Cast iron. Enameled cast iron. Stainless steel. Carbon steel. Aluminum. Non-stick. Copper. There are many different kinds of cookware, each with their own specific list of pros and cons. When it comes to conducting heat, however, one type claims the premier spot on the pot rack. Copper. Let's take a closer look at why copper cookware is the choice of many professional chefs.
Why Copper Comes Out on Top
The luster of burnished copper is beautiful to behold and makes an attractive addition to any kitchen. In fact, if you've ever admired the glint and gleam of cookware featured in a design magazine, you've likely been gazing upon copper. However, man cannot cook on beauty alone. Functionality is also key, and copper has many benefits in that respect, as well -- beginning with its superior thermal conductivity.
Looking to save time in the kitchen while achieving better outcomes? Think copper. Because copper heats very quickly, it doesn't require much pre-heating -- also making it a terrific choice for chefs with energy savings on their minds.
But that's not all. Copper's amazing conductivity also allows you to reach precise heats, virtually eliminating hot spots and maximizing consistency so food cooks evenly. Furthermore, changing cooking temperatures is a snap when cooking with copper, as adjustments occur almost immediately. The result? Foods which are broiled, browned, and braised to perfection.
And while copper is expensive, it's for a good reason: This cookware is made to last. While some materials quickly degrade and wear out, copper can last for generations.
Owning Copper Cookware 101
If you've made the decision to purchase copper cookware, congratulations! This investment will pay off for years to come. However, there are also some things to keep in mind when it comes to cooking with your new copper pots and pans.
Like all other types of cookware, copper requires some upkeep to maintain its shine and keep corrosion at bay. The good news? Cleaning copper cookware is a simple project and requires only two ingredients you're already likely to have in your kitchen: lemon and salt. Hand-washing and hand-drying will help prevent spotting in order to keep your copper pots and pans looking their best.
One last thing to keep in mind? If you have an induction cooktop, copper cookware won't work with it unless lined with a layer of magnetic material. Why not? Because in induction cooking an electric current is created which generates heat in the pot or pan. In other words: No magnet, no heat.
Additionally, because copper is highly reactive, certain acidic or alkaline foods may acquire a metallic taste when cooked in copper. One solution if you're concerned about changing the taste of your food and/or ingesting trace amounts of copper transferred during the cooking process? Choosing copper cookware lined in either non-reactive stainless steel or tin.
There's a reason why many professional chefs choose to work with copper cooking pots. To get cooking with copper today or to check out our extensive collection of pots and pans suitable for all of your cooking needs, browse cookware at Cilantro The Cooks Shop today.

Best Dining With A View
Amazing views of the West Maui Mountains and the fantastic cloud formations that congregate on the peaks, the lush cane fields below, the North Coast and Maalaea Harbor create a dining spectacle. At breakfast time, you can rub elbows with goofy middle Americans as they load up on eggs benedict before riding their bikes down the Crater. For lunch, hobnob with old couples cruising the countryside and loads of tourists checking out the sights. The service is good all day at Kula Lodge, but dinnertime is most enjoyable. Debbie and Katie make great drinks to make the drive a little more adventurous but we obviously don't encourage that kind of thing. Be safe, eat well and enjoy an upcountry dining experience like none other. [JG]

Here is my card for the 2 Cute Rubber Stamps current Photo Inspiration Challenge. I am using the NEW 2 Cute Digi image "Baby Girl Bunny". Is she not the cutest! To add a bit of texture to her fur, I took out my Copic blender fluid, added some to a fuzzy sock and dabbed it on the image. The blender fluid removes some of the ink and leaves a similare pattern to what you have on the cloth/sock etc. I just love playing with my Copic Blender Fluid. (My tip for the day)
Photo Inspiration for 2 Cute Rubber Stamps Challenge
Well, that's pretty much it, I had fun playing around again. Letting the photo, my design papers, and my stash inspire me. I really hope to see you all play along. As long as you use the photo to inspire any creation, you qualify to win prizes.
Happy Krafting ladies,

There is not a more popular writer than George R.R. Martin right now.
He has a huge fan base that is loyal to a fault. His books are gobbled up in the millions every time they are published. And his books are so well written that he is compared to Tolkien.
But he had all that before his books were adapted into the most popular T.V. show on earth.
Game of Thrones.
And then popularity of his book skyrocketed.
Now Martin's fan base is made up of not only readers but also a wider range of viewers. And there is rarely and episode of Game of Thrones that doesn't flood the Internet with stories about who died or what happened after it airs.
It takes Martin awhile to write his books though. So long that some of his fans criticize him for making them wait.
That's why when he announced that his newest book was going to be released behind schedule it was expected that people would be angry.
But they weren't.
Martin's fans told him to take his time and make sure that he did his best work instead of worrying about deadlines.
He is such a talented writer that in a day and age when people can't sit still for two seconds without pulling out there phone his fans told him to take his time.
That they don't mind waiting as long as what he puts out is up to the standards of his last books.
Because Martin has a style and story that works. It works so well that people don't care about waiting to read it. They just want to read it.
Now unless you are a fan then you may be thinking this email just wasted your time.
But it didn't.
Because it is you key to a system that works just as well as Martin's at making you money.
It's called MTTB and it has made people just like you over $25 million in commissions by simply working from their own computer.

Scoring free stuff on the curb is a great way to beat the system. You are keeping stuff out of the landfill, finding unusual items, and keeping money in your pocket. In some cases, the found items are better than what you would have purchased in a big box store.
If you are reading this, you probably do not have a psycho-social hangup with taking home something that someone else discarded. People who can go beyond illogical pressures can save some real money. Since you are willing to think for yourself, here are 27 tips for scoring great free stuff on the curb.
Approaches to scoring free stuff on the curb
1) Target affluent neighborhoods and big houses.
This is like how trick-or-treat-ers swarm to the rich side of town. If you go to the rich side of town, you get the best stuff.
People with disposable income dispose of a lot of property. Many will not take the time to post items on craigslist or even to take items to a donation center. Whatever their reasons may be, high-income people put out high-quality curbside finds. Familiarize yourself with the trash schedules in the well-to-do neighborhoods in your area.
In addition, grabbing the good stuff in high-income neighborhoods is easy; it is less likely that someone who lives there wants to be seen trash picking.
It is important to note that some of the best finds come from large, older homes that are continually purging their contents. The larger and older the home, the more likely that the stuff I am interested will end up on the curb.
2) Think seasonally.
Spring is often the best time to find great free stuff on the curb. Many people are moving, spring cleaning is under way, colleges and universities are wrapping up, and the divorce rate reaches its yearly peak. This is a perfect time for you to get your own home organized and upgraded with some free stuff from the curb.
Spring is not the only season to consider. The holiday season, the end of a particular sports seasons, garage cleaning season, yard-sale season, and so on might offer what you seek.
3) Note trash schedules.
Your own trash schedule is not the only one to keep in mind. Think about the neighborhoods that you want to target and get to know their schedules. Taking a different route home on a certain day of the week might double your chances of discovering curbside gold.
4) Cruise colleges and universities.
Here in Philadelphia we celebrate Penn Christmas in May. When the students move away, they toss tons of useful stuff.
Even when the students are not moving away, colleges and universities have great potential for garbage picking. When offices are being renovated or reorganized, schools throw away great furniture, filing cabinets, office supplies, and more. Oftentimes these items are institution quality and built to last.
Drive around the back of the building to see what is there. Just make sure that it really is trash and not waiting to be picked up and moved.
5) Check other institutions and businesses.
Retirement homes, office buildings, factories, libraries, etc. throw away some great stuff. They may not have a plan in place to dispose of, re-purpose, or donate perfectly serviceable items.
Look around these targets, but make sure that you are not trespassing or stealing.
6) Go off the beaten path.
To find the best curbside gold, you may have to travel the road less traveled. Service roads, alley ways, and loading zones are where the curb treasure awaits. The next time you leave a commercial park, shopping center, or school, exit by driving around the back of the buildings.
Do not forget to stay safe. Do not go anywhere where you do not feel comfortable. Pay attention to lighting, entrances and exits, and visibility.
7) Follow yard sales, estate sales, flea markets, etc.
If you want to get the best stuff at a yard sale, go early. If you want free stuff from the yard sale, go late. Many neighborhood yard sales occur before garbage day because they know that many people will trash things that do not sell. Consider hitting the yard sales after everyone has closed up shop.
8) Use apps, websites, and alerts.
There are many apps and websites helping people find free stuff on the curb. This is the best way to go if you are looking for specific items. The drawback of this approach is that you need to be ready to act quickly. Sometimes listings are not kept current or you arrive two seconds too late.
- Craigslist free section
- Nextdoor app
- Curbsurf.com
- Facebook (local groups)
9) Travel on foot.
No matter how slowly you drive past, you will never get the best view. You will see more stuff and avoid wasting time on items that are truly garbage by taking the ol' shoe leather express. Most of the cool things I have found have been while walking my dogs. Get some exercise, check things out, and come back later if something big is worth picking.
Free stuff on the curb best practices
10) Inspect finds.
If thoroughly checking out a trashed item causes you embarrassment, get over it. It is better to spend the time making sure items are what you want than to waste your time and energy. Make sure all of the parts are there, look for irreparable damage, move any moving parts, and look for maker's marks and labels. Even if something is free, check it thoroughly before investing your time and energy.
11) Avoid bed-bugs and other pests.
Bed bugs and other pests are hard to detect and hard to kill. Bed bugs are resistant to heat, cold, and starvation. They can even hide in the folds of lampshades or inside electronics. Upholstered furniture, pillows, and stuffed animals are out of the question. When in doubt, leave it out.
You can treat large items with pesticides, but it is easier to avoid all upholstered items completely. Any kind of textile that cannot be treated with serious heat easily (washer and dryer heat) is a no go.
12) Be prepared and safe.
There are a few things that you should keep in your vehicle to make sure that your curb surfing is practical and safe.
- Work gloves
- Closed-toe shoes
- Eye protection
- Straps and tie-downs
- Flashlight
- Basic tool kit (screw drivers, utility knife, hammer, pliers, etc.)
Be safe with your body. Do not try to manage heavy or awkward items alone, be aware of your surroundings, and carefully secure items for transport.
13) Learn how to disassemble.
Depending on what you are looking for, you may need to do some disassembly. A few well-placed swings of a hatchet or the ability to locate mounting screws makes all the difference.
I have smashed IKEA bookcases to re-purpose the melanin, removed table and desk tops, pulled drawers for new storage, and snatched hinges, casters, and hardware. Just because you do not want the entire item as it sits, doesn't mean there is nothing of worth.
14) Get handy.
Many people are completely intimidated by minor repairs and modifications. As a result, some quality items with minor defects are free for the taking.
Finding free stuff on the curb gives you a no-risk way to increase your skills. You might be amazed by what you can accomplish with a few screws, a little glue, and some paint.
If you would like to learn more about how I made this cart from discarded pallets, check out my post "Get Started Turning Pallets into Stuff".
15) Think creatively.
Open your mind to re-purposing. A small dresser can become a bathroom vanity. A shoe rack might help you organize your art supplies. A desktop can become a work bench. Just because an item is no longer serviceable for it's intended use, doesn't mean it needs to go to the landfill.
16) Know garbage picking laws.
You do not want to end up paying a hefty fine for trying to save a few bucks. You also want to avoid unpleasant arguments. Check your local regulations so that you do not end up in hot water. Here are some basics for understanding garbage picking laws:
- Pay attention to signs and notices; they have legal bearing.
- You are more likely to get in trouble for trespassing than taking garbage. If the garbage is on private space, it is subject to privacy protection.
- Garbage left on public space is no longer private property (Greenwood vs. California). The contents of garbage bins in public space (the curb) are not protected by law.
- If you are going through garbage on private property, you are trespassing and invading privacy.
- Some cities (like New York) prohibit the taking of items that are intended for recycling. This recycling makes the city or the city's subcontractor serious money, so they do not want people grabbing it.
- There are no federal laws preventing people from taking other peoples' trash.
- Some local laws prohibit trash picking. A municipality may decide that people are being inconvenienced or generally put-off by scavenging and establish ordinances and fines.
"My wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to put the garbage out. I said to her I already did. She told me to go and keep an eye on it."
-Rodney Dangerfield

17) Consider reselling.
I was surprised to learn that many people make real money from what they find in the trash. If you are so inclined, look for items that might be valuable to someone else.

Top things to to target
18) Building materials
If you take on little projects from time to time, keep an eye out for free building materials. (Demolition dumpsters are especially good for this.) If you have the storage space, grab extra 2 x 4s, leftover plywood, random boards, etc. whenever you can. Your stash might save you a trip to the home store on your next project or even provide inspiration for an unanticipated project.
19) Wooden Furniture (non-upholstered)
I am shocked at the beautiful pieces of furniture that people throw away. People trash this furniture due to a minor defect or because their tastes have changed. I often find that this furniture is better quality than the particle-board monstrosities that you find in Target or on Way-fair.
Pay special attention to wooden pieces even if they need some TLC. Wood is a very forgiving material to work. With some basic tools and supplies, you might turn a piece of trash into a unique showpiece.
20) Outdoor furniture
During the summer months, home stores offer a wide selection of replacement pillows and pads for outdoor furniture. Nevertheless, many people throw away an entire outdoor set as soon as the cushions have been damaged by the elements.
You are the winner in this situation. Snatch up that patio furniture, take a couple of measurements, and buy replacement cushions that match your style. Now you have a new set for pennies on the dollar.
21) Vintage curios
If you live in an area with some older homes or institutions, you might discover people throwing away unusual, vintage items. I am always on the lookout for strange little curios that add nostalgia to my home office.
22) Shelving
Basic shelves are one of those things that you should never buy. Why pay money for something that is only going to hold laundry detergent, winter boots, or sporting goods? If you can exercise a bit of patience, the shelves that you need will show up for free.
23) Bins and containers
Unless you really need all of your containers to be uniform, you can find all of the storage that you need for free. People seem to consider plastic bins disposable even though they are pretty durable, so hose them off and get your stuff organized for free.
If you are not sure if the bins are meant to be trash, leave them be. Your image will not be improved by having retired people chasing you down the block.
24) Plastic coolers
I don't think that I have ever paid money for a cooler. People are always throwing them away. Maybe some people's days of picnicking or tailgating are behind them, or maybe they are too lazy to clean them out. Whatever the case may be, a bit of soapy water means a new cooler for you.
25) Picture frames
When people throw away artwork, posters, and framed documents, they also throw away the frame. This is really a waste as many of the frames are really nice.
If a frame is close to the size you need, the framing store can perfect the framing by cutting a new mat. If you are crafty, you can cut the new mat yourself.
26) Kitchen wares
High quality kitchen ware is expensive, yet people toss these durable goods to the curb just because they are dirty. Some steel wool or some Bar Keepers Friend will polish up them up to look like new. You will often discover that the saved item is very high quality.
Note: Avoid damaged non-stick cookware because the chemicals released by the scratches can be harmful.
27) Tools
Tools do have no expiration date. When people clean out their garages and basements, they often throw away hundreds of dollars in tools. Where they see a worthless metal thingy, I see a $100-dollar sawyer's vice. They may not know what it's for, but I do.
You do not have to know about obscure tools to benefit. People are always tossing perfectly good hedge clippers, wrenches, hammers, saws, rakes, shovels, etc. A new handle or some time with the sharpening stone can make all the difference. Again, older is sometimes better as grandpa's band saw is probably better made than what you will find in most stores.
28) Hobby materials
When it comes to hobbies, sometimes we just lose interest. Other times the person who had the hobby has moved or passed away. If you like a particular hobby, you might discover a huge bin of "garbage" that will keep you busy indefinitely.
29) Fitness and sporting goods
As with hobbies, fitness and sporting interests tend to come and go. You will see everything from elliptical machines to fishing poles. If you have a particular interest or keep a home gym, be on the look-out.
"Free Stuff on the Curb" conclusion
You may call it curb surfing, trash picking, dumpster diving, or free-cycling. I call it fun, and I am not afraid to brag about the great stuff I have found. I feel that it signifies an ability to think creatively and scoff at convention.
Although many of these approaches have merit, my approach to finding free stuff on the curb is pretty simple. I do not look for curb alerts, search postings, or do extra driving. I basically adjust where I walk my dogs and the route that I drive if I am on the prowl.
At this point in my life, I pretty much have everything that I need, so I can very selective. Lately I have only been keeping an eye out for cool wooden furniture and project materials.
If you have a fondness for second-hand items, I wrote and in-depth post about shopping in thrift stores: Thrift Store Tips for Becoming a Jedi Master of Resale.
Were my free stuff on the curb tips helpful? Is one of my tips erroneous? Did I miss an important tip? What is your best find ever? Please leave a comment.

ArmA 2 Warfare is a multiplayer scenario for the computer game ArmA 2. This is a quick guide to getting started playing Warfare.
1Learn how to survive in ArmA.
- ArmA focuses on realistic combat. This means that your tactics from Call Of Duty will not work.
- When in a war zone in ArmA, it is always a good idea to remain as close to the ground as possible, this makes you a smaller target to hit. It also means that when you do get into a fight, your accuracy is significantly improved.
- When under fire, your priority is to get to cover before thinking about where to shoot. When behind cover, take the time to check your surroundings and get an idea as to your situation. This means having to know the terrain, a rough enemy headcount and the exact location of the target attacking you. But don't take too long, there is a very high chance you are being flanked (attacked from the sides).
- Newton's first law of motion States that an object in motion stays in its current state unless acted upon by an outside force, this applies to bullets as well. Bullets in ArmA are affected by gravity, and will drop over distance, and will keep travelling until it hits something, either your target or something else. Take this into account when dealing with enemies at long range. The sniper rifles in ArmA are suited for this, the range can be adjusted and bullet hits on the ground can be useful to show if you are above or below range. When below range, angle the rifle slightly above the target, when above range, aim slightly above, try to aim for COM (Centre Of Mass) with your shots.
- Know your role in the team. This is not like Team Fortress where any role can do most duties. You have to actually abide by what your role requires. There is no role more important then the other other then the medic. The medic is there to heal team mates when they are wounded, other then that he is like any other infantryman. Scouts can be used to coordinate an entire battle, relaying information to artillery, to infantry and to air strikes, the scout is also then sniper. Snipers, however, act in groups of two, a spotter and a shooter. The spotter detects wind speed, wind direction and target distance. The shooter is the one who shoots. Infantrymen are the men who can take out buildings, artillery, aircraft and infantry, they are the backbone of the army. The team leader is in charge of the squad, he is the navigator and is responsible for the lives of many, his communication skills have to be clear and concise.
- Learn to use vehicles if you can. They don't have infinite fuel and ammo, but usually have enough for the battle at hand. Humvees are good for scouting, providing light escort and performing hit and run attacks. Quad bikes are only good for sniper teams due to no armour and covering terrain quickly. Armed APCs are good anti-infantry, and can act as tanks if armed with the right weapons. MBTs (Main Battle Tanks) are the best used in a team of three, driver, gunner and commander, they are good for destroying all ground vehicles and buildings. Planes are useful for taking out other aircraft, buildings, infantry and vehicles, and are good at acting as an early warning system. Helicopters can provide a more precise air cover, can take out other helicopters, all ground vehicles and buildings and can even act as an early warning system and as an evacuation vehicle.
- The teachings of Sun Tzu in his texts, the art of war, are a very handy thing to help you in ArmA. According to Sun Tzu if you know yourself and your enemy then you can win a hundred battles without loss. This means gather as much information as possible, and communicate clearly with your team and others around you. Know where best to apply them. this also means knowing what your enemy can counter and what they can't. If you have mortar teams, and know where your enemy bases are, soften them up with mortars, your enemy will be demoralised by the time you send in troops. Same goes for artillery barrages and air strikes. Always know what units are a priority. If your enemy has AA units, take them out first, then move down to AT units and AI units.
- Learn to read a map properly on paper and by your own eyes. The best way to do this is to note down marker points such as a house or a forest, if you can recognise what you note down you can find your way. Always be aware of your bearings and learn to read a map grid and compass. When giving out your location, be clear and precise, you don't want to end up being a friendly fire statistic.
2Know what the scenario is.
- Warfare is an ArmA 2 scenario with 3 factions: East, West and Resistance. East and West are playable, with NPCs as Resistance.
3The objective is to defeat the other playable factions by seizing control of towns on the map. Each town provides supply points which enable your team to build more bases and buy upgrades.
4Wipe out the resistance. Towns are initially controlled by the NPC resistance faction. Wiping out the resistance in each town enables your team to build up the amount of supply points each town contributes to your teams supply coffers. The same amount of points are also given to each player in $; from which a player can buy weapons, vehicles and men.
5To win the game players must either eliminate the other players bases or seize control of all the towns.
- Command: A commander is voted for at the beginning of the game. If no commander is voted for successfully, AI will command – and will build very obvious bases.
- The commander is in charge of the HQ vehicle (MHQ). The MHQ is not to be driven by anyone other than the commander. The MHQ can be converted into an immobile base. An option menu then allows the commander to select the bases to build. An experienced commander will employ complex strategies when building and upgrading bases.Often the key to a teams success will rely on the commanders decisions throughout the game.
- Towns: Towns consist of a central depo and 2-4 bunkers. Capturing bunkers enables players to buy weapons and to spawn at the bunkers should a player be killed in combat.
- To capture a town or bunker, a player must wait in the building for the energy bar to deplete to zero, at which time the bar will replenish and change colour to green. Once the town is captured vehicles can be bought from the town depo using the options menu by clicking on the spanners 'X' icon. The town supply will increase from a low value eg. 10/50 to 50/50; either gradually (if the pre-game auto supply parameter was selected) or in increments of 10 if supplied by supply trucks from the commanders base.
- When a town is captured, friendly AI units will inhabit the town providing protection from hostile forces. The higher the supply value of the town the greater the force provided to guard it.
- Weapons: Each player can equip a rifle and pistol and a secondary weapon like a missile launcher; as well as a limited range of grenades and smoke canisters. In the early stages of the game players prefer to use unguided launchers like the SMAW and RPG as these weapons enable tanks and APCs to be disabled rather than destroyed.
- Disabled vehicles can then be repaired and used against the enemy in neighbouring towns. Although guided launchers provide better armour penetration and targeting ability, more experienced players tend to remain with unguided launchers due to their versatility on the battlefield. In the later stages of the game players will have access to tanks and aircraft and will therefore find most of the enemies' vehicles redundant, particularly as enemy vehicles cannot be entered by a players AI squad.
- Tactics: A player should travel from town to town capturing the towns as they go. If a player dies without capturing a bunker at an enemy town they will have to spawn at a base. Scrolling out using the mouse wheel and selecting a yellow-circled base will spawn a player at that base. Light Factories(L) are the most commonly selected spawn as transport is available there for purchase. Once Heavy Factories(H) are available, towns become significantly easier to capture, as a single tank can take a town in a few minutes with the player driving.
- Command: A commander is voted for at the beginning of the game. If no commander is voted for successfully, AI will command – and will build very obvious bases.
6Build static defences and artillery using a repair vehicle. This is best done away from bases as only the commander should be in charge of a bases defences. Defences must be manned by your personal AI men if they are further than 200m from a barracks.
7By default the construction menu is bound to the middle mouse button and the Enter button.
8Blue towns and buildings – resistance occupied; Red towns and buildings – Enemy faction; Green towns and buildings – Friendly
- Conclusion:
- Capture bunkers in towns to buy weapons and to respawn.
- Capture a towns central depot to capture the town and to buy vehicles.
- Buy weapons at barracks, vehicles at L H or A factories.
- To win: Capture all towns or Find and destroy all enemy bases.
- Conclusion:

HYPEBEAST just posted an article dissecting LeBron's first signature shoe from Nike, the Air Zoom Generation.
They also shared some of the initial sketches and samples behind the design & development of one of my personal LeBron models to-date. The shoe was rugged and sporty, yet still remained pretty clean, something we don't really see too much of in Basketball shoes at the moment. I can already see this shoe becoming a big retro release for Nike and LeBron for many years to come, as it's a style that translates well off-court.
"Combining the genius minds of Tinker Hatfield, Eric Avar and Aaron Cooper, the Nike Air Zoom Generation's blueprint lays on the foundation of comfort. Per LeBron's request, comfort was a priority as its overall aesthetic followed suit. Looking at James as the modern day soldier of the basketball court, you'll find the same materials found in Nike's SFB Boot, which receives a military influence with materials such as leather and ballistic mesh." – HYPEBEAST

If you're the kind of guy or gal who likes to hit the trails instead of the pavement and has a boatload of chest-hair to show off that Brawniness inside you, then there is an iPod case for you. H2O Audio makes some decent cases for protecting your valuable electronics and the Outdoor Case for the iPod Nano is no exception. Though a bit costly at $40, this clear plastic case comes with an armband, removable belt clip, and is shock resistant.
Unfortunately and ironically though, the case is not waterproof. Kind of takes away from the $40 you have to shell out for it. If you want one badly though, they're available now in most stores.

There is nothing worse than bruised and wasted fruit, so if you like the idea of having fruits and veggies on the counter, but not the space then check out this under cabinet hammock.
You can get all kinds of baskets and bowls that can sit on your counter to keep foods in, but if counter space is at a premium and you find that the fruit is going off or being bruised quite quickly then using a gentle hammock instead of a hard bowl or basket would help to support the foods and keep them fresh longer.Credit: Amazon.com
Many people resort to keeping them in the fridge simply because they don't have the room, and yet apples and tomatoes especially taste their best at room temperature.
If you simply do not have the counter space to store them in, then consider getting a hammock to support them off of the counter. The hammock secures quickly to the underside of the upper cabinets with two hooks that are included.
This way you can enjoy the flavours of room temperature fresh foods such as apples, tomatoes, bananas and more, they are elevated off the counter so that they don't get bumped around and also leaves you with a clear counter top. Which in a small space can be the perfect solution.
The complete air circulation that the hammock offers helps to keep the fruit and veggies fresh and ready to eat. They do not spoil as quickly and will remind you to eat them each day as you will see them at eye level, rather than rotting away in the fridge or in some hard basket or bowl. It is good looking too.
With many kitchens getting smaller or people downsizing to smaller spaces, utilizing all the free space becomes important. You can easily clutter up a kitchen with all the gadgets we use on a daily basis.
But the idea of hiding everything away in the cabinets or even the fridge is not really the answer either, so by utilizing the space just below the top cabinets you can get a lot of items off the counter top and free up more work area.
You can now get many small appliances such as coffee pots, can openers, k-cup holders and more that will secure nicely to the bottom of the upper cabinets, allowing you to use all the space in your kitchen for actual food preparation!
Clutter can be a real problem with all of the conveniences we like to use. So instead of trying to make the kitchen bigger, maybe try utilizing all the space you can and make your kitchen user friendly.
Using a food hammock is just another great idea to keep the food fresh with less bruising and off the counter.
You can get these at most kitchen supply stores and some specialty kitchen shops but you can also get an under cabinet fruit and veggie hammock online at sites such as Amazon. Shopping online is a great way to see a much larger assortment and in most cases get it delivered right to your door.
You know you are supposed to eat lots of fruits and vegetables each day, maybe if you have them in one of these hammocks suspended in your kitchen you will see them and think to eat them.

Mura North Hills
Mura is located in Raleigh's North Hills shopping center. It isn't my favorite spot for sushi, but they offer 1/2 off wine and buy one get one half off sushi rolls on Sundays. That, paired with their amazing patio and the beautiful weather we were having sold me on the spot. The sushi is good, the rolls are interesting, it's worth a visit.
Overall: 3.7 out of 5
Food/Beverage: 3.5 out of 5
Ambiance: 3.8 out of 5
Value: 3.5 out of 5
Service: 4 out of 5
They have recently changed their menu – taken a few of the rolls that aren't as popular off and added in a few new ones. The other thing I like about Mura is that they are very flexible with the roll ingredients. They are happy to sub something in, or take something out. Finding this out changed my opinion of their rolls a bit, because most have spicy tuna (the chopped tuna mixed with spicy mayo) inside of them. I am not a fan of spicy tuna. The texture is just mushy and tasteless to me. We subbed in yellowfin tuna to the rolls we ordered that had spicy tuna in them. It was a hit.
As I mentioned it was 1/2 price glasses of wine night. They have plenty of choices on the menu, and will bring you a small taste if you need to try before you buy. I had a lovely Pinot Noir.
They have a large enough portion of edamame ($5), big enough to share, with plenty of salt. Ours were steamed perfectly and tasted great!
I love the presentation of their rolls. Our first two were the Wolfpack roll (shrimp tempura, yellowtail, avocado inside topped with seared scallops, spicy mayo and red tobiko for $15).
This is my favorite of all their rolls. I love the texture of the scallops on top of the roll.
The other roll, the Volcano roll, has crab, avocado and spicy tuna inside and horseradish wine sauce over big eye tuna and green tobiko on top. We ordered it with the spicy tuna, before we knew that substitutions were allowed. It was ok. I loved the stuff on top, but was disappointed by the mushy spicy tuna inside.
The next of our roll-stravaganza was the Tokyo roll. This one was supposed to have spicy tuna, cucumber, jalapeño on the inside (we subbed in yellowfin tuna) and big eye tuna, salmon and white tuna on top covered in spicy mayo and topped with capers ($15). I really enjoyed this. And I like how they make the number of rolls with each type of fish even – makes it easier to share.
Our final roll was another one we changed up. The SinCity roll ($15) had spicy tuna (subbed for sliced tuna), creme cheese, avocado and salmon inside and was topped with yellowfin, masago and black tobiko. They had eel sauce and spicy mayo drizzled on top. Also a very delicious roll.
All and all, I'd say our service was fantastic! The ambiance outside is very lovely and the food was prepared quickly and deliciously. I'd return for sure! But only when the rolls are half price. To me, their selections aren't all that fantastic for $15/roll.

November 6, 2018
The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, now known as Cambridge Assessment, says it can only release the certificate of President Muhammadu Buhari if the president requests for it.
The exam body said this in response to inquiries by Nigerians interested in authenticating Buhari's certificate.
Cambridge, a United Kingdom-based examination body, oversaw the conduct of final year secondary school examination in Nigeria and placement into foreign universities in the 1960s.
In a statement on Monday, the examination body said for it to release a candidate's certificate, the student must request for it.
It also confirmed that according to the regulations for 1961, African language papers, including those for Hausa, were set for the West African School Certificate.
It added that it was not compulsory to pass mathematics to get the certificate.
"We can only confirm or verify results at the direct request of or with the permission of a candidate," the statement read.
"This is in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations, Data Protection Act 2018 and section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
"Examination results were classed in grades by 1 to 9. 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 indicate a Pass with Credit; 7 & 8 indicate a Pass; 9 indicates a Failure.
"To pass the School Certificate, candidates had to pass examinations in a variety of groups. It was compulsory to pass English Language, but not Maths, in order to gain the Certificate.
"The number of candidates who sat for the WASC Hausa examination in 1961 was 152.
"Our records show that Hausa was set in the Northern Region in 1961."
Ahead of the 2019 elections, presentation of academic certificates is one of the requirements for those seeking elective positions.
The president had told the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that his certificates were with the military board.
This generated criticisms from opposition parties and some Nigerians also insisted that the president must produce his academic certificates.
However, on Friday, the West African Examination council (WAEC) presented an attestation of result to Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja.

Coffee shops are inspirational. You knew that didn't you? They really are and have to be. Most are full of people who are on laptops or tablets as well as groups of folks having great conversations. My fave coffee haunt, Cavu Coffee, is one of these inspirational locations !!
Recently, I was in the midst of a great conversation at Cavu with a friend and we talking about leadership. In the midst of a sip of some hot coffee, she laid this out for me – "You know Steve, there are two types of leaders. Those that help people grow and those who want control."
I stopped sipping my coffee. I was struck by how accurate that was. When I think of the workplace, I definitely see this dichotomy at play. The tendency, however, is not usually focused on growth. I don't mean to be negative, just realistic. Managers and supervisors live in a constant state of frustration because people just won't do what they
demand, I mean, ask.
We aren't clean in this area either HR. The majority of our efforts in HR are to constrain and control. This is true from policies to performance "management" systems. I know many of my peers who are handcuffed by spending the majority of their time and contributions towards keeping employees in line.
How does this help people excel? How does this help companies thrive and perform? Why is the standard of how we allow managers and supervisors behave so low? The questions could go on and on . . .
We need to be a profession focused on growth – both personally and throughout our organizations. Trust me, this is healthier than what is being done currently. We all have to come to terms that "control" is a myth. It always has been.
Don't believe me? Do you have kids, know kids or were a kid yourself? (I want to make sure to cover everyone). Parents miss so much of the phenomenal side of their children because they want their kids to behave, listen and stay within very tight boundaries. I believe in structure, and I was one of those parents who was more strict than I probably should have been. When I allowed my kids to just be themselves, they flourished !! Their creativity and imagination jumped out of them. There was little they wouldn't explore or try. They were limitless.
The more I tried to keep them in line, the more I saw the edges get chipped off and they moved more and more to the "norms" that everyone expected of them. Why does this matter? You know what happens when kids grow up? They become our employees.
So, why wouldn't you want employees who saw their work as having no limits? What if HR was less about "crossing the line" and more about boundaries and parameters that allowed people to perform? We need to step in and change the landscape of the workplace. It just has to happen.
People want to grow. They want to do this within their role and the organization. This doesn't mean that everyone desires promotions and the out-of-date career ladder. They want to grow in how they do work. They want to grow in their responsibilities. They want to grow in how they move the company forward.
They want to grow . . . and so do you !!
I encourage you to eliminate the illusion of control and build an environment of growth. Go to a coffee shop and see how your inspiration blossoms !!

The use of sodium bicarbonate as a sports supplement for high-intensity endurance exercise such as short-distance time trialling/sprinting has been known about for donkeys.
However, despite the fact that there's good scientific evidence to support its use, bicarbonate supplementation has never gained widespread popularity in the way that, say, creatine has. That's because bicarbonate use can be accompanied by unpleasant side-effects such as nausea and gastric distress – severe enough in many cases to be counterproductive.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
But to make matters worse, the side- effects of bicarbonate supplementation are a bit of a lottery; what helps produce a PB for one person could leave someone throwing up!
However, the potential of bicarbonate to seriously improve performance remains, so in an effort to understand more about individual responses to bicarbonate supplementation, scientists from Nottingham Trent University have been studying bicarbonate's effects on male cyclists.
The science
In the study, researchers looked to see whether the degree of gastrointestinal (GI) distress – nausea, sickness, vomiting – experienced was directly linked to cycling performance and also whether there were any metabolic indicators where cyclists would respond well (or less well) to bicarbonate supplementation.
To do this, 21 male cyclists completed two cycling capacity tests at 110 per cent of sustainable maximum power (hard!). They were supplemented with 0.3g of bicarbonate per kilo of body weight in one trial and an inert placebo in the other, but they didn't know which was used in each trial. Before, immediately afterwards and then again five minutes afterwards, the cyclists has their blood analysed for acidity/alkalinity, bicarbonate and how much fatiguing lactate had accumulated.
In a nutshell
When the researchers took the group as a whole, bicarbonate supplementation didn't seem to significantly improve performance. However, four of the group suffered from gastrointestinal distress; when the researchers removed them and analysed the results of the remaining 17, the bicarbonate supplementation proved very effective at boosting total work performed.
Another finding was that, immediately after the test, the levels of blood lactate were significantly higher in the 17 cyclists who took bicarbonate and didn't suffer GI distress. However, in the cyclists who suffered GI distress, lactate levels were no higher than when the placebo was taken.
So what?
These findings show that if bicarbonate works for you, it's likely to work very well. But if you're in the minority who suffer GI distress, you'll feel too ill to benefit! The fact that the cyclists who suffered GI distress after bicarbonate couldn't generate more lactate in the test suggests they just couldn't push hard enough to benefit – almost certainly due to their symptoms.
The bad news is that there's no predictive test as to the good and bad bicarbonate responders. However, the good news is that the side-effects are temporary and are unlikely to result in worse performance than taking nothing. If you try it and don't suffer GI distress, it's likely you'll reap significant performance rewards!

It has been cold and rainy and I am wishing for the sun and strangely enough something I never make at home – fish tacos. Forgive the "unseasonal" recipe, but I am envisioning a beach vacation with some beers and fish tacos. Inspired by a recipe that I recently came across in a Williams-Sonoma cookbook, I improvised and made our very own (and first) fish taco dinner.
I pan-fried the cut-up Tilapia fillets in our BBQ spice mix (we have vast quantities of it lying around for when we make peel-and-eat shrimp). You can use a simple mixture of cumin and paprika and perhaps, just salt and pepper for the kids with some cumin thrown in.
It was a fairly simple meal to put together. I made the crema is a jiffy using my mini food processor and the salsa took about 10 minutes due to the chopping. I made them in the morning, before starting work and right before dinner quickly pan-fried the fish and mini peppers. The cabbage, I bought pre-shredded and dressed quickly with vinegar, salt and pepper. Though the dish has several components, it is a quick an easy recipe for dinner if you break up the prep. and do some work ahead of time.
Not quite what I was dreaming of, since the weather was uncooperative, but a yummy dinner that everyone enjoyed and at least satisfied a surprising craving. Lovely with a glass of cold beer.
Salsa Cruda from The Williams Sonoma Cookbook
This is a classic Mexican salsa, whose name means "raw sauce", is a cinch to put together. To make salsa combine 2 tomatoes, cut into 1/4 inch dice; 1/3 cup finely diced red onion, 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro; 1/4 to 1/2 jalapeno chilli, seeded and minced (can omit); 1 tbsp fresh lime juice; and I tsp rice wine vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste. Set aside and let the flavors develop. Worth making your own even though it takes a little bit of time.
Avocado Crema from Chow
Delightfully easy and delicious on fish tacos (or any kind of taco for that matter) and great for dipping chips in. 🙂
- 1 medium avocado, cut in half lengthwise, peel and pit removed
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 medium lime)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment and process until smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Transfer the crema to a small bowl. If not using immediately, press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the surface and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 to 1 onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped or minced
4 carrots, sliced
6 cups vegetable broth (or bouillon)
1 cup red lentils (French or brown lentils may be used, but they will impart a different flavor and take longer to cook)
1/2 cup quinoa
2 teaspoons paprika (smoked, if you have it)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
greens, as desired (I used 1/2 bunch mustard greens and a couple handfuls spinach)
dash liquid smoke
1. Heat olive oil in large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add garlic and carrot, and saute for 1 minute more.
2. Add broth, lentils, quinoa, spices, and bay leaf. At this point, you can add your greens if you want them cooked down more. Stir, cover, and turn heat to medium-low.
3. Stir after around 20 minutes, and check seasonings. Adjust if needed. Add your greens, if you haven't. Cook for about 20 minutes more, until soup begins to thicken some (you might need to add more water), and lentils and quinoa are tender.
4. Add liquid smoke, and remove bay leaf if still whole. Check for seasonings once more, and eat.

Deciding to enroll at an American University in Rome is a big step in the right direction for your future as a business professional. Not only will you have the opportunity to develop a second (or third) language, but you'll also gain an insider's view of the city's unique international culture. As home to numerous NGOs, Inter-governmental organizations, and multinational companies, Rome is an ideal place to get a first-hand look at how globalized business is done. And if you envision yourself at the helm of your own business one day, read on to learn about the latest management trends in today's marketplace.
The Manager-Employee Dynamic is Changing
A good manager takes the time to train his or her employees to effectively fulfill a certain role or position. A great manager, however, will take the time to build relationships with their team in order to reveal and encourage their hidden talents. This approach is called "endogenous resourcing," and it's gaining traction fast in the business world.
Successful managers have learned that encouraging employees to feel a sense of ownership over the business will keep them happy and motivated, which in turn supports overall productivity. One approach involves asking employees to contribute to decision-making. This demonstration of trust and respect helps employees feel like they're part of a team, or a democracy – instead of a traditional "command-and-control" managerial strategy.
And remember, it's not just business students who need to be mindful of managerial trends. If, for example, you've chosen to study art history in Italy, you may one day find yourself managing a gallery, museum, or chairing an art history department. No matter your academic path, understanding shifting workplace paradigms is a big part of preparing for your future career.
A Culture of Acceptance
If you've chosen to study political science in Italy, you may find yourself using those debate skills to convince a hiring manager to take on an employee who really needs a fresh start. Not traditionally considered good hiring practice, many companies are now launching "second chance" initiatives designed to help support applicants recovering from financial or health-related crises.
Giant companies, like Cascade Engineering, have already gotten on-board with the trend – Cascade has implemented a program called "Welfare to Career." This program gives people who have been on welfare for a long time a chance to get a job and begin their financial recovery. Programs like these not only benefit the company, but also society as a whole by fostering a culture of acceptance and mutual support.
Emotion in the Workplace
Business has come a long way. There was once a time when emotions were checked at the conference room door, and it was considered unprofessional to show personal feelings. Whether your dream is to become an entrepreneur, or perhaps snag a leadership role at an existing company, know that future business leaders will want their employees to know that they're human – and have emotions like everyone else!
Trending approaches for bringing emotion back to the workplace include encouraging honesty from employees. Leaders talk with their team about how they're managing duties, about company efficiency, and about how things are going at home. Managers share their feelings about business performance and ask for suggestions for improvement.
Speaking to managers, a recent article in Forbes describes the trend of emotion in the workplace perfectly: "if you lead with your emotions, you'll communicate that you expect the best not only of employees, but for employees."
What changes would you like to see in how managers relate to employees?

assigning to a hash via splitby aardvark (Pilgrim)
|on Feb 19, 2001 at 06:43 UTC ( #59325=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
aardvark has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Happy Sunday Everybody,
Is there a way to assign to a hash via split?
Here's what I've got so far:
Does anybody know of a better way to do this?
Specifically, is there a way to assign to %rec during the split?
Then, if I add another field all I have to do is add it to @fields.
I really want less typing (Laziness, Impatience) so I can have more time to work on my Hubris. ;-)
Get Strong Together!!

The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in the state.
Conditional Waiver and Release of Lien on Final Payment
In Maryland, mechanic's liens are governed under Chapter 9 of the Maryland Real Property Code. The term "waiver" refers to giving up a legal right. In this case, the person granting the waiver is giving up the right to seek a mechanic's lien for all or part of the amount due. This assurance is usually enough to get the other party to pay. Maryland does not use statutory forms for waivers; according to the principles of contract law, the parties may agree to such modifications in writing. Maryland law, however, specifically prohibits any waiver requirement in a contract. Md. Real Prop. Code sections 9-113.
Typically, waivers come in four varieties: unconditional after a progress payment, unconditional after the final payment, conditional after a progress payment, and conditional after the final payment. Unconditional means the waiver is granted immediately, while conditional waivers depend on the property owner meeting specific requirements (conditions), such as the payment clearing the bank, before the waiver takes effect. So, unconditional waivers benefit the owner, and conditional waivers tend to favor the claimant. The payment distinctions are based on the amount due on the project, so progress payment refers to money paid on account, and final payment waivers are used once the balance is paid in full.
A valid lien waiver identifies the parties, the location of the project, relevant dates and payments, and any other information necessary for the specific transaction. After signing the form, the claimant records it with the local agency responsible for maintaining land records.
A final conditional waiver should be used when the full and final payment is made if there are any doubts about the payment method. For instance, if there are any concerns a final check won't clear, opt for a conditional waiver. The waiver is only effective upon the payment going through within a specified number of days.
This article is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for the advice from an attorney. Please contact a Maryland construction law attorney with questions about waivers or anything else about mechanic's liens.

Review: Get Rid of the places to initial each page on the Trust Deed. The Co. Recorder (Davis) does not require that each page be initialled... If I and the "borrower" had initialed each page, then I would have to use US Mail to get the form from AZ to UT because scans of initials are not acceptable, but only a notarized signature from the borrower is...

Apparently the actor Robert Pattinson can't get over the fact that he is related to Vlad the Impaler of the 1400's who was the original "Dracula", which was his family name.
"Pattinson talks about the evil monster all the time", stated Ashley Greene who has been one of the co-stars of the Twilight movie series. "It IS fantastic that a guy playing the part of today's most famous vampire, Edward Cullen, has the original vampire as an ancestor but so does Stephanie Meyer, the writer of the Twilight books."
Another co-star, Taylor Lautner told The West Coast Post the same thing.
"Robert has been hiring architects to look into building a huge house in the design of the original castle."
The original castle is still there in the Carpathian Mountains as Pattinson and girlfriend, Kristen Stewart paid a visit to it during the Spring. It is now called 'Bran Castle' but it used to belong to Prince Vlad Tepes' Dracula.
How does Stewart feel about a big house in the shape of the ancient castle?
"She told me that the castle itself is beautiful but it had a creepy feel to it. So she hopes a house in it's image would have a better atmosphere", stated Greene.

Seven women meet in a white, undefined space seconds after their deaths. Time, as we understand it, has ceased to exist, and all bodily sensations seem to have disappeared.
None of the women can remember what happened to her, or how she got there. Performance artist Shlomith from New York, chief accountant Polina from Moscow, heart transplant patient Rosa Imaculada from Brazil, upper-class Nina from Marseilles who is expecting twins, Wlbgis from the Netherlands, who suffers from throat cancer, Senegalese Maimuna, who dreams of a career as a model, and Austrian teenager, Ulrike. They don't know each other. They don't know why they are there – or where they are. In turn they try to remember, to piece together the fragments of their lives, their identities, their lost loves, and to pinpoint the moment they left their former lives behind.
Lindstedt plays with genres from essay to poetry, transitioning from humour to rage – while asking her reader to contemplate the question of death's inevitability and what follows it. As also in Lindstedt's acclaimed debut novel Scissors, Oneiron addresses the challenges of communication on several levels.

(Solved)switching from frame to another
HI everyone,
This is my first thread,i hope its good
This is the solution for a problem i faced for the last few days , the problem was switching from frame to anotherfor any purpose ,for example login username and password,and then login.
The Solution:
1)We create the frames starting with the first one we want to apear.
2)Then add event for clicking the button of login to hide the first frame and show the next frame using this command.
3)Write this code there
private void jbutton action performed (java.awt.event.actionevent evt){
this.setVisible(false); //hide the first frame -contaning the button-
new "the name of the next frame" ().setVisible(true); //show the next one
4)This wil do the job. //I tried it myself
I hope i've done well .
I suggest that you don't do it this way, that you use a CardLayout to swap JPanels instead.

13 Reasons Why Not
So to start, I must confess — I have only watched the first episode of this popular and controversial Netflix series. I don't know that I'll make myself watch the rest. But, as a social worker and child therapist, I have been paying attention to the buzz generated by the show. I know so much has already been said, that everyone from mental health professionals to school officials have asked Netflix to pull the show, and pointed out that it not only glamorizes suicide but also depicts it in a deeply problematic way. I agree that this show could be dangerous, and encourage suicide among its viewership — an already incredibly vulnerable group, given that suicide is the second leading cause of death among 10-24 year olds and is recently on the rise.
But I feel a need to speak out on this myself, not only because youth choosing to end their own lives is a terrible tragedy, but because of my own experience. I have struggled with depression since adolescence. When I was 16 I took a bunch of pills — what we in the mental health provider world sometimes refer to as an "intentional ingestion" — and ended up in the ER getting my stomach pumped and then very briefly hospitalized. Nothing glamorous about those experiences, let me tell you. It was scary and miserable.
Now to be clear — I had not experienced the traumas that Hannah, the character in the show, had leading up to her suicide. I had a loving family, and was not bullied or assaulted by anyone. I was a shy, quiet, lonely kid, and I had recently experienced the death of a close friend, but really I was just so incredibly, crushingly, sad. The sadness pushed out every other feeling, leaving me with a huge weight in my chest and the feeling that I was always on the verge of tears. And along with the sadness came one of the most insidious symptoms of depression — a growing feeling of self-loathing and shame. I honestly felt the world would be better off without me, that I should have died, rather than my friend. This belief was not logical. It was not reasonable. But it was eating away at me.
And one day I realized this feeling wasn't just going to go away. I felt I had no way to ask for help — I didn't have the language, didn't know this was called depression, didn't know how to put it into words. I had a couple close friends, and great parents, but I couldn't even think how I would begin to explain this to them. All could see was this awful sadness going on forever, every day of my life. And I knew I couldn't live like that. So I panicked. And I took the pills.
Now one way I could go in telling this story is to stress that it can get better — and it can. It has. I've learned to cope. I have continued to struggle with depression, but my life has not, as it turns out, been an endless stretch of terrible sadness, more a typical mix of joys and disappointments.
But instead I want to stress this: I regret taking those pills. I regret the pain it caused my family. Some call suicide a selfish act, and I disagree, I see it as an act of despair and desperation. But depression does make you selfish — it's a dark walled off tunnel, an incredibly painful form of self-absorption. I know I've been terrible to those close to me when I've been depressed. At times I've asked too much, asked them to fix me, to save me somehow. Other times I've shut them out, become silent and unresponsive, sarcastic and sullen. The regret I feel over these actions is deep and real — sometimes it washes over me in waves. I'm grateful for the understanding and patience of my loved ones, grateful for forgiveness and the ability to rebuild relationships. But I've grieved over the hurt I caused, the connections that couldn't be completely repaired.
To return to the topic at hand — It's not fair to put someone else in the position of being responsible for your entire emotional well-being. It's not right to threaten suicide to influence the actions of others. Suicide is not a tool of revenge, it's not a way to get back at someone. It is a terrible, desperate, tragic act. The pain caused by suicide, threats and attempts included, radiates outward, through relationships and over time.
So instead of thinking of thirteen reasons to commit suicide, or thirteen people who need to know how they've hurt you — think of thirteen reasons why not to do it. Think about the people you don't want to hurt, the things you don't want to miss. Think about thirteen things you want to do in your life, thirteen ways you can help others, or just one person who cares about you. Make a list. Start small, ask for help, and don't give up. Or as Kay Redfield Jamison puts it: "Look to the living, love them, and hold on."
If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please reach out to National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-TALK (8255) or text "help me" to the Crisis Text Line at 741741.
