Non-Surgical Treatments Tampa, Cosmetic Treatments Tampa FL, Non Invasive Treatments Tampa Florida, Cosmetic Surgery Tampa
The causes of aging are divided into two categories – intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic causes of aging include the natural aging process and genetics, which are factors that are largely beyond our control. Extrinsic causes of aging include external factors like sun exposure and behavioral habits. Together, intrinsic and extrinsic causes of aging contribute to the formation of wrinkles, sagging skin, and age spots.
Unfortunately, no one can avoid this process. It's a natural part of life. Collagen production slows and elastin becomes less effective, causing our skin to lose its tone and elasticity and contributing to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, many patients find that their concerns can be assuaged non-invasively with cosmetic treatments. At the Bassin Center for Plastic Surgery in Tampa, leading Florida plastic surgeons Dr. Roger Bassin and Dr. Rigo Mendoza offer a wide variety of cosmetic treatments to reduce the signs of aging in the face, hands, and other parts of the body. These procedures include:
Tampa BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into facial muscles in order to improve the appearance of moderate to severe lines between the brows. This simple, effective treatment can temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses to reduce the muscle activity that causes them. Dr. Mendoza offers BOTOX® Cosmetic in Florida. Find out more about BOTOX® Cosmetic Tampa.
Tampa dermal fillers can help reduce visible signs of aging by filling in lines and wrinkles and restoring fullness to areas of depleted volume. Treatments of cosmetic fillers in Florida are simple, fast, minimally-invasive, and relatively painless. With Florida cosmetic fillers, results can be visible immediately and usually last for several months to one year, depending on the type of filler used. Dr. Mendoza offers a full range of cosmetic fillers, including Restylane®, JUVÉDERM®, RADIESSE®, Perlane® and Sculptra®. Find out more about Dermal Fillers Tampa.
Tampa NaturalFill® Facial Filler™ offers patients an excellent alternative to synthetic collagen fillers. An innovative new fat transfer procedure, NaturalFill® Facial Filler in Florida uses your own natural fat to improve the visible signs of aging on the face, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results. Dr. Mendoza offers NaturalFill® Facial Filler in Florida. Find out more about NaturalFill® Facial Filler Tampa.
Liposonix® is a non invasive, body sculpting procedure which uses high intensity, high frequency ultrasound waves to target and eliminate unwanted fat on the abdomen, love handles, hips, inner thighs, outer thighs, bra bulge, and legs. Only a single, one hour treatment is required to slim your figure and provide you with the body that diet and exercise have failed to achieve. Patients can expect to lose 1 size after their one and only Liposonix® treatment. Schedule an appointment at Bassin Center for Plastic Surgery today to learn if Liposonix® in Tampa can help you achieve your cosmetic goals! Find out more about Liposonix® Tampa.
DOT Therapy, also known as Fractional CO2 laser treatment in Florida, is an advanced skin rejuvenation technique that delivers excellent results without the extended downtime and complication rate associated with older laser technology. Fractional CO2 laser treatment promotes new collagen production for excellent skin rejuvenation and tightening. Fractional CO2 laser treatment can be used to minimize the appearance of a wide range of skin conditions on the face, neck, chest, and hands. Find out more about Fractional CO2 Laser Tampa.
Thermage® is a non-invasive anti-aging treatment that uses radio frequency technology to safely heat the deep layers of skin, causing collagen contraction and triggering the body's natural healing process. Initial contraction can typically be seen immediately after treatment. The production of new, tighter strands of collagen is noticeable in the months following the treatment. The overall result of Thermage® in Tampa is smoother, tighter and younger looking skin. Find out more about Thermage® Tampa.
Tampa NaturalFill® Hand Rejuvenation™ is an innovative new fat transfer procedure that uses your own natural fat to improve the signs of aging and restore youthful fullness to the hands. Because NaturalFill® uses your body's own natural fat, there is lower risk of infection and the results are more natural-looking than synthetic fillers. Dr. Mendoza offers NaturalFill® Hand Rejuvenation in Florida to minimize the appearance of veins and tendons on the hands. Find out more about NaturalFill® Hand Rejuvenation Tampa.
LATISSE® is the first and only FDA-approved treatment that can make your natural eyelashes grow thicker, longer, and fuller. LATISSE® in Florida can significantly enhance thin, sparse, or lightly colored eyelashes. LATISSE® makes the eyelash growth phase both longer and stronger by promoting the growth of more eyelashes, while extending the duration of the phase during which eyelashes grow. Dr. Medoza offers LATISSE® in Florida. Find out more about LATISSE® Tampa.
The appearance of youth and physical health is often indicated by a thick, luscious head of hair, but male and female pattern balding is genetic. Even young, healthy people can witness beginning signs of balding. Traditional hair transplant procedures resulted in a long, nearly primitive scar around the head because the method of hair transplanting involved transplanted strips of skin. The revolutionary new hair grafting technique used during NeoGraft in Tampa involves transplanting only the hair follicles. This technique is painless, scarless, involves no anesthetic, no surgery, and produces permanent, natural results. Decide to outgrow genetics today by contacting Dr. Bassin and Dr. Mendoza to discover how NeoGraft in Tampa can help you. Find out more about NeoGraft Tampa.At the Bassin Center for Plastic Surgery in Tampa, we're committed to providing you with the most advanced cosmetic treatments available. Dr. Bassin, Dr. Mendoza, and their staff will be happy to meet with you to discuss the cosmetic treatments offered at the Bassin Center for Plastic Surgery. Please call us in our Tampa location at 813-872-7800 or schedule an appointment online.

Wednesday 5th March 2008
21 June - 21 September 2008. Free entry. Manchester Art Gallery launches a major new exhibition this summer dedicated to the work of award-winning childrens author and illustrator Lauren Child. Child's best-selling books have been captivating children and their parents for almost 10 years. They include the hugely successful Charlie and Lola (who have gone on to become the stars of a CBBC and Disney Playhouse television series) as well as Clarice Bean, That Pesky Rat and Hubert Horatio Bartle Bobton-Trent.
Green Drops and Moonsquirters is the first ever exhibition to bring Lauren Child's popular books to life. Displays are based on illustrations, characters and themes from all her books and are fully interactive. They combine original illustrations with fun and engaging hands-on activities for under 7s and their families.
Visitors are invited to literally step into the world of Child's books. Playhouses based around her most popular characters encourage families to explore and play. They can:
Lauren Child studied art in Manchester and she worked as an artist's assistant for Damien Hirst before embarking on her career in children's literature. Her illustrations artfully combine drawing, collage and photography while witty and irreverent text weaves through the pages in unconventional ways. This brand new exhibition features over thirty original illustrations from Child's books. A selection of 3D sets and dolls house furniture created for The Princess and the Pea are also on display.
Curated and developed by Manchester Art Gallery, the free exhibition will premiere at the gallery from 21 June until 21 September 2008 before touring to museums and galleries around the UK.
A family-friendly programme of free events and activities runs alongside the exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon throughout the summer holidays (from Wednesday 30 July to Friday 29 August, 1 – 3pm). For further details, please visit www.manchestergalleries.org
Councillor Michael Amesbury, Executive Member for Arts & Leisure comments:
"This free exhibition is going to be a real highlight of the summer in the North West. It will be a great opportunity for families to explore Lauren Child's illustrations and books together. I'm also delighted that this home-grown exhibition will go on to visit venues around the UK – ensuring it will be enjoyed by even more people across the country."
An exclusive press view of the exhibition will be held on Friday 20 June. For further information about the exhibition, for images and to attend the press view please contact Kate Jones or Sarah Marsh at Fido PR.

Troubled "America's Next Top Model" alum Renee Alway SHAVED OFF HER HAIR before facing the judge in her burglary case -- in an effort to convince the judge she's a changed woman.
Alway -- who placed 3rd on ANTM during Season 8 -- appeared in a Palm Springs courtroom Thursday stemming from a 6-hour armed standoff with police last month.
Nothing really happened during the hearing ... except for the debut of Alway's new haircut.
So, why the extreme new 'do? Alway's sister tells TMZ ... the former model wants to "start over" and believes the first step is a radical new look ... hence the buzz job.
Plus, we're told ... Alway hated the way her hair looked in her mug shot, which probably made it easier to part ways with her mane.
FYI -- Alway's been arrested at least 4 times this year ... so, if she REALLY wants to fix her life, it's gonna take more than a haircut.
She's due back in court in August.
A change in a appearance might seem contrived. But, it can be the first step to a change in attitude. After all, it's worked for the Army these past 100 years. If you see yourself differently in the mirror, you can see the world differently, also.
I remember her...always classy Tyra didn't stop reminding her how OLD she looked...even though she was in her early 20s!
It's a fresh start...as if. I don't know anything about her, but that mug shot is a drug test just waiting to fail.
this business is so ruthless ... know that not everyone that hangs with you has your best interest, only opportunists and takers....you really have to be strong and avoid drugs...
i feel so bad, looking at her downward spiral,
stay strong girl........
Or. Maybe she didn't want her hair used for a drug test.
I said it before, crazy eyes.
seems like almost everyone that was on that show turned out screwed up...........
these shows should also have follow up help for contestants on life after the show... i don't think people understand how to deal with the exposure after living normal lives.......sucks...........
Stop copying Britney.
She looks like a Charles Manson follower w/the shaved head & jail garb.
Maybe the justice system should learn a lesson from Amanda Bynes and do a psychiatric evalutation of her.
If the judge could miss Amanda Bynes' condition in her last court appearance then they are not terribly discerning. Proactive is the way to go. Lingering is far more costly.
Another drug addict that's going to cost us a fortune to "help" only to see them go back to being drug addicts again.Why cant these looser's just over dose and die like good useless people...
Americas top prison lesbian !
That's the new fall look for women's prison.
No surprise here,another crazy drugged out white bicth.
Looks like she's ready for prison with that full-on dyke look.

Market forces + jobs + competitiveness + giant corporation = huge win for marriage equality.
Microsoft and others are pushing to legalize gay marriage in Washington, arguing that this inequality makes the state less competitive:
As other states recognize marriage equality, Washington's employers are at a disadvantage if we cannot offer a similar, inclusive environment to our talented employees, our top recruits and their families.
Win them over with markets – an awesome approach, IMO. While HRC and others are doing their best to push state-by-state adoption of marriage equality, Microsoft may have just found the magic ticket. Can you imagine voting against your state's largest employers when they tell you how to create more local, high-tech jobs?
I'm excited.

April 27- DENNIS MILLER
Louisville Palace
Start Date:
Saturday, April 27, 2013
End Date:
Saturday, April 27, 2013
Event Details:
Since 2007, Dennis Miller has been heard five days a week on his nationally syndicated Dial Global (formerly Westwood One) Radio talk show, "The Dennis Miller Show." He is also a regular contributor for "The O'Reilly Factor" on the FOX News Channel.
It's been said that Miller is "One of the premiere comedy talents in America today…" While others are blunt assessing Miller's comedic stature, Dennis himself makes a virtue of understatement, but there is nothing low key about his career.
Miller is a five-time Emmy award winner for his critically acclaimed half-hour, live talk show "Dennis Miller Live" which had a nine year run on HBO. Miller also garnered three Writer's Guild of America Awards for the series as well as an additional WGA Award for his 1997 HBO special, "Dennis Miller: Citizen Arcane." He also wrote and starred in the Emmy-nominated cable comedy special "Raw Feed." That show, along with the six other standup specials he did for HBO from 1988-2006, is featured in the recently released DVD set, "Dennis Miller: The HBO Specials." His eighth special for HBO, "Dennis Miller: The Big Speech" debuted last year and is now also available on DVD. He was the host and executive producer of CNBC's "Dennis Miller", a topical interview talk show featuring reasoned discourse, opinion and humor. Additionally, Miller has appeared on many politically oriented television talk shows.
Dennis has also achieved success in the literary arena with four books, "I Rant Therefore I Am," "The Rants," "Ranting Again," and "The Rant Zone" have all been New York Times best sellers. For two seasons, Miller called the plays alongside Al Michaels and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts on ABC's "Monday Night Football." He was also the "Weekend Update" correspondent on "Saturday Night Live" for six years, before exiting in 1991. He has yet to appear in a show with the words, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday in the title.
Miller currently serves as the National Spokesperson for USA Cares, a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to military families in need.
Over the years, Miller has become both a public and critical favorite. The New York Times said, "Mr. Miller is exquisitely attuned to contemporary foibles…his material can be scathing, his delivery low key…Mr. Miller reaches a bit farther than most comedians for the scorching comment…this smart aleck has an uncommonly sharp eye…" and The Hollywood Reporter called his most recent special, "an hour of topical, scathing brilliance that helps cement Miller's status as the Lenny Bruce of the new millennium…the most cerebral, astute and clever standup ever to put mouth to microphone."

Want to be immortal? You can be in AD 2110. Just go to the Hereafter Insurance Corporation and hook yourself up to the Machine. There's nothing to fear. That is, if it happens to be working right, and if nobody slips another mind into your body when you're not looking, and if you're not on a poltergeist hatelist…
First published in 1959 as a startling, revolutionary novel of the future—then pushed to new cinematic limits as the feature film adaptation Freejack in 1992—Robert Sheckley's unsettling vision of tomorrow is a trenchantly witty novel of a future where everything has improved except the bumbling human race, which just can't let itself enjoy a good thing when it finally gets it.
Thomas Blaine awoke in a white bed in a white room and heard someone say, "He's alive now." Then they asked him his name, age, and marital status. Yes, that seemed normal enough—but what was this talk about "death trauma"?
Thus was Thomas Blaine introduced to the year 2110, when science had discovered the technique of transferring a man's consciousness from one body to another, when a man's mind could be snatched from the past, as his body was at the point of death, and brought forward into a "host body" in this fantastic future world.
But that was only a small part of it, for the future had proved the reality of life after death and discovered worlds beyond or simultaneous with our own—worlds where, through scientific techniques, a man could live again, in another body, when he died here—and had in the process established the reality of ghosts, poltergeists, and zombies.
What did it all mean? How had this discovery of what they called the "hereafter" shaped the world of 2110?
Thomas Blaine found himself living in a future where the discoveries and techniques imagined by people of his time, though realized, were completely overwhelmed by discoveries no one had ever dreamed of.

Praise for Robert Sheckley: "Sheckley has long been considered one of the genre's leading humorists." (New York Times Book Review)
There are books of the same chemical composition as dynamite. The only difference is that a piece of dynamite explodes once, whereas a book explodes a thousand times. ― Yevgeny Zamyatin
Dystopian, futuristic, anti-religious
We by Zamyatin, 1984 by Orwell or Brave New World by Huxley where gloomy and frightening alternative futures come to life.
That's the power of his voice, the way he can easily vary his pitch, his voice quality...all sounded perfect to me.
Dr. Nils Rasmussen
"Sheckley Is The Best There Is"
When it comes to science-fiction authors you have never heard of, there are none more talented than Robert Sheckley. Aside from "Immortality Inc.", (which is amazing), his novel "Dimension of Miracles" & as well as a handful of short-stories adapted into radio dramas for the 1950's program "X-Minus One" have earned him the honor of owning the spot in my heart as my favorite obscure writer.
"Immortality Inc." plays with your mind only the way that Sheckley can. The story itself blends ideas from subjects such as time travel, the afterlife, immorality, reincarnation, and zombie folklore into ONE book that reads like a "I-can't-put-it-down" page-turner. I also found it interesting that a book which was written over 50 years ago had its protagonist be a self-proclaimed atheist. Rare for that time period in fiction.
Definitely worth the credit. You won't be sorry.

Bug bites and stings are, for the most part, no more unpleasant than a homework assignment — kind of annoying but basically harmless. Occasionally, though, an insect bite or sting can cause serious problems. You should know when a simple ice pack can bring some relief or when a visit to the local hospital is in order.
Before you find out how to handle your unwelcome guests, come meet the critters who want a little piece of you.
For most people, being stung by a bee is a minor nuisance. The affected area may get a little red or swollen and it may be slightly painful, but that's about it.
Bee and wasp stings can cause real problems for people who are allergic, though. A person can get a localized allergic reaction (swelling, heat, or itching of the skin around the bite area) or a systemic allergic reaction, meaning that the poison causes a reaction throughout a person's body, not just around the bite area.
In the case of a systemic reaction, the person may break out in hives. Other symptoms include wheezing; shortness of breath; rapid heartbeat; faintness; and swelling of the face, lips, or tongue. If a person has these symptoms, it's important to get help immediately. It hardly ever happens, but severe allergic reactions to bee stings can be fatal if the person doesn't get medical help.
Fleas can be lumped into the irritating-but-not-serious category as well. They are often found on Fido or Fluffy, but they can also be attracted to you.
Depending on where you live, ticks could ruin a good camping trip. One variety known as deer ticks is known to carry Lyme disease, so the trick is to get them off your body fast. In the United States, the northeastern and upper midwestern states are most affected by the threat of disease from ticks, but some cases have been found in the Pacific Northwest and in northern and southern Europe. Ticks can carry other diseases, too, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Ticks are usually found in heavily wooded areas.
Mosquitoes hang out anywhere people, food, or pools of still water are found. Generally they aren't anything to worry about: They bite, you itch, end of story.
However, there is some concern about West Nile virus, which is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. The good news is that healthy kids, teens, and adults under 50 are at low risk of catching West Nile virus. And although the virus can put people at risk for developing a serious infection called encephalitis, in reality this hardly ever happens. Less than 1% of the people who are infected with West Nile virus become seriously ill.
Most spider bites are minor, although they can cause mild swelling or allergic reactions. But a small percentage of teens become ill after being bitten by brown recluse or black widow spiders. Although not everyone will have a reaction, you should see a doctor and get treatment quickly if you know you've been bitten by one of these spiders.
The brown recluse is brown (big surprise) with a small shape of a violin in a darker brown area on the back of its head. These spiders are small but tough: a half-inch body (about 1 centimeter) with legs stretching another inch (3 centimeters) or even more. They are found mostly in midwestern and southern parts of the United States, and they like to hide in dark, quiet places like attics or garages. When humans enter their space unexpectedly, they bite out of fear. The bites usually don't hurt at first — and most people don't even know that they've been bitten.
Brown recluse bites don't cause problems for most people. But in a small percentage of cases, they can lead to skin damage and scarring. The few people who do have a reaction may notice swelling and skin changes 4 to 8 hours after the bite. The swelling may form a blister. If this happens, a dark, scabby material called eschar (pronounced: es-kar) may cover the blister within a week after the bite. Most brown recluse bites get better on their own — but it can take a couple of months. So it's always a good idea to see a doctor for proper treatment.
The black widow is found in southern Canada, throughout the United States, and in Mexico. Easily identified by its shiny coal-black body and orange hourglass shape on its underbelly, it's a similar size to the brown recluse spider and it should be treated as carefully.
Most often, people who have been bitten by a black widow don't even know it until they feel the symptoms. But the good news is that there are lots of warning signs that give you time to act before things get too serious. The venom (poison) in a black widow bite causes a systemic reaction.
Someone who has been bitten by a black widow may get painful cramps within a few hours. These cramps usually make a person feel achy all over, and can spread to include abdominal cramping, which may be severe. The person may also have nausea, vomiting, chills, fever, and headache. If you show any of these symptoms, get to the hospital immediately.
Spider bites can sound scary, but it's actually extremely rare that a person will die from one. Fewer than 1% of the people who report being bitten by a black widow die, and even fewer people die from brown recluse bites. Young children are most at risk.
For most varieties of bug bites and stings, antihistamines will help to stop itching and lessen swelling, and acetaminophen can help relieve any pain. Ibuprofen can help reduce swelling while relieving some pain. Some people use a topical 1% hydrocortisone cream (sold in pharmacies without a prescription) to alleviate itching.
Say goodbye to ticks by removing them with a pair of tweezers as soon as you notice them. Ticks removed within 24 to 48 hours are less likely to transmit diseases like Lyme disease. Be sure to pull a tick out from the head, which is closest to your skin, to ensure that you remove the whole thing. Have someone help you get the hard-to-reach places of your body, and pull each one out very slowly. Clean the site with soap and water, and treat with an antiseptic or antibiotic cream to avoid infection.
Do not try to burn a tick off, as the flame only agitates the insect, causing it to burrow deeper into your skin. When you've pulled the tick out, put it in a jar of rubbing alcohol to kill it. (Your doctor may also want you to save the tick so that its type can be identified.)
After a bee sting, if you can see the stinger, remove it as quickly as possible to lessen your exposure to the venom.
Wash the sting or bite with soap and water and keep it clean. Apply some calamine lotion or a paste of water and baking soda (unless the sting is near your eyes). Put an ice pack on the affected area for 15 minutes every few hours or so, or cover the sting with a cold compress. Apply an antibiotic cream to prevent further infection. Using a 1% hydrocortisone cream can reduce redness, swelling, itching, and pain.
If you are allergic to bee stings, see your doctor for a prescription for an epinephrine kit. If used immediately after a bee attack, this shot will stop the allergic reaction before it starts, which could save your life. An epinephrine kit is easy to use — your doctor or pharmacist will explain how.
If you're severely allergic to bug bites and stings, talk to a doctor about getting venom immunotherapy (shots) from an allergist.
How do you know when a sting or bite is too much for you to handle alone? If you have any symptoms of a systemic allergic reaction, get to the emergency department right away. These symptoms include:
In the case of a black widow spider bite, or if you have any doubt about what kind of spider bit you and you're feeling sick and have cramps, get to the emergency department immediately. (Take the spider with you if you were able to kill it safely.)
If bites or stings get infected or if an open sore or blister refuses to heal, make an appointment with your family doctor.
Human beings don't have to sit around and wait to be a sample on the insect buffet. Here are some steps we can take to protect ourselves:

I have been a member of Riff-o-Matic for several years. Its got to be one of the finest investments I ever made for myself. Its a great tool for learning guitar parts, and motivating me to become a better player and student of guitar. I'd recommend this tool to anyone learning or learning more about playing guitar. Kenny Mann has done a great job, and has responded to my inquires promptly. What more can I say…
Ed McCarthy
Riff-O-Matic has really helped me learn the guitar.It has made things a lot easier but as Kenny says you MUST put in the practice in order for anyone to see the results.Riff-O-Matic is the best Guitar program on the market without question!!!
This is the best tab site I have seen or used. The tabs are correct for the keys of the songs and having the songs broken down into parts is the best way to learn. This has helped my playing and getting me jumped started to a high level of proficiency.
After not playing for over thirty years I purchased a guitar a few months ago.

This program has helped me to get into a playing zone that otherwise would take many years. And I'm always hearing "Hey, I didn't know you could do that."

Shanxi province (陕西, shănxī), with an average height of 1000m above sea level, is one huge mountain plateau. Strategically important, bounded to the north by the Great Wall and to the south by the Yellow River, it was for centuries a bastion territory against the northern tribes. Today, its significance is economic: this is China's most coal-rich province, with 500 million tons mined here annually, a quarter of the national supply. Around the two key towns, Datong and the capital Taiyuan, open-cast mining has obliterated large parts of the countryside, and over a million people had to be recently rehoused due to land subsidence in the region.
Physically, Shanxi is dominated by the proximity of the Gobi Desert, and wind and water have shifted sand, dust and silt right across the province. The land is farmed, as it has been for millennia, by slicing the hills into steps, creating a plain of ribbed hillocks that look like the realization of a cubist painting. The dwellings in this terrain often have mud walls, or are simply caves cut into vertical embankments, seemingly a part of the strange landscape. Great tracts of this land, though, are untillable, due to soil erosion caused by tree felling, and the paucity of rainfall, which has left much of the province fearsomely barren, an endless range of dusty hills cracked by fissures. Efforts are now being made to arrest erosion and the advance of the desert, including a huge tree-planting campaign. Sometimes, you'll even see wandering dunes held in place by immense nets of woven straw.
While Shanxi's cities are generally functional and laminated in coal dust, once you get beyond them – sometimes not even very far – things improve dramatically. Tourism staff in the province call it a "museum above the ground", a reference to the many unrestored but still intact ancient buildings that dot the region, some from dynasties almost unrepresented elsewhere in China. Just outside Datong, the Yungang cave temples are among China's major Buddhist art sites, easily taken in en route between Beijing and Hohhot in Inner Mongolia. Not quite as accessible, Wutai Shan is a holy mountain on the northeastern border with Hebei, with an unusually devout atmosphere and beautiful alpine scenery. Farther south, all within a bus ride of the towns spread along the rail line between Taiyuan and Xi'an, are a host of little places worth a detour, the highest profile of which is Pingyao, an old walled town preserved entirely from its Qing-dynasty heyday as a banking centre. Southwest of here and surprisingly time-consuming to reach, the Yellow River presents its fiercest aspect at Hukou Falls, as its chocolate-coloured waters explode out of a short, tight gorge.Read More
- Datong and around
Wutai Shan
Wutai Shan
One of China's four Buddhist mountains, the five flat peaks of WUTAI SHAN (五台山, wŭtái shān) – the name means "Five-terrace Mountain" – rise around 3000m above sea level in the northeastern corner of Shanxi province, near the border with Hebei. The long bus ride here is rewarded with fresh air, superb scenery, some fascinating temple architecture and a spiritual (if not always peaceful) tone.
Though increasingly accessible today, the mountain's formerly remote location has always given it a degree of protection, and many of Wutai Shan's forty temples have survived the centuries intact – one reason why the mountains gained World Heritage status in 2009. The monastic village of Taihuai is the focus, sitting in a depression surrounded by the five holy peaks; highlights are its ninth-century revolving bookcase of the Tayuan Si and two ancient temples, the Song-dynasty Foguang and the Tang-dynasty Nanchan. All the temples today are working and full of resident clergy, despite an escalating number of tour groups trudging around them in peak season – though you'll also see a surprising number of ordinary Chinese people here as pilgrims, thumbing rosaries and prostrating themselves on their knees as they clamber up the temples' steep staircases.
The hordes of tourists that descend upon Wutai Shan in warmer months sometimes put paid to genuine feelings of remoteness. Crowds die down between October and April, though you will have to come prepared for some low temperatures and possible blizzards. Whatever the time of year, don't hike off into the hills around Taihuai without some warm, weatherproof gear, food and water, and a torch, even though in good weather the trails here present no special difficulties. Allow plenty of time for hikes, as the paths are hard to find in the dark and even in summer the temperature drops sharply at sundown.
Brief history
Wutai Shan was an early bastion of Buddhism in China, a religious centre at least since the reign of Emperor Ming Di (58–75 AD). At that time, a visiting Indian monk had a vision in which he met Manjusri (Wenshu), the Buddhist incarnation of Wisdom, who is usually depicted riding a blue lion and carrying a manuscript (to represent a sutra) and a sword to cleave ignorance. By the time of the Northern Wei, Wutai Shan was a prosperous Buddhist centre, important enough to be depicted on a mural at the Dunhuang Caves in Gansu. The mountain reached its height of popularity in the Tang dynasty, when there were more than two hundred temples scattered around its peaks. In the fifteenth century, the founder of the Yellow Hat order, now the dominant Buddhist sect in Tibet, came to the area to preach; Manjusri is particularly important in Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhism, and Wutai Shan remains an important pilgrimage place for Lamaists.
The tiny town of PINGYAO (平遥, píngyáo) has steadily become an understated travel favourite in recent times, and for good reason – not only does it form a logical stopover point between Beijing and Xi'an, but its wall-bound core – almost entirely filled with traditional eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings – provides something of a step back in time. This is one of the most authentic old towns in China, and provides travellers with the chance to sleep on traditional Shanxi beds (kang) raised up on platforms – in charismatic old courtyard mansions. Things have changed recently thanks to the soft wrecking ball of domestic tourism, but take a few steps away from the restaurants and souvenir stands of the (pedestrianized) main streets, and you're in another world. Throw in a couple of fine rural temples and some impressive fortified clan villages, all within day-trip distance, and staying overnight becomes a pleasurable necessity, rather than a possibility.
Pingyao reached its zenith in the Ming dynasty, when it was a prosperous banking centre, one of the first in China, and its wealthy residents constructed luxurious mansions, adding city walls to defend them. In the course of the twentieth century, however, the town slid rapidly into provincial obscurity, which kept it largely unmodernized. Inside the town walls, Pingyao's narrow streets, lined with elegant Qing architecture – no neon, no white tile, no cars – are a revelation, harking back to the town's nineteenth-century heyday. Few buildings are higher than two storeys; most are small shops much more interesting for their appearance than their wares, with ornate wood-and-painted-glass lanterns hanging outside, and intricate wooden latticework holding paper rather than glass across the windows.
Cave houses
Cave houses
A common sight among the folds and fissures of the dry loess plain of northern Shanxi (and neighbouring Shaanxi) are cave dwellings, a traditional form of housing that's been in use for nearly two thousand years. Hollowed into the sides of hills terraced for agriculture, they house more than eighty million people, and are eminently practical – cheap, easy to make, naturally insulated and long-lasting. In fact, a number of intact caves in Hejin, on the banks of the Yellow River in the west of the province, are said to date back to the Tang dynasty. Furthermore, in a region where flat land has to be laboriously hacked out of the hillside, caves don't take up land that could be cultivated.
The facade of the cave is usually a wooden frame on a brick base. Most of the upper part consists of a wooden lattice – designs of which are sometimes very intricate – faced with white paper, which lets in plenty of light, but preserves the occupants' privacy. Tiled eaves above protect the facade from rain damage. Inside, the single-arched chamber is usually split into a bedroom at the back and a living area in front, furnished with a kang, whose flue leads under the bed and then outside to the terraced field that is the roof – sometimes, the first visible indication of a distant village is a set of smoke columns rising from the crops.
Such is the popularity of cave homes that prosperous cave dwellers often prefer to build themselves a new courtyard and another cave rather than move into a house. Indeed, in the suburbs of towns and cities of northern Shaanxi, new concrete apartment buildings are built in imitation of caves, with three windowless sides and an arched central door. It is not uncommon even to see soil spread over the roofs of these apartments with vegetables grown on top.

NORTH BALTIMORE, OH (Toledo News Now) – Officials in North Baltimore are evaluating their part-time emergency medical services and looking at options to make volunteers full-time.
Currently EMTs are always dispatched in an emergency, but they are not always from the village. Council members said people could get the help they need much sooner if the village station operated with volunteers 24/7.
"Residents are more comfortable having a full-time squad than part-time," said resident Jesse Girdler. "Time is lost from the guys having to get calls."
Village Councilmember Jeffery Bertz echoed residents' feelings, and explained that current staffing levels are not ideal for emergency situations.

CHARLES CITY -- An estimated 1200 people gathered at Berkeley Plantation in Charles City to watch as five bald eagles were released into the wild.
Three of the eagles were removed from their nest at Norfolk Botanical Garden after their mother was killed by an airplane in April.
One eagle fitted with a tracking transmitter had to be returned to a wildlife center after failing to gain altitude in two initial flights.
Biologists said the eagle was not injured but was probably stressed from being handled while the transmitter was attached and from the heat.

Ethan Moreau: Before They Make Me Run
Ethan Moreau is extremely unlikely to return with the Edmonton Oilers next season. When the General Manager tells everyone his goal in life is to change the culture of the organization, I can't imagine an outcome that allows Ethan rifles to skate in copper and blue again.
- Boxcars: 76gp, 9-9-18
- Shots: 143
- Plus Minus: -18
- Corsi (Rel): -15.9 (13th among F's)
- 5×5/60: 0.86 (13th among F's)
- 5×4/60: 3.75 (5th among F's)
- Quality of Competition: 2nd toughest among F's
- Quality of Teammates: 8th best among F's
- FO %: 41.2% in 17 FO's
- Offensive Zone Start FO %: 45.3% (toughest among F's)
- Cap Hit: $2,000,000
- What do these numbers tell us? Well he struggled but (along with Horcoff and Pisani) faced the tough music and Moreau stood alone with the worst zone start (Hemsky's ZS's were worse but he didn't play enough games to qualify). Moreau didn't perform well at all and he may indeed be done. But I do think you can make a case that all of these guys have been tarred with the same brush and the fact is that no one looks good in a season this bad (except for Penner, giving us an idea about just how incredible he was this season).
- How could these numbers be better? If the Oilers could have placed him in a less challenging spot maybe things would have been different. In fairness, they did try (if I recall correctly) with JFJ and Stone both playing on more prominent lines than Moreau. In the end it didn't work out.
- What about that eye injury? I've maintained that Moreau hasn't been the same player since that very scary eye injury in 08-09. He still has good straightaway speed but the man has suffered some injuries (leg, shoulder) over the years and the aging process is also taking a toll.
- Will he be back? I don't think so. Tambellini appears to be ridding himself of all old timey things, and Moreau dates back to 1999 with this club. They may trade him, buy him out and it is also possible that they send him to AAA.
- What about all those crazy quotes? At some point this season Moreau seems to have gone "opposite George" in regard to being captain of a hockey team. His quotes to the media have bordered on treason, or at least subterfuge. One day they'll have classes devoted to the 2009-10 Ethan Moreau quotes. They were truly astounding.
- How important is Moreau to the organization? Important enough to be treated with respect right up to and including the period when the firing squad does its business.
By the Numbers
- 07-08 5×5 per 60m: 1.21
- 08-09 5×5 per 60m: 1.50
- 09-10 5×5 per 60m: 0.86
Predictions Past 2009-10: 65gp, 12-11-23 (.354)
Performance in 2009-10: 76gp, 9-9-18 (237)
Projected Role in 2009-10: Earning $2 million dollars

Lol i enjoyed reading this but damn, I wish i understood why you chose an airplane haha, so random. And another serious question, not trying to be rude whatsoever. But were things purposely spelled wrong to add to the theme of the comic or were those accidents? ( I am... A airplane, happEly...etc)
Regardless, very well done. I appreciate your art style very much, many things going on in those pictures that im sure many miss
Haha, lets just say they are all happy accidents!
Thanks, Ive tried to put allot of effort into the few pages i'd do.

text: DOUGLAS COUNTY, WI (KDAL) - More details are emerging on the cause of last week's Douglas County fire. Wisconsin DNR officials said in a release a logging crew was harvesting timber with a Timberjack 840 feller/buncher on industrial timber land owned by Lyme St. Croix Forest Company. According to investigators, the fire started under the head of the cutting device, which was operated by the company Ray Duerr Logging. They added there was no sign of the machine's saw coming into contact with a rock or that the equipment appeared faulty, and they were able to rule out all other causes based on evidence. Workers on site acted quickly in attempt to extinguish the blaze and immediately called 911, according to the DNR. Officials said the entire logging crew stayed on the scene and has been extremely cooperative throughout the process. The investigation found no negligence was involved and the fire was not set intentionally. The DNR has recommended no criminal charges be pursued.

Great Plants for the Fall Garden: Edible Kale
The Gardener
Kale is an undeniably wonderful plant for fall gardens. The leaves catch droplets of rain and the plants continue to look nice even when the mercury drops below freezing. It is easy to find "ornamental" and "flowering" kales, which are bred for the color of their leaves rather than for their taste, as this time of year. But it is worth the extra effort to seek out varieties that look pretty and taste good, too.
I grow a ridiculous amount of kale because we eat it almost every day. The leaves cook super quickly and are chock full of vitamins. I toss handfuls of chopped kale into soups and steam, saute, stir fry, and roast it. I've grown many different varieties, but these are three of my favorites:
'Lacinato'. This Italian heirloom is also known as "dinosaur kale" and for good reason. The dark green, deeply rumpled leaves grown nearly a foot long and the plant get almost four feet tall. Once you grow 'Lacinato', it is definitely easy to imagine a stegosaurus happily munching on the leaves. I love to harvest this variety from the bottom up, because it ends up looking almost like a palm tree. The leaves taste good cooked or raw. It is a seriously gorgeous plant and a staple in my garden.
'Redbor'. This deep purple variety has the most amazing curled leaves. I love to plant 'Redbor' because it adds great texture to the vegetable garden. It looks especially pretty interplanted with leeks, because their spiky, grey-ish green leaves make a nice contrast. This variety is full of anthocyanins--purple plant pigments that act as antioxidants in the body. I find that 'Redbor' tastes best cooked, because the curly texture is a bit rough raw.
'Rainbow Lacinato'. This amazing open-pollinated variety was bred by Wild Garden Seeds. It is a cross between 'Lacinato' and 'Redbor'. The leaves are long like 'Lacinato', but slightly less rumpled and they are more of a greenish grey with purple stems and veins. So pretty! And tasty too. It's a fairly new variety, so it is hard to find at nurseries, but easy to grow from seed.
You can order 'Rainbow Lacinato' seed from Wild Garden Seeds and get 'Lacinato' and 'Redbor' plants from Annie's Annuals (though they are not currently available). It is unfortunately a bit late to plant kale in most parts of the country, but it is luckily easy to find at the farmers market. Next year plant seeds or starts in mid to late summer for fall and winter crops.

Yes! We grow Kale and eat it regularly too - the most fanastic green.
Great in Pasta (Broad beans, Kale, Lemon and butter - yum) and as Spankopita - spinach and cheese filo rolls.
My experience, having grown regular curly kale, Red Russian kale, and lacinato kale, is that the Red Russian is the least bitter, but the least productive, the lacinato and the curly are about equal in production, and the curly kale is the hands-down winner on ease of growth: in the same plot with the lacinato, which is attacked by both slugs and persistent powdery mildew, the curly kale has no problems (although I think the young plants can get aphids). Curly kale is also the only one that is thick enough to dry into kale chips.
Our kale has just survived a pretty nasty winter (southern australia) with some severe frosts and is still kicking along now into spring. We have been using it in stir frys and fritattas etc, pretty much any dish which uses spinach we use kale. Earlier in the spring we had some aphids, but I removed with sudsy water and gloves, quite satisfying really and worked a treat on my roses too
Weckster--I love kale in pasta, too (especially with white beans and pancetta), but I hadn't thought to use it in spanokopita. Great idea.
SoRad--I'll have to try curly kale for kale chips, I usually use 'Lacinato' but you really have to watch and make sure they don't burn.
Fiona--I sure wish that it was spring here! My kale got a terrible case of aphids this year. They were grey, so I didn't notice them at first, but I used a soap spray too and that fixed the problem.
I disagree that ornamental kale is used just for color; it is beautiful but also flavorful, almost buttery when cooked right (not overcooked).

One way to greatly improve our love as a couples is to work out together. If that sounds insane or impossible to you, consider this: experts say couples who work out together have better "synchronicity, cooperative spirit and shared passion," which leads, overall, to a more satisfying marriage and partnership.
It makes sense.
For many couples, working out separately can become a contentious issue when one spouse gets more workout time than another or one feels the other is NOT working out enough. Oh yes. Seriously. And personally, I agree. Unless there is some kind of physical reason that a person can't exercise, working out ought to be a part of the marriage vows. Call me insane, but a spouse who lets themselves go is not a good one.
Granted, it is easy for me to say. I generally love working out and for a long time, running was a huge part of my life. I ran marathons and more. If anything, in my marriage, working out has been an issue. I can't tell you how angry my husband gets when I even begin to mention yet another marathon to him.
It makes sense. When I am training, I take hours on Sunday morning to run. And run. And run. Once my run is done, my legs are often shot, which means I am out of commission for the full day. I get his problem with it.
But I also know my husband would prefer that to the alternative. For the last few years, he has had trouble getting to the gym and it was bothering him. But it was also bothering me. He was less happy as he gained weight and missed the release of the gym.
As for me, when I skip a workout I am a nightmare to be around. So yeah. Working out matters. For so many reasons. As we age, taking care of ourselves becomes more and more important. It is harder to stay thin, harder to find the time to work out, and, of course, that IS the time we most need it.
People have been left for dumber things than letting themselves go. It's not just about appearance. It's about how we respect ourselves and the time we carve out for our relationships.
So yes. Work out together. But if you can't, at least find the time to work out, period. The couple who works out together stays together, but so does the couple who each workout. Make the time. It might save your marriage.
Do you manage to work out together?
i agree with micheledo splitting over looks is called vanity, if i were that vain i would have left my hubby after he gained 50lbs since being together for the past 4 years and has made no attempt to loose it. yes i gained weight with my 3 kids but i lost majority of it and im only 10 lbs heavier than when we got together. his weight has never bothered me in the least bit sure theres a little bit of discomfort during sex but otherwise i dont care and i still love him and am as attracted to him as i was when we started
We have a gym membership, I usually drop the kids off at the playzone and work out for an hour. My husband rarely goes with me, I wish he would. It is important for me for us to be healthy, that is the most important thing, I could care less if he had a six pack though, just healthy!

Down the winding roads on the outskirts of Yangon, Myanmar lies a shelter housing over 100 patients infected with HIV/AIDS.
With a lack of government support, and with NGOs frequently prevented from working in the country, the opposition party, the National League for Democracy, took action in 2002 by funding the HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Centr in the South Dagon Township.
The government's figures put the number of adults who suffer from HIV at nearly 189,000 of the countries 60 million people. Only 43 percent of those affected are currently receiving treatment.
This July, Myanmar began receiving $160m from The Global Fund, in hopes of allowing the country to extend coverage to all who suffer from the illness. However, with the healthcare system ranked as the lowest of the 190 surveyed countries by the World Health Organization, Myanmar will likely struggle to provide necessary treatment.
It is vital that over the course of the next few years, as Myanmar develops, the fight against HIV/AIDS does not stagnate but becomes even more diligent.
In my life I've met people dealing with PTSD, drug addiction, displacement and disease, and I'm struck by the similarity in spirit between these people, despite the obvious divides. It has been a goal of mine to realize and mend this schism through photography, be it mental, physical or geographical in nature.
Documenting the lives of people around the world will help those who have no access to such situations understand that the subjects of my photographs could easily be their parent, sibling or partner. Despite differences in language, skin color, religion or way of life, we all share the same basic needs for empathy, understanding and acceptance.
