Fashionable Finds for Boys
If you could see me now, I"m slapping myself on the forehead because of another memory lapse. With barely a few winks before Christmas day, it just dawned on me that I still don't have a present for one of my nephews. How could that have slipped my mind! Thankfully, the internet has a plethora of gift options for some last minute, buzzer-beating shopping.
I consider myself lucky for stumbling upon lucasfrank.com. I could hardly contain my excitement as I browsed through their collection of boys' clothes. Their line ranges from tees to polos to hoodies. Everything a boy needs to look and feel like a member of a pop boy band is here.
I've got my eye on this hoodie which I'm thinking of getting for my nephew:
And on warmer days, this tee would be perfect as he heads out to the park for a stroll:
I love how this rugby shirt would make him look like a stunner as he asks his crush out for some ice cream:
They do have other items on sale, so I don't think my shopping ends here. Better a forgetful aunt than a scrooge, right?
Please Pass the Tissues: Kids and the Common Cold
The common cold is like a bad birthday gift that keeps on giving! And back-to-school time means colds are not far behind. But there are ways to prevent the spread of cold germs, and teaching your kids to practice good hygiene can go a long way to keeping them healthy, especially as flu season arrives. Recognizing the symptoms early, good hand washing and preventing the spread of germs are all ways to keep your entire family healthy when the common cold comes calling.
Cold Symptoms
The common cold usually begins about one to three days after a child or an adult is exposed to a cold virus. According to the Mayo Clinic, signs and symptoms of a common cold can include the following:
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy or sore throat
- Cough
- Congestion
- Slight body aches or a mild headache
- Sneezing
- Watery eyes
- Low-grade fever
- Mild fatigue
The discharge from your child's nose may become thicker and greener in color as the cold runs its course. The biggest difference between a cold and other types of illness is that it does not usually cause a high fever or significant fatigue. Children do not need to see their pediatrician for a cold unless they are experiencing ear pain, high fevers or other symptoms. The Mayo Clinic recommends the following guidelines for determining if your child needs to see a doctor:
- Fever of 100.4 F (38 C) in newborns up to 12 weeks
- Fever that rises repeatedly above 104 F (40 C) in a child of any age
- Signs of dehydration, such as urinating less often than usual
- Not drinking adequate fluids
- Fever that lasts more than 24 hours in a child younger than 2
- Fever that lasts more than three days in a child older than 2
- Vomiting or abdominal pain
- Unusual sleepiness
- Severe headache
- Stiff neck
- Difficulty breathing
- Persistent crying
- Ear pain
- Persistent cough
Cold Remedies
Colds are not treated with antibiotics, and using antibiotics too frequently or for the wrong reasons can increase the number of drug resistant germs. Even though you want your child to get better quickly, the common cold just has to run its course. But there are things you can do to make your child more comfortable while her immune system does its job. Use acetaminophen and ibuprofen according to package directions and based on your child's weight and age for general discomfort and low-grade fevers. Never give aspirin to a child under the age of 12; and teens under the age of 19 should not take aspirin or aspirin-containing products for viral illnesses as it increases their risk of developing Reye syndrome.
The Kidshealth website recommends the following to ease the symptoms of the common cold in children:
- Saline nasal sprays or drops help relieve nasal congestion
- Cool mist humidifier to moisturize the air
- Petroleum jelly under the nose to protect and soothe the skin
- Cough drops or hard candy can relieve sore throat pain
- Warm baths or steamy showers to help with chest congestion
Cold symptoms typically last for about a week and your child is contagious for the first three days she has symptoms. During this time it is important to keep your child at home as much as possible and to make sure she gets plenty of rest. This will help your child feel better sooner and recover completely in a timely way.
Cold Prevention
According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the best way to prevent the spread of the common cold is by thorough hand washing. Cold viruses live on your hands and washing them thoroughly and often and keeping them away from the eyes and nose can prevent the spread of infection. Cold viruses can live for up to three hours on your skin and on the surfaces in your home and school. Disinfecting telephone key pads, computer keyboards, stair railings and door knobs with products that kill viruses can help prevent the spread of the common cold at home. Teaching kids to sneeze into their sleeve when a tissue is not available, wash their hands after using tissues, and flushing tissues instead of throwing them into a trashcan can also cut down on the spread of cold germs.
Preventing every cold virus from entering your home is impossible. Teaching your children how to keep germs from spreading can keep everyone healthier during cold and flu season.

Tips for Making Your Baby's Room as Safe as Possible
"Image courtesy of photostock / FreeDigitalPhotos.net".
Your baby is your top priority after it is born. You need to be willing to do anything and everything to keep it safe. This means that you have to take steps to make the baby's room as safe as possible. What are some steps that you can take to achieve this goal?
Put Thick Carpets on the Floor
There is a chance that you baby could fall or otherwise hurt itself on a hardwood floor. Considering that a baby's head is a fragile as a glass bowl, the baby could seriously hurt itself from such a fall. By putting carpet in the room, the risk of your newborn child getting hurt is significantly reduced.
Keep a Baby Monitor in the Room
A baby monitor allows you to keep tabs on your baby when you are not in the room. If your child starts to cry or make other sounds of distress, you can be there in an instant to make sure that your baby is OK. In the event that something is wrong with your baby, you will know right away. That can be the difference between your child living and dying if it were choking on something or being attacked by a venomous bug.
Cover Any Electrical Outlets Inside or Outside the Room
Babies don't know that playing with electrical outlets can be dangerous. As a parent, you have to be aware that a baby is going to be curious about everything that it comes into contact with. Therefore, it is possible that you child will try to stick his or her fingers into an electrical socket or try to put its mouth on it. That could result in serious injury or death to your child.
Make Sure There is a Barrier Around the Crib
Babies like to move around as much as possible. While your newborn may not be able to stand up and get out of the crib, and older baby may be capable of climbing over any barrier put in front of him or her. A good rule of thumb is to put a wall around the crib that goes as far to the ceiling as possible. This avoids the possibility that your child will fall out of the crib and get hurt. When your child gets a little older, it may be appropriate for parents to consider beds like those sold by Bunkers Adelaide for their kid.
Babies are fragile creatures who can easily get hurt. If you are a parent, you need to take steps before the baby arrives at home to ensure that there is nothing that your child can do to hurt him or herself. While it may seem like a pain to take such precautions, it will be well worth it in the long run.
The Advantages of Seeing a Children's Dentist
Have you ever looked at the signs of dental offices and seen some that say "pediatric dentist"? Do you know what the difference is between a children's dentist in Fresno and a general dentist? Many people do not know what sets apart a children's dentist from a general dentist, but there are many advantages with going to a pediatric dentist. Read on to find out why many people choose to go with a pediatric dentist for their kids.
Extra Training
A pediatric dentist goes to medical school just like a general dentist, but after that schooling, a pediatric dentist will go to two extra years of schooling to get training to work with children. They understand more about dental issues that deal specifically with children such as monitoring baby teeth and teaching proper tooth hygiene. Some of their treatments include infant oral exams, preventative dental care, tooth defect care, and dental care for special needs children.
Smaller Equipment
It should come as no surprise that children are smaller, so it makes sense that children would also need smaller equipment. A pediatric dentist has smaller bite wings for x-rays. There are smaller chairs for kids to sit in. Kids can enjoy smaller dental instruments that fit in their mouths easier. It makes the dental experience easier for kids. Dentists can also treat children easier with these smaller instruments.
Love of Kids
One of the main differences with pediatric dentists is their love of kids. If they didn't love kids, why would a pediatric dentist go to two extra years of school just so they can work with children? In a pediatric dentist's office there are more toys, the office is more kid-friendly, and the staff is used to working with children. Most kids actually look forward to going to the dentist when the office is a fun place to be.
If you have young children, children with disabilities, or even adolescents, a children's dentist in Fresno can provide dental care that will help your child to love the dentist. It will instill a love of caring for their teeth and a desire to continue to visit the dentist.
Intrinsic Motivation and Children: How and Why
When you hear the sound of the road runner's unmistakable "Meep! Meep!", you're sure that Wile E Coyote is once again in hot pursuit of our fine feathered friend. The road runner zooms by at lightning speed, while the coyote pulls everything out of his ACME arsenal, hoping to finally capture the elusive bird. Now that's a shining example of intrinsic motivation. The coyote's reward will be the unspoken sense of accomplishment derived from ensnaring the roadrunner.
It's this type of motivation we want to instill in our children. We want our kids to work towards something because they want to, not because they want praise from us. Their reward won't be anything material, but the satisfaction of being able to undertake a task on their own.
When the motivation comes from inside them, it's more likely that they'll keep at an activity, rather than if the motivation came from outside. Learning will come more naturally if they enjoy what they do, and not because they want to please you.
How do you develop intrinsic motivation in your kids, then?
If you told your kid you'd give him another Furby toy if he passed his Math exam, sure he'd study hard and get an A, but you'll have to keep giving him rewards to keep him motivated. Instead, show him how challenging yet fun Math can be. Give him bite-size problems to tackle, and he'll involuntarily realize that being able to hurdle those problems will only push him to take on bigger challenges.
Give your child the chance to evaluate his own work. Instead of saying, "Good job!", you can ask him "What do YOU think? " If he feels that he's done well, this will drive him to keep it up, or even do better next time.
If you must praise your child for excellent work, you're better off praising him for the effort he put into it, rather than for the actual achievement. He deserves to be recognized for his determination even if he's unable to actually deliver.
Enhancing intrinsic motivation in your kids will prove to be beneficial to him when it comes to learning and developing self-confidence- even as an adult.
"That's all, folks!" (Yes, I just said that in true Porky- Pig-Looney-Tunes- ending fashion).
Feed the Need: How to Give Your Child the Affection He Needs
There's one glaring reason I listen to PSY's Gangnam song and One Direction's tracks: I love my daughter. Whatever she likes, I like more. I find myself helplessly drawn to anything and everything she fancies.
But loving our kids isn't just about listening to their music and watching their favorite TV shows. It's also about being demonstrative with our feelings for them. Do you sometimes wonder why they act up? It's because they clamor for your attention and affection. If you rub your pet dog's hair, shouldn't you do the same to your kid? It's one thing for them to know that we love them, but it's an entirely different ballgame when we SHOW them that.
Showing your kid affection isn't all that difficult. There are a lot of ways to do that.
Time for tenderness. In a day, there are numerous opportunities to sprinkle your kid with some tenderness. I personally enjoy braiding my daughter's hair while chatting with her. That simple gesture of my fingers brushing through her hair sends off a million love signals. Even just getting them dressed for school or tucking them into bed at night assures them of your steadfast love.
Make remembrances. Even when you're away, you can still show your kid the affection he needs. You can make him a collage of your trip. Or if it's your kid who's leaving, you can sneak in a note inside his bag.
The power of hugs. Hug your kid in the best of times, and even in the worst of times. No matter how busy you are, you can always give your kid a quick hug- even in the middle of doing the laundry. The bigger challenge is in hugging her after you've just told her off about something she's done. That helps melt away the anger, and reconnects you with that tiny creature who you love so dearly.
When you show your kid you love him, you help build his self-esteem. He grows up more equipped to take on any curveball life may throw at him.
So, kiss and hug away. Because the best things in life are free.
Tips on Buying Footwear for Kids
Cinderella had her fate decided by a glass slipper. Because the shoe fit, she got to marry the most sought-after prince during her time. That type of happily ever after may never happen to any of us in this day and age, but we should still put a lot of thought into picking out the proper footwear- especially for our kids.
Buying shoes for kids- whether it's dressy flats or functional baby rainboots- is not as easy as buying a carton of milk from the grocery store. There are some important factors to consider when choosing footwear for children.
Remember the rule of thumb. Make sure that there is a thumb's width- roughly half an inch- between the tip of her big toe and the shoe.
Have your toddler stand up. It's best to have her standing while being measured. Watch out for those toes. Be sure she doesn't curl them, or that'll mess up the numbers.
Wear those socks. When your kid tries out shoes, have her wear the socks which she'll wear with the shoes. That'll help you get the proper fit.
Get your kid to walk in the shoe. Pay careful attention to the back, making sure that it doesn't slip up and down, as it could cause painful blisters.
Your kid's safety and comfort are more important than saving money, so don't think about buying shoes one or two sizes larger, just so she could wear it for a longer time. Big shoes are difficult to walk in and can cause accidents.
Choosing kids' shoes is no walk in the park, but with the tips above to guide you, you shouldn't break a sweat.
Budget Fashion Tips for Your Baby
When Suri Cruise was born some years ago, a thousand angels in heaven sang praise and nearly twisted their halos in sheer delight. Harps were singing merrily as this little bundle of cuteness and joy made her entrance into this world. But it wasn't just winged cherubs who were happy then. Fashion designers from all over the world were equally ecstatic at the prospect of a newborn slave to fashion. One look at Suri, and they knew she was going to be the epitome of baby fashion. She was style personified- in diapers!
But for those of us who aren't as filthy rich as Suri's parents, we can still make our little girl look paparazzi-worthy without breaking the bank. Here are a few tips on how to prettify your little girl when you're on a budget.
Say no to one-piece. You know those one piece footed outfits with zippers? Steer clear of them. Babies grow at an alarming rate, so you won't be able to wear these for long. You're better off getting a two piece ensemble and then pairing it off with socks.
Accessorize accordingly. Never underestimate the power of cute accessories. Girly hats, or one of those adorable boutique baby headbands will step up your baby's style a notch. You'd be surprised at how a tiny bow here or there can instantly spruce up your little girl's look.
Go classic. Choose pieces with colors which aren't difficult to mix and match. Orange seems to work like a charm. Patterned styles may give you a harder time when it comes to pairing them off with your existing stuff.
Second hand is handy. For jackets or other pieces which your baby may not get to wear that frequently, you can always opt to find pre-loved items. You'll find these at consignment stores or even from other mom-friends.
No matter what age or income bracket, we all deserve to look our fashionable best. It's a birthright. All it takes is a little creativity in turning your baby into a diapered diva.

No More U.S. Aid to Saudi Arabia?
by Daniel Pipes
Ever since April 1945, when Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated U.S.-Saudi ties in a meeting with King Ibn Saud, the two country's "special relationship" has been the private preserve of presidents, vice presidents, cabinet ministers, ambassadors, flag officers, and other eminentoes – plus their retired equivalents. The Congress has been as welcome in this important business as a skunk at a garden party. And for nearly a half century, generations of senators and representatives have invariably acquiesced to the Executive Branch's warnings that not to do its will would bring disaster.
But the House of Representatives today voted 217-191 on a foreign aid bill and resolved to deny financial assistance to Saudi Arabia. The Bush Administration strongly opposed the amendment to "prohibit any U.S. assistance to Saudi Arabia," saying it would "severely undermine" both counterterrorism cooperation with Saudi Arabia and U.S. efforts for peace in the Middle East (the latter is a bit of a stretch).
The actual amount is utterly trivial - $25,000 out of a $19.4 billion 2005 foreign aid bill, but beyond its political implications, it also has financial repercussions, for Saudi Arabia's receiving any amount of foreign aid, no matter how nominal, makes it eligible for much larger savings in discounts in a range of military expenditures.
It is a proud day for the Democrats, as they backed the measure to cut aid 156-39; in contrast, Republicans opposed it 152-60. (In all likelihood, those numbers would have been reversed were the president a Democrat, as relations with Saudi Arabia historically have not been a partisan matter.)
Next up: the Senate. For the Saudi aid not to go through, the Senate must either reject the Saudi aid provision or agree to its being dropped in conference. If history is a guide, the Senate will go along with the administration and Saudi Arabia will get the aid. But still, a vital precedent has been set and House members can stand proudly for having asserted, after fifty-nine long years, their constitutional prerogative. (July 15, 2004)
June 10, 2006 update: Two years later, same topic and roughly the same result. The House voted 312 to 97 to cut $420,000 in aid to Saudi Arabia, $400,000 for an anti-terrorism program and $20,000 in military training and education, due to Saudi teaching of intolerance and the lack of counterterrorism action by the kingdom. The measure now goes to the Senate.
Comment: The increased margin suggests a toughening of attitudes.
June 22, 2007 update: This year, the House voted again to ban any aid to Saudi Arabia. In 2005 and 2006, US$2.5 million went to Riyadh to train Saudis in counter-terrorism and border security and to pay for Saudi military officers to attend U.S. military school. The prohibition was attached to a foreign aid funding bill and faces a veto from the White House. The Reuters article notes that "In the past three years, Congress has passed bills to stop the relatively small amount of U.S. aid to Saudi Arabia, only to see the Bush administration circumvent the prohibitions. Now, lawmakers are trying to close loopholes so that no more U.S. aid can be sent to the world's leading petroleum exporter."

Give Corps collaborative string art!
Local crowd-funding site GiveCorps celebrated its first year of grassroots philanthropy in a one-of-a-kind anniversary party attended by nearly 200 of Baltimore's kindest people. The event, held at Union Mill in Hampden, celebrated the culture of philanthropy in Baltimore by honoring GiveCorps donors and nonprofit and merchant partners. To date, more than 200 nonprofits have benefited from the generosity of more than 3,000 Baltimoreans, collectively serving nearly 30,000 of our neighbors in need.
Founder Jamie McDonald, with the pink scarf
"One of GiveCorps' core beliefs is you don't have to be rich to be a philanthropist – and together, small-dollar philanthropy can have great impact," says Jamie McDonald, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of GiveCorps. "Today, we're honoring Baltimore philanthropists of all ages, and at all giving levels. We're so proud of what they've accomplished in just one year."
The celebration highlighted GiveCorps' frequent givers, like Kate Bladow, founder and principal strategist at Powered Pursuits.
Peter Jackson proudly displays the Give Corps Change Jar
"Daily, GiveCorps tells me about programs that are actively making Baltimore a better place to be and makes it easy to support their work," says Bladow, one of GiveCorps' frequent donors. "As someone who works with nonprofits and technology, I'm interested in new giving platforms and kept watch for their launch. Although I started watching the site for professional reasons, I've transitioned to using it for some of my personal giving."
Proceeds from the party benefited six community nonprofits, all in attendance to spread the word about their work. Moveable Feast, which provides meals, weekly groceries, and nutritional counseling to homebound people living with HIV/AIDS, has completed two projects with GiveCorps and raised more than $3,400.
The crowd from above at Union Mill
According to Moveable Feast's Hanna Mast, it was about more than money. "GiveCorps has given Moveable Feast a chance to reach out to younger philanthropists and to offer our long time donors another fun way to give. For Moveable Feast – it only takes $5.41 to feed one person for a day, and we found that GiveCorps is a great venue through which to show how even small donations add up to larger change."
Other nonprofits benefiting from the proceeds of the event were Child First Authority, Cylburn Arboretum Association, Baltimore Montessori Public Charter School, The Youth Dreamers, and Page Turners.
The party was catered by GiveCorps merchant partners Woodberry Kitchen, Taharka Brothers Ice Cream, Bonjour Bakery and Union Craft Brewers, with entertainment provided by student performers from the Baltimore School for the Arts and a collaborative art led by Baltimore's TT the Artist.
Jan Baum and What Weekly Publisher Brooke Hall share in the celebration
GiveCorps' mission is to nurture an online community where people find their passion to give, local non-profits find their core supporters, and local merchants reward donors for giving. This is a community of givers whose collective generosity – in dollars and personal commitment – makes them the most powerful philanthropists in Baltimore.

Tastes good, but not special. The flavor seems a little flat or one-dimensional. With the avocado and chives, and without gobs of mayo, it does look more elegant than your average potato salad.flag if inappropriate
Simple. Elegant. Fabulous. It's perfect for company.flag if inappropriate
Fresh and delicious. Perfect for the picnic-for- two that I planned. I added garlic, cilantro, and chopped up jalapenos (fresh, not canned) to the salad to give it a little kick. I agree with the other reviewer. I thought 6 small potatoes seemed like a small serving size so I cooked 12. Along with the avocado, this was way too much for two people in one sitting, but we saved it for later! Also, to the reviewer that commented on the mushiness of the recipe: How mushy the potatoes come out depend on how long you cook it -- adjust times if necessary. I test potatos out by poking a fork into them while boiling to see how starchy they are.flag if inappropriate
The taste was fine but the texture wasn't great. A bit too mushy.flag if inappropriate
Highly recommended. It knocked everyone out at my BBQ, and I received raves about it for weeks afterward. I followed the recipe and added nothing extra - the avocado makes it rich and satisfying, while the lemon balances the richness. Yum!flag if inappropriate
I made this dish to take to a neighborhood party b/c I had several avocados on hand. I added bacon, a little cayenne pepper, a bit extra lemon zest & juice--it was great! Lots of folks at the party commented on the dish and asked for the recipe. The best part...it was so simple!!flag if inappropriate
Absolutely delicious! Quick and easy and my family loved it.flag if inappropriate
Splendid! Easy and delicious - brings out the flavor of a good potato with very little preparation. I used Yukon Golds.flag if inappropriate
This is a great salad! It took about 2 minutes to make once the potatoes were ready. If you like lemons and avocados, you would love it! I will definitely be making it for my friends.flag if inappropriate
Absolutely delicious. Easy, too. If you are a lover of lemon, as I am, try this!flag if inappropriate

A new water line is to be installed at the Price Canyon Recreation Site by the BLM. The site has been without water for nearly two years and while a newer water tank is in place the dilapidated water line has made water delivery impossible.
"We're having the Vernal crew put the new line in, so the site should have drinking water shortly," said Wayne Ladington, the assistant field manager at the BLM Utah Price field office.
Options for the line including it's possible repair were considered, but according to Ladington it was impractical because the repairs would be stronger than the line itself.
"The line was over 20 years old and we've been working through the process of replacing it for over two years now," said Ladington.
The access road to the campsite should not be effected during construction, but there will be some inconvenience for those who wish to use the site. And although the site will not be expanded, the BLM will re-institute hulling water to it.
On average Ladington said that water is hulled up just once a year despite the heavy usage of the site because the tank can hold a good amount of water.
"We'll just appreciate the public's understanding while construction is underway," said Landinton.
The BLM manages more land (256 million acres) than any other federal agency.
This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 western states, including Alaska. The bureau, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.

Hey Arvind, I test drove a LEAF myself, and it's a great EV. So I'd say have no regrets.
It would be great if you share your experience with the smart ED owners for comparison.
We are inclusive to electric vehicles here.
Sorry to say but we bought a 2013 Leaf SV last week instead. It was a very hard decision, influenced by: family of 5 with avg household age 71, leaf is bigger/more practical for this family, leaf has been out longer and is better supported, smart ED relatively new, no dealer discounts. Will be watching the evolution of the ED3 with great interest from the sidelines.
Anyone picking up their smart electric drive today?
Getting the process started to install a charging station in the garage. First step was to fill out a questionnaire at www.pluginnow.com -- then a guy from Bosch in Michigan called me promptly, and identified a local electrician to come out, inspect the location, and give me a quote. The HW itself can cost $1300-$1600 (also at above website). Need to do some drywall work before calling electrician. Anyone else go through this process before? Any tips?
We changed our minds after learning that it will cost $3000 to get the custom color we wanted. So will take one of the cars expected in the first shipment. Due date still May 15.
I was hoping that the San Jose shipment would arrive May 3. I am still waiting to buy an ED3. I don't think I can wait until August or September or whenever.
San Jose shipment delayed from May 3 to May 15. Something to do with battery lease terms ... We didn't like any of the configurations in the first shipment, and have special ordered our preferred configuration for ED3. Expect it to arrive mid-August.

No relation to Wallace & Grommet, but thanks to them for the title of this thread.I have pretty much always used an electric shaver. My latest find, and that was perhaps ten years ago, is the foil shaver, made by folks like Remington. They are great in that they provide a very close shave, sort of like a blade, but they are difficult to shave a four-day stubble with after an adventure. All this to say my current shaver is dieing a slow death. Therefore, I need a new shaver. I'm looking for the closest, most comfortable shave I can find. And it'd be nice to be able to shave off more than a days-worth of growth, something my current one doesn't like doing. So, what would you recommend and why?
Does your current one also have a 'hair trimmer'? You know, that pops out and you use it on your sideburns and such? If so, your current razor may be fine. I use the hair trimmer on my Norelco to 'shave down' a weekend growth, then use the razor as normal for the 'close shave.' Works great for me.
I had forgotten that. And this from a true gear geek (no harm/no foul). I knew it'd be the guys who were into (consumed!) by gear that'd have good ideas like this. Birds of a feather.... Thanks Doug.I still need a new one though. It's many, many years old and the batteries are dieing as well as the blades. I figure I have a few months to a year tops before it is totally done.edited for clarity.

GrantBob MarleySocratesVikingsVincent Van GoghOBi-Wan KanobeGandalfJerry GarciaSurgeon General C. Everett KoopKing Henry VIIIJohn MuirWalt WhitmanLouis Pastar----------------BENEFITS Of BEARDS (from Wonderfulinfo.com)A beard protects the face from harmful chemicals, and pollution in the air, which will cause cell damage, and increase wrinkling and bad skin. So keeping a beard protects your skin from the elements, reduces wrinkles, ageing, and bad skin. The beard covers the skin, which protects the sebaceous glands from being infected by acne vulgaris bacteria, thus preventing acne/spots/pimples! Keeping your face warmer and protects your chin from dangers. It prevents disease of throat and gums. Most of the respiratory problems are prevented by keeping beard. It is the identity for a man with respect to woman. Research says the longer and thicker the beard the wiser the person is supposed to be. What is the total time spent in shaving by a man in his whole lifetime? Dr. Herbert Mescon from Boston University did research to give an answer to this question. Dr. Mescon calculated that if a teenager begin shaving at the age of 15, then in his 55 or so years of shaving, he is likely to spend about 3350 hours (which are equivalent to about 139 full days) at this task in his lifetime. That is an incredible amount of time which literally goes down the drain. You can add to it thousands of dollars one spends during his lifetime on products for shaving (razors, shaving gels, after-shave lotions etc). ====================How we use our tax dollars :)In a 1973 issue of psychology , Robert J. Pelligrini, a psychologist from California State University published the results of an experiment on the perception as a function of different state of beardedness or beardlessness. To carry out the experiment, Pelligrini hired eight full-bearded young men from the ages of 22-25 years, who were willing to have their beards completely shaved off. All men were professionally photographed in each of the following states:1.Full beard2.Goateed3.Mustached4.Clean shavenUpon completion of the photographic sessions, there were a total of thirty two photographs i.e. four photos of each of the eight men. In the experiment, those photos were randomly distributed to subjects who were asked to rate their first impression based on a number of personality traits. The subjects who evaluated the photos compromised 64 male and 64 female psychology students. Hence, each photo was judged by two males and two females.The result of this study by Pelligrini indicated a generally positive correlation between the amount of hair on the person's face and his being perceived as masculine, good looking, dominant, mature, courageous, liberal, non-confirming, older healthy and attractive.================You should always respect the knowledge and experience of greybeards
Sorry Nick. Just shaved mine yesterday. It was messing with my aerodynamics.You might want to think about that next time you're feeling slow.I hate shaving machines: if you must, use a blade.
Edited by xnomanx on 10/30/2011 22:08:00 MDT.
Too much of a PITA to keep trimmed and shaped for me when not in long hiking mode.(And a touch of vanity, now, too. My very black beard now has a large portion of very noticeable gray hair in it! :) )
+1 for Norelco. Use the beard trimmer to hack through more than a few days growth. I've had two of them over the past 6 years or so, replacing the first one for a model upgrade even though it still worked fine. Both of mine were made in Holland and I believe you can still find models made there.
Never used an electric razor much. Reluctantly gave up my Safety razor when I could not find blades anymore. Using Gillette disposables now. What about a straightedge? Making a comeback. Sustainable. Also saw a guy shave with petroleum jelly and a single edge razor blade. His skin looked fantastic for his advanced age.My stepfather said that if you can give yourself a great shave you have made a virtue out of necessity. Beards and facial hair take too much upkeep to look good. Most guys are lazy and their beards look like crap the majority of the time.
"Most guys are lazy and their beards look like crap the majority of the time."That would be me.Shave...wait two weeks...repeat.
Ken, My little brother is still using a safety razor. I think he mail orders blades. I know they are really hard to find in most towns.http://www.theartofshaving.com/shop/razors/blades/67010
You should give wet shaving with a double edge safety razor a try. I hated shaving until a buddy got me interested in it. Check out Corey Greenburg's Shaveblog and there is great information at Straight Razor Place forums and Badger and Blade forums.Ken, West Coast Shaving has razor blade sample packs. I found the Feather DE blade works best for me.Edited to fix links.

Nick, you are having too much fun. Thread drift is expected here in Chaff though!Really, I just need an electric shaver that provides a good close shave. I've had many Norelco's and a few Remingtons. I prefer the closer-shaving Remingtons. They are a little less comfortable, but for the baby-butt closeness they provide, I'm OK with that. And I just dislike blades. Don't really want to retrain myself.Basically three brands make foil shavers; Remington, Panasonic, and Braun. For those of you with experience with any of them, LMK what you think. And I'll contemplate growing a beard while I wait for your responses! And I'm also counting on you (fellow) gear geeks to know.
Once upon a time when I shaved everyday an electric razor never shaved close enough. The best was a Norelco triple head. If I were to go backward into a barbaric state I would go with a disposable... Do they still make safety razors?
You can go here http://www.theartofshaving.com/shop/razors/safety to find some safety razors. They are retro and made out of cool materials and can cost up to $200 big one. And they use German-made blades. German precision is good. But I think I'll pass for the convience of a cordless electric shaver.
Give up the blade...after all it is no shave November
Think Billy Duke in "Commando" - get a blue bic and dry shave.Use a Shick and hot water.

I suggest the Bowie knife from Crocodile Dundee.
Men with trimmed beards look nice. Props to guys with silver. I see so many clean shaven men who would look...er....more manly if you will, if they just grew a beard! But no scraggly hippie beards though.....
Sarah,Some men, myself included, don't possess dense enough facial hair to grow a decent beard. After a month I simply look scruffy and homeless and that is the longest I can stand it. Shaving is the lesser of two evils.
I am blessed/cursed with a heavy beard.I am technically clean shaven. But my 5 o'clock shadow may be considered a light beard by many people. ;)(OK...an exaggeration, but not by much! :D)
I always shave closely prior to a backpack trip. For one thing, I think of how many grams that must save me for the start. But then I let it grow out during the trip, and that saves me from needing sunscreen on my face.--B.G.--
" I think of how many grams that must save me for the start"I am scared to find out how many grams of hair I carry on every trip.....
During a talk with Coup from Golite, he said he shaved everywhere for the weight savings before his Colorado Trail hike. >3oz.@ Kat How about weight when wet?
Edited by kthompson on 11/01/2011 19:19:18 MDT.
I like to start a hike with a clean shave because it is much easier to put on sunblock. The more stubble you get, the harder it is to get it. Same thing surfing, I always shave before just so I can get a good coat of that wonderful sunblock.My beards too multi-colored anyways.BTW Matthew and Doug, thanks. Your's are the only replies that have given any advice on the topic. -Let the chaff continue.edited for: credit where credit is due!
Edited by WarrenGreer on 11/02/2011 18:33:59 MDT.
@ Kat How about weight when wet?Pounds!
Kat's hair when wet: This came up on the last trip. We really need to have her wear a PFD for winter creek crossings just to be on the safe side.
At my wife's request, I stopped shaving when we got married. That was nearly 38 years ago.But I generally keep it trimmed....
"But I generally keep it trimmed...."I would expect nothing else from a Barber.Really though the wet shave is the most enjoyable, best quality shave.I hope the OP will give it a go.
Tried it before (a few times) and don't dig it. Thanks for the encouragement though.
I recently purchased a 1962 Gillette Slim Double edge adjustable safety razor off Ebay for $30. The thing is built to last, is made of solid brass and is nickel plated. I get a 10 pack of double edged safety razors for $1.39.The shave is unbelievable and extremely close. I will never go back to the disposable Mach 3, type blades ever again. I thoroughly recomend wet shaving for anyone that is thinking of "converting."
"I would expect nothing else from a Barber."Groan! I should have expected that!!! ;)
Warren,I found the Norelco's do the best job. But that was years ago. Not sure if they build a quality product anymore.Take a look at professional atheletes who normally are clean shaven. They have a stubble when they play. A clean shave causes irritation when you sweat a lot.But why do we shave? It isn't natural... it is just a ploy by Madison Avenue to purchase shaving gear, accessories, and fu fu smelling chemicals. So... Occupy Madison Avenue!
... it is just a ploy by Madison Avenue to purchase shaving gear, accessories, and fu fu smelling chemicals. So... Occupy Madison Avenue!all in fun, huh? I love me 'dem stereotypes, like "down with business!"--------------and, in the spirit of the thread... nick is right, athletes prefer stubble. Full-on beards suck more than clean shaven skin... except legs
The next frontier in ultralight backpacking is depilating unless one is substituting body hair for a bag or quilt I believe we should loose every hair off our bodies at the start of a trip.In this vein I'm offering the Pye's 1000 Self Waxing Kit.Come on you bunch of hairbags, time to come clean.
These all feel like they are pulling weeds rather than mowing the grass. Ouch!
The best/closest shave i ever had was in Turkey. (I paid for visiting Turkey the next time i visited the US) The barbers son swapped an old T-Shirt for food.The works. Hot towel. Open razor shave. Cup of apple tea. Hot towel again, followed by another shave. A few cents.The stupid mistake was to dive into the ocean 5 minutes after the shave. I've never felt stinging like that in my life! :)

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Denny's Corp. DENN, -1.69% said Tuesday it agreed to sell the majority of its company-owned, franchisee-operated restaurants to National Retail Properties Inc. NNN, -0.62% Under terms of the deal, Denny's will sell 66 properties to the real estate investment trust for gross proceeds of about $67 million. Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce the outstanding balance of the Spartanburg, N.C., restaurant company's $219 million first lien term loan. Denny's expects its annual net income to increase by about $1 million as reductions in interest expense and depreciation offset the loss of rental income. (Updates to correct the sale-price figure in headline.)

LINCOLN – A confident John Taylor told the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce Wednesday that Twin River will "absolutely" be able to compete with the planned Massachusetts casinos if the ballot questions to allow table games at the casino are approved by voters next week.
Taylor, chairman of Twin River's board of directors, said the facility should start offering table games in July of next year, which he expects will give it a head start of two and a half years before Massachusetts can begin opening the three resort casinos approved by the Bay State legislature. He notes that Twin River is already competing successfully with two of the world's largest casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.
Last year, he said, Twin River grew its business by 9 percent, while Foxwoods was down by 2 percent and Mohegan Sun dropped by 3 percent. In the first eight months of this year, he added, "we've grown our business by 5 percent, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun are down 6 percent in the same period.
Twin River is sponsoring a rally today at 5 p.m. to gin up support for the ballot questions and urge voters to turn out next Tuesday to approve them. The Northern Rhode Island Chamber has endorsed Questions 1 and 8, according to President John Gregory.
Taylor said the Coalition to Bring Jobs to Rhode Island, the political action committee formed to support the ballot questions on table games, will likely spend a little more than $4 million to encourage voters statewide to approve Question 1 on the November 6 ballot and voters in Lincoln to approve ballot Question 8. Both are key because if Lincoln voters don't approve Question 8, it doesn't matter how the statewide question fares; the table games will be rejected.
Unlike past ballot questions concerning gambling and casinos, there is currently no organized effort to urge voters to reject the proposal. The town of Lincoln and its residents have not always been comfortable with new initiatives at Twin River – a non-binding referendum on allowing Twin River to open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, was rejected by Lincoln voters, although later approved by the General Assembly – both seem to be on board with the current proposal.
The focus of Twin River's referendum effort has been jobs.
The company says approval of the referendum questions will protect the 900 jobs that Twin River already provides – 800 of which are held by Rhode Islanders; 100 of those by Lincoln residents – as well as add 350 new jobs at the facility. That in turn, Taylor said, is expected to add another 300 jobs in the state among the company's vendors and suppliers.
The new jobs at Twin River, the lion's share of which will be dealers, are expected to pay an average of $60,000 a year.
"In an economy with the second highest unemployment in the country," Taylor said, "we think jobs are critical and as I have gone around the state it is one of the things people want to talk about."
Allowing the table games will also protect the roughly $300 million -- $290 million in gambling revenue; $10 million in business taxes – that Twin River turns over to the state of Rhode Island, making it the state's third-largest revenue stream, after income and sales taxes. The town of Lincoln receives an additional $11 million, which would grow if the table games are approved.
Lincoln makes good use of the money it currently receives from the slot machines, Taylor said, because the town has a policy of not using more than $5.2 million in its operating budget. The rest is used for one-time capital improvements, allowing it to obtain "things other cities and towns can't afford. He noted that some of the cash has gone to build a state-of-the-art Senior Center, an extension of the library and to buy a new trash truck, among other items.
Adding table games to the gambling menu at Twin River won't alter the neighborhood, he promised. The building will not be expanded, he said, the table games will fit inside the existing facility and there will be "no neon signs out on Louisquisset Pike." He cited studies that predict the table games will draw about 1,500 to 2,000 more cars a day to the casino.
Asked which games would be introduced if the referendum is approved, Taylor said he expects to see traditional casino games such as Blackjack, Roulette and Craps. To the apparent disappointment of the questioner, Taylor said Poker may not be one of the offerings.
"We are struggling with Poker," Taylor admitted. "We're not sure what we are going to do. The vast majority of people that I talk to are urging a poker room, but we need to know if there is enough demand for Poker in this market because it is a game where you need a critical mass (of players) to make it work. Poker is still up in the air.
Bingo is definitely out.
"We have no plans to do a bingo hall here," he said. "Bingo is one of those go-big-or-go-home kind of games and there is one of the world's largest bingo halls at Foxwoods."

Home Insurance Quotes
Ask the Home Insurance Expert
I can't find insurance for a vacant house until it's sold
Home insurance companies are leery about selling coverage for vacant homes because unoccupied residences can fall victim to vandals, thieves and squatters. Vacant homes are also at greater risk for extensive damage if they're infiltrated by insects or vermin, or if a pipe bursts or something catches fire because no one is around to respond to the emergency in time.
Sometimes insurance companies will give you a time frame for how long a house can be vacant and still insured, such as 30 or 60 days. After that, they might cancel your policy.
If a standard home insurance company is not willing to insure you, search for a company that specializes in insurance for vacant homes. This coverage is pricey, though, so prepare to pay higher premiums than you were paying before. Another option is to check whether you're eligible for your state's Fair Access to Insurance Requirements plan, which provides coverage for high-risk homes. The federal government established the plans roughly 40 years ago to make home insurance available to property owners who can't otherwise get it. The insurance is more expensive than standard home insurance and offers less coverage, but it's better than nothing.
Yet another option is to ask friends or relatives to stay in your house so it is no longer considered vacant, or hire a house sitter. Even if you have to pay for a house sitter, the alternative might be cheaper than premiums for insurance for vacant homes.
Learn more about how vacant homes can be tough to insure.

Fifth World Water Forum Marked by Violence and Repression

The World Water Forum is a triennial gathering
which, according to it's website, is "an open, all-inclusive,
multi-stakeholder process" where governments, NGOs, businesses and
others "create links, debate and attempts to find solutions to achieve
water security." The World Water Council, the forum's main organizer,
is dominated by two of the world's largest private water corporations,
Suez and Veolia. Loïc Fauchon, president of the Council, is also the
president of Groupe des Eaux de Marseille,
a company owned jointly by
Veolia and a subsidiary of Suez. The alternate president, Charles-Louis

After two extended trips in the last month for work, my review backlog was starting to resemble a college student�s laundry pile in both mass and freshness. Then again, there�s no way I�d miss out on an opportunity to share my thoughts about �Pikmin 3� for Nintendo�s Wii U.
Best described as charming delight packaged in videogame form, Pikmin 3 pushes the right buttons for folks looking for a different gaming experience from the norm. Forget guns, swords and the typical tools of the videogame trade. Like its predecessors, Pikmin 3 has you commanding a loyal troop of plantlike creatures known as Pikmin as you scour the surface of a mysterious planet for food. With time and sustenance being limited, your success in the game rests on your ability to multitask with the games three characters while properly using your cute little helpers. Red Pikmin, for example, are fireproof while yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity. Then you�ve got new additions such as flying Pikmin and my new favorite, rock Pikmin, which can break crystals and inflict extra damage to foes when thrown. The cuteness of the game belies the harsh realities of its Darwinian world where Pikmin can perish quite easily. Then again, seeing a swarm of the little buggers converge on a giant boss and carry its lifeless carcass to your ship never fails to attract an audience of viewers in my house.
Targeting controls on the tablet could be improved and the game might be short for some. Overall, though, Pikmin 3�s a keeper.
Cost: $60, Wii U
How far would you go for a taco? That�s the deep, philosophical question that underpins the latest iteration of the popular flora vs. animated corpse struggle that is �Plants vs. Zombies 2: It�s About Time.� This time � pun so totally intended � players get to journey through the ages as Crazy Dave concocts a time machine so he can eat the taco he just scarfed down once again. That, my friends, is why they call the man crazy.
Owners of iOS devices get dibs for PvZ2 as the game makes it debut on Apple�s gadgets. Its launch platform of choice is not the only controversial difference between the sequel and the original. Plants vs. Zombies 2 also adopts the free-to-play model, an approach that certainly has its share of critics. Fortunately, not all the changes are of the controversial variety as the app also implements several new elements to the gameplay. The most noticeable difference is the presentation, which now uses a world map that branches into several paths across various eras. A new collection of plants such as the Bloomerang and comical Bonk Choy freshens things up. Adding to the challenge are new zombies such as the torch-wielding adventurer, who can lay waste to your plant army. Fortunately, plant-boosting plant food and power ups help level the playing field.
Folks who decry in-app purchases and a �pay-to-win� mentality will decry this aspect of PvZ2. The good news is that you can still unlock the bulk of the game�s features by simply playing and grinding through stages.
Cost: Free; iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch
As someone who suffers from guilt and anxiety just for jaywalking, I�m not exactly criminal material. It�s probably why playing �Payday 2� makes me feel like Nick Selby at a Georgia Tech convocation speech � that is, something that rhymes with �bad bass.�
Payday 2 puts gamers in the role of virtual robbers who don masks as they pull off � or try to pull off � spectacular heists. For its second rodeo, the Payday franchise tries to add some extra polish to improve the overall game experience. These include some fine tuning of the controls and combat. It also adds a dynamic mission interface known as Crime Net, which can be played online or offline for loners who frown upon human companionship or Luddites who don�t have Internet. Missions vary from typical bank or jewelry heists to wreaking havoc at the mall. Hot Topic never saw it coming. Missions also can be played differently depending on your approach. Don�t want to tap into your inner Rambo? Then you can disable cameras and guards while nabbing a key from the bank manager. Having a bad day? Then by all means feel free to have a shootout with the city�s finest. You can also mix and match abilities among the game�s four classes to customize your own character to match your playstyle.
The game has its share of hiccups and the AI can be dumb as a rock. To get the most out of Payday 2, rounding up a team of human-controlled partners is the way to go.
Cost: $30-40; PC, PS3, Xbox 360

"The economic crisis has created an unprecedented window of opportunity for health reform. But we are in the early happy talk stage on health reform, and the window could close if policymakers cannot move fairly quickly to take advantage of the opportunity they have," said Kaiser President and CEO Drew Altman.
Large majorities of Americans say coverage expansion, cost reduction and delivery system change are all important pieces of health care reform. But when asked to choose which of these sometimes competing goals is most important, affordability tops the priority list, named by four in ten (39%). Slightly fewer - three in ten (30%) - choose expanding coverage and roughly two in ten (18%) pick improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of the health care delivery system.
Clear and Bipartisan Support for Regulation
A key health reform idea that draws public support and stands out in the support it gets across the political spectrum is the idea of more consumer protections and regulation of health insurance.
Almost eight in ten Americans (78%) favor requiring health insurance companies to cover anyone who applies, even if they have a pre-existing condition. This support remains high (72%) even when the public is given the argument often made that such a change may raise health insurance costs for healthier people even as it lowers them for the less healthy. Support is bipartisan: a clear majority of Democrats (77%), political independents (78%) and Republicans (58%) support eliminating exclusions for preexisting conditions.
Similarly, over six in ten Americans strongly or somewhat favor limiting the administrative expenses health insurance companies can claim (65%) and even the profi

FWW Number 4 in AU's 'Top 10 Most Wanted 2007'
Fighting With Wire are music as intent, pure and raw. Reprising the attitude and sound of mid-90s post-grunge alternative rock, they refuse to cater to fleeting fashions; instead investing all their efforts in songs bold, belligerent and utterly true. An imminent debut album will seek to harness the onstage Hiroshima that the three-piece detonate each and every time they play live.
Members – Cahir O'Doherty (vocals, guitar), Craig McKean (drums, vocals), Jamie King (bass, vocals)
– Cahir O'Doherty (vocals, guitar), Craig McKean (drums, vocals), Jamie King (bass, vocals)
Formation – 2003, Derry
For Fans of – Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Easykill
Key Release – Forthcoming album, 'Man Vs Monster' (Smalltown America)
Weblink – www.myspace.com/fightingwithwire
Need To Know
- Unrelenting live campaigners, Fighting With Wire have brought their fist-pumping firepower on tour with Biffy Clyro, Million Dead, Reuben, yourcodenameis:milo, Kerbdog, Nomeansno, Brigade, Against Me! and Seafood.
- To lose one bass player is careless, but five . . . Jamie King is the last in a long line of four-stringers.
- Fiercely DIY, Fighting With Wire retain a healthy cynicism about the record industry. O'Doherty recently described the UK music scene as "the complete opposite of everything we do and stand for. Shite bands with no songs and lots of attitude".
- Intensely proud of their Derry roots, the band does much to encourage local music, forging strong links with native acts and participating in various youth projects in the city.
- Frontman O'Doherty also plays guitar for the incomparable Jetplane Landing.

Glass tazza, by James Powell & Sons
Whitefriars, London, England, around AD 1902
The word tazza means 'cup' in Italian, but in England it is used to describe a Venetian-inspired stemmed vessel which is a cross between a goblet and a shallow bowl. This example, with spirals of air in its long tapering stem, is particularly elegant. It was designed by Harry J. Powell and made by J. Powell & Sons, and was probably made specially for the Turin Exhibition of Decorative Arts, 1902. The fine threads of molten green glass trailed on the foot and bowl, pulled to resemble a spider's web, and the engraved seagulls on the bowl, demonstrate a high degree of craftsmanship.
James Powell & Sons (later known as Whitefriars Glass) had produced glass on behalf of William Morris since the 1860s, and subsequently supplied outlets such as Liberty, Tiffany and Siegfried Bing's Maison de l'Art Nouveau in Paris around the turn of the century. The factory's chief designer during this period was the talented Harry J. Powell (1853-1922), a leading protagonist in the Arts and Crafts Movement. He created exquisite historical revival designs inspired by glass from earlier periods, as well as modern designs in the Art Nouveau style. Although the form of this tazza is derived from Italian Renaissance models, its decoration is thoroughly contemporary and highly original.

I'm linking up with the blog True Femininity today to share a new outfit I purchased this weekend. You can click on the image above to visit the blog and participate if that sounds fun to you! I really love the outfits the blog author has chosen to share--they are very chic! She mixes some vintage in, and it's adorable! Her looks are cute, modest, and affordable: three things that are important to me!
Did I mention affordable? Savers is our local resale shop and there are others I frequent. It's amazing what you can find, lots of good-quality used items and you would be surprised what I find that still has tags. Often stores from around the shop will donate (I am guessing for tax reasons?) some of their apparel, so I have seen Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, and other bigger-name brands in the aisles as well.
I wore this to church today and then kept it on for the rest of the day because it was so comfortable. (Unusual for me; I used to be the first one changed from church because I have preferred pants, and the more comfortable the better.) My sweet, camera-happy 8 year old son and husband were nice enough to snap a few shots of me in our front yard.
I've been spending time lately reading blogs and websites about modesty and femininity, and while I have always worn clothing that covers my legs, chest and shoulders, I have had my eyes opened to new possibilities with the notion of wearing skirts and dresses more often to express and enjoy my femininity. It's kind of a concept I have not really embraced until recently and I am surprised by how comfortable wearing skirts can be.
Modesty is a topic for everyone, not just persons of one faith or another--or just for women, for that matter. Although I do wear pants sometimes, I have renewed my conscious commitment to myself to be mindful of how I dress and how I am seen by others. It really has brought about some changes in my heart.
I was just remarking to my sister today the change I have felt in just two weeks of choosing to wear skirts more often. Instead of subliminally thinking, as I chose something from my closet to put on, "if I wear this, someone might notice and admire me...", my thoughts were more like..."I feel so loved already. I'll feel really good wearing this". It's funny--it was like I was starting out feeling loved, wearing clothing I felt confidently covered in, rather than wearing something, hoping to feel validation or praise from others. It was a subtle difference but felt powerful to me.
The second change I noticed is that I really feel more womanly in a skirt. I felt closer to God in His plan for me as His daughter. That may sound funny or strange. I know I didn't expect it to make any difference before I decided to give it a try. I just wanted to try it out to see what all the hubbub was really about! Was it really something that makes a difference? It's a little hard to put into words what I felt, actually. It was subtle but it was there. I suppose one way to say it is that I felt stronger in my role of 'woman', 'wife' and 'mother'. I felt empowered in my role! (Who'd a thunk a skirt would do all that, right?)
If you are curious about modesty and places to buy modest clothing, I've compiled a list of links for myself and share them with you HERE. As you scroll down the page, the links are listed under the heading "modesty". If you prefer, you can start with these links here:
She Wears Skirts: Two Moms blog about their ideas, tips, experiences. This is a great resource.
More than Modesty..it's also about finding your own femininity! Feelin' Feminine
If you have questions about modesty or an experience that made a difference to you, please share it here with a comment. I would love to hear from you!

Chieftains founder Paddy Moloney always looking for Celtic converts
Even after almost 50 years, the Chieftains' music is still out of this world. Literally. In December, NASA astronaut Cady Coleman took her place on the space station. Two instruments belonging to members of the acclaimed Irish folk music group went with her — the pennywhistle of Chieftains founder Paddy Moloney and the 100-year-old Irish flute of Chieftains flutist Matt Molloy. Then, on St. Patrick's Day, Coleman recorded a video of herself playing them. Watching that video was incredible enough, says the 73-year-old Moloney, who lives in Naples part time with his wife, Rita. But then, Coleman also called Moloney on his cell phone from the space station to chat more about her performance.

2014 World Cup: Ghana midfielder Agyemang-Badu scores late equaliser for Udinese in Serie A
By Akyereko Frimpong Manson
Follow Akyereko on Twitter: @AkyerekOfficial
Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu stole a point for Udinese with a last-gasp strike as they held Hellas Verona to a 2-2 draw in the Italian Serie A on Saturday evening.
The powerful midfielder has scored twice on a row and taken his season's tally to 5 goals in 27 games.
Verona were heading for a 2-1 win at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi until the Ghana international climbed off the bench to power a home a sensational low-volley to peck the scoring and earn a point for his side.
A strike in each halve from Luca Toni and Iceland international Emil Hallfreðsson gave the host a comfortable 2-0 lead but Antonio Di Natale halved the scoring with a powerful finish in the 56th minute and Badu settled the scores with a 92nd minute bullet.
