Do not attempt this unless you are in very good health see the disclaimer
Do not attempt this unless you are in very good health see the disclaimerPosture is the place to start with breathing. Stand up straight (or, if sitting, stand from the waist up). Don't be stiff or rigid - but do be upright, not sagging with the shoulders or chest. Be aware of the axis in the shoulders. If you let them fall, do they collapse downward to the front, restricting the lung space? That should tell you something about your posture. While letting you arms hang freely, turn your palms forward and lightly bring your arms back. You should feel an expansion in the chest/lung area.
Now take a nice, natural, big, deep breath, and exhale again. Do this a few times. Note the word "natural". Again, we brass players can tend to loose sight of the most natural things. Breathe as though you were lightly winded after a short, easy sprint, or as if you just opened the window and are tanking up on good, fresh air.
Don't let your chest collapse downward as you exhale. Stay tall as you blow. This point is important, and will make the next inhalation easier, more natural, as the next breath doesn't have to help re-inflate the collapsed position.
And, a final posture point: I believe that posture often shows how you feel about the current task, or even about yourself. Are you crouched and squinting into the music stand? Stand tall and confidently - even if you have to fake it at first! I think you will find that feelings follow actions in this sense. Or, to put it another way, "Confident is as confident does." Sometimes we have to act the part before we feel we own it.
Yoga views a person's posture as a physical manifestation of one's inner state. One's view of the world and one's mental, emotional and spiritual state reflects in one's general deportment, including how one postures oneself. Deficiency in posture often begins in childhood with lack of awareness which becomes habitual and self-sustaining. This pattern becomes further reinforced and perpetuated by the stress in our lives and chronic neuromuscular tension. Yoga can change this.
Conscious static stretching, (the various original postures of classical yoga, about 20 in number) is the first step. This is how you begin to penetrate and disintegrate the old status quo, that is, the chronic patterns of neuromuscular tension which have been sustaining less than optimal posture. Important to note: yoga poses should always be adapted to the specific individual doing them; in classical yoga, stretching is always done gently, in a natural manner biomechanically, and with a feeling of relaxation. If it hurts or makes you sore afterwards, or if it feels wrong, it means something is wrong. "Not strong, not complicated" is the adage in classical yoga.
To increase your benefit it's important to understand that the stretch is just the beginning of a process which needs to be completed. The stretch creates a magic moment: by releasing tension, the stretch makes the neuromuscular system receptive to positive change. You want to take full advantage of this. Right after your major stretches i.e. several times each class, you simply recline on your back and, with eyes closed, you completely "let go". You drop off into a sort of "half-sleep, half-awake" state where the relaxation feels so good you just don't want to move. It's known as "deep alpha" in biofeedback, referring to slowed brain-wave activity occurring during deep meditative states. This is the secret. Yoga stretching combined with such deep relaxation enables a natural re-organization of the tension holding patterns within the neuromuscular system, one benefit being better posture. This is the key which awakens yoga's legendary benefit to the fullest.
Purists within the yoga community will go so far as to say that yoga poses done without such deep relaxation is not yoga! These magic moments occur several times each class. You emerge from such an experience feeling lighter, better, focused, energized. And this benefit can trickle into every area of your life, all day long, reflecting in part as how you posture yourself. This is why it is said that yoga affects your whole life.
Complete yoga breathing, done during the class as well as habitually during the day is a way of carrying yoga with you. It stabilizes your focus, part of which is maintaining awareness of how you posture yourself. Hence the saying: "Good breathing means good posture." Breathing well throughout the day, plus sitting tall, standing tall and walking tall all become positive habits in your life.

Distinguished by its bold blue crown with iconic Volt color in the Compression Channel, the Nike Vapor Fly Driver has three key technologies that add up to fast ball speed, high trajectory and less spin: Flightweight Crown, HyperFlight Face and Compression Channel.
- Flightweight Crown features a 30 percent reduction in crown weight versus last year's model, resulting in a lower center of gravity and higher MOI for higher launch, less spin and more forgiveness.
- New HyperFlight face is thinned out around the perimeter to produce extreme ball speed across the entire face for better performance on off-center hits.
- Re-engineered Compression Channel enables a springboard effect to amplify performance on mis-hits.
- FlyBeam Reinforced Covert Cavity Back dramatically stiffens the chassis while redistributing weight to the heel and toe for maximum impact efficiency, tuned acoustics and forgiveness.
- FlexLoft 2.0 technology gives the golf athlete the functionality of five lofts at three face angles for a total of 15 different settings and optimal flight, more distance as well as enhanced workability.

Hampton Motors is a Brunanter luxury car company founded in 1921. Making a very low volume of cars (under 8,000 per year), they are one of the world's most exclusive brands. It was one of the sponsors for the 2011 AFC Tournament.
Hampton was founded in 1921 as the Hampton Motor Car Company by James E. Hampton. Working in his garage at Hampton Court Manor, Carringtonwith his assistant, Emil, he dedicated much of his life to hand-building the finest vehicles to custom order. These Series One models would be the backbone of the company for many years. In 1926, he expanded the company and hired 16 new workers and started the first mass-produced model, the Hampton Royal. Priced at a modest $3,000, Hampton was able to make 65 cars per year. In 1929, with another expansion, Hampton began building the President model range. These sedans were available in several coachbuilt bodies, and 20 were being made yearly at $5,000. 1933 saw the introduction of the Imperial limousines, built 100% to custom order. The customer was able to choose any body style they wanted, the length, the engine and the interior's design. Priced at over $8,000 in 1933, this model is still being made today, but only 28 have been built since then. In 1933, Hampton also introduced the Monaco-Montecarlo showcar. In 1936, Hampton introduced the Montecarlo models. Built especially to custom orders, 15 of these cars were made, ranging in styles form full chauffeured limousine to race cars. Due to their uniqueness and exclusivity, these models are worth around $1,000,000 today. In 1968, Hampton introduced the Royal Corinthian, a coachbuilt convertible sedan. Only 8 of these $20,000 beauties were made, and are near-impossible to acquire nowadays. In 1971 Hampton was taken over by Vanguard Group.
Current modelsEdit
The Hampton Royal is the most commonly available model. It comes in a four-door sedan bodystyle or as a 2-door sedan (pictured). The Royal is the best-selling Hampton model, with 4,270 cars being built and sold in 2010. The Royal is the best seller since it combines practicality with luxury refinement. It carries a very modern design, but doesn't stand out too much.
The Hampton President is the full-size sedan in Hampton's lineup. Once popular with businesspeople, it is now bought by all types of people. The President evokes the finest level of luxury possible, and is made to achieve the maximum customer satisfaction. The President is also available as a long-wheelbase model.
The Hampton Montecarlo is Hampton's 2-door sports-luxury coupe. The Montecarlo tradition dates back to 1936, but the current model is unique. It offers all the luxury of a 4-door Hampton with the agility, power and speed of a sports car. The standard engine is a 300 HP V8, though there are other engines to choose from as well.
The Hampton Imperial is the top of the line model and only full-size limousines . They are built 100% to custom order. The customer is able to choose any body style and design wanted, the length, the engine and the interior's design. First built in 1933, this model is still being made today, but only 28 have been built since then. A symbol of exclusivity, the Imperial is priced to order, and limited to one car per customer.
Historical modelsEdit
Dream coupesEdit
In 1959 Hampton introduced the first of its three dream coupes- the Corinthian. Based on a 1957 concept, this car had a low stance reminiscent of American cars. It continued production until 1962 after 352 cars were made. The second coupe was the Anatolian of 1961. Only 300 models were made of the Anatolian, one of which was owned by model Jeanette Hardy. The last Anatolian was made in 1963; the final model was a golden car which is now owned by the Sultan of Brunei. The Virginian which followed was slightly more different than the other coupes. This car was designed and built more liek a sports car, with only two seats and a rakish stance. It was given a 245hp V6 and managed to reach a respectable 128mph.

The world's oldest Chinatown is located at the center of Manila –Binondo. Established in the 16th century by Spanish officials, it became home to a number of Chinese tradesmen and has since become Manila's oldest bastion of mercantilism. Horse-drawn carriages or kalesas run side by side luxury vehicles in its narrow, winding streets; while hole-in-the-wall eateries and fruit stalls are set beside jewelry stores and financial institutions– demonstrating the bustling economy and affluent community residing in this cultural, historic city.
Its rich heritage, dynamic industry and high demand for space has made Binondo a prime real estate location, and fast-growing property developer Anchor Land Holdings has directly contributed to its stature by building high-end residences in the area. Recognizing the demand for these as early as 2004, Anchor Land established a foothold in Binondo, sparking the process of rebirth that established it as the premium enclave it deserves to be.
"The biggest real estate players at the time were focusing on the Makati Central Business District area, and residential developments in Chinatown were more on low-rise and mid-rise apartments owned by individual or small-scale companies," said Anchor Land Holdings CEO Steve Li.
At the time, many Filipino-Chinese business owners were combining their residence with their place of business or warehouse. Similarly, there were a number of immigrants from Mainland China who were seeking business opportunities in the country, and preferred to stay in Chinatown to avoid the language barrier. "As the businesses of this market thrived, the demand for high quality housing and luxury condos also grew, and we saw the need to bring the Makati-style of luxury living to residents of Chinatown,"added Li.
Having seen the opportunity, the company introduced its first project – the 33-storey residential development Lee Tower. Aside from offering residents the advantage of living near their businesses, it also provided unique and luxurious amenities and facilities, which were previously considered rarities in the residential building landscape of Binondo. "Chinatown residents had to move from home to experience the comforts of a luxurious lifestyle, for instance, they had to travel to a recreational facility or to a gym. But with the Lee Tower, which was complete with amenities, it already provided them with convenience and exclusivity," said Li. "This also helped transform the lifestyle of these Chinese businessmen as they began to separate work from home, allowing them to live with true comfort and luxury."
Anchor Land improved the lifestyle of Binondo's residents in a way that cannot be matched by any other institution in the area. Soon after, not only were buyers admiring the amenities and lifestyle that the projects offered, they were also drawn to Anchor Land's stellar reputation. Customers recognized the value of the Anchor Land brand and what it represented, and did not hesitate to entrust the company to build their future home.
Since the Lee Tower, Anchor Land has continued to strengthen its mark in Chinatown with several developments that continuously contribute to the transformation of Binondo. Among these are Mandarin Square and Wharton Parksuites, which have well-designed facades that have become landmarks in the area as it changed the skyline of Chinatown. Also, these are modern, high-rise luxury condos in strategic locations offering clubhouse amenities and units tailor-fit for Filipino-Chinese families.
"The units we offer are adjusted based on the discriminating tastes of the Filipino-Chinese community. For instance, they are very conscious about the utilization of space and prefer units with rectangular partitions. More importantly, they are very family-oriented and prefer spacious units that would allow two generations to live together," said Li.
Binondo promises more growth as the market continues to expand. "We still see a very strong demand in Binondo area. 60 percent of Anchor Land's clientele are from the Filipino-Chinese community, and we expect the demand to grow stronger as more Chinese from the Mainland come to the Philippines to put up and manage their own businesses. As a company deeply rooted in Binondo, we will definitely continue to invest and strengthen Anchor Land's presence in the area and take part in the ever-evolving real estate landscape of Chinatown," said Li.
Anchor Land has several ongoing projects in the area, including its flagship project Anchor Skysuites. Standing at 56-storeys, it will be the highest residential structure in all Chinatowns around the world. Other projects that are under construction are Princeview Parksuites and Oxford Parksuites, a learning-focused development located along the Chinese school belt in Binondo.

When you thought about it, while mopping the dripping sweat off your brow, it was kind of absurd. What was August doing here in April?
New York had not suddenly become Havana (it was only 86 there). The bizarre weather was just visiting, of course, delivering a delicious burst of heat that reached 92 degrees, a sizzling summer day when we had barely been introduced to spring.
This meant mass discombobulation. Hence people spent Wednesday behaving in ways they wouldn't normally behave on an April 7.
They made statements.
They did things that screamed: Forget winter, forget spring, hello summer!
They made statements like wearing short-sleeve, or no-sleeve, shirts. Or no shirts. They wore shorts. Wore capris. Wore summery colors: pink, lime, lemon. Wore linen. Wore straw hats. Wore flip-flops. Wore skimpy sundresses, recklessly exposing pathetically white legs accustomed to April concealment.
The young children in one Brooklyn household awoke and insisted on wearing bathing suits to school (under their clothes, per Mom). Ease up. They were making a statement.Continue reading the main story
Jessica Wakeman, 25, a freelance writer, made her statement with her first iced coffee of the year. At home, she had her standard dosage of hot coffee. "It was too hot," she said. So she went out, got an iced coffee and headed for the park.
Many people emerging from winter sloth were reminded that they were 5 pounds beyond bathing suit trim (fine, 10) and that it was time to diet already.
And then you could go the other way.
Carleen Brathwaite, 36, a nurse, was on lunch break in Brooklyn Heights when she made her statement. "I'm having a bad day, so I decided to get ice cream," she said, her first of 2010. She settled on Häagen Dazs, rum raisin dipped in chocolate, two scoops.
"I'm feeling pretty good right now," she said, licking the cone. "But it seems to be melting."
The brashest statement of all was to simply skip work.
Eddy Menuau, 53, went that route. He is a carpenter, lives in the East Village. On Wednesday, he had a job repairing a leak-stained ceiling in an apartment. Big deal. Let it wait.
He called the client, reported that the weather was too spectacular, he was going to Central Park.
"I don't lie to clients," he said.
He rode his bike to the Sheep Meadow, getting two flat tires along the way, stripped down to a preposterously brief bathing suit, exposing the tattoo of his deceased pit bull, Red, imprinted on his chest — and rejoiced.
Surrounding him were bikini-clad women, men tossing Frisbees, a woman doing a needlepoint of, yes, a seascape, boats bobbing in the water.
"If you live in Florida, you ignore a day like today, because every day is like today," Mr. Menuau said. "In New York you don't have a lot of days like this. On a warm, sunny day, I could be broke and I'd be a happy man."
A friend in Brooklyn called. He said come over tonight, he was going to have a barbecue, get a fillet of beef, maybe some salmon, too.
Mr. Menuau's back itched. He scratched it with a sneaker.
"You know, it's a shame I didn't bring a kite," he said. "There's just the right amount of breeze."
People took their meals in the open air. They ate outside at Europan across from Lincoln Center. And down the block at Bar Boulud. And next door at Sushi a-go-go.
Outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower on Broadway and 60th Street, Greenpeace staff members tried to interest passers-by. One showed photos of polar bears. Interest was tepid.
The police, in large part, confronted crime in short sleeves, making their own statement.
Officer Marty Tercynski, who works out of the Midtown North Precinct, was dressed that way, for the second day in a row. "We're allowed to wear short sleeves when the temperature goes over a certain degree," Officer Tercynski said. "I think it's 75."
Did he have his summer shirts all clean and ready to go?
"Oh yeah," he said. "But I'll probably only get today out of this one."
The city's beaches do not officially open until Memorial Day, when the lifeguards climb onto their towers, but so what. At Coney Island, the parking lots were jammed and the boardwalk congested.
Caroline, who withheld her last name because she was supposed to be working rather than basking at the beach, ventured in the water up to her shoulders. She came out. She said it was very cold. And, she said, "It feels wonderful."
Some New Yorkers made statements disclosing their deficiencies.
In the early afternoon, the sun beating on the sidewalks, Cam Kornman, an actress, was strolling up Broadway, near Columbus Circle, carrying shopping bags. She was wearing a dark ski jacket. It had a fur-lined hood. She had the hood on.
What gives?
"I didn't get my sun hat out yet," she said. "I have a big sun hat that I wear in the summer."
Had she heard the weather forecast?
"I probably did," she said. "I'm just not that organized."
It was a good day to sell sunglasses. It was a bad day to sell scarves.
That is what the vendor at Court and Remsen Streets in Brooklyn sold. His stand was stacked with cotton scarves. At midday, he was fast asleep.
Tourists visiting the city could be sympathized with for thinking they had somehow mistakenly alighted in Miami (84) or Santo Domingo (90).
The Gross family was in town for four days from outside Cleveland (79). It was a brief vacation for Tim, 57, who is in building maintenance; his wife, Betty, 49; and their daughter, Ashley, 17. Ashley, heading off to college soon, also wanted to inspect New York University.
They had just finished a bus tour and were wandering around Times Square.
"I would have been expecting 50 degrees this time of year," Mr. Gross said, but he was not complaining.
Ms. Gross did think it was actually too hot.
What did they attribute the weird weather to?
"Maybe the earthquake in Mexico," Mr. Gross said.
"The end of the world perhaps," Ms. Gross said.
Did they have the sense that they were in Miami?
"No, I'd say Mexico," she said.
"Yeah, Acapulco," he said.
So how were they enjoying Acapulco?
"It's nice," he said. "A little hot. But very nice."Continue reading the main story

The Kindergarten program at Hudson Montessori continues the Montessori Method of education our children follow in their Toddler and Primary programs. At the same time, this is also the grade where we start introducing our philosophy of complementing traditional Montessori education with modern research-based curriculum.
The typical day in the Kindergarten program starts with our children attending the mixed age Primary class in the morning. Montessori materials and concepts are learned and reinforced in this class of 3 to 5 year olds. In the afternoon, after lunch, the kindergartners meet in a designated classroom to focus on Math, Science and Language Arts. The afternoon two-hour sessions, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, are dedicated to small group instruction, whole class instruction and individual lessons in one of the three subject areas every day. This juxtaposition of Montessori and traditional curriculums best prepares our children for their continuing education in the elementary program.
In Language Arts, the children continue building their phonics and literacy skills with Montessori materials. Additionally, Kindergartners sequentially review their literacy skills with the Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) program. The CKLA curriculum extends and supports our Montessori morning work cycles. Embedded within Montessori's cultural and scientific curricula are studies of Geography, History, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Art and Music that are extensions of language development, allowing our children to learn about many other cultures and historical contexts and develop their consciousness as global citizens.
In Math, our kindergartners are provided the opportunity to work with Montessori Materials while extending their exploration of the subject using Singapore Math. This curriculum teaches mathematical concepts in a three-step process: concrete, pictorial and abstract. The Singapore Math program nicely builds upon the concrete foundation that all our students have developed using the Montessori materials. Singapore Math also has a systemic focus on Word Problems, so students learn when to add or subtract based on the situation. We also apply differentiated instruction and use ability grouping in our math program. This approach compliments, enhances and expands our children's mathematical approach and understanding.
In Science, the children continue their hands-on exploration of the Sciences. The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) approach uses hands-on, real word learning experiences to convey the Core Curriculum in Science and combining Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. Children are born with a desire to explore. Our goal is to nurture their curiosity and engage them in science. We strive to encourage them to combine technical knowledge and skills to develop creativity, critical thinking and problem solving skills. Students learn how to design, set up and carry out simple science experiments, explore technology and engineering solutions and apply math concepts to solve real world problems.
In Art, Kindergartners explore various artists and art forms. The children learn about a different artist or theme each month. Some of the artists include Kandinsky, Haring, Matisse, Picasso, Miro, Nikki se St Phalle, Dali and Van Gogh. For each artist the children explore the artist's life (bio, stories, anecdotes), how the artist express his/her artwork (ways of expression, definition of art, vocabulary and specific technics) and the children create their own works of art inspired by the featured artist.
In Music, Kindergarten children will be introduced to the Keyboard in small group classes. This class is designed to teach children where the notes are, how to properly use our fingers to play these notes, how to effectively practice, and how to play songs. Children are given the opportunity in this class to spend time exploring the instrument on their own. Students also have the opportunity to watch and listen to various piano classics live during the class.
In Library, the mission of the program is to encourage students to become lifelong learners who are excited to read and research. Kindergartens enjoy weekly visits to the school library for stories, educational and entertaining library programming and book exchange. Students will be introduced to a diverse selection of age-appropriate fiction and non-fiction, and engage in meaningful and fun follow-up activities in language arts and across the curriculum, such as storytelling, creative drama and reader's theater. The librarian connects students with resources they need for class projects and books they can't put down in their free time.

When I moved to New Mexico for a job in 2012, I was looking forward to a new adventure. Initially, I was going to be in New Mexico for a year and then transfer back to Vegas. I've been here 5 years now, and I keep finding an excuse to move. That's what I do, I'm a nomad - I pass through. I've heard people call New Mexico the land of entrapment. That makes me giggle. The official State Nickname is the "Land of Enchantment." When I first started working and living in New Mexico, I noticed people being nice here - especially if they were born and raised in New Mexico. I was telling a coworker from Chama, NM that people in New Mexico are so nice. He said to me, "It's because we are poor." That comment always struck me. Was that true? or is it because New Mexicans are so sparsely populated? New Mexico is a large state that can swallow its population whole. I feel like people here have had to really count on each other to survive. They seem more humble somehow. Am I right about my assumptions? Who knows. I'm sure there are probably 1000 more reasons why. And I thought.. if there are nice people here, then the crime rate would be lower. It's pretty high actually. That part I haven't figured out.
Another coworker, Linda, who made fun of me when I first started working with her. She's actually my best friend now. Who knew! There was a discussion at work about red and green chiles. I opened up my big mouth and said, "Do you plant red or green chiles Linda?" I didn't realize it was just as bad as making that Jessica Simpson comment about chicken of the sea. Well shoot! There are many varieties of peppers aren't there?! Oh no, red peppers are simply ripened green peppers. I knew that. Not! I read somewhere green peppers are why people move here and red peppers are what makes people stay. I just love roasted green peppers but I love red peppers too. I tend to order the christmas blend which is green and red peppers together. Peppers in New Mexico are a serious deal. The most asked question in New Mexico is - red or green? Another common question I was being asked in the beginning - Las Vegas, New Mexico or Las Vegas, Nevada? I would tell people my family lives in LAS VEGAS. Oh no, it's all about New Mexico. I seriously thought there was only one Las Vegas. Nope, there is a Las Vegas, New Mexico. Actor Patrick Swayze had a ranch outside Las Vegas, "New Mexico".
Here comes the french theme. I went to a lavender festival in Abiquiu, New Mexico. Yes, in New Mexico, not in South of France! Abiquiu, NM is Georgia O'Keeffe country (respectfully after the Native Americans). These natives, like me (in away), were nomadic, and knew good territory. I can see why Georgia fell in love with the area. It's truly enchanting. Seeing the lavender fields in New Mexico was breathtaking to say the least. It felt like going into a far away secret place. Lavender is new to the area. A part of the mediterranean in New Mexico. It just paired well together. My bestie, my spouse, and a lavender field under a hot sun...if New Mexico keeps this up, I might continue to be entrapped by this enchantment! Corny? Sorry.

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and not good with cats.
Uhane, a Savannah Akita dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Akita for sale in Savannah, or seeking a Akita dog from a breeder in Savannah.

Consider Rental Income
You may think you're not cut out to be a landlord, but it's worth considering when you realize the income it can generate. And getting started in the rental business has become easier than ever before. You might consider renting out a room in your house through a site like Air B&B, or rent your old home after you've downsized and perhaps moved into a condo. If you acquire enough properties you can fund a very comfortable retirement.
Buy Dividend Stocks
Investing in dividend stocks is a solid way to generate another stream of income. Though it will take a bit of time and money to generate a good amount of income from these stocks, the good news is you can begin investing with very little money. For as little as $500 you can start investing in a dividend portfolio and keep adding. By the time you retire you will have generated a nice stream of income.

5 Tips to Fend Off
Back to School Fears Angela Ruth Strong
Imagine your child attending their new school as an employee. The first day of school becomes their first day on the job. That's a lot of pressure on both child and loving parent. To ease the pressure and prepare for such an uncertain future by building confidence in the same five areas used in the adult world. Financially: Rather than let a child associate his worth with possessions and then play the blame game, empower him to prioritize and learn the value of a buck by offering a budget. By doing this he can decide if he really wants those flashy sneakers. It just might mean wearing big brother's hand-me-down sweatshirt in exchange. If he complains about the sweatshirt, remind him it was a choice. Shopping can be another opportunity to teach how to create the life he wants to live.
Physically: For school age children, the first day at school is the first day on their job. Everyone should leave well rested and well fed, but it's especially important when there are so many emotions coursing through young bodies. Make a habit of healthy living with vitamins and fluids to keep a child energized enough to have the physical activity he needs. As with anything in life, the greater the challenge, the greater the reward. Make that reward obvious by celebrating the end of a child's first school day on their job. Consider a special evening social to talk about their experiences, starting a weekly journal, or a healthy snack. A well planned first day can settle the nerves and create a smooth transition.
Emotionally: Kids handle fear in different ways. Some will stifle feelings. Some will act out. Others will try and climb the social wall to gain control. You can't change who they are, but you can create a safe environment for them to let down their walls. Asking open ended questions can help expose possible areas of concern. Complimenting in areas where children show positive traits can build self esteem. And empathizing in areas where the not so preferred experiences lie can communicate a parent's willingness to listen. Mentally: Go on a school tour. Map out classes. Meet teachers. Know bus routes, and even play the "what if" game. The more answered questions, the less insecurity. Socially: The older kids become, the bigger their social world increases. As much as adults would like to pick friends for their children, that's not the job. The job is to guide the tricky navigation of youthful relationships. This can be through establishing and/ or supporting hobbies, being a source of information when the waters get rocky, and inviting kids over so you can get to know them. www.idahowomensjournal.com

A Weight Loss Story Judy Batten • Health Coach Judy • www.HealthCoachJudy.tsfl.com
this strategy with her girl friends, instead of support, they showered her with rumors of saw dust tastes, overpriced schemes, and being unhealthy by the time the last zzzip is heard. Susan's confidence in her weight loss choice was dissolving fast, but she was already committed. Her food was on its way. The next day a big brown delivery truck left a box on her doorstep. Susan tore it open like a little kid at Christmas. This stuff better be good. Surprisingly, it was. Even the brownies were simple and great! The plan was easy, the meals convenient to carry in her purse or car, and especially good since she had to eat every two or three hours. In the evening, Susan enjoyed a healthy home cooked meal with her fiance. Her personal coach kept her on target and cheered her on. As the pounds started slipping away, Susan's motivation and energy soared. She could do this! As the 60 days came and went, the wedding dress was no longer in jeopardy and slipped on in comfort. The wedding photos finished the story. There was Susan in her gown, elegant, sleek, radiant, and without buldges. Her apprehensive girlfriends came to wish her well and beg for her weight loss advice. For many women, it may not be a wedding. It can be a reunion, a business launch, a new job, or a vacation. But when choosing a prepackaged meal program for weight loss, keep it mind to look for something temporary and good tasting. Prepackaged meals are intended to be short term, but they should still be healthy. Here are some tips to finding a good prepackaged program. Look for:
Her big day is two months away, and the 1,500 dollar dream wedding dress won't zip! Panic strikes and Susan scans her mind for all the weight loss options she has heard about. She could count points, carbs, or calories. Her head was already overtaken with details. She has meals and cakes to confirm, bridal gifts to finish, decorations to approve, and extended family to manage. She was overwhelmed, and the idea of adding more lines to the checklist was borderline too much. She didn't have time to find the right plan, shop for the right foods, and incorporate a healthier cooking style. The thought was enough to drive her to grab a bag of chips. Susan settled on a prepackaged meal replacements she had been hearing about. When she shared

8 Incredible
Uses for Coconut Oil
Stephanie Mullani Tru Publishing www.TruPublishing.com In tropical regions around the globe, the coconut palm is considered the "Tree of Life". It comes as no surprise when you consider that the plant has provided food, water, shelter, fiber, fuel (and more!) to people for thousands of years. The coconut itself contains nearly all the essential nutrients the human body requires for optimal health. Chances are, you've grown up thinking of coconut mostly as a shredded dessert topping or cream pie filling. Recently however, coconut water has become a favorite drink among runners and health enthusiasts for its high electrolyte content (double that of traditional sports drinks), amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The star component of the coconut that is getting the most attention currently is the oil. The rapid rise in popularity is due to its wide spectrum use as one of the most versatile health products for every member of the household. Take a look at how you can incorporate this multi-purpose oil into your home… 1.

Turn it into a deep oil treatment for extra dry and damaged hair by coating strands and leaving it in for a day at the beach or while you go about your housework for anywhere from a half hour to several hours. Some users even report sleeping with the oil in the hair overnight, with hair wrapped in a towel or shower cap. Not matter how long you leave it in, simply shampoo hair as usual to get it out and voilà – silky smooth tresses are the result. 6. Personal Care Coconut oil possesses amazing anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Research has proven it to have a greater effectiveness as a treatment for candida (yeast infections) than many products available in stores for this issue. It has also been used as a treatment for diaper rash. Finally, it makes a great chemical-free personal lubricant.

Mary E. Pritchard, PhD • www.embodyheartandmind.com Battling weight can find a woman grasping at Weight Watchers, starving herself, trying over-the-counter diet pills, drinking down Slimfast, going to the gym, and repeating this cycle again and again. Seeing a 20 pound loss can be celebrated, but frustration will strike when that plus more is gained back. 85 percent of people who diet will gain it all back, and usually with an additional 10-20 pounds. Don't rationalize, familiarize. Not all is lost, but familiarize yourself with the signs. When airplane seats are more difficult to slide into, that is a sign. When the favorite clothing stores become off limits or common sports can't be played, or even slipping in and out of the car requires alterations in movement, these are all signs that effective weight loss is jeopardized. Instead of going back to the sacred cow of burgers and fries, and self deprecating thoughts, there are powerful alternatives. In contrary to punishing ourselves, studies show that true and effective weight loss is closely related to eating, sleeping, and enjoying life, and here is why:
Sept/Oct 2013
Low calorie diets decrease metabolism by up to 45 percent, preventing weight loss. Studies prove a lack of sleep can actually cause weight gain. Eating more often, like every 3-4 hours, literally stokes metabolism and encourages weight loss. Dining on foods like apples, pears, and raspberries that are high in fiber, keeps you feeling full longer. Whole grains like quinoa, oats, and rye stabilizes your blood sugar and help reduce body fat. Vegetables like celery, peppers, and squash are low in calories and fat but provide bulk and that full feeling. Taking a 5-minute time out can attack the stress hormone, cortisol, that encourages fat retention around the tummy. Taking hold of those eating behaviors still requires a decision to be made, and to take the first step now, consider this two-day meal plan to get started:
5 Things You Can Do Today to Speed Up Your Weight Loss Efforts
DAY 1: Breakfast: Mix up a green smoothie in a blender with water. Include lots of veggies you like, protein powder, and 1-2 servings of fresh fruit. Apples can cheer up the flavor of a green drink. Mid-morning meal: Carrots and celery sticks dipped in hummus. Lunch: Big salad loaded with lots of veggies and legumes; use balsamic vinaigrette as dressing. Mid-afternoon snack: Apple with peanut butter. Dinner: Lentils or chicken breast and rice with lots of veggies. Dessert: Raw 'ice cream' made with bananas and carob powder. Check a local food store.
DAY 2: Breakfast: Egg white spinach omelet with low fat cheese like mozzarella, provolone, or cottage cheese. Mid-morning snack: Raspberry green smoothie: 1c raspberries, 1c greens and protein powder. Lunch: Leftover lentils (or chicken) with rice and veggies. Pile it in a stack or keep it separate. Mid-Afternoon Snack: Baked veggie chips and salsa. Dinner: Broiled fish (white or cold water) and big salad. Dessert: Date and nut delight: 1c pitted dates, 1c nuts of your choice and blend in food processor. Mold them into balls or bars and store in fridge. If you're a chocolate lover, add a half cup of cocoa nibs when you blend everything together.iwj Mary Pritchard PhD is a diet expert in the fields of psychology and hormone management. She is a Psychology professor at Boise State and has been conducting research on dieting behaviors for more than 15 years. Her work has been published in over 50 journals and she writes for Psychology Today and the Huffington Post.

Jahanara Dancer
Innovative, Quirky, Unique - and it works! Amy Urian On a beautiful Idaho summer morning, in the comforts of her home, Jahanara Dancer (say it slow Ja-ha-na-ra) shares her innovative, maybe quirky, very unique business views. Jahanara has made a career out of an expressive dance she calls tribal-loric, a cross between tribal and folk styles of Oriental Dance. The generic name of this dance style is Belly Dancing. Jahanara Dancer's peregrination into Belly Dancing started with her first class in 1988 while attending college in Moscow. The education catalog listed a class for Belly Dancing. Jahanara had a contingent of friends that were international students at the time and particularly her friend from Jordan wanted to attend the class as well. Dancer found it odd that this was a dance class that encompassed her friend's area of the world yet she was unfamiliar with it. So together they went to the Pullman Community Education class and embraced the artistic expression of Belly Dancing. This circle of life would bring belly dancing in and out of her sphere before it would take hold as a way to make an income. In 1997 a rollerblade accident resulted in a traumatic brain injury, Dancer was on rollerblades without a helmet when she got into a tangle with a bike. A brain scan gave her only a 10% chance of living. Through, miracles, prayers, and three brain surgeries Jahanara Dancer pulled through and went into rehabilitation. It was in rehab where this fleeting method of dance took hold. Jahanara's therapy wasn't going well, and her cantankerous attitude toward "movement without a purpose" made physical therapy laborious. While therapy was meant to build her core, without true purpose, Dancer resisted. One day, the therapist asked Dancer, "What do you want to do?" Dancer's reply, "Let me teach you belly dancing." That single gesture took Dancer from firm to fluid in more ways than one. The body movements and still postures helped strengthen her core muscles. Arm movements done with candles forced her to focus using hand/eye coordination that catching a ball helps with. Later, the occupational therapy returned Dancer to teaching English in the school system. However that would be short lived. "There is a stigma that society tends to place on people with a brain injury" says Dancer. That realization opened a new path.
July/Aug 2013
Dancer made the decision to study the art of Belly Dancing. Belly Dancing is not the harem of scantily clad submissive concubines depicted in movies. On the contrary, in her voice has a strength and confidence of an empowered woman, ans she describes many belly dancers as the strongest women she knows.
"Jahanara means "world adorning," a homage to her interest in different cultures, and her desire to leave the world a more beautiful place spritually and physically."
Jahanara has studied under Nejwah and Sedona, two longtime Treasure Valley Oriental Dance teachers. It is under Sedona's tutelage that Jahanara was encouraged to start her path of mentoring people in the ancient art of Oriental Dance.
When asked, "Do you work?" The answer of course is, "Yes! I am a full-time Stay-at-Home-Mom." The concept that a paycheck determines your work status is an annoying concept for Jahanara who is able to build her business around her home schedule. But make not mistake, Dancer has found a way to move this unique business. Rather than some traditional marketing focuses, she concentrates her schedule in the Western Treasure Valley area at a studio in Nampa and through the Meridian Parks and Recreation programs. Jahanara enjoys physical movement that has a point. She describes traditional exercises and workouts as competitive and masculine. She has no desire to prove herself to anyone. This dance style drew Dancer in because of the artistic expression and the femininity. Jahanara favors two dance styles. Saiidi (pronounced sighee-dee) and Andalusian. Saiidi is a style from the Upper region in Egypt. It's a playful mimic of martial arts and is performed with canes called taktib. The rhythm is her favorite because it is happy and up-beat with short quick
muscle jabs or steps. Traditional dress is a kaftan with a hip scarf and head wear. This has a minimal costume compared to the Andalusian style of Belly Dance where the skirts are 25 yards of flowing material. The Andalusian style dance comes from Southern Spain near Morocco. Dancer enjoys the femininity of this style, yet it's not masculine and it's not the sex kitten subservience that society is conditioned to believe about Belly Dancing.
Dancer is at her best when she can dance in the moment with a group following cues from a dance leader. "You just learns the root elements and the rhythm takes over" she says. Jahanara means "world adorning," a homage to her interest in different cultures, and her desire to leave the world a more beautiful place spiritually and physically. Belly dancing can help improve a person's body image, especially in women. It helps women to feel beautiful and appreciate their body whatever their shape or age. Idaho is a state where people are creative in their ways of making money. Jahanara is no exception to this trend she has embraced the tide and is flowing with it. She turned her love of world culture into a business that allows amenities others are striving to find in traditional careers. On her website there are lists of health benefits and an open door to ask questions before taking that first step into belly dancing. While the benefits of dancing are numerous, Dancer loves the unity it creates, the empowerment that happens through experience, and the energy released all while calling it business. For Dancer it was for life. iwj

Leaky Dr. Yvonne Fedewa • ELifeBoise.com
Gas. Bloating. Aches and pains after eating. All signs of Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS). Translation: say goodbye to having a life. To add insult to injury LGS has also been known to cause migraines, insomnia, fatigue, joint pain and thyroid diseases. This tricky medical condition can be caused by many things.
The body is made up of trillions of cells. Of these trillion cells, the ones that line the intestines are called epithelial cells. The epithelial cells hang out close together to form a barrier in the intestines from foreign objects, bacteria, toxins, parasites, infection and undigested foods (things that would cause havoc). With LGS these epithelial cells release and are loosely held together causing holes in the intestines. This leads to havoc as undesirables cross the barrier into the gut.
Good to know:
Causes of LGS include:
• Inflammation • Immune System Imbalances • Bacteria Imbalance • Toxins • Stress
July/Aug 2013
Gut Syndrome The cause is the answer. Here are some ways to lose the leaky gut: Spine checks for imbalances that can cause immune system wackiness. T11-12 carry nerves that tell the intestines how to work.
Add probiotics daily to balance bacteria and heal the gut. Probiotic supplements or raw cultured diary work great.
Make a detox cocktail with ½ cup coconut water, ½ lemon, and 2 tbs apple cider vinegar.
Break the bad habit of being a sugaraholic. Sugar is a toxin that causes inflammation.
There are herbs that have been known to help digestion like ginger, peppermint, licorice root, Aloe Vera, and digestive enzymes.
Give yourself a break. Do things to decrease stress like journal, exercise, meditate, read a book, etc. iwj Sept/Oct 2013

Filing Past Year Tax Returns
July 27, 2017
Are you worried about not filing a past year tax return? Stop worrying and take action.
There are many reasons why people do not file tax returns. Some think it isn't necessary because they did not earn any - or much - income during the past year. For others, they filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and did not realize they needed to file separately with the Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR). Whatever the reason, it is never too late to bring your tax filing status current.
For Businesses:
The department has a voluntary disclosure agreement (VDA) program. This program is for businesses who discover they've had tax exposure in Indiana, but haven't filed. For more information or to find out how to participate, visit the VDA program webpage.
For Individuals:
You can go to the Indiana State Prior Year Tax Forms webpage and select the tax form for the year you missed and have yet to file. Complete and return the tax form.
It is possible the department will take action first and mail a notification letter. In that case, respond by providing the information requested. If you believe you were contacted in error, you will be given the opportunity to file an appeal.
If you are uncertain as to whether or not you filed for a certain year, call the department Mon. – Fri., 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. EST:
• Individual Income Tax: (317) 232-2240
• Voluntary Disclosure Agreement Program: (317) 233-6036
Our customer service representatives want to help bring you into compliance and provide you with peace of mind. Remember, if you file a federal return you must also file a state return.

Bank of England Risks Independence and Pound by Not Defending Inflation Target
The Bank of England's monetary policy meeting was as uneventful as humanly possible at a time of Brexit and early general elections. As expected, the bank did nothing. It probably will do nothing for a long time. But this inactivity risks opening the central bank to criticism that it is sacrificing its main objective -- that of keeping inflation low. This, in turn, could make it lose its independence.
A lot of analysts expect the central bank not to raise interest rates at all, come what may, before the U.K.'s actual departure from the European Union, scheduled to take place no later than March 29, 2019, at midnight Brussels time....613 more words left in this article.

Welcome Back Fellow Students
I had a somewhat unceremonious first day back on campus. Seeing as we had a good amount of rainfall hit Kingsville, I was severely disappointed to find out that there was no scent of fresh cut grass looming through the open lawns of Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
As if that wasn't enough to bring me down just a little bit, I was also saddened to find out so many of my friends and colleagues were going through a tough time obtaining their loans, scholarships and grants.
That's a feeling that resonates with me because I certainly know what it feels like to not have enough funds to pay your tuition, rent, or even have enough to buy food or groceries. It's not a whole lot of fun.
I give you both of those analogies just to paint a broader spectrum of down moments you might have this semester. But I think it's equally important to recognize the broad spectrum of good times you're about to have this semester as well. And those awesome moments are truly reliant on if you allow them to happen.
Personally, since it's going to be my last semester here at TAMUK, I'm coming from a reflective prospective.
At the end of my road here, just months before graduating, I can look back and truly appreciate all the times that things didn't go my way. I look fondly on the times where I fell flat on my face.
It's because of those that I can look back and say, "wow, I really don't feel like falling flat on my face again."
So with that I say, welcome back. If you're not having a great time right now, just remember that those bad times won't last.
What will last however is your perseverance and the knowing that you have what it takes to make this the absolute best time you can.
