After much research, I have solved the mystery surrounding why I am out of shape. I don't move enough. Shocking, isn't it? Getting to this simple conclusion took a little help from a basic workout tool, and the recognition of my lazy habits. My new goal is to start walking 10,000 steps a day, and here's how I plan to get there.
Armed with a new pedometer, I began taking little steps each day to increase my physical activity. Sure, I hit the gym a few days a week, but I'm only there an hour. The other 23 hours were filled with inactivity. The last thing I wanted to do was implement a formal walking program – sorry, but it's boring to me. The following moves helped me reach my goal to walk 10,000 steps a day consistently, with minimal interference with my regular routine.
1. Get a pedometer. Unless you are really good at counting, you will probably want to pick up a quality pedometer to measure your steps. Some pedometers also monitor distances, and even heart rate, calories burned, etc. For this exercise I am most concerned with steps, so any decent pedometer will do. And since I'm a goal-oriented person, I love the challenge of trying to sneak in a few more steps than the day before.
2. If you have a desk job, stand up and walk every hour. I spend a lot of time in front of a computer – somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 hours a day. That's rough on the eyeballs, and even rougher on my gut. Instead of sitting for three hour marathons writing an article, I have started forcing myself to get up and walk for a few minutes. Sometimes I just wander around the office, and when the weather is nice, I stroll outside to my truck and back. On the occasion someone stops to ask what I am doing, I simply tell them I am taking a "non-smoke" break.
3. Park farther away from entrances. We've heard this one over and over again, but according to my handy pedometer it really does work. I began parking at the far corner of parking lots and counting the number of steps to where I would normally park (and then double that number for the return trip). It wasn't uncommon to earn an extra 200 steps from that move alone.
4. Put down the phone, cancel that email, and walk. Throughout the day I often call or email coworkers, even if they sit just a few steps away. Of course, it's better to put some things in writing, but many things can be handled by a quick conversation.
5. Walk or jog in place during your favorite television show. In the evenings, after dinner and when I generally start to feel like a sloth, it's hard not to just kick back and watch a couple hours of television, or surf the web. I enjoy only a couple television shows, but when they are on, I want to watch them because they represent my three or four hours during the week of mindless entertainment. So, I started standing during the program and walking in place, pacing the living room, and doing jumping jacks. If this disrupts your viewing pleasure, only do it during commercial breaks. Anything is better than just sitting there doing nothing for hours on end.
6. Take the stairs. Elevators and escalators were fun when we were kids, but taking the stairs adds steps to your daily total, and it is a great calorie burner.
7. Pacing. Spend a lot of your day standing around waiting? For the bus, the subway, a ride home, on hold on the phone? Instead of sitting or simply standing still, try pacing back and forth. This single act could add a few hundred steps to your day.
8. Take the dog for a walk. You and man's best friend will benefit from a quick stroll around the block. This is something I need to do more often. Our dog loves to be walked, but when it's cold and getting dark at the end of a long day, it sure is hard to go for the leash and head outside.
9. Hit the mall. Speaking of cold weather, did you know most malls open an hour or so early for walkers? And even if the stores are open, you can leave your cash and credit cards at home and simply stroll around the mall in a temperature-controlled, relatively safe environment. As long as you plan your route away from the food court, you'll be fine.
After I bought my pedometer, I went about my normal routine for a couple days to get a baseline for my daily steps. Without additional exercise or behavior modifications I was walking around 3,300 steps a day. That's a fairly low number considering 10,000 steps is roughly the equivalent of 30 minutes of moderate exercise.
On days I hit the gym that number increased to 6,000 steps thanks to a little time in the cardio area – still some 4,000 steps short of my goal. It was obvious I couldn't make up all those steps from the gym alone, so I began implementing the steps above. Since the first of the year, simply by incorporating these simple tweaks, I'm averaging about 10,300 steps. I'd like to improve to 15,000 or so by the end of January. In that same time I've managed to drop seven pounds without much change to my diet (although admittedly, I am trying to eat less these days).
What other tips can you share to help walkers get a few extra steps each day?

We are excited to let you know that we have a new whitepaper available on how insurance carriers can "knock down" some of the common challenges associated with eDelivery. Click the button below to download your free copy of the whitepaper and learn how your firm can:
Topics: insurance, eDelivery, expedite, whitepaper
There's a huge misconception out there: 4 out of 5 carriers believe that ePolicy Delivery is either too hard or big of a project to tackle. But it's not without good reason. Carriers are faced with a variety of road blocks when implementing ePolicy Delivery, and we are removing them with expedite. Here are some of the most common myths we hear about when helping clients implement ePolicy delivery.
As broker dealers start to sell more life and annuity business, it's important to streamline every aspect, while making it easy for your advisors and keeping compliance happy. Electronic life policy and annuity contract delivery is critical to the success of broker dealers.
eDelivery seems to be the last frontier for insurance carriers to realize dramatic reductions in costs and cycle times, with the upside of placement lift. But with the great benefits of eDelivery also comes many moving parts, opinions and priorities. We created this infographic with some great eDelivery quotes from our favorite movie characters, playing the roles of parties in the process like your agent, IT department, CFO and more. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did putting it together!
Topics: expedite
A few months ago, we shared the top reasons why expedite, our eDelivery platform, is a good fit for carriers and BGAs. But expedite can bring great benefits to broker dealers as well. In this post, we share the top 10 reasons why expedite is a great fit for broker dealers:
Yesterday we published this post on the top 20 reasons why expedite is the better choice for carriers. But expedite isn't just a great fit for carriers--today, we present the top 10 reasons expedite is the better choice for your BGA:
Since we started developing expedite, we've spent a considerable amount of time meeting with insurance carriers to better understand their eDelivery needs and getting feedback on expedite's design and functionality. We've also attended numerous industry conferences, such as NAILBA, to keep a pulse on the trends and future of eDelivery and other insurance technologies.
We were excited to be at NAILBA this year for our second time and it was great for so many reasons--but mostly, to see some old friends that we've known for many years and meet some new ones that we hope to share experiences with for years to come. It was also great to have an opportunity show the industry how far we've come and to hear the positive feedback about our offerings.
Topics: IFS Events, eDelivery, insurance industry, Annuva, Annuity Maintenance, expedite
You've probably already heard, but this year, we've introduced two new products: expedite (eDelivery platform) and Annuva (annuity maintenance solution). While developing Annuva and expedite, we spent considerable time, energy and resources ensuring that the User Interface (UI) of these new offerings led to enjoyable and efficient experiences. Wikipedia calls UI "the space where interactions between humans and machines occur." But, in the context of Annuva and expedite, you can just think of the UI as the way the design makes you feel about your experience with the product.

This miniature Korean fir is wonderfully distinct, developing a diminutive broad rounded form of unique greenish-blue and white reflexed needles. The original plant was selected from a witches' broom on the classic cultivar 'Silberlocke'. Plants are quite slow growing adding only around an inch of growth annually yet manage to really stand out in the crowd with age. We're ecstatic to have them available and consider the plant an absolute "must have" for conifer enthusiasts.

I love browsing Etsy and I really enjoy handcrafted items. I've had my eye on the gorgeous glass beads made by DeniseAnnette for the longest time. But if you don't grab what you want right away, someone else will! So this time, I acted fast and got me this little guy:
He came beautifully packaged and is a wonderful size. The colors are nice and vibrant and I love his little heart.
breastfeeding necklace. I didn't really know what these were but thought I'd make one anyway since Sprout has fast growing, razor sharp nails. He has absolutely no sharp areas and has so much texture!
Sprout immediately grabbed on and kept those little nails busy - and I walked away without scratches!
I will be linking this up with Tatertots & Jello, Flamingo Toes, Skip to My Lou, and Inspire Me Fridays.

Home Indoor Air Quality
Whether you are looking to buy a home, sell one, or are just interested in good home maintenance, you want to make sure the air in the home is safe to breathe.
Buying a Home?
As a building biologist, I can review and report on many things related to the soundness of the home. But one thing I cannot observe with the naked eye are the airborne chemicals present in the home that could potentially affect the health of you and your family.
Selling a Home?
If you are selling a home it is wise to have a pre-inspection done to make sure no hidden issues will present themselves when a potential buyer has made an offer to buy your home. Many home buyers are now requesting Indoor Air Quality audits. See how you can use a lowcost test to make sure your home air quality is within safe limits and to identify potential issues that can be remediated prior to putting your home on the market.
Feeling Ill at Home?
Sometimes it's what you don't know that can hurt you. Make sure the air in your home is safe to breathe. An IAQ Home Survey professional test measures and reports on the air in the home for chemicals and hidden mold that could be detrimental to your health or that could cost you thousands of dollars to remediate if left undetected.
Here are some important facts to know:
1. The US EPA has reported that home air can have 100 times more chemicals inside than outside.
2. The US EPA has also reported that adults and kids now spend most of their time indoors (90%).
3. The CDC has reported that 20+ million adults have asthma, and the National Asthma Survey has reported that asthma is the most prevalent chronic disease among children. These numbers continue to increase annually, suggesting that the indoor environment plays a contributing role in this trend.
4. Mold growth can be present within the home and be hidden behind walls or underneath carpeting or flooring.
5. The use of Formaldehyde is prevalent in certain building materials and the concentration of this known cancer-causing agent can be many times the safe level.
How can I know if the home air quality is safe?
I have chosen to offer my customers IAQ Home Survey™, a state-of-the-art test that checks for chemicals in the air that could potentially make you and your family sick, and provides you with an assessment of the home air quality.
1. IAQ Home Survey is a low-cost test designed to measure the chemicals in the air and find hidden mold.
2. IAQ Home Survey is performed during the home audit.
3. IAQ Home Survey reports the total amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) found in the home and whether they are within a recommended safe range.
4. IAQ Home Survey predicts the source of the VOCs and determines if the home is the source or if the VOCs are merely from the contents of the home.
5. IAQ Home Survey is so sensitive it monitors for the chemicals released by actively growing mold, whether it is behind walls or underneath carpeting or flooring.
6. Formaldehyde is also measured and reported individually. This test is especially useful for any home constructed or remodeled within the past five years.
Get peace of mind that the air in the home you're buying is safe to breathe. Call us today about performing an accurate, affordable IAQ Home Survey test as part of a complete home audit service.

More info:
Total Peace of Mind
For total peace of mind that you have a healthy home for you and your family to enjoy, have an IAQ Home Survey test run. Its easy to understand results drive actions you can take to insure a healthy air environment for you and your family.
IAQ Home Survey could be performed separately (call-out fee will apply) or during the home audit, sample tubes are then sent to laboratory in USA for an analysis. Depending on postal services, your results should be available within 3-4 weeks.
Call or email me for more info or to arrange a time for an audit.

As a frugal person, you probably have become quite adept at looking for sales – and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. There is no reason to pay full price when you could possibly shop around and find the same item on sale. Consistently shopping sales can save you money both in the short-term and over the long run. If you want to regularly stay within your budget on a monthly basis, you will find that sale shopping is a key part of the equation.
You might think, then, that the Black Friday sales that go on all over the country are a great opportunity to save some cash. Not so fast. Sure, you will see incredible prices posted for a number of quality goods, but those sales aren't necessarily all that they are cracked up to be.
Here are three reasons why you should think about steering clear of Black Friday.
Limited Supply
Usually, when you see a great price advertised for a product on Black Friday, there is a very limited number of items actually available at that price. So there might be a TV listed at $300, but there may only be five units offered at that price. Therefore, unless you get up very early – or get very lucky – you aren't going to get that deal.
Missing out on the deal might not be the end of the world, but you may then feel compelled to buy something else because have gone through the trouble of getting up to go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. By avoiding the scene altogether, you will eliminate the risk of making a bad shopping decision.
Things You Don't need
What are the chances that the items that happen to be on sale on Black Friday are actually things you need? More likely, you will end up buying something that wasn't in your plans simply because it is on sale.
Buying stuff you don't need is one of the fastest ways to blow through your budget. Stick to only buying things that have a specific purpose, and leave everything else alone – even if it is on sale.
The Holidays Are Expensive Enough
November and December are an expensive time of year, even if you keep all of your money in your wallet on Black Friday. Don't add to the cost of the holiday season by purchasing items that could have waited until the New Year – if you even needed to buy them at all.
The reality is that, thanks to online shopping, you can almost always find a good sale when you do really need to buy something. Your best bet from a budget perspective is to ignore the Black Friday marketing blitz and simply stick to the shopping plan that has served you well throughout the rest of the year. Not only will you have more money in your bank account by ignoring Black Friday, you will also be able to sleep in!
Are you going to shop or sleep on Black Friday? Do you think Black Friday actually allows you to save money? Do you go shopping on Thanksgiving?

Paul wasn't able to fulfil his dream of hiking the Appalachian Trail, but the boots he left behind— polished and ready to go—are inspiring countless others.
Paul first discovered about the Appalachian Trail while living in Australia. He read about it, listened to podcasts about it, and constantly talked about it. He was obsessed with hiking the Appalachian Trail.
He was packed and getting ready to go when, sadly, his heart gave out. After awhile, Paul's wife, M'Lynn, contacted The Dirtbag Diaries podcast to help find Appalachian Trail hikers who could make good use of his boots. Their producers at Duct Tape Then Beer reached out to REI to help spread the word. Now people Paul never met are strapping his boots to their packs and hiking sections of the AT. It's too bad Paul's not here to hike the trail himself, but we think he'd be pretty pleased that his size 13 boots are inspiring so many others.

Fresh from promising students that they can have as much sex as they want through his new contraception mandate, President Obama now promises them they can get as educated as they want, for free.
His website boasts that his administration will "make college affordable for everyone" and his expansion of the Pell Grants will help make college a right, akin to Social Security and Medicare. Of course, Obama doesn't tell us why he'd only settle at college; the right to, say, free graduate school is presumably not yet on the table. Perhaps in a second term?
No matter–in his bid to bail out the students with bonds, Obama seeks to divorce financial choice from financial consequences, and extend the perpetual adolescence of college-aged students by making them perpetually dependent on the taxpayer. You might say he's banking on the economic illiteracy of the millennial generation, a generation he has rechristened in his own image, dubbing us "Gen44," that is, the generation that elected him the nation's forty-fourth president.
How's that turning out for us?
Not so good. Half of all college graduates are underemployed or jobless, according to the Associated Press. Maybe that's why we aren't so excited to support him this time again. A USA Today/Gallup survey found that only 48% of those aged 18-29 are enthused about Obama in February 2012, compared to 76% in February 2008. With youth unemployment above 20%, it's little wonder why.
While President Obama's website says that he wants everyone to go to college, his policies have made it harder and harder to get educated. It's not all Obama's fault–he didn't start the fire–but he did add the accelerant. Since 1978, college tuition (the price) has exploded tenfold. In 2009, tuition grew by 6%, four times the growth of overall prices did. And in 2011, for the first time ever, student loan debt ($850 billion) has outpaced credit card debt ($830 billion) and shows no signs of slowing down, especially as Obama lavishes still more money on a failing system.
Which brings us to the student loan issue still in the news cycle this week. Unless Congress acts by July, he tells us, and forces the American taxpayer to fork over another $6 billion for our already bloated higher education system, the interest rate on federal Stafford student loans will double, from 3.4% to 6.8%. More than 7 million students, he tells us, will be affected.
Of course, he overstates the case. The average college debt load today is about the price of a new Toyota Prius, according to Bill McGurn–$28,100 from a private school and $22,000 for those from a public school. No small potatoes to be sure, but hardly all that crippling when the starting wage in the U.S. for a college graduate is just shy of $50,000–that is, if that graduate can get a job in this economy.
Still, Obama, hoping to make political hay of bad news, is sounding the alarm at the Universities of North Carolina, Colorado, and Iowa–three crucial swing states he'll need to win in November. That's why he's targeting Congresswoman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, whom he deliberately misquoted in–well, North Carolina.
Ostensibly quoting the Gentlelady from North Carolina, Obama told a college audience:
She said she had 'very little tolerance for people who tell me they graduate with debt because there's no reason for that.' I'm just quoting here, I'm just quoting.
She said students who rack up student loan debt are just 'sitting on their butts having opportunity dumped in your lap.' I'm reading it here. So I didn't make this up.
There's just one problem. That's not the full context of Ms. Fox's remarks. This is:
"I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there's no reason for that," Foxx continued. "We live in an opportunity society and people are forgetting that. I remind folks all the time that the Declaration of Independence says 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' You don't sit on your butt and have it dumped in your lap."
Of course Foxx, who worked her way through college with her husband, and who was the first in her family to graduate high school, let alone college, knows a thing or two about working your butt off. And besides, those who take out more than $200,000 in debt are a very small sliver of the overall college indebted population. No more than six percent, according to a study by the Fed, take out more than $75,000–to say nothing of $200,000–to pay for college.
Never mind the facts. Now Obama is blaming the Republicans for the consequences of policies he long favored. It was, after all, his administration, working with the Democratic-controlled House and the Democratic-controlled Senate, that took over the student loan industry in 2010 as part of a gimmick to hide the cost of Obamacare. By taking over four-fifths of the student loan industry and saddling the remaining fifth with regulation, Obama has driven up the price of a loan by curbing the numbers of originators who can supply them.
While he may decry "cutting our way to prosperity," is he really arguing that his Department of Education, which doubled in size and now stands at over $150 billion a year, couldn't do with a little trimming? If the student loans were so important, why doesn't he shave off six or so billion from that bloated agency? If we really are "investing in the future," by investing in education, why not allocate money from the Department of Education?
That is, of course, assuming that it is such a wise thing to send everyone to college in the first place. And here the evidence is very shaky. Indeed, only 53% of four-year college students graduate in six years, according to the American Enterprise Institute. That statistic may, in and of itself, spell doom for Obama's plan to make America the world's leader in college graduates. So, too, does the fact that poorer Americans seem to have especially poor graduation rates. According to a University of Michigan study, college-graduates rates vary by income. The New York Times summed up its findings by look[ing] at two generations of students, those born from 1961 to 1964 and those born from 1979 to 1982. By 1989, about one-third of the high-income students in the first generation had finished college; by 2007, more than half of the second generation had done so. By contrast, only 9 percent of the low-income students in the second generation had completed college by 2007, up only slightly from a 5 percent college completion rate by the first generation in 1989.
You would think that President Obama would do everything he could to boost the numbers of low-income graduates–and yet, his policy is one of demonizing the community colleges and for-profit colleges that educate them. While governments subsidize for-profit colleges, for-profit taxpayers cost taxpayers significantly less and pay taxes–and graduate 12% of all higher-education students, including disproportionate numbers of Hispanics (24%), blacks (25%), and students whose parents did not complete high school (28%). At Kaplan, which is one of the largest programs, higher-risk students graduate at twice the rate–32% versus 17%–at which demographically comparable students graduate from four-year institutions of higher education. Isn't it more important that workers be educated than that they go to a traditional one-size fits all college? The knowledge workers that Peter Drucker once prophesied may not have to go to college, after all. They need skills, not higher and higher college bills paid for by the taxpayer.
You know it's an election year when politicians are promising things for free and calling them investments!

Spotlight Artist: Will Knox
March 2, 2011 by Stacie Caddick-Dowty
Filed under Daily Music News, Spotlight Bands
Will Knox was born in London, studied music at Berklee in Boston and now lives in New York City, if that's not enough to inspire a lifetime of music, we don't know what is! Inspired and inspiring, his blend of folksy alternative music spins a web of imagery which he captured perfectly by releasing his latest release Lexicon as a comic book. Citing influnces likeTracy Chapman to Ryan Adams to Nick Drake Knox is a true delight through and through.
Currently out on tour with Matt White and Brendan james on "The Troubadour Tour" through mid March we recently caught up with him to talk shop!
Interviewed by: Stacie Caddick-Dowty
For your latest release Lexicon you took a different avenue for its presentation, a comic book designed by Robin Ha. Explain to our readers why you chose this, and why it is so fitting for you and this record?
Lexicon is an effort to bring music, artwork and lyrics closer together. Since 12″ vinyls gave way to cassettes and CD's, and ultimately MP3's, artwork has had less and less of an importance in the eyes of the industry. I strongly believe if musicians are going to sell tangible records any more they have to be more than just a plastic jewel case and a headshot. I really think music fans want interesting artwork too. So we released the record strictly as a comic book – no CD's, records, or cassettes, just a digital download code on the inside cover. As you listen to the songs you can follow the lyrics as the script of the story. Instead of spending our money on manufacturing plastic CDs and jewel cases we found a way of using the same budget on reproducing comic books with download codes, which I think is a little more fun! Lyrics are extremely important to me, so it's nice to be able to feature them in a visual way. They're fuelled by a lot of metaphors and imagery, which hopefully helped Robin come up with some inspiration for the illustrations.
Your music is described as folk/alternative. To be honest, this was never my music of choice but, you my dear, have made me a fan! I love your musical poetry! Take us through a couple of your favorite tracks off the new record, how they came about and what they mean to you.
Yes, so glad to have you on the other side! I really enjoy playing "Ice Capades" – it's about being at your wit's end, making mistakes and not being able to learn from them. Maybe 'enjoy' isn't the right word, but no matter how many times I play it I still feel what I felt when the lyrics came out the first time. I wrote it about 10 minutes after a co-writing session had been cancelled, and just had a lot of pent-up creative energy.
"Sugar Cube" was also a lot of fun to make. We experimented with a slightly more psychedelic tone, and more electric instruments than I'm used to. Most of my songs are very acoustically driven, but this song seemed to change the whole EP in to something a little more electric and quirky.
Originally from Hammersmith in London, you came to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA at the age of 18. What led to the decision to jump the pond and study in Boston?
Probably naivety but mostly a drive and curiosity that most 18 year olds have to see the world and learn and experience new things. I'd heard great things about the college, and was going to go for 8 months originally – I had no idea I'd end up staying in this country for another 6 years (and possibly more).
Growing up our parents seem to have the greatest of influences on us, your musical influences included. Talk to us about these influences and how you believe they molded you in to the musician you have become.
That is an interesting question. My Dad is a keen music fan and often took me to shows like The Rolling Stones (my first show!), Michael Jackson, The Who, James Brown. I would play video games in the same room he would listen to records, and for some strange reason I'll always associate 'Hook' on the Super Nintendo with K.D. Lang. He isn't musical himself, but encouraged me to pick up the guitar when I was a little shy to say I wanted to. Funnily enough my Mum has just started playing the piano. Both of them are extremely supportive, and I think their encouragement has molded me in to the musician I am much more than their musical tastes have. That said, I did just steal their entire collection of vinyls.
Currently out supporting Brendan James and Matt White on the east coast leg of their co-headlining tour, what are you looking forward to the most?
Honestly I look forward each night to waking up and doing it all over again. I'm going to miss it when it's finished. I'm excited to see more of the south – Alabama, Tennessee and Florida. I went to Third and Lindsley in Nashville to see a show once, and remember thinking how fun it would be to play there one day – now that day's coming up!
What is one thing you can't live without on tour?
What a dangerous question. As much as I'd like to have a rock star answer, I think clean laundry takes the prize.
In a previous interview you were quoted to answer that if you were on a deserted island and could bring three things you would bring a case of Jameson, an ice machine, and a glass. When asked a favorite quote you stated "When life gives you lemons, ask for tequila and salt". So I'm going out on a limb and going to ask if you had to choose between Tequila and Jameson, what would it be?
Jameson. Jameson makes everything better, Tequila makes everything weirder.
"I'm Going to Kill You in Your Sleep" might be one of my favorite live songs I've ever heard! While not on one of your records, I just had to make it into an MP3 for my iPod. While it has a sadistic theme, the song is very upbeat and fun and speaks what many of us wish we could! Any plans to include it on a future recording?
Haha, absolutely none. I have no idea how it could work on a record with any of my other songs, so I think it'll just be a live song for the rest of its life. But who knows, maybe it'll be a fun secret track one day.
Where would you like music to take you?
To wherever people want to listen. I've seen a lot of the States through music, and met a lot of people I never would have met otherwise. Hopefully I can keep doing that in more and more countries.

Yesterday, I was too tired to work on any project. I decided to spend time on my hobbies. I looked into forums/groups, mapped a few places on Google Mapmaker and then started working on English to Urdu translation. As announced earlier, YouTube is now available in Urdu language, I felt relieved as this is another achievement of the Urdu Translators community in Pakistan (which I am a part of).
Just for fun, I subtitled one video from ToffeeTV (Humty Dumpty in Urdu) in Urdu language. The video is already narrated in Urdu. I just added subtitles to the video. Below is the video with to Humty Dumpty Urdu subtitles.
The jingle is really interesting. Every time I heard it, I actually shook my body with the rhythm of the jingle (crazy lol). However, the idea was that, at least, all Urdu videos should have Urdu subtitles added to them in YouTube for more accessibility and readability. This was just to show how it can be done easily. I hope the team at ToffeeTV will look into this and make it even more interesting for kids to learn and enjoy.

Love this look. Fresh and young and yet elegant. This skirt is wow. The colour and cut go so well together with the classic blouse. Great combi.ReplyDelete
The skirt isvery elegant, and the pattern very nice.Green earrings should have been a good choice!ReplyDelete

Nice spring green, and white always looks good. Nice job Mary.ReplyDelete
Dear Blog Owner!ReplyDelete
Victoria of Sweden and Mary of Denmark are 'Crown Princesses', not 'Princesses'! :)
Lovely Look !ReplyDelete
She looks good and I like the style and shape of the skirt. I like the shade of green but I think the pattern of the material looks like something you would make soft furnishings with.ReplyDelete
She seems to have changed her style. Is this a new fashion?ReplyDelete

When I first saw the picture I was wondering if she had borrowed one of Victoria's skirts... Very nice, fresh and suitable look. Love it.ReplyDelete
I don´t dislike the colour or pattern (although it looks a bit like algae). Mary managed to still look good, and the white crisp blouse was a good call. However, I´m struggling a bit with the length of the skirt, which seems so popular with our royal ladies lately. That length is in no-mans-land for me, too long to be short, too short to be long. I know this is meant to be midi-length, but to me, that will forever be a length that is for gowns/evening wear only, especially in that fuller version. For a daytime event, and with a casually styled business blouse, it looks weird.ReplyDelete
Of the three versions presented by H&M, I can get behind the dressy version on the right (for evening wear), although the all-over green algae print is a bit much. The other two versions on the left look really bad. The mini skirt because of the combination with that blue stripey blouse (the worst possible combination really, and half-tucked as well + terrible shoes), and the dress with the t-shirt underneath and those hideous black sandals looks really silly.
The mini-skirt with Mary´s white blouse on the other hand, would have work really well, I think.

In 2012, Ryan Winnen, drummer for Nashville's breakout indie-pop sensation COIN, found himself playing at "an arguably intolerable volume" in a dorm room with two of his Belmont University schoolmates. His peers, vocalist Chase Lawrence and guitarist Joe Memmel, had started writing songs together, starting in a music theory class, where a friend of Winnen's overheard them talking about needing a drummer.
Winnen describes this early jam session as "something pure and youthful and 'all right,'" and recalls the bandmates' immediate enthusiasm for their craft. "We just wanted to play one show," Winnen recalls.
After that one show occurred, the trio met Zach Dyke, who shot an early, unreleased music video for the band. Says Winnen, "On the day of the shoot, there were a bunch of instruments set up in [Zach's] living room. It would not be untrue to say Zach picked up the bass guitar and the rest was history." With Dyke on bass, COIN's lineup was officially set, and the band started playing shows around Nashville, quickly accumulating fans.
With a full lineup finalized, COIN set out to bring recorded music to its fans with the release of two EPs called Saturdays and 1992, released in late 2012 and 2013, respectively. Despite the obvious talent on display with these releases, it wasn't until 2015 that the eyes of the national music scene fell upon the still-young quartet with its single "Run," a blistering three-and-a-half-minute pop-rock gem that induces involuntary head-bopping and energetic nostalgia. Swirling synth lines and memorable sing-along choruses supported by tight musicianship became COIN's M.O.
The summer 2015 release of the band's self-titled debut full-length capitalized on this success, drawing positive reviews from national music outlets like Billboard. It was around this time that the band reached a milestone: a Lollapalooza performance. Winnen recalls the festival fondly, mentioning that "for some reason, we always go back to speak of Lollapalooza 2015. Something just felt right. We were still virtually unknown, but played for an exceptionally large crowd. At the time, it was the biggest show we'd ever played."
Since the self-titled release, COIN's success has only grown; the band reached another milestone in April this year when it released its second full-length album, How Will You Know if You Never Try. On this release, the group's sound begins to take a new direction, with a wider inclusion of synthesizer and a slightly more new-wave song structure, as well as more powerful, honest lyrical ideas. The forty-minute opus boasts a mildly retro feel, while still maintaining a fresh, unique and exciting sound. The tracks were written in multiple locations, with Memmel and Lawrence spending some time in L.A. and the band as a whole retreating to a mountain cabin.
Winnen details the writing process: Certain songs "came in a matter of hours," and others "took some surgery," though the band still left things "open to chance for the actual recording process."
In the months since the release, the drummer has had time to reflect on how the album came together and what has changed in COIN's songwriting. "I think that this record shows us as individual writers feeling more confident, using literal phrasing and embracing clearly stated lyrical imagery. In our personal lives, each of us had a lot of change happen all at once while making this album. I think, in turn, it makes playing these songs live feel that much more 'important' and personal to us."
Winnen speaks with intelligent modesty about the band's place in the music scene, noting that more steps are added to the ladder each day in the music industry and that you can't live too literally on that ladder. If you do, he says, it'll drive you crazy.

Despite the amount of success that COIN has achieved thus far in its short tenure, the drummer says that it's not streams or sales or critical acclaim that encourage the musicians, but the fans.
"Today, we're thrilled to be playing our own shows for the first time in front of people who seemingly really, really care," Winnen says. "I think that is what has changed our perspective about our future."
Winnen says the thrill shows no sign of subsiding, as he humbly remarks: "To find that anyone feels anything while listening to our music will never settle in with us as 'normal.'"
Be sure to catch COIN at the Westword Music Showcase on June 24. You can purchase tickets for Showcase here.

Adapted by Jonathan Morris
Directed by Ken Bentley
Produced by David Richardson
Starring: Sylvester McCoy (The Doctor), Travis Oliver (Chris Cwej), Yasmin Bannerman (Roz Forrester), Michelle Collins (Winnie Tyler), Denise Black (Eva Jericho), Georgie Fuller (Bev Tyler), Tayler Marshall (Gabriel Tyler), Richard Hope (Harry Harvey), Daniel Brocklebank (David Daniels), Peter Barrett (The Capper), Robert Duncan (Mr Thomas), Damian Lynch (Scott Delaney)
The Doctor, Chris and Roz arrive in London, 1987, where a deadly new narcotic is on the streets…
Damaged Goods is adapted from a novel in the New Adventures line published in 1996 by Virgin. The New Adventures were one of the lines of novels meant to carry on the series in spirit after its cancellation and were a proving ground for some of the best authors working today. They were also one of the places where the look and feel of new Doctor Who was born and that's especially true of this story, written by Russell T Davies himself.
From the opening narration, itself cleverly mirrored at the top of the second half, you're in doubt this is a Davies story. A barely remembered childhood nightmare, the Doctor present in unusual times and places and the weight of time on his shoulders are all established in the cold open. Then, after a new version of the theme tune so great it deserves to be the industry standard, the story really gets underway.
The 7th Doctor travelled with two Ajudicators, essentially police officers from the future. Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej were great foils for the constantly scheming Seven, their pragmatism a neat contrast to his game playing. That dynamic is translated across perfectly here, with Yasmin Bannerman and Travis Oliver doing great work as the two cops. Bannerman in particular is excellent as the methodical, calm Roz and Oliver excels as her more personable, slightly naïve partner. The story shakes out so Roz spends a lot of time verbally sparring with the Doctor and Chris does a lot of the leg work which plays into one of Davies' biggest strengths; character.
As the three investigate a mysterious, drug related death we're introduced to the inhabitants of the tower blocks around them. Michelle Collins is excellent as haunted mum Winnie Tyler while Georgie Fuller and Tayler Marshall are even better as her kids, Bev and Gabriel. Fuller in particular helps set the tone of the story and her recollections of events she's suppressed are genuinely chilling. Likewise, Tayler brings a calm and authority to the role beyond his years that really helps lift the story. That in turn leads into the rich thematic ground that's Davies' other strong point. Set in 1987, the story explores class and homophobia intelligently and openly. The scenes between Chris and David are especially nicely done and ground the story in much the same way the Mrs Jericho plot does. This was a dark time for a lot of people in the UK and Davies, and this production, never shies away from that.
That social grounding in turn provides the foundation for a really solid, satisfying Doctor Who story. There's some well-handled temporal gamesmanship from the 7th Doctor, a meaty and involving detective story and a finale that feels organic and earned not to mention some nice continuity surprises. The amount of people describing what they're doing is kept to a bare minimum, the characters all have agency and personality and the ending is pragmatic, hopeful and a million miles away from a victorious clean sweep. This is, in the end, a story about damaged people, what they'll do to fix themselves and the price we all pay.
Verdict: Beautifully adapted and acted, this is one of the strongest releases from Big Finish so far this year. Here's hoping more adaptations are on the way. And that theme tune sticks around…. 10/10

My little sister is 9. Sometimes we get on like a house on fire, and sometimes we don't get on at all. But when it comes down to it, we always have each other's backs and she's actually one of my best friends.
Whatever happens in your life, she still thinks you're really cool.
No matter what's going on in my day-to-day life, my sister still thinks I have my sh*t together. Most of the time, I don't. But it's nice to have someone who thinks that.
You can have movie nights.
I don't need an excuse to watch children's films anyway, but some of the most fun nights I've had have been just watching a movie with her with some snacks. It's literally like having a sleepover with one of your besties.
When your friends aren't interested, your little sister is still there.
Although she can't always understand my problems – there is a ten year age gap between us so our problems are quite different – but she will try. She will always try to cheer me up when she thinks I need it.
She tells her friends about you, so when you meet them it's like they know you already.
Last year my sister had a bowling party for her birthday. When I got there all her friends were like 'oh my gosh hi Hannah!' and by the end of the day it was like I was part of their little crew. If only making friends was always that easy!
You're the one she goes to for advice.
I remember being nine, and sometimes I didn't want to go to my parents or friends for advice (even now I still don't want to at times!). I'm glad my sister can talk to me about things like boy troubles or friendship break ups. The usual primary school stuff. She had problems with an older girl at school last year and she came to me about it – I was so, so pleased that she had. Many children don't tell their families or teachers about bullies or school problems, so I'm glad I can be there for her.
She will always want to do things with you.
My little sister is always up for coming out with me whether that be for days out or just a trip to the car wash. It's nice to have somebody that wants to spend time with you. I often feel guilty because I don't make enough time for her, I admit that.
You get to be a 'role model'.
By no means am I the ideal role model for a child, but I'm not horrible or dangerous or anything like that. When my sister found out about my blog she decided to start her own fake one. She asks me for advice on it, and how she should take her photos or what post titles should be. I think it's so sweet.
She'll be totally honest with you.
My sister tells me straight if she doesn't like what I'm wearing. I'll ask her to help me choose an outfit and she'll be like 'um.. no, not that.' I really think that good friends are honest – they tell you what they think.

6 ways to tell the difference between acne and rosacea. They can look similar!
Thank you for your question! You reminded me that I've been seeing many questions about acne and Rosacea. 🙂
Here are 6 ways to tell the difference between acne and Rosacea:
- Acne onset is most common in the 11-40 year old age range. Rosacea onset is most common in the 30-70 year old age range. Since you were in your 60s when this started, you most likely have new onset rosacea, so please see a dermatologist for help.
- Acne usually has different appearances in the same person. For example, blackheads, whiteheads, red bumps (papules), pustules and bigger, tender nodules may all exist at the same time. Rosacea usually looks more uniform with red bumps and sometimes pustules.
- Food/drink triggers like alcohol, too much coffee, hot liquids, etc., are common with rosacea. Acne usually does not have dietary triggers.
- Rosacea is usually associated with flushing or a history of easy flushing and flushing, with a sensation of heat in the face being common. With acne, this is usually not the case.
- Acne occurs in all ethnicities. Rosacea often has a strong link to celtic genes. It's very prevalent in Ireland, Scotland and England.
- Rosacea rarely causes any permanent scars on the face. Permanent scars do occur with acne.
Treatment of both acne and Rosacea is key! And often be effective with just prescription creams or gels. With rosacea, dietary changes are often needed. For more of my posts about acne, see the whole section here. For more information on Rosacea and how to treat it, see my articles here.
Please see a dermatologist, if you have either of these or are seeing any signs of permanent scars or indentations.
Hope this helps, Dr. I

VDOT News - Statewide
Marshall M. Herman 804-692-2134
Oct. 6, 2016
Public meetings to be held October through December
RICHMOND, Va. – The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) will hold nine public meetings across the commonwealth from October through December on prioritizing transportation projects.
The public is invited to get the latest information, ask questions and provide input on transportation projects. This year's meetings will consist of an open house where attendees can review and provide feedback on the list of proposed local and regional projects that have been submitted for scoring through the SMART SCALE prioritization process.
Following the open house, a town hall session will engage public and transportation stakeholders in discussion and provide an opportunity to ask questions about the projects. There will be no formal public comment during the meetings.
Signed into law by Gov. Terry McAuliffe, SMART SCALE (formerly known as House Bill 2) is an objective and data-driven "prioritization" process to score projects according to critical transportation needs.
The meetings will highlight the 436 applications for projects submitted by 148 local and regional governments across the state. The applications request $9.25 billion in funding through SMART SCALE with a total value of $12.09 billion in total project value.
Projects that have been determined to meet a need identified in VTrans, Virginia's statewide transportation policy plan, will be advanced for evaluation and scoring. Scoring results will be made available to the public.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Lace area is 11.5"x3.5",
all handtied, big enough
to do free parting
The back is strong weft hair. Weft is closely placed. Line is invisible
Back of cap is highly stretchable lace, making a perfect and comfortable fit on your head
for you to adjust the cap
size easily
We are offering general medium size for lace front wigs. However since it's using stretch lace and adjustment belt at back, it fits most people with circumference size from 21.5" to 23.5" and nape size from 13.5" to 15.5".
1. Pin hair as flat and as tight as possible before taking the measurements.
2. Round your measurements up not down. Example: 12 3/4 should be rounded up to 13 and 12
1/4 should be rounded up to 12 1/2.
Note: If you are bald or do not have a hairline - you do not need to add the inch - simply put the tape measure where you would like your hairline to begin with the wig.
The averages below are just examples. Not everyone will meet these measurements - some may be under or over and that is perfectly fine.
1.Normally our length is about 4inch longer than many other companies.
Because for VOHAIR.com, the wig length is measuring from NAPE. While for
many other hair companies, their wig length is measuring from top, not from
nape. This makes about 4inch difference.
2.For same hair length in different style, the hair length would look different. So hair of
tighter curl/wave would look shorter.

Darren Williams
Former Head of Global Sales, Eurostar
It is a widely held truism that technology is a great enabler of the customer experience – both in terms of the products offered and how companies engage with their audience – but equally true is the fact that the pace of change is greater than ever before. Rail is meeting these challenges head on even if the core product (a less flexible mode of transport in an industry requiring substantial investment) may feel somewhat quaint to Generation Z.
When Eurostar started in 1994 the internet was embryonic. Fast forward just over 20 years and the expectation is that any organisation should have an app and/or a fully responsive site on which to do business. Any company overlooking the leap (and in developing countries, the leapfrogging) to mobile is likely to be left behind.
Wifi also feels like an old story now; we've all gone from being delighted to have wifi in a hotel to being slightly miffed at not getting it for free in just about any public space on earth. Despite the challenges of delivering unfettered access at 300 km/h through tunnels, unconnected countryside and in some cases under the sea, rail companies are meeting these head on. Our customers demand it – if I can get a coffee and get online in Starbucks with my £2.50 I sure as hell demand it when I've paid £250 for a train ticket! And we agree with them.
On board entertainment is another customer expectation which has evolved in how it is being delivered and consumed. We all remember the big screens in aircrafts showing the not-so-latest blockbuster - even now you can sometimes take flights with drop down screens offering anything but on demand. But what about rail? The opportunity we have is to harness the technological advances and skip the hardware. I recall being delighted and professionally jealous of being able to watch a film in my couchette between Xian and Beijing back in 2004. But who needs to do that now? We all have iPads and other smart devices, so simply having access to entertainment is all that's needed in 2016.
Finally, we cannot ignore social media and the sharing economy. Car pooling and trains do not seem like natural bedfellows, but initiatives such as Thalys' TickUp and Eurostar Snap tap into the desires and expectations of exactly the same audience, offering a competitive product in a connected world. Uber Train anyone?Darren Williams contributed to Amadeus' recent discussion paper, Reinventing rail: the battle for the customer.

Been keeping myself occupied by building structures. I think my mind has returned to 'models' following recent enquiries into architectural theory/ issues and a revisit to the work of Marjetica Potrc. I'm hoping to meet Teresa Stopanni (prof and head of School of Architecture at Leeds Met) following her talk on 'The Architectural Model' at Henry Moore Institute recently (the notes on which i've badgered her for!). Their end of year show was impressive.
Teresa's talk was part of a series that were organised to run alongside the Ian Kiaer exhibition in the main galleries. It's been an inspirational show for me personally and given me plenty to reflect on in my own practice. This line of enquiry all prompted by the recent news that i've been awarded a WRoCAH (White Rose Universities) studentship for a practice based Fine Art PhD at the University of Leeds. Really pleased and looking forward to getting stuck in this Autumn.

Safety first!

Olivia Waite is a romance author, practicing feminist, and wide-ranging dilettante.
Please allow me to humbly ask you to consider reading and/or reviewing my most recent erotic historical, Color Me Bad, which is available from a range of sellers (Kindle, Kobo, ARe). It's the story of a gentleman painter and a lady thief, features the hilarious phrase "Chubb detector lock," and has the best imaginary paintings since the iceberg seascape in Jane Eyre. Also, look at that cover! It's rather beautiful.
If you're thinking of reviewing Color Me Bad, I would be thrilled! I ask only that you:
In short, please treat Color Me Bad as you would treat any book of any type, however you interpret that particular phrase, and thank you for reading this far into a truly ridiculous post. If I could bait this last sentence with a tray of reward-cookies, believe me, I would.

It's summertime and IT IS HOT.
The first moment you step outside, you welcome the warmth on your skin, but stay outside a moment longer and the sun and humidity can be oh-so-cruel! At least here in Florida, we know how unbearable it can even be to walk from your driveway to your front door, but spending Summer indoors just wouldn't be right!
Lucky for us, there are plenty of ways to embrace the change in weather: starting the morning early before the sun gets too strong, drinking infused water (lemon with raspberry is my favorite!), and making a little change to your wardrobe. At Medical Scrubs Mall, there are countless designs that capture the outdoors perfectly: adventure and style in tow. This week, we'll venture more on the wild side…
Animal prints look great on everyone, so bring out your wild side with these cute scrub tops featuring my favorite animal prints! From subtle to loud, to elegant and proud, let's see what prints will make you stand out from the crowd.
1. A little here, a little there, we definitely see spots on there. "Lovely to Meet Zoo" from Cherokee.
2. This zebra print from heartsoul can't be missed. Believe me, though, I woke up like this.
3. "Spot the Leopard" from Cherokee has a subtle colorful touch, but certainly not too much.
4. Now, make way! Stand back! "Floral Cheetah" is coming through. This Cherokee top is in full bloom.
5. Looking for a top that's lovely and sweet? Heartsoul's "Prowl Do You Do" is here for you.
6. You know Sofia Vergara had you in mind when designing this print. It's charming. It's bold. "La Vida Leopard" from Careisma.
Our selection of animal prints can't be beat—it's Summer after all, so bring on the heat! Share your favorite looks with us below!

BLACK DICE : OneOhTrix Point Never : Turn to Crime : dj David Donahue
Black Dice, Oneohtrix Point Never (DJ Set), Turn To Crime, dj David Donahue
Living Bread
2 Knickerbocker Ave.
at Johnson Ave.
Brooklyn, NY, 11237
This event is all ages
Black Dice is an explosive, radical, and viciously unique rock & roll band. Based out of Brooklyn, NY, the trio is fiercely independent, doggedly disciplined, and uncompromisingly DIY in approach. Brothers Eric and Bjorn Copeland and Aaron Warren have spent over a decade recording, touring, and unleashing their bizarre musical doctrine on audiences the world over. Starting as a loud, chaotic mix of early-eighties-inspired thrash and harsh noise, the band has transformed itself with each record and every era of performance. The music currently retains elements of noise and proto-industrial experimentation, while at the same time organically suggesting minimal, electronic, hip-hop, and psychedelic ideas as well as those of punk, tropicalia, and dub. Consistent to every era and all of their material is an irreverent, aggressive, hand-made aesthetic that simultaneously revels in and reconfigures the whole of popular culture.
Black Dice formed during the spring of 1997 in Providence, Rhode Island. At the time, Bjorn Copeland (guitar), Hisham Bharoocha (drums), and Sebastian Blanck (bass) were students at the Rhode Island School of Design while Eric Copeland (vocals) was still attending high school in Maine. Early shows seldom lasted more than fifteen minutes and were characterized by violent performances where injuries were often sustained by the band and audience alike. Live sets mixed structured songs with improvised sound manipulation, and shows differed from night to night.
In the summer of 1998 the band relocated to NYC where Eric was going to college. At an early New York performance the band met current member Aaron Warren who had recently moved from Los Angeles to attend NYU. In the spring of 1999 Sebastian left the band and Aaron joined the group.
It was around that time that the emphasis shifted from conventional song structures to more open-ended sonic investigations. Shows of this era maintained an equally physical presence through the use of high volume levels and an extreme range of frequencies, and violent performance became less frequent. The music bore more resemblance to crude first generation industrial music or contemporary power electronics than straight noise or hardcore.
By the fall of 2001 live shows had grown in length to almost five or six times of the earlier sets, with the occasional song reaching 45 minutes. An emphasis on signal processing provided a broader sonic palette. While volume and physical presence of sound remained crucial, melody and repetition became key compositional elements. The shift in focus introduced a new gentle and tuneful quality to the intense, brash music.
In spring of 2004, the band parted ways with longtime drummer and friend Hisham Bharoocha. Though a trying transition, the band continued writing, recording and touring as a three-piece. Metamorphosed once again, Black Dice emerged as a tight compositional unit, with little emphasis remaining on improvisation or long-form songs. A near-pop sensibility was embraced, with shorter and catchier tunes bouncing forth.
Visual art has been a key counterpart to the music, with all record-sleeve design made by band members. Artists Ara Peterson and Danny Perez have made videos for songs, and Mr. Perez has contributed a live video mix to the band's live set since fall of 2005. Recent releases include limited edition posters, and in summer 2005, the group released its first non-music object; a 128-page book of collage art made in collaboration with photographer Jason Frank Rothenberg. In 2007, the band made their first video with "Kokomo", a visual mash up of images culled from television and the internet.
The band has toured America and Europe dozens of times, and has visited Japan twice. In 2005, the trio recorded an album in Byron Bay, Australia following a tour. In 2006, the band played in Brazil and a live set was captured on national television in Lima, Peru. Virtually any and every type of venue has served as the backdrop for Black Dice shows; from basements and warehouses to art galleries and museums, from house shows to gigantic outdoor festivals or formal seated theaters. Placing the music in a context contrary to the average show remains a compelling inspiration for unique performances.
Oneohtrix Point Never is Daniel Lopatin, a US native whose work has brought him to the forefront of the modern electronic composition scene. Although Lopatin's rise seemed meteoric following the praise for his double disc anthology "Rifts" (coveted by the likes of Wire, Pitchfork, Fader, Guardian UK, The Quietus, and XLR8R), it is the result of a love affair with polyphonic synthesizers dating back to childhood jam sessions with his father's Juno 60; an instrument which, like B.B. King's Lucille, he has never left behind. Audiences in the last year have gravitated to OPN's profound arrangements, which manage to touch upon both mainstream and discarded electronic music histories; merging the structural freedom of noise with the abstract emotionality of work considered by many to be 'background music'; in fact his passion to find personal meaning in failed new age utopias and liminal science fiction environments often brings his compositions to the refracted brinks of minimalism, drone, proto-techno, noise and pop; clarifying the past through a blissful repetition of its' sonic signifiers. The sound of OPN is history filtered through modern process with an emphasis on structure and a humanness that resounds in its melodies; if one can communicate efficiently within the realm of electronic music, OPN reveals itself as a project with a zeal for expression, an emotive blinking light on the cold horizon. R5 Productions is pleased to present Oneohtrix Point Never's first Philadelphia performance, an area exclusive.
