Dear Mr. President:
I am writing to you as a wife and mother of two young daughters, whose 34-year old husband, Matthew Davies, faces10 years or more in federal prison for providing medical marijuanato sick people in California, even though he complied with state law concerning medicinal cannabis. My questions to you are simple:
Mr. President, my husband is not a criminal and shouldn't be treated like one. Matt is not a drug dealer or trafficker. He's not driving around in a fancy car and living in some plush mansion--trust me. My husband is a regular guy, and we're a regular, middle-class family. Yet even though Matt took great pains to follow state and local law, he is currently facing a severe prison sentence. This all seems so surreal.
- What has my husband done that would justify the federal government forcing my young daughters to grow up without a father?
- How can your Administration ignore the will of the California people and prosecute this good, law-abiding man for doing exactly what state law permits?
Last month you told Barbara Walters that federal law enforcement authorities would not go after people in Colorado and Washington for marijuana-related crimes because it makes no sense for the government to "focus on recreational drug users in a state that has already said that under state law that's legal." You said that the federal government has "bigger fish to fry."
If that's true, why are federal prosecutors in Sacramento threatening my husband, Matt, with 10 years to life in federal prison for providing medical marijuana to California patients who are legally allowed to possess and use it? Matt did nothing illegal under our state and local laws. He has no criminal record. He is a hard-working family man and a loving, kind husband and father.We'll see if the White House responds to this plea or just ignores it as it has ignored so many. Remember, often times, the casualties of the pharmaceutical industry-sponsored War on Drugs are innocent people with families.
We are confused and absolutely terrified.

Lady Gaga - Fragrance Launch - Arrivals
Updated: November 9, 2012 6:21AM
Music superstar Lady Gaga will share a peace prize in memory of John Lennon to honor her work campaigning for equality for gay, lesbian and transgender people.
The singer has been chosen along with four others — including Russian punk band Pussy Riot and the late writer Christopher Hitchens — to receive the biennial LennonOno Grant For Peace.
Gaga is expected to accept the award and a donation from Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, in Reykjavik, Iceland, on Tuesday — the birthday of John Lennon and his son, Sean.
Ono said in a statement Friday that while Gaga is "one of the biggest living artists of our time" she is also an activist whose album "Born This Way" altered "the mental map of the world."

Stop brain pollution: Racism, stereotypes and prejudice
By Bridgette Olumhense
Special to the Michigan Citizen
When I take a stroll through my memories, I always seem to come to the first basketball game I ever attended. I and the rest of my Girl Scout troop were jumping around New York City — high off excitement and candy. We were going to see the New York Liberty Women's basketball team.
Though the fog of time obscures the details, I remember jogging down the city block when a woman in front of me dropped her money. It was $15, a fortune in a seven year old's mind, but Mom always said to return what isn't yours. I was tall for my age with long legs, so I managed to reach her in decent time.
"Lady," I called shyly and softly as I ran up to her. "You dropped your money." It was clenched tightly in my fist so it wouldn't fall, and as soon as she turned, I planned to hand it to her.
Pause. This was the part that always confused me. Maybe it was the look in her eyes, or the weather, or the tension injected into the atmosphere, but I have always felt that moment was symbolic. The lady, a tall pretty blonde woman, and her friend both glanced at me briefly, and without another moment's hesitation, turned and hurriedly walked away.
Fast Forward. The next couple of minutes went by quickly. My cousin and I briefly debated over who got the money (I received the 10 for being older, and she was left with the five) and we walked into McDonald's with the rest of the group to enjoy a long awaited meal. But I could never shake the feelings of confusion and shock at the lady's reaction. When I think back on it, I recall how her eyes swirled with an unknown emotion similar to wariness.
Maybe she was confused as to why a toothy 7-year-old stranger was talking to her.
Maybe she was late for a meeting.
Or maybe, just maybe, she saw a Black girl chasing after her with a clenched fist and did not want to get robbed.
It's highly possible I'm making more of the situation than it was, but that moment in time has always reminded me of the racial bias that pollutes our society and culture. The biggest fence we have to climb is the one that resides in our minds, but we can never make it that far. It sickens me to see viral videos of girls proclaiming turbans and terrorists are synonymous, or there are too many "brown people."
What is race, or what separates races? There is but one race: the human race. But white scientists have categorized humans into "races" by the melanin or lack thereof in their skin. Racism is a social construct, an invisible barrier that hinders communication and interaction between humans. It's strange how having a certain pigment in your skin can cause so much judgement.
From racism we get stereotypes and prejudice. The result of these stereotypes leads to the prejudice diminishes the joy of many aspects in our lives. We have laws like stop-and-frisk. Children die. Young men die. This not only pertains to Trayvon Martin, but also to Aiyana Stanley-Jones, a seven-year-old girl shot in the head while sleeping, or Jordan Davis, or Jonathon Ferrell, an unarmed man shot ten times trying to get help from a car crash. The greatest fence we have to climb over is in our minds, but Society hasn't reached the fence yet. Instead, men like Claudius Smith are running and hopping the fence to shoot defenseless 21-year-old men in the name of self-defense. So many accidents, so many mistakes, and so many innocent lives lost.
The idea may be out there, but the lesson is not yet learned. Too many young people are dying for a cause that is not heeded. We're taking one step forward and ten steps back.
Bridgette Olumhense is a 15-year-old honors student at Walter Panas High School in Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.. The sophomore is the 2013-14 Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Ambassador for WPHS and participates in the school's District Youth Council.

Hello Competitive Edge Readers,
Before I dive into today's post on qualities that distinguish women Leaders, I need to talk about the disaster happening in Japan. The devastation is beyond words. I felt incredibly thankful and lucky when our Caliper office in Tokyo informed us that all of our associates are fine and the office sustained only minor damage. Obviously millions of others have not been so fortunate. I'm taking this opportunity to ask all of you to donate whatever you can to help provide some relief to those who are so desperately in need. At Caliper we take our commitment to helping others very seriously and encourage you to do the same. If you are not sure how or where to donate, here is a great website that can help: Charity Navigator
A sincere thank you,

On to today's post…
The Qualities That Distinguish Women Leaders
We were first asked to compare women leaders in England with those in the U.S. While there were a couple of rather interesting results, a couple of counter intuitive, the basic truth was there was not much difference between U.K. and U.S. women leaders.
We then decided to compare the women leaders to the thousands of male leaders we already had in our database. Briefly, the results were interesting and, in some cases, somewhat unexpected.
As we summarize the results, keep in mind that the male leadership group was very strong in all the categories we'll mention. But, interestingly the women leaders were even stronger.
We found that women leaders were more assertive, persuasive, and more willing to take risks. And they were also more empathic and flexible, as well as stronger in interpersonal skills than their male counterparts. These qualities combine to create a new leadership style that is inclusive, open, consensus building, collaborative and collegial.
The trait that women leaders scored somewhat lower on than their male counterparts, though not significantly lower, was their ego-strength, or resilience—the ability to bounce back from disappointment or rejection. But, because they possess stronger interpersonal skills (empathy, flexibility and sociability) and are more assertive than the male leaders, they are able to take the sting of disappointment, learn from it, and carry on with an "I'll show you" approach. So, rejection, rather than being a defeating event, can for the assertive woman be a motivator on a greater level to conquer the next opportunity.

Welcome to Dillard Gardens
From our garden to yours
Planting daylily seeds is an inexpensive way to create a unique garden of one-of-a-kind daylily flowers. The anticipation builds as your young daylily seedlings approach flowering age and you eagerly wait to see just what each daylily seed produces. Will it look like the parents? Will it be some exotic creation beaming from your garden like a beacon? Dillard Gardens has hundreds of daylily seeds for sale; buy a few seeds and with care and a little luck you may create a daylily highly sought by collectors and hybridizers alike.
Thanks to all of you for your support but we will not be selling seeds on this site in 2014. We are scaling back and will be selling all seeds on the Lily Auction and perhaps Ebay. Hope to see you on the auction.

The 2012 Buckmasters Top Bow World Championship kicked off Thursday morning with plenty of low scoring rounds.
Buckmasters has added new challenges this year in order to test even the best veteran archers, and especially the new guys.
Top Bow Coordinator, Mike Foster said, "I was a little tough on them this year. We backed up the course and this first round is really difficult. Because of all the misses, the first round has actually gone faster than in previous years."
Foster added, "They haven't seen everything yet. There will be a few surprises in the coming rounds."
Leading the field of 70 contestants after the first round of competition is Keith Brown, in Pool B, with a score of 129, and Dewayne Walker in Pool A, with a score of 134. Notably, Tom Boatwright follows close behind Walker with a score of 133, in Pool A.
The top 18 archers in each pool will face off late Thursday night and early Friday morning before advancing to the weekend semi-finals and finale on Sunday.
Come see the Top Bow Indoor World Championship for yourself at Buckmasters Expo 2012 in downtown Montgomery, AL.
You and your family will also enjoy the largest hunting sale in the southeast, with over 300 exhibitors, Young Bucks activities for the kids, a DockDogs competition, and meeting hunting industry personalities, including Troy, Jacob and Chase Landry of the hit TV show, "Swamp People" on the History channel, Bill & Tyler Jordan, Michael Waddell, Travis T-Bone Turner, Nick Mundt, Haley and G.O.

Yesterdays effort paid off. Obviously.
The model was super sweet and motivated.
A chocolate assortment was always in reach.
My camera still works.
I think I'm slowly getting into the swing of things again…
Still have to oil some screws but the progress is measurable
Originally the post was named "FUCK OFF I can fly {awesome fashion pictures included}" and meant as a pun for the last comment. But I thought it might be rude. For the models sake. Not my own. I don't give a damn
Except – maybe I do. Rude language belongs to dark stories and not to pretty pictures

A profound change has happened to the Content Management World:
No business knows the value and pain of content management like the press, and there were a couple laughs at yesterday's media briefing when I quoted Acquia's Chief Marketing Officer, Tom Wentworth: "Everyone hates their CMS."
In this rapid age of innovation, it is imperative that educational establishments are able to attract and enroll the best prospective students. Once those students have matriculated, institutions need to develop software applications to support students and help them to collaborate, pay bills, take part in extracurricular activities and, most importantly, learn.
This is a guest blog post written by Robert Rose, Senior Analyst at Digital Clarity Group (DCG). Along side his work with DCG, he is also the Strategist in Residence and brand advisor for the Content Marketing Institute, a featured writer and guest blogger for iMedia Connection, CMSWire and Fierce Content Management. Robert also maintains his own blog at The Mythic Marketer.
By David Roe
In the world of multichannel content delivery and management, partnerships are being formed at an astounding rate. Today, Alfresco and Acquia have announced a new partnership that will see the two open source platforms working together to provide advanced multichannel content management.
Acquia, Alfresco Digital Content
While both Acquia and Alfresco are strong, established players in their respective spaces, the two combined will greatly increase the ability of enterprises to provide full digital content management abilities to their clients, both internally and externally.
The combination will provide users with content applications that span everything from traditional document management to structured editorial workflows as well as the dynamic delivery of multichannel web experiences.
The result is a unified digital experience that pulls together content, community and commerce capabilities through the creation of web applications that can push content to all corners of the enterprises and to wherever it is needed.
Earlier this week we saw that many front-line workers were not in a position to close deals as many enterprise do not consider content delivery needs in their overall content strategies.
Burlington, MA – June 18, 2013 – Acquia, where great digital experiences begin, today announced a strategic partnership with Alfresco, the open platform for business-critical content management and collaboration. With this relationship, Acquia builds on Alfresco's open platform to extend the web experience applications that enable customers to quickly build content applications that span traditional documents, structured editorial workflows and dynamic multi-channel delivery.
DRUPALCON, DENVER, CO – March 20, 2012 – Acquia, the enterprise guide to Drupal, today announced the appointment of recognized web content management industry leader Joseph Wykes as Vice President of Global Channels.
Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of PHP, commented in an interview with France's leading newspaper Le Monde, that "it will be practically impossible to create today a proprietary alternative to Drupal". The remarks were in the context of the evolution of open source in the market.
The social web is dramatically changing the way we work and play. Organizations are gaining substantial productivity improvements from what the inventor of the term web 2.0, Tim O'Reilly, describes as "harnessing the collective intelligence."
The market for business oriented social software solutions is exploding, for good reason. Organizations are learning that their employees, customers and business partners collaborate more effectively in the web 2.0, interactive web world.
I was so proud of what our team accomplished in 2009 that I wrote a couple of different versions of our accomplishments. I posted one last week. However, after thinking about it some more, I was so excited by specific achievements, that I decided to post this version as well, which lists many of them.

The court found the government in violation of a federal law protecting religious freedom by requiring family-owned corporations to pay for insurance coverage for contraception under the Affordable Care Act. The ruling was welcome news for those who support religious freedom, state Rep. Finch, R-Ottawa, said.
"[Monday's] ruling sends a strong message to Washington that, as Americans, we value the protections we are afforded by the First Amendment," Finch said. "I'm proud to have helped pass the Kansas Preservation of Religious Freedom Act, which will provide an additional barrier between big government and the religious freedom of Kansans."
The Kansas legislation codifies the stricter standards for protecting religious liberties as utilized in the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, according to a release from Finch.
The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision, which applied to two companies owned by Christian families — Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Products — opened the door to challenges from other corporations to many laws that opponents of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, said violated their religious liberty, according to media reports.
Kansas and 17 other states filed an amicus curiae brief in the U.S. Supreme Court backing the challenge to a provision in Obamacare that required certain employers to pay for and provide a government-mandated list of health care services to their employees, according to a news release from Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt's office. The required coverage included certain health care services that conflicted with the sincerely held religious beliefs of the families that owned the companies that challenged the law.
"America's bedrock principle of religious liberty today prevailed over the demands of the modern bureaucratic state," Schmidt said Monday. "For the second time in two years, the United States Supreme Court has stricken a part of 'Obamacare' as illegal. Kansas has been a proud part of both those successes, and I am hopeful our other pending challenges will succeed in future years."

Alot of assumptions on your part. But regardless of the a couple of things stick out. One is half the
Rifles you named can not be purchased for $1100 like you implied. And second you have yet to post anything showing how any of these ARs are 10x the quality if the WW. So I can only guess maybe you over stated things in you original post.

@feruze-- That's what I thought too but @anon306020 mentioned an extremity scanner. So maybe you don't have to after all.
I thought that no matter which part of your body the MRI is for, you lie in the MRI machine and then the technician will concentrate on the area that needs to be filmed.
That is frustrating though because an MRI is not fun. It really is claustrophobic. The first time I got an MRI, they didn't even tell me how long it would take or the loud noises that would be coming from the machine. So I literally had an anxiety attack while I was inside. I don't like MRIs for this reason but I know that sometimes they're necessary.

I had some of these over the weekend. The donuts were very good, but there too much sea salt on them.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 16, 2014 at 7:55 PM
The donuts are tasty, but 3 for $3? That's pretty insane, and I can afford it. They are literally an inch in diameter. The "maple" syrup they put on ours was NOT maple syrup. They insisted it was, but I KNOW maple syrup (I'm from Vermont) and I know the fake stuff (I'm a chef). So there you have it. It's nice to have gourmet foods popping up in Harlem, but the service was slow (yet kind) and the value was not good. I'm not asking for cheap donuts, but seriously, three tiny little bites for $3?? I can't imagine this is gonna work out.ReplyDelete

Often times apps will add a custom input row above the keyboard (byword, ia writer, and many others). This would be super handy for search commands.

Which search commands?
Posted 03 November 2012 - 03:02 PM
Hmmm..., that's not a bad idea. I think I'd recommend a row of mixed commands and symbols: <AND> <OR> <NOT> would be really popular, perhaps also <WITHIN ?>. The * symbol is also really hard to access currently. Frankly, I also get tired of switching screens to use a period, comma, or colon, too.

Yes, this extra row would be really helpful. Very well implemented in Nebulous app for iPhone. I can create my own buttons, assign "macros" to those buttons, etc. See that app and perhaps you can "borrow" some ideas from it.

She preceded him in death January 12, 2005. He proudly served our country in the U.S. Army during World War II. During his three years of service he was awarded a Good Conduct Medal, weather medals and a Bronze Star.
J.T. became an auto mechanic and worked for Ford, Birge, and Baggett Bridwell Motor Companies. After retirement, he opened his own trade store in Iowa Park. A very kind and loving heart, he always enjoyed going to the Kyle family reunions, beginning in 1963. He was the world's greatest dad and grandpa who was loved and will be deeply missed, and will always be remembered for his wonderful story telling. He was also preceded in death by his brothers, E.L. Kyle, Gene Ray Kyle, Ed Kyle and Lawerence Kyle; son, Bill Dickerson; grandson, Terry Dickerson; granddaughter, Chrissy; and great-granddaughter, Keri Leigh Kyle.
Survivors include his children, Pete Kyle and wife, Cindy of Wichita Falls, Mattie Lou Tate of Iowa Park, Orlin Lee Dickerson of Kamay, and Linda Simco and husband Dennis of Wichita Falls; brother, Fonzo Kyle of Wisconsin; sisters, Linda, Wanda and Juanita, all of California, Sue of Tennessee, and Doris of Missouri; twelve grandchildren, Donna and Danny Brent, Susie Dickerson, Willie Dickerson, Gary Dickerson and wife, Julie, John Tate, Jimmy Tate, Perry Tate, Ricky Kyle and wife, Rhonda, Kelli Kyle and Tony, and Shawn Kyle and Cassie; nineteen great-grandchildren; and ten great-great-grandchildren.

The family would like to give special thanks to Robert Smith, PA, and nurse Sharon for all the love and care they gave to J.T.
Condolences may be sent to the family at www.owens andbrumley.com.

338 Evatt to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 4 HMAT KANIMBLA, 14 July 1947, 10.43 a.m.
Your telegrams on Japanese Settlement incomplete and difficult to decipher. However, the following course of action is indicated:
'A' 1. The time of the meeting is quite impracticable because of the British Commonwealth Conference at Canberra on 26th August already announced.
2. I entirely accept the general idea that eleven countries represented on F.E.C. should take part in the preliminary stage of the Japanese Peace Conference, without prejudice to questions of representation, voting, etc.
3. Such preliminary stage should certainly be held during the present year. This is strictly in accordance with what we have frequently advocated.
In order to implement the above practical steps might be as follows:
1. Meeting of representatives of the eleven Governments should constitute the first stage of the Japanese Peace Settlement.
2. Insistence that each Government be free to appoint its representatives on the highest level. This is necessary in principle because there cannot possibly be expert or deputy or committee system until bodies are properly established, and until principles and directions for them have been decided at the highest level.
3. Subsequently, the committees may undertake enquiries and investigations, bring back reports to the Peace Conference proper.
4. Positive suggestions, therefore, are:
(a) Welcoming in principle of the present move by the United States with the reminder that it accords with our publicly expressed desire for early settlement for Japan.
(b) Emphasis on confusion of thought springing, no doubt, from the Council of Foreign Ministers' procedure, and which has led to the thought that Deputy or Committee system could be started without prior meeting at the highest Governmental level.
(c) Suggestion of short initial meeting of the eleven Governments immediately prior to or after the Assembly meeting.
(d) Insistence that 19th August is utterly impracticable date as the United States State Department must well have known. It is surprising and disappointing that this was not pointed out by the Ambassador himself immediately he heard of the idea and instructions to Washington should, therefore, be very explicit.
'C' My ideas seem to be in substantial accordance with your telegram No. 1 of 13th July, except that your suggestion is for short initial session immediately prior to the Assembly.

Haemophilus influenza type B is a kind of haemophilus influenza with extremely strong invasiveness. Among all the serious infections caused by haemophilus influenzas, almost 90% were caused by haemophilus influenza type B.
According to the researches in recent years, HIB has become the first bacteria that will cause diseases on the respiratory tracts of children in China. It mainly causes lower respiratory infection and pneumonia. After infected by HIB, the risk of getting invasive diseases is related to one's HIB immune level. The prevalence rate of HIB antibody in infants is quite high, which mainly comes from mothers. Antibody titer reaches the highest point when infants are three to four months old. In addition, because infants are naturally exposed to HIB

Even though its rough living with seven other people. Sometimes I find myself near tears because I crave a small space to call my own, where I can have privacy, quiet, neatness and order--a place untouched by seven other people.
~They always steal my brush.
~They always steal my toothpaste.
~My room seems to be the place where everyone kicks off their shoes to watch cartoons and when I kick them out, they leave their shoes behind.
~My girls love to read my Instyle mags and rip open and smell all of the perfume samples.
~My husband has about a billion things he carries in his pockets, and he dumps every single one of them on his dresser. If he runs out of room, he puts some on mine.
~They write on the walls with marker.
~Whenever my phone rings, they automatically pick it up, answer it, and then hand it to me.
~My girls love to remove every last washcloth from the bathroom and use them as Barbie blankets.
~When everyone is talking at once and vying for position, the noise level is ridiculous. I go to my happy place.
I mean, those are just some of the little things that drive me nuts. On the flipside...
~My daughter's hair always smells so good, and I love to bury my nose in it and inhale deeply.
~My sons email me sweet and funny messages just like this one: "Mom without you in my life I'd be fat, dumb, and hairy, so take care of me."
~I love when I walk into the kitchen and Michael is whipping up one of his "gourmet meals". I swear, he can get the chil'rens to eat anything, and all with a smile on their face. They never do that with me.
~At night, I have such a peace knowing they are all in bed safely, they are warm and happy and they are all still young enough to be living at home.
~I love to torture my kids by kissing their daddy and hearing them groan in horror when they catch him giving me a squeeze here and there.
~I love that they aren't afraid to talk to us about anything and everything (and I do mean anything and everything).
~I love that throughout the day, I usually have extricate someone from my side, my butt, my arms, my lap because no matter how old they are, they love to cuddle. And by cuddle I mean, drape themselves all over me.
Such is my life.

Chewing gum can help you focus longer
Back in the day, you might have had a teacher who would would always make you spit out your gum. Turns out they might have been making making a mistake. Research has been done that shows chewing gum improves concentration in visual memory tasks, and now recent research focusing on its effect on audio memory tasks shows a similar increase in concentration.
For some of us that could have gotten us through that weekly multiple choice quiz, or at the very least dodgeball during gym.
In a study by Cardiff University, 38 participants were split into two groups; each working on a 30 minute audio task. They listened to numbers from one to nine being read in a random manner, and were then scored on how accurately and quickly they could detect sequences of odd numbers.
Participants completed questionnaires to probe their mood prior and after the task. It turns out those who chewed gum had quicker reaction times with more accurate results than those who — especially at the end of the task.
Kate Morgan, principal author of the report commented:
"Interestingly participants who didn't chew gum performed slightly better at the beginning of the task but were overtaken by the end. This suggests that chewing gum helps us focus on tasks that require continuous monitoring over a longer amount of time."
Results of the recent study was published in the recent British Journal of Psychology.

Tom McDonnell: A couple of quick links
Daniel Gros sets the scene for the Euro zone in this New Year's post. 2012 looks to be a critical and memorable year in the Euro debt crisis. Hopefully lessons have been learned. According to Gros:
" The resources are there. Europe (just) needs the political will to mobilize them."
I agree. Though I have no confidence in the political decision makers on whom we depend.
Meanwhile Charles Wyplocz offers some solutions and considers here whether official policy making, including that of the ECB, is captured by special interest groups.

MondayCelebrity Gossips, Southwest Asia
Tom Cruise Run For his Money, Burj Khalifa
A standard day for the company's abseiling technicians can range from maintenance on the world's tallest tower, to scaling Qatar's Tornado tower or the Makkah Clock Tower in Saudi.
Footage of the team at work show technicians on dangling from harnesses from the 828m-tall Burj Khalifa, resembling the stunt work undertaken by Hollywood actor Tom Cruise in the recent film Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
Megarme's work typically centres on extreme locations that require mountain climbing skills. Sites range from an oil rig out at sea to Yas Island, and workers are trained to perform anything from painting facades, to changing aircraft warning lights on the tips of towers.
Employees often have to switch ropes at height and so must be certified by the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) and bring a wealth of experience to the role.
"The workers need to be brave, and they need to have the IRATA rope access qualification," said Daniel Gill, the company's head of business development.
"However, you wouldn't send someone who is fresh out of a course up a building like the Burj Khalifa.We put a lot of emphasis on experience."
Megarme has remained accident-free in its 18 years in the region.
"There is a very big difference between having a piece of paper that says you can do it, and actually going up and doing it. And you don't really get too many chances," said Gill.
The firm now has more than 300 staff across its three Middle East sites in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar. Many of its workers are sourced from India, the Philippines, Nepal and Asia.

|I've just tried Zum Clean laundry detergent (the same company that makes the fabulous soap) and it's love at first sight :).
What I like about it:
- low sudsing.... really!!
- fantastic fragrances (essential oils - Eucalyptus Citrus, Sweet Orange, lavender, Patchouli, Frankincense Myrrh). It's probably the only detergent I've found with natural fragrances that ACTUALLY linger (in spite of my extra hard water)
- no need for fabric softener

|Stay away from those boutique detergents. Although I haven't tried this brand, I did try some Le Blanc products that are similarly advertised. Worst product I've ever used. They are so overly perfumed it's ridiculous. It's like strapping an air freshener around your neck.
My opinion is to stick with more commercial brands from companies who put real research into their detergent formulations. If you want a nice, fresh scent that lingers and is also natural, consider adding a little bit of essential oil to a washcloth and throwing it into a load of dry laundry on "air dry" no heat mode for 10-15 minutes.

|sshrivastava, I fear you are probably right ... still haven't tried the air dry thing with essential oil but I will :)

|I asked earlier how long the OP has been using the product, but nobody responded to me. I think it's important that a product be used multiple times and for an extended period of time before being recommended to others. If a detergent has issues, you may not see it after one or two washes. A lot of people recommended Charlie's Soap after just a few washes, but then over time and a few months realized that their whites were coming out dull and dingy.
It's exciting to try a new product, and often the thrill of trying something new may cause you to think you're seeing something that isn't there. It's not unlike upgrading the OS on your computer. Most people will immediately think that certain operations on their computer feel "snappier" when, in fact, it's just a figment of their imagination. I'm not saying that's the case here, but let's follow up in a month or so and see if the OP is still as thrilled with this detergent.
|Admittedly, I've been using ZUM clean laundry only for a couple of weeks... and I AM prone to going overboard when it comes to new detergents :)

|rudin1969, how is the Zum Clean working out for you? It's been a couple of months so I'm curious.
|Hi sshrivastava,
I'm really happy with it. Granted, my laundry is never too dirty .... I was expecting the usual tons of suds (see Vaska or the Laundress), and yet it's genuinely low-sudsing, clothes come out soft and fragrances (there are two new ones: Patchouli and Rosemary Mint) are actually long-lasting (without being overpowering).
- Posted by livebetter (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 15:26
|rudin1969, I was thinking of trying this now (I can get it from Drugstore.com now). I really love a good lavender that will last.
It concerns me that this is a real "soap" product. Doesn't soap react badly with hard water?
Anyone have any insight on this from a "chemistry" point of view?
How is it still working for you?
|Hi there Livebetter!
I'm still enjoying my ZUM laundry.... I have hard water, but no problems whatsoever... Again, my laundry is never too dirty (no children etc).
I've just discovered (bad case of laundry detergent addiction) these new 'lines' of 'yummy' detergents (the 'everyday laundry' versions of 'cloth diaper detergents'). Nearly 100 yummy scents....

|I ordered the Indigo Wild catalog and I want so much of their stuff! I have heard a lot of good things about them so I may try some stuff. I am a powder user for my FL's but some of their other products look appealing
- Posted by sshrivastava (My Page) on Sat, Apr 9, 11 at 14:18
|I can't find an ingredients list for this product, but I suspect that from all of the safety and environmental claims that it's nothing more than washing soda. If true, that puts this product at the same basic level as Country Save and Charlie's Soap. Neither of those products worked for me, and over time caused my whites to appear dingy in soft water conditions.
My general advice is to beware of these seemingly miraculous cleaning products claiming to be effective, vegan, natural, etc. Most of what you read is marketing hype. Granted, these products may work for you if you don't have really dirty clothes. My experience with these types of products leaves a lot to be desired.

|Which product? Zum?
Saponified 100% coconut oil, sodium borate, sodium bicarbonate, pure essential oils and vegetable glycerin.

Chicago, IL's William Beckett is premiering his new song "Walls" today via The Huffington Post. The song comes from a two-song digital single that is expected to be released on July 1.
The release will also feature a newly recorded and revamped piano version of "Just You Wait" – a song that originally appeared as a bonus track on his debut solo full-length album Genuine & Counterfeit, which was released last Summer.
"The inspiration for the song "Walls" actually came from a fan. Her story was so touching and relatable that I just had to write a song about it," reveals Beckett to The Huffington Post. "There comes a time in everyone's life where you feel lost and uninspired; stagnant and not sure which way to turn or how to pull yourself out of the rut. This song is about believing in yourself and holding out hope that, with a positive attitude and dedication, each day can be better than the last. Of course things happen that are well out of our control, but the weight of each problem is measured in how you respond and react to it."
The two songs were recorded with producer Marc McClusky (Weezer, Ludo) in Chicago, with whom Beckett also recorded Genuine & Counterfeit.
This Summer, Beckett - former frontman to The Academy Is... - will also perform solo at a series of amphitheater shows across the US, supporting Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo and Rick Springfield.
Beckett shares, "I'm so excited to be able to play this song on my upcoming tour with Rick Springfield and Pat Benatar. I still can't believe that I have the opportunity to share the stage with such amazing songwriters and legendary performers. I'm also looking forward to sharing my music with an audience that, for the most part, hasn't heard it yet. It's going to be fun to show that my songs can speak to all generations of music fans."
