View a video about stem cell research at Texas Heart Institute.
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study in which patients may volunteer to take part. The Stem Cell Center (SCC) at the Texas Heart Institute uses clinical trials to further the understanding of stem cells in relation to heart disease.
Clinical trials are part of a long, careful process, which may take many years. First, doctors study a new treatment in the lab. Then they often study the investigational treatment in animals. If a new research treatment shows promise, doctors then test it on people. Doctors do this in three to four steps, or phases. Phase I trials test to see if an investigational treatment is safe in people. Phase II trials test for efficacy. Phase III trials test if a new treatment is better than a standard treatment. Finally, the goal of Phase IV trials is to find more information about long-term side effects.
Is it safe?
The Stem Cell Center's most important job is to ensure the safety of patients.
First, the SCC ensures patient safety by following well-planned, FDA approved protocols. A protocol:
Second, the SCC ensures patient safety by using a careful informed consent process.
Third, our Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) protect patients by reviewing protocols and monitoring trials. The IRBs are committees of doctors, nurses, chaplains, social workers, lawyers and patients. They make sure that trials follow federal laws and that patients are protected.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) audits the IRBs' files. Also, FDA officials may visit the SCC at any time and review anything they choose related to clinical trials.
Am I able to take part?
Not all clinical trials are right for all patients. A trial may be safe for one patient to join, but not safe for another. Each protocol has strict rules that doctors must follow to decide who may join the clinical trial. These rules are called eligibility criteria. This protects patients from getting treatment that may harm them.
Eligibility criteria include information about you and your overall health:
How do I sign up?
If you meet pre-screening eligibility requirements after review of your medical records, you will be invited to the Texas Heart Institute for a screening visit. You will first go through a process called informed consent. The goal of informed consent is to make sure you understand the clinical trial's purpose, plan, risks and benefits.
The Research Coordinator will review the informed consent form in detail with you. During the informed consent process, please feel free to ask questions. Try to bring a family member or friend to help you ask questions and write down answers. Also, take time to make your decision. If you decide to join the clinical trial, you will be asked to sign the informed consent form. The Research Coordinator will also sign the form, and you will receive a copy.
What should I look for on the informed consent form?
Look for the following information on your informed consent form:
The informed consent process does not end once you sign the informed consent form. For example, your doctor must tell you if new risks or side effects of the treatment are found during the trial. Also, please be sure to ask any questions you may have at any time during the trial.
Clinical Trials FAQs
Who would be in charge of my care in the clinical trial?
Your primary doctor and cardiologist will still care for you. In a clinical trial, you will also have a:
Principal Investigator (PI): The PI is usually a doctor. He or she runs the clinical trial and makes sure that the health care team follows the plan.
Research Coordinator: The research coordinator teaches patients about the trial and collects data from patients on the trial. The research coordinator is a good contact if you have questions during a clinical trial.
Would there be any follow-up after the completion of a clinical trial?
Yes, you would continue to see your doctor for treatment and follow-up care.
Do I get paid for clinical trial participation?
Patients are not given monetary compensation for enrollment into the different studies. However, once enrolled in the trial, patients are not charged for any therapy or monitoring that is directly related to the research.
Would I be allowed to quit the clinical trial?
All patients in clinical trials are volunteers. You can choose to quit a clinical trial at any time.
What happens if I don't meet eligibility criteria for any of your enrolling trials?
If you don't meet eligibility criteria for any of our trials that are currently enrolling, we will store your contact information and medical history in a database. We will contact you if you appear to meet eligibility for any of our upcoming trials.
Current Research
The Stem Cell Center performs clinical and pre-clinical research in the specific area of cardiovascular disease.
We are currently enrolling patients with the following cardiovascular condition:
Patient Forms
We are a network of physicians, scientists, and support staff dedicated to studying stem cell therapy for treating heart disease. The goals of the Network are to complete research studies that will potentially lead to more effective treatments for patients with cardiovascular disease, and to share knowledge quickly with the healthcare community.

The Lady Hornets defeated the Ruleville Central Lady Tigers 63-54 in the championship game of the girls tournament, while the Trojans edged out the Coahoma AHS Tigers 51-46 in the championship game of the boys tournament. The Lady Hornets improved to 9-0, while the Trojans improved to 9-1. Ruleville fell to 7-4.
In the boys game, the Trojans had a dogfight on their hands. East Side took an early 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but Coahoma AHS quickly went on an 11-0 run to take an 11-10 lead. East Side was able to take a 15-11 lead at the end of the first quarter and a 27-23 lead at halftime.
The Tigers were able to battle back. With the score tied 36-36, Coahoma AHS's Terry Henderson hit a 3-point at the end of the third quarter buzzer to put the Tigers up 39-36 going into the final period.
The Trojans were able to battle back in the fourth period. John Paul Davis, who was held to just four points in the first three quarters, stepped his game up and scored eight points in the final period. Davis finished the game with 12 points.
"He's been a guy that's been contributing for me all year," East Side head coach Leroy Cotton said about Davis. "For him to come through at the end was really, really big for us. He didn't try to force things, and he just let the game come to him."
East Side's defense stepped up as well as the Trojans were able to outscore the Tigers 15-7 in the fourth quarter.
Bobby Jones Jr. led the Trojans with 16 points and was named the tournament Most Valuable Player.
"He played very well for me this summer and kind of faded at the start of the year," Cotton said about Jones. "He has listened to coaching and continued to work hard. He came up huge for us through out the tournament. I'm looking forward to him continuing his good play."
Perry Henry rounded out East Side's double-digit scorers with 11 points. Along with Jones, Davis and Charles Jackson made the all-tournament team. B.J. Hall made the all-tournament team for Broad Street, Khalil Strickland made the all-tournament team for JFK and Anthony Spivey made the all-tournament team for Ruleville.
In the girls game, the Lady Hornets had a battle of their own with the Lady Tigers. The Lady Hornets held a 28-21 lead at halftime. JFK had a tough time dealing with Ruleville's Shakira Singleton, who scored a game-high 26 points with four 3-pointers. The JFK trio of Frederica Haywood, Ieysha Mays and Alegsha Haywood were on top of their game to help put the Lady Hornets over the top. Frederica scored 21 points with 17 rebounds, three steals and two assists, followed by Mays with 20 points, 10 rebounds and two steals and Alegsha with 15 points and four 3-pointers. Frederica ended up earning tournament MVP honors with her teammates Alegsha and Ieysha joining her on the all-tournament team.
"Right now, we're ahead of where we were last year," JFK head coach Linda Allen said. "We have a senior ball club, and they know this is their last year. They've stepped up their game. We just want to take it one game at a time."
Ruleville Central head coach Chiquita Bracey said mistakes messed up her team.
"Overall, we played a pretty decent game, but we just had too many mental breakdowns through out the course of the game," Bracey said.
Finn and Singleton made the all-tournament team for Ruleville, Toneisha Bell made the all-tournament team for Broad Street and Shammia Love made the all-tournament team for East Side.
East Side and John F. Kennedy will return to action in the Bolivar County Tournament at East Side and D.M. Smith beginning Thursday, while Ruleville will host Gentry on Monday.

Youth Performance Company is a truly great nonprofit. I've never been involved with any other organization where I've received so much valuable guidance as a young person. I was fifteen when I did my first show there. I'm now twenty-one, and I don't know what my life would be like without YPC's involvement. I've had the opportunity not only to act in plays, but also to write, direct and stage manage various productions over the past six years - this has taught me countless things about theater, and also about myself as a person.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my own life. YPC has helped me figure out what I want out of life and the kind of person I want to be.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the friends I've made, among both the other volunteers and the staff.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Volunteer & Worked on theater and film productions (acting, writing, directing and stage managing), occasionally helped out in other capacities (assistant-teaching a youth class, helping to organize the office, etc.).

The Complete History of Tiger Woods' Signature Nike Golf Spikes
With Tiger Woods finally back on top of the golfing world, it's hard to believe that the iconic player has been with Nike for the past 17 years (originally signing a five year contract with the Swoosh at 25). Wearing his latest Nike TW 13 signature model, Woods won the Arnold Palmer tournament in March and is looking good in the Masters thus far. He was recently gifted a pretty sweet pair of custom Air Force 1s for his Masters appearance, proof that the golf sensation still makes sneakerheads everywhere envious. Taking a look back, Sneaker Report remembers some of Tiger's standout Nike signature models. This is The Complete History of Tiger Woods' Signature Nike Spikes.

Another tattoo…
This one is pretty old, but I still love it. If I bend my back, she gets taller…
This one is pretty old, but I still love it. If I bend my back, she gets taller…
Don't wish world peace, make it happen with small everyday actions!
Be committed, responsible, spiritual and sensitive, not blind, selfish and reckless.
You want love? Start by expressing it to the people close to you. More love will come as a result ?
Don't wish for prosperity, be prosperous, positive and constructive with your thoughts.
Whatever you believe is your reality and it will manifest in your life.
Don't expect the world to end in order to start changing, the change starts now and within ourselves.
Happy fucking new year!!! Let the music be with you!!!!
Happy new year!!! I really hope this new year makes all your wishes come true!
I feel blessed to be surrounded by amazing people and because I am doing what I love: MUSIC! And this new year has brought me so much already! So thanks and keep it coming
New projects, new gigs… my loved ones by my side! What else a girl could ask?
I tell you in advance that I will be playing this Jan 19th in Berlin, Feb 2nd in Stockholm and on Feb 17th in Sheffield… and this is only the warm up for the re release of the album in The Netherlands this March… I will keep you posted!
Love y'a!
I was still recovering from a cold today (picture it yourself: running nose that doesn't want to stop and an exhausted body requesting more sleep?) but that didn't stop me for waking up really early (7 am!!!) and running to the closest HM to be one of the firsts to enjoy (and spend money on) the Lanvin collection for H&M! And it was totally worth it!
Here what you've missed (or not!):
"Stardoll" is a really fun virtual doll house, where you can create your doll (boys and girls) and interact with other dolls, socialize, play games, etc.
I invite you to check it up… You will find fun games such as dress Natubella for a gig!
I love amusement parks, I love roller coasters and Stockholm has both and good ones!
I went to this amusement park: Gröna Lund in Stockholm Sweden, yesterday. I didn't want to rise my hopes up, knowing that Swedes are pretty conservative and kind of shy… in a way (believe me, I have been here for a while!). But I rushed my judgment. Not only the park was full of people, even though it was a rainy day, but I realized that when they want to have fun, they go for it with no restrain! Check "Insane" one of the roller coaster of the park and its main attraction these days! The ride doesn't last long and I think it's for the best! See it for yourselves
Needless to say, I had crazy fun, wouldn't have you?
It is not related to witches actually! Yesterday and as every year, the Swedes gathered around a big bonfire like trying to scare the last chill days away… does it really work? Is the winter gone for good? Ummm, I'll tell you soon (so far everything remains cold! brrrrrrr).
If you love animals like I do, this Academy Award winner documentary is a "must". When I finished watching it I couldn't believe how far human stupidity and omnipotence go… It's a shame that some people is so blinded by the concept of intelligence that they forget to apply it…
And "The Cove" it's only one example of this strange "superior" behavior that some human beings have…
Watch it, shed some tears if you feel like (I did!) but then do something to help this or other causes. It doesn't take much… maybe a sing up in some website… perhaps a small $$ collaboration… everything helps!
Here is a petition to stop the cruelty shown in the documentary, so if you are interested, just sign it!
Sometimes a little break is not bad at all, isn't is???
Working a lot in music, can make you as tired or even more than any other job! So I decided to enjoy myself on Friday. Have some friends over and throw this kind of horror night for them (I love horror films, by the way!).
What is on the menu?
Some nice snacks
* Fright Night (I have seen it before and I think it's a master piece that is worth to watch it more than once!)
Homemade pancakes with ice cream.
I am not sure if it will be in that specific order, but I am sure we all will enjoy it!
How about your weekend????
My grandma used to call me my little "Alice" making reference to the character of the story… I never asked her why though. Maybe because of me having a great imagination… or because I always seemed to be lost in a fantasy land…? I don't know. I guess I could ask her, but I rather keep the mystery…
Anyway, when I heard about the release of Tim Burton's movie, "Alice in Wonderland" of course I couldn't hold myself! I had to watch it and I did. In 3D of course
Here is how I look on those 3D glasses, by the way
Whenever I go to another city, I feel like a small kid. I want to see, touch, buy, experience EVERYTHING!!!! And London fulfills that perfectly. It's never enough time though because I am not a simple tourist, I work my ass off rehearsing and preparing the last details of the gigs I have and that leaves not much room for the rest… Nevertheless and between shows I managed to do some shopping and I went to see a MUSICAAAAAAL!!! Yes! I did and it was fantastic! Nordic King's choice and a good one! We went with a mutual friend and the 3 of us laughed so much!!! Here some pictures of the play. Oh, and the musical was Avenue Q, in case you want to see it
This new start of the year was completely different from me. Instead of the usual sun and warmth from Argentina, I went to Åre, Sweden, right to the snow and coldness to celebrate with with my Nordic King and some friends the upcoming 2010.
Words are not enough to describe the beauty I've seen there and the fear I have had in the immensity mountains. The landscape was overwhelming. So I better show you some pictures instead!
I hope that you all have had amazing celebrations and I wish all your dreams come true in this 2010 (but don't forget you are direct responsible of that! ).
I am going on a ski trip to Åre, Sweden, to celebrate new years! isn't it great? Only 2 days left and I will be there! Between the balance of the whole 2009 and the new projects for 2010, I will be up high ruling the mountain with my skills… To be honest, I have skied only once and it was long long ago, so wish me luck! hehe
I will go with my Nordic King, of course and 8 more friends, so it will be fun.
And I will charge my batteries for the beginning of 2010 that already seems to be very busy (I will be traveling to London in the 1st week of January among other stuff).
I hope you have great plans too

Running a league can be a very time-consuming job which is why we recommend using League Planner (LP). LP saves time and effort by collating entries, making and scheduling draws, balancing home and away fixtures and much, much more!
If you decide to publish your LP file, and have it 'converted' to an online league, this allows team captains to enter their own teams' results, saving the overall league organiser even more time; it also adds an exciting dynamic to the league experience as results and standings can be updated immediately for all players to see at the click of a button.
Online league entry is available, allowing team captains to enter and pay for their teams online, and the job of entering results can be massively facilitated by players linking themselves to their clubs so that they appear automatically on drop down menus when match results are inputted.
You will need a LP licence to use the software and, at the moment, it only works on Windows based operating systems, however converters can be installed for Apple product users.
*The LTA takes its responsibilities towards the welfare of young people in tennis very seriously and requires everyone in tennis who has significant contact with children, or access to their records, to have an Enhanced DBS Disclosure. If you are an accredited referee your DBS will need to be renewed every 3 years. If you are not an accredited referee your DBS must be less than 12 months old when you first apply for a licence and you will subsequently need to renew your DBS every 3 years.
Provided the requirements have been met your licence will be sent within 5 working days.
Once you have your LP licence you can apply to run a league by completing the league application form. Your league will be set up within 10 working days but please do not work on your LP file until you have received confirmation that your league has been set up.
Complete the League Application Form
As with most computer programmes the best way to learn is to read the guide and then practise. The LP User Guide (located at right hand side of resources area) is a comprehensive, step by step guide to all the features that are available. It is strongly recommended that you also watch the 'How To' Videos which guide users through key administrative tasks.
The LP software is continually being developed so it is important to check that you are using the latest version. Each version number can be released multiple times with new features so you need to check the release date and not just the version number.
Read about the new features to League Planner in this version
*Please wait to receive a 2015 licence before installing the 2015.1 version

How To Set Up the Trail Camera To Get Better Shots
One of the important parts of using a trail camera is its proper setup. It's not just throwing your camera up on the tree and expecting a deer or other game to walk past. By taking just a little more time and following some small steps the outcome will guarantee a more enjoyable scouting experience. You will have better images and will have a better idea of the game on the property you are watching.
First of all, you want the camera to be in an area that is frequented by the game that you want to watch. Try to find high traffic areas. It can be a trail leading to food or water. Try to find animal tracks. Your main focus should be to set up the camera at a location that the game will most likely cross.
In order to avoid the sun washing out the light from the taken pictures, mount the trail cam facing north or south. Make sure that it is not facing the sunrise and sunset. This simple step will eliminate any blurred and whited-out photos.
Since on most cameras the trigger time varies between 2 to 5 seconds, if you aim the cam directly across the trail, you might get a lot of photos with the game already out of the shot. So mount it at a 45 degree angle to the trail instead. This gives the camera wider viewing and after being triggered there's more potential that the animal will be captured in the frame. The second benefit of this position is that it won't be directly facing the animal, so there's less chance that it will spook it.
It's also important to choose the right background. It shouldn't be too busy with too many shrubs, trees and such. If there's such cover around the camera, it might be difficult to clearly make out an animal in the photo. It's better if the background is contrasting. A good background would be an open field with an open skyline, with water and with distant trees.
The animals are always on the look out for potential danger. They are always on high alert and you don't want to spook them with your camera. So what you want is to capture images of the animals without them knowing it.
All the trail cameras that you will find on the market (you can check the list of top ten here) come in a camouflage case that has the texture of tree bark. When setting up in any location, make sure that it does not stick out as a sore thumb. Mounting the trail camera on a single tree will still make it stand out, even though it has the camouflage. You can hide the cam in a pile of brush. However, make sure that the twigs don't obstruct the view of the camera.
Camera Settings
After mounting the camera, the final step would be adjusting the settings. This also plays a big part in the outcome of the image capturing. Depending on the situation, the settings that would be best for you may vary. For example, if your camera will be mounted on a high level and out of the animal's main line of sight, you can choose to use the burst or video mode. However, if your camera is mounted in a position that could get easily picked up by the animal, these two settings would not be suitable since they would spook the animal.
Some trail cameras allow adjusting the sensitivity level of the IR sensor. If your camera does support this feature, put it on high for open areas and on low for areas with a lot of brush and grass around.

The Outdoor Channel – Everything From Camping to Hunting and Fishing
Spending time in the outdoors is not just a fun pastime, it's also a great way to see the beautiful nature and tone up in the process. Whether you like camping, hiking, fishing or hunting, all are great ways to get out into the outdoors. It gives you a good chance for connection to the earth. Our outdoor channel blog was created as a guide for people who love to hunt, fish and camp. If you are looking for some tips or reviews of gear for these activities, you will find many useful guides on our pages. Being prepared with essential information, you can enhance your outdoor experience.
One of the best ways to spend time surrounded by nature is camping. While camping, you can also do hiking, fishing, kayaking, backpacking and so much more. If you have never camped before, you might think that it's too uncomfortable. But it doesn't have to be so. There're many campgrounds and campsites in the national parks, where you can experience the outdoor life the more "civilized way". This way you can start slow and gradually test your comfort zone. After some time you might be ready for real camping in the backcountry. These campgrounds can offer tents, water and different other amenities. If you are camping with kids, some camps might also have group activities and classes to keep entertained.
For camping in the backcountry, further in the wilderness, there are also a lot of equipment that can make your adventure more comfortable, fun and most importantly safe. Among the camping gear, there are the essential items and optional items that you might or might not need according to your preference and comfort needs. We are constantly reviewing new gear, like tents, sleeping bags, backpacks and much more.
To make sure that your camping trip goes smoothly with only enjoyable moments, you might want to be prepared with some useful information. First of all, it's very important for your safety. In the wilderness you should follow certain safety rules, especially in places with wild animals, and you should be prepared to handle emergency situations.
Camping is exceptional experience and also a great chance to bond with your family and friends. Sitting around the campfire and watching the starlit sky at night are unforgettable memories, especially if you share them with special people.
One of the favored hobbies of the outdoor enthusiast is fishing. It can be saltwater, freshwater or ice fishing. For those who practice this sport we have prepared plenty of fishing tips and advice on the techniques and more. So even if you are just starting out in this sport, with us you can learn how to fish with tips on how to tie the knots, and do a proper catch and release.
Just like camping, fishing is a great activity for a person of any age. Anyone can learn to fish. All it takes is just some time and practice. However, before fishing you should check your state fishing regulations, as you might need to purchase first a fishing license.
While finishing is not a dangerous sport, it's still very important to be prepared with safety precautions for your time on the water. For example, the boat should have one life jacket for each of the passengers. Before setting out into the waters, you should know the area and the depth and current strength. It's best that you have another person with you in case something goes wrong. Come equipped with proper clothing to protect you from the sun or bad weather. The fishing equipment should also be handled responsibly.
There are many fantastic places in the United States where you can find the perfect locations for fishing. Depending on the area, you can also fish for different species.
Outdoor Gear
For your activities in the outdoors you need to be equipped with appropriate gear. Having all the essentials you will be able to get the most out of your nature experience.
For camping you need certain outdoor gear that will make your stay surrounded by nature both safe and comfortable. There's equipment that is must have for any camping trip, such as a tent, sleeping bag and other.
For fishing you need a fishing rod as well as other gear required for any fishing practice.
In our category of outdoor gear you can find reviews and tips on how to choose and find the right equipment. From tents, backpacks and many other equipment that you might find useful for your outdoor experience.

Keep Warm in the Wilderness With a Camping Space Heater
The cold winter season is coming up and if you are a devoted camping enthusiast, you probably wouldn't want to pause your camping trips till the warm months come. Of course, for winter camping you will need a four season tent, a good sleeping pad that would insulate the cold coming from the ground, and a very warm sleeping bag to keep you warm on those chilly nights. But to really improve your camping experience and if you really don't like to be cold, you can add a space heater to your camping essentials list.
Since you won't have a power supply line to connect your heater, instead of the home electrical heater you will need a propane space heater or a portable kerosene heater. If your campground will be offering an electrical line then of course you can also consider an electrical heater. Choosing the best camping space heater, one important thing to keep in mind is safety. If you plan to place the heater in the tent, you need to be sure that your tent has enough space for it and that the walls won't be too close to each other.
Another important feature for camping heaters it portability. That's why propane and kerosene heaters are the better option here. To have them powered and running you don't need any cord connected to it, so you can take it anywhere with you. You can keep it in the tent to warm it up before you go to sleep, or give you heat when you wake up, or take it outside to keep your family warm in the chilly weather as you gather around for dinner or lunch. With a good variety of options available, you can find a model that would suit your preference and needs. You can find more compact or more powerful units.
If you are a backpacker, you obviously wouldn't include a heater to your gear list as it will add too much additional weight and you want your backpack to be as lightweight as possible. But on the other hand, if you are car camping and driving directly to your campsite, then a camping space heater can be an excellent addition, if not a must have item.
My camping heater of choice and one that I have been using for many years is Mr Heater Big Buddy. Mr Heater brand has a series of tent heaters and this model is one of the biggest among them. The highest setting of the unit offers 18,000 BTUs, which is the power enough to heat up about 400 square feet. I've got a big family and so accordingly I also have a big family tent. The high power of this propane heater is perfect to keep the large space inside our tent comfortably warm. The lowest setting of the heater is 4,000 BTUs. I decided to purchase it after reading some nice reviews on www.spaceheatercenter.com
Alternatively, if you have a small tent, you can opt for the standard Buddy model. Its highest setting is equivalent to the lowest of the Big Buddy's.
For even distribution of the heat and for keeping all the corners of the tent equally warm, the Mr Heater heaters feature a fan blower system. To keep your mind at ease, the units are also equipped with essential safety features.

Battery Operated Blenders – The Perfect Solution for Healthy Meals While Camping
Many of us have gotten used to having a blender in the kitchen and it has become one of the most essential tools there. The blenders today keep developing and giving us new options. We are given more blending options and evolving functions. From the many options we can also choose either a basic blender or a battery operated blender. If you are an avid traveler and camper, then a portable battery operated blender can be very handy. With such a blender you can enjoy a nice smoothie or a strawberry daiquiri or some other blend right in the outdoors. This blender you can take anywhere with you, be it camping, tailgating or picnicking.
Among the best battery operated blenders, stands out the Coleman rechargeable portable blender. This unit was designed specifically to fit the needs of campers, mariners, tailgaters and of those who use it at home. It's lightweight and incorporates a durable and powerful motor. It's convenient for camping, as it offers many functions for preparing a variety of blenders and its lightweight makes for convenient portability.Full charge takes about 24 hours and this will give enough power to make about 20-30 pitchers of blends. The full pitcher is 48 ounces and you can measure your mixture using the measurement markings on the container.
Another popular battery operated blender is Margaritaville DM-900 Frozen Concoction Maker. It also operates without any cord. You just charge the 18-volt Ni-Cd battery pack and then you can use the charge to blend up to 80 drinks. It's the perfect choice for those who love frozen drinks. It shaves ice and prepares your favorite drink. You can also create your perfect consistency for your taste by switching the shave only or the blend only controls. The 36 ounces container can prepare up to three drinks in one blend. The pre-programmed settings of the blender also include options for you to choose to prepare either one, two or three drinks in one cycle. You can read more about batter powered blenders on Blender Judge.
Battery powered blenders are obviously not something that you could include into your backpacking gear. But if you are car camping, it can be a great addition to your cooking gear. They are great and extremely convenient for making various blended drinks, but also can be a big help in preparing different foods. Their functions allow more versatility in cooking camping dinners and lunches.If you follow a healthy diet, then a battery powered blender can become a useful tool that would help you stick to it even when away from the city utilities. You can fully charge it and operate the unit on batteries your whole camping trip. With the unit at hand, you can always prepare any healthy smoothie or shake in just a matter of seconds and then enjoy it as you sit with your family around the fire.
The models we have mentioned are the most popular models of this kind of blenders and which are perfectly suitable for taking camping or other outdoor activities. With a battery powered blender you get the convenience of preparing your favorite meals and drinks anywhere you go. They are compact, so you easily through it in the car with your other camping gear and essentials. This type of blenders is also quite affordable, but this doesn't mean that they are less durable and not as powerful. Coleman and Margaritaville, especially, are designed for heavy use and offer good durability. You can check more blender reviews on www.blenderjudge.com

Portable Water Softener For RV Campers
If you are an RV owner, then you probably do a lot of travelling throughout different states, regions, or maybe even countries while enjoying the main benefits provided by camping and seeing new places. However, one common problem for most of the RV travellers is water. As you change your place of stay so often, you never know what the quality of the water source at the campsite will be. From my own experience, I can say that in most of the campsites I stayed at, the water was hard. We all know that it's a common problem in many households across the country and many people have a water softener at home as a solution to the problem. But what if you are always on the road? You can also get treatment for hard water with the help of a portable water softener.
What makes the water hard? The presence in it of calcium and magnesium in high amounts. Hard water can be quite destructive for the RV's plumbing system and water heater, building up scale and rust. It also leaves film in the shower, faucets and sinks, so you will end up doing a lot of scrubbing if you don't get treatment to soften the water. Hard water can also affect you, making your skin and hair dry.
If you are an avid camper, a great addition to your camping equipment can be a portable water softener. They are usually available in compact sizes, so you can easily fit it in even the tightest place in your RV. Compared to whole house water softeners, they offer less capacity. For most of the softening systems you don't even need electricity, you just directly connect it to the water supply.
Some of the water softening models also have water filtering capabilities. So you will have the benefits of not only soft, but also clean water for drinking. For their work you will need salt. Some require special water softener salt, but some you can run just on traditional table salt.
The model we are using is Watts . What we like about it is its compact size. It did take up some space, but still in our RV it fit perfectly. Its other benefit is the use of standard salt, so we don't have huge bags of salt stored specifically for the water softening. But most importantly, what we like most about this water softener, is its effectiveness and the result we get with the water. After installing it, we saw considerable change in the water. After washing dishes, I don't see anymore any film building up on the dishes or sink. My skin doesn't feel dry anymore and the soap lathers better and it's easier to wash it off. You can have more information at water softener center.
Water is very important for our lives, so it's also important that the water we consume and use is of good quality. Otherwise, it can do us more harm than good. But when you are spending a lot of time on the road, it might seem difficult. However, with portable water softeners it's made very easy to have soft healthy water anywhere you are. When you are staying at a campsite, and using the water from the campsite source for showering, washing dishes and other, you will always have softened water.

Choosing a Family Camping Tent
Tents are available in all shapes and sizes. In all the stores and catalogs you will find a wide variety of options. But the right one for you might not work for someone else. So choosing the perfect tent for your family, you should first check its certain features and consider several factors.
The most important feature of the tent is its size. You can find tents sized as two man, one man, four man and so on. However, it's always better to choose a tent that is sized for at least one person more, better two, than you plan to fit in. The size rating of the tents means only the number of people you can cram into it without also offering any extra space that could be used for gear for example. So there'll be four of you, it's best to have a four man tent. A four man tent might fit comfortably four people only if there are two adults and two very small kids. Each person should have at least 30 square feet of floor space.
If you are camping with your kids and camping by car, you can choose a bigger tent, since you won't have the issue of carrying the heavy load. There are many space tents that will give not just enough space for comfortable sleep, but also enough extra space to store your gear, for the kids to play and to stand up in full height.
There are various standard tent shapes, such as dome, A-frame and others. The most common shape is probably the dome shape. It's constructed using two or more poles that are intersected and form a round or square form. They usually offer quite good space inside, offer great strength and are not that heavy. They also offer good overhead room, so in some of them you can comfortably stand up.
The A-frame tents feature a two-legged frame at the outer ends, so the interior has triangular space. It provides good headroom, but the poles are quite heavy, which is required for rigidity. This shape is becoming less popular.
Most of the tents you will find now are made of nylon. It's a strong material that well withstands the weather. The waterproofing feature is provided by the coated nylon. Check that the tent has good ventilation, for which it should have windows made of nylon mesh. The floor of the tent should be made of stronger and rip-stop fabric.
Different weather conditions will have different demands on the tent. Strong winds will require the tent to have sturdy poles and strong fabric. Rainy weather requires good waterproofing. So get a tent that has a rain fly and it will protect you from both rain and sun. The floor should also be made of coated nylon and keep the tent dry inside.
If you will be camping in cold weathers with snow, then a better option would be a mountaineering tent or a three-season tent. For cool weather you can also consider a smaller tent, as your body heat will keep it warmer inside than with a bigger tent. However, you might consider using a tent heater. In this case a bigger tent would be more suitable, as in a small tent having it will not be as safe due to the closeness of the walls.
For the strength and protection of the tent, it should also be reinforced with nylon tape. The stitched tape into each seam makes it stronger and extra weatherproof. For it to be also waterproof, the seams should also be sealed.
Mostly you will find that all the poles of the tents are made from fiberglass or aluminum. Also, usually the poles are linked with an elastic shock cord, which makes it easy for setting them up together for putting up the tent.
One more thing to consider is your budget. For a higher price you can find a stronger tent that is made of thicker fabric, stronger poles and is more protected for different weathers. It will be able to better withstand heavy rain and strong winds. Generally they will last longer and will be in your use for many years.
However, if you are just starting out, you might want to start with a less expensive tent. Most likely your first trip will be during a warm season and with some "civilization" close by. After you gain some experience of the outdoors, you can upgrade to a more advanced and a more expensive tent.

Choosing the Fishing Technique
Your fishing technique should vary depending on the particular species of fish that you are targeting. So for one group of species there are a few fishing methods preferred, which can also vary by season. However, you might that one particular technique is working best for you. So you can try several and find the one that gives bites. You can also the local fishing reports before you go out into the waters and get some insight on what is working best at that place and time.
Different fishes have their own behavior and your goal is to find the right technique for that behavior. For example, some fish feed on the bottom of the waters, while others only in shallow waters. Also, consider what the fish prefers, can be other fish, insects or just anything on the bottom. The next thing to consider is whether to use natural bite or artificial lure. For certain species one or the other can be better, while for others it doesn't matter. But if you don't have particular species to target, your best bet would be to use live bait.
Fishing technique names are usually based on the action of the bait or lire. Below you can get more insight on the techniques that can be used both in salt and freshwater.
Techniques For Live Bait
Live Lining and Trolling
This method is commonly used by new anglers that are just learning to fish. To perform this technique you need to drop the bait into the water and allow it to freely swim at the end of your line. If you are fishing from a boat, you can drop the bait and then pull or troll it behind the boat. To keep the bait down you can hook a weight on the line.
Drifting a Bait
This method is done from a slowly moving boat. You put a weight on your line and drop it into the water, leaving it to drift near the bottom. With the slow motion of the boat, it will also slowly pull the bait. Another option is to drift the bait under a popping cork or bobber.
Bottom Fishing
Some fish are mostly found on the bottom, so to catch it you will need to have the bait down there as well. You will need to use a sinker or a weight on the line. Rig it bellow the hook to hold the bait down at the bottom. Try a 3-way rig, but if the current is strong you might need a heavier one. After dropping the bait, let it float along the boat and wait for it to get a bite. From time to time check that the hook still has the bait.
This method is also sometimes called chunking. It's an additional method to other fishing techniques. It works by dropping into the water chum made of ground up bait. This creates a scent trail for the fish to follow to your baits. As chum you can either use creamed corn, ground fish, cat food or anything else that creates a fish-like scent.
Techniques for Artificial Lures
Cast and Retrieve
Cast and retrieve involves motions of tossing the lure out and then reeling it back. As for lure, you can choose whatever you like, be it swimbait, spinner or a crankbait. For this method you need to toss out the lure to your target and let it fall to the desired depth. Then reel the fish in, mimicking a swimming fish, for which you can also use varying speeds. After completion, wait for a couple of seconds and then cast the lure again.
Top Water Fishing
For this method you will need to use a floating lure with a variation of cast and retrieve. You cast the lure to get it to your desired location, then you reel it in to mimic a fish's meal. You can choose different lures, such as poppers with a concave face to make a big splash when jerking the lure on the surface, or it can a lure that has a head shaking back and forth imitating a dying baitfish on the surface.
Jigging technique requires a lot of action. You cast or drop down the lure, wait till the spoon hits the bottom and then quickly pop your rod tip up a little. Drop the lure down again and reel down a bit in order to keep the light tight. Keep repeating. This method creates an imitation of an injured baitfish for the targeted fish to bite.
Trolling with Lures
Trolling with Lures is a good method while boating. You drag the lure a good way behind a slowly moving boat. The boat's motion imparts the lure's action. Depending on the lure you are using, the length of the let out line and type of the line, the speed of the trolling will vary.
Bottom Bouncing
This technique is also done from a drifting boat. Use a jig or bait to drag it along the bottom. As you drag, the lure bounces along the bottom and creates small clouds of mud and sand.

Gearing Up With the Essentials For Camping
If you are new to camping, there are some things that you need to familiarize yourself with. To make your camping trip safe and enjoyable, you should learn more about the gear that you will need. You can go with a seasoned camper and learn everything from him. But if that isn't your option, then below you can find some useful tips.
What is the most important gear? First of all, you will need shelter and other gear for comfortable sleep, such as sleeping bags and pads. Other essentials include water, food, cooking utensils and safety gear, such as first-aid-kit, mosquito repellent and other. If you are backpacking, you will need a backpack. For car campers, there's more possibility of taking a bigger load of gear that could provide more comfort during your camping. For example, you can take a bigger tent with an air mattress for more comfortable nights, a cooler for keeping the food, table and chairs, lantern and other equipment that would not be suitable for a backpacker.
Choosing a tent, make sure that you pick an appropriate one for the type of camping you will be doing. If it's car camping, then you can choose of the size you want. For a backpacker, the weight of the tent would be one of the most important factors when choosing. Think of how many people you need to accommodate in one tent and find one that will have the appropriate size. The other factor to consider is the weather. Tents are designed for different seasons. So you can find a lightweight summer tent or a 4 season more protected tent that you can use in winter and for mountaineering. The tent protects you against bad weather and unfriendly outdoor pests.
To keep you comfortable during the night in the outdoors, you will also need some type of bedding. Again, depending on the type of camping, the bedding can also differ. Going to your campsite by car, you have more options to make the sleep more comfortable. For instance, while camping you will need something to cushion you from the hard ground and going by car you can take an air mattress, but backpacking you can only take a sleeping pad. However, there are many sleeping pads that will also provide sufficient cushioning and insulation. Some of the good options among sleeping pads are the inflatable models. Whenever you are setting up your bedding, you can have it ready in seconds.
It's also important to include in your camping gear a good sleeping bag. It should be warm enough for the weather you'll be camping out in. If backpacking, just like with the rest of the gear, look for the sleeping bag the weight of which you would feel comfortable carrying.
Next thing on the list should be a pack to carry all your gear. For a backpacker, the lighter the bag the better. It should also be roomy enough to fit all your essentials. So depending on if it's just a weekend trip or a week trip, you might need a bigger or smaller pack. Choosing the bag, check its features. Make sure that is has a quality built design that's made of durable materials to withstand heavy use.
Additionally, to the four items mentioned above, you will need food and water, as well some utensils to cook in. Also, bring appropriate clothing, a GPS to keep you on the track, chairs and table, fire starter, and other gear that you think is necessary.
Preparing your gear for camping trip, make a checklist. This way you will make sure that no items are forgotten. You can make the list once and use it later every time you go camping.

It's great for what it is – very rustic, off the beaten path. We used it as an overnight stop on our way from Southern California to the coastal redwoods. No traffic noise at all – it's about a mile off Highway 20. The back-in sites next to the creek were quite large. The sites were level with a dirt surface – probably gets muddy in wet weather, but we had no problem. The management was very accommodating and pleasant. - Prof Dan
Definitely a laid back, rustic campground. It felt like we were in someone's back yard. Sites are close together. Very shaded. Some low hanging trees. Wire fencing between sites which makes the sites feel smaller. We had no one on either side of us. We would have felt much more comfortable if there was no fence. Felt closed in with the wire fencing. Grill had garbage in it. Hook ups were only W&E with dump station. We had to wait over an hour to have the electric turned on. Bathrooms are old but clean, Pets are allowed, but not welcome. $2./day per pet charge. Dog waste in our site. No Verizon or Sprint Internet. No Verizon or AT&T signal. Nice swimming pond, basketball court, and communal large campfire but full of garbage. Would not come back. - Fur Mom
This campground located 1 1/2 miles from highway 20 is a rough hewn gem. We arrived late, in the dark, and the owner greeted us and then took us to our camp-site. She stayed while we hooked up and then said, "You seem tired, if you are not leaving early, you can pay in the morning." Pretty amazing, and yes we were tired so we paid in the morning. The stars put on such a display without any ambient light to compete with for their brilliance. The silence was quite unbelievable, simply no sounds except the forest and its animals. The setting for this park is beautiful, forest and glade. There are wild turkeys here that will bid you adieu. Our WiFi worked fine so we didn't seek out additional services, which is why I don't know what are available. Also I am not exactly sure about the number of camp-sites. Kids would absolutely love this place, with its wild and natural activities. We will check in here again as we travel up and down Highways 101 and 20. - rvgypsy1

Full hookup site, with 3-channels of cable TV and WiFi (free but slow). Picnic table, no fire pit. The Office has basic food and plenty of fishing bait and tackle. Dirt and gravel sites, semi-level. Showers cost 25-cents for 3-minutes. Some road noise from Hwy-20 but not too bad. Nice fishing dock and club house. Helpful and friendly staff. - zigzag
Small RV Park, dirt and gravel, some leveling required. No discounts offered, we had one of the four, full hookup sites, which are back-ins. You'll need about 25' of electric cord and water hose to reach the box as "some, not all" of the sites have it located on passenger side, and you have to go under your RV to connect. Wi-Fi worked fine, cable TV has four channels. Restrooms were clean, showers have a quarter machine slot. A nice covered fishing dock, roped swimming area, multi-purpose building, and small boat launch. Some highway noise at night, but not bad. Staff was friendly and informative. - zigzag
No discounts for RV associations. Small Park. Roads to the park are narrow. We had reserved one of the 4 sites that have sewer hookup. It was in the trees that blocked our Satellite antenna. We moved to another site to be able to us the satellite. Their Wi-Fi worked very well. Sprint Mobile Broadband was in roaming area. The sites are narrow. We could only stay 4 days because they said the park was booked for the Labor day weekend. I found out later, that people book this park for the various holidays 1 or 2 years in advance. During our stay the park was mostly empty. Roads and sites are gravel or dirt. Only 2 restrooms by the lake. One for men and one for women. One toilet and one shower in each. Shower was 3'X 3' as well as the dressing area, so not much space to change. Shower's cost 25 cents for about 3 minutes. With only 4 sites with sewer, you must dump as you go out. If someone is dumping, there is no room for someone else to come in or go out. There is noise from Highway 101 which is just across the lake. So you can hear some road noise. Sandy beach area for swimmers. Boat launch and dock on one side of park for fisherman. They do have kayaks or pontoon boats for rent. - Jerry Bordelon

The road is very narrow getting to and from the RV Park. The owners recommend entering Blue Lake Road from the West. If the gate is locked, beep your horn and they will open it for you. Sites were gravel and dirt, only 30 amp with water and sewer. Picnic table, a few have fire rings, some with shade. Showers were old but functional. Fishing was great and the lake is 40' deep in most places. They have a boat launch and also rent boats, speed limit is 5mph. They have three docks that you can fish from. You hear the traffic on Hwy-20. Wi-Fi was poor for us but our friends received it fine. No cable or antenna TV reception. Owners were very nice and helpful. - zigzag
Beautiful and secluded. Narrows is a proper name. They have a one way road that the county claims is 2 way. We were terrified coming in and leaving, prayed no one was coming the other direction. Once in the park the lake was beautiful and stocked with fish. The only downfall was that the main highway and you heard traffic constantly. - LadyBird
Owners were great to work with. Fun area for kids to fish, rent boats etc. The only problem was that the restrooms/showers get a lot of sand from the beach area next to the office, and the restrooms become muddy from the use. There is a lot of clutter around the office from old broken down equipment, so they could clean it up some. Rates are reasonable for camping and the rentals. - Kingtriton04

Jones Very
From Wikiquote
Jones Very (August 28, 1813 – May 8, 1880) was an American essayist, poet, clergymen, and mystic associated with the American Transcendentalism movement. He was known as a scholar of William Shakespeare and many of his poems were Shakespearean sonnets. He was well-known and respected amongst the Transcendentalists, though he had a mental breakdown early in his career.
- I looked to find a man who walked with God,
Like the translated patriarch of old;--
Though gladdened millions on His footstool trod,
Yet none with him did such sweet converse hold;
I heard the wind in low complaint go by
That none his melodies like him could hear;
Day unto day spoke wisdom from on high,
Yet none like David turned a willing ear;
God walked alone unhonored through the earth;
For Him no heart-built temple open stood,
The soul forgetful of her nobler birth
Had hewn him lofty shrines of stone and wood,
And left unfinished and in ruins still
The only temple he delights to fill.- "Enoch"
- Come! for I need Thy love,
More than the flower the dew, or grass the rain;
Come like Thy Holy Dove,
And let me in Thy sight rejoice to live again.- Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 390.

"My chosen card design complemented my chosen photos so the colours worked really well together as well as the photo composition. I couldn't be happier with the end product."
"Adorable design, easy to personalize (I even changed the wording at the top from "our sweet addition" to "our sweet daughter", which was an added bonus for me since not all photo card sites offer that option) and super fast shipping. The paper is great quality and the printing is beautiful. I've gotten lots of compliments on them :) Highly recommend these!!b"

Indeed, the Post often generates more unexpected, quirky and downright startling stories behind the scenes than appear in the average issue. As the trio of tales below demonstrates, journalists at the Post could spice up their story lists merely by reporting on themselves.
Post Toast No. 1 -- The race is off: This year's Denver mayoral campaign, which comes to a close on June 3, has been a largely tedious affair, with skunk-haired, guitar-strumming auditor Don Mares failing thus far to knock goofy brewpub boy John Hickenlooper off his bar stool. The only thing that might stop the Hick at this juncture is if the observation one local television viewer shared with yours truly gets around. After realizing that Hickenlooper stares at himself in mirrors for extended stretches during two of his TV commercials, the caller concluded that he must be a narcissist. Love the city, love yourself.
The Rocky has missed this angle, but not many others. Aside from a few stumbles, like a too-prominent May 22 piece about an Aurora fifth-grader devoted to Hickenlooper (no wonder Big John's a narcissist), the Rocky has regularly offered up fresher, cheekier, more trenchant election-season coverage as a whole than has the Post. Consider that the Post's campaign-notes section, Spin Cycled, is essentially a graphically underwhelming, less amusing homage to a can't-miss News feature dubbed The Stump.
To make things worse, Cindy Brovsky, a veteran reporter who gave needed perspective and heft to the Post's reporting of mayoral matters, abruptly quit her job just as the runoff between Mares and Hickenlooper was getting under way. Also due to depart soon is Ryan Morgan, who's been on the campaign beat, too.
Rumormongers hint that Morgan, who didn't return a call on this topic, is being let go because of several recent errors. Post editor Greg Moore says this theory has no foundation. After disclosing that Morgan won a Colorado Press Association award in February for journalistic creativity (and not of the sort the New York Times's Jayson Blair practiced), Moore emphasized that "Ryan Morgan isn't a full-time staff member. He was an intern here, then filled in temporarily for a succession of people on maternity and book leave. Now that time is up, and we just don't have a full-time slot for him. The music stopped, and there was no seat."
Like Morgan, Brovsky failed to reply to Westword's interview requests, but Moore offers some tantalizing clues about her choice to split. "The retooling of our political team may have been a precipitating event," he reveals. "What we wanted to do was reorganize ourselves a little for the general election and have people with specific responsibilities, including designating a lead writer, Karen Crummy, and having Cindy and another reporter cover the trail -- what the candidates were doing and saying." Brovsky "seemed fine with" this assignment at first, Moore allows, yet shortly thereafter, "she turned in her ID card and her laptop and said she was resigning. And she did."
With Brovsky gone, is the Post now in an even weaker campaign-reporting position vis-à-vis the News? Moore isn't wasting his time worrying about the potential repercussions. "It's always tough to lose somebody right in the midst of coverage," he says, "but we've got a lot of good people at the Post, and we're pushing forward."
So, too, are the candidates -- although, luckily, not for much longer.
Post Toast No. 2 -- On the frontlines: Recently in this space ("Coming Attractions," May 15), Diane Eicher, who pens a bi-weekly media column for the Rocky, stated that she and her writing partner, Joe Bullard, shied away from printing the name of Claire Martin, a Post staffer whose obituary writing they had criticized, because they'd been asked by their editors to avoid getting unnecessarily personal. Apparently this recommendation didn't prevent them from specifically fingering the work of Martin's significant other, Post international-affairs scribe Bruce Finley, in a March 22 salvo. After picking apart a pair of articles penned by Finley in Syria and published just before the beginning of the war against Iraq, they concluded with a "reader alert: If you want one-sided views on the Middle East situation, Finley's stories are for you. If you seek a more balanced report, look elsewhere."
This opinion is substantially justified. Finley's writing in the pieces seized on by Eicher and Bullard slanted leftward, but it wasn't labeled as analysis; some observers of departed Rocky internationalist Holger Jensen had similar gripes. At the same time, the perspectives Finley sought out were being largely ignored by other media outlets in the heavy breathing lead-up to the Iraq attack. Viewed independently, the articles weren't especially evenhanded, but they went a ways toward offsetting the preponderance of reporting, especially on cable television, that listed in the opposite direction.

#WLTOP10 Mindful Moments of 2013
Every month, we at Wanderlust will be releasing a #WLTop10 list, filled with raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, and a few more of our favorite things. To kick things off, we're reflecting on some of the most mindful and moving moments of the year, magical moments that embody "yoga" in their own right. Take a look at our selections below, and please comment and share some favorites of your own!
Dove Inner Beauty Campaign
It's not your average beauty campaign. In this moving experiment, Dove shows how we tend to focus on our imperfections, failing to see ourselves as beautiful as others view us. Thanks Dove for reminding us to stop honing in on our unfavorable features, and start seeing the beauty that is.
"Touching Strangers"
Ask two total strangers to take an affectionate picture and you know what you'll find? We're not as different as we seem. When Richard Renaldi asks strangers off the street to get affectionate, he casts seemingly opposite "types" and allows these unlikely pairs to form a bond, by caring for each other, even if just for a moment. "We are probably missing so much about the people all around us," says one of the subjects after the shoot.
In times of unspeakable tragedy and baffling loss, sometimes all we can think to do is run. That was surely the case when #RunforBoston made running history by becoming the first ever non-stop relay to run across America. Spanning from LA to Boston, the campaign raised $91,000 to help the victims of the Boston bombings, and an inspirational running community was born.
Tips For Jesus
You only have to go as far as your local restaurant to perform a bit of charity, suggests the mind behind "Tips for Jesus." The exuberant tipper says they're "doing the lord's work, one tip at a time," surprising people with enormous gratuities in restaurants across the country. He's been filling in the tip line with bonuses as large as $10,000. See some stunningly large dinner checks and follow the generosity here.
Real talk about the word "feminist"
When Joss Whedon spoke about gender equality at an "Equality Now" dinner, he said some things that required major (ahem) balls. And he really made some perfect points.
"I hate feminist. Is this a good time to bring that up? Is this the right forum for that?" Joss Whedon said at the beginning of his speech," I didn't say I hate feminists; I said I hate feminist. I'm talking about the word." And so began one of the best articulated explanations on the power of words to shape our understanding of a movement in recent history, and the introduction of a new word, "genderist."
Pope Francis is a true Martyr
It's a scene straight out of a movie – Pope Francis was 'sneaking out of the Vatican at night to give money to poor people on the streets of Rome.' The Pope would dress as a regular priest, so not to be stopped from doing his duty. While many of us may speak about our intentions to help the poor, this is a shining example of how this pope is walking the talk about helping your less fortunate brothers.
Malala Yousafzai Makes Jon Stewart Cry (and makes us tear up, too!)
In the heartwarming interview that quickly swept social networks everywhere, inspiring Malala Yousafzai makes Jon Stewart cry discussing the importance of education in diffusing terrorism and empowering women. Malala tells her story of how she was shot in the neck and head, and how if she could go back in time, her instinct would be to "hit her attacker with her shoe," but that she wouldn't, because voilence is never the answer. Amazing compassion from this wise 16-year old.
Jason Collins Comes Clean
The 34-year-old NBA star raised his hand and started the conversation about homosexuality and sports. His ability to speak up is an inspiration to us all, and one more step in the direction of conversation, understanding and acceptance.
"If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand," says the athlete, "The recent Boston Marathon bombing reinforced the notion that I shouldn't wait for the circumstances of my coming out to be perfect. Things can change in an instant, so why not live truthfully?"

Tulsi Gabbard speaks to Hawaii's responsibility to help the Phillipines
After Typhoon Hayain swept the Phillipines, affecting 12 million people and causing catastrophic devastation, Tulsi Gabbard, US Representative for Hawaii, spoke up about Hawaii's responsibility to lend a helping hand. "Like so many people, I and my family have friends and loved ones affected by the devastation," said the Congresswoman, "In the wake of such horrible tragedy, the positive we can find is the outpouring of compassion, support, and aloha from my state towards the people of the Philippines."
Louis C.K. says put your phone down and feel your feelings!
In this Conan O'Brien interview, Louis C.K. makes us laugh hard, but think even harder. What begins as a conversation about why he won't buy phones for his kids quickly turns into a deeper look at how we rely on our phones to fulfill us emotionally, using them as a buffer from dealing with feelings, specifically sadness, anger....the tough stuf. He explains, "Sadness is poetic, when you let yourself feel sad, your body has antibodies of happiness that come in and meet the sadness, but because we don't want that first bit of sad, we push it away with the phone......and you never feel completely sad or happy, you just feel kind of satisfied with your product." Thanks, Louis, for reminding us to turn off our phones and tune into ourselves!

Wondering what life downtown is really like? Well, it ain't the Palisades, but it does have its charms.
But one of the problems for outsiders is that things can seem a bit hidden—if you don't know exactly where you are headed, you're likely to wind up at Skid Row rather than that chic little art gallery you were searching for. Which is probably one of the reasons that the area is hosting an open house the weekend of June 6-8.
Hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and loft will all be open for self-guided public tours, with lots of specials and special events. Check out the website for all the details, and for free registration. In addition to printing out a map of all the places you want to hit, you can also get a pass for $6 parking for the entire weekend (The garage at 7th and Fig is also offering 3 free hours of parking, according to the site).
Angelenic.com also points out that the same weekend is the Dwell on Design Conference for those who love all things modern. It is also hosting an urban living open house of downtown places on Saturday and Sunday. Check out details at the website.

Finally getting new carpet and of course that means I need to buy new window treatments and a closet organizer. Can anyone with this system tell me how how much weight it can hold?
I mean I could probably put our suitcases on the floor or move them somewhere else, but would they be able to hold that much weight on the top shelf? |

Would like someone to answer who actually has the system. I'm afraid of biased answers from someone who works there. |
- Posted by westvillager (My Page) on Tue, Oct 26, 10 at 11:33
Hmm, I'd give them a call too. Perhaps someone has used the exact system you're looking at, but anything mounted to the wall will hold a substantial amount of weight for closet-related items. If it's freeform and wouldn't support your suitcases, I'd be terrified of hanging a row of shirts and hangers! |
From their site linked below: How is the closet shelving mounted? Pine - Our John Louis Home systems are "off the floor" mounting systems. We utilize three universal bracket types that are secured onto the walls. The shelves are then locked into the brackets. Since the shelving covers the majority of the brackets, minimal hardware is in view. Because the closet system is raised, floor space is open and clear of any obstructions. Hardwood - Our hardwood systems can either be "off the floor" or rest on the floor, depending on your desire or need. There is no metal hardware with these systems. All of the supports are made of Ash Shelving connects directly to other shelving, creating an "all wood" look. I think the shelf would hold it just fine, ie would not break of buckle. It is the 'proper' installations of the brackets by you or an installer that holds the shelf, that would be of greater concern to me. Properly anchored into studs should surely hold the weight of suitcases and more. |

I agree with contacting the company just in case :) |

Online gaming like xbox live can be played in house. You may input games of what you want to play. Just like online games you may search if what game you want to play. Mostly, men are used to play Xbox Live. There are also women who were playing it. Every time they play this kind of game, you can see that they are enjoying and you can feel like you are the character itself who is being played. It can be compared with playing Shoot the Zombies. The zombies are moving along and the player needs to kill it all. Some other games that can be played in xbox live are basketball. Almost like an actual play of basketball.
Xbox live is often most use as past time in most of houses. It can be played to overcome boredom. Playing xbox live is so fun. I'll try to buy xbox and play xbox live in our house. We can now play counter strike. Every time we are playing, we are so noisy especially when I'm playing with my brothers. Then I also invited my friends to play Xbox Live in our house for them to also experience playing it and to have fun. They said Xbox Live is amazing and the control is not hard to use. Playing xbox is our family bonding. We are enjoying at the same time our family relationship tightens.
This Christmas, I want to give this xbox as a gift for my brother. He also wants to have xbox so that he can also play xbox live. He will now be able to play in his room different games like basketball, football and other sporty games that he used to play.
In playing xbox live, you can see that the screen resolution is very clear. Playing with xbos is also not painful in the eyes.
Before when we are going in malls, we often look for the latest gadgets on the market. . Just like xbox where we really planned buying. Now, when we are at mall I still look for latest gadgets but this time, I am looking for the latest update or upgrade of xbox. I want to try it too and at the same time experience the latest version of xbox in playing in xbox live. I will definitely recommend this to my friends and relatives for them to try too.
