The owners of Young in Spirit, the producer of CollaGin, has hit out at The Portman Group for damaging its business after a Retailer Alert Bulletin was issued against its product.
Writing on the CollaGin Blog, one of the Young in Spirit owners Camilla Brown, said: "We are shocked and honestly gutted that today they took the first step to potentially, irrevocably hurt a start up company which has no power nor contacts to counteract such damning words."
She also accused The Portman Group of failing to provide the "vital details" of how it had worked to adhere to the rules and asked why a "huge corporation" would want to do this to them.
"The ruling could be extremely detrimental to our brand and business, but at the end of the day Liz (Berwick) and I aren't going to bow down to corporate bullying," she said.
The blog response came after The Portman Group issued an alert instructing supermarkets, off-licences, convenience stores and other alcohol retailers not to place orders for CollaGin, in its current packaging after 29 October 2017.
The Independent Complaints Panel (ICP) said the product made therapeutic claims and the packaging contained several references to the beneficial effects of the active ingredient 'collagen' including 'the elixir of youth', 'Skin & Tonic' and 'beauty drink'. It concluded that it should not appear on the product label in its current form.
The secretary of the ICP has responded to the accusations.
"The Code rules are not here to stifle creativity, innovative brands are one of the UK's great success stories. However, it's vital that producers understand the codes, which govern alcohol marketing; these rules exist so that they cannot make therapeutic claims about alcohol and we have explained this to the company," said Kay Perry.
"The Portman Group's free Advisory Service exists to help producers interpret the rules. The company did contact the Advisory Service about this product, but they chose not to take that advice on board. We would urge the producers to get in contact with the Advisory Service as soon as possible."
The ruling was made after two members of the public complained about the use of phrases such as 'the elixir of youth' and 'anti-aging botanicals'.
The ICP also noted that quotes from the company in media articles and on their own social media channels created an atmosphere in which the drink was being associated with beauty and anti-aging properties.
However, Young in Spirit said that 'Skin & Tonic' was not a health claim and did not imply a beauty claim. It also stated that 'The Elixir of Youth' was not a health claim and provided the definition: 'The elixir of life, also known as elixir of immortality and sometimes equated with the philosopher's stone, is a mythical potion and supposedly grants the drinker eternal life and/or youth.'
It also stated that stories about the product in the media were not based on the company's press materials and were outside of its control.
They revealed that they were PR consultants and new to the industry and that they would like to work with the Portman Group's Advisory Service to make changes to the product to bring it in line with the code.

aka Should I make this a thing?
This is the first month, in a long time, that I haven't posted my TBR. It feels strange, but it also feels liberating. The fact that I don't HAVE to stick to the books that I broadcasted to a bunch of people on the internet, but I could pick up what I wanted, when I wanted. Freeing, I tell you!
But…I still needed to put up a post, right? So, I'm giving this Friday Reads thing a shot.
Here's what I'm currently reading:
– Insomnia by Stephen King
Ralph's insomnia gets worse when Ed Deepneau gets out of control. Ed is obsessed with the notion that Derry is becoming the new Armageddon and that time is ticking away for the residents. An evil of unimaginable proportions has began and Ralph has the one chance to beat it.
– Skeleton Letters by Laura Childs
Is nothing sacred? The last thing Carmela Bertrand and her friend Ava expected to bear witness to in St. Tristan's Church was a crime. But now a beloved member of their scrapbooking circle lies lifeless next to a smashed statue of St. Sebastien-and a mysterious hooded figure has absconded with an antique crucifix.
As Carmela and Ava are drawn deeper into New Orleans' French Quarter in search of the missing crucifix, they may need the help of more than a few patron saints. Because this is one killer they don't want to cross…
– Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout
Starting over sucks.
When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring… until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.
And then he opened his mouth.
Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something… unexpected happens.
The hot alien living next door marks me.
You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.
If I don't kill him first, that is.
So, what great works of literature are holding your attention this wonderous Friday afternoon? (Sorry, I won't do that again.)
Dee ^_^

I'm always one for a Lush bath and Baa Bar Bubblebar is just too cute to walk past; it's a little sheep! Unfortunately when I took these pictures I'd already used half so you're only seeing half the cuteness but it's still adorable.
Adorable sheep shape aside, this bubble bar is all relaxation and purple dreaminess. It's the perfect addition to a long day when you're about ready to sink into a bath and forget everything else, and just half a bar makes a mountain of lavender scented bubbles so you can do just that! The lavender scent isn't super overpowering either, it's almost a powdery lavender that made my bathroom smell gorgeous.
Stepping out of this bath everything seemed better, I always underestimate the power of a good bath to change my outlook! It must be something about being almost wrapped up in the warm (almost boiling if I'm honest) purple water, with a book or my iPad and surrounded by bubbles. Add the obligatory cup of tea (spearmint green) and there's my recipe for winding down at the end of the day.
So if a relaxing bubble bath with a calming lavender scent and a cute little sheep shape sounds right up your street, head to Lush quick before this limited edition cutie is gone for another year!

Thursday 5th December 2019
Wednesday, 31 May 2017
The Reds started strongly with Billie Simpson and young Leah McEvoy linking up well continually forcing Newry back however they were unable to take advantage and the visitors always looked dangerous on the break.
It was indeed Newry who did take the lead when a corner from Trudi Harbinson was somehow forced home by Elenize Belem. Rayza de Souza then doubled the score six minutes after that when she finished from close range with Harbinson again the provider.
Cliftonville continued to battle hard and were eventually rewarded after 23 minutes when Marissa Callaghan danced her way through the Newry defence to set up Billie Simpson who made no mistake with her finish.
Reds 'keeper Anna McCleary continued to thwart the visiting attack with some outstanding stops using feet and fingertips.
On 35 minutes a long range free kick from Harbinson almost deceived the home keeper but in somehow clawing it to safety she fell awkwardly and the Reds were forced into a change. Megan Wetherall bravely stepped in between the posts giving another young protégé Eirinn Canavan her opportunity to impress from the bench.
And she didn't disappoint, after only minutes on the pitch she took her opportunity rifling a long range shot past Dhebora Barbosa in the Newry goal.
With tails up Cliftonville continued to pile on the pressure in the second half. Simpson should have converted an Emma McAleese free kick but instead nodded straight into the hands of a relieved Newry 'keeper.
Ten minutes in Callaghan again proved too clever for the Newry defence as she put the perfect pass through to McEvoy who unleased an unstoppable rocket leaving Barbosa with no chance.
However the Reds lead lasted only a matter of minutes, with firstly Gomes hitting home before a great cross from Kate Flood and finish from Amanda Dias restored the visitors advantage.
Former Reds striker Celine Curtis and Moya Feehan also got themselves on to the score sheet.
In the dying minutes Cliftonville were when Barbosa produced a series of great saves to deny Callaghan and Simpson.
Cliftonville Ladies: McCleary, Moran, Kelly, McCarthy, Service, Burgess, McEvoy, Simpson, Callaghan, Weatherall, McAleese subs Canavan (replaced McCleary 40), Orr (replaced Burgess 76), Dodds (not used), Cargill (not used), O'Neill (replaced McAleese 76)

The tropical sun was burning even at 10am in the morning. I salute those performers who have to withstand the hot sun while waiting for the show to commence.
My black color snicker exposed under the sun was burning hot, so I could imaging those performers with thick uniform might require surperb endurance.
Soon, the convoy of VVIP arrived, it was the King of Malaysia, our beloved Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Photo journalists were snapping at the VVIP for the press to print on tomorrow's paper. Other visitors were snapping at the cool body guards on bikes.
And, the show began!
There were many performances related to the 'horse' theme.
Including the Horse Riding Dance.
The dancers have very beautiful and colorful costume. The key challenge was the performance was very far from the audiences.
I stayed on a while to watch the acrobatic ing and archery on horse back. There were many other activities held at different park of the club, and it was really filled with fun fair atmosphere (due to the overwhelming number of school children).
One of the unique show was the farriery competition.
At first the volunteer guard prohibited visitors to go the venue. Later on, the organizer invited visitors to walk nearer and see the making of horse shoes. I could feel the heat from the small 'stove' even though I was some distance away.
There were plenty of ice-cream sellers and food stalls in the carnival. I like the coconut shake (not as good as the famous coconut shake in Melaka, but it was heaven sent on a hot sunny day). It was only RM2 per cup (coconut juice + vanila ice-cream + ice blended), much cheaper than the Starbucks blended coffee (there was a Starbucks mobile van).

Can retail save the world?
May 21, 2019 | By Petah Marian
Apr 21, 2017
By WGSN Insider
In this modern day and age, aesthetics are everything and if it's not Insta-worthy, it's not worth our time. Innovators are expanding on this idea by looking into every area of our lives, even to our teeth. Not all of us are as obsessed with dental hygiene as Eva Chen (the fashion maven is known for waxing lyrical on her Insta-feed about the importance of good teeth), so several companies are changing the way we look at dental care by modernising a formerly mundane, thoughtless task and making it cool – appealing to the modern Millennial.
Japanese creator Kosho Ueshima has designed a new toothbrush called Misoka that can be used as a standalone product. That's right: no toothpaste necessary. Ueshima partnered with nanotech company Yumeshokunin Co. LTD to create the toothbrush, placing nano-sized mineral ions on the bristles of the toothbrush which are swished around the mouth with water. "Misoka" means "end of the month" in Japanese, indicating how often the toothbrush needs to be replaced to keep your teeth fresh and stain-free. The shape and look of the plastic brush is inspired by water, making it look significantly more appealing to look at than your average pharmacy bought toothbrush.
Continuing with toothbrushes, Quip was created to fit into your modern lifestyle and do the basics better. Pushing goods instead of gimmicks, Quip has been designed to solve all of your dental hygiene needs. Soft bristles with rounded tips protect your gums and teeth from damage, the small head gets into hard-to-reach places, and the flat design evenly distributes pressure across the gums and keeps the bristles from wearing out too quickly. The handle is lightweight and made to be easy to maneuver around the mouth. When was the last time you changed your toothbrush? Maybe not the easiest question to answer. Quip helps you with this by delivering a new toothbrush head every three months, which is the recommended amount of time in between toothbrush changes. Thoughtful design and a sleek appearance blend to create the perfect toothbrush for your overlooked dental needs.
Presenting last night at NYU about how @grandstreetdental started from nothing and became something, using honesty, aesthetics, and true engagement to build a following. Thanks for having me! See you next time! #Repost @gggdentistry ・・・ @grandstreetdental talks about more of an authentic, aesthetic and human aspect of dentistry – curating your patient pool based on your likes, hobbies and true personality- showing the real, honest you…to make your patients more comfortable before they even step in your office and to keep contact with them even after treatment plans are completed. Aesthetics, authenticity and relationships over glam. . . . #D1 #dentalschool #NYU #NYUCD #NYUDentistry #NYUCD2020 #2020 #classof2020 #dentistry #odontologia #studentdentist #studentdoctor #student #dentist #office #newyorkcity #newyork #NYC #NY #manhattan #kipsbay #gramercy #Williamsburg #photography #iphonesia #dentalphotography #socialmedia
Highlighted by New York Magazine, Dr. Jennifer Plotnick is your friendly neighbourhood dentist at Grand Street Dental. Her office strays away from the stereotypical dentist office vibe, looking more like a design studio complete with modern art hanging on the walls and succulents basking in the window. And if you think that your visit ends with a bucket of Listerine and vague promise of a follow up appointment, think again. Instead customers are treated to branded artisanal floss made with coconut oil.
All in all Grand Street Dental embraces our common desire to be in places that are visually pleasing, not letting the dentist's office be an exception to the rule. Plotnick has also extended her Millennial appeal to Grand Street Dental's Instagram page, with artful still lifes and crisp photos of the office and staff at work. Few pictures of teeth are actually on the feed, while the images are captioned with dental facts and tips. In fact the brand's social strategy so striking that Dr. Jennifer Plotnick was invited to NYU to talk about how she uses it to stand out in the dentistry field and educate people about their teeth.
Grand Street Dental is changing the way you think about those undesirable dentist visits by making the office pleasant and serene, as well as up to par with every other venue you choose to visit on a daily basis.

New Works by Megan Hepburn and Anders Oinonen
Opening Reception Friday, January 21 7 – 10:30pm
1879 Powell St. Vancouver BC
This show of new works by Megan Hepburn and Anders Oinonen explores contrasting yet complementary painting processes. Oinonen starts his works using the form of a face as a framework for building an abstraction. The faces look into the distance, passively suggesting a similarity with the between the viewer and the subject of the painting. Megan Hepburn slowly builds her geometric shapes according to the relationships between wor…ks in process, they inform each other and develop according to a shared logic which develops as they are created.
Megan Hepburn won the 2010 Joseph Plaskett Award for Excellence in Painting and was a semi-finalist in the 2010 Royal Bank of Canada Painting Competition. She has shown at Galerie Werner Whitman, Montreal and at Art Mur, Montreal. Megan recently completed her MFA at Concordia University in Montreal.
Anders Oinonen has had solo shows at CTRL Gallery, Houston, Texas and Mehr (Midtown), New York and Greener Pastures Contemporary Art, Toronto. Oinonen has shown in group shows at Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Montréal and Deitch Projects, New York. Anders currently has an artist project featured in Hunter And Cook issue 07.

Men's Asics Gel-Nimbus 20
Men's Running Shoes
A smooth, comfortable ride that's 20 years in the making. Packed with our revolutionary lightweight FlyteFoam cushioning and other advanced technology from the ASICS Institute of Sports Science, the Nimbus caters to neutral runners of all levels. Its gradient jacquard-mesh FluidFit upper strategically adapts to your foot's natural motion while 3-D printed overlays offer extra support to give you a customized fit that keeps you going mile after mile.
Product Details
Best For:
- Surface: Road, Gyms, Flats
- Category: Neutral Cushioned - Intended for runners who have a higher, more stable arch that does not pronate excessively(roll inwards) or may even supinate(roll outwards). Neutral Cushioned shoes offer very little or no structure or pronation support and are generally more flexible than stability shoes. Runners who require a neutral shoe tend to notice more excessive wear on the lateral(outside) side of the soles of their running shoes. Neutral shoes can vary from lightweight and minimal cushioning to maximum levels of cushioning depending on the needs and preferences of the runner. Runners with high/stable arches tend to notice pain on the outside(lateral side) of their shins and knees and may also battle plantar fasciitis if not wearing a neutral cushioned shoe.
Benefits Include:
- Our FlyteFoam technology provides exceptional bounce back and responsiveness no matter the distance, utilizing organic super fibers to help reduce packing out that traditionally happens with softer, low density foams
- Rearfoot and forefoot Gel Technology Cushioning Systems attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle
- Independently placed eyelets disperse lace tension, creating a customized fitting environment and enhanced upper comfort
- Weight: 10.7 oz
- Heel-to-Toe Offset: 10 mm
- Style: T800N-9001

Boots on the ground-I hate this phrase. Unless, of course, you mean you literally want to put empty boots on the ground in a war zone. Rain boots, fashion boots, work boots, even combat boots. That's fine. I don't care. Air lift all the boots you want anywhere in the world you want and drop them on the ground. Seems a bit pointless, but my real issue is when you expect American soldiers to be wearing those boots.
Boots on the ground did not win our freedom and they cannot defend it. Boots on the ground do not die, get dismembered, or suffer PTSD. Soldiers do. Soldiers are more than boots. They are human beings with mothers and fathers, daughters and sons. Sometimes we need courageous human beings to go into battle to fight and possibly die for the values and liberties we prize. When we dehumanize them and refer to them as boots on the ground, it is too easy to forget the reality of war. The reality of hard battles in harsh environments. The daily choice these soldiers face to kill or be killed. The reality of coming home to an America that seems not to value or acknowledge their sacrifices.
We can send American boots anywhere. When we think of sending American soldiers to war, it behooves us to remember they are more than boots on the ground. They are human beings.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Final Restraining Orders
Domestic violence accusations can cause serious problems in your life. If a New Jersey court imposes a final restraining order (FRO) against you, your movements and your freedom could be restricted going forward because you will be legally barred from making contact with the person who filed for the restraining order. You will also be fingerprinted and your personal information will be put in a database for domestic violence offenders. This could have adverse implications for your housing situation, your employment opportunities, your immigration status, your marital rights, and your child custody rights. Beyond that, you could find yourself behind bars if you ever violate the FRO because NJ prosecutors take contempt charges very seriously and will often seek maximum penalties when a defendant violates the terms of a restraining order.
Do not jeopardize your future. If you are scheduled to appear at an FRO hearing in Camden County, Gloucester County, Atlantic County, or anywhere else in New Jersey, you need to speak with an experienced NJ domestic violence lawyer as soon as possible. Jill Cohen is a highly respected criminal defense attorney who handles domestic violence cases throughout South Jersey. Contact her today to discuss your case.
The restraining order process in NJ begins with the alleged victim obtaining a temporary restraining order (TRO). Once a TRO is in place, a final restraining order (FRO) hearing will be scheduled within 10 days at the Superior Court, Family Division in the county in which either you reside or the alleged victim resides. This is the hearing at which a judge will determine whether a permanent restraining order should be put in effect. You will be required to show up for the FRO hearing and you will want qualified legal representation on your side.
Since you are only going to have a few days to prepare for the FRO hearing, it is crucial that you speak with an experienced attorney immediately. There are several complicated legal issues and case facts that will need to be examined in advance of your FRO hearing. For instance, the alleged victim will have to prove that an act of domestic violence occurred in order to obtain an FRO against you. Under the New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, there are a total of 18 predicate acts of domestic violence that qualify for protection: homicide, assault, terroristic threats, kidnapping, criminal restraint, false imprisonment, sexual assault, criminal sexual contact, lewdness, criminal mischief, burglary, criminal trespass, harassment, stalking, criminal coercion, robbery, contempt of a domestic violence order, and any crime involving risk of death or serious bodily injury. If there was no predicate act of domestic violence, then the judge in your case should not issue a final restraining order.
If you are set to appear at a final restraining order hearing in the coming days, you need to act quickly. You should speak with an experienced criminal defense & domestic violence attorney who understands the nuances of NJ restraining order law and who is prepared to represent you at your FRO hearing. Contact Camden criminal defense lawyer Jill Cohen today to start building your defense against a final restraining order in Camden, Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Washington Township, Glassboro, or elsewhere in South Jersey.
As an assistant prosecutor Ms. Cohen litigated complex motions for the State, was an acting Camden City Municipal Prosecutor, and indicted over 800 cases before the Camden County Grand Jury. Ms. Cohen handled hundreds of indictable/felony and juvenile cases and tried numerous jury trials, in areas such as drug possession and distribution, school zone violations, domestic violence, aggravated assault, fraud, burglary, robbery, child sexual assault, child physical abuse, homicides, attempted murder and other crimes of magnitude.
With over 30 years in the criminal justice system, Ms. Cohen has developed a great working relationship with members of the local justice system. Ms. Cohen uses her vast experience to get her clients the best possible results.
Ms. Cohen leaves no stones unturned when she builds aggressive defense strategies designed to obtain the best possible outcome for her clients.
The New Jersey Supreme Court's Attorney Certification Program is designed to help the public make sound and informed choices when deciding to hire an attorney. While there are over 60,000 practicing attorneys in the state of New Jersey, fewer than 250 New Jersey lawyers have been recognized by the NJ Supreme Court as Certified Criminal Trial Attorneys. Camden County criminal lawyer Jill Cohen has been recognized as an NJ Supreme Court Certified Criminal Trial Attorney every year since 2008. To become a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney, Ms. Cohen received recommendations from her peers and judges throughout South Jersey.
Regardless of the incidents that led up to your arrest, every resident of New Jersey has the constitutional right to a fair trial. If you have been arrested or are being investigated, you need sound legal advice. Contact me today.

Antarctica's Biggest Mysteries: Secrets of a Frozen World
by Andrea
OurAmazingPlanet, December 2011 One hundred years ago this week, on a fine summer afternoon, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and four travel-weary companions plunged a bright flag atop a spindly pole into the Antarctic ice, marking their claim as the first humans to set foot at the bottom of the world. The South Pole was theirs. "That moment will certainly be remembered by all of us who stood there," Amundsen wrote in his account of the arduous trek. On Dec. 14, […]

Canine Arthritis
October 16th, 2014 19:21 pm | by Ed |
I have to say that while I've heard of all manner of diseases and such that dogs, cats and other pets can have, I had never heard of dogs having arthritis problems.
Oh I've heard a few people say such things about they're pets but I always figured it was them deciding that this was the case when it was probably something else. Then recently I saw H3nry (yes, it's actually spelled that way, somebody was sloppy and there was a typo on his birth certificate and nobody ever thought it was worth the time and money to get it fixed) at the Nutjob Hills Diner.
He was talking about a recent trip to the vet because his dog was acting like it was in pain all the time. As it turned out, after a number of lab tests and such the diagnosis was actually osteoarthritis. Thus H3nry ended up with a bottle of http://entirelypetspharmacy.com/vetprofen-75-mg-240-caps.html that he was giving his dog. After a couple of days of this the dog was acting a lot more like his old self.
I have to say I don't envy H3nry. He's going to be giving those pills to that dog for a long time to come. I've given pills to dogs (and worse yet, cats). While it's often needed it is also a royal pain to do because they don't understand that it's to help them. All they know is that you're trying to force them to eat something they don't want.

A group Page isn't officially a business-type Page, but can be good for your Facebook marketing campaign. A group Page can supplement a business's Page, however. You have three options when it comes to creating a group Page:
Closed group Pages: This type is the default. The members are public (meaning that they're visible to the Facebook community), but the content is private. You see the updates to this type of Page in your News Feed, with an icon. When you hover over it, the text says, "Shared with: Members of {group name}."
Open group Pages: The members and content are public. Anything you post inside this group Page will show up on your Wall, as well as on your Friends' News Feeds.
Secret group Pages: The members and content are private. The only ones who can see anything posted on a secret group Page are the members of this group.
Most group Pages look the same but simply have different privacy settings. This particular group decided to use an image at the top of the Page, but you can also have the thumbnail images of the members across the top.
Although a group Page isn't considered to be an official business Page, it can offer some wonderful benefits to your business when it's used in conjunction with your business Page. Consider the following business uses for a group Page:
You can create a closed group Page for the members of a collaborative project. The members of this type of group are public as a way to create a bit of mystery or buzz about an upcoming event for those who see the group listing in Facebook Search, but discussions between members are private.
You can create an open group Page for training. A cool idea is to create an open group Page for coaching or training sessions. On the day and time of the event, everyone could go the group Page and ask questions in the group chat box. If you do this in an open group format, the group could be found in Facebook Group Search, and in the Group Directory.
You can create a secret group Page for your staff. With a secret group Page in place, your staff can post updates, links, videos, events, and documents that only those staff members in the group can see. They can have a group chat, and everyone can type text in the chat box at the same time.

What do you feel when you walk into your bathroom? Most bathroom-related-emotions can be divided into three categories:
- Vaguely disgusted. You walk in and everything feels a little bit grimy, even if you just scrubbed it all down. It might be down to outdated and old fixtures that still look dirty no matter how much you clean them or old tiles and flooring that have seen better days.
- Neutrally uninspired. Maybe your bathroom doesn't create any emotions in you. It's just a room where you go to do your business and get out as quickly as possible. The white-on-white-on-white color scheme is neither offensive or inspiring.
- Blissful. When you walk into your bathroom, you feel like you've been swept away to a distant, exotic spa. Everything looks great, smells wonderful, and you keep thinking of more tasks you can do in the bathroom because it's your favorite room in the house.
Your bathroom probably falls somewhere within these three categories. If it's the last one, congratulations! This probably isn't the article for you. But if your bathroom is one of the first two, it's time to consider undergoing a bathroom remodel in your Bethesda home (and if your bathroom falls into that first category, you need to skip the rest of this article and call us now!). There are a number of benefits to remodeling your bathroom, and we've seen them all over the years. Here are the three biggest benefits you could experience once our team is done with the remodeling work in your bathroom!
Why You Should Remodel Your Bathroom
Help reduce your stress level.
It's true: remodeling your bathroom could actually help lower your stress level. The fact is you spend a lot of time in your bathroom over the course of your life. On average, people spend about a year and a half over their lifetime in the bathroom; more if you take long showers or do your makeup in there. If you are going to spend that much time in one place, it might as well be a good place to spend it. Spending that amount of time in a pleasant environment could actually help reduce your stress levels, too. Imagine walking into a spa-like oasis first thing in the morning. It's a much nicer way to start your day, standing under a rain shower head and walking across heated tiles, than suffering through your current cramped set-up. It's a lot less stressful when you have all of the storage that you need and aren't fighting a cramped and dirty countertop for space. Having a mini-retreat within your home where you can relax, unwind, and let the stresses of everyday life melt away can have a big benefit on your well-being. Plus, if you are getting the spa experience at home, that could help relieve the stress on your wallet, too!
Bathroom remodeling ideas that could help reduce your stress:
- Waterfall shower heads
- Walk-in shower
- Heated bathroom floor tiles
- Dimmable lighting
- Soaking tub
Create a bathroom that works for your family.
Does your current bathroom work for all of the members of your household? Remodeling your bathroom ensures you are getting a bathroom that meets the needs of your family instead of trying to make do with something that's less-than-ideal. Remodeling your bathroom doesn't always have to mean you turn it into a spa, after all. Sometimes it means that you are adding more storage for towels and bath toys. Or maybe you are taking out the bath and adding a walk-in shower to meet the needs of aging household members. Or perhaps you don't have a tub and you need to put one in for the littlest members of your household. Bathrooms are deeply personal spaces and they should be designed to help every member of your family, with the facilities and storage that you all need. Remodeling your current space can give you all of that and more. An experienced contractor can give you even more ideas about improvements that could be made to make the space more functional for your family.
Bathroom remodeling ideas that could work for your family:
- Storage cabinets that maximize the available space
- In-shower storage built into the wall
- Bathtub for children
- Walk-in showers for seniors
- Separate toilet cubicles for busy households
Increase the value of your home.
This is probably the biggest benefit of them all. Having your bathroom renovated could actually end up making you money in the long run. That's because bathroom upgrades can increase the equity of your house by a lot. It's one of the most profitable things you can do to increase the value of your home, actually, along with kitchen remodeling. How much value it adds to your home will depend on what you do to the bathroom and the finished look. If adding value is your main goal, then you can work with an experienced handyman to find ways to save on the costs of the fixtures and the work in order to maximize your return. In some circumstances, the value that's added to the equity of your home can actually be more than what you paid for the remodeling work itself; in most circumstances, though, you can expect to add around 60-70% of the cost of the remodel to the value of your home. So, if you spend $10,000 remodeling your bathroom, on average you can expect to add $6500 to your home's value. If you really want to maximize the value of your home, find space for an additional bathroom. It can add an average of $20,000 to the value of your home.
Bathroom remodeling ideas that could increase the value of your home:
- New flooring
- New paint or tile
- Upgraded fixtures (toilet, shower, sink)
- New lighting fixtures

Brian Friedman- Creative Director of The PULSE On Tour
We read some of your earliest breaks came from appearing in Newsies and Kids Incorporated. What was it like to land those early roles?
My 1st audition was for the film Newsies and to be cast in that film was one of the most amazing feelings in my life! I really felt like my dream was coming true. Shortly after wrapping the film I had a casting for Kids Incorporated, which was one of my favorite TV shows as a child. Being on set of that show for 3 years straight was such a cool experience. I literally grew up on the set I had watched for years. My teen years were unlike other kids but I wouldn't change them for anything!
How has the industry changed today from when you were first appearing as a young professional dancer?
It had changed in many ways. When I was young, only a handful of dancers were working and to be in that elite group of individuals you had to be the best of the best. I think there are so many more opportunities for dancers now, and with the help of social media, you can be spotted from a small town and achieve your dreams much quicker than in the past. With the help of reality dance television shows, dancers have new dreams to dream of and it's great that these shows are promoting being well rounded. I do think that dancers need to remember that hard work pays off and that you can't fast forward through your training.
Is it true Madonna is the one person you still dream about working with? What are you doing to make that happen?
I always wanted to work for Madonna! I wrote a list when I was 12 years old of the icons I dreamed to work for… on that list were Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince, Paula Abdul and Madonna. I was able to cross everyone off of that list except Madonna. I believe that when the time is right, our paths will cross.
What is the most fun you have had recently?
I love Halloween, and this Halloween my friends and I literally hit up every haunted house, theme park and maze in the L.A. area. I love to be scared and this year did not let me down! I am a very seasonal person and get very into holidays… next up is Thanksgiving and Christmas/Chanukah! I can't wait to decorate!
Give us some insight about BSBF (Brian Says B Free)…
BSBF is the results of many years of searching for high fashion casual wear that is affordable. Just because you're a dancer does not mean you have to lack style or edge. I wanted to create a line that you could wear on the street and in the studio. I think regardless of who you are or where you're going, you should be turning heads. The name is Brian Says B Free… that is my way of telling people to be who they want to be with no apologies. Never ask for permission, only forgiveness!
What's the best aspect of being creative director for The Pulse?
I love watching the dancers who go through The Pulse program turn into the artists they were destined to be. As an educator there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your students achieve success both physically and spiritually. We have managed to create an environment where success isn't a possibility but an actuality. I have crafted a faculty line up of the best of the best! This is a faculty that isn't your run of the mill dance convention teachers. We are training the next generation of employable dancers. We are able to do this because we know what is required to be a working dancer… we know this because we not only are/were working dancers but because we are the ones who employ them!
Describe yourself in one word?

I've spent the last several nights lying awake in bed drafting brilliant blog posts until 2am- although, truthfully, anything can seem brilliant at 2am. Usually that's a sign that the things that are in my head need to get out otherwise I might never sleep again.
2015 was unbelievable for us- and by unbelievable I mean it was mostly, well, awful. I had high hopes and believed that the Lord had given us a clear word about some good things but as has happened many times in the past, those good words were a life raft to bolster us and gave us something to hold onto in the midst of really challenging circumstances.
I started the year with surgery and as soon as I recovered from that I hurt my neck. I've never been in that much pain for so long without any type of pain medicine. It was never ending pain & insomnia for months. I'd go to bed at 10 and still be wide awake at 4 trying to find a position that didn't hurt. And since I didn't sleep, Travis didn't sleep. During that time I was at my wits end more times than I can count. I was exercising a lot, especially before my chiropractic appointments because I wanted to give my body the best chance of getting better. One day when we were walking, Travis and I were talking about how difficult things were (we were also being really stretched financially) and we recognized that this was a time of testing. I could see clearly that God was after something in us. In the beginning I had no trouble believing that God could miraculously heal my neck or for that matter, heal the tumor that I was going to have surgery for (it wasn't cancer and nobody ever thought it was so we weren't ever concerned about that) but I knew that God's plan was for me to have surgery and that he wanted me to go to the chiropractor. Faith for healing wasn't what God was after, He wanted us to trust him to provide for us financially.
Times of testing squeeze us and whatever is inside of us comes out- kind of like a tube of toothpaste. There have been times in the past that I've been squeezed and terrible things have come out- unbelief, doubt, fear, lies that I believed were true, a host of things that were just ugly but I don't regret those times because I didn't know that those things lived inside of me and I couldn't repent of them and truly change until I knew they were there. Then the real healing could begin.
This year I was determined to be honest with God and honest with myself. In the past I have been a "pulling up by my bootstraps, forge ahead, we soldier on, put your shoulder into it" and whatever other strength cliche' there is kind of person. I'd stuff my emotions, do my best to not feel anything and just keep going. And I did get through whatever ridiculous trouble I was in- exhausted and weary and sick. I was weary at times to the point of wanting to die. I'm here to tell you that is no way for a child of God to live. This year when the pain was too much I told God it was too much and He comforted me. When I felt like I couldn't keep going I told God that I couldn't keep going and He gave me strength. When I felt like I was never going to get better I told Him that I "felt" like I was never going to get better but that I knew He would deliver me because He promised that He would. In the past I've let my feelings dictate my beliefs and what I feel in any given moment may be the farthest thing from the truth. This time I acknowledged my feelings but declared that His promises to me are true regardless of how I feel.
And then one morning, Travis got the call that nobody ever wants to get. His mom was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and was given 6 months to live.
I can't write about everything that happened next. I've sat down to write about it, Travis asked me to write about it and I've gone over and over it in my mind and I just can't. It was too much. To watch someone that's so vibrant and full of life decline so rapidly, to watch life being quickly taken away by cancer is too much. We had 5 weeks with her from her diagnosis until she passed. The days that I spent at the hospital were both gut-wrenching and precious. I treasure the moments that we cried together, prayed together & laughed together as a family. I saw friends and family that I hadn't seen in years and the time I spent with them was precious.
The loss clobbered me both emotionally and physically. I felt shaken and had difficulty reconciling my belief that God would heal her with the reality of what happened. I know that God can heal. I had no trouble believing that pancreatic cancer wasn't bigger than God. I believe that God will answer any prayer that we pray according to His will. I laid hands on my mother-in-law and prayed for her. It was a strong prayer, I felt the power of the Holy Spirit and I know that she did too. Even though she was on a ventilator, her eyes met mine and she squeezed my hand so hard that I knew she heard me. I know that God heard me. And He took her home.
After we got home we all got sick. And when we weren't sick, we still felt sick. The loss hung heavy over our home and the cumulative effect of stretched finances, surgery, chiropractic, Travis also hurt his neck (which was bent at an angle like the Leaning Tower of Pisa when he stood up straight), losing his mom, and then Thanksgiving and Christmas was too much. I found myself panicking at the slightest thing. And once again Travis and I walked and talked. I came to the realization that everything was too much and so my body was overreacting to everything. After we talked I felt much better and much more calm. The next day I woke up feeling like I was getting a cold which ended up turning into bronchitis. My parents and Amanda and Daniel were coming for Christmas and during the week Halle got bronchitis, Chloe got pneumonia and Amanda, Daniel and my mom all got sick too.
The year that was 2015 never let up in its intensity and Jesus never failed to faithfully walk us through it. I was in the shower one day, feeling so sad about my mother-in-law and the shower is often where I end up crying. I was thinking about the verse that says, '…There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother' and the Lord spoke to me and said, "I don't walk you through things just because I'm obligated to, I want to walk you through this". And He has not ceased to faithfully walk us through it. The years that I relied on my own strength to get me through things left me weak, sick and weary. This time I feel happy, hopeful and full of faith.
I've heard people say that "God won't give me more than I can handle" which is a misquote of 1 Corinthians 10:13,
"13 No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
That verse is talking about temptation not the normal difficulties of life. Circumstances of life are often more than I can handle but 2 Corinthians 12:9 says,
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
As hard as this past year was, I'm happy with the way I handled it. Not because I was strong but because I wasn't. He was strong for me and gave me the strength I needed to endure. I was, for the first time, honest with God and with myself about my weakness- I let go of my pride in my own strength and relied on His perfect strength. I pray that I always remember how to rely on His strength because I never want to go back to my old ways of doing things.
I hope all of that makes sense. In a way I feel like a soda bottle that's been shaken and ready to burst, spewing words all over the place. I want to write more about God's faithfulness and His unchanging character. I want to write about His greatness. And I want to write about what color I'm going to paint my bedroom and about what crazy things I've been throwing in a blender lately (avocado-spinach smoothie, anyone?) I guess we'll see what 2016 holds.

Note: Back by popular demand, this is a repost of a previous blog by Antony Edwards.
SciFi worlds from the 1980s always included super powerful, intelligent computers that you could talk to. By the late 90s, the vision had moved on to worlds where everything is a computer and connected; maybe even us. And it's this ubiquitous computing that I think is the most exciting and interesting part of technology: new device categories.

Safety Signs News
Defunct company prosecuted for past safety failings
6th March 2014 | Health and Safety Signs
Posted by Jason Nicholls
A former Hull firm has been prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), but cannot be sentenced as it was dissolved as a company at the beginning of 2014.
Tega (Hull) Ltd was prosecuted due to an incident at Brantingham Park, Elloughton. The company had been hired to set up a temporary stage, and was in the process of raising four columns to support the roof of the structure.
The workers were using a forklift to pull the column upright, while four workers underneath pushed it upwards at the same time. After two goes without success, the employees tried a third time. Unfortunately, the forklift slipped on wet grass, sending the column crashing down.
One of the workers was hit, and suffered serious fractures to his lower left leg, which required surgery, and damaged vertebrae in his back. The HSE found that the firm did not have a safe system of work in place and had not properly planned the lifting operations.
HSE inspector David Bradley said: "Lifting operations need to be properly planned and managed and suitable equipment made available on site. Those expected to use it must have received training and instruction about its safe use for its intended purpose."

The subject of the conference was 'Web 2.0 and Relationships.' Web 2.0 is one of those terms I've seen bandied about and thus absorbed but never attributed an exact definition to. I knew it was the social side of the web but White introduced it clearly and set the context of how user led sites such as twitter and Facebook (2.0) are replacing provider led sites (1.0) such as company information sites.
David Phillips spoke first about the DNA of social media being about values and how it is shared values and shared understanding of mutually held values that create relationships. His views on how our manifestation of trust (reputation) is intangible but that intangibles can turn tangibles into values was fascinating, especially when he made clear how this equated to the cold stuff! As I understood it, when a tangible product has a positive reputation it can sell itself on its values. It took me back to my days in sales when I had it drilled into me that people don't buy products, they buy features and benefits; I can see the relevance to web 2.0 but I still have my reservations about the applicability to kitchens.
Next up was Alex Sass of Renegade Media who spoke about 'buzz' and the fact that 'brand advocacy is even more important than brand image or brand satisfaction.' He built on the foundations laid by Phillips about the significance of relationships and has coined the fantastic title of being 'head of Homophily' which really encapsulated the thrust of the conference for me. He explained the benefits of twitter for realtime customer service and clarified (for me at least) the significance of Blogger outreach - I was amazed to hear that blogs are the third most important links for SEO after military and academic and that ten blogs linking a video will put that video at number one on Google. Sass also explained why Facebook ads are good value for money (they raise brand awareness and a click-through rate of 0.1% makes them cheap) and that 'the credibility of Google is inversely proportional to SEO.' His final message was that the technology is a given and that we ought to invest in sociology. It was a lot of information in a relatively short presentation but it was all accessible even for a newbie like me.
www.twitter.com/thedogsdaily (no comment)
After a break, Aren Grimshaw of Tonick Media gave the final presentation. Grimshaw expanded on the community building aspects and made a clear distinction between what is and what is not community, bringing home the core message of the evening that social media relationships are about quality and not quantity. His experiences of Twestival and social media cafes was engaging and set their usage clearly within the wider social media picture.
After a long day at work, an evening conference can feel like a huge demand on your time and energy but I met some very interesting people during the networking opportunities and the three presentations, while covering a huge amount of information benefited from lively and enthusiastic speakers. I've gained a greater awareness of what social media is about and what it can achieve and have been left eager to join Richard Hudson's DigiTalks Cheltenham and speak further with Stuart Croft of the Independence Trust.
Update: 10 Yetis got in touch saying that something about the sum of SEO claims didn't ring quite true for them. After checking their facts they said that blogs being the third most important links for SEO after military and academic and that ten blogs linking a video will put that video at number one on Google was inaccurate.
What to do? I respect 10 Yetis (they have an office dog, enough said) but I paid money to see Alex Sass as a speaker at a conference. I've been in academia long enough to be faced with the question of making sense of conflicting arguments between respected sources before but it was a very different industry. In academia there is a hierarchy of journals which 'experts' are set against. I like to say that working towards my PhD makes me an expert on my very specific area of Southeast Asian Political Economy but the truth is that until a key journal publishes me or a key institution hires me, that expertise is easily negated against someone with those strings to their bow.
How then are we to make judgements in a web 2.0 world? The very nature of the developing internet (as highlighted by #AddMe) is based on relationships and as I have a relationship with 10 Yetis (fledgling as it is) I felt swayed by Andy Barr's updates. To even the playing field I went to speak to Alex Sass via twitter... He doesn't tweet. His last update was over a week ago! I hesitated and then clicked his web link. I was taken to his company website where a quick scroll revealed his email address. I never bothered to email him.
While I was willing to put off writing this update until I had left work (I may upload at work but I write in my own time) if I was going to talk to him I wanted to do it quickly. I keep an eye on twitter all day and as much is connected to my work, I can justify (to myself, I hasten to add. I don't work at the kind of loony bin that monitors web usage) the odd tweet here and there to people I want to share ideas with. But I don't have time to compose emails; creating subjects to compete with what is no doubt an influx and deciding what sign off is appropriate. I have print companies to liaise with, volunteers to manage, the phone to answer and an event to organise... I'm 140 characters able to chat to you but nothing more than that.
I've been mulling this over this afternoon (while boiling the kettle, while locking up the conference centre, while waiting at the lights on my commute home) and the conclusion that I'm not completely happy with is that my 'truth' is the one that I share values with. 10 Yetis work within my reality and Alex Sass does not. It might be the case that Alex Sass is correct and 10 Yetis are wrong but I don't have time to find out. My position on blogs being the third most important links for SEO after military and academic and that ten blogs linking a video will put that video at number one on Google is that I don't honestly know but crucially, if asked my opinion, what is at the forefront of my mind is that there is doubt over this and I haven't discredited the doubt.
With 10 Yetis I'm buying into their features and benefits (their expediency) with their product (the facts) as a secondary concern and that solidifies for me what Phillips was saying about social media turning relationships into reputation building.

Trapped for a Day on a Rather Quiet Incline
From Akashic Records
Written by "TheIdealist !!ZfPWWNCRHs6" on /x/
Johnathan was very hyper on Wednesday night. He had chugged 4 energy drinks, eaten half his weight in junk food, and was now running around his home and jumping off of anything he thought to be high enough.
Johnathan was 19 at the time, and was home alone. While years later he was able to laugh himself for being so childish as to jump off of his bed for fun, at the moment his head smacked onto the hard wood floor, no one was laughing.
His parents got home 20 minutes later, and rushed their unconscious son to the ER. He was lucky to only have a minor concussion, and he was conscious within 2 hours.
When Johnathan awoke he was in a rather quiet hospital room. He had no "room mates", and there wasn't a single doctor or nurse in sight. There were 2 sounds he could hear.
The first of which was the steady "beep......beep....." of his heart monitor, which to his relief, was showing him as stable.
The second was not near as comforting. On the rooms wall mounted television was nothing but a snowy static image, accompanied by stereotypical white noise. Johnathan felt bothered by this, so he reached over to a small beside tray, in which he could see the remote.
He flipped through every channel. Comedy Central. Static. Syfy. Static. ABC. Static. Nothing was coming on. He flipped it off, thinking it to be a faulty cable connection, he hit the call button to summon a nurse.
"Of course. Shitty TV, shitty response time...."
Johnathan trailed off. He looked at the clock on the wall, and read it as 3 o'clock. Being an old style clock, it did not indicate AM or PM.
He thought for a moment, and stood up. The curtains were closed, so he assumed it was day time, as they would be shut to keep light out.
"One way to find out."
He pulled them back to see nothing but a thick grey fog, the outlines of several tree's visible, but not much more.
"Or maybe night time it is...Where the fuck is the nurse?"
Ironically, it was then that he met the first abomination that he would face in his transformed quiet little town (which was built on top of an incline, or a hill, if you'd like to call it that).
The thing that came shuffling through the door at that very moment might have very well once been a nurse. But now it was a shell of its former self.
Its bones bent in odd ways, and you could hear cracking noises as it stepped. Its face was covered in bloody bandages, its uniform stained with various fluids. And in its hand was a rusty scalpel, which was the first thing Johnathan noticed. And the only thing he really needed to notice.
It was enough to put him in battle mode, and he soon was holding his trusty remote as if it were a deadly weapon.
Running towards his "nurse", he swung the remote smack dab into the center of it's skull. He brought it back up, then "twack!" again. Right across it's forehead.
After 3 more strikes she was down and Johnathan was gone. He ran out into the hall to see only more disturbing imagery.
The walls were covered in rust, chipping paint everywhere. Holes in the support beams were visible, as were the support beams themselves.
There were several more nurses in the hallway, but they were slow and Johnathan was fueled by fear. He breezed by them and into the stairway. He looked at the floor number.
"3? Thats not bad, I'll be out of here in no time at all"
Opening the door to the ground level, he was greeted with a huge black hole. The floor was almost non existent, save for a 6 inch wide strip running from the stairs to the exit.
Realizing it to be his only way across, Johnathan slowly walked on the strip. Calmly breathing, arms out at his side, he kept good time.
Reaching the end of beam he leaped out of the building. He stopped himself from doing some sort of a victory dance, because he had a feeling there would only be more monsters to come, and he didn't need to draw more attention to himself.
Turning on his heel he saw some things he would never forget. Behind him was a tall man with a pyramid mask over his head. This in itself wouldn't of been so terrible, had he not been carrying the largest knife Johnathan had ever seen, and had he not been raping a nurse and what seemed to be a living mannequin. Both at once.
For a moment Johnathan contemplated on how much skill and practice it would take to rape two people at once, then dismissed it as he realized that if he could rape two at once then he might be able to take on a third.
Pyramid head didn't seem to notice as the teen boy in a night gown sprinted into the fog, trying desperately not to confront anything.
He wondered for several hours, sneaking by monsters. Then at about 6 PM (Turned out it was PM, according to a digital clock he saw in the abandoned video store) he found a clothing store that seemed safe enough and got some pants and a shirt on. Can't be fighting monsters half naked.
Luckily he also found a knife in the street. It wasn't too great, but it would work. All he could hope for was to survive the day.
He then made the decision to head on home. He felt he'd be safer if he made a homecoming of sorts. It was a few miles away, but at 10 PM he arrived there. Oddly enough he didn't see a single monster on the way.
Arriving home, he found no one. Not a soul around. His parents gone, his siblings missing, he decided to take a rest in his room.
He stepped in, seeing his room to look oddly....perfect. In a place that he had seen nothing but rust all day, this was a rather scary idea. For some reason or another, he felt he would of been safer with the rust.
He locked the door, and thought for a moment. After a moment he decided it was a bad idea to trust just a lock. He pushed a large dresser in front of the door. Hoping to god it was enough to keep anything out.
He laid down on the bed, intending to go to sleep. He had walked around for hours, and his feet were screaming out for a rest.
His bed faced the window on the opposite wall. And he stared out of it as he began to drift off.
A loud crash through the window jarred him out of his sleep. Opening his eyes he saw a long black arm in front of his face. It grabbed him by the neck. Soon the arm was joined by three friends, and he was pulled from the 2nd story window, out into the yard.
He looked up to what was holding him. He saw a man, in a suite. The man was taller then any basketball player and rather slender. This Slender man of sorts had 6 arms jetting out like the limbs of a tree. His skin was pale and he had a very memorable face. Reason being is that is was just flat skin. No nose, mouth, eyes, nothing but skin.
Johnathan screamed for help, but it was too late. He was suffocated in the arms of Slender Man and everything slowly faded to black. Death felt close. It would soon come.
Johnathan woke up screaming. He was where he had passed out, laying on the floor in his bedroom. Had it all been a dream?
He looked up at the TV and laughed. He remembered now.
On the TV was the pause screen for Silent Hill 2. He had fallen asleep playing his favorite game, and it had given him nightmares. He felt so foolish. He stood up, yawning, and pulled back the curtains on his window to see a thick fog and 2 men. 1 man in a suit, the other with a Pyramid mask on.
"Fuck my life."

This one got more and more personal as I went on, so
pardon the initial cuteness; I decided halfway through
that it was only going out to a very short list of
people. it's a little long, but i've never been one
to apologize for that. please bear with me. this
letter is not for bulletin boards or public
discussion. it's more so you can know how your
prayers for me have been answered.
OK, so here are some advantages and disadvantages to
living alone:
advantage: you can do whatever you please at home
disadvantage: this usually means nothing interesting
a: you can go to bed whenever
d: korean meals are often designed to be eaten by two
a: you can walk around wearing anything you want
d: there's noone to be shocked or surprised or
disgusted or any such thing
a: you pick what movies to rent
b: you can never think of anything you want to see
a: you don't have those pointless small talk
conversations about whether its better to push a chair
in with your foot or your hands
d: those conversations are fun
a: nobody knows, or checks, where or how you are
d: nobody knows, or checks, where or how you are
a: privacy
d: nobody has a backup copy of your keys (funny typo
there: I originally typed "eyes" instead of "keys")
a: long showers
d: it takes initiative to hang out with someone
a: which means you get personal stuff done
d: or waste untold amounts of time on pointless fluff
a: you can keep it as clean as you like
d: you can keep it as dirty as you like
a: no one else can take credit for the decor.
d: no one else can take blame for the smell.
and so forth.
I've been sick for quite a while now -- it seems that
just as I was recovering from that last cold, I caught
another one, or something like it. All my co-workers
are sick. There's this stuff called the yellow dust
in the air right now -- it's dust blown in from (I
think) the Gobi desert in China, and it's a fine dust
that makes the air hazy for a few weeks every spring,
and people with asthma are told to stay indoors (or
wear these cute surgical masks that you can buy at any
convenience store -- remember pictures from Shanghai
during the SARS scare? Exactly like that -- just not
as many). It also makes sore throats and head colds
increase, and makes sore throats (like mine) heal
really slowly. Kids miss classes, the local news
gives air quality indexes, and if it's too high,
school is cancelled (but not private academies like
I'm having a lot of fun with my classes right now. I
have one trick where i tell students to touch my nose
(then I wonder why I'm sick), and make some animal
noise; then I say "Do it again" and repeat. Then,
after three or four repetitions, instead of meowing,
or clucking, I shout "BOO!" and startle the dear
child. I had one student who's the most vocal student
in my class -- good attitude, sense of humor, but
loud; I had just shown the rest of the class my trick,
when she walked in late. She says "Why is everybody
laughing?" and I said, "Come here and I'll show you."
And I did. Great times -- I really enjoy that class.
In another class one of the students was reading
something about bumper stickers, and the "I Love New
York" sign was in the article -- the I heart NY one.
While he was reading he came across this sign and
instead of saying "I love New York", he sounded it out
and said what sounded like "I hurt knee."
That was the class where, because I was tired at the
end of the day, I offered them bananas and kept
calling them "umbrellas" -- and you know how once you
get the wrong word in your head, you're GOING to make
the mistake again. So now we have a running joke
where if I can't think of the word for something, I
call it "umbrella". And there's this girl named
Christine in that class who just goes into hysterics
whenever I do something funny. They're also quite
smart. Then somebody misread "soap on a rope" as
"soup on a rope" and what could I do but crack up?
There's also a student in that class who's so
obssessed with Lord of the Rings that his name is
Aragorn. Every writing assignment I give must have
qualifiers like "design an invention to make your life
easier. that's YOUR life; not the life of an Orc
warrior or a white wizard." It's actually quite funny
though. He's a really bright kid, and he said he
wants to be a writer. He's talented enough (at age
14) to give it a go.
Last weekend I went to Everland (an amusement park)
with a new friend named Colleen. Colleen is cool.
She's good to talk to, a bit older than myself, an old
hand at living in Korea, tolerant of my weirdnesses,
and smart as buttons. (really smart buttons) She
also appreciates my jokes, and lives close enough to
hang out on weeknights (though since we're not close
enough friends yet to spend a lot of time at each
other's houses watching movies or eating cheese-free
nachos, hanging out usually involves a little money
these days). Everland was cool, though she was afraid
of some of the rides. But a good time was had by all.
So far we've discovered we can spend a lot of time
together without getting sick of each other, and so
far our age difference (not shocking, but more than
three years) hasn't shown itself in any major way. I
think we're both glad to have a friend nearby, and
we've both been pretty good about nurturing a good
friendship without moving uncomfortably fast or
frustratingly slow.
Living alone has meant I spend a lot more time writing
than I did before. This is a very good thing.
Finally, I've had a revelation, possibly because of
the alone time, and possibly because I've started
spending more time in the Word, and in prayer (another
advantage of living alone, especially without cable
TV: nobody to distract you).
And here's how it goes. this is going to take a
while, so buckle in and get comfortable. maybe print
it out and take it to the dentist's office.
My oldest sister and I have a years old debate about
whether Christians ought to read books/listen to music
full of discord and hurt etc.; I argue that they're
part of the world where God has placed us, and part of
the human nature God put in us, and that more learning
happens along the lines of tension than along the
lines of harmony; Rebecca answers that being exposed
to, and turning my mind toward sometimes squalid
aspects of life can be damaging to my soul. Maybe
it's just that Rebecca's way of becoming available to
God is to seek out peace and quietness and wait for
God's whisper, while my way, traditionally, is to
stare into the storm to wonder at His splendour.
Revelation has come both ways (Elijah and Job)
I think it's a good debate for both of us -- iron
sharpens iron, and I think both of us benefit from
each other's insights. Often it seems that we are
arguing two sides of the same coin, and Rebecca
reminds me to fix my eyes on heavenly things, for
that's where we're GOING, while I (hope I) remind her
(how presumptuous I am!) to keep her eyes on the world
around, because that's where we ARE; fire is beautiful
because it's fire, as well as being beautiful because
it's a metaphor for the holy spirit. It can, and
should, be enjoyed for both, I think (am learning).
Christ managed to do both -- he brought peace to those
who needed it, and created harmony where there was
discord, but he also destabilized some people who were
too complacently secure, and often associated with
people who moved along the ragged edges of life.
Somewhere among the stances we argue is a way of life
that is harmonious and peaceful as well as challenging
and growing.
(sorry if some of this commentary is old hat for some
of you; writing it helps me work through it; that's
how I come to understand most things in my life.
Maybe, if anything, I should apologize for wrestling
my angels and demons in front of all of you.)
Anyway, I'd mentioned a while ago to rebecca that of
my family members, I think our minds operate most
similarly. Since then we've both looked at the
similarities between us and learned a few things, and
seen a few things in ourselves that we hadn't ever
thought to look for in ourselves before.
She said in her last e-mail that
"I think you are right that
we think the same way, but the
difference I see is in what we
think about." (see also: Phil. 4:8
"Whatsoever things are true, lovely,
honest, just etc think about such
things." "by beholding we are changed."
2Cor. 3:18: "But we all, with open
face beholding as in a glass the glory
of the Lord, are changed into the same
image from glory to glory, by the
Spirit of the Lord." )
So I wrote in my journal about that, and had a
realization (here it is, finally.)
it's hard to admit this, because rebecca and I have
debated this exact thing before, with me vehemently
defending myself.
confession time.
Music has become a god to me. I was so busy thinking
about my ambition to be a writer, and wanting to make
sure God came before writing, and that if He asked me
to put writing aside to further His kingdom, I would,
that music snuck in the back door and became the thing
I didn't want to give up.
The thing is, there are the priorities I'll tell you
if you ask me to list them, and there are priorities
you would discover by drawing a pie chart of how I
spent my time, money, and thought. If there's a
discrepancy between the things you say are most
important, and the things you live as if they were the
most important, obviously you are lacking either
vision for your life, or commitment to that vision.
so I've decided to stow my CDs and my speakers and my
player for an indeterminate amount of time: it will be
more than a month, but I don't know when it will end;
basically, until I can listen to music without it
possessing my thoughts and causing me to spend
inappropriately large amounts of time, thought or
money on it.
I'm going to miss music a lot -- I can only think
it'll be like quitting smoking; everywhere you go,
someone's lighting up and making you miss that
feeling. Except it'll be even harder to defend,
because music isn't inherently bad for you; even the
music I listen to. I am not backing down on the
points I made in discussions about the value of
certain types of music; I'm just recognizing that, as
defensible as such music is in general and in
principle, in MY life, at this time, its presence
represents something other than a means to enjoyment
and (sometimes) learning about the world, and those
principles fall to the greater principle that "You
shall have no other gods before me".
I've been thinking lately about the idea that God is a
jealous god. I want to make sure that I am not
misunderstanding or underestimating God's (justified)
possessiveness over what calls itself His.
so pray for me. pray that ALL my values get realigned
appropriately, because I've been easily distractable
for a while. Living alone means I have a lot of time
where me and God are the only ones in the apartment.
This is pretty big for me. Most of you know how much
I talk about /listen to music. Most of my casual
spending money was spent on music last year. I don't
quite know yet what I'm going to do, or where my mind
will go when I stop thinking about that song on the
radio, but I'm kind of excited to find out -- because
I don't think God will disappoint me if I give Him all
that now(soon)-free space in my mind to do with as He
The thing is, even if it's OK for Christians to go
into the world and engage with the things and ideas of
the world (in order to understand the people of the
world and better show them Christ's love, among other
reasons), this requires -- REQUIRES (and pardon me if
this sounds cliche; it's just becoming new to me
again) that we be absolutely anchored to God before we
make such forays.
You can't stand against the flow of a river if you
don't have a solid footing (and preferably a rope
around your waist that's tied to something even
bigger), and I was so busy saying that it's OK for
Christians to stand in the river that I forgot to
check whether my rope was secure. So now I'm at least
aware I was drifting, and looking to get that rope
tied tightly again. This will take time. Hopefully,
as I continue to spend time with God, He will move
more mountains in my life, and maybe by the time I get
back to Canada, you'll barely recognize me. Maybe.
So I'm asking you to pray for me. And thanking you,
for the prayers you've already done. I've been placed
in a spot where I don't think I've ever had so much
quiet in my life, and I can't wait to hear what God's
been whispering while my life was too loud to let me
hear. There are other areas of my life, I'm sure,
where I need such radical shifts and new insights, and
pray that I'm willing to go through those shifts, and
that I make no excuses. (that was how I knew music
was too important in my life: I started making excuses
about why I didn't REALLY have to cut back on my music
anyway, it's an exciting time spiritually. I haven't
been this deep in the Word since my second year of
university, and I don't know if I've ever prayed even
this much (and believe me, there's room for
improvement). but for the first time, I can say I've
prayed recently for all the people on this list. I'm
not quite up to praying for each of you daily, but
weekly is better than my former "twenty seconds after
I finish reading your e-mail, with few exceptions"
rate. God has this snowballish knack for picking up
momentum as He goes, so who knows where this will end.
I love you all.
Becca: you asked for my response. I guess this is
part of it. Any thoughts?
Dan: in case I forget later, happy birthday, dude.
and mom and dad: happy 30th again.
Take care.

(ISC)2 Plans Move to Computer-based Testing on June 1
According to the following press release "(ISC)2 to Complete Final Stages of Computer-based Testing for All Its Certification Exams," the best-known information security certifications — including the CISSP and SSCP — will migrate to computer-based testing on June 1, 2012. After a successful pilot test at Pearson VUE testing centers in Latin America, the organization is preparing to roll out all of its exams at Pearson VUE testing centers world-wide this summer.
Until now, it's been necessary for (ISC)2 cert candidates to register for proctored exams at specific, limited locations so they could take these exams using pencil-and-paper forms. The switch to computer-based testing (which (ISC)2 calls "CBT" even though the cert and training industries usually reserve this acronym for "computer-based training" instead, so be prepared for a double-take or three if you read the press release yourself) will speed scoring and exam results reporting, make it easier for candidates to take these exams at nearby testing centers, and enable them to register and pay for their exam encounters more quickly and easily.
It's been a long time coming, but it's good to see that (ISC)2 is finally catching up with standard best practices for exam offer and delivery.

Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Everybody run, it's a new Godzilla game! Though, due to the fact that this is a new release and we're only getting our first look at it, it's actually just a few screens and a meager bit of information. Still, we should get hyped like it's a gameplay preview of a new Godzilla game! Though it isn't.
Famitsu has gone live with the very first preview of an upcoming Godzilla title for PS3, a mission-based game that finds players destroying buildings Rampage-style. Looks like the game wants to make good on a promise to include the beloved special effects we've come to know from the Godzilla films, but that heat ray is all I need to see to know that I'm interested.
Godzilla will be headed for Japan this winter. That's just enough time for Bryan Cranston to figure something out, right?

Macrame is an ancient craft of knotting different types of thread to make decorative hanging plant holders, wall hangings, clothing and jewelry. According to Macramenia, the word macrame is of Arabic origin, meaning fringe, and the skill dates back to the 13th century, when Arab weavers knotted different material at the edges of their loomed goods. Macrame plant holders are sturdy and support heavy pots filled with potting soil and flowers to decorate a spot. Make a macrame hanging plant holder and display it outside your front porch or balcony.
Determine the height of your macrame hanging plant hanger. Cut a length of cord five times longer than the desired height of your finished macrame holder with sharp scissors. Repeat this process until you have six equal lengths of cord.
Fold all six cords in the middle so you have 12 ends. Insert a 2-inch-wide metal ring in the center of the cords. Form a grouped overhand knot to secure the ring to the cords. To do this, assemble and hold the cord ends, loop them around the ring and pull the ends through tightly.
Separate the 12 cords into three groups consisting of four cords in each. Secure one group (four cords) to a knotting board with pins so it stays in place as you begin knotting.
Form the top of the hanger by overlapping the pinned cords first. To do this, pull the two cords to the right over the two cords to the left. Twist them firmly and then pull the two cords to the left over the two cords to the right. Make loose knots so you see the design as it forms. Overlap both sets of cords until they exit the knot together.
Pin the second group of four cords to the knotting board and repeat the procedure of overlapping two sets of cords. Once complete, pin the third group and repeat the procedure.
Separate the four cords in each group into two. Join two cords from one group to two other cords to its right or left side so you have three new groups of four cords each.
Assemble and hold the cord ends. Measure 5 to 7 inches above the ends and tie a square knot. The pot will rest over the knot. Depending on personal taste, cut the ends off with scissors, braid them or slide colored beads into them and knot the ends so they are secure.
