An expensive bottle of bubbly….
Sometimes only Champagne will do: when celebrating a big occasion like an engagement or wedding or as the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve. Billecart Salmon's Vintage 2004 Champagne* is a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, 20% of which was vinified in oak, and is the bottle for just such an occasion.
Right now it is tasting crisp and fresh but with a nod towards its ageing potential in a tasty lemon biscuit sort of way. I'd be inclined to get a bottle now and drink it next year because I prefer my Champagne with a bit more age. But at this stage in its youth I'd say this vintage is just what you need to waken your palate at zero hundred and keep dancing into the wee hours!

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me a Harvey Nichols red, how fancy!
Q. What do you get when you cross one of the UK's favourite red wines with a British fashion institution? A. A lust-after bottle of Argentine Malbec from Harvey Nichols.
As you'd expect, Harvey Nichols Malbec 2012* has been exclusively produced and is made from grapes grown in the Valle de Uco to the south west of Mendoza at around 1,000 metres above sea level. The height means the grapes get long, sunny days to ripen and chilly nights to lock in that flavour which helps to produce intense and fruity wine that's full of character, layers and style.
It's thought that part of Malbec's popularity over here is down to it's ease of pronunciation….. but surely it's down to it's charm, mouth filling texture and flavours. This one is as deep in flavour as it is in colour which is fitting for Malbec's meaning which derives from the spanish term mala boca meaning "bad mouth", a reference to the colour your mouth is left with after a glass or two! Intense in colour and flavour this one is pleasingly ripe and juicy with liquorice, melted chocolate, plum fruit and coffee characters on the nose; violets, red cherry and vanilla, ripe berries, cocoa, mixed spice and ripe tannins on a long rounded finish. Drink it with an alternative Christmas dinner of beef or game or gift it to a friend that has everything… or who thinks they do, this is the definition of affordable luxury.

[In song] On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me a robust red to help charity….
When Christmas shopping has drained you of all hope, good will and money you might be left feeling deflated by excessive consumerism and in desperate need of a drink! Piggy Bank wines have been designed to help you on both fronts.
Piggy Bank Grenache 2012* from the Languedoc in the south of France is not only a great party wine that would go down well sipping while you chat, with canapés and nibbles (piggy's in blankets?!) or with a festive gammon or beef but is also jam packed with the feel good factor. For every bottle sold wine importers Guy Anderson Wines donates 50p to one of three chosen charities. Each Piggy Bank holds £10,000 and when it's full the money raised is distributed between the charities based on the number of votes cast for each one. At the moment they're raising money for Meningitis UK, Wateraid and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
The wine itself is fruity and moreish, layered with fruits of the forest and cocoa characters and a hint of Christmas cake! Try a bottle for yourself and you'll see there's generosity in every bottle!

On the forth day of Christmas….
[In song] On the forth day of Christmas my true love gave to me a fruity Pinot Noir from Chile….
When done well Pinot Noir is as good with food as it is to gift to a wine lover and a decent one will always impress. It's a classic red to serve with turkey but insipid and dry leathery ones from Burgundy won't cut it: no, to go with turkey and all the trimmings you need to find one with some body, layers, fruit and complexity.
Chile is the place to turn to for reliable and often excellent value for money Pinot Noir like this one from Cono Sur. It's a Reserva which in this case means it's been aged in oak barrels for 10 months which has given the wine an extra dimension and added intensity. It's made from grapes planted in the coastal influenced part of the Casablanca Valley, 75km or so north west of Santiago, which is very much a cool climate area but has lots of sunshine to ripen the grapes fully. Cono Sur Reserva Pinot Noir 2012* is a heady example of what I'd like to see Burgundy producing more of. It's full of fresh brambly fruit characters, light spices and some earthiness and has a smooth texture and enough oomphto stand up to even the best bits of Christmas dinner like pigs in blankets, stuffing, bread sauce and gravy.

Hyperloop: Here's Why We Haven't Hit 700 MPH
The technology is getting there, it just needs a little push.
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies
8.5.2019 10:01 AM
Hyperloop set a new public speed record this month, but with a figure just shy of 300 miles per hour, you could be forgiven for thinking the super-fast train is a bit of a slowcoach.
The vacuum-sealed pod transit system, first outlined by Elon Musk in 2013, promises to transport passengers and cargo at speeds around the 700 mph. That's faster than a jet engine, and one proposal from Musk would cross the 380 miles between San Francisco and Los Angeles in just 35 minutes.
Six years later, and it turns out hyperloop is harder than it seems. Current tests show it's only about as fast as the decades-old maglev trains, which use magnets to levitate pods off the ground without any tube to reach speeds of around 350 mph.
Munich-based TUM Hyperloop, which holds the public speed record, only reached 288 mph earlier this month. That record was set in a tube measuring six feet in diameter, nowhere near large enough for human passengers.
Toni Jukic, the TUM Hyperloop manager, tells Inverse his team remains positive they can go faster.
"This year our target speed was 600km/h [373 mph] which we unfortunately didn't reach due to technical difficulties," Jukic says. "Without promising, anything I want to let you know that we are always very ambitious and it would be a pity to end the project 'unfinished.' We will announce soon whether we will compete next year again."

The idea of hyperloop gained popularity very quickly in the last five years, but sputtered in the last year as Musk's own enterprise, the Boring Company, seemed to sputter in the public eye, despite his promises or urban wormholes.
Even so, billionaires like Richard Branson and venture capitalists are throwing their weight behind the concept.
Considering the initial promise of faster-than-jets, zero-emissions super tracks, it's slightly curious that nobody has publicly demonstrated a hyperloop reaching anywhere near its hypothetical top speeds.
Hyperloop station concept design by Delft Hyperloop. Delft
Hyperloop: Running Out of Track?
The most simple explanation for why we haven't reached super speeds with hyperloop is that nobody has built a track long enough.
Most of the public speed records have been set on SpaceX's 0.8-mile test track at Hawthorne, California. The track has hosted four competitions, encouraging student-led teams to submit pod designs to find the fastest:
The first competition, in January 2017, saw Netherlands-based Delft Hyperloop claim the top prize. This competition was judged on a number of criteria, though, and TUM's predecessor WARR Hyperloop reached the fastest speeds at over 56 mph.
The second, in August 2017, saw WARR again claim the fastest speed at 201 mph.
The third, in July 2018, again saw WARR reach the fastest speeds of 284 mph.
In the fourth and most recent competition in July 2019, WARR successor TUM Hyperloop reached 288 mph.
SpaceX is not the only place where teams have set speed records. Virgin Hyperloop One, backed by Branson, claimed a top speed of 240 mph along its 0.28-mile "DevLoop" in the desert north of Las Vegas, using the XP-1 pod back in December 2017. The firm held the top record for only around eight months.
As eagle-eyed readers may have spotted, none of these tracks are particularly long. That could be the main sticking point to reaching higher speeds: Delft Hyperloop previously told Inverse in July 2018 that a hyperloop could reach its top speed on a track that measured around 44 miles. The team expressed confidence that the current technology could reach those speeds with the right amount fo track. Clément Hienen, the team's design engineer, explained:
The acceleration [on a public hyperloop] will actually be slower because if you accelerate this fast it will not be comfortable. The speeds will actually be a lot larger because on large tracks, for example from Amsterdam to Paris, that will only take you 30 minutes because speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour will be reached.
TUM Hyperloop takes a slightly different approach in its analysis of how to achieve high speeds with hyperloop. Jukic reasoned that a bus and train accelerate at a force of just 0.3g. For the non-science types, one small g is around 9.8 meters per second squared, the rate of acceleration an object feels when falling with gravity. With acceleration at 0.3g, reaching 700 mph may only require 15 kilometers, or around nine miles, of track. This relationship is linear, so with double the acceleration, the team could reach 700 mph over half the distance. TUM Hyperloop's pod currently accelerates to a face-melting 2g.
How many miles will it take for hyperloop to hit 700 mph? It depends on who you ask.
Test tracks are about to get longer. Hyperloop startup TransPod announced in January plans to build a 1.86-mile test track in France, with a view to starting tests next year. Musk announced after the fourth hyperloop competition that next year's event would use a 6.2-mile track with a curve.
"This would allow us to reach much higher speed since we have a longer way to accelerate," Jukic says. "Even though this would be an awesome new challenge I doubt they will finish the track in time."
Last week, Virgin Hyperloop One announced what could become the world's longest hyperloop test track. A partnership with the Saudi Arabian government will cover a 21.8-mile track. Saudi Arabia could prove an ideal testing ground: hyperloop expert Thierry Marin-Martinod told Inverse last week that flat land with little geographic features would make construction easy, providing a stronger competitor to certain flight routes.
With an unproven track record and incompatibility with existing rail, hyperloop could face an uphill struggle. Maglev faces similar issues, limited to a smattering of short tracks like the Shanghai airport link.
The Dev Loop operated by Virgin Hyperloop One takes about four hours to become nearly vacuumed sealed. Virgin Hyperloop One
There's something else though, unrelated to distance, that could propel the hyperloop to faster speeds far shorter distances. A vacuum-sealed tube.
Marin-Martinod tells Inverse that it's a "magic solution," but that it would place enables speeds up to three times faster than just a maglev train. The engineering problem is easy-to-understand and nearly impossible to achieve: Creating a completely sealed vacuum tube over dozens or hundreds of miles is easier said than done.
As Virgin Hyperloop One explores the feasibility of connecting cities in places like Missouri, and Musk hints his Boring Company could one day support hyperloop, the elusive tunnel-based system could soon spread its wings. But how fast it will go is anybody's guess.

Q: ListBox topIndex doesn't work I try to put the selectedIndex of a listbox at the top of the displayed list with this code :
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    sourceListBox.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.One;
    if (textBox1.Text != string.Empty)
    {
        int index = sourceListBox.FindString(textBox1.Text);
        if (index != -1 && sourceListBox.SelectedIndex != index)
        {
            sourceListBox.ClearSelected();
            sourceListBox.SetSelected(index, true);
            sourceListBox.TopIndex = sourceListBox.SelectedIndex;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        sourceListBox.ClearSelected();
    }
    sourceListBox.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended;
}

But the selected index is stuck at the bottom of the listbox :

And this is the only part of code that change the behavior of the listbox. How can I fix that ?

A: It looks like the call to sourceListBox.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended; is resetting the TopIndex. Setting the TopIndex after that call will work:
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int topIndex = sourceListBox.TopIndex;

    sourceListBox.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.One;
    if (textBox1.Text != string.Empty)
    {
        int index = sourceListBox.FindString(textBox1.Text);
        if (index != -1 && sourceListBox.SelectedIndex != index)
        {
            sourceListBox.ClearSelected();
            sourceListBox.SetSelected(index, true);
            topIndex = sourceListBox.SelectedIndex;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        sourceListBox.ClearSelected();
    }

    sourceListBox.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended;
    sourceListBox.TopIndex = topIndex;
}

A: Remove the check against the surrent SelectedIndex and your code that sets the TopIndex will execute always, also if your current SelectedIndex is equal to the result of the FindString
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        .....
        int index = sourceListBox.FindString(textBox1.Text);
        if (index != -1)
        {
            sourceListBox.ClearSelected();
            sourceListBox.SetSelected(index, true);
            sourceListBox.TopIndex = sourceListBox.SelectedIndex;
        }
        ....
}

A: Change
sourceListBox.TopIndex = sourceListBox.SelectedIndex;

to
sourceListBox.TopIndex = index;

A: to a winforms listbox
SendMessage(listBox.Handle,LB_SETTOPINDEX, 0, 0);

will make the topmost item visible, guaranteed, WITHOUT
changing its selection state, which can be a nice touch when just starting an app and deserializing to load a listbox.

Major Developments in Hyderabad – August 2012
The month of August had spate of issues for Hyderabadis including court rulings regarding engineering fee structure, power crisis, degraded roads, hike in auto fares, and so forth. Though a few positive events like Saina Nehwal's Olympic victory, 2% sports quota in government jobs, etc., were cheering enough, they could not overshadow the stress of negative issues.
Organisation for Counter Terrorist Operations (Octopus), the elite counter-terrorist commando force of the state police, is now head quartered at Begumpet near CM camp office. The organization has been sanctioned the strength of 1,097 members, of which 500 are well trained commandos.
The first indigenous surface-to-surface strategic missile which can attack targets in the range of 350 km, Prithvi – II developed by DRDO scientists was successfully tested at Integrated Test Range, Odisha. The army also successfully test fired Agni-II, a surface-to-surface ballistic missile, with a test range of 2,000 km for which the DRDO provided logistic support.
According to City Crime Records Bureau, the dowry harassment cases in the city are on the rise. The city has registered 678 dowry harassment cases since January 2012. It was followed by 82 cases of molestation and 43 cases of rape.
The city roads continue to remain in bad conditions, in the rainy season. Inspite of the city's traffic police alerts, the civic authorities are showing least interest in repairing the roads.
GHMC has launched its new call centre to allow people to lodge complaints and get information on various services. Customers can call to – 155304 (BSNL landline and Idea users) and all other users to 040-23302440, 040-23302550, 040-23302660, 8790715555, 8790725555 or they can even post their grievances online on the website.
eSeva centres in the city will now be issuing three essential certificates – caste, income and residential proof certificates within hours of submitting applications. This facility is available for students belonging to Economically Backward Class (EBC), Other Backward Class(OBC), Schedule Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST).
GHMC is to sell small clay Ganesh idols at Rs 10 each, at different locations in the city – NTR Gardens, Sanjeeviah Park, Bhavan's Degree College, etc.
The Hyderabad Metro Rail's third corridor (Nagole to Shilparamam), is now extended 1 km up to Raidurg and will be terminating here. The government has issued orders in this regard, and has also allotted 15 acres for parking and circulation area for the station.
Power crisis:
The power cuts in the city are back to 3 hours for domestic consumers.
The AP High Court has ordered various discoms in the state to adjust the already collected FSA from the consumers in their future bills.
Poor monsoon this year, has resulted in the under performance of hydel power projects in the state resulting in the shortage of power supply for all the sectors across the state. APTRANSCO authorities have said that, the demand-supply gap of power is increasing day by day and they will not be able to generate power within the state and will not be even able to buy from other states even at higher prices.
To encourage consumers to conserve energy announced cash prizes depending on the units saved. Because of the acute power shortage, GHMC too has promised to save 5 millions units per month, by saving on street lights and 'lit ads' of ad agencies.
Road, transport and traffic:
The transport department has revised the auto fares in the city. The fares increased the minimum fare of Rs 14 to Rs 16, and the per kilometre fare from Rs 8 to Rs 9, w.e.f August 20, 2012.
As a part of Comprehensive Transportation Study, being conducted by LEA Associates, in association with city's traffic department and HMDA, a survey was conducted to know the usage of public transport in the city. According to the findings of this study, the number of buses in the city have grown by 13 % between 2009 and 2012, while the dependancy of buses has flattened off by 2-3% over the last 10 years. Also, the buses constitute for only 2.6% of the city's vehicular transport and carry about 34.1% of the commuters.
The Hyderabad city traffic police will be levying a fine of Rs.5000 on motorists having fancy or illegal signages on number plates.
Hyderabad police commissioner has issued guidelines on Ganesh idol installation and procession to the organisers who are planning to set up pandals at public places. All organisers should obtain prior permission by filling and submitting the application forms that are available at all the police stations in the city from September 1 to 5. Any application submitted after September 8 will be rejected.
As a part of the WHO's 'road safety project', the city traffic police is aggressively conducting drives against drunken driving over the last few months. The Hyderabad city traffic police have reported that, they have booked around 8,400 drunken driving cases in the last 10 months. Further, the department has made it mandatory for the victims to attend counselling sessions at traffic training institutes in Goshamahal and Begumpet, either with their parents or wives, after which they are also legally liable to pay Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 as fine. The city police have also intensified the drive against female drunken drivers.
Ministry of road transport and highways has identified 25 accident prone areas as 'black spots', of which 5 of them are in the city – Kothapet cross roads, Uppal cross roads, Gagan Pahad, Medchal and Miyapur. Hyderabad city contributed for 9% accidents and 8% of the fatalities occurred in the state in 2011.
According to National Transportation Planning and Research Centre, Hyderabad had 2651 accidents in 2011, in which 441 were killed and 2528 were injured. According to this year's statistics given by Hyderabad's traffic police, the city has seen a continuous decline in road accidents and fatalities. This year the city had 1,518 accidents, of which 284 were fatal.
According to the city traffic police's reports, autorickshaw drivers in the city are the most common traffic violators. Nearly 13.88 lakh cases (27% of the total cases) are booked against auto drivers, while 11.69 lakh cases are booked against motorists, under the Motor Vehicles Act, between 2009 to July 2012. Also, between Jan-July 2012, auto drivers have paid a fine of Rs 2.8 crore for these violations.
Education and engineering
The state fixed common fees for engineering courses (for cat A – Convenor quota and B – Management quota) for this academic year (2012-13) as Rs 35,000 for 604 colleges with combined seat strength of 1,92,311. It also announced that a differential structure will be followed in 85 colleges which claim to have good facilities ranging from Rs 52,000 to Rs 1,05,000 for 33,243 seats. Among the 85 colleges, in which differential fees was fixed, CBIT, Hyderabad topped the list with the highest fees of Rs 1,05,000, followed by Vasavi at Rs 98,700.
Government has decided to pay the total fee to the eligible candidate studying in all the 604 colleges charging Rs 35,000 and for the eligible students in the remaining 85 colleges, where the fee ranges from Rs 52,000 to Rs 1,05,000 only selected category of students will get the entire fee.
According to the official sources, the students of AP aspiring to get admissions into MBBS and BDS courses have to appear NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) conducted by CBSE and there will be no EAMCET. The first NEET will be conducted on May 12, 2013 in the state only in selected centres – Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Vizag and Tirupathi. The notification will be released in December. Also, the CBSE will provide questions in Telugu, besides Hindi and English to make it easy for Telugu medium students.
The state government has issued orders, offering two percent quota for meritorious sportspersons in the state for direct recruitments to all posts of government departments.
GHMC has come out with a new software on its website, that allows the city residents to calculate their property tax by sitting at their homes. The owners by entering essential details like circle, locality, classification of building, nature of use of building, occupation type and plinth area, building construction type, age of building can get their amount of tax to be paid.
In order to clear the pending BPS applications, GHMC has designed a five-pronged strategy. Most applications were held up due to lack of fire safety and urban land clearances. Daily disposal of BPS applications list will be displayed in respective circle offices.
Hyderabadi badminton player, Saina Nehwal has won an bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympics, by defeating China's Wang Xin.

Today is the last day of the week as tomorrow is a public holiday in Singapore. It will be along weekend for me and I can have more time to spend in my little kitchen. On the way home, I was thinking what should I cook for dinner..Yeah, sometimes it is quite hard for me to choose what to cook as most of them are repeating every week. But somehow, ended up with choosing the old recipe , curry prawn, again.
Cooking style is a little bit different for this time compare to normal curry prawn that I cooked before. As I don't want to have a late dinner, I made this dish really fast.
Dice tomato & onion into small pieces.Set it aside.
In a wok, heat the cooking oil.
Add in number (1) and fry for about 2-3 mins. Give it a quick stir.
Remove it from the heat and serve.
Total time taken is not more than 20 mins and it is really easy and fast to cook. Enjoy!

Interview - MT6 Records
There are record labels who orient themselves according to current market trends, with the hope of releasing music that people will buy so that the label bosses will earn a lot of cash. These people are only in it for the money and could as well stop it right now.
Then there are record labels that seem to have an inborn need to test the patience of their clientele. They sign bands that may have no commercial perspective, but that tread on musical grounds where no other artists have been before. These labels release regular CDs, self-burned CD-Rs, tapes, and any other kind of format you happen to think of. These people are in it for the sake of the music.
One such label is MT6 Records from Baltimore, Maryland. If you listen to a dozen different releases from that label, you can be quite sure that you will get twelve totally different impressions. To find out what motivates a label to be so much left of center, I had an interesting email exchange with Alex Strama, label owner and self-professed NewAgeHillBilly.
When did you start your label?
The name and concept was thought of in '97 or '98. There was an initial release which was a cassette compilation of 4 track recordings, jams, sessions, etc. There was only 1 copy made!!! It was all our friends who we were jammin' with at the time. I still have the original copy. After that the Operation Huss Album came out in '99 and the first Newagehillbilly album "Lo-Fi Dreams". Then in late 2004 the label picked up with the release of the Human Host "Invisible Arteries" CD.
What is the meaning of the name MT6?
MT6 comes from "empty six pack". Sitting around one day we came up with the name. Pretty mindless, but it represents our enthusiasm of drinking!!!
Your first release was Newagehillbilly, which is your own project. Is that the reason why you founded the label?
That was definitly one of the main reasons for starting the label. (note: Operation Huss is catalogue #2, but it was actually put out before Newagehillbilly "Lo-fi dreams"...) Shit, I didn't know anyone who would release it, I didn't even know anyone who was releasing records in general. I grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, so I didn't really know of any "scenes", which from what I hear were amazing in the late 90s. Releasing the records myself made the most sense. It was a label for all friends/bandmates to release stuff.
You release music on regular CDs as well as on self-burned CD-Rs. How do you decide what to release on what medium?
$$$$$$$. That's what it comes down to plain and simple. CDs are a bit more of an investment, and since the budget is next to nothing its tough to do all the releases like that. CD-Rs are pretty freakin' amazing though. Very cheap and you can do a lot of creative and interesting things with them. If the band is very committed to touring then a CD might make more sense. But some projects are meant to be small limited runs.
Is running a label and being Newagehillbilly enough to make a living?
Hell NO!!! Not even close. That's not a big deal though. It's always for the music and visions of people. I am starting to strive to break even though. Releases start paying for future releases and so on. It's been a little better. In 2005 I definitely didn't break even, but we'll see what happens this year.
There's a very eclectic range of artists on your label. Do you choose them all by yourself or do they also approach you?
I'd say 95% of the bands are people I know personally in some degree. Some are very close friends, and some are people/bands I have met in musical settings, aka shows. I approach bands and have had some approach me. Pretty even I guess. There's definitely not a set genre or sound for the label. Just good, creative, different, experimental music. I like noisy shit, but quiet's good too. Listen to Hex Screw and then Baskettree and see how that makes your brain feel.
How many copies do you release of your different albums? Are your CD-R releases burned by demand or do you always make a certain amount from the beginning?
It varies a lot. If it is a CD release then its either 500 or 1000. That's pretty much the minimum you have to get. CD-R releases have ranged anywhere from 25 to 300. Usually I try and do 200 copies per CD-R title. I try and make them up all at once as opposed to burning them by demand. Then I know I won't slack and not ever make a bunch of copies.
You're located in Baltimore, Maryland. Is that a fertile ground for indie music?
I like to think so, and I do think so. There is definitely a very experimentally conscious group of people living in the city and on the outskirts of Baltimore. All styles and genres are releasing records and playing shows any night of the week. Noise, metal, folk, electronic, hip hop, rock, improv, etc. Venues are fairly plentiful, not too much of a monopoly. Good house shows, basement shows, warehouses, and art spaces... motivated people makes for good times. The copycat building is full of MICA art students who do a bunch of shit. Still haven't been there though...?
How do you promote your bands (fanzines, e-zines, radio,...)?
I try and do a lot of mailers to radio, e-zines, and paper zines. The majority of the releases get good reviews, and airplay on college and Internet stations. I do ads sometimes, and also trade with some pretty fuckin' cool labels like Crucial Blast and Valiant Death. So it gets exposure from different angles.
You mostly release experimental / avant-garde artists. How do you react when you are approached by a more commercially sounding band?
It's a bit weird I guess. Who am I to tell someone how to sound? But then again, if I'm not feeling it, then I'm not comfortable in releasing it. The label has been lucky in having all these bands that are so distinct and unique in their own ways. There's only been a few occasions where someone has approached me with something I wasn't really feeling. I try to be straight up with people and so I'll let them know. I would want the same in return if I sent my music to a label or personally approached someone with it.
What are your future plans for MT6 Records?
Release lots of great music, meet people, get inspired, release more great music. Upcoming discs by Mother Orchid, Pat Grant and The Blown Fuses, A) Torture Mechanism, Bo Lee Da, Newagehillbilly/Human Host Split 7", The New Flesh 7", etc.
Anything left to say...
Thanks to everyone and anyone who has supported MT6 and all the bands associated with it. Please continue and tell your friends.

I was using Feedburner to provide provide my email subscriptions. Rather than wait for Google to kill Feedburner,1 I have moved my email subscriptions to URI.LV. If all works as planned, those of you who subscribed to my blog will continue to get my new posts (including this one) without disruption. If not, I'll have some debugging to do.
I also had been using Feedburner to serve my RSS feeds. Same dealio; now URI.LV is doing this.
The subscribe buttons at the top and left now connect to URI.LV's email newsletter service. RSS feeds should be automatically go to the right place.
1With Google killing Reader, Feedburner is next. Some would argue Feedburner has already received the fatal blow and we just don't know it.
Hey, thanks for dropping by .. and for such a great service!
I'm interested in my newsletter subscribers so any sort of notification email when one joins so I can backup my list would be great.
Google decided RSS redirect with stats and email wasn't a viable business model for them, even though they gathered more information on their users to be able to server more relevant ads. What is your business model?
Good question about the business model. At first I developed URI.LV for my own need, I wanted an alternative to FeedBurner for some famous websites we created, so it's built on that hosting and it can easily handles hundreds of feeds.
However given the popularity I'll add a premium tier with special features to make the service self-sustainable.
I've decided to go ahead and make the switch as well! Hate leaving a Google service, but I'd rather that then risk my RSS feed getting axed at the most inopportune time.
The nice thing about URI.LV is that your subscribers will be subscribing to your feed and getting forwarded. Should URI.LV ever disappear, we won't lose our subscribers, just our stats.
BTW, I'm not missing Google.


One of the great tools available to employers is automatic enrollment to increase participation in the 401(k) plan. The Pension Protection Act (PPA) was signed in 2006, encouraging employers to improve their plans and make it easier for employees to save through the use of automatic enrollment into their 401(k) plans. Employers could now enroll employees automatically when they became eligible to enter the plan, but they could also offer the right to opt out.
Continue offering the employer match to your participants.
Increase the automatic enrollment deferral default to 6%.
Automatically move all eligible employees deferring less than the 6% to the 6% deferral rate.
Implement a yearly automatic escalation feature of 1% per year.
Industry thought leader Eric Parmenter, CEBS, shares how you can use choice architecture to help participants make better decisions in this Benefit Bits video.
58.8% of 401(k) plans now have an automatic enrollment feature.
The most common deferral rate (27.1% of respondents) across all types of employers is 3%; 1.2% of plans have a 5% deferral rate; and 12.2% of plans have a 6% deferral rate.
9% of plans have an auto-escalation feature, with 96.9% of plans choosing a 1% autoescalation amount per year.
Adoption of automatic enrollment has grown by 300% since year-end 2007.
In 2016, more than one-third of participants joined a plan under automatic enrollment.
Two-thirds of plans have an autoescalation feature.
With a few changes to your 401(k) plan, both you and your participants could very well be on the way to meeting financial goals.

Versailles is such a delight, and even more so when the weather is cooperating. Although clouds loomed on the horizon in the morning, by the afternoon they cleared up to reveal the bluest of skies. It made strolling the grounds of the Petit Trianon and admiring the gardens that much more wonderful.
For me, what hammered home the grandeur of Versailles more than anything else was Marie Antoinette's miniature hamlet. Having worked at a toy store for four years or so, I can recognize a toy when I see one. This was a toy on a grand scale for a woman with decadent tastes.
fantastic! versailles is heaven : ) cheers!
I never did make it over to Versaille when i was in Paris, but lucky you for getting a sunny day!
Love your outfit - it's practical and stylish!
versailles seemed like a grown-up cinderella's castle to me. i loveddd it and all the history it contains! so beatiful & i hope you enjoyed your trip!
I so enjoyed the hamlet! It's beautiful in any weather.
I love how your outfit ranges from Canadian Aldo & Jacob to Parisian/London taste, and from Chanel to... MEC!


The most common illegal ground for terminating a Hawaii employee is discrimination. An employer cannot terminate an employee simply for being of a certain race, nationality, religion or gender. An employer in Kailua also cannot fire at-will employees in retaliation for the employee filing a claim for discrimination or seeking an investigation of discrimination against the employer.
Kailua, Hawaii lawyers are knowledgeable and can inform you properly as to whether a wrongful termination has occurred. They will also be able to help you gather the necessary information and documents, and will guide you through any unique or special procedures.

Accord exempts K-12, Higher Ed, Corrections and Health Care Authority
Published: 28-Jan-2010
Legislative leaders and Gov. Brad Henry this week announced agreement on a plan to combine targeted budget cuts with use of the Constitutional Reserve and federal stimulus funds to balance the Fiscal Year 2010 budget.
Monthly allocation cuts for most state agencies will remain at 10 percent for the balance of this year. However, four areas of the budget will receive supplemental appropriations, drawing down the reserve (better known as the Rainy Day Fund) and making some reallocations: Higher Education, K-12 education, the Corrections Department and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority.
Senate President Pro Temp Glenn Coffee, an Oklahoma City Republican, commented in a statement provided to CapitolBeatOK, "Just as every family in the state of Oklahoma is making hard financial decisions around their kitchen tables, so too is the State of Oklahoma facing the tough choices in this difficult national economy."
Describing revenue collections this fiscal year as "very volatile," Coffee said, "While this budget agreement isn't entirely satisfactory to any of the parties involved, honorable people with right motives have negotiated in good faith, and we will move forward with caution to engage this budget and on to the 2011 budget."
Tulsa Republican Chris Benge, Speaker of the House, said, "This agreement maintains more than half of our state's total reserve dollars for fiscal year 2011 and beyond and also puts in place significant and strategic cuts that will reduce the size of government to better match state collections. This deal is a compromise that was not reached lightly."
He continued, "It remains unclear when state revenues will rebound, which will continue to influence our decisions as we try to pinpoint an ever-moving target, and budget accordingly," Benge concluded.
The three leaders said K-12 education would get $50 million to fill in the HB 1017 fund. Common education would share $80 million with Higher Education to offset some budget reductions. The health care authority would get $33 million in supplemental appropriations under the agreement, while Corrections would get $7.2 million. A joint statement from the three clarified the accord applies only to the 2010 (current) budget, and that no similar agreement has been made for FY 2011.
The accord will be the first matter considered when legislative work begins next week.

Have you noticed that there seems to be a war on grains going on? Some people don't think they should be consumed because our human ancestors didn't eat them, however it's believed that grains have been a part of the human diet for many thousands of years. There is evidence that it was the ability to harvest grain that allowed our nomadic ancestors to settle down and form societies, since grains could be stored and eaten in the colder months when there were no other foods growing to gather. It's also believed that the consumption of grains was responsible for brain growth in early humans. Grains are a great source of protein, essential enzymes, iron, dietary fiber, vitamin E, and B-complex vitamins, So, I don't know about you, but I'm keeping grains in my diet!
In my health coaching practice, I see many people want to add whole grains to their diets, but aren't sure exactly how to do that, with the exception of serving a stir-fry over brown rice. The Great Vegan Grains Book: Celebrate Whole Grains with More than 100 Delicious Plant-Based Recipes by Celine Steen and Tamasin Noyes has come to the rescue with over 100 delicious recipes that will allow you to creatively add whole grains into any meal.
The Great Vegan Grains Book starts out with an introduction to whole grains, explaining just what exactly it is that makes a whole grain whole. There are tips for preparing grains, soaking grains, and storing cooked grains. There's a list of whole grains, along with a handy chart that shows how much cooking liquid each grain needs, how long it needs to cook, and the approximate yield.
The recipes in The Great Vegan Grains book range from breakfast dishes (much more than just oatmeal!), main dishes, sides, and soups and salads. They include such original dishes as Einkorn Paella, Savory Stuffed Apples, Mexican Buckwheat and Corn Rounds, and Cajun Rice Patties. All of the recipes are made with whole-food ingredients that can be easily found at most grocery stores, so you don't have to worry about driving around to different health food stores in search of ingredients. Many of the recipes are gluten-free, so those avoiding gluten can still healthfully add whole grains to their diets.
Grains have never been cooked so deliciously or creatively as they are in The Great Vegan Grains Book. This is a must-have for every vegan's cookbook library!
Prepare the grain according to package directions. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C, or gas mark 6). Mix together the einkorn, shallot, miso, vinegar, and tahini paste in a medium-size bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pack the grain mixture evenly into the cored apples, patting any extra on top. Bake for 15 minutes. If the apples are not tender, cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes longer or until the apples are tender. The size of the apples will determine the baking time.

I have a copy of The Great Vegan Grains Book for one lucky winner this week. Follow the instructions below to enter. U.S. residents only, please. Contest ends at midnight eastern time on November 29th. Good luck!
My favorite grain is buckwheat!
Wow, that is a tough one. I would say oatmeal and quinoa..
My favorite whole grain is oats! I go through more than 4 lbs a week.
I've been eating a lot of farro. I love the nutty texture!
I love farro, especially in a Buddha bowl!
Brown rice is my favorite whole grain!
My favorite whole grain at the moment is brown jasmine rice.
I really like Israeli Couscous!
Oats. I want to try spelt.

organized the first Summer Blast Blog Tour (SBBT), in which bloggers had the opportunity to interview a multitude of fascinating and talented authors, with new and exclusive interviews posted every day for a week. Colleen has now organized a blog tour which is quite worldly: the One-Shot World Tour (OSWT), in which bloggers will feature a book or books by an author from a certain country.
The first stop on our tour is Australia - with a few side trips to New Zealand - making this inaugural edition Best Read With Vegemite.
I've always had a fascination with stories set in Australia, so I jumped on the Australian OSWT bandwagon with gusto.
Aussie Tales
When I was in elementary school, my sister had a very cool pen pal in Australia named Mel. When the girls discovered that their younger sisters who were nearly the same age, the younger set became pen pals as well. Our families met early in our friendship, when her family took a big trip to America. During that day, as well as in the years and letters to come, we giggled over the words our countries used differently. To me, jumper was a sleeveless dress best worn over a cute shirt and tights; to Zoe, it was a sweater. When she asked for tomato sauce, I pictured what I'd add to a pasta dish until she reached for the bottle of ketchup.
Zoe and I wrote back and forth for at least five years. We shared a love for performing and a love of books. We could talk about classics one moment and The Baby-Sitters Club the next.
At one point, our Australian sisters sent us a container of vegemite. We tried it, but we didn't care for it.
I do wish we were still in touch. Zoe and Mel, I hope you are doing well, and that you are successful and happy!
Today's Topic
In 2005, I read Finding Grace by Alyssa Brugman. I enjoyed it so much that I included in on my Best Books of 2005 list, under the category of best backlist titles. I followed it up with Walking Naked, her second novel for teens, which was also well-written. I snatched up Being Bindy as soon as it was released in America last year. It was a fun, realistic story, and I added that to many of my middle school booklists. Though I enjoyed all three of these novels, it was Finding Grace that struck me the most. Here's my original review:
In this thoughtful novel, a high school graduate becomes the caretaker for a woman who became brain damaged as an adult for reasons unknown . . . at first. As Rachel learns more about her charge Grace, she also learns more about herself.
Finding Grace was surprisingly poignant. Rachel is appropriately awkward at first, not certain how to act around Grace. She is also on that brink between being a kid and being an adult, having graduated from high school but not completely knowing what she wants to do next. My heart went out to each of the characters in turn, and the writing kept me wanting to find out more about all of them.
Finding Grace explores and respects injuries and recovery of an adult after an accident while simultaneously detailing teenage embarrassment in a very gentle way. I recommend this book to teens and adults alike.
Culture Clash or Crash Course?
Though Finding Grace does not focus outright on Australian culture, politics, or other country-specific topics, American readers will know from the start that they aren't reading a book set in their country simply because of the terms Rachel uses to reference her schooling and graduation. Nevertheless, the story is all about people and their relationships, and it will appeal to readers of any age or nationality who are looking for a coming-of-age story.
In addition to the three aforementioned titles, Alyssa Brugman also writes the Shelby Shaw pony series, which currently has four titles: For Sale and Swap, Beginner's Luck, Hot Potato, and Hide & Seek. Her newest novel, Solo, is now on sale in Australia. None of these titles appear to be available in the USA - yet. I keep checking bookshops and the public library, just in case!

At this time of year (Jan) you will notice lots of little green shoots popping out from the soil that look just like those pictured above. These are Cleavers or often more commonly known as goose grass.
Cleavers are so called because they 'stick' to most clothing. As a child do you remember throwing them at each other? Thought so. Well, the seeds are also sticky because of lots of tiny hooked hairs. These seeds grasp the fur of animals and then at some point fall off and germinate. This is one reason why this plant is so successful.
As well as being as common as grass, it is actually quite useful too.
Greens: All of the green parts are edible, but best eaten when very young. You will need to cook it in boiling water for a few minutes before eating as this destroys all of those little hairs. Be warned though, old cleavers can be VERY stringy. I find the best thing to do is use the small shoots in ale making, mixing them with other greens such as nettles.
Seeds: the seeds start of life as green and as they mature they become purple. Once these are at this stage the whole plant is way past its best, but these little seeds, or sweethearts as they are also called still have one lasting use to leave an impression on you. Grab yourself a handful or two and roast them in a low oven. Once they are bone-dry grind them up and use them in place of coffee.
My two greyhounds are obsessive chewers of fresh young cleavers shoots all year round when out walking - they chew but do not swallow. I assume there is something medicinal, good for the stomach or just dog-tasty about this plant!.
The roots can also be used to produce a red dye.

Northwestern to Seek Permits for Construction of North Campus Facility
New building to provide space for parking, fitness and academic programs
January 10, 2013 | By Alan Cubbage
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Northwestern University is seeking permits from the City of Evanston to begin construction of a new facility on the north end of its Evanston campus in February that will provide space for parking, recreation, clinical services and academic programs. The new facility will have 1,125 parking spaces, new weight and fitness rooms, the School of Communication audiology and speech clinics and space for other academic programs.
The new facility, which will replace an existing surface parking lot, will be connected to the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion/Norris Aquatics Center on the north end of Northwestern's Evanston campus. As a result, people will be able to go directly from the new facility into the sports center.
Northwestern is seeking the necessary approvals from the Evanston Preservation Commission to proceed with the work. As required by the Evanston preservation ordinance, approval from the Preservation Commission is needed. Northwestern presented plans for the facility at a meeting of the Preservation Commission Jan. 10.
North Campus Drive, the road that runs from Lincoln Avenue south into campus, will be relocated to the west of the new building.
The first floor of the new building will provide space for a new weight room and fitness studios, as well as office space and meeting rooms for fitness and recreation staff. The new building will abut the west side of the current sports and recreation center, and a new entrance to the center will be created on the south side of that building.
"The new facility will provide significantly expanded and improved space for fitness, wellness and other programs for use by the entire Northwestern community," said Jim Phillips, vice president for athletics and recreation.
The facility is part of a planned major athletics and recreation complex on the north end of Northwestern's Evanston campus. Other components of the complex include a large multipurpose facility, renovations and additions to the Crown Sports Pavilion and Norris Aquatics Center, and enhancements to the field hockey and lacrosse/soccer fields.
Additional space on the first floor and on the second floor of the new parking structure will be used by Northwestern's audiology clinic and speech/language/learning clinic, which serve children and adults with hearing and speech health care needs. The new space will provide improved and expanded space for clinical diagnosis and treatment, as well as faculty offices.
Other space on the first and second floors will be used for academic programs for the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.
The new structure will provide six levels of parking totaling 1,125 spaces, replacing the approximately 400 spaces in the current surface lot at that location and approximately 450 spaces that will be eliminated when construction of a new building for the Kellogg School of Management begins later this year. The additional spaces created by the new building will make parking more plentiful in the north campus area while providing capacity for future campus development, said Ron Nayler, associate vice president for facilities management.
Construction of the parking garage portion of the new building is slated to be completed early in 2014, with development of the recreational and office spaces occurring later that year. The first phase of the project is estimated to cost more than $40 million.
When construction begins, the existing lot will be closed. The parking lot east of Kemper Hall, located just to the north, will remain open, as will the lot east of the sports and aquatics center and the lot east of Frances Searle and Cook halls.
"We anticipate that there will be some disruption in traffic and parking patterns during construction, but when the new structure is complete, we will have additional parking, improved recreational facilities, and new space for academic and clinical programs," Nayler said.

The Ministry of Public Security released a statement on Wednesday expressing sadness over the deaths of two police officers who were shot on Tuesday during a manhunt for a gunman in Suning, Hebei province.
Condolences were also expressed about the suicide of the wife of one of the slain officers. The woman jumped from the sixth floor of a hotel at about 4 am on Wednesday, according to the Cangzhou Public Security Department.
Her action was apparently triggered by grief over the death of her husband, police officer Xue Yongqing, 48, Beijing News reported. The second officer was Yuan Shuai, 34.
Both officers, who worked at the Suning county Public Security Bureau, were shot with a double-barrel shotgun by Liu Shuangrui of Xishibao, in Suning, which is administered by Cangzhou.
Later, police found Liu dead on the roof of his house. His death is being investigated.
Besides Xue and Yuan, the gunman also killed two local residents. Five others were injured in Xishibao and are now in stable condition.
According to Yang Chunyang, head of the county's criminal police force, who responded to the shooting, Liu entered four homes and shot the owners on Monday night.
During the subsequent shootout between Liu and the police, four officers were wounded. Xue and Yuan died later in a hospital.
Investigators want to know where Liu obtained the shotgun and ammunition, and what his motive was for the crimes, the police said. A preliminary investigation revealed no conflicts between Liu and the victims.
Villagers said Liu once suffered from schizophrenia, but that has not been confirmed.
Police officer Xue had been a hard worker since 1990, according to the bureau. He is survived by his parents and his wife's parents, all of whom are elderly, and a child who is studying at a university. Yuan had a 3-year-old daughter, authorities said.
Internet users expressed sympathy for the families of the victims and acknowledged that a policeman's job is dangerous. People should understand and support them, netizens said.
Micro-blogger "simmy918" asked whether sufficient support had been provided that might have prevented the death of Xue's wife. Another micro-blogger, "Yuchenqu", said the police should have been equipped with bulletproof vests and helmets when hunting for the shooter.

Kevin Gates speaks on wanting to take his own Life Last Year, but a fan encounter 'Changed His Mind'
Baton Rouge native Kevin Gates recalls moment he planned to kill himself and how a fan encounter changed his mind.
Kevin Gates Details the Moment He Wanted to Take His Own Life in December
During a recent conversation with the Big Facts Podcast, which is hosted by Big Bank and DJ Scream, Gates stated in the interview he wrote a suicide note in December 2020. He was set on ending his life, but a fan thankfully convinced him not to go through with it.
"December 10th through the 12th was the hardest for me this year," Gates said nine minutes into the interview above. "I disabled my Instagram. … See, I don't do the 'Man, I'm 'bout to kill myself!' I don't want no attention. I was going the way of the samurai. Just smash myself because I was to the point I ain't wanna live no more."
The Baton Rouge rapper explained that before leaving social media for a bit, he put together a party for his daughter's birthday in Cabo, Mexico, holding her and rocking her because he sincerely thought it was the last time. He would ever see her. Gates says his emotional trauma put a tremendous weight on his shoulders and he wasn't feeling "celebrated" at home, but it was a fan interaction at the gym that ended up saving his life.
"I wasn't happy," he said. "As men, when you a provider and you not feeling like you being celebrated in the proper manner, you feel like you only being tolerated... when I was in the streets I used to hate going home because I felt like I wasn't welcome there. Y'all act like I'm just doing what I'm supposed to be doing."
Gates told himself, after the interaction with the fan, "give it three days" before making any dramatic decisions. "When I disconnected my Instagram and stopped making comparisons to my life and other people's highlight film, and just started living for me and really appreciating the good things about myself, and love what you have and have all that you need and really engaging with myself and the world—that's what really shook me all the way," he said. "If I only help one person with my story, with everything I've been through, then I've served my purpose."
Watch the whole interview with Kevin Gates below.


The Carl Sagan Medal for outstanding public communication by a planetary scientist has gone to one of the late Dr. Sagan's students. Dr. James Bell of Arizona State University has turned beautiful pictures taken on the surface of Mars into best-selling books. Bell, who is President of the Planetary Society (a role Sagan held until his death in 1996), was celebrated at an October 3 ceremony for his many years of communicating his passion for the exploration of space to the public.
Formerly of Cornell University, Dr. Bell is now a professor in ASU's School of Earth and Space Exploration. He is also the lead scientist for the Pancam color imaging system on the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. He has written two books about his Mars work: Postcards from Mars and Mars 3-D: A Rover's Eye View of the Red Planet.
Dr. Bell will be in good company at the annual conference of the DPS, October 2 to 7, 2011 in Nantes, France. Emily Lakdawalla is the first woman and the first new media journalist to win the Jonathan Eberhart Planetary Sciences Journalism Award from the DPS. Lakdawalla, a planetary geologist and the Planetary Society's Science and Technology Coordinator, blogs nearly every day about new discoveries and research in planetary sciences.
Through her Planetary Society blog and Tweets (@elakdawalla), Lakdawalla works tirelessly to communicate both the hard science and the wonders of the solar system. The Eberhart Award honors her 2009 blog posting entitled "The Phoebe Ring." This engaging and stimulating article sheds light on the discovery by astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope of a previously unseen ring around Saturn that shares the same orbit as its moon Phoebe. It can be found here.
The Carl Sagan Medal was established by the DPS to recognize and honor outstanding communication by an active planetary scientist that is directed to the general public. It is awarded to scientists whose efforts have significantly contributed to public understanding of, and enthusiasm for, planetary science.
The Jonathan Eberhart Planetary Sciences Journalism Award was created by the DPS in honor of the late Jonathan Eberhart -- a writer for Science News magazine -- to recognize and stimulate distinguished popular writing on planetary sciences. Both prizes included cash awards for the recipients.

As always, these episodes of Lal Ishq were absolutely flawless. The characters are eccentric, difficult, confused and yet so relatable, so endearing. To be honest, for quite a long time, this is the only drama that keeps you occupied in a trance for its full duration. There is a genius at work behind it and thus all the actors are absolutely perfect in their characterization. I wonder why is it not getting more appreciation than all the silly ones out there who have no substance to offer.
So Ansa Mehrunnisa is still herself and both her brother and son are hurt but she is stuck in time where Bali's death to avenge Hukum's murder is the only thing that will make her happy. Her ego is sky high and she is more patriarchal than any male landlord could ever be. In her eyes, revenge is above all other relations, even those who who are her own flesh and blood.
The way all characters are entwined is just amazing. They all shot at eachother when none of them really wanted to. Yawar Kamal was pained to hurt Punar and vice versa but the grip of Hukum's murder is so strong that it has overtaken all the good feelings of today.
Punar and Rameen have both felt attraction for eachother but the "mard ka bacha" is just so shy and humble when it comes to expressing her feelings whereas Rameen is the strong one who is enjoying the attention and also seeing Punar uncomfortable. Aabi Khan is just amazing as the loving, shy, obedient Mehr Punar who is pretending to be aggressive and revengeful to make his controlling mother happy. Every expression and dialogue he delivers is just flawless.
Bali and Jajji have finally reached truce. Till they had not met, they were both suspicious of eachother but when they met, had a vent out of pent up emotions by hitting eachother, they could connect on a very sentimental level. They saw that both of them felt immense love and care for Farhad and Rameen and understood eachother much better. Bali has agreed to let his kids keep on thinking of Jajji as Iqbal, their father. He felt it was a small price to pay for the sacrifices Jajji has done for his children and he is filled with gratitude. In his eyes, Zohra's death has settled his score with the Mehrs and they have nothing more to do with him. Little does he know that they are still blood thirsty for him.
Mahi wants to delay her marriage because she thinks she can stop Punar from killing Bali and getting murdered by him or his men or get punished by the state for murder. Even though Mehrunnisa does not pay any heed to what Mahi or anyone in the household thinks for that matter, Mahi still wants to do everything she can to put an end to this saga of bloodshed and let her brother lead a normal life. She has convinced Rameen of her cause and we will see in the next episode if she can get her proper message across to Farhad well and whether he would support her in this decision or not.

Fibromyalgia is one of those illnesses that many people throughout the United States suffers with.
It is estimated that in the United States there are around 5 million people who are 18 years of age and older that suffer with this illness.
What comes as a surprise to most people is that we are still learning things about this illness.
Despite so many people suffering with this, there is still tons of information that we do not know about this illness and how it affects the body.
We do know that it causes people to become extremely tired, and they may be in a lot of pain.
However, as we study this illness more and more, it is becoming clear that those small issues that people have may be due to having fibromyalgia!
Brittle Nails: What are These?
One of the issues that we see in some fibromyalgia patients are brittle nails. What are brittle nails? Brittle nails are categorized by nails that are cracked, chipped, split or peeling.
This is often a sign of aging or using nail polish for years, or even be a result of having your nails exposed to moist conditions such as swimming a lot or even washing dishes.
While these brittle nails are not going to directly affect your health, they can cause some discomfort for people.
Especially women! Many women hate that their nails are brittle and look weak as this can affect the overall type of appearance that they want to portray.
For those who suffer with fibromyalgia, there are many people who feel as though this issue is just another one that makes them tired of dealing with this illness. So, what can you do with brittle nails?
There are several different treatments for brittle nails. Many people find success with home remedies for their brittle nails, so this is worth a try!
Warm some coconut oil and then rub this onto each nail. Massage this for around five minutes into the cuticles on the nail. This is meant to improve blood circulation and keep the nails moisturized. This can be done two to three times per day.
Mix water and equal amounts of apple cider vinegar. Soak your nails in this solution for a few minutes. Afterwards, dry these off and push back the cuticles. You can do this for a few days, daily and the nails will become stronger.
Vitamin E oil is meant to moisturize the nails. To use this, take a Vitamin E capsule and extract the oil from this. Apply this to the nails before ebbed, and massage this into the nail bed. You will want to do this daily for a couple of weeks and you will notice the change!
This is an herb that is known for containing high amounts of silica which is needed for health and strong nails. You can add two teaspoons of this into a cup of hot water and seep this for 10 minutes. Once this is cool, soak your nails in this solution for around twenty minutes. This can be repeated three to four times per week.
Utilize tea tree oil with Vitamin E oil to help the overall effects. Massage this into the nailbed and leave this on the nail for at least 30 minutes. You can do this twice a month.
Take two tablespoon of fine grain sea salt and put this in a bowl of warm water. Add some essential oils like lemon and then soak your nails for around ten to fifteen minutes. You can do this two to three times per week if needed.
Lemon juice can make your brittle nails more healthier and make these appear better. You will want to miss one tablespoon of lemon juice to three tablespoons of olive oil. Put this onto the nails before bed, cover your hands with gloves, and then leave this overnight.
This is great for nail and hair growth. For those who are deficient in this, they are going to notice that their nails are brittle, along with having brittle hair. You can take this as a supplement or increase eating lean meats, seafoods and breakfast cereals that are fortified with zinc.
Iron can cause brittle nails. If you are afraid that you are iron deficient, eating more red meats, turkey and eggs can help with increasing these levels in your body.
Brittle nails may be due to the nails not growing as they should, and Vitamin C can help with this. You are going to find that eating Vitamin C in fruits is a great option, but many people decide to take this as a supplement.
This is a B-vitamin so a person could take a B-vitamin complex in order to get this supplement into their diet. Biotin can also be taken by itself. Biotin has often been called the hair and nail supplement that everyone needs to be taking!
Remember, a good multi-vitamin is something that all fibromyalgia sufferers need to take in order to keep their body in order.
Why Fibromyalgia Sufferers Deal with Brittle Nails?
Fibromyalgia sufferers find that their symptoms can register in different ways. There are several patients who find that brittle nails are one of the small issues that they deal with. While, other patients may find that they never have to deal with brittle nails.
This is why this illness is so strange. Many people all have similar symptoms, while others may show symptoms that are rare and only happen every now and then.
This is what makes this illness so hard for diagnosis, as many people take months to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Other illnesses have to be ruled out before handing down this diagnosis.
While brittle nails may not be something that most people worry about. For many, this appearance is something that makes the person feel uncomfortable.
Due to the other fibromyalgia issues that a person may have, people find that this is just another issue that they cannot control.
Having some control over these issues is what gives most people peace of mind. The good news is that you can talk with your doctor and discover what could be the issue for the brittle nails.
For many people, a blood test can tell if you are low on something that could be causing brittle nails, and this can be corrected with ease.
