Concluding Prayer
In the Spiritual Exercises St. Ignatius often calls for repetition of a meditation or exercise. The practice to return to a particular meditation or gospel passage is not simply to do it over again. The hope is that by praying it over again we make it a more affective prayer, a prayer from the heart. Repetition is a way to deepen the prayer in our very being. There are a variety of forms of repetitive prayer in all faith traditions. Examples are Transcendental Meditation, the repetition of a mantra; the Rosary in our Western Catholic faith or in the eastern faith; the Jesus Prayer, which is sometimes called the Orthodox rosary, since beads are used for it. The Jesus prayer, a form of repetitive prayer, has a long tradition and is closely related to the presence prayer we learned earlier. (The story of the Way of the Pilgrim and the Jesus Prayer.)
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
The Jesus Prayer is one of the oldest of Christian prayers, dating in its original form to the words the two blind men cried out to Jesus in Matthew 20:31. The Orthodox Churches formalized it in the 5th century. Contained in the prayer is a uniquely clear summation of the Christian faith: Jesus the man is declared by name to be the Christ, the anointed one of God, as well as being the Lord of our lives; he is declared to be the Son of God, and therefore divine; he is declared to be in the position of judgment and mercy, and we confess to be sinners requiring His grace.
The practice of the Eastern Orthodox Churches calls for the Jesus Prayer to be used for the constant prayer that Saint Paul speaks of in his First Letter to the Thessalonians (5:17), where the prayer is kept on the lips and in the hearts of believers at all times. In its ultimate form, this prayer method is called Hesychasm. The Catechism of the Catholic Church mentions the Jesus Prayer:
2616 Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during his ministry, through signs that anticipate the power of his death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer of faith, expressed in words (the leper, Jairus, the Canaanite woman, the good thief or in silence (the bearers of the paralytic, the woman with a hemorrhage who touches his clothes, the tears and ointment of the sinful woman. The urgent request of the blind men, "Have mercy on us, Son of David" or "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" has been renewed in the traditional prayer to Jesus known as the Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!" Healing infirmities or forgiving sins, Jesus always responds to a prayer offered in faith: "Your faith has made you well; go in peace.
Let us use the method of prayer we learned recently, relaxing ourselves, while praying the Jesus Prayer. As we breathe in we say to ourselves: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God and as we breathe out we say: Have mercy on me a sinner. Repeat this prayer with each breath over and over again until the mind is clear and all we are aware of is our breathing.
I come to the moment of contemplating God becoming human. As always, I enter into God's presence and feel Gods gaze rest on me, and I offer to God my whole self. Then I do three things:
Then I cover these three points in some way or otherby fantasy, meditation, or contemplationand after I have worked through them, I consider what it all means to me, to my life world, and to the whole of the human race.
At the end, I will consider what I ought lo say to God, Mary and Jesus, who now lives forever in my humanness. As I always do, I close with an Our Father.
This is to ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for an intimate knowledge of our Lord, who became human for me, that I may love God more and follow God more closely:
1. Matthew 13: 31–34 The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed or yeast.
2. Luke 9:22–25 To follow me take up your cross each day.
3. Prayer of St. Ignatius to follow our King
Eternal Lord and King of all creation, humbly I come before you. Knowing the support of Mary, your mother, and all your saints, I am moved by your grace to offer myself to you and to your work. I deeply desire to be with you in accepting all wrongs and all rejections and all povety, both actual and spiritualand I deliberately choose this, if it is for your greater service and praise. If you, my Lord and King, would so call and choose me, then take and receive me into such a way of life. (Spiriutal Exercises # 98, Flemming S. J.)
4. Philippians 2:5–8 Christ Jesus emptied himself to be human.
5. The Incarnation: Handout and Luke 1: 26–38
6. Luke 1: 46–55 Magnificat
7. Repetition of the week
1) Always begin with the preparatory prayer and the grace desired.
2) Conclude each prayer period with an Our Father.
3) Immediately after the prayer time, take a few minutes to write down what happened in the prayer - what attracted you, what words or phrases struck you, how you were moved to pray, e.g. praise, petition, thanksgiving, etc. This daily jouranling, if possible, is important

"Today was the last day of summer school for 4 of my students –Aditya, Jay, Kishan and Akash. When they were learning ,I was taking down their numbers and address so that I could mail them their photographs. Suddenly Jay came and asked me for my number . He said ,"I will call you just incase if you forget to call me ."I was so overwhelmed at that point and I realized the attachment that I have already made with my students in just 3 weeks."

Are you feeling stressed these days? I know I am. So many different things contribute to whether we feel more or less stressed. What I call "external factors" are those things around us that are just part of the world. As I write this, there are Santa Ana winds and fires all around, which always make us Californians feel nervous. The economy is tight, many people are worried about businesses failing or jobs being lost, and the general feeling seems to be one of anxiety and depression. Everywhere I go, every conversation I overhear seems to turn to economic worries, large and small. So there is certainly a lot of "external" stress out there.
Then we all have worries that are closer to home as well. If you have children, I can rest my case pretty quickly. We all worry about our children at one time or another and, as my mother used to delight in telling me, "it doesn't stop once they're grown". I didn't think so then, but I agree now. I still worry if they're sick, or if things aren't going well in their lives, and I think that's true for all parents, from the time children are first born.
Our own lives can feel stressful day to day, as well. Is it just me, or does it seem that we are busier every year? We try to fit so much into every day, and sometimes it just doesn't seem realistic. So many articles I've read say that with the advent of "the information age" of computers and continuous connectivity came a real feeling of information overload. We have news 24/7, we work from home after hours more often than not, and we have the ability now to find out anything, about anyone, anywhere, anytime. Somehow, at least for me, that can translate to being on the computer looking something up that seems really vital and interesting, instead of just … relaxing.
Which brings me to my point. We really have to take responsibility for how much stress we let into our lives. Some things we can't control and some things we can. One of my favorite things used to be driving around, running my errands, listening to talk radio. That seemed liked a great thing when things were going well; not so much these days when all the news seems to be bad. So, time to turn it off! And I do the same with the news. It isn't helpful to watch minute by minute coverage of fires, or other disasters, or war, or the economy, or …. you name it.
Now I'm not saying we should be uninformed. I think it's very important to have a good grasp of the issues, get news from varied sources to form intelligent opinions, and in general stay connected. But I don't think that it's necessarily healthy to do that constantly, all day long. A good experiment to try, if you're feeling stressed by the "externals", is to limit yourself to certain time periods to get your news as a general rule, and then go on about your business. You may find that your day feels much more manageable and peaceful.
Another to watch out for is the late night news. For myself, and for many clients who have a little trouble winding down at night, watching the news right before bed isn't a great idea. Too many times I've done that, only to be caught by surprise by a story that was very upsetting for one reason or another, especially if it involved children. I've found it works better for me to find out what's gone on during the day earlier in the evening, and to reserve the later hours for winding down and relaxing … there's that word again!
I realize that to some people it may seem that I'm advocating putting one's head in the sand and just ignoring current events. That's not my intent. What I'm suggesting is that constant immersion in things we really can't control, and especially things that are negative that we can't control, is likely to cause us to feel quite stressed. Many years ago, I recall reading a study in psychology class about monkeys who were subjected to some sort of stress. If they could control it by turning it on and off, they handled it rather well. If they had no control at all, they seemed to handle it quite poorly. Try turning off the stress, and see how you feel. My guess is the world will go on, and that your world will function a bit better.

Earning $1k and Beyond
My progress of Ramit Sethi's Earn1k Course
Fake Earn1k Testimonials?
June 29, 2012Posted by on
I was on YouTube the other day and came across some testimonials from Ramit's first season of Earn1k. The videos I found were from back in the winter of 2010. I think Ramit asked students do video reviews of Earn1k because YouTube is a great marketing platform. It is completely fine for a business to ask their customers to make a public review, just as long as it's honest, but these seem made up to trick potential customers into believing the hype.
There is something fishy about the past students' testimonial YouTube videos…they seem fake, non-genuine, and even scripted. Luckily, I think Sethi either didn't really watch the videos or was too embarrassed to ask them to take them down. Watch the videos and decide.
PS. If you look at the amount of videos created by these separate accounts each user only has one video created by them, which is this testimonial. These could be an experiment by Ramit to have use YouTube as an advertising platform for his course, and it may not have worked out the way he wanted. All the YouTube testimonials were posted within a 5 day period, which makes it obvious the creators didn't just randomly decide to post a video of their experience.
PSS. Seochil was the only commentator at the time I wrote this, and they kept saying they will enroll in the course.
Here's the first one, Katie. You could ague she was nervous and used a pre-written script so she wouldn't forget what she wanted to say, but after seeing all the Earn1k reviews you might think otherwise:
Next one is Dave, from Boston. He's my favorite, it's so obvious he is reading and not speaking from the heart. It's funny, watch his rhythm and pace.
Third is Charlotte. Her's was a little better than the last two but still seemed like she memorized a script. It sounds more like a sales pitch more than a review.
Fourth is Rebecca. Her answer, as well as the others, sound the same, as if they were answering the same question. These definitely don't seem like random people who thought it would be a good idea to share their thoughts and experiences about Earn1k to me.
Fifth is Chris. His was better because it seems more genuine; however it was made during the same week as the others, and like the others it's the only video made by this YouTuber.

"Luckily, I think Sethi either didn't really watch the videos or was too embarrased (sic) to ask them to take them down." I appreciate your blog for giving your take and I hope others will do the same, but that statement is ridiculous and based on absolutely nothing.
Xray vision May 6, 2014 at 8:22 pm
offcourse .. that's the whole idea of the blog and everything he does.. it's all about the image and looking professional.. but especially being good at talking and persuasion.. mind controlling kinda and pretending to be more than you actually are.. phony stuff actually but brought in such way that people don't realise.. like a magician or a hustler :p

Photos from the Kanto plain area (mostly) of Japan: Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, and surrounding areas. Not likely to see many geisha or samurai. Just the Japan which has little to do with myths and movies---and yes, Tokyo IS part of the "real Japan."
Monday, March 19, 2007
Tough to find much wildlife in Tokyo. It's here, but not much. A lot of birds and waterfowl are around the Tamagawa (river) area. Now if only I had a decent long lens...With the Nikkor 70-300G, it takes tons of work and a lot of luck to get a somewhat satisfactory photo under most conditions.

"Once in a while I will witness a majestic place and say my 'oohs' and 'ahhs' and remember it so well when I am old that once again I will travel through time and reminisce!"
~ Rayts talking to herself (after witnessing something 'majestic')~
Like a true kingdom, every activity in
On our way to the gate of the Royal Palace at around one in the afternoon.
The lone guard in front of the palace.
We finished visiting the
While waiting, we've been passed by so many vendors selling hammocks, postcards, food, drinks, etc. Oki even befriended one of the young vendors. Meanwhile, I met two Singaporean women who were also waiting for the palace to open. They came to
The circuitous tale of the tourists and the vendors. "In Cambodia, where there are tourists, there are vendors".
At exactly , the gate of the palace opened and immediately we headed for the queue to get our entrance tickets. We paid $6.50 each (inclusive of camera or video cam). The lady at the booth repeated to me the amount (which was said in thick accent that I didn't quite understand), she smiled and gave me two brochures about the
The famous Chanchhaya Pavillon. This shot was taken in the morning, thus the beautiful sky. We've passed by this route three times. At night, the place is gorgeous! See previous post.
After passing through the narrow path on our way to the main complex, everything went on smoothly. Inside the brochures are route guides and history of the site. Some of the visitors brought tourist guides with them. Oki and I just went on with the flow of the people (we didn't even follow the route).
Passing by a narrow path we were met by a bunch of bright yellow chrysanthemum all the way to the main complex. I was astounded by the beauty of the place. "Wow. This palace rocks!" Not only are the architecture amazing, the landscape is like a cutout from coffeetable books. The palace is surrounded by gardens with tropical flowers and plants. Really beautiful. Suddenly, I felt like I was brought into another place.
The first structure we came upon was the Pochani Pavillon. It is an open hall originally constructed as a classical dance theater. The pavilion, built in 1912, is currently used for Royal receptions and meetings. We watched people ascend into its wide and shiny stairs. There were monks everywhere. They suit the place so well especially with their tangerine robes. When we got to the top, we have to leave our slippers to enter.
The Pochani Pavillon with its beautiful garden.
Monks ascending the stairs, going inside the Pochani Pavillon.
At the top you'll find this sign: "Please shoes leave here"
Then there's the Throne Hall, the primary audience hall of the King, used for coronations and diplomatic and other official meetings. This is said to be the second to be built in the complex. The first was built from wood under King Norodom. The present building was constructed in 1917 and inaugurated by King Sisowath in 1919. I had the nicest time taking photos of this particular structure. To me, it looks like a huge boat with all the flags playing with the wind.
The beautiful and majestic Throne Hall.
Like I said, monks were everywhere. Their robes stood out amongst the crowd and they always look good side by side the palace. Most of the monks we met were really friendly to us and most of them are like us, travelers. They were very kind to take photos with us.
Monks going to the Pochani Pavillon.
Could be them again? This time overlooking the Hor Samrith Phimean (Bronze Palace). This structure was built in 1917 as a repository for the royal regalia and attributes.
One interesting structure is the Napoleon III Pavilion. From afar, it looked so out of place. A European-style doll house amid the grand and distinctly Khmer-style buildings. The pavilion was actually the first permanent structure on the site of the
The out of place, Napoleon III Pavillon.

Last week, Matthew's sister turned 21 and I was lucky enough to be invited to her family celebrations.
Festivities began at Dandelyan, in the Mondrian hotel. Every time we've walked past, Dandelyan has looked super busy but when we were there it was just nicely so. Their extensive menu is inspired by the botanical and is split up into several different sections, including like "cereals", "grains" and "florals" and M and I took our time getting to grips with it. I kicked things off with a Monroe, which is a blend of vodka, pommeaux (whatever that is), lemon, wheat, and passionfruit, and which arrived looking suitably beautiful.
Round 2 saw a Dandelyan Sour from the "floral" section, which apparently contained dandelion capillaire and garden bitters and which tasted grassy in a good way. Also, I went on a little snoop around on my way to the bathroom and concluded that the Mondrian is a seriously gorgeous hotel. If I ever have the cash to take a little staycation, I would definitely want to stay there.
Soon enough, it was time to head next door to the Oxo Tower for dinner. We were a little early for our reservation so took up seats at the bar, where I had a quite unmemorable cocktail that was a little too sweet for me.
From there, though, things only went up. The service was so slick and so personable, and although our table was in the middle of the room with not-great views, I was more than fascinated by watching the waiters' station instead.
Foodwise, I stuck with just bread rather than a starter (if you go, I totally recommend the potato & rosemary bread), but Matthew informs me that his smoked salmon scotch egg was out of this world and also on the table was a sharing dish of langoustine and avocado puree that looked pretty damn impressive.
I opted for the monkfish for my main course, which came with clams, a "tomato and potato nest," and a kind of tomato sauce that they poured over the top. I've never had monkfish except in Portugal but this was delicious – perfectly meaty. The tomato and potato nest seemed like an odd concept but was also great, with what I can only describe as little crunchy sticks poking out for texture.
At first glance, we weren't too enthralled with the dessert menu but M and I begrudgingly agreed to share the most chocolate-y looking of the bunch:. This turned out to be arguably the greatest decision I have ever made because it was DELICIOUS. They don't have the dessert menu online and I can't remember exactly what it included/all my pictures are awful, but it was basically four little mini chocolate desserts and each of them were sublime.
On the way out we couldn't resist popping out onto the balcony to get some pictures of the view, which from only 8 floors up still holds its own against the likes of the Sky Garden.
I have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect from the Oxo Tower, but the super-slick service & the food more than convinced me of its merits. I'd certainly go back for a celebration meal!
PS. Apologies for the lack of photos – I don't like to take my camera out at family celebrations (especially not ones that aren't even my family) but I couldn't resist posting anyway!

Earth's Catastrophic Past - Geology, Creation & the Flood, by Andrew A. Snelling, Ph.D. | 28Fev2012 19:02:59
The Institute for Creation Research presents the long-awaited update to The Genesis Flood. Written by researcher Andrew Snelling—one of the world's leading geologists in the creation science movement—Earth's Catastrophic Past provides up-to-date geological evidence that demonstrates the authority and accuracy of the biblical account of creation and the Flood.

Give Doug Ford this much: one has to admire, in a grudging way, someone with the sheer lack of self-awareness required to believe that Torontonians are clamouring for a Trumpian mayor after four years of his late brother, nine years of Stephen Harper, and the Category 5 hurricane that is #45's presidency.
What this city needs, circa 2018, is a middle-aged white male blow-hard who's going to, uh, make Toronto great again! His value proposition is just so obvious.
Seriously, the most obvious problem with Ford's bid for a second appearance on the electoral cat-walk is that Mayor John Tory has spent three years proactively scooping large chunks of his future rival's platform: Tory saved a nearly useless piece of downtown highway at extravagant cost; he blithely ignored the advice of just about every transit expert this side of the Atlantic and proceeded with the Scarborough subway; he's imposed across-the-board spending cuts, kept taxes low and refused his city manager's advice to create new revenue tools; and while he didn't yelp about the war on the car, he nonetheless made it his mission to ensure that traffic keeps moving.
Sure, Tory's tone is more centrist, polite and conciliatory, and he's mostly resisted the urge to lash himself to symbolic causes (war on graffiti, gravy train, etc.). But programmatically, Tory's track record unquestionably hugs the right side of the road. A Ford in Tory clothing, so to speak.
Which means Ford's campaign will likely rely heavily on a confection of populist half-truths, ominous allegations, and a re-do of the sort of sloganeering that put his late brother in office (such as that he'll be able to build the Scarborough subway entirely with money from developers; that he'll freeze taxes; that he'll cancel something big and allegedly undesirable that's not really his to cancel; that he'll contract out the rest of the City's waste management).
Ford, in sum, will pledge to pull the emergency brake on the John Tory gravy train, all while invoking the memory of Saint Rob to burnish his own less cuddly image.
The fact-checking brigades will be loosed upon the political landscape, and it's really anyone's guess whether the inevitable torrent of Pinocchio moments will have an impact on how Ford conducts himself.
I personally think he's misread the moment. Canadians generally hold a very dim view of Trump-style politics. One need only cast one's eyes in the direction of poor old Patrick Brown, who is forced to disavow his rump of caucus nutbars and Bible-thumpers on what seems like a weekly basis. Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, who is working hard to stress his own dimple-cheeked sunny ways, had to scramble recently to distance himself from Rebel Media, which seemed to have cultivated a rather chummy relationship with the non-Harper before its neo-Nazi outburst during the Charlottesville riot.
Closer to home, a fantasy football Forum Research poll released on the weekend by the Toronto Sun shows Tory with support of 64% among decided and leaning, compared to about a third for Ford.
It's trite to point out that the election is Tory's to lose, although it most definitely is. Rather, what I'd say will be the key dynamic is how the mayor positions himself versus Ford, and whether he stays in his lane until election day. Does Tory attempt to tack slightly left in order to shore up his support among those centrist and downtown voters who are often disappointed with him? Does he tack right because his spidey senses tell him that Ford may actually be able to grow beyond that third of Toronto voters who would support a lawn mower if it promised to freeze taxes? Or does he take a Liberal-esque stay-the-course stance that pivots on his ability to claim he delivered on key pledges while getting City Hall off the New York Times home page?
My guess is that if the left doesn't ante up a challenger, which seems increasingly unlikely, Tory will mostly take for granted all those centre and centre-left voters in the core. He'll run a steady-as-she-goes centre-right campaign and do so until Ford spooks him into tacking hard right, as happened to George Smitherman in 2010, and which he'll do even while warning ominously that a Ford mayoralty will inflict draconian chaos onto the city's beloved municipal services.
I don't even want to think about what that defensive right-ist drift may look like: another ridiculous transit pledge (we need a subway to Sherway Gardens more than the Relief Line!), aggressive privatization promises, or a moratorium on new revenue tools? Absent a meaningful left-leaning challenger, no one's going to call out Tory on such policy fiascos.
His positioning will also be determined by the outcome of the June, 2018, provincial election. If the Liberals and Kathleen Wynne get re-elected, Tory's got plenty of incentive to remain in the centre. But if Brown figures out how to convince voters that he wouldn't hand the keys to the GTA to a bunch of rural yahoos in southwestern Ontario, I'd expect Tory to mosey his way towards whatever the Progressive Conservatives are saying about housing, transit, and other like-minded issues.
It would be nice to think that by this point in his political career and mayoralty, Tory has learned to be his own man, and to understand how to occupy the political space that he seems most temperamentally inclined to support. Yet there's much to suggest that he's nowhere nearly that secure, which is why Ford could yet inflict a tidal sort of gravitational force in a race that he is unlikely to win.
Ethics Watch
When former mayor Rob Ford was initially diagnosed with a metastasizing soft-tissue cancer, his family set up a website and online guest-book for well-wishers, GetWellRobFord.com. Spacing's publisher/editor Matthew Blackett submitted a note using a cheeky alias email, firstname.lastname@example.com on the hunch that the email could be put to future use. The website never stated what it would do with the email addrwsses collected. And like clockwork, "Sandro" has received two mass emails from Doug Ford in response, one an invitation to a celebration of Rob's life scheduled for the first anniversary of his death in March, 2016; and the second last week, inviting "Sandro" to the Ford Fest where Doug announced his mayoralty bid. Both emails could be a violation of Canada's Anti-Spam laws.
Doug was the author of many of the dirty tricks and rule-skirting that occurred on Rob's watch. The expedient and undisclosed re-purposing of a condolence book into a political email list would certainly fit into this category. Let's hope Elections Toronto will be watching.

A regional nature park
What is a Regional Nature Park?
According to the Swiss Nature and Cultural Heritage Protection (schweizerisches Natur- und Heimatschutzgesetz NHG) the Binntal Landscape Park is a «Regional Nature Park of National Importance». Regional Nature Parks connect protection and upkeep of valuable habitats and extraordinarily beautiful landscapes with economic development. Agriculture, tourism and industry can benefit from these scenic advantages but at the same time should treat them with care. The aim is to have a harmonious balance between preservation and development. The residents of the park regulate the direction of the development.
They are thus actively involved in the process. The parks help to ensure the economic, social and cultural autonomy of the villages and regions in the future. The aims of the Regional Nature Parks are:
- Quality preservation and appreciation of nature and landscape
- Strengthening of sustainably operated economy
- Sensitisation and environmental education
- Management, communication and spatial protection
A label for Swiss Parks
Besides the labelling of products like «AOC» or «Bio», the labelling of regions has become more and more important. Regions like Binntal hope to gain new economic impulses from labels like «Landscape Park» or «Regional Nature Park». Hence, the domestic resource wood, for instance, shall regain a higher significance and be processed and used in the area.
In May 2005 the sponsors of the parks and park projects of national significance have united and formed the «Network of Swiss Parks». Their aim is to achieve a cohesive appearance thanks to the national label «Swiss Parks», coordinated marketing and advertising campaigns and also the national and international transfer of knowledge amongst parks and park projects.
For more information go to the website of the Network of Swiss Parks: www.paerke.ch

Every year, Innocent Drinks has a fundraising event for Age Action, that they call The Big Knit.
This year I've decided to try and knit some mini hats and send them off: these will be put on Innocent Smoothie bottles and for every bottle with a hat, Innocent Drinks will give 30c to Age Action.
So far I've made 4 hats and my daughter made one (the yellow one, she also made my Pom pom, for some reason mine just keep falling apart):
It's been fun to make these, and also an opportunity to experiment with different hat shapes. I might get around to make another 2 or 3 before I send them off on Monday (the deadline is October 4th). I got the pattern for the bird on Deramore's website (they have really funky ones you can download for free here). Unfortunately my bird hat doesn't look as good as the one from the pattern; my excuse is that I didn't have the same size yarn in the right colours.
I hope I can make more next year, if only I thought of starting in early summer!

Red, and everyone else,
I am just curious as to all of the options out there to get involved with assisting our Musky fisheries. In the past, I have been part of an Organization or two and have also supported projects like the Minnow Funds to help supply food to hatcheries. I have not seen much related to Minnow funds over the last year or two. Are those still being done or are they just going thru different channels now? Anyhow, I am just looking for new ways that I might be able to get involved and offer support in some way, shape or form. Hope everyone has an outstanding 2018.

Tigerville, S.C. - North Greenville extended its win streak to three games on Wednesday with a 12-2 win over Southern Virginia.
Hanna Hawkins led the Crusaders with three goals while Natalie Dufresne, Monica Colwell, and Sarah Smith had two goals each.
The Crusaders put up seven goals in the first half. Sarah Smith got things started for NGU with back-to-back goals to give NGU a 2-0 lead. Hanna Hawkins would add her own back-to-back goals midway through the half to extend the Crusader lead to 4-0.
North Greenville tacked on three more goals in the final 11-minutes as Natalie Dufresne, Monica Colwell, and Emily Colson extended the NGU lead to seven before intermission.
NGU would tack on four more goals in the second half before the Knights broke through with their first goal of the game that cut North Greenville's advantage to 11-1. One more goal from SVU would make the score 11-2 before Candace Petit added her only goal of the game to give NGU a 10-point cushion.
The win improved the Crusaders 4-3 on the season. NGU will travel to Greenville, Tennessee on Thursday afternoon to take on Tusculum at 4pm.

Maximally positive polynomial systems supported on circuits

1 LAMA - Laboratoire de Mathématiques
Abstract : A real polynomial system with support $\calW \subset \Z^n$ is called {\it maximally positive} if all its complex solutions are positive solutions. A support $\calW$ having $n+2$ elements is called a circuit. We previously showed that the number of non-degenerate positive solutions of a system supported on a circuit $\calW \subset\Z^n$ is at most $m\calW+1$, where $m\calW \leq n$ is the degeneracy index of $\calW$. We prove that if a circuit $\calW \subset \Z^n$ supports a maximally positive system with the maximal number $m\calW+1$ of non-degenerate positive solutions, then it is unique up to the obvious action of the group of invertible integer affine transformations of $\Z^n$. In the general case, we prove that any maximally positive system supported on a circuit can be obtained from another one having the maximal number of positive solutions by means of some elementary transformations. As a consequence, we get for each $n$ and up to the above action a finite list of circuits $\calW \subset \Z^n$ which can support maximally positive polynomial systems. We observe that the coefficients of the primitive affine relation of such circuit have absolute value $1$ or $2$ and make a conjecture in the general case for supports of maximally positive systems.

Reporter Gets Pissy On Live TV
Technical Difficulties On Live Newscast - Watch more Funny Videos
You know, it really cracks me up when reporters get all bent out of shape. I mean what do they have to be miserable about? They stand in front of a camera and read cue cards ferchrisakes! I would understand if they actually had to do some real work and it didn't exactly come off as planned, but dude in that video above is probably doing his job in a pair of fucking shorts. Try working in a factory Mr. Pissy Pants. Or busting your ass in a warehouse for minimum wage. How about taking care of five unruly kids with no help at all.
Seems to me you have it pretty easy there dickhead, so next time you feel the need to make yourself look like a total jackass -- on live television no less -- why not take a moment and think about all of the hard-working people out there who don't get paid thousands of dollars a week and actually have a reason to throw a temper tantrum.

In a Tibetan city high above the clouds, a figure in a red, hooded robe hurried through narrow streets. It was just after midnight, and a cold wind blows against the tightly-closed windows and doors, accompanied by a thin flurry of snow. The man in the red robe holds a lantern in his hand, which is shuttered and gives off no light. His footsteps are barely perceptible above the whistling of the wind, the man's eyes searching furtively in the darkness. The man finally recognizes the alley which he seeks, and darts to the left. At the end of the alley, there is a door which appears to be weathered and stained. However, the man recognizes ancient symbols on the door that would be unrecognizable to the casual observer. The man presses himself against the door and knocks frantically. Then, he waits, breathing heavily and cradling the shuttered lantern. As he waits, the snow develops from a trickling flurry to a heavy snowfall.
After what may have been an hour, the door cracks open, and a hand grabs the red-robed man and pulls him inside. Inside the door, it is pitch black. The red-robed man only feels a hand tightly gripping his arm. A voice speaks, and only then does the man see two rows of long, white teeth, almost like fangs, hovering in the darkness above his head.
What brings you here? Says the voice belonging to the long teeth.
I come to see the Speaker of Truth, says the man.
What do you bring with you? The voice is almost a guttural hiss.
I bring flame and pearls.
The tall figure slowly exhales, and pulls the robed man around a corner, to a passageway with candles on the wall, a single door visible at the other end. The robed man can now see that the tall figure is wearing a robe much like his own, except that his hood is drawn up over his head so his face is not visible. He looks down at the hand dragging him along, and sees that it is gnarled, cracked, and not entirely human. The fingernails seemed unnaturally long and the color of ash. The man, while being initiated in the secret ways that have been hidden for centuries from the world, is still frightened by the prospect of things that have not yet been revealed to him. He clutches the shuttered lantern even tighter to his body, his heart palpitating at what he must disclose.
At the end of the hall, the tall figure opens another door covered in symbols, and shoved the man inside. The door closed behind him, and the man in the red robe beheld the Speaker of Truth sitting in front of him, his face wreathed in smoke. He was much older than most people the red-robed man had ever seen, with a smooth head covered in tiny tattoos. He wore an old brown robe, and held an old, yet thin, book in his hands. He sat in an old wooden chair in a room full of books like the one he held in his hand, tattered and falling apart. The smoke from the arghila pipe sitting on the floor flowed to the dark ceiling. He stared at the red-robed man over half-moon glasses, and beckoned his head for him to speak. The red-robed man forgot all about the fear he felt from the fanged creature that brought him down the hallway, and now his words spilled out.
Speaker of Truth, I have brought something that beckons a new age.
Immediately, the Speaker of Truth raised a gnarled, tobacco-stained hand to silence the man, and began to speak, almost recite, in a low voice like a bubbling spring.
Let me tell you, my son. For centuries, humankind stretched and clamored to place our heads among the stars, to bring forth a new age. A mere 200 years ago, they put man and machines on the moon, one person could talk to another on the other side of the world. Humankind traveled through the air, their massive vessels visible as moving lights against the sky. We grew out of our past, beyond the Gods and Giants that surpassed us and ruled over our lives and legends. Now, we have recused ourselves, the tide has receded, the waves failing to reach the mountaintops. There are no more moving lights in the sky; most of the world is quiet again. We now live in bleached out wastelands, among the straws and twigs, in the dust and ashes of our hubris.
The man in the red robe listened to this speech, his fingers twitching.
Speaker of Truth, they have returned.
At this moment, the red-robed man brought out the lantern, and tore off the shutters. The Speaker of Truth leaned forward to see what was inside. It appeared to be a large, green gemstone, an emerald of unsurpassed perfection.
It is but an emerald, said the Speaker of Truth.
No, it is more than that, said the man, and he gently thumped the glass of the lantern.
The emerald vibrated. It then unfolded itself, and the Speaker of Truth's eyes grew large with amazement. The emerald was now a tiny dragon, with golden fins and flashing green scales. The dragon undulated and twisted inside the lantern, staring back at the Speaker of Truth with pearlescent eyes. The Speaker of Truth reached out his hands to take the lantern, and at that instant the dragon breathed a jet of flame that filled the inside of the lantern. The man dropped the lantern with a cry, and it shattered on the floor with a crash and an explosion of smoke. Both men jumped back, and the dragon darted from the cloud of smoke to the top of the arghila, its claws gripping the red-hot coals. It opens its mouth to reveal teeth and flame.

Before we get to the meat, it is necessary to recap certain a bit of last week's show in order to provide a lucid chronology of tonight's events.
So let's face it, last week left a lot to be desired. It just didn't have any bit, pun intended. This week was essentially better if only because Russell Edgington was included in more scenes; never mind that he disappears later.
It turns out, that the thing Gran wanted Sookie to find under the bed wasn't the old newspaper clippings leading her to Dearborne. That was just a coincidental detour. What was under the bed was a scroll with a bunch of fairy writing that's super old and, thanks to practically-elder-fairy Morella's magical abilities, translates into some old contract that says the next fae-bearing female Stackhouse heir has been promised to this Warlow guy. So, that's Sookie right? It would explain why the guy was stalking her parents.
The Vampire Authority, and their desire to rule the world remained the central theme, as it will for the remainder of the season. After Bill's (Stephen Moyer) suggestion last week, their plans begin to take form as they start bombing various True Blood factories around the world making vampires a little worried that they're going to have to start eating people again. But we're also left with Bill's wondering if God really is a vampire and wants vamps to erratically drink human blood. For all intents and purposes, Bill appears to have lost his mind and after having crazy hallucinogenic cowboy sex with Salome (Valentina Cervi) he betrays Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) who has been trying his very best to escape. This serves as a nice twist for Bill who has always held the moral high ground but now appears to have surrendered that duty to Eric.
Back at the station Sheriff Andy (Chris Bauer) and Jason (Ryan Wanten) figure out that Dearborne is none other than the 'Dragon' who's been leading a group of rubber mask wearing killers who target supernatural people.
With Luna's (Janina Gavankar) identity crisis over for the time being she and Sam (Sam Trammell) literally turn into flies on the wall to listen in on police business and head out to exact their own revenge on the 'Dragon' and his followers.
All three storylines converge on a pig farm where Sookie and Hoyt (Jim Parrack) are being held and about to be fed to pigs by Dearborne. Last week I guessed that Dearborne was the Dragon but apparently I was slightly off as it turns out that his mistress(?), Sweety (yup, that's her name) is actually the leader of the killers. Sweety holds a vendetta against all supernatural beings as her husband left her for a shape shifter (think of the benefits…). Sam and Luna save Sookie and capture Sweety. Andy guns down Dearborne and they all live happily ever after.
No, probably not.
The fire demon story comes to a pointless end as Patrick (Scott Foley) kidnaps Arlene (Carrie Preston) in order to kill Terry (Todd Lowe) and save his own ass. His plan backfires with Arlene stabbing him in the neck with a hairpin (don't underestimate redheads) and Terry shoots his former friend. Oh, and the fire demon conveniently shows up like an evil version of Mr. Clean to get rid of the body and clean up the mess.
Pam wins the best line of the night award when Tara attempts to have a heart to heart moment Pam replies, "Just because we drank a bitch together, does not make us Oprah and Gayle." Fangtasia quickly gets turned upside down, along with Pam's world, as a new Sheriff is appointed and the decree is given by the local monarch (who I thought was Bill??) that it's now okay to eat humans again. Yay for vampires! Booo for everyone else.
After getting beat up last week, Alcide (Joe Manganiello) has a flashback to when his father (ex-Terminator, Robert Patrick) lectured him about the importance of being in a pack. He then visits his father who is now a drunk and no longer part of a pack…and then he morphs into a robotic killing machine and tears Alcide apart! Alright, the last part didn't happen but if it had it would have made these scenes much more interesting.
Back at the barn, Russell (Denis O'Hare) and his new BFF Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) meet the redneck werewolves and feed them vampire blood establishing that Russell still commands his own werewolf army. They then steal Luna's daughter who's currently a cute little werewolf puppy. There's a pretty good chance that Luna isn't going to be impressed.
With almost all the storylines merged there should be a lot of blood soaked, werewolf biting, fairy lightning throwing action over the final three episodes!
Molly's gone. Boo! Tina Majorino's character seemed destined for an early departure, but I still would've loved to see her stick around, or at the very least, escape the mayhem so that there was a chance we'd see her again. Alas, she was martyred to the cause of proving just how serious the Lilith worshippers are about eliminating nonbelievers. She went out without groveling, and we got to see a demonstration of her iStake app, so that part was a win.
Meanwhile, Nora and Bill attempted to sway Eric by giving him more Lilith blood. This time, both Nora and Eric witnessed Godric's appearance. He encouraged them to fight Lilith (whom he says is a godless god), then let Lilith scrape his throat open (gross!) and tear his head off. So once again, we got to see Godric let himself die.
I don't think this display did anything to change Nora's opinion of Lilith. But it either gave Eric an opportunity to pretend to have a change of heart, or he really did buy the whole thing and now believes. I'm convinced it's an act. What other choice does he have right now?
Also going along with it is Jessica, who was brought in by Bill's guards and immediately saw the symptoms of religious fanaticism in her maker. She seems apprehensive about the situation, but appears to be going along with it for now, probably because she knows she has no other choice.
Hoyt got out of the hospital determined for a fresh start. And by that, he meant a move to Alaska and a memory that doesn't include his first love cheating on him with his best friend. He begged Jessica to glamour his mind to remove her and Jason from it completely and she complied. It's probably the happiest kind of ending Hoyt can have, as unfortunate as it is. But it was evident by the way Jessica flashed back to their first kiss, and Jason tried to keep him from leaving town later on that it'll take a while for them to get over Hoyt's departure and the knowledge that neither of them have a place in his mind or heart anymore.
Russell didn't seem all that enthusiastic about the Lilith thing as it was. He was more team-mayhem than anything else, and tonight, he asserted his age and dominance, being the oldest of the Authority vampires, and took off. Before that, he broke out the fancy accent and declared that he "will have the sun." He seems to be on a mission to either synthesize fairy blood in the way the Japanese synthesized human blood with True Blood, or maybe he's just going to collect himself a bunch of fairies to see if he can stretch the effects of their blood. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of them around Bon Temps these days.
Luna and Sam are determined to get to Emma, who is now in the clutches of Newlin. They shifted into mice and made their way into Newlin's bag. He brought them back to his place and that's the last we saw of them. Obviously, they can shift to escape, but Emma can't. She might be able to shift back into her wolf-cub form but it might not be easy for her to escape Newlin's place that way.
The new sheriff told Pam she needed to help boost the vampire population. That sounds like it falls under the same umbrella of mayhem the authority is trying to create. WIth the True Blood factories destroyed, people are already starting to question how the vampires are surviving. More vampires would mean more human deaths. Pam and Tara were understandably less interested in that than they were in the threat the sheriff laid on them, stating that if they didn't go along with his plan, he was taking everything away from Pam, including Tara and Fangtasia.
Pam was willing to walk away from the club if that's what it took, but Tara made the decision easier by cornering the sheriff and chopping off his head. It was a risky move and sooner or later this kind of bloodbath is going to give Ginger a heart attack, but Tara gets points for throwing in the post-slaying one-liner: "Nobody f*** with us in our house." Being a vampire really suits her.
Sookie killed new-vampire Mike with her chopsticks. Yuck! And also yuck: learning Mike the coroner kept his autopsy photos with his porn on his computer. TMI. Sidenote: What's the deal with Mike begin turned in the first place? Seems like that might be relevant, given how random his appearance was.
Russell took Newlin out for "Greek," which for him translates to a frat party massacre. What a romantic date. The two danced, and Newlin seemed to be on board with Russell's walk-in-the-sun plan. But is Russell just using him? Or is love really in the air?
Sam and Lafayette came through for Jessica by protecting her against some Obama leftovers.
Finally, Newlin had a TV debate with a representative, which he probably won not long after reminding him of the "man to man" time they spent together and telling him if he "probed hard enough" he might see that they're on the "same team."
OK, one request I think is appropriate, will someone tell True Blood writers to pencil Roman back in the script. I know I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Series: Rebirth Harley Quinn #23
Publisher: DC Comics
Publication Date: July 5, 2017
Source: Bought/ Own
Goodreads Synopsis:
"RED ROSES" part three! The tension between Harley, Poison Ivy and Red Tool hits the boiling point! Who's gonna stay—and who's gonna go? And in the backup story, "Harley Loves Joker" part seven, Batman is back on the deranged duo's trail!
Mini Review:
Harley is not dealing with other peoples issues in this installment - she is going to have a nice dinner with her parents (dangit!). She deals with Harley Sinn for the time being and goes out to enjoy a nice fancy dinner with the rents. Nothing ever goes as planned though so she might have to beat someone while there. Seeing her interact with her parents is very funny.
Another fun thing in this issue is that the Red Tool and Poison Ivy are teaming up on some mysterious project that may involve Harley ... waiting to see though...
Really enjoying this series again.

Dear Authors:
Please provide the ISSUE NUMBERS of the articles in the references. I cannot look ALL of them up for you.
Your Proofreader
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
4 weeks ago
This was supposed to be a blog about extracting every ounce of pleasure from life, but it seems to be, in fact, largely a dream journal with notes on baking, Trader Joe's, and celebrity chefs.
1. Stage 1 is a period of excitement and euphoria over the newness of the surroundings.
2. Stage 2--culture shock--emerges as individuals feel the intrusion of more and more cultural differences into their own images of self and security.
What if I search the EBSCO with an AND instead of an OR, and the OR term has to be in the abstract, not just anywhere in the text, and then I might get one additional hit, and if the article only has an abstract available, I can look for full text on Google Scholar, and if it's not there, I'll use WorldCat and see if it's an B.U. and then ask G. to find it for me there? Maybe that would find me two more articles! I already have 14 and I only need 10 for next week, but I'm on a ROLL!
Dear L________:
I am not a yet a teacher. I feel presumptuous telling the field of education what it needs to fix. Please advise.
Give it a try.
Hi Michael,
I'm feeling very angry with you.
I have honestly answered every question you have asked me, but you suggest that I'm hiding behind a mask. Yet, you have still not answered the very basic question I've asked you.
I don't do mindmelds and I don't play mind games. I think you are being very manipulative. I can't be friends. If you see it differently, then our perceptions are so different that we are incompatible as friends, anyway.
Good luck.

Mistress Gaia is an extremely sexy and supple brunette. That's why slaves allow her to humiliate them like this. She smothers this slave with facesitting pushing her ass and pussy down on his face with her full weight. She adds verbal humiliation and shits in his mouth. The turds fill his mouth and she uses her feet to shove it deeper in. She wants him to swallow all her shit.
Mistress Diana is a stunning brunette scat mistress with an hourglass body who smokes a cigarette while she is shitting in the mouth of her toilet slave. She pushes out a large turd that looks to big for her tiny asshole. The turd goes right into the mouth of her scat slave and starts coiling up on his face. He just lies there while the messy shit spreads over his face.
This scat mistress has no shortage of scat slaves who are more than happy to eat her shit. This is an amazing compilation of her satisfying her scat fetish by shitting in the mouths of her slaves. These losers lie on the floor spreading her sweet ass cheeks apart and let her watery shit flow right into their mouth. They chew and eat it as fast as they can because she keeps shitting.

Next to property, a favourite topic among analysts is figuring out when the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will raise the cash rate. There are even odds offered through betting agencies.
In case you were wondering, betting agents seem to favour a rate increase ($1.40) over a rate cut ($2.80).
Big international banks — while not betting on the rate rises — are coming out with their predictions too as to when the RBA will lift rates from the record low of 1.50%.
In August, Goldman Sachs economist Andrew Boak predicted rates would increase sooner rather than later. In spite of slow wage growth, persistent low inflation and a strong Aussie dollar, Boak reckons the RBA is one step closer to increasing the cash rate, saying:
'Given the RBA's increasing optimism on the macroeconomic outlook, we think we are closer to higher interest rates than the market is anticipating, particularly if house prices keep re-accelerating and credit growth outpaces household incomes.'
Last week saw the release of the latest gross domestic product data (GDP). Leading some analysts to believe that a rate hike could be on the cards as early as next year.
Official GDP data suggests the Aussie economy grew by 0.8% for the June quarter. Bringing year-on-year growth to 1.8%.
Yesterday, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) announced that the Aussie economy added 22,000 full times jobs, and another 6,000 part-time jobs in August this year. In the past 12 months, official data suggests we've added a total of 253,000 full-time jobs.
However, like all things too good to be true, these figures probably are too. The reality is very different.
Things start to fall apart when you break down the GDP figures to allow for population growth. Factoring that in, the June quarter now show an 0.4% growth. And year-on-year growth comes down to a lousy 0.2%.
Furthermore, unofficial statistics suggest the real unemployment figure in Australia is more than double what the ABS claims.
Independent research firm Roy Morgan has the Aussie unemployment rate sitting at a yearly high of 10.2%, and underemployment — people who work less hours than they want to — at 9.5%.
That's an astounding difference. The reason? Methodology. Using stats to tell the story they want, rather than the way it is.
Roy Morgan keeps the unemployment calculations simple:
'The Roy Morgan Unemployment estimate is obtained by surveying an Australia-wide cross section by face-to-face interviews. A person is classified as unemployed if they are looking for work, no matter when. The results are not seasonally adjusted and provide an accurate measure of monthly unemployment estimates in Australia.'
The ABS, on the other hand, has a different approach:
'The ABS classifies a person as unemployed, if when surveyed, they have been actively looking for work in the four weeks up to the end of the reference week and if they were available for work in the reference week.
'The ABS classifies a person as employed if, when surveyed, a person worked for one or more hour during the reference week for pay, profit, commission or payment in kind, or even if a person worked for one hour or more without pay in a family business or on a farm.'
That's right. When working without pay in a family business or on a farm counts as 'employment', that goes some way to explaining the distortion between the two.
The problem is that central bankers favour official statistics. When you tweak and manipulate data to suit your agenda, the government has a much rosier outlook.
Yet everyday life doesn't match up with what the stats tells us. Vern Gowdie, editor of The Gowdie Letter, pointed this out last week. Instead of the Aussie economy humming along and growing, he says it's more a case of debt growing, rather than the economy. He notes:
'Make-believe employment numbers create a make-believe world. One that deludes us into thinking our economy is a miracle…when in fact it's a mirage.
'The ABS tells us that our $1.7 trillion economy "grew" by 0.8% in the second quarter…expanding by $136 billion.
'But did households spend their savings or go deeper into debt?
'That's the story behind our miracle economy. We're just going deeper and deeper into the brown stuff and being told it's a bed of roses.
'Our recession-free run is completely contingent upon Australian households' willingness and ability to increase their debt-loads. Once households reach debt fatigue — and they will — our economy will go from "hero to zero" very quickly.'
As the forecasts — and the bets — are being placed, an RBA board member has hosed down any idea that a rate increase is on the cards.
One Aussie central banker likened the Aussie economy to an underperforming high school student, saying Australia is operating 'below its potential'.
The RBA's Ian Harper told Bloomberg in a phone interview yesterday:
'As well as we're doing, the Australian economy is still operating below its potential. So long as that is the case, why would anyone be suggesting tightening monetary policy when the economy is operating below potential? I mean hello?'
However, Harper pointed out what I've suspected for some time. What matters most to the RBA isn't wage growth. And it's not house prices. It's how much money we are spending. He adds:
'Consumption is two-thirds of gross domestic product. If households as a group were suddenly to decide that we really can't afford this now, we're going to start to slow up consumption to keep ourselves on an even keel, then that will certainly pull GDP growth away from where we want it to be.'
But the important take away here is that rates aren't going up. Not anytime soon.
Largely manipulated official statistics aren't telling the full story on how the Aussie economy is performing.
Settle in folks. Low rates are here to stay.
Kind regards,
Shae Russell,
Editor, Markets & Money

Celebrating 100 Years Since the First National Campaign to Go Meatless
December 7 2017 Meatless Monday
read full recipe » At Meatless Monday, there is a reason to celebrate every week by promoting plant-based food as a way to save the planet. But in 2017, Meatless Monday had even more reason to celebrate: this year marks 100 years since the first national campaign to encourage people to go meat-free. While the original mission has evolved into something addressing todays concerns, the message has stood the test of time! In the video below, the Meatless Monday team and founder discuss the history of Meatless Monday and how it still makes an impact after 100 years. The idea of giving up meat one day a week originated in the fall of 1917 when the United States was trying to feed its citizens in the homeland as well as troops fighting abroad in World War I. It was sold as a patriotic way to support soldiers by making a simple sacrifice one day a week. Cookbooks focused on meat-free meals became a staple for housewives cooking for their families. Communities banded together to grow fruits and vegetables in Victory Gardens and learned that produce could play a starring role on the dinner table. Now, with that one day a week officially designated to Mondays, the mission of Meatless Monday has turned to saving the entire planet. By reducing meat consumption by one day a week, greenhouse gas emissions will decrease, which will reduce our carbon footprint - that is, if everyone can pitch in and get on board the way they did during WWI! Now that Meatless Monday has campaigns around the world, the impact of eating a more plant-based diet can affect the health of the planet and the people living on it. Make a difference going Meatless Monday! The post Celebrating 100 Years Since the First National Campaign to Go Meatless appeared first on Meatless Monday.

Hammocks Buying Guide
Buying a Hammock:
General Hammock Tips
You can find fabric and rope hammocks, hammock chairs and portable hammocks for your patio and garden. Each hammock style has its qualities, and one is sure to be perfect for your patio.
Fabric Hammocks
Fabric hammocks are some of the most comfortable hammocks available. Quilted fabric hammocks, usually made of cotton, are one of the most luxurious additions to patio furniture. Usually, if a hammock states that it is appropriate for sleeping, you can bet that hammock is made from fabric. Hammocks made of cotton are comfortable, breathable and good-looking, but they're not very weatherproof, and the colors can fade. Cotton is also prone to mold and mildew, so cotton hammocks should not be left outside in bad weather. Polyester hammocks are durable and weather-resistant, and they can be just as comfortable as cotton hammocks. Canvas hammocks are the most durable fabric hammocks for outdoor use.
Rope Hammocks
Rope hammocks are classics, but relaxing on a rope hammock can be tricky. If you use a rope hammock for a long period, you could end up with crisscross patterns where your skin contacts the ropes, and your hands and feet can fall through the ropes. Aside from those minor dangers, the material of the rope hammock can greatly affect its comfort and durability. Cotton rope hammocks are comfortable because cotton stretches and conforms to your body shape, and it feels good against your skin. Polyester-rope hammocks are more durable than cotton and fade less in direct sunlight.
Hammock Chairs
Hammock chairs are a great alternative to full-size hammocks, especially if you are tight on space. Hammock chairs only require one point of support. They are made from the same materials as other hammocks. Hammock chairs are a great option for families with children; they are more stable than other hammocks, and they are more difficult to fall out of, making them ideal for kids.
Portable Hammocks and Stands
Most hammocks can be considered portable outdoor furniture. When you buy a hammock stand, you are free from tying your hammock between two trees, but there are hammocks and frames that are even more portable. Folding or collapsible hammock chairs are the most popular. The frame folds for storage and moving, making these hammocks great for picnics and the beach. Even hammocks that are strung between two trees are portable; you can take them down and put them back up wherever you want. If you can, purchase a hammock set that includes the stand so you know they'll fit together perfectly.
Buying a Porch Swing:
General Swing Tips
Porch swings are a sign of true relaxation, but porch swings aren't the only swings available for patio furniture. There are several types of swings to choose from, and they can be made from wood, painted wood, resin wicker, plastic or metal. Familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of each type and material before selecting the swing for you.
Hanging Porch Swings
Hanging porch swings are the classic swing that hangs from your porch or awning. They come with hanging chains and hooks for installation. Make sure you have a large enough area and a strong enough support to hold a porch swing. Most porch swings are 4 to 5 feet long and should fit any standard porch area.
Yard Swings
Yard swings include a frame so they can stand alone wherever you want to put them. Some yard swings have a canopy and cushioned seats for added comfort. Watch out for wind if you want a canopy swing; the wind can pick them up and move them, which often damages the swing.
Both hanging porch swings and stand-alone swings have glider versions for an easier, smoother swing.
