Wedding Veil - Decorated
Stunning single layer ivory, fingertip length wedding veil, 35 inches long. It has decorative beading at the edges of the veil (all the way around). It's absolutely beautiful - new without tags. I decided to use a double layer veil so this one was never used. Originally paid $350.

Ultherapy® is all-the-buzz! You may have seen it featured on national TV shows, touted by big-name beauty editors from Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, New Beauty, Marie Claire and more. Ultherapy treatment is the only FDA-approved non-invasive treatment for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, brow and décolletage. If you're wondering why it has got everyone talking about it, have a look at this write up.
How does it work?
Ultherapy is based on the same ultrasound technology used in medical imaging devices. The Ultherapy device takes images of the inner layers of skin and delivers heat to the areas needing treatment. This heat causes the skin to respond and create new collagen, which is responsible for tightening the skin. It is safe and tightens skin naturally without any surgery or downtime.
The reasons why it is the ultimate non-surgical facelift option are,
- Unique Results
Ultherapy stands out among the other non-invasive tightening devices as it is the only procedure with an FDA indication for non-invasive lift. It is also used to specifically improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
- Safe
Ultherapy allows you to achieve a youthful appearance by non-surgical means. It does not disrupt the surface of the skin. This attracts new patients who aren't yet ready for surgery and provides an excellent post-surgical touch-up option.
- Natural Healing Process
It uses ultrasound waves to stimulate the growth of collagen, a natural protein found in the body that heals skin and returns it to a youthful appearance. Collagen encourages the tightening and gradual lifting of skin into a more form-fitting shape.
- Quick Healing Time
As it is non-surgical, Ultherapy has minimal side effects. It heals quickly and you'll be resuming your daily activities with a fresh-faced outlook on life.
If you're looking to exert some control over your aging but are perhaps unready for surgical facelift procedures, Ultherapy is the right choice.

Here some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
I'm so upset at what the teacher just said to us :"((19 Posts)
The school sounds crap. If you get nowhere with the head, then complain higher up.
Good luck x
Ot hasn't seen him yet and the doc was supposed to of referred him a couple of weeks ago - hadn't realised I only needed to contact local hospital to self refer. I may chase that up tomorrow too!
Has the OT seen him? If not you can self refer just ring the local hospital up and ask for form.
The teacher doesn't seem to accept he's any different and doesn't want him to stand out. Although, he's happy for him to stand out and use a stool rather than a chair!
What about a wobble cushion? Ds is definitely fidgeting less since getting one.
That's a great idea about break. I know what time it is so I will write and say that each Friday, I will be collecting Ds at . . .
So far, my diary has concluded that Ds's frustration is mainly due to school!! I am considering writing some replies to his comments - maybe not as direct as those already suggested but they will feature - do you think this is a good idea?
Hi, I don't want to identify myself but happy to share an experience if you pm me
of course they will blame your DS it cant be their WONDERFUL caring attitude can it ...
find out what time is break time and collect your ds for his break. Tell them straight that if they are unable to allow him to excercise and wind down from the learning then you will take him out of school to walk around the block. They will soon get the message you are not going away.
He is being punished detention is just that. DD didnt do her homework and had detention where she plainly did nothing but sat there. This is to show that the teachers wasted their time planning the homework so they are now wasting her time (daft utter daft I know) but its still punishment for something he is unable to cope with.
Diary of everything you experience from the school for yourself just incase you do come to loggerheads and need legal advise from IPSEA or somewhere. Also if school mention anything log it and also ask them how they dealt with it and log that down too!
Reason is you will be able to tell them whats NOT working and you will form a pattern of events to help you work out what is causing your sons stress x
Hi sweetteamum, we are going through the referral process with our school for my son, suspect he has ADHD symptoms. I read the Tinsley House thread on MN & took so much peace of mind from the advice on there. If you haven't already read Robin Pauc's book 'Is that my child' then I think it would help you through this period while waiting for the assessment. I have applied as much of Robin's advice to my son & have seen some improvement which has made the waiting time a bit less stressful, it's calmed both him and us. Hope this is helpful to you.
I think you've thought the same as me. As he was reaming all this off I was thinking how much he must of been struggling.
I don't know what we are going to do about schools. This one is completely useless, yet when I looked into moving him the ones I went to visit just were the same - we're going round in circles.
He doesn't have a statement currently, but after the meeting tonight, I think we need to apply for one, sooner rather than later!!
He's getting breaktime detentions for not completing homework. Although the teacher said it's not a punishment but other children are giving up their time to do the homework so it's up to ds to give some time up in the day.
I was reminding him that a child with adhd should not be kept in but it was falling on deaf ears.
Thanks for the idea of writing a letter re' homework. Thats another letter I will do tonight, as well as wanting a copy of all school records.
DS doesn't tell me everything so i'm not sure how much a diary would help. I already keepa diary of his behaviour at home,so hope that'll come in handy.
I am pleased that you also think the lack of progression is due to the actual teachers, rather than him himself. I just can't believe that they are blaming their crap teaching on ds and his attitude.
You could try getting the proffessional you are seeing to write to the school (and copy you in) asking them to treat your son as IF he has asd, adhd etc and list some suggestions in the meantime? ok so he doesnt have asd but has some traits so these cannot be ignored.
Keep a diary going. I think you may just need it x
If a teacher says your chi,d can't learn, what they're actually saying is 'I don't know how to teach your child!' Your son is probably unable to make progress because of how they're teaching him and they need to probably revise his Iep and make sure they work on areas of weaknesses they've identified positive.y first, so that your son can then let them teach him. It's not down to your son to take whatever crap teaching they're giving him but down to them to facilitate his learning.
And so he writes slow BIG DEAL. He is still writing.
Homework. NOT a necessity. Just plain stop doing it. Nothing they can do about that and nor can they punish him for it. Tell them he is having a hard enough job coping during the day so the school has pointed out so until measures are put into place homework will not be done as this is adding to the stress at present.
Sorry but I have heard this all before and it soooo winds me up x
I would remind them that he is undergoing assessments and a bit of tolerance would be appreciated. We kept getting school saying that ds had to be treated like everyone else as he had no diagnosis even though he was on a full time statement! Complain and see how it goes otherwise I would be starting to look for a more understanding school if I were you. Have they given him detentions for his difficulties yet? That is what some schools like to do
Go armed with what YOU want to see happening. print off some internet bits on behaviour support for dcs with adhd or sensory processing disorder that will benefit him.
another one is giving him a head start at playtime so he is charging around and bring him in 5 mins BEFORE the others for "down time" such as a story so he winds down ready to learn.
There is a lot I could suggest but it all depends on if you think the school will follow.
ok either move him or battle a bit first
Dont be upset with your DS for a start as he is obviously not getting the support or if he was he wouldnt be having such difficulties!
BIG mistake number one forfeiting children with ADHD their playtime.............they need MORE playtime not less. Short breaks away from his desk would do him good to recharge his learning batteries. My DS attention span is between 7 and 9 mins. BIG mistake number two. Expecting a child with ADHD to stop fidgeting. They will they always will its how you help them fidget that is the ticket. Give him a fiddle toy, wobble cushion or again time away for a run around the hall, kicking a ball, even sweeping the hall floor for the fun of it. Heavy muscle work is great and grounds some children long enough to cope with another ten mins work.
Dont go and see the HT before you WRITE (email?) a letter to the ht and to the senco. Sorry but from old experience if you state your concerns in writing there is no back tracking from what you would like to see.
Does he have a statement? if not apply forget the school doing it. I have a feeling this is all going to be you doing the hard work here.
if i might be so bold i'll re-write your DS CT's words for you
His attitude to learning is bad - DS doesn't understand what is expected?
His behaviour isn't the best - DS has difficulty maintaining the best behaviour
He's refused to do work for a temp ta - DS was put off by a stranger in his class
He's still fidgeting - DS is uncomfortable
He's still restless - see above
He's still swinging on his chair (has now been given a stool to sit on instead) - DS is sensory seeking or soothing by rocking
His writing could be better and he's a slow writer - so what
The teacher said school are doing all they can but its all down to Charlie now. - CT is at a loss and needs support himself
Oh and when we suggested he get some help with work etch, we were told that he's getting enough teacher time as it is!!
Dh and I have just been to parents evening for ds, 10 and in year 5. He's under assessment for asd symptoms (but not asd), ADHD, dyspraxia
Well, I wasn't expecting what was to come. It seems ds hasn't progressed for just a few of the reasons listed below:
His attitude to learning is bad
His behaviour isn't the best
He's refused to do work for a temp ta
He's still fidgeting
He's still restless
He's still swinging on his chair (has now been given a stool to sit on instead)
His writing could be better and he's a slow writer
The teacher said school are doing all they can but its all down to Charlie now.
A month ago I asked for a temp halt on homework as he's been so depressed that he's been looking at some very worrying things on Internet. We were told there is a whole school policy and ds has been loosing break or at least ten minutes of it. We were told they are the rules and they wouldn't take into consideration ANY of his difficulties.
I meantioned differentiation (there is none) and making allowances but its not up for discussion. We were hurried out as you only get 5 minutes and we were ten!
I will be writing to the head and while we met with him on the way out I said I wanted copies of sen, disability and any other relevant details tomorrow. I also told him I was not happy, which I'm sure he could tell anyway!!

Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones over time. Because of this, it puts you at risk for breaking a bone. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common form of osteoporosis. It affects many women after menopause, leaving some women at high risk for fracture.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a progressive disease—you need to monitor it over time.
T-scores from regular DXA scans can help your doctor monitor your bone density over time.
Women taking a postmenopausal osteoporosis medication should get a bone density scan every 2 years.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, they should get a scan every 2 years. (In some cases, a doctor may recommend more frequent testing.)
What is postmenopausal osteoporosis?
Hear Dr. Schneider explain postmenopausal osteoporosis
Need help talking to your doctor?
Prepare for your next appointment with this helpful questionnaire
Postmenopausal osteoporosis can occur in women after menopause when estrogen levels drop. It is a disease that makes your bones thinner and weaker—so that they are more likely to fracture or break. In fact, 1 in 2 women over age 50 will have a fracture due to osteoporosis in their lifetime.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is often called a "silent disease." This is because it can develop without you knowing it. You don't feel your bones getting weaker, nor can you see them getting weaker. Many women have no idea they have postmenopausal osteoporosis until the day a bone breaks.
Talk to your doctor about ways you can find out whether you have postmenopausal osteoporosis. The most commonly used test is called a DXA scan. It's a test your doctor can arrange for you.
Every woman past menopause should make strengthening her bones a priority. Here's why:
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a silent disease…
Learn about a medication for postmenopausal osteoporosis
2 shots a year can help strengthen bones and reduce your risk for fracture
Once you develop postmenopausal osteoporosis, it can be treated—but there is no "cure." If your doctor tells you that you are at high risk for fracture, then you can come up with a treatment plan together, which may include diet, calcium and vitamin D supplements, exercise, and medication.
Do not take Prolia® (denosumab) if you: have low blood calcium; or are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, as Prolia® may harm your unborn baby; or are allergic to denosumab or any ingredients in Prolia®.
What is the most important information I should know about Prolia®?
If you receive Prolia®, you should not receive XGEVA®. Prolia® contains the same medicine as XGEVA® (denosumab).
Prolia® can cause serious side effects:
Serious allergic reactions have happened in people who take Prolia®. Call your doctor or go to your nearest emergency room right away if you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including low blood pressure (hypotension); trouble breathing; throat tightness; swelling of your face, lips, or tongue; rash; itching; or hives.
Low blood calcium (hypocalcemia). Prolia® may lower the calcium levels in your blood. If you have low blood calcium, it may get worse during treatment. Your low blood calcium must be treated before you receive Prolia®.
Take calcium and vitamin D as your doctor tells you to help prevent low blood calcium.
Severe jaw bone problems (osteonecrosis) may occur. Your doctor should examine your mouth before you start Prolia® and may tell you to see your dentist. It is important for you to practice good mouth care during treatment with Prolia®.
Unusual thigh bone fractures. Some people have developed unusual fractures in their thigh bone. Symptoms of a fracture include new or unusual pain in your hip, groin, or thigh.
Increased risk of broken bones, including broken bones in the spine, after stopping Prolia®. After your treatment with Prolia® is stopped, your risk for breaking bones, including bones in your spine, is increased. Your risk for having more than 1 broken bone in your spine is increased if you have already had a broken bone in your spine. Do not stop taking Prolia® without first talking with your doctor. If your Prolia® treatment is stopped, talk to your doctor about other medicine that you can take.
Serious infections in your skin, lower stomach area (abdomen), bladder, or ear may happen. Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis) due to an infection may also happen more often in people who take Prolia®. You may need to go to the hospital for treatment.
Prolia® is a medicine that may affect the ability of your body to fight infections. People who have weakened immune systems or take medicines that affect the immune system may have an increased risk for developing serious infections.
Skin problems such as inflammation of your skin (dermatitis), rash, and eczema have been reported.
Bone, joint, or muscle pain. Some people who take Prolia® develop severe bone, joint, or muscle pain.
Before taking Prolia®, tell your doctor if you:
What are the possible side effects of Prolia®?
It is not known if the use of Prolia® over a long period of time may cause slow healing of broken bones. The most common side effects of Prolia® are back pain, pain in your arms and legs, high cholesterol, muscle pain, and bladder infection.
These are not all the possible side effects of Prolia®. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

In order to think about the world, we form…….. Concepts • A mental grouping of similar objects, events, ideas or people. • Concepts are similar to Piaget's idea of…. Schemas These animals all look different, but they fall under our concept of "dogs". We base our concepts on …. Prototypes • A mental image or best example of a category. •If a new object is similar to our prototype, we are better able to recognize it. If this was my prototype of a man; then what are you? How do we solve problems? Trial and Error Algorithms • A methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem. What are the benefits and detriments of algorithms? Big Bang Theory • The Friendship Algorithm Heuristics Who would you trust to baby-sit your child? • A rule-of-thumb strategy that often allows us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently. •A short cut (that can be prone to errors). Your answer is based on your heuristic of their appearances. Insight • A sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem. • AHA! moment •No real strategy involved Obstacles to problem solving Confirmation Bias • A tendency to search for information that confirms one's preconceptions. For example, if you believe that during a full moon there is an increase in admissions to the emergency room where you work, you will take notice of admissions during a full moon, but be inattentive to the moon when admissions occur during other nights of the month. Match Problem Can you arrange these six matches into four equilateral triangles? Match Problem Fixation • The inability to see a problem from a new perspective. Mental Set • A tendency to approach a problem in a particular way, especially if it has worked in the past. • May or may not be a good thing. Functional Fixedness • The tendency to think of things only in terms of their usual functions. What are some things I can do with this quarter (other than spend it)? Types of Heuristics (That often lead to errors) Representativeness Heuristic • A rule of thumb for judging the likelihood of things in terms of how well they match our prototype. • Can cause us to ignore important information. Below is Linda. She loves books and hates loud noises. Is Linda a librarian or a beautician? Chances are, she is a beautician!!! Availability Heuristic Although diseases kill many more people than accidents, it has been shown that people will judge accidents and diseases to be equally fatal. This is because accidents are more dramatic and are often written up in the paper or seen on the news on t.v., and are more available in memory than diseases. • Estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in our memory. •If it comes to mind easily (maybe a vivid event) we presume it is common. Overconfidence • The tendency to be more confident than correct. • To overestimate the accuracy of your beliefs and judgments. Considering "overconfidence" who you want to risk 1 million dollars on an audience poll? Framing • The way an issued is posed. • It can have drastic effects on your decisions and How do you think framing will play a part judgments. in this years election? Belief Bias • The tendency for one's preexisting beliefs to distort logical reasoning. 2. Dictators are not • Sometimes making Democrats. invalid conclusions valid or vice versa. Conclusion: Dictators do 1. Democrats support free speech not support free speech. Belief Perseverance • Clinging to your initial conceptions after the basis on which they were formed has been discredited. • "the reason people fight on campus" Language and Thought Its all about communication!!! Language • Our spoken written or gestured words and the way we combine them to communicate meaning. Believe it or not, this communication is a form of language!!! Phonemes How many phonemes does platypus have? • In a spoken language, the smallest distinctive sound unit. • Chug has three phonemes, ch, u, g. Morphemes • In a language, the smallest unit that carries meaning. • Can be a word or part of a word (prefix or suffix). Grammar • A system of rules in a language that enables us to communicate and understand others.

They usually have totally different symbols for different tenses. Syntax • The rules for combining words into grammatically sensible sentences. • In English, Is this the White adjectives come House or the House before nouns, but White? not in Spanish!! Language development • How many words do you think you know now? Probably around 80,000. After age 1 you average about 13 words a day. Language Development • Babbling Stage: starting at 3-4 months, the infant makes spontaneous sounds. Not limited to the phonemes of the infant's household language. •One-word stage: 1-2 years old, uses one word to communicate big meanings. •Two word stage: at age 2, uses two words to communicate meanings- called telegraphic speech. Language Development Holophrase: A single word used to express complex meanings Ex: "Mama" can mean "Come here, mama." "There goes mama." "You are my mama." Language Development Ages 2 and 3: • Sentences include missing words. • Combine phrases and clauses into complex sentences • Overregularization: grammatical rules (past tense and plurals) • I goed, sitted, seed Language Development Third year: Who, what, when, where, how questions emerge Age 4: Asking questions, take turns talking, lengthy conversations Age 6: 10, 000 words Age 7-9: Words have more than one meaning Genie •Brain damaged: from abuse or birth? •Rapidly learning language–then hit a wall. •Could not determine if language can be learned after puberty because of brain damage.

Skinner • Skinner thought that we can explain language development through social learning theory (which is?). The young boy imitates his dad, then gets a reward. Chomsky Inborn Universal Grammar • We acquire language too quickly for it to be learned. • We have this "learning box" inside our heads that enable us to learn any human language. Does language influence our thinking? Whorf's Linguistic Relativity • The idea that language determines the way we think (not vice versa). •The Hopi tribe has no past tense in their language, so Whorf says they rarely think of the past. Do people that speak more than one language think differently depending on their language at that time? Thinking without Language • We can think in words. • But more often we think in mental pictures. In 1977, Reggie Jackson hit 3 HR's against the Dodgers. He has stated that before each at bat, he visualizes crushing a home run. Do you think visualization helps? Do Animals think? Kohler's Chimpanzees • Kohler exhibited that Chimps can problem solve.

This is a great story. You have a very interesting and unique writing style (that's a good thing). I didn't really notice that your style had changed all that much over the course of the fic, but I'm sure you know better than I. I'd like to say all kinds of good things about the story in detail, but I don't have the energy to think right now, so just know that I really like it and hope that you haven't stopped writing or anything.

The Patient Experience
Our commitment to redefining health care
For too long, health care has been known for poor customer service, lack of respect for the patient, and a "one size fits all" mentality. To change this, Concentra had a bold vision:
But how does a company actually reach this goal? We believe it's by fundamentally changing the way health care is provided to patients. Concentra wants the patient experience to look and feel like this:
The Orange Book
To help us in our quest, we developed a guidebook for our employees, whom we call colleagues. It's divided into three sections — Welcoming, Respectful, Skillful — and provides specific, common sense actions like those shown above. It also includes how-to suggestions from other colleagues and quotes from patients.
We made the Orange Book pocket-size so colleagues could carry it with them and refer to it often. It's a little book with a big goal, but it's making a real difference as we work to redefine health care. Ask our colleagues to see a copy when you're in our centers.
Measuring Success
How do we know it's making a difference? We're asking our patients. Through follow-up telephone surveys, we're asking patients how their experience was, if they plan to come back, and if they'd recommend us to family or friends. Our ratings continue to rise, and we're confident our levels of customer service and patient care will rival the top service companies in the nation.
The Orange Book
The Orange Book is a little book with a big goal: to redefine the patient experience by performing welcoming, respectful, skillful actions … every colleague, every day, in every location.

LOL - GM wants to fire OBY as CEO
Remember how they begged the gov't to lend them over $50B and it did and OBY fired the
CEO and ran the company himself?
Now they want out of the Gov't and the Gov't
says no way as selling now will cause the gov't to
lose money.
GM wants to do away with the pay restrictions
in order to attract top talent. This is what
happens when you sell your soul to the devil.
It's Gov't Motors now.
Welcome to Socialism GM. It is here to stay.
Me thinks the gov't is still pissed about the banks not adhering
to the restrictions imposed on them with all that TARP money.
They were supposed to loan it out to the people but hoarded it
making billions on interest before paying it all back while 11
banks acquired 77% of all US bank accounts. Meanwhile, millions lost their homes. They're not going to fool around with GM.

Out of IMI's1997 sales of pounds 1.43bn, 10 per cent now comes from Pepsi, Coca-Cola and McDonalds. Sustained demand from the US for the engineering company's products helped drive up sales by 12 per cent in 1997. Overall group profits before tax and exceptional items rose 7 per cent to pounds 146.5m but the strong pound meant IMI missed out on a further pounds 20m on the bottom line. IMI's basic pre-tax profits fell from pounds 161.1m to pounds 148.9m but the 1996 figure was distorted by pounds 26m of exceptional gains.
In an attempt to counter the strong pound it put pounds 7m worth of restructuring costs through last year and this will be repeated in 1998 as overheads are hacked back.
Out of IMI's four core areas: building products, drinks dispense, fluid power and special engineering, the later has been taking the biggest knocks. IMI closed its Yorkshire Alloys subsidiary and further assets in this area are earmarked for disposal.
But IMI has also been protecting itself with acquisitions and says this strategy will be continued in the second half of this year. The US and continental Europe are the more favoured regions at present .
Last year IMI beefed up its foreign presence, buying the Swiss-based industrial valve operations of Sulzer. It also bought plumbing products group, TA Hydraulics of Sweden, and Wilshire Corporation of the US.
It's remarkable to think back 20 years to when IMI was spun off from ICI. In those days 85 per cent of IMI's business came from the UK, now it is 30 per cent.
IMI is doing all the right things. Even with the home economy tipped to slow further, analysts expect IMI will make around pounds 160m pre-tax profits this year.
That would put the company, whose shares rose 8.5p to 458p yesterday, on a multiple of 15 times in line with the sector. The stock is worth holding on to.

It was too late. Before Nymm could say anything else, arrows shot out from the trees. Ceris flung herself to the ground, just as an arrow whistled past her head. It stuck into the tree behind her, waking it. Its branches writhed in pain. Leaves flew in all directions.
The workmen were already running towards her. Ceris bent to pick up her quiver which had fallen from her back. Nymm hurried over, waving a sword haphazardly round his head.
The workmen yelled as they approached. Nymm whistled, and the tree suddenly leapt into action. Seemingly forgetting the pain it was in, it swung leafy branches at the workmen, knocking down some and missing others. Roots sprung out of the ground, and one of the foremen tripped and fell, knocking himself out.
Two workmen fought their way past the onslaught of flying foliage. They grabbed Ceris.
'Get off her, you psychos! She's done nothing wrong!' Nymm lashed out with his sword, barely nicking the arm of one of the men. They returned with a powerful punch and kick, and he doubled up.
He grasped his throbbing leg, watching helplessly as they hauled his friend into the back of their horrible van. They gagged her and slung her in restraints. He couldn't drag himself fast enough to stop them driving away.

Groan-worthy British musical comedy from the days before rock'n'roll. Cole (at his spivviest) and Morgan are a couple of hard-pressed songwriters, about to be chucked out of their digs by landlady Harrison, when they get their big break - fellow lodger Demongeot, a young mademoiselle in England for her studies, manages to sell one of their tunes to the Ted Heath orchestra. The ensuing complications are unsurprising, but there are enough familiar faces in the cast to make you feel at home, and a pleasing diversion when our chaps pass off a backwards recording as their new progressive jazz opus 'City of Lost Souls'.

Today's announcement of the first-quarter's consumer prices index will not have been news to her or indeed most people in China. Rising prices are an increasingly difficult feature of life, particularly for the elderly and the lower-income families.
Statistics can be pretty dry at the best of times. But the Chinese economy is under pressure and the quarterly figures are of more than passing interest to most.
The big number to watch is the CPI, the measure of inflation. This is the figure that is guiding government policy. The year-on-year rate for March was 5.4%, some way above the official target. The quarterly rate was 5% up but, more interestingly, there was a slight fall in prices between March and February.
Initial reactions seem positive, with polite murmurings about the government's approach, and imported raw material inflation gets the bogeyman prize. It's underlined by producer prices showing a quarterly increase of 7.1%.
Last week, the petrol price rose by some 5%. This price is controlled by the government, set by an obscure formula and it was probably less than world prices might have indicated.
One unexpected consequence has been an upsurge in Chinese media interest in the Middle East. The upheavals there had been rather played down so far. Now everyone is really interested in what is happening in Libya.
However, the CPI shows another picture. The quarter's big risers were food (11%), housing (6.5%) and healthcare (3.1%), the most important expenditure items for households.
Food is a major social and psychological item in China. Many can still remember the shortages of the Mao era. So double-digit food inflation hits deep. Blame international prices, water shortages, evil speculators or just the fact people expect more and can afford to buy more. They all contribute.
Supply shortages and increased demand are both driving price rises. But this has left many with limited resources in a difficult position.
Meanwhile, the housing price bubble continues to grow. The government has taken measures to deflate it but to little effect. Total real estate investment showed a 34.1% quarterly gain, of which residential was 37.4%. Underlying this is the fact that sales of land are a major source of income for local governments throughout China. They aren't going to give that up lightly.
But there are also some who really don't believe the inflation is genuine. They think producers have used it as an excuse to increase profits.
It is also well known that hoarding of goods has taken place to inflate prices artificially. This has created a deep mistrust of the system.
So what's the solution? The government is desperate to get inflation under control but it also needs to keep GDP up and the population in employment.
So far GDP is holding up with a 9.7% quarterly increase. But there is still too much government money going into fixed-asset investment. Roads and bridges are a quick fix only and don't have the lasting benefit of more productive investment. Government expenditure will continue to be one of the drivers of inflation.
In the past, China's GDP has been investment and export-led. Both of these need to be overtaken by more domestic consumption.
This is the primary aim of the present five-year plan. Exports and imports grew strongly in the quarter, but for the first time in six years there was a trade deficit. The economy needs rebalancing and inflation is making this rather difficult.
Monetary weapons are being deployed, with interest rates tweaked again last week for the fourth time in six months. Bank reserve ratios now stand at 20% after another 0.5% increase last month. But lending continues to rise as do concerns about the quality of the banks' loan books.
This week the government tried a new approach and asked associations of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce to get their private company members to limit price rises.
Will this work? Great if it does - the Party still wants everyone to be happy bunnies in the year of the rabbit.

Aug 4, 2006 at 8:16 am #1219193
While waiting for my machine to get fixed, I decided to cut out some fabric for some other projects. I got a poncho pattern from somewhere, with extra length to use to cover a backpack.
I'm vaguely wanting to use this as a possible tarp too, but I'll have to see how it goes.
The pattern calls for snaps on the edge when worn as a poncho. I'm thinking velcro instead. Any feedback on the wisdom of that?
DwightAug 4, 2006 at 10:40 am #1360441
Velcro has the unfortunate habit of clinging to things you might rather it didn't. I use sew-on snaps, myself.
If you are rolling your own poncho/tarp, you might be interested in this method of handling the problem of the lines: The photos show square reinforcements that evert to form pouches to hold the guy lines. This is most useful when hammock camping since you always need guy lines. It is less handy for regular tarping if you use a leanto or 1/2 pyramid since one side is on the ground and can be staked without guy lines.

That is a very slick solution to the ever-present guy-line storage annoyance.Aug 5, 2006 at 6:22 pm #1360546
Yep, it works fine if you always need guy lines – as you do when covering a hammock. For a leanto or 1/2 pyramid where one side of the tarp is staked directly to the ground, the guy lines are superfluous, but it doesn't hurt to have them there.Aug 5, 2006 at 8:31 pm #1360559
Thanks Vic. That's pretty slick.
I was thinking today about your comment about Velcro sticking to all sorts of things you didn't want it to stick to.
I began thinking of doing a velcro flap.
Sew two small lengths of hook and loop to a piece of nylon, so you have flap that can close over on itself. Sew the hook side to the poncho. On the mating half, do the exact opposite, so when the flaps are all open, they'll mate and stick. When done, close them on themselves and they don't catch anything.
But then you have to worry about getting all those flaps open in a downpour.
Maybe I just need to get comfortable with a snap. Just seems like they'll pull out too easy if you're not careful.

Sew on snaps are surprisingly strong and durable. Make sure you get ones that are large enough to operate by headlamp light with cold, wet fingernails. You'll find a nice variety of sizes at any fabric store. Also may be found in the sewing section of your local grocery or drug store.Aug 6, 2006 at 8:23 am #1360588
Al is dead on. Sew-on snaps are extremely durable. And size matters. I use the largest I can find for my poncho/cape because the angle of pull can come from any direction and small snaps come undone.Aug 7, 2006 at 5:31 am #1360630
At first I thought these might have a small square of material attached, and you just sew the material down.
But from looking at drawings in the web, and they are not too details drawings, it looks like there are holes around the outsides of the snaps that you use to sew the snap down. Is that right?Aug 7, 2006 at 9:30 am #1360635
Sew on snaps are just like buttons; they have holes along the edges andyou just take a needle and thread and whip them on.
BTW, they make plastic sew-ons, but they are useless. The largest metal ones are reasonably light and actually work. If you have button-hole capacity on your sewing maching, you can also use buttons. They are low tech, but work just fine. Orient the button holes along the hem – not across it.Aug 7, 2006 at 10:31 am #1360638

Every four years I get a jackass for my birthday, regardless of party.
I met some poor guy once, born in October of 1952. Name was Dwight Adlai something-or-other. Now that is cruel.Aug 7, 2006 at 5:28 pm #1360659
I'll try the metal ones then. I hate sewing buttons by hand though. I do have a button foot for my machine, but I want to be really careful when trying to sew a metal object.
So, with these things, there's no need for any holes through the tarp, except for the thread holes?
Just got my newest shipment from Quest. 3 layer WPB for my bivy, replacement cordura for the straps I screwed to hell on this G4 bag, and some extra to make some larger waist belt pads.
Figure I'll make a first run on the Meteor bivy with this cheap chocolate stuff I bought for the bottom, and the cheap ripstop I got for the top. Then, if its too claustrophic, I'll nudge things a bit wider when I use the expensive spread.Aug 7, 2006 at 7:07 pm #1360664
Jackass for birthday. Yeah, the rest of us feel like we've been getting one got one, too. Every 4 years.
My son-in-law was presented with a donkey for his birthday about 3 years ago. It keeps trying to kill him.Aug 7, 2006 at 7:10 pm #1360666
Holes through fabric> Nope, only the stitching – but you want to backup the snap on silnylon with something more substantial unless the snap is on the hem. The stitching and backup will hold silicone sealant very well. No leak problems .. and unless you are making a cape, the snaps will all be on the hem.
RE the rest> prototypes are good.Aug 16, 2006 at 12:36 am #1361186

Vick, you have the best sewing tips! When I made rain poncho/tarps last weekend, I incorporated guyline pouches. Inspired by military ponchos, I would like to be able to snap two together to make one big shelter. Do you think sew on snaps would handle this application or do you have a better suggestion?Aug 16, 2006 at 8:39 am #1361201
I have not found a good way to put two ponchos together. If anyone has an idea they have used and that works well, please advise.
And please, idle speculation is a waste of everyone's time.
The traditional technique for joining army shelter halves was a line of snaps with a generous flap over the seam. I have seen zipped ponchos that try to do the same thing. I have not done either successfully using UL fabrics. I would like to know if anyone has.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
A satisfied ex-driver for Florilli
SUBMITTED: Sunday, October 30, 2016POSTED: Sunday, October 30, 2016
I drove for Florilli for six years in the early to mid 90's, only leaving because of health issues. I made money, alot of it, and their equipment in those days, was top of the line, conventional pete's. I loved working for them and they always paid on time and gave me as many miles as I wanted. I can't say I always ran legal but I can say they were great to work for and any runs that may have not always been legal were my choice and mine alone. I never had any issues with them and I always found that the ownere was willing to listen to any concerns I may have had. Their maintenance dept. was top notch and I never had any issues with them in the service department. I don't know if everyone, evidently not, had the same experience as I did or not but i do know that had i not had a seizure that ended my truck driving for them, or anyone else, I would still be working from them today. I miss the job and the company.

published June 1st 2002
"[In creating] the basic dimensions of the sustainable and humane city – the 'eco-city' … 'placemaking' is the pivotal missing component in the commonly pursued strategies of smart growth. Placemaking provides the link between urban excellence, economic development and sustainability." – Larry Beasley, former Vancouver, BC Co-Director of Planning and PPS training course participant.
As we've moved out from our towns, cities and close-in suburbs, we've neglected the special places that bring people together and give them a sense of belonging. These places – like parks, central squares, main streets and downtowns – help fuel community livability. In combating sprawl, one of the most important things we can do is reclaim our existing communities and rejuvenate these crucial public environments. By retrieving their basic people-friendly infrastructure, restoring their walkability and attractiveness and promoting living/working/playing activities all mixed together, we can create communities where people will want to be.
The problems of sprawl are by now familiar to most Americans: its propensity for eating up our land, destroying our environment, and creating neighborhoods with little or no sense of place.
On a macro level, one of the most important steps in counteracting sprawl is to improve existing built-up areas with compact patterns of development. There are thousands of communities like this throughout the United States; even suburban areas not known for compactness offer intact infrastructure that can be reshaped. By building livable, sustainable communities upon this existing framework, we can give people a good reason to stay put in – or come back to – older areas, and provide development opportunities that reduce the need to spread out.
On a micro level, communities are successfully combating sprawl by creating and restoring special places that bring people together and energize community life. These places – plazas, central squares, transit stations, main streets and downtowns – can both support and spur the renewal of compact communities that many people have begun gravitating to, searching for the comfort, convenience and connection they find missing in spread-out, isolated developments. Compact communities allow people to mingle in parks and other public spaces; walk to shopping, schools, and other daily destinations on attractive, lively streets; and use public transit instead of constantly bucking stop-and-go-traffic.
Improvements at the micro level are the essential yeast for rebuilding sprawl-contrary "old town" communities.
At Project for Public Spaces, our approach to creating anti-sprawl, community-building places involves looking at, listening to, and asking questions of the people in a community. We learn about their problems and aspirations, and work with them to create a vision around the places they view as important, both to community life and their daily experience. We then help them to implement their ideas, beginning with short-term, often experimental improvements that can quickly add value to a place while demonstrating its future potential. Our experience has consistently shown that if the community is asked to define its problems from the start – rather than merely review a solution to an externally defined problem – the process becomes more meaningful and efficient.
Placemaking Opportunities for Smart Growth Impacts Include:
- Developing streets and transit facilities to increase pedestrian activity and advance economic development and community livability goals;
- Creating parks, plazas and central squares which become focal points for pedestrian activity;
- Creating local business opportunities and enlivening commercial districts with public markets, vending and other entrepreneurial activities and events; and
- Shaping public buildings, including libraries, courthouses and other public institutions, to become centers of community life and activity.
More traditional approaches to eliminating sprawl include land use plans, land preservation through acquisition, growth boundaries and development of new traditional neighborhoods. These tools are important, but they bring us only halfway to a solution. As writer Jane Holtz Kay said, "For all the far-flung new-towning, it is old-towning we need." This "old-towning" must start at the basic, human-scale, daily life level: the street corner or transit plaza, a neighborhood park or downtown main street. Improvements at this micro level – the establishment of public markets selling local products, redesigned streets, rejuvenated parks – are the essential yeast for rebuilding those sprawl-contrary "old town" communities.
One of the most important things we can do to combat sprawl is to reclaim our existing communities and rejuvenate public environments.
What are the substantial obstacles we face in re-building our communities?
- Entire communities and downtowns are choked by traffic, which makes neighborhoods less safe for residents and pedestrians, less conducive to walking, and discourages easily accessible destinations.
- Privately controlled environments such as shopping centers and malls are replacing parks, town squares and genuinely public spaces, which accommodate a wide range of activities important to the civic, economic and social life of communities.
- Fragmentation and disconnection in the siting and planning of community institutions, such as post offices, museums and retail centers, creates more traffic and less convenience and access for the residential communities that they serve.
- Public transit facilities are disconnected from the needs of the communities in which they are located – less convenience means less ridership.
- Bland and lifeless-looking architecture in downtown areas, which often replaces well-scaled historic buildings and places having real life and vitality.
- A lack of opportunities to incubate new businesses and encourage entrepreneurial activity in communities, especially disadvantaged ones.
In combating sprawl, one of the most important things we can do is reclaim our existing communities and rejuvenate crucial public environments. By restoring a basic people-friendly infrastructure, creating walkability and attractiveness and promoting "mixed-use" activities – living, working, playing – we can create communities where people want to be. It's a much more livable alternative to the search for "greener pastures" that turn out to be not so green – or great – after all.
Smart Growth through Grassroots Placemaking:
PPS has broad experience working at the federal, state and local levels. But our core work is facilitating the desire for change at the grassroots level. The grassroots approach helps rebuild lost trust in government, encouraging "customers" to collaborate with government assistance instead of resisting what they perceive is interference in their home rule. By starting with community needs and aspirations; PPS also is able to develop a proactive vision of what people want, through compelling visual presentations and visioning workshops. PPS also can facilitate agency-to-community dialogue to decode agency initiatives and build local demand for Smart Growth tools, strategies, and services.
A Placemaking approach to Smart Growth:
· Brings in new and "unlikely" partners
· Identifies short–term opportunities that are small scale and cost effective
· Leverages existing infrastructure and assets, funding and projects
· Builds community partnerships, grassroots support and capacity for implementation
· Transforms the way we think of the role of our streets, parks, public buildings, farmers markets, and new development.
· Attracts commitment and investment for bold new visions
Smart Growth and Sprawl www.smartgrowth.org
The concept of Smart Growth stems from an increasing awareness that growth and development, although inevitable, can be channeled to contain sprawl. In this view, growth, rather than being cut off completely, needs to be planned from the bottom up and balanced within a regional context. This requires the recognition that development can be economically viable and at the same time protect the environment, promote livability, and preserve open space and natural resources. It also requires government policies that support this view, such as regulations that allow for greater density, brownfield development, recycling of existing infrastructure and development of transportation alternatives. The Smart Growth Network, by bringing together national, regional and local coalitions, is building an alliance of diverse stakeholders who can effect Smart Growth change in their own communities and coalesce to broadly influence new directions in public policy.

John Livesley, emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, resigned last summer from the Personality and Personality Disorders Work Group of DSM-5 because he was so appalled by the vagueness, inconsistency and "stunning disregard for evidence" that characterized the process of revising diagnoses of personality. (This is the category that includes sociopaths, narcissists and borderline personality, among others.)
"Alas," he says, "the DSM is influenced by a large number of factors besides scientific evidence."
Often, those making the decisions are established figures who are settled in their thinking and resist new ideas, not unlike the old psychoanalysts who were unable to incorporate fresh insights questioning female "penis envy," or whatever begged for a double-take. They are Ivory Tower figures, too. "Many members of the Work Group," Dr. Livesley points out, "do not see patients regularly and some have never or only rarely seen patients."
It is easier to ponder how many angels can dance on the head of a pin when no angel is present to argue.
Here is another concern with the trajectory of the DSM: It has been steadily undermining the importance and credibility of the major mental illnesses, which deserve most of medicine's attention and resources. "The DSM evolved as a language of communication between clinicians and researchers," says psychiatrist David Goldbloom, current chair of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, "so that they could be talking about the same observed phenomena when they summarized it with a diagnostic label. I don't think it was conceived of as a biblical embodiment of absolute diagnostic truth of disease, even if people use/see/fear it that way. There are no biological markers for any psychiatric disorder presently. Genes code for proteins, not for the DSM. While I understand the heat about DSM-5 and share the concern about its potential to medicalize normative human experience … it is unlikely to change the severity of who I see as a clinician. The concern about DSM-5 seems to be at its margins."
At its margins, which is where many of us – the bereaved, the heartbroken, the flat-broke – reside, this is about what story we want to tell ourselves about who we are. Our narratives, as we live and ascribe meaning to them, are richer and more nuanced than what is laid out in a set of behavioural criteria, or a shrinking number of physical symptoms. This is why the APA has received such vigorous push-back on the current revisions. Unwittingly, the DSM-5 revisionists are contributing to an impoverishment of meaning, and it may be that the need to generate meaning, to make sense of experience, is more important to our wellness – at these margins – than drugs.
"Psychiatry has entered the new era of the DSM, yet none of the many evaluations carried out in its name in the U.S. and Europe has shown significant or lasting improvement in the mental health of their citizens," wrote Patrick Landman, the French psychiatrist who is part of a movement to boycott the new edition. "To cite just one of many possible examples, between 2000 and 2009, the consumption of antidepressants in the OECD countries increased by an average of 60 per cent. No study has shown a decline in the prevalence of depression. Quite the contrary: The suicide rate in Iceland, a country that consumes the highest amount of antidepressants per capita, has been constant for the past 10 years."
Awkward data, that. Unfortunately, it's also quantifiable.
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article on psychology incorrectly described Aaron Beck as a psychologist. Dr. Beck, the inventor of cognitive-behavioural therapy is a psychiatrist.Report Typo/Error

De Niro and Norton down for acting rematch in "Stone"
By Cameron French
TORONTO (Reuters) - "Stone," an ambiguous and dark drama premiering at the Toronto Film Festival, may not be an easy story for some audiences , but the nuanced tale was a draw for acting heavyweights Robert De Niro and Edward Norton.
"I always liked the script," De Niro said of "Stone," which deals with hypocrisy and guilt, and is set in the rapidly decaying environs of post-recession Detroit.
"I thought the whole thing had an interesting tone and feel about it," the Oscar winner told Reuters in an interview.
De Niro plays Jack Mabry, a prison parole officer just days from retirement who has to deal with the manipulative Gerald "Stone" Creeson as one of his final assignments.
Played menacingly by Norton with cornrows and a hard stare, Stone is not above using his sexy wife Lucetta -- model-actor Milla Jovovich in a shift from her "Resident Evil" action films -- as the bait to force Jack to recommend an early release.
However, the line between criminal and upstanding citizen blur as Stone undergoes a spiritual transformation, while Jack's encounters with Lucetta pressure his already decaying marriage and force him to compromise his own principles.
None of the characters are easy to sympathize with, and the film's ending could best be described as ambiguous.
"I think that most of the films that I've really been affected by in my life have been the ones that really left me with a lot of questions in my head, a lot to think about," Norton told Reuters. Continued...

This is my first time EVER writing a review for anything. My terrible experience has to be shared to forewarn the world about Tusek's service. As a pub defender, Tusek started off my criminal and traffic case very professional, gave me hope and seemed like he was on my side. After our 1st court apperance Tusuk literally became impossible to contact, and he seemed to be more focused on me pleaing guilty than trying to prove my innocence. He refused to file any motions that would better my case, did not follow through with any of the background work to look into my case and he lacked knowledge of the details of my case, then expected/encouraged me to plea guilt!!!! To make matters worst, exactly 2 days before my trail date without any forewarning tusek withdrew from my case which placed me in an even worst situation. Long story short, he has poor communication, poor work ethic, did not put his best foot foward when working on my case, and he seemed to be working with the state instead of working for the defendents best interest. Although I'm sure my case could've been won with a public defender, I was forced to hire a private attorney who would take my case and I more serious.

The always reliable producer Frenchie has dropped another great riddim, this one is called Fairground, and is a nice piece of energetic modern roots reggae.
It's voiced by I-Octane, Konshens, Luciano and Fantan Mojah, and is now available as 7" in all good record stores. In late July it will also be made available as digital download on iTunes.
Maximum Sound has had some great releases in 2011. In April the label dropped the acclaimed riddims Sound Exterminata, Ghetto State, with elements from Half Pint's 'One Big Ghetto', and Skateland Killer, based on Eek-A-Mouse's 'Star, Daily News and Gleaner'.
If you're curious on how Fairground riddim sounds you can listen Maximum Sound's megamix of the riddim below, which also includes cuts from Chris Martin, Cecile and Zinc Fence featuring Stylo G.
