SYDNEY (AFP) – Two hostages killed in a siege at a central Sydney cafe Tuesday were hailed as heroes "willing to lay down their lives so others might live" in a church service mourning their deaths.
Tori Johnson, the 34-year-old manager of the Lindt chocolate cafe where the crisis unfolded, and 38-year-old barrister and mother-of-three Katrina Dawson died as heavily-armed police ended the 16-hour stand-off.
At a prayer service in St Mary's Cathedral about 500 metres from the cafe, Archbishop Anthony Fisher spoke of how the "heart of our city is broken by the deaths of two innocents".
"Reports have emerged this morning of the heroism of the male victim of this siege," Fisher said.
"Apparently seeing an opportunity Tori Johnson grabbed the gun, tragically it went off killing him. But it triggered the response of the police and eventual freedom for most of the hostages.
"Reports have also emerged that Katrina Dawson was shielding her pregnant friend from gunfire. These heroes were willing to lay down their lives so others might live."
New South Wales Deputy Police Commissioner Catherine Burn did not confirm reports of Johnson's tussle with the gunman, adding that investigators were still compiling the chain of events that led to the siege ending.
Johnson's parents, in a statement shared via Sydney broadcast journalist Ben Fordham, praised their "beautiful boy" and called for everyone to "pray for peace on Earth".
"We are so proud of our beautiful boy Tori, gone from this earth but forever in our memories as the most amazing life partner, son and brother we could ever wish for," the statement said.
"We feel heartfelt sorrow for the family of Katrina Dawson.
"We'd like to thank not only our friends and loved ones for their support, but the people of Sydney; Australia and those around the world for reaching out with their thoughts and prayers."

Anyways this trade makes no sense for either side. Hemsky is the driving force on the oilers 2nd line and Dubnyk has been pretty good this year. Anderson is the senators right now. Ottawa wants to give the young players an oppurtunity to preform in a situation with some hope. Plus it isnt certain if Lehner is ready yet.
Karlsson has a possible career changing injury... He may not be the same for you guys as he was the past 1 and a quarter seasons. Hemsky is still doing what he does, going into the dirty areas to get pucks and distribute them and actually leading our team in goal scoring. We don't need another goaltender atm and trading Hemsky for a goal tender playing above his head right now is not a good gamble. imo.

text: No offense but if thats what you think then you do not have the slightest understanding of CB play. This kid is as natural of a CB as they come. He is very smooth in his hips and has a sense for the motion of his opposing WR. And to achieve that it not only takes ability that takes hard work. I don't want to stress the T-New comparisson. But he aint no competition. T-New was/is a pure athlete with no CB abilities with stiff hips and above average technique. Mo Claiborne has really good technique with good athletic abiltity. In fact his technique makes him look to be a great athlete which in my opinion he is not (he is near thou).

"I wish either the envelopes matched the color of the invitations or the labels were white. It was "odd" to not have the colors on the envelopes match"
"I ordered these to match our invites and thank you cards. They came before the expected delivery date, but I do live close to the company, so that's lucky. They are so cute and I love the design! Great quality too!"
"I was impressed by the quality of these labels. The colors are vibrant, and the print clear and neat. I've ordered labels from different vendors and these are my favorite!"
"This label came out around Valentine's Day, however, can certainly be used year-round. Our dog is very similar to this one, so we had to have it!"
"These were the best finishing touch to the invitations. I loved the colors and design, and the texture of the label was perfect."

The night the Latino vote came of age
There's been lots of talk about the influence of the Latino vote in this presidential election. But with the recent anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy, a number of historians and Texans are remembering a certain night in November, according to an AP story.
It was Nov. 21, 1963 and President Kennedy was supposed to stop and wave hello to Latinos who had gathered at the Rice Ballroom in Houston for a gala sponsored by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).
But the president and First Lady Jackie Kennedy were enthuisatically welcomed by the crowd and Kennedy spoke briefly about the importance of Latin America and LULAC. Mrs. Kennedy talked to the crowd in Spanish.
Their appearance was greeted with shouts of "Viva Kennedy!"
Many believe that no president had ever before acknowledged Latinos as a voting bloc. For it was the Mexican-American votes in a number of swing states that had helped Kennedy win in 1960.
Fifteen hours after that historic meeting, Kennedy was dead.
"The Latino vote did not come of age the night Obama was elected," said Ignacio Garcia, author of "Viva Kennedy: Mexican Americans in Search of Camelot," and a history professor at Brigham Young University.
"It came of age Nov. 21, 1963."

Begin your visit to Independence National Historical Park at the Independence Visitor Center, located at the corner of 6th and Market Streets.
Easily recognizable because of its crack, the Liberty Bell remains significant today for it's message of liberty. Abolitionists, women's suffrage activists, civil rights leaders and others have used this bell as their symbol in the fight for equality.
In 1776, the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence here. Eleven years later, in the same room, delegates to the Constitutional Convention created and signed an enduring framework of government - the United States Constitution. Although known today as Independence Hall, the building was constructed to be the Pennsylvania State House. It once housed all three branches of Pennsylvania's colonial government.
Explore the design vocabulary of Georgian architecture as it appears in the Central Hall and Tower Stair Hall of Independence Hall. These rooms retain many of their 18th century features, such as carved masks, stair ornamentation and a Venetian window.
Explore various images taken from the project which occurred from 2010-2012.
From 1790 to 1800, Philadelphia served as the temporary capital of the U.S. During that time, the U.S. Congress met in Congress Hall. The House of Representatives met on the first floor while the Senate convened upstairs. Presidents George Washington (second term) and John Adams both took the oath of office in this building.
This building, completed in 1791, once served as City Hall for Philadelphia. During the 1790s, the courtroom was used by the Supreme Court of the United States. City Council met on the second floor while court convened below.
Located adjacent to Independence Hall, this exhibit contains some gems. Look for 18th century printings of the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and U.S. Constitution.
Photos of the new Benjamin Franklin Museum
Explore Franklin Court, home to the courtyard, Printing Office, and Fragments of Franklin exhibit, in addition to the Benjamin Franklin Museum.
The President's House: Freedom and Slavery in the Making of a New Nation is an outdoor exhibit that examines the paradox between slavery and freedom in the founding of the nation. Presidents Washington and Adams both lived and worked, along with their households, at a home that once stood on this spot.
Once the War Department for a new nation, this site now showcases the history of the Continental Marines, Army, and Navy.
Working in rooms rented from bricklayer Jacob Graff, Thomas Jefferson drafted a declaration espousing the political ideas of the enlightenment philosophers. The house went through many alterations in the 1800s before being demolished. The National Park Service reconstructed it in 1975.
One of five parks within William Penn's "Greene Countrie Towne," Washington Square later became a burial ground for the dead, and a gathering place for the living. Today, city residents and tourists enjoy strolling, picnicking, and people-watching in this urban oasis.
Located on the corner of 5th and Arch Streets, the Free Quaker Meeting House is an 18th century structure with a story to tell about non-conformists, the intersection of religion and politics, and the power of community.
Twice this house sheltered George Washington. In 1793, he took refuge here from the deadly yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia. The following summer, it was a welcome retreat from the heat of the capital city. Also known as the Deshler-Morris House, the home gets it name from its first and last owners.
Future First Lady Dolley Madison lived in this house with her first husband, John Todd, from 1791-1793. John died during the 1793 yellow fever epidemic. Following her husband's death, Dolley married James Madison, who later became the fourth president of the United States.

The danger of how the media covered Ryan Lochte's Olympic mess
During a regular segment on Helmets and Heels dubbed 'Studs and Duds', the issue of how Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte has been portrayed were on full display. And if you knew the facts of the story ahead of time, the power of pitchfork social media can be scary. I pride myself on listening to a variety of daily sports podcasts across multiple networks in order to get a well-rounded scope of current topics. So when the Ryan Lochte story of vandalism, lying and disrespecting another country broke last week, it caused an initial feeling of embarrassment and head shaking....Read More

I almost chickened out of our first date. For all I knew, I could be a victim of some internet scam. Trembling and on edge, I drove to the Italian restaurant where we'd decided to meet. I arrived before him, and my nerves couldn't handle the wait. I decided I was going to turn around and go home! Read more »
Well, I (Julia) had just joined the site, and had only been on about 2 weeks. I was perusing profiles, and he caught my eye instantly. Considering I had come to the site with the aim of dating a woman, that's saying something! Read more »
I felt so comfortable around him that I was doing cheesy dances in the parking lot for him. Read more »
We have been living together since December and our planning our wedding within the next few months! Read more »
So while we were driving back to her work my mind was going crazy with thoughts like "Well, she already knows I'm going to ask tomorrow at the museum." I have always heard that it should be a surprise, so as we pulled up I made my mind up. She went inside and I waited a few seconds then frantically popped my trunk and grabbed the ring ran back to my seat and sat on the ring box and all. In my head, I told myself "Here we go."

Becky really is everything and more I could ever wish for and I am so lucky that she started talking to me on OkC!! Shes amazing and beautiful and cute and she makes me feel like I'm the most special girl in the world. I can't imagine never being with her. She truly is my angel. Read more »
The first time I met Ryan, I thought he was gay! (It turns out, it was just that he had all the sensitivity, compassion, energy, friendliness and approachability of my best gay friends and none of the disgusting alpha male bravado that I'd come to associate with straight men.) I was sort of under the influence and I passed out on the couch of a house party the moment he had arrived to meet me in person. Read more »
Our first date was amazingly awesome! We went to the 2010 Philadelphia Flower show, and it was truly an amazing day. I was surrounded by so much beauty the entire day... even when we weren't at the flower show, I had the pleasure of looking at a delicate flower all day. Read more »
I love him so much, and he's the sweetest man I have ever known. He was everything I was looking for and so much more that I didn't even know I wanted!

Cortney almost canceled at the last minute because she had never met someone from the internet in person before and was afraid of what she would say if he turned out to be weird or creepy in person.

We talked for about 6 months before we met. It was awesome to get to know him online before meeting him in person, because once we met, it was like we already knew each other. I thought he was an amazing guy, and couldn't believe he wasn't already taken! He's such a catch!!! Read more »

Philippines travel guide
The Philippines archipelago, consisting of more than 7,000 islands, is sandwiched between Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, and flanked by the South China Sea. All her neighbours have well-known tourist appeal, but the Philippines, even though the sea is just as blue and clear and the myriad coral islands just as alluring, seems to have missed the boat when it comes to fully marketing its attractions. The Philippines is a magical travel destination which remains relatively undiscovered.
Bad press in recent years, after some high-profile terrorism and kidnapping incidents, has not helped matters. The country has also laboured under a turbulent political reputation and is still overcoming the effects of martial law. Its poor infrastructure, dilapidated roads and unsafe ferries, have also all played a role in deterring potential travellers and the country has been overlooked as an eco-tourist destination because of local disregard for its natural resources (such as fishermen dynamiting coral reefs). While resources are being channelled into education to prevent such practices a great deal of damage has already been done to the environment.
The good news is that Filipinos themselves are warm and welcoming, as underscored in the country's tagline 'where Asia wears a smile'. Apart from some beautiful, remote tropical islands and legendary scuba diving spots, the archipelago's best resource is the friendliness and laid-back attitude of the Filipino people. Their hospitable and embracing attitude is enough to put a smile on any visitor's face; and this is even more the case in the country's rural areas. The Philippines has some superb all-inclusive luxury resorts spread around the islands which cushion visitors from the general degradation and safety risks of the cities and towns, and a major plus is that the country is amazingly cheap for foreign tourists who have dollars, pounds or euros to spend. Also, the food is delicious, and English is widely spoken.
Independent travellers who like to wander off the beaten track, and do not mind doing without the conveniences of running water and the like, will find plenty to fascinate them in the countryside and coastal parts of the Philippines; albeit without the assistance of guide books. The Philippines is one of the few places left in the world where adventurers can wander through tribal lands, unfettered by modern interferences. Travellers are, however, advised to follow the current safety advice on areas to avoid.
The basics
Money :
The currency of the Philippines is the Peso (PHP), which is divided into 100 centavos. Major credit cards are widely accepted in the cities and tourist destinations. ATMs are available in the major cities. US dollars are widely accepted in Manila and other tourist areas and are the easiest currency to exchange; otherwise euros and pounds sterling can also be exchanged in banks and hotels. Banks open from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday, but their ATMs are open 24 hours. It is best to carry pesos when travelling outside of major centres.
Language : The official language of the Philippines is Filipino, but English is widely spoken. Tagalog is the most predominant of the many dialects or local languages spoken throughout the islands.
Electricity : Electrical current is 220 volts, 60Hz. Two-pin flat blade attachments and two-pin round plugs are used.
Entry Requirements :
United States citizens must have a passport valid for six months after date of arrival. No visa is required for a stay of up to 30 days. Visas can be obtained on arrival for stays of up to 59 days.
British citizens must have a passport valid for six months after date of arrival. No visa is required for a stay of up to 30 days, unless passport is endorsed British National (Overseas) issued in Hong Kong, in which case no visa is required for a maximum stay of seven days. On arrival, a visa can be issued for up to 59 days.
Canadians must have a passport valid for six months after date of arrival. No visa is required for a stay of up to 30 days. On arrival, a visa can be issued for a stay of up to 59 days.
Australians must have a passport valid for six months after date of arrival. No visa is required for a stay of up to 30 days. On arrival, a visa can be issued for up to 59 days.
South Africans must have a passport valid for six months after date of arrival. No visa is required for a stay of up to 30 days. Visas can be obtained on arrival for stays of up to 59 days.
Irish citizens must have a passport valid for six months after date of arrival. No visa is required for a stay of up to 30 days. On arrival, a visa can be issued for up to 59 days.
New Zealand nationals must have a passport valid for six months after date of arrival. No visa is required for a stay of up to 30 days. On arrival, a visa can be issued for up to 59 days.
Passport/Visa Note :
Everyone entering the Philippines must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of arrival in the country. All visitors must have return or onward tickets, documents necessary for further travel, as well as sufficient funds. A visa is not required for a stay of up to 30 days provided these criterion are met. Extensions for visas are possible and should be made with the Bureau of Immigration. Visas may be issued on arrival for stays of up to 59 days for a fee of USD 50, and multiple extensions up to one year total are possible.
Travel Health :
No special vaccination certificates are required for the Philippines, except by travellers arriving from an area infected with yellow fever. Vaccinations are recommended for typhoid, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B. Those who will be spending more than a month in rural areas should consider a vaccination for Japanese encephalitis, and those who may be at risk of animal bites should consider a rabies vaccination. There is a malaria risk in parts of the Philippines and visitors should seek medical advice before travelling; urban areas are generally considered risk-free. Dengue fever is a risk throughout the country; the best prevention is to avoid mosquito bites. Tap water is not safe to drink and ice in drinks should be avoided; cholera is a risk in the country and precautions are advised. Sea snakes can be highly venomous; travellers should be cautious in remote coastal waters, lakes and rivers, as anti-venom may not be readily available.
Medical care is good in Manila, although very expensive. Outside of the capital it can be very difficult to get medical attention. Comprehensive medical insurance is advised. Travellers should take along any prescription medication they require, in its original packaging, along with a signed and dated letter from a doctor detailing what the medication is and why it is needed.
Tipping :
Tipping is expected for most services in the Philippines. The standard practice is 10 percent of the total bill. Tipping is optional on bills that already include a 10 percent service charge.
Safety Information :
Safety and security should be of paramount concern to any visitor to the Philippines. It is vital to be fully informed of threats and developments regarding crime, terrorism and kidnapping before and during a visit to the islands. Vigilance is vital throughout the islands, particularly in Manila, as opportunistic crimes are motivated by circumstances of poverty. Extremist groups have a history of kidnapping foreign tourists, and terrorist bombings have occurred in Manila and Mindanao, targeting transport and public places. Recent explosions in Mindanao have killed and injured many people. Security has been increased across the southern Philippines, and many foreign governments have issued warnings against travelling to Mindanao. Terrorist groups have also threatened to attack passenger ferries and other vessels, particularly those operating from Mindanao. The threat of terrorism and kidnapping is greatest in central, southern and western Mindanao, Basilan, Tawi Tawi, Jolo and the Sulu archipelago. The FCO, US Department of State and other governments advise against all travel to these areas, and care should also be taken in Palawan and at coastal resorts and tourist centres throughout.
There is a high incidence of piracy and armed robbery against ships in and around Philippine waters, and a risk of kidnappings at sea. It is believed that terrorists are continuing with plans to kidnap foreigners from the islands and coastal areas in the southern Philippines, putting all boats travelling to and from offshore islands in the Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago, as well as at dive sites, at great risk. Safety standards on ferries are low, and rescue services are not very comprehensive. It is advisable to avoid travel off the beaten track, and to leave travel plans with friends, colleagues or relatives.
The area is prone to typhoons between July and November, when flooding and landslides can occur: Typhoon Fengshen in June 2008 resulted in flash floods, landslides and rough seas that caused hundreds of deaths.
Local Customs :
The concept of 'shame' is very important in Filipino culture and visitors should avoid offending or embarrassing anyone in public while visiting the Philippines. Failure to live up to accepted standards of behaviour brings shame not only on themselves, but also on their family. Any food or drink offered should be accepted, as this is a sign of hospitality.
Business :
Third party introductions are useful when conducting business in the Philippines and face-to-face communication is key. Emphasis is placed on building good working relations and getting to know each other. Business is conducted formally, and although punctuality is important, meetings may not begin on time. Dress should be conservative: suits and ties are the norm, although many Filipino men wear a shirt known as a barong tagalong, which is a far cooler option in the humid environment. English is widely spoken in business circles and business hours are usually from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
Communications :
The international access code for the Philippines is +63. Major towns, cities and popular tourist spots are covered by GSM 900 and 1800 mobile phone networks with limited 3G coverage. Internet cafes are available in major cities and tourist resorts.
Duty Free :
Travellers to the Philippines over 18 years do not have to pay duty on 400 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250g pipe tobacco; and 2 litres of alcoholic beverages. Prohibited items include firearms or parts thereof, explosives and ammunition; printed material that contains subversive, obscene or pornographic content; drugs, gambling machines, lottery sweepstake tickets, or coin-operated video machines; gold, silver and other precious metals that do not have authentication of quality; non-identifiable brands of medicines or foodstuffs; coca leaves and any prohibited drugs; plants or parts thereof, fruits and vegetables.

The Philippines has a tropical marine climate which can be clearly divided into a rainy season and a dry season. The summer monsoon brings heavy rains to most of the country from May to October, and the winter monsoon brings cooler and drier air from December to February. The hottest time of year is April and May, although there is little variation in temperature all year round. Manila and most of the lowland areas are hot and dusty from March to May, when temperatures can rise to around 99°F (37°C). However, there are variations in climate according to region; for instance, along the eastern seaboard the rainy season generally runs from December to March, and it is generally dry when the rest of the country is at its wettest. Average sea-level temperatures rarely drop below 80°F (27°C) so swimming is possible year-round providing the ocean is calm. Tropical storms and typhoons are possible between July and October.
Weather-wise, the best time to visit the Philippines is between January and May; however, be warned that this is also the peak tourist season, and so accommodation and flight prices will be higher. The country is particularly crowded during Easter. Travellers should also note that weather has become less predictable in the Philippines in recent years.

BIRMINGHAM housing solicitors have been accused by the local council of "ambulance chasing" after it was forced to pay out £13m in legal costs for housing disrepair cases.
The charge was levelled at the city's solicitors by the chair of Birmingham City Council's housing committee, Dennis Minnis, as he unveiled plans to borrow £34m from the private sector to improve two housing estates.
Residents at the Kingstanding and Branwood estates have recently won numerous housing disrepair cases against the council.
Last year it paid out £13m in claims and it has set aside £17m to pay for similar claims this year.
Minnis claimed unscrupulous solicitors were targeting poor tenants on run-down estates because they were able to obtain legal aid.
Attacking the practice as "the housing equivalent" of ambulance-chasing, he said: "It's a very predatory way of doing business. It's costing millions which comes out of rents – monies which then can't be spent on more urgent repairs."
He said a flood of claims faced by the council last year had delayed 80,000 scheduled repairs on other homes.
But Gerald Kennedy, a surveyor for McGrath & Co, dismissed Minnis's claims saying the legal aid system made it extremely difficult for tenants on low incomes, many of whom had waited years for repairs to take place, to take action.
"What councils really want is to do repairs when they want. What they want is to be able to break the law," he said.
He added that he had been involved in 20,000 housing cases during his 21-year career and he had seen no evidence to support the council's allegations.
A spokesman for Birmingham law society said the council was attempting to deflect attention from the poor state of its 90,000-strong housing stock by blaming those who protect the rights of tenants.
This is not the first time housing solicitors have clashed with local councils.
In November 1996 Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council accused solicitors of applying for legal aid on behalf of their clients before informing council landlords of disrepair problems in a bid to ensure cases went to court.

The code will be applied to the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), its Rwandan equivalent, and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Counsel with ICTY experience have raised concerns about whether the code of ethics will be capable of stamping out fee-sharing corruption. The United Nations' preparatory committee will consider the draft code in April. It has published a report into fee-splitting in the ICTY and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) (The Lawyer, 22 October).
The report found that expensive gifts and money were handed to clients, and lawyers complained that their clients pressured them for cash or a cut of their legal fees. This was the main impetus behind the new ethical code.
William Clegg QC, head of 2 Bedford Row and an experienced defence counsel at the ICTY, expressed reservations about the ethical code. He said: "In terms of the ethical code's ability to eliminate fee-sharing, it is unlikely to be any more effective at the ICC than at the ICTY. Simply to say one is not allowed to do something will not stop people from doing it.
"In terms of the ethical code's ability to eliminate fee-sharing, it is unlikely to be any more effective at the ICC than at the ICTY"
William Clegg QC, 2 Bedford Row
"Also, fee-sharing will be a fraud on the court, therefore the court will be minded to prosecute a lawyer. The code is simply formalising a view held by the court."
In addition, a defence bar – a panel of lawyers to act for defendants – is under consideration. A panel currently exists for the ICTY and the ICTR.
The move is underway, despite concerns about the future of the ICC if the US continues to refuse to ratify the Rome Statute of the ICC. A further 17 states need to ratify the Rome Statute for the ICC to go ahead, but commentators questions its worth if the US does not ratify, because of its global dominance.

Class Diagram
Definition - What does Class Diagram mean?
A class diagram is a type of diagram and part of a unified modeling language (UML) that defines and provides the overview and structure of a system in terms of classes, attributes and methods, and the relationships between different classes.
It is used to illustrate and create a functional diagram of the system classes and serves as a system development resource within the software development life cycle.
Techopedia explains Class Diagram
A class diagram is primarily designed for developers to provide the conceptual model and architecture of the system being developed. Typically, a class diagram consists of more than one class or all the created classes for a system.
It is a type of structure diagram and looks similar to a flow chart having three main parts illustrated in rectangular boxes. The first or top part specifies the class name, the second or middle specifies attributes of that class and the third or bottom section lists the methods or operations that specific class can perform.

Looking for a way to take essential oils on the go? Then, make an essential oil inhaler. They're the size of a tube of lip balm, and they seal tight, so you don't have to worry about them leaking in your bag. To enjoy your favorite oil blend, just unscrew the lid, and inhale deeply.
If you've ever used a Vicks (R) Vapor Inhaler these work just like those. The only difference is that you get to pick what goes inside. Make inhalers to relieve headaches, congestion from a cold/flu or seasonal allergies, motion sickness or even insomnia. There are so many possibilities. Here's how they're made. [Read more…]
When my hair conditioner ran out before I found another clearance deal, I decided to see if I could make my own. After a few rounds of experimenting, I ended up with a conditioner that I like better than any commercial conditioner that I've ever tried. It takes me less than five minutes to make; costs very little to put together; and leaves even my oldest daughter's crazy-long locks easy to brush. I also love that I know exactly what's in it (not much) and that I can use essential oils to customize it to my hair's needs.
Want to try my recipe for yourself? Here's my latest formula (recently tweaked for longer shelf life):
Have you seen all the recipes for shower melts circulating around on the web? The concept is brilliant. You mix a couple ingredients together to form a hard tablet that you can add essential oils to. Then, you place one in the bottom of the shower, and as the water melts it, the oils are released into the steam, so you breathe them in while you're showering. It basically turns your shower into a giant diffuser. And that's a great thing, if you're looking for relief from congestion caused by sinus problems, allergies, a cold or the flu. Just scent your shower melts with essential oils that help to relieve congestion – peppermint and eucalyptus, for example — and by the end of your shower, you should start to feel some relief from all of that sinus pressure.
Like I said, it's a brilliant concept, but the recipes I tried were less than brilliant. They all basically danced around the same idea of combining three parts baking soda with one part water. That combination will give you a tablet of sorts, but you either have to wait forever for them to air dry or bake them in the oven before you can use them. Then, once they're dry, you have to be super careful with them because they crumble really easily. But the biggest problem by far is that they dissolve too fast to get all the diffuser benefits that you're after. After looking at the comments on a bunch of blogs, I could see that other people felt the same way, so I decided to come up with my own recipe. [Read more…]
We're entering the teen years at my house, which means we're dealing with things like zits for the first time. We're lucky to have good skin in our family, but even the occasional zit can be cause for teen drama. And drama, it's something I try to avoid. Time to find a solution.
Since I try to steer clear of harsh chemicals, that meant most commercial products were out. Burt's Bees sells a blemish stick, and I've heard good things about it, but it sells for almost $8, and when I looked at the ingredients, it contained several essential oils that are considered unsafe for kids. As much as I love Burt's Bees, that gave me pause.
So, I did what I often do: I invented my own solution. And now that I know how easy it is to make a blemish stick, I'm really glad I didn't pay $8 for one. Here's what you do. [Read more…]

It was a pivotal week in the National Women's Soccer League as the first playoff spot has been claimed. To no one's surprise, the Seattle Reign FC clinched a berth into the playoffs while last year's champion Portland Thorns greatly improved their chances of reaching the post season, too.
A draw against the Chicago Red Stars on Sunday was enough for the Reign FC to guarantee they will advance beyond the regular season. Meanwhile, the Thorns picked up four points this week thanks to a draw against the Red Stars on Thursday night and then a big win against the Breakers during the first nationally televised game of the season.
Sky Blue FC continues to enjoy its role as a spoiler this season as they delivered a big loss to the Washington Spirit, who are thick in the battle for a playoff spot. It was a loss that may come back to haunt the Spirit as they will close out the season facing the league's top teams.
Though the Western New York Flash still sit in sixth place, they were able to draw with FC Kansas City on Friday night and only a few points outside of that last playoff spot. With a healthy Abby Wambach back for the last month of the season, their fortunes may turn around.
Here's a closer look at the week's results:
The Portland Thorns and the Chicago Red Stars met for the third time this month on Thursday night. The result was a familiar one-a 1-1 draw for the third time in as many weeks as the two teams found themselves splitting points once again.
Jessica McDonald recorded the quickest goal in NWSL history when she scored only 33 seconds into the match for Portland. Stephanie Catley is credited with the assist as she delivered a perfect cross from the left flank to McDonald right in front of the goal line.
The Red Stars equalized late in the second half with a goal from Lori Chalupny in the 77th minute. Chalupny was able to punch in a deflected shot after the Thorns FC defense failed to clear a missed attempt.
No match highlights available.
The Washington Spirit went to Houston looking to pick up three points from the Dash. Instead they had to settle for a 1-1 draw thanks to a goal in the 74th minute by Houston defender Marissa Diggs.
A corner kick drew center back Diggs to the goal line and she tapped in the equalizer from the far post, the first professional goal for the rookie.
Lisa De Vanna earned the lone goal for the Spirit in the 19th minute after a quick breakaway by Jodie Taylor caught the Dash defense out of position and allowed De Vanna a fairly easy chip shot past keeper Erin McLeod.
No match highlights available.
The Western New York Flash are trying to make a push for the playoffs without their star forward Abby Wambach, who has been out since the end of May with a knee injury. Sam Kerr has done her best to fill in the gap, adding her seventh goal of the season on Friday night to give the Flash one point after a 1-1 draw with FC Kansas City.
FC Kansas City struck first in the 17th minute when Sarah Hagen added her third goal in only four games with the Blues. Hagen has been a key addition for the second place team after joining them midseason from FC Bayern Munich.
Kerr then added her goal only five minutes later with a looping header that was just out of reach of FC Kansas City keeper Nicole Barnhart.
Check out the match highlights:
The Boston Breakers may have the worst record in the league, but they still managed to give the Portland Thorns FC a challenge on Sunday afternoon. However Portland rallied in the second half to pull off a 6-3 victory at home in front of over 14,000 fans.
The first forty-five minutes saw a bevy of goals exchanged between the two teams, with the game drawn at 3-3 at the half. Portland captain Christine Sinclair broke the tie in the 46th minute with her third goal of the game and the Thorns FC never trailed after that.
Alex Morgan, Jessica McDonald and Allie Long also contributed goals for the Portland with McDonald scoring her eleventh goal on the year, which ties her for the most in the league. And while Vero Boquete was held without a goal, she was perhaps the most valuable player on the field for Portland as she controlled and created chances for the team that made up for their many defensive lapses.
Check out the match highlights:
The Washington Spirit's battle for the playoffs just got a little bit harder after losing 4-2 against one of the worst teams in the league. It was a loss of three much needed points for the Spirit who have one of the toughest remaining schedules.
Kelley O'Hara had a brace with goals in the 22nd and 85th minute for Sky Blue FC. Sophie Schmidt and Nadia Nadim also contributed goals for the seventh placed club. Washington did score twice in the waning minutes of the game with Jodie Taylor and Robin Gayle providing the late offensive attack for the Spirit. It was not enough however as the team now clings to fourth place in the league and will take on the red-hot Portland Thorns FC on Wednesday night.
Check out the match highlights:
The Seattle Reign FC needed to earn at least one point to secure a spot in the playoffs. They managed to do that with a 1-1 draw against the Chicago Red Stars on Sunday night and now the team with the best record in the league will make the playoffs for the first time.
Beverly Goebel scored her fourth goal of the season with an assist from Kendal Fletcher in the 70th minute. The Red Stars however were able to equalize in the 82nd minute with a goal from Christen Press.
The result left the Red Stars in fifth place and needing to make up some ground if they want to make the playoffs, which begin in a month.
Check out the match highlights:
Player of the Week: The honor goes to another Portland Thorns FC player as Christine Sinclair helped her team win a big game against the Boston Breakers and doubled her goal tally for the year. Sinclair had a slow start to the season on the offensive front but seems to be finding her form-and the net at just the right time.
Team of the Week: Although it wasn't the flashiest game of the week, the Seattle Reign FC have punched their ticket to the post season after their draw against the Chicago Red Stars. This team was one of the worst to take the pitch last year and now can enjoy their last month of the season knowing they will be in contention for the championship.
Everyone's saying that the Reign clinched a playoff spot on Sunday… No-one did schedule analysis!
A look at the article NWSL posted on the 18th shows that Washington's, Portland's, and Chicago's max possible points were 45, 44, and 44 respectively, while Seattle had 42 points and WNY had a max of 41. Seattle had the tiebreak over Washington, so for all those three teams (WAS, POR, CHI) to pass SEA, they could at worst drop two points each. BUT Washington still has to play both CHI and POR before the end of the season, so one of those three teams is going to drop more than three points! As such, there was no way to have four teams pass Seattle as of the 18th.
*going to drop more than two points!
