Is Errors and Omissions Insurance required by law?
No, it's not, but why not reduce your risk and avoid the financial loss of a potential lawsuit? It's protection and peace of mind for YOU. Your car insurance provides you with protection, too. Whether or not it is required by law is secondary to your protection.

Who is this Gold Panda? What is this hipster electronic music?
The likes of Resident Advisor seem to suggest a certain Axel Willner aka The Field, only dressed in skinny jeans and a Topman cardigan.
Well it does feel like we're listening in on a young, angsty muso with a carefully assembled record collection, one dusty sampler and an illegal copy of Ableton Live – all prompted by one life-changing Four Tet/Caribou/Pantha Du Prince gig in his London town. No surprise, then, that Gold Panda joins the swelling ranks of such producers in a block party that typically presents its sound manifesto as obscurity and/or sentimentality. Much like this review of an album released in September last year, but whatever, man…
Good news is, Lucky Shiner's embrace of such criteria has given us a charmingly sincere and intimate debut full-length. Its rigorously sliced and moulded textures reveal Panda's obsession for every ragtag, hard-to-find sample. But these are sounds also steeped in varyingly inviting degrees of both sorrow and joy. The album's greatest success yet is in adhering to such preoccupations of so-called leftfield electronica acts, and still standing on its own for, in addition, being superbly danceable.
Shiner sees Panda's sampling urges taking turns to function as both potent weapon and glaring flaw, veering him dangerously close to the repulsively overworked notion of 'electronic music mashed with vague exotic Asian theme'. Take India Lately, possibly the album's poorest: a murmuring commotion of chants and sitar that culminates only in its own fizzing out, it's the one tune here with a 'world music' stink raised by Panda's excessive fetishization of imported source material.
Then there are the moments which strikingly realise his widespread musical influences, like Same Dream China, where Oriental/Japanese marimbas and quivering lutes mingle in fluffy, joyous union:
Marriage, too, despite sounding less a celebration of matrimony than a fuzzy vinyl trip of nostalgia, features a notably forlorn koto riff that thankfully tempers the cheerfulness of atmosphere:
Together, the tracks represent a coherent effort that ultimately transports: whether to inner meaning and reflection, or the tacky schmaltz of misty-eyed edginess, remains subjective to the listener. But it is clear that Gold Panda is responsible for some of the most intriguingly beautiful electronic music out there, right now. Music suffused with vivid, moving and sheer emotion; affecting every tone and timbre of your heart, mind and soul.

Project Statistics
SourceForge.net provides a real-time statistics system for tracking and trending project activity (user visits, posts to Tracker, downloads, etc.). Project statistics are the basis of project rankings, which permit the activity and vitality of two projects to be compared head-to-head.
- Project statistics may be accessed using the "Statistics" menu option under the "Summary" dropdown menu on any project's Project Summary page.
- The statistics system permits the viewing of data with a selectable time period: last 7 days (daily), last 2 months (daily), last 12 months (monthly), per-year (monthly), and all time (annual).
- SourceForge.net subscribers are provided access to real-time statistics data for the past 48 hours through the "Last 48 hours" time period.
- Graphs of project activity are provided, helping you visually identify trends.
- Project administrators are given access to a "Rank History" page, which provides a breakdown of the components of their project ranking.
What benefit does statistics data provide to my project?
- Publicity: High project ranking will list project in our top projects listing and move the project toward the top of the listings for search results and the Software Map.
- Self-Evaluation: Projects may use the statistics to determine whether overall product usage is increasing or declining, and help gauge buzz about new releases.
- SourceForge.net Feature Usage: Statistics allow projects to trend their project activity on a per-feature basis, which helps in the evaluation of which project features should be enabled to best meet the needs of the project.
- Project Growth: Project teams love the encouragement they receive from active use of their software.
- Capacity Needs: How does SourceForge.net help you? SourceForge.net project services are provided free of charge. The download and project web activity pages will give you an idea of the volume of traffic you are serving through our servers, and how that compares to other, similar projects hosted on SourceForge.net.
Project Web Statistics
There are three sets of data collected on the project web statistics. These are:
- Hits: The total number of files served from the project web service, as per collected web server log data.
- Pages: The total number of times the project web logo was loaded.
- Bandwidth: The aggregate amount of data transferred from the project web service to and from people who access the project web pages.
Project logos may be displayed on external web sites in order to have our statistics engine count such pages. However, the Hits value and the Bandwidth value will not increase when external hosting is used. Use of the provided logo image is only permitted for use on project-related pages on external hosted web sites, or on pages served from project web space.

Kia Orana & welcome to Atiu Guesthouse
We would like to take you on a virtual tour across our island. We start at the Atiu Guesthouse.
Walking towards the centre of the island along the main road, we pass a round-about behind which is the small shop of the Atiu Development Corporation.
Local growers bring their produce and one of the local bakers, whose bakery is located on the other side of the island, brings bread to our shop to save our customers a trip to his bakery.
Staying on the left side of the road, we pass the hospital and Dental Clinic. Though our population has shrunk to some 550 people, we are fortunate to have a resident doctor, well trained nurses and a dental officer on the island. Both medical and dental students like to come to Atiu for short-term practical training.
Across the road from the hospital you see St. Anthony, the Catholic Church. 2009 is an important year for St. Anthony: the church was erected 100 years ago.
The large colonial building on the other corner of the crossroads was erected as home for the New Zealand resident agents who administered the islands after their annexation to the British Empire in 1888. It is now used as office building for our local island government.
New Zealand taxpayers donated the Women's Centre, a thatched house next to the Atiu Nui Hall. At times the Atiu women use it to sell home-made crafts or plates of cooked food to raise funds for community projects.
The majestic building of the Cook Islands Christian Church (CICC) is said to be the largest in the Cook Islands. Atiu was the first island to build a lime stone church of which early missionary accounts mention that it was so prominent that it could be seen from far out at sea. Its unique bell tower was added in the 1950s.
Right next to the Sunday school behind the Boys Brigade ground across from the church we find the office of Air Rarotonga, our country's national airline.
Opposite Jumbo Bakery we find another church: that of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA). They celebrate their Sabbath on Saturdays. For all other religious denominations, 6 altogether, Sunday is the day of the Lord. The Centre Store next door carries the widest variety of goods on the island.
We turn right at Teenui's two-storey meeting house to follow the signboards that lead us to The Atiu Fibre Arts Studio. The unpaved road winds past pig pens and a family graveyard to the textile art gallery. Images of the art works and more information can be found on the company's own website.
We return past the graves and the pigs and the ADC Filling Station and turn left. Soon we reach Enuamanu School. From Kindergarten to fifth form, 154 students fill its classrooms. The school tries hard to keep up with modern times and our students learn the use of computers, have (limited) access to the internet for their homework research and a small library on site so they don't forget what books are used for.
At times, we guess the children's mouths must water when the bread is ready in the large stone-oven of next door's Akai Bakery, or when the delicious smells of freshly roasted coffee wafts down through the air from the Atiu Coffee Factory which is just at the next corner.
We want to take you down through the makatea now, the raised fossilized coral reef that is, in most parts, overgrown with lush tropical rain-forest. On the slope we pass one of our coffee factory's plantations. The road ends at the runway and when we look left we can see the airport building in the distance. Atiu's first airport was built in 1978. Works for this new airport, whose crushed coral airstrip is long enough to land a 32-seater Saab, commenced in 1982.
Following the road we reach the harbour, Taunganui Landing. Visitors who landed here in the early 1900s would have seen strong men carrying cargo across the coral reef on their backs. In 1975 the New Zealand Army helped Atiu to build the harbour as we see it today.
We keep following the road and get to Orovaru, Cook's Landing. Captain James Cook never touched land on the 3rd of April 1777, but instead sent ashore his Lieutenant Gore, commander of the Discovery, and Tahitian interpreter Omai.
We take a detour which takes us to Te Roto, Atiu's lake. The fresh water hole is surrounded by taro plantations that form a patchwork of different shades of green. Taro tubers are an important part of the Polynesian's daily diet.
Continuing our way uphill we meet the main road just left of the Atiu Villas where you will also find "Kura's Kitchen". We turn left and, on our way home, pass Aunty Parua's Terangi Nui Café, Atiu's other restaurant. Both places require you to book your meal in advance, preferably before 3 PM, because our island has never had enough visitors at a time to make à la carte dining possible.
In approximately 10 minutes we will be back where we started, at the Are Manuiri, our guesthouse. We trust that the images of our island have cast their spell on you and entice you to book your stay with us during your next vacation.

Everyone's heard of Aruba, thanks to the Beach Boys' catchy "Kokomo" tune, but corporate groups are still discovering this tropical incentive destination.
Located off the coast of Venezuela and outside the Caribbean hurricane belt, Aruba's climate remains steady year-round: Temperatures average 82 degrees, and a strong breeze blows constantly. An average annual rainfall of under 20 inches results in a desert landscape, although resorts like the Radisson Aruba have managed to cultivate spectacularly green grounds, thanks to irrigation and the nearly constant sunshine.
About 70 percent of visitors to Aruba are Americans. A high standard of living, which contributes to a low crime rate, is a big draw. "It's considered a no-hassle, safe destination," says Jeff Lesker, general manager for the Radisson.
Sun worshippers prefer Aruba for its pristine beaches, but this compact destination (6 miles by 19 miles) offers plenty of activities for groups as well.
Tierra del Sol Resort & Country Club has opened Aruba's first world-class golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones II to complement the natural surroundings. Opened in the mid-1990s, it incorporates native cactus, rock formations, and native fauna including parakeets and neon-colored lizards. A spa at the clubhouse offers a variety of treatments. A new nine-hole golf course is scheduled to open in early 2004.
Four-wheel drive "safaris" are offered as a teambuilding exercise, history lesson, and up-close way to see the island's less-developed areas. Beachfront horseback riding provides a quieter and slower-paced alternative.
And, of course, the azure Caribbean beckons with water sports such as deep-sea fishing, sailing, scuba, snorkeling, and "snuba" (a cross between snorkeling and scuba).
Casinos, nightclubs, and international dining options abound in Aruba. Aruban-style restaurants serve up fresh seafood and local specialties such as pastechis (spicy filled pastries), kesio (caramel custard), and tutu (cornmeal mush with black-eyed peas). The island has its own Chain de Rotisseurs chapter, representing the fine-dining establishments such as Chez Matilde, a charming four-diamond French restaurant that occupies one of the original 19th-century homes in Aruba's capitol, Oranjested (and is available for private parties).
Aruba lies about a two-and-a-half-hour flight from a handful of U.S. east coast gateways, including Atlanta, Miami, Charlotte, Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. Direct flights are also available from Houston and Chicago, and seasonal charter service is offered from a number of locations.

U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today that he will be stepping down from his post when a successor is found.
The following statement is from Earthjustice senior associate attorney Tim Ballo:
"Earthjustice thanks Secretary Chu for prioritizing energy efficiency by setting or updating efficiency standards for more than a dozen categories of consumer products and commercial equipment and enforcing these standards to ensure their benefits reached American families. But we call on him to cement his legacy by addressing the Department's backlog of unmet deadlines. Standards that are now overdue for eight products are costing Americans $300 million each month in higher energy bills and resulting in millions of tons of carbon dioxide pollution.
"As Secretary Chu knows, we can cut energy consumption and curb greenhouse gases by setting and enforcing strong national efficiency standards for buildings, appliances and industrial equipment. Americans are counting on him to finish this work and get the Department caught up before handing the reins to a successor."

Hello guys..My name is LordSyafiq from Malaysia and I'm new and also an oldtimer in Old MT here... so, I hope we can know each other better well...hehehehe..Ahem!! Well let's look at the recent arts...here goes...:-
Greetings everyone,
Hope everyone alright back there and i pray to the Almighty to bless each one of you all Aminn...*prays*
I have return yet again after a period of silence and as you've predicted, not new but 2 month old recently artwork and scan it for everyone to see what I do in my secret drawings these days X33
Finalized penciling design of Force Commander Romanov and one of the Main Secret Drawing Project which I silently draws to complete the overall process. So, I'll exposed the penciling version of it and hopefully it can gives everyone an insight on what I do these days...
OK, let's move on... I use 2H, H and HB pencil to perform on the B5 size paper. Took 2 days without decent sleep and manage to complete it... This is the full version of his armored sarcophagus where he was assassinated, confined in and become the Commander. (like a Dreadnought in Warhammer 40K - Dawn of War) I used 2 songs that is Command & Conquer Red Alert The First one - Hell March and Kagamine Rin - Kokoro (Vocaloid) which suitable for the drawing.
I noticed he's like a Golem or a Dwarf style by the looks of it and way heavies (heavy)....Well, already too late as I already colored and inked it secretly in 3 version... I'd say (to myself) a tough one to be taken down....O.o My apologies for my scanning quality....TTwTT

NEWCASTLE coach Wayne Bennett said mid-season recruit Dane Gagai would bring a ''God-given'' talent to the Knights that he could not teach.
The Newcastle Herald website reported yesterday that the discarded Brisbane Broncos utility back was on the verge of joining the Knights, and the club later confirmed his signing, effective immediately, until the end of 2014.
Gagai will train with his new teammates for the first time today but it is understood he is unlikely to make his Newcastle debut against his old club at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday.
Considering him as a winger, centre or fullback, Bennett will monitor Gagai's progress this week but would not discuss whether he would be considered for selection against the Broncos.
''This guy's a rare talent,'' Bennett told the Herald last night.
''That's why we've brought him here, because he can bring something that I can't coach, and he can bring something the fans want to watch, and that's God-given.
''If we get the other part right, he can hopefully have a decade here. He's young, and we're investing a fair bit in our youth here.
''If he was just another footy player that didn't have those special qualities, well we wouldn't have recruited him.
''He's got speed, he's highly skilled, and he's a football player. In other words, he's not an athlete, but he's got a footy brain about him.''
The 21-year-old former Junior Kangaroos representative signed a two-year contract with the Broncos in March but Brisbane coach Anthony Griffin told him three weeks ago that he would no longer be considered for NRL selection due to a series of disciplinary breaches.
Gagai's indiscretions were undisclosed but Bennett said the Mackay-born former Queensland schoolboys rugby union representative was not guilty of any abusive or anti-social behaviour linked to drugs or alcohol.
''We need to be candid about it. At the end of the day, the Broncos realised his wonderful potential but felt they'd gone as far as they could with him,'' Bennett said.
''But from all my questioning of people that mattered up there was the fact that he doesn't have a drinking problem and he certainly doesn't do drugs.
''He was missing the odd session here and there, or being late, and he was probably not as disciplined off the field as they wanted him to be.
''They felt he was getting in with the wrong crowd, and the influences around him weren't good for him, so they just ran out of patience with him.
''That happens sometimes at footy clubs. The issues are not huge.
''Those young kids that come out of home at such young ages, they get homesick and that type of stuff, and I know they can lose their way a little bit.
''They thought it was in his best interests to release him so that he could get another start and get on with his life a little bit, so hopefully we can help him do that.''
When the Broncos released him, Gagai said he ''stuffed up'' and their decision was the ''kick in the pants'' he needed.
Bennett said Gagai had to support that sentiment with better behaviour off the field.
''In all of this stuff, wherever you go, you've got to take yourself. He has to change his attitude too. He can say he needs a change of environment, which is fine, but the end result is if he doesn't change some of his behaviour, well nothing's going to change,'' he said.
''But I've met with him, and I'm confident that will take place.
''Will he be the perfect child? No, I'd probably say not.
''He'll have his moments, but he'll be a lot better than he has been and he'll get there by maturity, which is how it works for some of these kids.
''I feel it's something we can manage with both parties working together.
''There's always a bit of risk in what you do with anything, but the point I'm making, if he misses a few training sessions and he doesn't aim up in some areas there, well that's going to be an issue for us as it is for any club.
''But we're not dealing with alcohol and drugs here. We're not dealing with a guy that's got abusive or bad behaviour. He's not running around terrorising the neighbourhood.
''He just needs to get his act together.''
Bennett coached Gagai's father, Ray, in the early years at the Broncos, but Dane joined the club's junior system in 2009, the year Bennett left for the Dragons.
Gagai has been playing for Redcliffe, Brisbane's Queensland Cup feeder club, since the Broncos showed him the door.
It is understood up to eight NRL clubs were chasing Gagai, and he considered returning to the 15-man code and joining defending Super Rugby champions Queensland Reds, but he narrowed his choices to the Knights, Cowboys and Raiders then settled on Newcastle.
"I am really glad I have decided on my future and excited to be going to the Knights," Gagai said in a club media release.
"Wayne coached my father and I look forward to now playing under Wayne as well."
Gagai's incentive-based contract is structured to be included in the Knights' second-tier salary cap for this season, with the capacity to earn more in the next two years.
The Knights have also re-signed NSW Cup prop Robbie Rochow until the end of 2014 and National Youth Cup utility back Will Smith until the end of 2013.

Danailov: 'Are we going to murder ECU with political dependence?'
"What I see are two of the candidates becoming victims of political games, tying themselves and the future of European chess with the choice of one or another personality for FIDE President", says Silvio Danailov in his official statement for running for President of the European Chess Union (ECU) which was sent to chess media this morning.
Are we going to murder ECU with political dependence?
By Silvio Danailov , Candidate for ECU President
The elections for European Chess Union President are dawning upon us. The intentions of the candidates and their teams in the campaigns are now clear. What is also clear is that the faith of the European chess will depend on in which hands we will decide to surrender it.
Now, just days before the final dash, is the right time for us to stop and rethink what has been said and done by the candidates for the Presidential position. To have a sober judgment on whether they are offering real things or soap bubbles, whether they are capable of fulfilling their promises and, of the very most importance, whether they are telling the truth.
Regretfully, the facts are very disturbing. What I see are two of the candidates becoming victims of political games, tying themselves and the future of European chess with the choice of one or another personality for FIDE President. As to clarify, Mr. Ali Nihat Yazici does not keep his relationship with Mr. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov secret and neither does Mr.Robert von Weizsa?cker with the other candidate for FIDE Presidency - Mr. Anatoly Karpov.
Is this what we want – political equilibrists, puppets on strings, whose decisions and actions will follow third party interests, remaining deaf to the actual needs of the European federations? Is this what we want - the faith of the ECU to be decided not by the European federations, but by FIDE clerks? Apart from being contrary to common sense, an eventual choice of one of the two politically dependent candidates is in full dissonance with the characteristic of the EU geopolitical emancipation – Europe to solve its problems not under the command of, but with the cooperation of the other world factors.
The pre-election outwitting is at its peak. Candidates are giving their pre-election promises – one is offering to the European federations 300 thousand dollars a year, another is proposing to cover travelling expenses for FIDE Executive Board and General Assembly. There is a catch - please notice that this will happen if and only if after winning the ECU Presidency the corresponding partner of theirs is elected for FIDE President. But what if the candidate for FIDE President in question is not elected? There is no plan B!
Upon us is the moment for an important and responsible decision – what person do we want for President of our organization? Political equilibrists, who are experienced only in giving beautiful promises, who once elected will begin to explain beautifully why they cannot fulfill their campaign promises? Or an independent candidate and a businessman with professional team, who will turn the ECU in a working and profitable organization, without putting its future at stake depending on political games and pretty lies.
I am convinced that you, just like I, want to have a strong and independent ECU, belonging to the European federations. That is why I appeal to you to be extremely careful in your choice because the future of European chess in the coming four years will depend on it.
Will we murder ECU with political dependence? Together we can change the chess politics, together we can eliminate the strictly political factor and walk towards an independent European Chess Union. European Chess Union which will closely cooperate with FIDE for the benefit of chess stakeholders as a self-sufficient partner, not as a subordinate or dependent.

Well, maybe most of the people do not like Danailov, so what?
The most important question here is who could be able to do much for Chess in Europe as ECU President?
The questionmarks Danailov did set are great, but he misses at least one point:
The ECU candidate Weizäcker may has only be "created" in order to get the preparation done to exchange him by another current member of the board by the german chess federation's election 2011.
We do not have to guess whom I am talking about, don't we?
Well - beside of the basic level of chess activities (club level, where chess is mostly promoted by hard work) since 2009 this guy is member of the board within ALL other existing levels of chess organizations in Germany (FOUR out of 5).
Weizäcker himself does not have a clue what's going on here (within ECU and in Germany itself).
Good luck Danailov!

Danailov´s track record speaks for itself. He is not to be trusted. He is a manipulative, power hungry burocrat whose first concern is most likely not the bright or not future of European chess, but his own agenda, wallet and ambitions.
He just brought 10 millions to chess, organized five high-class tournaments and a world chamionship with extremely large dotations, he turned a promising 18-years old champion into a superstrong grandmaster, while prof von. i-dont-know-what is just unable to bring any penny to his national team. While Yacizi is maybe not so bad, but he's just not so good !
So that is completely true, his record speaks for itself (and for "himself" ^^)
3 years 8 months ago
At the start of his campaign, Danailov said there's no need for him to run for FIDE president as he's perfectly happy with the current one. Makes sense from his perspective: Ilyumzhinov gave Topalov a free point in Elista, a shortcut to the next WCh match and two matches in his home country.
Then it looked like Karpov might win the FIDE elections, and Danailov tried to get on good terms with him inviting him to the Sofia WCh match.
Then both candidates disappointed him, wanting to move the candidates event to Kazan or Kiev rather than Sofia ... .
Now Danailov sells himself as being independent. Call this flexible or opportunistic, either way it takes guts to consider it an asset in the election campaign.

I think Danailov is right when he is speaking about puppets in strings :)
If you analize deeply, just this 2 guys are puppets and only looking who will winn FIDE elections: what they can bring to European Chess? Ali Yazici is declaring he will bring all nations to play European Championship and like following UEFA, but this is bullshit! how you can unrated chessplayers from several small countries compare with great players? system 1 contrey 1 vote is perfectly working during elections because every nations decerved to have a voice, but what does it mean proff sport - this is a competition for Best European playersa nd nothing to do with politic!
And German candidate is speaking about millions of $...on behalfe KARPOV!!! He is a son of former President of Germany, great countrey and can't bring to his federation which he is serving any Euro...shame!!!
DANAILOV IS MOST SIMPHATIC PERSON! and Please vote for him!
I am a chess lover from Malaysia :)
Why is the job of FIDE President such a bitterly fought campaign? All these accusations of lies, corruption and murder etc...whats the big attraction? Does Mr President get a huge salary, an official residence and a lear jet?...is it the girls, the power, the machismo???
Running for the Presidency of the United States seems tame in comparison.

"He is not to be trusted. He is a manipulative, power hungry burocrat whose first concern is most likely not the bright or not future of European chess, but his own agenda, wallet and ambitions."
Sounds above average for a chess politician :)

I have never seen a news story where the ECU acts as a union on behalf of the players. So why does the chess world need them anyway?
@test: apart from a union, what about a separate ECU rating? Or ECU rules of chess? Danailov is not proposing any of those either, so it's indeed questionable what exactly the ECU is good for.
Apart from that, I don't really see what's wrong with supporting a FIDE presidential candidate. If ECU is really the independent body Danailov says it should be, then why would this matter at all?
3 years 8 months ago
Danailov's successes are of course very real and palpable, but they are mostly due to his political connections in Bulgaria. In fact, I don't see other reasons for his presidency than his ability to squeeze a million of two out of Bulgarian government and corporations. So I don't know why he should consider himself any less political than the other candidates.
Besides the point, ECU is probably good for 1. financing European Championship 2. financing European Team Championship 3. financing chess bureaucrats.

Danilov a ---deleted--- you shouldn't give him any publicity.
3 years 8 months ago
@ Arne. I don´t know which of the candidates is more appropriate, but I think Danailov might have a point if what he says is true. That is, if candidate A offers a budget for the ECU but this budget depends on the fact that his respective candidate for FIDE president wins the elections, what does candidate A have to offer if his respective FIDE candidate doesn´t win? Candidates for ECU presidency should have an independent program to offer, one that they can guarantee independently of who becomes FIDE president. Other than that, I´m not especially against ECU candidates supporting one particular FIDE candidate.
@ChessGirl: Fair enough, but independence is really impossible in this game, don't you think? For instance, suppose according to this principle we separate Danailov from the Bulgarian businesspeople supporting him, or from the Bulgarian government - what's left of him? Not much, I'd say.

Tired of all this Danailov bashing here. We know you don't like Toiletgate. No need to repeat it over and over again.
3 years 8 months ago
has danailov done more good than bad for chess? i think despite Toiletgate the answer must be yes. He knows how to get matches/ tournies and money into chess.

TELLURIDE – "I've always wanted to help people heal," says Brianne Beauregard, Ayurvedic counselor, holistic nutritionist and holistic esthetician, a steaming cup of chai tea clasped between her hands.
In Beauregard's Lawson Hill home, which doubles as her office, clients are engulfed by the body- and mind-soothing tools of her trade: all-organic, custom-blended Ayurvedic oils,; organic, paraben-free, and fragrance-free skin care products; and Jane Iredale mineral-based cosmetics line the shelves in her intimate treatment room. Ayurvedic cookbooks take up room in her airy, herb-scented kitchen, where she also holds Ayurvedic cooking classes.
As Beauregard explains it, what she does as a health practitioner extends beyond a singular modality; health is a holistic experience, and her work is a reflection of that synergistic connection between mind, body, soul – and health.
"It's about getting back to being in touch with and listening to our bodies, and utilizing some very basic ancient remedies" for optimal health, Beauregard explains of her business, which she operates both in Telluride and in Connecticut.
As a holistic health counselor, Beauregard specializes in nutrition and lifestyle guidance, melding with that her perspective on health as an Ayurvedic counselor, having studied this millennia-old system of healing from ancient India focused on preventing illness and promoting health. Moreover, Beauregard is a licensed Master Esthetician, having completed more than 900 hours of advanced esthetics training including aromatherapy, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, and shiatsu; she is also a master make-up artist and certified yoga teacher.
Beauregard's experience and educational background in these varied systems of integrative health provide her with a unique perspective on just how to accomplish her professional intentions: That is, to help people heal.
After earning her esthetician's license over a decade ago, Beauregard began to observe that many of her clients – and she, herself – weren't finding solutions to their skin problems just through good skin care regimens. "I began to realize that the underlying roots of many of these issues weren't just external, and to resolve them, I needed to do something internal," she says, by way of explaining her impetus for continuing her education in dietetics and nutrition.
She came closer to realizing comprehensive improvements in overall health by adding the diet and nutrition component to her practice, but still felt there was something missing.
"I was helping my clients physically, whether it was through my facials or nutrition consultations, or both, but I realized they wanted something more; they wanted spiritual training as well," she says, of the what drove her to follow the Ayurvedic path.
Beauregard started her career at one of the country's top ten spas, going on to become a certified Lifestyle Educator, and was employed at a prominent Integrative Medical Center in Connecticut as their sole nutritional counselor.
Wanting to be closer to the outdoor lifestyle, she and her husband moved to Telluride last winter, while she finished her studies to become an Ayurvedic counselor through the Mount Madonna Institute, College of Ayurveda.
Ayurveda literally means the "Science of Life," Beauregard explains, and a consultation provides guidelines on ideal daily and seasonal routines, diet and behavior. Each appointment begins with an in-depth review of a client's health history and a discussion of long-term health goals.
As an Ayurvedic consultant, Beauregard can guide clients to find balance in their lives, utilizing diet and lifestyle changes that help awaken individuals' ability to heal themselves. She specializes in food allergies, allergen-free cooking classes, weight management and plant-based sports nutrition, and offers recipes as well as basic diet guidelines for each individual's specific lifestyle and constitution.
On the aesthetics side, Beauregard specializes in sensitive skin care and treatments, using her knowledge of both internal and external health for a comprehensive approach to beauty and wellness.
"It is a spiritual experience," she says of her all-organic facials, which include all the traditional facial elements as well as a therapeutic massage and a focus on pressure points. Ayurvedic treatments, such as Nasya and Karnapoorana, where heated medicated oils are dripped into the nose or ear canal, can be added on to any facial treatment.
"Everything I do, I do with a lot of love," Beauregard admits.

Kendall residents report UFO sighting
By Steve Lord firstname.lastname@example.com February 25, 2013 6:30PM
Updated: March 27, 2013 6:24AM
He owns his own business, has a family and is respected in the community.
Which is why the resident of unincorporated Bristol Township, north of the city of Yorkville, said he did not want to give his name as he described the UFO — yes, unidentified flying object — he thinks he saw from his home Saturday night.
"They'll say, he's really off his rocker this time," the man said Monday.
But the man is sticking to his story that just before 8 p.m. Saturday, he, his wife and his daughter saw two lights moving east northeast, with colors ranging from red, orange, yellow and pink.
The lights "were together either one in front of the other or side by side and going at a pretty good clip and in the eastern sky …," the man said in his description. Eventually, "one fizzled out and the other lasted a few more moments and appeared to also fizzle out."
He said he would have thought they could be lit lanterns, except that there was hardly any wind Saturday, and the lights would have had to have been self-propelled.
"Their symmetry was they stayed at the same distance from one another, never straying apart from each other at all," he added.
The man reported the sighting to MUFON, or the Mutual UFO Network, which advised him to call local press. By reporting what he saw, the man said other people who might have seen the lights could come forward.
"How else are you going to find out?" he said.
According to MUFON, some people in other parts of the country already have come forward and reported a similar occurrence. The man said a sighting in Tucson, Ariz., sounds amazingly like what he saw.
He said someone else has claimed to MUFON that they have it on video.
But no one in proximity to the Bristol Township family apparently saw it, or at least has yet to report it. Yorkville police said they got no reports of strange lights Saturday night.
The man said one of the questions the MUFON website — www.mufon.com — asks people who report a sighting is if there was any psychological affect.
"I said, well, sure there was," he said. "If you see something you can't explain … I've never seen a UFO like that at all before. When it happens to you, it makes you stop."

Why You Need a Product Management Coach
Who needs a coach? My opinion is that everyone does I personally have two, one for business and one for personal areas in my life. But don't take my word for it. Look at the studies and the facts.

Easier Being Green
What one fleet is doing to prepare for hybrid technology.
"The best part about hybrid technology is that it is an incremental step forward in solidly based existing science. If you have been on a cruise ship, you know that the propellers are turned by a big electric motor whose power is generated by a diesel power plant--the ultimate hybrid. We have known for years that locomotives are run the same way," says Survant.
The urgency to replace vehicles now is because "Most large fleets, who are huge users of fuel, only replace a relatively small portion of their equipment annually. So, in 2007, Survant says, when I start to buy the new generation engine, which of course I can use in front of my hybrid drivetrain, I will only have about 10 percent of my existing fleet replaced in a given year.
"It will be three years, or 2010, before I will get a meaningful number of these units in service. This means that we are looking at five years from now before I will get any real noticeable change in my fleet exhaust profile -- that's a long time to wait before we see a change. If we wait for fuel cells, how much more time will we burn up in anticipation," Survant says.
"Always the problems we have had with alternative fuel vehicles, they have been a trade off between payload and range." Survant says referring to Ford Crown Victorias bought in California to convert to compressed natural gas (CNG).
"We had to give up pay load to get enough range to be useful for the drivers. We not only had to put a CNG tank under the vehicle, but also in the trunk. So, ordinarily a large car with a generous trunk shrunk to what would comfortably fit a set of golf clubs. This meant shorter range, but with an excellent payload. That means more fill ups and more infrastructure necessary.
"One of the things we like with the hybrid technology over a traditional all electric approach is that the truck can be refueled anywhere. The infrastructure to support the truck is offered all over the country and we can continue to push payload from the Florida keys to Alaska without waiting for an infrastructure that isn't available today," Survant says.
"Generally speaking, the hybrid drivetrain could be made into a fuel cell with just the same ease of effort that we made an internal combustion engine with the hybrid drivetrain," Survant says. "So, the hybrid technology has the promise to evolve with us as our engine technology evolves. In addition to having multiple advantages, hybrid technology has potential to evolve with the engines and drivetrains and with sources of fuel.
"If you really had a passion to put a Cummins Westport diesel in front of this hybrid package, I suppose that this would be just as viable as a standard off the shelf diesel package--just more expensive," he says.
"We really feel like the technology is an integral part of being able to serve our customers here in Florida because the working trucks that restore the power are the heart of our business," Survant says.
"One of the problems with other alternative fuel choices in the past has been that they have been one-dimensional choices in the fact that I could get one engine designed by one manufacturer or worse case, two engines from one manufacturer, and I was locked into a very specific drivetrain and drivetrain assembly and infrastructure.
"Our whole effort with these hybrids revolves around three very simple concepts. This is an adaptation of well developed technology, it is something we can do to make a real change right now, and it allows us to address several dimensions of a broader problem all at once--it makes for a compelling story," he says.

It's been established recently that many prospects prefer to communicate through text messaging and social media.
That's why the NCAA is trying to figure out how to manage the way college coaches can interact with prospects.
But coaches haven't forgotten their old school ways. We've recently seen schools use a "new" trend of mailing letters to recruits. A lot of letters.
Quarterback Drew Barker is the latest. The standout from Conner High School in Burlington, Ky., recently received 115 letters from Kentucky. The Wildcats wanted to make sure Barker knows he's a priority in Lexington.
"I opened up the mailbox like I do every day, and they started falling out," Barker told the Louisville Courier-Journal. "I was like, 'Oh, my gosh.' It was insane what it looked like in my mailbox. It was all crammed in there, and they had a bunch of rubber bands around them. It was pretty awesome and I was pretty shocked."
Pretty awesome? Receiving 115 letters at one time might seem a little over the top to some people. But Barker's not alone in feeling the love.
Athlete Stanton Truitt from Monroe, Ga., told ESPN RecruitingNation earlier this month he received 102 letters from Tennessee. Like Barker, Truitt saw it as a sign that he's a wanted man.
"It was shocking and it shows me that they think highly of me and really love me," Truitt told ESPN. "It makes me feel important to them and makes me want to work harder and keep doing what I have been doing."
The mailbox-stuffing idea isn't new. Alabama sent 2013 running back Alvin Kamara of Norcross, Ga., 105 letters in Feb. 2012. Kamara, for the record, did sign with the Crimson Tide a year later.
Will Kentucky, Tennessee and others have similar success in the future? Time will tell, but Barker admitted it helped Kentucky in its effort to land the U.S. Army All-American.
"People are wondering if recruits like that stuff," Barker said. "I'd say if anybody got that amount of letters in the mail in one day, I think they'd definitely like it."
Coaches will certainly take notice. And while they continue to post messages on twitter, coaches will likely send an assistant to the post office to grab an extra stack of Forever stamps.
Texas A&M leads the way
The Aggies continue to receive high praise on the recruiting trail. The latest comes from Sporting News.
Texas A&M, which has 10 commitments for the class of 2014, has the nation's top class for next year, according to Sporting News. Brian McLaughlin wrote the following:
"The first program to reach double-digit commitments, the Aggies are getting it done as well as any program the past few years. The program has swagger. "What has become cool to me is all the hype surrounding College Station right now," 4-star Texas A&M recruit Josh Walker told Sporting News recently. " … I do think A&M has become sexier than Texas because of the fact that they're the only SEC team in Texas and a lot of athlete want to play in the pre-NFL conference."
Which school is second to Texas A&M in the Sporting News rankings? Texas.
There are four other SEC schools ranked in the Sporting News top 10: LSU (3), Florida (4), Tennessee (8), Alabama (9).
While the Crimson Tide might seem low, they only have three commitments for the 2014 class. Their standing will surely rise as their number of commitments does as well.
Another sleeping Tiger for LSU?
LSU's commitment list grew to eight on Tuesday when Sharieff Rhaheed from Fort Pierce, Fla., gave his pledge to the Tigers.
He chose LSU over offers from such schools as Ole Miss, Tennessee, Louisville, North Carolina State and Penn State.
According to James Smith of the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, LSU might have found another diamond in the rough in Rhaheed. Smith wrote:
"Due to his current size, Rhaheed currently grades out best as a linebacker, but it is not out of the question that he could ultimately grow into a defensive end. That, combined with his tremendous first step and natural pass-rushing ability, could make him even more valuable. Nevertheless, if he doesn't end up growing into a defensive end, LSU will have a big, athletic linebacker who it could use in multiple packages."
Those are always useful.
Wiggins meets with Kentucky
Kentucky already has the nation's top basketball class for 2013, which should help the Wildcats return to SEC title contention next season.
But what if Kentucky adds the nation's top overall prospect to its already impressive list?
Wildcats coach John Calipari is trying. He met with forward Andrew Wiggins of Huntington (W.V.) Prep on Thursday.
"Cal just reiterated that he wants Andrew at Kentucky and to see if he had questions or concerns about anything," Huntington coach Rob Fulford told SNY.tv. "Andrew did not have any."
Wiggins is considering Kentucky, Florida State, Kansas and North Carolina. He hasn't announced a date for his decision.
How big-time of a prospect is Wiggins? First, check out this video. You'll see why Wiggins is already looking forward to playing against the NBA's biggest stars.
"LeBron (James), Kevin Durant, Kobe (Bryant), Carmelo (Anthony)," Wiggins said during a recent softball-throwing interview when asked which players he's excited to play against.
Will Kentucky really be able to lure Wiggins to Lexington when its 2013 class is already crowded? It seems doubtful. Then again, it's John Calipari and recruiting. There are worse people to bet on.

Call it the $55,000 cat bite.
That's the rough total in medical costs (so far) for a cat bite on my hand that turned into an infection that turned into surgery that turned into a week in the hospital. Cruddy cat.
When I first wrote about the episode in November, I observed that it opened my eyes about various aspects of the healthcare system, not the least of which was the extraordinary care provided by nurses and the state-of-the-art resources available to doctors.
I still have my left hand, thanks to them.
But the bill has finally arrived, and I'm a good deal less impressed with the money side of our medical system. Put simply, it's nuts.
Quiz: Test your healthcare knowledge
Case in point: My cozy hospital room at UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica was priced at $4,000 a night. Four thousand. You can book a 1,400-square-foot Premier Suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel for less than that.
Another case in point: Sixteen bucks for a Tylenol. Actually, not even a proper Tylenol. That's for the generic equivalent.
"It's totally crazy," admitted Dr. David Feinberg, who isn't just some innocent bystander when it comes to UCLA's medical pricing. He's the president of UCLA Health System. He runs the place.
"Our billing system is terrible," Feinberg told me. "I get some explanations of benefits from my insurer, and I don't understand what they are."
To be fair, it's not just UCLA that's guilty of loony pricing. It's almost all hospitals and clinics.
This is the flip side to our exceptional levels of treatment — the insane and systematic inflation of prices to accommodate contracts with insurers and so-called cost shifting that leaves people lucky enough to have insurance holding the bag for those who don't.
Happily, that system may be coming to an end thanks to Obamacare. More on that in a moment.
First, let's take a closer look at some of the charges I racked up during my hospital stay. At four grand a night, that's $24,000 right there.
The surgery on my hand: $12,282. Anesthesia: $780. MRI: $3,290. Assorted drugs: $3,412. Laboratory services: $4,534. Inserting a tube in my arm so I could have an intravenous drip at home: $2,352.
All in all, the various services and supplies I received were priced at $52,660.53. The assorted doctor visits and physical-therapy appointments that have accompanied this mess added a few thousand more to the equation.
My employer-provided insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, will cover $38,448 of the hospital bill. My total amount due: $1,504.47.
That leaves $14,212.53 unaccounted for. Feinberg said it simply has disappeared. Poof!
"It's funny money," he explained. "It's not even there."
Now, I just want to point out that we spend nearly $3 trillion a year on healthcare in this country, which represents about 17% of the overall economy, which is more than any other country in the world. And we're talking about funny money?
