BRONZE WINNER: Best Home Theater $25K-$50K
One of the easiest places to install a theater is in a basement. That wasn't the case in this particular home, however. A sloped floor would throw a huge monkey wrench into the subterranean design plans, as would a brick chimney, and several steel support beams. After plugging all of these roadblocks and room dimensions into a special computer program, the custom electronics professionals (CE pros) at The OneTouch House, Victoria, British Columbia, decided that the best solution was to rebuild the room, essentially constructing a completely new structure within the existing boundaries.
(Click here to view additional photos.)
For this, The OneTouch House would need the help of a seasoned home builder, G.E. Miller Builder and Contractor, who recommended constructing two large wooden platforms and placing them near the back of the room where the floor angled downward. Although this helped even out the floor, it also shortened the ceiling height to about 6-1/2 feet, leaving The OneTouch House no choice but to place the CinemaScope-size screen at the other end of the room were the ceiling height was a more comfortable height of 7-1/2 feet.
Next on the contractor's to-do list: hide the brick chimney. Located on the front wall, right where the screen would go, it was a feature that somehow needed to disappear. A false wall built over the chimney did the trick and provided a 2-foot-deep storage area for some of the A/V equipment and the back sides of the front three of the seven surround-sound speakers.
Structural beams, meanwhile, where concealed behind a newly constructed ceiling and side and rear walls.
The space between the old and new walls gave The OneTouch House a place to tuck in the remaining four speakers, as well as some much needed acoustical materials. Even with the new walls and flooring placed over the existing concrete shell, sonically, the room was still very "live," explains manager of installations Martin Engelbrecht. When a room is live, the sound tends to echo and distort. The acoustical materials minimize those problems by absorbing some of the harsh audio reflections.
One piece of equipment the team wasn't able to tuck in anywhere was the Panasonic projector. It hangs from the ceiling at the back of the room, "far enough behind the back row seats so that no one bumps their head on it," says Engelbrecht. A vent in the ceiling just above the projector extracts warm air from the unit to prevent the unit and the room from becoming too warm. "G.E. Miller's team worked very hard to ensure the fan was not an intrusion by placing the fan (via a ventilation tube) as far away as possible from the ventilation vent in the wall. They then taped the exterior of the ventilation pipe to further muffle the sound. By installing a control knob on the fan, they allowed me to set it at a level that keeps fresh air in the room without being noisy at all," says the homeowner, who can turn the ventilation fan off and on via a wireless Control4 touchpanel, just as he can with the A/V equipment. All the basic commands are at their fingertips, as well as special setups (see below) that help erase all memories of the room's previous life as an odd-shaped, concrete storage bunker.
Magnificent Macros
As important as the gear that makes your home theater hum, are the commands that make it easy to operate. Commands referred to as "macros" are particularly helpful. Custom-programmed into a remote or touchpanel by a custom electronics professional, a macro button when pressed launches a string of instructions to several pieces of equipment. MOVIE is a macro commonly used in home theaters, which, depending on your needs and entertainment system, could rev up the video projector, activate the A/V receiver and dim the lights. In this theater, the owners can launch the following macros from their Control4 touchpanel: Prepare, Good-bye, Watch movie, 16x9 aspect ratio.

I studied tons of Melatonin, looking for Timed Release, as well as the 3mg dosage, and then also without horrible fillers and junk. Decided on the Natrol. It's ingredient list wasn't too objectionable to me...as some had filler ingredients that I try to stay away from. First, you should study up on Melatonin. It's not just for sleeping. It's an immune system and inflammation regulator amongst many things. Some doctors reports I read say they have treated and eliminated autoimmune disease in their practices with it.... Anyway, 3 mg is considered the max dose and the dose I wanted to try. If you get headaches or depression, then you need to drop to 2 or 1 mg. But 3mg has been perfect for me. Knocks me out and I am sleeping ALL night. Oddly, I go to sleep on my back and wake up on my back...never moving. I also don't remember dreams, which I miss.... Melatonin is apparently known for making you dream crazy dreams but I am sleeping so hard I don't remember any dreams at all. Also, I used to get up 2-3 times at night to urinate. Now, the melatonin makes me sleep through the full bladder....and so I awake with a really full bladder... but at least I am sleeping and can tell a difference in my energy level during the day. Timed release is key.... Also, be careful, the first night I took it, I did get up to the bathroom and was so woosy I nearly fell over. It wasn't a drunk feeling; it was an equilibrium feeling... I do take it right before lying down though, because if you take it earlier and it hits before you are in bed, it makes my eyes so heavy and tired, it's like a headache. So I'd rather take it and immediately get in bed and let it hit me there.
The best time-release melatonin I've tried

This really does seem to be released over 8 hours, as the packaging states. I can recommend this for people who find that ordinary melatonin gets them to sleep, but they may still wake up before they would like to.
Helps a lot!

I have terrible insomnia by means of waking up in the middle of the night. Most of the time this keeps me asleep till at least 6:30. I don't feel as sluggish or drowsy in the morning as with other products. Highly recommed this one.
Good night's sleep

Well I have only used 4 times in the 3 weeks since I bought it, and so far it has worked well. I noticed that dimming the lights and relaxing an hour before sleep drastically improves the full 8 hour dose without interruption. It worked well. No weird feeling in the am, just woke up feeling refreshed and awake. Not groggy and worn out when I toss around on those nights I can't seem to get tired enough to just sleep all the way through. Will continue to use on an as needed basis. A+

Being a normal dose slow release supplement suppose the aim of this is to keep you asleep once you do manage to get to sleep. If you do, that is, because this pill does not help you fall asleep at all. I overlooked that it contains Vit B aswell. That wakes me up! Who's bright idea was this? Avoid.

Ever fancied sitting in the Earl of Grantham's armchair or sipping from the Dowager Countess of Grantham's bone china tea cup? It seems that fans of 'Downton Abbey' over in the America certainly do, as US network NBC Universal, which bought the rights to the costume drama is set to launch a collection of Downton-inspired clothing, homeware and furniture across the pond. In an interview with CNBC the show's executive producer Gareth Neame revealed that the company 'will be working across an entire range of products coming out this year. From fashion, apparel and homeware and furniture to wallpapers, beauty products and stationary.'
This is not a new concept for NBC who already merchandise a lot of their big shows including 30 Rock, The Office and The Voice, but where as those lines tend to focus on bobbleheads and t-shirts, it sounds like the Downton collection will offer customers the opportunity to buy into the Grantham-Crawley family lifestyle. It's a wonder, given the success of the show in America, that the creators have waited this long to tap into its retail potential. Neame says that NBC were 'extremely cautious' and didn't want to launch products in case viewers lost interest after a couple of seasons. He explained: 'In retail terms, the first series launched the program and the brand, the second year ratified it and the show didn't even hit its high point in the U.S. until this year when series three ended in the US. It's very rare for a British drama to have this much retail potential and merchandizing value.'
There's no word yet on whether the range will be available here in the UK, but it would be worth a transatlantic flight to fill our own country houses pokey flats with 'Downton Abbey' paraphernalia.
Take a look at the gallery above for some of the Downton goodies we'd love to get our hands on.

Still using the speakers attached to your TV? That's probably annoying. Even if you have the most high-tech HDTV, those speakers usually suck some of the fun out of the experience. That's probably why so many people are adding in soundbars.
A soundbar is an easy, compact way to boost sound for your everyday TV viewing. Today, it's also pretty affordable. We found Paul's TV selling the Panasonic SC-HTB350 Soundbar and Wireless Subwoofer package for just $199.99. This is $100 off the list price, and also includes free shipping.
The 3-piece package includes the soundbar, a wireless subwoofer, and a small box that links the two. That soundbar can be placed right under your flat-panel TV—or you can actually split it in half. No power tools are necessary; just remove the hardware in the center and you have the option to place two individual speakers vertically.
Other features on this compact set include Clear Mode Dialog for natural sound, an anti-jitter digital amp, Audio Channel Return (ARC), and a total of 240 watts. Another nifty feature is that the SC-HTB350 has Bluetooth support, so you can stream music from your compatible smartphone or tablet right to the sound system, without wires or dongles.
It doesn't have any HDMI options, but the Panasonic SC-HTB350 does include an RCA input and two optical inputs. It also supports Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS audio processing formats.

If you are the parent of a young child, you may be confused about the safety of immunizations. You may have heard that vaccines cause life-threatening side effects or can lead to other diseases. Or you may have read that vaccines are not necessary anymore.
According to the CDC, the United States has the most effective and safest vaccines. U.S. law requires that several years of product testing for effectiveness and safety occur before a vaccine can be licensed. Once in use, vaccines are constantly monitored for safety and effectiveness, but they can cause side effects like other medications.
Although many diseases no longer exist or are rare in the United States, they are common in other parts of the world. Because traveling is so widespread, these diseases can still be passed on to those who are not vaccinated. This has happened in the past. A drop in vaccination rates led to an epidemic of measles in the United States between 1989 and 1991, causing several deaths and cases of permanent brain damage. And Japan, Sweden, and Britain suffered outbreaks of pertussis (whooping cough) in the 1970s and 1980s after their vaccination rates declined. Because no vaccine is perfect, a drop in vaccination rates can increase the risk for disease within the community, particularly in infants or other children who are too young or unable to receive their vaccinations. This has happened in the U.S. with pertussis. The result has been the tragic deaths of a number of babies.
Most of the side effects from vaccines are mild, such as a sore arm or a low fever. These side effects rarely need any medication or other treatment. More serious side effects, such as a seizure or a severe allergic reaction, can occur but are extremely rare. In fact, the risk for such serious side effects is lower than the risk of your child catching the disease if he or she is not vaccinated. If you have any questions about a specific vaccine and your child's risk, talk with your child's health care provider.
A study published in the Lancet in 1998 suggested a link between autism and the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. At the time it was published, this study was widely disputed by medical experts, who claimed the research was flawed. Since then, other larger and more well-controlled studies have found no connection between autism and the MMR vaccine. And, in a follow-up issue of Lancet, 10 of the 13 authors of the 1998 study published a retraction, stating that the data were insufficient to draw a link between vaccinations and autism. The doctor who did the original research has been stripped of his license to practice medicine because of unethical behavior, largely related to this study. Although the causes of autism remain unclear, there is no reliable research that connects this condition to any vaccine.
According to the CDC, scientific studies and reviews, including those by the AAP and the Institute of Medicine (IOM), have not found a relationship between vaccines and autism. The doctor who did the original research has been stripped of his license to practice medicine because of unethical behavior, largely related to this study.
Some people have also questioned whether childhood vaccinations may lead to an increased risk for type 1 diabetes. A 10-year study of 739,634 children, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found no difference in the risk for type 1 diabetes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
SIDS is every parent's worst fear. According to the recommendations developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics to help reduce the risk for SIDS and other sleep-related deaths in infants up to 12 months old, making sure that your child is fully immunized can help reduce the risk for SIDS by 50 percent. A decrease in SIDS cases may also be because more parents and caregivers put infants to sleep on their back and limit their exposure to tobacco smoke.
Vaccines often contain additives to help make them safer. One additive, thimerosal, was removed from nearly all childhood vaccines because it contained small amounts of a form of mercury called thimerosal. Although no studies have shown any health problems from thimerosal in humans, the IOM recommended that it be removed from vaccines until further studies could examine any potential health risks. There is currently no evidence that thimerosal causes mercury poisoning or any other health problems.
A study published in the December 2003 issue of Pediatrics researched additives and preservatives that are used in the production of or added to childhood vaccines. The researchers concluded that none of these additives had been found to be harmful. The only risk was for children who had severe allergies to eggs or gelatin.
Although the general medical community believes in the safety of vaccines, parents should get information from a variety of trustworthy sources before making vaccine-related decisions.
Reliable sources of information include the AAP and the CDC.

On February 3rd, the Bertelsmann Stiftung and the World Future Council (WFC) jointly held the second out of a set of three debates in the European Parliament dealing with the issue of "Rethinking Well-being. How to keep Europe on the Sustainability Track." The panel series is hosted by three Members of the European Parliament: Rebecca Harms, Jo Leinen, and Sirpa Pietikäinen. At a first meeting in the middle of January participants had discussed the need to go beyond the current GDP-related growth paradigm and to develop a more comprehensive and sustainable understanding in which ways future economic models should contribute to human well-being. Taking this debate as a starting point the second panel focused on most recent tools and indicators to define and measure the well-being of societies.
Chaired by Thomas Fischer, Head of the Brussels office of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, and opened by Dirk Hendricks, Head of the WFC's EU liaison office, the four speakers – Enrico Giovannini, President of the Italian Statistical Institute and member of the Stiglitz Group, Jakob von Uexküll, Founder of the Right Livelyhood Award and of the WFC, Raoul Weiler, President of the Brussels EU Chapter of the Club of Rome, and Willy de Backer, Senior Policy Adviser for Global Footprint Network and Founder of the 3E Intelligence Project – also discussed the question of how to increase the political impact of measurement tools aiming to capture and assess sustainable development in our changing world. Among the participants attending the event were MEPs Rebecca Harms from Germany, Vittorio Prodi from Italy, Claude Turmes from Luxemburg and Indrek Tarand from Estonia as well as Ziga Turk, Secretary General of the EU's Wisemen Group "Horizons 2030" chaired by Felipe Gonzalez.
In his introductory statement Enrico Giovannini recalled the five main findings of the Stiglitz Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress: First of all, a shift from production to income that flows to households is needed. Secondly, the Commission focused on the multidimensional concept of well-being, and not happiness, comprising several specific elements and the cross-cutting dimensions equity and sustainability. Thirdly, subjective as well as objective measures are important. Fourth, according to the Stiglitz Commission a major concern for the future is the question of how to merge democracy and information age. Finally, as follow-up to the presentation of its report, the Commission is currently organising roundtables all over the world to bring together relevant stakeholders and to define what well-being means in different national contexts.
Jakob von Uexküll started his presentation with the observation that quantitative changes in the economic system have become qualitative changes. From his viewpoint, mankind is confronted with the challenge to choose between sustainable "citizen values" and non sustainable "consumer values". He then introduced the idea of a trusteeship economy. In particular, concerning corporate taxes, the obligation to maximise profit should be overcome. Instead, taxes should target abuses of our planet, focussing on resources rather than income. As von Uexküll stressed people are increasingly aware that the externalities of GDP growth are resulting in the destruction of human livelihood. Accordingly, he fiercely pleaded for a stronger involvement of civil society in policymaking.
Concentrating on solutions beyond the traditional GDP paradigm, Raoul Weiler pointed out that we are experiencing not only limits to growth but also limits to waste. According to him the most urgent issue we have to address is the restricted capacities of our planet. Particularly the developed world ought to accept the realities of another "Copernican Shift" which is currently taking place. We should do away with our predominant, traditionally anthropocentric world vision as fast as possible and learn to accept a new, eco-centric one. In practice, this could even imply for people living in advanced societies that they would have to accept "de-growth" as a new economic paradigm.
As Willy de Backer stressed it is high time to move beyond the "GDP and Beyond" debate. He criticised that the narratives on sustainability had not sufficiently been taken up by the media so far and that there was no real impact on political decision makers. While many reports and measurement instruments are on the table, the real question stayed unaddressed: How much energy, materials and waste sinks do we actually dispose of on our planet? Although they may be rather helpful to develop new narratives of sustainability and well-being, the recent debates on statistical indicators run, according to de Backer, risk to overshadow the much more relevant debate on the limits of the planet. Since we cannot afford to waste time, we should rather focus on convincing the "movers and shapers" in politics and business that they need to think and decide in terms of a limited "carrying capacity" of the earth.
During the discussion, Mr de Backer warned the audience that the Europeans were losing the battle in green technologies against China. Mr Giovannini called it a mistake that we still adhere to the term "sustainable development" since it is based on altruistic assumptions. As an alternative, we should concentrate on propagating the concept of "vulnerability" of our societies which would also increase the pressure on policymakers to act. Mr Weiler supported this argument by pointing out the dramatic effects of climate change on human beings. In the same context, Mr von Uexküll stressed that the transition to renewable energies could be speeded up if there were the necessary political will.
In his closing statement, Jakob von Uexküll stressed the importance of an intensified exchange between the Southern and the Northern hemisphere about innovative initiatives and approaches towards more viable forms of living together. Mr Weiler branded the EU and its member states as "partycracies", where people would have to lobby for change. Likewise, Mr Giovannini recalled that building narratives requires investments and that there is a fight going on between different interests and world views. Mr de Backer further concretised this conclusion and proposed to give much stronger support to the "unsung heroes of sustainability", namely those business leaders who start to see the risks and try to change the perspective of their political leaders.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Vital Digest:
My lab was having loose stools, bad breath, allergy type ear infections. I started using Vital Digest, it took about 2 weeks to notice a change. The loose stools and the bad breath were the first I noticed to clear up,the ear infections going away was an added bonus, I now give it to him once a day to keep his system running good :-)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Stuff!
By Lois
from New Jersey
I give her a heaping teaspoon with her food and mix it in. She also gets the powdered vitamins mixed with it too. My dog is almost 15 yrs & a mixed lab. She had really bad breath cause she wasn't digesting her food. After a few days of giving her the vital digest I noticed her breath was better. I didn't have to fan her away when she was in my face. I'm very happy with this product and make sure I don't run out.

Working great for my kitties
By Cat Lover
from Texas
I have some kitties who are very particular about stuff that is added to their food but as long as I mix it in well (for the picky ones) they eat it right up with no problems. It seems to have helped my cats get well much faster after we had an upper respiratory issue and a gastrointestinal issue run through the household within weeks of each other. No side effects have been noticed and everyone seems to be feeling much better

This produce works for my cat
By L Shaffer
from Birch Tree, MO
I bought this because I have a cat the was throwing up her meals. Either right after she ate or with in 30 to 4o min. I had taken her to the vet a few months ago and it seemed to stop. Now she is doing it again so I ordered this Vital Digest and started giving it to her. It has taken about a week but she is not throwing up anymore after she eats. There is dry food down for all the cats and they get wet food morning and night. As long as I do not let her eat more than her share she is doing fine. I am pleased that I can give her something natural to help with this problem.

Delighted by results
By VictoriaPB
from Reston, VA
I am confident that this easy additive helped save my pet's life. My 17 year old feline boy with long-term renal disease was diagnosed with hyper thyroid earlier this year. I always believed in healing through nutrition but got laze with the cumbersome raw food diet and switched to premium cans for a few years and thought he was doing OK. Apparently not. His weight continued to plummet even w/the meds, appetite was on and off so his vet decided to double the dose of the thyroid med. My pet essentially shut down and I prepared for the last act of kindness and let him go with dignity. He was no better than an advanced stage alzheimers patient, barely 6 lbs, no interest in anything. Then, at the last minute, I did more research, learned that one of side effects from this med is anorexia/depression and decided to throw caution to the wind - reduced his meds to original lower level but split gel delivery into am/pm dose, switched back to raw (frozen, pre-made), added another brand's renal support powder, a little extra Vit B6 & 12, and this enzyme. BINGO! Each day my pet continued to improve and just a few weeks later is unrecognizable - he returned to his old pre-sickness health and for a senior cat is as sassy as one years younger. Instead of a good-bye I now expect more years not hours with him. He is now 3 1/2 lbs heavier and still getting better. Each little bit of nutrition is so precious that this inexpensive additive allows him to retain the most of what he eats. I will never own a pet (dog/cat/anything) without this on hand. Have already recommended it to anyone who would listen. Bravo!
I only wish I had found this sooner :)
By "Crazy Dog Lady"
I have four senior dogs - one of my males was not properly digesting his food. I knew this was a problem when I found his heartworm pass through him whole.I take digestive enzymes for stomach issues and wondered if it might help my male older shep mix. So happy I did! All four take the Vital Digest and I believe what I see! They are all digesting their food completely!!

I have cursed my Ragdoll & threatened to get rid of him for 4 years. He seemed fine as a kitten but then we started moving quite a bit & he started urinating around the house, then pooping outside of his litter box. He was more often than not standoffish & usually hid somewhere. I thought it was behavioral for yrs until I purchased Vital Digest, Cranberry Wellness Powder, & Kidney-Bladder Relief as a last resort. I also give him 1-2 tsp. of Coconut Oil/day. My cat is a totally different cat now. His stools before were always horribly stinking & messy. Now his stools are formed & don't smell at all. His personality has done a 180 & he is a playful, social cat. I hardly recognize him! I feed him 1/4 c Natural Balance Green Pea & Duck w/ a tbsp Addiction canned food w/ 3 drops Kidney-Bladder Relief, 1/2 scoop Cranberry Wellness Powder, 1/4 tsp Vital Digest, & 1-2 tsp Coconut Oil a day for vomiting due to hairballs. It took about a week before his total transformation. I will never stop giving Seinfeld (the Ragdoll) these supplements. I never guessed they'd help so dramatically!! Only Natural definitely played a huge part in keeping this kitty in his home! Thanks:)

The pancreas is a long, flat, pear-shaped organ located behind the stomach. It makes digestive enzymes and hormones, including insulin.
Acute pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that occurs suddenly and resolves with proper treatment.
Pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes are activated in the pancreas instead of the small intestine. Acute pancreatitis has several causes. In some cases, the cause may be unknown.
Known causes of acute pancreatitis include
Factors that may increase your risk of acute pancreatitis include:
Symptoms may occur one time or many times. Repeated flare ups of symptoms are known as attacks.
Acute pancreatitis may cause:
Untreated acute pancreatitis may progress into chronic pancreatitis, a serious condition where the pancreas becomes permanently damaged.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will ask how much alcohol you drink and what medications you take. Diagnosis can be determined by your symptoms and results from blood tests.

Imaging tests can be used to evaluate the pancreas and nearby structures. Imaging tests include:
Treatment for acute pancreatitis depends on the severity of the attack and what is causing it. For example, if medication is the cause of your pancreatitis, your doctor may change to a different medication or adjust the dose.
In most cases, acute pancreatitis isn't severe and can be treated. Treatment includes:
Generally, acute pancreatitis treatment requires hospitalization. Fluid and nutritional support can be administered by IV while your pancreas heals. During this time, you will be unable to eat or drink. Supplemental oxygen may also be given.
If you have severe pancreatitis, you may need a nasogastric tube. A long, thin tube is threaded through your nose and into your stomach for feeding.
You may also start treatment for any underlying causes of your pancreatitis.
Your doctor may recommend:
In general, surgery isn't necessary for mild pancreatitis. It may be necessary when medical treatment doesn't work for more severe cases. Surgery may also be used to treat underlying conditions.
Surgical procedures include:

The holidays are a popular time to stop and thank teachers and all of the wonderful staff at school for all they do.
My children have always been a big fan of making tie-dye shirts mostly because of the wonderment that it involves as they await the final reveal. This kid-friendly homemade batik fabric project is no different. So, for this month's KidART craft project we'll be using Gel Glue to create a mask on fabric, and then painting the fabric. Once the fabric is put through a minimal soaking and rinsing process, the glue will dissolve and the original fabric will shine through. It is quite fun and very magical for the young set to see. Here's how:
First, you'll want to sketch out a rough draft of the design you'd like to create onto a piece of paper. If you have a child that is more of a perfectionist, you'll find that the Fiskars Shapes Templates are perfect for helping them to create a balanced design with recognizable shapes.
Next, cut your fabric to your desired size square using your cutting mat and rotary trimmer. If you'll be using your fabric to create another project when you're finished keep in mind that your fabric will shrink up a bit since the final step involves soaking in hot water.
Then, line your work surface with waxed paper, taping together at the seams to get the desired size. Your waxed paper should cover an area slightly larger than your fabric. Tape the waxed paper to your work surface to hold it in place.
Lay your fabric over the waxed paper and lightly pencil in your design using the Shapes Templates. The light pencil markings will wash away. Then apply Elmer's Gel Glue over the penciled lines.
Once the entire design is covered, let the glue dry overnight.
Mix 1 part acrylic craft paint to 1 part water in small containers. I find it easiest to use small disposable food-service containers with lids, so the paint and water can be mixed by simply shaking the container until it is distributed evenly.
Have the child paint in the design just like they would color a page in a coloring book, making sure to rinse the brush completely between each color. Since the paint is rather watered down, it is best to have the paint pot close to the area they are painting to minimize dripping. Remind them that it doesn't matter if the paint gets on the glue lines since the glue acts as a resist.
Once the entire design is painted, allow it to dry overnight.
Once dry, peel fabric from the waxed paper and soak in a hot bath of water for 15 minutes. Gel glue should release from the fabric during this time. Feel around all the areas where the glue was applied. If it still feels a little gooey, give it another 10 minute bath. This second bath is completely dependent on how thick the original glue lines were. You may also try rubbing the fabric lightly together to loosen glue or use a toothbrush. Gently ring excess water out of fabric and lay flat to dry. When completely dry, run a hot iron over the design to remove wrinkles.
If you have smaller children that don't have the ability to follow pencil markings, whether that be from a short attention span or lack of hand strength, allow them to 'draw' on the fabric with the glue. Follow the same steps for protecting your surface, dry time, etc Allowing them to paint in a random fashion (i.e. painting outside the lines), will go much faster and they can still enjoy the same magical reveal after the hot water soak when the project is complete.

Sustainable agriculture takes many forms, but at its core is a rejection of the industrial approach to food production developed during the 20th century.
This system, with its reliance on monoculture, mechanization, chemical pesticides and fertilizers, biotechnology, and government subsidies, has made food abundant and affordable. However, the ecological and social price has been steep: erosion; depleted and contaminated soil and water resources; loss of biodiversity; deforestation; labor abuses; and the decline of the family farm.
The concept of sustainable agriculture embraces a wide range of techniques, including organic, free-range, low-input, holistic, and biodynamic.
The common thread among these methods is an embrace of farming practices that mimic natural ecological processes. Farmers minimize tilling and water use; encourage healthy soil by planting fields with different crops year after year and integrating croplands with livestock grazing; and avoid pesticide use by nurturing the presence of organisms that control crop-destroying pests.
Beyond growing food, the philosophy of sustainability also espouses broader principles that support the just treatment of farm workers and food pricing that provides the farmer with a livable income.
Critics of sustainable agriculture claim, among other things, that its methods result in lower crop yields and higher land use. They add that a wholesale commitment to its practices will mean inevitable food shortages for a world population expected to exceed 8 billion by the year 2030. There's recent evidence, though, suggesting that over time, sustainably farmed lands can be as productive as conventional industrial farms.

It's pretty straightforward. Unless you are in a very specific gear set, avoidance is never guaranteed. Yes, it is wonderful to dodge/parry an attack and have zero incoming damage. However, if the RNG gremlin bites you in the ass and you don't avoid 10 hits in a row, that's going to be an awful lot of damage. Armor and health are ALWAYS there to soak up those times when RNG-bad-things happen.
Then there's the whole bit where avoidance does nothing for magic damage (unless you're a blood DK with magic parry).
Blizz cannot "solve" this without making avoidance incredibly overpowered. In Cataclysm, if avoidance is too good, you'll just never take damage. Enter Sunwell radiance and Chill of the Throne. My humble prediction is that with the future of raiding being large health pools and smaller hits from bosses you will see Stam stacking become even more prevalent. Why avoid a small hit when I can just stack enough stam to not actually die during an entire fight? Okay, that's a mythical example but imagine a well geared t14 tank in Cataclysm heroics - not unlikely that this might be the scenario.
