My First Tornado
by, 25-Mar-2017 at 02:04 (580 Views)
Well I was running errands at 3:00 this afternoon and I drove through some strong winds with heavy rain and hail.
I thought it would be funny if it was an tornado.
Turns out I was on the free way by my house and the eye of an EF-0 tornado was passing 4 houses east of mine.
By brother was at my house and saw the large limbs falling of the tree about 4 houses to the east and was surprised he could see that through the heavy rain and hail.

I like this image a lot since it seems somewhat surreal and hyper realistic. I am also a scuba diver so I appreciate the location of the shot.

2013 Scion FR-S: Guy Magnet
August 27, 2012
Dear Single Women Everywhere:
Want to meet a man? Drive a Scion FR-S.
Friday afternoon I had four different men try to talk to me, ranging in age from cute-boy-youngish to way-too-oldish. Three were on foot in parking lots and on the street, one rolled down his window on the freeway, all while I was driving our long-term FR-S.
The last time I remember so many guys being interested in a car during a few hour span was when I was driving a new Plymouth Prowler.
I am old.

Malaysia will stand firm to protect its interests: Hishammuddin
Malaysia's bilateral partners should consider the impact of their policies on Malaysia holistically, and not just pick and choose issues to focus on, Defence minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said. Responding to questions on the European Union's decision to curb imports of palm oil, he said the EU decision would affect 650,000 smallholders and over 3.2 million Malaysians. "So when we look at the defence relationship with Europe, we cannot detach that from economic considerations as well. "I think I will not be carrying out my responsibility as the minister of Defence in dealing with certain countries in Europe, when this decision (to curb imports of palm oil) affects our own people," he said here. On Tuesday, Plantation Industries and Commodities minister Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong was reported to have said that Malaysia would impose trade restrictions on the EU if its decision on the palm oil issue was not reversed. Hishammuddin said he too had raised the issue with his French counterpart, Florence Parly in a meeting here last month. "I explained why we take this issue seriously and although we did not link it up to French assets, we have to stand firm when it comes to the interests of our country and our people. "Those who want to have strong bilateral relations with us, we ask that you do not just look at economic considerations as separate from other matters, especially when it comes to defence," he said. On whether negotiations for a multi-role combat aircraft (MRCA) with France would be jeopardised due to the palm oil situation, Hishammuddin simply said such negotiations would take years. "As you know the fighter jets the French are looking at (the Rafale), are also competing with the British who have left the EU, so that has to be taken into consideration. "We do not have to decide on the MRCA now, let it take its course, but I would like to see our bilateral partners to not look at Malaysia as only a country they can sell defence assets to," he added. France's Rafale jet, built by Dassault Aviation, had until recently been seen as the frontrunner in Malaysia's plan to buy up to 18 new fighter planes in a deal potentially worth over $2 billion.

Valdorian Age - Rising Power on the Frontier
Alderman Faraji Mansa
Alderman for Gibberish
A native of Abyzinia who recently relocated to Elweir for undisclosed reasons, was elected only three months ago. He promised to return the slave market to Mansblood Square and make sure the guard treated foreigners, especially those who now reside permanently in Elweir fairly. Everyone knows these are ridiculous promises for an alderman to make – he certainly doesn't wield that much influence with the Prince. But … Faraji must be a very wealthy man (after all, he bought enough votes to win the election) so he must other types of influences he can wield.

This weekend we picked "Secret Santa's" at my mom's house. ML picked Lori's name and we had to switch names privately to avoid any awkward encounters. Lori wasn't there to pick any names. So perhaps, she might end up selecting ML's name after all is said and done. She, of course, wouldn't be happy shopping for ML. Basically,they have avoided each other since everything came to the light and Christmas Eve will be the first time they are in the same room together for any amount of time. Lori says she'll be fine, but I'm sure you'll be able to cut the tension with a knife. My family still doesn't know what happened between ML and Lori. The holidays are beginning to feel overwhelming!! We are already going out of town this week to skip the Thanksgiving drama. And now, I'm so close to skipping out on Christmas as well! I don't want to ruin the holidays for everyone and I can already tell I'm going to be stressed out the entire time. Though I want to enjoy the holidays with my family, maybe it's selfish of me to hope that ML and Lori can ever be in the same room again. Just when I start think that life is starting to resemble normalcy, I'm reminded that it's not.

"I'm Not Pregnant…Just Fat"
Posted in Family, Giving Thanks, Me Myself I, Self Improvement on August 6, 2009| 3 Comments »
No happier words have ever been spoken! This is what I told ML after our latest pregnancy scare ( these happen often!). You see, my period is always erratic – sometimes arriving late, other times, not arriving at all. When it didn't arrive this month, at first I didn't panic. But after noticing my expanding waistline, I started to get slightly nervous, though it was simple to explain the extra pounds to a summer full of eating out, BBQ's, cocktails and limited exercise. However, when ML also took notice of the extra pounds, stating casually, " I think you are pregnant.", I freaked out!!!!
Shame on Me
Posted in Family, Rant on July 14, 2009| 8 Comments »
As if things couldn't get any more complicated, my parents have managed to screw me over once again. At some point, I need to start questioning whether I'm exclusively to blame for all the bad things that happen to me. Remember, how I paid for my parent's emergency trip? Well, I did this by giving them my Visa Debit card number (since I was not with them at the time of the booking). So today, some "mystery" charge posts to my account in the amount of $600. After a lot of time and research to figure out the origin for the mysterious charge, through the vendor, I came to learn that the transaction was for a plane ticket for my stepfather's sister-in-law. In addition, there was another $600 pending for tickets for his brother as well!! I tried calling my parents, but they have yet to return my phone calls.
Now, I will have to go through the hassle of reporting the fraudulent transaction, waiting for my account to be made whole (who knows how long that will take!) and being without a bank card for a week (I was not expecting the $600 debit so I have no money for food, gas, anything – and of course, I'm still sitting the kids!). Not to mention, the overdraft fees that will eventually be charged to my account. My question is WHY would my parents continue to screw me over like this? And more importantly, WHY would I put myself in situations where they could do just that?! It's like I don't learn my lesson the first, second or tenth time they do this to me. It's not even about the money. It's about the lack of consideration or care for my well-being. At this point, I'm not even angry (as I should be), I'm just numb. Shame on me for doubting their ability to disappoint time and time again.
When it Rains, It Pours!
Posted in Family, Giving Thanks, Marriage, Me Myself I, Separation on July 14, 2009| 3 Comments »
So much has happened since my last post. Earlier last week, things took an "interesting" turn with ML. I was on the verge of making a rash decision when all hell broke loose with my family. Right after the turn of events with ML, my stepfather was hospitalized. I missed work the following day to be of assistance to my parents while they stayed overnight at the hospital. Luckily, all the tests came back perfectly normal. Sanity was somewhat restored. I also met up with ML's therapist (for the first time) and my therapist in order to discuss the next few months. I'm glad I was able to talk to both sides of the equation and get their input. I'm feeling more comfortable with the way things are shaping at the moment. In addition, I finally told to my mother about our separation, though I did not share the reasons surrounding it. She was saddened and urged me to try to work things out with him. I told her our marriage has hit a very rough patch, but that we welcome all her prayers. She promised to pray for us. And just like that, the secret was out and a big burden was lifted from shoulders. I was also amazed at the outpouring of love and support from my group, online and "real world" friends during the week. I'm so blessed to have such an incredible support team rallying around me!
But alas, when it rains, it pours. Just when things started to calm down, on Friday we received the terrible news that my stepfather's father passed away from a sudden cardiac arrest overseas. Since my parents filed for bankruptcy, they no longer have credit cards to pay for this emergency trip overseas. Of course, I stepped in to help with their expenses, flight arrangements and childcare. So after a whirlwind few days, my parents have left the country, I am short almost $2K and I've been put in charge of a rambunctious preteen and a too –grown-for- her- own -good teenager for the next two weeks. Because of all the chaos, my issues with ML have taken a seat in the back burner. In a way, I'm thankful these events with my family prevented me from making yet another crazy decision in reaction to ML's actions. Despite my rant last week, I am not ready to let my marriage go. However, I realize that I can't want this badly enough for the both of us, ML needs to want this too. And his commitment to the relationship/marriage will show itself in time.
Needless to say, you'll be hearing very little from me in the next few weeks. Between babysitting my siblings and figuring out my next move, I will have very little time to update my blog or touch base with my fellow bloggers. However, I will still keep you all in my thoughts and I hope you keep me, ML and my family in your thoughts as well. Thanks again for all the support and I hope you all continue to have a wonderful summer!
Only Boys Allowed

ML left this morning for his two week long "Boy's Trip" to South America. Though I've known about this trip for quite some time, the day has finally arrived and I did not take it so well. I basically broke down in tears and pleaded with ML not to go (I didn't win that battle). Everything about this trip is triggering. The fact that it's a "boy's trip" and all the boys are single and notorious ladies men. The fact that it's a two week long trip (even our honeymoon wasn't that long!). And last but not least, the fact that I can guarantee that there will be plenty of scantily clad women. Everything about this trip has triggered me to a codie frenzy.
Where Does the Resentment Go?
Posted in Darkness, Family, Marriage, Sex Addiction on June 15, 2009| 3 Comments »
At my suggestion, ML went away for a weekend getaway with his family. He wasn't planning on going, but I told him it would be nice for him to spend some quality time with his parents, sisters, and nephews. While ML was enjoying the sun with his family, I spent a miserable night with my mother. As much as I dislike my in-laws at the moment, there is no denying how close they are as a family unit. Definitely, nothing like my family. So when ML called raving about the wonderful time he was having with his family, I got very nasty with him over the phone and rained on his parade. It was not my initial intention to turn on him about his decision to spend time with his family, but I couldn't help it. It's not his fault that I had a terrible argument with my mother the previous night, but I feel like it is his fault that my already dysfunctional family has another reason to be dysfunctional. I resent that we are still able to go on vacations, spend holidays, and celebrate birthdays and graduations with his family. And yet, we are unable to do those same things with mine. I feel that he has forever ruined those special moments for me. I hate that his family knows the ugly truth and still embraces him, while my family is still in the dark (for his own protection). Any being the irrational, volatile person that my mother is, I wouldn't dare confide the truth without severe consequences.
In my efforts to restore the balance, I try to "punish" him by not accompanying him to his family's events and such. But, his family (knowing of our separation) doesn't pressure him about my whereabouts like my family does (who think that ML dislikes them because of his absence). It's all just a big mess! I wish I could be happy that he has a good relationship with his family. But honestly, I can't muster up any happiness for him. Why should he be able to have an honest relationship with his family? Why did he have to crap all over what little is left of mine? I love ML and I know he's really trying to work on himself and save our marriage, but what if I can't let go of this resentment? I succeeded in making him feel terrible after our conversation. He pleaded with me on ways he could make things better for me. Should he talk to my parents? Should he approach Lori? "What can I do?" he kept asking. I'm not sure he could ever make it better. I feel like the resentment goes into hiding, but then it suddenly rears its ugly head. Will every holiday, birthday, anniversary and celebration be just another reminder of how ML failed me? Some days, I worry that I may never be able to let go of this resentment. I pray that my Higher Power grants me true forgiveness because I can't seem to get there on my own.
Broken Wedding Dreams
Posted in Family, Marriage, Rant on June 13, 2009| 2 Comments »
Lori has a complex. She has been the scapegoat of the family for quite some time. She's doing much better now, but when we are all together, it's easy for her (or any of us) to fall back into old familial roles. Zoe's graduation last night was no exception. Lori has known that I've been resentful of my mother, especially in regards to my wedding, for a long time. When I got engaged, my mother couldn't be less interested in helping me plan a wedding. Though she badgered me for years to get married (because I was "living in sin"), when my engagement came around , nothing was planned, nothing was prepared. Usually the Mother-of-the-Bride is all over that kind of stuff (especially when it's your first daughter's wedding), but she didn't want to be a part of it. I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of support and decided to elope instead. After we announced our elopement to both families, ML's family insisted on throwing us a party. They didn't mind financing the event (knowing my mother's financial situation), but wanted my mother to be actively involved in planning the party. My mother didn't like the idea one bit feeling she would be indebted to ML's family. So despite not having the money to help pay for the party, she refused to let the other family finance it (even though her second wedding was at the expense of my stepfather's family). So the ball was dropped on the wedding party idea, and my nuptials came and went without much mention.
This is a recurring theme with my mother. All my life, my mother has "dropped the ball" on her kids. Everything with the church (or herself) took precedence over our well being. Whether it meant changing school districts right before our final school year or paying hundreds of dollars to attend church-sponsored events and then saying there's no money to help my sister with rent or college, these are just two examples of how my mother operates, but the list goes on and on. Despite all this, I made excuses for her, always pleading her case. But something about my wedding (even though its a moot point considering everything that's come to light with ML's addiction) and her lack of support really changed my perspective. It was the one time I expected her to be supportive of me and she completely let me down. Knowing all this, Lori found ways to bring the subject up last night.
I just don't have much to add to this. I'm upset that Lori bullied me into bringing this topic to light. I know the way she handles her problem is through "attack mode", but that's not the way I operate. I was trying to deal with my resentments on my own because I knew I wouldn't get the closure I needed from my mother. Now, she's managed to show me an even uglier side of herself. I don't feel better for getting it off my chest, if anything I feel worse because now I dislike her just a bit more than I did before. I didn't want that to happen. I want some sort of relationship with my mother, even if it's a limited one. Imagine! The wedding is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't even want to mention all the anger I have towards her for throwing the problem of Lori on my shoulders. Though I know my husband's addiction would have surfaced one way or another, it would not have manifested itself with Lori. Just one of the may things I don't bother telling my mother. Because really, what's the point?

Kala Ukulele has just released their latest invention: the Ka uBass.
The uBass is an instrumental fusion with surprisingly cool results. This instrument produces a full low end and even with the 16 frets and diminished size it functions just like a bass guitar.
The uBass was formed as a collaboration between Kala and Road Toad music and is built on a baritone ukulele body with a 20 inch neck (both are solid mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard) and produces a sound somewhere between a bass guitar and an upright bass.
Along with extreme portability, the uBass also features:
- Custom Hipshot tuners
- Proprietary polyurethane strings
- Passive Shadow Pickup system with 4 individual piezoelectric elements
- Rosewood fingerboard and bridge on a solid mahogany body
The uBass retails at $599 and comes with a custom carry case.

1) Hey Iain, For our readers can you let us know your role at Asus?
My job role and responsibility is to coordinate the component product marketing activities and Press relations for the UK, that includes Motherboards, VGA, Networking, LCD, ODD, Audio and Multimedia products.
2) As ASUS claim, all motherboards within warranty have a 5 working day turn around, what's the average percentage of which this has happened since starting this claim?
This process now includes our VGA products too, and so far we've not experienced the process taking longer than 5 days in more than a handful of cases. Obviously this process is new, but it's certainly becoming a lot more reliable than our previous.
3) Do Asus have any plans to move into any other area's? such as PSU's, Hard drives or RAM?
Storage and RAM isn't an area that we're planning to move towards, however we have released our own PSU's previously, though they aren't available in the UK at the moment.
4) How long is it until USB3.0 becomes mainstream on Asus motherboards?
Right now. USB 3.0 is being incorporated on each of our AMD based motherboards moving forward, and is already available on our H55 / H57 / P55 and X58 ranges.
5) What can we expect from Asus in the upcoming months and later this year, is there anything you can reveal to our readers?
We've got some really exciting graphics products upcoming, including the ARES graphics card which is based on 2 x 5870's on one card, as well as the awesome Rampage III Extreme. With digital phases, it's going to be a world record breaker.
6) Working for the one of the world's best regarded motherboard manufacturers, you must have a keen interest in components and a kick ass rig?
Heh, my previous rig was pretty awesome, but I've had to downgrade the looks and upgrade the performance recently. Im currently running a Core i7 940 on a P6T Deluxe with a GTX 285, a bit of a performance upgrade from my QX9650 on a Rampage Extreme and a pair of 4870's in Crossfire. I've attached a few pictures of my old rig.
7) Choose one: Intel / AMD then ATI / Nvidia
I couldn't possibly choose, at the moment I'm running an Intel platform in my main system, but AMD in my media system with Nvidia graphics on the main rig and ATI on the media system!
8) Sum up why readers should choose Asus
ASUS products are without a doubt the most innovative and exciting. At the forefront of technological advances, ASUS constantly provide new innovations and products that are reliable, safe and offer the best possible performance.
Thanks for taking the time out to speak to us Iain, many thanks!
Our response: A true gentlemen! Hopefully that gives you an insight into the life of worker in the hectic industry!

Seminar or Info Session
Finnish Education Symposium: A World Class System with Innovative Pedagogy
Date: 5.3.2016
Time: Morning 9.30-12.00 / Afternoon 13.00-15.30
Place: Novotel Dubai World Trade Centre
For whom: Schools or educational institutions
Further information: Mark Curcher , email@example.com
Novotel Dubai World Trade Centre
Saturday 5th March 2016
Morning Session 9:30 – 12:00
Afternoon Session 13:00 – 15:30
Please select one.
In the last decade Finnish education has been in the spotlight due to its results in international evaluations such as the OECD PISA and TIMSS. There has been particular interest because much of what happens in Finland would seem to go against the grain of initiatives set to raise standards in other countries.
In this free symposium from Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) in Finland you will learn what it is that makes Finnish education different. We will look at the curriculum, pedagogy and beliefs that underpin the system and the teacher training and professional development opportunities offered. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and explore ways that they might take some of these ideas back to their own practice and institutions.
Speakers include
Dr. Carita Prokki – Director of Global Education
Mark Curcher – Program Director, 21st Century Educators
All participants will receive a personal certificate of attendance at the symposium.
Places are limited and registration is required.

Fuzhou Tanka
Fuzhou Tanka people on their boats in Min River, Fuzhou, Fujian, China, 1910.
|Regions with significant populations
|The lower course of Min River and the coast of Fuzhou, Fujian Province in China
|Fuzhounese and Standard Mandarin (second language)
|Roman Catholic and Taoism
Fuzhou Tanka (Fuzhou dialect: 曲蹄; Foochow Romanized: Kuóh-dà̤; Simplified Chinese: 福州疍民 Hók-ciŭ Dáng-mìng; 江妹仔 Gĕ̤ng-muói-giāng; 曲蹄婆 Kuóh-dà̤-bò̤), or Fuzhou Boat People, is an ethnic group in Fujian, China. A branch of the Tanka people, they traditionally lived on sampans in the lower course of Min River and the coast of Fuzhou in Fujian Province most of their lives and have been officially recognized as Han Chinese since 1955.[1]
Origin and etymology[edit]
There are several different views on the origin of Fuzhou Tanka. The mainstream theory believes that Fuzhou Tanka are descendants of the Baiyue of ancient times.[1] As a branch of the Tanka people, Fuzhou Tanka has been in South China for more than 2000 years.[2] Their Fuzhounese name "Kuóh-dà̤" (曲蹄) is a derogatory term used by the Fuzhou people on land, which can be literally translated into "bowlegged" and might come from the bow shape of their legs caused by longtime living in the low cabins of their boats.[3][4]
The Amoy University anthropologist Ling Hui-hsiang wrote on his theory of the Fujian Tanka being descendants of the Baiyue. He claimed that Guangdong and Fujian Tanka are definitely descended from the old Pai Yue peoples, and that they may have been ancestors of the Malay race.[5]
Fuzhou Tanka now speak the Fuzhou dialect, which is widely used by the majority Fuzhou people in this region. Mandarin has also been brought to many of them through national compulsory education. However, they had their own language in history, but gradually abandoned it. In Ming Dynasty, many of them were already able to speak the Fuzhou dialect or other Eastern Min languages.[6]
Traditionally, Fuzhou Tanka people lived on boats in most of their lives. They were severely discriminated by land living Fuzhounese residents. Their life depended on fishing and ferrying, and most of them remained poor and uneducated before the founding of Republic of China. Fuzhou Tanka people had a rich tradition of folk music, especially call and response. They also had different views on chastity and remarriage from the land living Han Chinese. Pre-marital sex and remarriage were not restricted in their society. Due to the discriminatory policy imposed by the land living Han majority, Fuzhou Tanka were forced to dress themselves in a humble way to show their inferiority to the land residents.[4]
By the second half of the 19th century, many Tanka people had already been converted to Roman Catholicism. Some of these Catholic Tanka consequently moved onto land under the protection of Catholic Church. In the Republic of China era, the ethnic egalitarianism was guaranteed by law. Since the 1950s, the Communist government began to resettle Fuzhou Tanka to land dwellings. As a result, many Fuzhou Tanka villages were built along the Min River and the coast. Nowadays, most Fuzhou Tanka people have abandoned their traditional waterborne lives and intermarriage is common. Their traditions, such as Fuzhou Tanka folk music, are under threat as well.[1][7][8]
Discrimination against Fuzhou Tanka[edit]
Before the founding of Republic of China, the Fuzhou Tanka were generally treated by land Chinese residents as mean and inferior. They were not allowed to dwell on land, receive education, wear silk clothes or work in government or army. In some areas, they were even forbidden to walk on land, otherwise, they would be faced with death threats. Since the 18th century several attempts had been made by the Qing and Kuomintang governments to lift the discrimination against Tanka people, but it was only in the People's Republic of China era that all the discriminatory policies were completely eliminated.[4][7] Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 'gypsies of the sea' were not allowed to go ashore or marry the people living along the beach.[9]
Before the 19th century, many Fuzhou Tanka practiced Taoism, worshiping Mazu, Linshui and other gods and goddesses. In the late 19th century, many Fuzhou Tanka people were converted to Roman Catholic. Received, protected and assisted by the Roman Catholic Church in Fuzhou through Protectorate of missions, some of them were able to build simple land dwellings. Currently, the majority of Fuzhou Tanka people are Roman Catholic, which constitute a significant portion in Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Fuzhou.[10]
The Fuzhou Tanka have different surnames than the Tanka of Guangdong.[11] Qing records indicate that "Weng, Ou, Chi, Pu, Jiang, and Hai" (翁, 歐, 池, 浦, 江) were surnames of the Fuzhou Tanka.[12] Qing records also stated that Tanka surnames in Guangdong consisted of "Mai, Pu, Wu, Su, and He", alternatively some people claimed Gu and Zeng as Tanka surnames.[13]

Inequality is one of the main challenges facing Latin America and the Caribbean and is a constant concern for their governments. This course addresses the current regional landscape of inequalities, warns of its dramatic consequences, and offers transformative strategies that can be designed to improve social policies and public management.What topics we cover?
After endorsing the Pacific Framework for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (PFRPD) and following the line of action for its strategies and programmes set out in the United Nations Pacific Strategy 2017-2022, UNESCO Field Offices in the Pacific are launching a review about disability inclusive development in the region.
The universal basic income (UBI) is spreading and becoming front and centre in the public discussion. What if this idea, suggesting a flat income given to every citizen regardless of employment or social status, was part of the solution to today's inequalities? In his contribution to the World Social Science Report 2016, renowned sociology Professor Erik Olin Wright explored the concept for us:
Urban Social Forum 2016, organized by the Indonesian NGO Kota Kita, took place in Semarang, Indonesia on 3rd of December.
A major conference on the future of the world's cities and towns, known as Habitat III, has wrapped up in Quito, Ecuador, with delegations adopting a new framework that will set the world on a course towards sustainable urban development by rethinking how cities are planned, managed and inhabited.
The project launch will take place in Phnom Penh on 4 October 2016, followed by a series of workshop sessions on tools for evaluating social inclusion in public policy.
This project focuses on strengthening national capacities to assess and revise social policies to increase inclusiveness and ensure the equal enjoyment of human rights by all, including the disadvantaged and vulnerable segments of population.

He did this so patients could have the best opportunity for scoliosis improvement and a better quality of life.
Our Schroth Program
The intensive Schroth immersion program offered at Scoliosis 3DC℠ is the culmination of more than thirteen years of clinical work with the nuanced techniques necessary to stabilize or improve scoliosis. Dr. Marc and Amy Heller are skilled and compassionate teachers whose unwavering commitment to providing the best conservative scoliosis treatment for each patient is second to none.
Each program begins with education about an individual's unique spinal curve pattern. This is because a patient must have a complete understanding of their curve or they won't fully understand the concepts taught during their customized program. Multi-faceted postural rehabilitation techniques are introduced and impart lifelong skills so patients can confidently and independently work to stabilize their scoliosis, improve vital capacity, avoid progression, manage pain and for learn how to avoid surgery.
Since program inception, nearly every adolescent with idiopathic scoliosis consistently integrating our methods over time has successfully stopped scoliosis progression. Many have reduced cobb angle, some substantially. Results depend upon factors that vary from child to child.
Whether the patient is an adolescent or an adult, postural improvement is another reasonable expectation after patients incorporate their scoliosis exercises into daily life.
In the past decade, we've listened as patients and parents have shared their frustrations and fears. Dr. Marc and Amy understand those fears. Our team will will work tirelessly to address and alleviate any and all of your concerns.
Our mission is to empower patients, and their parents, and to eliminate feelings of victimization or helplessness. This is accomplished by providing patients with the knowledge, skills and tools necessary to actively manage scoliosis on a daily basis.
We invite you to browse our website for more in-depth information and to learn more about the updated Schroth approach we use to help patients.
We are the only US or Canadian facility to offer the newest innovations to Schroth exercise and bracing from Germany at one location. We offer patients the opportunity to complete a comprehensive scoliosis program and brace in only five or six days.
If you are discouraged by the lack of effective, proactive treatments for scoliosis and the insistence that there is nothing patients can do to help themselves, please check out our results page or visit us on Facebook to see how our patients are achieving results that many spinal surgeons say are impossible!
The entire Scoliosis 3DC℠ team is enthusiastic and excited about the potential of our Schroth Method program for each of our patients. We look forward to showing you, or your child, how to navigate scoliosis as easily and successfully as possible. Please browse around our website for more in-depth information or call us to learn more.
The Scoliosis 3DC team,
Dr. Marc, Amy, Kathy, Maja, Jeannine, Colleen & Sonia

Change Your Failing Disk drive With a Great Made use of Drive
The even more information on the disk, the slower access and also write-to prices come to be. Either do a little bit of residence cleansing, eliminating unwanted data, or include one more drive.
Often, a slow hard disk drive could be a signs and symptom of spyware, adware, or an infection. A great safety program could check your drive, as well as inform you if you have among these issues.
A whole lot of points could go incorrect with your laptop computer, elements that are mechanical in nature are at a much better threat for failing. At the top of the checklist of prone elements is possibly your laptop computer's hard drive.
Hard drives could normally get harmed in 3 methods. Parts being composed of mechanical components usually have a much shorter life period compared to parts made just of electric components, and also hard drives are no various. If a laptop computer were to drop hard sufficient, the disk inside the hard drive might finish up being scraped and also therefore harmed.
If your hard drive makes even more sound compared to it made use of to or if it makes clicking sounds every so usually, you will most likely require to change it quickly. If your equipment does not boot any longer or if a mistake message clearly claims a hard drive is not detected after boot up, a substitute would certainly be in order.
The very first, as well as most convenient to manage, is drive fragmentation. In XP and also Vista it's very easy to defragment a drive, needing just a few computer mouse clicks, yet most customers let months pass without doing it. They wait till their equipments have actually slowed down to a crawl prior to doing this many standard act of computer system upkeep.
Some customers "remedy" this issue by reformatting the drive, after that re-installing the OS and also all programs. This does not fix the origin reason of the problem, as well as it will just be an issue of time prior to it stands out up once again, maybe fatally.
If your disk drive appears to be functioning way too much, regularly downing away, constantly sending out information to as well as from RAM, the trouble isn't really your drive. The probabilities are you require extra RAM. Today's huge programs are memory hogs, tremendous in dimension, developing multi-megabyte documents.
You can also check companies that provide data recovery services like SERT.
The best indication of a significant issue is this: when you create information to the disk, and also get it later on, mistakes turn up. It could take the kind of percentages of information going missing out on, or being transformeded into gobbledygook. If this takes place in greater than one program, disk failing impends in the really future.
If your hard disk is decreasing there are a variety of various reasons. These will not result in disk failing, yet they could be aggravating.
Weird sounds, especially high pitched squeaks, are frequently associated with the hard disk. Most of instances, these squeaks typically aren't originating from the drive, however from a situation follower, or power supply follower.

I'm going to BE THERE!! Eeek!! Last summer I went to Chicago for the Summer CHA Show and I genuinely think it changed my life in a lot of ways. Probably the best part of going to CHA is meeting people in real life that you've gotten to know a bit through blogging for other social media who share in this wonderful passion for paper crafting and design! So, if you are going to be there, let me know! ;) I'd love to meet you!
Today, I thought I'd bring you some of my personal faves of the sneaks I've been seeing out there in blog land recently. Probably my most anticipated new releases are coming from Pink Paislee - talk about covering all the bases - look as all these yummy styles!! The new lines featuring Collage Press Studio and House of Three are A-MAZING! I'm most looking forward to Hometown Summer and Daily Junque. From My Mind's Eye, there is the "Stella & Rose" Collection. There are 4 lines within this collection and ALL are GORGEOUS! The two I'm most excited to see at the show are:

I'm guessing the next week is going to be FULL of SUPER fun posts from manufacturers!!
Okay, so I didn't mention Crate Paper or SRM Stickers. What's up with that?? Of course I'm bias - I didn't want to add them first, because it wouldn't really seem fair. BUT I'm SOOOOOO excited about the upcoming 4 new lines from Crate Paper - eeeek!!! And I must tell you, the CP Girls haven't seen the sneaks yet!!! It's KILLING us!! They're due to arrive in our hot little hands this week so we can prepare samples for CHA - but we are dying just was much as you are! We do know little snippets of info, BUT we can't utter a peep until January 20th when everything will begin debuting on the CP Blog! ACK! I can hardly stand it!!

If all this excitement weren't enough, in addition to CHA, our family is off to the "Happiest place on Earth!" while in California! We're going to Disneyland!! Woo Hoo! The kids, husband, my Mom and her husband and my sister and her sig-o are all coming to join us! It's going to be SO much fun to see the kids get their first taste of a Disney resort!

|The White Buffalo Gallery
Mary Rabien
Nature has always held a fascination for me. As a kid, I was always tramping through the woods and wading in creeks looking for interesting critters. I grew up in upstate New York. Growing up, most Sundays meant a visit to my grandparents at their small farm in Pennsylvania. My brother and I were free to roam around and spent many happy hours with barnyard animals, exploring the pond, meadows, and woods.
These fond memories endure and find their way into the subjects I choose to paint. My background is in technical illustration. I tend to be a detail person by nature so my goal is to try to be more painterly. My childhood interest in horses kindled my first artistic endeavors. As a subject, horses require quite a bit of observation and practice. Although I enjoy painting many subjects, birds are my favorite. I admit it, I'm a total bird nerd. My husband and I put a great deal of effort into attracting birds to our Waxahachie property,

Published at Tuesday, January 30th, 2018 - 00:03:25 AM. Modern Kitchen. By Ulysse Janine.
Hit to Read More
A great idea to create a modern kitchen design is to choose a firm contrast between the floor and the cabinets and walls. This doesn't mean clashing red tiles with blue painted surfaces. Instead, look at cool grey stone and wooden cabinets, or go for a light cream or white colour scheme. Bright colours will generally upset the harmony of the overall design and should be avoided.
When you are selecting a modern fitted kitchen, remember that your own design plan is paramount. There will be plenty of options for off the shelf kitchens, but it will be much better if you can create a custom-built space which reflects your unique tastes and passions. By building an idea of what you want from a modern kitchen, it will be much easier to work with a professional kitchen designer and fitter to achieve perfect results.

Comprehensive Guide to the Purchase of Mobile Phone Covers
Mobile phones are arguably one of the most used smart devices today. The manufacturers have been coming up with a variety of devices for the satisfaction of their clients. Since these devices help us a great deal in our lives, it is important that we take very good care of them. Among the ways we can take good care of our mobile phones is by putting covers on them.
Mobile phone covers are useful in several ways. Phones are protected from breakages that occur during falls or when under pressure by the phone covers. Protection from damage of the phone by liquids such as water is something else the phone covers provide. It is therefore, very necessary to have the best mobile phone covers for your phones. According to research, mobile phones with covers have been known to last longer and in better condition than those without. The guide to help you when purchasing a cover for your device is provided below.
The type of mobile phone covers is the first thing you need to know about a phone cover before making a purchase. Screen guards, drop and shock protectors, flip cases, phone wallets and phone holsters are some of the different types of phone covers we have in the market today. The phones body and screen are some of the phone's hardware protected by the phone covers. Knowing the types and appropriate uses of the phone covers is important thing when buying one.
The next thing as a phone cover buyer you need to put into consideration is the size and make of your mobile device. Mobile phone cover manufacturers always put into consideration the specific details of the mobile phones. Buying a cover not made for your phone means that it may not fit on your device. At times the wrong covers may fit on the device but cover apertures such as the camera and the flash light which are very essential.
You also need to be keen about the material that has been used to make the mobile phone cover. The covers can be made of material such as rubber, leather and a few are made from metallic elements. For protection of your phone against breakages that may occur during drops, the best covers to use are those made of rubber or leather. For the protection of your phone against pressure, it is advisable that you use covers that are metallic.
Lastly, consider the colour of your device when buying a cover. A wrong match in colour of the phone with its cover shows some disorderliness in the person using the phone. Buying a phone cover that matches in color with that of the phone is an advisable thing.

I've been MIA here for what seems forever…I know it hasn't been, but in the online world, a week may as well be a year.
We've all been sick. All of us. Mister, ToddlerGirl, SchoolGirl, BabyBoy, and myself. I'm surprised the cats didn't get sick. And we all know how it works when the household gets sick. You are suddenly the nurse whose sole mission it is to get everyone back to health. It's daunting. I pulled out every remedy, every medication, you name it, I did it to get everyone healthy again. I medicated myself with herbal teas, a couple shots of NyQuil, and plenty of coffee. I saved the good remedies for everyone else, and now I have an ear infection. Continue reading

Get in Touch Buy with Confidence with Pamono Purchase Protection Call us at 0330 8080 485 Share About This Piece Contemporary Design A collection of food containers made of birchbark, the Tuesa series was designed by Russian-born, Berlin-based designer Anastasiya Koshcheeva. Thanks to inherent essential oils, birchbark has an antiseptic, antifungal, insulating, and moisture-repellent effect. Consequently, it is ideally suited for the storage of food. Lightweight, low-maintenance, water-resistant, and highly durable, Tuesa containers keep food fresh for a very long time—biscuits, cereals, noodles, berries, legumes, and other loose foods. These containers also perfectly seal in the aroma of teas, coffees, spices, and nuts. The warm, velvety, and non-slip natural birchbark surface guarantees a secure grip, even when wet. There is a suitable size of Tuesa for any use, available as sets of three or sold individually, in a range of sizes and colours. Being handcrafted from a unique natural material, no two products are exactly the same. High quality is ensured through elaborate craftsmanship and careful material selection.

Prior to commencing her studies, Koshcheeva held internships at Matthias Ries Industrial Design and with the design studio e27 in Berlin, under designer Tim Brauns. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Product Design from the University of Applied Sciences in Coburg, Germany in 2014 followed by a Master in Design from the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, just outside of Berlin. In 2015, Koshcheeva founded her own studio in Berlin—although she continues to commute between Berlin, Moscow, and Krasnoyarsk. In 2016, production was expanded to include a new facility near Moscow. Koshcheeva's work is intrinsically bound to her Siberian cultural heritage and she is best known for her efforts to reinvigorate the ancient birchbark crafts, under the brand name MOYA. This traditional handcraft material was extremely common in Russia in times past, but its usage has been declining in recent years—much to the disappointment of its proponents, like Koshcheeva. The young designer explores the multi-faceted application potential of this ecological, durable, and beautiful material through a contemporary lens; applying a clean aesthetic, subtle pops of bright accent colors, and uncluttered, geometric forms. The Sibirjak (2014) armchair, for example, uses the pale birchbark in place of a leather or fabric seat and support, accentuating it with bright orange stitching and lacing, whereas in the smaller Taburet (2015-2016) stool, the birchbark is treated and woven to create a two-toned geometric pattern. In Koshcheeva's hands, this age-old Siberian craft of working birchbark becomes decidedly au courant. The sharp design sensibility and material innovation in Koshcheeva's work has not gone unnoticed; she has received a number of awards including at the Salone Satellite Worldwide Moscow event in 2014, the DMY New Talents Competition in 2016, and the Design Prize Brandenburg in 2017, amongst others. In 2018, Koshcheeva was nominated for the German Design Award and the Ambiente Talents award. Her work has been shown extensively in Europe such as at Paris Design Week, the London Design Festival, Maison & Objet, Salone del Mobile, and at the Moscow Design Museum, amongst others.
