Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder in which people feel burdened by unwanted thoughts or forced to repeat troublesome actions. Unwanted thoughts, called obsessions, often include unreasonable fear of dirt or germs. Another common obsession involves fear of losing control and hurting oneself or others. Patients usually feel a need to perform repeated actions, called compulsions, to prevent harmful events. Some wash their hands excessively to avoid infection from germs. Many check faucets or stoves repeatedly to be sure they are turned off. Still others may engage in counting rituals or excessive prayers.
Research has shown that the things people with OCD worry about are the same things that everyone worries about. The difference is that people with OCD can't dismiss the thoughts as irrational. The fact that the worries don't away, rather they cause undue distress is a key feature of the disorder.
Most people have certain routines and habits they find comforting. For example, a person may like to get dressed or prepare meals in a certain way. But most people can change their routines when necessary. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel unable to change, even though they know that their obsessions and compulsions are unrealistic.
OCD can start at any age although it is usually first seen in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood. Although the disorder may be episodic, left untreated OCD can escalate in severity over time. OCD affects two to four percent of the population worldwide. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, OCD affects four million adult Americans.
Depression frequently occurs with OCD. Most of these say they are depressed because the OCD is affecting their lives; this is called secondary depression. However, many also suffer from bipolar disorder (manic-depression) that may influence the severity of the OCD. Gilles de la Tourette's Syndrome may be associated with OCD. This is a disorder characterized by involuntary facial or body movements or vocalizations. The most well known symptom of Tourette's syndrome is copralalia, the shouting out of obscenities.
OCD and the Brain
OCD is thought to involve a problem in brain functioning. Many experts believe that obsessive-compulsive disorder involves an imbalance in serotonin, one of the brain's most important messenger chemicals. Doctors may treat the disorder with medicines that correct serotonin levels. People may also be helped by behavior therapy, which teaches patients ways to resist their unreasonable thoughts and actions.
Work has been done using PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans to look at brain metabolic changes in people with OCD. Some specific brain regions have been identified which may mediate OCD, namely the caudate nucleus and orbitofrontal cortex. These areas have been found to be hyperactive in people with OCD as compared to people who do not have OCD. The orbitofrontal cortex is involved in evaluating perceptions and choosing appropriate responses. This is why the person with OCD may be plagued with doubt, because they are not processing their perceptions adequately. The orbitofrontal cortex is connected with the caudate nucleus and acts like the brain's automatic transmission, allowing a person to 'shift gears' from one response to another. In the person with OCD, this process often gets stuck, which is why people with OCD repeat the same behaviors over and over again.
Causes of OCD
OCD is thought to have a genetic component. Most people with OCD can identify someone else in their family who has OCD, depression or other anxiety disorders. Studies with identical twins who have been separated at birth and who have later developed OCD suggest that OCD is a genetic disorder. It does seem that it can skip generations and that the severity of the disorder may be different even within a family. That is, someone who has severe OCD will not necessarily have children who will also have severe OCD.
Other possible causes of OCD can be head injury, psychological trauma, or infection. This is called secondary OCD. Childbirth may also trigger OCD for the mother but it seems unclear whether this might be due to the stress of the birth, physical trauma that may cause brief periods of lack of oxygen to the brain, hormonal, or immunologic factors. It is worth noting that stress will almost inevitably worsen OCD. It is important for people who have OCD to learn how to deal with stress in healthy ways.
In summary, a person is probably born with a genetic predisposition to having OCD, which is often dormant until some stressful event occurs and triggers the OCD into an active phase.
Assessing OCD
Because of the variety of symptoms, OCD is commonly misdiagnosed. There are many sad stories about people who have been wrongly diagnosed with schizophrenia, autism, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A thorough evaluation by a specialist in OCD is essential to successful diagnosis and treatment.
OCD is best diagnosed by a psychiatrist or psychologist. There are several self-tests for screening the presence of OCD used by clinicians. Once a diagnosis of OCD is made, the severity of the disorder can be assessed by use of the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS).

Simple Beef Stroganoff
Serves 4-6 people
1½ lb/700g lean chuck steak
1lb/450g mushrooms, sliced
2 large onions
½ pint/275ml dry white wine or dry cider
3oz/75g butter
½ pint/275ml soured cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
First trim the meat and cut it into thin strips, about ¼ inch (1/2 cm) wide and no more than 2 ½ inches (6 cm) long. The classic recipe for Stroganoff is made with thin strips of fillet steak, cooked and served very quickly, it needs exact timing. This version is made with strips of chuck steak, which costs less, has more flavour and can be cooked slowly on top of a stove or cooker.
The onion should be peeled, cut in half, then each half sliced and the layers separated out into half-moon shapes.
Next melt the butter in a thick-based saucepan or flameproof casserole and gently soften the onion for 5 minutes or until it has turned pale gold. Then, with a slotted spoon, remove it to a plate.
Next, turn the heat up high, add the pieces of meat to the casserole (a few at a time) and brown them. Then reduce the heat, return the onion and all the meat to the pan, season with salt and pepper and pour in the wine or cider. Bring to simmering point, cover and let it cook very gently on top of the stove for 1 ½ hours – stirring it just now and then.
When the time is up stir in the mushrooms (which will add a lot of juice in case you think it seems a little dry), put the lid back on and leave to cook for a further 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.
Then taste to check the seasoning, and stir in the soured cream with a good grating of fresh nutmeg. Let the cream heat through (but not boil) and serve the Stroganoff with plain rice – basmati or brown are the healthiest options.

Former Knicks president Donnie Walsh will be in a familiar perch today at the Garden where he is expected to hold court with the New York media before his Pacers face the Knicks in a noon tipoff.
The Bronx-born Walsh's willingness to engage the media is one of the reasons he fell out of favor with eccentric owner James Dolan. Walsh spoke before almost every Knicks game at the Garden, in a familiar second-row seat by the once historic tunnel that has since been razed by Dolan's arena transformation.
Walsh's successor, Glen Grunwald, has followed Dolan's wishes in being inaccessible to the media and shutting out Knicks fans who would like to hear from the chief. Grunwald hasn't spoken since Media Day Oct. 1 — except for a brief comment to The Post extolling Mike D'Antoni's hire with the Lakers.
Walsh, who had hip surgery during the 2009-10 season, still uses a cane. He declined a contract extension in 2010 because he didn't feel comfortable with the contract language regarding personnel decisions, The Post reported.
Walsh can take a lot of credit for the Knicks being viewed as title contenders after a 6-1 renaissance this season. In his four-year stint, Walsh got them well under the salary cap to allow significant signings such as Amar'e Stoudemire, who paved the way for a flexible payroll that enabled them to execute the Carmelo Anthony sign-and-trade and sign Tyson Chandler.
As one NBA executive said, "Donnie did the dirty work and Glen reaped some of the rewards.''
Actually, Grunwald's work in adding depth and the right veterans to core stars should put him in line for Executive of the Year. Walsh returned to the Pacers after last season when Larry Bird retired, as he remains close friends with owner Herb Simon. But highly regarded Indiana is off to a 4-6 start.
* Also returning to the Big Apple is former Lincoln superstar Lance Stephenson, the Brooklyn-native finally making hay in his third season.
Stephenson, benefiting from Danny Granger's injury, is starting and averaging 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 45.8 percent shooting. He has played just 54 games in his first two seasons, but sources say Stephenson worked diligently over the summer and had a solid summer league.
"The problem with the Pacers is he's actually been their best player,'' one NBA scout quipped.

Could this composer possibly be the same as Charles J. Grey (Sibley composer 2723?) I have no evidence at the moment one way or the other unfortunately. Placeholder perhaps until I look into this a bit more... lots of organ music there under "Charles J. Grey" it seems?... and one symphonic work, I think. (edit: no, no, that's an organ work too.) (but not to jump to conclusions; James Hotchkiss Rogers and James Henderson Rogers, more or less contemporaries, ... which didn't stop publishers from publishing songs under 'James H. Rogers' - but anyway...) Eric 17:33, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
The collection that the Grey works at 2723 are part of has a cover page, and "Hymne celeste" is the first work listed. I'd say these are the same composer... Eric 17:39, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

In the ice age boys and girls knew to keep their wieners warm all the time. However in this modern ice age, brought about by global warming that many of you refuse to acknowledge, it seems there is an epidemic of frozen wieners being sent to the emergency rooms all over the world.
This must stop, and it is my duty as a responsible citizen to get the news out. Frozen wieners are not fun, they can crack and break and never work again. Please take this serious. This is why you do not find wieners in the arctic or Antarctic!
Think of it, no more petting them, no more playing with them, no more sharing them with friends, no more hugs and kisses. Yes this is for your benefit. Never take your wiener out in the cold, if there is snow on the ground, remember your wiener may be short but the wind can still freeze it. Pay attention to your surroundings. A cold electric fence will rip your wiener off in the cold, so do not let your wiener pee on one! BE CAREFUL!
Let's face it wieners can be small, cute, warm, cuddly and loving, don't let anything hurt your wiener, you may only get one in your life, treat it well. At all costs, keep your warm and fuzzy warm and fuzzy!

Chapters 13-16 Summary
Chapter 13, entitled "Impotentia Coeundi," covers Sandro's annulment proceedings. He enters the proceedings happy, knowing that he is in love with Margot. His smile soon disappears. The judges take their job seriously, ensuring that married couples stay together. Sandro's strategy for obtaining an annulment is to declare impotency. He recalls the embarrassing examinations and humiliating questions already asked regarding this area of his marriage.
The judges find out that his impotency only seems applicable to one person, his wife. It is their decision that because of this, he should spend more time with his wife. They feel that if he does this, he might find out that he isn't impotent anymore. Sandro relates all this to Margot later on in the day as they rest and try to make love, but he has, ironically, become impotent.

Zacks Bull and Bear of the Day Highlights: Edison International, Statoil, ConAgra Foods, Ralcorp Holdings and Bank of America
Jan 09, 2013, 09:30 EST
CHICAGO, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Zacks Equity Research highlights Edison International (NYSE : EIX) as the Bull of the Day and Statoil ASA (NYSE : STO) as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on ConAgra Foods, Inc. (NYSE : CAG), Ralcorp Holdings Inc. (NYSE : RAH) and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE : BAC).
Full analysis of all these stocks is available at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2678.
Here is a synopsis of all five stocks:
We upgrade our long-term recommendation on Edison International (NYSE : EIX) from Neutral to Outperform, owing to the inherent business strength of its regulated utility Southern California Edison. Although the company reported a third quarter earnings miss, we attribute it to a delay in the 2012 General Rate Case (GRC) rate case decision and continuing losses at the Midwest Generation unit.
Owing to California's supportive regulatory environment, our bullishness on the company remains unfazed. Going forward, our bullish outlook for the company is supported by consistent performance throughout its solid base of stable regulated utility operations, a steady growth in its rate base and ongoing alternative energy projects in-line with the renewable energy mandate.
Also, the steadily rising dividend of Edison International adds extra shine to the stock. Thus we upgrade our rating on the stock from Neutral to Outperform with a price target of $56.00 based on a P/E of 17.4x our fiscal 2013 EPS estimate.
We are downgrading our recommendation on Statoil ASA (NYSE : STO) ADRs to Underperform from Neutral. The company reported lower-than-expected earnings in the third quarter, mainly due to high exploration costs and low liquids production with steep operating costs in Norway.
While reiterating its 2012 guidance, management now expects 2013 production to decline sequentially versus the previous flat forecast. While Statoil is fairly active in its development operations, we remain apprehensive as hiccups remain in the company's production growth for the time being.
Considering the aforementioned reasons, we are downgrading our long-term recommendation. Our $23 price objective, based on the 2013 P/E multiple of 8.0x, supports this view.
Latest Posts on the Zacks Analyst Blog:
ConAgra to Offer Up Shares
ConAgra Foods, Inc. (NYSE : CAG) announced offering sale of its shares worth $240.0 million through an underwritten public offering.
The total offer consists of approximately 8.1 million shares to be issued at a price of $29.50 (the closing price on December 31, 2012). In addition, the company has also offered the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase shares worth $35.0 million.
The proceeds from the issue will be utilized to fund ConAgra's pending acquisition ofRalcorp Holdings Inc. (NYSE : RAH) at a price of $90.0 per share. The acquisition was announced in late November last year. In case the acquisition does not get through, the proceeds will be utilized for general corporate purposes.
The acquisition, valued at $6.8 billion, is expected to be complete by March 2013, subject to regulatory approvals. Subsequent to the acquisition of Ralcorp, ConAgra will emerge as the largest private label packaged food company in North America. Management expects the combined entity to garner sales of over $18 billion in the future. Starting from the fourth year, ConAgra is expected to derive cost synergies of about $225 million per year from the acquisition.
BofA Merrill Lynch, a wing of Bank of America Corp. (NYSE : BAC), is the sole book running manager for the offering of common stock.
The company had a total of 405.8 million shares and a market capital of $12.18 billion at the close of trading on January 3, 2013.

WASHINGTON — Investment advisers may face tough compliance issues in the wake of the Securities and Exchange Commission's unanimous adoption last week of rules designed to prevent IAs from making political contributions to elected officials to obtain business from state and local pension funds, investment pools and college-savings accounts.
Under the new IA rules, which are modeled on the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's Rule G-37 for broker-dealers, an investment adviser would be barred for two years from receiving compensation for providing advisory services to a state or local government if it or certain of its executives or employees makes significant political contributions to elected officials in a position to influence the selection of advisers.
Edward Pittman, a lawyer at Dechert LLP and former SEC attorney, said the IA rules "are really going to pose some difficult compliance issues" for investment advisers, perhaps more so than Rule G-37 posed for muni broker-dealers because IAs have broader-based businesses that include many nongovernmental clients.
The SEC rules would prohibit an IA and certain of its executives or employees from "bundling," soliciting or coordinating campaign contributions from others to give to either elected officials who could influence their selection or political parties in the areas in which the IA is seeking to provide services.
In addition, the rules would prohibit an IA from paying a so-called third-party IA or broker-dealer from soliciting business on its behalf if the third party is not regulated or subject to pay-to-play restrictions. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is expected to write rules containing pay-to-play restrictions for broker-dealer placement agents.
The SEC backed off an earlier proposal banning IAs from using third-party placement agents altogether, after many of the more than 250 commentators complained the ban would be too harsh. But SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said, "If the commission determines that third-party placement agents continue to inappropriately influence the selection of investment advisers for government clients — even under our enhanced rules — I expect that we would consider the imposition of a full ban on the use of these third parties."
Schapiro said that "pay-to-play distorts municipal investment priorities as well as the process by which investment managers are selected." She added: "It can mean that public plans and their beneficiaries receive subpar adviser performance at a premium price."
The rules designed to prevent IAs from engaging in pay-to-play practices will become effective within 60 days of being published in the Federal Register and generally will have to be complied with six months after that.
The development comes 10 years after the SEC first considered a version of the rules at the urging of former chairman Arthur Levitt. Those initial rules were scrapped after they angered Phil Gramm, the Texas Republican who was Senate Banking Committee chairman at that time.
But since then, Schapiro noted, public pension plans have grown to represent one-third of all U.S. pension assets, with more than $2.6 trillion in assets under management, and college-savings plans hold $100 billion in assets. In addition the SEC and other authorities have brought civil or criminal cases involving allegations of IA pay-to-play practices in California, New York, New Mexico, Illinois, Ohio, Connecticut and Florida, she said.
SEC officials at the meeting to vote on the issue cited the commission's new enforcement unit on municipal securities and public pension funds for playing a key role in the development of the rules. The group's leaders, Elaine Greenberg and Mark Zehner, have had experience with pay-to-play cases in the municipal securities market.
The rules do contain two de minimis exceptions in contrast to Rule G-37's one, leading Pittman, who had been involved in muni reforms at the SEC, to ask whether the MSRB will consider changing its rule to mirror the new SEC rule for investment advisers.
Under G-37, municipal finance professionals who contribute $250 or less to a state or local official for whom they can vote would not trigger the rule's two-year ban on negotiated municipal securities business for their firms.
The new SEC rule, however, would allow investment advisers to avoid the two-year ban on receiving compensation for services if they contribute up to $350 to an elected official for whom they could vote, or $150 to any elected official.
"Now that the SEC has this new rule out, is the MSRB going to have to go out and amend Rule G-37 to add a $150 exception?" asked Pittman, who suggested the SEC put two exceptions in the IA rule to narrowly tailor it and avoid a challenge to its constitutionality. Rule G-37 survived a constitutional challenge from an Alabama broker-dealer soon after it was put into effect in 1994. But Pittman points out that was 16 years ago.
Asked about the issue, MSRB executive director Lynnette Hotchkiss said last week that the board is aware of the SEC's new rule and will discuss it, if it needs to, at its next meeting later this month.

Laramie, WY – Fish experts fromYellowstone National Park say they have netted a record number of lake trout this year.
The large trout are considered an invasive species and a nuisance because they eat native cutthroat trout, which are an important food source for grizzly bears and osprey.
The National Park Service has been trying to eliminate lake trout from Yellowstone Lake since 1994, and have netted more than 268,000 in that span.
Fisheries biologist Patricia Bigelow says more than 73,000 lake trout were netted this year, 13,000 more than last year and twice the amount from 2005.
Yet despite the record haul, Bigelow says netting only seems to be slowing the species' explosive growth.
There have been signs of hope for cutthroat trout, though.
Bigelow says checks at 11 sites around Yellowstone Lake this year revealed more cutthroat in those locations since 1998.

Engineering consultant firm CH2M has leveraged Bentley's building information modeling (BIM) solutions to efficiently design and manage the Changi Water Reclamation Plant (CWRP) expansion project.
The project aims to enable the CWRP -- which is owned by Singapore's Public Utilities Board (PUB) -- to treat 1.12 billion litres of used water per day, a 200 million litres per day increase from the previous capability, so as to improve the republic's water security.
Bentley's solutions allowed CH2M to achieve a connected data environment, streamline workflows among project teams and reduce project costs.
For instance, the AECOsim Building Designer helped improve collaboration among CH2M's multi-discipline team by enabling them to seamlessly integrate project data and models regardless of file format.
Besides that, the Navigator allowed CH2M to review 3D models, identify and resolve conflicts, as well as ensure construction meets model specification. This not only ensured quality, but also reduced rework.
CH2M also used ConstructSim for work packaging processes and modeling. This facilitated their understanding of the construction sequence and enabled them to meet construction milestones.
In addition, CH2M reduced the time taken to estimate construction costs by using Bentley's BIM model for material takeoffs.
All in all, embracing a collaborative BIM strategy enabled CH2M to optimise information mobility, accelerate design sharing, increase productivity, ensure data integrity, and enhance overall project performance and delivery.

Kidorable takes everyday children's accessories and transforms them into delightful functional products that encourage imaginative play and fun. This wonderful company offers many fun styles in everything from backpacks to rainwear and even knitwear and towels. With styles including Space Hero, Dinosaur, Ladybug, and many more, there is something for every child to enjoy. They even have sizes for babies and toddlers too.
There are so many wonderful products at Kidorable, it was hard to choose! I decided to get something for Emily and she chose the new Ballerina collection.
We were sent the rain boots and the rain coat. Emily was so excited to get her new rainwear – she couldn't wait to try them on!
I've seen many children's rainboots and raincoats, but Kidorable definitely takes the adorable factor to the next level. Everything has cute detail, from the pretty roses on the boots to the ruffle along the raincoat.
The boots are easy to put on and Emily loves to wear them all over, inside and out and whether it's raining or not! She tells me she is pretending to be a ballerina in the rain because "ballerinas need to keep their special feet dry too!"
The raincoat is so pretty and the quality is excellent. I've seen many raincoats that have cheap material that rips easily; Kidorable rainwear is different and I can tell it will last. It also has a very comfortable feel to it, unlike other raincoats that are so plastic-y and almost sticky-feeling.
We also received a super cute matching ballerina wooden hanger with the raincoat and I love how well made and sturdy it is.
The raincoat has a little loop to help it stay on the hanger too for easier hanging up. While it's a little detail, I think it's wonderful that Kidorable put this much care and thought into their product line.
Kidorable rainboots are available in My First (size 5), children's sizes 6-13, plus young adult sizes 1 and 2.
Kidorable raincoats are available in sizes My First (1T, 12-18 mos.), 2T, 3T, 4T, 4/5, 5/6 and 6/6X. And all raincoats now come with a free matching hanger.
With Back-to-School Season upon us, now is the perfect time to check out Kidorable's backpacks too:
Buy It:
Visit Kidorable to find a retail store near you or you can purchase online.
Kidorable rain boots are $29.00
Kidorable rain coats are $36.00
Disclosure: I received a free product from the sponsor to review. I received no monetary compensation and my opinions are my own and were not influenced by the sponsor.

Remove the fat cap from the lamb racks, leaving a thin layer of fat on top of the meat, and clean the fat and skin from the bones and wrap the bones in aluminum foil. Cut the racks in half (leaving you with 4 (4-bone) servings).
Heat a large skillet over high heat, season the racks with salt and pepper and sear fat side down in the hot skillet until well browned. Turn the racks, fat side up and place in a 350 degree F oven for about 30 minutes. You can use a probe thermometer to check the temperature. (At Siro's we roast the racks in a 325 degrees F convection, 20 to 25 minutes to get to medium).
When the racks are at the desired temperature, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the lamb is roasting, heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and saute the shallots and garlic until soft. Add the Merlot, turn the heat down to medium, and reduce by half.
Heat the demi glace and rosemary in another saucepan and let simmer slowly for twenty minutes. Stir in the reduced Merlot mixture a little at a time into the simmering demi-glace until you can just begin to taste the wine in the sauce.
At this time we combine a little arrow root with cold water and stir it into the sauce to give the sauce a little bit of a shine and some thickening. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve, ladle the sauce onto 4warm plates, cut the lamb in half and serve with Roasted Garlic Bread Pudding, Sauteed wild mushrooms, and a seasonal green vegetable.
Set a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. When hot add the onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper, scallion, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, mince the rosemary and briefly rub in your hand before adding to the vegetables. Cook for 2 more minutes, season with salt and pepper and let cool.
Combine the whole eggs with the egg yolks and beat well. Stir in the heavy cream and the roasted garlic puree until well blended. Combine the cream mixture with the vegetables and the dried bread cubes and mix well.
Allow the mixture to stand overnight, covered in the refrigerator.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the bread pudding one third at a time and mound in a greased large muffin tin (you should get 4 to 6). Bake in a 350 degree F oven 45 to 60 minutes until golden brown.
3/4 cup olive oil
To roast garlic, cut the tops off the garlic heads and simmer in 1 cup of milk for 10 minutes. Drain, season with salt and pepper, and combine garlic with 3/4 cup oil. Place in a tightly covered pan and roast for 2 hours in a 275 degree F oven. Uncover and let cool. Strain the oil to remove unwanted garlic skin. Squeeze the garlic from the heads and place in a small blender and puree, adding the strained oil in a slow, steady stream to emulsify the oil into the puree.

To help out their dog, this family decided to build a house for him under their stairs. They noticed that Jack, their dog, loved to hang out underneath items on the floor. Typically, most dogs instinctively like small crawl spaces for dens. They feel more secure that way. Jack"s family was inspired by these posts on Pinterest, where people used the excess space under the stairs as a place for a doggy den. They made some measurements, gathered their tools (and dog) and got to work.
This is Jack, the family dog. He loves hanging out under anything (tables, chairs, etc). So his family decided to give him a more comfortable place to stay.
They started by cutting the wall between two studs under the stairs.
Here they are, figuring out what size the door should be. The door needed to be high enough for Jack to fit through (which typically should be height of his dogs haunches).
Inside, though, Jack would be able to stand at his full height comfortably.
The used pine tongue-and-groove boards for the interior and exterior of the house.
Making measurements (and letting Jack get excited about his new home).
They used the mat from a pet crate as a size guideline. Dad also put Jacks bed in his new cubby right away, to help the dog get accustomed to the location and smell.
Pine was also used for the fake doghouse facade to match the interior.
Looking good!
Jack approved.
Shingle pieces were added to the top to give a real "doghouse" look.
Securing the shingles with a nail gun.
Jack, patiently waiting on his humans to finish his new digs.
A perfect fit.
Adding trim…
Ta-da! All finished and ready for Jack.
This is what the outside of the back of the doghouse looks like.
It is adjacent to their wine cellar.
A better look at the full setup.
And inside! Cozy and pretty.
Now, Jack has a cozy den for himself where he can feel secure and comfortably rest. Not only that, but the cool "doghouse" design fills up the stairwell area nicely. Consider giving your family pet a room of their own (without sacrificing one of yours) by building a cool cubby for them. Source: Reddit This family did great work for Jack. Share their efforts with your friends!

CC to begin work on Kiser Natural Outdoor Learning Lab
Posted: 8/3/2011
Centralia College continues the next phase of developing the Kiser Natural Outdoor Learning Lab (KNOLL) on a site just north of Washington Hall and west of the college's Science Center, on the west side of Washington St.
KNOLL will serve as an environmental learning lab with representational flora from major climatic regions from around the state and is the next step in the expansion of the college's original Kiser Garden. Dr. Lisa Carlson, the college's associate professor of biology, is helping to identify the representational types of plants that will populate the site.
View larger map »
"We are fortunate to have this land that can serve the college and the community," said Dr. Jim Walton, college president. The college has retained flora from the original Kiser Garden, which was located where the Science Center now stands.
Work is underway for a foot bridge crossing China Creek that will connect what will become the Eastern Forest with the Alpine Meadow. As the site is developed contractors will reshape the banks of China Creek, which flows through the block. The reshaping will also create a basin, which will become part of a minor flood control area.
Further development of the site will be ongoing; the college does not yet own all properties. KNOLL will grow as property and funds become available.
The outdoor learning lab is named in honor of Rufus Kiser who served for 32 years as the preeminent physical science instructor at Centralia College. His great passion for the flora of the region was evident in his teaching. He gave the college's forestry program its credibility and reputation for excellence, training hundreds of men and women who went into the forestry profession. Kiser retired from the college in 1973.
Centralia College Foundation
is seeking to raise $500,000 for the KNOLL project. The campaign will help with the engineering of the site, the landscaping and the purchasing of appropriate vegetation.
"The KNOLL will be a scientific learning lab for students and will also serve as a park for visitors," Walton added. There will be lighted walking paths through the site.
Kiser taught botany, biology, forestry and zoology at Centralia College for 32 years. He started researching the plant species on Seminary Hill, east of the college, in the mid-1930s and continued until his death in 1995. Kiser is credited with discovering during his research that about 80 percent of plant species native to Washington state thrive on the hill. This discovery led to the hill becoming a protected natural area. Kiser was also a leader in scouting and he served in and for the Boy Scouts of America for 75 years.
In addition to teaching, scouting and his love of the outdoors, Kiser was an avid runner and attained status as a world-class long distance runner. Rufus was a two-time "All-American" and five time state champion. As a high school student, he set state records in the mile and 880 yard runs, breaking marks he had previously established. At the 1925 National Interscholastic Track Meet in Chicago, Rufus won the mile and finished third in the 880.
He returned the following year to win both events and claim U.S. championships. He went on to an outstanding collegiate track career at the University of Washington. Rufus's accomplishments included the 1928 and 1930 NCAA mile national titles, a second place finish in that event in 1929, and the 1929 and 1930 National AAU championships. He was a member of the winning four-mile relay team at the 1930 United States vs. British Empire Games.

A full day of radio programming from WJSV (now WTOP), Washington, D.C., for September 21, 1939. This project presents a representative sample of the mix of network and local programming of a major metropolitan network affiliate of the period. It also suggests a good deal about the programming mix of such stations: early morning breakfast variety programs followed by soap operas during the day, news and sports in thelate afernoon, family serials in the early evening followed by drama and orchestral music until sign off. Finally, because it includes the advertising for each program, it tells us a good deal about the power and shape of radio advertising at the time. —A Day in Radio (University of Virginia)

How to Play Field Hockey
Nothing is more satisfying than whacking a small, hard ball, with a large, hard field hockey stick. But field hockey lets you dribble that ball, flick it, roll it, slide it around and in between people's legs, glide it, pass it, and more. Not for the faint-hearted, or those with eggshell skulls, field hockey is a team sport that is becoming more popular every year. Give it a try, and you will surely become hooked!
1Get equipment, at least a stick and a ball. There are plenty of brands; shop around and find a stick that's of a comfortable weight and height for you, not just one that's pretty. The size of the stick should come up to your waist. Shin and/or ankle guards are a good idea, too. Like in many sports, a mouth guard is usually required if you want to get into league. See the stuff you need at the bottom for a full list. Make sure to buy a beginner stick if you are just starting.
2Get a grip. With your left hand, grip your stick at the top with knuckles lined up and thumb pointing down towards the hooked bit of the stick, roughly aligned with the bit that's pointing up. Hook thumb around handle if desired (people have been known to break 'em on collision). Your right hand should grip your stick loosely at a point lower on the stick that is comfortable to you. You should be able to stand with the hooked tip grazing the ground, the flat end facing out. Let all fingers grip the stick and practice going low into a crouched stance. Make sure you keep your chest up and bend at the waist. This will allow for better vision of the field and more control.
3Remember that your left hand does the guiding of the stick, your right hand is only there for support. There is no such thing as a "lefty" stick, so make sure you always use your left hand.
4Take a stance. Left foot pointing front, right foot back support. Bend your knees slightly, aim for the ball, which should be in line with your left foot or slightly before it, but not ahead. It is important to remember to not bend your back so much as keep your KNEES BENT. Otherwise, you will be very sore the next day! Practice getting the edge of the flat side on the ground as a stop. The ball should be a sticks' length away from your body.
5Trap the ball. Many people put their sticks down, parallel to the ground (to maximize obstructive surface area), but with practice you'll be able to just get behind the ball and use the head of the stick. To stop the ball, as it's coming towards you, move backwards, to slow the ball before stopping it. Just keeping the stick still often means the ball will roll over the stick, and hitting the ball will often cause it to go in a completely different direction. Let the ball come slightly across your body, and lean the stick in to catch the ball. Be gentle receiving the ball; pretend it is an egg and make sure you receive it lightly and carefully.
6Perfect the Indian dribble or reverse stick. When the ball is on your left, twist the stick with your left hand so that the flat side is again facing out correctly. Let go of your right hand as you twist, grip again once stick is in position. Make sure you never touch the ball with the rounded side of the stick; always use the flat side. The Indian dribble consists of tiny taps across the ball to move it forward. It is great to use to keep the ball in your possession. Don't give up! Even experienced players can have a hard time with the Indian dribble.
7Hit it! Move your right hand closer to your left hand (i.e. up) (but note: this isn't golf), the ball should be in line with your forward foot. There are several different types of shots:
- Slap-shots: Choke down your right and pretend you're playing cricket. Be careful though, sometimes the ball can go a different direction to the way you're intending it too if you're not experienced with hitting. Only hit the ball in a desperate circumstance, or when you're shooting for a goal.
- Pushes: grip should be between that for a hit and a slap-shot; ball should be right in front of the flat side of your stick, which should be somewhere around your back foot. Transfer weight from back foot to front foot, lean into it and push. A push is often used for passing, as it is swift and easy.
- Hook variation: place stick almost parallel to ground, hooked portion curving lovingly around the ball. The ball and hook end of the stick should be behind your back foot. Transfer weight from your back foot to your right foot, pull hard then push in one smooth motion.
- Flicks: hands in slap-shot grip, dig edge of stick beneath ball, much as you would toe scoop a soccer ball, lift and push, transferring weight from back foot to front foot.
- Drives: Holding both hands at the end of the grip, like a golf club, bring the field hockey stick back until about waist-height, and swing towards the ball. Don't over swing, or you can hit another player! Keep your eyes down at the ball and do not look up after hitting; just like in golf. Just remember, this is not a golf swing! Bend down at your knee, and make sure the toe of your stick is facing up. Your foot should be facing in the direction you want the ball to go.
8A large part of the game is endurance. Make sure you keep in shape by running in season, especially if you are a midfielder. This will allow you to run without tiring the length of the game. Remember you are not just simply running the whole game, but running and using your stick skills which wears you out just as fast. Even defenders need to run, so make sure you are toned and fit for the game.
9Get comfortable with your gear. Bounce the ball along the flat length of your stick. Dribble it down corridors. Walk it. Figure-eight it. Work on turns and pulls. Pass with a friend. Everything helps to become a great field hockey player! For help, talk to your field hockey coach or sign up for practices. Don't worry about being the greatest; even the professional players started somewhere. Remember to have fun with it! Field hockey is about growing in many different areas than sports.
10Don't give up! We all know that practice makes perfect. Getting frustrated makes playing the game boring and aggravating for everyone. Have the confidence, practice the skills, and you will do just fine!
Community Q&A
QuestionWhat can I do if it is the first time I have played hockey?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerGo to a practice session and ask plenty of questions. Let the coach teach you the basics and some extra skills. Observe well. Be courageous and give it all a go.
QuestionAm I supposed to whack the ball?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou are allowed to hit the ball, but not like you are golfing. Your stick should never go higher than your waist because than it can count as a "dangerous situation".
QuestionWhat is driving?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerBasically a drive is like hitting in golf. If you want to drive the ball, position the ball carefully in front of the curved part of your stick, then lift you stick to waist height (try not to lift it higher than your waist because you might whack someone behind you in the face). Bring the stick down towards the ball with some force.
QuestionHow do I dribble?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerPush the ball from side to side. So you start on your forehand and give it a little push to the left. Than you stop it with your backhand and give it a little push back to the right and stop it again with you forehand and so on.
QuestionHow do I dribble the ball up the field and make sure no one steals it?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou play with skill, run fast, dribble and dodge. Pretend to pass. Use your space well.
QuestionHow do I get to know how to play with my own stick in field hockey?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerHeavy sticks are good for strikers, as they need power. A mid needs a stick capable of hitting hard, but being able to run with it. Defenders need slightly heavier sticks to aid in stopping people.
QuestionIs there any other way to hit the ball without your back hurting?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerNo. You need power to hit the ball, so you cannot hit without bending down.
QuestionWhat does the defense do during a field hockey game?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerMainly stop the ball and keep it away from the goal so they can get it back to offense to score.
QuestionHow can I join a field hockey team?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerDepending on your age, there are many ways to join a team. If you're still in school, you could see if there is a school team. If not, check your local YMCA, or any place like that.
QuestionWhy do people play field hockey?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerMost people play because they enjoy the rush or energy involved in the sport.
How do you play left wing?
How do you play left midfielder?
- Be clever and try to get the ball onto opposing players feet! If the ball touches their foot, it's a free hit for your team!
- Just have fun! Enjoy the game and have confidence in yourself. Remember to always use the flat side of the stick. Practice a lot because practice makes perfect!
- When dribbling the ball, try not to stick out your right pointer finger. It's a little bit trickier to control the ball, but if your finger is on the stick and someone hits your stick hard, your finger may get injured. Be careful!
- Be comfortable in the team that you're playing with. In a team sport like this, communication and trust is key and could seriously affect your game if it is not up to scratch.
- Never raise the stick above your waist because you may hurt someone or be penalized.
- Enjoy it. Your skills will improve as you play, and in order to play a lot make sure you enjoy the game. Don't let yourself be pressured or stressed, and find a team you enjoy playing with.
- When choosing a stick make sure it is the right size. You can do this by holding the sticks up next to your leg and seeing if it is at your hip. If it is, the stick is the right size. If it is below your hips then it is too small. If it is above your hip then it is too big.
- Don't hit the back of your opponents stick, because that would be considered a stick tackle.
- Always mark someone (make sure they cannot get to the ball) especially when the other team is taking a free hit, and a shot on goal.
- Get stuck in! Don't let your teammates do all of the working - it will be so much more fun if you get more involved too!
- Also, if you wear prescription eyewear, bring your glasses case.
- Always wear goggles!
- Don't run when you don't need to. There are 10 outfield players and if you're one of them upfront then there are only 9 others to defend.
- There are different names for the same passes. You should check out other pages about passes.
- Have a stick and ball handy in your living room. While waiting for other things to happen, or when when you are bored, take it out and play with it. Doing this regularly will boost your ball control and feel for the game.
- it is against the rules to use the round side of the stick.
- Never stop the ball with your feet. This is never allowed.
- When tackling, do not hit the opposing person's stick. Touch only the ball.
- Don't ever put you foot on the ball or stick as you may break your ankle.
- Do not hit the ball too high into the air, you will be penalized.
- Kicking a hockey ball can seriously damage your foot; don't do it!!
- Make sure you are at least 7 yards (6.4 m) away from somebody when they are taking a hit-out or a long/short corner not just for your safety but because it's a rule!!

Back in 2011, I wrote two posts about the manga series Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) and since then, it's only grown in popularity, and in addition to a live-action movie, now has an anime series starting in April, too. I can't wait to see how it turns out, but in the meantime, I figured I'd catch up with the latest chapters, and, man, is it still good or what? But there's something else I have to note too, in that by beginning to explain many of its mysteries, Attack on Titan is shrinking.
What first attracted me to this series was the idea of the invading giants. Who are they? Where did they come from? For what reason are they feasting on us? The possibilities seemed endless, the story limitless. I had these questions, but deep down, I didn't want to know the answers. I'd rather fill in the gaps myself. The more we know, the smaller the story becomes. One good example is the refusal of Evangelion to explain away the attacks or origins of the Angels. People have theories, but that's as far as it goes. The arrival of the gates in Darker than Black is another one we never get an answer for.
I wish more storytellers would follow in a similar vein and leave their unknowable things as exactly that, unknowable. Injecting logic and motivation isn't a bad thing per se, but serves only to limit the scope of a story. It becomes less about adventure and more of a personal, human drama. That's where Attack on Titan is right now, paying the price for explaining itself by halving the scale of its story. It's never less than interesting and exciting, and in many ways, has now become an even darker story than I ever dared imagine, but it's different now, too.
I've always loved horror. Survival horror, especially, with an undercurrent of social commentary. Like how Night of the Living Dead was really about racism, that kind of thing. Horror often represents the (sometimes repressed) fears of a generation, like how cold war America produced a lot of the genre's most enduring stories. All of that fear of communism was the driving force behind films like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing, stories about aliens taking on human bodies, infiltrating small communities and hiding their true nature.
I'm now going to delve into spoiler territory for Attack on Titan, so if you're new to the series, I'd stop reading now. The reason I mentioned the above is that it's fast becoming clear that the Titans aren't driven by alien impulse, but by humans (driven, literally,) many of whom are from within the walls, many of whom are the trainees we came to know and trust along with Eren over the years. To think they've had a willing hand in all the suffering we've seen since the start!? One thing I'm particularly looking forward to with the anime is in gauging the level of foreshadowing in Annie, Ymir, Bertholt and Reiner. Those last 2 were shocking. Especially Reiner. You were one of my favourites, man.
Unlike post war America, we don't live in fear of communism anymore. Our fears du jour concern terrorism, religion or general anti-socialists. All of these are now a huge part of Attack on Titan, not least of all, the revelation that there's a religion devoted to the walls, with hints that it may be working against humanity. Likewise, all of these young adults, seemingly good-hearted, suddenly becoming violent and distant for no apparent reason, is perhaps symbolic of the invisible walls separating the increasingly disaffected from "normal" society. The London riots come to mind. We're now no longer able to see the Titans as pure, mindless rage. These aren't monsters, but people, and they have reasons for doing such terrible things. So, while Attack on Titan may have sacrificed a lot of its sheer scale, the result is multiplying shades of gray and an even darker heart.
April 7, 2013. Be there.

Below You'll find more than you need to know about who Carlos Xuma is, where he was, where he is today, and most importantly how he can help you succeed with women. He will also explain what it can also mean to your dating success in his own words.
You can Sign Up Below to Carlos's Newsletter through my special link and you'll get free access to the Killer First Dates Crash Course Audio File.
It's our way of saying thanks and it's a great introduction to Carlos's work. Here's what you're going to learn in your bonus "Killer First Date" program: "And the best part is that all of the strategies and techniques I'm going to teach you in this program can be used with ANY women you meet – from online, or bars and clubs, or daytime approaches…"
The smaller print is from Carlos Xuma himself. I have not altered or changed any part of this interview. What you get from him here is exactly what you're going to get when you elect to subscribe to his newsletter or if you decide to buy any of his numerous products on dating, attraction, inner game, outer game, and of course much more.
So Carlos, first a little introduction about how you got into this business of helping guys meet women…
How long have you been doing this and how did you get into it?
I've been helping guys get more success with women for the last 7 years on the Internet.
Before that, I went through a long and hard journey of trying to figure out how and why my dating life had gone so very wrong. I was reading books on relationships, and all the stuff you find in the bookstores, but they were all written by people who really weren't getting very good results in their own lives. They talked about the way things SHOULD be – logically. But, as we know, attraction is anything but logical.
My big focus now is helping guys overcome their own self-limiting beliefs and master both the INNER game of attraction (confidence, self-esteem, etc.), as well as the skills – the OUTER game of attraction.
I also teach guys about MOTIVATION – which is the fuel for all the things a you will accomplish in your life.
This is what I call the "Triple-Threat": Motivation, Inner Game, Outer Game. With all three of these in place, you're unstoppable.
What is the biggest mistake guys make when they go out to meet women?
In my opinion, the biggest mistake is how most guys THINK when they go out. You see, all of the questions I get from guys have two parts – the inner and the outer, and one is a matter of *beliefs*, and the other is a matter of knowing the correct WHAT to do – the ACTIONS.
First, when most guys go out, they are thinking about GETTING women. This is the first big mistake. You're focused on your own needs and wants and not enough on GIVING to other people. If you go out with this "I want to get a woman" mentality, women will pick it up. Even guys can sense a selfish agenda.
But you can have a healthy DESIRE for a woman that creates something much more intense than just physical intimacy, and that involves a change of attitude.
Ask yourself a simple question: "If she knew what my motives were, could I blame her for her reaction?"
Guys don't realize that women want sex even MORE than they do. They enjoy it more than we do, why wouldn't they? But they have a much better ability to control that desire with protective instinct.
What in your opinion is one of the best places to meet women that a lot guys don't know about?
Honestly, speed dating. I used to do these events all the time, and I'd come away with a girlfriend every time I did one. Plus, they are excellent places to hone and refine your social skills. I'd try out new conversation and new questions, and I'd really get a feel for what works with a woman.
You see, you have to work the numbers. 95% of the guys I talk to are meeting LESS than 1 woman a week. Once you get past the "approach anxiety" challenge – something that every guy has, and I show you how to get past it – you see that it's all about meeting enough women that you can make an educated choice as to the one you create a relationship with.
The next best place for guys is online dating. Every guy knows about this one, but not every guy is using it to his advantage – or correctly. Most guys quit before they get the results they're looking for, and it's simply a job of tweaking his approach. In my opinion, you need to have more than 2 ways to meet women that you're using ALL the time.
When you're training guys could you give a little run down of the process in which take them through?
The first step is a complete reboot of their masculine operating system. This is a clearing out of their old thoughts and mistaken beliefs about women and social dynamics. Next up is a complete reload of their operating system with Alpha Man OS. This is simply re-educating a guy to what being a MAN in today's world really is.
Once you understand the changes in thinking that need to take place, you then have to have a game plan for implementing them into your life so that they become your natural way of acting and thinking. Again, I'm teaching guys the big picture stuff here, not the "how to get laid with the drunk bar chick at 2:00 AM" method.
The next step after that is to unlock your motivation.
What is one thing a guy can do right now to increase his attractiveness to women?
First of all, get in touch with your real passions in life. There is no single thing that I have found that has had such a drastic effect as really getting in touch with what gets me fired up about LIFE. And let me assure you guys out there that are thinking: "Women are my passion!" NO. Women are not a true passion. They are an outlet of your sexual drive, but not your TRUE passion.
(And when women find a guy that's just into women, or appears to be, he trips their radar in all sorts of bad ways. She knows that this guy is not a good bet for her evolutionary success.)
When you find the things that get you excited about life – like your hobbies and your goals and your relationships in general – you will pay less attention to women for your fulfillment, which ironically makes you more attractive to them.
So, that being said, guys still want to be more successful with women along the way, so we can do that, too. Here's a way you can use this right now:
Right now, take out a piece of paper and make a list of all the things that really get you fired up about life. Detail them in terms of their sensory experience. If you like snowboarding (as I do), then you might write something like: Snowboarding – the sense of wind and biting air on my face, the relentless rush of speed down the mountain, the moments of catching air and feeling your heart stop in your chest, etc.
The more sensory description you can put into it the better. Then, memorize this and talk about it when you're with a woman. I guarantee you this will work better than almost any "script" or fake routine you can find out there. Why? Because it's genuine and YOURS.
Also, the most potent and immediate thing you can do with a woman to generate attraction is to be FUN.
If you're too serious and too focused on what you're trying to get, you can't be fun. And when you create the frame of giving her fun and excitement, you will also be focused on the GIVING.
Make FUN your focus, and you'll start seeing a radical difference in your results.
What was one of your biggest A-HA! moments in learning about attraction and social dynamics?
I remember I was reading a book that talked about the fact that relationships between people are not logical. As much as we want things to be the way they SHOULD be – like everyone treating everyone fairly, no prejudice, etc. – it isn't this way. We don't relate in any logical ways. And if you fight this reality, you'll always be crying about life not being "fair" to you.
Then I realized that it didn't really matter what *I* wanted. I could want a woman to like me and do everything I could to impress her. If she wasn't attracted to me, it wouldn't change anything. You can't force someone to like you or desire you. Plain and simple.
Unless I can see through a woman's eyes and see what it is that makes her interested and attracted, I could push forever and never get her interested in me. So I switched my point of view.
Ask yourself this question: What matters more to the woman you're interested in – what YOU want, or what SHE wants?
Then it all came down to a matter of one more question – What can I do to influence others that gets results? AND does it so that we BOTH win?
The answer to that question is what I teach guys. Because that's the ethically correct way, and the way that gets me what I want at the same time. Win-Win.
What is one of the craziest experiences you have had during your time as a dating guru?
Well, when I had finally started to get the hang of how to handle social interactions with women where I was getting a lot of good results, I remember I once had a weekend where I was meeting 6 different women in two days. I thought that was really cool – complicated, but very cool. I finally had that sense of "arriving," you know? Where my hard work had finally gotten me to a turning point in my life.
Since then, I've had up and down times, but I've never felt like I would ever be "alone" or wanting for female companionship. I always feel like I'm within a few minutes of meeting a woman, whether that's on the street, or online, or whatever. I got past my scarcity mindset, and now life truly feels abundant. And not just with women.
Now I spend my time helping other guys get to that same place in their lives.
(I've been sworn to secrecy about some of the other crazy times, like waking up in the back of a truck full of band equipment… but that's another story…)
What is it about "Dating Dynamics" that you feel differs from the competition?
I teach a holistic approach to dating. I don't JUST teach guys how to be attractive to QUALITY women – and I teach them how to attract friends, success, money, and a balanced peaceful lifestyle. I teach guys the BIG picture of how success with women translates to the rest of their lives – and how to do it with honor and integrity.
Guys get massive results from what I teach because I'm not giving you an imaginary magic pill or magic bullet. There is none, and I'm sure there's quite a few guys reading this that have bought some program in the hopes that it would be.
I give guys lasting and deeply fulfilling success in their dating – and in the rest of their life, too.
How do you feel about natural, improvised conversations vs. canned scripted material in meeting and at-tracting women?
I know there are a lot of guys out there that see this picture as very black-and-white. There's one camp that thinks that you should NEVER use anything memorized or pre-rehearsed because that's fake.
The other camp thinks that you must use canned material because you can apply it in a predictable way.
Here's what I feel…
You DO need pre-rehearsed material to get the hang of how social interactions work.
BUT only as long as you need them to start generating your own results.
If you're talking with most people with no problem, and your social ability is okay in 90% in most situations, but when you get in front of a woman that you're attracted to you lose your cool, it's not a matter of what you're saying. It's what you're THINKING. And that's part of my Alpha Man operating system that I show guys.
You want to shift to natural conversation as quickly as you possibly can. Anything you've rehearsed or memorized is only a tool to get you past those occasional moments where you have a brain-fart, or you blank out because you're in a low-energy state.
Your first focus should be relaxation and calming your mind, then use something convenient to open the conversation. From there, your focus is purely on the "vibe" in the interaction. The "vibe" is the ability to be in-the-moment with a woman and get improvisational with her. It's not hard, and again, it's a huge topic to discuss
here. I wrote a book on vibing that guys can get from me directly.
Do you have a favorite opening line when you go up to approach women?
I like to let the situation dictate what I say to a woman because it allows for such a natural flow to the interaction. Being authentic is the most important way to walk up and start a conversation. However, there are some things that I will say if my mind is blank, and that's where having a few good "lines" memorized can come in handy. (Let me emphasize here that this does not mean you should rely on canned routines for your conversation. ONLY the opening should be memorized.)
One of my favorite openers is this: "Hi, I just had a second to come over and let you know that I think you have a really great energy about you. I really liked that about you and I thought you should know. My name is Carlos…"
It's simple and direct, and it NEVER fails to get a positive response from a woman – if it's delivered with sincerity. Again, I won't say it if it isn't true.
What type of guy do you feel is most likely to succeed with "dating dynamics?"
Let's put it this way – if you're getting all the women you need in your life right now, and your confidence is through the roof every single day, you probably don't need my programs. But if you feel there's an area of your life – and not just your dating life! – that you want to take care of – to find more passion and purpose, to live what I call the Alpha Lifestyle, then you owe it to yourself to take a look at the information I share with guys every week. And especially if you've tried other "seduction" programs and found that you aren't making the progress you think you should.
Thank you Carlos for your time. If guys reading this wanted to take advantage of your services and products, how would they go about doing it?
The best way for them to get acquainted with what I have to offer is to get on my free newsletter –> Free Escalation Report from Carlos Xuma
I've got a ton of great information, including audio and video training on everything from inner confidence to how to approach. Then, if it makes sense, they can take a look at my other programs that can help them massively increase their skills with women.

Start by assembling your fabrics and glasses to get an idea of what size you will need to end up with.
So many combinations. Hmmm, what to chose?
this is pretty genius. Pretty and genius.Nice job.ReplyDelete
Such a great idea! I often wonder what to do as well and end up throwing them out.ReplyDelete
I actually don't mind doing buttonholes, but anything that uses the zipper foot - forget about it. Pretty fabrics! Great idea for the bits and scraps! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Lady, you get more done in one day than I get done in an entire week. You never cease to amaze with your creativity!
Great idea! I have all those sample bits as well. I need a case for my sunglasses. I might just have to copy :)ReplyDelete
Just found your blog via Stricly Simple Style! What a great use for scraps! I have tons that I just can't part with. It's ridiculous, but it feels wasteful to throw them away. I've started making flower pins but that will eventually get old.
Looking forward to more ideas!
Great idea. With all of the projects you do it would make a great series if you posted about what to do with leftover supplies. Hint: I currently have about 492 cans of spray paint that are only about a quarter full.)ReplyDelete
What a neat idea :) And I hate my current sunglasses case, this would be perfect!
Your comment about the chloe bag made me laugh! I wish we could both have that bag.
This is such a cute DIY project! Would keep my sunglasses safe.
This is great. TFS!! Stopping by from The Shabby Chic Cottage and your newest follower.
Here is what I posted: http://craftybrooklynarmywife.blogspot.com/2011/05/wool-buffalo-check-coat-finished.html
Too cute! All of that fabric looks fun. Agreed on the button hole/torture device that comes with a sewing machine. I too have only ever been able to accomplish lame button holes. :) Looks like it did the trick, though! Can't wait to see your other ideas.ReplyDelete
Super cute! I've never attempted a button hole....now I'm even more scared...but it may be worth it to have a cute sunglasses holder! :)ReplyDelete
This is a great idea! I think these want to be on etsy. :)ReplyDelete
Carol, this is awesome! I've never attempted a buttonhole, and after hearing your description I might never end up trying it, but the finished product is lovely!!!ReplyDelete
So cute Carol, you are so talented! Andrea xoReplyDelete
what a great idea -- you creative gal you!ReplyDelete
Awesome idea and you're really just overflowing with them!:-)ReplyDelete
What a fantastic idea Carol! You're so creative. I love this, cause some fabrics are just to pretty to even throw away the scraps :)
Nancy xo
Brilliant. Much better than just stuffing them into a shoebox like I do! This is the reason (among many others) that I've awarded you the Versatile Blogger Award. Stop by today for more details!ReplyDelete
This is a fantastic idea!! And so pretty too! {Love your blog!}
Thanks so much for stopping by The Fancy Life! Hope you have a wonderful weekend :)

What a great idea, this turned out fantastic! You are seriously the DIY queen.ReplyDelete
What a great idea! Thanks so much for linking up to Fabulous Friday.
Warmly, Michelle
Great idea...I guess we shouldn't throw away our stuff when we can come up with something amazing out of it. Thanks for sharing...I love all the fabrics!!!!!
Those are beautiful!!! Great job!! :)
<3 Belly B
Brilliant and so stylish too!ReplyDelete
Such a fantastic idea!! Thanks for the inspiration and stopping by my blog!! I'm a new follower!!ReplyDelete
Very clever! And love that fabric. xoReplyDelete
Genius! Love it! Hope you're having a great weekend!
I just wanted to say that I can't wait to start photographing these awesome projects of yours!!! Love these!ReplyDelete
Love this and once again, I'm filled with envy for people who can sew!ReplyDelete
Adorable and ingenius! I love that you made something functional from fabric samples. Totally Brilliant! Plus, how cute is that case? I wish I wasn't totally lame and actually knew how to sew! Ha!ReplyDelete
Seems like a pretty inexpensive idea.
Now if I can only find some shades for my face!
Rashon aka Mr. Goodwill Hunting
I absolutely love the fabrics you used and what you made with them! You are so crafty cool:DReplyDelete
Carol, what a great project I think it turned out great!! I know what you mean about the buttonhole attachment!
Maybe Velcro and sew the button for decoration.
Art by Karena
Do Come and enter my Great Giveaway from Serena & Lily!
You will love it!
great job! I love your fabric choice :)ReplyDelete
What a super fun idea! Love it! :)ReplyDelete
You know I did this for my smart phone. Since it is an expensive phone and I tend to dump it in my purse with everything else which could scratch my screen. And for shades its also good!
BIG thanks for the award I'll have to put this into a cartoon.
You get timmy hugs!!!
great idea and it looks fun to make.ReplyDelete

We all have that friend who really is a dirtbag to the core; great to get you out of a bind, a little rough around the edges but reliable when you have nowhere else to turn. Definitely not the person you want to introduce to grandma or at family functions, but your go-to when you are only given one phone call. The Kuat The Dirtbag 9mm Fat Tire Rack was created with your dirtbag friend in mind; reliable, able to mount to any flat surface, and doesn't mind getting a little dirty sometimes.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.
Would you like to compare the products you have selected now?
