I have been a lover of fashion and music my entire life. As a child, I refused to wear anything but pink dresses and party shoes until the age of seven, and "watch videos" were two of my favorite and most commonly spoken words. In high school, I was constantly pushing the fashion boundaries and going to any concert I could from Dashboard Confessional to Death Cab for Cutie. As I grew into my own throughout college and afterward, I mellowed out a bit, but my passion for new and unique styles and alternative rock did not fade away.
Now, this brings me to the present. I currently work in an office where Pandora and Spotify are unspoken bonuses for the hours we spend plugging numbers into excel and pulling delivery reports for our clients. And since Spotify came into my life, my music taste has immensely expanded. I am constantly updating my starred playlist just as I would update my shoe collection, and aside my conversations about who wore what, or last night's episode of The Bachelor, I could talk about music for hours.
Moving forward, I would like to incorporate both fashion and Music into some of my posts. So scroll down, push play and enjoy. After all, music and fashion are amazing enough on their own. I can only imagine how wonderful they are when combined.
Robyn – Dancing On My Own
Now that you have your headphones blasting and your body grooving, I thought I would start by posting about the show that introduced me to this tune in the first place: Girls (feel free to search it here if the Spotify link above does not work). As a devout Sex and the City lover, I was told to check it out months ago, so I watched the first episode. Frankly, I was unimpressed and continued on with my life but fast forward to the Golden Globes, and the days following, and this is where my adoration for the show truly began.
My infatuation stems from the individuality of each main character and their role in each episode. You have Allison Williams, who plays Marnie. I feel that I can relate the most to her polished appearance and "take no prisoners" attitude. But like every character, she possesses some very unattractive qualities, such as her need to have a man by her side at all times, and her uptight personality traits. When it comes to fashion Marnie is classically chic, as pictured below.
Next up is Jemima Kirke, who plays Jessa. I am obsessed with Jessa's free spirit and natural beauty. She is a good friend to Shosh and Hannah, all the while encouraging them to live life out loud. We could all use a friend like Jessa and a little bit of her in ourselves. Jessa's bohemian chic style and long hair align perfectly with her persona.
Shoshanna, played byShoshanna Shapiro, brings light and humor to the show without even meaning to and her style does just that as well. While she often dresses (and acts) too young for her age, she'll often pop up wearing something I covet as seen below.
Lastly, we have Lena Dunham, or Hannah- the heart and soul of the series. I can relate to her on so many levels, while on others I have no idea how to do so. She's quirky and fun, but also self-obsessed. For me, it's her "I'm in my twenties and lost" ideals that hit home. Style wise, she wears what she wants, when she wants. She may not always rock the chic dresses or up-dos that the other girls do, but she still manages to be admirable...aside from a few wardrobe malfunctions here and there.
Together, these girls are what it's all about: individuality and glamour all rolled into one. Don't forget to watch Girls on HBO Sunday Nights.

The first phase (2005-2009) of the World Programme for Human Rights Education focused on human rights education in the primary and secondary school systems. Although the first phase was initially launched for three years (until 2007), the Human Rights Council subsequently decided, in its resolution 6/24 (28 September 2007), to extend it until the end of 2009. Developed by a broad group of education and human rights practitioners from all continents, the Plan of Action for the first phase proposed a concrete strategy and practical ideas for implementing human rights education nationally. The Plan of Action was adopted by General Assembly resolution 59/113 B (14 July 2005).
The United Nations Inter-Agency Coordinating Committee on Human Rights Education in the School System (UNIACC) was established in September 2006 to facilitate coordinated United Nations support to the national implementation of the Plan of Action during the World Programme's first phase.

Ahead of we launch into the topic of OEX Selection Investing, we require to establish a basis for the matter. The $OEX is the code that represents the Normal & Poors one hundred commodity trading (S&P100) which is an index of the top big cap one hundred organizations outlined on stock exchanges in the United States. The index covers a assortment of industries, but is built so forex trading that much larger businesses have a larger affect on it. For this motive it is known as a current market worth, or capitalization weighted index.
You have possibly heard of the S&P 500 which is a broader centered index of the leading 500 US corporations. Properly the OEX is basically a subset of that. It is a excellent barometer of the total disposition of the blue chip shares in the US markets.
OEX option buying and selling is basically about investing a by-product merchandise (options) whose values are centered on the cost action of the underying $OEX index. It day trading was launched in 1983 as the world's initially optionable index and right up until modern instances, has been the most well-liked index selection. But in new years its level of popularity has waned, as other rival products have come onto the industry this kind of as the Nasdaq a hundred Index Have confidence in, commonly identified as the QQQQ or the "cues". The QQQQ is at this time the most fluid and very fx trading traded index in the planet.
One more use for the OEX around the decades has been as a hedging instrument for a portfolio of blue chip shares. OEX place options have offered stock trading platform beneficial safety against falling stock selling prices for large fund professionals. For this explanation, OEX set selection quantity is usually larger than simply call option quantity.
In relationship with OEX choice investing, after hours trading a trader must generally keep an eye on the VXO - the code for the S&P 100 Volatility Index on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). The VXO signifies the stage of commodities market set selections that are becoming purchased and for that reason the probability that a soaring market is due for a reversal. It operates opposite to the OEX in that, when the VXO is increasing, the OEX is falling - or is about to.
OEX Solution Trading with the OEF
The OEF is the code for an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) known as the iShares S&P one hundred, whose commodity trading portfolio of stocks mimics the composition of the S&P one hundred. As such, it is price action follows its massive brother, the greater OEX. The variance in between the OEF and the OEX daytrading6636.com is that the initially, becoming an ETF, is an exact stock whereas the 2nd is an index. Indexes are money settled monetary instruments, while stocks are settled by transfer of the options trading underlying shares. Stocks also involve dividend payments whereas indexes really don't.
But the OEF is practical in that its selection charges are a lot more cost-effective than the OEX selections and therefore far more accessible to trade gold traders with a more compact richesse base.
The splendor of index alternative buying and selling in common is that, as opposed to shares, they are commonly a lot less unstable, because they are an common of a huge quantity of shares.

Time to act on social determinants of health
Where we live, where we work, our education, our early childhood, our social power, our access to land and water: all these social determinants, and many more, affect our health.
This issue of Health Exchange focuses on the social determinants of health, what they mean for health workers and how we put this approach into practice. There are articles from a range of perspectives: the role of government in Sri Lanka, an NGO working at the grassroots in Kenya, an indigenous person's view of holistic health in Nicaragua, early childhood development projects in Brazil, and community action in Sri Lanka. There is also an article discussing the work of the World Health Organization's Commission on the Social Determinants of Health, which has spearheaded efforts to bring the approach to the forefront. Another contributor shares experience from a housing project in India's urban slums.
[Read more →]
Social determinants of health: time to act for health equity
Social determinants have extremely powerful influences on health. The World Health Organization's Commission on the Social Determinants of Health worked for several years to explore the global situation further. Ruth Bell, from University College London, talks about the work of the Commission and urges health workers at community level to call for action.
Health workers, more than anyone else, see the dramatic effects of the social determinants of health in their daily work. There is no biological reason why a girl born in Zambia should have a life expectancy of 43 years, while her counterpart born in Japan should have a life expectancy twice as long at 86 years. In a deprived part of Glasgow, Scotland life expectancy for men, at 54 years, is less than the average for men in India (62 years) where nearly 80 per cent of the population live on less than two dollars a day. Social determinants are linked to ill health and premature death witnessed by health workers wherever they are around the world.
Social empowerment as a determinant of health
As financial crises and shortfalls in health workers draw global attention, there is a possibility that we lose sight of a key resource for achieving our aspirations and rights in health – people! Rene Loewenson of the Training and Research Support Centre, Zimbabwe shows how interventions that empower communities in health lead to better health, but explains that we still have a way to go.
Improving urban slums, improving health
The living conditions of slum dwellers in Ahmedabad, India, have changed with new infrastructure projects, opportunities for employment and more social empowerment. Ultimately this has improved people's health, and reduced their expenditure on medicines. This is how a social determinants of health approach works in action. Bijal Bhatt from Mahila Housing Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA) Trust tells us more.
Early childhood development: a local priority in Brazil
Early childhood development (ECD) is a key social determinant of health. In Brazil, public policies in favour of ECD are stronger than ever. Yet despite recent achievements, social inequality and poor children's services are still major obstacles to the development of Brazilian children in their first years of life. Marcos Kisil tells how legal improvements alone are not enough: implementation is critical and there are already some good local examples at municipal level.
Healthy places, healthy people
Community-led total sanitation at work
'Healthy places, healthy people' – is a phrase from the WHO Commission for the Social Determinants of Health and one which resonates strongly with development practitioners using community-led total sanitation (CLTS). CLTS is a grassroots approach to stimulate change in people's sanitation behaviour through social action. Communities are taken through a participatory process. They realise their hygiene habits are unhealthy and decide to do something about it. Njoroge Kamau reports on the changes taking place in Kenya.
Tackling social determinants of health: the role of the Government
Sri Lanka is well known for having low infant and maternal mortality rates and prolonged life expectancy at birth while being a relatively poor country. There is now a better understanding of how the country achieves these remarkable health indices rapidly and consistently. Dr Saroj Jayasinghe and Dr Sarath Samarage report on how Sri Lanka is tackling the social determinants of health.
The Government's strategy to deal with the social determinants of health consists of broad-based public interventions. For several decades Sri Lanka has provided universal health coverage free at the point of delivery. From the 1920s the country had a system of health units, where a health team led by a medical officer provided preventive services to a defined population
Sarvodaya Movement
Community action on social determinants of health
The Sarvodaya Movement works at the grassroots to support communities to improve their own health. This is not health in a narrow sense. This is an approach that realises that education, employment, living conditions, cultural well-being and social empowerment play a crucial role in health. Vinya Ariyaratne, Executive Director of the Sarvodaya Movement, shares his experiences.
Holistic health: indigenous populations in Nicaragua
In the North Atlantic Autonomous Region of Nicaragua, the social determinants of health approach is not new to the indigenous people who live there. Their holistic and interconnected view of the world means they understand health at a community level, relating it with the access to land, to employment, to water and to leisure time. Florence Levy, from Health Unlimited talks about this perspective and the work she is doing to influence the Government to stop inappropriate vertical interventions.
Innovations in health research
Cardiovascular disease: combining research and action
Over 700 people living in Korogocho and Viwandani slums in Nairobi, Kenya have benefited from free drugs, regular screening and check-ups for heart disease, hypertension and other chronic conditions. Not what you might expect from a research institute, but this is how the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is combining research and action. Elizabeth Kahurani and Rose Oronje tell the story.
The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is spearheading efforts to ease the growing burden of chronic disease, especially among the urban poor. "Diseases that affect the heart and the blood circulation system, also known as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), are a leading cause of death and ill health in sub-Saharan Africa among adults aged 30 years and above," said Dr Catherine Kyobutungi, an Associate Research Scientist at APHRC.

Angie's Answers
Don't tell them what the other company said as far as price.
It is almost certain that you will have to modify the foundation to make it deeper too - and that is MAJOR structural work.
You need a civil/geotechnical engineering firm with experience in foundation rehab and putting in basements under existing homes to design the process and prepare and seal the plans and specifications, which you will need before you can get a building permit for this. They will also be able to help you select either a foundation excavation or a house moving and jacking company to do the actual work for you.
The engineer can also help you with a cost estimate - because I think you will be surprised how much this is going to cost. I have designed or managed quite a few such jobs, from highrise buildings to homes, and even the smallest houses of about 600SF footprint ran at least $15,000, and generally house basement excavations run more like $25-40,000 unless the foundation was originally designed for it but for some reason the basement was never put in, which is VERY rare except in very deep frost areas were footings are occasionally deep enough to allow a basement to be dug without deepening them. I worked on a couple back east that ran about $100,000 each because they were old 2-story brick buildings, which are very sensitive to differential movements - probably like yours.
A couple of other factors to consider is that in doing this you are likely to get at least some minor drywall cracking and door and window jamming, and be sure the contractor is insured and bonded to the hilt and for the potential rebuild value of the house, not just the job cost, because a major mistake can turn your house into a teardown. Not common, but the less experienced the contractor the more likely he is to do something dramatically wrong, and at the same time the smaller and less experienced contractors generally have lower coverages so your risks is compounded in two ways. With a row home you have the added risk of damaging adjacent units.
One thing to consider cost wise before you go ahead - I have worked a couple of jobs where it turned out cheaper and far safer to scrap the digging in a basement idea and put in an addition with same footprint instead. However, looking back I see you are in a row home, so that is likely not going to work. However, being in a row home, especially if on the Potomac flats south or east of the capital area, the soil conditions are generally the pits once you get off the Georgetown heights, so putting a basement under a rowhome without disturbing the other ones is VERY difficult and pricey - I would be surprised if you could do it for less than $100,000.
One other factor is utilities - one of the first things to do is check depth to any utilities like sewer lines, the Metro, etc - if you are over one of those that could well put your project totally out of the frame of reality.
You asked for a recommendation - one who specializes in this type of work that I would recommend, though your job might well be too small size for them - but they might be able to give you an engineer and contractor recommendation if so. Company name is Schnabel Foundation Company in Sterling Va and Bethesda, MD in your area - website www.schnabel.com. They could handle both the engineering and construction.
Wow - from way general to totally specific - nice job, you have your scope of work almost ready to contact potential bidders about giving a bid - just need to double check each item hads quantities attached to it, plus a plan with depths (or specify tie-in elevations to existing pipe and required drain/pipe slopes - say 1% or more). Search the List (in green banner bar) for Earthwork and Excavation contractors in your area with good reviews and ratings.
here is a very rough idea of costs - obviously you need bids to tie it down, this should just give you a ballpark to compare to - assuming all this work is done at the same time.
1) & 2) - Tree and rock maybe $100 - more like $200 if you want the stump totally rooted out rather than just the stump and root crown taken out.
3) Walk removal and disposal probably about $100-200 - maybe half if these are 3-4 inch individual concrete squares or rectangles that can be skidded to the side, the excavation and ground sloping done, then slid back into place with a backhoe or bobcat or by wood skids and prybar, eliminating the hauling and disposal cost.
4) Excavation and disposal of soil probably about $20-30/CY, because you are talking a small quantity. Cheaper if you have an on-site area it can be spread out onsite for disposal, or stockpiled in yard as a future project dirt pile, if that is suitable.
5) You don't say what the existing drain is - underground drain for downspouts maybe ? For shallow burial, probably about $5/LF or so. Why square - round is cheaper and far stronger for given material thickness.
6) Fence R&R probably about $150-200, depending on depth of posts and whether concreted in or not.
7) vegetation removal - not knowing how much, $100-200
8) Garden wall around $10-12/SF assuming excavated material from yard is suitable for the general backfill - remember should go 4-12 inches below grade for stability (4" for this wall, more like 6-12 for higher front wall)
Front/side yard:
1) Move large boulder - $50-100
2) vegetation removal and relocate 3 shrubs - $150-300 (not knowing how much vegetation orhow big shrubs are)
3) excavation at $20-30/CY again as above
4) sprinkler system relocate/repair - $75-150
5) garden wall around $12-15/SF as above including concrete footer needed for this height wall
6) area drain laterals about $5-10/LF, assuming not over 3 feet deep
7) slab drainage - I don't know where the quick lime idea came from, but this is a no-go - it will remove a small amount of water (maybe 5-20 gallons) from the soil one-time - it has no long term function as it will quickly become saturated. You are actually likely to have 5 wet circles in your concrete slab from this forever, as the lime will act as a soggy sponge, retaining water that would otherwise wick away. If you have or expect a basement slab moisture problem, then you need a sump pump with sump installed, and possibly (depending on how free-draining the base material under your slab is to carry waer to the sump pump) lateral drains cut in below the perimeter of the slab. Can run from $800-1500 range for a pump and pit depending on capacity and wiring situation, plus $500-1000 for an emergency battery-powered backup if desired. $1000-2500 range typically if lateral drains around the perimeter of the slab are necessary. Cheaper but sloppier and moisture-causing solution is small trenches or above-slab channels to carry the water to sump pump. These laterals are commonly held off on till you see if the sump pump can handle the issue itself, ASSUMING you have unfinished basement so a bit of seepage aroundbthe slab does no more damage than needing a mopping up. Personally, unless you have a continual seepage of water into basement or it is finished so leakage is critical, I would leave sump pump and drains for later - to see if your surface drainage changes eliminates the basement dampness problem, which it commonly does unless your water table rises to the basement slab level. Also, having a sump pump implies water issues and tolls against any future buyer finishing an unfinished basement, so it detracts from resale value if you have one.
Note these are off-the-cuff type numbers, NOT any sort of deliberate estimate - but I felt it was better to give you a ballpark than to just say go get estimates. Except for the floor drains, this sounds like a good job for a small 1-3 man excavation and hauling company, but make sure they have experience in putting in drain pipe and block walls and have good references in that area.
Note- if you are inclined to do it yourself work and have the time, most of this is good homeowner home improvement project material. You could have a contractor with a bobcat or small tractor with small backhoe come and pull the fence posts out (you could remove the above-ground apart easily), trench for the pipes, maybe move the rocks and sidewalk (though you could do that yourself with a few scraps of wood as skids and a 5 foot prybar assuming the walk is in piece, not continuously reinforced, and to do the bulk excavation and hauling for you, leaving the vegetation clearing, pipe work, trench backfilling, final slope dressing, block wall building, transplanting, etc to you - could cut your cost about 1/3-1/2. Basement slab drainage I consider a separate issue which would not cost significantly different if done as part of this job, or later if drainage channels or slab french drains are deemed necessary.
For the excavation - remember to get utility locates - I recommend once for bidding so they know where utilities are, then require the bidder to get relocates just before excavation starts. Gas, telephone, cable TV are commonly less than a foot down - water and sewer usually 3 feet or more but don't count on it. Also worry about septic system is you have that, and any power or water lines to/from well if you have a well. Plus of course your sprinkler system if in the way of proposed excavation.
Good Luck with your project
Excavating reviews in Parkersburg
These guys knew what they were doing and they were there for about an hour. They helped me out and I am happy to leave this review.
The bid was 3200 to 4000, dependent on several things. The 3200 bid was about $1000 lower than the previous bid I had gotten from someone else. And better than a third bid where the bidder was unable to get down into the city's hole to look at the situation because of a bad knee.
I signed a contract with because of the bid and the positive things I heard about him. Although I was expecting to get the work done in about three weeks, I got a call from saying that he thought they would be able to work my job in the next week because some other job they were doing had to be put on hold due to the equipment needed.
Their equipment and a portapotty showed up the day before they were due. They were on time first thing in the morning. They put down plywood to protect my grass and the were able to sling a large rhoddie which has survived well. I did hostas--and it was left to me to go through the dirt pile to retrieve them. [Note: if you have a flower bed near the work, clean out the bulbs before the workmen get there.]
One difficulty that was discovered was that the clean out drain for my house had been dry walled and tiled over so it complicated figuring out what was going on. The hope was that this company would be able to open a hole close to my front porch, find a good part of the 106 year old pipe, and attach a new PVC pipe from there to the street. However, once the hole was dug the pipe was in such bad condition, that they were unable to attach new pipe to it so they ended up having to come into the basement, cut through the concrete floor, dig another hole, and at that point sleeve between old installation out to the street. Since the original bid had been based on the exterior hole, I was dreading getting the final bill.
The job was finished in two days, the hole in the basement and the clean out valve were installed under a cabinet near the wall and the work looked really good. The soil outside was packed back in and the yard looked largely undisturbed. The city came out and refilled their hole, compacting the soil with equipment that made my house shake and the paintings on the wall dance.
Then disaster (well, okay, a ) struck. We had a day of torrential rains. In less than an hour I had an inch of water covering my basement. Luckily it was clean smelling. I called the city and the McBees. Got the city, left messages for the Bees. City came out and decided it was not their fault and that it was not a burst water pipe. called about 11 p.m. and after hearing the story indicated that there was no way it could be their fault but that he would have someone out at my place first thing the next day. Sure enough, his crew of three showed up.
I think I mentioned having two huge 100+ year old trees out front? One is an elm tree and every spring it produces millions of seeds about the size of a penny. That spring because we had had so little rain, the seeds had piled up on the porch roof, unnoticed until they were washed into the gutters and clogged the drains which then could not carry the rain away from the house. The crew cleaned out my front gutter and then left for their regular job. So far, knock on wood, there has been no more water in the basement. The sewer is working great, and I am singing the praises of this company. Their bid--well it still came in under the $4000 top.
By the way, when I mentioned the company to city workers--supervisors, street repairmen, inspectors--no one came right out and made a recommendation, but after the work was done, all of them said things that were very complimentary of the work that does. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Kern is already the largest oil producing county in the state, but could we produce even more? New estimates show our region is sitting on 15.4 billion barrels of oil, rivaling America's total conventional reserves.
It's an exciting prospect, but the oil industry isn't cashing in just yet because no company has been able to make wells on the formation profitable.
But, with the price of oil so high, companies are exploring, and some feel we're close to a new black gold rush.
High on a hill in the Temblor Range, a five-story high pumping unit pulls up oil from 9,500 feet. It's one of Veneco's eleven exploratory wells out there that's drilled into the untapped potential of the Monterey Shale Formation.
"It's a huge resource, potential resource for oil," said Randy Adams, former district deputy for the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources, known to many as DOGGR.
Nearly 2,000 square miles, the formation extends from Bakersfield north in pods.
"The biggest concentrations are probably in the areas just north, south and west of Kern County," said Mike Handren, San Joaquin Valley Operations Manager for Plains Exploration and Production or PXP, an oil company.
Unlike the county's conventional oil reserves, the Monterey is deep, as many as eleven Empire State Buildings stacked up underground.
"The Monterey is probably ranging in depth from 8,000 to 14,000 feet," said Handren.
The formation has been known about for years, but up until three years ago it was estimated to contain about three to four billion barrels of oil. But, as technology progressed that estimate went up to 15.4 billion barrels.
"The Monterey Shale is being touted as the largest oil reserve in the United States," said Handren.
It is five times larger than the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and the Marcellus Shale on the east coast, that recently ignited oil and gas booms in those areas.
"We're the number one oil county in the country, so add on top of that 15 billion barrels of oil that would continue out, you know, 100 years," said Richard Chapman, President/CEO of the Kern Economic Development Corporation.
Economists estimate the Monterey would generate $250 billion in tax revenue. Not to mention creating jobs and generating $1.2 trillion in indirect economic revenue.
"As an economic developer this is exciting," said Chapman.
So why aren't we drilling away for this gold mine?
"The problem is where we've seen the estimate, we've seen agencies like the Energy Information Agency, those are just estimates," said Adams. "The actual volume of oil is not proven yet."
This means no company has found a major producible oil deposit in the Monterey.
"There's seismic data that has identified the structure, but the seismic data can't identify the oil saturation within that structure. So, the way you find that out is you go drill exploratory wells," said Handren.
Wells that are being drilled according to the Bureau of Land Management, that owns thousands of acres on the Monterey. In the last three to five years, they've sold oil rights to those lands at record prices.
"We've seen an increase in activity on our federal lands," said Gabe Garcia, Assistant Field Manager for Minerals for the Bureau of Land Management Bakersfield field office.
In 2002, land leases averaged $2.25 an acre. In 2010, that price jumped to about $500 an acre, leveling off now to about $230.
"The most active players, so far, has been Veneco. And, Veneco has drilled, I believe, 28 wells looking for producible Monterey Shale," said Handren.
As of 2011, Veneco owned 158,000 acres, but has yet to report success from any of its exploratory wells.
Other major land owners on the Monterey include Berry Petroleum, Plains Exploration and Production, and National Fuel and Gas Company.
The biggest player is Occidental Petroleum Company. They've been drilling into the Monterey north of Shafter. Even if one of these wells proves productive, experts said production of the Monterey won't happen immediately.
"It is still two miles down there so it won't happen overnight," said Chapman.
Until they find it or give up, exploration will continue.
"If it is there it will be a huge resource and a boost to the economy," said Adams.
It will be a boost to the economy that may begin with the oil being pumped up right now from the Monterey.
"If you can find a good big pod of Monterey Shale in California we'll have a boom," said Handren. "It will kick off a boom."

Canadian transgender rights bill suffers legislative setback
An eight-year journey to have transgender rights included in Canadian anti-discrimination and hate laws just got longer.
Bill C-279 would include transgender and gender variant Canadians in the Canadian Human Rights Act and protect them against discrimination. The proposed bill would also prohibit hate speech or the incitement of genocide on the basis of gender identity in the Criminal Code.
However, the private member's bill, introduced by Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca NDP MP Randall Garrison, failed to make it to a final vote before the summer recess began last week.
The House of Commons passed the bill on March 20, whereupon it went on to the Canadian Senate.
Critics such as Calgary MP Rob Anders have dubbed it the "Bathroom Bill". Anders argued that the bill's aim is to allow transgender men access to women's washrooms.
Anonther thing that should be mentioned is male to female transgender individuals who are on female hormone & testosterone blockers have a low sex drive & some even have little interest in sex. Bob anders should educate himself first before he opens his Right wing biggoted yap.. Transgender people have enough hurdles to jump through in becoming their true selves, ..some of them dangerous...that the last thing they need is ignorance & uneducated comments from the Government.

Unfortunately, the answer is no. That is what is worrisome to a lot of people when they adopt a dog or puppy with several breeds mixed into it. The best thing to do is to do your research on each breed and get in contact with your local positive reinforcement trainer. Enrolling your puppy into puppy classes and when he/she gets older into obedience classes is going to be a major step in developing your puppy's outlook on the world. As well as plenty of social time at the dog park, pet stores and anywhere/everywhere else you can take your pup to socialize them as they grow.1/14/2015 10:32:53 AM

Contact your local Positive Reinforcement trainer. He/She will be able to help you with this situation. Muzzles restrict your dog's breathing which can be very dangerous.12/31/2014 11:49:40 AM
We could not find a muzzle for our Jindal. We were only going to use it to introduce cats to him. Ours only barks when he wants to chase rabbits or squirrels.1/1/2015 4:24:39 PM
Your vet is the only one qualified to tell you the other options available for your dog.7/11/2014 12:56:09 PM
Your dog should have been socialized with many different types of dogs as he/she grew up. But remember, like people, all dogs don't get along with every other dog. Understand that they may just not get along. But in general, have the interactions on leash to allow the dogs to get to know each other before allowing the off leash.7/11/2014 12:57:10 PM
Depends on what area you're in. In the US, if you're on the East Coast, prices for jindo's typically range from $200 to $500 (some may be lower or higher). Over on the West Coast (especially LA), the puppies can be as much as $1500. 2/26/2012 11:04:59 AM
FREE!(pay for shots and neuter) If you check animal shelters - online is easy. I never get puppies anymore, sure i love them but i have had great luck on adopting adult dogs under 1 year old. I just got my Jindo from the shelter March 4th, 2012 and she is obviously a purebred. Great dogs are left at shelters for all sorts of reasons. In my case her owner went back home to Korea and had to leave her behind. Just be aware, young adult Jindos are not super affectionate when they first meet a stranger. They are friendly but reserved, so don't let that put you off when you go looking for an older Jindo. Mine took a day of being in my home to start feeling at ease and get playful.3/5/2012 6:06:51 PM

I just got my Jindo from the animal shelter yesterday, she is 11 months and was at the shelter for 1 month. She appears to be purebred. I was worried that she would be difficult to win her trust, after reading about how loyal Jindos are to their first owner. However only one day later she is settling in my home and is opening up. I do have a very playful border collie. It took about 12 hours before the Jindo would play. Now just 24 hours after getting her she and my collie are good play buddies and the Jindo is responding to my call and is getting more affectionate. I'm pretty sure, seeing how fast she is settling in, that she will be bonding with me over the next few weeks. The 30 days in the kennel made it possible her to open up now that she is in a stable home and out of the kennel, she is very happy having freedom and a yard to play and wrestle with my collie.3/5/2012 5:58:39 PM
I just got at jindo from a rescue he was up in the hills for two months be for the rescue was able to trap him his 2 years old. He has been with me for one week he is a great dog. But I think someone must have beat him when any and one go to pet him he back up and lays down. He will go on walks with me he walks behind me. he is not playful at all he just lays on his bed or the rug. Will he ever come out of this????4/1/2013 5:56:04 PM
I recommend you should not. There are a few jindo breeds left. Although, they can't stop you from breeding them from another country, it is likely that the breed your trying to create wouldn't work. You need to have a professional breeding knowledge: start with getting a license. You should wait until the jindo dogs population grows rapidly fast and then breed them. I warn you though, in a breeders' world, only 5-10 in a million gets accepted. That's not much. Plus, families like purebred dogs because they can identify them easier than a mix. Study before you breed.1/10/2012 3:57:57 AM
Most of the Jindo breeders are Korean, and they are normally in areas with a high Korean population (LA, New York, northern VA). To breed him, you just have to find somebody with a female that you like and contact them. Normally, they'll allow for stud service and take their pick puppy from the litter, although they may settle for money as well. You'll just have to find somebody with a female (not spayed) and see what they say. 2/26/2012 3:28:14 PM
I have a Jindo in North Va. Anything above 80 he does not want to go out. He slows down. I don't think it would be good for the dog.12/24/2011 5:46:02 AM
I have 3 years old Jindo,and she is just awesome ! She has a great wathdog ability, which if any stranger comes near to our house, she starts to bark and becomes very aggressive. Otherwise, she is very friendly with my family and she can get along with my friends if she sees my friends after several times. 7/19/2011 3:12:49 PM
Jindo dogs are extremely loyal to their owners from the day you get one. They will protect you and your family as much as the can they are almost like Hachi. The are stories in Korea about Jindos getting lost from their original owners and take several months trying to find their owners until they do. They are the smartest dog I know and will do ANYTHING FOR YOU!!! 9/24/2011 3:46:14 AM
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Jindo breeders to list puppies for sale to rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies for sale on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

We are building a very contemporary open floor plan home (link to the thread discussing my floor plan is below).
Up until now we have been resigned to having the TV over the fireplace, however we are starting to consider putting it in the corner. Here are some photos of the type of fireplace/tv setup we are considering. With most of these we would lower the fireplace somewhat and inset the tv into the wall. This one is a bit to long, but we do like the landscape design of it:
At first I thought this was an awful idea to put it in the corner, however I'm thinking about it a bit more seriously, though I'm having trouble finding many inspiration photos. Our room has windows along the wall next to the fireplace as in this first more contemporary example. This first photo is actually the only example of a contemporary styled room with a corner fireplace. Maybe that is telling me there is a reason this shouldn't be done? :) Too traditional a room for us, but for ideas: |

I think it has to do with personal preference. When I watch TV, I want to look straight on, not up above a fireplace. I can see the beauty of the fireplace/TV combination since the rooms seem to have only one focal point. The separated ones seem to have 2 different focal points--it's a busier look. But, although I like the look of one, I want my TV lower. I'm dealing with this dilemma myself. We are in the planning stages. I really like the traditional one above and like the configuration, but I don't like the exit doors breaking up the living space. It's very warm and inviting. |

The first picture of the corner fireplace would be beautiful, in your home! I don't like staring at the fire, while I watch TV, so I'd choose the corner fireplace. And, you'll have three focal points, with the windows...but they'll relate well to one another, IMHO. Also, I've seen on the forums that many people feel the TV is too high, when it's above the fireplace. It looks like you're collecting some great inspiration pictures! :) |
With the type of fireplace you are considering, contemporary thin rectangle, I don't see a height problem with putting the TV above it. Where it gets too high is when you are putting the TV above a traditional, squarer fireplace. |
We were in same dilema and I chose to pur the TV over the fireplace. Drywall hasn't even started for us and now I wish I would have put the fireplace in the corner and the TV on the wall. Guess its just all personal preference but to late for me now! :) |
Hmm... Decisions, decisions... I think with the windows the curtains would come up too close to the fireplace and would end up being a hazard, so I may have solved my own dilemma! :) |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 11:44
Laura- Have you actually sat down in any of these show homes and pretended to watch TV? That may tell you, if the TV will be too high to view comfortably...or if it will work beautifully, in your space. |
I'd try really hard to put the TV somewhere else. Imagine trying to relax in front of the fire with a book with "Lost Bachelor Survivor Housewives" yammering overhead or to one side. I'd put the TV in an out-of-the-way place with solid doors and lots of soundproofing so that it doesn't dominate what will probably be a very nice house. TVs are especially problematic with open floor plans, it's important to be able to escape from them. |
To be honest, I'm only putting in the fireplace because it would look stupid without one, as EVERY new home in my area has one. (Most people try to convince me I need one in the office/den and master as well, which I am refusing to do). We will likely seldom use it, though maybe with a gas one I may switch it on some evenings for a bit. We live in California, though we are both transplants here, so we seldom find it cool enough to warrant needing it. Ideally I'd like the fireplace and TV on different walls altogether, but I can't do that without giving up windows, and that isn't an option! Currently our TV is over our fireplace and it doesn't bother me as our mantel is relatively low, and with those new landscape fireplaces it could be lower. For instance, in the second image the TV isn't too high, and I think the fireplace could even be dropped another few inches. I do think I solved my own issue as with the curtains it wouldn't be safe (or look good) to have a corner fireplace. So TV over the fireplace it is :) Also, now that I stare at all these photos some more I realize I like the clean look of not having a table beneath the TV, and if there wasn't a fireplace it looks silly to not have anything under the TV. So the decision is complete! Thanks for your advice, and helping me talk myself into a decision! :) |
rwiegand - I assume you mean that this room shouldn't have a TV at all? While I like that from a picture in a magazine sort of image of my life, the reality is that we need the TV in the main room (also putting it off to the side in a cabinet isn't doesn't work for us). That said, we are soundproofing our bedroom, and there will eventually be a full media room in the basement, a play room upstairs for the kids, and a TV in our room, so no shortage of options! If I need to escape the TV, I'll send however is watching it into one of the other rooms to watch it there! |
I meant to say, I'll send whomever is watching it to another room! :) |
Personally I think in a contemporary home the tv over the fireplace actually looks better - sleeker anyway, and not as busy. I have zero problems with the tv over the fireplace. We've had it before and had no trouble with strained necks or sight lines or anything like that. I see no reason to have a fire going and not be able to see it, and we do have the tv and have the fireplace going at the same time fairly often. But you have to think about YOUR use of both of these things and decide on form, function, or a combo of the two. |
Thanks mjtx2! I think I was trying to separate them more because I keep being told I should :) |

Advocates of the new effort to allow the rebates—led by the grassroots activist group Alliance for a Just Society and HCAN, which was instrumental in passing Obamacare—hope this approach will be a foot in the door, and lead to eventual price negotiations with the drug companies. How the proposal fares in Congress depends on whether the president himself is really serious about it and on the success of the grassroots campaign the groups are waging to build support for the measure.
For their part, drug companies are working hard to make sure that even the weaker measure dies quickly. (See accompanying post, Big Pharma's army of messengers.) As ammo, they are raising the same argument they have for years: The high prices of pharmaceuticals are justified because drug companies need the money for expensive R & D (a claim disputed in a recent analysis in the British Medical Journal,
which reported "more than four fifths of all funds for basic research to discover new drugs and vaccines come from public sources."
A German journalist I met recently asked me about the claim that drug companies need all this extra money to create new drugs. He wanted to know if anyone has ever really investigated that? Perhaps an op ed in the Los Angles Times last week by Dr. Arthur Kellerman, a senior policy researcher at the Rand Corp. (and a fine source for journalists) will help spark some much-needed reporting. Kellerman wrote:
If budget hawks are serious about lowering entitlement spending, they'll remove Medicare's straightjacket. Permitting the purchase of lower-cost drugs or care would be far more humane to seniors than cutting their benefits.
It's an idea worth discussing, but won't be unless journalists raise it.

Comic.original. Stripgenerator.com - Comic Creating Community. The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship. The Third International Conference on Comics Conference: Comics Rock took place over Thursday 28 June and Friday 29 June 2012 at Bournemouth University, United Kingdom.
Julia Round (Bournemouth) was the main organiser. Previous versions were held at Manchester Metropolitan University. Each day of the conference covered a different theme: Comics and Education for 28 June and Comics and Multimodal Adaptation for 29 June. Comics as Critique: Some Approaches to Graphic Teaching, Part 3. Posted: 5.7.12 by Elizabeth Losh and Jonathan Alexander Jonathan Ok, as promised, in this final installment in this series, I want to talk briefly about the assignments I used in my History and Theory of the Graphic Novel course, as well as the "graphic journals" we each kept throughout the ten-week term.
The assignments were actually pretty simple and straightforward: Comics as Critique: Some Approaches to Graphic Teaching, Part 2. Jonathan As promised, here is Part 2 of my thoughts and ideas about teaching with comics.
This time, I want to focus on the texts I assigned in my course dedicated to the graphic novel (described in this post). I wanted the works we read in the course to reflect a range of styles and themes in the history of the development of the comics medium and the genre of the graphic novel: Comics as Critique: Some Approaches to Graphic Teaching, part 1. Jonathan Taking comics seriously can take many forms.
Liz and I are interested in a variety of approaches to thinking about, practicing, and fostering students' (and colleagues') engagement with comic arts and how they intersect with literacy, media, rhetoric, and writing instruction. A pretty direct way to think about comics is, of course, offering courses about comics. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity not only to include comics and graphic books in a variety of my courses, but also to design and teach courses specifically about comics as a medium. Comic Books for Grown-Ups: 10 Masterpieces of Graphic Nonfiction. By Kirstin Butler Seeing the world in six-panel strips, or what Allen Ginsberg has to do with the wonders of zygotes.
Who doesn't love comic books? Comic Books as the Grimms' Fairy Tales of Pop Culture. By Maria Popova On making out the shape of our society through its gods of good and evil.
Comic books can be a medium for serious nonfiction and a canvas for creativity in album art, but they are their own medium with a singular visual vocabulary honed by generations of pioneering artists. In this excerpt from Masters of Comic Book Art (quaintly, only available on VHS), speculative fiction writer Harlan Ellison introduces ten of the world's greatest comic book artists, beginning with the great Jack Kirby. (He also mentions in passing a curious factoid: there are only five forms of art considered natively American — the banjo, jazz, musical comedy, the mystery story, and comic books.)
Comic books were the training ground for me in terms of ethics, in terms of the things I learned about courage, good and evil, what heroism was, right and wrong. But This Book Has Pictures! The Case for Graphic Novels in an AP Classroom. Make Complex Concepts Approachable Integrating graphic novels into my curriculum has been one of the best choices I have made as a teacher of both high- and lower-level students.
These novels can make a difficult subject interesting and relatable. I have seen many students with no previously expressed interest in language and literature excel in the analysis of a graphic novel. The graphic novel is also an excellent way to teach complex concepts to higher-level students and to introduce them to an important postmodern genre. The visual world has had increasing impact on our students' lives, and this is a way to connect to untapped portions of their minds.

A special boxed deluxe edition will also include both the DVD and Blu-ray version of the film, as well as a 60-page book and 7" vinyl EP of the film's six new Beatles songs, which were originally issued in the UK to complement the film's 1967 release.

What is it about lettuce cups? A Google search yields almost 12 million results. Their universal appeal and ubiquity on restaurant menus indicates that restaurateurs are making a good living from a dish that spans the Asian-American flavor spectrum.
At Larkspur's R'noh Thai, the recently added lettuce cup salad ($10.95) was a revelation. Topped with whole grilled shrimp, the salad of minced chicken, dry roasted coconut and peanuts is a fresh take on a familiar dish. Dressed in a sauce of roasted chilies, curry and lemon juice, the salad changed in flavor and texture from one bite to the next, first crunchy and sweet, then taut and tangy. I have not tasted another lettuce cup like it.
R'noh Thai is the work of Joe Watta and his partner Nok Diamond. Watta has been in the restaurant business since he was 9 years old at his mother's restaurant in Bangkok. "It is in my blood," he says.
Watta built the business around family recipes, but has made adaptations to suit the local clientele and produce offerings. The Americanized yum yai salad ($10.75) lost almost all of its Thai character and its appeal. Drizzled with a ho-hum mayonnaise-vinegar dressing, the white meat chicken, prawns and pale greens tasted flat and the dish went uneaten.
Intentionally mild pad se-ew ($10.50), its noodles glossy with sweet soy sauce, was thick with broccoli and eggs and a hit with the younger diners at the table. Barbecued pork ($11.75) was marinated overnight in a slurry of oyster sauce, honey, garlic and black pepper, then grilled for service. Sliced thin, the pork was supple and tender, its character ennobled by the sauce.
Clean-flavored and springy fresh rolls ($6.50) are a signature dish of R'noh Thai. Enveloped in lettuce and a soft rice paper wrapper, red cabbage and carrot rested alongside springy silver noodles. Tom ka soup ($5.25 for a small vegetable and tofu) was rather mild, the aromatic lemongrass and galangal subtle and vaguely citrusy.
R'noh Thai sits near the confluence of Tamalpais Creek and Larkspur Creek, and a seat on the back patio affords lovely views over the wetlands to the water. Inside, art representing Thai culture, including an intricate carving made by a friend in Thailand, hangs from the burnt orange walls.
The wine list is almost entirely Californian and a Rodney Strong Chardonnay will set you back $9.75 a glass, or $38 for a bottle. A bottle of Blue Moon beer goes for $5.25 and a bracing cup of hot ginger tea, a perfect match for the flavors on the table, is $2.50.
The sense of calm carries through from atmosphere to service. Numerous servers take orders and clear plates in a relaxed fashion. The Western sense of hurrying through a meal and clearing plates as soon as your fork comes to rest is, thankfully, not in evidence here.
At R'noh Thai, the flavors of Thai cuisine — sweet, sour, salty, bitter and hot — are subtly and often deftly blended with no dish expressing these elements too powerfully. R'noh Thai, like the rising sun of its name, builds flavors slowly over the course of a meal. It is a warm and welcoming, and sometimes surprising, restaurant.

How's Everyone! It's been five years since I signed up for FC, Wow! I'm going to be pretty quick(I have terrible Reading and writing skills). But, Basically when I joined I was atleast 8 or maybe 7, I remember spending atleast 7 hours a day playing FC, never getting bored. Aside the point.
I would like to thank every member of FC(From my Time) I know most of you are years older than me, and I Definitely was not a Enjoyable person to be around. The reason I want to thank you is for 5 awesome years, most of you seemed either oblivious or seemed to ignore my terrible grammar and spelling(I wrote no better in school :P). I'm pretty invisible about now, I just come on the forums every once and a while to see what's the Hap' (Hazard) . So yeah, Thanks for the amazing years, I'm going to make some levels and post a set (Maybe). :P
Fun Fact about me: I have a disorder where I have to finish what I start, or I scrap it all together. (Especially music).
Feel Free to post some fun facts about yourselves and reflect.
