Handcrafted chocolate confections have become increasingly popular and far more widely available in recent years. This could be partially due to the fact that techniques have been made easier with technological advances or simply that a major movement towards artisan foods is taking place. We would love to jump on the bandwagon and be able to create some one-of-a-kind pieces ourselves to impress our loved ones (and our tummy), so we've decided this cookbook entitled Chocolates and Confections: Formula, Theory, and Technique for the Artisan Confectioner is THE place to start. With over 140 different formulas, we've been creating a new intricate delicacy every weekend and inviting our girlfriends over for a treat! It's a win/win situation...

50 Announcements on Website Transition Project
By jimgris-Oracle on Oct 09, 2009
For the last few months I have been keeping track of all the Website Transition Project announcements. We just hit 50. I had to pull the list out from the front page of the Website Community (where we post our project management documentation) because it was just getting too long. In the announcements archive we link to suff like plan development, source and binary releases, testing, open evaluation/requirements processes, conference calls, implementation details, and various updates to systems. There have been more website announcements and discussions on a variety of lists, of course, but these are the key guys since since 2007. If links do not appear on that list then that means documents have been updated or replaced or the communication took place on a venue that does not offer links -- either direct email to users or to a private list. In those cases, I just document that the communication took place for transparency reasons. Nothing confidential was discussed in those communications. After we finish the move to XWiki on the 10/26, then we'll move into Phase 3 of the transition. I'll keep tracking.

A thought germinated in the year 2008 to cater to the increasing demand for lime products in Africa and has become a reality today.
Although we established ourselves just 2 years back, we have years of experience backed by our group NEELKANTH AFRICA LIMITED. The Group operations in Exports, Plastics, Steel products, Consumer electronics and Consumer goods are spread over Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Uganda, Zambia and Malawi.
Neelkanth Lime Limited is strategically located. We are about 6 kms away from Tanga City Centre, off Tanga – Mombasa road in North-East Tanzania. The area spreads over a gently sloping ground towards both the Sigi and Mkulumazi river basins. Tanga region is ideally suitable since it is surrounded by finest limestone mines .This gives us an added advantage for producing lime products of a higher quality and longer shelf-life.
Neelkanth Lime Plant is spread over 50 acres of land. We have various manufacturing divisions to produce quality lime and lime based products like QUICK LIME, AGGREGRATE LIME, HYDRATED LIME, CRUSHED LIME POWDER, AGRICULTURE LIME AND LIMESTONES.
The installed capacity in Tanga is for producing 200 MT QUICK LIME / DAY and 200 MT Hydrated Lime / Day which totals to 12,000 Tons of Lime per month and 144,000 tons per annum.
Neelkanth Lime has commissioned another Lime plant in Ndola, Zambia on 116 Hectares of land and the first phase of construction is over. The current capacity in the Ndola plant is 200 MT Quick Lime / Day and 75 MT Hydrated Lime / Day. By the end of 2013 the second phase of construction would be over and the capacity would match the Tanga installed capacity by then.
Neelkanth Lime Limited is managed under the able leadership of Directors who have been mentioned below.
Mr. Kumar Vinodrai Pujara
Mr. Rashid A. Hamoud
Mr. Vishnu R. Wadhawan
We have leased some of the best mines in the Region to provide consistent raw material supply. Our State of the art processing plant is managed by industry experts that include Senior Expats, Engineers, Technicians, Lab Scientists, Managers and a Skilled labour force.

A swimmer's death is topping news searches this evening after the University of Missouri has decided to boost its mental health programs for students in light of a young woman from Toronto committing suicide. It was 20-year-old Sasha Menu Courey who took her own life as a former student of the school; she had attended the college on a swimming scholarship. Yahoo! News reports this Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014, that "changes" are going to be made in the near future in the hopes of preventing such a tragedy from happening again. The president of the school addressed the difficult loss in an open statement this afternoon.
The swimmer's death occurred back in June of 2011. Sasha Menu Courey, age 20, was in a Boston psychiatric hospital only weeks after being formally diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Only two months prior to that, Menu Courey attempted a previous suicide attempt. Her second attempt at taking her life was tragically completed.
Menu Courey's parents, Mike and Lynn, have decided to pour all of their heartbreak at the loss of their daughter into a mental health foundation in the young woman's memory. Since their child's death, the devastated parents are also holding the University of Missouri partially responsible for her suicide.
According to the press release on the swimmer's death, 20-year-old Sasha said that she had been raped by a potential three football players back in 2010. However, neither the school nor the athletics program failed to adequately examine Sasha's case, and now her parents want justice for her memory. They hope the incident will encourage the school to save the lives of future victims.
"We just want to make sure that changes are made," her father, Mike, noted in a recent statement. "We need more than Band-Aids. We need a transformation."
University of Missouri officials have claimed that they didn't even know about the alleged rape until after Courey committed suicide well over a year letter. School authorities have also defended themselves from the Menu Courey parents' accusations, citing that their lack of detailed knowledge about the sexual assault, as well as no particular victims to interview, prevented them from taking action even had they known.
It was the University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe who provided a public statement about the young swimmer's death this morning, adding that his own daughter is a first-year college athlete, so he can only imagine the pain of the Menu Courey family since the 20-year-old's loss.
"One of our students is dead," he said. "And I don't want to feel that anymore."
"The school said in a statement Tuesday that a 2012 Columbia Daily Tribune article about Menu Courey's suicide briefly alluded to the alleged assault, but didn't meet the legal standard that the school 'reasonably should know about student-on-student harassment that creates a hostile environment.'"
Since then, concluded the report, the University of Missouri has taken "extensive" efforts to help reduce incidents of sexual violence, and also worked to boost their mental health programs and services to students. The school acknowledges that services were available at the time Sasha Menu Courey attended school, but they may not have been well provided for the troubled young woman and former swimmer back then.

Lohi's is considered to be one of the best and longest waves in Maldives. In order to control crowds and maintaining a dream surfing experience in the Maldives, Island resorts like Surfinn HudhuranFushi Surf Resort offer its surf break exclusively to their guests.
This wave is a consistent left hander that breaks in two sections over a coral reef, but, if the swell is big enough it can form a perfect very long wave that barrels across the reef right in front of the surf bar deck. Most of guests come to the Surf Bar deck to have a drink and appreciate the sunset surfing, it's a delightful show!
Maldives has some of the best waves in the world. Its waves roll perfectly over live shallow reefs and are not considered super powerful as swell normally doesn't reach higher than 2 or 2.5 meters. Surf in Maldives is famous for its warm water temperatures all year round, perfect barrels and long funny waves with amazing surrounding scenarios. No doubt the Maldives are the ideal surf trip for intermediate and advanced surfers.
There are some great surfing spots in the Maldives, but only a few are easily accessible from resorts, most of which are in the Male region. The best surf breaks are on the outer reefs on the southeast side of the atolls and most of the spots are very close to each other, so finding good surf is easy. Prepare yourself for surfing a few times a day at least.
Maldives is an archipelago with 1,192 islands with endless surf breaks, some of which are nameless and yet to be found especially in Central and South Atolls. Surfinn Surf Camps recommends to take a few days in Surfinn HudhuranFushi Surf Resort and then a week to tour the not crowded and mostly unknown surf spots in the south of the Maldives with Surfinn Khandi Hibaru Safari Boat.
The surfing season in the Maldives depends of each the Atoll, but most of the Archipelago is favourable for surfing from May to November, yet March and April are also good and have the best weather.
In between surf sessions or sometimes when the swell does not show up you will have the chance to do some extra activities like fishing, snorkelling, visit inhabited villages or rest at desert beaches.

My understanding of yoga is that no matter how much I resist, it works. What that means, exactly, I'm not quite sure, and I'm ok with that. All I need to know is that my before and after states are drastically altered. Even in those moments where nothing could be less appealing than dragging myself to the studio, I am always lighter and relieved of something after a class. I feel different physically of course, and I feel even more shifts elsewhere inside where calmness seems to gain momentum with each and every visit to downward dog. It feels as if it's a cumulative effect–no matter how long it's been since my last practice– I am always further along towards somewhere after every class.
This process has been at the forefront of my thoughts lately as I've been teaching two groups of second graders at the Moffet elementary school in Inglewood's low-income neighborhood. (in 2007, the average los angeles household income was $58,647. In Inglewood it was $40,110.) Last week, I saw two big stray pit bulls meandering around the neighborhood—one went right up onto school property while children were there! Across the street from the school, there are numerous cars up on bricks that look like they haven't worked in ages, bike parts and lots of trash in the streets. Every day when I arrive at the school, I compete for a parking spot with the local ice cream truck who sets up just feet away from the man with the bags of cotton candy in a rainbow of pinks and blues.
But, whatever. I grew up dirt poor my whole life, addicted to Cheetos and those ice cream cookie sandwiches with the chocolate chips around the edges. My mom got food stamps. We didn't have a car. I still shop at thrift stores and feel more comfortable living in diverse neighborhoods than some of the fancy places I've seen where people live in Los Angeles. And, I appreciate yoga. It's even possible that my harsh upbringing made the idea of yoga more accessible: a place that's perfect no matter where I'm at or what I'm doing. Please don't confuse this with an escape, I'm not running away, if anything, running closer towards the truth of who I am and where I came from. I don't feel like yoga has helped me to transcend or be in a position to judge how others live their lives. It just seems to illuminate my reality, which is of course, absolutely subjective and possibly even irrelevant. But I digress….
Our yoga practice space is in the cafeteria, which is also the auditorium. It's loud and bright and distracting in every possible way. Every day, the kids come in like sugarcoated freight trains lumbering onto their mats in fits of giggles, squeaks, shouts and gossips. I am the only one in the class not fluent in Spanish, except for Priya. She also speaks Hindi. Eventually, we come to sit somewhat tall and quiet and sip in deep breaths as if we're filling a glass of water—the bottom fills up first, then the middle, and then the very top of our lungs before we let it rush out in moans and sighs. The kids like this a lot, even if they don't quite understand it. I'm not sure I do either.
I begin each class with a question or two: Who practiced yoga since our last class? Anyone want to share anything at all? The answers are varied and non-sequitor, and that's precisely my goal. One student used breath to "calm down" after a fight with her mother. Another said they practiced the poses with their sister. Alejandro got a haircut (a mohawk!) Over the weekend. Javier had a birthday party. The check-in helps me to know where they are at and what are they thinking and feeling right now. Unlike teaching adults who choose to take a class, these kids have little control over their choices. I've come to understand that it's why they are so rambunctious and kind of crazy. It's theirs. They decide to do that within the parameters of their otherwise controlled lives. So we use this need for expression and we make monkey sounds and bear sounds and believe it or not, butterfly sounds (imagine the wings of a butterfly amplified through loudspeakers that make everything sound a bit like Mickey Mouse). We are all of these things and not one of them at the same time. It's exciting and silly and it feels right to be loud and then quiet and then loud again.
We roll out our necks. I ask everyone to close their eyes as I do, but I return from darkness to see forty wide eyes staring back at me. Well, maybe thirty-eight, Jennifer will no doubt teach yoga herself one day. We begin to move through some poses. We salute the sun and the warriors we all are, we balance like trees and eagles and seek stillness as mountains. Talking mountains. Giggling mountains. But mountains nonetheless.
On a number of occasions I've had to ask students to leave their candy with their backpacks. It's dangerous, I tell them, but I know we have two different definitions of what that warning means. Two of the children are severely overweight. One of them certainly weighs more than me yet stands only to my chest. It actually surprises me that more of the children aren't that heavy as I can hear the ice cream truck music in the distance.
I wonder a lot, probably too much, about these children. What's it like at home? How did Gabriella get that huge cut on her face? Why won't Christopher sit still for even one second? Is this behavior normal for children? Have I really not been one for so long that I can't remember?
The teachers don't seem to mind, or care. They are present during every class, but sit stoic, glued to their iPhones, grateful for the reprieve my 45 minutes gives them. How much different might the classes be if the teacher actually participated with us? Did my teachers ignore me this way?
Though we've only had twelve classes together, the students remember poses we've tried once. They demand them. They go into them without my instruction. They ooh and aah at their friends' attempts. I too marvel at the way an eight-year-old body can just fall into mandukasana (frog pose). We ribbitt and look for flies.
The three-week yoga course was designed to help these students with their upcoming state tests. Lennox schools have some of the lowest scores in California. In an illogical irony, the schools that test better receive more state funds. Those who don't perform well are essentially punished. Or rather, the children who are already challenged are now compromised even more if they fail to comprehend the tests they have not necessarily been properly assisted with understanding in the first place. The yoga program is a test program, designed to help the students remember ways to calm down, focus and perform better on their tests. The most unlikely scenario that's fantastic to imagine: a classroom full of students on test day who begin to "om" and breathe deeply as they try to recall the name of our last president.
Yoga has transformed and continues to alter my relationship to all things, most notably to myself, in ways i can't always understand. I've been a certified teacher for almost ten years. I've read the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras and committed myself to commit myself to this exploration–to better understand and feel that place within me that seems to never change. To be that person who sits in a room full of second graders and thinks "i I understand what you're going through, guys," even though, to them, I am just "Miss Jill," someone that might as well be one hundred years old, and from a planet where everyone is born as an adult. The nearly thirty years since I was in second grade is indeed a distance immeasurable.
Our last class was yesterday. I received dozens of hugs and questions and bittersweet goodbyes. At times I felt really sad. I wondered how long I will think about these children and how long they will think about me. Will they ever give yoga another thought? Will they remember what we practiced together? Will this actually help their test scores? I want to say that yoga works whether we want it to or not. Sort of like a medicine. But maybe that's just been my experience. Maybe yoga only works for me because I've wanted it to, or I was destined for it to. I just don't know. But I do know that yoga keeps reminding me that everything is perfect as it is, even when it seems like it's not. And for these kids, I hope that's true too.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A strong Chile earthquake today 2012 has struck Santiago. The Chile terremoto hoy Saturday March 24, 2012 struck in the predawn morning hours. Local news has yet to report any injures from today's Chile temblor. Today's quake, however, marks one of the strongest earthquakes to strike on-land, in Chile, this year.
Saturday morning, Chile residents were awaken by a strong earthquake. But unlike most Chile temblors, this one wasn't centered out to sea but on-land. In fact, today's Chile terremoto was just west of Santiago.

USGS reports to news that today's quake, however, had a moderate depth. Striking at forty-one miles below the earth's surface, the temblor did not have a wide impact across the region.
Today's quake struck at 3:28 am Saturday and was centered twenty-two miles southwest of Los Andres. USGS reports to news today today's Chile terremoto was only twenty-seven miles northwest of Santiago, forty-two miles east of Valparaiso, and just fifty-five miles northeast of San Antonio.
Local news reports, however, that a second quake struck the region moments ago (map above). Shortly before 9 am local time, a 4.5 magnitude quake struck in the Tarapaca region. It was felt in Peru's Tacna region, USGS reports to news, and could be felt east of Moquegua, Peru as well. No reports of damage have yet to be documented by local news.

Independence Day is the day we celebrate the birthday of the United States of America. Whether you call the day Independence Day or the 4th of July, celebrate our freedom with food, fun and fireworks.
According to History.com, Independence Day has been a federal holiday since 1941; however, July 4 has been an important day in our country since 1776, when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence to free the United States of America from Great Britain's rule.
As we commemorate the 238th birthday of our country on July 4, here are some fun and festive ways to celebrate Independence Day with your family.
Fly the flag over your house for the 4th of July. Teach your kids American flag facts. The 13 stripes stand for the 13 original colonies. The 50 stars stand for the 50 states. Although the colors of the flag didn't originally have a meaning, red has come to stand for valor, bravery and sacrifice; white for purity, innocence and peace; and blue for vigilance, perseverance and justice.
Celebrate our country's birthday by remembering those whose sacrifices provide us with the freedom to enjoy the day. Display framed photos of your family's heroes, both past and present. Visit a war memorial or veterans cemetery.
Participate in a community celebration of Independence Day. Watch a parade and salute the flag and the military members who are marching. Let the kids decorate their bikes with red, white and blue and have a neighborhood parade.
Enjoy patriotic music and a fireworks display. Take a road trip to Washington, D.C. to enjoy fireworks on the National Mall. Many communities hold fireworks displays in parks or after baseball games on the 4th of July.
Gather with family and friends for a July 4th cookout. Hamburgers and hot dogs are good choices for toddlers and younger kids even if you also serve barbecued chicken or steak.
Kids enjoy simple appetizers like cheese and crackers or chips and dip. Baked beans and potato salad are great side dishes for a cookout but younger kids may not eat them. Crock pot macaroni and cheese is one of our family's favorite cookout side dishes.
Fruit salad is always a winner with kids. Make rainbow fruit skewers using raspberries, oranges cut into sections, pineapple cut into wedges, kiwis cut into slices, blueberries, and red grapes.
To assemble the fruit skewers, thread the fruit onto the skewers in the "Roy G Biv" order of the rainbow. First put a raspberry onto the skewer, then an orange slice, then a pineapple wedge, then a kiwi slice, then a couple of blueberries, and end with red grapes to represent both the indigo and violet of the rainbow.
Make simple red, white and blue fruit skewers with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and marshmallows. Let the kids assemble these treats for all to enjoy.
Make individual jello cups with blue and red jello layered with cool whip for an easy patriotic dessert. Kids also enjoy sugar cookies with red or blue icing and red, white, and blue decorative sprinkles.
We always make a Fourth of July flag cake. Bake your favorite cake in a 13x9 pan. Using toothpicks, mark off the upper left hand corner to be the blue field of the flag. Use toothpicks to mark off 13 stripes.
Use food color to make part of your frosting blue and red. Do the white stripes first, using a flexible plastic knife to spread the frosting and follow with the red stripes. Use a small flag or the photo in this article for an example. Spread blue frosting in the upper left corner. Once the blue frosting has set, use white frosting on a toothpick to apply the stars.
Celebrate America's 238 years of freedom with your family. Remember the reason for the celebration and honor those whose sacrifices made us free and keep us free. Happy Independence Day to all.

Assume the following:
• $L\leq K$ .
• $\Gamma\in M_{K,L}$ is a $L$ rank ${ 0,1} $ matrix, without identical rows or the zeros row.
• $N\in M_{K,K}$ is a diagonal matrix, whose diagonal is a distribution: all entries are non-negative and $trace\left(N\right)=1$.
• $\Lambda\in M_{K,K}$ is a diagonal matrix, satisfying $\Lambda_{i,i}=\sum_{j=1}^{L}\Gamma_{i,j}$, or equivalently: $diag\left(\Lambda\right)=diag\left(\Gamma\Gamma^{T}\right)$.
$X=\Gamma^{T}N\Lambda^{-1}\Gamma\qquad=\sum_{i=1}^{K}N_{i,i}\Lambda_{i,i}^{-1}\{ (\Gamma[i,:])^{T}\Gamma[i,:]} $
$Y=\Gamma^{T}N\Gamma\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;=\sum_{i=1}^{K}N_{i,i}\{ (\Gamma[i,:])^{T}\Gamma[i,:]}$
$Z=\Gamma^{T}N\Lambda\Gamma\;\;\;\;\;\;=\sum_{i=1}^{K}N_{i,i}\Lambda_{i,i}\{ (\Gamma[i,:])^{T}\Gamma[i,:]\} $
I'm interested in showing that the expression $M=X-YZ^{-1}Y$ is small in some sense (under non-singularity assumption of all matrices noted).
Observations so far:
If $K=L$ then we get that $\Gamma$ is invertible and $M=0$.
$M$ is positive semidefinite.
Experiments showed so far that M greatly tends component wise to positive small values.
Has anyone seen something similar?, I'd like to find a tight bound on each entry of $M$, or even understand why it almost always ends up double non-negative.

Shirley Horn: My Funny Valentine
My Funny Valentine
Shirley Horn (vocals, piano)
I Remember Miles (Verve 314 557 199)
Shirley Horn (vocals, piano),
Charles Ables (electric bass), Steve Williams (drums).
Composed by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart.
Recorded: New York, December 1997
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
While Miles Davis tribute albums are legion, none is more heartfelt than Shirley Horn's I Remember Miles. Horn got one of her first big breaks from Davis in 1961, when the trumpeter insisted that the then-unknown singer open for him at the Village Vanguard. A Davis sketch of the two adorns the cover, and a vintage photo (presumably taken at the Vanguard) appears inside the package. One imagines that those images were in her mind, if not in the studio, as she made this album. Throughout, it's as if Horn is singing directly to her late friend and supporter. Her version of "My Funny Valentine" starts with a stark reading of the bridge before settling into her patented slow groove. As the performance grows in intensity, Horn makes us think about every word, and each melodic variation seems to emphasize the lyric. And when she reaches the word "stay," everything stops so she can make the most out of the last line, repeating it several times to bolster the final point. Perhaps that final word ("stay") was Shirley's wish that Miles— who'd passed away six years before—would never truly leave us.

From Exhibition: April 2010 - September 2011 A More Perfect Union
In 1921 Congress passed the first federally funded social welfare program, the Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Act. To reduce alarming rates of maternal and infant mortality, the act provided support to states for prenatal and infant health care. Women activists, using their newly won voting rights, urged Congress to pass the five-year program and renew it in 1926. But with challenges to its constitutionality in the Supreme Court and opposition from the American Medical Association, the act expired in 1929.
H.R. 12634, A bill to encourage instruction in the hygiene of maternity and infancy..., July 1, 1918

Executives at automakers often move between positions and sometimes between companies. Being placed in the senior role to negotiate with governmental agencies, including the United States Congress, is one of awesome responsibility. Apparently Bob Ferguson is that person.
Just a few days ago, General Motors made the announcement that well known Bob Ferguson was leaving his position as head of the Cadillac brand. He will assume his previous position as GM's top government lobbyist effective July 10, 2014. General Motors did not name a replacement to be in charge of the Cadillac division but said it would do so at a later date.
Ferguson will hold the position of Senior Vice President, Global Public Policy. He will be reporting directly to Mary Barra, the CEO for General Motors. Ferguson had been the head of Public Policy, generally known as the chief governmental lobbyist, from 2010 to 2012. In October 2012, he assumed the position as head of Cadillac. It had been widely anticipated that Ferguson would return to his former position due to his devoting so much effort in Washington on behalf of GM and the ignition switch recall situation.
In a prepared statement, Mary Barra commented, "We need Bob's leadership and full focus on rebuilding relationships and instilling confidence in GM's efforts to create a new industry standard for safety, As GM's voice in critical policy issues, Bob will communicate a clear sense of purpose and collaborative spirit."
Ferguson, who is 54 years old, previously spent 10 years as an executive with AT&T, then moved to Public Strategies, a communications and advisory firm. He left there in 2010 to work for General Motors. He will be responsible for all state, national, and international governmental relationship and public policy activities, according to an official GM press release.

Bridgeport Boy Scout, Nathan Brown, approached the Bridgeport City Council regarding the possibility to construct a fish cleaning station at the Bridgeport Marina Park for his Eagle Scout Project.
Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program. Since its introduction in more than 100 years ago, the Eagle Scout Rank has been earned by more than 2 million young men. Project requirements include earning 21 merit badges and demonstrating the Boy Scout Oath and law, service and leadership. Part of the requirement includes an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads and manages.
In the case with Nathan's proposed fish cleaning station, Bridgeport Mayor, Marilyn Lynn told KOZI that although the council has accepted the project with open arms, but is proving to be more of a hassle than Nathan had anticipated.
Bridgeport City Council will continue to work with Nathan on his project and will discuss the process more at their council meeting scheduled for tomorrow night, starting at 7 PM."CLICK HERE" for Audio

Implementing a Back-to-Rehab Day
This article discusses the process of planning and implementing an event during which former patients are invited to return to their acute inpatient rehabilitation facility to visit the treating team, provide information about their treatment satisfaction, participate in follow-up interviews, and measure the functional gains made since discharge. For staff members and former patients and their families, Back-to-Rehab Days are rewarding and educational experiences.
A 15-bed hospital-based unit in a major metropolitan area, part of a for-profit national healthcare chain, had only been open 2 years when a therapist suggested a Back-to-Rehab Day. The concept was presented to the leadership team, and the team decided to implement the program.
All stroke patients admitted during the past year (40 patients) were invited for a checkup with the rehabilitation team. Each patient's primary caregiver or spouse was also invited to attend. The patients were asked to schedule appointments and to expect to spend approximately 2 hours at the rehabilitation unit. Sixteen patients participated.
The medical history, physical records, and discharge summary for each patient who responded were retrieved, and the entire team reviewed the documents to prepare for the event. On the day of the event, the unit was set up with various stations where specific services would be offered.
Back-to-Rehab Day consisted of the following activities:
Before participants left, they were asked to complete an evaluation of Back-to-Rehab Day and add any suggestions for improvement. A patient-specific report was summarized and sent to each patient's primary physician, letting him or her know of the patient's functional status (Figure 1). An FIM follow-up score was added to the original FIM score, and this score was added to the medical record.
Data, including satisfaction, participation, and functional gains, were obtained from a convenience sample of former patients and were summarized in a comprehensive report (Figure 2). One limit of gathering data from this convenience sample is that results cannot be generalized to all stroke survivors. However, the comprehensive report identified information potentially relevant to other rehabilitation settings for long-term follow-up.
The program showed that functional gains had continued to improve among the 16 participants. In addition, community participation scores were high in this group, perhaps secondary to their ability to participate in this event.
A variety of referrals were made after the assessments were completed, and instructions about various topics, such as proper transfer techniques, were included as needed because most patients had brought a spouse or caregiver to the event with them.
All participants were very satisfied with this free service and enjoyed seeing the rehabilitation team again. They especially liked being able to ask questions and talk to healthcare professionals, including the physician. In addition, healthful snacks such as fruit and bottled water were available for participants while they waited to go to the next station.
It was decided the event should be hosted every year and may be expanded to twice a year as the number of patients continues to grow. For future events, it will be important to determine why so few patients initially participated. Given the small number of attendees, this program should be considered a pilot program.
It will also be necessary to determine how to cover the cost of the program if participation increases; this event was free to participants. The therapists included their time in the day's treatments, and the physician volunteered his time. The patients' primary physicians might be asked to assess their understanding of this event and of the value added to their patients' recovery and rehabilitation process.
Approximately 4 hours were required to visit with the 16 patients who participated in the event. Suggestions for improvement include coordinating the rotation from one station to the next more efficiently to avoid lines because some stations took longer to complete than others. Although volunteers helped direct patients, there were people waiting for the next station. Also, the strategic plan for next year must include a review of the documentation by the staff before the event to facilitate timely completion of forms.
In summary, the staff thoroughly enjoyed Back-to-Rehab Day, and they were rewarded for their efforts by seeing the gains achieved by their former patients and contributing to their continued rehabilitation success.

Bureaucratic Restructuring in Reforming China: A Redistribution of Political Power (Eai Occasional Paper)
Since the introduction of the Dengist reform in the late 1970s, the state bureaucracy in China has experienced four major restructurings, each of which entailed the redistribution of political power. According to the purpose and scale of reorganization, the restructuring of the State Council can be divided into two stages. At the first stage, covering the period 1982 to 1997, Deng Xiaoping and his executives, Zhao Ziyang and Li Peng, restructured part of the government administration in order to integrate market forces into the central-planning system. The integration was not smooth because of the struggles between reformers and conservatives, so the restructuring met with a backlash. After the Ninth National People's Congress in March 1998 the restructuring has entered a second stage, characterized by a radical retrenchment of government organizations and employees both at the central and local levels. In carrying this out, Zhu Rongji intends to relinquish government links with enterprises, thus pushing the "socialist market economy" further ahead.

UPVC window frames have been extensively used in Germany and the Scandinavian countries for more than 30 years with great success. They were introduced to the United Kingdom in 1982 but received a cold reception by skeptics. However, in 1984 uPVC started gaining acceptance and by 1986, it controlled approximately 60% of the new window market. In the United States of America in 2002, there were 34.2 million uPVC windows sold compared to 5.5 million aluminum and 19.8 million wood.
In the Philippines, it's never too late to grab hold of great innovations. It's a wonder why this hasn't been used as a primary material in our country.

Despite Microsoft's successful sales of Windows 7, the company has had a poor year in the mobile space.
Microsoft killed the KIN just a few weeks after the handsets started to ship. In the mean time, Windows Mobile has been steadily losing share to competitors Apple, Google, Nokia, and RIM.

The Seven Major Chakras
Part I - Study of the Chakras
"The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel. If we were able to see the chakras (as many psychics, in fact, do) we would observe a wheel of energy continuously revolving or rotating. Clairvoyants perceive chakras as colorful wheels or flowers with a hub in the center. The chakras begin at the base of the spine and finish at the top of the head. Though fixed in the central spinal column they are located on both the front and back of the body, and work through it.
Each chakra vibrates or rotates at a different speed. The root or first chakra rotates at the slowest speed, the crown or seventh chakra at the highest speed. Each chakra is stimulated by its own and complimentary color, and a range of gemstones for specific uses. The chakra colors are of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
The size and brightness of the wheels vary with individual development, physical condition, energy levels, disease, or stress.
If the chakras are not balanced, or if the energies are blocked, the basic life force will be slowed down. The individual may feel listless, tired, out of sorts, or depressed. Not only will physical bodily functions be affected so diseases may manifest, but the thought processes and the mind may also be affected. A negative attitude, fear, doubt, etc. may preoccupy the individual.
A constant balance between the chakras promotes health and a sense of well being. If the chakras are opened to much, a person could literally short circuit themselves with too much universal energy going through the body. If the chakras are closed, this does not allow for the universal energy to flow through them properly which may also lead to dis-ease.
Most of us react to unpleasant experiences by blocking our feeling and stopping a great deal of our natural energy flow. This affects the maturation and development of the chakras. Whenever a person blocks whatever experience he is having, he in turn blocks his chakras, which eventually become disfigured. When the chakras are functioning normally, each will be open, spinning clockwise to metabolize the particular energies needed from the universal energy field.
As already mentioned any imbalances that exist within any chakra may have profound effects upon either our physical or emotional bodies. We are able to use our quartz crystals and gemstones to re-balance all our chakric centers and once the chakra has been properly balanced then our body will gradually return to normal.
The reason why crystals and gemstones are wonderful and powerful healing tools are because of what science calls its piezoelectric effect. (You can see this effect in the modern quartz watches). Crystals and gemstones respond to the electricity that is coursing through our body, and if the energy is sluggish, the constant electrical vibrations of the stones will help to harmonize, balance, and stimulate these energies.
Studying the individual chakras begins with the root chakra, called Muladhara in Sanskrit. The root chakra is located at the base of the spine at the tailbone in back, and the pubic bone in front. This center holds the basic needs for survival, security and safety. The root chakra is powerfully related to our contact with the Earth Mother, providing us with the ability to be grounded into the earth plane. This is also the center of manifestation. When you are trying to make things happen in the material world, business or material possessions, the energy to succeed will come from the first chakra. If this chakra is blocked an individual may feel fearful, anxious, insecure and frustrated. Problems like obesity, anorexia nervosa, and knee troubles can occur. Root body parts include the hips, legs, lower back and sexual organs. The colors used for this chakra are red, brown and black. The gemstones are Garnet, Smoky Quartz, Obsidian, and Black Tourmaline.
NOTE: A man¹s sexual organs are located primarily in his first chakra, so male sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as physical. A women's sexual organs are located primarily in her second chakra, so female sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as emotional. Both chakras are associated with sexual energy
Second Chakra - Belly (Sacral)
The next chakra or second chakra is often referred to as the belly or (sacral). It is located two inches below the navel and is rooted into the spine. This center holds the basic needs for sexuality, creativity, intuition, and self-worth. This chakra is also about friendliness, creativity, and emotions. It governs peoples sense of self-worth, their confidence in their own creativity, and their ability to relate to others in an open and friendly way. It¹s influenced by how emotions were expressed or repressed in the family during childhood. Proper balance in this chakra means the ability to flow with emotions freely and to feel and reach out to others sexually or not. If this chakra is blocked a person may feel emotionally explosive, manipulative, obsessed with thoughts of sex or may lack energy. Physical problems may include, kidney weakness, stiff lower back, constipation, and muscle spasms. Belly body parts include sexual organs (women), kidneys, bladder, and large intestine. The main color used with this chakra is orange. The gemstones are Carnelian Agate, Orange Calcite and Tigers Eye.
The third chakra is referred to as the Solar Plexus. It is located two inches below the breastbone in the center behind the stomach. The third chakra is the center of personal power, the place of ego , of passions, impulses, anger and strength. It is also the center for astral travel and astral influences, receptivity of spirit guides and for psychic development. When the Third Chakra is out of balance you may lack confidence, be confused, worry about what others think, feel that others are controlling your life, and may be depressed. Physical problems may include digestive difficulties, liver problems, diabetes, nervous exhaustion, and food allergies. When balanced you may feel cheerful, outgoing, have self-respect, expressive, enjoy taking on new challenges, and have a strong sense of personal power.
The body parts for this chakra include the stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and small intestine. The main color for this chakra is yellow. The gemstones are Citrine, Topaz, and Yellow Calcite.
The fourth chakra is referred to as the heart chakra. It is located behind the breast bone in front and on the spine between the shoulder blades in back. This is the center for love, compassion and spirituality. This center directs one¹s ability to love themselves and others, to give and to receive love. This is also the chakra connecting body and mind with spirit. Almost everyone today has a hard, hurt, or broken heart, and it is no accident that heart disease is the number one killer in America today. Deep heart hurts can result in aura obstructions called heart scars. When these scars are released, they raise a lot of old pain, but free the heart for healing and new growth. When this chakra is out of balance you may feel sorry for yourself, paranoid, indecisive, afraid of letting go, afraid of getting hurt, or unworthy of love. Physical illnesses include heart attack, high blood pressure, insomnia, and difficult in breathing. When this chakra is balanced you may feel compassionate, friendly, empathetic, desire to nurture others and see the good in everyone. Body parts for the fourth chakra include heart, lungs, circulatory system, shoulders, and upper back. The main colors used are pink and green. The gemstones are Rose Quartz, Kunzite, and Watermelon tourmaline.
The fifth chakra is referred to as the Throat. It is located in the V of the collarbone at the lower neck and is the center of communication, sound, and expression of creativity via thought , speech, and writing. The possibility for change, transformation and healing are located here. The throat is where anger is stored and finally let go of. When this chakra is out of balance you may want to hold back, feel timid, be quiet, feel weak, or can¹t express your thoughts. Physical illnesses or ailments include, hyperthyroid, skin irritations, ear infections, sore throat, inflammations, and back pain. When this chakra is balanced you may feel balanced, centered, musically or artistically inspired, and may be a good speaker. Body parts for the fifth chakra are throat, neck, teeth, ears, and thyroid gland. The main color used is light blue. The gemstones are Aquamarine and Azurite.
The sixth chakra is referred to as the Third Eye. It is located above the physical eyes on the center of the forehead. This is the center for psychic ability, higher intuition, the energies of spirit and light. It also assists in the purification of negative tendencies and in the elimination of selfish attitudes. Through the power of the sixth chakra, you can receive guidance, channel, and tune into your Higher Self. When this chakra is not balanced you may feel non-assertive, afraid of success, or go the opposite way and be egotistical. Physical symptoms may include headaches, blurred vision, blindness, and eyestrain. When this chakra is balanced and open you are your own master with no fear of death, are not attached to material things, may experience telepathy, astral travel, and past lives. Sixth chakra body parts include the eyes, face, brain, lymphatic and endocrine system. The main colors are purple and dark blue. The gemstones are Amethyst, Sodalite, and Lapis Lazuli.
The seventh chakra is referred to as the Crown. It is located just behind the top of the skull. It is the center of spirituality, enlightenment, dynamic thought and energy. It allows for the inward flow of wisdom, and brings the gift of cosmic consciousness. This is also the center of connectedness with the Goddess (God), the place where life animates the physical body. The silver cord that connects the aura bodies extends from the crown. The soul comes into the body through the crown at birth and leaves from the crown at death. When this chakra is unbalanced there may be a constant sense of frustration, no spark of joy, and destructive feelings. Illnesses may include migraine headaches and depression. Balanced energy in this chakra may include the ability to open up to the Divine and total access to the unconscious and subconscious. The main colors for the crown are white and purple. The gemstones are Clear Quartz Crystal, Oregon Opal, and Amethyst.
Part II - Clearing and Cleansing Gemstones and Crystals
Sometimes a stone or crystal you are strongly drawn to doesn't feel good, or a stone that felt good previously doesn't¹t feel good now. The stone or crystal may need to be cleared. Clearing is necessary before using any stone for healing. The clearer the energy of a healing stone, the more powerful it is. Crystals and healing gemstones need to be cleared as soon as they are purchased as well as clearing after every healing. A cleared, ready crystal feels positive and bright, tingly and cold to the touch. A crystal that needs clearing may feel hot, heavy or drained. There are a number of ways to effectively clear crystals and gemstones.
Sea Salt
Sea salt is the most traditional purifying agent in psychic work and healing. It dispels any sort of dis-ease and negativity, and is a physical and psychic disinfectant.
I feel it is the most accepted and probably the most powerful method of clearing crystals and stones. I highly recommend it for the initial cleansing of a new healing stone and for any time a stone is overloaded with negative energy. Salt can be mixed with water or used dry. To use salt water, mix a tablespoon of sea salt in a glass or ceramic cup of cold water. Do not use plastic or metal containers. Place the stones in the solution and allow to soak overnight. To use dry salt, place the sea salt in a glass or non-plastic container and bury the crystals with the points facing downward into the salt. Again, leave overnight. Sometimes a stone may take longer to clear, especially if it has been used in a deep, intense healing. If this is the case, leave another day or two in the sea salt. When clearing gemstone necklaces it is best to use the dry sea salt method. Be sure to use sea salt only, table salt contains aluminum and other chemicals. For those who live by the ocean, salt water can be brought from the beach in a jar, or gently wash them directly in the ocean.
Moonlight is another way of clearing your gemstones. Simply place outside from the Full to the New Moon. Waning Moons are good times to clear crystals, to dispel old energies, but any time works. The amount of time used varies with the sensitivity of the healer and the amount of material from which the stone needs cleansing. Try hanging your gemstone necklaces in a tree where the moonlight can cleanse them. (I personally do not recommend ever placing your crystals and gemstones in the sunlight, many stones tend to fade their colors in the sun. Also internal fractures may cause your stone to crack or break if placed in the sun.)
Other Methods That Work Well
Burying your crystal in a cupful of dried herbs will also clear it. Suggested herbs for this are rose petals, sage, frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood. You can usually find these at low cost at many co-ops or herb stores. This is a gentle way to clear crystals, and a pleasant way, but it does take longer than sea salt.
Crystals may also be buried into the Earth. This is especially helpful when you feel deep cleansing is needed. Outdoors, simply dig a hole the size of your crystal into the Earth, place your crystal again point down, and cover with soil. The amount of time needed is personal choice. Be sure to place a Popsicle stick or some other marker to insure you fine your stone again!!! For apartment dwellers, use a flower pot to bury your stone in.
A quick way to cleanse your healing stones is to smudge them with burning cedar or sage. Smudging is an excellent way to make sure your stones are purified. Simply hold the burning sage or cedar stick while passing your stone through the smoke. I usually do this a couple times to ensure cleansing. I also like to cleanse my stones by smudging after every healing.
Finally, if you are in a hurry and feel that your crystal needs to be cleared, you can easily run them under cool tap water. Make sure the points are facing down the drain to run the negative energy right down the sink!!! NEVER USE WARM OR HOT WATER, THIS WILL FRACTURE OR BREAK YOUR CRYSTALS. Visualize the crystal as sparkly, tingly, cold, and belonging to the healer.
Part III - Programing Your Gemstones and Crystals
After you choose and clear your gemstone or crystal, it is a good idea to dedicate it or program it. The purpose of programming a crystal or gemstone is to focus its abilities on something you specifically need, thereby magnifying the stone's intent through your own. The purpose of dedicating the stone to a high level healing energy or Goddess (God) is to protect it from negative energy. A crystal or stone that is programmed and dedicated in these ways becomes much more powerful and useful as a tool. This is a very simple process.
Programming Your Gemstone
Hold the crystal or gemstone in your hand and sense its energy. With the stone being newly cleared, the energy will feel stronger and even more appealing that before.
As you sense this energy and appreciate it, ask quietly to be connected to the deva of the crystal or gemstone.
Though not animate, stones are living things and the deva of the piece is the stone's life-force energy.
Once you feel you have sensed what you can from the energy, think of what you will be using the stone for. Think of these uses, then quietly ask the gemstone if it is willing to act in the way you wish. The crystals energy may increase with a yes or seem to disappear with a no. If the stone accepts your intent, state in your mind that it be so.
Dedicating Your Gemstone
Once a stone is programmed, it will hold its intent until you or someone else reprograms it. To prevent any negative energy from attaching itself to your crystal you may wish to dedicate it.
Hold the crystal or gemstone in your hand and state clearly in your mind: "Only the most positive high-level energy may work through this healing tool."
Focus on your intent for awhile, then end your sensing (meditation) with "SO BE IT."
The stone is now dedicated.
You may also choose to dedicate your gemstone or crystal to a specific healing energy, for example, to a Goddess of healing. There are many healing goddesses, including Isis, Yemaya, Diana, and White Buffalo Calf Woman. For stones programmed for protection, Hecate or Kali are strong protection Goddesses.
Part IV - Laying On of Stones
The technique of using crystals and gemstones on the receiver's body for healing is called laying on of stones. It is a powerful method of cleansing negative energy, clearing and balancing the chakras, effecting emotional release, and bringing light and healing into all the aura bodies. Cleared, programmed, and dedicated stones move the receiver's vibration into alignment with the planet and the universal grid. This results in a freeing of life force energy in the chakras and aura, a healing of the Body of Light, and a transformation of negative or dis-ease into health.
Process of Laying On of Stones
The process may be done with clear quartz crystals only, colored gemstones only, or a combination of both.
The stones may be used alone or with a hands on healing (ie; Reiki). The stones are placed upon the receiver's body from feet to head. The healer then begins using her hands as usual starting at the head and moving toward the feet. (Use gemstones with colors matching each chakra's color. The stones can be in any form-faceted, raw, tumbled,eggs, or beads.) Energy in this type of healing needs to move in one direction through the body, either Earth to sky or sky to Earth. If the energy is Earth to sky, all the gemstones that have points are placed with the points turned towards the receiver¹s crown. The effect of this direction is to move the receiver's energy to a higher vibration or more spiritual level. If the direction is from sky to Earth, it is the opposite, with the crystals pointing toward the feet. This direction moves life force energy from crown to feet for grounding and rooting into Earth.
To begin, the receiver lies on her back on a padded floor or massage table, with pillows under her head and knees for comfort. The space should be quiet, comfortable, and warm. Use only stones that have been dedicated to positive energy and programmed for healing. Invite spirit guides and angels into the session if you wish.
Start by placing a clear quartz crystal above her head and below her feet. In the right hand place another crystal and in the left hand place a rose quartz gemstone. (my personal method). Then go chakra by chakra, moving from the feet to crown and placing the appropriate colored gemstone for each center. (Be sure you have your healing stones spread out where you can reach them easily.) There may be stones that you are drawn to for a particular reason, let yourself be guided, there are no real rules. You cannot do it wrong. A stone that is not needed for the session or is inappropriate for the receiver's energy will roll right off or roll to another place where it is better utilized. Allow this to occur. If the receiver feels uncomfortable with a particular stone, remove it, the energy is not right for her needs.
When the stones are all in place, the healer has two options. She (he) can go to the head and begin a hands on healing. Be sure to cover the stones with your hands carefully in order not to scatter the gemstones. While your hands are covering each chakra over the stone, visualize the bright color of the gemstone entering the chakra, making it appear bright, balanced, centered, and healthy. Do this visualization until you feel confident to move to the next chakra. Be sure to flick fingers to release any negative energy before going to the next center. End with a complete brushing of the aura.
The other option a healer has once the stones are placed is to sit beside the receiver and simply wait, allowing the gemstones and spirit guides to do the healing. As the receiver¹s chakras and aura absorb and are balanced by the crystal and gem energies, the stones begin to roll off one by one. When all the stones are off, or the receiver feels finished with those that remain, the healing is over.
End with a complete brushing of the aura and allow the receiver to lie quietly without the stones. Ask for feedback and discuss anything that you feel should be discussed. While she is doing this, the healer can gather up the stones from the table or floor and clear them again before putting them away. Put them into your protective box.
A laying on of stones healing can be quite intense. There is often a major energy shift during this type of healing. More frequent emotional releases, past life and this life trauma openings and other transformative events. The healers role in this is to wait for the release to end and to be entirely non-judgmental. After a session, there may also be a physical detoxification process that can continue for up to a week. Be aware of what is happening and again, allow it. The changes are always positive and are usually gentle."
From Kellie Jo Conn, GG
I also thought I'd add my own perspective about choosing and dedicating your stones.
I personally like working with the following stones the most, as each chakra receives a different color vibration with this selection:
1st Root Chakra ~ Garnet, Bloodstone, Hematite
2nd Sacral Chakra ~ Carnelian, Peach Moonstone
3rd Solar Plexus Chakra ~ Citrine, Tiger's Eye
4th Heart Chakra ~ Jade, Aventurine, Malachite, Rose Quartz
5th Throat Chakra ~ Aquamarine, Angelite
6th Third Eye Chakra ~ Labradorite, Lapiz Lazuli
7th Crown Chakra ~ Amethyst, Clear Quartz
You can also dedicate each stone your working with to the Archangel of their corresponding chakra / energy association, or call on the Archangels for healing each chakra. This is according to the "Angel Bible" by Hazel Raven:
1st Root Chakra (Ruby Red) ~ Archangel Uriel
2nd Sacral Chakra (Orange) ~ Archangel Gabriel
3rd Solar Plexus Chakra (Yellow) ~ Archangel Jophiel
4th Heart Chakra (Green) ~ Archangel Raphael
5th Throat Chakra (Blue) ~ Archangel Michael
6th Third Eye Chakra (Indigo) ~ Archangel Raziel
7th Crown Chakra (Violet) ~ Archangel Zadkiel
Archangel Chamuel is also associated with the Heart Chakra and corresponds to the Pink Ray (Rose Quartz energy)
Alternatively here is Archangel Chakra Prayer I found by Christina Lundien at creatormediator.com:
"This is a prayer that you can affirm as often as you want to connect with the energies of the Archangels and higher beings. There is one Archangel or Higher Being for each of the chakras. I always use this prayer during my own spiritual work and my group channels. The colors of the paragraphs correspond to the colors of the chakras.
I call on Archangel Michael to assist me in opening and maintaining my root chakra. Thank you Archangel Michael for helping me stay grounded in this world. I thank you, for helping me walk on the easy path of life, as I get closer to the fulfillment of my purpose. I thank you, Archangel Michael.
I call on Archangel Metatron to assist me in opening and maintaining my sacral chakra. Thank you Archangel Metatron for helping me recognize my physical and emotional needs. I call on you to assist me whenever I am out of balance. I thank you for reminding me to choose joy for each day of my life. I thank you, Archangel Metatron.
I call on Archangel Uriel to assist me in opening and maintaining my solar plexus chakra. Thank you Archangel Uriel for reminding me to use my power. I call on you to help me remember to breathe. I am asking for you to strengthen the connection to the Source of all life. Each day with your help I strive to keep fear out of my thoughts. I thank you that I now understand who I truly am. I thank you, Archangel Uriel.
I call on Archangel Raphael to assist me in opening and maintaining my heart chakra. Thank you Archangel Raphael for reminding me that the Source's love and light is a part of me as I am a part of Him. As I accept more of this love and light, I am filled to overflowing and choose to share that light with others. I call on you to assist me to heal and move past anything that is not of the highest light. I thank you,Archangel Raphael.
I call on Archangel Gabriel to assist me in opening and maintaining my throat chakra. Thank you Archangel Gabriel for reminding me to speak my truth and honor my needs. I call on you to help me know when to speak and when to listen. I choose now to see the truth, hear the truth, speak the truth, feel the truth.to be truth each day of my life. I thank you, Archangel Gabriel.
I call on the Shekhinah, the feminine face of the Source to assist me in opening and maintaining my brow chakra. Thank you Shekhinah for assisting me with gaining spiritual knowledge, intuition and growing in the strength of the power that is rightfully mine. I call on you to remind me that the people I meet each day have a specific purpose for their life also. I recognize they are a part of the Divine; which makes them a part of me, as we are all One. I thank you, Shekhinah.
I call on the Christ Light to assist me in opening and maintaining my crown chakra. Thank you Christ Light for this permanent connection of light flowing through me in a stronger way each day.
I now allow this light to heal every aspect of my soul. I call on you to remind me to share this bright light with others each day as I walk through my life. I recognize that I am always connected to the Source and choose to walk in that light more consciously. I thank you, Christ Light."
Certain Goddesses also corresponded well with each chakra / energy association:
1st Root Chakra (Ruby Red) ~ Kali, Pele, Artemis
2nd Sacral Chakra (Orange) ~ Aphrodite, Bast, Freya
3rd Solar Plexus Chakra (Yellow) ~ Brigid, Amaterasu
4th Heart Chakra (Emerald Green) ~ Kwan Yin, Tara
5th Throat Chakra (Blue) ~ Athena, Hina
6th Third Eye Chakra (Indigo) ~ Isis, Hecate
7th Crown Chakra (Violet or White) ~ Shakti, Shekinah, Sophia
~ Peace & Blessings

Get Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Nexus for just $99.99, Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX for $199.99
Two of the top Android smartphones of the moment have seen important discounts. They're both sold with Verizon contracts though, so you'll have to agree to Big Red becoming your carrier if you're to take advantage of either of these offers.
First off, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the latest 'pure Google' phone can now be had for just $99.99 with a new two-year contract. That pricing is in midrange phone territory, which makes buying a Galaxy Nexus now a no-brainer. Especially if you care about your Android smartphone getting all the updates first. This offer is available now at Amazon, for new customers.
Next up, we have the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX. This has only been available for a few hours, yet it's already seen its price cut by no less than $70. It can now be had at Wirefly for just $229.99 and Amazon for $199.99. You'll still need to sign a new two-year contract, but for a device being on the market less than a day, that's a great deal. And don't forget that the RAZR MAXX has a huge 3,300 mAh battery, which means it's in a league of its own when it comes to battery life, at least compared to other Android devices with LTE support.

Wearing Sandals in the Lab
I know that we at EH&S have mentioned this again and again, but it is CRITICAL that lab workers wear closed-toed shoes when in the lab. Now that we are in the midst of summer, we are still seeing many, many workers wearing sandals in the lab.
It is a simple thing to bring a pair of closed-toed shoes to your lab to wear at work, and you can change back to your sandals when you leave for the day.

My Son Will Not Live That Life
Ever since my five year old son was born I knew something was different about…
I have always wanted to have some published pieces of writing – mostly I thought of poetry – but lately I have been thinking of writing a book or a novel. I have so many ideas, and found that when brainstorming what I would write about I often tried to focus on motherhood, children and other family friendly type topics. Although I would love to write a family friend novel, my passion appears to be in romance or something that would be more of an adult label than a family friendly label.
I have always enjoyed writing, because it is my outlet. After having a bad day, an argument with a loved one or children who would not listen all day I can sit down and write, allowing my mind to become clear so I can move forward in a positive direction and start the next day off fresh. Writing is an amazing tool; it can help others, help yourself and make you money if you are good at it.
I have seen so many other bloggers who have written books as well as some of my Twitter friends. I am currently reading a couple of books from my Twitter friends, and hope to have the reviews written up for you soon. I love to support writers and I hope that once I finally have my novel written and find a publisher you will review my book on your website or blog.
It may take me years to write my book, but I hope it only takes a few months. I plan to record my thoughts when the idea is there and then listen to the audio so I can transcribe it in a Word document.
I can write a book, no problem, but promoting it, submitting it to publishers, trying to find a way to get it printed and accepted to go out for sale is where I am lost. I have been asking on Twitter but don't get much for a response. If you are reading this and have any tips please let me know. Also, if you are looking to write a book but have no time to write it please let me know. I would love to chat while I type and get your book typed up for your faster than maybe you have time for. I work with a contract so your piece of writing work would not be stolen, besides I have morals and would never steal someone else idea or work of art anyways.
Pingback: Brandy
I have the opposite problem. The publishing and promoting I have waiting but the writing just won't come to me. I know exactly what I'm SUPPOSED to be writing, but I can't get it started. I'm thinking of just starting in the middle and working my way to the beginning. Good luck, I can't wait to read yours!
Julie@Momspective's last blog post..Thursday Thirteen- 13 Of my Favorite Pictures of Ryan

Best of luck!
Perhaps the most important thing that first time novel writers need to know is that you have to be very patient. Writing a novel isn't a sprint; it's more like a marathon. You say you hope that you might get it done in a few months — and maybe you will — but you should probably expect it will take a couple of years.
As for learning more about the publishing side of things, you might start visiting the blogs of literary agents. Nathan Bransford's blog is probably the most widely read, but there are many others who can offer you some advice and insight.
J.M. Reep's last blog post..Jexbo vs. IndieReader
I have been planning to write this book on multilingual parenting but so far it is still in it's conceptual stage as I keep on getting sidetracked by work/ home and other stuff around the house.
Must really work on it.
Dominique's last blog post..Hello world!
First I want to say that J. M. Reep is correct. After being accepted by a publisher, if that's the route you take, it takes about 1 year for your book to publish and be released. After that, it's a lot of work keeping it going and promoting. BUT – it's worth every minute of your time spent. Follow your dream and don't give up on it.

Barmin's lunar base would be crewed by nine cosmonauts and consist of nine modules. These modules would have a length of 4.5 m during launch and transport on the moon. Once position in place on the surface of the moon and inflated with air, they would telescope out to 8.6 m length with a total floor area of 22.2 square meters. Power would be provided by nuclear reactors.
The nine modules would be pre-equipped in the factory for specialized functions: command module, laboratory/warehouse module, workshop module, midpoint module, medical/gymnasium module, galley module with dining room, and three living modules. A prototype of one of these modules was used in 1967 for a one-year closed-cycle living experiment at the IBMP (Institute for Bio-Medical Problems). Based on the results of this experiment it was planned that the units on the moon would have a false window, showing scenes of the Earth countryside that would change to correspond with the season back in Moscow. The exercise bicycle was equipped with a synchronized film projector, that allowed the cosmonaut to take a 'ride' out of Moscow with return. These psychological measures were felt important to maintain the crew's mental health.
Crew Size: 9.
Gross mass: 18,000 kg (39,000 lb).
Height: 8.60 m (28.20 ft).
Span: 3.30 m (10.80 ft).
