The minds behind Doms Fitness want to get one thing straight: this is not a gym. Rather, the expansive indoor facility is home to a group-fitness and personal-training studio. Here, instructors lead pupils through non-intimidating sessions, where a small class size allows them to focus on form and technique. Weight benches, plyo machines and boxes, jump ropes, tires, kettlebells, and stability balls fuel the workouts, designed to cater to each client's individual needs and goals. On occasion, weight-loss and health challenges take clients outdoors where they take in the fresh air and push their bodies to new limits. And once the workout is over, the talented trainers turn their sights toward nutrition, counseling on dietary choices and introducing students to the principles of intuitive eating.
Cosmetic care that stops at the surface is only fighting half the battle. This is the philosophy of the staff at Eternal Wellness MedSpa & Salon, and its various aestheticians and technicians aim to rejuvenate and revitalize clients' spirits with their beauty services. To do so, they incorporate traditional spa techniques, such as Swedish and deep-tissue massage, with medical-grade products and technology. A cosmetic laser system and Vibraderm exfoliating machine fit right in with the center's arsenal of aesthetic equipment, which also includes infrared light skin-tightening devices. Colon hydrotherapy machines and 21-day cleanses help clients shed weight and toxins. Even something as straightforward as a new hairstyle or freshly polished set of nails can revitalize spirits and give clients the confidence they need to finally assemble their home's particle accelerator.
Manned by master artist Jana G. Gambrell, Palmetto Paint & Pour outfits its guests with all the necessary tools to channel their creativity into original paintings. Jana hosts BYOB paint parties for any occasion at the client's chosen locale, steering her pupils through easy-to-follow brush strokes that result in an acrylic opus. Jana welcomes patrons of all ages and artistic backgrounds, from complete beginners to professional American Gothic reenactors.
Solarice Wellness Spas rejuvenate exhausted extremities with the essential mani-pedi treatment. As you relax in the cozy sanctuary, Solarice's skilled keratin-croppers will shape your nails and give your cuticles a compassionate caring for previously only afforded to fallen baby birds. With their tips shiny and polished, clients' glove-fillers and boot-occupiers will leave the spa feeling clean and refreshed, boasting a healthy sheen that rings of tension relief and increased circulation. The essential manicure and pedicure lasts approximately 75 minutes. You can also apply the value of your Groupon toward add-ons or upgrades; just pay the remainder of the cost during your visit.
Discover World Cuisine promotes local agriculture through a series of community programs that highlight locally sourced ingredients as well as the restaurants and cafeteria food fights that use them. The consortium of chefs, sommeliers, and foodies hosts cooking classes and dinners throughout the summer months that spotlight dishes from Europe, South America, and the Caribbean. Organic food and wine festivals also feature international nibbles as well as live music and giveaways.
Proceeds from the events support Discover World Cuisine's community outreach program, which partners with area schools to introduce kids to new foods and help them develop healthy eating habits. Classroom sessions balance hands-on instruction with activity sheets to teach students to select and prepare low-cost, nutritious meals.
Neither gym nor spa, The Balance Institute cobbles together something wholly unique, blending the best of both to alleviate pain and prevent future maladies. The buzzing, anonymous atmosphere of a gym gives way to friendly, personalized attention. Trainers and massage therapists join forces, working with clients one on one to unravel the underlying cause of pain and reverse years of unhealthy habits, such as poor eating or only ever using your right arm. Personal training begins with a health assessment and veers into moves and stretches designed to strengthen bodies and assuage pain. In private rooms, massage therapists quiet the cries of sore muscles with Swedish strokes, deep-tissue work, or myofascial release therapy.

painting my cabinets dark... the process!
posted by: girlwithaspirin on 10.06.2008 at 11:45 pm in Kitchens Forum Hey kids. Long time, no type. :) I hope all's well with all my old pals here.
In the last few weeks, I've gotten at least 15 emails asking how I painted my cabinets. Such a nice surprise, considering how long it's been since I posted! I wish I could remember who I initially gleaned all this info from. You guys were an immense help, so now I'm just paying it forward. Supplies:
-Remove doors.
If you have oak, keep in mind, you will see grain through the paint. If you'd rather not, you'll have to use some kind of putty to fill the grain, then prime, then paint. I just didn't have the energy for it, and it turns out, I love the look -- people mistake it for a handrubbed stain all the time. I'm so happy with how the cabinets have stood up over time. Not a single chip or scratch! To be honest, I cut so many corners in the prep (by choosing not to prime), I thought for sure I'd be dealing with the aftermath now. I credit the paint and patience for 100% of the success. Seriously, this paint is the real deal. Here is a link that might be useful: girlwithaspirin kitchen... before & after NOTES: <none>

RE: I got to oil my soapstone today! (Follow-Up #30)
posted by: jaymielo on 08.21.2008 at 06:14 pm in Kitchens Forum staticfritz, That is a very pretty color of green on your walls, and I love your faucet.
The green color in the tile is glaze MJD200 (such a fancy name!) The backsplash tile will match, except it will be primarily 3"x6" subways, will have a brown pencil liner and some 3"x3" coordinating art tile scattered in. Here is a pic I shot right after I got the tile, with and without the flash. It looks much better on the fireplace, but it should give you an idea of the different tiles I purchased. NOTES: <none>

I got to oil my soapstone today!
posted by: jaymielo on 08.19.2008 at 11:12 pm in Kitchens Forum Our soapstone installation is finally complete. We aren't quite finished with the kitchen yet, but I wanted to share some pictures. I'm really happy with how it turned out and can't wait to cook my first meal on it. It is GM Original.
Here is the stone to the right of the range, before and after oiling. The stone to the left of the range, before and after oiling. And here is our island. We need to have them come back to do the holes for the faucet, air switch and soap dispenser, but other than that, we are done with tops! For a sneak preview of the backsplash... the fireplace surround in the living room was completed. This is the same tile (with some extra decos) which will be used for the backsplash. AND, our BlueStar was partially unwrapped so I finally got to sneak a peak at it also. I think we are almost there! NOTES: <none>

RE: soapstone counter edge (Follow-Up #9)
posted by: babka on 02.24.2008 at 10:07 pm in Kitchens Forum It is my personal preference. All of the "older" countertops I've seen in homes have developed a crack along the plane where the countertop meets the wall due to house settling and/or earthquakes. I think it finishes off the countertop the same way baseboards do along a floor/wall. I like the way it looks.
In this closeup you can see that the wall was not perfectly flat. That is not apparent when you look at it while standing in front of the cooktop. NOTES: <none>

RE: Cool $ saving idea for a carerra marble subway tile backsplas (Follow-Up #15)
posted by: deee on 02.17.2008 at 04:55 pm in Kitchens Forum Here's a link to the place where I found the tile. I used the Florence shop, but you'll probably get better service in Columbia. Remember when you call that you will be dealing with South Carolina folks. Patience is a virtue and a neccesity around here!
I believe the back of the tile board said it was from the Georgia Marble Company. The box says "elegant statuary marble", "Sylacauga quarry" (which is in Alabama). Hubby has been "helping" me organize my files and right now I can't locate the receipt. I'll keep looking. The tile is definitely paler than the Walker Zanger carrara. I picked up the tile at the warehouse and opened the boxes in the bright sunshine to check them out. I almost died because they all looked white. When I questioned the tile lady I heard the "marble is a natural stone, blah, blah, blah" disclaimer. Thankfully, in the indoor light next my honed charcoal counters the veins popped.

97ish%: soapstone, white cabs, green subways
posted by: hoffman on 12.16.2007 at 12:52 am in Kitchens Forum I still have an annoyingly long and slow-moving punchlist that I am beyond impatient to finish, but it's finally close enough to at least post photos. I have been mostly lurking and occasionally posting here for a year while planning this renovation -- and living through 5 months of construction -- so many, many thanks to all of you! There's no way this kitchen would have turned out as well without this incredible resource. It has many classic Garden Web features (a tapmaster + Never MT, of course!) and, most importantly, soapstone counters which I never would have found without you all.
(All the yellow notes are punchlist items...) (There will eventually -- supposedly on Monday -- be a table between the banquettes...) Thanks again! NOTES: <none>

Updated: January 22, 2013 11:15PM
MUNCIE (AP) — Ball State University has pulled its sponsorship of seven Indiana charter schools including two Gary schools plagued by long-running academic woes.
The seven schools, which includes Charter School of the Dunes and LEAD College Preparatory Charter School in Gary, were subjected to an "extensive review" of their performance — including academics, finances and compliance — by Ball State, which denied their requests for charter contract renewals.
Two other schools -- Indiana West Gary Lighthouse Charter School in Gary and Hoosier Academy-Muncie in Muncie -- withdrew their requests for contract renewals and also will likely close their doors after their university-approved charters end June 30, said Bob Marra, executive director of the university's Office of Charter School.
He said the 3,900 students who attend those schools can transfer next school year to other charter schools, or go to public or private schools.
"None of these schools should be surprised," Marra said in a statement, adding that the schools had shown insufficient academic progress. "It is our responsibility to not renew the school, which usually leads to closure.
"While I understand it may cause some short-term difficulty for families, it is a decision made in the long-term best interests of their students," he said.
The Charter School of the Dunes thought differently.
"I am completely shocked," said Danielle Sleight, president of Charter School of Dunes School Board, "We are appealing the decision to Ball State."
Sleight said the appeal would be heard by a three- person committee within 20 days of the appeal filing. After that, she said a decision would be made in 20 days.
Sleight said the school's academic performance posted double digit gains last year.
Ball State reviewed the performance of 20 of the 42 charter schools it sponsors in Indiana. The 11 other schools received either 3-year or 5-year contract renewals. The university had previously pulled its sponsorship of only one charter school, Urban Brightest in Fort Wayne, in 2004.
Charter schools are alternative public schools that have had more freedom in setting curriculum, but state law was changed last year to hold charters to the same academic standards as public schools.
State lawmakers authorized Ball State a decade ago to sponsor charter schools in Indiana and Marra said the university approved the first one in 2002. Last year, lawmakers approved allowing a second office, the Indiana Charter School Board, to authorize charter schools in the state.
The Indianapolis Star reported last month that a charter school sponsor trade group, the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, said in a recent report that Ball State had not done an adequate job of overseeing the charter schools it sponsors.
Marra said his office's most recent review has opened a new phase of its scrutiny of its Indiana charter schools. He said the university would review the 22 other charter schools it sponsors when their contracts come up for review.
The seven schools denied contract renewals are: Imagine MASTer Academy, Timothy L. Johnson Academy and Imagine Schools on Broadway, all in Fort Wayne; Charter School of the Dunes and LEAD College Preparatory Charter School in Gary; Imagine Indiana Life Sciences Academy-East in Indianapolis; and Kenneth A. Christmon STEMM Leadership Academy in Richmond.

Yep, here we go again! No measurements! Argh, I need to stop doing that. Actually, there comes a great freedom when you are working in the kitchen and you are able to just throw ingredients together and create wonderful dishes. The only downside is that there is a possibility that they become the household favorite and now you don't have measurements in order to replicate the recipe. This is exactly what happened! I share these times with you again to only inspire you and to help you not be intimidated but just being creative. So open that fridge and clean it out! You just might surprise yourself in what you are able to create. These crackers were abundant with flavor and wonderful veggies!
How do you get yours so neat on the trays? mine always come out uneven and dry with holes in them! any suggestions?
Thanks, Amie-Sue, the hunt is on for an offset spatula. I'll give it another go and with time and practice, maybe my crackers will look at beautiful as yours! You have a real flair for presentation, I love to see the photos of your recipes.
I've been going through your website…it's awesome I might add…and have a question about storing nuts and crackers as you mention here and there in mason/ball air tight glassware. Can you use straight from store after rinsing or does it have to be boiled like my grandmother use to do before canning peaches?
Do you think you could use Chai seeds in place of Flax seeds? I love to give this a go but don't have any flax seed on hand just chai. Thank you!
Also, do you have any recipes that I can use with my left over plup that we get when we juice? Could I use it for the with this recipe? What do you think?

Bev it's very pretty. Well done. I really enjoyed seeing all the photos. The only change I'd like to see is a button to go back to your homepage from the other pages. When I got to the Cruise pictures there was nowhere else to click - being able to return to page one would have felt like I'd completed the tour. :) When you make changes instead of restarting your computer try refreshing - Press F5 on the keyboard as it often does the trick.

Bev I love what you have done! I am jealous! Sue, ~Urlee~ |
Great job Bev, looks Carol |

text: Separated by Sight is an installation of unique forms scattered throughout an interior space. Each form is a derivative of a photo-based image of something that existed and consists entirely of small piles of flour grouped together. The thousands of piles of flour contained within each of the forms vary in size and are based on the tonality of the original image. While other obscure forms create a state of doubt, the defined nature of certain forms provides a lucid moment of recognition that questions the relationship to the surrounding forms.

BOSTON -- Two explosions shattered the finish of the Boston Marathon on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry away the injured while stragglers in the 26.2-mile race were rerouted away from the smoking site.
Competitors and race volunteers were crying as they fled the chaos. Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners.
"There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding.
Neither race officials nor public officials could immediately estimate the number or degree of injuries.
About three hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another explosion could be heard a few seconds later.
Smoke rose from the blasts, fluttering through the national flags lining the route of the world's oldest and most prestigious marathon. TV helicopter footage showed blood staining the pavement in the popular shopping and tourist area known as the Back Bay.
"There are people who are really, really bloody," said Laura McLean, a runner from Toronto, who was in the medical tent being treated for dehydration when she was pulled out to make room for victims of the explosions. "They were pulling them into the medical tent."
Cherie Falgoust was waiting for her husband, who was running the race.
"I was expecting my husband any minute," she said. "I don't know what this building is ... it just blew. Just a big bomb, a loud boom, and then glass everywhere. Something hit my head. I don't know what it was. I just ducked." Runners who had not finished the race were diverted straight down Commonwealth Avenue and into a family meeting area, according to an emergency plan that had been in place.

I live in Northheast Ohio and have 2 Hellebores that I would like to move. They would be going from basically the same conditions in the new spot as they are now and should have plenty of time to settle in before cold weather starts.Was just wondering if spring would be better for them, because they were gifts and they are special to me. Any advice would be much appreciated.Thank you. |

Select a cool, overcast day and move them. Dig as much soil with roots, as you can safely manage, to avoid disturbing the roots. They hate that and will sulk, with foliage on the ground, for several days after the move. If the soil is rather dry, water them well the previous day, so the soil will cling together and to the roots. Be sure that the soil level of the transplanted rootball is slightly higher than the surrounding soil, to allow for settling. Water in well and allow the soil to dry for a day, then add mulch to keep the soil moist (not damp or soggy). They should settle in and bloom on time this winter (or spring)! I have moved dozens, of many species, without a failure. |
Thank you Ladywind, I will take care of them tomorrow Jack |

Inspections and Monitoring The General Pretreatment Regulations under the Clean Water Act establish the overall framework for implementing an approved pretreatment program. The Regulations outline the minimum requirements which a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) must perform to satisfy the obligation established in its own Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES/NPDES) permit administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Dallas Water Utilities is required by Section 403.8(f)(1)(v) of the Pretreatment Regulations to inspect and sample industrial users (IUs), and has the legal authority to: "Carry out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures necessary to determine, independent of information supplied by Industrial Users, compliance or noncompliance with applicable Pretreatment Standards and requirements. Representatives of the POTW shall be authorized to enter any premises of any Industrial User in which a discharge source or treatment system is located or in which records are required to be kept ... to assure compliance with Pretreatment Standards." The Pretreatment Program staff carry out these requirements and conduct facility inspections, surveillance, and monitoring of industrial wastewater sources discharging to the City's wastewater collection system and treatment plants. The monitoring and inspections are performed in order to independently verify compliance with all applicable pretreatment standards. Monitoring/sampling of industrial discharges is performed according to 40 CFR 136.3(e). Inspections are conducted at facilities that may have a potential to impact the wastewater collection system. The purpose and objective of the compliance monitoring program (including inspections and sampling) are to:
Inspection and Monitoring Frequencies The operations and activities that occur at the industrial user will determine the frequency and type of inspections conducted at the facility. For example:
Inspection and monitoring may also be a part of an investigation initiated subsequent to reports of suspicious activity, illegal dumping, or service interruptions. If you have any questions about any suspicious discharge to the sanitary sewer, please contact the DWU Pretreatment Program. |

I have some onions. I thought they were Egyption Onions. What is the differance in Egyption, Walking, and Maltiplying onions?
How do I use them? I've had them for many years and when I have used them for eating they seem tough. Should they be? Any responce Thank You gmom2-6boys |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ususally, the terms egyptian and walking onions are used interchangeably. These onions produce small to moderate sized bulbs at the base and small onions (topsets) instead of a flower at the top of the stalk. Multiplying onions only produce a bunch of small to moderate sized onions at the base of each plant and a normal allium looking flower stalk. I've only used them for pickling so I don't know how tough they'd be if used as regular onions but since they're smaller than regular onions, they might be a little tougher - like I find for some shallots. |

Lichborne: Dungeon and LFR group Etiquette for DPS death knights
Every week, WoW Insider brings you Lichborne for blood, frost, and unholy death knights. In the post-Cataclysm era, death knights are no longer the new kids on the block. Let's show the other classes how a hero class gets things done.
At this point in the game, max level 5-man dungeons may feel a bit superfluous. Even most newbies and third or fourth alts at this point are running them primarily for VP, having gotten most of their real item upgrades on Timeless Isle already. That said, this has lead to a bit of chaos. I know some of my tank friends are getting those end-of-expansion blues, in which they find that DPS are so over geared and so lazy that they are constantly stealing aggro, running ahead, and otherwise making the tank's job difficult.As a tank class ourselves, we have no excuse for doing this, if only as a courtesy for our brother and sister death knight tanks. This week, we're going to go over some basic dungeon etiquette for a death knight tank, designed to make your healer and tank not completely hate your guts. If you're not running dungeons now, you may want to keep it in mind for Warlords of Draenor.

Justin Bieber & No Doubt Perform at the TCAs [VIDEOS]
The "Teen Choice Awards 2012" was filled with surprises; from Selena Gomez's birthday cake, to Taylor Swift and the cast of "Vampire Diaries" taking home a ton of surfboards, there was never a dull moment. So it's safe to say the musical performances didn't miss a beat, literally. Check out the videos below to see the biggest names in music bring the house down.
No Doubt: The band debuted their single recently and joined together for their first live performance since 2009 to sing the inevitable hit, "Settle Down."
Justin Bieber: Justin channeled his inner Michael Jackson as he performed both singles "Boyfriend" and "As Long As You Love Me," which we're sure the birthday girl Selena enjoyed. He even brought Big Sean on stage to lay down his rap in the newest single.
Carly Rae Jepsen: The Canadian sensation closed out the show with a stellar performance of "Call Me Maybe." There wasn't a person in the audience that was sitting down as celebs and fans alike sang along to the summer anthem.
Flo Rida: The rapper performed his newest single "Whistle" and brought out singer Sia to join him in singing the dance club hit, "Wild Ones."

Brunet L et al. – The authors aimed to estimate the effect of marijuana smoking on liver disease progression in a Canadian prospective multicenter cohort of human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus (HIV/HCV) coinfected persons. In this prospective analysis they found no evidence for an association between marijuana smoking and significant liver fibrosis progression in HIV/HCV coinfection. A slight increase in the hazard of cirrhosis and ESLD with higher intensity of marijuana smoking was attenuated after lagging marijuana exposure, suggesting that reverse causation due to self–medication could explain previous results.
- Data were analyzed for 690 HCV polymerase chain reaction positive (PCR–positive) individuals without significant fibrosis or end–stage liver disease (ESLD) at baseline.
- Time–updated Cox Proportional Hazards models were used to assess the association between the average number of joints smoked/week and progression to significant liver fibrosis (APRI ≥ 1.5), cirrhosis (APRI ≥ 2) or ESLD.
- At baseline, 53% had smoked marijuana in the past 6 months, consuming a median of 7 joints/week (IQR, 1–21); 40% smoked daily.
- There was no evidence that marijuana smoking accelerates progression to significant liver fibrosis (APRI ≥ 1.5) or cirrhosis (APRI ≥ 2; hazard ratio [HR]: 1.02 [0.93–1.12] and 0.99 [0.88–1.12], respectively).
- Each 10 additional joints/week smoked slightly increased the risk of progression to a clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis and ESLD combined (HR, 1.13 [1.01–1.28]).
- However, when exposure was lagged to 6–12 months before the diagnosis, marijuana was no longer associated with clinical disease progression (HR, 1.10 [0.95–1.26]).

Laura Giaccaglia, coordinator for the Bolivar County Extension Service, said kids are able to learn through a non-formal environment and develop skills that will benefit them later in life.
The first workshop is a two-day manners workshop, called Manners 101, began today for children ages 8-12.
Thursday, the kids will travel to the Gallery Restaurant in Merigold to learn about table manners.
The extension service will also offer a Kids in the Kitchen workshop July 30-31 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily.
During the Kids in the Kitchen workshop, kids can learn about cooking and nutrition.
The registration fee is $5, and children ages 8-12 are eligible to participate.
In between that time, though, kids can sign up for the Origami workshop.
The Origami workshop will be on June 26 from 1-3 p.m., with special guest Dr. Lenagene Waldrup.
The Origami workshop provides older children an opportunity to get involved as the other workshops offered are for kids 12 and under.
For the $3 registration fee, kids ages 12 to 15 can learn to express themselves through the Japanese art of paper folding.
The Origami workshop is the only art workshop of the 4-H summer workshops that is offered.
Space is limited for the Kids in the Kitchen workshops, so those who want to sign up need to contact the Bolivar County Extension Serivce at 662-843-8362.
There is no limit on the amount of kids who can sign up for the Origami workshop, though.
"We do have to put a cap on because of space, and we want to provide a hands-on experience," said Giaccaglia.
Giaccaglia said it's not too late to sign up for the Kids in the Kitchen or Oragami workshops.
For more information, call Giaccaglia at the Bolivar County Extension Service number.

We have had this type of shrub ever since we bought house. I kept trimming them down to prevent blocking the windows too much.
How big would this shrub grow if I don't trim it? Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like Ternstroemia gymnanthera. This is not a low shrub. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 1, 11 at 11:51
get rid of them.. or move them out where they have enough space ... they are planted way too close to the foundation ... pick something and plant them.. so that they will allow at least 2 feet .. at maturity ... from contact with the house ... the cute babes were planted in the center of a bed... with no expectation of them actually growing into what they are ... they gotta be moved out of that place ... IMHO and most likely.. right under the window.. i would favor perennials.. rather than a shrub .... its hard to tell.. but it looks like there is only a foot or two.. between the soil level and the window bottom ... ken |
Thanks Bboy, yes, they look exactly like ternstroemia gymnanthera or ternstroemia gymnanthera cleyera as you stated, after I checked the images in google. However, this type shrub flowers and bears berries. I have had 5 shrubs but never seen them flowering or fruiting. I read some descriptions of ternstroemia gymnanthera cleyera; they are zone 7-10. Mine don't flower, perhaps due to its hardy tolerance??? I am not worried about them flower or not but just curious and want to find out what they are. |
Yours may not flower if you are having to keep pruning it - you could be pruning off the flower buds! |
- Posted by dave_in_nova VA zone 7a (My Page) on Wed, Oct 16, 13 at 12:52
Japanese Cleyera (Terstroemia gymnanthera) can grow quite tall and fairly quickly in the South. Guessing around 10 to 15 feet (or more?) depending on culture. Up here in Mid-Atlantic zone 7a they don't grow as quickly. Mine are blooming and bearing sort of pendulous fruit capsules. Interesting, but not really ornamental. You could keep the ones on either side of the window and relocate the ones that interfere. Or maybe just keep one on the corner. If you want year-round curb appeal for this side of the house, I'd not choose perrenials, unless they were evergreen. I'd go for something like a low pittosporum, ardisia, yaupon, carrisa holly, pachysandra, or something to that effect, depending on exposure. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 16, 13 at 19:06
look to last years pruning.. and then you know exactly how much it grew this year .. on an established plant.. that is its ANNUAL GROWTH RATE.. in your garden ... it will NEVER grow less... and basically will NEVER STOP GROWING.. shrubs dont hit some magic height .. and magically stop growing... remove them ... ken |

The Stigma of Sales
By: Jamie Scalise
Posted: April 28, 2010, from the May 2010 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 5
Myth. "I feel uncomfortable in the expert role."
Fact. A tough love approach to this would be to just get over it. A more toned down version is, if you don't become the expert, the client will find someone else to fill that role. So find a way to gain more confidence, perhaps through additional training, and grow into that expert.
Myth. "Clients come to me for services, not products. This is a feel-good industry; we're nurturers, not sales people.
Fact. Clients come to you for both services and products. Nurturing and selling are not mutually exclusive, so get used to doing both.
For another unique perspective, let's play devil's advocate and operate from the standpoint that somehow therapists who actively sell products and services are not client-focused. How does this approach affect the very clients that you are supposed to be serving?

YOGA-PAWS (new updated design)
What it is: High-tech fingerless gloves and toeless socks with yoga-mat material sewn on one side and a stretchy, breathable fabric on the other. The box says, "The yoga mat you wear." Comes in four sizes for men and women.
What You Might Not Know: Yoga-Paws have been around since 2003, but the new design includes absorbent material in the "gloves" (hand-mats? palm-paws?) to soak up sweatiness. Get this: The towel-like lining in the hand units absorbs seven times its weight in moisture, according to a Yoga-Paws press release. That sounds impressive even if I can't quite imagine just how much sweat that might amount to. I should test-drive these in Bikram Yoga.
Feelin' the Love: These mini-mats are really handy, and I liked how the mesh in the "gloves" and the Lycra-spandex in the "socks" felt snug against the backs of my hands and tops of my feet – so no distracting slippage there. I could see myself stuffing Yoga-Paws into my suitcase when flying off to fitness conferences (although I'd still want something like a towel between me, my Yoga-Paws and whatever lurks on hotel-room carpet. Ew.)
Eco alert: The yoga-mat material in Yoga-Paws scores bonus points for being free of chlorides, PVC or latex.
If I Could Change One Thing: I want to be able to toss Yoga-Paws in the washing machine. But they have to be hand-washed. That's a chore I reserve only for bras and bikinis.
Also, some poses feel better without the paws. For example, I missed having my palms lightly touching each other in Prayer and Tree Poses; the paws' padding interfered with that subtle connection. (About Tree Pose, though…the foot paw improved my ability to gently rest the sole of my foot on the opposite thigh without feeling like it was going to slide down.)
Should You Buy It: I'd say so, if you travel even sometimes or want the freedom to drop into a yoga class, impromptu – Yoga-Paws easily fit in a large purse or travel bag.
Yoga teachers might also find this product convenient for moving around the room demonstrating poses without their having to stick to one yoga mat at the front of class.
Yogapaws.com; $44

What's the best night to come to your bar?
Friday, it is our best night. It is literally asses-to-elbows here. We have great DJs from New York and Connecticut who get the party started. The music is mostly EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and house.
What infusions are you making?
We have house-made infusions that are tequila based. They are strawberry-blackberry-raspberry, orange-mango-pineapple, apple-cinnamon, and we make a pepper-infused tequila with jalapeno, habanero, bell and garlic pepper. These go very quickly.
Are there cocktail trends you hate?
Get over the tonic and onto soda. First, you're not tasting vodka or gin, and second, it has 110 calories. You might as well order a beer. Tonic is not low-calorie. It also seems like everyone is jumping on this gluten-free trend with their liquor.
What booze is the best value?
Thursday night top-shelf tequila shots for $5, which by the way should be ordered without training wheels (lime wedge and salt). That just masks the taste of tequila.
