I just lost for words for how amazing this morning was 💕after i met Maria the owner of this wig shop, she gave advised and service not like shop owner to a customer but more like old friend, a sister, treat me like a family, i came across her beautiful wig shop through searching for good quality and affordable price for wigs, as an alopecia survivors i have quite a bit of wigs i bought from other shop/online, some of them are very expensive but still not really great quality and as i overcome my alopecia my love of wigs keep continue. Wigs in this shop is really GOOD!! and very REASONABLE price, I tried more then 10 of wigs and none of them are bad, NONE! all the wigs are beautiful and really looks natural. Went there to buy a wig but then I came home with few of wigs, beautiful warm heart feelings and of course beautiful new friendships! I will never ever buy wigs in other shop ever again. Will be loyal customer for sure 💕
I had an appointment today and to be completely honest my expectations were absolutely blown out of the water! The wigs, the service and the overall experience was nothing short of amazing, just like Maria herself. There needs to be more women like Maria within the beauty industry, she was so professional and knowdgeable but at the end of our session I just had to say, it was like catching up with an old friend! I had fun, we talked and laughed and shared stories... she's just someone you want to do business with!! AND THE WIGS! I can't even begin to describe the wigs! I am just so impressed. Quality, quantity, everything. I cannot praise Let's WIGgIT enough, you need to check it out yourself. Amazing. Thank you Maria!
Wow what can I say? This is the 3rd time I have been to Let's Wiggit and I must say the service and the kindness shown by the staff is second to none. The ladies will spend as much time with you as needed. You are never made to think that you are taking too long to choose your favourite wig. They help you in every way.
I have also had a friend from Victoria come up and purchase a wig as well. Personally, I have purchased 4 wigs. I have just finished chemotherapy and I am so impressed with Let's Wiggit that I have placed their business cards in the cancer centre for all to see.
Thank you so much Maria and staff. You truly made me feel special.
Maria Nieves
Store owner
I had a dream to own a business that would change lives. This is how Let's Wiggit was born and my dream became a reality! After only six months from launching and working from home, I resigned from my case management employment. The business had grown so fast the only logical thing was to focus 100% on developing and growing further. Soon after, we proudly opened our doors in our brand new store. My husband worked tirelessly and single handedly built our stunning & extensive Let's Wiggit showroom in North Lakes, Qld.
Our team consists of qualified professionals who are experts in their field. Our aim and goal is to change the lives of those who walk through our doors by giving them their confidence back. Our reviews reflect not only our professionalism but most importantly our passion and care for each individual.

I immediately got up and set about baking it.Only change I did was adding 2 eggs,instead of 3 as mentioned in the recipe.But still the cake turned out great..soft,moist and delicious.I have no memories of home-made cakes as baking was not a part of our cooking regime.I sure can relate to it in terms of the butter cake we bought from Best bakery.It tasted almost similar,but better.In fact,when I gave a slice to Ajay,he said it is better than McRennet's Butter Cake,one which we used to buy regularly before my baking adventures.[*silently gushing in glory:)*]
Thanks Maria,for this Ultra simple,but fabulous recipe.We loved it.
Recipe adapted verbatim from Marias Menu
Butter – 125 gm, softened
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
Caster sugar – 1 ¼ cups, (275 gm)
Eggs – 3, at room temp
Plain flour – 1 ½ cups
Baking powder -½ tsp
Bicarbonate of soda – ¼ tsp
Milk – ½ cup (125 ml) at room temp
Preheat oven to 180 C, 10 mins before baking.
Grease a deep 20 cm/8 inch round cake tin; line base with baking paper.
Beat ingredients in medium bowl on low speed with electric mixer until just combined.
Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth and changed to a paler colour.
Pour mixture into prepared pan.
Bake cake in the preheated oven for 40-50 mins or until the skewer inserted comes out clean.
Stand cake 5 minutes then turn onto wire rack; turn cake top-side up to cool.
Dust cake with a little sifted icing sugar, if desired.
- The batter might look curdled, but its ok, go ahead and bake it. If you want a caramel flavor, substitute 1 1/3 cups (275 gm) firmly packed brown sugar for the caster sugar.

"Rockstar designers wanted: apply within! Do you have that rare combination of godlike talent, relentless drive, and the epic portfolio to prove it? Then join our team. We promise not to drag you down or hold you back. You'll only work with clients who truly 'get it,' and on projects that give you the prestige you need to build your personal brand and land that next great gig when it's time to move on!"
Now, before anyone gets too excited, please note that yes, this is a fake job post! But I want to suggest that it's not too far off from where things are headed—and that's not a good thing.
Let's consider this notion of the "rockstar" designer. Since when did rockstar status become a prerequisite for employment in our field? Is this really a helpful concept? As R/GA's Nick Law points out, we have a tendency to fetishize craft in our industry. This can lead to beautiful work, but it can also distract us from what's really important about what we do and how to do it well.
Focusing on so-called rockstar designers propagates what Malcolm Gladwell calls the "talent myth," where finding and nurturing star talent becomes a primary way to outperform and ultimately beat the competition. As Gladwell points out, this approach is no guarantee of success, and in actual practice has often led to downfall.
Moreover, when attracting individual talent is a primary competitive differentiator, chronic churn is inevitable. According to preliminary results from the 49 Pixels Project (a "report on Canada's digital media workforce"), almost 60% of digital media professionals have had their current job for 3 years or less, and over 25% have been in their present position for less than a year.
Escaping to a better job with bosses, co-workers, and clients who finally "get it" can be an appealing, though often elusive, prospect. But could it be that our collective frustration says more about us than those who are supposedly holding us back? For example, presumably clients "got it" when they sought out UX design services. And yet we often struggle when it comes to working in a consultative and cooperative mode.
Finally, we can see a pervasive—and for some, almost compulsive—preoccupation with building our own personal brands. Social media gives designers the means to promote and project their exceptional selves out into the world, but even within personal networks, seeking out credit and recognition can become a full-time job. Taken to an extreme, these pursuits lead to resentment, eccentric turf wars and exaggerated claims that consume energy and help no one. (Though, they can make for good comedic fodder.)
It's time to confront some of the dysfunctional norms and biases that have snuck into our industry: in particular, tendencies towards egocentricity, entitlement, and even narcissism.
Let me pause here and be the first to admit that I'm as implicated in all of this as much as anyone else. At the same time, one of the coolest things about the UX design community is our ability to learn collectively and spur one another on. So it's in this spirit that I'd like to approach the idea of better design through humility.
Humble experience design may have a nice ring to it, but to get beyond platitudes we need to be prepared to work against a powerful cultural current. High self-regard and even narcissistic behavior is not only accepted, but encouraged as a necessary ingredient for success in our competitive landscape. But studies show that these patterns tend to backfire as they lead to overconfidence, excessive risk-taking, resistance to learning, and relational conflict (see The Narcissism Epidemic for a fascinating discussion of this evidence).
When it comes to designing experiences, cultivating a humble approach is absolutely essential. The sheer complexity of the design challenges we face demands open-mindedness—a willingness to test and modify assumptions, to make mistakes and be proven wrong.
Humility is about knowing what you don't know, and when it comes to dynamic, interdependent, multi-platform systems, there are an awful lot of unknowns.
Humility is also about empathizing with the people who use our designs. This is particularly important when we set out to motivate and shape behavioral, perceptual, and emotional habits and patterns. Finally, humility is about working cooperatively with others in ways that challenge singular authorship and allow us to create experiences that can truly have an impact.
So how do we get better at humble experience design? Here are three suggestions:
First, set yourself up for consistent, honest, and open critical feedback. This can come in many forms and from different sources, ranging from co-workers and clients to users and actual performance indicators. True feedback can be painful because it jumps past all of the care and cleverness we put into our design decisions and focuses relentlessly on the outcome. Avoiding or ignoring feedback can be tempting, but don't do it! Don't cheat yourself out of the opportunity to learn about your own limitations, to create something that's bigger than yourself, and to ultimately grow as a result.
Second, embrace collaboration as a core part of your design process. Without a doubt, the best work of my career has been done in the context of an intensely collaborative process. This means giving up control and undiluted credit in order to gain a broader, more grounded perspective. As the experiences we design become much more integrally tied to our clients' business models, working closely with them in a participatory way becomes crucial. This will require a more deliberate and facilitated, less ad-hoc engagement model with our clients.
And third, build up others in order to enrich everyone's experience and succeed collectively. It can be tricky to work at being more humble through self-regulation because this requires focus on oneself, which is often the problem in the first place! So focus instead on those around you who are in your sphere of influence. What are their natural strengths and how can they flourish? How can you help them succeed and look good? Imagine a work environment where this kind of dynamic was built into the core culture.
Is it possible that our success as designers depends not only on how we design things—the ideas, processes and methodologies we employ—but also who we are as designers and the values we share? As the UX design field continues to evolve and mature, we have an incredible opportunity to develop something that matters. Humble experience design is about getting over ourselves and focusing on what's really important: our teammates, our customers and the people we design for and with everyday.

Stay Healthy By Preventing Sport Injuries That Hurt A Self Funded Plan
Preventing Sports Injuries
Exercise is good for the body and with the proper precautions, sports injuries can often be prevented. The quality of protective equipment - padding, helmets, shoes, mouth guards - have helped to improve the safety in sports. But, you can still be susceptible to injury. Always contact your healthcare provider before starting any type of physical activity, especially vigorous types of exercises or sports.
Causes of sport injuries may include:
- improper or poor training practices
- wearing improper sporting gear
- being in poor health condition
- improper warm-up or stretching practices before a sporting event or exercise
Common sports injuries include:
- Sprains and strains
- Joint injuries (knee)
- Muscle injuries
- Dislocations
- Fractures
- Achilles tendon injuries
- Pain along the shin bone
How can I prevent a sports injury?
The following are some basic steps to prevent a sports injury:
- Develop a fitness plan that includes cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility. This will help decrease your chance of injury
- Alternate exercising different muscle groups and exercise every other day.
- Cool down properly after exercise or sports. It should take 2 times as long as your warm ups.
- Stay hydrated. Drink water to prevent dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
- Stretching exercises can improve the ability of muscles to contract and perform, reducing the risk for injury. Each stretch should start slowly until you reach a point of muscle tension. Stretching should not be painful. Aim to hold each stretch for up to 20 seconds.
- Use the right equipment or gear and wear shoes that provide support and that may correct certain foot problems that can lead to injury.
- Learn the right techniques to play your sport.
- Rest when tired, Avoid exercise when you are tired or in pain.
- Always take your time during strength training and go through the full range of motion with each repetition.
- If you do sustain a sports injury, make sure you participate in adequate rehabilitation before resuming strenuous activity.

You've heard it said time and time again before: reading matters. No matter who you are, a love for reading books is a valuable life skill. Books can transport us to other times and places, let us walk in someone else's shoes and show us entirely new worlds we never could have imagined. And of course, if fictional books create new worlds, then nonfiction books explain the world we live in.
No matter what genre or type of literature you love, you can always learn something new from a book. In fact, reading books can even make you a better person. Books are a valuable source of information, creativity and empathy. If you're not a book lover now, you will be soon. Here's how reading makes you a better person.
1. Reading improves cognitive intelligence.
You may know by now that reading makes you more intelligent. Not only does reading strengthen your vocabulary, but it can actually change certain parts of the brain and even activate other areas. One 2013 study conducted by Emory University found reading novels could rewire certain parts of the brain, producing biological changes which lasted for up to five days. This "rewiring" of the brain improves the reader's cognitive intelligence. Although, the cognitive effects from reading are not permanent unless they are consistently refreshed through—you guessed it—more reading.
2. Reading strengthens your empathy.
Reading fiction can also play a critical role in strengthening your level of empathy for others and the world around you. Reading gives you an inside look into a character's life, their experiences and emotions. This intimate access opens up your critical thinking capabilities and activates empathy sensors. One study published in 2013 by Science found reading literary fiction helps improve people's "Theory of Mind" (ToM), or their ability to understand someone else's different beliefs and feelings. This makes you more aware and sensitive to others' struggles, their cultures and their customs, causing you to be more forgiving and nurturing than before.
3. Reading improves your happiness.
This might come as a surprise, but reading can also improve your happiness with yourself and life. Researcher Josie Billington at the University of Liverpool shared a study in 2015 when she surveyed 4,164 adults, and found interesting contrasts between people who read regularly and those who didn't. Consistent readers reported feeling less stressed and less depressed, with higher self-esteem levels and a greater ability to cope with challenges. Compared to non-readers, they also showed higher results in close friendships and community connections, with a stronger awareness for social issues and cultural diversity. All of this resulted in a stark difference between the happiness levels for consistent readers and their non-reader counterparts.
4. Reading protects your memory.
Brain-boosting activities like reading can also protect your memory, both short- and long-term. A 2013 study conducted by Rush University Medical Center in Chicago discovered consistent readers tend to show fewer signs of memory loss as they age. In the study, researchers conducted memory and thinking tests on 294 people during the last six years of their lives. After participants'' deaths, they performed autopsies to look for signs of dementia. Researchers then discovered that participants who were avid, lifelong readers, showed 32% lower rates for memory decline at the end of their lives. Turns out, you can add a significant benefit to your life just by picking up a book.
There's no doubt about it: reading improves wellbeing and can make you a better person. If you haven't picked up a book in awhile, now might be the perfect time to do so. Try to incorporate more reading throughout your life and see how you can grow and influence others through it.

Bill Internicola, a 91-yar-old World War II veteran, was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., and now lives in Florida's Broward County. He recently received a letter from county elections officials asking him to show proof he was a U.S. citizen or be removed from the voting rolls.
Internicola says he was "flabbergasted."
"To me, it's like an insult," he says. "They sent me a form to fill out. And I filled out the form and I sent it back to them with a copy of my discharge paper and a copy of my tour of duty in the ETO, which is the European Theater of Operations."
Internicola's was one of more than 180,000 names Florida's secretary of state identified from motor vehicle records as possible noncitizens. Several weeks ago, the secretary's office sent county elections supervisors a first batch of some 2,600 names. County officials, who are also preparing for the state's August primary, started sending out letters to suspected noncitizens, saying they had 30 days to prove their citizenship or be removed from the voting rolls.
That's when things started to get hot.
"I think most of us know that what this is about is voter suppression," Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings said this week at a news conference with Internicola.
Rep. Ted Deutch, a Broward County Democrat who called the news conference, and other Democrats in the state's congressional delegation wrote to Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, asking him to immediately suspend the voter purge.
"Why is this happening less than three months before an election?" Deutch said. "Why is there only a 30-day period for people to be able to respond? It looks like there is an effort to purge a large number of voters from the rolls whether they're eligible voters or not."
Chris Cate, a spokesman for Ken Detzner, the secretary of state, says his office is working to improve the process — spending about $100,000 to update its records. But even with the new list, he concedes it's likely some eligible voters will be mistakenly identified as noncitizens.
"We certainly don't want anybody to be inconvenienced by the process," Cate says. "But we also believe everyone will understand that it's in the best interests of our election process to make sure only eligible voters can cast a ballot."
Democrats and voting-rights groups say the majority of those targeted by the purge are Hispanics and other minority voters. Last week, a coalition of voting-rights groups sent a letter to Detzner asking him to immediately call a halt to the voter purge because they say it's both unfair and illegal.
"It's in violation of the National Voter Registration Act, which prohibits purging voters within 90 days of a federal election," says Penda Hair, co-director of one of the groups, the Advancement Project. "And the reason it prohibits that is because of what's happening here, which is that such purges create chaos. They create intimidation for voters."
The secretary of state's office says it reads the law differently and plans to continue its efforts to remove ineligible voters from the rolls.
On that front, it's begun a new effort. Florida's top elections officials recently sent to the counties a list of 53,000 people believed to be dead who should be removed from the voter rolls.
That's something county elections officials do routinely, using death notices. Susan Bucher, the supervisor of elections for Palm Beach County, says she held off sending letters to people identified as potential noncitizens because she had questions about the state's methodology. With that experience in mind, she's leery about the new list as well.
"In the situation with the deceased persons, we have no evidence — they just told us about it," she says. "So I'd like to see some documentation so that I can do some research to make sure that that's not faulty also."
Many county elections supervisors, both Democrats and Republicans, are angry about the state pressure to purge voters at a time when they're trying to prepare for Florida's August primary.
Democrats say it's a repeat of the 2000 presidential election, when Secretary of State Katherine Harris oversaw a purge of felons that disenfranchised thousands of eligible voters.
And here's a reminder of why disputes in Florida over voter eligibility are so important: That election, you'll recall, was decided by just 537 votes.

Quick — when you think of Arby's, do you think of seasoned curly fries or turkey sandwiches?
The fast food chain, born in 1964 in roast beef sandwich and sweet-tea loving Ohio, is hoping to have it both ways. This weekend, it launched a new ad campaign focused on its lower calorie, freshly-sliced turkey sandwiches (think competition for the Subway chain) and a sleeker, more modern logo.
"We see ourselves as a sandwich shop, but we don't always get credit for that from the consumer," Andrew Keller, chief executive officer at Crispin Porter & Bogusky, the agency behind the new ad, tells Bloomberg.
And yet Arby's Twitter feed is full of homages to one of the chains' biggest claim to fame — its curly fries.
Arby's has just about 3,500 restaurants globally, compared with Subway's 34,000, according to Bloomberg. And the chain's gotten low ranks for its food in a couple of big diner surveys, including this one from Consumer Reports last year. So it was ready to make some changes.
One of the changes was to the logo. While the iconic ten-gallon hat remains, the font that sits on the brim is now smaller and more modern-looking, sporting a deeper shade of red.
Over at the branding blog, Brand New, they're lamenting the change:
"The Arby's giant hat logo is one of the most fun fast food chain logos: oversize and over-Western'd without any excuses. Their classic road signs, sadly less common now, are always a sight to behold. Even what looks like cheesy typography is a very nice, condensed bit of slab serif that filled in the hat properly. The new logo retains the hat shape, along with some unfortunate 3D extrusion, but replaces the typography with some flavorless, sans serif with a lowercase 'a' and the sharpest, biggest (and is that shiniest?) apostrophe that no logo ever needed."
As part of its makeover efforts, Arby's plans to add as many as 12 new products this year, Chief Marketing Officer Russ Klein says. The chain introduced hot turkey sandwiches this month and plans to branch out widely, perhaps to a peppermint milk shake, a molten lava cake and miniature sandwiches, he tells Bloomberg.
Also, to attract new customers, the company is planning a $12 million renovation of some of its restaurants by the end of the year, Klein says.
Arby's is far from alone in giving itself a middle-aged makeover. As MSNBC reports, times are changing for the fast food business as the foodservice market is expected to grow slowly in the coming years. Plus the Chipotle and Subway chains are encroaching on the traditional fast food outlets' territory with fresher, healthier food options.
McDonald's is touting real fruit smoothies, Burger King is advertising fresh vegetables, and Wendy's is promoting "natural lemonade" as part of their efforts to jump on the "freshness" brand wagon, a key buzzword in restaurants for the last decade, according to Restaurant News.
"It's going to be a real battle for market share," Bonnie Riggs, restaurant industry analyst, tells MSNBC.

A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse (RN) who has additional education and training in a specialty area, such as family practice or pediatrics. Pediatric and family practice NPs can provide regular health care for kids.
Nurse practitioners (also referred to as advanced practice nurses, or APNs) have a master's degree in nursing (MS or MSN) and board certification in their specialty. For example, a pediatric NP has advanced education, skills, and training in caring for infants, children, and teens.
Licensed as nurse practitioners and registered nurses, NPs follow the rules and regulations of the Nurse Practice Act of the state where they work. If accredited through the national board exam, the NP will have an additional credential, such as Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (CPNP) or Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (CFNP).
An NP who specializes in pediatrics can:
Most NPs maintain close working relationships with doctors and consult them as needed. NPs are licensed in all 50 states and can dispense most medicines. Some states require a doctor to co-sign prescriptions. In a few states, NPs can practice and prescribe without physician supervision.
Although doctors have additional training to help patients deal with complex medical problems, many people feel that NPs spend more time with their patients. NP training emphasizes disease prevention, reduction of health risks, and thorough patient education.
Like doctors, NPs are involved in more than just direct patient care. Many participate in education, research, and legislative activities to improve the quality of health care in the United States.
Pediatric NPs can deliver much of the health care that kids require, consulting doctors and specialists as necessary. Educating kids and their families about normal growth and childhood development issues (e.g., toilet training, temper tantrums, biting) is a big part of the pediatric NP's role.
Pediatric and family practice NPs can treat acute (short-term) illnesses such as upper respiratory infections, ear infections, rashes, and urinary tract infections. They can also specilaize in and manage chronic illnesses such as asthma, allergies, diabetes, and many others.
If your child has severe health problems that require advanced training or highly specialized medical care, you may need to see a doctor. If you're unsure about your child's specific illness and want to know if an NP can help, ask your doctor. The scope of an NP's practice depends upon your state's regulations.
If you want to verify an NP's credentials, check with the American College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP). It's also a good idea to ask NPs about their specific qualifications, education, and training, just as you would interview any doctor for your child.
Also be sure to check with your health insurance provider to be sure that services provided by NPs are covered through your policy.
If you're looking for a pediatric NP, check with local hospitals or nursing schools. Also, many doctors share office space with NPs to provide all types of primary care. Other doctors work with NPs to offer them training in different types of health care. Your doctor might already have such an arrangement in place, so just ask.

A jumbo loan, a type of non-conforming loan, is a home mortgage that allows financing for loan amounts that exceed the conforming maximum of $453,101 (depending on what area of the country you're in, loan amount may vary). Since home prices for larger or luxury homes can often surpass this amount, this loan might be perfect for the house of your dreams.
A jumbo loan is your best (or only) option if you need to borrow between $484,351 and $3,000,000 for a home purchase or refinance. Jumbo loan rates can be higher, lower, or the same as conforming loan amounts.
With the fluctuating market, jumbo home mortgage loans do call for stricter requirements than in years past, but still follow a similar process of a typical loan. You will generally need a 10-20% down payment and will be able to potentially receive lower fixed or adjustable rates offering flexibility for financing with a bigger loan.

Despite the fact that it is still well within the cool Spring jacket weather here, I have been getting more into the warm weather food mood. I see warmer weather food as generally requiring little or no oven time, being lighter and including more salads. When those lighter meals include pan seared scallops in a maple syrup and miso sauce like this recipe that I encountered on Cook Eat Fret it is not hard to see why I wanted to make it right away. It does not take much to convince me to try a meal with both scallops and maple syrup and I always enjoy finding new ways to enjoy miso. This meal was super quick and easy to make requiring only a few minutes to pan sear the scallops, a few minutes to make the simple pan sauce and a few minutes to throw together a simple salad. I figured that serving the scallops on a salad would be nice as the extra maple and miso sauce would work as a dressing. The maple and miso sauce was really nice. I liked how the salty miso worked with the sweet maple syrup and how the tangy vinegar balanced everything out. What a great way to enjoy both maple syrup and miso!
Maple and Miso Scallops
- 8 large scallops (patted dry)
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons miso
- Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- Add the scallops and caramelize on both sides, about 3 minutes per side, and set aside.
- Add the vinegar, maple and miso to the pan and reduce to a sauce.
- Add the scallops back to the pan and toss to coat.

Extraordinary fine shoyu made of Non-GMO organic soybeans and organic wheat by brew masters skilled in traditional methods. Aged in stainless steel vats for 2 years. It melds, brightens, and brings out depth of character in any food. George Ohsawa called this soy sauce 'tamari'. Shoyu soy sauce is macrobiotic 'tamari' soy sauce. Amber glass bottled with a dispenser cap that delivers 'drops' or 'pours' as you desire. Refillable.
Eden Shoyu Soy Sauce continues a legacy that began centuries ago. It is made by shoyu brewing masters, heirs of the traditional old fashioned way, skilled in the art of koji fermentation handed down through generations. Made with koji Aspergillus oryzae inoculated whole soybeans and wheat, pure water and the finest sea salt, carefully tended and aged in stainless steel vats through two seasonal cycles at natural, ambient temperatures, in the same ancient and traditional manner used for over 500 years.
It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what it is that tastes good about shoyu. The most noticeable quality is not its own flavor, but rather its versatile ability to combine with, harmonize and enhance the flavor of other foods. The complex natural chemical makeup of shoyu gives it an extraordinary full and deep flavor. In addition to flavor, the irresistible aroma that shoyu contributes to food can make it smell delicious even before it's tasted. These qualities are a result of long, slow traditional fermentation.
Soy sauce should be chosen with care as one would choose a fine wine or extra virgin olive oil. The flavor and aroma of natural shoyu cannot be duplicated in chemically produced soy sauce. Today genuine soy sauce is rare. Most commercial soy sauces are mostly sugar, water, refined salt, caramel color, and genetically engineered organism derived enzymes, quickly fermented under temperature controlled artificial conditions. They are commonly made with genetically engineered soybeans, defatted with hexane.
In the 1960's George Ohsawa introduced macrobiotics to the West and first introduced a natural soy sauce that he called 'tamari'. This soy sauce was not a true tamari, but a soy sauce called 'shoyu' in Japan. The product he called 'tamari soy sauce' was made of soybeans, wheat, koji, water and salt. Mr. Ohsawa wanted to distinguish naturally processed soy sauce, traditional shoyu, from commercial, chemically processed soy sauces that were market under the name 'shoyu' at the time. He did not anticipate the introduction of real tamari into North America, as it was a rare commodity and byproduct of making hacho (soybean) miso. Purposely and unfortunately, misnaming the product 'tamari' eventually led to much linguistic confusion in the 1980s, when 'wheat free tamari' was introduced. Eden Shoyu is the traditional, naturally made, macrobiotic soy sauce.
Eden Shoyu Soy Sauce is bottled in amber glass to protect its deep color, fragrant bouquet and rich character. Each has a functional dispenser cap that delivers 'drops' or 'pours' as you desire.

Scratch one more simple explanation for autism off the list. This time it's the idea that children with autism have low levels of oxytocin, often called the "love hormone" because it can make people more trusting and social.
"Our data blew that out of the water," says Karen Parker, a Stanford researcher involved in the most rigorous study yet of autism and oxytocin levels. The study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that children with autism were no more likely than other kids to have low levels of oxytocin in the blood.
The so-called oxytocin-deficit hypothesis has been appealing because social difficulties are a hallmark of autism spectrum disorders. And there have been hints that the social functioning of people with autism improved with a little extra oxytocin, even a single dose.
Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus that has affects both the body and the brain. It speeds up childbirth and also strengthens the relationship between a mother and her child. And in recent years, it has been shown to enhance feelings of trust and empathy.
So Parker and a team of researchers studied oxytocin levels in nearly 200 children, including those with autism, their siblings, and typical kids. "Our hypothesis going in was thinking the kids with autism would have the lowest oxytocin levels, the siblings would be intermediate and the neurotypical controls would be the highest," Parker says. "That clearly wasn't the case."
Instead, the study found that oxytocin levels affected social functioning in both kids with autism and typical kids. "As your oxytocin levels got higher, your social functioning was more enhanced," Parker says.
The study also found a strong genetic influence on oxytocin levels. A child's likelihood of having high or low levels of the hormone depended on whether their parents had high or low levels.
The findings could explain why some people with autism have responded to experimental treatments with oxytocin while others have not, researchers say. "It could be that if a kid has low oxytocin levels then they might benefit," says Simon Gregory, a genomics researcher at Duke University who was not involved in the study. He is part of another group investigating the use of oxytocin to treat people with autism.
Gregory says it's not surprising that children with autism have widely varying levels of oxytocin. "Autism isn't a disease, it's a spectrum" that can't be linked to any one cause, he told Shots.
The new study is important because it is larger and more rigorous that previous research, which produced conflicting results on oxytocin, Gregory says.
But it's not the final word on oxytocin. It's still possible that levels of the hormone are different in the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain, Parker says. A study to find out is already under way, she says.

You Can Name a Planet in Outrageous Contest
Earth, Mars, Neptune – how hard can it possibly be to name a planet?
Now's your chance to find out.
A company called Uwingu which aims to raise funds for space exploration is holding a contest to name a planet that currently goes by the rather sci-fi-sounding moniker Alpha Centauri Bb.
Because Alpha Centauri Bb, which is the closest planet to Earth at a mere 4.3 light years away, sounds like a cross between something out of '2001: A Space Odyssey' and the periodic table of elements, Uwingu wants the public to help give a name with some more pizazz:
Alpha Centauri Bb is a fine designation for us astronomers, but let's face it -- it's a little boring. Let's see what the people of planet Earth would want to name their nearest planetary cousin."
If you have a name that you think warrants serious consideration, it will cost you $4.99 to submit it. Conversely, if you'd like to vote for your favorite among those already in the mix, it'll cost you 99 cents.
The contest runs through April 15, which means you can throw your hat into the ring right after you finish your taxes.
As if being responsible for naming an entire planet all by your lonesome isn't reward enough, the winning entrant will also receive some other prizes that would have the characters in 'The Big Bang Theory' drooling. The prizes include a call from Uwingu's CEO, a plaque which pays tribute to the contest's winner, a 12-month subscription to Astronomy magazine and a picture of the winner on Uwingu's website.
Here's hoping the winner is not a Hollywood star – the idea of a planet called Apple, Moxie CrimeFighter or Zuma would make the planet the laughingstock of the universe and rack up huge therapy bills while it deals with its low self-esteem.

When I make chili I often think about cornbread. This time I remembered reading about a cottage cheese cornbread that I had thought sounded really nice. I like cottage cheese but I don't have it nearly often as I would like and this was a nice excuse to get some. I was thinking that the cottage cheese would add a really nice texture to the cornbread and help keep it nice and moist. Cornbread is a quick bread and thus pretty forgiving with tinkering with the recipe so I took a pretty basic corn bread recipe and added the cottage cheese and removed some of the oil or butter. I also added some corn as I enjoy the sweetness and texture that it provides. The cottage cheese cornbread turned out great! It was nice and moist and light and fluffy. Most of the cottage cheese melted into the cornbread but there were a few pockets that when warm were nice and gooey and stringy and good. The cottage cheese cornbread went really well with the spicy 7 chili chili . I had a lot of leftover cornbread and on a whim I decided to try some for breakfast. I placed it into the microwave for a minute or so to warm it up and then I topped it with some meting butter and maple syrup. The breakfast version of the cottage cheese cornbread was amazing! It was like a super light and fluffy pancake that absorbed all of the maple syrup goodness. I will certainly be making this cottage cheese cornbread again for breakfast (or dinner) again!
Cottage Cheese Cornbread
- 1 cup cornmeal

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New dragons are added regularly!
Tri-Horn Wyverns are a mountainous species, living in high altitude areas among rocks and snow. The rough and rugged climate has bred a tough and hardened species, prepared to do battle with both the elements and other creatures. Their most distinctive feature is the three-horned crest mounted upon their head, for which they were named; these toughened spikes are powerful weapons, used to battle against predators, prey and fellow Tri-Horn Wyverns. Both males and females of this species fight for territory and resources, and wear scars with pride. However, Tri-Horn wyverns have a soft side beneath their many spikes. They work in loyal packs, of which they are deeply protective; if one can gain their trust, Tri-Horn wyverns can be powerful allies through the mountains.
Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

In Washington State, parents and drug counselors are in a quandary. Now that recreational marijuana is legal, they're wondering how to talk to kids about pot.
NPR's Martin Kaste has that story from Seattle.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Ten, nine, eight, seven...
CROWD: Nine, eight, seven...
MARTIN KASTE, BYLINE: Under the Space Needle, marijuana enthusiasts counted down to the moment of legalization.
CROWD: Two, one...
KASTE: It's not actually legal to smoke pot in a public place, but that didn't stop this young crowd from generating a celebratory haze for the TV news cameras.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Woo, smoke. Just smoke it. Light it up.
KASTE: And in Washington State schools, scenes like that have made an impression. Kelly Kerby should know, she does drug prevention work at a Seattle middle school.
KELLY KERBY: I know they did not pass this just to make my life miserable, but it does nonetheless.
KASTE: Kerby has a cozy office, where kids sit on the sofa for confidential counseling. And some of them are pretty open to her about how stoked they are.
KERBY: They're going to make it legal and I'm going to smoke. My friends, we're just going to smoke in the streets and not get caught. And kind of, you know, like ha-ha-ha. And it's like, OK, well, that's not what the law says that you can do. But then you have a bunch of people at the Space Needle smoking, and they can only get stern verbal warnings from police officers. The message sent to youth is, OK, that's allowed.
KASTE: It's not allowed for kids. The new law allows possession of less than an ounce for people 21 and older. But Kerby says the fact that pot is legal for adults makes kids think it's harmless and it removes some of the stigma.
ROGER ROTHMAN: I think marijuana being illegal has deterred some people from using it.
KASTE: Roger Rothman is professor emeritus of social work at the University of Washington. He's studied marijuana abuse since the 1980s. He believes legalization may cause an uptick in use, at least at first. Nevertheless, he supported legalization because he thinks prohibition has led to an absolutist message for kids.
ROTHMAN: When you look at drug education materials, mostly produced by the government, what you never see acknowledged is the truth that many people, most people, who smoke marijuana occasionally and moderately are not harmed.
KASTE: Rothman believes pot can be harmful, especially for teenagers' developing brains. But instead of offering what he calls propaganda, he thinks parents should talk to their kids like this...
ROTHMAN: If you were to start using marijuana, if you were to start drinking alcohol, if you were to start using other drugs and you were drawn into using them regularly, the kind of danger that I'm worried about might happen. You'd get derailed and it's something that would break my heart.
KASTE: Parents around the state are working on their speeches. Mary Michael Collins is a mother of teenagers. She opposed legalization, but now that it has happened, she says it has led to more honest discussions with her kids.
MARY MICHAEL COLLINS: I could say - it's illegal, it's bad, it's terrible, don't do that. And that keeps me from having to have the real conversation, which is - why would you want to do it? What's the impact on your brain?
KASTE: Statewide, drug education professionals are wondering if they'll have to adjust their message, or even their vocabulary, for the new reality of legal marijuana.
DAN BISSENET: It feels strange to say it.
KASTE: Dan Bissenet(ph) is a program manager for the Puget Sound Educational Service District. He helps schools with their drug use prevention. He's not sure what to think of legalization but he is sure that the timing is terrible. That's because budget cuts have been rolling back drug education programs in schools just when those efforts are most needed.
BISSENET: I have heard very little, if anything, in terms of clear leadership. I'm not sure who's going to do it but it needs to be done. We need to prepare and we need to do it fairly quickly because this is at hand.
KASTE: The initiative that legalized pot does address this. It pays for new drug education efforts with a special tax on legal marijuana. But that assumes the federal government will let the state set up official marijuana stores and generate the tax. But it's not at all clear yet that that'll ever happen. As it stands right now, parents are increasingly on their own as they try to explain why they're allowed to smoke pot while their kids are not. Martin Kaste, NPR News, Seattle.

Apple (San Francisco, CA) is expected to round out its line-up of gadgets for the holiday shopping season with the Tuesday unveiling of its latest iPads.
The San Francisco showcase is likely to feature remodeled versions of Apple's standard-sized iPad with a 10-inch display screen and the iPad Mini with a nearly 8-inch screen. Hewing to its usually tight-lipped ways, Apple hasn't shared details about what's on the agenda. The Cupertino, California company merely sent out invitations that said, "We still have a lot to cover."
Apple's secrecy notwithstanding, glimpses of the revamped iPads have been showing up in videos posted on the Internet, including on websites that provided early — and accurate — peeks at the new iPhones Apple rolled out last month.
It will be a shock if Apple isn't taking the wraps off new iPads on Tuesday because it has been nearly a year since the previous generation came out. This would be the fifth generation of Apple's tablet computer. The original iPad debuted in early 2010 and accelerated the consumer shift away from traditional laptop and desktop computers. Tablets, including rival devices inspired by the iPad, are now outselling laptops.
If the unauthorized previews of the new iPads are correct, this year's standard-sized model is getting a more noticeable makeover than last year. It's expected to be even thinner and lighter than its predecessor and designed more like the iPad Mini with slimmer sides and tighter curves on the back. To conform with the new look, Apple is also expected to introduce new versions of its smart covers — the polyurethane shields that attach to iPads to protect the screen. The covers also can be detached and folded into a stand for the device.
Apple will probably add its high-definition "Retina Display" to the iPad Mini to stay competitive with recent upgrades to the smaller tablets sold by Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc.
Both sizes of iPad almost certainly will come with iOS 7, Apple's latest mobile operating system, already installed. The new operating software has been available to download on most of the previous generations of the iPad since last month. Some iPad owners have complained that iOS 7 doesn't look as good or run as well on older tablets.
The new iPads may also come equipped with a biometric sensor that enables a user's fingerprints to serve as a password instead of typing a numeric code to unlock the device. The fingerprint technology is part of the iPhone 5S, Apple's latest high-end smartphone.
If Apple is consistent with its past practices, the prices on the new iPads won't change. Prices on the standard-sized iPad usually start at $499 and the cheapest iPad Mini goes for $329. That has left Apple's tablets more expensive than rival models, but the company has maintained the iPad is worth it.
The higher prices nevertheless have eroded the iPad's market share. The research firm Gartner Inc. estimates that tablet's running Google's Android operating system will end this year with a 50 percent share of the worldwide market versus 49 percent for the iPad. Just two years ago, the iPad commanded a 65 percent market share compared to 30 percent for Android tablets, according to Gartner.
The introduction of a new iPad could also herald the end of the line for the iPad 2, a tablet that Apple released more than two years ago. The iPad 2 currently serves as Apple's discount tablet with a $399 price tag.
It's also likely Apple will use Tuesday's event to announce the release dates for the polished version of its Mavericks operating system for Mac computers and a new Mac computer. Both the operating system and a desktop computer called the Pro were previewed at an Apple conference in June. New MacBook laptops are also possible Tuesday.

On a comeback after missing all of 2012 due to shoulder surgery, veteran Jon Garland allowed just one run in three innings, but the Mariners fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in Glendale Saturday when Alex Castellanos slugged a two-run homer off reliever Yoervis Medina in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Garland's three-inning outing was his longest of the spring.
"Not too bad," said Garland. "My arm is definitely coming around. I can definitely tell it's getting stronger as the outings are going. Nothing is tightening up between innings. So just good signs all around."
The Mariners scored twice in the second inning on four consecutive singles, the final one a two-RBI blow by Franklin Gutierrez.
RHP Andrew Carraway will make his first Cactus League start Sunday as the Mariners host the White Sox in a 1:05 p.m. PT game at Peoria Stadium.
Carraway, who split last season between AA Jackson and AAA Tacoma, has a 2.25 ERA in four innings in three prior relief appearances this spring. He's slated to pitch the first two innings, followed by one inning each for Taijuan Walker, Tom Wilhelmsen, Charlie Furbush, Stephen Pryor, Lucas Luetge, Carter Capps and Carson Smith.
In a Saturday morning, six-inning B game, right fielder Jason Bay smacked a three-run homer in the first inning as the Mariners defeated the San Diego Padres 6-3. Bay's shot traveled 385 feet. The result won't count in Cactus League statistics since B games are unofficial. The Mariners scheduled the extra contest after Friday's game was rained out in the fourth inning.
