This was my first attempt at actual sking. I took a lesson on my first day. The instructor must have been great, as I was sking the blue intermediate on my 3rd day. We took 2 inexperienced snowboard/skiers and 2 experienced snowboarders. Everyone had a great time. Two of them enjoyed it so much they played hookey a day to stay longer. There is something here for everyone, it looked like a really great place for families with very young skiers. At times I watched in amazement as 4-6 year olds would come flying down the hill. My wife is an experienced skier and she enjoyed sking the trails. I did not feel it was overly crowded even though we were there on a holiday weekend. Tuesday after the holiday we were making 6-7 trips per hr on the mountain express. I would recomend this place to anyone, families with the young kids should really like it here. I'm "so old" now that my night life was was coming back to the condo, drinking some beer and watching tv. Great for me but I don't know about the young and single crowd. Saturday the hotel appeared to be quite lively. I had a burger at the pub with corned beef on the burger and 1000 island dressing. I would try one if you go.

In the new issue of your favorite magazine The Blue and White, on campus later this week, you'll read about the denial of tenure to a favorite Barnard professor, get some insight into CUSH's split from the IRC, and hear from the wisest cabbie in New York City. Whet your appetite with this piece by senior editor Torsten Odland, CC '15, on Operation Ivy League and how quickly institutional memory fades at Columbia.
In the early hours of December 7, 2010, the following students were awoken and arrested for drug dealing by NYPD officers: Harrison David, SEAS '12; Chris Coles, CC '12; Stephan/Jose Vincenzo/Perez, CC '12; Michael Wymbs, CC, '11; and Adam Klein, CC '12. Specifically, they'd sold: marijuana, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and Adderall. The bust was the culmination of a five month long investigation of the students, from whom undercover NYPD officers bought $11,000 worth of drugs over the course of 31 deals.
In the Office of Special Narcotics' original press release, they referred to the sting as "Operation Ivy League." Though Police Commissioner Ray Kelly denies ever using it, it is the name that stuck.
Students from 2010 remember "OIL" as a "big deal." Operation Ivy League united the Columbia community in confusion; the atmosphere on campus in the days after the arrests was described to me as a "collective daze"—OIL was "shocking" and "upsetting" and everyone was talking about it.
The responses to "Five Students Arrested in Drug Bust, 'Operation Ivy League,' " Bwog's first article covering the story, demonstrate how intensely Columbia students felt about the issue: "My thoughts go out to the countless individuals in the Greek community who fight everyday to show the truly positive side of their fraternity or sorority, only to have actions like this essentially reset the process. It's an absolute shame"; "My heart goes out to the desperately poor people from third-world countries who risk their lives smuggling drugs inside their bodies because they have no other option. My heart does NOT go out to Ivy Leaguers who got caught."
For the Columbia students who were there, OIL was an unforgettable event, about which many still feel strongly, both in support of or in disgust with the arrested. It's remained campus news for two years–—Bwog published updates about each of the accused's court cases, and still keeps campus posted when Jose Perez appears on network news to talk about the dangers of Adderall.
Two years from now, almost all of the undergrads who remember the atmosphere on campus in the days after the arrests will have graduated. Which begs the question: Does Operation Ivy League matter to Columbia students anymore? Let me put it this way: In Columbia history, can we put Op. Ivy League in the same category as "that time Snoop Dogg played Bacchanal?" Did it permanently impact the lives of Columbia students, or is it another "legendary moment" that ultimately amounts to a memory?

Last night, the Columbia Republicans and Democrats met in Hamilton for a debate on energy policy. Karen Leung has this piquant dispatch (all opinions are her own–read Spec for the bland version).
The best moments of political analysis at last night's energy policy debate came from Tedde Tsang, who spoke to no one. Tsang, three rows from the back, laughed quietly to himself whenever either side made a verbal screw-up. He sometimes made the effort to hoot.
At the front, Evan Thomas, CC '08, and Dan Amrhein, CC '09, spoke for the Dems. In their opening remarks, they attacked increasing oil dependency and lack of research funding for alternative energy under the Bush administration – their strongest points. They were supported by Thomas's very active eyebrows.
The Republicans' Tao Tan, CC '07, and Dana Newborn, CC '09, were forced to defend Bush's track record. Or rather, Tan mostly left Newborn to the (difficult) task. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 was her crutch, and both argued for private innovation as an alternative to state policy as a solution for oil dependency.
But the crowd, mostly Dems, wasn't there for policy analysis. They wanted rhetorical piss and vinegar. One softball to their team – "Is the Bush administration doing enough to counter global warming?" – got a good half-minute of laughter. While substantive arguments were sometimes alluded to – props to Newborn and Amrhein for being the most effective on this – the real focus of the evening was on Thomas's talking points and verbal barbs, and on Tan's strange, just strange, outbursts. (more…)

Dropping Acid
|Dissolve 50 enemies with acid.
To do this, you must have the Acid Bath weapon part. This part is found in Chapter 11 in the optional quest "Armory". You must get to the end and open the container with the rewards. Attach this to your weapon at a workbench. When you shoot enemies, they will start burning from acid. You can get this over time throughout your playthrough. If you want to get it all done at once, you can play the Co-Op mission in Chapter 14 while playing as Carver. At the final nightmare you will get to the end where you have to destroy the symbol in front of you. Instead, stay next to it and shoot the frail feeder shadows. Move forward to respawn some. They will sometimes stop running at you when in certain spots around the symbol making it pretty easy to maintain your kills. Just be warned, that in Co-Op play, your stats will often reset if you die or quit out.

Jamaica Kincaid's brother Devon Drew died of AIDS on January 19, 1996, at the age of thirty-three. Kincaid's incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother's life and death is also a story of her family on the island of Antigua, a constellation centered on the powerful, sometimes threatening figure of the writer's mother. My Brother is an unblinking record of a life that ended too early, and it speaks volumes about the difficult truths at the heart of all families.
My Brother is a 1997 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.
Editorial Reviews
Writing only a year after the death of her brother, Kincaid (The Autobiography of My Mother) uses the event to re-explore issues that permeate her novels and other writings: family, race, and migration. My Brother's flowing, stream-of-consciousness prose pulls readers along through the range of psychological changes Kincaid experiences as she grapples with her loss. From birth, Kincaid's brother Devon had been a source of trouble for the family: committing crimes, taking drugs, and being sexually promiscuous. The contrast between what her brother is at the time of his death (an unrepentant and fated man living in their native Antigua) and what Kincaid has become (a famous writer living in the U.S.) paints a poignant tableaux of sibling difference. What is most important here is the precariously complex and often emotionally violent relationships within families. At the forefront is the mother, a figure Kincaid finds herself unwillingly forced to wrestle with again as she attempts to care for the brother she left behind years ago. Distance is what pervades this world: distance from family, from one's origins, from understanding (it is not until after Devon dies that Jamaica learns of his homosexuality). The death of Devon and Kincaid's return to Antigua serve as metaphors for her belief that redemption and escape are finally impossible. But these ideas and the range of others Kincaid touches upon remain underdeveloped throughout the book. Kincaid states, 'These are my thoughts on his dying,' and reveals the book's flaw: My Brother is a tirade of depression and confusion that fails to make sense of the maelstrom.

Read an Excerpt
When I saw my brother again after a long while, he was lying in a bed in the Holberton Hospital, in the Gweneth O'Reilly ward, and hewas said to be dying of AIDS. He was not born in this hospital. Of my mother's four children, he was the one born at home. I remember him being born. I was thirteen years of age then. We had just finished eating our supper, a supper of boiled fish and bread and butter, and my mother sent me to fetch the midwife, a woman named Nurse Stevens, who lived on the corner of Nevis and Church Streets. She was a large woman; the two halves of her bottom rolled up and down with each step she took, and she walked very slowly. When I went to give her the message that my mother wanted her to come and assist with my brother's birth, she was just finishing her own supper and said that she would come when she was through. My brother was born in the middle of the night on the fifth of May in 1962. The color of his skin when he was born was a reddish-yellow. I do not know how much he weighed, for he was not weighed at the time he was born. That night, of course, the routine of our life was upset: the routine of my two other brothers and I going to sleep, our father taking a walk to a bridge near the recreation grounds--a walk recommended by his doctor as good for his bad digestive tract and for his bad heart--the heavy black of the streetlampless night falling, our father returning from his walk, a dog barking at the sound of his steps, the door opening and being locked behind him, the click of his false teeth as they were placed in a glass of water, his snoring, and then the arrival of early morning. We were sent to neighbors' houses. I do not remember exactly to whose house my other brothers were sent. I went to the house of a friend of my mother's, a woman whose six-year-old daughter took sick not so very long after this night of my brother's birth and died in my mother's arms on the way to the doctor, exhaling her last breath as they crossed the same bridge that my father walked to on his nightly outing. This was the first person to die in my mother's arms; not long after that, a woman who lived across the street from us, Miss Charlotte was her name, died in my mother's arms as my mother tried to give her some comfort from the pain of a heart attack she was having.
I heard my brother cry his first cry and then there was some discussion of what to do with his after-birth, but I don't know now what was decided to do with all of it; only that a small piece of it was dried and pinned to the inside of his clothes as a talisman to protect him from evil spirits. He was placed in a chemise my mother had made, but because she had two other small children, my other brothers, one of them almost four years old, the other almost two years old, she could not give his chemise the customary elaborate attention involving embroidery stitching and special washings of the cotton fabric; the chemises he wore were plain. He was wrapped in a blanket and placed close to her, and they both fell asleep. That very next day, while they were both asleep, he snuggled in the warmth of his mother's body, an army of red ants came in through the window and attacked him. My mother heard her child crying, and when she awoke, she found him covered with red ants. If he had been alone, it is believed they would have killed him. This was an incident no one ever told my brother, an incident that everyone else in my family has forgotten, except me. One day during his illness, when my mother and I were standing over him, looking at him--he was asleep and so didn't know we were doing so--I reminded my mother of the ants almost devouring him and she looked at me, her eyes narrowing in suspicion, and she said, "What a memory you have!"--perhaps the thing she most dislikes about me. But I was only wondering if it had any meaning that some small red things had almost killed him from the outside shortly after he was born and that now some small things were killing him from the inside; I don't believe it has any meaning, this is only something a mind like mine would think about.
That Thursday night when I heard about my brother through the telephone, from a friend of my mother's because at that moment my mother and I were in a period of not speaking to each other (and this not speaking to each other has a life of its own, it is like a strange organism, the rules by which it survives no one can yet decipher; my mother and I never know when we will stop speaking to each other and we never know when we will begin again), I was in my house in Vermont, absorbed with the well-being of my children, absorbed with the well-being of my husband, absorbed with the well-being of myself. When I spoke to this friend of my mother's, she said that there was something wrong with my brother and that I should call my mother to find out what it was. I said, What is wrong? She said, Call your mother. I asked her, using those exact words, three times, and three times she replied the same way. And then I said, He has AIDS, and she said, Yes.
If she had said he had been in a terrible car accident, or if she had said he was suddenly stricken with a fatal cancer, I would have been surprised, for he did not drive a car--I knew that. What causes a fatal cancer? I do not know that. But he lived a life that is said to be typical in contracting the virus that causes AIDS: he used drugs (I was only sure of marijuana and cocaine) and he had many sexual partners (I only knew of women). He was careless; I cannot imagine him taking the time to buy or use a condom. This is a quick judgment, because I don't know my brothers very well, but I am pretty sure that a condom would not be something he would have troubled himself to use. Once, a few years ago when I was visiting my family--that is, the family I grew up in--I sat on his bed in the house he lived in alone, a house which was two arm's lengths away from our mother's house, where she lived with another son, a grown man, I told him to use condoms when having sex with anyone; I told him to protect himself from the HIV virus and he laughed at me and said that he would never get such a stupid thing ("Me no get dat chupidness, man"). But I might have seemed like a ridiculous person to him. I had lived away from my home for so long that I no longer understood readily the kind of English he spoke and always had to have him repeat himself to me; and I no longer spoke the kind of English he spoke, and when I said anything to him, he would look at me and sometimes just laugh at me outright. You talk funny, he said. And then again, I was not fat, he had expected after not seeing me for twenty years that I would be fat. Most women where we are from become fat after a while; it is fashionable to be a fat woman.
When I saw my brother lying in the hospital bed, dying of this disease his eyes were closed he was asleep (or in a state of something like sleep, because sleep, a perfectly healthy and normal state to be in, could not be what he was experiencing as he lay there dying); his hands were resting on his chest, one on top of the other, just under his chin in that pious pose of the dead, but he was not dead then. His skin was a deep black color, I noticed that, and I thought perhaps I noticed that because I live in a place where no one is of his complexion, except for me, and I am not really of his complexion, I am only of his complexion in the way of race. But many days later my mother said to me, He has gotten so black, the disease has made him so black (she said this to me in this kind of English, she makes an effort to speak to me in de kind of English that I now immediately understand). His lips were scarlet and covered with small sores that had a golden crust. When he opened his eyes and saw me, he made the truups sound (this is done by placing the teeth together while pushing out both lips and sucking in air with force all at once). He said he did not think I would come to see him ("Me hear you a come but me no tink you a come fo' true").
At the time the phone call came telling me of my brother's illness, among the many comforts, luxuries, that I enjoyed was reading a book, The Education of a Gardener, written by a man named Russell Page. I was in the process of deciding that as a gardener who designed gardens for other people he had the personality of the servant, not the personality of the artist, that his prose was fussy, tidy, timid; though the book bored me I would continue to read it because it offered such an interesting contrast to some other gardeners whose writing I loved. (I only thought all that before the phone rang. I now love The Education of a Gardener and look forward to reading it again.) And so when the phone rang I put this book down and answered it and I was told about my brother.
The next time I opened this book I was sitting on the lawn in front of the Gweneth O'Reilly ward and my brother was sitting in a chair next to me. It was many days later. He could barely walk, he could barely sit up, he was like an old man. The walk from his bed to the lawn had exhausted him. We looked out on an ordinary Antiguan landscape. There was a deliberate planting of willow trees, planted, I suspect, a long time ago, when Antigua was still a colony and the colonial government would have been responsible for the running of the hospital. It was never a great hospital, but it is a terrible hospital now, and only people who cannot afford anything else make use of it. Near the willow trees was an old half-dead flamboyant tree; it needed pruning and food. There was an old lopsided building in the near distance; and the rest of the landscape was taken up with cassi (cassia) trees. And when I picked up that book again, The Education of a Gardener, I looked at my brother, for he was a gardener also, and I wondered, if his life had taken a certain turn, if he had caused his life to take a different turn, might he have written a book with such a title? Behind the small house in which he lived in our mother's yard, he had planted a banana plant, a lemon tree, various vegetables, various non-flowering shrubs. When I first saw his little garden in the back of his little house, I was amazed at it and I asked him if he had done it all himself and he said, Of course ("How you mean, man!"). I know now that it is from our mother that we, he and I, get this love of plants. Even at that moment when he and I were sitting on the lawn, our mother had growing on a trellis she had fashioned out of an old iron bedstead and old pieces of corrugated galvanize a passion-fruit vine, and its voluptuous growth was impressive, because it isn't easy to grow passion fruit in Antigua. It produced fruit in such abundance that she had to give some of it away, there was more than she could use. Her way with plants is something I am very familiar with; when I was a child, in the very place where my brother's house is now, she grew all sorts of vegetables and herbs. The red ants that attacked him when he was less than a day old had crawled up some okra trees that she had planted too near the house and the red ants went from the okra trees through a window onto the bed in which he and my mother lay. After she killed all the red ants that had attacked her child, she went outside and in a great fit of anger tore up the okra trees, roots and all, and threw them away.

My Brother by Jamaica Kincaid is an account about her youngest brother Devon's AIDS-related death. Remembering her role in the final years of his life, the story examines the nature of love, family ties, sacrifice, and death. An important message is about family. What does it mean to be a family? Even though she didn't ever personally know her brother who was born with aids until the end. She finds that her struggle to not care is a greater battle, almost an inner conflict with ones integrity. "I felt myself being swallowed up in a large vapor of sadness...I became afraid that he would die before I saw him again...It surprised me that I loved him; I could see that was what I was feeling, love for him, and it surprised me because I did not know him at all." This was my favorite quote in the book, when she going to go back to her bothers. She left when she was 16 and they where five and seven because of how bad her mother was to her. I think this really shows that when someone's family and they need you, you go. Because you love them no matter what. This was a huge inner conflict with Jamaica since the time she left as a young women, why should you care about someone you don't even know? The book really shows you what it means to have compassion and love for a stranger. That kinda made me think that if everyone in the world cared for another human just because we are all trying to get through life, I believe our world would be a way better because we are happy. This book also helped me to become aware of what it's like to have aids in a place where there isn't any medical help. Devon is just lying in a hospital bed waiting to die, because his family cant afforded the medicine. And the struggle of just aids, he finally is taken to get treatment in the US and it works, at first. Now they are able to become a family and talk about what went wrong in the family, and start to feel what its like to be one big family. However the battle with aids ends up taking the brothers life, and even after his death Jamaica says that if it wasn't for her brothers Devon's battle with aids her family would of never of healed.
The author visits her brother who is dying of AID's on the Island of Antigua. The story is quite emotional and the descriptions are graphic. Their were several interesting incidents in this biography such as the burning of the books and the attack of the red ants. You might also learn several things about AID's that you might not have known. Overall, this book is decent and I would recommend it.
The author Jamaica Kincaid speaks /tells the story. Sometimes other author's voices are not professional but in this case, her voice is clear and beautiful. This part of her autobiography deals with her relationship with her brother. He has contracted the HIV virus and is in the hospital. He looks terrible. Jamaica Kincaid blasts the hospitals not having AZT for their patients that are HIV. She says that the hospital was never any good, perhaps referring to the British colonial administration, but now she says it's terrible. She goes on to describe the dirt on the revolving fan in 'the' HIV room, sometimes falling off. She says the island government is corrupt. She is able to bring the AZT from the U.S. and he recovers only to relapse with his promiscuous sexual activity. I felt great frustration at this point in the book. A person coming so close to death, escaping only to do it all over again. He is 33 years old. Jamaica Kincaid also examines the relationship of her brothers to her mother and her relation to her mother. She says that her mother is great with children but not empathic with her adult offspring. She tells of her mother burning the collection of books that Jamaica Kincaid had. It was hard to believe that a mother could do that to her daughter. There are many other interesting explorations with a sense of balance.
Jamaica Kincaid's brother died from the aids virus. This book is about her dealing with this loss. Although she was older and never knew him that well she visited him ni the hospital often. Her brother Devon was involved in unprotected sex, as well as drugs. By the time he died Jamaica had a family of her own, but she got her brother medicine from a Doctor in the U.S.A. Their family lived on the island of Antigua where medical attention was hard to get. When he dies its about half way through the book. The rest of the book is how their family deals with the fact of the Aids virus and the loss of their family member. This book was decent , but it got pretty boring after he died, it was a little to emotional, and to me just unintresting.
Well, I think all could have been said in a lot less that almost 200 pages..maybe about in a third of the pages...the author is quite repetitious at times and some of the descriptions are quite graphic. I learned a few things about AIDS that I did not know... I think the author has some forgiveness to do of her own and perhaps in reading this book it will give the reader a better understanding of why it does no good to hold on to bitter and hatefull feelings..maybe this was her way of letting go......I hope so!

Newsflash! Newsflash! Newsflash!
Jan. 20, 2004: I made it to Antarctica! I've finally set foot on all the 7 continents!
Oct. 23, 2004: Atsuko & Dimitris to marry in Tokyo today. Both of them met through VT.
Congratulations to both of them!
Dec. 25, 2004: I did it - 7 continents in a single year! Landed in Australia, last continent of the year.
Dec. 26, 2004: Deadliest earthquake in the last 40 years! Epicenter off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. Tsunami kills more than 100,000 in 8 countries, from Indonesia to India to Somalia!
Jan. 1, 2005: My first New Year countdown in broad daylight over Antarctica!
Jan. 14, 2005: Richie announced that he & Doreen tied the knot a week ago in Fort Lauderdale after 3 years of courtship. Both met through another VTer in 2001 in Germany.
The News.
It was through the news & public media that we learned a lot about our world.
& hence, it was there I first learned about Nelson Mandela.
The name associated with South Africa. An icon of freedom, democracy & equality.
South Africa... a world so far away. Not so much by distance but by what we know about it.
Perhaps it's simply me. Or perhaps to most of us Asians, there's the East & the West.
But Africa, where does that lie?
What do we know other than the many who died of hunger there? & the many who are AIDS carrier & fighting for their survival?
The continent which once ruled the world in an ancient civilization like Egypt.
Yet, in the modern world... Africa is often forgotten by those from the East & from the West.
Sahara, Serengeti & the Sphinx... all world-renowed.
The people, the country, the culture? One hardly hears much about them.
It wasn't until I arrived that I found out about the many Asian descendents from Indonesia & Malaysia!
The cuisine very similar & yet different from those back home.
The similarities between us & them.
The world gets smaller everyday the more we see & travel.

Alex Mashinsiky Is Determined to Bombard You With Connectivity
Wi-Fi in 1,000 livery cars by fall.
Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Q-Wireless, the same company that's helping to bring you Wi-Fi and cell service in subway stations, is now tackling livery cabs with a plan to equip 1,000 cars by fall, eventually overrunning our streets with "tens of thousands" of fewer chances to ever be away from the Internet. What were you going to do, read a book? Look out the window? Too bad. But the plan doesn't only benefit riders. "Livery cars spend about half of their time idling. Cars sitting outside offices, restaurants and homes would temporarily offer free wireless Internet to those areas." Swell, calling up Cablevision to cancel our Internet subscription. Coming Soon to City, Wi-Fi on the Go [WSJ]

Anti-government demonstrators grab a man they suspect to be a supporter of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo's Tahrir Square, Egypt, Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011. The Egyptian military is taking up positions between anti-government demonstrators and supporters of President Hosni Mubarak. Hours after automatic gunfire hit the protest camp at Tahrir Square, soldiers carrying rifles could be seen lining up between the two sides late Thursday morning. Several hundred other soldiers were moving toward the front line. (AP Photo/Victoria Hazou)

Life And What Is This?
As I prepared to leave my apartment earlier this morning, my ears heard one of the worst sounds in the universe: a young man crying. Through the living room window I saw the pathetic subject (between 11 and 13) crying as he waited for a school bus. I had no idea what was making him cry, but no matter what the cause—a scolding from mommy, the death of his furry pet, humiliation from an older brother—nothing is bad enough, worthy enough for a young (or old) man (and I only speak for men) to cry about. I come from a culture that allows men to hold hands as they walk. That is totally acceptable. But to collapse into tears like a Greek actor? How can you do such a thing and hope to maintain a strong will of mind, a will against a world that is at every moment trying to overwhelm you? The best thing we can teach our boys is to cast on their moments of grief an icy eye or shatter them with laughter but, no matter what, never retreat into the imbecility of overemotional, overloud tears.

There are a lot of considerations when deciding on teeth bleaching
merchandise. Included in this are its effectiveness and well-being, ease,
and user-friendliness. Many of us choose the ones which they feeling many comfortable using.
Besides the aforementioned elements, test and then to hold these specific things in mind as soon as browsing and
before generally making the final decision: the
company manufacturing the product, the process of putting some products, the premium, as well

Described in this post are some different ways to whiten your teeth.
Teeth bleaching goods can be classified into
seven types: professional intensity holder lightening systems, boil-and-bite plate bleaching
systems, non-moldable tray lightening devices, whitening sprays, pieces, brush-on ties in, as lastly,
whitening toothpaste. Individually, were light/heat-activated methods that one may only get into a dentist's clinic.
To understand a little more about hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening visit our very own page:

The trusted and a lot of expensive route is always to opt for a knowledgeable
dental care lightening processes. As experts in their particular discipline with
accessibility the modern advanced devices and tools they are probably
getting you the best benefits. Dental practitioners likewise have
use of a whole lot more targeted prescription hydrogen peroxide solutions.
They're also more likely to have the ability to recognize
from your medical reports if a product do difficulties for your teeth.
There exists a logical approach though – trays instead of
strip. Aquafresh White Trays (approximately $37) allow you to only put these trays in the jaws for 45 mins just about every day during the period of 3 days to receive outcome.
Using this system you are going to receive the benefits of the ceaseless
email during a period of minutes without any irritation of strips.
The only problem is occasionally the gel can leak out of the dish.
Simple largest focus about three months before am my unsightly discolored teeth.
I couldn't sit it because everytime I encounter folks they might look at my laugh.
Nobody believed anything bad about it but deeper inside I'm
sure some thing should be finished. For
reasons unknown, the most important effect often very important in your country
wherein every reserve is evaluated by the cover.
Though, about 4 months previously, we watched a tv series on television about some professional teeth bleaching
remedies which may be incorporate like a write or gel and also the expenses am way
less expensive than visiting the local dentist.
The lady found in this teeth bleaching goods analysis revealed
how you can create your tooth white quick and simple by just applying the brightening peroxide content.
These ingredients are safeguarded instead of hazardous for ones your teeth in any way.
Attractive component to content. I simply stumbled upon your
blog and in accession capital to claim that I acquire in fact loved account your blog posts.
Any way I will be subscribing in your feeds and even I fulfillment you access persistently fast.
First off, you should know of the ones that to prevent yourself from.
These is the non-prescription gels and light/heat therapies
within the dental expert. Let us handle the gels initial. Over-the-counter gels
take several years to function. It might take over to a couple
weeks as a way for that you obtain the level of whitening you desire.
Even if you are perhaps not in a rush, precisely can you delay whenever possible have got
results in a far much shorter time period? Additionally, a lot of people whine that they're not very effective
and are discouraged employing the information.
Next, we are going to speak about the laser therapy
lamp techniques that exist at a dental professional's company.
Several customers claim serious serious pain and sensitiveness following
your therapy, actually to the stage they may have issues taking in food.
Although lazer lamp treatments are extremely effective, often it may be
as well effective. Some people end up getting eerie-looking, unnaturally white teeth.
They grumble they are often mocked about their teeth being way too blinding.
Last, this procedure is quite costly. Everything can run up to $600, not plenty of people can pay for to invest a small fortune on the looks.
To know a little more about zoom teeth whitening
go to our very own web site: teeth whitening winston salem nc
Maybe not normally real! Professional Teeth Whitening merchandise companies
largely use Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide
once the substances within their enamel whitener ties in. The
compound peroxide (HO) is actually a bleaching representative which converts into drinking water (HO) and produces an Oxygen compound (O) along the way of the chemical reaction. Both liquids and air are usually, secure
the different parts of our day to day lives.
The air dust enter the tough surface of your respective dental (the actual fact that they
come easy, these are typically microscopically difficult, rod like crystal components) and dislodge discoloration fibers.
I enjoy demonstrate this by visualizing the TV commercials which showcase exactly a
clothes cleansing product with oxygen lifts spots from your
very own apparel.
Acid items can pull teeth enamel because of your smile.
Check for teeth bleaching services and products using Hydrogen Peroxide which is pH equal,
implies they've got no, or reduced acidity level.
Getting acidity into point of view, you should be aware that day-to-day Orange Juice was found in laboratory reports to ease (and possibly erode) tooth enamel by many period greater than a
skilled peroxide based enamel lightening serum could, if put effectively.
First, you should be aware of which of them to prevent yourself from.
These is the non-prescription gels and light/heat sessions within the dental practitioner.
We should tackle the gels first of all. Non-prescription gels grab some time to be hired.
It could take over to fourteen days to enable you to
definitely reach the degree of lightening you desire.
Even though you are definitely not pressed for time,
precisely why do you really waiting whenever you need creates an extremely
quicker span of time? Furthermore, some people
complain they are just not very effective and happened to
be disappointed aided by the outcome.
Upcoming, we're going to discuss the lazer mild sessions that exist at a dentist's company.
Many clients state harsh aches and sensitiveness following the procedure, also to the stage
they own difficulties ingesting solid foods.
Although beam mild remedies are extremely effective, sometimes it can be too
efficient. Some patients get eerie-looking, unnaturally pearly white
teeth. They whine which they often get teased concerning their smiles
are also blinding. Lastly, this process is rather pricey.
The whole lot can run-up to $600, instead of

I'm desperate after having googled and digged through core files all day, and I am no wiser on this.
I'm porting an existing site to WP and have added a lot of rules to the rewrite_rules array of $wp_rewrite through a function called by the 'rewrite_rules_array' filter.
Sometimes I have to remove existing rules from the array before I add my own, in order to avoid conflicts. So far so good.
But when I try adding URI's starting with "members", such as "members/register", they just don't work and instead cause a redirect to the site root.
What confuses me is that if I print out the contents of the $wp_rewrite->rewrite_rules array in a template (at which time all rules should be added) there are no other rules starting with "members" than my own?!
1) Why doesn't my rules work, if there are no conflicting ones?
2) I know that Buddypress has some URI's starting with "members". They work fine. But where do buddypress tell wordpress rewriting system about these URL's???! - They don't show up in the rewrite array..

Police search for Shrewsbury womanMay 10,2013Police looking
for local woman
Police are asking for help in locating a Shrewsbury woman who may be in distress, according to the Rutland County Sheriffs Department.
Police said Jessica N. Lennon, 36, asked a convenience store clerk in Clarendon for help and acted strangely during her visit to the store at about noon Monday.
Seven hours later, Sheriffs Department Sgt. David Fox said, police reached Lennon by phone in New Jersey, where she said she was fine.
Despite that assurance, Fox said police have concerns about her welfare and are hoping to talk to her again.
Fox said police believe Lennon is back in the area after she was reportedly seen at Washbucklers in Rutland during the early-morning hours Tuesday.
Lennon described as 5 feet 6 inches tall with brown hair, hazel eyes and a tattoo of a lizard on her shoulder was last seen driving a silver 2007 Volvo XC90.

Rabbit Ragout with Soppressata and PappardelleFood & Wine
Tom Colicchio learned to cook using Jacques Pepin's 1976 La Technique and 1979 La Methode. The books' lessons came in handy during an apprenticeship at the Hotel de France in Gascony, in southwest France. One morning, Colicchio showed up for work after a long night of drinking. "The chef took one look at me, said 'I have a job for you' and pointed at a box with a big, dead hare in it. Luckily, Jacques had written about prepping rabbit, so I knew what to do." Colicchio (an F&W Best New Chef 1991) perfected the dish below when he was working at Manhattan's Gramercy Tavern, braising the tender rabbit with sweet tomatoes, spicy soppressata, and olives.

Jimmy Kimmel Ruined the Super Bowl for So Many People
His latest prank was so evil.
First Jimmy Kimmel's viewers ruined Halloween. Then they ruined Christmas. But on Sunday, Kimmel's sick, hilarious minions carried out their most evil prank yet: turning off the TV during a "crucial moment" in the Super Bowl.
The most common reaction from the victims of this prank? Screaming like they were just stabbed in the neck by Freddy Kruger. The second most common reaction: struggling, against a gut full of beer and pizza, to rise up off the couch and regain control of the remote, often while shouting expletives.

I've spent time digging into other lost-child topics, but haven't seen my issue. I added a child theme (to Twenty Eleven), appear to have created it properly, but it won't show the changes (changing menu bar from black to grey).
I read somewhere that I should remember to activate my child theme, but when I do that the Twenty Eleven theme doesn't display correctly. It loses *everything* (except the changed menu color!) and looks like some strange non-any-theme site.
Here's my child style sheet:
Theme Name: Twentyeleven Child
Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme
Author: Deb Scott
Template: twentyeleven
@import url('../twentyeleven/style.css');
#access {
It's located in my directory "... themes\twentyeleven-child\style.css
The child style sheet does show up in my theme editor menu; but the changed menu color doesn't show on the site.
I am new to this and appreciate any help!

Our program contributes to emerging research examining the systemic barriers to the full societal inclusion of persons with disabilities.
The Graduate Program in Critical Disability Studies offers courses, research and professional training leading to an MA and PhD.
The MA program takes an interdisciplinary approach informed by various academic fields including law, anthropology, health studies, history, geography, economics, education, labour studies, political science, social work, sociology, identity politics, gender studies, and refugee and immigration studies. Theories of human rights form the basis for understanding how existing legal, economic and social rationales for inclusion relate to systemic barriers and oppression.
The program is offered full or part-time to students from a variety of backgrounds, including persons with disabilities engaged in the disability rights movement, government bureaucrats, professionals in the field of disability and people working in non-governmental organizations such as community organizations and advocacy groups.
You'll have the opportunity to attend refereed conferences, publish in refereed journals and produce op-ed pieces right from your first year.
The PhD, a pioneering program in Canada, offers a comprehensive curriculum covering major scholarly perspectives. It is offered on a full-time basis only
The program structure and environment encourages advanced research, new scholarship and other opportunities to contribute to the field, enabling a multi-disciplinary group of students to explore disability from a critical perspective in relation to social policy, social justice, human rights issues, and social movements in Canada and internationally.

Human Library — Inclusion Matters
Human books are not what one usually finds on a shelf, but are people who have volunteered to share their contents (stories) with you, as reader. The first Human Library took place in Denmark in 2000. Since its inception it has gained an international presence providing opportunities for one-to-one conversations across difference to occur. As such it provides a significant opportunity for conversations that have the potential to develop new understandings of disability and diverse embodiments.

With two-thirds of the storylines from the pre-DC relaunch âWeird Worlds,â this issue at the very least celebrates the legacy of DC. âMy Greatest Adventure,â the title that originally launched the Doom Patrol, is resurrected here and brings Robotman -- one of the mainstays of the Doom Patrol in every incarnation -- with it. More on Robotman later. Letâs start off with the âWeird Worldsâ holdovers.
In my initial assessment of Garbage Man, back in my review of âWeird Worldsâ #1, I said that the âstory is just a little too overtly aimed at filling Swamp Thingâs void for me. Lopresti may have designs to move Garbage Man away from Swamp Thing in presence and purpose, but for now the two concepts may as well be conjoined.â Now, with a âSwamp Thingâ title on the stands alongside this series, I can distinctly say that Garbage Man is no Swamp Thing wannabe. Lopresti has put Garbage Man on a different path, which for now isnât very clear; this segment is filled with reflection on the events of the titular characterâs pre-Garbage Man existence. The story establishes some of what might shape up to be a supporting cast, but for now doesnât do much to evolve the character.
All the same, Loprestiâs art (with Matt Ryan providing some striking inks) is solid, filled with detail, and does a fabulous job of telling the tale without the need for captions or word balloons. Lopresti has fun crafting transitions to flashbacks, shifting some panel arrangements and, in general, working the whole page instead of simply pasting panels to fill space. Joined by colorist John Kalisz, the visuals for this story are muddy, murky, detailed, and, surprisingly, clean. The linework is where the cleanliness lives.
Tanga, a spacegirl with a dazzling array of powers, is set upon a path of discovery. This issue gives a clear indication that there is a backstory, but Kevin Maguire is concise enough in his storytelling that any compulsion to find a backstory is quickly forgotten due to the fact that Tanga seems to have enough on her hands in the present day. Tanga has a confrontational discussion with two entities: PâNigh, a disembodied head that floats upon a platform like a more restrained M.O.D.O.K. with the attitude to match that restraint, and PâNighâs master, Za. Za is a more troubling individual in that his appearance hides much more than Maguire shares with us in this issue. He clearly knows of Tangaâs abilities, but does not hesitate to challenge her on multiple levels.
Maguireâs art -- always jammed with masterful expressions and clean, crisp detail -- is no less so in this issue. The characters are few, the backgrounds are limited, so it is up to Maguire and his colorist, Rosemary Cheetham, to fill the pages with wonder for us to behold. They deliver, and when Tanga faces down a flying beastie towards the end of this segment, that scene is packed with action and excitement. Cheethamâs colors work so wonderfully to help define the world that Maguire is building that the work of these two seems inseparable. Thatâs exactly as it should be.
As a long-time Doom Patrol fan, I was more than a little disappointed when the collection of announced post-relaunch comics did not include the DP among their fifty-two titles. Iâm glad I only had to wait an extra month to get some of that old Doom Patrol connection back, even if it is only for ten pages and features just a pair of names from the legacy of the DP. The fact that Robotman, cited here as âcreated by Arnold Drakeâ and addressed more than once as âCliff,â is the lead story in a title dubbed âMy Greatest Adventureâ gives me hope for yet another new take on the old freaks Doom Patrol fans have grown to love no matter what incarnation we refer to as âours.â
This time out, the tale is not only the lead in this anthology book, but it is also the only story of the three that is written and drawn by two separate creators. Matt Kindt narrates this new Robotmanâs exposition through the words of Robotman, himself. He gives us a tight overview of Robotmanâs personality but only eludes to Robotmanâs past, choosing to grow the character over the course of the storyline.
Robotman runs a detective agency or adventure agency and takes cases to try and recapture the sense of being alive with adrenaline coursing through his veins and fueling his movements. My biggest gripe comes in the form of that agency, as Robotmanâs current client refers to the person sheâs trying to find as her brother, only later to refer to him as her husband. Those are some sloppy details, but it remains to be seen if those are Mrs. Turingâs sloppy details or Matt Kindtâs.
Kindt makes no false pretenses that Cliff is an adrenaline junky going through a form of withdrawal, unable to truly find that buzz he knew in his flesh-and-bone existence. Joining Cliff in his adventures is his assistant, Maddy Rouge, who serves as both his executive assistant, meeting with potential clientele, and his field assistant. Ten pages doesnât give us enough time to truly get to know Maddy, but thereâs plenty of time for that to come, seeing as Robotman is going to need her help in the next issue if Scott Kolinsâ cliffhanger final image is worth believing.
Kolinsâ work in this story is filled with detail, as his art always is, but it also has a weird range. As readers who have seen Kolinsâ art before know, his style is packed with frenetic, sketchy lines, frequently implying detail as much as delivering it. More often than not, that style clutters the story with expressive lines and bits of debris. In this story, Kolinsâ work is much more clean and concise through the six, almost seven pages. So much so that I had to check to see if an inker was working with Kolins. No inker, just a shift in style. Kolinsâ standard style bursts onto the last few pages with a vengeance, however, adding to the chaos and terror that erupts there. Mike Atiyehâs colors are well-matched for the story Kolins draws, and Atiyeh handles the range of environments presented to him quite nicely.
Through the entire issue, Jared K. Fletcher gets a workout on his captions and word balloons, using a multitude of styles and effects. Each story has a feel all its own, but the book as a whole holds together quite nicely, at least in part due to the consistency Fletcher provides.
This collection of ten-page teases strikes a broad range in story depth, character development, and genre. Taken as a whole, this is a fun book that delivers good to great art, fun to frivolous stories, and characters that offer reason for returning next month to read more.
