Got this from Nautankey almost three weeks back but since I was travelling that time, hence did not get the chance to put it up here and then got tied up in work rut. Decided to put it now as today seems to be a horrible day for me, so thought an award even if its a virtual one may cheer up my day :-).
Nautankey – thanks, thanks & more thanks for giving this to me…such sweet stuffs really bring a smile on my face and it keeps me motivated to somehow find time to do more and more blogging despite my horribly packed work schedule these days.
Now the rules:
- Display the Award in your page - done with a big smile :-)
- Award them to your favorite commentators
- Ask them to forward it to their favorite commentators
- And don't forget to link their page to their names
Now I need to give it to my favorite commentators… Waise toh I love all my commentators who take time to visit my blog and express their thought on my posts (big THANKS to all of you :-)) but this award I would like to give it to all my old blogger friends who started comment on my blog loooong back on my O3 blog, who always commented with a genuine heart and intention of encouargement & healthy interaction on my blog. Initially when I started writing in 2003, I never expected comments and interaction from so many people but there are these people who were always there to read my posts and whose comments really encouraged me to write more and more and before I could have realized they made blogging an addiction for me instead of just another hobby :-)
So, here goes my list:
- My first few names is a list of those people who are not bloggers but still do take time to always read my posts and give their critical inputs (mostly negatives :-( but those negatives always help me to improve further :-)). I am not mentioning their names as they don't have any blog to be linked to, but I'm sure they know who am I referring to :-)
- Tanvi: My childhood and best friend. Though she is not a regular blogger but she is the most regular reader and commentator of my blog since my 1st post which is as old as 2003.
- Meher: She is one of the most regular and sweetest commentator from my O3 days and yeah she is always there to read my blogs and comment on it :D. I wanted to link her O3 blog but she does not use it anymore hence linking it to blogspot one.
- Savy: For all her intellectual inputs and thoughts expressed on my blog and yeah she was one of the initial few who always used to tell me to write more and more.
- Niceguy251: For all his sweet interactions on my blog.
Clap, clap clap for all of you and cheers to all my the readers of my blog :D !

Child-orientated sugary breakfast cereals are a prominent product feature in the dry goods section of supermarkets. Scholars in health sciences and marketing have reported on these products' poor nutritional value and how marketers appeal to children through the use of persuasive television advertising and packaging design. This study presents a visual thematic content analysis of child- orientated breakfast cereal packaging available in local supermarkets. The results indicated that South African marketers use "friendly" and "welcoming" cartoon characters as the most prominent graphic element on breakfast cereal packaging.
Objectification imparts harm to women and sets a detrimental precedent for self-objectification. This is particularly true for young women who are seeking information to assist them in the process of identity construction. Experimental studies indicate that objectification in media causes negative body esteem, an unnecessary drive for thinness, eating disorders and related psychological problems. Globalised media trends emphasise and value women for their physical appearance. These trends de- personalise women, depict them as objects to be gazed at, and style them as decorative, rather than a person with a mind, aptitude, intellect, personality and a 'voice'.
South Africa finds itself in the difficult position of not having a truly representative voice for design practice. Furthermore, we find ourselves without an advertising regulator with legislative support or legal force with a view on ensuring ethical and non-harmful design practice. The closest we come to such a body, is our advertising self-regulator, namely the Advertising Standards Authority of South Africa (ASASA).
Full Title: A reflexive account of developing community health care material through the use of pre-testing methods and visual persuasion techniques
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a congenital syndrome caused by excessive consumption of alcohol by a mother during pregnancy. It is characterized by retardation of mental development and physical growth, particularly of the skull and face of the infant. FAS is a growing problem in South Africa, with it being rife in the townships and rural areas. The lack of public information and intervention is one of the reasons why the syndrome persists in these communities and this was also the motivation for this study.
Qualitative research techniques lend themselves to research activities in the design disciplines due to their strategies to extract data that contain intangibles such as emotions, aesthetics, perceptions, embedded cultural practices, artistic and creative activities. The engagement with subjects that hold this data is guided by ethical codes of conduct and is governed by ethics committees that provide approval for such research engagement within a university environment.
Nevertheless (and inevitably) design research in the creative disciplines has moved into ethnography where the Eurocentric process of collecting data and the associated ethical guidelines and approval process may no longer be relevant, fair and appropriate.
Graphic designers and illustrators intuitively believe that their graphic embellishments such as pictures, photographs and graphics will aid a learner when they use instructional material. The results of empirical studies however indicate that graphic embellishments have a limited effect and only contribute to learning under very specific conditions.
The aim of health communication campaigns is to effect a change in behaviour and attitude.
DEFSA promotes relevant research with the focus on design + education through its biennial conferences, to promote professionalism, accountability and ethics in the education of young designers
With your support & active membership, the Design Educators Forum of Southern Africa can positively influence the young designer's formative training and promote all facets of design across Africa

FSI Upminster to Amsterdam cycle challenge, May 2016: they dared to be great!
A huge congratulations to Team FSI, who successfully completed the inaugural FSI Cycle Challenge, cycling from Upminster to Amsterdam in May.
Day one of the challenge involved an 80-mile cycle ride from the FSI offices in Essex, to Harwich, for catching an overnight ferry to the Hook of Holland.
Day two involved a 60-mile cycle ride from the Hook of Holland, to Dam Square in Amsterdam.
In parallel with the UK challenge, the FSI office in the Middle East undertook a 50k cycle challenge in the middle of the desert, and in very hot temperatures!
The team motto was "dare to be great!".
FSI raised money for Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals and so far more thank £2k has been pledged via the Just Giving Page.
But there is still time to dig deep and sponsor this worthy cause!
Many thanks for your support.

The Dandelion Hideaway selected as finalist in VisitEngland's national Awards for Excellence 2017
Farmer John & Sharon at The Dandelion Hideaway in Osbaston, Leicestershire have been selected as one of three finalists in the newly created category of Glamping Provider of the Year for VisitEngland's Awards for Excellence, the most prestigious awards in English tourism.
The Dandelion Hideaway has previously won Bronze (2014, 2015) and Highly Commended (2016) in VisitEngland's Self Catering Accommodation category, competing with traditional holiday cottages. This new category reflects the growing national popularity of 'glamping' and The Dandelion Hideaway will compete against Longlands in the South West and Secret Meadows from the East of England.
Sharon Earp from The Dandelion Hideaway said: "We are delighted to be chosen as a national finalist for Glamping Provider of the Year. We will be proudly flying the flag for Leicestershire, as well as agriculture and farming, at the Awards ceremony in London."
VisitEngland Chief Executive Sally Balcombe said: "The Awards shine a spotlight on an industry driven by the highest-calibre people and organisations who deliver unforgettable experiences for visitors, raising the profile of England as a world-class destination and driving the economic benefits of tourism across the regions."
The Awards, now in their 28th year, recognise and congratulate those businesses and individuals from across England who champion the very best practice and excellence in customer service. Winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony on Monday 24 April at the Hilton Waldorf, London.

China's latest glass walkway
One of three glass walkways in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
The glass walkway is part of the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province. Tianmen Mountain is home to two other glass bridge/walkway attractions. The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, the longest glass bottomed bridge in the world was scheduled to open earlier this summer, but has not yet been completed. The first glass walkway in the park opened in 2011.
The Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk is 4,600 feet above sea level, and 1,000 feet above Tongtian Avenue, the road that carries tourists to the top of the mountain. The skywalk has been open to thrill-seeking visitors for just two weeks but is already receiving rave reviews from thrill-seekers.
In the last year, several "glass" attractions have opened around the world, including the skywalks in the Zhangjiajie National Forest, a single story glass slide and observation decks on the 69th and 70th floors of a skyscraper in Los Angeles, and a glass-bottomed walkway over the Thames River in London. Tourists can also find glass skywalks and observation decks in Chicago at the Willis Tower and the former Hancock Observatory.
The emergence of glass walkways, bridges and observation decks as tourist attractions speaks to the strength and versatility of glass. Today, designers are taking every opportunity to incorporate glass into unique interiors and exteriors. Specialized glass coatings like Glassprimer™ glass paint make it possible to incorporate glass and add virtually any color to an interior design plan. Whether you're looking for form, function or a bit of both, consider Glassprimer™ glass paint for your next interior design.
If you're looking for additional glass inspiration, please visit the rest of our site. If you'd like to purchase Glassprimer™ glass paint, please visit our online store .

Viscount Mining Corp (TSX-V: VML, OTCQB: VLMGF) is a Vancouver-based mining project generator. Its strategy is to seek out and acquire properties that have potential to contain large amounts of silver, gold, and other valuable metals. Then it conducts new rounds of exploration to see what's actually in the ground and to pin down what the property is worth.
Now it appears that this approach is paying off big time for Viscount. The company was able to acquire a property in the historic Hardscrabble Silver District of Colorado that had been assessed in the 1980s as containing more than 50 million ounces of silver. The property, named Silver Cliff, hadn't been mined at the time.
Last year, Viscount conducted a new round of test drillings at Silver Cliff. The results recently came in recently and confirmed that the property has some of the highest levels of silver ore ever measured in North America.
Stock analysts are impressed. According to a new equity research report from Alex Cutulenco of Ubika Corporation, "the enterprise value of [Viscount] could increase to at least $50 million, about five times today's enterprise value."
Moreover, the company's potential extends beyond just the Silver Cliff property.
As Viscount CEO Jim MacKenzie explains in a recent interview with Stock-Sector, the company also has painstakingly acquired a valuable mining property in Nevada called Cherry Creek. Recent mapping and analysis shows great promise for gold and silver on that property as well.
To fully assess the new exploration data and the historical records, Viscount has hired one of the nation's top mining experts, Dr. Gilles Arseneau. Dr. Arseneau has more than a quarter-century of experience evaluating gold and base metal deposits everywhere from North and South America to China and Europe.
Once all of the exploration work is done and the data is fully analyzed, Viscount will be looking for experienced partners to mine the property.

The Polti Vaporetto Evolution Steam Cleaner is an environmentally safe steam cleaner that comes supplied with a wide variety of accessories and attachements. With a Polti patented safety-cap and an anti-corrisive, anti-limescale boiler powering the unit, we ask if the Polti Vaporetto Evolution can give your home the sparkly clean it deserves.
Key Features
- 4 Bar Pressure
- Continuous Steam Adjustment On 5 Levels
- British Allergy Seal Of Approval
- Special Window Cleaning Kit
- Uses 20% Less Energy
Steam Cleaners You Might Have Missed
Before delving into our review of the Polti Vaporetto Evolution Steam Cleaner be sure to remember to check out these other steam cleaners that are available.
There are many makes and products available and although they all fundamentally do the same job, the minor variations make the difference between one model and the best steam cleaners.

The Polti Vaporetto Evolution Review
Polti have over thirty years of working and perfecting steam powered home appliances and so their latest offering of steam cleaner is, as the name suggests, an evolution of what has gone before. The Polti Vaporetto Evolution, recently listed as one of the best 10 steam cleaners, is a mid-range steam cleaner that boasts the usual quality features that the company provides including their own patented safety-cap, a strong boiler unit that delivers up to 4 bar of pressure to tackle deeply ingrained grime and a machine that is less of a burden on the environment.
Supplied with the unit are a wide variety of accessories that can be attached to the cleaner which means the Polti Vaporetto Evolution is designed to tackle a wide variety of jobs around the home. We have to make a particular mention to the Window Cleaning Kit that does an excellent job of giving you streak free and clear windows and also the 120° Brush Accessory that allows good access into the hard to reach areas such as you'll find in the toilet.
Attaching these accessories and the setting up of the cleaner for use in general is extremely easy and intuitive. Simply unscrew the water tank cap and use the supplied measuring jug to fill the 1.3 litre tank with water. Once the cap is back in place, it's then just a matter of waiting the 9 minutes or so for the water to boil and you'll have potentially 29 minutes worth of steam to lift that grime and grease. We say potentially. If you ratchet the pressure up to full using the on-board controller you will see that steam time drop by around half so only use the amount of pressure you need for the task at hand.
The Polti Vaporetto Evolution handles most of the cleaning tasks you ask of it with ease and produces highly satisfactory results specifically on tiled surfaces. However, like a lot of low / mid range steam cleaners it does struggle at times with deep stains on softer surfaces like carpets and upholstery and you'll find you'll need a couple of steam, clean, dry and repeat runs to get the results that you want.
Our Verdict On The Polti Vaporetto Evolution Steam Cleaner
The Polti Vaporetto Evolution Steam Cleaner is an excellent little steamer that will make cleaning the home a lot easier than using simple elbow grease alone.
- Excellent Window Cleaning Kit
- Wide Variety Of Accessories
- Great With Tiled Surfaces
- Good 29 Minutes Steam Time
- Quality Issues With Some Accessories
- No On Board Accessory Starage
The accessibility and the ease of use means that cleaning is not only satisfying when you see the results, but pleasureable and we can see the machine becomes an every-day tool in peoples arsenal when tackling dirt and grime.
There are a couple of sore points : the quality of the accessorities are a mixed bag. Some, as mentioned above like the window cleaning kit is good although the squidgee can be a struggle to get to work as intented. Other accessories are not as a high quality as you would expect, however and will wear quick – while others even struggled to stay attached to the hose.
Also, we'd have liked some sort of on-board storage for the attachements. There is a cosy little accessory bag included which does a grand job of keeping things together, but it still means the Polti Vaporetto Evolution takes up two spots in your cupboard rather than one. It's not a biggie as issues go, but would have been nice.
Overall, the Polti Vaporetto Evolution Steam Cleaner is one of the better models in this particular price range and you'll be delighted with most of the results you end up with after a spot of cleaning.

The Righteous Mothers' alter ego band, Func Pro Tunc which is also a band of a dozen amazing musicians who love funk. They perform do R and B and Soul Cover songs from James Brown's to Sly in the Family Stone's to Aretha Franklin's and more. They are truly one of the best dance bands around. Marla is the band's diva (main lead singer) and Clare, Lisa and sometimes Wendy are all part of the back up singers. They are performing Saturday, Dec. 4 at the Fourth Avenue Tavern in Olympia. They performed there at the end of July to a completely packed house. They were such a hit that they were immediately invited back.
Our older news:
The Righteous Mothers just released their 5th CD: DREAM ON. Our next CD release concert is SATURDAY, MAY 15 at the Triple Door in Seattle. Tickets available at www.tripledoor.com 206 838-4333
We are also honored and thrilled to be going to Chicago for the Sister Singer's Network Festival. The festival consists of Women's choirs from all over the country. Many of the choirs sing some of the Righteous Mothers' songs and we are excited to meet and hear them. We will be featured Thursday night for a 30 minute performance during the Ensemble Night and we will also join Womansong from North Carolina on Saturday to sing Pesky Angels and Big Legged Woman. On Sunday, Marla will lead a mass chorus as they sing Arise along with other great songs. The Righteous Mothers are also presenting two workshops there. One on vocal warm ups and the other on group song arrangement. If you are in Chicago check it out. It is being held July 1-4 at Loyola University and should be incredibly fun. For more information go to www.sistersingers.net
Congratulations to our Lisa who just was just tenured at Seattle University Law School and was then promoted to Director of Seattle Universtiy's Law Clinic.
We've gotten great feedback on our Lesbian Honeymoon Holiday Video. THANK YOU!
And we are so excited for our Marla who has been spending the last few weeks in Georgia (no, not the United States but the Georgia that broke from the USSR). She is singing there and studying their music. We can't wait to hear about it and to see what new ideas she brings back for the group.
And lastly, at our shows, besides all of the Righteous Mothers' CD's we will be selling Clare's children's books (of which there are many) and jewelry made by our manager, Lynn. We love to support all of our creative endeavors.
Have you seen our video done of Old Fat Naked Women for Peace? Check it out on this site under Look/Listen or go to YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OINStsPwgQ4 Rate it and write a comment. Also, consider sharing it with eveyone you know. We love hearing your feedback.
The Righteous Mothers had a great concert at the Triple Door on May 9 for Mother's Day where Lisa and Lynn's son and daughter also performed 2 songs with the group. A perfect Mothers' Day gift.
The group also performed with Cheryl Wheeler at the WA Center for the Performing Arts. Cheryl was hysterical and between Cheryl and the Rt. Moms, everyone laughed so hard that we heard from fans for weeks complaining of how much their cheeks hurt.
Some older news....
The Righteous Mothers had a great time at Haller Lake in North Seattle. Fantastic community center!
This summer he Righteous Mothers spent a week at Puget Sound Guitar Workshop. The enjoyed jam after jam and learned from amazing musicians from around the world. Wendy, Clare and Lisa got a kick out of learning the ukelele so don't be surprised if you start hearng it on songs such as Lesbian Honeymoon! Marla took advanced training on the harmonica and they had fun learning how to make their voices sound "country" (more like Appalacian actually) from Alice Gerrard of Hazel and Alice fame. Brooklyn born Lisa found the country sound was not easy to imitate.
August was spent in Asheville, North Carolina to sing with the wonderful choir, Womansong. They have sung a few of The Righteous Mothers' songs for years and invited us back to do two concerts with them. We had great audiences. In fact, the first night our competition in the area was the Beach Boys, Capital Steps, and a free musical festival in downtown Asheville. Yet 400 showed up for that show and many hundred more the next night. Womansong is well known and well loved back there. And what fun they are. We were treated like royalty from beginning to end and felt like Womansong is who the Righteous Mothers would be if they were a choir. Check them out at http://www.womansong.org/
Part of the Righteous Mothers went to Bosnia this spring to join in the festivities of Clare's daughter's wedding. It was wonderful and the combination of music from the mix of cultures was amazing. We kind of like this "destination wedding" scene. Clare's daughter Sarah, married a Bosnian man so the wedding was there as it is much easier for Americans to visit Bosnia then it is for Bosnians to be given visas to come to the US.
On Molly Ivins...
Go to Listen/Look on our website and listen to, or download for free, the Righteous Mothers' new song about this amazing icon. Molly was a brilliant and unabashedly funny nationally syndicated columnist. She died a year ago on January 31, 2007 at the age of 62. We miss her dearly. This song is a tribute to her. Such an amazing woman who greatly influenced the group.
"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was."
—Molly Ivins, "The Fun's in the Fight" column for Mother Jones, 1993.
Press accolades
"They're a band of mothers, voices raised together in sometimes poignant, sometimes piercing social comment, in tender tributes and naughty humor…"
Susan Paynter, Seattle Post Intelligencer
"Weavers + B. Midler + The Roches = The Righteous Mothers"
The Seattle Weekly
"I can never decide what I like best about this group: Their songwriting, their dynamite performance…their firm grasp of social issues, or their non-stop sense of humor."
Mary Loveless, Victory Review
"The Mothers open hearts with their zany physical comedy. The harmonies throughout are taut with an easy feel and the ideology slips unencumbered into consciousness, buoyed as it is by hummable melodies, gentle tone and caressing vision."
Laura Post, Sing Out!
"If you google 'progressive feminist folk' you will come up with only one band – The Righteous Mothers. Simply put, this progressive feminist folk band is a one of a kind musical experience that defies conventional folk music with biting humor and philosophical overtures."
Tony Engelhart, Weekly Volcano
"We love the Righteous Mothers – for their name and their fabulous humor. The sassy women, who sing about social justice but never get strident, like to think of themselves as the 'foremothers of the riot grrls', and they write lyrics such as these: "Knock it off or we'll take it off/We're old, fat, naked women for peace."
Molly Gilmore, The Olympian
"In music land pop reigns, sex sells, and the quality of some artists work is highly questionable. So it is refreshing to see a group that has something important to say and can open up a whole new genre of music to the audience. The Righteous Mothers present their music in such a way that a variety of people whether, gay, straight, fat, skinny, black, white and so on, can relate …Their explosive stage presence, quirky routines, unique dance moves, and remarkable insight clearly captivated the audience."
Catherin O'Dea The Spectator – Seattle University
"…Their tight harmonies, stage choreography, and sassy humor are enchanting."
Gretchen Mottet, Victory Review
"Whatever Olympia is, it will never be as creative, discerning or righteously hilarious as the Righteous Mothers. The success of the Righteous Mothers means a great deal to this fan. It means it's possible to stay in integrity with your musical art, get your art out there where it will mean something to those who hear it, build a devoted following, and live a full life in the process. I continue to notice that, when I celebrate the success of something as wonderful as the Righteous Mothers, I'm celebrating a great deal of what I myself believe in and strive to be…even though, God knows, I'll never be a Mother. But I'll sign up any day of the week to be a Brother…"
Bill Fischer, Southern Exposure Article, Victory Music Review
"INFECTIOUS!…Those in the know liken The Righteous Mothers to The Roche Sisters…Their concert was a warm spirited celebrations."
Cora Fischer, The NW Passage
Presenters' praise
"You were the totally hot act in Saturday's benefit Concert! Your songs are smart and smarting – had us laughing and crying (sometimes both at once). And your stage presence and routines were hilariously perfect. Brilliant performance all the way around. I'm a fan."
Jody Aliesan, PCC Farmland Fund
The Righteous Mothers have established themselves as the hilarious, serious, theatrical, witty feminist band in the Northwest…The Righteous Mothers placed harsh social realities and diverse attitudes in a life-affirming context so that the audience could laugh, learn, and in some cases even get up and dance…It's hard to document what they do best: their songwriting, their dynamic performance, their firm grasp of timely social issues, or their non-stop sense of humor.
Teresa Lynn Loe, Conf. Chair ICSEW,
"These are not social critics masquerading as musicians. They are a quartet of women who phrase their sentiments in marvelously inventive music that ranges from rock to jazz to gospel to blues to folk, all with tight and complex harmonies, backed with guitar, keyboards, bass and percussion."
Bill Fischer, Musical Director/Producer
"The Righteous Mothers have something to say and say it well – with insight, humor and power. Harmony has never been better."
Rod Kennedy, Founder and Producer, Kerrville Folk Festival
"Great sense of theater and humor that is too often missing from musical groups. Very entertaining!"
"Your originality is top notch! I loved your lyrics!"
"Good high energy. Nice, tight performance, won the crowd – and you looked like you loved what you were doing. Good choice of songs – so different from the other groups!"
Judges comments, The Northwest Harmony Sweepstakes
"The set was diverse in mood and yet light and always entertaining. I was so impressed by the blend of voices and close harmonies…you were a real hit."
Alice C. Paine, Executive Director, King County Bar Association
"Big Legged Woman has become our most audience-requested song. It's often our encore piece at performances. Please know that your music inspires us! Thanks for your gifts of song!"
Althea Gonzalez, Womansong CD Coordinator
"These consummate performers charmed the audience with their tight harmonies, sly observations, and dead-on humor."
Lisa Lepine, Offsite Showcase, Folk Alliance Conference
Fanfare (what our fans have to say)
"I love the Righteous Mothers!!"
Christine Lavin
"The Righteous Mother are terrific!"
Peter Yarrow, Peter, Paul and Mary
"The 'mother' of all festival acts. Great harmonies!"
Trout Fishing in America
…"You are great musicians and the songs are outstanding. Not only are the lyrics witty and pointed (and very funny!) but the melodies are exactly appropriate. Then, layered on top of it all, are your playing and singing abilities. Just out of this world. I was amazed and delighted at the harmonies and the way you executed each piece. What a treat. Thank you for performing!"
Eric Chiappinelli, Associate Dean, Seattle University, School of Law
"I have to tell you that I can't stop listening to your Greatest Hits CD. It is fabulous and so funny. It's helping me get through the LA freeways. The lyrics are very clever and funny. Each time I listen I catch more of the nuances. You all are wonderful! I am so impressed."
Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, Vice President; Dean,
"Singing with the Righteous Mothers always ensures a wonderful and heartfelt experience…"
Pastor Pat Wright, Total Experience Gospel Choir
"I don't know of any group that can move me so quickly from gales of laughter to tears of sorrow--and joy. I weep when I listen to their CD's, for God's sake. And laugh out loud. Their music quickens in the moment and after many, many listenings."
A devoted fan, Carolyn Prouty
"I was raised by your music. You taught me how to sing and how to think with your music. I continue to grow with your songs as we all age, gracefully!"
Hannah Kelly-Glasoe (a young lifetime fan!)
"The Righteous Mothers incorporate humor, great melodies and incredible voices that seem to get better over the years! Their songs are sassy and always hit home!'
Carla Milter
"Such a creative group of ladies – wonderfully clever, musical, and funny too."
A Fan from Traditions Cafe
"Powerful lyrics – moving you from laughter to tears in a single song."
Another Traditions Café Fan
"The Righteous Mothers Rock!"
Teresa. Olympia, WA
"The Righteous Mothers deliver great music, great messages, and FUN! I am both entertained and moved each time I hear them."
Tina, Olympia, WA
"Hello RMs-- We attended your performance this past Sat at Traditions Cafe. We were the group at a table in the back with 4 adults and a 3 year old little girl. This was her first performance outing, and, although she is still learning appropriate behavior, no one seemed to mind. She has been singing about naked Hoosiers a lot and the day care staff is not sure why. Another fan of the group is Gilmore, my husband's yellow lab guide dog. We did not bring him to the performance on Sat, however, because we did not want him to sing along, too.
Your group will always hold a special place for my husband and I. Our first "date" (we were friends for many years) was a RM event at Evergreen College. Here's to another great 25 years for you. Sign me up as another OFNW (Old Fat Naked Woman) for Peace."

Protect your gear.
Given the nature of triathlon, it's likely that your training will take you from wet to dry quite often. Accordingly, TYR developed its Utility Wet/Dry Bag in order to safely transport your gear. The bag is small enough to fit inside of your typical equipment bag, but large enough to carry the essentials like shoes, caps, goggles, or even a towel. To use it, place your wet or dry gear inside the bag, roll the top strip down three times, and buckle it closed. Easy as that. And to simplify the bag's transport, the buckle creates an ample-sized handle should you wish to simply carry it alone. However, it is worth noting that although the Utility bag is constructed from a waterproof fabric and features bonded seams, TYR does recommend 'double bagging' your electronic devices for an extra touch of security.
The TYR Utility Wet/Dry Bag is available in a size Large (4L) that comes in the color Black, and a size Small (1L) that comes in the color Red.

Nice bag
I use this sometimes on the pool and when I need to keep wet things separate from dry clothes. It works as expected and it's a useful addition.
Great for the pool & the gym
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this product to hold my suit after a swim & also my shower gear after getting ready at the gym. It is great to not have your wet gear floating around in your bag. The large is pretty big & can fit suit, shampoo, conditioner, soap, & fit flops.

Ms. Ries was a partner at Rosenberg|Martin|Greenberg, LLP for fifteen years prior to venturing out on her own to continue her practice of law. Prior to Rosenberg Martin, she was a partner in the Real Estate Department of Frank, Bernstein, Conaway & Goldman. She formed Leslie S. Ries, P.C. in 1991, which has been certified as a women-owned enterprise by the City of Baltimore since that time.
A frequent teacher and lecturer on issues related to real estate transactions, Ms. Ries was an Adjunct Professor at the University of Maryland School of Law for 13 years where she taught a course on real estate transactions. She also served on the Real Property, Planning and Zoning Section Council of the Maryland State Bar Association for many years.
Ms. Ries has been active with some of the area's leading non-profit organizations. She co-founded the annual Lawyers' Campaign Against Hunger that has raised over $2,000,000 for poverty organizations, and Second Helping, a program that redistributes surplus food from restaurants and hotels to area emergency shelters. She also serves on the national advisory board of the Shriver Center at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
In 2004 Ms. Ries was diagnosed with breast cancer for which she successfully underwent chemotherapy and multiple surgeries. That life-altering experience inspired her to give up her positions as a partner at the growing law firm and law school professor in order to focus her energies on just three major components of her personal and professional life that she enjoyed the most:
1. The fundamental elements of serving as a legal advisor and counselor to her individual clients and small to medium-sized businesses on transactional matters.
2. Ms. Ries and her husband, Tom Ries, and their daughters, Emily and Carly, started The Fuchsia Foundation, a donor-advised fund of the Baltimore Community Foundation, to develop products and initiatives that help people who have been diagnosed with cancer and their loved ones. Ms. Ries is currently helping establish a fund for innovative breast cancer research at Johns Hopkins. More information about the Fuchsia Foundation can be found at www.thinkbrighter.org.
3. Being an investor in several commercial and residential real estate projects in Maryland. Owing real estate has strengthened her understanding of the issues involved in the purchase, management, and sale of property.
Ms. Ries is a graduate of The Park School, Hampshire College, and the University of Maryland School of Law.

Maurice (Mom) Boucher, imprisoned for life in the killings of two prison guards, was arrested and faces a charge of conspiracy to commit murder in an alleged plot to kill Raynald Desjardins, himself incarcerated for the slaying of a rival Mob boss.
Others arrested Thursday included Leonardo Rizzuto, 46, the son of deceased Mob boss Vito Rizzuto; Loris Cavaliere, 61, the longtime lawyer for the Rizzuto family; and Salvatore Cazzetta, 60, an influential biker gang member.

["Guest Column: Many share responsibility for civilian deaths, Sgt. Bales," Opinion, June 15.] Thank goodness he had the courage to point out the obvious: 1. Multiple tours are immoral and 2. Institute the draft and find out how quickly these immoral "wars" would end once our kids were jerked out of the good life, put on boots and marched to Afghanistan to have their legs blown off. Daily, soldiers walk across dusty terrain, out in the open like sitting ducks, walking into land mines. Does anyone else in America think this is insane? Susan Fox, Seattle Multiple tours are damaging to soldiers It has never been said better and clearer, starting with instituting the draft. If those hawks in Congress want wars, then put their kids at the head of the line. Making our troops suffer through four or five tours and using the excuse that they are volunteers is ludicrous. Should we be thankful that the majority who crack under pressure turn it inward and suffer depression, PTSD, broken families and suicide, but don't go on a rage like Army Sgt. Robert Bales did? For the record, I did a one-year tour in Vietnam and I only met one person who volunteered for an extension of his tour there. There is no question that the world is a dangerous place and there are aggressive bad guys out there. The question is, are we a bit too aggressive ourselves?

Having to scroll through masses of super sunny holiday snaps when you've been gripped by the soul sucking holiday blues is no mean feat, let me tell you. So although this post is a little late, you and I should both be very grateful that not only is it published, but that I was able to do so without resorting to running away with the savings to spend the rest of my days on a tropical island somewhere . . . and subsequently starving to death, because I am a student, therefore have very few savings.
Hope you like! Now excuse me while I wollow in self pity, Laura x x x

Rep. Bob Gannon Goes Over His Own Edge
By Ed Heinzelman On June 23, 2016 · 2 Comments · In Big Government, Guns & Gun Control, Idiocy/Lunacy, Those Kooky Conservatives!, Wisconsin Politics
Sometimes you wonder where the party of personal responsibility, small government and local control gets their off the sanity continuum ideas. The latest off the charts wing nut is Wisconsin State Representative Bob Gannon (R-Slinger). His proposal is to put the fear of insurance rates into the hearts of business owners who have legally (under the Concealed Carry Legislation he and his cohort passed some time back) posted their establishments as no weapon areas. What does Rep. Gannon want to do?
Wisconsin's 2011 concealed carry law creates immunity from civil liability for gun-related deaths for businesses that allow guns on their property.
Gannon's proposal, dubbed the "Disarmed Citizen Compensation Act," would go a step further in discouraging gun-free zones by allowing a victim of gun violence to sue businesses with such bans and recover triple the amount of damages without regard to who was at fault.
Obviously this is a threat to many small businesses who would see their insurance rates climb if they didn't remove their ban on weapons on their premises. So sorry about private property rights and local control and the free market…
And what about personal responsibility? "without regard to who was at fault" says it all. Doesn't this fly in the face of the meme that guns don't kill people? Couldn't this imply that the gun was at fault?
Needless to say this a horrible idea…one that I would be surprised to see the rest of the GOP get behind. They will lose the support of small business and probably insurance companies and agents.
So just hours after this and similar articles came out, I found this story of some interest:
Milwaukee police say Marquette University students were injured when a gun accidentally discharged at the entrance of a restaurant on campus.
A statement from the Milwaukee Police Department says the accident was reported shortly before 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when a man accidentally discharged a firearm near the front door of Sobelman's Pub & Grill.
The statement says three women and one man suffered minor injuries that didn't require medical treatment when they were struck by debris caused by the discharge.
The department says the man who discharged the gun fled the area and it wasn't clear whether he was injured.
So Sobelman's Pub would be at fault in this case if Rep. Gannon's idea was already the law? Does that sound even remotely reasonable?
PS (I don't know what Sobelman's Pub policy is on weapons on their premises).

Sue says:
So, someone with a grudge against a business can go in with a gun, do some damage (oops, the gun I wasn't supposed to have in here fired 'accidentally' but even if it's my fault the business owner pays), and sit back and wait for a triple fine. Or a gun rights advocate decides to make a statement, same result. Isn't that kind of the same thing as breaking someone's window and then demanding they receive a fine for vandalism?
Jonathan Swift says:
Shouldn't the liability really rest on those who approved the conceal carry law?
Chris Walker at "Political Heat" has several good posts discussing the increased violent crime and gun death rates since passage.

Of Babies and Husbands
I have a husband and I have a scootchy, army crawling almost toddler. They both get into plenty of messes. Between my husband's garden and CrossFit workout clothing, he makes plenty of laundry. I'm always looking for ways to get the stink out… I gave up on stains on those a while ago. But now, with an scootchy baby and a house full of hardwood, I have a new challenge… getting nugget's clothing looking like new.
I'm a big fan of Purex but truth be told, lately, I'm a big fan of anything I have a coupon for… which has not been Purex, of late. However, the folks at Purex recently sent me their newest stain fighting laundry detergent – Purex® plus Clorox 2 – to try.
And wow, it's like they just knew what was coming… shortly after I received the box, my son got a nasty virus… let's just say it was coming out both ends and I was doing A LOT of laundry. When he has had tough stains in the past, I have had to wash his onesies twice sometimes or at least stain treat them before… not with Purex® plus Clorox 2! WOW! They came right out and it was safe for colors.
I was thankful because all nugs wanted to do when he was sick was snuggle and I'd rather snuggle that baby boy than do laundry any day. I've checked it out in the store and it's a pretty smart value. Price is good and the quality is excellent.
And for being an awesome, hardworking laundry do'er… Purex® sent along a coupon for a free bottle for me to share!
You can find Purex on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.

My worst stains are when my daughter eats blueberries. My best tip is to rinse the stain really well right away and then soak it till you're ready to wash.
David : May 19, 2016 at 11:49 am
Ink is the hardest stain to remove, but if you can manage to get to it before it dries, it will come out. I find that many food stains will rinse out with water if you get to them right away.

I tend to spills things a lot especially coffee.. If it happen at home it wouldn't be too bad, but I happen sometime when I am out .

The stains I really struggle with are fat/grease stains. Most of the other baby stains have come out ok 🙂

Dean and Willow have been in a messy situation for a while now, but it's about to get much worse. After the card skimming operation at Salt, which resulted in the pair knocking Alf to the ground and Willow calling the ambulance, they thought the incident was behind them.
But after hearing Willow's emergency call, Colby takes her down to the station and tells her she's being charged with assault. Witnessing the scenes, Dean is alarmed, and insists he's to blame for the crimes.
While Willow returns to live with the Morgans and recover from her gambling addiction, Dean realises his life is a mess. Not only does he have nowhere to live, he's broke and waiting to appear in court.
When he appears in the Diner, Irene and Alf confront him over the assault and tell him he's no longer welcome. Later on, he uses the last of his money to buy a beer, and Robbo checks in with him. Taking pity on him when he sees Dean has no plans for moving forwards, Robbo hands him some cash and tells him he should have a decent night's sleep in a motel.
Reluctantly taking the money, Dean heads to rest – but things don't get clearer for him. In the morning, he packs up his belongings, gets in his car and drives away from the Bay. Will he be coming back?

Philoxenia – Hotelia – Polis
The increasing rise of Greek tourism followed this year by the exhibitions of PHILOXENIA, HOTELIA and POLIS. Those exhibitions took part from 12 to 15 of November at the premises of the International Exhibition Center of Thessaloniki. Based on the official data from Helexpo overall increase in visitors was 17%. As every year, this year in addition to these three exhibitions were a lot of parallel events three of which stood out due to the large influx of visitors to them. Spotlight singled conference titled Destination Thessaloniki, the event entitled The Art of Drinking Coffee and Spirit and the DPOINT Hotel Village. Those three exhibitions were based on its attendance mainly to trade visitors. Compared to last year's Philoxenia 2014, the report showed an increase in visitors of 17%, while Hotelia exposure of 95%. More than 3,000 scheduled appointments between exhibitors and 107 foreign guest trade visitors held during the exhibition. The foreign guest trade visitors came from 32 different countries.

The exhibitors of Hotelia this yaer were 157. The last year the exhibitors of Hotelia were 141.
In this year's exhibitions as it was expected, were present all the tourism operators of the city of Thessaloniki. All the Hotels of Thessaloniki City either by exhibitors or by visitors representatives left their mark. As it was expected from this year's events could not be missed by the hotel ad Imperial Palace which is one of the most representative hotels in the center of Thessaloniki. The hotel a.d. Imperial Palace was represented by two members of his administration. The purpose of the above action was the new relationships and the further promotion of both the hotel and its services and the tourist product of Thessaloniki at the specialized tourism professionals. Representatives of the hotel came into contact with many different tourist organizations noting the increasing strengthening of the tourism profile of the city of Thessaloniki.

I've had some fun cooking challenges lately. For Myrna, a blogging friend whom I invited to dinner last week I planned a gluten, corn, soy and dairy free meal. It was easier than I thought. Potato splats, chicken with olives, capers and oranges, salad and a vegetable that I can't remember just now. For dessert, a coconut milk crème caramel.
On Monday, friends from Victoria came for dinner. One of them is on a 21-day cleanse, which consisted basically of gluten-free vegan. She didn't make a big deal of it, and would have eaten whatever I'd cooked, but since I knew she was doing this, I decided to see how I could accommodate her. The result is in the above photo: Twice-baked Sweet Potatoes with a hint of heat from chipotle pepper and fresh ginger, a Brown Rice Pilaf, and Green Beans with Fresh Tomatoes cooked down with a little garlic and balsamic vinegar.
I was very pleased with the blend of flavours and the satisfying quality of the meal. I would probably miss cheese more than meat, but trying out a new way of cooking was enjoyable.
Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
4 medium to large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 onion, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
1-2 teaspoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
salt to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. With the tip of a knife, poke a few holes into each sweet potato. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender, 45-70 minutes. Let cool until they can be handled.
While the potatoes are cooling, heat the 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a pan. Over low to medium heat sauté the onion until very tender, but not brown. Stir in the fresh ginger and chipotle powder.
Cut a thin slice from the top of each sweet potato. Gently scoop out the insides, leaving a thin shell against the skin. Lightly mash the sweet potato centers and stir in the onion mixture. Add 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil, salt and the fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt or lemon juice as wanted. The chipotle pepper powder tends to increase heat with time, so be judicious in adding more.
Spoon the seasoned sweet potato mixture back into the shells. These can be prepared ahead to this point, then refrigerated. When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the potatoes until hot through, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds to serve, if desired.
Brown Rice Pilaf
1 1/2 cup brown rice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegans)
2 scallions, sliced (use both the green and white parts)
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds, then add the rice. Stir until all the grains are coated with oil. Add the salt, lemon juice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender. Just before serving, stir in the sliced scallions.

Claude de Visdelou
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (May 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Claude de Visdelou (12 August 1656 – 11 November 1737) was a French Jesuit missionary.
De Visdelou was born at the Château de Bienassis, Erquy, Brittany. He entered the Society of Jesus on 5 September 1673, and was one of the missionaries sent to China by Louis XIVin 1687. He acquired a wide knowledge of the Chinese language and literature. Other learned Jesuits considered that he gave too much credit to modern Chinese commentators, who being atheists and materialists read their own ideas into the ancient Chinese sages.
When the papal legate Mgr. de Tournon came to China in 1705, chiefly to regulate the question of the Chinese Rites, Visdelou was the only Jesuit favourable to their prohibition. Tournon appointed him Vicar Apostolic of Kwei-chou with the title of bishop of Claudiopolis in Isauria, but his superiors opposed the nomination, since Visdelou had not received papal dispensation from his vow not to accept ecclesiastical dignity.
With the missionaries who had submitted to the decree against the rites, Visdelou followed the legate to Macau, where he was secretly consecrated bishop, 2 February 1709. He then set out for Pondicherry where he arrived, 25 June 1709; he remained there in great retirement in the house of the French Capuchins until his death at Pondicherry.
Visdelou took with him over 500 volumes in Chinese and almost his sole occupation consisted in working on these. He sent to Rome several writings on the questions of the rites. The Sinologist, James Legge, says he "was in the habit of writing extravagantly about the Chinese and caricaturing their sentiments" ("Notions of the Chinese concerning God and the spirit", Hong Kong, 1852, 10). His most trustworthy works deal with the history of the Tartars. He collected from Chinese historians unique documents on the peoples of Central Asia and Eastern Asia: Huns, Tatars, Mongols, and Turks.
His researches on this subject were first published as supplement to Herbelot's Bibliothèque orientale (1779). However, they must have assisted Joseph de Guignes in his history of the Huns, for the geographer Anville who had handled all Visdelou's valuable manuscript on the Tatars tells us that the author had sent them to the Academician Jean-Roland Malet, who died in 1736 (Memoire de M. d'Anville sur la Chine, 1776, 33).

To boost your memory, try and concentrate your consideration on anything by getting rid of everything that will distract you in the activity at hand. When you commit time for you to target, the merchandise of emphasis moves from short-term memory to long-term memory. Distraction adversely affects focus, which leads to inadequate memory.

You can employ this very same sort of rhyming scheme to aid you keep in mind a selected date or time period.
Use regular research classes in excess of a period of time relatively than a solitary cramming session. Scientific studies have shown that in case you examine substance more than a training course of some times, you might have a much better opportunity of remembering it than should you cram inside a single night time.

The technique could have applications in microfluidic systems, the labs-on-a-chip that promise to revolutionize analytical chemistry and biochemistry.A photonic technique based on the temperature-dependence of fluorescence in a dilute fluorophore takes the temperature of a fluid. The approach promises applications in microfluidic systems for analytical chemistry and biochemistry.The approach is based on the temperature-dependence of fluorescence in a dilute fluorophore. David Ross, a researcher on the project at the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Md., explained that the fluorophore must have a glow that changes predictably with temperature. Aside from that, there are few requirements to the system."It is best to use a neutral, or uncharged, fluorophore when there are strong electric fields in the system," Ross said. "If the fluorophore is charged, its concentration -- and therefore, the intensity -- could be changed by the electric fields."The process begins with the calibration of changes in the fluorophore across the temperature range of interest by uniformly heating it and measuring the fluorescence intensity with a standard microscope and CCD camera. The technique has an ideal precision of 0.03 °C at room temperature and 0.07 °C at approximately 90 °C, but this varies with the temporal and spatial resolution and with the amount of signal averaging.With less temperature precision, measurements can be obtained in as little as 33 ms and cover 1 x 1 µm.Using a mercury arc lamp, filters for emission and excitation, a digital camera from Cohu Inc. of San Diego and the fluorophore rhoda-mine B, the NIST researchers have measured fluid temperatures in 50-µm-wide microchannels. They have estimated that the precision in these experiments was a few degrees centigrade.The group hopes that the technique will find an application in microfluidic systems. Ross noted that there is plenty of room for refinement. "Increased resolution could also be achieved with better optics and/or a better camera; we just used a standard, inexpensive gray-scale camera," he said.

Out of the box, your Opengear device runs a stateful netfilter/iptables firewall with a default deny input policy. A firewall ruleset is automatically built and installed based on enabled features and per-interface service access policy.
At a high level, per-interface access through the firewall is configured under System -> Services -> Service Access. You may also use custom firewall under System -> Firewall -> Firewall Rules for more granular control, e.g. to restrict connections to those originating from a trusted source network.
Rule order
Rule order is important as packets fall through the firewall chains top to bottom, until they hit a matching rule that allows or blocks.
Custom Firewall Rules are inserted before system rules and Service Access rules. It is important that you do not manually add a custom "block all" rule as this will break connection tracking (system rule) and impair functionality.
Moreover, the input policy ends with a "block all" rule by default – so the solution is to disable Service Access rules so they are not matched, and unwanted packets fall through the the default "block all" rule.
iptables rules
The configured firewall ruleset in iptables-restore format is available in the filesystem at /etc/config/fw.rules (IPv4) and /etc/config/fwipv6.rules (IPv6).
You can also view rules with the standard iptables commands:
iptables -t filter -L -v iptables -t mangle -L -v iptables -t nat -L -v
ip6tables -t filter -L -v
ip6tables -t mangle -L -v
Custom iptables commands
Advanced users may install persistent rules using arbitrary iptables commands by adding them to /etc/config/scripts/firewall-post file. This is a shell script that's run after fw*.rules are installed.

We've been making basil pesto for many years, but we rarely made it offseason, since basil is just so much more flavorful during the height of summer. But when a pesto craving hit us recently we turned to kale, and now we're totally hooked. Kale pesto is not just a substitution for basil. It has a depth of flavor that's very much it's own and paired with walnuts it's a fabulously healthy combination, loaded with omega-3s.
We love the pesto tossed with thin linguini (as shown), but it's equally as fabulous on grilled chicken or fish, or spread on multigrain bread, topped with fresh mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes, for a yummy sandwich packed with goodness.
Kale Pesto with Toasted Walnuts
Makes 1 cup pesto
1/3 cup walnuts
3 cups tightly packed torn kale, stems removed
3 cloves garlic, halved
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Place a dry skillet over medium-high heat, add the walnuts and cook until they begin to brown, shaking the pan and stirring so they do not burn, 3 to 5 minutes.Transfer to a plate to cool.
In a food processor or a blender combine the cooled nuts, the kale, and the garlic and pulse until coarsely chopped. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and add the Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Pulse until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and pulse to combine.
If storing for later use, transfer the pesto to an airtight container and layer with a coating of 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Refrigerate until needed, 7 to 10 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
