Recent reviews
Good 7.6 From 133 reviews
We were upgraded, which was a nice gesture. My Family had a great time at the hotel.Service was great and the staff were very helpful.
This hotel ticked all the important boxes for my recent family holiday. The rooms are big and spacious and had all the basic amenities you will expect at a 4 star hotel apartment. The reception area and some of the decor in the rooms could do with some modernising but overall, we really enjoyed our stay. I think we got value for the money we paid and I will be happy to stay in this hotel again. When booking a taxi, remember to specify your preference for a local taxi otherwise you will be steered towards a limousine which is essentially an identical car that charges three times as much for the same journey. Looks like hotel staff get some commission for this so they enthusiastically steer you in that direction.
Good place
Not as good as I thought it would be. Bit disappointing.
Nice hotel, good location for the Dhow Wharfs & Creek. Metro easy walk Good internet in rooms but not automatically free depends on booking on reception staff. An enjoyable stay at a good price

I am interested in purchasing some synthetic ice for my son to stand on with skates and practice shooting this summer. I have looked at many sites and products, but this one seems to be the best value.
http://www.polyglidesyntheticice.com/Po ... pg-pro.htm
My price range is around $200 and two sheets of this would do the trick for my 9 year old.
Does anyone have any experience with these kinds of products? Any suggestions?

An armed mob set out into the Florida Everglades on Saturday to flush out a scaly invader.
BIG CYPRESS NATIONAL PRESERVE | An armed mob set out into the Florida Everglades on Saturday to flush out a scaly invader.
It sounds like the second act of a sci-fi horror flick, but really, it's pretty much Florida's plan for dealing with an infestation of Burmese pythons that are eating their way through a fragile ecosystem.
Nearly 800 people signed up for the monthlong Python Challenge that started Saturday afternoon. The vast majority — 749 — lack the permits usually required to harvest pythons on public lands.
"We feel like anybody can get out in the Everglades and figure out how to try and find these things," said Nick Wiley, executive director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "It's very safe, getting out in the Everglades. People do it all the time."
Twenty-eight python permit holders joined the hunt at several locations in the Everglades. The state is offering cash prizes to whoever brings in the longest python and whoever bags the most by the time the competition ends at midnight Feb. 10.
Dozens of would-be python hunters showed up for some last-minute training in snake handling Saturday morning at the University of Florida Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center in Davie.
The training came down to common sense: Drink water, wear sunscreen, don't get bitten by anything and don't shoot anyone.
Many of the onlookers dressed in camouflage, though they probably didn't have to worry about spooking the snakes. They would have a much harder time spotting the splotchy, tan pythons in the long green grasses and woody brush of the Everglades.
"It's advantage snake," mechanical engineer Dan Keenan concluded after slashing his way through a quarter-mile of scratchy sawgrass, dried leaves and woody overgrowth near a campsite in the Big Cypress National Preserve.
Keenan, of Merritt Island, and friend Steffani Burd of Melbourne, a statistician in computer security, holstered large knives and pistols on their hips so they'd be ready for any python that crossed their path. The snakes can grow to more than 20 feet in length.
The most useful tool they had, though, was the key fob to their car. Burd wanted to know that they hadn't wandered too far into the wilderness, so Keenan clicked the fob until a reassuring beep from their car chirped softly through the brush.
The recommended method for killing pythons is the same as for killing zombies: a gunshot to the brain, or decapitation to reduce the threat. (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals doesn't approve of the latter method.)
Pythons are kind of the zombies of the Everglades, though their infestation is less deadly to humans. The snakes have no natural predators, they can eat anything in their way, they can reproduce in large numbers and they don't belong here.
Florida prohibits possession or sale of the pythons for use as pets, and federal law bans the importation and interstate sale of the species.
Roughly 2,050 pythons have been harvested in Florida since 2000, according to the conservation commission.

Challah on the Shabbat During Passover?
April 18, 2014
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Judaic message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, April 18, 2014.
Challah on the Shabbat During Passover?
Of course...
But it isn't what you think. Since we are commanded to eat Matzah during the whole week of Passover (8 days in traditional homes outside of Israel), we clearly can't have a regular yeast based challah! What IS Challah, after all? In the days after the destruction of the Temple by the Romans in the year 70, the Challah symbolizes the sacrifices that were offered in the Temple – including the bread sacrifice. To make Challah kosher for ritual, the cook must take a portion of the raw dough and throw it into the fire to be burned up. (For more information about the origin of Challah, click here to see the JCC Shabbat Message from November 15, 2013)
However, we're told in Exodus, chapter 13:6-8 (and other places in the Torah):
Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread... Throughout the seven days, unleavened bread shall be eaten; no leavened bread shall be found with you, and no leaven shall be found in all your territory. And you shall explain to your son on that day, 'it is because of what the Lord did for me when I went free from Egypt.'
And yet... we're expected to eat challah during the Sabbath as a symbol of the sacrifices! What's a Jew to do? The answer to this conundrum is... the Matzah IS the Challah! Just like the Shabbat Challah has a portion separated from it that makes it proper to be served on the Sabbath, so does the matzah. Since almost no one bakes their own matzah at home, the companies that make matzah do this at the bakery. If you study the labels on your box of matzah at home, you'll find a statement in the fine print that says "Challah is taken" or some other language to the effect that the laws of Challah have been followed. That means that the bakers have separated a piece of the dough when preparing the matzah, making the matzah useable for the Sabbath.
Shabbat Shalom, and Happy Passover.


text: Hey guys. Piper is 9 months now. I wanted to begin some early training for agility and was wondering where to start? Obviously since she is so young and still growing I don't want her doing anything hardcore but would like to start introducing the idea to her. She is very fast and loves to chase me so we have been doing a lot of that. Any suggestions?

Just getting out of the chair and moving a little may help ward off type 2 diabetes among individuals at risk even more than engaging in strenuous physical activity, British researchers found.
After adjustment for potential confounders such as body mass index (BMI), time spent sedentary was significantly correlated with negative metabolic factors including 2-hour glucose level (β = 0.220, P<0.001), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (β = −0.123, P=0.029), and triglycerides (β = 0.206, P=0.001), according to Joseph Henson, PhD, of the University of Leicester, and colleagues.
Time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity also was associated with those metabolic factors and with BMI and waist circumference, but after adjustment for sedentary time, the association with glucose, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides was no longer significant, the researchers reported online in Diabetologia.
This weaker association with moderate-to-vigorous activity suggested that individuals at risk for diabetes should be "encouraged to simply sit less and move more, regardless of the intensity level," they wrote.
During the past 10 years there has been an increased focus on sedentary behavior as a risk factor for chronic disease independent of vigorous physical activity, with the realization that different physiometabolic pathways are involved, such as lipoprotein lipase metabolism.
But previous research into sedentary behavior and health outcomes has relied on self-reports and has not considered factors such as age and specific disease risk factors.
Earlier studies also have not examined the effects of taking breaks from sedentary behavior, when individuals simply get up from sitting or lying down and move around.
Therefore, Henson's group analyzed data from two diabetes prevention trials, the Walking Away from Type 2 Diabetes Study, a lifestyle intervention among middle-age and older adults, and Project STAND, an educational and monitoring study of young at-risk adults.
Participants wore triaxial accelerometers that measured activity, translating acceleration data into activity counts per 15-second intervals.
Counts below 25 per 15 seconds were considered sedentary, between 25 and 488 were light-intensity activity, and more than 488 were moderate-to-vigorous activity.
The data analysis also included total physical activity and counts of breaks in sedentary times, which were 15-second periods when activity counts shifted from below to above 25.
The study incuded 153 participants from Project STAND, whose mean age was 33 and who were predominantly female, and 725 from Walking Away, whose mean age was 64 and who were mostly male.
The analysis identified inverse associations between total physical activity and numerous factors relating to cardiovascular and metabolic health, including 2-hour glucose (β = −0.164, P<0.001), triglycerides (β = −0.173, P<0.001), HDL cholesterol (β = 0.160, P<0.001), and total cholesterol to HDL ratio (β = −0.126, P<0.001).
Total physical activity also correlated with BMI (β = −0.281, P<0.001) and waist circumference (β = −0.270, P<0.001), but after adjustment for sedentary time, the only significant association remaining for total activity was with HDL cholesterol.
Breaks in sedentary time had an inverse correlation with 2-hour glucose (β = −0.111, P=0.046), BMI (β = −0.151, P=0.003), and waist circumference (β = −0.215, P<0.001), but the association of breaks with 2-hour glucose was lost after additional adjustment for BMI.
Further analysis also found stronger associations in the older cohort for moderate-to-vigorous activity, total physical activity, and breaks in sedentary time with BMI and and waist circumference.
The findings of this study are in accord with some other investigations of the effects of sedentary behavior and "provide preliminary evidence that sedentary behavior may be a more effective paradigm to target in the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus, rather than solely focusing on [moderate-to-vigorous physical activity]," observed Henson and colleagues.
Encouraging patients at risk for diabetes would be "an innovative approach that requires a paradigm shift, so that individuals think about the balance of sedentary behavior and activity in all aspects of daily life," they wrote.
The study was limited by being cross-sectional, so reverse causality cannot be ruled out. In addition, accelerometers may underestimate certain types of movement.
This work was funded by the Medical Research Council and the Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care.
The authors reported no conflicts of interest.

I don't say that lightly. Yes, there were a lot of people there. Yes, there were great presenters. Yes, the exhibtors had products and services that would help any genealogist. But there were other factors at play that made this a great experience.
Here's what I liked that you might want to consider if you are planning, and you should, to go to the FGS 2012 conference in Alabama.
exhibitors. There were books vendors (yay!) and all kinds of libraries, archives and societies. There were new exhibitors including Catalyst Consulting, Accessible Archives, PhotoTree and HistoryGeo. And of course there were plenty of old favorites like RootsMagic, Family Tree Magazine, Family Chronicle, APG, NGS, National Institute for Genealogical Studies and more. Overall, a great vendor hall with information, services, and products.
Recorded Presentations. Let's face it, even those of us who get to go to the conference aren't able to go to all of the presentations we want to. That's the great thing about having recordings available. It's ok if there are two presentations you want to hear at the same time or that you felt ill and went to your hotel or you overslept. Recordings have the added bonus of allowing you to listen to presentations over and over again. Something that can help you absorb the information in your long term (or longer term) memory.
Didn't get to go to the conference? No problem, just order the recordings that interest you. To peruse the available recordings made at FGS 2011 see the website for Fleetwood Onsite Conference Recording. Recordings are available on a CD or as a MP3 file.
I'm a big believer in buying conference recordings and I use them in my continuing genealogical education.
There was lots to do. There was so much one could do at the FGS conference. Presentations, luncheons, tours, live radio shows and even GenSpiration sessions that allowed participants to hold impromptu discussions on genealogical topics. Anyone could lead/moderate one of these discussions and it is a good way to get together and delve more into a topic. Official FGS blogger, Amy Coffin held a GenSpiration session and discusses it here.
There were other extras that were nice including the Cyber Cafe made possible by RootsMagic that included computers and printers for printing out handouts, checking email and surfing the web. There was even some couches for those who need a minute to sit down and chat with other conference participants.
When you go to a conference, budget some extra days to either play tourist or to research. We had added an additional two days to see the sites and they didn't disappoint. There were also numerous research opportunities that were available. It's easier to take advantage of these opportunities when you are already there than to say "well, I will do it one day...."
Do your homework in advance of the conference by calling the convention and visitor's bureau. They can tell you about local restaurants, discounts to attractions and other insider info. They will even send you maps and other brochures. A special thanks to the Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau who helped me with directions and information.
I also found out later that Springfield has made other important food contributions including being the home of where corn dogs were first served on a stick. Unfortunately, I only found out about The Cozy Dog and it's role in hot dog history when I got home.
In Conclusion. So what would I change about the conference? Really, nothing. I think the conference organizers did a fabulous job. Things were well done and it looked like everyone had a great conference experience. A lot of work goes on before a conference happens from staff to volunteers to local groups. Conferences are a lot of hard work and I appreciate everything that was done.
I think my only enhancement suggestion is to help those who are overwhelmed with all the information they have heard in presentations. Have a room with a genealogy video/videos playing on a loop where people can sit, relax, still learn about genealogy but chill for a bit. Hey, there can even be popcorn. Maybe this would be something FamilySearch can sponsor and use some of their research courses or other videos. (hint, hint).
Yes, a conference is an all around experience. Of course it's an important time to network, learn and discover but it is also a time to explore new places, foods and sights.

Locals are invited to get together with friends, family and community members for a joint reading experience.
Locals are invited to get together with friends, family and community members for a joint reading experience.
The Houma Regional Arts Council is hosting its sixth Big Read event, inviting residents to pick up a copy of Tim O'Brien's Vietnam War novel "The Things They Carried."
The book is a collection of interrelated stories about the war written by O'Brien, who is a Vietnam veteran.
The Big Read will kick off Feb. 22, with events planned from February through June.
"The last five years of the Big Read have been very successful in engaging the people in our area to read these classic American novels," said Glenda Toups, Houma Regional Arts Council executive director. "It's our honor and a pleasure to bring quality arts and cultural programming to the region, and the Big Read allows us to continue to support the literary arts in the communities of south Louisiana."
Toups said that each year the Houma Regional Arts Council picks a book it hopes will intrigue a different part of the reading community. March 23 will mark the 40th anniversary of the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Houma is home to many veterans, and in addition, reading rates among older adults of the Vietnam generation have declined.
O'Brien's 1990 novel is considered one of the top literary novels about the Vietnam War.
The book's narrator follows a platoon of infantrymen through the jungles of Vietnam. The award-winning book is a brutal, sometimes funny, often profound narrative about the human heart and how it fares under pressure and what it can endure, according to the arts council.
The arts council will be giving out book guides, audio guides and copies of the novel to encourage people to read and discuss "The Things They Carried."
The council is also planning a series of events for this year's Big Read, including a kick-off event featuring '60s music, forums with local Vietnam veterans sharing their experiences and screenings of the PBS series "American Experience: Vietnam" at local libraries.
O'Brien will also serve as the keynote speaker at the Terrebonne Parish Main Library's Jambalaya Writers Conference on April 13.
The Houma Regional Arts Council was one of 78 groups nationwide that have been selected to participate this year. Toups said that the program reaches thousands of readers each year in the six-parish area covered by the council.
Previous Big Read selections include Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," Ernest J. Gaines' "A Lesson Before Dying," Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" and "Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich.
The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts designed to restore reading to American culture.
Selected Big Read organizations receive grants ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 to promote and carry out community-based reading programs. The Houma Regional Arts Council received a $16,000 grant to administer the program.
"At the NEA we know that the arts can help to create strong, vibrant communities by bringing people together," said Chairman Rocco Landesman. "Through The Big Read, these 78 organizations are giving their communities the opportunity to share both great works of literature and memorable experiences."

In May 2012, the Brookings Institution hosted a roundtable discussion with leaders from the international foundation community and foreign policy experts on the situation in Russia. The high-level discussions covered Russia's internal trajectory (including the development of its civil society sector), Russia's external relations, and U.S.-Russia relations. These discussions took place at the very beginning of Putin's third term as president of Russia, and thus do not reflect subsequent developments of mid-2012, including new laws and regulations restricting rallies and demonstrations, recriminalizing slander, on child pornography and the Internet, and on foreign funding for NGOs.
Participants in the discussion included Carnegie Corporation of New York, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Eurasia Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Oak Foundation, and Open Society Foundations.

Designed for a family of five, the clients wanted a house that responded to the land's topography. A 1920s stables to the rear of the site was to be restored into a studio. Located on the southern side of Prospect Terrace in Mt Eden, the 15m wide x 72m long rectangle slopes from the street downwards towards the rear boundary, set back 10m from the street.
S House differs from the standard villa because of its compact form and central circulation, with the elongated plan allowing for an extensive surface connection with the landscape. The activities of the house take place across a singular spine corridor which expands and contracts spatially as the house mediates the site, creating the contradictory east native garden and the west exotic sculpted garden.
The complementary gardens are connected by the children's play area and bedrooms which occur at the turning point 'knuckles' of the plan, opening up to the two 'parent' gardens. Stained cedar clads the exterior of the house, with a corrugated iron roof forming a continuous series of hips and valleys. The internal palette is black and white with a black oxide concrete floor and built in furniture.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is being recognized for an innovation that makes our data easier for people to access.
The Center for Digital Government is presenting BEA with its 2012 Driving Digital Government Award at an event today in San Francisco. BEA was honored for its interactive data tables, which are available on BEA's public Web site.
The interactive tables provide a uniform way to tap into BEA data. They also make it easy to create, customize, and modify tables; create custom charts; share tables and charts via social media; download data to files; and save queries. This year, BEA added a mapping function for regional data.
The award recognizes outstanding government agency Web sites and applications based on innovation, functionality, and efficiency.
The Center for Digital Government is a national research and advisory institute on information technology policies and best practices in state and local government. The center is a division of e.Republic, a national publishing, event, and research company focused on smart media for public-sector innovation.
BEA launched the interactive data tables on www.bea.gov in 2011 as part of a drive to make BEA data as open as possible.
Building on that effort, the Census Bureau rolled out its first mobile app in August that includes BEA data—specifically gross domestic product, personal income and spending, and U.S. trade in goods and services—a report that is produced jointly with Census.

With public schools battling budget cuts year after year, the Foundation of La Jolla High School is fighting back by reviving its "Conquer the Cuts" fundraising program to counter the challenges ahead.
"Budget cuts affecting San Diego city schools like La Jolla High School have become all too familiar. Every school year brings with it a new set of budget cuts and obstacles to surmount," said Jeff Macelli, president of the Foundation of La Jolla High School. "This year's campaign will require the support of everyone in our community, from parents to local business owners."
The foundation will maintain all proceeds donated to Counter the Cuts II and distribute funds to the school based on its most immediate needs. Funds raised in the past have gone to new technology, grounds beautification, and restoring and improving athletic fields, the auditorium and other buildings.
"This year the foundation has been asked to fund items that historically you would expect your tax dollars to provide: textbooks, classroom equipment, school supplies, campus maintenance and teaching staff," said Macelli. "The foundation will work hard to make sure that every dollar you contribute goes directly to continuing the tradition of academic excellence at La Jolla High School."
So far, the foundation has raised $53,000, more than one-third of the way toward its $150,000 goal.
"We're off to a great start, but we still have a long way to go," he said.
Anyone interested in making a donation can visit www.ljhs.sandi.net/foundation.

Art & Wine Fest an overwhelming success
For two days, masterful works of juried art, the sweet sound of live music and world-renowned libations hit the streets for the fourth annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival on Oct. 13 and 14 on upper Girard Avenue. This year, the charity-driven festival was successful in raising more than $100,000 from the free event to support underfunded programs at four public La Jolla schools. Including funds raised from this year's two-day event, organizers of the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival and their community partners have been successful in raising more than $220,000 for art, music, science, physical education, technology and on-site medical care programs at Muirlands Middle School and Bird Rock, La Jolla and Torrey Pines elementary schools over the past four years.

West Nile virus found in dead crow
A dead crow found in La Jolla has tested positive for West Nile virus, announced San Diego County vector control officials announced on Oct. 30. The infected crow is the first bird detected with the virus in San Diego this year.
Despite cooling temperatures, county environmental health officials are urging residents to protect themselves from mosquito bites by wearing long sleeves, pants and insect repellant when outdoors, particularly at dawn and dusk, and keeping screen doors and windows closed and in good condition. Officials also ask residents to prevent mosquito breeding by dumping out or removing potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes, like plant saucers, rain gutters and other backyard water sources. Some San Diego locations are even offering free mosquito fish, which may be used to control mosquito breeding in still water sources nearby. Finally, vector control officials urge residents to report dead birds and green swimming pools to the county at (858) 694-2888. For more information about West Nile virus or to search locations for free mosquito fish, visit www.SDFightThe-Bite.com or sign up to receive the latest West Nile virus text message updates by texting PEST to 75309 on your cell phone.

Donaldson Company, Inc.
November 27, 2002
Mr. Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
Re: File No. S7-40-02
Dear Mr. Katz:
I am a member of the Board of Directors of Donaldson Company, Inc. (DCI), a NYSE listed company located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Donaldson recognizes the importance of good corporate governance and supports the objectives and principles of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the Act).
I am writing this comment letter because I believe that the Commission's proposed rule implementing the "financial expert" provision of the Act is too narrow and goes beyond what is needed to accomplish the desired results and comply with the Act. I am concerned that the proposed "financial expert" rule over-regulates and could result in fewer qualified directors serving on the audit committee and ultimately reducing the quality of Board participation and contribution.
I believe that the SEC should recognize in its final rule that "performance" is included in the "supervision" of people who directly perform the preparing and auditing of financial statements of reporting companies. Similarly, experience reviewing or analyzing financial statements of a reporting company also should be sufficient.
For example, a CEO of a reporting company regularly performs this review and analysis, including in connection with the certifications under the Act. The critical factor is that the "financial expert" understands the preparation of audited financial statements and understands whether those financial statements accurately reflect the financial position of the business.
As a Board member, I applaud the SEC's efforts to push issues to upgrade the qualifications, diligence and integrity of boards and audit committees. The suggested changes to the proposed financial expert definition will further the goals of the Act and the efforts of the Commission.

Scuderia Ferrari zippered sweatshirt for teens
Scuderia Ferrari Store Exclusive
This zippered sweatshirt for teens, in 100% pure cotton, comes with a practical hood lined in yellow jersey.
It is both durable and practical. These are the main features of this soft Scuderia Ferrari sweatshirt for teens with a full zipper and pockets. This basic item of clothing for teens is transformed into a particularly charming piece thanks to the inclined zipper, similar to some leather jacket styles. And the blue perforated fabric inserts on the elbows and on the central part of the hood give this Scuderia Ferrari sweatshirt a decidedly "rock" look. Just like the lining on the hood, the fabric zipper pull, the outline of the new patch with the dark gray Shield and the Scuderia Ferrari print on the back are all yellow.
- Inclined full zipper
- Hood
- Ferrari Shield
- Composition: 100% Cotton

BABSON PARK, Mass. - MIT senior Leslie Harris has been named the NEWMAC Women's Tennis Singles Player of the Week. Hansen posted a 2-1 record at this weekend's ITA Women's New England Regional Championship hosted by MIT. Last year's runner-up, Hansen won her first two matches in straight sets over opponents from Middlebury and Smith. In the third round, Hansen won the first set over Williams' Kristin Alotta but Alotta, who would advance to win the individual title, rallied to win [2-6, 6-0 (10-8)]. Hasen's singles record has improved to 3-1 on the season.

Peter W. Marks 1/5/2009 4:48:02 AMHi Susie! Well thank you for setting me off on another nostalgia trip! These same red cliffs just a few miles further west along the coast would have me standing with my head out of the train window getting my first smell of wonderful sea air. Those same red sandstone cliffs at Dawlish, the sea, right beside the tracks perhaps more often more grey than blue but it meant I was going home to Cornwall from college in London. Wonderful memories of the steam locomotives that hauled the trains (Hey, we are talking 1955 here!) and what did it matter that one got the occasional bit of soot in the eyes as the train wended its way through all the little tunnels in those red cliffs -I was less than a hundred miles from home.
Susie Peek-Swint 1/5/2009 5:17:22 AMThanks Peter ~ glad I can set you off on another nostalgia trip .. especially about the train .. when I lived in St Ives I loved taking the train ~ non-stop to Exeter then stopping at every little station getting me closer to my destination ~ and the sea! Memories!! #6984411

We gave away tickets this morning to Saturday's Saints game (hi, Matthew!) and to Dark Star Orchestra. We previewed the third edition of Sweet Relief, appropriately through Victoria Williams' contribution to the eclectic collection of singer-songwriters. We also heard Tina Schlieske's incredible rendition of "With a Little Help From My Friends" on that album. Check the playlist for more audio travels from Flamenco to local to new music from Owen.
New music from The Garifuna Collective, Jimmy Cliff's new live KCRW session record, Robert Pollard and more!
We had a lovely conversation in the first hour with Shirli McAllen, vocalist and songwriter for Leftover Cuties, playing at the Dakota Wednesday, July 17th. We also had a great first set with new Austra into local The Dirty Banks into Spoon. A set like that really brings out the radio nerd in your host… Check the playlist for new David Lynch, Future Bible Heroes and more!
New music kicked off the show from Mavis Staples on the heels of her great, hour-plus long performance at the Minnesota Zoo—she's coming back with Bonnie Raitt in October! We also heard singer-songwriter Red Sammy, new Hot Chip and new Austra, coming to the Triple Rock September 1st.
New music from Pocahontas County this morning (thanks, Justin!) as well as Kermit Ruffins and our friends from Kansas City, Moreland & Arbuckle. Their new album on Telarc is out this week and what a surprise in the Tears for Fears cover—and it works!

A big, colorful bus sponsored by Network, a Catholic social justice lobby based in Washington, D.C., stopped in Dubuque, Iowa, on June 19, the second day of a 15-day tour through nine states called "Nuns on the Bus: Nuns Drive for Faith, Family and Fairness." The bus parked outside Maria House, which provides emergency transitional housing for women, to highlight the work of Catholic sisters and their collaborators, whose ministries serve the poor. "We come today to speak out, to complain that the House budget proposed by Congressman [Paul] Ryan is wrong, wrong, wrong," said Simone Campbell, of the Sisters of Social Service, the executive director of Network. She said the country's debt is not due to Social Security and Medicare benefits but resulted from starting two wars and not raising taxes to pay for them. "We need to be responsible; we need to pay for the programs we believe in, and we need to invest in the future," said Sister Campbell. "That's what a faithful budget would do."

Do you ever just need a hand getting a grip on a hard throbbing problem? Well never fear, sex fans, Dr Dick is here to lend a hand…or two to all you sexually worrisome out there.
Name: Jose
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Location: Norwalk, CT
how can i approuch a good stripper to get into sex? even tho they just stripper some make rule but if stripper off work, would some of them willing to do it?
I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess that English is not your first language, right Jose? I think I understand what you are asking. Let's just hope that the women you approach will also understand you meaning.
So OK, you know this fine stripper and you want to have sex with her, right? Alrighty then! First thing you oughta know is that not all strippers are hookers. Some simply strip because they make good money. And don't sell sex, well because they don't have to. The ones that do sell sex, don't do so where they strip. It's bad for business and, I also hasten to point out, it's against the law.
There are two good ways to go about this hunt for stripper sex. First, you could ask the vixen out on a real date. I think this is the best way of going about gettin laid by any woman. If this particular woman is available for a sexual liaison, and you're not a totally creepy dick-head, she might take you up on the offer. Just remember, some stripping establishments prohibit their strippers from fucking with customers. If that's the policy at the joint you frequent, let it go. Don't pester the woman for something that will jeopardize her job. If she does accept the date, and all goes well, and you charm the pants off her, you might just get a little bump and tickle. I hope we're clear on the concept that if any woman, especially a sex worker, accepts a dinner invitation it is not the same thing as saying she'll fuck you, right? GOOD!
The second option is to ask the stripper if she does escort work on the side. Again, some stripping establishments prohibit their strippers from fraternizing with customers in any way, shape or form, especially fucking them. You ought to know that if the woman in question is indeed an escort as well as a stripper, your "date" with her is gonna cost ya, don't 'cha know. These women are professionals; you'd do well to treat them with the respect you'd offer any professional woman.
Never, under any circumstance, offer to pay this woman…or any woman…for sex. That would be inviting prostitution, and that's against the law — except if you're in Nevada. If the woman in question is an escort, she will be exchanging her time and expertise for money; not sex for money. Get it? If she's smart she won't give you a second chance to get this right if you fuck up asking her the first time.
My advice to you is, figure out ahead of time which way you want to go — date or escort. Then approach her like a gentleman. If she's not interested, respect her decision to decline your offer with some grace and dignity.
Good luck
Name: john
Age: 22
Location: california
my penis when erect is slightly bent to left what should i do? will there be any problem while having sex?
You haven't seen a lot of stiffies on other guys, have you John? Most straight guys are unaware of how their cock compares to other dude's. If a guy, like you, doesn't have a frame of reference, so to speak, he may even think his unit is abnormal. The fact is many men have curved cocks. Some curve to the left, and others to the right. Some curve up, some curve down.
You're clear on the concept of what creates wood, right? An erection occurs when two tubular structures that run the length of the penis, the corpora cavernosa, become engorged with blood. Imagine your cock is a baloon with two separate inflatable tubes on either side. If you put more air pressure on one side of the balloon than the other, the baloon will curve. Simple as all that! Many guys believe that a bent cock is caused by wearing tight briefs instead of boxers or that it's caused by circumcision. These are myths. However, excessive, rough or heavy-handed masturbation during one's youth can promote a curvature later in life. That's why I always promote handling one's pecker with care.
Since you say your dick curves only slightly to the left, I'm pretty sure this natural variation won't be a problem in partnered sex.
Good luck
Name: Bryan
Age: 25
Location: Melbourne, Australia
I live about 45 mins outside the city and have always had a weight problem. I found that the easiest way for me to get off (or the only option for a long time) was to meet guys at beats or online. These were never really guys that I found attractive, and ones that I felt that I was simply resorting to to fulfil my needs. I also found myself taking a submissive role rather than my preferred top, just in order to get sex. Now that I am older, I am able to meet guys that I actually like, however I find that it takes forever for me to come. I like being active but I can never come just from sex, and even when I get head jobs, I cant come just from head jobs, I end up needing to jerk myself off and it takes a very very long time. I cant help but be cerebral and need to think for a long time to create a scene, something that I needed to do when I didnt find the guys attractive, but I cant stop this now when I actually do like them. Also, I cant come unless I am lying on my back and jerking off. Which is difficult as I like being dominant and active. A part of me thinks that it's because I jerk off too much, or because I have needed to play the submissive role for so long. I have spoken to friends and the idea that because I dont find feminine guys attractive and the very role of having anal sex psychologically associates the other guy as taking a feminine role within my head and thus a turn off has been suggested. Whereas some friends have said that maybe I just dont feel that I deserve to be able to take that active role because of my attachments to past sexual experiences in my earlier youth. Im studying some psychology at university and am trying to make sense of it all but I just cant, and I am tired of apologising to guys when they cant make me cumm from blow jobs or sex, and that I have to do it myself and they are detached to the role of a lesser important role of oral contact in another manner just so that they are involved in someway in the process. I just want to be able to come while having sex or having a blow job and not lying on my back, and not taking forever and a day. I do like these guys that I am seeing now, and this issue I feel has always put pressure on my sexual relationships.
I caution you to not read too much into your inability to cum through oral sex, or than in any other position than on your back. No need to psychoanalyze yourself or look too deeply into your sexual past to find the root of this problem. While you mindset and your past behaviors may impact on your current performance, you should know that lots of men, with very different sexual histories than yours, have a similar inability to cum in any other way than on their back and with their own hand.
If this is so disturbing for you, you can learn different behaviors that may, in time, allow you to cum in the position and by an activity that you prefer — like standing up for a blow job. But I suggest that you'll never accomplish this if you think you are defective, or that some deep psychological trauma is the root of your dissatisfaction.
Why not just chalk your concerns up to a natural variation on male sexual response cycle. Expanding one's sexual repertoire is best accomplished with some patience and a whole lot of practice. Being ashamed of yourself or belittling yourself for what you perceive as an inadequacy will completely sabotage any effort you might make to change your sexual patterns.
Good luck

Helping HIV Infected Patients in South Africa Adhere to Drug Regimens
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

Three or more anti-HIV drugs are taken in combination as part of a treatment regimen. These drug regimens must be closely followed in order to be successful. Having a support person watch a patient take his or her anti-HIV drugs each day may help a patient follow his or her regimen. This study will see if patient-chosen treatment supporters help patients take HIV medicines correctly and improve their health.
Study hypothesis: The mean change in CD4 count at 12 and 24 months will be significantly higher in the directly observed therapy-highly active antiretroviral therapy (DOT-HAART) arm as compared to the self-administered arm.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Behavioral: Directly Observed Therapy
|Phase 2
South Africa has one of the worst and fastest growing HIV epidemics in the world. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has been shown both at the individual and public health levels to reduce morbidity, mortality, and vertical and possibly horizontal HIV transmission. However, expenses, feasibility, long-term adherence, and effective delivery of HAART remain formidable barriers, particularly in developing nations. Recently, international initiatives have provided hope for widespread use of HAART at affordable cost in sub-Saharan Africa. Simplified, once-daily HAART regimens with directly observed therapy (DOT) may help to achieve high levels of treatment adherence, a key component for long-term viral suppression and treatment success. Peer advocates have been used to improve adherence with medical therapies in a variety of settings. This study will evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of DOT using patient-nominated peer supervisors to improve adherence to HAART in HIV infected adults in South Africa.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either Peer-DOT-HAART or self-administration of a once-daily combination of the Western Cape Province ART program medications for 24 months. Study measures will include CD4 cell count and HIV viral load, adherence questionnaires, genotypic HAART resistance testing, and incidence of new or recurrent opportunistic infections.

Benefit to be held for voice of Pirate radio, Dane Gregg
A benefit will be held Sunday, April 28 at the Knights of Columbus Hall for long time Pirate Radio Network and KWRT announcer Dane Gregg who has recently been undergoing treatment for cancer and heart issues. A lunch of spaghetti and salad, bread and dessert will be served between 12-2:30 p.m. A live auction will begin at 3 p.m. The suggested donation will be $7 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Children three and younger eat free.
Close friend to Gregg, Aletha Odneal, is chairing the benefit. Odneal said Gregg and his wife Jackie were some of the first people she got to know after moving to Boonville 32 years ago. She said the generosity she learned with them is the same generosity she wants to give back to them when they need it most. Odneal said the benefit is intended to help Gregg and his family in their time of need since they have helped so many others in need.
"Dane suffered two heart attacks and since has been having blood pressure problems. After being admitted to the hospital for further testing the doctors discovered he had esophageal cancer. A plan of treatment was established and began. During the treatment his feeding tube became infected and he was admitted again and another scan was done, only to find out this week that the cancer had spread. Right away Dane said he wanted to fight it with all he had so the doctors changed there plan of attack and have chosen to treat the cancer rapidly," Odneal said.
Odneal said Gregg and and his family's hearts are bigger than their bodies. "Dane has been involved in Habitat for Humanity, served on the board for the food bank and of course is the DJ on KWRT where he is loved by many," Odneal said.
Odneal said 100 percent of the food has been donated for the benefit, which is enough to feed 500 people. Odneal has also designed Team Dane T-shirts to sell with all of the proceeds going to the Gregg family.
"Cancer is not contagious but my fighting spirit is, is the slogan we will be using for Dane as we continue to cheer him on until he beats this cancer," Odneal said.
To find out more about the benefit please contact Odneal at Designing Women at 660-882-8533 or at 816-714-8100 or email her at email@example.com.

Matrilineal Monday: A mother lost: Mary Fitzpatrick Ball
They say that women learn how to be mothers from their own mothers, but for my mother the lessons never took place, because she was only five years old when her mother died. Mary Angela Fitzpatrick Ball died of blood poisoning, the result of an infection at the site of a cut, possibly made by the very tiny fingernails of her young baby John.
My mother's memories are the memories of a five year old child. She does not recall the neighbourhood women coming to the house to prepare the body and lay out her mother in the bed Mary Ball shared with her husband for almost sixteen years. All of the mirrors were covered over with black crepe fabric, the death announcements were rimmed in black paper, and each man wore a black arm band on his sleeve, but these details are not recalled by my mother. Intellectually she knows each one of these rituals were a part of that day, but her memories are the emotional memories of a child.
There was a very pretty dress donned for the occasion; Mom does not recall its colour, only the white lace collar that felt slightly itchy against her skin. My mother and her sisters wore pristine white knee socks and black hornpipe shoes. She remembers the stilled faces of the adults, and their hushed conversation. She remembers standing on tip-toes with her sisters Bernadette and Kathleen, looking out the window each time the funeral cortege passed their house, as it ritually circled the block once, twice, three times. She remembers the muscular black horses, the steam emitting from their noses, the tall black plumes which crowned each of their heads, the sound their hooves made as they struck the cobbled pavement. For my mother these moments are locked in time.
My maternal grandmother Mary Fitzpatrick Ball died 18 December 1936, seven days before Christmas. Penicillin, which could have saved her, was invented in 1928, a full eight years before her death, but it was not widely available, so she was not treated with it. When we talk about the loss of my grandmother I never mention how unfair it was, because somehow that detail seemed unimportant. Only the memories of this five year old girl matter.
Maria (pronounced Mariah) 'Mary' Angela Fitzpatrick was born 22 June 1894 in Swords, County Dublin, Ireland. She was the second born child, and the first born daughter, of Thomas Fitzpatrick and Maria Hynes Fitzpatrick. For almost sixteen years she was married to Patrick Ball, for whom she bore eight children. When she died Mary was 42 years old. Her youngest child John was less than a year old, and her youngest daughter Kathleen was two; neither one has any memory of her. Her eldest son Anthony had just turned thirteen.

What a sad, sad story...I'm surprised that at the age of 5 your mother had the memories she had of this terrible event. We are blessed today that modern medicine has come as far as it has...ReplyDelete
Such a sad story, but you tell it so eloquently. Thanks to you and your mother for sharing it with us.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad that you have preserved your mother's memories; this is one of those accounts that will truly help your grandmother's descendants to understand life and death in those days. Beautifully written and very touching.ReplyDelete

Thank you for sharing this and preserving your mother's memories of her mom. It was a very moving story told from the perspective of a child - which is not a perspective we often get to hear.ReplyDelete

The principal sources of MEG (magnetoencephalogram) and EEG (electroencephalogram) are
synchronous synaptic currents in the cerebral cortex. MEG and EEG provide an instantaneous view of neural activity and thus are complementary to fMRI.
The combination of MEG/EEG with fMRI provides images of brain activity with high temporal as well as
spatial resolution.
Our MEG Core facility is equipped with a Neuromag Vectorview system, comprising 306 MEG channels (2 planar gradiometers and a magnetometer at each of 102 sites) and 128 EEG channels, located within an Imedco magnetically shielded room. Computer-controlled visual, auditory, and somatosensory stimulation systems as well as behavioral response monitoring are available in the laboratory. Our analysis software allows smooth integration of MEG, EEG, anatomical MRI, and fMRI data.

In the British Isles the rowan has a long and still popular history in folklore as a tree which protects against witchcraft and enchantment. The physical characteristics of the tree may have contributed to its protective reputation, including the tiny five pointed star or pentagram on each berry opposite its stalk (the pentagram being an ancient protective symbol). The colour red was deemed to be the best protection against enchantment, and so the rowan's vibrant display of berries in autumn may have further contributed to its protective abilities, as suggested in the old rhyme: "Rowan tree and red thread / make the witches tine (meaning 'to lose') their speed". The rowan was also denoted as a tree of the Goddess or a Faerie tree by virtue (like the hawthorn and elder) of its white flowers.
There are several recurring themes of protection offered by the rowan. The tree itself was said to afford protection to the dwelling by which it grew, pieces of the tree were carried by people for personal protection from witchcraft, and sprigs or pieces of rowan were used to protect especially cows and their dairy produce from enchantment. Thus we find documented instances as late as the latter half of the twentieth century of people being warned against removing or damaging the rowan tree growing in their newly acquired garden in the Scottish Highlands and Ireland. On the Isle of Man crosses made from rowan twigs without the use of a knife were worn by people and fastened to cattle, or hung inside over the lintel on May Eve each year. From Scotland to Cornwall similar equal-armed crosses made from rowan twigs and bound with red thread were sewn into the lining of coats or carried in pockets. Other permutations of the use of rowan's protective abilities are many and widespread. In Scandinavia, rowan trees found growing not in the ground but out of some inaccessible cleft in a rock, or out of crevasses in other trees' trunks or boughs, possessed an even more powerful magic, and such trees were known as 'flying rowan'.
The Rannoch Rowan
Probably the loneliest tree in Britain is a rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) which stands in splendid isolation in the desolate wilderness of Rannoch Moor. It perches on top of a giant boulder, its windswept crown bearing testament to the extreme exposure with which it has to contend.
Remarkably, the tree has managed to maintain a hold in the crevices of its lichen-encrusted pedestal, its roots somehow seeking sustenance from a deep fissure in the rock.
This lonely rowan is now a well-known landmark on the busy A82 road.
