If you feel a passion within you for birth, or you want to give something back, and personal growth as a doula is a priority for you, then we warmly invite you to take our Doula From Within Workshop and join our Certification Program.
Most doula programs and doulas focus primarily on techniques for caring for the parents in labor and postpartum. But our program begins with YOU. We believe it is important to begin with an exploration of what motivates you to begin this work (and our program). We consider things such as past experiences that have shaped your beliefs and attitudes about birth, what you hope to accomplish by attending parents in birth, your relationship with the medical model, and most importantly, your relationship to yourself as a doula.
Doulas are teachers. You are in a primary position to teach parents how to prepare for labor, ask questions and cope with pain (before and during labor), and how to prepare for the postpartum transition. So, learning communication skills and how to teach pain-coping practices will strengthen your effectiveness as a doula, and give you more satisfaction with your work
After the excitement of the workshop wears off, doulas can feel a little lost. New doulas develop confidence and skill when given extended support from peers and experienced doulas (especially after attending a difficult labor). So we created a one-of-a-kind HomeStudy Program that includes self-directed study and ongoing support to see you through to certification and beyond.
In 2007, we begin offering the new dual-training workshops. This means the Introductory Workshop includes both "The Art of Childbirth Mentoring" and the Doula Training so you can conveniently attend both at one time. If you want to become a Certified Doula, you must attend the Introductory Workshop. and enroll in our dual-certification program (Mentor + Doula). Because all Doulas are teachers and mentors, we require our doulas to be in both programs. Many of the requirements overlap, the fees are very reasonable, and the benefits are enormous! We are very proud of our doula certification program, and take care to ensure that our doulas are well-trained and get ongoing support throughout their Home-Study period and beyond!

Very well situated if you want the authentic experience of living in the Medina in Fez. The Dar was beautifully preserved and decorated and we appreciated the care and attention that has been put in to maintaining it. All amenities were perfect. The neighbors who met us and cooked us breakfasts and one traditional Tagine meal at our request were wonderful. They also organised a guide and we felt very lucky to have taken up that offer rather than try to see Fez on our own. We will always remember our stay at Dar Daheb - a real highlight in our Moroccan adventure.

Following recommendation by the Planning Commission, a conditional use permit (CUP) for the construction of a hog barn in Agram Township was approved by the County Board, Tuesday.
In April, Dale and Laurie Saehr submitted a CUP application to expand to a Tier III large-scale feedlot. They currently have a chicken broiler barn 43,000 chickens.
The expansion will consist of a total-confinement swine barn housing 2,400 head of finishing hogs.
A under-barn liquid manure storage area will provide more than nine months of storage. It is proposed that the swine manure will be injected and the poultry manure will be broadcasted and incorporated in surrounding fields.
The proposed barn is 2,860 feet north of Pierz Fish Lake. It is 4,700 feet northwest of the city of Genola and about one mile west of the city of Pierz.
A public hearing was held at a Planning Commission meeting, June 24. Landowners of both lakeshore property and other parcels spoke about their concerns regarding runoff from the farm into the lake, ground water contamination and odor from the farm invading nearby areas.
Tom Vanderheyden of Wayzata, a homeowner on the lake, represented the lake association. He has been the owner of lake property for 13 years, after visiting with his parents for the previous 20 years. Vanderheyden sits on the Wayzata Planning Commission.
"The request the association was making was for the county to wait to make a decision until data was received from studies about the geology and the groundwater in the area," he said. "The county was going to have much more information within 60 days."
When public input was completed and after discussion among the commission members, the commission was polled on each of seven guidelines which are used to assess the impact of a proposed use.
The first six guidelines passed unanimously, but the seventh was voted down 3-2. Commission members Chuck Parins, Randy Winscher and Paul Tschida agreed that the requested use will create an unreasonably adverse affect because of noise, odor, glare or general unsightliness for nearby property owners, Winscher said.
Winscher moved to deny recommending the CUP to the County Board, based on the negative finding of fact on the seventh guideline. That vote failed, 2-3.
A motion was made to approve recommending the CUP and it passed unanimously.
"I felt that the negative finding of fact was a true statement," Tschida said. "But the applicant meets all the guidelines that were necessary for the CUP."
"I was surprised by their behavior once there was a negative finding of fact. It was highly unusual," said Vanderheyden. "The motion to deny should have carried. I thought to myself, 'I can't believe they just did that,' and the county attorney said nothing."
"It's completely rational for a commission member to vote 'no' on a factor but ultimately vote to recommend the application once conditions have been attached," said County Attorney Brian Middendorf. "It's not surprising that a member would change their mind during the course of a long meeting."
"I understand changing your position as you learn more, but those votes were taken in sequence after the public hearing concluded and after the commission members discussed the issues," Vanderheyden said.
A motion to recommend the CUP to the Board was made and approved, with seven conditions attached.
The Saehrs must abide by the good neighbor plan; inject or incorporate manure within 48 hours of application; notify road authority when hauling during road restrictions; comply with local and state law; plant and maintain an 8-foot greenbelt on the south and east sides of the hog barn; stockpile poultry manure on proper soils per Minnesota feedlot rules or in an approved manure storage structure; and make no application of swine manure during Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day.
Concerns about water quality in Agram Township focus on the nitrate level.
"That area has extremely high nitrates in the water," said Pierz Mayor Toby Egan. "Pretty much everybody south of the lake needs to have a reverse osmosis filtration system."
At the Board meeting Tuesday, an eighth condition was added in an attempt to mitigate concerns about water quality, that the Saehrs may not apply manure to any field less than 2,000 feet from the ordinary high water level of the lake.
"Farming is very important to our community, but water quality is something that affects all of us," said Commissioner Kevin Maurer. "There are many things we don't know yet, but we want to try to do the best we can."
While the Board was not bound to the Planning Commission's recommendation, it did approve the CUP with the eight conditions.
"There is nothing in Minnesota statutes and nothing in our ordinances that would require every question to be answered in the affirmative in order to make a recommendation to the Board," said County Planning and Zoning Administrator Amy Kowalzek. "The seven factors are a tool for consideration. A hog barn is allowed in an agriculture-zoned district when it meets all the setbacks. It can only be denied if concerns cannot be mitigated with conditions."
Landowners attended Tuesday's Board meeting, hoping to be allowed to speak.
"The Morrison County Land Use Ordinance identifies procedures to follow for a CUP," said County Administrator Deb Gruber. "The public was engaged in the process. The public hearing was held as prescribed. At the board meeting, the commissioners brought forward concerns heard at the public hearing or from constituent feedback. Last-minute addition of items to the board agenda would apply to topics not already listed on the agenda or those that do not have a differing and overriding public comment process."
"Acting before you have accurate information is probably not a good idea, with regard to not waiting for the results of the studies," Egan said.
Requiring certain conditions has not put to rest concerns by area residents.
"I'm concerned about the odor to our city, with the prevailing summer winds from the west or southwest," Egan said. "I really have concerns about the resale value of property around the lake and in our city, if the feedlot becomes a nuisance."
Egan is also troubled about development potential for Pierz.
"The logical place to expand is to the west, and this really limits where we can develop," he said. "With a feedlot in that location, it will be next to impossible to do."
"As a Morrison County taxpayer, I'm concerned about the governance process I watched take place," Vanderheyden said. "A slight pause while waiting for more information may have been worthy, but it was not taken by either body. The lake association is in conversation about what action to take."

Madonna's answers to some tough topics on the Oprah show:
Does Celebrity Affect the adoption process?
"I assure you it doesn't matter who you are or how much money you have, nothing goes fast in Africa," Madonna says. "There are no adoption laws in Malawi. And I was warned by my social worker that because there were no known laws in Malawi, they were more or less going to have to make them up as we went along. And she did say to me, 'Pick Ethiopia. Go to Kenya. Don't go to Malawi because you're just going to get a hard time.'"
The state of David's health
"When I met him, he was extremely ill," Madonna says. "He had severe pneumonia, and he could hardly breathe. I was in a state of panic, because I didn't want to leave him in the orphanage because I knew they didn't have medication to take care of him. We got permission to take him to a clinic to have a bronchial dilator put on him. … He had pneumonia and was given an injection of antibiotics. He's still a little bit ill, not completely free of his pneumonia, but he's much better than he was when we found him."
At home with Lourdes and Rocco
"They just embraced him, and that's the amazing thing about children," she says. "They don't ask questions. They've never once said, 'What is he doing here', or mentioned the difference in his skin color, or questioned his presence in our life. That is an amazing lesson that children do teach us."
Madonna addresses David's biological father's recent comments
"Here's what I knew. David had been living in this orphanage since he was two weeks old," Madonna says. "He had survived malaria and tuberculosis, and no one from his extended family had visited him since the time he arrived. So from my perspective, there was no one looking after David's welfare."
Once David's father was located, he initially said he gave his son up for adoption always hoping that someone like Madonna would be able to give him a better life, and agreed to the adoption. Now, according to the press, David's father is saying he did not fully understand what he was doing when he agreed to let Madonna adopt his son.
"I do not believe that is true. I sat in that room, I looked into that man's eyes," Madonna says. "I believe that the press is manipulating this information out of him. I believe at this point in time, he's been terrorized by the media. They have asked him things, repeatedly, and they have put words in his mouth. They have spun a story that is completely false."

I keep looking for more and more ways to have my Apple Watch be really functional without having it talk to my phone when I need the function it's performing. One of those can easily be looking at photos. One of these is to sync some photos to the watch so that if my battery dies or I leave my phone on my desk, I still have access to photos if I want to get to some. To sync pictures from your
First, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Then tap on Photos in the list of apps under the default My Watch tab.
From the Photos screen, choose to be notified of alerts. I leave this set to Mirror My iPhone. Then, set the Synced Album to any album on the phone that you'd like to sync to the watch. This might be Camera Roll, the default, or you can select any album that you've created. After I did this, I've created a new album call watch that syncs all the pictures I want on my watch.
Tap on Photos Limit to configure how much space you allow the photo album to fill up on your watch. You can select 25, 100, 250 or 500 photos, which nets 5MB, 15MB, 40MB and 75MB respectively. Then tap
Then wait. The photos will be sync'd to your Watch.

You waited. And you tapped your fingers on the desk. And you sat and waited some more, for the UPS person. You stared at your mailbox. And then, after all of that, UPS showed up. And you signed. And then you had that box in your hands. The cardboard box, when opened, gave way to a sweet white box. You opened it by pulling the little tag off, and then you pulled the watch out of the box. You tried on the two bands. And you picked the one that fit you the best.
So now what? Turn on the watch by hitting the button on the side and watch that beautiful Apple logo light up the screen. But now you need to pair the watch with your phone for it to be useable. So what to do? Well, first of all, make sure your phone is updated to the latest and greatest version of iOS. From there, open the Apple Watch app on the iPhone.
The app will prompt you to start pairing a watch with the phone. You can only pair one watch with an iPhone. Tap the Start Pairing button. When prompted, line up the screen on the watch with the image and the outline.
Wait for the watch to complete pairing and then tap the Set Up Apple Watch button.
You'll then be prompted for which wrist to put the watch on. I used my dominant wrist, so right.
You'll then be prompted to accept the Terms and Conditions (aka license agreement) from Apple. Tap Agree.
Tap Agree again.
Next, when prompted for the Apple ID to use, if you'd like to use an Apple ID with the watch, provide the password for that Apple ID using the Enter Password button, or use the Skip This Step option to skip the Apple ID.
At the Location Services screen, tap OK. This is really just informational to let you know that Location Services will be used. It's kinda' necessary to use the watch properly.
At the Siri screen, again, you're informed that Siri will be used. Tap OK.
At the Diagnostics screen, same thing. You're informed that diagnostics will be supplied to Apple. Tap OK.
At the Apple Watch Passcode screen, choose whether you'd like to use a passcode on the watch. I'm not a fan of using a passcode on the watch; however, you will have to use one if you want to use Apple Pay on the watch. Tap Create a Passcode to set one up now and then provide the passcode you'd like to use.
The Apple Watch will sync apps and show glances from apps that are on the phone. Tap Install All to go ahead and install any Apple Watch apps on the device. You can always turn them off later. Or you can tap Choose Later to go ahead and complete setup and wait until later to set up the watch and finish apps setup later. I'd recommend using Install All and then turn off the ones you don't want later.
Then the watch will start syncing with your devices. At the Apple Watch Is Syncing screen, wait. Don't do anything else or get the watch too far from the phone or you'll have to start over from scratch.
The watch looks like this while it's syncing.
Once the watch is finished syncing, use the My Watch app to sync apps, show glances, setup Apple Pay and configure which built-in apps are shown on the device.
The next and most important aspect of your new Apple Watch is to use it and love it. Go for a run, sync some apps, enjoy the hell out of your new watch. It's great. Now, get to it!

ChronoSync is one of those tools that's been in the Mac community for a long time (rightfully so). It's been a little while since I got the chance to really tinker around with ChronoSync so I thought I'd do a little article on what I got to find during my tinkerations. To get started with ChronoSync, go to their website at http://www.econtechnologies.com/chronosync/overview.html. Next, we're going to walk through the most basic of setups (and you can get all kinds of complicated from there if you'd like!).
Once you've downloaded, ChronoSync, run the installer from the disk image that was downloaded.
Then walk through the installer, basically following the defaults (unless you'd like to install to a volume other than your boot volume).
Once the installer is finished, open the app and register the product.
Once registered, you'll see a nice screen giving you a few options. We're going to create a single plan (synchronizer document) to backup a single source to a single target. To do so, click on the option to "Create a new synchronizer document".
At the Setup screen, you have a right and left column. When I used to do a lot of manual migrations, I would always always always line up my source on the left and my target on the right (or invariably you risk data loss by copying in the wrong direction), so the workflow in ChronoSync has always made sense to me. Because a lot of the data I use needs root access, I'm going to select "Local Volumes (Admin access)" in the "Connect to" field and then use the Choose button to select my actual source. Repeat that process in the Right Target section of the screen.
The default action that will be performed is to backup from the left to the right targets (the term target referring to the folder, not that it's a source or target in the backup operation). Click into the Operation field to bring up a list of the options that can be performed between your left and right targets.
The option I'm selecting is "Synchronize Bidirectional" as this is an article about syncing data. The other options are pretty well defined in the manual, but it's worth mentioning that the Bootable Mirror options are especially useful. Once you've set the type of sync, you can also use the Options menu to define some pretty granular settings for your sync. For the purposes of this sync, which brings over server shares, I'm going to leave Conflict resolution set to Ask User and use the custom option under the Special File/Folder Handling section to enable the "Verify copied data" option and "Preserve Comments" option. Note that if you're doing this on servers and would like to stop a service (such as postgres) before a sync and start it after, you can use the scripts section of this screen. You can also configure notifications, sending emails when syncs have errors, or every time there's a sync.
Click Rules to build inclusion/exclusion rules (for example, I don't often sync things like operating system and software installers since I can just go download them again, pretty easily). Click Archive in the sidebar if you'd like to remove files based on a trigger (e.g. if it's been removed from the source, archive it, etc).
Next, you can simply click Synchronize to run an immediate sync of the files and folders you've defined in your Sync Document. Or, you can click Add to Schedule to define when you'd like to run your Synchronization Documents.
There, less than 5 minutes and we've got a pretty advanced sync going. Use the Log button to see how everything went. And remember, always verify that the archives and backups are running on a good schedule. For example, I like to have at least a weekly cadence to make sure that media one each side of a sync can still open. It helps me sleep better.

I'm sure you've heard by now. But just in case you hadn't logged into iWork.com in awhile or let the to-do lapse, it's just worth a reminder that iWork Public Beta, the site that you could upload Pages, Numbers and Keynotes to, is being deprecated. The end comes on today.
In other words, if you have documents up on the site, you should download them immediately or you won't be able to come August. Apple has even provided a document explaining how.
The service that was being provided by the iWork public beta is replaced by iCloud. Using iCloud, you can sync your documents between all of your devices. When you configure iCloud in System Preferences, you are prompted to sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks, but iCloud also gets configured for file synchronization as well at that time. While iCloud doesn't allow you to edit documents online, you can access them through the iCloud web portal and download them from any computer you like. The new iCloud integration also allows for seeing all your documents in each supported app, when first opened:

Google recently decided that it was time to force some other company to buy cloudy dispositioned upstarts, Dropbox and Box.net. Google also decided that Office365 represented Microsoft being a little too brazen in their attempts to counteract the inroads that Google has made into Microsoft territory. Therefor, Google thumped their chest and gave away 5GB of storage in Google Drive. Google then released a tool that synchronizes data stored on a Google Drive to Macs and Windows systems.
Installing Google Drive is pretty easy. Just browse to Google Docs and Google will tell you that there's this weird new Google Drive thing you should check out.
Here, click on Download Google Drive for Mac (or Windows if you use Windows). Then agree to give your first born to Google (but don't worry, they'd never collect on that debt 'cause they're sworn to do no evil).
Once downloaded, run the installer. You can link directly to your documents now using https://drive.google.com.
The only real question the installer asks is whether you'd like to automatically sync your Google Drive to the computer. I said yes, but if you've got a smallish drive you might decide not to. Once the Google Drive application has been downloaded and installed, open it (by default it's set to open at startup). You'll then see a icon in the menu bar that looks a little like a recycling symbol. Here, click on Open Google Drive folder.
The folder with your Google Docs then shows up on your desktop. Copy an item in there and it syncs up to Google. It can then easily be shared through the Google Apps web portal and accessed from other systems.
While there are still a number of features that Box.net and Dropbox will give you due to the fact that they're a bit more mature, I'd expect Google Drive to catch up fast. And given that I already have tons of documents in Google Docs, it is nice to have them saved down to my local system. I'm now faced with an interesting new challenge: where to draw the line in my workflow between Google Drive, Dropbox and Box.net. Not a bad problem to have, really! Given the frustrations of having things strewn all over the place I'll want to minimize some of the haphazardness I've practiced with regards to why I put things in different places in the past. In some cases I need to be able to email to folders, have expiring links or to have extended attributes sync between services, so there are some aspects that are likely to be case-by-case… Overall though, I'm very happy with the version 1 release of Google Drive. I mean, who complains about free stuff!?!?!

I'd still like to have a better way to have a centralized iTunes media server. But in lieu of that I'm OK keeping multiple libraries in sync. One way to do this is to use a tool such as rsync to actually synchronize the files. But this isn't going to keep the iTunes library updated on what files were added. For that consider TuneRanger. TuneRanger will keep iTunes for Windows or Mac in sync. More importantly it will update your playlists to accommodate for the new location of your media.
TuneRanger also makes a nice addition to the switchers toolbelt. You can use it to synchronize media from a Windows to computer to a Mac (or vise versa) without having to rebuild all of your playlists. And it let's you do so graphically without doing a find and replace in a file for paths, etc. Overall, it's working nicely so far. I like the fact that I need to authorize all of the computers that will be playing purchased content. Makes me feel legit (and the library is 100% legal btw). Again I'd prefer a centralized repository that doesn't force me to have all of the library sprawled across 3 different computers. But in lieu of that, synchronization is the next best thing…

I fell into my passion of photography a few years ago & haven't looked back since. I love it! I shoot weddings with my very good friend Tori….we have a ball together & feel super lucky to have found each other. I also shoot portraits & a bit of commercial stuff here and there.
WHAT: The place we like to call home is a warehouse conversion. When we first found this wee gem it reminded us of a New York style apartment. In the first month I reckon I skipped down the hallway every morning (just a little over joyed!).
So upstairs is home – where we are flooded with beautiful natural light, huge windows, a high stud, white exposed brick, polished concrete/wooden floors, floor to ceiling book shelves…..and my most fave thing ever, a bath tub. Do you know how hard it is to find a bath tub in Richmond?!
Downstairs is our photography studio. We were super fortunate to have come across this find. We have a separate office space downstairs also where we get the majority of our work done(our editing cave). When we are not here we are hitting up one of our fave cafes 'Cheerio' (who seriously do the best porridge in Melbs!) with our laptops in tow or even better getting our butts around the "Tan" (botanical gardens). This is where all our great ideas happen. We are like wee school girls …it gets a bit exciting thinking of all the fun possibilities…….Watch this space…
WHERE: We are residents of Jessie Street (in what's known as the Island State) suburb of Richmond…they say once you move here you never leave. Yes we can see why! We neighbour mostly commercial businesses. The beautiful & talented ladies of Flower Jar, Ginger Recording Studios, a film maker of docos, a magazine house…you name it! We have just started a Jessie St pot luck dinner every month……it's super fun! And it's so nice to be able to wander home after a few too many vinos and know that your front door is just a few steps away(& bed for that matter). The thing I love most about Richie is the location -we are so close to everything. My hubby is super passionate about his sports so having the MCG & all the other stadiums at our finger tips is heaven for him. I love being close to my friends, the cafes & botanical gardens and the city is a 2 minute train ride away too. And if you are after a bargain you can wander the back streets of Richmond & stumble across loads of hidden treasures. Fashion designer's warehouses with endless sales…….it's trouble with a capital T.
DESCRIPTION: So we stumbled across this place by pure chance. Cal and I were living a stones throw from here in a much smaller space & were both renting separate offices. After 4 years we thought why not combine the two and find a super cool living space where one of us could work from home. And we did. Literally a week later I popped out for a wander and found myself staring at this bright orange door ….when someone came out and offered to show me around I jumped at the chance. Once inside I immediately called Cal and said 'babe get over here now….this is amazing'. And just like that we managed to land our humble abode.
The reason it works for us is we just have so much space, it's super central to everything, we love our neighbours , our views are pretty cool too & having the studio downstairs is the icing on my cake. We just LOVE being at home…This interview was made possible with the support and partnership of Elk.

Finders Keepers Part.2
Standout home wares designers included The Mod Collective, whose master craftswomen Valissa Butterworth's appreciation of colour, form and the very essence of modernism provided particular visual splendour.
Butterworth's work stands on it's own, as does her ability to curate a kaleidoscopic showcase of precision moulded ceramics in all the colours of the rainbow. We left the stall with a sneaking suspicion that this is one name to watch.
Not far across the floor, were regional Victoria's ceramic darlings; Angus & Celeste whose extensive collection included ceramic hanging baskets, decorative vases and boutique jewels strung on silver chains which drew a swollen queue of feverish customers.
Textiles both vintage and new age, were represented in full force. Alongside eco friendly and oh–o-sweet brand Mookah, were up and coming Beneath the Sun. Entering the stage as a welcome revival of colour blocked and playful pillow slips, cushion covers, novelty tea towels and (not surprisingly) a side of delightful stationary. Byron Bay's Leah Bartholomew has been running the brand for less than a year, and is already making her mark. As colourful and vibrant as her textiles – we were able to sneak a few pretty pics (thanks Leah!)All images: Beneath the Sun
Moving right along to Ernest Hope, where Sydney based textile and fabric enthusiast Erin, has also gone wild on cushions and pillows, but in her own special way. Having collected fabric for the past 20 years, Erin's cushions feature their own little slice of history. Salvaged drapery from a dated Miami Hotel is turned inside out and paired with Belgium linen, creating muted tones of days gone by. A series of intricate lace doilies from the seamstress's very own wedding have been hand sewn onto cushion covers, leaving no one item the same and all have cleverly imbedded a story of their own. Ernest Hope's one off pieces have spawned a mini revolution of 'couples' cushions – featuring thread sewn names against vintage hues.All images: Ernest Hope
Like a moths to a bright flame, we were drawn to a particularly curious chameleon who appeared from her own jungle of elaborate light and colour. Tamara, was the face behind Retro Print Revival, whose mesmerizing one off refurbished lamps feature 1960s and '70s ceramic bases matched with vintage fabrics. Shades featured a fabric edition of Frida Kahlo's garden, monochromatic geometric prints and a version of Eric Carle's legendary 'Hungry Caterpillar' – a must for any well informed nursery.All images: Retro Print Revival
Among many other stand out exhibits were Masai Mara Jewellery by Kristina Brenke and Mara & Nick's Melbourne based Print Space, displaying a beautiful collection of graphic prints.All images: Print Space
As the afternoon drew to a close, we fell upon the good girls from Frankie Magazine, whose mags had sold out bar their very last copy but who were only too happy to have a chat. The Frankie team are celebrating the recent release of a new publication, 'Smith Journal'. Frankie's largely feminine roots have wriggled into a brave new space of 'man reading' (for lack of better phrase) and Smith Journal reveals an authentic alternative to existing men's magazines which are sadly awash with semi clad airbrushed ladies and luxury brand toting millionaires. Thank you Frankie for changing the way our men read!Image: gorgeous girls from Frankie mag.
WOW. What a day – what an event – and what an inspiration. The Finders Keepers is a must for anyone looking to experience grass roots trade of world class design wares. The people, the colour, the excitement and the lack of compromise to living the creative dream was rife – and we left feeling the love.www.sallygoodall.com

Finders Keepers Part.1
Introducing a brand NEW feature at Studio Home! For the very very first time we are working with some talented guest contributors who can peep in the back door of their local hot creative spots and offer first hand reporting at events simply out of my geographical reach! Breaking the way forward we have Sally providing the pics and Erica bringing you the words in a two part series on last weekends Finders Keepers in Melbourne. Read on dear design enthusiasts!
Brain child of Sydney-siders Brooke Johnston and Sarah Thornton, the Finders Keepers design markets was kicked off back in 2008, established with the goal of bridging an invisible gap between 'the local weekly style markets and expensive trade fairs & exhibitions … providing affordable opportunities for designers to gain exposure and experience interaction direct with customers and the community.' (Finders Keeper's website)
This year Melbournites were lucky enough to revel in the bi annual market over two days, held in one of the city's most beautifully restored historical relics – The Royal Exhibition Building parked up on the city's cusp in Carlton.
Clockwise from top left: Sally Goodall and Erica Keppel going deep undercover, The amazing Royal Exhibition Building, Brooke Johnston from Finders Keepers, visitors pumped on the event and the grand building filled to the brim!
Chatting with Brooke Johnston we learn that Finders Keepers has slowly evolved since inception, into a creative being complete with its' very own pulse and breath. Despite clear vision and laborious co ordination by the dedicated founders, Brooke and Sarah reside as purveyors to an independent creative phenomenon which now resides among the most anticipated events on Australia's Design calendar.
Finders Keepers is pure brilliance – and at once, refreshingly sincere. Johnston explained that locking in the Carriage Works venue back in Sydney marked a pivotal point to the emergence of the 'real' Finders Keepers. What was always intended as a thoughtfully curated experience, and a design orientated market place for independent artisans and enthusiasts alike to interact in the flesh. When asked what has been the greatest of challenges to date, Brooke suggested that this year's event in Melbourne sticks out as an impressive feat.
On entering, we realise that this is no sleepy country market place selling last year's cucumber pickles, this is in fact a cutting edge platform from which many of Australia's finest creative talent have sprung into wide acclaim.
There is an intimacy here. A sense that the Finders Keepers Markets is a safe hollow for a community who have been quietly (or not so quietly in the case of more established brands) working away to perfect their own cog in the larger creative wheel. These budding artisans have joined in hoards, all bright and bold, eager and engaging, in a show case of design wares, art, music and food.
Though it's tricky business short listing such an extensive ream of artisans, we aimed to capture a snapshot of what Studio Home readers would enjoy. We snapped and swooned until we could no more, taking breaks only to share in Melbourne's finest in mobile street food from the Taco Truck and Beatbox Kitchen … and again with Mr Nice Guy Cup Cakes!

To begin, it was impossible to ignore how massive the independent stationary niche has become. Where humour presides as a common pulling factor (Game & Able and TMOD spring to mind), old world processes have been lovingly revived by brands such as Truth be Told and Bespoke Letter Press – whose pieces combine lusciously strung sentiments such as "loving you is easy because you're beautiful" while paying due homage to traditional typeface and letterpress techniques.
Left to right: Able & Game cards, the Truth Be Told stand, sweet words from Bespoke Letterpress
A Happy Death is the cleverly marketed brand under which Sydney based Kara Town has spun her own tune to the mix tape era along with some beautifully re-coloured vintage postcard prints. A very cool stationary line indeed.

Next up was an intriguing conversation with the talented Torunn Higgins behind Sydney born Herbert & Friends. Not only does this clever creative, fashion beautifully detailed soft creatures – including a friendly dungaree wearing Sloth and a rather razzle-dazzle version of your everyday Mountain Yeti, she also dabbles in the odd piece of furniture made entirely of felt. That's right, Torunn has managed to wrangle an iconic 1980's telephone from a combination of cardboard, felt and thread over a three day sewing bender. I was ecstatic to hear her repertoire was not limited to woodland creatures and novelty tele-communications, and that Torunn also boasts amongst felty achievements, a modest typewriter – and wait for it – a Synthesizer. Craft Crush. Amen.

Just as my mind began to ponder the many ways I could serenade my lover with this big, soft synth … I was distracted by the works of Melbourne based Illustrator Emma Leonard, who turns out to be just as gorgeous as her prints. Emma uses mixed mediums, including ink and water colour to produce wonderfully expressive and feminine sketches. On chatting with Emma, we learn she is just as excited about her work as her fans!
Right! Pop back for round two of the Finders Keepers report tomorrow!
Rollie Nation
While in Melbourne earlier in the week I caught up with my friend Sally Goodall (glorious photographer!) and couldn't help but notice her awesome kicks!

[Yuricon] Marimite season 3?
Hello everyone,
I've recently started watching this Series (Yes, Internet Pirate, but would indeed buy a box set of the series to show off if they actually published it in the States) and in my opinion, find it pretty darn captivating. I can echo like someone before on here mentioned how their personal High school Experience as kind of "Eh, yeah sure-sure," but We didn't have Roses, Festivals and Clubs were I went. It's kind of like an Azumanga Diaoh only with more dimentions and more drama then just being silly and goofy. Just a cool series. ^^
There has been something I have been wondering about the Maria-Sama Ga Miteru series, or should I say about many Anime Television Series. Are they shown in the morning to watch before school? Is it kind of like the Simpsons or various other American shows that everyone watches at night a chats about the next day?
I dunno, it's kind of a strange question, but It's interesting to me to know what kind of age their target audience is.
AH ^^b
If only there was a third Season.. *pout*

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct your thither.For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.

The problem of prevention
Many disasters are foreshadowed by insufficient preventative care. In this paper, we argue that there is a true problem of prevention, in that insufficient care is often the result of rational calculations on the part of agents. We identify three factors that lead to dubious efforts in care. First, when objective risks of a disaster are poorly understood, positive experiences may lead to an underestimation of these risks and a corresponding underinvestment in prevention. Second, redundancies designed for safety may lead agents to take substandard care. Finally, elected officials have an incentive to underinvest in prevention for some disasters, especially those that are relatively unlikely.

Ariel Sharon is presently waging the most difficult and complicated political battle of his life. He is now proceeding against the rigid ideology that he has always supported, and that has guided his actions for decades. At the beginning of the 1970s, Sharon initiated and encouraged the building of settlements, taking care to plant them just where their presence would block any possibility of an arrangement that would include an Israeli withdrawal and separation from the occupied territories. Over the past three decades it was Sharon who impeded any diplomatic process that might, in his opinion, have led to the evacuation of settlements.
Now he must wage an uncompromising battle against a reality that he himself shaped, and against a world-view of which he was among the most important and charismatic creators and symbols. He must also face hundreds of thousands of Israelis - not only settlers - who saw him as their admired leader and guide, many of whom now see him as a traitor.
And it makes no difference what Sharon's hidden motives were when he decided to disengage from the Gaza Strip. He almost always has a hidden motive, and there is almost always some kind of "double-bottomed suitcase" to his proposals and his moves. He himself admitted recently that he put forth his disengagement plan in order to block "defeatist" initiatives, such as the Geneva accords, that sprang up due to the country's diplomatic vacuum and its consequent frustration.
Whether his motive is to manipulate or to bring about true change, Sharon is now leading one of the most important processes to take place between Israel and the Palestinians since the 1967 war - a war that Israel did not want, and ended in its occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The evacuation of the Gaza settlements - and an additional four small settlements in the West Bank - represents an awareness and admission on the right's part that Israel cannot continue to rule over the Palestinians by force. Sharon would certainly disagree with this definition, but the fact that the idea of disengagement was raised at all demonstrates acceptance of the notion that some time in the future Israel will be forced to withdraw from the other occupied territories it controls as well. Above all, the majority's acceptance of the disengagement plan means that the nationalistic and religious ideology of the Israeli right - an ideology that has, since the beginning of the 20th century and to this day, rejected the land's division into two states - is a complete failure.
Sharon is now acting with great personal and public courage. Unfortunately, however, even while conducting this important and historic revolution, he has not succeeded in freeing himself from the belligerence and short-sightedness that have characterised his entire political career. He is not using the Israeli withdrawal - from the occupied territories and from a rigid ideology - as an opportunity to renew dialogue with the Palestinians and perhaps to move toward a comprehensive arrangement with them. Instead, he is evacuating 7,500 settlers and the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip unilaterally, while totally ignoring the Palestinians. To him, they are not a party to this process.
Consequently, it is important to take a realistic view and understand that what is about to happen is neither a peace agreement nor a peace process. Moreover, the Palestinian resistance to the occupation will continue, for most Palestinian lands will remain under Israel's control, and - according to international law - Israel's responsibility. Sharon does not hide his opinion that a withdrawal from Gaza will be to Israel's advantage, enabling it to win the approval of the United States (at least under George Bush) and to "launder" and perpetuate Israel's occupation of the West Bank. Some 230,000 settlers now live in the West Bank, which is the heart of the settlement movement and its ideological focus. Moreover, most Israelis have a much stronger emotional, religious and national connection to the West Bank than they have to the Gaza Strip. Thus, by 'sacrificing" the Gaza settlements, Sharon is making a move, known in chess as a gambit, in order to save his queen - an Israeli presence in the West Bank.
And perhaps this also explains the extraordinary vigour of the battle the settlers are now waging against the disengagement from the Gaza Strip. For even if many settlers suspect that the fight for Gaza is already lost, there are some who intend to turn their struggle against the disengagement into a symbol. They are a small but violent and stubborn minority who may have an interest in burning that struggle into the Israeli consciousness as a terrible national shock, even a national trauma, in order to ensure that many years will pass before an Israeli leader will dare to take the risk of evacuating additional settlers from the West Bank.
The settlers' struggle is already forceful and vitriolic. It includes threats against Sharon's life, and expresses utter contempt for the rule of law in Israel. Their terminology reveals the intensity of the fear that presently engulfs them. They call the government officials charged with preparing for the evacuation a "Judenrat' (the Jewish council the Nazis established in the ghettos to make the process of exterminating the Jews more efficient, among other functions), and they term soldiers willing to participate in the evacuation "Nazis", no less. Rabbis and rightist public figures call on soldiers to disobey orders and not to participate in the "expulsion of the Jewish people from its land".
The settlers' language exposes the fact that many of them relate to the state of Israel - and its democratic character - as merely an intermediate stage on the way to fulfilling a "greater" national, religious and messianic idea. Israel's silent majority has been shocked to learn the true price of the admiring and forgiving indulgence that it displayed toward the settlers over the years. Only now - and, perhaps, too late - has the average Israeli awak ened to discover that his passive acceptance of the settlers' behaviour toward the Palestinians has helped them become a danger to him personally, as well as to his government, his democracy, and his state.
No, we should not ignore the pain of the thousands who are to be evacuated. For them, the disengagement represents a shattered dream, a tragic uprooting from home and homeland. But the state of Israel cannot allow this minority to dictate to it and to prevent it from realising a better future. No one doubts that after yesterday's vote, the settlers will continue to fight the disengagement plan with all their might, and some will not be particular about their means. Despite all this, it is possible that Israel has begun a process that may in the future enable it to end the occupation, and to return to a healthier and more optimistic way of life.

With T.Wills and D.Harris I just don't see Miles coming back next year
I see him here for a while.
No I think he stays at least 2 more years after this one
Miles in under contract until 2017, Who is to say if he has a big year that the Cowboys would not put him on the trading blocks?
He will definitely be back . He is still in his prime .
It doesn't matter how good Harris or Williams are. If Miles is healthy and preforms like he did in 2009, he will be back. If he continues to struggle to stay on the field and hampered by injuries he won't. It's pretty simple.
I can see them letting him walk, especially if he suffers from nagging injuries again. But I think JG really likes him and they'd try to keep him around if they can.
Ask me this time next year.
<sneaky like a ninja>
Why are some people eager to see him leave? He is only 29. The more weapons for Romo, the better.
If he stays healthy for the season, then he remains on the team in 2014.
If he missed significant times with injuries, then he could be cut.
He is highly unlikely to be traded. If a team wanted to pay a player his salary, they would just sign a Free Agent.
Miles contract this year is 3.5 but it jumps next season to 8.2 mill in 2014 and then 9.6 Mill in 2015. I like Miles and I hope he has a big year but Cowboys always get accused of holding on to a player and given the contract he has and what will certainly be a big contract coming up for Dez I would think looking to trade a guy like Miles could be big for Dallas. After all to get something good in trade you have to be willing to give up something good. Just a thought.
We need Miles in the slot, Williams to develop on the outside, and Harris to run back kicks and fill in receiving as necessary.
I should add that if Miles can't play because of injuries, we're going to have to do without him, just like any other player who can't get on the field.
If the numbers " 8.2 mill in 2014 and then 9.6 Mill in 2015" are correct, then no, Miles will not be back unless he settles for less. I don't think the Cowboys cap could handle that. The ball will be spread around to Dez, Witten, Miles and other WRs, and RBs. So, I don't see Miles having a Calvin Johnson monster year which would justify paying him so much. Time to move on. And no more restructuring and playing around with Miles' contract. Take less, a lot less or see you later. The Cowboys have paid him more than enough and had to pay a cap penalty on top of it.
I really think Williams was drafted in the hopes that, this year, we could move Miles to the slot, and in the next year, release him. But if Miles has a big year, I believe its going to be hard to let him walk, even if he is scheduled to make 8 million or whatever that number is. Perhaps a longer term deal at a lower cap hit could be negotiated.
Nope I think he will stay too. I admit I've underrated the guy.
Well, I don't think a trade is ever out of bounds. If a trade is dependent on his salary, they could simply re-work his contract to make it more incentive-based.
Exactly. T Will was drafted with the idea of replacing Miles if he doesn't have a good season. Or at a minimum, putting pressure on Miles in the offseason negotiations if he does put up an excellent season this year. There is no way Miles gets 8MM for next season, the real question is whether he takes a lower salary or forces his release to go to another team. A negotiated lower salary is the mostly likely scenario IMO.
He will re-work his contract and stay.
thats his cap hit, not his salry. his salry for this year is 840k. next year it is 5.5 mil.
cutting him next year would cost money but could be spread over two years. more likely he plays here next year if he stays healthy and productive this year then is cut the following year when it actually saves you money. his contract runs thru 2016 but is 11 mil the last year so he won't be here past 2015 at the most
If he has a good year he will be back at least 1 more maybe two.... But once TWill develops he will be our #2 and Austin won't be making 8 or 9 million a year as our #3.... So I think it depends I don't think he makes it til 2017 but this won't be his last year either so we will see

Penny was great, very helpful with recommendations. The breakfast every morning is well worth the extra 2€. Facilities are nice, showers are warm and the beds are fairly comfortable. The only problem is that if you arrive at night, it can be a little difficult to find. I would definitely recommend taking advantage of the airport transfer that they offer. If I ever return to Malta, I would stay here again.

Very nice building, helpful staff, good location (if a little difficult to find at night). Felt very safe. Good breakfast, nothing special. The staff helped make any reservations I needed and recommended places to go/eat. I'd definitely stay again if I were in Bucharest.

A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan, unicorn skulls and voracious librarians, John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story and post-modern manifesto all rolled into one rip-roaring novel, Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following. Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy. The result is a wildly inventive fantasy and a meditation on the many uses of the mind.

Comments about Hard-Boiled Wonderland:
By far Murakami'realms best novel, this novel Murakami's get you so engaged that you cant think of anything else, you are forced through an imaginative portal to Murakami's Realm. Best novel out of Japan since 'the devotion of suspect X'. Mind distorting, highly imaginative,creepy and kinky
"His fantasies, with their easy reference to western pulp fiction and music, retain a beauty of the mind" Guardian "A remarkable writer...he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head" -- Jay McInerney "Combines a witty sci-fi pastiche and a dream-like Utopian fantasy in two separate narratives which alternate in an interweave of precognition and deja vu" -- Richard Lloyd Parry Independent "Here is abundant imagination at play" Sunday Times "Murakami's bold willingness to go straight-over-the-top has always been a signal indication of his genius...a powerful melange of disillusioned radicalism, keen intelligence, wicked sarcasm and a general allegiance to the surreal. If Murakami is the "voice of a generation," as he is often proclaimed in Japan, then it is the generation of Thomas Pynchon and Don De Lillo" Washington Post

The 38 Studios fiasco seems to be getting a happy ending after all. Epic Games, after publicly hiring laid off employees from the bankrupt company, has announced the opening of Impossible Studios.
Based in Maryland, the new studio will be mostly made up of former employees from Big Huge Games. 38 Studios acquired the now defunct studio in 2009 for help developing their line of fantasy games. They released Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning earlier this year to mostly positive reviews and above average sales for a new IP. Despite this, 38 reported insufficient funds to make one of their loan payments and as well as payroll for their employees. This was followed by massive layoffs and the company's eventual closing.
Now under a new roof, this talented team is reunited to do what they do best, making great games. Even the name Impossible Studios is attributed to the feasibility behind forming a team like this. Epic Games President Dr. Michael Capps explains.
"We were so glad we could help keep this great team together, and we're lucky to have them. At the time, I said that finding a full team of superstars was 'impossible' and apparently the name stuck! Pairing the imagination and experience of Impossible with Epic's technology, IP and resources makes for a business greater than the sum of its parts."
The first project in development by Impossible will be the iOS action RPG Infinity Blade: Dungeons. Having this team work on Epic's most profitable franchise just shows how much trust is being given. Considering their past work on fantasy themed games, I have high hopes for Impossible's fresh start and their immediate future going forward.
As for 38 Studios, assets from the bankrupt company have been officially turned over to the state of Rhode Island and the Bank of New York Mellon Trust. These assets include the IPs for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning as well as the MMORPG that was in development titled Copernicus. The state hopes to sell off these assets in order to pay back as much of the remaining loan amount as possible.

FedEx Puts Nissan EV On the Road
The Nissan e-NV200, a 100 percent electric compact cargo vehicle, will hit the road in the North America to make deliveries for FedEx. The announcement was made earlier this week at the Washington Auto Show. The EV addition to FedExâs delivery fleet is part of the companyâs EarthSmart program, a global sustainability drive to make its operations more environmentally-friendly world over. Nissan is also committed to making its operations more sustainable and socially responsible through its Blue Citizenship package whose main focus is to increase the number of no-emissions vehicles by exploring additional vehicle segments where its leading electric vehicle technology may be applied. The companies that carried out similar e-NV200 tests with fleets in Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Brazil.Â
Washington D.C. is the first area where FedEx will put the e-NV200 on the road. Thereâ,â it will undergo field tests that will see it performing the routine requirements of a delivery vehicle for approximately six weeks. The results of the trial will help the companies determine its suitability for the task and to fine-tune it to mass production, set to begin in late 2014 in Europe.
FedEx Express currently has 167 electric vehicles and 365 hybrid electric vehicles in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, China and Brazil. The company plans to increase these numbers to 222 and 393 units, respectively, by the end of the fiscal year (May 2014). â âSince it started adding EVs to its fleet in 2005, âFedEx âsaved between then and 2012 nearly 2.4 million liters of fuel.
The e-NV200 will the second EV Nissan markets globally, following the success of the LEAF. The 100 percent electric matches its gas-powered equivalent in all criteria, including functionality and roominess. It features the same lithium-ion battery composed of 48 compact modules mated with a high-response, 80kW AC synchronous motor that generates 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. Charging is fast, too, and it takes less than 30 minutes to fill its battery up to 80 percent of its total capacity when it is equipped with a quick charge port and using a fast charger.
General Electric is another major company committed to deploying EVs as part of its sustainability strategy. Back in 2011 it announced it would purchase 25,000 electric vehicles (EVs) by 2015 for its own fleet and global fleet customers.

I'd like to nominate "The Picture (or Portrait) of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde.
Spellbound before his own portrait, Dorian Gray utters a fateful wish. In exchange for eternal youth he gives his soul, to be corrupted by the malign influence of his mentor, the aesthete and hedonist Lord Henry Wotton. The novel was met with moral outrage by contemporary critics who, dazzled perhaps by Wilde's brilliant style, may have confused the author with his creation, Lord Henry, to whom even Dorian protests, 'You cut life to pieces with your epigrams.'. Encouraged by Lord Henry to substitute pleasure for goodness and art for reality, Dorian tries to watch impassively as he brings misery and death to those who love him. But the picture is watching him, and, made hideous by the marks of sin, it confronts Dorian with the reflection of his fall from grace, the silent bearer of what is in effect a devastating moral judgement.

Padme, I would go as far as making a tutorial, but people would not appreciate it. Just like they never really appreciate anything that looks good, ya know. And the majority of people use Poser as their program in which they render from, the tutorial that I would write has nothing to do with Poser. So, unless I had like 100 people asking me who use 3DSmax/Vray, then it would hardly be worth it. What I would suggest though, is sending me a message asking for help, and I would be more than happy to help you, or anyone for that matter. Peace.

Ask a Neurologist. Get Answers to Your Neurology Questions.
Welcome to Just Answer. I am an Adult Neurologist and was contacted to answer your question.
certainly from your description, a tension headache would be the most common
Could it be a brain tumor, yes, but very rare in comparison. by at least 1:10,000
brain tumors classically give you headaches that are worse as you lay down,, worse as you awaken from sleep
tension headaches can last for months
they are called CDH
chronic daily headache
but you should look for other causes
like sinus inflammation
do you have any sinus drainage?
is the pain worse when you tilt forward
tension headaches are stress related commonly
or from stimulants like caffeine
if you have blood pressure changes?
well there you go
that is the most common reason
so what are you taking?
ok, well not to worry ok?
try to lower your stress level
well you need to focus on relaxation therapy
using biofeedback techniques, to desensitize
find a psychologist to work with you, using CBT
no, no brain tumor, really
no visual loss nothing else
I would try to focus on behavioral treatment and see if you can cure this problem
there are medications like Pamelor (nortriptyline)
for constant daily headaches of this type
ask your doctor about a trial with pamelor if this doesn't go away
great. good luck to you
Dr Frank T
focus on stress reduction and you will get good results ok?
most tumors that cause headache are rapidly expanding
so you should have other deficits
I hope I was able to answer your questions
please remember to rate my service if you can
