These are so much fun. They come in great shapes and colors. Perfect for adding that special touch to a layout or project. You should definitely try these!!! :)
I love these brads. Of course I love just about everything from queen and co. but these brads are very cute, some have little patterns on them like dots and stripes. The pink are perfect for a girlie page or love page but the other colors are just as cool. I bought just about every color. I only wish that more came in the packages because they get used up pretty quickly. They are lots of fun though. :)
These are so fun!! Easy to use, they're just stickers and they stick really good. The fact that they come in so many colors is also a plus. The only problem is they get used up quickly and go fast, so buy lots!! Haha :)
These are great!! If you like photo corners, you'll love these. I wish more came in a package because they're addicting to use. But they come in many colors and they're self adhesive which is nice. Now I'm hoping AC will come out with solid and clear acrylic photo corners!!!! :)

text: Arsenio Hall's Rebooted Talk Show Canned After One Season Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 30 May 2014 post a comment Donald Trump didn't tell Arsenio Hall he was fired. The American public did just that today. The Arsenio Hall Show, the reboot of the successful '90s talker, got canceled after just one season. Hall simply couldn't compete with the current crop of late night talkers, a crowded field including Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart and David Letterman. Hall's show earned a second season promise earlier this year, but the ratings convinced the powers that be that such a move wasn't wise. Hall's second time as the host of a syndicated talk show launched in September and was anchored on 17 stations owned by Tribune Broadcasting -- a partner in the production of the show -- including markets in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. The series had aired in most markets starting at 11 p.m., going head-to-head with local news and off-network syndicated shows. The second half-hour of Hall's show faced stiff competition from the likes of the newly reinvigoratedTonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS' Late Show With David Letterman. Despite premiering to optimistic numbers, 1.5 rating with households (and, more importantly, a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49), the ratings took a dive. The talker dropped 60 percent in the key demo within its first several months. There were bright spots along the way. A visit from prince Prince saw ratings surge 56 percent in March, tying even ABC's Jimmy Kimmel that night, but the pressure cooker of the Jimmy Fallon era late night was ultimately too much. Arsenio was further walloped in the ratings whenDavid Letterman's April 3 announcement of his retirement drove up attention on CBS. The first Hall show made news when Bill Clinton appealed to younger voters by playing the saxophone while the host grinned by his side. The program also featured the "Dog Pound," Hall's loyal fans who barked with enthusiasm at the start of each broadcast. Hall's victory on Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump started the effort to place him back into the late night environment.

I liked them. They are real adorable and cute. Perfect for my books that I keep on the end table. They are very decorative and a conversation piece.

I've found a few solutions like this one, but none of them actually worked for me for some reason.

Forms Sent To 800 Victims Of NC Eugenics Program
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina officials have mailed paperwork to 800 people who have previously identified themselves as victims of the state's forced sterilization so they can verify their eligibility for one-time payments from a $10 million compensation fund.
Each verified victim of the state-sponsored eugenics program ended in the 1970s will split an equal share of the money. Additional copies of the forms are available at www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov .
A group established to help the victims estimated last year that up to 1,800 victims are still alive, though the identities of only 168 have been verified so far with available records.
A state advisory board recommended one-time payments of $50,000 each. But if 1,000 victims are eventually verified, the $10 million allotted by lawmakers earlier this year will cover payments of only $10,000 each.

Best Cheap Sushi in Downtown?
Hey Chowhounders,
New to the board and newly working in downtown. I work in an office that likes to get catered lunch, we all want sushi but it's hard to find enough sushi to fit our $13 with tax budget. There are many excellent places downtown which serve sushi, are there any that could fit the price range I seek? I humbly challenge everyone with the experience and know of how downtown to help me come up with a solution. Thanks e'rybody.
This thread is from 2008, so who knows what's happened with prices here since then, but you might just check to see: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/567585
re: mc michael
Upon further research, East is now closed. Bummer because it looked to have potential!
I two rolls or one roll + two pieces of nigiri sushi per person, along with edamame for the whole group, would be doable. Try Hama.
re: Bob Brooks
Good place.
re: Clyde
After some research, Sushi Go does have two lunch deals under 12 dollars but its only sushi, no edamame or salad or etc. Oomasa on the other hand has a lunch special that is sushi, sashimi, salad and tempura for 11.70. Now that is a deal!
Question becomes, why should I be avoiding Oomasa over sushi go 55? Is it a quality issue? quantity issue?
100 Japanese Village Plaza Mall, Los Angeles, CA 90012
re: jdanto
quality and service issue. my last experience there was awful. we were seated, then unseated when another party came in after they missed their name being called. when we were seated about 10 minutes later, annoyed mind you- the quality of the fish was the worst i've ever had there. i remember ordering something that never arrived. the fish didn't taste fresh and my sushi pieces were loaded with so much wasabi it was all i could taste.
Hama has a $12 minimum per person, if I recall correctly. I don't know if that applies to take out orders. They are delicious and worth it though. :D
Tenno Sushi in Little Tokyo. They have a number of rolls and sushi for "half-price". I had a very good yellowtail roll and spicy scallop roll there last week.

Then I had a problem with jQuery-conflict and got very fast support from the developer.
I can really recommend this extension and I will certainly use it every time I need a mp3-player!
There are tons of options in the settings for the plugin, btw! So it is easy to customize to your needs.
byMadddex, January 16, 2013
There are a LOT of nice features such as the possibility to drag a slider to increase the amount of ingredients (!), add to favourites, comments, ratings, social sharing and much more.
As a bonus this component also has a plugin to interact with CB, which I also use on the site.
The support is great and you get your answers fast. The development team has made a great job, and that product is well worth the money. Thank you!!

Luis y Jayo
Luis Y Jayo's style of street, reggaeton and romantic reggaeton with easy to relate to lyrics, promises to make an impact on the music industry. Their singles "Mueve Tu Sintura" and "Sin Ti Yo No Soy Nada" speak about the joy and the heartache about being in love. Any parent wouldn't mind their son or daughter listening to.
Luis Garcia and Victor Santiago ( Jayo) met in high school at Stoneman Douglass High in Fort Laurdale, Fl. New to the school, found each other over a flyer they read. The flyer was searching for new talent. Luis being able to sing and Jayo having the ability to rap decided to from a duo calling themselves, Luis y Jayo..."Los Sicarios Del Genero". In 2003, they recorded their first song,"Muve Tu Sintura." Receiving support from family and friends, they went back to record, "Sin Ti Yo No Soy Nada." Luis Y Jayo have been a group for three years. They have a bond that only siblings would understand. "Jayo is like my little brother", "Luis someone I can look up to." Luis y Jayo are unsigned and continue to pursue their dreams of being the group to hit the reggaeton scence. "We are gonna make it and this won't be the last time you hear from us."
They have perfomed numerous amounts of times. Opening for artist such as O.G. Black and Master Joe, Grammy nominated platinum group, Fulanito and Zion y Lennox at 2005, Calle 8.
Luis y Jayo describe their style as street with a passionate side. They want to be respect for their music and hard work. With their good looks and lain charm, Luis' tenor vocals and Jayo's husky flow and feel good lyrics and body grabbing beats. The two are sure to gain the attention of men and women, young or old. While on a quest to stardom, a dream will soon be a destiny full filled.

Tiny Solar Cells Pump Out Record Amounts of CPV ElectricityBy Kent Harrington | Comments (0)
Dutham, North Carolina-based startup Semprius has taken the transfer-printing technology it originally developed for flexible electronics and applied it to solar cells. Now what's coming out of the lab? Sheets of tiny solar cells — each small cell the size of a ballpoint pen tip — and able to convert 41 percent of solar energy into electricity using low-cost lenses to concentrate the sun more than 1,000 times. Those high numbers were recently validated by the DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in tests that showed one of the highest efficiencies recorded at that concentration (see NREL graphic showing 30 years of increasing solar efficiency). The new technology, a quick spin-out from the University of Illinois nanoelectronics and biophotonics research group, headed by John Rogers, has made a quick trip to commercialization. Watch an overview video about his university lab: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-hFPrTjxoc

Xenakis 5 Aug 2014 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com Israel and Hamas agree to a 3-day Gaza humanitarian ceasefire Syria war spills into Lebanon, as ISIS attacks town of Arsal China reasserts its sovereignty over the South China Sea Israel and Hamas agree to a 3-day Gaza humanitarian ceasefire Both Israel and Hamas have agreed to begin a 3-day humanitarian ceasefire to begin on Tuesday morning at 8 am local time. However, expectations are extremely low because there have been several attempts at ceasefire in the past, and they all failed fairly quickly. The ceasefire proposal was put forth by Egypt, and it's apparently identical to the ceasefire proposal that Egypt proposed three weeks ago. An Israeli spokesman said: "Israel will cease all military operations against terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip. Israel will honor the cease-fire and will be watching to see if Hamas does to." A Palestinian spokesman said: "It's clear now that the interest of all parties is to have a cease-fire. It's going to be tough negotiations because Israel has demands, too." As I've written several times in the last weeks, Israel and Hamas agree on little except one thing: Neither wants to return to the status quo ante. This means that Israel will not agree to a permanent ceasefire unless Hamas and other Gaza factions are demilitarized, and Hamas will not agree to a ceasefire unless the "siege" is ended, meaning that people and goods can flow freely in and out of Gaza. USA Today Syria war spills into Lebanon, as ISIS attacks town of Arsal Militias from the Islamic State / of Iraq and Syria (IS or ISIS), which have gained control of large swaths of Syria and Iraq, joined with some militias from al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra to attempt to take control of Lebanon by attacking the town of Arsal in northern Lebanon. Thousands of families were forced to flee from their homes as the battle raged between the ISIS militants and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). ISIS terrorists had been hiding out in the mountains surrounding Arsal after combined forces of the Syrian regime and Hezbollah drove them from border villages in Syria. Reports indicate that ISIS is preparing a military strategy to take over the region by repeating its successes in Iraq, where in the past few days it scored a major victory by capturing Iraq's biggest hydroelectric dam. Lebanon's population is about 40% Christian, 27% Sunni Muslim and 27% Shia Muslim, and Lebanon itself has been split along religious lines whether to support the Alawite/Shia regime of Syria's president Bashar al-Assad or his Sunni enemies. In the past, these religious differences have split the army, whose soldiers are drawn from the entire population, but the ISIS invasion of northern Lebanon appears to have united the army, at least for the time being, to join with Hezbollah to fight the invaders. Daily Star (Lebanon) and Al Monitor and Daily Star (Beirut) China reasserts its sovereignty over the South China Sea China is aggressively asserting claims to the entire South China Sea, including regions that have historically belonged to Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Philippines. China is building a network of airstrips and military garrisons in the South China Sea in clear violation of international law and refuses to participate in any United Nations mediation efforts. The South China Sea is believed to contain big oil and gas deposits and rich fishing grounds. China has been using a "salami-slicing" technique of annexing one portion after another. The Philippines is proposing a freeze on activity in the South China Sea in order to prevent a dispute that might lead to a military confrontation. However, a high government official in Beijing has rejected the proposal, saying: The Spratly Islands are China's intrinsic territory, and what China does or doesn't do is up to the Chinese government. Nobody can change the government's position... Why is it that when other countries wantonly build airports, nobody says a word? But China has only this year started small and necessary construction, to raise living conditions on the islands - and so many people raise doubts. I guess the answer to this question is that when other countries wantonly build airports, they do so on their own territory, rather than on someone else's territory.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) —I did my taxes the other afternoon while waiting for the Red Line in Chicago. It took about five minutes, but to be fair that's mostly because my phone is old and gets bad service.
Welcome to the world with SnapTax, the Android and i0s app from TurboTax. Now at crunch time, there are a few quick-fix apps out there, but if you have a relatively simple return to file, you might stick with SnapTax.
I'll be honest, before reviewing this app, I'd never considered doing my taxes on a smartphone. Doing everything else, sure, but taxes have always been something I save for Saturday afternoon, a sputtering calculator and a bottle of dark liquor to ease the pain. To my surprise, though, the platform turned out to be a natural fit.
"People are using their mobile smartphones for everything now," said Ashley McMahon, a spokesperson for TurboTax who released the SnapTax app. "Consumers want to be able to use [them] for everything from shopping to banking and now their taxes."
SnapTax wants to take advantage of e-filing's phenomenal success. With this app you can add tax preparation to your list of in-between activities, the things to do while waiting for a train or sitting at lunch. It would be easy to say that scheduling your taxes around your life is a major feature of doing them on a smartphone, and it really is. It's also, however, an unnecessary one. As I discovered, with SnapTax, that first five minutes is all you need.

WASHINGTON - Twelve years after its opening and six years after President Obama vowed to close Guantanamo prison, protesters rallied outside the White House Saturday, demanding he keep his promise in the name of human rights.
Seeing rain saturate rally-goers' coats and drip off their umbrellas gave protester Brian McLachlin a reason to smile.
"We can't be fair-weather protesters. This issue is too important," he said.
More than 100 people affiliated with groups like Amnesty International, CODEPINK and the Blue Lantern Project are demanding the closure of Guantanamo prison.
Ellen Graves traveled from West Springfield, Mass., to take part in the protest.
"We are treating people badly, and that's not how I would like the U.S. to be," Graves said.
Nearby, more than a dozen men wearing orange jump suits and black bags over their heads to mimic the uniforms worn by Guantanamo prisoners. They held a long black cloth sign that read, "Close Guantanamo."
Bernadette Baker, from Brooklyn, NY., was also in an orange jump suit, and wore the name of a Yemeni prisoner around her neck.
"You know, just seeing the names makes it more personal. For some, it's still not going to be enough, but just a reminder and also a reminder for the activists just why we continue to struggle for them," she said.
She is part of the Blue Lantern Project and as a nurse, Baker said, she has a problem with the reports of guards force feeding prisoners on hunger strikes.
"I thought it was basic knowledge that torture is not acceptable but apparently not. So here I am," Baker said.
This group, a hodgepodge of human rights and civil liberties organizations, has rallied outside the White House for this cause the last seven years. Organizers say they don't want to plan for next year, but fear they'll have to.

"The harder you work, the luckier you get."
Gary Player
Below is the poem entitled Armagedon which was written by poet
ramirez. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Kathryn Ramirez
A dream or premenition, call it what you may,
It was so vivid, all the details are impossible to say.
On a beautiful day,stroll through the park,and hearts filled with Joy.
Then all of a sudden the sky opened up and the choas called to deploy.
The children, who once played up and down the slide,
Was scared, running and screaming, their mothers cried.
A boom, and pop, the noise was so loud.
then all of a sudden, I just vanished from the crowd.
a wierd feeling had become me, now I am someplace new.
I feel dirt and sand beneath my feet, I am wearing no shoes.
I look up to see an orange sky, with rocks raining down.
I can see in the distance, what remains of a small town.
maybe four paces to my left, smoldering in char
Is all that's left of what appears to be some poor family's car.
I drop to my knees, lost in pure despair.
Is this it? Is the whole world beyond repair?
a vioce with no sign of a body, whispers in my ear,
This is what is soon to come, if you don't need me here.
I had some unusual flash backs, of congressional bills of law,
something like "united under ____ and justice for all"
That's when it hit me,I remembered we had evicted him from our land.
so when the evicted decides to leave, the landlord must understand.
Is it to late? I asked him, down on bended knee,
I began to pray, and I asked him to forgive me.
I awoke this morning, to see my children living and well.
I was dazed all day, But about this dream, I had no strength to tell.
I am too afraid to mention it to others, for they will not believe.
And I am too scared of their judgements, for I am sure of what I will recieve.
What would you do my friends, had this dream belonged to you?
Would you brush it off your shoulder, or warn everyone you knew?

Five Must-Have Headphones
The newest fashion accessory isn't a fashion accessory at all. It's head-swaddling, high-style headphones that make as much of a statement as anything else you're wearing. These are the ones that look as good as they sound
Yeah, That's Real Sheepskin
Not feeling a pair of Technicolor yellow cans? No worries—you've got other options. For the man who drinks scotch and flies first-class, we recommend the Bowers & Wilkins P5. Supple black sheepskin covers the headband and the memory-foam pads, which hang from twisting chromed- steel supports that are ever-so-slightly angled to perfectly cover your ears. Sonically, the P5 does dirty, sexy things to your eardrums, thanks to sweet highs, detailed lows, and just enough warmth to make Vampire Weekend MP3s sound like the Paul Simon LP they always wanted to be. This is the Ralph Lauren Purple Label of headphones—expensive, but worth it.

Specimen Eruption Lyrics - Zyklon
Growth; is that what it takes?
Disintegration; a world full of snakes
This is Machiavellian Strategy,
An extensive form of tragedy
Evolution; countercharge the ambivalence
Devolution; create your own malevolence
No more mercy, hold your mind
A culmination of which anything you won't find
Origin of a concealed fate,
It means we cannot go at any rate
This is death, this is life
Is this what existence all will be like?
As pitiful as you will ever be
Open your eyes and you will finally see
My omnipotence, no more accessible
It will only make you more feeble
Challenge; constraint of my aggression
Only obtained through concession
Response; obey through authority
I could only conform to negativity
Origin of a concealed fate
It means we cannot go at any rate
This is death, this is life
Is this what existence all will be like?

Visit a Local Preserve to Enjoy the Sweet Pepperbush
Now is the time to enjoy the delightful aroma of sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia) in many local preserves, among them Shu Swamp in Mill Neck and Roosevelt Preserve in Roosevelt and Freeport. These wonderful native shrubs in late summer produce stalks of white flowers that are not only pleasing to the eye and nose but attract hummingbirds and butterflies. The fruit is eaten by birds and fruiting stalks persist through winter, showing small dark gray capsules that look like peppercorns. While versatile, this shade- and salt-tolerant shrub thrives in moist soils. It may make an ideal addition to your garden.
Pick some Fresh Local Produce
August is a great time to pick your own produce-from farm fresh peaches to seasonal vegetables. There are many farms located on Long Island where you can pick your own, but here are a few suggestions. Please remember to always call ahead for availability!
1. Doug Cooper Farms, 220 Breakwater Road, Mattituck, NY 11952, 631 298-5195
2. Fort Salonga Farm, 30 Meadow Glen Road, Northport, NY 11768, 631 269-9666
3. Fritz Lewin Farm, Corner of Sound; Edwards Avenue, Calverton, NY 11933, 631 727-3346
4. F & W Schmitt Farms, 26 Pinelawn Road, Melville, NY 11747, Phone: 631 271-3276
Catch Them While You Can!
Winter dragged on forever this year but the spring ephemerals have officially arrived and it is time to get outside and catch them while you can. These perennial wildflowers begin to appear as soon as temperatures start to warm. Their rapid growth is encouraged by the sun present in woodlands before the deciduous trees and shrubs leaf out. And they disappear when temperatures get too hot. In a brief six-to-eight-week period, they manage to leaf, bloom, spread, go to seed and delight those who explore the woodlands where they abound.
We encourage you to get into the woods to take advantage of the unfurling skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), the brightly colored marsh marigold(Caltha palustris) and a host of spring ephemerals that includes wood anemone (Anemone quinquefolia), white wake-robin (Trillium grandiflorum), Virginia bluebell (Mertensia virginica), bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), trout lily (Erythronium americanum) and squirrel corn (Dicentra canadensis).
The success of local land conservation efforts relies heavily upon our ability to connect our community with the nature around us. If people experience nature and learn more about the important services nature provides us, they are more likely to make the political choices that ensure a healthy and sustainable future. Click here for a sampling of local parks and preserves where spring ephemerals can be found.

Comments about Roc-Lon Magnetic Closure Denimtone Blackout Curtain Panel - One Pair:
I have been out shopping for blackout curtains at locxal stores for a while and wasn't able to find much at all. I stsrted looking online and found this place and decided to take a risk of ordering them online since your not able to see or touch in person. I did contact Hayneedle to find out what size rods would fit in the pocket since this info wasn't included in the add. The response was it would handle a 3" diameter rod. THEIR INFO WAS WAY OFF, I TRIED USING A 3/4" ROD AND IT WAS SO TIGHT YOU COULDN'T ADJUST THE CURTAINS, IF YOUR THINKING OF USING THEM AS ROD POCKET'S THEN USE A 5/8". I decided to hang them using a traverse rod AND AM THRILLED THE WAY THEY TURNED OUT. I'M ORDERING ANOTHER SET FOR ANOTHER ROOM I'M DOING!!

Starz (NASDAQ:STRZA)
Whoa it hurts when they are messing up the pricing, I hope TMF gets my pricing fixed.
Anyway I bought this as a beat up content provider, I think content will find revenue over time.
Ya whats going on with that? I had about the same start price as you. Now I see they adjusted it down to $63 but thats still showing a huge loss. Do you have any idea what the real start price should be?
I reported a bug and got this reply:
A fix is in the works - there was some confusion about which of the spun off tickers was the survivor, and as a result the score updates are a little slow. Should be corrected soon.
Fool on,
That was Jan 22nd, makes me question the word "soon"

How Do Co-dependent People Behave?
Co-dependents have low self-esteem and look for anything outside of themselves to make them feel better. They find it hard to "be themselves." Some try to feel better through alcohol, drugs or nicotine - and become addicted. Others may develop compulsive behaviors like workaholism, gambling, or indiscriminate sexual activity.
They have good intentions. They try to take care of a person who is experiencing difficulty, but the caretaking becomes compulsive and defeating. Co-dependents often take on a martyr's role and become "benefactors" to an individual in need. A wife may cover for her alcoholic husband; a mother may make excuses for a truant child; or a father may "pull some strings" to keep his child from suffering the consequences of delinquent behavior.
The problem is that these repeated rescue attempts allow the needy individual to continue on a destructive course and to become even more dependent on the unhealthy caretaking of the "benefactor." As this reliance increases, the co-dependent develops a sense of reward and satisfaction from "being needed." When the caretaking becomes compulsive, the co-dependent feels choiceless and helpless in the relationship, but is unable to break away from the cycle of behavior that causes it. Co-dependents view themselves as victims and are attracted to that same weakness in the love and friendship relationships./

It's Not Me, It's You - "Co-Dependency"
in Romance
This week's topic is dealing with co-dependency of someone else. Why do we get needy and clingy? Great topic for this week.
How to stop being a fixer and kill the demons, enabling & co-dependency
in Romance
Tonight I am joined by the author Dr Lesly Devereaux. She will share practical ways that we can break codependence at any point in time, and the sooner the better! What differentiates Breaking Co-Dependency, (order the book @ http://www.breakingcodependencybook.com) from other books on this topic is that you are brought into the life of the author as she navigates being incarcerated while reflecting on the enabling behaviors that put her there in the first place. Through the narrative of the author, a courageous speaker, coach and ordained minister, we are provided a valuable reference on how to break codependency. Its real value begins with the recommendations of how to stop enabling others.
Dr Lesly says....Deal with the demons of enabling; don't run from them. Running from your problem will only exhaust you. You have heard the expression: you can run but you sure can't hide. This is true of any situation that you find yourself in which requires you to face ugly truths about yourself. It always seems easier to act like your problem does not exist as opposed to facing it head on. The tendency to avoid internal confrontation is appealing, but it never works.

Co-Dependency and Addictions with Nazim Rashid
in Religion
LIfe Coach, Author, Radio Talk-Show Host, Nazim Rashid is the guest speaker today talking about Co-Dependency and Addictions. His talk today will be take from 2 chapters in his book Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self. The chapters are Attachments, Co-Dependency and Addictions and 12 Principles of Recovery. So many are under the dominating power of addictions and co-dependency and it is not just drugs and alcohol. Husbands habitually abusing their wives and the wives have the same problem. Many of us cannot stop overeating and are ashamed of looking at themselves in the mirror. Depression has their name on it and then they eat again to get over the depression. Many of us are co-dependents and cannot express your true feelings for fear of getting abused again by their mates. Fear keeps them in those relationships. This is what will be talked about on today's show. Solutions will be discussed through the 12 Principles of Recovery. Nazim Rashid's website is www.cloudsofabundance.com and his email is firstname.lastname@example.com - His book Reconnected can be purchased through his website and Amazon and Barnes & Noble sites.
Co-Dependency and Addictions with Jennifer Masters
in Self Help
Today we have author and international healer, Jennifer Elizabeth Masters as our guest speaker on this re-broadcast show addressing the topic of Co-Dependency and Addictions. She says, "Everyone at some point has issues with codependency and addiction. Underneath it all are feelings of not being good enough. Focusing on ourselves with a soft focus instead of beating ourselves up changes our perspective. We are very hard on ourselves. Being compassionate, loving and tender with ourselves is what The Divine wants from us. It does no one any good to be self deprecating. Self love is the key to healing all emotional suffering and pain.

Life Coach, Personal Development Specialist, Author and Radio Talk-Show Host, Nazim Rashid is the guest speaker today to continue his discussion on Co-Dependency and then onto the 12 Principles of Recovery, which is in his self-help book, Reconnected-How To Be A Mentor To Your Child-Self. Enabling relationships hurts both parties as they are not challenged to grow as independent thinkers as God has designed them to be. They operate from the place of Fear and not Freedom. The 12 Principles of Recovery provides the step-by-step, principle-by-principle ways to free yourself, once and for all, from co-dependencies and addictions. You can order your copy of Reconnected by going to this website: www.cloudsofabundance.com
Co-Dependency and Addictions part 2 with Nazim Rashid
in Religion
LIfe Coach, Personal Development Specialist, Author and Radio Talk-Show Host, Nazim Rashid will join us again continuing the discussion on Co-Dependency and Addictions. He will talk about the various family roles that are played in dysfunctional families and how this is related to how we perceive leadership in our communities. Unhealthy relationships between religious leaders and political leaders and their respective communities are related to unhealthy relationships developed in childhood. Nazim will also begin looking at the addiction process and how this affects the individual, their relationships and community life.
Co-Dependency & Addictions part 3 with Nazim Rashid
in Religion
Life Coach, Author, Personal Development Specialist and Radio Talk-Show Host Nazim Rashid is the guest speaker continuing his needed discussion on Co-Dependency & Addictions. He left off, from the last discussion, with comparing the dysfunctional family roles many of us have played in childhood to the roles many of us are currently playing in our communities. The Hero, Caretaker, Scapegoat and Counter-Dependent roles were played as a survival technique and continue to rule our lives and then we wonder why our lives are not fulfilling, loving and harmonious.
Breaking Free from Co-Dependency by Establishing Healthly Boundaries
in Prayer
One of the identifying characteristic of a health relationship is that the people involved have the ability to establish health boundaries. So what are boundaries? Think of a fenced in backyard. A fence is designed to keep things out and at the same time keep things in. Jennifer Kass (2013) made the following statement about a yard that doesn't have a fence:
"When you find yourself having difficulty saying "no" to others, doing things out of feelings of guilt or obligation, attempting to please others even at the expense of what's best for you, or not expressing your thoughts and feelings when someone upsets you, you are putting yourself last and putting others first — which doesn't serve any of the parties involved."
When we fail to set boundaries, relationships seldom grow. Want to learn more, join us today as we continue our discussion on breaking free from co-dependency. One of the ways to do that is to establish healthy boundaries.

Cooking classes as holiday gifts
- b
- Benjamin2008 Dec 12, 2007 08:54 AM
Can anyone recommend chef/restaurant-sponsored cooking class in the area? L'Academie classes are "okay" but... I'm looking for something a "foodie" would enjoy. Not sure if Tosca still offers Saturday classes, but that's an indicative of what I'm looking for. Thanks.
re: ktmoomau
I saw a cooking class going on two weeks ago at Bebo. I think it was a Tuesday night. I quickly read the cooking class schedule at the hostess stand and it did have saturday classes. I am sure if you called them they would fax or email a schedule to you. There were a dozen people cooking at a counter with R.D. The students had there own little burner and skillet and they were drinking wine - looked like lots of fun.
re: keithdcil
My husband got me this for my birthday. Donna has several classes a week - we did the Saturday night date night, which was just six people total and a lot of wine! They were incredibly hospitable, it ended up being seven courses plus prosecco, white wine and red wine with the meal. I can also attest to the fact that you're really, seriously cooking. It's not just a demonstration.
I HIGHLY recommend it.
re: chowser
They might not be still doing them since they switched chefs and the new new chef will be coming in soon.
re: scotcheroo
Good friends gave me a class last year. It was sponsored by Anne Arundel Community College and it was a one night class called Cooking at the Fishermans Inn. It went back room into the Kitchen @ FI on Kent Island. It was approx. 1 1/2 - 2 hours in the kitchen, and then approx 45 minutes to 1 hour of eating everything we made and drinking some good wine. The Chefs were terrifiic, and I ended up purchasing a class for my wife also and we had a great date night. If I remember correctly it cost $40.00 for the night per person. Also afterwards they gave you copies of all of the recipes we made during class so we could make them at home.
re: scotcheroo
I took a pie making class at Sur La Table and thought it was only so-so. It felt overcrowded. There were 6 (!!) people per pie. Which basically meant I didn't get a full hands on experience for each step, which I really needed.
There were 2 people in my group who had taken a number of classes at L'Academia and said it was much better. That's where I'm planning to go when I take a class next.
The one really nice thing about Sur La Table is the discount you get for the week to buy anything in the store. I think its like 15-20% which is nice.
I believe you can reserve cooking classes at Equinox. I also believe Chef Grey has a "tour" where you go to the penn quarter market with him, pick out stuff, and learn what to cook with it.
Not sure you could get a gift certificate for it, but it's worth a try because that sounds awesome.
The Washington Post Website always has a huge list of cooking classes in the food and dining website by the way.
I really like the classes at L'Academie. Someone bought us a gift certificate from there for our wedding and we used it earlier this year. Since then we've made an effort to try a new class once a season. Also, they do periodically have special "celebrity" chef classes available. They just came out with the new schedule so I'd suggest checking it out on their website (lacademie.com).
Hi. I was actually looking at getting my husband a gift certificate to L'Academie ... can you tell me more about why you think it is just 'okay'? Thanks ...
I was looking at Bebo, Lebanese Taverna, L'Academie, and Sur la Table and did not find anything that really struck me as the kind of gift I wanted to give my friend for Christmas.
First off- Lebanese Taverna would be perfect- aside from the fact that they are closing up shop, as far as their cooking classes are concerned, until next March!
Bebo was very pricey and since I am a notoriously horrible cook, I felt the $110/class pricetag was a bit excessive. They are still holding classes though and it seemed like a great experience.
Sur la Table, and L'Academie seemed too much like a "Michaels" handy-work class. They seemed rather technical and did not provide the sort of ambiance I wanted for a romantic Christmas gift.
Luckily, I stumbled upon Tastedc.com which offered a list of cooking classes in various restaurants and venues throughout the DC-metro area. The classes ranged in class anywhere from $68-$105 and start as soon as January. I finally settled on a "gourmet pizza" class, which I am very excited to attend!
