Let's face it: we're not even a week into 2017 and your resolutions are already waning. The good news? You're not alone. In fact, roughly 92% of people never achieve those well intended New Year's health goals. That's why in my newest video, I outline which resolutions to avoid so you're NOT part of this statistic:
I'm not saying don't make resolutions at all. It's great to take stock of your life to improve it—whether that's quitting unhealthy habits or starting new healthy ones.
I just want to set you up for success for the long-term—instead of resolutions that set you up for failure.
To review, here are the three WORST resolutions and what to do instead:
1. DON'T Join a Gym
If you don't already go to the gym, don't start. You won't stick with it if it feels like a chore. My solution to getting more exercise? I give patients a prescription to go get a dog from the pound. You'll save a dog's life and they'll save yours.
2. DON'T try to get the weight off fast
Long-term weight loss happens by developing new habits—not just trying a new diet. My motto: Weight off fast will never last. Weight off slow, you're good to go. Follow this healthy weight loss guideline: 1 pound a week, can't be beat. No more than 50 pounds per year.
3. DON'T make specific weight loss goals
"My goal is to lose 20 pounds." Great, but what then? The goal should not be "lose weight." The goal should be incorporating an activity you enjoy into your daily routine and choosing more leafy greens and less processed food. Think big! It's the journey, not the goal.
Bonus: below are three simple behaviors that can really alter your health, attitude and even help you lose weight. And they are pretty easy to do… all it requires is a little bit of practice to make them part of your daily routine.
Three habits to do for a seriously NEW you in the new year:
Attitude of Gratitude
Ever been around someone that whatever you do never seems to be enough? It's a drag. Conversely, people that are thankful for all that they have are usually pleasant and positive. Like working out, gratitude is also a muscle that needs to be 'exercised'. To do this, start your day by writing down at least 10 things your grateful for. This could be a person that's meaningful, a possession you love or even something basic—like toilet paper—that makes your life better. Did you know by being happier (this equates to gratitude) can even make your spouse healthier? True story. Appreciate what you have. It's a wonderful mindset for propagating health and well-being.
Being mindful in your every day life can have huge payoffs. A few simple ways to improve being present include: when you eat, chew slowly and pay attention to the texture and flavors of the experience; when performing menial tasks, such as doing laundry or driving to work, focus on the task at hand, observing the sights and smells of the moment; and incorporate a short meditation practice, like 5-15 minutes, where you practice being present by listening to your breath and gently dismissing rabbit trail thoughts when they arise. When you're mindful, appreciating life's simple joys comes naturally. Plus, you'll eat less (and lose weight) because you'll be in tune with your body's "I'm full" signals.
Enjoy the Ride
Carve a little time in your day—it can be five minutes or an hour, whatever works—to do something you enjoy. It can be as simple as listening to music, painting, playing with your dog, reading a good book, gardening or being in nature. Mark it on your calendar and do it every day. You'll feel more inspired to make the right health choices, such as eating better and exercising.
Happiest and healthiest new year to you and yours.
Always looking out for you,
Steven R. Gundry

I love this: Pixar's Story Rules Legofied (via Mashable).
Twelve of these rules illustrated with Lego were produced by Alex Eylar, aka ICanLegoThat and are viewable on Slackatory.
Also, we watched The LEGO Story the other night and it was unexpectedly sad. It recounts the eighty year history of the toy through the life of its creator, Ole Kirk Christiansen. It wasn't an easy life by any stretch of the imagination and at one point early on his wife says to him that at least things can't get any worse. And then she dies.
One interesting bit of trivia we picked up was that the product's name comes from the Danish phrase leg godt ("play well").

People with dry and damaged hair
Where's it from?
Mark's products are available at his salon in East Yorkshire and at Boots countrywide!
How much is it?
Usually £6.99 but it's currently 1/3 off at Boots so it's £4.66 at the moment!
What's in it?
A whole host of unpronounceable things but it does have a lot of oils in it for example Cananga Odorata (Flower) Oil and Argania Spinosa (Kernel) Oil.
What does it smell like?
Firstly, it smells amazing! The product is described as smelling like Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, Spearmint and Patchouli. It actually smells a bit like sweeties!
My mum tried it too and she said it was difficult to wash out and she felt like some residue was left. I didn't personally feel like that but my hair did feel quite soft so perhaps the shampoo leaves some oils in your hair?
It didn't have any 'wow' factor to me, it's another take on the Argan Oil trend but my hair didn't feel as good as if is actually used real Argan Oil (which I have used before).
7/10 probably won't re-purchase.

England won the Ashes series against Australia 3-0. This was their fourth win in the last five engagements against their bitter rival. England also drew level with Australia in their overall head-to-head record. Both teams have now won 31 Ashes series each.
After the presentation and other formalities were completed, England players started celebrating their win by sitting on the pitch and drinking beer. Nothing wrong with that. What better way to savour a big win than at the very scene of the triumph, that too with lager in your hand, teammates by your side and the smell of grass in the air. But according to media reports, this is where the story gets messy.
With no toilet nearby, and no doubt with judgment clouded by drink and euphoria, Kevin Pietersen, James Anderson and (of course) Stuart Broad relieved themselves on the Oval pitch, cheered on by teammates. Australian journalists still working in the press box witnessed this and reported the incident. If true, then it is indeed shameful. Granted that athletes are still kids in the big picture and that boys will be boys, but there is no doubt that urinating on a field is in poor taste. Generally Australia are considered the worst behaved athletes but England outdid them. When even Shane Warne wags a finger in disapproval, you must have done something truly naughty.
"Unfortunately the way people are judged these days, it's best to celebrate within the confines of the dressing room," Warne said. "Stay in there as long as you like, get as drunk as you like if that is what you want to do and enjoy your [time with] team-mates and the moment. But to go and disrespect something as ancient as the Oval pitch in such an unnecessary and crass way is a pretty ordinary and arrogant thing to do."

Quarterfinalists Decided in Pumping Barrels at Billabong Rio Pro
The Billabong Rio Pro, Event No. 3 of 10 on the 2012 ASP World Championship Tour, returned to the powerful beachbreak of Barra da Tijuca for the second consecutive day in three-to-five foot (1-1.5 metre) barrels which provided the ideal canvas for the world's best surfers to push the limits of high-performance beachbreak surfing.
Joel Parkinson (AUS), 31, current ASP World No. 5, rebounded after a Round 4 loss, threading the needle on two deep barrels to earn the day's highest heat total of a near-perfect 18.33 out of 20 eliminating powerhouse Jordy Smith (ZAF), 24, in the process.
"It was just one of those heats where I waited for a while and got one good one and thought 'that could be amazing, just that one wave.'" Parkinson said. "Then I got another one. Poor Jordy (Smith) really got nothing. It was a lot like home, the good ones have a really nice draw on the water off of the bank. It's really dumpy, so you air drop into it and it's hard to find a rail. Who would have thought you'd come to Brazil and get two 9s getting barreled?"
Joel Parkinson (AUS) sidelined in third place during round three.

Ruins at Rajnagar, ancient capital of Birbhum District.
Photographer: Unknown
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1870
in Dubrajpur, West Bengal from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections: India Office Series, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1870s. In the early part of the 13th century Birbhm was a Hindu state, with its capital at Rajnagar or Nagar. In the course of the century it was captured by the Pathans and formed part of the Pathan kingdom of Bengal. At the beginning of the 18th century it was a kind of military fief held under the nawabs of Murshidahad by one Asadullah Pathan, whose family had probably been its chieftains since the fall of the Pathan dynasty of Bengal in 1600. The town of Rajnagar has long since been deserted and is covered with crumbling houses, mosques and weed-choked tanks; the ancestral palace of its Rajas has fallen into ruins. The town was surrounded by a wall or entrenchment, which extended for 32 miles but this is now decaying; many of the defensive gateways and parts of the wall have been washed away by the annual rains.

Easy Tips To Reduce PimplesFriday, June 24th, 2016
For looking nice and attractive, it's not just enough to have good clothes, cute accessories and nice pair of shoes, having attractive, glowing and pimple free skin is also important. Each one of us in certain phase of life had this irritating issue of pimples and all of the always tried to hunt for the ways to reduce pimples. When we wake up in the morning, pimples are one of the most stressful things to spot and then we try this and that to reduce pimples. Pimples are ugly they are red and they are also infectious. It is very important for any person to have a clean and clear skin and get rid of pimples and find the effective tips to reduce pimples. Here are some of the ways to reduce pimples.
Keep your face clean
Cleaning your face is by far the most important tips to reduce pimples. One of the reasons of having pimples is built up of dirt and dust on your face which results in a pimple. Hence if you want to reduce pimples you must keep your face clean. Even if you are not having pimples then also washing your face frequently will improve the quality of your skin and help you remove dirt, oil and dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. While you are washing your face for reducing pimples, don't use soap every single time you wash your face. Try and use mild face cleanser this will improve quality of your skin. While washing your face, don't use warm water as instead of reducing pimples, hot water will increase your pimples. You can use warm or cold water for washing your face.
Watch your hairs
For reducing pimples, only focusing on your face is not enough and making your face oil free is not sufficient. You should make sure that along with oil free face, you should also have oil free hairs. Leaving oil overnight in your hairs will cause your face to be oily and this will increase pimples on your face. The hairs will touch your face and the dirt and oil of your hairs will touch your face and make it dirty and oil which is definitely not going to reduce pimples on your face. Also lessen the use of products like hair gel, deodorants, perfume and fragrance as they can clog your skin pores which can result in increased pimples on your face.
Apply ice
Ice is one of the most effective ways of reducing pimples from your face. Ice is such a thing which soothes your skin especially the affected area which would enable your skin to become pimple free. Applying ice on your face that too on the affected area will help you remove the dirt and oil which is trapped inside your skin and it will help to reduce pimples from your face. Put an ice cube in a cloth and rub it on your face, you can also apply crushed ice on the face.

It's time to get off the couch
But I need to do something. The inactivity is making me gain weight (7 pounds since surgery!)...that and the "being home" factor. The doctor says I am still swollen and that is the reason for the gain, and I feel that, yes. But I also feel more jiggly. Those of you who know me, now how hard I've worked over the past year and a half to lose weight, so you can maybe understand my panic.
So tomorrow is Monday. The plan is to get dressed and take a walk. I don't know how far I'll be able to go, but I don't have to rush...I can take my time, but I've got to start moving again, and walking is something that I can do. Let the training begin!
2 comments:
C'mon girl, you're more inventive than that... Just have a garage sale and SELL the couch. Don't get on it in the first place...
Oh, OK, then you'd just have to "get off the Barcalounger" (if you can get Ned off it) and, if you sold that, you'd have to get off the bed, and... forget that!
I know you'll be fine. One step at a time. Don't get "too" impatient, but then again don't lose that impatience/stubbornness, it keeps you battling.
And don't forget to find a pool to use the water as the resistance and support. you WILL recover faster if you're able to incorporate that from early on. Promise.
BTW, ever find out who MK was/is? ;-)

I hear you, but actually it's not the couch I've been on most but just sitting up in a chair at the laptop. That's the most comfortable on the body.
I would like you to know that your "comment" to my post did make me get up early this morning and go for that walk! And I feel good.
Thank you, thank you! I'm getting ready to post on it now.

Birthday Brunch at Art Is In
We were going to head over to Benny's Bistro for brunch last Sunday. There were six of us though. KG suggested that we head over to Art Is In as a Plan B. At first, I thought we might be able to wait to get a table together and if we weren't able to get one, then we'd just walk to Le Moulin de Provence or something. But after a couple of busy days at work, I just wanted to keep things simple so I changed the plans the night before. Sorry guys!
We arrived around quarter after ten. The outdoor tables were full and there weren't many tables available inside. I was unfamiliar with how it worked. It looked like people at their tables had numbers, so I assumed we had to order and pay up at the front and then find a table. There was quite a bit of a line but the line kept moving. We didn't have much time to look at the brunch menu.
I was thinking of either the french toast stack or the benny.
Luckily, the people at the table by the open garage door looked like they were just finishing. They were very friendly and had a random conversation. Apparently it was national coffee day. Good thing I had ordered a cappuccino.
While waiting, I scanned the tables to see what everyone else was eating. I had actually forgot what I had ordered once I sat down. A small table, off in the two o'clock direction, had ordered the french toast stack and I thought to myself, "Oh that looks good. Why didn't I order that?"
The egg wobbled when the plate was placed on the table. Awesome. So I had ordered the french toast stack after all! It was gorgeous to look at and was very tasty. In hindsight, I could've just opened up my wallet and checked my receipt.
VN asked for their Crispy Winniped Style Cinnamon Apple Jack. It was described to her, by the cashier, that it was a crêpe with apples. That's one hefty crêpe.
I didn't get a decent photo of KG's pancakes or J's sandwich. VN and KG both had maple butter and loved it. They were surprised how good it tasted. It definitely was not healthy. Maybe that's why it was so addictive.
G and JL both ordered the eggs benny with bacon.
Silly me. I got an almond croissant to share with VN. We didn't have any space in our stomachs to eat this during brunch.
We learned a very important lesson during our brunch. Maple butter is godly!

Many parts of Japan experience all four seasons very distinctly. There are the lush greens of summer after the rainy season, the glorious reds, yellows and oranges of autumn, snow in many regions during winter, and a spring characterized by various flowers in bloom. One place where you can get a good glimpse of all four seasons in Japan is Urasa's Bishamondo Temple, tucked away in the heart of what's often referred to as "snow country".
The temple grounds have azalea bushes that bloom in the spring, which give some wonderful pops of color. The summer months and their rain and humidity mean that the area is green as far as the eye can see. In autumn, the temple grounds are home to the the Urasa Chrysanthemum Festival, and in winter you'll struggle to even access the temple grounds on certain days because of the extreme amounts of snow.
Each season presents something unique to enjoy in this part of Japan.
Getting there
The Bishamondo Temple is approximately a five minute walk from Urasa Station, which is accessible via the Joetsu Shinkansen or the JR Joetsu local line.

Viewing the Arab nations' struggle in the post-colonial era, and seeing them in constant conflict with modernity, is distressing to those familiar with history, for this land was the hearth of human civilization.
A vast majority of Arabs live in illiberal societies. These societies lack the guaranteed human rights, civil rights, and access to services fundamental to the success of Europe, North America, and much of East Asia excluding China. Some Arab nations have powerful governments with a clear structure that provides the country with the rule of law, even if the rulers are oppressive. Yet some Arab countries even lack the governmental framework necessary to provide the rule of law, resulting in chaos and all too often, violence.
One Arab country has stood apart from its neighbors. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is the most liberal Arab country. While it is an imperfect liberalism, Jordanians enjoy more freedoms and basic rights than their Arab counterparts.
It is important not to give Jordan too much credit. Jordan's King Abdullah II puts on a good show for the Western world. With his easy smile, he wears suits, not the traditional desert garments other Arab royals wear. He has been a guest on the "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" multiple times, and is famous for his love of Star Trek. While still a prince, he made an appearance on an episode of a "Star Trek: Voyager" episode. It is easy to be taken in by the seemingly westernized king. It is easy to assume that such a king would be an enlightened ruler and be a liberalizing force for good in his country. To some extent this assumption is accurate, for Jordan is the most liberal of the Arab countries. Yet this is a low bar and Jordan has a long way to go before achieving true liberalism. Freedom House ranked Jordan as "not free," political rights and civil liberties are highly restricted, and the press is not free. Jordan is not a democracy. Instead it is a near absolute monarchy with a powerful executive branch and weak legislative branch.
Despite these strikes against it, Jordan is a model, albeit an imperfect model, for liberalization in the Arab world. The World Bank classifies Jordan as an "upper-middle income" country. For a country with essentially no natural resources like Jordan, this is a major achievement and is a sign of a strong and well-functioning civil society. Unlike the oil-rich Arab nations, Jordan has had to develop a viable economy. The World Bank has praised the government's efforts in education.
Jordan has developed what the World Bank describes as a "knowledge-based economy" with a solid research and development infrastructure. Women enjoy a high level of "gender parity" in Jordan, something unusual for the region. Jordan has been especially successful in the medical field. The Kingdom has a large medical tourism industry that generates over $1 billion per year in revenue.
A strong civil society and an educated middle class are needed to begin the process of liberalization. While dictators, King Abdullah II and his father King Hussein deserve credit for planting the seeds of liberalism.

IKEA Installs An Apartment In Paris Subway Station
The latest campaign from the Swedish furniture giant highlights the flexibility of their designs in small spaces, by creating a cozy dwelling in the Auber metro station where five people will live for six days.
From January 9th to the 14th frequenters of the Auber metro station in France's capital, will get a glimpse into the daily routines of five of their fellow Parisians. For six days, this IKEA "apartment" will be the home of these individuals. The fully furnished space was developed by creative agency Ubi Bene to highlight how IKEA furniture is compatible with small spaces. The project is called "The IKEA Apartment – 54 Square-Meter Ideas to Life," and is not the first time IKEA has made its presence known in the Parisian metro. In 2010 metro stations St. Lazare, Champs-Elysées Clémenceau, Concorde, and Opéra were furnished with sofas and lamps for two weeks.

Eric Smith is a geek. I know this because we've been Twitter-friends for a couple years now, and I've seen him tweet about such nerdy topics as video games, their systems, movies, books, and just about anything else. If it's geeky, chances are he's had an opinion about it.
Thus, it's PERFECT that his first book, which releases today, is THE GEEK'S GUIDE TO DATING, via Quirk Books (for whom he's also Media Guy Extraordinaire).
I had a chance to read GEEK'S GUIDE prior to its release today, and let me tell you - it made me giggle.
Now look, I'm not on the market. I'm happily married, and am not planning on being on the market ever again. But still...this book was funny and charming and it was wholly entertaining to see myself (and my husband, ahem) represented in this new and quirky and funny way.
In my house, we're geeks, for sure. Charles is a Comic Book Fan, a Gamer, and an Internet Geek, at least according to Eric's definitions. I, on the other hand, am a Social Media Geek and a Book Geek. We're both Politics Geeks and Apple Geeks. So...there's common ground. Who knew?
The book is full of pop culture references - most of which I knew, but some of which had me completely baffled. I guess I'm not quite as much of a geek as I thought. So while you're reading the advice of one (not so) single (anymore, I think) nerd to another, you'll be kept on your toes with references to Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Magic The Gathering, and just about anything else in Geekdom. There are even Doctor Who references! *swoon*
It's also adorable, visually speaking. Old video game graphics, all pixelated and fun, deck the pages and make you smile. It's the kind of book you love to hold and leaf through, you know?
As for the advice itself...well, again, I'm decidedly not single, and I haven't been single in many, MANY moons, so I can't say if it's good advice or not. I mean, it seems pretty solid (like: don't stare creepily at a girl before asking her out at your local comic book shop), don't get me wrong. As for the effectiveness...well, you'll have to give it a shot for yourself.
(Also, the advice is mostly tailored for those of you with a Y chromosome - yes, men, you - and though Eric argues it's mostly universal...ladies, don't listen to his fashion advice!!)
So. Do you want a laugh, at yourself or your geek-ish friends? Do you want to learn how to dress like Han Solo for your hot first date? And do you want to pick up that hot chick/dude at your local indie bookstore? Go there and 0ick up this book, now.
And since I'm nice and it's Eric's book birthday, let's celebrate with a giveaway!! I'll send my beautiful copy of THE GEEK'S GUIDE TO DATING to a fellow nerd who needs a leg up on the dating scene. All you have to do is leave a comment, tell me why you want it, and make me laugh. Assuming people play, I'll pick my favorite one!! So, ready...set...GO! Why do YOU need THE GEEK'S GUIDE TO DATING? (Must be in the US or Canada to play.)

Unless you opt for a fanless setup, it's inevitable that your PC is going to emit some kind of noise from the fans spinning inside. The level of that noise depends on how good your fans are and how fast they are having to spin to keep heat levels at an acceptable level. If you're an overclocker, you are probably used to a loud whirring sound coming from your machine.
Quiet cooling manufacturer Noctua has decided it can reduce the noise levels of its fans significantly by employing some tech we are most used to seeing on expensive headphones. The company has teamed up with noise reduction specialists RotoSub to incorporate active noise cancellation into a PC fan.
The reduction in noise levels is significant as can be heard in the video above. It works by modifying the already quiet Noctua NF-F12 FocusedFlow fan to use a microphone, signal processor, and magnets in the fan blades.
The microphone hears the sound produced by the fan. The signal processor then creates a sound wave with the same amplitude, but with an inverted phase to the original sound. At this point a speaker is usually required to output that anti-sound and cancel out the noise. RotoSub's solution does not require a speaker though, instead using the fan itself to generate the anti-sound.
RotoSub claims that its system can reduce noise levels by up to 25 decibels on an 80mm fan. Seeing as the Noctua NF-F12 fan is so quiet anyway, you should be hard pressed to hear any noise coming from your case with one of these new fitted on your CPU.
There's still up to 18 months of development work before this silent fan will come to market. In that time Noctua hopes to cut the noise levels further and increase airflow. The additional components, including the microphone and signal processor, are expected to be integrated into a heatsink rather than the fan itself.
When it is released, expect to pay around $50 for a complete CPU cooling solution.

Names and surnames can often become a matter of joke, especially if you move to a different country or a culture. Something that is quite respectable in one language can be an abusive word in other. Like for instance, the word 'Randi' means to respectfully say 'please come' in Telugu but the same word is offensive in Hindi. This can happen to Indian names abroad or vice versa.
It is better if those who are really sensitive should not move to places where their names or surnames can have offensive meanings.
- If you have a surname 'Dikshit' seeing people pronounce it as 'Dick Shit' is really hard to let go but either don't move out of India and if you do don't give a damn on how people pronounce it.
- The famous American actor John Lund would have never understood why Indians laugh at his name if he has come to India.
- The Non-Executive Chairman of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team should be really thankful to the almighty that he was not living in India.
- The expert in leading high-performance sales teams Lisa Mah chut should be happy staying in Sydney. If in India she would be the centre of all jokes in a boardroom without even understanding why.
- Mrs Zuckerberg could only get respite in Andhra…anywhere in the north of India and God help her.
- Does Ben know that the Indian subcontinent remembers him thousands of times in a day?
- What a perfect name!!! Bas Dost….will he ever understand if his Indian friends are calling him or stopping him from doing anything.
- Ellen will always be pitiable in India…after all her name says 'Bechari.'
- What a surname 'SAALE'!!! Poor thing he will not understand why are people grinning while calling out to him.

One of the things I love most about my blogging journey has been the opportunity to learn about all these different brands that I hadn't known about before. I was contacted by Icebreaker asking if I could spread the word about their Heritage T-Shirt Contest and to try out a product.
Icebreaker is a 20-year-old New Zealand brand that pioneered merino wool apparel for the outdoor industry. Their high-performance sportswear is a favorite among Mt. Everest climbers, sailing professionals, and top tier explorers.
To celebrate their 20th anniversary, Icebreaker is hosting a T-shirt contest from March 14-31 where participants vote for their favorite Icebreaker print from the last 20 years, which also enters them for a weekly prize and one grand prize. Ultimately, the prints with the highest votes will be available in stores in May.
My favourite is Beech (the tree). Want to vote and be entered to win prizes? CLICK HERE
I asked for the Womens Hike Lite Socks and the Rush Sports Bra. I've never had speciality socks before and I certainly have never owned a $70 sports bra! I'm really excited to put them to the test out on a hike and I'll share my thoughts with you all when I do!
Disclaimer: This post was to promote the Heritage Contest in exchange for my choice of gear to try out. My thoughts and opinions are, as always, my own.

kera sumbang5.10.12
why people always judge the others like they know that people for many years?
i talk about this because i'd done the same thing too..
but, when i realized, this is a BAD HABIT that people need to throw it from their mind..
maybe a little suspicious can be accept to protect ourselves.
we always judge people through the first impression..
sometimes what we saw is not their own true selves..
people always act in different way when they with strangers..
so, to get through it, we need to befriend with them..
if not, don't you ever judge them!
in my case, my classmates judge me as KERA SUMBANG!
it's a lie if i say i'm not angry with them..
but, it's a useless thing if i do it..
so, i just need to be pity with these peoples..
coz, i don't get any points..
you know what, those people called me like that are peoples that I'd talk with..
as i know, kera sumbang means a people that don't want to be involved in community.. they just want to do their own job and ignore the people around him/her..
gosh.. please la..
you guys don't know about my life..
so, pity to you guys coz talk rubbish about me..
want to get angry with me? just go on..
i rather to be kera sumbang than befriend with the person that always to take benefit to others..
please live like a human guys coz for Allah all humans are the same..
either you rich, poor, older, younger, there's no point you are higher than me for Allah..

Remember and review the cardiac events as you listen. S2 is created when the ventricles relax and pressure from the aorta and pulmonary arteries exceeds the ventricular pressures. As a result the Aortic and Pulmonic valves close. Occasionally there is slight splitting of S2 especially during inspiration. If S2 is Widely split or Fixed (as this case demonstrates) it indicates disease.
Once you have the split S2 mastered, go on to the next case.

Shaving Cream for Women: Which Should You Use?
Your email has been successfully sent to the recipient.
There are a lot of shaving creams and shaving gels out there. But which is the best shaving cream for women? What should you use if you have sensitive skin? What about dry skin? How often should you use shaving cream anyway? We're here to answer these questions and help you find the women's shaving cream that works for you.
If you want to get clean and smooth…
Women's shaving cream is designed to hydrate your skin and prep it for shaving. Before you apply the shaving gel, you typically need to wash your skin with body cleanser. Did you know you can do both at the same time? Satin Care Vanilla Cashmere with a Touch of Olay is perfect for those who want to simplify their bathing routine without scrimping on cleanliness or hydration. This two-in-one cream gently cleanses and moisturises while you shave!
If you have sensitive skin…
When shaving sensitive skin, you should to be careful in your selection of skin prep supplies. Generally, but especially if you have sensitive skin, it's important to choose a shaving gel or cream that is free of irritants to keep your skin nice and smooth. Satin Care Sensitive Skin Shave Gel is perfect for skin that needs a little extra TLC. Pair it with our best razor for sensitive skin, Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor, to help protect your skin and promote touchably smooth skin.
If you have dry skin…
Some shaving products can dry out your skin – especially if it's prone to dryness already. If you're skin gets desert dry, try using Satin Care Dry Skin Shave Gel. It's made with glycerin, which helps the skin attract and retain its own natural moisture, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
If you want a scent-sational experience…
The best part of shaving cream for women is the fun scents. Sure, you can use men's shaving cream, but then you end up smelling like them. Drench yourself in a refreshing aroma by choosing a scent that fits your style. For example, choose Satin Care Violet Swirl with a Touch of Olay for a more relaxing experience and Satin Care Vanilla Cashmere with a Touch of Olay for a more inspired one.
If you want extra moisture…
Sometimes, our skin needs a little more love than usual. For days when your skin needs more moisture, try shaving with Satin Care Violet Swirl with a Touch of Olay. Its advanced formula has a powerful kick of moisture designed to envelop your skin in hydration.
If you need more time…
Many women skip shaving gel altogether because they don't have time or don't realise how important it is to the shaving process. If you are one of those women, you, too, can take care of your skin without changing your routine. The Venus & Olay Razor in Sugarberry has built-in moisture bars that release light body butter as you shave, so you can skip the shaving cream without actually skipping it. Your skin will thank you!Now you know the ins and outs of shaving cream. Have you found the one fit for your needs? Feel free to try different types to find the perfect fit. Whatever your situation, there's a Venus shaving gel for you.

text: A controversy has erupted over alleged deployment of a government medical team at the venue of the marriage of the son of Chhattisgarh Home Minister Ramsewak Paikra here. The image of the order copy, purportedly issued by the office of the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO), Raipur district, on June 15, has gone viral on social media. Raising the issue, the Congress said such a deployment is unethical. "How government doctors and medical staff can be deployed during the marriage of the home minister's son? It's wrong and unethical," state unit Congress president Bhupesh Baghel tweeted today along with the image of the order's copy. It is the violation of the code of conduct for government employees and a disciplinary action should be taken against the CMHO for issuing such an order, the Congress said in a statement. The purported order states that as per the information provided by the special secretary to the minister, the latter's son Lavkesh Paikra's marriage function is to be held at a city hotel on June 18. It further states that a five-member medical team will remain deployed at the marriage and reception venue from\u00a08 pm\u00a0till completion of the ceremony, for emergency services. When contacted, Raipur CMHO Dr SK Shandilya denied that the medical team was deployed at the wedding. "The order was issued for the constitution of a medical team and not for its deployment at the venue of the wedding function," the CMHO told PTI. Also watch: Keeping in view the marriage of the minister's son, a medical team was formed to handle any medical emergency if need be, he clarified. "There is no question of deploying the medical team at the wedding venue," he added. Repeated attempts to contact Ramsewak Paikra proved futile as he was busy in the marriage.

Lost Landmarks exhibit seeks to keep historic homes
- Details
- Cliff Newell
- Lake Oswego Review - News
Beauty, historical significance or even a spot in the National Register of Historic Places is no guarantee that a building will not be torn down and demolished forever.
That is why Marylou Colver is taking a do-it-yourself approach to preserving historic buildings in Lake Oswego, and one of those ways is the Lost Landmarks exhibit now at the Oswego Heritage House.
'We want to focus our community on preserving our architectural heritage,' Colver said. 'I saw what the National Trust for Historic Preservation is doing, but I wanted to take it a step further. With this exhibit, I wanted to explain the significance of the homes that have been lost.'
Colver has great stock in this project. Not only is she the director of the Lake Oswego Historic Home Tour, but she is also chairperson of the board on the Oswego Heritage Council.
Still, anyone with a spark of interest in the history of this community will experience a sense of loss when viewing the photos in the exhibit and seeing the designation beside them in red: Lost.
Lake Oswego is historic and was founded nine years before Oregon became a state.
'Lake Oswego has a lot of history that people don't realize,' Colver said. 'People think of Lake Oswego as new and glitzy, but it was platted in 1850.'
Why do people tear down beautiful historic buildings?
'Because they can,' Colver said. 'Because they own it.'
'Some people move here and they have no connection to the community,' said Nancy Headlee, director of the Oswego Heritage House. 'All they see is an old house. It doesn't matter if the houses were big or not. One of them was 5,000 square feet.'
So, the walls at the Heritage House now display about 15 photos and histories of houses that no longer exist.
Still, Lost Landmarks is sobering but not sad. That is because some of the great structures of the past are being preserved. These get the designation 'Saved' in blue indicated on the exhibit panels.
'We have some success stories,' Colver said, 'including this one (the Oswego Heritage House). It's not all depressing. There's also the Miner's Cottage and the Worthington House.'
After all, the Oswego Heritage Council was started in 1970 because the late Mary Goodall, a civic activist, tried to preserve the Irving House - the 1877 mansion built by soap tycoon Robert James Irving. It was considered the finest example of Carpenter Gothic architecture in Oregon. But Goodall's effort failed, and the Irving House is now the site of the Mountain Park Shopping Center. However, it was a milestone for historic preservation in Lake Oswego.
The Lost Landmarks exhibit came about through the work of Colver, Erin O'Rourke-Meadors, Corinna Campbell Sack and Suzanna Campbell Kuo - touring the city, gathering the photos, writing history and designing the exhibit.
Their objective with the exhibit is to get historic homes placed on the City of Lake Oswego's Landmark Designation List, because it decreases the chances they will be torn down, they said.
'That is why it is so important to get homes on the city list,' Colver said. 'That's why we have the (historic home) tour every year.'
'That is what gives the tour its purpose,' Headlee said. 'It changes the homeowner's or the public's view. There have been 20 plaques put up. Maybe it stops, or makes people pause, from tearing down these buildings.'
The exhibit concludes with a 'Take Action' panel which offers suggestions on what people can do to help; things like putting their own home on the city's Landmarks Designation List.
The Lost Landmarks exhibit will continue at the Oswego Heritage House through at least October.
For more information, go to the Web site www.oswegoheritage.org under the 'Exhibits' category.
The Oswego Heritage House is located at 398 10th St. in Lake Oswego.

Carolyn has her feet connected to the earth, and her heart connected
to the heavens. She was one of the first Reiki Masters in the
US and now has reintroduced Zimbate after a centuries-long absence.
My experience is that both forms are effective and work wonderfully
together - and Carolyns healing energy works regardless of the
method employed.
15 years ago, Carolyn helped to keep my body and spirit healthy
as I was going through chemotherapy. Together, we were able to
clear any residue of the cancer from my body. And, contrary to
the expectations of my medical doctors, I conceived and birthed
a beautiful baby girl while staying perfectly healthy.
As a teacher and a healer, Carolyn connects with me so effortlessly
and on a such deep level that nothing seems more natural. I think
it is because Carolyn embodies a confidence in the energy that
moves through her - and it never attaches to her ego. Her intention
is one of love. Come see her; you will feel better.
Carolyn, I am grateful!
~ Love, Theresa
At 62 years old, I have
had way to much experience with doctors and surgeries. The last
three surgeries were to remove half of my stomach, replace my
left knee and remove throat cancer, which included radiation
treatments. A most difficult time for both my physical body and
mental state, enough I would say! There were three teams of Doctors
all of whom were good, Carolyn was part of each team working
to get me through these surgeries. My recoveries have been fast,
easy and complete on all of them, and I credit Carolyn and her
Zimbate treatments before, during and after the surgeries for
a big part of the successes. Being prepared mentally and physically
is probably the number one path to a proper recovery.
~ Dan
Carolyn is a gentle and inspirational teacher.
Classes are lively and life-changing. Zimbate is safe, powerful
and quick. It can be done anywhere, requires no prior experience,
no equipment, no beliefs. I use it mainly on everyday aches and
pains and minor illness. It continues to surprise me.
~ Sandra Smith
Zimbate provides the template for healing
work. It is the focal point, white light, from which all energy
emanates. It is the horsepower which amps up any practices one
has experienced and used before. Zimbate is transformative and
when used with pure and positive intention, it is as much a modern
conduit for ones own personal growth, as it is an ancient path
for the spiritual healing of others.

Fear Is Not Bad
NOTE: It is PEFECTLY NORMAL AND HEALTHY to feel a MOMENT of
fear you person springs backwards onto your hands!
Then, you must perform ALL that elegantly, beautifully & in such a way so as to allow you to KEEP moving into additional tumbling skills like another back-handspring, or back-tuck. Anyway you look at it, the back-handspring requires VERY careful preparation and LOTS of practice.Now, to compound all that... if you make a mistake, it's quite possible to severely injure yourself.
So all you tumblers out there that are feeling FEAR, congratulate yourself.It means your brain is alert and your instincts are working correctly. HOWEVER, your fear should not STOP you from tumbling. It should GUIDE you to SEEK more knowledge and experience. Let the fear INSPIRE you to BE WISE and use COMMON SENSE. Fear should ALERT you to OBSERVE the risks you are incurring and to discern effective ways to PROTECT YOURSELF.
With enough knowledge about HOW TO DO a safe, strong and beautiful back-handspring
you should easily FACE your fear with COURAGE. If you are armed with
sufficient UNDERSTANDING about proper habits of motion, positions, timing,
coordination and abundant muscular STRENGTH, you'll move PAST your fears
into confidence.
Thanks for writing Tina,
It is a scary thing to see some one badly hurt, whether in the gym, or outside. Any athletic activity has the potential for severe injury. As fun as gymnastics:tumbling can be, it comes with REAL risks that must be RECOGNIZED and HONORED by participants. The human body DOES have physical limitations. An important part of growing up is learning to recognize those limits with as little damage as possible.
Because of its rich diversity of motions & dynamics gymnastics:tumbling CAN be an excellent choice of activities for SAFELY learning those limits.
Gymnastic: tumbling is an integral part of human culture. Kids have always, and will always, perform acrobatic activities in the gym, in the house, in the yard, on grass, on concrete, everywhere. With all the cheerleaders on football fields, acrobats on stage, martial artist in the studio and untold millions of us playing in the yard & the house only a small fraction of us have received proper instructions for safe skill execution.
And, unfortunately, to an unaware tumbler, what SEEMS like an "improvement" can actually be a disastrous error. For example, running FASTER is NOT the way to improve a round-off, except for specific rare instances with highly experienced tumblers. Because it feels more dynamic & thrilling, it may feel NATURAL to do many things like RUNNING FASTER into tumbling skills. With each increase in SPEED and POWER, all aspects of a skill become exaggerated. That means minor errors become MAJOR errors. So, unless the body is well prepared, coordinated, attuned, & the skill is truly WELL FORMED, such seemingly natural changes like "running faster" can DRAMATICALLY INCREASE the risk of severe injury. The problem is, many experienced instructors will wrongly encourage students to run faster into tumbling skills. It's a shame.
One of my primary motivations for making the "BETTER BACK-HANDSPRINGS" video was to insure that the fundamental elements of WELL-FORMED tumbling activities are available to ANYONE who can watch TV. Simple lessons (that are NOT, however, generally known) can GREATLY enhance safety and provide tumblers with a STRONG CONFIDENCE in their abilities.
For example, here is one of those SECRETS:Encourage tumblers to HABITUALLY
EXTEND their arms, close together, straight up above the head
... before, during AND after EVERY handstand, cartwheel, walkover and
handspring. This position of holding the arms close together (NARROW)
reduces the chance of injuries to the wrists when supporting the body.
Arms held straight OVER HEAD (rather than down by the sides or straight
out in front) provides MAXIMUM protection to the head and neck.

Modern Day Equivalent Of Goons With Clubs
"CHICAGO — Union workers say someone turned on the heat lamps in blazing hot broad daylight Thursday, as they walked a picket line in front of the Park Hyatt Hotel.
As WBBM Newsradio 780's Mike Krauser reports, workers at Hyatt Hotels in nine cities are walking picket lines Thursday, trying to pressure the hotel into coming to an agreement on a new contract.
The Park Hyatt at 800 N. Michigan Ave. was among the hotels where picketing was held, and at some point Thursday morning, someone turned on the outdoor heat lamps that are usually used in winter.
Combined with the outdoor air temperature, Linda Long says it was hotter than the Hyatt kitchen she's worked in for eleven years.
"They put the heat lamps on us, like we were nothing," Long said. "If the heat didn't kill us, the heat lamps would."
The heat lamps were turned off when the press showed up."

CARY, N.C., (PRWEB) July 08, 2016
Samanage, a SaaS service management company, announced today the addition of new product features to drive better user experience across its service management platform, giving customers more opportunities to customize, enhance, and automate business processes. The new product features include email customizations, additional reporting capabilities, a new native iOS application and a new workflow engine that strengthens its service catalog solution.
"As the role of IT changes within an organization, business systems and a sole focus on technology are a thing of the past," said Steve Stover, VP of Product Management at Samanage. "Developing new ways to integrate technology components into business processes and giving users the tools they need is critical not only to the success of IT, but the entire organization. Samanage prides itself on listening to customer feedback and implementing what will be most impactful to the user experience, as quickly as possible."
With a deep understanding that metrics are a critical factor to the success of IT and many departments organization-wide, Samanage enhanced reporting capabilities to give users the ability to better visualize and customize their reports and dashboards. Additional visual chart capabilities now provides users with greater visibility into service desk performance across the enterprise, and can be customized with new pie and line charts as well as a better way to configure and schedule reports. Expanded flexibility and deeper granularity increases user efficiency and effectiveness with reporting for incident throughput, time tracking, filtering, new chart types, time and date ranges, and reporting on custom fields.
Each update improves service management operations, allowing Samanage users to better see, measure, share, and continuously improve their IT organization and become strategic enterprise leaders. Some of the key highlights of other recent upgrades are:
- New workflow engine and user experience - The new workflow powers the Samanage Service Catalog solution and greatly simplifies the process of creating and editing service catalog items. These changes facilitate editing an existing workflow rather than having to start from scratch. The new workflow engine provides a platform to implement upcoming changes, making Samanage more flexible and enabling future functionality and capabilities with greater speed and efficiency. The Samanage Service Catalog solution does not require any professional services to implement and configure.
- Email customizations - Updated personalization helps drive adoption by service requesters and increases productivity and usability. This feature can be used to modify all system generated and service related emails that align with corporate branding and usage guidelines.
- Native iOS application - Enables administrators and agents with increased visibility into their service interactions, allowing them to stay in touch with their service requesters using their mobile devices. The native iOS application is an addition to the existing native Android application.

Skrtic proposes that schools evolve into problem-solving organizations where the fundamental structure of the classroom is replaced with more flexible structures that are more adhocratic in nature or focused on problem solving – organizations in which educators customize programs for individual students. For Skrtic, in a problem solving school, disability becomes an opportunity to innovate and improve. "Regardless of its causes and its extent, student disability is not a liability in a problem-solving organization; it is an asset, an enduring uncertainty, and thus the driving force behind innovation, growth and knowledge." (Effective Inclusive Schools, 2012, Thomas Hehir and Lauren Katzman)Summer is quickly coming to an end and it is time to start thinking about another school year. My job is different this year as the students who are on my case load will begin at their age-appropriate schools this fall. Rather than being in one classroom in one school, they are going to be in several classrooms at three different schools. The elementary students that I have now have had general education classroom primary placements for either 2 or 3 years and we are now looking to continue this approach as two of them move on to Junior high. This will obviously present a whole new set of challenges as they will need to learn to navigate a much larger world then what they now know. The high school students that I have will be moving full time to our division high school. With them we are not looking to continue, but rather to begin, and our beginning steps will probably be little ones.
It would perhaps makes sense at this point to lay out how I see this all evolving... to give a picture of what this might look like at the end. But the reality is that this has kind of taken on a life of it's own and it is not solely mine to create. Over the past two years I've become very aware that this is not about planning and executing every step we take. There are too many factors that will bounce off of each other but, more important, there are too many experts that we have not yet identified.
Last year, I peeked in on the gym class that one of my students was in. They were playing dodge ball and this was a student who becomes overwhelmed with noise and business. When we operated from a self-contained approach, he would go and join his grade for gym class but never participate. He would sit on the side of the room, turn his back to the craziness and "stim" to drown things out. This past year, his primary placement became that of being with his grade level peers and he was able to be in the classroom during subjects like math and language arts when the classroom is calmer. He was able to get his sea legs and start to build some relationships with the students around him.
That day when I went in to gym class, I was surprised to see him in the middle of a game of dodge ball! I stayed to watch for a bit and realized that a group of his peers had brought him in to the game but not only had they brought him in to the game, they were protecting him from being hit by the ball by forming a sort of wall around him while they continued to play the game. And then I noticed one of them hand him a ball so that he could throw it.
I went back a few days later to see him playing floor hockey. This time there was not a group around him but as the puck came towards him there was a pause to see if he would hit it. When he didn't, the game continued. They were not slowing the pace of the game down but rather just either knowingly or unknowingly giving him enough time that he would be able to hit the puck if he so choose.
We can't write stuff like this in to a plan. As nice as it would be for us to be able to make an inclusion plan and follow it step by step and see these students included in the end, sometimes not having too defined of a plan is the best plan because it leaves room for people to step in and be part of the plan.
As we sit on the edge of a new year with a whole lot of new adventures ahead, I am excited to see what we can build.

You all knew someone from the school would be there, but who really expected HIM?
Also, this page sort of addresses a bit of a pet peeve of mine; notably, in panels 2 and 3. Video games haven't been a "boy's only" hobby… um, ever. Yes, the average video game player is male, but not all of them. So, possibly because I AM a girl gamer, it rubs me the wrong way when guys act like it NEVER happens. Like, "Oh you're a girl? You'd probably be bored by this then." Believe it or not, I've even had people ask if I'd stop gaming after I transitioned! I guess, because girls don't do that, so if I'm a girl, I have to stop. Sometimes, I just don't know. -_-
And yeah, the Yuu Us. Comes out in a couple days, you know. It's December in Rain continuity though, so it's already been out for a month there. That said, if the original Yuu's launch was any indication, I doubt Yuu Us' really THIS so accessible three days before Christmas. ;P
Rain, all characters and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to me.
And now to bombard you with obnoxious links! Go here to order a copy of Rain - Volume 1 today! And then here to vote for "Rain" on TopWebComics!
Hmm... I'm a girl gamer, have been since Super Mario days. But I gotta say, I've always agreed with the masses that more boys game than girls. It's never upset me when people say that, just makes me feel special. I'm one of the few.
Rand M. Guy from their school works at GameSnob.
That's freaking hilarious!
Also, holla at my fellow gamer girls.
I am a gamer girl, but I do not play video games. My games all run on dice, paper, junk food, and soda. (actually have an even gender split in the group currently). I tried video games when I was little, but I did not have the attention span for them.
I am most definitely a girl gamer, I prefer rpg games to platformers(get bored of these easily) or first person shooters(its very rare to find an interesting fps so I've only played about 2 of these my favourite being Dirge of cereberus). My mum and all my sisters are also gamers, in fact the only non gamer in my family is my dad so when i hear people say that girls don't game i just laugh.
Love the comic so far keep up the good work :)
edit: what really annoys me is when some girls claim they are gamers when the only games they have ever played are Wii fit or nintendogs, it gives the actual girl gamers a bad name so we are never taken seriously.
@Guest: Right? I mean, I'll settle for a good platformer every now and then, but my favorite pastime is playing World of Tanks with my boyfriend. Girl Gamers exist! :D
@LittleLynn84: Blame the great video game crash of '83. When companies decided to relaunch the market, consoles were moved from the Electronics aisle to the toy aisle. And because you had to pick a side, boy or girl, they went with "boy".
Yet another reason why de-gendering the toy aisles is a good move. A pity it wasn't done a LOT sooner...
I know several people that worked at a video game store. There is an even number of girl gamers to guy gamers out there. The problem is that "Guy games" are stuff like Grand Theif Auto, and Mortal Kombat. And the "Girl Games" are all named Barbie something or other. And while MMO's like Warcrath and Diablo market to both, few people openly announce their genders online just to save from being harrassed by other players.
On an unlreated note. Yeah. Randy plays important part in the story finally.
Now we just need a sudden realization or unexpected occurrence and a can of soda, and luckily we have the first one in the form of rudy/ruby doing anything at all ever
