Excellent and economical
We live in a sub in which half the residents are snowbirds. Pest control is sporadic at best during the summer months. In addition, one of the local "specialists" has told his customers he is using a new product that only needs to be applied every other month, although they are still billed monthly. I am not making this up! Ants had become quite prolific, spilling over from the absentee owners on either side of me where they reproduce and prosper. Enter Cyonara 9.7, which worked as advertised with just one application. Can't speak for the neighbors, but my ants are history.

Great Product. Great Price. Easy to Use
I'm very happy with the cyonara insecticide. I recently took over pest control of my home and have had no bug issues since using this product. Thanks for the help and support.
May 14, 2015
Just as Effective as Professional Pest Service
I was kind of reluctant to stop the monthly pest control service. But if anything has changed it might be that there are far less pests . . I venture to say I have seen almost zero activity since I sprayed Cyonara. For those people who are thinking about handling your own monthly pest control . . Do it . . My cost went from $65/month with a professional pest service to less than $5 a month when I am spraying the Cyonara. No math needed . . .

Podium vs. Lectern

Manner of Speaking

Rather, it’s about the distinction between two mainstays of public speaking: the podium and the lectern. A lectern is a raised, slanted stand on which a speaker can place his or her notes. “Lectern” is derived from the Latin word lectus , the past participle of the verb legere , which means “to read” The word “lecture” comes from the same source. There are tabletop lecterns and there are standalone lecterns.

Lecterns are already a bad idea most of the time, and they don't make anyone look good as a speaker. But here's one more reason I dislike them: Unless you're using an adjustable lectern, a short person is at a greater disadvantage than a person of average or above-average height.

Cameron takes to the lectern in a crisis

One reason why I suggested last week that Gordon Brown should give up trying to emulate David Cameron's walkabout style of delivery and return to the lectern was that it would make the embattled P.M. Well, it was back to the lectern, back to a script and hardly any movement at all, let alone any walking about.

‘Mature, grown-up and statesmanlike’ Cameron at the lectern

Max Atkinson

So David Cameron did stay at the lectern for his big speech - and won the instant accolade of being ‘mature, grown-up and statesmanlike’ in one of the interviews with the party faithful a few seconds after he’d finished. So my advice would be that, if he’s going to carry on using a lectern, he needs to work on alternating his glances much more frequently than he did in this speech, so that no one in the audience can complain that he’s ignoring them for unusually long periods of time.

Contradiction about rebirth ..

Add to Spiritual Diary

Hinduism preaches rebirth. Christianity says that there is no rebirth. One has to solve this contradiction. I am giving a solution. You are welcome to give a better solution, if any. You neither give a better solution nor accept My solution. You want the contradiction to be alive like a burning fire and you want to make this world into a hell with these religious fights. You do not care about other religions. You are rigid about your own misinterpretation of your scripture. You say that your scripture in the light of your own misinterpretation alone is correct. This indirectly means that the other religion is wrong. After sometime you will come out directly saying that the other religion is wrong. The people of other religions do the same thing. This creates hatred among the people. Love vanishes. Fights and wars result. You are responsible for all this chaos.
The solution I give here is that there is no rebirth as far as the spiritual chance is concerned; the real human birth is lost. Even if you get human rebirths, you will only be immersed in worldly bonds.

When the concept of God and divine knowledge is lost, such human births are as good as animals (Pashuvat Naraanam). Thus, both religions are synchronised. Moreover, God can give human rebirths to deserving souls and He is not bound by any rule. However, I only criticize Hindus and appreciate Christians in this point. Hindus are postponing their spiritual efforts thinking that there are several human rebirths. In Hinduism also it is said that human rebirth is very rare (Nara Janma Durlabham—Shankara).
I remove the contradiction and appreciate the merit, wherever it lies. You said that animals cannot remember their previous births. But even human beings do not remember their previous births and therefore they are no better than animals in this aspect. The human being who has the spiritual chance alone uses his discrimination power (Buddhi) and thus he alone is the real human being. Other (worldly) human beings are as good as animals. You stand firm on the knowledge of Jesus. I will never oppose you in that point. What I say is that you should stand firm on the real interpretation of the knowledge of Jesus and not on the narrow interpretations given by certain conservative people.

Death is our only constant companion

Add to Spiritual Diary

In his commentary on the Bhagvad Gita, Vinoba Bhave ji narrates the following story ............

There is a story about Eknath.  A man asked him, "Maharaj, your life is so simple and sinless.  Why is our life utterly different?  You are angry with none, you quarrel with none, you hate none.  How calm, how loving you are!"  Eknath replied, "Never mind me. But  I have found out something about you.  In seven days from now, you will die!"  Who could disbelieve Eknath's words?  death in seven days?  Only 168 hours left .......... Oh God, what a calamity?  He ran in haste to his house.  Nothing seemed clear to him.  He was talking of disposing of his affairs and preparing for the end.  Then he fell ill.  He lay flat on his bed.  Six days passed.  On the seventh day Eknath came to visit him.  He greeted the saint.  Eknath enquired, " How are you?"  He said, "All is over, now I am going."  Eknath asked further.

"In these six days, how many sins did you commit?  And how many sinful evil thoughts came into your mind?"  And the man who had been awaiting death answered, "Lord, where was the time to think of thoughts?    Death stood ever before my eyes."  Eknath said, " Now you know the reason, don't you, why our lives are absolutely sinless?  When Death, the lion, stands always before us, how can evil thoughts appear?  Even to sin, one needs freedom from anxiety .  Constantly thinking of death is a means of avoiding sin.  If death is always staring him in the face, with what strength can man commit sin?"

This story revealed a great insight to me regarding life and death.  We all know that  whoever is born has to die, irrespective of his/her spiritual evolution …….. that is the one CERTAINITY of life.  Yet, even when people go to mourn another’s death, they talk and behave as though death is a disease which has happened to the other person – and – it can never happen to them or their near and dear ones !  They go about life as if they were insulated from DEATH ……… and one of the precautions taken to insulate oneself from Death is to not talk about it …….. not even think about it ……… it is INAUSPICIOUS to talk about Death.  It is the pigeon –like attitude ………. I do not see it so it does not exist and I can just carry on with life.  But the TRUTH is that Death is our constant companion on our journey of life ……….. and not some stranger from whom we can get away.  But we wish to ignore the reality of Death on our lives …….. death scares us ……… so we chose not to acknowledge death and go about life.  Why ????????  Because thinking about death makes us think and analyse our behavior and it is uncomfortable to live life (according to our desires) showing a mirror to oneself every moment.  But …….. as the above story shows ……….. if we rather acknowledge the reality of Death in our lives ……..  talk to it ……….. talk about it  (as we talk about our other friends or even enemies ……….. even though we hate our enemies – yet we ACKNOWLEDGE their existence in our lives/in this world)  ………… when we accept that Death is our constant companion (although it keeps itself invisible) and it can manifest itself any moment …….. we will definitely put more thought into the way we live our lives … Plan our lives and its worldly affairs in a better manner …… maybe this acceptance will make us strong enough to resist  the pull of the mind ………. Act as a deterrent for us to let the mind control our every action ………. For the simple reason that then we live our lives knowing that we do not have unlimited TIME in LIFE on Earth !!!!!

Could my birthmark be cancerous? Why do women start growing hair on their chins at 35?

Is a man's hand size really a sign of the length of his penis?

This is your chance to corner a doctor at a party and boldly go where no patient has gone before...Dr Tom Smith, gently urbane and seemingly unshockable, answers your questions with a wit and wisdom that sadly your own doctor just never seems to have time for.

Michael Watson's Story : The Biggest Fight, Paperback Book

Michael Watson's Story : The Biggest Fight Paperback

This is the autobiography of Michael Watson, the former Commonwealth Middleweight champion, whose career was tragically cut short.

In 1991 he had a world title fight with Chris Eubank - the people's champion against the guy we love to hate.

Eubank retained his belt, but it was one of the most controversial decisions in British boxing history.

The Rematch was the biggest super middleweight title fight British boxing had ever seen.

Tragically, in the eleventh round, Watson caught his neck on the back of the ropes after taking an uppercut from Eubank. He collapsed and suffered serious brain damage which left him paralysed.

After years of intensive therapy, and with the same determination and strength of spirit that he showed in the ring, Michael Watson has made a remarkable recovery and won the biggest fight of all - the fight for his life.The Biggest Fight is a testament to why Michael Watson was, is, and always will be 'the people's champion'.

Also known as Thai ginger, this unique rhizome looks similar to ginger, but has a shinier skin and stonier look.

While it’s thought that you can substitute ginger for galangal that isn’t very true. Many Vietnamese, Hmong, Laotian, and Indonesian recipes call for both as they have different flavors. Galangal has a ginger-ness to it, but it also had an intense floral sweetness, piney flavors, and a more penetrating spice with a hint of cinnamon.

Whole galangal is fibrous and very hard, and is more so when dried. It can be added to soups or stews and fished out later. To use it otherwise you will need a strong spice grinder.

Remember in the early 2000’s when we finally got over that whole parsley trend and stopped putting it on everything? Well, forget that. That was parsley as a garnish. Parsley as an ingredient brings a needed bitter flavor to food that people often forget to add. If you ever eat a dish and feel it’s missing something then parsley is usually the remedy.

Top Three UFC 189 Prop Picks

Jason Lake

Friday, July 10, 2015 6:20 PM GMT

Friday, Jul. 10, 2015 6:20 PM GMT

Still not sure which fighters to put in your UFC picks this Saturday? No sweat; here's a quick rundown and update of what we've covered so far for UFC 189 at the MGM Grand.

Finally, we're mere hours away from one of the biggest nights in combat sports. Saturday's UFC 189 pay-per-view in Las Vegas (10:00 p.m. ET) would have been even bigger had Jose Aldo not pulled out of his Featherweight title defense against Conor McGregor, but there's no use crying over bruised ribs. Chad Mendes will give McGregor a proper fight, and there are tons of other top-quality matchups on Saturday's card.

We've been carpet-bombing this major event with previews, analysis and UFC picks, so before things kick off at the MGM Grand, let's revisit what's gone down thus far and update you on any new and relevant information. Enjoy the fights, and may the Octagon be with you.

Steamy McGregor
Remember how all that money was pouring in on McGregor? It still is. As we go to press, McGregor has moved as high as –200 on our UFC odds board, up from –145 when Mendes was first announced as Aldo's replacement. People love McGregor, and for good reason: He's charismatic, he knocks people out, and he's a fresh face in a sport that thrives on new personalities.

He's also rapidly running out of value at these odds. Our colleague Swinging Johnson was more than willing to back McGregor at the lower price, but he also acknowledged that Mendes would pose a difficult challenge with his wrestling acumen, and eventually switched his allegiance to Mendes. Hard to argue with that; while McGregor has a 100-percent takedown success rate in the Octagon, that's only 5-for-5, and against substandard competition. Personally, I'm recommending the UNDER on the total of 2.5 rounds. Others believe McGregor and Mendes will cancel each other out style-wise and go the distance, and they certainly could, but we're betting otherwise here at the ranch.

Free UFC Pick: Take UNDER 2.5 Rounds (+100) at 5Dimes

[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":2862638, "sportsbooksIds":[1096,19,43,227,999996,93,238,123,139], "LineTypeId":5, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]

Browse the UFC 189 Betting Directory

The Distance
The UFC odds have been moving away from the favorite in Saturday's Welterweight title fight between champion Robbie Lawler and challenger Rory MacDonald. Johnson had MacDonald in his UFC picks at – 165, down from as high as –240 about a month ago. As we go to press, MacDonald is available as low as –154 at Marathon.

We see MacDonald as having many of the same “special sauce” attributes as McGregor, although in this case, people have been steering their bets in the other direction. It's hard to blame them; Lawler beat MacDonald (–410) by split decision two years ago, then went on to upset Johny Hendricks (–210) for the Welterweight title last December. We're hesitant to bet against either gentlemen, but once again, the props market is here to save us. We see yet another decision in their immediate future.

Free UFC Pick: Fight Goes 5 Round Distance: YES (–115) at Bookmaker

[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":2820996, "sportsbooksIds":[1096,19,43,227,999996,93,238,123,139], "LineTypeId":5, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]

Mansion on the Hill
When we looked at the undercard for UFC 189, we singled out Cathal Pendred as our pick to click in his Welterweight bout against John Howard. One of the things we cited in Pendred's favor was his association with SBG Dublin, the same camp that McGregor and Gunnar Nelson train out of. If you want success, surround yourself with successful people.

We're doubling down on Pendred after his stay at “The MacMansion.” McGregor has been training for UFC 189 at a lavish Las Vegas location, and sure enough, Pendred has been there, too. “We've got a team of 20 guys here,” Pendred told FOX Sports earlier this week. “All different sorts of coaches. We've got a masseuse. We've got chefs coming in to cook for us.” Nelson has also been there in preparation for his bout with Brandon Thatch; we had Nelson in our UFC picks, and again, we're even more encouraged thanks to the MacMansion. Jeeves, have we installed that extra hot tub yet?

Free UFC Picks: Take Pendred –105 at Pinnacle; take Nelson +155 at BetCRIS

[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":2820996, "sportsbooksIds":[1096,19,43,227,999996,93,238,123,139], "LineTypeId":5, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]

Why you’re not getting better. Understanding MTHFR.

Why you’re not getting better.  Understanding MTHFR.

Throughout my years as a naturopathic doctor, natural medicine never worked that well for me personally.  Now, it worked a lot better than conventional drugs, so I was never disappointed by the approach.  And yet I never got the amazing resolution of symptoms that some of my clients did.  Eventually if this happens enough, you just start to wonder if there is something about yourself that makes you so difficult to cure.  At least it made me wonder what was wrong with me that I couldn’t get the same help that I was able to give my clients.

So of course I just eventually figured it was just me, probably something deep seated and emotional that would require years of therapy.  I tried all the various forms of therapy, some with positive effects and some not.  Tried all the various diets for my digestive disorder, again some nebulous improvements.  And of course I have don’t a ton of herbs, supplements and nutrients.  Most of these approaches did little for my digestion or even made me worse.

Now I have had quite a few clients like myself that just didn’t respond great to any approach, either natural or conventional.  They would also end up going through this self-questioning process eventually.  The question is usually some version of “What is the matter with me that I can’t get better”.  Even when I went to naturopathic school and went through all of the doctors there are the school I never had a great response to all of the natural medicine approaches that were supposed to work so well.

Recent improvements in genetic testing are starting to clarify what is the difference between someone that gets better right away, and a person that struggles to recover their health.  This testing shows us that we were right that it is something about us that is different that causes us to respond differently to the medicines that seem to work for everyone else.  It is not something in our personalty, past, emotional state, subconscious or karma.  It is something in our DNA, a variable in our genes.

The current genetic testing that we are recommending to help with these cases is a test called MTHFR mutation.  This test checks to see if you have two normal genes, one normal gene and one limited function genes, or two limited function genes.  MTHFR stands for Methyl-Tetra-Hydra-Folate-Reductase.  This is the enzyme in our body that converts the storage form of folate to the active form.  This step of converting from the active to the storage form of folate is required to activate the immune system and to create the signals in our brain that allow us to function properly.  Active folate is required to create the active serotonin for example.  Active folate is required to activate our defensive T cells.  This immune reaction is one of the first lines of defense against bugs (virus and bacterial) invading our system.

Even though the odds say that most people tested should come back normal, I have yet to see one of our clients come back normal.  This makes perfect sense and explains at some level why they are my clients.  Let me give you and idea of how much influence this one genetic mutation can have on the way your body is working.  MTHFR mutation can affect the way our cells produce energy, the production of brain chemicals that affect our motivation, our feelings of wellness and self esteem, and our metabolism.  MTHFR affects how many T cells we make and how well they function.  T cells main job is to serve as a scout for the immune system to look out for virus or bacteria or to look for abnormal cells like cancer cells.  Almost every part of your immune function that adapts to the environment is affected by T-cells.  Additionally MTHFR is required for the proper creating of the tissue that surrounds our nerves, called the myelin sheath.

The active form of folate that is required for all of these systems to work is not available in food, rather it is only created in our bodies.  If you have normal MTHFR genes you have a super highway for creating active folate.  If you have one abnormal gene the process for creating folate is more like crossing a rope bridge.  If you have two abnormal genes you are walking a tight rope in creating active folate.

I have seen this mutation in many of my clients with digestive problems (myself included), any type of chronic pain syndrome, headaches and brain-fog, anxiety and depression as well as chronic fatigue and fertility problems.  Also these seem to be the clients most susceptible to cancer.  This list will probably increase the more testing we are able to do to see what is really going on inside the body.

These are often the cases that have not felt well on other natural approaches.  Of course because the can’t utilize normal supplements.  Treating each individual as an individual is the key.

How the Auto Industry Should Embrace CRM

Information technology is a costly enabler of customer relationship management (CRM). But CRM programs coupled with smart technology and strategy may soon mean the end of the road for mass marketing in the auto industry.

Mass marketing is clearly at a crossroads, as companies recoil from the inefficiencies they perceive in conventional media spending. Magazine advertising pages declined by 11.7 percent last year, the steepest plunge in a quarter century. Merrill Lynch & Company Inc. is predicting a 4 percent decline in U.S. television advertising spending this year, following a similar fall last year.

“Embraceable CRM starts with a simple premise: The most important part of the database isn’t the base; it’s the data.”
These actions are not simply a reflection of a weak economic cycle. They're the result of a new demand for greater accountability and increased returns from marketing spending. This is driving corporate investment in customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Analysts predict that global spending on CRM will total between $20 billion and $45 billion in 2002.

Embraceable CRM
But marketing executives are beginning to discover that CRM system implementation — in which simple database consolidation can run from $20 million to $30 million — is not an easy fix to the problem of communicating to, wooing, and retaining customers. The problem stems from a lack of connection between companies and customers that no information technology system alone can solve. The automotive industry is a classic example of this disconnect. On average, interaction between an auto company and a customer occurs 1.2 times per year. That simply does not provide enough data to answer such crucial questions as, Which people should get what offer on which product at what time?

Companies need an approach to CRM that marketers — and customers — can embrace. Embraceable CRM starts with a simple premise: The most important part of the database isn’t the base; it’s the data. To gain the information necessary to embrace the customer, relationship programs must be based on two principles:

  • First, they cannot wait until the first purchase is consummated to begin to understand consumer interests, concerns, desires, and habits. The key to unlocking value is to recognize that different customers follow different purchase paths. Effective CRM systems must dive deep into the purchase decision before the purchase is made. Call this purchase-cycle intimacy.
  • Second, because different customers follow different ownership paths, effective CRM systems must link deeply and broadly to the individual’s ownership experience — the consumer’s relationship with the car throughout the ownership cycle.

Acting on these two principles requires companies to bring otherwise separate technology programs together in complementary ways. For example, Internet-enabled communication systems make it increasingly possible to capture valuable insights about consumers in the middle of the purchase process. Interactive kiosks in dealerships — or in alternative sales venues, such as malls — are proving to be excellent tools to begin to engage consumers in dialogue. Online activity at home or in the office represents another vital opportunity to achieve purchase-cycle intimacy. The bursting of the e-commerce bubble should not obscure the fact that some 70 percent of consumers in the U.S. use the Internet at some point during the automotive purchase process.

Cross-Platform Marketing
Now consider what happens to a company’s ability to achieve and use purchase-cycle intimacy when these tailored consumer engagements move from the Internet into home entertainment centers. With personal video recorders (PVRs) like TiVo being built into set-top boxes, assisted sales processes will occur in the lean-back comfort of the family-room sofa. Although PVR penetration today is low — about 280,000 TiVos have been sold in the past two years — Forrester Research Inc. predicts more than half of U.S. households will have interactive TV capability by 2005.

“Interactive kiosks in dealerships — or in alternative sales venues, such as malls — are proving to be excellent tools to begin to engage consumers in dialogue.”
Even with privacy protections in place, the data flowing back to manufacturers and dealers will enable them to tailor follow-up campaigns that effectively bridge the gap between marketing and sales. The ability to develop incentive packages tailored to the way different sets of customers go through the purchase cycle and to get customized packages in front of receptive audiences is vastly preferable to slapping a $2,000 incentive on a vehicle and offering that same package to everybody.

Advanced automotive marketers are already experimenting with cross-platform marketing, using PVRs as the central control device. Toyota helped launch the Lexus ES-300 earlier this year with a TiVo cross-promotion sweepstakes that uploaded commercials into the box; invited sampling of other commercials programmed into NBC network shows; and asked contestants to register for the contest on the Web. Imagine the opportunities when these platforms — television, PVRs, and the Web; entertainment, brand advertising, and interactive direct marketing — converge on a single screen.

PVRs are not the only new communications technology automotive executives must explore. Other technologies are equally important, including peer-to-peer (P2P) and instant messaging (IM). P2P systems such as Napster, LimeWire, and Morpheus are not passing fads, nor is America Online’s instant messaging service. Kids spend hours using these services everyday, kids who are tomorrow’s automotive customers.

Rise of Telematics
Postpurchase, another interactive technology — vehicle-based telematics — can help automotive marketers comprehend the intricacies of the ownership experience. Telematics are the wireless devices that seamlessly capture and communicate vehicle data, enabling the automotive marketer to understand the driver’s usage requirements, influence downstream services, and facilitate remarketing. Telematics, whose use is growing, allow vehicle relationship management to buttress customer relationship management.

“Telematics applications like GM’s OnStar system return vehicle and customer data to companies, which enable them to shape concierge and maintenance services for individual customers.”
Already, the OnStar system and “black box” programs innovated by companies like GM and Peugeot are returning vehicle and customer data to companies, which enable them, in turn, to shape concierge services and maintenance programs for individual customers. A Booz Allen Hamilton analysis projects telematics revenues of $20 billion to $40 billion within the next 10 years.

Adapting to telematics will not be easy for automakers. There is the ongoing difficulty of shifting from marketing that is built on the concept of mass advertising to marketing that is premised on intimate customer understanding. Auto companies also need to overcome their historical “slow follower” habits relative to technology. And the strategic plays around telematics can be complex, requiring both defensive postures, to protect existing business territory, and offensive maneuvering, to create value beyond the existing business.

The greatest challenge for the manufacturers and the dealers is to partner around this intimate customer information, so that the data can flow seamlessly up and down the chain. Only through such partnerships will the average salesperson be able to craft plans relevant to consumers walking into the dealership, offering each potential buyer excitement shaped by the right value proposition.

That, indeed, is the essence of embraceable CRM — for companies to offer value to individual customers, and to receive leveragable value in return.

The Wet Brush, the brush that changed my life!

The Wet Brush. It’s here, and it’s going to save your hair!

I have to start out by saying I was a skeptic. I had seen some YouTube beauty gurus talk about this brush, but I don’t trust many of those gals because I KNOW they are usually being sent product for free or are being paid to talk about stuff on their channels.

I was a skeptic because I have a long history of disappointment with hair products claiming the world and not living up to my expectations. I have LONG, blonde, thick, dry, color treated, tangled hair and it is always an ordeal to brush it out after a good washing. That being said, I finally tried out The Wet Brush and it CHANGED MY LIFE!

2014-03-10 15.04.57

I received The Wet Brush in my October PopSugar Must Have Box and didn’t pay much attention to it. Truthfully, the brush had stayed nestled in its original plastic packaging until my boyfriend and I happened upon it while cleaning out my spare bedroom a while back.

He said, “Hey, isn’t that the brush you got in your box?” and picked it up off the dresser. I told him it was and that I hadn’t tried it yet, but my hair was wet at the time so he suggested we try it out.  Let’s be honest here, when I say ‘suggested,’ that’s more of a loose interpretation of what really happened which was more like him grabbing the brush, ripping it out of the packaging and savagely attacking my wet head. LOL!

2014-02-18 23.13.11

(Yup, that’s my head. Long, damaged, bleached hair. My hair is extremely thick, coarse and brittle, making it a nightmare to brush while wet.)

I never let anyone brush my hair for me, but I figured since The Wet Brush makes such hefty claims, I figured I would try it out to its full potential and let him attempt to brush out my wet, tangled locks. At the first pass through, I was astounded. There was no pulling, no ripping and no pain! He continued to run the brush through my hair and the tangles were no match for the magical bristles of The Wet Brush.

2014-02-18 23.24.26

(This is with a few strokes of The Wet Brush, my tangled mane was tamed!)

Needless to say, I was floored. This seemingly innocent little brush packed enough gentle strength to coax out the most stubborn snags painlessly. The Wet Brush is AWESOME and I suggest it enough!

Here’s the specs for The Wet Brush according to their website:

“The Wet Brush, The Best Detangling Brush EVER!”

“• Super soft IntelliFlex™ bristles.
• Detangle hair with ease.
• Works great on wet or dry hair.
• Perfect for men, women & kids.
• For thick, curly or straight hair.
• Great for hair extensions & wigs.”

This product is available online at their website and also in store at some salons, though I have yet to find this product in a shop around me. On their website a standard Wet Brush will set you back $14 and the Pro Paddle Brush I’m after costs $16. The site boasts a variety of styling tools and additional brushes to try including The Squirts (for little hands), The Hot Brush (for heat styling) and they even have specialty brushes for your pooch called The Love Brush! So cute! 🙂

2014-02-18 23.27.27

I think you all knew from the title, but The Wet Brush is a huge STRUT in my book. I love my standard brush and even plan to purchase the larger Pro Paddle Brush in the future.

As always, thank you all for spending some time reading my rambles and I hope you’re having an amazing day!

Loft Sails: brand new logo

Loft Sails has revamped the image of the company with a completely new marketing restyle. The new look of windsurfing brand will be featured in the 2012 collection of the entire sail lines.

The recycled logo, "The Turbine", has a clear design inspiration in the modern windmills that surround Tarifa, where Loft Sails was born and has its design and testing base.

Colours are used to outline the “L” and “S”, Loft Sails. Loft Sails was founded in 1998 by Monty Spindler after designing for Neil Pryde, North Sails and finally A.R.T where his designs achieved many speed records.

With its Philosophy of maximizing the wind range while minimizing the number of sail lines presented to the market, Loft Sails designs began winning international magazine tests since the very beginning, excelling in construction, durability and performance. Then, titles started coming with national championships (France, Spain) and International events, such as ISA Speed.

In 2012 Loft Sails is experiencing its best season ever, not only in PWA, where Ben Van Der Steen secured for the first time ever a podium position, and the rest of the team has had his best ever performances, but also in GPS speed events where most of our riders have improved their personal best performances.

    Cruisin Sloth Special & Slow

    A Guy walks into a bar with an octopus. He sits the octopus on a stool and announces that this is a very talented octopus, which can play any musical instrument in the world.
    Everyone laughs at the man, calling him an idiot. So he says that he'll wager £50 to anyone who has an instrument that the octopus can’t play.
    A guy walks up with a guitar and puts it beside the octopus. Immediately the octopus picks up the guitar and starts playing better than Eric Clapton. The guitar man pays up his £50.
    Another guy comes up with a trumpet. This time the octopus plays like Miles Davis.
    This guy pays his £50.
    Then a Scotsman hands over a set of bagpipes. The octopus fumbles with it for a minute and then sits down with a confused look.
    "Ha," the Scot says. "Can ye no play it?" The Octopus looks at him and says: "Play it? I’m going to make love to it as soon as I figure out how to get these pyjamas off..."

Child protection Swiss to vote on paedophile work ban

The initiative was launched because politicians were considered too passive on the issue

The initiative was launched because politicians were considered too passive on the issue

Probably the most emotive issue to come before the electorate in a vote on May 18 is an initiative to ban convicted paedophiles from working with children for life, the culmination of a ten year campaign sparked by a controversy in the town of Biel.

The initiative has mainly been backed by the rightwing Swiss People’s Party and the centrist Christian Democrats. In the wake of heated debates in parliament last year, opposition was quiet as no party wished to be seen to be championing the cause of paedophiles.

However in mid-March Andrea Caroni of the Liberals decided to step into the breach and put together a cross-party committee opposing the initiative from amongst his colleagues in the House of Representatives.

The initiative, brought by the Marche Blanche (White March) group of concerned parents, would amend the Swiss constitution to ensure that “persons who are convicted because they have affected the sexual integrity of a child or a dependent person permanently lose the right to pursue a professional or volunteer activity with minors or dependents”.

The initiative needs a majority of the popular vote as well as the backing of a majority of cantons to win enough support to become law.

Critics of the amendment say its wording is too strict and disproportionate and that a revision to the penal code, passed by parliament in November and due to come into force next year, adequately deals with the protection issue.

Serial abuser in court

Tragic stories of child sexual abuse are never far from the headlines and the trial of Switzerland’s biggest and most notorious serial abuse case to date began on March 17.

The 57-year-old accused man admitted abusing more than 100 children and adults with physical and mental disabilities over 29 years until the abuse came to light four years ago.

Evidence against the man, who was employed as a care worker in eightSwiss residential homes for the mentally disabled, includes photos and hours of video in which he recorded the abuse.

33 counts of abuse of mentally and physically disabled children and adults were before the court. The remainder of the cases (91 further victims) passed the statute of limitations for prosecution before the change to the law in 2008.

On March 21, he was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

New sanctions

In the three years since campaigners handed in the signatures for the initiative, despite numerous debates, the two houses of parliament failed to reach a joint recommendation for voters, for or against the initiative, as is the norm.

Previous attempts to tighten sanctions against paedophiles in parliament had come to nothing, until last November when parliament, faced with the imminent nationwide vote, revisited the work-ban issue and adopted new sanctions against convicted paedophiles.

The sanctions, differentiated based on the gravity of the offences and also applicable for non-sexual violence against children, include a ten-year ban on working with children which can be renewed by five years or extended to a life ban under certain circumstances.

Judges will also have the power to forbid abusers from contacting victims and to declare certain public places off-limits to convicted paedophiles.

The cabinet, satisfied with this legal solution, has recommended voters reject the initiative on the grounds that it is imprecise, incomplete and contravenes the principles of Swiss and international law.

But the initiative campaigners do not want to leave work bans at the discretion of judges, pointing to the legal system’s poor track record of protecting children, the 2004 case in Biel being just one blatant example.

Child protection

Five key national child and youth organisations have come out against the paedophile work-ban initiative, on the grounds that it is inadequate and unconstitutional.

In a joint statement issued on April 8, the Swiss Association of Youth Groups (SAJV), Jungwacht Blauring (Catholic scouting and girl guides organisation), Pfadibewegung Schweiz (non-denominational scouting a girl guides organisation), SATUS Schweiz (umbrella organisation for Swiss gymnastics and sports clubs) and the Swiss Foundation for Child Protection, expressed their support for the alternative child protection measures accepted by parliament in December 2013, pointing out that the work ban provided for in the new legislation extends to voluntary activities.

The government announced on April 9 that these measures will come into force from January 2015.

“The initiative creates the impression that the introduction of an automatic [work-ban] sanction will lead to complete protection from sex offenders. But that is only a superficial security: first offenders will not be affected and it is a tragic reality that only 5% of crimes result in a conviction,” the statement read.

The organisations call for urgent investment in prevention work and protection measures as the most effective way to avoid sexual and violent assaults on children.

end of infobox

“Best” candidate

The case involved a teacher who had been convicted of child sexual abuse. After completing his sentence, he successfully applied for a new teaching job in the town working with children aged around 13.

When word got out, Marche Blanche organised a protest march and a petition calling for the man’s dismissal. But the school board defended its decision, arguing that he had been the “best” candidate for the job.

The cause was then taken up by two politicians but failed to gain any traction in parliament. After waiting for the two unsuccessful parliamentary initiatives to run their course, Marche Blanche decided to take the issue to the people, finally handing in the required signatures in April 2011 to force a nationwide vote.

Marche Blanche has convinced voters on child-protection issues before, most recently in 2008 when 52% of the electorate accepted a proposed constitutional amendment to remove the statute of limitations for sexual or pornographic acts committed against children under 12. Before then, victims had until the age of 25 to take legal action.

One in four

In 2012, 1,203 people were charged with sexual activities involving children in Switzerland, according to the Federal Statistics Office. The unreported incidence of child abuse is estimated to be much higher.

It is estimated that up to one in four women and one in ten men in Switzerland have experienced sexual abuse in their childhood.

This includes one-off incidents and non-contact offences, such as exhibitionism.

Two thirds of victims are girls, one third boys.

The age group most affected is from seven to 12.

Some children experience this form of violence just once, others suffer repeated abuse, sometimes over years.

(Source: Swiss Child Protection Association)

end of infobox

Natalie Rickli, Swiss People’s Party parliamentarian and member of the initiative’s committee defended the initiative tooth and nail in parliament.

“It is actually sad that voters have to take it upon themselves to launch such initiatives because politicians fail to take action. Especially when safety is one of the most important tasks of the state,” she said.

“We have to protect society and particularly children or dependent persons from repeat offenders. That is exactly what this initiative is about. When a paedophile is convicted , he should no longer be allowed to work with children or dependent persons, professionally or in his free time,” she added.

In the same debate, Isabelle Chevalley of the centrist Liberal Greens agreed with the principle that people convicted of serious paedophile crimes should not be allowed to work with children, but argued that the wording of the initiative was too narrow.

“There are loopholes in the people’s initiative submitted to us. You have to realise that the vast majority of cases of sexual abuse of children take place within the family circle. And in those cases the initiative could, unfortunately, change nothing. A broader legal text would be needed to truly protect the majority of abused children.”

Chevalley also made the point, mentioned by cabinet in its commentary on the initiative, that because the initiative provided for the ban to be imposed automatically, without discretion, cases of young couples on either side of the age of consent (16) risked falling under the terms of the work ban.

Christine Bussat, founder of Marche Blanche, dismisses this claim, arguing that these sorts of ‘boyfriend-girlfriend’ cases do not come to court in Switzerland. Under the Swiss criminal code an exception to the definition of statutory rape is made when the age difference is less than three years.

Monika Egli-Alge of the Forensic Institute Eastern Switzerland (Forio), a psychologist who provides therapy for paedophiles and risk analysis reports for the courts, believes an automatic work ban is a step in the wrong direction.

“In my opinion it is important that we do everything to protect children from any kind of sexual abuse. In the area of paedophilia we need to create services, to make sure that those who want help receive help, or are thoroughly examined when they are a danger to society,” she told

“Those who present a danger to children can already be adequately dealt with within the framework of the existing law. The sanctions are there but we have to impose them. That requires bold decisions and moral courage on the part of the courts and authorities.”

Migration, education and assessment Swiss aid agency sets out its priorities

The SDC gives aid in times of crisis, here a delivery of humanitarian aid set for Nepal, after an earthquake there in 2015

The Swiss Agency for Cooperation and Development (SDC) will focus its work over the next four years on education, fragile regions, and migration, but its director has played down expectations that development aid can stem the tide of migrants coming to Europe.

Parliament adopted a dispatchexternal link on International Cooperation 2017-2020 during its autumn session last year, which the SDC is now implementingexternal link, SDC director general Manuel Sager said at a press conference in Bern on Friday.

In terms of migration, parliament had called for development aid to be more closely linked to migration policy.

There have been some expectations among some politicians that the SDC’s activities could help reduce the number of migrants.

Cited on Swiss public television RTSexternal link, Sager said that this type of aid does not solve all the problems. “International cooperation has certainly some effect but it can’t, nor will it, stop migration. Migration has always taken place, but we work on the causes of forced migration.”

He added that an engagement in fragile countries - such as the Middle East, North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa -and extra funds for education should help curb high migration.

The education strategy encompasses basic education and vocational training and the funds for this will be increased by 50% (CHF210 million -$210 million) for 2017-2020, the SDC said.

Measuring the SDC’s own effectiveness will become increasingly important during the new dispatch period, stressed Sager.

The SDC has been faced with a more than CHF2 billion cut to its budget for 2017 and with that, a demand from parliament to check how efficient its programmes are.  Sager said that he could understand that there needed to be a certain accountability, but that the SDC was subject to very extensive evaluations.

External experts assess more than 100 projects every year.

The aim of effectiveness measurements, said Chantal Nicod, head of the SDC’s West Africa Division, in a statement, is to draw conclusions from the results and where necessary to adapt projects or programmes. The topic is of central importance for the SDC because it aims to ensure the optimal use of taxpayers' money. and agencies/ilj

text: As humans are social beings, who need to be interacting together in a constant fashion, there are several things that you would have to do to make sure that they attain the very best feelings in the minds of the others. As an example, to show off their social standing before others in a simple and yet elegant manner, one may choose to make use of the high end jewelry that comes in various forms, shapes, and sizes to be worn together with all the beautiful wardrobe that they would have chosen. When the trendy components go along with the theme of the dressing and the event so smoothly, the appeal levels for the individual could soar and this would lead to best results concerning handling the perceptions of them. The existence of the birthstone bracelets would not just enrich the aesthetics of their users, but also increase their self-confidence levels from the fashion, wherein they could carry themselves confidently in front of others anytime and anywhere. Since the names of those individuals are so important for them, it’s normal for them to become very connected to the initial jewelry items that would come in the very best of designs and boost their personal aesthetics to a wonderful extent. These are thought of as so personalized for its users and therefore, have a massive positive impact on them in their lives too. There are numerous simple things that you would need to consider before picking up the luxury jewelry items which would enhance the way they can convey the first alphabet of their names. It’s easy for the designers to ensure that they’re able to attain greater satisfaction with the simple diamond necklace that comes with lovely designs to be worn with everybody, who has a watch for their socioeconomic standing.

    He used to play with David Lee Roth on the Skyscraper tour. He was Billy Shehans replacement. He was just riding out roots when I saw him, will probably do pretty much the same with Satriani, most of Satch's work that Ive heard tends to have basslines that do that.

    However If memory serves me correctly, he is also a jazzer and has been composing jazz type or show type tunes, might have even been session work. (His own project I think) It was in a Bass Player article on him. So Id imagine that he's much better than what I heard on the Roth tour. If you have access to older Bass Player mags Im sure you'll find it. I dont remember the issue that it was in, but I do know it was in BP.

Minwax Wax Paste?

Discussion in 'Luthier's Corner' started by Wolak, Mar 26, 2005.

  1. Is this stuff any good? I was told to use Watco Satin Wax over danish oil, but it's hard to find without ordering. The price of shipping is the same as the cost of the product. Lowe's carries the minwax paste. Any opinions, tips or suggestions?
  2. Tdog

    May 18, 2004
    I've used MinWax Paste Wax for years on my sculpture and furniture over Watco and other Danish oils. It is a great hard wax......easy application and easy buff out. However, it is not a durable finish........ most waxes tend not to be. I recommend it to all my customers who purchase my work....especially if the item gets handled a lot. It puts the shine back on and cleans the surface a bit also.

    You can spend a lot more on "high-end" waxes and not get much better product.

    The few times that I used the Watco Satin Wax, I was not impressed.

    Here is a photo of some Jarrah Burl candle placements that I made a few years ago. They were given a "bath" of Watco and then buffed out with the MinWax.
  3. Thanks Tdog. Nice work. Any problems with the paste getting into the pores or corners and leaving white specs or lines? I'm pretty sure my bass' pores are filled, but you never know.
  4. The Minwax is what I use over my TruOil finishes after I've given them a buffing with polishing compound. It's the polishing compound that will leave the white residue not the paste wax. Besides, a little warming with a hair dryer and the wax that's built up will soften so you can wipe it away. That's even a way to get a better build - I use a hair dryer to heat my surface slightly, then lay on a coat of wax. Let it dry and repeat. The heat helps build up thicker coats. Then buff out. The results are amazing.
  5. Tdog

    May 18, 2004
    Yeah, the wax can definately build in the inclusions and cracks, (the wax that was left behind in the Jarrah burl was a nightmare to clean out!) but the pores usually clean out with a good buffing. Go lightly and you should avoid most of the build up. I use the same small waxing rag which is always in the can....after a while the rag becomes so impregnated with wax, you just give it a quick rub and no more wax than necessary is applied to the surface.

    BTW....What kind of wood is your bass made of?......If you cant see the wax in the pores, I wouldn't worry.....Take care.

    I have a tung oiled Warmoth which I waxed with the plain minwax paste finishing wax. Great way to finish it off, but the mahogany does have some white in the pores that shows if the light is just right. Looks ok but I kinda wish I had used the dark. I may try the hairdryer trick and go back over it with the dark wax.

Omtale Hindsight
Although the idea of hindsight is frequently associated with the biases, distortions, and outright lies of memory-as in the infamous "20-20" scenario or the conviction that one "knew it all along"-Mark Freeman maintains that this process of looking backward over the terrain of the past can also serve as a profound source of insight, understanding, and self-knowledge. Consider Tolstoy's harrowing tale of Ivan Ilych, revisiting his past on the eve of his death, only to realize that the life he had been living was a lie. Consider as well the many times in our own lives when, upon reviewing the past, we are able to see what we could not, or would not, see earlier on. Hindsight is also intimately connected to what Freeman calls narrative reflection: Through the distance conferred by time, we can look back on past experiences and see them anew, as episodes in an evolving story. As important as "being in the now" and "living in the moment" are, it is no less important to pause at times and, by looking backward, seek to discern those aspects of experience that might otherwise escape our notice.
Far from necessarily leading to deception and lies, therefore, hindsight can lead to wisdom and indeed truth-of a sort, Freeman contends, is only available in retrospect. In addition to serving as a central site of self-knowledge, hindsight plays an integral role in the process of moral growth. For, through hindsight, there emerges the opportunity not only to see the possible errors of our ways but to transcend them and thereby to move on to better ways of being in the world. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, literature, and personal experience, this wide-ranging volume offers an insightful and engaging exploration of the role of hindsight both in discerning the personal past and in deepening moral life.

HTC M7 First Press Shot Image Leaked

HTC is going to launch a new phone names M7 aka HTC One on 19 February, just before MWC. This phone is already in news and a hot topic around the web. Till now there is no clear image available of this phone. But now first press image has been leaked by very reliable source @eveleaks on his twitter account. He claims that this is the first ever clear press image of the phone. From the front image phone looks quite similar to HTC Butterfly and we hope this phone too get 1080p screen resolution. The biggest change we can notice in this phone is that instead of having HTC logo at the top they had moved it to the bottom-center and moved home button to the right. This phone might comes with HTC Sense 5 and might be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor.

Apple could become rich target for hacktivists

The AntiSec hacking group gained access and published user names and passwords for an Apple server this week. How will Apple lock down rich targets like iTunes and iCloud?

While many of us were eating hot dogs and shooting off fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend (in the U.S., that is), security crackers of the "hacktivist" variety — possibly including members of Anonymous and the supposedly defunct LulzSec — were busy making forays into Apple security. As Larry Dignan reported for CNET News, a document released by the AntiSec "group" published user names and passwords for an Apple server.

While this list was relatively benign, it could be the first shot over the bow, signaling future interest in Apple's juicy iTunes and iCloud databases:

Hackers apparently are too "busy elsewhere" to mess with Apple, but that doesn't mean the company is bulletproof. One trigger—something that may annoy hackers—could set off a larger attack.

What could Apple do to set off a war with hacktivists? It's anyone's guess. Chad Perrin's post this week, "How do you protect yourself from hacktivist groups?" considers that question from the standpoint of organizations that become targets based on their perceived behavior by hacktivist groups.

How confident are you that Apple will remain impervious to security-cracking threats from these hacking groups?

    'Disable or uninstall any anti-viros, disk defragmentation, or backup utlities. Check your hard drive configuration, and chek for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.'

    The problem is, I can't even start windows to do any of that.
