I thought this would be a quick and easy article to write but as usual things turned out to be more complicated than I first thought.
Simple I thought, there seems to be two main types of cough; dry and irritating or the wet, productive type. Give the dry coughs something to soothe and stop them and the wet coughs something to get rid of all the nasty phlegm and then it's sorted, isn't it?
First of all we need to think about why we cough. Ann McIntyre says "a cough is a reflex response designed to remove irritants such as dust, toxins, micro-organisms or mucus blocking the throat or bronchial tubes". So coughing is natural and if we supress this are we are stopping the body from doing what it needs to?
Something I am coming to realise is that we need to look at why the person has the cough. Michael Tierra says mucus is a by-product of digestion. When digestion is weak an excess of mucus will become apparent in the mucus secreting tissues of the body. This includes the lungs which need moisture to counteract the drying effect of normal respiration. Evenstar says that stimulation of the gastric mucosa affects the bronchial mucosa via the gastro bronchial reflex. I have looked into white horehound before and discovered how this bitter can be good for the respiratory system. Coughs can also be indicators of low immunity.
I have found a thought provoking article by David Hoffman that says a holistic assessment is required to treat a cough, in other words you have to look at the person as a whole not just the symptoms they show. Treating the cause will also get rid of the cough.
There are many more different types of coughs described in herb books than I had imagined; mostly descriptive of symptoms such as "hot dry". There are also many different theories behind treating coughs, from balancing humours or elements to using herbs purely for their chemical properties. Some treatments are to supress a cough, others are to encourage the cough reflex.
My mentor has asked us to look at coughs that are hot/dry, wet/cold, spasms, nervous and pharmaceutical side effects and to say which herbs I would use for each and why.
Most herbs used for hot/dry coughs are demulcent and include Marshmallow, Mullein, Plantain, Liquorice, Coltsfoot, Comfrey and Slippery elm. These herbs are soothing, moistening, anti-inflammatory and cool mucus membranes. Matthew Wood advocates White Horehound in non-productive coughs where the mucus is dried out and Hyssop syrup to relieve dryness. Michael Tierra recommends cooling expectorants for hot dry phlegm, many being demulcent and moistening including Kelp, Comfrey, Chickweed and Horehound.
For cold/wet coughs Ginger is a warming expectorant that relieves congestion. Thyme, Elecampane, Ground Ivy, White Horehound, Hyssop, Angelica, Coltsfoot and Sweet Marjoram also help liquefy and clear phlegm. Michael Tierra advocates warming, diuretic herbs like Pepper, Cinnamon and Ginger to dry up excess mucus. He also uses Elecampane, Mustard seeds and Eucalyptus to add heat.
A warming cough relieving tea recipe from Sarah consists of 1 inch of ginger, 1 tsp. thyme, 1tsp sage, honey and lemon juice.
Relaxing herbs can be added to preparations for nervous coughs, these include Chamomile and Lemon balm. Thyme and elecampane are also said to have a relaxing effect on the bronchi.
Matthew Wood recommends Primula veris (primrose), a nervine, for sedating spasmodic coughing. Liquorice and thyme also relieve bronchial spasm along with Horehound, Wild cherry, Mullein, Valerian and Plantain.
The group of prescription drugs mostly responsible for coughing as a side effect are ACE- inhibitors. In Cardiac Today it was reported that 15% of users were given antitussive treatment for ACE-inhibitor associated cough, it is thought the number could actually be higher. I know my mother's GP denies her persistent coughing is related to her medication and she gets codeine linctus on repeat prescription. A cough caused by these drugs is dry, and can range from a scratchy throat to severe hacking. I think this is a case where the symptoms need to be treated and soothing herbs like Marshmallow could be mixed with an herb for dry coughs such as Coltsfoot with Elecampane to relax the bronchi.
Other cough herbs are antimicrobial, helping the body combat infection and supporting the immune system, these include Thyme, Elecampane, Hyssop, Garlic and Cinnamon.
When treating a cough a combination of herbs from the above groups can be used to treat all the symptoms. We must also remember to view the person as a whole and look at what has caused the cough in the first place as treating this will help eliminate the cough.

Welcome to the Berkeley Yoga Center; we are pleased that you are interested in trying yoga at our studio, or returning if you've been away. Please read the following guidelines so that you will have the information you need to have the safest and most satisfactory experience that you can while practicing at our studio.
Accessing the studios:
Both entryways require an access code if you are coming to classes that are not during business hours (after 6:00 p.m. or before 8:00 a.m., Monday through Saturday, or all day on a Sunday). The access code is *YOGA (*9642). To keep the building safe and secure, please only let in other yoga students when you enter.
Starting a class:
You can drop in to most public classes at any time, though some require preregistration (look for a footnote next to the class listing). For classes not requiring preregistration, you can just come and once you are there, you can sign up and pay for classes on a series or drop-in basis (cash and checks only; see Fees for specific prices). On holidays, be sure to check under Cancellations to see if classes are taking place. Please arrive a few minutes early to have time to meet the teacher, get set up with props, and discuss any special needs/concerns you may have.
Special needs:
It's very important to inform the teacher before class begins of any special health conditions or injuries you may have. If you do not want to do this in the class setting, you can contact the teacher beforehand: teachers' contact information is listed on the "Instructor" page.
What to bring:
We have all the props you will need, but for reasons of hygiene, we do recommend that you invest in a mat for yourself. Please be prepared to practice in bare feet, and wear clothes that you can move in comfortably and that allow teachers to observe your knees. Also, do not eat for at least an hour or two before class.
Honor your body's needs and limitations:
Remember that yoga is not a competitive endeavor. If a posture or movement feels inappropriate for your body, then modify the pose or ask the instructor for assistance.
Contact Info: firstname.lastname@example.com, 510-843-8784
Access code to the building is *YOGA (*9642)

#MyLittleSkincareProject - Sensitive Skin # 303 November
In the third and final segment of #MyLittleSkincareProject we have been trialing and reviewing products which are targeted at our specific skin types. With so many products on the market, hundreds of skincare brands all hoping to be the brand you pick, it can be a mine field navigating between products and brands, claims and promises. My sensitive skin bloggers Scarlett, Harriet and Rosie have been trialing some products from some of the wonderful brands sponsoring #MyLittleSkincareProject and each has put these products to the test over a 6-8 week period! Today they're going to tell you whether products targeted at their sensitive skin really work and whether their skin benefited. Get your pens and notepad at the ready, it's time to delve into the world of sensitive skin products!
Liz Earle Pure Muslin Cloth* (Liz Earle*, Pack of 2, £4.25) - I haven't included a picture of this as once used it's not the most attractive of cloths! I've used the Liz Earle Muslin Cloths for years and in conjunction with a number of cleansers and they're my favourite way to remove cleanser. I find flannels can drag across my skin a bit and inflame redness - the soft, micro-bead texture of the Liz Earle offering is just perfect and allows me to remove make up really quickly and gently. I don't think I'll ever use a different muslin!
Balance Me Skin Bright Hydrating Face Mist* (Balance Me*, 60ml, £20) - I mentioned this in my October Favourites post this month as I'm so impressed by how gentle and truly hydrating it is. I've tried a number of well-known face mists and as many contain alcohol I find them quite drying which in turn makes my skin flare up. Formulated with neroli oil and pineapple extract, as well as a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid, this is a really beautiful, gentle, super moisturising alternative and I find it just perfect for toning, setting make up, and for refreshing my skin throughout the day. I couldn't be more pleased to have this in my skincare arsenal!
Konjac Sponge with French Red Clay for Tired and Devitalized Skin* (Cult Beauty*, £6.98) - I've always been intrigued by the Konjac Sponges and after weeks of using this one, I have to say I'm on the fence! Gently wet with warm water, this glides very softly across the face so you're in no danger of aggravating the skin - and this is a real plus. However, this won't remove your cleanser, so I've ended up using it as a post-cleanse and it does do a really good job of softening the skin. That being said, it seems a bit superficial as the softness doesn't stick around - but it does make moisturisers and serums sink in better. So a number of pros and a number of cons - I'm glad to have it, but I'm not sure I'd repurchase it.
Vichy Purete Thermal Calming Micellar Cleansing Solution* (Boots*, 200ml, £11) - Another product I mentioned in my favourites post, this has gone to the top of my micellar favourites! Having also used the Taaj and Bioderma ones, I find this one overall more effective - gentler and faster to remove make up. It has a distinctly aquatic smell, which I love, and leaves my skin feeling really fresh and without a trace of make up. Like with all micellars I find it slightly drying so I always make sure to follow up with a cleansing milk or balm. I really would recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin as it has been a complete dream for me!
So a generally positive lot of products for me and I'm so glad to have had the chance to discover new products that work so well with my sensitive skin!"

Third Coast, a biannual literary journal published by the English department of Western Michigan University, has been in print since 1995. According to their website, Third Coast is "one of the nation's premiere literary magazines" and has some impressive credentials, publishing stories and poetry that have been selected for the Pushcart Prize anthology and Best New Poets, among others. The featured writers all have multiple publication credits to their name, and are likely either enrolled in an MFA program or teaching one.
It's evident from holding the physical copy of the Spring 2017 journal that they run a professional operation—it feels like a paperback anthology you would find in a bookstore, with a velvety smooth cover and original artwork gracing the front and back of each issue. Author biographies are listed in the back, and the table of contents is helpfully organized by genre.
Although they do not state this explicitly, their standards of acceptance are likely selective, as the writing is consistently strong throughout. One common thread that runs through all of the prose pieces is a common "literary" voice: sober and uncluttered. The benefit of this common voice is consistency. The downside is that none of these pieces stands out as being exceptionally daring, offbeat, or experimental.
In terms of quantity, the Spring 2017 issue is primarily poetry, with only three fiction pieces, two nonfiction pieces, and one play. The fiction pieces featured in Spring 2017 are traditional in format and, for this particular issue, could have benefited from more diversity of perspective. All three stories feature male protagonists and a third-person voice, and two of the three are told in past tense. While each story features a fleshed-out, memorable female character, readers like me who are eager for fresh fiction from a female perspective may be disappointed.
The one play in the anthology revolves around two war veterans, also male, but incorporates absurdist elements that pull it into a more experimental and entertaining territory.
In my opinion, good writing either takes you to an unfamiliar situation and still remains human and familiar or pinpoints the profundity in the everyday. While the fiction did not exactly reach either of those for me, the nonfiction featured in Third Coast was captivating. One piece, "The Lights from Houses" by Nina Boutsikaris, weaved threads of coincidence and magic into its domestic setting and featured a refreshingly female perspective.
Christina Olson's "The Lion of Ladysmith" was equally strong, with its unpredictable exploration of storytelling itself. Paired with Boutsikaris's piece, which she described in her bio as "nonfictionish," both of these essays directly and indirectly played with the idea of trust—as in, what exactly is truth in nonfiction? Should an audience suspend disbelief, as they would with fiction, when the writer or speaker claims that what she says is true? I personally loved the thought-provoking genre-bending at work in both essays, as they danced in that murky middle place between fiction and nonfiction.
As mentioned, poetry comprises the bulk of the issue, and each poem is a standout in its own right. I would not advise reading Third Coast all in one sitting, as there's a lot to digest here. The journal is dense with verse from poets who not only have a mastery of language but also the power to emotionally arrest the reader. The poems blend the exotic with the familiar seamlessly, finding new ways of looking at everyday scenes or exploring a specific moment with microscopic intensity, like in the case of Alex Chertok's "Empathy."
Running the gamut from traditional to experimental, the poetry in Third Coast is a mix of linear, storytelling pieces and works that play around more with language and formatting, like the challenging "Destruction of Man: An Excerpt" by Abraham Smith. On the other end of the spectrum, Kim Lozano's "The Ruts" really stood out to me for its plainspoken tone punctuated by gorgeous, surprising imagery. Poetry-wise, there is truly something for everyone in this issue.
Strong writers who have previously been published multiple places should consider submitting to Third Coast. Their submittable page does not give guidelines for the type of work they gravitate toward, but, judging by the Spring 2017 issue, fiction that is traditional in format and thoughtfully plotted is welcome in Third Coast. In poetry, there is more room for experimental formats and irreverent punctuation and spelling.
Third Coast accepts a wide variety of writing: fiction up to 7,500 words (or up to five pieces of flash fiction), nonfiction, poetry (no more than three poems at a time), and drama, as well as unsolicited interviews and reviews that are featured primarily online. Third Coast prefers reviews of books that are published by small presses or less publicized. They will accept plays that have been staged but not published, which is a terrific way for playwrights to extend their work to an even larger audience than the original production.
To get a feel for what Third Coast publishes, each new issue runs about $9, with back issues priced at $4. You can also subscribe online for up to three years of biannual issues.
Third Coast is an excellent read for the diversity of formats alone. It's rare to find a journal in which poetry, fiction, essays, and plays can peacefully coexist and even interact, but Third Coast more than pulls it off. For future issues, since this one was heavy on poetry, I would be eager to see an edition with even quantities of each genre, so fiction and drama fans could have more to enjoy. But with such stellar poetry and nonfiction, the Spring 2017 issue can serve as a great resource for those wondering if Third Coast could be a home for their writing.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Taking the leap into purchasing a home can be daunting for first-time buyers. Luckily, Fiona Dogan of Julia B. Sotheby's International Realty is highly experienced in the home buying process and can help make the path to finding a dream home a little less bumpy.
"The first thing you really have to do is get your financing in order," said Dogan, a real estate agent who has earned a five-star realtor rating in Westchester Magazine, among other accolades. "You have to be a viable buyer when starting to look for a home otherwise homeowners and agents will not take you seriously."
Aspiring homeowners can look at ten or more homes before finally settling on one that matches their needs. It's important to see a range of home styles and prices in person before deciding to buy, Dogan stresses. "You may have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince."
While great location has often been the major selling point for home buyers, the market today is seeing a higher demand for brand new homes that may compromise on location.
"Location used to dictate everything in the home sale process, but now in 2017, it's all about condition, condition, condition," said Dogan. "Mostly, if not almost always, first time buyers would rather buy a home in perfect condition and sacrifice a little more on location because they just don't want to do any renovation."
Dogan is seeing many new buyers come from apartments or condos where most upkeep problems are handled by a superintendent or a landlord. However, as homeowners, they are now responsible for everything related to their property.
"Every single item in that house is your responsibility, no one is there to help you," said Dogan. "It can be intimidating for young buyers but while there is an expenditure of time and money in the upkeep of a home, owning your own home is a satisfying and smart investment in the long run."

A year ago even as relentlessly positive a chronicler of the Obama administration as the New York Times noted that the president had begun to use the killing of Osama bin Laden as an integral part of his standard political stump speech. Since then, the president and even Vice President Biden have rarely disappointed listeners waiting for the obligatory bin Laden reference. While President Obama deserves credit for ordering the operation and he was entitled to spike the ball over this a few times, the transformation of the tracking down of the arch terrorist into the central achievement of their years in power says a lot about just how thin their list of victories has turned out to be.
Indeed, as I first noted last May, it should be remembered that Biden made one of the few genuinely witty remarks in the 2008 campaign when he noted that a Rudy Giuliani campaign speech consisted solely of, "a noun, a verb and 9/11," but in the last year the addresses of Obama and Biden have rarely omitted "a noun, a verb and bin Laden." Yet as tiresome as the president's attempt to drape himself in the heroism of the Navy Seals has been up until now, it just got a lot worse. The Obama campaign is not only highlighting the bin Laden killing but it is now, believe it or not, actually putting forward a counter-factual video asserting that a President Mitt Romney would never have tried to take out the al Qaeda leader.
As Politico reports, a new Obama campaign video not only lavishes the president with extravagant praise for ordering the operation against bin Laden but also attempts to claim that Romney wouldn't have done the same. The basis for this assertion is the fact that in 2007 Romney questioned whether the United States should be attacking targets in Pakistan and an out-of-context quote from that year in which the GOP nominee said, "It's not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person."
That doesn't sound very good in retrospect but it reflected two sound positions. One was that the U.S. needed Pakistan if it was going to effectively fight the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The other was that the priority in the war on terror needed to be on ensuring that al Qaeda did have the capability to launch more terror attacks rather than merely getting bin Laden. While it can be construed as being one of many Romney verbal gaffes, it did not mean he was opposed to tracking down bin Laden if he could be found.
U.S. forces had been actively hunting Osama bin Laden for years. It was Barack Obama's good fortune that, thanks to the Bush administration's decision to conduct a war on terror and to use tactics that he largely opposed before entering the White House that the terrorist was found on his watch. The idea, put forward by former President Clinton (who did little to stop al Qaeda in the years after the first bombing of the World Trade Center and whose negligence materially contributed to the 9/11 disaster) in the campaign video, that there was a down side for Obama in ordering the mission is also, at best, an exaggeration. Though there were risks attached to the operation, the idea that Obama would have been lambasted for ordering an attack aimed at getting bin Laden is unfounded. Few Americans would have faulted him for trying, even if bin Laden had escaped again.
While it is to be expected that any president will take credit for the actions of the armed forces of which he is the commander-in-chief, it appears that in trying to make Romney look as if he was soft on al Qaeda, the president's henchmen appear to have jumped the shark in a way that will do him little good. Such excesses serve only to diminish what may well be the one real foreign policy victory of his four years in office.

The INSIDER Summary:
- Alex Gregory is a two-time Olympic gold medalist who's rowing with the Polar Row.
- It's a crew that rows in the Arctic.
- Gregory posted a photo of his hands after rowing in the tundra with wet gloves.
- Some Twitter users were terrified to say the least.
At one point or another, many of us have probably taken pruned, wrinkled hands and feet as an indicator for when it's time to get out of the bathtub or the pool.
Well, picture those wrinkly palms times ten, with a few added blisters, and you'll maybe get an idea of what Olympic rower Alex Gregory's hands looked like after rowing in the Arctic.
Gregory, a professional rower from the UK and two time Olympic gold medalist, is part of a crew called the Polar Row that is rowing in the Arctic to explore the Northern waters, research the environment, and raise money for charity.
On Wednesday, he posted a photo of what his hands looked like after having spent a long time in wet gloves — and it is gnarly, to say the least.
—Alex Gregory (@AlexGregoryGB) August 30, 2017
"My hands after spending so long in wet gloves," he wrote. "The blisters were never bad on this Polar row, but the wet & damp seeped into the skin ..."
Obviously, there are some serious side effects to putting your body through extreme conditions, and they are not pretty.
In case you're wondering, though, there actually may be a purpose for your hands getting pruned in water. In 2011, scientists found that the wrinkled fingers give you better grip in wet conditions — like when you're desperately trying to keep hold of your umbrella during a storm, or when you need to keep hold of your oars during a row (though it's a good thing Gregory had gloves on).
This, however, is a pretty extreme instance — and Twitter users were horrified.

Tooth Fillings
Repair Tooth Decay With Our Composite Tooth Fillings
Our tooth fillings here, we do not do mercury fillings or amalgams. We do composite fillings, which are a hard resin. What we like to do is we use our digital camera, and we'll take a picture of your tooth before we remove all the decay. When there's a part of the tooth missing, we'll take another picture. We'll send it to the computer, and the computer will send it to our milling machine, and we'll cut you a piece out of a porcelain block or a very hard composite porcelain block, and we'll make an extra piece that will fit in your tooth exactly. Then, we bond it in place, which will last much longer than a composite resin. A composite resin will only last about five, six years, where ours will last up to 20 years.
For many people, the first sign that there's something wrong with their teeth is a little toothache. Maybe it happens only when you eat certain tough foods, or maybe it comes and goes all on its own. But that pain won't completely go away all by itself. There can be several causes of such pain, but one common source is a cavity. Thankfully, we offer tooth-colored composite resin fillings at our Boone, NC dental office that can repair damage from tooth decay and help you live without that toothache.
What Do Tooth Fillings Actually Fill In?
When harmful bacteria start to live on your teeth, they eat tiny particles of food left behind by the food you eat and secrete an acid. This acid eats away at the hard enamel protecting your teeth, creating a small hole. If the bacteria continue to thrive, that hole gets bigger and bigger as more of the enamel continues to decay. That hole is called a cavity. Unfortunately, there is no way to repair or regrow decayed enamel, which is where a filling comes in. This material is used to fill in the cavity created by harmful bacteria.
How Do Tooth Fillings Work?
Before anything else, the staff at our Boone, NC dental office will thoroughly clean the tooth and surrounding area. This includes getting rid of any decayed enamel as well as the bacteria causing the problem in the first place. Then we roughen the enamel around the cavity so it will be easier for the filling material to stay put.
Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Steven Airey will place a special tooth-colored material in the cavity. The material hardens fast and bonds with the surrounding enamel, making sure it stays there. Since enamel has no nerve endings, the whole process is normally painless. However, local anesthesia and possibly dental sedation can be used if necessary.
What's The Difference Between Metal And Composite Tooth Fillings?
In the past, tooth fillings were made from a metal amalgam (meaning a combination of metals). These usually contained silver and even mercury, a metal known to being toxic in people. These metal fillings did the job, but they certainly did not look good. And while there isn't too much evidence showing mercury fillings to have been a problem, if it's toxic, why put it in your mouth when there's a better alternative?
At Appalachian Dental Care, we only use composite resin fillings made from ceramic and plastics. These metal-free fillings can last as long as metal ones and are also strong and durable. And when they are finally placed in your mouth, they are colored to look like your natural teeth, meaning they will blend in instead of stand out.
Sometimes, you have to pick between the brand-new tools or the tried-and-true way of doing things. Metal fillings have been used for a long time in dentistry to repair teeth, but now we offer a composite filling. In other words, you can get both new and tested dental treatments with these fillings. To learn more about our dental fillings or to schedule your next appointment, give us a call today at 828-355-5673 or use our online form.

Tigres UANL 2 Emelec 0 (2-1 agg): Mexicans through to Libertadores semis
Rafael Sobis had a goal and an assist as Tigres UANL overturned a first-leg deficit to advance to the Copa Libertadores semi-finals.
Tigres lost last week's opening leg 1-0 to Emelec in Ecuador via a second-half goal from Miller Bolanos but the Mexicans were too strong on home soil on Tuesday, winning 2-0 to claim a 2-1 aggregate victory.
Goalless in three of their past four matches in all competitions, Tigres opened the scoring in the sixth minute thanks to Sobis at Estadio Universitario de Nuevo Leon.
The Brazilian attacker's free-kick from long range eluded everyone inside the penalty area, including Emelec goalkeeper Esteban Dreer as Tigres moved level on aggregate.
Neither team added to the scoreline before the break, but the deadlock was finally broken with 10 minutes remaining in the tie.
Sobis turned provider for Jose Rivas, who headed Tigres into the semis from just inside the six-yard box.
Tigres - set to face either Santa Fe or Internacional in the semis - are on track to become the first team from Mexico to lift the Libertadores trophy.
Cruz Azul (2001) and Guadalajara (2010) are beaten finalists in the competition.

Declan Donnelly and blonde Ali are believed to be an item
Earlier this year, Ashley Roberts and Declan Donnelly were 'getting to know each other'.
Now Dec, 37, is rumoured to have fallen for his blonde manager, Alison 'Ali' Astall, 34, who works as Joint Head of Entertainment at James Grant Management and looks after his and partner Ant McPartlin's career.
'They've adored each other for years,' reveals a source.
'People have often thought they were together – but it's only recently they finally became an item.
'They kept it quiet for ages but are at last coming to terms with being a couple in public.'
Geordie star Dec dated TV actress Clare Buckfield for 11 years but they split in 2003.
His last serious relationship with TV presenter Georgie Thompson ended in 2011 after a 2-year romance and his I'm A Celebrity flirtation with former Pussycat Doll Ashley came to nothing.
Dec strenuously denied that he and Ali were lovers in 2007, but now both are said to have told their families that their professional relationship has become a personal one.
'They all know each other anyway,' the insider tells The Sun.
'To be honest, it hasn't come as much of a surprise to some because they'd always been close.'
A representative for Declan Donnelly declined to comment.

H&N Match Green .177 Cal, 5.25 gr - 500 ct
July 13, 2016
I purchased these pellets to use mainly for my Sig Sauer Mpx rifle as a substitute for the recommended Sig Sauer Match Ballistic Alloy .177 Cal, 5.25 Grains, Wadcutter, Lead-Free. The lead free pellets are uniform in size and clean, a big plus target shooting at my basement range. I am very pleased with the accuracy at 15 to 20 feet inside. This pellet is rated for precision not distance, but will try them when outdoors. They work excellent in my Bronco Pro, Winchester MP4, Crosman 1077W Repeatair rifles, and Beeman P17, Crosman 1377C, and the Benjamin HB17 pistols. Premium pellet, premium price. If you can purchase a large quantity at one time from Airgun Depot you can rack up the savings (buy three, fourth is free. Free shipping over $179.00 )
ProsAccurate, uniform in size, weight, and shape, no lead dust
ConsLower price and a screw top tin

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?
Story and Photos by
Lacey Justinger
Managing Editor
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS — The Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families brought two shows, here, Saturday, and one to Aliamanu Military Reservation, Wednesday, to help military parents and children talk, listen and connect with familiar characters and important issues.
"My family is moving to a new base, I'm going to miss this place, and I'm going to miss all of you," said Katie, a military-child character who only exists in this version of Sesame Street.
"The message for military families is to promote better understanding for kids that daddy is in the military," said Sameckia Edwards, a Navy family member who brought two children to the show.
USO and Sesame Street created the show, now in its fifth iteration, in 2008, especially to educate and entertain military families, according to Lonnie Cooper, tour producer/manager, USO.
In the current tour, Elmo, Grover, Rosita, Honker and Cookie Monster help Katie feel better about an upcoming move and offer tips to make new friends, while keeping in touch with old ones — all through the catchy songs and dances one would expect from Sesame Street and USO.
"We came the last time when the show was about deployment, and my husband was getting ready to deploy," said Melisa Mode, a family member with 552nd Military Police Company, 8th MP Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command. "This year it is about (permanent changes of station, or PCS), and we will be PSCing soon. The timing is perfect.
"The show is helping the kids understand how the military works," Mode added, who brought her 5-year-old son, Benjamin, and 3-year-old son, Caden, to the show.
The Sesame Street gang offered many ways for children to feel better, stay in touch and stay friends, while singing that "change brings you something new."
"This is something for parents and kids to enjoy time together," Cooper said. "This project serves the families, gives a message and entertains."
Cooper added that it was especially important to bring the free shows to multiple venues throughout Hawaii, as Hawaii is an isolated location for military families without a lot of live entertainment tours.
Jessica Dekoekkoek, a family member with 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Bde. Combat Team, 25th Inf. Division, brought her 2-year-old daughter, Victoria, to USO's Sesame Street to help address upcoming military family issues like redeployment, and because Victoria is obsessed with the show.
Working with U.S. Army-Garrison-Hawaii's Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, more than 1,550 family members attended the first two shows, receiving readiness and well-being messages with a lot of giggles, cheers and dancing feet.
"This is a good show; even the parents are singing and dancing," said Spc. Shandora Townsend, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 8th TSC, who volunteered for the event. "Plus, I got free toys!"
The half-an-hour show even offered opportunities for children to connect with their favorite characters, as they shimmed, swayed and sang out into the crowd.

Population Iran's deaf population has been estimated at just under 4 million out of a total population of over 60 million. Education Deaf children and teenagers in Iran are well educated, and deaf students can go on to college. At least one resource states that all schools for the deaf in Iran use the oral method: Nezam Mafi Technical High School in Tehran is a high school for deaf students.Many schools for the deaf have been established in Iran. According to at least one resource, there are over 400 educational institutions for the deaf such as Baghcheban National School for the Deaf. Culture Iran has a national "Deaf Day" that happens to be held around the same time as Deaf Awareness Week in the United States (last week of September). It is actually held at that time because it is held in honor of Jabar Baghcheban, who founded deaf education in Iran in the 1920s. Sign Language and Cued Speech The national unofficial sign language of Iran is Persian Sign Language, although there is also a secondary sign language called Teahouse Sign Language. A Persian Sign Language dictionary exists and is available through the Julia Samii Research Center at Tavanbakhshi University in Iran. (at University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Kudakyar St., Daneshjoo, Blve., Evin, Tehran - 19834IRAN) The dictionary has gone through multiple printings. Cued speech is in widespread use in Iran. This was noted by Ali Vazir Safavi in his paper, "Fixed Iran Communication System for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People," on file at Gallaudet University Archives. Research and Presentations A deaf man, Abbas Ali Behmanesh presented at the Deaf Way II on deafness in Iran. His fascinating presentation covered the history of deaf education in Iran, mentions the support of deaf education by the former Shah of Iran's wife, discusses audism and the advantages of hearing people (e.g., hearing getting the teaching jobs or management jobs), the history of deaf organizations, and deaf social life. His paper is on file at Gallaudet University Archives. He was profiled in Gallaudet University's faculty newsletter, On the Green, in its October 13, 1999 (Vol. 30, No. 2) edition in the article "Finding community and country" by Mary Thornley. At the first linguistics conference, a conference on theoretical and applied linguistics, in Iran, held in January 1991 at Allameh Tabataba'ee University, Dr. Jalil Sadeghian from Alame Tabataba'ee university presented "The Dialogue of the Deaf: The Relation of Theoretical to applied Linguistics." A scientific journal in Iran, Scientia Iranica, the scientific journal of Sharif University of technology, has published articles on cochlear implantation in Iran. Sara Siyavoshi sent an e-mail with the following information: "The first linguistic research in Persian Sign Language and Deafness in Iran has done by me. I have presented a report about Iran Deaf education from linguistic perspective in the "Higher Education for Deaf People in Developing Countries" Symposium held by the Deaf Empowerment Foundation Nijmegen, the Netherlands, 4-16 Jan 2006. I have [also] participated and presented a paper, "First Conference of the Linguistics Society of Iran", Tehran in March 2006. The title of my paper was: "Persian Sign Language and necessity of revision in Iran Deaf education" that is published in Proceedings of the first Conference of the Linguistics Society of Iran, Linguistics Society of Iran Publications, Tehran, Iran 2006. Organizations and Associations Iran has quite a few organizations, associations, and government-sponsored agencies for the deaf and hard of hearing: Iranian National Center for the Deaf, based in TehranIranian National Association for Welfare of the Deaf (I am not sure if this organization still exists)Association of Deaf FamiliesIranian Parents Association of the DeafYouth Cultural House of the DeafHouse of the DeafSociety for the Protection of Deaf ChildrenNational Rehabilitation Center for the deaf Published Writing Beyond the national boundaries: History of deaf education in Iran, by Azar Hadadian (1996). This is an article in the rare book Collage: Works on International Deaf History edited by Renate Fischer and Tomas Vollhaber with H. Zienert. ISBN 3-927731-59-5. The article details the accomplishments of the father of deaf education in Iran, Jabar Baghcheban. Baghcheban started in 1924 and founded a school for the deaf in Tehran. In addition, he also developed his own methods of teaching deaf children. Sports Iran has sports organizations for the deaf: Iranian Deaf Sports Federation (in Tehran)Iranian Deaf Martial Artists Television Television news in Iran is sign interpreted. Other Iran has its own cochlear implant center, the Iranian Cochlear Implant Center based in Tehran, which is actually a network of implant centers in Iran. Was this page helpful?

I can see! {Wordless Wednesday}
10 pretty purplexing comments:
I've been contemplating using contacts again ever since my 9 year-old got hers. I'm still not sure though because last time wasn't so great. Good luck. Hope you got the one out last night! :)ReplyDelete
Good luck! I hope it all works out for you. I'd love to wear contacts but I have chronic dry eye so it's no good for me. So, all I can do is walk around with my reading and distance glasses on my head and/or handing off my shirt... cuz I refuse to get bifocals all the time yet.ReplyDelete
Finally did get it out. I was able to "pinch" it (the advise of a good friend) instead of dragging it (the advise of my son). That's what I get for listening to a 15 year old! LOLReplyDelete
I do have bifocal glasses and I HATE THEM! I can't stand wearing glasses! Hopefully I can get this contact thing down pat. :-DReplyDelete
"Next week will be the big test whether or not they will work." Hmm, will you be putting a big sign on your car to warn the traffic?ReplyDelete
I had trouble with contacts and finally gave up. The doctor told me that my eye shape was too flat.
LOL. my husband is having the same problem. 1/2 hour he's in there trying to put that sucker in and I just walk in and have my done in 30 seconds. I had to tease him "come on soldier....just touch your eyeball, whatcha fraid of?" It was too funny. I hope you have better luck than he has so far!ReplyDelete
It took me awhile to get used to my bi-focal glasses. I can't imagine contacts at all. How do those work as bi-focals? Best wishes as you get used to them!ReplyDelete
Contacts or glasses. It doesn't matter. I need a traffic sign with the luck I've been having in my car! Ha!ReplyDelete
lots of luck with the contacts, tami!! hope they work out for ya! xoxoReplyDelete

She's one sixth the size of a human and packs both a powerful economic and sociological punch. Mention her name and everyone in the room has an opinion. She's been accused of adding to the growing epidemic of anorexia and warping both male and female expectations of body image. Yet, every young girl in America longs to own her, dress her and play with her hair. Her name is Barbie and she's 38 years old this year.
My first Barbie came into my life two weeks ago. I'm a bit older than the target market for this product, about 35 years older, to be exact. I could not remember playing with Barbie as a child, so I asked my parents if I had and they confirmed that I had not. So, I went to the toy store and bought myself a Tropical Barbie (with a tan, sun bleached hair and teeny, weeny floral bikini). I figured if I was going to take a stand, I had best possess an example of the plastic princess who has caused such an uproar.
It seems to me that the discussion of Barbie is polarized. People tend to be either Pro-Barbie or Anti-Barbie. I believe our discussion must be broader than that. The literature to date has failed to take into serious consideration a couple of key groups: these are those women who played with Barbie as a child, who are now mothers themselves, and the children playing with Barbie today.
When I look at women my age, I do not see a group of women warped by Barbie, but a group of women who believe in the power to create a life for themselves. And regarding children of today, we have clearly devalued the role of imagination and the ways in which Barbie broadens, not narrows, play opportunities.
A quick review of most of the literature concerning Barbie focuses on the ways in which Barbie is insufficient or problematic. The articles I read included a look at the self-serving way Mattel has marketed ethnic Barbies (Ducille), the fact that Barbie's body type is likely to occur only in one in one hundred thousand women (Norton), a discussion of the fiasco that occurred on a college campus when Barbie was included on a poster that celebrated "Women In Action" (Chamberlain) and a satirical lament by a writer who was still looking for Jewish Barbie (Lieberman).
By far, the most interesting and definitive treatise on Barbie is M.G. Lord's Forever Barbie , an overview of the history of Mattel and the marketing of Barbie, as well as a look at how Barbie aficionados operate today. Here we learn that Barbie was created by Ruth Handler, who based her loosely on a sexy (even sleazy) German doll named Lilli originally marketed to men. We learn about the ways Mattel has changed its marketing over the last 38 years, noting some clear successes and some very entertaining failures. Remember "Growing Up Skipper," who developed quite a nice chest when you twisted her arm or "Earring Magic Ken," who wore a lavender vest, an earring in his left ear and a ring pendant? Lord also focuses on the ways in which Mattel has worked to become inclusive and diversified in it's marketing attempts. The German doll Lilli bears a striking similarity to Barbie.
Overall, Lord's book is entertaining and packed with great information about Barbie's evolution, with definite insight into the phenomenon that is Barbie. My objection to Lord's approach is that she buries Barbie's positive attributes.
Like most feminists, I have been less than enthusiastic Barbie. When asked to purchase Barbies for my nieces, I have wondered if this was really the best gift to give them. Would I be contributing to their eventual battles with bulimia? I also do not have any children, so will never be confronted with the possible psychological damage that I may impart by allowing or denying Barbie mania to take hold. Therefore, my analysis depends in part on conversations with my friends and family about what Barbie means to them.
However, after my fifth trip in two years to the fuchsia Barbie temple of Toy's 'R' Us, I began to notice something I had not noticed before. Barbie has many, many- choices in life, in both career and leisure activities. I discussed this with a friend Laura and she shared that one summer she and her sister had taken their Barbies (in the '60s version of a Barbie motorhome) on a tour of the United States, planned out and executed in the back yard. Each of their Barbies also had detailed educational and job experiences, as well as social histories. Another friend said that she and her friends created entire communities where all the Barbies took on new names, with some Barbies married, some not, some had careers, some did not, some were mothers and some not. In other words, a fairly accurate reflection of the world.
I recognized that was the first thing right with Barbie. Barbie is an adult doll, not a baby doll. She may, in fact, be the first adult doll. And, what an opportunity for a young girl to exercise her imagination! A baby doll only offers a child the opportunity to mother it. And, even though today's baby dolls do everything from eating and drinking to excreting, even chewing when we'd rather they not, you cannot create a complex social history for a baby doll. Offering our daughters the opportunity to play at mothering is certainly an acceptable choice, but it's only one option. Barbie, on the other hand, allows a young woman to dream about all the possibilities open to her. Barbie can be a doctor, an astronaut, a banker or lawyer, a flight attendant, a fashion designer, a nurse, a gymnast, a horse-woman, a whale trainer, a veterinarian, a personal trainer, an Arctic explorer, a teacher, a circus star, a nightclub singer and now, a member of the Star Trek crew. As a longtime fan of all things Star Trek, I must admit I just purchased the Star Trek Ken and Barbie, brought out for the 30th anniversary of the original series. Because the show first aired in the 1960's, when miniskirts were in style, Barbie wears a very short-skirted red uniform and sports a close approximation of the Yeoman Rand hair style and color. However, the people at Mattel are not fools, and the back of the box points out that Barbie's red uniform means she is a member of the ship's engineering section and a Lieutenant. Alas, Ken wears a gold uniform and is a member of the Command division.
I'm itching to take Ken and Barbie out of the box and create a little cross-dressing exhibition, to see how Barbie looks in gold. But, as any Barbie collector will tell you, Barbies must be NRFB, or "never removed from box to" retain their value. Which leaves me no alternative other than to buy a set I can play with. Which is exactly what many Barbie collectors do. There are few limits to the career choices you can role-play with Barbie. And this is key, I think. My seven year old niece tells me that Barbie is pretty, but that she really likes to play "camping out" and "going on vacation" with her Barbies. This is a accurate reflection of my brother's life. He and his family travel frequently, often camping out. So, my niece creates this world from her experience for her Barbie.
Marketing Barbie as an independent woman was very intentional on Mattel's part. Lord points out that one of the earliest Barbies, first sold in 1960, was "Busy Gal" Barbie, who wore a red linen suit and carried a sketch pad that said "Barbie Fashion Designer." Her creators, Handler and Charlotte Johnson (who designed early Barbie fashions) were working women and therefore, Barbie has always worked, from the very beginning. Kudos to Mattel for never backing down on that. Nothing sold in the Barbie line suggests that being a housewife is the only career option available for Barbie.
Mattel has also upheld Barbie's independence by never allowing her to become a mother. Handler felt that would compromise Barbie's image of free adult womanhood. This is not to be construed as an anti-motherhood message, as Barbie is allowed to exhibit her maternal instincts by baby-sitting and caring for her three younger siblings, Skipper (a preteen), Stacie (about 8 years old), and Kelly, (perhaps three or four years old). There are an infinite variety of baby dolls available to young girls for the role-playing of motherhood. Letting Barbie stay independent is a positive message and again, I congratulate Mattel for that decision.
Barbie also appears to be financially independent. She owns her own sports car, Corvette, Mustang, motorhome, quad (an ATV), speedboat, horses and houses. She seems to enjoy a high standard of living (and while that is admittedly a problem for those young women who cannot aspire to own these things) it's nice to provide a role model to our daughters with the message that a man not need provide expensive toys for us. We can, if we choose to, purchase them ourselves.
A look at Barbie's leisure activities offer another opportunity for girls to imagine themselves in many different scenarios. Let's face it, this doll has a far more exciting life than most of us. She skis, surfs, rollerblades, rides horseback, plays volleyball, scuba dives, dances, ice skates, goes mountain biking, does gymnastics and in general, stays active.
These activities all send the message that physical exertion is healthy and appropriate. I would like to see Mattel continue to expand these opportunities. Perhaps there's room for a Tae kwon do Barbie, or Softball Barbie (following Dot Richardson's example) or even Iditarod Barbie. Why not?
When Barbie is not working or being physically active, she goes to the movies, gives dinner parties, takes her pet to the vet, gets her hair done, does the banking, has cookouts, does the shopping, babysits and even makes her own clothes, with the new CD-ROM designer software.
A third point in Barbie's favor is that Ken plays a minor part in her life. Ken dolls come in several outfits, but really he's just there if Barbie happens to want go on a date. She does not stand around waiting for Ken to show up, (regardless of that recent car commercial). Barbie's life is about friends, female friends. Barbie can be found doing all of the things I mentioned earlier and I admit it, even shopping, with her female pals. It's a social world in which a young woman learns to think in terms of directing her own life without waiting for a man to lean on. Barbie's female friends are more important than waiting around for Ken and that's a good lesson for young women.
Also, Barbie is multinational, not ethnocentric. She can be found wearing a wide variety of clothing from all over the world. At an FAO Schwartz store recently, I found Barbie in French, Ghanian, Indian (not Native American), Norwegian, Russian, Mexican and Japanese traditional dress. There's been considerable discussion about the way in which Mattel chooses the clothing the global Barbie's wear, with concern that it is often stereotypical. While there may be some truth to this, it is more significant that Barbie in native dress may arouse the interest of a young woman to take a global view of her world and that's certainly a good thing.
I know that this may be hard for my feminist sisters to swallow, but Barbie is here to stay. Perhaps the best thing for us to do would be to lobby Mattel to make Barbie more realistic in her measurements, fix those silly arched feet and continue to expand both the career choices for Barbie (Naturalist Barbie with khakis and binoculars, Telemarketer Barbie with headset and cubicle, Firefighter Barbie with yellow firegear and Dalmatian, Waitress Barbie with order pad and shirt from TGIFriday's), as well as her leisure activities. How about Parachute Barbie or Motorcycle Barbie or Bowling Barbie? The possibilities are endless and that's the point.
