It's an alltoocommon misconception that alkaline water is the key to perfect health in spite the fact that claims about the health benefits, or safety, of this water are not supported by much credible evidence.
It is important to note that 'de ionized', rain and many spring waters also have really similar properties that make them acidic. Clever marketers rely on personal testimonials and pseudo scientific studies to promote alkaline water as a powerful antioxidant that can prevent or reverse many degenerative diseases, including cancer and arthritis, boost energy levels and metabolism and slow the aging process. There is absolutely no scientific proof that any of these claims are true. They consider that drinking DRO water was harmful as it can be slightly acidic. In the war of the waters, alkaline water zealots not only shamelessly promote the excellencies of alkaline water but take shots at both distillation and reverse osmosis. The truth is the unique properties of mineral free, 'ultra pure' drinking waters actually make the pH measurement meaningless in the body.
It's necessary to have a basic explanation of pH, in order to better each one change unit in pH So there's a tenfold change in ion concentration. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with a pH of 7 being neutral. Anyways, buffers are substances that enable water to resist pH change when an acid or base is added. That's interesting. Any substance that lowers pH is an acid and any substance that raises it's a base.
Highly purified DRO water is neutral with a pH of Since there're virtually no dissolved solids in this water, look, there's nothing to influence the pH change in either the alkaline or acid direction or to act as buffers to resist change. Even a small quantity of carbon dioxide from the air will combine with DRO water to lower the pH to about For similar reason, just a speck of an alkalizing substance like baking soda will immediately raise the pH of a glass to over In contrast, it should require considerably more acid or base to change the pH of mineral water. So pH of DRO water is like a pendulum that can be moved easily with a feather compared to high mineral water that requires a mallet. That degree of purity makes DRO water extremely sensitive so adding the slightest quantity of acid or base will easily change the pH. The difference is the presence of buffers or dissolved solids making it resistant to change.
When you drink slightly acidic DRO water, it immediately combines with the slightly acidic digestive enzymes in saliva and seconds later with very acidic digestive enzymes and gastric juices in the stomach without affecting your pH in any way. The much stronger hydrochloric acid in the stomach with a pH of 1 is mostly about 100000 times more acidic than any slightly acidic DRO water with which it combines. Besides, the extremely sensitive DRO water pH immediately adjusts to your body rather than your body adjusting to the DRO water pH. That renders the pH of DRO water completely irrelevant.
According to Dr.
Bob Arnot, who is a 'well known' author and nutritionist, in a recent Men's Health Journal article, Say no to alkaline water, it's a scam. Your body is designed to adjust to its optimal pH balance every time you drink alkaline water to compensate for the dilution of gastric juices, since the stomach is designed to be acidic. Then, let's say, whenever alkaline water enters your stomach, your body simply pours in greater amounts of acid to neutralize it. Nonetheless, in a previously healthy gut, the constant ingestion of alkalized water can create an abnormal digestive condition. Even drinking alkalized water with meals can dilute the natural acidity of the digestive tract and interfere with digestion.
Maintaining normal stomach acidity is also necessary to protect against bacterial and viral infections. He said, The health claims for water ionizers and alkaline water are bogus. Altering this acid environment leaves you wide open to intestinal infections. With that said, the acidic environment destroys pathogenic organisms that might be ingested in both food and water. Consequently, save your money. Andrew Weil is eminently qualified to evaluate the health claims of alkaline water. Nevertheless, at least half of everyone extent of low stomach acid. This is where it starts getting intriguing. This condition can be compounded by the consumption of alkaline water. Nationally known author and nutritionist Dr, as a Harvard Medical School graduate.
Nutritionist and pure water advocate Dr.
We all love the idea of a quick fix. In spite of all the warnings, most people seek for the best health without the sacrifices needed to achieve it safely. Furthermore, while alkaline water is dehydrating, true Ott noted, Water that is rich in hydrogen measures 5 or 6 on the pH scale. Considering the above said. Thus, one should strive to consume the purest water possible, water rich in free hydrogen ions. It's a well in my experimentation and research, lots of us know that there is a direct correlation with water purity levels and hydrogen content. While selling useless products that may cause severe 'longterm' after effects, Savvy marketers prey on these consumers. And now here's a question. Why therefore are people often tricked into thinking that drinking water with high TDS contaminants just like ionized water was a wise and healthy thing to do? What better way to correct years of poor nutrition, zero exercise and chronic dehydration than by simply drinking alkaline water, this is the case right? Fact, science and logic scream otherwise. Although, using nothing more than sales fiction, they have beguiled trusting consumers and created a thriving market for expensive alkalizing gizmos known as ionizers.
Possibly dangerous, these popular ionizers. Are not only medically baseless and worthless. Four Japanese studies been published in peer journals and independently verified showing that alkaline water caused pathological changes in heart cell muscles and increased the risk of heart attack in laboratory animals. You see, journal of Biological Chemistry found that alkalosis causes alkalineinduced cell death because of altering mitochondrial function. Normal cells die under extremely alkaline conditions. These results raise very serious doubts about the safety of alkaline water.
The best way to optimize your pH is to eat a healthy diet full of minerals and vitamins. Oftentimes whenever practicing deep breathing and drinking a slew of pure hydrating water will enable your body to more easily remove toxins and acid metabolic wastes, Eating more fruits and vegetables. There are, however, some simple things you can do to maintain a naturally healthy pH. The claims about the advantages of drinking alkaline are made without supporting evidence. The variety of pH values needed throughout the body is exquisitely balanced, primarily through a complex system of buffering and breathing. Eating refined foods like almost white flour, sugar and salt promote acidity.
Let me tell you something. David Brownstein, author, international lecturer and foremost practitioner of holistic medicine, said, To be honest I disagree with the claims made about alkaline water.
Other factors, similar to lack of exercise, emotional stress, medication, coffee, alcohol and smoking, can adversely affect the internal pH of your body over an extended time period. It is my sincere hope that this combination of scientific studies, expert advice and common horse sense settles the pH debate so we can all freely enjoy the pure, oxygenrich elixir of life without any pH paranoia. Of course thus, improved health ain't a quick fix but a slow, cumulative process consisting of numerous lifestyle choices.
Water Quality Association 26 years is against the process of water ionozation while one ionizer brand has received 4 Gold Seals from identical institue for the approval of the quality of the dinking water.
Jimmi hendrix, They have not received Gold Seals as some sort of award. Have a close look at exactly what the Gold Seal tests involve. They lined up with quite a bit of the industry and paid for them.
Yes it does.
There arn't mentioned many, that makes it difficult and more of an opinion than a substantiated scientific review. The question remains which interests are at stake, am I correct? This my be one sensible thing to do and check the author's current opinion, to verify and examin these recources. Walking in the rain is potentially dangerous that in my opinion is identical to stating that drowning is dangerous. While drinking alkaline water potentially raises doubt, He only states that since alkalosis is dangerous. The few times he does refer to any literature he refers to an article in Men's Health Magazine and to a study in the journal of Biological Chemistry which investigates the metabolic alkalosis disease, not relevant and not something you can get from drinking alkaline water. It makes the claims he stated while he was professional at the WQA questionable as well as it makes the current clames less believable. The author also doesn't makes this link or describes any causality found. You should take this seriously. At least his way of researching is, when his varying opinion under circumstances isn't something that makes his claims less valid.
His description of how a stomach handles alkaline water is being open to interpretation. Himalayan ' sea salt and the pain in my kidneys and feet went away. Not sure if it's helpful. Who's to know, It's a scam and probably this stuff has arsenic or strychnine in there somewhere. Then again, you think that doing away with that and maybe even using some ACV must all know what process that is. There were no ionisers consequently. The first world war generations were the first to benefit from improved sanitation and living standards and clean drinking water and longevity was the end result and generally better health. The results are if you work against it's illness and disease. Notice, before technology and clever marketeers you have to ask yourself how did nature purify water that is safe to drink and still does now. They let nature do it's job. Eventually, all you should do is in general. Now please pay attention. Although your wallet must be a lot lighter. That's right! Bottom line, I was drinking acidic water my entire life. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Don't tell me that it doesn't matter what I eat or drink, that my body will still adjust it's ph accordingly. That said, you could replace the alkaline water with bull semen and you'd feel just as good if you believed it will work.
DO NOT drink alkaline water.
You my be amazed at the results. Your water companies are not telling the truth big time. You are not up to date, look at the lab tests of your local water companies, so take two quart samples and have an independent lab test very similar water. I'm sure it sounds familiar. You should not believe as an example how much arsenic is in your water home supply. The generations before ionsers lived healthier and better than today. And, all the talk about doing what your grand parents did is BS, Times have changed.
I know it's pointless to be overconscious on whether you drink acidic or alkaline water bcoz your stomach will do the adjustment to neutralize it, to summarise what the article says. The article simply promotes drinking just pure water, only H2O and no other additives. Saves your money I am the founder of AlkaWay, specialists in alkaline and hydrogen rich water, established in 2000. Better to read it over again. That's it.
Now this one falls way below the line, over the years I was almost any impressed by most articles on the WQA site and in the magazine.
That being said, most of us are aware that there is still a great deal of misunderstanding about what electrolysis actually does to water that made the market to flourish with very little relationship to traditional water filter industry players. It is another regurgitation of unproven 'facts' and isolated quotes, written with an obvious corporate selfinterest.
That a bunch of the water ionizer vendors are also behind the times, it may be said that not only is the author out of date with his arguments. From the H2 infused into the water by the process, in the last two years it was finally realised that the positive health effects of ionized water came not from the high pH of the electrolysed water. It is amazing but true that even Enagic, the largest vendor of water ionizers did not realise this.
It has become evident recently that the production of H2 was never in the design brief of the companies that made these units.
This had been shown by the fact that most units require very regular and water wasting cleaning regimes to keep up the H2 output. Despite the fact that pH and ORP remain high, accretion on the electrolysis plates causes a rapid reduction of H2 infusion. There are also now systems that produce infused H2 water without electricity, and systems that produce infused H2 without a change in pH using a really new technology known as PEM.
With one doctor's report and some Japanese studies from at least 15 years ago when water ionizers used stainless steel electrodes -an obvious health risk, the 'elephant in the room' of the author's article is the assertion that this water should be deleterious to health. In the absence are no more studies since the quoted one but it still gets trotted out as proof of the danger of ionized water.
I should be prepared to support my own claim that H2 rich water should be top-notch thing to happen in water technology since RO, I'd say in case I am to refute the claims made by the author.
There are now had been set up as a nonprofit with the sole aim of disseminating information to the public and to people like industry members so they can access the benefits and the opportunities of H2 Water. Remember, for anyone interested I would suggest a visit to the Molecular hydrogen Foundation's website. Luckily for me it's relativelypretty simple.
MLM vendors. Imagine a device that attaches to a domestic RO and creates beneficial hydrogen rich water. Simple, and without competition in the market.
None of those studies were undertaken on healthy people to see the effect alkaline has on the body.
In which case acidic water is better for you. There are studies of healthy people there. So if hydrogen is beneficial to the body surely you seek for more of it. Also, we always look for more of many things that aren't necessarily beneficial. You can find more information about it on this website. Tyler Lebaron. Just think for a moment. If hydrogen is beneficial to the body surely you seek for more of it. If anything that website contradicts your arguments. Basically, not even sure what you are talking about here. One on rheumatoid arthritis. Where's your control group? You didn't look in general the studies. Sorry. Actually, we've got 3 new studies as well.
Nutritionist and pure water advocate Dr. While alkaline water is dehydrating, true Ott noted, Water that is rich in hydrogen measures 5 or 6 on the pH scale. As a result, please reconcile how drinking alkaline water has no benefit long time but coffee can affect the internal pH of your body over an extended timespan as stated at the end. Essentially, science and logic scream otherwise. Known that last statement did not help, honestly I'm seeking evidence to support my belief we can't materially alter our acid base homeostasis. Seriously. Thus, one must strive to consume the purest water possible, water rich in free hydrogen ions. Why therefore are people often tricked into thinking that drinking water with high TDS contaminants similar to ionized water is a wise and healthy thing to do? This is the case. In my experimentation and research, there's a direct correlation with water purity levels and hydrogen content.
Regarding materially altering our acid base homeostasis.
It will seem to me that our body's ability to achieve balance is limited by the quantity of alkaline buffer minerals available in the body, I'd say in case we live a 'acid lifestyle'. My take, right?
If indeed we are eating and drinking more acidic or acid forming foods after that, it naturally follows that our alkaline buffer now is reduced. My conclusion is that a ready ongoing supply of alkalis will disagree with your post. Yes a slew of quackery still exists in all forms of medicine and much of what you assume to be science. So, holistic medicine is medicine on the basis of how the different parts of the body respond. Both my wife's aunts was cancer free for decades without radiation or chemotherapy -just that holistic medicine that you assume is quackery. Both my parents died on chemotherapy, my friends and relatives It's an interesting fact that the ju jubes which I was addicted to.
Holistic medicine is science if you apply rationale in any such discourse.
Medical research studies by science, unless you meant. Quiting it all. It is only part of the what we credit as science Hey us ultra guys do the inducing! Maybe the coffee. Did you know that the ju jubes which I was addicted to.

Nothing remains the same - thank goodness!
Several years ago I sat across a table from a New York agent pitching my fantasy. She read a sample of 'BEYOND THE LAST TREE' and told me that I had a wonderful lyrical style, great writing, etc., but...and there it was, that HUGE unwelcome word all writers and artists dread, 'BUT...(and this is a paraphrase) I can't pigeon hole your writing, so I don't feel I can represent it.' You see, in the wonderful world of publishing as it was, agents and the houses they worked for needed to be able to put your book on the shelf - literally - so it had to fit into a known genre. An author was represented for 'fantasy' or 'science fiction' or 'romance' or 'mystery'. No one knew what to do with a piece like BLT that is fantasy with a science fiction angle, plus a healthy dash of romance and a LOT of mystery. Fortunately, due to the New Jacksonian era (as I think of it), that is the 21st century 'empowerment of the people' happening now due to the internet and social media, none of those rules apply anymore.
I am an artist. As an artist I create a piece, put it out there and let the public decide whether they like it or not. No one would think of telling me my subject's eyes should have been blue, or I should have put them to the right of the frame instead of the left, or that I made their dress the wrong color. People look at art and it is what it is. End of story. To me, a book is the same. My novels and short stories are my written 'pieces of art' and I don't need an agent or an editor or anyone else to pick, prod, cut, change, and rearrange my tales before the public sees them. Ten years ago the words 'independently published' were a death knell for a writer. It meant to the casual observer (for some odd reason, since 'indie' movies win the Academy Award at times) that you must not be able to write or one of the big houses would have published you. That doesn't hold water anymore. The age of POD and internet publishing for Nook, Kindle, etc. has made it possible for stubborn, independent artists like me to have you read what I wrote, as I wrote it, and as I wanted it to be read.
It's simple. I write. I publish. You read if you want. And if you don't, you ignore it.
How democratic is that?

OW: the agony and the ecstasy of Organic Writing
Map of Naladia
As a writer I often get asked about 'how' I write. Well, first of all I am an organic writer.
For those of you who do not know what that is, my friend Beth Daniels (www.romanceandmystery.com) calls those of us who indulge in it 'pantsers' - as in 'fly by the seat of. Organic writing begins and flows without an outline, and allows the characters to dictate where the tale is going as it unfolds. I also happen to write in continuity, though I know many other OWs (Gotta love that. 'O'rganic 'W'riters have many moments when we go 'Ow!' - especially about two-thirds of the way through when all of the plot threads collide, or should I say, 'crash'?) I have done this since I started writing twenty-seven years ago. The first thing I wrote (outside of high school and college) was Beyond the Last Tree. Really. I think I have Tolkien beat on how long it took to produce a book and get it in the hands of readers. The story of BLT (my friends call it that with a smug look and a few rude remarks about tomatoes - which I dislike, by the way - tomatoes, not my friends) and how it has become what it is today is a long and winding one that started with this woman very pregnant and sitting in front of a typewriter. You read that right, a TYPEWRITER, and not even an electric one. For those of you under thirty-five, this was a device akin to using stone knives and bearskins to write and you got to waste lots and lots of paper and ink. Look it up.
I can't remember the genesis of BLT, as in 'the first spark'. It was started as - get this - a fantasy for kids aged 12 - 16. (Of course, you haven't read it yet so you don't get the 'get this', but you will!) The novel opened with a lovely, long-winded description of the fictional reality of the world of Naladia and continued on in Tolkien-esque prose for quite a few pages. Which was great for 1984. Fast forward to 2012. No more typewriters, remember? (Did you look it up?) After 25 plus years of TV, cable, video games, PCs and now I-pads, pods, poms and pekes as well as Kindle, Nook, Twitter, Facebook, instantaneous communication, and movies that play like Role Playing Games on speed, well, the pace of the novel was a wee bit slow. (Or so my writer friend, Beth, told me. I didn't hit her, I just nicknamed her 'Beth the Brutal'.)
Anyhow, I digress - which is what an OW is good at. So expect it. <G> All of this is to say that BLT has been tweaked into what it now is over a long period of time. So it's GOT to be great, eh? The really aggravating thing about it is that I already had the next 5 or so books written and I had to get this DANG one out first and I had to like it before I put it out, and you know what - NOW I DO! I am really excited to be on the threshold of showing the 'baby' off. I hope you like it as well. There are some fantasy elements that are common to all fantasies in it, and a few twists (something else I am known for) to the old patterns that are not. Some day I will blog about why I made those choices. Let me just say that Robert Howard had a lot to do with them. (I didn't like Conan. I liked Fafhrd and Mouser.)
BLT went from a kids book to an epic series for adults because my characters demanded it. They took me by the hand and introduced me to the Ascendants, to the First and SecondBorn, to Solid Souls, and the lands of the Greater and Lesser Forest, and they taught me that the gods are always watching.
And most of the time, looking out for themselves.
Keep checking back and I PROMISE I will continue to ramble on. BLT is on the way! Watch for a date soon when it will be available in print, and on Kindle and Nook.

Although some good deals can be had there. I can never find anything there because there really isn't many small sized things for me. And sometimes small seems to be too large for me. We found a sweater from Abercrombie & Fitch so I figure Winners gets their things from the US where people there are larger.
Now there's the places where I just know I won't find many good stuff:
Battery Plus reminds me of Radio Shack. They both do not have reasonably priced things.

So I am more than a little behind, but here is my second book blogging challenge taken care of.
My reading ritual is less a case of bedtime reading and more a case of evening reading. I draw myself a boiling hot bath, lock myself in the bathroom with the two cats for company and then lie and soak for no less than half an hour with a book.
When the book is really good, I tend to top up the bath regularly to keep it nice and warm so that I can read a little longer. When it's not so great, the half hour is enough time to spend on it.
My cats love it! They hop onto the corner of the tub one at a time and drink from the water or lick the droplets off my shoulder. Either that, or they end up curling up on my waiting pyjamas and have a snooze while they wait for me to get out.
So what is your bedtime ritual?

BRAND: Wholesome View
SLOGAN: Always Pushing Forward
Wholesome View isn't just a bunch of images on t-shirts and computer screens. It's an ideology that if you keep your head straight and your attitude right, you'll always push forward.
"Always Pushing Forward" is meant to be a positive message. It means that no matter the setbacks, problems, headaches or heartaches. You will always come out on the other side unscathed and ready to move forward.
We started off with a simple tee and a hooded sweatshirt. The t-shirt design was supposed to introduce the brand with an all encompassing design that displayed our name. The hooded sweatshirt features our abbreviated logo to introduce that as a staple for the upcoming releases.
Peaking interest with family and friends, we decided to release two more items. Another t-shirt and a crewneck. For the crewneck we wanted to do something a little different than just a graphic on the front. We thought it would be different to print on the bottom of the left sleeve, right where a watch would sit. We put the words "Always Pushing Forward" to introduce our slogan, with which we believe very strongly in.
Learning more and growing more not only as individuals but designers and creatives we decided on our next release. Having an incredibly hot summer we wanted to put the fun back into sweating! We released a t-shirt and a tank top.
This is the extent of our release catalog. We have many plans and aspirations to take this brand to new heights with different products. We will be posting ideas and images for more feedback from the community.
These next images are concepts that we have and are thinking about using in the future. The first one being a play on British Propaganda from old war time.
The next image shows a few patterns and looks we like. We have camo, chevron and a flower print pattern. We'd like to incorporate one of these into our upcoming products.
Along with patterns, we experimented with different types screen printing inks. What we came up with is something that I am eager to incorporate into future designs.
To promote the brand we made a few items to accompany our products.
The pins and wooden keychains were received really well. We will most definitely be making more!

I have already been a smoker of smoking cigarettes for sixty-two years. I actually give up smoking cigarettes by using the Green Machine electric cigarette. I was very skeptical when I purchased it, because I would not accept anyone telling me personally that I could stop cigarettes.
The Green Equipment is an electronic cigarette that uses injections of a formula that makes you believe that you're smoking. The vapors that you inhale are flavored vapor. A smoker enjoys the smoke from a cigarette and without the similarity of smoke there is no satisfaction. The heavy steam is there when you exhale and provides considerable satisfaction
What about the kick, you ask?
You can purchase several flavours for the Green Equipment. Tobacco, blueberry, mint, menthol, and many more tastes are available and can be obtained with pure nicotine in the formula, or without it. I began with the tobacco flavour with nicotine, because I actually was skeptical of the smoker's satisfaction. I was now smoking the blueberry flavor, with nicotine, and I am very pleased with the smokers "kick". It would appear that the only thing lacking is the tars, but that's not detectable.
Precisely the difference between cigs and the Green Equipment?
Cigarette smokers inhale tars from the tobacco that cause blockages in the blood stream. I stop smoking tobacco because I actually had a heart harm. The key artery in my heart became blocked and could not pump the blood for recirculation. I had formed to have surgery to unblock the artery, and I spent five times in intensive care so they could get my heart to again overcome in a rhythmic mesure.
The Green Machine does indeed not produce tars and when consulting my cardiologist I received approval for use. The pleasure can there be and the danger is minimal, in comparison to cigarettes.
I never thought I'd be able to quit cigarettes until We tried the Green Equipment. There are several other electronic cigarettes on the marketplace, but the Green Equipment is the one My spouse and i use, and functions. 3 months ago I would have given anyone a stiff argument about the dangers of tobacco use. I had all the answers to all the anti-smokers' arguments. Now I actually know I used to be dead incorrect. No, I'm not deceased, but I could have been because I was too stubborn to hear.
Personal experience.

In terms of quitting smoking everyone panics and can't decide which smoking alternative/cessation to choose, as a result of side effects. The safest option and natural options are the electric cigarette. Are there any side effects to the e-cigarette?
Most people would say no side results what so ever. Nevertheless , I have to somewhat disagree. If you are trying a new product 90% of the time there is always some kind of concern. Here's what We found out after using the electronic cigarette for 2 weeks straight now.
Dry up Mouth
From day one of using the digital cigarette I indeed experienced dry mouth. I never had dry mouth before, because I usually drink everywhere from 60-100 ounces of water a day vigilantly. After I took the first 10 puffs My spouse and i noticed my mouth sense like cotton.
From that point on I upped my water to see if the dryness was actually coming from the e-cigarette. I puffed again a few times, and the cotton mouth came back. However, the dry jaws was not going to scare me away, because I AM SMOKE COST-FREE for 2 weeks, and this side effect is nothing.
Slight Headache
The initial few days of using the e-vape My spouse and i had a slight headaches. I recently came across my head injure more once i inhaled too much at any given time. The substances in the e-cigarette are propylene glycol, glycerin filtered water, nicotine, terpineol, methylfurfural, and vanilla extract.
Even so after the two week mark I noticed the headache was gone. Could be every other day approximately I would get an extremely slight one but nothing to really make a complaint about.
Loss Of Cravings
This side effect could be perfect for many. That they say when you give up smoking you can gain weight. In my opinion if your a food person is actually all in the mind and you will go right to food. However, with the e-cigarette I seen I really haven't recently been hungry at all. The more I puff on it, the more I actually lost my appetite. This may definitely vary everyone is different and may react different.
Although I experienced some effects I am still smoke free. This was totally worth it. Merely ensure you drink plenty of fluids to keep your body intact.

Hey lovelies! I have a bonus post for you today! :D
As I mentioned in my last post, I have a (small) breakout on my forehead. It's not too terrible as these things go, but I decided to add an extra step in my morning routine today to help facilitate healing a bit. I also had very puffy under-eyes today, so I decided that hydrogel was just the shit I needed to help my skin :P
I bought this mask set from Bisou Beauty Bar a few weeks before I left. I used one of the Skinfood Tea Tree and Lavender Spot Patch patches (which comes in a set of two patches per package) before I left a few weeks ago and I was impressed with it. In the package, there is a reclosable hard plastic case that keeps the hydrogel moist and the patches from getting out of shape/torn. Each piece comes with a plastic back. It looks like it's meant for a cheek, but says you can use it anywhere. It fit the area on my forehead perfectly so although I look like a weirdo, it did the trick!
Even before my AB experimenting, I've used tea tree and lavender to melt away the occasional pimples I'd get. I have a 30ml bottle of a 50/50 blend that has lasted me forever. I even used it to heal my navel piercing of an infection! This stuff is truth. Both essential oils are known for their antimicrobial properties, with the added bonus of the lavender being skin soothing and anti-inflammatory.
So how does the patch hold up? Awesomely. I kept it on for about a half hour, and it was noticeably thinner. My forehead was plump and the smaller pimples way less visible. After I finished my routine, my skin looked so much smoother than yesterday! Between this and the Benton mask, my forehead is a lot happier now :D
The Koelf Ruby Bulgarian Rose eye patches were bought on eBay. I paid $15 for a container of 60 patches. I've only used these a few times since I got them. I keep the container (pink!!) in the fridge. Every time I use them, I always wonder why I don't use them more often: they soothe my puffiness and help prevent dark circles before they start settling in! They're awesome after a
I cannot say enough good things about these hydrogel eye patches. There are two more varieties: gold and caviar. I would buy them just based on the experience I had with the rose ones, though (with my everlasting love of anything rose/pink/glittery...seriously, these patches are gorgeous) these rose patches will forever be a re-buy. Go buy some! They're amazing I say! :D
So now you know my tired eye trick. And my forehead 911 repair :)
Until next time,

British Canoeing Kit Launch 2017
It's almost as if the weather Gods knew that the team at PQK HQ had worked their fingers to the bone getting the latest batch of team gear made in record time…
Sunshine, clear skies and soaring temperatures greeted Pete and Paul on their trip down to Lee Valley – perfect conditions to hand out some extremely smart looking Racer STs before the team headed off to the European Canoe Slalom Championship in Tacen, Slovenia. It's not often a planned photoshoot can be done in short sleeved garments (especially in the UK); as you can see from the pictures, the guys and girls were revelling in the amazing weather conditionsThe team for 2017 is a mixture of familiar faces with some young talent. David Florence (C1) and Fiona Pennie (K1) take up the mantles of 'veterans' of the squad whilst reigning Olympic Champion Joe Clarke keeps his K1 position. Mallory Franklin and Kim Woods continue to show off their skills in two categories (K1 & C1) whilst Eilidh Gibson also maintains her C1 team status. David's team mates for 2017 in the C1 category are Ryan Wesley and Adam Burgess whilst Bradley Forbes-Cryans has established himself as a senior team regular again with 2017 spot in K1. The youngest member of the team and making his debut for 2017 Senior team in K1 is Chris Bowers.At a team meeting after the morning's paddling session Chris was presented with a special congratulatory prize from British Canoeing Head Coach, Mark Ratcliffe, and Peak UK's Director, Pete Astles, for his amazing achievement. Chris is certainly someone to keep an eye out for this year at the Snr European Champs, World Cups and World Championships, after his demonstration of superb paddling under pressure at the team selection series earlier in the year.
We'd like to wish the whole 2017 team all the best for the up coming season!

How to keep Ferrite Segment Magnet magnetic long
The Ferrite Segment Magnet is also called a magnet, which is an object that is surrounded by material and has a magnetic field. Artificial Ferrite Segment Magnets are usually made of metal alloys and are strongly magnetic. Ferromagnetism refers to the magnetic state of a material with spontaneous magnetization. Some material materials are magnetized in the presence of external magnetic fields, and even when the external magnetic field disappears, they can remain magnetized and magnetic, which is the spontaneous magnetization. All permanent Ferrite Segment Magnets have Ferrite Segment Magnets or Ferrite Segment Magnets.
Ferrite Segment Magnets are man-made magnets made of steel or some alloys and are magnetized. If properly preserved, they can remain magnetic for long periods of time. To remind you not to reduce the magnetism of Ferrite Segment Magnets, you should pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Ferrite Segment Magnet must not be placed in the vicinity of strong current;
2. Ferrite Segment Magnets cannot be baked on fire and heated;
3. Ferrite Segment Magnets cannot be knocked and vibrated violently;
4. Small Ferrite Segment Magnets cannot be put together with large Ferrite Segment Magnets;
5. Hoofed Ferrite Segment Magnets should also be added to the poles with a piece of soft iron to connect the poles together and invert the South Pole of adjacent Ferrite Segment Magnets.
As a special product, Ferrite Segment Magnets are transported. What should they pay attention to? This powerful Ferrite Segment Magnet manufacturer to explain to you.
Ferrite Segment Magnets transport mainly attention to the problem of two kinds, one is how to protect the Ferrite Segment Magnets, the other is how to prevent Ferrite Segment Magnet magnetic field produced by the damage to the surrounding environment and people. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the environment of Ferrite Segment Magnets in the transportation process is dry. If the humidity is high, it can lead to corrosion of Ferrite Segment Magnets. It is also possible to apply some anti-rust oil on the surface of the Ferrite Segment Magnet to prevent the rust of Ferrite Segment Magnets. For the Ferrite Segment Magnets with electroplating layer, vacuum transport should be adopted to prevent corrosion of electroplating.
In addition, the temperature of transportation must not be too high, the Ferrite Segment Magnet generally exceeds 80 degrees will appear the problem of demagnetization, so, during transportation, try to keep at room temperature level. Secondly, in order to prevent the collision between the Ferrite Segment Magnets in the transportation process, it is best to isolate the Ferrite Segment Magnet from the magnet. In the process of transportation, it is necessary to prevent the violent collision, in the process of handling, the operators should also try to be light.
Next, it is to solve the environmental impact of Ferrite Segment Magnetic field. First, try not to transport Ferrite Segment Magnets, computers, watches, and other things that are sensitive to magnetic fields. To the problem of how to shield the magnetic field of the simplest method is to Ferrite Segment Magnets with tin good outside, or with carbon steel can, then the Ferrite Segment Magnet magnetic arrayed, make its internal form a good magnetic circuit. When choosing the means of transport, maglev train and air is right choice, however, the price will be higher, and, if for air, so, the shielding of the magnetic field work will be tougher.

Alpha Max Review - Does It Really Work And Effective?
Many men use this product because it is proven effective. Alpha Max is the world measure for activating the production of free testosterone naturally and with lasting results. Testosterone is the # 1 Most Important hormone in the male body for general health. The National Institute of Health (NIH) concludes the average man loses 90% of his testosterone from age 25 to age 70.
Alpha Max Review - Does It Have Any Side Effects?
Alpha Max Review - All Natural Ingredients That Work!
Tongkat Ali Extract is a natural testosterone booster that works in several ways to safely increase your body's natural production of testosterone. It contains the effective ingredient Eurycoma Longifolia, which works by stimulating natural testosterone production while also blocking the negative feedback cycle that occurs when your testosterone level reaches its natural peak. This allows your body to produce testosterone at a steadily increasing rate well above your natural level. This steady increase of free testosterone in the body has been clinically proven to increase strength, increase muscle mass, reduce body fat and increase sex drive.
Epimedium is a genus of plants that are commonly known as Horny Goat Weed. This herb has a history of traditional use for joints, liver, back and knees. According to one herbal author, Epimedium has testosterone-like effects. It supports healthy sexual activity in both men and women. Research has shown that Epimedium significantly increases testosterone in mice. This certainly appears to be the herb's mechanism of action. In addition, research has shown that Epimedium has anti-fatigue effects and helps prevents adrenal exhaustion.
Saw palmetto is a popular herb among men because preliminary research has found it beneficial for prostate health. Preliminary research has also found that saw palmetto hinders the conversion process of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone by more than 40 percent. These findings suggest saw palmetto may have anti-androgenic activity, which means this herb can possibly effect male sex hormones, or androgens. This suggests that saw palmetto may increase testosterone levels by inhibiting up-conversion to dihydrotestosterone.
Nettle Root extract helps to suppress estrogen levels in men which can lead to BPH and lower testosterone levels. It inhibits the production of an enzyme called aromatase which in turn decreases the production of estrogen.
Has Alpha Max Been Tested In Research Studies?

Hughes tells the story of the Australian convict system from the first planning to the end of transportation nearly a century later. He alternates between official records and the individual experiences recorded in letters, memoirs and case notes. The result is a vivid portrayal of colonial life. If you haven't read it, please do! Let me just give you a little taste of its riches.
Although Hughes doesn't ignore the tragedy of Aboriginal Australia during these years, this is very much a British story. Britain in the late 18th and early 19th century was a troubled society. The Industrial Revolution had led to rapid urbanisation, while economic downturns and the Napoleonic Wars led to huge rates of poverty and destitution. Crime was the inevitable result.
However, the British ruling class did not make the obvious connection between poverty and crime. Instead, they saw crime as very much an individual problem. Criminals were morally defective, and Britain's poor communities were infested by a 'criminal class' who needed to be dealt with firmly. Harsh punishment, including execution and exile, was necessary both to remove the criminals from society and deter others from taking the same path.
The working classes did not necessarily agree. The list of capital crimes was long - you could be hanged for crimes that included forgery, petty theft, cutting down an ornamental shrub, appearing on a high road with a blacked face or impersonating a gypsy. Hence hanging, seen as a firm deterrent by the rulers, was a subject of wry humour and pathos in folk culture. English slang was full of euphemisms for hanging, folk songs featured brave men and women going to their deaths at Tyburn, and the hangings themselves, a popular form of entertainment, were often occasions for the condemned to perform for the crowd and thumb their noses at the law.
In practice, more than half of those sentenced to hang never made it to the gallows. Instead, their crimes would be commuted to long periods of imprisonment. Britain's jails were full to bursting. Many prisoners were confined for years on rotting ships in terrible, squalid conditions, becoming more and more crowded as prisoners kept pouring in but none left.
Transportation provided a safety valve for this overloaded system. At first prisoners were sent to North America, but the revolution there sent Britain scurrying for an alternative. Sydney ended up as the winner, for reasons that are somewhat confusing. There was much official discussion about securing a base in the Pacific to protect Britain's access to sea lanes, but Sydney was useless for that purpose. It seems that they simply chose to send convicts to a place guaranteed to be isolated and inhospitable.
In the beginning New South Wales certainly worked as a place of terror. If prisoners survived the voyage (far from guaranteed) they would arrive ill and dispirited to a tiny community where food often ran short, punishments were brutal and the only chance of escape was to run off and starve in the bush. Yet by the 1820s things were not always so terrible - the voyage was still risky, although far less so, and the initial imprisonment and work on the chain gang still harsh, but there was also a growing agricultural industry fuelled by free settlers, and the towns were starting to become hubs of commerce.
There was a huge demand for labour and convicts were assigned to free settlers as unpaid labourers. A cruel master could be worse than prison, but if you got lucky you could have a decent life. Then once you had your ticket of leave wages were high, especially if you were literate or had a trade. For many of the English and Irish urban poor who had been exported from the slums this was paradise. Reports from released prisoners worried the colonial authorities who saw their deterrent slipping away. New terror needed to be injected into the system before poor urbanites started to commit crimes just to get free passage to this land of milk and honey. So new colonies were created. There was Part Macquarie, Moreton Bay (now my home town of Brisbane) but the most terrible of all was Norfolk Island.
This little dot of earth in the Pacific, 1000 km from Australia's east coast, is not a terrible place in itself. Captain Cook sailed past it without going ashore and painted it as a naval gold mine, with tall straight pine trees that would serve as ship's masts and naturally growing flax for sail-making. It was the next place to be settled after Sydney, but like so many other glowing reports Cook's assessment turned out to be an illusion. The timber of the Norfolk Island Pine is too brittle for ship-building and flax requires skilled weavers. To complete the disappointment the island turned out to be infested by rats which eagerly ate any crops the settlers tried to grow. Before long the settlement was abandoned.
A perfect place, then, to punish those who had committed fresh offences in the colony. No-one would escape because there was nowhere to go. There would be no urban luxury, no free settlers to be assigned to. There would only be prisoners and jailers, labour on behalf of the government and never-ending punishment. It was also a place guaranteed to bring out any sadism, latent or open, in its commandants and officers. The list of its commandants is a catalogue of psychopaths. Its first ruler on resettlement in the late 1820s was Lieutenant-Colonel James Morriset, a veteran soldier whose face had been disfigured by a shell in the Napoleonic War and whose mind turned out to be as twisted as his face. It's last, John Price, was so wantonly cruel that his behaviour sparked the final closure of the settlement, and he entered the Australian literary canon as the sadistic, duplicitous Maurice Frere in Marcus Clarke's For the Term of his Natural Life. Those in between were no better.
Prisoners could receive 100 lashes or more for crimes such as 'smiling while on the chain', 'singing a song', 'insolence to a soldier' or 'neglect of work'. The island had its own specially reinforced whips because of the heavy use to which they were put, the prisoners taken down from the triangle with their backs flayed to the bone and streaming with blood. As if this were not enough they could be subjected to a range of medieval tortures - labouring in heavy irons, weeks of sensory deprivation in an underground cell, months of solitary confinement, chaining to the wall, gagging with an iron bit.
The aim was to break their spirit and it worked. Prisoners would put their own eyes out to escape hard labour. Afraid of eternal damnation if they committed suicide, some of them entered into murder pacts - a group of half a dozen prisoners would draw straws, with the one drawing the short straw murdered by the others. Since there was no judge on Norfolk Island, the perpetrators would be sent on the next ship to Sydney along with any witnesses, where they would be hung if they could not escape first. Others sank into despair, made bargains with the devil or persisted in their truculence and dared their jailers to flog them more.
Yet in the midst of this cruelty and suffering there was one remarkable exception - Captain Alexander Maconochie, a Scottish officer who served as Commandant between 1840 and 1843. Maconochie had arrived in the colony as private secretary to Sir James Franklin, the famed Arctic explorer who replaced George Arthur as Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land. He developed a passion for prison reform and proposed a radical new system. In place of punishment, he aimed to reform. To do this he proposed what he called the Mark System. Instead of sentences being defined by the passing of time they should be defined by the earning of a fixed number of 'marks'. These could be earned in a variety of ways - good behaviour, hard work in their prison labour, gaining new skills or education. While earning these marks, prisoners should be treated with mercy and fairness, and once the marks were earned their sentence would be over.
Maconochie was permitted to trial this system on Norfolk Island. It is hard to imagine a more difficult environment for an experiment in prison reform, but he was not given a second option. Possibly his master Governor Gipps and his colonial overlords feared a backlash from the colonial aristocracy if they tried it on the mainland. Norfolk, at least, was a place no-one really knew or cared about.
Maconochie's optimism about the possibilities of his system must have seemed almost delusional but his zeal and, it has to be said, arrogance had a way of sweeping problems aside. He was under strict instructions to confine his experiment to new arrivals, keeping the existing system in place for the 1200 'old hands', but as soon as he arrived he extended the system to everyone on the island. His first act was to declare a public holiday for all prisoners in honour of Queen Victoria's birthday which fell just five days after his arrival. The occasion was marked by all hands being given a tot of rum, excused from work and treated to plays, concerts and other forms of entertainment
For the prisoners, what followed was a glorious relief. The whips were destroyed, prisoners were unchained and released from solitary. Instead they were introduced to a system of promises and rewards - extra freedoms and privileges, meaningful work and, at the end, the opportunity for freedom. Maconochie built up a library for the use of prisoners which included the works of Shakespeare, which he encouraged the prisoners to perform. He spent money on musical instruments and formed bands and choirs. He erected headstones for those who passed away and allowed proper funerals and memorials.
The results were remarkable. The prisoners embraced the system enthusiastically. The prisoner memoirs and letters that survive refer to him as an angel, a deliverer. Ill discipline, crime, assaults and insubordination dropped dramatically. Productivity improved, the lash turned out to be unnecessary, punishment cells sat empty. Maconochie was generous in distributing praise and 'marks' and before too long many had qualified for their ticket of leave. Sadly, Maconochie's remit didn't extend to the mainland, so they only gained the freedom of the island but even this was better than chains and the lash.
One celebrated case was that of Charles Anderson, a former naval seaman who suffered brain damage while on active service and under stress became uncontrollably violent. Anderson ended up on Norfolk Island after a long history of counter-productive punishments which included two years chained to a rock on Goat Island in Sydney Harbour. He was 24 when Maconochie arrived on Norfolk Island but already looked old and was subject to relentless bullying by prisoners and jailers alike, treated as and acting like a wild animal. Maconochie started out by putting him in charge of a herd of half-wild bullocks and permitting him to sleep in the field with them rather than return to the jail and further bullying. When he did the job well Maconochie praised him and promoted him to the management of a remote signal station where he lived cheerfully and productively. When Gipps finally visited the island in 1843 he could hardly believe the change in the 'wild man of Goat Island'.
Gipps almost immediately regretted his support for Maconochie, repeatedly ordering him to separate the new prisoners from the old, to be stricter, to punish more, to be more stingy with his rewards. Maconochie responded with long, sanctimonious memos on the benefits of his system and urgings for Gipps to approve the actions he had already taken, send him more equipment and so forth. Gipps forwarded these to his masters in England with notes expressing his own doubts about the possibility of success, and was variously given leave to remove Maconochie if he wanted (he didn't) and instructions to limit or modify his system. Maconochie zealously ignored any orders he didn't like, writing even longer memos explaining why they needed to be rescinded. He was three weeks journey from Sydney and in practice he could do whatever he pleased. His psychopathic predecessors and successors would simply lie about their abuses, but Maconochie did not have that skill and his guilelessness surely hastened his downfall.
Finally, after three years of doubts and misgivings, Gipps decided to see for himself. In March 1843 he turned up at the island unannounced, fully prepared to sack Maconochie on the spot. Instead, he discovered that his own criticisms and those of the commandant's detractors were unfounded. The system wasn't perfect, but it was working. He changed his tune, writing to the colonial office that he believed the experiment should be continued after all, but he was too late. As the letter expressing his change of heart sailed north, the one ending Maconochie's tenure was already sailing south. At least his tickets of leave were ratified and those he had freed were allowed to move to the mainland, but for the next 20 years the island returned to its state of ever-increasing cruelty.
In the end, Maconochie's system was not abandoned because it didn't work, but because it worked too well. It set out to improve the prisoners' lot and turn them from criminals to citizens. Yet the English aristocracy and their pale imitators in New South Wales didn't give a fig for the prisoners. What they cared about was the effectiveness of the deterrent. The worse the stories filtering back from this hell on earth, the stronger the deterrent. The prisoners themselves were merely pawns in this big game of crime and punishment, their lives a necessary sacrifice to a greater good.
It's strange how little some things change. Maconochie was so far ahead of his time that his contemporaries could barely understand him. These days, many of his ideas are standard practice in prison management - a prison library, bands and theatre troupes (even, here in Queensland, one that specialises in teaching prisoners to act Shakespeare), opportunities for education and trade training, a graduation to full integration back into the community. Maconochie would have felt much more at home in a 21st century prison than in a 19th century one.
Yet when it comes down to it, we are still willing to send people into exile on distant islands in an attempt to send a message to the wider world. They are not subject to the lash or the gag bit, but their torment is nonetheless real. They find themselves branded as the worst of the worst and subjected to inhumanity, and then we are asked to be shocked when they resist. Many consider ending their lives as a better option than their indefinite detention. They may, perhaps, gain some limited freedom on the tiny island to which they have been banished, but they will not be permitted a normal life despite the fact that they deserve it and it is essential to their wellbeing. Their wellbeing is not the point.
We are in urgent need of a reformer like Alexander Maconochie, someone with the courage and pig-headedness to brush aside opposition and do what they know is right. He points us to our better selves, to the possibilities of mercy and generosity in the midst of fear and cruelty. He says it can be done, but he is long gone. Now it is up to us.

Who now pays for practice staff training?
Will our practice have to pay for all practice staff training or will the PCO still be involved in this?
Much of your staff's professional development will be your responsibility but PCOs should provide IT training to all practices.
The Department of Health has made a commitment to the IT needs of the new contract and many practices may need
extra training to bring them up to date
with the demands of the Q&O framework.
In many areas of Scotland the training element of the ancillary staff budget has been top sliced by PCOs and not passed directly to practices.
This funding stream is therefore not in the GS or GSE and either needs to be added or the PCO should retain responsibility for the funding of staff training.

WASHINGTON -- Cardiovascular interventionalists got a sneak preview of new devices being readied to help patients deal with an expected explosion in minimally-invasive heart structure procedures, particularly transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
At the annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics symposium here, researchers presented preliminary work on:
- Devices to protect the brain from strokes that might be caused by debris released when interventionalists fix their patients' hearts
- Devices that can help rapidly and easily close the arterial access points required by the use of large-bore catheters
- Devices that make it easier to fix heart valves, including the oft-neglected tricuspid valve
"All these devices need to have further tests before they will be available," said Mathew R. Williams, MD, assistant professor in surgery and medicine at Columbia University, New York City, and moderator of the TCT-sponsored session on innovative technology.
"I think the brain protection devices are the ones we are going to be most interested in," Williams told MedPage Today. "The closure devices may be less important because we are moving to smaller devices anyway."
"The tricuspid valve device is interesting, but we need to see a lot more work, including clinical trials with that device," added co-moderator Susheel Kodali, MD, co-director of the transcatheter aortic valve program at Columbia.
Among the devices discussed was the Embrella Embolic Deflector (Embrella Cardiovascular, Wayne, Penn.), designed to prevent calcified debris from entering the carotid arteries -- but instead of capturing the debris, the porous membrane deflects these potentially stroke-causing materials to other arterial branches in the arch of the aorta, where it is hoped they will cause less damage than if they occlude a blood vessel in the heart.
In a clinical feasibility trial involving 20 patients, John G. Webb, MD, professor of valvular heart disease intervention at the University of British Columbia and director of cardiac catheterization and interventional cardiology research at St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver, said two device-related adverse events occurred. One was a cerebrovascular accident that resolved at discharge -- most likely caused by improper positioning of the nitinol-framed deflector -- and another was a report by a patient of blurred vision, although it could not be determined if the device was at fault. In other institutions another 18 patients have been treated with the device, Webb said.
"The Embrella system appears technically feasible and safe during transcatheter aorta valve implementation," he said. Overall, the total clinical experience in 38 cases has not resulted in any changes in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Assessment, and there were no procedural deaths, heart attacks, renal failure events, limb ischemia events, or major bleeding episodes.
Another device temporarily places emboli-catching baskets in both the brachiocephalic and left common carotid artery branches off the aorta, again in attempts to prevent debris from valve procedures from moving upstream into the brain and causing strokes.
Eberhard Grube, MD, chief of cardiology and angiology at the Heart Center Siegburg (Germany) and consulting professor of medicine at Stanford University, said that the positioning of the Claret Dual Filter Device (Claret Medical, Santa Rosa, Calif.) was improved by using an over-the-wire technique rather than director positioning.
In the five cases in which the device was directly placed, technical success was achieved in all cases in the brachiocephalic artery but only in three of the five common carotid arteries. Over-the-wire technique filters were successfully placed in both arteries in all three cases attempted in the pilot studies -- and the time required to place the filters was reduced from 19 minutes to 9 minutes with the over-the-wire procedure.
"Stroke protection devices for transcatheter aortic valve implantation are helpful and are needed to facilitate and improve outcomes," Grube said. "Clinical trials are needed to confirm the use of these devices and their utility."
Pre-clinical experiments indicate that the Millipede Device (Millipede, Ann Arbor, Mich.) may be able to change the irregular shape of a faulty tricuspid valve into a circular form that is held in place by a nitinol ring with multiple attachments.
Experiments in animals indicate that once the ring is implanted, it appears to stay in place -- even if all the attachments fail to lock into place, said Jason H. Rogers, MD, director of interventional cardiology at the University of California Davis Medical Center. The tricuspid -- and also mitral valve -- annular rings appear to be self-sizing, self-centering and self-attaching, making the implantation of the devices relatively simple, he suggested.
"Prototypes for clinical use have been fabricated for feasibility testing," Rogers said. "A delivery system is under development."
Williams disclosed financial relationships with Edwards Lifesciences, Medtronic, St. Jude Medical. Kodali disclosed financial relationships with Edwards Lifesciences. Rogers disclosed financial relationships with Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Cordis, Volcano, AGA Medical, Biosense Webster, and Millipede. Webb disclosed financial relationships with Edwards Lifesciences, Embrella, Siemens, Phillips, St. Jude Medical, Guided Delivery Systems, Kardium and Valtech Cardio. Grube disclosed financial relationships with Medtronic, CoreValve, Sadra Medical, Direct Flow, Mitralign, Boston Scientific, Biosensors, Cordis, Abbott Vascular, Capella, Devax, Embrella, and Claret.

When I was growing up in Toronto, our family owned a cottage. Almost every summer weekend we would pack up the car and drive two hours north. We'd speed past cows grazing in empty fields, lonely gas stations with signs unchanged since the 1950s, and small, dreary, towns. The towns inevitably had a general store, a lumber yard, the odd coffee shop, maybe a church, but that was about it. And I would wonder: What did one do in a place where there were no enticing store windows, no malls, no movie theaters, no skating rinks, no libraries, no city? How did people live in these places where the view from your window was of nothing but empty fields and a cold, limitless sky? Just the thought of it all sent a chill of horror through me, and I could only be grateful that no matter what seemed dissatisfactory about my own life, at least had the great good fortune not to live in one of those places. I think it was this sense of despair that inspired a deep appreciation, or rather, an awe, for the writing of Alice Munro, whose essential view of the world was shaped by the dimensions of those small towns.
Though I knew of Alice Munro when I still lived in Canada, it took me many years to read her work. As a girl growing up in the suburbs, the last thing I wanted to read about was the alarmingly similar predicament of other girls living in what we sophisticated city-folk referred to as "the boonies". I was afraid that I would be bored to death, and that that boredom would feel uncomfortably close to home.
And so I read about people who lived in "interesting" places: Holden Caulfied's adventures with the seamy side of life in NYC. Garp's consorting with bears and prostitutes in Vienna. Garcia Marquez's Buendía family in brilliant and doomed Macondo. Hanif Kureishi's Karim negotiating his identity in South London. I could read about anything, it seems, except the lives of girls with whom I shared a language, a landscape, and a birthplace.
When, many years later, I did approach Alice Munro, it was with a skeptical curiosity about what she had done with her subject matter. Unlike Munro's heroines, I had left Canada for the Middle East. It was no longer troubling for me to read about girls stuck in places where the monotony was broken only by bake sales and gossip. I found her very first collection of stories, Dance of the Happy Shades, in my local library. And then, with my hard earned worldliness I re-entered the world I had so happily left behind. This is the setting of the very first story in the collection, her debut, as it were:
Then my father and I walk gradually down a long, shabby sort of street, with Silverwoods Ice Cream signs standing on the sidewalk outside tiny, lighted stores. This is Tuppertown, an old town on Lake Huron, an old grain port….Presently we leave these yards and houses behind, we pass a factory with boarded up windows, a lumberyard whose gates are locked for the night. Then the town falls away in a defeated jumble of sheds and small junkyards…
Are you asleep yet? Or just yawning through the gloom? What could possibly happen in this place that would interest a reader?
Here's another description, from another story in the collection, The Peace of Utrecht. But be assured: the characters in this story are as close to Utrecht as I am to Teheran.
…the whole town, its rudimentary pattern of streets and its bare trees and muddy yards just free of the snow… dirt roads where the lights of cars appeared, jolting towards the town, under an immense pale wash of sky.
I know these streets, those bare trees and muddy yards, that immense sky. And every time I read an Alice Munro story, I wonder anew at how she is able to create something from what seems to me to be… nothing.
I'm not going to explore here how that Munro takes these settings, where life is quiet and local color is pale and muted, and turns them into a backdrop for stories that are compelling, powerful, and in their own unique way, full of tragedy, horror, moral dilemma, social critique, and drama; in other words, that span the infinite and ancient spectrum of human endeavor. But I would be happy to provide and example.
Take The Shining Houses, also from Dance of the Happy Shades. The plot is oh so simple. You've heard the story about the community that is eagerly awaiting the construction of new, modern apartments, and the only thing stopping the project is some crazy old lady who, though she's been offered more than fair compensation, insists on remaining in her dilapidated old eyesore of a cabin/cottage/shack/house, thereby putting the entire plan on indefinite hold? What, you may ask, can possibly be done with this situation that is new, fresh, or surprising?
Well, how about this: Mary, a young wife and mother, and part of the community of energetic young couples perceives that she, out of the whole self-righteous lot of her peers, is the only one who can see crazy old Mrs. Fullerton's dump of a house as something rich, layered, and complex.
Here was no open or straightforward plan, no order that an outsider could understand; yet what was haphazard time had made final. The place had become fixed, impregnable, all its accumulations necessary, until it seemed that even the washtubs, mops, couch springs and stacks of old police magazines on the back porch were there to stay.
Mary senses the violence in the plan to force Mrs. Fullerton out of her house. The problem is that she can't find the language to describe what she sees. The scene is played out at a child's birthday party, where the parents have assembled for coffee and birthday cake.
Mary set her coffee cup down before she spoke and hoped her voice would sound all right, not emotional or scared. "But remember she's been here a long time," she said. "She was here before most of us were born." She was trying desperately to think of other words, words more sound and reasonable than these; she could not expose to this positive tide any notion that they might think flimsy and romantic, or she would destroy her argument. But she had no argument. She could try all night and never find any words to stand up to their words, which came at her now invincibly from all sides: shack, eyesore, filthy, property, value.
Mary can't find the words, and it wouldn't make a difference if she could, because she's up against something much more dark and primal than a neighborly disagreement.
And these were joined by other voices; it did not matter much what they said as long as they were full of self-assertion and anger. That was their strength, proof of their adulthood, of themselves and their seriousness. The spirit of anger rose among them, bearing up their young voices, sweeping them together as on a flood of intoxication, and they admired each other in this new behavior as property-owners as people who admire each other for being drunk.
In that brief lacuna between what the writer puts on the page and what the reader enacts in her mind, the shining houses and their smug, sanctimonious young owners have slipped over the line that differentiates a group from a mob.
Munro concludes the story with a final, compassionate glance at the town:
She saw the curtains being drawn across living room windows; cascades of flowers, of leaves, of geometrical designs, shut off these rooms from the night. Outside it was quite dark, the white houses were growing dim, the clouds breaking and breaking, and smoke blowing from Mrs. Fullerton's chimney. The pattern of Garden Place, so assertive in the daytime, seemed to shrink at night into the raw black mountainside.
And that's the thing about Alice Munro. We're still in some dull town in Ontario, still with characters who seem limited in scope and experience. So why does this story, like much of Munro's work seem to partake of the finest, the most subtle truth and beauty?

Yesterday it rained,…I figured I should plan something crafty to do indoors with my boys, to keep them occupied so I could get work done. Sure, popping in a movie, turning on xbox or convincing them to build something with Legos is the easy solution. But my boys are super imaginative – making up games, going through their costume trunk to play make believe, grabbing scrap paper and drawing…they always keep themselves occupied. Still, I wanted to try something different and let them explore creatively.
I'm totally addicted to Pinterest…my sister introduced me to this fabulous web app awhile ago and (when I have a spare moment) I've become completely hooked putting together inspiration boards and curating collections of things that I love. And it's great for finding crafty projects that I can do with my kids. Here are two Martha Stewart crafts (that I remember from previous issues, but was recently reminded of on Pinterest)…thought this would be fun to do with my boys on a rainy day.
I went around the house looking for things I already had to create these stamps (no time to run out to the store for celery or the radicchio di Treviso pictured above…although those would have produced better looking rose-shaped stamps). Just find everyday objects to explore what type of impressions they make.
And of course, it's beautiful and sunny out today…so much for a rainy day project! But now we at least have a project we can "save for a rainy day." Hmmm, maybe I should put some celery on my shopping list for next time. 🙂
This is what Isaac (4) and I came up with today.
|Iceberg lettuce, pine cones, corks, cardboard toilet paper tubes, buttons and screws/bolts.
|Hard to see (bad photo), here we stamped a retro flower design onto a notecard using a few of the button stamps.
|…Would certainly work better with celery or a more sturdy-stalk leafy veggie.
|…but I think we made it work with some red crayon squiggles and doodles…
|Yep, toilet paper cardboard tubes…
|With a cork stamp in the middle…
|This might be cool fabric design…or wrapping paper…
|The bottom of a pine cone…looks like a dandelion or dahlia.
|Found object stamps…for making your own wrapping paper, note cards, envelope and even a clay gift topper.
Some other things that might be fun to try for stamping: lace, burlap, leaves, shells, cereal (like Honeycombs or Cheerios), cookie cutters….what can you find around your home that would make a fun impression?

Ah – Happy Spring!
Here's what I love – when kids are out playing basketball in the driveway and skateboarding down the road.
Who cares that it is downright cold outside? Its Spring Break, they're off school and gosh darn it – they are going to be outside doing the things of summer, even if their digits freeze off.
I wish I had a photo of the boy that is the picture above. I'm driving down the road and here's a kid about ten or eleven, swishing back and forth on those bendy skateboards. I'm coming to the cross walk and I look up and see he's on the phone. Multi-tasking those boys…. I see this more often than not – kids on their boards on their phones – man, even when I was young I could never get the hang of skateboarding, let alone talk and ride.
Here's the thing – he just didn't glide out in front of me, oblivious to the car from not paying attention while on the phone, or thinking that he was a punk kid and had the right of way, complete with evil glare, nope – he saw a car coming and stopped at the cross street, like I did, just like he had a stop sign.
My guess? His butt has been scraped across the ground in a droopy pants ruining kind of way or bounced off car hood before, face to face through the windshield with a shocked driver and he's now a little more attentive.
Good, I like that! I can remember when there were shit kids in the area that would lie across the road and dare you to hit them. I always worried that some senior citizen would – without even realizing the dare… And you could never help but feel – serves your dumbass right. But as far as I know, those boys grew up and moved away – all alive and well. Yep, don't miss them - a bit.
Anyway – I like the new round of kids, out playing hoops and skateboarding. We had a football game in the parking lot across the street last weekend. Makes you feel like kids are being kids, and all is right in the world – at least right now, during Spring Break.
The only thing is – I don't see any girls. Yeah, I bet they are warm in the house, watching the amateur sports out the windows – no freezing digits on them…in fact, if their digits are anything like mine- they just got a new joyful spring coat of polish!!
Orange, in honor of our Detroit Tigers home opener Friday - see you there!

Many of us don't like when things change. Now let's not pretend here. When your child moves to another country or your cat dies or your basement floods with all your antique furniture, isn't this considered change? You may feel lost, sad or pretty angry, but all of these scenarios are nevertheless considered change. Even your emotions change. Change isn't always pretty, like getting a new home, a new do or a completely new outfit. Change comes in many packages and different coloured ribbons.
Self-worth and type of chair simply by Egyptian men had an added elaborate fashion. This type of chair had crossed supports and could be folded or collapsed for easy carrying.
So anytime you experience change or contrast rather than reacting in a negative way, which creates resistance to your flow of your desires, think. Look at the scenario, whether good or so good, as a time to grow or a time to grow even more. See if you could become clearer at what you want. Start fine-tuning your script of world. I am not stating that you'll be ecstatic any pipe bursts in real estate or if you get let go from work, but don't you think feel exhilarating when suddenly you become even clearer on what do want?
This appeal spread antique rugs after dark individual houses of the affluent and celebraties. Luxury hotels, palaces, museums, and resorts have all made antique rugs element of their home decoration. Sometimes, antique rugs are selected based around the use. Some are to get the living room, some for the dining room, some for that prayer halls, etc. Whichever be the purpose of the rugs, you might need to remember since have to complement the remaining furniture within your room. Normally, they have floral designs and bold patterns. Make sure the pattern and also the colours match your room and furniture whether the overall style of your home is modern or outdated.
Christian Siriano's collection for Payless Shoes – Is actually because the second fall collection Sirano has designed for discount shoe store, Payless Shoes. Sirano's collection for Fall 2010 was inspired by 18th and 1800s French antique furniture for sale on ebay. The highlight of Sirano's show the Rocaille style platform pump featuring his signature artisan heel. The heel was reminiscent connected with a claw foot bathtub.
If little one loves music then it can be appropriate to decorate his room in a musical design and style. In decorating the room, works of art are usually the focus of your whole set-up. You can paint the wall along with a bright color like blue or purple. Then paint it with a tool that kid particularly loves like an instrument. If this idea seems bold for you, you can just a hold a musical wall art in one wall. This piece of art will instantly create a charming influence on the walls. You can also hang musical notes door curtains against the wall or older a tab. Inflatable instruments are also a good idea. This could be hung on top of the wall or suspended away from the ceiling.
4) If you live in space susceptible to bad weather, you should find the toughness of a storage space is better for lots of your items than your garage. Furniture is better off stored from a facility that's temperature controlled and attain.
England is actually excellent starting point visit especially when you're an excellent student or a you scholar. Whether or not you've traveled there before, the very way you're able to squeeze probably the most excitement out of your vacation to England is actually by researching. Enjoyable and be safe!
