'Oh Hell, I'm Not A Gymnast. I Can't Do That!' Tia Mowry Talks Brown-Girl Yoga, Getting Her Body Back, And Being An Auntie
We grew up adoring cuties Tia and Tamera Mowry with their fun '90s style and sisterly antics on the hit comedy, Sister, Sister. And now, they've invited us on their journey through motherhood with their new lifestyle site, TiaAndTameraOfficial.com, which is just as popular as their hit reality TV show, Tia & Tamera on Style. They've created an interactive community to reach out directly to their fans, as they share lifestyle tips, beauty and fashion picks, and of course photos of those adorable babies, Cree and Aden!
We recently got to chat with Tia, and she is one busy mama! She filled us in about her new yoga DVD series, Calm Yoga and Core Yoga with Tara Stiles, and tips on how the fit mom keeps herself looking so great post- baby. Of course, she dished on her "twindividual style" and that super sweet pixie cut we love.

At the heart of this machine is the powerful and responsive Genesis 4-stroke engine, cocooned in a light, yet strong pyramid chassis. Poise and agility is assured by the asymetric crossover suspension up front - which makes sure the wide floatation skis go smoothly where they're pointed - while its phenomenal grip on the snow is down to the rear suspension, with its lean, mean skid wrapped in an aggressive crossover track.
So strike now - and enjoy the back country!

A week ago today, I woke up to a fairer, more accepting and a more equal Ireland. The Marriage Referendum has been hot topic this year, debates have been exhausted, people's lives dissected in front of us, the ins and outs of parenting thrashed out. The bottom line? It passed. Not only did it pass, but we saw a surge of turnout, particularly with young people. Ordinary Joe-Soaps with no defined political backgrounds came out in force to campaign. Our little island is the first country to vote in favour of same-sex marriage in a democratic majority. After everything has been said and done, there is a lot to be proud about.
I have noticed though, the people I connect with regularly on social media and other bloggers themselves have been relatively quiet on all of this. Are they afraid? Who knows - but all I can put forward are my own views. I could have come here and spat out facts and figures, but I decided against it and instead to keep it simple.
You don't have to be a member of the LGBT community to recognise how much it means to them. If you saw some of the images and clips from last Saturday you can see yourself this handing-over of a basic human right we are all entitled to, means everything. Their smiles and joy were infectious and collectively, it showed that if we all rally together - there are no boundaries to what can be achieved.
Why do I care so much? I care about rights, I care about the people around me reaching the ultimate capacity of happiness, I care about same-sex couples I know myself and their children being protected, I care about my loved-ones no longer feeling inadequate, I care about people.
The one thing that got to me over the last few months when I sat around and thought about it was, as a straight young woman - as soon as I turned 18 in July, I could technically get married to any young fella that gave a second glance. (The chances of this actually happening is fairly minute, I think we would all agree).This is purely down to the fact that I would have had more rights. It made me sick, to think I was more entitled than some of the people I know. It didn't sit well with me at all. But as we can all see now, times are (finally) changing, the divisions are dispersing, and all the while embracing love as we know it in a unified movement.
I have a feeling, that this is only the beginning. I believe that this referendum has brought a litany of people and communities together, stronger. Can you see how much can be got out and sought when we co-operate with one another? There are many other minority groups that need a helping hand right now, and if we can do what we did on May 22nd, who knows how many more lives can be improved? The sky is the limit, and the souls that have been ignited for a greater cause should not be put out just yet.

Hot Buttered Post is your daily guide to can't-miss events and the headlines you need to start your Olympic day
While you were sleeping: Someone skated to 'Wonderwall' at the Olympics
Hot Buttered Post is your daily guide to can't-miss events and the headlines you need to start your Olympic day. All times ET.
While you were sleeping
Christie Blatchford weighed in on the CAS denying banned Russians entry to the Olympics: "It was always a curious appeal, one described by Canada's Dick Pound this week as akin to an argument about whether one actually can have an entitlement, a right, to be invited to dinner."
The Norwegian team apparently made a fatal error when trying to use Google Translate in their meal planning ahead of the Pyeongchang Olympics. They needed 1,500 eggs and asked a local store. However, it turns out they accidentally requested … 15,000 eggs. For everyone doing the math at home, they now have 13,500 more eggs than planned.
"Fortunately, we could return most of the order, but we were quite surprised when they carried the eggs up to us. There was no end to the delivery. Absolutely unbelievable," said Chef Ståle Johansen to NTB, the Norwegian news agency, via the Daily Mail.
German figure skater Paul Fentz decided to take advantage of a new rule that lets competitors use songs with lyrics, going with "Wonderwall" by Oasis in the men's team event. Except this wasn't the Oasis version. It was sung by Paul Anka. Even though he fell twice, everyone can't stop talking about his music choice. Paul Fentz, revolutionary.
Can't-miss events
Curling, mixed doubles: Canada vs. Switzerland
7 p.m. (Sportsnet)
This could be Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris' toughest match of the round robin. The Swiss duo, Jenny Perret and Martin Rios, are the defending world champions.
Snowboard: Men's slopestyle qualifying
7:55 p.m. (TSN 1,4,5); 10:55 p.m. (TSN 1,3,4,5)
Four years ago in Sochi, Mark McMorris won slopestyle bronze despite breaking a rib less than two weeks before the Olympics. He's back in Pyeongchang to try to match or better that feat — despite breaking 17 bones in a backcountry crash that nearly killed him last March.
Photo of the day
At nationalpost.com
Catch up on our coverage from the opening ceremony, if you weren't able to wake up in time for the big show. It's one of the coldest Olympics on record and the stadium is open air, so expect to see a lot of freezing athletes. Except for the Americans, who have heaters built into their jackets.
Scott Stinson was with the great Mikael Kingsbury at the moguls, where he is looking for his first gold medal. He's off to an impressive start, with the highest score of the day in the first qualifiers of the men's moguls competition.
Dan Barnes was at the figure skating team event, where Canada got off to a rough start after Patrick Chan fell twice in the men's short program. Not to worry, though. Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford picked up enough placement points to vault Canada into top spot and finished second in the pairs short. "Yaaaaayy, that was the plan," Duhamel said after their program.
Women and dance teams skate their short programs Sunday, the field is then cut to five teams, and medals are awarded after the four long program performances.

I'm afraid I don't understand the math that legislators in Missouri and Kansas are using when they refuse to expand Medicaid.
The taxes the Feds impose to pay for Medicaid expansion don't go away if a state refuses to expand. Missouri's and Kansas' tax dollars are simply going to fund the states that did expand Medicaid. The federal government in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, said it would pay 100 percent of Medicaid expansion until 2016 and then still pay 90 percent of the expansion.
The Kaiser Family Foundation calculated that Kansas is forgoing about $5 billion of federal funds over the next 10 years by refusing to expand Medicaid. Missouri is giving up almost $18 billion.
But, the losses don't stop there. Part of the way that Obamacare controls costs is with incentives to hospitals to reduce re-admissions. But fewer admissions mean less money for hospitals.
That money was expected to be made up by the increased payments by Medicaid. One Topeka hospital says that failing to expand Medicaid is already costing it $10 million per year. Truman Medical Center estimates it will lose $150 million in the next seven years without Medicaid expansion.
The Kaiser Family Foundation says that Kansas and Missouri are voluntarily giving up $2.5 billion and $7.5 billion over the next 10 years. These direct costs to Kansas and Missouri don't include the human costs of continuing to have hundreds of thousands of uninsured people who could be covered by Medicaid.
When these people do seek care, it is often at the state's expense through the uncompensated care funds. Add a few hundred million dollars to the bill to Kansas and Missouri.
But, the uninsured uniformly also have worse health outcomes than those with insurance, so we can expect that tens of thousands of people will go without needed care. A study published in Health Affairs in January, for example estimated that more than 6,000 Kansans would forgo diabetes medications.
From 100 to 300 people a year would die from this and other conditions that go untreated for lack of Medicaid coverage. The numbers for Missouri are about double that.
The Aon Hewitt study that Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback commissioned said Medicaid expansion would cost about $600 million over the next 10 years. The study calculated $1.1 billion in additional spending over the next 10 years minus the $500 million that Kansas would have to spend on "woodwork" Medicaid recipients whether it expands Medicaid or not.
That $600 million figure is similar to what other studies have said, (Kaiser Family Foundation — $525 million, Kansas Health Institute — $519 million). For Missouri, Kaiser Family Foundation estimates $1.5 billion for the next 10 years. So, Kansas is balking at $600 million and Missouri at $1.5 billion over 10 years that could pay a return of $7.5 billion and $25.5 billion?
Could someone please explain the sense in this?

Had trouble making a buck for your nest egg this year? Well, you`ve got plenty of company.
Even professional money managers across South Florida are finding it difficult to make money this year. After last year`s fat double-digit gains, many are eking out modest increases and are happy not to be in the hole.
``It has been a tough year to make any money for clients, and I suspect it`ll continue that way for a while,`` said Tom Keresey in Palm Beach.
All totaled, the half-dozen independent money pros interviewed manage about three-quarters of a billion dollars for institutions and individuals. So what do these managers of the big bucks think?
Their views are as varied as their strategies.
Most are concerned about the sluggish economic recovery, the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election and the generally high level of stock prices. Such things don`t make a big difference in the basic investment plans of some managers who remain nearly fully invested. Others are in a defensive posture with large cash and bond positions.
Some believe in market timing while others eschew it. Some make risky bets in volatile markets, some are conservative. Some remain bullish, while others are definitely cautious.
Each works a different angle. Thomas Herzfeld in Miami trades closed-end funds, for example, while Hector Megy of Palm Beach specializes in Latin American stocks. Carl Domino in West Palm Beach favors stocks with high dividend yields. Bob James in Boca Raton switches in and out of mutual funds.
There are money managers galore in South Florida, most associated with bank trust departments and other large companies. This is a look at a few independent managers who have their own firms, how they manage money and their outlook on the stock market.

|9,687 sq. ft.

|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
This property is professionally managed by Ivy Lettings, specialists in central London vacation rentals since 2009. Here's a video of reviews from some of our clients: https://vimeo.com/90745841
This comfortable apartment is set within the regal architecture, elegant parks and lines of terraced stucco-fronted houses of Pimlico. Welcome to Sutherland Street, a charming home from home found just a short walk from Sloane Square. Ivy Lettings highly recommends this London vacation rental to families and groups.
Living & Eating
The cosy living room is the perfect spot for relaxation after a long day in the city, complete with comfortable sofa and arm chairs, and a decorative fireplace. The bright kitchen is fully equipped for the chef of the party to whip up dinners at home, with dining to seat four..
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The master bedroom is spacious with a UK king size bed (5ft wide) and dressing table. The second bedroom offers twin singles. The family bathroom is comprehensively fitted, with a shower over bath, washbasin and WC.
Access & Layout
This apartment is on the top floor of the building, the fourth floor. There is an elevator, but please note there is a small flight of stairs in the entrance hall which leads to the elevator. The apartment itself is set across one floor.
On Your Doorstep
Sutherland Street is just a 15 minute walk from Sloane Square tube station, and 8 minutes from Pimlico tube.
My name is Guy and and I, along with my small dedicated team based in Chelsea, London, manage a collection of handpicked London homes.
We've been doing this since 2009 and have accommodated many thousands of happy guests in my portfolio of 120+ central London houses and apartments.
We promise that our team will act in a friendly and professional manner towards you at all times, and will be on hand to deal with any queries and comments.
We will ensure all our properties, while varied and characterful, will be professionally cleaned prior to your stay, and furnished to a high standard throughout.
Guy van der Westhuizen purchased this apartment in 2012
- super-fast enquiry response time, 7 days a week
- personal check in during business hours
- professional cleaning and home preparation by our team of dedicated housekeepers
- 5* hotel standard linen and towels and sundries
- 7 day/week maintenance support
Had a good stay. Meet expectations.
My family (teenage niece, teenage son, teenage daughter and me) enjoyed our stay in Flat J. The directions to acquire the keys were spot on, and the directions to the flat were also perfect.
The flat is well appointed and exactly the right size for four or fewer. It would have been nice to have more blankets, but once we figured out the heat it was fine. Although there was a fireplace and the booklet explained how to use it, it didn't work for us. The dishwasher, microwave, top oven and washing machine all worked as expected, but we had to dry out clothing with two full cycles to get them dry.
We cooked fairly often, but we're limited by the utensils (no ladle or large pans).
The bathroom was very nice, but the short glass door caused a bit more water to hit the floor than would have been ideal.
There was ample closet space in each room. . We were surprised that there wasn't an entry closet or mat for wet shoes, coats and umbrellas.
Having wifi was amazing as we were able to share photos and connect with friends and family.
All in all - it was comfortable and a great home away from home for the week. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends traveling to London on holiday!!
I rented this flat for myself, my husband and two teenage daughters. Here's my pros and cons:
1. Booking was easy and I had good communication from Ivy Lettings about check-in.
2. Very clean except living room carpet which was stained and dirty
3. Great kitchen! New and updated.
4. Bathroom is also new and updated.
5. Master bedroom is roomy, has ample storage space and the bed is comfortable.
6. Good location, easy access to grocery stores and attractions.
7. Neighborhood felt safe.
8. To get around, we used a combination of cabs, the tube and Uber. Uber is highly available in London!
1. We were there during a heat wave, and like most London flats, there was no air conditioning. The ONE fan we had for the flat was missing the front screen, making it dangerous. Our phone call and e-mail request for additional fans went unanswered. After our third request for more fans, they sent someone with a new fan who explained that Ivy Lettings was overwhelmed with requests for fans. This occurred on the third or fourth day of our five day stay. Why don't they already have fans available in every flat? This is a noisy part of the city, so sleeping with the windows open was a problem and we were pretty miserable .
2. Also heat related; the cleaning crew only left us with a heavy down coverlet for the bed, nothing else. There should be light blankets available.
3. There were at least 7 buildings in the neighborhood under construction and the noise is deafening and starts early. ASK ABOUT LOCAL CONSTRUCTION BEFORE BOOKING.
4. I was sent two different addresses about the flat and confusing information about the key pick-up location.
5. Bedroom with twin beds is rather small and cramped.
I should have questioned further the use of the lift. When we got there we were told it was 'iffy'...someone had recently gotten stuck in it. Luckily the cleaning staff helped us with our luggage up to the 3 sets of steps. All 3 of us, climbed those stairs everyday...but by the end of the stay, we chanced the lift...two of us are closing in on 70. The flat was very nice. When we got there a little early, the previous guests had just left and the place was a mess, but the cleaning staff came in and did an awesome job. Our only complaint was the lack of sufficient toilet paper...which we had to buy ourselves. I would recommend this flat to others, if the lift was guaranteed to be operational.
My family (husband, myself, and 13 yr old son) stayed here for a week. We prefer having a separate room for our son, and with the prices of hotel rooms so high (for tiny rooms), we decided to try renting a flat. This place looked great, but at the time didn't have any reviews. The management company had many positive reviews, so we decided to go for it. And we're glad we did!
The flat was very spacious. The smaller bedroom would probably feel a bit cramped with two people in it, but for just one person it was fine. And the larger room was quite roomy. The living room was also large, but the couches weren't great. One was rock hard and the other very squishy. The kitchen was of a good size, but all we did was use the toaster for breakfast. One of the selling points of this unit was the (separate) washer & dryer. They are a bit on the small size and a wash takes anywhere from 1 hr to 2.5 hrs.
We had no problems with toiletries. There were paper towels, toilet paper, and soap in the kitchen. I prefer liquid soap, so I bought a bottle for the bathroom that I left. We also bought some napkins that we left. There were 2 or 3 dishwashing tablets. I think there may have been washing machine tablets as well, but we had brought our own Tide Pods to use.
One thing we didn't like was the shower. This might be a European v. American thing. But the shower only had a half glass door over the tub. If you used the shower standing up, it had a tendency to spray out onto the floor. And with nothing to keep the warmth and moisture in, the rest of the bathroom got steamy while it got cold in the shower itself.
The location was great for using public transportation. It was about a 10 minute walk to Pimlico (less than 15 minutes to Victoria Station) and from there rarely more than 20 minutes to any place we wanted to visit. There were also plenty of shops (Tesco Express, Gregg's, pizza, Indian) within a few minutes walk.
We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to London. Ivy Lettings was great to work with. We were able to drop our bags off early on arrival day. The day before departure, we got stranded in Paris (we went for the day and the ferry workers shut down the Tunnel, cancelling our return). We had to fly back to London and didn't get back to the flat to check out until almost noon. I contacted Ivy Lettings early that morning, and they told us not to worry about it, that we could check out a little later. Wonderful customer service.
Lovely clean apartment in quiet block. Area was close to Victoria and Pimlico stations but you could still walk to a lot of attractions and nice restaurants. Lovely quiet area away from the busy areas of London. Great communication with lovely staff at Ivy Lettings and would definately recommend this company and book through them again.
Local amenities such as grocery stores and ATMs are close by, as well as a diverse array of restaurants and cafes. Chimes offers hearty English food in a cosy and delightful setting, or perhaps try Goya a lively Spanish Tapas bar. Grumbles on Churchton Street is another favourite, serving yummy food in an informal bistro setting. Whatever your mood you'll find it nearby. There is a fantastic Farmer's market in Orange Square on Saturday mornings- great to gather supplies for a picnic or for a home cooked feast.
You can pop down to the riverfront, and take in the splendid views of the bridges stretching across the Great River Thames. Riverboat services to Waterloo and Southwark run from Millbank Millennium Pier - these run as water-taxis but are a great way to see the city from another angle as you travel. Don't forget you are close to the theatres and high-end fashion of Knightsbridge and Chelsea, so you will never be at a loss of what to do during your trip.

I finally did it! I went up to Target, blew some money on a couple extra folding tables, and moved my formerly cramped and completely disorganized working space from the dining room (where I was crushed in between the fish tank and a wall) to the living room.
I've got a little more space to spread out without having to worry about burying the dining room table for days or weeks at a time. I can write, take my photos, print things out without having to dig for the printer, and get to my files and beads much easier!
I promised Tom that I would keep the chaos to a minimum, since it is still our living room, after all.
Now I am just patiently waiting for the batteries to charge so I can play with the new camera... Macro lens, here I come!
But first, I smell a poopy diaper that needs changing... Where's that kid o mine?

Fire Emblem: the Sacred Stones Draft Run the First!
Well, I'd say those three criticals just made your turncount for the first chapter unbeatable.
Well, at least a Soldier didn't wait until the last second to screw you over
Ouch. This is why I thought maybe Seth should be free for the first couple.
Um, uh, I think you need to add another 4 turns. Undrafted units (Moulder) can't visit villages.
Don't forget that ideally, the nondrafted units shouldn't be getting hit at all. Although it IS pretty hard to avoid this before you get access to the battle preperation screen.
Please ignore my above comment, I have no reading comprehension and somehow thought this chapter took 22 turns. I don't know. Eight is actually pretty good.
I say as long as you aren't actively baiting enemies or hiding behind undrafted units, then it's okay. It just happens.
Yeah, yeah. These first few chapters are gonna be hell on me, that much I can say.
And I somehow missed that bit about the villages. Wonderful. Welp, I'll add those 4 turns, then.
Don't worry, I just intentionally took a +4 penalty that you probably won't have to if you leave a drafted character in range of one of chapter 9's pirates for a few turns, or if you don't care about an extra Rapier.
There's no such thing as too much depth, if Alfric's Encyclopedia is anything to go by. I'm actually not going into enough depth, especially compared to Blazing Sword.
Even so, the play-by-play was a little dull. When I can make use of strategies beyond "Erika moves in and attacks, then counters on the Enemy Phase, then attacks again" I'll expand a bit more.
I KNOW you're gonna be happy when you finally get Lute.
I just realized that with just Eirika and Lute, it'd be better to wait for the split in order to fetch a Guiding Ring because getting Chapter 5's early one will be a little nightmare...
You'll get one pretty early into Eirika's route, Pablo has it in Chapter 10, so Lute may not even be at a level you'd want to promote her at by the time you get it. On the other side, it comes at the halfway point of Ephraim's from an easily killable Shaman. That chapter also just happens to be absolutely swarming with enemies, sadly.

DIY: Men's Shirt into Women's Dress
One of the top trends at this recent set of fashion weeks was embroidered garments. Top fashion labels like Gucci and Chanel to name a few introduced their spring 2017 collections all showcasing intricate embroidery on their designs. Although this technique has been around for centuries. It's a great update to boring clothing and accessories and lucky for you I know some tips and tricks to help you create your own machine embroidery successfully. Sulky has been in the embroidery business for years and has created all the right products and tools needed to master this skill. Yes, machine embroidery is a skill, it takes the right thread, stabilizers, needles, etc. If you don't have the proper supplies it will frustrating and unsuccessful. Free motion is another one that I will address because most don't own an embroidery machine or module.
I love a good men's shirt refashion/upcycle and thought what a great piece to embroider and use as a New Years dress or overcoat. I chose to do a New Years theme and although floral is a top pattern and has great results, I wanted something different. When I think of New Years I think fireworks and metallics. Sulky threads are my go to and work perfectly with my Bernina machine. I use their Sulky Rayon Embroidery Thread. It's made from the highest quality raw goods in the world so you will not have problems with thread breaking, unraveling, or deteriorating. They create a smooth, shiny finish. Another favorite is their metallics. If you are going to embroider with metallic thread it needs to be high quality or it will continue to break and I've even had needles break on me…yikes. Sulky has wonderful metallics threads that run smoothly into my machine. I'd also suggest metallic needles, they have a bigger eye and it helps with less breakage.
Another supply you must use for embroidery, free motion, and hand embroidery is stabilizers. Sulky stabilizers meet all your needs for toppings and backings, creative machine arts, embroidery, sewing, quilting and crafting. They also have easy instructions. My favorite to use is their Sticky plus. I basically just cut it to measure and stick it straight onto the fabric with the adhesive side down. I need to work efficiently when I have little ones.
For the firework pattern I used Embroidery Online's Radiant Celebrations by Lyn Dillin. I then added some free motion in the mix.
Supplies: Sulky's Stick Plus, a mix of sulky threads metallics gold and silver, and blues.
Continue for tutorial below:
Mark out where you want the embroidery to go. I like to also sketch or photoshop illustrations to see how it will look prior to starting.
Cut the stabilizer to fit.
Peel off like a sticker.
Place the sticky side down.
Hoop it.
Always practice. You can get an idea of how it will look and sizing.
Now start the real thing. I just embroidered all over my shirt.
Free motion is basically doodling with your sewing machine using a darning or free motion foot. You can follow a sketch you designed on the fabric or just doodle and "free motion." In the video above I show you how this is done.
Now to alter the shirt... I'd suggest doing this prior to embroidery but I like to make things a bit more challenging sometimes.
Flip inside out and sew the inseams of the shirt like above. Then snip any excess. Mine was really big so I even went as far as removing the sleeves all together and taking in the shoulders and shortening the sleeves. That's another tutorial though...
Find your waist and add a sash into the seam.
Sandwich the sash into the side seam and sew.

Tracing Street Art History
Make no mistake about it: street art is high art. While tagging a wall with your initials may not constitute fine art, street art murals are increasingly getting the cred they deserve.
To prove it, theorist Daniel Feral has rewritten art history to include street art, with a diagram inspired by MOMA's first director.
Now, who's going to turn this diagram into street art? Banksy? Fairey? Bueller? Anyone?

Stair Lifts
Lifts with mechanical seats which help lift people up and down the stairs helping them from recovering from an injury or have a condition which reduces mobility to reach and get down from the upper floors of the home. There are also specialized lifts for wheelchairs and "perching" models with tall, narrow seats for users with knee problems or narrow staircases.
Straight stair lift
Straight stair lifts for a straight flight of stairs goes up and down in a straight line. These lifts are not able to turn around curves, bends, or travel across a landing. They are available in different lengths and fit different staircases conveniently.
Curved stair lift
A curved stair lift is able to navigate through corners and reversal of direction in the stairs. They generally cost more prices due to their more complex nature, and the fact that most need to be custom designed and built.
Stair Climber
Stair Climber let users to up and down in stairs in their own wheelchair quickly, safely and easily. It is suitable for all floor coverings i.e. wood, stone, and marble or any other coverings.
General features
- Weight capacity- Each stair lift has a maximum weight capacity, which usually ranges from 250 to 400 pounds.
- Battery option- Stair lifts run on electricity, but to keep them running during power outages, they also must have battery backups. Lifts can recharge anywhere on the track laid along the rails.
- Seat- Stair lift seat must be comfortable, ergonomic, secure and adjustable. Most of them are padded and equipped with seat belts.
- Key switch- A key switch prevents unauthorized use of a stair lift as it cannot be used without its key. This feature is especially useful in houses with children.
- Hand-held controller- Allow users to send the carriage up the stairs and out of the way when not in use, or call it to the bottom of the steps from the top.
- Call and send controls- Stair lifts with multiple users have infrared remote controls to call them down or send them up the stairs.
- Contact pressure controls- They requires the user to actually be pressing a control (usually located on the seat arm) for the carriage to move along the track. If the control button or joystick is depressed, the carriage will not move. Thus, constant pressure must be maintained for the carriage to travel the length of the track.
Safety features
- Safety Switch- Located on the carriage and is used to ensure that the chair is locked into a safe position for travel before the carriage begins its ascent or descent on the track. It will not allow the carriage to begin movement, or draw power, unless it is in the correct position.
- Safety sensors- Some stair lifts may have cutoff sensors in their carriages and footrests which in monitoring the path of a stair lift for obstructions. When there is an obstruction in the way, these sensors immediately pull it to a stop, helping prevent accidents and damage.
- Lockable isolation switch- Designed to prevent use of the stair lift when the isolation switch is locked by a key.

PreVAiL, which stands for Preventing Violence Across the Lifespan, is an international research collaboration of over 60 researchers and partners from Canada, the US, the UK, Asia, Europe and Australia, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research's Institute for Gender and Health (2009-2017).
Our goal is to bring together researchers and decision-maker partners to produce and share knowledge that will help children, women and men exposed to child maltreatment and intimate partner violence (IPV).
PreVAiL has three main objectives:
- to increase knowledge about the links between mental health impairment, gender and exposure to child maltreatment and IPV, both in Canada and internationally;
- to develop interventions to prevent or reduce child maltreatment, IPV and related mental health problems; and
- to develop and use proven methods of knowledge translation and exchange to ensure that our research findings reach those who make decisions in these areas.
PreVAiL is organized according to three theme areas, and is guided by an Advisory Committee and Research Principles:
- Theme 1 – Gender, Mental Health and Violence Network
- Theme 2 – Understanding and Fostering Resilient Mental Health Outcomes in the Context of Violence across the Lifespan
- Theme 3 – Innovations in Knowledge Translation & Exchange Strategies and Research Methods Specific to Mental Health, Gender and Violence across the Lifespan

An adviser who oversaw $300 million at Robertson Stephens has gone independent with Dynasty Financial Partners, according to a spokeswoman.
Adviser Jerry Nigro, who has previous experience working for several wirehouses, opened Claybrook Capital in Boston. He is joined by Virginia Madden who will serve as managing director, the spokeswoman said.
With Dynasty's backing, "we are positioning our new wealth management firm for future expansion," Nigro said in the statement.
He had been with Robertson Stephens since 2015, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. Previously, he worked at UBS for seven years, Goldman Sachs for almost eight and Merrill Lynch for four. He began his career with Dreyfus in 1993, BrokerCheck records show.
A spokeswoman for Robertson Stephens confirmed his departure.
"Jerry has been a valuable contributor to Robertson Stephens and [we] congratulate his entrepreneurial spirit on the launch of his own firm. We wish him much success," the spokeswoman says.
Nigro's new firm will also use services from Fidelity Custody and Clearing Solutions, according to the Dynasty spokeswoman.
This is Dynasty's first recruiting move of the year. Last year, the firm helped several large teams breakaway from their previous employers.
The firm began 2016 landing Merrill Lynch adviser Miguel Sosa in Coral Gables, Florida. Sosa oversaw $400 million in client assets. A $750 million team led by Carrie Gallaway and Andrew Stern joined the firm in July. They previously worked at Lebenthal Wealth Advisors, which later shuttered its wealth management operations.

Hi there,
I got my first pool last summer, so I was (and still is) a pool newbie. I just want to say that one of the best advice I got so far, was last summer when waterbear and Jasonlion told me to buy a water Test Kit. I then bought the TFP Test Kit. Very simple to use, very usefull (a must). I was not sure at the beginning, but now I know it is a must.
So if you are new to the pool world and want to do it right, buy a test kit, you won't regret it.
I live in Canada, so I was very sad (almost crying here ) that the TF test kit cannot be sold anymore to Canadian customers. No choice I gess .
I kept reading the Forum the whole winter and always find it interesting (always learning new stuff). Keep up the good work.
[Edited by SeanB to reflect correct name of kit, the TF-100. While we do recommend the tf-100, it is not sold or owned by TFP nor do we profit from kit sales.]

|This is the first photo, unedited.
I am not a paranormal investigator. I have no interest in paranormal investigating. I enjoy these types of TV shows as much as anyone else, but that's about it. I partake of paranormal shows as entertainment. It isn't that I don't believe in the supernatural at all, I simply take these types of things with a grain of salt.
Earlier this month I wrote an article on examiner.com about the Boulder City Pet Cemetery and got some great pictures in the late afternoon. I decided to return to the pet cemetery at night to see if I could get some good nighttime photos. The setting is perfect; rustic old graves in the middle of the desert make for a very dark, gothic subject. Just the type of pictures I love to take.
I took a friend with me on this outing. At the time it was mainly for company, but looking back I am glad I was not alone. I did not feel anything macabre at the cemetery during the day. Upon visiting after dark, my main concern was coyotes, or even mountain lions, that could easily be in the area.
|First photo, Color enhanced to show detail.
To be honest, the only time during the night that I felt at all uneasy was while taking these two photos. While setting up my tripod, both my friend and I heard something moving in the distance. It was windy and we thought we had debunked the noise as being a branch from a nearby bush hitting a short metal fence someone erected around their pet's grave. In retrospect, the sound was coming from the direction that the eyes appear to be coming from.
I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until a few days later when I finally found time to sit down and edit the photos. That's when I noticed what looked like a green face with glowing eyes behind the grave marker. Then I noticed that there were three sets of eyes in the second photo taken of the grave marker.
My camera has never done anything like this before. I have taken many nighttime shots with it. There is nothing that could have caused the green light to even be there, let alone blur into something like this. There was no lighting used except for the lights from the moon and the solar-powered lights on the grave. In fact, I did not even have a flashlight with me. The moon provided all the light needed to find our way around. It should also be noted that I had just done a similar nighttime shoot at Fox Ridge Park in Henderson for my article about the demon-child who supposedly haunts the swings there. Absolutely nothing abnormal appeared in any of those photos.
|Second photo, unedited.
Three sets of "eyes" can be seen near the "2012" area.
What I find the most interesting is that it is not just one photo. The same phenomenon can be seen in the second photo, as well. The eyes are a little closer to the camera, and you can see one set is hovering in front of the grave marker. The third photo was taken about ten or fifteen minutes later on our way back out of the cemetery. Nothing appears in this one even though it was taken in the same lighting.
I have to say, looking at ghost pictures online is one thing; you don't know who took the picture, if they have something to gain form it, or if their camera was malfunctioning, etc. It is quite another when it was you who took the picture on your own camera. I know that there is nothing but miles of open desert between the cemetery and Boulder City. I know that my camera has never malfunctioned or taken any similar photos before. Most importantly, I know I didn't fake or Photoshop the pictures. That's what makes this so unsettling.
|This is one of the other photos taken that night. The lights of Boulder City can be seen in the background.

How to Conduct a Mass Employee Termination & Issues for Employers to Consider
In this article, we shall look into the various factors which an employer should consider if they are planning on conducting a mass termination of their workforce. We shall examine the various stages in planning for this including preliminary steps and issues to consider right through to what to consider on the actual date of termination.
Stage 1 – Planning & Background Stage
Before an employer undertakes a mass termination of their workforce, they need to consider a number of things, one of the most important being an examination of the employment agreements of the staff to be terminated along with their work to see what they provide for regarding termination, severance pay and advance notice requirements. The terminations must at a minimum be in compliance with Thai law but should also comply with the employment agreement & work rules too.
An employer should also check the total liabilities that it will need to pay taking into account severance pay entitlement, unused annual leave, advance notice requirements as well as any other payout as required under the employment contracts or the employer's work rules.
The Employer should also carefully consider the reason behind the terminations as this issue will be critical in determining if such terminations are fair or unfair in the eyes of the law. One potential reason an employer may wish to use is re-organization of the company due to financial hardship as it could help an employer to avoid/minimize unfair termination claims. However if an employer wishes to rely on this justification it should be aware that the Supreme Court has specified a range of criteria in determining whether a termination based on such reorganization is fair or unfair, these criteria include examining the extent of losses incurred by the employer, the capacity of the employer to raise new capital or additional funds/ capital, the seriousness of the financial position of the employer i.e. is the employer close to being dissolved or is its business still commercially viable? If an employer wishes to use this reason as the justification for the mass termination of its workforce then the writer advises that the employer should firstly try to avoid this course of action by negotiating with its employees to ask their staff to agree to reducing salaries or other work benefits, or withholding salary raises or canceling bonuses. It would also be advisable for an employer to try to use other approaches to cut costs before conducting terminations due to reorganization, the employer should retain evidence of such cost saving attempts as these may be very useful in court at a later stage if the terminations go ahead and the employer needs to provide that it undertook other preliminary cost saving steps to avoid the need to terminate staff.
To minimize risk relating to unfair termination, an employer should also consider other approaches to reducing staff, one possible approach would be using an 'early retirement' program, however employer's should be aware that this would only be suitable for those staff who are willing to resign. Moreover, this option will depend on what incentives the employer is willing to offer to staff in exchange for their resignation or early retirement.
Finally, during the planning stage, an employer should also check to see if any of the workers to be terminated are pregnant as they make an argument that they are being terminated because of their pregnancy which is against the Labour Protection Act. Moreover, the employer should also find out if any of the staff to be terminated are committee members on the Employee's Committee because if there are, then according to s.52 of the Labour Relations Act they will need approval from the Labour Court to dismiss such employees.
Stage 2 – Preparation
Once the previously mentioned background steps have been undertaken, an employer should then determine exactly which staff will be terminated and if such staff will be terminated at once or if it will carried out over a longer period. If an employer wishes to do it over an extended period and they wish to use the reorganization approach then they should be careful to ensure that the terminations are conducted objectively i.e. an employer should not terminate problematic or unpopular staff first and then better staff later on, if this occurs it could be construed by the Thai labour court that such terminations are unfair.
An employer should then prepare the termination letters for all employees that are to be terminated. The letters should mention the reason for the termination and should be signed by an authorized person such as the Authorized Director(s). The letters should also have an attachment mentioning the termination benefits that the employee shall receive. One of the key preparatory steps which an employer should adequately plan for is to ensure it has sufficient funds to pay the termination payments and to arrange cashiers cheques for the staff.
On a practical level, if there are many staff to be terminated, it would be sensible to liaise with relevant Government authorities in relation to the terminations including the Labour Dept, Labour Welfare Committee and the local police so that they are aware of what is going to happen and can prepare accordingly. It may also be a good idea to arrange an extra security presence at the workplace on the date of the terminations.
With respect to company assets/ property held by the staff to be terminated, it may also be a good idea for the company to recall all hardware and assets from the staff being terminated in the days before the termination.
If some of the staff to be terminated are foreigners then the Employer will need to work out a plan for cancelling the non-immigrant B class visas of such staff as well as their work permits. If the company will still keep some foreign employees after the termination, it will need to check that there are a sufficient number of Thai staff to meet the legal requirements such as ratio of Thai staff to foreign staff.
If the employees have a provident fund, the fund will need to be notified of the upcoming terminations so it can prepare payouts to the employees in relation to their contributions under the fund which may include employer contributions too.
Stage 3 - Terminations
When issuing the termination letters to each staff member the employer should ideally have each staff member sign for their letter and their cashier's cheque too. If possible the employer should try to record the handover using a video recorder as evidence of how the terminations were conducted as some staff may be unwilling to sign for their termination letters. When handing the letters and cheques over the staff should at the same time return keys, access cards, credit cards and other company assets to minimize the risk of problems arising later on. If terminated staff have access to the employer's bank accounts then the writer recommends that online access codes should be changed in advance of the termination occurring or the relevant staff becoming aware of their termination.
As mentioned previously it may be sensible to have extra security at the workplace in case a protest occurs or violence erupts as a result of the terminations.
The writer recommends that the employer's lawyer/ labour law expert should also be in attendance at the workplace to help the Company through the termination process by answering queries asked by the employees regarding the termination and how the payout money was determined in accordance with the law.
When explaining the reason for the termination to the staff the Company should be careful to ensure that it is consistent in its message to departing staff so that they are all told the same story as otherwise the employees may feel that the reason is not legitimate and become upset about the terminations.

Spears now a work of art
EmptyFallen pop princess Britney Spears has been called many things this year as she has bounced in and out of rehab, attacked paparazzi with an umbrella and shaken her stuff on MTV's Video Music Awards.
No doubt, Spears has been a real piece of work. Now, she is more than 50 pieces of art at a Hollywood gallery.
Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbatos -- makers of the documentary "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" about former televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker Messner as well as other films exploring fame -- gathered paintings, sculpture and other work for "Just Britney," which opened at their gallery on Friday.
"We reached out to a number of artists and found Britney is such a polarizing character these days," said Steven Corfe, a co-curator of the show with Thairin Smothers.
"People absolutely adored her and wanted to celebrate her bubblegum, pop princess years. Or, they thought she was an irresponsible mother or wanted to play up the drug side of things," Corfe added. "The show reflects that whole spectrum."
Pieces range from a portrait of the 25-year-old singer, "Gum Blond XLVIII" by Jason Kronenwald, made of chewed bubble gum, to the 6-foot by 10-foot (1.8 by 3.0-metre) "Snake Charmer" by Jamie Boling, based on a paparazzi photo of Britney exiting a car with her skirt hiked up and no panties on.
Spears rose to fame as a child star on the Disney Channel and a member of the New Mickey Mouse Club. As a teenager, she released chart-topping pop tunes like "Baby One More Time" and "Oops!...I Did It Again."
But as a young adult, Spears has been through two marriages and is in a custody battle over the two children she had with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
She has dealt with substance abuse, fired her staff, shaved her head and shed clothes for an ocean dip in front of paparazzi. Her performance of a new song, "Gimme More," while dressed as a stripper at the MTV awards, earned harsh criticism.
"She personifies our obsession with celebrity culture, and it's an obsession that won't die down no matter how far she goes off the rail," Corfe said. "We love to put people up on a pillar and we love even more to shoot them down."
"Just Britney" runs through early October at Bailey's and Barbatos' World of Wonder art gallery in Hollywood.

Royall M. Mack Sr., who Gov. Deval Patrick appointed chairman of the Middlesex Community College board of trustees two years ago, has "bragged" for more than 10 years that he has an "executive MBA from Harvard University." However, The Boston Herald reported Tuesday that the Ivy League school does not award that degree.
On the 11-year-old website of his corporation, Ciara Enterprises LLC, Mack Sr. has recorded that he received the graduate degree through the school's Advanced Management Program. Yet, the program lasts eight weeks and awards only an official recognition for a current price of about $75,000. Furthermore, none of the Harvard Business School program has ever offered an "Executive MBA."
In a Press Release dated Oct. 19, 2012, "GOVERNOR PATRICK APPOINTS ROYALL M. MACK, SR. AS CHAIR OF MIDDLESEX COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES," the governor said, "He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, and graduated first in his class from Harvard University's Advanced Management Program."
"The class voted on the person that best represented the class," Mack told the Herald. "That's basically how it was positioned. … The classmates had to vote on it. It's a very intense senior-level program."
Mack said that his failure to accurate the website was an "honest mistake." However, on his website, the error had not been fixed (as of Dec. 10).
Patrick's headquarters didn't respond to precise inquiries about Mack. In its place, the governor released a statement saying all chairman nominations are handled through the Public Education Nominating Council before an endorsement is made to the governor.
On Dec. 10, the governor promised to "get the facts from the source," while affirming that he does not have conversations with "individual appointees to community college boards (in advance)."
The same day, Mack sent the following email to all MCC students, trustees, and employees:
"I want to take this opportunity to address an allegation that has surfaced this week regarding the misrepresentation of my academic credentials. Media reports this week have called into question the authenticity of my academic achievements from Harvard University. I want to make it clear that I attended the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration in 1991 and successfully completed the 109th session of their Advanced Management Program.
At no time have I personally represented that I obtained an executive MBA from Harvard as a result. That information was gleaned by a web page designer, from a completion certificate I received from Harvard. The web designer misinterpreted that information and included it in web-based biographies that were included on several websites as well as announcements from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts related to my appointment as chair of the Middlesex Community College Board of Trustees.
This clarification has been communicated to the Commissioner of Higher Education in Massachusetts.
I want to assure all of you that I place the highest possible value on personal integrity and would never intentionally misrepresent such an academic achievement, and in no way whatsoever should this reflect at all on any of the outstanding work being performed by the MCC Board of Trustees nor any of the college's staff, faculty, or students."
As the Middlesex board gathered to name President Carole Cowan's replacement on Dec 11, Cowan and other trustees said they have confidence in Mack regardless of the reports. Trustee Paul E. Means, a former state representative from Stoneham, said the chairman had been "beaten up in the press" but that he did a "very good job" in guiding the search for a new president; however, "The appearance stretches the credibility that person has when something like this happens," said Means.
Cowan, in a brief interview, told a Herald reporter that "you'd have to talk to (Mack)" and said his inflated resume doesn't concern her. "Full confidence," she said of him.
UPDATE: Dec. 12
In a three-paragraph resignation letter sent to the governor on Dec 12, Mack says that he quits with "great regret and inestimable pride" in MCC. Just a day before, Mack chaired the board's final meeting of the year, where they selected James Mabry as MCC new president, replacing the outgoing Carole Cowan, who is leaving her $260,000-a-year post after more than 20 years.

How to Watercolor?
Watercolor Application - E-Painting Pattern
Watercolor Rhododendrons by Artist Neadeen Masters
From the artist..."If you are just starting out with painting watercolors, you have probably discovered that they can have a mind of their own. With a little practise and patience, watercolor media can be loads of fun to play with. This flower painting pattern was designed for the new watercolor artist who simply wants to know how to watercolor? It will help you use the basic watercolor painting teachiques to create this bouquet of flowers. You will soon discover how you can use many of these same techniques to paint other beautiful flowers. I hope you enjoy the painting lesson"
Artist Neadeen Masters shows how to watercolor and shows how easy it is to use an acrylic media as a traditional watercolor media. Learn to apply simple painting techniques to create lovely effects that you can use on many other watercolor paintings. This 22 page written painting lesson contains step by step written painting instruction and 28 step by step color photographs to help you paint along with the artist.
How to Watercolor &Watercolor Painting Tips
Below you can watch a few short watercolor videos where Neadeen shares basic watercolor painting techniques with you. You can return to view these videos prior to painting the Rhododendron flowers in this painting pattern. Many new painters often worry that learning how to watercolor is a difficult process. Not so...it just takes a little time to get the hang of the fluid movement of the watercolor paint...watch the short videos and you'll see for yourself that painting with watercolors is fun and creative. Learn how to watercolor in just a few hours...
Watercolor Painting Techniques of the Lesson:
• 'Tufting' – this is a techniques used to create a textured surface, like a quilted effect on a surface.
• 'Under-wash' – this is a wash that is applied to create a 'glow' that will show through and affect the colours that are layered on top. It is under everything else.
• Charging color – Watercolor paint is deposited to an area and forced to charge into another wet area.
• Preserve the white space – this means that you will avoid certain areas, leaving them without paint.
• Wet in wet – This technique is used for creating special effects. When the artists wishes to avoid hard edges, the paint is deposited onto a surface which is also wet, usually it has been pre moistened with water or another color. The paint will disperse in an unpredictable pattern.
• Wet in dry – This technique is used for a more controlled effect. The paint is applied to a specific area; the artist directs the placement of paint with the tip of the brush.
• Wash – A wash is a uniform application of transparent paint over a specific area. There are several types of washes, some show value or color change where the color can change from light to dark showing gradation or show a variegation of color if two or more colors are used.
• Casual wash – This is a wash applied in a casual or slip slap manner.
• Flat wash – This is an evenly distributed wash applied to a controlled area, showing little or no value change.
• Soft edge – Color is deposited to an area, a damp brush is used to remove the hard edge and create a damp area where the paint can gradually fade away.

I had originally purchased this packet over a month ago, but it did not contain the line drawing, or it did not download. When I saw this packet being offered as a freebie I was able to download the line drawing. Neadeen makes everything so easy to understand. I wish there were some online courses in watercolor!
Posted by Cindy Elener on 9th Jan 2013
Very nicely written. I like the way it says the artist does this or that, it makes me feel that I could do it. I have not tried watercolours yet but am inspired by the wonderful instructiobs and pictures.
Thanks for sharing.

Posted by Caroline on 8th Jan 2013
This is my first watercolor pattern packet and I wasn't sure what I could expect in painting this style. Upon opening the .pdf file I was very pleased to find 24 pages of instructions, with 26 ( thank you for this - so very, very helpful ) high quality photos of progressive steps in completing the design. This makes me feel like I can actually achieve something similar to the finished picture in the packet when I am done. =)

The Lush Prize is a collaboration between Ethical Consumer and Lush Cosmetics; a £250,000 annual fund to reward groups or individuals working in the field of cruelty-free scientific research, awareness raising and lobbying.
The Prize combines the research and campaigning skills of Ethical Consumer and the passion and resources of Lush staff and is the biggest prize in the non-animal testing sector. The Prize will continue until all animal testing has been replaced.
The Lush Prize Awards and Conference took place on Friday 20 November in London. In addition to £200,000 being shared by the winners of the lobbying, training, public awareness, science and young researchers awards, this year the judges launched the Black Box awards.
It is called the 'Black Box Prize' because traditional product safety testing, relying on animal tests, explains little about whether and how chemicals cause adverse health effects in humans: it treats the issue as a 'black box'. Lush wants to help open the box and improve the science of safety testing.
The 2014 Lush Prize Awards and Conference took place in London on Wednesday 14th November.
