Prepare An Effective Ointment For Hemorrhoid Treatment And Remove Them Forever
Hemorrhoids are among the most annoying and widely spread diseases. According to certain statistics around 12% of the population suffers from problems with hemorrhoids. This disease equally affects both men and women.
You can make this highly effective ointment for hemorrhoid treatment that comes from the traditional medicine. This natural medicine is easy to be prepared and has helped a lot of people to get rid of this uncomfortable disease.
You will need these ingredients:
• 1 tbsp of honey
• 50 ml of olive oil
• 10 grams of propolis (finely grounded)
• 50 grams of high quality beeswax
Method of preparation:
Combine the honey and the propolis in a small enamel bowl and mash them with a wooden spoon until you get a homogeneous mixture.
In another enamel bowl, pour the olive oil and add the beeswax. Place the bowl under a low heat and wait to boil. When the blend starts boiling, turn off the heat and remove it from the stove. Let it cool slightly and add the previous mixture from the propolis and honey. Mix everything thoroughly.
Your homemade hemorrhoid treatment ointment is ready. It should be stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator.
How to use it:
Dip a clean piece of gauze in this ointment and place it into the anus every night. Let it remain the whole night and remove it in the morning.
Or you can make small suppositories with this ointment. Just place them in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden before you are about to use them. Before you go to bed, put the suppository into the anus. Repeat this every night, until complete recovering.
It is essential that you wash yourself well before each procedure.
Before you begin with any self – treatment you need to consult your doctor and to diagnose the disease first. Then you can continue with the natural treatment of hemorrhoids, of course with your doctor's approval.

Well, finally, the day was upon us – the apex of Red Carpet glory – The 87th Oscars.
Perched on the leather recliner, Champagne in hand (I mean it was midday somewhere) I wanted to be wowed. I wanted to see those Hollywood A-listers OWN IT. And if your couture doesn't cut it (Sienna Miller, I'm talking to you)…we may not see you on this blog-post. So, Glams lets get right down to the RC bizo.
Let's start with the Hostesses with the Mostest
I do love Giuliana Rancic but she often looks so dangerously emaciated that I automatically reach for a carby snack. But in a strategically embellished red Mireille Dagher that slightly bulked out her teeny frame, I thought she looked beautiful. And I loved her darker coloured hair, which was styled in quite the popular do of the moment– love!
Kelly Osbourne also owned it on the RC. I loved her black long-sleeved lace Rita Vinieris dress, (covering the horrendous forearm tats nicely) and revealing strappy Sophia Webster shoes – very Oscar RC worthy. The lilac hair swept up in an elegant up-do was also fitting.
When The Jaw Dropped (finally)
In all honesty before I saw Lupita Nyong'o in a plumage of 6000 pearls, I was yawning. This RC just wasn't doing it for me. Then, like a shimmery, pearly vision – Lupita Nyong'o resplendent in a custom Calvin Klein Collection masterpiece – exquisite against her dark velvet complexion, got the heart racing. Her make-up was also beautiful – the deep frosted green eye, the high bronze shimmer on the cheeks. Girrrl!
Chrissie Teigen, my girl crush (she is like a half super-model and half cat – such feline beauty) was THE showstopper in a magnificent Zuhair beaded, pale blue gown, plunging to the navel and revealing flawless golden skin (what would JLo say?). Magnificent. And I was also very fond of the plum lip – a sophisticated choice. However, small suggestion – do we need a thigh-high split AND a waist plunging neckline? I mean there can be too much of a good thing…
Rita Ora, who normally is not on my radar, looked a million bucks in this midnight blue custom Marchesa with gilded detail that hugged her bombshell curves beautifully – this really was old school Oscar glamour.
Now while Luppita had me stop dead mid mouthful of toast (it was breakfast in Sydney) – these ladies of the RC showed how restrained glamour is SO right.
Margot Robbie had me drooling over her incredibly chic, supremely sexy get-up. The blonde bob, the statement red pout, the black sheer-sleeve, plunging necked Saint Laurent AND the most incredible statement necklace. I mean hello – a Van Cleef & Arpels piece created for the Duchess of Windsor in the '30s. Be. Still. My. Beating. Heart.
Anna Kendrick also looked lovely in a deep coral toned custom Thakoon gown with diamond collar detail that skimmed her petite frame like a dream. This was effortless glamour to a tee.
Julianne Moore rarely puts a foot wrong – she nailed it AGAIN in custom Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld. An exquisite piece of art made up of 80,000 small white hand-painted resin sequins and flowers made of ivory, beige and black organza, tulle and sequins. This is the gown you wear when you accept your Oscar for Best Actress. And teamed with a low chignon and wine stained pout – perfection
Laura Dern also looked amazing in a metallic charcoal toned embellished Alberta Ferretti gown with a fabulous Bulgari necklace. It had a kind of medi-eval vibe and suited her strong features.
J-Lo was the belle of the ball in flesh toned, beaded Elie Saab couture. She looked ridiculously youthful in a high pony & pale pink pout. But again, I'm going to put my Nanna hat on – did we need it plunging to the waist-line? I think it would have been sexier without so much cleavage. Just saying…
This custom white Alaia gown may have worked (possibly not) if it wasn't for the huge red gardening gloves. That's a no from me Ga Ga.
Gwyneth Paltrow revisited pale pink in a Ralph Russo one shouldered number featuring large flower corsage. I thinks it is the massive shoulder flower that tipped it over for me. Also, the shape of this dress did nothing for her body – she looked very straight up and down. Sorry Gwen. Too much Paleo and Pilates.
Ladies in Green
So, not wanting to finish things on a sour note (that's not how we roll), I thought I would wrap with 2 ladies who really did work the green hues beautifully.
Emma Stone, who has torn it up this Awards Season, was divine in a beaded, long-sleeve backless chartreuse Elie Saab number and matching coloured shoe (another trend of the night). Her hair and makeup was just exquisite with the statement orangey-red pout that was just the ticket against her ivory complexion and chartreuse-ness of the frock.
I loved Scarlet Johansson with her new short do and stunning green Versace figure-hugging gown. Hello – her body! But it was the matching green statement necklace that really sealed the deal – she rocked it.
Well, my dear Glams, it's with a heavy heart that I wrap what has been a most bountiful and exciting Awards Season Red Carpet. There has been frills, spills, beading for days and of course some frock-shocks. We've had quite the time of it.
Next stop: The Logies!

The Bushplane Revisited: A Parent's Perspective
I've written a few times in the past about visiting the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre (locally known as the Bushplane Museum) for non-heritage events, namely for musical performances and a community craft show. In both cases the admission to the Bushplane was either free or the proceeds when to the performing artist. Those events were … Continue reading The Bushplane Revisited: A Parent's Perspective

The coast
I wouldn't have it any other way. Washington's Pacific coast suits me, which must be why I so loved Brittany's coast this summer. I love that the rain falls there like an everyday blessing, and that sun is an almost unusual surprise. I love that there are probably more salmon running in the streams and rivers than cars passing on highway 101. My husband, a connoisseur of the ends of the earth, humors me. He enjoys trekking through the rain forest or running along the deserted beach, but I suspect he still counted the days until our return to civilization.
When we foraged for food, morning, noon and night, our comparisons with France were not always flattering. We had two excellent meals at the resort, but went to a chain motel dining room on the third night, where we waited (and waited, and waited) for food with an impatient toddler before giving up and walking out. So much for exceptional American customer service.
Breakfast at the resort was good but heavy, and the leisurely start to the day incompatible with our plan to hit the trail early on our second day. So we looked for coffee, fresh fruit, and (preferably unshrinkwrapped) pastries at a grocery store on the road. My husband came back with four apples in sorry condition and a package of Chips Ahoy cookies.
"Do you know what's in these things?" I started to read off the long list of ingredients while a famished le Petit gobbled down three cookies in a row and cried for more. My husband spit out his first bite of apple in disgust and declared it inedible. I whined until we finally found coffee: only in Washington State can you get a good cup of espresso at a bait and tackle shop.
As we polished off the coffee, we turned off the paved road and started up a gravel track to the trailhead. We weren't there to eat, after all; that wasn't what made me homesick. Leaving the car at the very end of the road, we started hiking up the north fork of the Quinault River. I savored pronouncing 'Quinault' the American way, 'kwin-awlt', landing on all the consonants.
We followed the rocky riverbed and hiked between old-growth tree trunks meters in diameter. I pointed out lacy western hemlock, sturdy salal bushes, fragrant red cedar, and sun-dappled vine maple to my husband and if I were introducing him to old friends. We stopped to let le Petit splash and run about the sandier parts of the stream, and apprehensively pointed out fresh bear and elk tracks in the mud. Three startled mergansers noisily flew off, and I watched an osprey dive down from its perch in a dead snag. It was sunny, there wasn't a cloud overhead; the 'rain was in remission,' as our fabulous guidebook described it. I drank in the scent of the forest and the sound of the gushing water, knowing it would have to quench my thirst for this place months, maybe years.
"There's nothing like this in France," I said obviously, uselessly.
I vowed to spend as much time as possible on our infrequent trips back home hiking and exploring Western Washington's wilderness. I love this land with a visceral familiarity, and no other landscape on Earth feels so much like home. I want le Petit to feel the same way.

What great memories you are building for Le Petit!
I'm sure he'll love this land as much as you do ;)
YOu did well hiking with a toddler. My 4.5 year old is a great little walker, but the 2.5 y.o., not so much. And we are both hikers/nature lovers, but can not see much walking in the forseeable future.
I really can relate to your adventure foraging for something decent to eat. Whenever we go back home to Aus, it's the same for us. I have gotten to be a food snob and well, my husband has always been one. Faux Italian makes us barf.
- Parisienne Mais Presque said...
@paola - We're lucky that le Petit loves to walk. In fact, the biggest problem we have at the moment is convincing him to happily get back into the Ergo when the trail is unsafe or he's not going fast enough. I suspect it will be tough when we have a second and inevitably there are some things that we know we can count on with le Petit, who is a good walker and a good eater, that the second just won't do the same way.
US food is now quite good in the cities (and often more imaginative than in France, if a bit overdone sometimes, if you know what I mean) but it is hard to find good stuff anywhere else (with the notable exception of good steaks in some places). And I have definitely become a food snob. I lived in New England for years and they were obsessed there with faux Italian -- greasy chicken parmesan, especially. Blech.

This is the kind of working-class movie a young Bruce Springsteen might make. The story's ballad-simple: While dad sits in jail, two brothers try to make ends meet, and one tries to make it with a girl. Tom Guiry (the best in an extraordinary cast, which includes Ugly Betty's America Ferrara) brings simmering emotions as the youngest son. Filmmakers will make flashier debuts this year, but few will match first-time writer-director Brian Jun's unforced and naturalistic touch.

Liverpool Disco Festival is back in the Baltic
Liverpool Disco Festival is back this autumn with its third instalment, with some very special names coming to the region on Saturday 7th October across the thriving Baltic Triangle area of the city.
The city-wide explosion of music, art and culture over the last five years has nourished a fertile ground of innovation, integration and celebration – and Liverpool Disco Festival 3 is one such expression of this immense Scouse spirit which continues to grow from strength to strength.
October's edition of the Liverpool Disco Festival is the most anticipated and adventurous to date: its headline billing a multi-media collaboration with two venerable dance music labels, each with forty-year legacies. West End and Salsoul Records will be unearthing rare and previously unavailable master tracks from their vaults and offering them exclusively to Liverpool Disco Festival DJs to rework, reimagine and refresh for today's dance floor.

[Celebrity Magazine] "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" Photoshoot with Zhou Mi~22:43
Zhou Mi`s White & Black Mix Match
White & Black are colors with infinite potentials. It suits Super Junior-M`s Zhou Mi, who finally started to approach the public, and his potentials. Zhou Mi`s travel to the spring beach to a grand start of his era.
When I'm in front of the camera or on stage I still get very nervous. In China I've done individual activities but in Korea it has been with the team (SJM), so individual activities feel awkward.
Right now, I am not following the fashion trend, but I'm into the colors Black & White that suits any occasions. If you have asked me the same question 3~4 years ago, I would have answered that I like flashy and colorful clothes.
Place I travel often to is Thailand. I`ve once gone there four times in a month. It`s very different there compared to China and Korea, it`s warm all four season, and close by. And I especially like how there is a beach.
The place I want to go to the most in Korea is Jeju Island! I recently was in Jeju for about 2 hours for a fansign, and I was very disappointed (about being unable to stay longer)
I was recruited on the street while I was preparing to become a singer in China. I never knew I`d do activities with friends I`ve seen on broadcasts.

The taste of Vienna?
As my family, friends, and regular readers know, I lived in Vienna, Austria in 2008 and fell in love with that city. Last weekend, S & I were out shopping at a local retailer that specializes in imported foods and other goods, and discovered they have a selection of Manner wafers. (Unfortunately, it looks like someone thinks they are a product of Australia -- at least that's what it looks like in the fine print below the label. I might have to return to the store to check this out and correct them if necessary!) They also have the chocolates I jokingly refer to as Mozart's Balls. If only they had Julius Meinl coffee beans!

When you want to work with heavy equipment on outdoor activities, you will need some source of power to operate the machines. The most common source of power used is the regular fuel that will power most varieties of motors. However, in some industrial activities, you may not be able to use such fuel due to some constraints. In this regard, you need not worry anymore as you can use the air powered compression machines that will give optimum power to your drilling machines. You can also use them in garages and this will help you to power multiple tools at once. In this manner, all you have to do is to power a single source and this will pass the compressed air through tubes to the entire garage. You can connect any tools to the tubes and run them without any hassles. In this case, the individual tools need not have any motors and this will save you lots of money in the long run. There is no need to maintain the tools as they will not have much wear and tear in this manner. You can easily get such components from reputed dealers in Singapore and use them in your industrial activities.
How to get industrial gases from reputed suppliers?
- You can easily get any components for your industrial activities from reputed suppliers.
- They will have the license to operate such business and you can get the required components at affordable rates.
- They will also be able to supply the gases in any quantity of your choice and they can pack them into cylinders and deliver them to your location.
- You can get in touch with the reputed industrial gas supplier and discuss about your requirements in detail.
- They will deliver them in quick time and also help you with the storage of cylinders in your workplace.

Peter Charles Newman, CC, CD (born 10 May 1929) is a Canadian journalist and writer.
Born in Vienna, Austria, Newman emigrated from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1940 as a Jewish refugee. His parents were Wanda Maria and Oscar Karel Neumann,[3] a self-made wealthy factory owner. Newman was educated at Upper Canada College, where he was a member of Seaton's House, and the University of Toronto. He has been a reporter for the Financial Post, served as editor of the Toronto Star, and was the long-time editor of Maclean's, stewarding its transformation from a general interest magazine to a weekly news magazine. He continues to write a column for the periodical. In 1978 he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and was promoted to the rank of Companion in 1990.
Newman is widely respected for his intimate knowledge and understanding of Canadian business leaders. His 1975 book, The Canadian Establishment, was widely acclaimed. Newman made his name as an author in the 1960s with the publication of two books: Renegade in Power: The Diefenbaker Years (1963), a study of the government of John George Diefenbaker that some say helped destroy the Tory leader's career, and The Distemper of Our Times (1968), an examination of Canadian politics during the era of Lester Pearson.
On 12 September 2005, Newman announced the publication of The Secret Mulroney Tapes: Unguarded Confessions of a Prime Minister, a biography of former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney, whom he considers a friend. The information released to the press contained several surprising revelations, including an allegation by Mulroney that Pierre Trudeau's contribution "was not to build Canada but to destroy it." Later the same day, Mulroney issued a press release stating he felt "devastated" and "betrayed" by the publication of information he had understood to be confidential. Shortly after the publication of The Secret Mulroney Tapes, both Mulroney and Conrad Black filed suit against Newman.
Newman has been married four times, once to writer Christina McCall. He lives with his fourth wife, Alvy (Bjorklund) Newman, in Belleville, Ontario.[4]
He joined the Royal Canadian Navy reserve in 1947 as an Ordinary Seaman and later reached the rank of Captain, having served in the naval reserve for 50 years. He was appointed Visiting Professor of Distinction at Ryerson University in Toronto in December 2009. In October 2012 he joined the faculty of the Royal Military College of Canada as its first journalist-in-residence. In this role he is involved with RMC's graduate and undergraduate programs and gives lectures on topics relating to business, politics and history.

By Victoria E. Bynum
The following post expands upon the story of James Morgan Valentine, Newt Knight's 1st Lt. in Mississippi's "Free State of Jones," posted last week on Renegade South, http://www.renegadesouth.wordpress.com. Like Hiram Levi Sumrall of my earlier post on this site, Valentine testified in 1890 and 1895 on behalf of Newt Knight's claim for compensation for members of the Knight Company. A summary of Newt's claim, below, is followed by excerpts and analysis of Valentine's depositions.
For thirty years, Newt Knight, Captain of Mississippi's most notorious band of deserters, the Knight Company of Jones County, pursued compensation from the federal government for himself and his company. Newt initiated his first claim in 1870, before the Southern Claims Commission had been established (RG 233, Box 15, HR 1810). That claim had long ago died in committee when Congress passed the Bowman Act in 1883, followed by the Tucker Act of 1887, which allowed individuals to resubmit rejected or tabled claims. With lawyers now representing his case, Newt renewed his efforts to win pay for his "soldiers." Newt's two final claims, #8013 and #8464, were eventually merged into one.
On November 20, 1890, fifty-year old James Morgan Valentine appeared before the Jones County Chancery Court to lend support to Newt Knight's claim. The first question posed to him by the government's lawyers was whether Newt Knight had "commanded a company of men known as Union men," and whether they were "equipped as soldiers during the war and what part did they act as such?" Valentine replied that he knew Newt Knight to be the captain of a company, "armed and equipped," that "acted in opposition to the rebel forces."
To further questions, Valentine answered that the Knight Company had operated in Jones, Smith, Jasper, and Covington counties from October 13, 1863 until September 5, 1865, and that he had been with them "all the time except about a month while I was in prison." Here, Valentine was referring to his capture by Col. Robert Lowry's Confederate forces during its raid on Jones County. In his 1895 deposition, he specified that he was captured on April 16, 1864 and sent to Shubuta, MS, where he was imprisoned until June of that year. (Information included on Newt Knight's roster of 1870 corroborates this.)
When asked if he engaged in any battles as part of the Knight company, Valentine replied that he participated in three, those of Saul's Battery (Sal's Battery), Tallahala, near Ellisville, and Knight's Mill, the battle in which he was wounded and captured by Col. Lowry's forces.
When asked whether the Knight Company was ever mustered into the Union Army, Valentine replied unequivocally, "They were not." Despite that fact, he believed all the men remained loyal to the Union throughout the war. He reiterated this testimony in his second deposition of January 29, 1895.
In 1895, Valentine also testified that despite the company's failure to become an official unit of the Union Army, it nonetheless had collaborated directly with Union forces. His examples, however, which lawyers were quick to note, occurred in July 1865, shortly after the war had ended. Valentine recalled that Lt. H. T. Elliott of the U.S. Army had ordered Newt Knight and his men to "seize and hold in possession certain cloth and wool in the hands of one Amos Deason" (Deason was Jones County's Confederate representative to the state legislature), that the Knight Company had also captured a "stand of arms in the court house," and turned them over to Capt. A. R. M. Smith of the federal army post at Ellisville in Jones County, and that U.S. Gen'l William McMillan had once supplied the company with rations. (All of these actions are verified by documents submitted to the government in 1870 by Newt Knight.)
When government lawyers asked Valentine whether these interactions occurred "after the Confederate armies had all been disbanded and returned to their homes," Valentine replied, "I could not tell you sir whether they were all disbanded or no." When reminded that Generals Lee and Johnston had surrendered in May, 1865, Valentine reminded the lawyers that "there were Ku Klux in this country after the surrender that we had to contend with."
Valentine's uncertainty about whether the war was truly over in July, 1865, reflected ongoing battles over power throughout the South, including in Jones County. That very month, Newt Knight and his supporters petitioned provisional Governor William Sharkey to overturn Jones County's 1864 elections on grounds that local Unionists had been denied the vote. Pro-Confederate citizens soon retaliated against several appointments and elections of Unionists to office by successfully petitioning the Mississippi State Legislature to change the name of Jones County to Davis County (in honor of Jefferson Davis). Valentine's testimony reflected his memory that, for Newt Knight, and the Knight Company, battles over local political power remained fierce in the aftermath of the Civil War.
NOTE: Newt Knight's long struggle with the U.S. Court of Claims, as well as Jones County's Reconstruction and New South political struggles, are analyzed in my forthcoming book, Southern Communities at War: Essays on Civil War Era Dissent and it's Legacies, scheduled for release by the University of North Carolina Press in spring, 2010).

David Sebastian Klement Rozehnal (born 5 July 1980) is a Czech footballer who plays as a defender for amateur club Sokol Kožušany. He previously played for a host of European clubs, making over 400 appearances in a career spanning almost two decades, and retired from the professional game in April 2018.
Club career[edit]
Rozehnal began his career at SK Sigma Olomouc, where his performances earned him a place in the Czech Republic under-21 team. In 2003, he was signed by Belgian club Club Brugge. In 2004, Rozehnal played for the Czech Republic at the European Championship where the team made it to the semi-finals before being knocked out by Greece. He won the Belgian Cup in his first season with Brugge and the Belgian League in 2005. He signed for Paris Saint-Germain in June 2005.[3]
Rozehnal played in all three of Czech Republic's matches at the 2006 FIFA World Cup and is the 33rd most capped player in Czech history. At Paris Saint Germain in the 2006–07 season, he was named as the club's Player of the Year. His form resulted in reported interest from Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle United and Sevilla.[4] Sources close to the defender confirmed that he would favour a move to Newcastle.[5]
On 22 June 2007, it was confirmed by the player's agent that a "definite agreement" had been reached for the player to join Newcastle United. He underwent a medical check on 25 June and Newcastle confirmed the transfer had been completed on 29 June for a fee of £2.9 million.[4]
On 11 August Rozehnal made his debut for Newcastle against Bolton Wanderers.[6]
Rozehnal left Newcastle for Lazio, on loan until the end of the 2007–08 season, on 31 January 2008, despite having only signed in June 2007. After only playing seven times for Lazio during his loan spell, it remained unclear if they wanted to sign him on a permanent deal. On 9 June 2008, Lazio officially announced they had signed Rozehnal on a permanent basis,[7] with Newcastle recouping the full £2.9 million which they initially paid for the defender.[8]
After only one year in Italy, Rozehnal left S.S. Lazio, on 29 July 2009 for German top club Hamburger SV, signing a contract until 30 June 2012. After a poor season with several costly errors by Rozehnal, he was removed from the first team and asked to find a new club.[9] On 31 August 2010, HSV confirmed that Rozehnal would leave for French side Lille OSC on a year-long, free loan, with the German club still paying part of his salary.[10] While at Lille, his side reached the 2011 Coupe de France Final where he faced former side PSG. Lille prevailed 1–0 in the final, claiming their first Coupe de France trophy since 1955.[11] After the 2010–11 season with Lille, Rozehnal signed for Lille on a permanent basis.
Rozehnal retired from professional football on 4 April 2018 and joined Sokol Kožušany, who play in the seventh tier of the Czech Republic league system. His brother, Marek, also plays for the same club. He made his debut for the club the following weekend.[12]
International career[edit]
Rozehnal has also represented his country at Euro 2004, the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008.
- Belgian Pro League: 2004–05
- Belgian Cup: 2005

Rozehnal is married to Petra and their first child, Luka, was born on 3 October 2007.[13]

Case Studies
Chef + Dinner Party
Clients: Anne Walsh & Tom Zink
Location: Long Beach, CA
The Challenge: Provide photography coverage for a dinner party showcasing a chef's innovative dinner preparations and unique presentation of food. Anne and Tom wanted to introduce the creative abilities of a local chef to a small gathering of friends in a fun, and festive way while also capturing the special moments and beautiful food.
The Result:
"Studio Salt Creative was very respectful of our needs. We were hardly aware that they were photographing which allowed the ambiance of the dinner party and the chef's unique preparations to remain the features of the party.
The photographers were fun, engaged, yet nonintrusive. They worked efficiently, and effectively, capturing the life of the event. Having such a professional, creative team actually enhanced the experience.
The final images were exquisite, bringing out the beauty and joy of the occasion while starring Chef Jeff's cuisine. We are left with memories of a most wonderful evening.

The Challenge: Provide a fresh update of the menu by creating images with a high end, professional look to attract the local and discriminating LA clientele. Images would be used for Uber Eats, Social Media, Website, and Online menus.
The Result:
"Working with Studio Salt Creative couldn't have been better. The photographers arrived prepared not only with equipment, but with a knowledge of our company and product. The team created a collaborative environment that allowed us to express our ideas. They provided solid expertise and advice. Together we were able to make quick and informed decisions to realize the vision for our coffee shop, all while prepping, styling, and shooting 50+ different food and drink items.
The crew kept everything running on schedule so we could pay attention to the details of each item. The photographers cared about the images as much as we did and were unwavering in their pursuit of capturing the perfect photo for us.
We came away with some amazing images that truly represent the idea of our coffee shop/cafe."

Lawson's: A Simple Idea Done Well
Yesterday, a couple of friends and I visited Lawson's, a soup, salad, sandwich, and sushi joint in Dupont Circle. (If the latter offering seems somewhat out of place, that's because it kind of is.)
Welcome to Hungry Sam, where we always play with our food. Enjoy diving into dishes and reading through recipes -- and hit me up here or on the Facebook page if you have questions!
Yesterday, a couple of friends and I visited Lawson's, a soup, salad, sandwich, and sushi joint in Dupont Circle. (If the latter offering seems somewhat out of place, that's because it kind of is.)
Most Americans are a reflection of or a reaction to their parents in three key respects: in religious belief, in political orientation, and in milk-fat-content preference.
I am a skim milk guy, having been raised on it. The weight and density of whole milk, in my opinion, make it suitable only for making sugar cereal decadent or for perfecting coffee. 2% is an acceptable compromise, particularly for coffee, but I'd still rather be drinking skim milk.
I know the complaints - skim milk is too watery, too thin, too whatever. I suppose that really just amounts to one complaint. It's not that I don't concede the point, it's more that I don't care, and lower density milk is probably ideal for a guy who drinks at least a gallon a week.
At least, I used to concede the point, but then I tried Real Skim Milk. Fresh skim milk, milk from cows that only ate grass and hay (NOT corn), from cows situated just a few miles away. Milk milked that very day. Now, I wasn't seeking this milk out; I was semi-desperate coming home from work - the three convenience stores on my walk were out of skim. So I tried this bodega on the corner of my street, a little store which only sells things no one ever needs. Except, apparently, milk.
They sell this local milk, skim included, in big, half-gallon glass jugs with plastic covers. It was expensive - more on that - but I eat oatmeal made with milk every morning, snack on milk and cereal, and drink a glass of milk or more pretty much every time I sit down at my table. So ain't no mountain high enough.
And wow. This skim milk was identifiably not as creamy as whole, but it had such flavor! Such character! as to differentiate it quite entirely from the rest of the skim family. Frothier, smoother, deeper, and much more complex than supermarket milk, I'm actually not even using it for oatmeal and use it only stingily for cereal. It's that good to drink. This skim milk is to that other skim as FDR was to Grover Cleveland, as a Cadillac is to a Daewoo, as the Sun is to other stars: clearly the same elemental stuff, but so, so much better.
A final note: including a two dollar deposit for the bottle, this half-gallon cost $6.75. Damn - I'm not made of money, and at nearly 3 times the rate of the crappy stuff, this milk will have to be an infrequent treat. Good thing I can return the bottle...

One thing I have learned since I began dating with Whitechapel escorts from https://charlotteaction.org/whitechapel-escorts, is that London is packed with secret societies. I date a couple of gents who belong to societies that I have never heard of in my entire life. Most people have heard about the Masons and people like that, but these ones, I have never heard of in my entire life. The first time I came across one, I thought I would have to go underground.
This gentleman had taken his ring off and as he went out of the room for a minute, I picked it up and played with it. I thought that I had broken the ring when the the black surface swiveled and revealed the the Flower Forget Me Not. Just as I was sitting there looking totally aghast at this flower, the man cam came into the room. He gave me a funny look and explained that the flower represented a society he belonged to. I felt like begging for my life, but I just gave him the ring back.
Since then we have spoken about that ring a few times. I explained that I was not a Dan Brown fanatic or anything like that, but I was just curious. A week later, the same gent invited me to come for a walk with him. We walked all across London, and he showed me all of the secret signs you can see. I have not told any of the other girls at Whitechapel escorts. I am not sure that they would understand, and some of the girls at Whitechapel escorts would also only gossip about it.
However, it has made me interested and I have done a little bit of research. Most of these societies go back a long time, and some of them even further. Symbolism is a big thing, and if you are in one of these secret clubs or societies, it seems that life may be a little bit easier for you. Unfortunately, most of them are for men, so I don't think that they would benefit any of the girls at Whitechapel escorts at all.
But, I think that it recently benefited me but I am not actually sure how that happened. I just mentioned something to my gent, and all of a sudden I saved a lot of money.
It really makes you wonder what has happened in the past. When you read certain passages in history, you have to ask yourself if forces that you may not have known about were at play. I bought myself a good camera a couple of weeks ago, and I am going to photograph some of these signs and symbols around London. It is a little project I am doing for myself when I have time to spare from Whitechapel escorts. I wish that I could be a little bit less nosy but I don't think is ever going to happen. After all, I am a woman.

He Tohu – The Treaty of Waitangi and the 1893 Women's Suffrage Petition have moved
Our most iconic constitutional documents were moved in the early hours of Saturday morning (22 April) in an emotional and uplifting atmosphere.
At 4am a pūtātara heralded the start of the journey from Archives New Zealand to their new home at the National Library in Wellington.
The 1835 He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni – Declaration of Independence of the United Tribes of New Zealand, the 1840 Te Tiriti o Waitangi – Treaty of Waitangi and the 1893 Women's Suffrage Petition – Te Petihana Whakamana Pōti Wahine were carried by Archives staff, each in a specially prepared crate into a waiting truck.
The three documents were welcomed into the National Library and an ecumenical service (all Christian service of thanksgiving) was held, followed by whakatau and whaikorero from kaumatua of manawhenua and iwi Māori.
The speakers at the ceremony thanked Archives staff for the care they gave to the three taonga. They also recognised the importance of including the Suffrage Petition in He Tohu.
Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne said they were important national historical documents, but they were also far more than that. "These are living documents for all New Zealanders. They are not just wrapped in the tide of history. They are for now and for the future". The Minister also said that once the project ends, the enduring and ongoing Crown-Māori partnership that is integral to the He Tohu exhibition must continue.
One of the speakers at the opening, National Council of Women vice-president Vanisa Dhiru, who has been part of the group advising on the move, said the leader of the suffrage movement, Kate Sheppard, would be thrilled to know her petition would have a wider audience. A specially made quilt to mark the centenary of women's suffrage was laid on the crate containing the women's suffrage petition.
- He Tohu opens to the public 20 May, 2017.
- The exhibition has been developed since mid-2014 in partnership between the Crown and Māori, with advice from a Women's Suffrage Petition Advisory Group and a Māori Technical Advisory Group.
- He Tohu will be located at the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa, in Wellington.

Mrs: Miracle
In this fan favorite from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber, a widower whose life has been turned upside down and a woman who's given up on love are in need of a holiday miracle, which is unexpectedly delivered in the form of a nanny who seems to have the magic touch to bring them the happiness they deserve.
Seth Webster's heart never healed after he lost his adored wife. Now, with Christmas approaching, wild twin boys to raise alone, a home in chaos, and the latest in a long line of exasperated housekeepers quitting in disgust, Seth needs more than help to keep his family together . . . he needs a miracle.
And then one arrives on his doorstep. Her name is Mrs. Merkle, but the kids call her "Mrs. Miracle"—and from the moment the warm, knowing, and very patient nanny appears, everything is different. Her sassy spirit is infectious, and it gives Seth the courage to approach Reba, a beautiful travel agent who's been hurt and betrayed, and is afraid to ever love again. Through the magic of faith—and with a little help from a children's Christmas pageant and a lot of encouragement from Mrs. Miracle—Seth and Reba might just be able to find a Christmas miracle of their very own: true love.
"Warm-hearted, endearing romance."—Jayne Ann Krentz

"What became apparent to me was that the opposition to faith was as unappealing and bland as faith was appealing and thrilling. I read, prayed and thought myself into faith more than 20 years ago. It was gradual but inevitable. Miracles occurred but they need not have. I do not need a miracle to remind me that water quenches my thirst. Christ was there in my life, with me and in me and around me. Atheists showed me the way. God bless the little devils.
"Then, just recently, the tarnished old arguments from the flimsy and trendy were re-published in new editions by the likes of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins and we were all supposed to run away and hide. So I read them. Then began to laugh. It's the emperor and his new clothes. Naked, quite naked.
"Nothing new here. Nothing clever or challenging, either.
"Busting with errors, hysterical, clumsy, nasty and obviously incredibly frightened. Suddenly, I realize what's going on. It's that God again, helping to strengthen my faith. 'The best they can do,' He's saying, 'is blast you with the same old nonsense they threw at you when you first thought of coming my way.'
"Clever old God…"

"A little music to ease your soul"
Music therapy uses live or recorded music to provide distraction from upsetting feelings and pain and also to promote relaxation. A small study has found that music therapy eased anxiety in women having breast biopsies as outpatients. As far as the researchers know, this is the first randomized study to look at using music therapy in this way.
The research was published online on Aug. 17, 2015 by the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Between 2012 and 2014, 207 women scheduled to undergo breast biopsy were randomly split into three groups: 1) one group listened to a song of their choice, performed live by a music therapist, accompanied by guitar or keyboards, for 5 minutes before going into the operating room; during surgery, this group listened through headphones to prerecorded harp music carefully chosen by the music therapist for its smooth melodies and stable rhythms; 2) the second group listened to a prerecorded song of their choice through headphones while the music therapist stood outside the room for 5 minutes before going into the operating room; during surgery, this group also listened through headphones to prerecorded harp music carefully chosen by the music therapist for its smooth melodies and stable rhythms; and 3) the third group didn't listen to music and received the usual preoperative care for 5 minutes; during surgery, this group wore noise-cancelling headphones to cancel any effects of music played by the surgeon.
Before any music listening or preoperative care, a registered nurse gave each woman an anxiety test to determine the women's baseline anxiety levels. After the women listened to music or had preoperative care, the nurse again gave each woman the anxiety test.
"We discovered that anxiety levels dropped significantly from pre-test to post-test in patients who heard one preferred song of either live or recorded music before surgery," said Jaclyn Bradley Palmer, music therapist at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Ohio and lead author of the study. "In this trial, both live and recorded preoperative music therapy interventions reduced anxiety significantly more than usual preoperative management by 28 and 27 points, representing percent reductions of 43% and 41%, respectively.
"What we can conclude from our findings is that music therapy may effectively serve as a complementary modality during cancer surgery treatment," she continued. "A brief music therapy session has the ability to manage the anxiety that surrounds breast cancer surgery in a way that is effective, safe, time-efficient, and enjoyable."
While music therapy isn't available at all surgical centers, more and more clinics are starting to offer this type of complementary medicine technique.

Researching the Market
Editors always plead with authors to research the market before submitting manuscripts. This makes sense—it cuts down on the number of inappropriate submissions an editor may receive, and presumably will lower the chance of a manuscript getting rejected. But how, exactly, does one research a market that produces thousands of new products each year? I suggest a systematic, three-part approach which works for book and magazine publishers. This involves studying a publisher's overall list, individual books or issues, and their writers' guidelines. It doesn't matter which part you do first as long as you cover all three. (Note: Illustrators can use this same system to research potential illustration markets and then send for artists' guidelines.)
Overall lists.
But what if you receive several catalogs from large publishers and they all look the same? Then it's time to read the fine print and find the differences. Does HarperCollins seem to have an abundance of fiction picture books for ages 5-8? Then they might not be buying much for this age group for the next couple of years. Has another publisher just debuted a line of nonfiction chapter books? Maybe your chapter book on whales is just what they need. Do certain publishing giants tend to repackage classics from known authors rather than books from new writers? Pick another publisher who isn't afraid to feature new talent. Narrow down your number of potential markets.
Individual books or issues.
Writers' guidelines.

These are those that got away AFTER we had sex:
The nice pretty boy. We dated intensely as teenagers, I mistook his niceness for being boring. He wasn't boring, he sent me a six page letter stating how much he cared for me, and how much his feelings scared him and how that debilitated his opinion on anything. Barryless agreed with EVERYTHING I said, did, thought, until we broke up. When I see him nowadays, I think what if, but the power balance would never allow it - he still acts like a puppy around me - minus the uncontrollable urine.
Mr ASBO
If ASBOs were around when I was a teenager, he would have had the whole set. He was the ultimate bad boy, but he was a little too wayward for my teenage kicks... I left before his first arrest, imagine if I hadn't - I could have been the Bonnie to his Clyde! Eeek!
Obi Wank
He chased me, then I chased him. We had amazing sex. We just didn't chase each other at the same time. I would say I'm over him and never think of him, but that would be a MASSIVE untruth, there is even a blog dedicated to him, and all the things I should have said, would have done differently and could do...
That said if I had to choose being best friends for those years vs the unknown "what if"... I would go for the solid friendship - at least that was real. Even though we would be fucking great together.
To be continued...

Voices prophesying war : future wars, 1763-3749 I.F. Clarke Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 1992 Hardcover. Rev. ed. of: Voices prophesying war, 1763-1984. 1966. x, 268 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [218]-223) and index. Checklist of imaginary wars [in English, French, and German literature], 1763-1990: p. [224]-262. Clean, tight and strong binding with clean dust jacket. No highlighting, underlining or marginalia in text. VG/VG
In 1918, the American colonists were loyal subjects of the British crown, the British army crushed the Russians at Vienna with a roar of musketry and cavalry charges, the British navy unveiled its secret weapon (fireships), and the British king–after personally leading his men in battle – claimed the title of King of France. Or so went a less-than-accurate prediction from 1763 entitled The Reign of George VI, 1900-1925. It was the first of a long line of fiction forecasting the shape of wars to come.
In Voices Prophesying War, I.F. Clarke provides a fascinating history of this unusual genre – a strand of fiction that has revealed more about contemporary concerns than the direction of the future. The real surge of fiction about future wars, he writes, took place after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. Clarke skillfully evokes the context of fear and political tension that gripped Britain after the German victory as he describes a wave of stories that predicted a foreign conquest of England.
Starting with The Battle of Dorking (an account of a German invasion that was later translated and issued by the Nazis in 1940), forecasts of a future catastrophic war led to an invasion scare and a demand for military reforms. The French, too, fought fictional wars with Germany over Alsace-Lorraine (and occasionally with Britain), taking revenge in print for their humiliating defeat in 1871.
The tense years just before World War I spawned another surge of fiction predicting the next great war, (leading P. G. Wodehouse to publish a hilarious parody, The Swoop! or, How Clarence Saved England, depicting an attack by eight separate enemies on an England so indifferent that the newspapers report the invasion with the cricket scores).
But Clarke shows how the predictions were taken seriously by the public and the military authorities. In 1906, Field Marshal Lord Roberts collaborated on an invasion scare story to promote his campaign for a larger army (and the newspaper that published it had him reroute the invaders, to take them through its strongest markets). Ironically, the most accurate predictions (including a story about unrestricted submarine warfare by Arthur Conan Doyle) were derided as implausible.
Clarke follows the genre though to the present day, looking at how the Cold War shaped speculative war fiction and even science fiction accounts of conflict in the distant future. The end of the Cold War, he notes, has left writers floundering in their search for a believable enemy. No author, he writes, was as remarkably prescient as H.G. Wells, who foresaw atomic bombs as early as 1913. But, as Clarke shows, writers have yet to give up trying to predict the wars to come – offering a window into the fears of the present.

Sustainable design depends on a comprehensive understanding of a building's siting and systems, so it seems reasonable to assume a more integrated design and construction process could play a role in project success. But with certification to the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards becoming an increasingly common building owner goal, such assumptions require factual backing. New research is providing insight into using integrated design with LEED projects, and one contractor agrees with the findings wholeheartedly.
This article originally ran in the August 2010 issue of Electrical Contractor Magazine.

words and photos: T. Bird
Since as long as I can remember, I've been a fan of the Air & Style. When I first started snowboarding, clips from the event would appear in Mack Dawg films and catch my attention immediately. Terje's air-to-fakie up in the rafters. Jamie Lynn's frontside spins off the toes. Even David Benedek and Travis Rice battling it out at the advent of the double cork. They were prestigious. They were a spectacle. They were awesome.
And they still are, in many ways. Winning an Air & Style is still as prestigious as ever, albeit there are exponentially more contests now than there have ever been in snowboarding's history, what with FIS World Cups, Grand Prix, X Games, Dew Tour, the US Open, the Laax Open…so on and so forth. But with that said, an Air & Style win is still a descriptor, in that standing atop the podium at one of these events is still something that people will use to introduce you to other people. "Hey, that's (insert name here). He won the Air & Style in (insert year here)."
Last Saturday in Beijing, China, yet another unforgettable Air & Style event went down in the iconic Bird's Nest stadium smack dab in the heart of one of the biggest cities in the world. Thought he air quality was god awful, the quality of air was actually pretty amazing in the qualifiers. 30 of the best park jumpers on earth took to the behemoth of a kicker that sat atop one of the biggest scaffolding set ups I've ever seen and that 30 was whittled down to 16 by the night's end. Those lucky 16 were:
1. Mark McMorris
2. Sebastien Toutant
3. Darcy Sharpe
4. Marcus Kleveland
5. Mikey Ciccarelli
6. Roope Tonteri
7. Antoine Truchon
8. Mons Roisland
9. Clemens Millauer
10. Kalle Jaervilehto
11. Sebbe DeBuck
12. Moritz Thoenen
13. Jonas Boesiger
14. Tor Lundstrom
15. Mans Hedberg
16. Phillip Kundratitz
Those riders advanced to Semi-Finals on Saturday evening under the lights with a few thousand Chinese snowboard fans in attendance, and almost as many Chinese police keeping watch over the stadium. While in the qualifying round the riders got two hits on the kicker, in the Semi-Finals and Finals, they were given three, but with a caveat: Of the three attempts, two of the tries have to be spinning in different directions, so as to avoid a triple cork 1440 mute-off, so to speak. Not that this completely alleviated that, but it made it more interesting to watch and allowed the viewer to see a little variation in their runs.
The 16 riders in Semi-Finals had their three tries each and when the dust settled, it was the following eight riders that would go on to the Finals, and after a short intermission for the contestants to grab a bite to eat and the builders to give the jump a quick reshape, that's exactly what went down.
Sebastien Toutant got out to an early lead and he was looking strong and consistent throughout the night and it seemed like it was going to turn into the age-old battle of Sebastien vs. Mark McMorris. But what would an Air & Style be without a little drama from the underdogs, right? While Mark fell on his second hit, his Canadian counterpart Darcy Sharpe put down an insane frontside double cork 1260 nosegrab on his second run to compliment his first run backside triple cork 1440 and he snuck into third place. Norwegian wünderkid Marcus Kleveland shocked the entire field by putting down a Cab triple cork 1620 to pair with his backside triple cork 1440 and put him in first place going into the final runs of the night and Sebastien sat comfortably in second place with a backside triple cork 1440 and a frontside triple cork 1440. However, that left McMorris atop the scaffolding as the last rider to drop in the finals and everyone knows that nobody rides better than Mark when the heat is on. But, McMorris fell on his last attempt of the night and it was indeed Marcus Kleveland who took his first-ever Air & Style victory.
The Beijing Air & Style went off and kicked off the official Air & Style season tour. Next stops are Innsbruck, Austria and Los Angeles, California, so stay tuned for more coverage of the next two stops in the coming months.
