Florida might just be the place to get back into. You can pickup condos less than $100K that rent for $800-1200 per month. Even when you factor in condo fees, insurance and taxes, your yield is in the teens. Plus, there will be future price appreciation if interest rates stay low.

My opinion is that this is a great time to start picking up some residential rental properties because everything is so cheap. Ten years from now I think folks will look back and wished they had picked up some more long term real estate investments during this time. This is not the best time to flip houses unless you are a real pro and know exactly what you're doing. Your best bet is to buy and hold for the long run.

I believe the best real estate investments in this economy are probably commercial real estate investments, more specifically multi-family, apartment buildings, mixed use and similar income producing properties purchased correctly. This is where we are currently focusing on the investing and lending side. I have been involved with real estate investing since 1998 and commercial lending since 2002. I agree with soapyfire that residential property for rentals and holding for the long term represents a rare opportunity that many of us may only see 1, maybe 2 times in a lifetime. The average economic cycle from boom to bust is about 7 to 12 years if history is any indicator. That said, purchasing residential properties at no more than 65-70 cents on the dollar including all acquisition, repair, financing costs, etc and holding for a cycle can prove to be extremely profitable. In this market, 10-50 cents on the dollar is possible...imagine the wealth. Make no mistakes this is the shift of wealth you're heard about in your textbooks but rarely see in action. This is where, pardon the cliche, "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." All these foreclosures were somebody's life savings and so the road to recovery will be slow. Good luck and careful investing to you!

Ultrasound Update
I know most of you are enjoying Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family right now, but I just thought I'd post an update to my ultrasound this afternoon. (I'm in Canada, Thanksgiving was last month for us!)
Due to my irregular cycles, we weren't sure exactly how far along I was. The midwife was saying possibly only 10-11 weeks, and the ultrasound tech looked at the dates and said over 13 weeks. Turns out I'm 12 weeks and a couple days, exactly like I thought I was. Baby was wiggling around like crazy, so we didn't really get any good pictures, but it was great to see the little heartbeat and those tiny little arms waving around. ♥
I've been having a hard time with depression during this pregnancy, and constantly thinking negative thoughts and fearing the worst. So it was such a relief to see my little baby doing just fine.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Re: Ultrasound Update
I am sorry that you have been struggling with depression... I have had it bad with every pregnancy and have had to be on an anti-depressant the whole time. On a brighter note, I am happy to hear that you had a good ultrasound and that baby is doing good!
Re: Ultrasound Update
Yay I am glad things are going well!
Re: Ultrasound Update
I am very glad that you had a good ultrasound!
Re: Ultrasound Update
Great that your ultrasound went well! Have a happy thanksgiving!
Re: Ultrasound Update
Good news!
Glad it went well! Depression is no fun. I hope you are able to work out a treatment so you can feel like you again
Re: Ultrasound Update
Yay for a great ultrasound!

How To Write Great Content For Your Website
Due to Google's changes in its search algorithm, the digital marketing landscape is rapidly evolving. In order for marketers to stay ahead of their competition, they must evolve with it. In 2013, Google began hiding search query data, meaning marketers no longer have access to the keywords that are driving the most traffic on their paid and organic channels. This means that digital marketers can no longer rely on the out-dated tactic of simply stuffing webpages with random keywords and links. No, now marketers must place CONTEXT within their CONTENT and provide visitors with valuable information based on buyer search terms. But how do you do this? Here are three steps to creating great content that people want.
- Identify and Understand Buyer Intent Signals - Google's machine learning and natural language capabilities are allowing Google to provide online consumers with the specific answer that they may be searching for. This is great for consumers, great for Google, and great for online search - but a major challenge for digital marketers. However, solutions like Captora are allowing marketers to amplify productivity by automating the process of identifying demand signals and then stack-ranking them based on search frequency and how much content you do or do not have around that search term. Awesome, right? Request a free demo and we will show you how
- Create Targeted Landing Pages - Marketers can no longer use generic search terms to drive visitors (who are looking for a particular solution) back to a generic homepage. Well... they can, but not without being penalized by Google. Digital marketers must create target landing pages, single websites, that not only integrate into their home website, but also provide a specific solution that is tied to a specific search term or pain point
- Test and Optimize - Simple design changes, content changes, format or offer changes can result in drastically different results. A/B and A/E test key elements that are both successful and unsuccessful and compare the results. Testing will allow you to develop data-driven insights that will allow you to optimize your campaigns.
However, before you get started you must first understand how potential buyers are searching for and around your solution, and then go out and create that content. For more information on getting the right content, in front front of the right consumer at the right time, download our FREE ebook!

Wear This, Not That: Lovely Alternatives to Latest Trends
Sometimes style and practicality find themselves at odds. Maybe shoes that are wildly popular fashion-wise just won't cut it for you from a comfort perspective. Or perhaps a certain "it" shoe appeals to you, but is too expensive. In an effort to help our readers stay stylish but still comfortable and/or on budget, we proudly present our picks of cute, comfy alternatives to four currently popular shoe styles.
Slip-on sneakers have been around forever. But in the 80s, Vans took them to a new level of California cool that was a far cry from Mr. Rogers and the Professor on Gilligan's Island. This versatile style has had yet another resurgence in the last couple of years, but some things haven't changed – slip-ons can often be clunky, fit poorly, and have very little support. Thankfully comfort shoe brands have taken notice and offered up options like the Sofft Somers, which gets 5-star reviews for being stylish, lightweight, and supportive. The Earth Tangelo is another great option, loved by reviewers for its comfort, sleek styling, and trendy perforated uppers.
If you search online for flexible flats, you're sure to quickly encounter the turquoise blue-soled Tieks, which seem to have taken the world of flats-wearers by storm. Reviewers love their foldability, luxurious packaging, and large selection of colors and patterns. Some rave about the comfort, others not so much. But price is the real deal-breaker for many – they can run upward of $200. If Tieks appeal to you but not your wallet, consider the similar but much less pricey Yosi Samra Samara, a flexible flat that earns 5-star reviews. If you want a comfortable flat but don't need foldability, a great, less-expensive-than-Tieks alternative is the Joseph Seibel Pippa, which gets terrific reviews for fit and comfort. And yet another consideration is the Born Julianne with its arch cookie (cushioned insert at the arch), and good fit at the heel.
If you love the fun patterns and vibrant colors of flip flops like Havaianas but fear (rightfully so) that your feet won't love them, we have a find for you! The Vionic Beach Noosa is a sleek, fun, colorful flip flop that has arch support, cushioning, and heel cup for stability. Having long abandoned flimsy (albeit fun) flip-flops in the name of comfort, we can't wait to give the Vionic Beach Noosa a try this summer.
Knit trainers are having a fashion moment, which makes us happy because the forgiving, sock-like knit uppers can be great for folks with bunions or hammertoes. But most lack any meaningful arch support. We finally found it in the Altra Escalante knit sneakers. Take it straight from the Barking Dog's mouth – these are awesome! (Keep an eye out for our full review, coming soon.)
17 Responses to Wear This, Not That: Lovely Alternatives to Latest Trends
Are there any alternatives to classic converse both high top and low cut?
I have the Taos sneakers and they are quite comfortable. Seems to have a bit of a heel drop which isn't ideal for my foot problems. None the less I can wear them with little problems. Not sure how great they would be for a lot of walking though.
I love my keen Elsa.
In the slip on sneaker category, the Taos Dandy is great! I love the arch support in them, and they are cute and stylish. They do run a little bit small, but they stretch because they're canvas.
Id love a slip on sneaker with a wide toe box and narrow heel and support (of course) any ideas? I usually have to compromise and end up not wearing the shoe…
I would love the same thing! I hope someone has a recommendation! I ordered the Sofft Somers thinking they would be great, but they're not. The toe box is too narrow and the heel is so loose that my foot comes out every step I take. I'm sending them back!!
I'm looking forward to your review of the Altra Escalante. I have fallen in love lately with Altra. The Torin and Lone Peak have become my favorite walking or jogging shoes. Currently, I'm (still) dealing with a big plantar fasciitis flareup, and started thinking about how the calf needs to be stretched. Although zero drop isn't suggested for PF, I thought it kind of makes sense. So glad I gave it a go. The Paradigm and Olympus didn't work for me.
I love the look of that Joseph Seibel Pippa and just added it to my zappos cart! Love the slip on sneakers, too.
Thank you.
Ai had plantar fasciitis for a year, bought Kuru shoes and of healed! Not cheap, but really good support. Have a look.
Walking Cradles has an adorable "sneaker style" slip on that has a super-lightweight and flexible EVA bottom, mesh uppers with self-adjusting gore, a soft leather heel cup with a padded collar. The "Fraley" comes in black and taupe with the on-trend white bottom, is $120 and due to hit our website next week. Our wear-testers love it and it is cute as heck! If you would like to see a picture of it prior to it hitting walkingcradles.com, just email me at: email@example.com.
Fitflop makes all of these styles for those, like me, who need a soft footbed more than any other feature. Sizing is very inconsistent. For the most softness between your foot and the floor, look for the Microwobbleboard sole.

Starting: an example
Please reference as: Liz Stanley (2016) 'Starting: an example' http://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/HowTo/Starting-an-example, and provide the paragraph number as appropriate when quoting.
1. Starting off
1. For happenstance reasons, the Pietermaritzburg Archives Depot in Zwa-Zulu Natal is somewhere I had never done research before, in spite of many years researching in South Africa. This was because my attention had been on the collections at the University of Zwa-Zulu Natal. However, the recent riots and other disturbances, and that this campus was affected more than most, have meant that this has become off-limits. Therefore the decision to work in the province-level Archives Depot instead. And so, going there in Nov/Dec 2016, I started out knowing nothing about its collections, how they are organised, and how the place works with regards to what finding aids are available, ordering materials, retrieval and so on. With a few days work, these things become clear, and also I gained a good idea of what collections I might want to do more detailed work on and the degree and depth of what might be done on each of them.
1.2 So how did this come about, how was this knowledge gained? The process is outlined below; and while the detail is specific to this particular archive, the basic procedures apply more generally.
1.3 Throughout the process I was working with a co-researcher (Sue Wise) with whom I have worked on many previous occasions, amongst other things on aspects of the concentration camps of the South African War and Olive Schreiner's letters. We operated a division of labour, in which I directed our activities and we worked on fairly separate things that didn't involve too much talking, so as not to annoy fellow archive users and staff. Then, immediately following each day's work, we de-briefed so as to share information and give us a sense of the whole.
2. Pietermaritzburg Archives Depot Archivalia
2.1 There is a short overview of the collections in all the archives depots, compiled for each of the four provinces of South Africa. This is their 'Archivalia'.
2.2 Before leaving the National Archives in Pretoria, I read the 'Archivalia' document for the Pietermaritzburg Archives Depot (which used to be called the Natal AD) and concluded that this archive was likely to be fairly small with its collections focused on official papers of a variety of kinds, while its 'accessions' – collections of personal papers – appeared to be include some larger collections. This was because its Archivalia lists twenty or so of them as having inventories, along with the comment there were others which could be overviewed using its List of Accessions.
2.3 Although the archive depots in all four former provinces of South Africa used to have a complete set of the provincial Archivalia and also their full Lists of Accessions, this is certainly not so now regarding what is available in Pretoria. I have worked on these documents in the past there but over time various of them have gone walkies, either lost by staff or stolen by users. So using the Accessions List had to wait until arrival in PMB. However, from its Archivalia I was able to produce a list of around seven collections which appeared on the surface as possibly suitable for WWW research regarding their longevity, for the time-span of the materials in them was helpfully indicated.
3. The List of Accessions
3.1 Arriving in the PMB archive at opening time on Monday morning, having sussed out its location and the whereabouts of parking the day before, the first thing was to ask the archivist on duty about finding aids, accessions inventories, and more generally about family collections. The latter drew a blank, or rather was interpreted as a question about accessions, for as in most places in the world, the days of research-archivists have gone and what staff know about is the overall shape of holdings, the range of finding aids available and other broad-brush things, rather than the content of particular collections.
3.2 Two tasks were then embarked on. The first was to read through the entirety of the List of Accessions, to add other possibilities to the list of collections that might be suitable.
3.3 Doing this, the result was that there were now about fifteen on the list. The second task followed, and was to access and read the inventories for all fifteen collections of possible interest. After reading them, those inventories that indicated content might have any interest were jpeged, for digital photography is permissible in this archive, and then saved in suitably named folders on my laptop.
3.4 A number of inventories had quite detailed information about the letters they contained, in two instances providing lists of individual letters and who they were to and from. This was an added bonus, and in both these cases these were fully photographed, for some preliminary figurational analysis can be carried out on such outline information because it is time-structured and the names of figuration members are provided.
4. Using the Parkinson Accession Inventory
4.1 After reading the inventories, one particular collection – the Parkinson Accession – seemed to stand out (it later became apparent this was slightly misleading!
but it provided a useful focal point). It is the collection of a fairly well-to-do farming family with a number of children who over time became involved in its activities; and initially at least it seemed to have characteristics in common with the Forbes Collection. Because of this, three of the boxes which the inventory identified as containing the letters were called up – and these were speedily retrieved by archive staff.
4.2 The contents of one of these was skimmed in sufficient depth to identify the kind of content and more importantly how the boxes were organised and also how the contents of each were provided, whether in folders or in other ways. Some very schematic notes were made about this box. A request was made to retain the other two boxes for the next day. End of Day 1.
5. Working the Collections
5.1 The Parkinson Accession was not the only focus of archival desire, for there were some seven or eight other collections that still looked interesting and were possible points of focus. Two trajectories of activities followed. One was to continue sampling the boxes containing Parkinson correspondence, skimming these and writing overviewing notes on the contents of a succession of boxes. The other was to do something similar for each of the other collections on the shortlist: to re-read their inventories, and to call up a small number of boxes containing correspondence from each and to look at the kind of material involved and how it is organised, rather than the details of content.
5.2 Through this process the Parkinson Accession eventually seemed to be less interesting than I initially thought and hoped. It certainly has letters stretching over a long period of time and involves the papers of a number of members of the same family. However, most family members appear to have led very sociable lives but from their letters at least not to have done anything very interesting, with most of the letters being of 'staying in touch' kinds, although there are exceptions to this, with one brother a stock inspector and one sister the main farmer in the family. But nonetheless, overall these letters stretch over a long period of time and are of an 'ordinary family' of the middling sort, and therefore the collection remains on the list for full WWW research on it. Tuesday's work had reviewed eight or so Parkinson boxes and a few boxes from a variety of other collections. End of Day 2.
5.3 The second trajectory of activity (persued as light relief between more Parkinson boxes) showed that a number of other collections remain of interest, but with it being specific features of these that caught the attention. The Fynn Collection contains the papers of a very racketty pair of brothers, both of who were married to numbers of African women ('gifted' by King Shaka, so refusal could have meant death). The Crompton collection has interesting letters, although the Cromptons were certainly not 'ordinary people' but part of the political elite. The Lys Accession has interesting diaries and letters. There is a subset of the Hathorn collection concerned with the early days of diamond mining. And so on. These investigative activities were carried out on days 3 and 4.
5.4 At the end of Day 4 (which ended two hours early on Thursday at 1:30 PM), the two of us working together had reviewed a total of 26 Parkinson boxes out of 97. As well as letters, these boxes also contained some diaries by three members of the family. These too were quickly read through and notes made. In addition, five other collections had also been reviewed in some detail and with multiple boxes from each having been worked on. These are the Crompton papers, the Lys accession, Hathorn letters, aspects of the Fynn papers, and letters in the Stabb collection.
5.5 We also both concluded that the Pietermaritzburg AD is one of the best organised and the most pleasant of any of the archives we have worked in in South Africa. Its staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient and documents are retrieved very quickly. We look forward to returning for a possible closer engagement with some of these collections.
6. Another possibility
6.1 In addition to what is sketched out above, another lead regarding a related family collection also opened up. This concerns a family related to the Parkinsons through marriage, the Methleys; and it is described in various leaflets and brochures about the area as being kept in the Museum in Howick, a small town not far from PMB.
6.2 In part, evenings have been spent pottering on names and places using the computer and Internet sources. As with the National Archives, the PMB Archive has a blank-out on Internet connections, so this cannot be done in situ. It was one of these evening potterings that indicatedforegrounded the existence of a Methley family collection. But other than that there was a family collection, it was quite extensive and that an article about it was published in the 1990s, there was no other information. Recourse to the telephone to arrange a visit and access! No answer. Many no answers. Recourse to the car!
7. Howick Museum: Day 5
7.1 A planned meander through the Natal Midlands was abandoned because cloud and rain were so low and persistent that nothing could be seen apart from ghostly shapes of cars and trees, a continuation of the weather front of the last few days. But the visit to Howick was worth it, even though we didn't find the Methley collection.
7.2 Conversations with a curio shopkeeper, a cafe owner, a bookshop owner and three nice women at the Information Centre at Howick Falls provided the information that the museum had closed about three years previously following a strike and an arson attack, with its exhibits and collections having been taken to PMB for restoration; and that at some point it may re-open, but bureaucracy and perhaps corruption are delaying things. However, no one in Pietermaritzburg Arts and Culture had known anything about the Howick Museum, when they were asked on our behalf by the PMB archivist. Even recently printed information still lists the Museum in Howick and its opening hours, however.
7.3 For the forseeable future, any idea of working on the Methley collection has to be given up. Attention now turns to the collections in the Killie Campbell archive in Durban. End of Day 4 and after seeing Howick Falls (spectacularly grim in the rain), an early retreat from the weather back to where we are staying was in order.

New Delhi, July 24: Trade negotiations at the Cancun ministerial meeting in September will be vertically split over the controversial Harbinson text that covers issues relating to agriculture as developing countries feel it will badly compromise their interests.
The Harbinson text which has been formulated by Stuart Harbinson, chairman of WTOs council of agriculture (CAP) provides for a reduction in tariff lines that developing countries like India find objectionable.
India and the other developing countries plan to scuttle all discussion on the Harbinson text and will instead press for implementation of the softer tariff reduction schedule spelt out under the Uruguay Round.
The Harbinson formula enjoins developing countries to commit to sharper tariff reductions on agro products than the Uruguay Round. India and other countries wanted a development box under the agreement on agriculture to address their livelihood and food security concerns.
Countries like the European Union, the US and the Cairns groupe have opposed such an idea and are also against the concept of special products given to the developing countries, said R Gopalan, joint secretary, department of commerce at a seminar on WTO negotiations in agriculture organised by the Federation Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci).
The developed countries have however indicated that they could accept only 20 agriculture tariff lines, provided the Harbinson approach to tariff reduction is accepted, he added.
However, India and other 75 members countries want to follow the Uruguay round formula of average tariff reduction for agricultural commodities. Gopalan said India has around 692 tariff lines under agriculture. If we go by the US approach, only 2 per cent of our tariff lines would qualify as special products, he said.
Speaking on the occassion, Gokul Patnaik, member of Ficcis taskforce on agriculture, cautioned that the basic flaw in the Harbinson text is that it does not define subsidies well.

Current research targeting oolong tea health benefits supports ancient wisdom about this delicious, healing tea. As oolong tea becomes better known around the world, the many health benefits of oolong tea will become the target of increasingly more research studies.
Even though oolong health benefits have been treasured in China for centuries, oolong tea and its healing properties are still new to many of us.
As you get to know the delicious taste of oolong tea, know that you are enjoying the following oolong tea health benefits, as well. More oolong tea information is available in current research focusing on...
A 2009 population study at Kyoto University in Japan involved almost 77,000 participants between the ages of 40 and 79, each with no history of stroke, coronary heart disease, or cancer at the onset of the study.
Research results indicated that regular consumption of oolong and/or green tea reduces the threat of heart disease and lessens the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Click here to read the research abstract.
What do you think of oolong tea? If you've experienced the benefits of oolong tea, we'd love to hear about it! Click here to share your thoughts and opinions about oolong tea with other visitors to our site.
Oolong tea may also protect you from heart disease by helping to lower high cholesterol levels.
High levels of LDL cholesterol can increase your risk of heart attack, and a 2003 study at the Institute for Health Care Science in Osaka, Japan, found that the antioxidants in oolong tea may lower high LDL levels.
If you'd like to take a closer look at the study, click here.
In this 2004 study of the long-term effects of drinking tea on high blood pressure, results showed that drinking oolong or green tea regularly can significantly lower your risk of developing high blood pressure.
In the study, which examined the tea drinking habits of over 1500 participants in Taiwan, the risk of developing hypertension decreased by 46 percent for habitual tea drinkers who consumed at least 120 ml (1/2 cup) oolong or green tea daily for at least one year. For those who drank over 600 ml (2 1/2 cups) oolong or green tea each day, that risk was decreased by 65 percent.
Tea consumption for more than a year did not lead to additional risk reduction.
If you'd like to read more about this study, click here.
Twenty participants with type 2 diabetes taking prescribed hyperglycemic medication participated in this 2003 study conducted in Taiwan.
After consuming 1500 ml (about 6.3 cups) Chinese oolong tea each day for 30 days, the study participants had significantly lower blood sugar levels. (Chinese, rather than Taiwanese, oolong tea was selected for the study because its shorter oxidation process typically results in higher levels of antioxidants in the tea.)
More oolong tea health benefits... the study also found that oolong tea in combination with hyperglycemic medication was more effective in lowering blood sugar levels than the medication alone.

Even though oolong tea has been valued in China for many years for its health and wellness properties, many of us are still just getting to know this wonderful tea!
While many of us don't bother with scientific research to tell us about the health benefits of tea, current studies do provide more oolong tea information and confirm the traditional wisdom about the many healing benefits of oolong that has been passed down through the generations.
If you plan to drink therapeutic levels of oolong tea - say, for example, to help you shed a few pounds or help keep your heart healthy - be sure to check with your healthcare provider first, to ensure that oolong tea is a safe choice for you (especially true if you are taking any prescription medications or if you are pregnant or a nursing mom).
Also, be sure to read about some of the potential side effects of tea here.
And, like all teas from the Camellia sinensis tea bush, oolong tea has caffeine, so you may need to watch how much oolong you drink if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Henry Fong Launches Banzai Record Label
The dog-eat-dog backbone of the music industry creates instances where talented producers fail to find an audience. In many cases, an artist must sign to a large-scale record label in order to disperse their music at a grander level. However, record labels often want to push a certain sound, so these signed producers compromise their music to gain fans. Thankfully, EDM plays with its own rules, and many producers opt out of big label deals and publish their music through start-up record labels.
Following in the footsteps of artists such as Skrillex, Nicky Romero, and many others, Henry Fong announced the launch of a new record label called Banzai Records. Fong announced the new record label and its logo on his Facebook profile, citing a desire for creative control over his future releases. No signees or releases were named, but Fong will spearhead the label with some new music later this week.
Listen to Henry Fong and SCNDL's new track "Ass Up" below:

Knee Pain Home Remedies
Knee, the highest load bearing joints of our body has great role in our everyday life. It gives unbearable pain. We realize it once we go through after a long and hectic day of hard work. A number of factors add to the symptoms of knee pain such as arthritis, excessive usage of the knee joint and even back pain.
To keep them healthy follow some home remedies:–
Don't be overweight. Being overweight, create tension on the joints especially on knees. Opt for low fat and low calorie foods. Do exercise regularly and stay slim and trim.
Do not compromise when you are selecting your shoes. Go with most comfortable footwear rather than best-looking one. Even you can customize your footwear too from a podiatrist, orthopaedist or sports-medicine specialists.
Avoid high heel footwear. It strains the leg muscles. Opt for walking shoes for walking, running shoes for running. Wearing right footwear on right occasion does not create any strain and avoid knee pain.
Replace the shoes once they are worn out.
Use a foam cushion when u kneels or doing works such as gardening, washing a floor or such other activities that requires kneeling.
Knee bends sometimes make us feel like great fitness boosters but they create too much tension on the knees. Avoid lifting too much weight.
Steam baths reduces the knee pain by reducing inflammation and improves the blood circulation. Ice massaging is equally effective in reducing the knee pain.
Herbs such as dried ginger, wintergreen, devil's claw, cat's claw are much effective in reducing the knee pain.
Apply the paste of castor, wheat, turmeric and goat's milk or clarified butter in and around the knees and get immediate relief.
A simple light massage with coconut oil, mustard oil or olive oil is also effective to get relief. Repeat it thrice a day to get adequate relief.
Yoga exercises or physiotherapy exercises help in reducing knee pain. It has long lasting effect.
Soak fenugreek seeds in the mustard seed oil. Apply it on knee. Let it dry for some time. It warms up the knees and help in increasing the flow of blood.
Include vitamin D, E and B3, cod liver oil, peanuts and flaxseed oils in the diet.
Keep hydrate your body to keep your muscles soft and maintain its elasticity.
Use a hot compress around the knee for near about 15 minutes to cure knee pain.
Ice packs are great pain reliever. It helps in reducing the inflammation and relieves.

What would you do if you caught your spouse cheating? In her hit song "Before He Cheats," Carrie Underwood suggests digging "a key down the side of his pretty little souped-up 4-wheel drive." Some people would write a scathing letter. Others have been known to take more "desperate measures." (Lorena Bobbitt, anyone?)
I'm not the cheating type, so I've never had to worry about someone getting their revenge on me, and so far I haven't been the victim of a cheating partner, but I feel like if that day ever came, I'd feel pretty vengeful.
That's why this story of 29-year-old Ting Su of China's revenge is so infinitely satisfying.
She had suspected that her husband had been cheating for quite some time. He seemed to be hiding things from her and would leave the house at odd hours. Her suspicion built up and eventually reached a point where she knew she had to find out the truth.
She used mobile device tracking to trace her husband's location to the parking lot of a nearby shopping center. Sure enough, she found her husband, Cheng, naked and cheating with another woman.
But not just any woman. He was cheating with his wife's twin sister!
What happened next is hilariously satisfying. Would you want to enact revenge on a cheating spouse or partner? We want to hear your thoughts in the comments. Please SHARE and let this story serve as a warning to anyone even thinking of cheating.
She immediately confronted her husband and her twin sister, who were both naked in the car. She threw the door open to confront them, and they both leapt out in shock to try to run around to front and get their clothes, but Ting Su saw an opportunity.
With both of them naked and outside of the car, Ting Su jumped into the car and locked all the doors. Her husband and twin sister were forced to stand outside, banging on the door and begging to be let in. Ting Su laughed as she drove off, leaving the offending pair naked in the parking lot.
Bystanders took their phones out and started taking pictures. Most of them laughed. Bystander You Meng told reporters, "It was so funny. Loads of people were grabbing their phones and I did as well. He was banging his fist on the window and shouting at her, and she just wasn't playing ball."
Apparently, Ting Su has now filed for divorce. Not only was her husband cheating with her twin sister, they'd been doing so ever since Ting Su gave birth to her own set of twins. Let's hope her daughters have more respect for each other than Ting Su's twin sister did.
Please SHARE!

Random Thoughts From the Consumer POV15 Jul, 2003 By: Holly J. Wagner
I don't have a lot to say on any one topic this week so I'm just going to comment on a few random observations from the marketplace. Don't expect them to be related, but if you see a connection – or not – you're welcome to send your comments.
For a while I was pulling for Kmart to survive, but after a chance stop at my neighborhood Kmart yesterday, I've lost faith in Kmart's ability to pull it out. Not only was the garden section nearly bare (half a table of marigolds on their last gasp and a few bags of potting soil and fertilizer), it was clear that suppliers in some categories are no longer making Kmart a priority: from aisle to aisle, a shopper could walk along and see areas stocked normally punctuated with huge, empty swaths that seemed to cry out for merchandise. A chain bent on survival should at least try to make it look like shelves are full. It was clear at this store that no effort was made to fill in the literal – and very visible -- gaps.
The DVD section, which has been one aisle under locked glass doors for a bit more than a year, was blocked at one end with a pyramid of boxed TV sets. It was obviously set up that way to force traffic past the electronics department sales counter, which to me screams loss control.
I have to admit I consider myself a less-than-likely potential customer for Buena Vista and Flexplay's test of the EZ-D disposable DVD disc. But while I was at the supermarket over the Independence Day weekend, I realized how the product could succeed as an impulse purchase and how it will cannibalize rentals, not sales.
I arrived at this conclusion in the produce section, of all places (does anyone else out there remember Arlo Guthrie's old rap about "Celery Consciousness")? I had finished the rest of my shopping and realized I needed a bunch of celery. I frowned that the price was about 40 cents more per bunch than at the produce market, but the 40 cents would save me another stop. Guess where I bought the celery?
From the checkout line, I could look out the supermarket window across the intersection to Blockbuster (on a pad in front of the ill-stocked Kmart). As I stared absently across the intersection, I realized that if I were a Blockbuster customer, I would make the same substitution of an EZ-D for a rental if it saved me another stop and trip to a counter. Now, if I had a subscription that meant I would not have to shell out at all for the rental, I might make the extra stop. The moral of this story is, the closer the price of a disposable is to the price of a rental, the more likely it is to pillage rentals and succeed in the marketplace.
Last night I was watching a show on TV and started flipping during the commercials back to E! channel and its "101 Most Shocking Moments in Entertainment," which is presented in hourlong segments of 20. I have a shocking moment for them to add: The one when I realized that Eddie Murphy getting picked up during the wee hours of a long-ago morning with a cross-dressing hooker in his car rated more shocking than a Great White club gig that accidentally left 99 people dead in a fire.
I don't know who ranked the list, but to me it was a big statement on American priorities that one celebrity misbehaving is more shocking than 99 nobodies going out for night on the town and losing their lives.

Sparkling Apple and Cranberry Champagne Cocktail
Happy New Year's Eve! How do you like to ring in the new year? Party? Bar hop? Curled up with a good book and asleep before the ball drops? Since I grew up in New York, I've always associated this night with Times Square. But I've actually never gone there for the annual ball drop.
Thursday, December 25, 2014
Spiked and Spicy Hot Chocolate
Happy Christmas! Even though it's not my holiday, I can't help but enjoy the music and lights and festivities of this beautiful season. And, of course, the food. And the...um...drinks!
Thursday, December 18, 2014
Hot Buttered Rum Nog
Not gonna lie. The first time I heard about hot buttered rum I thought the idea sounded nauseating. But over the years, whenever I heard the term, I started wondering why I thought so because I certainly like butter well enough. And I definitely like rum. And the idea starting sounding more appealing.
Thursday, December 11, 2014
Cranberry Gin Fizz
If it's December, there must be a bag of cranberries in my refrigerator at all times. So many delicious possibilities. Cranberry sauce, cranberry bread or my personal favorite, orange cranberry scones. So, which have I made? Um...OK, time got a little away from me this month.
Thursday, December 4, 2014
Chocolate Covered Pretzel Martini
I like my sweets salty and my salty snacks sweet. In other words, I'm obsessed with chocolate covered pretzels. Anytime I find myself in a gourmet treat store, I know at least one giant coated pretzel will be coming home with me. And it's all I can do to not buy more.

Hot Cocoa Martini
So Thanksgiving is over. You've feasted and indulged and slept it off. And chances are you have some leftovers in the fridge to last throughout the long weekend. Back to reality, sort of, but not yet. Perhaps just a bit more indulgence before heading back to real life on Monday.
Thursday, November 20, 2014
The Rummy Pumpkin
Thanksgiving is one week away and I'm sure you've got your dinner menus planned. But what about your cocktail menu? Oh, were you just planning on putting out bottles of wine and some soft drinks? No thought of creating a house special cocktail? That's about to change!
Thursday, November 13, 2014
The Maple Leaf
If you're not a bourbon drinker or don't have much experience with it, I can tell you that this is the cocktail that made me a fan. It was on the specialty drinks menu at a great local restaurant a few years ago and it was just odd enough to be compelling.
Thursday, November 6, 2014
Chocolate Chip Cookie Martini
If you've been reading Hungry Couple this week then you know it's Cookie Week! I've made Dark and Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies and Maple Walnut Shortbread Cookies, there's an awesome giveaway and I also have an extra chance to win cookies from the Girl in the Little Red Kitchen Bakeshop. But today is cocktail day and....well...I had to do it!
Thursday, October 30, 2014
Caramel Apple Martini
There are drinks that are downed in a hurry, maybe to relax or take the edge off, and others that are more of an event. Personally, I'm all for cocktails that are special and deserve to be sipped and savored. Creative rims, fun garnishes, little touches that make them something to look forward to.
Thursday, October 23, 2014
Bourbon Pumpkin Smash
There's a chill in the air, the leaves are changing colors and the pumpkin cocktails are flowing freely around here. Mixed with the warmth of bourbon, cinnamon and maple, this drink just typifies autumn.
Thursday, October 16, 2014
Pear and Bourbon Ginger Snap
The other day I was poaching pears in a ginger syrup for a cheese course dish and the aroma was intoxicating. Even the next morning, my kitchen still a light ginger fragrance and the leftover pears on my counter were ripe and aromatic. I just had to do something more with all that!
Thursday, October 9, 2014
Pumpkin Cheesecake Martini
In case you were concerned that we're already more than a week into October and there haven't been any pumpkin cocktails, rest easy. We like our pumpkins in all forms and that definitely includes liquid!

Sparkling Lemon Pear-tini
We've been having a mini heatwave in New York the last couple of weeks. The last bits of summer intruding into our fall. So the bounty of autumn pears in the market are begging to be used, but not exactly in front of a warming fireplace.
Thursday, September 25, 2014
Maple Daiquiri
The basic daiquiri is a wonderfully simple and tasty classic. Just three ingredients - rum, lime and sugar. But those few components blend together so harmoniously. Much more fun, though, is the fact that it's an easy drink to adapt.
Thursday, September 18, 2014
Apple Pie Martini
I still remember the first time I heard about apple martinis. It sounded so unusual and intriguing and, when I was at a restaurant that offered it, I was excited to try. Until it arrived, all neon green and practically glowing in the glass. Hmm. Oh, it tasted nice, even if not exactly like apple, but somehow not quite what I expected.
Thursday, September 11, 2014
The Fig and Bourbon
The temperature has finally fallen a bit around here. Still warm but no longer hot. The summer fruits are disappearing, replaced by lovely apples and pears and figs! Yay for figs. They have such a short growing season from late summer into early fall and are almost gone already.
Thursday, September 4, 2014
Pear Cosmo
Now that Labor Day weekend has come and gone, we're in that place between mourning the passing of summer and the anticipation of autumn and a slight nip in the air. And while many of the summer fruits are becoming scarcer, they're being replaced with juicy apples and fragrant ripe pears. I'm actually a little obsessed with pears these days.

Bourbon and Thyme Peach Smash
Even though we're quickly coming up on Labor Day weekend, I'm taking advantage of the last bits of summer I can grab. There's still plenty of beautiful ripe fruit to be had at the market and the August peaches are sweet and juicy.

Blueberry Lemon Drop
For the last few years, late August has meant vacation heaven on the coast of Maine. We know where to stay, where to eat and definitely where to drink. There are always at least a few meals at One Dock and we can't wait to see what specialty cocktail they've added to their menu.
Thursday, August 14, 2014
Peach Cobbler Cocktail
I've been waiting for the August peaches! In some ways, they're a frustrating fruit because they're available in my market all year long but they're not worth eating. Hard as rocks with no flavor or aroma. But there they are, on display, taunting me. August, though, is when the peaches become peachy!
Thursday, August 7, 2014
Icy Cold Blood Orange Cosmo
Once again I found myself planning cocktails in the produce aisle. There's always a dazzling array of fruit these days but something usually jumps out. This week, some blood oranges rolled into my basket and demanded to come home with me. So ripe they practically juiced themselves and filled my kitchen with a lovely fragrance.

Cheesecake Martini
Yesterday was National Cheesecake Day and I celebrated with several dozen of my fellow food bloggers. We each made our own perfect version of cheesecake and my Blueberry Ricotta Cream Cheesecake was definitely my ideal. But whenever I have a killer dessert, I start to wonder if I can turn it into a killer cocktail.

Golden Kiwi Cocktail
Delivery people who come to my door usually have to contend with an eager tail wagger who assumes that they are there to play with her. But today, the man who delivered my Fresh Direct weekly grocery order also had to contend with me practically ripping the boxes out of his arms.
Thursday, July 17, 2014
S'mores Martini
Summer and s'mores just go together. The smell of roasted, slightly burned marshmallows conjures up memories of summer camp and long lazy kid days. Of course, grown-ups can eat s'mores, too, but it's kinda fun to drink them as well. If you don't already have a bottle of marshmallow vodka, you need to get some. Right now. For one thing, you need it to make this drink and you do want to make this drink. You can also use it to make a Frozen Fluffernutter and you want to make that, too. Drinking it straight from the bottle is also an option. Cheers!

Rummy Pistachio Milkshake
Last week I had the good, and tasty, fortune to sample a new line of Häagen-Dazs gelato flavors. Yes, I realize it's a tough job but I'm only doing it for all of you. Um, yeah, sure. Anyhow, I ended up using most of the flavors to make mini crunch cakes but I still had some pistachio flavor left over in my freezer.
Thursday, July 3, 2014
Icy Cold Watermelon Martini
So, remember a few weeks ago when I was in such a hurry for summer to arrive? Yeah...um...OK. We can check that off the list now because it's arrived and with a vengeance. No, I'm not wishing it away. Not at all. But I am wishing for something tall and icy cold to drink.
Thursday, June 26, 2014
Frozen Apricot Daiquiri
I love farmers markets and big displays of fresh produce and it's one of the many reasons to love summer. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of bags of frozen fruit in my freezer. Those are perfect for smoothies and frozen cocktails. But they don't have the ability, while I'm wandering through the fruit stalls, to grab me with their fresh aroma and demand to be purchased.

Lychee Martini
Do you remember when the world was supposed to end? It was around May of 2011 when the rapture was supposed to occur. Since we're all still here, the folks who were predicting it were clearly a little off...and maybe even more than a little off, if you know what I mean. And before you start thinking that I've gone a little off, I guess I should explain what all this has to do with lychee martinis.
Thursday, June 5, 2014
Pineapple Mojito
Spring is quickly giving way to summer around here with temperatures moving into 80's. Still not oppressively hot, though. Perfect for beach days and picnics, street festivals and afternoons in the park. And, of course, tall cool drinks on the porch.
Thursday, May 29, 2014
Thyme and Nectarine Gimlet
So, last week a made a nectarine cocktail because I couldn't resist the sweet aroma of them on display in my market. Well, this week, I walked in there with the intention of buying pineapples but those were right next to the nectarine display, still sitting there, wafting nectarine smells in my direction. Who could resist wafting nectarines?
Thursday, May 22, 2014
Creamy Frozen Nectarine Blitz
Happy almost Memorial Day weekend! The start of summer beach days and grilling and long lazy afternoons sitting on a porch sipping a cool drink. Yes, I know that's somewhat idealized and there's still work to be done during the week. But we still need to savor those lazy, cool drink times because they'll be gone before we know it!
Thursday, May 15, 2014
Frozen White Pear Cosmo
I'm loving the spring weather we're having, even if it's a little on the rainy side this year. But after such a long, cold winter, I'll take any relief. And warm weather makes me want to put fruit in a blender and pour vodka on it. Rum would work, too.
Thursday, May 8, 2014
Vodka Sidecar (Balalaika)
Bala what? Balalaika? Such an odd name for a cocktail, isn't it? And not one we've often heard being ordered across the local bar. But it's actually a $25 dollar word for a very simple drink.
Thursday, May 1, 2014
Tropical Fiesta Cocktail
It's just a few short days until we celebrate Cinco de Mayo and already I see tons of margarita recipes all around the internet. The Mexican holiday is always a big deal in New York, mostly as an excuse to go out and eat delicious Mexican food and drink tequila cocktails.
Thursday, April 24, 2014
Mint Julep
The famous Kentucky Derby has been run on the first Saturday in May since 1875. And though the race itself only lasts about two minutes, the festivities and traditions make for a big party.
Thursday, April 17, 2014
Gin and Cucumber Smash
The first time I heard of cucumbers being used in a cocktail, I was both intrigued and doubtful. I mean, I really love cucumbers but the thought of drinking them seemed so odd. But I guess the intrigued part won out because I looked up a recipe and quickly threw together the drink. Nope. Not remotely appealing. Bitter and overly savory, it was more medicine than delightful refreshment. I shelved the idea.
Thursday, April 10, 2014
Pear & Thyme Gin Fizz
I seem to be a little obsessed with thyme these days. Slow braised beef dishes, veggie sides, you name it and I toss a little thyme in it. So why should cocktails be any exception?
Thursday, April 3, 2014
Carrot Cake Cocktail
A few days ago, I got a package in the mail and it contained a whole lotta carrots. This veggie largess was compliments of Grimmway Farms with whom I will be working on a project next month. My immediate reaction was to get a tub of hummus and start munching away while I decided what else I could do with them.
Thursday, March 27, 2014
Frozen Fluffernutter Martini
When I was a little girl, there were only two kinds of kid-approved sandwiches and both involved peanut butter. The classic PB&J, of course, and the fluffernutter. That ingenious combination of sweet marshmallow fluff and salty peanut butter was perfect on its own or with the addition of some sliced bananas. OK, sometimes there was some chocolate hazelnut spread as well but the fluff was the constant.
Thursday, March 20, 2014
Springtime Martini
Hooray for the first day of spring! It may take a little while longer for the snow to melt and the cherry blossoms to flower but I'm happy nonetheless. This winter has lasted way too long and I'm ready to celebrate its departure.
Thursday, March 13, 2014
Lemon Meringue Martini
This drink dates back to when we finally broke down and bought our first bottle of whipped vodka. We scoffed at first but suddenly all these vodka brands were getting themselves whipped and fluffed and we couldn't fight it off anymore. So when we were browsing around the liquor store (yes, we are the kind of people who browse in liquor stores) one of those bottles went into our basket. Back home we approached it with some doubt as to whether it would taste sweet or artificial but, it was good. Really good.

Strawberry Thyme Gin Fizz
Last year, my good friend Heidi created a line of flavored syrups, called Not So Simple Syrup, and I had the pleasure of trying a few of them. She and I are bonded in our love of cocktails and natural flavors are important to both of us. She works with a local bottler and uses only fresh ingredients. I was impressed the first time I tried them.

Pecan Pie Martini (and Easy Maple Roasted Pecans)
Recently, the nice folks at Pinnacle Vodka sent me a new flavor to test. Brian and I already have quite a nice flavor collection but this is one that wasn't in our arsenal yet. That's pretty amazing, actually, since we have trouble passing a liquor store without wanting to browse and those sweet blue bottles always seem to call to us. We'll see a flavor we haven't tried before and we both look at each other and can almost see our cocktail making wheels spinning. Otherwise, we're normal people. Really.
Tuesday, January 28, 2014
We may order some wine with dinner and serve beer at summer outings but there's something so interesting about the perfect blend of ingredients in a fine cocktail. We do a lot of...um...sampling around here and we're always trying to achieve the right balance between sweet, tart and spirit.
Some of the recipes you'll find here over time will be our favorite versions of classics and some will be recreations of delights we found on our travels but most will be our very own creations. There may even be a review, here and there. So, welcome. We hope you'll follow us on social media and keep coming back for more rounds. Cheers!

Buy this make again?
Price and equipment6.0/10
It was very cheap to purchase about $1200 including rego.
Under the bonnet2.0/10
always breaking down even with a reco engine
How it drives6.0/10
It drove quite well, when it drove.
Comfort and practicality6.0/10
It was quite practical being a wagon, and very easy to park as it was small and had an all round veiw out all windows.
Servicing and running costs2.0/10
I think I replace everything on it and it still kept breaking down it cost me a fortune. On the upside it was very economical on fuel.
Aesthetics and styling4.0/10
it had a fantastic heater & air conditioner, and was quite nice inside, seats were uncomfortable for long trips as they tilted inward a bit. It was a bit cramped for someone with long legs.
Safety and security4.0/10
It didn't feel very safe as it was always having front end alignment issues, being a front wheel drive.
Quality and reliability2.0/10
totally unreliable I was constantly getting towtrucks
Overall verdict2.0/10
It was a money pit very unreliable, the body was good though and it was easy to find bits for because so many people were wrecking them. I still have a soft spot for it as it was my first car. It was always having electrical problems, I remember one night driving in a country area and loosing my headlights, very dangerouse and scary, especially having to get a stranger to pull over so I could follow them. I would put my high beams on and my car would indicate, I would indicate and high beams would start flashing it was as though it was posessed. I would never recommend anyone buy one of these cars in fact I think it is probably the worst car ever made, it did hoon though!

Alma Rodentia – For the Love of Rodents
The name comes from the latin word 'Alma', which means nurturing or mother, and Rodentia, the family that our domestic pet rodents belong to. My name is Lauren Paul and I'm a long time lover and advocate of the often overlooked pet rodent.
Almost a decade ago I founded North Star Rescue, a California non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and welfare of pet rodents who had nowhere else to go. From a small beginning of a few animals in my small apartment to an organization that helps animals all over California and beyond, my hobby rescue grew into a fantastic group which I have always been proud to work with.
Recently, I moved from California to Missouri and went from handling the day-to-day operations of my rescue group to helping the organization from afar with supporting technology. My days that were once filled with cleaning cages, medicating sick animals and socializing the shy ones became quiet. I continually thought of how I could find more ways of supporting my much-loved rescue group back in California.
Here came the idea for Alma Rodentia, a place where I would sell hand-made products geared towards small animals and their human companions. Profits from sales on Alma Rodentia help the animals of North Star Rescue, helping to fund the care costs for the rescue animals while they wait to find homes.
While the products here have been made based on my years of experience with pet rats, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters and chinchillas, small animals of many stripes and types will enjoy the products here including sugar gliders, ferrets, hedgehogs and more.
Thanks to the support I've received for Alma Rodentia's products and store, I've been able to expand this project of mine to include a blog for animal rescuers and small animal owners. The blog now contains information for new aspiring rescuers of animals to help them plan and start their own rescues, and I hope that passing on my years of experience, my trials and errors, and some stories from my time rescuing animals will help more people create a bigger impact for animals in need everywhere.

Durham Accident Leads to Serious Injuries
4/20/2012Comments (0)
Two children – although it is unclear which ones – were rushed directly to surgery at Duke Hospital immediately following the accident. No further updates have been reported on the condition of those rushed to the hospital as of the date of this posting.
The at-fault driver was killed in the accident, but that does not preclude the injured victims from seeking damages against the driver's insurance policy, if the driver had insurance coverage.
Unfortunately, many drivers take the risk and operate their vehicle without insurance. This can cause problems when they're involved in a wreck and injure and innocent person. If it turns out the driver did not have adequate insurance, the injured victims could consider filing a claim against their own policy to seek compensation through something called "uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage."
To learn more about this type of coverage, read this consumer report which was written by an experienced injury lawyer in North Carolina.

Unanswered: Image data type Size
I need to store images in MS SQL. I have the upload procedures and stuff but I'm missing the point about the image data type size.
It is supposed to be able to store up to 2Gb!!! but when I declare the data field image I can't specify the max size for the field and by default is 16 !!
16 bytes!! what can I do with that?
How can I insert a file?
Please help

The pointer to the data is the only thing stored in this database row. The data is stored elsewhere and can be up to 2G. You don't get to specify the size.

How can I Insert Data?
Thanks for the reply!
But that leads me to this question: How can I write the Insert Statement for the image field?
create table ImgTest (
imgID Int,
imgFName varchar(30),
imgFType varchar(30),
imgFile image
All I got so far is a procedure in vb net that tryes to insert a byte array asigned to parameter value:
Insert Into ImgTest Values (1, 'file.jpg', 'image file', @bytearray)
That's where I'm having trouble because it returns the error: "Data will be truncated" or something like that. I guess it's because it tryes to store the file in the 16bytes that are reserved for the pointer...
Oh.. I'm so lost..
Thank you!

"This is Spinal Tap" is one of the funniest movies of all time.
It's a parody of a heavy metal band "rockumentary" from the 1980s, and was released in 1984. The premise is that the filmmakers are following a successful group, Spinal Tap, except the tour turns out to be a rolling disaster, with sparse crowds and epic failures throughout. Along the way, Christopher Guest and crew poke fun at every 1970s rock and roll cliche imaginable, and the movie's full of now-classic lines like the one about the amps that go to 11. Even if you don't really know or care about heavy metal or rock movies, it's worth watching.
One of the classic scenes in the movie is this one, where the lead singer's girlfriend is trying to explain why the new album isn't selling well, and criticizes how it was mixed, saying "You don't do heavy metal in Dobly."

Pakistan: Christian leaders condemn blasphemy sentence
Christian leaders in India have condemned the death sentence handed down to a Catholic woman for blasphemy in Pakistan.
"It is a condemnable thing in the contemporary world," said Father Babu Joseph, spokesperson of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India.
Demanding repeal of such "archaic laws" as Pakistan's blasphemy provisions, Father Babu said that these were often used against the minority communities in some countries.
"We must attempt to purge our societies from such barbaric laws," he said.
A court in Pakistan on Nov 7 sentenced 45-year-old Asia Bibi to death, accepting the prosecution version that she had passed derogatory remarks about Prophet Mohammed.
She says she was forced to defend her religion after Muslim women on June 19, 2009 called her an "infidel" and Christianity a "religion of infidels" and pressurized her to embrace Islam.
Bibi and her children were allegedly beaten after the incident and the woman has been in jail for the past year.
Jyotsana Chatterjee, director of the Joint Women's Program of the Church of North India, said the death sentence given to the woman is "extremely against human rights and laws of judgement"
She appealed to the Pakistan government to immediately overturn the decision.
The All India Christian Council (AICC) has asked the Indian government to raise the matter with the United Nations Human Rights Council and Pakistan Government in a bid to save the woman's life.
Blasphemy laws in Pakistan have been misused in particular to persecute the tiny Christian community in that country, said John Dayal, AICC secretary general. He said Christian women in Pakistan have been subject to abduction, forcible conversion and trafficking.
