You Give Me Fever!
Like most of you, I think I have spring fever and am in the mood for a change. I have been thinking about what change I want. Since I spend most of my time in the quilt room I'm going to move it around. Just moving items around can give you a sense of fresh and new. I wish that I had the money to get a new sewing table like this one from Arrow called Bertha Oak. Don't you just love the name?
Her measurements are 84x40x35.5". Now that's a big girl. Does anyone else out there know about or own an arrow cabinet? How can they sell theirs cheaper than other company's? I wish we had a place in town I could go see this set up. It does come with a one year warranty though.
Here are some before pictures of my quilting room. I have not taken the time to clean it. You are seeing MESS, dust and all. Click on any picture for a larger view.
Here is my FQ stash. I think the TV and filling cabinet are going to go. They're taking up space that I could use for something else. Would you look at all the bits of thread on that floor. Someone needs to run a vacuum in this room. Maybe that someone is me.
This item used to be the center island for my kitchen, but since I never spend anytime in there I moved it into the quilt room and use it as my cutting table. It's just the right height and size for a large cutting mat. I love it. Just have to clean the piles of junk out from under it.
My old style teachers desk that I found at a junk store for $20 that I use as my sewing table. I wish it was bigger like Bertha. This way I would not have to move the sewing machine out to the dinning room table to quilt my tops. The ironing board is the super large size I found at Wal-mart. I was just not happy with the smaller size ones. You'll also find the thread holder my father made sitting on the desk. There is that thread I was looking for right there on the floor! Now how did that get there?
Seeing how there was no other spot in the apartment for this 150 year old dresser that once belonged to my great grandmother and that my father restored, it just had to go in the quilt room. I now store fabric in it. The fabric chicken is one my grandmother made that I would carry around as a child. I have a picture of me and the chicken at the age of 4 that I will scan and share with you at a later date.
My computer desk that I found along the side of the road. It's top was split in two, but that was easy to fix and then painted it red. I think it use to be a vanity table. Yes, there are even FQ in the pull out drawers. Was just looking at the FQ in there and found an orange that I could have used in the OP quilt and some old bloom fabric.
I think I am going to arrange the room in a u-shape with the computer and sewing machine across from each other and the ironing board at one end. I am also thinking of adding on to the teachers desk with an extension leaf that will fold down when not in use.
I hope to get this done on my next couple of days off. I will post "after" pictures.

I have an Arrow cabinet...not as large as the one you showed...and I love it. I think mine opens out to around 64 inches. I got mine a few years back and got it in white so it would look fine when closed up in the bedroom where it "lives" amongst the white furniture that my granddaughters use when they are here. Nice thread-holder and the refinished dresser is lovely!ReplyDelete
I need to send you my Partner!! He is fantastic at organsiing spaces, :o) promise to send him back!!!!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see what you do, and that special pic you promised!
I love that cabinet- I'm going to have to look up the company...ReplyDelete
great sewing areas- mess and all :)

I was in my mid-twenties before I could vote in an election. As an Indian expatriate, I was forced to sit out agonizingly lively campaigns in both the U.S. and Canada, before becoming a Canadian citizen. I've voted with a vengeance ever since.
My son will have a very different memory of his first vote: He cast his first ballot this morning at age 4, after I yanked him out of junior kindergarten to accompany me to the polling station 100 m away. He didn't get a ballot, of course, but he stepped into the polling booth and used the Elections Canada-issued pencil to scrawl in his choice on a piece of card-stock paper I supplied. (Spoiler alert: Orange is his favourite colour.) When the good-humoured volunteers allowed him to drop his ballot in the box, it was a thrilling moment for him.
It's a moment every kid should have. We bemoan the apathy of voters aged 18 to 24. Here's a simple fix: Don't wait till they're 18.
That idea is gaining traction. Lots of elementary- and high-school students already get to vote via the Student Vote program, a partnership between Elections Canada and the civic organization Civix. Across the country, 7,500 schools have signed on—"more than half of all schools in Canada, and more than we've ever had participating before," says Dan Allan, the program's research and communications coordinator. Student Vote organizes a parallel student election, as well as seminars, a student poll that assembled a list of questions for the federal leaders, and, this year, an entertaining meme war, thanks to the enterprising Grade 7 and 8 students of Aaron Warner, a teacher at Douglas Park Elementary School in Regina. (One clever entry used an image of the "interesting man" from the Dos Equis commercials, with the text: "I don't always vote NDP, but when I do . . . it's never.") After election day, Student Vote posts the results—which, incidentally, aren't far off from the actual election results; in 2011, students voted in the Conservatives (with 130 seats) followed by the NDP (113 seats) and the Liberals (47). The group has worked on 26 elections to date—every federal campaign since 2004, notes Allan, and many provincial and municipal races, too.
That's impressive. But it's still some schools, and some elections. There's no reason we shouldn't also make voting by children a routine part of every election—federal, provincial and municipal. It can cost as little as the price of placing a children's ballot box in every polling station. These votes don't even have to be enumerated, as they are in Student Vote programs, whose aim is more ambitious. What matters here is the exercise of showing up at the polling station, and casting a vote, that simple act that 41.5 per cent per cent of adult Canadians didn't seem to manage in the last federal election.
We could also learn something from the #TakeAGirlToVote initiative, which lit up Twitter all day. There were selfies, photos and effervescent tweets from women—and lots of men—who took their daughters with them to the polls, perhaps deciding that even if it hasn't been a great election for women, it can be one that girls will remember. Daorcey Le Bray, communications adviser to Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, was there with his daughter. Darlene McLeod, a designer and self-professed home-schooler, took two girls to her Ottawa polling station. One voter—Elaine Allen, who also happened to be the Conservative candidate for Vancouver Centre—borrowed a neighbour's kid for the occasion. Another, Calgary writer and artist Tamara Lee, took her daughter for ice cream after, "because Pavlov."
The #TakeAGirlToVote project is a wonderful initiative from Equal Voice, the Ottawa-based organization with the aim of driving up the numbers of women working in government. It makes simple sense: Get girls involved in the process early, and they'll be more likely to remain engaged with politics.
We should borrow a page from their playbook. Even while we encourage girls—a mandate that requires all the support it can get—we should also aim broader. After all, while the gender gap in government is wide, young men aren't any more engaged than young women: Voting rates for men aged 18 to 24 in the 2011 federal election were actually slightly lower, at 37 per cent, versus 41 per cent.
Getting kids voting may even drive up engagement among adult voters. The enthusiasm was certainly infectious on Twitter—not to mention at Thanksgiving dinner in our household, which included an energetic discussion of voting preferences, led by a four-year-old. "Nobody is voting for Stephen Harper," he pronounced, reporting on the proportions of signs in our neighbourhood. He knows the names of the leaders, and the name of his candidate, at least. Let's set up a kiddie ballot box, and I bet all his friends will vote, too. #GiveKidsTheVote.

When I was invited to sample the new fish menu at Hard Rock Cafe in Lahaina, I thought the best way to compare their fish dishes to all the other ones on Maui would be to bring a dining companion who doesn't like fish. If Hard Rock can win over this seafood-averse diner, I thought, then they just might have something to brag about.
The small "local fresh fish" menu is not nearly as extensive as the regular menu. The focus is on only four preparations of fish: taco, fajita, sandwich and steak. Prices range from $16 to $25. Of course I failed to mention to my dining companion that we would be eating only fish. When the menu arrived he frowned and gave me that all-too-familiar sigh that friends give when forced to do something they don't want to do.
The fish taco is comprised of mahi mahi and all the favorite taco toppings. It was refreshing to have the fish arrive grilled instead of the heavily battered, deep-fried serving I typically experience with a fish taco. Hard Rock's seafood comes from Oahu, but my server tells me the restaurant is in negotiations to start getting fish from Maui waters. The mahi taco tastes fresh without any of that saltwater, seafood-y flavor that turns most fish haters away. The clean smell and spicy rub applied to the fish did not go unnoticed by my dining companion either. One whiff of the taco set his mind at ease and he dove in.
The first bite was met with some uncertainty, as he swished it around his mouth for awhile. After the second bite he sheepishly admitted that it wasn't bad at all. This was a good sign, but the mahi is heavily marinated in a rub that you would find in a chicken taco, so I was anxious for him to taste something a little more "fishy."
When ordering the catch of the day, Hard Rock offers the option of mahi or ahi tuna. A fleshy, pink 8-ounce tuna steak sounded divine and I asked that the chef simply sear the outsides instead of cooking it through. While I knew this would be a challenge for my dining companion—sans the seaweed it might as well have been sushi—but he agreed to the gastronomical double-dog dare.
Fished year-round in Hawaii, one can spot a good piece of tuna by its bright red pigmentation; the flesh is firm and the fish is not too watery. Hard Rock's tuna steak…well, rocked. The charred grill marks on the outside are a nice balance to the cool, plump center that didn't retain too much water. Topped with meltingly delicious merlot garlic butter, it was the perfect combination of flavors that helped give this fish some bite. Served with two scoops of rice and snap peas, this is a healthy dish, made even healthier by forgoing the butter for a wedge of lemon.
I'd like to say I enjoyed every ounce of Hard Rock's catch of the day, but by the time I finished taking notes on the dish my dining companion had devoured the entire plate. I looked at him in shock—but what could he say with a mouth full of fish?
In short: for uncertain seafood eaters, Hard Rock's new fish menu has enough of the familiar stuff to get past the idea of fish. Meanwhile, or fish lovers, these dishes are clean, fresh and beckon for seconds—much like the beautiful waters they come from. MTW

The 'Three Crowns' (Tre Kronor) gleam above the City Hall of Stockholm, a civic space which annually hosts the Nobel Prize banquet. PHOTO: Werner Nystrand/imagebank.sweden.se
Welcome to Stockholm!
The Publishing Prize follows the lead of several international awards events in hosting its ceremony in Stockholm. What is the nature and attraction of this city, and why might you want to come?
Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, and home to one in five of Sweden's 10 million inhabitants. A leading centre for finance and corporate headquarters, Stockholm combines beauty, culture and business, and generates a third of Sweden's GDP. The infrastructure includes the world's longest fibre-optic network (1.2 million km, with 100% of public housing connected), and a 100-station metro system which has been called the world's longest art gallery!
'Venice of the North'
Stockholm was founded as a city in 1252, on an easily defended group of mid-stream islands. The old city (Gamla Stan) is a favourite with visitors with its quaint alleyways, cobbled streets, and iconic architecture. This is the home of Stockholm's Lutheran cathedral, the Nobel Museum, the Royal Palace, the Parliament House, and many other historic buildings including churches, mansions and palaces. And nice cafés!
As Stockholm expanded over 14 islands and onto the north and south shores, it gained many fine baroque buildings – especially in the seventeenth century, when Sweden became a regional superpower. The imposing City Hall (picture above) with its red brick tower is the venue for the annual Nobel Prize banquet, hosting about 1,300 people, including the Royal Family.
Things to do and see
There is plenty to do and see in Stockholm. Popular with locals and visitors alike is Skansen, a 75-acre open-air museum on a city centre island, with 150 old Swedish houses and buildings, brought together and rebuilt on site. In a replica of a 19th century town centre, re-enactors demonstrate crafts such as baking, shoemaking and printing. An open-air zoo specialises in Scandinavian animals including lynx, wolves, reindeer and of course the moose, which in Sweden is called an 'elk' (älg).
Not far from Skansen and on the same island you will find the Vasa Museum, the most visited museum in Scandinavia. It displays the warship Vasa, which sank in 1628 on her maiden voyage and was salvaged almost intact in 1961. 'ABBA: The Museum' is nearby, with interactive exhibits about the chart-storming music group. There are many other museums and galleries in Stockholm, of which 19 have free entry.
For more information about visitor attractions, see
City of international prizegiving
Stockholm is host to several prestigious awards ceremonies each year. Apart from The Publishing Prize there are these …
The Nobel Prizes: Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, left the fortune he made to fund annual prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Economic Sciences, and Literature.
Right Livelihood Award: This is awarded annually to honour people who have brought forward practical answers to urgent human and environmental problems. http://www.rightlivelihoodaward.org/
Polar Music Prize: Founded by ABBA's manager Stig Anderson, this 'Nobel Prize of Music' honours one contemporary and one classical music individual or organization each year.
The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA): In memory of the children's author and creator of the character 'Pippi Longstocking', this richly funded annual prize from the Swedish Arts Council goes to authors and illustrators of literature for children and young adults.

Conrad Taylor is a writer and designer who lives in London, but has made numerous visits to Sweden and Stockholm. He was for many years a juror in a UK publications award similar in aims to The Publishing Prize.

Stunning graffiti mural commemorates fallen soldiers and centenary of First World War
PUBLISHED: 08:55 30 October 2018 | UPDATED: 09:32 01 November 2018
A touching mural dedicated to the lives lost in the First World War has appeared on the side of a Thetford pub.
For four years graffiti has been painted on the side of the pub to commemorate major events, with this year, the centenary of the armistice and the end of the First World War, proving additionally poignant.
The artwork, on the wall of the Black Horse pub on Magdalen Street, shows Lord Kitchener, Winston Churchill and the lone soldier above a field of poppies.
Lee Stroble, 44, who has lived in Thetford for five years and works at the Skin Styles tattoo studio, is the artist behind the work.
Working through chilly October days and in his own free time, he creates beautiful murals covering the entire wall of the pub using stencils and freehand painting.
Mr Stroble said: "Every year we do a different piece. Because it is the centenary we wanted Kitchener in there, the lone soldier always seems to work and Churchill because he is such a part of British history.
"You have to pay homage to all the people and it has had fantastic feedback. People hear the word graffiti and they panic but it is nice to do something for the community and the town."
He added: "It is an honour to do it at the end of the day. I'm incredibly proud and I take pride in what I do because these guys laid their lives down for us. It's a cheesy thing to say but it is from the heart.
"Just even one person walking by and taking a photo, if I can stop one person just to get their attention, that's payment enough.
"This is just a hobby, I just love art and this is my main passion."
Terry Gillman, 50, owns the Black Horse pub with his wife Pam, 56, and says he is extremely proud to have the mural on the wall of his pub.
He said: "I'm extremely proud. It has become a thing over the last few years, every year there is a new theme and Lee always comes up trumps with a fantastic piece every time.
"I just like to give something back. It is a very special year but we look upon it as being special every year. It's educating, kids don't know about it and it is all about educating people more than anything."

Muni just can't catch a break. Even when it has the opportunity to boast about something good — dozens of snazzy new biodiesel-electric hybrid buses and a bus driver with a great head on her shoulders — something goes wrong.
The Monday dedication of the new buses seemed to be perfect. The weather was warm and sunny and the setting — at Pier 48, just across McCovey Cove from AT&T Park — was picturesque. Mayor Ed Lee gave a speech, as did some other city officials, in front of one new bus while two others sat ready to carry guests on an inaugural ride to City Hall.
Lee then honored Felicia Anderson, a 14-year Muni driver who last week acted quickly when someone was shot aboard the 19-Polk. Anderson not only drove the full bus to safety but took the wounded rider, who was only grazed by a bullet, to San Francisco General Hospital, just blocks away.
On that high note, Lee, joined by Transportation Director Ed Reiskin, other city officials and the media, climbed aboard one of the buses for a carefree ride to City Hall. But after showing off some of the bus' new features, the driver couldn't get the bus to budge.
Embarrassed MTA officials scrambled to figure out the problem and get the bus in gear as Lee sat near the back door, waiting patiently or not-so-patiently, like many a Muni rider on many a Muni ride. Then Reiskin used the brand new public address system, which seemed to work well, and directed everyone to board the other waiting bus.
That bus started right up and safely made the trip to City Hall without any intermediate stops or malfunctions. Chagrined Municipal Transportation Agency officials attempted to put the best face on the situation.
"You all get an A-plus for the emergency drill," John Haley, transit director cracked as the bus pulled up in front of City Hall.
Paul Rose, an agency spokesman, said the problem was quickly diagnosed as a problem with the backdoor sensors, which insisted the door was open when it was not. The problem was quickly and easily fixed, he said, and shouldn't be viewed as a looming problem for the new buses.
"Rest assured, our passengers will not have to deal with this issue out on the roads," he said.
The agency has received about 20 of the new buses, manufactured in Minnesota by New Flyer Industries. The rest of the 62 will roll into San Francisco over the next six weeks. They'll replace the oldest diesel buses in the Muni fleet, the big old white buses with the famous Muni "worm" emblem on the sides.
The buses will run throughout the Muni system starting this week on the 9 lines. Muni's entire bus fleet is scheduled to be replaced over the next five years.
Aside from the low-floor, with a split-level seating configuration, the most noticeable thing about the new buses was the lack of graffiti and the new bus smell, which is kind of like a new-car smell, only more expansive.
Soon, of course, they'll acquire that old bus smell — that unique Muni fragrance that blends the aromas of urine, vomit, sweat, spilled beer and "companion animals" ranging from iguanas to pit bulls not to mention the live chickens and fish.
The buses, which cost $752,000 each, are outfitted with graffiti-resistant materials and the floors are made of a composite material that won't absorb, uh, liquids. They've also got nine security cameras, three times as many as current buses, that are capable of being monitored remotely.
As for the back doors, they open when the bus is stopped with the touch of a hand to the door. With any luck, they'll close appropriately and allow the driver to proceed to the next stop.

School-based mental health clinicians : an exploration of supervision, professional development and training, and job satisfaction

School-based mental health is a rapidly growing field and many youth receive mental health services in the school setting. However, there is little information on the practice of school-based mental health; and even less on the providers of these services. This quantitative study examined the work demographics, supervision, training, and job satisfaction of 175 school-based mental health providers from the fields of social work, psychology, and education. The participants answered an online survey that included the Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985) and three self developed instruments. In contrast to existing literature on supervision in school-based mental health, this study found that almost half of the participants received regular and formal supervision. Participants reported being highly satisfied with supervision stating they felt supported, encouraged, and recognized by their supervisor. Findings also demonstrated that providers are dissatisfied with the options for training in school-based mental health. Additionally, many participants reported not receiving specific training in their graduate programs or orientations from their employers. While findings suggest that the majority of participants are satisfied in their positions, they also report a lack of perceived promotional opportunities, job security, and manageable workloads. Differences and similarities of the findings by degree and years of experience are included. Recommendations for graduate schools and employers include retaining talented schoolbased mental health providers and providing standards for the field of school-based mental health.

Hard to resist such a fabulous well fitting dress in beautiful material. The design is so flattering. Once I tried it on in store
I knew it was perfect for many occasions.
The dress is great, very comfortable and nice. However, the price for this certain dress is too pricy, I would say...
From the moment I put it on I was in love with this dress, it's so comfy and looks amazing on. I'm have a 68cm/27inch waist and normally wear a 10 but sized down to an 8 and happy I did!
This is a fantastic dress, good amount of stretch and a great length. I wore my Collectif shirt in the same fabric too death so I'm very happy to have it in a dress.

My 2013 was on steelies and winter tires. Had an irreparable flat last fall on summers, so switched to winters and drove on those until my return a few weeks ago.
Ricepoint rep at the dealer asked me a couple of times if I had the original rims. I said no. He said it shouldn't be a problem. He was actually great.
The problem came when he uploaded photos of the car to Ricepoint. I was put on the phone and asked about the rims, if I had them. I told them I didn't. I was then told it was considered stripping the car and that I would have to wait up to 72 hours for a decision. I was taking the trade-in option and picking up a new VW at the dealer, insurance and plate switch transfer for that day already arranged. To add to it, I was flying out of town the next day for a week. Ricepoint appointments are only once a week at this dealer so it would be at least 2 weeks for another.
Nobody was happy, including the local Ricepoint rep (he wasn't a problem). We tried escalating the decision to get it done. Ricepoint on the phone said the delay was because VW needed to make a decision, which was complete bullshit. It was Ricepoint's decision. If it was VW, why would they get picky about the used rims, esp when they were about to keep a VW customer, despite their scandal, with a new sale.
In the end, the 'decision' was made after about 2 hours with no penalty, just frustration.

When we decided to turn the Metal as Fuck spotlight on bands without a record deal, we originally envisaged giving a leg up, profile-wise, to some young up-and-coming artists, maybe even bringing them to the attentions of labels looking for young talent. But that's only one side of the areas we were looking at highlighting, and Greek black metal act Lord Impaler neatly represent that other side, where bands function perfectly well without succumbing to the machine. I had a chat with band mainman Tragon about the band's long, sometimes difficult journey...
Greetings Tragon. Tell us a bit about your role within Lord Impaler. "I am vocalist and lyricist of the band. I also handle our PR, code our websites and create graphics for the band".
Who else is in the band? "Lord Nebulah (guitars and sound engineering on our recordings), Phlegethon (bass), Nodens (drums) and Aenaon (guitars)".
And how long have you been together as a going concern? "Sixteen years".
Blimey, that's a pretty good innings by anyone's standards. How many releases have you put out in that time? "We have released 4 demos (The Lord Impaler in1999, Twilight Wander which came out in 2001, Promo in 2005 and Demo in 2009), a 4-way vinyl split (The Ascending Novelty, 2008) plus a full length album (Admire the Cosmos Black, 2011) and a digital EP (Babylon Whore, 2013) which was later made available in physical CD as a split with another Greek band".
So, reasonably prolific then. Being that you've been extant as a band for so long, you'll appreciate better than most that the nature of being 'unsigned' has changed over that period. How important do you think record companies are in today's modern world of social media et cetera? "Record companies managed to render themselves irrelevant. After the music model shifted they are too scared to take any risks. They now require –even train- us to be able to sell thousands of records before they sign a band, but then what use are they for a band that can produce a record, market it and sell a few thousand copies by themselves?".
Good question, and a question that more and more bands seem to be finding the answer to in their own self-sufficiency! To extend that topic a little further, how important is any of the 'traditional' impedimenta of the record industry in 2014? Are band managers, distro companies, merch companies and PR reps just other means by which a band can lose money or does each separate part of the machine still have something to offer the unsigned band? "It really depends on where exactly you stand as a band. For a band that tours the world a manager is sure going to help keep track of everything. For a band that releases music often, a PR firm is sure going to make a difference in building a campaign. These are now mostly building blocks that you can tailor to your needs, not the one and only goal that being signed to a label used to be 20 years ago".
An interesting angle to take. Given that you yourself handle the band's PR, what would you say have been the most effective means of spreading the Lord Impaler message to a wider audience? "Music reviews created the most impressive spikes of traffic for us".
So organs such as Metal as Fuck still have a part to play in the brave new world? Hallelujah! What about the least effective method's you've found? "I would say either our twitter feed or posters. I cannot decide which performs worse!"
You manage yourselves, how much time in every week do you spend engaged in the rather dull, non-playing activities that band managers love so much? "When we don't have any particular news items to work on we spend around 10-15 hours on mail correspondence, handling orders and PR. When we release new music this usually goes around 40 hours a week".
40 hours a week! That's more than a full time job these days in many places... Don't let anyone tell you being in a band is all fun. Although I suspect you knew that already! Now, here's an opportunity to let our readers in on what you are up to at the moment - plug away! "We are currently mixing an anniversary EP for the 15 years since the release of our very first demo recording. It is called The Serpent Seal and contains re-recordings of 4 songs from our demo era. Right after we release this EP we are going to begin recording our second full length album In Full Regalia which contains 8 songs of total duration around 45 minutes".
Where can people learn more about the band? "The main source of information is our website at http://www.lordimpaler.com/ where you can read our story, check out our releases, buy our merchandise and also find links to all other online outposts we maintain (Bandcamp, Facebook, Soundcloud and so on).
That'll keep people busy for a while, thanks. Anything further to add for our readers? "Lord Impaler are here to stay!Thanks for your time. Keep the black flame burning".

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 microSD slot is in the discussion since the launch of Samsung Galaxy S6, well the reason is very simple. S6 lacks the microSD slot and it was very disappointing, for more memory version people have to pay more. Well, Samsung had a reason that Galaxy S6 internal memory was that faster, it can't be synced with present microSD latest generation, but after few months of S6 there was a happy news, Samsung would definitely bring Galaxy Note 5 microSD slot. But now things are going in another direction, we can still call it as a leak but internal news reveals that we would not see Galaxy Note 5 microSD card slot, hence you won't able to expand memory.
Are you sad, as Galaxy Note 5 microSD slot lacks? Well, expanding memory is not all you required, Samsung is going to stuff the latest and fastest hardware which is not even available to other manufacturers, so in the war of Galaxy Note 5 with other phones, Note 5 wins with a great gap,
on another hand, few rising manufacturer like OnePlus and Xiaomi are ready to take benefits from the high-end cost for the beast like Note 5.

Datacap and Vantiv IP add US EMV support for the Equinox L5200 and L5300
Chalfont, PA – February 1, 2017 – Datacap Systems, a leading integrated payments middleware provider, has completed US EMV level 3 certification with Vantiv Integrated Payments for the EMV-enabled L5200 and L5300 from Equinox Payments. Point of Sale providers who have integrated to Datacap's industry-standard NETePay™ for semi-integrated payments now have plug and play access to the Equinox L5200 and L5300 – in addition to existing EMV-certified PIN Pad options from Ingenico and Verifone.
The third EMV-capable release of NETePay for Vantiv Integrated Payments is certified to utilize the Equinox hardware supporting Point to Point Encryption, EMV, MSR, PIN and NFC contactless transactions.

As support for more devices are added via on-going processor certifications, Point of Sale partners gain immediate access without requiring additional development or certification.

Exploring the unique artistic potential of each and every student is my greatest joy. From classical to pop, we will find your voice!
Kristen Princiotta
There is nothing I love more than helping a student find their own unique voice within. Voice lessons may serve the purpose of working on the technical basis of singing, but, at the end of the day, the reason we sing is to express from the heart and soul!
Melissa Sondhi
Vocal Coaching is an art, connecting with the student, supporting their vocal and musical development, pushing them to grow all while having fun singing together! Our team is a true family, driven to be the absolute best voice teachers we can be – which is why we meet regularly for continued education and often trade lessons with one another. We encourage students to take the opportunity to sing with each of us, via substitute lessons, events and group makeup classes!
Great great great teachers! Hands down great teachers! Someone here really knows how to unite talented folks! It feels great to come here once a week! This place is special.

Colorectal cancer – or colon cancer – is the abnormal proliferation of cells in the large intestine (the colon and rectum) and the appearance of benign or malignant tumours in this area. Men are slightly more at risk for it than women. In Canada, 1 out of 14 men and 1 out of 16 women risk developing colorectal cancer.
Risk factors of colorectal cancer
The causes of colorectal cancer have not yet been clearly identified. But the following risk factors have been associated with the disease:
- Polyps (small growths) on the intestinal wall;
- Age (this form of cancer affects mainly people 50 years old and over);
- History of inflammatory bowel disease (i.e. ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease);
- Family history of colon or rectal cancer;
- Poor diet;
- Alcohol consumption;
- Smoking;
- Physical inactivity;
- Obesity.
Symptoms of colorectal cancer
Nearly all cases of colorectal cancer (99 percent) begin as polyps on the intestinal wall. Although the majority of polyps are benign, they should be removed (through surgery or endoscopy, for instance) so that they do not eventually become cancerous.
In the early stages of development, which can last up to 10 years, colon cancer often does not exhibit any symptoms, since the abdomen has plenty of room for a tumour to grow.Eventually, it may cause bleeding or a blockage of the bowel.
The following symptoms should be mentioned to a doctor, as they could be caused by colorectal cancer:
- Blood in the stool
- Painful bowel movements
- Constipation or a feeling that the bowel does not empty completely
- Abdominal discomfort
- Unexplained weight loss
- Feeling of exhaustion
- Vomiting
Preventing colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer can be cured when it is discovered in its early stage. Prevention and regular checkups are your best ally in the fight against this disease, especially if you are at risk.
Here are various measures to help you reduce your risk of developing colon cancer:
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Not smoking
- Exercising
- Eating a diet rich in fruit, vegetables and fibre

Making a Referral
Many DRASACS clients contact us directly to request our services and these self-referrals are very important to our organisation. If counselling or advocacy is to be as effective as possible, it is vital that the client really does want to try the service and is committed to engaging with their counsellor or advocate.
However, when a child or young person is involved we are also able to take referrals directly from staff from other agencies, as long as the referral has been discussed and agreed with the client first.
How to Make a Referral
In order to manage the demands on resources, we are no longer able to accept third party referrals into ADULT counselling.
Due to an increased rate of non attendance by clients who have been referred to us via other agencies, we are currently only accepting self referrals for our ADULT counselling service.
If you are a professional working with an adult who would like to access our services, they need to contact us directly.
Please note this does NOT apply to our CHILDREN and YOUNG PEOPLES counselling service.
If you would like to refer a CHILD or YOUNG PERSON directly to us, please use our referral form:
- Referral Form (Word document) For sending by fax, post or secure email
You can also make a referral by telephone, by calling us on 01302 360421.
If you have any questions about making a referral or wish to discuss a specific set of circumstances, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
You can make a self referral by telephone, by calling us on 01302 360421.
We also have a variety of literature and leaflets that you can offer to your clients, so they can self-refer if they wish to. For more information call 01302 341572.

Zinger Heavy Duty Side Entry Dog Crate
Shipping & Returns: Free Shipping* on Purchases Free Returns. All The Time.
Zinger Heavy Duty Side Entry Dog Crate
The overall look of this crate says it all. Nothing but a solid, heavy duty crate. The side panels of the this crate are made using 3/4" x 3/4" aluminum tubing in .100" thickness. The door is built of solid 3/8" aluminum bars inserted thru 3/4" x 3/4" aluminum tubing. Each are then double welded for strength not found anywhere else. The top, bottom and back panels are made from .065" aluminum sheet that has been laser cut, formed and welded to exacting specifications. On any crate the door is consistently the weakest point and "Houdini" dogs typically target this area in their attempt to escape. In this model we have reinforced the door with extra bars, welds and bracing.
Unlike plastic and wire crates which easily crack and bend and need to be frequently replaced, Zinger crates are built to last a lifetime. The Zinger Semi-Custom crate is perfect for the dog who often destroys or breaks out of plastic and wire crates.
Lockable Slam Latch – Each door comes with a flush mounted slam latch which is keyed for added security while you are away from the crate. Rest assured that someone cannot simply open the crate and walk away with your dog. Made from strong "stainless steel" for durability and to prevent corrosion.
Stainless Steel Hardware – Lock and mounting hardware are made from stainless steel to eliminate rusting and corrosion.
Beautiful Finish – ZINGER™ crates are finished in a durable "Silver Hammertone" powder coat both inside and out. The secret to this tough finish is the high temperatures in which it is "baked on" so that it will not wear off. By powder coating the inside as well as the outside it protects your dogs coat from discoloration. Coat discoloration is common when a dog sits in an untreated aluminum crate. The bare aluminum oxidizes and the residue rubs off onto the dog resulting in a grey silvery color. This will not happen in a Zinger crate.
Super Solid Doors – Reinforced with solid bars and welded for extra strength the door is built to hold your "Escape Artist". A full length piano hinge and striker plate is standard and the door can be easily reversed to allow left or right hand opening.
Lead time 2 -4 weeks before delivery. Please contact us for sizing requirements and availability.

About Us
Native Angelino, Leylie Aghili, has dedicated years to dressing women who want basics that are anything but basic. In 2011, she opened her boutique, Leylie, a women's clothing store that caters to that very need.
With an emphasis on style rather than trend, Leylie offers a cherry-picked selection of seasonal staples, plus a whole lot of whimsy.
I'm fascinated by the concept of artful living and then as an extension of that, how to dress for that artful life in a way that's still grounded in reality.
Leylie showcases her wildly popular line of clothing, which is aptly named Leylie, alongside indie labels that are hard to find. The Leylie collection is produced in Los Angeles and uses fabric from Italy, Portugal and Turkey.
The exclusive line started with a single button down and has grown to include sweatshirts, dresses, blazers and everything in between. The line can also be found in a few choice boutiques and on Anthropologie.com.
Thematically, all things 'Americana' move me — the very spirit and simplicity drives my aesthetic. To me, value lies in the subtleties — from the texture to the pocket detail — that's what makes an everyday shirt special enough for the every day!
Leylie has gradually become a neighborhood "go-to" for fashion enthusiasts looking for the best not-basic basics. Best of all, it's become a place to swap stories and ideas while surrounded by good fashion.
Store Hours (restricted due to Covid):

- Coming up roses and sunflowers and daisies at Platte Floral.
Best Florist
Readers poll winner Platte Floral
1417 E. Platte Ave., 632-2607
Of course readers love Platte Floral. The locally owned flower shop has been in business for 70 years, and they've picked up a few tricks. They have learned that being a good flower shop doesn't mean just having a cooler full of vases of carnations. This shop showcases an extensive selection of flowers from around the world. For those in need of greens, tropical foliage and blooming plants are abundant in their greenhouse, as well as herbs.-- KL
Best Place For An Eclectic Gift
Readers poll winner Terra Verde
- Blanca Middlebrook
- Eve Carlson started The Revolution.
208 N. Tejon St., 444-8621
Sometimes happiness is a sconce. Or a scarf. Or a pithy refrigerator magnet. Or finding any of these things for someone else when you're at your wits' end from shopping. Terra Verde's diverse stock of clothing, jewelry, furniture, home accessories and the like has been an anchor to downtown's always-itchy retail scene for years now, and their superb staff is always on hand to soothe frazzled shopping nerves. So wander in and take a gander at their huge array of continually imaginative stock. -- AR
Best Consignment Store
Readers poll winner The Revolution
1312 W. Colorado Ave., 633-1357
You say you want a Revolution? Well you got it and it's stocked full of hip, classy and professional new and slightly used clothing at affordable prices for petite, average and plus-sized women. Set in a comfortable transformed house on Colorado Avenue, the Revolution is a great place to shop not only for clothes, but also for hats, jewelry, shoes and all sorts of unique accessories. -- CSB
Best Music Store
- Creighton Smith
- Matt Usiack at Independent Records.
Readers poll winner Independent Records & Video
Four locations around town
After 26 years in business, Independent Records & Video can easily lay claim to being Colorado Spring's longest running and most respected independently owned chain of record stores. The local community is full of people who worked for Orville, Judy and Lewie over the years in their stores as teenagers and young adults, and for most of them, there is a real affection and appreciation for the time that was spent working for them. In the last 10 years, Independent took hits from the economy and major record label policies that marginalized the mom and pop stores and favored the corporate record chains. In spite of this, they not only managed to survive, but also to open new locations in Security and Denver in addition to expanding their locations in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Independent has always been an ardent supporter of the local music scene and underground music in general. And, they have continually been on the forefront of breaking many emerging national rock and rap acts over the years and have a solid reputation within the music industry for strong sales and an even stronger support of music and musicians. -- GE
Best Shoe Store
Readers poll winner DSW
7639 N. Academy Blvd., 264-8007
So the black-and-white striped bags look like referees' uniforms. Don't let them fool you into thinking DSW is an athletic shoe warehouse. Nor is it an off-price or outlet store that features last year's styles at a discount. Our readers know that DSW is the MVP of shoe stores in the Springs. They stock up-to-the minute styles from the likes of Nine West, Kenneth Cole Reaction, Cole Haan, Aerosoles and Tommy Hilfiger. The shoes are more expensive than the trendy, disposable shoes that don't last through the season; here you'll get quality that lasts. They have a beefy selection of athletic shoes, too. But to fully appreciate DSW, you'll need to know the difference between Steve Madden and John Madden.-- GTS

Best Toy Store
Readers poll winner Little Richard's Toys
324 N. Tejon St., 578-5848
From soft plushy creations for infants to drool on to microscope kits for the innovative preteen, Little Richard's is full of toys to stimulate young minds. You won't find plastic dolls that reproduce unrealistic female body images or toy machine guns that encourage violent behavior. Instead there are piles of puppets, Erector sets, fingerprinting kits, origami books, journals, puzzles and so many other creative toys that encourage children to learn and grow and imagine. -- SG
Best Natural Foods Store
Readers poll winner Whole Foods Market
7635 N. Academy Blvd., 531-9999
There's a reason why Whole Foods has pseudo-begrudgingly become nicknamed "whole paycheck"; its customers are so loyal that they can't resist forfeiting great sums of their respective incomes on a weekly basis -- and that's no complaint. The prices are fair and the offerings are staggering; people roam bug-eyed and O-mouthed down vast isles of edible happiness. There are delectable cheeses, fresh seafood and responsibly raised meats, as well as everything green. Hemp foods, soy alternatives, dairy- and wheat-free products, organic and eco-conscious goods, carobs, flaxes, sprouted grains ... the list is endless. Whole Foods' Colorado Springs location has been open less than a year, yet they've obviously already found their way into the hearts of consumers. -- MS
Best Speed Shop
Editorial pick Speed Workz
222 E. Cucharras St., 630-1900
If you wanna run with the fast and furious, take your bucket down to SpeedWorkz for the ultimate custom car makeover. These wrench monkeys do it all: paint, custom bodywork, graphics, suspension mods, outlandish interiors and go-fast engine work (including nitrous-oxide injection). Whether you want to do a street racing job on a late-model Acura import, get that '70 Cuda ready for the drag strip, or just make that '65 Ford Country Squire station wagon the baddest baby-hauler in the burbs, SpeedWorkz can put more pride in your ride. -- GE
Best Place To Buy Art
Readers poll winner Business of Art Center
- Creighton Smith
- Customer Michelle Murphy among the stacks of beer at Cheers.
513 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs, 685-1861
What's the difference between the BAC and, say, a typical museum shop? At the BAC, you won't find any "Made in China" or "Assembled in Bangladesh" labels. Everything is one of a kind, created by local artists who are members of the BAC. And you won't find any leaden schlock, either -- if you want a picture of dogs playing poker, or a chainsaw-carved wooden screech owl, you'll just have to go elsewhere ... not that we at the Indy have anything against dogs playing poker with chainsaw-carved owls. -- JH
Best Garden Supply
Readers poll winner Rick's Garden Center
1827 W. Uintah St., 632-8491
Sometimes bigger is better. Take, for instance, Rick's Garden Center, where you can find bulk barrels of Rick's custom-made organic fertilizer, a massive variety of vegetable and flower seeds, countless species of shrubs and trees, bird baths, bird feeders and hangers, every soil amendment imaginable, a stunning greenhouse, a knowledgeable staff and more. Rick's has sealed its reputation with almost 55 years of meeting Colorado Springs gardeners' needs and their customers obviously appreciate it. -- KCE

Best Vintage Clothes And Scene Hangout
Editorial pick The Leechpit
708 N. Weber St., 634-3675
Adam and Heather Leech's year-old annex-o'-fabulousness has lately proven a nexus for snappily dressed counterculture dudes and dudettes; kids from nearby Colorado College as well as fashionista townies have been drawn to the store for an array of vintage clothing and accessories as well as a space to gather with, look at and judge their scenester friends and rivals. The store's got enough apparel, collectibles, CDs, records, high-camp accoutrements and, like, stuff to occupy the burgeoning scene kids for up to hours at a time. Thanks for that, Leechpit. -- AR
Best Bread
Readers poll winner Panera Bread
1832 Southgate Road, 389-0808
1845 Briargate Parkway, 266-9200
- Bruce Elliott
- Namico Cox points toward Wolfcreek Wonderland by Pat Geonetta at the Business of Art Center.
7344 N. Academy Blvd., 522-1100
Screw the Atkins Diet. All of that low-carb nonsense is just bound to make you cranky. Thinner, perhaps, but cranky -- and no one likes a Gloomy Gus. All hail delicious bread products! Panera Bread stores are a carbohydrate-lover's paradise: chock full of all manner of crispy and chewy breads, a veritable mlange of bagels, and delicious pastries. There are three Panera stores in town, on the polar ends of the city. The town's collective tummies are rumbling with delight. -- KL
Best Beer Selection
Best Wine Selection Readers poll winner Cheers Liquor Mart
1105 N. Circle Drive, 574-2244
Cheers Liquor Mart grabbed the chalice for both best wine store and best beer store, and a quick visit to their warehouse-style liquor emporium on North Circle Drive confirms why. Walls of reduced-price beer cases for people who buy their beer in bulk form customer aisles. Over in the wine section, reviews from Robert Parker, Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator can be found under many bottles, appealing to highbrow customers and neophytes alike. Prices range from less than $6 to $60 and up. And when it comes to beer, there's an ample selection of domestic and foreign choices -- everything from Asahi Super Dry of Japan to German Warsteiner. Well lighted and clean, Cheers seems like a good place to load up before getting loaded. -- DW

Best Wedding On The Cheap
Editorial Pick Green Mountain Falls Gazebo
Ute Pass Avenue and Lake Street, Green Mountain Falls
Green Mountain Falls Town Hall, 684-9414
Envision the mountains to your left and right as you walk across a wooden bridge to a tiny island in the middle of a pond, populated by your oldest and dearest friends and your loving family. Your best pal from middle school has been ordained so that he can preside over the wedding. The flowers are perfect, you look perfect and everyone has tears running down their cheeks. Your true love gazes into your eyes and whispers, "It's hard to believe that we rented this island for just $75 dollars an hour." -- SG
Best Place To Get Your Knit On
Editorial pick Green Valley Weavers
- Gavin Ehringer
- Chester Gillings and his London cab.
2115 W. Colorado Ave., 448-9963
The women at Green Valley Weavers are saints. At least, they have a saint's patience. Faced with a daily onslaught of knitters, crocheters and weavers of all experience levels and ages, they are able to answer every question with aplomb and humor. Even Kenya, the staff dog, radiates fuzzy serenity with her version of doggy yoga. They offer a wide variety of classes, and even have nights for like-minded crafty folk to meet and hold their own stitch-and-bitch sessions. Beyond the fantastically helpful staff, the store stock is a sensory dream, featuring the softest, craziest and most colorful of yarns. -- KL
Best Taxi Experience
Editorial Pick Chester's London cab
Available Monday through Saturday, afternoon to evening
510-0333 or Yellow Cab Dispatch, 634-5000, cab #873
Forget the gaudy stretch limos; if you want to arrive in style, hire Chester Gillings' London cab. This is the real deal: an Austin FX4, designed in the '50s and still used exclusively in Old London. Inside, there's enough headroom that a man need not remove his top hat, and there's sufficient floor space for a bale of hay (these were some of the odd legal requirements of London's Office of Carriages). Chester imported it to distinguish himself from our town's mini-van taxi brigade; he says one benefit is that even grumpy passengers get happy in his lorry. Price is regulated by local taxi tariffs. -- GE

Best Place We Can't Write About Again
Editorial pick Chinook Bookshop
Formerly at 210 N. Tejon St.
Winner, Best Book Store for '94 '95 '96 '97 '98 '99 '00 '01 '02 '03 '04
For 45 years Dick and Judy Noyes
Taught our town about books and joys
Now the shelves have been browsed for the very last time.
No more maps, no more books, no more plays or true crime.
O sweet local bookseller! We miss you so!
- Sean Cayton
- Kenneth P. Geohegan of All About Pets.
The customer service at Amazon is inhuman and slow.
We sat in your chairs and we pored through your pages
Your children's room was always full of kids of all ages.
From season to season the invisible man was lost in a book.
You were ours and we miss you -- the inimitable Chinook. -- BLS
Best Musical Instrument Shop
Editorial Pick Music Exchange
305 E. Pikes Peak Ave., 578-0883
This here is a rocker's neighborhood barbershop -- the place to go to trade jokes, stories, licks, advice, amps and guitars. With its crumbling ceiling,threadbare carpets and vintage Fender tweed amps, this guitarist's haven exudes a funky vibe perfect for garage band types, blues brothers, jazz cats and punk kittens. Owner Russ Spaeth gets sales assists from Ed Johnson and Kevin Rodela, both of whom play in popular local bands. ME sells everything from low-cost electrics and acoustics to vintage axes that will seriously splinter your budget. Basses, amps and accessories too -- no trumpets or trombones here. -- GE
Best Pet Service
Editorial pick All About Pets, PC, Mobile Veterinary Clinic
Kenneth P. Geohegan, DVM, 633-1010
Cats don't dig riding in cars. It's a natural law. Dogs -- fine; they hang their heads out and bark at stuff, but kitties they're like angry bees in a mason jar. Enter Dr. Geohegan: He'll save you the fuss of tweezering out cat claws from your forearms as well as the drive out to the vet. He brings his van to you. Spay and neutering, annual shots, and a whole spectrum of services are available. Give your pup or fur ball the gift of in-home care; this doc's got the right idea. -- MS

Electronic tolling and traffic management equipment on the 91 Express Lanes in Orange County will soon see an upgrade, though drivers probably won't notice a difference.
The change is a result of the Orange County Transportation Authority's recent decision to hire a new firm to design, install, run and maintain its existing 91 and future 405 express lanes in the county. Virginia-based Kapsch TrafficCom USA won the 10-year contract for $42.3 million – $10 million lower than the other qualified bidder, according to OCTA.
The current technology on the 91 Express Lanes was put in place in 2004 and updated in 2010, but is nearing the end of its lifespan, OCTA spokesman Eric Carpenter said. There are two tolled lanes for 10 miles in each direction at the median of the 91 between the 55 and the Riverside County border.
"The technology being implemented for the 91 Express Lanes … is an updated version of the equipment already in place along the 91 Express Lanes, including lasers, antennas, and plate readers," he said. "It will be a seamless transition for users of the 91 Express Lanes."
The same technology will be used for the 405 Express Lanes, which will be part of the I-405 improvement project that began in January and is expected to open in 2023. The express lanes will consist of two lanes in each direction at the center of the freeway between Costa Mesa and the Los Angeles County border.
OCTA estimates that drivers on the 405 Express Lanes will be able to travel that 16-mile stretch in about half the time they would on regular lanes.
Toll prices for driving full length on the 91 Express Lanes range from $1.50 to $10.15 depending on traffic congestion. The lanes are usually free for vehicles with three or more people other than weeknights between 4 and 6 p.m. in the eastbound direction.
Estimated toll prices for the 405 Express Lanes — they won't be finalized until closer to the opening — range from $2.13 to $9.99 based on the time of day and direction of travel, according to OCTA.
Kapsch's proposed automatic vehicle detection system — which uses overhead lasers, transponder antennas and cameras — tracks all vehicles entering the toll zone until they leave, according to the staff report. The company will provide 24/7 monitoring of the express lanes and notify the technician of any equipment failure.
"In rare cases now, some images of license plates on cars that travel through the gantry can be blurry and difficult to detect," Carpenter said. "The new technology is expected to cut down on those instances."
OCTA may also consider adding technology such as monitors that detect the number of people in the vehicle, he said.
Kapsch will begin replacing the existing equipment on the 91 Express Lanes after the contracts are finalized. The company also will work with the designer and builder of the 405 improvement project to plan installing tolling equipment for the 405 Express Lanes.
Sirit Corporation, which later became 3M Company, originally installed and ran the 91 Express Lanes system. But 3M in 2016 notified OCTA that the company no longer intended to provide the service, according to an OCTA staff report. The transportation agency contracted with Confiroute USA in the interim.

Sexy freedom fighters hurling tampons into the trolley - it's a triumph for capitalism.
In June, a Michigan congresswoman used the word "vagina" during a heated debate over abortion and was barred from speaking in the state House of Representatives the next day.
Meanwhile, in New Zealand, we are once more ahead of the ball. Not only has the word vagina found its way into prime-time advertising, but in a radical new ad for Carefree liners, a knowing young beauty delivers a little monologue about "knowing oneself" while describing the process of the vagina "naturally cleaning itself" between periods.
The model's delivery is direct and pleasant - although even with flowers artfully placed to protect her modesty, one does wonder how she manages to use the pads without wearing pants.
But the ad is confronting, and the reason is this: we simply don't associate the vagina with advertisements for sanitary items. Wind-swept maidens frolicking with horses? Schoolgirls getting ready to hit the town? Men doing stupid things when they find their girlfriend's stash of pads lying around? Check, check and check.
Yes, all clearly something to do with the female menstrual cycle. It's obvious, isn't it?
Even if we all know that women are quite often bloated, depressed and stuffing their faces with carbohydrates at period time, we accept a slip of a thing in a slip of a thing looking meaningfully into the middle distance, as the voiceover speaks of arcane concepts like pride, womanliness and freedom, because it all seems so cool, almost desirable.
Which is the point of good advertising, I suppose. If you can put aside the acne and the aches and consider yourself a sexy freedom fighter as you hurl a pack of tampons into your trolley, being sure to quickly cover them with a twelve-pack of bog paper, the capitalist system really has triumphed.
The furore over this latest ad, this daringly frank little expose of unmentionable bodily functions, is predictable but still infuriating.
For a start, the good people at Family Health Diary have no such delicacy in the way they present their numerous remedies for endless, ghastly complaints.
If I have to endure one more commercial depicting an acute case of athlete's foot or psoriasis from those merchants of gross just after dinner, I may not be able to resist the urge to reach out and sever presenter Mark Perry's honeyed vocal cords.
My second objection to the objections is the chorus of folk who think their children will somehow fall over in a quivering heap from hearing the word "vagina" during prime time. Little do they know that their darlings have probably heard about that body part a thousand times or more in rap music and other incidental entertainment, only, err ... not by that precise term.
Further, even if your loin-fruit is a boy, but particularly if she's a girl, should they not already be apprised of this rather vital body part? And that, in the girl's case, she may one day need Johnson & Johnson's help to remain "fresh" a full 365 days of the year?
Kudos anyhow to Carefree for pulling off this marketing coup and getting the world talking about vaginas, even if it is to gripe about their prominence during primetime. A great lesson for advertisers the world over, with the potential of plenty more markets to conquer with this particularly entrenched taboo.
