Tell me more → Little Red Infinity Dress Tutorial | Sew Like My Mom February 14, 2011 I’m always searching for a beautiful, well-fitting, versatile dress, and I finally found it. In fact, I MADE it. I made my infinity dress in about 3 hours and for under $20! I found these infinity dresses on Craftster years ago and have always loved them. First, you need to do some measuring. So, 30/6.28 = 4.7. Then I decided on length of skirt and came up with 18″. To make your straps, you need to decide how wide to make them. To determine strap length, you need to make them 1.5 times your height. So, got that? To make your pattern, get packing paper, freezer paper, or a bunch of pieces of computer paper taped together. Then I measured 18″ down from that and made another line for my skirt length. Cut out on your lines. Now, keeping your fabric folded in half with selvages matched, fold the fabric in from the end so it’s doubled on itself. Next, cut a waistband 10″ tall and the length of your waist you measured. Next you’ll have to cut your straps. Get your straps.
Spread of Deadly Disease. Beware! Part 3 "Lyme Disease" The elderly population, children and people with low immune system are more at risk. It is advisable to seek medical attention immediately, instead of dismissing it as a case of common flu. They say treatment can be effective if the disease is caught early on. Lyme disease affects various parts of the body in different degrees as it advances. The part one of this article showed a short story I made about a small town that was unknowingly taken over by a strange disease they took for granted as the common flu, later causing pandemonium and rampant deaths which took the CDC officials by surprise. Lyme disease is medically described to have 3 stages as: (1) early localized disease with skin inflammation; (2) early disseminated disease with heart and nervous system involvement, including palsies and meningitis; and (3) late disease featuring motor and sensory nerve damage and brain inflammation as well as arthritis. Some tips given by the CDC included the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
6 Simple Yoga Stretches for Daily De-Stressing :: Tips :: The 99 Percent We have a tradition at the Behance office called the “four o’clock stretch,” where we step away from our desks to do a few simple stretches and recharge. When energy is waning mid-afternoon, it’s pretty incredible how a little deep breathing and muscle movement can completely re-invent your mood. Below are a few of my favorite “office-friendly stretches.” 1. There is no aspect of relaxation more important than breathing. To begin square breathing, sit in a comfortable, upright position on the floor or in a chair. Repeat 10 times, going at your own pace: Inhale 2, 3, 4. 2. Interlace your fingers, and raise your arms above your head, with your palms facing upwards. 3. Stand with your feet hip-distance apart. Once you have the arm wrap going, look straight ahead and try to keep your elbows lifted. Unwrap your arms and hold them out to the side again. 4. Still standing with your feet hip-distance apart, reach your hands behind you, clasping them together in a fist at the base of your back.

Spread of Deadly Disease. Beware! Part 2 It is late fall, the hunting season has brought about great trade in the locality. A lot of people in this small North American town came down with flu-like symptoms and no one seemed to be alarmed. Despite the rampant health issues the people experienced, everyone was more distressed about the unexpected acorn crop problem, followed by the disturbing sudden increase in white-legged mouse population in the county. In few days, a family member comes down with a high fever, followed by the spread of an expanding reddish rash. A visiting scientist did some research and conducted interviews. You lean over and try to close his mouth. Sounds like a movie teaser from an upcoming horror movie, don’t you think?
Gregorian Bivolaru - Karma Yoga Translation from Romanian: Rodica Harabagiu Final correction of text: NATHA,Copenhagen, 1999 Motto: "In a state of detachment perform what has to be done, no matter what it is, and never wish to assume the fruits of your doings." Karma Yoga represents one of the four main classic forms of Yoga. Karma Yoga represents a starting point and is an essential part of the teachings of Bhagavad Gita, this serves as sufficient ground for its authenticity. Like all other forms of Yoga, the main and final purpose of Karma Yoga is to facilitate and accelerate the spiritual evolution of its persistent practitioner. The main difference from other forms of Yoga is that Karma Yoga can be practised well from the very beginning, and can be applied all the time, all day long, because it is applicable to all human activities. I should also emphasise that the practice of Karma Yoga does not exclude the simultaneous practice of one or more of the other forms of Yoga, but will amplify their efficiency.
