I have spent the last 2 out of 13 years living on a part time basis. This sounds odd but it has changed my life. I am more relaxed and consequently get things done, although rather slowly. Sometimes I feel 90 but I have gotten very good at acceptance.
In short I have a 2 hour window. Meeting friends, a bit of shopping or gallery visiting and I call it a day. Friends understand the rule. What it means is that I can do other things in the day you know like cooking, eating - just staying awake. If I obey the rule I can also do things the next day rather than having to rest for 2 or 3.
My body cannot cope with noise, vibration or stress so I avoid this as much as possible. Fortunately, I have a heated car seat - a blessing on a long journey or if the roads/pavements are rutted causing my muscles to have to adjust a lot. Ear defenders also take the edge of the constant loud intrusive music forced on us in shops, high streets etc. Avoiding crowded situations also reduces stress which again gives me more time to do normal everyday things.
Finding what works for you takes time and it is not failure to accept that life has to be adjusted. Take a deep breath and go with what is best for you - live your life.

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) December 05, 2016
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the National Scenic Byway program, signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1991. To mark the occasion and celebrate the 150 roads across the country that have earned National Scenic Byway status, a special celebration will be held on December 6 from 5-7pm in the Congressional Atrium at the Capitol Visitors Center.
Congressional Hosts for the evening are Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Rep. Ted Poe of Texas, Rep. John Delaney of Maryland and Rep. Sam Farr of California. John Porcari, former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation will be a featured speaker, sharing his unique perspectives on 25 years of the National Scenic Byway Program. A number of other members of Congress, as well as current and former transportation and scenic byway leaders, and other dignitaries are expected to be in attendance.
Scenic Byway Trailblazer Awards will be presented to Senator Lamar Alexander, a longtime advocate of scenic roadways, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, representing the departments of transportation from all 50 states plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
National Scenic Byways are recognized for their scenic, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and archeological qualities. They attract travelers seeking the authentic experiences offered by many of our roads less travelled. These roads are important to local communities because of the economic benefits generated by tourism, as well as the sense of pride they instill in preserving a corridor important to the heritage of surrounding communities as well as the entire nation. Recent federal research shows that international visitors in particular are seeking out scenic byways because of their interest in the true "American road" experience.
The reception is sponsored by the National Scenic Byway Foundation, Scenic America and the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership. Other supporters include AASHTO, the American Highway Users Alliance, the American Bus Association, Visit Rochester and American Road Magazine.

Assistant Professor of Finance, Booth School of Business, University of Chicago
Ph.D. in Finance and Business Economics
Graduated in 2014
As a Ph.D. candidate in finance and business economics at USC Marshall, Samuel Hartzmark quickly made his mark. Collaborating with renowned Marshall faculty – including financial economist David Solomon and trading and investment management expert Lawrence Harris – Hartzmark distinguished himself with scholarship that broke new ground on issues ranging from stock market anomalies to interest rates and uncertainty.
Marshall was a good fit for Hartzmark on a number of fronts. "The school has a great finance group that is constantly getting better, which was a big part of it," he says. "I was also able to finish in four years, whereas for most people in the field, it takes about six."
In the final analysis, though, it was the human resources that convinced him to attend. "The people were the most valuable aspect of the program, hands down," Hartzmark says. "Ultimately, the biggest thing with any Ph.D. program is the quality of the individual faculty you work with." For Hartzmark, those faculty included Wayne Ferson, [holder of the Ivadelle and Theodore Johnson Chair in Banking and Finance and professor of finance and business economics], widely considered a leading expert on asset pricing. "I was fortunate to have Wayne as my adviser, and it was an incredible experience to get to work with him," he says.
Hartzmark, who upon graduating accepted a position as assistant professor of finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, says his relationships paid immediate dividends. For him, having recommendations from highly regarded faculty made all the difference. "USC Marshall is a dynamic place on the upswing, and the connections I made there enabled me to land one of the best jobs in the market," he says.
At USC, Hartzmark also leveraged the school's less academic resources. "I played IM basketball with the Marshall Ph.D. student team, and I played squash with some of the faculty," he says. In addition, he soaked up the famous Trojan spirit as a season ticket holder to football games. "USC has a good community, and the campus is great," he says. "Come January in Chicago, I definitely miss sitting outside and doing work!"

|Help! I'm absolutely beside myself this morning!
Watered the Vanda's this morning, and the 'Brighton's Ruby Jewel' has yellow roots. They were in beautiful shape yesterday! What's wrong? And what can I do to mend it? Please help!!!!

|I only have the two old Vanda and have never seen this happen. I hope it is nothing serious. I feel sure that those with more experience growing Vanda will be able to help you.

|Yikes, Tara I can see how you'd be worried. I have not that much experience either, but here's my take on it. As long as your plant has healthy looking leaves and some healthy green roots with growing tips - I can see a great big one in your picture - then I don't think it's in trouble. Your plant has some older, brown roots (mine have those too) and maybe these roots have just reached the end of their useful life? Or maybe they have a case of new algae growing on them - some of mine have a lot of green algae growing on them, it doesn't seem to hurt anything.
For this to happen so suddenly is very odd and would indicate to me it was something in the water or something that got on the roots from somewhere else. Most diseases or bugs would not happen suddenly like that.
Can you get a magnifying glass and look closely at the yellow roots to make sure it's not bugs or mites or something? If they go white or grey again when they dry out, I'd just keep an eye on it but not worry as long as the plant's top growth isn't affected.
"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." –Winston Churchill

| with Elaine. My Vanda's hair like roots get brittle and fall off. For as long as you have huge green roots and healthy leaves you should be fine. One of my Vanda leaves turned brown because it got sunburned.

|Been off line for a few days now...
Elaine! The plant itself, is looking very healthy! Very green leaves! Looking very happy! The roots ,as you have seen, not so much... I did look very closely for an "infestation"... mites, etc....I've seen none. Just some roots looking quite sad. Yellowing, but also some new very healthy roots...At this point I'm just hoping that these are "old" roots that are 'giving up'?
Gigi, There are several really green roots, and seems to be some new, green roots coming on, so, I'm hoping that the yellow ones I'm seeing are just a "natural" part of .... So long as the plant itself is looking pretty good, I'm just going to go with...the natural order of things????
Jun 16, 2016 9:42 PM CST
|That's what I would do Tara.

With this risk-reversal option strategy you end up either buying AAPL at $80 if it trades under $80 in October, or at $100 if it trades over $100 in October, and you pay nothing upfront for it.
It's a bet that iPhone 7 has a few tricks up its sleeve and the AAPL share price climbs back over $100.

Sunday morning problem: Can you solve this simple Mathematical problem?I humbly request the Members of ISC to solve this simple problem. Although it is very simple, I could not find the solution by mind calculation (because I don't want to write/calculate rnow). The problem is mentioned below:-
1. I went to purchase 500 grams of 'jilebi' (a sweet) @Rs. 150 per kg.
2. I also ordered to puchase 300 grams of 'namak pyade' (a snacks) @Rs. 165 per kg.
3. The shop-keeper gave 4 gms. less namak pyade', i.e., I got 296 grams of the snacks instead of 300 grams.
4. The shop-keeper gave me 6 gms. more 'jilebi', i.e., I got 506 grams of the sweet instead of 500 grams.
Kindly let me know whether I have been benefitted or not from the above two mistakes of the shop-keeper. If possible, kindly provide the entire calculation for my benefit. Send the answer to: firstname.lastname@example.com

Our walnut
The walnut root is the natural choice for VO Vapen AB, not only for its strength and lightness but also for its beauty. An aged walnut root is an absolute necessary ingredient for making a beautiful rifle.
VO Vapen AB selects the best walnut root in different countries in Europe. Mr Master Gunsmith Viggo Olsson and his son Gunsmith Ulf Olsson select the trees themselves. When the roots are dug up they are transported to Sweden, where they are stored and naturally air-dried.
When the humidity is at the correct level, the roots are washed and the bark is shaved off. Then the roots are cut into planks on a homemade saw. Throughout the next three years, the planks must be stored in different facilities where the moisture is gradually drawn out of them.
The moisture is checked and when it has the right balance, the plank is cut into one or several stock blocks.

Planning to go to Canada for a holiday, then great and long in Alberta, with your grandmother? Well, what are you waiting for? Book it!
The climate of extreme heat and cold symbolize Canada, a country characterized by its multi-ethnic citizens. Including Citizens of people: the European Union, Indian, Arabic, and the origin of the American region, Italian, Spanish and Caribbean. Aboriginal Peoples in Canada also add to the flavor of the country. Located in the northern part of North America, Canada seduces you with its beauty, scenic virgin. On the snowy mountains to serene lakes and rivers, forest forest, Canada, invites you with its natural environment.
Although you are not in any case unless the money, "not so fast, Your mind tells you. Too bad you never made an international call to Canada. Now you have to give up person sesame masterplan offers to make that call to you. No, he just happened if it was not brought you to this article just for any reason. Fortunately, information on how to make a call International abound in Canada, and it was only because they are packaged for your convenience. and guess what you are about to know to save the dough is very precious. So just read on.
Easy ways to save on international calls.
It is recommended not to worker to help with calls. This will cost you dollars when you can spend a few cents to make that phone call. Another trick is to take advantage of the flexibility of prepaid calling plans offered by long distance telecommunications and sources differ.
You know your calling habits. According habits make international calls, if you're a night or day caller or non-business days caller or not, and inform the company you are looking to give your company will be a great help.
The real deal in the development of an international call to Canada:
Note that the country code for Canada is 1. It is well known that the number that the routing number, prefix and country code.
Maybe an error on this number will take you to other countries. You definitely do not want to be greeted by somebody speaking Hungarian or Japanese. It would be a waste of money as well. If you do not suffer from these results, it is really the best on your toes when you connect all the numbers are supposed to dial.
Here is a list of area codes in Canada:
Alberta 403
BC (Lower Mainland 604)
Manitoba 204
New Brunswick 506
Newfoundland 709
Ontario (London) 519
Ontario (North Bay) 705
Ontario (Ottawa) 613
Ontario (Thunder Bay) 807
Ontario (Toronto Metro) 416
Ontario (near Toronto) 905
Prince Edward Island 902
Quebec (Montreal) 514
Quebec (Quebec) 418
Quebec (Sherbrooke), 819
Saskatchewan 306
Simple Steps to Canada call:
Ask the international access code - 011 (no need to dial this code if calling from the United States of America).
Ask the country code of Canada - 1.
Ask the city code where you want to connect with him. (For example: Alberta city code is 403 and Manitoba city code is 204.)
Ask the other figures.
Avoid calling direct unless you're comfortable enough not mind spending a large sum for such a call is simple and easy international. Prepaid phone service is much more convenient. In addition, if you despise demand too many numbers, prepaid calling services no longer require you to require any party. Just shop around for better prices.
Although French and English are official languages in Canada, and understand the local language can be daunting too. For example, "Mickey" is not a cartoon character, but a small bottle of wine, called Royal Mountain police as "policemen".
Apart from the effort to learn the instructions in a call to Canada while saving money, you may need to go the extra mile to make your experience of international calls a little more significant than usual. Go greet the person calling you with "Hello" my house since French is also one of the main languages used in Canada. And it will not only surprise the recipient of your call. It also can not make it today.

'Inception' consists of various sub genre's, including action, adventure and mystery. All of which are briefly shown in the opening sequence. My partner and I have decided to plan and shoot a mystery, action, thriller. The movie inception depicts many features that i am looking to incorporate into my production. It contains many flashback sequences relating to a different world/dimension.
Due to the mystery of the opening, it makes the audience want to continue watching. Its intriguing and keeps the audience wanting to know more about what is going on. Audience would want to find the personality of the character and will be curious to know how he got into the situation he's in which is another element we're using in our film.
We feed off the non diegetic and diegetic sounds that come with the opening. The sound of the waves crashing loud and hard, the sound of the kids. The background music is uneasy and makes the audience feel like we should be expecting something.
It establishes its genre by using editing that makes the opening scene seem mysterious and uncertain thus giving us the audience a feel for what the movie is going to be like. It presents a theme of unstableness and confusion which gives off a sense of action and mystery. This then allows the characters to be introduced in a way that further emphasises the state of confusion and mystery. The first character we see is lying on the sand on the beach and the close up of his face makes us think that he does not know where he is or what he is doing there. We are then introduced to kids however the lighting and editing make us feel that its just the man imagining them being there. This is the same element that my partner and i are looking to incorporate into our film.

69 Beverly Hills Playhouse Tips
- Dine before you go 1
small small theater, maybe 5 rows max. Restrooms are up and down stairs. Doors don't open until 10 minutes ahead of time - can wait in the alley with the Will Call and the snack sellers until then. Seating isn't assigned. Dress is casual. Street parking and not too many places around it still open on Sunday afternoons...
Thai Boom across the street offers basic Thai fare and is extremely easy on the budget. One stop parking for dinner and show makes it very convenient.

Your diet–what you eat or don't eat–certainly affects your blood pressure level. Those who are suffering from hypertension are constantly advised to munch on raw garlic or take garlic supplements. It's for a good reason.
Why Garlic?
Garlic contains an active substance called allicin that has been found to reduce blood pressure levels. However, garlic should be eaten in raw form, ideally crushed. Allicin is destroyed during cooking.
Apart from garlic, people with hypertension can also benefit from cucumbers and apple cider vinegar. Cucumber is a natural diuretic that lowers pressure in the arteries. It also keeps the body hydrated. Vinegar, meanwhile, reduces blood pressure by alkalizing the body.
What to Avoid
On the other side of the fence, some foods should be avoided. Salt for example makes the kidneys hold more water. Carrying more water increases the level of blood pressure. Coffee is also a bad idea, as it spikes up blood pressure. The caffeine in the coffee is said to block the hormone responsible for keeping arteries widened. Caffeine also prompts the release of more adrenaline, which is also a known blood pressure raiser.
In addition to diet, your physical activity also has an effect on your blood pressure level. A research study published in the Hypertension journal of the American Heart Association revealed that regular exercise keeps the blood pressure stable on a healthy level.
Eat right and exercise regularly–this is the way to a healthier life!

This book was just like the others in the series. It did not disappoint. Mr. Obrien has one of the best series out today in the Apocalypse category. I look forward to more of Jack and the rest of the crew, along with his collaboration with Mark Tufo. The two together will be great.

Neil Patrick Harris – Opening Number – What If Life Were More Like Theater – Tony Awards 2012
The Accurate Source To Find Lyrics To Neil Patrick Harris – Opening Number – What If Life Were More Like Theater – Tony Awards 2012."
[Neil Patrick Harris – Opening Number – What If Life Were More Like Theater – Tony Awards 2012]
[Neil Patrick Harris (June 15, 1973)]
What if life were more like theater?
What if everywhere you went you heard a band?
Wouldn't life be so much sweeter
if you could queue the weather with your hand?
And what if all your questions had rhyming answers
And you never left home without your back-up dancers?
What if life were more like theatre?
Wouldn't life be grand?
What if life were tightly written
And divided into nifty little scenes
You're my whole world
The world's a pretty big place, Amanda.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I'm leaving you.
No! Mamma mia!
And just as you spilttin'
Your apartment disappeared by unknown means
Thanks mysterious people in black clothing!
And what if no one thought that there was something strange
About a magical, seven-second costume change?
And then apropos of nothing
There were crazy dance routines!
What if everyone's diction were crisper
And secrets were told in a shouted whisper
And the only problems that mattered were your own

Hey, you guys wanna hear me sing about my problems?
I love my fake friends!
What if everyone took it for granted
That British umbrellas were all enchanted
You can hardly see the cables!
And your next-door neighbor was the legendary Patti LuPone
Hi, Patti!
Patti Ann LuPone (April 21, 1949):
Hi, Neil!
What if life were more exciting
More dramatic, intriguing, intense?
If every moment were nail-biting
Filled with ever-mounting danger and suspense?
And then just when you were in the most precarious position
You would get a brief intermission
Act two!
What if all of your colleagues were hotties
With freakishly flexible bodies
And none of them needed to sleep or eat or pee?
DANCERS: Source: LYBIO.net
We don't pee!
And if one day you feel kinda cruddy
You stay home and call your understudy
Yes, the role of him will now be played by me!
Actually, you know what? I'm feeling better now!
Are you sure? 'Cuz I can take the last verse.
No I'm good!
You just sound tired.
Go away- you threaten me!
What if life were more like theatre
With a simple motivation and a plot?
Don't we all wish life were neater?
But we know that in reality it's not
No, life is bleak and brutal and we carry from the cradle
The awareness that it's futile and invariably fatal
We muddle without rest but through the sadness and confusion
We huddle at the cesspit of our sadness and delusion

Societal Imperatives: Needs for an Educated Decomcracy.
Cross, K. Patricia
One of the perennial problems with universal education is the diversity in achievement it brings to the average classroom. Educational structures are needed that not only accept individual differences but also offer explicit recognition of their value to a democratic society. Young people growing up in the information society are going to have to know how to locate information when they need it, and how to analyze, synthesize, interpret, and apply information as it relates to their individual interests and potentials. The long-term improvement of education must be achieved by slow, complex actions built up through community support and strong leadership at the local level. Lifelong learning must be the goal for all educational systems. With this imperative, the rise of community colleges is significant. The challenge to community colleges is to prepare students for their future as lifelong learners and to instill positive attitudes toward learning. Such colleges can demonstrate to students that they are capable of learning and that learning is a useful, satisfying skill that will serve them well throughout their lives. Community colleges can provide the cognitive skills that serve as the basic tools for lifelong learning. (JD)

Ritz-Craft manufactured modular homes, via Connecticut Valley Homes, provide more options and less chaos than ever imagined. If that's not enough reason to explore this homebuilding option then maybe the following modular home advantages will win you over:
- Your home is built in a climate controlled environment eliminating the possible defects caused by weather. All in all, you end up with a better quality product.
- Consistent quality is not optional as many modular home manufacturers, such as Ritz-Craft, provide steady careers for experienced, skilled and highly trained employees.
- Quality control inspections mean that every home has it's own "traveler document" that provides a checklist for every task that must be performed. Every task must be signed off on by three people: the person who performed the task, that person's supervisor and the quality control inspector.
- These homes have superior strengths compared to those homes that are not modulars. How? They are built with more fasteners and framing to withstand transportation.
- Time is saved and the house is available sooner since both the home construction and building site preparation are completed at the same time.
- Modular homes allow for cost savings. Materials are bought in bulk at low cost, interest is saved on construction loans due to a lower time requirement and the house arrives to the building site 80-95% complete lowering the cost of on-site theft, vandalism and damaged materials.
- These homes are custom! Computer Aided Drafting allows for this to be possible. If you have a specific vision, create it!
- The Ritz-Craft modular home manufacturer is an Energy Star partner. They are proud to stamp your home with a logo that stands for energy efficient building methods and materials.
- Every Ritz-Craft home comes with a full, one-year limited warranty and a 10-year structural warranty. Also, the materials used to build the home, along with appliances, are covered by separate manufacturer warranties.

Where do you find nature? Bay Nature's Spring 2014 issue celebrates the idea that nature's where you look for it. Leath Tonino finds adventure and understanding in a hammock strung high in a redwood tree, above the bright lights and barking dogs of urban San Francisco. Ron Erskine finds solitude in the Orestimba Wilderness, the Bay Area's only state-designated wilderness area and a spot so lonely it can get a little unnerving. Kenneth Brower looks through the eyes of the legendary landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted, and finds beauty and enormous potential in a vision of the then-undeveloped East Bay Hills. We also go looking in the Bay, on a swim in the pond with the charismatic leopard shark and in the living shoreline.
April-June 2014
For spring 2014, Bay Nature goes camping in a tree in San Francisco, rests under the stars in the Orestimba Wilderness, and explores the founding vision of the East Bay Regional Parks.
Issue Content
The architect of urban butterfly habitat projects like Tigers on Market Street and the Green Hairstreak Corridor, and the restoration of Mission blues on Twin Peaks, Liam O'Brien is a man on a mission to prove that habitats for humans and habitats for butterflies aren't mutually exclusive.
It's sometimes hard to tell what Craig Anderson loves more: land, people, music, outdoor adventure, or his 29-year-old Toyota pickup. That's because whatever he's doing at any particular moment, he's doing it with great passion, keen intention, and a big heart.
A few years ago the State Coastal Conservancy went looking for something new: habitat restoration that would also address sea level rise. Two years into a pilot experiment, the results suggest that in the appropriate places this green climate adaptation might work.
Climate Change
We first encountered Cheyanna Washburn in her role as an intern with the California Phenology Project at the John Muir National Historic Site in her hometown of Martinez. Now a student at Diablo Valley College in botany and recreational therapy, Cheyanna found her path into the natural world at the alternative New Leaf Leadership Academy, […]
By the time you read this in April, the die will have been cast and the show — of unknown quality and duration — should be on. So head on out for a springtime pilgrimage, and while you're at it, why not share your best wildflower sightings with us and our readers?
Today, after 13 years of work by the Invasive Spartina Project and its partners to eliminate the invasive hybrid, the team is now into the rebuilding phase of its long-term plan, replanting the area with native cordgrass in hopes that it will reclaim its former territory.
Botany | The Bay
Leopard sharks are a shallow-water coastal species, with a range extending from southern Oregon to southern Baja California. They are the most abundant shark species in the San Francisco Bay.
The Bay | Wildlife
Moments of utter solitude are the Orestimba's calling card. Wherever you might travel in the American West, you are not likely to find a place more isolated.
My plan was really more of a prompt, a nudge from me to myself in the direction of urban-arboreal adventure. I'd wander San Francisco, neighborhood to neighborhood, park to park, paying attention to trees.
Urban Nature
In 1863, not a year after Thoreau's death, Frederick Law Olmsted, king of American landscape architecture, looked into the hills east of San Francisco Bay and saw that they were good. He imagined a park up there.

The GST (Goods and Service Tax) is introduced in India to eradicate the tax differences and difficulties across states and to implement the single taxation across the country. GST has a comprehensive benefit to the country in the long run. However, many sectors may experience positive or adverse effects in the near term, and we are going to discuss that below.
|Zero Rated
|Essential items including food(export, sez)
|Merit Rated
|Commonly used items(spice, tea, sugar, etc.)
|Standard Rated
|Bulk of goods and services which include fast moving consumer goods(smartphones, soaps)
|Demerit Rated
|Refrigerator, AC and aerated drinks
|Additional Cess
|Luxury cars, tobacco and aerated drinks
Banking Sector: Currently banking institutions are paying around 15% tax, but after the implementation of GST, they are required to pay 18% tax which has a negative impact.
Pharma Sector: Same as the Banking, Pharma companies also required to pay more taxes in GST taxation which causes an adverse impact on the sector as a whole.
Logistics: The primary beneficiary of GST taxation is the logistics industry as it removes the payment of taxes in different states with different tax rate and for the interstate transportation only IGST is paid to the central government, and no separate tax payment is required to pay for state government unlike before.
FMCG: The implementation of GST reduces the tax rate for FMCG companies leaving a positive impact. However, with the additional cess on the tobacco products and aerated drinks, FMCG companies may feel some tax pressure.
Telecom: As the taxation for Telecom under GST is higher than the previous tax, it may cause some adverse impact.
Auto: Currently tax rate on cars and bikes are higher compared to the GST taxation. However, implementation of additional cess for luxury cars has some negative consequences for the segment.
Cement and Real Estate:Cement sector will have a positive impact as we have to pay less tax under the GST Taxation and Real Estate have no significant impact because of the GST.

Before you know it, we're going to have a ROOF on our new house! I'm so excited! The men have worked hard on this house, but only during the lulls between other, ministry-related construction projects, so it's been a slow process. We've been living on the property, in our bodega/warehouse, for five and a half years now – it really is time for us to have a house, and amenities like interior walls!
The lumber for the roof was purchased back in August of last year, and has been sitting out drying (and getting rained on, and drying again) all this time.
Off and on, when they've had time over the past couple of months, the men have worked on planing the rough lumber. Once a large enough pile of planed boards was ready, they started staining them.
Gradually we are amassing a pile of dried, planed, bug-treated, stained boards. These will be the rafters of our roof, and will be visible from inside the house, as part of the ceiling.
If you're good with your imagination, you can look at these photos of the house, and imagine what it will look like with a ROOF and covered porches.
|Back porch-to-be
|Front of house (porch will be on the left)
So, there you go! A ROOF in the making!!!!

A couple weeks ago, I had a running-around day. I went to the nursing home, picked up a form and had to run it downtown... While I was there, I decided to give myself a beauty break. Uh, no, I'm not talking about a day at the salon (pedicures are my idea of hell!). I'm talking about a visit to the Art Museum. I went to the museum for that talk with Ohio artist, Susan Shie, a month or so ago. She was amazing. I wanted to see the full Earth Stories exhibit. Here are a few pics in no particular order...
And here's Susan Shie's piece in the collection. Uh, if you read my first Day of Beauty, you'll remember how much I like making myself part of the art (see my shadow?).
After the visit, I went next door to Glass Growers. If you've never been...go. I drop in every time I'm down that way because they always have something new and cool. I've mentioned before that I love to collect Erie stuff. We have a number of prints. Well, I bought a cool picture of Beach 10 on Presque Isle by Jason Floyd Lewis. (You can see my reflection in it as well! LOL)
If you're one of my Erie friends, head down to the Art Museum and then stop in and check out Glass Growers.

Veltins Bierhalle, a German-themed pub and restaurant from the owners of Renton's Berliner Pub, is still stuck in construction mode. A hopeful opening date was set for June, but it appears it'll be at least three more months before an opening in downtown Tacoma.
The extensive build-out and permitting has complicated the timeline for the downtown Tacoma building that had been vacant for years after Neener's closed at 2401 Pacific Ave. The building was in a sad state, with crumbling infrastructure that long had been neglected.
Right now, earthquake retrofitting and sprinkler updating are underway, but other large projects still need completing in the building that has been ripped down to the studs. Plans were redrawn and resubmitted this year, accounting for a big chunk of the delay.
Husband-wife owners Dennis and Lydia Mascarinas say an opening date is tough to predict, but the optimist in the family (Dennis) thinks a summer opening is possible while the realist (Lydia) thinks a fall opening looks more likely.
Veltins will be similarly themed as its sibling Berliner Pub - a Renton destination for beer, food and music of Germany.
In the Tacoma location, Lydia Mascarinas described a dining room with Bavarian style communal tables and a menu with brats, landjaeger, schnitzel, pretzels and house-made German specialties. Expect a family-friendly seating section.
If you're impatient for German dining, steer your car to Bruno's European Restaurant in Parkland. Order the jaeger schnitzel, hangover soup and cabbage rolls.
Find Bruno's at 10716 A St. S. (near 108th and Pacific); 253-719-7181 or brunoseuropeanrestaurant.com.
Beer update file: Also in downtown Tacoma, on the other side of Pacific Avenue, Odd Otter Brewing Company and Pacific Brewing & Malting Co. are working on openings this summer. Sixth Avenue's The Red Hot is preparing for its move to its new space next door.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, in a concurring opinion, said the government can regulate speech only in narrow, already established areas such as fraud, defamation and incitement.
"The Supreme Court vindicated the team's position that the First Amendment blocks the government from denying or cancelling a trademark registration based on the government's opinion", said Lisa Blatt, an attorney for the football team.
Tam has said he chose to call the band The Slants to reclaim a term some consider a derogatory reference to Asian people's eyes, and wear it as a "badge of pride".
The original lawsuit about the Redskins nickname was brought by plaintiff Amanda Blackhorse, who sued the team and claimed that the name "Redskins" disparaged Native Americans. "And hopefully today's decision will put a stop to the absurd practice of PTO examiners acting as formal speech police, Googling people to find out if they're the 'right kind" to receive a government benefit".
The Redskins made similar arguments after the trademark office ruled in 2014 that the name offends American Indians and canceled the team's trademark.
The Washington Redskins lost their trademark in 2014, a decision upheld by lower courts.More news: Germany clings on to beat Australia after keeper's blunders
More news: United States dollars 40K reward offered for information on Chinese scholar's kidnapping
More news: Nintendo Switch Gets Rocket League
He later wrote that, "The 'public expression of ideas may not be prohibited merely because the ideas are themselves offensive to some of their hearers'".
"Sorry if we try too hard / To take some power back for ours", Tam sings on the opening track "From the Heart", a catchy guitar-driven tune of post-punk.
The Supreme Court sided with the band, ruling the Lanham Act violates freedom of speech. And now with The Slants' win at the court, the Redskins team may soon be able to also get its name trademarked as well. If a "substantial composite, although not necessarily a majority, of the referenced group would find the proposed mark.to be disparaging in the context of contemporary attitudes", the trademark could not be registered.
Their fight wasn't meant to help sports teams like the Redskins. Those other protections can be found in states" laws and in licensing contracts between the Redskins and businesses that produce merchandise and apparel with "Redskins' on them. "The registration supplies the strongest source of trademark protection for the team".
"After an excruciating legal battle that has spanned almost eight years, we're beyond humbled and thrilled to have won this case at the Supreme Court". Don't be surprised if it surfaces again sooner rather than later.
The Supreme Court also ruled on another free speech case on Monday, striking down a North Carolina law banning convicted sex offenders from Facebook and other social media services that play a vital role in modern life.

When it's that time to move your child into a room of their own you may feel overwhelmed with the options you have in order to make it comfortable, modern and to everyone's taste. This will deter many parents because it can be a very costly task so you need to ensure you make the right decision first time because you would hate to furnish it with bedroom sets and kids furniture and then have to redo it all again if it doesn't look right.
twin size bunk bed mattresses – credit
You can minimise the chance of error on choosing kid bedding sets by doing your research, shopping around furniture stores online as well as offline stores will allow you to see the whole range that is available. From here you can compare the different styles and prices of kids bedroom furniture so you can get the best looking items at the best prices, you should always set your budget before you begin searching because you can get carried away with spending money on items that are not really necessary. At least by working out how much you can afford you can be sure that you wont spend too much making you have to budget after buying them, if you do set a budget make sure that you get the vital things first as you would hate to run out of money and still have essentials to buy such as a bed, either twin size bed or bunk bed.
When you are ready to begin looking for furniture you should take the size of the room into consideration, if they have a small bedroom you should not buy a lot of furniture to make it look messy or even smaller, just because the room is small it doesn't mean that you cannot utilise the space to make it look bigger. You can choose twin size bunk bed mattress for your kids. It will save more space of the bedroom. You also have to consider the age and gender of the child, if they have any favourite TV shows you may want to theme it based on them but you have to be careful when choosing a theme because if they go off it you will have to redecorate so you may be safer going for a general theme such as a colour or two which can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
If your child is old enough to talk then you can get a great deal of information from them so you can guarantee that it will be to their liking but be careful as they often go over board on items that they may not even need. The main thing that you should be considering when choosing your children's furniture is if it will make them comfortable, that is the overall achievement at the end of the day so if you don't succeed you will have to do it all over again. If possible you are recommended to make a plan before you even spend any money so that you are sure that everything will go together and is inside your budget and there should be no reason why you wouldn't succeed in this daunting task.

Leading Tips To Assist You Get Fit And Get FitYou can start a fitness routine. No matter your health or age you can succeed at making your body healthier. A healthy body requires exercise in order to function at its best. It does take some time and commitment but we have made it a little easier for your and outlined some ways to incorporate a work out into your life.
Don't go for an all or nothing approach when it comes to fitness. Even if you can't fit in thirty minutes of exercise every day, that doesn't mean you shouldn't bother trying at all. Even if you can only get your thirty minutes in once a week, it's better than nothing. You can always work up to more workouts as time goes on.
A great way to get fit is to perform reps in the ten to twelve range when you are lifting weights. You might not be able to lift as much weight, but your muscles will become more toned. The amount of reps you do is very important in getting fit.
Fitness relies heavily on physical activity in the form of exercise. You should exercise once a day for at least 30 minutes. If you initial can't exercise for 30 minutes, try starting with 5 minutes, then slowly work your way up to 30 each day. Once you reach 30 days, try doing more strenuous activity or exercise for a longer time period.
Hiking is a great way to stay fit without having to spend a day at the gym. visit the up coming internet site is a great place to hike, sinc most of them have well groomed, predesignated trails. Not only will you get a cardiovascular workout, but there's a good chance you will also take in some spectacular views.
Work opposing muscle groups back to back. Doing this will help save you time in the gym. For example, work your biceps and then move directly to your triceps. While you are working one muscle, the other one will get a chance to rest. This will help you to eliminate rest breaks between sets.
You should change your fitness routine periodically so that you continue to benefit from exercising. If http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/beauty/skincare/a27475/facial-massage-exercise-benefits-for-skin/ use the same routine for too long your body becomes used to it and the benefits start to decrease. Adding a new exercise can also be fun and keep you from getting bored with your workouts.
A great fitness tip to build up your forearm muscles is to start doing wrist curls. Wrist curls are great because they don't require much effort or very heavy weights. All you do to perform a wrist curl is to curl your wrists while holding a dumbbells.
Devote at least a few minutes of each day to exercising. Sustaining exercise at a moderate or more intense level for 10 minutes at a time has proven beneficial for health. Most people can incorporate 10 minutes of exercise simply climbing stairs or walking.
A great fitness tip is to perform good mornings. Good mornings are a great exercise that focuses on your lower back and your hamstrings. You simply put a barbell on your shoulders, then slowly bend forward. It's important that you don't arch your back or else you could get a hernia.
Chocolate milk can increase muscle gain. That is right, chocolate milk! Work yourself to failure in your weight routine, which is the point you can't do any more reps, then drink a pint of 1 percent chocolate milk or if you prefer, a supplement will work as well. You can increase muscle mass at a faster rate from hitting them with nutrients that they need when they need them the very most.
When exercising frequently, it is important to give the body breaks to rebuild the damaged muscles. If not, the body will not have time to grow. If one wants to take breaks while still being able to exercise, it can be done by alternating the muscle groups that one exercises. This will allow for the best of both worlds.
Here is a fitness tip! When stretching your muscles before or after your workout, hold each stretch position for at least 30 seconds. In the same way that it takes time to build muscles or lose weight, effective stretching does not happen instantly. Giving each pose at least a half a minute of stretching will ensure your muscles get thoroughly limber.
Keep a good pace! Reciting the alphabet can get you on your way to being in great physical shape. How? A simple way to know if you are exercising at the correct pace is to say the letters out loud - if you cannot say them without puffing - you are working too hard! Working too hard can lead to strain.
Use a combination of upper ab exercises and lower ab exercises to work out your entire core. Sit-ups and crunches can lead to better upper abs, but ignore the lower abs. However, there are many other exercises that work out these areas, such as planking and leg lifts. A combination of the two can lead to a more well-rounded individual.
Count backwards when doing repetitions. When you are doing exercises that require numerous repetitions, counting backwards can increase your motivation. When you count forwards, your mind only focuses on how many you have already done, however just like the countdown to midnight on New Year's Eve, counting backwards builds anticipation as you get closer to zero.
A good way to work out when it comes to fitness is through swimming. In order to build speed in swimming, it is necessary to develop ankle flexibility. The more flexible your ankles are the easier it would be for you to propel yourself through the water as they act as flippers.
If you apply these tips, you should be able to live a healthier life. Fitness helps you look great but it also helps you age gracefully and live longer. Consider other healthy habits such as eating better or quitting smoking. Fitness is only the beginning of a journey that will take you to a place where you can love your body.

Do you use online videos as a marketing tool? If you don't, then there are a lot of potential customers you're not reaching. Many people don't listen to radios or read newspapers. The current generation is online. Keep reading this article to find out some ideas so you can utilize video marketing in your favor.
Video marketing shouldn't be scary. Creating videos is as simple as having a tripod and video camera. Demonstrate to your viewers the production and design processes that go into the finished product, or explain more about your organization and its values.
Video marketing allows you to reach your audience in a very real way. Request for your viewers to send questions they may have concerning your products or general industry questions. Then, attempt to answer these questions as best as you can. You can even give away freebies to viewers who send in the best questions!
When shooting a video it is okay to keep things simple with your equipment. Having a good looking video with no good information is worthless. Even large corporations, like Dell, have benefited from simple videos produced by single employees.
Do not spend a lot of money on video production for marketing content. The production value of your video is not related to your results. You should focus on the quality of your content and on sharing your video efficiently. Even large corporations, like Dell, have benefited from simple videos produced by single employees.
Video marketing is characterized by the short period in which you must grab the attention of viewers. The initial 15 seconds are the make or break period. During this time, a video teaser should be used to draw in viewers.
If you don't have a huge budget, don't fret. It is possible to create interesting, professional videos without going for broke. You don't necessarily need professional equipment; just make sure the picture is focused and balanced. You don't need anything fancy for a good quality video. Just act like you usually do and speak clearly to the camera. Perhaps you don't need to do so, however. A slideshow or screencast can get the message across in some cases.
An excellent tip for people starting out with video marketing is to choose great titles. Make sure it relates to your video and is easy to remember. This is what makes them more interested in the topic you're discussing. Spend some time thinking about smart titles for your marketing videos.
Stick with the topic at hand within every video. When you don't prepare it is easy to chase rabbits. Work on creating brief outlines of each video and refer to them often. By not deviating from your plan, your video will be of much higher quality.
Create interesting content. When making a video for your business, make it fun, interesting, or newsworthy. Millions of people visit YouTube every day, but people won't watch your video if it doesn't interest them. People go online for entertainment, not sales pitches. The more interesting your content, the more viewers you are going to get.
Ask your friends, family and colleagues to assist your video marketing efforts. Search for someone who smiles often, dresses nicely, talks clearly, and seems comfortable being recorded. It is great to bring in various employees on your videos.
Use the tool of video marketing to tell the world about the product you are promoting. Providing demonstrations and product insight engenders a sense of confidence among your customer base. Seeing a product work live can increase your sales.
If you are hosting the video on your website, have a subscription form for your mailing list right below the video. People normally want to register for further information when they like your videos.
Use a consistent approach in each of your videos. Videos that are funny can actually be quite effective. You need to consider what you are offering your customers, as well as exactly which demographic you're attempting to pull. Use this to figure out what you're going to make your videos like. They can be more serious, or more fun, depending on who you're trying to work with.
Sharing links to your video is one of the keys to success. Send an email with it to your family and friends. Create a blog post that describes the video on your website. Get the word out to clients through emails. Post the videos on YouTube, Facebook, or any of the other popular media-sharing domains. Spread the word out there!
Video marketing offers you a short time to capture attention. The initial 15 seconds of the videos you make are the most important. You should use an unusual perspective or hook to draw them in for the duration of the video.
When making your videos, it is important to be transparent and be yourself. Being genuine will appeal to potential customers. As you get your customers to know who you are, they probably won't buy a similar product from someone they don't really think they know. You will associate yourself with your product or service.
To make your video marketing efforts successful, you have to make sure you're real and above-board. Do not have hidden agendas to your videos. Make sure you make yourself clear that you're selling your product. You should always interact with customers if they comment on your videos. Work with other business owners and become an expert at what you do.
Host video contests in order to increase your site's number of videos. You can ask people to do something easy like tell a joke or a story, or you can seek demos or how-to videos. These videos can also be excellent ways to learn more about your viewers, and vice versa.
Don't assume you need glitzy, high-tech scenery and fancy special effects to make a persuasive video. There is no need for expensive equipment if your video is in focus and balanced. You do not need to be overly fancy either. Just breathe and talk directly into the camera. Perhaps you don't need to do so, however. You can just use pictures or a PowerPoint in the video.
Start your video message with a greeting to your potential customer. Tell them who you are, and about your business before you get to your content. At the end of each video, say farewell in a cordial way, and repeat your business name as a way to reinforce your identity.
Everyone enjoys a good story. What kind of stories are you able to tell about your line of business or what you have to offer? Be sure to share videos of any charitable event in which your company has participated. Include customer stories too.
Video Marketing
Make a video detailing how to utilize your product correctly. You are going to be resolving problems of both your existing customers and your customers to be.
These days, it is critical that businesses utilize video marketing as a promotional tool. Traditional marketing is dead. Utilizing the Internet is critical to connecting with the modern masses. Apply the tips you have learned here to run a successful video marketing campaign.

I tried to speak to you today
Instead I hung my head in shame.
How presumptuous of me
To think that in your presence
I could say anything at all.
For how could words encompass
The unutterable.
How could my lips give shape
To the silent beating
Of my heart.
I am a temple
And you speak me.
I can only lay down my words
Rest this tongue
And listen.
Here you may share how the words Eckhart Tolle have affected your life.

DSHEA gives authority to dietary supplement manufacturers and/or distributors to make statements of nutritional support, but requires the company to possess "adequate" substantiation before it makes the claim. The FDA and FTC agree that substantiation files should contain: 1) the Notification letter of the statement(s) of nutritional support submitted to the FDA, 2) the identity and quantity of ingredients covered by the statement, 3) evidence of safety, 4) scientific substantiation for claims made, 5) an assurance of GMP compliance from the manufacturer, 6) an interpretive summary of key evidence and/or scientific research authored by an expert reviewer, and 7) documentation of the expert reviewer's qualifications.
The dietary supplement industry can relatively easily meet most of these recommendations. However, the industry is skeptical of the feasibility of including in its structure/function claim substantiation files an interpretive summary of the key evidence and scientific substantiation authored by an expert reviewer. This increases costs associated with product marketing and distribution, decreases the flexibility by which a company chooses to evaluate scientific literature prior to making claims, and limits use of products for which more anecdotal than scientific literature is available.
The regulatory agencies believe that the interpretive summary could assist companies in drafting claims that accurately reelect the supporting evidence and be a starting point for the FDA and the FTC in assessing dietary supplement claims during any subsequent investigative or litigation process. Now the burden is on industry to provide scientific substantiation to an inquiring agency and to explain its significance. This is in direct contravention from the literal reading and intent of DSHEA. It also shifts the financial burden associated with data analysis to the private sector. FDA and FTC arguments that this self-regulation is positive for the industry cloaks the reality of an agenda that propels dietary supplements further from food regulation and closer to regulation as drugs.
Neither the FDA nor the FTC have stated what quantity of scientific evidence it requires to "adequately" substantiate a structure/function claim. However, the FDA has stated that claims should not be made based only on preliminary data, and the appearance of conflicting data should prompt the company making the claim to conduct further research. For further information, please contact Weaver & Amin (www.weaveramin.com).

You have always been told to eat your "greens." Vegetables are very good for our bodies but there is another green that is just as good for you if not better. It is also green and it is called Chlorella. Discovered in the 19th century, Chlorella is a superfood supplement that comes from green algae. It was found to be naturally high in protein so it became a natural food source. In the late 60's, it was discovered that many people were reaping healing benefits from it. People claimed it helped with the side effects of chemotherapy and even helped to slow cancer growth. It quickly became a popular food and dietary supplement. Today, you too can receive the benefits of this amazing source. If you are feeling tired, run down, have poor digestion or anemia, you may want to give Chlorella a try. These are only a few of the conditions that Chlorella can help treat and prevent. It is loaded with antioxidants that help the body get rid of free radicals. It is a complete protein and contains all kinds of vitamins such as B, C and E. It also contains minerals such as zinc and iron. It is used as a natural way to increase the level of albumin in the bloodstream. Albumin is a protein that can help protect against all kinds of diseases.
Chlorella is used to help improve the body's immune system. It has also been used to treat several conditions such as certain cancers, ulcers, liver damage, infections, high cholesterol, inflammation of the joints, asthma, constipation and more.
You can get this "superfood" in several different forms. It is available in pill form, liquid extracts and powder form. Make sure to read the labels carefully so you can know how much of it to take. Many people use it everyday and mix it with drinks or bake with it. You may start to feel your symptoms subside with just a few uses. Chlorella goes to work detoxifying the body and regulating blood sugar. You will feel you have more energy and less of the sluggish feeling.
Even if you have no health problems to worry about, taking Chlorella still makes a good natural dietary supplement. It appears there are no side effects to taking it. But if you develop hives or a rash, you may be allergic and you should seek medical attention.
You can find Chlorella in many health food stores or online including this store. Take charge of your health and feel good again by using this powerful superfood supplement.

This past weekend was definitely one for the record books. I had been in a bit of a funk and then I forced my self to go out with my friends on Friday night. A couple weeks ago, we all bought tickets to go to Wits, but I just wasn't feeling it. After selling off my ticket twice, I eventually found it back in my possession, so I figured I should go and socialize with my friends who I don't get to see very often.
A few of the girls met for a prosecco happy hour before our Green Line journey to St. Paul began. The train ride wasn't so bad and I would probably do it again to save on cab fare.
When we arrived in St. Paul we met up with the rest of the group for a quick dinner before heading over to the Fitzgerald Theatre. I had never been to the Fitzgerald, but it's a beautiful old theatre. We sat in the upper balcony and had a great view of the show. Eric Stonestreet, Cam from Modern Family, and Brandi Carlile were the shows guests.
Brandi played several songs off her new album and Eric was just funny as could be. The two played really well off each other too.
I had never been to a live taping of a radio show, so it was fun to see the interaction between everyone and how a radio show is put together. If you have some time, I suggest listening to a few of their shows, or even going to one.
Saturday was a day I had been looking forward to for a little while now. I'd had my eye on some court side Timberwolves tickets for quite some time and made the purchase while I was on vacation. That decision couldn't have come at a better time since Kevin Garnet came back to MN last week!
I had bought these tickets as a birthday present and tried to hold off sharing the details of the tickets, but my excitement got the best of me and I blabbed. The fun thing was, he didn't understand just how close the tickets actually were to the court, and the home team bench.
We started out by going to the Lexus Club locker room where we were given our own locker to store our jackets before being taken upstairs for dinner and drinks.
There were several different stations with all sorts of different food. Salads, steak, pasta, queso, cake, veggies, the options were endless.
As we were enjoying our meal, Greg Jennings of the Minnesota Vikings came in with his son and sat right next to us.
With a few minutes left before tip off, we headed in to the stadium to find our seats. They were even better than I had expected.
The Wolves put up a decent fight, but I was informed that those Grizzlies are a pretty decent team, so the loss was somewhat expected. Especially after KG was kicked out of the game.
As someone who is not a big basketball fan, this was one heck of a fun time and I'm so happy that I splurged on these tickets.
Sunday was another milestone day. My car hit 111,111 miles.
Happy Monday!

LONG BEACH, Calif. — There is a slight paunch and a tilt in his gait, the result of all the knee surgeries that serve as penance for the years he spent as a major league catcher. But Gary Carter, even at 54, has the same camera-ready smile, the same golly-gee enthusiasm that he carried into rookie ball after graduating from - where else? - Sunny Hills High School.
Carter, the Hall of Famer and former Met who had always seemed impossibly upbeat as a player, is trying to view his latest career turn the same way.
He is the manager of the Orange County Flyers of the independent Golden League. It is the lowest rung of professional baseball, filled with castoffs and others trying to keep alive their dreams of reaching the big leagues. Carter is no different - he is striving to make it back to the major leagues as a manager.
He said returning to his roots in Fullerton, the Southern California suburb where he grew up, allowed him the chance to reconnect with his brother for the first time in years, and to be near his son, who lives in Venice while he tries to break into acting.
But when the conversation veers toward the reasons he is here - that neither the Mets, for whom he spent two seasons as a successful minor league manager, nor anyone else will offer him a big-league job - the smiles, the enthusiasm and the word play disappear.
There is no gilding the resentment toward Mets management, the incredulousness that others - including Joe Girardi and Willie Randolph - were hired as major league managers without a day's experience at that job at any level, and the disbelief that his Cooperstown-worthy playing credentials do not count for more.
Though he contacted the Mets about replacing Randolph before he was fired, setting off a wave of criticism when he volunteered that information on a radio interview last month, Carter realizes that Citi Field, the Mets new ballpark, is not going to be his future home.
