The materials to make burlap door hangings are
inexpensive. Your main investment will be your time.
A friend of mine showed me a burlap hanging and
asked me if I knew how to make them. I had never seen
them before but they didn't look very complicated.
I also looked up some examples on Pinterest.
It seemed to be a shape cut out of burlap that was
then painted, stuffed, and topped with a wire for hanging.
My friend was willing to be my burlap door
hanging "guinea pig". She asked for a
hanging in the shape of a cross in the colors
of brown, cranberry and green.
Here is my first attempt:
If you would like to make a burlap hanging, here are the steps:
First, make yourself a pattern.
Since I hoped this shape would be symmetrical, I sketched one side of a cross shape...
...folded the paper over in what would be the center line of the cross...
...traced the first side onto what would be the corresponding side and cut the cross out.
Pin your paper pattern onto folded burlap.
In this way, you will be cutting two shapes at once.
Cut around the pattern's shape.
Remove the pins.
You will now have two burlap shapes.
One will be the front and the other will be the back.
Join the front and the back together either by sewing
them together or hot gluing them together.
These are going to have a unfinished edge
to them that you can trim up after the painting step.
These hangings do not get turned inside out;
their shabbiness is part of their charm.
Be sure to leave an opening (or two) about 3" long
to add the stuffing if you want it to be dimensional.
I have seen other burlap hangings since
my first burlap hanging encounter that
are not stuffed but more like a flat stiff surface
to paint on. I haven't made one of those
non-stuffed hangings but they look even easier.
Although you could, of course, make these to be used
inside your home, the one I saw was
made to be used on an exterior door. If you are
going to make one of these to be outside,
Your stuffing needs to be weather resistant.
I used plastic bags but you could also use polyester fiber fill.
After stuffing your burlap shape, paint it
however you want to. It's your canvas and
you are the artist. I used these craft paints:
Even though I used brown burlap for the cross
I still needed to give the whole shape a good coat or two
of the brown paint. I think that the paint is what gives
the burlap hanging it's stiffness and uniqueness.
Before the paint is added, you can see through the burlap and the stuffing is showing.
After two coats of acrylic brown paint, the cross is stiffer. The paint also
fills in the spaces in the burlap's weave so that you don't see the stuffing.
Add more painted details on top of the base coats.
I don't know why I did not go on and close up the
gap left for adding the stuffing before painting the
burlap but here is the photographic evidence.
Especially if you are sewing your edges together (dry paint can be tough on sewing machine needles),
close up the stuffing gap before you start painting.
Add a wire loop for hanging.
I like this aluminum wire from Michael's
(it's easy to bend and cut but sturdy)
but you can use whatever you want.
Just poke the wire through the painted burlap. Leave enough on the end for coming
back around to join it to the loop (and for adding a curly-Q if you like those).
My friend seemed to like the finished
product (even if it didn't turn out quite symmetrical).
When I heard that my church was having a craft
sale to raise money for missions, I had visions
of making lots of burlap door hangings for the sale.
I dreamed of me making more crosses, Easter-themed
hangings, St. Patrick Day hangings. Yes, I might
make enough to use up all my plastic bags.
Guess how many got made.
One. I gave a monetary donation to make up for my
guilt of lack of crafty items to contribute.
I used the same method of making a pattern
and cutting out the burlap.
I made this one using the hot glue method of
joining the two sides together. Keep in mind that
the glue will come through the burlap's weave
a little bit so keep your fingers out of harm's way.
Be sure to leave an opening for stuffing.
After stuffing, just hot glue it closed.
The hot glue method of joining leaves a little
bit of a flat edge around the shape.
I painted the shamrock with various green colors
and added the wire for hanging. This time I left
more wire on the ends for bigger curly-Qs
If you type "burlap door" in the search box on the
Pinterest website, you can see lots of examples of
different events and holidays they can be made for.

CNP Centers Activities
CNP Centers perform three key activities: Outreach, Research and Training.
How do CNP Centers engage in Outreach?
- Indentify the community's needs and resources
- Develop (in partnership with the communities involved) appropriately-tailored and culturally-sensitive educational materials/activities
- Enhance the development and delivery of health promotion and educational activities
- Revise procedures to assess the impact of the outreach activities
- Implement plans to improve health literacy and patient-provider communication
- Produce an outline of strategies to monitor the impact of any educational materials and efforts on the targeted communities
These outreach activities are conducted mainly by trained Community Health Educators (CHEs), who have experience in communications, comprehensive cancer control, training, program planning, and evaluation.
What kind of research do CNP Centers undertake?
CNP Centers perform two research projects, both of which employ Community-Based Participatory Research as their methodology.
- A Full Research Project, based on a needs assessment or pilot study, to increase the use of biomedical or behavioral procedures to reduce cancer load.
- A Pilot Educational Research Project, where a new/early stage investigator is mentored by a more established researcher. This project focuses on promoting the role of racial/ethnic and/or underserved population in researchparticularly related to clinical trials and bio-banking.
What about training?
CNP Centers engage in training primarily through the pilot educational project. All CNP Centers also commit to mentoring postdoctoral, new, and early-stage investigators. This mentorship helps build a critical mass of scientists focused on health disparities research who have both in-depth scientific expertise and skills in CBPR.

What a beautiful garden spot! I am trying to create something similar in feel in the far back end of my yard. Now I will be able to refer to your picture to keep me motivated. I have been hauling rocks all winter from the beaches around here and dumping them at the end of the driveway. Now I am hauling them 2 or 3 at a time by wheelbarrow to the back end hoping and praying the barrow doesn't sink in the soft soil and tip. Very stunning garden picture, thank you for sharing! |

Thanks everyone. min - an old house trailer sat there when I first moved in my house. It was a wreck and I had it hauled out, which left a depression. Over the years, I dug it out (by hand) more and more until I got the look I wanted. It's very small and still a work in progress; but it's getting there. freezengirl - my days of hauling rocks are nearly over, but my eyes still light up whenever I see a pile of great stones! Instead of a wheelbarrow, you might try one of those hand trucks I think they call them. They have two wheels and stand upright - people use them to move furniture,ect. You'd be amazed at how much weight they can move around. Unless the tires go flat like mine does. :) |

Listen: As we reach the halfway mark in our Meet The Need campaign, Day 25 of 50 (can you believe time travels so fast!), we meet St. Rose Youth and Family Center, an organization serving troubled girls and young women through residential and therapeutic day education programs, as well as a unique on-site school for troubled girls. This is a particularly vulnerable population, which is aptly illustrated by young women that age out of the foster care system. When a young woman reaches the age of 18, she is on her own. If she is not prepared to be self-sufficient, where can she turn?
This leads directly to a moment in our interview where Executive Director Jim Maro introduced me to a completely new angle on basic needs (which is difficult, when you spend 50 days in a row thinking about basic needs all day every day); the idea of sustaining relationships as a basic need. Jim does a great job of developing this idea below, but try something for a moment -- imagine your life without any of the steady and positive relationships you've had. You can take it a step further and replace those with temporary and potentially abusive relationships, but for me, it's already apparent that my life would be in a completely different state without the support network I've had throughout my life.
Jim Maro, President and Executive Director of St. Rose Youth and Family Center, brings us inside the St. Rose Youth and Family Center:
-How St. Rose formed their mission and how it's evolved in their 161 years:
-The idea of nurturing and sustaining relationships as a basic need:
-During our interview, this quote: "Many times, the community views 'kids in trouble' as 'troubled kids'" really caught my attention. Jim explains:
-A young woman who started with a set of seemingly insurmountable circumstances:

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have seen the results of this organization over and over as women come into the center confused and frightened. "I can't," becomes "I did!" As they go through the programs and get their certificates, empowering them to move on.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
I love seeing the growth in the women as they go through the various programs that are offered. I am humbled by these impressive women as they pull their lives together. I gain more than I give!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
The staff is competent, caring, and understanding of the needs while providing the discipline needed.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
It could change the way we view the criminal justice. It would prevent crime and empower those who live in circumstances that foster criminal activity to be leaders for community justice.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every week

Pssst. Officers. I have to let you in on a strange secret about tonight's episode. Ready? It was actually really good. Even though episodes this fractured tend to flail, "Seminar" had a lot going for it -- like, oh, the surprise Ricky Gervais cameo. Is jlp a word?
The episode opened with an unexplained cameo from David Brent himself, and he and Michael hit it off like gangbusters, doing their respective "characters." "Comedy is a place where the mind goes to tickle itself. That's what she said," David said, and then Michael pulled him in for an embrace as only soulmates can. I don't want Gervais to be a regular on the American Office, and I don't think more of Michael and David would be good for the show really, but: This little scene was just pure, perfect joy.
The night's main storyline was about Andy trying to boost his weak sales numbers with a pitch meeting disguised as a business seminar. When his initial lineup of Jim, Dwight, and Phyllis all bailed, the Nard Dog went to his bench and wound up begging Kevin, Ryan (who said yes and then flaked), and Creed to step in. Ultimately, it was Kelly who gave the only legit guidance, courtesy of a professor who has the hots for her. Again: Kelly should be branch manager when Michael leaves, no?
Elsewhere, Pam and Oscar helped Erin play Scrabble against Gabe, which she was aggressively terrible at. (It's how the lovebirds decided what movies to watch, of course. When Gabe wins, they watch horror. When Erin wins, well... Erin never wins.) Oscar, because he's such a smartypants, was great at the game, but even he went, yes, apoplectic when Erin bungled what would have been the winning word. I love the dynamic between Erin and Oscar, but the one weak point of this subplot was Pam's involvement: What was at stake for Pam in the game? She and Erin aren't exactly BFF, and she didn't seem to be in the competitive spirit, à la Oscar. Oh, well. Maybe I'm just in a bad moo-ed.
Speaking of bad mooeds, I really don't want to see Gabe turned into a jerk. Erin obviously doesn't like scary movies, but he makes her watch them. He thinks she's having a Slumdog Millionaire moment when she briefly kicks ass in Scrabble. And he doesn't like Wall-E. What is he, made of stone? I want to be able to root for Gabe in some capacity, but watching him be such a douchelord in this episode made me feel really sad for Erin, and even sadder for poor Andy.
Michael and Holly had their very own subplot this week: Michael was practicing his Greek (well, "Greek") character Mykonos to be a "plant" at Andy's seminar, and he enlisted a reluctant Holly to help flesh out his backstory. My beef from last week remains: Just get to it already, Office. Together or apart! This limbo is just no fun.
Finally, in the episode's strangest and least fun story line, Jim bailed on Andy's ceremony at the very last second because he wanted to avoid a childhood acquaintance who was there. Jim didn't want to interact with him because back in the third grade, the gaff-prone Halpert had insulted his classmate, and there was still some bad blood between them. Really? That's the justification for Jim bailing? In the establishing shots about Andy's seminar, the poster features Jim's photo, and identifies him by name. Are we supposed to think this guy came there just to stir stuff up? That seems like a bit much, but if he just didn't notice, then would he really have recognized him after all? #overthinkingthings!
NEXT: The best Creed-ism ever?

If so, this is the perfect place to start.Ever since vol1 the Solaris books of New Sci-fi has been an excellent collection of short stories within the sci-fi genre. Not only the quality of the single stories themselves is top notch, but the order they are sorted in this book is also done with outmost care for detail, and ensures a totally different and exciting new story every time you finish the former.These books are NOT only to diehard sci-fi fans (as some novels in this genre), instead you are served with a wide variety of short, fun, strange, creative and wonderful small gems of stories created by the very finest sf-writers of today.Quality releases like these deserve to be distributed to a wide audience!

As a web developer, one of the most interesting things that I get to do is see how people use GlobalGiving. We have a big screen display that gives us updates on daily donation totals and recent donations, and during peak traffic spikes, I'll log onto the servers and watch what's going on in real time. Like most web sites, we also collect aggregate statistics about our users so that we can improve our site. The other day I was curious to see which browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) our visitors are using and what it means for our design and testing plans. The results were surprising!
First, I took a look at which browsers our visitors use. Like most web sites, Internet Explorer is the most popular browser. GlobalGiving has a slightly larger Firefox user base than the general Internet, but it's only a few percentage points higher. Safari comes trailing in around 5%. That's all in line with general internet browser share statistics.
Then I took a look at dollars per visitor broken down by browser type. For people not involved in e-commerce, dollars per visitor is calculated by taking the total amount of money raised on your site and dividing it by the total number of unique visitors to your site. This gives you a rough idea of how much each person is likely to give/spend on your site. I expected that the dollars per visitor would be similar for each browser. After all, the desire to change the world isn't related to your choice in technology… or is it?
As you can see, although the Safari users only account for a small percentage of our total visitors, they give a lot more. A Safari 3.0.4 user will give $3.42 while the normal IE 7.0 user will only give $0.74!!! (NOTE: We don't yet have enough data on Safari 3.1 to include it in this chart.)
Since Apple recently released Safari for Windows, I thought I'd do a similar break down by operating system. Sure enough, the average Mac OS X user will give $2.53 while a Windows XP user will only give $0.97 and a Windows Vista user will give $0.58!
Why the big difference? Perhaps Mac users have more disposable income and are able to give more to charity. But if that were the case, I'd expect the Windows Vista users to be giving more than the XP users, since Vista requires an up-to-date computer to run well. Perhaps Mac users tend to be more internet savvy and are more comfortable with giving online, but I'd also expect anyone using Linux to be comfortable with the internet, yet they have one of the lowest rates that we've tracked.
It's hard to say what it is about Mac users that causes them to give more. Perhaps they just think different.

Tinley Park ponders incentive plan for Rizza auto dealership
BY STEVE METSCH firstname.lastname@example.com February 24, 2013 11:52PM
Updated: March 26, 2013 9:35AM
Tinley Park officials are considering a tax break for Rizza Cadillac and Rizza Buick GMC, which hopes building a new facade would attract enough car-buying customers to justify hiring 10 employees, adding $450,000 to the payroll.
The plan calls for giving the dealership, 8425 W. 159th St., a 33 percent share of new sales tax revenue to help fund the improvements, village officials said. It's similar to plans that were hammered out with Apple Chevrolet and Orland Toyota Scion in 2011.
Increased sales are expected to result in at least $843,000 in sales tax revenue for the village over 10 years, village economic development director Ivan Baker told the village board's finance and economic development committee last week.
The improvements are not possible without the incentive, Trustee Dave Seaman said.
The committee approved the plan, which will go to the full board for approval.
The village also:
Approved a license agreement with Cavellini's to continue restaurant service at the Oak Park Avenue Metra station. The monthly rent will be $700, with the vendor sharing 2 percent of gross sales for the first $400,000 per year and 2.5 percent for sales beyond $400,000.
Agreed to hire a temporary accountant for $42 per hour for three days a week over three months to help in the finance department.
Agreed to pay no more than $12,500 for a new police dog to replace Thor, who is being retired in June.
Approved a tax break for a new Golden Corral restaurant at 6803 W. 159th St. Trustee Greg Hannon voted against the plan because it would "set a precedent for other national chains."
Hired Tom Kopanski as water superintendent to replace Tim Morris, who resigned. Kopanski's salary will be $83,160.

Meatless Monday: Pizza Salad with Fresh Herbs + Feta
A spin on a favorite weekend comfort food
Posted March 19th, 2012 by noelle | 2 Comments »
I've had fun over the last week playing around with the idea of a pizza salad. In this version, I use a combination of fresh greens tossed with olive oil, crunchy sea salt and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. You'll also find lots of fresh oregano and basil, sun-dried tomatoes and some big cubes of Feta cheese. I also added a handful of toasty quinoa and then poured everything over a crunchy brown rice tortilla crust. If you love pizza but don't want the calories, try this pizza salad.
Just stopping by? This month I'm celebrating 30 days of freshly pressed juices and whole foods to rejuvenate tired winter skin and lose a few pounds. It's not too late to join me. Get started here.

(* Buy organic, if possible. Learn more here.)
Better-for-you ingredients
Learn more about the better-for-you ingredients in this recipe:
- Kale – Kale is full of nutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that help your body to stay vibrant and youthful. Kale is also packed with chlorophyll. Chlorophyll removes heavy metals and chemical toxins from your body.
- Parsley – Cleansing divas adore parsley for parsley for its help with sluggish digestion. Parsley has also been embraced to help relieve stomach cramps and indigestion. Learn more.
- Rosemary – Health beauties believe fresh rosemary contains elements which are terrific for stimulating sluggish digestion (which is often disrupted after long plane travel as well as during a deep whole foods cleanse). Fresh rosemary is also great for increasing circulation (which helps boost your energy) and improves concentration.
Place dry quinoa in a skillet over medium heat. Let toast for 3-5 minutes until quinoa seeds start to pop and brown slightly. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and the fresh sage leaves. Toast until just crispy. Remove from pan to let them finish their crisp on a paper towel. Roughly chop leaves and set aside.
Place brown rice tortillas in your toaster until just golden. Break into a total of 8 pieces. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, massage kale and spinach leaves with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Make sure all leaves are coated well with oil (~1-2 minutes). Sprinkle in grated Pecorino or parmesan cheese and toss.
Fold in basil, parsley, rosemary and thyme with the kale and spinach leaves. Fold in cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, crispy sage leaves and toasted quinoa. Fold in feta. Serve with a few crispy brown rice chips. Enjoy!

This push-up bra guarantees a perfect lift and shape. It's stay-put grip lining along wings and side boning for excellent support while wearing strapless.
This is the BEST bra I have ever bought. I have one breast a cup larger than other and this bra has been able to accommodate that problem. I have bought more expensive bras with terrible results. They also give good wear for there money. I bought a white, tan and black one 2 years ago. I am replacing the white and tan as they are curving a little at the top. I wear them often. The black is still in good condition. I wash them in the washing machine but never put in dryer.

For me, it's the best strapless bra that exists, I can wear it different ways and it's very comfortable. I would like for it to come in more colors & different prints.

To avoid altered measurements wear a fitted panty.
You have two options to choose the size of your panty
Was our size chart useful?
If you would rather wear nothing to avoid panty lines, but want to wear something - this undetectable thong panty is perfect for you. Its laser-cut fabric seamlessly transitions to your skin without detection, and its DuraFit™ fabric feels light and soft. It is like wearing nothing, but with the comfort of wearing something!
I used to dislike thongs, but the second I put this on I was in love. I went to the gym with it, and forgot I was even wearing it. Also, it looks great on my butt and my boyfriend loves it.
This panty is hot!Its so pretty and I feel so sexy wearing it!

I love this boyshort, it's very comfortable and it adheres to the body.

This is HIGH quality. Love that it sits below belly button. Covers everything on backside. Took off 1 star because size chart is off. You need to go down at least 1 size. I have now 2 with 1st short too big. Bought panty from well known Intimate store that was more expensive. This is priced well for the great quality. Don't hesitate to buy!!!

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

BERLIN (Dow Jones)--Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat party is
considering a proposal to allow countries to exit the euro zone
voluntarily, according to the German business daily Handelsblatt.
Such a proposal, already controversial within the party's own ranks, will
be discussed during the party convention next week, Handelsblatt reports.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is against the proposal, the
newspaper reports in its Thursday issue.
Neither the common currency nor the broader European Union confederation
has an option to exit. The proposal, which is only at party rather than
parliamentary level, would allow countries that can't or won't comply with
fiscal rules to exit the common currency on a voluntary basis, according
to Handelsblatt.
The proposal is omly for discussion at the party convention next week.
The proposal does not have Merkel's endorsement, nor is it a government

This comes from Handelsblatt, the German language business newspaper.
An article appearing in tomorrow's edition apparently claims that:
A commission within the party, that is crafting a framework to be
presented at a party meeting, has proposed allowing a euro member
who doesn't want to or isn't able to comply with the common currency
rules to leave the euro region without losing membership in the EU.
2) An 'exclusive report' on Reuters that France and Germany are
exploring the idea of a core eurozone. (Presumably with the more
rotten members of the currency union excluded).
It continues:
France and Germany have had intense consultations on this issue over
the last months, at all levels," a senior EU official in Brussels
told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the
sensitivity of the discussions.
"We need to move very cautiously, but the truth is that we need to
establish exactly the list of those who don't want to be part of the
club and those who simply cannot be part.
Frankly I'm not sure what to make of either of these, except that they
both chime with the theory expressed earlier that France and Germany
have renounced the belief that the eurozone must remain intact.

Sunday, 29 June 2008
Today I use the banner not only for Mrs Carr but for all those who suffer now and those who will suffer.
The Observer has two articles on mental health:
The Mental Health Units That Shame The NHS" which describes the terrible state of in-patient mental health care. "The incoming president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists has admitted .... that he would not use them himself - nor allow a member of his family to do so."
In a second article - an interview with the incoming president " - he ... launched a powerful attack on the state of Britain's acute psychiatric care system, saying many inpatient units are unsafe, overcrowded and uninhabitable, adding: 'I would not use them, and neither would I let any of my relatives do so."
The Observer also carries a very powerful editorial about mental health - Mental Health Must Be Taken From The Shadows". Although I do not agree with all the points raised I make no apology for including the entire editorial.
"In the 19th century England, mental health issues were governed by what was known as 'lunacy law'. Although Victorian parliamentary acts changed the status of those suffering from mental illness from prisoners to patients, they were still kept in brutal asylums.
Today, modern medicine has a sophisticated understanding of the broad spectrum of disorders that constitute mental illness, but politics seem scarcely to have moved on. Mental health treatment is in crisis. Acute psychiatric wards are 'not safe' and are 'uninhabitable', according to Dinesh Bhugra, the new president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, whose damning verdict is reported in today's Observer. Patients are neglected and often put at risk of violence and sexual assault. The problem, as it has been for decades, is a woeful lack of funding compounded by ministerial failure to address the needs of mental health patients.
Nine years ago, the government cited transforming treatment of mental illness along with heart disease and cancer as one of its top three priorities for the NHS. Since then, the only substantial change has been the Mental Health Act 2007, which strengthened the regime under which people can be forced to accept medication and be 'sectioned' - detained on wards against their will. Those wards were described earlier this year by the Mental Health Commission as having become 'tougher and scarier' places in the last decade. In other words, the most vulnerable and disorientated people are sent to a place likely to exacerbate depression and psychosis.
The 2007 act was motivated as much by the desire to assuage popular fear of the mythological marauding 'violent schizophrenic' as by the hope of getting better clinical outcomes. Without sufficient resources, what we have is a return to punitive confinement.
But only a relatively small proportion of those suffering from mental illness require in-patient treatment. One often-cited estimate says that one in four people will be affected at some point in their lives, a figure that is often met with scepticism because of the culture of shame around mental illness. The number sounds less inflated when the full range of conditions is taken into account: teenagers who starve themselves in pursuit of an unattainable body image; people out of work who self-medicate for chronic low self-esteem with drink and drugs; teenage mothers who run a higher than average risk of postnatal depression; work-related stress that leads to crippling panic attacks; young children self-harming. Problems on such a scale in any other area of healthcare would propel it to the forefront of political debate, as has happened, for example, with obesity.
The government would be pilloried if it simply gave up on improving cancer survival rates, but it has managed discreetly to drop its fervour for revolutionising mental health treatment. Mental illness does not attract the same lobbying zeal, the celebrity-led charity appeals and hospital picketing that force politicians to act on other NHS issues. It is a lonely epidemic.
There are, of course, health trusts that provide excellent out-patient care, therapy and community support. But people are often unaware that they are entitled to such things and GPs are reluctant to offer them because they know how scarce resources are.
This week, Health Minister Lord Darzi will publish his review into the future of the NHS. It will focus on giving patients more choice over where and how they are treated. If carried through, that, in theory at least, could force health trusts to start meeting the complex needs of people suffering from mental illness. But psychotherapy, community psychiatric nursing teams and acute wards will still have to compete for funding with expensive drugs for other illnesses. They will lose out as long as taboo, denial and ignorance define the way mental illness is discussed.
Nothing Labour has done in government suggests that will change. That is a betrayal of millions of lonely, vulnerable people. It is also a challenge to other parties to develop policies that will finally move us beyond the age of 'lunacy law'."
I disagree with the statement "Today, modern medicine has a sophisticated understanding of the broad spectrum of disorders that constitute mental illness, but politics seem scarcely to have moved on.".
I believe medicine is a million miles away from this position.
The comments left at the Observer website I found to be incredibly moving and enlightening. You can read them here.

Sounds like our mental health system here in Oz - sucked dry of funds, held together by the sweat of the over-worked under-paid staff and a band aid stuck on the problems instead of offering long-term solutions, creating revolving door patients who self-medicate with illegal drugs and alcohol.
ReplyDeleteShame and complexes are some factors that are acutely responsible for the mental disorder depression. It has been medically proved that any form of shame can go a long way in making a person a serious patient of depression. If you feel that you have some sort of inherent shame or complex and are falling prey to depression than you can xanax , a very effective antidepressant either online or offline.

About 3TIER
3TIER Begins Search for CEO
Kenneth Westrick to Remain Active Chairman of Board
SEATTLE, Wash.—3TIER®, a global leader in renewable energy information services, announced today that it is searching for a CEO to replace founder, Kenneth Westrick. Mr. Westrick will step away from day-to-day leadership of the company, but will remain as chairperson of 3TIER's board of directors and will continue pursuing high-level business development opportunities. Mr. Westrick was also recently elected to the board of directors of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) and intends to become more active in the development of strategies to drive global adoption of renewable energy.
"This transition reflects the continued maturation of the company, and there will be zero disruption to the level of service we provide to our clients," Westrick said. "The board of directors and 3TIER's staff remain highly committed to our long-term strategy. The investments we have made into our global renewable energy information services platform are paying off, and we don't anticipate any significant change in direction."
"Guided by Ken's vision and leadership, 3TIER has grown from a concept to a globally competitive company," said John Breckenridge, managing director at Good Energies, 3TIER's investment partner. "Ken founded the company 10 years ago, and like all start-up CEOs, he has worked tirelessly to build 3TIER into a successful company. He feels the time is right to transition to a new role that lets him focus on a few corporate opportunities that are closest to his heart, but spend a lot more time with his family, who live abroad."
Breckenridge said Westrick will continue to represent 3TIER at key industry gatherings and associations, including the delivery of a keynote address at the 91st American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting in January 2011.
Westrick will continue as CEO while 3TIER conducts an executive search. "Once a new CEO is selected, my number one priority will be to ensure a smooth transition so that he or she is successful," Westrick said. "We have built a great foundation, and I'm really looking forward to turning the reins over to a strong leader with fresh ideas who will propel the company through its next stage of growth."

E-mail a friend about hookah4sale.
Hookah - narghile sets as they are traditionally known in the Middle East are water pipes that are designed for smoking shisha. Although they are relatively new to the Western Hemisphere, smoking has a tradition going back for literally centuries and was popular in ancient India and later in the Persian Empire more than 1000 years ago. There are a wide range of hookahs and nargila pipes both for beginners or smoking connoisseurs. Popular styles include the classic one hose set with a long hose for relaxing smoking enjoyment but additional types also include 2 hose and 3 hose hookahs waterpipes in an endless range of styles complete with unique hoses. Many narghile pipes have extra long shisha hoses with colorful patterns or exotic mouthpiece handles that are excellent, especially when relaxing on pillows and cushions at a bar lounge. Often, hookahs will come with sturdy hard cover boxes that provide a durable case for those smokers that enjoying traveling or even backpacking with their shisha pipes to exotic locations or just to have handy when they want to share a new shisha flavor with a friend that lives across town. Cases also provide a great way to keep your nargila safe when not in use and your waterpipe can be disassembled within a matter of minutes and placed inside the hard covered box for convenient storage. In short, hookahs come in a full range of styles - from classic oriental narghile shisha waterpipes with traditional hoses to ultra modern shisha pipes with washable rubber hoses and unique mouthpiece designs. If you are looking for hookahs for cheap you can find them in a various sizes that should be suitable for everyone, as well as specially low priced reduced clearance sale discount hookah pipes. For the pro's there are a wide variety of unique and attractive large hookah shisha waterpipes for connoisseurs with eye catching, exotic designs for shisha pipe lovers. Hookah Glossary with Shisha Smoking Tips - In general, narghile pipes are often shipped unassembled and must be put together correctly for the waterpipe to work correctly. The following is a breakdown of the basic parts of most hookahs and should be of practical assistance if you are putting together a hookah for the first time and will also offer more experienced shisha smokers some helpful tips that will make smoking a shisha pipe even more satisfying and enjoyable.
Bowl - The bowl on the top is usually made from heat resistant ceramic although it is sometimes traditionally made with natural clay and has small holes in top part for the smoke to enter the shisha bowl. The shisha should be broken apart slightly with tongs and should not be packed in too tightly. Sometimes the nargila coals are placed on a stainless steel screen that sits on top of the shisha bowl and some pipes have a wind covered bowl that can close down on the top to keep the charcoal safely locked inside against possible spillage and will also shield the charcoal from wind if you are smoking outdoors. Often, the burning coals are placed on a sheet of aluminum foil that is specially cut to wrap over the shisha in the bowl and will need to have air holes punched in the top, either with a special made tool or by hand using something sharp to poke holes in the foil. Bowl Grommet -The bowl sits on the top of the hookah on a rubber bowl grommet that is essential to providing an air tight seal for the shisha bowl so that air does not leak in from the sides. Ash Tray -The ash tray is directly underneath the bowl and may either be attached with a screw that holds it tightly in place from on top or may have a traditional design that simply rests on the top of the stem. Stem - stems come in a wide variety of styles, from lightweight metal stems with traditional designs to solid metal stems with intricate artwork engraved or etched on the metal. At the bottom of the stem, a down stem that sits inside the water is connected to the stem by screwing it into place. Hose -The hose is one of the most decorative parts of the water pipe and comes in an endless array of eye catching hookah hose designs. It is connected to the stem and is either made from leather or synthetic leather that may be wiped clean after use or may be made with plastic or soft rubber that can be thoroughly washed and dried when finished. The mouthpiece is on one end of the shisha hose and is either connected with an additional grommet or may be permanently attached to the hose. Hose Grommet -The hose grommet is made from washable rubber or soft plastic and connects the shisha to the stem in order to guarantee an airtight fit for your narghile pipe. Base Grommet -The base grommet connected to the bottom of the stem and is made from rubber or silicone and has ribbed sides to keep it snugly fit inside the base and connects the shisha hose to the stem in order to guarantee an airtight fit for your narghile pipe. Base Bottle -The base bottle or shisha vase is usually made from glass and may be either transparent to see the water bubble or may be frosted on the outside for a more opaque finish. Water - Ususally waterpipes are filled about a fourth of the way with water with more liquid causing the pipe to draw smoke harder and with less making the hookahs easier to draw smoke. The end of the downstem must be completely submerged underneath the water for the waterpipe to "bubble" nicely. Try different water levels in your shisha pipe to find the amount that is most comfortable for you. In addition to water, a connoisseurs may often fill the vase with other types of liquids, from fruit juice to licorice flavored alcohol for the adult smokers and it is definitely something that can be experimented with although the classic shisha pipe is usually filled with clean water to properly enjoy the tasty shisha flavors. One Way Valve with Steel Bearing -This feature is not as common on traditional narghile pipes from Egypt but is nearly always included on modern shisha pipes. The air valve provides a means to regulate the air flow through the hose and can be loosened to increase the air flow to the hookah making it easier to draw smoke or tightened to make the hose pressure go up making the pipe draw smoke harder.

HPET) for audio/video synchronization to work around the 100 Hz limit of
the system timer on old Linux kernels.

There is so much wrong with this company and its operations by its owners Rainbow Ironshell and Anthony Hong that its difficult to find a starting place. Completely missrepresents itself and there affiliations. Does not pay there sales staff what is owed them. No book keeping or records provided to the sub contractor's to justify income verses pay outs so no way for a sales rep to now exactly how much Arcm inc / Anthony Hong / & Rainbow Ironshell are holding back of the 50/50 split of profit offered its sub contract sales staff. Arcm inc has zero business being in business. Here is a link to the Tom Martino (troubleshooter) radio broadcast dated 10/17/2013 were One of the owners, Anthony Hong of Arcm inc is confronted about his company misrepresentation. Just a pathetic company and people running it. If the link below is not clickable, please copy and paste it were you can access the recording. well worth it! http://www.khow.com/media/podcast-troubleshooter-unleashed-fullshow_martino/101713-10am-strange-addictions-23854146/ |
