Home remedy for the numbness of the hands
Numbness in hands describes a loss of sensation in your hands or fingers. Numbness in hands is frequently caused by irritation or compression of a branch of a nerve traveling to the arms, hands or fingers. Numbness in hands may be accompanied by tingling, burning, weakness or at times sharp pain. If you experience hand numbness, seek advice from your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
Conditions that cause hand numbness varies from serious to benign---keeping hands in one position too long, neck and back injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetes, stroke, B12 deficiencies and multiple sclerosis, to name a few.
Here are some best home remedies for hand numbness:
* Treat hand numbness by making simple changes in every day life.
* Change sleeping positions to prevent hand numbness and don't keep the hand in similar position.
* Take breaks if you do repetitive events, like typing or cleaning, to prevent hand pain.
* Use a combination of hot and cold treatments for numb hands. Cold therapy reduces pain caused by hand numbness and heat relaxes hand muscles, -- use products like Icy Hot to create the same cold/heat sensation or purchase gloves from drug stores designed for treating hand pains.
* Simple forearm and hand exercises actually treat and prevent hand numbness.
More Causes
There are several things that may cause numbness in a hand. Left hand numbness could be caused by a stress motion disorder. Carpal tunnel syndrome, for instance, could cause numbness in an individual's left hand.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a widespread repetitive-stress motion disorder. It is caused by nerve compression and can be painful. With carpal tunnel syndrome, symptoms typically start gradually. At first, an affected individual can notice numbness and tingling in the hand. Eventually, symptoms move on to continuous pain, frequently leaving the numbness and tingling behind.
Another cause of hand numbness could be nerve damage or disease. In such cases, numbness is frequently connected with pain described as prickling pins-and-needles in the hand. Burning sensations are common with such conditions.
If numbness starts in the hand and moves to a different part of the body, it could be related to a circulatory, neurological, or muscle-related condition.
Without a doctor's examination, it is difficult to determine the cause of left hand numbness. Though you can have the symptoms of a specific illness or condition, the cause of left hand numbness could be something completely different from what you might expect. To protect your health, consult with a doctor to determine the cause of your prolonged numbness.

Jaspers, a 5-foot-11, 207-pound native of Thunder Bay, Ontario currently leads the Falcons in points with 42, goals with 19 and in power play goals with 10. He has also accumulated 38 penalty minutes. Jaspers was recalled on Saturday, January 28 and did not play Sunday at Washington.
Jaspers played in 48 games with Springfield in 2004-05 after being traded from the Utah Grizzlies. He scored 12 goals and recorded 17 assists after joining the Falcons. He had three assists with Utah through 11 games prior to the trade. He scored 57 goals and recorded 137 points in 251 career AHL games prior to the start of this season.
He has played in nine career NHL contests over three seasons (2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04), all with the Phoenix Coyotes. In those games he recorded one assist, six penalty minutes and four shots on goal.
The centerman was signed by the Lightning as a free agent on August 18, 2005. He was originally drafted by Phoenix in the third round, 71st overall, at the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.

A local radio station is having a Katy Perry contest. If you win, the ad for this contest says, you get to see Katy Perry perform "in the city of your choice."
So, if I win, she has to do a concert in Cranston, as opposed to in the capital city, if its the "city of my choice"? If not -- if I have to pick a city where she already plans to have a concert -- did the ad lie?
Or, am I supposed to have understood that what was said is not exactly what was meant, since it obviously came with unspoken caveats and qualifiers? It should be obvious that "restrictions apply."
Shouldn't folks have understood what President Obama meant when he said folks could keep their plans? He meant "as long as the plan continues to be offered."
Shouldn't folks have understood that he doesn't control the insurance companies, or whether they decide to adapt their plans to meet the requirements of the law and raise rates?
I say it wasn't a lie.

Pens Continue to Add Depth at Defense with Addition of Harrington
Saturday, 06.25.2011 / 1:32 PM ET / Features
By Sam Kasan
But the most critical position in need of continual stockpiling is defense, and the Penguins addressed that situation in the first two rounds of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft in St. Paul, MN.
In Round 1 on Friday, the team chose Portland blueliner Joseph Morrow with the 23rd-overall selection.
On Saturday in Round 2, the Penguins chose London Knights defenseman Scott Harrington with the 54th-overall pick.
"It feels great," Harrington said of his selection. "I'm still in shock right now, but to go to an organization like the Pittsburgh Penguins – I can't say enough good things about what they've done with their team and with their players, and I'm really excited being a part of their future."
Harrington, 18, is a solid defensive defenseman that is accountable in his own zone.
"I consider myself a very reliable defensive defenseman," Harrington said. "Someone who's tough to play against and who can be put out in all situations. I consider myself a good puck mover as well.
"The biggest thing that (the Penguins) asked me to work on was just getting quicker, and I think that's something that everyone needs to work on to get to the NHL. So I'd say that's the biggest thing I'm working on right now."
Harrington, who compared himself to NY Rangers blueliner Dan Girardi, isn't shy about playing a physical style of hockey – which isn't surprising considering his head coach in London is former NHL tough guy Dale Hunter.
"You look at Dale and Mark (Hunter) and the amount of penalty minutes those guys put up in the NHL, they've definitely taught us how to play the game right," Harrington said. "I don't mind the physical aspect. I just try to be a very reliable defenseman and hard to play against for the other team's top lines. If you're playing against the other team's top lines, you have to be physical in order to limit their scoring chances."
Last season in London, Harrington was paired with Penguins prospect Reid McNeill, who was Pittsburgh's sixth-round pick (170th overall) in the 2010 draft. Both players are expected to attend the Penguins prospect development camp in July.
"I'm sure I'll give him a call after I go home and after this weekend," Harrington said. "I'm sure he's really excited. He's a great guy and a great player also. He was my D partner this year, so it's pretty special for me to get drafted to the Penguins. He went through the process last year with the team and he had nothing but good things to say about it, so I'm really looking forward to it."
Harrington can start to look forward to a lot of things now that the draft process is over and he's found himself a home in the Penguins organization.
"It's a big relief," Harrington said of being drafted. "I'm still kind of shaking a little bit right now. It was kind of surreal when my name was called, but you know, it's been a long season. I've worked my whole life to get to this point, and I'm ecstatic to be drafted by the Penguins. It's such a great organization and it's a real weight off my shoulders right now."

LaToya Jackson has taken over the careers of Michael Jackson's children.
Michael's older sister has reportedly signed his three children -- Prince, Paris and Blanket -- to her talent agency Ja-Tail Enterprises which, funny enough, only consists of those three, according to the New York Post.
"They needed comfort with everyone showing their wild side, so they watched television together, they listened to music and they talked about what Mike would want. Mostly, it was Toya doing all the talking," a family insider told the Post.
Yes. It's clear that any reasonable parent would want LaToya Jackson in charge of their children.
Jackson got Prince his "ET" correspondent gig, his upcoming cameo on CW's "90210" (a show she herself appeared on), and Paris' movie deal. According to the Post, La Toya pockets 15 percent commission from each such deal.
The kids are also expected to be in the reality series, "Life with La Toya."

Live music returns for CC Club's super-secret anniversary party
SALLY HEDBERG | Updated 12/9/2013
Review: Good vibes abounded Friday and Saturday at the Uptown institution's first live shows in 38 years.
Curtiss A performs with Penny Royal at the CC Club's 80th anniversary party on Dec 6, 2013.
Leslie Plesser
To lend some context, 1975 marked a year when Gerald Ford ruled our nation, "Wheel of Fortune" saw its network television debut and "The Godfather: Part II" practically swept the Oscars. But on a local front, 1975 marked the last time that treasured dive bar the CC Tap hosted live music. That is until last Friday and Saturday, when live music returned for the club's 80th anniversary celebration.
The CC Tap eventually re-actualized into the CC Club, becoming a fixture for musicians and the creative subculture, capturing the ethos of Uptown one jukebox track at a time. Despite an ever-changing neighborhood, ownership shifts and the passing of time, that ethos has been preserved within the CC's dim walls. And that was precisely what enhanced the magic of the club's 80th birthday, marking a triumphant return to live music and a reassertion that the community surrounding the place is still pretty darn special.
Spoiler alert: The Replacements did not play and there was no Tom Arnold standup routine (though host Curtiss A gave him a run for his money).
Organizers/CC club employees Kim Laurent Lusk and Adeana Arnold were the only people with knowledge of the event's 12-band lineup. On Friday evening as they excitedly held together a sheer curtain in front of the stage—protecting their proud secret for just another minute— the anticipation in the room was palpable. Once the curtain opened, a diverse array of musicians took the wheel, and took a beer-stained room of happy people on a joy ride.
Hardcore Crayons kicked things off fast and loud to a still-filling room with their assaulting, bizzaro blend of prog-rock and dub. Their skill was well-suited to the makeshift CC stage and it helped set a tone that was almost on par with a basement show (in the best possible way).
Sean Anonymous offered an early change of perspective as the only hip-hop act, proving that his vein of quick-lipped wisdom and rousing beats could not only coexist with traditional "rock" acts, but even dare them to take it up a notch. His animated display of "Seat's Taken" had generations far removed from the young MC waving their hands in the air.
Personhurter, after warning the audience to "get ready for some soft rock," ushered in an audio attack and, additionally, another fresh musical perspective. The local metal trio are technical and speed wizards on their instruments and incredible to watch. A highlight of their set included a death-growled "Happy Birthday" to the CC Club.
Pennyroyal astounded with an inspired cover of the Replacements "Achin' to Be." This group doesn't get enough credit for their solid spin on understated '90s rock.
Red Daughters' are without a doubt quintessential PBR-rock and their gritty riffs and classic demeanor fared unsurprisingly perfect in a place like the CC. It was clearly a night of fun for the boys, and that sentiment was definitely shared. Shirts may or may not have become unbuttoned.
After much speculation on the smoking patio and the suspense-building comic relief from a lovingly buzzed Curtiss A, the headliner of night No. 1 was presented: Tapes 'n Tapes. The popular indie band hasn't played a show in a while, so, naturally, show-goers were thrilled, though also drunk enough not to care that the energy-level dropped following the intensity of Red Daughters.
Bethany Larson & the Bees Knees initiated night No. 2 with a starkly different presence than, well, anything else on the bill. Her mild-mannered demeanor eased the evening into gear. To be fair, it's awesome that the CC sought to represent a singer-songwriter on the lineup. It marks deliberate effort for musical equity.
Gay Witch Abortion melted with a set that marked one of the highest points of the two nights. The experimental noise/rock/genre-bending duo captivated live, seemingly possessed by their twisted instruments. GWA performed "Escape From New York" through deranged, Carpenter-esque noise.
The esteemed Mighty Mofos win the award for most heart. The band fought through mild forehead injuries and barreled through a raucous set of covers and the most authentic CC Club nostalgia. The image of Billy Batson's sweaty, blood-stained, nearly crazed face was one of the most memorable moments of the evening.
BNLX rock another Replacements cover with Ashley Ackerson singing lead in "I Don't Know," channeling the effortless cool of the generation that song was born from. Even thought they are of the present, this performance felt the most nostalgic.
Buildings carried in a second taste of pure, unaltered rock-battery to pleasantly counteract the more tame performance preceding them
Nearing the end, some people were still hanging on to a shred of hope that Paul Westerberg was going to emerge from behind the stage. And, of course, that hope was 100 percent dashed. Sex Rays closed out the affair in a sleazy, surf-rock display that continued to gain energy, ultimately leading to a party onstage - complete with Curtiss A and Joe Hastings.
In the end, the CC has a lot to celebrate. For one, the event created loads of conversation and anticipation even with no promotion of the bands. But secondly, the greater victory that needs to be acknowledged is that it united musicians from many local music scenes in a way that this city doesn't seek to do all that often. To see a band like Personhurter receive such deserved respect on a shared bill with Tapes 'n Tapes is both refreshing and a relief (hint: keep putting on live music)!

McGlynn and Scott grab silver (From Congleton Guardian)
McGlynn and Scott grab silver
10:30am Friday 31st August 2012 in © Press Association 2014
Britain's Aileen McGlynn and Helen Scott had to settle for Paralympic silver in the women's blind and visually impaired time-trial at the London 2012 velodrome as Australia won gold.
McGlynn and Scott clocked one minute 09.469 seconds, but Australia's Felicity Johnson and Stephanie Morton were last on the track and stole victory by 0.550secs in a Paralympic record of 1min 08.919secs.
It was the first time McGlynn has tasted Paralympic defeat in the event after the 39-year-old from Glasgow won gold in Athens and Beijing with Ellen Hunter as pilot.
McGlynn and Scott finished second to the Australian pair at the World Championships earlier this year and were runners-up once more.
New Zealand's Phillipa Gray and Laura Thompson claimed bronze in 1:11.245, with Britain's Lora Turnham and Fiona Duncan fourth in 1:11.479.
Mark Colbourne qualified fastest in the men's C1 individual pursuit in a world record of 3:53.970.
Colbourne finished second to Li Zhang Yu in the C1-2-3 one-kilometre time-trial on day one and watched the Chinese rider set a world record of 4:00.235 in 3km pursuit qualifying before improving the mark himself.
The 42-year-old Welshman was set to meet Li in the race for gold on Friday afternoon.
In the men's C3 3km individual pursuit, 2008 champion Darren Kenny can win bronze at best after qualifying in 3:37.977, but team-mate Shaun McKeown reached the gold medal ride-off.
McKeown was one of three riders to dip beneath Kenny's world record set in Beijing, advancing in second place in 3:36.427. Joseph Berenyi of the United States set a world record of 3:36.148 in the first heat and will meet McKeown in the final.

Neighborhood: Atwater Village, an "up and coming," formerly industrial area tucked into L.A.'s mountainous East Side
Hook: Incarnated in a loft-like masonry building with giant wood tresses, this hip mecca serves as the East Side's first (and only) full-service day spa.
Not many years ago, interior designer Cary Mock and his partner Kenneth King had to sate their frequent spa cravings by making arduous treks through L.A.'s notorious traffic to West Hollywood or Pasadena from their home base in Atwater Village. Atwater, a tightknit East Side enclave, had long been beloved by grungy rockers, starving artists and other variations on the "modern hipster" theme, yet was woefully lacking in the wellness department. "We thought it was crazy that there was nothing here yet," recalls Mock.
So, he set to scouting neighborhood locations for his dream spa—eventually realized in Dtox's calming-yet-upscale, eco-friendly oasis. King, an entrepreneur, enrolled in massage school, and both men took a small business management class to ensure they were conducting proper market research and planning appropriately. Meanwhile, the couple's loved ones were dubious.
"Everyone said we were crazy, that there was no demographic for a spa here," Mock says, "when in actuality, young professionals, maturing hipsters and industry folk were all starting to buy homes here. Plus, Angelenos love the possibility of not having to drive far."
Mock had a point. By the time Dtox opened its doors on Los Feliz Boulevard, buzz was strong, thanks to jumbo street banners, local press attention and plenty of community support. As Mock and King prepped their warehouse space prior to Dtox's grand opening, curious passers-by and prospective staffers were popping in off the street. "Everybody around here knows their neighbors—they're all out walking their dogs—and take pride in local mom-and-pop businesses," Mock says. "Plus, there turned out to be plenty of talented East Side therapists who were thrilled to not have to drive in to Beverly Hills to work."
Excitement mounted once locals were able to actually experience Dtox's contemporary, minimalist Asian design—a giant Buddha and double waterfall set the tone—and its organic facials, body treatments and massages. Mock fashioned the spa's singularly hip boutique ambiance on a shoestring budget, but wisely brought in an experienced spa consultant to function as spa director and handle training and menu development.
Trial-and-error was the name of the game during Dtox's early months. "At first we spent a lot on print ads, but soon discovered our best outlet was search engines," Mock says. "So we had therapists hand out business cards requesting positive Yelp reviews from happy clients."
Mock believes that a dedication to service, plus his and King's luck in having established a loyal base clientele prior to the recession, helped Dtox weather the harsh economic storm. Other savvy business tactics included paring down the menu—"spray tanning and nail services created a noise factor we weren't happy about"—and finding creative ways to cater to their young, happening guests. Happy Hour Fridays, a monthly evening event at which $39 gets guests into a DJ'd party at the spa, complete with organic wine and hors' d'ouvres, a 20-minute service of their choice, and opportunities to mingle with fellow spa aficionados and Dtox's cool-as-they-come staffers, has been a hit. "Once we get people in, they tend to think, 'Wow, what a great space,' and often end up coming back for full treatments," Mock says. (Full disclosure: I attended one such event and was amazed by the level of party Dtox managed to foster—let's just say it was way more OMG than om.)
This community spirit is still central to Dtox's ongoing marketing efforts. "We're very involved in all surrounding neighborhood business chambers, maintain presence at local street fairs, operate school donations and give tons of services to private auctions," Mock says. "PTAs love us because they can always count on a donation. If you can get moms talking, they'll be your best marketing tools." To serve increasing numbers of guests driving in from the predominantly suburban San Fernando Valley, Mock and King went out on a limb in 2010 by purchasing a second space some 15 miles west in Encino!
"The opportunity arose after the recession," Mock says. "We always had the idea of a second location on the back burner, and this location was just far enough away that it wouldn't affect our demographic in Atwater. When the space became available, we jumped at it."
After seven years' worth of elbow grease, Mock and King can now focus on the big Dtox picture. They've hired a marketing specialist, and no longer "wear 10 hats" to run their business. "It has been a great and growing experience," Mock reflects, "but it's nice to finally be able to step back and focus on staying true to our original business model: a low-key yet funky oasis to serve the fun-loving, if a little offbeat, spa-goer." —Katie O'Reilly

Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — A federal report that says exporting liquefied natural gas will drive up domestic energy prices is adding more fuel to the debate over building LNG terminals in Oregon.
A U.S. Energy Information Administration report says natural gas exports could amount to nearly one-fifth of daily U.S. demand, and that would drive up domestic energy prices significantly.
"Even while consuming less, on average, consumers will see an increase in their natural gas and electricity expenditures," the report said, according to The Oregonian (http://bit.ly/zGPOf0).
The report estimates that from 2015 to 2035, on average, residential, commercial and industrial consumers would pay 3 percent to 9 percent more for gas, and 1 percent to 3 percent more for electricity.
Oregon has two LNG proposals, one in Coos Bay, and the other in Warrenton. They started out as import terminals, but with burgeoning supplies in the United States, they hope to switch to export outlets.
The U.S. Department of Energy has received applications to export as much as 12.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day — about 19 percent of daily U.S. demand. It approved an application last year by Cheniere Energy Inc. to convert an import facility in Louisiana to export gas. But it delayed other decisions until it could study the price impacts of boosting exports.
"There are huge environmental concerns about LNG in Oregon and the price impacts of exporting natural gas add a whole new dimension, from farmers worried about fertilizer prices, to manufacturers, to people paying their heating bills," said Brett VandenHeuvel, executive director of the conservation group, Columbia Riverkeeper. "We have serious energy security issues in America, and exporting one of our cheapest sources is just foolish."
Bob Braddock, the project manager of the Jordan Cove LNG project in Coos Bay, said the focus of the report appeared to be the Gulf Coast, and regional supply disparities were not taken into account.
Jordan Cove has contracted studies on regional economic impacts as part of a formal export application it hopes to submit to regulators late next month.

Letters: The Californian, Feb. 18, 2013
Purposely trying
to mislead public
A recent letter by William Hidalgo is incorrect and inflammatory ("Napolitano and guns, Feb. 7). The phrase "armor piercing" is just a form of stupidity that makes the general public wary of firearms.
"Armor piercing" ammunition is not available to the public. I suspect that Mr. Hidalgo knows that, but by adding this term to his letter, he hoped to enlist more ignorant people to turn against the Second Amendment.
If Dianne Feinstein's bill passes the Congress, I believe this country will end up with confiscation of all firearms. Emperor Obama will then be able to run America without the Congress, but that group is not smart enough to realize this fact.
Robert Mead
Two different beasts
Perpetrators of violent crime and perpetrators of mass killings are two different beasts.
David Kopel, research director of the Independence Institute, wrote an article in the Dec. 7, 2012, Wall Street Journal (http://utsd.us/XTk4B9), citing a simultaneous decrease in violent crime and increase in mass killings in the U.S. over the last few decades. He believes mass killers, or "active shooters," are mentally ill.
Dr. David Healy, in a recent World Net Daily article (http://utsd.us/12x0IYd) stated roughly 90 percent of the people committing the recent mass killings were prescribed psychotropic drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. These are prescribed as antidepressants, and they cause violent behavior in school-aged children.
The perpetrators of violent crime and mass killings are two different beasts and America needs different control mechanisms for each. Specifically, we know more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens combined with an increase in concealed-carry permit holders reduces violent crime. The task at hand is to reduce the number of mass killings without causing an increase in violent crime — i.e., taking guns from law-abiding citizens — and violating the Second Amendment.

Editor's Note: This is part of a series of posts from WCBias.com guest contributors. Interested in writing a post for WCBias.com? Contact us.
By Erick Smith
Talk has been circulating for years about when, where and why the San Diego Chargers should leave Qualcomm Stadium for a new high-tech home.
The good news is that after searching all over San Diego County it appears the only workable plot of land is a small parcel just blocks East from PETCO Park. The bad news is that means the Chargers have to worry about dealing with the City of San Diego.
It was a struggle and a drawn-out hassle to get PETCO built and sadly if this 10-acre location is truly the Chargers only viable option I'd expect much of the same.
The stadium topic once again surfaced after the Chargers released their downtown stadium plan on Thursday. Included was an artist's rendering of the 62,000-seat stadium and some important financial figures, mainly the expected cost of $800 million divided between the Chargers, NFL and City of San Diego.
Breaking down the financials reveals the expectation the city will be on the hook for $500 million in the form of bonds, the Chargers for $200 and the NFL for $100.
Before screaming foul consider the city currently assumes an annual loss of $17 million to operate Qualcomm Stadium. Not to mention the large sum of cash the eventually vacant 60-acre Mission Valley site is worth.
So far it sounds like a solid deal for everybody involved.
The San Diego City Council has proven to be rather inept at handling even the simplest of tasks, but this needs to be something it does not screw up. This is leaving the voters out of it, who I believe have enough sense to push this project through.
Still failing to see the positives of the project? Look a few blocks west and see the glorious site of PETCO.
This section of downtown was a disaster. PETCO revitalized the area and created a building boom throughout the area. The same should hold true the second time around.
From a football standpoint, San Diego will once again be in the Super Bowl circuit since the NFL has made it painfully clear it considers city climate and stadium luxury when determining a site. The Super Bowl belongs in San Diego – I know it and the NFL knows it.
Oh I nearly forgot priority No. 1 for getting the stadium built – it will keep the Chargers in San Diego. If this plan falls through the Chargers will bolt for greener pastures (L.A. maybe?) and the 3 million-plus of us who live down here will be left with one professional sports team.
So do the right thing San Diego, build this 62,000-seat, $800 million stadium.

Climate Change A Challenge to the Church in South Africa - August 2009
Updated - Final version of the climate change document available to download (PDF file 564kb)
Please endorse the document, by completing the endorsment form.
A conference on climate change held in November 2007 at UWC identified the need for a document which would frame and inform a church response to the challenges posed by climate change in the South African context. Initially, this was taken up by a sub-committee of the South African Faith Communities' Environment Institute (SAFCEI). In April 2008 it requested the South African Council of Churches (SACC) to accept ownership of the drafting process. In March 2009 a Climate Change Committee of the SACC (WC) was formed to develop resources for the church in South African to respond appropriately with regard to issues of climate change. The committee was located in the Western Cape only for administrative purposes since it liased from the beginning with ecumenical structures elsewhere in the country. The committee decided that one such resource would be this document. It also recognised the need for a range of other resources (including liturgical material, Bible study material, hymns, material for discussion, suggestions for a practical response, a short summary etc) - for which this document would serve as a theological basis.

Natalie "Alabama" Chanin is owner and designer of the American couture line ALABAMA CHANIN and author of Alabama Stitch Book and Alabama Studio Style. Her designs for hand-sewn garments constructed using quilting and stitching techniques from the rural south have been lauded for both their beauty and sustainability. Made from 100% Certified Organic Cotton combined with up-cycled and re-purposed materials by artisans located near Natalie's home in Florence, Alabama, her designs have earned accolades from peers as a finalist from the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award for Fashion in 2005. In 2005 and 2009, Natalie was chosen as one of the Finalists for the CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund and her work is now on showcase in the 2010 Cooper Hewitt Global Triennial.
The fourth exhibition in the Cooper-Hewitt Museum's National Design Triennial series in "Why Design Now?" is currently on view (through Jan. 9, 2011), and explores the work of designers addressing human and environmental problems across many fields of design from architecture and product design to fashion, graphics, new media and landscape design. The exhibition title asks the question "Why Design Now?" to examine why design thinking is an essential tool for solving some of today's most urgent problems; what draws creative thinkers, makers and problem solvers to this crucial field of discovery; and why business leaders, policy makers, consumers and citizens should embrace design values. Key developments across design disciplines are presented through eight themes: energy, mobility, community, materials, prosperity, health, communication and simplicity.
Natalie's designs are on display under the prosperity section; progressive designers and entrepreneurs are building engines of prosperity that enable local communities to use their own resources to create their own wealth, as well as to participate in the global economy. Natalie's handmade designs are used as examples of slow design.
Natalie's work in the fashion industry began in the year 1988 in the New York City fashion district working in the Junior Sportswear industry. From New York, Natalie moved to Europe in 1990 where she worked for ten years as a stylist and costume designer for film and photography.
However, Natalie's life work began in the year 2000 with the invention of Project Alabama. Natalie returned to her home in Florence, Alabama to produce a collection of 200 one-of-a-kind, up-cycled t-shirts, along with the 22 minute documentary film "Stitch" – about old-time quilting circles in her community. Project Alabama grew quickly and became a full collection fashion company, added business partners, lost business partners, all the while earning respect from editors and stores around the world.
In the year 2006, Project Alabama ceased operations in the state of Alabama. Rather than choosing to outsource, Natalie made the decision to adhere to the original mission of Project Alabama and launched Alabama Chanin where she continues to create limited-edition, rendered-by-hand, jewelry, clothing, home furnishing and textiles using a mixture of organic and recycled materials with local talent.

Making Referrals Work!
Start by saying…
I want you to listen to a step-by-step process that many of you will be familiar with.
· You have just heard something that sounded like a need for a referral.
· Someone has said or done something that triggers a memory hook, visual, or conversation starter of one of the members of the chapter.
· You go through the normal steps of listening, asking, clarifying, building credibility and seeking permission to refer them.
· Finally you are ready to pass on the details of the member to the referral, get their card, and move on.
Can anyone tell me one more step that may make this referral even better?
Seek responses, repeat a few, and then say…
The next step that can bring so much more value with a referral is to ask the referral whether they would like to meet the member in person.
In many instances, the referral is a potential member of your chapter.
If they are in business, they are at least a potential member of BNI. At best, they are a potential member of your chapter.
Yet many of us overlook the very people who are suited for BNI as potential members, and they fall into two basic categories:
1. The referral that has yet to experience the service/product of your member but is impressed with the amount of effort you have just gone to assisting them with solving the problem they have.
2. The referral who is already satisfied with the work done by one of your members as a result of an initial contact.
Both of these people already know something about BNI and its reputation, credibility and professionalism. They have just seen it in action.
Who better to invite to a BNI meeting than one of these people?
Many times we at BNI hear members say that they have invited everyone they know. While this is rarely true, the same person is also giving out regular referrals each week.
The next time you find a referral for a member, mark that person down as a potential guest.
They can be invited at the time you are asking how you can help them or you could make a note to ask them later after they have experienced great service from one of your members.
Just don't overlook them totally.

CHEROKEE - The Cherokee Indian outdoor drama Unto These Hills closed its 2008 season after a Saturday performance in an open-air mountain theater in southwestern North Carolina.
The drama's 2008 run began in June and is sponsored by the Cherokee Historical Association.
The show made its debut July 1, 1950, and has been performed each summer since then.
Kermit Hunter was a non-Indian and student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when he wrote the original version of the play. The association said an updated version was first performed last year that used the tribe's own history and included a majority of Cherokee actors.
More than 5 million people have seen the drama over the years.

Thank you Martin for your kindness and for the apartment which is really comfortable, very well located and well equipped! Thank you again and hope to use your services again in the future
Stayed here for the second time and felt like home! Great location, absolutely recommend staying here!
For several days in May, my friend and I had a very comfortable stay here in Edinburgh's Old City. This well-maintained apartment had all of my favorite amenities and was ideally located for excursions to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, and whisky tastings. Even before we arrived, the nice man who owns this snug little place (which was surprisingly quiet), kindly made sure that we had milk for our tea. Two other advantages are these: if you are not dragging excessive luggage, you can walk here easily from the train station, and the bus to the airport (cheap!) stops about a block from Bull's Close.
Good appartment, clean and close to center.
No problem check in and out.
Owner mailed us the keys and when leaving we dropped them trough the letterbox.
Hi Martin
The flaw is lovely and we have had a great time in it. The location is perfect to spend some days in Edinburgh.
Thanks a lot for everything
all went fine, got the keys in time, apartment was nice and clean. the address is very much in center of edinburgh. a lot of nice places are in walking distance!
Very cosy, clean and well equipped apartment in the heart of Edinburgh. Nice kitchen, good shower and great location. The apartment is exactly as you can see on the photos! We stayed in King Stables as a family with 3 generations and everybody had a great time! Very friendly and good service of Vacation Rentals Schotland.
Absolutely loved it here! Beautiful view, clean and spacious apartment. We just booked our second stay for March. Why change a winning team? And this accomodation is a winner for sure!
Very cozy and clean apartment. In the middle of Edinburgh, and therefore very central. Very good care on the part of the landlord, by handing over the keys to the directions all worked out wonderfully. In this way, a thank you to Martin for the welcome wine and pastries.
Sehr gemütliche und saubere Wohnung. Mitten in Edingburgh und daher sehr zentral gelegen.

Kelly Johnson hit a broken-bat single that dropped cleanly into short right field on an 0-1 pitch leading off the eighth inning, spoiling Red Sox righthander Clay Buchholz's bid for a second career no-hitter.
Johnson, batting eighth in the Tampa Bay lineup, had struck out in his first two trips to the plate.
Buchholz has a career-high 11 strikeouts in the game.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Health Center
Deep Vein Thrombosis - Topic Overview
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein, usually in the legs.
Clots can form in superficial veins and in deep veins. Blood clots with inflammation in superficial veins (called superficial thrombophlebitis or phlebitis) rarely cause serious problems. But clots in deep veins (deep vein thrombosis) require immediate medical care.
These clots are dangerous because they can break loose, travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, and block blood flow in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Pulmonary embolism is often life-threatening. DVT can also lead to long-lasting problems. DVT may damage the vein and cause the leg to ache, swell, and change color.
Blood clots most often form in the calf and thigh veins, and less often in the arm veins or pelvic veins. This topic focuses on blood clots in the deep veins of the legs , but diagnosis and treatment of DVT in other parts of the body are similar.
Each year in the United States, between 350,000 and 600,000 people get a blood clot in the legs or in the lungs.1
Blood clots can form in veins when you are inactive. For example, clots can form if you are paralyzed or bedridden or must sit while on a long flight or car trip. Surgery or an injury can damage your blood vessels and cause a clot to form. Cancer can also cause DVT. Some people have blood that clots too easily, a problem that may run in families.
Symptoms of DVT include swelling of the affected leg. Also, the leg may feel warm and look redder than the other leg. The calf or thigh may ache or feel tender when you touch or squeeze it or when you stand or move. Pain may get worse and last longer or become constant.
If a blood clot is small, it may not cause symptoms. In some cases, pulmonary embolism is the first sign that you have DVT.

Post subject: Me and my brood!
Hiya, I forgot that this forum was tucked down the bottom. So I thought I woiuld tell you about me and my brood I have.
I got with Ian in 2004 and we got married in 2006. Ian has 3 children DD wh is 16, DS who is 13 and DD who is 10.
When i first met his kids I got on with the 2 eldest the best, I think the youngest felt i was taking her dad away. However, after the first 12 months things changed and so did the youngest. Now we are inseperable . I get on with all of my stepchildren - except when their hormones are raging. lol. The eldest has started to pull away from us a bit but i think its more to do with her growing up and finding her place in thsi world. We are all very close. Theycome and stay with us every weekend and the youngest normally asks to stay with us in the week as well.
With regards to their mom, its not that we dont get on - its that we just dont communicate at all. In fact she doesnt really speak to ian unless its to pass on some info. Which i think is best. it used to be different. Ian would pick the kids up and go in the house to wait for them. There was usually an argument. However, now there are no arguments and the kids are much happier. It helps that they are older so they can pass on info themselves.
I love them loads and wouldnt want it any other way now. Weekends are great - though nromally spent freezing watching ellis play hockey, but its worth it. xxx
My baby became an angel and flew to heaven on 20th March.

Tuesday, 10.27.2009 / 3:40 PM ET / Blogs - Beyond the Boards
By Erin Pollina - Sabres.com
|Toni Lydman (photo: Getty Images)
The defenseman suffered a groin injury last week during a game against the Florida Panthers and although he has been skating on his own, has not been able to practice with the team.
"He pushed it a little too hard yesterday," Head Coach Lindy Ruff said. "He felt sore so we decided to keep him off today. That's normal for groins when you get to that point when you think you can almost go."
This is the second injury for Lydman this season. He previously missed three games with a hand injury he sustained during the preseason.
Nathan Paetsch will serve as his replacement alongside Steve Montador.
Andrej Sekera [rib] continued to practice with the team Tuesday at the Amherst Pepsi Center, but Ruff said he will not be available for the match-up against the Devils. There is a chance, however, that the defenseman could play this weekend.

Yes1/12 scale, also referred to as one-inch scale (or 1" scale), means 1 inch = 1 foot
I have purchased several of these and made a museum, a garden, a candy store and soon a witch's shop. They go together easily and are sturdy once assembled. If you stick with this format, they stack and look great side by side. They do need finishing - both inside and out. But I did most of the work before assembling, to keep things clean. On the whole, a good value.
