What is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema is swelling in an arm, leg or abdomen caused by a dysfunction in the body's lymphatic system.
Primary Lymphedema is caused by a defect in lymph vessels or lymph nodes at birth, which can
result in swelling at any time throughout life.
Secondary Lymphedema is caused by injury or surgical trauma to lymph vessels or nodes. The
most common cause of secondary lymphedema is surgery and radiation for cancer, or venous
dysfunction in the legs.
Signs and Symptoms
Swelling, pain and heaviness in the arm or leg are the most common symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential. When left untreated the lymph vessels and surrounding tissues may become harder and less elastic. This may result in greater swelling.
Who is at risk?
Anyone who has sustained trauma to the lymph system is at risk. People who have had nodes
removed followed by chemotherapy or radiation are at higher risk. Lymphedema may occur within
a few days of surgery or even several years later. Infection is the primary cause of lymphedema.
People who are overweight or have problems with venous return are also at risk.
While there is no cure, lymphedema can be controlled with proper treatment. Mountain States
Rehabilitation at Johnston Memorial Hospital provides lymphedema treatment to meet each
person's individual needs.
Therapy is provided by a certified lymphedema physical therapist and a licensed physical therapist
assistant. Treatment includes:
• Evaluation
• Education
• Compression
• Manual lymph drainage
• Exercises
• Prevention
The risk of developing lymphedema is always present when trauma occurs to the lymph system.
To decrease the risk be sure to maintain a healthy diet, proper weight control, an active lifestyle,
practice good skin care, avoid infections, wear loose clothing and jewelry, and check the arm or
leg often for swelling and skin changes.
Facts and symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction
Mountain States Rehabilitation at Johnston Memorial Hospital offers confidential evaluation and treatment for people with pelvic floor dysfunction.

Anthony Swarzak, Twins unable to hold 4-run lead in loss to Yankees
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
NEW YORK -- Curtis Granderson hit three home runs in the first four innings and matched a career high with five hits, leading the New York Yankees to a 7-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night.
Granderson homered in each of his first three at-bats, driving in four runs, and helped Phil Hughes overcome a four-run first to secure his first victory of the season.
Mark Teixeira hit his first home run of the year and the Yankees earned a split of the four-game series. The Twins have not won a series in New York since 2001, a year before Ron Gardenhire took over as their manager.
The skinny
Granderson got two chances to tie the major league record of four homers in a game. In the sixth, he lined a single to right field. In the eighth, with much of the remaining crowd standing, he beat out a dribbler down the first base line. He was then caught stealing.
Granderson homered to right-center in the first inning and hit a soaring, two-run shot into the second deck in right field in the second, both off Anthony Swarzak (0-3).
In the fourth, Granderson hit a line drive to the short right field porch against Jeff Gray and came out of the dugout for a curtain call. Granderson is the first player to hit three homers in a big-league game this year.
The three-homer game was the first for a Yankees player since Alex Rodriguez hit three at Kansas City on Aug. 14, 2010. Granderson has 13 career multihomer games. This was his first with more than two home runs.
The Yankees have had 28 three-homer games but only one of four homers, by Lou Gehrig in 1932.
Mariano Rivera, the fifth Yankees pitcher, worked a perfect ninth for his third save of the season and record 606th of his career.
Fighting to keep his spot in the rotation with Andy Pettitte and Michael Pineda getting closer to being ready to join the team, Hughes (1-2) gave up six runs and six hits -- two earned -- in 5 1/3 innings.
Turning point
For the third time in this series, the Yankees fell behind in the first. Ryan Doumit hit a two-run single to left that beat the shift. The Twins had loaded the bases on a single, a throwing error by second baseman Eduardo Nunez and a walk.
Danny Valencia then hit a long double to left-center on an 0-2 pitch to make it 4-0.
Teixeira also homered in the first, a two-run shot to almost the same spot near the Yankees bullpen in right-center that Granderson's drive landed. A notoriously slow starter, Teixeira homered in his 46th at-bat this season.
Derek Jeter had an RBI single in the second for his 3,110th hit, tying him with childhood idol Dave Winfield for 18th on the career list.
Swarzak had pitched better than his record suggested, receiving only one run of support in each of his first two starts, but he struggled from the start in this one. He gave up six runs and eight hits in 2 2/3 innings.
Twins shortstop Jamey Carroll made a diving stab of Jeter's grounder in the first and an over-the-shoulder, diving catch on Robinson Cano's pop to shallow left field in the second.
Numbers game
19: Combined runs scored by the Twins and Yankees in the first inning of this series.
12: Number of major league players who have hit three home runs in the first four innings of a game, according to STATS LLC and the SABR Home Run Log. Alfonso Soriano was the last to do it for the Chicago Cubs on June 8, 2007, against Atlanta.
Health report
LHP Glen Perkins pitched in Thursday's game after arriving in town on Wednesday. Perkins was treated in the Twin Cities for inflammation around his radial nerve after the Twins' weekend series against the Texas Rangers.
On deck
Friday: @ Tampa Bay, 6:10 p.m. RHP Liam Hendriks (0-0, 1.50 ERA) vs. LHP Matt Moore (0-1, 5.54)

Cornerstone University and head baseball coach David Mitroff are excited to announce the signing of Geren Albury, a shortstop from Christian Home and Bible School in Mount Dora, Florida. Born and raised in the Bahamas, Geren moved to Mount Dora two years ago and has become a fixture at shortstop for the Bulldogs. The left-handed hitter hit .396 as a junior and is off to a fantastic start to his senior season. The slick fielding Albury hopes to be one of the foundational pieces in the baseball program at Cornerstone.
When asked about his choice of Cornerstone University, Geren said, "I chose it because I love the Christian atmosphere and I want to play at a place and in a way to glorify God. I want to be a part of a program where I can help build camaraderie with my teammates and hopefully compete for a championship right away."
Coach Mitroff said, "We are thrilled to bring Geren Albury aboard the Cornerstone University baseball team. We believe that he will be an impact player from the moment he steps on campus. He is an excellent player, leader, teammate, and student and we believe he will make an impact to our university that is beyond baseball."

Editorial: Lapu-Lapu statue home soon-A A +A
Friday, June 27, 2014
SO the controversial 40-foot brass statue of Lapu-Lapu at the Luneta Park will soon be transferred to Punta Engaño in the city in Cebu that carries his name? This is an interesting development, although, considering the circumstances, this can signify either defeat or welcome.
The statue was donated by the Korean Freedom League in 2004 when the tourism secretary was former senator Richard Gordon, who thought that placing it at the Luneta Park was a good fit. The move was opposed by the National Historical Institute (NHI), which considers the park as the sole domain of Jose Rizal and other martyrs executed there by the Spaniards.
NHI head Ambeth Ocampo, a Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist who became a Benedictine monk, insisted that putting the Lapu-Lapu monument at the Luneta was a desecration of the park's status as a national historical site.
What followed was a barrage of criticisms targeted at the project mostly from Manila-based personalities and opinion-makers, some of whom even went to the extent of putting down the chieftain's heroism and his triumph against a Spanish expeditionary force led by Ferdinand Magellan in Mactan island in 1521.
Many Cebuanos, as expected, defended the move. And because the administration of then president Gloria Macapaga-Arroyo didn't budge from its stance, the Lapu-Lapu statue remained standing at the Luneta and was aptly referred to as the Statue of the Sentinel of Freedom.
Having a Lapu-Lapu monument at a national park did serve the purpose of putting up statues for our heroes. Many non-Cebuanos who visited the park were prompted to learn more about the Mactan chieftain and his place not only in Philippine but also in world history.
But the fact remains that some personalities resented the decision of Gordon and the Arroyo administration. These personalities may soon be saying "good riddance" with the uprooting of the statue from the Luneta Park and its transfer to Mactan island.
Cebuanos, however, would welcome the transfer of the statue, a move actually initiated by the Lapu-Lapu City Government. After eight years, the statue will finally be home.

Lane County takes swine flu precautions
EUGENE, Ore. - Swine flu cases across the world are rising, but they have not yet hit Oregon. According public health officials in a Monday afternoon news conference, Lane County has been preparing for an outbreak for almost a decade.
"We don't know how bad, or how serious this one behaves because we're just starting to pin down what the nature of this particular flu is," said Dr. Sarah Hendrickson, Lane County Public Health Officer.
While Eugene health experts are on alert, it's business as usual for some public institutions.
Representatives for both Bethel and Eugene 4J school districts said over the phone Monday morning, they aren't taking any special precautions with students, but nursing staff are keeping a lookout for kids who may be experiencing flu-like symptoms.
On the other hand, the Eugene Airport set up cleaning stations with sanitizers and anti-bacterial wipes throughout the facility. The airport doesn't get any international flights, but a spokesperson said it's up to the airlines to determine if they would deny boarding to any travelers who are showing flu-like symptoms.
Hospitals are taking precautions too. Those visiting Sacred Heart Medical Center may be asked to wear a face mask if they're showing the signs.
There's not a vaccine or any means of prevention for this strain of flu, but within this week the federal government will be releasing a shipment of anti-viral medications that county doctors will use to treat the strain.
Staff with Lane County Public Health are working around the clock to answer your questions about the swine flu and have set up an information line at 682-4181. It will be updated each day as information comes in.

Common Mistakes And Tips: Henna For Hair
After so many years of doing henna and natural herbs for hair, and getting all sorts of questions, I really felt we could use a good post on common mistakes and errors, when it comes to henna for hair (and herbs). We've included some amazing tips that everyone should know.
This list will never be complete, and we'll need all of you to help add to it. Henna and natural hair care is all about being open, having a good vibe, being natural, and accepting each and every recipe as special, and unique to every person.
- Henna is a plant, not a chemical, or ink. Henna is a natural plant, and it grows in very hot climates. As a natural plant it makes only one color: orange-reddish tones. Plants don't give us more then one color. Typically blueberries stain blue, just as henna stains red. Commercial boxes of henna will tell us they are henna "colors", but in fact they are pre-mixed boxed of henna that contain other herbs, and ingredients (sometimes even chemicals, additives, or metallic salts). It's also not an ink. Henna powder is mixed into a henna paste, which can be used to dye your hair (permanent until it grows out), or to create henna body art designs (temporary) on the skin. Please read our recipes and how to's section to find out how.
- Henna colors, is this possible? A lot of commercial boxed henna hair dyes will have a variety of colors available. Natural and 100% pure henna only dyes orange-reddish tones. Please always read the list of ingredients on the boxes you purchase, or just purchase 100% pure henna powder from a reliable supplier.
- Henna will not lighten your hair tone. Henna is a chemically-free all natural hair dye. It doesn't contain chemicals, or bleaching ingredients that would lighten your hair.
- Neutral Henna. Cassia obovata is sometimes called neutral henna, but in fact it is another plant that has a low yellow dye molecule, that can color grey, light, and blond hair. On dark hair, cassia obovata will not usually show any color. Using cassia obovata will give you all the benefits of henna, but it does have to be done a bit more often, as the results are not as long term as henna is.
- Black Henna. Indigo is sometimes called black henna, but this is yet another plant that will color the hair brown to black tones (must be used with henna to give these results). Indigo does not have dye release the same way that henna does, so it must be mixed and used right away, or within 15-20 minutes. Please make sure your indigo does not contain PPD, which is can be quite damaging to the hair, and skin.
- If I use henna I won't ever be able to use chemical dyes/treatments on my hair. As long as you use 100% pure henna powder, then yes you can use chemical dyes/treatments as you normally do. You won't have to wait months to do your chemical treatments/dyes as the hair dresser would like to tell you. Keep in mind, that the hair industry is run by major companies that push all types of chemical products. They are in no way trained, or specializing in henna, and natural hair care (for the most part). You should give your hair a break in between treatments. Roughly about 1-2 weeks.
- How much henna do we need to use for our hair? No, you don't need 500 grams of henna powder to color (treat) bra strap length (BSL) hair. First thing that needs to be asked is, how long is your hair, and secondly, how thick is your hair. Those are questions that need to be answered first in order to access how much henna powder you'll need. You also don't want to spend more money on products then you have to.
General speaking, shoulder length hair needs about 100 grams of powder, bra strap length about 200-250 grams, hip length about 300-350 grams, and so on.
- Should I use lemon juice in my recipe? No, you don't have to use lemon juice as your primary, and only liquid ingredient in your henna (herbal) hair recipe. So many people would have turned away and abandoned henna and natural herbal hair care, if they thought they could only use lemon juice. Lemon juice is acidic, and can be very drying on your hair. You can add a small splash of lemon juice, if you'd like. We usually add a bit of lemon juice. The most highly recommend liquid to use is warm water. You can even use tea (any variety of your choice), or coffee brews as well (for dryer scalps be careful with these as they can also be a bit drying). Chamomile tea has become quite popular to use in henna hair recipes.
- Is henna a temporary hair dye? No, henna is not temporary. It is a permanent hair dye. Henna alone only dyes orange-red tones. The only way to remove it is to let it grow out, or cut your dyed hair. That is why it is always recommended you do hair strand tests before making the "full head" committment.
- Can henna, and herbs for hair be drying? Yes they can be drying. If you have a dry scalp, then you will need to moisturize. You can add moisturizing oils, yoghurt, or a conditioner to your henna recipe, or use a good hair oil after your herbal hair treatment.
- Does henna lock out moisture? Some people believe that because henna coats the hair strand that no amount of moisturization can reach it. In fact no, henna will not lock out moisture from your hair. Oil, and condition your hair as usual, and as needed. The results will be amazing, and your hair will get all the moisturization it needs.
- Using a metal bowl, or spoon is it safe or not? When using pure henna powder (body art quality), and herbs for hair, you can use stainless steel bowls. Traditionally, they have used iron bowls, as it has shown to bring our more dye release. We typically use a spatula to mix it. We don't usually use plastic bowls because they are porous, and the herbs will stain the bowl. The commercial boxes of henna, and henna "colors" that contain other ingredients, herbs, additives, metallic salts, etc..would more so cause reactions with metal bowls, then 100% pure herbs would.
- Can henna loosen my curl pattern? Yes, a lot of people have seen loosening effects of their curls when using henna and/or cassia obovata. There is a small percentage of people that don't get any loosening of their curls. If you prefer to maintain some of your curl, then add amla powder to bring them back. Keep in mind, that amla powder also tones down the red of henna. You can also use amla powder in your henna/cassia recipe to maintain the curls in your hair, in case you don't want to lose your curl pattern.
- So many henna powders. How do I choose? Keep in mind that some henna companies do re-name their henna powders, and this causes more confusion then necessary. The basic, and most important information would be which country is the henna from, how fresh is it (current crop year is best), and how well sifted is it? Please read: How to Choose the Right Henna Powder. There is no henna for a particular race or culture. Henna doesn't discriminate. It is for everyone to use. If you were to say that a particular henna powder is very well sifted and therefore better to use on curly or african hair, then that we'd understand. But giving a henna powder a new name, is just for marketing purposes. If your henna comes marked with Jamila henna powder in red writting in any format on the foil packaging, then that henna is Jamila henna powder, not any other generic name that it has been re-named. Please read more on Jamila Henna.
- Body Art Quality: What does that mean? This is another marketing term that basically means 100% pure henna powder. This pure henna powder is safe enough to use for body art, and most likely finely sifted. Body Art Quality can't apply to any of the other herbs we use on our hair, because that would mean we are using these herbs for body art, and we aren't. They are being used for hair usage. Make sure you get yourself 100% pure henna, and herbs. Getting organic herbs is even better because you are guaranteed that the company/farm has gotten proper certification, and inspection that there are no pesticides used, and is an overall healthier, and safer product.
- My katam/indigo didn't work for me. Indigo and Katam should be mixed seperately from the henna paste, in a seperate bowl. They are fussy herbs, and need to be started out in their own bowl. Allow it to sit 15-20 minutes, and then put the indigo/katam paste into the henna paste (bowl).
Tips that work!
- Putting henna (and any herbs) onto damp hair really helps it go on much easier. Also applying indigo onto damp hair (with a dash or so of salt) has gotten the indigo to absorb better and give even darker, richer black color results.
- Adding sugar to your recipe makes the henna paste smoother.
- Pre-oil your hair, if you tend to get really dry when using henna, and herbs in your hair. This will give you the moisture boost you need. This also helps prevent dripping when dyeing your hair. Some of the best hair oils to use are olive oil, coconut oil, argan oil, and camellia oil.
- In order to get deeper, richer red results use a good, fresh henna powder that is known for giving rich red results (such as yemeni henna). After 2-3 applications, the color will deepen further.
- Wash your henna, and herbal hair treatments out really well. Use a lot of conditioner to help with the process. If you don't wash it all out well, then your scalp will feel itchy, and gritty.
- Rmemeber to always be opened minded, and if needed, adjust your recipe to suit your hair. Just because someone else does it, doesn't always make it right for you.
- Keep your recipe simple. Don't get overwhelmed with a lot of the other ingredients that are added to recipes.
Does henna make your hair longer ?
Hi Khadija,
What are the benefits of adding brahmi to henna? I see it in a lot of recipes on hair blogs.
Thanks, Khadija. So does brahmi darken the henna tone, similar to amla?
I think I am going to add brahami to my routine also when I order my amla an henna,and minio butter.
Khadija, how much brahmi do I add per 100 grams of henna?
how hot should be the water, when I use a mix of henna, indigo and other herbs?
Long post incoming..
I have thick, dense all natural salt and pepper (dark brown with the odd auburn strand) hair that is between 1.5″ and 2″. The salt portions are wide temple streaks at 98% but the remaining are random throughout at maybe 5-10% saturation. I have hennaed in the distant past with horrible results. Main issue was the orange hair result and extreme dryness afterward. I would like to try again while my hair is very short but am uncertain which brand would be best given that I have sensitive facial skin that is fair toned (not pale but not olive) that sunburns easily and always has a red flush. I am worried that my red face will not suit the orange base of henna. I have had a medium shade of (chemical hair dye)copper auburn that looked okay. Is it possible to obtain a similar shade using just 100% henna or would it need to be reduced with the addition of a different herb? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
"A rich red would be yemeni and Red Raj but with some indigo so it's not too bright either. At least 75% henna and 25% indigo"
Would it have to be indigo to reduce the brightness? Or could I use amla or brahmi or a similar herb? I would like to encourage my scalp to be happier, and my hair to be healthier, stronger and grow longer if possible, combining the herbs into a one paste application? Yes, I am a little confused still even after reading the posts about recipe combinations and ratios.
Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it truly.
I purchased the Sukesh Ayurveda a few weeks past and I am thinking of trying that along with the indigo and the henna combined into one paste. Just need to decide between the two henna brands that you recommended I try.
I am really hoping you can help…
About a month and half ago, by mistake, instead of using "neutral henne" on my hair I used "black henne". I am a real blond (although also regularly help nature with getting highlights at hairdressers) and my hair turned bottle green!
I immediately went to the hairdressers but after after spending 2 hours applying and rinsing, applying and rinsing, specific treatments to lighten hair, he told me that the only solution to hide the green was to turn me into a brunette. I hated myself as a brunette… and anyway, with every shampoo, little by little the brown washed out and the green returned!
Some of my hair (thinner, more fragile ones at front) also started to go gummy and melt away! On the advice of my longtime trusted hairdresser from my hometown, I treated it everyday to stregnthen it and then went to her. She made me highlights to try to get my blond back. It helped but the really dark green parts are now blue. She told me that the only thing to do that MIGHT help, was to go in the sun and to try some highlights again in a couple of months.
It turns out that the sun does help but I cannot go on a 2 week beach holiday right now!
Another piece of advice i heard a few times was to apply Ketchup – it is said to work! What do you think, is this true? and if so, how long to i apply for?
Thank you fro your help, any advice would be greatly appreciated…
Hi there! I sent an email to the general "contact us" email before I realized that people can comment here and get answers! My apologies for repeating myself!
For the first time in about 15 years, last week, I did a henna. (I used to do them back in high school all the time!!) Since my old source for henna was long since gone, I went to a local store and purchased a henna and applied it. (I mixed it up, applied, wrapped it in plastic-wrap then with a towel, and slept on it for 8 hours.) I'm not really happy with how it turned out. The colour isn't very vibrant, in fact it's darker than I had hoped. AND it really didn't take well on my roots. SUPER disappointing.
(The product I used was LUSH Cosmetics Caca Rouge.)
My hair is naturally a medium brown; I've chemically dyed it red for years. I'm always looking to achieve a natural red shade (more towards the copper spectrum) and NEVER with purple/mahogany/cherry-red/garnet tones.
In fact, the colour I was hoping to get was the same as the girl in the picture on this post… the third one down, "Sarah", as it's labelled!
So, after that long-winded explanation… two questions:
1) Which of your henna colours should I order to get "Sarah's" colour from the picture above?
2) If I were to try another henna right now, would my hair just end up going darker?? I definitely don't want darker. So, does that mean I should wait a while before trying again?
Thanks SO much!!!
Hi, I'm planning on purchasing some henna and Im not quite sure which one would be best for me. Tell you a little about myself. I have bra strap length African American hair. It is very thick and dense. I would like to take my dark brown (mistaken for black sometimes) hair into the spectrum of the 3rd picture down on this post. This would be my second application as i previously have tried using LUSH Caca Rouge with a little success (my brown length is subtly highlighted but looks a little chestnutty overall. My previously chemically dyed ends turned a beautiful red). I know that a second application would not likely produce the results i seek that i'll probably have to do more applications but if you can put me in the right direction of which one to use to get the rich red i desire. preferably with no orange undertones. I dont know if i should use the Raj Red (as i thought i'd made my final decision until reading your post) or the Yemini or the Jamilla. Can you help???
Also do you think that 200-250 grams would be enough for my hair length i was thinking i might need 300-400. Can you help me with that as well?
I believe that is all. Your other tips have given me a great sense of direction as far as how to handle my henna process. Thanks in advance!
I wonder if you might be able to help me with a henna question. I have thick curly BSL virgin hair that is medium to dark golden brown. I have about 6 inches of silvers sprinkled lightly throughout my crown, at my ears and above and they are especially evident at any parting of my hair. I would say it is about 10-15% silver but increasing all the time. I am 33 and do not mind their presence at all so I am not trying to "dye" over them.
I have liked cassia but now I am interested in the glossing, coloring (subtle coloring) and conditioning benefits of henna. However, as I like my silver hairs i do not want to cover them and subsequently begin the task of maintaining their coverage every 2-4 weeks as the silver base grows back in. Is there a way I too can use henna without having the grey become orange? Thank you!
Out of the Red Raj and the Yemeni, i know that the Raj has the highest dye content but according to one of the blog posts it said Yemeni produces the best red out of all. That's why i got a little confused, which one would you say would be my best choice. I plan to add hibiscus and use red zinger tea after oiling my wet hair a bit. do you think that is too much and will dilute the color process?
I have just applied the Red Raj for the first time on my naturally medium dark brown hair and it turned a deep dark majogany color. It is a pretty color but too dark for this summer, I look pale and washed out. Is there a way to lighten up the henna with another product or herbs? Or is there another henna I could do right now to lighten my hair up for the summer? Thanks so much!!
Ahhh! Thanks so much for the info. I think in that case the Yemeni it shall be since I'm already dark haired. I really appreciate the help you guys!!
Hi, all you wonderful helpful souls! I ordered 100g of Red Raj a few months ago and am finally going to go for it for the first time. My main question is about dye release time. So I'm planning on mixing my Red Raj with lemon juice – do you recommend this, or do you advise mixing it with other stuff? I'm also curious about dye release time. My house doesn't have A/C, so I know it's going to get pretty warm soon enough. Should I plan on only waiting a few hours if the house gets above 75F degrees? Also, and this might be really silly but I can't really find an answer for it, but where's the best place to store henna in between the dye release and application? I was planning on doing a strand test, so can I just stow it in the fridge? This is silly, I know, but I don't want to risk ruining a batch of beautiful henna!
Okay! I've heard before that the henna needs some sort acid for dye release, which is why I was waiting on lemon juice. So that isn't true?
Thank you!
Can anyone tell me what happens if I use walnut dye as the liquid to mix henna? I am dark with a lot of white and am now allergic to the health shop dyes. Going back to henna is, of course healthier, but the henna doesn't really take on the white roots. I don't want red roots and dark mass as it will look odd. So I am trying to darken the roots without risk.
I tried the walnut dye (I used shells and boiled water) on the roots and it makes them a very pale brown at the moment. Again, not a look I want!
Anyone out there tried to mix henna with walnut?
Hi I just got some henna, I have little longer shoulder length thin straight dark brown hair with a few greys.
I got Moroccan, amala, indigo, argan and camellia oil. My hair gets dry very easily and oily at the scalp. I would like a natural brown color with some red, hopefully more body and stronger, healthier hair(is that too much???). Would you please recommend the ratio and amounts of products to use, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. how much oil to use and when?? how to prepare the paste and when to add the different components.
Thank you
I have grey hairs. Could you please suggest me henna, indigo, brahmi & amla proportion to apply.
I would like to know the brand name for all these products above mentioned & suggest me the details for online purchase or purchase at shop.
I would like to know the side effects of these 4 products combination if apply on my hair.
Please guide me.
Hi, I was on the search for Red Zinger tea to add to my henna mix but unfortunately i can not find any on the ground (I'd have to order it online and if i do it'll cost alot more than it would in the store). Is Raspberry Zinger ok to use mix with hibiscus powder and Yemeni?
Can I continue to relax my hair after using Henna/Indigo? I usually go for Japanese straightening.
Hi Khadija,
I used 2 TB. Hibiscus powder and 3 TB. Brahmi powder with room temp water in my Jamilla henna today. I noticed the dye release was not as great as with using Amla powder. Should I add another acid to the next batch, like 1 TB. of ACV? I am trying to give Amla and lemon juice a break for a while.
Hi Khadija again! I was about to place an order for the new crop of Red Raj and noticed your new Sukesh Ayurveda. This sounds interesting will all the great herbs in one pack. My usual questions (lol!):
1. If I try this as is, how often do I use it and for what purpose? Weekly deep conditioning? Do you recommend mixing with water or tea?
2. What is the advantage of adding to henna? How much? Would I need an acid, or is the Amla enough for dye release?
So excited to try henna on my hair! I have lost a lot of my natural red in recent years and would love to find a natural way to put it back.
Concerned about my grey (or really white) hairs going pink though. Do you have any tips to avoid this?
Hi Khadija!!
I'm so excited!! I am 16 and have never considered dyeing my hair with chemicals even though everyone else is already bleached. I'm looking to dye my hair a rich, medium strength red more than coppery. I have dark blonde hair.
Would you recommend using Jamila (I have heard it is a coppery red) or Yemeni henna (a bit redder maybe?)

Jobs: The Report, the Spin, and the Fear
1:03 PM, Feb 7, 2014 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
The monthly employment numbers are out and even the New York Times is dismayed. The economy added 113,000 jobs in January, which was (all together now) unexpectedly short of the 180,000 economists were predicting. This news:
The White House, where they have learned to always look on the bright side, responded in upbeat fashion, calling the report:
And, of course, there were some who simply did not believe the numbers and/or blamed the weather. Like Mark Zandi who said:
Maybe. But, again, maybe not. Other numbers and reports were released earlier this week and unexpected or not, they were not cause for optimism.
For instance:
* Consumer confidence fell last week to the lowest level in more than two months as views on the economy, personal finances and buying climate worsened. Bloomberg
* U.S. manufacturing activity slowed sharply in January on the back of the biggest drop in new orders in 33 years while construction spending barely rose in December, pointing to some loss of steam in the economy. – Reuters
* U.S. exports fell 1.8% to a seasonally adjusted $191.29 billion in December from a month earlier … Economists at J.P. Morgan Chase and Barclays Capital lowered their fourth-quarter estimates for annualized GDP growth to 2.8% from 3.2%. Capital Economics said the rebound in the monthly trade deficit means fourth-quarter GDP growth will likely be revised down to an annual pace of about 2.9%. – Wall Street Journal
Meanwhile, much of America still considers the economy to be in recession and if there is more news of this sort, they'll likely be right.

I have also found that the mail, USPS, has a great price for mailing canning gifts. United States Postal Service has free boxes for their priority mail Flat Rate Medium service and its a perfect size and a reasonable price in that "If it fits, it ships". The weight isn't an issue and from the packing that I have done recently you can send quite a few jars in this box. For the medium box I sent 4 half pints and a pint and they made it to their destination without a scratch. Here are a couple of additional tips and some from my friend Maria at Knit & Play with Fire to ensure a safer canning delivery.
|Ziploc jar for leakage
|Ziploc jar and roll
|"Burrito Roll" the jar - Bubbles out
|Add packaging to the bottom
|Fit in box leaving space
5. When ready to seal make sure that the lid of box closes comfortably and doesn't feel like it is touching or crushing down on the jars.
|Mark "Fragile" on box
7. Make sure that your address label is easily read. It would be better to take the time to type the label either in the USPS site or on your computer using a word processing software.
Note: If you use the USPS site you can pay for the postage on line and just take the package to the post office without waiting in line. (Bonus over the holiday)
8. If you are going to mail your package pay the extra .50c (or free if you do it online) and get the delivery confirmation so that you know when it has arrived.
For the holidays here are some additional ideas from Maria:
- You can wrap the jars nicely in a pretty tissue paper or wrapping paper before putting them in the ziploc bag. Tissue paper rolls around the jars nicely.
- If you are sending other items like a knitted scarf that is squishy, it works well as padding.
- A lot of newspaper works as well as bubble wrap if you do not have any. Shredded paper compacts and is not a good packing tool other than to fill in voids provided you pack it in really tight.
- Save packing materials all year round to use for holiday shipping. If you have something fragile do not pack it inside something else without a lot of padding. I had an Ebay shipper stick the glass lid and gasket to an old Ball bale jar do this. The jar was fine but the glass lid? Broken.
A special thanks to Dayna for the original packaging and props for this post. Also a thanks to Maria for the additional tips which changed the way I packaged my jars!

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison announced on Thursday, Dec. 20 that $1,545,083 in U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program (CEDAP) grants will provide equipment and related training to enhance overall preparedness and first response capabilities for Texas law enforcement and emergency responders.
The Houston County Office of Emergency Management/Fire Marshal's Office is slated to receive $11,794.
According to DHS, these grants will be used to equip and train smaller jurisdictions and eligible metropolitan areas to improve their capability and capacity to respond to urgent situations.
Funding will be used to provide CEDAP personal protective equipment, thermal imaging, night vision and video surveillance equipment, chemical and biological detection equipment, information technology and risk management equipment and interoperable communications equipment.
"These grants will provide our law enforcement officers and first responders with the resources they need to protect our communities and save lives," Sen. Hutchison said.

Mill Creek Hawks (7-AAAAAA)
Coach: Shannon Jarvis
Record: 3-2, 2-1 region
Last week: Lost to Norcross 49-41
Meadowcreek Mustangs (7-AAAAAA)
Coach: Deario Grimmage
Record: 0-4, 0-2 region
Last week: Lost to Duluth 52-6
Mill Creek fell into a 35-point deficit in the third quarter to Norcross last week and rallied to make it a close game. A week after the loss, head coach Shannon Javis was still bitter about his team's first-half performance.
"We're going to get it corrected. You can mark my words," Jarvis said.
Jarvis will see if those adjustments work Friday as they travel to Norcross to play Meadowcreek.
The Mustangs are winless this season and are coming off a 52-6 loss to Duluth a week ago. Keyon Rich had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, while running back Ryan Moore continues to be the bright spot on offense.
"His kids are going to play every single play and give everything they've got," Jarvis said. "That's a reflection of Coach (Deario) Grimmage."
Mill Creek's Michael Cheeks had 142 yards in kickoff returns a week ago, including a touchdown. He also made two catches for 62 yards.
"He had a great game and we were pleased with him," Jarvis said. "He had a couple of big catches as well."
The Hawks also got stellar play out of B.J. Harmon (eight tackles, one pass breakup) in the secondary.
Last meeting: Mill Creek won 59-0 last year
Directions to Meadowcreek High School: From I-85, go east on Beaver Ruin Road to Steve Reynolds Boulevard and turn right. School is on the right.

Making realistic concrete
By Mike1810 on Feb 23, 2002 05:03 PM
Hello everyone I'm new to the forum and would like to introduce myself. My name is Mike Hagelsieb and am a college student in California. I began my journey into 3d computer graphics about half a year ago and am loving every minute of it. I was wondering if someone could offer any advice on how to texture a large area of sidewalk,driveway etc. with a realistic concrete texture. I've found many textures but when I go into photoshop to make them seamless they still look flat and non life-like. I would really appreciate ANY suggestions. Keep up the great posts! Thanks!
Re: Making realistic concrete
By Yanni_Mac on Feb 23, 2002 05:29 PM
Add a bump map to make it look more textured. I would use a map that looks grainy, like sand. You could also add a noise modifier to your sidewalk to make it look more realistic. Almost no sidewalk is going to be perfectly symetrical and flat.

Try to use displacement modifier to create geometry from the shape of texture and dont forget to use the same material id
for better results use some light and check shadow ON

This week, a new study finds many young women who experienced an unintended pregnancy thought it couldn't happen to them, a home STD test might provide false reassurance, and Mr. Balls reminds us about testicular cancer.
People discovering they are HIV-positive may find themselves facing prison time. And that has got to stop.
Women will continue to die far too young in South Sudan if public health strategies fail to reach youth before they become sexually active, and policies fail to address the family planning needs of communities.
According to a new report, the United States has the highest first-day death rate in the industrialized world. Addressing this and related problems will require comprehensive efforts to reduce pervasive economic, social, and health disparities.

Last month, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights issued a final ruling in favor of the right to access in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Costa Rica. This is a win for women and Catholics and a blow to the bishops and conservatives who want to deny individuals the right to decide whether and when to have children.
Both the current anti-choice movement and a potential gun control movement share the feature of wanting to limit something that is legal but contested. As Robin Marty put it in a recent post, how do we make guns as difficult to get as an abortion?
Greece has been in the news for prosecuting HIV positive sex workers and posting the women's photographs on the Internet.

Coming from the public health perspective, it isn't a fun job to notify someone about their exposure to an STD, but it is fulfilling to know that you have helped keep someone healthy. So the next time the phone rings, keep in mind, it may not be the call you want, but it may be the call you get and it will help protect you.

Ashbourne family firm staff celebrate long service
Posted: April 16, 2014|
FOUR staff at Ashbourne family firm CW Sellors Fine Jewellery have notched up 25 years each with the company.
HR and personnel development manager Matthew Hatch, workshop managerPaul Barker, workshop supervisor Graham Harrison and lapidary technician Vanessa Woodhall have all been with the company for a quarter of a century.
To celebrate their long service, each member of the team has been presented with a personalised watch.
Founder and managing director Chris Sellors said: "We are incredibly proud of our long-serving team members.
"We'd like to thank them for their commitment and hard work over the years.
"The business has evolved and expanded exponentially over the past 25 years and our team members have developed in line with that, and I am sure will continue to do so.
"We are committed to personal development and encourage our team to evolve and develop their roles, ensuring sustainability not only from a business point of view but a personnel stance.
"We are a family business and treat our employees as part of that family unit, so we are delighted to have retained these key team members over the years.
"We look forward to their continued involvement in the company for many years to come."
Educated at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Graham joined the business after a stint at Derby College.
During his first year with the company, his studies continued with a silver-smithing course one day a week at Chesterfield College, alongside his in-house training.
Initially working on the lapidary side of the business, he later moved to work in the metal workshop.
His role has now evolved to focus on repairs.
The first to achieve the 25-year milestone, Graham said: "I was really surprised with the presentation of the watch.
"It's great to be recognised for the time I've spent with the business and I'm looking forward to what the future holds for me here."
Vanessa joined the business straight from finishing her studies at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School and was trained in-house through an apprenticeship style on-the-job role, learning all aspects of lapidary work including trimming, grinding, setting, finishing and polishing.
Also QEGS educated, Paul was trained in-house, initially in lapidary.
He has developed to work in all aspects of jewellery-making, including metal work, and has specialist skills in chain-making by hand.
Matthew began his training at the bench as an apprentice stone cutter before he progressed to become the stone workshop supervisor.
After this, he was promoted to workshop manager in 2002. As the company grew, his job moved more towards the HR role that it is today.

The proposal follows a live trial of ISP-level filtering conducted earlier this year. A report on the trial has been released and shows that the filtering of a defined list of websites can be conducted with 100% accuracy, with negligible impact on Internet speed. (Id.)
RC-rated material includes child sex-abuse content, bestiality, sexual violence (including rape), and detailed instructions on drug use or on committing crimes. The hosting of such material on Australian websites is currently prohibited and can be subject to "take-down" notices. The government's proposal will mean that a list of websites hosted overseas that have RC-rated content will be blocked by Australian ISPs. "It is important that all Australians, particularly young children, are protected from this material," Conroy said. (Hon. Stephen Conroy, Speech at Treasury Place, Melbourne: Measures to Improve Safety of the Internet for Families (Dec. 15, 2009), available at http://www.minister.dbcde.gov.au/media/speeches/2009/075.)
The RC Content list will be compiled through a public complaints mechanism. The government will also add specific website addresses with child abuse material that it becomes aware of through information sharing with "highly-regarded international agencies." (Id.) The "rigor and accountability of classification processes used by these agencies" will be assessed before their information is relied upon. (Id.) At the time he announced the policy, Conroy released a discussion paper seeking public comment on additional measures to ensure transparency and accountability in the processes leading to material being placed on the RC Content list. (Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Mandatory Internet Service Provider (ISP) Filtering: Measures to Increase Accountability and Transparency for Refused Classification Material – Consultation Paper (Dec. 2009), available at http://www.dbcde.gov.au/funding_and_programs/cybersafety_plan/transparen
The government's plans for compulsory internet filtering have been strongly criticized by Internet user groups, the pornography industry, and civil liberties proponents, both in Australia and overseas. Concerns include that the filter will be impractical to enforce, that legitimate websites will be blocked and the list of blocked websites kept secret, and that it will be ineffective because people will still be able to access prohibited material as the filter will only intercept accidental access.

|The Game Story:
|PORTLAND, Maine -- Junior midfielder Michael Woods (Kittery Point, Maine) scored an unassisted goal 19 seconds into overtime to lift the University of New England to a 12-11 victory over Lasell College in a men's lacrosse mutual opener Wednesday afternoon at Fitzpatrick Stadium.
Woods' unassisted tally in the extra session came after junior Steve Smith (Walpole, Mass.) had tied the game for the Nor'easters with 1:03 remaining in regulation.
Woods finished with four goals, while sophomore Dylan Thomas (Pleasantville, N.Y.) had three and a pair of assists. First-year Tyler Thomas (Pleasantville, N.Y.) scored twice and dished out three assists for the Nor'easters.
Junior Sean Speciale (Hillsborough, N.J.) and first-year Andrew Puopolo (Duxbury, Mass.) led the Lasers with three goals apiece. Senior Brian Yepez (Hillsborough, N.J.) chipped in a goal and three assists.
The Nor'easters built a 8-1 lead in the second period and looked as if they were going to little trouble with the Lasers. Lasell responded with three goals in the final 1:29 to cut the deficit to 8-4 heading into halftime.
The Lasers would score the lone tally in the third, then five of the first six goals in the fourth frame to take a 10-9 lead with 3:52 remaining.
Tyler Thomas countered for UNE nine seconds later to knot the score at 10 before Puopolo notched an unassisted goal at the 1:45 mark to put the visitors back on top. Dylan Thomas set-up Smith's game-tying score with just over a minute left in regulation, setting the stage for Woods' heroics.
UNE sophomore Nate Porter (Cohasset, Mass.) and Lasell junior Eric Walsh (Weymouth, Mass.) each recorded nine saves in goal.
Both teams return to action Saturday at home. The Nor'easters host Wheaton College, while the Lasers entertain Bates College. Each contest is slated to start at 1 p.m.

A biopic of Phil Spector has been put on hold following an injury to Bette Midler.
Filming on the biopic by HBO Films had to halted after Bette failed to turn up on set. According to Deadline it was discovered that the showbiz icon suffered a herniated disc and had to pull out because of doctor's orders.
She was due to play the troubled music producer's defence attorney on his first trial for murder.
The biopic is said to revolve around Linda Kenney Baden's relationship with her client. However, HBO are said to be now looking to recast the part.
Al Pacino will play the legendary producer who was made famous because of his wall of sound production.
Despite an original mistrial he was eventually found guilty of the murder of actress Lana Clarkson and sentenced to nearly 20 years in jail.
David Mamet is on writer and director duties, while Barry Levinson is producing the eagerly awaited biopic.

If you attended the Science Blogging Conference or read what people blogged about it, or said about it in subsequent interviews, you know how much fun it is to meet your favourite bloggers in real life. You gain a new perspective, you read them more diligently, you understand them better, and you have some calamari and beer.
So, we would like all the readers of Scienceblogs.com to organize local meetups. The organizing has already started (see here, here, here, here and here for examples). Rare are the people who read only one of us – most of our readers are shared across at least a few scienceblogs. Let's all meet in many locations around the country and the world.
How to organize? Join the Scienceblogs.com Facebook fan group and use the Wall and the Discussion Board to organize. The idea is for readers to organize this, not bloggers (we'll just show up if we live close by). So, if you are a reader, fan, commenter – do this, see who else in the group is from your area and decide on the place, date and time and let us know.
Recent new additions to scienceblogs.com may have changed this, but I think that North Carolina, with seven SciBlings, is still in the numerical lead over any other state or country. Thus, I expect there may be quite a lot of readers here as well. Heck, there are three of us hugging the few miles of US15-501 in the middle of the Triangle so even if just Sheril, Abel and I show up, it is already quite a meetup! And if it grows big, perhaps the other four will come from the western part of the state as well (or alternatively, organize another meetup in Charlotte).
Oh, and while you are on Facebook anyway, you might just as well join the A Blog Around The Clock readers' group, or the PLoS fan group, or just make me your friend.

A verse that people have often quoted to me regarding my relationships with guys is Proverbs 4:23:
"Guard your heart, for from it flow the springs of life."
I've never known exactly what that meant . . . just that I was somehow supposed to steel myself against the very thing I wanted most.
Now, I'm not going to go into the nuances of the Hebrew words—but I do want to share a couple of things God impressed on me as I was walking through a cherry orchard talking to Him about this recently:
1. Guarding my heart does not mean protecting myself from being hurt. There's no way I can insulate myself from any possibility of pain. Pain is a regular part of relationships in this broken world.
2. Guarding my heart does mean allowing no one access to that most central place of my affections but God. It means keeping the first commandment first—and loving Him with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength (Deut. 6:5).
If I can keep Christ central in my affections, if He is my dearest friend, if intimacy with Him is my number one pursuit, then my future husband will be one blessed guy. And, if I never marry, I will have already allowed Jesus to fill the empty places in my heart.
How about you? Are you regularly spending time sitting at Jesus' feet getting to know Him (Luke 10:39)? Do you have a plan for pursuing intimacy with Him?
So I decided right then and there that I would seek to know the Lord in a better way - to love Him and know Him the way He desires for me to know Him. I stopped eating lunch at work and I went to the chapel to read the Bible and pray. I haven't been able to do it everyday but most days, you will find me either in the corner of my office or in the chapel with an open Bible and a pad and pencil.
It's been a journey...I'm now in the book of Proverbs and have found myself almost on a daily basis, asking God for wisdom and instruction. It is my ultimate goal to spend the 1st hour of everyday and the last moments of everyday. with the Lord.

I think you are so on the right track in your thinking! I have heard it taught (by Nancy and others), and also experienced it myself, and also seen it in the lives of others -- that what you said is so true:
"If I can keep Christ central in my affections, if He is my dearest friend, if intimacy with Him is my number one pursuit, then my future husband will be one blessed guy. And, if I never marry, I will have already allowed Jesus to fill the empty places in my heart."
Wise words! I know of two situations right now where women have lost husbands. Both have experienced deep emptiness. In one case, the woman radiates Christ because He keeps filling those empty places. In the other, the void has caused serious depression (she needs to allow Jesus to fill her again; if you are led of the Lord, please pray for her).
Yes, I have a plan myself to keep drawing closer to the Lord. We must truly guard our hearts and not give them over to anything or anyone that would draw us away from Christ. I can relate to Vivian above, as my life is similar to hers. Vivian, I am praying for you -- may the Lord bless you, dear one! I pray you and I will both be faithful to arise early and seek our Beloved, who is truly our lifeline!
"Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD;
his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us as the showers,
as the spring rains that water the earth." (Hosea 6:3)
In His love to all you true women,

I so appreciate your encouragement...I have been recently pondering the true meaning of "guarding your heart", as I desire to remain faithful to my future husband (whoever he may be) as Proverbs 31 says, "The heart of her husband does safely trust in her"....I want that to be said of me even as a single woman. And like was mentioned earlier..."if I never marry, I will have already allowed Jesus to fill the empty places in my heart."
Thank-you for this very timely blog, Jesus has used this to encourage me along my path! :)
In Christ's Love,

I found myself on a mountain at the end of my rope. Before me appeared a much larger rope that led as far as the eye could see. I had been climbing the rope that I was on for so long and it seemed to lead no where. Sometimes the climb was easy,sometimes it was hard,but it never seemed to get me anywhere. After much struggle with the rope I was on,one day I took a leap of "Faith" and grabbed onto the much larger rope. I started climbing and a change came over me. The higher I got, the stronger I got.At the same time,I became more frightened for fear of falling. I stopped a few times to catch my breath but felt compelled to keep climbing. Then I noticed the more I climbed,the less afraid I became. When I looked up, I could see the top of the mountain,I was in the clouds. I had almost reached the top. My heart was pounding my energy was high and I notice there had been a change in me that had taken place. I reach the top and stood up. What I saw, was the most incredible view I had ever seen. My mind was clear and taking in all the beauty around me. My heart was so soft,I wanted to cry. My soul had been changed and I felt like a new person. I would never look at my life the same. I reflected on the rope that I had spent my whole life on and wondered why I thought that the rope I was on would lead me to happiness. After trying to absorb this overwhelming quest, I all the sudden felt a great desire to climb back down the rope and tell others what I had experienced. As I climbed down,I saw other people on the rope. Some were up high and some had just started the climb. But many people were right in the middle not moving. Not going up nor going back down. When I got to the beginning of the rope, I started telling everyone that would listen to me about the rope that led to the top. Most people wouldn't listen to what I had to say. They were so content with climbing their own rope, which I knew would lead them no where for I had been climbing the same type of rope for so many years. Some people saw the rope I was on but were to afraid to make the leap of "Faith". They were afraid of falling. I noticed that while telling people about the rope,the place seemed dark and cold. It was until I saw the light on the mountain top that I could distinguish the difference. The individual ropes that we climb represents us living our own life trying to achieve fame,fortune and success on our own. Living life to satisfy ourselves. The leap to the other rope is the leap of "Faith" when we surrender our lives to Jesus. Give your life and Receive eternal life. The rope of life represents the hand of God.Climb it diligently and always know....God will never let you fall. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Jesus has his hand out. Grab hold of him! The climb represents the struggles that we endure. God will give you the Holy Spirit to comfort you and encourage you on your climb+++ When you reach the top of the mountain,the scales fall off your eyes. You have achieved eternal life You acknowledge that you have been Born Again and you got to go tell someone!!! The people that stop on the rope and become comfortable, represent the Luke warm Christian that God will spew out of his mouth. One is either in the dark or in the light. There is nothing in between. If you are by the door in the dark....your still in the dark. The Lord wants us to have a great passion for him and be on fire for him. When you are in the dark,your eyes adjust. When most everyone around you is in darkness,you don't know your in the dark. It is only when you step into the light that you realize what a dark place you were in. I pray that this will encourage you and others to seek the lord. Love thy Lord God with all your Heart,Soul,Mind and Strength. Please allow me to share with you HOW to love our Lord God with all your heart,soul,mind and strength.

I am going through the same struggle right now. I broke up with my bf of 3 years because I felt that God was not centred in our relationship. I knew that we were both turning into people that we didn't want to become. It's been a hard jounrey but just remember our God is so faithful. He has made bold promises to us. He has our mightly creater and He will never forsaken us. Hold onto his love because it alone satisfies.

Michael Vanderbyl recently launched a stunning collection of neoclassical garden furniture called Azimuth for JANUS et Cie (janusetcie.com). The dean of design at California College of the Arts and a founder of the "San Francisco School" of graphic design, Vanderbyl is also a renowned designer of indoor and outdoor furnishings for Baker, Bernhardt, Bolier & Company, Teknion and many more. He and his wife Anna Hernandez, founder of Luna Textiles, designed their new Napa Valley home — and the Azimuth Collection to furnish it — and lived to tell about it.
Q. What's an azimuth?
A. It's a line you use when charting a course.
Q. Sounds nautical. You designed the graphics for the AmericaOne racing yacht, right?
A. Yes, Vanderbyl Design did the AmericaOne identity. But this reference is military. I was once a drill sergeant in the Army!
Q. Yessir! Well, this is about your furniture.
A. The new collection is all about clean, straight lines. Naturally, what a graphic designer loves — furniture I could live with.
Q. Designers are communicators. So what's your message in the Azimuth Collection?
A. We were missing big, comfortable outdoor furniture. I wanted a modernist treatment of classical forms, to look great in very traditional or very modern gardens. But not be vanilla. I looked to Roman grilles and Le Corbusier chairs to make a fresh language. This is all about true, modern neoclassical.
Q. And the collection is all about outdoors?
A. Designers are recognizing the garden as an extension of our living space: the terrace, pool, cabana. It's all an extension of home.
Q. Home design can be a marriage wrecker.
A. Anna and I have been together for 15 years. And we're freaks of nature — when we built our St. Helena house, we had a ball!
Q. Paint a sensory picture of the outdoors.
A. Our "garden" is the vineyards that completely surround us, cab and zin. After harvest, the perfume is amazing — we can get drunk smelling it! And what graphic designer wouldn't like those orderly rows?
Q. Not unlike your crisp, orderly furniture!
A. Exactly. Our garden is something that fits like a great suit of clothing. I wanted to express that same feeling in the furniture.

BOSTON (CBS.MW) -- The unabridged dictionary on my office bookshelf defines "hate" as "dislike greatly; to have great or extreme aversion to ... to wish to avoid."
So it's an appropriate use of the word to say that I hate broccoli, excessively humid weather, Barney the dinosaur, and much of the investment advice of Suze Orman.
But in a world that has grown to equate "hate" with the evils of "hate speech" or "hate crimes," the word takes on a very personal toll.
That's why Orman came onto my radio show last week, to find out the motivations behind my infrequent segments called "Why I Hate Suze Orman" and to try to convince me to feel otherwise.
It didn't work.
Orman, if you've somehow missed her, is the ubiquitous queen of personal finance. Her books have been huge best-sellers, she serves as personal finance editor at CNBC -- which airs her weekly television show -- and her specials have helped raise tons of money for public broadcasting stations nationwide.
It's no overstatement to say she has helped millions of people get a leg up on money management, helping them overcome the emotional issues that often get in the way of living a smart financial life. In many areas -- eliminating credit-card debt, for example -- Orman's suggestions are as sound as anyone's.
It would be wrong to diminish those accomplishments.
It would be equally wrong to ignore her faults.
My dislike for Orman is not personal. I have never met the woman and have spoken with her only during her time on the show. During our time together on-air -- you can hear the interview at the radio station's Web site -- she was gracious. She showed a lot of guts just coming on.
But there are plenty of times when her advice makes me crazy.
There's not enough space here to list my concerns individually, but if my "Why I Hate Suze" segments are to continue -- and they will, although I have offered listeners the chance to rename them to strike "hate" from the title -- a few key ones deserve a wider airing.
Here are some of my biggest beefs with Orman's advice:
It's too simplistic
In Orman's latest book, "The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life," she advocates reviewing your investments and giving each a rating of 1 to 5 based on what you feel best about. You keep the 5s, but sell off 25 percent of the 4s, 50 percent of the 3s and so on.
The idea is that it leaves you with a portfolio you are comfortable with.
The problem is that the things you are most comfortable with will be investments that have done well lately, while the ones that make you nervous will be those that have been in the tank. In 1999, this system would have had you loading up on tech stocks; today it would get you to pile whole hog into bonds.

AmTech sets higher sights for Apple

AmTech raises estimates
Apple's record June quarter serves as further proof that market bears are too pessimistic about the company, according to American Technology Research senior analyst Shaw Wu, who raised his full-year estimates despite Apple's own conservative guidance. "For fiscal year 2007, we are now modeling $23.6 billion and $3.65 (from $23.5 billion and $3.50) and for fiscal year 2008, $29.5 billion and $4.25 (from $30.2 billion and $4.10)," the analyst wrote in a research note obtained by MacNN. Wu points to Apple's continued ability to surprise, showcasing its ability as a large-cap multi-national company with a broad end-to-end portfolio -- which includes its Macs, iPods, iTunes Store, iPhone, and Apple TV. "We believe bears remain too pessimistic in underestimating Apple's profit potential and ability to generate strong cash flow," Wu said. "Moreover, bears have also underestimated bulls' ability to form more realistic expectations and focused too much on overzealous and sometimes outright irrational estimates." American Technology Research raised its 6-12 month price target from $165 to $185, but the firm warns that Apple shares will likely see a pull-back in the slower summer months -- particularly at the $135-140 level.
