O! Pack of wafer thin turkey ham,
I love your processed pink,
Reconditioned, compressed meat.
Tightly vacuum packed in plastic sleeve.
Sweating unashamedly on discount shelf.
Battered box; yellow stickered underbelly,
62 pence down from 2.29
Leap into my basket -
Let me take you home.
Scan and bag. You are mine.
O! Pack of wafer thin turkey ham,
Perhaps I'll serve you up between
The crusts of value buttered bread.
With cut-price Branston and morally bereft (but markedly reduced) battery eggs.
A meal fit for a shelf trawler's dream.
Expectant I fling wide the cupboard door-
Not even a putrid, orange bean.
O! Pack of wafer thin turkey ham,
Do not despair
You are fine just as you are.
For tonight a feast
Solely of your fowl slithers
Snuck slice by slice from fridge.
Yes, tonight it shall be I who gobbles,
(for you no longer squawk)
Pretending as you are
to be a piece of pork.
Now you may laugh when I tell you that I have only recently realised that turkey ham is in fact...wait for it...made of turkey!!! There is a clue that Bernard Matthews is the biggest turkey meat seller in the UK and of course the small matter of the products name (ahem,blush). I won't get into why I thought it was called "Turkey" ham as I feel silly enough as it is 8^P
For those who are unfamiliar with the product turkey ham is a TURKEY based sandwich meant, it is thinly sliced and unlike regular ham it isn't neatly layed in a pile but rather rusticly thrown together in a big clump. It has an unmistakable taste but not one I would immediately equate with Turkey, as I've mentioned earlier I was quite happy to taste it as porky for so long.
It has a lovely salty flavour and a real savouryness to it, each slice is thin meaning a good 5 or 6 layers must be employed to make the perfect sandwich (all depending on personal taste of course).
You do get the occasional clear fatty bit or small gristly area but this isn't anything to fuss over too much, it gives the meat character (theres a sentence I never thought I'd say).
Now you should probably know a little something about me, I have a fetish for a good ham roll (no that's not a euphamism). I luuuuurve a good few slices of ham lovingly slapped into a crusty bread roll, in my opinion that's the absolute best way to enjoy turkey ham although it also goes well in omelettes, in a salad or even just on it's own.
Reccomended to anyone who likes ham but not necessarily anyone who likes turkey as this product doesn't taste at all like the festive feathered bird (at least not to me anyway).
I have been buying Bernard Matthews wafer thin turkey ham for as long as I can remember. There are always cheaper kinds of ham in store when shopping and I must admit I have tried a few to save a bit money but I must be honest and say that I always end up back with this one. Bernard Matthews's ham is more expensive than other brands if you shop at a supermarket and can be over £2.00 per smaller pack but I get mine from farm foods where I get the large pack for £2.00.
I had heard of Bernard Matthews before from there turkey drummer range and I really enjoy them so that is what made me originally want to try the ham. The packaging is rather simple and on the front is a picture of grass and a sandwich and the underside is clear.
The first thing you notice about this ham upon opening is the smell. I think personally that it smells a bit smoked however it isn't. The ham is wafer thin and not placed carefully in a pack as usual it is more of less chucked in and goes where it wants. The ham is very moist and stays that way even when the pack has been opened a while.
Each 30g serving of turkey ham contains:
Calories: 21
Sugar: 0.2g
Fat: 0.8g
Saturates: 0.2
Salt: 0.5g
This ham really is delicious and due to it being very moist and tasty it makes it the nicest ham I have ever tasted. I hate how some ham tastes very bland and processed yet this one doesnt at all. The taste is meaty and different with the turkey flavour.
I use this ham in lots of different meals and some suggestions could be:
Overall the quality of this ham speaks for itself and it is always on my shopping list. As I mentioned earlier it can be rather expensive in stores but it is definitely worth a look around or visit a farm foods if you can. I would definitely recommend this and I'm sure you will love it.
My wife is a big lover of this meat and I always thought it smelt pretty nice, but never bothered about eating it. It always looked a bit slimy and fatty, and the pinkness of the Meat didn't look that natural. Then again a product called Turkey Ham suren't isn't all that natural.
This is made by Bernard Matthews. He of the famous Turkey Twizzlers and other dubious products.
You can get this in 170g packs, or 340g packs. It isn't that expensive and I think the wife paid £1.19 for the 170g pack the other week. You get a good amount of slices in the pack as well as the slives are quite small, round in shape and all folded up together.
It states that you should use this within 3 days of opening. I don't bother much about things like this, but my wife was put off this meat about 6 months ago when she bought the big pack, it was open for about a week, and she had it all covered up.She had been using it, but didn't look at it for a couple of days, then when she went back to use it, it was covered with white and green spots - yuk. She has now put that incident behind her but will only buy the smaller packs. The best before date on it is pretty good at a few weeks ahead.
THis is pretty tasty meat, as I succumbed to eating this the other week. You can taste the Turkey through this, and it is a smokey, taste. Can't taste the Ham bit, don't know where that comes in.
I had this in a Pitta Bread filled with this, salad and a bit cheese and it made for a a nice tasty snack.
Not the best quality Meat and I didn't bother to look at the ingredients, as i'm sure they would be a bit offputting, but I will eat this again quite happily.
I really like This cold meat, as I think it is tasty and has a nice smokey flavour to it. It is also quite cheap as well.
You can buy this in 2 different sized packs. The 170g, which costs about £1.50 and the 340g pack, which is around £2.80. A couple of weeks ago Tesco was selling the 340g pack for half price, so £1.40 for a big pack of cold meat. I think I ate it every day on my sandwiches and probably sickened myself in the process.
You get loads of slices in the pack. The meat is really thin, and I tend to put about 6 slices on my sandwich to build up the flavour. the slices are circular and when you open the pack you get this lovely smell of the meat coming out.
The pack is just either a square shape for the 170g, or a rectangular one for the 340g. The pack is quite deep as well. The plastic is see through, and it has a peel back lid. The lid is a blue colour with the writing in red and a nice picture of a sandwich stuffed with Turkey Ham.
Each slice is 8 calories, so can be eaten an a calorie controlled diet.
The only thin I don't like is that some of the slices are quite wet, and since the slices are normally wrapped all together and you have to pull them apart, then you've got to feel the slimey slices. Not sure why some are like this and others aren't. I know there is water added to this meat, but surely not that much! It's only a minor gripe, and the pro's certainly outweigh the cons.
A great cold meat to have in the house.
I have just had a sandwich and bowl of soup for my dinner and was happy to see my mum had brought some of my favourite wafer thin ham made by Bernard Matthews.
It is very thin ham and they were right to call it wafer thin and it is perfect I think because I don't like thick ham on sandwiches.
It's turkey instead of pork but tastes like normal ham but it hasn't got quite a strong flavour as other ham we buy. It is smoked and that gives it a delicious taste just like bacon.
I had mine on a sandwich with salad today but my mum mixes it with soft cheese sometimes for a flling when we are having baked potato. I like the way it looks all scrunched up in the packet and you have to untangle it a bit before you can put it on your sandwich.
Its very low in fat and calories so it is good for people on a diet.
A packet costs about £1 and that is good value cos its a really tasty ham that everyone in this house likes.
This has to be my least favourite sandwich filling - whilst on one of my health kicks a few years ago I picked this up in an effort to strip a fe calouries off my lunchtime sandwich.
However I have decided the cost of the calories is well worth it after eating this. The description wafer thin is perfect - I don't think that you could make it much thinnner if you tried. The slices all stick together in the packet so it makes it really difficult to leaf and layer an few slices you just seem to end up with a blob of meat!.
The amount of water that seemed to be in the bottom of the packet was excessive I feel, but I suppose better in the bottom of the packet than in the meat - but at the end of the day I am paying for the weight of that water.
The taste isn't great either. I really wouldn't say it tasted like turkey and the smell is a bit strong and overpowering. The texture is quite synthetic aswell.
All round not very pleasant and I won't be buying it again.
I first tasted this when I was on one of my mad dieting phases, i joined weight watchers, so trying to maximise my points i opted to try this, so I could eat more for my 20 point allowance. Surprisingly i liked it.
It is not a diet food, and not advertised as one, but becasue it is so low in fat, alot of dieters use it.
The best thing about this product is that it does not compromise on taste, so much so that i use it in my kids packed lunches, and often find them stealing out of the fridge to eat as a snack when they are looking for something to devour.
It is also a great price too, the larger 340 grams is between £1.94 and £2.00 depending where you shop, which is great value, because it is thinly sliced, it goes along way too
This is great in salads, on a sandwhich, and i have used it in omlets, and scambled eggs, so is adaptable for cooking with.
Now I do really like this turkey ham. It comes in a plastic square carton with Bernard Matthews famous logo on the top of the label. I first bought it when I was on a diet, the slices are really thin and low in fat, it says on the packet it is 95% fat free, so I thought I would give it a go.
You can buy it in two different pack sizes 170g and 340g and I find that it lasts a long time before it goes out of date, that is if it isn't eaten first. I tend to buy the 170g pack which costs about £1.
I usually have it in a sandwich with lettuce and cucumber and I must say it is the nicest prepacked ham I have ever tasted and I find it very moreish - although that isn't too good if you are watching your weight!
The most important values per 100 grams are
103 calories - which is really good considering that is more than half the packet.
4.1g fat - which is okay
1.2g sat fat - which is a reasonable low amount
1.0g sugar - I would never have even thought that there was sugar in it!
2.5g salt - which is really high actually so do be careful of your intake
The only thing which I think this could do with is a resealable lid as it will go dry if it is left open so make sure you wrap it in cling film when you are storing it in the fridge.
We're in the middle of a British summer, the glorious weather... well you might get 5 minutes sun in-between the rain so take advantage of them and go on a picnic! That's what my husband and I have been doing a lot lately and the perfect food to take on a picnic is sandwiches.
We are always looking for something new to put in them so when I came across Bernard Matthews Wafer Thin Turkey Ham about a week ago I decided I'd have to try it. It only costs £1.66 for 340g in Tesco's, that's quite cheap for such a large amount of ham. Bernard Matthews are the best producer of cooked turkey for sandwiches in the U.K they're a brand you can trust to be really good quality. This meat is made from animals in Norfolk, Suffolk and Linconshire.
The ham comes in a thin plastic tray with a plastic layer over the top to keep it airtight. The plastic on the top of the box has a picture of two sandwiches filled with the turkey ham and lettuce, it looks very nice, this is on a plain blue background with a picture of a field at the top. It also has the words: BIG VALUE PACK on the bottom of the packet. On the back are the ingredients and all the other need to know information.
Turkey (60%), Water, Potato & Rice Starch, Salt, Dextrose, Milk Protein, Lactose, Stabilisers (Sodium Diphosphates), Whey Protein, Rosemary Extract, Antioxidant (Sodium Ascorbate), Flavouring, Garlic Flavouring, Smoke Flavouring, Preservative (Sodium Nitrite)
Per 37.5g serving there is:
54 Calories and 2.6g of fat
Those who are allergic to milk should avoid this product as for some strange reason they have decided to put milk into it.
It needs to be stored in the fridge but doesn't need cooking; it's ready to eat as it is. It doesn't really smell of anything when you open the packet. The ham is a pale yellowy colour and is cut into a circular shape. It does indeed taste of turkey which is good. It isn't too dry either.
Overall I think that this is a good product with an 8 out of ten.
Did you notice I didn't include the word Gobble in my title? For today I thought I'd dispense with the crude world of double entendres and pay homage to the simplicity that is Bernard Matthews.
OK, so I ended up with this wafer thin cooked turkey by accident. A rather STUPID accident (Mark!) but an accident none the less. I sent Mark to Tesco for some turkey for a stir fry, thinking he'd pick a couple of turkey breasts up. Unfortunately, Mark wasn't blessed with the common sense gene and arrived home carrying a suspiciously light carrier bag containing..... yep, you guessed it, Bernard Matthews wafer thin turkey ham... Obviously we won't be having stir fry tonight so I thought we'd just have a sandwich and crisps for tea.
Looking at the ingredients, I see this meat is made up of 60% turkey and although there are many other things in this list (including E numbers 407, 451, 450 and 452) there isn't really anything to add bulk to it so I'm quite confident that what I'm eating is more or less meat. There are 54 calories in a 37g portion and 2.6g fat, which isnt too bad compared to a certain pack of butter roast turkey strips which I bought in Iceland last week!
Peeling the lid back (or rather peeling it halfway back and then having to cut because it got stuck), a smell comes out of the packet. It's not a very pleasant aroma and is quite a musty smell. This goes in literally seconds and you're left with... well, no smell at all unless you're in the habit of sticking pieces of turkey up your nose - then there's a vague smell of meat. The first thing to do when you buy a packet of this meat is to separate each slice of turkey from it's neighbour and stick it in a plastic box so you can pop it in the fridge when you've taken out what you need.
The slices of turkey are cut into pale slices and I'm pleasantly surprised when I nibble on one whilst doing the sandwiches. I don't really eat a lot of turkey as I find it too dry and lacking in flavour but this turkey was lovely. It was more moist than the strips of damp cardboard a lot of the supermarkets seem to be selling under the vague description of 'Cooked Meats' and I'd go as far to say it wasn't as dry as 'proper' turkey when you have what's left after Christmas dinner on a sandwich. I can eat a slice of this on it's own, but give me a slice of normal roast turkey on it's own and you'll have me reaching for a glass of water to help it on it's journey from my mouth to my stomach! The turkey has quite a rich taste considering how thin each slice is and the taste lingers for a minute or two after you've finished eating. And you really can taste the turkey in these slices, which compared to Kwik Save's own branded turkey slices is a feat in itself! There's also another flavour in there but I can't think (or see in the ingredients) what it might be so am assuming its part of the 'flavouring' that is mentioned but not expanded upon.
This 150g pack cost 99p from Tesco and is available at all of the supermarkets. Its uses aren't limited to sandwiches either, oh no. Stick a pile of it on a plate with a salad for a delicious healthy lunch, wrap it around chunks of cheese and secure with cocktail sticks, rip a couple of slices up and sprinkle them on top of a pizza before cooking it or simply nibble on a piece while you're cooking dinner. It's so versatile I'm sure you'll think of something! A pack contains enough for 4 sandwiches if you're pigs like me and Mark and have thick sarnies but if you're one of those strange people who like more bread than filling then this pack will easily do you for 7 or 8 sandwiches. Don't forget though that even though it has to be kept in the fridge you must eat the lot within 3 days. There's always a quick recipe on the back of the lid to the turkey and I thought I'd share the one on my pack.
*~*~*~* Turkey Hash *~*~*~*
150g wafer thin cooked turkey, cut into strips
500g cooked new potatoes, sliced
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
2 tbsp parsley, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 beaten eggs
1/4 pint single cream
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp hot curry powder
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt & pepper
Heat oil in a large frying pan and gently cook the onion, garlic and red pepper. Add the potatoes, parsley and turkey. Combine the cream, egg, curry powder, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning. Add to the pan and cook until firm to the touch over a gentle heat for approximately 10 minutes. Brown the top under the grill and serve. Easy peasy.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. – Her husband is coming home after a week in the field and he will be hungry. She has been cooking all day but forgot a few ingredients for that special meal. She rushes off to the store to gather the last minute items not realizing she had failed to turn off the stove. When she gets back home the fire department is putting up the last of its equipment. When she enters the blackened, wet, soot covered kitchen she breaks into tears.
The Fire Prevention Team wrapped up Fire Safety Week on Joint Base Lewis-McChord with a culminating event at the Family Morale Welfare and Recreation tent Oct. 13. The team spent the previous week teaching, passing out information and giving demonstrations on fire safety to educate service members, spouses and children on JBLM.
Throughout the week firemen visited all the schools on JBLM speaking with children to reinforce fire safety in the home.
"It gives the opportunity for the kids to see the fire trucks and meet the firemen," said William Silva, fire inspector, JBLM Fire and Emergency Services. "A chance to see what a fireman looks like in gear and what their trucks look like because it's pretty scary when your house is full of smoke and all you hear are the sirens and see the lights."
Another tool the firemen used to educate the public was a smoke trailer.
The smoke trailer has a room that fills with smoke setting off the smoke alarms allowing for the participant to garner real world experience on what it may be like to be in a structure when it is on fire, Silva said.
"You don't want them to hear the alarms for the first time when there is an emergency," Silva said.
Silva used several sayings to help children remember some basic fire safety tips, "always have two ways out, stop drop and roll if you're on fire, stay low if there is smoke coming into your room."
Free fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors, safety flashlights and first aid kits were given away during Fire Safety Week's culminating event. The team helped attract a crowd with free food and raffled away door prizes all in an effort to raise fire safety awareness.
The Inflatable Fireman, a blow-up mascot, walked around the FMWR tent greeting children and shaking hands helping to make the day a memorable time for the small children who interacted. While the Sparky mobile fire truck was remotely controlled and drove around spraying people with a small fire hose.
Silva emphasized the role of the fire department and what parents should teach their children. If you have an emergency call 911 we are here to help you, get out of your house as fast as possible. Teach your children to have two ways out. Have a plan and practice them with your children. Practice in case of an emergency. Silva explained that it is better to let your possessions burn than it is to lose your life or get injured trying to save them.
Donald Lane, chief fire inspector, JBLM Fire and Emergency Services commented that this year's Fire Safety Fair was a great success. He counted the number of participants by the number of free hotdogs they gave away - more than 3,000. Humor aside, he said that this was the lowest fire loss in 10 years even though the population on JBLM has doubled in the last two years.

Built-in testing procedures are reportedly easy to perform. With a five-click guided procedure, the performance of multiple instruments can be qualified together, thanks to the certified reference substance, SmartCal. Once the simple instructions are followed, normalization for ambient conditions is automatic, thanks to a new plug-in humidity and temperature sensor.
One of the first of these new units was recently adopted by Swiss Army knives maker Victorinox in Switzerland to check the plastic granulates used to mold components of its products. The company's QC experts programmed the equipment with six shortcut keys—one for each of the plastic granulates in use. An operator simply has to load a sample and press its clearly labelled shortcut key; the assigned drying method then starts automatically. Reduced rejects and speed-up of the molding process resulted in as much as 10% increased productivity.

my girlfriend Alex got a gift cert to devachan from her daughter so we have both made our appts for tues feb 13 at 6 and 7 with carlos at the new salon. if any of you are in that area and want to meet us please contact me at my email firstname.lastname@example.com
maybe we could do dinner nearby?? we should be done by about 830 i think
I wish I lived in NY so I could go to Devachun with you, but I live in Texas, but my sister lives in Newark, NJ maybe I could go visit her.
I'd love to and I'm in the area but:
I'm 12 and I doubt my parents would ever let me go b/c its a school nite. :lol:
Anyway, I'm sure you wouldn't want to spend your nite with me.
Sounds like fun. We'll talk about the details as it comes closer.
I'd be interested. :D Just got my semi-annual cut from Devachan but am a L Islander and would love a CG gathering! We can talk CURLS! Who else but us devoted curlies could sit and listen to Curly stories all night long??
Sounds like fun.
I have an appt at Devachan (my first!) next Tues (1/16) at 6pm. If anyone wants to tag along, that would be great! I just got a cool new digital camera and we could document my devacut for the gang here.
I still get a chuckle when I think of the wavy girl approaching our group of curlies at Starbucks (after the Phyto Universe Curly Gathering) and asking if we were a curly hair club. :lol: And 3 of us reaching for curl ambassador cards!
Melissa is cutting my hair at 5 on tuesday and they also offered me a free make up session at 4;30. It is a promotion. See you there.
They offered me the makeup session, too. I'm supposed to be there at 5:30 for that. I'm hoping I can make it. I had a dr's appt this morning and missed the whole morning of work, so I may not be ablt to rush out the door at 5.
See ya later, selfcurledgirl! I brought my new digital camera with me. If you can hang out, you can take the before and after pix.
rose and self curl, how did it go today at devachan? inquiring minds are eager to hear and see pics...
Sorry we couldn't hang out. I was there until 8 pm with color and cut. Your hair looked great. I am happy with my cut and color. I needed a trim. We need to have another curl gathering.
self curl i would love to meet you in person. i'll be there tues feb 13 and if you want to plan another date for a gathering i'll try to make it, but weekends are tough unless i plan way ahead. my hair is now almost 30" long when wet. can't wait to see carlos!!! did u go to the new one or the old one?
What time is your appt ? I haven't been to the new place. Of course right next to the old place, is Dean and Deluca but I don't think they have a place to sit down. There is a kind of wine cafe down the block, actually the cupping room is a nice restaurant over there at 359 W Broadway between broome and grand. Let me know the time and what time you would like to meet and I could post it here. Curly Suz Guide and Plink usually come to cg's.

I think it's the best haircut i've ever gotten! Today, although I can still tell it's a great cut, it's a mess. I tried for second day hair. Since it's so cold here today I absolutely had to wear a hat, so knowing that, I didn't try too much. They used a LOT of Arc Angell, so I'm looking very producty today.
Here are a couple of pics from yesterday.

Our Facebook Groups
Greyhound Gap has recently added two new Facebook Groups which run alongside our main group.
Friends of Greyhound Gap
This group has been set up to allow Greyhound Gap members and supporters to showcase their fundraisers for the rescue, to allow us to hold fun competitions and auctions. We also have some wonderful companies and individuals who support Greyhound Gap with donations from their sales. This is a place they can also advertise and for companies who hold fundraisers or sponsor our dogs to add a link and for us to offer our thanks.
As we produce our own range of collars that raise a vast amount for the rescue this is the only thing we ask is not advertised here as of course we will be showcasing our own to raise as much as possible. If you have a fundraiser or want help with filling in forms and applications this is also a great place to access our team and get the help and support you need.
Link to Friends of Greyhound Gap:https://www.facebook.com/groups/143308219205944/
Saturday Morning at the Kennels
We meet every Saturday at 10am to walk and socialise our kennel hounds; walking the hounds that are still in kennels is an extremely rewarding activity. The dogs are taken for a countyside walk where they can do lots of sniffing and rolling on the grasses. Regular walkers get to see some of the more scared, confused or nervous dogs start to come our of their shells and gain in confidence over time, it's also a good chance to catch up with other volunteers!
This group has been created so that kennel walkers can add pictures and videos taken on their walks of the kennel hounds. It gives many who are unable to help with the walks access to seeing the dogs and seeing them flourish in our care.
Link to Saturday Morning at the Kennels:https://www.facebook.com/groups/361321730647075/
Greyhound Gap - Main Group
We use or main Facebook Group to post details of dogs needing homes, our new arrivals, urgent appeals, transport requests etc. It's also a place where adopters can update us with their new hounds progress.

In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. At low speed, beat in the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Arrange tablespoons of the cookie dough at least 1 1/2 inches apart on 2 large baking sheets and bake for about 11 minutes for soft and chewy cookies, about 13 minutes for chewy cookies or about 16 minutes for crisp cookies. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.

Pastors are not called to preach on local ordinances. Pastors are ordained by God, however, to shape and fire the convictions of their people. So I argue in an essay for the new 9Marks eJournal.

Tim Keller on Mars Hill Preaching, Homosexuality, and Transgender Identity
I recently had the privilege of interviewing Manhattan pastor Tim Keller for Christianity Today.

Yeah, they replace the plastic tubes and extend outward. It is actually very eay to dissasemble a Grado. the whole assembly is held together with a dab of hot melt glue. You can heat gun the whole thing or you can very carefully simply pry the assembly apart. I use the later method.

Uptown Girl Abroad
As tends to happen when you start drinking during the afternoon, conversation with friends - some of them expats, others not - veered towards the philosophical the other night.
Mr C couldn't understand why Ms J considered herself a Kiwi-Scottish-Irish- English hybrid: not when she was a fourth-generation Southlander.
He was, he said, an Englishman - even if there was a smattering of Belgian and French somewhere along the branches of his family tree.
The black-clad folk on the barstools (it was game day, after all) concluded that, given our own country's comparably fresh history, we're more likely to identify with a variety of nationalities.
Even if we've never set foot in the places we feel akin to.
When many OEers first arrive in Europe, their cameras quickly fill with pictures of churches - any church, any church at all - and other ancient-looking buildings.
After a while that goggly-eyed awe lessens. But sometimes history steamrolls you again.
I was lucky enough to land a job only a few days after arriving here in London; what was meant to be six weeks has turned into a permanent gig.
A gig that doesn't force me to sacrifice weekends (ideal) and the opportunity to wear shoes as high as I can manage (bad for the feet, but fun nevertheless).
(The one, one time I remember wearing a kitten heel-and-skirt combo as a reporter, I had to jump aboard and climb a bunch of stairs on a docked navy ship. This is why I don't play Lotto.)
It doesn't always happen, but some mornings - as I struggle to balance a latte with my swipe card and inevitably rain-splattered handbag - I can't help but feel impressed.
I walk through the revolving glass doors at the front of the building, past the top-hat-and-tails-wearing doormen.
I step onto the bisecting glass escalators in the centre of the building.
I peer down admiringly as the Lloyd's of London Underwriting Room shrinks below.
I am very much a cog: unlikely to be on the top floor when Boris, the PM or even the English rugby coaches Are In The Building.
(Unless I am lost. Which is highly probable.)
Lloyd's is such a British institution and, although I am easily befuddled by its complexities, the history and traditions are quite special to witness first-hand. The marking of Remembrance Day earlier this month was one of those moments.
Looking at the inside of Lloyd's is like slicing off the upper section of an ant hill. Everybody's moving quickly, because that's just what happens in London. The multi-layered glass atrium means that, wherever you are, you always have a view of people scurrying in all directions.
So to see it fall silent - it's estimated 5000 people were at the commemoration ceremony, watched by hundreds more gathered on the unmoving escalators or around the outside edges of the atrium - was striking.
Several of the "waiters" - staff members most easily described as similar to a concierge, in charge of ensuring everything runs smoothly - laid wreaths before the grand Book of Remembrance.
A bugler sounded out The Last Post and Reveille.
The 106-pound Lutine Bell, the centrepiece of the Room, was struck to mark two minutes silence.
Originally on board a French frigate that surrendered to the British in the Napoleonic Wars, the bell was seemingly lost when, six years later, the HMS Lutine sank off the Dutch coast. The ship was carrying gold and silver bullion insured by Lloyd's underwriters for [PndStlg]1 million - all of which was paid out.
In 1859, the bell was salvaged and it has hung in successive Rooms ever since. Traditionally it was sounded once for bad news, twice for good, although these days it usually marks a special occasion.
It was a moving tribute. As always, when the bagpipes rang out, my throat caught. This time, though, there was an extra cause for emotion.
That stirring drone didn't make me think of Scotland, the generations-back origin of my mother's surname, or whether I consider myself - at least in part - to "come from" the land of heather and highlands.
It made me think of home.

In a unanimous vote Monday, including one cast by Chair Paul Coble, the Wake County Board of Commissioners awarded a $1.2 million contract for the renovation of a waste station to Scotia Construction, Inc.—a company owned and operated by Coble's brother-in-law.
Three companies submitted "sealed bids" to the County and Scotia was the lowest bidder. DH Griffin bid $1.6 million and Environmental Specialties International bid $1.7 million. Scotia's initial bid was for $1.4 million.
Coble disclosed his relationship to Scotia as soon as the item came up for debate and asked the county attorney if he, Coble, needed to recuse himself from the vote. The county attorney said no and no other county commissioner raised questions.
"They obviously didn't see any conflict," said Coble. "Typically, I don't come across companies I know. Once I realized, I figured the best thing to do was let everybody know."
"Even though chair Coble and I don't agree on a number of issues I have great trust in the professionalism of county staff and what they do and chair Coble's ethics," said Democratic commissioner Erv Portman. "We don't agree on a lot of things, but I think he's an ethical guy."
A quick search of Scotia shows that it doesn't appear to have any recent complaints or violations registered with the Environmental Protection Agency or the North Carolina Department of Labor.
Scotia will be responsible for reinforcing floors, walls and pits at the East Wake Transfer Facility, a waste receiving station that was created in 2008. The facility is operated by Wake County and used by the county's 12 municipalities.
The sealed bidding process is designed to prevent fraud or favoritism.
Bids are kept sealed at the county's purchasing department until the deadline to submit bids passes. At that time, the bids are opened publicly, where oftentimes builders attend.
After that county staff will recommend "the lowest, responsible bidder" to the county commission. The wording "responsible" allows staff to pick the company that is best equipped to complete specifics within a given project.
After the bids have been opened, they become public information. However, they don't come across commissioners' desks until a few days before meetings, which is when Coble said he realized Scotia was involved.
"A whole lot of people move it forward to us before I ever put my eyes on it," said Coble. "That gives me comfort and it should give others comfort too."

The first commercial variety of birdsfoot trefoil in the world with both the ability to spread and to resist root diseases is now available.
Birdsfoot trefoil is a fine-stemmed, yellow-flowered forage crop that resembles alfalfa; but it tolerates poor soil conditions and abuse from grazing animals much better than alfalfa. It is palatable to animals, nutritious, and doesn't cause bloating that animals can get from other legumes.
"Steadfast is a fitting name for the new variety, because its ability to spread by rhizomes helps plants keep from being killed by root diseases that normally plague trefoil varieties," says Paul R. Beuselinck, an ARS plant geneticist.
In Morocco, in the late 1980s, Beuselinck discovered wild birdsfoot trefoil that produces rhizomes—underground runners that allow the plant to spread to new sites. The Moroccan wild types he collected contributed to the parentage of Steadfast, which was released jointly by ARS and the University of Missouri in 1995.
Rhizomes occur below the soil and can root and make new plants. Even if the original parts of the mother plant die from disease, new plantlets that develop from rhizomes allow the plant to survive and spread.
Root diseases have retarded the popularity of birdsfoot trefoil in the United States. "Over time, stands of American varieties without rhizomes will likely thin out. But stands of Steadfast, which has rhizomes, can be expected to thicken, making more forage available for animals," says Beuselinck.
The variety should do well in areas of intensively managed animal grazing systems for producers wanting a nonbloating, cool-season legume as a component of their grass-based pastures.
"Producers can use it on acres now planted only in grass or that are considered unimproved," says Beuselinck. Peterson Seed Company, Inc., in Savage, Minnesota, has obtained an exclusive license to sell and distribute Steadfast. — By Linda Cooke, ARS

Plots conics given as implicit functions
0 Downloads
Updated 13 Aug 2009
This is my second submission.
This gui plots up to 3 implicit functions F(x,y). The left-hand side generates random integers for A,B, and C then the user is expected to determine the type of the conic. The program checks the answer and displays true or false.
Additionally the user may want to type in his/her own coefficients, that is allowed as well.
Degenerate cases: There is a m-file attached which should be run before using this GUI, because it doesn't calculate degenerate cases. The reason was simply logistical, no place was left on the panel for other coefficients.
Please contact me if you are interested in using this in your classroom, I may be interested in an educational research on its effectiveness.
V. Good,
Please send me an email directly so we may discuss this situation further.
Thank you.

Do it, if you have the time. But I suggest you better use your valuable time to explore the FEX. There are great utilities around here, you'll find awesome software and kind people always willing to help. You will see people with a lot of experience, whose ratings you can rely on. And you will see that there is a huge amount of useless and flawed software. In my opinion it is not easy to filter the good things out. That's why I am happy with the rating system and grateful to the experts that take the time to give (imo) fair ratings.
You didn't have a very good start here. You rated your own file with five stars which is condemned here.
Very poor programming.

(1) Preoperatively, assess for length of tooth, strategic value of the tooth, estimated numbers of canals and roots, root curvature, calcification, periodontal status, restorability, access difficulties, etc, and take multiple angles (three) of preoperative radiographs.
(2) Access is always straight-line. Files never should deflect off access walls as they make their way into canals, especially RNT files.
(3) Canals are divided into thirds: coronal, middle, and apical. The coronal third is instrumented first, the middle third second, and the apical third last so as to give the greatest tactile sense to instruments working in the apical third, and also provide for the optimal exchange of irrigants.
(4) Initially, in a vital or necrotic tooth and in the presence of EDTA and sodium hypochlorite, I use a Quantec Flare Series 0.12 taper, size 25 tip, 21-mm (SybronEndo) orifice opener into the coronal third to gain a toehold. The additional smaller Quantec orifice openers can be used in the same fashion (still in the coronal third) slightly deeper to give better apical-third shape. Sodium hypochlorite is used to flush away debris and EDTA is re-applied.
Fig. 1. A recent case (No. 9) treated by the author in the manner described. Notice the difference in shape and patency between Nos. 9 and 10 (done elsewhere).
Figures 2 and 3. Two clinical cases treated in the manner described.
(5) For the middle third, I first scout with a No. 6 and a No. 8 K file to make sure that the canal is patent and determine if there are hidden canal curvatures. Once patency and canal curvature are determined, the 0.06 35 tip size K3 is used approximately to the junction of the middle and the apical third. If the 0.06 35 tip size K3 will not advance to this level, the 0.06 30 or 25 tip sizes can be used instead. Recapitulation and irrigation are frequent.
(6) The apical third requires a gentle touch. Extensive time per canal (as long as it takes) is required to explore the apical third with hand files starting with 6, 8, and 10 K files to reach an estimated working length. The files are entered passively in the canals and never forced to a preconceived or estimated length. Once a 10 or a 15 K file gets to the estimated working length, a radiograph should be exposed to determine the true working length (TWL), and this should be confirmed by tactile sense, a bleeding point, and electronic apex location. Maintaining canal patency and leaving the foramen at its initial position and at its initial size is critical.
(7) Once TWL is established, a glide path to the apex for subsequent RNT files should be established with hand files. This glide path should open the given canal to approximately a size 20 K file to TWL. At this stage TWL has been determined, the coronal and middle thirds prepared, and the canal instrumented to approximately a 20 K file at TWL.
(8) Regardless of the particular system used, RNT files are introduced in a crown down fashion (larger to smaller RNT files used coronal to apical) until TWL is reached. For example, the 0.06 K3 files could be used from a 35 tip size (or larger) down to a 20 or 15 tip size, and the sequence repeated. In smaller canals, the 0.04 K3 files could be used in a similar fashion.
(9) Prior to deciding to what size to shape the apex, it is essential to determine the diameter of the foramen or gauge the apex. Gauging is best described by example: If a 25 K file will slide to the TWL and gives a resistance to apical displacement through the foramen, then the No. 30 tip size K3 of an appropriate taper (if it will advance passively) will be used to TWL to create shape above the foramen to give an acceptable cone fit. Gauging the apex allows shape to be created above the foramen while maintaining its size and location.

Glad you all are ok. Stay safe and don't monday quarterback your self to much.
This is a discussion on Had to draw today. 2 armed guys. within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; At about 0700 yesterday, I started driving up to WA from San Diego. It's about a 20 hour drive. I got up to the WA ...
At about 0700 yesterday, I started driving up to WA from San Diego. It's about a 20 hour drive. I got up to the WA border around 0200 today. I was really hungry, so I stopped at a Burger King. A guy approached my truck asking for a burger and a ride north. My gun was still in the back of my pickup, and I felt pretty uneasy. I decided to just drive away and eat somewhere else. I made sure to carry this time.
Around 0400, I made it to Seattle, and went to my sister's place to pick up the dog and then drive the rest of the way home. get the dog in the truck, and I'm standing in the alley saying goodbye to my sister. I notice 2 men approaching in the alley. One is wearing a trench coat, the other is wearing a hoodie with the hood over his face. I'm super tired and for some reason it didn't occur to me to tell them to stop. They walk by us and I see a large curved knife in the hooded one's hand. I get a little scared, since this guy was 2 feet away from me, and I let him get there without a fight. They walk right past us though, and I put my hand on my gun and watch them.
Trench coat walks past the house (with 5 sleeping college girls inside) and says "this house", then goes to the end of the alley and stands there. Hoodie walks around to the front of the house, and I see him approaching the door. We watch him enter the house, and can see him inside through the side window. I don't know if TC is armed or not, but I've had enough of these guys. WA has a castle doctrine, and we are outside the house, but still on the property.
I draw my Sig and tell TC "Don't move, I have a gun". I'm a little worried about the girls inside, since hoodie has a knife, but my sister's safety is my primary concern at the time. TC says back "You actually have a gun?" He complies though and stays still. I tell my sister to call the police, and as she's on the phone with them, Hoodie walks out of the house. I can still see the knife in his hand, and I tell him not to move. I tell him to get on the ground, because I don't want him charging at me with the knife, and he says "I can't". That was really wierd, and he refused to comply, so I just continued to hold him at gunpoint.
I ask him who he is, trying to find out if he knew one of the girls inside and was playing a prank or something and he said "I'm ****** *******". Didn't express any relation to any of the girls, and at 0400, it's not much of a time for a prank dressed like that with a knife. Hoodie realizes we are on the phone with the police and they start moving away. TC goes down another alley, and Hoodie goes right and out of view. I tell my sister to get in the truck, and I get in with her and lock it. I didn't want Hoodie circling around us or anything. I holster my gun, and a few minutes later, the police show up.
I stay on the phone with them the whole time, and they let me know they caught TC, but not Hoodie. I turned off my truck and turned on the dome lights and put my hands on the wheel. 3 officers approached me, and told me to step out.
One of them says even though he knows I had the gun, he would like to frisk me. I comply, and he finds my Spyderco in my pocket. He asks me if the gun is still in my truck. I tell him "No, it's on my right hip". He says "I missed that....that's embarrassing". They didn't take my gun from me, which was nice. I showed them my military ID, DL, and CPL. They took our reports and let us go.
My sister decided to make the rest of the trip home with me instead of staying in the neighborhood.
I know I made some mistakes, and I think most of it was a result of being tired. I usually never let anyone get that close to me ever, especially in a dark alleyway at 0400 wearing that kind of attire. It just never occurred to me that it was bad news until I saw the knife, at which point, it would have been too late. The police said I handled the situation very well, and I think they were very professional about it, and didn't freak out that I had a gun.
My surefire was in the truck. I really wish I had had it on me at the time. 3 feet away, and it was useless. It would have been nice to be able to illuminate the BGs so I could get a more accurate description other than "white male". I'll be carrying it from now on.
I had one in the pipe, but my finger never touched the trigger the whole time. Training FTW.
We're not sure what Hoodie stole, but he did discharge a fire extinguisher all over inside the house also.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Glad you all are ok. Stay safe and don't monday quarterback your self to much.
You were in the right place, at the right time.
No telling what they were up to.
At least one of the scumbags was caught.
Job well done.
So you were invisible to the two guys until you announced that you had one of them covered and the other one open-carrying a large knife had just walked into your sister's unlocked house at 4 o'clock in the morning?

Glad you are ok. Looks like you do what you have to do. Stay Armed and Safe!
They had to have seen me as they walked by...that was what was so weird about the whole thing...he entered her house even though we were standing right outside. It was confirmed afterward that none of the girls knew these guys. My guess is they were on drugs. And maybe gang related...they both had red bandanas.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
It just goes to show that when it happens to you, it never goes down the way other say they would have handled it on line!
Glad nothing bad happened.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

You did well.
Glock 33 .357 SIG plus .40 S&W barrel for most of practice. Keep loaded with .357 SIG hollow point for home protection.
RugerLCP .380 equipped with Crimson Trace for everyday carry.
All's well that ends well. I think I would of called 911 right away, as soon as I saw the knife.
The BG seemed to get into the house pretty easily...something I would be concerned about for your sister.
I'm glad everyone was ok. Your sister's lucky that you were as aware as you were, and carrying. Don't get yourself down with the shoulda-coulda-wouldas. It turned out fine after all.
Did they say what charges they have against TC?

I'm not sure of the charges against TC. I was kind of classified as a witness/bystander...and my sister and her housemates as the "victims". I'd have to ask her, but I'm guessing something like criminal mischief probably...unless being an accomplice lets them charge you with the B&E also.
He got in very easily because she left the front door unlocked...she was going back in in a few minutes.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Wow good job. I found the part where the guy asked you if you actually had a gun to be very funny. They obviously were surprised that you were a threat to them after just walking right by you. I wouldn't be surprised if they were on drugs. Glad no one got hurt, and thanks for sharing!
Considering the circumstances sounds like you did ok. Hope that isn't how you started your leave though. Bet you were wide awake afterwards.

Supermodel Adriana Lima has hit back at reports suggesting she and her best friend Alessandra Ambrosio were overheard mocking Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner.
Venturing into the realm of comic book geeks, Adriana Lima is one of several marvelous Marvel-ized models on the cover of Garage magazine's new Spring/Summer 2016 issue.
The beautiful Brazilian poser proves why she's one of the hottest in the land in her She-Hulk-styled shoot, though she's not the only bombshell to score a cover.
Making her third appearance in a Vogue Eyewear campaign, Adriana Lima is the face of the brand's Spring 2016 spread.
The Brazilian goddess shows off a slew of new specs while photographer Ellen Von Unwerth snaps up sexy photos that also include vintage cars and palm trees.
Making the most of their humpday evening, a bevy of beautiful people showed up at the 2016 amfAR New York Gala last night (February 10), held at Cipriani Wall Street.
Always ready for a saucy photo shoot, Adriana Lima is featured in a new spread for the Spring/Summer 2016 issue of LOVE magazine.

Can You See Dip Tube From Upper Element Port ?
Have elec HWH that runs good and hot for about 3 min then gets warmer and stays that way, even for several minutes.
The 2 elements check ok 12.9 ohms, no short to ground. Both TH diagnose test ok. "May" have an upper TH that sticks - diag wil not confirm that.
This WH is about 7 yrs old and in very good shape.
My thinking is that a broken dip tube would cause the water to get cold pretty fast ?
To confirm dip tube problem or not, can it readily be seen from the upper element port with a mini mag lite ?
Thanks for your input.
best to pull it out to inspect the whole diptube.
I'm confused what the problem is exactly.

text: VANCOUVER, Sept. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - MAG Silver Corp. (TSX:MAG) (NYSE-MKT:MVG) ("MAG" or the "Company") and Mining Investors for Shareholder Value (" MISV"), a group of MAG shareholders collectively holding approximately 9.76% of MAG's outstanding shares and organized by Jeffrey E. Eberwein and Charles M. Gillman, announced today an agreement to nominate Richard Clark and Peter Barnes for election at the upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders (the " Annual Meeting") to be held on October 5, 2012. Jonathan Rubenstein, Chairman of MAG, said today: "We recently engaged in a dialogue with Jeff Eberwein and Chuck Gillman of MISV and are pleased that this collaborative effort has yielded the inclusion of two strong candidates for MAG's board in our forthcoming proxy circular. Rick and Peter have excellent track records of creating value for shareholders and we are pleased to add their expertise at this crucial time in MAG's development." Under the terms of the agreement with MISV, MAG will present a slate of nine directors to shareholders at the Annual Meeting, comprised of Mr. Clark and Mr. Barnes along with seven existing members of MAG's board. To facilitate this agreement, R. Michael Jones, a founder and director of MAG since March 2003, will not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Said Mr. Rubenstein: "The inclusion of two strong candidates like Rick and Peter will be critical to replace Mike's significant contribution to MAG over the years. As a founder of the Company, Mike has been instrumental in MAG's successes to date. It was Mike who recognized the potential value of property positions assembled at Juanicipio and elsewhere by Dr. Peter Megaw. Working with several associates Mike formed MAG, acquired the properties, helped raise initial funding and then guided the early growth of the Company. The board thanks Mike for his dedicated years of service, and wishes him continued success in his future endeavours. Mike will focus his efforts on Platinum Group Metals Ltd. where he is also a co-founder and is the CEO." Mr. Clark and Mr. Barnes bring extensive experience in the metals and mining industry to MAG's board. For the past ten years, Mr. Clark has been a senior executive with the Lundin Group of Companies. Mr. Clark has been a director of Sirocco Mining Inc. since 1994, and was appointed CEO in October 2011. Previously, Mr. Clark was president and CEO of Red Back Mining Inc., and guided the company from a junior development company to multi-mine producer until it was acquired by Kinross Gold Corporation for C$9.0 billion in late 2010. Mr. Clark is a lawyer who practiced mining and securities law in British Columbia from 1987 to 1993. Mr. Barnes, a Chartered Accountant with over twenty-five years of senior management experience, has been instrumental in building two of the world's premier precious metals companies. From 2006 until April 2011, Mr. Barnes was CEO of Silver Wheaton, a company he co-founded in 2004. Under his leadership, Silver Wheaton, with its unique silver streaming model, provided shareholders with a 50% annualized rate of return and grew into one of the largest silver companies in the world, with a market capitalization of approximately US$15 billion. Prior to his appointment as CEO of Silver Wheaton, Mr. Barnes was the CFO of Wheaton River Minerals, and subsequently Goldcorp Inc. after the companies merged in 2005. During this time, Wheaton River/Goldcorp's market capitalization increased more than 25-fold to C$13 billion and the company was transformed from a junior gold producer to one of the world's leading low-cost emerging senior gold producers. The agreement with MISV also provides that the Company will nominate Mr. Clark and Mr. Barnes as part of its recommended slate of directors presented to shareholders at the 2013 annual meeting.

Japtha wins in four!
By Ron Jackson
Marcel Japtha stopped Willie Mabasa in the fourth round of a scheduled ten to win the vacant Gauteng featherweight title at the Westbury Recreation Centre near Johannesburg on Saturday night. The bill was presented by Peoples Promotions and Westside Boxing Academy. Mabasa 14-7 came out fast at the first bell throwing left and right combinations to the head as he surprised Japhta 10-1; 7. Mabasa continued at the same pace through rounds two and three as Japhta began to score with counter punches to the body. In the fourth round the rugged Japtha with blood leaking from his nose came back at Mabasa and hurt him with a stiff right to the jaw. After another flurry of punches and with Mabasa not fighting back referee Alfred Buqwana stepped in to call the fight off at 2 minutes 31 seconds into the round.
In a junior middleweight encounter Nkululeko Mhlongo was just too strong for Johannes Pietersen and stopped him at 2 minutes 50 seconds into the first round of a scheduled six and in another scheduled six, light flyweight Fusani Monte beat Ada Sixanti on a fourth round technical knockout.

PO 841 code
My 2002 Overland sets off this code sometimes." High pressure switch A inhibited". When it does ,it goes in to limp mode. Turn it off and restart it and it shifts fine. After a bit the check engine light goes out. Is this pressure switch in the solenoid block on the top of the valve body?
Re: PO 841 code
Did you check the fluid level first?
This code can be set when air enters the pump. Sometimes a split inlet filter or just low fluid level can be the problem.
The pressure switch which sets this code is indeed part of the TRS solenoid block which is mounted on top of the valve body.
Re: PO 841 code
Fluid level is good. Filters were changed two years ago. Guess I can look at them. Old ones were ok.
Re: PO 841 code
Have a look at the large electrical connector At the left side of the transmission. That is the one which connects directly to the solenoid block. Dirt, moisture or oxydized pins could also cause problems.
Re: PO 841 code
Cleaned the connections, put a little dielectric grease on and she drove great, for about a day. Threw po841 again and went into limp mode. Turned it off restarted and she shifted fine. CEL went off about a hour later, strange. Might not do it again for a week or a few months. Or maybe in the morning. Does it throw a specific code when the TRS solenoid block needs replaced or does each switch/solenoid throw its on code?
Re: PO 841 code
There is no specific code for the solenoid block, each switch or solenoid has its own failure code.
Have a look as well at the TCM connector. It has a central bolt which has to be loosened to get the connector of.
Eventhough it could be wiring, its a good change that the pressure switch is faulty. It has a rubber membrane, which actuates a brass plunjer under spring pressure. The rubber can tear. I asked once for the solenoid block seal plate, and received new springs and rubber membranes as well.
But most probably you could better change the solenoid block completely. A good address for this is: www.electricaladvantage.net
Here is the block: Mopar 45RFE Solenoid Block - Oem New ! Save Here ! !
This is an updated solenoid block for 5-45RFE from 05 and on, which retrofits on the 99-04 5-45RFE. You will only also need to buy a new detent plate to make this work.
It could be a good idea to change the line pressure sensor at the same time. If over time the pressure settings of the sensor have changed, the transmission could regulate a too low line pressure, which could result in slipping clutches and premature wear.

I like to keep a relatively clean desktop. I have my frequently used icons situated just where I need them and I try to limit my amount of desktop shortcuts, but sometimes that's just not enough for me. I mean, when I first installed Windows 7, all I had was a recycle bin icon and not much else to speak of!
How can one get that level of desktop cleanliness ever again?

8 Simple Habits To Help You Breathe Better
- Reviewed by Niya Jones, MD, MPH
Top Tips to Breathe Easier
Every breath is important — especially if you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Coping with COPD symptoms such as shortness of breath can make even the most basic tasks difficult and sometimes impossible to complete. Though there's no cure for COPD, there are steps you can take to breathe easier.
Simplify Life
For people with COPD, planning out each week in advance, spreading chores over several days, is a smart way to help manage symptoms. Prepare simple, easy meals and make extra, so you have ready-to-reheat leftovers whenever possible. Think about each task before you start it, visualizing the steps involved and the most efficient plan of attack. Devise shortcuts, if you can. Take a break as soon as you start showing signs of shortness of breath or any other COPD symptoms. And, most importantly, don't be afraid to ask for help.
Though exercising may seem counterintuitive when you're feeling short of breath from COPD, but working out — when done properly — can actually help you breathe easier. When muscles are in better shape, they use oxygen more efficiently, and that's great news for lungs. Walking outside or pedaling on a stationary bike at home or at the gym are two great activities to start. Working out with light hand weights and stretching regularly are other fitness options for easing COPD symptoms.
Eat Smaller Meals More Frequently
Eating smaller meals more often throughout the day can help you manage COPD symptoms. Bigger meals can cause your stomach to bloat, and press against your lungs, preventing them to fully expand and contributing to shortness of breath. Watching the amount of carbohydrates you eat may also help you save energy, which is important for people with COPD.
Do Breathing Exercises
Brian W. Carlin, MD, a pulmonologist in Pittsburgh and past chairman of the COPD Alliance, a clinician and patient resource, recommends pursed lip breathing (breathing out with the lips closed) and diaphragmatic breathing (in which you control your breaths in by allowing the diaphragm to move downward and the stomach outward).
Clear Mucus From the Lungs
Clearing mucus from the lungs helps treat COPD symptoms such as shortness of breath — you can process more oxygen with the mucus gone. "Keep well-hydrated and use appropriate inhaled medications," recommends Dr. Carlin. Techniques such as chest physiotherapy and postural drainage can also help. Ask your doctor if you're a good candidate for medical device, such as a vest that helps drain the lungs.
Practice Relaxation Techniques
Anxiety, panic, and stress create a snowball effect, worsening COPD symptoms and in turn worsening the anxiety, notes Byron Thomashow, MD, a clinical professor of medicine at Columbia University Medical Center in New York. To help you keep calm, try yoga, relaxation tapes or CDs, and breathing retraining. "Relaxation therapies that relieve the stress, panic, or anxiety will help break the escalation and help restore normalcy," says Bill Clark, director of outreach programs and founder of the COPD Information Line at the COPD Foundation in Miami.
Get Educated and Prepared
Learn as much as you can about COPD, and consider enrolling in a pulmonary rehabilitation program to learn more tips and new exercises. Also, look out for COPD symptoms and signs they're getting worse, such as more shortness of breath than usual, extra coughing, and sputum production. Create a written action plan with your medical team, detailing instructions about what to do if COPD symptoms worsen — if you're prepared, you'll be less anxious.
Rest and Practice Other Healthy Habits
Resting when necessary is a smart move when you have COPD. Quitting smoking (if applicable) is crucial, as is avoiding any lung irritants — including secondhand smoke — to help prevent flare-ups.
Making healthy food choices and scheduling regular medical check-ups are always smart. In general, these healthy lifestyle choices can help COPD patients both physically and mentally.

So is your mother's hair longer WITH the relaxer or WITHOUT b/c you wrote:
after my mom stopped getting relaxers from damage since she also has a permanent color, and in only 3 years her hair has grown almost to tailbone length.
(I noticed also that my mom's hair is longer than it was when she was natural as well, however her hair is undeniably more damaged from 2x chemical treatments).
I'm sure transitioning is a difficult commitment...maybe see how healthy you can get your relaxed hair first. Depending on how drastic of a change your natural hair is from your processed hair, it will be even more difficult. Also, do you plan to style your hair in a natural state for years to come and are no longer interested in the relaxed look and styles? That would be something I would seriously consider before transitioning. I think it's great when people learn to live with, appreciate and enjoy their natural hair but I also think it's important to like the end result and not alter it after so much hard work and committment. What do I know though, I've never really been in that situation. I've relaxed my hair over the years but my hair never really changed that much from it's original curl pattern so growing back was not much work.

Just the right size to fill the hole, easy to use.
Woodborer bee dies trying to remove plug.
By Heiri on 05/13/2012
I plugged a hole that a woodborer bee had chewed out on a wooden beam. I few hours later the woodborer was back trying to chew up the plug it died doing this. Probably did not taste good. When installing these plugs I fill them with glue that expands while drying.
These work Great. Saved my Log Cabin
By Brian on 06/03/2012
Along with the DeltaDust and a plug, these work great. I purchased the under $100 kit and have kapt the wood bees away. Great kit. Thanks. Only thing thats worked so far for us. Thewoodalls
Perfect for quickly plugging Carpenter Bee holes.
By John on 04/06/2016
Plug has a snug fit in the hole. The gray color is hardly noticeable in the wood. I had a lot of holes and I was able to quickly seal the holes. A real work saver.
Great plugs for those pesky carpenter bees
By Sierra on 04/26/2016
Its nice to be able to plug the holes and keep them out of their nests with plastic instead of more wood dowels
