I'll be honest — I never thought I'd have anything in common with Kim Kardashian. And the secret we (and a handful of other celebs) share isn't anything to brag about. It's psoriasis. It's up there in the most annoying and uncomfortable skin disorders, and it's incurable. I inherited it from my dad's side of the family so I've always had some moral support from them, but I have to admit: Finding out that these beautiful women are suffering with the same thing I am made my feel a lot less alone. Take a look at these celebs who suffer with this annoying skin disorder, just like me.
When I was watching What Not To Wear recently I heard Stacy London — who I love and will always love — talk about her terrible skin condition. So I looked it up. Turns out she, too, suffers from psoriasis. Ever since I was a kid I sort of idolized her on the show because she's so poised and funny at the same time. And when you see beautiful people on TV you think they have everything figured out, and nothing to worry about. Finding out that Stacy London shares my problem was actually… awesome. She even acted as the spokesperson for the National Psoriasis foundation. Cool lady.
LeAnne Rimes, in all of her milky-skinned beauty, admitted to Shape magazine in an interview that psoriasis once covered 80 percent of her body. She got involved with the Stop Hiding And Start Living campaign after suffering from the disease since she was just two years old.
CariDee English. If you were ever a fan of America's Next Top Model you've probably heart of CariDee before. She won cycle 7 and was nothing if not totally beautiful. She admits that her psoriasis has brought her close to having to end her modeling career, saying:
It's a battle. Anyone who has it has their work cut out for them. You feel icky, ugly and insecure — and ostracized, like you're the only one who has it.
And it's true. If you want to see pictures of her battle, click here. But I'm warning you, it ain't pretty.
When Kim Kardashian found a bunch of scaly red spots on her legs, she sought a doctor's attention. When she found out it was psoriasis, she was immediately anxious.
People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect…When I gain a pound, it's in the headlines. Imagine what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots?
And whether you're a celebrity in the public eye or a girl who just wants to look her best, it can be crippling for your self-image.
There are treatments, diets and quick fixes (Kim swears by Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs spray) for sufferers of the disease, but the best measure by most accounts is to try not to stress out. But you can imagine having big pink patches on your skin doesn't exactly lower your stress levels. But for a disease that is unsightly and uncomfortable, at least we're not alone.
Do you or anyone you know suffer from psoriasis?

I purchased the Tria 4X several weeks ago and I LOVE it. I have been using it on my upper lip, legs and bikini area and after one use in some areas the hair has not returned. I would highly recommend as you have the option to return the product if you are not satisfied with the results. I bought from Home Shopping Channel and they are great with returns if you are unhappy with product. I checked out the actual Tria site and they have similar guarantee. The cost to purchase the product was a little more than a laser removal treatment so I personally feel it was well worth it.
Also, I would recommend starting at level three on more sensitive areas as it is somewhat painful at the highest level - five!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using it for 6 months on my chin, I don't have any hormonal disorder, I'm pale and the hairs are dark brown. Here's my opinion:
1. At the beginning it seemed to work wonders: 2 weeks after I used it for the first time, all the hair fell and I thought it was a good investment
2. In the first 3 months you have to use it every 15 days; after that, only once a month. And here's where it got tricky: using it once a month isn't enough. The hair grows back and you keep shaving it and wating for the month to pass. After the whole month waiting, I had the same amout of hair I had when I began using it... So it worked as long as I used it every 15 days because the hair didn't get to grow that much and it seemed less
3. It hurts. A lot! Especially on the face area. I used an anesthesic cream and it didn't work well. I usually put an ice-cube and rub it on my face until it freezes and then I don't feel the pain so much.
4. I had my bikini line (brazilian style, so imagine it hurt) done by a doctor at a clinic. It took about a year to get rid of it all, but it's been more than 2 years since and I have no hair in that area at all. The cost: nowadays, it's 3 sessions for 100 euros; within 6 sessions I was already hairless. The Tria costs 350 euros. It's true you have it and you can use it more than 6 times. But I guarantee you don't get the same result after the 6th, 7th nor 8th time...
5. The small tip the Tria has is the actual problem. It takes a while until you go across the whole patch of skin and you still miss some hairs since you don't see where it is because you're shaved. Don't let the hair grow in order to control its location, though.. It hurts and burns like hell! I have a tiny burn scar on my face because of it and it seems it's staying...
6. Start to use it on other areas only after you finished the whole treatment for the first one. Like after a year or more. It has limited charges and you may end up with half of the body hairy and the other one silky.
Conclusion: buy it ONLY if you need it for a small portion of your body. Be very patient. Don't expect professional results; the power it has is much lower than the ones clinics use (it's made for home use, with no medical surveillance), therefore, the process is longer and pretty painful.
I will give it 3 lipsticks because it's the only laser (not IPL) product for domestic use. It has to do something, but maybe it just takes more time... so I will keep using it and wait for the final result. I'm not sure how this will end up, but I'll keep updating you. At the moment, I see no big changes and I'm pretty disappointed.

They sent me a defective unit. The beeping that indicates that the laser has turned on and off was not working properly. I was exposed to an excessive amount of laser radiation because of this defect. It's taking over 60 business days to get my money back and still nothing. It's been 6 months. Don't buy this product.
This lamp did not work for me. I have more hair than before, unbelievable! Some are thicker than before. I called Tria Laser and I told them I did not see any reduction in hair growth, they told me to keep on using the lamp, So I followed their advice. Then I realized after month 9 or 10 that my hair was getting thicker and I was having more follicles. So, I stopped using it. I will not recommend this product to anybody. I am very disappointed with this company.

I gave this what imo is a good shot. I have pale skin, dark hair, used it just as the directions said, and I still don't think I see results. I'll use it a little longer and update if I see ANY difference in my body hair. As of right now, I say do NOT waste your hard-earned money folks.
My comments reflect those of previous reviewers. The Tria is a miracle. However, just like "dieting and exercise" are miracles to losing weight, you have to work at it to get the results you want. The treatment tip is tiny, and especially when you are first starting out with lots of dark hair, it seems to take forever and is painful. When I was doing it originally, some of the "zaps" brought tears in my eyes. Do not get discouraged! My best suggestion it to just do 10 minutes a a day, at the highest setting, (hurts more, but, you will see results faster.) My bikini line is hair free for over a YEAR now. Now, I never have to do emergency wax/shaving before visiting my fiance out of state. It's the best money I've ever spent on a beauty item - and the most lasting effects.

Several years ago I had a series of 6 professional laser treatments to my bikini line and loved the results. It brought the end of razor bumps and unsightly ingrown hairs. I was so thrilled the first time I took a vacation that required a bathing suit but no shaving! I bought the Tria to use on my armpits and to maintain my bikini. The thing is, you have to be patient! The strength is nowhere near the salon lasers so it will take longer to see results. Oh and btw, the professional lasers HURT LIKE A MOTHER!
My results: I've been using this off and on for a few years. My results could be better if I stuck with a schedule and didn't get lazy. I can go several days without shaving my armpits and even then there are not many hairs to shave away.
Cost: The cost of my office laser treatments was $700 total. And that was for one area! The cost of the Tria has come down since it was first released and now runs $395. For that you can treat as many areas as you want in the privacy of your own home. I'm trying to talk my husband into letting me use it on the back of his neck because he hates shaving his hairline.
Again please note - this is going to take commitment! You are not likely to see huge results before your warranty period is up. But if you're willing to sacrifice more immediate results you will be rewarded with more money in your wallet, less discomfort during your treatment and no limitations on how many areas you can treat.

I think it's an amazing product, I first stumbled upon it at tria hair removal. I always thought the reviews about it were a bit "under estimating" its true abilities. After I received it a 2 months ago I fell in love with it. continued >>
I have had the unit for 6 months now and have followed instructions exactly. Now after reading back all of the posts i can see that most people commented that the hair was less course. I use it on lip and chin. Same here less ..course but still there. I really don't think this is removing hair. I had real laser at a plastic surgeon office many years ago and that works. This is not something i would recommend uless..less course is enough for you. Also the time committment involved is tedious and had i gone to a clinic i would have been done with it a long time ago. Go to a clinic. Sorry, someone had to say it!
4 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love my Tria, but it hurts. I've read some reviews saying if it hurts you that "you have a low pain threshold." What biased and asinine comments. I can get tattooed (and I have many large ones) without blinking an eye, but to me, the Tria hurts.
It's all relative to the area I use it on though. Legs are a breeze, underarms and bikini area are a nightmare. I have very pale skin and black, thick hair- the kind where 3-4 hair shafts seem to be coming from the same follicle. If I wax, I bleed a lot and bruise a lot as well. Shaving use to leave me bleeding and with horrible razor burn, making me extremely prone to ingrown hairs.
Since starting my regimen, I no longer bleed when I shave or get razor burn, which makes the device worth every penny and every bit of discomfort. I notice a decrease in hair density, but it's difficult to offer a percentage or to state if it is a lasting reduction as I am only six months into an eight month term.

Extras: Cheat Mode: The Unbelievably Mind Melting Making Of Detention
"I make 40 G's a year, plus Dental. You may not have a Skittle."
Packed with post-modern, ironic tinged references, time-travel and a splash of hack n' slash, Detention is the injection of originality the horror genre has been waiting for. I first saw it last year at FrightFest and was just blown away by its strength and sheer guts to do something so different in the horror genre.
In this hipster, teen horror-comedy the students of Grizzly Lake must survive their final year of high school. Standing in their way is Cinderhella, a slasher-movie killer who has seemingly come to life and is preying on the school's student body. As the clock ticks and the bodies pile up, the likely suspects are embroiled in a race against time to stop Cinderhella and ultimately save the world... if only they can get out of detention.
Writers Mark Palermo and Joseph Kahn have created a slasher movie that rips up the genres rules for this genre and constructed a movie that is as inventive as it is clever. It bounces from scene to scene with a confidence unseen for ages. Kahn, who also directed, shows a visual style unseen in horror, bombarding the viewer with so many different editing styles it that this reminded me how inventive early MTV was, but in a very good way. No this also may lead to some fans being put off. It is such a creative piece that some may find it distracts too much from the high paced storyline. Not for me but I do feel some will just give up on it.
Shanley Caswell playing school dorky Riley is pitch perfect without overdoing the "pretty girl who is a loser""shtick whilst Josh Hutcherson plays the lead with confidence and just the right amount of cocky teenage swagger.
Detention is John Hughes meets Sam Raimi and gets better every time you view it. A true cult classic in the making.

The results may say otherwise, but Mike Price really enjoys coaching in games at Marshall.
He will bring his Texas-El Paso team to Joan C. Edwards Stadium for the second time as the Miners battle the Thundering Herd at 3 p.m. Saturday. In addition to a 2006 visit, Price also brought Weber State to town in 1987 for an NCAA Division I-AA quarterfinal at old Fairfield Stadium.
Neither game went well for Price. His Weber State team was sacked and intercepted into oblivion in a 51-23 Marshall romp, and 19 years later Ahmad Bradshaw ran roughshod over the Miners in a 49-21 thumping (see story, Page 4B).
Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, Price fondly remembers the fans from those games. Neither drew a full house (13,179 in 1987, 20,783 in 2006), but the patrons made an impression nonetheless.
"I like playing in that city because the fans care about their football," Price said Wednesday. "It means a lot to them. It's not something we can't get up for; it's not like playing in an empty stadium. There's not going to be 40,000, but the people there are fans.
"They give me and our team all kind of good suggestions on what we should be doing. If you need an idea, all you have to do is take your headsets off and listen to them, and they'll give you lots of ideas - particularly, where to put your head, something like that."
Price might need to do better Saturday - make that a lot better - to stick around in El Paso.
Price shares the "dean of coaches" title in Conference USA with Central Florida's George O'Leary (it must be re-noted that they could have faced each other as coaches of Alabama and Notre Dame). Price became an instant hit in El Paso and guided the often-woeful Miners to eight-win seasons in 2004 and 2005.
The Miners (5-3, 2-3) have suffered four straight losing seasons since, but have returned to the precipice of bowl eligibility. But with a finishing schedule of resurgent Southern Methodist, Arkansas and Tulsa, disaster seems just as close.
Especially since the Miners have just lost to Alabama-Birmingham and Tulane. Price might want to beat the Herd (1-6, 0-3) to get that sixth win and put other issues behind him.
"We just didn't get it done," Price said of the last two games. "We've had some major injuries in key positions, so that's been difficult in those two games. We haven't moved the ball as effectively as we normally do, only scored two or three touchdowns. We don't like that; we like to score more points than that.
"We've had as many injuries as I've ever had in the coaching profession."
Three UTEP captains have been hit by serious injury. Safety Braxton Amy is gone for the year with a torn Achilles tendon, wide receiver Donovan Kemp blew out his knee and 1,500-yard rusher Donald Buckram is still recovering from a torn meniscus suffered last year against Marshall.

"During his youth in Aix-en-Provence, Christophe Rousset developed a passion for the Baroque aesthetic. At the age of thirteen he decided not to study archaeology but to satisfy his keen interest in the disco-very of the past through music instead, by taking up the harpsichord. That took him to the Schola Cantorum in Paris, where he studied with Huguette Dreyfus, then to the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, to work with Bob van Asperen. At twenty-two he won the prestigious First Prize, as well as the Public Prize, in the Seventh Bruges Harpsichord Competition (1983). At Aix he also developed his love for opera and the stage by attending rehearsals at the Festival d'Art Lyrique. It was there that opera gave him his first strong emotions, which still guide him in his work today.
Christophe Rousset's performances as a harpsichordist soon attracted the attention of the international press as well as record companies. He became a member of Les Arts Florissants, then Il Seminario Musicale, before embarking on a career as a music director, which led him to form his own ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques, in 1991. Firing the ensemble with his enthusiasm as a conductor and researcher, he was soon among the front runners of Baroque, acclaimed in France and internationally. …"

EZ-Pro Softboxes
Do you wish your umbrellas had a better spread of diffused light? How about a softbox that is as easy to use as an umbrella? The Pro Studio Solutions uniquely designed softboxes are made with the travelling photographer in mind who wishes for both of these things; our EZ-Pro Softboxes have everything you love in a traditional softbox but with the ease of use and setup of an umbrella!
The umbrella-like opening mechanism within the softbox is designed for quick and easy set-ups, which means less wait time for your clients and more time that can be used to focus on other aspects of the shoot. As the center plate is pulled down the rod towards the interchangeable speedring, the connected spokes push the softbox rods out which creates the box shape, once the plate clicks into place the material will be stretched out and the softbox will be ready to use.
To open, slide softbox from the carrying bag, place the speedring against your torso and reach inside to locate the center plate. Pull the center plate towards you and the softbox will spring open fully ready to use. Attach to your light, install the optional egg crate, and your softboxes are ready for work.
All the softboxes come with two translucent diffusion panels which hook and loop fasten to the inside of the softbox to create the softest light possible. One or both of the diffusion panels can be removed to vary the softness of light to fit your photography needs.
The outside of each box is created with an opaque black surface, the rear of which hook and loop fastens over the speedring to prevent any light from spilling out; no light spill means more light for your subject.
The interior walls have a highly reflective silver lining to bounce and reflect all the light towards your subject with no spill. White interior linings will yellow over time which will tint and change the color of your lights, by using silver you are guaranteed a brilliant white light every time.
The rear of the softbox has a hook and loop fastener which closes over the interchangeable speedring to allow easy access to the bulb or speedring with out taking the softbox off the light. The thumbscrew on the speedring plate can be tightened to lock the softbox in place or loosened to allow the softbox to rotate allowing you to control the shape and direction of the light as needed.
The EZ-Pro Softboxes provide a soft, diffused, even spread of light to cover your subject. The softboxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit your shooting needs.
All of the EZ-Pro softboxes also feature a recessed front lip to allow for optional egg crates (1″ x 1″ – 50 degree) to be added on top of the front diffusion panel; shoot with egg crate and both diffusion panels, egg crate with no diffusion panels, or one of each.
Take down is a snap; simply remove the softbox from the monolight, remove the optional egg crate if installed, release the umbrella-like mechanism from the rear of the softbox (no need to take out the diffusion panels!) and put the entire folded softbox into the carrying bag – simple, quick and easy!
With the included carrying bags the EZ-Pro Softboxes are a wonderful addition for anyone who does location photography.
The EZ-Pro speedrings are interchangeable and simple to use. If you use different brand monolights for studio and location work, the interchangeable speedrings make it easy to use the same softboxes for both.
We carry interchangeable speedrings to fit almost every monolight in production. If you upgrade your monolights in the future, you won't have to worry about buying new softboxes, you can just purchase a new set of speedrings.
Ideal for:
Location Photographers
Wedding Photographers
Portrait Photographers
Studio Photographers
Easy to open, easy to close
Sets up and tears down in seconds
Double baffle diffusion
Highly reflective silver interior
Inset baffle to add optional egg crates
EZ-Pro Softboxes Include:

(Nearly) full tickless operation in 3.10
However, at the low end that I looked at, most drives get everything wrong to start with: there is too little RAM and processing power to do the reordering that would be needed for ideal NAND access patterns, the drives only do dynamic wear leveling, if any, so they break down more quickly than necessary. The way that the SD card association deals with the problem is to declare all file systems other than FAT32 (with 32KB clusters) unsupported.
What we'd instead need for these devices is indeed a way to be smarter in the host about what it's doing. The block discard a.k.a. trim logic is one example of this that sometimes works already, but is not really enough to work with dumb controllers. What I'd like to see is an abstraction on segment level, using commands like "open this segment for sequential writes", "garbage-collect this segment now", "report status of currently open segments", "how often has this segment been erased?".
Optimizing Linux with cheap flash drives
Posted Feb 19, 2011 22:40 UTC (Sat) by willy (subscriber, #9762) [Link]
The API you're suggesting makes a ton of sense for the low end devices. I don't think there's a whelk's chance in a supernova of it coming to anything, though. You'd need the SD association to require it, and I can't see it being in the interest of any of their members. When the reaction to "hey, your cards suck for this other filesystem" is "your filesystem is wrong", I can't see them being enthusiastic about something this radical.
I do see that Intel are members. I'll try to find out internally if something like this could fly.
Posted Feb 20, 2011 3:25 UTC (Sun) by Oddscurity (guest, #46851) [Link]
Or would that be the wrong conclusion?
Not that it's all I took away from this great article, but I'm wondering what I can do in the meantime to optimise my use with such devices.
Posted Feb 20, 2011 4:07 UTC (Sun) by ewen (subscriber, #4772) [Link]
It appears if you want to run ext3 on a cheap flash drive, you pretty much have to assume that it's going to be slower than advertised (possibly MUCH slower, especially for write), and that there's a very real risk of wearing out some areas of the flash faster than might be expected. Probably okay for a mostly-read workload if you ensure that you turn off atime completely (or every read is also a write!), but not ideal for something with regular writes.
If it's an option for your use case, then sticking with the original FAT file system -- and using it natively -- is probably the least bad option. Certainly that's what I do with all my portable drives that see any kind of regular updates. (It also has the benefit that I don't have to worry about drivers for the file system on any system I might plug it into.)
Posted Feb 20, 2011 14:11 UTC (Sun) by Oddscurity (guest, #46851) [Link]
I may as well switch to just FAT32 for part of the use cases and the other ones are dominated by reads, so can stay on ext.

Beautiful dress for a beach wedding
I had looked all over for a dress for my beach wedding in Mexico. I wanted something that looked special, but was not over the top with sparkles and so on. Also I wanted something that would not be too hot, plus my husband was dressing casually, so I felt it was important that we looked good together.
I saw this dress in the catalog and thought I should try it. Halter necks do not suit me so I was not sure it would be 'the dress'. However when I tried it on I fell in love with the skirt, I love the way it flows. I found the waistband and bodice also suited by body shape really well and was very flattering.
This dress is only available in size 14 plus and I am little smaller than a 14, probably a 12. But I loved it so much I decided I had to have it and get it altered. It turned out the halter did not suit me, so I actually had it altered to a sweetheart. I also added a flower to the waistband which coordinated with my bridesmaids.
On the day it looked perfect and really suited our beach wedding!

dress fit my short frame, large chest (38DDD)
June 3, 2013
Get it you will love it
I loved everything about this dress. I had tried on 2 others after this one and this one felt so light and airy compared to others. I put it back on again and I knew I had to get it. I loved the halter top and just the way I felt in it. I am 6' tall and I ordered mine with extra length and had it hemmed. I got it in white as I felt it would look great for the beach. The alterations lady loved it and said she's only seen it in ivory and loved the white. I am 36 years old and it was perfect for me and I didn't feel too old to be wearing it. We had a beach wedding in the bahamas and it is so much better than I imagined. It looks like it belongs on a beach. If you are on the fence get it you won't regret it. I want to get married again, just so I have an excuse to wear it some more
May 20, 2013
Both my sister and I had cut this dress out of bridal magazines, but I wasn't really jazzed about the halter top. That's until I tried it on. When I put this dress on, I cried; I knew it was the one. I wanted a sweetheart neckline, and this dress was perfect. I wore it with a pink sash around the middle.

Japan / Emergency Grant Aid for Sudanese Refugees Fled to the Republic of South Sudan
TOKYO, Japan, July 13, 2012/African Press Organization (APO)/ — On Friday, July 13, the Government of Japan decided to contribute 2.04 million US dollars in emergency grant aid in order to support Sudanese refugees that fled to South Sudan due to the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the southern part of Sudan.
The increase of refugees has deteriorated living conditions in hygiene and other sectors in the refugee camps and scaled up the needs for humanitarian assistance.
The Government of Japan will provide assistance in sectors of healthcare, water and hygiene as soon as possible in coordination with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

(Nearly) full tickless operation in 3.10
> Expose the sensor to light. For each pixel, measure the time in > milliseconds until the pixel is fully saturated
There's quite a bit of research currently in progress to develop cameras that do just that (Google for "Address Event Representation Camera") - I remember a couple of my engineering friends did their honours thesis on the topic.
AFAIK, the technology is better than regular CMOS imagers in terms of power consumption, but tends to have a lower resolution and dynamic range - good for embedded devices, not so good for photography. Also since the time available for each frame needs to be bounded, you tend to get a lot of pixels 'squashed' against either the upper or lower bound of the intensity range.

Photographer turns dreams into surreal photos
If you think your dreams are out of this world, check out conceptual photographer Ronen Goldman's work. The photographer, who lives in Tel Aviv, has been recreating his mesmerizing and haunting dream fragments in a six-year series called The "Surrealistic Pillow" Project. About the inspiration behind the series, he says, "I try and conjure up an image that corresponds with that dream and create the scene in my mind. Once that whole process is done, I switch on the photographer brain and start to try and figure out how I can technically execute the idea." Check out his blog for more behind-the-scenes action, and inspiration for his photos. Goldman's work has been prominently featured on CNN, Huffington Post and Reddit.

Working with Mac OS X

in Computer, English only, Linux/Unix, Privat, Thoughts
Ok. It's about 12h since I am working with Mac OS X and I am more or less getting used to it. There are some things that are not (yet) working as I like them to work, but I think I will get this figured out as well.I've tried out a bunch of software, but I think that I finally found the configuration that works best for me:
- Browser: Safari (with some plugins from www.pimpmysafari.org)
- Mail: Apple's Mail.app (with GPGMail)
- Calendar Application: Apple's iCal.app (with SpanningSync to sync my Google Calendar)
- IRC/IM: Colloquy, Skype, PSI
- Audio-Player: Cog
- Terminal: iTerm with zsh/screen
- Mobile sync: PocketMac
- Office stuff: iWork '08
- Programming: vim

That's all I need for efficient working and I have to admit, that on Mac OS X you can work very efficient. All in all I am very pleased with my new toy (especially the battery duration is awesome: >5 hours while working as usual).

Ten Reasons Parents Should Read Multicultural Books to KidsBy Meera SriramTen Reasons Parents Should Read Multicultural Books to Kids/ © Renata Osinska - Fotolia.comI was in the children's section of a big, chain bookstore last week. I ambled around browsing picture book covers and flipping through the ones that were colorful or artistic. At first, I didn't notice anything strange—there were many books on vehicles and animals; there were the seasonal ones (spring and summer themed books) and the timeless classics like "Goodnight Moon" and "Where the Wild Things Are." There were also bestsellers and new releases, which were mostly sequels to hits like the "Ladybug Girl" and "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" series. I love these books. Then I turned around and saw a couple of Indian-Americans browsing books. A woman in a hijab, with a Starbucks in hand, watched her son play at the train table. I heard a distant chatter in, what I thought was, Mandarin. Yet none of the books on display mirrored this heterogeneity around me. I stood there and wished books for children were much more eclectic and flavorful. I wished more books had stories in which I saw someone like the woman at the train table. Most of all, I wished these books were mainstream—powerful, influential and easily accessible. Why? Given recent discussions around the New York Times article, "How to Read Racist Books to Kids," it became even more important to me to analyze what it is that we've come to accept as mainstream in children's literature today. What should our kids be reading instead? What are the big bookstores really missing? 1. It is important that books reflect the diversity that exists in societies today. A book that includes people of different ethnicities presents a more realistic picture to a child. Even board boards can achieve this. "Babies" by Gyo Fujikawa is a great example. Published in the sixties, it was the first children's book to show infants of different races. 2. Understanding cultures enhances the understanding of experiences of those we interact with. This helps children develop empathy towards peers, nurturing meaningful relationships in classrooms and playgrounds. I love the book "My Friend Mei Jing" by Anna McQuinn, which celebrates a cross-cultural friendship between school-going girls, Mei Jing and Monifa. 3. A language (or linguistic diversity) is a tangible form of realizing cultural differences. Picture book stories set in a cultural backdrop often scatter words in the affiliated language. This is both fun and fascinating for kids. Bilingual books are also a wonderful way to introduce and experience languages. 4. Books that take us back to our cultural roots are always valuable. These books open up discussions about family ancestry and heritage. They also help children identify family traditions and find answers to why they eat specific foods or dress a certain way. "The Keeping Quilt" by Patricia Polacco is a heartwarming story spanning several generations and traditions—it dates back to the author's great-grandmother's initial immigrant days (from Eastern Europe) in America. 5. Loaded with cultural nuances, multicultural literature often comes with geographical and historical details as well. Besides being informative, it also heightens a child's global awareness. I am reminded of Amadi, in the book "Amadi's Snowman" by Katia Novet-Saint-Lot. The Nigerian village boy is intrigued by the picture of a "strange-looking man" (a snowman!) he chances upon in a book. This actually makes him want (to learn) to read! 6. Mainstream books, sadly, have a tendency to stereotype. The media is notorious for its clichéd portrayals, like the skewed images of Africa or the Middle East. Children's literature in no exception. Multicultural books dispel misconceptions and break stereotypes associated with a specific culture. 7. It is natural for us to try to relate to a character or story as part of the reading experience or to assert our own identities. This becomes particularly important for children of immigrant, biracial and bicultural parents. Multicultural choices include their unique experiences and address unique challenges they face. Pooja Makhijani's "Mama's Saris" has been a favorite at our home for several years now. My daughter and I easily identify with the context—a seven-year-old Indian-American girl delights in her mom's collection of colorful ethnic wear, a common scenario in our own house! 8. "Multicultural" often encompasses stories focusing on divergent themes that step outside the dominant social and cultural structure. These include issues like adoption, racism, divorce, war, sexual orientation and gender stereotyping, to name a few. The anti-bias approach of these books better represents the community we are part of, with its differences stretching even beyond cultures and skin colors. 9. Not all of us can travel wherever we like, whenever we want. But books can take us to faraway place while still in the comfort of our home. Publishers like Hartlyn Kids and Itchee Feet offer books that provide this enriching experience for children. 10. Ultimately, books that open up the world are essential for a child's well-balanced reading diet. When children grow up exposed to diverse cultures, people and places, they become much more open to exploring broader possibilities in careers, relationships and decision-making as parents or leaders. Without ignorance and prejudices inhibiting them, they can be prepared for wherever life takes them and whatever life brings. ————————————————————————– © 2012 – 2013, Meera Sriram.

Definition of 'Notary'Also called a "notary public," this state-appointed official witnesses important document signings and verifies the identities of the signers to help deter fraud and identity theft. A notarized document will contain the seal and signature of the notary who witnessed the signing and will have more legal weight than a document that is not notarized. Document signings where consumers are likely to need the services of a notary include real estate deeds, affidavits, wills, trusts and powers of attorney. |
Investopedia explains 'Notary'Becoming a notary can make a person a more attractive job candidate for certain positions and/or provide a valuable source of side income. The required training is fairly minimal and inexpensive; requirements vary by state, but may involve taking a course and/or exam. |

Ready Set Healthy... Day 21
Just a quickie here. I'm still at Lake Tahoe for my work retreat. I got my Tribest travel blender, makes a GREAT blender/grinder/etc., wrote a glowing review. This thing is fabulous. Makes traveling and raw food soooo easy.
I have had some non-raw food (no meat though) mixed in with my green smoothies and juice and usual salads. I'm feeling the water out for my stomach... but it's soooo cool that I have had a decent amount of cheese, a glass of wine and a beer and other non-raw things and I'm still feeling pretty good (not quite as good as usual)... still having BMs, having a not-too-bad period, no stomach ache.
I'll be going back to the usual way of eating when I get back, but I'm really finding that destressing and really not being too hard on myself affects the way I feel more than or at least as much the food I eat.
I want it all!
And I'm on my way.
All right, signing out, planning on going snowshoeing in a little while. Might go find a great place for a haircut. :)

The Casino Business
By Alex Granados and Frank Stasio
Gambling is big business in Western North Carolina. A new report by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shows that Harrah's Cherokee Casino pours more than $380 million into the local economy there. That has led to improvements in life expectancy, poverty rates and even education in the area.

Philosophy for the Young: Corrupting or Empowering?
Socrates was executed for corrupting the youth. In America, youth below college age are usually not exposed to philosophy in the classroom. Is philosophy all that dangerous? Should it be taught to teenagers? Or would this lead to a generation of self-absorbed and skeptical young people, shirking their duties in order to worry about the meaning of life? Ken and John are joined by Jack Bowen, author of The Dream Weaver and If You Can Read This: The Philosophy of Bumper Stickers, for a program recorded with a live audience of young philosophers at Palo Alto High School.

Quality fundamental to EUROPART Trading
Hanover: The 'EUROPART Systemzentrale Werkstattkonzepte' section of EUROPART, leading European supplier of spare parts for trucks and buses, has been certified by TÜV NORD CERT for the first time according to DIN EN ISO 9001. This standard describes the overall quality management system of an organisation and forms the basis for competence and capability. Wolfgang Wielpütz, a member of the management team of TÜV NORD CERT, presented the certificate to Alexander Pederzani, CEO of EUROPART Trading GmbH, during the IAA Commercial Vehicles trade fair in Hanover. In future, all EUROPART system workshops are also to be regularly audited by TÜV NORD, so that binding quality standards can be observed to the benefit of EUROPART customers.
In the pilot project, now concluded by issue of the certificate, 'EUROPART Systemzentrale Werkstattkonzepte' and also partner workshops 'Wischmann Metall- und Fahrzeugbau' and 'Truckservice Hallenberg' were assessed and awarded the certificate by TÜV NORD CERT. The aim is that the 200 or so partner workshops should also be certified in future with regard to their quality management.
With over 1500 employees and around 170 retail outlets, EUROPART Trading GmbH is Number One when it comes to components and garage equipment for commercial vehicles. The company, based in Hagen-Haspe, has been serving vehicle workshops, forwarding agents and haulage companies having their own servicing facilities, public services with utility vehicle fleets and industrial companies for more than 60 years now.
EUROPART offers various different workshop concepts for utility and commercial vehicles. Within the framework of the quality initiative in the TruckSTATION workshop network, certification by TÜV NORD CERT has demonstrated achievement of a quality standard recognised by a neutral, independent and competent third party.
As Wolfgang Wielpütz, Member of the Management Board at TÜV NORD CERT explains: "Certification is also worthwhile for the partner workshops of EUROPART Trading. The DIN ISO 9001 standard offers a guide for better organisation of internal processes and improved overall performance for the customer. In addition, certification means that independent and smaller workshops operating under the system can continue to develop in a positive way. The precise overview of internal procedures and knowledge of their own strengths and weaknesses, in combination with a powerful overall workshop system, makes it easier for workshops to plan for the future and to act fast in times of crisis. We at TÜV NORD CERT are very pleased to be able to play our part in this ....."

Alright so I love my husband, working and I love working out, but I've since we've gotten back from the wedding (sorry have to bring it up again) I've been wiped! I'm having a hard time getting back into my rhythm.
Maybe I'm sick (gasp), and in denial. Definitely have been there before. Maybe it's because we came back from the wedding, and only took one day before working again. Maybe it's the grey, wet and colder weather? Over training? In any case I'm trying to be patient and let myself catch up to myself. However, this is a very difficult concept for me (ask my husband).
To battle this malaise (that's what I'm calling it for now) I decided to bake Pumpkin Oat squares from Bake Your Day for a healthy comforting pick me up snack for work. These bars are delicious, and I only made small changes because of the ingredients I had on hand. Maybe I'll make this pumpkin month since my husband's very sweet co worker gave me more pumpkin recipes!
I also kept the ingredients out, and made an overnight pumpkin spice oatmeal with protein powder. I will post that recipe soon.
Pumpkin Oat Squares with Cinnamon Glaze
2 cups whole oats
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup pureed pumpkin
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup applesauce
3 Tbs. agave
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tsp almond milk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 Tsp vanilla extract
1/4 Tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. Grease or spray 8 X 8 baking dish.
In large bowl combine dry ingredients: oats, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt. Set aside. Combine wet ingredients: applesauce, vanilla, pumpkin, agave and brown sugar. Mix well. Gently stir the wet ingredients with the dry until well mixed.
Pour mixture into baking dish and press. Bake for 40-45 minutes. While baking you can stir the ingredients for the glaze. After removing the dish from the oven, drizzle the glaze on top. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
