"Anything that comes and goes is a dream." – Osho
Many of the great philosophers who have ever lived have come to the conclusion that life is a dream.
You say….
"Well wait a minute. When I go to bed and night and I dream, and I wake up there is clear obvious difference between dreaming while asleep and being awake."
And from a logical standpoint, from the perceive reality of physical existence this does seem to be absolutely true. Only on the surface however, but when you allow your being to dive much deeper, to be penetrated by existence a whole lot further then you will start to see the dreamlike state of reality.
Take for example the past and future. Almost everyone looks at future as this kind of fantasy that has yet to come. But then because memory they believe that the past is this real entity.
And there goes the logical standpoint again….
"Surely the past has to exist, or I wouldn't know anything about the world, how spell, how to write, to talk, walk and all other stuff if weren't for past."
But let's take a deeper look in what Osho meant in the above quote
"Anything that comes and goes is a dream."
What he means by such is that you cannot find absolute reality, absolute existence in anything that comes and goes. For example, linear time and by time it refers to past and future. They follow each other in sequence.
There is no present moment in time there is only space where time (past, future) meet and that space is this moment.
Let's dissect the mind though and show how the mind and time correlate.
If you take a look at the picture above that line going side to side represent the mind and time. On the left side of the line it represents past and on the right side of the mind it represents future.
But here is a question for you, where is the cut off between past to future?
The mind can't actually comprehend the answer to this question. The line that is going up and down represents this moment it is the gap between your thoughts, and that gap is the present moment.
The world has conditioned us to believe that what we are is the mind, but when you label what you are as the mind you have limited yourself. Mind equals time, time equals mind and both come and go, and to say you are the mind or you are time is to say that what you are an illusion.
What you are is reality, what you are is existence and reality and existence can only happen in in this moment. So cutting through all the materialism in the world and getting to the root of reality, you are this moment.
The moment however is eternal. Why?
You can only ever directly experience this moment, you can never directly experience past and can never directly experience future. You can only ever directly experience reality which is now.
"Your mind is the knife that cuts the continuum of time into neat slices of linear experience."
― Deepak Chopra
So let's go back take a look at why the past is a dream. Everyone thinks that we only fantasize about the future because on the surface value the past seems alive and well, but past only exists in memory.
And if you are this moment, then you cannot be memory.
So did the past actually happen?
Your mind thinks so…. of course it does!
Your eternal being which is now knows no time, so in reality the past has not happened, and will never happen.
The past relies on future to happen, but again because you cannot directly experience the future it does not exist and won't ever exist. Past and future rely on each other to exist, so in essence once experiencing presence penetrates your being, past and future cancel each other out and vanishes into nothingness.
So in experiencing presence your mind, the 'self' that was created by the mind exist no longer, it has vanished into nothingness. Thinking and experiencing presence are diametrically opposites.
Then how about physical death?
Take a quick glance at eternity.
Does eternity go forward?
Does eternity go backward?
How can they?
The answer to this is neither, eternity, space the infinite phenomena don't rely on backwards and forwards, because we think of eternity in terms of linear time going into the future forever but eternity just as this eternal present moment is not subject to linear digestion which is thought.
To answer the question looking at our physical existence in the scope of eternity, yes and to simply call it a dream is an understatement.
"If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present." ― Ludwig Wittgenstein

Practice Area: Wrongful death
Outcome: $19.2 million dollar verdict for Plaintiff
Description: The wife of an New Jersey Transit employee who died in 2002 of a job-related lung disease was awarded $19.2 million yesterday by a Superior Court jury in New Brunswick. Catherine Fuccilli of Freehold, the widow of Roger Fuccilli, will receive the compensation from New Jersey Transit, Central Railroad of New Jersey and Consolidated Rail Inc., according to William Levinson and Barry R. Eichen of the Edison law firm of EICHEN LEVINSON & CRUTCHLOW LLP. Roger Fuccilli was a railroad car repairman for New Jersey Transit for 18 years. Before that, he was employed by Central Railroad of New Jersey for about 18 months. In the course of his duties, his attorneys said, he engaged in welding, sanding, painting and repairing brakes using asbestos and silica products in addition to breathing metal dust and welding fumes exposing him to materials that caused him to be diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in June 2000. Roger Fuccilli, the father of four grown children including a 23-year-old son who is autistic, died in 2002 of pulmonary fibrosis, which Levinson said has a strangulation effect. During the last two years of his life, Roger Fuccilli had to be put on an oxygen supply and during his last six months he was in the hospital on a respirator, Eichen said. The award followed a five-week trial in the courtroom of Ann McCormick and seven and a half hours of deliberations that started on Tuesday. The jury, the attorneys said, awarded $4.1 million for the pain and suffering Roger Fuccilli endured before he died and another $15.1 million for his wrongful death. The panel found New Jersey Transit responsible for 50 percent of the award, Central Railroad of New Jersey for 7 percent and Roger Fuccilli for 8 percent. The jury found Consolidated Rail Inc. was 35 percent responsible, however, that company settled for an undisclosed amount before the trial, and will compensate Catherine Fuccilli based on that confidential settlement, according to Levinson and Eichen. The attorneys for New Jersey Transit and Central Railroad of New Jersey were not available for comment. Copyright (c) Home News Tribune. All rights reserved.

* Redecard and Petrobras lift Brazil's Bovespa
* Mexico IPC near flat, Chile IPSA falls 0.34 pct
* Brazil Bovespa rises 1.06 pct
By Roberta Vilas Boas and Michael O'Boyle
SAO PAULO/MEXICO CITY, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Brazilian stocks rose on Tuesday to a nine-month high fueled by optimism that state-controlled oil company Petrobras will beat 2011 output expectations and by gains in card payment processor Redecard.
The MSCI Latin American stock index advanced 0.48 percent to its highest in more than six months, supported by Brazil's stock exchange's gains.
The Bovespa has surged 17.5 percent this year, driven by foreign investors who in January poured in an additional 7.2 billion reais ($4.18 billion). The infusion made for the biggest monthly inflow since Brazil adopted the real in July 1994.
"The stock market is holding strong, with a strong inflow of foreign investments coming into Brazil. The news of Redecard's buyout and the stock's jump helped spur the market on," said Jose Goes, an analyst at Rio de Janeiro-based brokerage Stock Asset.
Upbeat economic data from the United States and China, Latin America's top trading partners, could also help Brazil, which is seen further cutting interest rates, a move that would boost growth there.
Brazil's benchmark Bovespa stock index advanced 1.06 percent.
Shares of card payment processor Redecard soared 10.49 percent, buoying the index, after Itau Unibanco , Brazil's largest private-sector lender, unveiled a plan to take the company private.
Shares of rival payment processor Cielo shot up, gaining 4.22 percent on hopes the company may also be a takeover target, traders said.
Itau Unibanco shares added 0.94 percent despite posting weaker-than-expected profits on Tuesday.
Preferred shares of state-controlled oil company Petrobras gained 2.98 percent after departing Chief Executive Jose Sergio Gabrielli said the company will beat its 2011 oil and gas output this year.
Mexico's IPC index traded nearly flat, edging down 0.08 percent.
Telecommunications group America Movil drove losses in the index, falling 0.58 percent, while bottling group Femsa gained 0.68 percent.
Mexico is trailing far behind Brazil's 15 percent gain this year, with the IPC up just 2.6 percent. Mexican stocks held up better than Brazil last year, but the IPC has risen close to a record high and looks expensive to many investors.
"There is much more preference for Brazil," Juan Jose Resendiz, an analyst at brokerage Arka, who sees the potential for a selloff on global stock markets that could send Mexico's exchange down to support at 36,500 points.
Global markets have been spooked by the possibility of a messy Greek default. A key meeting on a needed bailout package was postponed until Wednesday.
"They are not done with the talks in Greece, and even though there is a certain optimism, I am not too convinced," he said.
Chile's IPSA index fell for a second day, dropping 0.34 percent. The index's relative strength index remained in "overbought" territory, however, suggesting shares have more room to fall in coming sessions.
Retailer Falabella drove the index falling 0.9 percent, while heavyweight industrial conglomerate Copec slipped 0.79 percent. (Additional reporting by Asher Levine in Sao Paulo and Rachel Uranga in Mexico City; Editing by Bob Burgdorfer)

"Disable Parking Fiasco"
About: Wansbeck Hospital Wansbeck Hospital Ashington NE63 9JJ
Posted by Anonymous
Anything else?
Following the emergency admittance of my Father in Law on the 21st August 2013, I and my wife visited Wansbeck on the evening of the 22nd. Due to my wifes disability I accessed the Northumbria NHS Website to check the availability of Disabled Parking. Directly resulting from this I registered both my car and that of my wife on the website in line with 'Parking Eye' directions. All is well, I thought!! I can get my disable wife to see her sick father. Oh was I to be proved wrong. Our visit was uneventfull, sadly returning again on the 25th Aug after a second emergency admission, but using the same parking protocols, vehicle having already been registered, valid disable badge displayed, diligently parked in an official disable bay. 3rd Sept 2013 guess what arrived through the post, a Parking Charge Notice demanding £70 for ' not purchasing the appropriate parking time or by remaining at the car park for longer than permitted' on the 22nd Aug. Disable Parking is free not £70 for 1 hour and 5 minutes. My amazement was very quickly replaced with anger. Being a dilligent person, I registered the vehicle via the appropriate website, I displayed a valid Disable Badge, parked in a designated bay, what more am i meant to do! Sadly my Father in Laws condition continues to deteriorate. I would envisage further visits to Wansbeck, and further hassle and unacceptable charging by what is obviously highway robbery conducted through a floored system. There is nothing like kicking people when they are vulnerable, come on Wansbeck, get your act together. Oh by the way guidance on your website says either; register your vehicle in advance by either completing the registration form on the website or by telephoning Parking Eye, I did and still recieved a Parking Charge Notice, alternatively inform the Hospital Reception, somewhat difficult when it's not staffed 24/7. I wait the final insult, the second Parking Charge Notice for the 25th Aug 2013! Don't get me started about the treatment of my father in law who has relatively advanced Alzheimers, a condition that you would have thought the NHS would know how to manage, sadly not. Wansbeck, you failed again !
Response from Wansbeck Hospital 3 years ago
Dear Sir I was really concerned and sorry to read about your experience of your father-in-laws care at Wansbeck Hospital, as well as the new car parking system. I can appreciate how frustrated you must feel after receiving a parking fine. I understand that after following the protocol for registering both of your vehicles you feel angry. With regard to your father-in-laws care, it is very difficult to provide you with an appropriate response due to the anonymous nature of your review. We would be really like to help you and listen to your concerns, please contact our Director Patient Experience, Annie Laverty on 07876502899. It is not in our interest that any of our patients have a poor experience of parking and we would help to help you resolve the matter. I have forwarded your comments on to our Director of Estates, Steven Bannister and he would like to help. To enable us to do this we will need some of your details. Please contact me by email at: email@example.com. I will make sure that Steven receives your details, so we can investigate this situation further and hopefully get a resolution as soon as possible. I hope this is helpful to you both. Best Wishes Jo Jo Mackintosh – Patient Experience Team

Ok, I'm still a newbie (only been doing this for a little over a year). I'm really dissappointed with myself this morning - gonna brush myself off, clean out that freakin tin & start again...
I received an order from a lady for a 4" high sponge cake - I've made her a 2.5-3" torted sponge before - so here is me thinking "ok, so to save time I'll just double the batch and cook it all at once" - BIG mistake!
At first I thought, you beauty! It was rising gorgeously in the oven, it took longer to cook obviously, took it out and let it cool like I always do. Not long after, it started to sink, more and more and more - I mean it REALLY SUNK. I had a look and I had a completely hollow cake! Probably less than 2" high, caved in and the texture - I don't even want to go there - it was like chaux pastry, kinda stringy, almost like when you break open a crossiant!
Aaarrgh, so pissed, that'll teach me to try & cut corners.
Ok, sorry about the long vent - I'm off to bake 2 amazing 2" sponges and make this cake!!!!
Thanks for reading - had to get this off my chest and hopefully help someone else in the process!
We have been there - done that!!! I could tell you about baking bread when I was college!!
Sorry you found out the hard way that some recipes just don't bake up properly when doubled and/or put into one pan.............
I always make 2 layers (or more) for a cake over 2" tall, even though I have 3 and 4 inch tall pans. I just don't like the way the taller layers bake.
Better luck next time!
Thank you guys, I really appreciate your replies!
I've just pulled the 2nd one out of the oven, all good! I've definately learnt my lesson.

Shadow Detection in Dynamic Scenes Using Dense Stereo Information and an Outdoor Illumination Model Claus B. Madsen1, Thomas B. Moeslund1, Amit Pal2, and Shankkar Balasubramanian2 1 Computer Vision and Media Technology Lab Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark [email protected] www.cvmt.aau.dk/~cbm 2 Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Assam, India Abstract. We present a system for detecting shadows in dynamic out- door scenes. The technique is based on fusing background subtraction operations performed on both color and disparity data, respectively. A simple geometrical analysis results in an ability to classify pixels into foreground, shadow candidate, and background. The shadow candidates are further refined by analyzing displacements in log chromaticity space to find the shadow hue shift with the strongest data support and rul- ing out other displacements. This makes the shadow detection robust towards false positives from rain, for example. The techniques employed allow for 3Hz operation on commodity hardware using a commercially available dense stereo camera solution. Keywords: Shadows, stereo, illumination, chromaticity, color. 1 Introduction Shadows are an inherent part of images. Especially in outdoor vision applica- tions shadows can be a source of grave problems for the processing and analysis of video data. For humans, though, shadows represent a significant cue to un- derstanding the geometry of a scene, and to understanding the illumination con- ditions, which in turn helps processing the visual data. In this paper we present an approach to accurately identifying shadow regions in outdoor, daylight video data in near real-time (presently around 3 Hz, with potential for significant im- provement). The main contributions of this work lie in utilizing a combination of color and dense depth data from a stereo rig for an initial, rough shadow de- tection, combined with a model-based chromaticity ana

However, the vote comes in amid a strike joined most recently by seasoned media practitioners from the country's largest television network, the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), who say their freedoms - and thus their work - are being compromised by government interference and control. They say Lee Myung Bak's administration selects the channels' senior executives, who in turn prevent reporting that criticises the government. While everyone does not agree with their sentiment, these media personnel have taken their work and protest online to tell what they say is the "truth".

The product designer Valentin Vodev made it his life's calling to develop a high-performance urban folding bike that makes mixed-mode commuting easy. In preparation for a trip to Cuba, he designed the first prototypes of the VELLO bike in 2009.
Through the support of Impulse, Austria Wirtschaftsservice GmbH, Valentin was able to perfect the VELLO bike with a team of product developers and manufacturers. After a four-year period to develop, test and optimize the folding mechanism, the frame geometry and the components, the VELLO bike became ready for production.
The VELLO bike was launched at the Vienna Design Week 2014 and featured on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. It won the Red Dot award "Best of the Best" 2015 and introduced onto the market in July 2015.
From left to right: Valerie Wolff (Business Development), Valentin Vodev (Designer), Lenny (Fan), Paris Maderna (Product Developer), Jakob Illera (Mechanical Engineer).
Valentin Vodev is a product designer who's been fascinated with mobility products and wheels ever since childhood. He holds two master's degrees from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and from the Royal College of Art in London. One of his first experiments was the "Roller Buggy", a baby carriage inspired by skateboarding, on which the lower part can be extended to a roller so that both parent and child can enjoy more 'riding fun'. The journey continued, followed by such projects as the "Pullchair", the smallest baby stroller in the world that can fit into a laptop bag, "Biquattro", his final project for the Royal College of Art, and the "Vienna Bike", a trike with a special tilting steering system. Many of Valentin's mobility products have won internationally acclaimed design prizes, such as the Red Dot Best of the Best 2015, Red Dot Concept Award, the Incheon Design Prize in the category "green design", the Dyson Award (International finalist) and the International Bicycle Design Award (three-time winner) as part of the Taipei Cycle Show.

Place Your Title Here
You can put a sub headline here.
Tackk is the newest format to
creatively share anything on the web.
Tuesday – method + materials
Make sure all apparatus is
clean and dry.
Place approximately 25 g of
potash alum in a beaker (250 ml or bigger) and add approximately 170 ml of hot
water. Stir the mixture until all the crystals have dissolved.
(NOTE: don't use all the alum
you have been given – keep a few crystals back in reserve in case you need to
"seed" the solution later.)
Filter the warm solution
through a filter funnel (in which filter paper has been inserted) into another
clean beaker. Cover the beaker of solution with the watch glass or fresh filter
paper and set aside in a cool sheltered place and allow it to stand undisturbed
overnight. The first beaker and funnel can be washed and dried and the residue
and filter paper used for filtration discarded.
- Wednesday – method +
The next day, observe the
beaker of solution. The bottom should have become covered with a layer of
smallish crystals which formed spontaneously as the solution cooled. Carefully
pour off the clear solution above the crystals into a clean beaker and set it
aside for later, leaving the crystals behind in the other beaker. If for any
reason, no crystals have formed after leaving the solution to stand overnight,
the solution can be "seeded" by adding a crystal from the original alum. Let it
stand overnight again and observe the formation of crystals. Alternatively, if
nothing has happened, crystal growth may also be induced by scratching the
bottom of the glass beaker with a glass stirring rod.
From the bed of crystals, one
good symmetrical crystal or group of crystals needs to be selected to act as
"seed" for your big crystal. Using a plastic spoon, spatula, tongs or tweezers,
transfer the selected crystal to the beaker containing the decanted solution,
trying to place it centrally in the beaker.
(A good technique to promote
uniform growth is to suspend the crystal with a nylon thread tied round a
stirring rod or pencil resting on the rim of the beaker. This step is not
essential, however, and good a crystal can usually be obtained just by leaving
the crystal on the bottom of the beaker.)
- Thursday – method +
Take a picture of the crystal,
preferably close to a ruler so that you can measure its size, and mark the level
of the liquid in the beaker. Record the date in your diary.
Cover the solution with a
loose-fitting paper hat that permits water to evaporate slowly whilst keeping
out dust.
Allow the solution to stand in
a draft free location, not in direct sunlight or near a heater. The aim is to
keep the temperature as constant as possible.
On the
Once a week record in your
diary the level of the solution in the beaker and if possible, without
disturbing your crystal, take a picture of it close to a ruler so that you can
estimate how much it has grown. Try and avoid disturbing crystals during the
growth phase as this may induce additional crystals to grow.
If small isolated crystals
appear, you may be able to carefully remove them with tweezers. Be careful not
to disturb your big crystal. If small crystals grow on the main crystal, remove
it, dry it with tissues, and carefully remove the adhering buds. Do not touch
the crystal with your fingers. The crystal is likely to be quite fragile, fairly
brittle, and easily damaged, so should not be dropped or bumped.
When it is decided to terminate
the experiment (after about 10 weeks or so), remove your crystal very carefully
from the beaker, dry it with tissues and with a ruler measure its length, width
and height. Compare the measurement, if you can, with the size of the original
crystal. Take a photo of the completed crystal (next to a ruler to confirm
the size)
To complete the artistic
component, students will digitally photograph the completed crystal, and using
the effects of light and shade, colour and other techniques, produce an artwork
featuring the crystal and demonstrating the principles of diffraction/
reflection/ dispersion using light and or objects/images (see examples). The
ingenuity of students will be encouraged to produce an innovative picture which
highlights the crystal.

Another competitive race this but DUBAI DYNAMO has been running well this winter and looks to be off a competitive mark back on the turf so has the verdict in preference to the returning pair of Deadly Encounter and Regeneration. Likely to be strip fit for his recent performances on the all-weather the pick ran a credible race under a penalty when placing last time out. That was following a decent score over the re-opposing Ishiadancer and now five pounds better off given an assignment he's won at before he has to get the call. Deadly Encounter hasn't had a great deal of racing and based on his close up forth in a better race at Goodwood off this mark last time has every chance of going well after sitting out the winter. Regeneration seems better on the all-weather surfaces than on turf but did go close at Yarmouth last summer. That said despite his unexposed nature he looks a little high in the weights now returning to grass. Steel Stockholder has a likeable profile and was a comfortable enough winner at Wolverhampton last time. His only previous course and distance run ended in success so he has a chance off this revised mark. It's the kind of race where you could mention half the field and still not get the winner but Dubai Dynamo is well treated and should run a big race.

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters Life!) - Boxing icon Evander Holyfield will fight in desperately poor Ethiopia for an undisclosed fee in a bout to raise money for HIV/AIDS charities.
Organizers hope the clash in July between the four-time world heavyweight champion and little-known local pugilist Sammy Retta will bring in between $5 million and $10 million.
"I continue to strive to be the very best but what got me to come here is the AIDS," Holyfield, wearing a green safari suit, told reporters in Addis Ababa late on Tuesday.
"If we don't find a cure to this, we'll be extinct."
Everton Boland, chief executive of promoters Golden Globe, said a substantial percentage of the money raised would go to charity, but he declined to discuss the fighters' purses.
"If you want to talk about money, we ain't up to that part yet," Boland said. "Ain't no boxer fighting for free."
Organizers said a group set up by 22 African First Ladies to fight HIV/AIDS is the only charity chosen so far to receive funds from the fight, but that they are considering others.
Holyfield's manager Ken Sanders said the 46-year-old, who some in the sport have argued is too old to still be fighting, plans to have another world title fight in September, possibly against WBA champion Nikolai Valuev.
The huge Russian won a majority points decision against Holyfield in December in Zurich, ending the American boxer's hopes of becoming the oldest ever title-holder.
Retta -- a 35-year-old based in Washington DC -- left the Ethiopian capital for the United States at 16 and has since won 18 professional fights and lost three.
He compared the planned July 26 bout against Holyfield in Addis Ababa with 1974's legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" clash in Kinshasa between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman.
"I feel so tremendous," Retta told the news conference. "Fighting Evander is like Ali fighting in Africa."

Determination of inorganic arsenic in food and feed – European initiatives in research and standardization of methods
- Authors:
- Abstract:
- The European legislation on trace elements concerning food and feed safety is based on total element concentrations expressed as maximum levels. However, information on the total content of an element does not always provide adequate information for evaluation of e.g. bioavailability and toxicity. These parameters may vary quite significantly depending on how the element is bound, i.e. its speciation, defined as the distribution of an element amongst defined chemical species in a system. The most important practical application of elemental speciation is in the area of toxicology and with the help of more detailed toxicological knowledge on the individual chemical elemental species should lead to more specific legislation. The present lecture will use arsenic as an illustrative example, where inorganic arsenic is considered much more toxic than organic bound and analytical methods for selective determination of inorganic arsenic are required in order to perform a correct risk assessment of dietary exposure. The lecture will provide the current status for recent and ongoing European initiatives and projects on methods for specific determination of inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs and feedingstuffs and expected future developments within this emerging scientific area will be discussed.

One glance at the thermometer and there's no getting around it -- summer is here!
And while scorching temperatures and high humidity can put a damper on summer fun for some, for psoriasis patients the hot, moist weather may be just what the doctor ordered!
"In general, people with psoriasis do better in summer for two main reasons -- No. 1, there's greater humidity, which helps keep the skin moist, and No. 2, there's more sunlight exposure," says Bruce Strober, MD, director of the Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Center at NYU Medical Center.
According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis develops when the regular system of cell turnover goes awry.
Normally, skin cells are shed every 28 to 30 days and immediately replaced by new ones. In psoriasis patients, however, this process is speeded up dramatically, with cell turnover occurring as quickly as every two to three days.
This, say experts, causes a kind of biological "traffic jam," causing old, dry skin cells to literally pile up on one another, forming the characteristic plaques.
When the air is humid, Strober tells WebMD, the skin is better able to retain moisture, which is key to easing those dry plaques. Moreover, he says, since UVA is a recommended treatment for psoriasis, the natural UVA rays of summer sun can be therapeutic.
That said, experts also tell us there are some summer precautions psoriasis patients need to heed. Among them, a reminder not to overdo time in the sun no matter how much you think it can help.
"You do not need excessive sun exposure to effectively treat psoriasis -- 30 minutes per day of natural sunlight is more than adequate -- and overdoing it could cause significant problems, not only increasing your risk of skin cancer, but sometimes making your psoriasis worse," says Strober.
That's because even a slight sun burn, says Strober, can damage the skin. And that not only worsens psoriasis plaques but can also cause new ones to develop.
"Essentially, sunburn can cause normal skin to turn into psoriasis skin because of the direct damage to skin cells," says Ellen Marmur, MD, chief of dermatologic and cosmetic surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
Experts say a unique aspect of psoriasis known as the Koebner phenomenon also plays a role. In this instance, any break in the skin or damage to skin cells can exacerbate that rapid cell turnover, causing new plaques to develop at the site of the damage. Experts say excessive sun exposure, which can cause sunburn, can do that kind of damage.
Psoriasis Sun Protection Advice: What to Use
To maintain the benefits of sun exposure while preventing problems, Marmur recommends liberal use of sunscreen, or, if possible, a sunblock, for complete protection.
"A lot of people don't realize that sunscreen only offers protection from UVA rays -- to get protection from both UVA and UVB rays you need to use a sunblock, which not only reduces your risk of skin cancer, but also prevents the kind of cell damage that causes psoriasis to flare," says Marmur.
However, she does caution us to avoid heavily fragranced sun products, which, she tells WebMD, can irritate sensitive skin. Instead, choose one with minimal additives, says Marmur, who recommends the "No Add" line of products.
Joyce Fox, MD, co-director of the Psoriasis Support Group of Los Angeles, says you can also seek out a sunscreen containing avobenzone or Parsol, which is not a sunblock but does screen out UVA and UVB rays.
"Everyone should be using these products, but they are essential for those with psoriasis," says Fox, a dermatologist with the Cedar's Sinai Medical Group in Los Angeles.
If you're wondering if it's safe to use self-tanners if you have psoriasis, Fox tells WebMD that it is. However, do be aware that the bronzing coloration can make psoriasis plaques darker and more obvious to the eye.
When Sun Is Not the Answer for Psoriasis
While 90% of psoriasis suffers will see improvement in the summer, about 10% -- those who are extremely sun sensitive -- may find that their condition worsens. For these people, says Strober, the warm humid air of summer can help but staying out of the sun is a must.
Additionally, he says some of the topical as well as the oral medications used to control all types of psoriasis can increase sun sensitivity, which in turn increases the risk of burning with even minimal exposure, as well as exacerbating the risk of a flare.
What to do: "Be certain to check with your dermatologist if your treatment increases sun sensitivity and if so, reduce your exposure time and always wear sun protection," says Strober.
On the flip side, you may be able to reduce your medication in summer, substituting brief sun exposures and the more humid air for part of your treatment. But, says Strober, be sure to check with your dermatologist before cutting down on your medication.
Bug Bites, Chlorine, and Other Summer Hazards
While the moist, humid air of summer is great for skin, it's also a happy atmosphere for an array of insects -- particularly skin nibbling mosquitoes and gnats. And that can be a problem for some psoriasis patients.
"Problems don't necessarily occur from the bite itself, but when you pick at it and scratch your skin you might start a plaque of psoriasis," Fox tells WebMD.
To help avoid problems, she suggests using an insect repellent -- as long as the percentage of the active ingredient DEET is moderately low.
"And use it only on the areas of skin that will be exposed -- and when you can, cover as much of your skin with clothing as possible, which is still the best protection," says Fox.
Marmur agrees and also suggests taking steps to control insects in your environment.
"Citronella candles or electronic bug zappers can be very helpful in keeping your direct environment clear of insects; if you still need an insect repellent always choose one for sensitive skin," says Marmur.
When it comes to fun in the sun, perhaps nothing is better than an invigorating healthy swim. Do it in ocean water and the salt content may provide some additional benefits, gently exfoliating those dead cells and helping psoriasis plaques to look and feel better.
But whether you swim in the ocean or a pool, experts say never head for the water without a moisturizer in tow.
"The single best thing you can do for psoriasis is to keep your skin moist -- winter or summer -- so if you are going to spend time in water, you must remember to add a layer of moisturizer as soon as you come out to ensure that your skin stays protected," says Marmur.
Fox says you can do double duty for your skin by finding a moisturizer with a built-in sunscreen.
"Apply it as soon as you come out of the water and you'll doubly protect your skin," says Fox.
If you've been swimming in chlorinated water, however, you might also want to consider rinsing your skin before applying the moisturizer. How can this help?
According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, all water pulls moisture from the skin -- and water that has been heavily chlorinated or doused with other sanitizing chemicals can pull even more moisture from your cells. If left to dry on the skin's surface, say experts, drying and irritation can develop.
"A quick shower can help rinse the chemicals from your skin, but don't forget to moisturize afterwards and, if you're going back out, put on the sunscreen," says Fox.
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
While most folks with psoriasis actually see a sharp improvement in warmer temperatures, this is not always the case. For those who suffer with a specific type of psoriasis known as seborrhea - affecting the scalp and face -- summer can actually exacerbate problems.
The reason, says Fox, has to do with sweat, which can irritate the skin and sometimes increase symptoms.
"In people who have facial psoriasis -- in the creases of the nose, in the eyebrows, or on the scalp -- the heat can provoke problems, so it's important to remain cool and to get into air conditioning if your body starts to overheat," says Fox.
Marmur agrees and adds that if you do start to perspire heavily, gently wipe the sweat from your skin using a washcloth rinsed in cool water, or a fragrance-free baby wipe used on newborns.
Most of all, our experts say using common sense in summer by being certain to protect your skin against overexposure to the sun and guarding against extreme dryness and irritation, you can enjoy the warmer weather and the health benefits of the season, without fear or worry.
"My best advice is to get outside and enjoy the summer -- don't let your psoriasis stop you!" Fox exclaims.

Deciding to cancel a wedding can be one of the most difficult decisions a person will make. After the decision has been made, announcing that the wedding was called off is the next step. The rules of etiquette can be flexible on how to cancel a wedding. However, it is important to let both your guests and vendors know of the decision as quickly as possible. The longer that you wait to announce that the wedding in canceled, the more money everyone stands to lose.
Things You'll Need
- Note cards
Begin contacting your guests. If the wedding is less than six weeks away or is a destination wedding, start making phone calls. Any guests that would be making travel arrangements should be notified first, to save them the financial strain.
Send printed cards stating that the wedding will not be taking place if your invitations have not been mailed or there is still a significant amount of time left before the date. You do not need to specify on the card why the wedding was canceled.
Call the hall and vendors. You may lose your deposit, but the longer you wait the less chance you have of receiving a refund. If the vendors can still book another job for the day, you may have a chance of negotiating for more money back.
Return any gifts that have arrived. Send a note or card along with the gift stating that you appreciated the thought and thanking the giver.
Tips & Warnings
- Do not feel pressure to explain the situation.

1969 Gibson RB-150
Quite rare and quite wonderful in the world of Gibson Bluegrass banjos, the RB-150 is an unusual combination of their best sound and feel, but with a less costly look. This is basically an RB-100, which was designed to be a much less expensive alternative to the world-famous and oft-copied RB-250 Mastertone, but it's got all the important parts of an RB-250 that an RB-100 does not have. The RB-100 was same size and all but without the famed Mastertone tone ring and without the fancier appointments; I think they must've offered this upgraded RB-150 combination for maybe twenty minutes in the late 1960s only. It's got the wonderful RB-250 Mastertone tone ring and double coordinator-rod system inside the rim to keep it all real solid, but without the mother-of-pearl inlay and all that other cosmetic hoopla. Result: basically a real Gibson Mastertone banjo but for a lot less dough. I don't think I've seen more than two or three examples of this model in the last forty years, was thrilled to have come across this one. And it's clean, and very nicely set up right here by us, and it can be yours for only $1495 w/hsc

Luke Ravens, a young teenager, a pale frail boy but really wasn't. In fact, he had everything.
Under the baggy clothes he'd always wear was lean strong muscles, and built he'd use for volleyball, but never did he think that there'll be scars there, soon.
Despite all the things he had- an overwhelming sarcastic family, wealth, and a loyal mute best friend, he was hiding something more beyond that skin of his. A mistake.
A tiny single mistake that turned out to be a huge one. A huge one that turned out to be more gigantic than everything he was holding.
A mistake that tore his heart, and decisions apart.

COMEDY fans are in for a treat, as the Lighthouse Poole serves up double helpings of stand-up tomorrow and Thursday night.
The popular Comedy Works season ends with a bang tomorrow with four of the circuit's best comedians.
Saturday's line-up confirmed so far includes Christian Steel, James Alderson and Pierre Hollins, with one more name to be announced.
Christian Steel has gigged across the UK and Europe for years and is a Geordie with a naturally quick wit and a warm stage presence.
James Alderson has been described by many as an 'everyman comedian' – women laugh at his observations and self-deprecating style, and men laugh with him, feeling his frustrations and understanding his experiences.
Thursday sees a final chance to catch some of the best pre-Edinburgh Festival comedy at the Lighthouse with Before The Fringe that showcases the stand-up comedy talents of Luke Toulson and Vikki Stone.

BRASILIA, March 25 (Reuters) - Opposition legislators asked Brazil's top prosecutor on Tuesday to investigate President Dilma Rousseff's role in the purchase of a Texas refinery by Brazil's state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA which critics say was way overpriced.
Rousseff, who chaired the company's board at the time, last week said her approval of the 2006 purchase was based on a "flawed" and "incomplete" executive summary.
Mounting criticism of the deal puts her in a difficult position by providing her opponents with ammunition to attack her reputation as a good administrator just six months before she seeks reelection to a second term
A group of lawmakers led by Senator Randolfe Rodrigues of the socialist PSOL party asked Prosecutor General Rodrigo Janot to investigate whether Rousseff lied about the refinery deal.
Public prosecutors are already probing the Pasadena Refinery purchase. Investigators at Brazil's TCU audit court have questioned the value Petrobras paid for the asset, which processes about 100,000 barrels of crude a day, including the heavy crude that dominates Petrobras output.
Petrobras, as the company is known, paid $360 million to buy 50 percent of Pasadena Refining System Inc. in 2006 from Belgium's Astra Oil NV, more than eight times what Astra paid for the whole refinery a year earlier. The price rose to $1.18 billion in 2012 after a dispute between Astra and Petrobras led to Petrobras' buyout of Astra's stake.
Rousseff's most likely rivals in the October 5 election, Senator Aecio Neves of the main opposition party PSDB and Pernambuco state governor Eduardo Campos are both calling for a congressional inquiry into the refinery purchase.
While it is unlikely that Rousseff will face prosecution, the investigations could undermine her comfortable lead over the most likely opponents in current opinion polls ahead of the October 5 election.
Petrobras is already in the spotlight due to investigations in Brazil and abroad that company officials accepted bribes from Dutch oil production ship leaser SBM Offshore NV.
These allegations have added to criticism of the performance of Petrobras on Rousseff's watch. She was chairwoman of the company from Jan. 1, 2003 until March 19, 2010 when she stepped down to run for president
The state-run company's debt has ballooned by 64 percent since Rousseff became president on Jan. 1, 2011 to $114.3 billion at the end of 2013. The debt is the largest of any oil company according to Thomson Reuters.
Petrobras debt has soared as Rousseff and her Workers' Party pushed the company to spend billions on developing giant new offshore resources while controlling the price of gasoline and diesel fuel on the domestic market.
With the country's refineries unable to meet demand, rising imports are being sold at home at a loss.
The world's sixth-largest company as recently as 2008, Petrobras has lost half of its market value since Rousseff became president and is now worth about $74 billion. (Additional reporting by Jeb Blount in Rio de Janeiro; editing by Andrew Hay)

Aretha Franklin, the famous jazz singer
Publisher and Website's Purpose
I am Amy and I am a sixth grader at Holman Middle School. I decided to do a biography on Aretha Franklin. I decided to do the biography on Aretha Franklin because she is a famous singer and I love to sing. She also inspires other people to become singers. Some facts that I learned about her is that she is a famous jazz/blues singer. Some of her most famous songs by her is Respect, Freeway of Love and I Say a Little Prayer.
This is a picture of Aretha Franklin when she was in her teens!
Some of the things about Aretha Franklin worth mentioning are: she was born on March 25, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee. Aretha performed in gospel programs with her dad. She is known as a vocal prodigy and was very talented at a very early age. She moved to New York to work on her first blues-jazz album. In addition, Aretha practiced by herself to sing. Her dad was very musical and loved to sing. For instance, Aretha was taught by her dad on how to play the piano. Also, she played the piano very nicely. Because of the effort in her childhood, she has won 18 Grammy Awards.
This is the picture of Aretha winning a Grammy Award.
Cause and Effect
She has worked very hard when she was a kid in music. She learned piano from her dad. She practiced singing everyday. When she was a child she was known as a child prodigy which means you were gifted at music from a very young age. She performed in gospel programs with her dad and since she definitely took music seriously, she has won 18 Grammy Awards. She is known as a vocal prodigy. She has performed at many shows and concerts. She is also one of the most honored artists in Grammy history. As a result of what she has done in childhood days, she is now known as the Queen of Soul or the Soul of Music.
This is a picture of Aretha Franklin singing at a concert.
Aretha Franklin was born on March 25, 1942 in Memphis Tennessee. When Aretha was six, her parents separated and Aretha stayed with her dad. Her dad was a gospel singer and he performed in a church. Aretha got interested and joined him. When everyone saw her sing, they thought she had a powerful and beautiful voice. When Aretha grew older, she moved to New York in 1960 to make her first jazz album. It was a big hit. In 1968, Aretha won her first Grammy Award. She was put in the Rock and Roll of Fame in 1987. In 1992, she was known as the Queen Of Soul. Aretha has made great hit songs and it was a huge success.

Been chatting to a girl online for a few weeks. We really clicked and she said she likes me. Should also mention she contacted me first. So I've suggested once or twice (not over the top) that we should go out. She seemed keen but won't commit to anything. Whats the deal with that? Any suggestions?
Most Helpful Guy
i dunno man. 90% of the time the girls are asking me when im gonna take them out. sounds like she's just not that into it. when a girl is into going out with she will make it very very obvious00|00|0
It's a bit weird, when we chat we both have a ton of fun messing around. Some girls just seem to take ages deciding if they want to go out. I'm not the best looking guy out there, but she's not massively good looking either, maybe she's just having some fun chatting?
dude girls have an exponentially higher rate of messages then guys get. I've hooked up with girls from tinder and when i saw their phone i couldnt believe how many messages they had. literally hundreds upon hundreds every other day. women have the luxory of being extremely selective on dating sites so you really need to be above the competetion in just about every way to get a chance. remember, the girl your talking to now is a couple clicks away from a guy who is willing and ready to bend over backwards just to do her favors.
