The Incredible work of Xiao Li, RCA fashion graduate 2013 and ITS 2013 Diesel award winner
I just laid eyes on Xiao Li's work while at Stylesight's trend seminar last week and got the instinctive feeling she is a big key into the future. Now it seems her name is popping up everywhere! Big congratulations to Xiao Li for winning the Diesel Award at the lastest competition of ITS 2013!!!
She is inspired by Architecture and the original Balenciaga, moulding knitwear with silicone and spacer fabric, I'm not very knowledged in these areas of materials but it sounds very new and the outlook is just so refreshing.. From both the concept point of view and the aesthetic of end product point of view, it's a win win for me. Absolutely stunning!
More via Dezeen's interview with her here

Michelle Lowe-Holder
I'm mesmerized by these photography of ex CSM MA graduate Michelle Lowe-Holder, there's something very complimentary to the draping jewelry against the blooming curves of a pregnant woman.
Interesting interview by her too here, via the 1Granaryblog.
I love reading this blog, it takes me back to the mindset of being a young student, reminds me of the true meaning of being a design and an artist… and that, it's possibly, never too late to fix a regret and chase after your dream.

Catherine Baba, forever a muse
When I attended a trend seminar recently, it citied Catherina Baba as the main inspiration for one of the dominant Gypsy/Bohemian/Ornamental mix and match aesthetic trending, for the FW 14/15 season.
I've always thought Catherina Baba as one of the chicest, my most admired dresser. She is just the absolute epitome of a chic goddess from the past who got left behind in the modern days, she is so Parisian, and when I see her clothing, I can feel the aura of the twenties; I can almost hear the sounds and smell the scent. Is that strange? She should definitely have been in the Great Gatsby.

Energy Cranes Acquires Marine & Mainland
Energy Cranes LLC, the Houston-based offshore crane manufacture, sales, service and rentals arm of Aberdeen-based Energy Cranes International Limited, has acquired the assets of Marine & Mainland Crane Services Inc., creating an enlarged business projecting 2008 revenues in the US market exceeding US$86 million. Energy Cranes International has worldwide revenues before taking account of this deal of US$200 million.
Energy Cranes is not disclosing precise deal valuation but notes that the multi-million dollar acquisition transaction is the largest in the group's history. It doubles Energy Cranes share of the US offshore crane service market.
"Energy Cranes has been demonstrating value and safety gains in crane service to operators and vessel owners since our formation in 2003, while Marine & Mainland, led by Alan Schaefer and Tim O'Neill, has been growing as a similarly strong player in this sector. Some consolidation in the marketplace is essential if contractors are to continue to leverage the safety and performance benefits to clients while developing the service network and skills base the market demands of us," says Energy Cranes chief executive officer, John Jordan.
The acquisition of Marine & Mainland adds 135 people to Energy Cranes' US workforce in a tight skills-sector; no redundancies are planned and additional recruitment is ongoing. Energy Cranes International now employs over 1,500 people worldwide.
The deal also extends Energy Cranes facilities and service network, as Marine and Mainland's facilities at Spencer Road, Houston Texas, Broussard and Slidell (both Louisiana) will all continue to provide client service. Energy Cranes LLC already has crane manufacturing, service or rentals centers in Houston TX, Houma LA, Abbeville LA and Mobile AL.
Alan Schaefer and Tim O'Neill, joint owners of Marine & Mainlined, both join the Energy Cranes US senior management team going forward.
"Both Energy Cranes and Marine & Mainland have been operating at full stretch to meet customer demands from our existing resources," says Alan Schaefer, formerly joint owner of Marine and Mainland and now Executive Vice President with Energy Cranes LLC. "By combining our strengths and our resources, we can generate efficiencies which will enable us to do more whilst at the same time providing a base from which to recruit and develop increased resources for this increasingly demanding market."
Drive for growth
The acquisition of M&M is one of a series of recent Energy Cranes International deals and announcements which have been driven by an ambitious strategic growth plan supported by major shareholder LMS Capital plc and bankers RBS Structured Finance, Aberdeen.
• In July, Energy Cranes announced a deal to acquire Aberdeen Hydraulics and merge the business with Energy Cranes' existing investment in the sector, the hydraulics division of Sparrows Offshore. The new company, Aberdeen Hydraulics Limited, immediately ranks as a leading North Sea hydraulic engineering provider with forty-plus engineers and technicians and two large well-equipped build/test/repair workshops.
• In August, Energy Cranes announced the acquisition of the intellectual property of the former Bucyrus Erie offshore crane manufacturing company, giving Energy Cranes Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, service and design authority status over 250 Bucyrus Erie cranes in addition to this same OEM status over in excess of 2,000 offshore cranes manufactured by other brands now in the Energy cranes stable – American Aero, Energy cranes, Houston Systems, Titan Industries and Weatherford Cranes.
• Also in August, Energy Cranes announced plans to establish a project management and delivery base in India to support a long-term contract with ONGC for the refurbishment of 22 cranes in their Mumbai High Asset.
In September 2006, Energy Cranes International Limited rationalized its banking arrangements under a single facility with RBS Structured Finance in Aberdeen with the intention of developing a lasting, supportive and flexible arrangement with one leading banker. The success of this relationship means the subsequent acquisitions of Aberdeen Hydraulics Services, Bucyrus Erie and Marine & Mainland, together with investments in plant and physical resources, have been able to be financed by building this facility with RBS against a background of Energy Cranes' continuing growth in both sales and profitability.
Euan Leask and Michael Willett led the recent transaction for RBS. Euan Leask, Head of Structured Finance at RBS in Aberdeen comments;
"Energy Cranes have built their business model through selective acquisitions and our funding support has been designed to provide the company with the resources to capitalize on opportunities within their marketplace such as the acquisition of Marine & Mainland. We enjoy a good relationship with Energy Cranes and look forward to working with them in the coming years."
Energy Cranes continues to see attractive prospects for development as a focused lifting and mechanical handling contractor.
"The energy industry will have to work harder, to work equipment harder, and yet also to work ever more safely and cost effectively if we are to meet the needs of an energy-hungry world," says Energy Cranes chief executive officer, John Jordan.
"Mechanical handling – not just cranes, but safer mechanized handling systems for drilling – will continue to be pivotal to delivery of the industry's objectives. Our goal is to secure Energy Cranes future as the outstanding provider of safe and efficient mechanical handling systems and services to this industry."

While much of the world eagerly awaits the debut of the production-spec 2018 Honda Civic Type R, Motor Trend has learnt that the sporty Civic Si will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 16.
Details about the latest Civic Si remain scarce at this stage. However, it is reported that the model with either use a tuned variant of Honda's 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or instead, a detuned version of the Type R's 2.0-liter turbo'd four.
Whatever the case may be, the model will slot perfectly between the current 173 hp, 1.5-liter Civic and the Type R, pumping out between 220 and 230 hp. As one would expect, power will be channelled to the front wheels and a six-speed manual 'box will be available alongside an automatic.
In terms of styling, the new Civic Si will be adorned with a few unique touches to distinguish it from other variants in the range. Key changes will include a modified front fascia and grille and a unique exhaust pipe design.

Articles July 2015 Issue
How Much Exercise Is Enough?
Two new studies seek the �sweet spot� for activity and intensity.
Nobody questions the health benefits of even just a little exercise, but you may wonder about what might be called the "Goldilocks" question: How much physical activity is "just right"? And is it possible to get too much or to overdo the intensity? Two large new studies, both published in JAMA Internal Medicine, attempt to answer such questions and identify the "sweet spot" of the ideal amount of exercise.
Miriam E. Nelson, PhD, associate dean of the Tisch College and a professor in Tufts' Friedman School, author of the "Strong Women" series of books, served as vice-chair of the committee for the US government's first-ever Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans in 2008. Those guidelines call for at least:
- 150 minutes per week of moderate activity OR
- 75 minutes per week of vigorous activity OR
- Some equivalent combination.
Says Nelson, "This amount is the base level to promote health; greater improvements in health will come with more activity."
MORE IS MOSTLY BETTER: The first new study compared adherence to these guidelines with data combined from six National Cancer Institute studies totaling 661,137 men and women, average age 62 years, who were followed for an average of 14.2 years. During that time, 116,686 participants died.
As expected, engaging in any leisure-time physical activity was better than being sedentary; in fact, the biggest relative benefits were associated with just getting moving. Those who reported some activity—but less than recommended levels—saw a 20% lower mortality risk than those with zero activity. Meeting the minimum guidelines, up to twice as much exercise (the equivalent of 300 minutes weekly of moderate activity), was associated with 31% less mortality.
Risk continued to drop with ever-increasing activity levels: 37% lower at two to three times the minimum guidelines and 39% lower at three to five times. But at that point—the equivalent of 450 to 750 minutes of moderate weekly activity—the association plateaued. There was no additional mortality benefit for even more exercise, but neither were there any negative associations.
Similar relationships were observed for mortality due to cardiovascular disease and to cancer.
Researchers concluded, "Health care professionals should encourage inactive adults to perform leisure time physical activity and do not need to discourage adults who already participate in high activity levels."
GETTING VIGOROUS: The accompanying study countered suggestions from other recent research that overdoing exercise, with frequent, strenuous workouts, might actually contribute to mortality risk. Australian scientists examined data on 204,542 adults, ages 45 through 76, who were followed for an average 6.5 years; 7,435 deaths were recorded.
Adding a little vigorous activity to a regimen of moderate exercise was linked to a lower risk of dying. Compared to those reporting only moderate exercise, those who spent up to 30% of their workout minutes exercising vigorously were at 9% lower mortality risk. Boosting the vigorous activity to more than 30% of workout time was associated with a 13% lower mortality risk. Nor was there any excess risk associated with even the greatest amounts of intense physical activity.
Researcher Klaus Gebel, PhD, of James Cook University, said the findings show that anyone who is physically capable should try to "reach at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week and have around 20 to 30 minutes of that be vigorous activity." If you're up for even more, there's no apparent downside.

USAID-LAVI/NRM Coalition Launches Info Gathering Report
By Mafanta Kromah
The National Resource Management (NRM) coalition supported by the United State Agency International Development (USAID)-Liberia Accountability Voice Initiative (LAVI) on Wednesday launched it's Information Gathering (IG) Report.
Launched at the iCampus on Carey Street in Monrovia, with the theme 'Building a Vibrant NRM and Concession Coalition', the report is geared toward increasing public awareness among citizens and policy-makers to lay the basis for advocacy for necessary changes in the management and administration of County Social Development Fund (CSDF).
The USAID-LAVI support of the NRM coalition is made of eight civil society organizations to improve the management, governance and the participation of the citizens in the administration of the CSDF.
The organizations are Platform for Development and Peace (P4DP), Liberia Media Center (LMC), Development Education Network-Liberia (DEN-L), National Youth Movement for Transparent Elections (NAYMOTE), Institution for Research and Democratic Development (IREDD), Sustainable Development Initiative (SDI), Rural Human Right Activist Program (RHRAP) and Citizens United to Promote Peace and Democracy in Liberia (CUPPADL).
According to LAVI, the objective of the IG exercise is to identify issues surrounding the monitoring and management of CSDF in Liberia and to draw out challenges and opportunities related to advocacy, transparency, accountability and enhanced participation of citizens in CSDF decision making.
The Information Gathering Report was presented by three persons including the Executive Director of P4DP, Jimmy Shilue-Lead Presenter, the Executive Director of NAYMOTE, Edddie Jarwolo-Co Presenter and the Executive Director of IREDD, Harold M. Aidoo-Co Presenter.
They said the coalition came about because CSOs working in NRM and Concession sector in Liberia have challenges in coordination, collaboration and even advocacy thus creating hurdles in their ability to effectively articulate citizens' voices in the reform processes as well as promote citizen's participation in the NRM sector.
LAVI-NRM Coalition said, based on this consideration, following desk reviews, NRM Coalition partners, supported by LAVI, decided to focus their intervention on the management and monitoring of the county social development fund (CSDF).
Accordingly, consensus was reached in September 2016 to embark on information gathering process, in order to thoroughly understand what's obtaining in the management and monitoring of the CSDF and design a tailored strategy to amplify the voices of the targeted beneficiaries.
"The majority 71% of respondents indicated they receive information through radio talk shows, few citizens received from local authorities or town hall discussions and out of 70% 69.9% of citizens feel very unsatisfied with how the funds are implemented when asked how they get news and information related to the use of CSDF in their communities, " the report indicated.
Meanwhile, the official launch of the report put a public spotlight on the ongoing activities of the civil society NRM and concession project at the national level and engagement with key policy makers identifying different policy options to ensure the appropriate management of the CSDF.

My dad was going on a mission trip and I wanted to help. I thought about giving him the $100 I got for Christmas, but my aunt had a better idea. She suggested that I make and sell toffee and don't tell him what I'm raising the money for. He was so surprised!!! Check out the article on County News Live to see his face. The title is "Hermann girl has raised more than $1,000 by making and selling toffee to help pay for her Dad's mission to Africa"

Welcome to A.P. Biology
Congratulations to our Graduating Seniors!!
Best of Luck in College!!
AP Biology 2013-2014
Have a wonderful Summer! Keep in touch!!Below are the instructions and schedule for the 2014 Review!
Welcome to the 2013 - 2014 AP Biology Wiki !
What is a wiki?
A wiki is a website that can be edited by anyone. In this case, you and I will be the authors of this wiki!
Last year I used the WIKI to post links to helpful videos and other resources.The WIKI was also used by students to collaborate on several lab reports. They also created a Wiki for the purpose of review for the AP exam. This year we will be using it for a number of purposes.
First, there will be a page for each unit on which assignments will be posted. This page will also contain links to resources you might find helpful. This year, since all of you have iPads, I will be including links to PDF files for all assignments. These can be opened in Notability and completed on-line. Also, remember YOU are the co-authors of this WIKI so if you find a link, video or reference that you think your classmates would benefit from, please share it on the appropriate unit page.
Second, you will be collaborating with your lab partners to produce some of your final lab reports. These will be posted on the WIKI. You will also complete some collaborative research projects using the WIKI.
Third, I am providing an RSS newfeed to allow you to keep informed regarding news in biology. Each week you should choose one of these articles, summarize it and discuss how you think it illustrates one of the four Big Ideas.
Big Idea 1: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life
Big idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.
Big idea 3: Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to information essential to life processes
Big idea 4: Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties.
Fourth, You will also be using it to create your own review for the exam.
Finally, Who knows where this WIKI will take us?? There are many different uses, so we will be open to new ideas as they arise. Feel free to make suggestions!
Exciting News in Biology
Here are some important links which will be useful to you throughout the year.http://wps.aw.com/wps/media/access/Pearson_Default/4929/5047666/login.html

The Red Sox offense packs plenty of punch when Adrian Gonzalez, Will Middlebrooks and Kevin Youkilis are all in the lineup, but that requires some unconventional managing from Bobby Valentine.
Gonzalez is a Gold Glove caliber first baseman who has little outfield experience, so the team obviously takes a hit defensively when he's put in right field like he has been recently. So far, it's worked for the most part considering the offensive output, but it might not exactly be the best long-term fix.
The NESN pregame crew disagreed a bit as to how the Red Sox should handle the lineup in the long run. Among the topics of discussion were whether Middlebrooks could potentially move to the outfield, or even see time at shortstop if Mike Aviles continues to go through some struggles.
Check out the debates in the video above.

OK I've gotten to know the boy that sits next to me in a class really well.. We have amazing chemistry and I know for sure he's attracted to me.. It's pretty obvious that he likes. However a)he is a senior and I'm a junior and b) we've chatted over facebook but never in text and c) he hasn't asked me 2 hangout yet and it's driving me crazy. Would it be okay for me to start dropping some serious hints that he should ask me out.. Or would I freak him out. Like if he brings up a movie sometime could I be like... We should go see one soon. I don't know what to do here.. & I'm sick of waiting/ I want to hang out with him outside of school asap! I really like him, we get along great, and he shows plenty of signs that he's interested.. I'm a very social butterfly kind of person & confident does that intimidate him? Can you think of any ways to hint that we should hang .. I'm too chicken to be straightforward
Guys would you be okay if a girl asked you to hang out/ dropped a lot of hints? I need major help!
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 0
Be the first guy to share an opinion
and earn 1 more Xper point!
What Girls Said 1
If you have any mutual friends with him you could bring it up as a suggestion with all his/your friends there. After 1 time of hanging out when its time to leave home you could tell him you had fun and you should do it again some time. If you don't have any mutual friends you should make some since your a social butterfly so it would work out fine. Another way is telling him at some point that you forgot your phone and you need to make a qucik text and then leave your phone number in it. Lastly you could do the movie idea you said up there ^^^ its innocent and you sound pretty chill about it so I think its fine if you say something like that.

SCIAMACHY is an atmospheric instrument provided to ESA's ENVISAT mission by DLR (Germany) and NIVR (The Netherlands, with support from Belgium). In this context, DLR and NIVR act as Announcement of Opportunity providers (AOP) for SCIAMACHY. ESA and DLR have agreed their share of responsibilities in the SCIAMACHY mission as part of the overall ENVISAT mission. Thus DLR has to provide operations support and algorithm development/data processing functions.
The operations support functions have been implemented by DLR via the SCIAMACHY Operations Support Team (SOST). SOST consists of two sub-teams: one at the Atmospheric Processors department IMF-AP of DLR-IMF and one at IUP-IFE (University of Bremen). Both teams cooperate closely and have defined their particular operations support areas.
SOST-DLR/IMF is responsible for
SOST-IFE takes care of
SOST is supported by the SCIAMACHY calibration subgroup and by SCIAVALIG.
The Web pages of SOST present both an overview of operations concept topics
(static information) and actual planning issues (dynamic information). They
serve the SCIAMACHY user community and ENVISAT/SCIAMACHY personnel as a tool
to follow the operational status of the instrument.
The SCIAMACHY Operations Support Team members are:

For the sixth consecutive year, the Clinton High School soccer program is set to host their annual Darkness Soccer Skills Camp. The camp is set for the week of June 13-17, and is for rising kindergarten through 8th grade boys and girls.
The sessions will be each day from 8:30-11:30 a.m. It is asked that each camper bring lots of water, cleats, shin guards, sun block, and an age-sized soccer ball.
Clinton coach Brad Spell knows the importance of honing skills at a young age, and admits that this is what this camp is all about.
"I want to ask everyone to come out and to please help support our soccer program by building our field of dreams," he said. " The Darkness camp gives our staff the opportunity to teach young players the benefits of the game through hard work and dedication."
Applicants who apply early get a free t-shirt. The camp is limited to the first 100 campers. Applications can be found online by visiting the Sampson County Soccer Website under camps.
The soccer program gave more information on the camp itself in a press release, which stated the following:
"This camp will focus on the complete soccer player. We will teach the fundamentals on dribbling, passing, shooting, defending, communicating, as well as team concepts. Campers will get a opportunity to take their game to the next level and find out the importance of what working through adversity means and get a chance to learn drills used at the high-school level. We will also stress the importance of being a good student and good citizen. Our campers will not only learn the fundamentals of the game of soccer, but will get to compete in individual and team competition.
The camp will be run by our coaching staff at Clinton High School. We may also enlist the services of our Varsity Soccer members. By using these team members, we feel that this will give our campers not only great instruction but great role models. This camp will be helping our team members raise money for the Soccer Programs at Clinton High School and the continued effort of building this CHS Soccer Facility."
It is asked that all questions are directed to Brad Spell at (910) 990-7347. Cash or checks are welcome, and it is asked that checks are payable to Clinton High School. Applicants should mail all applications and checks to Coach Brad Spell at 112 Wallace Ln., Clinton 28328.

Apple Updates IT Management Software
Apple Remote Desktop 2, which will ship next month, is the Cupertino, Calif., computer maker's suite of tools for desktop management, software distribution and help-desk support for IT administrators managing multiple Macs.
The newest release is specifically designed for the Mac OS X, while the earlier version launched in 2002 had supported mixed Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X environments, said Tom Goguen, Apple Computer Inc.'s director of server and storage software marketing.
As part of the OS X focus, the new version supports the operating system's Unix infrastructure and can run Unix remote shell scripts across one or multiple OS X systems, Goguen said. Such scripts could be used to manage such settings as energy-saving features or date and time preferences across desktops.
Click here to read a review of another of Apple's enterprise-oriented offerings, the Xserve G5.
Screen sharing also has gained a series of new capabilities in the release. Apple has boosted its performance so that there is little lag time between systems. Goguen said the company could not provide a specific measurement of the performance boost from the previous version of Apple Remote Desktop, but he called it "significant."
Apple Remote Desktop 2 also supports remote control of desktops through the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) mechanism, meaning that an IT administrator can observe and control not only Mac OS X desktops but Windows and Linux desktops that support VNC, Goguen said.
For insights on the Mac in the enterprise, check out eWEEK.com Executive Editor Matthew Rothenberg's Weblog.
Apple announced more than 50 new features in the latest release of the asset management software, including an offline reporting feature for adding mobile systems in hardware and software inventory reports even when they are not connected to the network.
Apple Remote Desktop 2 will be available for $299 for managing as many as 10 systems and for $499 for managing an unlimited number of systems. The software will run on Mac OS X v10.2.8 or later.

All human beings consist of three parts: body, spirit and soul. However, only one part is eternal and it is this part that will live for all eternity with God – our soul. During our lifetime we are presented with seemly endless opportunities to grow closer to God, opportunities that serve to more fully unite our soul with God and his Love. The opportunities are sometimes painful and may appear impossible – yet with God nothing is impossible.
So what are these opportunities and where can they be found? To begin, they are the struggles and joys we experience in our lives. They are found within the experiences in our lives that facilitate the emotions we hold towards other human beings. We find them in our struggles and our hardships with one another. We also find them in the joy and love we share with others. You see, the goal is to experience the internal joy and love that God has for each and every one of us – the internal joy that Jesus came to give us. When love and joy are experienced our soul moves closer to God – like the souls of the great Saints. Remember, we are all called to be great Saints my friends.
"I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete." – John 15:11 (NRSVCE)
Finding Joy
However, before we can experience the divine joy of Jesus we must overcome the struggles within our relationships with other human beings. Struggles that separate our hearts from love and from the One who is Love itself – God. These struggles can fill our hearts with anger, resentment, self-loathing, self-hate, judgement, fear, heartache, and pain if we allow them to. The world will promise to present us with a plethora of relationships to experience such emotions – emotions not congruent with love and joy. Each time we experience such an emotion our soul is presented with an opportunity to more fully know God and his love. Yet, will our human nature chose love?
In the end it is up to us to choose love and this is accomplished when we invite forgiveness and acceptance in our hearts. With each step taken towards love our soul receives a beautiful imprint that it will carry for all eternity. The journey will be hard at times because there is much sin and evil in the world. However, we must always remember that the ruler of this world is powerless in the presence of the One who dwells within the hearts of God's children. It is up to us to embark on the healing journey God offers so that we can arrive at the space of God's truth. The space where everyone is included and everyone is loved. Remember, God is a God of inclusion.
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me;" – John 14:30 (NRSVCE)
Endurance is Found in God
In our first reading today Paul spoke of these struggles – those who "endured a great contest of suffering." He also told us that we will "need endurance to do the will of God and receive what he has promised." You see, life will present challenge after challenge. We will experience adversity and trials. Yet, we must resist the temptation of victimhood, exclusion and hate because they do not serve our soul. Rather, remember, it is the victor who enjoys the spoils! And the spoils God offers those who battle through this world are the spoils of joy and love. Love and joy enrich our soul and move it deeper into God's Kingdom.
Mustard Tree
God, the unmovable mover, is the one who carries us and provides the road-map towards eternal love. He also holds the entire space, the entire world, together. The joyful and the painful emotions we all experience are found within this space. And it is in this space, the body of Jesus Christ, that all mankind grows and heals together.
For 'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.' – Acts 17:28 (NRSVCE)
Like the mustard tree we start off very small at the moment of our conception. Only when we allow God to be our gardener, pruning and fertilizing us as he desires with his love (including tough love), will we become what he created us to be. He created each and every one of his children to unite their hearts with his. Once united, our soul reaches joy beyond all comprehension because it becomes more unified with love.
Breath of Christ
Sometimes we will become "stuck", not knowing how to escape from pain and heartache. Yes, it is not easy being human. I have created a little meditation that I invite you to use during the moments you feel stuck, unable to move into love and joy. Here is the link if you would like to learn more: Breath of Christ
I hope you find your way home towards the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ – the one who is love himself. May you speak and think words of love, forgiveness and mercy as you sing and praise of God's glory! – Carolyn
Sacred Heart of Jesus – have mercy on us.
Mother Mary – pray for us.
Saint Paul – pray for us

Maryland Truck and Tractor-Trailer Accidents
Without the trucks ferrying our food, clothing, cars, and medicine all over the country, the country would come to a stand still. Hence, these big vehicles must share the road with the rest of us. Just the idea of truck or a big rig heading your way out of control is scary enough. Sadly, these truck and tractor-trailers are involved in accidents with regular passenger cars on a daily basis, resulting in devastating consequences.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)'s regulates the trucking industry. Aimed at ensuring the safety of our roads, these regulations include issues such as:
- Driver qualifications – Typically drivers need a Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
- Work hour restrictions – To avoid dangerous fatigued driving or sleeping at the wheel, truck drivers cannot exceed certain driving hours.
- Truck maintenance – Regular upkeep of critical safety systems is required.
- Securing Cargo – You have seen the weight stations whose job is to make sure weight limits are followed. Drivers naturally need to make sure cargo is secured and is not going to all onto the roadway. .
Admittedly, regulations create an additional layer of work for the driver and trucking companies and may impact profits. Unfortunately, this facts means that as a result of human error, carelessness, or deliberate attempts to circumvent the rules, some trucks will not measure up to the regulations, which may result in devastating accidents. As result, after a truck accident, the analysis must include whether the truck driver or trucking company that hit you violated any the regulations.
Of course, the law of negligence still applies to truck accidents as well. They owe you, as a fellow driver, the duty to exercise reasonable care as not to cause you harm when sharing the road.
Truck Accidents by the Numbers
According to the NHTSA, truck accidents increased nearly 9% between 2011 to 2012. The raw numbers indicated that over 3,900 people killed and over 104,000 people injured in crashes involving trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds.

Gargling Salt water in the Morning Improves Health
March 9, 2015 by admin
Filed under Tips for Ayurveda
Hey…this happens to be my 100th post.
A huge thank you to all of you, yes… you who are reading this post!
I cannot begin to express how delighted I am to have people interested in what I have to say, and how lovely it is to get feedback and encouragement from someone I never met in person! Blogging has helped me grow and all of you have too. I have in small ways tried to share my experiences and also health tips on various ailments as a preventive method only. Hope you liked my articles. Thanks for helping me get this far. Looking forward to our continued association, and please do support me in this journey.…
Getting back to the article scheduled today –
Gargling salt water in the morning improves dental health
Gargling of the mouth is called Gandusha. Regular gargling of the mouth early in the morning improves dental health and prevents many ailments of the mouth and teeth. Mouth gargling with salt water (lukewarm) is popular done when people are having sore throat .This is a very old home remedy practiced to address sore throat issues. The primary cause of tooth decay is bacteria and this simple oral health technique will improve dental health.
How gargling with Salt water helps you
Gargling with salt water initiates the process of Osmosis. There is a natural tendency for a substance to move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. This means that even water moves from its region of abundance to its region of shortage. Since salt water is more concentrated (less water) than the contents in your mouth (including any germs in there), when you gargle with it, it tends to draw water out of bacterial cells (which have more water in them). All cells are over 70% water and require water to function effectively and hence survive. If the salt water is concentrated enough, it will kill most germs in the mouth and some from the throat. The brine solution considerably reduces the swelling caused by the bacteria. For an effective cure the process must be repeated more often.
There is clear evidence that many diseases and conditions are influenced by the mouth's ecology and bacteria. As we all know, the mouth is the gateway to the body. When you consider the fact that a clean mouth may have between 1,000 and 100,000 bacteria on each tooth, and those that do not have a clean mouth may have between 100 million and a billion bacteria on each tooth, surely salt water gargling will be effective.
How to Gargle with Salt Water
Salt water solution not only relieves the irritation caused due to sore throat, it also clears the nasal passage. Advised to follow on an empty stomach. Given below is the method to prepare this therapeutic saline solution.
☞ Measure 2 cups of water into a vessel which had a lid.
☞Heat it to lukewarm temperature
☞Add 1 tsp of salt to this water and mix until it is diluted.
☞Now gargle with a mouthful of this salt water and spit it out. Repeat this procedure several number of times to clear the infection and its symptoms.
** Please remember not to make the solution too concentrated with salt as it can dehydrate the mucous membranes in the process of dehydrating the bacteria.
To reap the benefits of gargling salt water, you must adopt it as a regular habit. This serves as a preventive measure for throat and mouth-related infections. Besides, it is advised to follow other personal hygiene habits like brushing teeth before going to bed, drinking a glass of warm water prior to bed time.
Gargle with Plain Water
Gargling with plain water is advised after meals to remove hidden particles between tooth and under the tongue. Gargling will minimize the smell of food consumed to a large extent. Few people also use mouth fresheners to prevent bad breath.
You may have observed that you rigorously gargle after brushing the teeth to remove all remnants of the toothpaste, foam.
Ayurveda approach on Mouth Gargling
Ayurveda practitioners recommend gargling of the mouth with lukewarm water removes Kapha, loss of taste, dirt, diseases of the teeth and gives lightness of the mouth. In addition to plain water gargling, there is a particularly good daily habit that benefits all people, especially Vata types, called Gandusha Snehana (oily mouthwash or oil pulling). It helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and keep the mouth and jaw clean and nourished. It can even treat mouth ulcers and the like. I'll give an update about this in my next article.
Ayurvedic Tips for Balanced Living – Beneficial Daily Routines
- Rise before the sunrise.
- Drink a full glass of water ( room temperature or lukewarm water).
- Clean your face, mouth and nasal passages and gargle with salt water.
- Do some light yoga or stretching exercises.
- Meditate for 20 minutes.
- Take a walk or run for ½ hour, 3–4 times per week.
- Have a nutritional breakfast according to your body type.
- Have a relaxing or complete meal at lunchtime between 11–2 pm.
- Relax for ½ hour after lunch.
- Meditate before dinner for 20 minutes.
- Eat dinner before 7:00 pm. This should not be a heavy meal.
- Allow two hours after your dinner before going to bed.
- Bedtime 10:00–11:00 pm.
- Wind up with a Prayer to thank God.
You can reap maximum benefits by following this routine and bring a change in your lifestyle. Thank you once again for all the support you have extended for completing my 100th post.

Hello! Today, I am sharing a card showcasing Taylored Expressions products including the Little Bits – Turkey. I just couldn't resist featuring him on a Thanksgiving card!
To begin, I created the tone-on-tone background with the Autumn Leaves Background stamp. Next, I die-cut and assembled the Little Bits – Turkey. I stamped the Thanksgiving Blessings sentiment on a Sugar Cube cardstock panel on to which I had added the Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink with a Clarity Stencil Brush. I added the die-cut Arbor Fence and Little Bits – Leaves for texture and color.

Hi there – thanks for checking out The Tofu Travels!
I'm Melissa – a tofu-eating, vegetable-loving writer, traveler and nutrition student. I love falafel, blackberries and almond croissants. I've been known to wax poetic about chia seeds (they're so tiny and nutritious!) and have a special place in my heart for anything French. In my spare time, I try my hand at gardening, practice yoga & dream about new places to visit. This world we live in is truly beautiful and I feel fortunate to be able to explore it.
I started this blog as a way to share my adventures in travel and to learn to cook from different cuisines around the world. Vegetarianism has a way of opening your eyes to a whole new way of cooking. It's part of the reason I'm glad I stopped eating meat 6-or-so years ago. Nowadays I eat fish occasionally, but mostly focus on plant-based protein sources.
Recently, I began the journey of going back to school to become a registered dietitian. I knew I wanted to combine my love of food with my passion for health and wellness. I believe whole-heartedly in nourishing our bodies with food that tastes good. That said, it helps to remember that life, including our health and wellness, is all a balancing act. And in the spirit of balance, I'll share some recipes here that are meant to be indulgent, while others are shared for their health benefits. Some are both! Either way, I'll only post things that are delicious.
So that's what you'll find here – a little mash up of veggie recipes, travel tales and a dose of nutrition. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!

Title : The Therman Behavior of Natural Backgrounds and Its Prediction by Means of Numerical Models,
Corporate Author : ADVISORY GROUP FOR AEROSPACE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE (FRAN CE)
Personal Author(s) : Wollenweber, Fritz O.
Report Date : SEP 1989
Pagination or Media Count : 12
Abstract : The Federal Office for Military Technology and Procurement together with the German Military Geophysical Office (GMGO) are conducting a research effort to establish procedures to describe and to predict thermal behavior of natural backgrounds under varying meteorological conditions. The experimental phase of this effort started in 1988 with measurements of surface temperatures of different backgrounds like trees, crops, pasture, roads and buildings together with meteorological measurements. These measurements are conducted in two geographical locations, the Meppen proving ground in Northern Germany and Oberjettenberg proving ground in the Alps. The measurement campaign has a time frame of at least one year with measurements taking place during three days each month. It is anticipated to gather a data set that reflects the full range of thermal backgrounds for tactically important locations in Central Europe. One objective of this effort is to compare and evaluate thermal background models that are under development as a companion task.

Big aurora lights are currently being seen in Alaska. We have a snowstorm blowing in the Fairbanks area, but the aurora can be seen despite! Also reporting are Nenana, Healy, Delta Junction, Homer. Alberta Canada reporting a great show. Have a look!
Monthly Archives: February 2015
Minor storm levels tonight and tomorrow night but clouds may take over the sky
The aurora forecast for tonight is minor storm levels. An excellent show may be seen tonight if you have clear skies. It does look to be cloudy in many areas around Alaska tonight so you will have to chase the lights to where the skies are clear! Your camera may pick up what looks like green clouds, which is the aurora behind the clouds. Saturday night into Sunday morning also is forecast for a nice aurora show, but the weather is predicted to be even worse. Check the weather in your area and decide if you want to venture out.
You can also peek at the cams. ABN Aurora Cam, the Alaska Aurora Cam or see other cams links here: Aurora Cams
Active tonight!
Tonight's forecast is quiet to active, Kp 4 expected. An aurora warning is in effect! It will be possible for most of the state of Alaska and much of Canada to see the lights tonight, weather depending. The northern portion of the contiguous USA may have a chance as well (heads up again Washington).
As with any aurora forecast, this may or may not happen. But we shall wait and see!
Last night the "big" cities in Alaska were clouded over, but a show was seen in other areas such as Healy, Talkeetna, Kenai, Homer, Soldotna, and even northern Washington and Idaho. Many areas of Canada saw the lights as well. Let's do it again tonight (except without clouds).
Follow along on the new all-sky cam located in North Pole, Alaska, tonight at ABN Aurora Cam
Aurora is out, but cloudy in the cities
Kenai and Homer, Alaska, Calgary area and Ontario area Canada, and also northern Washington have aurora. Lights can be seen in any areas in Alaska and Canada with no clouds. Montana may have a chance. Kp 5. Expect lights till dawn.
Clouds are covering many areas of Alaska, including North Pole, Fairbanks, Wasilla, and Anchorage.
Time of this post 910pm Alaska time.
Tonight's forecast is quiet but the current Kp level is 2
Tonight and tomorrow nights aurora forecast are quiet. This means if we see the northern lights, they may be a simple band, low, or even non-existent. Saturday night, as it stands now, the forecast is active, which means a display that dances or is higher in the sky. This of course, is depending on the weather. Both Fairbanks and Anchorage Saturday weather forecasts are cloudy with possible rain.
We'll post updates as conditions change.
Last night the aurora came out early, before the clouds took over. Aurora was seen in (as reported to ABN) North Pole, Fairbanks, Fox, and parts of Eagle River and Wasilla, where the clouds had an opening in the sky.

John Wilkes Booth? Probably not.
It seems that any photo of a guy with a mustache is identified as John Wilkes Booth. An eBay seller offered one recently with a Buy-It-Now price of $199.95. No one was foolish enough to take the bait and the listing expired without a sale. We don't believe the photographer's gallery even existed in 1865. In addition, the style of the carte indicates a date no earlier than the early 1870s and most likely much later. Here, for whatever it's worth, is his spiel:
AUTHENTIC JOHN WILKES BOOTH CDV PHOTO CIRCA 1856 WHEN BOOTH WAS APPOX. 18 YEARS OLD. BOOTH WAS AN ACTOR IN THE NEW YORK AREA AT THIS TIME AND WAS PHOTOGRAPHED REGULARLY. THIS PHOTO WAS BOUGHT IN 1996 AT AN ESTATE SALE OF A VERY PROMINENT NY DOCTOR THAT WAS A HUGE CIVIL WAR COLLECTOR. THIS HAS BEEN THE PRIZE PIECE IN MY COLLECTION AND I AM ONLY SELLING TO COLLECT OTHER CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA THAT I HAVE FOUND. THIS PICTURE ORIGINALLY CAME WITH DOCUMENTATION OF AUTHENTICITY AND PAPERWORK FROM THE AUCTION BUT … I HAVE MANAGED TO MISS PLACE THIS PAPERWORK. I DID NOT WANT TO PAY TO HAVE IT RECERTIFIED THUS I AM STARTING THIS AUCTION FOR MUCH LESS THAN I PAID FOR THE PHOTO. I DO HOWEVER 100 % GUARANTEE IT'S AUTHENTICITY. IF YOU PURCHASE THIS PHOTO AND YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH IT I WILL REFUND 100% OF YOUR MONEY AND ALSO PAY FOR THE SHIPPING BACK TO ME. BOOTH HAS VERY DISTINCT FEATURES AND KEPT THE SAME HAIR STYLE AND MUSTACHE FOR MANY YEARS. HE EVEN POSED FOR MANY OF HIS PHOTOS IN THE SAME MANNER. IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/lincolnconspiracy/bo* YOU CAN SEE SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF PHOTOS OF HIM A LITTLE OLDER WHERE HE IS POSED VERY SIMILARLY TO THIS PHOTO… THE BACK READS " A.B.E.

LOU KOKKINAKOS (aka DJ LOU KOKO)
Lou has always been interested in entertainment, but his first foray into music programming came in his Freshman year at Essex Community College, where he helped to establish the school's radio station as music director. He continued his education at the University of Baltimore where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Corporate Communications.
Lou used his talent as an entertainer to finance his education, working nights in the Baltimore club scene. After completing his education, Lou went to work for Rodento Management's national franchise "Kahunaville", where he started as a Disc Jockey, but was quickly promoted to Entertainment Director. Lou's unique personality and incomparable emcee skills have led him to work around the Baltimore Metro area in venues like Bar Baltimore, Have a Nice Day Café, Hammerjacks, Aqua, Babalu,Iguana Cantina, and Bourbon Street. In addition, Lou was featured on Baltimore's Mix 106.5 FM, with the hit dance program 'In the Mix' as DJ, CO-HOST and music programmer.

From early childhood, Angelo loved music. You could always find Angelo playing guitar, drums, or keyboard. While studying at the Peabody Conservatory of music he embraced and thrived on technologies in the music industry. With an extensive technical understanding, Angelo then moved to the University of Baltimore where he received his degree in business. It wasn't long before the business mind and technical abilities of Angelo helped propel the Koko Brothers into the leading entertainment company it is today.
Angelo's knowledge of entertainment, from music and lighting, to sound and video leads him to design all over the United States. His vision and creativity have taken him from the Nation's Capital to the hip club scene of Florida and as far west as San Diego, California. While he has always had a respect and understanding of wedding entertainment, Angelo's knowledge grew tremendously on September 6, 1998 when he was married. Since his wedding day, Angelo has made a commitment to help brides and grooms create the perfect celebration. Since then Angelo has performed and provided impeccable services for countless weddings, concerts, and events for all of life's celebrations.

What makes a great Sedona wine cellar? We'll raise a glass in praise of passion and personality – two traits common to the five very different rooms profiled here. Cellars (we'll use the term even though only one of these is underground) all must keep wine at the right temperature and humidity; beyond that, the aesthetic style is up to the individual. Most of these five teamed with designers and architects to get the results they envisioned; the joy for life they bring to the table, expressed in their personal style and love for a fine Cabernet, Zinfandel or Bordeaux, is their own.
Glass Centerpiece
"The house was built around the wine cellar," says Doug Napp with a laugh. "It was the most important thing!" It was his idea to house his collection – about 1,800 bottles – behind a glass wall facing his dining room. "It's not huge [90 sq. ft.]," he says, but looms large via the "ambiance it gives us when sharing a meal." Doug, a CPA, left the details to the pros. "I have 10 thumbs," he jokes. "I know numbers." Which comes in handy as he eyes his collection. "My kids tease, 'Keep buying because we're going to get [the collection],' and I say, 'Over my dead body! I'm drinking it all!' You'll want wine you can let age, and be here to enjoy it. At some stage I think I'll have to stop buying," he chuckles, "because I've done the math."
State of the Art
Larry Decker has about 2,000 bottles in his wine cellar, although "without the art, the capacity would probably be about 10,000." But that would only be half the fun – having a gallery in the 30′ x 15′ room "combines two passions," Larry says. "This was not even a room when we bought the house. We had people come in with sledgehammers and jackhammers and wheelbarrows to dig this out from the rock." It took about three months to build, and needs two coolers to maintain temperature, but the setting has an extraordinary charm, a soothing setting for socializing. "We have tastings down there, serve appetizers or aperitifs," Larry says. "People may not like to be at 57 degrees, so that's a bit of a downside." Then again, "all those bodies heat things up; the coolers have to work extra hard."
In-Room Hideaway
When Ike and Carol McDonald began thinking about their new house in Sedona, a built-in wine closet wasn't in their plans. "I began buying wines when we were living in California, but I never had a place to keep it cool," Ike recalls. "I used the garage, which really is not good. My first thought here was to buy a wine cabinet, but when I mentioned it to our architect at the Design Group, he just designed it into the house. It looks nicer, and it's quieter, because he put the air-conditioning unit on the roof." Another plus was the ability to add stained-glass doors with an eco-friendly theme, which the McDonalds love. The unit holds about 270 bottles, and gives Ike options unimaginable in his old carport. "I can control the temperature," he exults. "They say 58 degrees but I keep it at 55-56 – I think that's roughly what it was in the natural wine cellars in Europe."
Crate Expectations
Keith Schall's background is in academia, so naturally when he began planning his Sedona wine cellar, he did his homework. "There's a book called How and Why To Build a Wine Cellar; I practically memorized that one before we moved here." While he happily left it to the pros to construct the insulated, sound-deadened room when the house was built, "I was able to make sure everything was right." He put a personal stamp on the room by doing his own cabinet work (plywood and pine), and accenting it with end pieces from wooden wine cartons. But what makes him happiest? Location, location, location. "We wanted it on the main level – near the garage because we would be bringing cases in and out, and near the kitchen because that's the first place one goes with a bottle," he says. "So they put it right in the middle of the house."
Eclectic Company
"Some wine cellars are really nice with all the cedar, you know, they smell great, but they're so uniform," laments Jeff Graham. "It's nice when they have molded corners and all that. But if you can, I think it should reflect upon you and your lifestyle and who you are." Mission accomplished; Jeff's eclectic wine cellar, a marvel of shapes, could never be called cookie-cutter. "This was a small [12′ x 12′] breakfast patio we enclosed. My roommate at the time was a carpenter. It was my direction, but he built the frames and I did the artwork of arranging the tubes in a pattern. They are ceramic, and hold cool. So I told my roommate, 'Go to the hardware store and bring me one of every kind they make.' And that's why we have the different shapes; people love to have their picture taken in there."
