Mian usman in his article "the role of educated women in Pakistan's development" accepts women capabilities at work places in Pakistan and indicates women as a key to development. He says "In my opinion women are far more better than us in time management, they are task oriented, better and multi tasking and far better in communication skills if they have a solid educational back ground. They manage kids, manage the house, look after her husbands parents and at times whole family, she manages the routine house hold, she is very good at budgeting and savings, very good administrator, very good at handling stress and pressure, good in convincing through logic and above all very patient. So why waste such a tremendous talent?". But question arises here is that if women's capabilities utilized at outdoors than who will take her place in her home? On the other hand, in home someone also required to fulfill all those duties with full attention. Most of women keep mates in their homes for domestic work but I think mates could not pay a role of true wife, mother and home manager. In various homes too much disturbances created due to this system. Family disturbance leads to so many problems in overall society which definitely injures developmental processes. I am not against working women but I am thinking about wide spread social problem that exists in our society due to working ladies which not only disturbed homes but also badly affect our new generation and also affects a lot psychological and physical health of women.
Farrah K Raja highlights proudly in her article "Revolution in the Islamic world by women, "We, the women, are constantly in the struggle to keep our homes intact, keeping our husbands happy, while at the same time maintaining a commitment to our jobs, in all this midst we are committed at bringing up our children in line with the core Islamic values which we hold so dear to our hearts. Its a mystical juggling machine which our gender group have so expertly managed over many hundred years and will continue to do so in the future without fail.". No doubt women are intelligent, talented and brave enough even to jump in a war also but now with the passage of time we should look towards another angle also. When the mother going out for work she have to left her baby in home under care of mate which definitely could not be trustful at all costs. So many sexual harassment cases occur by mates with babies and in various times some of the children get afraid of such evil acts and never ever share with parents or others in life and such accidents abolish their whole life by affecting their mental health a lot. In some homes women have good in-laws and mother in law took responsibility of her "grand children. But in various homes grand mothers refuse to take such responsibility or may be have not good health to tackle with new little babies. There are also baby day care centers but may be not in every city of Pakistan and also not always of good and devotee quality and children upraised there often unhealthy, weak and become dull minded with the passage of time because mates in baby day care center could not give anything other than meal, feeder, changing pamper in time, keeping warm. Mate definitely has not mother love and attention that any baby required at that age for his all sorts of development.
I remembered when I was a college going girl, there was a one teacher who was teaching us mathematics. Mostly she was too much sad and has sorrows on her face. She was always counting beads in her hand and always requests us to pray for me. She came in college just few minutes before period time which was 11:00 o'clock and went away immediately after end of her periods before full time of college i.e. at 12:30. Even she can't teach us well and we were taking tuition of that subject whereas she was gold medalist in MSc mathematics. The reason behind all this was her unhappy, unsatisfactory family life. She had two daughters who were so young her grand mother does not accept their responsibility and left her son's home. My teacher left her two daughters sleeping alone in home knock them in one room and come to college that's why she came very late and went away earlier. During that time directorate of colleges pass rule strictly that all lecturers should enter college at 8:00 am and leave college at 2:00 pm. From that time our lecturer becomes too much tensed and she mostly brings her daughters in college and they were roaming in the college in the hands of girls in ground. But there was rule of college too that lecturers cannot bring babies in college. So we students mostly hide her babies in the ground corners and in empty class rooms. Her husband demand was just leave job and stay at home for daughters….. He was also unhappy and angry from her wife……..so our teacher was always too much tensed for her job…….. If one look at this whole story what comes in mind? If that lecturer leave job then all sort of family disturbances could ends. On the other hand if husband cooperate then she could continue job, but how should he help? Would he leave job and stay at home? Or would he call his mother to take care of his daughters? If his mother replied that "my son I am tired I upraised you all to upraise your Children yourself" then? If she keep any mate? Then if any accident likes sexual harassment occur then? And there was no baby day care center at that time. So what was the best solution? Only that lecturer should left job??? That lecturer always says that I have MSc degree in mathematics not to stay in home……… then who will take care of those two innocents? This is not the one and only case I heard and saw lot of such cases.
In foreign countries babies' cherishment considered a lot for overall development. I have my one relative in Austria she was masters in chemistry from one of the University of Viana. Before marriage she was doing job in some pharmaceutical company but after marriage she took leave from the job according to rules or may be norm of that country. She borne two babies when they were become old enough to handle themselves she again go to join her job. Her sons were of 12 and 10 at that time when she apply to continue again. Her company says her that your babies are too small up till yet if they become ill you will took leave again and may be sometimes you need leave for them more than a week and we can't bear this. Then her father says that I will take her sons to doctor when they were ill. The company asks for legal notice of the statement of her father so he legally approved his statement then submit to the company then she will allowed to join the company again. But again company says her to join one year course to refresh your knowledge. From this we can took two results one that foreign countries look towards all faces they understand that if the children will not upraised with full attention then it definitely affects our developmental process. Also they look towards the employer that how much he will be satisfied from home to pay full attention on job to make the company and alternatively country developed. In our society this phenomenon is totally absent no one take care of different dimensions of development at social level.
In our society now working ladies have severe family problems even most of women got separation from their husbands for their jobs and careers. Children are also affected and disturbed psychologically due to working mothers and disturbed family system. I have taught primary class and below then primary level in various private schools. During my this teaching career I observed that children have educated mothers who do not do jobs were excellent in studies and in other extra curriculum activities , too much bold and also more morally developed then those whose mothers were working ladies or whose mothers were uneducated. In the school whenever PTM (parents teachers meeting) held mostly educated house wives visit and able to understand problems of there children and cooperate us to overcome problems of students. Whenever we meet with parents our first question from them that do you sit with your children when they were studying? Answers of various working ladies were "no we have not as much time…." Most of the working ladies blame us (teachers) that it is our responsibility to improve children studies, attitudes and moral values. But I think according to Islam the first school of baby is mothers lap. Also if we look keenly and analyze we can understand that parents have more responsibility for their children then their teachers. Children are with teachers just for maximum 8 hours out of 24 hours of the day. They are with their parents for 16 hours of remaining day. All human beings learn from their life activities and definitely children could have more activities in 16 hours then of 8 hours. Proper upraising of children leads to overall solid development of country I can prove this in the following paragraph based on one of the American theorist Tocqueville.
Tocqueville work on the American democratic regime in early nineteenth century. I read about his work in a book of Steven J. Hood "Political Development and Democratic Theory" written in 2004. In this book Steven J. Hood named family as a Democracy's Nursery. In our country the most and hot issue or problem is of implementation of true democracy. And whenever we need answer to the question that what is democracy, unfortunately its procedural and mechanical aspects explained which include___ elections, political bargaining, and economic policies ________.Now democracy also become limited to abolishment of 18-amendment in our country. Tocqueville established ethical meaning of democracy. According to him democracy could establish through families affairs rather than considering state interventions. In his observations he describes family as a nursery of democratic citizenship. He believed that in American families "…. …. Fathers ultimately made decisions on weighty matters in American families; they were more likely to listen to the counsel of their wives and children…. He credits its women for the central role of teaching mores in the home. Women's fervent believes in religion and their concerns for the children's wellbeing have a profound impact on marriage and the family. They are key agents for shaping mores in the home, though their desires are reinforced by their husbands, who demonstrate faith by practicing these mores in and out of the home."
If we look keenly towards observations and believe of Tocqueville we can understand that how much role of house wives is important for the development. Tocqueville in his work noted that American's do not have peasant mentality, and we can also observe this by our experience with Americans. And he note that this is not due to schools and government but because of parents full and attentive role. Children in America taught to be democratic with their friends while playing, studying in gatherings etc. they learnt from their parents that how to behave calmly with others and take care of rights of others in addition to fulfilling their duties towards others. They have democratic attitude towards win or loss by accepting it with dignity. So when such children become leaders in future then they apply the same mores and values that they learnt in their childhood from parents. From the observations of Tocqueville women have central role in teaching mores so we can say understand that how much house wives have key role in the development of country. As if they give children with democratic minds and attitude to the country then definitely they are participating a lot then working ladies in development. A working lady could not pay as much attention that she could not observe each and every activity of her babies and demonstrate them that how to behave whereas mostly mothers prefer to beat their child on their bad and undemocratic acts and attitudes.
Now let's come towards role of housewives towards husbands. Again I took a paragraph from the book of Steven J. hood about the saying of Tocqueville, "… home is a refuge for the husbands from the world. After the day's duties are over, the head of the house returns home, and there all his pleasures are simple and natural and his joys innocent and quiet, and as the regulatory of life brings him happiness, he easily forms the habit of regulating his opinions as well as his tastes…..". If we go towards history we could come to know that most of famous and successful Kings have excellent home managers, who give him happiness, pleasure and relaxation to think about the state in a very responsible way. To take good decisions for anyone it is necessary to have full mental relaxation from his most nearby relations and for any male wife is the closest relation. Pakistani women could make their males successful by supporting them at home by giving innocent pleasures, by making their minds free of domestic tensions. Such males not only become beneficial for their family but also could contribute towards development of country by paying full attentions towards his service. So again we are able to lay down statement that house wives have root role in the development.
If we look towards sayings of Islam it also explains the role of women just as Tocqueville. I have go through an article by Amin Ahsan Islahi "the concept of equality between men and women". I found this article too much realistic. He narrated beautifully the role of men and women in the society and takes them both as too much important. He says; "….Allah has created both man and woman from the same matter. Just like man is an integral part of this system so is a woman and both have been created by Allah for their own specific purposes. Both have a right to be respected and honoured. Just like he possesses certain talents, so does a woman and as she possesses certain emotions, trends and natural inclinations, so does a man…..So a man and a woman should, according to their natural inclinations and aptitudes, move in their respective orbits like sun and the moon in order to carry out the divine will….". In this paragraph he tells that women role as a house wife and men a s bread earner is set by nature. It is not made by society or cultures and one could not move opposite to nature. Whenever we talk over this topic and highlighted that women are best as house wives then various communities labeled people like me too much conservative. But actually we can't turn our face from the natural facts and phenomena. To have successful and peaceful life it is important to realize the natural process because Allah has made people in his way and if we try to follow another way then it certainly do not easy, relax and painless. Let's observe if we have baby girl and a baby boy, we bring them in a toy shop and make them independent to select their toys. Certainly we will notice that a girl will go towards dolls, kitchen sets, home sets etc and a boy will move towards gun, car, aero plane and tough games. No one bound children to select their toys actually it is by nature. In the same article I go through various verses and Ahhadees who supports Tocqueville theory,
"Men are the maintainers of women, with what Allah have made some of them to excel others and with what they spend out of their wealth. So the good women are obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded.
A narration of Holy Prophet (sws) regarding the leadership of women narrated by Hazrat Abu Bakra (ra) is as follows.
A nation that hands over its leadership to a woman cannot prosper.
Or he foregoes in whose hand is the marriage tie. And it is nearer to dutifulness that you forgo. And don't forget that one excels the other."
I have found a forum in which all members were discussing on a topic just similar like this the topic was" working women or house wives?" most of members comment in favor of requirement of house wife is more than working women I show in the following text box the conversation of some of the member of that forum.
In this text B refers to boy and G to girl. By reading the conversation of these forum members we could understand that housewife means not a human being without any job on land. Dealing with home, children, husband, and handling their requirements in time, looking after elders at home and also taking care of all family matters and other occasions is a tough job. In the above conversation accept comment from G1 all other all in favors of house wives. We can say that as there is an urgent need of engineers, doctors, graduates in various subjects, best human resources with best skills for the socio-economic development we also need now best well qualified mothers, house wives, family managers who could make the social setup relax and could develop bright future by nurturing there Children in best democratic codes.
By the above all discussion again importance of housewives role cleared for the development of the country. And most of our women know this and understand at best. But despite this women are in search of good jobs why? Why a woman needs to do job? Various women are doing job to overcome there financial needs. But in my life experience with various middle class ladies I understand that the problem is not only poverty. When I was a school teacher one of my colleague bring her three little babies in school both in extreme hot and cold seasons. She has no one at home to take care of her children. She hired a 12 years old girl to look after her children in the school. That girl was herself a child and can not understand how too manage babies. Mostly those babies fall from stairs and become injured. While observing various accidents happened with her babies one of our staff members suggests her that colleague to stay home with your children until they grown up. She replies" my husband is an army officer and he earns as much that we do not need more for our needs. I am doing job because household duties are totally unpaid and unrewarded." I observed various such cases around me where women only work for her status and reward. Mostly house wives argue that there is no respect of house wives. House wives always considered as burden and never ever husbands and other family members become happy from them. Even house wives are doing such a job which includes no leave, no holiday no break time and no Sunday. House wives have to stand by all the time. There is no exact time of her duty times. She has to perform duty whenever any house member needs. In 1999 an article published "Are housewives undervalued?" the back round of this article was the 24-hour strike of homemakers to show that how much there job is important. In this strike housewives left kitchens for 24 hours in search of status, respect and reward.
Unfortunately in our society no importance given to house wives in history, magazines and even in TV programmes. Always those women were praised who did job out of home to earn and do something extra ordinary. Let's take an example of programme 51% of geo TV… never ever they include housewives as special one also, whereas there job is at most linked with development. Therefore this attitude of media also turns women mind. All the people whenever do good they wish to listen there praise but who praised housewives? Who accept there job as an important wheel of development? Is there any prize in our country for house wives? Ever government gives any prize of performance to housewives? No…then definitely women will start leaving house job and trying taking positions in offices etc…
On the other hand housewives have no respect at home also. We have in our society very conservative and negative minds. I think that by reading the observations of Tocqueville most of males of our community will immediately use the words like……. yes women work is only to stay at home and do household duties within four walls __ office work is not in the range of women capabilities, there work only to handle homes…. Mostly these words of males degrade women too much and stir them up to go out of homes to do tough jobs and show males that we can do this. If males consider thoughtfully four highlighted words in the Tocqueville first paragraph i.e. [counsel, credit, central role, key agents] then they could understand that why their wives go out of homes to work. In our society husbands at various levels do not need to listen to her wives counsel, as according to them they are sharp and brilliant and everything they do not need his wives counseling. Male at most degrade their house wives in home. Mostly husbands feel insulting in listening to wives. Husbands do not even like to praise their wives they do not give them any credit even in words. Husbands do not realize the wives role as a central role of his home. They do not understand them as a key agent of their home peace and good upraise of his children. Mostly husbands when arrive home after office hours and ask for meal , if the meal is not exactly according to the desire of husband he use words like" I am doing job from morning till evening for you and you are cooking just pulses and vegetables for me". This happened mostly in low class or middle class homes. If housewife spend more money then she can manage meat daily for her husband otherwise it is difficult. Housewives have to spend in a way that she could save some money also for difficult time or for her daughters and sons marriage. Mostly women do jobs also to overcome their expenditures but it is fact that if women perform her household's tasks herself all the day in her eyes then there are less expenditures. And as much she earn she can save in her home by utilizing and managing all resources properly. But this can possible only by good and cooperative coordination of husbands. There should be nothing hidden between husband and wife in household matters. Couple should discuss and understand each other all matters. This could not only relax the housewife to perform her duty but also aware the husband of all household matters and he can then decide better for his home and children.
Housewives are urgent need of current time of terrorism, peace less and corrupt environment. They could prepare a democratic generation for the country according to our religion Islam. Expensive schooling could create qualified generation but could not create morally developed generations. Husbands should cooperate and credits their wives for their jobs at home. Husbands should understand that washing clothes, preparing meal, dealing with babies all these tasks make housewife tired also, if husband is earning full day for home then housewife is also not free her job is also tiring and important she also need rest, courage and reward. Reward not means money, it could be in words, loving emotions and praising words. Women education should be preferred for qualified home makers. Relax family setup could establish relax social setup. Government should support housewives for there jobs. There should be prizes at official level for housewives who give well qualified morally developed generations. Media should highlight housewives' job as an important tool for development.

Unbelievable as it may sound, I finally made it to San Sebastian in once piece and with all my stuff. I had initially planned to stay here for less than a day then move on to Madrid. But since I was running out of time, and I didn't think 1.5 days in Madrid would be enough to do anything worthwhile, I just decided to chill out in San Sebastian instead. I had a good time, but did not do any major activities or visits. So expect this post to be short.
It was sweltering outside. I had my backpack and daypack on me, one on each side, walking the streets looking for a hostel. I walked into a penśion that turned out to be full. But they are happy to refer me to another neighboring pension. This next one is also full, and finally refers me to a spot with a vacant bed. And this is how I am initially acquainted with the friendliness that runs in San Sebastian, the first of many such experiences. As soon as I get my room, I take off my clothes, put on my swimsuit, run to the beach, then jump in the fresh water! What a great relief! Then, I just hang out on the beach for a while until it's time to eat. At which point I head to a seafood restaurant, my plan being to gorge myself with as much seafood as I can! Over the next 2 days, I will eat every meal in a seafood restaurant, and will have fish, shellfish, fish soup, calamari, and fish cake (I'm kidding about the last one). The calamari was prepared in "ink" (a thick black sauce); and since almost everyone spoke only Spanish or Basque I was never able to figure out what the was. Real octopus ink? I can't think of any seasoning or food that is pure black.
Even though very few people spoke a language I understood, I was still able to meet and befriend many locals, a testament to this friendly city. I spent an evening with a fisherman on the port that was hoping to catch a big prize (unsuccessfully). With very basic expressions, he was able to convey to me his discontent with how "things are turning out" in the fishing industry: pollution, over-fishing, monopoly of big corporations, etc. He also referred to how many of these issues never exited in the "good old days" . Cliche indeed, but true nonetheless*. I also had a long chat with the pension owner about people's avoidance of the unknown or the uncertain (e.g. The need to plan a trip in detail). During the day, I was also approached by a stranger asking if I needed help after noticing me walking the same street three times. I was offered a free coffee when I had no cash on me and the coffee shop did not accept credit cards. I was given a public transit pass by a stranger having noticed I was struggling to buy one (my credit card was refused). I had a fun evening with a waitress who spoke only Spanish as we tried to communicate in different ways, sometimes with funny outcomes. And more… All these random encounters make solo traveling such a special experience!
* Talking about the old man, not his complaints. I'd rather not venture into political territory.
The next day, after a good night's sleep (the first in a few days), I start my day at the aquarium. Hitting the beach before 3-4pm on such a hot day is lethal; you may die of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and skin cancer all at the same time. The aquarium was lots of fun, especially the part where you get to see a shark up close and personal. I'm adding diving with sharks to my bucket list for some other trip. In the afternoon, I sat down in a park overlooking the beach and the horizon to write**. At dinner, I meet two artists, a Dutch and a Quebecois, traveling across Europe combining pleasure and work to make the best of it. I spend the rest of this pleasant night with them.
** This stuff doesn't just appear from thin air on the net, there's hard work and sweat that goes into it!
This quickly sums up my stay in San Sebastian. It was not very eventful, but the people I met made it very worthwhile. The next, and final stop, is Seville. I can't believe I am approaching the end. This whole month flew by so quickly. Even though I am looking forward to heading back to Lebanon and getting some downtime, I want to keep on vagabonding! Anyway, let's keep these reflections until after my trip. I'll have more than enough time to dwell on the "what if's".
Hasta Luego!

Swedish Uranium Cut Crystal Decanter Set 1930's
Made from leadless crystal in war neutral, Depression era Sweden. Signed Eda 33 on each base. Made by the Eda Glasbruk company in 1933.
These decanters are authentic "vaseline glass" (a modern nick-name for Uranium glass) in a brownish yellow color. Lead was scarce due to World War and glassmakers replaced it with Uranium. These decanters are a fine solid crystal, but made with Uranium instead of lead. VERY rare to see this color of Uranium glass. The Uranium in the glass is not harmful to your health in everyday use. Owners of this glass should not grind or melt it.
Beautiful and important art glass made in the year of the Eda Glasbruk glasshouse demise. Financial troubles from the Great Depression, and Nazi influences in Sweden, forced it closure in 1933. After the war, Evard Stromberg and his wife Gerda re-organized as "Strombergshyttan" and worked with Kosta Glasbruk.
Both are entirely hand-made with cut panels and stoppers. Heavy crystal, weigh 3 lbs each. In excellent condition with normal base-wear. Pontil mark is polished to an inverted half moon. Sharp corners were beveled. Rims are heat finished.
One is slightly smaller than the other. The difference in size can be attributed to the hand-making process, but more likely it was done so the owner could easily see which was which. Since the 1930's, Sweden was (and still is) way ahead of the rest of the world in modernism and functionalism. Swedish products are always designed with quality, innovation and usefulness in mind.
Large decanter measures 11″ tall with stopper on. Smaller measures 10.5″ tall. Both are 4.25″ wide and 3″ deep, rectangular shape (easy grip). The stoppers are not interchangeable between bottles. Each is specifically sized for it's own bottle.

MINDCAST.09 // MASTER MARGHERITA – Live Recording For Mindcast 01/2014
The new podcast in our series comes from the great MASTER MARGHERITA, recorded live at a secret club in Barcelona on 08. December, 2013.
Moreno Antognini is an accomplished musician and producer based in Switzerland. A founding member of the renowned organic band "The Peaking Goddess Collective", the electronic project "HoeHLE" and one of the managers of "Peak Records".
He is known and appreciated worldwide for his bass playing, production skills, compiling taste, live performances and dj sets. Bathed in music for as long as he can remember, Master Margherita has been active in the European music scene since the late eighties, playing bass guitar in various rock'n'roll, jazz, funk, reggae and salsa bands.
In 1994, he started composing tracks mixing live instruments with an array of electronic devices. This experimentation brought him deeper into the world of electronica and ambient soundscapes. Since then, his talent has been appreciated in many styles from French text songs, to experimental techno, ethnic grooves and reggae.
Moreno has also produced music for theater plays, documentaries, fiction movies and multimedia performances, as well has performed in major festivals around the globe like Boom, Glade, Popkomm, Montreux Jazz Festival, Universo Parallelo and many more.
He has released numerous chill and ambient tracks on well-known labels such as Peak Records, Interchill Records, Ministry of Sound, Mindwaves Music, Waveform and Mikelabella Records.
Master Margherita has also released a number of collaborative works with artists such as Ajja, Cell, Greg Hunter, Cosmosis, Hibernation, Electrypnose, Flooting Grooves, Samuel Hall Band, Stéphan Blok, Léon Francioli and Palyrria.

From BG FFXI Wiki
An "Aftermath" is a buff caused by using the correct Weapon Skills while wearing a Relic, Mythic, or Empyrean Weapon. Each category of weapon has a different aftermath structure, and the specific Aftermath can vary from weapon to weapon:
No form of TP Bonus influences Aftermath duration or effect.
Overwriting Aftermath
Relic aftermath automatically overwrites itself no matter the tp stage of use.
Mythic, Empyrean, and Aeonic Aftermaths on the other hand have three Tiers:
- Level 1 - Can and will overwrite itself.
- Level 2 - Can overwrite Level 1, but not itself.
- Level 3 - Can overwrite Level 1 or Level 2, but not itself
In addition to duration and potency, these tiers determine which Aftermath can overwrite the current one.

Social Responsibility became essential for the Corporate environment as much as marketing did. CSR has to be carefully managed and all the campaigns that a company wants to be part of or wants to endorse, have to be well developed. As well as the communication and promotion campaigns that follows. Carefully and well adapted, strategically "tweeted" and with a good and targeted blogging activity developed, a cause of the society has to become a cause of everyone's Facebook friends.
CSR is not just publicity in exchange of helping others it has to be trustful, honest and well orientated in accordance with company values, goals and latest history.
CSR offers now visibility for their company's consumers, for volunteers and for its own employees. By establishing private – public partnerships between NGO's, Government and companies in order to achieve project's goals, CSR can ensure strong relations between the involved partners.
Being responsible in front of our community has become a field of action for entrepreneurs and now, more than ever, it needs specialized assistance and consulting.
We are here for our clients' project whenever they decide to start a CSR project.

PUMP MIX Wireless

– 90 Day Trial
– 2 Year Warranty
– 5 Year PUMPreplace Guarantee
– Immediate Shipping
Additional Information
|0.7 kg
Orange, Black
I supported Pump Audio via their Kickstarter Campaign for MIX wireless earphones.First of all, I was sceptical about that, as the whole campaign and advertisement seems too good to be true but I gave it a shot as I had really nothing to lose with their *90 days Trial for all the backers*. Boy, they shipped them really fast and guess what, the box is even bigger I have expected and it's awesome. The box itself is awesome, high quality, I mean, This is what would you expect for the price, no ripoff. High quality cardboard, printing, damn, you can even use the box to store your stuff in there, it's so fancy and practical. After opening the box, I found the earphones, so shiny. I put them out and they qre soooo lightweight, foam tips, sweet. HARD Storage box , TINY, yet big. High quality manuals, no ordinary paper, those manuals are the same quality as those expensive magazines. Alright let's get to the earphones. Yumm perfect fit in ears, you can chose between three sizes of silivone tips and three sizes of foam tips. Okay lets turn them on, sweet the even come with a light indicator on the control unit. Let's pair them, flawless. Let's turn up some NCS music, I am melting, these earphones are exactly I want my music to sound in my ears.Everything about these earphones is true. Really!I am giving these earphones to my sister as I travel a lot by car and she will use them more frequently. There are only two things I cannot comment on yet, durability and battery life.The only thing I would change is to include custom designed USB cable instead of generic one *****
Just got mine yesterday. Great packaging, love the vibrant but not cheapy orange color. I've no problem with Bluetooth connection, initial pairing is also easy. Battery life is good. ..and the BASS, oh I'm IN LOVE with the bass! Many say that wireless won't be as good as wired but I'm leaving my AT Solid Bass, even my Sony 90EX. This is definitely my FIRST choice for my ears.Well done team!
Just received my Pump MIX earphones two weeks ago, the sound is the best ever with bass is just a right balance. I would recommend the Pump MIX earphones to my family and friends. The sound on the mix wireless is simply amazing also when connected to the mobile phone. But one slight thing can be improved is that the cable is little bit short for collar size 19"!!! If that can be added by 2-3 inches will be brilliant. Or you have sizes such as a Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large so that buyer can select which size will be the proper fit their neckline...
The sound on the mix wireless is simply amazing. At first I was skeptical about how it will sound as people alway says that wireless earbuds will never be as "good" as wired earbuds, but pump audio has proven that point wrong! The first time I heard it I was shock by how good it sounds, there separation on the different notes and the bass is superb. After burning in the mix wireless, Guess what? It sounds even better. Bass is tight and has a nice rumble to it. Highs are crystal clear. Best earpiece I have ever own. FYI ( I have tested earbuds such as audio Technica solid bass aka Ath cks 99 and even their dual balance armature im02 and I still prefer the mix wireless!)
Battery technology is great! last forever. I listen to all the different styles of music out there and the sound is outstanding on ALL- thick bass and screaming treble!!

Are there no plugins to put mp3 flash player in a sidebar/widget !?
Seriously folks. i've spent literally the better part of an 8 hour day trying to find out, figure out, etc, how to get either:
a) links i have embedded into an image map in an html image i've placed in the sidebar, to stream mp3 audio (but not be downloadable)
b) find a plugin for a flash mp3 audio player that will function *in the sidebar/widget*
c) find any available free mp3 flash audio player that I can put into the sidebar that will pull mp3 tracks from my audio folder
d) any possible combination of the above
In summary, I have found no way to do this. Seriously, developers, you build a plugin for a flash player that works *in the sidebar* (not in the post) and you've got the only one on the market, you've literally cornered a whole segment!!!! GO GO GO!!!
(or if anyone knows of something i've missed or how to solve this problem please educate me. I am most grateful as I'm working under a deadline and I'm pretty much out of steam on how to solve this issue. thank you again, from the bottom of my dark heart)

- Amanda said...
OK, I'm feeling a bit like Amelia Bedelia...
Question? Do i mix the pudding according to it's package then add the pineapple... or do i just mix the 'powder' in with the pineapple??
It's sad that i need someone to explain this VERY simple recipe to me...but i'm confused. Lets just blame it on my lack of sleep... yes, blame it on the cute baby.

I would say prepare the pudding according to the box, then add pineapple. That is what I would do.

The question here is, WWE 2K17 release for PS3 & Xbox 360? The answer to this isn't that obvious or clear but you can expect the games to continue operating until Sony's life cycle for 10 years for their consoles end. The support of Xbox 360 and PS3 ends in the year 2016. So there's a certain doubt among fans whether 2K would release WWE 2K17 for PS3 and Xbox 360 or not.
The other question for WWE 2K17 is, will there be a huge difference in the quality and features in the WWE 2K17 installment for new and old consoles. Some fans assume that there would be no WWE 2K17 for Xbox 360 & PS3, but these are just assumptions and it's certainly likely that at least till the year 2017, they might be releasing games for both consoles. The interest might have shifted more towards Xbox One and PS4 but there's no stopping of the older versions.
The thing about next generation consoles is that it will have 1080P and though PS3 and 360 lags behind this, but that can't be a reason for the makers of WWE games to not release the WWE 2K17 variant for PS3 and 360.
Friends share your views with us in the comments below and stay connected for more updates.

Physicians Must Respect Life
Simon Quentin Lapius nibbled tentatively on the endive. "I know of no dressing that quite conquers the bitterness of endive," he said. "Anyway Harry, with respect to your question so vulgarly stated, 'Where's it at with medicine?' Am I supposed to answer that between mouthfuls of salad? It's rather broad you know. But I think it starts with a reverence for life. Lord C.P. Snow returned to that theme recently. I quote:
'I believe that we have to act as if each individual life was significant.'
"You remember of course that driving force in the life of Schweitzer was 'reverence for life.' All the turmoil of his feelings during the war and at the start of his self imposed exile were finally crystallized in the phrase 'reverence for life', without which no physician can function."
I remember reading about Snow's statements at a recent dedication of the new 188 bed wing of St. Barnabas Hospital for Chronic Diseases in New York.
"Snow expanded on this theme. He said that:
'In many conditions, most of all in those when one is face to face with mortality, there is no substitute for one good doctor.'
"Snow went on to say that a doctor with empathy can do more for a patient than anything medicine can do. Of course there are those who would argue with this. But there is no substitute for empathy, sympathy, a small degree of identification with the feeling of one patient. Snow felt this couldn't be taught, and I would agree. But Snow felt that a literary thread should be introduced to the medical education."
"How do you feel about that, Dr. Lapius?" He finished his morsel of salad and poked at a drop of oil that slithered down his chin. This gave him time to think.
"I don't quite agree. I think that qualities such as empathy and feeling for fellow man cannot be taught, but somehow result from personal experience, which include personal loss, the pain of aging, disease, anxiety. In other words, experience. Show me a doctor who has been a patient and I will show you a kind and friendly doctor who will be concerned with his patient as a person."
"You think that is most important?"
"No." Lapius had become distracted by a slightly overdone chopped sirloin, and was appraising it carefully before tasting it.
"What do you mean no? After the long speech about empathy."
"No! First he has got to know what the heck he is doing. He must be a trained doctor. There is no substitute for that. We can't turn incompetent nurse-maids loose on the public. But if after a doctor has achieved his competence, if he develops some motherly instincts, all the better. He must rage to protect the health, dignity, and comfort of his patients, but must also be able to inflict painful procedures if necessary. He must achieve a sense of balance so that the risks he imposes on his patients balance the risk of no treatment at all. It's judgment my boy. C.P. Snow had to live a lifetime to come to his value judgments. Each of us in areas of serious responsibility must reach maturity by the same painful process. It can be indicated as a goal, but it can't be taught. Pass the rolls please." He chewed for a moment, then suddenly blurted out an angry stream of indecipherable syllables each surrounded by specks of food.
"What was that you said?" I asked. "I didn't catch all of it."
He dabbed at his chin carefully, then swallowed the bolus of food. "I said, Harry, that Snow would like to introduce mere art into the medical curriculum, but there's scarcely enough time for the science, to say nothing of literature, music, philosophy and the like. And now there's talk of doing away with the premedical college years, and shortening the medical curriculum. Phooey."
"That wasn't what you said, when you talking with your mouth full. Come on, Simon. Out with it."
"I said the last thing we need in medicine is a Snow job." He looked sheepish, because he hated to be caught in a bad pun.

Pretty In BlueThe Painted Cat
This little cat is Cora, a British Blue kitten. She's sitting under a Japanese pagoda in the garden and the sunlight is falling through the leaves of the plant next to her. I loved the colours, the blues, greys and violets in her fur and in the slate all around her and the warm yellows and golds in the pot and in her fabulous eyes.
The warm lights of home are glowing in the trees just ahead of him, calling him home to a warm fire and a cosy bed.

First U.S. EPR steel forging ready for fabrication
News brief
July 06, 2007
Bethesda, Md., July 3, 2007 - AREVA Inc. announced today that the first quality-approved forging for the steam generator tube sheet for its U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) arrived at AREVA's fabrication facility in Chalon, France. The forging was completed and shipped from Japan. This forging will be used to manufacture one of the four steam generators of the first U.S.EPR.
"Early progress on heavy forgings is an important step in keeping the first U.S. EPR on schedule," said Tom Christohper, CEO of AREVA NP Inc. "AREVA has the material in hand to support certainty of online generation in 2015".
Three additional shipments are enroute to Chalon. Detailed schedules for forging, fabrication and shipping these massive components have been established early for each of the critical forgings required to construct the first U.S. EPR advanced design nuclear power plant.
The first steel poured for the AREVA heavy forgings was announced in December 2006. Similar forgings have already been used for Olkiluoto Unit 3 in Finland, and will be used for Flamanville Unit 3 in France.
As the leading U.S. nuclear vendor and a key player in the electricity transmission and distribution sector, AREVA's 5,000 American energy employees are committed to serve the nation and pave the way for the future of the electricity market.

this is an excellent and approachable textbook, or maybe i just love the subject matter. not the teen part - i am pretty regularly irritated by the teenagers i come into contact with on a daily basis, but this book makes me want to be less annoyed; it presents situations that are ideal and rewarding and makes me want to be a better person and be the best librarian ever instead of, "that bitch that scowls at the teenagers sprawled on the floor bending back the covers of books with their loud voic ...more

I especially appreciated "open-ended ways to end a readers' advisory conversation" (p. 28) and "conversation starters to use while browsing the shelves" (p. 49). As someone who struggles with both small talk and gracefully getting off the phone, some memorized openers and closers are beneficial!

Shelves: prof-development
This book is an incredible resource and one I hope to get my hands on for my own bookshelf. Booth walks you through all the differences between adult and teen reader's advisory. She gives recommended questions to ask and methods of approach. I like that she doesn't get too into specific titles, because that technique dates these kinds of books so quickly. She instead sticks to broad examples and themes, even remembering to include how a teen specialist can help other librarians in the library wo ...more

Shelves: adult-non-fic, 2013-reads, professional-lit
This is a handy reference book. I imagine it might be more useful or helpful if you are new to working with teens, as a lot of the ground covered is about how to approach teens specifically. The references are also quite useful, as many of the articles and things she cites are relatively easy to find. It was a bit of slog for me to get finished, even though it's a slim volume. Though I'm thinking that was partly because of the academic tone and partly that I'm very familiar with the subject matt ...more
Oct 31, 2007 Lauren marked it as to-read
Recommends it for: anyone who works with or routinely interacts with young adults
This book covers the how, what, where, and why's of readers' advisory for teens by explaining how to adapt readers' advisory for adults to this demographic. Booth walks readers step-by-step through the process of conducting a readers' advisory interview. She also includes tips on readers' advisory for homework assignments as well as ways to find books for readers when they've already read award winners or when they're just looking for something different to read that's the right fit for them.

Shelves: non-fiction, professional-reading
This book is one of the best RA books I have read. Booth presents lots of real-world strategies, how-tos, what-ifs, and patron situations/interactions that librarians can and have used and experienced in their practice. I marked-up and doggie-eared so many pages that I now keep it next to my desk for quick reference. The resources Booth provides are also great. This is a definite must-have for new and old librarians ~enjoy!
Jul 28, 2011 Sarah rated it it was amazing
Shelves: librarianed, nonfiction
An interesting and extremely comprehensive look at RA for teens. My favorite parts where the suggestions about approaching teens in the library, the sure bets and favorite author lists, and the overall tone of respect for teen reading interests. Very useful, very well written, and I can't wait to implement some of these suggestions!
Nov 07, 2007 Lori rated it really liked it
Shelves: library
This is a great resource. To actually implement all the ideas you would have to be able to dedicate a serious amount of time and energy but its still very useful for the general reference person who keeps getting asked for advice by teens!

The Beauty of Ordinary Things(2013)
A novel by Harriet Scott Chessman
Back from a tour of duty in Vietnam, Benny Finn strives to find his bearings amid the everyday life of 1973 New England. At a Benedictine Abbey in rural New Hampshire, Sister Clare, a young novice, confronts the day-to-day realities of a cloistered existence. Linking the stories of Benny and Sister Clare is Isabel Howell, a college student soon to discover that she must chart the course of her own life in a way she could not have imagined. Deeply felt and often luminously moving, this powerful story reveals a writer richly aware of the range of human tragedy and tenderness.

Abm Spinach Bread
Top Review by Chef1MOM-Connie
I made this recipe exactly yet obviously I did something wrong. It came out looking like some monster baby all lumpy. It tasted great, REALLY, but looked ugly. I am going to make it again and not walk away from bread maker to see what happens. Stars forthcoming after I remake this .edited to add: made this bread again and although it tasted good, it still gave me trouble as far as looking good. The dough was difficult to work with. I rarely bake in my ABM, choosing to bake in the oven. I will try this again in the ABM fully as I do like the taste of the bread just not the texture of the working dough or the finished product. However, as taste goes it is good and I like that I can have my bread and healthiness too.

Groopdealz is a daily deal site that specializes in handmade boutiques. Every day new deals are posted that run for 24-48 hours. Items ordered are shipped directly from the seller and arrive within a few days. Groopdealz aggregates boutique deals from hundreds of shops and designers, making certain its visitors find beautiful pieces at affordable prices.
Groopdealz Llc is the parent company of Groopdealz.com. Groopdealz Llc is also known as Groopville, Inc. This company was founded in 2010 and they officially started their business in 2011.This company was founded by Harrison M Mitchell who is currently the President/CEO of the company. When this company was founded, it was privately held.
Their main office is in Utah. They do not have store or shop. Only online shopping is possible here in United States & Canada. Groopdealz, Inc had $1.6 Million in estimated annual revenue and has a business of selling miscellaneous merchandising products.
Groopdealz, Inc maintains a user friendly website that provides necessary all information that customers may look for. Moreover they have provided detail contact information so that customers can easily reach to them. Here each deal is specified with price, various color & size of the product that is available, when they can ship it to customer etc. which makes it easy for the customers to make the best choice from them. Some positive snippets of customers feedbacks are given below:
"I love GroopDealz! They have some fantastic things. I haven't been disappointed in anything there. I did get burned on one thing when they first started as it never arrived. It was an inexpensive item and after I tried to contact the seller several times I reported it to GroopDealz and they took care of it. They have since revamped the site and that has never happened again. It is a great site! " - Diana
In a blog Sarah B. has reviewed that,
"So, I came across this site GroopDealz.com a short time ago and I can't stop ordering from them! I first didn't want to look twice because I honestly don't really dig companies with their names intentionally spelled wrong. BUT I am glad I looked because I am hooked! This is a boutique deal site but doesn't feel annoying like a lot of other deal sites. I think it is because it's all fresh/new stuff and only one or two new deals per day which is nice. I get overwhelmed with sites that have 20+ new deals per day to sort through. The site is just fun, simple and has some really good deals on some one of a kind things!"
Here are some consumer feedbacks in a personal blog of Kristina,
"I've had a good experience with the folks at GroopDealz overall. My prints didn't sell like I had hoped, but I know that the exposure from being listed on the site really helped bring more people to my Etsy shop so that is a bonus! Holly @ GroopDealz has been super sweet. I would work with them again – just probably choose a single print that can be customized. I think since they chose the set of three prints that were at a higher price-point – that discouraged some folks from buying them – I think folks mostly want to purchase items that are like 70% off, but I couldn't do that and make a profit. :) Overall though, like I said, I had a good experience. :) Hope that helps! Best of luck to you! Hugs! "
Though Groopdealz has many positive feedbacks from customers, it has some negative feedback too.
Groopdealz, Inc i.e. Groopville, Inc is not BBB Accredited. Though it has started Business in 2011 and BBB file is opened in 2012, it did not get BBB accreditation.

Is there any way to use your current boss as a reference, even though you're not crazy about her knowing that you're looking for a new job? According to Diane Burns, a career management coach based in Baltimore, says probably not. In fact, if you're looking for some recommendation from your supervisor, it's best to wait until you are almost certain the new job is yours.
Tech woes
The unemployment rate for IT graduates is more than 16 percent, compared with an overall unemployment rate around 9 percent, found a report published by the Higher Education Careers Services Unit. One possible explanation is that the rate of technological change is so fast that graduates might find their knowledge obsolete after three years in school. IT grads also tend to be less experienced when they graduate, and may be pickier about the jobs they accept, noted an author of the report.
