The first thing that came to my mind when I thought RAINBOW jellies = Alot of work. Think - layers upon layers!
And indeed it took a fair bit of effort to assemble; but, I must say the success rate is pretty high, and you really don't need much ingredients, you need time!
Ingredients and Items needed:
1. Singlong brand Konnyaku Jelly (250g/packet)
2. Coloring (only need 3 primary colors - red, blue & yellow - as those will be able to create the secondary colors like green & purple)
3. Measuring Cups
4. Measuring Spoons (for accuracy)
5. Chopped Fruits (optional)
Run a Trial Test:
Before I did my actual Jellies for the Birthday celebration, I ran a trial test to make sure I got the right kind of jellies and the right kind of results. Hence, to prevent any ad-hoc crisis, I strongly encourage anyone trying this to do a trial before hand.
As seen here, I tried 3 different brands of jellies that easily available in local supermarkets, but Singlong was my preferred choice, both on cost and quality.
Tortally was EXTREMELY soft and took a long time to harden, so this is not the best product for this project, however, I do think Tortally will taste yummy cos it is so wobbly and soft!
Many tutorials on youtube featured having a white jelly between the colors, but I just couldn't get the right mix of white jelly, hence I ditched the idea and thought, why not just go clear - it will be less a hassle, no need yoghurt, sour cream or coconut milk (all these were recommended ingredients to add to the jelly to create a white jelly).
As seen, when the jelly was first created, the layers do not blend in and looked very raw (middle picture), but once it all cooled down in the fridge, they blended in super well, and looked just as pretty as I wanted, except that I thought 4 colors sis not cut it as a "rainbow", and was determined to add 1 more color for the real thing.
First, plan it on a paper:
Yes, I am more of a visual person, so I needed to draw it and plan the measurements well, besides, to make this rainbow, alot of maths is involved. Now I know why I studied math in school!
1. Decide the container you will be using to create your jelly, you can make jelly cups (like mine), or you could even make container style - I choose jelly cups that measure 150ml / cup. These were purchased from SKP.
2. How many colors do you want in your cup?
I needed 5 layers of colors, from the bottom starting with PURPLE - CLEAR - BLUE - CLEAR - GREEN - CLEAR - YELLOW - CLEAR - RED.
Since my cup is only 150ml, accuracy in the measurements are key. So every colored layer needs to be 20ml, every clear layer needs to be 10ml.
3. How many cups are you making?
I planned on 20 cups, so that means:
Each layer of color jelly: 20ml x 20 cups = 400ml
Each layer of clear jelly needs to be 10ml x 20 cups = 200ml
4. Be prepare that you need to make a total of 9 layers (as indicated in point 2), which means mixing the jelly separately for 9 times and pouring them into the cups 9 times.
Boil Water >> Add Powder >> Add Colouring >> Pour in 20 cups >> Quickly place in fridge to cool AND REPEAT THIS x 9 times!
**Important Note: You can only start to prepare the next layer once you have placed the cups in the fridge. Preparing too early will only lead to wastage as the jelly cools really fast!
And NOPE, you cannot make all the clear jelly at once, cos you need to allow time for the previous colored layer to set before pouring in every next layer of clear jelly. The jelly mix would have all stiffen up once you wait.
5. Measuring the exact amount of water and powder mix for each layer.
Singlong Jelly comes in 250g pkt and it required 1250ml of water to dissolve the powder.
If you work out the sums:
1250ml = 250g powder
100ml = 20g powder
200ml = 40g powder
400ml = 80g powder
(Based on my measuring cups, 2 x 1/8 cups = 40g of powder)
*Important Note: You can use any other preferred utensils to measure, but for me, using the cups was highly accurate as compared to just a regular spoon as a spoon cant be leveled like a cup can, and you need to be fast when preparing each layer, so I will recommend you use a cup as well)
Actual Method:
Once you have worked out the steps, as above, all you need to do is simply follow the plan closely, this is all about physically doing it according to the plan.
1. Create the bottom layer = Purple;
- prepare 400ml water in a pot, add in 80g of powder and stir till it boils,
- add in coloring (blue plus red)
- once well mixed and no bubbles, use 10ml measuring spoons to scoop and transfer into the cups
- once all 20 cups are filled, refrigerate
2. Create the next layer = Clear;
- prepare 200ml water in a pot, add in 40g of powder and stir till it boils
- once well mixed and no bubbles, use 10ml measuring spoons to scoop and transfer into the cups
- once all 20 cups are filled, refrigerate
*Note: You can add in the fruits at any point you like.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 until you are done with the top layer (red).
So as you can see from picture below, there are fails too (most likely for the clear layer since this only contains 200ml of liquid).
If you are too slow, they harden up really fast and you cannot transfer it anymore.
Hence after my experience, I will encourage you to make 300ml of clear jelly instead, just so it will not solidify that quickly.
TADANG! The fruits of my labour!
Finally, I think 5 layers is minimum for it to look Rainbow enough!
Have fun and enjoy DIYing!

Ecotools Review
I am making a conscious effort towards making green choices in my day to day living. I recycle, bring my own grocery bags, try to eat organic when I can and use only eco-friendly cleaning products. I also use only green bath and beauty products which are more suitable to my sensitive skin.
I was very excited to be able to review a product from the new Ecotools Collection, a collection of the finest green beauty products. This entire line has bamboo handles. Bamboo has a low impact on the earth's resources since it is a highly sustainable plant and can grow up to 4 feet a day. Wow! The collection features animal- free taklon bristles which are made from synthetic hair and the metal ferrule (the piece what holds the bristles on the brush) is made from recycled aluminum cans. It comes in a reusable pouch and the printing is done with plant based ink. You can now see that this collection is eco-friendly right down to the minute detail!
In an effort to give back, Ecotools has joined forces with 1% For The Planet, an alliance with other businesses who are committed to creating a healthier planet. 1% of Ecotools annual sales are donated to the organization. Very cool!
I received the 5 Piece Brush Set for my review. It contains a Mineral Powder Brush, Concealer Brush, Eye Shading brush, Baby Kabuki all in a natural hemp/cotton Cosmetic bag. These brushes are perfect for the mineral makeup that I now wear. I get way less pimples using natural products so they are the way to go where my skin is concerned.
I loved how soft these brushes felt on my face as I applied my makeup. They allow you to create a nice soft look with your makeup and it applies very easily with the brushes. My foundation was a cinch to apply and went on smoothly and evenly. A big selling feature for me is the fact that they are a green product. I've heard of bamboo and was always interested in trying out a product that used it.
Another great point I wanted to mention is that all of the Ecotools Collection is extremely affordable. I had to do a double take when I saw how GOOD the prices were! The 5 Piece Brush Set I received is only $9.99! It's such an amazing price for the quality of brushes you receive. This is a high end product that you would think would cost way more than that! Actually, all of Ecotools Collection is affordable with the most expensive item at $12.99!!!
To purchase any of the Ecotools Collection, please visit their website to find a retailer near you.
Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.

Classic: The Sights and Sounds of the Arcade in 1991
I loved Bally's Aladdin's Castle in the Meridian Mall when I was a kid. I liked it better when it was by MC Sporting Goods and went a lot less when they moved down by Service Merchandise. Are these failed store names bringing back any memories? How about Vandervorts? Or B Altman?
These guys captured some footage in 1991 and it really made me want to go back if just for a few minutes. That Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game ate the bulk of my quarters. Punch Out got a lot of play from me. Spy Hunter was the game I spent the most money on.
It all changed for me when I started noticing the ladies. The games became less fun than chasing women and chasing women had more reward. I also hated it when they went to the ticket system. 5 million tickets gets you a pencil eraser! The REAL reward was getting your name on the high scores... and always will be.

You are in Direct - Listed Equity Active Ownership » (Proxy) voting and shareholder resolutions
Class actions
We carry out proxy voting for all Institutional clients who request Longview Partners to be responsible for the implementation of their voting rights. In order to effectively meet these requirements, Longview engages Glass Lewis to vote on our clients' behalf at all relevant company meetings. We believe Glass Lewis' expert and independent analysis on governance complements Longview's stock selection process. However, Longview Partners would advocate the exercising of votes, and where necessary, objective and informed intervention in line with our Shareholder Activism Policy.
All voting decisions are made on a case-by-case basis by Glass Lewis's specialist research analysts, in line with their detailed regional policies, which are approved by Longview on an annual basis. However, Longview would advocate the exercising of votes, contrary to Glass Lewis policy, where necessary.
The decision to vote contrary to Glass Lewis's recommendation is made collectively by the Research team and CIO and will often follow engagement between our Research team and the company. Where Longview becomes aware of a governance issue, or has concerns that the company's management is not acting in shareholders' interests, we are willing to challenge management in an attempt to protect and enhance the interests of our clients and will exercise our right to vote against management, where appropriate.
The Glass Lewis ViewPoint voting system employs a rigorous ballot reconciliation process to ensure that all ballots which a client is entitled to vote are indeed voted. Reconciliation is a rigorous audit process performed on a daily basis. This process compares a comprehensive list of meeting notices and agendas for shareholder meetings against the holdings data delivered to Glass Lewis by the client, custodian or client representative. This reconciliation process enables Glass Lewis to determine if ballots are missing.
For policy implementation, Glass Lewis performs a regular audit post-proxy season to determine whether any irregularities arose in applying vote recommendations. In addition, on an annual basis Longview's Operations team conduct a review of votes cast to ensure that their rationale adheres to Glass Lewis's policy.
Reporting & oversight
Longview's Operations team receives a quarterly report for each participating client account from Glass Lewis, detailing all items on the agenda and votes cast for each company where there was a meeting that quarter. Reports can be accessed on a more regular basis if required. The Operations team ensures that Glass Lewis votes all proxies according to any specific client instructions and Longview's general guidance, and retains all required documentation associated with proxy voting.
Additionally, the Operations team have regular service level calls with Glass Lewis and conduct due diligence on an annual basis to ensure Glass Lewis's policy and procedures are up to date and functioning as expected.
We voted 100% of the ballot items on which we could issue instructions.
At management's request, Longview will discuss any votes cast against management.
Where Longview becomes aware of a governance issue, or has concerns that the company's management is not acting in shareholders' interests, we are willing to challenge management in an attempt to protect and enhance the interests of our clients and will exercise our right to vote against management, where appropriate. Furthermore, if after lengthy discussions we believed that management was failing to act in shareholders' interests, we would reduce our Quality rating to Q3 and sell our holding in order to minimise the loss of shareholder value.

No, I'm not referencing some sort of illegal comedy broadcast on these bands. I'm talking about some rather random, yet, funny conversations that took place on the morning of 5 January 2012. W4TMR - (Charles T. Kluttz, Jr.) is known as an educated and thoughtful skeptic who is quite outspoken. Well, W4TMR was heard on two different 160 meter frequencies, namely, 1864.97Khz and 1865.01Khz lower side band; talking about two separate subjects that will leave you crying from laughing so hard!
Two other good recordings were made on 5 January 2012 involving wild hogs and bear meat, then we just missed a contact made with the corporate owner of Icom but were able to record the result of this conversation. Listen or download below at the links provided. All of these are MP3 files. Please ask before modifying these files for your own use.
W4TMR - Crazy Dreams and Concealed Weapons starts out with W4TMR talking about his crazy dream, and the next station has no idea who to turn the frequency over to. The conversation then turns to concealed weapons on1864.97Khz.
Wild Hogs and Bear Meat
These guys on 1954.97Khz (160 meters) talk about killing wild hogs and bears, eating bear meat.
Icom Corporate Owner On 40 Meters
7157.98Khz (7.157.98Mhz). Ignore the tuning on this recording in certain spots, as I had to keep tuning to stay on frequency.
W4TMR re-surfaces with a conversation about taking his wife to the doctor

Open Un-Neutrality – Will FCC Re-Distribute Internet Opportunity? For Consumers? Businesses? Investors?Submitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2009-10-19 10:46
In effectively reversing fifteen-year bipartisan U.S. communications policy from promoting competition and reducing regulation to promoting regulation and reducing competition, the FCC's coming "Open Internet" regulations are anything but neutral; they pick sides and strongly skew outcomes.
Wireless Innovation Regulation -- "Believe it or Not!"Submitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2009-09-18 11:05
With due to credit to "Ripley's Believe it or Not!®," so much odd and bizarre is happening in Washington in the "name" of "wireless innovation" and competition that the topic calls for its own collection of: "Believe it or Not!®" oddities.
Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstom, the co-founder of illegal-music-downloading site Kazaa, who had to avoid entering the U.S. because of copyright-infringement liability... is now seeking a U.S. court injunction to shut down eBay's Skype for alleged copyright violations!
Taking one's business elsewhere -- what a concept! TechCrunch's Arrington proves competition worksSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2009-08-10 14:34
Sometimes the simplest solution can somehow elude people for a period of time.
Competitive differentiated choice -- what a concept -- why didn't anyone think of this before?
Mr. Arrington's epiphany -- that robust wireless and broadband competition not only exists, but actually works very well -- is a powerful reminder that the first and best solution for consumers is not regulation, but to simply to choose to take their business elsewhere.
Competition Works! New data shows U.S. wireless market most competitive in OECD by farSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2009-05-13 12:19
The latest wireless statistics submitted to the FCC today show that the U.S. leads the OECD in wireless competition, use and price; the U.S. is not falling behind.
The CTIA study is based on Merrill Lynch's research of OECD data. Please read the report's summary findings below:
"The price per minute of service in the United States is the lowest of the 26 OECD countries tracked by Merrill Lynch.

Implications of Skype's IPO for eBay-Skype & Wireless Net NeutralitySubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2009-04-15 19:00
Given that eBay's announced spin-off/IPO of Skype in 2010 is a material market event, this high-profile IPO represents a potentially tectonic development in eBay-Skype's (and FreePress') push for wireless net neutrality/Carterfone regulations and applying the FCC's broadband principles to wireless providers for the first time. There are much broader implications of this market development than many appreciate.
Some brief background information is helpful to understand the broader implications:
So how does eBay-Skype's pending IPO change the landscape?
FreePress Concedes Broadband Is Not A DuopolySubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2009-04-06 16:35
FreePress in petitioning the FCC to apply its Broadband Principles to wireless (because they currently do not apply to wireless) effectively has conceded that broadband is not the duopoly market they have long alleged, but is a competitive marketplace.
Skype's Anti-competitive UneconomicsSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Thu, 2009-04-02 12:59
There are two primary problems with eBay-Skype's attempt to get the Government to force competitive wireless providers to carry Skype's free communications app under the guise of wireless net neutrality and Internet openness; first, it is wildly uneconomic, and second, it is anti-competitive.
I. Skype's .2% Uneconomics
What is uneconomics? Just what the term implies, not economic, unsustainable... arbitrage.
Is Some Internet Competition Devolving?Submitted by Scott Cleland on Thu, 2009-03-12 13:57
"eBay Retreats in Web Retailing," the WSJ top story today, suggests some Internet competition may be devolving.
What does it mean that eBay has decided to retreat from competing in web retailing against Amazon and other online retailers of new goods, in order to focus on:
First, it is a stark reminder of the Internet's unbeatable network effects where the strong tend to get stronger and the weak tend to get weaker.
An Internet Economy or "Ecommony?" Growing pushback against "Information wants to be free"Submitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2009-02-25 19:13
The recession has created new urgency for multiple content industries to find a better way to protect and monetize their property/content in the digital world. The dotcom bubble ethos that "information wants to be free" is like a gross mold destroying the incentives to create and distribute valuable content digitally. (Be sure not to miss the shocking analysis at the end of this post comparing revenue generation per user in the digital "ecommony" versus the real economy.)
The first point of this post is to connect-the-dots why several content industries are currently in the news actively pushing back against the "ecommony" anti-business model, where content owners are expected to effectively give away their valuable content to the open Internet/digital commons without the requirement of permission or payment.
The first broad and serious counter-movement by business may be in the offing to ensure that valuable content is indeed paid for when distributed digitally. Serious financial and business risk is driving creative thinking about how to better protect and monetize valuable content digitally.
Of course the FCC will deny the Skype-Carterfone petition for open access regulation of wirelessSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2008-04-02 10:39
It was very welcome, but not surprising news, that FCC Chairman Martin and a majority of the FCC plan to deny eBay-Skype's petition to apply 1960's "Carterfone" monopoly regulations on today's wireless competitors.
This was not a close call. Carterfone regulations were appropriate forty years ago with a monopoly and no competition. However, dusting off ancient regulations for a bygone monopoly era have no business or relevance today.
The facts are that Americans enjoy more wireless competition than most any country in the world, enjoy the lowest or near lowest wireless prices in the world, and use about four times more wireless minutes than our european counterparts, because of the dramatically lower prices -- all per the American Consumer Institute.
The Skype petition is an excellent evidence that the net neutrality movement does not believe in competition policy or a free market Internet, but believe in a government managed Internet.

The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization weighted index of 500 of the largest exchange-traded stocks in the U.S. from a broad range of Industries whose collective performance mirrors the overall stock market. Capitalization weighting results in the larger components (stocks) carrying a larger percentage weighting. The Equal Weighted S&P 500 consists of the same stocks but equally weighted and consequently may provide insight into the breadth/disparity of market performance. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
There are some risks associated with investing in the stock markets: 1) Systematic risk - also known as market risk, this is the potential for the entire market to decline 2) Unsystematic risk - the risk that any one stock may go down in value, independent of the stock market as a whole.

A recession is a significant decline in activity across the economy, lasting longer than a few months. It is visible in industrial production, employment, real income and wholesale-retail trade. The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP) although the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not necessarily need to see this occur to call a recession.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, though GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis. It includes all of private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined territory.

Houston Business Journal
For banks looking at making a stock market splash, the thinking is "Go big or go home." And Houston-based Allegiance Bank is taking that advice to heart. The $1.2 billion bank, which is mulling an IPO, completed its second acquisition in less than a year on July 28, buying Farmers & Merchants Bancshares Inc. and its subsidiary, Enterprise Bank, for an undisclosed amount. Dan Bass, managing director for Performance Trust Capital Partners, which represented F&M on the deal, said demand on Wall Street for Texas banking has been growing.

Pride Interfaith Service
Mother Theresa once said, "Loneliness and being unwanted are the worst form of poverty" --
Most of us here today are striving in our own faith communities to be places that eraticate the povery of loneliness and being unwanted. Unless we are places of full acceptance and radical love, we will become archaic. We will become empty of meaning and purpose in our faith communtiies. We will become useless. We who believe in a loving and fully accepting God have few choices: we must be imitators of that God in our love and our acceptance of all people, no matter who they are. We must embody that God in our own lives and in the lives of our communties. And only then, will this God of love and accpetance be present in our midst. And in that holy moment of relaization, loneliness and shunning and discrimination and hatred and anger will finally, once and for all, be banished from us.

UPDATE: The Volusia County Sheriff's Office has released the name of the man found on Deltona Boulevard this morning. He has been identified as 33-year-old Long Chau Nguyen of Sanford.
Deltona, FL - Traffic detectives are trying to figure out the details behind a fatal motorcycle accident on Deltona Boulevard overnight.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office says the initial report came in just after 6 a.m. today (April 17th), but the accident itself likely happened sometime around midnight.
It appears the motorcyclist ran off the right side of the road at a left curve near the Enterprise Road intersection, hitting a small row of trees and a power pole, according to VCSO spokesperson Andrew Gant.
"The rider was pronounced dead at the scene and it appeared he had been there for several hours," Gant added.
VCSO has yet to identify him, saying they need to confirm his identity and notify his next of kin.
Deltona Boulevard was shut down to traffic for much of the morning as detectives processed the scene for evidence.
No other details have been released at this point by VCSO.

Showtime Renewing 'Californication'
Showtime is picking up a third season of Californication. The David Duchovny-led comedy series will return to Showtime with 12 episodes in late 2009.
"It wouldn't be Showtime without a yearly dose of Californication. This unapologetic show, about a group of characters led by the inimitable David Duchovny, has quickly established itself as one of our signature comedy series," said Showtime entertainment president Robert Greenblatt, announcing the pickup. "Beneath its veneer of debauchery, however, is a complex take on love and adult relationships that surprisingly turns poetic and romantic just when you least expect it. "
Californication picked up a Golden Globe nomination earlier this year for best musical or comedy television series, and won an Emmy for outstanding cinematography.

BILL CRAWFORD: Leadership crumbling along with highways and bridges
"Somebody's going to be killed," Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall stressed to the Clarion-Ledger, pointing to a study that shows Mississippi has 2,275 structurally deficient bridges. "That's what's going to happen." The huge tax cut wind howling out of the State Capitol just flicked his spittle back at him. » READ MORE — MDOT commissioner: National group gets it ...Read More »

Judge's Report
It goes without saying that every judge approaches their task differently and, inevitably, each judges entries from their own perspective, and according to their own tastes. So another judge might have come up with an entirely different list of winners to those I have chosen. Entrants should, therefore, take comfort from the fact that in another 'court' the verdict might have been entirely otherwise. Never lose heart – just keep plowing onward.
The writing standard, on the whole, was high, though some entrants were somewhat slack in their presentation and grammar. It is possible English is not their first language, and if that is the case, they have done admirably. I then apologise for 'nit-picking.'
The topic allowed the writers an opportunity to let their imaginations take wing. I am not sure whether some of the articles were genuine crits of places which, if they do exist, clearly should long ago have locked their front doors, while their owners retired to lick their wounded egos and hopefully learn from their misdemeanors!
I would imagine, though, that in many cases writer's license was freely exercised. This genre opens a real Pandora's Box of wicked and fun possibilities. Many of the competition entrants seem to have availed themselves of an opportunity to be creative, and spit venom happily; someone using a sharp turn of phrase can never be accused of being dull.
'The Little Red Dot' is a straight-forward critique, beautifully written, and bound to beckon anyone who reads it to sample the delights of Singapore at the first opportunity. By the same context, 'Cheap Thrill Chills' and 'An Icy Breath in the Empire of the Dead' can either lure or deter any would-be visitor to unusual attractions. While some might shudder in horror and keep their money in their wallet, others will be happy to fork out and revel in the consequences.
I feel every writer approached their task from a slightly different angle, and there were some delightful twists in their various tales. Some had certainly applied their minds.
That said, my choice of winners…
First: 'Hells Bells! An unholy adventure': for its sheer cleverness. The writer's approach – a critique about the shortcomings of Hell, expressed by a human soul dispatched there for a short sojourn is delightful. The juxtaposition of God's response, pointing out the lessons to be learned, makes this piece both amusing and clever. (I would love to meet this writer!)
Second: 'The Little Red Dot': for painting a vivid portrait of Singapore's tourist attractions. Good descriptive writing is always a drawcard.
Third: 'Trouble in Paradise': for a different take on how one can be affected when nature runs amuck. The writer is exploring how it played on her psyche elevated this piece.
Commended: "Review of Fox and Hound Inn': I toyed with putting this in third place. It seemed a standard review, but the final paragraph elevated it into a very unusual take on the subject. Sadly, the grammatical errors which dot the article weighed against it.

Procter & Gamble (P&G) Pharmaceuticals and ARYx Therapeutics, a private drug discovery and development company, have announced a strategic alliance under which P&G will develop and commercialize ARYx's drug ATI-7505 for the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and gastroparesis.
ATI-7505 is an oral, serotonin Type 4 (5HT4) agonist that is in Phase II development. The drug has been shown to have prokinetic properties -- it increases upper GI motility, which is believed to play a beneficial role in GI symptom reduction. Based on its mechanism of action, initial studies show that the drug prevents the regurgitation of stomach contents into the esophagus and accelerates the emptying of the stomach. This action may help relieve the symptoms of conditions where motility of the GI tract is a problem. A prior 5HT4 agonist, Propulsid (cisapride), achieved nearly $1 billion in global sales, but was withdrawn from the market in 2000 due to side effects.

I am curious to hear two things from the karezza couple here with child/children.
How much affection you show to your spouse in front of your child/children? Being in the love mood all the time do you hug, kiss and cuddle in front of them? We personally do that (of course gently) in front of our kids. We deem that demonstration of non sexual affection makes them feel secured and cared knowing their parents are still in love so much. Experts favour this view. i.e
Secondly, I am curious to know how you manage your karezza practice with kids around since now you are engaged in more frequent and lengthy lovemaking? Are they aware of your practice at all? Do you feel worried what they are thinking about?
I am looking for some feedback from the couples. Thank you.

Seems like there is not much
Seems like there is not much karezza couples with child/children. I view that karezza is much more fitting to the married couples with children since karezza practitioners are to be in a long term relationships.
If my queries seem sensitive to anyone, I am really sorry for that.
Kids and Karezza
All I can say is when we had kids at home sex of any sort was well nigh impossible most of the time and when it was possible it had to be fitted into whatever time slot was available which was usually late evening when vigorous action followed by an explosive orgasm was a welcome way of ending the day and spiralling into a deep, restorative sleep.
Had I had any thought of trying Karezza then I would have given up on the grounds of there being far too little available time to make it worthwhile.
This is all based on my memory of those days of having a full house and little time or privacy. Maybe I am exaggerating but, seriously, nowadays my wife and I can do things together that would have been impossible then; and watching my kids with their kids now, I can't see how they have any time for a sex life at all, never mind one requiring extended periods of exclusive access to each other.
Non sexual kissing and cuddling is a different matter, of course. This can be fitted into even the busiest day, as it requires very little time, and, as you suggest, it must be very reassuring for children to see their parents being affectionate towards each other. We certainly did this, though probably not as much as we do now, simply because there are fewer demands on our attention these days.
Thank you for the response.
Thank you for the response.
You truly reminded me the old days of ours. We have been in karezza for about 4 years now and before that our lovemaking were an almost weekly affairs. The main reason wasn't that we didn't have the time. What I remember we used be tired and disinterested. I am not saying we have lots of time now but we do have the time on our own at bed time. Now we make love before sleep, go to sleep being connected and again make love after waking up everyday. I now experience the ebullience and intense attraction to my wife. But yes, at day time it's difficult to find enough time to engage into karezza. But whenever we get, we don't mind to have a short karezza session.
We didn't demonstrate much affection to each other before practicing karezza. But now things changed so much. I think things changed for good. We do kiss and hug each other uncountable times a day. And we show affection to our kids too. I think it's nice to be expressive inside family.
What I've noticed is that
practicing karezza seems to put you "in the flow," so that more things fit into the day without intense struggle. Not sure how that works. Maybe as intimacy becomes more appealing on a deep level, you see more opportunities for it. But honestly, it seems to extend beyond that.
Rudolph Von Urban in Sex Perfection, page 145
"I assured him that his work need not suffer, because a happy home life and a healthy sex life create such coordinated energy in a person, man or woman, that one is able to do a better day's work in less time. "
Everyone's different
I remember being tired but not disinterested! It was more a question of frustration. On reflection, part of our problem wasn't so much time as timing. Now we have - relatively speaking - all the time in the world, it's become crystal clear neither I nor my wife would chose to make love in the evening, before sleeping. A cuddle, yes; but intercourse, no. As for early morning - forget it; our minds are somewhere else, entirely. Our favourite time for lovemaking is late afternoon, or mid morning. Neither of these was remotely possible when we had kids in the house and multiple demands on our time. Even nowadays, we have to structure our days to enable this to happen.
So I don't think the evening and morning connecting you describe would have worked for us. It is great that it does for you, because these are the two times of day when you can almost guarantee not being disturbed. Of course, at the time, we did make love then, but it was out of necessity rather than choice, and I think part of the reason for its relative brevity (which was the main motivation for my interest in Karezza) were the twin siren calls of sleep and the encroaching day.
Yes, everyone is different
We find before sleep and after sleep are best time for lovemaking. Yes, no disturbance is almost guaranteed. And it's the best way to start and end our days. Actually our favorite for lovemaking is the time before bed. Kid's are in the sleep and only me and my wife. :D We really love the weekend nights. We make love for hours usually that time. Last night I think we were awake for more than hours for sure. In the weekend if the kids are napping we do make love in the afternoon too. Today kids were napping. We closed the door and get just connected and went to nap too. We were sleepy. Feeling great after such a nice napping with my beloved. We had short karezza lovemaking in the late afternoon randomly. But the level of intimacy never get that deeper like night since we can't fully relax with some hesitance and alertness in the back of our mind. Usually me and my wife embrace and caress each other and sit for smooching for few minutes in the late afternoon. That's really feel very refreshing after all the stress the in the office and home for us. It enough to re-sense the closeness between us after being apart for more than 9 hours.
I think it was parenting author Jim Fay who suggested that young children should be required to take naps and go to bed earlier than you do. They don't have to go to sleep, but they have to be quiet and not bother you. The reason is not because the children need the rest, but because YOU do!
Regardless of whether the kids take naps, you should be able to take naps yourself. You can explain to the kids that you don't want to be disturbed while taking a nap, except for life-threatening emergencies. The naps could become more frequent, and sometimes one parent might follow the other and join them in a nap.
If the kids are a bit older and you can trust them to not get in trouble as soon as you stop watching them, your bedroom door could start closing, and you could instruct them to knock and wait for you to invite them in before they open the door. That's a bit of common courtesy they need to learn anyway.
My wife hasn't been interested in daytime cuddling, especially during the times when we had kids in the house, so I haven't tried out those suggestions myself. But I remember I had to take an hour-long nap every afternoon until I was about 4 or 5 years old, and bedtime was 7:30PM until I was about 9 years old.
Thanks for the suggestion. We
Thanks for the suggestion. We do close the door during our intimate time. We didn't told them not to disturb us unless very emergency but they are learning that parents do need time on their own. So, bit interruptions are there sometimes if we engaged into karezza at day time. But things are getting better and they are learning to give us more privacy. And moreover, we know we have the time for us at bed time. I think sitting for the dinner early is important to have your family go for bed early. And we try to do that.
Will Your Children Even Notice?
My grandpa told my girlfriend and me recently that after we had kids we would need to use Vaseline when we had sex. My girlfriend was curious and asked, "If we don't need it now, why would we need to use Vaseline after we have a baby?"
He said, "You put it on the doorknob to keep the kids out of the bedroom." My girlfriend groaned and my grandma said not to laugh or he'll tell another one.
I think locks on the door probably work better. My parents' bedroom door has a lock on it, I am sure it was used. Even though we were taught respect of privacy from an early age I doubt my parents were taking any chances with being surprised.
Instead of naps in the afternoon my parents took a different approach, the three of us were in every sports program they could find. We had a swimming pool, we ran a cross country course though the local park, and took a mixed martial arts class. They decided three boys behaved better and slept better if they were exhausted. As a third generation American we still eat dinner Italian style at 8 p.m., even as a kid I never thought that was particularly late. When we went to bed we were out cold. I am certain my parents had plenty of time for whatever they wanted to do.
The point of that is just a different approach from CuriousFellow's, but I doubt he had three fairly destructive boys in the house. If he did he would never have said "older and you can trust them to not get in trouble"—my mom still doesn't trust us not to get into trouble and we're adults.
I am not sure how much young children really pay attention to their parents' public displays of affection as long as they are subtle. If there was yelling and fighting that they would notice. Kids are pretty self centered little creatures and they are mostly concerned with what is in it for them. Once you hit puberty and understand sex, actually I may still not understand sex, the thought of your parents doing it just seems a little gross. My girlfriend's Freudian comments of the son challenging the father because of his attraction to his mother aside, thinking about your parents and any kind of sex seems a little creepy. Someone awhile back wrote about giving their kids, early twenties, Marnia's book. Their children seemed somewhat uncomfortable discussing Karezza—but I am sure they read it privately.
It would be interesting for parents with preteen and teen children to see how they react when the parents ratchet up the PDA's a little. Mostly I think they would be uncomfortable.
We don't want to take the risk
No, we don't take the risk of keeping door unlocked and rely solely on them. Though we have also taught them the respect of privacy but we think it's the best to take precaution by ourselves. I do think their attitude to PDA will depend on various aspects like how the kids are raised by parents, how is their relation with kids and how far the parents go with their affection etc... Though me and my wife didn't use to demonstrate that much intimacy that we show now but we used to do that a bit. I and my wife were both virgins and each other's first love. We always had the great deal of love and intimacy among us. Karezza intensified it much more and learned us how to stay in the mood to express love all the time. More ever, we have very friendly relationship with our kids. They love our company and we do of course. And we express our affection to them too. Everyday when I go out for office with my kids to drop them in their schools, my wife kiss them in their foreheads and checks. She bids me good bye too with couple of kisses in my lips too. They are used to it and they call it "mommy-daddy kiss". We cuddle with them in the evening while watching TV and my wife and I share gentle kisses too during. Its all about showing intimacy and love, nothing sexual. I think they actually like it and feel the sense of security and caring through it. But, nudity and sex is a different thing and we always do it inside our room with our door locked. Yes, seeing and thinking of parents making love seems gross to them and we don't want to make them gross out with any intention.

The reporting process piloted in many schools last year will now be the official process for all elementary schools in School District No. 83 (North Okanagan-Shuswap).
Last year, after substantial work by the reporting and assessment committee, the district piloted a new report card template (sample above) and student-parent-teacher goal-setting conference formal reporting process.
At the board meeting on Tuesday, while recommending this process become the official process for the school district, Assistant Superintendent Carl Cooper reported to Official Trustee Mike McKay that during the pilot project the majority of teachers at 12 schools used the new report card template and the conference format.
Surveys of both parents and staff were then completed to get feedback on the report card template and conference format (which includes early dismissal). "Over 80 per cent of the feedback was positive," noted Cooper.
Cooper added that the recommended process and language used is consistent with Ministry Student Reporting Policies and similar to reporting pilots happening in other areas of the province this coming year.
"A lot of hard work has gone into this," commented McKay when approving the new process. "I'm really encouraged by the results, when something new garners in excess of 80 per cent approval in its first year that is pretty good. I anticipate with the fine tuning that has happened this will be even higher, so I am happy to accept the recommendation and approve this as our approved method of student reporting."
"Thanks to you for all your work and well done to the committee and all those who contributed."
Cooper's complete report, including survey results, a sample of the report card and work by the learning assessment committee, can be viewed here: Reporting Process

Deep in wine and tender-fruit country in Niagara, father and daughter Ernie and Linda Grimo are growing another kind of crop. Grimo's Nut Nursery produces a huge variety of nuts, popular, obscure, native, and exotic. For more than 40 years the Grimo family has been raising nut seedlings for sale and in the process they have developed into their own research station, continuously testing new varieties, pushing the boundaries of what can be grown in Ontario, and selecting the hardiest, most productive trees.
Heartnut Shells: The heartnut tree is Grimo's claim to fame. Though originally from Japan, where they developed as a variety of Japanese Walnut, these trees thrive in North America. When a heartnut is tapped sharply with a hammer the shell falls open, revealing a delicious nut and leaving two perfect, heart-shaped shells.
Heartnut Catkins: The nuts are not the trees' only unique feature: pictured here are their unusually long, drooping catkins. The trees are pollinated by the wind rather than insects so this shape helps their pollen to disperse widely - sorry allergy sufferers!
A grafted heartnut tree: grafting is an important technique for nut (and fruit) growers and it can be used to increase the hardiness and cold-tolerance of delicate varieties. The location of the graft is obvious here, as the rootstock and the scion are from different families. On other grafts of more similar species, the transition from one tree to another can be almost entirely seamless and invisible even to the trained eye.
A hickory bud: we visited Grimo just as their orchards were exploding into bloom and leaf.
A baby ginkgo tree. The ginkgo is considered to be a living fossil, dating back 270 million years.
A budding pawpaw tree. This unique fruiting tree is native to Southern Ontario, producing a large fruit sometimes called a prairie banana due to its similar flavour and texture. For those who are looking to buy more local but can't give up their daily banana, this is an easy replacement. Here are some recipes from Kentucky State University's Pawpaw Research Project.
The only downside for those interested in growing your own pawpaw tree is that the buds have a very, uhm, unique aroma. They are known as carrion flowers, because rather than having a sweet smell that attracts bees for pollination, they emit a rotting smell that attracts scavanging flies. But don't let that stop you -- contrary to what we had learned about the pawpaw before we went, the smell wasn't strong. We had to literally stick our noses into the flowers to get a whiff.
The resourcefulness of Greenbelt farmers. Don't toss those milk crates or even your "vintage" car in the landfill -- reuse them to start your seedlings! They also add colour and interest to the property.
An Oasis: This deep pond helps keep the groundwater on the farm stable which is important since the Grimos maintain a "no watering" policy for all of their older trees. Younger seedlings receive drip irrigation but forcing adult trees to rely on rainfall helps to select for drought tolerance, a valuable trait in any commercial tree. This pond also forms a mini wildlife sanctuary, providing habitat for animals like the beautiful but hard-to-photograph redwing blackbird who perched on these bullrushes, keeping an eye on us visitors.
Chestnut: This spiky shell was a remnant from the fall's chestnut crop - when we found this we understood earlier warnings that the chestnut orchard is no place for sandals!
Persian walnut bark: This beautiful and character-full tree is native to the Himalayas and this silvery bark (which darkens in summer) is believed to help provide protection against heat damage caused by bright mountain sunshine reflecting off snow.
Planting seedlings: the tractor inches along slowly and workers plunge the tiny seedlings (looking like nothing so much as twigs) into the soil and stamp it carefully down around them. It is hard to believe they will grow into towering nut trees!
Red Walnut: Our visit would not have been complete without sampling some nuts. Delicious.
