Oh My Zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration. That sounds boring. Let's try this again.

Oh My Zsh is a way of life! Once installed, your terminal prompt will become the talk of the town or your money back! Each time you interact with your command prompt, you'll be able to take advantage of the hundreds of bundled plugins and pretty themes. Strangers will come up to you in cafés and ask you, "that is amazing. are you some sort of genius?" Finally, you'll begin to get the sort of attention that you always felt that you deserved. ...or maybe you'll just use the time that you saved to start flossing more often.

To learn more, visit ohmyz.sh and follow @ohmyzsh on Twitter.

Getting Started

Disclaimer: Oh My Zsh works best on Mac OS X and Linux.

  • Unix-based operating system (Mac OS X or Linux)
  • Zsh should be installed (v4.3.9 or more recent). If not pre-installed ( zsh --version  to confirm), check the following instruction here: Installing ZSH
  •  curl  or  wget  should be installed
  •  git  should be installed

Basic Installation

Oh My Zsh is installed by running one of the following commands in your terminal. You can install this via the command-line with either  curl  or  wget .

via curl

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

via wget

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

Using Oh My Zsh

Oh My Zsh comes with a shit load of plugins to take advantage of. You can take a look in the plugins directory and/or the wiki to see what's currently available.

Enabling Plugins

If you spot a plugin (or several) that you would like to use with Oh My Zsh, you will need to edit the  ~/.zshrc  file. Once you open it with your favorite editor, you'll see a spot to list all the plugins that you'd like Oh My Zsh to load in initialization.

For example, this line might begin to look like...

plugins=(git bundler osx rake ruby)

Using Plugins

Most plugins (should! we're working on this) include a README, which documents how to use them.

We'll admit it. Early in the Oh My Zsh world, we may have gotten a bit too theme happy. We have over one hundred themes now bundled. Most of them have screenshots on the wiki. Check them out!

Selecting a Theme

Robby's theme is the default one. It's not the fanciest one. It's not the simplest one. It's just right (for him).

Once you find a theme that you want to use, you will need to edit the  ~/.zshrc  file. You'll see an environment variable (all caps) in there that looks like:

To use a different theme, simply change the value to match the name of your desired theme. For example:

ZSH_THEME="agnoster" # (this is one of the fancy ones)

Open up a new terminal window and your prompt should look something like...

Image (Asset 5/5) alt=

In case you did not find a suitable theme for your needs, please have a look at the wiki for more of them.

If you're feeling feisty, you can let the computer select one randomly for you each time you open a new terminal window.

ZSH_THEME="random" # (...please let it be pie... please be some pie..)

Advanced Topics

If you're the type that likes to get their hands dirty, these sections might resonate.

Advanced Installation

Some users may want to change the default path, or manually install Oh My Zsh.

Custom Directory

The default location is  ~/.oh-my-zsh  (hidden in your home directory)

If you'd like to change the install directory with the  ZSH  environment variable, either by running  export ZSH=/your/path  before installing, or by setting it before the end of the install pipeline like this:

export ZSH="$HOME/.dotfiles/oh-my-zsh"; sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository:
git clone git://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh
2. Optionally, backup your existing  ~/.zshrc  file:
cp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.orig
3. Create a new zsh configuration file

You can create a new zsh config file by copying the template that we included for you.

cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc
4. Change your default shell
chsh -s /bin/zsh
5. Initialize your new zsh configuration

Once you open up a new terminal window, it should load zsh with Oh My Zsh's configuration.

Installation Problems

If you have any hiccups installing, here are a few common fixes.

  • You might need to modify your  PATH  in  ~/.zshrc  if you're not able to find some commands after switching to  oh-my-zsh .
  • If you installed manually or changed the install location, check the  ZSH  environment variable in  ~/.zshrc .

Custom Plugins and Themes

If you want to override any of the default behaviors, just add a new file (ending in  .zsh ) in the  custom/  directory.

If you have many functions that go well together, you can put them as a  XYZ.plugin.zsh  file in the  custom/plugins/  directory and then enable this plugin.

If you would like to override the functionality of a plugin distributed with Oh My Zsh, create a plugin of the same name in the  custom/plugins/  directory and it will be loaded instead of the one in  plugins/ .

Getting Updates

By default, you will be prompted to check for upgrades every few weeks. If you would like  oh-my-zsh  to automatically upgrade itself without prompting you, set the following in your  ~/.zshrc :

To disable automatic upgrades, set the following in your  ~/.zshrc :

Manual Updates

If you'd like to upgrade at any point in time (maybe someone just released a new plugin and you don't want to wait a week?) you just need to run:

Uninstalling Oh My Zsh

Oh My Zsh isn't for everyone. We'll miss you, but we want to make this an easy breakup.

If you want to uninstall  oh-my-zsh , just run  uninstall_oh_my_zsh  from the command-line. It will remove itself and revert your previous  bash  or  zsh  configuration.

I'm far from being a Zsh expert and suspect there are many ways to improve – if you have ideas on how to make the configuration easier to maintain (and faster), don't hesitate to fork and send pull requests!

We also need people to test out pull-requests. So take a look through the open issues and help where you can.

Do NOT send us themes

We have (more than) enough themes for the time being. Please add your theme to the external themes wiki page.

Oh My Zsh has a vibrant community of happy users and delightful contributors. Without all the time and help from our contributors, it wouldn't be so awesome.

Thank you so much!

Follow Us

We have an @ohmyzsh Twitter account. You should follow it.

We have stickers and shirts for you to show off your love of Oh My Zsh. Again, this will help you become the talk of the town!

Oh My Zsh is released under the MIT license.

Damn, I wish we could edit a review we've already posted because I knew I was forgetting something else!

I liked that you included Harry's pain during the initial penetration. That's not something I've ever read before in a fanfic, and it makes perfect sense to me. Especially since he is uncircumcised, I would imagine the glans is extra tender, never having been exposed to being rubbed against fabric from underwear or a towel - which I'd guess would provide at least a degree of desensitization? Not to mention exposure to air if the guy walks around the house naked at all.

BAFan posted a comment on Monday 6th June 2016 2:20pm

Forgot to say that you should read up on the hymen, because your description here doesn't seem accurate. It isn't a barrier in the sense that it completely covers the vaginal opening - at least, if it does the girl is in trouble because there's no way for menstrual blood to escape. Anyway, I realize this story was written many years ago, so maybe you now know better. My comment is mainly for those readers who may not be aware of that fact due to the common misconceptions that still persist even to this day.

BAFan posted a comment on Monday 6th June 2016 2:10pm

Wonderful! The first part was a blend of humor and disbelief - on my part - as to how Harry could possibly hide the effects of being Crucioed. Loved that he attacked Voldemort physically after Snake-Face tested his Crucio on Ginny! Although I mostly go for the slash, I have no objections to Harry having a relationship with Ginny - or Hermione, for that matter (because I think she and Ron just don't really make sense) - and you absolutely made I work for me.

Great writing!

gtgrouch posted a comment on Wednesday 28th May 2014 5:15pm

More soft-core than anything else, but it seems like Harry is happy.

Nytefyre posted a comment on Friday 18th January 2013 11:13pm

Nice story - the explicit part was fun, too... and I liked the two perspectives. Reading it straight through once for each POV might have been too much, though - interleaving the POVs might have been easier for the reader...

Thanks for posting.

JC70s posted a comment on Wednesday 9th November 2011 3:13am

I love this story. Thank you! It was funny while Harry messed up Voldemort and it was also tender when they were making love for the first time. Well done!

HellWolf666 posted a comment on Wednesday 8th December 2010 12:04am

please finish writing more on this one wat happens when they classes again

Abraxan posted a comment on Friday 9th July 2010 11:16pm

Sweet! Lovely job

Abraxan posted a comment on Friday 9th July 2010 7:28pm

That's the most fun I've had reading a "final battle"! And him naming her freckles is priceless!!

snapesworstnightmare posted a comment on Sunday 27th June 2010 9:28am

You're a guy. I can tell that much just by reading this. Your writing is good, but you've a little homework to do on female anatomy before you get a gold star. The hymen is closer to the netherlips than what you wrote in the story for Ginny. When reading this fic, that little fact confused me and made me question whether or not she really was a virgin or if she had broken her own hymen or if Harry was even her first. Other than that, good job, I was blushing the entire time.

juice14 posted a comment on Thursday 10th September 2009 8:41pm

I award thee the award for best love scene between Harry and Ginny! I really felt the emotions coupled with the intense eroticism between the 2 leads. I like how you made the act so much more than just sex. Each one giving up themselves to the other. To me these are the things that define the act of makin love between 2 souls. Fantastic work and I hope others will share my opinion. :)

Part of this chapter repeats itself over again. Just an FYI.

delrusant posted a comment on Friday 21st August 2009 6:43am

Great first time, it could be used to educate all the young male teenagers around of how not to rush things when they are on the verge of looosing their virginity.

delrusant posted a comment on Friday 21st August 2009 4:47am

I loved the Ginny punch that was so relieving the tension built up during the fight. Nice plan for a Flight of Death'S death

donroho89 posted a comment on Sunday 10th May 2009 11:55am

Ahhh... so you can write lemons. Write them very well even. Was wonderin' earlier about that in fact and this has cleared up a lot.

joy glennie posted a comment on Saturday 18th October 2008 1:57pm

Sensational story. This chapter took me three sitting....but was lovely to look forward to.

joy glennie posted a comment on Wednesday 15th October 2008 2:21pm

Great story. Just loved the first person style of writing. Very dramatic, but great humour also.

Marina4370 posted a comment on Thursday 18th September 2008 10:57pm

Wonderful! Simply a wonderful story. Thank you for writing and please, write more, think about a sequel of this story with the marriage of Harry and Ginny and a confrontation with Dumbledore. I love Harry angry with him and I share your point of view about a lot of mistakes Dumbledore made.

Carolyn Jinn posted a comment on Thursday 5th June 2008 8:40am

That was really great. Your descriptions and the way you put both perspectives was absolutely wonderful.. It would be great to know what happened for the rest of the time they wewre "locked away".

Another sequel would be good.
Also, to guage what the reactions to their little escapade would be from Ginny's family and the rest of the school.

Overall, your writting and imagination are great..

wow! that was so funny, i love it... i really like d his plan. very awesome indeed

A Review of Tuesday in Love: the Breathable, Peelable, Halal Nail Polish

How excited were we when Tuesday in Love, a Canadian company specializing in water permeable nail polish were kind enough to send us some of their gorgeous nail polish colours to try out and review! It didn’t take long for me to sit down with my very close friend and beautician Sonja Morgan from Skin Deep, and try out their beautiful shades.

2015-10-27 14.07.50

We loved the colours; Cotton Candy, (YOLO) You Only Love Once and Applause, with the topcoat on the far right.

Firstly, what we noticed was that overall the nail polishes provided great coverage. They went on very nicely and gave decent cover in one coat. The colours are funky, bright and young. Perfect for young girls and teens. We were pleasantly surprised to find that there was no strong chemical smell emitting from the nail polishes (unlike Inglot, which has a very strong smell).

Brush Size

The brushes are quite small and hence ideal for smaller nails and for painting neat edges.

The red solution was the thinnest and the pink was quite thick. The blue (we would describe it as Air Force Blue) was a smooth solution, whereas we tend to find that usually blues are quite thin. The colours had quite a nice sheen to them, and the nails appeared to be evenly coated, covering over imperfections and ridges. The solutions were opaque and just a minimal amount is needed on each brush.

We felt that they took a little longer to dry, but this can be an advantage as it is very forgiving; it is quite easy to correct any mistakes. The red was the only one which we felt really needed two coats.

The topcoat went on opaque, but dried as clear.

Bottle Size

We felt that the bottles are a great shape. They are smaller than others you will see on the market and very young and hip looking. The bottles are very easy to carry around, similar to Chanel bottles in fact. They are solid, and not tapered hence they are not easy to knock over.

To remove, simply peel off!

The most amazing thing about the Tuesday in Love nail polishes is that nail polish remover is simply not required. The solution, once dried, is completely peelable, and comes off in one piece.

The Halal Factor

One of the most important aspects for many Muslim women is that this nail polish is water permeable, and therefore halal. For those who are not already aware, Muslims must perform ablution for prayers five times a day, and the water must touch every part of their body. Regular nail polish does not allow one to do that and blocks the water out. Tuesday in Love is great for those who want to wear a nail polish temporarily – just for a lunch date, for example, and then peel it right off.

You can take a look at their halal certificate on their website. The company even give you instructions on how to test the ‘halalness’ of the product yourself.

We felt that this was a disadvantage for Tuesday in Love. The nail polishes are not very hard wearing, and tend to chip and dent even when a topcoat is applied.

At just over $12 per bottle, Tuesday in Love is quite competitive and even a touch cheaper than their rival Inglot.

Overall, we loved the nail polishes and feel that they are great for casual wear especially for younger girls and teens. The brush and bottle sizes are tailor-made for smaller hands, the colours are young and vibrant, and the ease of application and removal are perfect for girls who go to school and want to wear nail polish on the weekends.

The nail polish emits a soft sheen, rather than a high gloss finish, so for adults we recommend Tuesday in Love for casual events, and not necessarily for formal wear. I would definitely use Tuesday in Love nail polishes simply due to their stunning colours and peel-ability. You can’t really go wrong!

Make a Date with Talah Al Jood, the Ultimate Date Store in Jeddah

Few fruits can boast the historical significance, cultural heritage and nutritional benefit of the Dactylifera – more commonly known as the date! The sweet crop of the Phoenix is thought to have originated in the lands of Iraq, and known to be cultivated in Eastern Arabia circa 6000 BCE. Truly a magnificent plant, the Phoenix Dactylifera – for evidence shows it has been around for at least 50 million years. Dates are one of the most popular food items in the Makkah region, but also in the whole of Saudi Arabia and the Arab World. They are available in most markets, with many names and in various forms. From sweet and gooey Sukkary dates to larger fruity Anbary dates, simpler varieties to the most expensive Ajwah dates from Madinah there are endless choices to discover and sample.  You will find pastries filled with dates, date bars, even McDonald’s offers a date pie as an alternative to its apple pie! Explore, if you wish, the rich varieties and flavours of this special fruit. They can be found in many vendors’ shops and supermarkets, yet as a personal recommendation; I suggest a trip to Talah Al Jood. By far, Talah has dates of the most delicious flavour and superior quality in the whole of Jeddah. In addition, their customer service is truly unparalleled. Upon entering the store, customers are greeted and served piquant dates – completely free of charge – to dip into a rich chocolate fountain. Also, a cup of the finest Arabic coffee to accompany your chocolate date – poured fresh from the Dallah. Inside, a vast variety of dates awaits, ranging from as low a price as SR35 per kilo, upwards. Staff are friendly and extremely generous with their samples, and offer whatever the customer may ask to try. If you feel at all adventurous and are keen to excite your taste buds beyond just the fruit, try their caramel dates, dates with coffee beans (a coffee explosion in your mouth), cappuccino dates, pistachio dates, dates packed with hazelnuts, rolled in sesame seeds, filled with chocolate, covered in chocolate and many, many more. They even sell confectionery (I spied a round ‘chocolate panda’) and tiny bite-sized crunchy deserts. Date cakes are also on display. My personal favourites are the delectable caramel kind and the distinctively delightful coffee dates. For relatively small orders, dates can be packed in gift boxes or gift plates, however for larger orders; parties or corporate buyers: Talah has a variety of elaborate arrangements. There are many branches of this irresistable store, but the one I visit most frequently is the branch on Sari Street (from Prince Sultan Street, head past Jarir, and it’s on the right-hand side). It’s a definite must-visit for anyone living in Jeddah. If you’re an expat, try taking some home with you. There will surely be dates to satisfy every palate. What’s your favourite date? Be sure to tell us in the comments, happy date-shopping!

Broad-winged Hawk

This hawk is very impressive to be around. Starting with it’s awareness, it knows where I am all the time and tracks my movement continuously. To a certain degree it finds me curiously entertaining and I would say definitely not a threat. It visits each year for roughly 3 weeks bridging end July and beginning August. Sometimes its by itself (like this year) while others years there are two of them… adult and juvenile. Here its perched high atop a 75ft dead Birch watching me with the camera.

Night Blooms – fine art greeting card

A magical  dancer stands on point under an old fashioned street lamp. Her face is sad, and she seems lonely, but her pose is graceful and erect.  I modeled her face on the lovely Gloria Grahame, an actress from Hollywood’s golden age who often played bad girls with a heart of gold.   In the background is a land mark of Hallowell, Maine: Brass & Friends Antiques, a place that for years lit  Water Street at night with windows like an Aladdin’s cave.

Your Creative Soul Genius

My new studio! Finally settled in after four moves in four years.

Your creative soul genius is needed in the world right now. We need more beauty, innovation, kindness and willingness to see things from a new perspective. Most importantly, we need more happy people who do fulfilling things and share them. When creative souls do their purpose, this is how they show up and it’s a huge gift.

I took a break from my blog because I had enormous life changes in 2019…

I moved, got married and welcomed two adorable step-daughters into my family. My own beloved daughter graduated from college, my little dog passed away… and then of course there’s been a pandemic. Despite the last 20 months being a stressful time on planet earth, I’ve managed to stay healthy, sane and even (dare I say) happy most of this time.

It’s not to say that I haven’t been stressed, sad or deeply affected by all the world events. I have. I’ve been called to up my compassion, examine my beliefs and be more open and tolerant. I’m learning to cope with isolation and making adjustments to inconvenient circumstances. I’m doing my best to be resilient and be a good human. Some days are better than others. We are all being challenged and called to open our hearts more and be better. Even if we don’t do it perfectly. Creativity definitely helps with this.

Creativity lifts me up on bad days and helps me find purpose on the days I’m feeling isolated or low energy. Creativity is a deep well of resourcefulness.

Your creative soul genius may surprise you.

It’s not the things you paint, craft, cook or sew (even though these things are amazing and wonderful). Your creative soul genius goes into doing all these beautiful things, but what you make is the byproduct. Your true creative soul genius is your unique energy and the choices you make everyday to direct that energy. When you direct your energy into something positive and aligned, you get to see it reflected back to you.

YOU are the gift, not what you do. When you know this, you have the key to open up your creative channel. It’s also the key to building your business, creating prosperity and crafting a joyous life. When you get that YOU are the gift, you are creatively empowered. Creatively empowered people are resilient, innovative and responsible. They know how to find the joy in anything and choose it.

You have this super power. I encourage you to dive into something that lights you up. Remember that the world needs more happy people who are lit up, and you get to be one of them.

My gift happens to be helping other creative souls embrace the power and authenticity of their gifts. If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, let’s chat! Set up a Discovery Session by clicking HERE

The flying saucer has landed. We saw Digital Mob Rule (DMR) rear its ugly head in the US during the 2016 election with Trump’s win aided by the Russians, of course. These remnants seem to be still holding strong with QANon and other tripe still circulating heavily. On the left, we see it in the form of Cancel Culture and Woke. Both forces on the left and right utilize DMR to put people in the streets so DMR also leads to bodies being deployed for whatever group or movement utilizes it.

A Poem

In the reds of dawn, I see the orange of my own dusk
Grey storms of life, I stand strong at my own helm
And the sea of existence in a battered world undulates
Wildly abandoned upon the world’s throes
Harken, ye travelers, lift up your worn mugs
Drink mightily and merrily from blessed cups
Your soul is always yours, they cannot steal that
They’ll take everything else, stay your hearty course

Sing loudly as you go with joy in your voice
Tramps and gypsies, sailors and whores
I think of you as November winds boldly blow
And turn up my…

Walking down the street in Donbass
Russian sniper done shot me in my ass
Don’t wanna be here but I do
Might have to kill someone I once knew

Maybe we fished in the same streams
Could we have dreamed the same dreams?
Life is not funny here on the front line
We’re all sitting here wondering if it is our time

I got them old Donbass blues
Russian soldiers blood stains my shoes
Took him out, wasn’t gonna be the one
Mama, Mama, did you read the news?
Please, Lord, please, let this all be done

She smiled and…

The dog days of summer roll on here in Kyiv’an Rus. Heat indexes comparable to Florida haunt me in this ancient capital. Girls take self-love selfies at the beach bars on the Dnieper. Dust soaks right into your pores. Flowers each take their turns in bloom. One dies and another soon shows that it is its time. Babushkas sell their strawberries along the walking paths to Soviet ugly buildings. It smells like New York in July.

Cyrillic letters haunt my dreams and force me to read them on the buses that roll by. Traffic, deathly smells, and summer heat make…

A poem about the end of …

The needle and the art it’s done
Seems like now on just about everyone
Comes a time to say you’re done
Look at them, long may they run

Was a time when it was worn by just a few
Soldiers, bikers, criminals, the boys in blue
All the great rebels no longer hold it true
When everyone’s got one, it’s no longer new

Badges, we don’t need them round here
Original art and thought gave up, no longer dear
Homogenized, pasteurized and stinky craft beer
Give it up, maybe because you hope the end is near…

Soul pain, have you ever felt it?
Did you feel it in your head, or
Did you feel it in your heart?
That gut-wrenching wound in your chest
The one that never bleeds red
But makes you wish that you were dead

Soul joy, have you experienced it?
Did some piece of music touch you down deep?
Or maybe a baby’s smile or the happiness of a dog?
Could it have been a sunrise or sunset?
Or, the one you love more than anyone?
Did you feel it and smile at the sun?

Wherefore art thou, oh my soul
Why don’t…

A poem for Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus

Winter snows have passed, days grow longer
Troops on the borders amassed, tensions grow stronger

Is this how you spend Great Lent? Preparing for slaughter?
What cost to your souls to be spent? Isn’t there something broader?

Your Orthodox faith ties you together, yet you still raise your guns
Will your souls burn in hell forever, Our Holy Mother shuns?

For now, lay down the weapons, instead to Pascha let us march
Oh, leaders, look to the heavens, and please do not be harsh

Can you stand in the fields of battle and…

Expat Poem from Ukraine

Winter’s greyness seems to be slipping away
Warm sunshine welcomes us again, today
Russian troops are massing on the border

Flowers bloom even among the ugliest places
Life springs forth amid even the most desolate spaces
Belarus troops mobilizing on someone else’s order

Oh, my adopted new country, now is Ukraine
Will you ever be free from Imperial Russia’s reign?
Sniper fire has laid now more of you to rest

Prayers and incense rise slowly to the sky
Is it really so necessary for others to die? …

Author Owned Image from former website

No, I do not wish the world and everyone in it to die. It’s kind of doing that on its own, isn’t it? This is about trying and dying to the world. Trying and dying, hoping and praying, doping and staying… What’s the point, right? Why not just give in and embrace the world? It won’t hug you back, will it? I guess I should explain a little better.

“The World is Death for what does it offer that is not transient?” St. Symeon, the New Theologian.

Deep, huh? Now I guess maybe it is best to offer some…

Ye who are spiritual, for God’s sake correct my works and please do not curse me, a sinner.

Water Optimization

Jazzed to finally see blue sky and sunshine, K and I headed out to the yard to get it prepped before we head off on a trip to Belize for 2 weeks.

Ellie lazing on this sunny spring day

Our plan was to get all of the barrels and beds ready for when we get home so that we can get planting. We are of course going to be away right at the time that we would usually be moving plants from our indoor greenhouse to their permanent homes out in the yard. Due to our trip, we didn’t even start plants this year. We are instead going to purchase them from a local nursery.

Feeling a little like Goldilocks, we realized we have areas of the yard that have too much water, not enough water and just the right amount. Those with just the right amount are not tinkered with…obviously. But the area that has too much and too little needed some fine tuning.

We started with our oak barrels. K had drilled holes into most of them, but had missed a couple, which were now cesspools of smelly sludge like soil. We decided to empty them out and let the sludge dry out (probably some good nutrients in there), so that we could get some holes drilled. We are also going to limit the drippers to reduce the amount of water going to those barrels as the are more shaded and do not get sucked dry from our sun and semi-arid dessert conditions.

It was a messy job, and the sludge was very stinky, but there were only 3 barrels to do, so we made quick work of it. Once we had emptied them, we flipped them over and drilled a good amount of holes to assist with drainage. We do have rocks in the bottom of the barrels to help create a bit of a drainage reservoir, but regardless, we still had our stinky soil. With the holes and the rocks, we are hoping for nice damp soil, that doesn’t get sludgy. The only one of us that found the sludge interesting was Ellie. I sometimes wonder if stinky things smell like beautiful florals to dogs. Or maybe she is just interested in the smell in general, who knows. Our goal was to keep her out of it so we didn’t have a stinky dog.

Once that was taken care of, it was time to address the area that wasn’t getting enough, or any, water. Our privacy cedars behind are shop are extremely important to us as we like the screen that it provides from our neighbours. We are friendly people, but when we want to enjoy our yard, we want it to be private and not like a fishbowl. Unfortunately, due to the steep slope and a perimeter making/checking dog, some of the gravel from behind the shop had been pushed down over the years and had buried the sprinkler heads.

We do have a plan for behind the shop as well. We have started our first row of large rocks, and by end of summer, will have blanketed the slope in the larger rocks, hopefully deterring Ellie from walking back there. If not, at least she won’t be able to push the gravel down anymore. We will also be building a larger retaining wall in front of them to provide a level bed for them. The old retaining wall was a dinky little thing that is now almost completely buried.

10 of the cedars are in rough shape, but hopefully not completely dying with no hope of survival. They still have a good amount of green to them, but the red is catching up. Our new plan was to run some sprinkler hose about 6-8″ off the ground, through the branches. From there, we bought some spring shaped drippers that allowed us to hang the water source directly over the roots and aim the spray where we wanted it to go.

After a calf-burning, cedar hugging, good time, we managed to get all of the bushes that are showing issues, a strong water source. We also had to clear some of the dead cedar needles. Instead of completely clearing them out, we made pockets on the uphill side and are hoping that they will act a little like a damp blanket over the roots, absorbing the water that would likely run down the hill without it. We chose this method as we do believe a little more soil could come down, or Ellie could push the larger rocks onto the sprayers, so we wanted to have a little wiggle room. Also, instead of general area sprayers, every bush is going to have their own sprayer that is directed right at their root system for more pin-pointed watering. We tested to ensure that we were not creating a waterfall where the tomato towers were going, while still also ensuring they are getting a thorough soak. We don’t want to be wasting water. It worked beautifully.

Once we are back from Belize, we will purchase another 10 – 15 of these hanging sprayers to setup the bushes that are right now very healthy. That way, we will have nothing but strong and bushy cedar trees.

It felt good getting out into the yard before we are gone for a few weeks. We will be doing a little bit of rock wall work over the next couple days before we take off. We want to be prepared as best we can for when we get back.

Superior outcomes for the graft and the transplant recipient have prompted the implementation of new strategies promoting living-donor kidney transplantation, and the number of such transplants has increased considerably over recent years. Living donors are undoubtedly exposed to risk. In his editorial “underestimating the risk in living kidney donation”, Walter Glannon suggests that more data on long-term outcomes for living donors are needed to determine whether this risk is permissible and the extent to which physicians and transplant surgeons should promote living-donor kidney transplantation.1 In this paper I argue that it is not clear that medical professionals have underestimated this risk, nor is it clear that more data on long-term outcomes are needed in order to determine whether it is permissible for individual autonomous agents to expose themselves to this or, indeed, any risk. The global shortage of organs available for transplantation ultimately means that every year thousands of individuals who value their life die needlessly. This is an unacceptable loss of human life. Saving life is one of the most wonderful things an individual can do for another. Promoting any strategy that will assist in saving life and preventing human suffering within acceptable moral limits is legitimate. ER -

Blackberry Outage

Research In Motion (RIM) experienced a major Blackberry outage yesterday. I don’t use a Blackberry, but the event put me in mind of several outages I’ve encountered recently in my own life.

– I was on a hot date and the time had come to drink champagne from this hot babe’s navel. She pulled up her blouse and I discovered that she had an outie. Trying to drink champagne from an outie is a joke.

– I hang out with a bunch of guys in what we informally call The Hooters Club. We go to the bar in town and drink some beer and comment on girls’ hooters and just have a good old time. The latest issue of Out! magazine listed every guy in the club except me as a closet gay. These guys have been pretending to like hooters because our town doesn’t have any other place to drink beer! Was I interfered with? I was drunk. I didn’t know what I was doing.

– I suffered an electrical power outage at home that lasted a week. The power company refused to recognize my problem as an outage because, they said, I hadn’t paid my bill and they had simply turned off the electricity. They relented on payday when I sent them the money I had budgeted for food. I spent the next two weeks dumpster-diving, which I consider a food outage of sorts.

– I had a “God outage” last Sunday when the pastor of our church removed me from my post as Sunday School teacher for the fifth-grade boys and told me I could return only when I had a doctor’s certificate proving that I had had a chemical castration procedure – another outage!

2 Responses

  1. I can think of other places to drink champagne out of.

  2. Oh, outies. The world’s most cruel bodily joke.

GRAPHIC VIDEO: Monkey Attack Caught On Tape

(Headline in the Huffington Post, 11/17/11)

I picked up my son Saturday morning. Outing with divorced dad. A beautiful day.

My son wasn’t mad at me, or bitter that I had moved out. We got along. He was excited to visit the new primate exhibit at the zoo.

We stood in line for tickets. Everyone wanted to see the monkeys. The new enclosure was extensive. A zoo is a jail, I suppose, but this jail, for the monkeys at least, was more pleasant than usual. There were many new apes, some quite wild. We spent a long time admiring them and their antics. Zoo personnel went in and out of the enclosure several times, always careful to keep the gates locked. No one wanted a wild ape running loose.

We took a break for some lunch. Spent a pleasant half-hour at a table in the sun, eating zoo food. Talked about mom and me and why we were apart.

As we were leaving, we heard some crowd noise down a side path.

His mom was waiting to pick up our son at the gate. We were friendly with each other, she and I, but a little formal. After she had pulled away from the curb, with the boy waving to me from the passenger’s seat, I turned and walked back to my new apartment.

Ax-Wielding Man Chops Snow Plow

(Headline in Huffington Post, 11/17/11)

Have you ever whacked a solid-steel plow blade with an ax? Even with gloves, it stings. Wrecks the ax. Doesn’t even scratch the plow. What was I thinking?

I started with a little bitty rubber hammer. Kindergarten. Gingerbread house. Total destruction.

I was lonely as a child. The others were wary. I went through a ball-peen stage before settling on a claw.

I skipped college and got work at Johnson’s Concrete Removal. Pneumatic hammers and drills. I thought about becoming a dentist but gave it up.

I switched to axes one night in August. I was down on the south side of town driving nails into telephone poles when an old lady came out of her house and said, “I axed you befo’ not to do dat.”

Have you ever been in love? What do you chop up then? Discarded mattresses and sofas on the sidewalk? I wanted to buy my baby the moon with a ribbon tied around it. I guess I went a little crazy.

What Goes Into A Mix-Ready Bass Tone?

Album bass tones are some of the most widely debated tones amongst professionals. How much of your mixes low end come from the bass guitar track? 50%? 90%? How would you actually measure it?

The truth is, a great, mix-ready bass tone should just fit perfectly, regardless of the situation. It’s not as simple as just using an EQ to balance the level of the bass frequencies with the rest of the mix (if it were, our jobs would be a whole lot easier to do). Instead, you need to find the right tone that fits your session and let that guide your low-end mix decisions.

So where do we start?

Bass Preamps

If you’re a hard rock or metal bassist yourself, you’ve probably already seen firsthand what a difference a great preamp can make to a bass’s tone. Using specialty preamps can add a certain amount of grit to your tone. It’s a unique type of grit – not really strong enough to be considered a full-blown fuzz or distortion, but certainly noticeable enough to dirty up your sound.

Tube preamps are especially unique in their ability to add non-linear harmonic distortion to your tone.  You can drive them harder for a more noticeable grittiness, and depending on the age and quality of the tubes get a rounder, warmer tone once they’ve been broken in a bit. Bassforge Rex Brown’s Era knob was built to give you a way to dial in those kinds of characteristics, with a brighter, more modern tone when turned clockwise and more vintage, darker tones as you dial it back.

Dialing In Your Bass Amp

Getting the right settings on your amp can be a daunting task, especially if it’s got a lot of functionality built into it. The EQ portion of many bass amps goes far beyond what you’d find on most guitar amps; rather than lows, mids & highs, it’s not uncommon to find full graphic EQs on the front of a bass head.

To dial them in, find where your other instruments (specifically guitars) sit, and feel free to scoop those frequencies out of your bass guitar if needed. Bass is an incredibly powerful instrument in that low end tends to carry and build up, lessening its reliance on many of those competing mid-range frequencies that other instrumentation fights over.

A great trick for helping your bass continue to cut through even when scooping is to add a slight boost just above and below the scooped frequency range. This bump can offset some of the cut transparently; creating a psychoacoustic effect where many listeners won’t even notice anything was cut.

Even still, EQ alone might not be enough to get your tone right where you want it in the balance of your mix. A Contour control is a great way to change the “tilt” of how your bass sits, but if your bass is going in and out of the mix, further dynamic processing is going to be your best bet.

Compressing & Limiting Bass

 In the past, we’ve discussed how two-part bass compression can help you with dynamic control and consistency, but we didn’t really get into how those processors can affect your tone.

Just like the pseudoscience behind the previous EQ trick, a well-compressed bass signal is going to make the player sound smoother and more consistent – instantly giving your tone a boost in quality. For low end, this means squashing everything up against a threshold for a very controlled sound. In the upper frequencies, we’re able to be a bit more relaxed with compression, allowing some dynamism to get through in the attack of each note.

 Setting the crossover to get these two situated correctly is essential, as David shows in this studio clip:

A you can see around the 8 minute mark, he’s using some drastically different post-processing on the low end of his bass than the high end, because each range contains a specific set of tonal issues that needed to be addressed.

Approach your bass tone with that same attitude of “how can I keep making this bigger and better?” and you’ll find yourself working with great-sounding bass on a regular basis.

Low-End Theory

You know that the other major element of your low-end is your kick drum, but do you know how to get those two elements to play nicely outside of just scooping some room out for your kick?

Or what about the bass synths in your mix that are overpowering the bass guitar? Do you know how to balance the two effectively?

If you have any hesitation, the resources available in JST VIP are just what you need! Inside, we’ve got tons of guides and courses to help you get the tones your after, take control of your mix, and guide you through common studio issues that plague engineers and producers every day.

Intending Outcomes or Reacting to Life?

Choices for Happiness I am attending the Volunteers of America National Conference this weekend in Tampa, FL. One of the workshops I attended today was led by Dr. Juliet Spencer, Pastor of St. Andrew’s United Methodist in Baton Rouge, LA She gave a presentation of choices we have for happiness, based on How We Choose […]

Green Machine update

Some time back I mentioned that Green Machine can, on occasions, be a bit of a handful.  Even at quite low speeds the car will tend to chase any road imperfections and if you push it a bit this twitchiness only increases – take the old girl to her outer limits and come off the power and you’ll be wrestling to keep her even close to straight and you could end up going anywhere. The problem is a thing called tramlining and it’s one that’s common to most Z3s.

Now without getting too technical, this idiosyncrasy is caused by several things with chassis flex being a major contributor and, not so great steering/suspension bushes also playing a part as well.

Checking out the Beemer forums advise varies, but the general recommendation is do all you can to stiffen up the front end………….. so that’s what I’ve done.

Searching through ebay, I got a great deal on a really nice polished ally front strut brace. When fitted, the brace ties the two front suspensions turrets together and eliminates the possibility of lateral flexing in these two components. The added benefit is it’s a really cool bit of kit and with the bonnet up the car looks all mean and track ready.(or boy racer, depending on your point of view)

Z3 Strut brace 2 (3)

The next stage was to tweak the steering. Powerflex do a superb range of polybushes, these are solid and much harder than the originals and when in place eliminate the inherent sloppiness of the softer factory fit rubber versions.

I decided to replace the lower wishbone bushes first with a view to seeing how that did before investing time and dosh in any further improvements.

Ok so now for the road test. Well I’ve read varying reports on others success or not so successful improvement so I took Green Machine out with some trepidation. I did my first  run on a couple of bits of road that have given me problems in the past and it seemed to go pretty well, but the acid test was on particularly nasty bit of fast downhill dual carriageway that ends in a roundabout, not far from where I live.

I gave the old lady a fair bit of welly down the dual bit and rather than disclose the actual speed in print, suffice to say it was on the fast side of quick. As I approached the roundabout, foot off the gas, stamp on the brakes and grip the wheel ready for the sleigh ride…but no, in fact straight as a die (ish) and no histrionics at all – well almost none, I mean she’s still not perfect but man, she’s a hell of an improvement on before.

Result, as I think we chaps say

One in eight men in the UK admits to suffering from mental health issues. But the sad fact is that while men are aware of their mental struggles, societal taboos and stigma lead to many suffering in silence.

By simply talking with one another, men can improve their mental health.

The LightOn mental health campaign

This week has been Men’s Health Week, so we invited Andrew Coleman, one of the founders of the LightOn mental health campaign, to join us to explore how we can support ourselves, friends, family members and colleagues.

LightOn is a mental wellbeing campaign by the people of Dorset, for Dorset. It gives men permission and an opportunity to talk about mental health.

In his open and honest presentation, Andrew talked about his own experiences with his mental health. He explained that one of the hardest steps we can take is to open up. But when you show vulnerability, it gives others permission to open up.

Human beings are instinctively community-based, and LightOn gives men that community – space ‘beyond the banter’ to share stories, experiences, information and support.

You can connect with the LightOn campaign through their website, on Twitter, Instagram (especially during their ‘Talk More Tuesdays” Insta-chats at 7pm on Tuesdays), LinkedIn and Facebook.

You can watch the recording of Andrew’s presentation here:

Where to find help

This Here For Each Other staff wellbeing website has lots of resources you can use to manage feelings of anxiety and stress, or around things such as sleep problems and bereavement.

But you may feel that you would really benefit from some 1:1 support. Why not refer yourself into our staff wellbeing service? Referrals are straightforward – take a look at the referrals page for more information. Read more about our team and how the service works.

Using the Five Ways to Wellbeing

The Men’s Health Forum (MHF) says that:

“Even before the pandemic, men’s mental health was a cause for concern. There is a grave disparity in the high number of men who die from suicide and the low number of men who seek treatment for depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges.”

The MHF has been promoting the Five Ways to Wellbeing – five things we can all do that are scientifically-proven to help us feel better – through its CAN DO Challenge:

  • Connect – connect with other people (eg. call an old friend you haven’t since before lockdown) #connectmonday
  • (Be) Active – move your body (eg. go for a run/walk/swim/dance/etc) #activetuesday
  • Notice – take notice of the environment around you (eg. turn off your phone for an hour) #noticewednesday
  • Discover – learn something new (eg. read a book you haven’t read before) #discoverthursday
  • Offer (or give) – do something for someone else (eg. volunteer for a local community group) #offerfriday

Find out more about the Five Ways to Wellbeing

As well as our content about the Five Ways – Be active, Connect, Give back, Keep learning, Take notice (mindfulness) – colleagues from Live Well Dorset will be joining us in the next few weeks for two specific sessions on the Five Ways to Wellbeing:

A2. Compliance Position

The ongoing survey readiness audits that are carried out in the medical center on a daily basis possess identified areas we can focus on to make certain our accreditation survey answers are exceptional. Audits are performed on an recurring basis having a focus on trends that are most often cited by Joint Percentage. Nightingale clinic has shown to have made great improvements more than prior study findings in Emergency Administration, Human Resources, Leadership, Medical Personnel, Nursing Attention, Provision of Care, Treatment and Companies, Information Administration, Handoff Connection and critical value credit reporting.

We have put an abundance of resources and efforts into improvement in these categories and will continue to make strides to boost every aspect of the care you can expect to our people. (The Joint Commission, 2013)

A2. non-compliant Trends

Areas we have identified that are not in compliance with all the Joint Percentage standards happen to be:

1) Environment of proper care findings with numerous smoking wall penetrations, interim life safely actions for structure projects, clogged fire extinguishers, lack of satisfactory evidence of adequate fire exercises, lack of tests for medical gas alert panels, clogged sprinkler measurement as well as jumbled hallways.

2) Falls has continue to be an issue for we and will continue being a focus for every department inside our hospital.

3) Moderate sleep is a place that has been discovered that needs a hardwired method for not the particular hospital but also for the inconsiderateness providers. The Joint Commission standards for moderate sleep compliance will need teamwork in the hospital and anesthesia group.

4) Pain assessment and reassessment is definitely an ongoing major focus location that we have not mastered within our organization. We now have developed performance improvement techniques to work toward complying. This common is a focus for every inpatient and outpatient department of the hospital.

5) Authentication of verbal purchases continues to be watched, but remains a challenge to get our hospital.

6) Prohibited abbreviations are used periodically throughout our organization and it is a piece of our day to day audits when you are performing open record reviews. 7) Medication Administration is a priority focus place for our hospital, which will we continue to struggle with various elements of this standard. We could focusing specifically on range order complying and labeling medications.

A3a. Staffing Patterns

The case research shows that in unit 4E has the the majority of opportunity for improvement in the range of patient falls and hospital acquired pressure ulcers. The comparison of comes and breastfeeding care several hours appears to be pending, however is apparently a craze developing. The data appears which the staffing nursing jobs hours per patient day time have enhance during the last quarter. In October, the falls per 1000 patient days was around

on the lookout for. During August, the nursing jobs hours every patient day time were approximately five. The fall of shows an increase in falls every patient day to 10. 5 with nursing several hours per individual day of 15. five. December proceeds the trended increase to fifteen falls per 1000 individual days and 15 medical hours per patient day. The data demonstrates that the more several hours per affected person day we certainly have, the more is catagorized per one thousand patient days we knowledge. The data pertaining to pressure ulcer prevention employs the same tendencies.

A3b. Staffing requirementws Plan

The research has shown the fact that number of staff available is usually not causing the increase inside the patient falls. The staff are obviously not really rounding successfully on their people, and being proactive in fall reduction. The plan to decrease nosocomial pressure ulcers preventing falls will probably be presented to all or any staff upon 4E simply by 4/15/2014 and fully integrated immediately. The new action plan will probably be evaluated to get the remaining first quarter and if effective, will be integrated throughout the business. The plan can utilize 15 hours per patient working day, which is the typical of the last quarter. The master plan will require the staff to be better and round with purpose in order to concentrate on the demands of the sufferers. This improved focus should certainly prove to cure the number of comes per 1000 days.

Plan of action:

1) Required education by 4/15/2014 to all or any staff upon 4E

2) All patients will be rounded in hourly commencing 4/16/2014 3) All hourly

models will address the four P’s (Pain, potty, assets and position) a. Soreness

i actually. Is individual experiencing soreness at this time

ii. If perhaps so , request patient to rate their very own pain

iii. Based on pain level, offer medication or additional intervention m. Potty

i. Does the patient ought to use the rest room, urinal or perhaps ambulate to rest room and if so , assist these to prevent declines and keep with them right up until completed c. Possessions

i. Is usually call lumination, phone, dishes, etc… attainable of affected person? The patient having their possessions attainable will reduce their need to reach or ambulate without assistance to answer the phone, etc… which will prevent falls

m. Position

i. Is it time to change the patient’s position (left to right, ambulate, etc…) the changing of position frequently will assist in the prevention of pressure ulcers.

4) Every single staff member tag performs the hourly circular will document each round on the rounding log that will be located in the individual room. Rounds can be done by either the nurse or perhaps nurse’s helper, as long as all needs for medication or other exceptional needs will probably be immediately tackled by the doctor. The plan of action presented will make sure that the people are seen and their needs will be met by using an hourly basis. The staff will anticipate the needs coming from all patients by simply addressing areas that cause the majority of falls. The individuals will know the staff will be returning within an hour and will no more have a need to use their contact light except if in an emergency. The call lights will decrease, which will build a more organized unit that is very dedicated to being aggressive with all sufferers. The results will be examined and adjustments and update to the plan will be made where necessary to continue improving the fall and pressure ulcer rate on this kind of unit.

Short Course on – What You Should Know

Roofing Services

When you think about roof services, you might promptly consider those tasks commonly executed by expert roofers. Yet roof covering services go beyond employing a specialist as well as having him set up shingles or placing brand-new roof covering on your home. Yes, these are definitely essential aspects of roof covering solutions. Nevertheless, there is far more that goes into it. From the preliminary design as well as preparation to the actual setup, roof covering solutions encompass a whole lot greater than simply the initial steps. In order for a roof covering to be functional as well as in great condition, roofing solutions include repair work, examination, substitute, as well as avoidance of leakages. But what do you mean by prevention? Are you claiming that specialist roofing business do preventative roof covering maintenance?

The truth is that roofing business can only do so much – they can not quit leaks from occurring and can not inspect for damage beforehand. There are 2 kinds of roof solutions: maintenance and repair. Maintenance typically refers to any kind of precautionary actions taken versus existing issues. For instance, a firm may do a series of tests to find leaks prior to starting the real job. However if no such leaks are identified upon the initial examination, then the company has to carry out leakage repair services on the existing roof coverings. While some roof covering services focus just on fixing, some provide a mix of both services. It would certainly be misguiding to think that roof covering solutions encompass only fixing and also replacement. Of course, fixing damages is very vital. However if you locate an opening in your roofing system or believe that a shingled roofing will cave in, then it’s a good concept to call a professional roofer for prompt repair work. On the various other hand, if leakages continue unabated and threaten the framework of your home, after that it would certainly be advisable to speak to a roofer for leakage repair services also. There are 2 sorts of roof services – the replacement as well as the repair work. When it comes to a replacement, the old shingles must be replaced by new ones. However, one essential element of roof covering services is preserving the stability of rain gutters and fascia.

This is because old seamless gutters as well as roof shingles are a lot more prone to deterioration and therefore present even more threat to the framework of your house. When selecting roof covering business, it’s important that you employ a service with a tried and tested performance history. And also to make sure that your specialist offers high quality industrial roof services, it is necessary that you examine their licenses and also certifications.

The National roofer’s Association (NRA) provides an across the country qualification program which checks professionals’ expertise, experience, and skill concerning the roof solutions they supply. In addition to this, there are numerous various other ways of making sure that your professional gives high quality solution; for instance asking your service provider for recommendations or making consultations to examine the top quality of his job. You can additionally take advantage of the roof business’ web site to read about their service plans, prices and also terms and conditions.

Happy Birthday, Hilda Sheehan

What a treat to spend some time with Hilda Sheehan today, and on her birthday, too.  Hilda has really helped me become more involved in poetry over the last few years, through her work at Bluegate Poets, Swindon, Domestic Cherry magazine,  and the Swindon Poetry Festival, of which she was this year’s Director.

There must be hundreds of people she’s similarly enabled.  She is a poetry enabler, an encourager.  Hilda makes poetry happen and brings poetry to places that might not seem obviously full of poetic potential.  She’s a wonder!

I sometimes get together with Hilda, and Jo Bell, another poetry enabler, and we read and comment on each other’s poems.  It’s a sort of informal workshop with gossip and refreshments thrown in.    Anyway, here we are being involved with poetry, eating cake, and drinking pink fizzy alcohol.  It was a splendid day and I’m looking forward to our next get together.  Happy Birthday, Hilda! xx

In this context, patients face difficulties such as fear of losing their jobs, travel restrictions, isolation from social life, problems related to mental health, and feeling of wellness. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the stigma assessment scale in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods: The study sample consisted of 153 diabetic individuals. The validity of language, content, and construct were examined to evaluate the validity of the type 2 diabetes stigma assessment scale. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess internal consistency reliability. Results: The content validity index of 19 items which were detected as significant was found to be 0.86. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.92. The results of the item analysis show that all factor loads are significant (t-value > ±1.96). The coefficient of correlation between type 2 diabetes stigma assessment scale and test?retest technique was 0.82. Conclusion: It was concluded that the stigma assessment scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nurses may use this tool to better understand and help relieve the prevalence and severity stigma of individuals with type 2 diabetes in Turkey.

The Sad State of the World

        There have been so many natural disasters happening around the world, almost continuously ~ earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, tornadoes, floods, mudslides, and at this moment a volcano still erupting.  The occurrences have been more violent than ever, resulting in losses and destruction on an unprecedented scale worldwide.  Does God have a message for us in all of this?
        First of all, nothing can happen without God's permission and God is always trying to speak to us one way or another.  Of course, the disasters have saddened the world, but what's even sadder is the fact that we are not aware or don't believe that God send us messages.  It's so easy to simply attribute all the happenings to nature.  Politically, mentioning God in public is no longer correct.  How often does God come into our minds?  How many Christians actually talk about how the Lord works in their lives?  Why is he always shoved into the background and ignored?  Are we ashamed of him?  Do we care more about what people think of us than what God thinks of us?  A lot more questions.
        Yet the Father always has us in his mind, on his heart, and under his watchful eyes; but we dismiss him at will.  It's just so one-sided! Jesus, the cornerstone, was rejected by the builders; now the Lord, our creator and savior, gets ignored by his own creatures whom he loved with his own life.  What a sad state we are in!

10 Natural Ways to Alleviate the Challenges of Menopause | Joylux

10 Natural Ways to Alleviate the Challenges of Menopause

While many women turn to hormone replacement therapy (HRT), it may not be the best choice for everyone. Women at elevated risk for breast cancer – or those who have already survived it – are understandably concerned about its downsides and often are precluded from using hormonal therapies by their provider. With more than 80% of breast cancers occurring in women over the age of 50, the decision over how to safely alleviate the changes with menopause is a big one.

We've compiled a list of ten natural alternatives to HRT. Make sure you discuss these options with your healthcare provider to ensure you're considering each one within the context of your personal health profile. Our hope is that, with the right information and tools, you'll be able to feel a little more like yourself again.

Natural Alternatives to Hormone Replacement Therapy

HRT is one of the most common treatments for minimizing the symptoms of menopause, but many women have reasonable concerns about its risks.

Luckily, there are alternatives.

Here are some natural ways to reduce the symptoms of menopause:

  1. Focus on good nutrition and exercise
  2. Cut down on alcohol, coffee and nicotine
  3. Reduce stress or improve stress management (cortisol makes symptoms worse)
  4. Avoid hot environments, beverages and spicy food and sip cold or iced drinks
  5. Keep a cool water face mist on hand
  6. Wear layered clothing made from natural fibers
  7. Opt for a lukewarm shower or bath
  8. Keep a towel by your bed in case of night sweats
  9. Keep your bedroom as cool as possible
  10. Give yoga, hypnotherapy or acupuncture a try (some women swear by it!)

When you're combating these issues, having sex may feel like the last thing you want to do. Believe it or not, staying sexually active is a great way to promote natural lubrication, increase your libido and alleviate stress (which can exacerbate the symptoms of menopause if left unchecked).

Additionally, some plant estrogens, supplements and other medications may also be helpful. Ask your healthcare provider to explain the full range of options available to you, including the possible side effects of each.

Vaginal Dryness: What can you do about it?

For many menopausal women, the feeling that you are literally "drying up" is very real. Feeling uncomfortable in your body is the last thing you need. But there is some good news.

Options now exist to help. By harnessing the power of red light, which has a very high safety profile, vFit provides an all-natural, non-invasive way to encourage natural lubrication.

Designated a low-risk general wellness device by the FDA, vFit and vFit PLUS use gentle heat to warm vaginal tissue and help soothe dryness. The best part, it involves no surgery, hormones, or downtime.

So, while we may not have the option of bypassing the physical changes of menopause, there are ways to help alleviate them, from the comfort of home.

The Intense Insecurity of “Being Yourself”

One of the reasons I’m so intensely insecure and self-conscious is because everyone keeps talking about “be yourself” — but the moment you open up, you’re only accepted when “being yourself” is a certain type of self. It’s really romantic that we push a magical version of vulnerable and unique, but the actual opening up part is dang hard and uncomfortable and requires a kind of love that most people won’t muster, since they’ve never really had to. It ain’t like Hollywood, ever.

If you find the sort of friend who truly loves you, I mean the weird obnoxious squeaky sweaty you, however imperfectly, keep them close and forgive them for when they do not understand. Friendship will take more than once and more than the pretty picture in our heads.

— J.S.

12 thoughts on “The Intense Insecurity of “Being Yourself”

  1. Isn’t that one of life’s biggest riddles? People tell you to be yourself but the moment you do, they tend to attack, criticize, try to change you. Love is hard, keeping a soft heart is painful and difficult work. Also, we aren’t supposed punch people in the nose 😉

  2. It’s sad that our true self when shown is not accepted. We should continue to be our true self even when we meet oposition. It is when we surge forward that we a small others are changed.

  3. Being yourself isn’t effected by how we feel about what others decide about us. Those feelings say something about them not about you. Being yourself is a constant stable place of knowing who you are without thinking who you are has anything to do with pleasing someone else. That’s how I see it anyway. I actually did some pondering about insecurity and security and wrote a blog post about it. It may help….or not….that is up to you. I do think we have many aspects to our self but that can be expressed. Our self isn’t related to what others think about it. Food for thought!
