Motherhood hasn't come naturally to Daisy Leverington. Four years in and she remains wide-eyed, terrified and in awe of the little person she's responsible for. This week she has some suggestions from the darker side of parenting.
What the hell do you think you're playing at, asking for ANOTHER pudding? Are you for real?? I just spent 20 minutes cooking a dinner you barely touched, a dinner which cost about half an hour's wage, a dinner with an actual VEGETABLE in it, and then provided you with a pudding which you didn't really deserve, and now you want another one?!
Are you actually out of your tiny mind?! No! You cannot have anything else! You are a disgrace, child, a disgrace to my family name and all children in general. Your behaviour is not befitting of our budget and you have ketchup around your mouth. My grandma would have handed you your own arse for even asking! I cannot believe such a frigging ingrate came out of my poor vagina.
My mind clicks back into reality, to the small child giving me puss-in-boots eyes. I wonder if she heard any of my loud thoughts. "Fine," I reply, knowing I can palm her off with fruit and she'll be happy.
I'm assuming that everyone runs a version of these thoughts through their heads before replying to their children. I can't be the only one who quietly mutters "you little fecker" after outwardly proclaiming "love you, nanight" after a long kiddie-filled day.
I've been compiling a list of Motherhood Safe Words – replacement words and phrases for the occasions when you want to tell your child to piss off, or send it out to play in the traffic. Things to use when the breaking point looms large. Stuff you WON'T go to jail for.
"You ask them to put it down, they pick it up. You ask them to hold your hand, they run like the wind. My solution cleverly combines both fear and curiosity."
1. Asking for shit they can't have
A fairly common but exceptionally frustrating situation, especially in public. When we detect the dulcet tones of our offspring changing from inquisitive to pleading; we know we have approximately 10 seconds until we either give in or they melt down. Here's my solution.
"LOOK, FREE STICKERS!" you shout. And then, (this is the crucial part) you run as fast as you can into the nearest licensed premises and neck two sambucas. (It needs to be quite close, or you might go to jail for abandonment.)
By the time security return your child you'll be half-cut and they will have forgotten about the thing they wanted in the first place. WIN.
2. Slightly too violent play fighting with you or their siblings
As kids get older, they get stronger, and the cute little wrestles with your toddler become bare-knuckle fist fights with oddly muscular children. At the point at which you know that you or your younger child will lose, you must shout: "THERE'S A GHOST IN YOUR SCHOOL'S SPORTS HALL." This has the double effect of entirely distracting them from their current fight, and putting the fear of god into any future physical activity. WIN.
3. Doing the opposite of what they are told
Again, fairly common and especially annoying in public. You ask them to put it down, they pick it up. You ask them to hold your hand, they run like the wind. My solution cleverly combines both fear and curiosity.
At the first sign of disobedience, you must loudly declare: "MY COUSIN TRIED THAT AND A WEEK LATER HE WAS DEAD." Then comes the most important part: never explain that sentence. Just a knowing nod will do. If they try to do it again, just cry loudly. WIN.
4. Refusing to go to bed
Tricky, but not impossible. My child has somehow managed to drag bedtime out for an entire hour on occasions. Bad occasions. I've now taken to chucking out "IF YOU DON'T SLEEP, ALL THE FAIRIES WILL DIE," just after I kiss her goodnight.
The sheer weight of responsibility will silence even the loudest bedtime protestations, and when they grow up and are talking to their therapist, they'll feel stupid because fairies don't even exist. WIN.
5. Not eating dinner
This is a daily battle in my house, and one which I'm in constant danger of losing. No amount of threats will do here; you will need an iron will and a strong heart. You CAN do this. The only advice I have here is to look the child straight in the eye and say, "MUMMY WILL HAVE TO GO BACK ON THE GAME, THEN."
This statement draws their attention to the hard work and financial burden they are as non-tax paying minors, while offering a fleeting reference to your dying sexuality and misshapen vagina. Either way, it gets them thinking. WIN.
So there you have it. Give them a go, and good luck. If you get arrested, let me know and I'll write my next column about it.*

Reviews« Daniel Rowland
Rowland has an inherent talent to clarify scores to a level where they communicate with a higher level of clarity
Beautiful as a diamond, incandescent as the radiant beams of the sun and poetic as the night of the full moon
Chiemgauer Musikfrühling, Traunstein, Germany, May 2016
Financial Times, Shirley Apthorp
"among this year's highlights were organist Wolfgang Abendroth's seven-part arrangement of Alban Berg's violin concerto, all the more effective for its intimacy, with Daniel Rowland giving a lyrically intelligent account of the solo part; and a surreal but startlingly plausible version of Shostakovich's 15th symphony for violin, cello, piano and three percussionists."
" How did he maintain such an incandescent level of tension throughout a piece as long and as involved as the Franck sonata and how many musical volts were coursing through that bow? His tone was silky smooth and sweet as honey and he seemed to be in another world, eyes closed and breathing in the very soul of the music. "
Korngold's concerto is surely one of the most "lirico dramatico" in the violin repertoire; fiendishly difficult and brilliantly composed with expansive and colourful orchestral writing.
Put the thought-provoking and always engaging violinist Daniel Rowland on the stage with an orchestra even more refined than two nights previously under Raiskin's guidance, and you get a very special musical experience.
And so it was. Rowland enlightened every lyrical, harmonic and melodic aspect of the work, as well as the fascinating diverse constructions of the solo and orchestral writings during the performance. With his magnetic music-making he transfixed this listener, resulting in an experience that lingered in the mind long after the concert. It is, undoubtedly, an evening that will be remembered for many moons to come.
"Stylish, tasteful and impeccable – but this was so much more: here was deep musical understanding that ranged from tender intimacy to the greatest excitement, always backed up by an astonishing technical ability."
" The success and conviction and of the Seasons lay with Rowland. He handles the violin as an extra, but 'integral' limb. He creeps round the stage as an enfant terrible, dragging you and the ensemble along with the force of his magical imagination. His sound, even without vibrato, is rich and sweet as honey, his interpretation full of mood-swings and he doesn't fear to let his violin scratch and groan."
" All beauties of violin playing were in evidence in this Brahms Concerto: calm bow arm, needless to say faultless intonation and highest musicality. As all of it was as in one breath with the orchestra, we witnessed a masterful performance. The stormy applause said it all.. "
" With a great sense of lyricism Daniel Rowland plays these gorgeous sonatas. His whole body plays the violin, not through exaggerated movements – it is a charisma that's hard to put into words. "
"… Rowland's spur-of-the-moment, light-on-the-bow inspiration, whereby the music vanished in the very act of articulation – a bewitching quality that few musicians possess "
"It was not just the technical brilliance of his playing or the astonishing richness of his tone that gave his performance its unique stamp of quality. He radiated a single-minded intensity that made him seem totally at one with the music."
" What an exceptionally fine soloist and leader this British/Dutch violinist is! We haven't had such an emotive, but also totally and truly a charismatic guest in a very long time.. .the emotions, smouldering passions, the melancholy: Rowland transported us with daring and severity into the composers soul"
" glorious playing…ravishing in its finesse."

I don't think it's baseless. I can't think of a single decent reason for a marriage to end in under a year. Also I recall them being interviewed on whatever radio station I was listening to on the way to work, it was all about being first, little or nothing I can recall about love and commitment.
I know heaps of people whose marriages have ended after about a year. People get married thinking it means things will change or improve, and when they find they've been living to a false expectation they have to face reality and move on. For women there can be the added dimension that the man really isn't what they want as the father of there children.
It's not an expectation that's limited to the couple. I got married this year and people have asked me constantly since "how is marriage" and I answer "the same as before but I have this ring". I'm always a little bit surprised that people have an expectation that my life has suddenly changed.
The Herald writes articles based on people's Facebook pages, Stuff writes articles about people's comments on it's [non] news articles. All you do by raising it here is legitimise their idiocy. Well that's my reading of why people are getting grumpy with you.
None of those reasons are "decent" reasons for a marriage to fail after less than a year.
Thing is, people are so sensitive right now about homosexuality and no-one dare suggest/suggest/infer anything bad about them. Had I have made the same comments about a Celebrity couple, everyone would have been on the bandwagon rah rah attention seeking prats blah blah.
Fair enough the facts may not be fully in, I'll accept my part in that, but people need some perspective on the other side of this too.
I've requested the topic be locked or removed since it seems to have everyone so hot under the collar.
People arent annoyed that it's because it's a same sex couple, people are annoyed because the Herald has no right to publish stuff that's got no factual reasoning, and people are then using it to say crap about how this is the start of the downfall of marriage, I told you so blah blah, just like they did before it was legalised.
I disagree, I think people ARE upset and defensive because it's a same sex couple. The Herald can publish what it likes, the couple put themselves in the limelight, and furthermore the poem is on social networking sites. If you want privacy then don't publish there, they have only themselves to blame.
Regardless of all of that, the thread has run it's course, not really much more to be said of any value.

JCPenney Hits Lowest Price Since 1984 and 2 Other Hot Stocks to Watch
J.C. Penney & Co. (NYSE:JCP): Current price $9.00
Shares touched $8.59 on Monday, representing their lowest level since November 1984, over fears about the retailer's turnaround prospects and financial situation. Investors were jittery after Penney's said late Thursday that it is selling 84 million shares to raise cash with its underwriter authorized to sell an additional 12.6 million shares. The company also forecast that it would have had $1.3 billion cash left at the year end, versus its August projection of $1.5 billion without selling the shares. Its stock has fallen in 13 of the last 15 trading sessions, obliterating some two-fifths of its value.
Sirius XM Radio Inc. (NASDAQ:SIRI): Current price $3.87
On Monday, Delaware Chancery Court Judge Leo Strine ruled that Sirius investors may not go forward with a lawsuit claiming that its directors allowed the billionaire John Malone's Liberty Media Corp. to assume control of the satellite-radio provider without paying a premium or holding a shareholder vote on the transaction. Strine rejected claims that Sirius's board improperly permitted Liberty Media officials to conduct a takeover of the broadcaster in 2009 in return for a $530-million loan to let the then-struggling company avert bankruptcy.
The judge said that investors waited too long to challenge the directors decision to enter the loan agreement that allowed Malone an opportunity to acquire the company. The judge also said that Sirius shareholders may not "sit on the sidelines benefitting from the investment Liberty Media made in Sirius until after the statute of limitations expires and then belatedly seek to deprive Liberty Media of the benefits of the contract it received in exchange."
General Electric Co. (NYSE:GE): Current price $23.97
GE Healthcare Life Sciences announced Monday that its Radiopharmacy Services division has attained The Gold Seal of Approval by demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission's national standards for healthcare quality and safety. GE Healthcare's national network of 31 Radiopharmacies are accredited as part of The Joint Commission's Home Care Accreditation program, and the GE division is now among a select group of accredited organizations providing pharmacy dispensing services.

Wincanton Racecourse to Host First Ever Side-Saddle Charity Flat Race
On Sunday, 25th October Wincanton will stage the first ever side-saddle charity flat race on a British racecourse in celebration of the Somerset track's two season association with the Southern Spinal Injuries Trust (SSIT) – held on the anniversary of The Charge of The Light Brigade.
The late October race day is synonymous as a fundraising fixture, and this year's event will make history with eleven lady jockeys elegantly dressed in the traditional side-saddle attire of a bygone era, galloping one mile, two furlongs in a dash to the winning line.
The Andy Stewart Charitable Foundation has generously sponsored the SSIT Side-saddle Dash which is an adaptation of the Diana's of the Chase Cup (DOC) - a two mile cross country side-saddle contest that was reinvented two years ago and is now an annual event held in Leicestershire. The DOC race was originally held in Gillingham, Dorset (last recorded in 1924) so it is apt that it returns to its Somerset roots.
The eleven lady jockeys taking part have a wealth of point-to-point, hunting and side-saddle experience and include the successful point-to-point jockey Clare Gundry, side-saddle devotee Philippa Holland and a number of female work riders. The ladies will race on appropriate thoroughbreds, largely ex-racehorses and will be led down to the start by the legendary Big Bucks ridden by Lucy Tucker.
"Last season, Wincanton's Chairman - Jo Hepburn – successfully created a Charity Committee from which we have formed a wonderful partnership with the Southern Spinal Injuries Trust.
"I love the originality of this inaugural Side-saddle Dash – the uniqueness of the race and its strong rural association really reflects all things Wincanton, and we very much hope the Dash is the first of many. I am sure that the day will raise a huge amount for the Southern Spinal Injuries Trust, which is such a worthwhile cause in the region."
- Huw Williams, Wincanton Racecourse's General Manager
"Our partnership with Wincanton Racecourse is a fantastic way for us to help more people with spinal cord injuries. All the side-saddle riders are fundraising for the charity, and donations can also be made at our website www.ssit.org.uk or at our Virgin Money Giving page. Our much-needed funds are used to provide grants that help injured people buy specialist equipment to make a real difference in their daily living."
- Sally Moger, Charity Manager at the Southern Spinal Injuries Trust
Gates open at 11.00am on Sunday, 25th October, with the Dash scheduled to take place before the first official race at 1.25pm.
Advance tickets start from £16 and are available online at www.wincantonracecourse.co.uk or by calling 0844 579 3014. Children aged 17 and under race free when accompanied by an adult.

Make it an experience!
So you are having your wedding in one of the most interesting places on planet earth. Jamaica is such a culturally rich country and it would be an absolute shame if you are here without experiencing at least some it.
What will we have the time to do though? Especially if our guests will be on island for just a few days?
Pleasure to give you those answers my loves.
Here are a few fun ways to get a good Jamaican experience.
Reggae Bonfire and BBQ
Instead of the traditional rehearsal dinner, let us plan a Reggae Night just for you and your guests. On the beach with fire blazing and lots of authentic Jamaican food and drink.
Mystic Masterclass
For a spiritual touch, we can arrange to have an ordained Rastafarian priest share the tenets of Rastafari and its 'livity' (way of life).
Other Fun Activities
Other pre-wedding activities include guided tours and shopping excursions. Since one of the great benefits of the destination wedding is that only your closest friends and family will likely surround you, we can plan some meaningful activities that you wouldn't plan if the wedding were a larger event. For example, you might plan a slumber party night with close friends that includes movies, popcorn and drinks in your hotel room, villa or cottage, depending on where the wedding is held.
Of course, if you plan a destination wedding, for some people this might double as their vacation.
All more reason to make it memorable.
Lovers of love, marriage and fabulous weddings!
October 2018

Property News
New homebuilding prospects waning again
It is easy to understand why building activity tends to track house prices. It has to do with demand and supply, and the profit margin of developers. Economists call it the price mechanism. In a free market, a deficit of supply relative to demand results in price increases, which pushes up the potential profit margin of developers, which triggers new supply, courtesy self-interested developers.
A bitter pill for a struggling industrial property market
Disappointing, although not entirely unexpected, was the waning in overall economic growth in the third quarter of 2010.
Steady vacancies signal slight reprieve for office rentals
The latest Rode's Report on the SA Property Market reveals that the upward march of office vacancies is seemingly losing momentum. This, says editor John Lottering, holds out hope for office landlords that market rentals will soon stabilise.
Improved vehicle sales a boon for industrial property vacancies
Great news for the Port Elizabeth industrial property market has been the resurgence, from the ashes, of new-vehicle sales.
Office vacancies seemingly leveling off
After showing the strains of weak economic activity for a number of quarters, office vacancies in both the decentralized and CBD markets are seemingly levelling off.
Industrial vacancies still on a par with longterm averages
A look at industrial vacancy trends shows that there is, as yet, no need for industrial property investors to panic and make friends with their bankers.
Property markets still hibernating
The property markets across the board are still in hibernation mode, according to the latest Rode's Report on the State of the Property Market.
The driver of malls' success turns the corner
Some cause for optimism for shopping-centre landlords has been the recovery in retail sales volumes over the past few months.
Market rentals showing impact of tougher economic times
The effect of the economic downturn on market rentals has now become strikingly evident.
Rode's Report on the SA Property Market 2010:1
Overall, the growth in market rentals for office space is still weak. According to the latest Rode's Report on the SA Property Market, this is especially evident in Cape Town (6%) and Johannesburg (4%) decentralized, where rentals were, on average, lower than what they were a year ago. But, this comes as no surprise in light of the faster northward march of prime-office vacancies in these two decentralized regions.

Today I needed a piano break. My piano breaks are those times when I just need to melt into a peaceful place and reflect for a bit. Not to say that I play well; I still wish I would have paid more attention during my elementary school piano lessons, but I was more interested in other things then.
I have always had a piano in my home. Well, except for the year or two when Ken promised he would learn how to play if we bought an organ instead of a piano because his Dad was a church organist for his entire life. Ken's playing career never did pan out, so I was allowed to get my piano back, and Ken decided to excel at golf instead. Gospel music has always sustained me. I feel the simplicity of the music with words that often speak to the very heart of both despair and hope.
A few weeks ago, a co-worker and friend was in deep despair and took his life. I knew he was depressed, but never dreamed that he was hurting so very much. I was angry. I was sad. I felt guilt. All those human emotions littered my way and I kept stumbling through the days with uncertainty and doubt.
At the memorial service, the pastor acknowledged Brett's despair and how those left behind can hardly fathom the deep pain that brings someone to the point of suicide. He reminded us that this senseless and tragic incident was Brett's choice. No one else chose it for him. But then the pastor walked to the middle of the sanctuary and reached out his hands to those left behind to deliver a message of encouragement and forgiveness. "It's not your fault," he said. "You could not have done anything to change the outcome. You are forgiven. Jesus died on that cross and laid down his life so that you can be free."
During a Bible study many years ago, I remarked that I believe that I don't have to ask Jesus to forgive me. I believe that I am forgiven because I am a child of God. A discussion ensued following my bold philosophical announcement. I further explained that instead of asking for Jesus to forgive me, I would far rather focus on asking for forgiveness from those here on earth whom I have wronged. Last week, a dear friend called me to remind me about the discussion we had on this topic during our Bible study. He said he gets it now. He didn't then.
Forgiveness starts with me. I am harder on myself than on anyone else. I see my own failures, inadequacies and shortfalls and am certain that everyone else sees them too. What if we choose to see us as Jesus sees us? How can that change how we feel about ourselves?
Put away the fear, uncertainty and doubt and replace it with courage and joy. We are so blessed. Quit beating up on yourself. Oh yes, there will always be those hard days. But today during my piano break, I turned to this song and was reminded how much I am loved.
The Way That He Loves
The way that he loves is as fair as the day
That blesses my way with light
The way that he loves is as soft as the breeze
Caressing the trees at night
So tender and precious is he
Contented with Jesus I'll be
The way that he loves is so thrilling because
His love reaches even me [editorial comment: oh how I love that phrase!! Even me!]
The way that he loves is as deep as the sea
His Spirit shall be my stay
The way that he loves is as pure as a rose
Much sweeter he grows each day
His peace hovers near like a dove
I know there's a heaven above
To Jesus I'll cling - life's a wonderful thing
Because of the way he loves
W Elmo Mercer
W. Elmo Mercer was born in 1932. He had no musical background and no college degree. He took two years of piano lessons in 4th and 5th grade and became a church pianist at age 13. He has now written more than 1,600 songs and had about 600 of them published/recorded. He lives in Nashville now with his wife and continues to be involved in evangelism work there.
You are a child of God. You are forgiven. Forgive those around you and be fully blessed!

England pace bowler Jofra Archer has extended his contract with Sussex until the end of the 2022 season.
Archer, 24, began his international career in stunning fashion in 2019 by winning the World Cup and then taking 22 wickets in a drawn Ashes series.
An elbow injury caused him to miss most of the winter tour of South Africa and the upcoming trip to Sri Lanka.
Archer said he is "making good progress" and has not given up hope of playing in the Indian Premier League.
It was originally thought he would not play for Rajasthan Royals in this year's IPL, which runs from 29 March to 24 May, because of a low-grade stress fracture in his right elbow.
However, in an interview with Sussex's club website, he said he has his "fingers crossed" about being involved in the tournament at some stage.
Archer 'like kid in a candy store' at Sussex
Archer has taken 196 wickets in all formats for Sussex since his debut for the county in 2016, including 131 wickets in 28 first-class matches.
"Sussex gave me my opportunity right at the beginning of my career, so I am very happy to commit long-term to the club," said Archer.
"I really do enjoy playing with everyone here at Sussex and it was really nice to come back down last year to play a few games with the lads.
"It's the same club that I left it as and it's nice to know nothing has changed. It most definitely still feels special to pull on the Sussex shirt."
Sussex head coach Jason Gillespie added: "I'm really looking forward to having him play for us when his England commitments allow. He loves playing for Sussex – he's like a kid in a candy store.
"We all love having him around, and seeing his improvements as a player has been great. Hopefully we can play a role in helping him continue to get better."
'It's not anyone's fault that you get injured'
England's first Test of the summer starts against West Indies at The Oval on 4 June.
When Archer's enforced absence was first announced, England Test captain Joe Root defended the team's use of the Barbados-born bowler amid claims he had been over-bowled.
Asked about people questioning his workload, Archer said: "It's not an issue for me and I don't think it's an issue for anyone.
"Anyone that knows me knows my capacity and what I can and can't do. It's not anyone's fault that you get injured, you're only human, bones can break."

Author(s): Doris Stevens; Angela P. Dodson (Introduction by)
The 100th-anniversary special edition of Jailed for Freedom, the essential history and first-person account of the courageous and militant suffragists who fought for their right to vote.
First published in 1920, Jailed for Freedom is the courageous, true story of the militant suffragists who organized some of the first-ever, large scale demonstrations and protests on Washington. At a time when President Woodrow Wilson's administration refused to acknowledge women's voting rights as a tangible issue, the National Woman's Party coalesced, organized, and fought a fierce battle for the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment with heroism, bravery, and radical vigilance.
What makes Jailed for Freedom especially compelling and such an important contribution to women's history is that it is a personal testimony from a suffragist who persevered through it. With depth and clarity, Doris Stevens details the bravery of the women who picketed daily outside the White House, opened themselves up to ridicule and physical violence, were arrested on no viable charges, jailed when they chose not to pay fines, and even beaten and force-fed when they went on hunger strikes.
Including a new introduction from suffrage historian Angela P. Dodson, author of Remember the Ladies, and accompanied with poignant, archival illustrations, Jailed for Freedom is a tribute to the women and acts it took the pass the Nineteenth Amendment, apropos of radical activism that is still mobilizing in politics today.

Evening dress
People and Brands:
Medium: Multicolor silk chiffon
Date: 1969
Country: England
Credit: Gift of Dawn Mellow
Zandra Rhodes began combining her printed fabrics with clothing of her own design in 1969. Her Knitted Circle print is used on the sleeves and bodice of this dress. The motif is a result of the designer's desire to interpret a knitted chain stitch in a flat, graphic manner. Although her unique chiffon dresses fit the dramatic mood of late 1960s fashion, Rhodes focused more on creating garments that harmonized with her textiles.

Strawberries & Cream Goat's Milk Soap
This soap is a cold process recipe and we will split the amount of water to dissolve the powdered goat's milk, so the total liquid amount will be the water listed in the recipe. We will pipe a fluffy top, so make sure to have a star tip and a piping bag ready for the topping.
This recipe includes the following ingredients
- Distilled Bottled Water
- Lye(NaOH)
- Lard
- Coconut Oil
- Rice Bran Oil
- Castor Oil
- powdered goat's milk
- Pink mica (Cosmic Carolyn)
- titanium dioxide
- Green mica (Soapberry green)
- Red mica (Lake 40 Red)
- Poppy seeds
- Strawberry fragrance oil
Let's get started. Safety gear yourself and pull out your bowls and stick blender. You'll need a blender and piping materials. First let's make our lye water solution. This recipe works with goat's milk powder and you will need to chill your lye solution before adding the goat's milk before adding it to prevent it from being scorched. For full details on how this is done to get the best quality bar, download the full recipe posted in the Lesson 6 in the learning library
ONE – Combine your oils and set them aside. Next, blend your two colorants with three tbs. of Canola (or any light oil). The pink mica should blend easily, but titanium dioxide takes a little more effort. Make sure all the little clumps are completely dissolved. Titanium dioxide is notorious for leaving little white pockets of nonblended powder, so take your time blending. For the shades of color used in the video demonstration use Cosmic Carolyn, Lake 40 Red, Soapberry Green, and Titanium Dioxide.
TWO – Once the water solution and milk are chilled, take them out of the freezer and combine them thoroughly. Pour this into the bowl of oils and blend with your stick blender. Give this a minute to completely emulsify, and separate the batter into two bowls. In a third small bowl as a small amount of soap, about 6 ounces.
THREE – Color one large bowl with the pink colored oil (Cosmic Carolyn), the other large bowl with the titanium dioxide, and the small bowl with Red 40 Lake. When these are blended well, add 1 – 2 tbsp. of poppy seeds into the pink soap. This will replicate strawberry seeds. Pour 1/2 of this soap batter into the bottom of the loaf mold.
FOUR – Gently spoon the white soap over the pink layer and allow it to softly sit on top of the first layer. Alternate spooning these two colors into the mold until you get to the second white layer. Leave a small portion of the white soap out of the last layer, and fill it into a piping bag with either a star tip or a large circle tip.
FIVE – When the soap has thickened to a piping consistency, pipe one layer on the top of the loaf. Then, with a large star tip pipe a large row of dark red soap down the center of the top. If you pipe this slightly at an angle the soap will settle and look like a strawberry sitting on its side on the cream. Finally, take the oil that has been colored green and drizzle it on top of the white cream top along the sides of the strawberry. Drizzle this just enough to look like a leafy embellishment. Top it off with a dusting of poppy seeds.
Allow this 24 hours to firm before cutting. This soap will need 4-6 weeks to cure before it is at it's best quality.

Membership is free and you will receive instant access to dozens of soap making tutorials and full recipes from Thermal Mermaid.

July 31 - Telkwa
Ernie first saw the George Frontage Road sign, and I spotted the flags, one Canadian and one U.S. on either side of the "Bulkley Field And Stream RV." All was exactly as Charlie had described it and we easily found Charlie and Leslie's home a few minutes out of Telkwa. We got there right on schedule 11:45 Sunday morning.
It was great to see Charlie again. We'd met in person only one other time, at the Edmonton Gathering of poets in 2003. He hasn't changed, and the little spot of paradise they inhabit is every bit as lovely as one would think from reading his poems.
We met Leslie, who was still in the middle of lunch preparations. So Charlie took us to the back to see her garden. Oh my. That meticulous and flourishing plot sure puts mine to shame! I also saw the raspberry patch – the one that appears in this poem. And Charlie pointed out the trees he wrote about in another.
Lunch was a tableful of delights - homemade cream of spinach soup, whole wheat biscuits still hot from the oven, several cheeses, salami, pickles and for desert, Saskatoon berry pie, ice cream. and we finished it off with Starbucks French roast. Of course, all this was accompanied by good conversation about writing and poetry and bootmaking and Leslie's avocation, genealogy.
Later they took us to walk beside the Bulkley River, which flows just behind the trailer park, and Charlie showed us his bootmaking shop. Then we went into town, checked into our motel, and the four of us walked the riverbank there.
We ended the evening with another great meal, this time at Three Bridges Restaurant. And the best part is, we've made plans to see Leslie and Charlie again on this trip. We'll be traveling to Prince Rupert in convoy with them later in the week.

a b.c. travelogue - 4
July 31 - Telkwa

Bill Clinton's famous quote coined during the 1992 election, 'it's the economy, stupid', can be ammended to reflect the current economic paradox…the economy keeps getting better (S&P up 26% in 2009) but jobs have yet to see improvement…clearly, 'it's the jobs, stupid'.
We have seen the majority of companies in San Francisco thinning their space, consolidating their workforce and downsizing. The unemployment in San Francisco is 12.3% leading to negative absorption. Some estimate the amount of excess space comes close to 20%, which bodes poorly for 2010 absorption numbers as leases roll over.
"We've never had this profitable a business cycle, while not hiring people and did not spend on capital improvements" said Bob Bauer, principal at Global Investors on a cnbc roundtable (view full video here) If companies are making more profits, what will provoke them to hire more people.
Carol Pepper, Pepper International, mirrors this idea. "Companies have the reason that profitability has been up, too, is that they've been able to keep the payrolls lower. And they've been able to increase, squeeze productivity a bit." Read the full Forbes Intelligent Investment typescript here.
According to many economists, we are in a positive feedback look, which means unemployment is peaking. The Forbes panel believes "green" jobs, small business and government funded stimulus will drive the recovery.
Companies who need less space should approach their Landlord early as there is still opportunity to 'blend and extend'. Additionally, rates are nearing a bottom in the financial district, so companies going leaner will be able to cut costs while improving quality of office space.
The Bay Area boasts a plethora of tech and online gaming, biotech and green tech firms to drive this economy out of a recession.

Google it, dear!
(actually, Pockys (Pockies?) are an originally Japanese confection, a sort of mini breadstick two thirds dipped in chocolate. They now come in milk or dark chocolate, and strawberry (blech), and are also available in a jumbo size.

Re:#95 -- You eat moles? I'd think there isn't much meat on one of them little buggers. (Just kidding!)
There is no whale on that list. Or haggis. Both of which I've eaten.
Eggs Bennie is my favorite breakfast food to order when I'm eating out.
How about green tea flavored Pocky? Ever perused JList.com? Lots of wacky Japanese snack foods.
What a fun meme.

Product Description
Quantum Nutrition Labs' Heart-PG, formulated by Dr. Bob Marshall, is a raw, beyond organic, live-source, whole food supplement containing Ayurvedic grade 10 ingredients which provides maximum efficacy and nutritional potency. Quantum Heart-PG is an extraordinary, nutrient dense product that really works! For detailed information regarding Quantum Nutrition Labs' superior ingredients, quality control testing procedures and unique manufacturing processes, please click here.
Imagine a tincture so powerful it can help dramatically improve your circulation and potentially decrease your risk of fatal heart attacks or stroke. Imagine that same tincture containing only the best, grade 10 ingredients that go beyond organic and processed with cutting edge techniques that make it extraordinarily effective. So effective that most people can feel it working within minutes of the initial dose. When was the last time you used a product like that? Quantum Heart-PG supports healthy blood flow, circulation, blood pressure and blood lipids and assists oxygen transport in red blood cells. Quantum Heart-PG also promotes warm extremities and helps improve varicose veins.
A Canadian named Jim Strauss, suffered a heart attack at the age of 58. He decided to forego surgery to remove a two-and-a-half inch arterial blockage in his heart. Instead, he turned to a combination of herbs made into a special tincture to help clean out the arteries. Clearly, he was successful and then recommended this formula to many other people with heart concerns. In Quantum Heart-PG, these same ingredients have been nanized making them super bio-available so great results are much faster. The secrets of Quantum Heart-PG are twofold. The first secret lies within the proprietary blend of quantum quality herbs that have served humanity throughout history, tapping into centuries of healing wisdom. All of the components of Quantum Heart-PG are 100% natural and were selected to work in harmonious synergy to achieve maximum benefit for the heart and circulatory system.
The second secret is what really raises the bar. Quantum Heart-PG is made using a special process known as "nanization." All ingredients are micro-digested into extremely small particles during a specialized fermentation process with powerful probiotic bacteria. The nanization process makes all the herbal constituents more bio-available, assuring extraordinary absorption. Since nanized phytonutrients are extremely easy to absorb, even those with compromised digestion system can realize the full benefits of this product.
"Nanized" Garlic
- Supports healthy blood lipids
- Contains diallyl sulfide which inhibits lipid peroxidation
- Promotes healthy red blood cell circulation
- Proven to inhibit blood platelets from sticking together
"Nanized" Cayenne Pepper
- Promotes healthy blood circulation
- Promotes healthy heart activity without increasing blood pressure
- Powerful synergist which enhances the effectiveness of other herbs
- Proven to induce increased fibrinolytic activity while simultaneously causing hypocoagulability (thinning of blood)
"Nanized" Cinnamon and Green Tea
- Assists fluid uptake and nutrient absorption throughout the body
- Helps strengthen coronary arteries
- Supports clearing of artery obstruction due to deposits of plaque
- Strong chemoprotective properties that protect against free radicals
"Nanized" Motherwort
- Helps reinforce healthy heartbeats without increasing heart rate
- Promotes healthy circulation to the heart
- Supports healthy blood pressure
- Protects against free radical damage
"Nanized" Hawthorne Berry
- Helps strengthen heart muscles
- Used successfully in a variety of heart health studies
- Helps protect the heart and vascular system from damaging free radicals
- Promotes improved contractility of the heart muscle
The herbal complexes in Quantum Heart-PG have gone through a proprietary process to break down their components into "nanized" phytonutrients. This means that the herbal complex has been micro-digested into extremely small, highly bio-available particles using Quantum Nutrition Labs' special fermentation process. Unique, potent multi-strain probiotic colonies are used to assist in the "nanization" process. This allows rapid, unmatched bio-available cellular delivery of the herbal complex's healing factors, unlike any other product. Most people can feel the effect of these products, including Quantum Heart-PG, the first time they take them.
Quantum Heart-PG Ingredients
|Amt. Per Serving
|Proprietary Blend
|2.5 ml
|Bear garlic (leaf)
|Cayenne (pepper)
|Cinnamon (bark)
|Hawthorne berry (fruit, leaf)
|Motherwort (leaf)
|Green tea extract (leaf)
|Garlic Extract (bulb)
|Recommended Daily Dosage: Take ½ teaspoon of Quantum Heart-PG mixed in 8 oz of water or juice, then sipped over the course of several hours in the morning. Can be taken 1 to 2 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
|Other Quantum Heart-PG Ingredients: Purified water, organic alcohol, organic molasses, natamycin (a natural mold inhibitor)
|The Nanized Process: All ingredients in Quantum Heart-PG are micro-digested into extremely small particles during a proprietary fermentation process using unique multi-strain probiotic colonies to allow rapid delivery into the cells. Since nanized phytonutrients are extremely easy to absorb, even those with poor digestion can reap the full benefit. This formula is preserved with premium grade, certified organic alcohol.
|Why Organic Alcohol: Top grade, organic alcohol is nature's perfect preservative. Its indigenous vasodilative properties function as a perfect transporter of nanized phytonutrients into the blood to deliver almost immediate uptake. For centuries, Oriental Medicine has known that nutrients preserved in alcohol directly target the liver, getting a faster, deeper response than when no alcohol is used. The organic alcohol used in Quantum Heart-PG is superior to others that contain pesticide and heavy metal residues not detected via lab testing.

Wearable devices, or devices incorporated into items of clothing or accessories worn on the body, are one of the latest trends in consumer technology. These devices are small enough to wear and include sensor technologies which collect and deliver data such as physical activity vital signs and location. Examples of popular wearables include the Fitbit, Apple iWatch, and the baby monitoring device Mimo. Insurers have taken a keen interest in wearables because of the new opportunity to engage with customers, the huge amounts of data they collect and the potential for harnessing this data to better assess risk and tailor business approaches. However, wearables have expanded from fitness trackers to devices collecting a far greater range of health data. It is unclear who exactly owns the data and if companies are sharing the data generated by wearables. While consumers like the potential benefits wearables promise, there are concerns related to the potential for privacy invasion and security breaches.
Wearables and the Insurance Industry
Wearable technology achieved mainstream popularity with the Bluetooth headset in 2002, although some older technologies like hearing aids are considered wearables as well. Between 2006 and 2013, iconic wearable technology devices like Nike+, Fitbit, and Google Glass were released. Wearable technology is now more popular and diverse than ever. More than one in five internet users wear some type of wearable device on their wrist daily. From 2007 to 2017, Fitbit sold more than 60 million devices, yet only holds the third largest share of the global wearables market behind Apple and Xiaomi as of 2018. The rise in wearables reflects an increasing desire to know about and manage our own health. According to a 2016 study, 65% of people think technology has an important role to play in health and wellbeing.
Wearable technology has already entered the life and health insurance space. Health professionals are using wearables like smart or implantable devices for patient monitoring, diagnostics, and drug delivery. When enabled with analytics, wearables can be used by consumers to manage their health and by insurers and employers to improve wellness. John Hancock, one of the oldest U.S. life insurance companies, recently announced that they will stop underwriting traditional life insurance and instead sell only interactive policies that track fitness and health data through wearable devices and smartphones.
Some of the potential uses of wearable technology in the insurance industry include underwriting, risk management, new product development, workers' compensation, and claims management. Life insurers could use wearables to replace or supplement medical exams often used in the underwriting process, reducing costs and improving data quality. Both life and health insurers are exploring the use of fitness tracking wearables to incentivize physical activity and other healthy lifestyle choices. Lastly, some wearables can relay real-time information to assist in claims processing, capturing video, pictures, or audio to document property damage or take statements from witnesses.
As with many emerging technologies, issues of consumer privacy with wearables are chief concerns. These devices collect a huge amount of data, including data considered protected health information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). However, in many cases it is unclear who the data belongs to (the consumer or the company) as well as how the data can be used, shared, or sold. With cybersecurity attacks on the rise, there is also a possibility this data may be stolen or exposed.
Another concern is the lack of information or testing about the accuracy of data collected by wearables. The accuracy of data generated is a concern since fraud could easily be accomplished if companies do not achieve sufficient protections like fingerprinting or other identification measures. A number of studies have compared various wearables for tracking physical activity and results showed large variations between different devices. Finally, wearables have created interesting legal issues for litigants. Because wearables present new sources of personal and physical data, legal experts have started to recognize wearable devices as the human body's "black box". Data from these devices have already been used in several personal injury claims cases.
The NAIC's Innovation and Technology (EX) Task Force is charged with monitoring emerging technologies like wearables in the insurance sector. The Task Force provides a forum for discussion of innovation and technology developments in the insurance sector to provide resources for and educate state insurance regulators on how these developments impact consumer protection, insurer, and producer oversight. Additionally, the NAIC Center for Insurance Policy and Research (CIPR) conducted a webinar entitled "Wearables and Their Implications in Insurance" in 2017. The webinar provides an overview of wearable devices, explores some of the benefits and challenges, and discusses their insurance implications. A replay of the webinar is available free of charge on the CIPR website.

Constipation refers to a condition characterized by irregular bowel movements and difficulty in passing stools. While occasional constipation is somewhat common with most people, chronic constipation requires medical attention and lifestyle changes. If you have sudden and unexpected trouble with bowel movements, Urgent Clinics Medical Care is here to help you manage the problem.
There are a few common signs of constipation, including
In rare cases, patients may have other symptoms, such as vomiting.
Typically, patients dealing with constipation are advised to increase their regular intake of water. Drinking warm liquids in the morning can help in passing stools easily. There are a few mild over-the-counter stool softeners that healthcare providers may suggest, depending on symptoms. Laxatives may be taken, but shouldn't be used for a long period unless suggested by a medical professional. The first line of treatment should always address changes in diet and lifestyle, while medicines for softening stools in case of sudden and unexpected constipation may be suggested.
If you have consistent constipation for more than two weeks, you must seek medical care to determine if there are any underlying causes.
Professional healthcare should be sought when
Constipation can generally be avoided with proper diet and nutrition. Try to increase your water intake by two to three glasses each day, while including plenty of fiber and bran. Fresh foods and vegetables are essential for chronic constipation patients, and if needed, supplements may be taken for fiber. Foods, especially processed, are best avoided. If constipation is trigger by a medicine, your doctor may make changes in your previous prescription. Exercise is always recommended for chronic constipation.
Influenza, otherwise known as the flu, is a contagious respiratory infection that causes fever, headaches, and muscle soreness. Our clinics are well equipped to test for flu types A/B and to treat for with antiviral medication.
Fever, which usually refers to a rise in body temperature above the normal 98.6° F, can be an indication of an underlying illness or condition, typically an infection. With fever, most patients have a sense of discomfort, body pain and other symptoms, which can aid in identifying the underlying cause.


text: Controversial Godman Nithyananda Swamy kept quiet in recent past after many allegations on him. But, he is back in the news with his latest move surprising one and all. As per the sources from media, it is confirmed that Nityananda invited Kollywood beauty Nayanatara to his ashram. He conveyed his message to Nayantara through his follower and former actress Ranjitha. Reportedly, his message to Nayanatara goes as, "Some of your close persons moved away from you. With this, you are disturbed and suffering a lot. You can get relief from your sufferings, if you can come to my ashram." However, Nayanatara rejected the invitation immediately. Earlier also, the Nityananda invited Bollywood actress Swetha Tiwari to his ashram. However, the actress did not respond at his invitation.

900 gone and still counting are official figures and media people are not allowed inside the Gaza strip. They have twisted rules of war where women, children, religious, medical and educational institutions should be spared. "Rules" are meant for convenience and this war has proved that. The amount of civilian and child casualty this 2 week of war has seen is enormous. More than 250 children have been killed and same numbers comprising of women.
It is amusing to me. They should halt violence as early as possible and try to stabilize the region. We have had enough. Israel has unleashed a flurry of future weapons on its poor neighbour left, right and centre. The pictures released by the IDF and independent photographs leaves heavy doze incentives and applaud to private Israeli as well as government weapon manufacturers. Although the Israeli army insists that they are using weapons prescribed by the UN at the same time refused to name the kind of lethal toxics used to neutralize petty militants. For example the IDF is using artillery fired white phosphorus used as smoke screen and should not be used in civilian area. My question is 'are they fighting a superpower"? To make matters worse comes a comment from Major General Yoav Galant, the head of the army's southern command, that the assault is a "once in a generation" opportunity to strike and "If we don't do that we'll be missing an historic opportunity" he was quoted as saying in the Israel based Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Before he suffered a stroke in 2011, James "Kimo" Akaka was a successful chef. He owned a catering business and spent every moment he could in the ocean.
"The water is his life," said his friend Corinne Makahilahila.
But after the stroke, Akaka's life changed dramatically.
He was partially paralyzed and lost his ability to speak. He communicates now through text messages and hand gestures.
"Every day for him, the normal things that we do, is like a monumental challenge for him. He gets up and he goes at it again and again and again," Makahilahila said.
Akaka's drive is indeed amazing.
With one arm and willpower, he's pushed his body through rough water swims and paddled across the Kaiwi Channel several times.
Using a bicycle modified by triathlete trainer and BOCA Hawaii owner Raul Torres, Akaka's crossed the finish line in Honolulu Marathons and Great Aloha Runs.
"It's very difficult. If you think riding a bike is tough uphill in a normal bike, imagine doing that on a bicycle you have to pedal with your arms," Torres said.
Pushing his limits, Akaka once completed a 100-mile bike ride across Texas with a group of military wounded warriors.
Makahilahila's making a documentary on his life. She videotapes his races to capture the action ― and reaction.
"That part really touches me," she said. "So many people are wanting to help him. You'll see people dive in the water at the moment they see he's struggling."
Akaka, 59, is the father of three.
He credits poi for keeping him healthy, regular exercise for keeping him strong, and the encouragement from friends and strangers that keep him going.
He's an example of what the mind can do.
"There's no limit for him. That's what really attracts me to build that relationship with him," Torres said.
Later this year, Akaka will pedal his bike in the New York City Marathon.
