Reagan Tribute - The Washington Times
Ronald Reagan's faith
The Washington Times
Ronald Reagan spoke eloquently in many ways. But the Great Communicator may be best remembered for his words of faith and the cultural changes that followed them. Faith was the wellspring of his optimism; it was the guiding star of his presidency. Mr. Reagan's faith was the foundation of all he did, and it remains the cornerstone of his legacy.
Mr. Reagan spoke from faith when he saw dawn beyond America's dark hours, when he saw freedom piercing the Iron Curtain. A committed Christian, Mr. Reagan was convinced that everything happened for a reason and that he had been chosen by God to play a part in America's great mission.
Mr. Reagan's faith was a rugged one: It sprang from the tempering of hard and bitter experience. His father was an alcoholic. His poor eyesight caused him to miss out on the greatest event of many of his generation - World War II. He was a good actor, but never a great one, and his divorce from Jane Wyman stunned him so greatly that he later said his life did not become whole again until he married Nancy Davis. His years of presidential triumph came only after he was within heartbeats of losing his life to an assassin's bullet.
That faith was a part of all his words. In his "Time for Choosing" speech, Mr. Reagan declared, "We will preserve for our children this, the last best home of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." In his first inaugural address, he said, "I'm told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day, and I'm deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended us to be free."
His works reflected his faith as well. He spoke against abortion and for prayer in schools. He transformed cultural conservatism's frown at vice into a smile at virtue. Mr. Reagan returned unapologetic patriotism to the national discourse; he restored personal freedom and responsibility as the touchstones of the national philosophy. While he saw moral courage as an essential weapon of free men, he made sure that the Cold Warriors were well-armed and well-equipped.
Mr. Reagan once remarked, "When the Lord calls me home, whenever that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future." Now, even his passing has become an expression of his faith. After years of darkness, Mr. Reagan has made his last journey to the shining city.

Prince Rogers Nelson (born June 7, 1958), known from 1993 to 2000 as an unpronounceable symbol (or informally, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, Tafkap, or simply The Artist), is a popular American musician. He had 1984's biggest hit song in the US with "When Doves Cry" and is best known for his album and movie "Purple Rain". During the 1980s Prince was comparable with the "mega-superstars" of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston & Madonna in terms of star power and sales. However, his popularity has waned since the mid 90s. None could match the formidable breadth of his talents, which included not just singing and dancing but also composing, producing, and playing instruments (not to mention directing videos and movies). In fact, Prince played nearly all the instruments on his first five albums, and has produced himself since ...Več

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 22, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advocat Inc. (Nasdaq:AVCA) today announced that it has engaged Raymond James & Associates, Inc. to assist the company, with emphasis on identifying potential acquisition opportunities.
William R. Council, III, Chief Executive Officer of Advocat, stated, "We have selected Raymond James to assist the company on a variety of fronts, with particular emphasis on exploring strategic growth and acquisition opportunities. We have not expanded our business with acquisitions since the purchase of seven Texas nursing home facilities in 2007. Since that transaction, we have strengthened operations and financials and are in a position to accelerate growth through selective acquisitions. Since a significant number of skilled nursing facilities are operated by small private companies, we believe that there should be an opportunity to engage in acquisitions of these entities, allowing owners of select properties to monetize their investments. Since most states require a certificate of need to open a new nursing home facility, we believe that the primary opportunity to grow our company in a significant way is through such acquisitions. The healthcare investment banking group of Raymond James & Associates is one of the best, largest and most successful healthcare-focused advisory service practices in the United States."
Advocat provides long-term care services to patients in 46 skilled nursing centers, primarily in the Southeast and Southwest. For additional information about the Company, visit Advocat's web site: www.advocatinc.com .

5 Great Spots To Get Coffee While Waiting For Your Los Angeles Lasik Surgeon
Is often heralded as the best place to get a cup of joe in L.A. Within a stone's throw of some of L.A.'s best Lasik surgeons, King's Road is both a coffeehouse and a small café with excellent pastries and light lunch items. They roast their own coffee, so you'll have the freshest cup of coffee in town while you await your Lasik appointment in one of West Hollywood's upscale medical offices.
2. Euro Caffe
Is a little bit of Italy in Beverly Hills, offering espresso drinks the European way, hot and thick in tiny ceramic cups. If your eye surgeon is in Beverly Hills, the office staff may get their own coffee at Euro Caffe – whether you get coffee to go before your surgeon's appointment or visit the café for a latte and a freshly grilled panini afterward, you're guaranteed an authentic European experience. Just watch out during World Cup season, as this place is a magnet for rabid Italian soccer fans.
3. Caffe Luxxe
Is an upscale Santa Monica coffee bar that makes amazing, fresh-roasted, old-school espresso drinks in the classic European fashion. The extensively trained baristas make the best cappuccinos in town, eight ounces with a perfect topping of creamy foam. Santa Monica is loaded with medical clinics, and if your Los Angeles lasik surgeon is nearby, stop into Caffe Luxxe for coffee before your appointment, and you won't mind the wait.
4. Café Balcony, in West L.A.
Is a great late afternoon hangout which really only gets hopping after dark. Near a number of medical offices, you'll find yourself sipping your coffee surrounded by other Lasik patients, along with folks going to or from their acupuncturirists, dermatologists and hair stylists – plus students from the local college and writer typing away at their laptops. Get a fresh-pressed pot of Kona for an amazing cup of coffee, and you'll be wide-eyed for your laser surgery.
5. Swork Coffee
Is the epitome of the modern coffeehouse, with Internet access, a friendly staff and a "children's area" for kids. Located in the Eagle Rock section of Los Angeles, it's perfect if you have an appointment with an eye doctor in Glendale, or if you just want to relax and surf the 'net after your visit with the surgeon.

It's hard to think about, but it must be done. What will happen to my sun conure if something were to happen to me? It has worried me as I have seen what could happen, so over time I have made some plans for my sun conure.
I don't want Goldie placed in a merry-go-round of rehoming and placed with anyone that has never had a bird before. Neither do I want her to go to a rescue organization though many are very good. I have seen how crowded they are these days and the prospect of her getting little attention that she is so used to makes me sad.
This is why Goldie has a savings account. A small monthly amount is saved every month specifically for her. This money could be used to help pay for a major vet bill emergency or used to take care of Goldie in the event something were to happen to her owner.
Goldie's website, myconure.com, was started to share pictures of her but as become almost a guidebook on how to take care of Goldie. Written instructions on how to care for your bird are a good idea so that someone knows what your bird likes and does not like. Goldie's owner has written down instructions on what is to be done with Goldie in the event that her owner is no longer around.
I don't really have a family member that I feel could take on Goldie in the event that I am not around. I don't want her to be rehomed to just anyone either. Some of the options for her future include making provisions at Home For Life. Home For Life offers lifetime care for your pet with a donation beforehand with their Angel Care program. I like the idea that I would know where she will be and that she would be taken care of. It's a great option for people that cannot leave their precious pet to a family member or friend.
The other option would be to offer Goldie to one of her many worthy Facebook or Twitter friends that have bird and sun conure experience. This option would be good because Goldie would be known somewhat by her far away friend. I would leave it up to a close friend to interview any of Goldie's Facebook or Twitter friends that would want her and to pick the best home.
Then there are wills and trusts. Someday soon I do plan to codify my exact wishes as to Goldie in a legal document. She is important to me and such an important part of my life that it is my duty to make provisions for her and her flock mates as well.
Sun conures can live up to 30 years of age and maybe a little more even, so it is important to plan for the future just in case. I hope to outlive Goldie and it is an incentive to eat right and take care of myself, but planning for her future and saving a little money for her future gives me peace of mind.

March 16th
Well, have not journaled in awhile – this year, had two enrichments (How to Bee, and Soup and Service) two book clubs, two joy schools at our house, two joy school field trips, birthday parties, baby shower, Doug has been to Canada twice (is there right now) he went camping with the boy scouts, then we went camping as a family, we just got back from camping with Nammy.
Thursday March 12th 2009 Joy school field trip to the woodlands children's museum. They have moved it sense the last time we were here – now it is in the mall. It was a rainy rainy day, we had to walk through the rain pouring down on our way out. Heather still in school, sad to go without her. They had a grocery store, school house, trains, medical center, dinosaur dig, and a reptile show with live reptiles. The kids had lots of fun. I got the kids to bed early, then that night, back up again, to pick up Nammy at the airport for the late night flight. She made it in even though it is spring break and the airports are crowded!
Friday March 13th
1st day with Nammy – had to take Heather to school, a rainy day, so we drove. We went to the Woodlands mall again, this time we went to their science museum. They had alittle maze that Autumn went under the walls on, I had to bend down and could just see her bare feet running around in the maze. They had the Alazka Imax showing in a little room, we got through a little bit of it with the help of some snacks. There was a cave with glow in the dark rocks, and a big dinosaur dig at the end that James really really got into. They had a big stegosarus skeleton, James quickly made some friends, put on goggles, passed out brushes etc. to everyone, and they went to work. It was serious business. Nammy go them toys out of the shop – a transformer dinosaur, geodes for Heather, and little dinosaur set for Autumn. Let the kids play in the mall play place, got cookies and brownies. We went by the animal pet store to look at all the cute puppies / kittens, ate at the food court, and let them ride the merry go round. On the way back through the mall, went past the little hermit crab stand, and Nammy got them each a little critter. The stripe one is D.D. – named "Dinosaur Dinner" and the green one Heather named "Patters" after the patterns on it's back. The kids have been swinging them around, sand flying – they only got dumped out once. Mom watched the kids at night so that I could go to a baby shower which was nice.
Saturday March 14th 2009
This day Heather can come with us! We spent the whole day at the rodeo – the first half of the day at the kids adventure zone, with a petting zoo – they spent a lot of time here, Autumn trying to feed the animals anything and everything, hugging them tight around the neck, etc. They had rabbits, little chicks, baby cows and pigs. We watch the sheep dog tryouts. Then we went to the lamas, and horse show, (rainy day, did not bring a wagon for the kids, should have) then ended the day at the rodeo in the arena with barel racing, cow roping, bronco riding, bull riding, wagon races, and it ended with a concert. Nammy got them cotton candy, we had nachos too. Then walked and walked back to the van – poor little James said he thought his legs were going to fall off.
Sunday March 15th 2009
Day of rest! We all went to church together, and then had a big long nap. I think everyone needed the rest after the last few days of excitement. Took picts of the kids out front in Easter cloths.
Monday March 16th 2009
Spent morning getting ready for camping, oil change for the car, then shopping while mom watched the kids at home. Then pack up the car, and got to Lake Livingston around 3:00. Went back and forth, finally got a good camping spot, and set up. We rented their little yellow bike/car and rode around. We got the fire started (with the help of a bunch of lighter fluid Nammy ran to the store to get) and cooked hotdogs and corn on the cob for dinner. Then we made smoores, read stories, let the kids play in all the rain puddles – we were lucky, it had been rainy all weekend, but cleared up today for our camping trip. The puddles made for lots of frogs, we heard them, but I never saw any. We climbed up their tower, it was a beautiful sunset.
Tuesday March 17th 2009
Woke up early, read a little scriptures, fixed some outmeal, got everyone dressed ext, then off to ride horses. Heather got to ride all by herself on her own horse – lightning (Heather called her thunder). James and Nammy rode together on "peppy" and Autumn and I rode together on "Red". Our guide was a character, Nammy was in the front, he sat sidesaddle, and talked the whole way there about how he had been in 3 car wrecks or he would be riding the bulls (like the stock show) how "Peppy" had bit him, and he bit peppy back, and how Ike did $20,000 damage to his house etc. etc. James saw him sitting on the horse sideways so he had to try it too, and Nammy had to try and get him to sit right again. Little Autumn and I had a tug of war over the reigns, I elt her have the reigns for awhile, but was afraid she would confuse the horse by shaking them up and down and pulling on the etc. She did pretty well though. At the end the gentle swaying of the horse put her right to sleep. Heather was smiling and smiling the whole time, talking to her horse. They fed us breakfast #2 – eggs / sausage / hasbrowns etc. then we went to pack up, and for a little walk around the duck pond. We had lunch at their little park, then rented the paddle boat. Little Autumn and James wanted to touch the water, so most of the trip Nammy held on to their lifejackets while they dangled over the edge of the boat. Heather and I were in the front paddling. We went all around the whole little cove of the state park. By the teim we got back the sun was finally up, the fog lifted, and Nammy got us all ice-cream. Heather chose this really big drumstick thing, and ate it all. Autumn and I switched half way through – ice cream and fruit bar. We let Chaco run around one more time, then headed back for home – everyone covered in mud and ice cream and very tired. Took some pictures of a field of flowers on the way back. Got home, Nammy gave them all baths while I unloaded all the camping stuff. We went to "Black-Eyed Pea" (kids eat free on Tuesdays) for dinner, came home, watched "The Incredibles" and copied the picts onto a CD for Nammy. It has been a fun visit for all of us! Nammy leaves for the airport tomorrow morning, and Doug gets back in from Canada at noon.

11 Animated Crash Bandicoot Tattoos
Everyone's favorite bandicoot is back in these awesome tattoos!
Most people who were around for the advent of the PlayStation probably fondly remember punching on the D-pad and buttons making an anthropomorphic bandicoot run, jump, and spin around until the blisters on their thumbs burst. It was great and well worth the pain. Crash Bandicoot was a revolutionary video game in its day, transforming the principles in fast-paced crawlers like Sonic into an immersive three-dimensional experience. It was so beloved by some that they grew up and got tattoo tributes to the game's iconic characters.
Spanning twenty years and 18 spinoffs, the Crash Bandicoot franchise has been a staple in most gamers' lives, especially PlayStation devotees. For many, it was the Crash that initially got them hooked on gaming, so it's no wonder that so many of them have tattoos of him blasting off via jetpack or bounding through the air to collect gems.
Crash is not the only icon from the game that's been propelled into the world of tattoos. Aku Aku — the witchdoctor trapped in a tiki mask who guides you through the levels — has also become a fixture in nerdy body art. Several gamers out there have also gotten homages to the game's outrageous villain Doctor Neo Cortex. Even items — like Wumpa fruit and Nitro boxes — have popped up in tattoos.
To see more nerdy and nostalgic tattoos, make sure to run over to these tattoosts' Instagrams. Should you have a special spot in your heart for Crash Bandicoot, consider having another special spot on your body dedicated to the game. Better yet, have one of the artists here design the piece for you.

CFP: [18th] Special Journal Issue: Representing Animals
Representing Animals
When Malebranche agreed with Descartes that animals 'eat without
pleasure, cry without pain, grow without knowing it; they desire nothing,
fear nothing, know nothing', he articulated an attitude towards the
animal kingdom that is often assumed to be that of the majority of
seventeenth- and eighteenth-century natural philosophers. Yet it is not
only modern critics who have characterized this view of animals as
automata as an 'irredeemably fatuous belief': a host of eighteenth-
century writers and artists challenge these Cartesian assumptions,
implicitly and explicitly, at every turn. For every text of the period
that uses animal figures for allegoric or satiric purposes, there is
another that invites consideration of animals as sentient â€" and
sympathetic - beings.
Proposals are sought for contributions to a special edition of The
Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies (formerly known as the British
Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies) to appear in 2010 on the subject
of Representing Animals in the Eighteenth-Century. (Those unfamiliar with
the Journal should note that it is concerned with a 'long eighteenth
century' from 1650-1820.)
Subjects may include, but are not limited to:
Cartesian automata and feeling beings;
Enlightenment animal ethics;
animals in natural histories, encyclopedias and scientific treatises;
collecting, displaying and describing the animal kingdom;
unearthing the fossil record;
changing metaphors - from the Great Chain of Being to the Tree of Life;
representing an animal's point of view;
animals in art and sculpture;
artists and their animals/the animal as muse;
hunters and hunted;
the domestic and the exotic;
animal husbandry;
satirizing public figures;
animals in fables, myths and folklore;
the use of animal characters in children's literature and/or sentimental
animals and it-narratives;
celebrating and eulogizing animals;
the changing symbolism of animals.
Please email proposals (of approximately 800 words) and a brief CV to the
volume's editor, Dr Glynis Ridley, Department of English, University of
Louisville: glynis.ridley_at_louisville.edu. Proposals are due by 1
September 2008. (Finished papers of approximately 6000 words will be due
no later than 30 April 2009). The editor welcomes queries about this
special issue of the Journal.

What is Lung Consolidation?
Lung consolidation occurs when the air that usually fills the small airways in your lungs is replaced with something else. Depending on the cause, the air may be replaced with:
- A fluid, such as pus, blood, or water
- A solid, such as stomach contents or cells
The appearance of your lungs on a chest X-ray, and your symptoms, are similar for all these substances. So, you'll typically need more tests to find out why your lungs are consolidated. With appropriate treatment, the consolidation usually goes away and air returns.
How common is Lung Consolidation?
Please discuss with your doctor for further information.
What are the symptoms of Lung Consolidation?
The common symptoms of Lung Consolidation are:
- Breathing difficulty which may increase depending on the severity of lung consolidation
- Wheezing and hard to catch a breath
- The chest feels heavy and tends to be in pain
- Tachypnea (a condition that can cause you to breathe very rapidly, sweat a lot, and have difficulty while talking)
- Abnormal breathing sounds
- Your face may appear paler than usual or even a little blue
- Heavy coughing with a large amount of mucous (the mucous may also contain blood)
- Fever
- Night sweats
- Exhaustion and fatigue
There may be some symptoms not listed above. If you have any concerns about a symptom, please consult your doctor.
When should I see my doctor?
If you have any signs or symptoms listed above or have any questions, please consult with your doctor. Everyone's body acts differently. It is always best to discuss with your doctor what is best for your situation.
What causes Lung Consolidation?
The causes of lung consolidation include:
Pneumonia is the most common cause of lung consolidation. When you have an infection in your lung, your body sends white blood cells to fight it. Dead cells and debris build up creating pus, which fills the small airways. Pneumonia is usually due to bacteria or a virus, but it can also be caused by a fungus or other unusual organisms.
Pulmonary edema
Congestive heart failure is the most common cause of pulmonary edema. When your heart can't pump hard enough to move blood forward, it backs up into the blood vessels in your lungs. The increased pressure pushes fluid from your blood vessels into the small airways.
People who almost drown get pulmonary edema. In these cases, the fluid enters the airways from outside their body instead of the inside.
Pulmonary hemorrhage
Pulmonary hemorrhage means you're bleeding in your lungs. According to a review article in Tuberculosis & Respiratory Diseases, this is most often caused by vasculitis, or inflammation of your blood vessels. This makes your blood vessels weak and leaky, so some of your blood moves into the small airways.
Aspiration happens when you breathe food particles or your stomach contents into your lungs.
Aspiration of food can cause pneumonia, but the infections are usually harder to treat than in ordinary pneumonia.
If you can't swallow correctly, you're more likely to aspirate when you eat. If the swallowing issue isn't fixed, you'll continue to aspirate.
Stomach acid and other chemicals can cause inflammation and irritate or injure your lungs, which is called pneumonitis. You're more likely to get this if you're in the hospital with a decreased level of consciousness. Once your level of consciousness improves, you no longer have a high risk of aspiration.
Lung cancer
Lung cancer is a common form of cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer takes more lives each year than prostate, colon, and breast cancer put together. You're much more likely to get lung cancer if you smoke.
Risk factors
What increases my risk for Lung Consolidation?
Please discuss with your doctor for further information.
Diagnosis & treatment
The information provided is not a substitute for any medical advice. ALWAYS consult with your doctor for more information.
How is Lung Consolidation diagnosed?
The doctor's diagnosis will begin with a conversation about your recent medical history. This will most likely be followed by a physical exam. This exam will include the doctor listening to your lungs and may be followed up with x-rays to get the full extent of the consolidation. Once a diagnosis has been made, treatment options will be presented.
How is Lung Consolidation treated?
Pneumonia is treated with medication targeted to the organism that caused it. You'll typically be put on antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals. You may also be given medication to control your cough, chest pain, or fever.
Pulmonary edema
Treatment of pulmonary edema is based on its cause. Treatment may include medication to remove the extra fluid, lower the pressure in your blood vessels, or make your heart pump better.
Pulmonary hemorrhage
If you have vasculitis, you'll usually be treated with steroids and immunosuppressants. You may need to take these medications regularly to prevent more bleeding.
If you get aspiration pneumonia, you'll be treated with strong antibiotics. You'll also be evaluated and treated for swallowing problems, so you don't continue to aspirate.
Pneumonitis isn't an infection, so antibiotics don't work. If you're very sick, you might be given steroids to reduce the inflammation, but usually you're only given supportive care while your body heals itself.
Lung cancer is hard to treat. Removing the tumor with surgery may give you the best chance to be cured, but not all lung cancers can be removed. Once the cancer starts to spread, it can't be cured, and treatment is given only to help your symptoms. Early detection is key.
Lifestyle changes & home remedies
What are some lifestyle changes or home remedies that can help me manage Lung Consolidation?
If you have any questions, please consult with your doctor to better understand the best solution for you.

Acupuncture Treatment
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese form of treatment that is proven effective by modern medicine. Extremely thin needles are gently placed in specific points on the body, with each point having a different effect on the patient's health.
The Chinese originally believed that acupuncture restored health by bringing balance to the flow of energy in the body's pathways. However, today we know that stimulating these points is so effective because each point is located in an area associated with key anatomical structures, especially nerves, muscles, and connective tissue.
How Can Acupuncture Help my Pet?
Today, acupuncture is growing in popularity in the veterinary world as a supplement to traditional medicine. For some pets, it can be as effective as prescription medication but without any of the side effects! This holistic therapy works by stimulating the blood flow and promoting the healing of damaged tissue. It also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkiller, and blocks the action of nerve fibers that cause chronic pain.
Acupuncture can be used in combination with conventional techniques to treat a variety of ailments and conditions, including:
- Pain, both chronic & postoperative
- Arthritis
- Pancreatitis
- Seizure disorders
- Anxiety or behavioral issues
- Asthma
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- & much more!
Acupuncture is a great way to increase your pet's overall health and quality of life without worrying about the side effects that accompany prescription medicines. If you think your pet could benefit from acupuncture, we recommend talking to your veterinarian about the best course of treatment.

Class Actions: Sympathy for the Paladin
There's something important I left out about paladins, that I think is important to the class and how it's played. Most paladins are mortal, and have chosen to devote their relatively short existence to upholding beliefs they hold which they believe to be far greater in importance than themselves. That's something you don't take lightly when dealing with a paladin.
Lots of us like to make fun of the paladin as a class concept, but there's a great deal more at play. Common flaws of the paladin could be considered "short-sightedness" and "inflexibility," but those are flaws chosen by the paladin. They exist for a reason, because the paladin made the conscious decision to put their beliefs first, and to uphold them through physical force, if necessary.
Few other character classes have the wherewithal to put their philosophical beliefs on the front lines to fight for them. Paladins take fire from all sides when they offer to pay for their beliefs with blood, and they suffer just as much for choosing to back up their beliefs as when they exercise moderation. Attacking a paladin for showing compassion is as popular as attacking them for meting out punishment.
Everyone has a different view of who can be considered a paladin, what a paladin should stand for, and how to do it wrong. You know who I think has the right idea? ArenaNet. Look at the
Paladin Guardian in Guild Wars 2. In a single move, I think they've circumvented a lot of problems, by changing the name of the class.
Be sure you read through the list of their abilities: symbols, wards, magic shields, and spirit weapons are key powers in lots of roleplaying games that feature paladins — Dungeons & Dragons, Diablo 2, and WarCraft, to name a few (that came to mind). I think I've probably said enough on the topic, though, as simply mentioning the paladin in some gaming forums or groups is enough to spark arguments.
What might be done about the paladin? There's a lot of expectation that comes with the class. Clearly, changing the name, as in the case of the Guild Wars 2 Guardian, might be the proper route. Newer generations of players won't see the same stigma attached to paladins that D&D players from Second and Third Edition do.
It might just be something to wait out.

I spend my days managing the efforts of our web design team and conferring with our social media guidance clients on the progress of their online activities. It makes sense that I would drink my own Kool Aid don't you think.
My team is very accustomed to building very detailed analytics reports but often it's the basic numbers that tell you to keep moving forward.
We bench marked June 1st as the day we starting building Trail Sherpa into a viable outdoor blog and hiking community. We were preparing to introduce the Trail Sherpa community and wanted to look back and see how the first few months went. Based on the numbers below, and the growth they represent, I'm pretty happy with our progress.
- Facebook likes increased from 159 to 247
- Twitter followers increased from 318 to 687
- Flickr Contacts increased from 14 to 36
- YouTube subscribers increased from 6 to 25
- YouTube upload views increased from 164 to 938
These are all hikers and backpackers with a few outdoor industry people sprinkled in. That's who we want to connect with. Who is the audience you want to reach with your blog?
Perhaps more noteworthy is that we launched the Trail Sherpa Community and have gone from our very first member to more than 100 active members in the first few months which included a lot of testing, breaking things on the site, fixing them, and now actually telling people about it. We're not setting any growth records but sheer numbers aren't our goal.
The goal with the Trail Sherpa Community, and the social outposts like Facebook and Twitter that support it, is to build an engaged group of hikers and backpackers that have a genuine interest in exchanging ideas and experience. And we've done a good job at that so far.
The first social network we built was geared at the real estate industry and we grew it quickly to more than 20,000 members in the first 18 months. But we learned a few lessons there. The most important was the difference between quantity and quality of members and their engagement with the group.
The Trail Sherpa Community is different. I'm getting to know many of the new members and they are all eager to share what they know. That feels really good and holds promise for being able to do something better than it has been done in the past.
What are you trying to do with your website? Do you have a goal? Ours is to give hikers and backpackers a place to connect with each other and tell their stories.
We'll keep tracking and measuring our progress. We'll keep asking questions and looking for answers. We'll keep searching for new members to pull into our conversations. If you haven't created your profile yet you can click here to get started.
But for now, thank you to all of you that have embraced the idea we are trying to foster here at Trail Sherpa and for sharing so much of yourselves in the beginning of this journey. It's appreciated and we look forward to where this might go next.

Makeup Revolution The one Fluid Blusher in Rush Me and Malibu Ocean - Review and Swatches
Oct 25, 2015 - Zubaida -
Makeup Revolution The one Fluid Blusher idea looks so different to me that i couldn't wait to pick them for me. A different packaging was one reason too. I have picked 2 shades called Rush Me and Malibu Ocean. Both of them are shimmery but you can choose for matte finish as well. Lets explore the product in detail.
The Most Natural FLUSH FINISH
Blush Fanatics Rejoice! Affordable Blush Perfection is here, with our The One Fluid Blush.
The most amazing feel and finish - and BUDGE-PROOF and WATER-RESISTANT, bringing INSTANT RADIANCE & ILLUMINATION to your skin. Using Our Silicone based, Oil free Technology, this unique Fluid-technology will suit all skin types and avoids blocking pores. Blends Easily and You can Keep Building to suit your desired look.
My Thoughts
Makeup Revolution The one Fluid Blusher in Rush Me and Malibu Ocean
Makeup Revolution The one Fluid Blusher in Rush Me and Malibu Ocean
Makeup Revolution The one Fluid Blusher in Rush Me and Malibu Ocean
Makeup Revolution The one Fluid Blusher in Rush Me and Malibu Ocean
The packaging of these blusher is quite different. It is small dropper bottle made of transparent plastic with black screw cap. The dropper is perfect to control the amount of product you want to dispense. The formula of this fluid is very thin and runny but is not very difficult to use. Just dispense one drop on the back of your hand and apply it on cheeks with fingers or any brush you think it can work with.
You have to always shake this bottle well before using because the formula fall apart from the liquid when put for long. While shaking there is some clinging you can listen which comes from the metal balls which are present in liquid to mix them well while shaking. The formula is oil free and silicon based which claims to not clog your pores which i think is true because once the blusher dries it sets into matte and there is no oily feel to it.
Rush Me is a shimmery peach shade with hint of pink. After blending it spreads and gives sheer application but if you want it more intense you can build it up with more drops. Malibu Ocean is a light bronze shade. It is also sheer at one application but is build able. Both shades have very fine shimmer which looks very natural and not glittery. They do not enhance pores like most powder highlighters and looks very natural. They are budge free like they claim and lasts very long almost 5 to 6 hours.
Overall The one Fluid Blusher are quite good. They are easy to spread, blend and the pigmentation is build able from sheer to intense.
In Favor
- Easy to spread and blend
- Pigmentation is build able from sheer to intense
- Easy to dispense
- Completely dries without being oily
- Doesn't enhance pores
- Long Lasting
- Silicon based
- You do not like silicon based products
- You find formula difficult to apply

The Yonhap News Agency says South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has granted Samsung Electronics permission to test its self-driving vehicles on public roads.
The news agency indicates Samsung Electronics is developing autonomous vehicle technology rather than a complete self-driving car, and is focussing its energies on sensors, and deep-learning and artificial intelligence modules.
Samsung is currently using modified Hyundai vehicles for its self-driving test fleet.
Hoping to encourage Korean companies to develop autonomous vehicle technology, the ministry has been easing regulations around their testing, including reducing the number of passengers required in a self-driving car from two to one.
The ministry claims it has permitted almost 20 self-driving vehicle trials since early 2016, with Hyundai Motor Corporation the first to gain approval.
Samsung Electronics is best known for its smartphones, televisions and home appliances, and is almost completely unrelated to Renault Samsung Motors, which produces rebadged and restyled cars based on Renault and Nissan models.
The automaker, although initially established by the Samsung chaebol or conglomerate, is now controlled and majority owned by Renault. The Samsung Group retains a small stake in the car maker through its credit card and life insurance arm, which is listed on the stock exchange.

In most cases you'll need to notice at least one deposition. Here's a handy overview for anyone new to California practice on what to include in your deposition notice and when to serve a subpoena along with it.
The basics on the notice of deposition: Serve a written notice on all parties who have appeared in the action, identifying (CCP §2025.220(a))
- The date, time, and location (address) of the deposition;
- The name of the deponent;
- The address and telephone number of a nonparty deponent, if known;
- Any intention to audio or video record the testimony, in addition to using the stenographic method;
- Any intention to record the testimony by stenographic method through the instant visual display of the testimony;
- Any intention to take the deposition by telephone, video conference, or other remote electronic means; and
- Any intention to reserve the right to use a video recording of the deposition of a treating or consulting physician or other expert at trial in lieu of live testimony.
Deposition notices will soon also have to disclose whether the party noticing the deposition (or a third party financing the litigation) has a contractual relationship with, or even just directed the use of, the particular deposition officer or court reporting agency recording the deposition. CCP §2025.220(a)(8), as amended by Stats. 2015 ch 346, AB 1197 (effective January 1, 2016).
For an organization's deposition, the deposition notice must also include a description of the matters on which examination is requested. CCP §2025.230.
The notice itself, or the accompanying proof of service, must list all parties or parties' attorneys on whom the deposition notice is being served. CCP §2025.240(a).
If you want oral testimony and production of documents at the deposition, then you'll also need to specify in your deposition notice each individual item or describe with reasonable particularity each category of items (including electronically stored information (ESI)) to be produced. CCP §2025.220(a)(4). If ESI is to be produced, specify the form of production desired, if any. CCP §2025.220(a)(7).
If the deponent is a party, you're all set—the deposition notice itself is sufficient to compel the appearance, testimony, and production of documents without the necessity of a subpoena. CCP §2025.280(a).
But if the deponent is not a party, then you'll also have to personally serve a subpoena and use Judicial Council Form SUBP-015 (Deposition Subpoena for Personal Appearance) to compel attendance and testimony. CCP §2025.280(b). The use of this form is mandatory. Cal Rules of Ct 1.31.
If you want to require the personal attendance of a nonparty witness and the production of documents at the deposition, you have to use Judicial Council Form SUBP-020 (Deposition Subpoena for Personal Appearance and Production of Documents and Things). In addition to the requirements for a subpoena for personal appearance, the deposition subpoena seeking production requires that you specify each individual item or describe with reasonable particularity each category of items to be produced. CCP §2020.510(a)(2).
You can personally serve a copy of the deposition subpoena on the witness (CCP §2020.220) and retain the original. CCP §2020.210(b). And make sure to attach a copy of the subpoena to the deposition notice, which you'll serve on all parties who have appeared in the action. CCP §2025.240(a).
In addition to the statutory requirements, many attorneys also include in the notice a statement that the deposition will continue from day to day until concluded. Or, if you anticipate a lengthy examination, the notice may specify that the deposition will be taken for two or more consecutive days. This practice discourages the deponent's counsel from unilaterally refusing to return to the deposition after the end of the first day.

The courts regularly enforce contract terms and grant damages to claimants for a defendant's breach of an agreement. Examples of such litigation cases Rex Bushman has handled included below:
Contract Litigation Case Studies
Real Estate Agent Denied Commission
Real estate agent denied significant earned commission
Student Nurse Denied Graduation
Student nurse denied graduation
Business Sale Enforced
Sale of business contract breached by new owner
Verbal Agreement Enforced
Client lost his expensive rock cutting equipment to lessor's conversion of it
Get A Contract Litigation Attorney for Verbal Agreement Enforcement
Utah law allows that verbal agreements are binding when made between willing participants. However, it is difficult sometimes to prove the exact terms agreed to when enforcement of the agreement becomes necessary. If the agreement is simple and straight forward Utah courts will uphold the obligations agreed to and require full performance of the terms by the opposing party. This means that damages or money judgment may be the result of litigation over a verbal agreement where the opposing party has not performed adequately pursuant to the terms agreed. All agreements for performance of terms between parties are recommended to be in writing.
Collection of Debts Owed Pursuant to Contract
Utah courts will enforce collection of money owed pursuant to a contractual agreement between the client and his defendant. Litigation on such a matter is straight forward and often may be resolved by motion for summary judgment instead of trial, where the facts of the breach of contract are not in dispute. Collection of the judgment if payment is not immediately forthcoming from the defendant, may be obtained by execution against the defendant's assets and money in the bank. The constable is directed by the court to seize the defendant's assets or bank account to satisfy the judgment.
Defense Against Unconscionable Contract Terms in Provo, Utah
A client may be the named defendant in a civil litigation. Often terms agreed prove too onerous for the defendant to have been able to accomplish a matter not considered at time of execution of a contract between plaintiff and defendant. A successful defense may be predicated upon facts showing that the defendant was being unduly used or not treated fairly in the inception of the contract thus being required to do more for the consideration passing to him than was reasonably expected of the client, defendant. In this case the defendant may be absolved from liability for being required to provide more in return than the value the client has received.

When you have a blog, you can see how people are finding you. Did they click a link from a friend's blog? Did you leave a comment on another blog and you are found that way? Many times its via searching for something else that people find blogs. In May of last year, I did a post about how people were finding my blog. You can read it here. Click on the pictures or links in this post to go to the original posts.
One would think that the number one term would be about purses, ads, something funny, anything. Alas, no. The number one search term is spyglass. People looking for this image! Click it to read a boring post about my new orange coat.
Thanks to a hilarious guest blog post by my friend, Sweaty, Huh! is the second most popular search on my blog. Huh! Who knew?
The term "Cabana Boy" must be very disappointing to some folks!
I'm pretty sure that our Valentine's Dinner at Subway is not what people are searching for when they look for Subway. Which reminds me. We are going to be looking for ideas of how to spend Valentine's Day this year.
It boggles my mind why people would be looking for the infinity and beyond symbol. Until I did my "romantic" post I had no clue there was such a thing!
Creepy Vintage ads is a popular term as well. I'm sure they were lead to this adWhich acquired over 1,000 hits in one day!
Some other terms that I don't even want to guess how or why people are searching: Cat Fat Woman, wigi board, taco without tomatoes, i'm not in the mood today leave me alone. The number one odd term, If I kill myself and you don't I'll look like a fool. Wow! Don't even want to know what that is all about. (Note the spelling, punctuation and capitalization are how they appeared. I didn't edit them. I do know how to use capitalization.)
If you are new to One Mixed Bag, feel free to poke around. I'm glad to have you.

The Pivot from Fashion to Friendship: #ICSCStyle and The #CREcosystem
RealMassive | Guest Authors
Guest Post by Julie Augustyn , Senior Director of Real Estate
theBrokerList and Buildout #DNAofCRE survey revealed some important statistics about the commercial real estate industry. To no surprise, the biggest standout was that 71% of industry professionals cited relationships as the biggest stimulus for winning business.
What is your opinion on using social media as a relationship development tool for CRE?
Last year I had so much fun with the #ICSCStyle campaign. I appreciate the fun post Jesse Tron, ICSC Spokesman, made last year sharing some highlights. What I learned throughout the course of this campaign was that #ICSCStyle had little to do with Style and everything to do with Relationships! I challenge you to also utilize new and creative ways to build relationships, promote your properties, and close deals.
For #RECon15 I sent a personal letter along with leather bands to the top 20 or so ICSC influencers. My intent was to promote the use of the ICSCStyle hashtag during the conference. The idea sprouted as a celebration of the work we were doing together.
For example, my broker friend Jim could explain to people that he was wearing a tie from the TJX deal he did in a Regency Center. This would promote his work, fashion, tenant, landlord, and more. While we had some really fun "shares," my favorite part was meeting social media friends in person and also making new acquaintances.
Today, #ICSCStyle is representative of the friendships we have built within our ICSC community. We share similar focus, interests, and goals.
(@JMAugustyn, @KristenKMoore, @MrsSarahMalcolm, @TronJesse)
Recently I made a new relationship with the team at RealMassive. After seeing their report on the commercial real estate community and innovation called "The New #CREcosystem" (CRE + Ecosystem), it caused a spark! For #RECon16, I am so happy to be partnering with RealMassive to promote that sense of community and innovation with the #CREcosystem. A pivot from fashion to friendship!
However, I still use #ICSCStyle to show off a deal completed:
Such a perk of our #CRE industry is seeing a good deal completed and store open! Now that is #ICSCStyle pic.twitter.com/EOhmsJm9xp
— Julie M. Augustyn (@JMAugustyn) January 13, 2016
Or, to show off a favorite dress for a convention. After all, this is the retail industry. But, I am most excited to be building relationships this year as part of the #CREcosystem.
Are you part of the 71%? Please join me, Linda from theBrokerList, and Mike from RealMassive – Sunday at 5 pm at Aria Sports Bar – to say hello in person!

Here is where you will find the latest updates on Odom Yachts.
With regard to the current build manual:
It appears to me that there might be 2 critical errors in the new instruction manual.
The new manual states:
Distance from Bow to Jib Sheet exit hole: 13 3/8″
Distance from Bow to Main Sheet exit hole: 28″
*Please hold off on any part of the build that may include these placements until we post the correct numbers. We hope to have this resolved in the coming days
We now have updated info. on the deck measurements and have included a plan view of the deck with all measurements (this is missing in the instructions). Also we have included more detailed information with regards to the main boom assembly and the jib club assembly.
These new deck dimensions are modified and updated to include the very latest in rigging placement that the current winning boats are using. We recognize that these dimensions are a bit different than the standard used more than 5 years ago but George Ribeiro is fully standing by the latest numbers.
Of course you may want to vary these numbers as you see fit, but we want you to have the latest info that the top racers are using.

Families of the Fallen
Following the decision by the Trustees of Families of the Fallen to close down the charity during 2015, Scotty's Little Soldiers were the grateful recipient of a large donation made by FOTF.
These funds have allowed Scotty's to continue to support bereaved British Armed Forces families and have contributed to the development of this website.
FOTF Chairman, Martyn Lewis CBE, said "We are proud of what our grants have achieved over the last four years, and would like to thank all those who generously donated to our cause. In closing down we are allocating our remaining funds to Scotty's Little Soldiers, which does similar work with the added bonus of running holiday homes for the families of lost soldiers."
Scotty's Little Soldiers would like to thank the Trustees of Families of the Fallen for their amazing work to date and for placing their trust in Scotty's to continue where they left off.
Full statement from Families of the Fallen…
Families of the Fallen would like to inform you that our Board of Trustees have unanimously decided that our purpose is best served by folding our assets into a charity called "Scotty's Little Soldiers", which has similar aims to ours, and specialises in helping the children of British soldiers killed in action. Accordingly, we will not be receiving any further requests for grants.
The reason is very simple. The last few months have seen a noticeable fall-off in requests to us (and, I gather, to military charities in general) for help. This appears to have been caused partly by the end of formal military operations in Afghanistan (and thus the number of soldiers killed in action there), and partly by the £10 million which the Chancellor, George Osborne, allocated specifically from the Libor fines on the banks for the benefit of regiments that have served in Afghanistan.
Rather than a merger, with all its associated legal and other costs, the Trustees have chosen the alternative recognised course of closing down Families of the Fallen, and donating our remaining funds of approximately £48,000 to Scotty's Little Soldiers. They will be redesigning their website in due course to incorporate the name Families of the Fallen.
FOTF has been privileged to be a substantial catalyst in addressing the myriad of problems faced by families and partners over the last five years. As many regiments will know, these included debt clearance, rent to prevent eviction, wakes and other additional funeral costs, holidays, flights, weekend get-togethers for bereaved teenagers, a memorial bench, driving lessons, a house extension for a handicapped child, garden play equipment, house renovations and furnishings, special needs school books and uniforms, visits to a son's grave, a special needs bed for a sick parent, hospital parking and petrol for a widow while her son has keyhole surgery, grief and trauma counselling, and helping bereaved families attend a special meeting with the Queen or Prince Charles.
We are pleased to have been of help in achieving all this, and would commend to you the great ongoing work by Scotty's Little Soldiers ( www.scottyslittlesoldiers.co.uk ).
I know that the decision by our Trustees reflects good practice within the voluntary sector, and the Charity Commission has indicated it sees our actions as a good case study to encourage other charities also faced with changing circumstances.
All our Trustees feel it has been a privilege and an honour to make a real difference to families whose fathers, brothers, sons and partners have given their lives for our country.
With all good wishes,
Martyn Lewis CBE,

Our children are growing up in a digital world with technology right at their fingertips. They're spending more and more time on the web — so teaching them to be safe and responsible online is critical. During the summer when there is less structure for our children is a critical time to address online safety. We've discovered a list of online terms every parent should know to get your conversations started.
As part of the discussion to educate parents, teachers and children about being responsible and safe online, NBCUniversal's "The More You Know" Learning Series — in collaboration with NBC News — has unveiled Growing Up Online, a free, interactive eBook on digital literacy and Internet safety. Even the most experienced Internet user might have a few questions about all the technical language used in the online world. What exactly is a cache? What is your digital footprint?
Here's a list of commonly used terms:
APP or application, is a software program typically used on a smartphone or mobile device. Apps may feel new, but the phrase "software application" has been around for over thirty years.
Instagram a free photo-sharing and social networking site on which people can take pictures and then share them with other members of the Instagram community.
Social Games games played online in which multiple players in different locations can play together or against one another. These players may or may not know one another online.
Social Networking Sites websites, such as Facebook or Twitter, on which people can share information and photos and play games together.
MMORPG a massive, multiplayer, online role-playing game. "World of Warcraft" is one of the most famous examples.
Digital Footprint the record, or footprint of everywhere you've gone online. This may include your visits to a web page or chat room, emails and uploaded videos. Some of this material may be publicly available to anyone searching for it and can be used in ways you might not want it to be.
Cache is a way your computer stores information, from either your own hard disk or online, so that it can be accessed more quickly. There is a record of your computer's cache, and you can delete items from it if they link to objectionable sites. A related term, browser history, refers to a list of all the sites you've visited online in a certain time frame. Each browser lists these differently.
The more you know about how the online world works, the easier it will be to talk with your kids and that's the best way to keep them safe.

I heard a story last week about a phenomenal mom who allowed her 7 year-old son on a playdate. While the two boys were innocently searching for Lego on the internet, up popped an x-rated video that wouldn't close with a simple click. She cried for three days and told me softly that she would never be ab;e to take back the images her son had witnessed. Horrific. Enter Kidoodle.TV. Launched for beta testing in Canada and set to launch across North America this summer, Kidoodle is made just for kids aged 12 and under. With increased parental controls, Kidoodle.TV makes programming safe for kids, with educational and entertaining content, free of nudity, profanity, violence and advertising directed at children.
They are offering a FREE one month trial during their beta test to get feedback from parents like you. Parents can sign up for this beta invitation on their site.
We love lazy summer picnics filled with giggles, soft blankets and sandwiches with crusts cut off. SO we've come up with a few inspired summer picnic tips to enchant your family as you lead them into the lazy days of summer.
1. Head to a fabric store and use pinking shears to make cloth napkins so the edges won't fray. It's great for the environment and you can design themed, beautiful picnics at a low cost.
2. Use individual jars for salad and dressings so you can shake and serve.
3. Don't forget baby wipes and hand sanitizer.
4. We have lots of printables on our pinterest pages so you can do nature walks and scavenger hunts.
5. Bamboo plates always look stunning and are earth friendly.
6. Ditch the tech and opt for old-fashioned entertainment like cards, etch-a-sketch and throwing a ball.
7. Make a picnic playlist for every summer and your kids will have years of happy memories associated with the songs.
8. If you have little ones, include a few favourite dolls or stuffies with tiny dishes. Enchanted.
9. To help teach responsibility and respect, throw a garbage bag and some plastic gloves in the basket and do a mini garbage cleanup of the site when you are done. Picking up litter of others will instill many lessinons in your children.
10. Opt for tealights in mason jars for twilight picnics. It will be both safe and beautiful!
Enjoy – and don't forget the bug spray! Add your ideas below!
Safety during Halloween extends to the entire family including pets. These safety tips from PetSmart will help ensure pet parents and their pets have a safe and fun Howl-O-Ween.
· Keep them happy. "Before having pets join in the Halloween fun, it's important to assess whether your pet will be comfortable participating or if the festivities will cause undue stress," says Dr. Simon Starkey, pet care expert at PetSmart. "Pets may be alarmed to find a ghost or witch at the front door so make sure there's a quiet space away from all the activity in case your pet needs it."
· Make sure treats are pet friendly. Many Halloween treats are not pet-friendly, especially those containing chocolate. Make sure to choose pet-safe treats to celebrate, such as GREENIES® Dental Chews, which also keep pets' teeth clean and ensures their breath isn't scary.
· Keep them safe. If you plan to walk your dog around the neighborhood in the evening, make sure they're properly outfitted and at ease around strangers and crowds. An adult should always have control of the dog's leash, and reflective leashes, collars or ID tags are essential accessories. Some pet costumes also offer safety features such as the glow-in-the-dark Martha Stewart Pets™ black Halloween skeleton costume.
· Decorations without danger. Halloween decorations can be scary, but should not be dangerous. Pet parents need to make sure curious cats and dogs are unable to reach lights, decorations, candles and other festive items.
Many a newly pregnant woman has several panic attacks when she realizes that pregnancy means changing some habits. What is safe during pregnancy? Can I dye my hair? Eat Sushi? What about nail polish fumes and second hand smoke? And the stress that all of these questions are causing. UrbanMommies has pulled together articles and advice from our medical experts to help you navigate the beautiful months while pregnant. Breathe, relax, and remember that moderation and instinct should always remain in the equation. As with anything, your doctor or midwife should be consulted if you are concerned about any issues you are having.
Severe heat can inhibit the safety of babies and children. With global temperatures on a slow march upwards, heat waves such as this are unfortunately likely to become more frequent than their previous once-in-a-lifetime occurence. Some people adore the heat, but babies and children as well as pets and elderly relatives are vulnerable to heat strokes, dehydration and other serious heat-related ailments. Here are some tips on surviving the heat:
- Never, EVER, leave a baby, child or pet in a parked car during hot weather. The temperature inside a parked car can very quickly rise to extreme levels. Children and pets can become extremely over-heated and some have even died when left in a hot car. This tip is therefore very important.
- Make sure babies, children and pets have plenty of water to drink. Heat produces sweat which causes the body to lose vital water. It is very important to replenish the body with water in order to prevent dehydration, which can be very serious.
- Keep babies, children and pets where it is coolest. Find the coolest room in the house, most likely the basement, and spend as much time there as possible. Only go outside unless you are doing water-related activities or if your house gets so hot, it's cooler in the shade outside. Restrict outdoor exercise, including walking dogs, to cooler evenings. Avoiding the heat is a great reason to spend the afternoon at the air-conditioned library.
- Dress appropriately. Keep babies and children in lightweight, loose fitting clothing. Is your toddler not a fan of clothing? Well, this is a good time to let him get away with his preference for nakedness!
- Hats and sunscreen. If you are outside in the sun at any time, make sure babies, children and yourself have hats and waterproof, high-SPF sunscreen on. Make sure to re-apply it when necessary. If baby is constantly taking his hat off, find a hat that has a Velcro strap that goes under his chin.
- Fans and air conditioners. These are of course, summer-heat standbys. Here's a good tip: put a bowl of ice in front of a fan. The fan will blow the cooler air around the ice towards you!
- Don't leave a baby or child to nap in direct sunlight. That tip speaks for itself.
- Utilize water. Cold showers and baths, pools and natural bodies of clean water are of course great. But here's another tip: fill up a bucket with very cold water and sit with your feet in it. As your blood circulates through your body, it will cool down in your feet and circulate cooler blood throughout your body. I tried this today and it helped a great deal. Just make sure there are no electronics that can fall into it to avoid electrocution.
- Keep cool at night. Have the whole family sleep in the basement if possible. Make sure babies and children are in light clothing, if clothing is necessary, and that they only have a sheet to cover them, if necessary. Open windows, if safe, to ensure plenty of circulation of the slightly-cooler night air. A cold shower or bath before bed can also help.
- Check in on elderly relatives. If elderly relatives live in hot areas, make sure to check with them that they have everything they need to beat the heat. The elderly are very vulnerable to overheating. Sadly, sometimes, it even causes death.
- Be careful of worsening air quality. Heat causes air quality to diminish. Be aware of this and make sure people with respiratory problems, including kids with asthma, are looked after. Try staying inside where the air is a little better.
- Indulge your children in frozen treats. If it's very hot, the cooling effect of frozen treats can be more important than their sugar content. If you'd prefer a healthy alternative, pick up a popsicle mold and make fruit juice popsicles by filling the mold with fruit juice.
Have you got a tip? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com (subject: Beat the Heat) with your name, city and tip and we will add your tip to this page!
Here are some signs of overheating to look out for:
*rapid breathing or difficulty breathing
*weakness, dizziness, or fainting
*more tiredness than usual
*confusion or disorientation
If you see these signs in someone help them cool down by removing clothing, having them drink cool (but not ice cold) water, bathing them with cool water and moving them to a cooler area. If they appear seriously listless or disoriented, take them to the emergency room or call 911.
The above signs to watch out for were taken from the Toronto Public Health's brochure on beating the heat. This brochure also has tips similar to some of the ones above. You can view this brochure here: http://www.toronto.ca/health/heatalerts/pdf/beattheheat.pdf

Dressing up, wearing hats, makeup and funny hair is such a great time for children and parents, not to mention the treats that go along with this fun night. Though with all the fun and good times that are about to be had, it's really important that safety be number one when getting your kids ready to head out with you to Trick or Treat. Urbanmommies.com has some simple Halloween trick or treating tips for tots that will keep the night fun and safe for everyone.
Trick or Treating Tips for Tots
- Ensure that your costumes are flame retardant and that they are loose enough to wear warmer clothing underneath.
- Masks can really obstruct a child's vision face painting is a safer option.
- Wear reflectors, the Dollar Stores are great for the neon ones that form into necklaces and bracelets plus, your kids will love to wear them!
- Flashlights will help the children see and be seen more clearly
- Feed your kids an early nutritious meal and make sure they are properly hydrated for the walk, little legs get tired out fast so stick close to home
- We live on the coast people, it's ok to carry an umbrella
- Keep to well lit sidewalks and always remember to walk not run
- Wear proper shoes, the princess shoes are adorable but clearly not a great choice for a long walk!
- Don't let your kids eat any treats before you get home and have a chance to sample, I mean look them over. There is only a tiny chance that your candy has been tampered with but "when in doubt, throw it out"!
Decorating for holidays can be tricky when you have little ones around. Take a look at the tips below provided by Safe Kids Canada and remember HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
When decorating your home:
- Small children should never carve pumpkins. Instead, let your child draw a face on the pumpkin.
- Make your home safe for trick or treaters. Remove all objects around the outside of your house that could cause children to trip or fall. Turn your outside light on.
- Avoid using candles to decorate pumpkins. Small inexpensive flashlights can be used to light pumpkins safely.
- Keep lit candles out of children's reach and away from curtains and other objects that could catch fire.
Summertime! The park! The beach! The campground! Uh oh! The bee sting! The sunburn! The knee scrape! Summer brings lots of outdoor fun but also the possibility of outdoor injuries. No need to keep the kids inside, just follow these environmentally-friendly tips. Recommended products are available at Whole Foods Market.

These are sour times. Dark times. Good times for dark and sour beer.
The hazy days of summer IPA are long gone, and the good dead grape is settled down for its long sleep in casks of oak. In the quiet after the commotion of harvest, a feral black cat stalks the vineyard, forever interrupting the frantic errand of some small creature scuttling under fallen leaves, stocking up on seeds as night draws nearer each day.
Though the grapes had saved their sweetest for last, there's a sourness in the air now, as left-behind and fallen grapes and apples play host to much smaller creatures' feast: Lactobacillus, Brettanomyces and other unruly guests make a cruel mockery of the good work of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the sacred yeast of the winemaking and brewing world.
But in beer, what's gone all wrong can be made right, explains Lagunitas Brewing Company's "head brew-monster" Jeremy Marshall about its limited release, Sonoma Farmhouse Brett stout. "This beer started almost as a mistake," Marshall says in brewery notes. "Back in 2010, a batch of imperial stout didn't go exactly as planned, so we put it into some red wine barrels, with a little brett. A couple years later, we took that beer out of barrels and found it had changed into something different and wonderful."
Lagunitas-strong, at an imperial 11.3 percent alcohol by volume (abv), this monster brew is deep and engaging, not hot—a dark harmony of vinous heritage and all those bugs that are bad for wine. But this October limited release is hard to find; get bottles while you can at the brewery's swag shop for $10.
For that wine-dark taste without the sour, try Plow Brewing's Irons in the Fire porter aged in Pinot Noir barrels, on tap or in a crowler (a growler in a can) to go for $15.
The hue of leaves turning red, Fogbelt Brewing's Methuselah ($18) is brewed with light pilsner malt, but aged with Zinfandel grapes for two years in wine barrels. The tart taste is deepened by a fruity, raisiny undertone, with something of that sour funk of old books nuancing its slightly beery bouquet. Which brings us to Barrel Brothers' Leather-Bound Books ($18), a dusky brown sour ale aged in Pinot Noir barrels with unspecified dark fruits. Like damp straw and healthy compost, there's something farm-yardy but fresh and sweet about the Leather-Bound, and it's tarter, with more of a fig than raisin character of the darker Duchesse de Bourgogne, a Belgian sour that it resembles. My spirits are lifted already.
