Natural Beauty Recipes
Honey Mask
The best facial mask is honey. Place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores. Smear on honey, and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Use once a week.
Miracle Whip Exfoliator (Victoria, Anti-aging Beauty Tips)
"Yes, I am talking about the same Miracle Whip your Aunt Mable uses in her macaroni salad. Apparently, women all over the US are using this salad dressing ingredient on their faces to remove dead flaky skin.
I have not tried it myself, but supposedly, KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP Exfoliating Facial makes an amazing treatment for normalizing over-oily skin.
Here is how you apply this "miracle cream":
Make sure all your hair is pulled back from your face. Apply a thin layer of the KMW all over your face, up to the eyelashes and make sure to also put some on your neck. The "fumes" from the vinegar may bother you so walk around the house to try to escape them. LOL!
Leave on for 10 minutes, then massage gently. The dead skin cells on your face will roll off in rubbery little balls. Rinse your skin with tepid water, then cleanse as usual following your regular beauty regime. If you apply the KMW every day, in 6-8 weeks your skin should be completely renewed.
I cannot help but wonder if this Miracle Whip eats away at the dead skin cells on your face, what does it do to the inside of the body when someone eats it?? Pretty scary!!! One person believes that the vinegar in the Miracle Whip is what causes the exfoliation and rejuvenation. If that is true, why not try a mixture of organic apple cider vinegar with some olive oil, apply that and see what happens? One could whip together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar, apply it to their face and then use the leftovers on their salad!
I think I will start experimenting with some ingredients and try to come up with a facial recipe to rival the KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP!" Special Note from, Lucie, the site owner: "This trick actually works. After reading Victoria's email about the Miracle Whip beauty trick (the above is an excerpt from that email), I bought a small jar of Miracle Whip. I applied a slighter thicker layer than was recommended, and the vinegar smell was quite strong. After a minute or two the Miracle Whip 'melted' and that left my face very shiny and oily looking. After 10 min., I washed the Whip away and I couldn't believe the results. All the flaky dry skin was gone and my skin felt tight and smooth. Very strange, indeed!"
Remove Hair Build-up (www.creativehomemaking.com)
1/4 cup vinegar 1 cup water
After conditioning the hair use this as a final rinse. Leaves your hair soft and shiny.
Hair Egg Conditioner (www.creativehomemaking.com)
1 teaspoon baby oil 1 egg yolk 1 cup water
Beat the egg yolk until its frothy, add the oil then beat again. Add to the water. Massage into the scalp and throughout your hair. Rinse well.
Hair Conditioner One (www.creativehomemaking.com)
Combine mashed avocado with some coconut milk. Comb it through the hair and let sit for 10 -15 minutes, rinse out.
In a blender, combine 1 ounce olive oil, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Use as regular shampoo.
Baking soda removes conditioner build-up from your hair. Rub in and rinse thoroughly, then shampoo with your regular shampoo.
Mayonnaise is a great conditioner for dry hair.
Depending on the length of your hair, apply approximately 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to your dry hair. Work into hair really well and then cover your hair with a plastic bag, allowing to set for about 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and then shampoo as usual.
Avocado Facial
Avocado is a naturally rich moisturizer. Mash the meat of the avocado into a creamy texture. Massage into the face and neck . Leave on for 15 minutes and gently rinse off.
Facial Mask
Squeeze half a lemon and mix the juice with one beaten egg white. Leave on your face overnight or, for a quick pick-me-up, just 15 minutes. Splash warm water on your face to rinse. It helps to removes blotches, because the lemon works as a bleaching agent.
Lighten Circles under Eyes
To lighten dark circles under your eyes, wrap a grated raw potato in cheesecloth and apply to eyelids for 15-20 minutes. Wipe off residue and apply an eye cream.
Mix together 1 tablespoon honey, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon almond oil and 1 tablespoon yogurt. Honey stimulates and smoothes, egg and almond oil penetrate and moisturize, and yogurt refines and tightens pores.
Clay is available in powder form at any health food store. Mix 1 tablespoon dry clay with 1 egg yolk, 1/4 of a mashed avocado and enough witch hazel to create a smooth mixture. Mud dries excess sebum while the egg yolk and avocado replenish lost moisture. Witch hazel tones.
Mix two whole eggs with four tablespoons of olive oil. Smooth through hair. Wrap head with plastic wrap, and leave in hair for 10 minutes. Rinse well.
Facial Exfoliater
2 heaped tsp fine oatmeal 1 tsp. baking soda
Combine ingredients, and add enough water to make a paste. Apply to skin and rub gently. Rinse and gently pat dry.
Banana Wrinkle Fighter
Banana is wonderful as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Mash 1/4 banana until very creamy. Spread all over face and leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water followed by a dash of cold. Gently pat dry.
Grape Cleanser
Grape juice makes an excellent cleanser for any skin type. Simply split one or two large grapes, remove pips and rub the flesh over face and neck. Rinse off with cool water.
Oily Skin Mask
Mix 1 tsp. brewer's yeast with enough natural yogurt to make a thin mixture. Pat this thoroughly into all the oily areas and allow it to dry on the skin. After 15 - 20 minutes, rinse off with warm water, then cool water and blot dry.

Why do people experience incredible
weight loss on a juice fast?
Before that question can be
answered, we have to understand what 'juice fasting' is about.
Juice fasting is about abstaining
from solid food, for a period of time, while supplying your body with the most
nutritious drinks on this planet. By providing essential vitamins and minerals,
the juice can actually jump-start the body's fat-burning mechanisms. One glass
of freshly-made fruit or vegetable juice provides you with the equivalent
vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and chlorophyll you would get by eating
several pounds of raw fruits and vegetables.
Most of us have heard how thousands
are losing up to 10 pounds in 2 days on the best-selling Hollywood 48-Hour
Miracle Diet in which you simply juice fast on bottled (dead) juice for 2
days. Well, juice fasting is a healthier version of the Hollywood Diet because
you can fast longer than 2 days while supplying your body with live enzymes and
nutrient-rich fresh fruit and vegetable juices.
Dr. Shelton, a great advocate of
fasting, wrote "The weight lost by overweight patients in the early
days of a fast is astounding. I have seen losses of five and six pounds a day
for the first few days. A woman who fasted in the Health School in January and
February of 1950 lost twenty-five pounds in the first two weeks.

Red Glass BarbDetails https://www.petsmart.ca/fish/live-fish/goldfish-betta-and-more/red-glass-barb-5071438.html
1. Select SizePlease select a variation value to continue
This item is not available for in-store pickup. Check store availability.
product highlights
- Diet: Frozen, Freeze-dried
- Maximum size: 4"
- Water temperature: 72-78° F
- Swimming level: Middle
- Schooling fish
- Experience level: Beginner
- Tank Setup: 20+ gallons
Great for beginner aquarists, barbs are hardy, lively schooling fish with a striking coloration. Barbs are playful, active swimmers and may harass or nip the fins of slow moving fish. If kept in schools of five or more they usually stick to themselves, and do not bother the other fish in the aquarium as often as only one or two barbs would.
Barbs eat both plant and animal matter, including prepared foods, small live foods and certain vegetables. You will see your barbs swimming in the middle of your aquarium. To create a beautiful environment, besure to add some top and bottom swimmers as well. Ask a PetSmart associate to help you choose.
Things to remember
Staple diet
Choose a tropical flake or pellet food. Feed according to the directions on the package.
Small amounts of romaine lettuce, zucchini and peas are a good addition to the diet. Also try a prepared food made with spirulina (a nutritious type of algae). Remove uneaten vegetables after four hours.
Specialty foods
Vary their diet by including frozen or freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex worms and other small worms, mosquito larvae and daphnia. Always remember to thaw frozen foods before feeding.
Frequent feedings
For optimum health, feed your barbs as much food as they will consume in 1-3 minutes, twice a day. You can alternate between regular staple diet feedings and 2-4 meals per week of a specialty food.
Start with a 20-gallon or larger, long aquarium. A good rule of thumb is one gallon of water for every one inch of full-grown fish.
Decorate their aquarium with rocks, driftwood and plants, but be sure to place them on the sides and back of the tank so they'll have enough space to swim in the center.
Fish compatibility
Barbs are healthiest and happiest in an aquarium with a large school for active swimming and games. They may become aggressive if kept in too small a group, or may become shy and withdrawn if kept alone.

The new forums are.. weird, to put it bluntly... It doesn't use the exact same BBCode as these forums, and while the extra format options are nice, they feel wonky. The previews never seem to load for me as well, so I can't even check if my posts look all right.
Not to mention the overall color palette. Even though you can change it, it's still unpleasant to look at.

If you think you've got selfie game, think again! This epic video by Alex Chacón puts all other selfies to shame. Chacón shot this video in the span of 600 days, while travelling 125,946 miles through 36 countries, on 5 different motorcycles. Along his journey he snapped multiple short selfie clips using his GoPro camera.

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Galivants Ferry attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

KUUSAMO, Finland (Dec. 1) – World Cup sprint champion Kikkan Randall (Anchorage) fought hard to earn a fifth-place finish during Sunday's 10k freestyle pursuit, the finale of the Ruka Triple mini-tour and cross country World Cup season opening weekend. Randall posted the best result for the U.S. Cross Country Ski Team while Marit Bjoergen from Norway took the victory for the second-straight year. In the men's 15k pursuit, Noah Hoffman (Aspen, CO) posted the fastest race time of the day, emerging with an impressive ninth-place finish after starting 38th. Hoffman finished only 12.2-seconds behind winner Norwegian Martin Johnsrud Sundby.

Kikkan Randall
I'm super happy to wrap up a successful Ruka Triple today with a fifth place finish. It felt so good to be back on my skate skis! In classic I feel like I have to focus so hard on my technique and I can't always use all the power and fitness that I have. But today I felt so comfortable on my skis and was able to use my full capacity. I had a good battle with Jacobsen and Tcheckaleva on the last two laps and had a strong gear in the finish.
It's really cool to see so many strong performances from the team today! Sadie, Jessie, Liz and Holly all skied really strong in the women's race and Hoffman skied an incredibly gutsy race to take the fastest time of the day and ninth place.
Spirits are high now for the start of the season and we're really excited for the relays next weekend in Lillehammer. We feel especially proud of the success this weekend because all the other big teams have their big wax buses here and armies of support staff and yet our small team is right in there skiing as well as any of them!
Noah Hoffman
I'm happy with the way I skied. I get 50 World Cup points and 5,000 Swiss francs on top of that. It's not a full World Cup win by any means but I'll take it. Skiing in ninth in the tour is a big improvement over where I was yesterday so I'm happy with that as well.
I'm really encouraged by my energy and my fitness right now and feeling like the best part about it is that my coaches and I have really good control over the situation, over my energy. I don't think this happened by accident and so I think it's repeatable and I'm looking forward to continuing on the rest of the season.
I owe a huge amount to the incredible sports medicine staff at the U.S. Ski Team for getting me back to 100 percent so quickly. My skis were wonderful today as well and my wax tech Randy Gibbs deserves a huge congrats as well. Our service staff does an incredible amount with very little relative to the other teams in terms of resources. We are entirely grateful and also so lucky to have them.
Sadie Bjornsen
Ruka was a fun and exciting way to start the World Cup Season. There is a long season ahead and many more races to come, but I am excited to have a great series under me. It was fun to get my first top ten in distance, fun to figure out some classic sprinting and even more fun to challenge myself on an intimidating course surrounded by fast people today! While it wasn't as good as the other two races this weekend, I was pleased with today. I held myself together, and spent some time skiing with some of the fastest skiers in the World. I know what it looks like to skate ski at the highest level, and I am excited to do some more skate racing this season and improve my skills!
I look forward to next weekend filled with more classic racing, and a relay race that, for the first time ever, we can start two woman's teams! That is going to be an exciting moment for all of us!
Chris Grover, U.S. Cross Country Ski Team Head Coach
We had a great day here in Ruka. Noah Hoffman skied the fastest time of the day in the 15 km skate pursuit to move from 38th to ninth overall in the mini-Tour. Kikkan Randall, Jessie Diggins and Liz Stephen skied the seventh, eighth, and ninth fastest times of the day, and Jessie did this despite having her pole and glove pulled off when someone stepped on her pole. Jessie skied most of the race without a glove in -14 Celsius temperatures. Kikkan moved from seventh in the Tour to fifth, outsprinting Astrid Jacobsen and Yulia Tcheckaleva to secure the top-five finish. She put the hammer down around the last corner and into the finishing straight and the others could not respond. Once again, we had incredible skis thanks to the hard work of our service team.
It was an excellent start to the World Cup season for the U.S. with many personal bests. The Team's results have certainly exceeded our expectations.

Del Shannon
Not your average teen idol.
He had the commercial success and good looks of a teen pop star, but Del Shannon was so much more. He wrote, played guitar on and sang his own songs, often in a minor key that predicted the trends of the British Invasion.
Del Shannon is a key figure in rock and roll's transition from the Fifties to Sixties, serving as something of a link between Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
He was among the relatively few self-reliant rock and rollers of the Teen Idol era. He wrote his own material, played guitar and sang without projecting a manufactured image. Shannon turned out a solid run of hits during the first half of the Sixties, including one bonafide classic ("Runaway") and seven more Top 40 singles. He also gave and received influence from the up-and-coming bands of the British Invasion, including the Beatles.
Shannon was born Charles Westover in Coopersville, Michigan. An early fan of Hank Williams, Shannon picked up the guitar in his pre-teen years. By the time he was 14, he was playing at school shows. "His guitar was his crutch," said Russell Conran, his high-school principal. "Charles played his guitar everywhere he went, at football games, in the hallways, at noon hour, everywhere."
After high school, Shannon served in the army in Germany. He then returned home and formed his first band, the Midnight Ramblers. He took his stage name from a friend, Mark Shannon, and his boss' car, a Cadillac Coupe de Ville. The Ramblers became regulars at the Hi-Lo Club in Battle Creek, Michigan. In early 1960 a deejay from local station WHRV caught one of the shows and arranged for an audition with Detroit's Big Top Records. The label signed Shannon and sent him to New York to record some songs. The initial sessions did not yield much, but he was sent back to New York for another session. He wound up recording what became his first and most famous hit, "Runaway." This minor-keyed classic from 1961—which occupied the Number One spot for four weeks and has been covered by more than two hundred artists—possessed two distinctive qualities that became signatures of Shannon's sound: his frequent use of a forceful falsetto and bandmate/co-writer Max Crook's solo on the "musitron," a high-pitched electric organ. "Runaway" made an overnight star of Shannon, who suddenly found himself performing on package tours with the likes of Jackie Wilson and Dion.
Shannon followed "Runaway" with pop-rockers like "Hats Off to Larry," which reached Number Five; "So Long Baby," which made it to Number Twenty-Eight; "Hey! Little Girl," which hit Number Thirty-Eight, and "Little Town Flirt," which went to Number Twelve and influenced Britain's Merseybeat bands. He also recorded inspired covers of "Handy Man" and "Do You Wanna Dance." Shannon did his first tour of England in 1962, and he returned the following year. On that second trip, he met the Beatles and shared a bill with them at London's Royal Albert Hall on April 18, 1963. Later that year, he recorded a cover of "From Me to You," making him the first American artist to record and chart a Lennon-McCartney tune. In the U.S. Shannon's version of "From Me to You" reached Number Seventy-Seven on the Billboard chart in the summer of 1963—fully half a year before the Beatles' own American chart debut with "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Two years later, the British pop duo Peter and Gordon scored a Top 10 hit with Shannon's "I Go to Pieces," which they learned from him while touring Australia in early 1965.
Two more chart singles—"Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)" and "Stranger in Town"—came in 1964. Each bore a haunted, minor-key aura that was Shannon's unmistakable signature and a likely symptom of the depression that would trouble him throughout his life. Shannon's career cooled off as musical tastes changed in the latter half of the Sixties. In 1967 he recorded with the Rolling Stones' producer, Andrew Loog Oldham, but the material was deemed too progressive by his record label and went unreleased for decades until its inclusion on a 1991 compilation CD, Del Shannon: The Liberty Years. Nicky Hopkins and John Paul Jones played on those sessions.
In 1969 Shannon began focusing more of his attention on production, setting up his own independent company. He arranged the group Smith's 1969 hit "Baby, It's You," and the following year Shannon cut a hit single, "Gypsy Woman," for Brian Hyland. Shannon also continued touring, performing frequently in England, where he remained very popular.
With assistance from fans and fellow musicians like Jeff Lynne, Dave Edmunds and Tom Petty, Shannon recorded sporadically in the Seventies and Eighties. In 1974 Edmunds produced "And the Music Plays On" for Shannon. In 1975 Shannon released a version of the Zombies' "Tell Her No." During the middle part of that decade, Shannon was suffering from bouts of alcoholism. Then in 1981, he teamed up with Petty, who produced the album Drop Down and Get Me (1981), which yielded a Top 40 hit—Shannon's first since 1965—with his cover of Phil Phillips' "Sea of Love." "I'd heard of Tom Petty," Shannon said at the time. "I just hadn't heard him. When I wasn't hot, I avoided anyone who was hot."
During the rest of the Eighties, Shannon remained active as a performer. After working steadily on the oldies circuit, he recorded Rock On! (1991), with musical accompaniment by Petty and the Heartbreakers, among others. On February 8, 1990, when the album was almost completed, Shannon—who had suffered bouts of depression and alcoholism dating back to the Sixties—committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a .22-caliber rifle.

Common for sailors to get lashings for punishment. Sailors would then get tattoos of god symbols on thier back so the thrasher was less likely to whip the symbol of the god.
Others say symbols bring bad luck. They draw the attention of the god and it could be wrathful.

ssociated Press
The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly looking to trade some of their younger players in an effort to "shed salary for summer free agency."
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reported the news Monday, noting the Lakers have made Julius Randle and Larry Nance Jr. available in potential trades. Wojnarowski also wrote "there's a mutual desire to find something sooner than later" when discussing a possible Jordan Clarkson trade even though Los Angeles was previously hoping to wait until the end of the season.
So recently we've been talking about trades and clearing the logjam we have at Center and one team that might be of interest is the Lakers. They seemingly have only one legit big in Robin who doesn't look the part of a rebuilding C. And now they're looking to see what they can do with these guys, all of which are pretty young. At first this was gonna be a WHG trade post but I can see different values for any of our bigs. With that said, here are some options:
Oquinn for Randle works straight up. You might have to throw in a second rounder just off Randall potential but not much. Oquinn is already a more productive player. Not that it makes him more valuable but I wouldn't add much more. It gives the Lakers a productive Gruber that plays a position they are weak at. For the Knicks, again it clears our logjam and gives us another player from KPs draft range for years to come.
Kanter plus 2 second and next years second rounder for all three should work. Lakers get a player whose been as productive as any two players combined as well as at least 3 second rounders. Knicks again, clear the jam and get three prospects to aid the long term rebuild.
WHG plus Jack for Randall. I'm just about tired of saying it clears the jam. But it also clears any resistance to starting Frank. He'll get minutes, Oquinn can stop looking over his shoulder (maybe not).
Obviously you can see by now that Randall is in every scenario but I like the idea of him. Maybe I'm wrong but I want my stretch 4 and in allot of ways a ball handling 4. Understandably the question is why covet him with Beasley here but Nearly is more my short term option and I like how he's performed but I got no plans top give him a long term deal. Randall is essentially long term Beasely.

If I had a time machine, I would go back in time and punch whoever invented the Fun Size candy bar.
Because you know what? They aren't very fun at all. Eating just one is definitely not fun (too small!) and when you inevitably try to satisfy your candy appetite by eating 10-12 of the pint-sized treats, what you feel is basically the opposite of fun.
Can this sticky situation be salvaged in time for Halloween, when Fun Size reigns? In the name of science, I purchased an entire bag of Fun Size Snickers bars and tried in several different ways to put the fun back in Fun Size. I'm happy to report that it was indeed fun, decidedly delicious, and these ideas could easily be translated to other Fun size variations (perhaps not so much on the non-chocolate varieties such as Starburst or Skittles, though I encourage you to choose your own adventures). Ready for some fun? Let's do it:
Fun Size S'more: Guess what? Making a s'more with a Fun Size candy bar instead of bar chocolate works fantastically! The caramel oozed in a most satisfying way, and worked in a sort of campfire-meets-rocky road sort of way. (P.S. if you like this, you may also enjoy the S'moreo).
Fun Size Filled Cupcakes: Make a batch of cupcakes. Fill the cup slightly lower than you generally would with batter, and put a fun-size bar directly in the cup. Bake per the recipe's instructions, and then frost once cooled. It's like a sweet trick (and treat) in the middle of your already awesome cupcake. Score!
Fun Size Frosting Sandwich: Sandwich together two Fun Size bars with a generous smear of buttercream frosting. Ignore any objections or concerns that may arise as a result of friends, arteries, or better judgment, and let the party in your mouth begin.
Fun Size Kebab: Alternate slices of your Fun Size candy with another small-ish confection, say a Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll. Because two small treats make one delicious experience.
Fun Size Shortbread: Kind of like a simplified Millionaire's shortbread. Simply make your favorite shortbread recipe and form as cookies or as bars (I used a mini scone pan, for no particular reason other than that it was clean and around), and before baking cut up an entire Fun Size candy bar on top of each serving. The candy will ooze into the shortbread as it bakes. It doesn't necessarily look pretty, but it tastes fantastic.
"Let's Be Honest With Ourselves" Fun Size Confection: Let's be honest. We've all eaten four Fun-Size candy bars (at least) in one sitting. So why not be honest with yourself by mashing them all together beforehand? Take four bars and align them together on a plate; microwave on high for about 20 seconds. Use a knife to smooth over the chocolate so that they stick together, and dig in while it's still warm. Use a knife and fork and your dignity will remain intact. Sort of.

Especially for mapping the intellectual structure of a research field as represented by its authors, author co-citation analysis (ACA) has frequently been applied over the last two decades, but no author BC analysis has so far been attempted. Theoretically, the main limitations of ACA can be circumvented by author BC analysis: (1) While ACA maps the past (cited authors), author BC analysis maps the present (citing authors), thus supporting study of more current author knowledge networks. (2) Because the data sources that citation analysis studies rely on index all authors of each citing (source) paper but only the first author of each cited reference, ACA has been forced to only consider authors contributions as first authors whereas author BC analysis can easily also include authors contributions as non-first authors, allowing a less biased view of intellectual structures of research fields, especially highly collaborative fields.
In this paper, we define author BC and conduct an author BC analysis of the Information Science field using the same dataset as that used in our previous ACA study, which covers Information Science during 1996-2005. We find that these two citation-based author knowledge network analysis methods do indeed complement each other, with one providing a more realistic picture of the state of research within the IS field and the other revealing the structure of both internal and external influences on the IS research. In combination, the two methods provide a more comprehensive view of the intellectual structure of the IS field than either of them alone.

Melatonin supplements may help improve sleep in people with high blood pressure (hypertension) who take beta-blockers, according to a recent randomized controlled study. Beta-blockers are prescribed to treat a number of health problems and are the most commonly prescribed class of drugs for hypertension. However, frequent side effects of these drugs are difficulty sleeping and daytime fatigue, which may result from their suppression of melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. The intent of this study was to determine whether melatonin supplements for 3 weeks would improve sleep in hypertensive patients who were chronically treated with beta-blockers. Findings from this clinical trial, co-funded by NCCAM, were published in the journal Sleep.
The 16 participants enrolled in the study were adults (45 to 64 years of age) who had been diagnosed with uncomplicated essential hypertension, but were otherwise healthy. They had taken beta-blockers for at least 6 months, and some also took other antihypertensive drugs. Participants were not required to have sleep problems. Researchers randomly assigned participants to take either a 2.5 mg capsule of melatonin or a matching placebo by mouth 1 hour before bedtime, for approximately 3 weeks (20 to 28 days, depending upon laboratory and scheduling factors). An inpatient laboratory stay of 4 days in a private suite occurred at the beginning and at the end of this period, where patients were monitored for changes in sleep and daytime activities. The laboratory schedule consisted of 16 hours of scheduled wakefulness per day and 8 hours of scheduled bed rest per night at the same times as patients had maintained during the out-patient portions in the week prior to both admissions. Outside the lab, sleep and activity patterns were measured through several means, including a sensor worn on the wrist.
The researchers found that, compared with placebo, taking melatonin supplements significantly increased the participants' total sleep time by 36 minutes; increased sleep efficiency by almost 8 percent; decreased sleep onset latency (by 14 minutes) to stage 2 sleep; and increased the length of sleep by 41 minutes in stage 2 (though not in other stages). In addition, a number of negative effects that can occur with chronic use of prescription sleep aids did not occur with melatonin. Patients did not experience tolerance (lowering of effectiveness following chronic use) or rebound sleep disturbance (sleep problems that develop after stopping a sleep aid), nor did the researchers find a decrease in slow-wave and/or REM sleep. Since beta-blockers must typically be taken for life, these benefits would be significant advantages.
The researchers acknowledged limitations in the study, particularly the small size and the unavailability of pre-study measurements (prior to beta-blocker therapy). However, investigators suggested that melatonin may have profound potential benefits in improving sleep, not only for the more than 20 million people taking beta-blockers, but also for patients with other health conditions and risks associated with sleep disturbances.

Nino is an award-winning filmmaker, DP and film producer based in Vienna. He focuses mainly on documentary and commercial work. He is known for his feature-length documentary "Every Step You Take" (2007).
Austrian-born Nino Leitner recently posted on his widely read blog (www.ninofilm.net) about the significance of shooting 8-bit vs. 12-bit footage. Today, the Austrian-born writer, director, and cinematographer favors the 8-bit Canon C300, but he knows what the future has in store. An 8-bit JPEG can represent 16.7 million colors, whereas a high bit-depth file, offering the best image quality possible today, can represent over 28 billion. Being a narrative filmmaker, Leitner often has to shoot under very difficult lighting conditions. The added dynamic range of 12-bit shooting enables a level of control over a scene's look and feel that is physically impossible with 8-bit. Leitner knows that 12-bit represents both his future as well as that of the film industry. The problem, of course, is that 12-bit requires dramatic change in storage capacity and performance.
Such technical improvements are nothing new to Leitner. From his earliest documentary production in 2007 to his recent work on the fiction short film ALEX, one of the first films to use the 4K raw capability of the Canon C500, Leitner has been elbow-deep in dealing with storage throughout the cinematographic process. He knows that wrong storage solution will cripple and potentially derail a project. This is why Leitner now leans heavily on storage solutions from G-Technology.
"Obviously, file sizes are growing exponentially," says Leitner. "You shoot uncompressed 4K on a Canon C500 camera or something like that and you end up with huge amounts of data that need to be saved. It's 1TB of data for one hour of footage with that camera—insane! And I usually try to never delete anything on-set, because that's just asking for errors to happen. I try to pull data off only from backup copies of the drives and cards. I keep the original drives untouched as long as possible."
The upside to this approach is maximum data security. If original copies are never touched, there's almost no risk of information loss. Of course, this also means needing double or triple the storage capacity on hand in order to make and work with backup copies. Leitner notes doing a recent job for a railway line that yielded almost 2TB of raw footage, and he needed three times that capacity for his total workflow. On average, he uses 4TB to 5TB per month, although that number is clearly climbing.
Long before being contacted by G-Technology to join its G-Team of world-renowned creative professionals, Leitner made G-Technology drives part of his daily toolset. His favored backup product on-set is the G-Technology G-DRIVE mini. The drive features USB 2.0 and 3.0 interfaces as well as FireWire 400 and 800. Additionally, at just over a half-kilogram, the mini measures roughly 12cm x 8cm x 2.5cm. This makes for a very flexible, compact backup solution that can also be easily shared with clients, such as when delivering dailies or submitting edited projects for review.
If there is a downside to portable backup drives, it's that they tend to trade speed for convenience. In a time when the industry is moving from 2K formats to 4K and higher—never mind the added data load of 8-bit to 12-bit—backup drives often lack the throughput necessary to handle the higher bitrates of these latest formats.
"On a job, if I'm shooting something like the Canon C500 or RED that needs more speed than what a USB drive can handle, I use G-Technology's G-RAID with Thunderbolt," says Leitner." I love that drive for editing. Not in the field, because it needs power—but in a hotel? You can really throw huge amounts of data on that. On ALEX, it literally saved our butts because without it, our digital imaging technician would still be sitting there copying data to USB drives two weeks after the shoot."
Having sufficient throughput ensures that a drive can provide editing capabilities at or near real-time levels. In a backup capacity, that bandwidth can also mean the difference between high on-site productivity and a terrible experience fraught with errors.
"Frequently, after the shoot," he adds, "you end up with so much data that you sit there for hours and hours backing up. It's already 1:00, 2:00 in the morning and you have to get up at 5:00 or 6:00 again. You're like, 'If I didn't have to use a USB 2.0 drive, it would save me so much time and make life so much easier!' That happens all the time, and that's where I really enjoy using G-Technology drives equipped with USB 3.0, especially the Thunderbolt. It makes a lot of difference if you're sitting there after the shoot for only half an hour instead of two hours."
The G-DRIVE minis and G-RAID with Thunderbolt are sufficient to cover most of Leitner's storage needs in the field. Back in his office, where the heaviest data lifting comes into play, Leitner is now setting up a G-Technology G-SPEED™ eS PRO. This SAS-based, four-bay mini tower allows for capacities up to 16TB and will outperform even Fibre Channel as a high-bandwidth storage medium. As Leitner's needs expand, he will have the option of adding another eS PRO to his storage network, enabling throughput in excess of 1000 MB/s.
"Like many others, I've gone through a lot of different manufacturers of hard disks," he says. "If you think about it, your storage is one of the most important things you can have on a shoot. One of our problems is that we don't use tapes anymore, so we don't have a proper archiving medium. All we can do is get the best hard drives out there. So far, I think G-Technology drives are the most reliable. I couldn't say that about some of the other manufacturers."
Leitner emphasizes that support is another key factor behind his G-Technology preference. In addition to the company focusing its products on creative professionals, G-Technology also makes sure that its support staff are both knowledgeable and accessible from a broad number of locations around the world." You actually have people to talk to if there is a problem. G-Tech is the only one that seems to make a real effort in that regard."
This support has been instrumental in helping Leitner to balance the freedom of digital cinematography with the more challenging aspects of digital archiving. Vendors toss around the term "partner" so much that it tends to make the word weak and ambiguous, but Leitner does see G-Technology as an important partner in his creative operations. His craft and imagination may drive his career forward, but the strength of his storage keeps him on a stable course.
G-Team members are leaders in their respective fields who use G-Technology products in their day-to-day work lives. G-Team members are compensated for their participation.
G‐Technology external hard drives serve as an element of an overall backup strategy. It is recommended that users keep two or more copies of their most important files backed up or stored on separate devices or online services.

Zone Map
By using the map above, you can find the zone in which you live, based on your average lowest winter temperature. By purchasing plants that are rated for your zone, you can be sure that you will be purchasing plants that are able to "winter over" and survive until next year.
Although these zones are useful as an indicator of a plant's likelihood for survival in a given area, many factors, including soil type and fertility, soil moisture and drainage, humidity, and exposure to sun and wind determine a plant's growth and success or failure in its enviroment.

Southern California's best beach towns
Here's a sampling of micro-itineraries for exploring some of Southern California's best beach towns.
Hear that? That dull roar, like the sound from inside a shell?
That might be the Southern California coastline calling you.
Orange County alone offers 42 miles of beach and beach towns of counterculture surfers, ritzy golf courses, $2.69 corn dogs and $600-a-night hotel rooms. Here's a look at few of the best:
San Clemente
Just about all of Southern California's sleepy little beach towns have been built up, priced up and, by many measures, messed up. But San Clemente's pier, beaches and red-tile roofs endure, and they're worth a look. The waves here offer some of North America's best surfing, including the spot known as Trestles (just south of town within San Onofre State Beach), which some people call "the Yosemite of surfing."
San Clemente is tucked in among hills and canyons — no tidy street grid here — and on the main drag, El Camino Real, many locals like Sonny's (an old favorite for pizza at 429 N. El Camino Real) and the Riders Club Cafe (a new favorite for burgers and other "slow fast food" at 1701 N. El Camino Real). But start with the town's almost 1,300-footlong San Clemente Pier that juts into the ocean.
At the Fisherman's Restaurant on the pier, the waves crash just below and the sunset washes over everyone on the patio. And you're bound to notice the Beachcomber Motel, a block south. With its pseudo-Spanish cottage style, its 12 rooms (all with kitchens) and its perch on a grassy knoll right by the train tracks and beach, the Beachcomber is what you'd dream about if you fell asleep reading a 1955 issue of Sunset magazine (although today's prices can top $375 on summer weekends).
At the nearby Casa Tropicana, you'll get more ore space and some jazzy furniture for a similar price.
Or go in the offseason, when lodging prices tumble. (Or head to one of the many chain motels).

Laguna Beach
If you're bound for beachy, artsy Laguna Beach, would you jump in the ocean first or start prowling galleries? If you choose No. 1, begin by taking the measure of Main Beach at Pacific Coast Highway and Broadway. Besides lots of bodysurfing, skim-boarding, volleyball on the sand and half-court hoops on two of the best-sited courts in California, it's a scene of romantic strolls and playing children, all at the foot of a blue and white lifeguard tower that dates to the '20s.
There are tide pools to wander at the northern end of the beach. Then you'll be ready to start plotting time at some of Laguna's 20 or so other beaches. Surfers like Thousand Steps Beach (between 9th and 10th streets); families like Picnic Beach (which neighbors grassy Heisler Park); scuba divers favor Boat Canyon Beach; and about 200 yards off Cleo Street Beach, there's an old shipwreck.
Beyond the sand, Laguna Beach has been an art colony for a century or so. Though rising prices have worn thin the town's hippie veneer, you'll find galleries and festivals all over, especially in summer. Check the smallish but smart Laguna Art Museum and maybe have a look at blankets and beadwork at Len Wood's Indian Territory, just a few steps away.
From here, you might need to drive a bit. Dozens of galleries, scattered north to south along Pacific Coast Highway, concentrate on classic California plein-air landscapes (the Redfern Gallery, 1540 S. Coast Highway, for instance), and there's plenty else too — Todd Kenyon's minimalist modern seascapes at the Pure Laguna Beach gallery (1590 S. Coast Highway), for instance, or the cool old movie and travel images at the Vintage Poster (1492 S. Coast Highway).
More than 40 galleries stay open for the First Thursdays Art Walk (on the first Thursday of every month). As for the art festivals, the weirdest (and one of the oldest) is the Pageant of the Masters, in which volunteers don costumes and makeup and strike poses to mimic old master paintings (July 7-Aug. 31 this summer). Other stalwarts include the summer-long Festival of Arts (July 1-Aug. 31) and Art-a-Fair (June 29-Sept. 2). So, where will you sleep in Laguna Beach? Maybe you'll land at La Casa del Camino (where surf designers have jazzed up 10 rooms in an otherwise old-school '20s building); maybe the Inn at Laguna Beach (a more contemporary building with 70 rooms just north of Main Beach); maybe Pacific Edge (an oceanfront Midcentury motor lodge now boldly decorated and run by the trendy Joie de Vivre chain); or maybe you'll spend a bit more for the 165-room Surf & Sand Resort, where management has wedged many amenities into a tall, crowded collection of buildings on a beachfront perch.

The Balboas
Some of the best fun and most difficult parking in Newport Beach is on Balboa Island and the Balboa Peninsula. They're connected by an old-school ferry that carries just three cars ($2 a car), which is fun, but otherwise you'll be happier traveling by foot, bike or watercraft. The highlight of moneyed and mostly residential Balboa Island — which is also connected to the mainland by bridge — is the commercial strip of Marine Avenue, where you can buy boutique clothes for yourself and your kids, maybe have lunch at Wilma's Patio (get the sourdough cheeseburger) and perhaps buy a frozen banana, although that will mean choosing between Sugar 'n' Spice ("the original frozen banana," 310 Marine Ave.) and Dad's Original Frozen Banana (318 Marine Ave.).
The Balboa Peninsula includes a lot: the Newport and Balboa piers, several small hotels, a bunch of restaurants, a 1.7-mile bike trail that connects the piers, watercraft rentals, harbor cruises, the historic Balboa Pavilion building and a neighboring Fun Zone with rides and games.(If you watched "The O.C." on television — 2003-07 — many of these spots will look familiar.)
At the peninsula's southern tip is the Wedge, a prime bodysurfing spot. Partake if you dare, then rent a bike ($8-$10 an hour), pedal pier to pier, and stop near the Newport Pier at Jane's Corndogs (106 McFadden Place). Maybe later you'll pony up for one of the fancy surf-and-turf dinners at 21 Oceanfront Restaurant (2100 W. Oceanfront). But for now, get in line behind those tourists from North Dakota, fork over your $2.69 and taste that savory corn-dog goodness.
Huntington Beach
If Laguna is the rich distant relation who might not remember you in his will, Huntington Beach is the wild cousin who owes you money. Its downtown is all about scruffy surf culture, and the Main Street bars and restaurants stay lively late, with the usual attendant troubles.
For a historical look at surf culture, spend a few minutes in the free International Surfing Museum (411 Olive Ave.). From the pier, you get a great view of surfers at play, and you may bump into Lucky John, a street performer whose act relies heavily on (spoiler alert!) a hammer, a long nail and his own nose.
For a healthy helping of surf style and commerce, browse Jack's Surfboards (since 1957; 101 Main St.) and its competitor across Main, Huntington Surf & Sport (300 Pacific Coast Highway), where many a casual fashion trend has been incubated. Then grab a rental bike and take to the 12-mile Ocean Strand path, which begins down south in Newport Beach and ends near the county line at Sunset Beach.
On your right as you head north, you'll see the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. To your left, you'll have Bolsa Chica State Beach, which has camping, fishing and, unlike many beaches these days, dozens of fire rings. Come back at sunset, pay the $15-a-car fee, and you can watch the flames dance, warm your sandy feet, roast marshmallows and howl like an unhinged extra on the set of "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini." Note, though, that booze is banned and you have to go home by 10 p.m. You can imagine how Huntington Beach party people feel about that.

Salam and Hi!
*Warning; Mommy related post ahead hehehehhh.
Oh wow.
I decided to fully breastfeed my baby simply because..
- I sort of implanted in my mind that I have no other choice!
Man, I do not wanna think about how expensive formulas are now..
- I personally feel that I should really try to breastfeed because it's my baby's right to have her milk from me.. and that I would personally feel guilty deep down if I don't do so..
- I wanted to have this kind of bond with my baby (or babies, I hope!;] )
My breastfeeding journey wasn't really an easy one, I'd say.
I had no idea what I was doing and no one told me how to do it, what to expect from it..nothing.
I just knew that it is best for my baby and that it would not be a problem to breastfeed cuz it will naturally produce once the baby is out.
Never once I thought that there would be PAINFUL times!
*She's probably 4/5 months old here
Right after I gave birth to Amani, she wasn't with me in the normal ward because she had to be admitted and be on antibiotics to prevent infections from the induced labor.
So I didn't get to directly nurse her on that day - only get to try the next day.
She was cup fed with formula by the nurses & I immediately tried nursing her the next day.
She latched on quite well, so I thought she was actually getting some milk out of me..
I thought wrong wahaha.
Amateur mommy, I was!*probably still is!;
I actually thought she was full and all from my milk -.-'
Little did I know that she was actually full from her cup feedings lah!
It was when I get to bring her home I finally knew that she wasn't latching on properly because of my inverted nipples. #tmi (ehems pardon me)
That's when the first pain started...
Because she wasn't latching on well, so it got engorged T.T
It was HORRIBLE.
So painful I didn't know what to do!!
I cried alone in my room scrolling my contacts frantically searching for my Mommy friends lol.
Whatsapped almost all the young mommies I know for help.
A friend suggested me to get a warm cloth to put over it ( breasts lol) and try to express the milk out
because if I were to let it be I would easily get a fever from it.
I tried putting on cabbage on it as well.
Those two advice really helped me a lot.
The first couple of weeks wasn't easy at all but at that time we also fed her with KariHome's Goat's formula milk cuz we needed to lower down her jaundice.
So it was alternate between formula feeds & mine.
So glad that I didn't give up after going through that and also super thankful because it was quite a smooth journey after that.
OMG I can't believe how small she was! Just the size of my palm! :O
But...the pain didn't stop there.
So far my worst breastfeeding experience!
Amani caught thrush few months back when we were travelling..
Oh my goodness, it was so so bad when she passed it on to me!
For those who are not familiar with thrush, it is something like ulcer but not as painful for the baby.
Google it if you are keen to know more..
thrush is worrying because if a baby is breastfeeding exclusively, baby might give it to their mothers because thrush transfers from their mouth to your bewbs.
Hmmm I really really wanna describe more, but I am not sure on how sensitive my readers are when it comes to me sharing my breastfeeding experiences..
So I guess by saying that it was totally a terrible experience would explain it all.
and again,
I thank God for giving me the patience!
It definitely wasn't easy.
So so glad that it's over!
Alhamdulillah, now it is all back to normal again. teeeheee.
She needs to be nursed whenever she wants to sleep or nap.
I am honestly okay with that cuz I believe that when the weaning day comes she will eventually stop on her own.
She still drinks at night few times as well, which is also not a big problem for me cuz she co-sleeps with us so I get to sleep even when she's nursing because now she knows how to unlatch on her own.
My breastfeeding journey so far is a wonderful and will definitely be a memorable one & I am typing this out for keepsake purposes because I have a memory of a goldfish.
errr not that I know how fish's memories are.. hehehehe.
You're the best, mommies!
It doesn't really matter whether you are a breastfeeding mommy or not..
It's not as easy as it seems and not everyone will have the privilege to do so.
Non breastfeeding moms are still awesome; Mothers are simply amazing.
Motherhood has changed me so much,
so I hope my dear readers will happily join me through my motherhood life.
I guess there will be lesser OOTDs and make up posts ..
Let's wait till Amani's a bit older so she could join me in my OOTDs!;)
I will treat my blog as one of my online diaries now, to keep the memories so Amani could read them when she's older!
Dearest readers,
Thank you for being with me all these while & I welcome you to another phase of my life!
I'll blog again soon!;)

Which is easier to predict: the winner of the NBA championship or the World Cup?
After the Los Angeles Lakers' victory Thursday (their 16th NBA title) over the Boston Celtics (17 NBA titles), you might be tempted to say the NBA.
True, the three teams with the most titles (Boston, L.A., and the Chicago Bulls) show up with amazing consistency. One of those teams has won the title 61 percent of the time going back to 1947.
But the World Cup is even more skewed. In 18 tournaments, one of three teams (Brazil, Italy, or Germany) has taken the title 67 percent of the time.
Why such dominance? All three soccer-mad nations produce excellent players through well-developed networks that bring promising young players in contact with expert coaches. They play against challenging competition. And the World Cup itself has no restrictions or rules that try to help weaker national teams at the expense of better ones.
More balance in America?
The NBA is supposed to be different. For decades, the teams with the worst records have had first picks in the NBA draft. The league also has a salary cap designed to keep richer teams from outspending poorer ones in the search for talented players.
But since the 1984-85 season, when the modern cap was instituted, the three top teams (L.A., Chicago, and the San Antonio Spurs) have been even more dominating than in earlier NBA history. One of them has won the championship 69 percent of the time.
Unlike soccer leagues in Europe, many US professional leagues adopt salary caps and other rules designed to make the competition more even. It's a concept known as competitive balance.
"That seems to matter to fans, though it's not clear to me how much it matters" to the leagues, says Allen Sanderson, a sports economist at the University of Chicago.
Take professional football. One of the three teams (the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, or San Francisco Forty-Niners) has won the Super Bowl 36 percent of the time. Since the league instituted a hard salary cap (with fewer loopholes than the NBA), has that percentage declined?
No, it's climbed to 44 percent.
Yankee clout
Baseball is equally unbalanced. One of three teams (the New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, or Oakland Athletics) has won 44 percent of all the World Series.
Baseball has resisted a salary cap and instituted instead a luxury tax on teams that spend more than a certain amount on players. Since it took effect only in 2003, it's too soon to judge its effect using this measure. But don't hold your breath.
"Some people say [Baseball Commissioner] Bud Selig's worst nightware is that the Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers would be in the World Series every year," says Mr. Sanderson. "I think his worst nightmare would be the Kansas City Royals and Cincinnati Reds in the World Series every year. Deep down, they need the major markets."
Is it just talent?
Of course, there are many ways to measure dominance. Using championships won by the top three teams makes it easy to draw comparisons among sports. One explanation for this unusual dominance is pure talent.
Maybe these teams have stumbled on a player or combination of players and coaches who find a way to win year after year.
If it is all due to talent, then individual sports like tennis should produce champions with equal dominance.
Indeed, the three top men's singles players in terms of Grand Slam titles (Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, and Roy Emerson), have won 21 percent of all the slam tournaments played since 1919. That's very good but lower than even US football. And even top tennis pros get a built-in advantage.
Tennis versus golf
Because of pro tennis's seeding system, top players don't face the toughest opponents until the latter rounds of a tournament, Sanderson points out. Pro golf is one of the few major sports where champions have to beat the entire field.
How well to the top golfers do?
The three top men's players in terms of wins at the majors (Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Walter Hagen) have won a combined 43 titles since 1914, when Mr. Hagen won his first major tournament. That's 13 percent of all the titles, which is impressive.
But it's nowhere near as dominating as the top teams have been in major league sports or the World Cup.
Maybe competitive balance isn't so important to sports leagues after all.

"As fine a hall as the Salzburg Festspiel Haus and better than the San Francisco Opera House . . ." Spoken by Heinrich Keilholz, an acoustical engineer from Hamburg, Germany, these words are in praise of John R. Emens College-Community Auditorium.
Ball State University's sixth president, John R. Emens (1945-1968), had a dream. He envisioned a "campus of the future" complete with an auditorium "large enough to house most college functions as well as major symphonies, Broadway productions, ballets, and other forms of entertainment for Muncie and east central Indiana audiences."
Planning for the auditorium began as early as 1947, but the U-shaped building was not actually built until 1961. The structure includes the Hargreeves Music Building, Arts and Communications Building, and the 410-seat University Theatre.
Emens' dream was finally realized on March 14-15, 1964, when the auditorium gave its first performances in the form of a "sneak preview," and then it was officially dedicated on Oct. 25 the same year.
In its first 25 years alone, more than 3.6 million people visited the then 3,581-seat auditorium to see 2,335 programs. The legendary acoustic, scalloped ceiling, and state-of-the-art sound capabilities of Emens Auditorium account for the attraction of many artists to performing in this facility.
Since the grand opening in 1964, many world renowned artists, individuals, musicians, and shows have graced the stage of Emens Auditorium. Legendary performances range from President Ford, David Letterman, Stevie Wonder, Louis Armstrong, Victor Borge, Magician David Copperfield, comedian Adam Sandler, musical Cats and Les Miserables, Red Skelton, B. B. King, The Temptations, Third Eye Blind, and the Dixie Chicks.

Just Don't do it
Douglas Wilson is pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, and author of many books, including Letter from a Christian Citizen (American Vision, 2007).
A Christian church has absolutely no business displaying a national flag in the sanctuary, at least not as it is commonly done. The church born at Pentecost was a reversal of Babel, not a doubling down on the fragmentation of Babel.
Our churches should not place any unnecessary barriers to the worship of visiting Koreans, Russians, or Portuguese. We already must deal with natural and providential barriers, such as differences in language. In Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile (Gal. 3:28). I wouldn't want to worship in a sanctuary with a Scythian flag up front (Col. 3:11), and the Golden Rule requires that we not do to the visiting Scythians what we didn't very much like when they did it to us.
The New Testament is all about this principle. Where customs interfere with transnational fellowship, those customs must give way (Acts 15:29).
Of course, I do want to note that this should be taken as a general principled stand, which is not the same as a perfectionistic one. I am not interested in applying any strictures to churches that are renting space in American Legion halls or in high school gyms, where a flag would already be displayed in the ordinary course of things. I am simply arguing that the flag up front should not be part of how the church as the church arranges things. When we in the church have a decision to make, we shouldn't decide in favor of displaying national flags.
If the church places an American flag in the front of the sanctuary, this becomes part of our sacred architecture, and therefore says something. It becomes a shaping influence. ...1

Title: MMT Hectochelle Spectral Variability of Active Late-type Stars in the Kepler Field (2012B)
Abstract: We have on-going \it Kepler photometric monitoring of over 300 active late-type (mid-A - K) stars as part of our Cycles 1/2/3 Guest Observer (GO) programs with the aim of studying starspot evolution, differential rotation, activity cycles, and flares. We propose to use the MMT Hectochelle multiobject spectrograph to observe over 160 of these stars to determine a range of basic physical properties for the stars, such as radial velocity variations due to binarity, chromospheric activity levels from Ca II H+K and H(alpha), projected rotational velocities for comparison to the rotational periods measured directly by \it Kepler, age/youth as indicated by Li I, and better effective temperature and luminosity estimates. In addition, to provide a superior sample for statistical studies another ~1,000 GKM dwarf stars showing either starspot modulation from the \it Kepler Team's data or from our deep XMM X-ray survey will be observed using the unassigned fibers in each field. These measurements require the 32,000 spectral resolution provided by Hectochelle, which is hard to obtain efficiently for 13-15th magnitude stars any other way.

SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp. plans Tuesday to officially launch its updated and renamed Internet search engine, the latest step in a massive effort to make headway against market leaders Yahoo Inc. and Google Inc.
Live Search had previously been available in test form and is the successor to MSN Search, Microsoft's current search engine. It ranks a distant third in U.S. popularity after Yahoo and Google, according to the most recent data from Nielsen/Net Ratings.
(MSNBC.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal News.)
The release also is part of the software company's push to offer a number of free, Web-based services under its new "Live" brand name. The approach has been aimed at helping the company establish a fresh, separate Internet brand for those services, but it also has confused some users more familiar with the company's traditional MSN Internet branding strategy.
"In general, I don't think a lot of consumers outside of computer enthusiasts ... are aware of Windows Live or know what it is," said Matt Rosoff, independent researcher with Directions on Microsoft.
Microsoft plans to use Live Search on its MSN portal, and it also planning to promote Live Search later this fall. But Rosoff said the company needs to do more — whether it's a massive marketing push or some sort of broader tie-in with other products — to tell uses what Live is, and persuade them to switch from Google and others.
"In the end, users need easy access to Microsoft's search engine," Rosoff said.
Among other changes, Live Search will include improved ways to refine a search engine query so a user can better differentiate whether they are searching, for, say, the jaguar animal, car or Apple Computer Inc. operating system, said Christopher Payne, corporate vice president for Microsoft's Live Search effort.
It also has improved how people can search for and view images, Payne said.
Microsoft on Tuesday also plans to officially launch Live Local Search in the United States and the United Kingdom. The search offering, which has long been available in test form, shows detailed photographic images of some parts of the country based on searches for addresses and places of interest.

History of Lyle's Practice
I got interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine when I took my first massage course offered through the American Judo & Jujitsu Federation. In a fit of sanity, I quit my research job and enrolled at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I graduated in 2003, passed the California State Acupuncture licensing exam and started my practice here in Davis. The bulk of my practice is helping people with stress reduction and recovery from injuries. Reasonable rates, student discounts available. Unfortunately, I do not deal directly with insurance companies or with the workman's compensation system, but I'm very willing to help you get reimbursement.
I perform acupuncture using only single-use, sterile, disposable needles. My belief is that there should be some sensation but there should not be so much sensation that the individual cannot relax. For that reason I keep a variety of needles on hand. For pain issues, I will often use electrostimulation in combination with the acupuncture to enhance the effect of the treatment. For some conditions, moxibustion or the burning of mugwort ("Artemisia vulgaris") can be very helpful, especially for "cold" conditions. For those individuals who are not comfortable with needles, other treatments like, Tui Na or Chinese Medical Massage, Danzan Ryu Seifukujitsu Institute Restorative Bodywork or cupping may be employed. I may also recommend certain foods that may help my patients get their health back in balance. If need be, I may also recommend herbal supplements. These may take the form of herb tea pills, freeze-dried powders or even raw herbs to be cooked into a tea.
I will be moving my office on 3/1/17 to Get Fit Davis on 2nd St. I will update this page closer to the move date. Hope to see you at the new location.

A grocery store, perhaps unlike any other in Columbus, is taking shape in a former Toys "R" Us off Morse Road.
A grocery store, perhaps unlike any other in Columbus, is taking shape in a former Toys "R" Us off Morse Road.
When Saraga International Grocery opens, it will carry food and produce from around the world -- or at least from five different continents.
The Sung brothers are serious when they put the word international in the title of their grocery empire.
The store at 1265 Morse Road, just east of Maize Road, will be the third Saraga International Grocery, and the first in Ohio.
Northland's population density, coupled with easy freeway access, are what attracted John Sung to the former toy store.
He and his brother, Bong, natives of South Korea, opened their first grocery in Bloomington, Ind., in a 5,000-square-foot building. They followed that in 2005 with a second Saraga International, this one in a 62,000-square-foot former Super Kmart in Indianapolis.
The word saraga means "life," "love" or even "let's go shopping."
In looking for a site for a third store, John Sung said last week he scouted a number of locations in central Ohio before finally settling on the Morse Road building, which is about 40,000 square feet, according to the Franklin County auditor's website.
"I like this area because there's a huge population and also very good access from a lot of areas," Sung said.
Columbus is in many ways similar to Indianapolis, he added.
"We like the Midwest," Sung said. "We grew up from this area, so we're very comfortable to come because we know the market and we know how to cater to this community."
Although Sung said he hopes to have the newest Saraga International Grocery open in time for Thanksgiving shopping ("Everybody's asking me that," he said), much remains to be accomplished before the renovations are complete. Shelves and refrigeration units were in place last week and workers were swarming about as they tackled various projects.
"There are a lot of things going on," Sung said.
He noted regulations relating to construction and inspection seem to be a bit harsher in Columbus than they were in Indianapolis.
"I'm not blaming the city," Sung said, "but it's more regulations. It takes more time because of that.
"It's pretty challenging, but we'll do it."
The size of the building was another reason Sung settled on the Morse Road location.
"We have a humongous variety to cover: Africa, Asia, North and South America and Europe," he said.
The growing diversity of Columbus as a whole and the Northland area in particular, with more immigrant and refugee populations settling in central Ohio, also played a part in attracting Saraga International to its newest venue.
"We see the potential because of that population," Sung said.
He added the store should employ around 70 people when it opens.

That was real decent of you to open your sealed copy. My copy is like, shit with shit on it. If I recorded it to the computer it would sound like some lost pre-war jazz session.

Hey Beezer,
Yeah, it was nice to have this sealed gem. You can hear that Marly mixed it pretty in your face. The vocals are harsh and sibilant, but that's the sound.

The echo/delay is crazy. I love some of the over the top effects on Hiphop tracks in 86/87. Before they knew how to use them properly. Like the echo on "You Gots to chill" WAY over the top, or the reverb on PSK. Hiphop production lost a little when they got engineers who fixed things.
I guess Patrick Adams and Elai Tubo were like "Sure Marley, do whatever the fuck you want, its your record" cos its not like they didn't know.

it's a hall of fame, it's awesome!!!!

A million blessings Zartek, I've often wondered when I would hear the original again (what's it been 21 years?) outside of old cassette recordings of AM radio in my collection

this is beyond awesome. Eric B and Rakim always liked to make it real hard to get the good versions of songs. I wanted my record to say "musta got you too hot and burnt off your wings..."
or what about the check the technique 12" didn't it have some really busted jazzy remix, which was fine, except I wanted the album version with instrumental.

Hi There, lovin' your blog. Would you like to add a link to mine? It's mostly tracks from my vinyl collection of 70's, 80's and early 90's classic dance stuff plus some DJ mixes I've done over the years.
Let me know what you think.

If you want the original version on CD, then look for the 1989 Various Artist CD called "Rapmasters, Vol. 4: Best of Hip Hop" on Priority Records. Here's a link - http://www.discogs.com/release/187251
It has the original 12" version of Eric B. is President on it. You're right about the Paid In Full version - it's cheesy.

Thank you!!! I have been looking for this version for a LONG, LONG time. I have it on a MasterMix tape somewhere, recorded from Kiss FM or WBLS from way way way back in the day, but bless you for putting the original version on the net!!
