Comfort and bounce-back: curried golden squash soup
We were in the mood for a taste of winter, so my teammates and I decided to book our annual Kinder field trip to the pumpkin patch for this past Thursday. Once we received confirmation, the deal was sealed with Old Man Winter. It's kind of like washing your car to secure rain (except in a drought year). Five of six years of pumpkin patch excursions have been heralded by snow. On Wednesday night, we had friends Tom and Rebecca over for dinner, and the snow had already begun falling in big, wet doily flakes. Fortunately, we had a warm and soothing menu planned to keep them from catching any colds. Not only were our newlywed friends headed to Morocco for their honeymoon in just two days, they are lovely and inspiring people, and so it goes without saying I wanted to put together a lovely dinner inspired by their favorite flavor combinations.
First course (dinner became courses mainly because of an awkward combination of space and tableware) was a curried squash soup I wanted to experiment with, and I confess there was a personal agenda involved. Last weekend was a disaster, as I caught an awful cold and was suffering with lingering fatigue and croup I just wanted done with before the upcoming Saturday long run, a 20+ miler. I love squash on any day, but this week, I've been obsessed with curry blends, ginger, and other powerhouses that awaken the senses and clear out the crud.
Curry spice blends are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric, which is "Indian saffron" given it's bold yellow color, has been used in Eastern medicines to treat various conditions, including menstrual pains, handy for about half the population on a regular basis. The force behind turmeric's yellow pigment is called curcumin. The anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin have been considered comparable to potent drugs like hydrocortisone, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory agents like Motrin. A key difference, however: curcumin isn't associated with toxicity. Other key spices in curry blends, including cumin, ginger, chili powder, and cinnamon, are all lauded for various potent benefits, ranging from alleviating nausea and gastrointestinal distress to boosting immunity, being anti-microbial, and more, naturally.
This soup is smooth, simple, rich, and excellent with a dollop of plain yogurt mixed with a little honey. Plus, it's cheerful and golden, and reminiscent of the day we were hoping for at the pumpkin patch. I hoped the actual pumpkin/squash power of it would bring us luck for the morning's field trip, but we woke up to this, anyway:
As the morning expanded, the sun began to shine, and the air was perfectly temperate after all. Two days later, our long run ticked over well, too, with the the last nine miles of the twenty being faster paced than the pathetic effort my runny-nosed, coughing, sleepy self of last week was able to manage over just 10K, carving this squash soup a spot in my list of indulged superstitions. Well, I guess that's not actually true...recovery is down to rest, patience, TLC, and time. But the curry can't have hurt, either.
Curried golden squash soup
Serves 6-8 (dinner servings)
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 1 acorn squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, peeled and diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- dash ground cinnamon
- dash red pepper flakes
- dash cayenne
- plain yogurt (about 1/3 cup) mixed with 1 tablespoon honey to serve
- Roast squash. I don't feel qualified to say how to do this, because I like to stick the whole squash in the oven when I'm already cooking at a high heat--400 F or over--leaving them in for 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Makes for easy removal of seeds and peel.
- Heat oil in a large pot; sweat the onion and garlic until onion starts to become translucent, about 2 minutes. Add spices.
- Puree squash and onion mixture in batches in a blender or food processor. Return to pot and add broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook a further 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Serve with yogurt mixture.

Generous Donor Provides Winter Wear for Youville's Children
With such a cold and unpredictable winter this year, our young moms and their children needed warm snowsuits, boots, hats and mitts more than ever. We are quite glad to see the snow melting, as we are always happy to see Spring on the horizon!
We are grateful to all of our donors who provide the outerwear that is needed for rapidly growing babies and toddlers! One such donor, who was recently interviewed for CBC Radio and Television, is our good friend Gavin. In a short time, Gavin has used his deft skills in finding the best shopping bargains, and has donated multitudes of different items to the centre, including food, clothing, baby bottles, hygiene products, toys, and more!
Gavin's generosity just keeps on giving, and recently he stopped by with brand new snowsuits and boots which were part of a shopping trip in which he saved 76% on his purchase (which is actually a low savings for him) and he was able to purchase snowsuits for Youville's children, as well as the Snowsuit Fund and the refugees from Syria.
Gavin was able to purchase $7044.45 worth of children's snowsuits and boots for $1642.26 to be shared between the organizations!!
As you can see from the photos above, our young moms were very pleased to be able to pick out some brand new winter wear for their little ones.
You can read Gavin's blog, "Frugalitiness: The Art of Being Frugal" and see all of the amazing work he is doing to help local charities such as Youville Centre. We also look forward to welcoming Gavin again when he speaks to our students in our new Transition Course, a course in which our young moms are learning more skills and gathering valuable information from staff and guest speakers alike, to even better prepare them for "life after Youville".
It's always a good day when Gavin stops by, and we so appreciate his generosity, attention to detail, and understanding of the needs of our clients.
Thank you, Gavin!

Election Day
It's Election Day! As I cast my vote for the next President of The United States, I am grateful for our democracy. Democracy is government by the people; a state of society characterized by formal equality of rights and privileges. How we utilize these freedoms varies from person to person.
We are a society of different cultures, values, beliefs and political views. This was ubiquitous at the polls this morning. Voters quietly discussed their preference for the country while shuffling through the long line to vote. At times a communal cheer for Hillary could be heard from the parking lot, while others simultaneously promoted Trump – even a few Third Party supporters chimed in, but it was all very civil.
I looked around at the large group of people who have gathered in the same place for the same reason, but with different intentions. A portion of this group most likely has values and ideas that closely match my own, while others endorse something vastly different – but that's what a democracy is and I'm good with it!
After casting my vote I drove away feeling patriotic and relatively significant. I decided to continue my day and hopefully the days to follow in a democratic state of mind. I will consciously respect other's opinions regardless of how much they differ from mine. I will not judge someone based on their choices and I will be more open minded to other's ideas and situations, not just in a political realm but in everyday life – unless I'm watching CNN, then all bets are off!

Well…I must admit. We took the last week off from our normal running routine. You know how easy it'd be to quit since we didn't run in over a week? For me…pretty darn easy.
We took the week off for a few different reasons. 1. I didn't feel like running with such a fresh tattoo, especially since it was on my leg and was pretty large. 2. We went out-of-town and weren't really sure how to occupy the kids while we were on our runs. Right now, we run around the park. They play…we run. Easy enough.
I'm glad I got my lazy butt up tonight and did it. I was dreading it. I thought it was going to be a lot harder since we'd taken that time off. Any other time, I'd probably just got out of routine and quit. I'm a big quitter when it comes to diet and exercise. It's just so much easier to be lazy and eat junk. I hate to admit that, but it's true.
I think I'm going to set a goal. I want to do a 5k. It's something I've never done before and I really wanna do it!! I'm thinking about Thanksgiving day. I think it'd be the perfect day and I'd never forget my first 5k being on Thanksgiving. Plus, it gives us plenty of time to get ready.
I'm so excited just thinking about it!
I'm off to do some 5k research.

For Arizona construction workers injured on job sites, workers' compensation can mean one less thing to worry about while they recover from their injuries. Unfortunately, sometimes construction accidents prove fatal, such as in a recent incident in another state. Tragically, the accident resulted in the death of a construction worker from a fall.
Compensation for families after fatal construction accidents
Workers' comp important for employees injured in work accidents
Arizona employers have a responsibility to make the workplace as safe and free from potential hazards as possible. In fact, a federal agency known as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigates work accidents to figure out what happened and whether the employer violated any safety guidelines. Moreover, injured workers are typically entitled to workers' compensation benefits to cover medical expenses and income lost while recovering. The surviving family members of a worker killed on-the-job are likewise entitled to survivor' benefits through the same state-regulated insurance system.
New tool hopes to assess gradual injuries before they begin
Sometimes, accidents at Arizona job sites happen in an instant. Often, though, office workers experience more gradual injuries, issues that build up over time after lots of repetitive movement or strain. University researchers have come up with what they hope will be a useful tool to quickly and easily determine stress damage caused by computer programs.
Arizona families eligible for workers' comp after work accidents
Luckily, on-the-job injuries at Arizona worksites are often minor. Even workers who are seriously injured are usually able to get the medical care or workers' compensation benefits they need in order to recuperate and get back on the job. Tragically, though, some work accidents are fatal.

Last week the Capybara project released version 0.4. Since the 0.3.9 release, which added support for third-party drivers, I've been working on turning Terminus into fully compatible driver for it. It's still an experiment but it's in the sort of semi-useful state that means I'm okay throwing it out to see if anyone's interested in it.
So what is it? Terminus is a Capybara driver where most of the driver functions
machine using the Capybara API, without any browser plugins or extensions. 'Any
browser' really means 'any browser that supports the
document.evaluate() XPath
API' for now, so you can't use IE, but the 'any machine' part is true: any
browser that can see your development machine can be controlled using Terminus,
including any phone, iPad or desktop machine on your local network.
attach_filedoes not work since file uploads cannot be controlled by JavaScript for security reasons.
- A few selectors and HTML5 features in the specs don't work due to browser inconsistencies.
- Redirects work but infinite redirection cannot be detected.
The original intention was for Terminus to be a tool for automating
cross-browser testing, so the lack of IE support is kind of a problem. I
actually went some way towards fixing this; I wrote a pretty stupid
document.evaluate() replacement called Pathology, and to support that a
PEG parser compiler called Canopy so I could write a declarative XPath
grammar. Unfortunately these don't yet perform well enough to support the
workload that Capybara throws at a browser.
I also want to add an API for switching browsers based on vendor and OS versions, but this release is just enough to support the required Capybara API.
You can find out more on the project's GitHub page, and installation is the
gem install terminus command – I'd love if a few of you could kick its
tyres a bit and figure out if it's actually useful for anything.

Somewhere to Stay
There are lots of accommodation options when planning your trip to Edinburgh. Whether it's a luxury apartment off the Royal Mile or a couch in a student's living room; a family-friendly hotel or a bed for one in a youth hostel, whatever you need, we're here to help.
The trick is to plan as far in advance as possible - particularly during the busy August festival season and Edinburgh's Hogmanay. Early planning and booking will ensure you can receive the best rates and city centre locations if you're keen to be in the heart of the action. However if you do make a last minute decision there will always be somewhere to stay, with LateRooms offering the most up to date rates. Start your search here.
Find deals from budget to luxury with our partner, LateRooms. Their site hosts a great range of B&B, guesthouse and hotel accommodation for all purse sizes. Rooms can be booked as early as a year in advance or on the same day. Sign up to their email updates to be kept in the loop regarding any upcoming deals.
Hotels across the region range from simple value accommodation to the unique grandeur of the city's range of world class options. There's also a wealth of boutique hotels and mid-price family friendly lodgings.
LateRooms and VisitScotland provide excellent booking services for hotels.
Bed & Breakfasts
Staying in Bed & Breakfast or Guesthouse accommodation in Edinburgh can be a wonderful opportunity to get to know and learn from Edinburgh locals as well as enjoy the experience of staying in traditional Victorian and Georgian homes.
Choose from everything from grand old buildings to intimate hideaways, with LateRooms and VisitScotland providing excellent booking services.
Rent a Room or Apartment
Websites like Airbnb and Holiday Lettings provide a place for homeowners to rent out either their full apartment or just a section of it - from rooms to couches. Whether you're looking for a budget accommodation option or an extravagant month-long luxury rental, you're sure to be able to find it here.
If you decide to use a short-term letting service, remember to protect yourself from potential scams by making sure the person you're talking to is a verified host.
As favourite destination for backpackers and budget travellers Edinburgh has numerous hostels to choose from. Some are privately owned and many are members of the Scottish Youth Hostels Association (SYHA) or Scottish Independent Hostels.
For solo visitors travelling to Edinburgh's Festivals, hostels are good value for money and a perfect place to meet like minded festival goers. As well as shared dormitory accommodation most hostels have one or two private single or double rooms.
Although Edinburgh is a very popular city destination, if you belong to communities such as Couchsurfing, you can make the most of this inexpensive way to experience the Festivals and meet some locals at the same time.
Remember, couchsurfing is more than accommodation, it's a community, so be prepared to dedicate some time to getting to know your host, swapping the experiences and warm fuzzies that turn the wheels of the share economy.
Love the city's festivals, but want to get that outdoors-y feeling too? Then consider packing light and camping at one of a number of sites in the Edinburgh area - you can bring your own tent, or if you'd prefer, some sites are set up to offer pre-pitched tents, for super easiness.
Check out the likes of VisitScotland or Pitchup.com for more information.

We were supposed to get an update on XI's localization this Fall (https://twitter.com/DragonQuest/stat...58148370038789), but it's already Winter and we've heard nothing.
I see the mods here stopped updating the news threads, when we finally got some localization announcements and other news (like the DQX event in FFXIV). It's true the forums are mostly dead anyway, but i find it quite sad.

Tara, another lively neighborhood in the West of Virginia, is a city of charm and grace. People here are quite hospitable and thanks to the touch of rural life. However, they tend to be treated with the same courtesy that they show towards their fellows. Keeping in mind the traditional values, we introduced the best car service in Tara. The car service in Tara answers to the call of almost all the inhabitants of Tara and they have embraced our services in quite a manner.
Among all other services that we are offering, the people of Tara loved one thing specifically about us. The driving prowess of our trained and experienced drivers is what attracts the attention of many as we have managed to employ the natives into our company because they are well-aware of the place. Indeed we have the GPS installed in every vehicle and the facility of GMaps is also there, but there are times when we need to go beyond the technological constraints. And our drivers are pretty good at this as they know how to get our customer to the destination.

A lazy Sunday afternoon at East Coast Park, cycling. It was raining earlier on, and luckily, it was not when we were there. The trees along the pathway gave us shade from the sun and it was cooling to ride under these big umbrellas. I like the feeling.

Claude Bouchard is from the famous Bouchard Pere et Fils winery (8 generations of family winemaking - they acquired some of their most prestigious land right after the French Revolution). In 1978 Claude met Robert Mondavi who convinced him to come to CA. After a visit to the Duoro Valley in Portugal he set out to find property with a specific soil type (schist soils). He found a property with 100 year old vines which he now calls home.

Our full range of relocation and storage services will exceed your expectations throughout your moving experience. Every move is different; we proudly offer our expertise to give our customers easy solutions for even the most challenging moves. Our experienced team members can provide you with excellent customer service, hassle-free assistance, so you can focus on your new journey. From any origin to any destination, we will get you there. We take the stress out of moving and work with your budget to ensure a safe, stress-free move. We will pick your items up from your home or business and store them at our storage facility until the shipment is ready to leave for the destination, providing you with a complete inventory of your belongings. All your belongings will be securely wrapped and/or properly boxed if it requires special care. Our state-of-the-art warehouse is fully-secured for the safe storage if your items are in-transit or long term storage.
We have developed a comprehensive Express Moving Van Lines Guide to make your packing process
run smoothly.
Label all boxes clearly and develop a simple system that allows your movers to know which box belongs in which room
Do not mix delicate items with non-delicate items.
Try to use boxes specifically designed for moving, rather than finding makeshift boxes
Do not separate items that belong together. It can be a painful process trying to locate screws and other small parts
Wrap delicate items such as china and glassware in clean paper. Use newspaper only for extra padding as the ink can ruin the items.
After you have packed your delicates in a sturdy box, any empty spaces should be filled with extra paper to prevent items from moving around
Make sure you label the boxes DELICATE or GLASS so movers will take extra care with them
Washing Machine – stuff towels inside the tub to prevent it from rotating during the move
Freezer/Refrigerator – defrost and dry the interior, make sure the refrigerator stands upright for 24 hours before plugging it in
Cover edges (such as table corners) with a rag and a rubber band. This will prevent them from damaging other items during the move
Keep heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top
These items should be boxed upright and padded on every side
Extra bubble wrap should be applied to tv screens and computer monitors
Wind electrical cords, fastening them so they do not dangle
These travel best in wardrobe boxes or suitcases
Secure all drawers with blankets and padding before tying them with rope (tape can ruin the finish)
Do not overload the drawers with heavy items
Limiting cartons, when possible, to a maximum weight of 50 pounds to make handling easier.
Wrapping items carefully.
Providing plenty of cushioning to absorb shock.
Using sturdy cartons that close.
Making sure cartons are firmly packed and do not rattle, bulge outward or bend inward.
Not mixing items from different rooms in the same carton, when possible.
Start with out-of-season items. Next, pack things used infrequently. Leave until last the things you'll need until moving day.
Empty drawers of breakables, spillables, items not recommended for inclusion in your shipment and anything that would puncture or damage other items. However, blankets, sweaters, lingerie, bath towels and similar soft, lightweight goods may be left in drawers.
Pack similar items together. Do not pack a delicate china figurine in the same carton with cast-iron frying pans, for example.
Keep all parts or pairs of things together. For example, curtain rod hangers, mirror bolts and other small hardware items should be placed in plastic or cloth bags (which can be purchased from the moving company) and taped or tied securely to the article to which they belong.
Wind electrical cords, fastening them so they do not dangle.
Wrap items individually in clean paper; use tissue paper, paper towels or even facial tissue for fine china, crystal and delicate items. Colored wrapping draws attention to very small things. Use a double layer of newspaper for a good outer wrapping.
Place a two- or three-inch layer of crushed paper in the bottom of a carton for cushioning.
Build up in layers, with heaviest things on the bottom, medium weight next and lightest on top.
As each layer is completed, fill in empty spaces firmly with crushed paper and add more crushed paper to make a level base for the next layer, or use sheets or cardboard cut from cartons as dividers.
Cushion well with crushed paper; towels and lightweight blankets also may be used for padding and cushioning. The more fragile the item, the more cushioning needed. Be sure no sharp points, edges or rims are lift uncovered.
Pack small, fragile, individually wrapped items separately or a few together in small boxes, cushioning with crushed or shredded paper.
Place small boxes in a single large box, filling in spaces with crushed paper.
Avoid overloading cartons, but strive for a firm pack that will prevent items from shifting; the cover should close easily without force, but should not bend inward.
Seal cartons tightly with tape except for those containing items listed on United's High-Value Inventory form. These must be left open for the van operator's inspection.
As you finish with each carton, list the contents on the side of the carton (for easy viewing while cartons are stacked) and in a special notebook. You might want to number and/or code the cartons as well.
Indicate your name and the room to which each carton should be delivered at destination. Tape a sign on the door of each room at destination corresponding to the carton labels so movers can get the cartons into the proper rooms quickly.
Put a special mark on cartons you want to unpack first at destination.
Moving company packers use a dish pack — an exceptionally sturdy corrugated carton of double-wall construction — for china, glassware and other fragile items less than 18 inches in size. Unless cartons of similar strength and construction are available, you might want to purchase several dish packs from the moving company.
Wrap all pieces of china and glassware individually in clean paper. Using several sheets of paper, start from the corner, wrapping diagonally and continuously tucking in overlapping edges. A double layer of newspaper serves well as an outer wrapping. A generous amount of paper padding and cushioning is required for all china and glassware. Label cartons, "FRAGILE — THIS SIDE UP."
Larger china and glass plates, platters and other flat pieces are excellent as the lowest layer in a dish pack.
Place cushioning material in the bottom of a carton. Wrap each piece individually then wrap up to three in a bundle with a double layer of newspaper. Place these bundled items in the carton in a row on edge.
Surround each bundle with crushed paper, being careful to leave no unfilled spaces. Add two or three inches of crushed paper on top of the bundle to protect rims and make a level base for the next tier. Horizontal cardboard dividers can be helpful in keeping layers level.
Smaller plates, saucers and shallow bowls can make up a second layer. Wrap and pack in the same way as larger items.
Depending on their weight, these might be used either as the bottom or middle layers. Wrap the same way as flat plates.
Stand shallow bowls (soup plates, etc.) on edge in the carton and deep ones (such as mixing bowls) nested two or three together, upside down on their rims.
Wrap sugar bowl lids in tissue, turning them upside down on top of the bowl. Then, wrap both together in clean paper, followed by an outer double layer of newspaper. Wrap cream pitchers in clean paper and then a double outer wrapping. Place sugar bowls, cream pitchers, sauce containers and similar pieces upright in the carton. Complete the layer as for plates.
Even when using a dish pack and mini-cells for china, wrap cups individually, protecting handles with an extra layer of paper. Then, pack cups upside down.
If not using a dish pack or cells, wrap cups as previously described in a double layer of paper and place them upside down on rims in a row on an upper layer with all handles facing the same direction. Complete the layer as for plates.
Because air causes silver to tarnish, all silver pieces should be enclosed completely in clean tissue paper or plastic wrap. Holloware — including bowls, tea sets and serving dishes — should be wrapped carefully as fragile items and packed like china.
Loose flatware may be wrapped either individually or in sets, and in clear plastic or tissue.
If silverware is in a chest, you still might want to wrap the pieces individually and reposition them in the chest. Or, fill in all empty spaces in the chest with tissue paper or paper towels. Wrap the chest with a large bath towel.
Wrap first in tissue paper, paper towels or facial tissue. Then, wrap carefully in newsprint that has been crushed and flattened out. Be sure the items are well-protected with plenty of cushioning.
Small mirrors, plaques and pictures should be wrapped individually in tissue paper. A bath towel or small blanket makes an excellent outer wrapping and padding for glass. Place items on edge in a carton.
Many moving companies use a material called bubble pack (plastic with bubbles) for exceptionally fragile items. If an item is extremely valuable as well as delicate, it might be wise to have it packed for you. Special materials might be needed for maximum protection.
An arrangement of artificial flowers should be packed in its own carton. Wrap carefully in plastic wrap, tissue paper or paper towels. If possible, fasten the base of the floral piece to the bottom of the carton. Label the carton "FRAGILE — THIS SIDE UP."
For instructions on moving live plants, ask your agent for a "Moving With House Plants" brochure.
After removing the light bulb and lamp harp, wrap the base, harp and bulb separately in newsprint. (Use paper pads for large lamps.) Place them together in a carton, filling spaces with crushed paper. More than one well-cushioned lamp may be packed in a carton.
Never wrap lamp shades in newspaper. Carefully wrap each shade in three or four sheets of tissue paper, a pillowcase or a large lightweight towel.
To allow for movement, use a sturdy carton at least two inches larger all around than the largest shade. Line it with clean paper, using crushed paper under the lamp shade to create a protective layer, but not around the shade. A small shade can be nested inside a large one, if you are sure they will not touch. Only one silk shade should be placed in a carton to avoid stretching the silk.
Do not pack other items with shades. Label cartons "LAMP SHADES — FRAGILE."
It is best to have the moving company crate large Tiffany-type or other glass lamp shades or chandeliers.
Glass table tops, marble slabs, large mirrors, paintings, statues & large vases
All are easily damaged. Glass might shatter, and marble slabs can crack at veins. Paper never should be permitted to touch the surface of an oil painting.
It's best to consult with your moving company about custom-made cartons and crates for items of this kind.
Pack them either flat or with the spine touching the bottom of the carton. Do not pack with spine facing up, as glue can break away from the binder. Pack books of the same general size together.
Expensively bound volumes or those of special sentimental value should be individually wrapped before packing.
Because books are heavy, be sure to use small cartons.
Family photographs, videos, slides and negatives should be packed in separate cartons rather than being combined with other household items.
Protect framed photos with padding and cushioning, standing them on edge in a carton. Label cartons clearly for easy identification.
If possible, carry irreplaceable items with you to destination.
Remove these items from the stereo or storage cabinet. Keep in mind records are heavy and should be packed in small cartons.
If records are not in jackets, wrap individually in tissue paper or plastic wrap to protect them from being scratched.
Stand compact discs and records on edge, never flat, on a layer of crushed paper. Support at both ends with a large, hardcover book or several pieces of cardboard cut to fit. Top with another layer of crushed paper. Identify contents on the outside of the box and mark "FRAGILE."
Cassette tapes should be placed in the protective plastic box in which they came, if possible, and then wrapped individually in crumpled paper. Place individual tapes either vertically or horizontally on a couple of layers of crushed paper.
Clothing left on hangers and placed in wardrobe cartons used by moving companies will arrive at destination wrinkle-free. You might want to purchase several of these special cartons from your moving company. One will hold about two feet of compressed clothing on hangers.
If wardrobe cartons are not used, each garment should be removed from its hanger, folded and placed in a suitcase or a carton lined with clean paper. Some lightweight clothing — such as lingerie and sweaters — may be left in bureau drawers.
Hats may be left in hatboxes and placed in a large carton. Or, stuff the crown of each hat with crumpled tissue paper; wrap tissue loosely around the outside and place in a carton lined with clean paper, with the heavier hats on the bottom. Don't pack anything else with hats. Label the carton "FRAGILE."
Footwear may be left in shoeboxes and placed in a large carton. Or, wrap each shoe individually and then in pairs. Footwear should be cushioned to avoid damage to heels or ornaments. Don't pack heavy items on top of shoes.
It is recommended that you take your furs with you rather than having them moved on the van.
Blankets, sheets, tablecloths, towels, pillowcases and other linens may be protected by a large plastic bag and packed in a carton that has been lined with clean paper.
Wrap your most prized linens in tissue. Also, linens and bedding are good for cushioning or padding many types of items.
Special mattress cartons in various sizes are available from your moving company for a nominal charge. Pillows may be placed in bureau drawers or packed in cartons.
Clothing wardrobes are ideal for moving curtains and draperies. Fold them lengthwise, place over a padded hanger, pin securely and hang in the wardrobe.
Draperies and curtains also may be folded and packed in cartons lined with clean paper or plastic wrap.
Leave rugs on the floor for the moving company to handle. If they've just been returned from the cleaners, leave them rolled.
Pre-move preparation is required for many major appliances. Set an appointment with a service technician to prepare your major appliances for shipment — or have your agent send someone out who is authorized to perform this service.
Items such as clocks, small radios and other small appliances should be wrapped individually and packed in a carton cushioned with crushed paper.
Small clocks, transistor radios and similar items can be packed in the same carton with linens or as extra items with lamp bases. Make sure cords are wrapped so as not to scratch or otherwise damage items.
Steam irons should be emptied of all water, wrapped and placed in the cushioned bottom of a box.
Remove all batteries from small appliances before packing.
Long-handled garden tools, as well as brooms and mops, should be bundled together securely. Attachments should be removed from power tools and packed separately.
Hand tools may be left in tool boxes and the spaces filled with crushed paper, or they may be packed according to general packing rules. Always use small cartons because tools usually are heavy.
Before moving day, dismantle children's swing sets, TV antennas and garden sheds. Gather pieces and bundle together with nylon cord. Place small hardware in a cloth bag and securely attach to corresponding equipment.
Prepare lawn mower by draining gasoline prior to the day of loading.
Take only food items you are sure will travel well. Do not take anything perishable. In the winter months, do not take anything subject to freezing.
Open boxes of dried or powdered foods such as rice, macaroni and cereals should be sealed with tape. Small containers of herbs and spices, condiments, bouillon cubes, gelatin, flavorings, etc. should be placed together in a small box before packing in a large carton. Cover holes of shaker-type containers and seal with tape.
Since canned goods are heavy, the amount placed in one carton should be limited.
A word about special household items
The popularity of home electronic items has added a new dimension for the do-it-yourself packer. Home computers, microwave ovens and stereo systems require special care to ensure they arrive at destination safely.
If you saved the original cartons and packing materials in which these items arrived, it is best to repack using those materials. Should you not have these materials, you might want to contact a store selling your particular item and ask if discarded packing materials are available.
Your United agent is familiar with current techniques for properly packing electronic items and can assist you with advice or pack the items for you. It is your responsibility to disconnect electronic items prior to packers' arrival.

This fortune from a cookie I got recently is surprisingly relevant. It reminded me that I have a parking ticket from Old Sacramento I still need to pay. I thank the simulation for this reminder and agree that, although it seems at times that no one is paying attention, that no one cares, the system works… on many levels.
I see it now, thankfully. The system is much smarter than I once believed. Enjoy the wisdom. Enjoy what finds you.

Spotlight On Art and Art Education Instructor and Ed.D.CT Candidate Hong Wan Tham ☆
Hong Wan Tham received his BFA from the University of North Texas and his MFA from Pratt Institute. He is a working artist and teaches sculpture for the Art and Art Education program at TC. A citizen of Singapore and a former Malaysian, Hong Wan finds that his experiences living in both countries and in the U.S. allow him to contemplate his cultural identity—an exercise that is a vital component of his studio art practice.
Prior to TC, your education was in studio art practice. When did you decide you wanted to teach?
I always wanted to be a teacher. I did my Bachelor's and Master's in studio art practice, but it is quite difficult to survive as an artist where I came from, so I decided to pick up a teaching position without hesitation.
I taught high school for 10 years in Singapore, and then I felt the need to do something else. I wasn't really doing my artwork because I was too occupied with job expectations. It was fun and I liked teaching, but it was strenuous and I was left with little time for other commitments. Also, I found myself trapped in a dilemma: I was struggling to find my own footing against the hegemony of an examination-oriented education system. I needed a break.
It has always been my goal to teach at the college level, so I decided to pursue a Doctoral degree in education in 2007. I had been to New York City before and I really liked what the city offered to an art-lover. So I decided to come back to study. Seriously, I didn't really know much about Teachers College other than that it was in New York City, it was affiliated to Columbia University, and that it offered a Doctoral degree in education. TC is the only school that I applied to.
I hardly see myself as a "full-time" artist. In order to survive as such, you have to sell your artwork and that entails many thing that are not in my personal favor. However, when I teach studio art, I can do my own artwork as a "hobby", and I will actually have a job! To teach art is a great possibility.
How did you find yourself teaching in Singapore, after studying in Texas and New York?
Originally I am Malaysian. I went to North Texas as a Music major and switched to Art after about four semesters. After graduation from Pratt, I went back to Malaysia and then got a job in Singapore. I worked there for 10 years and they gave me citizenship. So now I am Singaporean too. It is a long story!
And now you are American as well!
Yes, I have been here on and off for 14 years. I guess it really depends on what you mean by "American," but to think about it, I have been in this country long enough that I think I can call it a home.
Did it take coming to TC to get your art practice back?
When I was in Singapore, people would say to me, "Where is your artwork?" I would answer, "My students are my artwork." Somehow I didn't feel I had the creativity. I guess I didn't really have the conversation going on and there were just too many job and other commitments that I felt drained. After coming back to New York City, it took me a couple of years to get back into this studio art practice type of routine again. It's a great struggle in the beginning but I would say the journey of searching a way back is fun and rewarding!
What medium are you working in now?
I had been a GA in the Ceramics Studio for a few semesters and it gave me unlimited access to the materials and equipment in the studio, so clay has now become a very important component in my artwork.
Nevertheless, I am one of those people who doesn't focus on using only one media. For example, in Singapore at the school where I used to teach, I was asked to help out with the scout troop. It was a part of the school's extracurricular offerings. I knew nothing about scouting when I first came on board so I went for a few courses. It actually opened up other possibilities to enrich my studio art language. I learned how to tie knots from the courses that I took and also from my fellow scout students, which in a way became the method I used to make wooden structures in sculpting.
I also like combining things I've found along the way, such as giving something that is going to be thrown away a last chance to shine or incorporating organic elements that I find along the river or in the wilderness into my artwork. I guess there is something about the organic or rustic quality in the world around us that really intrigues my sense of feeling.
Does being an artist yourself makes you a better art teacher?
Yes, definitely, because you know the process of creating artwork. First, to me, art making is not the final product, but rather the whole process of it. So you can actually share with your students the process you are going through. Individuals have different paths in creating the artwork, and you, as a teacher will know how to go through a process and guide students along the way. You know what the whole thing entails.
Can you please explain the balance between theory and practice in your program?
At Pratt we focused on the philosophy of art practice. At TC, the focus is more on pedagogical theory and educational history. So the theory I've received at TC completed the whole picture for me. Being an artist and an educator, you need to know both. It's a great program.
Macy Gallery is unique because it's a space not just where art hangs, but where people also work and study. What has been your experience there?
My art has been shown there often, and it has been a very good experience. Generally, when people put up their artwork in galleries, they would worry about whether it will sell or not. Since Macy is non-profit, I don't need to think about that. I don't have to worry if it is marketable or not, and that gives me a lot of leeway and opens possibilities. Personally, I don't want to bring business into art making. That's not my priority. To me, artwork is like my diary and writing my story. At Macy, I don't have to worry if people want to buy it, and that adds an interesting dynamic.
Curating art shows in an academic environment is great too: I have curated shows at Macy Gallery and feel like I have much freedom in deciding what I want to do and show.
What will be your contribution to the upcoming NAEA (National Art Education Association) convention, which will be this March in New York?
I heard that Professor Burton is planning a group show, and I'm very interested in taking part in that. I'm looking forward to it.
What is your long-term goal?
I am looking for a college-level teaching job, preferably in studio art like ceramics and sculpture. I went back to Singapore this summer and I had that same feeling—that I'm not ready to go back. So I will stay in New York a bit longer and see what kind of job I can get here. I will see how it goes. I am writing my dissertation right now, and was planning my defense for next spring semester. I'll hang around a little bit more!

While many purchases are driven by the consumers' need and budget, there are also those that are motivated by emotions. It is common for people to emotionally respond to items that seem to offer benefits or suit their lifestyle. This is why when creating ads, it is important to incorporate colours, which are known to trigger emotional responses by influencing how customers feel.
Black-and-white ads can raise brand awareness, but they are likely to be forgotten by most readers. While adding colour does not guarantee a purchase, printing service companies in Australia note that this can make the font, images, illustrations and other design elements stand out. It can give your brochure or any other print ad a better chance of holding readers' attention and being remembered.
Better ad recall
While black-and-white marketing materials are cheaper, you are likely to persuade people in trying your product with a coloured ad. In fact, research suggests that colours have a positive effect on how people recall advertisements. Readers are likely to mention the colours in the ad they just read or saw, or how it caught their eye because of the display of colours.
Better page scanning
Colours make a page easier to scan, as it creates a contrast that grabs people's attention. Black-and-white pages, on the contrary, offer no distinct focal point to catch the reader's eye. The words, pictures and other elements will seem dull and boring, and this will make the ad easier to skip or go straight to rubbish bins.
The case for black-and-white ads
When used strategically, black and white can be a winner and create a positive response. It can also garner attention with a hint of colouration that is added correctly. This does not mean, however, that you should dismiss using colour in your ads, especially if you believe that it will make your print materials stand out.
In general, colour ads cost more and require a more detailed design, but they deliver a better return on investments. If you are thinking of printing brochures, leaflets, and other print material for your business, do not hesitate to use colour. You can also benefit from printing consulting services to have quality results.

Flotek Industries Raises $16 Million via Private Placement
Flotek Industries, Inc. announced it has closed a private placement of convertible preferred stock, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, for gross proceeds of around $16 million via private placement.

Flotek said that, giving pro forma effect to the completed private placement, its stockholders' equity as of June 30 is greater than $50 million, so the company continues to be in compliance with the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange in New York.

What happens when you put 15 thousand people in a space observatory site and throw in some music and a lot of science?
Well, of course, it's going to be a thrilling and insightful weekend to celebrate the Royce's first outing into the world of public engagement at Bluedot 2018.
As the Institute looks to solve such pressing challenges as energy storage for electric cars and clean water filtration using 2D materials; we pitched up at Jodrell Bank under the renowned Lovell telescope to explore materials science from the Stone Age to the Carbon Age.
Once festival goers had suited up in cleanroom attire, gone through a decontamination zone and explored a simulation of the National Graphene Institute Laboratories; it was time to hit the Royce Lab and tackle six interactive challenges to secure a prize and become an esteemed member of #GenerationRoyce.
The Charpy Impact Tester was undoubtedly the favourite challenge with volunteers from across the Royce partners explaining how the microstructures of materials influence their impact resistance with chocolate. By understanding the properties of materials, festival-goers were able to relate the make-up of Mars, Crunchies and Wispas to real-world applications in construction.
Describing her thoughts on the weekend, Royce Communications Manager Eva Dring highlighted that:
'A big part of Royce is inspiring the next generation of scientists to remind people that being a scientist is about using your imagination and asking questions.
It was great to meet so many enthusiastic and intelligent young people whose inquisitive natures will ensure that the future of materials science is in safe hands!'
The Royce's aim to make, assemble, test and characterise materials was apparent throughout the Lab, and inspired by England's surprise success in this summer's World Cup, the 3D printed replica of the trophy secured one young boy the goody bag prize in Friday's photo competition.
The Generation Royce stand hosted over 2000 attendees across the weekend and has left us ready to engage the masses in all things materials science. Our three top tips for public engagement have to be:
- Always begin an activity with a big question
- Always include a competitive element
- Always have a chocolate give away
Take a look at our Flickr gallery for highlights from this year's Bluedot festival and visit our Twitter account to catch up with the best moments.

Determinism vs Free will Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
Sophocles' play Oedipus explores many aspects of human existence; however, one of its sole themes is determinism versus free will. Sophocles suggests that every individual is not only born with a preordained destiny, but also granted the abilities to mold and shape the plots of their own lives. Throughout the play, many characters encounter situations where the decisions they make alter the outcome of their futures. In the play Oedipus the King, characters such as Jocasta, Laius and Oedipus face decisions and then subsequently struggle with the emanations of making such choices.
"… fate would make him meet his end through a son, a son of his and mine… Is left by Laius (through other hands of course) upon a trackless hillside." (P40. Jocasta). After the prophecy from the oracle, Jocasta and Laius abandon their infant son in the trackless hillside to die for a prophecy with questionable accuracy. The action of Jocasta and Laius is out of freewill and is not god determined, because as a mother and a father, they both encompass the ability of making decisions for themselves and their infant son.
However, in this case, Oedipus is a helpless infant and did not possess the ability of making any choices. The place and setting of his birth determined the outcome of his parents abandoning him. The decision Jocasta and Laius made is out of free will, and in this scenario, Oedipus was a victim of fate. Oedipus was indeed once a victim of fate. However, a single instant in his life does not have to shape the rest of his existence. Throughout the play, the audience is made aware of the choices Oedipus could have made to avoid his tragic ending. "At dinner once, a drunkard in his cup brawls out 'Aha! You are not your father's son.' Or I will make my mother wife, my father dead: my father Polybus, who reared and gave me life (Oedipus Pg44-45). During scenes of the play, numerous hints about his origin were revealed, but Oedipus chose to remain oblivious about the possibility that he killed his father and married his mother.
If everything was predetermined, Oedipus would be innocent and morally blameless because he would have no control of the events in his life. But because Oedipus senses remorse and liability for his actions, he finally realizes that he did have a choice in his actions. In the end, he blinds himself to avoid the sight of the people around him; it verifies that only he is to be blamed for the mistakes he chose to make. Therefore, in this case, Oedipus is no long a victim of fate; he encompasses the ability to decide for himself, which he failed to do. Oedipus's downfall is not completely predetermined, but is instead the result of the decisions he made out his free will. Much like Oedipus, his mother/wife Jocasta makes the same mistake which was a reluctantcy to face her shortcomings.
"So there! Apollo fails to make the son his father's murderer, and the father (Laius sick with dread) murdered by his son. All foreseen by fate and seers, of course, and all to be forgotten" (Jocasta Pg40). After abandoning Oedipus at infancy, Jocasta and Laius choose to believe, despite having no proof that their child was dead, and the oracle's prophecy was over. The prophecy that her son will kill his own father, and marry his mother may be preordained. But Jocasta still could've had the power to shape her own destiny by making different choices. However, Jocasta chooses to overlook all the given clues and remain insensible, which resulted in her failure at being a mother, a wife, and the captain of her own life.
The play suggests that it is insignificant weather our lives are predetermined or not. What is important is that after we are born, we have the ability and the freewill to mold our lives into what we desire. We are specie that is capable of creating our own footprints in our lives. Although we are affected by forces which we have no control over, we can learn to understand the movement of the universe surrounding us, and accord our actions so we are not fighting the current, but moving along with them.

Major Metro newspapers would have you believe Wynne's sex-ed curriculum has become Ontario Tory Party Leader's Patrick Brown's "Achilles heel". This follows a letter sent this week to voters in the riding of Scarborough Rouge River, who go to the polls Sept. 1 during a significant by-election.
Grits have held the riding since the beginning of time. This time Tories could take all the marbles based on present polls. With thousands of CHO signs on lawns and with PC canvassers in the thousands out knocking on doors seven days a week. Tories could win by a land slide.
With more than 14 separate ethnic groups in the riding, sex-ed is something talked about at home and only at home. So a letter this week, not approved by Brown, has thrown a monkey wrench into the mix. At least for now, but no fear.
The author has since said "it was a mistake" sending out the letter to home owners. Brown has been clear from day one, he supports the idea BUT if elected Premier in 2018 , he would seek more consultation before the final document is etched in stone.
So he has made his position crystal clear again , he has not equivocated as the pro Liberal press allege. Simcoe North MPP Brown, Ontario Progressive Conservative Party Leader, whose goal is to have an all-inclusive organization, would surely be the guy to seek input and consultation from across the province and well before the new sex-ed policy was amended and officially stamped under his regime.

"These were the shoes i wore when i met you." The wife at first giggled but then emphatically yelled, "THAT WAS EIGHT YEARS AGO!" The husband obviously frightened thought about it for a brief moment but then walked away. The next day feeling confident in his loving relationship with his dearest he went ahead and bought a new pair of shoes. That day he walked home with a newfound smile and a new appreciation for love. The door shut and in walked the husband with his shiny new shoes. The wife turned to him and asked, "Its about time you showed up. Where were you?" "Falling in love with the store clerk," said the husband. – 1/18/06

Arlington's Project PEACE is working to promote healthy dating relationships and prevent teen dating abuse locally. When we began this work, we faced with three major questions:
- What do we know about Arlington teens experiencing teen dating abuse?
- How do we promote healthy dating relationships and prevent dating abuse?
- What resources exist that teachers, faith leaders, parents, youth workers, coaches and others can use in a variety of settings and timeframes?
Below are the answers to these questions. We hope that sharing our results will make it easier for you to join in this effort.
What do we know about Arlington teens experiencing teen dating abuse?
The Arlington Partnership for Children and Families has been asking about physical dating violence victimization in the Youth Risk Behavior Survey since 2001. In 2010, the Partnership added questions on other unhealthy aspects of dating relationships. The most recent data show that:
- 499 students or 7% of youth in grades 8 to 12 have been physically hurt by a boyfriend or girlfriend in the past year.
- 1,212 students or 17% of youth in grades 8 to 12 had a romantic partner who always wanted to know where they were and
- 785 students or 11% of youth had had a partner who was verbally abusive.
- Students who reported both forms of abusive behavior (verbal abuse, needing to know whereabouts) were far more likely to report being hit, slapped or physically hurt by a boyfriend or girlfriend and far more likely to report being forced to have sexual intercourse.
- Teens who report verbal abuse and having partners who want to know where they are all of the time are at risk and need support.
When we looked at how to promote healthy dating relationships, Project PEACE considered the results of another survey administered by the Partnership, Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors "Assets" Survey. This survey asks about young people's relationships and experiences as well as their values and skills. The 2009 Developmental Assets survey shows that:
- Only 46% of Arlington 8th, 10th and 12th grade teens report having the skills they need to settle conflicts peacefully.
- Although 58% of 8th, 10th and 12th grade girls report having the skills they need to be good friends, only 33% of boys report those same skills.
Do you want to be able to estimate the number of teens experiencing teen dating abuse in your community?
Contact Arlington's Partnership for Children and Families to see what questions they have added to the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. This adaptation provides you with a local prevalence rate for teen dating abuse and information on a range of strengths and risky behaviors among teens in unhealthy relationships. Survey reports are online at: https://apcyf.arlingtonva.us/2016/04/youth-risk-behavior-survey-data/
Contact your State Department of Health. Virginia's Department of Health provides a helpful factsheet that describes abusive dating behaviors and State estimates of prevalence.
How do we promote healthy dating relationships and prevent dating abuse?
Arlington's Project PEACE identified resources that provide research-based strategies to promote healthy dating relationships and prevent teen dating abuse. Several of these resources are listed below.
"Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Sexual Violence & Intimate Partner Violence." Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance.
Excellent information on beginning or expanding primary prevention efforts that strengthen protective factors and address risk factors.
"Training Professionals in the Primary Prevention of Sexual and Intimate Partner Violence: A Planning Guide." Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010. http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/ipv-sv_program_activities_guide-a.pdf
"This Guide describes how to develop, implement, and evaluate a process for training professionals to engage in sexual violence and intimate partner violence prevention. The Guide is designed to help practitioners tailor individual trainings to different groups of professionals. It provides definitions of sexual violence and intimate partner violence and includes real-life examples to illustrate theory put into practice. In addition to step-by-step guidance on all the tasks necessary for planning and training, the Guide includes tip sheets, worksheets, checklists, and an extensive resource list."
"One in Spirit: Domestic Violence Advocates and Faith and Spiritual Leaders Working in Partnership to End Domestic Violence." Transforming Communities: Technical Assistance, Training and Resource Center (TC-TAT). 2010. http://www.transformcommunities.org/resources/one-spirit
A 54 page guide on developing prevention resources within faith communities, especially the prevention of teen dating abuse and the promotion of healthy relationships. Embedded with links to YouTube and online resources. Published December, 2010.

Reach Beyond: Celebrating our Graduates!/
For the fifth year in a row, the St. Stephen's Youth Programs community came together to celebrate all our high school seniors in our event entitled Reach Beyond. This year St. Stephen's celebrated our 20 high school seniors, all of whom not only graduated from high school on time, but graduated with a clear plan for what they are doing after high school. Students will be attending Wellesley College, Newbury College, U-Mass Amherst, Fitchburg State, Mars Hill University, U-Mass Dartmouth, MCLA, Quincy College, and Bunker Hill Community College, as well as participating in first year transition programs such as The Base Freshman Year, Year Up and Laboure Nursing School.
Reach Beyond provided the opportunity for seniors, families, St. Stephen's staff, other teenagers, mentors, volunteers and board members to come together and show our high school seniors how proud we are of them, and how we are going to continue to support them on their next steps. In addition, the event featured several key speakers who helped showcase the breadth of the St. Stephen's Community. Anna Rodriguez, a St. Stephen's alum, and 2018 graduate of Tufts University spoke about the power of changing the stereotype and narrative of young people of color. Maureen Burns, the former School and Community Partnerships Manager highlighted the power and importance of mentoring. Finally, Rebecca Jackson, a St. Stephen's Advisory Board Member and the Director of Training at Trinity Boston, highlighted the importance of continuing to persevere no matter what the world throws at you, and how proud our seniors should be of what they have accomplished.
In addition to celebrating their accomplishments, St. Stephen's was proud to announce and award the first ever St. Stephen's Support Fund scholarships. This fund was set up to celebrate seniors and alums who have shown themselves as leaders in the community, and is intended to help fill the financial gap of higher education that exists for so many students. This year 18 St. Stephen's seniors and alums were given awards through the fund. St. Stephen's is so proud of our young people who are all doing such amazing things, and wish them nothing but the best as they take these next steps.

Blow Dry Magic with Celeb Hairstylist Ted Gibson
By Mercedes Sanchez I have a confession: I don't blow dry my own hair-- ever. It just doesn't turn out the way I like it. However, being self sufficient is a must for every smart Latina. Our hair comes in various structures from straight, wavy, curly, coarse to fine and thick and there's a solution for all of us.
I have medium thick hair, and it's hard for me to blow dry it on my own. That's why I met up with Celebrity Hairstylist Ted Gibson at his Park Avenue salon to seek much needed help! Gibson has styled many celebs and has been on Oprah, Real Housewives of D.C. and What Not to Wear.
Here are some do-it-yourself tips on getting your hair from sham to Hollywood glam. Watch our video below:
Hollywood Hair in 10 Minutes
1. Shine: For the girl on-the-go searching for a star look, Gibson recommends she starts by applying his Hair Sheet throughout the entire dry head. "It has UV protection which is essential for women during the summer," says Gibson. "It helps to fight frizz and it smells good; it has lavender oil. If you're a girl that doesn't shampoo every single day, it's perfect because it acts as a refresher too."
2. Preparation: After applying the Hair Sheet, move on to the blow dry. It's important to part your hair into different sections (1.5 inch and about about two inches wide).
3. Brushes and Nozzle: Gibson recommends the Y.S. Park Brush which has a combination of boar and nylon bristles. He says you should always use your nozzle when blow drying because it gives direct heat to your hair which results in smooth locks.
4. Technique: As you're blow drying, take your hair up as high as possible, making sure to get all the ends in, and then rotate all the way down and twist. Repeat throughout all sections and watch as it starts the wave factor in your blow dry.
5. Making it Hollywood: Add waves and natural looking curls by taking your sections and using a large barrell curling iron.
6. The Big Finish: Hold hair in place by adding a light spray such as Ted Gibson's Beautiful Hold Spray.
Watch as Ted gives us a demonstration:
I seem to wear my hair like this when it's not in any shape to be worn down:
