Grandparents Denied Contact
- We have not be able to be real grandparents since my granddaughter was born April 2013. I was told that I will not be able to babysit her. I have not been able to feed her, change her diaper or do anything for her. The toys and clothes I have given her I have never seen again. I was told they were not good enough or not the right color. We were told no pictures with her, and we are not allowed to go to her when we see her and to hold her. But my daughter-in-law's mother gets to watch her, and they post all the things her mom does for her and pictures of her family with her on Facebook. They live with her parents. (My son is 34 and she is 28.) My son has a good job. We never see them. They live six miles away from us and will not come to our house because we told them how this has hurt us. So we are the bad guys because we are not okay with the way we are treated. This has hurt the whole family because even my other children are treated like this. It has been so hard for us. Only God has helped us going through this.

Tired of Games
- I grew up with parents who made sure I got to see both of my grandparents all the time, which gave me great respect for the elderly. Now as a Grammy of 2, from my stepdaughter who has had a dysfunctional, manipulative relationship with her mother, I see all the patterns of her childhood being brought on to her children (SAD). My husband and I don't see the youngest child because his dad is a narcissistic ass. Lucky my husband and I do see the other one, who is 3 years old, during her dad's visitation because her father was brought up with the same values as I was. The relationship we have with the daughter (step) consists of lies, manipulation, being self-centered, using the children as leverage to get her needs met -- all the patterns her mother used when she was growing up. I'm not playing anymore, and I feel healthy that I distance myself from that dysfunction. I sure miss the grandkids, but it is what it is.

So Happy I Can Help
- When I came back to this site to review new posts, I see that I personally helped someone feel better about their situation, and that truly warms my heart. I can honestly say that even though my experiences have been negative bordering on traumatic, I wouldn't change it. I have learned how to take the high road in all trying situations, which has made me wiser from the experience. I'm so glad that I could brighten another grandmother's day. We all need to stick together. Love your grandchildren unconditionally, and never refuse a chance to have time with them. It may not be on your terms, but if you could choose 3 times a month, 3 hours each of those days over zero days and zero hours? Take that time! You never know, it may gradually increase with time. Mine did.

Seems All Too Common
- I too have been kept at arm's length. My son's wife thinks only her family counts. I am "his"mother, and that makes me the one on the outside looking in. I am allowed minor contact. It hurts. But it's common that the daughter-in-law puts her husband's mother off to the side, not caring that she is equally interested in her grandchildren, loves them just as much and would love to have the same bond that she gives her own mother and family. But I have come to believe it's best to detach enough that the pain doesn't wear you down. It is what it is. And hurting and living in pain won't make it better.... You have to accept it. And detach. If your daughter-in-law never wanted a bond with you, you can be sure she will see no real value in her child having one with you either.

To All Grandparents Missing Their Grands
- Maybe today ... we can think of something good. Something that eases the pain of missing our grandchildren. It's not easy, I know. Even TV commercials showing grandparent and grandchild can be painful. But today we must all focus on the things we have, not so much on what we have lost. It will give you strength in faith. Faith that someday ... just maybe ... our grandchildren will be back in our lives. Good does come to those with patience. I hug you all.
- —GramaSue11
Thank you, Devastated Mimi
- I feel stronger this morning with your response. I thank you dearly and will use this for continued strength when my son arrives next week with my granddaughter. We did have a great bond, and I'm sure with mom not around, she will remember all the good times she had when she visited me and her poppy. Mom has her scared of us, but I now truly believe ... a heart can never forget love. It's been almost 4 years since we were a family. She was only 3 when her mom began the horrible stories and began the brainwashing. She is confused, I know, but I know if I speak to her through my heart, it will instill that trust you speak of. I thank you, Mimi.You're an angel. Hugs, GramaSue
- —GramaSue11
It Will Come Around, Gramma Sue
- You have an older grand that will listen to her mother because mom's word is law. Did you have constant contact with her up until she turned 7? You see, I ask that because if she knew you well enough, eventually she will begin to question her mom about you. Someday mom's story isn't going to add up. Does she stay in contact with her father? If she does, he can convey to her just how much you miss her and if she says anything to the contrary, he can say something like, "Is that so? Because i know for sure that Gramma Sue doesn't feel that way at all. She loves you very, very much and misses you even more. I want you to remember that, no matter what, I'm your daddy and I will never, ever tell you something that isn't true. EVER!" Your son is the key player in this. Even though her mother may tell her these horrible things about you, he must instill a sense of trust with her that may even transcend what her mother is trying to get her to believe. Tell him if he makes a promise, he must never break it.

What Goes Around Comes Around.
- I'm a grandma, too. My granddaughter's mother is a narcissist, I believe. She has serious mental issues. She controls and brainwashes my granddaughter terribly. She uses her to gain control in divorce proceedings as well. I am sad to think that a mom can do this and get away with it. CPS was useless in our situation. The judge granted us to be able to see our granddaughter, but now the mom has brainwashed her into thinking we are bad people, and she don't want to see us now. How do you tell a child her mom is wrong? She's only 7. The child's dad, my son, comes thousand of miles to visit, and we so want our family back together. He comes next week. What's worse is not knowing who we can turn to for help. Other then God, of course. So that's what I have done...I've put it in Gods hands and good ole karma. We miss our grandaughter....she is our world.And at one time...we were hers.She adored us so. Dear God....hear us pray.

I Miss Her So Much
- My daughter and her husband split up. My daughter was living at a place with my granddaughter until her lease was up. My son-in-law was paying the rent for them. He stopped paying rent and took child support on himself. I offered to let my daughter and granddaughter live with me. I walked on eggshells for a month and a half and gave my bedroom to them. We went to court, and I had to testify against my SIL. I didn't want to but had to. That morning it got so bad that she told me to shut up. I reached my boiling point then and there. I told her not to tell me to shut up. My disabled husband made her leave. Now she is keeping my granddaughter from me. I just lost my only son last year, only 26 years old, to a massive heart attack. I can't take much more. Someone please talk to me. My daughter was my best friend, and my grandbaby is my breath that I breathe! So heartbroken!

To All Grandparents and Parents
- I have been taking care of my grandchildren for 12 years off and on. It has always been a joy. But as one grandparent pointed out, when you deal with narcissistic people, it is difficult to stand by while they use their children as tools to manipulate your son or daughter. My son was a intelligent man until he got with this woman. Within two weeks she was pregnant. Oh, and did I mention she had a 18-month-old daughter at the time? This woman proceeded to yell at me in public for years. I told my son, yet he did nothing. So one day I met up with her. She yelled at me when I was picking up the kids at a restaurant. I had warned her several times I would be done. I told her this would be the last time I would take care of the kids. I could not deal with her disrespect after all my husband and I were giving them -- gas and groceries, approximately $1500 a month. So I have not seen my grandkids for over 4 months. My son said mean things to his stepdad. All I've asked for is a apology. He refuses.
- —Guest Disappointedparent
To GuestMom3
- I do understand that I'm not the parent in my situation. I am, however, a parent of a son whose ex tries to control my family by using my grandson to get what she wants. This is what we refer to as a narcissist. I don't think that you know how any of these grandparents parented their children. How can you assume that we ever abused our children? That's so very unfair. What I do see when I read your comment is that YOU were beaten as a child and may have something against your own parents. I have three grown kids that I know I have cut the cord with. But it's them that seem to not realize it. I'm here to support them, but I don't interfere with parenting or relationships. Like I told Abbisunshine, sounds like you may need some kind of counseling .
- —Guest devastatedmimi
Grandparents Need to Realize This
- Grandparents need to realize you are just this grandparents; you are not the parents! I read stories on here. I feel for some, but no one is perfect. Parents (like you were when your kids where younger) make mistakes and learn from them. If the parents want help, they'll ask for it. Grandparents need to cut the cord. Your kids are grown up and are adults with their own children to raise, and I'm sorry, but one thing's for sure: Parents of our generation (myself included) never ever ever would hit or physically hurt our kids like we got when we were children. What you don't realize is that when you hit and beat us when we where children as a form of punishment, all we felt inside was unloved by our parents. Now when you are spoiling our kids and giving them everything and letting them get away with whatever, you look like total hypocrites, because when we where kids we would get told no all the time and would be smacked for speaking to our parents like that. So remember: You'er not the parents. We are.
- —Guest Mom3
Missing Both of Them
- From the beginning I tried to be supportive of my adult daughter even though I didn't agree with most of her decisions. I was there to help deliver my granddaughter, brought them both back home (over 3,000 miles away), let them live with us for a whole year, then put them up in an apartment (that I paid for) for a year, hoping it would give her time to get it together. Never any gratitude or kind words -- instead laziness, steadily lying, cheating and even stealing from me. I was at my wits end and frankly couldn't afford to maintain two households. That was not part of the deal. The deal was I would do this for them out of love and concern, not obligation, but as a transition to get her on her feet. Had to eventually put her out. She went to live with my mom. That didn't last too long. Now I don't know where they are. I get the run around every time I try to see or make contact. I'm afraid she moved back to the very place I pulled her out of 4 yrs ago when my granddaughter was born. It hurts real bad.

Worried About Heavy Heart/Proud Pop Pop
- I just want fellow gp Heavy Heart to know that I hope things have worked in your favor. The person putting up with all these posts from me is a hero. You've done wonders for me. I am forever in your debt. I went from a hopeless, helpless, disheartened g-ma to a g-ma with clear boundaries and knowledgeable in my state's 3rd party rights (as well as others). This site has given me a direction in my life. Id like to be an advocate and maybe even a lawyer to aid these gp's. To all of them, post here, talk to a good therapist, write down your feelings or do what i did, write to that beautiful grandbaby. If I could, I would post a pic of the box of letters I wrote to my little guy. God bless you all.

11 November 2013 21:00 [Source: ICIS news]
By Judith Taylor
HOUSTON (ICIS)--The iso de-waxing (IDW) processing technology for base oils allows a wider variety of crude oil choices to utilise the production of the base stocks, Chevron sources clarified at a recent media event held ahead of the Q4 2013 mechanical start-up of its Group II Pascagoula Base Oil Plant (PBOP).
"Lube oil plants are probably the most complex of any in a refinery," one Chevron expert commented while discussing the IDW process.
Chevron technical experts explained that by using an all-hydroprocessing route, which signifies utilising the IDW, superior base oil purity can be achieved along with improved stability and customising properties.
With a caged catalyst sieve system that reforms the long-chain hydrocarbon feedstock molecules and prohibits re-entry to the system, Chevron's IDW technology can allow crude oil grades that would likely be problematic or unusable for a number of other base oil processing technologies, Chevron sources said.
"Yields in the final steps are at about 90% compared with approximately 50% yields in older technologies," one Chevron chemist commented.
Premium base oil grades such as Group II require a different additive set than other base stocks, but use less of the additive because of the nature of the base oil produced with the newer processes, so money is saved, another source said.
"IDW has about a 25% lower capex [capital expenditure] and about 30% lower operating costs, along with allowing wider crude oil flexibility," a Chevron chemist said.
IDW technology also yields a base stock with zero aromatics, the source added.
Aromatic molecules such as benzenes and xylenes are increasingly unfavourable in motor oil blends as evolving stipulations from US regulatory groups such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seek to minimise and eliminate these materials – deemed hazardous – from vehicle emissions.
Chevron pioneered in the IDW technology and holds a significant share of the global licensing of this base oil processing method.
PBOP is a Group II base oil unit with 25,000 bbl/day of Group II base oil production capacity, slated for continuous through-put operation at Chevron's 330,000 bbl refinery at the ?xml:namespace>

The Aerodigestive Disorders Clinic, formerly the Combined Airway Clinic, utilizes a multidisciplinary and coordinated approach to care for children with chronic and complex disorders of the upper airway (pharynx and larynx), the lower airway (trachea, bronchi, and lungs) and upper digestive tract (esophagus and stomach).
The clinic is a collaboration between Otolaryngology, Pulmonology and Gastroenterology. The team works together with a support team of speech language pathologists, nutritional specialists, social workers and nurse practitioners.
During a visit to the Pediatric Aerodigestive Disorders Clinic, the child is evaluated by the entire team on the same day in order to provide real time evaluation and treatment recommendations. This reduces the need for repeat visits to multiple subspecialists and allows for direct communication between caregivers. If operative evaluation or treatment is recommended, this can also be performed in a coordinated fashion.

I eat most of my vegetables, and there's not many vegetables I simply cannot stand. However, I don't usually go out of my way to eat them. I only eat them if they're given to me. If not, I don't tend to crave them, with the exception of tomatoes.

I like vegetables, but they get a bit redundant after a few weeks of eating them nonstop.
Brocolii, carrots, celery, and lettuce are mainly my favorites.
I hate cauliflower, squash, and onions.
Eating celery is also a good way to work out your jaw muscules. XP

The current all-ACO issue of Health Affairs includes a piece by Jeff Goldsmith entitled: Accountable Care Organizations: The Case For Flexible Partnerships Between Health Plans And Providers. It is a proposal for how private sector health plans ought to pay for services, in order to save us all from what Goldsmith sees happening in the near future thanks to the Gold Rush mentality among health care provider organizations working to become ACOs before they've been defined in regulation.
Life is not perfect, we have to play the hand we've been dealt, and we've been dealt ACOs. They will likely be a fact of life for many Medicare beneficiaries this time next year. Commercial payors are in the habit of glomming onto Medicare payment system innovations, so moving them -- and providers -- in a different direction will be difficult, though it may ultimately be a win-win-win for payors, providers and patients.

28.07.05 - Former two-weight Southern Area champion and European title challenger David Walker has dismissed the affections of the outspoken Deptford light middleweight Anthony Small. Small recently claimed on an Internet site that not only would he like to fight Kid Dynamite, but that his team had actually attempted, unsuccessfully, to make the fight..
I have never heard anything more ridiculous in my life, said Walker. Firstly, to my mind, Small needs to get out of nappies before he starts talking about fighting me; he is a seven fight novice.
I am a proven Championship contender who has won two titles and challenged for the European. The only fight I have lost in two and half years was against Roman Karmazin, who is now the IBF light middleweight champion.
Secondly, his team whoever they are - have not spoken to anyone at Hennessy Sports about making this contest.
And if they did, the reason the fight would be turned down wouldnt be because we are worried about anything Small brings to the table. It would be because we dont feel he has done anything to earn the fight.
In my opinion, the guy is a poor mans Spencer Fearon! I believe he is all flash and no substance. He even struggled to get out of the South East Divisionals in the ABAs. I am a former ABA champion and top England International.
Small asks what could I do to beat him, well how about knock him out? Hes nowhere near being ready to live with a peak me. If you ask me hes a circus act.
Walker added: I dont feel Small is anywhere near even being the best light middleweight prospect in London, let alone England.
I reckon the best young talent we have at that weight is easily my Hennessy Sports teammate Darren Barker.
Darren is a real stand out talent but he keeps quiet about it. He also has real pedigree. He is a Commonwealth games gold medallist and multi nations gold medallist. That to me indicates he is in a different league to Small.
From their one common opponent, Andrei Sherel, you may think the pair were similarly matched because they both beat him in 3.
But Barkers was a dominant win; he blew him away. In my opinion Small was being given all he could handle and Sherel was unlucky to get stopped.

"Oh dear, what have I done?"
Madison Bellini lifted a white gloved hand to her chest.
Staring back at her in the floor-length antique mirror stood a woman on the precipice of marriage. And she was shaking her head at Madison in disbelief. She moved her gloved fingers up and over the pearl encrusted bodice to slide along the lump she felt growing in her throat. She was having difficulty breathing. The woman in the mirror seemed troubled as well. She tried to see what her reflection was trying to tell her and barely heard her mother's authoritative and condescending voice.
"Madison, stop that before you hyperventilate. Really, darling. And stop worrying your lip so. Don't you realize how lucky you are to be marrying Edward? Why, every girl in town is after that man."
"And most of them have had him." Madison almost did choke as she heard the mumbled reply from her best friend, Bethany.
"What was that, dear?" Her mother's tone held a sharp edge of warning.
"Um, she was agreeing with you, Mother."
"Hmm. Well, darling, I need to leave you with your ... friend. If I don't go and pry your father away from the mayor now, I'll have to walk you down the aisle. I swear those two are thick as thieves."
Maddy watched as the door swung wide and she glimpsed the multitude already filling the pews of the huge church. The lump grew.
As her mother closed the door, Madison tried to work a small breath around the boulder in her throat. Again, she peered at her reflection in the grand, full-length, brass mirror. Her pearl tiara matched the expensive necklace around her neck. The pearls sewn into her veil weighed a ton and caused her head toache. Her satin shoes pinched and hurt her feet. The long, full, meringue-looking dress had cost her father almost ten thousand dollars. Blinking, she stared at herself. She looked just like a porcelain doll. So elegant and pretty, but breakable.
Her heart picked up speed. She was actually marrying Edward Theodore Von Housen III in a matter of minutes. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she always knew this day would come, but why did it have to be today? It was too pretty outside to be stuck inside this church with the cream of society, exchanging wedding vows to a man who no longer held any reverence for her. Had he ever?
She thought hard, but not long. She knew the answer. She had gone out with him at her parents' behest. Since that day, their parents had become joined at the hip, or at least the hip pocket. It wasn't like she loved him, but marrying him was now expected. Edward had serious problems keeping his pants on at the country club and it had earned him the nickname Ready Teddy. He wasn't even her type. Their marriage though, was good for both her father's company and Edward Senior's.
Instead of the nervous fluttering a bride should feel, she swallowed hard against the anxiety that churned inside her stomach. Her breathing became ragged and she realized it wasn't nervousness at all that plagued her. It was dread.
"You look flushed, Maddy. Are you okay?"
"I don't think so."
Again she stared at the face of the porcelain doll in the mirror. Soon, the door would open and her father would come to escort her to Ready Teddy . Once more, she asked herself what she was doing. She watched as her friend Bethany furrowed her brows.
"Maddy, this isn't about Sophia, is it? I mean, that was two days ago and it was a bachelor party. Things get crazy at bachelor parties."
"It isn't the bachelor party, Beth."
"Good. Now turn around so I can adjust your veil. It's slipping."
Again, the young woman staring back from the reflection in the mirror seemed to be waiting for Maddy to do something about this situation.
But what?
"Beth, I don't think he ... will be faithful."
"Surely, once you two are married..."
As Maddy lifted a perfect eyebrow in incredulity, her features and the one in the reflection finally matched.
"My feet hurt!" Maddy's sudden outburst brought everyone's attention to the satin shoes that she kicked from her slender feet. Bethany giggled, however Teddy's sister actually flipped her cell phone shut with a disgusted flick of her wrist.
"What do you think you are doing?"
Maddy heard the demand for an explanation from her future sister-in-law and spun back toward the anorexic, aloof bitch. Never a golden hair out of place, Celeste was a carbon copy of Teddy and represented all too well the cold, self-serving world Maddy was about to join hands with.
"Need I remind you that you are about to walk down the aisle in front of everyone who is anyone in Calgary in an Alfred Sung gown? Your feet can bleed for all I care. You cannot walk down that aisle barefoot!"
"Oh, don't worry, Celeste. I won't be barefoot." Maddy whirled back to the low bench, spotting her well-worn but cherished cowboy boots.

Green tribunal reiterates apex court order in the wake of controversy over suspension of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) issued a restraint order against all sand mining activity being carried out across the country without environmental clearance. The order was passed in the light of the recent controversy surrounding the suspension of IAS officer posted as sub divisional magistrate (SDM) in Greater Noida in Gautam Buddh Nagar in Uttar Pradesh after she cracked down on the mining mafia. While passing the order, NGT reaffirmed the Supreme Court's order last year which banned any kind of mining of minor minerals, including sand, without environmental clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests.
A bench comprising justices Swatenter Kumar, U D Salvi, S N Hussain, and experts, D K Agarwal and Ranjan Chatterjee on Monday said that removal of minerals from river beds is posing a serious threat to the flow of rivers, survival of forests upon river banks and most seriously to the environment of river banks, especially those of the Yamuna, Ganga, Chambal, Gaumti and Revati rivers.
Order on bar association's plea
The order was given on a petition filed by the NGT Bar Association that stated that the violations committed in Uttar Pradesh has caused losses amounting to lakhs of crores of rupees to the state exchequer. The petitions describe in detail various reports by media on the suspension of Uttar Pradesh cadre IAS officer, Durga Shakti Nagpal, who along with the mining officials of the state geology department, cracked down the illegal mining of sand in and along the Yamuna and Hindon rivers. While stating that all the aspects are covered under Schedule 1 of NGT Act, 2010, the association appealed to the bench to curb illegal mining activity.
The NGT bench observed that "majority of persons carrying out mining activity of removing mineral from the river bed have no licence to extract sand; they also have not obtained clearance from MoEF/SEIAA at any stage in terms of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (EP Act, 1986) as well as Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) act, 1974."
For these reasons the bench ordered that it restrains any person, company, authority to carry out any mining activity or removal of sand, from river beds anywhere in the country without obtaining Environmental Clearance from Ministry of Environment Forests/SEIAA and licence from the competent authorities.

Children's LiteratureIn this latest addition to the "Baseball Card Adventure" series, Stosh and his washed-up, lonely coach, Flip Valentini, go back in time with a rare, E-Bay-auctioned baseball card and a borrowed radar gun to determine once and for all whether or not Satchel Paige was really the fastest pitcher who ever lived. Gutmann manages to weave together abundant sports action with all the excitement of time travel. This book includes a serious and disturbing look at the entrenched racial prejudice of the 1940s, when some of the greatest players in the history of baseball were confined to the Negro League and denied service in whites-only restaurants. Stosh witnesses the painful ugliness of racism close up, gives Flip a chance to do his life over again with success in both sports and love (best not to think about how these "Back to the Future" scenarios are even conceivable, let alone possible!), and learns that "some legends ought to stay legends and some mysteries ought to stay mysteries." A warmhearted, fast-paced story that works on multiple levels to engage and satisfy even reluctant readers. 2006, Amistad Press/HarperCollins, Ages 8 to 12.
—Claudia Mills, Ph.D.

First of the quality of the two suits they sent seem very good. They were shipped quickly. The problem is that I never got the suit that I ordered. the first suit that came I had to argue with the woman at returns to take back. Her comment was always something about it being a nice suit. I kept going back to it not being the correct style. When I insisted on getting what I had paid for she relented and I sent it back. the next suit was still nothing like what I had ordered, but I kept it… Read Full ReviewVisit mensusa.com

Previous month I visited my elder brother's house for a family reunion party where I found my brother wearing very splendid suit with nice fittings, comfortable fabric and elegant colors. I was just surprised because I wanted something like that but unfortunately I just missed it. Then after we had the dinner, I asked him where he bought the awesome collection. He replied MensUsa.

I browsed the net looking for some good quality suits and was impressed with the wide range and affordability of Mens USA. Living in Zambia, (South Central Africa) It is difficult to find an online seller that ships abroad. Mens USA offered that service, and I took it up. I chose my suits, sent my payments via Western Union, and the shipment was made within 24 hours.

Men USA has no respect for their customers at all. I purchased 9 suits from them for my wedding, paying over $1000. My suit for my bestman was too large and they refused to exchange the suit for another size. I specially made sure that before purchasing the suits I could exchange up until my wedding bc several people were traveling from out of town and wouldnt make it in until closer to the wedding date. I was told I could but that was a flat out LIE!!! I asked to speak with the owner and… Read Full ReviewVisit mensusa.com

My fiance' ordered his suit for our upcoming wedding from this place. After a week I asked him when it would be here and he realized that he had not heard from them. When he called he was told that they didn't have what he ordered. Why wouldn't you contact someone if you don't have their order? So, he picked another suit. When the order arrived we were stunned.

Denim suits are extremely cool. And, so I wanted to include a few stylish ones in my wardrobe. However, I was unable to find a store that sold stylish denim suits at a reasonable price. Moreover, getting a suit in my size can be quite challenging. So, I had to find a store that catered to all my requirements. When my friend recommended me the Mensusa store I was so relieved.

Entrepreneur in chief
An enterprising young man finds opportunity in vintage menswear
"It all started last year, when I was a vintage curator and seller," shares young entrepreneur Marvin Conanan. "The lack of online vintage menswear stores led me to create one."
This was the foundation of Conanan's business, and the rest is history. In an age when style seekers are easily converted into style setters, there is no other sound way of gaining ground than by venturing online. Such is the case of the 22-year-old De La Salle University marketing graduate, who never lost sight of imagination—tied to a single vision—and its vast potential. And so, naming his business came in a flash: "One night, I thought of the name 'Chief,' and everything just fell into place." Eventually, the dream turned into realization, when early this year Conanan finally saw himself building his brand concept, constructing his own showroom and designing his own vintage-inspired clothing line until the April release of his first ever collection titled Beach Pack, in time for summer.
Online Inspiration
Retracing Conanan's inspiration for Chief Clothing was not really a difficult task. A self-confessed 24/7 netizen, he credits his online exposure to his bottomless creative juices. Like any dynamic individual, Conanan stays on the lookout for whatever may shower him with newer ideas and concepts. "In my estimate, I believe I am exposed to over 500 online images every day." And like any other creative person, we are no strangers to a folder titled "Inspirations," which safely houses every morsel of idea and peg within the comforts of our desktop. In this age of social media, the next big idea might just hit you through a swish on your smart phone.
Not exactly a fan of trends, Conanan debunks the myth of bowing to seasonal shifts. He, however, wants his designs to remain "simple, well detailed, well constructed, classic and clean."
The fashion renegade in him remains powerful more than ever. Conanan strives to offer something different-one that customers will remember to wear and keep forever. Looking beyond, his holiday collection is under wraps and its launch has been set for November. So far, Chief Clothing has mastered seasonal focus.
Summer's Beach Pack collection brought to life tank tops and beach shorts. For fall, the brand has reinterpreted shirts and jackets in a bold new collection. Innovation is key—and dynamic—as Conanan could ever be.
"I'm trying to mix it up every season, hoping to put a new spin to your regular tees and jeans—as I provide more and more choices." And just like that, online shopping has just become more fashionably diverse.
Chief Clothing's showroom is at 1403 Apolinario St., Bangkal, Makati. Call 0917-5248812, e-mail at email@example.com, visit www.chiefclothing.com.

Ouija board
from D12 – American Psycho Lyrics on Genius
Generally, a "talking board" used to communicate with spirits; specifically, a trademarked talking board sold by Parker Brothers. Here, Eminem describes himself as a Ouija board due to his supernatural, otherworldly speech and flow. It also relates back to the general theme of his verse, which is that he's possessed by demons.

Summary: People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can be compassionate, caring, smart, and funny, but they are also prone to difficult emotional outbursts and self-destructive acts. Shari Manning helps overwhelmed loved ones understand why their spouse, adult child, or other family member acts they way they do and she shows how to respond constructively. These simple strategies can radically transform any troubled relationship. This "how to" book is highly recommended by BPDFamily.com
Stay Awake "Staying awake" means pay attention, being attentive, asking questions. At its most basic, all you really have to do is focus, listen and nod yes, lean forward.
It's critical not to be judgmental or dismissive about what the person has experienced - these will be taken as forms of criticism that you view something as "wrong" or "bad". A person with BPD can often see the changes in our faces when we have judgmental thoughts.
Accurate Reflection Accurate reflection requires you to communicate that you've heard the person. At its most basic, just repeat, verbatim, what the person said-- though it can be better to paraphrase so you don't sound like a parrot. This helps because it communicate to the person that what he is experiencing is universal enough for you "to get it" and that you are listening to what they are saying.
Stating the Unarticulated This is about demonstrating your active involvement in the discussion. It requires you to create a hypothesis about what you believe the person is not telling you. You can do this with a question or a supposition - ask if "__________" is accurate. This works especially when the person is dysregulated. You have to be willing to be wrong though, which shows that you haven't quite got it yet, so then ask more questions.
Validating in Terms of Personal History or Biology We are what's happened in our lives. On some level, all our actions make sense based on our history and experience. If you ever lived through a tornado, you would have a higher response to the warning sirens than others.
Letting a person know that their behavior makes sense based on their past experiences shows understanding. Our physical problems also impact (thus explain) how we behave. A person who has a bad back has difficulty sitting for long periods of time. Making reference to mitigating circumstances shows understanding and empathy.
Normalizing One of the most important things to communicate is that others would have the same response. People with BPD have the ongoing experience of being different - outsiders in their own worlds. When you normalize what they are feeling you find a way to communicate that what is going on for the person with BPD is the experience of being human, that anyone in the same situation could feel the same way. This is powerful. Some key phrases that can be used are:
According to Manning, there are really good reasons for changing your responses. The reason for validation is to dampen emotional arousal.

Kiratis mark Udhauli
KATHMANDU, DEC 21 - People belonging to the Kirat community celebrated Sakela Udhauli, a festival to mark the arrival of winter, on Tuesday.
People of Kirat descent such as the Rais, Limbus, Sunuwars and Yakhas celebrate this festival every year all across the country on the full moon day of the Nepali month of Mangsir.
Kirati people, dressed in their traditional attire, gather and perform the indigenous dance called the 'Sakela' to the beats of traditional Kirati drums.
The community in Kathmandu Valley gathered at a sports ground in Nakkhipot to mark the festival this year. The event was organised by the Kirat Rai Yayokha, Kirat Yakha Chumma, Sunuwar Sewa Sama and Kirat Yakthung Chumlung--all Kiranti organisations.
"This festival is directly linked to our cultural identity," Nabina Rai, a young reveller, said. "As youths, it is our duty to preserve and promote our culture."
According to Manjul Yakthumba, a Kirat culture expert, the etymological meaning of Udhauli--which is associated with birds and animals in upper parts of the hills migrating to the lower parts during the winter--is going down.
He said Udhauli is also celebrated to worship the nature and forefathers, thanking for the good harvest.
Prior to the Udhauli festival, the Kirat community celebrates Ubhauli on the full moon day of the Nepali month of Baisakh. In this festival, too, nature and ancestors are worshipped.
"While Ubhauli is a sowing festival, Udhauli is associated with the harvest," Yakthumba said.
The Limbu community celebrates Udhauli for three days. On the first day, they worship their ancestors and nature by offering grains from the first harvest. The second day is marked to atone one's past mistakes and reconcile with enemies, while on the third day a grand feast is held where family members, friends and relatives have fun.
People from the Rai community, meanwhile, celebrate the festival for nearly a month by holding different ceremonies.
The government recognised Udhauli and Ubhauli as national festivals in 2001 and has declared national holidays on these festivals since 2008.
Besides Nepal, Kirati people living in other parts of the world, including India, UK, Hong Kong, Australia and the US, also celebrate these festivals.

Allegro120 – why the sad faces? Surely sales are up for April if you've sold 32 in 1/2 month vs 43 for March? Did your sales pickup after being feature artist of the week?
Allegro120 – I'd say that's pretty damn good. Of course, amount of sales is all relative to each author. So cheer up, most of us will kill for 32 sales half way through the month.
I'm not complaining, just I bring the sales data, April and March. I think it is because of the licenses issued last month were higher. But the month is not over.
Awful, awful month, my friends!
"Your last sale was 10 days ago". Aarrrghhh

Real talk. Just 4 sales in April and now its fifth day without any sales
Things picked up yesterday for me – two sales after having none for 10 days. Two days in a day is a first for me so that's positive My latest track just came out, so I'm hoping that will convert to sales as well.
April started slow but then I was featured author for a week and sales where great. But now there's not much variation in the right top corner.
Create, create, create, upload, upload, upload, promote, promote, promote. Build that web! "The larger your web, the more flies you'll catch." Sales are NOT consistent all the time, and it is not guaranteed. It started out slow this month, then 4 sales yesterday for. It is what it is.

Thank you, unknown fellow, for cheering me up like this. I promise not to get mad anymore because of the sales (at least in written form : )) )
thesensercomplex saidWords of The Truth! I'm starting to notice that there is directly proportional connection between your uploading activity and your sales )

Kommersant newspaper: Tajikistan puts Russian military base rental fees at $250 million a year
Tajikistan says Russia is main partner, rejects foreign offers
DUSHANBE - Tajikistan's security forces said on July 24 they had launched a military operation in the remote eastern region of Gorno-Badakhshan against a former opposition warlord accused of killing a security services general at the weekend.
The operation, using helicopter gunships, appeared to be the largest of its kind in the volatile ex-Soviet nation, which borders Afghanistan and China, since late 2010, when troops hit rebel forces in a retaliatory attack in a nearby region.
Maj.-Gen. Abdullo Nazarov, head of the Gorno-Badakhshan branch of Tajikistan's State Committee on National Security (GKNB), was beaten to death on Saturday, July 21, by a group of people who stopped his car in a region neighbouring Afghanistan.
A source in Tajikistan's security services, who requested anonymity, told Reuters that a "special operation" was under way in the autonomous region, which lies in the Pamir mountains.
"Tolib Ayombekov, a former opposition warlord who now commands the Ishkashim detachment of border guards, is accused of the murder," the security source said.
The GKNB, successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said in a statement: "Ayombekov and his accomplices have declined to face justice".
Tajikistan, a mainly Muslim, Central Asian nation of 7.5 million, remains the poorest former Soviet republic 15 years after the end of 1992-97 civil war, in which the Moscow-backed secular government fought the Islamist opposition.
Tens of thousands were killed before a 1997 peace deal signed in Moscow, under which the opposition was entitled to a 30-percent quota in Tajikistan's state institutions.
"This murder was the last straw. The warlord, who has clean forgotten that the war ended 15 years ago, must be destroyed," the Tajik security officer said.
He said communications had been cut off in Khorog, the capital of Gorno-Badakhshan, around 500 km (310 miles) southeast of the capital Dushanbe.
A local resident of Khorog, with access to the Internet, told Reuters in an email that sporadic shooting could be heard from about 20 km (13 miles) away. Military helicopters were patrolling the area, he said.
Employees of international humanitarian bodies were evacuated to a safer location and local residents were told not to go to work on Tuesday, he said.
The Gorno-Badakhshan autonomous region, with a population of around 250,000, mainly supported the opposition during the civil war. Local attitudes toward Dushanbe remain chilly.
President Imomali Rakhmon's tenuous grip on the restive region is further weakened by drug trafficking and the smuggling of tobacco and other goods across the porous Afghan border.

|Ripple louse
|Topic Started: Mar 27 2011, 01:11 PM (472 Views)
|Mar 27 2011, 01:11 PM Post #1
Name: Ripple louse
Time: mid-late Carboniferous
Size: roughly 3cm long
Diet: Rope reed sap
Habitat: among rope reeds (in marshes and still or slow-moving freshwater); on Gondwana and from Central to southern Pangaea
Possibly distantly related to the arboreal sap mite, the ripple louse instead makes its home on top of the water. Like the water skaters of home earth, they rely on the surface tension of the water to slide across it and travel. Like their relatives they drink the sap of these plants, travelling across the water from rope reed stem to rope reed stem in order to do this. It is here when they are most vulnerable: harpoon mites attack these regularly on account of being easy to catch. However, the ripple louse has several survival strategies. Firstly, they climb up the rope reeds in order to lay their eggs en mass at the top, breeding asexually away from the predators below. Secondly, these eggs hatch in a swarm. These swarms turn the waters dark with their many bodies: ensuring that their are more than even the hungriest cephalostia or harpoon mite can eat. These swarms feed on what sap they can, breed and then slowly get picked off or die of fungal infection. Some do survive later than this, but they only have one other chance to breed again before they die of old age. Fortunately for the rope reeds, these swarms rarely do any harm, being unable to reach the majority of the plant below the water.
Unlike the hunter mite family and their relatives, which tend to look like a combination of an armoured annelid and a dragonfly nymph moving in an S-shaped pattern, the ripple louse is far closer to the basal sigmatatora, albeit with a more prominent shell.

Linux Mint KDE: How to change desktop background
How is it possible to change the desktop background in the KDE flavor of Linux Mint? I am having trouble. Is it even possible to change the KDE 4.3 background image? And what program would I use to do it?
Right click the desktop > Configure desktop ?
I figured it out: Right-click the desktop, and select "Desktop settings". From there, you can change the background and theme. Sorry for disturbing you, Smoker.
There is no where in this whole OS I can find to change the wallpaper. Not right clicking the desktop as said here not in system settings no where I have hunted.
Linux mint 17 KDE just installed and updated a few days ago.
The moderators frown on people re-opening old threads. The last post in this one was four years ago and the world of Linux Mint has moved on. I don't have Mint KDE so can't give you a specific. On the version of Mint I have, there is a section in a Control Center referred to as 'Appearance'. I would go to the K menu and start by looking for something like control center or system settings and checking the options there, that is after you start a new thread.
Wow. I thought it was good manners to use an existing thread instead of creating a new thread. Look I still have the problem. Can someone help? Do I need to take a picture to prove that it is not in the settings anywhere?
I just changed my desktop wallpaper, I right clicked on the desktop and selected folder settings.... and there it was..... hope this helps!

Whole Foods Market reports that it has implemented new responsible packaging guidelines for all body care and supplement suppliers. As part of the change, the company has switched to post-consumer recycled (PCR) content bottles for several of its store-brand supplements and body care products.
Irving Place Capital (IPC) is announcing that it has agreed to purchase Alpha Packaging (St. Louis, MO), a blow molder of plastic bottles and jars for the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and personal care markets. The transaction is expected to close in September of 2010.
Alpha Packaging manufactures plastic bottles and jars at five U.S. manufacturing facilities and has a new plant in the Netherlands. The company's Technigraph division provides container decorating services to personal care brands.
Kaufman Container (Cleveland, OH) is celebrating its 100th Year Anniversary. Starting off in 1910 as a small glass-recycling operation, the company has grown into a provider and decorator of glass, plastic, aluminum, and metal containers, tubes, closures, celon bands, and dispensing systems, offering custom molds and package development. It serves customers in personal care, household and industrial chemical, automotive, pet and vet, pharmaceutical, food, and beverage markets.
Reusable Containers
Bausch + Lomb has introduced transparent packaging for its renu fresh multipurpose lens care solution. Collaborating with Amcor Rigid Plastics and industrial design firm R&D/Leverage, B+L has replaced the traditional white HDPE bottle with a clear custom PET container. Reportedly driven by consumer demand for a transparent container, the launch could represent a paradigm shift in lens care packaging.
Anderson Packaging (Rockford, IL) has been recognized by the International Quality and Productivity Centre (IQPC) in its annual Process Excellence Awards competition. The company won the small-to-mid sized corporation category for the competition's Best Process Improvement in a Manufacturing Project, following the submission of a detailed summary of its Lean Six Sigma project optimizing the company's pharmaceutical bottle packaging lines. Anderson instituted its award winning Lean Six Sigma program companywide in 2004.
O.Berk Co., a full-service supplier and distributor of glass and plastic containers, closures, sprays, and pumps, reports that 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the company. O.Berk was established in Newark, NJ, in 1910 by Osias Berk. In 1925, the company was purchased by Isaac Goldstein, great grandfather of O.Berk's current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Marc M. Gaelen.
Bayer Healthcare (Morristown, NJ) has changed the packaging system for Bayer Aspirin and Aleve with a new oval-shaped bottle and user-friendly cap.
Launched into retail stores earlier in 2009, the packaging eliminates the carton, representing Bayer's first venture into cartonless products for analgesics and a first in the category.
The system features a new cap design with a soft-touch thermoplastic elastomer cover, and a raised logo grip on the bottle sides for helping consumers grip the package.
Innovative bottles and closures, based on proprietary designs and technologies, add value to pharmaceutical brands. New design trends are on the rise, such as senior-friendly packaging and smart packaging, while environmentally friendly initiatives keep products lightweight and contaminant free. Although crucial packaging decisions continue to be based heavily on the safety needs of patients and patient compliance, conservative regulatory and economic environments have presented some hurdles in the adoption and application of high-end trends.
Graham Packaging (York, PA) has produced a new standard PET bottle mold for antibacterial gels and sprays out of its Chalgrove Plant in the United Kingdom. The flat-sided 95-ml oval container has a 20 SP410 neck finish to suit either a flip top or pump spray closure.
The "Catch It, Bin It, Kill It" campaign in the United Kingdom aims to disrupt the spread of disease, such as influenza. One approach to reducing the risk of infection is to use antibacterial products.

HAMPTON -- George E. Wallace has been elected the mayor of Hampton.
Wallace was appointed interim mayor in October, after Mayor Molly Ward resigned to become special assistant to the president and deputy director for the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
Wallace beat out Frank J. Ottofaro, Jr. for the coveted special election seat.
'I have a track record of success. And I think it's because of [voters] sincerities and their beliefs that I want to continue to make Hampton the best city it can possibly be,' Wallace said.
Linda D. Curtis has been elected to replace his seat on the city council.
In the race for the school board seats, Joseph C. Kilgore claimed victory in the Chesapeake Bay District Seat A with more than three-fourths of the votes. Jason S. Samuels beat out his competition in the Hampton Roads District Seat A race.

NEW YORK (March 31, 2009) The overwhelming fan underdog in his last fight in Montreal, Canada--a controversial loss to Lucian Bute--30-year-old Librado Andrade is looking forward to the cheers that will undoubtedly rain down on him Saturday night from the boxing-crazed Bell Centre crowd. Andrade (27-2, 21 KOs) is ranked No. 3 in the International Boxing Federation super middleweight division and figures to be a favorite when he meets Ukrianes Vitali Tsypko (22-2, 12 KOs), who is ranked a notch above him at No. 2. The winner becomes the No. 1 contender and Butes mandatory challenger.
Saturdays elimination bout will air on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING live at a special time 10:45 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) to accommodate fans watching the conclusion of the 2009 NCAA® Mens Final Four®. The fight will take place before Timothy Bradley and Kendall Holt unify their respective World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) 140-pound titles.
The 12-round fights are co-promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, Bob Arums Top Rank, Inc., Thompson Boxing Promotions, Inc., and Gillett Entertainment Group. The Tsypko-Andrade bout is promoted in association with Sauerland Events and Golden Boy Promotions.
SHOWTIME: What do you know about your opponent Vitali Tsypko?
LIBRADO ANDRADE: The only thing I know and hope is that he doesnt run too much. If he doesnt run then Ill be OK. If I dont have to chase him all around the ring Ill be fine. My coach watches tape of all the fighters. I dont like to do it. I dont like to know too much. Its get into my head the weaknesses of my opponents and it can play tricks with your mind.
SHOWTIME: The Montreal fight fans are very knowledgeable and actually cheered for you when they showed you on the big screen at Lucian Butes last fight there. How did you become so big in Montreal?
LIBRADO ANDRADE: It started with my fight against Otis Grant in 2006 (a seventh-round TKO). I started training in Montreal before the holidays, came back, but have actually been back in Montreal since Jan. 17. Ive always just been welcomed there. There are boos at times but there are more cheers than there are boos. The fans there just want to see a good fight. They are not going to just go after the hometown fighter. They are such a good crowd. They seem to recognize me all the time whenever Im out in public.
SHOWTIME: Are you surprised you are fighting in Montreal and on SHOWTIME again?
LIBRADO ANDRADE: Im very, very surprised. I really thought we were going to fight in the Ukraine where Tsypko is from. I was prepared for that. Its just really a credit to my management team and my promoters at Golden Boy Promotions to get this fight there. Theyve really done a great job with me and given me an opportunity to really get my name out there.
SHOWTIME: You are from La Habra, Calif., near East Los Angeles and are signed with Golden Boy. Do you speak much with Oscar De La Hoya?
LIBRADO ANDRADE: We talk from time to time. Ive trained with him for about two months in the past. We have a good relationship. Its not like a buddy-buddy relationship. Hes real nice when I have to deal with him but as my promoter hes basically dealing with my management team.
SHOWTIME: Did it take a long time to get over your controversial loss to Bute?
LIBRADO ANDRADE: No, I got over it right away. I accepted it and moved on. They keep saying he made a mistake but I dont think he did. He fought a good fight. He was beating me the entire fight. I did come out feeling like a winner in that fight. I fought the way I wanted to fight and finished like I wanted to finish but I ran out of time. But I accepted it right away. I can only ask for one more chance to fight him and I think I will get it. I want to fight him to clear up this mess.
SHOWTIME: What are some things you like to do outside of the ring when youre not training or preparing for a fight?
LIBRADO ANDRADE: I like to just be at home and relax with my family. I just miss home so much. I think about it all the time. Im going to be moving back to California after this fight to where I started at the La Habra Boxing Club and I cant wait to get back on a normal schedule and routine like Im used to.

Montreal's capital works program: Planning for the futureOne way to see the difference between the capital-works program and the operating budget is to think of the difference between paying for groceries and paying the mortgage on a house. The capital-works program is the long-term borrowing that pays for the house purchase, while the operating budget is the bank account that pays for the groceries.
