Organizations must provide a seamless experience for their customers and employees or risk losing them. The challenge of integrating systems to support a seamless experience has grown with the adoption of the cloud. More narrowly focused SaaS applications are replacing complex on-premises systems that offered this capability only after years of development and deployment. The world of integration often includes cloud to cloud and cloud to on-premises scenarios. Continue reading "Delivering a Better Customer Experience with Salesforce"

Social media is an environment that provides all the information a person can ask for. This is why any businessman can take advantage of this opportunity and expand their brand with a minimum effort and without taking any risks.
Rules to follow in order to apply the perfect social media strategies:
- Always keep in mind to express an authentic brand; after all, you want your business to succeed on the long term, so make sure your virtual brand offers the exact type of services or products you offer in the real world.
- Do not forget to make updates from time to time; you need to keep in touch with your customers' requirements and remember that in every domain the competition is very severe. You must have a complete profile that offers the clients the type of the details they need.
- You need to respond to your connections, to talk with them constantly because this is what social media is all about, not only advertising. By maintaining conversations you can really connect with your clients and gain their trust in time.
- Try to keep you message or your status simple and relevant, so everyone who visits the platform for the first time can understand easily what it is about. Anyway, in case they are not interested in what they see, create some other links that lead to others social networks you have; it will help you a lot with (the) your other businesses.
- Keep in touch with the latest apps and gadgets. Nowadays there are even certain tools which allow business to centralize the accounts from all their social media platforms. On http://www.hcmdigital.net, you can find a lot of information about the latest apps so that your business can be up to date with the latest internet trends.
- These are some of the best pieces of advice you can follow to improve your social media skills, but as we know people also make mistakes. Most off them are made because they are too confident that they have done all they needed to do.
Three big mistakes you can avoid by getting better informed
- Not posting on time is the worst way to keep your audience interested. They must remember your network and the services it offers, so try to be creative and surprise them with unique things content.
- Sometimes we forget about the competition and that's bad because it can be a great way to find out what's new on the market and what the new strategies to improve our business are.
- We don't always care about the bad remarks people make regarding our work, we don't even respond to them, maybe because we take it too personal. Although these commentaries are unpleasant sometimes, they might point out our mistakes and it can turn into a great way of improvement.
These are the most important things you need to know about maintaining a social network; it's not that hard if you are aware of the impact it has on your business. All you have to do is get involved.

Q1: Following on from their successful banelegions ranges, Any thought on doing the odd special say a 54mm or bigger?
Q2: Are there any plans for some game rules to go with the banelegions?
Q3: With Flames of War and GW becoming, erm... difficult recently do they feel the hobby scene is still heading in a positive direction?
What happened with the casting of the Vagrant night? The kit I recieved wasn't that great in some spots. I was able to work with it and produce a pretty nice mini in the end, but it was very puzzling in some areas. The quality of resin and detailing was fine, it just looked like there were serious issues while chopping it up for casting. I've seen some disasterous pictures of this kit and I heard there were some reputation concerns from the sculptor. Can you please shed some light on the issue?

How to Set Up Out of Office on Yahoo Email
If you're going to be away from the office and won't be able to check your messages, you can set up Yahoo Mail's vacation response feature. After specifying the time period you'll be away, you can write a custom auto-reply message that informs your contacts about why you're away, when you'll be back and what other methods they can use to contact you, if necessary. The feature additionally supports an alternate message that gets sent to contacts on certain domain names.
Highlight the gear menu button above your Yahoo Mail inbox and then click "Mail Options."
Click the "Vacation Response" mail setting option.
Click the "Enable Auto-Response During These Dates (Inclusive)" check box. Use the "From" and "Until" drop-down lists to select the date range that you'll be away.
Type your out-of-office message in the "Message" box. If you want to receive a sample email that shows the message, click "Send Sample Copy to Me" and then click "OK" on the notification that pops up.
Click the "Different Response to Emails From a Specific Domain" check box if you want to send a specific message to up to two chosen domain names. Type the domain names in the "First Domain" and "Second Domain" boxes and then type your personalized out-of-office message. Click "Send Copy to Me" to receive a sample copy and then click "OK" on the notification that pops up.
Click "Save" to finish setting up your out-of-office responses.
- Clear the "Enable Auto-Response During These Dates (Inclusive)" box to turn off your auto-response at any time. You can also make edits to the dates, messages and specified domains as needed. Click "Save" any time you make these changes.

I was recently wondering if you could rename that "Custom" tab when creating a new site that holds your custom site templates. Well, it turns out that you can. After searching a while on the net, i came across a post with the following information:
In SharePoint 2007, any custom templates added through the stsadm command
stdadm -o addtemplate appear under the "Custom" tab.
This may not appear sufficiently corporate for some people. One easy fix is to simply modify the locale file at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\Resources\core.en-US.resx. Just find
<!–TemplatePickerControl –>
<data name="TemplatePickerControl_Custom">
and modify
<value> to anything you like.

Perlite is a naturally occurring amorphous, volcanic, siliceous rock with high water content. Upon heating sufficiently the water molecules are released and perlite expands 4 to 20 times of its original volume imparting white color to the material. Perlite is an industrial mineral useful for its lightweight after expansion.
Rising demand from the recovering global construction market is expected to drive the perlite market for the coming years. However, limited availability of the resource and easy substitutability is expected to restrain the market growth. New applications in various fields such as filtration and horticulture are projected to be the market opportunities for expansion.
Perlite finds application in the construction, horticulture, filtration, foundries, ceramics as clay additive and cryogenic insulation among others. Construction market emerged as the largest end-user segment globally. Perlite is used as an additive in lightweight insulation, plasters, mortars and ceiling tiles in the construction industry. Owing to its high permeability, demand from horticulture and filtration market is also projected to grow rapidly in the coming years. Perlite is being widely used for filtration of beer as well as a substitute for diatomaceous earth in filtration applications worldwide. Industrial applications for perlite include high-performance fillers in plastics industry and cements for geothermal, water and petroleum wells.
Asia Pacific is the largest consumer as well as producer of perlite owing to low regulatory bans and high demand from construction industry. Recovering construction market in North America and Europe after the recent slump is also adding up to the demand for perlite. China is the largest supplier of perlite followed by Greece, U.S. and Turkey.
Some of the players in the perlite market include Pratley Inc., California Shake corp., Perlite Co., Omran Moomun Chabahar, Harborlite Corp, Imerys, P.V.P. Industries, Inc., and Midwest Perlite Inc., among others.

Dreams have come and gone, but the one constant through my life was that first and foremost I am an athlete. Whether it be on the basketball court, the soccer field, the ice arena, or the open road of triathlon, I have always loved performing and training.
Because of this passion I can sit down with anyone and have an open and frank conversation about athletics, goals, successes and failures. I have an insight into what helps people be successful and how to help them achieve their goals. I've been on both sides of the success and failure fulcrum. I know what it's like to not achieve goals and to come back from that stronger and more determined.
Coach Beth
My passion for fun is how I attract and maintain clients. I work with clients who want to improve their lives through physical fitness.
Making the decision to start is just the first step. Once that decision is made, it easy to start a program. Energy and enthusiasm are at their peak in the beginning phase.

- A KILLER copy with DEMO DISC Shootout Winning QUADRUPLE Plus (A++++) sound on the second side and Triple Plus (A+++) sound on the first
- This Limited Edition Sheffield Lab Direct Disc recording has some of the best sound we have ever heard for this title
- It doesn't get any better than this, with CLARITY and that JUMP OUT OF THE SPEAKERS quality we desire from a Hot Stamper
- Many copies of this album tend to sound a bit thin and somewhat bright; on this copy, the sound is rich, full, and tonally correct from top to bottom and the horns sound especially wonderful
Please note: we award the Four Plus A++++ grade so rarely that we don't have a graphic for it in our system to use in the grading scale shown above. So the side two here shows up on the chart as A+++, but when you hear this copy you will know why we gave it a fourth plus!
What do Hot Stampers give you for this album? It's very simple. Most copies of this album are slightly thin and slightly bright. They give the impression of being very clear and clean, but some of the louder brass passages start to get strained and blarey. This copy is rich and full. The sound is balanced from top to bottom. You can play it all the way through without fatigue.
Trumpets, trombones, tubas, tamborines, big bass, drums — everything has the true tonality and the vibrancy of the real thing. The reason this record was such a big hit in its day because the recording engineers were able to capture that sound better than anybody else around. That's also the reason this is a Must Own record today — the sound holds up!
Just listen to that amazing brass choir on Oh Lord, I'm On My Way. It just doesn't get any better than that. If ever there was a Demo Disc, this is one! (more…)

Humanitarian aid is an important component of Slovak development cooperation. It is governed by certain specific features which arise from the necessity to flexibly and promptly respond to the current requirements of countries affected by humanitarian crisis. The SR provides humanitarian aid in compliance with the principles of Good Humanitarian Donorship and the European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid, adopted by the SR in 2007. Humanitarian aid is provided in accordance with the needs of the international community, therefore, sectoral and territorial priorities are not defined for this programme.
Goal of the programme: mitigate negative impacts of humanitarian crises caused by natural disasters, armed conflicts, social conflicts, etc.
Instruments: The Humanitarian Aid Programme is based on the Mechanism for Providing Humanitarian Aid (approved on 12 of April, 2006 by the Resolution of the Government of the SR No. 310/2006). The key is the coordination with other donors, mainly within the EU, that allows for reducing the costs of humanitarian material transport effectively. Humanitarian aid can take both the financial form (with MFEA SR being in charge of) and the material form (with MI SR being in charge of).

Shoulder to cry on!
I heard the most horrific story. A woman, reportedly suffering from Postpartum Depression, suffocated her 4 children, burned them and then hung herself! Leaving everything to be discovered by her husband when he returned home from work!
I first heard the story from a friend that happened to have been acquainted with her and then I read several accounts/opinions on social media.
The first thing that comes to everyone's mind is shock. My friend couldn't understand how someone so normal, so put together, so friendly could do something so horrific. In social media the responses were similar, "was she frail unable to take care of her children" …"how could she be like me?" Other people trying to be helpful offer their own ear and support to any friend that might be feeling depressed.
As a psychotherapist I work with many people who suffer from depression and other psychiatric conditions. I think the most important thing to realize is that this woman battled a mental illness. She wasn't like you and me… overwhelmed, tired, frustrated, etc. She had a neurological condition that defied every human instinct! Everyone that is gifted with a healthy brain is born with a will to live, but when we give birth, we acquire a stronger will… for our children to live. What this woman experienced was a total disruption of her cognitive/emotional control. Believe me, going to a friend would not have helped. Suggesting that, would be similar to suggesting for a brain cancer patient to just 'find a friend'. She was not feeling alone. She was experiencing psychosis. What she needed was therapy and medication in a hospital setting.
I know that people who are offering their 'shoulders to cry' on or who are suggesting that we as women just spend more time caring for ourselves, mean well. Unfortunately that will never be enough. Please remember that if you ever encountered a friend or a relative or just an acquaintance who you think is suffering from depression… beg them to get help. If they express thoughts of self harm or harming others, please don't think that they just need attention… call 911! Please don't think that you can handle that burden.
This woman did not suffer quietly for 2 years. People around her knew…they just didn't know how bad it could get.
Depression is deadly, if you want to save a life don't just offered your shoulder, but push the person to seek professional help and follow up, to make sure they are getting it!

Job Requirements of Global HR Specialist
A growing business may elect to expand operations into other countries. To staff international offices, a global HR specialist helps ensure compliance with the diverse labor laws of other countries. The global HR employee must be able to interact with a diverse, wide-ranging group of managers and employees while working to advance the organization's objectives.
International Reach
A global human resources specialist's job duties reach beyond the borders of the United States. If she works in an organization with offices in other countries, she will interact with foreign HR specialists in countries such as Great Britain, Mexico, Canada, Spain or Germany. She may be responsible for reviewing and changing current HR policies and procedures for each office in the company's organizational chart. She must be eligible to work in the U.S. Obviously, her position will entail substantial travel.
Overseas Operations
Global HR specialists work in a newer human resources subspecialty as U.S. companies expand into other countries. This specialist primarily handles problems and situations stemming from overseas locations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While her main focus is on international offices, she may also be required to interact with management and employees working in the U.S.
HR Areas of Support
The global HR specialist works to ensure her employer is compliant with national and international labor laws. She may be responsible for overseeing employee classification and compensation, verifying that each employee is correctly classified within the organization. Her job may also require that she go through pay records for every employee to verify all are paid at the correct level. In her position, the global HR specialist is the company's liaison between management and rank-and-file employees. She interacts with employees, lower- and middle-management and upper management, listening to representatives at all levels. She must ensure that she understands every message, since she is the employee relations point of contact. Finally, she is responsible for field operations, reaching out to local, national and international offices and HR employees in these locations.
Job Qualifications
The global HR specialist is likely to have started as an entry-level employee in the human resources department. As she gained experience, she advanced, specializing in global human resources issues. She should be able to work well with other employees and departments. She should also be comfortable with her organization's goals, commit to these goals and work to advance them. Experience in other fields, such as education, social services, government, the military and business will give her the background necessary to carry out her job requirements.

In a contentious City Council Race hinged heavily along ethnic, racial and social lines, voters in the staggeringly diverse District 2 were turning out Tuesday—in varying degrees. Stretching from the pub-lined enclaves of Murray Hill and Gramercy Park, south to the hipster strongholds of the East Village to the largely Latino contingency on the Lower East Side, District 2 voters filtered into their respective polling places from early this morning.
According to one worker at a polling station at 3rd Avenue and 11th street, turnout up until mid-afternoon was "so-so," On East 9th west of 1st Avenue, another poll worker observed that there was a "flood from time to time."
Still, volunteers along side streets between 3rd Avenue and Avenue B shouted praises for their candidates, often from opposite sides of the same sidewalk. Brian Kavanagh and Rosie Mendez supporters were the most prominent, as evidenced by the smattering of campaign posters on every available lamppost in the East Village.
When asked about petitioning challenge instigated by Mendez this summer, Ronnie Billini, a former resident of District 2 who commuted from South Orange, New Jersey at 4:30am to support her candidate, said, "Mendez had every right" to make the challenge. The petitioning issue had more to do with raw numbers than discrimination, she contends, and if you can't get the numbers "how are you going to manage this diverse district?" As for the other candidates, she asks, "what have they done for the community?"
A lot, says Peter Rider, a volunteer for Kavanagh. While he also agreed that turnout was slow, with few people "really jazzed up" about the election, he pushes his candidate's activism in community and tenant organizing in the borough. This race, he believes, is based on factors other than race, sexual orientation and gender.
It is not a sentiment felt by all, especially in the Latino communities north of Delancey on the Lower East Side. "People will vote for who they can relate to," said Sandra Maldonado, who is lending her support to Rosie Mendez. Will most of her neighbors do the same? "I believe so," she says.
Indeed, on the Lower East Side the steady stream of older Latino voters was obvious, punctuated by a strong opinion or two about the ethnic issues at play. One poll worker at P.S. 140 on Ridge Street north of Rivington observed, "it's been busier than expected" for a primary election. Will that guarantee Mendez's bid?

French manicure fits on any occasion and give to the hands a neat and elegant look.
You need nail polish – colorless or white and pastel prefer – little acetone and a flat brush. It could be a make-up brush used in the application of eye shadow or brush drawing, it is important to be flat or top right.
Just dye the tips of your nails with white nail polish – you do not need a straight line – after which you will return to each nail to remove excess nail polish with a brush dipped in acetone. It is much simpler than bother to draw a straight line or using adhesive tape.

Cheddar is perhaps the best known cheese in the world.
Cheddar gets it's name from the village of Cheddar in the county of Sommerset in southwest England. Cheddar has been produced since at least the 1100's. Historical documents show that King Henry II ordered 10,420 lbs of cheddar cheese in the year 1170.
People generally associate cheddar cheese with the color orange or yellow, but cheddar is naturally a pale or creamy white. Cheddar gets its orange color from annatto, a vegetable coloring derived from achiote trees. Annatto has been added to cheddar since at least 1860. The reasons for coloring cheddar are not clear. One possible reason is that cheeses that were richer and had a higher fat content turned yellow over time. Adding annatto may have given cheaper cheeses the appearance of more expensive cheeses.
Unique to making cheddar cheese is the process of cheddaring. This involves stacking "loaves" of curd and turning those loaves every 10 minutes. This process gives cheddar a distinct flavor.
Cheddar is made in many parts of the world, and so the name "cheddar" is not protected. However, to be labeled West Country Farmhouse Cheddar the cheese must be made in one of the English counties of Somerset, Devon, Dorset, or Cornwall. It must be made with local ingredients and be made in the traditional manner.
You can see in the photos the difference between factory-made cheddar and hand-made cheddar.
Cheddar cheese is often marketed as mild, medium, or sharp. Mild and medium cheddar cheese has been aged only a few months where sharp cheese has been aged longer, usually at least 6 to 9 months. Sharp cheddar usually has a more complex, nuttier flavor to it. Supersharp cheddar is usually aged about 1 1/2 to 2 years.
You may find a cheese called "Longhorn Cheddar" in the store. Longhorn is actually a type of Colby cheese, which is similar to cheddar, but does not use the cheddaring process and has a different taste and texture.
More Information
West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers have a website about the PDO cheese. Their website has lots of information about the traditional way cheddar is made. You can also order their cheese online if you live in the mainland UK or Northern Ireland.
Where to buy
Cheddar is everywhere. Most of the stuff in the grocery stores is plain factory cheddar, but many grocery stores will have other varieties as well.
You can find tons of different Cheddars at amazon.com.

Is there any difference in nutritional or additives that are detrimental??

The parents said that whenever they put him in his bed and try to leave the room, he starts screaming until he works himself up to the point of vomiting.

Neither approach worked. By the time they they came to [Continue reading…]

Beastfolk, Lutrin (3.5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
(Note: The Lutrin are based on Ollie Canal's Lutrai). The Lutrin were originally natives of the shores of the River Oceanus that runs through the Upper Planes. However, after an unfortunate shift in planar alignment around a series of tropical island archipelagos on the Prime Material Plane, the Lutrin slipped through the planar cracks, and were forced to set up new homes in a world of lesser light but greater possibility. They are still filled with the incredible positive energy of their former homes near the shores of the River Oceanus, and because of this, the ever-cheerful and energetic Lutrin are able to resist the wearing down and depression that too-often comes as a part of life in the world of mortals.
One would be hard-pressed to find a race more trusting, accepting, and cheerful than the Lutrin. Lutrin are a loving people, curious and full of a love for life that is seldom found anywhere on the Prime Material Plane. Visitors among the Lutrin are accepted with open arms, and then engaged with extensive questioning and curious observation.
Physical Description[edit]
Standing between four and five feet tall, the otterlike Lutrin are lithe and well-built, seemingly made for aquatic life thanks to their strong, rudderlike tails, webbed hands and feet, and thick, oily, waterproof fur which comes in shades of brown ranging from a light tan to almost black, with the underbelly usually being a lighter color. Lutrin often use extensive body painting as their major form of decoration, as they prefer to wear as little as possible, due to their preference for an amphibious lifestyle, where clothing would only get in the way.
Because of their outlook and the isolated nature of their homeland, Lutrin do their best to get along with just about everybody, and have a hard time understanding the nature of evil, or that there might actually be evil races at all. If a race, however vile under normal circumstances, does not threaten the Lutrin directly, then the Lutrin automatically consider that race to be a friendly one, and react accordingly. Lutrin are not foolish, though, and while they are a trusting people by nature, if given good reason to fear or distrust a group or class of outsiders (such as ships flags dentifying them as slavers) then they take steps to avoid or neutralize these threats, though flight is the preferable option in most cases. Slavers are actually the greatest threat to the Lutrin, because of their trusting natures, and races and nations who engage in this practice, especially those who take Lutrin as slaves, are some of the few groups that can draw down the fury of the Lutrin on their heads, culminating in full tribal warfare, with word spread all along the archipelago that this race or group must be wiped out for the sake of freedom, peace and happiness, in a battle to the death. Another exception to the normally peaceful nature of the Lutrin is their hatred of undead, which they regard as an abomination to the natural order that must be corrected at all costs.
Peaceful, cooperative, trusting and loving, the Lutrin race are almost completely Neutral Good, though there are a fair number of Chaotic Good Lutrin who constantly seek for new thrills and to push the already quite flexible envelope of Lutrin society.
Largely isolated island archipelagoes are the places where the Lutrin can be found on the Prime Material Plane. They live in tropical paradises, where the essentials of life are easily obtained, and clean, healthy living is the order of the day. These archipelagoes are too far removed from other lands, and too lacking in easily-exploitable resources to be of great value to most other races, and so the Lutrin are able to live out their lives in peace and contentment, save for their struggles with the dangers of nature itself, and occasional encounters with explorers, pirates, and slavers.
The deities that most appeal to the Lutrin are peaceful nature deities and gods of sun and healing. Ehlonna is the common D&D nature goddess that best appeals to the Lutrin, and Pelor a perfect example of a god of sun and healing that suits the needs of the Lutrin perfectly.
Lutrin speak a primitive form of Celestial as their native language, and most of them also know a smattering of accented Common as well. They can also select bonus languages from Avian, Elven, Feline, Gnoll, Halfling, Squeak Speak, and Wolfen.
Names among the Lutrin are made of forename and surname, like with many other peoples, except that among the Lutrin the surname is taken from the first name of the mother, as in "daughter of Meesha," or "son of Lei." First names are very tropical and tribal in nature, and are often composites of words, with girls often having names after flowers, fruit and graceful animals, while boys are given names after objects, such as mountains or aspects of the sea, or animals noted for their strength and virility. Female names include Orchid, Softfawn, and Dolphinlaugh, and male names include Swiftspray, Osprey, and Thunderrock. These names are often in the Lutrin dialect, and so they can sound quite different from these more literal translations.
Lutrin do not generally adventure not so much because they are not interested in adventuring as because they live so far away from everybody else. Lutrin seeking to sate their curiosity about the world, usually younger Lutrin who have no responsibilities to family or tribe, do occasionally take passage aboard ships passing through their tropical archipelagoes or even build their own seagoing craft, or else are forced into service by press gangs or slavers seeking to fill quotas. Once they discover the rest of the world, Lutrin are quickly taken up with the idea of exploration and adventure, and most greatly enjoy life of the open road, with new discoveries around every corner.

Because of this, they never suffer permanent level or attribute loss from negative energy damage. Lutrin also cannot be turned into undead. This vibrancy of life does not protect them from mundane attribute draining, though, such as from poisons or disease.

Lutrin Subrace: Finfoot[edit]
While the same planar upheaval that deposited the Lutrin on the Prime Material Plane worked its way down the River Oceanus all the way to the River Styx (where it is believed to have picked up the sharklike bloodseekers), it passed through an intermediate area, in a realm of frigid planar cold. The inhabitants of this region were a related species to the Lutrin that had broken off so long ago that they were no longer able to interbreed, but there was a bare connection anyway. This surly Neutral-aligned, cold-dwelling race soon found themselves living in isolated fjords and distant realms of frosty cold on the Prime Material Plane, hunting and surviving in the depths of the frigid waters of these places, and keeping largely to themselves, barring the occasional adventurous soul that would set off for points unknown, either because of curiosity or because of getting pulled away in a powerful ocean current. These are the finfeet, or sealfolk, a race that takes after most of the traits of seals and walruses, fitted to a humanoid form, complete with floppy, webbed feet that often serve to hinder their movements on land. The females of the race are noted for being quite kind and hospitable, but the males are noted for being incredibly fierce and territorial, though the males will often allow the females to decide who the males get to attack. They are related to the thanoi (a race from Dragonlance), who are a barbaric offshoot of their race.
Racial Traits[edit]
- +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, -2 Charisma
- Monstrous Humanoid (aquatic)
- Medium-size
- Finfoot base land speed is 20 feet: Swim speed 40 feet
- Low-light Vision
- +2 to Spot and Survival checks
- Blubber: +4 on Fortitude saves versus cold weather effects.
- Keen Scent: Finfeet can take Scent as a racial Feat if Wisdom is 11 or higher.
- Aquatic Grace: Finfeet can move in water without any reduction in speed or penalties to armor class and attacks, beyond the normal restrictions of using items, armor and spells underwater. In addition, they can hold their breath for four times as long as normal, and are able to go twice as deep underwater as normal characters before suffering penalties.
- Tusks: Finfeet can take Tusks as a 1st-level racial Feat, giving them a bite attack as per the Feral Bite racial Feat found in the "Feats of the Beastfolk" document. This can take the form of either actual tusks, or just very sharp teeth and strong jaws.
- Walrus Size: Finfeet can take the Gigantism Racial Feat (detailed in the "Feats of the Beastfolk" document) at 1st level without penalty. This generally makes the Finfeet in question take on an appearance similar to that of either a walrus or one of the larger varieties of seal, such as leopard seals.
- Automatic Languages: Common, Celestial. Bonus Languages: Avian, Elven, Feline, Gnoll, Halfling, Squeak Speak, Wolfen.
- Favored Class: Barbarian.
- Level Adjustment: +1
Lutrin Subrace: Surf Rider[edit]
Arriving on the Prime Material Plane through the same strange shift in planar alignment, the Surf Riders are actually a different race from the Lutrin (and they cannot interbreed with them), though they are similar enough in habits and activities and behavior to be considered a subrace by those who know them. The Surf Riders, unlike the Lutrin, often live their entire lives in the water, though they often come near shore to interact with land creatures, who they find fascinating and a constant source of entertainment. With smooth, sensitive skin that has the same patterns expected of a dolphin or other sea mammal, an extended 'beak,' a protruding bulge of the upper forehead housing the sonar apparatus and a blowhole for breathing, and often sporting a tail as well as webbed hands and feet, Surf Riders look like a perfect fusion of humanoid traits with those of a dolphin or other cetacean. The Neutral Good Surf Riders are as fun-loving and free-spirited as the Lutrin, though they are more explorative, and often seek out and interact with a variety of other races in the world, enjoying the company of land dwellers the most. Surf riders are the natural enemies of bloodseekers and other evil aquatic denizens, and they take an active stance against such menaces, as well as doing battle against evil pirates and slavers whenever they get the chance.
Racial Traits[edit]
- +4 Dexterity, +2 Charisma, -2 Wisdom
- Monstrous Humanoid (aquatic)
- Medium-size
- Surf Rider base land speed is 30 feet: Swim speed 40 feet.
- Low-light Vision
- +2 to Spot and Listen checks
- 120-foot blindsight when underwater, 10 feet when out of water.
- Aquatic Grace: Surf riders can move in water without any reduction in speed or penalties to armor class and attacks, beyond the normal restrictions of using items, armor and spells underwater. In addition, they can hold their breath for eight times as long as normal and are able to go twice as deep underwater as normal characters before suffering penalties.
- Orca's Might: A Surf Rider can take the Gigantism Racial Feat (detailed in the "Feats of the Beastfolk" document) at 1st level without penalty; most who do so also look more like larger whales such as orcas than dolphins.
- Automatic Languages: Common, Celestial. Bonus Languages: Avian, Elven, Feline, Gnoll, Halfling, Squeak Speak, Wolfen.
- Favored Class: Ranger.
- Level Adjustment: +1

This is the Nissan Micra facelift scheduled to arrive later this year with a different front fascia.
This is the Nissan Micra facelift scheduled to arrive later this year with a different front fascia.
The current generation of the Nissan Micra came out in 2010 so it's time for a mid-life revision to keep it fresh. Shown in this spy photo is the March version (Latin America, Asia markets) as snapped by Pulsar-club.com forum member Mr. Favan while the supermini arrived at a shopping center in Thailand for promotional purposes.
The front fascia of the car boasts a new bumper, grille and headlights, while the chrome look of the company's badge is a reminder of the Extrem concept presented in 2012 at Sao Paolo Motor Show. Compared to the current Micra, the facelift brings more attractive fog lights which have been pushed to the corners.
The profile of the Micra has remained virtually unchanged, while at the back there's a new bumper and modified tail lamps. The interior cabin and engine lineup will probably be carried over with minimal tweaks.

NAME: Cristiana Mariani
COUNTRY: Italy
CITY: Foligno (Perugia)
NATIONALITY: Italian
BACKGROUND: Degree
ACTION/SECTOR: Politics and Government, Services
POSITION: Owner / President
My Background and Career
My journey began at high school when I realized that mathematics and science could be instruments of creative art.
Later, whilst studying law, I attended several courses of communication , visual arts and design.
Today I deal with design in the gold sector. Drawing has always been my passion and being able to do it as a full-time job is the realization of my dreams .
To be competitive in the sector, style and creativity are no longer enough. Indeed, nowadays specific studies and computer knowledges are essential in the field.
Since 2006 I have also dealt with the development of the territory of the Region of Umbria by organizing events and promotional events.
My Experience
The biggest challenge I have faced in my life was not related to my job, but was rather my desire to balance work, family and social commitment.
I was able to succeed due to my mental and physical commitment, as well as to the understanding and patience of my family.
The biggest goal that I achieved is to be proud for who I am and for what I do, despite the difficulties of a stressful and busy life and the weight of having to prove what I'm worth because I am also a woman, a wife, and a mother .
What allows me to end each day with a smile is my son's pride when reading my name on a project about our city, as well as being able to look in the mirror and still liking myself despite some gray hair and a few wrinkles.
My Skills
My skills have been especially the ability to look to the future with optimism, believing in my abilities and he never gave up my femininity to compete with men.

IBM has announced software and services designed to help organisations with 1,000 to 5,000 staff quickly and easily install tools to manage networks and standardise software development and delivery practices.
IBM packaged technology it acquired with Micromuse in 2006 into its Tivoli Network Manager IP Entry Edition. The software installs on a server and discovers network elements and helps IT managers understand the network capacity they have and what they will need to support new applications and services.
Using existing SNMP agents on managed devices, the software taps Micromuse technology, or Netcool fault management software, to pinpoint the source of performance problems or network failures, IBM says.
"This software is best-of-breed but can install quickly," says Michele Grieshaber, director of channel strategy for Tivoli.
Available now, Tivoli Network Manager IP Entry Edition costs US$35,000 and designed for companies with 1,000 to 5,000 employees.
From its Rational software group, IBM announced software to help developers build and deliver applications in a standard, repeatable and compliant fashion.
IBM Rational Build Forge Express Edition is based on software the company acquired with Build Forge in 2006 and works with the Rational software delivery platform.
The product helps teams developing applications standardize and automate repetitive tasks, manage compliance mandates and share information, which IBM says speeds application delivery processes. Scheduled to be available in mid-October, Rational Build Forge Express Edition is priced at US$49,000.
IBM, which has its Express Advantage range for what it calls SMBs -- in which it includes companies with 1,000 to 5,000 staff -- is looking to tap the growing market, Grieshaber says. The company reports in the first half of 2007 seeing a 12 per cent increase in sales of its Express Advantage products.
"Small to midsize is the fastest-growing segment of the market, and IBM sees the opportunity to provide these companies with technologies and innovation to meet their needs," she says.

Today, I'm going back to story telling. This is a short story from my book Shirley's Shorts and Flashes. I've decided to ebook publish on Amazon. I may put it in book form at a later time, just because I like to hold books. There is something about the smell of a book that you can't get from a Kindle. I hope you enjoy this nonfiction story. Have a blessed day.
I Found It
The day I found it, I knew beyond any doubt, He was real. That profound piece of knowledge was shown to me repeatedly through my life.
I am a mother of two children, now grown. I've been an RN for thirty-two years. Before I became a nurse, I spent years trying to survive and take care of my two young children as a single mom. I lived on food stamps and in public housing, and I hated every minute of it.
I'd always wanted to be a nurse and in fact started college right out of high school. I decided at that point I wanted my man, and put love above my education. I was married to my children's father for nine years. He decided he wanted to play. I'm a selfish woman, I don't share well. My marriage ended.
I lived in Vernon, Texas when my marriage ended. My parents lived in Oklahoma. Everything about my world crumbled around me. I didn't have a job, I had two small children, and I was an emotional wreck. I wasn't dealing with my failed marriage well. I had my children wanting their father, and my family telling me the children needed their daddy. I actually swallowed my pride and asked my husband to move back home. I met him at the door, when he moved back. He gave me a kiss and I knew with that kiss something was missing. His being home lasted four days. He couldn't stay away from his play toy. There was too much pain to handle. I packed up and moved back home to McAlester.
The subsidized housing we lived in was not bad, but the neighborhood could get rough. At that point, in time, which was in the mid 1970's I, felt as if I were the only caucasian in the complex. My apartment was broken into a couple of times and once I made the mistake of leaving my month's food stamps on the end table. They disappeared.
I rejoiced when I received a five-dollar increase in my welfare check. Every five dollars in my pocket helped. The rejoicing didn't last long. The housing authority raised my rent by six dollars a month. It was a losing battle. There was no way to win.
We never had enough money to buy the non-food items we needed, such as laundry soap, toilet paper, and dishwashing soap. Times got so bad, my children would go to a service station and steal toilet paper for us to use.
Towards the end of the month, we would run out of food. Weekends and summer were the hardest, because the kids didn't get their breakfast and lunch at school. I was blessed enough to have a mom and dad who let me and the kids come to their house for supper when we needed to. I felt like a failure from beginning to end. I couldn't do anything right. I was supposed to have stayed married, and raised my kids with both a mother and a father. Instead, I felt like a moocher, even though I know they didn't feel that way. The guilt I felt was eating me up.
I finally got enough of my mind back that I decided to go back to college and fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse. I couldn't continue to let my children live the way they were living. My mom was so supportive. She encouraged me every chance she got. She wanted me to get the education she'd always wanted for me. I had to be able to take care of my children and myself.
My uncle teased me about not needing an education, because I now had two diplomas, Allan and Stephanie. He'd tried to talk me out of quitting school to marry my kids father, but of course being young and in love I didn't listen.
Using Pell Grants, I moved to Wilburton and began college at Eastern Oklahoma State College. I made application to their nursing program and was accepted. The two-year program, which I took three to complete, was tough. I took all of my prerequisites one year and did nursing the next two years.
The kids and I lived in a two-bedroom house trailer on campus for the first year. I had a car but didn't drive much except to go back home to see mom and dad. Mom would usually give me money for the gasoline. The problem of living in Wilburton and being in school, I no longer qualified for food stamps, because I received too much money from the Pell Grant.
We still had to eat and pay bills, so I took a part time job at a local nursing home working as an aide. Since my family owned nursing homes, I was well qualified. I'd done everything from cooking in the kitchen to the laundry room. The down side to the job, it didn't pay much more than minimum wage, and I had to pay for day care. It didn't leave me much money. I worked whenever I could.
Through God's grace, we made it through the first year. Due to almost freezing to death in that trailer, I found a walk-up apartment I could afford to rent. The kids' day care was down the road from us about a block, and I could drop them off on my way to class without having to drive out of my way.
My second year of nursing school was the toughest. I couldn't work many hours because of my clinical schedule for school. It got to the point one time when there wasn't even milk for the kids in the refrigerator. I had nothing. I cried and I prayed and cried some more. I'd finally cried all the tears I could and I needed comfort.
Something made me pick up my Bible and I began reading in my favorite book of Isaiah. I felt comforted, as I always did. After my divorce, I slept with the Bible close to me. God was my comfort and my strength. When I turned, the page, what I saw astounded me. I began crying all over again, except this time with joy.
Stuck inside my Bible was a crisp, new twenty-dollar bill. I didn't put it there, which made it a miracle for me. It would let me buy food until my payday from work rolled around in a couple of days. I fell on my knees and began praising God. I knew then I didn't have anything to worry about because He was with me. You know what, He still is. I worry very little because I know God has my back. I have failed him many times, but He has never failed me.
Times remained hard while I was in school, but I received my nursing license and my world turned around. I know I made it through with God's help and the help of my family.

Security forces early Thursday ended an hours-long siege at a mall in the northern city of Kirkuk but not before militants killed nine people, security officials and medics said.
The attack Wednesday on the mall in the oil rich ethnic tinderbox city, which involved a car bomb and would-be suicide bombers, came amid a surge in unrest that has claimed more than 6,200 lives this year.
Attacks by militants were also launched Wednesday in Baghdad, Mosul, Tikrit and Fallujah, but the assault on the Jawaher Mall in Kirkuk was the deadliest.
A car bomb went off early afternoon in front of a branch of police intelligence, and was swiftly followed by a firefight between security forces and militants who were ostensibly trying to take over the security station.
As the clashes continued, gunmen, some of them wearing suicide vests, stormed the adjacent mall, took shoppers hostage and moved up the five-storey complex to the roof, from where they opened fire on security personnel who attempted to enter.
Violent mall
At around midnight, security forces finally stormed the mall, which contains more than 100 shops including stores specializing in women's fashion and cosmetics, as well as men's clothing and other goods.
They managed to release the 11 hostages unharmed, but security and medical officials said nine people were killed in the attack, including eight members of the security forces, while at least five militants were also shot dead.
The mall, which is popular with middle-class residents of the northern oil hub, lies in a neighborhood populated mostly by ethnic Turkmen.
Kirkuk has a mixed population of Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen.
It lies at the center of a swathe of territory stretching from Iraq's eastern border with Iran to its western frontier with Syria that Kurdish leaders want to incorporate into their autonomous region in the north over strenuous objections from the central government in Baghdad.
Poor communication
Militants often exploit poor communication between the Iraqi army and Kurdish security forces to carry out attacks in the city.
Attacks in Baghdad, Mosul, Fallujah and near Tikrit, killed three more people on Wednesday, officials said.
Officials have blamed the upsurge in violence to a resurgent al-Qaeda emboldened by the civil war in neighboring Syria, but the government has itself faced criticism for not doing enough to address the concerns of Iraq's disaffected Sunni Arab minority ahead of April elections.
Despite a near-ubiquitous security force presence in major cities nationwide, attacks have hit targets ranging from cafes and football grounds to military checkpoints and government vehicles, with more than 6,200 people killed so far this year, according to an AFP tally.
The violence has forced the authorities to appeal for international help in combatting militancy.

Tips for Finding 5 Parent & Teen Approved Outfits for Fall
Anyone with a teenage daughter knows that shopping for clothes can sometimes be a challenge. Finding clothing that is affordable, durable, appropriate, fits well and receives a teenager's seal of approval can test even the most experienced shopper. Unlike when my daughter was young and we could find her entire wardrobe at one store, shopping for teens involves more hunting. We will often visit one of her favorite stores and only be able to find more one or two items that either fits or is age appropriate. I'm excited to share some styles and tips with you today that have helped my daughter and I find common ground when we are updating her wardrobe. It has been fun watching her develop her own sense of style. For sizing reference my daughter is 13 years old, just under 5'4 and typically wears a girls size 16 or women's size xs.
Shopping Tips for Finding Parent & Teen Approved Styles
Buy on-trend prints in age appropriate styles. My daughter loved the cool camouflage print and I appreciated the fact that the shirt wasn't belly baring or oversized and sloppy. This ringer baby tee is lightweight enough for a warm fall day. Add a cozy cardigan once the temperature drops.
Add brand name accessories to complete an outfit. Accessories are one area of the teen market that tend to be reasonably priced. For example, this name brand bracelet pictured above is only $6.00. This scrunchie is part of a set of five and draws attention to the pretty mauve color stripe on the dress below. Accessories have the added bonus of being appropriate for a wide range of ages.
A pair of sneakers makes any outfit cooler. These sneakers can coordinate effortlessly with everything from a pair of jeans to a cute dress. I have even spotted them with cocktail dresses in Homecoming pictures. Sneakers are one of those items that you can apply the price per wear equation to when shopping for a teen. The amount of wear my daughter will get from these balances the higher price tag.
Buy on-trend styles in age appropriate cuts. Cropped shirts and sweaters are a huge trend this year. This sweater and this sweatshirt are a great compromise because both are cropped, but not belly-baring.
Look for name brand items at a discounted price. Can you believe I found these name brand jeans and olive jeggings (pictured above and below) on a recent trip to Costco for $13.00!!! Unfortunately, they are no longer available at Costco, but I found the same pair of olive jeggings here and a similar pair here for a reasonable price.
Teach your daughter to wear the clothes, not let the clothes wear her. I encourage my daughter to pick styles that highlight her beauty rather than just buy something because it's "cool". She demonstrated she had been listening when after a recent trip to the mall with friends, she came home with the top pictured below. We had seen a similar top on a prior shopping trip, but it had been cut much wider and wasn't flattering. She was so excited to find it in a slimmer fit and was quick to point out that although white tops tend to wash her out, this particular top had touches of green, blue and lavender that she could make pop by pairing it with her twill jacket or other colorful accessories.
I remember how important it was to feel like you fit in as a teen. We all remember those items that we simply had to have. For me it was an ESPRIT bag and guess jeans with the ankle zipper. There are a couple non-negotiable items in our home that our daughter is not allowed to wear yet. I have made a point to talk about why I don't feel comfortable with her wearing those items instead of just saying no. Sometimes she understands where I'm coming from and other times she thinks that I am being completely unreasonable. We aren't always going to see eye to eye on what is flattering or cute, but as long as she chooses clothing that is age appropriate, I will respect her fashion choices.
I also find that she is more willing to follow my advice if I listen to her advice concerning my own style choices. Sometimes I will invite my daughter and her friends to pick out my outfit for a night out or accessorize what I have already picked out. It's fun to get their input and they get a kick out of being my stylists. My Number #1 tip is to make the shopping experience as fun as possible, so that it will continue to be something you enjoy doing together for years to come instead of a point of contention.

If you're like me you've thought "What do I know about building a house? And even if I did have the knowhow, how the heck can I find the time to help?" "How can I really contribute Habitat's mission?"
Well, one way is to volunteer for Habitat's A Brush With Kindness (ABWK) program. ABWK volunteers work alongside homeowners to revitalize a home's exterior, including painting, minor repairs, landscaping, weatherization, and clean-up. (The program includes limited indoor work to address safety issues and small repairs.) Last year we did six ABWK projects, this year we hope to double that number. The need is there.
ABWK provides a win/win. It allows us to serve a greater number of needy homeowners in the community and it also provides Habitat valuable community "exposure". It allows homeowners, as well as potential Habitat volunteers, to see Habitat volunteers in action serving the community in-between our major home building and fundraising efforts.
You don't need building skills to participate either. If you can pick up a hammer, a paint brush, or hold a rake, you have all the skills needed for a typical ABWK project. And we are respectful of your time, too. We try to limit the length of the work day to four hours, usually on a Saturday morning, so you can still get your necessary chores and errands done. You can choose to volunteer as much or little as you want.
So next time you feel like you want to contribute, but don't see how, consider ABWK. For more information on ABWK, contact the Habitat office. I think you will be happy you did!
The ABWK initiative complements the core new home building program by helping low-income families, the elderly, and people with disabilities repair and preserve homes they already own and occupy. Those who receive assistance through the ABWK program must:
• Own the home
• Have a demonstrated need
• Meet income requirements
• Be willing to partner in the project
• Complete an application
• Repay a 0% interest loan for the costs incurred by Habitat
A typical Habitat project is short term. A group of volunteers works alongside the partner family to complete the work. HFH uses donated materials, if available, and makes no profit for its services. The following are examples of ABWK projects.
• Exterior scraping, caulking and painting
• Window and screen repair
• Porch, step, railings and ramp repair
• Door repair and replacement
• Non-routine landscaping (pruning, trimming, weeding, etc.)•
• Yard cleanup, brush and junk removal (1 time per home)
How we do it
• Habitat uses donated materials and takes no profit for their services.
• Payments made by the homeowners are placed in a revolving fund to help A Brush with Kindness serve others in need.
Why it matters
A Brush with Kindness ensures that families live in safe and well-maintained homes. The program is designed to revitalize the appearance of the neighborhood, encourage connections within the community, and most importantly, help preserve affordable housing stock.

Have a Quick Mustang? Want to Prove It on the Track?
The TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout is back! This competition of gear-banging drag racers will take place during the Nitto Tire NMRA World Finals from September 28-October 1, 2017, at the historic Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
To participate in the TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout, a vehicle must compete in the NMRA Street class and be equipped with a manual transmission. Only H-pattern shifted transmission-equipped cars are eligible, but modifications, such as face plating or pro gears, will be allowed. The transmission must be operated by a single shifter handle; transmissions with air/electric/hydraulic actuation or multiple shift levers will not be allowed.
The four quickest cars will be selected to compete in single-run eliminations in the Stick Shift Shootout. The winner will take home a brand-new TREMEC transmission of his/her choice.
"TREMEC has supported the NMRA All-Ford World Finals since 2000," said Steve Wolcott, CEO and co-founder of the NMRA. "TREMEC's Stick Shift Shootout is one more feature that makes the World Finals a must-attend event for any Mustang racer or fan. The opportunity for one lucky stick-shift True Street racer to take home a brand-new TREMEC transmission ensures wild action on the 1320."
What does the Bowling Green TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout have in store? It's anyone's guess, but there's no doubt it will be exciting! Will the 2017 Bradenton shootout winner, Anthony Heard, show up to take the title again? Will pushrod, modular or Coyote power put the winner in victory lane? Which TREMEC transmission will be in the winning car? We can't wait to find out!
TREMEC will also host a Racer Appreciation Party on the Saturday evening before the awards ceremony.
If you can't make it to the NMRA World Finals and Stick Shift Shootout in Bowling Green, check the TREMEC blog and Facebook page for updates and photos from the events.

Final documents released by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) list the Ahwatukee Foothills Village Planning Committee (AFVPC) as supporting the South Mountain Loop 202 Freeway, but the group says it never approved that recommendation and is now asking ADOT to correct those documents.
The AFVPC was asked, along with all members of the South Mountain Citizen's Advisory Team (SMCAT), to submit a final recommendation to build or not build the South Mountain Freeway. That recommendation should have been voted on by the entire group and submitted to ADOT by July 24.
The group never held an official vote during its public meeting in June or July, but did discuss the issue briefly when ADOT was on the agenda giving an explanation of the process. The AFVPC has always had a position of opposing the Pecos Road Alignment and has voted twice, once in 2006 and once in 2007, to oppose action on the Pecos Road Alignment.
Melanie Beauchamp, the AFVPC's representative on the SMCAT, said the only thing she submitted to ADOT, through its survey of SMCAT members, was a comment with no formal recommendation.
"There are mixed feelings in our Village," the comment from the AFVPC reads. "It appears, however, that most citizens have accepted that the freeway will be constructed. We are deeply concerned about our neighbors whose lives will be seriously disrupted by the process."
Beauchamp said this is not the first time the record has been wrong. She was not informed of the final SMCAT meeting and, therefore, was not present, but was listed as present in the original minutes. Those minutes were corrected when the mistake was pointed out.
Tim Tait, of ADOT, said because of the way the recommendations were collected, through an online survey, the mistake must have been made by the person filling out the form. City Councilman Sal DiCiccio's office has been working with the Planning and Development Department to get official documentation from the city stating there was no recommendation voted on. That documentation is necessary to correct the record.
"We have been in contact with the city about this matter, and they have indicated to us that they are looking into it," Tait said. "In order to change the record at this point, we will need some degree of formal correspondence from the city requesting that action and describing why.
"This is the only CAT organization that seems to have had trouble with the process."
The SMCAT was formed in 2002 to bring representatives from stakeholder groups along the proposed South Mountain Freeway route together to provide them with information and accept recommendations about the freeway. Their final recommendation is one of many factors that will be used by ADOT and the Federal Highway Administration when considering building the freeway.
While the AFVPC will not have a final recommendation listed, if and when the record is corrected, all other Ahwatukee groups, including the Ahwatukee Foothills Chamber of Commerce, have voted for a "no build" option. Out of 18 organizations that submitted a recommendation, 10 voted for "no build," seven voted for "build" and one, the Estrella Village Planning Committee, submitted no recommendation.
While individual group recommendations were recorded, the SMCAT as a whole will not have a final recommendation submitted to ADOT like it did when it voted on which western alignment to support in 2006. The SMCAT's recommendation at that time was not selected by ADOT.

My friend told me not long ago that he is using a Windows 7 build.. bla.. bla.. something.
When i asked him why he is using system that it's not complete release.
He told me that it's working way more better than vista.
So i wanna ask you everyone who ever used both OS :
1. Is it a true that Windows 7 is faster than Vista (x64) ?
2. Is there any sense to install that pre-release version and use it as the main OS ?
3. What about the compatibility issue - is it everything ok
example: mozzila , chrome, nero, games for vista and office ?
thanks in advance for all your replies, tips and hints.

Pumice stone is typically used as an abrasive these days thanks to its stronger performance on getting rid of dark, hardened, and ugly dirt or stains on bathtub, toilet bowl, or any other hard surfaces. Most importantly, it causes little damage to the finish when scrubbing and cleaning, which is also the very reason why pumice stones are widely used for feet to remove calluses or exfoliate skin. However, it is very difficult to imagine that pumice is also a Chinese herb, which is called Fu Hai Shi, literally translated as the stone that floats in the sea, and good at removing old phlegm and palpable abdominal mass.
What is a pumice stone?
Pumice rock refers to the hardened foam of lava, which forms during volcanic eruption. It mainly consists of cellular volcanic glass, occasionally with a small amount of crystalline minerals. But its chemical constituents are similar to rhyolite, mainly including SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, and so on.
When it comes to Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Fu Hai Shi has a broader meaning, including pumice (Fu Shi) and the dried skeleton of Costazia aculeata Canu et Bassler or Costazia costazii Audouin (Shi Hu), which mainly refers to the skeleton of Porites nigrescens and sometimes a few species of Acropora.
Pumice stones are in the shape of irregular lumps, and slightly oblateness or oblong. They are not of uniform size and with a slightly flat base. They are off-white or pale yellow and with many small pores. They are hard and brittle, easily broken, and with rough cross section. They are so lightweight that they can float in the water. They have a slightly fishy odor and slightly salty flavor. Medicinally the preferred one should be intact, lightweight, off-white, and with globular branches.
Pumice stones health benefits
Natural pumice stone is generally made of silicate of aluminum, potassium, and sodium, as well as chlorine, magnesium and other substances. And the chemical constituents of Shi Hu are mainly CaCO3 and a small amount of magnesium, zinc, iron, aluminum and other elements.
Modern pharmacological actions
1. Clinical studies showed that this herb could promote the excretion of urine;
2. It can eliminate bronchial secretions;
3. It can reduce inflammation.
How to use a pumice stone in herbal formulas?
On the basis of TCM theories, it is salty in taste and cold in properties. It covers meridians of lung and kidney. Its basic functions are clearing lung and eliminating phlegm and softening hardness to dissipate stagnation. Primary pumice stone uses and indications include phlegm-heat cough, goiter and tumor, abscess, and so on. Recommended dosage is from 9 to 15 grams in decoction, or in powder or pills. In terms of using a pumice stone to its greatest health benefits, here are some proven experiences from those famous TCM herbalists.
Hai Fu Shi Hua Shi San
This formula comes from Yi Xue Cong Zhong Lu (Medicine for the Large General Population). It is an important formula for asthma in children, all wind-damp cough, dryness-heat cough, asthma due to excessive phlegm, and more. Other herbal ingredients are Hua Shi (Talcum Powder), Xing Ren (Apricot Seed), Bo He (Mentha), and Bai Bu (Stemona Root).
Hai Jin San
Hai Jin San comes in two different versions from Ren Zhai Zhi Zhi Fang (Effective Recipes from Renzhai House). The first one, combining with Gan Cao (Licorice Root), is a formula mainly designed for bloody stranguria and difficulty and pain in micturition. The second one is mainly formulated for hernia and constriction of the penis and sebaceous cyst on penis shaft. Other herbs are Mu Tong (Akebia Caulis), Deng Xin Cao (Rush Pith), Chi Fu Ling (Sclerotium Rubrum Poriae Cocos), and Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber).
Shen Xiao San
Shen Xiao San comes from Lei Zheng Pu Ji Ben Shi Fang (Classified/Indexed General Treatment formulae). This is a prescription exclusively designed for thirst and drinking water all the time. Other ingredients are Ge Fen (Clam Shell Powder), Chan Tui (Cicada Moulting), and Ji Yu Dan (Maesa perlarius).
Qi Lao Dan
Qi Lao Dan, Fu Hai Shi (pumice) and Mo Yao (Myrrh), is from Pu Ji Fang (Prescriptions of Universal Relief). It is usually used for boils, carbuncle on the back, and malignant sores.
Mo Yao San
Mo Yao San is also from Prescriptions of Universal Relief. This is a prescription that is basically for pus under the ear. Other two herbs are Myrrh and She Xiang (Navel Gland Secretions of Musk Deer).
Potential pumice stone side effects and contraindications
In terms of TCM, pumice stone is inadvisable in case of deficiency-cold cough.

Health And Beauty Matters is an authorized seller of Pet Alive products.
The urinary system
The urinary system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, two sphincter muscles and a urethra. These organs, tubes and muscles filter out excess fluids and waste products from the bloodstream, which is then expelled as urine. A pet experiencing difficulties in this system may experience discomfort—and problems left unaddressed can result in more severe health issues.
Herbal and homeopathic remedies have proven to be highly effective in the managing urinary-related problems. Because these remedies contain natural ingredients they are safe and gentle to use for your pet without the risk of negative side effects.
The natural way
Combined with natural remedies, there are many ways you can help support bladder and urinary tract health in your pet.
- Make sure that your dog or cat has outdoor breaks every few hours and avoid letting them hold urine in too long.
- Give your pet plenty of fresh, clean water daily to flush out unwanted toxins and avoid dehydration.
- Feed your pet a high quality, low pH or natural diet without preservatives, colorants or additives to boost the immune system.
- Ensure good hygiene by bathing your pet regularly, in particular female pets, as their urethra is very short and as a result bacteria infects the bladder very quickly.
- Ensure that your pet gets adequate exercise to stimulate the bladder.
- Keep more than one litter box in your home for your cat and make sure that they are always clean.
What is UTI-Free?
UTI-Free is a safe, non-addictive 100% natural homeopathic remedy registered with the FDA and formulated especially for pets to relieve frequent urination, bladder discomfort and urinary tract problems in both dogs and cats.

"I feel like this is a miracle! My 14 year old cat has battled [this] since at least 2004. I have made at least 2 trips a year… This last January and February were the worst experiences of all… Desperate, I thought of looking for a holistic vet knowing that I would be investing well over $100 (on top of the hundreds I'd already spent) and time was of essence! I found your website and after reading about UTI-Free along with the testimonials, I had a bottle shipped overnight. I cannot believe the change in my cat... within a day! She is back to eating, playing and urinating regularly. Her coat is the softest I've felt in months... I am SO GRATEFUL and will be ordering more soon.."
—Dianne, NY, USA
"I was tempted to write my testimonial 5 hours after I started my 3-year-old male cat on UTI-Free. But I thought maybe I should wait just to be certain. Well, let me tell you, IT WORKS! Poor Milo had been fighting … I keep him on the maintenance dose now. His problem began from stress when we adopted 2 feral cats and since they're not exactly friends yet, I worry that he could relapse without the UTI-Free. So, here we are 4 weeks later and no problems. So, if you're desperately reading through the testimonials, wondering if they are true or not and trying to decide if you should take a chance on the product, all I can say is that it worked for us when nothing else did. Thanks PetAlive!!"
— Amy K., PA, USA
"I am totally amazed! We went to a holistic vet and I found UTI-Free. He told us it was safe to try it for our five year old bloodhound mix. Thank you so much for helping my sweet girl!"
—Paula, Oregon
"I found UTI-Free online while frantically searching for a natural remedy for my 8 year old cat Lucky. After reading your testimonials, I ordered UTI-Free and had it shipped overnight so I could start giving it to her right away. Within 3 days, I could tell that she was feeling better-- she had stopped howling and dragging her back legs along the floor and was beginning to use her litterbox normally again. She is now back to her normal, playful self! Thank you so much for this product; I will recommend it to anyone who is worried about their cat…!"
—Patti, NC, USA
"UTI-Free saved our cat's life… I immediately called a homeopathic vet that directed me to your site for UTI-Free. I had it shipped overnight… Over the next day, he began urinating again in bits. By day 3, he was urinating normally again and started to play again. By day 5, still continuing UTI-Free, my cat's energy was back up to normal and he was feeling 100%. I continued …into week 2. It's now 3 weeks later since he was not feeling well and I do not know how to thank you enough for your product!! THANK YOU! I am now giving this to my cat 2x a week as a preventative measure for his health. Our family trusts your products. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
— Deena, FL, USA
"I have an 8 year old black lab and her name is Tashia. I have had her since she was 3 weeks old and she is my source of joy. Although she has had many health problems the [urinary tract problems] she has been going through was almost the end of my best friend. All the meds she was getting from the vet just was not fighting [it] and so through research I found your product and tried it. Within 24 hours my baby was running around the yard and more active then she had been in months. I am so grateful for your product UTI-Free because I truly believe this is what saved my baby. I can not express to you the feelings I feel just having her still here with me and knowing it had to be the UTI-Free that made this possible. Thank you from every bit of my heart! It really made a difference!"
—Cindy Wamer, TX, USA
"My three year old female cat became completely stressed out when I introduced a new male kitten into our home, within a few weeks she was running to all the litter boxes and urinating, she was eating fine but always growling at the new intruder and just being really intolerant towards him… she then began to urinate in the bathtub, it was then that I noticed it was bloody. I paid an online vet and told her about the cat and also told her about UTI-Free and asked whether I should try that first. The online vet agreed that she would try UTI-Free first… THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU… a very sincere thank you to whomever invented this product… before spending thousands at the vet… try this first!!!!… Also, this cat is extremely hyper and she gives me not one bit of resistance when I administer a pinch into her mouth… so either the taste is pleasant or she realized it was helping her feel better… I now give it daily to both of my cats… thank you again… happy meow!!"
— Jen, NJ, USA
