My wife and I have been together for 4 years, married for 8 months. Late last night we were lying in bed post-sex, her head on my shoulder. We were talking about kids. Names and such. A few minutes go by of no talking. Then she says, "with all of the problems, you've had with your height... Maybe we should think about getting a sperm donor." I was completely shocked. After a few seconds of silence she says "sweety?" and looks up at me. I close my eyes instantly and present to be asleep.
How could she ask me that? I can't even begin to explain how much it hurts to know she doesn't think I'm good enough to father her children. I lay awake all last night unable to sleep. In the past I've told her about my insecurities - the way some girls have treated me because of my height, as you do when you trust someone. It's not fair and it sucks to be judged on something you can't change, but I'm still successful and looked up to by people (figuratively, not physically of course ).
I've never once suggested sperm donation, she thought it up all on her own. I honestly don't know what to say to her about this. There is virtually nothing that she could have said that would have hurt me more, surely she knows that. I have a tendency of biting my tongue, sucking it up and saying nothing, but I feel like I have to say something. I am honestly considering walking out on her. In what universe is it okay to ask a man something like that? I need some kind of advice. Is this an okay question to ask? Am I overreacting?
tl;dr: I was lying in bed with my wife when she asked if we should get a sperm donor. I have no how to approach this situation, or what to do.
EDIT: I thought I'd give a little more info for those that are interested. I've only discussed my height with my wife on two occasions. They were both those mutual "I love you so much and I want to know everything about you moments." We talked about the people we dated, our past relationships, rejections and insecurities. Yes, it was a pussy move to pretend I was asleep, but I had literally no idea how to respond, so it was the easiest way to get some time to think. There are some huge leaps happening, so I'll just say that I've never been bullied because of my height. The only time I've ever been insecure about my height is in the dating realm. Even then, it was only for the brief period after summoning the courage to ask a girl out and being told "sorry I don't date short guys." Oh, and I'm 5'4

Gold and Cobalt Ring with Arizona Desert Ironwood Burl Wooden Ring
Gold and Cobalt Ring with Arizona Desert Ironwood Burl Wooden Ring
Current ship date for this Gold and Cobalt Ring with Arizona Desert Ironwood Burl Wooden Ring is 5-6 weeks.
The outer portion of this ring is made of Cobalt - the most scratch resistant and shatterproof material I offer. Like titanium it is hypoallergenic and biocompatible. However, in many circumstances under which your Titanium ring might scratch, Cobalt will not. It is an alloy that is identical to Platinum in color, but it is an order of magnitude stronger. Cobalt offers nearly the scratch resistance of Tungsten Carbide, but unlike Tungsten, Cobalt will not shatter if dropped.
Additionally, there is a solid 3mm, 14k yellow gold inlay.
This is a grade of Arizona Desert Ironwood burl that I have reserved for this listing only. This piece leans toward the, brown, black and orange hues of the range of colors in AZ Desert Ironwood. It has the depth and chatoyancy of a cat's eye gem. It is, of course, amazingly strong and heavy. I heard it is one of the hardest and densest woods in the world. Accustomed to working with Ebony, and Lignum Vitae, I expected to be unimpressed. Only upon getting some cutoffs and putting drill to it did I realize just how worthy of the name "ironwood" this material is. It is nearly 20% more dense than Gabon Ebony (1.2 specific gravity as opposed to 1.03- it will sink in water). It is one of the rarest (it grows only in the Sonoran Desert) and oldest species of wood that still lives
Satin finish
Flat profile
6mm width regardless of size
These details cannot be altered.
This is the first Cobalt ring with a wood interior ever offered.
I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you already know your size. "Do it yourself" ring sizing methods (string, etc.) should absolutely not be trusted. Be sure to be measured using the width you plan to order.
Cobalt lined wood rings can be adjusted up or down about 1/4 size (by removing or adding finish to the interior). Every ring is made to the exact size provided. An error in sizing that exceeds the margin provided above will necessitate a completely new ring. REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE. BE 100% SURE OF YOUR ACCURATE AND CORRECT SIZE BEFORE ORDERING.
Please click on the "Policies" link (under Shop Info) to see wood ring care instructions and FAQ.
Each ring is given multiple coats of a hybrid epoxy finish, which is completely water-proof and soap proof. This protective coating is sanded up to 12,000 grit for an unbelievable, glass-like finish.
All rings ship via USPS Priority (or Priority International) Small Flat Rate Box. If you are outside the US and Canada, your only shipping option is Global Express. Please read below for details. Insurance is mandatory for this ring, and included in the shipping charge. You pay what I pay for shipping, nothing more.
For customers outside the US:
Due to changes in USPS policy, international packages sent to countries other than Canada can no longer be tracked past the US border. Insurance claims are also not possible. Due to this change and for your protection, international customers outside of Canada will be required to pay for USPS Global Express shipping ($44.95), which in addition to guaranteeing arrival within 3-5 business days (excepting intervention from your country's customs department), also can be tracked and insured. I wish I could offer a more economical solution, but cheaper options are too risky.
International customers are responsible for all fees associated with shipping to their respective countries. Orders that are shipped to countries outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; I have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond the original delivery estimates. It is against the law and I will not mark an item as a "gift" to avoid any fees.

Stop and Roll: Lunch & late-night eats
There's something very urban about walking into a closet-sized, exposed brick, eatery attached to a downtown watering hole to order sushi. Stop and Roll, an up and coming lunch and late-night grub hub, has been rolling up good eats since opening in July of 2016. After a brief visit to try the lauded shoyu ramen, eighten21.com's Ericka Hatcher reached out to learn more about the man behind Stop and Roll, 30-year-old Erik Larson.
The married husband and father of one has been cooking for 13 years and, after learning all that he could from previous employers, decided to go into the restaurant business for himself. Stop and Roll, his first business venture, combines his love of cooking with his passion for sushi in a fun, upbeat, and casual setting.
As long-time friends of Floyd's Thirst Parlor owners, Erik settled on the downtown Springfield location as it offered him a central location and opportunity to work in close proximity with his colleagues. While the locale boasted these perks, it also provided the opportunity for creative problem solving, as it has no kitchen and very limited seating. Driven and willing to make it work, Erik developed the Stop and Roll concept and set operating times that not only covered peak business hours but also allowed him to prep ingredients at his catering location. In all, it took Erik five weeks to get Stop and Roll up and running.
Taking the skills he honed while working with Chris Hudson at Pao Pacific Coast Cuisine and other restaurants including Augie's Front Burner, Prime 1000, Mosaic Modern Fusion, and Coastal Oyster Bar - Erik enjoys updating old classics, as well as whipping up his own takes on standards while adding an Asian inspired zest. This is evident with late-night options that include kimchi or wasabi dogs and rolls whimsically named M-80 and Kickflip. Stop and Roll is all about good food, fresh ideas, and great memories.
"I love feeding people! Both new customers and return customers alike. I love pushing the limits and giving Springfield a fresh perspective of things they may have already tried or thing they are familiar with. I plan on continuing to strive to keep stop and roll fun and inventive," said Erik.
Stop and Roll offers an assortment of sashimi, nigiri, rolls, and bowl options that will satisfy just about any pallet. Stop in to try some of the local favorites like the dynamite roll with cooked shrimp, scallion, cucumber on the inside and topped with crunchy tempura and dynamite sauce, or try the ecstasy roll, which has both tuna and salmon on the inside, scallions and topped with a smattering of sauces. Don't forget to check the Stop and Roll Facebook page regularly for updates that include the Late Night Menu and seasonal or temporary offerings, which we hope will include more delicious ramen variations!

Blue Sky specializes in repairing, retrofitting and installing boilers and hot water heating systems for residences, apartment buildings, condominiums and light commercial properties in the Denver Metro area. We often find that the equipment in these systems could have lasted years longer if the owners had chosen to perform services, cleaning and testing by a trained professional on regular intervals.
If you feel that your boiler system may have gotten behind on maintenance, then you've come to the right service company. Blue Sky Plumbing and Heating is focused on the safety, dependability and efficiency of boiler and hot water heat systems. Boiler maintenance and efficiency testing is not only important for longevity, but is an absolute necessity to ensure your safety.
We know that carbon monoxide leaks or an improper installation of chimneys and vent piping can create a serious safety hazard. We will test for that and other concerns while we identify improvements to your circulation and piping to spread the warmth more evenly throughout your radiators to increase your system's efficiency. We can also perform a combustion analysis, which identifies tuning improvements which can lead to a cleaner burning appliance that saves you money.
If you haven't had a boiler inspection in the last year, call us for a complete boiler tune-up, cleaning and adjustment. If you notice noisy pipes, poor heating performance, some radiators are not giving off heat, there is water leakage around the boiler or you notice that the expansion tank or pressure relief valve is leaking water, it's time to look into boiler repair. It's important to correct these issues early on before they lead to larger, more costly repairs.
If you have an older boiler that is costing you a great deal on your utility bill, we can review it to see whether efficiency adjustments may help, or if you should consider upgrading at some point to one of the new higher efficiency boilers. In some cases, the efficiency gained from upgrading from an older gas guzzler boiler to a new boiler could be as much as 40%! Now that's some utility cost savings you can bank on!
But rest assured that should your boiler merely need a thorough tune-up and efficiency adjustment or minor repairs, that's all we will suggest.
In Denver, boiler repair and professional installation is just a phone call away: (303) 421-2161.
Schedule your appointment today for your free boiler or hot water heat system consultation. Whether you're looking to make improvements now or down the road - you will have a clear plan for success for your comfort system.
We service Applewood, Cherry Hills, Arvada, Golden, Evergreen and the entire Metro Denver area. You can view our entire list of service areas here.

Course Description:
This course prepares students to properly inspect, assemble, and operate Air-Purifying Respirators (APRs) and Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs). Along with operating standards, students will learn which conditions these respirators are suitable in, and where they are not. In addition to the respiratory system component is the Level-C chemical protective garment overview. Students will be shown proper inspection techniques, donning, operating procedures while in the suit, and doffing.
This course is in accordance with OSHA 24 CFR 1910.120 – Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. This awareness level training is designed for all personnel who may encounter a hazardous situation, but may not necessarily be called upon to respond to the event. Recognition and initial actions are stressed.
NOTE: This training does not certify the participant as a hazardous materials technician. Additional job-specific training should be provided to those participants who will be expected to take defensive measures in an actual hazardous materials event.
Learning Objectives:
By the conclusion of this course, the learner will be able to:
- Complete the pre-assessment and identify the purpose of the course.
- Identify the critical components of the Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR).
- Inspect and assemble the PAPR and ensure it is operating properly.
- Properly don a Level-C chemical protective ensemble.
- Respond to audio and visual commands while fully dressed in a Level-C chemical protective ensemble.
- Properly doff a Level-C chemical protective ensemble.
- Complete the post-assessment and summarize the course key messages.
Module I: All Hazard Awareness for Healthcare Personnel, in the classroom or via webinar or equivalent is strongly recommended.
NOTE: NIOSH regulations state that prior to using any respirator, employees must undergo a medical evaluation to screen for fitness to wear the device.
Target Audience:
Fire service, law enforcement, emergency management, emergency medical services, hazardous materials, public health, health care, and private security

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical Committee, Chairman Ahmed Fresh Yusuf, has redeemed his pledge of one million naira to the Golden Eaglets team after they qualified for the final of the AFCON Under-seventeen qualifying tournament in Niamey, Niger Republic.
The Nigeria under-seventeen led by Manu Garba defeated Niger two-one in their semi-final clash at the Seyni Koutnche Stadium, Niamey on Wednesday, to rekindle a sixty-seven–year rivalry with a Ghanaian team, this time the Black Starlets, for Saturday's final. The winner will qualify for the 2019 Under-seventeen Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Yusuf who is contesting for a place on the executive board of the NFF from the Nort Central Zone, also promised the team two million naira should they beat Ghana in Saturday's final.

So here you go, with our travel essentials, all coming prepacked with super nice add ons – like small bags to store all that good stuff, a pro nail file, small editons of big brothers, super black eyliner or the best must have lip moist <3.
Oribe and Smith & Cult – the both brands and their products are contributing to my light and easy travels to my favorite destinations for fashion.
Hello – here I come with the best ever travel editions!

General factors
When deciding which university to attend, there are a few general things you may want to consider before researching more specific factors. These might include:
- Whether you want to attend your local university or move way from home. If you choose to leave home, how far away do you want to be?
- Does the university have all the facilities you require, such as a gym, outdoor sports grounds, car parking, etc?
- What are the university's resources like? Do they have a good library with plenty of online journals, and copies of the necessary specialised textbooks?
- How big is the university itself, and how many students attend? Would you prefer to go to a larger or smaller institution?
- Where is the university located? Do you want to go to a university in a big city or somewhere quieter? Remember that the cost of living will be higher in large cities, which may affect your budget significantly.

Research Assessment Exercise results
Unlike undergraduate courses, there are no league tables that allow you to compare postgraduate courses.
However, you may find the 2014 Research Excellence Framework results for universities in the UK useful in seeing which institutions are ranked highest for research excellence, as research quality plays a more significant role at postgraduate level than undergraduate degree level.
Student support and services
Check whether the university offers all the necessary support to postgraduate students to maintain their well-being – this includes careers advice, a personal tutor system, counselling, a safety bus, and a union society.
Some universities have dedicated resources, societies, etc. for postgraduates, so take a look at what each institution has to offer.
Be wary of universities that are dominated by undergraduates, as this may mean the university places less emphasis on the well-being of their postgraduate population, so research carefully exactly what amount of support you can expect to receive.
Social activities
The social side of university is a very important part of student life, so it's important to make sure the range of social, sports and cultural activities and clubs offered by the university match your requirements.
Taking a Masters isn't all about studying – you need to balance your life as a student with some fun! It may take you a little while to find the right balance between working and socialising, but you will find your feet eventually.
Making a final decision
Having already decided the course you want to do will make narrowing down a university to attend easier.
If you are still uncertain what course you will be taking, it is worthwhile checking out the teaching quality, facilities and social aspects of universities and compare them to try and pinpoint some specific areas where you would be interested in attending university.
You can also visit the universities you are thinking of applying to by going to one of their Open Days.
These will be advertised on their website, and will allow you to get the feel of a place by going on a tour with one of the attending students, as well as offering you the opportunity to ask questions about the social environment, facilities, and any other aspects you wish to know more details on.
Don't forget to contact the university for a postgraduate prospectus, or grab a copy on the open day, as this will have information on all the courses available and the institution in general.
Looking at the factors above, it's important to realise that you should consider many things when deciding on your university – there's no point making a decision based on one or two characteristics, as you are likely to find it doesn't meet all your needs.
Each university is unique, although won't appeal to every prospective postgraduate student – it may take a bit of research, but hopefully you will find a university that attracts you more than others, and you will know this is the right one for you.

This genius hack for creating the perfect winged eyeliner is setting the Internet on fire
Thanks to beauty icons like Alexa Chung and Ariana Grande, attempting to nail the perfect winged eyeliner is something we've all tried our hand at once or twice – or let's be honest, a million times before.
And if that hand is shaky, you'll know only too well the struggle of getting that flick nice and crisp.
But holy moly makeup, there is now a way and we can't believe it's taken us so long to get on board.
Reddit user MDL1994 recently shared her clever flawless flick hack online and the thread has sent the Internet wild.
Her post read: "I usually get a lot of compliments on my winged eyeliner so I wanted to share my best eyeliner hack with you! I do my eye makeup before my foundation, I make a messy wing, then I grab a makeup wipe, fold it and wipe the eyeliner into a sharp edge. Quick, easy and foolproof"
Want one even better? If you can get your hands on some pointy cotton buds, you can dip the end in micellar water or makeup remover and swipe it along your eyeliner wing for an even sharper edge.
We will miss the excuse of being late to work due to eyeliner issues, but for now, today is a good day.
Want more winged eyeliner inspiration? Here are some of our favourite celebs rocking a feline flick...

- Primary Cause
- Youth Development
- Secondary Cause
- Education
Nawayee is an Ojibwe word that means "the center" and for over 40 years Center School has been a fixture in the Phillips neighborhood, the heart of the Minneapolis Native American community, by providing educational resources for students struggling in a traditional academic environment.
At Nawayee Center School we provide high quality, culturally specific education to urban youth in grades 7-12. Smaller class sizes and innovative curricula allow us to better serve the needs of our students. We provide a strong network of passionate and hard-working educational innovators that create a well rounded, targeted learning environment and strong support system to give the greatest chance of academic success and a brighter future for our students.
Our academic programs integrate indigenous wisdom and hands on learning experiences tailored to help at-risk students struggling with depression, homelessness, early pregnancy and substance abuse by providing a variety of enrichment opportunities that keep kids hopeful and engaged.
Indigenous language and life-ways education that includes rice harvesting, sweat lodges, drum making, and Native crafts to help develop and strengthen cultural pride are a highlight of Nawayee Center School.
Many students choose Center School because they value the close relationships with teachers, the emphasis on indigenous education and the many field trips and enrichment opportunities.
As has long been the case, many Native American communities are economically depressed, and their jobless rates are high. Only when Native Americans have a high and steady employment rate and education will their poverty rate decline and their wealth begin to grow.
"Our students really need to feel connected within our school," said Tara Graves, an American Indian Education director in Cloquet, MN. "They need to feel a part of it. A way of doing that is to make sure that they're seeing themselves in that curriculum."
Teachers at Nawayee Center School have done that by introducing Native American literature to students and by pairing our young female students with Native women mentors from the community.
NAWAYEE Center School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We appreciate the contributions from foundations and generous donations from the community.
We also welcome volunteers to help with the school garden, field trip chaperons, after school tutors, arts learning instructors and health and wellness coaching.
Suggested Donations
Funding Needs
With your support Nawayee Center School can continue our innovative experiential learning programs, including:
A Healthy Choices program that provides nutritious meals, health education, an on-site community garden, exercise opportunities, and health screenings to combat the diabetic epidemic in the Native American community early on.
The Children of the Seventh Fire, which is an Ojibwe prophecy that urges us to wake up and reclaim our children, that offers support and gender specific programs focused on family dynamics, parenting, positive sexual health, gender roles, leadership development, mentoring, internships and employment readiness.
Adventure learning through a wide range of outdoor hands-on activities that include: science lessons, visits to historically significant Native American sites, and challenging physical education opportunities like rock climbing, bicycling, canoe trips, hiking, and urban youth expeditions through Outward Bound.

I enjoyed so many words on Sunday! Saskatoon hosted a Word on the Street Festival for the third year running. My fella and I attended all afternoon – so pretty much the whole thing. From noon to two we enjoyed spoken word poetry by our local youth team and a great writing workshop hosted by the Mighty Mike McGee. Mike is an amazing spoken word poet from California who travels the continent making people happy because he is one of the sweetest humans on the planet – you should check out some of his stuff on YouTube.
At two I went to a talk by one of my favourite authors, Anthony Bidulka. His talk was in the 'Odyssey' tent and he chatted about his decade-long odyssey of writing Russell Quant novels and his next odyssey writing Adam Saint novels. Bidulka is from Saskatoon, he writes about Saskatoon and he lives in Saskatoon. Proof that you don't have to move away from this sleepy, prairie town to 'make it' as an author. His books are also proof that Saskatoon is a perfectly acceptable setting for mystery and suspense novels. I like to think I acted like perfectly normal person when I chatted with him as he signed my copy of his new book. I chuffed as hell that he recognized me and thanked me for tweeting about his talk at Word on the Street. I, of course, told him a bit about the novel I've started. So, this poop just got real – as the youngsters say! I told one of my favourite authors about a book I'm working on so I darned well better get on it! (Which I have, really!)
After some more poetry on the street from Saskatoon's adult slam poetry team, my fella and I went to see Robert J. Sawyer speak. I first heard of Robert J. Sawyer when he was the writer-in-residence at the Canadian Light Source in 2009. I started working at the University of Saskatchewan that year and the Canadian Light Source, also known as the synchrotron, is a giant science thing on campus. My fella is a big fan of Mr. Sawyer and we've had the luck of seeing him twice this year. Mr. Sawyer's talk was about writing thematically, specifically in science fiction, but his suggestions could certainly relate to nearly any, possibly every, genre. Essentially, he has observed that the key to publishing a very popular novel is to explore a timely and controversial issue. Not only to explore that issue, but to write the 'hard' novel exploring the issue. The 'hard' novel is that one in which the message is, for example, 'capital punishment is wrong', but our protagonist is in favour of it. Through the development of the story and our protagonist the reader come to the conclusion the author intended. 'So,' my fella asked me, 'what controversial issue will you tackle in this novel you're writing?' Well, I just don't know, do I? The overarching story I want to tell with any work of history, fictionalized or not, is that the past is not such a different place from the present, humans being humans after all. Of course, there must be an issue to tackle that would be well suited to being set in the past. Science and speculative fiction can explore controversial issues because setting a story in an imagined future or on a different planet makes it easier for readers to distance themselves from and think critically about the topic. I am certain there are issues that, when filtered through the lens of the past, can be seen more clearly. I'm sure I'll find something timely that catches my eye while swimming through the archives and microfilm! I'm very eager to get into them, too.
Be Lovely to Each Other,

#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
Turtles Laying Eggs in Yards
Turtles that are looking to lay eggs frequently wander into yards, especially those near ponds, lakes, and rivers. These animals should not be disturbed, but can be observed from a distance.
Annual June Ritual Arrives: First snapping turtle mother from the river wanders into our meadow this morning to lay her eggs. If a raccoon or skunk or fox doesn't dig them up tonight after dark, they'll hatch in September and find their way to the Charles.

Creswell Beach Golf Statistieken, Zomer: Alle Golven – Alle Wind
This picture describes the combination of swells directed at Creswell Beach over a normal northern hemisphere summer. It is based on 8736 NWW3 model predictions since 2006 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast surf and wind right at the coastline so we have chosen the best grid node based on what we know about Creswell Beach. In this particular case the best grid node is 29 km away (18 miles).
The rose diagram describes the distribution of swell directions and swell sizes, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing without direction information. Five colours represent increasing wave sizes. Very small swells of less than 0.5m (1.5 feet) high are shown in blue. These were forecast 52% of the time. Green and yellow illustrate increasing swell sizes and highest swells greater than >3m (>10ft) are shown in red. In either graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how frequently that size swell occurs.
The diagram suggests that the prevailing swell direction, shown by the largest spokes, was NE, whereas the the dominant wind blows from the SW. Because the wave model grid is out to sea, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Creswell Beach and offshore. We combine these with the no surf category of the bar chart. To simplify things we don't show these in the rose plot. Because wind determines whether or not waves are clean enough to surf at Creswell Beach, you can view an alternative image that shows only the swells that were predicted to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. During a typical northern hemisphere summer, swells large enough to cause surfable waves at Creswell Beach run for about 11% of the time.
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

Sample text
By the end of the prehistoric period, the Indians were cultivating a wide variety of crops. The most important of these, squashes, beans, and corn, had all come from central Mexico. , but in time came to constitute an important part of the Indian diet. Their usefulness depended on the possession of pottery vessels in which they could be cooked. 8 / Agriculture Without a doubt, the most important Indian crop was maize, a cultivated version of the wild plant teosinte, a native of the central Mexican highlands.
The Lakota Sioux called alcohol "the magic water," for example, and some scholars have noted a link between drinking liquor until drunk and the traditional Indian practice of going on a vision quest seeking wisdom and strength through fasting, meditation, and prayer until a state of altered consciousness is achieved. Alco- 16 / Alcoholism hol intoxication may also have been considered akin to being influenced or possessed by a supernatural being. Many tribal political and religious leaders soon recognized the danger that alcohol posed to traditional culture.
Average. In 1986, recognizing the severity of the problem, Congress enacted the Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. Those who have studied Indian drinking generally believe that alcohol abuse among Native Americans results from the same factors that lead to high levels of alcoholism among other populations: It is a means of coping with unemployment, poverty, and alienation. The economic situation of American Indians, particularly those on isolated reservations, is grim compared with that of most Americans.

Exceptional service
Here's My Card came highly recommended by a friend and provided exceptional service with regard to our family trip to South Africa. We were travelling with our son and daughter (aged 19 and 21) and Kerry and Clare thought of everything and managed to formulate an itinerary that suited us all. Everything organised down to the finest detail and nothing was too much trouble.
The booklet provided with our blow by blow itinerary drew gasps of amazement wherever we went! We enjoyed a wonderful stay in the Winelands, followed by a busy and action-packed stay in Cape Town. We explored Table Mountain, visited Robben Island and also managed to fit in some whale watching. However, the final leg of our journey was a safari at Tarkuni Lodge at Tswalu. We were completely blown away by the number and variety of animals that we saw at very close quarters and our guides went above and beyond the call of duty to provide us with a really magical experience.
I can't recommend Kerry and Clare highly enough for their hard work and staying in constant touch to ensure that everything went according to plan. We can't wait until we can return to South Africa again. We have already had a number of friends express and interest in enjoying a similar experience, so will be passing your details on to them soonest.

This makes me wish I had a school program like this when I was in grade six.
The students at Goodwillie Environmental School in West Michigan launched last week an authentic 24 foot birch bark voyageur canoe that they have been working on for the past 2 years as part of a massive school project involving 50 students.
Last week they paddled it down the Grand River for the very first time.
Sixth-grader Lauren Kanai observed the historic moment.
"A voyageur birch bark canoe hasn't been rode down the river in 180 years. That's pretty cool," she said.
"It started out with a roll of birch bark and an idea," said student Lydia Hughes. "And it was really cool to sail it today."
Last year, students built the canoe using age-old techniques. This year they carved oars and studied the river extensively in partnership with "Think Grand" a project through the nonprofit organization Great Lakes Lifeways Institute, www.lifewaysinstitute.org, and funded by grants.

Is Lady Gaga aka stefani germanotta's shadowy past coming back to ...
3 comments:
As soon as Lady Gaga's new video dropped, people either loved it or hated it.
Alejandro's director, Stephen Klein, gives the deets on the concept and inspiration for the piece.
He said:
"She likes epics. It fits her personality. We combined dance, narrative and attributes of surrealism. The process was to express Lady Gaga's desire to reveal her heart and bear her soul.
On a music video there is never enough time. We had planned so much and achieved much of that, but of course some of it we were not able due to time constraints.
The politics came out of the story, but was not the official intention."
Wowsa! We wonder what else they would have done if they had the time.
We LOVE the finish product!

Attacking the root causes of herpes virus, Melanie's effective natural remedies have already played a positive role in treating the disease within weeks. Since Melanie has been a former herpes patient herself, her research is extensively proven to benefit her in every way. She does have any symptom after following each remedy at the right time. She wants other sufferers to benefit from her research now as the disease does not let the victims happily and she knows how. The book firstly explains the different types of herpes virus that are common with people. The symptoms associated with the disease are explained in detail so that the victims can relate their symptoms with the ones mentioned in the eBook.
Indianapolis, IN -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/15/2014 -- Ultimate Herpes Protocol is the latest treatment method developed by Melanie Addington that claims to help patients treat herpes naturally. This new program includes step-by-step guides, which are easy for people to use. When people get this program, they will receive lots of useful methods that can help them wipe out their herpes from their body safely. The program does not relate to use drugs or pills that can include side effects. After the author released Herpes Protocol, he received a lot of good ideas from customers regarding their success with the helpful program.
A full Herpes Protocol review shows that this is a natural and safe herpes treatment method that helps people remove their problem rapidly. In this guide, users will discover several viruses that cause shingles and herpes. In addition, people will learn about how to improve their immune system to avoid herpes effectively. Users will find out some ways that guide them on how to nourish and restore their immune system safely. In particular, they will discover how to claw toxic poisons from their body. In general, Ultimate Herpes Protocol is an effective program that sufferers should use to banish their condition effectively.
People have a common notion that herpes is a disease specifically acquired through sexual contact. But that isn't entirely true. Simple direct skin contact may also cause herpes virus transmission. Some people also believe that the herpes virus may be passed on via inanimate objects like toilet seats, etc. Although the last idea may be highly unlikely due to the fragility of the virus itself. The herpes virus passes through tiny breaks in the skin or mucous membranes of the mouth and genital areas.
Healthy skin acts as really good protective barriers against this infection. In cases of mucous membranes, even the slightest scrape or scratch is enough to expose the nerve endings into which the herpes virus entwines itself. This is the main reason why herpes infections usually manifest in areas where mucous membranes and normal skin merges. A good example is the corner of your mouth. The virus has been said to be passed on by sharing razors with an infected person. Unlike toilet seats, the virus can survive in the moist areas between the blades. This disease may also be passed from mother to infant during birth, however, most cases show that infants acquire the said condition after birth.
Herpes may be categorized into oral and genital herpes. Oral herpes are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1). They are commonly referred to as cold sores or fever blisters. Fever blisters often appear as tiny, clear, fluid-filled blisters on the face. These usually appear on the lips. Genital herpes, on the other hand, is caused by HSV-2 and is characterized by painful, itchy sores in the genital area.

Quote from: döm on March 28, 2017, 23:44:56 pmCame across as being paranoid and hysterical. As the other guy said let OFCOM accuse the BBC of being biaised and then it will be worthy of debate.
Quote from: Slim on March 29, 2017, 00:34:39 amNo, he came across as rational, measured and genuinely concerned.We have at least another eight or nine years to fix this, and I believe we will.
Quote from: DavidL on March 29, 2017, 07:15:09 amThe Britain Bashing Corporation is really upping the ante this morning. Clegglet is on Breakfast in a minute, probably to spout his usual garbage about the huge benefits of being in the EU.
Quote from: döm on March 29, 2017, 07:07:51 amHe spoke calmly and so appeared rational but the content was paranoid hysteria.Why would the BBC appoint 2 pro brexit commentators in such high profile political shows with the 2 Andrews, Marr and Neil if the BBC really was institutionally pro EU?

Quote from: DavidL on March 29, 2017, 10:25:44 amA comment on this piece:"I work for the BBC and it is very biased - but the problem is with the types of people it employs. The BBC gives special preference to candidates who are under 35 and from ethnic minority backgrounds who are staunchly left wing and exasperatingly politically correct. Then there are the rich kids who are able to afford unpaid internships at the BBC in London for many months on end. They effectively buy themselves a job within the corporation. These kids are what most of us would call 'trustafarians' - very left wing, never had to work hard for anything and have a general disdain for anyone who didn't go to university or doesn't agree with their world view. The problem with the BBC is the people it chooses to employ and that is reflected in its output - which is incredibly slanted towards neoliberalism and staunch support of the status quo - whatever that may be" Says it all

Not a feast for the eyes: Award "Basler Sozialpreis für die Wirtschaft 2017 (Social Impact in Business)" goes to restaurant blindekuh Basel
The Cantonal administration awards "Basler Sozialpreis für die Wirtschaft 2017 (Social Impact in Business)" to the restaurant blindekuh Basel on May 3rd 2017.
The restaurant blindekuh ("blindekuh" is the German version of the game "Blind man's buff") is one of the largest private employers for people with visual impairment in Basel. Eight out of their thirty staff members at the restaurant in Basel are visually impaired. The establishment is unique in its effort to provide employment opportunities for blind people. The restaurant concept also wants to make the public aware about what it means to live with a visual impairment through a unique experience – eating in total darkness. Restaurant goers will be confronted with their own limitations, which blind people don't necessarily experience as a handicap for themselves. Even though the restaurant blindekuh has a social vision, it is a private business.

go do: sixteen moves out of yourself and into the world of action
Originally published on January 10th, 2012
New beginnings? The world is full of them. Just look at opportunities that today presents. It's really not that hard to embrace the possibilities that this day offers. Cultivating habits that move you forward and into the world around you are fundamental if you want to maximize your creative energy, create a new direction for yourself, and enjoy yourself in the process.
Get out of your own mind and off your butt. It is time to go do. Go do your dream, go do your work out routine, go do the things that will set you on a course that you want to be on, instead of the one you feel powerless to change.
Go do!
Wake up to a quick meditation. Prayer, a moment of silent observation, a chance to give thanks. Call it what you want. Even if things aren't going your way, be grateful that you get to wake up again and give it another shot. Because I promise you, time is the biggest gift you will ever be given, and each of us has only a finite amount of it.
Down a glass of hot water as soon you get up. I take mine with a squeeze of lemon. It gets your metabolism going, cleans out the organs, gets things moving.
Stretch. Get blood moving through your muscles. Work out the kinks. It's easier to be positive if you're as pain free as possible.
Open a window, stick your head outside and breathe in some very fresh oxygen, even if it's freezing cold outside. Let some of that fresh air into your bedroom (do this again before you go to sleep, getting fresh air into your bedroom before retiring) and the rest of your abode. Changing up the air is good for you.
Check your emails and respond only to what you must. Then get away from the surfing capability of your computer. It's passive entertainment, just like watching TV, and will only serve to make you isolate more from people around you and not hear them.
Forget TV for the most part. If there's something great you don't want to miss, make note of it and leave it off the rest of the time. It will kill your brain, and make you a slave.
Limit your on-line work time. If you work on line, make sure you break every 50 minutes and take ten minutes off. Step outside. Breathe fresh air.
Stay open to energy coming your way. Don't block new ideas or criticism or things that you can't seem to understand. Instead, let those things flow through you, to you Keep what works, let the rest go.
Look for connections. Timing is everything, it's truer than you think. But if we don't pay attention to the signs that are around us all the time, we can miss golden opportunities that present themselves to us. Look for things that hook into facts that you already know. Be aware of chains of events that might seem coincidental but are new possibilities, presenting themselves in costume.
Be observant. Notice what's going on around you, what people are saying to you. Don't discredit things out of hand. Be thoughtful with regard to your daily transactions. Don't create unnecessary hurdles. Seek out the easiest way to get things done. Listen to people who make sense. Be willing to learn.
Don't be a cynic. Don't be sarcastic. Sarcasm just sucks when it becomes a lifestyle choice. It makes you an energy suck. And don't talk about your friends or family or coworkers as if they each have a million teeny faults that drive you nuts. None of that makes you seem smarter or snappier or more interesting, believe me. I mean, do you want people droning on about how you never seem to have a nice word for anyone? No? Then cut the sarcasm.
Be nice, and mean it. It's a habit, just like being scared or being mean or being impatient. And it's a good habit. Get used to it. Nice people are fun to be around, and don't suck other people's energy.
Get off of the complaining bandwagon. There is nothing more addictive than bitching about things. Here's a word of advice: do with bitching what most of us did with smoking cigarettes. Just quit it. If there are problems you need to talk out with someone, you know who you can trust to listen. Go to that person. That's not the kind of complaining I'm talking about. I mean the kind of complaining that spins perfectly normal activities into daily pains in the butt. Leave it. Everyone has stuff. No one needs to hear yours.
LISTEN. Stop talking so much, and stop thinking you know everything. You will be shocked to find out what you still have to learn, and the best knowledge often comes from people you would least expect it from.
Smile. It's free and lets people know you're approachable - unless you prefer to be thought of as cut off from the world and unfriendly. Then by all means, don't smile.
Even creative work requires frequent breaks. As a potter and artist, I have to take care of my body because the work is very taxing on my neck and shoulders. Plus, walking away from creative work periodically, whether it be writing or artistic endeavors, gives you a much better perspective when you return and see what you've done.
Take a moment of silence before going to bed and give thanks again. It's not such a big deal. Just look at your day, the moments you've had, and be grateful. You are immensely lucky to have had the day today, even if things didn't go gangbusters You can learn from what went wrong, and take tomorrow on a wiser person.
Wake up, rinse and repeat.
Now go do, would you please?

I might as well admit it. I am addicted to Game of Thrones.
The books. Not the television series on HBO. That's really good too. But the books are taking me over.
I'm half way through the fourth book, A Feast For Crows, and have downloaded the fifth, A Dance With Dragons. I'm plowing through these novels faster than anything I've ever read.
Everywhere I go, people are talking about Game of Thrones. Getting a haircut the other day was like being on the HBO set: "Winter is coming." said a hair cutter. A client responded that she was seeing her "Sun and Stars" later for a drink.
Even the New York Times is getting into the act.
Verlyn Klinkenborg (of House Klinkenborg,) an editorial writer with the Times complains:
"Why do I keep reading? Because beneath Mr. Martin's descriptive pyromancy, these are novels about characters bending under the force of worldly and unworldly circumstances, and Mr. Martin's characters bend in interesting ways. I read to find out what happened to the heroine left behind a hundred pages ago. I read because if I don't read, I'll never get to the end, where real life resumes."
Ser Klinkenborg has obviously missed the point. Most of us don't want real life to resume. We want George R.R. Martin to write more books.

XXY Reviews: Chi-Raq by Spike Lee
XXY Reviews: Chi-Raq by Spike Lee
Spike Lee's latest film Chi-Raq is angry, raw and righteous. Based on Aristophanes' play Lysistrata, it tells the story of a group of women in Chicago who embark on a sex strike to halt gun violence in their community. Lee's modern twist on this classic is stylish and boisterous; the intensity of his message permeating like a beat you can't shake. But it is necessary. Lee's style might not be to everyone's taste, but you can't deny the film's potency. It is frank and vulnerable all at once; conveying an important lesson about the world we live in.
Chi-Raq's prologue radiates with Lee's spirit to devastating effect. Nick Cannon plays the title character, voicing the lyrics to the song 'Pray 4 My City'. Words like "This is an emergency" are stamped across the screen before you can settle into your seats. And that's exactly what Lee seems to angle for. You never sit comfortably in this film. One moment Samuel L. Jackson is addressing the audience as a colourfully-dressed Dolmedes. He smiles and jests. The next, Jennifer Hudson's character is bent double in the street; her daughter Patti has been shot dead.
This shift in energy sets Chi-Raq apart. We jump from a world where the characters speak in iambic pentameter, into one in which rappers shoot each other and women retort with, "No Peace, No Pussy". It is incredibly theatrical, defying genres and tearing down boundaries. But Lee is careful not to compromise the film's integrity. There is a method behind this haphazard madness. We are jolted into listening.
Teyonah Parris plays Lysistrata, the leader of this anti-violence female group. Her boyfriend is Chi-Raq; head of a gang that perpetrates these gun crimes. Parris's portrayal of her character is as fierce as it is sensitive, but it is Angela Bassett as the fervent neighbour, who steals the show. She inspires Lysistrata to take action against the gangs and her frustration is palpable throughout the film. She makes a welcome contrast to some characters who are more farcical.
Wesley Snipes plays Cyclops, leader of Chi-Raq's rival gang, the Trojans. He frequently chuckles to himself and makes exploitive remarks about the women and their celibacy rule. In one scene he watches a male friend mount the pole in a strip club. They are playfully trying to fill a void left by some female company. It doesn't feel playful, though. It feels vulgar and cheap, and scenes like these make for difficult viewing.
But sit patiently; Lee has a balancing act in place. Lysistrata and her movement get their stage. They tie up generals, they stage a lock-in, they shout from rooftops. These comments fuel their fire. "No Peace, No Piece", remember? And they firmly stick to it. It might seem contrived at points, but this is a modern spin on a classic, after all.
Lee uses style, sex and colour in one big bundle. At times it jars, at times it is thoroughly entertaining. Other times it simply is too preachy. Help to end gun violence; that is its message. But this is increasingly topical in today's society. If we can't be preachy now, when can we?

Friday 6 February 2015 – Media Release
Weightlifter Crowned Canary Wharf Sports Personality of the Year
Canary Wharf Group is delighted to announce that 18-year old Mercy Brown has been awarded this year's Canary Wharf Sports Personality of the Year for her impressive weight-lifting achievements.
