In Touch - October 19, 2005

Receiving the Good Things in Life
Two extreme opinions about material wealth exist among Christian people. One says that to be truly spiritual, a believer must keep few worldly goods. Proponents of the opposite idea think that prosperity is a sign of God's favor and, therefore, a desired possession can be claimed by faith. Both ideas are wrong, which leaves many followers of Jesus wondering, What is theright approach?
A hindrance to answering the question is our common view of what constitutes "good things"; usually these are defined as items and experiences that make us feel happy. From God's perspective, however, the good things in life are those that fit into His individualized purpose and plan for us. His will could include prosperity, robust health, talents, and opportunities. More than likely, the Lord's plan involves some periods of trouble and need, and He considers those times valuable too.
When our vision of what is truly good clears, we are ready to understand how to receive God's blessings. The key to receiving life's good things is to seek the Lord rather than the treasures He has to give. We often approach God with an empty basket rather than an open heart — we tell Him what we need and wait for the bin to be filled. But an open heart says, "God, I just want more of You."
According to Psalm 34:8, God Himself is good, and James 1:17 says that He is the source of "every good and perfect gift." Giving blessings from His storehouse is in God's nature, but He wants His children to seek Him most of all.

Remember the officially worst email that a bride could possibly send to her bridesmaids? How they had to let her know their plans for the next seven months? How they had to be prepared to cough up money for no less than three parties in three different states and not utter one complainy sigh about it? Wellzzzzz, let's just say that bride is suddenly looking rather low-maintenance. Because, yes, folks, another bride on steroids has taken her title of Worst Bride Emailer. Her email(s) is more condescending, more demanding, and most importantly, much, much longer. Check them out.
More from The Stir: This Is Officially the Worst Email a Bride Could Ever Send to Her Bridesmaids
The emails are too long to render here in their entirety; however, you will quickly get the scary gist of them. They start out:
Welcome to my bridal party. I thought today would be a great day to start this chain, as it is officially six months until my wedding day.
I just wanted to go over some ground rules.
"Ground rules." Ruh-roh.
1. Weigh-ins will begin in 3 weeks. I for one would really like some time after Thanksgiving to make my body forget about what it consumed, so I thought I would give you guys some cushion room.
2. No-one can be skinnier than the bride. That means Kelly and Lizzie will be on a protein weight gainer diet exclusively until May. I will have the nutritionist call you to discuss diet plans.
Anyone still reading needs their head examined. BUT WAIT. This is a JOKE, right? Surely this bride is poking fun of all of those zilla brides who send hopped up on marital fumes emails to their pals? Surely. SHE MUST BE. Soooo ... okay, I'll read a bit more.
3. Bed times leading up to the wedding will be strictly enforced. I absolutely cannot have you all have saggy, baggy eyes. I am sure you all understand.
4. Swimwear attire: I would like everyone to wear matching bikinis that have rhinestones on the tushie spelling out "maids," which brings me to my next point.
5. All bikinis leading up to the wedding must be strapless bandeaus. I cannot have terrible tan lines in strapless dresses.
6. Sunscreen: We need to make sure you ladies look lovely and radiant and not red and reptile like. Pack accordingly.
7. Speeches: We all know what happened at Taylor's wedding. So if you plan to make a toast, please submit it for approval and revision, no later than 4 weeks prior to the wedding.
8. Hair cuts: If you plan on chopping off your locks, please submit your proposed new look prior to any actions (this applies to coloring as well).
9. Attendance: is strongly requested at all events but I will make some exceptions on a case by case basis.
10. Ink: Consider this a moratorium on future tattoos until June 5th. Those of you with visible artwork will be privately contacted with (temporary) removal instructions.
The bride-to-be signs off "just kidding," but then adds the telltale "well, sorta," which lets you know that, well, WTF, she is kidding but NOT REALLY KIDDING.
Even if, at this point, you swallow the idea that this is all one elaborate prank, the bride-to-be sent out no less than five more excruciatingly long and demanding "joke" emails -- calling her bridesmaids "workout bees" and signing it "Queen Bee." The "joke" (??!!) suggestions include that the bridesmaids all send photos of themselves in their dresses -- and be sure to wear Spanx.
I guess it's not entirely surprising that at least one bridesmaid dropped out mid-email chain.
WTF brides. You are getting married. You didn't discover the cure for cancer. Or even smelly feet. Getting married is something that even the most repulsive people on the planet often manage to do.
Being a bridesmaid costs money. Time. Energy. And, frankly, most bridesmaids would rather just stay home, cook, and catch up on sleep. You are not honoring your bridesmaids by asking them to be in your wedding party. They are honoring YOU by agreeing to it.
So if this bride meant all of this as an elaborate joke, the truth is, the joke is on her.
Any wedding party horror stories you'd like to share?

Yeah, I'm sure if I were a woman and got this e-mail after being asked to be a bridesmaid, my response would be "See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya!"
No wonder I have never been a bridesmaid.
LMAO.. I had one bridemaid at my wedding, all I asked her to do was get a blue dress. I didn't care what the style was, it just had to be a shade of blue. My gods, I thought I was demanding by asking that. Oh, that and I made my Dad wear a tie LOL!!!
Im afraid this does happen. I always refuse to be their bridesmaid if they ask their bridesmaid to do things like this. I understand some things like perhaps not having your hair colored a crazy color or getting a dress that covers up tattoos when the pictures are taken and the wedding day comes. But when they ask you to get fat, or smile very little, or tell you that you are only allowed to dance a couple times and when you do to not 'show up the bride' because your job is basically to be the background of the bride... I flat out tell them I refuse. I lost 2 friendships so far sad to say.
I'm so glad I'm the Pianist-Vocalist at weddings.
I got told I was demanding because I wanted my bridesmaids in yellow substrates between fingertip and knee length and black flips flops and the groomsmen in green polos, khaki pants and black or brown shoes. I got a little upset when my sil showed up in a white dress with with a little yellow on it and had to wear my husband's yellow and blue shirt.
Sundresses not substrates

MOVIES: New 'Popeye' Film Gets Two Writers
Hollywood once again reaches into our childhood and grabs another beloved property to reinvent, and it looks like they're going to be doing Popeye this time around. But instead of having it live-action like the image above from the 1980 film starring Robin Williams, this new film will be animated.
Sony Animated Pictures has actually been working on this movie since last year, but according to ComingSoon, the project is beginning to move forward, hiring Jay Scherick and David Ronn to pen the script. This will be their second project with the studio, who recently did The Smurfs earlier this year. Although most critics smashed on the movie with negative reviews, it grossed a good $550 million.
The new Popeye will be in 3D, and is produced by Avi Arad. The producer also had a few things to say about the upcoming project:
"Popeye has been my childhood favorite character. To me he was always the everyday man who gets special powers and actually becomes the first superhero in the best meaning of the word. When Scott Sassa called, Ari and I were beyond excited to be working with Jay Scherick & David Ronn and Sony Pictures Animation to bring this iconic character to the big screen in glorious stereoscopic 3D. We enjoy working with the Sony Pictures Animation team and with Rocky and company from Hearst Publishing. I cannot wait to go sailing!"
Yes, this is character from my childhood and movie from mr. Altman is not doing him any good. It was a bad movie.
Hope this new animated will be much, much better :)

Understanding Leaky Gut Syndrome
Although leaky gut syndrome (also known as intestinal hypermeability) isn't generally recognized by conventional physicians as a real medical condition, there is increasing evidence that the problem is genuine. Leaky gut syndrome is the result of damage to the intestinal lining.
A healthy intestine is lined with permeable mucosal tissues that regulate the passage of nutrient particles from the gut into the blood stream, acting as a safety net to determine which particles are safe to crossover through the intestinal wall and which ones should be removed from the digestive system. When the intestinal lining is damaged it can "leak," making it less able to protect the internal environment and filter nutrients. This allows larger-than-normal particles such as undigested food, microbes, wastes, and toxins to get into the lymphatic system or bloodstream, triggering an immune response that causes inflammation.
Symptoms of Leaky Gut Syndrome
While the inflammation response is a normal protective mechanism, if the inflammation continues, it can lead to a myriad of gastrointestinal problems, including:
- Bloating
- Cognitive problems
- Excessive gas and cramps
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Food sensitivities
- Joint and muscle pain
- Rashes
- Shortness of breath
Leaky gut syndrome may also trigger or worsen other disorders, such as Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma.
Anything that alters the mucosal lining of your GI tract can contribute to leaky gut syndrome. Some causes include:
- Chronic inflammation
- Consuming excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates and sugars as well as highly processed foods
- Food allergies
- Lactose intolerance
- Ingesting large amounts of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
- Cytotoxic (cancer) drugs and radiation
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Compromised immune system
If you're experiencing leaky gut symptoms, see your doctor for an evaluation.
Taking the steps below may help repair the damage to the lining of your intestine and relieve your symptoms:
- Chew your food slowly. Eating fast and swallowing unchewed food makes your digestive system work harder.
- Avoid alcohol and NSAIDs, as well as any food you may be allergic to, such as dairy or yeast products.
- Add more fiber to your diet gradually. Because high fiber intake can exacerbate symptoms until the gut is healed, try slowly adding more easily digestible types of fiber to your diet, such as bananas, pears, applesauce, and well-cooked squash.
- Adopt an anti-inflammatory diet that includes whole grains, beans and legumes, fatty fish, such as salmon and sardines and healthy fats like olive and canola oil.

Erection Problems (Erectile Dysfunction) (cont.)
Symptoms of erection problems (erectile dysfunction) include being unable to:
Even with an erection problem, a man may still have sexual desire and be able to have an orgasm and to ejaculate.
What Happens
Most men have occasional erection problems (erectile dysfunction). But when erection problems become persistent, they can affect your self-image, sex life, and relationship. When you have persistent erection problems, "performance anxiety" can make the problem worse. If you cannot maintain an erection that is firm enough for intercourse, or you have an orgasm before or immediately after entering your partner (premature ejaculation), you may feel frustrated and believe you are not pleasing your partner. All of these factors could influence how you view your relationship.
Fortunately, many of the physical and psychological factors that cause erection problems respond to treatment.
What Increases Your Risk
Your risk of having an erection problem (erectile dysfunction) increases with age.
Diseases, physical or psychological problems, and certain activities also may increase your risk.
Diseases that affect blood vessels include:
Diseases or procedures that affect nerves include:
Other conditions include:
Injuries or treatment include:
Medicines and other substances that increase your risk include:
Psychological risk factors include:
Activities that constrict blood flow to the penis—such as frequent long-distance bicycle riding on a hard, narrow saddle—may increase a man's risk of developing an erection problem. But experts continue to debate this issue.
A vasectomy usually does not cause erection problems. But pain after the operation may affect sexual performance for a time, and if a man was not comfortable with his decision to have a vasectomy, or is having second thoughts, it could affect him psychologically.

Part of our One Hit Wonders film series, featuring great new documentaries at special one-night-only screenings!
Enter our free raffle and you could win Big Star books, Big Star t-shirts, and shirts and gift certificates from Zia Records!
The rocking new doc about Big Star, "the greatest band that never made it."
"Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me is a feisty, moving tribute." - Ain't It Cool News
"First-rate … should satisfy both long-term acolytes and those newly curious of Big Star's timeless artistry." - The Skinny (UK)
"Directors Drew DeNicola and Olivia Mori have gathered an impressive amount of memorabilia on the band and captured some amazingly insightful, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking commentary." - PopShifter
Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me is a unique portrait of the seminal rock band who crafted three albums now considered to be pop masterpieces. Never experiencing popular success in their time - even today, they're most widely known for their song "In the Street," heard on TV's That '70s Show - Big Star has been cited as an influence by artists including REM, The Replacements, and Wilco. The film traces the history of the band from then-teenage singer Alex Chilton's stardom with The Box Tops in the Sixties, through the tumultuous recording of the group's landmark albums, and each band member's subsequent struggles to define themselves after the band's demise. Weaving never-before-seen footage and photos of the band together with in-depth interviews, director Drew DeNicola has created a unique portrait of four incredibly talented musicians who fell victim to the corporate stranglehold that the major record labels and radio stations held over the music industry. Most triumphantly, Big Star also documents the resurrection of the band by passionate musicians and music journalists, who discovered their music in later years, and came to treasure it as, in the words of singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock, "a letter that got lost in the mail." (Dir. by Drew Denicola, 2012, USA, 100 mins., PG-13, Magnolia Pictures) Digital

A League of Their Own
The 1992 movie inspired young girls and honored the women of the AAGPBL
By Samantha Carr
March 15, 2012
Before there was Abby Wambach, Jenny Finch or the Williams sisters, there was Dottie, Kit and "All the Way" Mae.
These characters from the 1992 hit film "A League of Their Own" may not have been real, but they were based on the women who played in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League from 1943-54. Forty years later, the movie created icons out of female athletes and gave young women role models who were strong and tough on the diamond but wore dresses and makeup off it.
The film, directed by Penny Marshall, starred Geena Davis as Dottie and Lori Petty as Kit, two sisters from Oregon who are recruited for a tryout with the AAGPBL, which was created during World War II when many men were overseas fighting for their country. The league was designed to keep Americans interested in baseball and take their minds off the war.
The competitive sisters join the Rockford Peaches with manager Jimmy Dugan, played by Tom Hanks, and an impressive supporting cast of teammates with Madonna as Mae, Rosie O'Donnell as Doris and Megan Cavanaugh as Marla. But soon – after Kit is traded – the sisters find themselves on opposite sides of a World Series game.
The movie made more than $107 million at the box office and educated the American public about some of the earliest professional female athletes. It brought a story about family, women's roles and the game of baseball to fans everywhere.
Costumes from the movie are on exhibit in the Hall of Fame's Diamond Dreams exhibit, and scenes from the movie itself were filmed in Cooperstown and at the Hall of Fame.
"Though big of budget, "A League of Their Own" is one of the year's most cheerful, most relaxed, most easily enjoyable comedies," said one review in the New York Times. "It's a serious film that's lighter than air, a very funny movie that manages to score a few points for feminism in passing."
Samantha Carr is the former manager of web and digital media for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Let's Talk Pits…And How To Make Ours Look And Feel Prettier
Written on March 5, 2014 at 3:05 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
Our underarms are often one of the most-overlooked places on our bodies. Besides shaving and swiping on deodorant, we don't usually treat our armpits to any special skin care routine. Dove Advanced Care Deodorant is setting out to change that. They're launching a new campaign—"Dear Armpit"—to encourage women to finally speak out about the way they feel about this mysterious place. To celebrate, they are offering women tips on how to give themselves a "PitiCure" (more on that below) and helping them to see their armpits in a new light. You can join in on the conversation, too, by tweeting your thoughts to @Dove with the hashtag #deararmpit. We recently stole some time with NYC-based dermatologist, Dr. Ellen Marmur, who has partnered with Dove to improve women's underarm care. Read on for her expert tips.
Let's talk about how the "Dear Armpit" campaign is helping raise awareness for taking care of your underarms.
"So we're launching this campaign by having real women put on sleeveless blouses and sleeveless tops and taking a photo in a photo booth and raising their armpits and getting a 'PitiCure.' As a dermatologist, I have been telling my patients for so many years how to take care of their skin, and the armpit skin has its own list of issues that no one talks about. Every time people shave, especially if they're using an old razor, they are stripping away about 36 perent of their skin's surface cells, not just the hair, so they're stripping their skin and causing irritation. Then you've got the underarm sweat, which has salt and enzymes, and you've got any debris from your clothing and things rubbing in that area that can lead to rashes, which can cause the skin to get thicker, which we call alligator skin. Once you get any irritation or redness, that can lead to blemishes, meaning brown discoloration, in the underarm and I think that leads people to feel really embarrassed and ashamed about wearing certain clothing."
So what exactly is a "PitiCure" and how can someone give themselves one at home?
"So the 'PitiCure' is Dove's way of making it really lovely and easy to think about. The idea is that it's like a pedicure, where you take special care of your feet, which also used to be considered ugly; the 'PitiCure' is a way to take care of your armpits. It is a three-step process, where you might do it three times a week.
1. In the shower gently wash, not scrub, the underarms to get rid of any impurities or debris using your favorite cleanser.
2. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. With my patients and in general, people forget to dry their skin thoroughly after their bath or shower and they leave water droplets under their arms that can trap water and lead to further problems with the skin.
3. Apply Dove Advanced Care Deodorant ($5, drugstores) which is a multitasker and I think this is the 'Aha!' moment which is that your underarm care can have a multi-tasker: a deodorant, an antiperspirant and the nutrient moisture. Swipe it on just three times and that is enough to give you 48 hours of protection.
I think it doesn't occur to most people to actually moisturize their underarms but this is where you can prevent those issues. No one ever tells you how much deodorant to put on but if you do, say, five swipes, you're going to end up with residue which can irritate you as well, physically, and if you do only one swipe, you're not getting enough of the product."
Is there any danger with deodorant penetrating the skin's surface?
"That's a really good question. I want to go back to the basics, where skin's number one function is to protect. So the skin has all these myths about it, like that it breathes or that it absorbs; nothing absorbs into the skin easily. So, products that you put onto your skin, they go into the top dead surface cells, but they actually don't penetrate down into the vessels, where the blood vessels would absorb it into the body. And even the tiny ducts, they have their own skin-lining them, so you're still not absorbing the product. I asked that same question and I looked into the data, because I also want to be counseling in a safe way, so we've been looking into studies. The ingredient that has led to controversy is the aluminum ingredient and it's found in the body, but it's considered to be in the body because of the foods we eat, and that does make sense that you're eating food that goes into the gut and the gut's main job is to absorb, but they weren't able to detect any absorption, especially around the armpit where you would get it from applying deodorant."
And what if you have any nicks from shaving? Is there any risk from applying deodorant over that?
"The deodorant has a powder ingredient in it, and powder itself causes bleeding to stop. Like if you cut your finger and put baby powder, or even baking powder, it actually causes the blood to clot. So it is safe in that sense, it'll stop the bleeding and the moisturization and glycerin that's in the nutrient moisture will actually help it heal faster. If it's a huge gash, see your dermatologist. You definitely don't want to try to fix something like that yourself."

Ciara on the Grammy's, Her Wedding Day Beauty Plans and Her Must-Have Product
Written on January 21, 2014 at 10:28 am , by Fitness Magazine
Not only is Ciara working on her sixth album, planning a wedding and performing at the official Grammy's after-party, she just announced she is pregnant! It's not hard to see that Ciara is practicing what she preaches as Degree Women's DO:MORE ambassador. We got to sit down with Ciara to learn more about the DO:MORE campaign and how she juggles it all.
Tell us more about the Degree Women DO:MOREcampaign and why you're passionate about it?
"I'm so excited about teaming up with Degree Women because the campaign is all about inspiring and encouraging women to work hard and to do more of what they love. I really relate to that because being an entertainer, it's all about facing challenges and figuring out how to improve and get better and to do more. So I get to share my challenges and share my journey in hope of inspiring other women to know that we're all the same and you can do more and you should always work hard to achieve your goals. So that's what I really love about this campaign. In addition to that, this year I'll be performing at the official Grammy after party. It's going to be so much fun and there's really cool videos online [here] where you can see how I prepare for a night like this. You get to hear about the hard work and the journey and why I do more."
What is your favorite part about the Grammys and does anything change knowing that you have to perform afterwards?
"My favorite part is being able to see the performances. I love stage-show presentation. I always love seeing what my peers are going to do and I love seeing the unexpected. And then of course, yes, after the show is definitely something I'm looking forward to but I'm also going to definitely be taking a nap in-between after I go to the show! So it's all about balance in that day."
How are you juggling everything you have going on while also preparing for the Grammys?
"The key word is balance! That's what it's all about for me. It's about really taking everything one day at a time. Still working hard, still doing more, still doing all that good stuff but just balancing everything out and adjusting where I need to. But I still go into it with the same mentality of wanting things to be great. I still go into it with the mentality of wanting to have an energetic show and most importantly wanting to have fun!"
Do you have a pre-Grammy beauty routine to get your skin perfect?
"It depends on the day. Sometimes I go and get a good microderm. I love microderms, I do it once a month. But sometimes when I know events like that are coming up and I have enough time, I'll go by a dermatologist to get it one time. I make sure it's close to when I'm doing the event because your skin really does glow and you get off some of that dead skin and the look is very fresh. I'll do something like that and then if I feel dehydrated, I'll do a mask that hydrates your face a little bit. But it's really simple to be honest. It's not a whole lot that you do. I always believe that less is more so we try not to over apply the makeup but we try to apply enough so it can last throughout the long day of the red carpet and all the moving and everything."
So with everything else going on, you also have a wedding to think about! Do you know what you want your hair and makeup to look like for the big day?
"I have an idea, I know the feeling I want. I want elegance more than anything and I want classic. I can't say exactly what the creative ideas are but I know the feeling and that's definitely elegance and classic."
Is there a way Future prefers your hair?
"It's so funny, he likes it all kinds of ways actually! I know he likes when I wear my hair out of my face, he loves that! And he actually loves my hair blonde. Sometimes I talk about going dark and he's like, 'yea, but that look right there is hot!' So I don't know, I definitely want it to be easy; I don't want to have to be fussing with my hair."
Well, it's obvious that you look great! What do you do to stay active and has it changed at all now that you're pregnant?
"I train with my trainer, Gunnar [Peterson]. When we train, we do an hour session. We just modified things, you know I can't do crunches or anything like that, or lay on my stomach anymore, but we still do things that are close to what I would do if I wasn't pregnant. And it's all about still keeping that energy up, still keeping the cardio strong and just having balance in your body overall."
Since you are so busy, is there a beauty product must-have that makes you feel put together on the go?
"I always have a pinky/nude lip liner and I take a peach/nude lipstick to lay it on top of the liner so it gives your lips more dimension and the liner gives you a fuller lip. I always have to have that combination! Something about it lifts your face to me. I also love concealer. You know, sometimes if you don't want to do a full face you can put a little bit under your eyes and it just makes you look refreshed."
So, since we're talking about the Degree DO:MOREcampaign, do you have a favorite formula you like to wear?
"I've tried everything in the world and there's honestly nothing like Degree. I promise you, if you're not wearing it, you need to switch! Because it's one of those things that you're going to always feel fresh, if you are sweating, this protects you. It activates when you move and protects you when you move. So that's what I love about the deodorant but it's also fresh and it's really strong! This deodorant lasts overnight and when you start over again in the morning, it lasts the whole day. There's nothing like it!"
Is there anything you do to help calm you down in stressful/sweaty situations besides wearing your Degree deodorant?
"It's psychological, I do believe that. You have to tell yourself sometimes that you're not really feeling what you're feeling. You have to pause and breathe. I think that when you take a moment and just pause you kind of slow down the reaction of sweating and everything getting out of control. So, I think a lot of it is mental."

- £79.99
cmCreatePageviewTag( sfcm_makePageId( 'Info', true ), sfcm_makeCategoryId( '600275' ), '', '', '10052-_-Info-_--_--_--_--_-'+ (_sfcm_isVIP ? 'Y' : 'N') +'-_-');
Make fitness a lifestyle with the FitBit Flex wireless activity & sleep wristband. During the day, it tracks steps, distance, and calories burned. At night, it tracks your sleep quality and wakes you silently in the morning. Just check out the lights to see how you stack up against your personal goal. It's the motivation you need to get out and be more active.
cmCreatePageviewTag( sfcm_makePageId( 'Details', true ), sfcm_makeCategoryId( '' ), '', '', '10052-_-Details-_--_--_--_--_-'+ (_sfcm_isVIP ? 'Y' : 'N') +'-_-');
Set a goal and go
Flex allows you to set a goal and uses LED lights to show how you're stacking up. Each light represents 20% of your goal. You choose which one — steps, calories, or distance. It lights up like a scoreboard, challenging you to be more active day after day.
Powered by Fitbit's leading-edge accelerometer, Flex bases calculations like calories burned on your personal profile — reflecting your stats, not any average Joe's.
Helps you get your ZZZs
Flex never sleeps, even when you do. Continue to wear it all night and it'll measure your sleep quality. Your dashboard will reveal how long you slept and the number of times you woke up to help you learn how to sleep more soundly. Flex also has a silent wake alarm that gently vibrates to wake you at your desired time, without disturbing your partner.
Always by your side
Flex is your perfect companion. It fits comfortably around your wrist so you can wear it proudly all day and night.
Sync your stats. See your progress
Flex automatically syncs your data to PCs, Macs, many iOS devices and select Android phones without plugging in or pushing buttons. This gives you real-time access to your stats on the Fitbit dashboard throughout the day. Also with select NFC-enabled Android devices, you can tap your device to launch your Fitbit stats. It's like magic.
Discover your trends
Flex comes with free online tools and a mobile app that allow you to set goals and follow your progress through awesome graphs and charts. Log food, workouts and much more and get the inside scoop on your health. Knowing how close you are to reaching your goals gives you the motivation to reach them and aim higher.
Flexibility to match your style
Flex tracker is flexible. You can take this tiny tracker out and put into any of Flex's colorful bands to fit your mood. Check out our accessory band colors and look good no matter what you're wearing.
Plays well with other apps
Weight trends can be influenced by a variety of fitness and nutrition factors. Fitbit works with several popular health apps that let you export your Fitbit data their way. Some, like Lose It!, also let you import their data into your Fitbit dashboard, so you can track your stats in either location.

Flex™ tracker Large & small wristbands in black Wireless sync dongle Charging cable Free Fitbit.com membership - includes ability to log and track activity, food, sleep, water, body mass, weight, and more Access to free mobile apps for iPhone and Android
Controls & Display
Flex uses five white LED indicator lights to show you how your day is stacking up against your goals. Each light represents 20% of your goal. Just tap the display twice to see your progress against your daily goal.
SMALL*: 5.5 - 6.9 inches (140 - 176 mm) LARGE*: 6.3 - 8.2 inches (161 - 209 mm) WIDTH: 0.6 inches (13.99 mm) *Fitbit Flex is sold with both a small and large wristband.
Wireless sync to PC & Mac
Fitbit's trackers are the first all day activity trackers to offer Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, so you see your stats in real-time. Syncing occurs automatically any time Flex is within about 20 feet of the wireless sync dongle and is relatively motionless. The dongle plugs into your Mac or PC's USB port. Syncing and uploading require use of the Fitbit Connect application.
Wireless sync to mobile
Syncing Flex™ to your smartphone or tablet requires Bluetooth 4.0. This allows your Flex to sync wirelessly and automatically with a wide range of leading iOS and Android Smartphones. For a full list of supported devices, visit: http://www.fitbit.com/devices If your phone does not support Bluetooth 4.0, you're still in luck. The Fitbit mobile app works with all smartphones for logging data, receiving notifications, and viewing graphs and charts based on your last sync.
We recommend syncing your data regularly. As long as Flex has battery power, it tracks the most recent seven days of detailed, minute-by-minute data. It also tracks your daily total for the past 30 days and summarizes your daily calories, distance, and steps taken.
Batteries & Power
Flex battery lasts approximately five days when fully charged. When charging your Flex the LED lights will indicate its level of charge. All 5 lights will light up when it's fully charged. You can also see your battery level on your Dashboard and mobile application. Remember to charge your Flex every 3 to 5 days to ensure you are always tracking.

I get it you're old, you're buff and you could care less that you have saggy balls. But, I don't need you're advice old-timer. Actually I have some advice for you: Jack Lelanne just died, and you should too.
Do you wanna know why you're fat? Because you think walking is an aerobic exercise. He could walk from here to Timbuktu and back, and you'd still be fat. Want to lose weight? Here's a tip: eat less.P.S. Spandex is a right not a privilege
I'm sorry to be the one who has to break it to you but "not fat" does not equal muscular! Please stop checking out your guns in the mirror cuz you're making a fool out of yourself, and distracting me. You never see Susan Struthers standing next to a couple of starving Somalian kids having a pose off do you? So do us all a favor and get yourself some steroids.
Doesn't it seem like this guy is always walking around pissed off because other people have the audacity to work out at HIS gym? Could you imagine anybody else doing this? Imagine a librarian just being a huge dick to everyone that can't read as well. Don't even get me started on the grunts these guys make. It sounds like they are literally taking a huge shit and orgasming instantaneously.
If I have to hear you singing along to one more freaking song I just might bite your face off. There is a fine line between annoying as fuck and inspiring. Find it.
Um yeah, FYI you're at a gym not a Greek bathhouse. If I'm in the sauna sweatin out a hangover the last thing I need is your creepy ass making small talk.
You have cauliflower ear. You're little brother is your entourage. You spend all your money on tattoos (and Tapout gear). You live at home and your idea of upward mobility is being promoted to head bouncer.You're not a fighter. You're a douche.
Here's a news flash: it's the gym, not the set of a modeling shoot. Leave the jeans and the converse at home, and start working out something other than your glamor muscles. Until then, we're just going to assume you're gay.
I don't know what's worse: using the bench after this guy, or getting stuck sleeping in the wet spot after sex? Oh yeah PS: If you know you are gonna sweat like a pig, then it might be a good idea to invest in some non-gray gym clothes. You're just gonna have to trust me on this one bud.
I get it. I get it. You're gay. But does that really justify wearing a fish net tank to the gym? Does anything ever justify wearing a fish net ever? I think the only appropriate use of fish net is on a hooker or when actually fishing.
The End.

Basic Use of Classroom Technology Carts
1) Important Dos and Don't
2) Overview of Setup
3) Projector
4) Sound System
6) Remote Mouse
8) Attaching a Laptop
9) Thumb or Flash Drives
10) TV Tunner
First, some basic DO's and DONT'S:
DO familiarize yourself with equipment and software prior to need.
DO try to arrive early enough to test room equipment prior to use.
DO have a Plan-B in the event you encounter a problem.
DO basic housekeeping before you leave pick up personal items and extra class materials, turn off projectors and replace gyro mice on their charging stands. Close and lock windows, and insure the thermostat is set at 72 degrees, more-or-less.
DO lock classrooms when you leave. Do not allow students to stay behind unmonitored. Report any classroom you find open upon your arrival to the Provost's office.
DO report any room problems to Facilities at x-4907. Report equipment problems to the university HELP desk: x-4357
* * * * *
DO NOT move the cart more than a few feet. Take care not to damage or disconnect cables if you do.
DO NOT place papers on top of the sound system. Doing so shortens its life AND is a fire hazard !
DO NOT leave class materials on the cart and expect them to be there upon your return!
DO NOT attempt to fix problems yourself or leave unreported problems for the next person to discover!
DO NOT remove electronics from the cart for any reason.
The system is made up of the following:
The projector is mounted on the celling is installed for the best picture so no other adjustments are needed. As all functions of the system depend on the projector to show the image you wish students to view we will start with that.
Things to look for if you have problems:
Sound System
If you are using the PC to show something from the Web the "PC Sound" button should be pushed, if you are using the VCR or DVD to show a movie or other media then the VCR-DVD button must be pushed.
All the sound for the room is controlled by the receiver. The installation is set up so that the system is broadcasting on the center and the two front channels only, the rear speakers are not installed and if the system is placed in the the 5 speaker surround mode the sound quality will be poor.
During the installation the system is tuned so that the only buttons you need to adjust are the power, volume, and input source. If you are playing a DVD and the sound is less than you expected you can press the "Digital Input" button which may help in this case.
If there is no sound check the following:
If all of these things are set as they should be then call the helpdesk.
Using/Projecting the PC:
Turn ON the projector and give it 2 minutes to warm up.
Ensure the sound system is turned ON.
Select CD on the sound system by pressing the appropriately-labeled button.
Press the appropriate button on the projector remote select RGB mode.
Adjust volume by using the volume control knob of the sound system.
Troubleshooting PC Problems:
Unable to Login / No NAL SUITES:
Make certain the network cable has not been disconnected. If the cable is found to be disconnected, reattach the cable and RESTART the computer.
Try Internet Explorer. If you can reach a web site, then basic connectivity is present. Locate the red N in the system tray (lower right corner), right-click on it, and select Netware Login . Use the Username that is posted on the cart's monitor. Leave the password field blank.
NOTE: All cart systems have the basic Microsoft Office suite loaded locally. If you are unable to access NAL SUITES, then go to Start, Programs, then locate the particular Microsoft Office package you wish to use.
Program locked up or entire computer locked up:
If the computer is locked up, that is to say there is no mouse or keyboard control: First, ensure the problem is not simply the wireless mouse dying. Try to get the computer's attention with the wired mouse, or by pressing the Microsoft key, located on the lower left of the keyboard between the <Ctrl> and <Alt> keys.
If the computer is totally non-responsive: Press and hold the Power button on the computer for about ten seconds. The computer will then turn off after a ten second delay. Wait another ten seconds, then press the power button again to begin a reboot.
If the computer is functioning but a program is locked up:
Have patience. Sometimes opening a large file or new program will trigger the antivirus software to do a scan, so it may take up to twenty seconds to respond. If the unit IS locked up, try pressing <Ctrl><Alt>< Del > simultaneously. The task manager should pop up. Select Task List, and a list of tasks should appear. Choose the offending program and select END TASK. If this does not work, try again, but this time select the Shutdown tab and restart the computer.
No PC sound
Check to insure the sound system is ON and in the CD position. Ensure the sound card is not muted by clicking the small speaker icon on the system tray in the lower left hand area of the monitor, and when the Volume Control panel opens, be sure that the Mute boxes are not checked. Try turning up the Master Volume slider and the Wave slider. By clicking on the master volume slider a small blip tone is produced, and you can verify basic functionality in this manner. If everything seems to be correct at this point call the helpdesk at 4357.
Wireless Mouse problems:
If you find the wireless mouse dead:
It often takes a double-click of the button on the underside of the mouse to wake it up. Be patient as the wake-up cycle can take up to ten seconds.
If the mouse can't be awakened, return it to the cradle to be charged. Report it to the HELPdesk if it does not begin to slowly flash a green light after a few minutes. You'll need to use the wired mouse for this class, as it takes over an hour for the mouse to reach a minimal charge. A properly charged mouse with healthy batteries should be good for a couple of day's use without a charge, so please report this to the HELPdesk so we can check it out and, if necessary, replace the batteries.
Never move a mouse from one classroom to another! These units are digitally anchored to their specific cradle/receiver and will not operate properly if the pairing is broken.
Using the VCR-DVD Player:
Turn ON the projector and give it 2 minutes to warm up.
Ensure the sound system is turned ON
Select VCR-DVD on the sound system by knob or pressing the appropriately-labeled button.
Press the Input Select button on the projector remote until the proper mode is displayed.
Adjust volume by using the volume control knob of the sound system.
Connecting a Laptop to the System
On the top of the cart is an Input Control Switch with a cable connected to it. If you plug this cable into the port in the back of the laptop, and then press the control button on the switch you will be able to show the laptop screen through the projection system.
Keep in mind that you have have to "tell" the laptop you want it to use the back port in order for the image to be displayed. Different models of laptop control this function in different manners, some you press the Fn key and a key that in the F1 - F12 row, while other you have to open the video control panel and change the setting there.
Thumb or Flash Drive Use:
There are two USB ports located on the from of the computer tower and two on the left edge of the monitor. These should all be live ready to plug your drive into to retrieve your data.
TV Tunner
The TV tuner is built into the computer on this cart system.
This is the remote for the TV:
You can start the TV broadcast but pressing the "Power" button on the remote, or by using the desktop icon:
This will open another screen that looks like this:
Click on Enter and the TV viewer will open showing the last channel that was braodcast.
Moving the mouse to teh top of the screen will give you a dropdown where you can change channels one at a time, control volume and and make the view full screen:
You can also use the mouse and Right Click on the screen and you will get teh following menu:
If you chose "Channel List" from this screen you will get teh master channel list as below:
From this list you can chose any channel you wish by clicking on it and then clicking OK.

My SO has a priest by the name of Kimjongheal, and I rolled a boomkin named Owltsetung so we could level together for a bit via battlegrounds. Good times! One of the better names that I have come across is Convertibull, for a tauren druid. That one had me laughing out loud. I love a good pun! :)

Pond Hockey Classic draws crowds to Meredith
"We were champs for two years, that's pretty good," said Bill Neer of Moultonborough, a member of the Locals, as he watched the Broots Magoots receive their wooden cup trophy for winning the Just-for-Fun Under-35 Division championship, which the Magoots won, 7-5.
The Magoots had set their sights on winning after losing in the semifinals last year.
"It's sweet," said Magoot Nate Gagne of Manchester.
Winning the Just-for-Fun Over-35 Division, the Pylons of Chelmsford, Mass., defeated the Bulldogs of Sudbury, Mass. by a score of 5-4.
In the 40-plus Division, the Bumbles of Laconia defeated the Kings of the South Shore, Mass., by a score of 7-2.
In the 50-plus division, the Essex 73s of Nashua defeated T's Pub of Boston by a score of 6-4.
In the 30-Plus Division, the Frozen Hacks of Franklin, Mass., defeated the West Coast Blasters of Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, by a score of 9-6.
In the Open Division, the Ice Holes of Wakefield, Mass., won the trophy by defeating the Winnipesaukee Whalers of Meredith, 10-4.
In the Women's Division, the Eagles of Boston won the title, defeating Joe's Chicks of Laconia, 6-0.
Tournament organizer Scott Crowder said more teams will likely be added to the more than 200 that came to this year's tournament.
"From our perspective it was a great weekend being outside and playing hockey," Crowder said.

First National Spiritual Culture Student Competition in Bangladesh.3,343 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » First National Spiritual Culture Student Competition in Bangladesh.
By Atul Krishna
"I feel so much closer to Krsna as a result of this festival" said Sarmistha Chanda of Habigong. "I have become so inspired seeing so many other students from all over Bangladesh who are devotees of Krsna like me" said Sri Ram Gosh from Chadpur. These were some of the comments we heard from enlivened students participating in the first National Spiritual Culture Student Competition of Bangladesh. The competition was organized by Jagrato Chatro Samaj (Awakened Student Society) based in Sridham Mayapur. Under the guidance of His Holiness Bhakti Purusottom Swami, Jagrato Chatro Samaj organizes spiritual education programs for school students in Kolkata, West Bengal regional districts, and Bangladesh.
More than 6 thousand students participated in the first round of the competition which was conducted in schools in 28 regional areas of Bangladesh. The students were divided into junior, intermediate and senior levels, with separate categories for both girls and boys. The areas of the competition included devotional drawing and painting, bhajana singing, memorization & recitation of selected Gita slokas, drama, philosophical lecturing, poetry and even fancy devotional dress. The program utilized the natural competitive spirit of the students to enliven their interest in the traditional culture of Gaudia Vaisnavism in Bengal.
Local finals were held in the regional areas and those students who were leaders in their sections were invited to the National Finals in ISKCON Bangladesh headquarters,Swamibhag Asram, Dhaka. More than 1200 students made it to the finals which were held on May 18th and 19th, 2007. The inspired children insisted on their parent's participation in the program and through the powerful ties of family affection, many adults were also introduced to Krsna consciousness. Accommodation for the finalist and their families was arranged in ISKCON Swamibhag Asram and surrounding facilities such as the nearby Gaudia Matha and Ramkrsna Mission.
H.H. Purusottoma Maharaja was present in Dhaka for the finals and 1st 2nd, and 3rd place winners in the various sections were invited to participate, along with Maharaja, in a two day tour of holy places in Bangladesh.
The atmosphere was intense during the two days of the finals as the students were all eager to win awards in their various fields. During the two days of the finals program students and their families were enlivened with dramas, artistic exhibitions, sloka recitation. bhajan singing and short lectures and poetry given by the most talented students from all over the country.
Awards and certificates were given to the national winners of 1st 2nd, and
3rd place in each section and about 30 of the winning students were able to participate in a wonderful parikrama of Vaisnava thirtas in Bangladesh.
His Holiness Bhakti Purusottom Swami & ISKCON Bangladesh are showing an excellent example of how Krsna consciousness can be effectively spread throughout our communities in a very attractive and culturally enriched way.

Brooklyn, NY 11217-1415
The Dance Center
In 1998 the Mark Morris Dance Group purchased a derelict building on the corner of Flatbush and Lafayette Avenues in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and hired Beyer Blinder Belle Architects and Planners to design what would become the Mark Morris Dance Center.
The company broke ground on the Dance Center in July 1999 and construction was completed in September 2001 — View Photos. The Mark Morris Dance Center was constructed almost wholly with contributed funds, both public and private.
At the heart of the Mark Morris Dance Center are seven column-free studios with wood-sprung floors and spacious dressing rooms with lockers and showers. Primarily used by the company and school, the seven studios which range in size from 430 square-feet to 3,600 square-feet, are available for rent to non-profit dance companies at deeply discounted rates. The Dance Center also offers a wellness center, a performance space and expanded public spaces. It has become a haven, a society of dancing, a community enterprise for people of all ages and abilities.
"With its translucent walls, the entire building is a tribute to light and levity, which are hallmarks of his dances as well as catalysts for his creative process."

Tirumala Venkateswara Temple is a Hindu temple in the hill town of Tirumala, near Tirupati in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. It is around 600 km (370 mi) from Hyderabad, 138 km (86 mi) from Chennai and 291 km (181 mi) from Bangalore. The Tirumala Hill is 853m above sea level and is about 10.33 square miles (27 km2) in area. It comprises seven peaks, representing the seven heads of Adisesha, thus earning the name Seshachalam. The seven peaks are called Seshadri, Neeladri, Garudadri, Anjanadri, Vrushabhadri, Narayanadri, and Venkatadri. The temple is on Venkatadri (also known as Venkatachala or Venkata Hill), the seventh peak, and is also known as the "Temple of Seven Hills". The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Venkateswara, a form of the Hindu god Vishnu. Venkateswara is known by other names: Balaji, Govinda, and Srinivasa.
The temple lies on the southern banks of Sri Swami Pushkarini, a holy water tank. The temple complex comprises a traditional temple building, with a number of modern queue and pilgrim lodging sites. The temple is the richest pilgrimage center, after the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, of any faith (at more than INR 50,000 crore) and the most-visited place of worship in the World. The temple is visited by about 50,000 to 100,000 pilgrims daily (30 to 40 million people annually on average), while on special occasions and festivals, like the annual Brahmotsavam, the number of pilgrims shoots up to 500,000, making it the most-visited holy place in the world.
There are several legends associated with the manifestation of the Lord in Tirumala. According to one legend, the temple has a murti (deity) of Lord Venkateswara, which it is believed shall remain here for the entire duration of the present Kali Yuga.
Temple today:
TTD is operated by a Board of Trustees, and has increased in size through adoption of various Acts from five in 1951 to fifteen in 1987. The operations and management of TTD is the responsibility of an Executive Officer (EO), who is appointed by the government of Andhra Pradesh.
The temple attracts, on an average of approximately 60,000 pilgrims every day.[17] The popularity of the temple can be judged by its annual budget. The annual income is estimated at INR 10 billion in 2008. Most of its income is derived from the donations. Devotees donate to the TTD, which runs into the millions of rupees. TTD, the organisation running the welfare of the temple, runs various charitable trusts, whose funds are derived from the budget, and donations from the devotees.
The vimanam is a monumental tower with a golden roof. Its inner temple or vimanam houses the main deity, Lord Sri Venkateswara. The deity stands directly beneath a gilt dome called the Ananda Nilaya Divya Vimana. This exquisitely wrought deity, called the Mulaberam, is believed to be self-manifested, and no human being is known to have installed it in the shrine. The Lord wears a gold crown with a large emerald embedded in the front. On special occasions, he is adorned with a diamond crown. The Lord has a thick double tilaka drawn on his forehead, which screens his eyes. His ears are decorated with golden earrings.
His right hand is raised in a fist, which is decorated with a gem-set chakra; the left fist contains a Shankha (conch shell). The front right hand has its fingers pointing to his feet. His front left hand is akimbo. His body is dressed with yellow clothing tied with gold string and a gold belt with gold bells. He has a yajnopavita (sacred thread) flowing down crosswise from his left shoulder. He bears Sri Lakshmi Devi on his right chest and Sri Padmavathi Devi on his left chest. His feet are covered with gold frames and decked with gold anklets. A curved gold belt encompasses his legs.
The Ananda Nilaya Divya Vimana was covered with gilt copper plates and surmounted with a golden vase in the 13th century, during the reign of the Vijayanagara king Yadava Raya.The ancient and sacred temple of Sri Venkateswara is located on the seventh peak, Venkatachala (Venkata Hill) of the Tirupati Hill, and lies on the southern banks of Sri Swami Pushkarini.
Bangaru Vakili:
From the Tirumamani Mandapam, one can enter the Bangaru Vakili (Golden Corridor in Telugu) to reach the inner sanctum sanctorum. There are two tall copper images of the dwarapalakas Jaya and Vijaya on either side of the door. The thick wooden door is covered with gilt plates depicting the dasavataram of Sri Maha Vishnu. The doorway is directly in line with the Padi Kavali and the Vendi Vakili(Silver Corridor in Telugu). It admits pilgrims to the Snapana Mandapam. Suprabhatam is sung in front of this door.

"Wish I had gotten the longer unit. Now my crossbars are too close together to fit the canoe. Haven't used the unit yet. But it seems to ride on the car nicely. The lid feels somewhat flimsy. Guess we shall see!"

"I put these on my 2014 Forester. They fit well, and the installation was easy. When you buy a pair, they are sold as a front and rear pair, but the difference is not distinguishable and nothing on the package or in the enclosed instructions made note of this. I haven't noticed any increased noise, and I often drive with the roof open, so I think the aeroblade is a smart design. As far as roof racks go, they look nice and look like they will last a long time."

I was reminded a couple of days ago of the Google quote 'Done is better than perfect'. At the time I was frozen with indecision and these words made me think that my constant desire for things I do to be perfect is really holding me back. So I scribbled the words on a big piece of paper and stuck it on the wall. I've got my long list of things I've been working on and not finialised and I am on a mission to get things done. I mean who knows what perfect is anyway? Just get on and do it!

In the quest to reduce my stuff, last weekend my sister and I had a garage sale. Whilst the lead up was very stressful by the time we had filled the garage on Friday night with our unwanted goods I was already feeling a bit lighter.
Saturday morning at 7am there were already a bunch of people lined up at the gate. A quick dog walk, erecting our signage along the way, and we were ready to go. From a frenzied start we settled into steady customers and sales. By 2pm it was pretty much all over and we had cleared a lot of things from the garage and driveway.
Most of the people who came were really nice and I felt happy that my things would be with people who loved them. I now feel ready for another round of cleaning out. I must admit I often feel overwhelmed when I face a heap of stuff that I know I don't really want to keep but can't seem to get the energy/motivation to sort through. I need to remember that everyone feels like this and the trick is to only do a little bit at a time.
With close to two weeks until I move I have plenty to do but I feel like I am well on my way to 'falling in love with less'!

Last year I sold my apartment and moved into a large rental property. I was astounded at much stuff I had squirrelled away in what I thought was a roomy space but with limited storage. I promised myself I would de-clutter and have got rid of some things but now it's crunch time! I've bought a new place and it's compact. I don't want to fill it with occasional furniture and knick-knacks on every surface so I have 30 days to cull and move with only what I really love and want to keep.
Goodbye to all those things I've bought over the years at op shops, garage sales and second hand furniture stores that will be great if I buy a beach shack, a country retreat, a warehouse, a massive house or farm! I'm not buying any of those places in the foreseeable future and that's a fact.
Goodbye to a bunch of stuff that has been gifted, handed down or inherited that reminds me of someone special but I don't really like for its own sake and so keep in cupboards or storage.
Goodbye to the clothes I don't wear that I either don't like on me, love but are worn through/damaged/really out of fashion and those that just don't fit any more (some I don't think ever did!).
Then there are all the projects I plan to do. Craft, sewing, knitting, jewellery making and anything else I've seen in a store, magazine or on a blog and thought 'I can make that'…but I haven't.
And so it goes on! Frankly I've just got too much of everything.
So now I begin a serious clean out. I am approaching the job one room at a time following tips from the very clever Tanya Lea, a professional organiser from Declutterhome.
SORTING - Organise some empty boxes for sorting items. Decide what categories you need and label ready for sorting. For example: items to keep, charity, sell, repair, rubbish, for friends or family, storage (I am not putting anything in storage!).
RUBBISH BINS - Don't forget to take the bins out that week so they are empty and ready to use. Check with your local council to see if you get any free hard rubbish collections. Pre-book a rubbish skip bin if needed.
CHARITY – I have a pile of things to go to charity. Tanya suggests researching your favourite local charity and making sure they are taking donations. Some charities get overloaded with certain items so it's worth researching options in advance. Take note of their opening hours too!
SELL – I'm having a garage sale and putting some things on eBay and Gumtree. If they don't sell they will be going to charity.
DECLUTTERING/ORGANISING TIPS – Tanya says it doesn't matter what space she is organising she always follows the same steps: sort, assess, clean, put away, label.
1. Sort items into categories.
2. Assess what's to stay and what's to go.
3. Clean surfaces.
4. Put remaining items away in new logical homes.
5. Label storage, drawers and shelves to help keep organised.
Wish me luck!

Each year Australians send around 8 billion (yes that's right 8 BILLION!) bottles and cans into the environment as rubbish or litter. Environmental scientist and international top model Laura Wells has joined with Greenpeace as part of its push for a national Cash for Containers Scheme to reduce plastic rubbish that is killing marine wildlife and polluting the environment.
"This rising tide of plastic waste not only leaves our beaches, parks and rivers looking like rubbish tips but is killing marine animals like sea birds," says Laura.
"The birds swallow bits of plastic which get stuck in their stomach and build up to the point where they can't eat properly and starve. It's an awful death caused by plastic rubbish.
"A national Cash for Containers Scheme, similar to South Australia, could double recycling rates and greatly reduce plastic rubbish in our parks, beaches and oceans."
I guess a lot of us really do need more than just the good of the environment to change our habits – South Australia's 30-year-old container deposit scheme has delivered a recycling rate of 83% more than double the rest of Australia.
The Boomerang Alliance of over 20 environment groups including Greenpeace, the Australian Conservation Foundation, Cleanup Australia, and the Total Environment Centre, are calling on state and federal governments to introduce a national cash for containers scheme. Governments are expected to make a decision later this year. Join me in supporting this action by signing the petition here.

A few months ago an article by Tullia Jack appeared in The Conversation that got me thinking about how often I wash my clothes. Lately the spotlight's really been focused on sweatshop conditions, what's sustainable fashion, the amount of fast fashion ending up in landfill etc. We all want to feel that we are not contributing to bad production practices but I was shocked to read that it seems that everyday washing and drying of our own clothes damages the environment the most.
The environmental impact of our washing habits apparently outweighs all that was incurred getting the garment to us in the first place. Our compulsion with super cleanliness - don't even get me started on anti-bacterial wipes and so forth!!! – has us washing our clothes after just one wear. Technology has made it much easier for us to wash often and big brands want us to use more washing powder so encourage our obsession - but we are now washing what is really still clean a lot of the time.
I'm not suggesting you stop washing your clothes in the name of sustainability and saving the planet – but I know I over wash and now I'm going to rethink this habit and look to wash garments when they need it.
From today I am going to think more carefully not only about the type of clothing I buy and how it was made – but also not automatically throw clothes into the wash basket without considering if I can get another wear out of them.
