"Trypophobia is a proposed fear of "irregular patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps." I noticed myself having a visceral reaction when seeing images of this nature. An explanation resonated with me stating this reaction could be a defence mechanism alerting to poisonous elements in the environment. Various poisonous plants, animals and food sources exist which have this patterning.
What I wish to bring to focus in this painting is the awareness of self destructive patterns of behaviour upon the environment. More specifically in regards to the fossil fuel industry. The elements of water air and earth are threatened in the process of fossil fuel extraction. Visible detrimental changes to the environment and health are evident. I feel there needs to be an energetic metamorphosis in order to ensure the well being of future generations and all living creatures."

Ever since the rise of multiculturalism in the 1970s I have been wondering how come Jews never got included in the authorized list of oppressed multi-cultural entities. To be sure, Jews as individuals can play a role in multi-cultural life, but only as members of some other category, such as feminists or homosexuals. So far as I am aware, Jews who present themselves simply as Jews have never been considered oppressed enough to form a part of the multi-cultural universe. To the contrary, we are lucky if we are not lumped together with the oppressors.
How did this state of affairs come about? To some extent it must be attributed to the reluctance of Jewish Americans to adopt a stance of militant protest against manifestations of anti-Semitism in American society. The original constituents of the multi-cultural alliance, feminists, homosexuals and Afro-American militants, all sought to advance their cause through protest demonstrations. Jews found other ways of getting ahead, and so anti-Semitism never came to be considered as serious a problem, at least in the United States, as other forms of discrimination. This was all the more true in that one of the ways in which Jews sought to get ahead was by promoting a movement against discrimination in general without focusing on anti-Semitism in particular.
The name of this movement was liberalism and the way in which it opposed discrimination in general was through the concept of rights. Liberalism gave birth to civil rights, gay rights and women's rights, but oddly enough, even though Jews were among the mainstays of American liberalism, no one ever spoke of Jewish rights. The basic strategy of the mainstream American Jewish community was not to agitate for the right to be accepted as Jews but rather to become as American as possible. And since the United States was a country that prided itself on absorbing immigrants, this was not an unrealistic goal. At the same time that multiculturalism took hold in the 1970s in academia, Jews were already becoming a part of the academic establishment without any special need to draw attention to themselves as Jews. Jews achieved this position by rigorous scholarship devoted, in the main, to non-Jewish topics.
However, as time went on, there also emerged departments of Jewish studies in many colleges and universities. These departments were a reflection, on the one hand, of the growing acceptance of Jewishness in American culture, and on the other hand, of the example set by the proliferation of specialized departments catering to the concerns of the multiculturalists. But although there was no obvious difference between Jewish studies and black studies or women's studies, Jews were still not welcome as Jews at multi-cultural events. Moreover, certain stereotypes regarding Jewish culture gradually became established among the multiculturalists. The Jewish religion was a bastion of "patriarchy" and therefore bad, and the Jewish state, namely Israel, was founded on "racism", and therefore even worse. These stereotypes served to rationalize and legitimize the exclusion of Jews as Jews from the multi-cultural club. So at the same time as Jews were becoming increasingly accepted by ordinary Americans, Jews in academia were increasingly ghettoized by the multiculturalists.
The next step in the degeneration of multiculturalism into an instrument of anti-Semitism was the inclusion of the Muslims in the multi-cultural club. Islam came to be seen as the victim of unjustified prejudice, a prejudice which was stigmatized as "Islamophobia", a term obviously derived from "homophobia". Given the attitude of most Muslims towards homosexuals there was a certain irony here, but the term came to be accepted as the official name for dislike of Islam all the same. Departments of Middle Eastern studies took upon themselves the task of making known the achievements of Islamic culture and denouncing the false image of Islam which had previously been spread by non-Muslim "Orientalists". To anyone familiar with its history, Islam would not seem an obvious candidate for membership in a movement dedicated to tolerance and the celebration of "diversity", but it was included nonetheless, in large part because its advocates were able to successfully present themselves as the victims of prejudice. Unfortunately, in the real world the Muslims were themselves prone to prejudices of all kinds, and in particular, to the prejudice of anti-Semitism.
Muslim anti-Semitism has a long history dating back to Mohammed himself, who was directly responsible for the murder of many hundreds of Jews both in Medina and Khaybar. He sought to justify his actions with nasty remarks about the Jews which are scattered throughout the Koran. It follows that anyone who venerates Mohammed and regards the Koran as the word of Allah will be predisposed to a negative attitude towards the Jewish people. In the past this attitude generally took the form of contempt, but with the rise of the modern Zionist movement, the contempt gradually metamorphosed into violent rage. For the benefit of Western audiences this rage was packaged as righteous indignation over the treatment of the Palestinians by the Israelis. In this way an anti-Zionist component gradually became a major element in the multi-cultural concept of "political correctness". And basically because the Arabs and Muslims felt so strongly about the matter, this conponent took on an increasingly activist tone.
Thus arose the movement to boycott, divest and sanction anything Israeli. From the start this movement was centered in the academic world and those professions which were closely aligned with it. It was rooted in a multiculturalism that had somehow turned into its dialectical opposite. Starting as a way of championing the cause of "the other", multiculturalism has evolved into a violent assault on the original "other", the Jewish people. The term, "the other", used to designate someone who is "not one of us", was popularized by Simone de Beauvoir as a way of describing how men looked at women. But the term was previously used by her friend, Jean-Paul Sartre, in order to refer to the way that anti-Semites looked at Jews. Multiculturalists now look at Israel in this same way and despite their protestations to the contrary, it is self evident that denigration of the Jewish state is also a form of denigration of the Jewish people.
But of course we Jews have no one but ourselves to blame for striving to advance in American society without making a big issue of anti-Semitism. Is not the Christian religion profoundly anti-Semitic, not only because it blames the Jews for the death of Jesus, but also because it teaches that if you pretend to drink the blood and eat the flesh of Jesus once a week you will go to a pleasant place in the sky after you die? Yet we never said one word blaming the Christians for these teachings. We did not want to draw attention to just how pervasive anti-Semitism really is, because that would reinforce our status as "the other", which is the last thing that American Jews wanted to be. But in downplaying the issue of anti-Semitism, we made it possible for the multiculturalists to adopt all sorts of anti-Semitic attitudes without fear of criticism. Themselves ready to denounce the slightest deviation from "political correctness" as "racism" or "sexism", the multiculturalists do not hesitate to sit in judgment on the Jewish people without any real knowledge of who it is they are condemning.
Exclusion of the Jewish narrative from the multi-cultural canon has effectively concealed the fact that there is no people in human history that has been so subjected to persecution and abuse for so long as the Jewish people. The Arab and Muslim assault on the state of Israel is only the latest in a long series of anti-Jewish campaigns waged by Christians, Muslims and Communists alike, to say nothing of the pagans who preceded them and the Nazis who came after. For 3000 years the Jewish people has upheld the ideal of national self-determination in the land of Israel in order to implement there a more rational, egalitarian and peaceful way of life than was prevalent in the large kingdoms and empires that persecuted us. It was the Jewish way of life that was the ultimate source of all the progressive ideas associated with the influence of individual Jews in world history. And it is the Jewish way of life as reflected in Israeli liberal democracy, that is the real target of the authoritarian Arab and Muslim regimes arrayed against us.
In the final analysis, it is also rejection of the Jewish way of life which is the underlying motive for the anti-Zionist campaign of the multiculturalists. Multiculturalism is many things, but one thing it is not is a path to a more harmonious social order. It thrives in an academic environment where social criticism is an established norm but has little relevance for the day to day concerns of working people. There was a time when the left in the United States sought to address those concerns, but once the socialist left was defeated, the path was opened for the advent of a strictly liberal left dedicated to the personal and professional advancement of its multi-cultural constituents within the framework of the capitalist system. In the eyes of this liberal left, the traditional Jewish concern with the life of society as a whole appeared as a threat, and anti-Zionism was the method which it eventually evolved to deal with this threat.
So where do we go from here? The best way to discredit the anti-Semitic ideology of the multi-cultural left is to situate it in the context of the long history of anti-Semitism. It was always the practice of the anti-Semites to conceal their hostility to Jewish social values behind a mask of righteous indignation at the alleged crimes of the Jewish people. Demonization of Israeli self defense against Arab and Muslim terrorism is only the latest in a long series of such tactics. Now that we have departments of Jewish studies, they should be used to disseminate awareness of the contours of Jewish history to a wide audience. The better Jewish history is understood, the weaker will become the position of the multiculturalists. The Jewish people has played a progressive role in world history and will continue to play this role whether the multiculturalists like it or not..

Earlier in the day, the CBFC has suggested few modifications in "Padmavati", which include changing the film's title to "Padmavat", after which it would be given a UA certificate.
Latest update is that Central Board of Film Certification has reportedly chose to issue a U/A certificate to Padmavati provided certain suggested modifications are done including a change in the title. One of the key changes involve the renaming of the film from Padmavati to Padmavat. The movie has been given a UA certificate.Film Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali had earlier said that the movie was based on the 16th-century epic poem "Padmavat" by Malik Muhammad Jayasi. Arvind Singh from Udaipur, Dr Chandramani Singh and professor K K Singh of the Jaipur University were also included in the special panel.
CBFC sources say that the title will be changed from "Padmavati" to "Padmavat" and at least three different disclaimers have to be added during the course of the film, sources say.
Apple CEO Tim Cook's Annual Pay Jumps 47 Percent to $12.8 Million
Adding $89.2 million in equity award, Cook brought home a whopping $ 102 million in 2017, minus compensations. The pay increase came from a larger bonus because Apple beat its goals for annual sales and operating profit.
"This was an unprecedented and tough situation", Prasoon Joshi, chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), said in an email. However, the protest around the film grew more just ahead of its scheduled theatrical release on 1st December 2017.
CBFC has demanded modifications in the song "Ghoomar" to "befit" the character of Rajput queen Padmavati being portrayed by Padukone, and changes in the "incorrect/misleading reference to historical places".
Once Shahid Kapoor agreed to play the role, the film has been stuck into a soup because the Karni Sena seems to have a major problem with the film.
Turnovers give Mississippi State 31-27 win over Louisville
Thompson struggled with his accuracy against Ole Miss, but that shouldn't come as a surprise given his lack of experience. The Bulldogs were definitely one of the better teams in the SEC, as the No. 24 overall ranking would indicated.
Meanwhile, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit said that it will be a great day for the entire film industry and film lovers when the film will be on the screens.
"We will station our people outside cinema theatres and each hall showing the film will be vandalized", Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, president, Shree Rajput Karni Sena, told media in Jaipur. The film was finally submitted last month and Bhansali had himself requested a commitee of historians and members of the Rajput community view the film and facilitate its release. "They are in agreement with the modifications", the Board said.
Despite Bhansali claiming that no historical facts have been tampered with, the hue and cry around the film did not mitigate.

Watch how Ford created a Driver-less Car
Several weeks ago, the internet was abuzz with reports of a driver-less vehicle rolling through the streets of Arlington, Virginia. One of the most-anticipated technology updates that is endlessly teased at automotive events is autonomous technology, so people were obviously excited about the next step in the quest for driver-less cars.
However, this particular vehicle wasn't actually driver-less. A reporter was able to obtain video of the inside of the vehicle, which was inhabited by a man wearing a costume that made him look like an empty driver's seat. When that video went viral, most people shrugged it off as some sort of fun prank.

Ford Driver-less technology
Once the buzz of this perceived prank died down, Ford and Virginia Tech Transportation Institute stepped forward to acknowledge the incident, which wasn't actually a prank. The "driverless car" was part of an experiment to test how pedestrians and other drivers reacted to the vehicle without the non-verbal cues that are normally given while driving.
The test vehicle is outfitted with a flashing light bar at the top of the windshield that can signal to pedestrians that it is safe to cross, or letting other drivers know the vehicle is going to begin to accelerate. When the vehicle is yielding for a pedestrian or other obstacle, two lights move side to side and if the car is about the accelerate, the four lights will begin to blink. This research will help create a standardized system that will keep people safe as we edge towards autonomous driving.
While you can't get a self-driving vehicle yet, there are plenty of new 2018 Ford models that are chock full of new technology features. Vehicles like the 2018 Ford Flex have advanced safety technology like active park assist. You can learn more about the features and vehicles available by contacting Sanders Ford for more information.

Fiddling with fabrics and women's lib!
I pleated, rather than draped the fabric because I tried using a home-made starch from a recipe on the internet. It didn't work, but it did make me think about how long it had been since I had starched anything --we may be talking 50 years here, since ironing my brother's shirts was one of my household jobs! There's another one for the Mini-nuts: you know you're a mini-nut when you start doing things that women haven't had to do for half-a-century!
So here's to drip-dry, no-iron, no-starch, and boys ironing their own clothing! That's why we have time for minis.
The other mini-ing was a detour back to my first, now suspended-- blog. Also having to do with fabrics. Read it here. These are the fabrics:

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said on Wednesday that Home Ministry officials would be present as witnesses in the second hearing into the e-ID card case. The hearing is scheduled to be held on Thursday at the Jakarta Corruption Court.
"[On Thursday] we will delve into the budgeting aspects [of the e-ID case]. There will be witnesses from the Home Ministry at tomorrow's hearing," said Febri Diansyah, a spokesperson with the KPK.
Febri also confirmed that there would be eight witnesses in Thursday's hearing, but declined to give details to the press on their identity.
Earlier, the antigraft body slapped a travel ban on several witnesses related to the case and the two defendants, former Home Ministry officials Irman and Sugiharto. Among the witnesses who have been banned from traveling abroad are Isnu Edhi Wijaya, the former chairman of State Printing Company Consortium, Anang Sugiana, the director of Quadra Solution – a company that allegedly received bribes in the case, and Andi Agustinus, aka Andi Narogong, who was a supplier in the Rp 5.9 billion project.

LULA – The small town that ventured into a big-time waste treatment business (an endeavor usually reserved for much larger municipalities) is venturing even further.
Lula city council members heard from City Manager Dennis Bergin Monday evening at their work session that what some considered a risky investment by the town of less than 3,000 residents over a decade ago, is now doing quite well.
"This is the first year where you'll be (able to) stand on your own," Bergin told council. "And against revenues now you are $90,000 to the good."
"And we're well under our budget right now," Bergin added.
Bergin expanded on his statements after the meeting by saying, "This is the first fiscal year, full fiscal year that we're standing on our own. In the past we relied on SPLOST funding, but (now) we're not relying on SPLOST."
And just ahead for the northeastern Hall County community is a planned $1.4-million expansion of their sewer line system. Five-hundred planned new homes have been identified as customers for the new sewer line with more in the future. "We're probably not even touching the surface on that."
Bergin said the city still owes $1.1-million on the original loan to build the $12-million treatment plant, but he called that balance "manageable".
"The council has considered in recent months whether or not we accelerate the payment of that," Bergin said, but the decision was instead to grow the footprint of service provided by the treatment plant since it still has much more capacity to offer, hence the application to secure $1.4-million of financing from the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA).
Regarding the status of that loan application, Bergin said, "It has tentative approval."
Paying off the GEFA loan is calculated on a 20-year term according to Bergin, "and is based on future tap fees" and continued competitive pricing for sewer service in the growing SR 365-corridor.
Bergin pointed out that even as the system grows an emphasis is being placed on reducing individual unintended use of the system. The week of March 19th has been declared "Fix A Leak" week in Lula.
The city council is urging all residents to inspect their homes and check for leaking or dripping faucets and toilets.
Bergin said, "We try to put an emphasis on this once a year…springtime seems to be a good time."
"As an example, a drip, drip, drip by one of your faucets…is unbelievable how much water over a month's period of time…is over 2,400-gallons."
"So is it worthwhile to replace or repair that faucet?" Bergin asked rhetorically. "I guarantee it is!"
"We actually do offer a toilet rebate on low-flow fixtures," Bergin said.
For more on "Fix A Leak" week contact Bergin and his staff at (770) 869-3801.

CORWITH TWP. — Firefighters are at the scene of a structure fire on Huffman Lake Road about 2 miles southwest of Vanderbilt.
Strong southwest winds are fanning the blaze and flames were contained to the roof and attic areas of the ranch home at 1683 Huffman Lake Road when firefighters from the Vanderbilt-Corwith Township Fire Dept. and Otsego County Fire Dept. arrived.
Departments responded to the 9-1-1 dispatch call around 1:45 p.m.
According to reports from police scanners, dispatchers received a 9-1-1 call of a report of a fire at the Huffman Lake Road residence. Two men driving past the residence reportedly saw smoke coming from the roof and attic vents and contacted 9-1-1.
When the men stopped to tell the occupants their house was on fire, they at first reportedly did not believe the men — allegedly stating the smoke was coming from an outdoor woodstove.
Once they realized their house was on fire, the occupants reportedly left their home to safety.

Asahi Shimbun makes long-overdue corrections over 'comfort women'
From JapanNews
There is no doubt that a large number of women, including those from the Philippines and Indonesia, had their honor and dignity injured during World War II. There may have been cases deemed inexcusable from a present-day human rights perspective, even if no coercive action was taken by the prewar government and the military.
Still, it is necessary to discuss two issues related to the whole controversy as separate matters—that is, how to deal with sex-related issues facing soldiers and whether the Japanese wartime military was involved in forcibly recruiting women for the provision of sex.
Questions can be asked as to the appropriateness of calling the Japanese government to task by insisting coerciveness was prevalent in the provision of sex by those women in a broad sense of the term. We believe focusing on such questions is an attempt to sidestep the real issue.Gaining a proper perception of history requires thorough efforts to uncover the whole truth behind any historical issue.

SUPER Hornet jets from the Royal Australian Air Force base at Amberley will return to the Evans Head Air Weapons Range next week for training operations.
The twin-engine F/A 18F fighter jets are expected to arrive on February 10, and training will include live air-to-ground gunnery, and a week of night operations.
Commander of Air Combat Group, Air Commodore Tony Grady, said air-to-ground gunnery operations returned to Evans Head last year for the first time since the 1980s, when those operations were conducted by F-111 aircraft.
He said it was an important milestone for Defence.
In the interest of public safety, access to the southern overwater Defence Practice Area will be restricted.
Air Commodore Grady, said six weeks of air-to-ground gunnery operations were planned on the range during the first six months of the year.
"The Evans Head Air Weapons Range Community Advisory Panel, representing local Northern Rivers communities, met in December last year with 82 Wing representatives from RAAF Base Amberley and local range personnel to discuss the training schedule with a view to minimising the impact on the communities adjacent to the range," Air Commodore Grady said.
From February 10 to 14, the southern overwater DPA will be closed between midday and 5pm during air-to-ground gunnery operations.
Further training is planned for March and May.
"Defence personnel will operate a 'red flag' system whenever the Range is active," Air Commodore Grady said.
"Flags are erected at key points on the boundary to signal fast jets are operating on the range.
"Range personnel patrol the area to ensure people don't stray inside while operations are being conducted."

Two Powerful Allies:
An interview with Nancy
Mending the Body and Minding the Soul
CranioSacral Therapy and Flower Essence Therapy are powerful allies in the realm of mind-body healing work. The two therapies can work effectively in tandem to reveal emotional and mental patterns that manifest in the body. Nancy Kern is a practitioner based in Houston, Texas, who attests to their synergistic benefits with her clients. She works with pediatric clients whose parents are seeking alternatives. They have not received answers from the traditional medical community and have endured many traumatic and painful experiences. Below are some case highlights from her impressive healing program.
Oregon Grape: Establishing Trust with Young Children
Many babies and small children have a history of birth trauma, and simply do not want to be touched. Nancy initiates therapy with Oregon Grape flower essence to support these young clients through their initial fear of the healing relationship. These feelings are usually based upon a prior experience of a medical intervention that was extremely frightening and painful, even if done out of medical necessity. Oregon Grape works with many issues of misperceived hostility or paranoia and Nancy regards it as the perfect essence to help young clients overcome feelings of external threat and distrust. She works in the first session to establish herself as a safe person to be around; helping the child to release their anger or fear, a strategy that benefits the parents as well.
Topical Applications of Madia or Fuchsia During Client Sessions
Madia or Fuchsia flower essences are ideal essences when a child is agitated, and cannot make contact in the therapy session. A case example involves Sherry, an autistic child who was "all over the studio, knocking into walls." Nancy was "duck-walking," exhaustedly following her and attempting to make contact. She applied Madia essence to the top of Sherry's head followed by Fuchsia. Nancy observed a remarkable wave of calm pass through the child. Sherry became still and sat for twenty minutes while Nancy worked. Her mother was astonished and had never seen her daughter respond in such a striking manner.
Resolving a Toddler's Ear Infections with Arnica
Nancy has learned that Arnica is often the best essence for trauma-induced conditions, and is a more effective choice than essences such as Shooting Star or Angelica. She relates the case of two-year old Anna, who was connected to an internal fetal monitor during the birthing process. The child had a history of repeated ear infections, had been treated frequently with antibiotics, and showed weak lung function. By the time Anna was six months old, she needed ear tubes. Anna absolutely would not let Nancy touch her head; she kept pushing her hands away and attempted to avoid Nancy by climbing onto her mother's chest. Nancy gave the mother a stock bottle of Arnica, and advised her to use it in Anna's bath, in her shampoo, and any other way that would bring the remedy in contact with the child's head, even putting it into Anna's juice.
Upon returning for their appointment two weeks later, the difference was remarkable. Anna sat still, the chaotic energy surrounding her head was gone, and outer layers of stress were dispelled, resulting in a noticeable energetic shift.
Anna continues to use Arnica and no longer has ear infections, nor does she need ear tubes. Anna's mother has treated her with vitamins and supplements as well. With enough improvement in the acute condition, they are now getting into structural realignments and root causes. On one occasion, Nancy and Anna's mother supported her gently while she cried deep tears, an emotional release of the separation and trauma she experienced at birth. Following that release of grief, she was given Calendula essence to increase her receptivity. With each session, Anna has indeed become more and more receptive to Nancy's work and will soon be on "maintenance" visits. Anna is calm and allows Nancy to work for about 30-40 minutes. In working with young clients, Nancy strikes a balance between doing the work and allowing the child to relax and play; she often sits behind them on the table, while their mothers' read to them, sing, or play with them. Or, as Nancy explains, it's common for someone doing CranioSacral therapy with children to follow their movements. Some children actually re-enact their birth process—even more than once—pushing, turning, or perhaps going off the table and mimicking the birth process. Nancy encourages these expressions and may work with both the mother and baby on various bonding or emotional issues.
Head Trauma Addressed with Arnica and CranioSacral Therapy
Nancy described the powerful effects of Arnica in another case involving a woman with traumatic head injuries from a car accident. The woman had had plastic surgery to remove the glass from her skull, but her surgeon had told her that at some point, she might find still more tiny bits of glass. Nancy worked with her client to release fears and traumatic emotion caused by the accident. She applied a topical dose of Arnica on the region of the forehead and did "tissue unwinding," a cranial technique utilizing light touch. In this technique, the therapist is working with the micro movements residing in the injured tissues and the fingers move and work in the reverse direction along the pathway of an injury. Nancy believes that both Arnica and subtle bodywork are much more powerful when used in tandem. In particular, Arnica facilitates the process of reclaiming and healing traumatic memories. After using this technique with the client, more glass fragments were actually released from her scar tissue!
Progressive Healing for a Child Suffering from Seizures
Many young clients have complex and challenging issues requiring careful work through various layers of emotional experience. Nancy relates a case spanning two years with Lisa, who was suffering from infantile seizures and a brain virus when she first began treatment at 18 months old. Lisa was born by caesarian section, along with a twin who has no medical problems. The labor and delivery were challenging for Lisa's mother who contracted an infection and was hospitalized for three days.
In her first sessions with Nancy, Lisa would often scream, kick or fight. Nancy first saw results with Lisa by using Oregon Grape. The angry behavior dissipated, and her mother reports it occurs only infrequently when Lisa is exposed to many people in a new environment. During one of these instances, Lisa's mother brought her to see Nancy on their way home from the airport; she was frantic and restless. After an hour, Lisa was placid and lucid again. If her daughter goes too long without treatment, Lisa's mother feels she loses contact with her, but after a session with Nancy, their rapport is re-established.
Nancy describes Lisa as "a child trapped between seizures, digestive upsets, and not being able to communicate verbally—a feeling of being so frustrated, with a fear of the painful seizures." A key remedy to help transform Lisa's anger and open her feelings of connection with others was Holly, applied topically to the front, back, and crown of her head. Lisa also receives other therapeutic intervention and Blackberry has been an important essence to stimulate her will to master the challenges of these healing programs.
As Lisa released various forms of energy trapped in her body, Snapdragon was used for her tendency to bite. This flower essence was applied topically to her jaw, and also administered internally, resulting in a marked change in her biting behavior. (Nancy notes that Snapdragon is quite helpful for her adult clients with intense issues regarding job stress, TMJ, or teeth-clenching. She recommends that it be used in baths, externally on the jaw area or even on one's toothbrush.)
Lisa has reached a place of stability and vitality and Nancy is able to work in increasing levels of depth with her. As the emotional layers are peeled away, Lisa has gone through a healing transformation and has become increasingly receptive to deep structural work; she remains calm and sometimes even falls asleep.
Rosemary Provides Immediate Transformation for an Infant
A mother consulted with Nancy because she felt that her four-month old baby boy, Christopher, was not "present." He appeared dissociated, was pale, had cold hands and feet, and bowel movements just twice a week. Nancy used Rosemary topically and could see Christopher pink up immediately. The transformation was quite dramatic and amazing—a vitality appeared that wasn't there before. He also had a bowel movement! Nancy observed, "that's what is so beautiful working with babies—how little it takes for them to shift and experience being in their bodies."
NANCY KERN is a CranioSacral Therapist and a certified practitioner
with the Flower Essence Society. After graduating in pre-law
studies from Rice University in 1975, she pursued her passion
for art and healing. Nancy began to use Bach flower essences
in 1977, when she was working as an apprentice lay midwife. Following
the home birth of her first child in 1978, she became a massage
therapist specializing in polarity energy work. In 1984 she took
a 9-year hiatus from her practice in bodywork to earn a graduate
degree in painting, become the mother of two more children and
embarked on a demanding inner journey of deep recovery using
energy work and shamanism.

WEST HAVEN, Jan. 12, 2015 —
It was only about a year ago that West Haven High School student
Tatiana Gay found herself at her first debate team tournament, vying
against students from other states and even another country in a special
competition. Brand new to the WHHS Urban Debate League team, she was a
last-minute replacement for another member who couldn't attend.
"I remember asking kids on other schools' teams how
long they've been debating, and some said since seventh grade. When they
asked me how long I'd been doing this, I told them, 'Oh, about a couple
hours,'" she recalled. "I did so bad at the tournament, they didn't
even want to tell me what place I came in. I was dead last, but people
said, 'You survived though."
Gay did more than just "survive" at subsequent local
tournaments against area high-schoolers—she stole the show. The
determined and ambitious WHHS senior has become a top-ranked debater in
the Yale University-run New Haven Urban Debate League, coming in first
place in multiple tournaments this year, and has secured a spot at the
Liberty Bell Classic, a parliamentary debate invitational at the
University of Pennsylvania Feb. 13-15. The league is composed of debate
teams from area schools.
She is the only WHHS student who qualified for the UPenn event, and will attend with students from New Haven-area schools.
"I'm surprised at how far I've come. I was in last
place last year. But that just gave me motivation for this year. I love
doing debate," Gay said.
She seemed to have a knack for it even when she was a
youngster. Her mom has told Gay she would debate everything as a little
"When people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say a lawyer. They were like, 'Perfect!'" she quipped.
Gay came onto the WHHS Urban Debate League team as a
junior and unsure of tournament structure or exactly how it all worked.
She soon learned that students compete in categories based on
experience—novice and varsity—and either solo or on a team of two to
three people. The WHHS team meets weekly with a Yale University
student-coach to practice public speaking and tournament strategies and
debate general topics that teams receive before tournaments.
On competition days, students learn the specific
subject they will be debating, their partner for the team division, and
the side they will represent, and have about 15 minutes to prepare.
Judges critique debaters after the presentations on the amount of time
used for arguments, confidence, eye contact, and even hand movements.
"They're all just good skills to have. It all comes
much easier now to me," said Gay, who also has practice from speaking at
her church.
Another thing that's helped her? The WHHS Advanced
Placement (college-level) Government and Politics class she took junior
year, given its coverage of amendments and rights, which are popular
debate topics. This year's Urban Debate League subjects have included
universal healthcare, vaccinations, hate crime punishments, student
discipline in public schools and banning cigarettes.
At a competition this October, Gay was named the top
varsity speaker and came in fifth place in the category of varsity
teams. At a special December tournament that included around 20 teams
composed of approximately 40 students, she and her partner for the day, a
student at New Haven's Sound School, debated before a crowd of around
120 people and came in first place, each earning a $500 scholarship and a
Though she is busy preparing for the UPenn
invitational and will face off against area students in additional local
tournaments throughout the rest of the year, Gay has another major task
to cross off her senior year to-do list: sorting through acceptance
letters from nine colleges. She's planning on majoring in forensic
science, but hopes to still be a part of a debate team in college—even
if she has to start one on her own.
WHHS history teacher and debate team adviser Mark Consorte called Gay's progress on the debate team "remarkable."
"She has become very sharp, aggressive and convincing.
She is a great teammate as well; working with a partner, she is able to
quickly brainstorm thoughtful responses and build arguments and
strategy," he said. "Tatiana has shown great leadership too, helping the
younger members of our debate team become better. We're very proud of

Something with Robots and T*ts
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Industry | July 27, 2009 |
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Industry | July 27, 2009 |
I had the pleasure Thursday night of attending the "Stargate Universe" launch party, which let you mingle with the actors and writers of the show in addition to seeing the full trailer for the first time. They've since made it available online here:
"Stargate" has always been like a series of one-night stands. They're fun, look good, and you forget everything about them as soon as the next one comes along. They're not the show you introduce your friends to, obsess over, or passionately bury yourself in. As such, "Stargate Universe" was a bit of a surprise. The trailer actually looked really good, going somewhere distinctly different from the previous two entries in the franchise, while maintaining the built up context of that universe.
The basis of the series is that a mismatched group of characters goes through a "Stargate" and accidentally ends up stranded on a ship from which they can't get home. It seems to take on a much darker tone than the previous two series, although it's difficult to say for sure without actually seeing an episode or two whether that's just PR and trailer work.
So that's the short version. The long (and self indulgent) version follows.
The launch party was held on a rooftop downtown about two blocks from Comic-con. I walked up Fifth street, which was blocked off for pedestrians for the duration of the Con. A platoon of roller girls dressed like the roller derby team in "Whip It!" skated up the street blowing up a cacophony with whistles. Ellen Page wasn't actually among them, or I would have stowed her in my tote bag for safe keeping in the Pajiba vault. In the other direction, a horde of bikini-topped zombies from the Zombieland booth shambled in unison down the sidewalk. It could have been an epic Westside Story brawl, but alas the groups passed as ships in the night.
I was the first in line outside the bar, and a dozen or so others lined up in quick succession. A PR guy douched up to the front of the line and ordered the two guards to let in his buddy and his three girlfriends, who were busy pretending to have sex with the driver of the pedi-cab that they took up from the Con. They scurried up the elevator falling out of their dresses while us honest invitees had to wait until eight o'clock sharp when the word came down to let us unwashed souls in amongst the pretty people. I gave my name to the guard inside and caught a glimpse of the guest list. It was alphabetized and mine was the first name after Joss Whedon's, although his was highlighted yellow. The next two people in line weren't on the guest list and argued with the guard. The elevator came, the other guard shrugged, and I rode up the elevator alone.
Other than a couple dozen security and hotel staff, about 50 people milled around the roof, none of them the "talent" that was referred to throughout the night. Fake tans and tiny dresses hanging on fake tits were the uniform for the women there, and all the men wore matching fake tans, fitted-T's or button-up shirts with rolled up sleeves and meticulously mussed $100 hair cuts. None of them wanted to talk to me in the least.
I went to the bar, asked for the darkest beer they had and got something amber that I could see through. There's always a hotel staffer in charge of these things, the queen of shit, she's responsible for all the irritating shitty details and struts around with a walkie talkie and a tight-lipped faux politeness. It's almost always a woman, and she almost always is very short, very skinny, and pretty but not overly so. Something about the OCD inherent to the job must kick their metabolisms into psychotic overdrive. I avoided her because she's always too busy to talk to people because she has to talk to her walkie talkie instead.
I wandered around a bit, make the rounds through the crowd, slowly filling out as invitees are allowed through the guest list and onto the elevator. One of the security guards told me that this is their first big event at the rooftop bar, and if it goes well they're hoping for more. He also told me that the security has been instructed that they are not to stop anyone from doing anything at this party, and so if some of these women strip down and hop in the shallow pool backlit by a Stargate logo, so much the better. He clearly put a lot of thought into the possibilities of the scenario. I asked "If I'm the first one in the pool, you'll throw me out, won't you?" The guard grinned, said he had to make his rounds and walked away.
I ran into a distracted woman who is clearly one of the press and asked her whom she is with. She has never heard of Pajiba but she's from IO9 and has her own photographer there. She spent ten minutes explaining to the photographer exactly what shots she wants. The photographer then spent most of the night sitting by himself eating appetizers. The woman, who clearly had something on the line but no actual authority, took all the pictures herself. I spotted a quartet of individuals who also look like press (they're not that pretty and one of the guys is wearing a "Han Shot First" t-shirt). Turns out they're all from Miramax. I made small talk for a few minutes before one of them announced that they needed to mingle. They excused themselves and then walked 20 feet away and talked amongst themselves again. I decided it was time to try the special glowing Stargate cocktail being distributed by waitresses filtering through the growing crowd.
After six frustrating drinks, it became abundantly clear that the drinks were so watered down that it would actually be legal to package them as bottled water. I adjourned to the restroom, took the only normal-sized urinal, and shortly another man entered and used the kiddie urinal to my left. He wasn't shy, maybe they were giving him actual alcohol. He lamented that not only is his wife the star of the party, and his only responsibility is refilling her drink, but now he gets stuck with the kid's urinal. "Look at the bright side." I said. "You can claim you have to use it, because otherwise you scrape the urinal cake." He laughed, introduced himself as Parker. He explained that his wife was in charge of production for "Stargate Universe." I explained that I was a writer with Pajiba, and lamented that it did not appear anyone wanted to talk to me. Parker noted that it was strange since the entire point of this party was to butter up the press to the show, and invited me to speak to anyone he happened to be speaking to, because they probably would be people who mattered. He started to hold out a hand to shake and the apologized that "a gentleman wouldn't offer an unwashed hand to shake." I demurred and declared that "a truly dedicated journalist would shake it anyway."
We left the men's room and found that Kevin Sorbo (who is not in "Stargate Universe," and therefore is an odd appearance) was the first "talent" to arrive. I found a seat while an older woman bearing a striking resemblance to Paula Dean talked to Kevin for ten minutes about Mobile, Alabama. At one point the DJ started up a brisk bass line and Kevin started white guy dancing. Two feet in front of my face, Kevin Sorbo gyrated his ass in tight jeans. Sadly, I am of the approximately half the population who would not truly appreciate the sight. I did learn that Kevin has four films in the pipeline for the next year, two for SyFy and two features. He had just flown in from southeast Asia from a shoot that involved wading through alligator infested waters at length and next was heading to Michigan for a different film. Another tidbit: he lost 25 pounds in the few months after "Hercules" was cancelled when he stopped working out for two hours every day. He also lamented that his show got canned, while its lesbian spin-off gathered a huge cult following (he wasn't being derogatory if that's how it sounds in print, just emphasizing the off-the-wallness of the spin off that outperformed the original). The Paula Dean look alike asked, "Xena was a lesbian?"
A bit later, a gorgeous redhead swooped in and started asking Kevin for advice on how to get into acting, and he did rather graciously offer some bits and pieces of advice and compliments until his handler swooped in and steered him off to talk to no one else. I took that moment to step in and ask the question I'd prepared for each of the actors I would speak to this evening. With no financial limitations of any kind, no problems with getting rights or permissions, what movie would you make and what role would you play? I figured, I didn't have a fancy tape recorder like the other reporters, so I had to actually remember exactly what I was told. And what good would it be to ask about the show and hear the carefully memorized press releases? In any case, it sounded a bit more original than "If you were a tree, what kind would you be?"
Kevin thought for a few moments and said, "you know, what I really want to do is a romantic comedy, something light hearted." I thanked him, shook his hand, wished him an excellent evening and moved on.
I approached a trio of middle aged men heatedly discussing the role of CGI and actors in the future. I thought that they might be writers since they clearly weren't pretty people but weren't carrying bags and tape recorders like the journalists. Two of the men insisted that while actors were important, perfect CGI meant that their appearance could be effectively "skinned" on. The third man, who looked a bit like Jeffrey Katzenberg, argued that while he might sound like an analog dinosaur, he felt that actors brought something indefinable that layered CGI always ruined. I interjected that perhaps the problem was that most directors who used too much CGI used it as a purely technical tool under their absolute control and thus stripped out any soul brought to the art by the CGI wizards. Perhaps the solution was to utilize the effects crew as artists just like the actors rather than as technicians. There was a long pause before the Jeffrey Katzenberg look alike pointedly shook the other two men's hands and all three walked away in different directions.
I mingled a bit more, wandering through the crowd. Actors had begun to show up one by one from the extra special "talent" entrance, each descended upon in moments by journalists with miniature recorders foisted towards mouths that for the most part just said the same thing different ways. Great show, had a lot of fun, really excited.
I ran into a pair of normal people, Anna and Adam. Adam was a journalist from the UK just waiting for them to do the little presentation of the trailer so he could leave. Funny guy, he wasn't there for a specific company, so he told everyone very Britishly that he just wrote for the entire UK, he was that important. Anna was a bubbly screenwriter who had done a bit of work on Stargate and had snuck into this event in order to wrangle a writing gig out of the new show. She was busy trying to fold a jacket around her bag so that she didn't look so much like a journalist. She asked if I knew what Brad Wright and Robert Cooper (the executive producers) looked like since they were the top of the food chain, but I didn't.
The presentation started then as two of the three guys who had been talking about CGI so animatedly (faux Jeffrey Katzenberg included), mounted a little platform, took the microphones, and introduced themselves as Brad and Rob. I explained to Adam and Anna my earlier conversation. "Good thing you're not here looking for a writing gig." Anna observed. "Of course the way these things work, you could end up running Miramax by the end of the night."
I explained that previous conversation, and Adam said "you're just not having a good night are you?"
"I got to watch Kevin Sorbo wiggle his ass, so I've always got that." I said.
Brad and Rob talked for a couple of minutes. Great show, had a lot of fun, really excited. Then they ran the trailer and the shindig continued unabated.
I spotted Ming-Na Wen a bit later, an absolutely stunning woman in person, especially when she's dressed in leopard print and high heels. She's fairly tall, having about a half inch on me with her heels. A journalist was just finishing up with her. Great show, had a lot of fun, really excited. I introduced myself to Ming-Na (she had not heard of Pajiba, I'm afraid) and asked her my one mighty question.
She stalled a little, asked a couple of questions to try to limit the scope of the question, but I insisted, "is there any story, it can be Shakespearean, it can be something your cousin scribbled down on a bar napkin, that you just want to see as a film?" Something in that rephrasing made an answer click for her.
Ming-Na explained that while she was doing voiceover work for a project at Ellis Island she'd come across the story of Anna May Wong, who was one of the Asian-American pioneers of film in the twenties and thirties. She said Anna May Wong is one of the four statues (and the only Asian American actress) outside the Chinese theater in Hollywood. Ming-Na Wen didn't have a script or anything so developed, but ever since she'd learned the story of Ms. Wong, she had wanted to play her in a film.
Another of the "Stargate Universe" actresses, Elyse Levesque, scurried up as quickly as heels and a very tight skirt allowed. Elyse was very tall, maybe six or seven inches more so than Ming-Na, and wearing a skin tight pink dress. She's very pretty, and as hyper and excited to be there as a kid on Christmas. Ming-Na greeted her as "honey bunny" and Elyse said that she was leaving to go to bed because she was exhausted and their schedule had them getting up before five o'clock. The two actresses ran off to take pictures of each other on their cell phones against the edge of the roof, with the "Stargate Universe" logo projected in the background against the next building.
I turned around and almost ran into a journalist blathering at Robert Carlyle without pausing for breathes, blinks, or sentence breaks. Great show, had a lot of fun, really excited. Wait, isn't that what the actors are supposed to be saying? "So we'll write a great review of the show, and I am so excited to be working with you and covering the show for the next few seasons. I'm so looking forward to talking to you on conference calls."
Conference calls? We're doing something wrong Dustin, we're supposed to have conference calls with people. Hey fan boy, nobody likes conference calls. And just because someone gave you a recorder and a spot on the guest list doesn't give you license to hump the leg of an actor you like. Promising the dick-sucking reviews you're going to give in advance? At least pretend to have some fucking integrity. The best part was that he still had his recorder going throughout his monologue. Carlyle looked like he was hoping his character died by the end of the second episode.
"Hi, Mr. Carlyle, my name's Steven, I'm a journalist." We shook hands.
"What can I do for you, Steven-the-journalist?" He asked.
"Well I work for a smaller site and we can't afford tape recorders and conference calls, so I thought I'd just ask you one really good question instead." I said.
He nodded, had a tight grin on his face, asked what the question was and I obliged. Carlyle's face lit up and he began talking in a low voice, hardly audible over the background electronica, Scottish accent flavoring all of the vowels. "Benny Lynch." He said. "Boxer. 110 pounds. First Scottish world champion of anything. But it didn't count, because he didn't beat an American." Carlyle's eyes glowed, he looked down at the floor, not at me. He talks about what an incredible fighter Lynch was, meets my eyes for a moment of pride as he says "my grandfather saw him fight once." Lynch died when he was only 32, the cause listed as "malnutrition". When you drink yourself to death, you die of starvation in measures. "At the end, he'd travel from town to town in Scotland. He'd charge six pence to let anyone fight him. Big fucking miners beating the shit out of Benny." Carlyle talked about Lynch for a few minutes, then seemed to wake up and shifted to the particulars of the asked question. "I've got a script already, but I'm too old now to play Benny Lynch, I'd have to find someone for that."
Carlyle looked me in the eye, a veritable playful twinkle in his. "So now, tell me a bit about yourself Steve-the-journalist. Tell me about who you write for."
"We're a small site." I said. "Pajiba." A blank look, but that means he was actually listening not just smiling and nodding. "Rhymes with vagina." I tried.
"Now I'll remember it." He smiled. "Tell me about it."
"Well, we write really long reviews, at least a thousand words each to really get into the movie or show." I explained. "And we don't normally get to do them in advance because we won't promise good reviews. If "Stargate Universe" sucks, I'm going to write six pages explaining why it sucks."
Carlyle took my hand and shook it. "That's the way you've got to do it. Don't stop doing that and you'll make it."
I thanked Carlyle and moved off in the crowd. I wandered around a while longer, but I'd talked to all of the apparent "talent" and most of the interesting looking other people.
I departed and found my train, had a mostly one-side conversation with a very drunk man with leathery skin and a large paper bag with an alphanumeric code written on the side in sharpie. He explained that he'd just been released from prison a few hours previously. I asked my new and terrifying friend what film he would make and star in. He thought for a moment and said "something with robots and tits" and started cackling.
Having met Michael Bay's long lost brother, I left at my stop, and headed for bed.

Work on changing the wheel sets are performed on a mechanized point or designated repair station routes, which for this purpose should have a supply of serviceable wheel pairs different in type and diameter of the wheel, lifting equipment and the necessary adaptations. The procedure works by changing wheel pairs depends on the design and type of trucks, cars, availability of lifting and other repair facilities.
For four-wagons to trucks with cast side frames and wheel sets with plain bearings this order is as follows:
raised end of the car, under which is a cart with a faulty wheel pair on vysotu450-500 mm;
roll out a cart and podklinivayut serviceable wheelset;
boxen defective wheelset removed tamping material and soybean oil;
valve using a yoke engages the middle part of the axis of the defective wheel set, rear end of the truck to a height of 2/3 the diameter of the wheel;
under the side frames (closer to a faulty wheel pair) set two small stavlyugi or goats. When lowering the bogie wheel set, coming out of the axle boxes of box rails, back on the rails, liners removed from the housing and bearings, for which several lift axle box in front of them, remove the boxes, inspect and clean them, replace faulty washers and dust of box covers;

If you are living in a relatively modern community, then it is safe to say that you may have heard about landscaping. For those who don't know, landscaping is the process of altering the existing design of a home or a place and making it look more attractive, or modern. This is especially great for older places where the owners want to keep up with all the modern trends.
With that said, changing an architect is never an easy thing, but if you hire a professional firm who can do that for you, then it comes much easier because then you do not have to worry about going wrong with the design language or anything. Speaking of land marking firm, I would suggest that you hire https://www.normark.com.au/. They're experts at what they do, and will ensure that your experience goes smoothly. Below are some of the benefits of hiring a landscape firm.
The Firms Know What They Are Doing
This is as simple as it gets; whenever you are hire a landscaping firm, they always know what they are doing. Sure, they will treat every house differently, but the main thing here is that they will never compromise on the work that is being done. So you don't have to worry about any such thing.
They Are Efficient
Another benefit that should not come as a surprise to anyone is the fact that the landscape firms are efficient at what they are doing. They won't be slacking, or taking too much time just to get the basics right. As a matter of fact, they will handle out everything in a properly planned procedure so you will not have the chance to unnecessarily worried about things not happening on time, or hitting roadblocks either.

We offer different vehicles types to suit your needs. To learn more about the different type of vehicles please visit our Fleet page.
Each vehicle has a capacity for a different number of passengers and pieces of luggage. You will find details on our passenger and luggage limit per vehicle by visiting our Fleet page.
If you exceed the maximum passenger or luggage capacity of each vehicle you will be required to upgrade the vehicle type or book an additional vehicle. The driver has the right to refuse providing the service if the number of passengers and/or bags exceeds the limits of the vehicle. By exceeding the limits you will incur in additional charges so we recommend that you book the vehicle that will best suit your needs.
The information you provide us is confidential and used only for the purpose of providing you the requested service. Your information will never be shared with a third party.
During the reservation process we obtain the passenger's name, pick-up and drop-off locations, type of vehicle requested, credit card information, email address, and mobile telephone number. We will send you a booking confirmation and the final receipt to the e-mail address that you provide us with. We also request the passenger's mobile telephone number in order to send important SMS alerts on the day of their service. You are permitted to opt-out of providing us with an email address and mobile number, however, please keep in mind that doing so could result in a number of transfer problems like not being able to review an error in a reservation or being unable to locate the chauffeur at pick-up. It is strongly recommended that all passengers provide us with a valid email address and mobile telephone number.
We understand that your plans may change thus we have designed a flexible cancellation policy that helps you and also supports our chauffeurs:
Individuals or groups of 10 passengers or less:
Changes or cancellation are allowed up to 24 hours prior to service. If cancellation occurs inside of 24 hours a 50% penalty fee will be assessed.
No shows will be charged full service price.
Groups of 11 passengers or more:
Cancellation is allowed up to 72 hours prior to service. If cancellation occurs inside of 24 hours a 50% penalty fee will be assessed.

Miami Net Limos will not charge you any hidden fees. When booking you will be able to see the estimated total cost of the service upfront, which includes all charges with the exception of wait time, stops, parking or tolls, which cannot be calculated until the ride is complete.
A standard 20% gratuity has already been included in your final bill. Additional gratuity can be added at your discretion.
Fees incurred during the ride cannot be estimated beforehand, so you'll see them only on your final bill. Any wait time, additional stops you request and tolls will be reflected on your final bill.
Learn more on our policies for wait time, stops and tolls.
Rates for jobs by the hour are calculated based on the pickup location, route taken, and drop off location for the ride using a zone fare pricing model. During booking, Miami Net Limos will provide you a rate that is based on the ride staying within the pickup zone. Should you go to a different zone during your ride by the hour, the rate of the ride will be adjusted to reflect the actual ride taken.
Yes, but please be aware that after the wait time grace period expires you will be charged waiting time. With an airport pick-up, if you've provided us with your flight information we will track your flight, in an effort to help you avoid waiting time fees.
Our industry leading grace periods are: 45 minutes for a domestic flight, 30 minutes for cruise terminal pick-up, 75 minutes for an international flight pick-up and 10 minutes for anywhere else. After the grace period expires you will be charged wait time. Wait Time is $1/minute.
We will try to reach you several times before completely canceling your ride. Once your grace period has ended we will wait an additional 60 minutes, reach out to you once more and then we will cancel the ride. You will then be responsible for the base fare, wait time fees and processing fees.
Our drivers accept cash and credit card payments. However, a valid credit card to guarantee your booking is required during the reservation process whether you book online or by phone.
Upon confirmation of your reservation, we will authorize your card for the estimated cost of your ride. This is not a "true" charge and usually shows up in the pending charges section of your credit card statement.
Once your ride is completed, the credit or debit card you provided will be charged for the actual costs incurred for the ride. A final invoice will be emailed to you within 24-48 hours of your completed ride.
You will receive a receipt via email 24-48 hours after your trip has been completed. If you do not receive a receipt please contact us.
We ask for your flight information when booking your ride. This information allows us to track your flight – so early or late – when your flight arrives your chauffeur will be there.
We offer curb-side pick-up as standard service or meet & greet service for an additional fee.
If you've requested domestic meet & greet service your chauffeur will meet you at baggage claim. If you've requested international meet & greet service your chauffeur will meet you outside of international arrivals once you have passed through customs and immigration.
If you're meeting your chauffeur for curb-side pick-up, please call the driver when you've collected your luggage, using the number you received via SMS to arrange the pick-up location.
You can reserve a child seat during the booking process, for an additional fee.
In order to ensure the safety of the child and proper installation of the car seat, the driver may ask for assistance when installing the car seat.
For the safety of the children and to comply with the laws of the State of Florida children need to utilize car seats or booster seats when appropriate. When making a reservation you may request a car seat or booster seat as required.
For health and safety reasons, we do not allow smoking in any Miami Net Limos vehicle.
All large luggage must fit in the luggage storage of the vehicle. If handheld luggage fits inside the vehicle, then it is permitted.
Miami Net Limos offers promotional discounts on rides periodically through our web site and through social media campaigns. Please note that only one promotion will be accepted per reservation at a time and the code must be entered at checkout in order for the discount to be applied to the reservation. For corporate accounts tiered discounts will be provided based on volume.

33 Questions that will Boost Your Self-Care Routine
A self-care routine is a daily journey of intentional living and being mindful about your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Here's a set of questions that will help you boost your self-care routine.
Sometimes we get stuck in patterns and automatic behaviors that lead us to act mindlessly. When it comes to our health, forgetting this, ignoring that, or overlooking seemingly small things can lead to a build up of health challenges that may be difficult to overcome.
However, you can actively avoid or eliminate many health issues by incorporating self-inquiry into your self-care routine. Self-inquiry is simply the regular act of questioning your thoughts and actions particularly in situations where you rarely question the norm.
To get you started, I've crafted 33 thoughtful questions that correspond to each of the 11 health and wellness pillars in my Self-Care Challenge.
Take the Self-care Challenge
The Self-Care Challenge is a minimalist but robust health and wellness program designed with busy individuals in mind. The program focuses on making small lifestyle changes that yield significant improvements in your sense of well-being.
Some of these may seem obvious but that's exactly why you should ask them. You may assume these questions are being addressed when they really aren't.
In a mindless state you automatically relinquish control to internal and external stimuli. In a mindful state you are more aware of and actively in control of your thoughts.
Use these questions, in addition to your own, to create a habit around self-care that will improve your sense of well-being over time.
Eat Healthy
By questioning what, why, and when you eat you can dramatically improve your relationship with food.
Am I actually hungry?
Is this worth consuming?
Will this help or harm me?
Hydrate Enough
You shouldn't stress about drinking enough water but do need to recognize when you're depleting more than your intake.
Am I thirsty?
Am I exerting myself more than usual?
Do I have dehydration warning signs?
Sleep Better
Since sleep is an epidemic and cause of a wide variety of disorders you should be particularly sensitive to this self-care pillar.
Am I well-rested or tired?
Do I feel sharp and energized during the day?
Do I neglect sleep for other activities?
Move Regularly
A sedentary lifestyle is a major cause of death in the Western world so actively incorporating movement into your day-to-day is imperative.
Have I been sitting too long?
Does my body feel stiff or sore?
How often am I getting fresh air?
Manage Stress
Being aware of the situations that cause stress in your life will empower you to better manage or even completely avoid them.
Am I anxious about something?
Do I feel overwhelmed?
Is there too much pressure on me?
Avoid Vices
Vices are activities that incite addictive behavior that exasperate their negative effects over time so it's important to heavily moderate or stay away from them.
Do I overindulge or go overboard?
Is it hard to stop doing certain things?
Am I feeling socially pressured to engage in that?
Get Checkups
Though modern medicine isn't perfect, you can't deny the benefits of being able to detect a problem before it intensifies.
Do I have a clear sense of the overall state of my health?
Am I fully aware of the conditions I'm at risk of (due to lifestyle or genetics)?
Do I drive the discussions with my health care providers to get what I need out of them?
Stay Safe
Staying safe comes down to doing what's in your control to prevent known risks to yourself and loved ones.
Am I putting myself or loved one at risk?
Do I trust this person or feel secure in this situation?
Do I have an emergency or backup plan?
Be Mindful
Mindfulness is the process of bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment in a non-judgmental way.
Did I truly think that through?
Do I dwell on the past or worry a lot about the future?
Do I make sound judgements or decisions?
Pursue Purpose
Determining a purpose gives you a sense of clarity, and helps you focus on what matters most.
Do I have a plan for my life?
Am I thriving (or progressing)?
Do I have enduring happiness?
Create Balance
You should always strive for balance in your life. Even when it comes to self-care, moderation is key.
Are there parts of my life that seem out of control?
Do I have a method of managing my different life themes?
Do I have reliable resources for making changes when needed?
There are three ways you can build a routine around self-inquiry and regularly ask yourself these important questions.
First, try to stay in tune with the small physical or emotional sensations that cue you in to something being off before it escalates.
This is the method I personally rely on most often. I don't ignore fleeting feelings but instead call them out by asking myself (often out loud): wait, what is going on?
Just the small act of questioning different feelings and sensations can help you identity culprits and determine where to hone in with additional questions.
A second approach is to schedule a self-care day once a month. Consider this a mini wellness retreat where you detach from the daily grind.
You don't need to travel to Bali and go on a 10-day silence meditation in order to find space for self-inquiry and self-care. Steal a day and be thoughtful about what you can do in 24 hours to refresh and refocus.
Third, you can narrow down your focus a bit more by identifying specific areas that need working on and then developing a plan of action.

Raise your hand if you thought model Heidi Klum and singer Seal had the perfect marriage. If you're like most of us, you have your hand high in the air. They SEEMED so happy. They SEEMED so relaxed and perfect with their rockin' Halloween parties and their seemingly sexy marriage. So what went so wrong?
It's the age old question and it has no good answer, but the fact is, it does reveal the sad truth about other people's marriages. From the outside looking in, we can't tell what another person's marriage is like.
Personally, in my life, I have seen several marriages I think are atrocious from the outside, but they keep on hanging in there. Meanwhile marriages that appeared to be perfect have split. What gives?
The answer is simple and cliched: You can't judge a book by its cover. You may think you can and, Lord knows, we all do. I can't count the number of times my husband and I have analyzed another couple's marriage inside and outside, but we're always wrong.
After about the fifth "perfect" marriage we loved broke up, we stopped judging. All those couples who seemed so respectful and happy and devoid of conflict were the ones who were secretly having affairs (apparently), and all those marriages that seemed so full of conflict and strife have managed to keep on chugging.
The fact is, the breakup of a marriage is dependent on a number of factors, very few of which have to do with the actual marriage itself. I have heard tales of women married to closeted gay men or men who were drinking every day and night or who had just plain fallen out of love, but because they didn't "believe in divorce," they have stuck it out.
Sticking it out isn't always indicative of a good marriage or a positive experience. Sometimes it just shows a willingness to stick it out and nothing more.
It's probably true that good marriages are easy to spot. When people look at one another with love and respect, when they still hold hands and laugh at each other's jokes. These are all the moments that matter and do tell others you have a happy marriage. But an unhappy marriage isn't always a reason people divorce and some people are better at hiding their conflicts than others.
There are no perfect marriages, and no matter how badly we want to know it all, we don't. The fact is, no one really knows what is going on in someone else's bedroom and marriage.
Have you ever seen a "perfect couple" divorce?
