STREET TO STABLE ™ is a community that is connected by the equestrian way of life. Authentic horsemen hail from diverse backgrounds, but as a group they share a mutual respect & compassion for the horse. This affinity is all-encompassing & influences multiple facets of one's lifestyle including the pursuit of impossible perfection within their chosen discipline, stable management, health & wellness, leisure activities, wardrobe selection & much more. STREET TO STABLE is dedicated to sharing these common bonds that exist amongst equestrian enthusiasts.
In 2012 when I started this blog, it truly was an extension of my consulting company, K.M. Thornton & Co., llc. My career within Agricultural Business, which had started as an undergraduate in college, had run a full and rewarding course and I was ready to use my professional skills to assist specifically equestrian businesses. I had hired a business advisor to assist me with the transition and she suggested (rather insisted) that I use the blog as an outlet to write about my passion as it relates to the equestrian industry. Little did either of us know that it would morph into a business of it's own!
Initially, the K.M. Thornton & Co., llc blog was a format to discuss industry trends and within a year it evolved to better highlight my appreciation for equestrian inspired artisans. I had worked in commodity driven businesses my entire career and I knew that the pursuit of perfection and the sacrifices of artisans better spoke to me. I attribute this connection to a childhood riding horses and saving money for various pieces of handmade tack and equipment that I would covet when purchased.
In late 2015, I knew the time had arrived to distance my name from the blog so that it was more about the community. I am often approached for advice from other equestrians on topics that affect all of us including skincare, nutrition, and cross training and wanted to build a better forum to provide this information. The blog already has incredible advisory committee whose members were chosen because of their knowledge living the equestrian way of life. They provide first hand insights about products, events and issues that directly relate to this community.
My time spent at the stable exponentially grew when I started to work for my own company. Instead of working to pay someone to train and care for my horse, I now have flexible hours to ride and I have taken on much of the daily activities including grooming, health care, riding, etc. My close friends are now centered around horses instead of the office and most of us are adult riders that have made various sacrifices to ride. My lifestyle changed so much that I started wearing riding clothes to run errands and I figured out how to pair flats with breeches and a nice washable sweater and then just change to boots at the barn. I am pretty filthy after caring for my horse, hence the name of this blog, STREET TO STABLE, not stable to street…I am sure many of you can relate!

So it seems there is an advantage to using 'image-resolution': the value is inherited, so that you could set it once on, say, the body, and you don't have to set it again unless you want to override it on individual images (which you can then do via image() if you want).Received on Wednesday, 25 May 2011 02:48:39 UTC

One of the worst occupational hazards of being a dog-sitter is losing clients and it is with a heavy heart that I must share that dear, sweet Goldie has passed away.
|She was pretty, loyal, playful, and kind.
|All smiles in better days.
It still doesn't make it easy to have to say goodbye, though.
|I did not know that this picture I took of Goldie wading around with me in the lake would be the last photograph I'd ever take of her.
I only looked after Goldie for two years before her passing, but I came to love her fully during that too-brief time and have so many wonderful memories of her. She was playful, joyful, loyal, quiet, and kind. Her favorite things included playing with her favorite rope-and-ball toys...
|This is my very favorite photograph of Goldie!
|She had so much fun with these toys.
|They were great for tossing, tugging, chewing, fetching, and rolling on both inside and outside the house.
...rolling in the grass...
|I'm sure there is no other dog in the world who got as much joy from rolling around in the grass!
|She'd wriggle and roll and pedal her legs as if riding a bicycle.
|Goldie would roll in wet grass until she was absolutely sopping.
|Doesn't she look happy?
...wading in the lake...
|Summer or winter, rain or shine, Goldie was always ready to get in the lake.
|Blowing bubbles.
|On a warm summer day, you might as well just take a load off in the water!
...playing with her best doggie friend...
|Goldie and her friend and neighbor, Sable, would play together for hours at a time.
|Mostly they chased one another, but they did a bit of wrestling, too!
|The lake often figured in their games.
...and being brushed and petted.
I will fondly remember teaching her how to walk on a leash after living as a free-roaming country dog for most of her life...
|With the help of a head halter, Goldie quickly learned to walk on a leash without pulling.
...taking her to the dog park...
|She was the perfect kind of dog to take to the dog park.
...watching her play with her best doggie friend...
|As much fun as she had at dog parks, nothing compared to playing on her own property with Sable when her family moved to the house on the lake!
|Their game was simple: Sable would give Goldie a mock-bite on the neck and Goldie would chase her in mock-fury.
|It was an arrangement agreeable to both. Goldie and Sable often took a break from their game to say hello to me on the dock before running off to play some more.
...how astonishingly quiet she was (I could take care of her for weeks at a time and never hear a single peep out of her!), how well-mannered, and the sweet way she once very politely requested reassurance during a thunderstorm...
|Inside the house, Goldie was calm, quiet, and polite. She had wonderful manners.
|A dog needs a break now and then from all that rolling and romping!
...those funny flyaway wisps of fur that rose from her ears...
|The fur on Goldie's ears and head was very silky and fine and prone to standing on end.
|These flyaway wisps gave her a perpetually disheveled (and slightly goofy) look.
|The effect was quite charming.
...the way she carried her tail straight up when she was excited...
|TAIL UP! Goldie's tail points to the sky!
...our twice-daily strolls down to the lake...
|Sometimes, due to her canine obligations, Goldie would have break off to do some errands as we made our way down to the dock, but she always joined me eventually!
|We had a routine: every morning, as soon as I got up, we'd go down to the lake together to see what there was to see.
|Every evening, as the sun approached the horizon, we'd make our way down to the dock again to watch the night come.
|Goldie and I both loved those strolls to the lake.
...and her expressive face, so often lit with a smile.
|Goldie found many things to be happy about. It was in her nature to be pleased by the world.
|She was seldom without a smile.
|Such a good girl!
It is something of an obsession of mine, when petting an animal, to work out any mats or tangles I find and because Goldie was a long-haired dog who went in the water daily, there was always plenty of fur to work through and unbind!
Farewell, dear girl. I'll miss you forever.

Thanks to the latest technology, The View From Fez is able to reveal secret footage taken at a clandestine meeting in Fez. Although readers will be shocked by these images, our undergroud reporter, Ibn Warraq, managed to smuggle his Teddy Bear cam into a secret meeting participants in a croquet game taking place in Fez.
The Teddy Bear Hidden DVR Camera is a first of its kind. This Completely Covert Hidden Teddy Bear DVR Camera comes with a motion activated DVR, Hi resolution 480 TV line hidden color camera, a 20 hour rechargeable battery, 8 GB SD card for 64 hrs video recording, RCA Cable, Manual, and remote control for easy operation.
The Camera is hidden in the front on the bow. The DVR is completely hidden inside the bear for total covert operations. Just set in a room and begin recording then use SD card to view on your PC. The Motion-activated recording captures all the action and has a remote for manual recording as well. The RCA cable allows you to connect to a TV to view footage or set up camera. Can be set to overwrite old information or can be set to stop when SD card is full.
"Hit me!"
What we can reveal, is that, right in the heart of Fez, groups of consenting adults are meeting in order to feed their addiction to croquet - a decadent game that involves dubious use of mallets, hoops and coloured balls - accompanied by cries of "Hit me" or "Hit him hard!"
The following images were captured by placing the Teddy-cam either on the ground or by hand holding it in an affectionate manner.
WARNING Younger readers are advised to seek parental advice before viewing these shocking images.
|Two antique mallets and four coloured balls -
NOTE: the iron hoop to the left was made in Fez by an unsuspecting ironmonger
This arcane game requires the use of implements not usually found in Morocco (see photographic evidence above). We were shocked to learn that these implements are all of foreign origin except for the sets of iron hoops that were made in Fez.
One participant claimed to have a mallet made in Fez from Moroccan cedar, though we could not substantiate this bizarre claim.
|A colourfully dressed croqueteer uses a mallet to hit a red ball between the prongs of an iron hoop!
The coloured costumes of the players was obviously designed to confuse opponents. According to sources familiar with the rituals, hats and scarves must be worn at all times. Players must also pause between hitting other people's balls in order to refresh themselves with cucumber sandwiches and glasses of something called "Pimm's" - a brand of fruit cup, which may also be considered a liqueur. It was first produced in 1823 by a croquet player named James Pimm.
|The "Godfather" - smoking Old Toby pipe-weed from "the Shire"
At each match we observed a man referred to as "The Godfather" who sat taking wagers, dispensing Pimms and ajudicating. This individual appears to have immense power and respect in these circles as he was never expected to wield a mallet himself.
The Godfather records that latest wagers. His face has been pixilated to avoid recognition and possible legal action.
No other photographs of participants were possible because a small dog carried the teddy-cam away. It did however produce some interesting shots of what dogs do when they are by themselves. We can report that the players were multi-lingual - fluent in French Arabic, Portuguese, Finnish and Cambridge (not Oxford) English. There was also an American cowgirl player who surprised everyone with her yodelling each time she "hit someone real good"!
It is our understanding that this is not a one-off incident, but that teams of clandestine croquet players take part in regional tournaments. The underground croquet scene is rumoured to include teams such as the Casablanca Cowboys, the Marrakesh Red Stars, the Oujda Oddballs and the Fez Falcons. We will continue our infiltration of this sect and report in due course.
The Game
The origins of croquet are a little cloudy. Croquet has been traced back to the 1300's. It is thought that it may have been an in-door version of lawn-bowling to be played in times of inclement weather. It was then played in more confined spaces. The players enjoyed it enough to bring it back outside for the summer. Originating in France, the game was called "paille-maille" which means ball-mallet.
The MacNaghten - Spratt Theory
One theory is that the game traveled from Ireland to England around 1851. A Miss MacNaghten observed peasants in France playing a game with hoops made of willow rods and mallets of broomsticks inserted into pieces of wood and introduced it in Ireland. Sometime around 1850, she passed the idea to a Mr. Spratt and is evidenced by a copy of Spratt's rules in 1851.
|Miss MacNaghten may well be in this photograph
Spratt then passed the game on to John Jacques which Jacques disputed claiming he made equipment from patterns he bought in Ireland and had published rules before Spratt introduced the subject to him. Whatever the case, Jacques was the first to make equipment as a regular business and in 1864 published his first comprehensive code of laws. Since then, the manufacturing of equipment by Jacques has been passed down through generations.
After intense research, The View from Fez can bring you historical (hysterical) proof of earlier outbreaks of croquet in Morocco.

One of the great things about social dancing is that it can be a great way to "get away from it all" for a little while. On occasions when I feel down or am going through something tough, I make it a priority to get out and dance, even if I don't feel like it. And without fail, I always leave the dance feeling a million times better than when I first got there.
Dance is one of the few things I've found that can help me truly forget my troubles and just have a good time. You're very "in the moment" when you're dancing, so you really can't focus on your stresses, your deadlines, and all that other stuff.
At Swingin' on the Charles, a friend and I were actually talking about how it's almost impossible not to have fun at a swing dance. 🙂 Of course, there are nights when you feel like not going; you're tired, it's so far away, etc…but we agreed that those are the nights that are the best ones to get out on the dance floor! Nothing can get a lethargic "meh" mood to do a 180 faster than dancing, in my humble opinion.
At social dances, you're of course surrounded by other people. Generally speaking, most/all of these people are having a great time dancing with one another. And this positive vibe is quite infectious. Being social in and of itself can be enough to lift one's spirits if you're having a bad day. But add into that the joy of dancing? Dancing + people = Happy. Or something like that. 😛
If you have any thoughts, questions, or experiences of your own you'd like to share, feel free to post a comment! I'd love to hear what you have to say!

A Southern honey company teaches schoolchildren about bees (birds not included).
Ted Dennard built an empire on the backs of hardworking bees. Launched 13 years ago, his wildly successful Savannah Bee Company claims four stores in Georgia and South Carolina, plus a line of 150-plus products – artisanal honeys, beeswax candles and balms, and more – sold at premium retailers like Dean & DeLuca.
To pay his good fortune forward, Dennard established The Bee Cause Project in 2013 with the aim of installing and maintaining glass observation hives in schools. "Kids should understand the importance of these mighty pollinators to agriculture and the environment," he explains. Adds the nonprofit's director, Tami Enright: "If all goes well, we'll create a whole new generation of bee ambassadors." So far, 60 hives are up and buzzing in the Southeast.
To help Dennard and Enright reach their goal of equipping 1,000 classrooms across the country, purchase wildflower honey from The Bee Cause website; 100 percent of the proceeds will go toward the project. ($15 for a 12-ounce jar; thebeecause.org)

If you can't be perfect...be consistent... Laura-ism #3(?)
Do you see it? The inconsistency? The flaw? (Click on the photo to biggify it - sometimes Blogger cuts photos so you can't see the whole thing.)
Do I make mistakes? Yes. Am I perfect? No. Do I strive for perfection? Yes. But if you can't be perfect...
Over the years I have trained my eye to see inconsistencies. Imperfections. And then fix them.
As I worked with finer and finer yarns, those little inconsistencies became harder and harder to see. Sometimes I don't catch them until I've woven a couple more picks. Once the float is 'framed' by more correct picks, it shows up better.
But as quickly as I weave and using finer threads, sometimes I have to rely on other sensory input to realize something has gone wrong.
In addition to seeing the actual problem, I pay attention to other indicators. I watch the top of the shed. If it doesn't open consistently I look closely at that area. Sometimes the shuttle will hit an end if the shed doesn't open cleanly, pulling more slack on that thread. Then it is looser than the ends on either side and may not open all the way so that the next time the shuttle will go over instead of under it. Which is what happened in the above example.
I pay attention to the working of the loom and shuttle. If something feels different than the time(s) before, I look more closely. I pay attention to how the loom and shuttle sound.
Staying in focus, paying attention to what I am doing, not thinking about other things - weaving becomes a working meditation. Staying in the now, setting aside the tensions, the stresses of life, help to relieve the stress. Putting those stresses firmly outside the studio allows me to have relief from them. I get aerobic exercise, produce endorphins, plus at the end of a weaving session I have produced cloth.
Mindful weaving - it's helpful, healthful - and brings me closer to 'perfection' than not being present in the moment.

Dr. Denise Rassel & Dr. Jean-Guy Daigneault
Our Chiropractic Beginnings
Dr. Denise Rassel remembers, "People would crawl in… and they would walk out. Sick people got well.
'Expect A Miracle' was the sign that hung above my desk when I worked for my parents as a teenager. I always wondered why a person wouldn't try a spinal adjustment?"
After trying other careers she came back to her roots. More than a career, it is an opportunity to bring better health to the community.
Dr. Jean-Guy, a native of Montreal Quebec, Canada, is a Doctor of Chiropractic today due to the phenomenal care he received during his fifteen year hockey career finishing at the Quebec Major Junior level.
Dr. Denise Rassel attended Lansing Community College and graduated President of her class at Life University, Marietta, Georgia.
Dr. Jean-Guy's first studies were in Physical Education at McGill University and includes a Bachelors in Nutrition and Doctor of Chiropractic, graduating second in his class from Life University. He is Certified in Chiropractic Biophysics and Advanced Clinical Training Certified in Nutritional Response Testing.

Randy Randhawa, DC has been serving the greater Lansing area for over thirteen years as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Dr. Randy graduated from Portland State University in 1998 with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology. In 2001 he graduated with his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. He is a Nationally Board Certified Chiropractor.
"During my undergraduate studies I was gearing towards the pharmacy program at Oregon State University. However, my Uncle had a vision of me becoming a Chiropractor and recommended that I job shadow a family friend who was a Chiropractor. I went into his Chiropractic office at 7:00 am and four hours is all it took for me to know what I wanted to do. After experiencing the doctor/patient relationship and the power of Chiropractic, I immediately went to Western States Chiropractic College and filled out an application package. The rest is history."

I'm buying a house.
Last year around this time, I found out my rent was going up about $70/month so I went to look at some townhouses that were being built nearby. They were a little bit out of my budget comfort zone, so I didn't pursue it, but last month they called me about some incentives they were running. Next thing you know, I'm buying a house. Well, hopefully. Right now I'm waiting to hear about the mortgage. This is what it's going to look like (not precisely, because I'm getting a different door header and a single gable on the top, but you get the idea). I really need to find something creative to do to camoflauge the hideous electrical panels and whatever else that is poking out the front. Yuck. Other than that, they are actually quite attractive, and the neighborhood is great.
Since I've been renting for 6 years since my divorce, and before that I was married for 17 years, this is really the first time I will have a place of my own where I can do whatever I want. I already picked out all my "options", which was fun to do, but now that I'm thinking about the furniture and color schemes, I hope my options are going to work! Sherwin Williams has a color visualizer tool on their website, which I have been playing with a great deal because I am really excited about painting, and I recently bought some furniture, some new, and some "new to me".
I have also been all over HGTV's Rate My Space pages looking for inspiration, and I'm completely drawn to the Shabby Chic look, loads of pretty things in all white and washed-out pastels. I have 2 of Rachel Ashwell's books and I have some of her things from Target in my bedroom, but the rest of my spaces have more of a romantic country feel. By which I mean I have alot of cluttery stuff like teapots and dishes and lacy things and fringy things, but mostly in a warmer color palette.
So, I'm not going to be able to go all white, but I want to do something as romantic and pretty as the spaces I've seen. I've started searching for some interesting used stuff to fix up, and I'll post some projects as I get them completed.

How much is my home worth now?
How much has it gone up (or down) since I bought it?
Toronto's real estate market is fluid, ever-changing. One accredited property valuation technique is to extrapolate a property's original purchase price through the various marketplace fluctuations since its purchase to arrive at an indication of its current value. MLS averages over time are used to accomplish this. For example, if the MLS average in an area has gone up 10% since a property was purchased then it is reasonable to conclude that its value would be 10% higher than its purchase price. To this projected current valuation one would then add the market value of all improvements that have been made to the property since its purchase thereby arriving at an estimation of its current market value.
These averages are available for you to use at will on this site. Go to town!
Please remember that averages can be misleading. If, for example, in a particular month there were a few very highly priced sales in an area that typically has homes priced in the midrange, it could dramatically skew the averages in a manner not representative of the actual market. To counter this possibility we suggest using all of the numerous MLS averages that would be applicable for that property and are available here. For example, one might use the MLS average of the specific district in which the property is located, apply your calculations and see the projected valuation. Then go back and use the appropriate MLS average of that overall area to see what valuation it would suggest. Finally, use it again employing the GTA MLS average. Discard valuations that appear to be out of whack with the others.
Another variable is the market value of improvements that have been made. For example, one may spend $25,000 renovating a basement in a property but the market is willing to pay only $10,000 – $15,000 for a renovated basement in that area. Conversely, a main floor family room might cost $100,000 but its market value could perhaps be $150,000. Use the amount that the improvements actually cost you for this value estimation but be aware that the market may or may not be willing to pay that amount were the property offered for sale.
Finally, please realize that this is only one technique used to arrive at a property's current value and every technique has its limitations. If one perhaps paid more for a property than its true market value at the time it was purchased then to project that high purchasing sales figure to today's market would likely generate a high price that may or may not be able to be realized. This valuation technique assumes that fair market value was paid for the property when it was purchased. If you happened upon the greatest bargoon in Toronto when you bought the property then projecting that price forward would also propose an unrealistic valuation for today's market — a price that may send you into fits of despair!
We are pleased to assist you however we can. Perhaps you would like us to provide an estimate of the market value of improvements that you have made.
Another relevant valuation technique frequently used is to compare the subject property to comparable properties that have recently sold.
We can assist. Just contact me.

7 time IBMA Bass Player of the Year, Missy Raines, has put together a hot new band. In the spirit of musical influences ranging from Sam Bush and David Grisman, to Miles Davis and Bill Monroe, the New Hip bridges the musical worlds of newgrass, jazz, singer/songwriter and any others they take a notion to explore. Start with bluegrass virtuosity, add in a jazz-tinged groove and a song-driven sensibility, then dish it up with a hot band of young players. The band moves easily from fun, funky instrumentals to rich, sophisticated ballads.
Missy Raines is the most decorated bass player in the history of the International Bluegrass Music Association. A former member of the Grammy Nominated Claire Lynch Band, the acclaimed duo, Jim Hurst and Missy Raines, Missy is one of the most popular figures in the bluegrass community and a trailblazer in her field for as long as she's been playing music. Her rich pedigree in the field reaches from legends such as Mac Wiseman, Kenny Baker, Josh Graves and Eddie and Martha Adcock, to contemporary artists like Peter Rowan, Laurie Lewis, Dudley Connell and Don Rigsby. Missy also toured and recorded with the rootsy, edgy Brother Boys.

I have The Sick. Oh, it's just a cold, but I'm in the final tired-all-the-time stages of pregnancy, and I can't just sleep whenever I feel like it. I wake up six times a night and spend so much time trying to get out of bed without having an accident (really, body, why can't you wake me up to use the restroom before the contraction starts?) that I'm wide awake by the time I get back.
Grace wakes up at 8:30 or 9 and needs love and attention, and I just lie on the living room floor, feeling guilty and wishing she'd just COME over HERE, already, if she wants me to read Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? for the 46th time that day (who says stay-at-home-motherhood isn't intellectually stimulating? I have memorized no less than 14 books, cover to cover, and I've gotten waaay better at imitating animal noises, especially the sheep; my sheep is masterful). I have also developed a cough, which was to be expected. I get these nasty seal-bark coughs near the end of every cold. The last one only stuck around for a couple of days, but usually they stay for weeks. Goody!
James and I had a babysitter on Saturday. A nice couple from church came over and watched us while The Child went out boozing.
Actually, James and I went to dinner and a movie. In a freakish turn of good luck, Grace didn't even peep when we walked out the door. This is odd because when she's left with more familiar people, she screams like they're attempting to decapitate her with a dull steak knife (ten minutes after we leave, of course, she's completely forgotten she even has parents). Unfortunately, this does not mean she is finally letting go of her separation anxiety; on Monday my mom came to babysit, and The Child began freaking out before I'd even left. Good times!
So, we were going to see Sherlock Holmes. I can't stand Jude Law (I used to think he was gorgeous, but now he just grosses me out), but since Iron Man my affection for Robert Downey Jr. overshadows just about any objections I might have to his costars.
Well, we got there only to find that either the website had the movie times wrong, or James had read a "6" where there was really a "7." Our babysitters are very nice people, but we didn't they'd appreciate us showing up at 10 when we told them we'd be back around 9.
So we saw The Book of Eli instead. Still not sure what I think of it. It definitely wasn't what I expected. I think I liked it, but I'm not sure. My love for Denzel Washington and movies about the end of civilization may be coloring my opinion. I think I could watch Denzel Washington stare into a styrofoam cup for two hours straight. Anyway, if you're thinking of going to see that movie, it's not really the action-packed adventure it appears to be, and it's really violent in parts (not graphic or gory, which I hate). Just so you know.
The whole point of this post is to complain about my fellow moviegoers.
First, popcorn. I'm assuming all the popcorn is edible, so what is wrong with just taking one or two pieces off the top at a time. What compels people to DIGDIGDIGDIGDIG? Are they rats? Or puppies? And it's always during the heavy, thoughtful, quiet moments of the movie that this happens. I know this because I watch people. They sit, slack-jawed during the noisy parts, and then the minute dialogue starts again, they dive their fists into the popcorn bin with such eagerness that I assume they're trying to make up for the eating time they lost during the action.
(don't get me started on candy wrappers and boxes)
Then, the people who arrive late. I sit near the end of the aisle because I can count on one hand the number of times I've made it through an entire movie without getting up to go to the bathroom at least once. When the seats are filling up, I do understand that I'll have to pay for my choice to sit on the end. But a couple of guys arrived several minutes late at a kind of crucial point in the movie, and choose our row to sit in the middle when there were, oh, 35 others completely empty.
And THEN! Ten minutes later, a lady arrived with all their snacks. Two crinkly bags of popcorn and 43 crinkly candy boxes. She stood in front of their row to hand them off, then came around and climbed over us, AGAIN at a kind of crucial point. This would have been annoying enough if I were actually able to stand up and allow them to go past quickly. But I'm as big around as a yoga ball these days, and even if I could get up out of my seat quickly, standing up wouldn't help at all; they'd probably bounce off me and go hurtling down and over the seat in front of me.
On second thought...
Does anyone else get terribly dry skin during pregnancy? I'm not talking just itchy, dry skin. This is... weird. Freakish. Like, I think I belong in a circus. Most winters I get scaly skin, but if I exfoliate and drink lots of water and apply lotion every morning and evening, it's not so bad.
Well, this winter it's like I'm metamorphosing into Godzilla. The worst part is that I can't shave my legs in the condition they're in. And we're almost to that most delightful part of pregnancy: the weekly pelvic exam. Also known as Super Awesome Fun Time.
I know my OBs have seen in all. They probably don't even notice grotesqueries that I can't even imagine. This is totally my hangup.
But I must go to my appointments with shaved legs. This is very important to me. Because the first thing someone will notice when faced with a reptilian leg is the tiny hairs sprouting out of it.
(I did ask my OB about it at my last appointment. I was a little embarrassed; I mean, he's not a dermatologist, and seriously? dry skin? Should we call the waaaaambulance? But I think he's had this question before because he suggested some lotion with lactic acid in it. Now I just have to find the stuff.)
I got a bonus ultrasound at my last visit. High amniotic fluid. Well, it was normal this time, and she is no longer breech! Goody! Not goody: the hour every day she spends burrowing her way toward my toes.
I'd also lost a pound, so I decided to stop at McDonald's for a cheeseburger on the way home. Shut up. I did it for the baby.
The guy who took my order was really cheerful. And super nice about me delivering my order in a very confusing manner. When I pulled up to the window, I saw that he was very good-looking. Like a 17-year-old version of this guy, minus the gigantic earring:
He sincerely wished me a nice day. And smiled.
Then I got to the window to get my food, and there was another one! Cheerful! Good-looking! He, too, looked like some kind of famous person, but I can't remember who.
I had to pull ahead to wait for my fries (which were so hot they burnt my fingers, and I almost injured myself trying to snarf them down fast enough), and the girl who brought them out looked like this:
She thanked me for waited. And there was more smiling.
It was eerie.
Don't take this the wrong way. I worked food service a long time. I hated the assumption that just because I worked a job that didn't require an education, I must be surly and unhappy. But this was like Stepford.
They did forget my straw. So there is that. But I think that might have been done intentionally, just so I wouldn't suspect anything.

The Industrial Internet of Things has been heralded primarily to improve operational efficiency. But in today's environment, companies can also benefit greatly by seeing it as a tool for finding growth in unexpected opportunities.
In the future, successful companies will use the Industrial Internet of Things to capture new growth through three approaches: boost revenues by increasing production and creating new hybrid business models, exploit intelligent technologies to fuel innovation, and transform their workforce.
The Internet of Things (IoT) allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit in addition to reduced human intervention.
The term IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is often encountered in the manufacturing industries, referring to the industrial subset of the IoT. IIoT in manufacturing will likely generate so much business value that it will eventually lead to the fourth industrial revolution, so the so-called Industry 4.0. It is estimated that in the future, successful companies will be able to increase their revenue through Internet of Things by creating new business models and improving productivity, exploit analytics for innovation, and transforming the workforce. The potential of growth by implementing IIoT will generate $12 trillion of global GDP by 2030.
Industrial big data analytics plays a vital role in industrial manufacturing and asset predictive maintenance, although this is only one of many capabilities of industrial big data. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) is the core technology of industrial big data and it's an interface between the human and the cyber world. Cyber-physical systems can be designed by following the 5C (connection, conversion, cyber, cognition, configuration) architecture, and it's transforming the collected data into actionable information, and eventually interfacing with the physical assets to optimise processes.

(Urtica Urens)
Nettles grow in both cultivated and waste land. They prefer light soils and require good drainage.
Nettle is a perennial herb that can grow up to 1m in height. The leaves of the plant are heart shaped and taper to a point
They are finely toothed and deep green in color. The whole plant is covered in downy hairs. The green white flowers are small with four petals and may be found in clusters.
Recognition Tip:
Nettle leaves are highly distinctive and make plant easily identifiable. Female flowers are more dense than male, enabling gender distinction.
Time of the Year:
Nettle flowers from June to September, seeds ripen from July to October
Safety Notes:
Nettle stings are very unpleasant so wear stout gloves. If you do get sting, look for a dock leaf which will always be nearby, to rub on the sting as they will alleviate the pain.
Collection Tips:
Nettle leaves should be gathered when young and cooked first to neutralise the stings.

Health Benefits of Stinging Nettle
Some of the most important health benefits of stinging nettle include its ability to detoxify the body, improve metabolic efficiency, boost immune health, increase circulation, improve energy levels, manage menstruation, minimize menopausal symptoms, heal skin conditions, protect kidney and gallbladder health, lower inflammation, increase muscle mass, regulate hormonal activity, prevent diabetes, lower blood pressure, soothe hemorrhoids, and improve respiratory conditions.
This herbaceous flowering plant may be considered as an annoyance to many when they brush against its sharp, stinging leaves, but for thousands of years, people around the world have used stinging nettle to treat a wide variety of health conditions. The native range of stinging nettle, also known as common nettle in some places, is extensive, including Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. The plant itself is relatively small, rarely growing past five feet in height. The leaves and stems in some of the subspecies have long stinging hairs that inject an array of chemicals when touched, including histamine, formic acid, serotonin, and acetylcholine. This produces an irritating, uncomfortable sensation in the skin, which is why some of the other common names for stinging nettle are burn weed and burn nettle.
However, once you boil these stems and leaves, or extract the powerful oils, the stinging substances are neutralized and the real benefits of the plant can be enjoyed. Some cultures even make nettle soup or include it in cheese making to add some healthy boosts to their meals. Stinging nettle leaves are most commonly brewed as a tea, which captures many of the most essential health benefits, but the plant can also be applied topically in the form of an oil extract. However, be sure to combine this natural oil with carrier oils, as it can be extremely potent. As more and more research is done on stinging nettle, it is becoming even more popular, as the diverse range of its proven medicinal effects is impressive, to say the least. Now, let's take a closer look at the many health benefits of stinging nettle.
Detoxify the Body:
The wide range of beneficial nutrients found in stinging nettle make it an ideal detoxifier for the body and it has been known to gently
cleanse the body of toxins
. As a diuretic substance, stinging nettle can also ensure that those toxins being neutralized in the body are then eliminated quickly. Stinging nettle is also known as an alterative, meaning that it can improve the nutrient uptake efficiency of the gut and ensure that the digestive processes
smoothly, thereby preventing the accumulation of dangerous toxins. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to rid the body of excess toxins in the kidneys as well.
Pregnancy Aid:
Stinging nettle tea is often suggested for women who are undergoing
excessively painful labor
, and it can also help protect against excessive bleeding, as it can act as a coagulant. Furthermore, stinging nettle will help to stimulate the production of
and make lactation easier for the newborn.
Menstruation and Menopause:
Stinging nettle has a number of active components that affect feminine health. For painful premenstrual symptoms, stinging nettle can soothe cramping and bloating, while also minimizing blood flow during menstruation due to its astringent capabilities. For women
menopause, stinging nettle is also useful as it can smooth the transition and act as a restorative so the hormonal shift isn't as dramatic in the body.
combination of
vitamin C
content in stinging nettle makes it ideal for stimulating red blood cell production.
C optimizes iron uptake in the gut, while iron is a crucial component of hemoglobin. By increasing the RBC count in the body, circulation increases,
healing speeds up, and the body's extremities receive essential oxygenation to boost energy levels. For the same reason, stinging nettle is often recommended to relieve fatigue or
, which is characterized by general muscle weakness, exhaustion, cognitive difficulties, and
Kidney and Gallbladder Health:
Stinging nettle has long been known as a diuretic substance, but it also affects the kidneys in a different way. Stinging nettle has nephridic qualities, meaning that it can help to break down stones in the kidney and gallbladder, preventing those painful conditions from worsening or requiring those stones to be either passed or surgically removed. Also, as a diuretic, stinging nettle helps to eliminate toxins quickly, thereby protecting against bladder infections and excess fluid retention edema.
Anti-inflammatory Activity:
Stinging nettle is a stimulant and rubefacient substance, making it very effective against various inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis or chronic muscle pain. Research has shown that stinging nettle tea or herbal supplementation can effectively treat gout, soothe muscle pain, and reduce symptoms of
Osteoporosis and Bone Health:
Although we don't hear much about boron, it is still an important mineral element in our bodies that can be found in stinging nettle. Boron has been scientifically linked to calcium content in our bones, which means that stinging nettle can help slow the onset of osteoporosis. When you combine that effect with the hormone-regulating impact that stinging nettle has, which helps to regulate and monitor bone health as well, it seems like this herb truly can do it all.
Respiratory Issues:
Stinging nettle has also been connected to the treatment of a variety of respiratory conditions, including hay fever, asthma, and other seasonal allergies. Studies have shown that certain extract combinations from stinging nettle can significantly reduce allergic reactions in patients. Regular consumption of stinging nettle tea has been used to treat asthma in Australia for generations.
Heart Health:
It only makes sense that this amazing cure-all herb would also be able to positively affect the heart. Research has revealed that regular consumption of stinging nettle tea can help lower systolic blood pressure and relieve tension and stress on the cardiovascular system.
Prostate Health:
Prostate enlargement and cancer are both serious factors to consider as men age, but stinging nettle has proven to be an effective means of
preventing prostate growth
. However, due to the chemical pathways that this treatment takes, stinging nettle can only prevent the growth, not reverse it once the growth factor and testosterone-stimulation has occurred.
Gastrointestinal Health:
Stinging nettle extract supplements have been suggested forreducing nausea and
, and as with the menstruation and menopausal effects, stinging nettle can also soothe ulcers and hemorrhoids.
Skin Health:
When the extracts are applied to the skin, stinging nettle has been proven to reduce the severity of
and can even
bacterial infections of various types. Due to its antioxidant properties, it can also speed healing, reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes, and promote
to reduce wrinkles and
age spots
A Final Word of Warning:
While many of these health benefits seem miraculous, it is important to remember that some of these remedies for high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and menstruation can also have a flip-side. For example, if you have low blood pressure, low blood sugar, or are early in your pregnancy, stinging nettle can be dangerous. Before adding such a potent and comprehensive herbal remedy to your normal diet, be sure to consult a physician and ensure that you won't be complicating any ongoing treatments or conditions.

text: DigitalLAT FOB: Memoirs with a Twist Panel Part TwoBy Tina Dupuy|April 27, 2009 ShareBy Tina Dupuy|April 27, 2009 ShareWe've always thought Gustavo Arellano was hilarious. He was also really sweet to this shy young fan of his. We watched him with the kid pictured above. Arellano hopped off the stage to have the picture taken. "Don't ever been afraid to ask a writer you like for a photograph – we love it – at least I do." He told the kid. They snapped the pic and he shook his hand. "Do good in school!" And then bounced back to his chair right before the panel started.During the panel, Arellano said,"Orange County is the Mexican hating capital of the US." Which, we say makes his column in the OC Weekly just that much more funny. He also mentioned that it was the capital of bad shows about it (Real Housewives, The OC etc.). He made the exception for Arrested Development which he described as a "masterpiece of satire".When he was asked by the moderator if he was going to write another memoir he replied,"No, I'm only 30. I haven't live enough and I've lived the life of a nerd." The audience laughed."I'm more interested in writing history – writing history is my obsession." He told the crowd that his next book will be on the history of Mexican food in the US.Yum.Also: LAT FOB: Memoirs with a Twist Panel Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kp6tD0 copy Adweek Adweek

Kids Business Cards
Previous / Next
Although Brazil is getting more important in the worlds scenario, only 5% of brazilians speak english. How could Red Baloon, an english school for kids show the importance of english in kids future? We start by asking Red Balloon students from our 30 units in Brazil a simple question: What do you want to be when you grow up? Based on their answers, we made Kids Business Cards. Portraying kids real and unique dreams, we were able to make a point: that every dream starts with english. Kids were so proud of their cards that they handed it out to friends at their primary school, neighbourhood and family turning them into a sales force of 12 000 kids. In the end, we had more kids believing in their dreams, more parents believing in the importance of English on their kids future and a 11% raise on subscriptions.

Hamza is a 19 year old from Baqa3 Refugee Camp. He is a 1st year student at Jordan University for Science and Technology. Hamza is a hard working student, fluent in English and is very smart.
He has been selected to participate in 6th edition of the South American Business Forum (SABF), Argentina on August 6th 2010. SABF is the only international student run business conference in South America, in which 100 leaders students are brought together to discuss social and political current issues, developing ideas and possible solutions. The selection is based on the presentation of an essay related to a central topic, and this year more than 2400 students registered, 550 applications were sent with the necessary essay and only 100 students were chosen to attend the event.
Hamza was the first to be chosen from the Arab World based on his essay "The importance of students using their voice to make a difference in shaping public policy" .
Unfortunately, the SABF organization cannot provide financial aid to cover his travel expenses to and from Argentina (though the accommodation expenses are all covered).
Therefore an airplane ticket is needed which costs (1,200 JDs) before August 1.
If you or someone you know can be a sponsor then you can pass the money to me or even better if you know an airline that can get the ticket for Hamza.

Randy Jackson says a singer is peaking at the right time in the competition
The finish line is in sight – and as the final five contestants fight to be the winner of American Idol, the competition is fierce. Just like last week, the contestants brought top-notch performances, tackling classic songs from the 1960s and the British pop songbook.
No one seemed to fight harder than Hollie Cavanagh. After another appearance in the bottom last week, she delivered Wednesday with a high-energy version of Ike and Tina Turner's rock-soul rave-up "River Deep-Mountain High," which found her shimmying and shaking across the stage while wearing sky-high heels. For her second tune, she brought tender emotion to Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love."
"It was a different type of Hollie out there tonight," Jennifer Lopez said of her first song. Randy Jackson also called her this season's "dark horse," adding that her rebound was perfect timing in the competition.

Phillip Phillips, who took a risk with a Dave Matthews number last week, continued to gamble with his song choices on Wednesday, offering up a revamped version of The Box Tops' "The Letter" and an easy-going run through the Zombies' "Time of the Season." Both were relatively obscure songs compared to other contestant's choices.
Still, the judges continued to praise him for his individuality – "You Phillip Phillips'd it," said Lopez – and the crowd reserved some of the biggest cheers for the man who has emerged as this season's heartthrob. (His female fans might be disappointed: Ryan Seacrest revealed that Phillips's girlfriend was in the audience supporting him.)
Joshua Ledet and Skylar Laine also received high praise from the panel. But the only piece of criticism tonight was given to Jessica Sanchez, who avoided the bottom three last week. Jackson didn't love her version of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary," which was also performed by Ike and Tina Turner. "This performance was barely okay," he said. "You took on the biggest dragon of the night, [Tina Turner]. It didn t quite sit with me."
Still, she rebounded with her second song, Billy Preston's "You Are So Beautiful." "This girl's in the top of the leader board right now," said Jackson.
After Wednesday, it looks as if the Idol crown is still within everyone's reach.
