We are pleased to share with you the video for 'Primitive', the fourth single from Cal Maro. The visuals for 'Primitive' continue the loose narrative that Brooklyn-based Charlotte native filmmaker John Stallings has constructed with all of the videos he has directed for tracks off of Cal Maro's self-titled record that was released back in April. The focus of the video, the majority of which was shot at the now closed Art Hole Gallery in NoDa, is the captivating finesse and raw talent of Charlotte dancer Brittany McKusick. Stallings had this to say on the concept…
"It's only through multiple listenings of Cal Maro's meticulously crafted debut album that the listener is really able to deconstruct and understand the myriad themes within. The whole album is truly greater than the sum of its parts, so when developing visual narratives for his music, it became clear to both Tyler and I that it was necessary to create a compendium of visualizations that could both represent individual tracks in a unique way while also supporting a singular thematic narrative. The music video for 'Primitive' is another chapter in that ongoing story.
For 'Primitive', I drew upon dark and visually elusive imagery to deliberately reduce sensory distractions for the viewer in an effort to emphasize the distressed emotions of the song's lyrics. In keeping with the dream-like style of Cal Maro's previous music videos, I set about developing a story that could continue that expression. Ultimately, at the heart of 'Primitive', I think there is a pervasive uneasiness; a man pulled apart, detached from control and security, reduced to a state of survival.
With the added brilliance of Brittany McKusick's choreography, the video illustrates a man broken and catatonic, having rationalized a choice, at the whims of a woman, struggling with her own, questionably, malevolent decisions, in a push-pull dance for hegemony. Black and white was used to reinforce the idea of choice, a duality representing the dichotomy of decision that Cal Maro faces, and which ultimately, he asks his listeners to similarly confront."
Cal Maro is playing tonight at Petra's as part of Rippin' Weekend in Plaza Midwood. Check out the full schedule HERE.

text: This was my first time that i choreography. I had learned contemporary dance for a period and street dance for a long time. It's really different for me to present story by dance and just body. However, I did learned a lot from this experience. I learned how to express emotion just by body. I learned how to tell story with our words. Sometimes, it'e even a stronger way.

And The 2009 North American Car and Truck of the Year Finalists Are…
Those of you who follow the auto industry like we do have become somewhat jaded to the sense of drama about these "…Of The Year" awards, in part because they happen every year (I know, right?), and also because many times they're a bit of a snore. The casual observer can see plenty of conflicts of interest in the decision making process for "OTY" awards at a fistful of magazines, and not just automotive ones, either.
That's really too bad, because perhaps one of the better annual awards, the North American Car/Truck of the Year, unveiled annually at the Detroit Show, seems to go largely unnoticed. The jury is comprised of no less than at any one time, who are invited to contribute based upon their breadth of knowledge and length of time covering the auto industry. The funds to cover the Awards come from membership dues only, to avoid outside influence. What I'm trying to say is, if I had to pick one "Of The Year" award each year, the North American Car/Truck Of The Year would get my Car Of The Year Award Of The Year… award.
Anyway, enough about them. The real story here is that we have a very this year, with some clear winners, but also some surprises.
Among the Truck candidates, the Dodge Ram, Ford F-150 and Mercedes-Benz ML320 BlueTEC, the freshly redesigned F-150 looks to have a secure lock on the trophy, given its tremendous advancements in technology and feature content, and its gob-smacking reviews ( from Dan Neil being a good indication). That's not to say the completely redesigned Ram is chopped liver at all, though, and the ML320 carries the first diesel engine to be represented in a NATOTY final vote.
Car Of The Year is a bit less cut-and-dried. The finalists include the Ford Flex, Hyundai Genesis and Volkswagen Jetta TDI. This one is a bit tougher to suss out, although I bet the Genesis will get the nod, being a farther step forward than the Flex and certainly the Jetta Diesel. Although the TDI represents the first diesel to make COTY honors, and the first true 50-state diesel VW's been able to offer, they've had three generations and several years to make the Jetta TDI the hotly desired car that it is today. The Flex, in every possible contrast, is a fresh and dynamic vehicle that just happened to arrive at exactly the wrong time; I wonder what the "Of The Year" awards would have looked like in 2005 had the Flex arrived at dealerships then.
Earlier this December, each judge was presented with a ballot in which they have 25 points to spread around the different contenders, in which a maximum of 10 points can be allotted toward any one vehicle, and the rest go toward others on the list. Jurors must dispense all 25 points on the ballot, though, to encourage a spread of winning votes, which were then sent securely to that most fabulous of tabulators (tabulous of fabulators?), Deloitte & Touche–more specifically, one Michelle Collins, D&T's Vice Chairwoman Automotive.
Feel free to practice your deep-breathing techniques until January 11th, when the winners are unveiled in Detroit.

Threshold by Jordan L. Hawk
Book Type: Audible Book
Length: 7h 19m
Audio Version Only!
I am back again and I had a better time this go around. Still a 1890s gay romance, supernatural horror, lovecraftian story. This time the listening was a lot easier, two days instead of two weeks. I am not sure if I was in a better mood, or maybe Jordan's universe just clicked into place easier this time.
This review won't be as long. This time we see more of Griffon's backstory. Get to meet an important person to him, and learn more about his childhood. Of course the story is still about Whyborne, so don't worry there are plenty of awkward moments and explicit sex.
Once again, the only negative I had was the narrator didn't stay in his lane. This time it wasn't an Irish accent (except, maybe there was a sentence or so when the characters were joking, but quick and pretty painless). This time is was "professional" women. It wasn't as cringeworthy as the Irish accent, but still enough to make me wince.
However, I wanted to note that the narrator does absolutely fine with Christine, so not sure why the difference.
As a follow up to Christine, she proves to be even more of a badass in a couple of moments then initially suspected. Already I would love a few books of her adventures when she goes to digs. I do know there are 6 more books to read that are already out, so maybe I will get my wish.
I definitely recommend this book to everyone.

This has been a highly unusual weekend for both hubby and I. We attended 1/2 a high school football game Friday night to see my great nieces last night as a drum major for North Garland High School. Kayla is the 8th graduate from both he maternal and paternal side of her family. Pretty cool.
The NG band has a great trumpet section and every game starts with the Star Spangled Banner performed by them. It's great.
At halftime all the band seniors and families were recognized.
Kayla having some fun leading (?) Well, she says she doesn't dance so we know That's not what she's doing!
Now getting down to business.
So, after a chilly perfect football weather night I came home and got in my pj's, hit the bed about 10pm........ and woke up at 10am on Saturday morning!!!! I guess I was tired. Saturday night we played Wii Sport and both of us are sore... we are so out of shape.
I didn't get out of my pj's till Sunday morning to go to church.
I got some errands done, watched NASCAR, suffered through some Cowboy football and am pretty much done.
I needed this weekend of rest... so thankful for it. The holidays are knocking at the door and it might be the last opportunity like that for a while.
I did get a call from a friend wanting to have a jewelry party. I'm excited about that. It's in my neighborhood and probably 99% of the women I won't know! Wish me luck.

December 15, 2008-Power Corrupts
Consider This for December 15, 2008-Power Corrupts
Governor Rod Blagojevich of Illinois is in deep doo doo. He is up to his eyeballs in the brown sticky stuff.
And to top that off he actually looks like Mike Meyers from "Wayne's World" and "Saturday Night Live" and the Austin Powers movie series.
The old saying is that "Power Corrupts." Then is always changed to absolute power corrupts absolutely. This saying has been attributed to Winston Churchill and several other great orators.
Today it describes the Governor of the great state of Illinois and his alleged insane desire to gain some personal benefit from being able to be the sole person on this planet to name the replacement for President Elect Barack Obama in the United States Senate.
To understand how this terrible thing happened you must be able to understand the thinking of the men (Yes, men. Women were not allowed to get involved beyond doing what they were told to do by the men.) who wrote our constitution and the federalist papers.
I am sure that there are a few people out there who are prepared to attack what I am about to say but this is the easiest way to understand the dilemma.
Our nation was founded as a Federalist nation. It is today actually fifty different countries who each have their own constitution and their own set of laws. It is hard to believe this considering what we have today but there are only two things our federal government is supposed to do. One is to provide for the national defense. States cannot and should not declare war on other countries. The other thing is to provide for foreign relations. States cannot and should not negotiate with other countries and have treaties with other countries on their own. They must go through the Department of State. Aka: Hillary Clinton.
As a result each state can and does create laws concerning the filling of a vacancy in congress either for United States Senator or United States Representative.
I tell my students that the most real example of states rights and federalism is our traffic laws. Each state makes their own unique traffic laws and if you have ever lived in a state other than Colorado you will know what I mean. And yes, there are cases where the federal government in all their wisdom will step in and tell the states to pass certain traffic laws under threat of withholding federal highway funds. One was the old 55 mile per hour law and a more recent one is the drinking age must be 21 in every state. I could hear the bodies flipping in the ground in Virginia and Maryland as those laws were passed.
So what's a mother to do? The people of Illinois as in every other state are stuck with a system that creates an environment where a governor can ask for patronage for his or her decision to replace an elected official.
This was also apparent as there was speculation that Governor Palin of Alaska might appoint herself to fill the vacancy in the senate seat occupied by the now convicted felon Senator Craig.
I think that the first Mayor Daley and his regime added a lot of fuel to the fire. I knew many Chicago Police Officers during that time and they were no better or worse than even the Denver Police Department who was committing burglaries while working in uniform and using Denver Police cars to haul off their loot.
My point is that no town or city is either better or worse than another when it comes to corruption and crime. Chicago and Illinois just seems to get the bulk of the idiots and the resulting publicity.
The bottom line is the amount of public scrutiny there is on such matters. Public scrutiny by the citizens and especially local media. Newspapers, radio and television are so very important in this process.
If guilty the Governor of Illinois should be hung up by his thumbs at the gate to the city for all to see. Our elected officials are not for sale although they might have been in Chicago at one time.

¿Escriptura femenina? Les canto i les celebro
This article has been written throughout many days and many (or, perhaps, not so many) different readings. It tries (as earnestly as possible) to explore some aspects of what is called (and what it should be?) feminine writings, showing some of their features and problematizing some topics around them. As the question does no allow a straight answer, the article is divided into sections that presents different typologies of feminine writing, and it also includes several notes which can be read simutaneously with the article or after reading the article, as they comment on or elaborate different questions dealt with in the article itself.

Taking Out the Trash with Jesus
Do you have to take out the trash to be a good husband? Maybe not, but I notice that is what a lot of good husbands do.
I have been married 45 years and have never seen any command that husbands have to take out the trash. I see commands to lead your family, love your wife, pour out your life, and raise your children in a Jesus environment.
But take out the trash? I remember nothing like that in the Bible. And what does that mean anyway? Take out all the trash? Do you have to gather it up? What kind of bag does it have to be in? Does it need to be taken out every day? And what is the big deal if I miss a day? Are there any marriage rules for this? Should there be?
This sounds a bit like the way some people talk about their Christian walk. They know the things God asks of us: die to self, follow Jesus, do what he would do, love God, love your neighbor. But the everyday details of following Jesus are not spelled out in detail. Like going to church. Do I have to go to church? How often? How many times can I miss? What if church is not exciting, relevant, or inspiring? After all, the Bible does give many details about church attendance. It does not talk about Sunday nights, Wednesday nights, Bible class, or small groups, does it? Should there not be some rules about church attendance? Or maybe that misses the point.
Here is what I have learned about taking out the trash. It is important. If you do not do it, your house stinks. My wife appreciates it. It is a tangible way to serve her and to demonstrate my love. She asks me to do it, and I love her, so …
Maybe following Jesus is not about how many times I have to go to church. Or what the bare minimum standard of attendance will let me remain in good standing. It could be that what I decide about church is one way to live out dying to self, loving God, and following Jesus.
So the answer is not more rules so we can work the checklist or argue about how the rules should not apply to us. Perhaps I should just find some good husbands and strong Christians and see what they do. I could even ask them why they do what they do.
Stop trying to make rules. Stop worrying about following rules. Stop arguing about rules.
Just love, serve, and follow Jesus. And one way you learn how to do that is by watching strong Christians.
So, do you have to go to church to be a good Christian?
Maybe not, but I have noticed that the good Christians do.
And now I am going to go home and take out the trash.

Today though did not disappoint. We had good views of a number of species including Pied Flycatcher, Long-tailed Tit, Wryneck, Teal, Red-throated Diver, House Martin, Willow Warbler, Tree Pipit and Skylark. An Oystercatcher on the lake was a real patch rarity and there were also Greenshank, Green Sand and Snipe. A very enjoyable morning.
After guiding I headed off for a quick walk around Fornebu and had a lot more species than I expected. A Brent Goose that has been around a couple of days was easy to find with the local Barnacle Geese but I didn't expect to see (or hear) Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Whimbrel and Common Redstart. The Redstart was a male and in exactly the same spot as the female Black Redstart I had a couple of weeks ago - clearly a good start point!
My only raptor of the day was an unusual Common Buzzard over Fornebu and I was very disappointed it wasn't something rarer.
Here are some pictures from today in no particular order. Most are from Fornebu where I had the camera out whereas when guiding in Maridalen photography was not a priority.
|male Blackcap (munk)
|Barnacle Geese (hvitkinngås) with a Brent Goose (ringgås) in the background

...the scrapbooking talent that is out there. I have been cruising others' blogs, and thoroughly enjoying it. It is also quite frustrating.
Because I now have all these ideas running round in my head, and bags of stash that I should use soon before I feel guilty for buying it. However. I am also on my final year of my degree, with stacks of work, and I know that scrapping or crafting of any sort ought to take a back seat for the moment.
What is a girl to do? Any cloning advice? :)

Got Engaged?! What happens next?
So it's actually happened! The question has been popped by your one true love and now you're stood there in the heart of somewhere special, sporting a big fat sparkler on your fourth finger. How exciting!
Hopefully it's been the most magical of occasions for you – perhaps your marriage proposal was made in some far flung holiday destination, in your favourite restaurant, or in somewhere completely whacky, out of this world and unusual. (I prefer the last one, but then, that's just me!)
Whatever wonderful stuff happened, you are now the bride or groom to be and in among all that loved-upness you might be wondering to yourself, ok, what happens next?
At Thomas Towers, not only have we seen one or two totally amazing weddings in the past, but we've also heard some fabulous stories about the engagements that came before. And of course we're always part of the wedding planning process, so here are some of the things we think you should consider for your Leicester wedding.
After you're engaged / before the wedding
One of the most important things you should do when you first get engaged is enjoy the moment and the time that comes after it. Even if you've been living together for a while, now that you're engaged, chances are your relationship will hit a whole new level and change for the better. It's a lovely time to feel all loved up and special – and with Valentine's Day just around the corner, why ever not!
Other things you could consider doing first are the following:
- Tell your parents and siblings, because if they find out via Facebook they're not going to be happy!
- Make sure the ring fits properly, if not have it re-sized.
- Get it insured and valued as soon as possible.
- Have your proposal story ready to tell everyone who asks.
- Have some idea when you'd like the wedding to be.
- Throw a party to celebrate!
- Start daydreaming about the wonderful time ahead!
It's all in the planning
Once your feet have finally returned to the ground and you've eventually stopped marvelling at the thing of beauty now taking pride of place on your hand (or the hand of your loved one), maybe now is the time to start getting some ideas together.
After all, there's no doubting that the best weddings are the most well planned ones, so give some careful consideration to the following:
- Set a budget and timetable for the lead up to your wedding.
- Consider a wedding consultant to help with the planning.
- Put the main parts of your wedding in order of priority (ie, venue/ food/ flowers/ dress etc)
- Choose your wedding party – who will your chief bridesmaid be, for example?
- Start looking at venues, locations and themes (buy magazines for inspiration).
- Get the main players, such as musicians and caterers booked nice and early to ensure you get the best.
- Try out a few wedding caterers who come recommended, perhaps even enjoy the odd taster session or two (definitely one of the perks!)
Contact Thomas Towers today!
If you would like to find out more about what magic we can weave for your Leicester wedding catering, contact Thomas Towers today for a chat.

I've struggled with my weight pretty much my whole life after kids. I've tried every "diet" there is. I've lost weight. I've gained it back. I've taken meds and supplements only to find myself back where I started. 3 weeks ago I started doing some research on a low carb high fat (LCHF) lifestyle, and to be more specific, a ketogenic lifestyle. Not "diet". Lifestyle. As a medical professional I was a naysayer of the Atkins diet years ago. I subscribed to the recommendation of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) to eat low fat, which translated to a high carb diet. I've been reading voraciously for 3 weeks on the medical and athletic implications of a LCHF/ketogenic diet. 3 weeks in. I've lost 8.5 lbs, 1% body fat. It hasn't been easy and my high intensity exercise has been rough as my body transitions to burning my abundant fat stores as energy. I'm hopeful that this is the answer to my struggle to be my healthiest self. I believe.
This review (link below) was recently published on a reputable site (Medscape) and originally published in a reputable journal (British Journal of Sports Medicine).
Key points:
1. LCHF diets perform as well or better than the traditional low fat high carb (LFHC) diets.
2. LCHF diets (not calorie restricted) performed better in many studies than a calorie restricted LFHC diet.
3. LCHF diets make you feel fuller, subsequently you naturally eat less calories.
4. KETOSIS IS NOT DANGEROUS and can be beneficial. It is not the equivalent of ketoacidosis found in type 1 diabetics.
5. There is no evidence that increased intake of saturated fats=increased progression of coronary atherosclerosis or coronary heart disease.
6. For type 2 diabetics, there is increased weight loss and decreased HbA1C showing better control of diabetes.
7. LCHF diet reduces blood triglycerides and increases HDL, both improving cardiovascular (CV) risk factors
8. LDL has been shown to increase in some patients. The clinical relevance of this is unknown given the improvement of many other CV risk factors.
9. LCHF diets can reverse non-alcoholic liver disease and associated atherosclerotic dyslipidemia in patients with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.
There are so many other benefits to eating a low carb, high healthy fat diet…effects on the brain, headaches, seizures, Alzheimers, energy, endurance, mental alertness. Stay tuned as I get further along in this journey. I'm not an expert on the low carb/high fat/ketogenic diet (yet) but I like the data I'm seeing in the sports and medical community and the results I'm seeing in my N=1 experiment….ME!

hi! my name is joy r. lee and i started dimeink in october twenty twelve. i am a writer and graphic designer based in chicago. i also spent about twelve years as a visual stylist for several major retailers.
the facts.
the facts are just a short list of favorites – 3% | bikram yoga (camel pose) | chocolate coconut water | granola | lenny kravitz | lauryn hill | love jones | nikki giovanni | queen sugar | sade | sans serif fonts (lowercase) | the breakfast club | tom ford black orchid
the space.
dimeink isn't interested in who you're expected to be. it is for and about women who create their own rules for beauty and success. the intent of the term dime was initially used to identify a woman as the perfect ten. ink is a reference to making your mark on whatever you're passionate about. whether positive or negative the complexity of a woman cannot be defined in one word based on one experience. the focus is how those jeans, that job, or this decision makes you feel right now.

15 Romantic Dinner Recipes
Roses are red, violets are blue, here's a roundup of romantic recipes for your special someone and you! Okay, I might not be unseating Shakespeare any time soon, but in lieu of battling the crowds for an overpriced restaurant meal on Valentine's Day, I'll wax poetic about the joy of sharing a romantic dinner with someone you love at home instead. Whether that someone is your spouse, your roommate, or your cat, Valentine's Day is a perfect excuse to pour two glasses of wine (or one glass of wine and one glass of milk), tie on your apron, and prepare a special dinner for two.
Every year, instead of going out, Ben cooks me dinner at home, a tradition that he started and I am oh-so-happy to keep. Typically, his culinary prowess stops at pouring the milk over his morning bowl of cereal, but for Valentine's Day, he puts extra effort into making us a romantic dinner. Last year he mastered Balsamic Glazed Salmon, and this year we'll be having Sun Dried Tomato Pasta. Both are simple to make, taste divine, and a reminder that you don't need to spend a fortune or channel Julia Child to enjoy a romantic dinner at home.
This Valentine's, skip the crowds, grab your special someone, and get to cooking one of these date-night approved recipes!
Shrimp Pasta with Creamy Tomato Basil Sauce | Gimme Some Oven
Chicken Pot Pie | She Wears Many Hats
Barley Risotto with Mushrooms and Spinach | Well Plated

Erin, I get the biggest kick out of reading your blog and the stories behind your recipes. I follow many of the recipes (your husband's sun dried pasta is great but I add broccoli and pine nuts to mine)and watched your video of the health bars which I made for my husband and son. Delicious!(Those white cabinets are beautiful!)Your new site is beautifully done and the recipes are so easy to print ( yes, I'm not that tech savy to organize them on my Ipad) thank you for that! I also love the pictures with your new camera:)
I have enjoyed being able to follow your progression from being newly wed to new home owners ( Mazel tov!) Most of all enjoy reading and sharing your recipes with my family and friends. I can relate to someone who shares in my love of cooking. My kids don't however, they share in a love of eating so that counts! After a four month kitchen renovation, my home is the place where my children (who are now adults )still bring their friends and now their families for dinner and holidays. You know, although we have a lovely home in Boca Raton, I've learned…it's truly not the size of your home…it's the amount of love that you can stuff inside:)…
I think it would be fun if we gave you a bit of a "vacation" some time and sent you some of OUR favorite recipes and videos! Maybe your birthday week! I make a mean Chicken Marsala, Lemon Chicken and my health bars are pretty good I'm told! Also a delicious carrot cake (it was Bruce S- yes,THAT Bruce's! favorite birthday cake)
I am the middle of three "girls" (ok, I'm probably old enough to be your mother), have been married 35 wonderful years to my first boyfriend, and I'm a nurse. Unfortunately, I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia which forces me to take more time to myself…hense, a long kitchen renovation with three oven and two sinks. My kitchen is my place of respite and your blog truly starts my day with a smile. Keep up all of your hard work, it is truly enjoyed. Food definately is a way of expressing yourself and of expressing love, but the most wonderful thing is watching how it is received:)..all the best Lisa
That's a great list but with only one chocolate recipe? Will there be a whole list of Valentine desserts? :-)

Sexuality is a topic on which have been already written volumes of books, about which we can discuss through different prisms, so will sexuality in this text processed through some common features.
To even be able to talk about sexuality, it is necessary to define what is sexual intercourse. All we use to mean by sexually is penetration. However, ask yourself what your value system mean by sexual intercourse.
Research shows that 80% of anal sex considered sexual relations, but only 40% of oral sex is placed in a sexual relationship. Given the foregoing, it is clear why many controversies arise when discussing sexuality and it is therefore difficult to provide for unique definition of sexual relations.
Sexuality is made up of all the stimuli, emotions and experiences that leads a person to physical sexual arousal, and thereby contribute to increasing sexual desire and / or behavior. The majority of leading experts from this field agree that it is not only about the instinctive, physiological and physical phenomena.Human sexuality is very complex psychological and sociological phenomenon.
Recently sexuality attracted increasing attention, which are particularly contributed to changes in social norms, the influence of feminism, the rise of sexually transmitted diseases, among which occupied a significant place HIV / AIDS and increase care for reproductive health. Sexual intercourse has long tabooed, is reserved for the intimate area of each individual and we will find it difficult to talk openly about sexual intercourse, and not to mention the specific difficulties that arise during the relationship.Why this is so, we can observe several major influences that we are exposed from the very childhood.
Religion and sexuality
Religion is a big influence on each individual. Religion aims to define the moral rules in a sexual relationship. According to the religious concepts of sexual intercourse is the sole objective of the extension types. Any other form of sexual relationship represents the amoral behavior. So it is understandable why homosexuality, sex during menstruation, contraception and sexual relationships for pleasure as impermissible in the religious sense and in violation of the moral (religious) norms. I personally consider the religious type of lifelong repressed sexuality to be the most destructive kind of self abnegation.
Society and Sexuality
A society in which every individual grows up also determines what is a sexual relationship and what it should be. The Company aims to develop standards, rules and norms. Norms are shared by the people in "normal" and deviant-"abnormal", depending on whether the norms and standards of society or not. Every company is subject to change throughout its history, including the Victorian era, "immoral" woman was identified as one that experienced an orgasm, and today women seeking help for the inability of reaching orgasm. It should be emphasized that the sexual norms of relative and subject to change and vary from society to society. Violation of these norms can lead to different social reactions. What is sexual conformity in a society, the second may be a sexual deviation, the "violator" of norms may experience different destinies in a way that the behavior may be condemned as immoral, such as crime and disease. Sexual behavior and attitudes related to sexual life were strongly shaped by the culture in which we live, and determined the influence of parental education, the influence of peer groups, schools, books, magazines. Sociological studies show significant cross-cultural differences in gender, sexuality and sexual relationships.
Cross-cultural differences
Polygamy in the Islamic world and in ancient time of India is not prohibited, but only for men (a man can have four wives simultaneously, and in practice to decide only the second marriage to men who are financially afford it). With polygamy, the Qur'an mentions temporary marriage for pleasure. Divorce is accepted in some Islamic countries.
After the arrival of Mao Tse-Tung came to power in China comes to big changes – the repression of sexual conduct with the aim of directing all human forces in the "revolution". 1980th The manual was published by the government authorized that to 74 by explaining the essential "sexual knowledge" (eg, recommendations for frequency of sexual relations between young couples).
In China, the government's primary concern is control of population growth, which automatically affects all aspects of relationships and marriages in China.
In ancient Greece the love is seen through the dualistic concept: the spiritual love of agape (the highest form, spiritual, altruistic love), and a natural love of eros (erotic love, the love that comes from physical attraction).
Pre-Christian philosophers and Christian era, taught the values of life are excluded sexuality. With the advent of Christianity, there is the ascetic view of sex and other pleasures.
The Protestant Reformation made the first change in the views, sexual relations not only serve the purpose of reproduction but also for pleasure.
Research shows differences in the frequency of sexual intercourse. Gebhart 1971 states that in Western societies a few times a week (two to five times), while members of the tribe Lapcha five to ten times, but during one night. (sounds good isn't it):)
Days of the New Guinea have sex once every two years.
Different cultures in different ways to perceive and extramarital sexual relations.
Aboriginal extramarital sexual experience as a welcome experience for the husband and wife, because it kills the boredom and routine, and thus increases the mutual ties.
Tribe Marques from Polynesia, certain Eskimo tribes do not have anything against extramarital sex, believe that offering sexual services to guests-chance part of the behavior of a good host.
For some communities extramarital sexual activity are acceptable for men.
Culture has also impact in terms of sexuality of children and premarital sex.
In some vedic hindu religion and most sub cultures,it is allowed sexual intercourse solely (not other aspects of sex) once a month in a presumed fertile day of a woman between a married couple,and after a sacred ritual. Sex is consider sacred solely if for purpose of begetting a religious children, otherwise considered a sin. Sex for pleasure only in Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition is considered illicit, and thus a sin.
A large number of tribes on the islands of the South Pacific, particularly approves child sexuality (eg, one of the children's games is a common masturbation).
Chewa Tribe (Africa), early sexual life among young people consider to be essential for future fertility and he also approved. Lepcha tribe (southeastern part of the Himalayas) believe that the girl should be sexually active earlier (most girls at 11 or 12 years sexually active).
However, the tribes Kwon (New Guinea) forbidden for boys to be caught with an erection, so that boys of this tribe go so far as to learn how to pee without having to touch the hands of the penis.
In Middle Eastern cultures (the majority of the Islamic religion), disclosure of any part of the female body is strictly prohibited. In Malaysia, if it is on TV a man and woman (both clothed) show themselves in a room longer than 3 seconds, it implies that they had sexual intercourse. Showing these scenes is prohibited, except in the case of the married couple.
Laws and sexuality
Do not forget the laws that attempt to answer the question what is normal and what is deviant behavior. Of course, the laws vary among cultures. The laws have two objectives, namely the prohibition and protection; goals are linked: the need to ban most "wrong" behavior in order to protect "weaker" members of society.
Finally we can summarize: the area of human sexuality is extremely complex phenomenon which can not be viewed separately from the culture in which we live and which exist certain rules of conduct. The concept of sexuality is subject to change in so far as changing norms, attitudes and behavior of society. Social impacts on human sexual behavior can be approached on several levels:
Macro-level – the impact of society as a whole, powerful social institutions:
Religion – clear shapes and forms of sexual behavior, setting standards, (eg, attitude toward premarital sex and illegitimate, homosexuality,masturbation, sex for pleasure…etc.)
economic conditions – the nature and structure of the economy affects the human sexuality
family – the socialization processes
Medical – doctors determine what is healthy and good for us
legal system – the law determines the standard (what is required by law only correct) mechanisms of social control.
Subcultural level – social background, class or ethnic group, (unwritten, but not negligible, rules and norms that influence behavior)
Interpersonal level – socialization processes, the relationship with your partner.
Individual level – denied by the personal thoughts and desires, sexual orientation and sexual scripts that we learned.
If we are believers in God,or members of some social community group where sex solely for pleasure is prohibited, should we embrace our sex desires and enjoy with our partner anyway knowing that we are not doing any harm to others or ourselves with it? Or should we artificially repress our sexuality due to the given norms?
To bring this to an end: it remains that sexual energy is the strongest energy we posses in this world. I stand that it should be enjoyed, somehow it should be regulated, we should not suppress it, is not sinful because it is part of our body and mind, and as such can be used or abused like everything else in life.

I don't work with Menzgold- Joyce Blessing
Gospel artiste, Joyce Blessing has cautioned disgruntled clients of gold vault, Menzgold to desist from attacking her since she does not work with the company.
Over the past weeks, customers of Menzgold have attacked her over their loss of money.
According to her, people must understand that Menzgold is a sister company of Zylofon media, where she has been signed on, adding that she has no idea of dealings of Menzgold.
'I don't work at Menzgold, I was signed onto Zylofon. Zylofon deals with music hence I don't know why I will be attacked by some clients of Menzgold. People must understand that I don't work at Menzgold', she said.
She said this in an interview on Accra based Hitz FM on Wednesday.

Menzgold staff ordered to proceed on leave

Menzgold customers appeal to Akufo-Addo to help retrieve locked up funds
The 'I Swerve' hitmaker called on the customers of Menzgold, to stop confronting some of the Zylofon signees who came out to assure them (customers) of a safe haven for their investments during the initial stages of the Menzgold tussle with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
She added that she knows how they feel since she has also saved with Menzgold hence they are not the only victims.
Joyce Blessings therefore advice the customers to have faith, adding that with God on their side, all their monies will be paid.
The gospel musician was at the studio of Hitz FM with macho men after news broke that she had been attacked by some aggrieved Menzgold customers.
Asked on the show if she has tightened her security because she was scared of attacks, Joyce Blessing said "It's good to have security; it's part of the team and I go with them everywhere. Apart from doing the work of God, it's essential to protect yourself."

One must laud Australia for its continuing efforts in the fight against global warming. Being a true stalwart of Mother Nature, the land down under has been championing solar power for a long time now, ranking seventh in the world in the solar industry. With solar quotes at an all-time high, it has become a formidable industry employing a workforce 18,500 strong. What happens then, when the industry has reached its peak? As they say, what goes up must come down, and in this grim scenario, around 3,400 jobs in the said industry are at stake this year as the sector contracts.
Solar Power in Australia
One out of ten houses in Australia has a solar panel installed, but demands have gone down along with installation costs. As expected, there would be consequences in terms of job losses. This is what happens when a certain industry is in a boom for quite some time. It does not take long for a downturn to occur as people find more alternative ways to save up on installation related costs, deeming the industry rather unsustainable in the long run.
Is the Government to Blame?
Unfriendly government policies are, in part, being blamed for this sudden blow on the industry. The decision of state governments to remove solar feed-in tariffs is said to contribute to the industry's worsening situation, leading some to generalise that the government is becoming more and more unsupportive of an industry that it has once championed. In the end, most people see this phenomenon as the unlikely result of politicking, with the solar industry being used by politicians as a pawn for their election campaigns.
Wrong Target Market
With solar quotes reaching its peak now, some argue that it is time to capture several other markets such as low-income households and the like. With the government pushing for its Million Roofs Solar policy, this seems to be the direction it is heading to. Many people argue, however, that this would all be in vain. Even with lower installation costs, a household would still need how many thousands of dollars to successfully install a solar panel system. In addition, most household activities that consume power are mainly concentrated in the evening, when the solar panels have no capabilities to offset energy costs.
Given this scenario, many people argue that factories and other establishments that reach peak energy consumption during day time should be the right target market that this industry should focus on to be able to sustain itself, while some say that there are other industries in more need of government support in the form of subsidies. The debate, in the end, remains the same: Are the costs of supporting sustainable energy enough to offset the long-term effects of environmental damage? It seems to be a no-brainer, but when higher costs passed on to consumers are involved, people tend to look more into the present rather than plan for the future.

We recently won the brief for student advice site NotGoingToUni.co.uk, which specialises in helping young people make informed decisions about their future, with or without university.
The site was founded by now-20 year old Tom Mursell just after he'd finished his A-Levels 2 years ago and has since gone on to become one of the leading portals for advice for British students, covering all aspects of career and education, including free distance degrees through the Open University, apprenticeships, gap years and more.
Seeing as the A-Level results were yesterday, we targeted mainstream broadcast press, to ensure that we reached as many students as possible with the message NotGoingToUni were keen to enforce: that no matter what happened, good or bad, 'don't panic'.
Here's a selection of the coverage we received, with footage from BBC Breakfast and more to come. Just a quick note to blog readers that Tom Mursell was outstanding and is definitely one to watch for the future media-wise!

My name is Ryan Fleming and I started this website. The official launch of BJJCANADA.CA is November 1 2015 and its taken a great amount of effort to put together the connections we've made. I personally want to thank everyone for their support and help. There is so much more to come in 2016 and its an exciting opportunity for me to travel and meet different people in the growing world of BJJ in Canada. I have been training different combat sports for nearly 16 years now; wrestling, pankration, tae kwon do, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, but none have I been so passionate about as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Even though life has taken me away from the sport several times in the 9 years I've been training, I always come back to it. Coming near to my brown belt is a very exciting and rewarding time in my life and to have such a great instructor growing up, Vince Mattei, has been a blessing. I have made some life long friends that I have trained with since the beginning and meet so many new faces. The sport has brought me to travel, train, and compete with some amazing people and I'm grateful for this.

Click here to go back to the main Groups page
If you are interested in Justice and Peace issues, but your Parish does not have a group set up, talk to your Parish Priest and see if he is aware of any other Parishioners that might be interested in setting up a small group. Whether there are or not, arrange an open meeting and invite other Parishioners through a note in the newsletter to come along to form a group. Ask the Parish Priest to highlight it; he may like to join as well.
Think about the issues the group is interested in and focus on those. Be realistic in what you aim to do. You could either choose to focus on campaigning or fund raising for your chosen issues - or a bit of both.
You could arrange for a member of another J&P group to come and give advice on setting up a group. CAFOD have plenty of ideas for campaigns you can be involved in and these are often a good start as Parishioners feel happy about doing things for CAFOD.
Don't be put off if you do get minimal support from the Parish. Each Parish is different so it may be best to see what would best suit your Parish. Doing something is better than doing nothing. You may find that forming an ecumenical group is a better option.

Hello, my name is Sarah, and I am an allergy sufferer.
For me to admit to having allergies is significant. Growing up, I do not remember having problems with allergies. I remember in my early college years, my friends would start complaining about their allergies with the Spring weather, and I would be sympathetic and tell them I don't have trouble with pollen, mold, and/or whatever else floats around in the Spring air.
Then, at the end of college, I began my denial period. I would get a "head cold" at the end of every winter/beginning of spring. I still didn't believe my symptoms were allergy related, and would vehemently deny having allergies. I simply thought that I just happened to get my winter sickness after everyone else. That my malady was a Spring cold. I don't have allergies. I never have had them before, why should that change?
The last few years, however, I have come to accept that I have developed allergies. I suffer from allergies. I have begun to notice a pattern with how I suffer. Last year, I began getting a dry cough that simply would not go away. I would cough and cough intermittently throughout the day, with it becoming annoyingly frequent in the evenings and at bedtime. With it being all in my throat, my voice was affected, and I lost the use of it for what seemed to be several weeks [although in reality it was probably only one or two].
The cough has returned over this past weekend, and I am able to finally admit and realize that it is due to allergens that love to pop up with the beauty of Spring. I have the same dry cough, and am anticipating voice loss soon. I really hope and pray this is not the case, because I very much need my voice in the upcoming weeks. I do NOT need to lose it! I further settled into my role as an allergy sufferer by taking a daily dose of Claritin. I don't know if this will work or not, but I am willing to try anything. Not having had much experience in the area of admitted allergies, I have to start with what I think may work. We shall see [and…by 'we', I guess I mean "I" shall see….haha…such a funny little saying…"we shall see"…]
Anyway, I am now a full-fledge member in the allergy club. I guess it comes with adulthood and growing up and older and all that fun stuff! 🙂
Coughingly Yours,

Investors around the world are often confused by the difference between passive and active investments, which Capital Group CEO Tim Armour believes shows how many are being misled by hedge fund for retirement that are not backing up their promises over performance. Tim Armour points to the wager made by billionaire Warren Buffett that saw the investor make a major $1 million bet on how he could match the performance of any hedge fund with a simple investment in a supposedly passive S&P 500 fund that he believed could outperform a group of hedge fund managers.
The Warren Buffett bet has been highlighted by Tim Armour as he feels the investment industry does not always serve its customers in the best way by using terminology that may not match the modern financial sector; including the terms passive and active that Timothy Armour believes is often used in a way that fails investors looking to develop impressive retirement funds to secure their own future.
The Middleberry College graduate believes the time could well be right to look to make major investments in the financial markets as Tim Armour has seen a major improvement in the state of the stock market he feels have been falling throughout his lifetime.
Armour's Capital Group is estimated to manage more than $1 trillion in assets and has seen a dedicated rise in the markets over the course of the last year as the Capital Group CEO has seen a large level of confidence return with the markets finally bottoming out and starting to rise in terms of overall value.

Fiction: Romance
Does life gives us more pain, suffering, and hard choices than we can handle? Jane Vollbrecht explores this question and more in Second Verse. A freak boating accident leaves Gail Larsen's beloved partner Marissa in a coma and on life support. Because they never put their critical care instructions in writing, Gail is powerless to fulfill Marissa's last wishes. Marissa's parents refuse to acknowledge the nature of the relationship between their daughter and Gail and deny Gail visitation rights. After two years, Gail remains heartbroken, guilt-ridden, angry and lonely, on anti-depressants and in therapy. Marissa, although handicapped from a bout of childhood polio, promised Gail, "Some day, when my legs get better, we're going dancing" (p. 33); that day never came. Gail doubts she will ever stop missing Marissa, but can she ever love again? Will she get to dance through the second verse?
Gail has little faith in her therapist. Every time Dr. Wilburn reminds her that "anger is often fear wearing a mask" and "anger turned inward on your self is usually the cause of depression," Gail cringes. Although cynical, Gail keeps her appointments so she can get refills on her prescriptions. Dr. Wilburn advises her to get back into the world and reconnect with people.
Gail's boss, the managing editor of Outrageous Press, offers her an opportunity to edit an upcoming release for Connie Martin, "the reigning royalty of alternative feminist literature." Gail accepts the assignment as a token gesture toward taking her therapist's advice. She drives to Atlanta to spend time with Connie so they can do a rush job on the editing and get the book into print to coincide with Connie's award from a mainstream literary group.
Gail's first impression of Connie Martin is that she's quirky, conceited, bossy, and annoying. Gail refers to her as a "pit bull personality housed in a Pekingese body," and is convinced Connie "mainlines caffeine." She suspects Connie doesn't allow her picture on the back cover of her books to avoid destroying any illusions her readers might harbor. "Sales would drop by half if her readers knew she's a Betty Crocker look-alike in need of a makeover" rather than the hot sexy characters she writes about. At the end of the project, Gail is ready to be done with Connie in every possible way.
Meanwhile, Gail's childhood friend Penny asks for her help in cleaning out her parents' house in their old hometown of Plainfield, Minnesota. While assisting Penny, Gail confronts her lifelong crush on her "straight" friend and comes to terms with the past. The trip to her hometown puts many issues to rest, but it conjures up new feelings as well.
Just when Gail thinks she's got her dancing feet back under her, Fate blindsides her yet again. Can she accept the challenges that falling in love would require of her? Can she forgive her own previous mistakes and find true happiness a second time around?
Jane Vollbrecht creates genuine characters with inner strength of ordinary people coping with real life issues. Like Gail, each of us is tested when faced with difficult choices. Readers will empathize with Gail's dilemma. Are we wise to trust our first impressions of people?
Marissa's last wish was for Gail to keep dancing. "...there are lots of ways to dance. Come to think of it, she and Marissa had danced in all the ways that really mattered." We all might be well advised to hear the music of life and dance.
Second Verse is Jane Vollbrecht's fifth novel. She was a finalist for Golden Crown Literary Society awards and won a Goldie in the Dramatic Fiction category. She has short stories included in anthologies and works as an editor. She is now part of the management team at Blue Feather Books, Ltd. Visit her website.

On the Hannity show last night, Sean Hannity and Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin ignored the latest developments blowing the GOP scandal to smithereens. Instead, Malkin ratcheted up the hostility by sneering, "All roads lead to Washington D.C. and all fingers, at some point, will lead straight to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue." Then, in a likely attempt to make her far-fetched, baseless dream come true, she urged "whistleblowers" to come forward.
As Media Matters noted about this segment:
On the June 26 edition of his Fox News show, host Sean Hannity attempted to resuscitate the dying right-wing media narrative that the improper IRS targeting of groups was directed by the White House in an effort to punish opponents, by citing an IG audit of the IRS which found that some conservative groups received improper scrutiny when seeking tax-exempt status. Hannity dismissed reports that progressive groups had received similar scrutiny and the IG's investigation had been directed by House Republicans, citing the IG report in an attempt—as he put it—to "correct the record" saying: "If you've been paying attention to this scandal you know that the inspector general report outlined very clearly the distinct ideological imbalance."
A June 25 Hill article answered Hannity's question. The Hill reported that a spokesman for the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, J. Russell George, said they were asked by Issa "to narrowly focus on Tea Party organizations":
…Prior to this report, Issa had leaked incomplete transcripts that were used by right-wing media to suggest that the IRS' use of improper criteria for determining which groups requesting tax-exempt status required additional scrutiny was directed by officials in Washington D.C., and potentially by White House officials. Other transcripts released later debunked this claim.
In other words, this so-called scandal was goosed – if not manufactured outright – by the GOP's own Darrell Issa. It's worth reminding folks that Issa's history includes multiple arrests (including car theft) and allegations of arson by his associates.
But instead of questioning the legitimacy of previous accusations that the White House somehow masterminded the IRS inquiries in order to help its 2012 election chances, Malkin doubled down.
We need continued vigilance and continued voices from the American people, the American taxpayers. Not just people who were persecuted and those who were sympathetic to… these groups. …But also I think anyone with a sense of decency or fairness. And we need to get back to that…
…I know… that there are many rank and file IRS agents, people who've worked in enforcement, people who've worked and put years and years and decades into trying to do a good job. It has to be done by somebody. People who have that sense of fairness that I talked about – who still may be very fearful about blowing the whistle but are this close. And I would urge them to continue to come forward and seek out many of these non-profit legal organizations that are providing protection safe harbors and representation for them to come forward and blow the whistle.
It had everything but the phone number: 1-800-HELPGOP. (H/T reader Rob)

Ive been staring at my bookshelves
CSS PPP Drupal BYOB LOL. – well I have to learn to be a master of the web, and I have no idea where to start. well Ok, I have a degree in Multimedia, but I have forgotten more web than I ever know. – I met a guy in a forum this week, who works in new media and web, and hes already given me loads of pointers. oh I love nerdy friends.

Bobbi Kristina, Nicholas Gordon: Is Whitney's Daughter Dating 'Adopted Brother'?
Since Bobbi Kristina and her kinda-sorta brother Nicholas Gordon were spotted at a Target in Georgia earlier this month, fans have speculated about the nature of their relationship. On Tuesday (March 13), the only daughter of late singer Whitney Houston shed some light on the matter, utilizing Twitter -- tweeting for the first time since Dec. 26, 2011 -- to hint that, yes, she and Nicholas are romantically involved.
Her first in a string of re-tweets was a message from Gordon, a 22-year-old described by HollywoodLife.com as Bobbi Kristina's "unofficial adopted brother."
"I've proved my loyalty to her and the Houston family," Gordon wrote and Bobbi re-tweeted. "I don't owe any of you anything. Ha I don't even know y'all haters."
What follows on Bobbi's Twitter timeline is a series of positive messages from fans.
"@ndgordon & @REALbkBrown do what ya'll do!" wrote Mizz Banks. "Don't let anyone stop ya'll! U were raised well. People hate on a evrydy basis so jus keep movin."
Houston is said to have raised Gordon as a son, though as he pointed out in a Twitter post of his own, he's not BK's blood relative. The implication: A love affair wouldn't be as creepy as it may seem, and in the photo he posted last week, the two look like a fairly normal young couple.
"For the stupid ppl out there she gave birth to 1 child," he tweeted, referring to Whitney. "And she trusted me with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Music: Film Mix /Gangman
Dressed in a sort of Tyrol outfit with props such as a tree, mushroom (large one!) and a basket situated around the ring, the act is really entertaining. Very chirpy jolly music with a good bounce, good interaction between the dog and handler and it was a nice touch when the dog picked up the mushroom put it into the basket but "refused" to give it back to the handler and backed away, all as part of the lovely routine.

The INGV-CMCC has performed a set of climate scenario integrations following the protocol prescribed for the IPCC CMIP3 simulations. The integrations cover the preindustrial period, the XX and XXI centuries with radiative forcings obtained from the SRES (Special Report on Emission Scenarios, IPCC 20001) and the CO2 1%/year increase experiments. In the latter the atmospheric concentration of CO2 is doubled (after about 70 years) and quadrupled (after about 140 years) with respect to the preindustrial value.
All the output of the simulations, which cover about 730 years and consist of 9TB of data, have been stored and available at the web portal of the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) (http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/) and on the INGV-CMCC archive.References

What Truly Matters During The Holiday Season #ourblessingscount
If you listen to the radio this time of year, you are more than likely to hear Andy Williams sing "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year". The question is, do you really feel like it's a wonderful time of year or are you too busy to enjoy the wonders of the holiday season? This is known as an extremely busy time of year for most. There are gifts to shop for, cookies to bake, decorations to put up, and parties to attend. Of course these activities are in addition to the daily routines of life {e.g., work, parenting, school, housekeeping, etc.,}. There's enough hustle and bustle to make the average person feel overwhelmed. In addition to feeling overwhelmed, people often forget what truly matters or what the Christmas spirit is all about. In my opinion, making memories with family and friends is one of the most important activities you can engage in this holiday season.
- Instead of worrying about searching for the perfect gift, buy that person a gift card and spend the extra time watching holiday movies with the kids.
- Instead of worrying about the perfect gift wrapping and bows, use gift bags. This gives you more time to drive around {or walk around} and look at the holiday lights with the family.
In addition to spending time with family and friends, I always find a way to give back to others. No matter how little {or how much} I have, I believe in paying it forward and being a blessing to others. In fact, I'm a fan of Mercy's mantra: "Our greatest blessing is to see others blessed". So how can you bless others? How do I bless others? Here are examples of things I have done in the past two weeks all with the goal of blessing others:
- I donated 3 grocery bags of food to our local food pantry.
- I gave my "regular" Starbucks barista a $20 tip and wished her a Merry Christmas.
- I donated art and craft supplies to a teacher who was lamenting how her her classroom has no supplies.
- I donated dog food to my local animal shelter food pantry {used by pet owners who don't have money to buy their pets food}.
- I volunteered to serve meals at a soup kitchen.
In fact, each month throughout the new year I plan on donating time, goods, or money to causes that need them. It feels so good to pay it forward and bless others. I believe Dr. Seuss said it best:
Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more." From 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas'.
Have you taken the time to count your blessings this year? If not, now is the time. Head on over to ourblessingscount.com, click on a snowflake and read how others feel blessed. You just might find my blessing that I shared. While you're there, share your own blessings. But above all, remind yourself to slow down this holiday season. Enjoy each and every moment. Drink it in. Allow your heart to feel warm and fuzzy. It's okay. It's what the holiday spirit is all about. Want to multiply your blessings? Take the time to bless others…now and always.
Mercy recognizes the stress we put on ourselves and our families over the holidays. They want to remind us that 'Our greatest blessing is to see others blessed.' One way we can do this is to pause, list our blessings, and share them with others. Let's count our blessings together at www.ourblessingscount.com.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mercy. The opinions and text are all mine.

No, I was not fibbing. There are 2 issues here: one is backup/restore and the other is firmware updates. For many years, Aeotec refused to share any information about either. I'm not sure what the current state of getting this information from them is.
We are quite hesitant to do anything that could brick someone else's hardware (if Aeotec's software does it you can always get a replacement from them, but if it was us that bricked it they may not be as willing to replace it). As some of you have seen from Aeotec's own software, bad firmware flashes are a definite possibility. We may revisit this in the future, particularly if their own software seems to get more reliable at doing it.

TithiPosted: February 20th, 2011 | Author: richard | Filed under: design, Uncategorized | No Comments »
Mel sent through this brief but interesting interview with Thai designer Tithi Kutchamuch over on Habitus. Her beautiful jewellery is based around the concept of carrying a part of your home with you. "A Secret Friend Family" (pictured above) has the jewellery integrated with animal objects, whilst the "Vase Garden" is a series of glass vases with "flower" rings. Finally, the "All Year Rings" also caught my attention, being 12 fold out paper rings based on birth month flowers. Each month the owner assembles a new piece of jewellery for the whole year.

Many parents complain about sore bodies in the morning after having to share their bed with one, or sometimes more than one little person at night. Children have the ability, however small, to take over the whole bed – having both parents hanging to the side of the bed just to stay on. The most common strategy to conquer the bed is the horizontal approach to occupation. No wonder we are in pain when the sun finally rises.
Family beds are not new. In some cultures it has been done for thousands of years. I agree, it does enhance bonding and give children an extreme sense of safety and security. Problems arise when you are not able to be there physically to play the role of the human pacifier. Sharing a bed with your child also deprives you and your partner of much needed privacy and worst of all (personally) is the fact that you might be sharing a bed when your newly potty trained girl have a little accident…
Why do we do this to ourselves? It is because, the little person knows that at 2 am your resistance is at an all time low. It is much easier to let her just jump into bed with you, than get up and try to get a hysterical child to sleep in her own bed in her own room. The biggest problem is that when you allow it once, they know that if they persevere in their crying, eventually tiredness will win the battle and the bed will be their prize. Worst of all, if one is in, how can you deny entry to the next one? It is just not fair…
What are the possible causes of your child's night time wandering?
- Night Time Fears: Fear of monsters, spiders, etc. drives children every night to a big person's bed. Arming your child with a flashlight, a monster deterring spray bottle or a protecting stuffed animal might do the trick.
- Jealousy: Sometimes jealousy prompts a child to get extra attention at night. A sibling with special needs, or a newborn might make a child feel deprived and being able to snuggle at night will give much needed comfort.
- Fear of Growing Up: Some children are afraid of growing up – being small enough to share their parents' bed reassures them that they will not lose affection and protection.
Some tips to keep your child in their own bed:
- Make your child's room look inviting. Decorate it age appropriately – is she into Barbie or Pooh Bear? If it looks nice, she will want to spend time there. The more time she spends there, the more comfortable she will feel in that environment – even at night time.
- The size of the bed might play a role. Going directly from a crib to a single bed might be scary for a little one. Putting up a guard rail might make her feel safer. Another option is to use a toddler bed as a transition bed. Toddler beds usually come in fun shapes and that can add to the attractiveness of the room.
- A special bedtime routine provides precious time that you and your child spend together giving her the much needed sense of security and bonding with you. A bedtime routine that is followed every day gives your child a feeling that things are predictable and safe.
- Many children get up at night to go to the bathroom. Make sure your little one goes to the toilet just before bed time. If she does get up at night to come to your bed, redirect her to the bathroom, which she might need and make sure she goes to her own bed after that.
- Do not lie down. If you lie down with her until she is asleep, she will assume that you are there for the duration of her sleep. Waking up and finding herself alone, will cause anxiety and tears.
- Establish the rule of sleeping in your own bed. If it is a rule, everyone has to adhere to it, even mommy and daddy. Mommies are not allowed to become weak when there is crying and whining. (This is for me the difficult part). If she comes to your bed, she has to walk back immediately. Important though: No child should feel it is a punishment to go to bed.
- A mattress next to the bed, might help to reduce tears. She is allowed to sleep in your room, but not in your bed. It is usually not as comfortable to sleep on the mattress and she might make the decision to move back to her bed on her own.
- 15 Minutes snuggle time before bed reassures your child that she is safe and loved. Reassure her that you are near at all times whilst she is sleeping, this helps her to know she is safe.
- Reinforce the fact that sleeping in your own bed is a sign of maturity. "If you were not such a big girl, we would not think that you can sleep in this bed all by yourself."
- Be patient! Rome was not built in one day – the fact that your child is looking for you at night, means that you are loved and they feel loved by you!
Rest assured, your teenage girl or boy will not want to share their parents' bed. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
