A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.
This is her story of giving gratitude.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition.
One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
May you be so fortunate …
To be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.

This world seems to veil the Gate of Heaven, but how is this possible, if Heaven is not a place, nor a condition, but simply the true state of wholeness, and therefore infinite? Illusions on the other hand feed on rejection, but in the light of acceptance they must disappear. Furthermore even we become illusions, if we oppose appearances, because we loose our state of wholeness. Escaping limitations is therefore a tricky thing to do, because the mere attempt to escape a thing reinforces separation in one´s minds. The surrender of resistance against what is seems to be the only other way to go. The direction of the path depends on one´s definition of salvation, either as escape or integration.

Posted Enlightenment, trust in godin
If we could accept the word we see as part of our mind, we would feel underneath it the incredible blissful state the One Mind we all share. Escape from our condition of separation is therefor only possible AFTER dropping our defenses. This is also true concerning sickness and healing. Only by not resisting being sick for a moment, we can wash through the intensity of it to the other side, experiencing wholeness again.

Posted A Course In Miracles, trust in godin
Our core spiritual sickness is our unwillingness to be here. And the world of time and space is an outcome of that wish, a world of "other places". If that is true, how can a temporary device for leaving time and space, so uplifting and inspiring it may be, be the right practise of transcending this condition? Would it not rather be the opposite, the open undefended presence in this moment, inviting the whole world to collapse into my energy field?

Natural Remedies for Obsessive and Compulsive Behaviors in Cats
Natural Remedies for Obsessive and Compulsive Behaviors in Cats
Obsessive and compulsive behaviors in cats are repetitive actions that may or may not be normal behaviors, but they are performed without logical context or purpose in response to an irresistible urge. Sucking or chewing on fabrics, excessive grooming, repeated vocalizations, pacing and constant tail chasing are some of the most common obsessive and compulsive cat behaviors.
Causes of Repetitive Behaviors in Cats
A variety of medical problems, including allergic skin conditions, fleas or other external parasites, pain, dementia and other neurological disorders (particularly in older cats), and nutritional deficiencies, can account for observable repetitive behaviors. That's why it's important to take your cat to the vet for a checkup before assuming the problem is feline obsessive compulsive disorder ("OCD").
Feline obsessive and compulsive behaviors can be caused by stress and anxiety, which also have numerous possible causes. Boredom due to lack of adequate physical and mental stimulation is a primary one, especially for indoor-only cats; on a somewhat related note, these behaviors may be a form of attention seeking.
Other common stress and anxiety triggers include moving, travel, disruptions to routine or the familiar environment (as with renovations or new furniture), unpleasant noises (maybe there's construction across the street), the loss or addition of a human or animal family member, separation anxiety when the house is empty for prolonged periods, and seeing cats or prey animals outside but being unable to get to them.
Resolving the underlying cause, whether it's medical or stress-related, is key to treating these repetitive behaviors. However, once they become ingrained, it may be extremely difficult to eliminate them.
Naturally Resolving Sources of Stress
There's no need to jump to anti-anxiety medications when obsessive and compulsive behaviors can be resolved with environmental and behavioral changes that address the source of stress and anxiety.
Provide your cat with a variety of interactive toys, hiding places, and an item or two to climb, like a cat tree. Play an active game with your cat at least once per day for at least 15 to 20 minutes. If your cat is chewing, do your best to prevent access to inappropriate or potentially dangerous items and instead offer catnip, cat grass or kitty chew toys. If your cat seems to get anxious about what she sees out a particular window, use curtains or blinds to eliminate the view.
Establish as much routine as possible. Daily activities like feeding, cleaning the litter box, brushing and play should occur at the same times each day. Keep your cat's stuff, including her litter box, bedding, and food and water bowls, in the same locations. Also, don't positively reinforce attention-seeking behaviors by rewarding it with attention.
Observe your cat to determine whether other items, circumstances, or actions seem to trigger her obsessive and compulsive behavior. When you find the common denominator, address the stressor appropriately. For things that cannot be eliminated, consider desensitizing your cat by gradually increasing her exposure to the stressor over time and concurrently offering treats for positive reinforcement.
Natural Remedies for Obsessions and Compulsions in Cats
While attempting to address sources of stress or manage health conditions to alleviate obsessive and compulsive behaviors, your cat may also benefit from natural remedies for her anxiety and stress. These may help calm her and reduce the need for the repetitive behaviors that comfort her.
Here are a few natural ways to manage stress in cats; try different approaches to find what works best for your cat:
- Play soothing music quietly
- Give her stress-relieving dried herbs (never essential oils), such as catnip, valerian, chamomile, hops, or an alcohol-free Bach flower remedy.
- Use an all-natural diffuser or spray that mimics calming pheromones.
- Dress your cat in one of the new shirt-style products that gently constrict her torso for comfort.
- Use lavender or other calming scents for aromatherapy.
- Learn T-Touch and massage techniques.
- Try acupuncture – yes, acupuncture!
Don't Punish or Physically Prevent Repetitive Behaviors
As an important end note, don't attempt to stop obsessive and compulsive behaviors with negative consequences or by physically restraining your cat from performing these repetitive acts (e.g., by holding her, putting her in an Elizabethan collar, etc.). Your cat won't learn a lesson this way, and these efforts will only increase her stress and anxiety. This increased stress and anxiety will, in turn, make her compulsions worse and may even create new ones.

I love the look of small bouquets in silver mint julep cups! There are a lot of gorgeous antique sterling mint julep cups on eBay but they are way too expensive for my budget. If you want the look but can't afford the real thing then you can find reproduction cups most any place that sells wedding supplies. I've seen them at Michaels and on eBay.
Getting that expensive look for less is what I love! Even the roses were a deal. I bought them this weekend for $5 a dozen at the grocery store! They must have been left over from Valentine's Day but they still looked great!

Hi Cindy~ ~ ~
It has been my experience that a Mint Julep tastes so fine in any glass you care to put it in. It must be heavenly in the official cup although I have never tryed it in one. My friend Joy makes a devine libation with her fresh grown mint. I'll have to mention this to her. It will give us a new purpose when we go Antiquing! Maybe we will get lucky and find a great deal.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Cindy-
I just love anything that is old silver. The julep cups are lovely, even more so with the roses in them. I have a question, is the blue room displayed on the right side of your top banner a room in your house??? I have had that same room living in my soul for some time now....What is that paint color?? It looks so heavenly! I would love to see more pictures of the room if it is yours!! Blessings- LillySue

Hi Cindy! Thank you so much for the blog love and for the sweet comments. You just made Leslie's day. She sent me an excited e-mail telling me someone had just bought some earrings and they had found her through you. So thank you, girl!
I love the cups you have posted. Can you believe I passed 2 of them up at the thrift shop last week. I think they $2 bucks each. But I couldn't think of anything to do with them. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting them.

The pink roses look beautiful, and thanks for the tip about where to find reproduction mint julep cups. Your blog is more beautiful than ever!!
On another note, I missed several weeks of your blog due to personal things going on in my life so I didn't know about you being published. My mom called me one day and asked what the name of the woman with the shabby chic blog I love is. She recognized you from the article in the Mercury News because I'm always sharing different things about you and your blog with her!! LOL!! I don't get the paper, but she saved the article for me. Congrats on being published and on all the other wonderful things that have been happening in your life!!! You should be very proud as you've worked hard and have had fun doing it......that's what makes you special!!
Also, I wanted to let you know that I put your button on my blog, Butterfly Whispers (link under my email address below).
Thanks so much!!

I love those, too! Mint juleps are special where my husband went to law school in Kentucky because of their association with horse racing and the Kentucky Derby. I don't drink, but still love a derby cup with a pretty bouquet. We have an antique derby cup that my husband's grandfather owned. I need to polish it up in time for the derby this year.

Oh my! As I'm not American I wonder if those mint julep cups are very popular as they are so expensive at eBay? As the dollar has raisen so much towards the SEK they would be far too expensive for my budget too.
Love those roses. It's very difficult to get those here in Sweden. At least where I live.
Hope you have a nice day.

DOVER-FOXCROFT, Maine — It takes Elaine Draper about 30 seconds to finish a single DuraFresh cloth.
Sitting quietly at her workstation, five large spools of thread feeding the needle of her industrial sewing machine, the GLOBEco Maine LLC production supervisor quickly stitches gold-colored thread along the edges of the rectangular cloth, with the machine also cutting the 9½ x 11 inch material precisely to size.
"You need to get to know the machine. Every machine is a little different. They all have their quirks, just like a car," Draper said Friday. "You need to learn your machine. It's very hard to jump from one to the other. But in order to build up your speed and get these perfected, it does take a while."
Behind her, two other workers stitch DuraFresh cloths. They are on their way to producing what company president Phil Pastore estimated would be about 150,000 packages of the multi-use wipes worth about $400,000 for shipping to more than 300 retail outlets from Millinocket to St. Louis over the next three months.
The manufacturing facility in the front end of the Save-A-Lot supermarket on West Main Street is the latest step in the development of GLOBEco, which Pastore and partner Mark Snyder hope to grow from a five- to a 40-worker company over the next two years.
"It's been a frustrating process, but I am ecstatic about where we are today," Pastore said Friday. "We have all the manufacturing components in place, and we're selling to key customers."
Pastore estimates that about $1 million in private investment and grants from the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development and Coastal Enterprises Inc., among others, have gone into the partners' 1½-year-old venture. It opened on West Main Street in July.
Pastore estimates that the company has made 40,000 cloths so far and sold about 10,000. The cloths manufactured at the facility in recent weeks constitute the first wave of production at the new facility.
The company's challenge: to balance sales growth against manufacturing capacity to make enough cloth wipes – and develop more products – to compete in the $5 billion cleaning cloth market and the $2 billion disinfectant wipe sector.
At the moment, much of the company's assets are spread around the globe. The eight-layer multi-weave wood fiber that allows the cloth to rinse 99 percent germ-free is made in Asia and shipped to Dover-Foxcroft for final assembly, Pastore said.
And the assembly and packaging for retail sale are done almost entirely by hand, Pastore said.
But Pastore hopes to have True Textiles Inc. of Guilford share the load with his Asian manufacturers in producing the large spools of wood-fiber cloth that his workers sew. True Textiles, which advertises itself as a leading North American manufacturer of commercial textiles, such as panel fabric, upholstery and cubicle curtains, is finishing a 29,000-yard run that has so far tested well, Pastore said.
Pastore expects to receive a $62,500 packing machine in late January. With that, "an hour's worth of packing can be done in three or four minutes," he said.
Pastore hopes his company's growth will continue. He estimates that one set of wipes can replace as many as 20 rolls of paper towels.
Clients include Hannaford supermarkets, which has more than 180 stores in five states, and Schnucks of St. Louis, a supermarket chain with more than 90 stores in the Midwest. Goulette's IGA Foodliner of Guilford, LeRoux Specialty Products, Paris Farmer's Union of Oxford and several other IGAs around Maine are customers. Restaurants and hardware stores also are stocking DuraFresh, Pastore said. It retails from $4.99 to $6.99 per package of two.
Goulette's IGA manager Diane Rollins said that so far the product has been received well.
"I have used it myself and really liked them and I have had several other customers say how much they liked them. It stays fresh. It doesn't get smelly like a regular dishcloth. I like the weight of it. It is a nice bulky cloth. It's not real thin and cheap," Rollins said.
Tim Currier, general manager of Maine Hardware, a 27,000 square-foot store in Portland, said he has just started stocking his shelves with DuraFresh.
"I have been a buyer of theirs when they had a different product," Currier said. "I just got the first few cases of it [DuraFresh] in the store. I think it is a good product. I hope they get their name out there and people understand what they're all about."
"It is exciting to see that a product like this is made in Maine," Currier said.

I gave the following speech in support of reinstating the National Minimum Wage today (Sept. 16th) in the House of Commons.
Mr. Speaker,
I'm proud to say that, as many Canadians know (this isn't a news flash), Newfoundland and Labrador is a have-province.
In 2008, for the first time since Confederation in 1949 (that's almost 60 years), we hit a milestone in that we stopped receiving equalization.
Where for years we were seen as a drain, a poor cousin of Canada (although that's most definitely debatable, I would say it was never the case, Mr. Speaker), today we officially contribute more to the Confederation than we get back.
Our confidence, our self-esteem as Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, as who we are, has improved.
We're not cocky. We're not uppity. We look down on no one.
The memory of hard times isn't that far off (and it never seems that far away), and there are still far too many people who aren't benefiting from the have status.
It feels good to be a have province.
We were always known across Canada as hard workers, as proud of where we come from, but now we're just a little bit prouder.
But, and here's the but, in the wise words of one of my constituents - there are too many have-not people.
There are too many have not families in a have province.
Former premier Brian Peckford once famously said that someday the sun would shine and have not would be no more.
Well, Mr. Speaker, the economic sun is finally shining in Newfoundland and Labrador, but there will always be have-nots.
That's why I stand today in support of the motion by the honourable member for Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie) that, in the opinion of the House, the government should reinstate the federal minimum wage and increase it incrementally to $15 per hour over five years.
Mr. Speaker,
At $10 an hour, the minimum wage in Newfoundland and Labrador is tied for lowest in the country.
And, and we still have the highest unemployment rate of all provinces.
There hasn't been an increase in the minimum wage since 2010.
That will change next month when the minimum wage in Newfoundland and Labrador will increase by 25 cents an hour.
For a full-time minimum-wage worker that 25-cent-an-hour increase will work out to about $10 a week.
Which will buy four litres of milk and two loaves of bread.
Not a lot, Mr. Speaker.
A 25 cent an hour increase will not make much of a difference in the lives of our have-nots.
The New Democratic Party of Newfoundland and Labrador is calling for a greater increase in the minimum wage.
In August, 2012 the Progressive Conservative government commissioned a report that recommended increasing the minimum wage and tying it to inflation and the Consumer Price Index.
Government ignored its own report.
So much for the Prime Minister saying today during Question Period that he would leave it to the provinces to set the minimum wage.
Newfoundland and Labrador New Democrats held a minimum wage town hall in St. John's earlier this month, an event that drew too many stories of poverty.
Let me quote Russell Cochrane, a St. John's resident in his 20s who's worked several minimum wage jobs.
"It's degrading when you work a full-time job, you come out of it with only enough money to pay your rent and then have one week of groceries, wondering where you're going to eat for the second week.
That hunger sticks. And it's a hunger that doesn't only degrade your body. It wears at your soul. It wears at your sense of self-worth."
Mr. Speaker,
The motion before this House today is a starting point to address that degradation, that hunger, and to address income inequality.
By boosting standards for workers under federal jurisdiction – like banks and financial services, telecommunications and broadcasting - the federal government can show leadership and set an example for provinces – like Newfoundland and Labrador – and improve wages across the country.
Speaking of my home province, we have one of the highest percentages of minimum wage earners in Canada.
In 2011, 9.7 per cent of workers or 19,700 earned minimum wage.
In Canada as a whole only 6.8 per cent earned minimum wage.
New Democrats believe that Canadians who work hard and play by the rules should be able to make a decent living.
Is that asking for too much, Mr. Speaker?
Is that asking for too much here in Canada – Canada – one of the richest countries in the world?
Now Mr. Speaker, we're not reinventing the wheel – there was a national federal minimum wage until 1996.
What happened then?
The Liberals eliminated it, Mr. Speaker.
Instead of doing the right thing and raising the federal minimum wage that had stagnated for a decade, the Liberals washed their hands of the problems and killed it altogether.
In real terms, between 1975 and 2013 the average minimum wage increased by just one penny.
One cent, Mr. Speaker.
That means that workers earning the average minimum wage have only received a one-cent raise over the past 40 years even though our economy grew by leaps and bounds.
Mr. Speaker, this motion to reinstate the federal minimum wage and increase it incrementally to $15 an hour over 5 years will have little impact on federal finances as most federal employees already earn above the minimum wage.
And most private sector workers under federal jurisdiction also make above $15 an hour.
But the reinstatement of a federal minimum wage will show leadership, it will send a message to all provinces to follow suit.
Mr. Speaker …
Income inequality in our country is spiraling out of control.
The incomes of the top 1 per cent are surging while the typical Canadian family has seen their income fall over the past 35 years.
Over the past 35 years of mostly federal Liberal governments.
Mr. Speaker, let me summarize …
No full-time worker in Canada should live in poverty.
I repeat, no full-time worker in Canada should live in poverty.
In the words of Linda McQuaig, an author and journalist and one-time New Democrat candidate, a $15 an hour federal minimum wage would be a bold step towards establishing that principle.
That no full-time worker should live in poverty.
Minimum wage jobs aren't just for teenagers, a way to occupy them after school and put spending money in their pockets.
These are real jobs and real incomes that too many families depend on.
Women, for example, are disproportionately minimum-wage earners.
In Newfoundland and Labrador women make up 60.4 per cent of minimum-wage earners.
Other minimum wage earners include immigrants, recent graduates and too many others who can only find part-time work and need to hold down two or three jobs to survive.
Mr. Speaker, let me bring this speech home with another quote from the minimum wage town hall in St. John's earlier this month.
Let me quote Ellen, a Memorial University engineer student: "We need to stop being cheerleaders for the most wealthy interests in our society and stick up for someone else who needs it."
More and more people in this country need sticking up for, Mr. Speaker.
More and more the gap between the rich and the poor in this country is widening.
Mr. Speaker, from the world's perspective Canada is a have country.
Few countries have what we have.
But it's the have-nots who we have to look out for.
If the measure of a great country is how well it looks after its most vulnerable, then we've fallen short under this Conservative government and Liberal administrations before it.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

This little snippet taken from from Lucy Mangan's column in today's edition of The Guardian answers that question.
Intellectually challenged Gail Trimble
Q: Your starter for 10: who is Gail Trimble?
A: She's the University Challenge contestant who carried her Oxford college team to victory by answering two-thirds of the quiz questions single-handed.
Q: How did the public respond to this feat?
A: By and large with the traditional mixture of vitriol, contempt and gnashing fear that the British reserve for puppy killers, child abusers and intellectuals. They called her a snob, supercilious, patronising and many other derisive terms too depressing to repeat.
Q: Was she granted any meaningful accolade at all?
A: Yes. She was asked to do a photoshoot for Nuts magazine. But she turned it down.
Q: So she is a snob?
A: Yeah, totally.

How to find the Email Header / EML in Outlook 2016 / 2013 / 2010 / 2007
What is an Email Header / EML file?
Ever email that's sent has 2 parts, the body (what you see when you read the message), and the header. The header has information like the server the email came from, who sent it, what time it was sent, who the email was intended for. This information is important when you get a suspicious email or spam email that slips through the SPAM filter, as it can help find where exactly the email originated from.
Step 1 - (1) Double Click on the email you want to get the EML for then (2) click on Messages
Step 2 - Click on the small icon near the top right (it may be under the Follow Up icon, or another)
Step 3 - You will see the Internet Headers: at the bottom of this window. Right-click inside the header window, choose Select All, then right-click again and click Copy. Now you can close this window and paste the header into a text document or email to send to us to investigate for you.

Collingwood is renowned for its beautiful historical buildings and this Oxford Street residence is no exception.
Originally renovated in the 1990's, the owners of this converted warehouse sought to amplify its industrial features to create a contemporary home with a distinct style.
Award winning studio, Breathe Architecture cleverly designed an extension to include a third bedroom. An industrial style was achieved through the use of steel, strong timber details, concrete bench tops, clean lines and modern fittings.
The result is a stunning home, professionally built with the original vision and aesthetic principles achieved.

- Artist: Mary Lorson & the Soubrettes
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 8/23/2011
|your cart is empty
Mary Lorson and the Soubrettes are fronted, not surprisingly, by Mary Lorson (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion), who began her career twenty years ago as the lead singer of the noisepop band Madder Rose. Lorson has since steered the jazzy artrock group, Saint Low, scored several films with Billy Coté, and collaborated on numerous dramatic and musical projects. For her latest record, Lorson has dressed her rhythmic guitar and piano-based compositions with subtle banjo and standup bass support, provided by Amelia Sauter (bass, vocals) and Leah Houghtaling (banjo, tenor guitar, vocals). Soubrettes were hard-working comic actresses of the vaudeville era. The band that bears this moniker is the latest avenue for Lorson's creative explorations, much of which have been informed by her musical play-in-progress, Freak Baby and the Kill Thought, about vaudeville wild woman, Eva Tanguay. Tanguay was the first iconic, self-defined, out-of-control American female star. She was to Sarah Bernhart as Janis Joplin was to Helen Hayes; enthralling but dark and kind of crazy. So the music I m writing for the play is trying to express that visceral intensity in aesthetic terms we can understand today. It's a challenge. Indeed, BurnBabyBurn's eleven tracks show an eclectic writer and producer at work. Tied together thematically by Lorson's interest in American culture and attitudes, her arrangements are sober, whimsical, layered, spare, damning and forgiving. Journalists have hailed Mary Lorson's voice as an ever-evolving expressive instrument and a sound that lingers in the mind like the smell of a candle which has been blown out. On BurnBabyBurn, Lorson helms the ship with attitude and authenticity.

Please welcome my guest Linda Nightingale to Dish The Pie. Today Linda and I are talking SouthernPecan Pie and her Romantic Suspense, Gambler's Choice. But before I ask Linda about her fab book, I need to know...
Do you like desserts, Linda? What is your favourite and would you share the recipe with us?
Linda: I'm not much of a dessert person, but I love ice cream. Since I can't make my own ice cream, I'll share the recipe for something my mom used to make…Southern Pecan Pie.
Monique: Oh yum! I love pecan anything. Bring it on!
|Linda's Mom's handwritten recipe for Southern Pecan Pie.
Linda: A guilty pleasure—yes—pecan pie (as in the recipe!)
Monique: Yummy! What's your favourite food?
Linda: Lobster, hands down, no contest—but I love a good, medium rare steak prepared Pittsburgh style (charred on the outside, very rare on the inside). I'll also take snow crab, king crab or lamb chops with mint sauce. Hum, I must be hungry as of this writing.
Monique: I think we can all agree that Lobster is pretty delish. How important is humour to you?
Linda: Very. That's high on my list of priorities in finding the man of my dreams. I had a British gentlemen once as a boyfriend and he constantly made me laugh. Such fun!
Monique: How often do you laugh, Linda?
Linda: A lot—most of the time at myself. I'm very clumsy.
Monique: Awww...maybe you're one of my heroines . When was the last time you laughed?
Linda: This morning, but as to a fit of hilarity, my friend and I went to Galveston for my birthday. We started laughing and couldn't stop, each feeding the other another line off the cuff until our sides hurt.
Monique: Happy belated birthday! When was the last time you cried?
Linda: I read a post on Facebook about how one missed her father. I miss mine to this day, and he died in 2006. I cried then.
Monique: I sympathise. I still shed a tear when I think of my loved ones who have gone home to be with the Lord. Would you tell us a bit about your book, Linda?
Becca McQuaid came to England to find the perfect horse but instead met a darkly mysterious challenge in Austen Heath, Baron of Hampton. She's determined to buy Austen's stallion Gambler's Choice. He's determined not to sell, but the rivals are thrown together by an accident that leaves Austen with a broken leg and the threat he'll never ride again.
Austen Heath has the title, heritage and manor house…but not the fortune. Becca is wealthy. Her charms are irresistible, but he believes she's shopping for a Ladyship to go with her money. He has another reason to hold the sexy blonde at arms' length—the unexplained disappearance of an old friend everyone thinks was his lover. When her body is discovered on his property, he becomes a suspect in her murder.
Trailer for Gambler's Choice
In eBook. Paperback coming soon
Linda has won several writing awards, including the Georgia Romance Writers Magnolia Award. She is the mother of two wonderful sons, a retired legal assistant, member of the Houston Symphony League, and enjoys events with her car club.

Multi-Factor Authentication Foils Cyber-thugs
We sometimes get complaints from members who are frustrated with the set-up and maintenance of security for their online account access. Here are some reasons not to loathe the security questions, site keys and other safety measures in place online:
Six federal regulators governing the financial sector have combined forces to strengthen the online security of your accounts. Together, they make up the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). The guidelines they set forth are designed to help financial institutions like PFCU make sure the individual attempting to access your accounts electronically is actually you.
The First Line of Defense
If you aren't used to strong online security, it can feel a bit like jumping through a series of virtual hoops. Keep in mind, the "hoops" are meant to be easy for you to navigate, but difficult, if not impossible, for anyone who may have tried to steal your identity to breach.
First, there is the authentication process. One or more of the following are used to authenticate you:
-Something you have (ATM/Debit Card)
-Something you know (Password, PIN, or Personal Identification Number, site key)
-Something you are (biometric device, etc.)
The more factors are included, the stronger the defense of your accounts. That is why PFCU combines several factors to protect you. We include a site key, for example, which is an image specific to you accompanied by a phrase you create, which let's you know you are at our site. If you log in and don't see your site key, escape right away, try to enter through our website and, if you still don't see it, contact us promptly.
To maximize security, the "hoops" are utilized at different points in the transaction process so that someone who may be able to overcome one obstacle may be tripped up by another. For example, after completing one transaction, it may be necessary to re-enter a PIN or answer a security question before the next transaction. The layers of security can help us identify suspicious activity. They can also limit exposure to losses should someone gain unauthorized access to one transaction. Setting up the answers to security questions and selecting a site key might seem cumbersome, but the process is much easier than filing police reports and dispute forms.

State Dept Contractor ERM Lied About TransCanada Ties, Another Fatal Flaw of Environmental ReviewRead time: 4 mins
Steve Horn | July 10, 2013
By Steve Horn • Wednesday, July 10, 2013 - 12:27
The contractor the Obama U.S. State Department hired for the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) of the northern half of TransCanada's Keystone XL (KXL) tar sands export pipeline overtly lied on its conflict-of-interest disclosure form that it signed and handed to State in June 2012.
A major research dossier unfurled today by Friends of the Earth-U.S. (FOE-U.S.) and The Checks & Balances Project (CBP) shows that Environmental Resources Management, Inc. (ERM Group) played "Pinocchio" in explaining its ties - or as they say, lack thereof - to Big Oil, tar sands and TransCanada in particular on its conflict-of-interest form.
The two groups dug deep and revealed State's contractor ERM and its subsidiary Oasis Environmental both have ongoing contractual relationships with the Alaska Gas Project - now known as the South Central LNG Project - co-owned by TransCanada, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and BP. Further, ERM's Socioeconomic Advisor Mark Jennings served as a "Consultant to ExxonMobil Development Company for the Alaska Pipeline Project, according to his now-scrubbed LinkedIn profile.
ERM's own documents - FOE-U.S. and CBP further explain - also reveal the multinational firm has business ties with over a dozen companies active in the Alberta tar sands, including Exxon, Shell, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Total and Syncrude.
On its conflict-of-interest form, ERM said it had no "direct or indirect relationship … with any business entity that could be affected in any way by the proposed work." Clearly, that's far from the case.
In March, ERM Group - a City of London-based dues-paying member of the American Petroleum Institute (API) with a history of rubber-stamping ecologically hazardous oil and gas infrastructure projects - said KXL's northern half "is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development" of the tar sands in its SEIS. Thus, it will also have little impact on climate change, according to ERM's SEIS, contracted out by TransCanada on behalf of the State Department.
FOE-U.S. says these most recent developments further call the entire SEIS into question, and that doesn't include the fact that State recently revealed it's clueless as to the exact route of the Keystone XL.

The Reserves played out their second one sided match in three weeks.
Playford took an early lead, Broadhurst was played in down the right, he played a low ball across the six yard box which Byron Tretton slid onto and converted at the back post.
Vince played a ball up to the back post from a wide right position and Broadhurst ryan scored a good header back across goal.
Fonseka, off the bench at half time, chased a long ball from Harris, his shot dipped over the keeper and into the net. Scoring with his first touch of the game.
Francis took a short corner to Broadhurst, who dribbled to the edge of the box and hit a shot hard and low that beat the keeper.
Fonseka flicked the ball on to Gareth Stretton from a throw in. Stretton fed the ball to Broadhurst on the edge of the box. Broadhurst had Godbold and Stretton available either side, outnumbering the defence allowing him the space to bury a into the bottom corner for his hatrick.
A quick free-kick by Fonseka, clipped the ball over the defence for Broadhurst. He reached it as the ball bounced and guided the ball over the keeper. This was probably the pick of the seven goals that morning.
Gareth Stretton won a header on the half way line, flicking the ball on towards Fonseka. He reached the ball and flicked it past the defence with his first touch. Broadhurst ran onto the through ball and slotted it home for his 5th and Playford's seventh.
Ryan Boadhurst's five goals broke his own record of four goals in a game, set the previous match, giving him nine goals in his last two games.

Thoughts on Socio-Technical Structures and Ethics
Posted by lindsayems
Last week, I came across an article which reported on the fact that Google regularly receives requests from the US government to remove information from the Internet and complies with their requests most of the time. In particular, they recently asked Google to remove embarrassing videos from YouTube portraying police brutality on the Occupy protesters in Oakland, California.
For a generally optimistic young media studies grad student, this news was incredibly disheartening. Actually, to a person with even a small semblance of morals, this probably should be disheartening. We have been taught to think that in our new new media world, we all have a voice and can express it through tweets, Facebook posts, blog entries, photos and videos. This report suggests that this is all just an illusion.
It also shows how closely the government and corporate media giants work together. It illustrates perfectly the trouble everyday people face when the government and those who create social reality (See Colbert on Wikiality) in today's world are in cahoots. Though, there is danger in the serious concentration of media ownership and political power in society today, the ubiquity of cameras and new media technologies and the decentered structure of the Internet, allow us to observe these abuses of power like never before.
Events like these, where the objectives of governments and corporations clash with those of freedom seekers and libertarians, offer social analysts an interesting place to focus their observations. Because of the nature of our communication tools today, sociology, I think, becomes easier. We see social structures and individual and institutional motivations more clearly fixed in various configurations of content, people, technologies and actions.
Last Friday I attended a symposium on digital ethics and policy at Loyola University Chicago where exactly this topic was explored by a number of really innovative and insightful scholars and media practitioners. Leading the charge was opening keynote speaker, New York Times best-selling author and game designer, Jane McGonigal. In her presentation, she suggested that games should empower their players. She described her game Evoke which gave its players, who were mostly, young people in South Africa, an opportunity to make positive changes in their (mostly offline) communities as well as build a professional portfolio (resume) for themselves while they're competing and having fun playing a game. Many of the players started businesses as a result of their involvement in the game. Her talk, along with others I heard there, restored some of my hope in the state of our socio-technical world.
Another really thought-provoking speaker, Julian Dibbell described two general socio-technical structures: one authoritarian (imagine Facebook where a designer like Mark Zuckerberg sends down software and rules of engagement to users from on high) the other federalist (the users each own their own part of the structure and make their own rules). His argument was that the concentration of power in authoritarian structures is problematic because a certain ideology and moral (or lack thereof) considerations are forced onto the users. In an egalitarian system, each user is in control of his or her own portion of the system. This is generally, a very humanist proposal. However, because many people do not have the skills, know-how and/or motivation to maintain their part of the system, in many cases this solution has pitfalls too. Dibbell's lecture really made me think though and ultimately, it occurred to me that there might be a socio-economic lesson to take from his enthusiasm for the egalitarian, federalist approach. It seems to me that it is very useful to identify these two kinds of structures but that solutions to many complex socio-technial issues require a layering of these two approaches.
Though this is certainly a multi-faceted problem, let's take the current jobs and economic crisis as an example. The creation of more jobs might occur if government were to help decenter certain areas of industry like energy production (solar, wind, etc.) and farming (local growers & markets). Though, it would take a strong central government to make these decisions and put these ideas into effect, it would I think make better economic and humanitarian sense. This solution is obviously a complicated and a multi-layered one. We can't think in terms of one kind of structure being better than another. Both may be necessary to achieve the changes our society needs.
What is clear in these examples, is that the individual morals and ethics of powerful individuals are at the heart of making decisions like these. Today more than ever one's individual ethics and morals are visible for the world to see, though they have always driven such social and institutional decisions. Perhaps, it was naïve of me to be disheartened when I learned that the government censors the Internet. Perhaps it's even more naïve of me to have hope that those in power aim to improve lives other than their own. But in some sense I do and I hope they will- whether by force due to the ubiquitous and open nature of media today or just because it's the right thing to do.
Billionaire Steve Jobs, an Inspiration to the Occupy Wall Street Campaign?
Posted by lindsayems
Note: This is a post I originally wrote for socialinformaticsblog.com on October 12, 2011.
A week ago we lost a leader in the field of social informatics. Though Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs was not a scholar, he was keenly aware of how important people, their desires and mental frameworks were to the design of computer technologies. In the design process he consistently resisted collaborators who designed with code and machinery in mind instead of actual, human users. Like most social informaticians, he called for design principles to reflect culture and make communication, work and entertainment more efficient, intuitive and beautiful.
His passing happened at an interesting economic and cultural moment as so many people today are out of work (some might even argue that this is due to the success of technology developers like Apple and Steve Jobs) and political tensions have never been higher. A growing number of activists who lament the US government's apathy toward wealthy corporate entities has emerged also in recent weeks. In just under four weeks, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) campaign has quickly spread all over the country and has observers around the world taking note.
In the OWS protesters' mission statement, they say, we organize "at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments." Their efforts are to express animosity toward corporate greed and the US government's apathy toward this greed. Furthermore, they feel the government should be more active in correcting this problem. Namely, they call for the taxing of the richest one percent of the population so that the other ninety-nine percent might face less financial uncertainty.
It occurs to me that the passing of Steve Jobs and the emergence of the OWS campaign intersect in an interesting way. Jobs, worth about 7 billion dollars, was undoubtedly in the one percent of people the protesters are asking the government to tax. In spite of this, many groups of protesters took time away from the protests to mourn his passing. A tweet from Twitter account @OPWallStreet on the night of his death said, "Sad to announce the death of Steve Jobs."
While some may see this as an inconsistency in the message of the OWS, perhaps noting the genealogy of certain core values of the OWS campaign will help illuminate why OWS protesters, and so many others, feel a sense of grief at Jobs' passing. Jobs was not just an innovator of technical artifacts. In many ways he also created new ways for communication to occur, new ways for entertainment to happen, new ways to work, to travel, to fall in love, etc.
One can easily trace the ideology and socio-technical structure that the OWS relies upon to share information and establish their movement back to innovators like Steve Jobs. First, Jobs is a product of the sixties. He was a flower child and hung out with anti-war protesters and activists while he was beginning to develop his desire to work with computers. This influence impacted the design of Apple technologies and made past and present underdogs fall in love with him. In the world of conservative tech companies, Jobs was almost always on the lunatic fringe. He fought for the things his artistic, and humanistic intuition told him were right. OWS protesters see themselves in Jobs' shoes: They are fighting against the status quo in an effort to put the human back in the center of the system's design.
Second, Jobs developed technologies that were networked. His masterpieces the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, etc. are windows into the social world. Social informaticians know that these technologies bear a certain internal structure which predetermines a certain kind of use, requires certain skills, etc. The structure of a computer network is at the heart of both the OWS campaign and Jobs' most influential Apple technologies. As information is exchanged, the OWS campaign is replicated across the country. It's copied and pasted. A new instance emerges in a new location because people have seen pictures of others, read stories, watch videos and are inspired by others through their iPhones & iPads. The OWS information structure, which is the heart of the movement, is itself an instance of the computer network Steve Jobs envisioned in the design of his most influential Apple technologies.
The protesters aim to upset the government's apathy. They, like Jobs, suggest that the system should reflect today's socio-technical culture and empower users by giving them more tools to make life easier and more beautiful.

After recently attending Mahi Tika 2 - an employment relations course facilitated by the PPTA (see my reflection here), I was encouraged to attend the annual PPTA conference. The conference was based in Wellington, so I was fortunate to be flown down there for three days to learn about what's happening within the union, and to network. These are the major things I was left thinking about, after an intriguing experience, completely throwing myself in the deep end!
One of the most contentious papers discussed was a salary increase for teachers. It is well known we have a considerable workload, and compared to other professions aren't paid particularly well. Teachers are often heard saying they do it for the love of the job and the kids - but at the end of the day we still need to pay the bills! So I was really interested listening to the discussion about salary increase on the conference floor. Because, as Sam Oldman (South Auckland teacher) highlighted "many [teachers are] being pushed out of teaching by workload, stress and low pay" in his recent article discussing what life is like in a low decile community. I really liked this article as I could relate so much of his story, to my own experiences at Tamaki College.
The paper I backed most, was the diversity paper - supporting schools to be safe places for students, staff and whānau from minority gender and sexuality groups. Acceptance and ongoing support of LGBTQI is incredibly important, as are all minority/diverse groups, to ensure feelings of safety within the school environment. Upon reflection, I feel there are staff within our school who want to be supportive of minority gender and sexuality groups, but are unsure how. I think some uncertainty may be because of a lack of understanding/education. Therefore, I would like to work with the other Health teacher, to possibly create a presentation for the staff about the gender and sexuality spectrums, and as a result the staff may be have greater knowledge of how to be supportive. Or, we could request a full staff session from Rainbow Taskforce or Rainbow Youth, which would also likely support our Health programme. It was timely having this discussion when RY released this incredible ad this week (a discussion which I regularly have with students!)...
One of our guest speakers, Dr Mere Berryman (University of Waikato). My key takeaways from her presentation were;
- The NZ Education system is of high quality and of low equity
- Kia Eke Panuku schools have greater academic success for both Māori and non-Māori students when compared to non-Kia Eke Panuku schools, and
- Poutama Pounamu is dedicated to reducing the challenges faced by Māori, in hope to increase success within schools - their research and website also provide resources to support other educators
- The alongside visual represent the 'ako critical contexts for change', which bring to light the parts which interweave within teaching and learning
After Mere's presentation I really liked Mere's closing whakatauki/proverb:
"Ma te huruhuru, ka rere te manu,
It is the feathers that enable the bird to fly."I was really left thinking about all of the feathers this could be referring to, and thought these words were powerful. I am now wanting to have a weekly whakatauki with my 2018 tutor class, as something to refer back to throughout the week with the students!
Overall, I really enjoyed the conference, learning a lot and making new connections. I am looking forward to further opportunities within the union, and definitely the 2018 conference!

Where you can listen and discover great independent soul rnb music,latest films,rnb music videos, sweet soul music,new rnb music
black celebrity gossip, latest music releases,s,black actors, free download music, music websites top ten rnb albums
I must admit that one of the things that had bothered me about soul music in the UK is the clear lack of networking across the board .I believe I have touched on this matter previously you see I look across the pound and I see constantly other artist appearing on other artist songs like clockwork. Yet here we never truly took that onboard and how that worked for the individual artist musician. Until the BRITISH SOUL COLLECTIVE got together mad e up of LEE JOHN (IMAGAINATION) OMAR (GOD FATHER OF NEO SOUL in my eyes anyway) JUNIOR (mama use to say fame) NOEL McKOY & DON-E All of these artist on one album for me it a was s pleasure to sit and listen to this set.
For me the killer tune featured here is Love me to night and any lovers rock fans will surely remember that tune well these guys have flipped the script on that and given it a delicious groove that stamps a collective vibe all over it .Although my health has not been great these days this album truly helped brighten up my day. Another song that just keeps me hitting that repeat button Piece of Heaven now I will admit it took some time to listen to this album I look to salivate when I'm listening but honestly I played this tune close to 10 times before moving on. Another song that is another clear highlight is Stay and again they stamp that collective vibe all the way through this with a great bass line. Take your you time has great harmonies and production wise tight. Hats why for me was one of those songs I which I had taken on holiday with me cause this again had plenty of replays (total ocd people).Pa Pa has that Moma use to say vibe running through it and I like it!!.I can say with a certainty the other songs are truly worth the listen as the collective give a lesson in soul music mix not only their own styles but managing to create a new vibe and at the same time educate the audience that dare to listens to their vibe. In all there are 14 tracks that will not disappoint and should be in your collection this year. BRITISH SOUL COLLECTIVE vol 1 The Renaissance does what it says on the box and in doing so has rejuvenated all of the guys and enhance soul music here in the UK .
If I'm honest I wished more Uk artist would wake up and this type of connection like these fellas have done and stop playing the HAN SOLO mission teaming up helps the writer in you the producer in you and gets you places you might not have thought of. For the Djs and the websites/promoters support the music first and not your own brand connect with one another and stop the needless competition. This does not help push real Reggae/ soul music/ Rnb /and Jazz up rather its strangling it MUSIC first brand second.

Star Wars #28
Star Wars #28
Writer: Jason Aaron
Artist: Salvador Larroca
Colorist: Edgar Delgado
Letterer: Clayton Cowles
Cover Artist: Stuart Immonen
Star Wars #28 dives into the heart of the mountain as Yoda learns the ways of the stonepower. Along the way, he deals with his reluctant companion, a new tribe, and a new teacher. Aside from that, there's a short break to Obi-Wan's exile on Tatooine and Luke's reading in the present. It's an interesting issue.
In some ways, the more we learn of the planet and the people that Yoda is interacting with, the less sense any of them make. There are magic rocks and a war being waged between those who dwell in the shadow of the mountain and those who are slowly dying elsewhere. Yoda meets a third tribe in this issue that lives inside the mountain. It is there that he finds the parents. Oddly enough, they live in peace. But Yoda takes them to task for not raising their kids correctly and for abandoning them to wage war against each other outside. It's doesn't make a lot of sense as the story doesn't make it clear why the parents were sent into the mountain, why the kids would take up the war, and why the parents never returned.
Adding to this mystery is the magic rocks and the mountain. Yoda has been struggling to learn how to manipulate the rocks, or at least how to use the Force on them. As he travels deeper into the mountain, he finds someone who can teach him the tricks that have been eluding him. Yet these teachings lead him to a new mystery, and perhaps an answer. Quite simply, Yoda finds the literal heart of the mountain. Apparently the rocks really are alive. I'm not sure how that works or what that means with what's going on in the world and the various tribes, but hopefully we'll learn those secrets in the upcoming issues.
The artwork is pretty good in Star Wars #28. The panels do a good job of telling the story, transitioning from scene to scene, and providing some interesting imagery. With most of the story taking place inside the mountain, there were certainly some challenges for the artists, but they did pretty good. With the interlude in the middle breaking off to Tatooine for a glimpse of Obi-Wan, and a quick glimpse of Luke, it helps break things up. From a storytelling perspective, it also helps keep the larger story on track.
Overall, this issue was enjoyable. The artwork and the storytelling is good, and it continues to push forward a story very different from most of everything else Marvel has been doing. It's not really a safe story, and for that, I give them props. I also give this one a four out of five metal bikinis.

Auburn Hills Information
Although it used to be a high crime city, downtown Detroit has been undergoing a revitalization and has been transformed into a lively, bustling area. Many of the old buildings have been cleaned and restored and are now designated as heritage buildings, including the Motown Museum.
Even the Detroit River has been proclaimed a heritage river because it played a major role for slaves who escaped to freedom in Canada. The riverfront has a nice walking trail and is home to parties and celebrations including the Ethnic Festival held every summer.
The People Mover rapid transit system whisks people along the waterfront and into Greektown which is home to lots of shops, restaurants and yummy Greek bakeries as well as a large, modern casino. Two of my favorite restaurants here are Fishbones Rhythm Kitchen Cafe and Pizza Papolis.
On a sunny day, many people head for the quiet of Belle Isle park where they can walk, jog, bicycle or just catch a few rays.
Like all big cities, there are still areas where I wouldn't wander by myself at night but overall, Detroit can be a fun place to spend a few days sightseeing.

Our Dedicated Centers
Syngene's unique business model allows it to offer its services tailor made to its client's requirements. Starting with a single service (component play), our client engagement gradually expands to a set of services (cluster play) and eventually into an integrated play where we engage across multiple platforms, including setting up dedicated centres.
The dedicated centres involves long term strategic collaborations, usually five years or longer, and as part of these longterm collaborations, we set up a dedicated, customised and ring-fenced infrastructure in line with our client's requirements. These dedicated centres are generally multi-disciplinary, FTE-based engagements which support the R&D requirements of our clients.
Biocon Bristol-Myers Squibb Research & Development Center (BBRC)
Syngene has been closely associated with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) since 1998. In 2007, Syngene set up BBRC, a dedicated research facility for BMS to develop integrated capabilities in medicinal and process chemistry, biology, biotechnology, biomarkers, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, analytical research, and pharmaceutical development. Since its inception, BBRC has produced six drug candidates for further studies and has also helped BMS reduce the time and costs associated with advancing new compounds to first-in-human studies. One drug candidate currently in clinical trials was discovered at BBRC and early nonclinical development work done at BBRC has enabled most of BMS's small molecule assets to advance to later stages of development over the last five years. This facility is the largest research and development centre outside the United States for BMS, housing more than 475 scientists.
Baxter Global Research Center (BGRC)
Syngene and Baxter International Inc., a leading global pharmaceutical company, have collaborated to establish the Baxter Global Research Center (BGRC) at Syngene's Bangalore premise. This dedicated Centre, supports Baxter in the Research and Development of medical products and devices to serve patients both in India and around the world. A team of over 142 multidisciplinary Syngene scientists work closely with Baxter scientists in a wide range of R&D activities centered on product and analytical development and pre-clinical evaluation in parenteral nutrition and renal therapy. The scale and scope of activities signal the strategic nature of the collaboration and also reflect Syngene's capabilities to offer broad based complementary integrated development services.
Syngene Amgen Research and Development Center (SARC)
Syngene Amgen Research and Development Center (SARC) is a dedicated multi-disciplinary drug discovery and development center set up for Amgen Inc. in Bengaluru. SARC has been customized to Amgen's requirements and complies with highest regulatory standards. It is configured to minimize solvent and effluent waste with a strong emphasis on laboratory safety and "green" chemistry. Initially setup with a lab space of 25,000 sq. ft and a team of around 100 scientists, it was subsequently expanded to 50,000 sq. ft. lab space and a team of around 185 scientists. This scientific team works closely with Amgen's global R&D team on various biotechnology and small molecule projects spanning capabilities in medicinal and process chemistry, biologics, bioprocess, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, bioanalytical research and pharmaceutical development.
Herbalife Nutrition R&D Center (HNRD)
Herbalife Nutrition R&D Center is a dedicated R&D centre exclusively set up for Herbalife. This is Syngene's 4th dedicated centre and Herbalife's first nutrition research and development centre in India. A group of scientists from Syngene will work in close association with Herbalife technical teams on various research and development projects including product development, sensory evaluation and testing, scientific content writing pertaining to nutritional products and supplements, project management, formulation development, analytical service, stability study and other related services to deliver world-class nutrition products for Herbalife India. The facility houses a separate Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) formulation lab to support product testing, sampling and end-product development.

Get stunning skin for your wedding day
All brides want to be at their most radiant and beautiful.
But with lots of planning and the inevitable last minute rush in the run-up to the day, those vital eight hours of sleep aren't always guaranteed for brides-to-be.
And you definitely don't want dark circles and pesky blemishes that are the tell-tale signs of tiredness.
Dedicate the same time and care to your skin preparations as your wedding preparations and both will be hassle-free and flawless.
Try our six step plan for radiant skin for your wedding day and beyond.
1. Stick to a healthy eating plan. A busy schedule means you are more likely to rely on sugary or processed foods to keep you fuelled. Replace these with fruit and vegetables before the big day.
2. Drink plenty of water. Hydrate your skin from the inside and flush out nasty toxins. The recommended daily intake is between two and two and a half litres.
3. Relax! It seems obvious but you wouldn't be the first bride to get wound up and stressed out with preparations. Take breaks from your busy schedule for a relaxing bath or treat yourself to a massage.
4. To achieve clear and glowing skin, exfoliating is a must. Give your pores a chance to breathe by removing dead cells and surface impurities.
5. Generously apply a good body moisturizer. Nourish your skin twice daily and you'll see elasticity improve. Pay special attention to tricky spots that are prone to dryness such as elbows, feet and hands.
6. Give your face extra special attention. The three essential basics are a cleanser, toner and facial moisturizer. Opt for one that contains collagen to give added definition and that all-important bridal glow.

This is my first review of a cleaning/maid company. I was really surprised at how efficient the workers were. Three ladies arrived and all three were really great. They worked hard and above all they were fast. I will definitely use again.Michelle, Hyattsville,
Highly recommended! The ladies were great. I already made another appointment for next month.Sylvia, Germantown, MD,
I desperately needed maids to come to my home. I have a regular cleaning company, but no on showed. Since I had a party the following day I was livid. I called Jiffy Maids and they arrived in two hours. They're even better than the company I used before. I promptly switched.Susan, Washington, DC,
I never knew my home could look this great. Many thanks!Xena, Washington, DC,
