The Moms Cancer Fighting Angels team is holding a Touch-a-Truck event at the Saugus Fuddruckers to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
More than 30 vehicles will set up outside of the Fuddruckers at 900 Broadway on Sunday, May 20 from noon to 3 p.m.
Vehicles participating in the free Touch-a-Truck event include those from the Saugus Police Department, Saugus Fire Department, Agganis Construction, Aggregate Industries, Arbor Tree, National Grid and others.
The Route 1 Riders will provide a number of classic cars for visitors to check out.
Anyone is welcome to come down to Touch-a-Truck sit behind the wheel of these vehicles, organizer Guy Moley said.
Saugus police officers will conduct a K-9 demonstration as well as a child car seat safety clinic.
The Lynn Tech robotics department will be on scene with a basketball launcher students built for kids.
Home Depot of Saugus will send a team to do a kids workshop and Masks by Design will donate time to perform free face painting.
Moms Cancer Fighting Angels will generate money for the American Cancer Society largely through raffles at the Touch-a-Truck fundraiser.
Fuddruckers will also contribute 20 percent of food sales collected during the Moms Cancer Fighting Angels fundraiser on May 20 to the American Cancer Society, Moley said.
The Touch-a-Truck fundraiser is the brainchild of Moms Cancer Fighting Angels, which is one of the teams taking part in the Wakefield Relay for Life on June 15-16 at Northeast Metro Regional Vocational High School at 100 Hemlock Road in Wakefield.
Moley, a Saugus native who works at the Saugus Housing Authority, serves as the team captain for Moms Cancer Fighting Angels. He established the team as a way to honor his mother Irene Comeau, who died of esophageal cancer a decade ago.
"We did it as a tribute to my mom as a way to honor her," Moley said.
This will be the eighth consecutive Relay for Life that Moms Cancer Fighting Angels participates in — including the last four years in Wakefield.
Relay for Life is a major fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Donations made through the thousands of Relay for Life events held across the globe are used to support cancer research, patient care services and prevention initiatives.
Teams typically seek out sponsors to make donations for each Relay for Life lap that is completed and that money is then given to the American Cancer Society. People also donated luminaria, which are lit and dedicated in remembrance of a life touched by cancer.
At the Wakefield Relay for Life members of Moms Cancer Fighting Angels will take turns walking around the track. At least one team member will be walking for the duration of the two-day event.
"It shows that we won't stop in taking the fight to cancer," Moley said. "We walk to honor people who are fighting cancer, people who are survivors and people who lost their battle against cancer."
Moms Cancer Fighting Angels raised more than $10,000 at last year's Wakefield Relay for Life, which Moley said was the most of all the teams participating in the event.
At 9 years old, Alexis Joy Comeau was the top fundraiser on the team.
"We'd like to go a little higher this year, maybe get to $11,000," Moley said.
Moley encouraged people to check out a Relay for Life event in the area to get involved.

Microsoft Launches Private Bus Service- Windows Included
Microsoft has introduced a 14 bus fleet to keep employees happy, out of bumper-to-bumper traffic, and reduce air pollution and traffic congestion. "It is a great corporate decision to take a look at where the transportation system isn't meeting the needs of your commuters and fill in the gaps," said John Resha, general manager of the Urban Mobility Group, "The system we've got can't evolve quickly enough." Companies shouldn't have to to this; public transit should. "This is something that the county bus system should be doing and they're not," said Stephen Gerritson, executive director for Commuter Challenge, a Seattle non-profit.
Like Google, Microsoft's offices are in the suburbs, so both companies have to spend money bringing transit to them, rather than locating where the transit is in the first place. Dumb move for such smart people.
Of course the buses will have wireless internet and windows. ::Seattlepi

color switch
every couple of months, i make a new folder of images. i would sort of describe it as a mood board folder: there are images from pretty much everything that i visit. blog posts, illustrators' portfolios, tumblr, cargo, etc. i link this folder to my screen saver, so every time i leave my computer i come back to these images floating and folding on my screen. it's like a moving inspiration board... sorta.
colors are nice. i've been drawn to more pale colors recently. i like the way they complement more vivid colors. composition is nice too. i've always been drawn to simple shapes.
the pictures and illustrations complement each other. they work together to create a new thing and are great pieces of art because of that. i think that all good art is like that. it can be associated to other pieces and other artists regardless of style or medium.
i like art like that.
happy friday

The White Sox have begun every year gunning for the AL Central crown for so long, that to do otherwise seems like a crisis of conscience. An unthinkable concession. Their chances for contention are slim this season, but if they're actually admitting it, good God, they may lose 100.
Or at least that's the concern that might pop up upon seeing the headline "Konerko: Sox can be successful without making the playoffs".
Instead what follows was a traditional Konerko mix of dry rationalism, and muted enthusiasm. As the headline itself demonstrates, taking a snippet of Paulie's spiel serves only provide a pointedness that isn't there.
"I don't know why there always has to be a declaration on 'This is what we're doing as a team, we're trying to win this year.' It doesn't really matter. You listen to the staff, you take their words on what they want to see you do and you run with it, and then you add it all together and see at the end and hopefully it's good."
"There's a lot of 'ifs,' " Konerko said. "But again I don't think you have to sit there and say, 'We're trying to win, we're trying to rebuild.' Who knows. Cleveland last year, not that they won the division, but all in all I think it was a very successful year. Cleveland just came in looking to see what they had. But I think this year, this team is different than a lot of teams we've had recently.
"I hope I don't throw anybody off with this, but this can be a very successful year without making the playoffs."
The sentiment is pretty simple; as players, the members of the White Sox can only follow instructions and perform to the best of their abilities and hope for the best. At the same time, they're not dumb as rocks, and can recognize the direction that the organization is going in, which isn't so much dependent on "winning now" as making a positive strides, rebuilding the talent pool, etc.
Still, it's the captain of the team being somewhat ambivalent about the larger goal of the 2012 season, which is an interesting speed bump for a new manager to deal with.
"Yeah, I know what he meant. He's talking about the expectations from the outside — of us being young and not even being in contention. If we play well and play good team baseball it can be, but we're obviously looking for more than just that. I guess the way he's looking at it, I get what he's saying."
Do you want everyone in the clubhouse looking at it that same way?
"No, he's looking at it matter-of-factly. But he wants more than that too. Sometimes there's nothing more you can do about it. He wants to win too, but I get what he's saying."
Robin tries to re-direct Konerko's comments as more addressing the outside expectations, while making sure to reiterate the easy-to-lose notion that the team goal is to win the division.
The way Ventura directly responds "No", when asked if he'd appreciate others speaking in this manner would seem to indicate disapproval--and I can't imagine he's thrilled--but he's also acknowledging that there's a difference between Paul Konerko--the longest-tenured player on the team--assessing the larger direction of the franchise in blunt terms, and say, Dayan Viciedo doing it.
But it doesn't even seem like the concept is taboo across the franchise. Even VP of Marketing Brooks Boyer--a man professionally motivated to provide an optimistic view of the on field product--was willing to acknowledge the point in his conference call with White Sox bloggers Tuesday:
"If you look at, if the Tigers win 110 games, and we don't make it to the playoffs; the development of some of the young players, and the maturity that comes with a new coaching staff working with some of the younger players to bring them along may put us in the position to be better as we move forward in our quest to get back on top. That's my sense of what [Konerko] is trying to say."
So there's a general consensus here that the White Sox have a goal to win the division, but realize that there's a real possibility that they could be outclassed, even if everything does break their way. With that acknowledged, there are still positive steps for the organization to take, especially in the wake of last season, besides just collecting the blessed playoff revenues.
And who could disagree with that assessment? This is something pretty much every White Sox blog of regard readily acknowledges, and Konerko's earlier, less controversial statement regarding last year's team "giving away games" due to distractions, is a prime example of one way this could happen.
There's always a call for teams and players to be more honest, (though the veracity of those claims could always be questioned) so there's certainly a refreshing quality to some realism encroaching into the White Sox party line, even if one could argue that they're still in outer space trying to pull off this rebuild-without-rebuilding.
The question is whether some acceptance of limitation, of less-than-optimal results, is deleterious to the team on some level. Is accepting something less than playoff glory is not promoting "a culture of winning"? These are concepts that make a lot of us outside observers groan, but are nonetheless repeatedly brought up by players and coaches as important to have properly set.
But whatever that is, the White Sox haven't had it in a while, and ramping up the expectations and pressure certainly didn't coax the best habits out of this group in 2011. A mature, rational approach to the season deserves a spin as much as anything else does.

An App that Calculates the Most Beautiful Route
Those of us obsessed with the navigation and mapping powers of route-calculating apps will soon have more aesthetically-minded options for finding a route across town, thanks to the work of Daniele Quercia and friends at Yahoo Labs in Barcelona, Spain. An article in the MIT Technology Review explains that Quercia and team "have worked out how to measure the 'beauty' of specific locations within cities and then designed an algorithm that automatically chooses a route between two locations in a way that maximizes the beauty along it. 'The goal of this work is to automatically suggest routes that are not only short but also emotionally pleasant,' they say."
The team used a number of methods to collect data on which places in London are more, shall we say, fetching. First there was crowdsourcing via public opinion: "Quercia and co begin by creating a database of images of various parts of the center of London taken from Google Street View and Geograph, both of which have reasonably consistent standards of images. They then crowdsourced opinions about the beauty of each location using a website called UrbanGems.org." (StreetSeen is a similar system for crowd sourcing public reaction to cityscapes.)
The second involved scraping data from photo sharing sites like Flickr: "Crowdsourcing opinion for every possible location in a city is clearly a time-consuming and potentially expensive business. So Quercia and co have automated this process using photos from Flickr and the data and tags attached to them," and, "[factors] that turn out to be a good indicator of beauty are things like the number of pictures taken of a particular scene and comments associated with positive emotions."
As for choosing the more beautiful route, it might just take a little longer: "Quercia and co say that on average these routes turn out to be just 12 percent longer than the shortest routes, which makes them reasonable alternatives for a pedestrian."

On first play with the iPad app, this reviewer was excited to note that editing playlists was a joy. Like other iOS apps, you can choose to edit the line up, which gives you the option to 'unlock' and then delete playlists as you see fit. Easy peasy and a prime opportunity for a playlist spring clean.
Although your existing folders are there to browse through, it doesn't seem that you can add playlists into folders or create new ones, which is a shame because organising playlists like this on the desktop app is a real pain. That's a minor point though, so don't let it put you off.
Given the focus on discovering music, the process for subscribing to and creating playlists has been made really easy. It's really a one-tap process once you've found the playlist or song you're after. Although long-time iPad users may instinctively want to drag and drop songs but Spotify has deemed tapping a more intuitive control mechanism.
As with the iPhone app, you can sync playlists to the tablet to listen to offline by toggling the offline sync control. We synced 14 songs over Wi-Fi at extreme quality and it took only a few minutes.
The good news is that anyone upgrading from the old iOS app to the new iPad app will retain their synced playlists. Hurrah.
The iPad app is geared more towards music discovery, so some real thought's gone into the search function. Results start to populate as you type, with the best match hoiked up to the top of the screen, before sections for artists, albums, playlists and tracks, with artists and songs already in your library prioritised above others.
It's a nice change from the annoying tabbed layout of the search function in the iPhone screen, and being able to browse relevant playlists (as you can in the desktop app) is a really welcome addition.

Bartok has been a staple of the Takacs Quartet's repertory for decades. The group's affinity for his music was evident again during a superb evening at Alice Tully Hall on Saturday.
The concert was the first of three in which the ensemble is pairing Bartok's six String Quartets with Beethoven's Opus 18 Quartets. The program began with Bartok's first work in the genre, written when he was experiencing unrequited love for a student at the Budapest Academy of Music.
The haunting opening fugue, played here with plaintive yearning, echoes the poignant fugue from the Opus 131 Quartet by Beethoven, a major influence on Bartok. Completed in 1909, when Bartok was in his late 20s, this quartet is one of his first mature works, revealing the influence of folk song, Debussy and Ravel.
The cello theme in the Introduzione was richly illuminated by Andras Fejer. He and the violinist Karoly Schranz — the quartet's Hungarian members, who have been with the ensemble since its founding in Budapest in 1975 — studied Bartok's music with the violinist Zoltan Szekely, to whom Bartok dedicated his Second Violin Concerto. The other two Takacs members are Edward Dusinberre, violinist, and Geraldine Walther, violist.
The ensemble's rendition of Beethoven's Quartet in D (Op. 18, No. 3) was notable for its sharply etched phrasing, poise and nuanced details. The burnished, glowing tone applied in the first half of the program became grittier for Bartok's String Quartet No. 4, which concluded the concert. The players performed this startling piece with humor and warmth, their sense of spontaneity never detracting from a rigorously defined structure.
Bartok was greatly influenced by local folk traditions, which he carefully researched on trips to the countryside and integrated into his own works. The Takacs Quartet played the slashing figures of the concluding Allegro molto with striking force. The strange pizzicatos in the fourth movement were delivered with such witty vehemence that the audience broke into spontaneous applause and laughter afterward.Continue reading the main story

This will no doubt be a very emotionally difficult holiday season, and most everyone will not be able to afford to buy whatever they did in better financial times.
Holidays are often felt as celebrations requiring plenty of food, decorations and presents to make it special and fun. From Thanksgiving through Christmas stores will be providing tons of temptations with sales and kids doing their usual "PLEASE, can I have that?" The guilt from whatever you feel you have not gotten for your child (time with you, having more fun with them, past items you couldn't buy) may propel you further to desire buying more than you can afford.

10 Tricks to Stop the Dreaded Question- Are We There Yet?/
I used to laugh when the kids on TV would get in the car then almost immediately ask, "Are we there yet?" I used to- now I totally sympathize with the parents. It can be quite frustrating when kids show little patience, however, it can be understandable (I'm ready to be at our destination too). How do you keep your kids busy in the car so they don't ask the dreaded question? And how do it without electronics?
1. Mad Libs
Mad Libs are pretty awesome. They are especially great once your kids understand what nouns and adverbs are but still doable without that knowledge. Take turns being the person who writes down all the nouns, verbs, and more then have fun laughing together! There is nothing like laughter to break the tension in the car. You can find free Mad-libs on Pinterest or head over to Amazon to grab a few books. Tired of Mad Libs? Try the Would You Rather Card game- it makes for some great conversations!
2. ABC Game
There are a couple of ways to play the ABC game. I grew up playing where each person had to find letters outside of the car for each letter of the alphabet in order (no using the same letter as the other people in the car). The first person to finish wins! For example, I see a billboard with the phrase, "Don't Drink and Drive" I shout out "D and E." You can also take turns finding objects that start with the letters so Mom finds an Arrow and daughter finds a Balloon, etc. Or you can just go through the alphabet saying words that begin with the next letter: Dad starts with Alligator, son says Baboon, daughters says Circus, etc. Try playing this version to a beat and if you skip a beat, that person is out. Either way you play, it's great practice and fun. Bonus: no supplies needed!
3. Storytelling
There are lots of fun ways to do this one as well. My favorite is when one person is the referee (great job for the driver). The referee chooses who is telling the story and when he has to stop. When the referee says "Stop" the storyteller must stop immediately- no finishing the sentence! The next person has to pick up right away. You can also play this game by saying one sentence only at a time and in alphabetical order. For example, Dad has to start with A- "Apple trees were blooming but the ogre wasn't happy." Mom has to do a sentence that starts with B- "Bananas made ogre happy, not apples." You can also try saying just one word and seeing where in the world the story goes. Tend to get stumped? Grab a stack of Disney Apple to Apple Cards. Pick cards and weave the characters, settings, and plots into the story as you go. You can make it more challenging by handing everyone 5 cards and seeing who can use up all their cards first.
4. Sing Songs
Choose silly songs, religious songs, songs from movies, or even play Name that Tune. Be sure it is a song that you can live with in your head for the rest of the day though! Camp style songs are great for car rides. Need some new tunes? Make a playlist using Amazon Prime Music and download them to your phone before you go.
5. Car Bingo
There are all kinds of these all over Pinterest, like this simple one. If you laminate the boards or put them in a plastic sleeve, you can use them over and over. Dry erase markers work best on these but any washable marker will do. This set of 4 Auto Bingo boards though are a favorite because you don't have to worry about loses markers- you slide the shutter cards over the space instead. They are really handy. The winner of the game gets to pick the radio station or be the first one out of the car at the next stop. You can adapt Bingo boards to fit any area you travel by broadening the definition, like instead of a fire truck, you can count any emergency vehicle. Try this really fun way to play Bingo too.
6. Find an Object
Pick an object that everyone understands and see who can find it first. The winner gets to pick the next object we find or if it's the last stretch, try giving out nickels and dimes to the winners. This game is really great if you need help spotting your hotel or a restaurant for lunch. You can also pick a general category like red cars and see who can find the most.
7. Share Some Jokes!
Laughter is the key to a successful road trip! Here's one of my favorite jokes from my daughters:
Who's there?
You who?
Yoo-hoo. Big summer blow-out.
Yep, it's from "Frozen." Here are some others:
How do you make a lemon drop? Hold it then let it go.
What person can jump higher than a house? Anyone! A house can't jump.
What's brown and sticky? A stick
What happens when you throw a green rock in a red sea? It gets wet.
What does a pirate pay for corn? A Bucc-an-eer
Why is it dangerous to tell jokes when you're skating? Because the ice might crack up
How do you get down from an elephant? You don't- you get down from a duck!
Looking for more jokes? This Laugh-Out-Loud Jokes for Kids book kept our family entertained for a while.
8. Sleeping Lions (aka The Quiet Game)
Pretending to be lions apparently makes this game lots more fun. The object of the game is to be last one to wake up. The parents can tell jokes or say, "Hey, look at that!" to try to get the lions to wake up. Making noise or opening your eyes disqualifies you, however, the eye part can be hard to enforce if you are the driver so try to get them to laugh!
9. I Spy
Don't you love games that don't require supplies? The down side? There really is only so many things that you can choose from that will still be there a moment later. When you start using things inside the car, not everyone can see it so that doesn't work great either. If you get creative though, it can be fun and it is good game especially for those quick trips.
10. Maps
Give everyone a map with landmarks circled so they know exactly where you are and how much further to go. This works well when we are driving across town too. Try the National Geographic Kids Ultimate US Road Trip Atlas- it has facts about every state and a map. Kids love knowing where they are going and the whole plan of how to get there. If I don't have the correct map- I give my sons a zoo map that I keep in the car. It occupies them while they plot out their next trip to the zoo or they pretend to see animals along the way. Try keeping one in your card.
BONUS- Coloring
With all the great adult coloring pages these days, coloring can keep your older kids happy for hours. These are my favorite LDS coloring pages but Amazon also has great adult books like Enchanted Forest. My kids love using colored pencils and gel pens.
Be sure to check this Road Trip Adventure in a Box from The Dating Divas too. It's full of more games and activities for traveling with the whole family or just you and your spouse.
And of course the best tip of all is making sure you are going someplace fun! Get Away Today has all kinds of great family friendly packages for you. They can help you get the best deal to have the most fun. Book your vacation through them today (use code SCRATCHNSNIFF for a discount on certain vacations).

If you have leftover candy canes from Christmas, you could try this little idea that I did as a gift for friends this year.
Inspired by a social media post, I thought I would try out candy cane spoons – mostly because I have some silicon spoon moulds that I had never used.
I started by smashing up those red and white peppermints – similar to candy canes and to be honest, I didn't even think about saving the hassle of finding these mints and used candy canes instead!!
Pour the crumbs into the moulds – this will be very sticky and pop in the oven at 150C and allow them to melt. I cannot stress how vital it is to keep and eye on this stage as I forgot on my first attempt and ended up with a bubbling, sugary mess. You may need to top up after the first melt, as the candies can pack down a bit.
Once you're happy with the thickness of your spoons and they're completely cool, carefully remove them from the moulds.
Whilst the spoons are cooling, melt some chocolate – of your choice – in a double broiler with a touch of butter and fill some baby fairy cake cases with the chocolate. Dip your spoons into the chocolate, just far enough for them to stand up unaided.
Get them in cellophane bags as soon as possible, otherwise the spoons will become tacky. And there you go, peppermint hot chocolate/coffee stirrers.

To the editor:
Last week I sent a letter to you voicing my opinion in favor of the Lowe's project. Within that letter, I stated that I had sent several letters to the Lake and Valley Clarion that were not published. My letters were sent to the address noted in the Clarion's e-mail site as firstname.lastname@example.com. Upon sending those letters, I received no "bounceback" reply that they did not go through and did not receive any subsequent e-mail stating that I used an invalid e-mail address.
Thus, I made what I believe to be a reasonable assumption that the letters were received by the Clarion.
Apparently, my assumption was incorrect. Based on recent information that I have received, the Clarion denies receiving such letters. Therefore, I apologize to Mr. Corrin Strong and the Clarion for making what I thought was a reasonable assumption. My intent was not to harm Mr. Strong or his newspaper but rather to simply support the Lowe's project. My apologies.

hey beautiful people,
for sure, we are not "dressing up" every day for a special occasion! But
fashion is a method of self-expression. With every outfit, you give a
statement. For me, fashion is important – that's why I make it a priority in
my life. Even in my daily life. But there, I keep it chic and simple. That's
why I start a new series on my blog. I call it "less is more" looks. It will
show you how to dress-up for living! It starts with colored printed Ankara
pants and a white crop top …
Less is more looks:
Sooo yesterday I headed out to the streets had to meet a friend who
wanted me to design and sew a new top for her. While we were talking, we had
this idea about the "less is more" looks! So I asked my friend to take some
pictures of the style I had so I can share it with you. The pictures are
pretty simple, but I sort of feel that they receive you better because it
just shows me as a normal, everyday girl who likes to "play" dress-up for a
Printed Ankara pants with white crop top
I think, red colored printed Ankara pants and a white crop top are an
amazing combination yea? It's a great outfit formula to have in your
arsenal. I complement this look with white high heels to give it another
highlight. Yes, the outfit is really simple. The Ankara leggings are the
eye-catcher which make the look. By the way, I sew the crop top myself …
Hope you like it … *smile
Keep your style simple
I kept the top simple and accented with white high heels in the same
color. Thereby, the leggings are given priority. The outfit stands for
itself. So there is no need for earrings or any further accessories.
Ankara = African style
By the way, do you know that Ankara style is very popular all over the
world? Yes, its true. Famous designers use Ankara to give there fashion a
highlight. And all over the world, Ankara fashion is known as African
fashion. I think we can be proud of that important part Ankara is playing in
world fashion. I think I will do some extra articles that will deal with
Ankara looks. What do you think?
Ok, so with colored printed Ankara leggings in your wardrobe, you always
have pants with a good option to combine it. As you see, the outfit isn't
over the top but yet very stylish. The Ankara pants gives it that African
feel and brings it home. So ladies next time you wanna wear that cute crop
top of yours you might want to pair it with a chic pair of pants! We don't
want to look trashy and remember less is more! *winks
Keep dressing up
A final thing at the end you always have to remember: If you feel like
dressing up as there would be the party of the year – DO IT. There is no
overdressing in the world - look your best at all times if you want to. What
would the world do without birds of paradise like us? It would be a sad
place, right? We are here to make the world look a little bit more beautiful
*smile – yes, smile to the world and it will smile back! You never know who
you'll run into … imagine the man of your dreams and you don't look fabulous
– you will regret the rest of your life … haha.
What I want to show you with my article "less is more" is that dressing chic
is not a question of money or time you spend in the bathroom for makeup and

Turmeric otherwise called curcuma is the golden yellow brown spice has been a part of Indian civilization so long as no one can remember. But why is it been with us? Taste alone would be an incomplete answer as, it has been used as a home remedial measure for cuts or burns, internal injuries, and also in for many purposes. It has been an ingredient in Indian, Persian, and Thai and Malaya dishes. In some places its leaves are used to wrap and cook food. It has great cosmetic value and is used also as sunscreens. In gardening it is used to deter the ants. Turmeric has a peppery, warm and bitter flavour and a mild fragrance slightly reminiscent of orange and ginger. In most of North Indian parts it plays a significant role in the marriage ceremony.
Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant and has a tough brown skin and a deep orange flesh. It is a perennial rhizomatous annual shrub, with rhizome underground and leaves that can come up to 30-40 cm long. Its fruit is oval shaped with deep yellow pulp and begins flowering in the rainy season. Throughout the history has been used as a condiment, natural healer and textile dye. Its golden orange colour yielded it the name, the "Indian Saffron". It's popularly believed that turmeric was used in cooking for its detoxify properties to neutralise any toxins if present in the food preparation.
Turmeric the yellow orange polyphenol has a peculiar odour and taste like more of ginger. It has an active ingredient called Curcumin flavanoid which is responsible for the colour of turmeric. It has volatile oils that are turmenone, atlantone and zingiberone also. Other than this turmeric have vitamin A, resin, protein, and carbohydrates..
Turmeric is a bright yellow-coloured spice made by grinding the dried roots of the Curcuma longa, a plant and member of the ginger family. Turmeric is truly one of the marvellous medicinal spices in the world. Its been extensively used since centuries, as an ingredient in cooking. Its popularly believed that turmeric was used in cooking for its detox properties to neutralise any toxins if present in the food preparation.
Particularly popular in India, turmeric has been used for more than 4,000 years as a crucial ingredient to many of the country's traditional dishes and as a remedy to treat various illnesses.
In traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda), turmeric is commonly used as a treatment for external medical issues such as burns, insect stings and bruises, as well as internally as a remedy for gastrointestinal problems, arthritis and various inflammatory illnesses.
The goodness of Turmeric has been hailed since long by practitioners of Ayurveda. With this as one more added benefit of Turmeric, the value of the spice even goes higher! Not only is Turmeric a natural product but is also easy to use in day to day lives. Chronic cholangiopathies have no known effective treatments and in most cases liver transplant is the only option. In view of such complications, Turmeric and its benefits are indeed a boon.

The Continuity Garden
For more than 30 years I have carried out countless bereavement visits and funerals as part of everyday pastoral ministry. I have been moved, humbled, challenged and sometimes deeply disturbed by people's response to dying, death and questions of eternity.
These days the sharpness of my own response is honed each morning as the face that stares blearily out from the bathroom mirror reminds me that the fresh faced youth I was once is a somewhat distant memory. Whenever I walk the cliff top path near my home I am intrigued and, if I am to be honest, sometimes irked by the impromptu shines of fading flowers, balloons and other memorabilia tied to benches and bushes in honour of people long dead but clearly not forgotten.
Today I find that I am no longer able to brush off hearty, well meant speculations about the geography and activity of heaven as harmless wishful thinking - 'Old Bill will be up there now tending God's vegetable plot '....or, 'little Grace will be playing happily with all the other small children who went to be with Jesus prior to reaching double figures on Earth ...' - without yearning for a better and more honest way of dealing with these issues.
At the same time, the increasingly popular stance of some Christians and non-believers alike that this life is all that there is and nothing lies beyond seems inadequate and absurd. An intuitive sense of human purpose and the testimony of Christian understanding and experience propel me in the direction of finding a language with which to speak of death and eternity with conviction and not embarrassment, and without the need to request that hearers suspend rational thought for this topic of conversation. Where this pursuit is taking me is into the realisation that in this territory where so little can be known, to say less speculatively is actually to say more helpfully.
When my mother died two years ago I felt no strong need to retain many physical mementos of her life or of the family home that my parents had shaped for nearly 60 years. What I did feel moved to conserve were some token elements from the garden. It was only ever an ordinary suburban back garden and yet it was populated with so many memories - of the games we had played there as children, of plants and shrubs which had arrived as gifts or cuttings or 'thank yous' for some kindness shown, and of the last mortal remains of both parents, rescued from the bleak sterility of a crematorium and interred discretely amongst the roots of a favourite tree. On our last visit to the house before it was to be sold I hastily dug up some late Autumn remnants. At home in Lowestoft I planted these unpromising specimens in a part of our garden recently laid waste by building work.
Winter passed and with the coming of Spring I added some bought plants and enjoyed watching that one time piece of waste ground as tentatively it brought structure, colour and vitality into the garden. It was clear to me that this was not a memorial, nor a vague mystical link to those who had gone before so much as a simple, wholesome declaration that continuity is a principle which underpins, informs and sustains human life and, indeed, the whole of Creation. In this I realised that I was merely mirroring my Mother's own approach to garden design which was to cultivate a living presence of people, places and events through serendipitous acquisitions over the course of her life.
Earlier this year my mother-in-law died and to the patch of ground were added a number of sculptures which she had created or owned. As these sculptures blended with the plants the label 'continuity garden' became yet more established, as way of describing both that re-claimed space and my understanding of these profound issues.
I have never doubted the resurrection stories of Jesus, not because I find the idea of a corpse resuming normal life easily credible in any rational sense, but because that is not quite the tale the gospel writers tell. If we read what the stories actually say we encounter a Jesus who is both tangibly present with his friends and yet significantly changed.
A theme common to virtually all the resurrection appearances is that Jesus is at first unrecognised but then known through his voice, the way he breaks bread, and the sustaining provision he makes for others. The gospel writers offer little if any detail about his physical appearance. Perhaps those details were not known. More importantly, those details were not relevant to the gospel writers' intention of proclaiming through the risen Christ the continuity of God's purposeful presence.
I write this as the cycle of seasons has left far behind the vigorous flowering of Summer. The foliage has mostly died back, the sculptures are coming out of hiding and the continuity garden has embarked upon a time of unobtrusive preparation for next year, and the year beyond that, and on and on ....
I've just planted some springtime bulbs and as I straighten up, my Mother's trowel held loosely in my hand, I almost catch a voice saying 'I hope you're going to clean that trowel before you put it away!'

Planning to build your tech career in 2017? You may want to consider a few high-demand fields that are positioned to take off this year. We're profiling careers to watch, along with everything you need to get started.
Quick Stats
There's one clear reason that we're watching Cybersecurity careers in 2017- demand for jobs like cybersecurity specialist and information security analyst has completely taken off in recent years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in information security are expected to grow 37% by 2022- much faster than most careers. Hot areas for growth are security analytics / SIEM (10%); threat intelligence (10% +); mobile security (18%); and cloud security (50%).
Why all the momentum? It has to do with the way software is changing business. More and more sectors are quickly becoming mobile and web-based, from banking to retail to healthcare. As networks become broader they become more vulnerable, and hackers get more sophisticated.
If your skillset includes strategy and problem-solving, it could pay to learn cybersecurity. The field offers a chance to do hands-on, exciting work with room for lots of growth, leadership, and creativity.
Cybersecurity is not just for those who already have an engineering degree. Thanks to post-collegiate training programs, many employers are hiring less-traditional candidates for entry-level cybersecurity jobs. The high demand also means that employers are becoming more and more interested in bootcamp grads. For those looking to make a switch into cybersecurity in 2017, we're put outlined a roadmap to get you started:
1. Learn The Basics. Not sure if Cybersecurity is for you? Try it out with these courses:
Udemy Introduction to Cybersecurity
Free Online Cyber Security Courses (MOOCs)
Coursera: Cybersecurity Fundamentals
2. Research Bootcamps. A cybersecurity bootcamp can give you all the skills to either transition into cybersecurity from software engineering, or land an entry-level cybersecurity job. Take a look at the full list here and check out the following:
Evolve Security Academy
SecureSet Academy
Cyber Retraining Academy
Sabio Cyber Security Immersive Training
3. Choose A Career Path.There is a huge amount of room to grow in cybersecurity, so it's a good idea to have an understanding of your long-term career goals. Take a look at a few career options post-bootcamp:
Cybersecurity Analyst: Entry-level cybersecurity professionals will likely start out as a cybersecurity analyst or information security analyst. You'll be responsible for protecting a company's computer networks and systems by pinpointing risks and weaknesses. The role will continue to evolve with the company, as new products bring the potential for new cyber attacks. Entry- Level Cybersecurity Analyst salary: $70,500
Security Engineer: While Security Analysts try to find weaknesses in the system, a Security Engineer is concerned with building fool-proof security systems. This is more of a mid-level position, for those with some experience under their belts. Average Security Engineer salary: $93,653
Security Architect: A Security Architect is more of a senior position, and often leads a team. The job involves designing, building, and overseeing complex network and computer security at a high level, and making sure everything works without a hitch. Average Security Architect salary: $127,000

Once you have decided your most important roles, it's time to make time for them!
I know this is tricky. It seems there is never enough time.
When I was first learning to Leverage My Time, my twin toddlers had just gone from two naps a day to one. Losing that extra two hours a day was already sending me spinning! I could hardly find time to shower! But my new goals were important to me. Joy from living at my full potential was important to me. It was time to control my time, not allowing my time (or lack of time) to control me.
I looked at my calendar and realized I could find time. But I might have to sacrifice something for it.
I love my sleep. I went years and years as a sleep deprived mom. We just got the boys to start sleeping through the night regularly. But I realized if I woke up one hour before I had to get my daughter up for school I could shower, get dressed and maybe—just maybe—put on makeup.
If I woke up two hours early. I could study my scriptures, do some yoga and make time for my role as a "Work-from-home-MOM."
It was a plan. Six A.M would come early but I knew time was my resource. My solution? I gave myself a bedtime. Eleven p.m. lights out. No more late nights working in peace and quiet. Accomplishing my goals would require a better use of the time in my day. If I woke up early, I could leverage more time.
Even though I loved the quiet late hours, it was not good for me or my children when I went without sleep.

walkthrough, 2009
multi-channel audio/video installation with mirrors
From an existing film entitled 3-iron (2004, dir. Kim, Gi-duk), a few moments of entering and exiting empty homes are extracted for this installation. The character who comes in and out of the frame has been masked with solid black, creating only a silhouette of movement. The movement illustrates the transient moment between reality (outside of the filmic space) and fictional reality (filmic space). This blurring of two spaces is re-enforced by viewer's own shadow, mimicking the character's silhouette, as she walks around the installation space.

Horsepower Maximus - "At My Signal, Unleash Hell"
By Don Terrill (c) - www.RacingSecrets.com
Russell Crowe's character in the opening scene of the movie Gladiator wins the battle by heavily stacking the deck in his favor via an overwhelming force. We should do the same.
I've written in the past about the failings of incrementalism - a method of improving by making small changes on a regular basis. It may be the easiest and most affordable path, but it won't help you distance yourself from the rest of the field - because, they're moving at the same slow pace.
From this day forward, I challenge you to think big and always push for the decisive victory.
(1) Fender Swelling Cubic Inch
If you're not traction limited and there are no rules limiting or punishing more cubic inches, go for it - build the largest engine ever used for your type of racing. Heck, put a second engine in the trunk if you want.
(2) Massive Organic Airflow
Your heads flow over 500 cfm? Yawn...no one cares. Why not shoot for a number so high, it's never even been considered before?
(3) Ear Splitting RPM
HP = RPM x Torque / 5252. So, the higher RPM, the more the HP. The catch? You need to be able to feed the engine enough air to sustain the Torque numbers at higher RPMs. Formula 1's 19,000 RPM should be viewed as idling.
(4) Gasket Bursting Compression
Compression Ratio = (D + PV + DC + G + CC) / (PV + DC + G + CC). D = Cubic Inches per cylinder and is above the division line in the formula, so any increase in engine size will lead to higher compression. To reach the limit of your combination, make a mold of your combustion chamber and send it to your piston company to have domes made that perfectly match your heads.
(5) Spring Killing Valve Lift
Some of you will remember when .700 inches of lift was a lot. Today the number is higher, but nothing groundbreaking has happened in the last five decades. How about coming up with a head that flows at 2.0 inches of valve lift and then designing a cam to take advantage of it?
(6) Ginormous Blowers and Turbos
Creating massive organic airflow is not enough, we need to "cheat" and force as much air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber as possible. We could throw a 6-71 blower or a single turbo charger on the engine, but where's the big thinking?
(7) Fire Hose Fed Nitrous Oxide
A 250 HP nitrous kit? You've got to be kidding me. We want more, much more.
To decide if you're thinking big enough, ask...
- Has it never been done before?
- Does it seem impossible?
- Will people call me crazy?
Ok, so I know some of the above is crazy and won't work, but I'm just trying to get you, my racing brothers and sisters, to think big and remember...
What we do in life echoes in eternity.

The fundamental basic rule to run a business is to be professional at all times. This could be managing staff, getting information, broadening network and certainly being sensitive to the needs of patrons. The preschool franchise is already an established name in the market and hence it is essential to follow the guidelines set by the institution to upkeep the professionalism.
Management of preschool franchise is also a basic tenet while running a preschool successfully. The location must be accessible. A trust worthy van facility and adherence to timings is very important here. Feasible field trips and conveying time lines to parents is a very essential part of management. Schools do have a lot of functions and dress code which is to diarize individually in the child's book. An informal PTA session in the beginning of the year is a good way to communicate rules, happenings and interests about the preschool. Franchise opportunities are surely worth as the brand name is secured.
Manpower management is vital here. Absenteeism when related to staff in terms of helpers and teachers must be dealt well and back up requirements must be fulfilled so that children are able to get the attention they are privileged too. All craft items and materials must be mentioned as per syllabus and surely it is essential to have a standard system in place. Reporting to higher management or franchise as per the deal in the contract is essential so that the reputation is maintained
For the smooth functioning of any business a stock register is important to keep track of the recent usage and order for items of materials that are low in quantity. This is also essential to maintain the continuity of curriculum and avoid chaos in the classroom. Giving time for the child to settle down is surely a big quality to be looked up as the key quality of the teacher is patience. Recruitment must be well compensated with industry based salary.
It is good to go in for ready formats for communication with parents. A fill up form conveys professionalism and changes if any must be clearly communicated. All advertisements and allied activities of the preschool franchise with related to regular preschool or summer camps must be justified with proper adherence to quality standards. Usage of space of the preschool franchise must have all safety measures.

Laser Hair Removal
Virtually Pain Free Laser Hair Removal
Beauty by Laser offers the most innovative laser hair removal treatment with Pain-free IN-Motion™. The Diode laser machine is designed to remove unwanted body and facial hair. The breakthrough, revolutionary Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ technology has been described as one of the most comfortable hair removal options available as well as the most effective permanent hair reduction solution on all skin types including tanned skin.
Half the time?
Our new laser machine boasts 3 wavelengths (808nm which targets all hair types, 755nm targets blond and fine hair as well as the 1064nm which targets dark and tanned skin) allowing the treatment to be half the time. Clients can come do their laser during their break.
Frequently Asked Questions with regard the Laser process:
Frequently asked questions with regard the laser process:
The reason it is virtually pain-free is because the treatment is performed IN-Motion™, using a paint brush technique to gradually increase the power, rather than "Zapping" which feels like an elastic band snapping against your skin. The patented Ice Tip™ ensures the surface of your skin stays cool and comfortable at all times.
To better understand the process; you would burn if you got into a very hot bath, but if you had to get into a lukewarm bath and gradually increase the temperature you could withstand the heat without feeling any pain or discomfort. This is why IN-Motion™ is today known as the best, most effective and most comfortable way to laser.
Understanding Hair Growth
There are three stages of hair growth:
Active growth stage – Anagen | Regression stage – Catagen | Resting stage – Telogen
Active growth stage – Anagen
Regression stage – Catagen
Resting stage – Telogen
We mainly target the hair in the active stage for optimal results.
How many treatments do I need?
The number of treatments varies per individual. Our average amount is between 8-10 treatments.
Clients with: light-coloured, red and fine hair as well as darker skin types will probably need more treatments than dark hair with fair skin as the laser targets the melanin (colour) in the hair follicle.
How often do I have the laser done?
Since the laser only treats the active stage of hair growth one considers the duration of the hair cycle. For ultimate results we recommend:
4 weeks for all body areas.
How does it work?
The Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ laser system gradually heats the hair follicles in the sub dermal layer of your skin combining 3 Wavelengths (808nm which targets all hair types, 755nm targets blond and fine hair as well as the 1064nm which targets dark and tanned skin) and is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) found in the hair root. This raises the temperature to a level sufficient enough to destroy the targeted hair structures, thus preventing hair re-growth.
Is it safe?
Laser is light and not radiation!!! Research has shown no links to laser as a cause of cancer.
Laser hair removal has been excessively researched in the aesthetic medical industry. The Diode Laser has provided permanent hair reduction for thousands of patients worldwide, safely and successfully since it was cleared by the FDA.
The settings are customised to each person's individual skin type making it safe for darker as well as tanned skin.
Is it permanent?
Lasers have been performed experimentally for about 20 years before becoming commercially available in the mid-1990s. In 1997 the FDA approved them for "permanent hair reduction" for the medical aesthetics.
Diode lasers (3 wavelengths) has proven to eliminate 90% of hair regrowth.
The hair follicles that are treated are eliminated, however some hairs could have been missed due to their dormant stage during the treatment.
Hormone imbalances (e.g. polycystic ovaries) and changes (e.g. puberty, menopause or pregnancy) can stimulate dormant hair follicles to become active; in this case one would need a touch up treatment.
Who is the laser suitable for?
Anyone suffering from ingrown hairs
Who is the laser not suitable for?
How do I prepare for treatment?
Post Treatment?
After laser hair removal a mild redness or swelling of the treated area may occur, this normally only lasts for a few minutes and up to a couple of days. On the day of treatment you should refrain from visiting the gym, going into a hot bath or shower or applying any products containing alcohol.
Even though our Laser allows tanning between your laser sessions, we recommend applying sunscreen for at least three days after treatment, especially areas exposed to the sun.
In the weeks following the session, you will experience a phenomenon similar to "regrowth" which is actually the hair shaft which comes out before falling. Once out the hair will begin "shedding". These hairs should be allowed to fall out naturally.
One can remove the hair at the surface between treatments (shaving, hair removal creams – but not waxing).
