The days of plain old water being the beverage of choice at the gym are long gone. Now, some gyms even boast their own smoothie or juice bar. We're inundated with so many choices -- pre-workout drinks; post-workout 'recovery' drinks; drinks for energy; drinks for mid-workout fueling; drinks for immortal life. Okay, that last one I maybe made up, but there are definitely a lot of claims being made for beverages marketed at regular exercisers.
So what's your best bet for optimal performance and results? Read on for some old wisdom versus new choices when it comes to drinking up while working out:
I am an alcoholic. For years, alcohol was the first thing I thought about when I woke up in the morning. All day long, I obsessed over drinking: when could I start, did I have enough, how could I hide it. Every hour until that first drink was steeped in unease and self-hatred. Every hour past that first drink was focused on the drink after that. I lived completely in the past or the future, in regrets and anxiety. The present was increasingly intolerable and so I sought escape. It was a vicious cycle that went on and on and on.
You have probably had your fill of people using Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragic overdose as an excuse to talk about addiction. Forgive me for adding to the noise, but it's been hard for me to think of anything else lately. It's been hard to see the number of people condemning Hoffman for the "stupid, selfish" act that took his life and not feel painted with those same hurtful broad strokes.
Lots of celebrities go to rehab, but not all of them are willing to talk about the experience afterwards. So I was both shocked and amazed to see Elizabeth Vargas' revealing interview after her treatment recently ended.
Throughout history, a handful of presidents have admitted to smoking a little bit of recreational pot here and there. But few have openly discussed their views on the drug -- particularly if their ideas about it fall more in line with what a college student might think than that of your average conservative politician. Barack Obama kind of just went for it when he revealed in an interview with the New Yorker that he considers marijuana less dangerous than alcohol. Depending on how you feel about the drug, this is either one of the most dangerous statements a president has made in a long while, or the most obvious one ever.
In case you've ever thought alcohol isn't as dangerous as hard drugs like meth, heroin, or cocaine, think again. It's alcohol that has completely destroyed the health of this mother of four, who, at 35-years-old, looks much, much older, and lives in a nursing home with round the clock care due the ravages of alcoholism. Sadly, she is dying and her four children will never have a mother.
Many of us who wasted far too many hours of our youth on self-destructive behaviors can recall one particular instance -- an Aha! moment, if you will -- that forced us to sit up and take stock of our potentially downward spiralling lives. For Snooki, this wake-up call came in the form of one scary night after the birth of her son Lorenzo when she went out clubbing. The new mom had to take a break from partying to pump, as the "entire front of her dress was soaked" (we've all been there, right ladies?). That's when she got an alarming surprised: "I could smell the sake bombs in the bottle," she writes in her new book, "Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama, and All the Messy Milestones Along the Way."
Remember back when Demi Lovato went to rehab in 2010 for "emotional and physical issues"? We all sort of just assumed that it was related to her struggles with bulimia and depression ... but now, the former Disney star is clearing things up and coming clean about the shocking truth: She had a serious cocaine addiction.
"With my drug use I could hide it to where I would sneak drugs. I couldn't go 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine, and I would bring it on airplanes," the 21-year-old confessed to Access Hollywood. "I would smuggle it basically and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep, and I would do it right there. I'd sneak to the bathroom and I'd do it." This in spite of Demi even having her very own "sober companion," who was supposed to be watching her "24/7." So scary. She also elaborated on her addiction to alcohol ...
Thanksgiving is a time when family comes together and celebrates, but for 13-year-old Lauren Nevil, it's a time of excruciating sadness as she is reminded of the Thanksgiving she lost her mother to a drunk driver. Last November Lauren, her mom Katy, and the rest of the family were driving from their home in Tennessee to spend the holiday with family in Texas. John David Coe was driving drunk. He would, tragically, meet up with the Nevil family on a dark stretch of highway and destroy their lives forever. Last week Lauren bravely confronted him in the courtroom, where Coe was sentenced to 40 years in jail.
If 40 is the new 30, and 30 is the new 20, does that make 20-year-olds 10? Maybe, if you buy into the updated guidelines being given to child psychologists. The BBC reports that adolescence no longer ends when people turn 18, but rather when they turn 25.
Yup, apparently there are now three stages of adolescence: Early adolescence ranges from 12 to 14 years, middle adolescence from 15 to 17 years, and 18 and over is classed as late adolescence. I'm sure we've all known someone in his or her 20s that refused to act like a responsible adult, but come on. Let's not excuse immaturity on "developing brain patterns." One would hope that our brains continue to grow and mature throughout the years, and just because a 20-year-old might not be as wise as a 40-year-old doesn't make them a child.
I wish that all of these studies linking cancer and alcohol consumption had come out when I was in college. Not that I necessarily would have put down my wine cooler and read them. But, one can always imagine, right? Still, it seems like every time you turn around now, someone is telling you how bad drinking is for you. Can't we go back to that time when wine was supposed to make you live forever? What happened to that? That was fun, right? But anyway, we're in the downer years for booze -- when pretty much any drop of the stuff is going to send you into a premature grave. A new major study links alcohol consumption to breast cancer.

Pear Drops and Fourteen Pounds (4'14")
I'm pretty sure my first paid gig was in a sweetshop in Broadwater Crescent, Stevenage, when I was about five. I've since been told that my mother was called and informed that her young son was playing in the shop for the customers, and I do indeed have a vague memory of singing Any Old Iron? and someone giving me a couple of ounces of pear drops. Some nine years later I played at a folk club at Kitson College in Leeds and was paid £14 for the performance. It was an outrageous sum, as in those days my weekly paper round paid less than £2. These two events had a massive effect on me as I realised that when I played my guitar, people would often give me things. Seemed like a reasonable plan, and nothing much has changed since then.
Do they still make pear drops?
The idea behind this tune was to come up with a recurring riff that would work equally well in three different keys, and therefore in three different modes. In the end I decided that B minor, G major and E minor would work quite nicely, so proceeded to turn the entire thing into a 7/4 piece. The working title of this tune was actually the Sevenoaks Fourstep...
Nollaig: violins
Buddy, Can You Spare a Tune? (3'36")
Two tunes from the 1973 recording Kitty Puss by Kentucky fiddler Buddy Thomas. The first, Possum in a Simmon Tree, sounds very Scottish to me, and the second piece, Turkey in a Pea Patch, is just a lot of fun.
Extra information
In 2008 I was part of the Heartstring Sessions project with Arty, Nollaig & Máire. One of the pieces we played was an old-time tune called The Yellow Barber that Arty had learned from someone in the US. After getting some useful advice from from my favourite old-time banjo player Cathy Fink, and a bit of help from Amazon, I bought a CD by fiddler Buddy Thomas that contained the tune. The rest of the album was full of great melodies, including these two.
Roy: drums
Just a Drop to Steady Myself (3'47")
One evening when I was 17 or so I was doing a floor spot at my then local folk club in St Albans. The guest that night was Diz Disley, someone I knew only by reputation. He was, of course, an amazingly popular folk club entertainer with an enormous repertoire of daft songs (Rex the Piddling Pup and The Prune Song ('a very moving song') as well as quite ridiculous jokes that were so well-known that the audience would often join in with the punchlines. Above all, though, he was a fabulous guitarist. His own personal hero was Django Reinhardt, and there were very few players at that time who could play Django style as convincingly as Diz. Anyway, in those days if anyone in the room looked like they knew one end of a guitar from another he'd call them up to the stage to play backup while he did some seriously fancy stuff himself. That night I got the call. I was terrified. Scared to death. I needn't have worried though as he was as nice as pie and asked only that I play the backup chords for Bill Bailey. I must have done it reasonably well as shortly afterwards he invited me to play gigs with him all over the country. He was a huge influence on me, and was solely responsible for my becoming interested in swing jazz on the guitar. On this track I'm delighted to be joined by Simon & Arty.
Incidentally, for those of you unlucky enough never to have seen Diz, this tune's title really should continue (after a sip from a shot glass):
'Sometimes I get so steady...I can't move!'
Extra information
Diz really was a character - one day someone will write a book about him, but nobody will believe it!
I remember one time he bought a bottle of Grants whisky from a duty-free shop, and proceeded to despatch it in pretty short order. He'd noticed that the label on the bottle read "Grants - Stand Fast" and promptly wrote to the director of the company suggesting they should perhaps rename it "Grants - Fall Down" - an eminently sensible suggestion that they've never adopted for some reason.
This is a pretty conventional AABA tune in a swing style that starts in C minor and moves to E flat minor after a couple of verses. Simon plays a lovely mandolin solo before Arty pitches in on the Stratocaster. I start the last verse on the Ibanez then switch back to the Collings for the finale.
Simon: mandolin
Torrevieja (2'44")
During the late seventies/ early eighties I worked extensively with Fred Wedlock (of Oldest Swinger In Town fame). We did gigs in army bases, RAF camps, Students Union Fresher's Weeks and Young Farmer's events as well as numerous folk clubs and festivals. Following the success of the single in early 1981 we were offered some quite interesting trips, including a couple of visits to Oman and, in September 1981, ten days in Cyprus as part of a Combined Service Entertainments show. It was a great trip and found us alongside, among several others, the Tannahill Weavers from Scotland and the English speaking world's finest raconteur, Derek Brimstone. The weather was gorgeous, the hospitality was terrific and the company was simply hilarious. There was a downside though. We had to play three shows. In ten days. Definitely one of those 'life is hell' gigs. This tune's a nod in the general direction of the many evenings spent sitting by the pool with a Pimms swapping unlikely stories with all those great people, as we all sank slowly below the horizon.
Extra information
Ever since I first went on a package tour to the Costa Brava with my mother in 1965 I've had a soft spot for the type of tunes that the local bands would play in the hotel bar every night. I'd usually learn a few pieces and bring them back home with me after the holiday, then enjoy playing them again during the long winter evenings that would inevitably follow.
I came up with this piece during one particularly cold night last February.
Roy: drums & percussion
Temptation Rag (3'05")
In 1981 I made a solo album, the imaginatively titled Chris Newman. One of the pieces I played on the record was Temptation Rag, composed by Henry Lodge and published in 1909. That particular recording is but a distant memory, but as I've always liked the tune I decided to record it again, albeit with a new ending.
Extra information
I was introduced to this tune over 30 years ago by Henry Davies, a bandmate from the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra days. (You'll find a photo in the CD booklet of Henry and me singing backing vocals - yes, really - during a 1974 HTV programme called The Great Western Musical Thunderbox.) And I thought my titles were bad...
Chris: acoustic guitars, mandolins, bass guitar
The Humours of Kiltyclogher/ Gusty's Frolics (2'55")
Arty McGlynn is known, quite rightly, to be the very best when it comes to playing traditional Irish music on the guitar. There are lots of really good players these days who've overcome the prejudice against the guitar that was fairly widespread in traditional circles not so many years ago, but Arty can truly be said to be the one who blazed a trail for the rest of us. It's great to feature him here on the first tune: the second is a very pretty slipjig that I first heard on a Seán Keane LP a very long time ago.
Extra information
I was very pleased to have Arty play electric guitar on a few of my own compositions, but it did seem daft not to take advantage of the situation and do some traditional tunes as well. We sat opposite one another in the control room of the studio, separated only by a screen, and played these two Irish tunes live. Arty then overdubbed a second rhythm guitar on the second piece.
Arty: acoustic guitars
The High Life (3'12)
In the late sixties my sister Linda went to live in East Africa for a few years. Based at Dar es Salaam University, she would often send me records of local bands and musicians, most of which were on the ASL record label. I absolutely loved those records (still do) and can remember sitting in my bedroom for hours on end learning the electric guitar riffs that are such a feature of that music. The bass players were crazy too, playing all sorts of impossible cross rhythms against the percussionists. It all seemed terribly exotic to a 13 year old schoolboy from Hertfordshire.
Many years later I found myself in the company of a bunch of African musicians in a restaurant near Bordeaux and at some point during the evening the instruments came out. I remember playing the introductory riff to a song called Camarade ya Kinshasa to the utter astonishment of a chap from Zaire who knew the song well and proceeded to sing it. It was a great moment.
This piece is very loosely based on the style of one or two of those old ASL records. Simon guests on mandolin.
Extra information
Some years ago Máire and I played for the second time at the Shetland Folk Festival. One of the groups on that year was Sierra Leone's Abdul TJ's Rokoto, a fantastic West African dance band. I'd been listening to East African stuff for years and was interested to hear which bits they had in common and also where they differed. Abdul was a very nice chap, and we spent some time messing around with various riffs and phrases, including the one that forms the background to this tune.
Simon does a great job on mandolin (as always) and came up with the idea of playing the octave drone at the start.
Simon: mandolin
Moanin' (3'56)
My older brother Mark was certainly my earliest influence on the guitar. When I was still far too young to go to a folk club (most of which were in pubs of course) he'd regularly visit the many clubs that existed in those days in the Leeds & Bradford area, and, in time honoured fashion, would pinch a tune or song from whichever visiting artist was in the area that week. He'd then bring the piece home and play it over and over again, and I'd sit in the next room and try to pinch all the licks he'd recently acquired himself. The folk process at work! Anyway, Mark's been playing this Bobby Timmons tune for as long as I can remember, so I thought it'd be fun to have him play it again in the original key of F minor (he loves F minor) and go on from there. I'm delighted also to be joined on this track by my old friend Paul Buckley, with whom I did a lot of pub gigs in the mid-eighties. We made a long- forgotten cassette-only album called Red Hot Blues & Swing at the time, and I keep hoping I'll come across a copy of it one day. Paul's a great singer, and a very imaginative guitarist. He plays the first solo after my brother plays the tune. Mark then returns with a very Wes Montgomeryish (is that a word?) solo before stating the tune again for the last time. I'm quite happy to sit in the background with my Stratocaster and Ibanez archtop.
Extra information
This Bobby Timmons tune from 1959 has been recorded many times. I thought it'd be nice to go back to the original key of F minor and play it at about the same tempo as his original recording from more than 50 years ago.
My brother Mark takes the lead on most of this track except verse 2 where the solo's played by Paul.
When I listen to this arrangement I can almost see blue cigarette smoke coming out of the speakers...
Mark: acoustic guitar
Québec Reels (3'53")
During the early eighties I often accompanied Cornish singer Brenda Wootton on tours of France, Australia and, in 1984, Canada. It was my first trip to North America and took us to the Québec Festival, an enormous event that featured musicians from all over the world. I remember hearing a band from Burundi one minute, the David Grisman Quintet the next and of course lots of French-Canadian traditional music. Years later I heard the absolutely wonderful Québecois band La Bottine Souriante, still the best live band I've ever seen. I got the second of these tunes from them while the first is a pretty piece called La Grande Chaîne.
Extra information
Roy Whyke, the drummer on this recording, is a stalwart of the Leeds music scene and has played with all sorts of people. For much of these sessions I asked him to play a piece in a particular way, but on other tracks I just asked him to do whatever he liked, and get stuck in!
He did exactly that on the second of these tunes, and I love it.
Roy: drums
Air on a Shoestring (2'37")
Another piece originally from my 1981 solo album. When I originally wrote the tune I wanted to call it Air on a Shoestring but was told by the powers that were that the title was too flippant and not at all suitable. Therefore it was originally called The Castle Green, the name of a pub in Bristol of which I have no recollection whatsoever. Anyway, here's a completely different version of the same piece, recorded some 29 years later. With the proper title.
Extra information
Nothing much to add to the sleevenotes about this one. I've always been a sucker for simple and melodic tunes, so I suppose this is a fairly typical example of my early tune writing from almost thirty years ago.
Chris: acoustic guitars, keyboards, fretless bass
E major 6/8 (2'56")
I have always had a serious problem with tune titles. Coming up with a new melody has never been a big problem for me, but thinking of an appropriate title has always been a real headache. I find it difficult to think of something that sounds vaguely relevant but doesn't sound pretentious, so on this occasion I decided to leave this tune with its original working title.
Extra information
Yes, I suppose I should have made more of an effort and given this tune a proper title, but it's such a headache. I wondered about Opus 21, All My Tomorrows, Psychic Intervals, Cosmic Pomegranates and lots of other twaddle...and decided to leave it well alone.
Roy: drums
Around the Houses (3'41")
In late 2004 I bought my first Collings instrument, a fabulous OM-1E guitar from Dusty Strings in Seattle, WA. It was brand new and had arrived from the factory only a couple of days earlier. I thought it utterly wonderful and instantly produced the plastic. When, shortly afterwards, I was asked if I'd like to contribute a track to an album featuring Collings artists I was of course delighted, and wrote and recorded a new piece for the project. This version of that same tune is a quite different arrangement to the original recording, and I've changed the setting from D minor to A minor. Arty guests on electric guitar.
Incidentally, since then things have gone from bad to worse on the Collings front as I've subsequently bought a MF-5 mandolin and a OM-1AC guitar. They are both absolutely stunning and are the instruments mainly used on this recording. Were the house to catch fire they'd be the two things I'd grab on the way out.
Extra information
In my opinion (which is worth exactly what you paid for it!) Collings guitars and mandolins are the best factory made instruments available today. At a trip to the Martin factory in Nazareth, PA a few years ago I was really impressed by many of their instruments, but they do tend to be a bit variable.
I have five Martins right now, and they're all very nice guitars, but I have never played a bad Collings. I think the first one I played was a OOO-2H (small body 12-fret) at a festival many years ago. A while later I bought a brand new OM-1E, at which point I became hooked.
There's much more info on the instrument page.
Roy: drums
Three Degrees of Separation (2'46")
For three years in the mid-nineties I toured with Edinburgh-based band Boys of the Lough. We went to the States twice a year (always in December and March - cold!) and played lots of European festivals, many of which were in Scandinavia. My first exposure to Swedish fiddle music was in 1995 at the Falun Festival and I was immediately hooked. The polska's an integral part of the Swedish tradition yet bears a remarkable similarity to the 3/2 hornpipe that's so popular in Northumberland. As I've never managed to get a clean note out of a fiddle I decided to write a tune in the style of both places, but played on a couple of mandolins.
The title? There are three degrees latitude between Northumberland and Sweden.
Told you I was terrible with titles.
Extra information
I first went to Sweden in 1995 with Boys of the Lough, to appear at the Falun Folk Festival and teach at the summer school held there. I was part of the "Introduction to Irish Music" class that was run by Cathal McConnel & Dave Richardson, and at one point spotted a pair of forty-something ladies, both playing fiddles, who were obviously together. They both had terrific tone, and were playing the tunes with real confidence. I got into conversation with them and soon ascertained that as they knew nothing at all about Irish music they'd placed themselves in the beginner's class. I complimented them both on their beautiful tone, and asked what they did for a living?
"We're both in the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra," they replied.
I walked right into that one!
Roy: percussion
The Silver Spire/The Cattle in the Cane (3'03")
The first tune is a well-known Irish reel that works well on guitar while the second is an American piece that's allowed me to have a bit of fun. I'm not usually a big fan of altered guitar tunings (I have enough trouble remembering where everything is in standard!) but on this occasion I put the main guitar of the second tune into DADGAD. I also changed a few of the bar lengths as well...and made up a new ending.
Extra information
This is a first for me as I've never recorded anything in DADGAD until now. The first tune's in standard but the different tuning seemed to suit the arrangement of the second tune quite well. It's normally played at a furious pace in bluegrass circles but I quite liked the idea of slowing it down a lot.
Roy: drums
Cardrona Spring (3'34")
Máire and I first met Davy Stuart of Christchurch, New Zealand when we were on one of the Guinness Celebration of Irish Music tours that ran through Australasia in the nineties. He's a very talented instrument maker and musician, and built my octave mandolin as well as the Black Beauty guitar that I've been using on stage since late 2006. Many years ago he wrote this very pretty tune that I've always liked...so here it is. Due to the wonders of the web I'm delighted that Davy's been able to play the fiddle part on this tune, even though he recorded it 11682 miles away from here. (Thanks Google Earth!)
Extra information
Last Christmas (2009) Davy and Libby were in the UK and spent a couple of days with us in Ilkley. I thought it an ideal opportunity to have Davy play on this track, which of course he wrote. The only problem was he didn't have a fiddle with him and it's not an instrument I own. Some while later we decided to try the great recording studio in the sky, so I emailed Davy the arrangement in mp3 format which he uploaded onto his studio computer. Having recorded the fiddle solo he sent it back the same way.
Isn't technology wonderful?
Davy: fiddle
Máire found the first tune, the delightfully named My Fiddle in the Joyce collection. The second piece comes from an album made in 1983 by Donegal fiddler & singer Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and Belfast flautist Frankie Kennedy. They went on to form Altan, a band with whom we've often toured in Germany, Australia and the USA. Frankie was a truly wonderful bloke who died far too early back in 1994.
The band has enjoyed much-deserved success since those early days and always comes up with interesting tunes, great albums and excellent stage shows. It's great to see the good guys win sometimes!

Roy: drums & percussion
Not Likely! (3'46")
I've known Reading mandolinist Simon Mayor for over 30 years, and we've often played on each other's recordings. When he and his partner Hilary had gigs in the north they often used to stay with me and Máire in Ilkley, but eventually they tired of my overcooked bacon sandwiches and bought a flat of their own a mere 200 metres from Old Bridge Towers. Since then we've had the daft idea of doing a duo album and calling it The Ilkley Lads. It might even happen one day, but in the meantime here's a taster. It's nothing more than a fairly rapid 12-bar blues in G major. Playing with Simon always makes me smile...
Extra information
I like this track a lot. It's only a 12 bar, but I thought it'd be fun to have a pretty fast piece that would give me and Simon something to really think about. After the rhythm track was recorded we both just blasted down the solo parts - great fun!
As long as we never have to play it live. On TV...
Roy: drums
Closing Time (2'39")
On this final track I'm very pleased to be joined once again by Máire's sister Nollaig Casey, a great violinist who's graced countless recordings over the years. I thought it'd be nice to end the album with a quiet, reflective piece to contrast with some of the other, more boisterous, tunes. This was the very last track to be recorded, and as I've always thought B flat to be a lovely key, I came up with this.

I am searching for Benjamin Furman and his wife, Eliza Dartt, who appear with their family of 6 adult children on the 1880 Census living in Duke Center, McKean County, PA. Benjamin was age 70 at the time and his wife 60. The whole family seems to disappear from the census records after 1880, with the exception of a son, DeWitt, who I have located in the 1900 census in West Virginia. Benjamin Furman was born about 1810 in Tioga County, PA, and appears on the 1850, 1860, and 1870 census there as a farmer. I have done an on-line search of the cemetaries in McKean County and Tioga County, but no luck. Where did this family go? I am at a dead-end.

The team of medical providers at Rejuvenating Skin Care tends to weary bodies through a hybrid of medical and spa services, instilling beautification amid burnt-orange and tan walls set aglow by warm candlelight. For laser hair removal, trained nurse practitioners brandish their high-tech follicle zappers, which inhibit hair growth while soothing skin with cooling spray between each pulse. Juvéderm dermal fillers and microdermabrasion treatments vanquish signs of aging, and Latisse works with magic beans to help sprout longer, fuller lashes.
Esencia Skin Body Massage treats clients to a far-reaching array of skincare, massage, and salon services. Aestheticians revitalize complexions with body wraps and augment facials with aromatherapy and soothing massages. Haircuts, color, and styling create new looks, and waxing and spray tanning prepare guests for the beach.
Aestheticians combine skincare savvy with a tender touch to perform an abundance of pampering treatments in Renew Massage & Skin Care's charming spa atmosphere. Staffers massage the scalp, neck, and shoulders and offer warm aromatherapy towels during most facials. Four types of clinical peels can help to remove dead skin and the ghost of sunburns past. The team further accentuates countenances' beauty with antioxidant-rich makeup by glo minerals. To reduce stress or chronic pain, massage pros employ modalities such as a lomi-lomi treatment that fizzles tension with long, forearm-based strokes. The spa includes shower and locker-room facilities for guests to change into more comfortable outfits and a stately fireplace in its waiting area for warming hands or burning out-of-date day planners.
For nearly a quarter-century, Mahelia Skin Care & Spa has devoted itself to developing highly specialized treatments designed to treat cellulite and slow down the encroachment of Father Time. For the face, they offer an extensive selection of services that includes PCA peels, microdermabrasion, and Hydrasoin—an algae-based facial that, like dating a rain cloud, keeps skin hydrated. Like the PCA peels, the Age-Defying Body Peel is a monthly treatment that whispers away wrinkles and age spots, and the other body treatments are designed to drain toxins and liquids so as to slim silhouettes. Mahelia's aestheticians also perform a range of hair-removal services, ranging from waxing to long-lasting electrolysis treatments.
Spread across KMC Rejuveno Wellness Center's 2,300 square feet are four treatment rooms—one for nails, one for massages, and two for facials. Inside the latter, skin specialists grab Dermaquest, Murad, and Magnolia Orchid skincare products, then refine complexions with seven different facials. Spa-goers can also indulge in an aromatherapy massage in the candlelit massage room or a gel mani-pedi amid the nail room's tropical-muraled walls. Outside these rooms, crystal chandeliers glimmer over the ornate interior decor, which includes red velvet loveseats and cherubs plucking harps until Cupid retires and they get the call.
At Bella Aesthetics, the team works hard to make their work look invisible. Clients who come to Bella for custom cosmetic procedures do so in part because of the doctors' emphasis on natural-looking enhancement. That goes for all the work the doctors and staff perform, whether they're combating wrinkles with Botox and Dysport injections or dissolving varicose veins with sclerotherapy. The only work the team can't help getting attention for is their custom weight-loss plans, which help clients trim down with prescription injections.

IN CHAPTER 5, "PROGRAM LOOPING," YOU LEARNED that one of the fundamental properties of a computer is its capability to repetitively execute a sequence of instructions. But another fundamental property lies in its capability to make decisions. You saw how these decision-making powers were used in the execution of the various looping statements to determine when to terminate the program loop. Without such capabilities, you would never be able to "get out" of a program loop and would end up executing the same sequence of statements over and over again, theoretically forever (which is why such a program loop is called an infinite loop).
The C programming language also provides several other decision-making constructs, which are covered in this chapter:

(HealthDay News) -- Lightning is one of nature's leading killers. As the old adage goes, "If you can hear thunder, you're close enough to be struck by lightning."
The New York State Office of Emergency Management mentions these safety tips as a thunderstorm approaches:
Take shelter in a sturdy car or building, never under trees, in a small shed or in a convertible car.
Stay away from bodies of water and get out of a boat.
Unplug any unnecessary electrical appliances, and stay off of the phone.
Do not take a shower or bath during a thunderstorm.
Turn off your air conditioner to avoid the effects of a possible power surge.
If flash flooding is possible, get to higher ground.

Bullying is a reality our kids have to live with and be prepared to deal with. As much as I hope my boys will never encounter a bully, the truth is they probably will at some point (if they haven't already). I can't always be there to protect them, but I can empower them to protect themselves and their friends.
Every day, 160,000 kids miss school for fear of being bullied. We need more upstanders, more kids and more parents serving as a positive role model and stepping in to say NO to bullying.
In support of Anti-Bullying month, the boys and I had the opportunity to download and play a cool new app called Awesome Upstander , that was designed to encourage more kids (and parents) to take on this role. It's a fun, non-intimidating way to start an important conversation that teaches kids the signs of bullying and tips for standing up for themselves and their friends – safely.
Bullying can be a difficult subject to address. But with the Awesome Upstander app and some conversation starting tools from their website I felt like it went really well with our boys. They seemed to grasp what bullying is and to really have empathy for how it might effect someone. Most important, they walked away from our conversation empowered to not only identify and report bullying, but to avoid doing things that might make another child feel isolated or excluded.
If you haven't talked to your kids about bullying, I encourage you to download Awesome Upstander today and get the conversation started. For the month of October, the game is only 99 cents and 50% of game sales will be given to partner organizations like Truth Locker and Kind Campaign .
Have you talked to your child about bullying? Do you think an app can help fuel the conversation and create greater awareness among our kids?

PLATTSBURGH — At first, Olivia Gottschall did not succeed in her designs for the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Poster Contest, but she tried, tried and tried again.
In the end, she selected the right one. The daughter of Rich and Michelle Gottschall of Plattsburgh, Olivia is this year's winner of the contest with her portrait of Master Commandant Thomas Macdonough framed by the U.S. flag and the Macdonough Monument.
Jameson Fiegel of Westport Central placed second, Mackenzie Converse of Morrisonville Elementary took third place, and Brenna Mulvaney of Beekmantown Elementary School placed fourth.
"It was an art project that we were doing in class kind of," said Olivia, 10, who attends Momot Elementary.
"In art class, our art teacher, Miss G-C (Mary Gertsch-Cochran) said we were going to do the Battle of Plattsburgh competition."
Olivia chose Macdonough because he was famous and leader of the naval forces that squared off on Plattsburgh Bay against Capt. George Downie of the British War Navy during the War of 1812.
"I actually used a portrait of him," Olivia said. "I just tried to draw him as best I could. On the 100th-year anniversary, the monument was given to us by the government.
"I thought that it's not just the 200th-year anniversary of the Battle of Plattsburgh, but it is also 100th-year anniversary for the Macdonough Monument, so I thought I would add that because it's also important.
"The flag I just added because it's part of the United States of America, and we live there."
Olivia worked on her poster during art class, free time and at home, every day, until she completed it. At home was a little tricky because her sister, Eva, 4, likes to embellish her work.

It took five sets for things to be settled Tuesday night at the Bluefield High School gymnasium as the host Beavers defeated the Mount View Golden Knights 25-21, 27-25, 13-25, 17-25, 15-9 in volleyball action.
Mount View jumped to the early lead in game one and Bluefield tied at three. With Makenna Williams serving the Beavers extended their lead to 10-6 and eventually led 12-7. Mount View came back and go to within two at 13-11 before the Beavers moved back out front.
Mount View drew even at 16 and took the lead with Kayla Grygiel serving before Bluefield called time to regroup. After the timeout Bluefield surged back ahead and scored the final points of the game with Jamaikah Wallace serving and the Beavers taking a 25-21 win.
Game two saw the Golden Knights open a 13-4 lead behind the play of Chyna Gray. Slowly the Beavers fought their way back. Bluefield scored eight in a row to tie the game at 18 and an ace by Dakota Bragg put the home team on top 19-18, forcing Mount View to call time. After ties at 22, 23, 24 and 25 the Beavers put together two scores in a row to claim game two 27-25.
Facing a win or lose the match situation, Mount View scored the first five points of game three and led 9-3 when Bluefield called time. The Knights' lead in this game was at 10 points on several occasions and behind the serving of Grygiel and Gray Mount View took a 25-13 win.
Facing another elimination circumstance in game four, Mount View again took the early lead before Bluefield pulled ahead. and went up by four. The Knights, after a tie at 16, scored four in a row with Heather Tolnay serving and got the final point of the match on an ace by Gray to take a 25-17 win.
Going to the tie-breaking game Bluefield stormed out to a 7-2 lead at which time Mount View called a timeout. As they had done all game long, Mount View fought its way back and got to within two at 10-8, but that would be as close as the Knights would get as the Beavers went on a 5-1 run, with Areona Perkins serving four straight points to end the game with Bluefield on top 15-9 and giving the Beavers a five-set win over their rivals from McDowell County.
Bluefield coach Greg Breisch talked about the play of his team, Tuesday night.
"They played really hard. I'm really proud of them. They did a great job, they worked together as a team," Breisch said. "I'm really proud of them, JV and varsity, they both did well.
"They've been working a lot in practice not to give up, to work till the end. They pushed to the end and they did a great job."
The Beavers also won the junior varsity match.
Mount View coach Cassandra Burkett was equally pleased with her team's five-set effort.
"I think they did really well," Burkett said. "They need to play together more, I think, but it was a tough game for them. They played hard and they played to win. I'm proud of them."
Mount View hosts James Monroe on Thursday, while Bluefield is scheduled to host Montcalm the same day.

The common thread? The fact that Bauer and Rodriguez both liked them. "It was kind of hard sometimes," Bauer says today. "We got requests from tons of shitty bands, and it was, like, 'No, no, we don't like you guys.'"
A year after Clit Stop began, Kimo's started showcasing the same combination of rock and noise characterized by such varied Clit Stop players as Cock ESP, No Neck Blues Band, and Nautical Almanac — a mix that has filtered to the Hemlock Tavern and 21 Grand and into the sounds emerging from Bay Area bands like Deerhoof, Total Shutdown, and the pre–Yellow Swans group Boxleitner, all of whom played the Clit. "The weirder and more fucked up, the better," Bauer continues. "We wanted to push boundaries — we wanted to annoy people." Bauer moved out in 2000, leaving Rodriguez to continue to book shows at the venue under, Bauer says, the name Hot Rodney's Bar and Grill. Bauer went on to put on the first noise-pancake shows with ex–Church Police member and Bauer's Godwaffle Noise Pancakes co-overlord Bruce Gauld at Pubis Noir, a former sweatshop at 16th Street and Mission. Gauld is expected to put out a DVD of Clit Stop performances this year.
"The cheapness factor is a huge part," says Cansafis Foote, sax player for the No Doctors. "In Oakland right now, you have a lot of kids who are trying to make a go at being an artist or being a musician or whatever, and almost all of them are broke. But they're all really excited about people making stuff, so they'll go to Art Murmurs on the first Friday of the month or they'll go to warehouse shows, and maybe at the end of the day they won't have any money in their pocket — and we're still going to let 'em in to see the show. That, or they're underage."
An improv seminar leader at Northwestern University and onetime music teacher in Chicago, Foote was accustomed to instigating music- and merrymaking when he took the lease in February 2005 at Grandma's House in Oakland. "Everything was kind of funneling out of that experience and just having the background with Freedom From [the label the No Doctors ran with Matthew St. Germain] and free exploratory music." Grandma's House had already been putting on shows in the massive warehouse it shared with Limnal Gallery (and at one time the Spazz collective), and Foote threw his energy into doing two to three shows a month — including performances by Sightings, Burmese, Hustler White, Saccharine Trust, and Warhammer 48K — until March, when, he says, an especially loud show by USA Is a Monster brought the police on a noise complaint. Foote, a.k.a. Grandpa, was already bummed because housemates who had initially said they'd help with shows "totally weren't coming through on that. So I was sitting in my car and watching the gate while everyone was watching the show and I was, like, 'What's the point of doing this? I don't even get to see the show.' So I took a ladder and put it outside the window. I thought it was fun too, because it was like a clubhouse and people could come up the ladder and through the window into Grandma's House, and then the cops came, and one told me they'd unlock the seventh door to hell if I did it again.
"I was actually kind of excited — should I allow him to unlock the seventh door to hell for me? Is there going to be a special fire-breathing dragon there for me? It was amazing. It's, like, 'Dude, there's some 16-year-old kid who's going to shoot some other 16-year-old kid down the street — go deal with him.'"
The next show was the deal breaker: police returned twice to open that door as a brouhaha broke out at a Grey Daturas show between audience members and various warehousemates. Warehouse denizens put pressure on Foote to halt the shows, and now he's moving out: "It was the only reason I was living there.

Many thanks to July 4 City of Kenai (Park Strip), July 12 Kenai Kennel Club (Skyview), July 20 Homer Arts Council (Homer Street Faire, and July 26-27 Soldotna Progress Days for allowing our booth as part of your festivities, Homer animal Friends for your time in letting us explain to your group the work we are doing, KBBI Public Radio, Homer, AM890 (with sister station KDLL Kenai/Soldotna FM91.9) for air time interview at the Faire, and Copy Cats and Bare Threads for your generosity.
How ironic that Governor Parnell is now begging us Alaskans to give his tax give-away "a chance," when not long ago the people for Obamacare were asking him do just that with the healthcare law. Did he give it a chance? No, of course not: he did nothing but rail against it, and is still trying trip it up with partisan tricks in any way he can — before giving it "any" kind of a chance. So why shouldn't we just be partisan and try to crush his signature achievement without even a glance to see what good it could do ... if any? They say that your karma comes back to you.
About 10-12 years ago, Yukon River king salmon runs (of high Alaskan subsistence importance) began to diminish, a harbinger of more and continuing problems in Alaska king salmon fisheries. These diminished runs have continued. In that same time, the Deshka River has also sustained at least two long term king salmon sport fishing closures. Now, Kenai River king salmon runs are not meeting ADF&G escapement goals, and the River has been shutdown in consecutive years (2013-2014) for the first time in history.
Many years ago, when the tax cap of $500 on any sale in the Kenai Peninsula borough was eliminated on tourism packages, the borough experienced a huge increase in tax revenues. At the time, I was under the obviously false impression that the increased revenues would cover the budget of the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council, and then some. Apparently, those additional revenues have somehow been absorbed into our bloated government. There was much debate about bed tax vs.
If the Fisheries Conservation Alliance was truly for conservation of king salmon it would have opposed all king fishing in the Kenai River from the beginning of this season! When and only when the escapement was sufficient would they be for some type of fishery for kings.
I am one of the thousands of Alaskans that come to the Kenai for the personal-use dipnetting fishery each year. I would agree with numerous locals that voice their disgust at the lack of respect for the fish resources, the communities and Kenai and Soldotna, the beaches, etc. during the month of July for dipnetting. I am a 45-year resident of Alaska, and I was taught to respect our natural resources to be sure they are there for generations to come.
In response to Nancy Whiting's letter to the Clarion concerning the current "animal control" issue; she needs to understand that Alaska has state laws covering the minimum standards of animal care that citizens of Alaska must follow. There are many animals that are blessed to have caring owners that follow these laws and even far exceed these laws. Sadly there are many domestic animals that are not blessed with such a loving owner.
In the days and weeks ahead, we will be hearing all about "overescapement" of sockeye salmon into the Kenai River. "Too many fish will spawn on top of each other," will be the war cry, "They will kill each other off and the run will die off." "Manage biologically" will be heard over and over. "There will be too many fry and not enough food for them to successfully survive over the winters in the lakes." And on and on.
On behalf of the board of directors of the Kenai Peninsula Chapter of Safari Club International, we would like to thank all our volunteers that gave of their time to help at our fundraiser. Without your continuing support and time we would not be the great organization that we are. You as volunteers continue to help provide a voice for hunting and conservation in Alaska and opportunities for all to participate.
With the programs we provide we will be able to leave a legacy of hunting heritage and wildlife conservation for our children and grandchildren.
Thank you,
SB21 has been touted as the More Alaska Production Act. A more accurate description is Minimize Alaska's Profits Act. Historically, instability in the Middle East has driven the price of oil higher. Shouldn't Alaska shareholders benefit from the higher prices too? I'm voting yes on Proposition One, because the majority of our legislators forgot which "Board Room" they were in when they cast their vote.

Kerry Washington proved to be as good with a secret as her "Scandal" character this July when news broke she'd secretly wed San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
RELATED: Inside Kerry Washington's secret wedding
And in the October issue of Glamour, Washington opens up about the relationship -- as much as she ever intends to.
"I'm walking around in the world with my ring. And when people say congratulations, I say thank you. But I'm going to continue to not talk about it and just let it unfold," the Emmy-nominee says. "I don't want to sound smug about it, but the point is to do what's best for me. I have girlfriends in this business who talk about their personal lives, and it works for them, and I love it. But not for me."
VIDEO: Exclusive 'Scandal' Season Two deleted scene
On keeping her private life private, she adds, "I learned through experience that it doesn't work for me to talk about my personal life. I've had earlier times in my career when I did talk about it. I was on the cover of a bridal magazine. But I couldn't just turn around and say, 'I only want to talk about the good stuff, but not the bad stuff.' So I just thought, 'OK, no more.'"

This is a messy situation you have on your hands, chica.
Before you go and dump two people out of your life for good I think you should
have a private talk with your best friend. Ask her why she would date your ex
right after he broke up with you. There is a chance that she might have thought
it would not hurt your feelings. You need to express to her that your feelings
are indeed hurt. If she is sorry and expresses her concerns for what she has
done then I think it is OK to keep her as a best friend.

Alternative Spring Break 2013 Report Out
Three trips:
- Yakima, WA
- San Francisco, CA
- Ashland, OR
A HUGE Impact:
Yakima, WA
- A group of ten OSU students traveled to Yakima, WA, to uncover the human face and human cost of land acquisition, colonization, and immigration. During our week-long trip, we met with local activists, visionaries, and leaders, while completing six different service projects including painting a homeless shelter, running after school activities for at-risk youth, helping farmworkers in English language classes, completing beautification projects at the Toppenish Longhouse in preparation for their annual feast, and distributing food at a food bank. The group had the remarkable opportunity to attend a traditional Longhouse service, visit immigrants' homes to hear their stories, meet with the Major, the Police Chief, attend a Cultural fair at a local middle school, and learn more about immigration and activism from conscientious community members who are making a difference on a grassroots level. Through examining our own privileges and learning from community members, we uncovered buried roots of our nation's history and current immigration policy, unearthing stories that are often silenced, and exploring present and future implications for cultural groups in the United States.
"This trip has been so life changing and I honestly didn't think I would get emotional, but I did and I guess it goes to show how much I do care and how much this trip has changed my life"
- Total volunteer hours and educational hours
- Volunteer: 245 service hours
- Education: 120 educational hours
San Francisco, CA
- The group volunteered at 8 different organizations that provide resources to those experiencing hunger and poverty in the city. Among several activities, the group had an opportunity to be guests at a weekly human rights workgroup meeting, sort clothing donations at a free clothing store, serve meals, advocate for housing rights, and, above all, share several laughs, tears, and conversations directly with the homeless population of San Francisco. Overall, the group learned of their own privileges and how to look past stereotypes to truly value a group of individuals whose basic rights are taken away from them daily.
"I am overwhelmed and feel so empowered by the overall experience of this trip. Not only have I learned so much about the issues of homelessness and poverty, I have also gained a new experience with working at organizations that helped me learn about myself as well."
- Total volunteer hours and educational hours
- Volunteer: 189 service hours
- Education: 63 educational hours
Ashland, OR
- In Ashland, ten OSU students worked with three community partners on local environmental restoration and conservation projects during a week-long service trip sponsored by the OSU Center for Civic Engagement. Trip participants worked with Coyote Trails Nature Center, Bear Creek Watershed Council, and Ashland Parks and Recreation to mulch a community garden, widen a public hiking trail, install bird houses, restore riparian areas, and remove invasive species. In total, the group contributed 210 hours of service. Students also learned about food forests, water systems, outdoor living skills, and invasive species threatening the Ashland and Medford area.
"Through this ASB trip, I developed many new skills with working in nature. I have been enlightened by our community partners to respect nature and the environment around us."

And there is no denying that there is a need for solutions, and for help from lawmakers.
Several key questions emerged over and over again. Many who participated in the chat and town hall wanted to know what potential reforms lawmakers plan to consider when they reconvene next year.
"We are caught in a terrible situation," said Diana Correll, of Deerfield Beach, whose sentiments were typical of many with foreclosure concerns. "A large number of properties in condo and homeowners associations have been taken over by banks, residents are just picking up and leaving their properties along with their commitments, and [there is the] added problem of people who continue to live in their properties while not paying maintenance fees."
For answers, we turned to a panel of local experts: Jan Bergemann, president of Cyber Citizens for Justice; Donna D. Berger, executive director of Community Advocacy Network (CAN) and managing partner at Katzman Garfinkel Rosenbaum; Gary A. Poliakoff, attorney with Becker & Poliakoff P.A. and professor at Nova Southeastern University's law school; William Raphan, supervisor of the state Office of the Condominium Ombudsman in Fort Lauderdale; and State Rep. Julio Robaina, R-Miami.
What are the insurance requirements for condo owners?
Many voiced concerns about complex and confusing condo and HOA laws and insurance requirements.
Here is what you need to know, says Raphan: Unit owners are required to carry homeowners insurance with property loss assessment coverage of no less than $2,000 per occurrence, and the association must have an additional named insured and loss payee. The association requires proof of a currently effective hazard and liability policy from each owner, and may purchase a policy on behalf of the owner if he or she does not provide a valid certificate of insurance.
Unfortunately, the statutes suggest associations may purchase an insurance policy on behalf of a noncompliant owner, but do not say they must do so, leaving association boards -- and their attorneys -- to figure out what to do for themselves.
Who will fix foreclosure banking flaws?
Robaina promised, along with other lawmakers in the audience, to clean up this statute problem and others, including laws related to foreclosure processes. Many condo owners and homeowners complain that banks are allowed to forestall foreclosures and skip paying their share of maintenance fees.
Robaina said lawmakers are aware of widespread problems, and they are among potential reforms to look out for next legislative session. No details yet of what can be done, but possibilities include requiring banks to pay fees sooner than the 12 to 18 months it typically takes now to complete a foreclosure.

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have a code to make the footer on a website stick at bottom of screen when viewing on mobile devices such as Ipads or iphones ?
On a browsers for macs and pcs it is displayed fine. When viewing website on an ipad , for a page with less content the footer bar jumps up to the middle of the screen and leaves a gap below the header.
Any way of fixing the footer at bottom for mobile tablets ?
I've googled for hours and tried adding coding but to no success. Most people on forums said a jquery script is required.
Strange as non device browser displays website fine, but the IO6 iPads always seem to have a gap.
It may be a small query script to insert somewhere.
Thank you

Terrorist Prosecutions By the Numbers
by Daphne Eviatar Human Rights 1st, Wed Feb 03, 2010 at 02:55:05 PM EST
Last night on her MSNBC show, Rachel Maddow did a terrific segment about how Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is now providing valuable information to the FBI, despite receiving those dreaded Miranda warnings that 'tough-on-terror' critics are complaining about. In the segment, Maddow citedthe Justice Department saying that more than 300 terrorists were convicted in the civilian U.S. court system by the Bush administration.
As many people know, Human Rights First published a thorough and widely-cited report in 2008 on those successful terrorist convictions. Yet our updated report, issued last year, cited only 195 terrorists convicted. So what accounts for the different numbers?
In fact, both are true – as is an NYU Center on Law and Security report that recently found that more than 500 suspected terrorists have been convicted in the civilian justice system since September 11, 2001. It all just depends on what you're counting.
Human Rights First took the most conservative approach. Relying on two respected former federal prosecutors in New York with experience trying terrorism cases, we wanted to see how many cases the courts have handled specifically related to radical self-described Islamic or "Jihadist" terrorism, such as al Qaeda, since that's where the public debate has focused. So the former prosecutors – James Benjamin, now a partner at the highly-respected law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, and the other, Richard Zabel, now head of the criminal division in the U.S. Attorney's office of the Southern District of New York – analyzed just that.
But there are other violent terrorist groups out there, such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (the FARC) and the Tamil Tigers. Prosecutions of their leaders and supporters raise similar concerns about the need to obtain important intelligence information and to protect classified evidence and the identity of certain witnesses. According to a Justice Department spokesman, the Department's statement that more than 300 terrorists were convicted in U.S. courts during the Bush administration therefore includes those prosecutions, since they also represent the Justice Department's experience and expertise in handling these complex and sensitive cases.
The NYU numbers, meanwhile, are even broader. In its recently-released report, the Center for Law and Security looked at all cases since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 that the Justice Department initially described as terrorist-related. Many of those suspects were not charged under terrorism-related statutes, however, but charged with fraud or immigration violations instead. That was part of an initial post-9/11 strategy to get potential terrorists off the streets before they could attack, even if the government did not have sufficient evidence of terrorist connections to secure a conviction. Increasingly, the government has moved away from that strategy and charged suspected terrorists with terrorism-related crimes.
So the numbers just depend on what you're counting. But the main point – regardless of how many hundreds of convictions we're talking about – is that the Department of Justice has proven itself time and again to be well-equipped to interrogate terrorist suspects, investigate terrorism plots and prosecute complex terrorism cases. Military commissions, by contrast, have not: they've only convicted three terrorists so far, two of whom have already been released from prison.
The recent hysteria about how we shouldn't be giving constitutional rights to non-U.S. citizens is a red herring. (It's also worth noting, as Glenn Greenwald explained in an excellent post on Salon on Monday, that the Constitution requires according foreigners detained in the U.S. Constitutional rights – as the Supreme Court ruled as far back as 1886 and recently reaffirmed in its decision inBoumedienne v. Bush.)
Not only does the U.S. Constitution confer those rights, but based on the experience of our own time-tested federal justice system, sound national security policy demands it.
