Stretching exercise for arms, back, hip and legs

Before doing any workouts, do some warm up exercises for muscle that you are going to train. If you are going to do quads, ride bicycle for 5-10 min. It enables the legs muscles with active blood supply which helps in effective pumping of muscles and to do more reps! Similarly for arms, shoulders, back, chest also!

If you any muscle ache or strain during workouts, it may be due to repetitive compression of muscles. To  avoid and relieve pain you have to stretch those muscle for relaxation.

To Stretch arms muscles,

Biceps Stretch - hold any pillar or wall with your palm and keep your entire arm parallel to the wall, gently turn your body against the wall by turning your shoulder muscles. You can also see the effect of it on your biceps muscles. It relaxes the biceps muscles. Now, repeat it with other arm too!

Triceps stretch - Keep your right hand above your head and bend the forearm. Now using your left hand, hold the elbow of right hand and gently push the elbow of right hand. This stretches the triceps muscles. Now, do it reverse.

Wrist Stretch - Straight up your arms to your shoulder height. Now bend the four fingers of one hand using your other hand, by gently bending the fingers towards forearms and towards wrist!

Shoulder Stretch - Extend your right hand straight, now holding the biceps of right hand using your left hand, and gently push the right hand towards your chest! Now do the same for your left hand using your right hand!

To stretch back muscles,

Dog Pose - a yogasanas pose, Stand and bend, bringing your  head and hands down and place your palm in ground, keep the distance between your hands and legs wide enough to stretch the back muscles!

Child Pose - Keep your feet together, lean forward and place your hands on ground, and sit backward on your heels and head to touch the knees!

Forward Bend pose - Stand straight, bend forward and hold your legs using your hands!

Backward bend pose - Stand straight, keep your hand in butt and bend backward as much as you can! Do Forward and backward bend alternatively to flex and stretch your back muscles!

To Stretch hip muscles,

Hip rotation - Stand keeping your feet wide than shoulders, Keep your hand on hip and rotate your hips in a circular way!

Hip flexor stretch - Sit like an athlete going to run, keeping one knee at 90 degree to ground, and other knee lie down on ground.  Now do it vice versa!

Lying leg raise - lie down on your right, use your hands as pillows, now raise one leg and other leg on ground. Repeat the same for other leg by turning your body on other side!

Leg raise - an abdomen workout, lying on ground with your back and raising both legs together at 90 degree to ground and bringing back slowly!

To Stretch leg muscle,

Standing hamstring stretch - Stand straight, step your right leg and straight it incline and stretch it using your hands pressing on thigh together! Repeat the same for left leg too!

Lying Quadricep Stretch - lie down on your right, bend your left leg and touch the ankle using your left hand! Repeat the same for right leg too!

Calf Stretch - Stand with your feets at shoulder width apart in front of a wall, keep your hands on the wall. Keep one leg forward and other leg stretched incline. Now push your body towards wall to feel pressure on your calf!

Thigh Stretch - Stand with your feets close, now bend your right leg and hold the ankle using your right hand! Repeat the same for left leg too!

Seated forward bend - Sit with your legs lie on ground straight and  close together, now hold the ankle of both legs using your hands.

No emergency exit

Okay. I’m going through a couple of days of a mini manic episode so my mind is all over the place. I’ll try to write this so I can get it off my head.

I’ve always dreamed of the idea of moving to a different country, living in a place where no one knows who I am, away from my family, a fresh start. I don’t mean like “disappear without telling anyone”, but just moving.

My goal was always to go to a country in the same continent. However, a year ago I came across a different country I had never contemplated before. It’s in the opposite side of the planet, a completely different culture. Sure, it has good things as well as bad things, but at least they’re new. It would be the ultimate “fresh start”.

It’s not like I had a plan, I didn’t even admit it to myself, but just having that thought in the back of my mind brought me so much peace. A new hope for my future, like I’d never had before.

Last week I decided that maybe I should actually look into it, and started reading about it. Then I came across a video of a girl explaining how she had just gotten her visa, and my hurt sank. It’s not like I thought getting a visa took 5 minutes, but I just had the realization that this is for neurotypicals only. Having a stable and important job, a degree, a career, a good relationship with your family, a good reason to move to that country. I will never have those things that you need to have in order to get a visa.

This is a neurotypical world built for neurotypicals only.

This is one part of the whole thing. The other thing that really triggered me is sexism.

Both mine and that culture are sexist, just like any other culture in this planet. That’s obvious.

However, sexism manifest itself differently in every case. And although that culture is much more conservative, and I’m sure sexism is well integrated into that, there are also some other things there that don’t exist here. Like men respecting and treating women nicely, or finding a girl beautiful regardless of her tits size, or boys talking about how they genuinely want to get married and have kids when they’re a couple of years older.

I had never seen that before. Ever, in my life.

And considering how fucking traumatized I am, and how hard it is for me to just be around men, the idea of living in a place where men are less scary sounded like a fucking dream.

Guess is not going to happen though.

My story

Trigger warning: child sex abuse, incest, abuse.

I was born two decades ago. My whole life I suffered from emotional abuse from my family, and was sexually abused by one? of them when I was possibly a toddler. They also brainwashed me with a sort of “religion” that they created.

I had no support, from anyone.

I first wanted to kill myself at 13, and during my teenage years that was all I could think about. Some of my symptoms where extreme maladaptive daydreaming, hallucinations, and being completely disconnected from my identity (years later I discovered it was OSDD-1).

I hit rock bottom right after finishing high school. I was delusional, convinced that the world was going to end (by my religious family member), and ready to die.

I had been so hurt by my abusers, to the point that I could not longer pretend that didn’t happen, but I didn’t know how to feel anger. I had never been allowed to feel it, so I had no idea how to express it.

With time, I was able to do it. I was feeling angry for the first time in my life. I was venting, and complaining, and validating my emotions (not in front of my abusers, obviously). That’s when I decided I wanted to live, but I would do it for me, not because I had to” or because that’s what my abusers wanted.

So that’s when I started recovering. And when I say “recovering”, I mean doing that completely on my own. My abusers had convinced me that therapy/psychology/just the world in general was bullshit, so I didn’t seek out professional help. But I started reading about mental health, journaling, analyzing my thoughts, etc.

It actually worked. I started recovering. Of course, it wasn’t a simple process. The period where I started college was also extremely hard, I had to drop out eventually, and my abusers where as cruel as always. But with time, my mind got a little better.

It actually got so much better, to the point where I didn’t hate myself or the world anymore. But I still was depressed. “What’s the problem, then?” I thought. That’s when I realized: it was my family. That’s what pushed me to be mentally ill in the first place. That’s what’s keeping me from being happy today.

I had a really hard time remembering my past, so I started reading my diaries from when I was younger. I started to remember, and puzzling everything together.

That was a year ago. Being able to see the fact that you’ve been abused is not something easy, every abuse survivor knows that. Specially when you’ve been as brainwashed as I was. I was going back and forth, seeing the abuse, and then denying it completely and wanting to kill myself for being so “stupid and crazy”.

With time, the doubts went away and I began to fully accept it. It was very painful, and I felt completely alone (which I was, and still am). But I guess I got over it pretty quickly. At the end of the day, I’ve never really had a relationship with my “family”, so seeing them as strangers wasn’t hard.

It was also a good thing, in a sad way: for the first time, my life made sense. For the first time, I could understand why I wanted to die, why I saw myself and the world the way I did.

But it wasn’t over. I had a period where I would get triggered very time I masturbated. It wasn’t the first time, but it had never been that often. A couple of weeks went by, and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. Why was that happening?

I started wondering if something could have happened. If I had been abused not only emotionally, but also in other ways.

Memories came up, flashbacks came up, and I realized I’ve had symptoms of sex all my life. Things still aren’t clear, but I know something happened. For now, that’s enough. Digging into it provokes a HUGE fear in me, like I’ve never felt before in my life. I don’t have the support or resources to process it right now.

Which brings me to the other thing. During this time, I tried getting professional help. It was a disaster. All three therapists that saw me couldn’t understand why I was struggling (I am NOT joking). They would treat me like I was stupid, and just being dramatic, and refused to acknowledge as true anything I would bring up. Things as basic as my mom being absolutely insane, or me having panic attacks.

When I brought up the fact that I thought I might have been sexually abused because I was having flashbacks, one of them told me “Don’t you think that if you had been raped you would remember?”

She said that. She fucking said that.

Any professional in this planet should know that is not only possible, but absolutely common for people to remember their abuse years after it’s happened. But she fucking said that.

That was the last time I tried getting professional help.

And I just kept going. On my own, trying to recover, trying to accept what happened. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m trying.

Now, the focus of my life is on my work. Even though I still struggle a lot, I have to make money since I’m already in my twenties. Of course, my abusers refuse to acknowledge anything they’ve ever done, or even the fact that I’m mentally ill. Hell, they see me as an abuser, because I’m a “spoiled monster” who “uses them”. The truth is that I can barely function. But I’m trying, since I have no other choice, or I’ll probably end up in the street or dead.

Even when I feel a little bit better, my ADHD makes my life hard. Getting treatment for it is super hard where I live, so yay. Not only my family failed me, but also the whole fucking health system.

That’s where I’m at right now. Trying to work, trying to reach out to people. And telling my story. That way, if I die, at least the world will know that it was my abusers’ fault.

Writing this was so draining I don’t have the energy to proofread it, I apologize for the mistakes I’m sure it has.

Essential news for marketers, summarised by YouGov

People are putting themselves at increased risk by not playing safe with their personal data.

This piece cites a Kaspersky report stating that more than 56% of 12,000 consumers studied across 21 countries think total privacy is impossible in the “modern digital world”. The report also says that one in three users are not sure of how to secure their privacy online.

The survey also reveals that one in five users are willing to share private data in exchange for freebies.  The report suggests that combining practical steps, like not sharing passwords and denying third parties access to data, with security products, can help minimise threats.

According to another research by Insights West conducted in Canada, more than 81% of Canadians are worried about news and information are shown to them on social media. 65% of them also reported being concerned about targeted and behaviour-based advertising.

Both social media platforms will age-gate or remove posts if a certain number of users report them.

Social Media behemoth Facebook said it would age-gate content that sells dietary products and cosmetic surgery, and make them invisible to anyone below 18 years of age. It will also remove posts that make “miraculous claims” about diet products with links or discount codes.

Facebook-owned Instagram, where models frequently promote body ideals, will follow the same policies. However, the guidelines are not clearly defined yet, and brands can still have a strong presence if they choose their words carefully.

A Facebook spokesperson said that they would remove content “if it breaks our Community Guidelines, once reported to us by the community”. The California-based company is also taking steps to remove harmful physical and mental health information from its platform.

Don’t Let Negativity Get In the Way Of The Roads

I have driven almost 1,000 miles in the past week, and it feels good.

Sure, I’ve had to fill my car’s gas tank several times, but who cares?

The price of a gallon of that sweet go-juice is flirting with a mere $2. I can handle that.

For a while, the cost of gasoline had truly curbed my normal driving habits.

I either walked or rode a bicycle when ever I had the opportunity, and it made me feel good, both physically and emotional.

A strange euphoria seemed to overcome when I thought about how “green,” or environmentally friendly, I was being.

I started to understand what all the hippie environmentalists were talking about.

After all, I had tried going the way of a hippie previously.

In 2007, I decided I was going to stop eating meat and be a vegetarian.

I gave it all I had. In fact, I even hugged a tree during this phase of experimentation I went through during my college years.

However, it soon came to an end.

After about two weeks without really food in my stomach, I gave up those silly hippie ideals and went to wonderfully grease foods and raw, red meats.

I was much happier, but I apparently didn’t learn my lesson.

If I had, I would have realized this “green” way I was living was also only a phase, which is why as soon as my debit card stopped whining about the amount money it was paying at the pump, I started driving without worry.

I’m not a tree-hugging hippie.

Some people are, and that is fine I guess.

It’s most assuredly not for me, though.

I enjoyed flying down the interstate going over 70 mile-per-hour, even though I knew my car, as well as my fellow travelers’ vehicles, was spewing out toxic pollutants as if they were candy and we were driving in a parade.

I wasn’t worried about global warming or the polar ice caps melting.

I’m sure Al Gore wouldn’t be happy with me, but that’s OK. I can deal with a former almost-president looking down his nose at me.

Because I live in Kansas, America.

We have lots of trees here, and we aren’t in near the kind of jeopardy that over populated areas of the world are in. We have open space, and lots of it.

I should know. I saw a lot of it during my weekend driving spree.

So why did I do so much environment-harming driving?

I went to Kansas City, Mo., for a journalism conference.

It was very enlightening, and as a true nerd, I love those conferences because I always come away with more knowledge.

I like to learn.

The most important thing I took away from the weekend with fellow journalists was how important the online presence of the news organization is.

Now, I always new it was a big deal, and I dedicated the better part of my college career to pursuing such ventures, but I didn’t realize how online advertising revenues were increasing.

With so much doom and gloom about the newspaper industry being a fiscal tailspin, it was nice to see a beacon of light in the keynote speaker.

His name was Mark Glasner, and he runs the technology blog on the PBS Web site, which is called MediaShift.

He pointed out that the amount of money being spent in online advertising is up billons of dollars from previous years.

Granted, that doesn’t mean all that money is being spent on newspaper Web sites, but it does mean the industry isn’t dying.

It saddens me when I talk to friends of mine who are working to complete their college degrees and yet think the world of journalism is endangered.

Such falsehoods infuriate me.

Too many dinosaurs of the journalism industry, who are simply used to different profit margins, are squawking about the death of the newspaper.

Well, that is false.

If it weren’t, conferences such as the one in Kansas City, Mo., wouldn’t be held.
Journalism schools would be closing their doors, and people like me wouldn’t have a job.

It is preposterous to think the act of disseminating news is going to die.

Granted, the method the news is disseminated may change, but that doesn’t equal the extinction of the Fourth Estate.

I will go into great detail about my stance on why this industry is not only surviving, but thriving very soon here at Stay tuned.

Besides, the proof is all around us.

This publication and countless others continue to produce content, and younger generations of journalists are being raised right now.

On Oct. 30 I attended the awards ceremony for the Kansas Scholastic Press Corps, which was an event for high school journalists who produced a newsletter or video package about the 2008 Kansas State Fair.

One school participated every day, and each team of journalists had to create its product within the time constraints of one day.

I was the mentor for Buhler High School, and my alma mater Canton-Galva High School also participated.

Buhler didn’t place with their newsletter, but Canton-Galva took second.

Buhler had very intricate and creative design, while the winning team and Canton-Galva both took a more traditional approach to the topic and created something that looked like a news paper.

No one knew what to expect going into the competition because this was the inaugural year, but it seems the judges were looking for something with more substance than style.

It is a lesson learned, and I’m sure Buhler will come back strong next year.

Granted, I was happy to see Canton-Galva do well, but I was also proud of Buhler.

They didn’t let anything stop them from producing the type of newsletter they wanted.

The same goes for journalism as a whole.

Just because a few people with loud voices are declaring the end of the industry doesn’t mean it is true.

The high gas prices and the possible environmental implications are in the same boat.

There still isn’t absolutely conclusive evidence about the direction of the environment and what can be done to ensure its long life.

I’m going to keep driving, and with these prices, at least my bank account can handle it.

Tom’s Fitness and Paris Martial Arts

Posted: July 23, 2010

Well, with Biggest Loser ending last week, I don’t have anyone to talk about, so I guess I’m going to have to talk about myself—at least this time. I hope something interesting will happen next week so you won’t have to put up with this too often!

Lately, I’ve been messing around with a little cross-training with a ¾ mile trail run and a 2 ½ mile bike loop. It takes me about 18:30 to do one trail run and one bike loop. So far, the most loops I’ve done in a row have been four, which took just under 75 minutes last Sunday afternoon. It was a nice workout. I was able to keep moving the whole time.

The trail loop has a bunch of small hills that gas you pretty quickly, and I do the bike loop on my mountain bike to get a little extra resistance. It’s heavier than my road bike, and has those big old tires, so it’s more of a workout, which is just fine on these short rides.

If I don’t have a lot of time, I’ll just run four laps, which is 3 miles. It’s nice because it’s softer than the road, and it has those hills to add a little fun to the run. Yesterday, I just ran and rode 2 circuits—half of what I did last wee—so it takes about half the time.

But when the heat index really gets up there, it’s tough to push myself out the door. Fortunately, I have access to a bunch of treadmills, bikes and ellipticals, so I can always get my cardio workout inside where it’s cool.

It’s not nearly as fun or interesting though. In fact, I pretty much hate running inside. The only time I don’t mind it is in the winter, when I hate running outside. Then, it’s too cold for me.

Now I know some really serious runners who have the special cold weather gear, but I’ve just never liked going out there. I’m not crazy about shoveling the sidewalk, much less trying to get out there and run a few miles.

So in the winter, you’ll see me on the treadmill. That works for me, especially on Sundays during football. Sometimes, I’ll even run the entire game. It’s interesting enough that I’ll forget about the running—kind of.

But today, it was really hot outside (I know, I’m a whiner), so I surrendered. That’s right. It was so hot, that even me, Mr. Trainer guy didn’t really feel like doing the run outside, so I jumped on the elliptical.

That was O.K. though, because it felt a little different, and used the muscles in a slightly different way, so that makes it kind of interesting. It reminded me of when we first got the center and I just about wore the ellipticals out. That was before I fell in love with running
So now, a little cross-training is just fine. You see, it really doesn’t matter what you do. What matters is that you just do something. It helps if you kind of like doing it. That’s never been a problem for me.

Someone asked me the other day if I just didn’t want to work out. I thought about it for a little bit and had to say “no, not really.” I can’t wait to workout. I think it’s because I was pretty sick as a kid. Back then, they didn’t have much help for serious asthmatics, so I wasn’t allowed to do anything strenuous.

The other kids would be mad that I “got” to sit on the side-lines during gym class, but all I ever wanted to do was get out there with them. Later, I got into martial arts and working out so much that I ended up getting a master’s degree in Exercise Physiology.

I still fought the asthma, though, even as an adult. I’d compete in martial arts events, like sparring and grappling, but I’d always have to hold back a little bit—and even then, I’d probably have an asthma attack. Then I’d have to use my rescue inhaler.

If that wasn’t enough, I had a breathing machine. If that wasn’t enough, I’d have to go to the hospital for a shot of adrenaline and breathing treatments which happened frequently.

I’ve probably used thousands of inhalers. But about seven years ago, they came out with new medicine that blocks the triggers that cause attacks. That was a life changer. Now, I can turn it up as much as I want, and I don’t even need to carry a rescue inhaler. I do take a small breathing machine with me when I’m traveling—just in case—but I very rarely need it.

It’s kind of ironic. Now that I can finally work out as hard as I want, since I’m getting older, my body doesn’t recover quite as well as it used to! So now I can run like the wind, but it hurts like hell later. Go figure.

After a lot of messing around with all kinds of different exercise programs, I’ve kind of realized that I’m happy if I just get to get my workout in. If it’s kind of tough, I like it. If it’s really tough, I love it, but pay for it later. So I just try to keep it kind of tough. That gives me a challenge, keeps it interesting, and helps keep me in shape.

I also get quite a kick out of working with everybody at the gym. There are lots of different people. Some need to lose a lot of weight, some just a little bit. Some want to get in better shape so they can do more things. Others are trying to improve their sports performance.

Right now I’ve got a bunch of sixth and seventh grade basketball players doing my morning workout three days a week. They’re a hoot. First of all, they’re kids, so they can do just about anything. Second, they’re really quite funny, and it’s a nice way to start the day.

What I really like is how they’re kind of like blank slates. It’s nice to know I have the chance to write things on their hearts and minds that could stay with them for a long time, perhaps all their life.

Things like “work hard and it will pay off later.” And “you can always do more than you think you can do.” These are concepts that will help them now in sport, but also help them a lot, later in life!

When I was their age, I couldn’t do what they’re doing. It would have killed me—literally. Now not only can I do it, but I’m teaching others. I’m pretty grateful, and think God must have quite a sense of humor. It’s nice to have a second chance at things.

Last year, I started tracking how many miles I ran, and this year, decided to just lump all my miles together, whether they were running, walking, on the bike, elliptical, or whatever. As long as I did them, they counted.

After the quick 30 minute workout on the elliptical today, I logged nine miles. Well, it said 18 miles, but I know that can’t be true, because these particular machines way overestimate your actual usage, in both calories and miles. So I only take credit for half-miles on it.

Still, 9 miles put me over the top at 1,001 miles for the year, which was my original goal. I was a little miffed because I really wanted to do it running. But that’s O.K. It’s been only a little over half a year and it got me thinking. What about 2,000? Or even, 2010 in 2010. Hmm…

The Bitcoin Psyop

2017, Technology  -   6 Comments
Ratings: 7.42/10 from 45 users.

Do bitcoin and blockchain represent the technological innovations that will forever alter the way we conduct financial transactions, or are they merely a hype-fueled sham? Amidst the cacophony of ongoing arguments between the system's harshest skeptics and most boisterous cheerleaders, it can prove challenging for a layperson to decipher truth from propaganda. The Bitcoin Psyop, a documentary short produced by The Corbett Report, peeks behind the hyperbolic techno-babble to deliver a clear-eyed view of the cryptocurrency revolution.

The most common point of confusion lies in defining what bitcoin and the blockchain actually are. In simplest terms, bitcoin is an innovative payment network that operates without a bank or intermediary. Each transaction is logged on a digital ledger known as the blockchain. This database of transaction is accessible by anyone on the bitcoin network, yet its creators insist this information is secured by military grade encryption technology.

The bitcoin network represents something entirely new, and consumers have every reason to feel disoriented. Certain power figures of finance want to perpetuate that sense of bewilderment. According to the film, they frequently employ interchangeable terms and confusing lingo to keep the system's more ominous potential in the shadows. Just like with most weapons, the blockchain can be used with nefarious intent or as a tool to defend the greater good.

The network can be used to take power from the traditional banking system and place it back in the hands of the people. It can allow for the transfer of valuables and property without having to deal with needlessly intrusive regulations or invisible global borders. But it can also be used to exert greater control over the people and increased oversight of their every purchase, and leave individual users vulnerable to the whims of totalitarian governments.

At this moment in time, bitcoin and blockchain stand at a crucial precipice. If we reach an understanding of the network and all its capabilities, we can begin to combat its potential for misuse. The Bitcoin Psyop provides a terrific primer on a complex topic, and outlines the important role we all can play in making it a beneficial force in the world economy.

    It takes serious computing power to mine, its just more of the rich getting richer.

  2. monky

    Do you think Bitcoin profits are anonymous? Think again. Blockchain is a complete record of your crypto history and is about to be de-anonymised. Blockchain is forever.

  3. Soeren

    Before I start watching, I really dont hope the critics are going to be bankers or other people controlling the finansial system. Because of course these people will dislike it, they will lose money and power with blockchain

    BC... BS potato putato. What do I understand?

  5. voluntaryist

    Would BC users switch to a U.N. or nationally approved digital currency? Yes, because they trust govt. and it would be official (legal) and yet still quick, easy. Probably less than 2%, especially in the 3rd world, use BC to be free from bankers or govt. They use it because it is easier. Now that BC has paved the way for acceptance of cryptocurrency, the authoritarian exploiters will take over.

Life in the tide pool

In between other big projects, like organizing articles for the Fall magazine issue and reviewing layouts for the upcoming Summer issue, I’ve got a little time to work on the book project again. It’s going well, and I think I’ve finally found the right voice for it. I’ll know for sure in a month or two.

We’re also trying to make time to look at houses, which could be a full-time job if we let it. On Monday we reviewed about two dozen online, went into one, and drove by about a dozen more. Still looking…

So with all this work going on we haven’t had a chance to have any adventures the past few days. I’ll flash back to last week in Puerto Penasco. Down by the beach, the low tide reveals tide pools in the volcanic basalt, and these are filled with interesting sea creatures. Petey proposed that Emma collect some sea water, sand, and a few hermit crabs for study. (They’d be released when we leave.)

PP tidepool.jpg

A resealable plastic container was all we needed to make a miniature temporary aquarium for a sampling of tidepool sea life. Emma collected a layer of sand, some rocks, a little seaweed and four tiny hermit crabs, and with those simple elements we had a miniature salt water ecosystem right in our Airstream trailer. Petey, the grandmotherly instigator of this idea, added a few shells for decoration.

Life in the tidepool is more dramatic than you might think. Several of the hermit crabs began to do battle with each other, and before the evening was out we realized the “empty” shells turned out to have more hermit crabs, prompting Emma to suggest thinning the ranks before we had a fatality.

The next morning Emma was delighted to find that the water contained much more than just crabs. Tiny brine shrimp could be seen flitting around in the shallows, and in the corner a tiny white creature that looked like a miniature sea anemone was actively exploring one corner of its world, ingesting and regurgitating samples of sea water and brine shrimp. Suddenly our little plastic dish was an entire world.

PP hermit crabs.jpg

The hermit crabs were transformed from a home natural science project to temporary members of the family during our three days in Mexico. Emma named them all, and it was with great regret that she returned them to the tidepool on Friday.

Emma learned a little about life in the tide pool from this. We could all see the crabs foraging for food, establishing their position in the crab hierarchy, and co-existing with the other living things in the water. Each day the water needed refreshing, which was a good reminder of the needs of pets, too. I plan to point that out when the request comes for a puppy.

If there is an ideal pet for a few days in the Airstream, I will have to vote for hermit crabs again. They are silent, easy to care for, cute, free, hypoallergenic, they require no special equipment, and they have a built-in time limitation (once you leave the beach, they have to go).

Bathroom Design

New Bathroom Designs

It’s simple right? There isn’t much that goes into a bathroom: bathtub/shower, sink/vanity, toilet, perhaps a linen closet. However, given the often confined spaces all of this needs to go into and the importance of ensuring that plumbing, electrical, and ventilation is up to code and installed correctly, the smartest decision you can make is relying on an expert to do it right. T.R. Builders will ensure that everything that goes inside your bath’s walls is installed professionally and meets or exceeds required code. We will also provide expert bathroom design advice so that whether you are soaking in your tub or sitting on your throne, you will do so in a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere.

Bathroom Updates

Though they are generally one of the smallest rooms in your home, bathrooms are one of the most expensive rooms to renovate and generally need updating around every twenty years. T.R. Builders can provide a bathroom design and renovation that both fits your budget and lifestyle and keeps your bathroom looking modern for decades to come.

Whether your project is big or small, it will be given attention to detail regardless of the project’s scale. At T.R. Builders, we guarantee quality and honesty and treat your home as if it were our own.

Charleston is one of the best restaurants in Baltimore. Simply put, The New York Times calls the restaurant Charleston, “Splendid.” Owners Tony Foreman and Chef Cindy Wolf opened the award-winning and highly lauded Charleston twenty-one years ago in Baltimore's growing waterfront neighborhood, Harbor East.

The restaurant’s cuisine is both designed and executed by Chef Cindy Wolf, a 2006 and 2008 James Beard Finalist nominee for best chef, Mid-Atlantic. Her cooking style is deeply rooted in French fundamentals and the Low Country cooking style native to South Carolina. It brings both regional and international influences to the table.

Service and Style

For the menu, Charleston serves up a prix fixe from which guests can opt for anywhere from three to six different courses. Wolf’s constantly-changing menu emphasizes the importance of natural preparation, incorporating only the finest ingredients, and purity of flavor.

Here, Service is experienced, informed, and intuitive. The entire service team focuses on creating a memorable, immersive experience, and fostering a long-term customer relationship.

Last but certainly not least, let’s talk wine. Charleston could possibly have the best wine selection in Baltimore. This award-winning list was chosen by none other than Tony Foreman and designed to compliment every part of the cuisine.
