One great way of spending additional quality time with your children is to introduce them to your own passions.
This not only allows you to indulge in your favorite pastime while spending time with your children, but also serves to forge bonds and memories to last a lifetime.
Here are several examples of activities that could easily be adapted to children from 5-12 years old.
Museums and Art Galleries
Is your idea of bliss is wandering around buildingsfull of ancient artifacts or works of art? Excellent! It's very easy to get children involved and entertained. In fact, some museums do much of the work for you, offering children's guides or interpretive programs.
You might also consider making your own guide which your children use on a scavenger hunt—looking for information or particular items.
Who can spot 3 different animals in a particular painting?
Who can find the oldest coin in this room?
What color is the girl's dress in Manet's "Girl in the Garden"?
Just be sure to explain very clearly the rules of not touching items in the museum. Otherwise children may be tempted to show you with their fingers exactly where all the animals in the picture are.
Hiking/Outdoor Walk
If the outdoors call to you and you think a healthy dose of fresh air will do the whole family good, try an outdoors cavenger hunt. Again this can be planned and written up beforehand or can be impromptu.
Possible suggestions might include finding a matching leaf, animal and bird spotting, tree identification, or finding rocks that look like animals. Keep the children busy enough and they won't even realize they are taking exercise at the same time!
You can have great fun shopping with your children and not have to spend a penny. Have competitions to see who can find the ugliest outfit, the most clashing getup, most stylish and so on. Giggles will erupt from the changing rooms and your children can start learning fashion basics at the same time.
Involve younger children in your workout – lifting them up and down can be made into a fun game for them and a
weights workout for you. With older children, find fun exercises that they can join in with. Stick some lively music on and dance around the house for twenty minutes.
Hula-hooping is great for the waist and skipping is a fantastic cardio workout. Walking whilst playing a game such as 20 questions or guess the famous person can give the participants a workout without realizing it.
Even complicated recipes usually have steps that children can help with. Very young children can pretend to cook with plastic bowls and wooden spoons. Have your children practice their cooking techniques by pretending to be cooking show hosts – you can even video it so they can have their own show.
Introduce new foods into the recipes as children are more likely to at least try dishes they have cooked themselves
These are just a few ideas to fit with more popular pastimes but hopefully they will act as inspiration so that you can share your own particular passion with your children in a way that is most likely to engage them. Just remember the key is to have fun in your interactions with your children and bring more joy into your family.

The Second Law Of Action: Everyday Accountability Gives You Ten Times The Results
Welcome back to the Secret-bustin' series that treats the Law of Attraction like one big ol' magic genie pinata. Catch up on all the posts here.
The age-old First Law of Action (coined just a few weeks ago) states that A refined outcome is easier to achieve. Simple enough to agree with – you get specific on what you want (and what you don't want), and the path you need to take to get there becomes clearer. Nice and simple. You don't have to be a quantum physicist to figure that one out.
Now, let's take a look at the Second Law of Action, handed down through the centuries penned as I sipped my evening rum & Coke: Everyday Accountability Gives You Ten Times The Results. Again, not rocket science … but seldom put into practice.
When You Decide To Act Everyday, Everything Changes
The reason why we don't get what we want has less to do with how talented we are and a whole lot more to do with how consistent we are with action. Whether you're building a blog, developing a new habit, or punching your way out of a living grave (thanks, Sonia), taking focused, non-stop action on a daily basis speeds up your results tenfold.
The reasons for this are many:
- When you hold yourself to taking action on something everyday, your whole psychology undergoes a shift. You're essentially telling yourself "I'm serious about this," and you devote more of your focus to making yourself work.
- When you decide to take daily action on a project, you pretty much have to sit down and make a plan of what to do next, and next, and next, and next … and instead of taking random action, you tend to make more of a strategic plan. No futzing around anymore.
- When you tackle the same goal day after day, you start to become more sensitive to understanding the results you're getting. You get better at discerning what type of actions have a bigger payoff than others, and when your current strategy isn't working.
- When you make taking action a daily habit, you quickly develop a sense of dissatisfaction for taking any action that doesn't give you really good results. You stop fooling around and start getting serious.
- When you take action more frequently, you refine your strategy faster. As you get into the thick of a project, you start seeing ways that you could reach your goals more effectively because you're immersed in it and you're seeing results you can measure.
For all these reasons – and many more, which I'm sure you'll talk about in the comments – holding yourself accountable to take action everyday on a goal moves you from a leisurely stroll to a marathoner's pace (and sometimes to a hard sprint). In fact, it's clinically proven* that getting serious helps you make progress ten times faster.
(* According to a study where imaginary researchers come up with nice round numbers to support my points).
How To Tap Into The Power Of Everyday Accountability
If there's something you say you're serious about that you just aren't making progress on, it's time to make the shift to everyday accountability. The process is simple:
- Refine your goal into a measurable outcome, such as "10% increase in traffic," "100 new subscribers," or "15 hours of studying copywriting per month."
- Schedule time in every day to take action, because if you don't schedule it, you won't do it. If you've got a daily schedule that varies, just schedule 1 or 2 days ahead at all times and you'll be fine.
- Every day, ask yourself the Big Question, "What did I do to make progress on this goal?" This accountability question alone will speed up the process more than anything else, because it forces you to evaluate how much progress you're making. You can't be complacent when facing this question.
Don't Let Time Pass Without Taking Action
New Year's Resolutions fail because you check in on them once a year. Most "30 day goals" fail because people don't check in on them until a few weeks have passed. If you check in on yourself daily, and you get honest with your answer to the Big Question, you'll be amazed at just how quickly you make things happen.
Everyday accountability –> Everyday Progress –> WIN.

I'll add a tip – make yourself accountable to someone else. When you tell someone else that you'll do something on a specific day, you tend to work harder at accomplishing it. It's very easy to lie to ourselves: "I'm going to do this tomorrow. Promise." And then we don't do it.
When you tell someone else, you have the guilt factor going on. People hate making excuses more than anything. Tap into that and make it happen.
Then again, guilt at not accomplishing something can be a killer… hm.

I love your laws of action. Everyday accountability has always worked like a charm for me. And if I fall off the everyday wagon, ooh, do I slide. I hate those times. The only way back is to start chunking out the mini-goals and checking them off again. Taking concrete, measurable steps everyday makes me feel powerful. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the living-grave link, Dave!
About a week ago, I made a 100-day commitment to take action on a series of business goals. I want to start 2009 in a much more powerful position than I'm in right now.
I've got tasks defined every day for about 40 days, and every few weeks I'll extend that task list out. For some days, I also have an optional task or two defined, and I've included some catch up days if I don't make as much progress on a given task as I'd hoped.
Every day I have to answer one question for myself: did I meet my commitments for the day or not? As you suggest, I have my tasks for each day scheduled–for me, it makes sense to schedule them about two weeks out, so I can work around other schedule factors that I need to work with. And I have no problem reworking the schedule if opportunities come up that are in line with those original business goals.
James has a good point, every day I log in to my mastermind group & let them know what the task was and whether or not I did it. I'm going to feel like an ass if I miss a day.
So far it's been really fun and very empowering. I've never made this ambitious a commitment–usually I do 30-day jags. So it will be interesting to see how more of a marathon feels. I do try to adjust the tasks so they're realistic–there are days when the task is simply "brainstorm new post and product ideas." Other days I have 2+ hours of work as the daily task.

Accountability *to* oneself can be difficult enough.
Accountability *for* oneself can be another.
But have you ever been the organizational lone wolf howling in the wilderness?
Seen senior people making vague suggestions or requests to individuals that you know will never follow through.
Because those senior people cannot be accountable, or hold others accountable.
Apologies for the rant on such a well turned post.

Holy cow, you kicked my @$$ so hard with this one, it took me all day to get back here to comment…
Accountability to others – yes, very powerful – and I second Michelle, I use a don't break the chain dry erase board for writing and exercise…
And so often my wife walks by it and says, "I see you're writing a lot, but your exercise is taking back seat…"

On my writers' forum (http://www.fmwriters.com) there's a thread for daily goals. I use that for my accountability to others. I use http://www.RememberTheMilk.com to remind me each day of what I'm supposed to be doing and then I've started documenting it in an Excel spreadsheet so that I can see what I think I'm going to be focusing on and what I actually do focus on.
I'm doing the latter because I'm good at futzing about on some things, and this way I only document real progress.
I love this series and think you have a really strong information product building from this!

Jean Gogolin's last blog post..We Shared the Impact of That Day
- Sep 12, 2008 Stephen Hopson
I'd like to second what James from Pen with Pens said – make yourself accountable to someone else.
In fact, I'd like to increase the volume on that one and go even further by making yourself accountable to a whole community of people whether it'd be those who follow you on Twitter or your blog/website. It doesn't matter how many subscribers you have but if you make yourself accountable to a lot of people, that puts a seed of responsibility in your head. It's a form of self pressure.
Another thing is I agree totally with the concept of scheduling in a task. I do that in my Blackberry where I schedule tasks for the day. It's extremely effective in getting me to take action. My BB would vibrate 15 minutes before the scheduled task, reminding me of what I said I'd do at a certain time. Of course, you have flexibility in making changes if need be but it's very effective.
Great article – I love being reminded of stuff like this because not only does it confirm what I've been doing but it also tugs my consciousness by dropping another seed.

@Sonia: Indeed you now have live up to the newly invented term "punchinatrix"! Isn't that what the wise people meant when they said "be careful what you wish for"?
Indeed and now that you've been labeled as such, you might as well turn it into an advantage. Why not make a speech out of it, using that word? Or in your marketing materials say something like
"The Punchinatrix is Coming to Town!"

Hi Dave
I'm what is known as a digital immigrant, rather than a digital native and this the first time I have come across your page. I have been reading it all morning! I have found it very interesting. I have great ideas about leaving teaching and starting my own business, but have lacked the confidence /capacity to develop them fully. Also, I am currently acting in a senior role at my workplace and as I am determined to do a wonderful job, am finding i am spending all my spare time working. This role finishes in December. Has anyone started their own business, with dependent chilren, a large mortgage, a full time job and whilst studying? My study is something that is working towards my goal of leaving teaching. Also, I am forty something……………..where do I start? Grateful for your advice……Thanks Jane

Another post for ME! You must be that pesky fly on the wall
I am starting my rising earlier plan in the morning and with my earlier start I will
* Refine my goal into a measurable outcome
* Schedule time in every day to take action (written in planner)
* Every day, ask myself the Big Question "What did I do to make progress on this goal?"
Finally Dave… I'm telling you to keep myself accountable.
Big Mahalo for being here!
- Sep 15, 2008 Karl - Your Work Happiness Matters
I really enjoyed this article. I have lacked my ability to keep myself accountable. I'm a task hopper.
When I know what I want to get done, detailed list. It gets done, but a lot of my projects are large and I seem to get caught up in all the busy work instead of doing the heavy lifting. It's time I focused my lists with every project I do. Thanks!

Published: February 5, 1989
(Page 3 of 5)
Tobias Wolff's portrayal of his stepfather (a portrait notably free of bitterness and condemnation) makes it clear how widely child abuse can range without ever, or rarely ever, crossing the line into physical brutality (he ''didn't really beat me but kept the possibility alive''), and how gleefully an adult can labor at obliterating what's most vital about a child. Tobias's stepfather assigned him a battery of tedious jobs (''Some of the chores were reasonable, some unreasonable, some bizarre as the meanest whims of a gnome setting tasks to a treasure seeker''), stole Tobias's paper-route earnings, traded Tobias's beloved rifle for an ugly, incontinent, gun-shy hunting dog. Finally, after his stepfather struck him in a dispute about whether a jar of mustard was empty or not, Tobias took the momentous step of calling his brother, Geoffrey, whom he'd lost track of for six years and who had just begun writing him highly literary and self-conscious letters from Princeton, where he was then a student. (Geoffrey says Toby called him first, and the letters followed.) ''Some people do Lassie-Come-Homes for their siblings,'' Geoffrey Wolff says. ''I wasn't one of those. I wasn't walking up and down looking for him. In the beginning and at the end I thought about it a lot. But I got used to not having a brother.''
SOON AFTER TOBIAS phoned Geoffrey, their father decided that a family reunion was in order. He paid Tobias's way down to La Jolla, Calif., where he was living, and Geoffrey - somewhat less than shocked when the fare his father promised him never materialized -took a bus across the country. Seeing his brother again was, Geoffrey says, extremely exciting. ''But of course,'' he adds, ''the circumstances couldn't have been more bizarre.''
On the night that Geoffrey arrived, Arthur Wolff (by then Saunders Ansell-Wolff 3d) had a major nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized. All that night, Geoffrey and Tobias stayed up, playing Django Reinhardt records and ''talking about everything but ourselves and the old man and old lady.''
That summer, with their father in a sanitarium, the brothers remained in La Jolla. Geoffrey walked into his father's old job at General Dynamics Astronautics, rewriting technical reports. Tobias stayed home and completed the daily assignments - essays on Greek tragedy and so forth - that his brother, in his ''avuncular mode,'' assigned him. Tobias speaks of that summer as a revelation, not only about family but about possibility:
''Geoffrey was the first person I'd ever met for whom books were the only way in which you could in good conscience spend your life. I already had the notion that I wanted to be a writer, but I'd never been with people to whom books mattered, people who had a sense that this was something a sane person would want to be.''
''From that point on,'' Geoffrey says, ''there was never a time when Toby and I haven't been in close touch.'' Now, they talk on the phone several times a week, visit frequently, speak of each other with great warmth and so obviously enjoy each other's company that, when both taught at Goddard College in the late 1970's, ''some of the female students there thought that Toby and I were gay lovers.''
For two brothers who are both writers (or, for that matter, any two siblings, or any two unrelated writers), the Wolffs seem amazingly uncompetitive. There is, however, the incident that both brothers refer to now as ''the typewriter ribbon story.''
In 1971, Geoffrey was living comfortably in Rome, on a Guggenheim Fellowship. Tobias, who'd been backpacking through Europe, came to visit. Geoffrey was undergoing a worrisome dry spell in his writing, and Tobias asked if he might borrow the typewriter his brother seemed not to be using. Day after day, Geoffrey listened - resentfully but uncomplainingly -to Tobias's constant typing. Finally, as Tobias was leaving and the brothers were saying goodbye, Geoffrey asked, ''Haven't you forgotten something?'' He went on to explain that typewriter ribbons were extremely expensive in Italy. . . .
''He handed me an incredible bill,'' Tobias says, ''for a fifty-dollar typewriter ribbon.''
To say that the Wolff brothers have remained close is not to say that their lives haven't diverged - diverged in ways that, at least temporarily, appeared to fulfill the expectations of the social milieus in which they were raised. After finally graduating from Princeton, Geoffrey taught for two years in Turkey, attended Cambridge as a Fulbright Scholar, then returned home to a job at The Washington Post. For the past 17 years he has worked, almost uninterruptedly, as a novelist (his most recent novel was the 1986 ''Providence''), biographer and university teacher; he is currently writer in residence at Brandeis. His wife, Priscilla, is a teacher and dean at the Wheeler School, a private day school. Their sons, both students at Bowdoin, co-host ''The Howlin' Wolff Brothers' Blues Show'' on the college radio station.
Tobias had been schooled for a considerably different future. He left high school and, after a series of odd jobs, joined the Army. ''It's part of the way the men I knew grew up,'' he says. ''It's seen as a natural progression. It seemed the most natural thing in the world for me to go into the Army.''

From 'Quadraboob' to 'Super Drooper'
Most of us, – a whopping 85%!- are wearing the wrong-size bra. Do you recognise any of these classic bra #FAILS? I've got some solutions for you..
The 'Quadraboob'
Wow, you've got 4 boobs! Oh no wait, it's 2 boobs, spilling over your cup.
Solution: Since your cup literally 'runneth over', you should try a bigger cup size. For example, 80E instead of 80D.
The 'High Rider'
The back of your bra is riding up. Your boobs pay the price: a dire lack of support.
Solution: The problem is that the underbust is too wide. First, check the obvious: your bra's back closure hooks. Did you use the right set of loops for a nice snug fit? If you did, and you still get no support, try a bra with a smaller underbust size. For example: 70E instead of 75D.
The 'Side Boob'
The wires in the side of your cup are sitting on your boob rather than your rib cage, creating spillage on the sides.
Solution: If the problem is in the underwire, the problem is in the cup; the two are connected. Definitely try a bigger cup size: 85E instead of 85D for example.
The 'Super Drooper'
Oh no! Your boobs look sad and lonely in a bra that doesn't seem to offer any support.
Solution: Check your shoulder straps, you might need to make them tighter. The same goes for your underbust; is it too wide? Then again, the problem might be in the type of cups; for proper support I suggest good quality molded cups. Like the ones I developed for my brand! Just saying…
Boobs in Space
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's your boobs, floating in space because your underwire is not touching your ribcage.
Solution: First, the obvious: are your shoulder straps too tight? Loosen them a little to see what happens. Then, bend forward till your boobs fall into the cups, and shake while you hold the underwire firmly (doesn't that feel good?).
Still no luck? Try a bigger cup, for example 70B instead of 70A.
Marlies Says
Trying to become a Maestro!
For a television program I am competing with 8 other Dutch personalities to become THE "Maestro". The last few weeks have been nerve wrecking; I found my new passion.
Marlies Says
My week; an inside look
I never have a week with a same sort of agenda as the week before, or the week ahead. That's because I sometimes live the life of four different people.

Funny, Feminist and Fearless Lena Dunham
Writer, director, and feminist Lena Dunham was in town for her book tour. I have been a big Lena fan for quite some time, even before she was the well-known lady she is today.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
See website (www.starcitygreyhounds.org) for special events
Filling out an application
Checking references
A home visit
We want to make the adoption process as seamless as possible. We'll visit your home to ensure that everything is Greyhound friendly and to discuss any problems we may observe. We encourage potential adopters to check and read any available greyhound information. We recommend books and websites because you can't have too much information.
You and your dog pick each other. We may suggest a few we feel would work well in your home, but we believe that to have that incredible greyhound bond there needs to be a mutual attraction. Sometimes what an adopter is looking for is not what they fall in love with, and sometimes the dog just picks you and there isn't any more room for discussion.
We deliver the dog to their new family with their greyhound collar, muzzle and lead. The adopter is furnished with a copy of all medical records and a copy of the dog's racing record if possible. We love to keep in touch with "our" dogs and encourage all adopters to come to "meet and greets" and show off their dogs and help educate the public on the joys of being owned by a greyhound.
Our adoption fee is $250.00. This fee covers:
Spaying or neutering
Updating vaccines
Heartworm check
Dental cleaning
Bathing and flea treatment
Greyhound collar and lead
24 hour tech support
All dogs are vetted as soon as possible upon arrival at the kennel. They are not shown or available for adoption until this is done.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Man is a wight(beast), and a milchwight. Like all milkwights, man has four limbs, two of which are arms. Man is almost alone in making tools, and wholly alone in its skill with speech.
Man stands upright most of the time, and walks almost only on its hindlimbs, leaving the forelimbs free to handle and work with the hands. This handling of things is helped by the gainstanding thumb, which most other milchwights do not have.
Man is an ape. It is the one breed of Apes that walks upright. It was once more like the other apes, but through hundreds of thousands of years of growthbreeding, has become much more wise. It is often though of as uprightape, wiseape, or nakedape.

Threats to freedom of speech persist across the Middle East. In the wake of the attacks against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo by two young men claiming to fight for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, thousands spontaneously gathered in demonstrations across the country defiantly holding pens and proudly displaying signs declaring "Je suis Charlie." While solidarity demonstrations in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks were an affirmation of unity and resolve to uphold the liberal democratic values deeply held in Europe and the United States, they overshadow the true threat to freedom of speech originating from the Middle East: its repressive regimes.
The Charlie Hebdo attacks sparked an intense and at times uncomfortable discussion over what constitutes free speech and where the limits of protection lie. In the United States it means that the right for hate groups and extremists of all kinds to espouse their radical beliefs is protected unless the speech "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." But even this has limits; support for a constitutional amendment banning flag burning, which the American Civil Liberties Union has consistently argued is protected under the first amendment, enjoyed as high as a 71% approval rating less than three decades ago and has been considered several times by Congress. The European Union passed legislation enabling member countries to punish Holocaust denial with jail sentences in the mid-2000s. Blasphemy laws exist across the world not only in Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, but also Turkey, Germany, and Ireland. It is clear that across the globe it is an agreed upon principal that governments have the legal authority to set the limits of free speech according to their societies.
However, many regimes have used these laws limiting free speech as a cover to stifle political dissident. Pakistan is an example of proscribing religious strife to maintain peace and stability. In Pakistan, blasphemy laws have long been used as a disguise to settle personal disputes and discourage political dissent. Other examples include that of the Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes, up to 10 years in prison, and a fine of 1 million Saudi Riyals (after losing his appeal of the original sentence of 600 lashes and up to 7 years in prison no less) for "insulting Islam" on his website, The Liberal Saudi Network, which encouraged debate on religion and politics in Saudi Arabia.
In recent years Turkey, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, jailed the most journalists of any country in the world. As recently as December of last year, raids across the country detained at least 23 people for insulting public officials. The detainees included journalists and television producers linked to his political rival, the Pennsylvania-based cleric Fethullah Gulen who has accused the administration of corruption. Bassem Youssef, known as Egypt's "John Stewart" for his similar satirical television show that often targeted political leaders, was briefly arrested for "insulting the president" and "insulting Islam" under the short-lived Morsi regime and feeling similar pressure and harassment from elements connected to the al-Sissi government cancelled his show.
The repressive nature of these regimes that curtail free speech and legitimate political opposition in the guise of defending Islam or protecting against sedition set the conditions for violent extremism. Terrorist leaders like Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Osama bin Laden all grew up under regimes where violent crackdowns on political opposition, the jailing of dissidents, and prohibition of public criticism were common practices. Is it any wonder then that when men whose political identities are forged in autocracy and repression emerge as leaders they turn to coercion, control, and violence rather than conversation and compromise, and voting?
The United States needs to boost encouragement and increase pressure on regimes that restrict freedom of expression to make the necessary reforms that prevent social and political disenfranchisement, which furthers calls for violence to bring attention to grievances. It is far less costly to promote and encourage civic development before political despair leads down the path to violent extremism requiring a military or heavy-handed law enforcement solution. Without addressing the fundamental causes of alienation, which in addition to freedom of speech include the lack of socio-economic opportunity and government corruption, the terrorism and violence that increasingly spills over borders in a globalized world will continue to wash up on the America's shores.

Disclosure: I received free bentonite clay products in exchange for my honest opinion about them.
Redmond Clay is not clay like a product from Crayola. Redmond Clay is bentonite clay which has many uses, both internal and external. Take a moment and try to think about the softest thing that you have ever touched. I promise that Redmond Clay Powder is even softer! I cannot imagine anything being softer. The first time I touched it, I literally didn't want to stop!
Redmond Clay comes with a convenient flip top lid with a wide opening that makes it much easier to stick your hand inside. Which I have done countless times. I have applied the clay mixed with water to open wounds before going to bed at night and they were practically healed by morning. I also used it on a paper cut. Everyone knows how much a paper cut hurts. The pain was instantly gone! I look forward to taking some internally the next time I get heartburn (I have heard that it has a very nice taste) - not that I am looking forward to heartburn though!
Redmond Clay is an all natural bentonite healing clay that has been used for generations. Geologists tell us Redmond Clay is volcanic ash that was deposited in sea water long ago, where it would develop into a swelling-type sodium bentonite clay. Redmond Trading brings this "clay of a thousand uses" to market in its natural state with no additives, chemicals or preservatives.
I was a tad bit concerned when I saw that Proposition 65 warning label on the Redmond Clay, especially since we are trying to get pregnant. Read more about Redmond Clay's Prop 65 label here. Reading what I did at that link seriously allayed my fears.
My husband works long hours on his feet. He loves to soak his feet after a long day. Typically, he used Epsom salts. He was delighted to try Redmond Clay's Bath Salt Plus. This container lasted him for three foot soaks. He noticed that his skin felt smoother after using this than when he just uses Epsom salts.
How does Redmond Bath Salt promote better health?
Due to the abundance of natural trace minerals in our salt, Redmond Bath Salt provides healing properties for the skin and body. Toxins are released from the body into the bath water through osmosis, while trace minerals from the sea salt are absorbed through the skin.
Also with a convenient flip top lid that makes it easy to scoop some out and mix it in the tub.
The one thing that Michael did not like about the Redmond Clay Bath Salt Plus was the residue that got left behind after draining the tub.
Redmond Clay also makes a Facial Mud. This works incredibly well for my acne. I love how clean and tingly my face feels after using this. It really does a great job at exfoliating and giving my skin a true deep cleaning.
Redmond Clay Facial Mud is important to your skin's overall health and well-being. Facial Mud helps clarify your skin, remove excess oil, shrink pores, draw out toxins, tone skin, remove impurities, and deep clean your skin. Redmond Clay Facial Mud is safe for all skin types.

How do you explain the attack in the first two chapters?Please explain the attack on Curacoa!

2 Answers
We need to see this attack in the perspective of what was going on in World War II and in particular the links between the Dutch West Indies and the Allied forces. The oil-rich nature of this colony meant it was an incredibly important asset for the Allies, and this made it a target of the Nazis who were trying to cripple the supply lines of the Allies as part of their offensive strategy.
The German U-boat attacks were meant to knock out the all-important oil refineries found in the Dutch West Indies. The production of oil was a crucial asset to Allied shipping and was one of the best-protected areas in the world, since the German presence was limited in the Western Hemisphere.

7 Ways To Protect Yourself From Your Smartphone
By Stacy Vogler
Baby Boomers are are wholeheartedly embracing technology, including mobile devices. Research shows that Boomers are now the fastest growing segment of smartphone users. But as they access the latest technology, they have to be careful about exposing themselves to risks, such as identity theft. And they'll need to think about ways to protect their valuable mobile electronics.
Here are some tips:
1. Think of your smartphone as a mini-computer: Today's smartphones are often a preferred gateway for the web, and people use apps to execute transactions involving financial data. Don't think of your phone as just a handset; keep in mind that it has valuable data on it and that it is an expensive piece of equipment in its own right, just like your PC and other electronics. Protect it accordingly.
2. Don't fall for phishing scams: People tend to trust the messages they receive on their smartphones, but remember, an unsolicited email or download received on your phone is just as suspect as one you receive on your desktop or laptop. Never give out personal information, including information on health as well as finance and identity, via email or text message, and don't download apps from sources you don't absolutely trust.
3. Be careful about using public Wi-Fi: Logging onto a social media site like Facebook while using free Wi-Fi at the local coffee shop or airport lounge can help you avoid data charges from your carrier. But be wary of visiting secure sites such as a banking app while using public Wi-Fi. Scammers may be able to use the open stream to steal passwords and account information.
4. Make sure you password-protect your smartphone: About 40% of smartphones are not password protected. This is a huge mistake: If you don't set up a password, a thief can access your personal account data, contacts list and identifying information in just seconds if your smartphone is lost or stolen. Setting up a password is easy, and it won't delay you when answering calls. You can also put it on auto-lock, which means it locks down after a few minutes, making it even harder for a thief to access.
5. Download and set up a "find my phone" app: Some smartphones (such as iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c) come with a preloaded app that allows the user to remotely activate a "find my phone" feature they can use to track the whereabouts of the phone via a laptop, desktop, tablet or another smartphone. This is a great way to recover a lost or stolen phone, so make sure you set it up before you need it.
6. Make sure you understand your phone's default settings: Take a look at your phone's manual and go to the settings screen to turn features off and on according to your needs. The default settings may broadcast information you'd rather keep private, such as the exact location where a photograph was taken. Default settings may also enable remote access unless you turn it off.

I would highly suggest this canon product for anyone who wants a high quality camera with user friendly options and a great person to person help service. I strongly suggest you not use the memory disc that was given as an extra perk. When I used the disc as the starter for my first set of pics, it was not compatible and I lost pics of my grandchildren.Read More
So far, this camera has been exactly what I was looking for for the price and is an excellent product. As a previous owner of a Canon AE1 Program 35 mm camera, I was well aware of Canon's high level of quality and this camera has not failed in this area. This would be a great purchase for anyone looking to venture into the world of DSLR's.Read More
Easy to use camera, even for a moderate user. Good buy.Read More
The Rebel T3 has been great. Easy to use and the features are not complicated and are not difficult to understand.Read More
I love this camera! everything we wanted and more. Photos are absolutly beautiful. We are already looking for add on os to improve the camera even more.Read More
This camera is a wonderful camera for any beginner or amatuer photographer looking to step up from the smaller cameras. I've enjoyed taking many photos so far and will continue using for a lot more!! I felt that the site actually described what I actually received in the package and it was in excellent condition when it arrived. I only have one complaint, 55 mm lens was not quite big enough for what I was looking for, but that's pretty minor, I'll just get a bigger lens. Anyone looking to buy this camera, I don't believe, will be disappointed in the product.Read More
I would recommend this to anyone new to SLR. Its pretty fast and the images are good quality. Once mastery is achieved then its time to upgrade the lens. I am thrilled with this purchaseRead More
Exactly what we wanted. Good resolution and image stabilizer.Read More
The product has been great. I do wish that the description was clear that it DOES come with a battery and a charger, but that is my only complaint!Read More
I'm not very educated when it comes to operating a camera anymore sophisticated than the Sure Shots. I decided to take a chance and go for something a little more sophisticated that gave me more options for photography. I love this camera. So glad I bought it. Perfect for the amateur photographer but still has many features that a intermediate and even the advanced photographer would want on their camera. I did a lot of research and this camera was rated the best for my level of experience and it is the perfect camera for me. I bought the kit that includes everything to get started and it was a great price.Read More

Care For Life's focus on teaching, training, and supporting vulnerable children and families so that they can quickly and effectively support themselves not positively effects lives now, but also for many years to come. Care for Life helps families by teaching them the skills needed and giving them the opportunities for growth and stability whether it is regarding shelter, employment, or food and sanitation. I volunteered in Mozambique one summer and helped as rebuild houses and huts for vulnerable families who had been selected by the organization. The most memorable family was just two young brothers, both parents had died of AIDS. They were too young when their parents had died to learn how to manage a home. Our work helped establish them in the community and gave them skills to keep their living space sanitary and safe. Care For Life not only helped pay for their new house that as volunteers we built, but they followed the two boys and helped teach and train them along the way to ensure they had what they needed to keep moving forward. The organization's use of monetary and volunteer resources is incredible, with little to no slack or waste.
This non-profit organization isn't focused on handouts, it is focused on teaching life-changing skills that can be implemented from generation to generation. To me, one of the most important things you can do for someone is teach them self-sufficiency and give them opportunities to provide for themselves and their families. Care for Life has changed so many lives because it focuses on the individual and teaches the essential life skills. It is a wonderful organization.
This is my second year volunteering with Care For Life. My first experience was completely life-changing, and I knew then that this wouldn't be a one time thing. The work CFL does is too important, and it is the only model of its kind--an organization that enters a community already with an exit strategy. They know that you've done your job when you are no longer needed, and the communities they leave are infinitely better off than they were before. You can instantly tell the difference between a Care For Life village and a non-Care For Life Village. The yards are clean, the dishes are off the ground on a rack, water is being treated, there are mosquito nets, there are latrines, and people are starting small businesses. It is a truly incredible work, and I'm glad to be a part of it. CFL is a relatively new organization, and has to deal with everything that working in a third world country entails, but overall I have been extremely impressed and I see myself working a lot with Care For Life in the future.
I have seen first hand that Care for Life does exactly as its mission says- alleviates suffering, fosters self-reliance, and instills hope. They are an organization that intends to make a lasting positive impact on families in Mozambique. I was so impressed to see the programs truly making a difference when I volunteered in Mozambique in 2007. I would highly recommend CFL to anyone who is looking to work with an exceptional non-profit organization.
"Teach a man how to fish, he'll fish for a lifetime." That is exactly what Care for Life does. I became involved with this organization because I believe in its purpose. It has a high success rating and is effective in the communities they work in. The people of Mozambique notice and act on change, and that is how I know that this organization is of worth.
I decided to engage in a volunteer internship with Care for Life. In my time with them so far (one month), I have been so impressed with the programs and work that Care for Life does in Mozambique. CFL really focuses on engaging a whole community in their program that covers 8 basic areas (ex: education, health, economics, etc.) and really focuses on helping all members of a family (no matter what form that family takes) to gain knowledge and skills so that they can sustain themselves long after CFL has left their community. Because nothing is given away for free and everything is based on a system of earning rewards through goal-setting with each individual family, the effects are longer-lasting and pride is restored in communities that are so used to receiving handouts from other organizations that create dependency. With a specific program timeline that is fully explained to community leaders before entering a particular community and continued monitoring after they leave, CFL really works to make sure that they do not become a permanent part of a community that is dependent on them for support. I have been so impressed by this organization and its focus on working with families and would recommend that anyone go to their website to learn more and see how they can help as well.

7 Good Newbies Pointers For New Quilters
|Date Added: December 09, 2012 11:25:17 PM
|Author: Reva Whiteman
|Category: Arts & Humanities
|One of the more popular handicrafts these days is the art of quilting. People who have ever wondered how to make a quilt can read the guidelines below to get them started. My Top 7 Guidelines for Quilting Newbies... 1. What Fabric: Your decision making efforts are not over yet, now you have to think about the design, color and the fabric that your quilt would be made from. The creative process is totally up to you however if the quilt is meant for somebody you know that can make these decisions simple to make. Before you go on to the next stage of quilting process, you should wash, dry and iron the fabric materials. 2. What Pattern: The very first thing that ought to be taken into consideration is the size of the quilt and then choose an appropriate pattern. In order to get comprehensive information about this decision check out the websites on the internet, read quilting magazines and books or seek the advice of people that make quilts. The size of the quilt can also be affected by the kind of fabric you select. 3. Choose Batting: While learning how to make a quilt you need to get familiar with some of the quilting terms. The batting is the middle layer of the quilt. The higher the loft of the batting the warmer it would be but it would be a tough task to sew a thick batting. Fusible batting materials which stick to top and bottom layers when ironed are also available. With such materials, you don't have to do the basting. 4. Fabric Cutting: Using the pattern that you have chosen as a guideline cut out the pieces of material for your quilt. Lay out the material shapes on a table or on the floor so that it is possible to measure and cut the length of sashing you'll require to create a border on the quilt. 5. Backing Selection: The backing is often a big piece of solid fabric. Make sure that your backing is a couple of inches longer than the quilt from all sides so that you can use it for the edging as well. 6. Sew Layers: Use small and even stitches to sew the layers together in a similar way that the basting was performed, starting in the middle and working outwards. If the pattern includes sewing instructions follow them carefully. If you do not have any specific instructions, then just leave one quarter of an inch away from the seams and stitch all the blocks as well as the borders. 7. Quilt Trimming: The quilt edging work should be done now. Take away all the basting stitches before proceeding with the quilt edging. Bias tape needs to be sewn down one edge of the quilt and then folded over neatly to continue down the next side. While edging around the corners of your quilt, be very careful to fold the material neatly. To find more specific information, just go to www.Quilting-For-Beginners.org now.

Moments after Tesla shareholders agreed to acquire Solar City, Elon Musk claimed that the solar energy company's new solar shingles will be cheaper to manufacture and install than traditional roofs. And that's without including any energy production benefits the solar shingles will provide.
But make no mistake: These new solar shingles will still be a premium product. The terra cotta and slate roofs Tesla mimics are among the most expensive roofing materials on the market—costing as much as 20 times more than conventional asphalt shingles.
Bloomberg's Tom Randall reports that the bulk of the savings is actually anticipated to come from the shipment of the new shingles. Whereas traditional roofing materials can be brittle and prone to breakage while still being quite heavy, the new solar shingles are reported to weigh up to a fifth of traditional materials and are easier to ship.

I had researched the Speedblade irons and liked what I read. When I ordered these I didn't realize the difference between the regular Speedblades and the HL version. The HL's don't have the speed pockets. They have slightly bigger lofts.
These have a great investment since day one. I've noticed better distance and consistency overall since using these irons (granted, I was upgrading from some pretty old clubs). I have the 4-AW set, which is nice to have the 50 degree wedge included. When you strike these irons pure, the ball absolutely explodes off the face. The uniflex shafts are fine. Took me a few times on the range to get used to but they're just all around great irons for the price.
These irons are really long, picked up a club and a half. Good powerful feel...Light shafts feel nice. The dark coating isn't as durable as you might like, but decent. AW is not cavity back
I got the value set and came in really good shape and very happy with them! Love global golf
