1) Since we believe in going the natural way, you won't need any supplements or artificial weight increasers to get a healthier body. So start by feeling positive about your weight goal.
2) Consult a nutritionist and determine what your ideal body weight and statistics should be. Then get them to chalk out a diet plan for you.
3) Increase your calorie intake by 500 to 1000 calories per day. Mention the same to your nutritionist.
4) Eat three wholesome meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) spaced 5 hours apart.
5) Additionally, eat 2 to 3 healthy snacks in between your meals. Opt for fresh fruits like bananas, berries, avocados, mangoes, etc and also eat nuts and dried fruits every day.
[caption id="attachment_10693" align="alignnone" width="379"] Bananas are healthy and help to gain weight[/caption]
6) Try to include high calorie dairy products in your daily diet; for instance, milkshakes, yogurt, and cheese.
7) Never skip your breakfast; this is one of the most common mistakes people make.
8) Try to increase your portion size gradually so that your body is able to take more calories and food.
9) Eat moderate fats, higher protein, and higher fiber. Choose to consume eggs, meat, fish, milk, seeds for the protein, but also bear in mind that most of the calories for weight gain come from carbohydrates and fats; so don't replace them for proteins.
10) Eat starch too – like rice, potatoes, peas, cauliflower, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes.

14) Do NOT drink water before meals. Wait for 10-20 minutes after you finish eating and then drink water.
15) Avoid alcohol, fizzy beverages, tea, coffee and anything with caffeine in it.
16) Be moderately active throughout the day but do not exert yourself.
17) Exercise for an hour every day. Your gym instructor will be able to guide you on how you can increase your statistics with 30 to 60 minutes of weight training.
18) Avoid too much of aerobic exercises like running, jogging, stationary bicycling, treadmill, swimming, kick boxing, jumping jacks etc.
[caption id="attachment_10694" align="alignnone" width="400"] Lunges are good for developing the thighs and strengthening the hips[/caption]
19) You can try doing bench presses, pushups, pull ups, squats and lunges, and mild yoga exercises along with breathing and meditation.
20) And finally, keep track. If possible, keep a food journal to track your weight gain progress. Keep a record of your daily calorie consumption. Weigh yourself at the end of each week to see your development.

Focus on Frame!
O lung flowering like a tree – Janet Frame
O lung flowering like a tree
a shadowy bird bothers thee
a strange bird that will not fly away
or sing at break of day and evening.
I will take my knife
I will cut the branch of the tree
he clings to and will not let go
then the wide sky can look in
and light lay gloss
on the leaves of blood beating with life.
Of yes, tomorrow I will take my knife
And the light and I will look in
O plagues lung flowering like a tree,
said the surgeon.
I found these poems in an old poetry anthology from school. Unfortunately there isn't a reference for where they originally came from.

Most water softeners work due to the ions within the systems – as water passes through the water softener, the ions that make water hard are exchanged for other ions and water is therefore softened. Depending on the type of water softener, this can result in water with a slightly higher salt content.
What is Hard Water?
Water hardness is mainly due to calcium (and sometimes magnesium) in the water supply. To soften the water an 'ion-exchange' softener removes the calcium and magnesium almost completely.
There are three main processes that take place within your water softener:
- The softener contains tiny beads of 'ion-exchange resin'.
- These beads of resin are preloaded with sodium and as the water passes through the beads, the calcium and magnesium in the water supply swap places with the sodium.
- Calcium and magnesium remain on the resin, while sodium goes into the softened water. As sodium does not cause hardness, the water becomes softened
What Causes Hard Water?
The quality of your water, and whether it is hard or soft, is determined by the geology of the ground in your region. Pure rainwater is naturally soft, but the chalk and limestone regions of the south and east of England deposit calcium and magnesium into the natural water supply as rainwater passes through the rocks, which results in hard water.
The granite areas of the north and west do not contain the same minerals and so the water remains soft. With the development of water distribution networks, some parts of the UK which have historically been soft water areas are now beginning to experience hard water.

Is Xan still around? Here is a beautiful poem shared by her some years back?
This knowing is too simple
for rules and regulations.
This master too intimate
for anyone to guess.
This joy is too unexpected
to fit into my theology.
This vastness too sweet
to be named by my mind.
This shock of deep knowing
cannot be managed.
This grace too surprising
All walls falling down.
xan, posted to nondualitysalon
Just be here. Sort of like sitting ducks. The mind can feel that way when one enters this unprotected place, like a sitting duck, at the mercy of the moment, fully surrendered, fully offered, without a strategy or a protection or any idea why, just a complete dropping everything, the stuff you're carrying, to the floor, and just here. This being is more than enough. Then if we stay here, there's a song that starts to sing, a devotional song to Being that starts to sing between us - it is this song about, Ah! You are! I am! You are! I am! How lovely. How everything.
J: The essence of separation is I'm not part of this, I'm not at one with this, I am apart from this.
T: It's really difficult to get close.
J: It's too late, because we already are, like this, we were born this way. I'm already so close to you it's excruciating if you let yourself notice.
T: When I look into your eyes, I feel like I'm looking into Love itself, it's very sweet.
J: Me too, in yours... Why let a little horrific trauma get in the way of walking around the world as love, hmmm?
If we meet this world unprotected, our heart gets broken over and over and over. This is actually a gift. You let the world touch you, it shatters you open, and it shatters you open, and it shatters you open. And here you are, shining. After our heart is broken open a thousand times and all of the contents emptied out, there's just this shining left.
- Jeannie Zandi in satsang in Portland
To the extent that an individual wishes to
experience the world as separate from
himself, he is a spectacle without a spectator
To the extent that he prefers to be
insensitive to the world, he is a spectator
without a spectacle. But it is only when
life is accepted totally, however it comes,
knowing it to be nothing but a dream yet
acting intuitively as if it is real, that one
will experience life fully as the natural
spectator of the natural spectacle.
- Ramesh S. Balsekar, A Net of Jewels, posted to AlongTheWay
Would that you could know yourself
For a time!
Would that you would see a sign
Of your own beautiful face!
Then you would not sleep in water
And clay like an animal
You would go to the house of joy
Of all lovely spirits.
You would travel to your every far corner
To make yourself manifest
For Hidden Treasure has remained
Concealed within you!
Were you only this body,
You would have no news of the spirit;
Were you only this spirit,
You would rest happily within it.
Like others you would make do
With good and evil ...
You would manage with this and that,
If,that is, you were only this and that.
Were you only one stew,
You would have a single flavor;
Were you only one pot,
You would boil in just one way.
Were you to be purified
Of this churning agitation ...
You would reside on top of the heavens
Like those who are pure.
To every image of your own imagination
You say:
"Oh, my spirit .. my world!"
Were these images to disappear,
You, yourself - would be...
The spirit and the "world.
For your words have become intellect's shackle!
If not for words, you would be nothing
But a tongue like that universal intellect.
For knowledge is a veil .. upon knowledge
If you know that, you are the King
Why, would you remain
As interpreter?

Or was it the earth
I know not
When I looked again
There You were

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"why does my right arm fall asleep ?"
my right arm falls asleep every night no matter what position im in. the pain in the inner side of my elbow wakes me up and it takes my arm forever to feel normal. It only makes the right side of my hand numb, my thumb and pointer finger are barely affected by feelling
Sorry to hear about your problem and I recommend that you speak with your doctor. In general, when a persons arm falls asleep it has something to do with the blood supply or the lack thereof. The pins and needles that often come are the body's way of alerting us to move and do something different so that the cells in that body part get the blood supply that they need. Alternatively, the nerves in a specific body part can be affected by positioning as well, and can simulate that sort of problem. While it is hard to say if your position truly is part of the problem (since you are asleep), it most often plays a role unless you have another medical condition that we don't know about. Speaking with your doctor will help to pinpoint what else could be causing these symptoms, and may also be able to give you the information that you need to keep this from happening in the future. Please speak with your doctor.

Today, most grocery store produce departments are overflowing with displays of plump, colorful fruits and veggies. From bins of red peppers to cartons of sweet blueberries, many of us are fortunate to have a rainbow of produce at our fingertips year-round. However, a recent string of studies has brought the quality of our plant foods into serious question. Crops have shown a shocking decline in nutritional value over past years, leaving nutritionists, food policy advocates and environmentalists scrambling for answers. The old recommendation of "five servings of fruits and veggies a day," is no longer enough.
Where have the nutrients gone?
As early as the 1940's, scientists began making foreboding observations about a rapid mineral dilution in the environment. Accumulating evidence from the last 70 years has strengthened these understandings, pointing to a rapid and irreparable decrease in the nutrient content of our soils. 1 In recent years, the widespread application of chemical fertilizers and over-farming techniques have worked to accelerate these change
s at an alarming rate.
The use of cheaper, higher yield crop varieties has not helped the situation. Rather than planting region-specific heirloom crops, most large-scale commercial farmers have turned to more profitable hybrid varieties that have been intentionally bred for production convenience. These "monster" crops have been selected for their impressive size, sweetness and picture-perfect appearances. However, these changes have come at the expense of nutrient density. "When you select for yield, crops grow bigger and faster," explains University of Texas biochemist, Dr. Donald Davis, "but they don't necessarily have the ability to make or uptake nutrients at the same, faster rate."
Add to this equation the time and distance that most produce items travel to get to store shelves, and things start to get even scarier. Long-haul trans-continental and international imports bring some fruits and vegetables to the shelves a full seven weeks after they have been picked. During this time the plants continue to respire, burning up beneficial antioxidants and polyphenols. By the time items make it to the shelves, they have almost completely lost the very disease-fighting compounds that we consume them for.
Consider the following studies
- A 2004 article published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, compared nutritional differences in 43 garden crops between the years 1950 and 1999. Information from both dates was collected from U.S. Department of Agriculture archives, and carefully analyzed. Modern numbers slumped a shocking 6 to 38% behind historic averages. Of the 13 nutrients considered, six showed the most significant declines. These included: protein, calcium, phosphorous, iron, riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and vitamin C. The authors predicted that many other nutrients had likely been effected, but magnesium, zinc, vitamins B6, E and others were not sufficiently studied in 1950 to make official claims.
- One study conducted in England, uncovered a drop off of anywhere between 2 to 84% in the mineral content of foods between the years 1940-2002. This analysis went beyond crops to include animal foods with equally staggering results. Conventionally raised beef for example experienced a 38% drop in iron, an 84% decrease in copper and a 4% dip in magnesium content.
- A similar study published in the British Food Journal demonstrated significant differences in vegetables grown in the 1930s and 1980s. For the 20 vegetables studied, the average calcium content had plummeted 19%; iron 22 %; and potassium 14%.
- According to expert Jo Robinson, wild plants contain many times more phytonutrients than modern varieties. Wild dandelions for example have seven times more nutrients than spinach. Purple potatoes from Peru have 28 times more beneficial anthocyanins than Russet Potatoes. Select native apples, which are no bigger than the size of a cherry, have 100-fold more phytonutrients than the common Golden Delicious.
- In 2006 the United Nations admitted to a new type of malnutrition, suggesting the the issue is not always food availability, but rather food quality. This new paradigm has been called "type B malnutrition" and looks at farming practices and issues with multiple micronutient depletion in communities around the globe.
- The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study warning that people can't get enough vitamins from diet alone, and that supplementation in all adults is recommended, if not necessary.
What can we do about it?
Currently, experts estimate that over three billion people are malnourished in micronutrients, including many living in developed nations. Nutrient deficient crops are expected to contribute significantly to this statistic. As consumers, we can no longer wait to have our food supplies fixed for us. It is important that we take action to protect our own health, and that of our families, friends and the future generations.
While the above studies have uncovered some serious issues with crop production, this doesn't mean we should give up eating plant foods altogether. After all, fruits and vegetables continue to be our only source of these unique phytonutrients. That's why it is so important for us to protect them. Here are some steps that will make a big difference:
Support Local Farms*
I can't say enough about getting to know your local farmers. Your foods will be fresh and seasonally appropriate to fit your body's needs throughout the year. And, if you ever have any questions about production and harvesting methods, this is your opportunity to just ask! Check out the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund for the latest policy, news and updates on all-things local farms.
Buy Heirloom Produce*
They may be bumpy, wrinkled, and strangely-colored, but heirloom produce is usually higher in beneficial compounds than conventional counterparts. If you have a garden, planting heirloom seeds can also be a great way to have fresh produce right in your backyard. Generally these plants are better adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, making them heartier and more likely to produce over a longer period of time.
Opt for Organic Whenever Possible*
There has been some controversy in recent months over whether or not organic is better. In my opinion this isn't even a debate worth having. Save yourself from toxic chemical residue and save the environment from mineral-leaching fertilizers, and we will all win out.
Eat Plenty of Healthy Fats
That's right – fats like grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil and palm oil contain the co-factors and activators that prime our digestive systems for absorbing the most vitamins and minerals from foods. Be sure to add a dollop each time you prepare cooked veggies. If enjoying a fresh salad, dress with plenty of unrefined olive oil, argan oil and/or flax oil.
Supplement with Superfoods As Needed**
It's not always what we want to do, but sometimes supplementing is necessary. Be sure to use only supplements that are derived from concentrated whole foods, and avoid those that contain synthetic additives. Carefully sourced superfood supplements can go a long way in correcting dietary deficiencies and supporting health over the long term. Buy from companies you trust, who are doing their share to protect the environment and our food supply too!
*Grow Your Own
The sure way to have densely nutritious vegetables on your table is to grow them yourself. Our Tower Garden is a plug and play, state-of-the-art, vertical, aeroponic growing system. It is easy to assemble and fun for the whole family to watch your food grow from seed to an abundant harvest in just a few weeks, ready to eat. Tower Garden fits easily on sunny patios, decks or rooftop gardens.
**Nutrition Made Simple
We trust Juice Plus+! Since we started as Juice Plus+ers almost 22 years ago, we have personally seen true transformation in our health and in the health of thousands of others.
We take great comfort in knowing that we get the nutritional essence of 30 "real" plant foods every day in Juice Plus+, and that these plants are cultivated at the highest standards possible to produce nutritionally dense crops, unlike those common in our world today. The results speak for themselves.

Why ?
I'm not sure, it just doesn't seem right somehow. The rooms are small, and we have a lot of stuff, curtains would just clutter up the space even more.
We have venetian blinds at all of the windows and in my mind they are gorgeous white shutters (I dream good) !!
In my mini guest room I felt like I needed a pelmet, and I had these remnants, that match the bed cover.

6 Diet Mistakes That Lead To Weight Gain During Menopause
When women speak of menopause, they actually mean peri-menopause; a period in a woman's life when she is transitioning from being pre-menopausal to menopausal and becoming infertile without the worry or risk of getting pregnant or having her periods. The majority of women are weary of the signs and symptoms that accompany menopause. Weight gain is one of the menopausal symptoms that often affects a woman's self-esteem as it changes the appearance of the woman. For many women, the body chooses to hold onto the fat -- especially around the tummy. This has been associated with the declining level... (more)

Here are things that bother me:
1. My camera is still stolen. I was trying to be optimistic about this (someone probably took it by ACCIDENT!), but with each passing day, it becomes clearer and clearer that my beautiful baby camera has been abducted, and I just need to accept it and move on. But rest assured, my lovely Powershot, you will be avenged!
2. It snowed again. You know what I'm really happy about? I'm so happy that it snowed four inches last night. I'm just thrilled that I paid $20 for about seven hours of clear driveway. I'm simply ecstatic that I had to dig my car out AGAIN using only the brush side of my heavy-duty ice scraper. Seriously, it rules.
You may have won the battle, Winter, but you will never win the war.
3. I'm poor. Ok, ok, I KNOW. EVERYONE is poor. But it's another thing that annoys me, so it goes on the list. It would just be great if the stock market could go back up, ok? And this isn't just me being selfish–I'm thinking of everyone. Is there anyone who would be hurt by the stock market recovering? No. So this is me thinking of everyone, got it?
4. I don't own this: (http://www.pinkmascara.com/pinkmascara/product.asp?dept_id=3289&pf_id=AAAEIHMJIINOAAGI&ad_id=froogle&key_id=FreelookRoseGoldWatch.) Ok, THAT'S me being selfish.
I think that's enough blogging at work. Safe travels to everyone braving the snow! Remember, when you're sliding on the ice, don't break and don't overcorrect!

AVI Shakeup
Got an e-mail from my volunteer agency the other day. They are rejoicing that their contract with the Australian government (specifically with AusAID) has been reinstated. They have been at close to panic stations for the last two years - funnily enough coinciding with my association with them - and have done a lot of shaking up of their previous 'sewing circle clique' life.
Most of that shake up has meant trimming the fat, which was quite a lot. Some may say - me - that they may have gone a tad over board with their retrenchments, closing state offices, sackings and trying to make others walk. The AVI PNG program had when I was first offered this position, in October 2003, 6 people working on it. Now it has dwindled to 2.
It seems things might become a bit more realistic now that the ones left remaining have secure jobs. They are now looking at installing an in-country manager for most of their main countries of operation. This will be a significant shift in a policy that was always based on jet-lag travel from Melbourne HQ.
PNG is targeted to get an in-country manager to be based in Madang, between Jan and June 2006. Coincidently I finish my contract December 2005. I have briefly thought perhaps I could go for the position - get to live in the best town, get to travel all over the country and hang out with volunteers. Sounds good fun. But then I thought, two years is enough time in the one country, it will be time to stretch the legs and wander about again.
Besides I don't think I would fit in with the AVI crowd, I don't have breasts.

The great idea you have is amazing, you're buzzing about it. Then you read a blog post in your news feed about another start-up that seems to be doing the same thing you are. There goes your dream! Damn them for getting up and doing something you should've done!
A great idea stays as this abstract thought in your head unless you take it a stage further. You shouldn't rush into starting a new business, I guess unless you're a seasoned pro, but you need to get going with it. The web moves quickly while you're dreaming…
The problem with the web is that a great idea can be produced and be available for anyone, anywhere in the world with relatively small investment or time. The greater issue is trying to bring something that can clearly differentiate itself from other similar sites or services. Seeing what potential competitors are doing early on is actually a really positive thing; you can see how companies in that markets space are working; who their audience is and try and break down their strengths and weaknesses. This ultimately can either help you to hone your idea or realise the maybe this wasn't as hot as you thought.
Another company might have a year's lead time and a recognised name but brand differentiation is really important. By trying to consider a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats) analysis throughout developing your idea, you can be sure that what you have has real potential in the real world as a business.
As good as it can be to revel in a good, old-fashioned plan for world domination, for it to move beyond that, it needs to work out as a business and consider how it can actually survive.
#2 Why should anyone use your site/service?
Find out your competition, learn from them and always be aware or their strengths and weaknesses – especially those of your own idea.
I don't know about anyone else, but this is really helping me wrap my head around trying to make my ideas come to life ;)

Start With A Little Faith
6 Star Review
Wow ! Wow ! Wow! A Little Faith by Emma James was astonishing! This book came as a complete surprise and kept me glued to the pages. The characters jumped out of the pages and pulled me into their world.
-Smut Book Junk Book Reviews
The way the author binds these guys together and makes them and their lives completely realistic is a stroke of genius.
- Books Laid Bare
A stunningly beautiful story.
Emma James has written such a beautiful powerful story that will keep you engrossed from the first to the very last word. It is a story that revolves around five close friends and how they are dealing with a tragedy that touched them all six years earlier. Throw into the mix a young woman, who is also dealing with the consequences of the event.
These five men will share a bond that will never tear them apart. Fall in love with Harley, Retro, Levi, Keanu and Text(Jase). They are the Men Of Ocean Beach.
- Maria Alexander
Where do I start..... WHY DID I TAKE SO LONG TO READ THIS BOOK ARRHHHHHH
I started a Little Faith and couldn't put it down - It will make you feel, love and cry.
- Selena
It took me a little while to jump on the Emma James train but I am glad I did. This book has it all. Emotions will run wild but it is worth the read big time, I love her writing style she also knows how to catch you and draw you in so you don't want to put the books down.
I came across this book on a search to find some reading material that was different and I am so glad I found this author.
- Saunders
Five best friends graduating from college and a summer vacation filled with surfing and girls.
What could go wrong?
Six years ago five young men went to the island and only four came back alive.
Life was forever changed for these men with a brotherhood stronger than blood formed from the ashes. There is nothing they won't do for each other.
Retro Cooper lost his memory and found solace in running his own cafe. He just doesn't know he lost the love of his life along the way. Jase Madden stopped talking, the burden too great and opened up his own gym. Against the odds, Levi Donovan became a model and Keanu Lee hid behind his humor using it to build a business. Harley Madden, alpha security empire owner watches over them all. His guilt for trading places with his brother his own burden to carry.
There is one person who has stopped these men from moving forward emotionally with their lives and she's about to walk through the door.
Faith Reed lost so much when she was fifteen years old. She hid from life and now she is determined to give back and to move forward.
Five tattooed men are waiting for Faith and her brother Chance to arrive in Ocean Beach so that they can say their goodbyes.
What happens when Faith reunites with these men and is confronted by their own secrets they have kept hidden from her?
I won't lie, you might cry and you might also laugh out loud.
What happens when Retro has an epiphany and his memories come flooding back?
I guess you will have to read to find out.
A Little Faith is full of emotion, surprises and twists and some pretty gorgeous men and a cast of sub characters you will adore. I personally have a thing for Slade Malone. What can I say, the man behind the bar at Joe's gives me a lady boner.
Take a chance on this adult contemporary romance, because sometimes all you need is a little faith.
Reader Note: This is a mature aged new adult/adult contemporary romance which contains strong sexual content for the 18+ reader.

The demonstration at the church was sponsored by Birmingham Faith in Action, an interfaith group calling for the city to adopt a zoning policy which would mandate that new payday loan stores cannot operate within a mile of an existing one. The group contends that payday loan stores charge exorbitant interest rates and disproportionately affect the poor and minorities.
To illustrate the point, Quinn Rallins, director of Birmingham Faith in Action, showed the crowd a photo showing dozens of sharks swimming alongside each other.
"We have to pick between living in two oceans. Sharks live in this ocean because it's acceptable that they can feed on the weak," he said, pointing to the photo, before showing another with only one shark. "Which ocean do you want to live in? This is where we're headed if we don't do something about predatory lending."
Rallins said Faith in Action is making a push because the city's ban on new payday loan stores ends in September. He contends that before the ban, Birmingham had the highest concentration of payday loan stores in the nation. He said the group would like the city to adopt a new zoning ordinance which would also mandate distance requirements for payday loan stores from welfare offices.
He told the crowd how a member of his family had struggled against high-interest debt which resulted in her losing her car.
"Three out of four payday loans are used to try to pay off other payday loans," Rallins said. "There's a difference between businesses making a living, and making a killing."
Former New Jersey Secretary of State DeForest Soaries, who is also a Baptist minister who speaks on overcoming debt, told the crowd that he is outraged by a rising tide of consumerism in America, which he said lures people into pursuing lifestyles beyond their economic means. Payday loan stores foster this attitude, he said, by promising quick money to people needing to cover expenses.
"It's cheaper to borrow from the Mafia than it is payday loan stores," he said. "At least the Mafia will tell you the truth -- that if you don't pay them back, they'll kill you."

Memory Café
What is a Memory Café?
A memory café is a social gathering for those personally dealing with memory loss and those who help care for those with these challenges. Experiencing or caring for someone with memory loss can be isolating, and the cafés offers an opportunity to socialize and engage in an accepting environment. There are now many cafés in the Greater Boston area whose schedules are coordinated to allow people to attend multiple cafés throughout any month.
What Happens at a Café?
Each café is has its own personality. However, most offer their guests the chance for conversation, refreshments, and a structured artistic activity or educational program that engages everyone. The goal is to get out into the community, meet others with similar challenges, and enjoy some time with caring people who understand and support those living with memory loss.
When are Cafés Held ?
Cafés are held on different days and at different times. They meet in community centers, retirement communities, and senior centers. You can get a list of all the cafés and when they meet through the Jewish Family and Children Services website.

Have you ever panicked and sold your stocks or mutual funds? You know what happens; you hear a report about doom and gloom, how the stock market is in free fall and is never going to recover. I talked about this earlier this year when (somewhat surprisingly) the markets declined precipitously only to bounce back quickly. How about when the market lost over one-third of its value in 2008-09 during the housing and financial crisis. Would you have known when to get back into the stock market? Can you time the market?
If this is too gut-wrenching for you, maybe you shouldn't be an investor in stocks. Warren Buffet once said, "You shouldn't own common stocks if a 50% decrease in their value in a short period of time would cause you acute distress." I'm not going to suggest that you own common stocks. I believe most people are better off investing in index funds. Set it, forget it. Continually invest money and eventually you will reap the rewards. Don't believe me? My friend Morgan Housel has created an excellent chart (below) showing a reasonably exhaustive list of major events which have taken place since 1950 and what has happened to the stock market along the way. Each and every one of these events alone may have sounded like a reasonable reason why you should sell your investments, however as the chart shows, over the long haul — after a relatively short-lived pull back — the market continues its upward climb. There are always events which shake investors' confidence.
There was those people who felt that a Trump presidency was very bad for the stock market. As it became apparent that Trump was going to upset Ms. Clinton and become our next president, the market averages plummeted. However since that time, the markets overall are up about 3.5%. Several sectors — those which are believed will be strong performers under a Trump presidency — such as energy and banking are up much more: 9.5% and 15%, respectively. Regardless of who is president, Mr. Buffett suggests believes that markets will continue to grow. He feels that stocks will be higher 10, 20 and 30 years from now regardless of who the president is.
A good friend of mine who is an investment advisor suggests that if you are going to buy an individual stock, you should plan to hold it for at least two years before considering whether it is a worthwhile long-term investment. Buffett's favorite length of time to own a stock: "forever." (Even Buffett buys and sells stocks; he doesn't hold stocks forever…) But again, I am not suggesting that you should own individual stocks. Most people lack the skills to determine good investments. Few individual investors, and only one-in-five money managers, beat the market averages. Most of us are better off simply buying index funds and holding them forever.
Don't try to time the market. Simply invest by making periodic purchases. You are investing for the long run. You should be thinking about your investments in decades, not in days, weeks, months, or even a year or two. Simply keep investing and years from now, you will likely have a very tidy nest egg.

|NOW A RARE ANIMAL - The Great Crested Newt
I think it was seeing white mice a Christmas party when I was probably about 7 years old in 1956. I was fascinated and had to be dragged away from watching them. I pleaded to have some and eventually my Mother relented and I got two white mice complete with pink tails and pink eyes.
What I really wanted was a dog but my father always refused. I was heart broken especially when my friend's dog had some puppies. I even tried taking my favorite home for my father to see. He was steadfast in his refusal.
I kept lizards, snakes, slow worms, hamsters, rabbits, toads, newts everything I could which replaced the dog I never had.
There was a small pond not too far from were I lived and it was a great source of toads and newts. There are three types of newt in the UK and all three were in abundace in that little pool. It is very sad to report that they filled it in because of a golf course. One of the newts the Great Crested is now very rare and on the endanger species list.
There was another pond close by that I remember oh so well. One day my sister and I were watching toads. It was mating time and some bigger boys came along and started firing slugs into the back of the male toad mating with the much larger female. I was outraged, I screamed and ran for these older boys, I did not fear for my safety or anything, I just was filled with anger. How could they? They obviously could see the blind anger and ran away.
I got myself a bit of a reputation and people close by always brought round any injured bird or animal which they found or was injured. I would refuse nothing and always did my best to help them. The strangest thing I was given was a fully grown Heron which had a broken wing. I eventually took it to a local vet after borrowing a tin of sardines in tomato sauce from my Mother's pantry.
It was not until I got married at the age of 25 did I have my first dog. It was really my wife's. But I loved the experience. Now I have three dogs and it is me who takes them walks and it is me who feeds them. When we leave the dogs at home for any reason and when we return the dogs just run past me to get to my wife and demand her greeting. I just don't exist.
I accept my place in the pack and have accepted that even although I am an animal lover, my wife is even more of one and the dogs recognise this. She cannot watch a western where a horse falls or watch an animal programme where a lion goes in for the kill just to survive. I am an animal lover but I am afraid not to that extent. I also eat meat and enjoy it too. But that is another argument altogether.
The second song I choose here is a bit strange. It is not what I would call one of the best by The Byrds but I had a strange experience in the sixties when I was listening to the best of The Byrds. I was by myself in my living room, I was completely sober. My eyes were closed and when this song played, I suddenly found myself on the ceiling and looking down at myself. It was amazing. When I opened my eyes I was back to reality. This has never happen since. It was both thrilling and frighting at the time. The power of music eh!.


text: Powerbeats2 Wireless (review): No bargain, but still among the top wireless sports earphones 24 June 2014 , By David Carnoy Share Facebook Twitter Whatsapp Email The Good For an in-ear wireless headphone, the sweat-resistant Powerbeats 2 Wireless offers strong sound and a comfortable, secure fit that makes it an appealing choice for workouts. The Bad Doesn't automatically shut off when disconnected from your device; fairly expensive; battery life could be a bit better. The Bottom Line While it's a bit overpriced, the Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless is among the best wireless sports earphones. Hot on the heels of the Solo 2, the sequel to its uber-popular on-ear model, Beats has now introduced the Powerbeats 2 Wireless, a Bluetooth version of its Powerbeats sports earphones. The original wired Powerbeats have been on the market for a while but got a boost in recent years, thanks to basketball star LeBron James promoting them in a memorable US television ad. Beats says the new model has been inspired by James, and he is credited as a "co-creator." At $200 (equivalent to around £120 and AU$210, with official UK and Australian prices yet to be announced), the Powerbeats2 Wireless is a pretty pricey headphone. But that may not bother you if you're looking for a comfortable, lightweight Bluetooth sports headphone that performs well. Design The earphones are sweatproof -- but not waterproof -- and come in white, red, and the black you see here. In many ways they're reminiscent of the earlier, corded Powerbeats, with the same ear hooks that help keep the headphones securely on your head. These new hooks have some bend to them (they're pliable) and you can customize the shape to fit around your ear better. While it took a little tinkering (bending the hooks), I got the headphones to fit pretty snugly -- overall I liked the way they fit, and you can adjust the cord length with the little crimp that's included. Here's what you get in the box. (Sarah Tew/CNET) The headphones come with a few different sizes of silicone eartips. Beats reps told me that, depending on the eartips you choose, you can opt to go for a tighter seal or leave some breathing room to let ambient noise in for safety reasons. Many people like to be able to hear cars coming when they're running or biking. (For the record, Beats marketing material says, "Powerbeats earphones are specially designed to pump clear bass at any volume while letting in ambient noise, making sure athletes stay safe while training," so it seems that they aren't meant to be jammed in your ears like many in-ear models). Personally, I wasn't able to get a tight seal with any of the eartips, so I was always left with a more open fit. When that happens, you do lose a little bass, but the only time I found the looser fit to be a real problem was when I was in an environment where there was a lot of noise -- the New York City subway, for example. The headphones charge via Micro-USB. (Sarah Tew/CNET) As you might expect, the headphone also doubles as a headset. A three-button inline remote and microphone are built into the cord for making hands-free calls. If you have an iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad, you can skip tracks forward and back and adjust volume. However, if you have a Windows or Android phone, you can only adjust the volume and use the middle button to answer and end calls. (In other words, this is a "Made for iPhone" headphone.) This is a Bluetooth 4.0 headphone that's firmware upgradeable and charges via Micro-USB. It gets about six hours of playback from a single charge, which isn't great, but that's about what competing products like the Plantronics Backbeat Fit deliver. Beats says that a 15-minute "quick-charge" gives you an hour of non-stop playback. Unfortunately, the headphone doesn't automatically shut off when disconnected from your phone's Bluetooth. I think it should, particularly at this price point. You can adjust the length of the cord. (Sarah Tew/CNET) Performance From a sound standpoint, as I said, despite the inability to get a tight seal, I thought it performed well for a Bluetooth headphone. It plays loudly and has relatively clean, aggressive sound that's filled out with rich bass that isn't overpowering, thankfully. That seems to be Beats' MO with its new headphones: scale back the bass a bit while punching up the treble detail. As with the Studio Wireless and Solo 2, I wouldn't call this a balanced headphone, but it is more balanced than last-generation Beats headphones. I spent some time with the headphones in the gym and also did some runs with them outside. In the process, I compared them to Plantronics' BackBeat Fit Bluetooth sports headphones, which cost $70 less. The BackBeat Fits are a little lighter and arguably a bit more comfortable, but both stay on your ears securely and have similar "open" fits (they let some ambient noise in). I like the sound of the Plantronics, but the Beats do play louder and have a little more bass kick to them. Of course, when you're running around outside with lots of ambient noise around you, it's not the ideal listening venue, and I'm just looking for headphones that are comfortable and sound decent. For fans of Jaybirds X headphones, I like those as well, but they're all about getting a tight seal and jamming the tips into your ears (it can be hard to maintain a tight seal). I don't find the Jaybirds as comfortable as either the Plantronics or the Beats. The ear hooks are bendable, which allows you to customize the fit. (Sarah Tew/CNET) Conclusion In-ear wireless sports headphones are hard to do right, and Beats has gotten it mostly right with the Powerbeats2 Wireless. It combine strong sound (except in noisy environments) with a design that should comfortably fit most people. That makes it a pretty safe pick in a category (wireless earphones in particular) that doesn't have a lot safe picks. The only problem, of course, is that they're expensive. At $200, you'd like to see an automatic shutoff feature and perhaps full waterproofing rather than just sweatproofing. On the plus side, the headphone is firmware upgradeable, which should help keep them up to date as new smartphones and Bluetooth chips arrive (the headphones seem pretty durable, but I only tested them for a couple of weeks, so I can't tell you whether they'll hold up for years or not). In the end, I don't have any problem recommending the Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless, particularly if you're looking for a workout headphone. You just have to be comfortable paying a little extra for the Beats brand -- or as I like to call it, the LeBron Tax. It's a very good Bluetooth headphone; it should just cost about $50 less.

|Fall Favorites
Instead of the typical Monthly Favorites, I gathered up the products I have been reaching for over and over the last few months.
All of the products you see here are free of harmful ingredients and are Cruelty-Free. With the exception of the Bite Beauty lip product I will be mentioning, every product is also Vegan.
Let's get in to my Fall Favorites!
Oh, and every single product on this list is under $25!
Silk Naturals Eyeshadow in "Spooky"
$4.50 value
This is the only product that is no longer available for purchase (don't kill me!). This shade was a free gift with any Silk Naturals order during the month of October.
"Spooky" is the most beautiful pink duo-chrome that reflects blue and green! If you are familiar with the Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Solstice, Spooky is it's non-toxic twin sister but without the chunky glitter.
I loved applying this color all over my lid and into the crease with a deeper red in the crease to create the most perfect dramatic smokey eye for Fall! If you have green eyes, you NEED this color in your life.
Silk Naturals, make this shade permanent!

Silk Naturals Highlight Powder in "Fluff"
I am back on the highlighter kick! When my makeup needs that extra pop of something, I add highlighter, HEAVILY. What can I say, I love the look of matte skin with my cheekbones gleaming from above.
"Fluff" is a gorgeous light pink with gold shift. It is stunning on top of the cheekbones and down the bridge of the nose if you have a light or medium skin tone with a warm undertone. This color is even more stunning when paired with olive and khaki green eyeshadows.
I absolutely love Silk Naturals Highlighting Powders, they have amazing pigmentation and come in a large variety of shades. I hope they release more for the upcoming Holidays!

Pumpkin & Poppy Contouring Powder in "Oak Bark"
The newest makeup product to my collection, the Pumpkin & Poppy Contouring Powder in "Oak Bark" is the answer to every pale girls contour prayers.
"Oak Bark" is a light-medium cool-toned taupe with a satin finish. It is semi-opaque, so I prefer to use a fluffy brush for application.
This shade is perfect for carving out your facial features without looking unnatural. However, because of cool-toned aspect of this color, if you have a warm undertone, you will NOT like this color. It will look ashy and purple on your skin.
There's something about the Fall and Winter seasons that makes me want to carve out my cheekbones with a knife (kidding). Defined features just look more appropriate during the colder months....to me.

Honeybee Gardens Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow in "Daredevil"
Earlier when I spoke about using a darker eyeshadow color in the crease to create a smokey eye, this is the shade I was using.
"Daredevil" is a beautiful deep burgundy with a satin finish. If you love the tone of the Urban Decay Naked 3 or the Anastasia Modern Renaissance Palette, you will love this color.
Whether I was pairing this eyeshadow with Silk Naturals "Spooky", a khaki green, or simply smoking out a neutral eye, this was my go-to crease color for the Fall. It has excellent pigmentation, is not patchy or streaky, and it lasts all day when worn with an eyeshadow primer.

Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil in "Tannin"
$14 (LE Set), $24 (Full Size)
Once upon a time, I tried on just about every day of the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipsticks. I fell IN LOVE with the shade "Tannin", a deep cool toned red.
So when I saw that Bite Beauty released a deluxe sample size duo with the shade Tannin in their High Pigment Lip Pencil formula, I knew that for $14 I had to have it.
"Tannin" is universally flattering amongst all skin tones, and has a moisturizing formula that leaves your lips looking healthy and plump. The High Pigment Lip Pencils, despite Bite Beauty's claim, are not matte, they do have a sheen and they do transfer across surfaces. This formula lasts for hours on the lips, but does fade around the corners of the mouth, so I recommend applying a lip liner first.

Lily Lolo Pressed Mineral Blush in "Coming Up Roses"
Most of you guys know the struggle of finding a non-toxic blush in a pressed format...they are few and far between. But Lily Lolo did it! And boy did they do it well!
Their Pressed Mineral Blush in "Coming Up Roses" is the perfect cool toned mauvey rose. The formula is very long-wearing, blends easily into the skin, and layers well with other products.
No matter if I was wearing a deep smokey eye or a quick and simple eye look, this blush complemented the eye-look perfectly. The pigmentation is buildable so you can make it work for just about every look and almost every skin tone except deep or for those with very warm skin tones.
Here's hoping Lily Lolo launches more shades soon!

Superintendent Mike Murray announced today the Wright Brothers National Memorial Visitor Center will be closed until further notice. A mid-morning fire in an air handling unit motor at the facility was extinguished and there were no injuries reported. All staff and park visitors were evacuated from the building. The Kill Devil Hills and Colington Fire Departments responded.
The park, including the Wright Brothers Pavilion with interpretive exhibits, remains open to visitors. The building where the fire occurred will require clean up and repair of damage and debris and a thorough assessment of the condition of cultural artifacts. The building is expected to be reopened in several days.

First Sentence: They called it Bloody Bridge.
Harris really knows how to write a compelling first chapter. This one is particularly good. Better, still, she starts off strong and just keeps going.
There are very good introductions to the various characters and excellent descriptions which create a strong sense of time and place. She has a wonderful diversity of characters, from those in positions of power and wealth, all the way to the poor and to those who work with the dead. In each case, Harris gives us a good sense of who they are and who they each relate to the story and to one another.
Harris has a great voice. She creates wonderful analogies, "It often seemed to Sebastian that trying to solve a murder was sometimes akin to approaching a figure in the mist." Her dialogue, occasionally imbued with a touch of humor, "Someone cut off his head." "Good heavens. How terribly gauche." "Frightfully so…." is a pleasure to read.
The story contains fascinating historical references such as those related to England's slave trade and their attitude toward it. Such elements add veracity to the story. Through Hero, Sebastian's wife, we gain a picture of the period and the live of those just struggling to get by and do for themselves. "But she knew now that she had never appreciated just how thin the line between survival and starvation was for a vast segment of London's population." The information on the costermongers and the mentality of collectors, as well as that about the deaths of past kings, is informative and educational, yet seamlessly woven into the fabric of the story.
The characters of Sebastian and Hero are rather romanticized and larger-than-life, but the other characters, including Jane Austin and her brother used in a very appropriate manner, balance them out nicely and you're left truly with a mystery, rather than a romance.
"Who Buries the Dead" is a very good read; with suspense, history, and a touch of romance. It is a wonderful book in a wonderful series.
WHO BURIES THE DEAD(Hist. Mys-Sebastian St. Cyr-London, 1813) – VG

(to prevent sea-sickness), I met Birgit at the San Francisco Sailing Company.
I arrived a bit early so I could photograph the *infamous* Sea Lions at Pier 39. All was still and relatively quiet...very few tourists up and about ..
|The Bay Bridge and some fog and blue skies!
|Coit Tower and foggy skies..
Headed West...towards the Fog-Shrouded Golden Gate....
|Nearing the Bridge.... it was really cold and windy, and the waves were beginning to intensify!
|You can see we dressed for the occasion! A-ha-ha!
Whew! That was close!
Sails against the Bridge....it was a glorious experience!
I hope you enjoyed sailing along!

Traveling this summer with your family? Know when a passport is needed!
According to the U.S. Department of State, every child 17 or under (this means all children, even infants and newborns) must have a valid passport among other official documents to leave the United States no matter where they are traveling. Also, many countries require that all minors have passports from their home countries to enter their borders.
Due to many child abductions over international borders by parents, relatives and strangers, stringent requirements have been put in place to protect minors.
To receive a minor passport, there is an application process to complete, documents to provide and additional documents that will need to accompany the passport to be shown to a custom agent before leaving the country. To obtain a passport for a minor child the process is as follows:
Minors aged 16 and 17 have their own special set of requirements in addition to the basic passport application process:
- They must be present at the time of application
- They must present photo identification
- If the minor does not have photo ID of their own, the guardian or parent must present their photo identification
- A photocopy of the same identification document must be provided during the application process
- Parental or guardian consent must be established
For minors below age 16 there is a seven step process that must be followed to be issued a minor passport:
Step 1: Submit the completed and signed Form DS-11 Application for A U.S. Passport. To complete and submit this form the minor must:
- Be present with both guardians/parents
- Provide additional documents required on the DS-11 form (Listed in steps 2-7)
- Provide the minor's SSN
For Steps 2-7 of the U.S. Passport process visit the Bureau of Consular Affairs website.
