Nolwenn Leroy is a French singer who has just released her sixth album, simply named 'Nolwenn.' She was eleven when she began taking violin lessons, and continued her music education as a teenager in Ohio, where she spent a year as an exchange student.
Patients needing emergency room care with conditions that are not life threatening can now check in online at Southwest General Hospital. If the emergency is life-threatening, the patient will still need to rush to a hospital.
Southwest General Marketing Director Elizabeth Luna said a patients with lesser but still urgent needs would likely be placed in line at the hospital, but instead can wait at home instead of in a chair in the hospital waiting room.
Most of us have had or know someone who's had the experience of standing in a long line – sometimes up to two hours – to apply for a new driver's license or take a new photo.
Now, officials at the Texas Department of Public Safety are promising shorter lines for those and other services at their new "Mega Center" in Leon Valley, which opened on Friday, January 18.
The DPS Driver's License Mega Center is the state's answer to long lines in six locations, including Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, two in Houston, and San Antonio.
San Antonio International Airport is now an enrollment site for Global Entry, which allows passengers from international flights to be processed through Customs faster.
The new, one-stop service opened January 11.
San Antonio got the designation from U.S. Customs and Border Protection after its Global Entry kiosks installed last August were a hit.
Pothole filled roads, bumpy highways and shaky bridges in Texas are posing mounting challenges to Texas drivers, according to a new report from TRIP, a Washington, DC based national transportation research organization.
Of the 100 transportation challenges identified in the report, five out of the top 50 are located in the San Antonio area.
Each week on World Music (Saturday nights from 8-10 on KSTX 89.1 FM), I take a look at celebrations happening around the world. This week, there'll be a painful march in Singapore, a burning hill in Japan, and a cow race in Australia! Read more about these unique festivals below, and see video of past celebrations!
The Presidential Inauguration is Monday and Washington D.C. is ready for the massive celebration.
Also celebrating will be San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, and many other Latino celebrities, public officials and community leaders who worked on the Obama campaign. People who now hope to be rewarded with comprehensive immigration reform.
The Latino Inaugural Ball will be more like a star-studded extravaganza concert at the Kennedy Center and hosted by star Eva Longoria. Mark Anthony is performing, Jose Feliciano will jam and Rita Moreno will entertain.
The San Antonio Children's Shelter is memorializing former leader Glenda Woods by renaming its campus in her honor.
At a dedication ceremony next week, the new Glenda Woods Campus for Children and Families will honor the service and leadership of the board member who molded the shelter into a multi-service facility.
The agency today operates as a shelter for abused or homeless children, and also offers education for teen fathers, prenatal care to teen mothers, and therapeutic services to abused children.
Standardized testing in Texas: Are changes on the way? And what happens to the test papers when students have filled in the last bubble? How do you teach the bible in public schools without promoting a religious viewpoint? The Texas Legislature tries to figure out education funding (again), and now that the president has been re-elected for a second term, Latinos are asking about immigration reform.
A bill filed by State Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D) of Houston would allow liquor stores to join its supermarket brethren in allowing alcohol sales after 12 p.m. Liquor stores across Texas must lock their doors on Sundays, and grocery stores cannot sell alcohol before noon.

Snowshoe Mountain's Bike Park is set to host the second annual endurance mountain biking race, the Chomolungma Challenge, on Aug. 24. The Enduro downhill event, named after the traditional Tibetan moniker of the most intimidating peak on the planet, Mount Everest, will dare riders to face the ultimate physical challenge.
Racers will descend the equivalent vertical elevation of Mount Everest, down Snowshoe Mountain. Each ride down the world-class terrain of Snowshoe Bike Park's western territory is 1,500 vertical feet. Riders will complete their laps, and the first to finish the total of Mt. Everest's elevation - 29,035 feet, approximately 20 laps - will be deemed the winner of the 2013 Chomolungma Challenge. A $7,000 cash prize will be divided up among the winners.

Paddling: Gonzales not in reach for this scribe
When Boat No. 4106 — nicknamed 'FrednThemGuys' — touched the Seadrift seawall to win the 51st Texas Water Safari after paddling 39 hours and 45 minutes, Boat No. 56 — nicknamed 'Cirrhosis of the River' — had already been off the river for 16 hours.
As Ian Rolls crossed the finish line Monday morning as one of the first solo boats, Emma Stubbings probably wouldn't wake up for another few hours after a well-deserved rest. Rolls had been in a novice boat last year with Brad Ellis, a 30-year-old man from Dripping Springs, who died due to depleted electrolyte levels.
Once John Bugge completed the 260-mile paddle with Megan Yeager, in turn extending his record number of finishes in the Water Safari (34), I began debating on what I could have done differently through our time on the river.

Using Whole Body Vibration in Physical Therapy and Sport
Clinical practice and treatment exercisesBy
- Alfio Albasini
- Martin Krause
- Ingo Rembitzki
This innovative new manual demonstrates the application of vibration technology to the treatment of pathologies such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, stroke and different musculoskeletal disorders. It covers pathology on the upper and lower extremities as well as the whole spine. New treatment strategies are practically and logically presented with recommended exercises and accompanying instructions that can be applied using the vibration platforms. Rationale is given for selected vibration frequencies, amplitudes and modes for the duration and frequency of the exercise session. The manual is grounded in evidence underpinned by a thorough literature review (including a balanced view of both pros and cons) and clinical cases. The authors present clinical treatment parameters that are evidence-based and have supportive physiological rationale that is consistent with the nature of the pathology being treated. The text is further supported by online access to over 35 video clips demonstrating the possible treatment exercises.

A great early-season lure, plain and simple. Musky season opens early on many shallow northern musky lakes, and fishing these cold waters can be the key to early season action. A slow presentation is needed, and the Musky Killer's blade, like the blade on all Mepps® spinners, begins spinning at even the slowest retrieve.
Mepps Musky Killers feature a 1/2-oz. lead weight and two heavy-duty 5/0 treble hooks. With this added weight, they can run as deep as 8'. This makes the Musky Killer an excellent Spinner for mid-summer, too, to get at those haunts of big muskies - weedlines bordering deep water.

Raleigh >Bars & Pubs >
Lounges >Aries Lounge
400 W Morgan St, Raleigh, NC | Directions 2760335.779945 -78.645669
Tue-Sat 8pm-2am
Neighborhoods: Central
Doctor your Credit Card Receipts – The club is okay, but on the a crowded night that I was there, the service was terrible. There were several bar tenders, but only a few who could handle a credit card machine. Hence the 30 minute (I'm not exaggerating) wait to cash out. In addition to other problems, this gave me reason to leave a small tip. No worries for the staff, though; they adjusted my tip to reflect exactly 20% and sent it through. Still waiting to have this rectified. Just in case they are wondering....yes, that is credit card fraud.
Pleasantly surprised!!!.... – I must say that after I wrote my review on the incident I had with the "owner", I went to the Aries Lounge website where I was able to email the real owner, Margaret. She responded letting me know that she is the sole owner of Aries Lounge and let me know that she emailed the promoters in charge of the party Friday night about the incident that occurred. One of the gentlemen responded to me with an apology and will be forwarding pictures taken from the party so that I can identify the man that caused the problem. Margaret even offered to make it up to me and my friends! While the incident was unfortunate, I am very relieved to know that the actual owner of Aries Lounge cares about her patrons! Besides as I previously said, the bartenders were GREAT!!
Electro Nightmare – I've never known a bartender to be outright hostile, but whoever was working when I went was nothing short of spiteful. This was reflected in the drinks I was begrudgingly served, of which you're better off trying to get drunk in a coffee shop. All 5 spaces of the parking lot were MORE than adequate for the number of people there, and the pool table looked fairly new. All in all, I'd rather perform minor surgery on myself without anesthesia than return to Aries Lounge.
Aries ROCKS!! – I love this bar. I've been there many times, and I recommend it to all my friends. They have had some cool parties. Every night is different at Aries, and something new is always going on. The staff is helpful and friendly. It's definitely worth checking out. My favorite night is Wednesdays at the Boneyard (heavy metal, $1 PBR). And for all the primping girls out there, Aries has hair spray, mouthwash, and spray deodorant available in the ladies' room for your use. It's always good to be able to freshen up for your man (or that guy you've been eyeing across the bar).
Good drinks, good service, loud – I'm from Philadelphia and was visiting friends in Raleigh over the weekend. Went to Aries on a whim. We got there around 9:30 I guess, and it was medium bustling. CD Music was a good mix. Crowd very mixed. Some hipsters, some goths, a few lesbians, a couple of gay guys, one tranny. decent pool table. Around 10:30 , the DJ started pumping and it was pretty loud. The dancing is off to a side room, which is where it's the loudest. It would be better if there were a bit less sound in the bar/lounge area and keep it up for the dance floor.
The bartenders, manager were very friendly and hospitable.
This place is not for you if you are the conservative Raleigh type. But if you don't mind a little spice in your gumbo, it can be a fun night out.
Love this place! – I finally got out to Aries last week and love it! The music was great, the decor inside was awesome, like some LA/NYC type bar. Great drink selection and prices. I would definitely recommend this place.
Great Club – This place had everything my crowd was looking for, we had so much fun! Loads of room to chill, we danced on the dancefloor for a while. A few of the guys played pool a bit. Oh, and you have to see the bathrooms! Graffiti artwork covering the walls. Definitely the coolest bathrooms in town. I definitely recommend the place.
ugh – went there on a saturday night... got a little worried when there were about 5 people in there besides my friend and me... asked the bartender if there were more people coming, she said "yes" but they must have gotten lost. Also, they have a black curtain at the front door- can't tell if there's anyone in there or not until after you pay your cover charge. The DJ played ALL TECHNO ALL NIGHT to the point that my head was pounding. I felt like I was trapped in the movie "the matrix" I won't be going back anytime soon.
Downtown Raleigh lounge with a red-hot setting: Plush seating, soft lighting and daily specials in an airy warehouse building. – In Short
This sultry lounge encourages its mostly singles crowd to kick back and enjoy a drink from the extensive menu: Angel's Halo, Devil's Kiss, Sin, Tarheel Tonic, Blue Devil are among the choices. Futons, couches and bar stools are vantage points to people-watch in these sexy surroundings--be sure to take a peek at the aquarium and take note of the local artwork. A DJ provides jazz, house and techno music.
Great bar, great location – Aries is sweet. Great location and great booze. It wasn't too crowded so I didn't wait too long for a drink. The sound system is well put-together. You can still actually hear yourself talk in the bar area, but if you wanna get crazy in the main room, you can. Lighting is good and the decore is on point. 9/10

Not sure what this is or how old it is. My parents brought this back from China. It's about the size of a nickel. There is writing on the back, and rather than try to take a picture of it I just wrote it out as best I could. Hope someone can read chinese!

Dean's Comments
Posted Friday January 18, 2013, About: Lovie Smith preparing to sit out 2013 season
Based on his record...he did better than 80% of the coaches in the league. But than again, don't let facts get in the way of idiotic statements!!!!!
Posted Wednesday January 02, 2013, About: Panthers may fire Ron Rivera for Whisenhunt or Smith
Smith "a guy who only knows how to coach defense"....Hmmm, the guy took a team to the SB and has been winning year in year out w/o a decent w/r and inconsistent QB and a constantly injuried team...but still he was able to keep the Bears winning. I think Smith is a pretty good head FB coach...definitely a lot better coach then Whisenhunt...
Posted Monday December 10, 2012, About: Eagles receivers love Nick Foles
Yeah...I have seen each of Foles games and if those easy interceptions balls he has thrown the last two weeks where actually caught by the defenders (including the one the BUCs dropped in the last drive of the game), the sorry would be the exact opposite. Foles has some talent, but right now he is no more than Kolb/Matt Flynn/Matt Cassell, etc (actually, he has shown even less than those guys). If Reid is the HC next year, after Foles takes the pounding from Reid system, he will be another gun shy QB like Kolb.
Posted Thursday April 19, 2012, About: Krzyzewski blasts NCAA-NBA relationship: 'Kind of sad'
Amazing, how most of the posters here all want to somehow prevent the players from leaving college when they choose...because they are to young or they "owe" the school more time...that is such a load of BS. The colleges are making millions off these so call one and done...but, somehow the colleges are the victims here throwing the "BS FLAG". The only reason colleges including coaches want these guys to stay is to line their pockets with more money...so the players should be loyal to that...as far as fans as soon as these guys are of no use or decide to leave early you guys first statement is calling the players idiot or thugs etc. (why should they stay). These players have the right to go pro (why are you guys not complaining about golfers, tennis players etc.) The players union has a responsiblity to the workers not the fans, not the owners/colleges etc...but the players, at least someone is looking out for them...because the NCAA is not. So the next time a college player get in trouble like every other 18-21 yr old college student, how about showing them some loyalty and not passing judgement on them like they are the only ones making college mistakes, maybe then they would start to enjoy college like normal students who get to go out and bar hop w/o being called thugs or trouble makers the next morning. Other than your own selfish reason, please come up with one GOOD reason why a person should pass up going pro and staying in college? Please I got my Masters at 25 and not at 47 I am working on my second masters, so you can come back and get an education anytime.
Posted Thursday April 19, 2012, About: Report: Howard won't play for Van Gundy
And you are claiming DH is a child...not sure how you have a 7 year old when based on your post you come across as a 10 year old yourself.
Posted Thursday April 19, 2012, About: Report: Howard won't play for Van Gundy
Dude is hurt now..so not sure what you mean by "honor your contract"...he has played and when he comes back from injury he will play as he has always done. If the Magic management feels he is not honoring his contract I am sure they will seek to suspend him and if they decide to keep him, they should understand that if SVG is still the coach DH is leaving as soon as his contract ends. Nothing is wrong w/that. DH has given them an extra year to decide what they want to do...so why is he the bad guy. SVG decided to whine to the media, SVG as usually let his emotions dictate his actions and now has make it impossible for the two of them to work together...so the Magic management has to decide what they want to do...if the thing SVG is better for the organization than get rid of DH or vice versa...People are trying to make like DH is some type of evil enitity just because he does not like working for his current boss...If you actually had a real job in your life...you would understand. DH has the right to leave at the end of his contract and the Magic have the right to keep him until then or trade him.
Posted Tuesday March 13, 2012, About: Chipper: 'Tomorrow might be my last day'
Retire already...geez, every year he is hurt and thinking about retiring...now he is just collecting checks...RETIRE, PLEASE.
Posted Wednesday February 29, 2012, About: West adamantly refutes old rumor
Lostwill...you have some many opinions with zero knowledge...actually that makes you a basically an idiot (and you same to want to remind everyone daily of your gift).
Posted Wednesday February 29, 2012, About: Howard cool to joining Kobe
Yeah...whatever!!!! Everyone has an opinion...
Posted Wednesday February 29, 2012, About: Jimmer's struggles continue with Kings
Kings made the mistake of drafting him way to high "NR 10", whoever made that decision should be FIRED!!!! The guy at best my possible one day be a end of the bench 3 pt specialist, he is to slow and weak to be a point and too short/slow to be a SG. In the perfect system, he could be a bench player that can hit some 3's. Bottomline: BUST.
Posted Thursday February 16, 2012, About: Raiders GM sends stern message to players
I am not Raider fan...but I do hope they can turn it around...but, everytime a new coach or GM comes in and a couple players are released..the press (talking heads) says the same thing...Wow, look at so and so, he is changing the culture and taking charge and that is a good thing (it worked pretty good for the Redskins so far). All I am saying, this proves nothing..WINS are what count and to get those you need a good coaching staff and most important talented players. The Raiders have talent, now they need good coaching...not a GM that is cutting the talent.
Posted Friday February 10, 2012, About: Williams threatens to derail Clippers fairy tale
So he is confident in his ability and wants to start....I guess you couch potatoes would rather he say...hey, those guys are better than me....If you every played any sport seriously, not TG day FB with your family, you understand why player always has to have the mind set that is better than the next guy. Everyone always hammer a guy about team chemistry....When none of you have any clue what is going on in the locker room.
Posted Tuesday November 08, 2011, About: Jordan brand ready for backlash?
First of all Jordan is a owner and he is representing his company best interest...second, the players will stick w/Nike if the pay is right. Business is business!!!!!!
Posted Monday October 24, 2011, About: Fired agent wonders who got in McIlroy's ear
Hmmm, spoking like a person who has never left his neighborhood block!!!!!!....Anyway, Rory has a right to make decision regarding his career...and he can only dream about being compard to TW in anyway...get your own life and stop worrying about someone elses...all I care is that when they tee it up in CY12 that Rory is out there swinging the club at the best of his ability...the same goes for all the tour players...I can care less about their managers!!!!!
Posted Monday October 24, 2011, About: Dez Bryant: Cowboys 'unbeatable'
Actually, what do you expect a football player to say about his team....you can dislike the guy for whatever your reason is...but there is nothing wrong w/his statement and diffently no reason to call the guy a maroon...MAROON.
Or just maybe your stipud enough to believe JJ..they are only trying to protect Roma...his feeling are getting hurt.
Yeah...you know what routes these guys are suppose to be running....First it was TO, then Williams now Dez....I can't wait until they finally call out Roma's girlfriend (Witten)...it only a matter of time. But hey, keep blaming him idiots and keep watching Roma lose games.
In the year before that TO....
Posted Tuesday October 11, 2011, About: Gore believes Eagles quit
Wow, SF finally winning a few games and now they want to talk...Gore should first try to stay healthy for a season or two before he starts talking....By week 15 he will be regretting the trash talk...
Posted Tuesday October 11, 2011, About: Manning called Colts timeout from sidelines
The funny part...some of you idiots actually believe this article....just because Manning made a few adjustments to the protection while playing QB does not mean he has a clue about coaching a team...After all these years, the Colts still can not run the ball or stop the run (Hmmm, maybe Manning should bring his skills to the running game or defense!!!!) If you look back over the years...the Colts lost more big games than they won while Manning was starting at QB, sure they won against weak teams...but when they played the toughter teams they usually lost those games.

I loved the way it made my skin feel and look. Initially I found the rose scent to be overpowering at application but I liked it after 30 minutes or so.
this product made me feel sick because the smell was too strong for me but then again, I've never enjoyed roses or the smell of them in products. my skin was smooth but the finish was a bit sticky. I had to rinse off right away just because of the smell. good product but the smell was too strong for me.
Received this as a sample in a monthly BirchBOX. I enjoy this product line - Natural - Leaves your skin soft, smooth and lightly scented for the day. Thanks BirchBOX!
I did not like the smell of this product. I did not think it smelled like roses at all. It did smell "wild" like some sort of plant you would find out side but closer to grass or something other then roses. I did not like this smell so much that I only used it one time and threw out the rest of my sample.
The scent was ok, but I'm not too huge on florals. Though it was one of the better floral scents I've tried in while. Nice texture. Not too thick, sticky or greasy.
I actually really like the smell of this moisturizer. And after I used it, I sort of wished that I had dry skin so I could keep on using it. Unfortunately, I have combination/oily skin that is pretty acne prone and this moisturizer just did not work with my skin type. Bummer.
I received this as a sample in my birchbox so of course I tried it. Stinky! I couldn't get past the smell. I layered something on top of it (since I applied it at night time) because I didn't want to smell it all night.
Although I'm not a fan of rose scents, I do love this product for the fact of how my skin feels so smooth after getting out of the shower and applying to my face. Overall, good product and will continue to order.
I like this moisturizer. It smells awesome and does a good job moisturizing. My only complaint is that it doesn't do much for aging, SPF, etc. I like to have those added benefits in my moisturizer.
The smell of roses in this is really overpowering. I like roses scent, but this was too much. And then my husband complained, "You STINK." Plus, I can't even say it was overly moisturizing.

OHSU Connection
Students should understand that although co-admitted to the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Nursing, those who choose to transition from the UCC Nursing Program to OHSU will have to undergo a background history check for OHSU at the time of transition and ability to enroll in OHSU courses may be negatively impacted by any criminal history in their background.
Oregon Consortium for Nursing Education
UCC is a member of the Oregon Consortium for Nursing Education (OCNE) and offers a competency-based curriculum jointly developed by nursing faculties from the nine community college and Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) consortium partners. The core competencies address the need for nurses to be skilled in clinical judgment and critical thinking; evidence-based practice; relationship-centered care; interdisciplinary collaboration; assisting individuals and families in self-care practices for promotion of health and management of chronic and acute illness; end of- life care; and teaching, delegation, leadership and supervision of caregivers. The first five terms after admission to the UCC Nursing program are identical for the associate and bachelor's degree courses. Term six offers students the ability to complete the AAS degree at UCC and provides the educational eligibility for NCLEX-RN licensure testing. Students who complete the AAS degree at UCC and pass the NCLEX-RN exam also have the option to complete the upper division nursing courses for the bachelor's degree from OHSU (the OHSU bachelor's requirement of statistics may be completed at UCC but 15 credits of upper division non-nursing courses must be completed through other colleges or universities).
The Nursing program is approved by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) and the Accreditation Commission for Education on Nursing, Inc. (ACEN formerly NLNAC)

There is no computing project that is worth your life. Turn off the computer. Seek help. Get outside, enjoy the green grass, the birds in the trees. Talk to people you know. Talk to strangers! Drive to Wisconsin, and find out whatever it is they do there. Build a treehouse. Park on a parkway and drive on a driveway. Make a macaroni necklace. Visit a dairy. Climb a rock. Seek life.

PITTSBURGH—Police say two men who allegedly stole bronze doors from a mausoleum used another man's ID when they sold the metal for scrap.
Authorities say in a release Tuesday that the only people charged are 33-year-old Michael P. Lawrence and 30-year-old Travis Haun.
Bronze doors worth more than $8,000 were allegedly stolen on Jan. 2 from a century-old tomb in a Pittsburgh cemetery, along with a stained-glass window.
Police say the two men took the stolen doors to a home and chopped them into pieces. When they used another man's ID to sell the metal for scrap he was wrongly implicated, but those charges were later dropped.
Lawrence and Haun are being held in the county jail, unable to post bond.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 31.

WILMINGTON- The Bethany College women's basketball team led by two points with over 12 minutes to play in the second half, but Denison used a 14-0 lead to seize control and go on to take a 67-51 victory over the Bison in Saturday's consolation game of Wilmington College's Hampton Inn/ Damon's Tip-Off Tournament.
The Big Red (1-1) opened the game by scoring the first seven points and eventually built a 19-8 advantage with 12 minutes to play in the opening stanza. The Bison (0-2) roared back into the contest with a 15-2 burst that saw five different players score. Freshman Mikyla Tipton (Wellsville) scored twice during the spurt and sophomore Monica Westheide (Bishop Rosecrans) had two buckets as well, including a lay-in to cap the run and give BC a 23-21 lead with 4:50 left in the first half.
The Big Red cashed in a three to begin the second half, but the Green and White used a 7-1 surge a few minutes later to regain the lead. Junior Taylor Verrico, who set a career-high for scoring in the game, drained a three to lift BC into a 36-35 lead. After the teams exchanged baskets, Tipton converted a traditional three-point play and the Bison forged a 41-39 advantage with 12:49 to play.
Unfortunately for Bethany, the offense went cold after that. The Bison managed just two free throws over the next six minutes and during that time, Denison ripped off 14 straight points.
Headlining the Bison effort was Verrico. She set career-highs with 16 points and eight rebounds and was named All-Tournament Team following the game. Also reaching double digits in the game was Tipton with 11 and she added seven boards and three steals. Westerheide chipped in with nine points off the bench and also had a team-leading three assists.
So far this season, Tipton is averaging eight points and 3.5 rebounds a game. She has five steals and one block.
Bethany will be back in action at 6 p.m. Tuesday when it travels to Mount Union.

Source Naturals Pycnogenol Proanthocyanidin Complex 100 mg 60 TabletsSource Naturals Pycnogenol Proanthocyanidin Complex is a natural plant product made from the bark of the European coastal pine, Pinus maritima. Source Naturals Pycnogenol Proanthocyanidin Complex is rich in proanthocyanidins, a special class of water-soluble antioxidant flavonoids, which are excellent free radical scavengers. Proanthocyanidins are believed to play an important role in maintaining good health.
Source Naturals Pycnogenol The Ultimate Antioxidant Pycnogenol is a breakthrough in antioxidant protection that demonstrates how important natural nutrition can be for your health. Antioxidants are a class of biological molecules that function to scavenge and neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons that cause damage at the cellular level, and which unfortunately are unavoidable. Antioxidants the most famous of which thus far have been Vitamin C and Vitamin E work to protect living tissue by neutralizing free radicals, thereby interrupting many of their harmful activities. Pycnogenol, one of the most powerful antioxidants yet discovered, is the proprietary name of a natural plant product made from the bark of the European coastal pine, Pinus maritima. It is 20 times more potent an antioxidant than Vitamin C, and 50 times more so than Vitamin E.
Source Naturals Pycnogenol: Free Radicals are a real threatUniquely vulnerable targets of free radical attack that require a regular supply of antioxidants just to maintain a basic level of function include fatty acids – especially those in cell membranes – and sulfhydral proteins, which form one of the most common types of chemical bonds found in biological organisms. The importance of these substances for overall health cannot be overstated, as they are critical components not only of tissues throughout the body, but most importantly, of the principal regulatory organs – the brain and liver – and every blood vessel. Free radical attack on fatty acids – known as lipid peroxidation – and related destruction of sulfhydral proteins can lead to diminished function of cell membranes and whole organs. This, in turn, can contribute significantly to decreases in quality of life. Free radicals are believed to be active in the development of cumulative damage to the system, as well as in many of the undesirable effects of aging. Free radicals are constantly being produced due to the natural intake of oxygen and generation of energy by the body's cells. However, their production is heightened by pollutants such as tobacco smoke, alcohol, solvents, and oxidized cholesterol from foods. Therefore, health scientists suggest we may need to increase our intake of antioxidants either from foods or from supplements – such as Vitamin A and Beta Carotene, Vitamins C and E, Selenium, Cysteine, and now, Pycnogenol®.
Potent antioxidant protection from nature -Source Naturals PycnogenolOriginally discovered by renowned scientist Jacques Masquelier, Pycnogenol is a natural 85% to 95% concentrate of proanthocyanidins extracted from the bark of the Maritime Pine. Proanthocyanidins are a special class of highly bioavailable, water-soluble bioflavonoids with unparalleled free radical scavenging activity. They readily cross the Blood-Brain Barrier to provide antioxidant protection to the central nervous system, and stay in the bloodstream for approximately 72 hours. Thirty years of sound European research shows that proanthocyanidins from Pycnogenol are highly beneficial with no evidence of adverse effects, even after more than ten years of use. They also show no loss in potency after 12 years of storage.
Leaders of the Wellness RevolutionSource Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product. Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, Source Naturals evaluates the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provides targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Source Naturals' line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms. Source Naturals nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Impressive! This was purchased as a gift to my son for Christmas and I can't wait to see his face when he opens the box. I know he will love it! It truly is a beautiful watch and the leather band is equally handsome. As many others have said, it is a large faced watch and this should be taken into consideration when ordering. The quality is simply stunning and the skeleton design allows the internal movement to be seen clearly. Even the packaging is impressive. I can't say enough about it. Buy this watch! Thank you Stuhrling and thank you Overstock!
Was looking for a "BLING" timepiece that was still business like and conveyed professionalism and figured for the price I'd roll the dice on this one. I was impressed from the moment I opened the package. The presentation of this timepiece is normally found only in watches 5X this price. I own several high end watches (TAG, BREITLING, CHOPARD) and was impressed with this watch. It's very attractive and with the automatic movement a tremendous value. Buy it - YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
Simply put this watch just isent a "watch" it is a bold handsome timepiece from it's chunky and shiny case to it's oversized face and smooth swiss automatic movement it has everything and then some!!! This timepiece is for anyone who likes bold and classy style all in one fine package. I got this timepiece for my birthday and I could not br more happier with it much more impressive in person than in the pictures. definatley worth buying!!! it's awesome!!!!
I have only worn the watch a handful of times. If you don't where it it stops. Its movement is dependent on motion. The watch looks nice but is not German made like it is portrayed online. The packaging is awesome and the watch looks great. For the price you can't go wrong. But, if anyone knows anything about quality watches you will look like a idiot trying to pass this off as high end. To the everyday Joe it looks good. I didn't research this watch before I bought it. I didn't find out till I received that it was made in China. It is a good looking cheap watch. I don't know how it will hold up yet.
At first, I was very skeptical about an automatic movement watch. I read a lot of reviews about them and decided to give it a shot. I bought these watches as groomsmen gifts for my wedding. Each one was in perfect shape when I received them. Once I handed them out, all of my guys were very very impressed by the watch. The watch itself is just plain fun to look at. I love the fact that you can see the gears inside moving. The only complaint is that the minute and hour arms could be a different color. The only reason I say that is because sometimes its hard to see them because they blend in with the gears. That is me being very picky though. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone as I have gotten numerous compliments. The skeletal design is not all that common. This watch can be worn at the office to dress up, or as an everyday watch to dress down. Its just the right amount of flashy! This won't be the last Stuhrling watch I buy.
This watch is so gorgeous and has received so many complements. I'm ordering another one!
Excellent perceived value for this watch. Only negative is that there is no luminous strips for easy reading of time during the evening.
It's beautiful! So unique and looks nice. My boyfriend loves it!
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son and he absolutely loves it! I've seen comments about the face being to big, but for a mans wrist it is fine. My husband now wants one so I'll be looking for something similar for him. Very happy with this product!
I'm a woman, but I enjoy wearing men's watches (I'm 5 ft. 5, 130 pounds with an athletic build). While this is a beautiful watch, its face is pretty big. Compared to Omega Constellation or Tissot stonewatch, the difference in size is quite noticeable. Also, since the wrist band is made of leather, I've had to have two additional holes put in. One more thing -- you need to wind it up or keep wearing it all the time; otherwise, the watch stops. Other than that, though, it's a beautiful watch. If you're looking for a true luxury watch, this isn't the right watch for you. But if you want a beautiful and functional watch, look no further. I've received many compliments.

Washington, DC -
05/03/2011 - A policy to provide assistance to fisheries affected by Commonwealth marine reserves creates a 'win-win' opportunity to protect Australia's oceans, say leading conservation groups.The Fisheries Adjustment Policy, announced today by Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke, outlines options for commercial fishers displaced by the creation of reserves and paves the way for the release of a series of draft marine protection plans. The plans, starting with the South West Marine Region, will establish a network of marine reserves to safeguard Australia's ocean life, the most diverse on Earth."Currently less than 1 per cent of Australia's South-west, North-west, North, Coral Sea Conservation Zone and East marine regions are highly protected. A network of marine reserves, free from any extraction, is the most effective way to safeguard the special and important areas in our oceans and help maintain the health of our coastal economies and lifestyle," said Chris Smyth of the Australian Conservation Foundation.The Fisheries Adjustment Policy released today is largely the same as the statement released by the Howard government in January 2004 to address the short-term effects of the declaration of marine reserves on fishers and fishing-dependent communities."Although the Howard government policy was fair and equitable, its implementation through the Great Barrier Reef Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) has been widely criticised," said Imogen Zethoven of the Pew Environment Group.A government review[1] found the program suffered from cost blowouts and widespread dissatisfaction amongst stakeholders. It also found that greater ecological benefits and a more economically sustainable fishing sector in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park could have been achieved if licence buyouts had been a higher priority within the package."In this next phase of marine planning, it is vital the majority of funds are dedicated to the 'buyback' of fishing licences at an appropriate price," Ms Zethoven said. "This fair approach ensures that fishing boats are not simply squeezed into other areas outside the reserves, potentially leading to an unsustainable concentration of fishing efforts.""Although some fishers may need government assistance to transition from marine reserves, the long-term economic benefits of the reserves to regional communities are well-established," said Darren Kindleysides of the Australian Marine Conservation Society. A study by the Allen Consulting Group found the South-west's eco-tourism industry, including whale, dolphin and seal watching, would receive a 20 per cent boost to generate $55 million per year as a result of establishing large marine sanctuaries in the region.[1] John Gunn et al., June 2010, Review of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Structural Adjustment Package.

And a very good evening to you too.Take your bible and shove it.
So how many sympathy votes did the Obamessiah get?
Was that the Granny who claimed to have witnessed obama's birth in Kenya?
I am sure Osamassiah was all shook up that his "typical bible thumping gun toting white person" g'ma died, so I offer my belated condolences.

PHPMD - PHP Mess Detector
This is the project site of PHPMD. It is a spin-off project of PHP Depend and aims to be a PHP equivalent of the well known Java tool PMD. PHPMD can be seen as an user friendly and easy to configure frontend for the raw metrics measured by PHP Depend.
What PHPMD does is: It takes a given PHP source code base and look for several potential problems within that source. These problems can be things like:
Possible bugs
Suboptimal code
Overcomplicated expressions
Unused parameters, methods, properties
PHPMD is a young project and so it only provides a limited set of pre defined rules, compared with it's brother PMD, that detect code smells and possible errors within the analyzed source code. Checkout the rules section to learn more about all implemented rules.
Recent Releases

Staff also arrange "Special Program" which is an opportunity for the scouts to get to know the staff and engage in activities outside of the merit badge program.
