text: Home and Garden Keep your laundry fragrant for longer With these tips, your clothes will not only smell lovely, but you'll shrink your laundry pile, too With these tips, your clothes will not only smell lovely, but you'll shrink your laundry pile, too While little compares to the piles of dirty clothes you washed daily when the kids were young, doing laundry can still feel like an endless task. But if your clothes smell lovely for longer (and you don't roll around in any mud, for example), you will automatically cut down your laundry load as you won't necessarily need to wash everything every day. So, with this in mind, here's how to make your clothes smell lovely, and keep them that way. Throw wet items straight in the washing machine If you put wet towels or sweaty gym gear in the laundry basket, the dampness and smell will seep into your other items. And the smellier your clothes pre-wash, the harder it will be to get them fresh and fragrant. Instead, throw wet items directly into the washing machine drum, ready for when you have a full load to run. Don't overload the machine If clothes don't have enough space in the drum to really move around, the detergent can't properly work its sweet-smelling magic. You should always be able to fit the width of your hand above the laundry load. Use a detergent with your favourite scent The primary opportunity to make your laundry smell divine is with your choice of detergent. Bold 2in1 Pearl capsules combine the cleaning power of Bold detergent with a boost of Lenor softness and freshness. Infusing your laundry with a gorgeous scent, you can choose from soothing Lavender & Camomile, refreshing Lotus Flower & Water Lily, uplifting Sparkling Bloom & Yellow Poppy, exotic Plumeria & White Orchid or luxurious Silk Flower & Gold Freesia. So not only will your laundry come out clean, but smelling gorgeous too. And if you stick to our next suggestions, the scent will last even longer. Dry clothes as soon as the cycle has ended If you leave wet clothes in the washing machine for any longer than 30 minutes, they will start to smell of damp. So pop them into the tumble dryer or hang them on the clotheshorse as quickly as possible to stop this from happening. Dry the laundry well If you are air-drying your items, make sure you don't cram them onto the clotheshorse. You need to make sure there's sufficient space between your clothes for the air to circulate. If the weather allows, dry clothes outside in the sunshine. And make sure your items are 100% dry before putting them away, otherwise those damp smells will return. Keep your wardrobe fresh If you don't wear an item very often, it can get musty tucked away in your wardrobe. To avoid this, don't cram all your clothes in, leaving no space between them. Instead store your out-of-season items in vacuum bags and put them under the bed, for example. Try popping lavender bags in the bottom of your wardrobe and in drawers. An open packet of baking soda also works well for removing moisture and odours. If an item needs a last-minute refresh, squirt it with some Febreze Fabric Refresher to eliminate odours and leave a fresh, subtle scent. Wear a cami You only really need to wash items that come in direct contact with the sweaty parts of your body after one wear. So keep blouses, shirts and dresses fresh by wearing a camisole, vest or light T-shirt underneath them. Then you only need to wash them every three or four wears. Air clothes after wearing them If you can get another wear out of an item before washing, don't shove it straight back in the wardrobe or – even worse – in a pile on the floor. Instead, air it out by hanging it by an open window or on the back of a door before putting it away. Found this helpful?

When I participated in Deepak Chopra's meditation for compassion this past week, he said several things which really resonated with me. I think one of the most important for people to hear was his response to a question about forgiveness: "Forgive not because the other person deserves it, but because you deserve peace." The simplest words can be the most profound.

by Stevie Berryman, Houston Chamber Ringers
I like to think that I am neither selfish nor greedy, but when it comes to handbells I want all the toys, all their friends, and even their weird cousin. I've programmed for bells and theremin, bells and spoons, bells and referee whistle, so I'm comfortable combining other instruments with bells.
The easiest (and most versatile) instrument I have found to add to my bell choir has been the Cajon. This simple wood box is a lot like handbells in that it's easy to play but difficult to master. It's the "easy to play" aspect that makes it such a win for a bell choir which is not usually staffed with trained percussionists. It's alright, neither am I. But I can sit on a box and smack with my hand in a steady rhythm and fortunately, the box does the rest.
Reasons You Fear Cajons:
1. If I sit on it, I'll break it. Wrong. It's big, it's solid, and there's no way I'm going to tell you what I weigh, but it holds me just fine.
2. I don't know what to do. Can you clap your hands? Yeah, it's like that.
3. There aren't any notes written for me to play. Pick your own rhythm. Try playing on one, two, and four (like in this video). Play "ta ta ti-ti ta." Or, pick a rhythmic line from the song you are playing and just double it on the Cajon (like in this video).
4. Everyone will know if I make a mistake. No one will know, because you are likely making up your part as you go. It's not a mistake, it's improvisation!
5. I don't know how to play a Cajon. Sit on the box so that your legs straddle it. Tap, pat, or smack it in different places, and notice what happens. If you reach down low on the front of the box you'll notice more bass tones. The upper edge gives a brighter treble sound. Fingertips sound different than the heel of your hand, which sounds different than the flat of your palm. None of these sounds are "wrong." The different tonalities add interest to the part, just as different techniques add interest to the sound of handbells. Honestly...you can't mess this up.
6. I only need it for one song, and then I might not use it again. Adding a Cajon to your instrument inventory is a bit like adding chimes, but at a fraction of the cost. Yes, there are a few pieces that require chimes to showcase their full potential. But there is a plethora of pieces that benefit from the addition of chimes, even when they aren't specifically called for in the score. A Cajon brings a new dimension and color to your music, whether or not there is a specific written percussion part. If your music is contemporary, pop/rock, praise, mallet heavy, or non-western, it would most likely benefit from adding Cajon.
7. All my ringers are busy, so I don't have anyone to play it. Your Cajon is like the gateway drug into handbell addiction. You don't have to know anything about handbells to play it: you just need a decent sense of rhythm. That means you can look beyond your circle of ringers to find a player. And I'm sure you know a child or youth who would love to bang on a box for one of your songs. Honestly, it's just as much fun to play as it looks!
So, give a Cajon a try. No fear! You are going to sound amazing.
For specific Cajon playing instruction, see our Blog post Cajon 101 Hands-On Practice by James Mobley.
About Stevie Berryman:

She's been ringing ever since all over the country, and is a former member of the Houston Bronze Ensemble. She has a particular passion for teaching children how to ring, and her innovative methods have made her a sought after educator at handbell festivals and in private clinics.

It's my stop on the Paper Obsessed blog tour , and I figured I'd share a bit something previous and new. Brian and I agreed to tackle this project for the reason that folks we purchased the home from had already been so accommodating to fix so many other items up thus far and honestly we just needed to get in to the home already, so whatever it was going to take to move the process along, we had been on it! My grandfather instructed me when his little daughter and granddaughter have been sick a hen flew in the house. There is not any set period of time to ventilate a home – it varies depending on how a lot moisture is in the air inside and how much exterior, in addition to the temperature and the airflow charge. I discovered plenty of three-bedroomed terraced homes marketed for sale priced at round £fifty five,000, all within a ten-mile radius of Hull City Centre.

This house rules properties, food, laundry, and home items you care about or should be comfy. Wouldn't you know it, no ahead of I started writing this weblog submit, than the solar got here out! Totnes is constructed on a hill rising from the west bank of the River Dart, and has a mainline railway station. Ele has additionally started the method of making the forest garden in entrance of the house. However i'm away for 2 weeks soon, the home will be empty, i will depart heating on low, but ought to i go away dehumidifier on as properly?.
What I thought was nice about that was choosing the home collectively, rather than one in every of us having a house and the opposite dwelling in a house s/he wasn't concerned in choosing. This hub lists the top promote your personal house web sites, so you might have a useful listing and might shortly decide as to whether it is right for you or not.

The Ninth House embodies the love principle, where individuals can acquire a lot from religious inspiration to manipulate their consciousness and learn to stay in harmony, and develop a social conscience. The Fifth House is dominated by Leo, so is a sunny place filled with children, amorous affairs that most certainly not be too critical, parties, and all pleasurable feelings. That earlier property, the place my grandfather had also construct a house of his personal design, was taken away by the state through eminent area for the creation of a state park that the government had hoped would herald crucial tourist dollars.
The south-east is dear whether or not you live in an excellent area or a not-so-good area, and in all the regions I point out above, the dearest properties are generally still much, less expensive than a comparable house in Sussex, Surrey or Hampshire. You see, the door that results in the garage into the house gets severely banged up -particularly from the surface which is proven here. Orientation – Check the orientation of the home in relation to the sun angle and the way natural lighting will penetrate the house.

Financial professionals are increasingly finding time management a major challenge to conducting business in the micro-to-small retirement plan market, a recent series of surveys found.
The surveys were conducted following Guardian Retirement Solutions 401(k) G2 Summits: Gain and Grow. A national series of interactive educational events for financial professionals, the Gain and Grow Summits were attended by close to 270 people in eight major markets across the country over the last 60 days.
At the conclusion of each of the summits, 65 percent of survey respondents indicated that they saw a large opportunity in the micro-to-small plan retirement market with 100 percent of respondents reporting they were likely to take on more business in this sector once they locate and utilize the proper support partners and learn how to navigate the nuances of the market.
With more than 50 million Americans currently participating in employer-sponsored 401(k) plans and most people falling in the small business to micro market, it is easy to see why financial professionals view this segment as a large opportunity.
Although time management was the key hurdle that respondents identified as keeping them from conducting business in the market, resource management (39 percent), fiduciary responsibilities (27 percent) and government regulations (23 percent) were also cited as reasons for staying out.

Good Afternoon Everybody,
Wow! 17 straight days in the 90's around here, I can't complain though with Dallas hitting 100 degrees 30 days in a row - whew! Things are hot but otherwise pretty calm around here.
We're putting the finishing touches on my Summer Success Collection [link] which is about the best collection of valuable FREE items along with my Captured By The Light 5 DVD set. I think its the best educational value of 2011. You won't believe it until you see it. You can get a preview right here. I'll give you all the info tomorrow.
Last week, I told you about this Thursday's upcoming sales/marketing webcast with Charles Lewis. I pulled the trigger and let the world know about it today and I hear it's already booked up. I hope you got registered early. I'll look into re-broadcast possibilities.
Now Some Giant News!!!
Hit this link right here and prepare to be amazed as you check out the Photographic Super Bowl event of a lifetime! You won't believe it until you see it – once again, here is the link. That's all I'm saying for now - I'm rolling out more details this week.
On that high note, it's time to get on with Technique Tuesday. Here we go...
Tunnel Vision – Photographically Speaking, Its A Good Thing
OK, the title is a bit misleading but when you see the video you'll see what I'm talking about. I've seen a lot of photographers trying to take good outdoor family portraits. They go for the best expressions, place a nice directional light on the subjects, and have the people positioned in a decent location.
In today's tutorial I want to show you how you can improve on that last point. Like they say, location is everything. And, that's especially true when it comes to portraits. Understanding how to find the best location for portraits takes a little practice and a trained eye. It's not just about a pretty background behind the subject, but it's also how that background contributes to the overall composition of the image.
In this tutorial I'll walk you through the finer points of background selection for family portraits, or any portraits for that matter. Why not hit the PLAY button and see what I'm talking about. I think you'll enjoy the lesson today.
Hey gang, that's it for me today. Because of today's late post, look for tomorrow's post to pop sometimes in the afternoon.
OH, I almost forgot, I just set up my Scott Kelby Photo Walk scheduled for Saturday, October 1, 2011 kicking off at 10:00 a.m. [link] I don't have all the details yet, but still wanted to give you a heads up so you can get registered. It will be fun, I promise.
Have a great rest of the day, stay cool, and keep smiling ;~)

Synopsis from Amazon: I see dead people. But then, by God, I do something about it. Odd Thomas never asked for his special ability. He's just an ordinary guy trying to live a quiet life in the small desert town of Pico Mundo. Yet he feels an obligation to do right by his otherworldly confidants, and that's why he's won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death. But when a childhood friend disappears, Odd discovers something worse than a dead body and embarks on a heart-stopping battle of will and wits with an enemy of exceptional cunning. In the hours to come there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope.
You're invited on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror and transcendence to wonders beyond imagining. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas
Yet again, I find myself hooked to a series. This time, I'm thinking, "Why didn't I discover this one sooner?" I've been missing out all these years.
Forever Odd is book 2 in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz. This one started off a bit slow, in my opinion, but (and that's a big but), it picked up momentum quickly.
So his friend was kidnapped and the friend's stepfather murdered. His leads were not bodachs this time around. This book was more focused on his psychic magnetism. As much as I like hearing about the creepy bodachs, I didn't get a large dose in this novel. Koontz made up for it tenfold, though.
Odd's senses and the kidnapper's demands led him to believe that he must follow all the leads alone. Hence, a lack of involvement from Chief Porter until the very end. Odd chases the bad guys (and gal) solo with no weapons. So, no bodach, no Chief Porter. Again, just when I thought it was going to be a weak tale, it definitely was not.
Basically, a sadistic woman had charmed his friend Danny via a phone sex hotline, and Danny told her Odd's life story because she mentioned she was into the whole ghost and spirit thing. Naturally, he saw an opportunity to impress her and win some points, so he took it, not thinking she'd morph it into a murderous cat-and-mouse chase at a deserted hotel in the middle of nowhere with him tied to a chair that was linked to a bomb and Odd's imminent death as part of her evil plan.
This was where things started to get very interesting, as in, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Datura, the villain, and her 2 thug companions used Danny to lure Odd to the hotel in hopes he could make her dreams of seeing ghosts come true. That's all this crazy lady wanted. That's all this whole thing was about, her fascination with spooks and the fact that Odd was the closest thing to them she had heard of thus far, thanks to Danny. She needed Odd as a medium. She wanted to connect with the other side, to see their dead faces, experience the horror as nothing more than a thrill.
- One thing that amazed me about this story was that Koontz was able to create an entire novel just based on their activities inside this old motel.
- His description of the floors and stairwells and dark corners and lifts had me thinking he has some intricate knowledge of architecture. When a writer can create such a feeling, you know he's a master of his trade.
- I also enjoy Koontz's writing because he provides such imaginative descriptions, it makes me feel like I'm watching a movie, not reading a book in my hands.
- His vocabulary is mountainous. I always learn new words when reading his books. He's good at ending chapters with a twist to make you want to continue reading.
- He provides the unpredictable turns that make the story remarkable. When I read Koontz, I always pause at certain scenes, close my eyes, and try to predict what will happen next or how the protagonist with get himself out of a seemingly impossible situation. I am almost always wrong, which is exactly what I want, the element of surprise.
The only dislike I had was the fact that I didn't have book 3 waiting. I went to the book store the next day, and they didn't have it. *sad face* So I ordered it on Amazon, and it should be in my mailbox by Wednesday next week, two-day shipping thwarted by it being the Christmas holidays, but no worries. It'll be worth the way. And I'll tell you all about it when the time comes. In the meantime, I'm indulging in some sci-fi.
Happy reading!

"I was the last guy at Redskins Park to see him the day he left. I saw him in the parking lot, and he was like, 'Check this out.' He was all thrilled because his knee was almost there. We spent a few minutes talking. I did not know he was going to Florida. And then we played, and then I got that phone call. I miss him."
Things appear to be going in that direction. Adams was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, a sign that he has progressed through most of the concussion protocol. Also, running back Ty Montgomery practiced Wednesday on a limited basis with a large protective covering on his broken ribs, something he would almost certainly have to wear if he were to play Sunday at Dallas. — Rob Demovsky
Rodgers completes to Cobb for 26 yards. The Packers are now on the Bears' 12.
The Packers take the ball at the Bears' 42.
Interception. Glennon's pass is picked off by Kentrell Brice. That's the second interception tonight for Glennon.
Touchdown, Packers. Another easy pitch-and-catch from Rodgers to Nelson. It's Cheap Hockey Jerseys 28-7, Packers. The Bears turned a productive red zone stop into an easy Packers touchdown with the penalty.
Marcus Mariota and DeMarco Murray used Seattle's defense of all things to Cheap Goalie Jerseys Soccer get back on track, complementing each other at a high level. Deshaun Watson has provided more than just a spark for Houston's offense — he's downright carrying it by passing the ball around and running for big plays, too. Mariota has a lot more diverse help around him, and Murray and Derrick Henry's pounding can wear down the Texans' pass rush.

ASP.Net MVC 5 automatically adds a HTTP header called X-Frame-Options with the value SAMEORIGIN to your web application. That header is intended to prevent click jacking and makes sure your site can't be loaded in an IFrame.
You can find more information about this header here.
But if you want to display your web application in an IFrame, the header is a pain the ass. The information about how to disable this header is not easy to find, the only solution I found is on a Japanese blog.
The solution is easy to implement; you can disable the header by placing the following code in your Global.asax.cs file.

Fabric used for upholstery, draperies, and wall coverings. An extraordinary variety of decorator fabric is available to modern consumers. Braemore, Covington, P. Kaufmann, and Robert Allen are among the leading lines of décor fabric. Some interior design fabrics are suitable for either upholstery or draperies, but many are designed for a specific purpose. Décor fabric is available in virtually any fiber imaginable. Woven cotton prints and solids are popular. Polyester, viscose, nylon, and rayon are other fibers used to create durable interior decorating fabrics. Prints range from floral to scenic to novelty, along with geometric designs. Weaves include plain and textured.
A cotton twill weave fabric created by the use of different colors for the warp and weft yarns. Because of the twill weaving process, the fabric appears to be primarily a solid color. Denim is sometimes also called "blue jean material" because it is the standard fabric for jeans. To prevent shrinking and fading, Denim should be pre-washed and dried two times or more before laying it out.
|Denim Upholstery Material
A sturdy woven cotton fabric suitable for upholstering cushions, arm chairs, sofas, and recliners. Denim upholstery material is woven in the same way as the denim used for blue jeans, but it is heavier. If a casual, or playful look is desired, consider denim upholstery fabric.

It comes in traditional denim blue and several other stylish colors, including white, natural, tomato red, butter yellow, and indigo.

A fabric with two layers of knitted loops made on a special machine. These interlocking layers form a strong knit which appears the same on each side. Most double knit is made with 150 denier polyester, but it is also available in finer yarns.

Today, ticking is available in a variety of attractive colors and stripe patterns. Tightly woven upholstery fabrics are also down proof and come in an amazing range of patterns. Many drapery fabrics are also tightly woven enough to be down-proof. Down pillow inserts/forms are covered with down-proof fabric, providing an extra measure of protection when they are covered.
|Drapery Fabric
Any fabric suitable for making drapes. Specially designed drapery fabric is available. Braemore and Covington fabrics are some of the leading lines of fabric for drapes. Drapery material ranges from sheers, such as batiste, voile, and gauze to heavy fabrics, such as brocade. The fibers used in these fabrics include cotton, silk, polyester, and hemp.

Markets On Edge
By Duru
October 10, 2005
(In this piece I present several strong points of view on the direction of stocks. Click here for my disclaimer).
By the looks of the selling in housing stocks, it seems the market is finally ready to bet on the end of the housing boom for this cycle. I follow a small basket of homebuilder stocks: CTX, PHM, HOV, CTX, TOL, LEN, and KBH. KB Homes (KBH) was the last of these to hang onto the 200-day moving average (DMA) of price for dear life. This line is often treated as a line in the sand dividing long-term bullishness from long-term bearishness. I suspect that there remain plenty of housing and real estate enthusiasts out there who will gladly bid these stocks back up given how "cheap" they have gotten, but I will certainly not be one of them. Any such rallies will invite better entry points for shorts.
At the same time, the oil and gas sector has experienced a harsh and swift correction that has everyone wondering whether the bull market in energy is also coming to an end. Since no one has announced any new refineries, major new oil fields, or major new gas deposits, the only way we have seen a cyclical top is if the economy is truly about to slide into recession. You can place your bets how you wish, but I suspect that the economy will keep muddling along as it continues to adjust to this higher inflation and higher interest rate environment (stagflation?!). In the meantime, you might do good to examine closely for yourself the case against and for energy. One of my favorite authors on this topic, Chris Edmunds, wrote a timely piece called "Energy's Pullback Could Be Opportunity." The more folks are quick to hop on the bandwagon of calling a top (again) in oil and gas, the more bullish I get. Compare the sentiment in energy to the sentiment in housing where hope springs eternal and constant selling still has not convinced a significant number of people to call a top. I am currently licking my chops at this current pullback in energy stocks. Many of the stocks I follow in this sector are resting precariously on the edge of major support levels. If these also get broken, I expect another strong wave of selling to ensue. I would still consider this an excellent opportunity to get back into energy stocks for longer-term holdings, but I would have to study individual stories more carefully to determine what land mines might be out there. Stocks with high yields get first notice.
For stock enthusiasts and other chart-watchers, you
would also do good to check out the action in the ETFs
for international markets like EWZ, EZA, EWJ, EWC, and EWA. I remain bullish on all of them, especially
the markets like
Retail stocks remain a mixed bag, and I still refuse to make wholesale bets against the American consumer. We sure know how to spend and seem to come up with new and creative ways to import more goods and finance even more of it. So, this remains a place where individual stories are more important that the overall retail outlook.
Finally, gold has been on an amazing tear. The bears are finally ready to step up and loudly declare their disapproval with the current economic outlook. I am kicking myself for having sold out of my own holdings before this recent run. I used to maintain a core holding and trade around it but a while back decided to just get out altogether. I am crossing my fingers for one more decent-sized dip to climb back on board that bearish train.
The market is truly on edge, and the Fed helped bring us here on purpose. October is a month that traditionally brings us to the brink of some sort of selling calamity in the market when times are getting testy. Earnings are coming up and folks sitting on any profits might be more inclined to play it safe and cash in now. Folks who are sitting on losses might decide to play it safe and get out while they can. The flip side of this drama is that these sell-offs often prove excellent entry points for going long - even if the ensuing rally ends up being short-lived.
The Fed better watch out - they might just get what they want!
Be careful out there!
(Note that I have not posted actual stock charts for a while due to a lack of time. I strongly encourage you to pull up your own stock charts for reviewing anything you decide to sell or buy).

Kate Middleton's topless photos have been all the rage over the last few days, but believe it or not, the Duchess has also made a splash recently with her clothes on. She and Prince William are touring Southeast Asia, and while meeting with the Singapore President and First Lady, Kate wore a white and purple Prabal Gurung dress. Gurung is from Singapore, so it all adds up nicely.
Now, while most of us were too busy clicking through endless slideshows to see Kate Middleton's pixely boobies, more sophisticated, style savvy individuals were snagging up Kate's Prabal dress at a steep, steep discount. Damn it bare princess breasts! We totally missed out. Because the dress, as it turns out, completely sold out in under an hour.
MyHabit, Amazon's off-price fashion shopping site, sold the Prabal dress for $599, over 60 percent off its sticker price of $1,995. Not only could you get a dress that Kate wore, you could get a dress that Kate wore for cheap, relatively speaking. Gah!
More from The Stir: Kelly Osbourne Gives Kate Middleton Advice for Sweet Paparazzi Revenge
The Duchess effect is clearly still ... in effect. Some 18 months after the royal wedding and Kate's clothes are still being nabbed up by feverish fans ready to pull the fashion trigger at a moment's notice. To be honest, I don't even think the dress is that pretty, but the fact that it was good enough for Kate makes me somehow covet it more than I normally would. Mrs. Prince William can make us want to buy dresses that aren't even that pretty. Now that's influence.
Between her topless photos and her continued reign over all things fashion, designers will be clamouring now more than ever to dress her in their wares. Her star, as far as I can tell, is just beginning to rise.
Would you buy Kate's Prabal Gurung dress?

We've hinted at it this past week, but now it's finally official! Walmart is bringing back their Super Saturday Sale this Saturday, November 5, available both in-store and online!
The past two years, the hottest items have been video-game related, some of which ended up being better than Walmart's Black Friday offering. Of course, the biggest draw hasn't been what Walmart was offering, but how Amazon and Best Buy (both of whom have similar sales) responded. This is the first time Walmart has put an official advertisement out for the sale, but there is always a chance they'll add supplementary items to their sale!
Some items of note are:
- Sanyo 42" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV - $398
- Xbox 360 250GB Kinect Bundle w/ Carnival Game and $50 Gift Card - $399
- Nook Color w/ 7" Touchscreen - $199
- Better Homes & Gardens 10-Cup Food Processor - $39
- Better Homes & Gardens 10-Cup Grind & Brew Coffee Maker - $39
The sale starts rather late at 11am in-stores, while online hours are currently TBD. We expect the online sale to start late Friday night/very early Saturday morning, well before the in-store sale starts. If this turns out to be true, we recommend shopping online first and then going to the store to pick up any items you may have missed out on.
Thanks for Visiting and Tell Your Friends!

When Max is at his most relaxed, we see his hands open up. When he was a baby, he wore splints to keep his balled up fists open and more relaxed. He would, by choice, or by inability to fight it, get out of the splints and his little hands would be bound up in little fists again.
In the last few years, I have noticed Max's hands opening up. He's able to bring them together to relax himself, he can stretch his fingers out to strum the guitar in music therapy, and when he's most relaxed, at complete peace, we see this.
I wonder what he's meditating on?

Max's hands...

That's such a gorgeous juxtaposition. I think you told me once that Max, like my Sophie, sits in a cross-legged position, like a yogi. I find Sophie's hands gentle and spare and not unlike Max's in that photo, too.

As a society, we have made great advances in the medical field. Progress in medicine and technologies have not only made it possible for people to live much longer, but also delay death when it seems imminent. As a result, our understanding of death has changed a lot over the years. Death is no longer seen as a natural process that every human being will eventually go through. For the most part, death is seen as a failure of the medical system to keep someone alive – regardless of the critical situation that person might himself/herself to be in. Medicine has become so efficient at treating people that often, we forget that it can fail. Therefore, we often we refuse to address this question: what should medicine do when it cannot save our lives?
This is, of course, a very subjective question. The answer to that question should not become a law abiding everyone. It is essentially a matter of "quality over quantity". Would somebody prefers to live a long period of time miserably? Or, would he or she rather live a short, happy life? Personally, I feel like, if medicine cannot save someone's life, then it should at least make the last moment of it better. One thing is pretty certain, no matter how advanced medicine gets, it will never be able to stop death. No matter how far the drugs, the medical equipment, and the doctor are able to push the limit of life, death will always catch up to us. Therefore, medicine should focus a little more on how to let people die. This seems rather like an oxymoron, given that the primary role of medicine is to keep us alive. However, death is a part of living; not just something that comes after it. If medicine cannot save one's life, at least it should make dying easier.
In all aspects of life, people seem to value quality over quantity. For instance, most people would rather have a few, but good and reliable friends, than having a bunch of dishonest ones. Similarly, most people would rather be pain free even for a short amount of time, than live a long life of suffering – in both cases, death is inevitable. So when it is clear that medicine cannot save people, then it should make the end of life more enjoyable, not only for the person who's dying, but also for the family that will have to deal with the loss of someone dear.

Plastic surgery conference coming to MoBay month-end
Plastic surgeons from across the Caribbean are scheduled to meet in Montego Bay on August 30 for a major conference.
According to Dr Guyan Arscott, senior plastic surgeon at the University Hospital of the West Indies, the conference will examine current issues that are relevant to both the public and private sector, and is a result of a collaboration between the Caribbean Association of Plastic Surgeons and local plastic surgeons.
"For some time now we have had collaboration with our British counterparts in plastic surgery. However, for different reasons, it happened that we (local plastic surgeons) have to go it alone and invite them because we are developed enough to do it," Dr Arscott told reporters and editors at this week's Jamaica Observer Monday Exchange.
"The importance of this meeting is that it's going to involve the Caribbean and us (Jamaica), so we have speakers from Guyana, Trinidad, Barbados, and clearly, Jamaica," Dr Arscott said.
Additionally, he noted that several heads of departments from Jackson Memorial Plastic Surgery Unit in Florida and a unit from South Carolina, along with leading private practitioners, who are Jamaicans in Orlando, Washington, and the Bahamas will also be in attendance.
"That meeting has significant implications. I know that there is some thought of health tourism, and if we talk about health tourism, it includes plastic surgery," he said.
Dr Arscott also noted that one fundamental problem of the Jamaican society — keloid scars — that has been an issue for years, will be discussed at the conference.
"We're going to talk about the new development with implants and some forms of cancers. We will be addressing the issues and problems associated with fat, body contouring, particularly buttock enhancement, and we will also talk about our work. For example, the replantation work, and we will talk about our work with treating patients with chemical burns," he said, while noting that cases of patients with chemical burns have been on the rise in the island in the last five years.

Hilltop Golf Course
- 1649 Brown Hill Rd, Manchester, OH 45144

This is a nice explanation in laymen terms about how we should approach economics and voting.

My Internet Journal (diary) where I jot down random thoughts
Tag: Obama
This is a nice explanation in laymen terms about how we should approach economics and voting.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Now that he's the undisputed nominee for the Democratic Party and is free to just do his normal campaign of "Change," Obama is becoming more politicized and is playing "the game" he was overly opposed to before. This brings me great sadness as I was starting to truly believe in his cause.
The first shift in my opinion came when Congress passed a compromise of the original FISA bill that was originally rejected in the House earlier this year. After this came to pass, Obama spoke on it and endorsed this act, which gives the phone companies retroactive immunity to the illegal wire-tapping that has happened across this country under the Bush Administration. In doing this, crimes go unpunished, government stays corrupted and reform initiatives are once again stifled.
This in itself isn't what made me really start to lose faith. Yeah it angered me but the real kicker is the spin he tries to evoke when he adds to his explanation:
"It restores FISA and existing criminal wiretap statutes as the exclusive means to conduct surveillance — making it clear that the President cannot circumvent the law and disregard the civil liberties of the American people. It also firmly re-establishes basic judicial oversight over all domestic surveillance in the future. It does, however, grant retroactive immunity, and I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses."
In other words, yeah the bad guys will get away this time, but under me things will get better and I'll be the good sheriff in town. This is especially frustrating as he acknowledges that, as cited in TPM Election Central, "last year I opposed the so-called Protect America Act, which expanded the surveillance powers of the government without sufficient independent oversight to protect the privacy and civil liberties of innocent Americans."
The most recent action Obama has taken that has ruffled my feathers is his pledge to support Bush's faith-based initiatives and add an extra $500 million dollars to this program. Let's first focus on the fact that this vehemently goes against the U.S. Constitutions policies of separation of Church and State. The whole first amendment makes it clear that this is a country of religious tolerance and a freedom to express any point of view; furthermore, it separates religion from government so that it gives equal and fair representation to all without anyone being persecuted for their beliefs or lack thereof.
When Bush started his faith-based initiatives, it was enacted to give an unbalance of representation and governmental power to a select group of people, mainly the evangelical sect of Christian believers in this country. This action has helped the Republican party dominate the government for the past eight years. It is also powerful pandering tool.
Now I understand the political reasoning behind Obama's motives. He is unfairly being labelled a Muslim in some media outlets, which causes a push-button effect of linking Obama to terrorists. When that isn't being done Barack Obama is linked to "radical" christian leader Reverend Wright. By endorsing Bush's faith-based initiatives, he's trying to curb the conservative Christian vote that isn't too keen on McCain as their representative. A brilliant political move for sure, but it's a cynical cold-calculating move that goes against Obama's campaign of "Change" and not using the "old-style" politics of Washington.
Jennifer Loven, Associated Press Writer, also states that Barack Obama, "proposes allowing religious institutions to hire and fire based on religion only in the non-taxpayer-funded portions of their activities — consistent with current federal, state and local laws." This again, goes against the First Amendment which prevents these types of discrimination, regardless of what type of loop-holes you try to create for them to take effect.
With these two grievances that I have with Barack Obama, I cannot help but think jaded-thoughts of politics as usual. Political Podcaster Dan Carlin said it best, in one of his recent podcasts, when he explains how the word "change" is a funny word and how it can mean anything. Not only that, but because Barack Obama initially has been very abstract in what his own definition of change is, hopefuls have been projecting their own definitions to his platform and thereby, or partly, bringing the popularity that Obama has received. This is definitely true for me, as I naively thought that he would keep to his pledge to go against old-school politics and bring about real reform. Now we're stuck once again, at least in my once again jaded opinion, with Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb. And pundits wonder why every election year brings about a smaller voting turnout than American Idol.
I just came across this on the Ill Doctrine Blog and I thought I'd share this. I'm definitely inspired.

Good morning lovelies!
This theme is right on time as the weather has been cloudy for almost a month. It's rain rain rain and I can't wait for the sun to come back. I also have always wanted to try the "clouds nail art technique" so it was right on point! I have to say that I'm happy of the result, which was very easy to achieve. I started with one coat of Sally Hansen Black Out, followed by NYC Prince Street and Side Walkers. How do you like it?


text: In this unsourced video that hit Reddit's front page this morning, a man who appears to be Chinese funnels a handful of wrigglers (minnows? eels? loaches?) into a bottle of beer, tops it with a flaming shot of hooch (baiju?) that he's seasoned with a lungful of cigarette smoke, then impressively chugs it in a matter of seconds, all with an air of showmanship; it's a video that combines self-abuse, animal cruelty, dubious intoxicants, and implausible biological feats.

Elementary6 - 12 years
The Montessori program in this phase called 'Elementary' offers continuity in the experience previously built on in the 'Children's House'. The classroom environment reflects a new stage of development that has 'cosmic education' at its heart: the analysis of the cosmos as a universe of order and harmony, the study of its beauty, the presentation of intellectual challenges to respond to the child's interest in the internal balance of things, their functioning and the laws that govern Nature.
The tools for 'cosmic education' are large posters and time lines, colorful experiments and stories, all building blocks for the imagination: simple, great and strong impressions.
- The integration of the arts, sciences, geography, history and language evokes imagination and abstraction in the child in the elementary phase.
- Presentation of the Great Lessons, in narrative and/or experiential format, that deal with the origin of the universe (astronomy, meteorology, chemistry, physics, geology, geography); the development of life (biology, botany, environment, evolution of life, zoology); the development of human beings (history, culture, social studies, scientific discoveries and inventions); communication (reading, writing, linguistics, structures of language, literature) and the history of numbers (mathematics, the origin of numbers, systems of numbers, geometry). The Great Lessons provide the child with a range of evocative explorations that are accessed through the imagination connected to a reasoning mind. There are three main areas of study: the history of the earth and living beings, the history of humanity and the history of human progress.
- Presentation of scientific language through zoology, botany, history, geography, geology, etc., exposing the child to organized and precise information.
- Use of time lines, photographs and other visual support tools, to provide a linguistic and visual image of the principles of each discipline.
- A mathematics curriculum presented with concrete materials that simultaneously cover arithmetic, geometry and algebra.
- Guides trained in Montessori pedagogy with a generalist vision (teachers capable of integrating the teaching of all subjects).
- Emphasis on open investigations and deep study, using different tools to that effect.
- Building community through presentations of 'Advanced Practical Life', where the children learn the tools to take charge of themselves, such as learning to satisfy their own basic needs and progressively develop into autonomous individuals at the physical, emotional and intellectual level. One purpose in this area is the development of psychomotricity, which is intimately linked to the development of mental abilities. Self-care, manners and courtesy, caring for the classroom environment, the preparation of food, silence, circle time activities and practical activities like sewing, carpentry, etc., are all learning opportunities whereby the children solve individual or collective problems and collaborate helping other
- Protocol on conflict resolution based on communication for peace and understanding.
- Outings to explore resources beyond those offered in the classroom.
Register your child in Elementary
If you would like to register your children in Elementary, please fill in the registration form and we will contact you.
Similarly to Children's House, the materials in Elementary have a purpose. They are conceived to evoke imagination, aid abstraction and generate a global vision around purpose and fundamental human needs.
The children work within a philosophical system, asking themselves questions about the origins of the universe, the nature of life, people and their differences, etc.
We undertake interdisciplinary studies that combine geology, biology and anthropology in the study of natural history and ecology.
Los estudios se integran no sólo por materias, sino también como aprendizajes morales sobre el respeto a la vida, la empatía y una profunda creencia en la contribución del individuo para crear un mundo de paz y la universalidad de las tendencias humanas, así como el significado de la justicia.

"Didn't you read," oh rigorous intellect? I said I lived in Marin County. For five years. That would be right across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, in case you're not familiar with it. I've heard east Bay people are very provincial, but I would have thought they knew where Marin County is. Then again, I recall reading years ago about a high school graduate in San Francisco who didn't know where the Pacific Ocean was.Winston wrote:Have you even been in this area?
As for my reading comprehension of your random opinionizing, you spoke of "the Bay Area," and did not distinguish the suburbs from San Francisco. Most people think of San Francisco as being in the San Francisco Bay area.
You're entitled to your opinion about the beauty of the place. I love the golden hills (which of course turn green when the rains come in the fall, winter and spring). And apparently a lot of Californians have over the years as well, since they nicknamed it "the golden state."

Cavalier Mk1 in Continental Europe
Not many people are aware of this but up till 1981 Vauxhall Cars were sold in continental Europe alongside Opel's in 11 countries. However the reason they were not sold past 1981 is as follows.
On 6th December 1979 Vauxhall announced that they were pulling out of 11 major European countries where Vauxhall cars were sold. This was to be completed by the end of 1981. This was part of a rationalization program by General Motors (Vauxhall and Opel's parent company) who at the
time wanted to place more emphasis for the cars and their development on the German Opel side and not Vauxhall. Opel sales in the UK also stopped in 1981 (Other than the Opel Manta which continued until 1988).
The Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1 was also sold in the following European countries. Holland, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, France, Norway, Poland, Italy and Switzerland. Please see Belgium brochure below. The Coupe was available with the 1.3 engine and in Norway the car came with Manta style
headlight wipers. The other main differences was the colours.
Big thanks to Norbert Gall for forwarding us these two pictures of what may be the Sole Surviving Cavalier Mk1 in Austria.
Norbert spotted the car in Vienna's City Centre.
The above are all Belgium brochures.
1976 Dutch brochure.

A French brochure from 1976.

A Cavalier Mk1 Sportshatch Belgium Press Pictures from 1979.
A Cavalier Mk1 Italian Brochure. Of note is the photo with the Yellow Cavalier Mk1 appears to be a reversal of the one in
the 1975 launch brochure. Presumable this was a cost save as the reversal made the car appear left hand drive.

Colorado Reading Corps
First introduced in Jefferson County by Jeffco School Foundation in 2012, Colorado Reading Corps (CRC) is a partnership between Jeffco Schools Foundation, Mile High United Way, Serve Colorado and the Lt. Governor's office, Americorps, Minnesota Reading Corps, Jeffco Public Schools and Target.
Jessica Maule, a Colorado Reading Corps member at Stober/Stein Elementary in 2014-2015, worked at Jeffco School Foundation's summer literacy program (JSEL) in June and July and was hired as a full time teacher at Stober.
Colorado Reading Corps kicked off the 2014-2015 year in Jeffco Public Schools with instructional coach and Americorps tutor training before the start of classes.
CRC will again be available to certain Jeffco Public Schools. Participating schools are: Columbine Hills Elementary, Fremont Elementary, Green Gables Elementary, Parr Elementary, Peck Elementary, South Lakewood Elementary, Stober Elementary, Stott Elementary, Vanderhoof Elementary and Warder Elementary in Jeffco Public Schools.
Did you know? For students who are behind in reading, additional skills practice and attention to language development can be the secret to literacy proficiency.
Jeffco Schools Foundation piloted Colorado Reading Corps in Jeffco Public Schools in the 2012-2013 school year. At that time it was the only replication in the country of the successful Minnesota Reading Corps.
In the first year, nearly 500 struggling readers at 12 Jeffco elementary schools worked daily, one-on-one, with trained Americorps members to develop key literacy skills. Members helped students practice the five key building blocks to literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Click here for an article about the program's success in Jeffco Public Schools.
In the 2013-2014 school year, ten Jeffco Public Schools and schools in Aurora, Adams 12 and Denver school districts participated in the project.
Colorado Reading Corps is working...
An evaluation of the program during the 2012-2013 school year, its first year operating in Colorado, showed that of the 472 students who participated, 44% showed enough reading growth to no longer need the program and to exit from the program. Of those students who successfully exited, 80% scored at or above their spring reading benchmarks in subsequent assessment. In short, the program helped nearly one in two struggling readers get back on track toward reading proficiency.

I have always been in love with the classic "Little Black Dress".
Being on the slightly heavier side, I have always been a little reluctant to try out one. But soon I realized, LBD does not have to mean tiny pieces of black clothing sticking to you mostly meant for people with a perfect body. This classic piece can be worn according to your personal style and yet look equally sexy.
While shopping for your black dress, the most important thing that you should look for is the material. If the material is stretchable, do not go for a size that sticks to you like second skin. Go for the next size. That way, the dress gives a nice fit simultaneously camouflaging your love handles.
The next essential thing is the length. That entirely depends on your body-type. If you have well toned legs, go for a shorter length. Otherwise. knee-length is usually the safest option.
Since I do not have toned arms, I stuck to a longer sleeves. I love the cowl-neckline of my dress. This I believe works wonders to give a slimming effect. I got this dress from Scullers, Pantaloons at Rs1399.
A dress remains incomplete without accessories. I accessorized with golden earrings, golden stilettos and a golden clutch. Black and gold brings out the classiness of the look, timelessly.
For the make-up, red lips never go wrong with black.
And for the final touch, keep that gorgeous smile on and stay stylish. Do not forget to leave your comments and suggestions.

In a couple of days from now, I will be celebrating yet another birthday as well as entering into another decade of my life. It seems like the older I get, the less I look forward to these birthdays. Maybe because I dread getting older. The thoughts of losing my physical capabilities as well as my mind totally scare the crap out of me. It is safe to say that many people feel the same way that I do. We all dread those days in the future when that gray hair starts to appear, wrinkles creep up on our faces and necks, physical pain becomes more frequent and we start forgetting things. It happens to everyone eventually;father time does not discriminate against anyone.
I find it interesting to look at how people age. One of my basketball playing buddies is in his late 50's. He could easily pass for a 35-year-old in looks. He also runs around the court like a 25-year-old. Not only does he play basketball, but he runs marathons as well. He is also a vegetarian and if he had his way, all fast food restaurants would cease to exist. On the other hand, I have some friends who are 30 going on 50. Several of them smoke and eat the wrong foods. One of them thinks that he will get his daily filling of vegetables from eating a pizza!! Exercise for them is a total inconvenience. I think the only exercise they get is from getting off the couch to go to the bathroom! While my basketball playing buddy may have a birth certificate that states he is 28 years older than my other friends, his outward appearance tells a completely different story. The point of this example is that your lifestyle plays such a critical role in how you age, especially when you reach your 30's and beyond. Sure genetics play an important role, but living an active lifestyle and taking care of your body can do wonders to make you feel and look younger.
One of my pet peeves with people is when they make the "old age excuse" for not being able to do something. I hear it often from people my age. Sure, some have certain physical problems that prevent them from performing a task. Maybe someone has a knee problem that prevents them playing sports, that is very understandable. But for many, it is really all in their head. People have this idea that reaching a certain age automatically disqualifies them from being active. That is total hogwash!! Many folks might be surprised at how much they still have left in tank. I always see a bunch of senior citizens playing tennis at nearby park. They probably think that they are still in their 30's by the way they move. Nobody convinced them to stay at home and sit in a rocking chair!
Besides staying active and eating the right foods, the way you approach life has a great bearing on how you age. Is life boring and full of stress from work? I see people who work constantly without any real hobbies to pursue and they seem to age very quickly. Life is way too short to always be stressed out from working too much. People who are passionate about a certain hobby always seem to age much better. I know retired folks who are very excited each spring to hit the golf courses or go fishing. They live for those types of activities. My uncle loves to teeter in his backyard, chopping wood and stuff and he is more nimble than many people half his age. Sitting around and being bored with yourself is a sure recipe to age very quickly and look much older than you should.
I often get complimented about how I look for my age and it can really make my day if you ask me. Someone once asked me what my secret was. I certainly helps coming from a very youthful looking family, but I always think of myself as a much younger person. I don't look at my age as being a barrier to any physical activity that I might pursue. Just because I am a certain age does not mean that my body is the same age. It may be much younger. I drive around listening to the same type of music that much younger people listen to. As a matter of fact, I enjoy hanging out with younger people from time to time. It make me feel much younger!
The truth is, age is really just a state of mind. Those who have that "I am too old attitude" will get what they deserve. I always believe that feeling and acting much younger than your age is a huge key in enjoying a wonderful life. Why use age as a barrier and excuse for not enjoying your life? In the meantime, I have to tell my elderly neighbors to turn down their music. They seem to enjoying that Justin Timberlake cd a little bit too much!!
