Founded more than a decade ago by Doctor of Chiropractic and naturopathic doctor Patrick Flynn, The Wellness Way offers a wide array of services aimed at treating the entire person and not just that person's symptoms. The practitioners at these clinics include chiropractors, rehab experts, massage therapists, and nutritionists, all united in the goal of finding the root cause of ailments and promoting overall health.
Named one of the Best Spas in Green Bay, Lifespa Wellness Center boasts six one-hour facials for a variety of skin types. Any client can ask for a customized facial, and those with sensitive skin can reap the benefits of the Rosacea Facial, which harnesses the soothing, botanical properties of rosehips and petals to improve circulation. More resilient skin types can venture into the land of exfoliation, with the Organic Microdermabrasion Facial, which incorporates plant extracts to scrub and hydrate the skin. The indulgent Eminence Enzyme Peel exfoliates hungry skin with yam and pumpkin and leaves it as smooth and kissable as the vegetables themselves. Lifespa proudly uses Eminence Organics Skin Care products with all-natural ingredients and offers a blending bar where customers can blend their own signature oils and continue their pampering at home.
Licensed massage therapist Katrina Richardson's stress-busting hands ease tension out of achy muscles with practiced strokes. The ameliorative hour-long Ultimate Swedish massage first calms senses agitated by everyday travails and day jobs at the strobe light inspection office with hot towels and aromatherapy. Swedish massage's flowing strokes and relaxing manipulations then liquefy muscular distemper, improving circulation and range of motion, and sinking bone-movers into a blissful torpor. An extended foot massage finishes off visits, pampering piggies with a special foot crème that infuses nourishing emollients deep into pedal skin, leaving feet softer than a chinchilla slathered in butter.
Using a variety of specialized lasers and high-quality skincare products, experienced aestheticians help rid their clients of unwanted wrinkles, acne, cellulite, and hair. To that end, they offer a service menu of Botox, custom facials, and i-Lipo as well as laser hair removal and electrolysis.
Helmed by certified physician Richard Parfitt, AestheticA Skin Health Center staffs a squad of experienced medical professionals all skilled at the art of hair eradication using the concentrated heat of a high-power Intense Pulsed Light laser. IPL is known to reduce hair in a virtually pain-free procedure that some have said is less painful than waxing or whittling with a dull stick. The included initial consultation (a $30 value) takes about 30 minutes, with the procedure itself lasting roughly 15 to 30 minutes per session. AestheticA's experienced, licensed staff will do its best to make customers feel comfortable in a relaxing spa-like environment. Laser therapy can ensure a relentlessly smooth surface that won't compromise times at the human-dolphin relay leg of the upcoming swim meet.

Social Innovation and Volunteerism
Supporting creative, volunteer-led community development in Uzbekistan
A joint initiative between UNDP and UNV, the 'Social Innovation and Volunteerism' project aims to support Uzbekistan's youth to participate more effectively in community development processes. Key activities include a small grants scheme for community based volunteer projects, the development of a central platform for volunteering opportunities, and the delivery of relevant trainings.

Detailed information
The vital role volunteers play in empowered and resilient communities, as well as in working towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals, has been recognised by several UN resolutions and referred to personally by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. However, despite Uzbekistan's rich tradition of 'Hashar' (mutual-help community groups), the concepts of volunteerism and voluntary community service are not yet widely known practised in the country. As a result, youth in Uzbekistan are missing out on the benefits of volunteering such as increased confidence and employability, while communities in turn do not benefit from the valuable contribution volunteers can make to local development processes. Against this background, the project works to enable a culture of volunteerism throughout Uzbekistan. Special emphasis is put on introducing the concept of social innovation as a tool to support volunteer initiatives and to lay the fundaments for more social entrepreneurialism.
Current status
There are currently 7 project staff active in Tashkent, including 3 National UN Volunteers and one International UN Volunteer. Project activities in Tashkent are focused (1) on advocating for and building countrywide networks and platforms for social innovation and volunteerism and (2) on developing, piloting and documenting youth-led activities. The project is represented in pilot regions through Community Volunteer Coordinators, engaging local youth with the help of knowledge products developed by the Tashkent team. Pilot regions include Jizzakh, Namangan, Nukus and Muynak.
Activities completed during 2013:
- The competitive selection of 17 youth groups to receive the equivalent of $1,500 through a small grants scheme, and the training of successful applicants on project development, to help them contribute locally to achieving Millennium Development Goals outcomes;
-The development of a Volunteer's Code of Conduct, the launch of a Volunteers' web portal, and the launch of a Volunteerism Promotion Campaign, to support the growth of volunteerism in Uzbekistan;
-The organisation of two training on social innovation, with the help of international experts, to make their knowledge locally available;
-The organisation of a tourism contest to attract tourists to Uzbekistan's under-promoted regions, as well as to improve the capacities of participants by providing them with IT equipment and media training;
-The production of training manuals addressing personal and professional development topics including project management, MDGs and social entrepreneurship, and to increase the employability of youth;
- The launching of debate and discussion clubs throughout Uzbekistan, to allow youth to improve their abilities in expressing and defending their opinions;
- The establishment of regular Café Scientique events, where interested members of the public can discuss scientific topics with broader social relevance
Activities planned for 2014:
- The competitive selection of a second batch of 17 youth groups to receive the equivalent of $1,500 through a small grants scheme, and the training of successful applicants on project development, to help them contribute locally to achieving Millennium Development Goals outcomes;
- The establishment of a social innovation lab in, to serve as a physical space providing the necessary equipment and know-how needed to undertake social innovation projects;
- The further integration of youth into official tourism promotion platforms;
- The development of educational material on the fundamentals of parliamentarianism, to raise awareness of this topic;
-The establishment of a Youth Council in the Muynak city of Karakalpakstan, under the city Khokimyiat (regional government), to enhance the voice of youth in the region;
- Scaling up and ensuring sustainability of project activities developed in Tashkent throughout pilot regions
The main goal of the project is to create an enabling environment for volunteerism, with focus on volunteering for local development outcomes. As a result of the project, volunteers and youth in particular will be better informed about development challenges, and will have the knowledge and tools needed to successfully address them at a local level. The project's social innovation lab and small grants scheme will support groups of proactive individuals in launching their own initiatives, while a central web platform will provide access to information and volunteering opportunities.
- Promote and enhance the role of volunteers in community, regional and national development processes
- Develop the capacities, skills and abilities of volunteers and volunteer organisations
- Empower and support concrete groups of volunteers to participate in community development processes
- Introduce and raise awareness about social innovation as a tool for inclusive development
- Facilitate social innovation through training events, grants and the creation of an innovation lab
Considerations about the sustainability of the project's key objectives are emphasised at each implementation stage:
-Initiatives such as the Social Innovation Lab or Debates Training are developed and implemented in close collaboration with well-established partners who can guarantee the continuity of project activities.
-The project works to build the capacities of national partners. This will ensure that partner organisations such as the Kamalot (national youth network) are in a strong position to advocate for and promote volunteerism in the future.
-The project works to establish a set of national best practice standards. Developed through dialogue with national partners, both a code of conduct for volunteers and a toolkit addressing the responsibilities of volunteer-employing organisations will help to build a lasting framework for volunteerism in Uzbekistan.
- The project works to provide training and awareness-raising to a large number of individuals throughout Uzbekistan, with the intention that these individuals will act as multipliers within their own social networks. This will ensure progress towards an enabling cultural environment for volunteer action and social innovation in Uzbekistan.

Current revision
Christin Pramudiati Hollis graduated from Frateran Catholic High School in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. After a year experience of co-op in ISP Chemical, Inc., she graduated from the University of Kentucky with magna cum laude in Chemical Engineering. During her undergraduate study, under the guidance of Dr. J. Zach Hilt, they successfully developed a patented polymer-based (PLGA) drug delivery system for Crohn's disease. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, working with Dr. Tonglei Li to formulate anticancer drug in the form of nanocrystals. It is hypothesized that this novel drug delivery form will be able to by-pass the solubility and stability problems that are being faced by current chemotherapy formulations. |

I am really amazed at the quality of the Jordana brand seeing as how inexpensive their products are. First, I was bowled over by the Jordana Volumizing mascara, which has ended my search for the perfect mascara, and now this lovely eyeshadow comes along. I picked this up on a whim when I was buying another mascara for $1.99 for a duo. I'm not sure what shade I got because I pulled the plastic off the bottom but it is a duo with a light peachy shade and a deep, burgundy-bronze shade.
This eyeshadow is highly pigmented, applies smoothly, and lasts. It's actually nicer than the Maybelline that I usually use and have been using for years. It's shimmery, which is okay but I am going to go back to Walgreens and see if they carry any matte shades for daytime. The packaging is lovely, too, a nice little round canister that displays the colors and snaps tightly closed.
Jordana is a really nice, low cost drugstore alternative to expensive cosmetics. I can see this brand getting cult status. The only downside is that as far as I know, Walgreens is the only major retailer that carries this brand. Let's hope they never stop!

These eyeshadows are a gem. I got one of them in a sample today called Double Impact. WOWZA, the pigmentation on them is crazy. A lot of cheaper eyeshadows take a little something extra to get the color to show up but without primer, applied dry, these are really vibrant. I was extremely impressed. So much so that I may have to just go buy one in every color. This is my new favorite cheap eyeshadow.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got the duo in "Splitting Image" and it's a medium tan gold & plum-ish brown. Very pretty colors. These duos remind me of the L'Oreal HIP duos but at about half the price of $4.29 (at Walgreens).
Packaging feels sturdy, a little bulky but I don't mind it much.
I might buy a few more but in no rush.
Why dont these have more reviews? Everyone should be raving on this product. I have this in Smokey Browns. The pigmentation is phenominal. One swipe and color payoff is incredible. If you want to get one. definately check out the smokey brown one. Packaging looks expensive to me, though it was like a dollar. I really like it.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this in Twofold which is a purple and pink combo i have dark chocolate brown eyes and i love purple on my eyes well this combo is amazing i use it a lot because it brings out the brown in my eyes and for 2.99 thats so great Jordana has stepped up their game as these colors are very pigmented.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have the duo called Good Match. Jordana describes the colors a matte light tan and matte neutral beige. I don't have a lot of matte colors so this duo is prefect. Staying power isn't great, but you must prep and prime for the best results. I love this duo as an every day eyeshadow look. Something I can swipe on for when i just go to the grocery store or school. The only problem is that I feel like they do crumble when i dip my eyeshadow brush, and the pigmentation is somewhat sheer, but the texture is soft and the price is right.

Epic Games is targeting a 30fps framerate for Gears of War 3 in order to "put more on screen", the developer's confirmed to CVG.
Responding to yesterday's rough Russian magazine translations, design superstar Cliff Bleszinski said that the developer is indeed opting for prettier visuals over a 60fps framerate.
He said: "Our target is, and shall remain, 30fps. When asked about 60 we always respond that we'd rather have the extra juice to put more on screen and stick with 30."
Yesterday's mag translations suggested that the trade-off in framerate was so that Epic can incorporate "multi-layered shadows, wind and particle effects," plus levels that "change in real time".
Mr. B is keen to stress that online translations have been done "badly" and fans shouldn't totally trust them. Apart from the 30fps bit. That's correct.
Read everything we know about the big sequel in our huge Gears of War 3 details blowout. It's sounding very good indeed...

Some folks are so wrought up they are not just unwilling, they are truly incapable of dealing with reasoned analysis.
But for those with whom you can have a civil discussion you might consider the following.]
They are wrong. There are differences.
But there are very few differences when it comes to matters affecting the economic interests of their major corporate donors. And no wonder. Their funding is coming, in many cases, from the very same corporations.
That's the point. Not that there are no differences whatsoever -- as might have appeared when they both appeared in identical suits, shirts, ties and hairstyles at one of the debates.
Jake Werner, of the Independent Media, should be credited with the following list, forwarded to me by Albert V. Krebs.
* Neither candidate supports a fair trade approach to foreign trade policy -- encouraging or mandating respect for labor rights and the environment.At the same time:* Neither candidate has proposed true health care reform, which would create a universal serrvice-on-demand system.
* Neither candidate will push for meaningful campaign finance reform: full public funding for all stages of all campaigns.
[Note from N.J.: In fairness, Gore says he will send McCain-Feingold to the Hill. But: (a) Does he understand the difference between "send to the Hill" and "push for"? Does he think we don't know the difference? (b) Why was he unable or unwilling to get it done during the last 8 years? (c) What is his secret plan that will enable him, as president, to pass legislation without having it approved by the House and Senate? (d) For 30 years campaign finance proponents have worked within the two-party system, lobbying without success. It is understandable that those who benefit from the present system -- the 98 percent of members of Congress who are re-elected, and the corporations they serve -- don't want to change. It is with great reluctance that campaign finance reformers have come to the conclusion a third party is the only viable strategy. Do Democrats offer an alternative strategy? If so, we haven't heard it. (e) Finally, the charge is accurate: neither Gore or Bush favor "full public funding for all stages of campaigns."]
* Neither candidate supports a minimum wage to match the cost of living or a mandatory living wage.
* Neither candidate has a serious solution to the endemic poverty and hopelessness of the inner cities.
* Neither candidate will contemplate drug law reform.
* Neither candidate is committed to a massive reduction (or even a small reduction!) in military spending.
* Neither candidate has a plan to make a high-end college education affordable for children from lower-class families.
* Neither candidate is willing to commit sufficient resources to fighting the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa.
* Neither candidate has proposed measures to address the skyrocketing inequality of wealth in the United States.
* Neither candidate would work to end the corporate takeover of rural America -- a trend that is wiping out small farmers and replacing them with factory farms that damage the environment, mechanize animal cruelty, and destroy the standard of living of nearby communities.
* Neither candidate has committed himself to a positive change on Iraq policy.
* Neither candidate has a legitimate plan to eliminate, or even substantially reduce, the incredibly high child poverty rate in the United States.
* Neither candidate opposes the destructive and pointless embargo against Cuba.
* Neither candidate plans to eliminate the massive government subsidies to business (corporate welfare), which cost much more than government aid to the poor ever did.
* Neither candidate supports the right of gay or lesbian couples to marry.
* Neither candidate will stop Clinton's massive aid package to Colombia.
* Neither candidate supports a considerable reduction in the debts owed by most poor countries.
* Neither candidate has any plans whatsoever to improve the lot of the Amerindian nations, the most disadvantaged social group in the country.
* Neither candidate supports tough measures to counteract the increasingly grave threat of global warming.
* Both candidates support the economic liberalization agenda of the Treasury Department, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.There is more. Others have additional lists. But this one should be enough to make the point.* Both candidates support a national missile defense program.
* Both candidates support the huge American arms export industry.
* Both candidates support standardized tests as a way to measure student achievement. This ensures that instructors will teach to the test and measures ability to perform on multiple choice questions rather than ability to think critically or understand general concepts.
* Both candidates support the death penalty.
* Both candidates support the corporate media system, which excludes diverse programming and slants news coverage in favor of the powerful.
When we stick with a choice between two corporate-funded parties we are bound to get great similarity between their rhetoric -- and their actions once in office. The mass media (sustained by the same corporations in their role as advertisers) are bound to censor the discussion of an enormous number of issues. The Presidential Debates Commission -- funded by large corporations, and controlled by the two major parties -- is bound to raise the barrier to entry sufficiently high that none but the two parties' candidates will participate.
That's why I have reluctantly come to the conclusion we need a third party. That said, the Green Party and its candidate, Ralph Nader, seem the best choice.

Here's what GW tech editor Paul Riario hopes to find under his tree this year!
Guitar World rounds up 17 amazing practice amps that will make you sound better.
The definitive guide to Kurt Cobain's pawn shop prizes, stomp boxes and blown woofers.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario reviews a unique item, the Super-Vee Mag-Lok anti-deflection device. The Mag-Lok uses rare-earth magnets to keep a floating tremolo system from moving when strings are bent, so that double-stop bends remain in tune.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario looks at Traynor's DH25H QuarterHorse MicroAmp. The QuarterHorse features two channels, 25 watts of output at eight ohms and built-in effects.
In the video below, we check out the new Dimebag Concrete Sledge ML guitar. Actually, you'll notice Dimebag's original ML hanging on the wall; that, of course, was the inspiration for the new model. The new version features an exact rendering of the colorful airbrush job on the original guitar. It's got everything but the Kiss sticker!
Guitar World stopped off at the Celestion booth last week during the 2012 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California, to speak to John Paice about the company's new offerings, including the G12M-65 Creamback speaker.
Guitar World visited the T-Rex booth at last week's 2012 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California, to check out the company's new offerings for 2012. The new gear includes the multi-featured Gull Wah, the Hobo Drive overdrive pedal and four new Tonebug pedals, including a reverb, phaser, chorus/flanger and distortion (AKA the Totenschläger).
New Vox gear includes the Delay Lab pedal, which offers 30 presets and a 28-second looper (There's so much more to say about the Delay Lab; to read more about it -- and see another video -- head here); the Handwired Wah, which offers more mid-range than usual; the AC4 C1 amp in blue; the AC4 Handwired amp and the Tony Bruno TB18 amp.
DV Mark, an Italy-based manufacturer of guitar amplifiers and effect pedals, unveiled six -- yes, six -- new effect pedals last week at the 2012 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California. Like everything else DV Mark makes, the pedals are 100 percent constructed in Italy with passion and careful attention to thousands of details.
Last week, we visited the Ibanez booth at the 2012 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California, to get a good look at the company's new offerings. Among them is the Ibanez 2012 Steve Vai Jem guitar. The guitar, which comes in a beautiful Sea Foam Green finish ("A color that Steve is very fond of"), features a cool Tree of Life neck inlay. Despite its good looks, it's actually the most affordable Jem model that Ibanez makes, with a street price of around $1,399.
Most of the updates include EVH's Wolfgang USA series of guitars and the 5150-III amp. The Wolfgang now offers flame maple tops, plus ebony fingerboards on five of the eight available models. They're all available with Floyd Rose or double-locking hard-tail.
This past week, Ovation announced the release of two new signature Viper models designed by and for Yngwie Malmsteen. The two models will come in two colors, white and Rosso Corsa Red, which Ovation points out matches one of Yngwie's favorite Ferraris.

This gallery exhibition takes a look behind the scenes, revealing the innovative collaborative process behind the making of the film. Original artwork, both digital and hand-drawn, an exclusive time-lapse video presentation of in-process footage progressing to the finished film, and a revealing documentary that takes us into the DreamWorks Animation studio, show how the colorful world of the movie and its memorable characters were created. An accompanying film series, with screenings every Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 p.m. and special holiday screenings, offers visitors the opportunity to experience the finest films from DreamWorks Animation, including the Shrek and Madagascar series, "Antz," "How to Train Your Dragon," and much more, in a theatrical setting.

Magnificent Trees of The New York Botanical Garden - New York Botanical Garden Through April 14, 2013 - Bronx
Larry Lederman, landscape photographer and member of NYBG's Board of Advisors, has spent years walking the garden grounds to observe and photograph trees and vistas in all seasons and at all times of day. Lush images featuring their diversity and visual impact are on view in the gallery space. The New York Botanical Garden is home to more than 30,000 trees, some in woodland, some in groves, and some standing in solitary majesty. Magnificent Trees is lavishly illustrated with photographs by Larry Lederman and accompanied by descriptions by Todd A. Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden. An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

Sobriety checkpoints scheduled for July
Doña Ana County Sheriff's deputies have planned at least three sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols scheduled for the month of July. These activities are part of an ongoing effort to reduce DWI-related crashes, injuries and deaths.
Checkpoints and patrols will be conducted on July 4, July 6 and July 27 in various undisclosed locations throughout Doña Ana County. Checkpoints are usually set up between 6 p.m. and 4 a.m. Deputies will be looking for all types of violations with an emphasis on intoxicated drivers.
New Mexico law allows for the seizure or forfeiture of vehicles driven by people who have been convicted of multiple DWI offenses.
The Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office is also participating in the Department of Public Safety's 100 Days and Nights of Summer, a seasonal initiative that started on July 1. The statewide project puts more deputies on the streets during the summer months to reduce alcohol-related crashes and enforce the use of seatbelts.

Haywood Gilliam
Cardiovascular Surgery / Meriter Medical Group
Why did you choose your specialty?
From an early age I wanted to be a doctor. I later thought I wanted to be a neurosurgeon but the outcomes sometimes for them were just not pleasant to me. I've always been fascinated with physiology and the heart. Our patients usually come with some horrible thing where they've had a heart attack and can hardly do anything, and we do revascularization or replacement of a valve and then they regain. It's like a phoenix from the ashes. They come back to where they were. So that's why I felt this was a good fit for me.
What is the most rewarding thing about your job?
Taking care of sick people involves getting to know them. You have to know their point of view and values, and that has to go into what you're doing. It has to start right from the first time you meet them and it has to be a part of everything you do. What they want and what their values are dictate what happens. Without a doubt, it's the human interaction that makes it great. I'll have someone come up to me and say, "Oh, Dr. Gilliam, you operated on me fifteen years ago." There is nothing more satisfying.

We have discussed bathroom issues on here many times.
Woman shot in bathroom stall
Woman shot in bathroom
Updated: Thursday, 09 Jul 2009, 10:40 PM EDT
Published : Thursday, 09 Jul 2009, 9:27 PM EDT
Kristin Wright
TAMPA - A Tampa woman is recovering from a gunshot wound she received while using the bathroom at local hotel. Police say Thursday morning, 53-year-old Janifer Bliss was attending a women's health conference at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center on Fowler Avenue in Tampa.
She was inside a bathroom stall, when a bullet came from the next stall and hit her in the leg.
"We were really wondering what had gone on. We were kind of speculating as to what it could've been. A gunshot was pretty much the furthest from our imagination," said Hotel Manager Eddie Herrick.
Police say 56-year-old Debra Monce has a concealed weapons permit and had the gun in the stall next to Bliss.
"She had the gun in a holster on her pants. When she went to use the restroom, the gun fell out. It hit the ground. Once it hit the ground it discharged," said Tampa Police Spokesperson Andrea Davis. "[The bullet] went under the stall ... and hit the woman in the leg."
Police say Monce helped Bliss with her wound and told the front desk to call 911. Herrick says a hotel employee helped also.
"She was bleeding out pretty profusely from the gunshot wound. She had a pretty small hole in her leg, so she was able to apply pressure and stop the bleeding," he said.
Monce didn't return calls from FOX 13 or answer the door to her home in Land O' Lakes. Tampa Police handed the case over to the State Attorney's Office, and the office will decide whether criminal charges are in order.
"It's unsettling to know people would bring a concealed firearm into something like a medical conference," said Herrick. "She may have personal reasons why she carries that firearm."
Police say anyone carrying a gun in a holster needs to be very aware of what type of holster they're using.
"The type of holster the gun was in is called an open holster. It doesn't have any type of strap or clip holding the gun in," Davis said.

WWII's most famous soldiers, Willie and Joe, battle civilian life upon their return home in this sequel.
In the summer of 1945, a great tide of battered soldiers began flowing back to the united States from around the globe. Though victorious, these exhausted men were nevertheless too grief-stricken over the loss of comrades, too guilt-ridden that they had survived, and too numbed by trauma to share in the country's euphoria. Most never saw a ticker-tape parade, or stole a Times Square kiss. All they wanted was to settle back into quiet workaday lives without fear. How tragic that the forces unleashed by World War II made this simple wish impossible.

I have a fairly large room, 16 x 20, which we have always used as an office. It is on the main floor right off the front foyer. Large windows and its own powder room. It does not have any closets. We have bookcases along one wall.
I know a bedroom must have a closet to be listed as a bedroom. If I added a small closet, can this room be listed as a potential bedroom? Does adding a closet to a room require a permit? It would be an odd place to have a bedroom, but would it hurt to list it as a 5th bedroom? Jane |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need to make sure your septic is rated for 5 bedrooms... |
I think in this economy, advertising something as 5 bedrooms might even scare people off. If you can afford to add the closet, or happen to at least have 1=2 large wardrobe type of cabinets to put in there, just keep it as an office, and/or put a daybed in there, and let people see possibilities for themselves when they show up. If they need another bedroom, they'll appreciate it alright, but if not, then they won't feel (sight unseen) that the house is too large, expensive, etc. (whether or not the price is on it) and their imaginations will 'make it' into whatever kind of room they want, such as another family room or something. |
In my opinion, it is too central for a bedroom. Would feel way too public. I went in a house that is just as you described. It was a tudor style and the bathroom was in the back of the large den. They always used the room as a den, and the bathroom was just that. Ironically, it was the best bath in the house and usually the one the adults used for showering. It was a bit of an awkward setup, so I understand your concerns. Jo |

I would not limit it to a bedroom. Few people need more than 4 bedrooms so you are not hurting there. Advertise it as a room with lots of different potential, office, guest room, hobby room, den, etc. |
I'd add the wardrobes and advertise it as an office/guest room. |

Lincoln-Way Central coach Liz Karales was looking to change her lineup.
The Knights were more than willing to oblige.
Jana Mudrock played doubles last season, winning three matches at state with then-senior Catrina Cimaroli. Two seniors, Margaret Kolyvas and Maria Brown, played singles last season.
All three switched roles this season. Mudrock is Central's No. 1 singles player, Kolyvas and Brown are Central's No. 1 doubles team, and Karales could not be happier.
"Margaret and Maria have paired up nicely, and it's really nice they clicked since the beginning of the season," Karales said. "Jana has played well, too, with four of her six losses to the same two people."
Lincoln-Way Central will compete Wednesday (doubles) and Thursday (singles) at the SouthWest Suburban Red meet at Andrew.
"I'm really happy with how the girls have played," Karales said. "We've got some good experience going into the postseason and our focus is to qualify six people (two singles, four doubles) for state."

Hello everyone!!!
We live in Michigan in Zone 5. A number of years ago we built a bed of asiatic lilies and boy did they take off. Now the bed is overflowing and we would like to know the procedure of how and when to start transplanting. They are very close together and many varieties also. We did not plant them that close however the bed is filled now. We have many that bloom throughout the summer and just a mass of beautiful color and smells. Please give us some suggestions, we do not want to do this transplant wrong. Thanks Lary and Deb |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh boy. If the bed is full and you want to separate the lilies by color you have to do it when they are blooming or tie different colors of yarn on the stems to indicate color. If you really don't care you can do it now if the stems have died back. You are going to have way more lilies than you think if the bed is full. When they get crowded badly many bulbs don't come up and bloom. I find there is no stress on a blooming lily if you immediately take it to a new location. I just did it last summer and all finished blooming and bloomed well this year. Actually better as they weren't crowded anymore. Remember tiny bulblets will still be in the soil and can come up for three years or so amongst whatever you plant. We painted the house and all things had to be moved and some moved back so I am experienced with moving blooming bulbs. Normally you would do it in the early spring or fall but a crowded bed is a problem. It is a good idea to give them some bulb food when you transplant. There is no right way but remember to try and get the root and all if they are blooming. You will have lots of babies fall off so you can give them away or trade them or make some more beds and raise them. When you replant you will want clusters of three or five. You can use a triangle shape for planting. firstname.lastname@example.com let me know if I can help. This is my new email address. Not listed here yet. |

When He Doesn't Want Kids (and You Do)
In fact, it seems you have already made the decision that separating and keeping your goals and dreams is better than staying together and giving them up.Your real struggle is facing the pain of actually ending the relationship.It is very sad when a couple realizes that they don't share the same vision of "us." As with any loss, you need to grieve in order to move on. Take your time, and go easy on yourself. Sometimes it takes lots of breakups, especially when the desire to be together remains strong. It doesn't surprise me that you've tried four times. That doesn't mean that you are "meant to be," or that there's some cosmic force keeping you together. Quite the opposite--it means that you're on the right track, so hold steady. There's nothing wrong with making your parting a slow process. Maybe that will soothe your broken hearts.With a little time and a little perspective, I think you will be surprised at how the many good things you've gotten from this relationship will stay with you. Being in this very special relationship is an important event that forever will be a part of you both, and will shape your future in ways you may not be able to predict right now. It may take another breakup or two, but eventually, going forward individually to realize your goals and dreams will feel more right than staying together.

Has anyone used this for a countertop surface? If so, do you have any photos? Also wondering if anyone has seen it in person? what are your thoughts compared to other quartz surfaces like caesarstone frosty carrina, Silestone lyra, etc. We have chosen a carrara marble beveled subway tile and Im wondering how it will look together.

I am in the process of looking at quartz countertops that look like marble, too. I just ordered some samples from Cambria and Silestone online. In Cambria I got Torquay and Waverton. The Torquay is a bright white with grey veining and the Waverton is a "greige" with veining. In Silestone I got samples in Lyra, Lagoon and Helix. I really like the Lagoon, but it doesn't have enough veining for my husband. I think I'm going with the Lyra for several reasons! 1) all of the samples have nice veining, but except for the Lagoon & Lyra, I really noticed what I called "pores" or specks in the quartz 2) I'm choosing a Silestone product over Cambria because the countertop store I'm buying it from will do the fabrication. Cambria requires that all fabrication be done by the manufacture/distributor and I've seen some seams that are deemed acceptable by the company, but would not be acceptable to me. My countertop place is a mom & pop / small business owner and I've seen their seam work and I trust them. Best of luck! |

The Bride was reluctant to try on wedding dresses in a bridal salon, so I offered to make a dress for her. Having previously made items for this bride to be, I was able to advise her on the correct style and shape best suited to her body shape and the feel that she was looking for in her dress. As I work full time I was only able to work on the dress, in the evenings and on week-ends over a 10 week period, from the beginning this was a dream project to work on from the first toile to the finished garment. Spending many hours working on this dress was a pure joy, when you work with beautiful fabrics such as these, it makes the construction so enjoyable. The bride did lose some weight before the wedding so her dress is a little loose in places but I was the only one to notice.

Feel Better Naturally
By Michael Castleman
Chew gum, listen to music, or try hypnosis for real pain relief.
Thanks to a history of bad reactions, Louanne Weston was willing to do almost anything to avoid anesthesia. So when her doctor advised surgery to remove uterine fibroids that were causing cramps and heavy bleeding during her period, Weston went looking for an anesthesia alternative. She found hypnosis—and her doctor agreed to give it a try.
"Under hypnosis, I visited the moon, a beach, and other beautiful places far away from the operating room, and I felt no pain during the surgery," says Weston, a sex and relationships therapist in Fair Oaks, California. Even better, she avoided what she feared most: days of nasty side effects caused by anesthesia.
After coming out of her hypnotic state, instead of the usual debilitating nausea, she felt hungry. "I got up, walked out, and went to the cafeteria."
Going under the knife without drugs sounds far-fetched. But experts say hypnotherapy is just one of a growing number of alternative pain remedies worth trying; other options aim to ease everyday discomforts like heartburn or PMS. "Alternative therapies often help," says Ronald V. Myers, MD, president of the American Pain Institute. "I think it's important for both physicians and the public to keep an open mind. I support whatever works." Here are five of the most promising alternatives.
Gum for heartburn
Heartburn happens when stomach acids splash back into the esophagus and burn it. Treatment often includes antacids that reduce the amount of acid. But British researchers recently confirmed U.S. studies showing that chewing gum after a meal helps fight heartburn. Chewing gum increases saliva, which helps wash the acid back down to the stomach, the researchers say. The type of gum doesn't matter, but the latest research used sugar-free—and it's easier on your teeth.
If you try it: Chew for at least 30 minutes after eating.
Music for body aches
Looking for an excuse to invest in an iPod? New research shows that music can help ease neck and back pain. In a study involving 40 Ohio pain-clinic patients, one group listened to their favorite pop songs or nature sounds on headsets for an hour a day, another group listened to jazz or symphony music, and a third heard no music. The music groups said their pain dropped between 12 and 21 percent (based on the pain scale the researchers used). In related studies, music even helped reduce pain after surgery, lessen labor pain, and aid in burn treatment. Music has also been used successfully to boost immune function, treat insomnia and high blood pressure, and enhance quality of life for people with cancer.

"Shell is putting finishing touches to its testing programme at its Corrib licence off the West Coast".
The long delayed E3.4 billion Corrib gas project consists of five wells and Shell E and P have been flaring gas from each of them over the past few days as part of the testing procedures.
The successful gas flare, confirming the production capacity of the P6 well, "means that all five Corrib wells are ready to flow," according to a Shell Ireland spokesperson.
The successful operation coincides with the firm lodging documents with the Companies Office confirming that it has provided a fresh cash injection of E100m to help complete the project.
According to the Shell Ireland spokesperson: "The three Corrib Gas Partners expect to invest circa E300m in the project during 2014. The E100m increase in share capital by Shell E and P Ireland Limited is to support Shell E and P Ireland Ltd's ongoing activities in Ireland."
"Good progress continues to be made on the final elements of the Corrib gas project," said a spokesperson.
"Offshore, the Ocean Guardian drilling rig - which has been at the Corrib field location since early May - has successfully completed its work on the P6 well. In the coming weeks, a number of other vessels will be working at the Corrib field, installing flowlines and other sub-sea infrastructure in preparation for first gas," they added.
"On land, a major project milestone was achieved with breakthrough in the Corrib tunnel which occurred on May 19, 2014. With the completion of tunnel construction, the coming months will see the 4.9km section of onshore gas pipeline being installed inside the tunnel along with the control umbilical and other services. Once tested, the tunnel will be backfilled with grout". Shell Ireland expects first gas to flow, from Corrib, in mid-2015.
