Clean, fresh and happy. Variations/usages/personalizations inside…
Leaves are like fruits natural tags. And they are unique: in fact, there is not a leaf indentical to another, they are like fingerprints.�
My leaf here is composed by the two S os SpreadShirt, so that it can also be used as a standalone logo.
The two S are composed by 2 basic elements that could be used to make a lot of others funny, useful o completely useless symbols.
Watch inside!�
Two weeks ago I told you people always trust moustache. And that is true…in the West side of the World. But what about the East? Well, recent studies prove that it works quite different there. In fact, in the East, people ALWAYS trust eyebrows. They think that moustaches are something that hide the mouth while someone's talking, something deceitful. But eyebrows…eyebrows tell you what a man is really thinking. What his soul his about. And this is why you'd better be bald, to show your eyebrows. Additional description and images
Half a shirt makes a "1″ that stands for quality, reliability and solid business all in all. Look the entry to see more declinations! Additional description and images
Look inside too see nice variations and how to use them!
So easy and fun! Additional description and images
This just works, because people ALWAYS trust moustache. Additional description and images
I liked the first version but it wasn't good enough for the shortlist of wk2. So I'm trying to improve it. I hope this is an improvement, tell me what you think about! The hand-writing font is the same I used in my first logo and has the same function.
The "i" dot is also the mark (I hope this is the right word) on the shirt
I tried to convey all the most important concepts about Spread Shirt here, yet making a simple and effective logo.
A good overall image and the straight font used for "SpreadShirt" suggest the good quality and reliability of the service, while the font used for "your own label", hand-drawn-like and quite childish shows the funny side and, most of all, the possibility for everyone to make his label. The image on the side is dynamic to indicate the other priority: speed. The shirt with a arrow-head coming out from it, despite enfasizing the speed and "spread" thing, makes for a orignal and distinguishable look. the spot ond the right-bottom conveys the idea of label. A lot of concepts involved, but all suited in a simple image.
That's all, sorry for my english!

Introduction: cuntinued story of a moms lust. | ||
Mike took off for work that day and was going to be gone for a week. I spent the day trying to clear my mind on what I had done but to no avail. All I could think about was Mike eating me out this morning and me cumming and forcing out my juices mixed with his sons cum into his mouth. I got wet thinking of it. John spent most of his day playing wii or watching tv. Not even acting like anything happened. I played with myself several times during the day. It was a turn on to think of my son or one of mikes friends or his brother. Fucking me.for some reason I wanted to cheat or the thought of cheating on him turned me on. I guess after 10 years of being maried to someone that only satified himself in bed you get that way. It was getting evening and I was horny as all get out. I was watching tv with just my bath rob on and john came into the living room. He sat down beside me and started watching TV. I thought for a moment then stood up and let my rob fall off me.I pull john to his feet and he stands about my height at 5 foot and look him in the eyes. I kiss his lips as he just stands there frozen in time. I slowly get down on my knees in front of him and pull down his underwear. His dick is soft as I reach around and cup his but with my hands and pull him into my face. I fell him start to grow as I suck on him.as soon as he gets hard I have him get on the floor and I stradle him and lower myself onto his shaft.. It sends fire threw me as I rock back and forth on him.I rock and buck and scream out as I cum on my sons dick I can feel my juice running down his shaft out of me onto his balls.I lean forward breathing hard and look at my son. Mom likes it when you get hard for her baby. You make me feel so good and I kiss him passionately as I struggle to breath at the same time. John stays hard and I rool over on my back and pull him on my guiding his dick back in me I bring my knees up to my chest and put my feet on his butt and pull him into me. After a couple times I feel him get the idea and he starts working his hips in and out of me. Ohh fuck john ooh that's it baby fuck your mom pound my pussy he jerks and I feel him cum in me at the same time I do and we ly there on the floor in a poll of sweet and sex. I snap out of it and get up .I sit on the couch and cry unable to understand why I cant control my sex urges. I knew I need someone to fill in for my husband. Someone that would not tell him or anyone else. Maybe if I found someone else I could stop molesting my son. As I sat there and cried my son got up and hugged me. I told him I was sorry and he did not say a word. He just hugged his naked body up to me and slowly I stop crying and hugged him back. Mom its ok I like it when you love on me it makes me feel good. I wont tell anyone you did this. I love you. I love you to john its just not normal for mom to do that to her son.as I say this john leans in and kisses my nipple on my left breast.even in this state I watch him as he sucks and nibbles on it like he did 9 yrs ago when he was a baby. Soon I feel my body give in and I put my hand on his head and press him into me. I look down and he is hard. I lean back and he climbs ontop of me as I spread my legs and he slids into my wet pussy and starts fucking me again.I ly ther in disbelief that he likes it and is fucking me on his own. I lay there on my back and watch my son suck my tit and his cute little butt pump up and down on me. I feel him cum in me again and then feel him start going soft as he gets up I tell him to go get ready for bed. He smiles and goes gets into the shower.After he gets in bed I get dressed and sit quietly in my room. I did not get off that last time my son did. It was just him using my body like his father has. I liked it. To give myself to him and let him have his way. I drift off to sleep being totally satified and relax. The next day I wake up my son shaking my shoulder. I said what is it john. Can I have you again mom like last night? I was surprised I rolled over to talk to him but he was naked already and climbed ontop of me before I could say anything. I lay back and he was inside me that quick. He started pumping his hips in and out of me as fast as he could.and I felt him cum in less than I minute.he got up and left the room and I lay there with his cum running out of me. I think like father like son.he got me worked up just enough for me to be real horney and left. Just what I need is to be sexually frustrated all day. I get up and head for the kitchen for some coffee and I hear the door bell. I go to the door and its Billy johns best friend. Hi is john home? Yea he is in the shower come on in. i take billy by the hand and tell him to come with me and we walk down the hall to my room. we go in and i lock the door.Billy looks at me and says wher is john and i say he is in the shower now be quite i dont want him to know you are hear. i drop my robe and stand in front of him. He stared wide eyed and looked up at me. i put my fingures to my lips as to be quite and lead him to my bed.Billy is a little shorter than john and has dark hair. he cute and has a nice round butt for a 10 year old. a little chunky but i am in a lust driven craze from my son getting me started this morning. i am not thinking . my breathing was heavy as i pulled down his pants and took off his shirt. i could tell billy was imbarressed and a little scared but at that moment i did not care. i pushed him back on the bed and started sucking on his bal little dick till it got hard.it was... more to come later enjoy. |

After the warmest March on record in the United States, even more people are starting to connect the dots between climate change and this weird weather. A new poll was released today which, according the New York Times, "shows that a large majority of Americans believe that this year's unusually warm winter, last year's blistering summer and some other weather disasters were probably made worse by global warming."
Here's what the poll found: 69% of Americans believe that global warming is affecting the weather in the United States. A full 82% personally experienced extreme weather last year, and 35% were personally harmed by it.
Deniers have a lot of money sitting around to push out the belief that "the science isn't settled" or that "most people don't believe it's happening." They want to create the illusion that there is a debate about whether climate change is real and making an impact on our lives today. But what they claim has nothing to do with reality.There are a lot of controversial issues out there – gay marriage (45% for / 46% against); tax rates (48% too high / 45% about right); and even whether or not there should be a national college football championship. But climate change isn't one of them. According to the poll, the vast majority of Americans understand that climate change is happening now.
On this issue, Americans understand the reality of climate change better than our leaders. It's time for them to catch up to the rest of us.

used this with my miss jessie's leave in condish! worked flawlessly- my hair is thin and sometimes gets a little knotty, this got every knot out and didn't hurt as much as brushing
This is a great comb. It's really pointed on the tips for grabbing and getting into tangles. I have super thick hair and it's really strong, unlike other combs I've had. Love it!
I really like this comb and I would have rated it five stars if it weren't for how "pokey" the tips are. It detangles my hair nicely whether I use it in the shower or when I take my hair down for the day.
This looked like someone cut it out of a sheet of rough plastic. It was unpleasant to use, but a comb is a comb and it got the job done.
I really enjoyed this comb. I like how far apart the teeth are, and I didn't find them too sharp or pointy. I found this comb easy to work with my curly/wavy hair without disrupting my hairstyle. I would recommend this comb over the cheaper ones out there!
Nice comb. Was expecting more out of it. It is sturdy and durable, but other than that, it's a basic comb.
The teeth of this comb are thick and sharp. I tried it once and found it to be the opposite of gentle--harsh and painful.
I do not like this comb at all. It is very sharp. I avoid using it at all costs and prefer a $1 comb that I got at the, guess where, $1 store. Ooh, Miss Jessie Comb, that was a burn.
I really like this comb. I have straight/wavy hair and it seems to get pretty tangled after the shower. This comb helps goes through the hair smoothly. The ends are a bit sharp- which I'm not used to- so I just make sure to comb diagonal so as to not scratch my scalp. Great purchase!
I have lots of curly hair and thought this would be a good detangling tool. After removing it from the protective cellophane, I noticed the teeth seemed a bit sharp. First use was uncomfortable on my scalp. Second use, today, cut my hand and scalp...drew blood!!! I give up.

Much continued success.

Restaurateur Darden Restaurants Inc.'s (DRI - Analyst Report) first-quarter fiscal 2014 earnings from continuing operations of 53 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 69 cents by nearly 23.2%. Quarterly earnings were also down 37.6% from the year-ago level. Margin shortfall pressurized earnings during the quarter.
Total revenue grew 6.1% year over year to $2.16 billion, driven by new unit openings and 0.5% same-restaurant sales growth in the Specialty Restaurant Group. However, revenues also fell shy of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.18 billion.
Operational Highlights
The company owns and operates restaurant chains such as Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse and The Specialty Restaurant Group.
Combined comps at the company's three core brands – Olive Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn Steakhouse – were down 3.3%. Comps declined 4.0% at Olive Garden and 5.2% at Red Lobster. Only LongHorn Steakhouse managed to post comps growth of 3.2%.
Olive Garden's sales were down 0.4% year over year to $918 million in the first quarter, owing to a 4.0% decline in comps.
Sales at Red Lobster decreased 5.5% to $624 million due to a 5.2% decline in U.S. comps and closure of one unit.
At LongHorn Steakhouse, sales were up 14.2% to $325 million. As many as 47 net new restaurants and 3.2% improvement in comps contributed to the upside.
Sales at The Specialty Restaurant Group increased sharply by 72.7% to $282 million, thanks to comps growth of 3.2% at The Capital Grille, 2.7% at Bahama Breeze and 2.1% at Eddie V's, However, Seasons 52 and Yard House were laggards in the quarter having registered a respective decline of 4.4% and 1.5% in comps. Net new unit openings, sales gain from 40 Yard House restaurants and the opening of 6 Yard House restaurants since its acquisition also helped drive comps.
Guidance for 2014
Darden expects the business environment to remain sluggish in fiscal 2014. According to the company, consumers have become extremely value-sensitive and economic recovery will be slow.
Orlando, FL-based Darden reiterated its expectation for blended comps growth for its three core brands in the range of flat to up 2%.
Despite lower-than-expected first quarter results, the company has maintained its earlier guidance of a 3% - 5% year-over-year decline in earnings per share. Tough year-over-year comparison is expected to lead to this decline.
Darden plans to reduce its annualized operating support spending by approximately $50 million through layoffs and lower program spending. Of the anticipated gains, $25 million will be realized in fiscal 2014. However, Darden will incur $10 million in expenses this fiscal to execute its plan.
Our Take
Darden failed to maintain the momentum of the last quarter, in which it recorded positive comps growth at all its restaurants. Slower macroeconomic recovery, adverse impact of the Affordable Care Act and faltering consumer confidence are expected to be headwinds for fiscal 2014.
Although Darden undertook a set of initiatives to boost its business, we remain skeptical until definitive signs of improvement are noticed.
Darden currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Stocks in the restaurant industry that are currently performing well include CEC Entertainment Inc. (CEC - Snapshot Report), AFC Enterprises Inc. (AFCE - Snapshot Report) and Domino's Pizza Inc. (DPZ - Analyst Report) all carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Did you know that every 25 seconds an American will have a coronary event? According to the January press released from CDC, Center for Disease Control & Prevention, Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in America, which is why Congress, by Joint Resolution approved in 1963, has requested that the President issue an annual proclamation designating February as "American Heart Month". There are a number of risk factors associated with heart disease; high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, tobacco use, and even secondhand smoke. According to the CDC there are daily food choices we can make to live a heart healthy lifestyle: choose lean meats and poultry, select fat-free, 1% fat and low-fat dairy products, reduce trans fat, aim to eat less than 300 mg of cholesterol each day, cut back on food & beverages with added sugars, and choose and prepare food with little or no salt to name a few.

Everything you need to safely run this inflatable is included in the price, mats, stakes, an electric blower and a nice long 25M extension lead. You can be assured we're covered too, as we hold a comprehensive Public Liability Insurance Policy.
Once you've decided where you wish to place this inflatable our friendly and experienced staff will do the rest, delivering, inflating and securing it before thoroughly testing it for safety. You won't need to worry about a thing.
Don't forget that it's difficult for us to deliver ready-inflated. With so many inflatables we'd probably run out of puff if we had to blow them up ourselves! So you will need electricity to power the blower, alternatively we can provide a generator for a small extra fee.
Do double check though that your space is big enough and the access to your space is suitable for us to get it in! We'll be expecting a nice clear space which is free of any thing which could be of danger to anyone using the inflatable, or could damage it. For full details on what you'll need, see below or feel free to contact us.
Price shown includes hire of equipment for up to 8hrs. You'll need to add the cost of Delivery, Set up & Collection and supervision if required.
More Details: 12 x 18 Celebrations Bouncy Castle with Slide
Children up to the age of around ten (click 'more information' below for height / age guide) will love this inflatable. We have Bounce & Slides in various themes to suit all parties, see Bounce & Slides for more.
Children enter through the opening on the front, have a spacious bouncing area inside and a slide which they can climb up and exit through... That's before they go straight back in and do it all again!
We include everything you need as standard such as safety mats and an extension lead, you just need to provide a suitable space and electricity. Before you hire, be sure to double check the unit's dimensions and access requirements by clicking more information below. For an extensive, fool proof list of what you'll need, please see our Minimum Requirements.

Forum > Should Nelson Cruz be traded?
his bb and k rate are horrendous this season. he has a war of 1.0 and he's the team's second worst player next to david murphy. do you think he'll be sent down? he's extremely frustrating to watch.
Check out his RBI and Home Runs, for the last month, against the WHOLE MLB field.
Then come back and tell us again... why he should be traded. He's always been streaky.
Bang for the buck? That guy is a bargain. He is not getting younger, and tends to have his ham-string injuries often. But, he is very productive. Look at others with his numbers, and then compare salaries. I think we do need a stud 4th outfielder as insurance. Is Murphy "it"?
Ricky -
No need for you and I to have any discussions/debate concerning WAR or any other numbers/metrics on this one. Your question (paraphrased):
"Is David Murphy a stud 4th outfielder?"
Cruz is only hitting .220 away from BPIA. He's also injury-prone. On the other hand we need his righty power bat, and he's a good defender. He might not be a 3-4-5 hitter because he doesn't hit for average and K's a ton, but he's a nice complementary bat to have in the 6th or 7th spot for sure, not to mention he's cheap..
Caleb - We debated one time, albeit for two days. I respect your opinion. And there was some sarchasm in the question I posed. We need a stud RH 4th outfielder... I think. Who would you propose? Kristen - Excellent description.
Heck no!! How would you replace his offensive production? Beltran can't even put up Cruz's numbers. Keep Cruz because he is on the cusp of figuring it out. Plus he has an amazing throwing arm.
Hey, the guy is streaky. We have become accustom to it. When he is slow, he is still producing. When he is hot? There is almost none better.
Ricky -
I know - sarcasm here too...
Realistically, in a 4th OF the basic economics is going to make it tough to find a true stud, as they will want playing time and you really don't want to pay them stud money to be a 4th OF.
I am actually OK w/ Gentry as the 4th OF bc he is cheap and reasonably productive both defensively and offensively. If we could upgrade for the next few seasons, I like the Colby Rasmus idea that someone floated on here not long ago, provided St. Louis truly is frustrated w/ him and will unload on the cheap.
And who would replace him? Murph? Gentry? Moreland? He's had the 2nd most RBI's in the MLB since he came off the DL...2nd only to Hambone. It's been my impression that RBI's win games...
If we're going to sell/trade outfielders, I'd look to deal Murphy before Cruz.
Caleb - You're right Gentry is the fastest guy on the team, so defensively I dig him. His offense is acceptable and he seems to be showing improvement the longer he stays up here. I too like Rasmus, but not the idea that commenter had to make him an everyday CF. He'd make a great corner guy and 4th OF. He'd see plenty of time even as a 4th OF.
hell no. cruz is fine, i dont care what WAR tells you.. guy gets big hits, plays solid defense, and has a plus arm. we have far bigger fish to fry in terms of upgrading than in the right field position.
What Trey said.
And we would all love to deal Murphy - problem is he would only return a sack of bats at this point...
Ricky -
Yes, Rasmus only as 4th OF - Martin is our future CF for sure.
@Caleb: you don't think we could get someone to throw in a bucket of baseballs and a piece of equipment to be named later?
Caleb -
It'd be nice to make Murphy part of a trade for Rasmus. Both are arb eligible next year and both FA in 2015. Problem is, Murphy makes about 5 times more per year this year. So Murphy, eat some of his salary, and who for Rasmus?
I don't think we should look at trading Cruz, but if we went and got Beltran, Cruz could be sent to Atlanta for a starter (Jurrjens, Lowe, Beachy) then Martin could come up and man CF later in July.
Murph needs to go, he has been treading water here for the last couple of years showing no sign of improvement. i say give him a chance to go somewhere else as a trade chip to where he can contribute more and maybe bring us some help in the bullpen or at one of our other needs.
Forget about Beltran... Please.
Andy -
Probably not a bucket , but maybe a dozen baseballs (BP quality, not gameballs).
Ricky -
I would say no more than a C or B- level prospect, preferably not a pitcher - but certianly not a pitcher w/ starting potential. If that's not enough, then he really isnt a bargain - so not worth messing with. And I'm not sure they would even want Murphy, but provided they did - I would propose eating no more than 1/2 his salary.
I would trade with atlanta for one of their pitchers even lowe on the low end (no pun intended) on one condition, the trade involves McCann. We desperately need a good reliable Catcher for the future and nobody brings it like McCann. Calls a good game, arm on par w Cruz, and a way above par bat for a C. he's the key in any atlanta trade.
Dcaggie, why would ATL who's contending for a playoff spot trade their starting C if he's as good as you say? Why do people just assume anyone can be dealt for?
Caleb -
I would assume they would want a proven outfielder in return. Murphy has some skins on the wall.
And how about someone who would fit their weakness in the near future... Renny Osuna?
DC - I still contend if you project Napoli's numbers as if he were the full-time catcher, you would be amazed offensively. Combine that with the fact that he has the lowest ERA with pitchers out of all three catchers? I think Napoli is the guy. The Angels have catcher problems and are kicking themselves now, wishing they had Nap. Yet we don't use him to his potential.

We've had many eczema sufferers use our goat milk soap and report relief from their eczema symptoms. We recommend you try the following soaps to see if they relieve your eczema symptoms:
Purity goat milk soap - an unscented soap that is very gentle for eczema prone skin.
Purity Scrub goat milk soap - the same as the purity, but has rolled oats added to benefit the skin. The rolled oats are not scratchy, but are bumpy in the soap.
Organic Castile goat milk soap - made with organic extra virgin olive oil and raw goat milk, this soap will not lather as well as the purity (it is more lotion like), but is the gentlest soap we make and the one we recommend for hyper-sensitive skin and for newborns.
Tea Tree goat milk soap - made with tea tree oil, which is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal, this has helped many people with their eczema symptoms.
In addition to full sized bars, each of these soaps is available in half bars, so you can test them on your skin. We recommend that you start with the purity or purity scrub and if you need further relief, to try the organic castile or tea tree.
We've put together the four bars that most help eczema in a Problem Skin Pack. We also have a Sensitive Skin Pack that is very helpful.
Some people have found that once they get their eczema under control, they are able to switch to a scented soap. Others remain using one of these soaps. You need to test them on your skin to see what works best for you. If the soaps don't offer enough erelief, you may want to try our laundry soap to get all the chemical detergents out of your sheets, clothes, and towels that are being used on your skin.
Here are a few testimonials from customers who suffered with eczema:
This soap works well on ANY skin! It is the best thing ever to use on someone that has eczema. It is amazing.
-Kaye 2/4/2012
Castile soap is the best for
newborns! Then switching to Purity after 6 months is my recommendation. GMS is
the way to go! Their soap saved my daughters skin from
-Ellie 2/1/2012
I just put away all our regular soaps and shampoos and we now only have GMS in our shower :) It has done wonders for my 4mo old who has eczema and the rest of the family loves it too. We use the Organic Castle and the Shampoo bar. Love your stuff! I've convinced my parents to use it too :)
Danielle 1/29/2012
I'm amazed at how much it has helped my eczema in just one month's time. Thank you so much for such a great product! :)
-Julie 1/8/2012
WOW! That was fast! I received my first order of goat milk soap in the mail today and I already washed my face with it! I am looking forward to bathing my son with the purity soap tonight. He has eczema and I am hoping this soap will make it go away :)
-Angie 12/21/2011
Hi, I use your purity lotion stick on my 4 month with eczema and I it works wonders!
-Iris 12/18/2011
I've been meaning to write and tell you how much I love your soap. My bad eczema is slowly going away and I've only been using the soap for about 2 weeks! Thank you for such a wonderful product!! :)
-Julie 12/17/2011
So I go to mailbox and my gms order arrived! I ripped open the package like a 10 year old child then immediately ran a tub full of water and settled in for a soak and scrub with my new bar of oatmeal scrub soap! It felt amazing on my dry winter skin and soothed my patches of eczema thanks sooo much PJ and family!
-Cynthia 12/5/2011
I had eczema that even top dermatologists couldn't cure. It is now much better after using this soap for 6 months. Good luck!! :)
-Julie 12/4/2011
My son and myself both have eczema, but 2 different kinds. Mine only affects my hands and I've found that the purity scrub works best for me. We've tried the purity, purity scrub, and organic Castile on my son and the purity works best with him. His eczema is pretty severe also (has prescription creams for it). Within just a day of using the purity soap his eczema was clearing up. I use it every night on him in the bath and now his eczema is pretty much gone. I will never use another soap on him. This soap really does work wonders. ?
-Jessica 12/3/2011
My daughter had horrible eczema the first 2 years of her life. She was prescribed lotion but I was lucky enough to meet the Jonas' at an art fair and bought several bars of soap. Literally after the first bath, her arm was better and it was gone completely in less than a week. I started using it as well (very addicting) and now I don't even need to buy lotion. I've tried many goat milk soaps....but these seen to work like magic. Oh....I used oatmeal, milk, and honey on my daughter at first but none of them irritate her.
-Kali 12/3/2011
Well I have eczema and thought I was going to die from scratching my self. I was so uncomfortable. I tried everything, and nothing worked. Then one day I was searching the web and found Goatmilkstuff. com. I ordered 4 bars of purity soap. I was amazed at after 1 shower how soft my skin was and guess what I didn't ich. BIG plus. I try not to use any chemicals in my lotion. So between my goatmilk soap and lotion I have softer skin and have my eczema under control for the 1st time in yrs. So GET the goatmilk soap, you will be so happy you did, since it's so worth it and you wont go back to using any other soap. I sure wont!!!!!!!
-Rita 12/3/2011
My son is 2 and had a horrible case of eczema a few months ago. I put out the cry for help on Facebook and a few friends recommended Goat Milk Stuff. We purchased a bar of the tea tree oil soap, and within 2 weeks, his skin was soft and clear! As we live close by, we made a trip to the farm and received a warm welcome and a full tour from some of the children. And of course we stocked up on tea tree oil soap while we were there! It's the only soap we use for my son now, and his skin has remained eczema free since October. We hope to visit again before Christmas! Thanks so much!
-Sulena 12/3/2011
I also recommend the unscented lotion stick for those patches. As soon as my daughter starts to itch in eczema prone areas, I tell her to go get the lotion stick and she can do it herself, she's only 5. It actually stops the break out. Eczema itches before it even shows up. My son is almost two and he has it too, but his skin has never broken out as bad as my daughter did, because we are using the soaps and the lotion stick. Next step is to get a lotion tub! It also works good on those winter clown lips.
-Sara 12/3/2011
We got to visit a local goat farm today where they make goat milk soap. We love Goat Milk Stuff! The tea tree oil soap has totally cleared my son's eczema in just a few short weeks. We loved meeting the goats, and the Jonas children were very knowledgeable about the animals and gave us a great tour. If you're having any skin issues, give this soap a try!
-Jain 10/29/2011
Oh my. Our sons skin was actually soft. You could see his eczema spots were light pink but they looked soothed. So excited to see how they look after a week!! Thank you thank you!!
-Charlene 10/27/2011
It's been a while since I've placed an order and my skin is hating me for it. Your soap is the best. I have a dear friend who has the worst eczema...so does her 9 yr old little girl. I am going to give them the travel bars...as I am not sure what scent they would like. I have told her all about you, and your amazing family.
So you will have a new customer. Thanks PJ...xo
-Kim 8/9/2011
Your soaps are wonderful! Best of all, my daughter's eczema, which required constant application of an expensive prescription cream, has disappeared. With your goat milk soap, we save money, have soft skin and the whole family smells great. Thank you again,
-Nina 7/31/2011
I got my order and like a 10 year old ran from mailbox immediately filling my tub with water. I ripped open package and sank into a luxurious bath with my new bar of honey oatmeal soap ahhhhh! My dry winter skin and eczema thank you and all your goats!
-Cynthia 12/15/2011
My son had eczema pretty bad and I just had extremely dry skin. we've been using GMS for two years now and noticed improvement in just a month. we started my son on purity. then tried oatmeal milk and honey. He had no reaction so we started different scents. His skin is so soft and smooth. These soaps are
the best :)
Frances 12/3/2011
I received the soap I ordered today and used it right away..wow what a difference in one use..my eczema and psoriasis are looking and feeling better this evening..And the hard water didn't seem to make a difference, the soap worked great..I may have nice skin again for Christmas..thank you so much..
Arlinda 12/14/2011
We started with the purity soap on my child w/eczema and myself (psoriasis) we can personally use any of them. We also like to use the lotion sticks - it works great for those "spots."
Jessica 12/3/2011
I have eczema and contact allergies and use the purity soap. It's wonderful. I also love the unscented lotion, lip balm and detergent. A few summers ago I was in a clinical trial and discovered that my skin responds well to Neosalus foam. It's really expensive and requires a prescription but has been worth it for me. I also take allergy medication, Allegra, which helps with the contact allergies. I avoid using unnecessary skin products, try to wear cotton against my skin and avoid potentially irritating fabrics.
-Andrea 12/3/2011
I work as a nurse, and have had eczema on my hands for years - much worse in the winter. I tried a local goats milk soap and lotion and they were good, but PJ's is much much better. I only use Goats Milk Stuff soap for my face and body. Family hasn't converted yet, but my daughter's boyfriend LOVES the shaving soap. I gave a bar to my boss who recently had double mastectomy - as a nice natural soap for her skin. She sent me a note saying how much she loved it. I rarely use lotion, and the dry elbows I had are gone - with only this soap.

ABA program in school
For the purpose of this research one set of questionnaires had been handed out to each family having a child attending the particular school, summing up to a total of fifteen questionnaires. At the intended end of the time period fixed to participate seven of the fifteen forms have been returned properly by the parents. As one of it was completely blank and therefore of no applicability it was removed and excluded from further processing. The six remaining questionnaires made up an answer rate of 40% in total, what seems more than reasonable for a study of this size and give a good research basis.
The first question which looked at the relation between the voluntary participant of the research study and the child attending the school revealed that all six individuals who choose to take part are the child's mothers. There was not one single father, legal guardian, foster carer or otherwise related person involved.
The different answers to question number two discloses that all six children of the participants are aged between 9 and 10 years,� with the youngest being 9 years and 2 months old and the eldest 10 years and 8 months. No parents/carers of younger children choose to take part in the study, and those of older children are unlikely to be involved with the school as it is for primary students only.
Question three tried to find out if parents/carers with children attending the ABA lead school do have further children with additional needs to look after. Only one mother reports that her autistic child has a 13-year old brother also with autism and additionally severe learning difficulties as well as Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). All other 5 women confirmed not having another child with special needs; one even mentioning to have a neurologically typical (NT) daughter aged 12.
The questions number four focused on how parents/carers found out or heard about the specific school providing an applied behaviour analysis approach. Two out of the six participants were advised by friends about the school, one mother states that it was her child's doctor/therapists suggestion and one parent refers back to the PEACH charity. Further two parents mention the World Wide Web as their source and one of them additionally heard from the school through another school offering the same approach.
Following up the last question, query number five further investigates why those parents finally chose this bespoken school. Parents responses do not yield apart very far from each other: either an ABA lead school was clearly the first choice of education for their autistic child or because an ABA approach is already established at a home programme and the benefits and advantages of carrying on the same approach is obvious. Further the participants highlight their strong believe and favour in such an individual educational plan and the given individual attention, no progress at other special educational institutions/with other interventions such as TEAACH or the Local Authority only willing to fund an ABA school programme (but not an ABA home programme as initial wished).
The time the children of the research attendants are already being educated in the chosen school varies between just under half a year (5 months) and 5 years (5 years and 4 months) as certified by point 6. The maximum time a child can follow the programme in this school is from age 4 to 11.
Starting with query seven, the focus shifted a bit more towards ABA in detail. First, the participants were asked to rate their own knowledge of this therapy form for their autistic children and therefore were given a scale covering different - from expert knowledge, over solid understanding to not familiar at all - levels of understanding. Expect one answer, all reflect an own evaluation of a very good understanding of the principals of ABA by the parents. One mother rates her knowledge lower than the other, stating she has only some knowledge.
An overview of previous experience and of what kind before the child started to attend the school offering an ABA programme was the aimed outcome of question number eight. In general, 5 out of the 6 carers confirm previous experience within the applied behaviour field; only one parent had his first engagement with ABA just with his child's entrance into school. Four of the already ABA experienced families gained their knowledge and skills through earlier established ABA home programs - following it between six years, four years, two years� and six months. One of those families additionally applied different other, more specialized forms of ABA, such as "leap" led ABA, independent VB program and Lovaas. The sixth participating family had their child placed in another ABA lead school before and where therefore familiar with the principals.
The next two questions (ninth and tenth) in the form were asked to analyze any improvements and difficulties recognized by the parents in the children's development since they started to follow the ABA approach at the school. Improvements in communication (four times) including speech/language (twice), manding (once), signing (twice), understanding (once) and vocalization (twice), behaviour (three times) and self-help skills/self-dependence (three times) were noticed mostly by parents. Further, progress in social skills was mentioned by two mothers. Other positive appearances were reported by the carers in the field of reading/writing/mathematics, confidence and awareness.
Regarding difficulties that may arise, parents were directly asked what kind of problems they have experienced since sending their child to the particular school. Although one mother noticed a bad (new) behaviour - biting nails - with her child (she assumes triggered through frustration or imagination), all participants reported no (significant) developed mental issues with their children.
The eleventh question directed to the parents/carers aimed to evaluate the usage of ABA outside of school hours. Although the major part (five of them) of the volunteers of the research study do follow an ABA program at home for their child, the intensity, chosen level of input and the applied principles vary greatly from family to family. The intensity of additional ABA principles outside of school hours chosen by the individual parents ranges from a broad coverage of around 80% of all the time the child is at home over to about 12 additional hours under the week to less intense evening and/or weekend top-ups only to some families using ABA only for some single principles such as toilet training or behaviour teaching. The parents who decided too also follow an ABA approach at home state do so mainly as they believe that this creates more routine and consistence and less confusion for their children and would lead to better outcomes in communication, homework, daily tasks and their general approach to the child. In overall they choose additional ABA hours at home as kind of a safety net and to generalize what is taught at school.
With the next question (twelve) parents/carers were confronted with the inquiry if and what could/would change their idea about using the amount of ABA outside school they are currently using. From the five families applying ABA at home as well, one family thinks that ABA could be helpful during holidays, especially useful with social skills and behaviour issues, but although they would like to increase their current ABA usage they also feel that their child needs proper holidays and therefore they simple lack enough amount of time for more hours of the home programme. Another parent would also be open to increase the outside of school hours with ABA, but clearly says that they need more training and proper support to realise this step. A further family is happy with their arrangement at the moment, but if a new behaviour would emerge or a particular task to tackle they might consider additional hours of ABA outside school, although they are aware that it would be very difficult to find the necessary time for doing so. One party would not change their current input at all and the only family not using ABA at home at all is also confident with their choice, not planning any implementation of ABA outside of school so far. One parent did choose not to reply to this point.
The thirteenth and last question directed to the parents/carers of the autistic children attending the school offering an ABA approach summarizes that four out of the six parents have tried other intervention than ABA at home, including gluten casein free diet and OT sensory diet, the son rise program and Relationship Development Intervention (RDI by Gutstein).
Two mothers made usage of the provided space for personal comments, suggestions or individual opinions. Both of them particularly highlight the progress done by their children by being in an stable ABA program in school as well as at home, and they also refer back to their children's education before they came to the specific school and their negative experiences with the local special needs schools. One of the respondents mentions that one big issue for parents not being more involved in their children's ABA program might be their unavailability and possibility to bring and pick up their children to and from school, and thus not being able to communicate to the school's ABA team, ask for advice or work closer together.�
Questionnaires have not only been distributed to parents/carers of children attending the particular school, but as well too in total 23 teachers/therapists/otherwise specified school staff. After the previously agreed time for responding of four to six weeks thirteen out of the 23 school's employees had opted-in for the research study and handed in a completed form. This respectful return rate (56.52 %) well exceeds the 50 percent mark.
The first question on this questionnaire which aimed to figure out how long and in what position the participants have been and are involved with the ABA program, presents that nearly all of them are teachers (twelve out of thirteen) and only one participant falls into the category of "otherwise specified staff". Their involvement covers a range from as short as ten months to the longest period of eleven years (an average of ...).
Question number two leaded directly to ABA and reveals that the 13 participants do see a quite huge variety of limitations and risk associated with the applied behaviour analysis approach. The main concern seems to lie in the very rigid way such an approach is conducted and in the many existent misconceptions, and that, if not applied properly ABA could rather be detrimental to a child's progress than adjuvant. Further, some teachers express their fear that an autistic child could easily become prompt dependent on one-to-one support, which in turn might restrict his social skills development. Other points mentioned are the strength put on families due to the high intensity of such a program, the lack of secondary provision when children leave the primary only ABA lead school, the difficulties in the consistency with highly specific procedures and to follow through consequences and reinforcement. Additionally one teacher highlights the fact that ABA is not suitable for all autistic children of all levels.
The participants' answers to query number three seems quite concordant, with most of them agreeing that the knowledge of parents do vary immensely. While some parents do have a good to high understanding of the ABA philosophy in general and the principles in particular, others do not have it at all - the point done by some of the teachers at this stage is that the more parents are interested and thus also involved in their child's ABA program, the higher is their knowledge in turn. The answers also emphasise that although some parents are (very) knowledgeable, they find it difficult to apply principles properly everyday, need more training to continue the program outside school and often struggle with English as a second language barrier. One of the teachers/school staff rate the parents' knowledge as being 25 % present and 60 % non-present, while three out of the thirteen feel parental interest in ABA as hardly to none existent.
Question four was directly related to the above question, and so are the different answers. Again there is a consensus between the participants of this research study that parental involvement with the ABA school program depends mostly on their interest in general; the more interest they show, they more they are likely to get involved. Additionally researcher particularly highlight that the school constantly keeps the families up to date regarding their children's behaviour plan and individual ABA plan, but not all choose to follow through it and even the more interested parents need lots to encouragement to involve themselves in their child's program. The degree of parental involvement in the eyes of the school's employees varies greatly from 60 % involved to one third are involved over to "as much as they can be involved" to "not that involved" or "little to none involved" and even "majority not involved".
Within query five teachers were asked to rate the importance of the parent's involvement in ABA outside school hours from their point of view as professionals. Eleven of them declare additional ABA hours at home as quite, very and even highly important for a success as this approach only works effectively when done consistently over a child's day/week. As parents know their children best, with an extra ABA home program they can provide not only this consistency, but also continuity and generalization of skills taught in school. One person mentions the specific importance of ABA in the initially stages of implementation (first 2 years) and also states that the need to carry on ABA out of school hours may depend on the individual needs of the child. Another individual notes that although a general understanding of ABA principals may well be of advantage, a solid comprehension of the child's behaviour and skills it much more relevant.
The following two questions (number six and seven) focused on the teachers/school staff perception of advantages/opportunities as well as disadvantages/risks for the autistic children to be exposed to ABA not only in school but also in additional home programs. Extracted from the given answers the clearly advantages mostly referred to are the higher consistency across school and home and the generalization of social, language and independent skills and behaviour. The teachers see the benefits of additional ABA hours at home not only in the reinforcement what a child learned at school, but also in the possibility of a better structure to establish routines. Those in turn are beneficial for the autistic children to better understand and know what is expected from them and what behaviour is acceptable. Further, advantages in the reduction of unpleasant behavior and reinforcement of desired behaviour as well as developed independent skills and socialization show up on the replies to the question. Opportunities for practice and parental training are mentioned as well.
The main risks in parents following an ABA home program identified by this group of participants are the consequences of the lack of correct training, missing supervision by qualified professionals, inconsistency as well as misunderstood/misapplied/misused principles and procedures. All this can confuse children as they have to deal with inconsistent approach, hindering advancement and successfulness, undesired behaviour might be instilled and earlier learned skills unlearnt. The schools' employees also mention the very rigid and restrictive traces of ABA and the possible interlinked side effects of missing time to focus on socialization and overburden for the children. Further they point out that ABA is a highly structured approach not treating children in a neutral, normal way and creating an "unrealistic" world for them. Thus it becomes very difficult to them to develop flexibility and dangerous to become easily prompt and one-to-one dependant. Only two respondents do not see any disadvantages/risks in ABA.
With answers to question number eight, teachers/school employees try to list up reasons why they think that parents/carers do not follow the ABA program at home. The main barriers, mentioned from over half of the participants, include time constraints/busy lifestyles and the lack of knowledge/resources: parents too often simple do not fully understand the supporting principles of ABA and do not know the correct procedures to deal with it. Further counting to the top problems of such a rigid approach is the obvious non-practicality of such a program, the complication of family life and having other children (not following ABA) to look after - it is very difficult to set� and follow one set of rules for on child and another set for another child. Two teachers touch the point that families sometimes just do not follow the ABA approach at home as they simply disagree with it or do not fully belief and trust it - the example is given that it is very hard for parents to cope with tantrums/negative behaviour and parents do not always appreciate that ignoring an undesirable behaviour will eventually lead to its extinction/replace it with more acceptable/sociable behaviour. This is due the natural of parent to wish to discipline their children. Not enough school-parental relationship/communication, lack of awareness, information and understanding of the importance of consistency and missing interest in additional work at home are other points referred to in the questionnaire. One answer simple says: "With proper support there is no reason not to implement an ABA home program".
With the last question (ninth) the researcher tried to find out what the school staff would recommend as a better support and encouragement for parents in behavioural management of their autistic children at home. The responses are clear and mainly contain the suggestion of regular training classes/workshops/lectures for the parents, repetitive meetings in school and opportunities of school-based observation and enforced home visits/home intervention programs by teachers and ABA consultants. The participating teachers also clearly say that a much better relationship between school and families is needed as well as a more open communication so that parents can ask for help, are given constant advice and are more confident with home visits - those are already offered by the school, but not all parents make usage of it or do allow it.

If you had all the resources you need to bring your entrepreneurial dreams to fruition -- accessible at your fingertips -- what would that do for your ability to contribute to the world?

And I'm determined to change that! You're About To Discover The Single Most Powerful Vehicle To Create Financial Freedom With NO Money and NO Risk... No Matter What Your Business Background! If you're reading this letter, chances are you're in one of three places: 1. You're doing well and making money and know you can do better, but how do you get to that next level?

You want a higher quality of life. You want to spend more time doing what you love in life, and less time worrying about how to pay for it. Well, that's exactly what I deliver. I Am Interested In Only One Thing -- Getting YOU The Results You Want. So if creating wealth with joint ventures is this easy, then why isn't everyone doing it? The sad truth is that most people live out their lives like the old Irish lady that wanted to go to America. She was very poor and so she saved up all her money for a long time and bought a lot of food and a ticket on a ship to cross the ocean to start her new life. When she got into her cabin on the ship with her food, she was very excited. She locked the door, stayed in her cabin and ate when she was hungry. As time went by, she started to run out of food. Eventually, she had no food left and she was starving! She became so desperate that she finally unlocked the door of her cabin, crept out and saw long tables, stacked high with the most delicious, sumptuous dishes of food she had ever seen. Trembling from weakness and fear, she timidly asked one of the servers if she might just have a few leftovers, as her food had run out and she was starving. The kindly server replied, "Madam, when you bought your ticket for this cruise, it included all the food you could eat! You could walk around anywhere you like on the ship, enjoy all the amenities and luxuries, and eat whatever you like. You don't have to stay locked up in your cabin, starving. Come and eat!" Many of us have limited ourselves because we didn't understand business and money and Joint Ventures. As one of my mentors says: The fact is that you don't have money problems -- There's more than enough money out there for you. All the money, all the resources and skills you need, are, in fact, readily available to you. FAST. The way to expand and grow your bottom line (yes, it's all about PROFIT, not sales, not ego, not size of business - just after tax, bottom line, real PROFIT) is available to you right now. So if you're tired of pounding the pavement all day, only to barely pay the bills... if you're sick of scouring for leads at networking meetings where everyone is only out for themselves to sell sell sell... and in the back of your mind you feel there's got to be a much more satisfying, joyful way to create wealth and achieve your dreams... Then what I'm about to share with you could be the "diamond" that puts you on a solid path to living your ultimate dream and creating a legacy for yourself. If you . . .
Then you are invited to discover the simplest, fastest, most effective system devised to date—to create real, solid wealth from the ground up...no matter where you're starting out! As I said before, there is no such thing as a money problem, we only have thinking problems. Simply change the way you think about happiness, money, business... and everything else in your life will follow. All it takes to create tremendous wealth is a wealthy mindset. Open your mind, think out of the box, and there's no limit to what you can create! Forget about pushing your business cards, forget about your canned "elevator speech," and forget about what you want! (News Flash: NOBODY CARES ANYWAY!) Start looking for ways to get other people what they want... Then get paid to deliver! Oh, and here's the good news... sorry... GREAT news -- you let someone else do all the work, carry all the risk and cost and pay YOU for the privilege! That's right - Joint Ventures offer you the opportunity to earn a significant, even unlimited amount of money by brokering deals and connecting people. See, you do that anyway, don't you? Problem is, you're not getting paid for it, are you? Oh no, you're Mr. or Mrs. Nice Guy. Mr Social Worker, right? You think people will reciprocate but they don't. They take the business and often don't even take the time to thank you. But you keep on giving and not getting. Time To Change. Time To Get PAID.

It's NBA Playoffs time and it's still a bummer that the Golden State Warriors aren't in it and are not even close to becoming any type of playoff team. But every time the playoffs rolls around, I remember the last time the Warriors made the playoffs. I remember that "We Believe" team five years ago and being part of that magical crowd.
I grew up a Warriors fans ever since I learned to pick up a basketball. Since basketball ended up being my first love, it still holds a special place in my heart. And since the Warriors were the local team, they became the team I followed.
Naturally, like many other Warriors fans, it sucked to see the team struggle every year. But during the 2006-07 season, it became magic for us fans. The crazy run and gun offense of the Warriors led by Don Nelson gave the fans something to cheer about again. And when the team made the playoffs, we were ready to rock the house.
I think I woke up at 6AM the day playoff tickets went on sale. Maybe I got up earlier, I don't know. At the time, I was still a student at SJSU so I had to drive up from the South Bay to get to Oracle Arena. It was cold. The line was long. It was three hours of boredom. But as the line started to move, I started to worry. Would I be able to get a ticket before they sold out?
Since Game 3 and Game 4 tickets were the only tickets available to buy, I ended up realizing that I had to buy tickets for both games. The max amount of tickets purchased per transaction was eight, so I decided to buy four for each game.
When I approached the box office window, I asked for the four tickets for Game 3 and four tickets for Game 4. The four tickets I got for Game 3 were in the nosebleeds but I didn't care. (As you can see by my video, we upgraded ourselves to some empty, unoccupied seats in the second half.) As for the Game 4 tickets, those were standing room only. I bought them and I was told that I had bought the LAST tickets available. The people behind me would not get any. WOW!
Game 3 to me was magic. I had been to many Warriors game but the electricity was phenomenal. It also was so great to see the Warriors come out and play well and dominate. Since the Dubs stole Game 1, the belief that they could win the series was reality to us. And throughout Game 3, I couldn't stop cheering. I don't think I sat down in the second half. I was just full of excitement.
The Warriors that playoff run received national attention and the world realized that we were the best fans in the league. (And the fact that it was the #8 seed doing some big things helped too.)
Game 4 was a nailbiter and since it was standing room only, I had to stand throughout the entire game. But it was all good. Seeing Baron making the half court shot and then the great defense at the end. I was so juiced to be there. And it was nice to take my dad to Game 4 too. He's not a huge basketball fan but I knew that it would have been nice for him to experience a playoff game in any sport. Glad he was there with me.
I didn't get a chance to go to Game 6, the clincher. But it doesn't matter. That playoff run, especially the two games I went to, was the best experience I ever had as a fan in any sport. The Bay Area was engulfed by this team. Everybody was on the Warriors bandwagon and it was just so much fun.
I usually left my night classes early just to find a way to catch the Warriors at the end of their playoff games against Utah. But it was OK because I was experiencing something I had never experienced before.
Looking back, I can't believe it's been five years. The team hasn't been to the playoffs since and the roster has completely changed. But that moment in time to me was a magical ride I'll never forget. I do hope the next time the Warriors make the playoffs, that magic is there again. But this time, the team wins the championship. I still believe.

A bit of 'me' time on the water before another weekend of teaching. I say 'me' but an afternoon with good friend Warren. I have to be honest fishing on my lonesome I do not enjoy in the least.
I have a camera in tow instead of fishing gear. If I fancied a chuck, Warren was happy to share.
Kicking off downstream and before I was all set, he'd nailed 2 fish before the lens cap was off…
I could do no more than fire the shutter from some way back before this scurried from his grasp.
Normally both nymphing freaks we were determined to focus on dry fly, in particular Warrens 'PMDIAMF'. Bright sky and the warmth of a recently discovered sun, we observed numerous rises from some determined fish.
We were finding some really pretty fish in very shallow marginal water mid river.
Can I have a chuck?… switching places I'm good to go upon the next rise.
A few covers and having missed several opportunities, this one came right out of the blue.
So sweet and plumptuous!
We switch back… 'It's my ball'
The man's on fine form and plucks this from the tightest of spots… plumpalitious!
Surrounded by vibrant, blossoming foliage… at last.
It's alright for you frolicking in blossoming foliage, I'm on my ruddy knees here.
The last of a spiffing afternoon. Blessed be this weather.
Coming to ranunculi near you… they're cute now… but just you wait!
So briefly to the weekend and ventures on the river for Matt & Steve.
Matt has sights on nymphing in pools & pockets… the impressive Vision MAG 11ft #2/3.
Meanwhile, as the weather becomes more consistent… so do these.
Although being more boisterous and taking the mayfly readily, it's only to those flies drifting or straying into the fishes protected tight cover.
Steve slinging them low and quick under the canopy.
Now and again with perfection… some more speculative than others… but some just irresistible
This took some hanging onto as it writhed in and out of cover… his first on the river
How's my back end?
Not as pretty as the front may I say?
A forgotten fly. A detached body mayfly tied for me by great friend Tom Hill who sadly passed on earlier this year. A treasured fly to be used and squished by flighty finned fish.
Success was plentiful and the best of the fish coming when finding difficult places to fish in.
From a beginners point of view do days get any better than this?
You wouldn't want it as a predator.
Another slightly smaller Tom Hill variant with body rib…
…to pick up on smaller mayfly in the middle reaches
Steves last fish before retiring for the day. I so wish I could bottle today, I'd not need to work again.
Awesome afternoon Warren on Friday, Great weekend Matt & Steve… thank you mother nature.
The weathers set to be quite fine and fair this week throughout so here's hoping you have the opportunity to get out and enjoy it. Good fishing all…
