Funny name, serious ground cover. Frog Fruit is a fast growing Texas native ground cover with many names. You may have heard of it as Creeping Lipia, Mat Grass, Cape Weed or Turkey Tangle Fogfruit. Say that one three times fast.
Frog Fruit Verbena forms a dense mat that can take the place of traditional turf. You can even mow it like a lawn! It's an evergreen perennial with gray green foliage. In winter the foliage sometimes turns a purplish hue from cold temperatures.
This tough little plant is perfect for areas with heavy foot traffic, including dogs and the kiddos. It grows 3-4 inches tall, about 3 feet across and does best in full sun. Although it may not bloom as much, it will also tolerate part shade.
Tiny white to lavender-pink flowers appear in spring and continue through fall. Because the flowers are rich in nectar , they attract bees and butterflies. Frog Fruit is also a host plant to the Common Buckeye, Phaon Crescent and White Peacock butterfly.
In addition, Frog Fruit Verbena is heat and drought tolerant. It also tolerates poor soil and is deer resistant. HOORAY! This plant super tough and is great for walkways, used as a filler for large open spaces and trouble spots. You can even grow it in containers and it looks great in rock gardens and xeriscapes.
Pick up this versatile ground cover at The Garden Center today! We have plenty on hand in 1 gallon containers for $7.99. See ya soon!

I’ve learnt a lot of lessons over the last 20 years about what it takes to grow and lead a successful brand experience agency – and I can’t stress the importance of confident and assertive leadership enough.
The best leaders are the ones that lead by example, and not just as and when it suits. My leadership mantra is always to be fair, firm and fun. Good leaders have a lot of conviction as well as the determination to make decisions and to see them through to the very end.
They also have the ability to recognise top talent and provide the space for individuals to grow and reach their full potential. Equally, true leaders have the courage to fire the wrong talent, fast. It’s about being clear on the DNA of your agency’s culture and staying true to it at all times. The very best leaders are those that surround themselves with the right people, recognising that you can’t be the best at everything – but you can hire the best.
When you lead an agency like BEcause, every day is different. That’s not a cliché, it’s just the way it is. I can honestly never remember a day when I have watched the clock here. I have the privilege of working with such a rich variety of people and clients in an always-exciting atmosphere, and because of that days always pass by in a flash.
I’m immensely proud of the fact that I have coached many of today’s rising stars as well as recognised industry leaders. In my role heading up BEcause, I’ve been able to help nurture both the current and next generation of talent, and that’s a very satisfying feeling.
I’m particularly proud of the dedicated support and mentoring that I was able to provide to help establish BEcause Australia. Just four years in, it’s gone from being a new kid on the block to now boasting a portfolio of top clients and doubling sales year-on-year as Australia’s fastest growing marketing agency. That’s in large part down to the partnership approach we’ve taken, providing the assets and support needed to enable fast growth.
There’s really only one: making sure that we’re all on the same fast-moving train! Everything else hangs off that one focus, as it’s so important to all be working towards the same objective. We have our business strategy clearly mapped out and defined and all of our team works towards achieving this each and every day. That’s pretty rare in our industry.
That’s not an easy question to answer – but what I know about myself is that I love to be involved in worthy projects. The work we did to support Public Health England’s Be Clear on Cancer campaign was hugely rewarding, using real people with real stories to humanise the message and educate niche audiences. I’m passionate about delivering more activations in a similar vein to that.
When it comes to brands I haven’t yet had the chance to work with, Tesla Motors is right at the top of my wish-list. It’s such a powerful and innovative brand, and the company is developing socially-responsible vehicles without sacrificing innovation. It’s a smart, forward-looking brand that’s cleverly incorporating technology to improve the user experience. There’s a lot of synergies there with what we do as a business.
If I could single out an individual for this, it would have to be Scott Knox [Managing Director of the Marketing Agencies Association]. Scott has a genuine desire for lobbying for change within our industry, and works tirelessly to portray our industry in the right way. I admire him for that.
I also find the founders of WeWork, Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey to be highly inspirational. They’ve taken a simple concept and built it into a global enterprise in the space of just a few short years, and their model provides great opportunities for businesses like us to work productively in the right way and in the perfect environment. It’s a concept for the future that’s is already working very well.
Our plan for 2016 is to continue to win fabulous new clients, and to do more of what we already do. We’ll be capitalising on the success and industry praise we’ve received for our innovative Boursin Sensorium experiential roadshow for Bel UK this year, and our use of live creative technology to align the physical and the virtual is only set to grow. Things are set to get even bigger and better next year.

While I've seen the impressive efforts of turbocity tom shoe-horning in a ZX system on the C14 (helpful photos BTW), I was curious if others had taken some other approaches to replacing that dang stock potato-launcher hanging off the back.
I know its only been a short lifespan so far for the C14, but didn't know if there was some consensus on a fix for this, now that the 2011 model has fixed so many other things, like the heat issues etc.
"Those who say it can't be done shouldn't interrupt the person doing it"
I very well could have the wrong brand but I think I have seen a Jardines exhaust on several Concours. Very slick looking compared to the original.
In my research, I have seen pictures of several C14 with ZX14 aftermarket exhast ( I think they were Two Bros exhaust) using the factory ZX14 header. I will go that way some day. The factory ZX exhaust is VERY quite. The aftermarket mufflers are smaller than the ZX14 stockers and are easier to fit. They just cost a lot more. I did the complete ZX14 exhaust for $150.00 off e-bay. I did look for a long time to find a complete, perfect system.
Area-P is a popular mod but there are other farkles that had a higher priority for me. http://www.areapnolimits.com/products/Slip-On-Exhaust-Kawasaki-Concours-14-2008.php You can't see the exhaust when you're cranking through the gears, grinning from ear to ear.
There are collectively several million trouble free miles on the C-14. Get it. Ride it.
IMO it's a no win proposal. The OEM exhaust is less than flattering looking and heavy. But it's quiet, which is good IMO!
The ZX14 exhaust you will have to buy if you can find a good price. Then you will have to spend the time and trouble to install it. IIRC the ZX14 exhaust might actually be heavier than the C14's howitzer. You will also need to remove or modify the center stand to install it.
The aftermarket exhaust are very pricey, depending on how extravagant you get. You can get a full single or dual exhaust from them. The dual will be expensive (Again IMO). They will also require something with the center stand. But if you have lots of money, you can buy one of them too!
IMO the easiest and arguably the most cost effective is probably an aftermarket slip on can. If you can find a used setup, it's even less expensive. Some of them are pretty quiet. I personally went with the stainless steel Area -P . It was very good looking and lighter. But again $400+ isn't cheep in my book either.
Now I used the slip on for a while and liked it. Then I took a 2,800 mile trip with it on the bike. It really wasn't bad. But in my case, there was a slight droning that got to me after a while. When I got back, I removed the slip on and reinstalled the howitzer. After using it for a short time, I decided that I liked the quiet better than the look. So I sold the slip on. I was then happy and accepted the less than stellar look of the howitzer!
Some people have cut down the howitzer slightly and or painted the caps to make it more acceptable. But in my case, the best result was leaving it stock. Although if had gone with the ZX14 set up, maybe I would have left it alone.
Now here's what I feel is very important. If you plan on trading or selling the bike down the line. You'll probably be better off returning it to stock form. IMO, It's easier to sell or trade a bike that is in as close to stock condition as possible. So then maybe the slip on may be better. Decisions, decisions!
I've always told new riders concerned about looks that the view from the saddle is all pretty much the same, and I need to remind myself of the same thing. I mean, I own a Pacific Coast for goodness sakes!
That being said, boy that C14 can is a honker. I think it bothers me more that it extends well past the rear wheel, than its circumference. But realistically, from a price point, my Y2K C10 was $7k out the door and now only has 50,000 on the clock, so I (and my wife) feel that I could probably dump a lot of $$ and time into the C10 before justifying the cost of a C14.
And with a dearth of good mechanical support here in central NC, I would also be inheriting the mechanical duties on a much more complex machine. Maybe I could get the dealer to throw in tuition for AMI?
the stock Zx14 exhaust fits perfect, but you'll have to fabricate a left exhaust hanger.
Keep the rubber side down !!!!
That look great, not to steal the thread but what seat is that you have on the bike? Looks nice and comfortable!
Looking at the photo's, it's a Corbin with a custom seat pattern on it. The rear section is the Corbin Smuggler! Looks nice doesn't it!
find was the Two Brothers. Nice looking compared to OEM but almost $500.
I have a complete 2006 ZX-14 exhaust system sitting in my garage that I think I paid about $275 for. I just haven't decided yet if I want to install it. I did weigh it, and the two individual exhaust pipes are indeed heavier than the single potato launcher. They also have catalytic converters inside them, and the OEM potato launcher doesn't, since it's cats are in the header. While I do like the looks of the duals better, I've just about gotten used to the looks of the potato cannon, so I haven't yet bothered to install the ZX-14 system. I also like the quietness of the OEM system, and the centerstand modification is another hurdle. I think the sidestand may also have to be modified. I'm just not sure it's worth the effort.
I pulled my Two Bros titanium slip-on muffler off my 2008 before trading up to my 2010. I liked the look of the Two Bros and the sound was nice, but certainly louder. The increased sound never bothered my on long trips as the wind noise is just as loud if not louder, thus I always use ear plugs on long trips. I have not installed the Two Bros on my 2010 yet as the new stock can is noticeably shorter and better looking than the old stock can. It's also very quiet. I'm going to give the stock can some time before I decide to install the Two Bros. The bottom line... I have been pleased with my Two Bros.
Here is a photo of my 2008 with the 2 Brothers. I am not into loud and it is. I started the bike in the garage with the bike facing the open double door. My kid came out because the picture on the wall in the bathroom on the other side of the front garage wall was rattling. It is a deep throbbing sound. It is definitely louder than stock and may affect your fellow riders behind you. It is winter in Colorado yet, so have not had a chance to group ride as I just got it last Friday.

Borrowed vehicle agreement template, Contract agreements are composed between two or several companies, which will contain details on what factors were agreed upon by them and what the consequences will be, if either of the parties breach the terms of the agreement. The initial step in the process of earning actual contract agreements will be to draft a sample contract agreement. It may be done without attachments and signatures but it will be useful in picking points that are critical in drafting the original agreements.
A sample contract arrangement must have details on the names of those organizations which participate in it, details on who initiated the offer and how acceptance on the conditions were reached, consideration, deciding on what are all the legal actions that can be taken if either or both sides of the agreed parties don’t keep their word in accordance with the agreed terms, details on whether the contract falls under any international or national laws and what steps are taken to satisfy them and most importantly, the dates that reveal the contract period.
Following the sample contract agreement was given a complete once over by all the parties concerned with exactly the same, the appointed personnel of these companies can take the necessary points which were sanctioned to be printed on the actual agreement by the heads and can use them in complete sentences and paragraphs. Just when the actual agreement becomes approved by the heads and signed, can we destroy the sample arrangement. Some people also store the sample agreement for future references in different filing sections of the corporation. Have a look the sample of borrowed vehicle agreement template at the attachment page.

I hope everyone is having a great start of the year. Since everyone is trying to stick to their resolutions, I thought of sharing an amazing story of a person which I can't resist.
This new year's eve we had a family get-together and we invited our relatives and family friends to dinner. While sharing some family moments together, I was stunned to hear that an Uncle of ours had won $2 million in a lottery in 1984. He was very casual while sharing it with us. I didn't believe it for a second because he is very down to earth and has never showed any signs of once being a millionaire. Infact, he is a very contented man and very much happy with his middle-class life.
He started telling us that how he spent his winning money by buying his favourite car and other things he liked. Now, after 31 years, he lives in an average house with his family working full time. He drives an average car and enjoys an average household income. What surprises me the most is - he is the most satisfactory person I have ever met.
44% of the winners lose all their money won in lotteries within 5 years.
48% of the winners keep their daily job even after winning huge amount of money.
There is only 50% chance that winners will be happy after winning the lotteries.
90% of winners lose their friends.
68% of winners keep playing the lotteries.
Although gambling is not legal in India (the Public Gambling Act of 1967) and you could be behind the bars if you try to do so, yet horse racing and lottery are the only legal channels of gambling system in India. Yes, betting on cricket is also illegal !
Gambling laws are entitled to be enforced by State Governments in India but Goa, Punjab and Sikkim are the only States which offer lotteries to their residents. Sikkim has come out with its online lottery operated by"Playwin" which is played by Indians throughout India.
Buying lottery is an addiction and if you win it, you'll definitely like to buy it again (referring to interesting facts about lottery winners #6). If you don't buy lotteries at all, you have the skill of self-control and you don't believe in spending hard earned money on gambling.
You can buy your favourite car or travel around the world but you cannot solve tensions in your family life (if any) or make real friends with money. If you are not good at managing finances, winning a lottery is going to make it even worse because internet is full of such stories of people who went riches to rags with no sense of managing their money.
The real happiness is earned when you are satisfied with what you have . Our uncle is probably now a satisfied person because he has seen the extremes of riches and losing it all too. In his own words, he says,"if you can win an unexpected money, always be prepared to lose it as well because it never belongs to you. If you earn it, you own it. "
It's true, even if you don't know how to manage finances, a hard worker can loses it as well.
Satisfaction is the key. Thank you!
Thanks Rajlakshmi. He is, truly, an inspiration.
From money we can buy things for life but not life or happiness that's so true. I really appreciate your opinion. Go ahead!

Cryonite versus Chemicals and other Whatnot??
Exterminating with three chemicals little prep? TGTBT?
What chemicals are most effective?
Sorry you are reading this post. (I know if you are that you too are familiar...probably even more so than me w/BB's.) I think we have a recent infestion of about 2 weeks old because I am only being bitten sporadically and my partner not showing any evidence (I know that she just might not be showing it.) We arrived back from St. Barth's on Jan 3rd. No evidence other than strange groupings of bites that when I looked on the internet look like bed bug bites (i have had 4 seperate days in 2 weeks where I had new bites...very unusual for winter in Rockland County, NY). 2 of the days were single bites each but the 1st two bites I experienced clusters of "breakfast, lunch and dinner" (each time about a week apart).
1. Can flea bites look like BB bites?
2. If we determine they are BB bites do we treat the entire house (its a large old Victorian w/tons of nooks and cranies)? After only 2 weeks is it possible that it has spread from the bedroom? Unfortunately, I sprayed Raid along one wall in my bedroom near my bed before I found this website.
3. Has anyone used Cryonite and had success? One PCO I contacted who uses both Cryonite and chemicals, recommended an initial Cryonite treatment over the entire house with an additional follow-up one week later. The second PCO recommends Sterifab, Bedlam, Suspend and Delta Dust but just in the bedroom area and a follow-up 2 weeks later. I was thinking of doing both sets of treatments (Cryonite and Chemicals b/c of all the horror stories I have read. However, I guess these 2 approaches combined could potentially negate each other somehow.) Can anyone give me their thoughts on Cryonite?
I don't think anyone here has mentioned having tried it yet as a customer.
I would suggest you choose one PCO and use their method, not try to combine several. Ask each about what kind of guarantees they are willing to make (and what promises about coming back if needed and within what time frame).
Are you in a single family house? If so, heat treatments and vikane may be additional options to consider.
Thanks for responding so fast. I do indeed live in a private residence which I guess is a good thing/bad thing....more expensive to treat but probably more chance for success. I live north of NYC in Westchester County. Are you aware of any PCOs that provide Thermal Heat?
Also, just took my bed apart to begin caulking the frame and headboard and found a dead flea. Now I'm really wondering. I have a cat that is strictly indoors and does not ever scratch.
What it really comes down to is making sure that you choose a treatment method that is scientifically tested and documented by a reputable non-biased third party source.
Dr. Donald Rutz at Cornell University and Dr. Rudy Schiffrahn from the University of Florida have been and continue to conduct extensive research that documents the use and effectiveness of Sulfuryl Fluoride (also referred to as Vikane) as well as the use of concentrated heat above 130 degrees. These methods are proven to eliminate bed bugs in all stages of life.
Sulfuryl Fluoride has been utilized since 1961 to treat thousands of pest infestations world wide. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that leaves no residue which is documented down to the part per million and vents 100% clear. Unlike topical chemicals and other treatment methods, this fumigant penetrates all tiny cracks where bed bugs can hide and is not subjected to human error. I suggest you consider this method before using other methods that historically have been unsuccessful and costly.
I am not sure if thermal is available in Rockland County. If you want to go this route, you might do a google search. I am in NYC where it is not available, but you are far enough away that it may be.
We have a FAQ on Vikane. If you want to go this route, you can also presumably call Dow who market Vikane gas to enquire about local providers. I would try to get a number of quotes since there is to my knowledge more than one company doing it locally to you and we're told prices vary a great deal. Ask about guarantees--we have heard that human error can lead to unsuccessful vikane treatments, just like any other service.
1 - yes flea bites can be mistaken for BB's. I would suggest looking for physical evidence and if in doubt use a plug in flea trap for a few days to see if it is fleas.
2 - slightly contraversial probably but I am governed by the UK's strict COSHH regulations and will only treat areas of a property that have the signs and prescence of BB's. Unless something has been done to spread them they should remain relatively localised.
You are an early stage infestation given the information you have provided and most likely source. I would suggest identification and them control.
Thanks everybody. This is wonderful advice. I called my PCO and she is coming to confirm that the bug I found is a flea and drop off some of those flea lamps if so. I will keep you posted.
Completing a fumigation at this point makes no sense. Fumigation is a proven technique to eliminate bed bugs but as some of you on this site know, it can be an extremely steep financial adventure to embark on. A standard treatment shouldn't have any issues with a low level infestation in a stand alone house if the company providing the treatment is knowledgable. Low level infestations, for a good company, isn't usually an issue and should cost considerably less than a 10-20K dollar or more fumigation.
As for whole structure heat treatments, there aren't any companies in the Northeast that provide whole structure heat treatments at this point. There are two companies that do so, Temp Air in Minnesota and ThermaPure in California. Both may say on their site they travel but most people I know who have talked with them say they have yet to put their money where their statement is so if I'm you I move forward and leave heat treatment is the background.
I just asked a Cornell entomologist about Cryonite, and she said that for it to work effectively, you have to have a precise knowledge of where the bugs are (as we all know, this can be difficult for lighter infestations, even if you hire a bedbug dog). I wish someone who has used it would visit our little community and give us the lowdown! Good luck with this.
Yes--my comments were based on the assumption that you have someone verify the presence of bed bugs. No treatment should take place without that.
Perhaps someone can track down some of their research on this issue if any of it is online, and link to it. I don't have time right now.
Here's an article with contribution from Rudi Sceffrahn and Richard Cooper, who is regarded as one of the industry's top experts on Bed Bugs. You might be interested to know that contrary to the belief that fumigation with Sulfuryl Fluoride can be a steep financial adventure to embark on, there is a low cost effective method available without having to tent (which can tend to be more costly).
I found a company in NYC that offers this service called Bed Bugs and Beyond. From what I understand they have an excellent reputation. Might be worth a try.....good luck!
I have nothing against vikane fumigation (which I often recommend, in fact) or the company you mention. I appreciate your link to the article.
If you have questions about what I am saying please feel free to private message me (click the "PM this user" link under my message). Thanks!
Sleep tight, I think you're talking about commodity fumigation (your post was very cryptic). Here's a topic that was discussed a few weeks back where we talked about commodity fumigation and I gave my opinion on the topic (for what my opinion is worth).
Anyone interested in following this post can see my update posted today under "Dilemma in Choosing a PCO"
If you click "cryonite" in the tags at top, you will get StBarts' other post.
Not sure how long the moderator will let your post remain, but in the meantime, could you explain how you deal with the dispersal of bed bugs from the high pressure of the cryonite machine? Jeff White on "Bed Bug TV" had some side by side comparisons of cryonite to steam, and the big problem with cryonite was dispersal. The other problem was that some of the frozen "dead" bugs later got up and walked away after they defrosted Lastly, cryonite is only a contact killer. What type of residual are you using in addition?
This is such an old post - 9 years. Don't bother with Cryonite in general situations. It has to hit directly and sometimes it cools them down, but they can wake up upon warming up. No residual.

For over ten years, Memjet has been formulating inks that complement its printhead developments. Today, as Memjet’s printing technology has grown to serve several distinct markets, ink developments have kept pace. Memjet now offers inks that are formulated to meet market-specific demands.
InkWorld Magazine recently profiled Memjet’s advances in the area of ink development. Read more about what these advances mean for your print output and for your business.
VersaPass was Memjet’s first ink set, and this newest version builds on years of successful ink formation. Called VersaPass DN, this ink is 100 percent free of reactive chemistry, making it more environmentally friendly and ideal for use in the growing mini press food and beverage labeling market segment.
The introduction of DuraLink, Memjet’s second generation printing technology, includes pigmented ink that was designed to perform reliably in high-volume printing environments while also extending the printhead life.
These advancements ensure that Memjet printheads and ink work in harmony to make fast, economical, quality printing a reality—no matter the market you serve.
Kim Champion, VP of ink and materials at Memjet, will be providing an in-depth look at these developments at the upcoming IMI Inkjet Age of Materials Conference, taking place September 5 and 6 in Chicago.
Kim will be discussing a new primer designed to work with the DuraLink technology in high-production environments. Developed with Michelman, this primer allows users to print on coated offset stocks as well as certain packaging materials.
Keep your ink knowledge up -to-date! More details on ink-related announcements will be coming up in future posts of the Memjet blog. Be sure to subscribe.

I've been adding and modifying tests in an existing PHPUnit test suite for the last few years, mostly at work. My experience has gone through the usual stages of, anger - do we really need to waste time doing this, resistence - ok it caught that bug but still, acceptance - without tests I dont trust this bit of code, to embracing it. Time had come to setup my own test suite for one of my personal projects.
Sadly my Googling found lots of nothing with only a couple of limited bits of something, so here's my piecing together of those little bits of something.
I develop on a Mac and use MAMP, the first stage was to download and install PHPUnit. For that, this guide worked like a charm.
In the parent-most directory I created a tests folder - the intention is to mirroring my application directory structure. I also created a bootstrap.php file. This file will run just before the test suite setting anything up, at the moment it just deals with initiating my class autoloader.
Going through it line by line.
bootstrap="bootstrap.php" - a file that runs before the test suite, can deal with setting up autoloader or creating a test database and connection, etc.
<testsuites... - you can define all sorts of things here, I've kept it simple initially. All files named <anything>test.php will be picked up and tested.
<php... - you can set anything that you'd find in your php.ini here, I just make sure all error reporting is on.
So finally opening the terminal in the tests folder and running phpunit returns something like this.

Inquisition's online multiplayer mode drops up to three players into a five-stage map in which rooms, treasures, and enemy positions are juggled with each new visit.

The large, staff-wielding Avvar Skywatcher that players encounter during Inquisition's story; the pirate Isabela, returning for the first time since her debut in Dragon Age II; and Zither, a combat-capable bard that was introduced last month in what many believed to be an April Fool's joke.

The momentum for 4:44 hasn’t stopped. According to reports, despite slow ticket sales, it was the highest-grossing solo tour, raking in more than $48 million in November and December for the 32-show tour.
Last year, Jay Z used a “slow ticketing model,” according to Billboard, “blocking out bots and scalpers that instantly buy up tickets by pricing premium tickets higher and closer to their actual value.” Lower-priced $6 tickets were being sold on sites like StubHub for less desirable seats. The result: When aggressive pricing is applied to front-row seats, VIP experiences, and platinum tickets, ticket resellers are faced with a major challenge because those tickets are closer to the actual market value—a major win for Jay Z and Live Nation in terms of capturing more revenue and creating little opportunity for brokers to hike up ticket prices for the best seats.
Some saw the low-priced tickets as a sign of soft interest in the tour but the rapper, along with Live Nation, has proven skeptics wrong with the latest gross earnings. Billboard also reports that average gross for the 4:44 Tour’s completed shows is up 21% over his 2013 Magna Carter Tour. Platinum-selling artists including Radiohead, the Weeknd, One Direction, and U2 have all presented sellout shows using the slow-ticketing model.
Jay Z’s use of the model comes as yet another major boss move the hip-hop mogul has made in the past year, having just cut another 10-year Live Nation deal that mostly covers his tour business and has reportedly shifted away from the full 360 model initially brokered. He also joined the likes of Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Berry Gordy when he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (with recorded congrats from former President Obama himself). And 2018 began with wins: The $810-million music industry leader was honored this month with four NAACP Image Award nominations, including one for “Entertainer of the Year,” and another for “Outstanding Album” for 4:44.

Life – a puzzling adventure.
CAMINO COMPLETED – NOW WHAT??
38 days of continuous walking followed by another 3 weeks of exploring northern Spain….it was time to go home. We left from Charles de Gaulle airport on an early morning flight.
We flew to Atlanta and from Atlanta, back to Denver, arriving in time to catch the shuttle back to Laramie WY. We spent a few nights in Laramie being happily reunited with kids and grandkids….
….joining in the excitement of the Laramie Christmas Parade….
……..getting settled back into our little home on wheels, and seeing the dentist before heading to Lander. We left Laramie and arrived in Lander on a beautifully sunny day and got ourselves all set up. That night there was a big snow storm.
That’s the night we found out that this is not really a 4 season rig – maybe in Florida but not in Wyoming at 22 degrees F. The water pump wouldn’t work properly,the line from the fresh water tank was frozen solid – in a trailer boasting heated tanks, which we discovered were the black & gray tanks ONLY not the freshwater -, air was getting into the system, PLUS there was a hole at the top of the fresh water tank from a misplaced screw….and on and on.
We stayed until we thought South Pass from Lander to Rawlins would be passable – it turned out to be 3 nights. We took an exploratory trip up the pass just to make sure and decided we would be safe enough to drive the next day.
We left mid-morning the next day and got as far as Nephi, (south of Salt Lake City Utah) hoping to finally find warmer temps. No such luck – it was colder that night than any other before it! We basically froze. Early morning breakfast at Dennys and then onwards along I15 to Mesquite where it finally became warm enough to melt all the ice accumulations on the AF. At Mesquite we turned off and when we entered Overton, we decided to stay the night at the Robin’s Nest RV Park. Good rates and friendly people as well as a leaking fresh water tank prompted us to stay for a week while Mike tried to figure out what was wrong. We liked Overton…Sugar’s Restaurant, Lin’s grocery store, The Inside Scoop for ice cream, a great senior’s center, 2 hardware stores, and an excellent library, warmer temperatures – we had everything we needed to be happy.
The week we stayed in Overton, we also went to explore the area. First we went to see Echo Bay, the first campground in the Lake Mead Recreation Area. More about Echo Bay in a separate blog because we ended up becoming the camp hosts there for three months. The next campground was Callville Bay, 30 miles along Northshore Road from Echo bay. At Callville Bay is a fully functioning marina, marina store and cafe, as well as a Ranger Station, campground, and pay showers. From Callville Bay we continued west around the end of Lake Mead to find Las Vegas Bay Campground which boasts a “no generator use” section for campers who hate those noisy conveniences we RVers must sometimes rely on. Now heading back east on the other side of the lake, we discovered Boulder Beach Campground, the largest and most popular of all of the campgrounds in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area or LMNRA. We ended up this particular day of exploration with a visit to Boulder City, vowing to return to check out the Historic Railroad Trail from Boulder City to Hoover Dam, the main avenue for supplies to reach the workers building the dam.

I split my time between two lovely places: Devon ( green undulating countryside, rocky coast) and Norfolk, my partner Nikki’s home (big skies, brooding salt marshes). Getting a music fix in Norfolk and with decent sound quality is problematic. My 2 channel system – Ayre and Harbeths – Isn’t luggable and besides, requisitioning someone else’s lounge room for loudspeaker listening risks a bloodbath (think Games of Thrones’ Red Wedding).
Cue the need for a semi-portable system, one that doesn’t require sell-a-kidney levels of funding but nevertheless satiates my habit in whatever oasis of peace I can find. Agreeing with Darko’s DAP-days-are-over approach, my phone and tablet serve up the digits losslessly via USB Audio Player Pro to a Dragonfly Black (bought on impulse with the lingering regret that I didn’t go Red. ) A pair of wired Sennheiser Momentum on-ear completes the chain; incremental outlay £160 (thanks to Sennheiser’s Outlet store). Very nice too.
And yet it doesn’t quite get out of the way and let the music through, something is limiting my engagement. Only slightly, but how to go that final (yeah right) step higher?
Intuition says better phones. Closed; leaky ones don’t fit the brief. And being fussy about comfort, over-ears are preferable. Wired as well; better sound. Step forward serendipity; the Meze 99 Classics.
At £289 / US$309 / €309, Meze’s 99 Classics are neither cheap nor stoopid expensive. On-trend Beats can sell for similar cash. As can noise-cancellers from Bose, Sony etc. The 99 Classics have one foot firmly in the real world.
For the money, we get a straightforward pair of closed-back phones. Per the video above, they are well built and nicely styled. They don’t do that origami trick and fold down to nothing; nope, a hard case is provided to usher them to your next destination, with room for the Dragonfly Black and OTG lead.
We get two cables: a 3.0m length for home use and a 1.2m length with in-line volume control for use with smartphones. I stuck with the longer one for its greater flexibility; for me, the Mezes are too big for street life.
Old school headphones for old folk? No way.
The Meze headphones ooooze understated class. From the matt-walnut finished earcups through the silver fittings and the simple black-steel headband, to little touches like the neatly braided cable. On attention to detail Meze nail it. The gold option is slightly glitzier but still a long way from bling. I found zero issues with fit, finish, and build quality. The fact that these headphones can be fully deconstructed should repair ever be needed is also handy.
The 99ers are also comfortable even on my Shrek-and-a-half sized head. Clamp pressure is moderate but acceptable. The ear cups fit over my (medium sized) ears just so. Notable are the soft PU leather / medium-density memory foam pads that in use connote a warm feeling. I’d prefer velour but concede that such a switch up were it to happen would alter the phone’s tonal balance. Bottom line: I adapted nicely to the Mezes and forgot about their physical presence after hitting play.
Sensitivity is good, everything I used to drive them worked well. That included my Moto G phone, an Arcam rHead, the AudioQuest Dragonfly Black, Meridian Explorer 2, Mytek Liberty, and briefly the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital. Sources used were an Android phone (analogue and digital outputs) and Allo USBridge. I ran the Mezes in for 40 hours.
The sound? In a word: lovely. Slightly on the warm side of neutral but not overly so. A mid-range that’s just right and treble that’s a smidge rolled off but always communicative. The Mezes seems to tap music’s soul. If I’ve just described a well-sorted valve / Class A sound then so be it.
The 99 Classics are good on detail but not the gratuitous sort where the tonal balance is artificially tipped up. We get a good sense of what’s going on in the music without being taken down to the bone. Consider the delightful bassy vocals that emerge 4’30” into Van Morrison Healing Game (and new to me). As was the complexity of the arrangement on The Crusader’s Street Life, we note nothing superfluously added to the subjective enjoyment factor. Coloured? Yes. Bad? Deleterious? No.
Comparison with the Sennheiser Momentum on-ears was instructive. Sure, the Mezes have a more substantial, weightier tonal balance (darker if you wish, I always did prefer Sennheiser 650s to 600s). Moreover, the Mezes have a richness that the Sennheiser’s lack, the Germans invoking respect more than emotion; and ultimately lacking the Romanian’s ‘palpable’ parlour trick.
The 99s aren’t without fault, their bass sometimes draws a little too much attention to itself. Deep yes, controlled…. not always. The better the upstream elements – recording, source, amp – the less of an issue it is, and besides, a little low-cut EQ in UAPP / Roon allowed me to season the end result according to my own taste. There’s no EQ setting for ‘extra soul’!
I attempted to trip the 99 Classics up by stacking the musical odds against them; heavier tracks like Bettye LaVette’s Things Have Changed playing directly from my phone via Tidal (no EQ). I failed; the Mezes remained highly engaging. Subjective? Yes. But who sits down for a restaurant meal to pick apart its ingredients? Not me.
This brings us to an important point: that the 99 Classics are hugely flexible. At the top of my source quality scale, playing MQA via USBridge through the Mytek Liberty and, later, the Arcam rHead, the Meze clearly resolve the differences between the Mytek and the Arcam.
And yet – and this is a big one – the Meze still sounded quite lovely playing Tidal straight out of my smartphone’s considerably weaker headphone socket. It’s a Moto G3. Slightly softer, less detailed, but still thoroughly engaging, a sound that wouldn’t have me fretting that I’d mistakenly left the Dragonfly Black at home whilst on a fortnight’s holiday. Crucially, the Meze cover a lot of use cases; and do so with a certain degree of source agnosticism.
My old school pal Derek thought similarly. As a musician and recording engineer, he looks for different things from headphones, needing more treble than the Meze provide, pointing to acoustic guitar and symbols as presenting pleasantly instead of accurately. And yet Derek really dug the sound of the Meze overall, noting their nod to warmth and engaging gestalt when compared to his studio Audio Technica ATH-M50s and Beyerdynamic (model not specified). I’m not sure I agree with his assessment that the Meze sound ‘chocolatey’ but he and I found ourselves on the same wavelength when talking about the 99 Classics.
I’ll leave the last word to Teodor Currentzis, whose Tchaikovsky 6th performance has rightly been described as devastating – the Russian composer’s tortuous life captured in one symphony. Soon after its first performance he allegedly took his own life. The Fourth movement is the very definition of despair. As I write this I’ve just listened to the Third movement, the peak before the fall, emotions rising to repeatedly higher levels, the soul battered by the sheer force of the orchestra. Currentzis evokes the highest response, as do the Mezes. I sit here emotionally depleted, the adrenaline subsiding, cheeks stained, the heart calming slowly.
For a sub-£300 pair of headphones to evoke such an emotional response is impressive. And that’s my point: the Meze ‘phones are for those who demand an emotional experience when listening to music. The 99 Classics might not be the most accurate headphones out there but for the right listener, they deliver proper engagement whether driven by smartphone or full head-fi system. Colour me smitten – because a neutral sound doesn’t suit every listener.

However, when you go regional this should probably not be an issue. Look for a smaller firm that will make time to lay down safety wooden page onto the areas in which the trolley wheels might have manufactured contact with your pavement. That is a simple enough course of action, but it will also be fairly cumbersome. Though more substantial companies may consider this a pointless extra effort, small businesses that care about their potential customers as well as their status consider this worth going the extra mile. If you're not confident that a 10 Yard Dumpster For Rent in Chalk Hill, PA firm will do this specific, just ask them.
When you have your current list of organizations, sit down each and every of them and also discuss precisely what your targets are. Refer to it an interview. You need to express all of your current concerns and desires in the beginning so the company under consideration is completely aware about what is estimated of them previous to they start the initial job, as well as the dumpster companies could communicate the actual requirements of the debris pick-up for your requirements. This will establish strong, available communication from the beginning, so absolutely no mix-ups happen in the centre of a project.

The face of the United States is changing, and so are many of your early childhood classrooms. As racial, cultural, and linguistic diversity increases, so does the importance of your role in teaching children to live and work together respectfully. In this article, you'll find suggestions and strategies for doing just that. Read on for advice on working with all children and families, fostering bilingualism, and encouraging tolerance and self-esteem.
What happens during children's earliest years shapes whether they become open to or fearful of people with different skin colors and customs. It determines whether children learn to feel proud or ashamed of their heritage. It lays the foundation for children to grow up speaking English as well as the language of their home.
As an early childhood teacher, you play a crucial role in laying this foundation. You're creating the first group environment most children encounter outside their home, and your challenge is to make it inclusive and respectful. One key factor for success will be your ability to work well with children's families, some of whom may not speak English. The following four strategies can help.
Strategy 1: Exchange information with parents about race, language, and culture.
How would you like us to recognize your child ethnically?
What family traditions would you like our program to acknowledge?
What can we learn about your culture to help us be as respectful as possible?
What language (or languages) does your family speak?
Remember to ask for information from families even when you and they are from a similar racial or ethnic group. In any group, opinions and practices may vary. A family's customs may differ due to religion, length of time in the United States, and other factors.
Strategy 2: Involve parents in the life of the school.
One way to build relationships with parents is by drawing them into school routines and events. Different programs have different ways of doing this. Teachers can take turns communicating with small groups of parents or coming in later on some mornings so they can stay late in the evening to be available to parents. Some programs encourage parents and teachers to write each other notes. In others, folders or steno pads (with one column for teachers and one for parents) convey information back and forth.
Another Idea: Ask parents and grandparents to share their experiences and skills with your class. Invite them in to talk about trips they've taken to their ancestral country or to demonstrate games, dancing, and crafts from their culture. Such presentations teach children about other cultures, give you information about families' backgrounds and traditions, and show children that you value their heritage.
Strategy 3: Use parent conferences to set mutual goals.
Your school may have a policy of holding meetings where parents and teachers can without distraction discuss the welfare of a child. Perhaps you even visit families' homes instead of asking parents to come to the school. Such visits are a great way to see the child and the family in their own environment and gain a better understanding of their culture and practices.
During conferences, work with parents to establish goals for their child. Such goals can relate specifically to cultural understanding, language development, and anti-bias attitudes. Striving toward a common goal can create opportunities for you and the parents to examine how you can help realize it at home and at school. For example, you may agree that a child should be grounded in his or her cultural traditions.
But it may not be realistic for parents to expect you to learn and then teach those traditions, especially if your classroom has children from a number of cultures. In this case, the parents may assume responsibility for teaching traditions to their child while you find ways to demonstrate in the classroom that you value those traditions.
Likewise, if a child's family speaks a language other than English, you and the parents can set a goal together to help the child retain the home language as he or she acquires English. Once you've done that, you can talk to parents about the steps all of you can take to achieve the goal.
Strategy 4: Validate home language in the classroom.
Some parents resist early childhood programs that promote bilingualism. English-speaking families may think that if teachers are using other languages, they're sacrificing instructional time in English. Research shows, however, that exposure to another language can enrich children's ability to acquire and comprehend languages in general.
Non-English-speaking families may not support the bilingual approach either. They often feel they're sending their children to school specifically to become fluent in English and therefore may object to using their home language in your program. They may need encouragement to nurture the child's first language so he or she won't lose the ability to speak and understand it.
Such a loss can be significant and far-reaching for both the child and the family. Because language is such an important component of culture, a child's fluency in the family language will affect his or her sense of identity. The use of the home language also promotes children's cognitive development, self-esteem, second language (usually English) acquisition, and academic preparation.
Do I respond to children when they initiate contact with me in their home language?
Do I encourage both children and parents to use their home language?
Do I take care not to use the home language only to reprimand children or give them directions?
Do I use the home language to give children positive reinforcement?
Do I create opportunities for children to use different languages in day-to-day activities?
Do I have classroom materials in the different home languages and are those materials equal in quality to the English materials?
Do I work with parents to identify when to validate home languages and dialects and when to emphasize standard English?
You can use this checklist now and throughout the year. By reinforcing home languages and communicating well with families, you'll be fostering the kind of classroom environment that can give children a strong start in life. Perhaps Anthony Behill, a member of the Chumash Tribe whose grandson attends a child-care program in California, best summed up the importance of focusing on diversity in the classroom. "Knowing who you are is important for attaining an education," he said, because knowing who you are gives you a base for learning everything."
Striking a balance between respecting a family's culture and standing up for what you believe in isn't always easy. What if you discover a parent is hitting a child? Is this part of the family's culture or child abuse? What if a parent believes that girls are less valuable than boys? What if parents don't want their child to call you by your first name? How would you resolve these issues in the classroom?
Think about your bottom line. People may legitimately disagree about the appropriateness of physical discipline, but if a home situation poses danger to a child, you must step in and be able to say why you did.
Understand why a family behaves a certain way. In less critical cases, talk to parents about your classroom routine and their home routines. Establishing an atmosphere of trust may keep tensions from escalating into clashes.
Agree to disagree. In the end, as long as the health of the child isn't at stake (which is usually the case), you and parents may come to compromise or simply accept differences. The important thing is to avoid letting any disagreement affect the children. Don't make them choose sides or feel bad about what their parents do at home.
Establish a relationship of equality and respect from the start. If parents feel embarrassed about their English skills, you might share how frustrated you feel at not being able to communicate in their language. This demonstrates that you respect parents as equals and puts everyone at ease.
Link parents who speak the same language with one another. This is a way to encourage informal support networks among people who share similar experiences of being outside the mainstream. Parents can count on one another to translate, to solve problems, and just to commiserate about how difficult maneuvering through the system can be.
Show parents how much you value them. Reflect diversity of culture and language in your classroom. Translate notices into different languages by working with staff, community agencies, and parents themselves. And do all you can to involve parents in their children's education. Ultimately, you both have the need and responsibility to keep the lines of communication open.

We’ve been working with a client who was working with another jeweler on a very high quality diamond, Triple X (cut, polish, symmetry), GIA graded, but it had a super low price, which we found difficult to compete with. See his comments below.
This is a great example of how seeing a diamond, or having someone help you with choosing one, is the best way to buy a diamond rather than relying solely on the paperwork. It would be similar to buying a piece of artwork based only on a typed description. They both need to be experienced! We’re here to help you find the perfect, most beautiful diamond!
Thank you again for that fantastic quality, and working so hard with me to finalize such a custom design!

I sit here in the library as the girls read and play, casually thumbing through social media and catching up on emails. I come across this article and unexpectedly, tears sting my eyes and my heart is overwhelmed with His love.
Then she opened her eyes, and went back to drawing her chalk mural–while my eyes blurred with tears, and a huge lump came to my throat. Where did that come from?
She’s three…and I didn’t know her little heart could hold such gratitude. Or that it would just burst out of her, during this subtle moment in the garage. Or that she would thank God, outloud, for me, right then.
Usually, she doesn’t even want to pray out loud–even with me encouraging her. But today she felt something inside her.
Her little heart can hold more love than I often know.
Her little mind…is not so little as I think it is. She thinks far beyond what I would expect.
I would have hugged her right then, if my hands didn’t have white paint on them, and if there wasn’t so much junk between us on the floor. The drawers I was painting, and an old wooden chair.
“And when me and Daddy found out you were in my tummy, we were so happy!” I told her.
I looked into her deep blue eyes, that seemed to know something from another world, and her blonde tossled hair russled in the breeze. And in that moment, she seemed a thousand years old.
Because now that I know her, and know how special she is–it only makes sense, that it took so long. I don’t know what God was doing with her up there. There is just something about her, that seems as if she spent a long time on God’s chest before coming to mine. Almost as if heaven didn’t want to give her up.
Who are waiting for your baby prayers to be answered.
Who are praying every day for God to give you a baby. To give you life.
I don’t know why it’s taking so long.
I don’t know if He will give you a child through your womb, or through foster care, or adoption.
But either way…if you are waiting right now, and you don’t know why it’s taking so long.
Maybe it’s because God, the Maker and Giver of Life and every living thing…is still in the process of making your baby.
We can’t even begin to comprehend what is happening in the heavenlies, in the unseen, and what, or who He is forming.
His ways are not like ours. His timing is not like ours.
And perhaps if He’s moving so slowly, and He’s taking so long… It’s because He’s forming something so breathtaking and beautiful…it cannot be rushed.
He is in the process of forming a masterpiece.
As I look at our beautiful girls, the ones God has entrusted us to care for and love. The ones who have brought such joy and healing into our lives. I am reminded.. His promises are true.
As we consider the future of our family, specifically future adoptions, I now know that already God has planned for those children to be in our arms. His promises are true.
As we pray for my barren womb.. Even though days of prayer have turned into years, and sometimes we forget this one the most. I remember, that God has given us a promise of healing. His promises are true.
On this side of heaven, there are so many things we believe for in faith.. Some of which we will see realized in the land of the living, and some when we meet Him face to face. But most of all, we wait for His return and that promise that we will one day be in Heaven with our heavenly Father. None of our minor or major sufferings on earth will be done in vain. It will all bring us closer to the heart of our Father, as we look to Him, as we rely on Him.. the One who suffered the greatest to rescue His beloved.
YES!! So so so yes! Hoping with all hope for you as we wait in expectation of what He will do and who He will bring 🙂 love you guys.
Thank you for this post. A reminder of His goodness . . . . even in times of waiting.

Conforming mortgage rates are slightly higher this week after several weeks of average rates moving lower. Last week, 15 year conforming mortgage rates hit a new all-time record low of 2.56 percent. Average mortgage rates moved higher this week on higher bond yields because of a better than expected employment report that was released last Friday.
Today's mortgage rates on 15 year conventional home loans are averaging 2.71 percent, an increase from the prior week's average rate of 2.64 percent. Current quotes from lenders on our 15 year rate table are much lower than the average rate of 2.71 percent. The lowest 15 year rates currently available are as low as 2.25 percent with points. The lowest rates without points are in the 2.50 percent range, still below the average rate this week.
Low mortgage rates and a healthy housing market are helping the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, repay the United States Treasury billions of dollars they received during the housing collapse. Freddie Mac just reported a record profit of 4.6 billion for the first quarter of 2013. In total both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae received $170 billion from the U.S. Treasury. So far the GSE's repaid $62 billion back to the Treasury.
Low current mortgage rates and a low number of existing homes for sale have continued to send the median home price higher in the first three months of 2013. The National Association of Realtors reported the median existing single-family home price rose in 133 out of 150 metropolitan statistical areas.
The NAR also reported the national median existing single-family home price was $176,600 in the first quarter, up 11.3 percent from $158,600 in the first quarter of 2012. This is the largest year over year gain since the height of the housing bubble when the average 13.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The national average 30 year mortgage rate is averaging 3.52 percent this week, up 10 basis points from last week's average 30 year rate. Although the average 30 year rate is up sharply this week, rates are only 0.25 basis points from the all-time record low of 3.27 percent set late in 2012.
There are lenders that are quoting mortgage rates with points and without points well below the current average of 3.52 percent. If you have a good credit score of 660 or higher, you can easily find lenders quoting rates as low as 3.00 percent with 1.5 to 2 mortgage points. The same credit score will get you rates quoted as low as 3.25 percent without mortgage points.
Today's mortgage rates on 30 year jumbo mortgage loans are averaging 3.91 percent, an increase from last week's record low average rate of 3.87 percent. The lowest 30 year jumbo refinance rates today on our rate tables are around 3.375 percent without points. The lowest 30 year jumbo refi rates without points are also below the average at 3.375 percent.

Pictures of Apple's upcoming iPhone purportedly leaked last month on a well-known Apple blog.
It turns out, the pictures were on the web - you just had to be able to guess the URL.
Apple has invited journalists, analysts, and tech industry figures to its campus on Wednesday for the launch of new iPhone and Apple Watch models.
But if you wanted a sneak peek of what Apple is launching tomorrow, all you have to do is head over to notorious Apple rumor blog 9to5Mac, which published pictures of the so-called "iPhone XS" and "Apple Watch Series 4" last month.
So how did the rumor blog get these photos? While Apple rumors are fairly common, pre-release marketing photos are extremely rare.
Using those image names as a starting point, the 9to5Mac crew picked some potential names for this year's gear, and Rambo was able to extract the two pictures.
While the photos do spoil a little bit of Apple's surprise, until Apple CEO Tim Cook and his lieutenants detail exactly why the company has designed the products the way they have, all we'll have is snippets and bits of rumors - not the complete, official story.
Business Insider will be covering the Wednesday's launch event live, so click here for all the latest.

Traditional medicine has called on a number of strange and mysterious plants over the years to cure everything from athlete's foot to cancer. And though modern technology has taken medicine to new scientific horizons, herbal and medicinal plants still form an important part of the world's healing process. Though there are literally thousands of these sought-after healing plants, a few are more popular and more commonly used than others.
Ginseng root is a highly-prized traditional medicine that offers enhancement to both energy and libido. A heavy-root plant, ginseng is typically dried and diced or powdered for use in pills or liquid supplements. The large roots take years to fully mature and come in many varieties: wild, American, and Panax being the most common. Used to treat ailments like diabetes, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, stress and even the common cold, ginseng is manufactured in high, straight doses (pills and powders) or in small, trace amounts (energy drinks).
Goldenseal is a powerful medicinal agent that has been used for centuries to treat everything from constipation to cuts and burns. Its small flowers and odd berries make it an unassuming plant; however, when ground with its roots and stems or added to other natural remedies, goldenseal is prescribed for wounds, inflammation, gastric problems, respiratory sickness and even liver ailments. Goldenseal is also a strong digestive bitter used to encourage appetite and ease digestion. This popular traditional remedy is now on endangered status because of over-harvesting and land destruction.
This incredibly long-lived species of tree (a single tree can live 1,000 years) bears fruit and leaves that have traditionally been used to treat maladies ranging from glaucoma to memory loss. Processed into teas, powders and pills, ginkgo is a popular medicinal supplement used to treat Alzheimer's disease, dementia, depression, circulatory problems, vision loss and eliminate free radicals (particles in the body that negatively affect healthy cells). It contains flavonoids, antioxidants that protect nervous cells, and terpenoids, anti-coagulants that help improve blood flow and are taken as simple supplements or added to other medications to increase or support positive medicinal effects.
St. John's Wort is the two-sided coin of the medicinal plant world. Commonly used to treat the debilitating symptoms of depression, St. John's Wort is a healthy alternative to harder chemical drugs or treatments. However, the plant is also a noxious weed that endangers other plant species and can cause severe reactions and interactions with other medicinal substances. Because of this duality, the plant often comes under scientific debate concerning its effectiveness. St. John's Wort is ground into powder or pills and is administered to treat sadness, anxiety, depression and even alcoholism.
Chamomile, like goldenseal, is an old remedy for just about anything. From stomach ulcers to insomnia, chamomile has been used as a powder, pill or liquid supplement to treat and ease common minor ailments. A member of the daisy family, chamomile is famously paired with teas, honeys, herbs and lemon and is known for its calming and relaxing effects on the body. The plant contains a flavonoid (antioxidant) that gives it relaxing properties but is included in the ragweed family of plants, so allergic reactions are a general concern when using supplements of foods containing chamomile.
Aloe vera is a desert-climate plant that stores water in its leaves and is commonly used as a topical medicine for minor cuts, rashes and burns. Gelled and added to lotions and creams, aloe vera is popular because of its soothing and cooling effects on the body, particularly when used to treat sunburns. Also used as a digestive treatment for ulcers and constipation, aloe can be added to foods, beverages and supplements and taken orally. Though much debate exists over the healing nature of the plant, its popularity as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent adds to the healing ethos of aloe vera.
