Mortgage rates in New Zealand (we're specifically talking about Dunedin) continue to fall, so this may be the perfect time to reduce your mortgage payments by extending your loan.
However, many homeowners are unaware as to how they are affected by the present financial climate in the country, and so they are liable to miss out on precious opportunities. For example, the average fixed rate on 30-year mortgages has fallen below four percent, a rate significantly lower than many homeowners' current mortgages.
The simplest way to reduce your mortgage is to refinance your loan. Typically, this means restructuring your loan from being paid over the course of ten or fifteen years to being repaid over thirty years. Many homeowners are turned off by the idea of extending their home loans beyond what already seems like an endless amount of time. For others, refinancing their home can appear to be nothing more than procrastination, and so refinancing is automatically associated with careless planning.
However, the truth is of the matter is far more complex, and for many homeowners extending their home loan is the best option. Especially now with historically low interest rates, prolonging one's mortgage has the ability to free up cash in the short term.
This money can be used to pay off debts that have higher interest rates, make investments that will yield a high ROI in the long-term, or for any discretionary expense.
Alternatively, there are government-backed options that allow delinquent homeowners the possibility of preventing foreclosure. These programs include the Streamlined Modification Initiative, open to home buyers with loans backed by Freddie Mac or Fannie May, and the Home Affordable Modification Program. These programs can help keep struggling homeowners above water, providing repayment terms that one would be unable to reach with the lenders directly.
While these are the two most effective ways of reducing your mortgage payments, many buyers are mistakenly under the impression that filing for bankruptcy would be helpful in this regard. It is crucial to understand that bankruptcy will not save you from foreclosure: the entity from which you borrowed your loan will almost certainly have a lien on your house, irrespective of whether you file for bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy only has an impact on certain types of debts, but it will have no impact on the terms of your mortgage.
Instead, attempt to negotiate directly with your lender, in order to reach amicable terms. After all, if you have reached the point of foreclosure, your lender won't be receiving any more interest payments from you. It is likely the case that it will be most profitable for your lender to reach an agreement with you, so you can use this to your advantage. Be honest, explain your situation, and you may very well find yourself on a path to reduced mortgage payments.
Put simply, reducing your mortgage payments will almost always include applying for a loan modification program, which is not inherently a good or bad thing. It all depends on the particulars of your situation, and for many homeowners, it's a breath of fresh air and a wise financial decision.
We put together a free video to show you how we can help you pay down your mortgage faster and easier…

This afternoon some members of the Equal Marriage NI campaign team carried out a small poll of random people in South Belfast on same-sex marriage. The survey, although small in number, showed overwhelming support for marriage equality in Northern Ireland, which is about giving the right to all people to marry, no matter their race, gender or sexual orientation.
The results were:
220 polled in total between 10:30am and 12:30pm 20th July 2012
164 polled in favour of full marriage equality
70 of those in favour were male
94 of those in favour were female
3 polled as undecided on the issue
2 of those undedicded were male
1 of those undecided were female
53 polled against full marriage equality
20 of those against were male
33 of those against were female
All those polled were randomly selected out on the street or within various coffee shops in the areas of Botanic, Queen's University Belfast, Stranmillis, Lisburn Road, Sandy Row and the Holylands area.
This data, though small in number, and taken from a very small area of the city, show that a large majority, 74.5% are for, while 24.1% are against same-sex marriage. While only 1% are undecided.
Equal Marriage NI said that the majority of those who are against marriage equality do so on "religious grounds due to the doctrine that a marriage before God is between a Man and Woman." This reasoning is unexpected, though undoubtedly saddening that it is still such a widely held opinion.
Equal Marriage NI plan to conduct a more comprehensive survey in the future.

I realize it's been a while since I've written a post. I just haven't felt like I've had much to say. The Lord has been relatively quiet these last few weeks. But in His silence, there's still plenty to learn.
I have been to three churches in my search for a new church home, so far. I have enjoyed each, but haven't felt that 'at home' feeling I would love to have. When thinking about that feeling, I realized that, most likely, it's not going to happen in one visit. I felt SO comfortable at Grace Fellowship in Georgia that it is going to be really hard to find anything that comes close to it. GFC became my family.
The three churches I have attended so far have ranged from small, to the very large. It's a bit frustrating because I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for, other than a place that feels like home. I told my pastor in Georgia the other day that if I could have him, TD Jakes, and Robert Morris all rolled into one I would be a happy camper! But, unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen. I have a list of churches that I want to visit. I'm hoping I'll know the church is the right one after I have been there. But that's not a guarantee. Thankfully there are websites, and sermons online that you can listen to now. That has both helped fill the 'gap' until I find my new church home and narrow down the list of churches to visit.
There have been good qualities at each church. And, for me, the music is going to be a large part of my decision-making process. I love to sing. When I was a young girl, I always heard my mother singing alto, so I guess I just picked it up. While in the youth choir I sang soprano. But anytime I sang a 'special' in church with one of my friends, I always sang the harmony. That's the part I love the most, because there's so much you can do with it. And now, I try to find the unusual, and the unexpected harmony. So, I guess there are a few things I know I'm looking for. But as always, I'd like to hear it plainly from Him, but I kinda doubt that's going to happen.
As I've said before, sometimes the Lord speaks to me so plainly that what He has to say is unmistakeable. Other times, like before I decided to move, and now, it's been a bit hard to deal with the quietness of Him. Times like this make me thirsty for His Word. Thankfully, I have received little messages from others that tell me He's still there waiting and watching, but it's just not the same as hearing from Him directly. But, I would rather have those Words from others, than nothing at all.
The other day, I received a message from one of my friends at GFC. The message was based on I Kings 18:41 which says:
Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!"
The Samaritans had been in a drought for three years, then Elijah comes along and says there's going to be a rainstorm. This can go along with our own lives. I know many times I've felt like I've been in a drought of some kind. Right now, I'm unemployed, and, (thankfully), living with my parents again until I can find a new job and a place of my own. I think that would qualify as a drought of some kind, don't you? But it's what you DO during the drought that will set you apart from others. And what you do during your drought will prepare you for the rainstorm and get you through the storm to the other side.
Getting this Word from my friend was a gentle push from Him to let me know that He's still there and that He will still make good on the promises He's made to me. I just have to keep doing what I'm doing and keep believing He's working on the best job I've ever had. And, I totally believe that. I know that there is a 'dream job' out there for me. I just haven't found it yet. I've sent out bunches of resumes, but it hasn't been to the right place yet. I know that at this job I will make enough to pay for the things that He has in store for me, like that house with a porch that has a beautiful view. That view will inspire me to sit and write the books that I've been told I will write. So, I'm not just searching for any ol' job. I want THE job that He has prepared for me.
So, I continue to do what I believe He wants me to do during this drought I'm in. As well as listening for His voice letting me know what He thinks I need to change, those things He impresses upon my heart that I need to do in order to move on in my spiritual journey. I have recently taken care of one of those things, but another isn't as easy to do. Simple, yes. But easy? No.
Are you in a drought? I believe there are all kinds of droughts, but what is yours? Do you know? Take a little while to think about it. Pray about it! Then, become thirsty for the Lord and His Word. Listen for His voice to let you know what you need to do while in the drought and what measures you need to take to move you through it. Pray for the rain. You'll get through it if you just listen to Him.

While Thomas was in Chicago for a few days, I took the time to experiment with some new recipe ideas. Friends find it strange that I like to cook for myself, but I really enjoy testing out new ideas without facing rejection. I'm not saying that Thomas judges my cooking abilities or would ever push his plate aside (he once bravely powered through some disgustingly sandy and rubbery scallops), but my perfectionism definitely rears its ugly face while I'm cooking. After a few recipe test runs, there were some winners including an Italian tuna and farro salad (post coming soon), and there were some losers like roasted chicken with limoncello sauce (mediocre and frankly, a bit nauseating).
On a lazy Saturday afternoon, I surveyed the contents of my fridge and decided to make use of my ripe strawberries and peaches to create a fun and fruity smoothie. And since the temperature was in the 90's, I took it one step further and decided to make fun and fruity popsicles. When I discovered a bottle of white zinfandel that a friend gifted us as a joke that had been banished to the deepest corner of the fridge, I just had to take it up a notch and make fun and fruity alcoholic popsicles! Luckily no one was around to criticize me for using such a shoddy wine to make popsicles. Don't judge me. I played around with my ingredients to make strawberry-peach sangria and then froze the mixture in my $3.99 popsicle molds from Bed, Bath & Beyond. Although the finished product was refreshingly delicious, I failed to take into consideration that when making these strawberry peach sangria pops alone, that I would essentially be drinking alone too. Oh well. Bottoms up! Again, don't judge me :)
Strawberry Peach Sangria Pops
Makes 4 large popsicles
1 cup strawberries, diced
1 cup peaches, diced (skins and pits removed)
½ cup white grape juice
½ cup white wine (Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc would be nice, or perhaps a Rosé)
Pinch of cinnamon
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add a hint of superfine sugar as needed (I did not add sugar because my grape juice was plenty sweet). Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 6 hours or overnight. If the popsicles are difficult to remove, run the tray under warm water and wiggle until the popsicles slide out easily. Enjoy!

Council Elections - General Information
Councils are part of the democratic framework of Australia. The community elects their Council Members every four years.
The next Council Elections will be held in November 2018.
The rules for elections are set out in the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999 - an act of the South Australian Parliament - to view the Act, click here.
Unlike State and Federal elections, it is not compulsory to vote in South Australian council elections. However, council elections are the biggest single voluntary civic participation activity in the state with nearly 360,000 people voting in the 2014 council elections.
Another important difference from State and Federal elections is that all voting in council elections is done by post. Enrolled voters receive a voting package through the mail and return their votes in a reply paid envelope.

Legislative Framework
The rules for local government elections are set out in the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, an act of the South Australian Parliament. To view the Act go to www.parliament.sa.gov.au
Refreshing the voters' roll
Under the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, there is a requirement to purge the council supplementary roll on 1 January of every election year. All landlords, business lessees and resident non-Australian citizens are removed from the council voters roll (with the exception of City of Adelaide) and must re-enrol to be able to vote.
If you have been removed from the roll under these provisions you must re-enrol before the roll close deadline on Friday 10 August 2018, otherwise you will not be able to vote in 2018 elections.
Enrolling to vote
The voters' roll for council elections consists of two components – the House of Assembly (State) roll, and the council supplementary roll.
If you are on the House of Assembly roll you will automatically receive a voting pack mailed to your registered address.
If you have moved house or changed your name, you need to complete a new enrolment form, available at your local Post Office or at the Electoral Commission SA office located at Level 6/60 Light Square, Adelaide or by calling them on 1300 655 232 to request a form be sent to you. To check and update your enrolment click here.
If you are not enrolled on the House of Assembly roll you may be eligible to register on the council supplementary roll if:
- You have been resident at your current address for one month and are not on the State Electoral Roll
- You are a sole owner/occupier of rateable property
- You are NOT an Australian Citizen but you have been a resident at your current address for one month
- You are a landlord for rateable property
- You are an organisation/business owner or occupier of rateable property
- You are a group of owners or occupiers of rateable property.
Nominating as a candidate for election
Most people who are on the council voters roll can stand for election.
Becoming a councillor is one of the most direct ways that you can influence decisions that affect the quality of life in your local area.
If you are interested in representing the people of your community on council, the Electoral Commission of SA and the LGA(SA) provide a range of resources to help you understand the role and responsibilities of being a councillor.
With very few exceptions (such as being an undischarged bankrupt, or being disqualified from holding office by a court order), you can nominate for a position on council regardless of qualifications, religion, race, gender, experience or profession.
In fact, councils actively encourage nominations from people from diverse backgrounds to ensure that a wide range of views are being represented. The Local Government Association and many councils run information sessions for potential candidates.
The updated resources will be available later in 2018, however, you can find information from the 2014 elections here. Keep checking this link for the 2018 information.
It is important to note that there may be changes to this information as a result of pending changes to the Local Government Act (1999) and the Local Government Elections Act (1999). The 2014 information should be read for background information only.
The LGA and some local councils will also run information seminars for candidates during July and August, 2018. Details will be available on this website.
Nomination process
Nominations for the 2018 local government elections open Tuesday 4 September 2018 and close Tuesday 18 September 2018 at 12 noon. During this time, you must complete and lodge a nomination form which is available from you council and other advertised locations.
You will also be asked to lodge a 150-word candidate profile and a 'head shoulders' photograph which will be published on a candidates' website.
You should refer to the 2018 candidate resources for more information about the nomination process and requirements once they become available in July 2018.
LGA Information sessions for potential candidates.
Below are the details of upcoming LGA sessions aimed at anyone planning on nominating for the upcoming Council Elections in November.

Last week I was on the phone with a very dear friend. (With this I have to say that now that I have my little R I just don't do the phone very much. I know that's bad and all, and I do still love my friends, it's just my priorities have, well, shifted. If we haven't talked in awhile, it's not that I don't like/love you still, it's just I suck at taking the time to call you. So, no hard feelings?!) Ok, back to where I was really going with this. While on the phone with this friend, and mind you since I suck at the phone, we haven't talked in a while, she of course asks me how R is doing and I, of course, go on and on. Then she says, "So, what's it like being a mama?" My response, silence at first. It seems like such an easy question but it left me speechless- for all of three seconds before I blurted out, "Great!" Great? Like that's all I had to say? What?
Being a mom has no doubt changed my life totally, as I'm sure any parent will say the same. It has changed my life in so many fabulous ways. (As I went back to proof read, I had typed love instead of life! It's true, my love has changed too!) And not to brag or anything, but R is just about the best baby anyone could ask for and I feel extremely blessed. He is truly just a little doll. An angel-doll-yummy baby. Anywho, I feel like I feel so much more now. I suppose that could be the crazy hormones still circulating through my body as I am breast feeding and all, but I think it's not. Even from the moment we walked through our door when we brought R home from the hospital everything looked different. Everything looked clearer and crisp and beautiful in a whole new way.
I can spend hours with R sitting in bed or on the couch talking and playing with him. These hours just fly by. Time before R had a way of just dragging. I was telling my husband, N, last night that I have such a different perspective on Friday & Saturday nights now. And I'll admit, it may sound pathetic but oh well. I just don't mind spending my weekend nights at home hanging out with my boys. This time is just so precious to me. I do still love to hang out with friends and all, but if we stay in and watch a movie and just get to cuddle and play with R, then that is a fantastic Friday night to me.
Back to 'great.' So yes, after I hung up the phone with my friend I started thinking about how lame it was that all I could come up with was great. I mean, sure, I guess there are a ton of other adjectives that could describe this feeling, but this feeling is, well, almost indescribable. It just feels so right, sometimes it doesn't feel like anything different because it has fully consumed me and is me now.
Even though I've now thought and thought, wrote about it and thought some more, I still might find it hard to find just the right, perfect word to describe being a mama. But then again maybe I have. Blissfull.

Here's the deal.
The exchange is LCTUR, we've burned through six RFS dates, Openreach now states we're in a superfast area, but Wholesale haven't activated it yet?
The question is how long before they do? Will it be weeks, months or sometime whenever never??
One would have thought that as soon as the infrastructure is in place they'd be chomping at the bit to get people signed up?
Thoughts anyone?

A Dominatrix knows that feet have a variety of uses, some of them benevolent, but she wants her feet to be clean for the occasion... and no, she doesn't have a bath in mind, nor even a washcloth: She wants them cleaned by tongue power. She is with a man, and she give him her filthy bare feet for him to suck clean, after which she shows him just how kind she (and her feet) can be: She wraps her feet around his cock and uses her bare feet to jerk off his cock. As he pushes his cock back and forth between her insteps, he gets closer and closer to coming....

Recently we got our hands on a Sony MP-CL1 mobile projector, or as they are more commonly known these days, a pico-projector. It's a pretty compact device being a tad under 6" long, a tad over 3" wide, and a tad over ½" thick (145 x 77 x 13 mm), and weighs in at 210 gm (~7.4 oz.), so it will definitely fit in all but the smallest purses, or make a hefty shirt-pocket full.
The unit has a 16x9, 1920x720 display, with a claimed contrast ratio of 80,000:1 and a full colour palette, generated with a laser light source capable of cranking out 32 lumens (good for a 40-inch display in a darkened room). Connection is by HDMI and USB ports and WiFi (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n), and it retails for $350 US on Amazon and elsewhere.
Now that we've covered the specs, what do we find inside? It has a fairly solid aluminum chassis, and a battery that Sony says is large enough to charge up your phone in an emergency.
The projector sub-assembly lies next to the battery, and with the lid off we can see the optical engine sitting at an angle in the sub-frame.
It appears that the projector itself is a unit from Microvsion:
They have a technology they call PicoP® Display, which uses laser beam scanning (LBS); red, blue and green lasers combine to give the full range of colours, and a patented MEMS scanner crates the image. Other pico-projectors using the LBS engine include the Celluon Pico-Pro and the Sharp RoBoHon phone.
If we flip the unit around and take a look at the front, we can see the MEMs itself;
At the right are the wire bonds connecting it to the flex tape, and in the centre is the micromirror of the MEMS unit, connected to, and surrounded by, an oval coil which is suspended laterally by a thin microwire. Within the oval is the (almost) circular mirror suspended vertically by a wider torsion bar. With the two axes allowing the mirror to move in the x- and y-directions, we can get the raster pattern necessary to make the image, as shown in this Microvision schematic:
The colour modulation to create the image is done by tweaking the brightness and timing of the three lasers.
The MEMS itself is actually a good-sized silicon die – I make it ~4.5 x 7.3 mm, and the mirror itself ~1.1 x 1.2 mm. Another feature of note is tucked in the top right corner:
Which is where STMicroelectronics come in – they clearly make the MEMS die for the Microvision module. This is the second time recently that we've seen ST micromirrors in products, we blogged about the Intel RealSense camera back in July. This one is different, though, the RealSense MEMS is an electrostatic scanning mirror that only scans in one direction, whereas the Microvision device is a dual-axis electromagnetic scanning mirror.
The comb structures that convert the electrostatic signal to torsional rotation are clearly visible on either side of the mirror disc.
If we take a closer look at the 2-axis mirror from the Sony projector, we can see a coil is formed on the front of the oval silicon substrate, and other electromagnetic moldings are on the back of the structure.
Clearly a sophisticated piece of MEMS design, and very different from the Texas Instrument DLP projectors we have seen, which use arrays of individual micromirrors to create the pixels in the display.
In terms of the potential for pico-projectors, TechNavio predicts a CAGR of 33% over the next three years for the different technologies, including liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), digital light processing (DLP), laser beam steering (LBS) and holographic laser projection (HLP). So even though LBS systems are just a part of that growth, it bodes well for the micromirror business, and STMicroelectronics will no doubt be a force in that space!

Manga heart was able to rescue one OVC girls who was being married. The OVC by the Name Everlyine Nyakundi was a total orphan whose mother succumbed to death while giving birth. The poor child was left under the care of her grandparents who were too old to support her. In partnership with HEAR and Aphia plus western Kenya, the girl managed to be seen through her form four at sironga Girls National school. Upon completion, the minor was taken away by a boy who claimed to be her husband. The parents of the boy advanced him to run away with the girl to Nakuru flower farms where he was working by then. On realizing this the Manga heart Orphan care acted quickly and the mother-in-law wa put safely behind bars and was ordered to produce the Girl (OVC). Surprisingly in the evening, the OVC had arrived from Nakuru.. However, the ovc had secured an identity card under her 'Husband' name different from her academic certificates. The OVC was taken back to her grandparents as a plans to change the wrong ID progressed. Right now the girl is in university pursuing her degree in education. She is actually a mentor to other girls.
Manga heart in partnership with Aphia Plus has trained caretakers on entrepreneurship skills. Surprisingly two among other have emerged to initiate their own business. That is Jane Masagwe and Beatrice. Jane through her own business has been able to educate her four daughters. One of whom has completed her form four level and joined university the others are still schooling in secondary and primary school respectively. She is also a supplier of vegetable in one of the school in manga sub-county. The other lady has also has also started a kiosk where she sells tea, cooked maize, loaves of bread, dough nuts among others. Through the business, she has been able to not only educate her own children but also save some. She has a dream of expanding her business serving as a role model in the community
Manga heart in partnership with HEART and Aphia Plus has produced champions in education. Through financial support of these parties, many OVC's have finished their secondary education and have proceeded to tertiary institutions. Some have joined universities, medical institutions while other are in institutes. Soon the organization is go many educated individuals who will inject their effort in national development. There are several ovc who have joined National schools and provincial school. Most of them are working smart and do swear not to fight a losing fight.
Manga HEART knows that the factor that makes persons vulnerable is economic impoverishment. Therefore, at its core operations is the improvement of the community's economic status. Manga HEART recognizes the role of women in household wellbeing and as such, it has tailored its economic programs to suit the women. The program builds the capacities of families to have sustainable livelihoods through its economic strengthening program. This program strengthens the caregivers' skills and abilities to meet the needs of vulnerable children in their care. Through its household economic assessment survey, Manga HEART identifies vulnerability levels using households' vulnerability assessment tool. It then classifies the households into three categories (highly vulnerable, moderately vulnerable and lowly vulnerable)
Education is at the core of Manga HEART's activities. We work to support and nurture a child's education and highlight best practices in education. Since its inception, Manga HEART has extended education opportunities to under privileged children through partnerships with HEART, USAID-Aphia Plus, Manga Sub-county Children Department and the Constituency Development Fund. Under this program Manga HEART:
The manga heart orphan care is a community based organization situated along the kisii-Nyamira road.

ISMG's Executive Briefings focus on specific challenges being faced by information security executives in today's cybersecurity landscape. Moderated by one of ISMG's Executive Editors and a guest industry expert, Briefings give cybersecurity professionals the opportunity to discuss threats and controls with a handful of market leaders in an informal setting, from which you will emerge with new ideas and solutions you can immediately put to work to improve your own organization's defensive posture.
Secure the Breach: Why You Need to Encrypt Everything
It's been said that data is the new oil. Enterprises and adversaries alike want to find it, extract it, refine it, distribute it and then monetize it. So, what are you doing to protect your sensitive data, so adversaries can't pirate it and profit from it?
If you'd like some peer support in tackling that question, then join Tom Field for an exclusive executive roundtable discussion where attendees will tackle such topics as:
- Where do you even find the most sensitive data throughout your extended enterprise?
- What are best practices for securing data in motion and at rest?
- Once data is encrypted, how best to control and authenticate access to it?
Request To Attend
Interested in participating? Submit your request to attend this roundtable*:
*Please note that this is an invitation-only event and space is limited. All requests to attend will be reviewed by our event staff and approved based on professional qualifications and event capacity.

Chronic Stress Treatment in Southlake, TX
We all deal with stress, from work to family and everything in between; stress is a part of the body's natural fight-or-flight response. When you're constantly feeling stressed, however, you have a condition known as chronic stress. There are many factors that contribute to chronic stress, and a similarly high number of treatment options.
If you're interested in chronic stress treatment, call (817) 552-4300 or contact us online to schedule a consultation.
Causes of Chronic Stress
While some stress is normal and not a medical concern, chronic stress can be caused by a larger, overlying condition. As doctors and medical professionals learn more about the body's natural fight-or-flight response, imbalanced hormones have emerged as the primary cause of chronic stress.
The three hormones that control your body's stress levels are:
- Cortisol: Created by the adrenal glands, cortisol regulates your blood pressure, blood sugar and is useful in prioritizing what process your body needs during a stressful time.
- Adrenaline: This hormone controls your immediate, physical reactions to stress. That includes the tightening of muscles, increased blood flow and a quicker heart rate.
- Norepinephrine: This hormone regulates your level of focus and alertness during stressful times.
The largely gender-specific hormones of estrogen and testosterone also play a role in stress. When any of these hormones is either under-produced or overproduced it can lead to chronic stress and a number of frightening side-effects. Micronutrient deficiencies are also thought to be a cause of chronic stress. Your body needs a multitude of micronutrients to function properly. Patients who experience chronic fatigue should be tested for micronutrient deficiencies. Correcting deficiencies using pharmaceutical grade supplements often relieves symptoms.
Effects of Chronic Stress
In addition to general discomfort and an uneasy mind, excess of the stress hormones along with the resulting chronic stress can cause debilitating medical conditions. Some of these include:
- Weight gain / Obesity
- Low libido
- High blood pressure / Hypertension
- Decreased bone density / Osteoporosis
- Muscle loss
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Hyperglycemia
If you're seeing any combination of these conditions, you need to get help immediately. Chronic stress may seem like a side-effect of a difficult life, but it can be dangerous and even fatal if it goes untreated.
Chronic Stress Treatment
As chronic stress is largely the result of hormonal imbalance, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, is becoming a popular treatment option. BHRT seeks to correct your body's natural stress hormone levels.
This is done with natural hormones, such as cortisol, estrogen and testosterone, as opposed to the synthetic recreations used in conventional hormone replacement therapy. These bioidentical hormones can relieve chronic stress via a variety of delivery options including:
- Pills
- Tablets
- Patches
- Injected pellets
- Creams
- Gels
Each of these is a viable method for BHRT delivery. The only way to discover which method is right for you is to contact a doctor. Your doctor will also likely recommend a number of lifestyle changes to help with your chronic stress problem, including:
- Improved diet
- Increased exercise
- Relaxation techniques
- Vitamin and supplement programs
Feel Happy & Calm
Chronic stress shouldn't be ignored. It's likely a sign of hormonal imbalance, and may have fatal consequences. If you're interested in a de-stressed, happier life through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, call (817) 552-4300 or contact us online to schedule a consultation.

Sony 70-300mm F4.5-5.6G SSM
Šifra: / peace
~ pozovite za cenu
Aperture Range: f/4.5-32 For DT Alpha & Minolta DSLRs Optimized for APS-C Image Sensors 2x Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Glass Super Sonic Wave Motor (SSM) In-Camera Image Stabilization Minimum Focus Distance: 4.0' Filter Diameter: 62mm Focus Hold Button
The 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G Telephoto Zoom Lens from Sony is a G-series Sony Alpha telephoto zoom lens that uses supersonic-wave motor (SSM) technology for quieter, smoother AF operation. It is constructed of 16 elements in 11 groups, as well as its dual Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass, which all help to deliver sharp, clear photos throughout the zoom range.
It has a minimum focusing distance of 4.0' and a front-end filter diameter of 62mm. High-quality multi-coatings increase transmittance and reduce flare to preserve contrast, while its 0.25x maximum magnification and optional teleconverter compatibility give it increased zoom and versatility.
- Aperture Range: f/4.5-32
- In addition to the zoom range, the aperture varies along with the focal length: with f/4.5 to 5.6 at the wide end, and up to f/32 throughout the zoom range.
- Optimized For APS-C Size / DT-Format Alpha & Minolta DSLRs
- Optimized for Sony Alpha APS-C sensor cameras, the lens covers an outstanding 4.3x zoom range from a normal 70mm end to a 300mm telephoto zoom, which is the 35mm equivalent of an 105-450mm lens.
- 2x Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Glass
- To reduce chromatic aberrations, most noticeable when zoomed all the way in, the extra-low dispersion glass corrects for certain wavelengths of light - producing sharper images with truer colors.
- Super Sonic Wave Motor (SSM)
- Designed for fast, smooth, silent automatic focusing, this unique technology achieves high torque at low speed with rapid start/stop response. It operates through the ability of a piezoelectric device to reshape itself quickly when voltage is applied.
- In-Camera Image Stabilization
- Because Sony's Alpha DSLR cameras have image stabilization built-in, the lenses attached to them don't require the added bulk. This leaves the lens lighter and more compact without the need for the added mechanics.
- Minimum Focus Distance: 4.0'
- With the ability to focus as closely as 4 feet (1.2 m), this telephoto lens also lets you move in for dramatic shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details.
- Filter Diameter: 62mm
- The 62mm from filter thread does not rotate, allowing rotating polarizing filters to be used.
- Focus Hold Button
- This lens is made with a Focus Mode switch and Focus Hold button, which offer better focus control whenever you need it.

I finally caught up with the Royal Academy Summer Show and found some works which I thought really exciting. This of course shouldn't be a matter of surprise; there is always work there which is interesting and innovative. But the Summer Exhibition does not always give that impression: the sheer numbers of works on offer and the density of the hanging can make the good stuff hard to spot. This year it felt a little more authoritative and a bit less like a local art show multiplied a hundred times. It was helped by the fact that the organisers had managed to bring in several really major works. I particularly admired the Anselm Kiefer; I have seen loads of photographs of Kiefer paintings but not enough of the real thing so I was pleased to discover that the RA is having a major Kiefer retrospective from September 27 to December 14.
There was also a fine sculpture by the late Sir Anthony Caro
and a small and rather desirable sculpture by Phyllida Barlow which would be rather easier to place around the house than Dock now showing at the Tate. It costs £60,000, and I idly tried to work out how much the Tate exhibition would be worth if it were priced pro rata by volume: I reckoned something of the order of £25 billion.
What is wonderful in any show, is when you find a new artist whose work you really like. The Caro and the Barlow were both in Gallery IV, curated by Hughie O'Donoghue and so was this piece by Irish artist Paul Mosse. It doesn't photograph as well as it appears in real life, but, even here, you can see that the texture is fascinating. It seemed, so far as I could judge, to be made at least in part by splintered wood. It made me look up Mosse's other work. The interesting, muddy pink, fleshy colour appears quite a lot and on his website there were larger ones that I liked even better. Mosse tends to use unconventional and abject materials including packaging, dust, nails, the everyday detritus of modern life. He works a lot by constructing, deconstructing and restructuring to produce a layered effect with fracturing and fissuring playing an important part. Though some of his works are proper 3D sculptures others, like this, he describes as 2½D
Also in this room were works by the Guyanian born artist Frank Bowling. Bowling is known as a colourist and I particularly liked the vibrancy of Buttoned it up again from Barney and Marko. These pieces have a simplicity which is entirely deceptive. This work essentially comprises three bands of shaded colour plus some gold bits; anyone could do it, you might think, but try yourself to produce banded colour that works and you suddenly find how difficult it is. Those edges don't just happen like that by themselves. Look at the photograph of the Caro and you can also see hanging above it, another of Bowling's banded works – this time in blues and pinks and reds.
There was of course loads of stuff which I did not like at all, some because it just seemed boring, or garish, other times remarkably amateurish, or all three. It made me muse about the Grayson Perry sentiment quoted on the RA website that "the difference between an amateur and professional artist is interesting. A professional is someone who got lucky and found an audience willing to pay for their work." There is luck and luck. As I went round every now and then I would see a small picture which I liked and look it up only to find it was done by a name I recognised; often it was Cornelia Parker. Those that get lucky appear to have something that differentiates them from the rest.
However, I continue to be unimpressed with Martin Creed. Really, what is the point of a neon spelling out Assholes? Apart from anything else, Creed is British and should know that it is spelt Arseholes.
I have this image of Creed's headmaster telling him, "it is not clever and it is not funny." The headmaster was wrong; it may not be funny, but it certainly is clever when you can get the British public to pay for them. They come as an edition of three each costing £53,036.
There were the oddities too. Towards the end of the exhibition was a work by James Turrell called Sensing Thought which comprised a rectangle of light which the blurb on the wall said drew viewers in and held their attention. Surprisingly, I found it did just that, though the contemplative atmosphere was somewhat marred by a rather anoying soundtrack which I initially took to be part of the work but which then appeared to be coming from an exhibit next door.
In the architectural room there was a bicycle by Ron Arad, mystifyingly called Two Nuns. It was a striking enough object and which I took at first to be entirely sculptural. A video on the wall showed that it could actually be ridden and suddenly it became a whole lot more interesting, though costing £100,000 it might be prudent not to use it for the daily commute and leave it chained up at the station bicycle rack.
You see I have put the price in again. That in itself is part of the fascination of the Summer Exhibition – the prices are visible. Everywhere you go, you hear people muttering, "do you know how much that cost? And if that is more generally said in shocked disbelief than in anticipation of a purchase, there is still plenty that is affordable. The rooms showing smaller works were as busy as ever. A couple of years ago I pointed out the pulling power of cats. It is still there, as are robins and scenes of London. Tracey Emin was doing pretty well too with some small and moderately priced etchings. They have probably all sold out by now.
I suddenly realised that rather than survey the exhibition as a whole, you could get a pretty good impression of what was popular with the public by looking at the greetings cards. So here they are; the cards of the 2014 Exhibtion.
You can see on the bottom row that the robin is present and correct; oh, sorry it is Spare Stonechat. There is the questionable sentiment that All schools should be art schools; there is a cat; there is a horse. What is that? There on the second row up is the Frank Bowling I admired. It does admittedly make rather a nice greeting card. Of well; it is still a very fine painting.
The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition runs until Sunday August 17.

Housing the Illustration
Beautiful Drawings
An over whelming wave of nostalgia passes over me every-time I see sketched illustrations of buildings. I was raised on sketched illustrations of buildings, my father a designer of historical model buildings and my mother an artist.
Back in the 1980's My parents set up a business called'Hovels' instead of using photographs to showcase my fathers model building designs, my mother would sketch them to be used in the 'Hovels' illustrated catalogue.
Sketched Illustrations of buildings, have certainly made a way into the interior design world mainly through wall-coverings. Today's Dreamwallstyle blog post is inspired by my nostalgic love of my mothers original sketches and my fathers model buildings, so I've put together a collection of some of my favourite sketched Illustration of buildings that you can now bring into your homes….housing the Illustration!
I'm a massive fan of Minimoderns launched in 2006 by London based designers Keith Stephenson and Mark…

New guy saying hello and peace to all :)
Hi guys , just joined and thought id say hello , hope all are well :)
So I'm onto my second marriage , and same issues are arising , luckily my new wife is a superstar angel and suggested I talk to someone as I react to situations badly and don't deal with certain issues the best .
I met up with a counsellor who identified all these issues I have due to my childhood , two alcoholic parents and also being adopted. Amazing after all these years you have an answer to why you react to certain situations or isolate yourself or feel depressed all the rest .....
Childhood trauma is terrible and not one of us deserved it , but only us can learn to live with it and try and live a positive life . It's taken me 34 years and a wonderful person( my wife ) for me to realise why I felt so different .
Hopefully this his forum can help younger people , especially teenagers , to realise they are very special beautiful people who deserve to be happy .

I really wanted a cake that would be delicious, as natural and organic as possible, dye-free and low in sugar. It seemed that I couldn't have my cake and eat it, too. My friend Karen, an amazing baker and pie-maker extraordinaire, was going to make the cake but things got complicated with her shop and had to cancel, so I had a week to get the perfect cake made!
I went to Whole Foods and to our two local health food stores but no store had natural food dyes at the time and even if they had them I knew they cost approximately $20 a pop! And so my kitchen became a lab for four days as I tinkered with our juicer to make perfect colors.
I also found a fantastic recipe for vegan fondant out of ricemellow (vegan marshmallow paste) and organic powdered sugar.
I know you must be thinking that it doesn't sound like the fondant was low-sugar, and it wasn't but I figured the kids at the party probably weren't going to eat much fondant anyways. So why go through the trouble of making the fondant dye-free? Because I prefer sugar over chemical dyes any day of the week. They just freak me out!
The downside to using natural dyes is that you can't ever get Elmo to look as red as you want him to, it won't happen! He'll be pastel Elmo but as long as baby girl doesn't mind I'll continue making pastel colors.
Red: I juiced beets in our awesome juicer and then boiled it for just a little while. Be very careful! Stand over it the entire time as it will happen very fast. Then when it cooled I mixed it with a bit of coconut oil to mix it in with the fondant.
Green: easiest color! Juiced spinach (Don't boil! It doesn't improve like the beet juice did!) but it gives a nice green color. I've heard you can also just buy chlorophyll at the health food store and use that instead.
Yellow: I first used turmeric dissolved in water but it was too runny, so I threw that batch out, read more about turmeric, found out as I suspected, that it's fat soluble, so I mixed into warm coconut oil and was very pleased!
Blue: I boiled red cabbages and found a great blue hue but it was too runny and when mixed with the fondant it looked gray and made the fondant too liquid and sticky. Decided against using that color.
Orange: carrots! It's always fun to juice carrots. Although the juice was a bit too watery and the boiled down trick didn't work. Fortunately I only needed a little bit of orange for the cake. \
Homemade Vegan fondant:
(I promise you will have ingredients leftover)
-12 oz coconut oil
-A tub of ricemellow creme
-Half a pound of powdered sugar
Oil hands and work surface thoroughly, no need to measure, but if you must then, get about a tablespoon of ricemellow. Place on one hand and add lots of powdered sugar with the other hand. It helps if the powdered sugar is in a bowl you can reach into. Also place some oil in a bowl so you can dip your hands as you work the mixture in your hand and on the surface. Mix sugar into the sticky ricemellow until it stops sticking and it becomes a malleable paste (this can easily take five minutes! Do not despair!)
Once you make it you can separate it to color it.
Make a small ball with some fondant, flatten it and add a few drops of color and work it in. The humidity of the natural dye will probably make the fondant sticky again so feel free to add more powdered sugar, which will make the color paler and will force you to add more natural dye, and on and on you will continue this cycle until you find the compromise between color and texture.
The oily dyes (turmeric) work better because they're not watery (spinach) and you can achieve vibrant color without changing the texture that much. Also, the more sugar you use, the harder the paste will become and the easier it will be to shape it!
Now that you have your colored fondant you can shape it!
To make the caterpillar I used the biggest ball of fondant and colored it green, then rolled the ball out into a caterpillar shape and used a blunt knife to make the sections. I used a bit of the red and yellow fondant to make the face.
I made one apple out of red and green fondant.
Two pears out of green fondant, three plums out of red fondant mixed with green and I may have even used some coffee drops!?
I can't remember now but I was trying to achieve a plum color! Also four strawberries out of red and green for the tops, and five oranges out of the orange fondant mixed with the red (beet) fondant and yellow fondant.
I was a bit worried that I was limited by the colors but once I shaped the strawberries different from the apples it didn't matter that they were the exact same color. I even used a toothpick to make tiny little dots on the oranges.
Every piece of decoration froze well on a cookie sheet covered with wrap. An hour before the party I took them out of the freezer and popped them out of the plastic wrap and placed them on the frosted cake. Ta-dah!
The cake breakdown: Bottom layer was two vegan chocolate cakes (12" diameter) with chocolate ganache (non vegan) in between them. The top tier was a vegan apple spice cake (9" diameter). The cakes were made a couple of days before the party and frozen to make decorating easier. The frosting was buttercream frosting also made from scratch.
And although my plan was to make the entire cake vegan as possible I forgot to use coconut oil for the frosting and coconut milk for the ganache on the actual day! The day of the party I only made the frosting, the ganache and decorated the cake.

For every spectacular sunset moment, there's a spilled milk moment waiting to happen in the wings. Because the truth is, life as we actually experience it is about both. The spilled as well as the spilling-over. And of course all the other stuff in between.
My name's Nikki, self-confessed milk-spiller, sunset-chaser, never-quite-on-timer, writer, book-eater, chronic over-thinker and believer with treasure in a jar of clay (mine's a nice turquoise blue colour, with more than a few cracks in it). I am mum to three exasperatingly beautiful miracles aged five and under referred to here simply as E, W, and J, and best friend and wife to an absent-minded-professor of American history, who I like to call Dr M. Together with our kids and our books we live close and crazy under the beating sun in Sydney, Australia.
For the decade or so before having kids I studied and taught English literature and creative writing at university. But these days I enjoy playing with words over analysing them.
I started this space because I wanted to tell our story, but more than this, I wanted to share our story. Because while the nice and the knotty particulars may be ours, the paths we travel are never ours alone. The places we have been, the places we are going, others have been there too. Others will go there. There are many great reasons to tell stories, but the one I prize the most is this: Stories can be vehicles of companionship and grace, they can help remind us we are in this together.
The avenues I wander down are those closest to my heart. Here you will find words that consider:
The more-than-spilled-milk sadness and struggle of grief and anxiety.
When I was nineteen I lost my brother Greg in a car accident and met for the first time the cruel face of grief . This was followed with a subsequent meeting with one of grief's close cousins, anxiety. I write about that here, meeting the Big A: anxiety.
The hideandseek game of infertility.
We weren't always parents of three. For many years we scratched '0' in any form that required information about children. You can begin reading about all that here in our epic journey to parenthood part one. It was so epic it required two parts to tell it.
The simultaneous sunset-striking wonder and paradox of parenting.
Part comedy, part drama, parenting is a soul-souring domestic adrenalin sport – read some of my most popular parenting posts listed below:
What I could never have known about the paradoxes and contradictions of being a parent
Sleep Thiefs: When your Children steal your Slumber
The life of faith.
I am above all else a believer in Jesus Christ. Not just a believer, a loved-by-God child. It's outrageous. And amazing. I hope this whole blog shows how this changes everything. Writing it down I find helps its passage to my head and heart.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, let me assure you I'm so glad you've found your way here. Please feel free to linger long or short, day or night. Know that you are always welcome. As long as you don't mind stumbling over a little mess amongst the meaning.
If you'd like our topsy-turvey redeemed by grace story to spill into your inbox about once a week simply subscribe below, and I'll do my best to send words your way worth reading

September 28, 2012By Anomaly
The North Carolina Republican Party just fired the voter registration firm owned by Mitt Romney's paid political consultant and longtime GOP operative, Nathan Sproul. Sproul has been working with the RNC for years and now, 10 counties in Florida alone are reporting fraudulent registration forms.
Adalia Woodbury from PoliitucsUSA reports:
Yesterday, the RNC, along with State Republicans in Florida, North Carolina and Colorado, fired Nathan Sproul's firm following reports that 106 questionable voter registration forms were submitted to Palm Beach County's Supervisor of Elections, Susan Bucher by a Strategic Allied Consulting employee. That investigation is now mushrooming with ten counties reporting possibly suspect forms.
Sproul was hired by the Bush Campaign to register Republican voters and misplace or destroy Democratic voters in 2004. For his services, Sproul was paid eight million dollars.
The firm was hired at the request of the Republican National Committee – Sproul is infamous for having committed fraud by tampering with Democratic voter registration forms and suppressing votes.
Wral reports, "Sproul was hired by the Romney campaign for a period of five months that began last November and ended in March. But now there's evidence that the payments continued, only to a different name."
Voter ID Laws have been sweeping America, conveniently just before the Presidential election. ACORN, the organization, which became notorious after highly edited tapes were created by James O'Keefe and the now deceased Andrew Breitbart, never destroyed registration forms.
But, since they have already besmirched ACORN's name already, Texas Attorney General, is going to roll with that.
On Project Vote's site:
Earlier this month, Project Vote filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the justices to intervene and prevent the state from enforcing laws that place undue burdens on voter registration drive. Yesterday, the court denied the emergency appeal.
"The most important issue is that several million Texans are still not registered to vote. Texas law should make it easier, not harder, for community members to help one another to register.
"Americans have been fighting for fair access to the ballot box since the birth of our democracy. Project Vote will continue to fight these burdensome Texas laws in court and we look forward to having a full hearing at the Fifth Circuit later this year. We are optimistic that, ultimately, these restrictions will be stuck down as they have been in other courts around the nation."
Texas AG's response:
Last night the U.S. Supreme Court denied Project Vote's emergency request to block Texas from enforcing election integrity laws that were enacted to prevent voter-registration fraud. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott released the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's denial of Project Vote's appeal:
"The Supreme Court's rejection of Project Vote's appeal is a victory for voter integrity and helps Texas prevent fraud in the voter-registration process. The partisan groups that challenged these laws were founded by and affiliated with ACORN – an organization that was notorious for voter-registration fraud. With this ruling, the court rejected these ACORN affiliates' attempts to circumvent election integrity laws and helped ensure that Texans can have confidence in the integrity of their elections."
(My bold)
The hypocrisy in this man's statement is through the roof. Note that pundits and journalists have shied away from asking Mitt Romney what exact affiliation he has had with Sproul — and why. ACORN was attacked because Republicans believed the organization to lean heavily toward Obama. Where in the fuck is James O'Keefe? I'm sure he'll be all up in this. Any moment now.
Meanwhile, Tea Party groups are working overtime, intimidating voters at the polls, in a feigned attempt to seek out illegal voters. And all of this trouble for a fairy tale. Republicans have been touting Voter ID laws while purging actual voters, all in the name of voter fraud — which is almost nonexistent.
Still yet, Republicans are purging voters in Colorado and Florida, which target largely Democrat and independent registered voters — mainly the elderly and minorities.
What they've unearthed:
"Officials uncovered that less than one-tenth of 1 percent of voters are potentially unqualified to vote. These findings drastically downgrade Republican fears of voter fraud from the tens of thousands of noncitizens officials originally estimated."
Vote wisely. Register to Vote.

13 Injured in Jacksonville Bus and SUV Crash
Two people in an SUV and eleven people aboard a Jacksonville Transit Authority (JTA) bus were injured after the bus swerved and struck the SUV and then a pole on St. Augustine Road. According to Jacksonville Fire and Rescue, of the 13 people transported to the hospital after the accident, most complained of back and neck injuries.
The bus accident in Jacksonville is still under investigation and authorities still aren't certain what happened. One witness told News 4 in Jacksonville that it appeared the bus driver may have had a seizure or some other medical problem before losing control of the bus and rear-ending the SUV.
"The bus driver was swerving a little bit, like there was something wrong with him," the witness stated. "He just didn't look right when we pulled up."
The bus driver was among those hospitalized. There is no word of the extent of the injuries to the victims, but by most accounts, the injuries were all non-life-threatening.
The accident occurred right in front of San Jose Elementary School. Two students in the SUV were not injured in the crash and reportedly walked across the street to school.
Although it is unclear whether the bus driver had a medical emergency before the crash, the law in Florida is clear: existing bus transit drivers have to have a medical examination once every two years and the employer must have a current signed medical examination for each driver on file.
If you've been hurt in a bus accident that you believe was caused by a driver's negligence, you may be eligible to receive compensation for medical bills and other damages. A Jacksonville bus crash lawyer at Farah & Farah can take your call today at (800) 533-3555 to discuss a plan of action to pursue your legal rights. The call and the consultation are free.
