You could say my muscles are slackers. I tell my muscles to quite being so damn lazy, and let me take a stroll; they don't listen. So, it's good I've got a chair to pick up the slack. It's Swedish, but luckily not from Ikea; assembly would be a bitch. My legs got weaker over time to the point that I was required to ride in style at age 11. I'm now 30, Blogger and aspiring author.

Rodolfo Guzman
Ground-breaking Chilean
Curanto cooked with rainwater from Patagonia
Av. Nueva Costanera 3467, Vitacura, Santiago
+56 22 953 8893
Describing itself as a dialogue between nature and cuisine, Boragó's emphasis on natural Chilean techniques permeates everything from the varied and seasonal menu to the simple yet welcoming décor. As well as meat, fish and shellfish, Boragó's diverse larder includes foraged herbs, edible flowers and wild berries, sourced from the wilds of Patagonia to the heights of the Andes.
After training under Andoni Luis Aduriz at seminal Spanish restaurant Mugaritz, Chilean native Rodolfo Guzman returned to Santiago's classy Vitacura district, where he has been working his magic with seasonal, native ingredients – including shellfish, mushrooms, herbs and highland flowers – since 2007. Dishes demonstrate the chef's interest in the relationship between food, health and mood, and in exploring historic techniques and recipes. The kitchen is intent on using methods passed down the generations, which is why you'll see cooking on an array of rocks and ingredients smoked over timber sourced from different Chilean regions.
Theatre underpins the presentation: small wine-soaked and lemon-coated Chilean pears are served on a bonsai tree; crockery is largely forgotten as bite-size morsels perch on polished wooden branches, smooth rocks and jagged stone slates. With two tasting menus wrought from the finest produce the country has to offer, Boragó offers a sumptuous, 'edge of the world' dining experience for those seeking creative, unhurried cooking that is the best in Chile.

The Mid-Ohio School Opens Season This Week
The Mid-Ohio School begins its 2012 driving and riding season with three courses this week.
The robust schedule featuring over 150 dates will begin with a Corporate Driving Experience on Thursday, March 15 and two Honda Teen Defensive Driving Programs Saturday and Sunday, March 17-18. Another 50 Honda Defensive Driving Program dates occur after the opening weekend. The school's most popular course has over 14,500 graduates during the last 19 seasons.
Since wrapping up the 2011 season, The Mid-Ohio School has introduced a pair of new formats to its offerings: Advanced Driving Dynamics and the Family Driving Days option. Advanced Driving Dynamics is a new class focused on improving and refining existing skills. Drivers will work on highway speed lane changes, slalom, braking and turning maneuvers. There are also car control elements with some of the exercises taking place on track.
An offering within the Honda Teen Defensive Driving Program, the Family Driving Days option allows a parent to take the class at the same time as son or daughter. Parents spend time with their teens learning key skills while refreshing important safety habits themselves.
Also new in 2012 is Chief Instructor Todd Snyder. Snyder was named to the role earlier this year after spending 21 years at Skip Barber Racing School. Snyder will oversee The Mid-Ohio School's curricula and manage the instructors and coaches. He will also serve as a lead instructor a number of days throughout the year.
"We have been busy getting ready for the season kick off this weekend and the countdown is almost over," said Snyder. "I can't wait to get going and start the season. We're excited about the large early demand to the new programs as well as our existing ones. It looks like this season is going to be the best one yet."
The ever-expanding Performance Track Riding program will have nearly two dozen dates this year. The first opportunity riders can drag their knees around Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course is May 13-14. For the most avid riders, the Frequent Rider Program features scheduling and pricing benefits.
The Key to Safe Teen Driving Program, now in its fourth year, will visit 12 markets and host 24 free driving clinics. Run in partnership with KeyBank and Kumho Tires, the program started with one date at a location in suburban Columbus, Ohio in 2009, eight dates in four markets in 2010 and 18 days at 12 stops last year. The 2012 schedule includes Ohio stops in Canton/Akron, Toledo, Cleveland, Datyon/Cincinnati and Columbus as well as out-of-state visits to Ann Arbor, Mich., Indianapolis, Ind., South Bend, Ind., Rochester, N.Y., Buffalo, N.Y., Appleton, Wisc. and Eau Claire, Wisc.
"The Mid-Ohio School continues to grow each and every year," said Craig Rust, president of The Mid-Ohio School. "We are extremely proud of the job our instructors have done, especially with the teen drivers that have gone through the program. Every year we receive letters from past students and parents telling us how the school helped alleviate or minimize an auto accident, so we have no doubt that the program is saving lives."
The 2012 schedule, powered by Westfield Insurance, is available online at
. Drivers and riders are welcome to enroll in over 150 dates or order gift certificates online or by calling 877-793-TMOS (8667).
The Mid-Ohio School is supported by American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Comfort Inn & Suites, Dunlop Tire, KTM North America, Kumho Tire USA, Presta Performance Products, Quality Inn & Suites, Sunoco, Tucker Rocky Distributing and Westfield Insurance.
The Mid-Ohio School provides professional driving and riding instruction to drivers and motorcyclists of all skill levels. The school's 16 automobile courses include Defensive Driving, High Performance and Racing programs. The motorcycle side features four Performance Track Riding formats. Students enjoy classroom sessions, skill drills, expert private instruction and lapping on the same track that challenges the world's top racers. In 19 seasons, The Mid-Ohio School has 46,000 graduates, including 14,500 teenagers and 9,000 motorcycle riders.

Reviews for Public-Private Alliance Foundation
The Public Private Alliance Foundation (PPAF) has striven to help people in different parts of the world for many years. The PPAF has provided access to personal computers in Madagascar. More recently they have worked to provide clean ethanol cook stoves to women in Haiti to replace the wood burning stoves that both cause health problems in the homes and led to the deforestation of the country. By sourcing the manufacture of these cook stoves, and the ethanol they use, in Haiti, the PPAF is also trying to provide jobs to help the country recover from the devastating earthquake.
PPAF try to seek more clean, environmental and safe way of cooking for Haiti people. At the same time it helps achieve part of Sustainable Development Goals. As an intern so far, I'm sure PPAF had achieved a lots during three stoves tests. We are looking forward for bring better life to Haiti people. I am proud of being an intern in PPAF!

I am doing an internship in PPAF, every member in PPAF is passionate. Especially, the ethanol cookstoves project in Haiti was really impressed me so much. This year august, 29 participants joined the second time testing, we made a big improvement on the stove and we also named the stove as 'Recho EcoVit'. Here is a good place for young people to start their dreams, if you want to join the NGO or other international organizations, why start from here? You can get a lot of good opportunities to get involved in international affairs.

I was interning with PPAF, which is non-profit organization working for sustainable cooking in Haiti. Haitian people used charcoal for their cooking, and it caused severe deforestation as well as health problems. PPAF has made an ethanol stove that is using ethanol made from sugarcane in Haiti. It is not only promoting Haitian economic but also reducing Environmental and health problem. As an intern who closely watched the work of PPAF, I am saying that PPAF had achieved tremendous work. When I had worked with PPAF on this spring, we were working on developing the ethanol cookstove. PPAF received an award from UN Environment Program in May. The first field test took place in June. Also, the PPAF team went to Haiti in Agust to complete stove production and carry out a second kitchen use test of the ethanol stove. Since members' great enthusiasm, their project is always progressing. I always wish the best for PPAF, and the members.

Bringing ethanol-powered clean cooking to Haiti comes with lofty goals and some big challenges. However, having worked on the project with PPAF, I have personally seen the great potential it holds in turning around the poverty-deforestation-disease cycle that is currently crippling far too many people in Haiti. PPAF has obviously not shied away from taking on such a big challenge given how far the ethanol cookstove project has come and I credit that to their devotion to evidence-based practice driving their strategies.
2 people found this review helpful
During my time interning at PPAF, I have come to find that the smaller size of the organization has not stopped it from taking on a very important task in the field of sustainable development in developing countries. While working on their clean- burning, ethanol-based cook stove project that they have piloted in Haiti, I had the opportunity to visit the country to do some field testing with the cook stoves and even visit some of the hospitals to see how respiratory disease is affecting the people. I found the buzz phrase, "Helping people to break out of the poverty-disease-deforestation trap", to be very apt with regard to the potential impact of the project. Replacing charcoal with ethanol as a cooking fuel indeed provides a unique opportunity to bolster the Haitian economy while stopping deforestation and improving the health of the people. What I appreciate about PPAF is the manner in which it uses its strengths in networking to take this project off the ground. I have seen how PPAF aims to connect Haitian sugar cane farmers, grass-roots NGOs, and local organizations with the private sector and the international organizations that can provide the resources, expertise and funding needed to bridge the gaps. It has been a pleasure working with the organization and I am very lucky to have worked on such an important and amazing project. I hope PPAF is able to continue connecting people and organizations to help get Haitians out of what is indeed a poverty-disease-deforestation trap.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
PPAF could recruit a volunteer or intern who could work on raising awareness of the issues locally and on increasing PPAF's presence in the community.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
A lot
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I have been working for PPAF as a project assistant and I can assert that all of the members of PPAF are seriously involved in the clean cookstove project in Haiti. I have had a great experience joing this non-profit and I am convinced that this project is viable and will contribute to solve health and environment issues in Haiti.
PPAF is doing exciting work with sustainable cookstoves in Haiti. It also continues to support important initiatives in the Dominican Republic and Madagascar. PPAF is a credible non-profit with strong ties to the United Nations. I'm so pleased that it is now a member NGO recognized by the UN Department of Public Information. I am a strong supporter of PPAF because I believe in its missions, people, and future. PPAF is very accessible to youth. I highly recommend its internship program - flexible, unique, and rewarding.
I had an outstanding experience interning at PPAF in 2008. It was a real pleasure working with David and Ginger. While interning, I had the opportunity to conduct interesting research, plan the Partners Against Poverty event, and attend meetings at the UN. I am now an Associate of PPAF. I am very proud of everything the organization has accomplished in a short time. Keep up the good work!
Although PPAF is a young non-profit, it has done some outstanding work. The people behind the organization are extremely hard working and dedicated to the PPAF mission.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
bringing together a variety of interests (business, non-profit, United Nations, academic, etc.) through its annual Partners Against Poverty conference, which aims to stimulate entrepreneurship and commerce-related activities in the Domincan Republic and Madagascar.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
engage more youth.
The Public-Private Alliance Foundation continues to develop a healthy and green alternative cook stove for Haiti and other countries dependent on wood burning stoves. In early September 2015, despite heavy rains in Haiti, a member of the Foundation was there to ensure that testing of the ethanol cook stoves continued. The foundation is also working on economical sources of ethanol for the cook stoves.
I had the pleasure of being involved with the Public-Private Alliance Foundation in the Spring of 2009 and I have been with them ever since ! I first started as an intern then transitioned into an Associate role. The work and passion that David and Ginger (along with other volunteers, interns and board members) is remarkable. I was fortunate to be involved in various initiatives of the non-profit organization, PPAF such as: Spanish to English translator (and vice versa) as well as my most notable role, Conference Coordinator for their 2009 Bio Energy Conference in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. PPAF has many partnerships that they have created and reinforced in order to promote various social causes. They aim to make improvements for others in impoverished regions by bridging the gap between public and private sectors in order to create much needed changes. I advise everyone to look into their many initiatives, a current one being their; Global Cookstoves project which originated in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. The world is a good place having David and Ginger making important strides through their humane and humble acts carried out through PPAF.
As a volunteer and an admiring observer of the deep commitment, amazing energy and collaborative spirit of David and Ginger, I highly endorse PPAF. Building on years of experience and an expansive networks of contacts, PPAF brings together multiple actors to foster innovative partnerships in the spirit of what DevEx's Kate Warren recently described as "an integrator" role. This is key to both effectiveness and sustainability. Bravo!

My research investigates the role of vaginal lactobacilli in the prevention and pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis. To elucidate the effect of vaginal Lactobacillus colonization on the likelihood of developing BV, I am performing an epidemiological analysis on data generated by a longitudinal cohort study on the dynamics of the vaginal microbiota. Additionally, my research examines the extent to which production of antimicrobial substances differs across Lactobacillus species. To do this, I am performing a comparative genomics analysis of vaginal lactobacilli to examine differences in the numbers and kinds of small, antimicrobial peptides encoded. Thesein silico findings will be compared to in vitro antimicrobial activity against bacterial vaginosis-associated bacteria.

Once a necessity in the game of golf, the hickory-shafted club has become a nostalgia-inducing symbol of the sport's historic beginnings in America.
When spending time on the golf course, it's a rare sight to see someone using a club with a shaft made of wood rather than metal. But there are some groups around the country, including one right in Aiken, that continue to take swings with these clubs.
Other people collect these old clubs that once were held by some of golf's first big names.
Golden era of golf
John Inglis was the man who helped design the Aiken Golf Club, established in 1912, and he was also known for building a perfectly balanced hickory-shafted club.
Aiken Golf Club Owner Jim McNair Jr. said that until about the 1930s, hickory-shafted clubs were the tools of the trade. Since there really was no such thing as a sporting goods store during that time, Inglis and others, such as golf-course designer Donald Ross, handcrafted these clubs for players.
Using hickory, because it was a strong wood, forged metal and a few measurements of the player's height, clubs were made uniquely for each golfer.
"It was a real golden era of golf because you had to really connect with your clubs since they were built for you," McNair said. "Each club was different, so you had to have a feel for each one in your bag. You had to know each club very intimately in your set to be a really good player."
Before the United States Golf Association began to really implement regulations to the game, clubs were nonconforming.
For example, some club makers would put deep grooves in the faces to help a golfer get out of a sand trap, McNair said.
By the 1930s, the Golf Association got more strict about clubs that were used in efforts to avoid anyone having an unfair advantage, McNair added.
The 1930s were also the time that Spalding began experimenting with metal shafts, and the slow transition from hickory shaft to iron commenced.
McNair said to help with the transition – as some players were not ready to let go of their beloved hickory clubs – some iron shafts were painted to resemble wood.
Playing with hickory
McNair has a few hickory-shafted clubs in his collection, and he's played golf with them before.
"I love the feel, but the distance is not there," McNair said. "You don't have the consistency, and it adds a whole new element to the game."
In the early 1900s, golf was not so much a power game, but more of a finesse game, McNair said.
There's a group of local women who are quite aware of the challenges of using the hickory-shafted golf club.
The "Ladies Only" Hickory-Shafted Golf Tournament takes place each year in Aiken, and participants will get dressed in heavy, vintage clothing that was worn by female golfers from the early 1900s, which offers its own set of challenges.
Tournament participant Pat Wilson said, "There's this really good feeling about going back in the past and understanding, as well as appreciating, how they played in these clothes with hickory shafts."
To these women, the time in which hickory-shafted golf clubs were used is important to the history of female players.
During that time, the Aiken Golf Club was one of the first courses in America to feature tees especially for women, and legendary female golfers Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Patty Berg played there.
It offered women the opportunity to get out and do something they couldn't do before, said PJ Foster, another hickory-shafted golf club player.
When playing with these clubs, it doesn't really take a full swing, but rather a more "smooth, buttery" motion, the ladies said.
The balls used in those games were a bit more fragile than the ones used today.
If the ball broke, the player had to finish the hole with the largest remaining piece, Wilson said.
These days, when these women hit the green wearing their hats, long skirts and heavy coats, they get a few looks from other players on the course.
They often are asked if they can have their photo taken, and people do get quite inquisitive.
The women also hope to encourage other ladies to join their annual tournament, which will take place in October.
"Even if you haven't played in a while, this particular game is comfortable, and easier, with these clubs," Foster said. "There's no pressure."

Federal Budget 2014: Incentive to hire older workers as aged pensioners tighten their belts
- From: News Corp Australia
- May 13, 2014
AGED pensioners will be hit with slower growth in their pension payments and tightened eligibility tests from 2017, under the Coalition's first budget which seeks to curtail the rapidly expanding costs of the ageing population.
But the federal budget, handed down last night, has seen the government dismiss one of the key recommendations of the Commission of Audit — to include the family home in the asset test for the aged pension.
The Abbott government has confirmed the pension age will rise to 70 by 2035. In what may be an opportunity for the increasing army of older job-seekers, the government will pay subsidies of up to $10,000 over two years to employers who hire mature workers — those over 50.
Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey seized on the fact that the aged pension changes would not come into effect until 2017, to stress they were not in breach of the Coalition's election promise to make no changes to the pension in their first term of government.
From September 2017 onwards, the aged pension will no longer grow in line with average male weekly earnings — instead it will be indexed twice a year against inflation.
Mr Hockey said the move would ensure the government could "make pensions sustainable and affordable for decades to come".
The changes to indexation for the aged pension, along with parenting payments, carers payments, Veteran Affairs pensions and the Disability Support Pensions, will save the government close to $400 million in 2017-18 alone.
Further savings of half a billion in 2017-18 will be made by freezing the eligibility thresholds for pension payments from 1 July 2017.
That means the amount pensioners can earn before their payments start being reduced, which is currently up to $156 a fortnight, will not increase year on year.
The Coalition will also move to tighten the eligibility criteria for full- or part-pension payments, by determining that older Australians are earning a higher rate on investments over $30,000.
The Seniors Supplement, which provided annual payments of $876.20 for single adults who were eligible for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, and $1320.80 for couples, has been scrapped. And the eligibility criteria around the health card has been tightened, now taking into account untaxed superannuation.
But the income thresholds for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card will be indexed annually against the Consumer Price Index, which will mean about 27,000 more self-funded retirees will not lose out on the entitlement because of modest changes in their incomes.
The Seniors Health Care and Pension Concession Cards have also been hit, with the government axing a range of concessions which will save the budget $1.3 billion over four years.
The Coalition has also scrapped the Mature Age Workers Tax Offset which provided tax concessions of up to $500 for people over 55 who had a net income from working.
Aged care has also been hit in the budget, with the government saving $1.7 billion over six years from 1 July 2018 by slowing the growth in the Commonwealth Home Support Program.
Another $652 million has been saved over the next four years by scrapping Payroll Tax Supplement payments to eligible aged care providers from 1 January 2015.

I Always knew this was coming from a liberal goverment,always does. I would just like to add that if the Labour goverment had not stimulated the aconomy with its spending spree then this country would have gone into recession with the rest of World. Labour do not look so bad now do they ,watch how the Liberals will fill their own pockets and that of big bussiness in the future,I did not vote for them so I sleep well at night.
Brian K Posted at 9:25 AM May 14, 2014
Commentators are also totally missing the fact that many new applicants for a pension/health card will miss out because the current government has shifted the goal posts by deciding that interest earned from super accounts will now be included as income in the âincome testâ criteria for pension eligibility. Iâm not sure if this is happening now or in 2017?
Troglodyte of Cave Nine Posted at 8:36 AM May 14, 2014
The pension supplement appears to have been scrapped for fully or partly self-funded retirees but its unclear whether or not that applies to full age pension recipients. I also noticed a suggestion that the work bonus will be scrapped & if I understand that correctly it would mean pensioners can't take on a part time job without losing part of theirn pension payment. No point asking Centrelink as those clowns will be even more up in the air than anyone else ... maybe in a few weeks or so.

With the decision to move Carlos Guillen from shortstop to first base full time in 2008, the Tigers opened up a huge hole on the left side. Guillen had been an anchor for the team there for the past four seasons, providing solid defense, excellent offense and leadership around the diamond.
Guillen's offensive production will remain in the lineup, but his defense has slowly declined, prompting the Tigers to decide to make the move even before the '07 season came to an end. That meant of course that the Tigers were opening up a gaping hole, especially defensively.
The Tigers didn't believe they had an internal candidate to fill the role – Ramon Santiago doesn't have the bat, Omar Infante doesn't have the defense, and the organization's closest everyday shortstop prospect, Mike Hollimon, is still probably a year away from being completely big league ready. That meant the Tigers would have to go about replacing Guillen via either free agency or trade.
The pickings were slim, and the Tigers jumped at the opportunity to acquire Edgar Renteria from the Atlanta Braves. The 32-year old shortstop hit .332 last year for the Braves, with 12 home runs and 57 RBI. Renteria was viewed by many as expendable to the Braves with the emergence of youngster Yunel Escobar, who is expected to be Atlanta's everyday shortstop.
In exchange for Renteria, the Braves acquired right-handed starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens, and minor league outfielder Gorkys Hernandez.
The price was a steep one for the Tigers. Not only are they assuming most of Renteria's $9 million salary for 2008 (the cash considerations were not disclosed), but the team forfeited two of their top five prospects in the process.
Jurrjens, at just 21 years of age, has already held his own at the big league level (posting a 3-1 record in seven starts for the Tigers) and was poised to compete for a starting spot in the Tigers' rotation in 2008. Hernandez meanwhile played his first full season of pro ball for the low-A West Michigan Whitecaps, where he put up a .293 average, swiped 54 bases, and was named the Midwest League's Most Valuable Player.
In summary, the Tigers traded two of their best prospects (including a likely starter in 2008) for an aging, 32-year old shortstop that will likely cost the team $20 million for two seasons of production (assuming the Tigers pick up Renteria's $11 million option for 2009).
In this day and age, there comes a time when you have to give up something to get something, and when options are limited, the price tag can get steep. But the Tigers are making a huge gamble, basically betting that Renteria can solve many of the team's existing problems and put them in position to get back into the playoffs and the World Series.
But Renteria won't solve the Tigers problems in left field where they currently have slotted some combination of Marcus Thames, Ryan Raburn and Timo Perez. He won't add a left-handed bat to a righty-dominated lineup. He won't provide insurance in case Gary Sheffield can't return to full strength, or if Brandon Inge doesn't return to his 2006 form. And that's not even mentioning the numerous pitching problems the Tigers had in 2007 when they ranked a pedestrian 18th in baseball in earned run average.
And not only that, but Renteria has now severely limited the Tigers ability to make moves elsewhere, by adding another large salary to the payroll, and costing the team some if its key trading chips.
Losing Hernandez might not be a great loss in the immediate future, as he is likely still several years away from contributing at the big league level, and would eventually be blocked by Curtis Granderson and possibly stud prospect Cameron Maybin. But Jurrjens emerged as reliable at a time in which the Tigers were desperate for someone to step up; and did so while being a 21-year old with a fastball that could touch 97-MPH and incredible control.
Now the team no longer has Jurrjens as an option to help. The team's closer and elder starter from 2007 (Todd Jones and Kenny Rogers) are both free agents, and neither are locks to return. And the flame-throwing Joel Zumaya is now out for at least the first half of the 2008 season after undergoing shoulder surgery to repair his shoulder he injured while escaping the Southern California fires.
And on top of the money and prospects gone, it was all for a shortstop who has no guarantee to produce at the level the Tigers are hoping. His career average OPS is actually over 100 points lower (.756) than his OPS in '07 (.860). His only year playing in the American League, his OPS was even lower (.720). Not exactly a lock, and certainly not something you want to be as your blockbuster move and the centerpiece of your offseason plans.
Is David Eckstein as good as Renteria? Maybe, maybe not – but he wouldn't have cost the Tigers two key prospects. Is Jack Wilson as good as Renteria? Maybe, maybe not – but he would have cost the Tigers less money, and not both Hernandez and Jurrjens. Is a Santiago/Hollimon platoon as good as any of the above options? Probably not – but it wouldn't have cost the prospects or the money.
The Tigers had other options, but elected to gamble on Renteria.
If Renteria can produce like he did in 2007 while staying healthy. If the Tigers can bring back Jones and Rogers, or upgrade those roles if they don't. If someone emerges as the team's left fielder. If, If, If. The Tigers still have a lot of 'if's' in the equation, and just used up top prospects and a lot of money without answering any of those problems.
Everything could work out, and the Tigers could emerge as baseball's best in 2008. But that's a big 'if'.

Bryan Fischer was so enamored with Ben Carson's statement that prison sex proves that homosexuality is a choice that he spent two segments on his radio program today heaping praise upon Carson and defending his statement.
In fact, Fischer was so impressed with Carson's statement that he declared that Carson has now set "the benchmark for the other Republican candidates" and called for every other possible GOP candidate to be asked the same question so that they are all forced to state for the record whether they believe that being gay is a choice.
"I hope they are asked this question," Fischer said. "I want every single Republican candidate on record: Do you think that homosexual conduct is a choice? I want every GOP presidential candidate to be asked that question and to be put on record. Do you believe that homosexuality is a choice? What is your answer?"

I am really fascinated with CUB's product portfolio. This will out perform any defense company. Mark my word!
Good to see a message from someone who recognizes cubic's potential.this site has had too many loser fired employees predicting bankruptcyfor years.
Totally agree! It was pretty idiotic to write about bankruptcy when its revenue is equal to its market cap and has 340mil cash in hand. This will be one company to hold! This has so much potential and yet I do not see much discussion about its growth and future.

This week's blog is written by New York massage therapist Nicole Kruck. Nicole specializes in fertility massage as well as pre and postnatal massage. We often get asked questions about prenatal massage and decided to put some of these questions to Nicole. Below are her answers. You can book an appointment with Nicole online by clicking here. Jill Blakeway
"What is prenatal massage?"
It is just like a regular massage: it loosens the muscles and joints, improves the circulation to you and your baby, and relieves fatigue. The difference is prenatal massage is performed by a New York certified prenatal massage specialist who is able to target the unique needs of mothers-to-be in each trimester. These therapists are adept at working with specific conditions that can occur during pregnancy such as pelvic pain, digestive and elimination issues to bring you safe relief. The length of your prenatal massage can range from sixty minutes to two hours depending on your specific needs. Several techniques are employed such as Swedish massage, myofascial, stretching & range of motion, and other modalities to relax and soothe the body, treat and ease tensions. At the end of the session you are left feeling restored, relaxed and comfortable in your happy body. You will also get tips on how to sleep better, foods that support pregnancy, relaxation techniques and exercise to support you during this time of added stress. As your pregnancy progresses you will find each trimester will hold it's own focus for your body's needs.
"How is prenatal massage different in the first trimester?"
This is when we create the foundation for your pregnancy.
As weight in your belly begins to increases your center of gravity shifts adding stress and strain to weaker areas. This is your opportunity to concentrate on muscles, ligaments, and postural problems to create a stronger structural foundation. The focus of your first trimester is to address any pre-existing conditions that would include chronic issues: back, neck, shoulder or pelvic pain, sciatica, or other recurring problems. Immediately attending to these issues will support your body's ability to more easily distribute the added weight as your baby grows. Along with physical support massage at this time also reduces emotional anxieties which are important to a healthy foundation.
"What about the second trimester? Does the massage differ?"
In some ways this is your baby's first massage At this stage the pregnancy is settled in and it is time to focus on uterine support. As your uterus increases in size( 4 oz to 13 lb..) it is easy to over stress the 13 ligaments which give it support. Keeping the ligaments toned easily prevents many debilitating symptoms such as pelvic or back pain, premature delivery, and back labor. However, most importantly massage is a wonderful way to connect to your baby. You will be taught your own self care massage for home play.
"And in the third trimester?"
This is when we start to prepare you for labor.So many internal and external events are taking place in preparation for your labor and birth. As strain to ligaments increase due to weight and increased hormones simple movements can induce pain until the muscles around them are releases. Also uterine pressure to your legs can cause excessive swelling along with blockages to digestion and elimination. Not only does prenatal massage on a regular basis help combat these symptoms but it will also relax your body in preparation for an easier labor, delivery and recovery.
"Should our Yinova Moms still be coming in for massage post-partum?"
Yes indeed. I like to say that we are returning a wandering wombYour body has been put under tremendous stress. Especially in the abdominal and pelvic area where there are many new physical and emotional demands. These experiences – recovering from your pregnancy, delivery (especially with cesarean section) and now caring for your newborn are all individually major transitions. Postnatal massage supports recovery of all these stages in a gentle and effective way.One major overlooked problem in postpartum recovery are the uterine ligaments. These ligaments are meant to easily expand to accommodate pregnancy however, recovery can many times create complications. One uterine massage after birth will not usually repair the nine months they have endured under great pressure. Especially if there was some type of trauma during delivery (such back labor, cesarean, extended pushing, improper care). These ligaments have a hard time recovering just like the over stretched elastic in your waist band. If they are not properly healed the uterus can not return to it's proper positioning and many can complications occur. Some complications are incontinence, uterine, bladder or rectal prolapse, constipation, scar tissue especially with caesarean fallopian tube blockages and future fertility issues.Getting regular massage and learning to do your own "Self-Care Massage" will assist not only the uterine ligaments and uterus to return to proper place but, will support the harmony of all healing.You can start Postpartum Massage one week after a normal vaginal delivery, six weeks after a normal cesarean and after release of doctors care from any other complications.
"So how would you sum up the benefits of prenatal massage?"
The health of your uterus and it's ligaments will assist you in avoiding common complications such as incontinence, prolapse, scar tissue (especially with caesarean) and future fertility issues. Prenatal massage does more than benefit the mother. Everything a pregnant woman does from her diet and fitness to her relaxation and relative state of contentment – also directly affects the child she is carrying. Study after study has proven that calmness in the mother leads to healthier baby development. According to a study¹ receiving regular prenatal massage benefits labor by:
- 25% shorter delivery time
- 30%reduction in all pain medications
- 50% fewer cesarean births
- 60% less request for epidurals
Prenatal massage:
- promotes relaxation
- reduces edema
- reduces blood pressure & relieves varicose veins
- improves blood circulation & lymph circulation
- facilitates support for respiratory, digestive & elimination
- releases neck, back and and other joint pain
- relieves muscle spasms and cramps
- reduces mental strain, fatigue and depression & anxiety

ABOARD THE U.S. COAST GUARD CUTTER KEY BISCAYNE - Slicing through whitecapped swells between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, a U.S. Coast Guard cutter patrolled Friday for Dominican migrants trying to reach U.S. shores.
Authorities in January caught more Dominican boat people than they did in all of last year, signaling growing desperation in a nation struggling through its worst economic crisis in decades.
The surge has prompted the United States to deploy more ships and aircraft in the Caribbean, where short-staffed agencies are expected to do search and rescue missions, hunt for drug traffickers, protect fisheries and guard against terrorist threats to cruise ships and oil refineries.
"We're seeing something like we've never seen before," said Coast Guard Lt. John Morkan, 35, aboard the St. Petersburg, Fla.-based Key Biscayne cutter, which arrived last month with its 18 crew members on a 35-day deployment in the Mona Passage.
"The means of migrant smuggling have stayed the same, but we're seeing a lot more from the Dominican Republic," Morkan said.
A decade ago, it was a Haitian exodus that helped spur a U.S. invasion of Haiti, which shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. Despite worse economic conditions in Haiti, Dominicans last month began fleeing in far greater numbers and overtook Haitians as the largest number of boat people in the region.
Dominican President Hipolito Mejia's popularity has plunged as his people have watched the value of the Dominican peso lose more than half its value in the past year and prices of gasoline and food nearly double.
The national debt, meanwhile, has ballooned from $3.7 billion at the end of 2000 to $7.6 billion in December.
Scandals have scared away investors. In May, one of the largest Dominican banks collapsed and two others nearly went bankrupt when investigators discovered executives were using shadow companies to give themselves millions of dollars. An estimated $2 billion was reported lost.

I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am right, don't need to look no further
This ain't lust, I know this is love but
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste, even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up?
Or should I just (ugh) keep on (yeah) chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements (x4)
"You know, it's crazy, man
I never thought music could have got us this far
Y'all have no idea how many sleepless or hungry nights we spent
On the fucking floor and couches just trying to get to this point
But no matter how hard the road gets, you gotta stay the course man
Keep chasing these pavements 'til you can't run anymore
Lace Up!"

Chasing Pavements, the 4th track on Machine Gun Kelly's appropriately-named Rage Pack Mixtape, is a compelling song about following your dreams and disregarding what society will do to hold you back. It samples Adele's song of the same name for the intro and hooks, with an altered pitch that makes it unrecognisably Adele!
The feel of the song, in terms of mood and consciousness is similar to another song on the mixtape, The Pledge.
Upon evaluating the song, you will find that it's message is very similar to a certain Banksy artwork.
