Two Levels of Care
Summerset provides two basic entry Levels of Care in its Assisted Living Program in Atlanta. These levels are: Helping Hands and Tender Loving Care.
Summerset provides two basic entry Levels of Care in its Assisted Living Program in Atlanta. These levels are: Helping Hands and Tender Loving Care.
The Summerset Helping Hands Program is an assisted living service for residents who have minimal need of assistance requiring up to two ADLs.
The Summerset Tender Loving Care Program is an assisted living service designed to accommodate residents who need a bit more assistance, requiring three to four ADLs.
Summerset is founded on the principal of providing the type of care that residents expect to find within the warmth of a family like setting. Because we feel that Summerset is truly a "home away from home," we call our special brand of care Family Style Care. It is a place where residents, guests, and staff are respected and their dignity honored.
Each staff member works together to make every day at Summerset safe, healthy, happy, and filled with meaningful experiences. Our dedicated employees are the reason we truly believe Summerset provides the best assisted living Atlanta has to offer.
Assisted Living is a service provided within a residential "home-like setting" that allows residents to experience an uplifting lifestyle while obtaining assistance with various activities during their normal daily routines. Assisted living provides help with Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Several of these ADL's are: dressing, grooming, bathing, taking medicine, dining, and ambulating. Our caring staff and state-of-the-art facilities are why Summerset ranks among the top senior living communities in Georgia.
Each level of care offered by our various assisted living programs at Summerset meets or exceeds the basic comforts of living stipulated by the Department of Human Resources Personal Care Division. Exceeding requirements is natural for Summerset, because one of our missions is to help our residents feel as comfortable as possible while they enjoy the amenities of this warm community.
Each resident suite includes a private and "user-friendly" bath, closet, and a kitchenette featuring a microwave oven, sink, refrigerator and storage cabinets. Fantastic views of our beautifully landscaped courtyard with walkways, benches, birdhouses, a fountain and a goldfish pond can be enjoyed from several suites and common areas.
Every assisted living suite in our Atlanta community is equipped with a state-of-the-art Emergency Alert Call and Voice-To-Voice Communication System. Our beautifully appointed dining room overlooks the courtyard and is the center of attention when residents gather for their meals, which are provided three times a day. These amenities are why Summerset is ranked among Atlanta's top senior living communities.
The varied family and activity spaces are strategically located, noticeably roomy and very well appointed. Residents will absolutely enjoy the Clubroom, Sunroom, Library, Chapel, and Wellness Center. This atmosphere has set the scene for Summerset's Wellness and Activities Programs.
Friendship, fun activities and entertainment tailored to the interests of our residents and guests.
Two levels of service, providing assistance and attentive care for our residents who suffer from memory impairments, such as Alzheimer's.
A special program designed for those who need assistance and recovery for a shorter amount of time.

The Symbolic Order Of The Malfunctioning Mechanoid
Since the first humanoid robot graced the silver screen in Metropolis (1927). The mechanoid as a psychotic, malfunctioning icon was born. The ideology that a mechanical construct may function outside of its symbolic order & evolve into a new entity is one that has been replicated in film & literature ever since. But is this phenomena plausible or merely confined to the realms of Science Fiction?Learn More

From the Collection of Jerry Robinson,Two Iconic Golden Age Covers for the First Time at Auction!
Click here to bid on the Superman #14 cover!
Click here to bid on the Detective Comics #69 cover!
On November 10th at 12 PM Eastern, bidding will open for Fred Ray's famous "Patriotic Shield" cover to Superman #14 (Jan/Feb 1942), and Jerry Robinson's "Double Guns" Joker cover to Detective Comics #69 (Nov 1942).
"The cover to Superman #14 is arguably THE most important piece of surviving original comic art in existence, and the cover to Detective #69 is just 'mind-blowingly' rare and historic," stated Rob Reynolds, Director of Consignments at ComicConnect.com. "When compared to something like a Jackson Pollock, and thought of in the context of cultural relevance and desirability – one can easily understand why both these pieces are already garnering attention and interest from the fine art world."
In 1942, the first waves of American superheroes were clearly at the height of their considerable powers. No two superheroes stood taller than Superman and Batman. Rarely is one able to gaze upon pieces of art that so perfectly captures a moment in time. A moment in time made up of one part innocence, one part patriotism and one part pure fantasy escapism. Such were the early 1940s.
The owner and consignor of the two covers is Jerry Robinson, Batman artist and creator of the Joker. Mr. Robinson has been a creative force in American comics for eight decades. He is a talent that understood early on the impact comics could have on American culture, and understood that original comic art should be saved and treasured. Jerry Robinson assembled and preserved for seventy years one of the greatest collections of comic art, and this collection has never been offered to the public until now.
These two pieces are among the finest original covers from Jerry Robinson's collection, and are available for sale in ComicConnect.com's November / December 2010 Event Auction with no buyer's premiums.
ComicConnect.com will offer a 6 Month Interest-Free Time Payment Plan on both auction lots. Interested parties should contact them for details.
Superman #14 is the most important and the most iconic Superman cover artwork in existence. No question there. Known as the patriotic shield cover, this image has been reprinted time and time again. To quote Geoff Boucher of the LA Times, "If I could have any piece for my own home, I'd pick Ray's Superman 14 or Robinson's brilliant Detective 69."
Detective Comics #69 is simply mind-boggling. Known as the double-guns Joker cover, it is one of the greatest Golden Age superhero covers of all time. Tales of THE great comic covers being thrown out by DC are the stuff of legend. Thankfully, this brilliantly designed cover by Jerry Robinson is still alive & well, and ready to find a new home. The Joker is the first and greatest supervillain in comics, and voted among the best villains in all literature.

About Jerry Robinson
While a journalism student at Columbia University, Jerry Robinson began his cartooning career in 1939 at age seventeen on Batman for which he created the Joker, comics' first supervillain. He named Batman's protégé, Robin, designed his costume and helped develop other characters including the Penguin, Two-Face and Alfred. Robinson is Editorial Director of CartoonArts International and Cartoonists & Writers Syndicate that syndicates and exhibits the work of 350 leading cartoonists and graphic artists from fifty countries.
Among Robinson's thirty published works is The Comics: An Illustrated History of Comic Strip Art (Putnam), acclaimed as the definitive study of the genre; the biography, Skippy and Percy Crosby (Holt); and The 1970s: Best Political Cartoons of the Decade (McGraw Hill). Three new books will be published in 2010: An updated edition of The Comics and a two volume set of his 1950s sci-fi strip, Jet Scott (Dark Horse); and a biography, Jerry Robinson: Ambassador to the Comics (Abrams).
His award-winning features of social/political satire, Still Life and Life With Robinson, were syndicated daily for thirty-two years. Robinson's drawings appeared regularly in Playbill, the Broadway theatre magazine. He is the co-art director of the hour-long animation, Stereotypes, filmed at Soyuzmult Studios, Moscow, and co-author of the musical Astra: A Comic Book Opera that opened in Washington, DC in 2006. A graphic novel adaptation of Astra was published in Japan and the U.S.
Robinson served as President of both the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists and the National Cartoonists Society. He has traveled to over forty countries, served on international art juries, and on tours of Europe, North Africa, Japan and Korea entertaining servicemen. Robinson produced major exhibitions for the United Nations [n Rio de Janeiro, Vienna , Cairo and New York; and the first in-depth exhibition of the genre, The Superhero:The Golden Age of Comic Books 1939 –1950 at the Breman Museum, Atlanta, now on tour.
Robinson represented Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, creators of Superman, in their struggle to obtain financial security and restore their creator credits and obtained the release of jailed and tortured cartoonists in Uruguay and the Soviet Union. For eighteen years Robinson was on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts, The New School and Parsons School of Design. An exhibition of his color photography was held at the SVA Galleries. In 2000 Scriptorium Films produced a ninety-minute television documentary on Robinson's career for Brazilian TV.
Robinson received the National Cartoonists Society Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award and the San Diego Comic-Con Eisner Hall of Fame.

Greensleeves Reissues Capital Letters' 1982 album 'Vinyard'
|Home › Entertainment News
|Written by Admin
The legendary UK roots reggae band Capital Letters is happy to announce the reissue of their 1982 album Vinyard, available May 25, 2015 on Greensleeves Records. The deluxe reissue features new artwork with extensive liner notes as well as seven previously unreleased bonus tracks.
Vinyard is the follow up album to their 1979 debut album Headline News and captures the sound of the golden age of UK reggae. In anticipation of the release, the band has reunited and is currently rehearsing for shows to support the album release in the UK.
There are only ten tracks on Vinyard, but every one of them counts. On "Bagga Wolf" they accuse politicians of "robbing from the poor and giving to the rich" and then indulge in wry humor by opening "No Jobs" with a snippet from the "Funeral March." This song continues where "Unemployment," from their debut album, left off and it cuts across all racial divides. Black-on-black violence is the subject of songs like "Murdering Style" and "How Far." The band then ask why people have to "fuss and fight over Jahoviah" on "Africa Bound," as they pinpoint another source of division within the black community. This insistence on speaking the truth has long been a major hallmark of their work. "Fi Wi Parents," which is one of the strongest tracks on Vinyard, even chastises certain older folks for putting money before spiritual or political concerns, instead of leading the youths by example.
As far as the seven bonus tracks, four of them are previously unreleased outtakes from their debut album Headline News and the remaining three are from a live studio session with the influential BBC Radio One John Peel recorded on January 16th 1979. The mesmeric songs resulting from that session are the standout track "Smokin' My Ganja" and "Fire" (both off Headline News) as well as the never-before-released "Rasta Seh."
CAPITAL LETTERS Outside of the Caribbean, England was one of the first places to embrace roots reggae in the early 1970s when acts like Bob Marley and Burning Spear were leading the pack. Wolverhampton's Capital Letters were among the wave of talented reggae bands to emerge from Britain during the mid to late seventies that absorbed the sounds of Jamaica and created their own unique strain of roots reggae music that articulated the black British experience like never before. A majority of them had Caribbean parents, or had spent part of their childhood there before moving to Britain. Their music was grounded in honesty, which is why their songs remain so relevant almost forty years later. The had a successful run with their breakthrough single "Smoking My Ganja" and signed a deal with Greensleeves Records shortly after to release several albums.

Going back-to-school is an exciting and challenging time for kids. They can make new friends, adjust to new teachers, and get back to a more structured lifestyle. It can also be a time of testing for their faith. This free Bible lesson will help children find strength in Christ when challenges arise. This teaching plan deals with issues such as temptation and resisting Satan's lies.

Bible Lesson: The Armor of God
Well, kids – it's here, the start of school! Some of you are already in school (raise your hand if that's you), some of you are just about to start (raise your hand if that's you) and some of you are waiting another year before starting school.
One thing many people do to get ready for school is go school shopping. I love back-to-school shopping so much, I did a little myself. I got some glue (show glue), crayons (show), and some books for my daughter (show). Of course, that was just for fun. You probably needed all the things that you go while back to school shopping.
Well, I've been thinking… there's something everyone in this room needs for school that you probably haven't even thought about. You need it (point to a child), you need it, and you need. Everyone needs it!
What is it? It's the armor of God. Now, don't sweat it if you've never heard of the armor of God. That's what we'll be talking about tonight! If you've brought your Bible with you, you'll find the armor of God in Ephesians 6, and that's what we'll be reading from tonight (pause to let kids find it in their Bibles).
Okay, we'll be starting in verse ten. Would someone like to read that? (Allow child to read) Hey, that sounds like a song we sang tonight, huh? So, God wants us to be strong, and He tells us how to do it too! In the very next verse, verse 11, the Bible tells us to put on the full armor of God so that we can stand against the devil's tricks.
Bucket of Trouble
Now, you may be wondering what kind of things the devil might try to trick you into doing. To help us out, we've got this bucket of tricks… (put inside the bucket common struggles for kids such as: Not doing homework correctly, leaving someone out, talking bad about someone, not listening to a teacher, being selfish with your stuff, not helping others, making fun of others, etc). I'm going to pull a few out and I want you to think about if this thing is something maybe the devil tried to trick YOU into doing. (Pull out a few and read, pause to allow kids to think)
So, there are all kinds of tricks we need to be prepared to fight against. That's why we need God's armor! Let's keep reading for more instructions. Verse twelve tells us our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces.
Have you guys ever seen one of those cartoons with a little angel on one shoulder and a little devil on the other? No?
Suggested Video Clip
If possible, play the following YouTube clip for the children from the Disney film "The Emperor's New Groove." If you don't have the technology, you could arrange a similar skit where children act a scene like this.
What was going on here? (Allow kids to respond). That's kind of like how things go with us too… we want to make good choices, but something we struggle. It's hard to always do the right thing. The devil wants us to do the wrong thing. That's what the Bible is talking about in these verses – the devil tries to trick us, but God has given us a plan of attack.
Putting on the Armor
We've got to get ready for battle!
Now, if my assistant could come up (have adult leader or kid come to help), we'll get this armor on!
Let's check out verse 14 – can someone read it for me?
So, we start with the belt of truth – hand belt to assistant (you can try to be realistic or give them a crazy belt to wear). In order to fight the devil, we've got to know the truth. Where can we find the truth? (Kids respond). That's right, in the Bible! (Hold up your Bible) So, all you have to do is carry this around, maybe stick it in your book bag, maybe stuff it under your pillow and you'll be all set, right? NO! You've got to READ it to know the truth. Maybe read one verse or one chapter a day… read it by yourself or with your parents… read it at breakfast or dinner, or at bedtime – whatever you choose, the important thing is that you (help me out kids): READ IT!
Okay, now the breastplate of righteousness (stick on volunteer). Who can tell me what righteousness is? Doing the RIGHT thing. Sometimes it's hard to know what the right thing is. What do you think we can do if that happens? (Read the Bible, ask our parents, ask a teacher, pray about it, ask the pastor).
You've got to have something on your feet. In verse fifteen, it says to have feet shod (put some shoes on) with the readiness that comes with the gospel of peace. Now, this was a little confusing to me – so I took out my cool Bible tool, the commentary and read what it said about this verse.
(Read from NIV Application Commentary) It says:
- Willingness to share the gospel
- It also means a readiness for all of life, being careful about speech and actions
- Also, showing peace and love to others
Well, it wouldn't be complete armor with a shield – verse sixteen says to take up the shield of faith so we can fight off Satan's attacks. Now, back in the day – those shields were huge! My Bible commentary says about 4 feet by 2 ½ feet (try to show kids dimensions). And many times soldiers would line up next to each other and put their shields really close so nothing could get by. When they did this, they could push right over the enemy and not get hurt. We can learn something from that kids!
Sometimes we need more than just ourselves to fight against the devil. That's why it's important to choose good friends that will stand and fight with you. Friends who are also trying to do the right thing.
Our suit of armor is almost complete. Let's take a look at what we've got so far.
- First, we've got the belt of _________________ (truth). Right! And where do we find truth?
- Next, we've got the breastplate of __________________ (righteousness). Very good. What does righteousness mean?
- Okay, here our feet are fitted with ___________ (readiness).
- We're holding the shield of ___________________ (faith). And who do we have faith in? (God) It is our relationship with God, our faith, that protects us from evil attacks.
Our last two pieces are the helmet of salvation (put helmet on volunteer) and the sword of the Spirit (give sword to volunteer) and both are very important!
Our heads are pretty important, that's why you have to wear a helmet for so many things. Riding a bike? You need a helmet! Skateboarding? Same thing! Playing football? Strap that helmet on! What are some other things we need helmets for? (Allow kids to respond). We wear helmets for all these things because our heads need protected! Our brain is pretty important! Likewise, salvation is our ultimate source of protection. When we are saved, we are a child of God, and we are able to see the tricks of Satan better.
I'm reminded of a movie… in the movie, one of the characters can control other people's minds. He can read their thoughts and even make them do things. However, another one of the characters – Magneto, makes a helmet to protect his mind. Whenever he had the helmet on, the professor couldn't read his thoughts. The helmet of salvation is like that. When we are saved, friends with God, Satan has a much harder time making us do bad things.
Last, we've got the sword of the Spirit, which the Bible tells us is the Word of God. We can fight Satan with the Word of God, the Bible! That's why it's important to memorize Scripture. When Satan tries to tell us to start a rumor about someone we don't like, we can think of the verse that says, "Love your Enemies". When Satan tries to tell us to blow off our homework and not do a good job, we can think of the verse that says "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus…" (Col 3:12). And if you can't think of a verse, what Cool bible tool can you use? (Concordance)
I want us to read the last verse of this passage too, to finish out. Can someone read verse 18 for me? What does it command us to do? Pray! So, let's head to prayer circle and do just that!

Access to water and sanitation for all is Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goal's
The SDG's bring a renewed commitment to achieving universal access to safe water and sanitation by 2030. Universal access means everyone, everywhere. The SDG' call for special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations.
Access to safe water and sanitation are fundamental human rights, ratified by the United Nations in 2010. This requires the principles of non-discrimintion and equality in access to water and sanitation programs and policies at all levels.
Poverty and social exclusion are closely linked and can lead to experiences of discrimination and stigma. People may be excluded from WASH efforts due to individual inequalities such as gender, ethnicity and disability; group-related inequalities such as caste or religion or geographic inequalities such as living in informal settlements or in remote/rural places.

last song
"I want everyone to meet the band." So she started making introductions. She was gushing about her rocking husband. Her amazing little brother and the best friend in the world, Roger. She sounded like some MC from the circus in her double breasted red coat.
Honestly, Elliot felt his neck breaking. When would she shut up? When would Derrick stop playing that damn guitar? Elliot's throat was parched. Possibly a bad sore throat. It was so hard to tell, anymore. Sweat poured down his back. So that's how he kept so skinny. It was taking so much out of him just to stand up. Just a few more minutes, he kept thinking. A few more minutes. If Derrick had to play a damn Van Halen tune, he could do it all by himself.
Finally, when he was done, a good 45 minutes later, it was quiet. Elliot felt as if he didn't know what to do with himself now. As if they were going to send him off in a space ship now where there was no sound.
Naturally, Amanda went right away to pick Rosie up, in her arms, and Kyle was there ready to load up the gear in the bus.
"You gonna sleep in the bus tonight?" Kyle grinned.
"Hell no." Elliot said to loud.
Kyle gave him a pat on the back. "You really showed us, you know that." Kyle told him.
"Showed you what?" Elliot smiled with a wince.
"That you can rock this joint." Kyle nodded.
"Oh that." Elliot sighed. Maybe it was a yawn.
"You know, I kind missed you." Kyle grinned more.
"Yeah, and you're shit'n me, and I know it." Elliot felt like laughing, but it hurt to even laugh.
"No, I'm not." Kyle gave him a serious look then as he shoved his hands in his jeans. "You're really good for Amanda, and I think she's pretty good for you, too."
Suddenly, Elliot felt like crying, but Kyle gave him a hug. They were a bit like family. They always would be.

Caesar Rides Out; New "DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES" PosterNews Samuel Zimmerman
For many, the most exciting prospect of the upcoming DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is less the fact that this 45+ year-old series is continuing (and is good, at that) and more "Apes on Horses." And that's what we've got here. Triumphant, machine gun-wielding, horse-riding, humanity-thrashing primates.
Directed by Matt Reeves, DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES stars Andy Serkis, Keri Russell, Jason Clarke and Gary Oldman. The film finds "a growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species."
I imagine you saw the boss new poster above. DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is out July 11. [IGN]

CANTON, N.Y. - Behind three goals from three different players and a strong 22-save effort from goalie Dan Meyers, the UMass hockey team knocked off No. 12 St. Lawrence 3-1 on Saturday at Appleton Arena. The victory for UMass marked the first time the road team earned a win in the series. Alex Berry, Brian Keane and Chris Davis each scored goals. Meyers posted his second-best game in net as a Minuteman. UMass will open its home schedule next weekend against UMass Lowell on Friday and Connecticut on Saturday.
UMass (1-1-0) came out strong in the first period, outshooting the Saints 10-to-3. Despite the advantage, each team tallied goals as Berry found an opening 17 minutes, 12 seconds into the frame. The lead didn't last for long as SLU (2-1-0) answered just 22 seconds later on a Casey Parenteau score.
Keane scored what served as the game-winner for his first career goal as a Minuteman in the second period. Cory Quirk skated into the offensive zone down the right side before finding Keane who beat SLU goalie Kain Tisi to the left at the 13:18 mark.
Chris Davis added an insurance goal with a short-handed effort - his second such goal in his career - 4 minutes, 11 seconds into the third period. For Davis, it was a bit of deja vu as his first career goal at UMass was scored at St. Lawrence on Oct. 14, 2005.
The Minutemen turned away an offensive barrage in the third period as the Saints held a 13-to-2- shot advantage. With 2:43 remaining in the game, SLU pulled Tisi for the extra-man advantage but managed just three shots thanks to a stout UMass defense.
Neither team allowed a power play goal as UMass killed off three Saint advantages and SLU killed off four Minutemen efforts.

Fist!!! Monthly!!! Issue 3: Satanic? Hell No!!!
***Welcome again ladies and gentlemen to The Vizier of Destiny's Quote of the Month***
'There's a passage i got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation. Ezekiel 25.17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfsihness and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And i will strike down upon thee with great vengence and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when i lay my vengeance upon you."
(This months quote was said by Jules Winnfield in the kick ass movie Pulp Fiction.)
Well people. I, the Vizier of Destiny, have decided to answer some of your questions in this months newsletter. First off, The Cult of the Fist are not Satanistic. Yes, i do preach about how we will take over the world but those are just my ramblings. Nor are we evil. We are just a group of spirited people that need a place to vent their anger and rage. Some of us do have some issues with the government and police. And although we don't have bake sales and fund raisers, we are not Satanic. A cult is, by definition, An exclusive group of persons sharing an esoteric interest. (for those that don't know esoteric means intended for or understood by only a small group). Unfortunatley cults of the past and today are some sort of religious devotion to a deity or spirit or demon. Cults are all given a bad name by the ones that are Satanic. We are not Satanic. In fact Zabgoth, Herr Hast, and myself are Catholic. And like i said before, most of the things said are not Zabgoth's and Herr Hast's beliefs. So now that i have cleared that up I am going to explain the beliefs we stand for. We believe that most COPS are swindling, coniving, arogant bastards (or bitches). We believe that our system of government is get more corrupt with every passing day. There has to be a way to change things to the way we, the people, want them. The Cult of the Fist as a whole feel that we must be the ones to bring about that change. Well, i must be away and smash some skulls. Until next time. Keep the death count high!!!

Supplies needed:
Kumihimo Loom
Embroidery Thread or Kumihimo Cord
To begin, decide how long you would like the finished bracelet. Then multiply that by 4 and add 12 inches. You will cut four strands at that length. {Two strands of each color}
For example, I wanted my bracelets 7 1/2 inches long. 7.5 X 4 = 30. Then 30 + 12 = 42. So I cut two strands of cream thread and two strands of turquoise thread that were 42 inches each.
Find the middle of your threads and tie them together with a small piece of string. Then tie on a weight of some kind. You could use a heavy bead, a small toy, whatever you can find around the house.... I found this little gauge that had a hole in it, not sure what it's for, but it worked well for this.
You are now ready to set up your loom and begin braiding.
Step 1: Pull your thread up through the hole in the center. Place one strand {turquoise} on each side of the N and S. Then place one strand {cream} on each side of the W and E.
Step 2: Grab the turquoise thread that is on the right of the N. Pull it out of the loom and place it in the next available space to the right of the S {Space 14, if you can read those small numbers}
Step 3: Now grab the turquoise thread to the left of the S and place it in the next available space to the left of the N. {Space 30}
Step 4: Turn the loom so the E is at the top.
Step 5: Grab the cream thread to the right of the E and place it in the next available spot to the right of the W.
Step 6: Grab the cream thread to the left of the W and place it in the next available spot to the left of the E.
Step 7: Turn the loom so the S is at the top and repeat the process. Continue until the braid is as long as you would like it to be. When you are finished take each of turquoise threads off the loom and tie them in a knot right up next to the braid. Then repeat with the cream threads.
After the first few turns your threads will no longer line up with the letters, just continue the pattern.
To finish it off I just tied it in a knot after it was on my ankle. I'm planning on wearing it the rest of the summer.
So what do you think? It's pretty easy, isn't it? If you have any questions, I'd be happy to try and help. And if you buy a loom it will probably come with instructions - at least the ones from Prima Bead did.
I have more Kumihimo tutorials in the works. Here is the schedule:Embroidery Thread and Seed Bead Bracelets {How-To}

Politics is a game of calculated risks. It is at its best when the risks involve putting everything at stake. This is possible only when the future is grasped in a flash, and the way opens for the paradoxical unity of calculation and risk to be realised.
Something of the kind seems to have happened in the political theatre of Punjab. Thanks to this the year 2012 may go down in history as a watershed year when the complexion of politics in the state underwent an extremely significant change. If the change is consolidated – let's hope it will be – Punjab might lead the country to a new politics to which the future belongs.
In a sense, Punjab has proclaimed the triumph of politics over economics. Whatever the sophisticated and well-meaning advocates of the preponderance of economics over politics might have argued over the last two decades, it remains true that democracy is endangered when the politics of all is subordinated to the economics of a few. Democracy is undermined when you denigrate the wisdom of the people to promote the so-called expertise of a handful of specialists and technocrats (whose arguments often end up cancelling each other out). In the prevailing situation in the country, it required courage to see beyond the seductive picture conjured by the potent neoliberal 'reformist' discourse. That seeing was made possible, I believe, by listening to the people's heartbeat. And trusting the sight and acting on its lessons involved the risk of inviting ridicule of the well-informed 'intelligentsia'. The Shiromani Akali Dal took that risk; perhaps they alone could have taken it.
One important result is that the social agenda, underwritten by the Constitution but thrown into oblivion for long, is back in politics. The new government, for instance, reportedly proposes to make education up to post-graduation free for girls – a truly radical measure in a society in which most people are still reluctant to spend on their daughter's education. One only hopes that the free education will include professional degrees also, at least for the economically disadvantaged girls.
Surely, the prospects of free or subsidised education have to be viewed against the actual state of public institutions of education in the state. These institutions will require special nurture, considering how important these are for an equitable distribution of opportunities and socially relevant education and research. The handful of colleges opened recently in educationally backward areas of Punjab have kindled new dreams in young eyes. Surely, these few colleges have proved to be beacons of hope and trust in a sea of apathy and despair. The rural Punjab has immense untapped intellectual wealth. We must not delay bringing it to light, for who will not be made richer by it?
The previous government had prepared a draft bill for opening libraries in all villages and towns of Punjab. Among the first things one wishes this government would do is to enact that bill into an act and unleash an intellectual renaissance in Punjab. Let those who say no government in Punjab will promote a culture of reading be proved wrong. I am sure this government can prove them wrong.
What would matter now is how strongly and to what extent the government can build upon the foundations that the SAD as the leading alliance partner has laid for the future of the state. The signs and hints so far are quite encouraging. The electoral victory has been received with grace and without loudness or vulgarity. One reason is that the victorious alliance as much as the losing parties acknowledge that it is a victory of democracy and its institutions. No one has any grudges against the Election Commission, and the latter has said good things about the political leadership. This is a very important sign of the future of democratic politics in Punjab, a sign that deserves to be read with joy and satisfaction.
But then why are so many people shocked by the electoral results? Probably the sense of shock has to be understood in the light of the expectations people have become accustomed to. It is not that the expectations have been shattered but that the habits that governed those expectations have been dealt a blow. People are coming to terms to with the fact that electoral results cannot be taken for granted and, secondly, that elections are not like gambling. So there is a positive sense in which electoral management has to be understood, a sense in which it is intrinsic to the functioning of democracy. It points beyond fatalism and chance to active human agency as the lynchpin of democracy.
What, however, most qualifies the emerging politics in Punjab as the politics of the future is the decisive break it has made with sectarianism of all kinds. Even the rivals of SAD would concede, I am sure, that the party's leadership took eminently salutary risks in consigning to the past a politics of identities and embracing a politics of solidarity and universal humanity. And the best thing is that the people responded with an equal measure of magnanimity. Hopefully, we are 'returning' to a future guided by the wisdom of sarbat da bhala.
And it seems that those at the top in power fully appreciate that secularism and development mean much more in a democracy when the people are suitably empowered to seek justice. A lot requires to be done - and the return of the Punjab Governance Reforms Commission suggests that this is also the feeling in the corridors of power - but what has been done was itself unthinkable a year or so ago. Official accountability is extremely difficult to ensure for various reasons. The Right to Service will be enlarged, it should be hoped, and not only the listed public services but all official activity will be progressively made transparent and accountable. Indeed this is the shortest route for a government or a political party to take to reach the people's hearts. In their routine interface with the government, people should experience convenience. And they should feel they are heard and respected. Only then they will feel this is their own government. It appears, fortunately, that the distance between the people and the government is set to reduce as governance is improved through further measures and democracy becomes actually more participatory.

Six weeks of drug therapy were compared to six weeks of chiropractic adjustments. The drug therapy was considered slightly more effective than chiropractic however 82% of the patients had side effects which included drowsiness, weight gain and dry mouth. Cardiac problems and glaucoma were also associated with amitriptyline use. Chiropractic patients had no side effects (apart from slight neck stiffness in the first two weeks of the study that 5% of the patients reported). After four weeks, chiropractic and drug therapy was halted in both groups. The patients who used drugs began having headaches again while the chiropractic group continued to express headache relief, as well as higher levels of energy and vitality than the drug therapy group.

A steady feeling has been percolating through me as of late, calling me into my future.
Remember who you were before you thought who you were mattered.
There is a pivotal piece of my continued healing that I have been puzzling over for a long time now.
This wildfire – and the many hours sitting in this forest in the silence – are getting me closer to it. I am so close I can almost taste it.
I have this sense that my biggest breakthroughs happen when I go through a process of letting go on multiple levels.
It happened to me during my two-month migraine. It happened when I read Erik on Avoidance and decided to go all-in on trying his approach. It happened in my early months of mold avoidance, when I was camping alone, often spending whole days in silence (or sometimes quietly strumming my $20 children's guitar).
It also happened when I decided to do my van and just be in nature for long, long stretches without worrying about the rest of world at all.
During the months when I was alone in Nature, I disconnected so much that many days my only technology-based contact with the world was just the two nightly texts to my husband:
I love you!
I love you, too!
Every time this process of closing in on a breakthrough happens, I feel three burdens lift.
I let go of what I think I know. I let go of what I feel must be true. And I let go of what I feel I ought to be doing.
There is something about this process of just saying, "Fuck it!" that seems to remove the junk from my mind. And then – often – the answer is right there in front of me, shining away and saying, "I was here all along, friend."
For me – maybe because I am such an introvert – there is also a part of healing that has to do with letting go of my own story. It is as if I need some distance from my own story in order to let the most beautiful narrative unfold. If I try to stay too tuned into it, I'll miss the most important arc.
And so, this idea keeps pulsing through me. Like a heartbeat, there is a rhythm to it.
Remember who you were before you thought who you were mattered.
Remember who you were before you thought who you were mattered.
Remember who you were before you thought who you were mattered.
I'll still be writing and sharing on here as my heart draws me to do that.
I have had some requests for some group calls and am considering it. I'll let you know about those through my email list if I decide to do that.
But I am going to pull back from Facebook for a while to see where this new rhythm takes me.
Please do subscribe to my website – if you haven't yet – to stay in touch with me and to get first word on all the things I am working on. The survey many of you filled out had requests and questions so wildly diverse I could easily see three more e-books coming out of those.
It felt good to read them. So many of you really, really get me. It is no wonder that I love you all so much.
I wish for all of you freedom, joy, wellness and peace.

Social media marketing has entered a new era. Brands are no longer content to simply experiment with a Facebook page and a Twitter account and "hope for the best." With social media marketing budgets on the rise, marketers need their social campaigns to drive bottom-line sales, measurable brand benefit, and improved customer lifetime value.
The maturation of the social media space has created the need for simple, standardized measurement techniques that clearly show whether social campaigns are working to deliver real brand impact and actual sales. Unlike the online advertising industry, which has standardized on a few key metrics (CPC, CPA, and CPM), social media success measurement is still in its infancy and continues to suffer from a lack of common metrics standards.
Large brands are able to license powerful social media analytics software and hire agencies to help them measure social programs with accuracy. However, many smaller organizations are unsure of how to best measure their social marketing programs.
- What should we measure?
- How do we measure it?
- What does success look like?
- Out of the many numbers we could measure for social media, how do you determine which are the key metrics you should measure now and in the long term?
The answers to these questions are complex, but every company can get started with social media measurement by focusing on three simple metrics.
These metrics won't tell you everything about the impact of your social media programs, but they will establish a low-cost, repeatable standard you can use to gauge success over time.
1. Total Online Community Size (sCRM)
Assuming your business has invested in a solid brand community presence on social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and launched a few managed blogs, measuring the total active size of your social CRM program is the simplest key metric to regularly evaluate.
Absolute size isn't as important as whether your program steadily growing over time. The sCRM metric offers insight into the value you're creating for those communities, as well as size of the 'captured audience' that has granted you permission to receive regular messaging, deals, and content.
sCRM = #Facebook Fans + #Twitter Followers + #blog unique users + #YouTubeChannel subscribers + #all other registered managed community members
To do: Manually collect figures from key channels; calculate weekly or monthly; save figures in basic spreadsheet; produce sparkline graphs to depict trendline. Bonus points: calculate same numbers for top three competitors and compare monthly.
2. Monthly Referred Social Traffic to Site (sTraffic)
Many large brands use sophisticated social content sharing tools to exactly track social media link clicks, content pass-along, and other deeper metrics. However, you can start simple and focus on the total unique site traffic coming to your website from links shared through blogs, forums, and the key social networks. You can get this with a simple query through your Omniture, WebTrends, Google Analytics, or other website analytics tool.
sTraffic = monthly website Unique Users via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, owned and 3rd party blogs, and forums
To do: Export absolute sTraffic # and % of total site traffic from your site analytics tool to a spreadsheet, then produce month-over-month sparkline graphs to depict trendlines.
3. Social Monthly Impressions (sMI)
Measuring the true reach of your brand in social media is a daunting task; it can take the best analytical minds weeks and a variety of tools. But estimating your 'social monthly impressions', while an imperfect science, can help provide a sense of how pervasive your brand is across the Web.
sMI = #mentions of your brand on blogs, forums, Twitter, etc. within a given month.
To do: Monitor brand mentions on a regular schedule (daily/weekly) using a free alerts tool like Google Alerts. While not necessarily comprehensive, this offers a regular digest of the individual instances of brand mentions in blogs, mainstream news media sites, and on large public social networks like Twitter.
Advanced Approach: Evaluate and select one of the many social monitoring tools to track total pervasive brand mentions, or take a look at emerging tools offered by companies like Simply Measured and SocialMention.
Whatever your level of social media marketing efforts, if you measure these three numbers at least once per month and track their relative movement over time with simple sparkline graphs via spreadsheet charts, you'll be able to regularly observe the benefits of your social investments.
While it's not a one-size-fits-all complete social media analytics solution, tracking sCRM, sTraffic, and sMI will get you started on a basic 'measure it to manage it' program for your core online social community initiatives.
