"Some friends don't understand this. They don't understand how desperate I am to have someone say, I love you and I support you just the way you are because you're wonderful just the way you are. They don't understand that I can't remember anyone ever saying that to me." ―Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation
"Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future.

Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason." ―Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
"Choking with dry tears and raging, raging, raging at the absolute indifference of nature and the world to the death of love, the death of hope and the death of beauty, I remember sitting on the end of my bed, collecting these pills and capsules together and wondering why, why when I felt I had so much to offer, so much love, such outpourings of love and energy to spend on the world, I was incapable of being offered love, giving it or summoning the energy with which I knew I could transform myself and everything around me." ―Stephen Fry, Moab Is My Washpot

"How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us."
"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails.

"Do you want to be in your own story or on the outside writing about it? Everyone battles fear and uncertainty every day.

"I didn't want my picture taken because I was going to cry. I didn't know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I'd cry for a week.

"Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off – then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can." ―Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

You Save $23.60 by purchasing this kit rather than buying the items separately.
COMMENTS: I highly recommend this kit. I bought the kit for my daughter who runs track. She LOVED it. She used it as a bath bomb, and said her muscles relaxed and whatever pain she had went away. Will buy this again and will give them to her teammates. The clay gives makes it very solid, but melts easily in water.
COMMENTS: I bought this kit to see if I like the recipe and I did and since then I had bought more ingredients to make the same recipe.
COMMENTS: Very easy to make... im pretty new at this. .. love the product. ..
"All the shower steamer recipes they are all similar. Can you interchange and get the same effect if you use either arrowroot powder and Kaolin Clay? I'm assuming that both are used as a hardening agent.Thanks!"
Staff Answer Yes, you can use kaolin clay in this recipe which is used to harden the shower tabs.
"I would like to add epsom salts to this recipe could you help me with how much to use and any alteration I'd have to make to include them? Thanks."
Staff Answer To add epsom salts to this recipe, we recommend adding 2.75 oz. of salts and cutting the kaolin clay back to 1.25 oz. The salts would be added in with the dry ingredients.
"Can I add color to these steamers and if so what can I use?"
Staff Answer You can use Bath Bomb Colors or mica Powders to color these.
"How many tabs does this kit make?"
Staff Answer It makes (12) 3 tab sets.
"I'd like to make these more moisturizing. Is there something I can add to them and if so how much? Thanks!"
I've seen bath bomb and shower tab recipes that include butters. Personally, I don't want my customers to risk injury from falling in a slippery tub so I do not add butters to my bath bombs. You can google recipes and find many that include butters in them.
I like to use cocoa butter. I usually use about 2 tablespoons melted, when they are used for the bath tub. I add the cocoa butter after I have sifted the citric acid and baking soda I do not add any type of oils or butters when I market them for the shower.
You could try Milk Powder. Say you're total amount was 16 oz., you could do 2% of 16 oz. to get the amount you need for that batch.

Q: Какой первичный ключ лучше? id +user_id vs id Есть 2 таблицы. Таблица юзеров (user) и таблица их целей(goal_data).
Чаще всего из таблицы целей будет выборка всех целей конкретного пользователя.
Стоит ли делать составной ключ в таблице goal_data ?

Или сделать индекс (id, user_id) ?
Меня смущает что если делать составной primary key, то id идет первым полем и будет ли смысл... Плохо знаю теорию b-деревьев.
Подскажите кто сталкивался на практике))

Film review by Jason Day of the 20th Century Fox/Blue Sky animated feature set during the last Ice Age about a group of animals dealing with a meteor about to hit the Earth, voiced by Jennifer Lopez, Queen Latifah and John Leguizamo.
Directors: Mike Thurmeier, Galen T. Chu.
Writers: Michael J. Wilson, Michael Berg, Yoni Brenner.
(Voices of) Jennifer Lopez, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Denis Leary, Jessie J, Adam Devine, Josh Peck, Simon Pegg, Carlos Ponce, Ray Ramono, Seann William Scott, Wanda Sykes.
After Scrat accidentally causes a meteor strike, the disparate group of Mammoths, giant sloths and Sabre Tooth Tigers head off to see if they can prevent an impending global catastrophe.
This weekend is my nephew's sixth birthday, so as a treat I took him to see the latest addition to Fox's long-running animated anthropomorphic prehistoric saga, which has now lasted almost as long as the last Ice Age itself.
I think the 'e' numbers have kicked in.
I'm a confirmed cinema bachelor. Never happier than schlepping along to my local multiplex as a carefree movie mad singleton, I ignore the over-priced confectionary, ice creams and soft drinks, content to buy a ticket only and save my wallet and pancreas a regretful ache later on.
A five year could never avoid such sugary seduction. Before I had even bought our tickets, we visited a sweet shop to select a pot of teeth-destroying, but oh so satisfying penny chews (yes, I tried some), a huge bag of sweet pop corn, a bottle of blueberry flavoured water and a lengthy discussion about what my nephew wanted to eat at McDonald's afterwards (he needed something savoury to wash down all of the sugar).
I've written before about my lack of knowledge with animated film and how I assumed taking my nephew (then four, now six-going-on-13) would help lend more expert eyes and ears to my reviews of the new Pixar, Dreamworks and Blue Sky productions.
The Ice Age films it seems aren't quite his bag, so getting his final analysis was a little tricky. But I know my nephew fairly well and, like a lot of young children, he is usually unable to sit still for any length of time, fidgeting in his seat, asking for sweets and needing to be accompanied to the toilet.
With this film, he was content with just popcorn and only one toilet break (for Minions – five!). He was very quiet and, tellingly, all the other children at our screening were transfixed by the on-screen events too.
No, Finding Dory is out on 29 July.
It's a mark of quality that the Blue Sky team are still able to pull the rabbit out of the hat in terms of laughs and action for their fifth major cinematic release in the franchise.
Although there there is the definite feeling that there is a lack of meaty ideas and too much silliness, they keep this latest film funny and entertaining for both children and adults alike.
The Ice Age films are only around 1 hour 30 minutes long each, but they are rammed to the rafters with risqué, salty dialogue and cracking set pieces. The only niggling point here is that the 3D isn't as vivid as it could have been.
Adding to the fun is some skilful voice work by a great cast, particularly Leguizamo whose Colombian tones are almost lost as Sid the lisping, accident prone sloth and Sykes as a feisty and 'Dirty Grandma'. Brit singer Jessie J is a surprise addition as Sid's love interest Brooke.
For me, the plot is the most sublimely ridiculous and, but if I can bring myself down from my exalted film critic pedestal and buy in to the central conceit that long extinct animals are able to time and again save the planet through ever more ingenious means, the Ice Age films will always deliver.
See the trailer on the official Ice Age movies website.
