Beleza Natural - Download Presentation
Beleza Natural specializes in tightly-curled and wavy hair, and created treatments such as Super-Relaxante (Super-Relaxing) which makes this type of hair softer, giving it well- defined, longer curls. The company created an innovative process to apply the product - the process is similar to a factory production line: each client is treated by a number of different professionals in succession to create a faster and more efficient process, which means lower costs and lower prices).
With almost 70% of Brazilian women having hair considered frizzy in texture, Beleza Natural is filling an unmet need. Beleza Natural is not a traditional "chain" of beauty salons. It is in fact positioned for an unexploited niche market – women with tightly curled hair that usually came from the base of the pyramid – and offers specialized and unique services for customers who are not used to it. The company currently has 12 salons; a complete line of products ; a factory and a training centre; a Research and Development laboratory, and partnership with biotechnology universitites. Beleza Natural employs over 1,500 people. The co-founder Leila Velez is currently the Chief Executive.

Make Preschool Prep a part of your kiddo's day, and be amazed by what he or she can learn! These fundamental educational DVDs not only help children master letters, numbers, shapes, and colors, but they also help develop a positive learning routine that improves their chances of success in the first years of school. From engaging kids who struggle to pay attention and focus on learning, to stimulating interest through repetition and entertainment, Preschool Prep is the proven way to make early learning both effective and fun.
Preschool Prep Collection 10 DVD Pack
Preschool Prep Company DVDs have won over 25 national awards and are used in thousands of schools across the country!
Preschool Prep 4 DVD Pack
Children who watch Meet the Letters can easily learn to recognize upper and lowercase letters in a few weeks. Numbers, shapes, and colors can easily be learned in a few viewings. All 4 DVDs can be watched in both English and Spanish. You will be amazed at what your little one can learn!
Sight Words Prep 3 DVD Pack
Many words don't follow basic decoding rules and are taught in pre-k and kindergarten classrooms as "sight words". A new reader finds sight words very frustrating until they are memorized. A good reader will be able to instantly recognize sight words without having to "figure them out".
Phonics Prep 3 DVD Pack
Includes All 3 Meet the Phonics DVDs:
Instructional Videos
Letters in Spanish
Numbers in Spanish
Sight Words
Letter Sounds
"My three year old son has been watching the Meet the Sight Words DVD's and really enjoys them. The DVDs are absolutely wonderful! I've had a difficult time trying to get him to go over words with me and learn how to read after learning his alphabet, but the series keeps him entertained and interested. I was amazed when I brought home the DVD and heard my son say the words along with the video. Thank you for being so creative and actually making something that my son will watch and looks forward to!" -Christina S.
"The first thing my daughter asks for every morning while she's still half asleep is to watch Meet the Sight Words! When we first started watching the DVDs with her she could identify many of the colors, shapes, letters, and words after only watching them two or three times. Even though she's moved on from Meet the Colors and Shapes, she still asks to watch them because they are fun and engaging. It's exciting to see her progress and to be so eager to learn." -Nickie
"My son has severe autism and has quickly learned his sight words thanks to Meet the Sight Words series! Your vision on the way these concepts are presented is amazing and has captured my son. Thank you for helping him read!" -Yesie C.
"My five year old son has Autism Spectrum Disorder. We didn't understand his potential until recently when we discovered these DVDs. Once a non-verbal child, he is now talking and reading sight words, recognizing shapes and colors, and communicating more. My family and I deeply thank you for these inspiring tools. And yes, we were, and still are amazed at what our little one is learning!" -Angela

Frac sand is becoming a hot commodity since it's used in a process called hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking," to extract natural gas in other parts of the country.
But the process of extracting frac sand has been known to stir up dust particles that can cause damage to the lungs.
Still, a New Albin man wants the frac sand extracted from his 11-acre property in Allamakee County.
"It sure is getting everybody stirred up," said property owner David Mitchell.
Mitchell won't say how much money he expects for selling the sand.
"I want stability for me and my family," he said.
A consulting company submitted an application to Allamakee County on behalf of Mitchell, requesting a conditional use permit to mine the sand for ten years.
"Their estimates are that it wouldn't take them that long to mine the sand out and haul it away. They're looking at three to five years for this site...under idea situations," said Zoning Administrator for Allamakee County Tom Blake.
Blake said Mitchell's application has been withdrawn after the County recommended a traffic impact study, archeological study, cultural study and environmental impact study be completed.
"We expect them to resubmit their application in the next three months," said Blake.
Blake said the consulting company indicated there are at least three other properties in the county with frac sand.
He said each property would be looked at "on its own merits because the impacts of each site and each operation would be different."
Strange formation at bottom of Utah irrigation pond baffles farmers and scientists. John Hollenhorst reports.

Very Special Message: THE TIME IS SHORT!
We are on the verge of a major prophetic event as prophesied in the Book of Isaiah chapter 17. The prophecy is regarding the destruction of Damascus, the capital of Syria. All you need to do is google "syria civil war," for example, to come across the reports and images of the destruction that this war has left on this country. Although, cities like Aleppo and Homs have been literally destroyed, we are ever so close to seeing the fulfillment of this prophecy as war has come to Damascus and bombs fall on this city almost daily. This is one very obvious proof that the Bible is the perfect, infallible word of God. Thousands of years, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, our Lord revealed to us His word of Truth. He provided us with a glimpse, revelations of future history and how it would unfold in the end times. Wars, rumors of wars, pestilence, famine, nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom, you name it, it is happening and at great speed. The time is very short. It is your decision if you want to believe that the Bible is the True Living Word of God. I ask that you, at the very minimum, take the situation in Syria to realize that there is truth in this precious Book and that the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ is imminent. He will come like a thief in the night!!! Do not let yourself be caught off guard. Make sure you are walking and trusting in Christ by faith. Pray without ceasing that you may be found worthy of entering God's Holy Kingdom. Huge events are expected from this point forward. Something huge is on the Horizon. Please don't be like those who lived in the days of Noah and ignored the warnings. Get on your knees! Give your life to our Lord!!! Only He can save us since He is the ONLY way! My friends and family members, Isaiah 17 will soon be fulfilled. The Rapture of the Church can come at any moment. I pray that you do not ignore this message / warning. Take up your cross today and follow Christ. We don't know the day or hour. What we do know is that the time is very short! God bless you and May God be with us always!!! - Ozzie Roldan
The image below is the City of Aleppo, Syria! Extensive damage from the current, worsening war! Soon, however, Damascus, the Syrian Capital, will become a heap of ruins.
The Bible says in Isaiah 17 "This message came to me concerning Damascus: "Look, the city of Damascus will disappear! It will become a heap of ruins"
There are increasing events taking place around the world setting up the platform / stage for end times prophecies and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ! We don't know the day or the hour. But the language being used today by world leaders and the situation in regards to Israel and the Middle East surely indicates we are arriving at that most desired, blessed day in which the Lord comes for His Church. Be encouraged, edified and at peace. Our Lord is speaking to our hearts and our spirit. He is showing us how close we are to His coming. Therefore, receive a dose of STRENGTH and COMFORT from the Holy Spirit of God. Let us continue to look up for our Lord draws nearer everyday. Do not step off that Rock, that Foundation which is immovable. Be watchful with the full Armor of God. He is preparing us for a very special day! May the Joy of our Lord be upon you all. Soon, Heaven will be our permanent home where our God will be our Loving King! Blessed be our Lord and our God, Jesus Christ the Almighty!!!! - Ozzie Roldan
Matthew 24:37 "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man"
This site is dedicated to bringing you the latest and most current, up-to-date, news which point to end times prophecy and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ! We NEVER claim to know the day or hour in which our Lord will come for his Church. Only God the Father knows the day or hour. (Matthew 24:26) However, based on current world events, we do believe we are close to witnessing the Destruction of Damascus, Syria as prophesied in Isaiah 17, the War of Gog and Magog, ( Ezekiel 38/39 ), and at any given moment, the Rapture of the Church! (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18) Please take the time to bookmark our page and to share with others as well. We want all who visit this site to be aware of our Lords glorious, imminent return for His Church. The time is near! We pray and hope this website is a blessing to all who visit. There is POWER in the blood of Jesus Christ. He is our ONLY hope and change!
- Welcome -
Welcome to End Times Prophecy Watch! We are firm believers in that our Holy Christian Bible is the perfect, true and infallible Word of God! We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God who came to earth to die on a cross for the sins of the world. (John 3:16) We believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes unto the Father but by Him. (John 14:6) We believe that if, with your mouth, you confess the name Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you shall be saved. (Romans 10:9) When one accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior we believe the Holy Spirit indwells the new believer, He strengthens us, empowers us, teaches us, and guides us down the narrow road that leads us to God's most glorious Kingdom!
Based on current world events, specifically with events pertaining to God's Holy Nation of Israel, we also believe that we have entered the final end of days events spoken of in the book of Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Matthew and the Book of Revelation. It is hard to ignore the signs occuring before our eyes, especially for those with Biblical understanding, spiritual wisdom and discernment. The return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is at the door! Although we understand the fact that NOBODY knows the day or the hour except our Father in Heaven, with the current world situation and with all the signs with wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes in diverse places, world moral decay, etc. we know the great return of our Lord is imminent. Therefore, it is wise to say that TODAY is the day of salvation.

Overlorde SR
Medieval Metal
March 2012
Released: 2012, Heaven and Hell Records
Rating: 3.5/5
Reviewer: Robert Williams
OVERLORDE SR (Not to be confused with the "Return Of The Snow Giant" Overlorde) was formed in Fayetteville, North Carolina in the late seventies. In 1985 the band released the four song "Medieval Metal" demo and; according to their bio, shifted an impressive 10,000 units. Also of note would be Overlorde SR's appearance on the eighth installment of the "Metal Massacre" compilation released through Metal Blade Records. Heaven and Hell Records has dusted off this forgotten gem and released the demo as "Medieval Metal Too" alongside some other additional rarities and bonus tracks.
"Full Speed Ahead" opens Medieval Metal Too" with an excellent example of some early speed metal awesomeness. Vocalist Steve V. Sosa Jr. has a powerful mid-range delivery and is backed by a driving rhythm section and some tasteful dual guitar harmonies and soloing. "Keeper Of The Flame" (The original demo recording) is next and is a charging, galloping number with a catchy, albeit dated, chorus. The band would go on to re-record this track for the aforementioned "Metal Massacre" compilation and the re-recording sounds almost identical to that of the original performance wise, with slightly better production. "Enchantress Of The Night" is a pounding hard rocking fist pumper with all the lyrical cliches of the early eighties buttrocker scene and awesome dual guitar leads.
As for the bonus tracks, why in Odin's name did the band choose to cover "In The Year 2525" by the folk duo Zager and Evans is anyone's guess. I have always passionately hated that song and though the band do a convincing cover, I still can't get behind that song. "Knights Of The Realm" on the other hand, kicks all kinds of ass, with some great shredding and another memorable chorus. "So Be It" must have been quite a few years later in the game as the band take a heavier approach musically, beefing up the riffs with crunchier tones (I would guess early nineties).
In terms of production, right off the bat I'd point out that the quality of these recordings are fantastic! As far as the demo recordings are concerned, this material was very well recorded and mixed and the performances are all top notch. As with all Heaven and Hell Records releases, expect an enhanced CD with an mp3 label sampler and interactive content, deluxe liner notes, photos and credits.
I found this to be a really enjoyable listen but I definitely don't think it's for everyone's tastes. Having said that, if you're nostalgic and/or early RIOT, The Rods, Pentagram, and Virgin Steele make up your personal playlist you might do well to check this release out.

Me telling you that Pioli protects information isn't news. In fact we just call that the "Patriot Way" and go on because that's just how they do it. But what if it's for a different reason? Now take this as being 85% serious. I'm going to take these instances and exaggerate some of my points to a ridiculous conclusion but at least chew on it and consider it.
Pioli was signed as GM on January 13th, 2009. Herm Edwards was the coach at the time. Actually Herm Edwards was the coach for the next 10 days under Pioli. It then took another 10 days after that to get Todd Haley. In fact the Chiefs were the last that year to make a coaching change and hire a new coach. Maybe the reason that Herm wasn't fired quickly and a coach wasn't brought in sooner is because he doesn't know how to evaluate a coach. To be honest I think he wanted Josh McDaniels or Eric Mangini and when he couldn't get them to follow him he didn't really know how to evaluate the next head coach. I think he thought that the Patriots just follow each other and he was making another franchise like the one he just came from. Why wouldn't they just jump on board? Maybe this was an early sign.
The trade for Cassel was a decent move at the time. The problem though was that he was married to him for no apparent reason. He was trying to recreate the only thing that he knew which was the Patriot Way. Bringing in discarded Patriot's players speaks to the one way thinking that Pioli had. Then the draft came that year and it was a disaster. Now it wasn't a great overall player draft and trading down was harder with the old CBA but I'm not thinking impossible. What we thought for sure when Pioli signed on was someone who could get the most of out of the draft as far as number of picks. To my knowledge I remember one year when we moved down in the first 2 rounds since Pioli was here. I personally think that the draft is overvalued in many ways but I do believe in strength in numbers or limiting risk as it were and Pioli couldn't recreate what Bill Belichick made famous. In fact now that we have seen 4 Pioli drafts, it is pretty obvious who was pushing the buttons, pulling the triggers and setting the sights in New England. Pioli was probably just lucky to be in the room at the time.
Pioli said that it's just smart business to draft a QB every year. You can never have too much talent at the QB position. Not that I am going to hold him to that, but when you have drafted one in the last 4 years which was in the 5th round, isn't exactly sticking to plan. Now I think Pioli manages a little scared. He doesn't take big risk, only hires people he knows, and doesn't admit mistakes. It could be that he has no idea how to evaluate a QB or develop one. If there was ever a time to get a couple of young QBs and see if there was something of a future for any of them it was these last two years. If Pioli does pick QBs though he has to admit at some point he is wrong with Cassel and if that QB doesn't work out then he apparently isn't the draft guru that he perceives himself to be. Good teams continue to look for options when one isn't working and we probably have been the least creative team when he comes to finding a QB the last 4 years.
This week we see Stanford Routt released. Some reports say there was something that happened in the locker room while other people say that it was just time for a change. To me this reeks of a move made to appease the fans. The problem was that it was wrong move. Releasing though not very good, the second best CB on the team makes no sense from a financial, short term or long term sense. There is not a young CB on the team who is in need of playing time. There isn't some great depth at the position. If there was a fight in the locker room it probably is because the team is 1-7 and the coach is losing this team. Instead Pioli makes Routt this week's scapegoat and puts the label "change" on it.
Then we come back to Todd Haley who we will see Monday. The story came out that Haley was paranoid because he thought his office and phone was bugged. Employees were made to turn the shades in their offices during practice and he lectured everyone about the candy wrapper in the hallway. One could say that he micromanages but I think he just doesn't know what he's doing. Maybe he thinks as GM it also means he is in charge of the electric bill and wants the shades down to keep the cost lower. And maybe he thinks that part of his job includes custodian work. Or maybe he was never really a good GM at any point from when he started, to what will hopefully be his last year. He's throwing stuff at the wall and hoping something sticks. Fake it till you make it. His secret is out; he isn't a good GM. Never was and probably never will be.

Hernando County deputies say Ernest Dignall was so intoxicated, he almost hit a median with his car
HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla - A 65-year-old Hernando County man, who nearly crashed his car into a median Thursday, had a BAC of .231, deputies say.
Ernest Dignall, 65, of 5302 Ray Drive, Weeki Wachee, is now charged with driving under the influence.
Deputies say they spotted Dignall driving northbound on Commercial Way around 2:30 p.m. They noted in an arrest report that Dignall couldn't maintain his lane and then abruptly swerved nearly crashing into the median.
When deputies tried to pull Dignall over he reportedly ignored it but later pulled over.
When Dignall rolled down his window, deputies say they detected a strong odor of alcohol and noted Dignall was slurring and had bloodshot eyes.
Dignall was not able to provide his license, registration or proof of insurance when asked for it, deputies say.
Dignall reportedly told deputies he had "two rounds at Applebee's" when asked if he had consumed any alcohol.
Deputies say he later admitted to having four glasses of wine.
According to an arrest affidavit, Dignall agreed to field sobriety tests. Deputies say he stumbled and nearly fell several times. Then, they say he stated, "I can't do this, just do what you have to do."
While enroute to the jail, deputies say Dignall screamed profanities at the deputies and refused to get out of the car when they arrived.
Dignall was asked to provide two breath samples for the purpose to determine his blood alcohol.
Deputies say he agreed and blew a .231 and .218.
Dignall was previously convicted for a DUI in Hernando County back in May 2009.
His bond was set at $500.

Fasten your seatbelt. 2008 will be another interesting legislative session -- Richardson says ending property taxes is his top priority next year.
Georgia House Speaker Glenn Richardson says eliminating property taxes will be his top legislative priority next year.
"I believe we can put Georgia on the map," Richardson said. "It will be the biggest decision Georgia ever made, and the nation will follow. There is a rising call all over the country from people tired of property taxes."
To make up lost revenue, the Hiram Republican would increase the reach of the sales tax to include groceries and services - now exempt.
Any such measure, he noted, would have to be placed on the state ballot.
Democrats say his proposal would hurt the middle class and the poor.
[C]ar taxes [is] a property levy that would be wiped out under his proposal, Richardson said.
Under his plan, money would flow in from thousands of illegal immigrants who now pay no taxes on groceries and services.
Bert Brantley, Gov. Sonny Perdue's press secretary, said Perdue has no position on Richardson's idea but welcomes a discussion about it and other tax reform proposals.

As the trade deadline approaches the message boards are begging to heat up around the league, and especially on this site. We've discussed all of the usual names since day 1. We know that the Rockets like K. Martin, but are willing to move him if the right piece comes along, and they feel that Courtney Lee could adequately fill in as the starting SG. The same goes for Scola as there are concerns that at 31 he is beginning to slow down (I think thats overated, and more a result of Knee surgery in the offseason, and a rediculously condensed schedule in a lockout shortened season), and His contract could become a burden, and PPat is ready for a bigger role. The 09ers are all readily available for picks, or other yound promising prospects as well. Throw in Budinger and Dragic, and that means everyone on the team can be had except Lowery, Dalembert, Morris, and Parsons. And Im sure they're all readily available too for the right deal. But the question is how much should we value Lowery. I say, Lowery is the driving force for this current team, which is good, but definitely not great or mistaken for contenders in the west. Lowery is young, improved, hungry, has bargain contract, and his value around the league IMO is at its peak, which is EXACTLY why he should be the primary trade bait used to fetch Daryl Morey the piece or pieces he desires. My reasoning after the jump.
Its been mentioned in this space before about how Aaron Brooks' value was at an all-time high coming off that playoff series against LA in '09. We had a similar situation in my opinion at the PG position with Kyle Lowery waiting in the wings as the backup PG off the bench who showed the ability to completely change the course of the game, with his hustle and all out style of attacking the defense for 15-25 mpg. But the knock on him was would his style translate as a full time starter where he would have to slow down and play a more controlled game. Another question was could his body hold up with his rough style of play, and could he be a consistent enough threat from the perimeter to keep defenses honest. Morey loved Kyle, and knew that a descision would need to be made at that position sooner rather than later, and at the time popular thinking was that Brooks would end up being the most expensive option of the two. However Morey failed to capitalize on Brooks growing notariety around the league at that time, choosing instead to sign Lowery who's contract was due up one season earlier, then force Brooks to play out the final season of his contract, enter RFA, and let the market determine his worth, feeling that he could scare off potential suitors by threatining to match or collect more assets via a sign and trade. The decision backfired horribly for all involved (especialy AB) as Brooks' concerns over his contract affected his play to open the season, he then tore a ligament in his ankle, (which the team misdiagnosed or hid by saying it was a bad sprain) rushed back too early only to prove not ready and ineffective, and was unable to regain his starting spot from Lowery who was proving to be a legit starter in the league. The Rockets ended up unloading AB to the Suns for a package of Dragic and a 1st round pick (lottery protected). Not horrible, but definitely not the same value Brooks would have warranted that summer prior to the start of the season.
Now it's 2012 and behold, things seem to have come full circle. Lowery is the starter, Dragic is the backup FA to be who has at times singlehandily kept the bench and team afloat, and done so on the biggest stage (25 4th qtr pts in the playoffs, against the Spurs no less). Lowery has proven he is a very good (not great) pg, and the debate is can he continue to get better. My answer to that question is probably not. Lowery isn't overly quick, like Rose, Westbrook, or Rondo, he isn't close to the scorer that D Williams, Rose, and Westbrook are on a nightly basis, he doesn't run an offense the way CP3 can, getting to his spot and doing what he wants even when everyone in the building knows what is coming, and his best offensive move is a long pullup 3 as time expires more often than not.
Now I don't say this to slight Lowery because I love him just like the rest of us, and any coach, hell any player, would want him on their team. But lets not overinflate his value. He will not make multiple all star appearances like Wall and Irving seem destined to do once they slow down a bit and think the game more than simply relying on pure atheletic ability. And he is not changing the culture of a team the way Rubio has done in Minnesota, as a rookie in the same offense that Lowery played in. What Lowery is is a good young 2nd tier pg, the same way that KMart is a good second tier SG. They help every team but they aren't built to be the best players on a team. Together they get you right were the Rockets are (middle of pack playoff team/end of the draft lottery team). Lowery should be any more untouchable than KMart is, especially considering in todays NBA there is an overabundance of good pg (parker, felton, holiday, lawson, curry, LIN, Jennings, teague, ect.) in addition to the guards mentioned above. For comparisons sake, how many SGs would you want over KMart. This is not to say we SHOULD DEFINITELY value Kmart more, but its just for comparisons sake to make a case that Lowery isn't unreplaceable, and he should be offered in any trade that makes us better now and in the future just as everyone else on our team would be. Don't be surprised if Lowery is moved at deadline for that exact reasons, because Morey undoubtedly knows he blew it a couple years ago with AB. Factor in Llull likely coming over next season, and its even more of a possibility. Dragic can start in this league, if given the opportunity, ook at Lin, I think Dragic is better.
As for my opinion, will I be exstatic to land Gasol. Not really. But I will say, that a team with Dalembert, Gasol/Patterson (bench), Parsons/Bundinger (bench, Martin/Lee (bench), Dragic/Flynn (bench) is better offensively, defensively, and on the boards than one with Lowery and Scola. Gasol addition gives us more size, and a more consistent low post scorer, and IMO would secure us as a 2nd round or better playoff contender. Not sure that our current lineup could pass the 1st round or even hold on to the playoff spot we currently hold.
We all love Lowery, just as we loved Landry, Chuck, AB, and Battier, but those are pieces that can be replaced,NOT SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED UNTOUCHABLE.

No more slate?
That's a bit disappointing, I was quite a fan of the black and slate colour scheme.
We can probably assume this will trickle down through the rest of the product lines...
I wonder why they replaced it with 'Space Grey', rather than just create a new colour option? Curious move, since Black has arguably been the most popular colour.

Is a Retina iPad Mini really so desirable?
The title says it all. What do you think?
Personally, I don't think it would be that big of a deal if it didn't get a super pixel dense display. Barring the fact that the competition is doing the high dpi thing, I don't think there are really that many good reasons to push them. I feel like I'd rather have something last a super long time on battery. Apple has never really been shy about keeping the resolution down on it's MacBook Air line to save battery, why not on the iPad?

Homelessness and mental health linkages: review of national and international literature
While much has been written about homelessness over the last two decades there is no consistent definition of the term, although there is a general consensus among researchers that the term homeless refers to something more than just 'house-less-ness'. (Baum & Burnes 1993; Daly, 1996). This is reflected in the following excerpt:
"The term 'homeless' is actually a catch word, a misnomer that focuses our attention on only one aspect of the individual's plight: his lack of residence or housing. In reality, the homeless often have no job, no function, no role within the community; they generally have few social supports. They are jobless, penniless, functionless, and supportless as well as homeless." (Lipton & Sabatini, 1984, p.156)
This view of homelessness emphasises the person's alienation and lack of social support networks. (Baum & Burnes, 1993). This isolation is reflected in the high proportion of homeless people who have never been married and have little or no contact with friends or family (Lam & Rosenheck, 1999; Thornicroft & Breakey, 1990). A person alienated from society may not actively seek help or support from government and welfare agencies.
"A homeless person is without a conventional home ... She/he is often cut off from support of relatives and friends, she/he has few independent resources and often has no immediate means and in some cases, little future prospects of self support." (Council to Homeless People, 1988)
The concept of home is at the heart of the term homelessness. The term home has been used by various disciplines (sociology, anthropology, psychology, architecture, history, geography, philosophy) to define a structure, a place or dwelling, a family or group of people, a country or birthplace, an organization or building, a place within that defines a person's sense of self, a refuge from the outside world, a haven (Mallet, 2004). Within an Australian context the term home resonates as the Australian dream, a free-standing house with a backyard occupied by a single family. This is one view of home. Another view as expressed by indigenous people is not the dwelling but the land from which one comes, and from where one's ancestors camped and lived (Mallet, 2004). A phenomenological approach to understanding home acknowledges that home may be located in the physical place (house, apartment, institution) but it is also the lived experience that occurs in this space, the expression of social identity and meanings. In this frame homeless and home are not opposite terms but exists in a dynamic and dialectic relationship (Mallet, 2004).
This is encompassed in the following quote ...
"We make our homes. Not necessarily by constructing them, although some people do that. We build the intimate shell of our lives by the organization and furnishing of the space in which we live. How we function as persons is linked to how we make ourselves at home. We need time to make our dwelling into a home ... Our residence is where we live, but our home is how we live" (Ginsburg, 1998 p.31).
The relevance of this sentiment in understanding the issues faced by people who are homeless and have a mental illness will be demonstrated throughout this literature review. People are faced not only with a lack of appropriate shelter but also with the lack of social connection and opportunity for meaningful activity.
The definition of homelessness can also reflect approaches to resource allocation and program development to meet the needs of homeless people and the varying government philosophies, policies and priorities. Experience from overseas illustrates this point. In the USA, definitions of homelessness within social policies have been narrowed over time. Several decades ago homelessness encompassed all people living in substandard housing (Daly, 1996). More recent definitions refer to homelessness as a more basic lack of shelter, including people living in public and private shelters and institutions providing temporary accommodation (Daly, 1996). At the same time, public monies are being spent on large shelters and the provision of food, clothing, medical attention and other immediate needs rather than the provision of low-cost and adequate housing and providing supports to those vulnerable to becoming homeless (Rickards, Leginski, Randolph, Oakley, Herrell, & Gallagher, 1999).
In Australia, during the past decade two definitions of homelessness have emerged. One is a cultural definition of homelessness formulated from the work of Chamberlain (1999) and used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics to systematically enumerate the homeless population.
"Primary homelessness: people without conventional accommodation such as those who 'sleep out', or use derelict buildings, cars, railway stations for shelter."
"Secondary homelessness: people who frequently move from temporary accommodation such as emergency accommodation, refuges, and temporary shelters. People may use boarding houses or family accommodation just on a temporary basis."
"Tertiary homelessness: people who live in rooming houses, boarding houses on medium or long-term where they do not have their own bathroom and kitchen facilities and tenure is not secured by a lease."
"Marginally housed: people in housing situations close to the minimum standard"
(Chamberlain, 1999)
The above definitions reflect an interpretation of cultural standards in Australia about what is deemed 'adequate housing'. It would be generally accepted that a single person or couple could expect to have a least a room to sleep in, private bathroom and kitchen facilities, and some sort of secure tenure (Chamberlain, 1999).
The other definition below was developed for the purposes of the Supported Accommodation Assistance Act (1994) to determine who is eligible for services.
"A person is homeless if, and only if he/she has inadequate access to safe and secure housing. A person is taken to have inadequate access to safe and secure housing if the only housing to which a person has access:
There are several ways to sub-classify homelessness. People may be transiently, episodically or chronically homeless (Arce & Vergare 1984). In other words, homelessness may comprise a series of states that exist along a continuum of time and place, and entry to or exit from the homeless state is usually part of a process rather than a single jump. This notion of a continuum has been developed further in the recent work of Mackenzie and Chamberlain (2003) who coined the phrase 'homeless career'. According to this concept the person passes through various stages before developing a self-identity as a homeless person. The first typology is the youth career that focuses on teenagers forced to leave their family home before establishing themselves financially. They usually stay with friends, 'couch surfing', without their parents' permission. They tend to still be at school when the first episode of homelessness occurs, then with time they may drop out of school and enter a homeless sub-culture. The second typology is adult homelessness. Mackenzie and Chamberlain (2003) describe three pathways to entering adult homelessness:
- housing crisis career whereby poverty and accumulating debts, lead to a loss of accommodation;
- family breakdown attributed to domestic violence; and
- transition from youth to adult homelessness.
Thus while the definition of homelessness varies, there is a growing consensus that, at least within Australia, cultural standards of adequacy and acceptability are important definitional components. Further, homelessness is not viewed as a single state, but varies as a continuum over time and place.
Prevalence estimates vary over time, and this depends at least in part on the method used in the study, and on the definition of homelessness. In Australia in 1985, the Federal Department of Housing and Construction estimated that 40,000 people slept outdoors and 60,000 people were housed inadequately (Coopers, Lybrand & Scott, 1985).
Counting the Homeless (2003) estimated the number of homeless people in Australia using 2001 Census data. The study suggested that 100,000 people were homeless across Australia on Census night and that many of the homeless people move from one form of temporary shelter to another with:
- Nearly half, 49%, staying temporarily with other households;
- 14% were in improvised dwellings, tents or sleeping out; and
- Another 23% were staying in boarding houses (Chamberlain & MacKenzie, 2003).

I had the cellulaze procedure done 5 weeks ago from today and I'm still sore and very sensitive and tender to the touch. I keep reading how there's little to no downtime, but I was in horrible pain the first 2 weeks, and continue to feel a considerable amount of soreness and tenderness. I'm still unable to run without pain, and even walking can be uncomfortable if I'm walking at a faster rate. I'm starting to get really worried. What's considered normal?
Cellulaze with Sciton Laser. Is My Healing/Recovery Normal?
Doctor Answers (8)
Cellulaze healing
If you are still feeling slight pain and numbness this is normal. This is the typical healing process after having Cellulaze. Be sure to continue wearing the garment if necessary as well as taking it easy with exercising.
Cellulaze Recovery
Thank you for your question. With the Cellulaze procedure, a very small cannula is inserted under the skin. Cynosure's SideLaze laser fiber inside the tube delivers energy directly under the skin. A sciton laser is not used during Cellulaze. I would speak with your doctor about the specific treatment you received, and describe your side effects to him or her to determine if they are normal. Best of luck.
Cellulaze healing and Sciton laser
It is difficult to answer your question because it appears that you may have had a different procedure than what is described for Cellulaze. A Sciton laser was not part of the FDA approved study for treating cellulite. Cellulaze is a specific laser manufactured by Cynosure. Make sure you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

I would consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon that has experience with the Cellulaze procedure as he or she will be able to help you understand the healing process.
5 weeks post treatment
First and foremost, if you have worries or concerns about surgery or your recovery you should absolutely follow up with the surgeon that performed your procedure. Cellulaze in manufactured by Cynosure, so if you believe you had a procedure done with a Sciton device, it was not Cellulaze. Some patients do still have some swelling and soreness after 5 weeks but normal activities like walking shouldn't be problematic. Follow up with your surgeon and see if they may have some recommendations for you based on your exam.
Good luck~

Clarifacation of the type of procedure you had done
As mentioned, Cellulaze is the only FDA approved single treatment for cellulite. All of the 3 studies perfomed on this with expected reactions and healing are based on Cellulaze treatment alone. If you had something else, pleaswe have your doctor clarify exactly what you had and perhpas ask the question agian. Thanks
Cellulaze with Sciton Laser. Is My Healing/Recovery Normal?
Yes there are a subset of treated patients that can have your described issues. I believe around 15%. It could be based upon a few reasons: Inexperience of the surgeon, using higher energies to treat (in my case this is what I see), typical healing for this individual patient, or a combination. But what concerns me is the use of the Sciton Laser with the Cellulaze- this is a NON approved combination.
Cellulaze treatment
You mentioned that you had "Cellulaze with a Sciton laser". I'm sorry, but the FDA approved Cellulaze does NOT utilize the Sciton laser. Did you really have the Cellulaze procedure or some other laser procedure? Please talk to your plastic surgeon who performed your procedure about your experience and concerns.

The board's blatant attempt last year to introduce religion -- in the guise of intelligent design -- into a science class received a stern constitutional slapdown yesterday by U.S. District Court Judge John E. Jones III.
Jones was unsparing in his criticism of the former board members who attempted to insinuate their personal religious beliefs into a high school biology class.
Ruling that it was "unconstitutional to teach intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in a public school science classroom," the judge also chastised those members "who so staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions in public" for lying "time and again" on the witness stand in a federal trial to disguise their religious purposes behind a smokescreen of intelligent design.
Most of the school board members seated last year when the intelligent design statement was issued have been replaced by members of the Dover CARES coalition who claimed a board majority in the Nov. 8 elections.
Judge Jones in his 139-page ruling said the "citizens of the Dover area were poorly served by the members of the Board who voted for the ID policy."
The judge was being too kind by several degrees. In violating the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the board members -- especially those who lied on the witness stand in a pathetic attempt to defend their insistence on teaching creationism along with valid science -- threw their oaths as public servants to uphold the law out the window. In demanding that ninth-grade biology students be informed that alternatives existed to the Darwinian theory of evolution, the purely religious motives of creationism supporters was more than obvious. They encouraged students to keep an open mind, while offering intelligent design as the only alternative.
That's a religious view and a clear violation of the Constitution.
Sadly, the judge noted that those board members who voted to include the intelligent design statement in the curriculum change "testified at the trial that they had utterly no grasp of ID." Jones called this "striking ignorance" an "unfortunate theme" of the case.
The lesson for the Dover Area School District is not yet complete, as the court has yet to set damages in the case.
But the victory for common sense and the good sense of the Founding Fathers should be celebrated -- the judge's ruling permanently bars the use of intelligent design policy in "any school" within the district.
The healing of the community divided by the board's actions already is under way. The burden now falls upon the newly constituted school board to ensure that continues.
Meanwhile, if any of the former board members who loosed this chaos upon the community happen to view a fossil somewhere in the sheltering rock, it would be poetic justice.

Cancer Care for Dying Patients On The Rise
Conflating disease treatment with patient care against a backdrop of a fee-for-service reimbursement system is leading to more aggressive treatments for terminally ill oncology patients, research conducted for the Dartmouth Atlas Project suggests.
Cancer care for seniors at the end of life has become more aggressive—and less in line with patients' desires—than it was between 2003 and 2007, according to the latest edition of the Dartmouth Atlas Project [PDF].
There are, however, some encouraging signs, noted the project's David Goodman, MD, co-principal investigator, said during a news teleconference Wednesday.
Medicare beneficiaries with advanced cancer overall spent less time in the hospital and more received hospice care between 2010 and 200 –2007, the two periods studied. "But even as hospice care was increasing, most of the additional hospice days (in 2010) were in the final three days of life, a period when it's really too late to provide much benefit to the patient and family," he said.
Additionally, the average number of days these patients spent in the intensive care unit increased by 21% and 27% more patients received care from 10 or more physicians, between the two study periods, "generally considered a sign of fragmentation of care."
But the most important finding from the latest analysis, Goodman said, was the wide variation, or what he describes as the "striking differences in the pace and even the direction of change across hospitals."

CATEGORIES Movies, CinematicalThe million dollar fantasy question: Who should play Roland Deschain?
Last month we got a Christmas casting treat -- Viggo Mortensen, Hugh Jackman, Daniel Craig and Jon Hamm were eager to star in Ron Howard's adaptation of Stephen King's sprawling western fantasy series, 'The Dark Tower.' As Jacob Hall pointed out, it was easy to whittle it down to the real competitor -- Hamm seemed a little off for the role and Jackman and Craig are two actors who are already leading active franchises.
So that leaves one grizzly cowboy, Mortensen, behind. But according to new reports -- he's not the top pick for the spot. Javier Bardem is.
Page Six reports that "agents are tripping over themselves to land their clients coveted roles in what promises to be a blockbuster film and television franchise." Their sources claim that Bardem is leading the pack to play Deschain, with Mortensen a "close second."
A worn, damaged and heroic gunslinger, King is said to have compared Roland to -- no surprise -- Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name. Naturally, that would make Mortensen the go-to guy, but if Bardem is in the lead, chances are they've got visions of Anton Chigurh dancing in their heads.
As planned, 'The Dark Tower' will offer up a new Hollywood format. Since King's series expands over many books, this won't be a 'Lord of the Rings' type epic where mass amounts of words are whittled into three massive features. Instead, three feature films will be padded with two television seasons that will bridge the gap between films. (The second series will show Deschain as a young man, while the final film shows him as an older man) Both the films and television will use the same cast (with some room to play with, since the second series will feature our hero as a younger man), so this will be a major commitment for anyone who chooses to play along.
Is Howard on the right track with Bardem and Mortensen? Who would you cast as Roland Deschain? And is the most ambitious Hollywood project of all time?

Bay City News
Local water utilities in Sonoma and Marin counties have launched a public education campaign to conserve water during the current drought.
The Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership will use local and regional publications in the North Bay, radio stations and online media to educate the public about outdoor water conservation tips.
The humorous and creative advertisements include a photo of "The official car of 2014" -- a dirty vehicle with "Don't Wash Me" written on the back window.
A broom sweeping leaves on the ground is "The official hose of 2014" and an eye dropper is labeled "The official drip irrigation of 2014."
"We hope this campaign will create a buzz in the local coffee shops and get our community to not only talk about saving water, but take action by following some easy water saving tips.
Every drop of water matters at this point," said Jake Mackenzie, a Rohnert Park City Councilman and Chairman of the Water Advisory Committee.
The Marin Municipal Water District and the Sonoma County Water agency are among 10 agencies involved in the Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership.
The slogan of the unusual wintertime public outreach efforts is "The Drought is On. Turn the Water Off."
The Sonoma County Water Agency, which manages water supply storage within Lake Mendocino and Lake Sonoma, said 2013 was one of the driest years the county has seen in 120 years, and no significant rainfall is forecasted through mid-January.
The lakes are at record low levels. Lake Mendocino is at 38 percent of water supply capacity and Lake Sonoma is at 67 percent.
Water releases from Lake Mendocino are being managed by the State Water Resources Control Board, which has allowed the Sonoma County Water Agency to reduce flows in the upper Russian River to preserve water storage during the drought.
The water level in Lake Mendocino is reliant on rainfall and water diverted from the Potter Valley Project, which has been reduced by more than half.
The lake is the key drinking water source for Ukiah, Hopland, Healdsburg and Cloverdale, and it supplies water to the Sonoma County Water Agency's Russian River Water Supply system.
The water releases from Lake Mendocino also are crucial to Chinook salmon and steelhead trout in the Russian River in the fall and winter.
Lake Sonoma is four times larger than Lake Mendocino and can supply multiple years of water during the current drought. It is the source of the majority of the Sonoma County Water Agency's supply.
The water supply situation appears less dire for two other Bay Area water districts.
The Mokelumne River watershed in the Sierra Nevada is the source of 90 percent of water to the East Bay Municipal Utility District, and because of heavy rains last year, EBMUD reservoirs are still two-thirds full.
Precipitation since July in the Mokelumne River Watershed was 4.5 inches, or 26 percent of average.
EBMUD could declare a drought emergency if storms do not replenish the reservoirs this winter, the district said.
The 10 local reservoirs on the Santa Clara Valley Water District are at 33 percent capacity, which is 66 percent of the 20-year average, spokesman Marty Grimes said.
Some of those reservoirs are very low and creeks may dry up, Grimes said.
Groundwater storage accounts for about half the district's supply and levels are in the normal range, Grimes said.
The groundwater is a back-up supply for use during multiple fry years, Grimes said.
Fifty-five percent of the district's water supply is imported from sources that include the Delta and the Hetch Hetchy water system, Grimes said.
The Santa Clara Valley Water District has an ongoing conservation program that includes using gray water from clothes washers for irrigation, Grimes said.
"It's still very early in the winter," Grimes said.
"We'll be going before the district board on Feb. 11 to give a water supply outlook based on whether it will be a dry winter or whether we'll get more rain," Grimes said.
The Department of Water Resources has informed 29 public agencies they will receive only five percent of the slightly more than four million acre-feet of water in 2014.
The agencies supply more than 25 million state residents and more than one million acres of irrigated farmland.
The DWR's first survey of the winter on Jan. 3 found the snowpack's statewide water content at about 20 percent of average for this time of year.
The water content of the snowpack in 2012 also was 20 percent of the historical average, and the readings this month and last year are the driest on record, the DWR said.

Comments about Garter Tights:
I was so excited to get these, had seen them and finally decided I would go for it. We got a store in GTF MT and I purchased them. First time I wore them three runs from the crotch appeared and ruined them. I was so disappointed as I am not hard on antyhing that is nylon. Love the thickness in the less in the leg and top of them. Great looking, nice on but flawed I would have to guess. With out the flaw I would have given them a 5, but I feel more like a 1 since they are ruined.

Microsoft's dramatic curtailing of such policies as Xbox One's online DRM and always-on Kinect have provoked a certain amount of scorn from some quarters, it's fair to say. Others, however, see these "One80s" as evidence that the manufacturer genuinely cares about the core games enthusiasts it's often accused of abandoning. Among the latter is Lionhead's creative director Gary Carr, who spoke at length to OXM on the subject in an interview you'll find in issue 103.
The issue in question goes on sale tomorrow - subscribers should be receiving their copies now, assuming they haven't received them already. Here's a snippet from my conversation with Carr, who insists that Microsoft isn't just a bunch of "dudes in suits".
"Talking about the E3 briefing, I think there is a connection to be honest," he said. "A lot of people sometimes think that Microsoft is too far removed from what people are saying and what people want, but I don't think that's actually true.
"The fact that Microsoft turned round and changed its Xbox One online policy within a week - is that a bad thing? I think that's a great thing. I think it is listening. It turned around and admitted 'we got some things wrong, we've heard you and we've changed our policy on that'."
Carr echoed the often-expressed view that gaming's future is digital-only, but conceded that forcing the switch-over wasn't wise.
"I think it's obviously reaching for the future, and that's what Apple and all these guys want to do, but you can't always be sure when people are ready for change, or whether it's the right change," he said. "I think the fact that Microsoft turned around and changed what it showed at E3 shows that the team are not as aloof and removed as their reputation suggests."
He had warm words for Microsoft Studios corporate vice-president and Lionhead's new boss John Needham in particular. "I know quite a few of these guys. Phil Spencer's great, really down to earth, and John Needham who I'm working with - I think these people aren't so distant from you or I. I think the future of Microsoft's exec team is in good hands with people like that."
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced his decision to retire last week, following the departure of Interactive Entertainment Business president Don Mattrick. The company has now consolidated its various entertainment divisions under Windows co-head Julie Larson-Green.
It's not clear how much of this will affect what happens at ground-level in the games division. Personally, I've been quite impressed by Spencer's career at the helm, mainly for his repeated references to Exciting Things like Crackdown 3, among other possible Microsoft reboots. Check out this chat about Xbox One exclusives for more on that front - and watch out for the new issue tomorrow.

Sequester? Siesta!: Your government at work
A friend suggests that the idea to in effect sequester the Congress itself ought to be front and center in this story.
Maybe, he says, the budget-cutting should BEGIN with Congress. Since clearly neither the House nor the Senate is doing its job, or particularly wants to even be in Washington for the heavy lifting, perhaps they are unnecessary. Ya think?
President Obama clearly doesn't care about the public in all this. His administration has made no attempt to deal rationally with this latest self-manufactured crisis. Here were its first moves:
Free from jail illegal immigrants who were bound for deportation.
Tell air travelers they would be delayed a minimum of 90 minutes due to fewer TSA workers and FAA tower personnel.
Tell state and local school departments that teachers would be cut, or not.
And our personal favorite, and a really, really serious threat to the nation: warn NASCAR fans that U.S. Air Force acrobatic flyovers at a racetrack near you may have to be stopped.
Oh, the humanity.
Meanwhile, the President burns up jet fuel and millions of dollars in every farflung appearance he has been making to campaign for his plan to cut the ?budget: raise taxes yet again.
Whatever patch job is found for this latest spectacle, don't expect it to last. The next "deadline" of March 27, for once again raising the debt ceiling, looms. The groundhog didn't see his shadow, and yet it looks like there will be no early end to the maddening Washington winter.

This season on Californication, Hank Moody's life, like the economy, is officially turned upside down. The lack of writing assignments forces him to get a real job as a college professor while trying to keep wild child Becca on the straight and narrow with Karen still working in New York. Can he learn to keep regular hours and inspire the next generation of scribes? First, he'll have to stay on the right side of the dean of students, the dean's wife and a teacher's assistant who's immune to his charms... Meanwhile, Charlie's returned to the mainstream -- he's ditched the porn world for a job at a legitimate agency. His only problem is a boss/agency head who's more interested in him than her clients (hello, Rick Springfield!). It would all be manageable with Marcy by his side, but she's still bitter over his affair and is even back on the dating scene, which is further complicated since the two are platonically sharing the house - who can afford a divorce in a recession?

TRAVEL - ROADS: KENT - J5-J6/M25 one lane closed
One lane closed and queueing traffic due to accident on M25 clockwise between J5 M26 / A21 and J6 A22 / B2235 (Godstone). In the roadworks area. Travel time is around 50 minutes. Lane one closed, adding to the usual morning delays through the roadworks.
