LUTHERSTADT-WITTENBERG, Germany — The leader of the Fourth Reich is in trouble with the law. Again.
Meet Peter Fitzek, the 48-year-old self-proclaimed monarch of the so-called Königsreich Deutschland, or kingdom of Germany.
Dressed in tight-fitting black pants and a black fitted shirt with the Königsreich coat of arms on its breast pocket, with his shoulder-length hair combed straight back in a pony tail, Fitzek looks more like a nightclub impresario than polo-playing royalty.
He has no hereditary claim to royalty and little hope of getting his kingdom to secede from the federal republic.
But with his own currency, "state-run" health care scheme, some 3,500 subjects and even a driving license issued by the Königsreich, he's become a notorious nuisance for the authorities.
That's just the way he likes it.
More hippie than Nazi, Fitzek's ideology is hard to pin down.
He chose to use "reich" not out of any enthusiasm for Fascism, he says, but to inspire Germans to question why they can never be allowed to forget the past.
His kingdom — a 22 acre plot where his purported 3,500 subjects reside rent-free — in the former East Germany is more like a commune.
"I've purposefully driven over the speed limit — radically over the speed limit — so someone will finally take me to court," he says.
"The court must decide whether I have this authority or not."
Fitzek has been nabbed for moving violations as many as 24 times and written up for driving without a license eight times before a judge in Lower Saxony sentenced him to three months in prison in October.
"You have built a fantasy world with a fanciful political worldview," Judge Thorsten Steufert told the self-proclaimed monarch.
Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has ruled that his Reichsbank and health fund violate the law and repeatedly ordered him to repay all depositors.
"BaFin has prohibited Peter Fitzek several activities in insurance business as well as his unauthorized banking business," BaFin spokesman Ben Fischer said in an email.
It would also be very surprising if the king avoids a run in with the Federal Central Tax Office, given his attitude toward that institution.
"I don't pay taxes just like I don't pay speeding tickets," he says.
Fitzek has vowed to fight his legal cases all the way to the Supreme Court in a bid to force the nation to recognize his sovereignty.
Although he may be just having a lark, he says he's starting an alternative to the financial system that plunged Europe into its ongoing economic crisis.
"Collapses of the monetary system have always been accompanied by conflict," he says. "Then they start building the same system all over again."
"It's important there be an alternative."
Citing Germany's Basic Law and the 1933 Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, Fitzek carved out a territory outside the medieval city of Wittenberg and declared it a sovereign state last year.
Previously, the commune operated under the name "Neudeutschland," or "New Germany."
The king argues that under Montevideo, the only requirements for his claim are a permanent population, a defined territory, a government and the capacity to enter into relations with the other states. But he's gone further than that.
Working with a company Fitzek says also supplies paper to the mint, the Königsreich launched its own currency, the "Engel," or Angel, complete with invisible fluorescent markings that appear only under a black light. On the downside, it's not freely convertible to euros and can be used only for goods and services sold by other Königsreich subjects.
More recently, the kingdom launched inflation-proof silver coins named Neue Deutsch Marks.
"How many wish for the good old Deutschmark back?" reads an announcement on the kingdom's website.
In September, Fitzek launched the Königsliche Reichbank, a central bank that also offers free customer accounts. Promising refuge from a possible collapse of the euro and investment returns of 2 to 9 percent, it's purportedly "safer than any other bank" because it's not required to conform to any European Union or German law.
But its claim to legal status — to which German regulators continue to object — depends on a clause that says it's not obligated to give depositors' money back when they want it.
Fitzek says a similar clause means the kingdom's alternative health scheme, which was launched in 2009 and took in more than $40,000 per month in premiums in 2012, is also immune to regulatory interference from BaFin.
Called the Health Checkout, it's a "holistic alternative to the health insurance system" that doesn't actually guarantee its members the right to any benefits.
It does offer seminars on healthy lifestyles to help members beat ailments that are "90 percent psychosomatic."
"The authorities don't appreciate that we've been able to heal a lot of people," Fitzek says. "We haven't had a single incident of cancer since the health system was set up among more than 200 members."
Whether Fitzek is a visionary, fantasist or conman, it's hard not to enjoy the show.
In the tomb-silent lobby of the Reichsbank — an ordinary-looking bank branch on one of Wittenberg's cobblestone streets — the fast-talking Fitzek reels off his grievances with the authorities.
Citing legal cases he claims to have memorized with the aid of a photographic memory, he says Hitler's Third Reich was never officially dissolved after World War II. Therefore, Germany has no constitution and no legitimate authority over its citizens.
At least two post-war elections have violated the government's own regulations, he says.
"This indicates it's only criminals who are in power, and they are not obeying their own laws," Fitzek says.
Born in the former East Germany before the fall of the Iron Curtain, he belongs to the "lost" generation of Germans whose upbringing in the communist east left them ill-prepared for life after reunification.
Many of his peers never adjusted. A 2010 poll conducted by Stern magazine, for instance, found that two-thirds of Germans from the former East felt they were still isolated from the "unified" country.
More than two decades after the Berlin Wall came down, unemployment remains about a third higher in the east than in the west despite a mass exodus following reunification.
Fitzek, who wanted to be a teacher, never got the education he wanted. Trained as a cook, he worked in various restaurants and hotels before opening a video store then a bar — without finding a way to fit in.
With the Königsreich, he's finally found an answer of sorts. As long as he has the energy to keep all the balls he's juggling in the air, apparently so have his followers.

Interview With: A Teenager Who Became The Pride of A Nation
Rabiatual Adawiyah Binte Yusak
23, Personal Trainer
As a Silat martial art fighter, Rabiatul Adawiyah Binte Yusak (nicknamed "Bit") has made impressive sporting achievements – on a national and international level. In 2008, then 19 year-old Bit competed in Penggal Putri Silat Championships International Women's Open held in Singapore. She won the gold medal. The following year, in the Laos SEA Games 2009 and Asian Games, she also brought home the gold medal – which cemented her as a national sporting pride. Bit is ranked 4th as Best International Silat Exponent. The surprising fact is it was only two years from the time she started training in Silat that she got her first, of many, gold medals. This is one girl you do not want to mess with.
How did you get involved in Silat?
By chance! When I was 17, I came across a banner promoting a Silat club that is managed by the residents' committee in Woodlands. And I signed up. For the next five years, I trained and competed before retiring in 2010.
What was it like to train for an international championship like the SEA Games?
Initially, it was stressful. I wanted to prove to myself in the sport. Also, there was the added pressure of wanting to bring glory to my country. Over time, I enjoyed the thrill from the anticipation of preparing for competitions. It saw it as a chance to improve my skills.
What drove you to win?
The hunger to prove, to myself, that I was capable of winning.
What would you say was your greatest training obstacle? And how did you overcome it?
Fasting months proved to be challenging, for training and competitions. It took some time before I learned to balance between pushing myself harder, and managing the challenges that come with fasting.
How is life like nowadays post-championship?
Today, I am a personal trainer at Celebrity Fitness Singapore. Though I have retired from competitive sport, I maintain the ethos of keeping fit regularly for my own health; and for the benefit of clients who do their Personal Training sessions with me.
What is your advice for people who want to lose weight and keep in shape?
Feed your muscles, not your tummy. Regular exercise and healthy nutrition go hand-in-hand. Whatever you eat during post-training, it is intended to aid muscle recovery. So, input equals output. To achieve the right type of body and fitness goals, you are what you eat. And everything in moderation.
What is your personal exercise regime like?
I am in the gym six days a week. Everyday, I target a different body part and muscle group. I make use of free weights because it gives me greater control over my range of motion, resulting in a more dynamic workout. My cardiovascular workouts consist of self-designed circuit training exercises. When possible, I participate in Celebrity Fitness's signature dance fitness program 'Dance N' Attitude', more popularly known as DNA.
I also do ViPR and TRX functional training. ViPR (pronounced 'viper') uses rubber tubes of varying weights that allow for toning and conditioning in a full body workout; and TRX is a form of suspension training that uses one's own body weight to deliver a full-body resistance workout.
Each workout normally lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. I try to work out with a buddy, and refrain from training in larger groups because there is a tendency to lose focus.
What is your diet like?
I consume a lot of lean protein like chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs and protein shakes. For breakfast, I have a bowl of cereal, oats or granola with skimmed milk, and three hard-boiled eggs. I only take the egg whites though! Lunch is a portion of rice with a side dish. This is usually fish or red meat. About an hour before work-out, I have a banana. 45 minutes after work-out, I have five hard-boiled eggs or a protein shake. Dinner consist of a flank steak, or roasted chicken breast, with oregano or black pepper seasoning.
What do you do on your days off from the gym?
Cycle in the park or swim. To keep myself happy, I also have 'cheat' days when I indulge in a cupcake, a handful of jelly beans, or an ice-cream.
Who inspires you?
Beyonce Knowles. She worked her way to the top to become one of most prominent artistes with her own clothing and fragrance line. She is a successful entrepreneur with a wholesome family image. And no controversies. While I may not exactly aspire to be a performer, I identify with her work ethics of staying focused; and determined to achieve your dreams regardless of whatever obstacles that come your way.
In what ways do you practise eco-conscious living?
I try to do little things like using the air-conditioner less frequently at home, turning off the tap while brushing my teeth, running a full load of laundry instead of half or smaller loads, and switching off electrical appliances at the power source, instead of leaving them on standby.
If you could do your part in saving the planet, in just ONE way in your everyday life – what would you do or what would you change?
I would like to get more people to be involved in preventing animal abuse. It pains me greatly to read about abandoned and abused pets, especially when we are supposed to be taking care of them.
Thanks Bit ♥

As others have commented, this isn't a female only issue. There are a few beaches and designated areas I've been, and at best they're creepy. Guys wandering around aimlessly. It makes you feel very uncomfortable.
By contrast I was at Myrtle Bay just out of Batemans with my wife and kids, and we must have struck it lucky. There was a very friendly elderly couple who stopped to chat with us. Thank goodness. My wife's impression of the nudist scene is that it's entirely populated by perverts. Based on what I've seen over the last five years, her opinion isn't too far wrong. There are obvious exceptions. River Island has always been pleasent if not somewhat deserted on the occasions I've gone there.
It's very disappointing that this is the reality of the situation.

When I visit the beach with a companion , If someone bothers us like you suggest I simply get up with the phone , take a picture and then tell the offender that the police will have the photo and place where he is in 5 minutes. They don't stay long after that . I also keep the photo in case I find them doing the same again. Be careful though as one guy tried to take my phone away. He didn't have much luck but the police have his photo anyway. There are signs at the beaches for this very problem.

It's not just women that feel like they are being perved on at a beach! I'm a heterosexual male and its annoying when I'm approached by men who are obviously gay that want to "hang out and chat". I'm obviously not against gays, each to their own, but I just want some time in the sun with a swim without having to wear anything. Whenever I go to clothing optional beaches with friends we usually just find a quiet spot somewhere, and I end up avoiding other people so as not to give anyone else the wrong idea - either gender. That is the difference between a nudist and a pervert. A true nudist/naturist wants to be clothes free regardless if other people are nude or not, not to see other people naked.
Sad to hear this happens...hopefully it is isolated cases and not all of Australia.
I am from Eurpope, and it is totally different there,
people are respectful at Naturist events like swims, and beaches, especially France and UK
Yes it happens all the time and gives us nature loving nudist a bad name so resorts are the only answer or very isolated beaches
see all the time it makes me sick but worst of all people put me in same catagory as im a single guy and go to the beach on my own tend to stay away a bit now and live like a hermit at home and naked
very tue.Have on occasions seen guys from couples telling perverts in not very polite terms to move along as their behaviour is simply not acceptable.It makes it difficult and uncomfortable for everyone.A little common courtesy is not that difficult and it cost nothing!
What a great subject...'Woman at the beach..Its a real shame that we cannot go to Maslins by our selves...Have been a number of times with a good male friend, but he can't always go...have been wanting to go by myself, but feel it is not worth it, when I see guys walking the same areas over and over again where there are woman..Guys...show some manners and just leave us alone, You are your own worst enemy...scaring off the women, the first nudist beach in Australia will be known as the all "MALE" beach..Good one guys....
I went to a beach after reading the comments here and couldn't believe what happened.
This was a public beach so everyone had togs on.
When I arrived there were 3 young females on the beach so I set up at one end.
Two of the females left and then an older woman arrived and went for a swim which is a challenge at low tide.
After her swim she lay down and read a book in the middle of the beach.
Two guys arrived. One of the guys started walking along the beach, paused then went for a swim. He swam two full lengths of the beach which is unusual. His friend went in for a swim and the first guy got out of the water.
Instead of returning to his spot he lay down next to the woman reading and chatted to her for a few minutes.
He left her and walked up the beach and was looking out to sea like somebody had taken his boat. He had sand all over his wet skin and shorts. He then walked from the water's edge to about two metres from the feet of the other female lying on the beach and lay down facing her. He commenced talking to her.
By now i was wondering if I was next on the "hit list" if he struck out with the women.
I couldn't believe how brazen he was. And how ridiculous he looked with the sand all over.
So it is not a nude beach thing. It can happen anywhere. It is probably just the nature of the individuals.

Arts & crafts/Mission style bed with a bit of contemporary elements mixed in. I tried to keep it mostly rift/quatersawn but i couldn't afford to buy quatersawn for such a large project right now. So i had pick the best pieces i could get out of the flatsawn stack. I was able to resaw a lot of it to get rift/quater for the slats & i tried to keep the flatsawn pieces to the lesser seen parts. The knock down joinery is dry double M&T with a hidden bed bolt. The inlay is canary wood. I used transfast light brown mahogany dilluted 1:4 from fullstrength. Then i used general finishes brown mahogany gel stain. Finished with 3 coats of wipe on poly & topcoat of wax. The dimensions are for a queen size mattress(80"x60"). If anyone is interested in the sketchup doc just PM me.

Really nice bed, well done. The inlay is nice too, it makes the whole bed a lot more special. What wood did you use for the bed? How did you get the rough look of the wood in the picture with the inlay? Thanks for posting.

Very impressed with the way you attached the side rails. I purchased a bed a few years ago and the side rails were attached using . Can't tell you how many times the posts split, from the pins being pulled away from the posts (insert jokes here). Can only repair something like that so many times.
Very nice work.

The wood is red oak. I think the rough look your referring to is a comination of things. First I didn't use a pore filler leaving a less than mirror flat surface. Second part I think is the perception of depth that is created by using a dye/stain combo. Essentially it looks like that over the entire bed when viewed close up.
I actually bought a set similar to that @ woodcraft. The more I thought about though it seemed like a bad idea to put that much stress on 4 1 1/2" screws. I can't take credit for the hidden bolts. That idea came from a fine woodworking article titled anatomy of a bed. I'm unsure of the original issue # as I had it in the best of fine woodworking(building furniture) issued in Oct. 2007. It's written by Jeff miller & is an excellent read for anyone thinking about building a bed.
To everyone else thanks for the kind words. I was also mistaken, the dimensions are for a queen size matteress(80"x60").
Have your say...

Hello everyone,
So I'm over in Belgium having a great racing campaign. The first weekend here I had three races in a row and finished 9th, 11th, and 10th and was feeling fantastic.
During the World Cup on the 26th I ruptured my right achilles tendon necessitating surgery. I hurt myself around 2pm and was in surgery before 6pm! They are quick around here and that was all without asking for an ID or insurance card or anything.
The surgery went well, my tendon had to be sewn back together and I'm in a cast and not allowed to weight the foot for two weeks. I should be able to swim in 3-4 weeks and get on an indoor bike some time after that. In 6-8 weeks I'll be in a walking cast and by 10 weeks will have one seriously atrophied skinny white little calf to show off.
Because I'm a very positive person I've been able to find the silver lining in this messed up situation........it now officially my off season and I'm in the country that has the best beer in the world. The chocolate, cheese and bread are pretty good too. I'm headed home on the third of January and until then I'm working on my euro crutch (aka gimpsticks) skills and keeping my foot elevated.
I hope everyone has safe and happy holidays and don't worry, I'll be back on the bike soon enough!!!

Rooney Mara, 26, who plays the lead character Lisbeth Salander, walked the red carpet in the bitter cold in a lace creation by Givenchy Couture and matching Brian Attwood heels. She was joined at the premiere by her co-stars Daniel Craig and Stellan Skarsgard.
The film centres around a journalist, Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), who teams up with a young computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, (Rooney Mara) to research a woman who has been missing for 40 years.
The film is a re-make of the Swedish language version of the film ("M n som hatar kvinnor") which was released in 2009. The English adaption is directed by David Fincher, director of "The Social Network".
Rooney Mara described how in her mind, the persecution of Salander's character made her universally relevant.
"I think that everyone can relate to that feeling of being misunderstood or outcast," she said.
"Everyone at some point in their life, you know, can relate to people who are in a position of power abusing that power over them, and I think people really want to see her succeed."
Daniel Craig agreed that adversity brought the lead characters closer, despite their complex dynamic.
"I think they come together in an extreme situation and sometimes when that happens with people they kind of fall in love or they find a way of getting together," he said.
"They're trying to both solve this mystery, they share a lot in common about life, and it's not immediately obvious, but they like each other."
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of three books in Stieg Larsson's "The Millennium Trilogy" which have sold 60 million copies in 46 countries worldwide.
For Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgard, treading in such successful footsteps of the Swedish language version isn't an issue: "It doesn't matter. Any good film is good because it has the personal view of the director that does it, and Fincher has a very strong personal view in everything he does, so I think it will be interesting."
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is released in the UK on December 26.

Ed Ruscha's innovative photobook at OCMA
Every Building on the Sunset Strip copyright 1966 Ed Ruscha
Currently OCMA (Orange County Museum of Art) is exhibiting Pop Art Design and included are a few works by Ed Ruscha, but probably the most photographically interesting is a very long display of Ed Ruscha's 1966 creative photobook Every Building on the Sunset Strip.
This was a deadpan photographic project in which a 35mm motor-drive camera was load with a bulk feed and photographed the adjacent buildings while driving up and then back down Sunset Blvd, which was commonly called the Sunset Strip. The resulting photobook then takes advantage of the street name's pun by creating a long continuous strip of images. On the top of the page is one side of the street and below this in reverse is the other side of this street.
This photobook design was very innovative for its time with stiff covers and the interior was bound to display as an accordion (also known as Leporello and Concertinas) layout, which is to say each page was connected and continuous. A very long strip of photographic images. My photographs of this exhibit were a grab shot and do not do it very much justice, thus go check it out and see the real thing!
The OCMA exhibition runs thru April 2nd, 2017.

text: Halter Marine, Inc, a subsidiary of Friede Goldman Halter, has started construction of NOAA's (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) newest vessel the M/V Oscar Dyson. The vessel is scheduled for delivery in 36 months at a price of $38.3 million. It is anticipated that options for additional vessels will be exercised as Congress incrementally appropriates funds. NOAA may build up to three additional Fishing Research Vessels (RFV) under the terms of the contract, pushing its value to more than $165 million. The M/V "Oscar Dyson" is a state-of-the-art Fishing Research Vessel named in honor of Oscar Dyson, of Kodiak, Alaska Dyson, a well-known fishing activist served as an industry advisor to government officials, including a congressional delegation. Born in 1913 in Rhode Island, Dyson relocated to Alaska in 1940 following World War II where he worked as a commercial salmon and halibut fisherman. He pioneered the expansion of the commercial fishery of crab, shrimp, and pollock. He was a founding partner of Kodiak-based All Alaskan Seafoods (later sold to Tyson Seafoods), which became the first group of fishermen to own both the vessels and the canneries. He was a founding member of the Kodiak Shrimp Trawlers Association, which later became the Alaska Draggers Association. The vessel will be homeported in Kodiak, Alaska as part of the NOAA fleet. The Office of Marine and Aviation Operations will operate the vessel, with a crew composed of civilians and officers of the NOAA Commissioned Corps -- the smallest of the nation's seven uniformed services. The completed vessel will be 208.6 ft. (63.6 m) in length, with a beam of 49.2 ft. (15 m) and a draft with the centerboard in an up position of 19.3 ft (5.9 m).

The Coolest Clock Is the Greatest Improvement in Telling Time Since the Sundial
The Coolest Clock isn't just a clock. It's a smart appliance you hang on the wall. It projects the time on the wall beneath it, and you can customize the background image to any number of beautiful and useful designs. You can use a smartphone app to display lots of information like the weather, a social media stream, breaking news or sports scores. It will even display the real-time location of your smartphone on a map to let everyone know when you'll be home. It's being funded on Indiegogo right now, and it's expected to be ready for December of 2015.

"Make something and build it up, then move on to something new"
James Lavelle
One of the greatest things about having a boyfriend is obviously wearing their clothes! The second best thing about having a boyfriend is having one who works in the music industry and well versed in fashion/ brand collaborations and then getting hold of their goods before they've even worn it...like this Nike x Mo'Wax Collection MA1 Destroyer
Last Sunday, my man and I took to the streets of Stoke Newington (our home town) to shoot a little impromptu collection of urban images for my blog. I'm guessing he's a fan of the ChloePierre.com blog...just like you!
Here's a quick briefing on the Nike x Mo'Wax Collection for those who don't know... Nike x Mo'Wax by James Lavelle is an exclusively designed capsule collection, of restyled and iconic silhouettes from the legendary sportswear brand alongside DJ, recording artist and producer, Lavelle who founded the London-based record label 'Mo'Wax' in 1992. The collection has a gritty and rebellious approach, along with it's "Build and Destroy" vision which I was inspired to recreate in the images for the blog. I love this jacket!

I recently moved back here from Milwaukee, and I really miss the Coney Islands I used to get at "The Coney Island" at 6th and National on Milwaukee's South Side. The old Coney Island in downtown St Paul is closed for renovations, and I understand it has been for about 14 years. There used to be a great Coney Island joint on Rice Street a few blocks North of University Ave, across the street from the sausage place (great beef jerky), but now both places are gone.
I heard that the Gopher Bar on West 7th had great coneys, so I tried it out today for lunch. Forget it. The coney sauce is too thick and has little flavor. The gin & tonic left a bad taste. The place should be avoided.
Any good Coney Islands in the Twin Cities?

Ratings for Dr. Tina M. Gingrich
I cannot believe Dr Gengrich has any patients with all the negative. Heads up to women. Do not have your pap done right after your period. There will very likely be abnormal cells present because your period sheds these older cells. But Dr Gengrich will not say to have another pap done she will want to do a biopsy (more money for her) . The pain is excruciating (i think she purposely made it more so because i questioned her and wasnt happy about waiting over an hour on the table covered with paper with no apologies from her.) Do yourself a favor, schedule your pap about 2 weeks after your period so you dont go through what i did. Again i cant believe this dr even has any patients.
I feel as though I may be naive in what I expect from the doctor who is supposed to help me through a pregnancy. My first appointment after I found out I was pregnant was uneventful, the wait was average, and the service was also average. When I went in for my first ultrasound I was told that my baby which should have been measuring at 8-9 weeks but was only measuring 5. I was basically told everything is probably fine and I should just schedule another appointment in a week. A few days later I was miscarriage at work, it was New Year's Eve and I had no idea what was happening to my baby/my body. I had to "page" the on call doctor that happened to be Dr. Gingrich and she said it could be fine (she seemed unmoved by the pain and heavy bleeding I was going through). I was then told no hospital would do anything for me because it was a holiday weekend and I should make an appointment with her after the holiday weekend! The next day I was having contraction like pains and I knew exactly what was happening so I called once again to see if I should go to the hospital, she said my body was made to handle this on its own and to just deal with it. The nose painful 48 hours of my life then happened while I was scared and unsure of what was happening. At my follow up appointment I had to wait two hours for dr. Gingrich to come and talk to me and then send me into get another ultrasound where I was told "well looks like you've disposed of everything" I was in tears at this point. I was then told by the dr. that I did all of the hard work myself as if I had some sort of choice in the matter. She then sent me to get my blood test to test to see if I had a negative blood type because apparently that could affect my next pregnancy. Fast forward three days a total of 7 days after my miscarriage I got a phone call saying I had to go to the hospital immediately to get a shot which I should have got 24 hours after my miscarriage. I will never go back here, I would never recommend this office, and I truly pray for anyone else who has had an experience like mine.
I've been a patient here for over 10 years and really love all of the staff. During my time with them, I have had two pregnancies and births. Tammy delivered my second daughter and Dr. Gingrich delivered my third. The wait time is usually reasonable and sometimes quicker than anticipated. On a rare occasion, there are longer waits due to the Dr. delivering a baby but you have to expect that this could happen. The staff is always good about keeping me informed of wait times if they are running behind so I can make the decision to wait or reschedule. Billing personnel has been very helpful. Overall, my great experiences outweigh any negative.
I had my first on appointment with Dr. Gingrich's midwife Casey. As I walked in the office, the receptionist were busy chatting with a food delivery person. I locked eyes with one of them and she told me to sign in. I did, my husband and I took our seats to wait. An hour and a half later, after seeing everyone who had came after me get their paperwork. I went up to the from desk to ask if I was going to have to give a urine sample during my appointment, because I really had to go. She looked shocked, I told her I had signed in an hour and a half ago. She dug the sign in sheet out of trash and found my name- crossed off and highlighted with the rest of the "seen" patients. They got me right back and I urinated in a paper cup -which I had to write my name on with a sharpie. Which seems unprofessional to me. I slipped it in a hole in the wall, with 5 other nasty cups. Then I went in to see Casey, the midwife. She didn't listen to a word I said, I told her I was taking progesterone suppositories prescribed by my RE. She ignored that information and told me I needed a PAP. I always use Lynn for those appointments. If they would have let me know that ahead of time- I would've made a appointment with her. Not someone I'm meeting for the first time. She told me I had to have it done. Then as she is finishing the vaginal part she says she thinks I have a yeast infection. I told her no I don't I told you I am taking Endometrin suppositories. She said I can't do the Pap because the results will be effected by the medicine. I already told her that, before! So, then she said I'll have to come in and do it all over again. Not happening. If that's how my first Ob appointment went- I don't think I can put my trust in them to deliver my babies. Professionalism is everything to me. Mean while out in the waiting room my husband watched as 5 couples scheduled to see Dr. Gingrich got up and left. Finally, he said the receptionist stuck her head out into the waiting room and told the remaining people, the would gave a further 1-2 hour wait because she was delivering. However, they'd already waited 2 hours with no notice. Needless to say, I'm out of there- they're are too many doctors out in out community to give my money to ones causing me stress.
I recently began going to Maryville Women's Center. I am very pleased with service I have received so far. The staff is friendly. I am notified of my test results via the patient portal usually within 48 hours. I have seen the PA and the Dr. and they have both been excellent.
I'm 17. Obviously scared out of my mind about going to the gynecologist in general. I have to wait forever here to get put in a room, then wait for some Joe shmo to see me. On my webmd it said I had ovarian cysts after an ultrasound. No follow up appointment was made, no phone call was made to notify me of these cysts, nothing happened at all. Horrible communication. And for anyone who calls the practice, good luck even talking to a normal person. This small town OBGYN is too busy for u to talk to them. They don't keep track of when they should resend u birth control. When they started me on birth control they gave me a 3 month tester pack (which they never told me they were testers) and then made it absolutely impossible to get any more. They will sell u birth control everytime u walk in here. Ratings say it all
I feel it is important to share what my experience was with this provider so that other patients looking for an OB/GYN can make a well-informed decision. I began going to this practice years ago and usually saw Lynne, the PA. I absolutely loved her and was very happy going there for my routine GYN exams. When I got pregnant, however, it was a completely different story, and I am no longer seeing this provider. I ended up having a missed miscarriage with twins several months ago, and it was an absolutely terrible experience. The staff was very rude and unprofessional, referring to my twins that had died 4 days earlier as "products of conception". When I called the office crying and asking if there was any way I could have another ultrasound or some blood work done to confirm that it was truly a miscarriage, they responded that "we don't normally do that" and told me "miscarriages just happen, they're more common than you think". I eventually decided to have a D&C because I just wanted the nightmare to be over with. Dr. Gingrich was an hour late for the procedure, and didn't even come and check on me afterwards. At my follow up appointment, I waited an hour and forty-five minutes for Dr. Gingrich. I normally don't mind waiting for a doctor if a staff member has the courtesy to give me a heads up that they are running behind, etc., but no one did that. I was just left in the room by myself. It is bad enough to have to return to the OB/GYN after having a D&C, but to wait as long as I did was torture. I felt like they didn't care about me. When Dr. Gingrich finally arrived, she didn't even do an exam. She just asked me if I wanted to go back on birth control. Needless to say I did not stay at this practice. I am now pregnant again and seeing a different doctor located across the street from the Maryville Women's Center, whom I absolutely adore. Overall I found the Maryville Women's Center to be a negative experience and would not recommend this practice.
I was a patient here for many years. I honestly liked the nurse practitioner here, Lynn Billhartz. I think she is wonderful. Dr. Gingrich was technically my doctor but I only saw her a handful of times in the years I went here. The staff is rude, unprofessional and unhelpful. They discuss patients where other patients can hear them. I had issues with billing. One time it would be be billed correctly and covered by my insurance and then next time for the same thing it was billed differently and wouldn't be covered When I explained this to them after talking with my insurance they would not send it back with the correct code. When I had a breast cancer scare and I needed all my past mammograms to take to Barnes with me, I went to them and explained the situation and signed forms for them to be released. However, they would not release my own medical records to me and said they would fax them to Barnes AFTER my former doctor approved it. I told them I needed them so they could compare my past mammograms with new scans and how important it was for them to be there. This was two weeks before my appointment at Barnes. None of my medical records or scans were ever sent over. When I called them to see why not, they were rude and then hung up on me since it isn't their problem since I am no longer a patient there. I now go to Dr. Midkiff, which is right across the road from Maryville Women's Center and I have had nothing but great service. The staff is kind and courteous and they had no problem sending me to St.Louis for another opinion with a specialist.
Been seeing Gingrich for a few years now, today was put in a different room, sorta like a storage for vaginal ultrasound, the door was opened by a nurse while I was in there in a waist gown, then Gingrich walks in and leaves door wide open and had no clue I was in there!! I was furious , she did give a cold apology and then replied, they are trying to make the place better and accidents happen. But the finale for me was when another girl was in room actually doing my ultrasound and Gingrich opened the door to leave while my feet were in the air and private out in open! The other girl stood in front of me and pulled my gown to cover me! I use to like the place but for about 2 years now I have hated every single visit! They are cold people, the midwife likes to be a show off , and I have been in that place for 3 hours before! It's not uncommon to wit an hour, get put in a room and wait another, on the bed with no pants! I have already been accepted at another practice, and my appointment was only 3 hours ago. That is how bad I want to get away from there! My husband has already looked into filing an ethical complaint.

President Obama's Afghanistan Speech: Incoherence Wrapped In A ConundrumWednesday, December 2nd, 2009
A couple thoughts:
The New York Times got it right: It was two speeches.
The first, to appease the Left included tasty tidbits:
No torture, Gitmo, successful conclusion, pull-out.
The second, to placate anyone who loves freedom and protecting the innocent:
Troop increase, generals, brave, Iraq.
The speech inspired vitriol from the left because their take-home message was:
The speech irritated the right because their take-home message was:
This will be over in 18 months no matter the mess it leaves.
Often, presidents are criticized for taking the center way and that making people unhappy is the natural course of politics. President Obama certainly looked like he knew this speech would be ill-received by all who heard it–except for the uncomfortable pauses before ovation lines. (Some didn't happen at all.) But his speech didn't articulate a center way. It articulate a nebulous way.
The speech was an ideological mess. It wasn't even pragmatic. It was a political swing. This way will make these people feel better. Whoosh! This way will make these people feel better. Whoosh! Except, no one feels better and many feel frustrated.
Steve Schippert in the Washington Times says:
The prescribed influx of much-needed American warriors onto the battlefield is clearly and rightly the good. And the good can withstand the bad, a Taliban enemy in the absence of reliable partners in the Afghan and Pakistani governments.
But the glimmering light of the good will surely be eclipsed by the ugly, an incoherence of strategy beneath the surface sheen of a surge. The devil is always in the details.
Sending additional troops, whether decided upon from intellectual deliberation or from political calculation, is the right call. The details of their usage, the never-ending questions of "exit strategy" and the general unwillingness to commit to victory is wholly unacceptable.
As the commander in chief, the president must act with a clarity of mind and mission. In doing so, he sends a message that the American people will do what is necessary, for as long as necessary, to defeat those who would oppress others or hide while plotting additional attacks on innocents in Afghanistan, Pakistan or here in the United States. The necessity in doing so should be clear, as the Afghan people are resistant to American aid due to the questionable commitment we've made to them. In this vital aspect, the commander in chief has failed.
The Left likes to imagine the President's inexact language and circumlocution as some form of rarefied, nuanced language. He's intelligent. He doesn't speak in absolutes. He uses big words like "successful conclusion" [whatever that means] rather than victory [self-evident: we win, you lose].
The problem is that words communicate intent. And in this case, the intent is muddied. One can't help but leave the speech thinking that President Obama is putting troops in Afghanistan as a short term stop gap until something becomes politically obvious–public will turns entirely against the war effort, for example.
Will the Left denounce President Obama and start marching in the streets? We'll see how righteous they really are. Do they believe the President when he says that in 18 months, this is over? This speech, ultimately, seemed like President Obama buying time–for himself.
Why Would Americans Be For An Afghan Surge?Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Americans poll positive on surging in Afghanistan. Why would that be? Because most Americans have dealt with moles, ant-hills, head lice, or some other kind of nasty infestation. The bugs die when they are 1. exterminated and 2. the environment is cleaned up.
Libs hate George W. Bush for his warmongering ways. They're giving Barack Obama a hypocritical pass. But Bush knew that this two pronged approach is necessary to rid of pests…especially murderous pests. Killing them works, but making the environment clean so that bugs don't grow is important for prevention.
Americans have stayed amazingly consistent: Kill the bugs. Clean the house. This is just common sense.

Surprise! New York Time's Kidnapped Journalist A Moron Who Cost A Soldier And Friend Their Lives–UPDATEDThursday, September 10th, 2009
The paper of record will probably not report the flaming ignorance of their own reporter, Stephen Farrell, but the British press is less inclined to cover for him. Remember the NYT reporter who got abducted and subsequently rescued? Remember how good the NYT was with keeping that secret, you know a secret that mattered when lives were at stake?
A soldier lost his life to save this, what's the Van Jones word?, that's right, a**hole. Here's what happened:
Afghan police and intelligence officers repeatedly warned journalists including Mr Farrell that it was too dangerous to go to the site. Kunduz is a notorious Taliban northern stronghold and was one of the last holdouts of the regime when it was toppled in 2001.
While Mr Farrell, who was kidnapped in iraq five years ago, and Mr Munadi were interviewing Afghans near the site of the bombing an elderly man warned them to leave as the Taliban were on their way.
But they stayed and shortly afterwards gunshots rang out and they were taken into captivity. Mr Munadi was working as a freelance during a break from his university studies in Germany.
The dramatic rescue operation came in the early hours of Wednesday when a troop of Special Boat Service commandos supported by a company from the Special Forces Support Group left an American base in US helicopters. But the young British soldier died in the battle to the distress of his commanders.
One senior Army source said: "When you look at the number of warnings this person had it makes you really wonder whether he was worth rescuing, whether it was worth the cost of a soldier's life. In the future special forces might think twice in a similar situation."
Another military source said: "This reporter went to this area against the advice of the Afghan police. So thanks very much Stephen Farrell, your irresponsible act has led to the death of one of our boys."
Was his life saving? No. He knew the risks in his job. No doubt, his friends and family members are relieved to have him back in one piece. But there are other people, a British soldier, his interpreter, a woman and a child now dead because he ignored the advice of those who knew better.
And the New York Times? The paper couldn't be bother with Van Jones or John Edwards, or, most of all, their own idiot reporter.
The reporter a Brit, tells his story. He concludes:
It was over. Sultan was dead. He had died trying to help me, right up to the very last seconds of his life.
There were some celebrations among the mainly British soldiers on the aircraft home, which soon fell silent. It later emerged that one of the rescue party was also dead, mortally wounded during the raid. His blood-soaked helmet was in front of me throughout the flight. I thanked everyone who was still alive to thank. It wasn't, and never will be, enough.
The soldier's name. What is his name? At this point, the reporter's "ordeal" means little. The man who died for him does.
If NYT … WSJ, CNN, Fox, assorted freelancers, the lot of them … stopped taking risks, we would have very little information about what happens in bad places. I don't believe that most of them do it lightly, though I've known a few who do it irresponsibly and have been lucky they didn't end up in this situation. A lot of them now have considerable time incountry, experience with these issues, and receive professional training and advice. A lot of them have also died, been injured, or spent time in captivity. It often comes down to judgment calls about what level of risk to take. Here's an easy call to make in the aftermath: It looks like Farrell made a bad one. Harder to say about the military, which also had the option of standing off and exercised its own judgment in the moment.
I guess what makes me so angry is the way the newspapers so easily trash the very same who would save their sorry hides. The military is treated with contempt by the Western media. As a citizen (recognizing that all parties involved were British), I don't feel inclined using vast resources and potentially putting solider in harms way for a risk-taking fool who works for an organization working in opposition to their own country's interests.
The newspapers have no trouble putting soldiers in harms way with irresponsible reporting–remember the flushed Koran? How many false stories have put American and allied soldiers at risk? And now, a soldier's family must live with the idea that their son, brother, father died for an agent who often indirectly colluded with the enemy.
I'm upset at the gross injustice in this. Over at Jawa, the reporter is described as a "self-indulgent asshole". That's being kind.
American Hostage–UPDATED Is he a deserter?Monday, July 20th, 2009
That this has happened is so distressing, I can hardly think about it let alone write about it.
War is hell and all that, but the thought of one of our service men at the mercy of these barbarians makes me sick. I hope we obliterate the bastards holding him.
Is this soldier a deserter? That changes everything. If so, let him rot.
Michelle Malkin has the whole story.
Yearning For AfghanistanThursday, July 17th, 2008
Oops! This was an Afghani soldier:
Iraq must be doing better because even the AP indirectly acknowledges it:
Spc. Grover Gebhart has spent nine months at a small post on a Sunni-Shiite fault line in western Baghdad. But the 21-year-old soldier on his first tour in Iraq feels he's missing the real war — in Afghanistan, where his brother is fighting the Taliban.
Military officials say violence in Iraq is at its lowest point in the past four years.
With violence in Iraq at its lowest level in four years and the war in Afghanistan at a peak, the soldiers serving at patrol station Maverick say Gebhart's view is increasingly common, especially among younger soldiers looking to prove themselves in battle.
"I've heard it a lot since I got here," said 2nd Lt. Karl Kuechenmeister, a 2007 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point who arrived in Iraq about a week ago.
The reporter goes on to report that only the newbies want to go back, but since anecdotes are news, I have some of my own. I corresponded via email from a soldier yesterday who was talking about serving again after taking a break after serving in Iraq. He wants to go to Afghanistan now:
And yeah, I am going back because it is getting worse. I want to do what I can to help the country. When I saw the glee in the little girls eyes when they got comic books and crayons etc after years of being refused such things, I just needed to help anyway I could.
A seasoned soldier (and if I can get his permission, I'll use his name since he blogs, too) wants to go back and fight to help people in a 3rd world country have what we have in America. It is absolutely humbling to know that thousands of American men and women are actively choosing to serve not just America's interests, but those of the less fortunate in the world fighting for freedom. Amazing.

Co-founder of foods diagnostics business Sample6, Robert Koeris stopped by to talk to pupils for the next episode of our loudspeaker series. Formerly bio-tech reporter Timmerman was located by us. Luke is a tall number in blogging that is bio-tech, writing for Xconomy Forbes, now his enterprise Timmerman Statement. Take a look at our coverage here in the event you lost it! To obtain info on forthcoming events, register for our email list list!
At Sample6, Paul as well as the group (like MIT Prof Bernard Lu) devised a system for rapid diagnosis of microbial pathogens – Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli – in foods. The technologies utilizes infecting the goal microorganisms using a virus (called bacteriophage) which causes it to produce light: if including the herpes virus to the the meals causes it to shine, it is infected with all the germs.
Through the lense of his encounter with Sample6, pupils were counseled by Paul on all areas of the business process. Our factors that were favorite replicated here.
You can not rotate eternally, although pivoting is a primary part of of start-up lifestyle
As with several start-ups, Sample6 did not begin as in foods diagnostics, or was it actually called Sample6. Paul clarified that as graduate students, Bernard and he initially born the idea to make use of the exact same bacteriophages as a curative against microbial infection. The notion won lots of business-plan contests however they immediately discovered that regulating challenge to offer individuals a (microbial) virus as a healing was not worth the investment. At that moment, prescription organizations that are big also weren't bore in anti-microbials, and traders were concerned by the the reduced chance of leaving through purchase.
Trying to find distinct chances to make use of their bacteriophage engineering, Paul and Ricky brainstormed fresh uses of the engineering, rating the advantages and problems of each and every thought when it comes to regulatory, competitive systems, and odds of usage (customer-base?) After extensive investigation, they resolved on a program that was new: interrupting bio films. Microorganisms develop in to sticky matrix that split commercial gear and may block plumbing techniques. As an alternative to utilizing the bacteriophages germs that block piping in oil areas could be rather killed by them. Finally they could not persuade any oil areas to consider the danger of executing the technologies for fear of stifling procedures, although the thought got the business back-off the floor, also guaranteeing an expense Chevron.
The group faced a choice that was tough. That they had developed guaranteed financing and the technologies, was it right back to the board that is drawing another period? The group as well as Paul returned having a fresh thought: foods diagnostics for their panel of advisers. The group understood it was their last chance, as Paul informed us, "you can not rotate eternally, then you are only burning cash and you are dead."
How simple can it be made by you?
Three concepts were come from by your choice to change to foods diagnostics:
Reduced to no hurdle that is regulatory
Theoretically well comprehended merchandise
Commodity which is "iPhone great": therefore wonderful that you will spend any sum for it
The group invested 6 months extremely studying where the technologies may be used, creating a a huge spreadsheet with prospective worth, time, regulating challenges, marketplace problem, and specialized risk.
An foods diagnostics firm may likely reach a value that is reduced than gasoline and petroleum, a bad stage on traders, but it had been the simplest way to to success. Ordinance is not maximal, as well as the goal microorganisms are theoretically well comprehended. Equally are tough marketplaces, although Paul pressured that in bio-tech, we believe a great deal about commercial nutrients of medical therapeutics. The road to was being made by the key to success as simple as you possibly can.
Get from the discuss and laboratory folks
The main guidance to pupils of Mike was to escape the laboratory and speak to folks. As graduate students, it is an easy task to fall to the trap of continuous version on engineering, never really believing "prepared" to keep in touch with potential clients. To the contrary, Paul pressured that we have to be speaking with our prospective user-base when possible.
In between pivoting in the biofilm disruption to meals diagnostics, Paul believed the group invested ">>200 hrs conversing with prospective customers, beginning using the Legal Seafoods restaurant across the street from their workplace. If we should make an effect in the practice, Paul insisted it is critical that people invest time in hospitals speaking to individuals and primary-care doctors.
Do not stop at merely an instrument
The thought for Sample6 – and its own forerunners – was only an architectural device that is bacteriophage. Paul mentioned they might have quit there, licensing the architectural system to customers to come up with their particular programs. The scheme of Mike was to not function as the most distant to the client that pays the most cash on a per-unit basis.
Businesses are built by move!
Paul stated that we are the types that cares the most about our personal the study. If we believe other people may commercialize the research may really immobilized in the laboratory. The possibility of the thoughts that were phage was constantly in the trunk of his head, although Paul initially pursued a career at Leading Projects. Sooner or later, he needed to offer regular to a go, or otherwise he felt as in the event the technologies he labored so hard to create as a grad pupil could not find the light of day.

text: I've been a lurker in these forums for a couple of weeks since I purchased my cappy. Thank you everyone for your insight, suggestions, work-arounds, etc. I too experienced major problems with GPS navigation, lock-ons, etc. I tried every work-around listed in these forums and though most of them work, they only work temporarily! I have a work-around that works for me every time. When I fire up Navigation, my cappy refuses to lock on (like many others), or when it does, it fails shortly after. Keeping the navigation running, I hit the home key, go back to dialer, type *#*#1472365#*#* then click the "Get Position Test. Within 10 seconds, I'm locked onto 10-11 sats, then switch back to Navigation and my GPS is now locked on and works perfectly for the duration of the cross-country trip. It appears to me that firing up lbsTestMode creates the necessary "link" data for the other GPS software programs to function properly. This work-around has worked 100% for me on my last 10 car trips. Can everyone else try this to see if it works for them?

A Little Bible Art
I realize that many have differing views on writing in Bibles, let alone coloring, stamping, drawing, or painting. But it's not a CORE issue. It's not about the Gospel, or about what we believe about God. He is not any less my God because I have a separate Bible that I now draw and stamp and paint in. He is MORE my God because he has created me to be CREATIVE. And if art gets me into His Word more, that's a GOOD thing. It's not taking anything away from my reverence or awe or fear (and I mean that in the God-fearing way) or even my study, it is increasing my time focusing and meditating on what the Word is saying to ME. And being a visual person, it helps me to remember verses and lessons better, just as music based on scripture does.
Anyway, I felt like I needed to preface this post with that. It's certainly a departure from what you usually see here, but I am loving working in my Bible as a journal for artistic thoughts about life and how I fit in.
I told some journaling friends I would post some step photos from a project I completed this morning. So here they are!
Precious Poppies.
I completed each flower with a slightly different mix to see what I might like.
Finally, I added some blues for a background, and then finished off the page with some Glimmermist spray for a little sheen. I had made the matching bookmark several weeks back, and wanted a matching style for the Proverbs page. This is the end of a chapter, so no text was covered by my design.

Beautiful Judy! When you put the gesso on does it bleed through to the front of the page? I've seen a few people doing this with their bibles and have often wondered if both sides of the pages are effected. Love the poppies and your coloring. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for this post. I received a journaling Bible for Christmas and haven't been able to mark in it. I have been reading what I could find and wondering about several things. I would like to stamp and trying to find out if I can emboss before I try it. Yours is just beautiful and really helpful. I hope you continue to show us your pages.

The information content of high-frequency data for estimating equity return models and forecasting risk
We demonstrate that the parameters controlling skewness and kurtosis in popular equity return models estimated at daily frequency can be obtained almost as precisely as if volatility is observable by simply incorporating the strong information content of realized volatility measures extracted from high-frequency data. For this purpose, we introduce asymptotically exact volatility measurement equations in state space form and propose a Bayesian estimation approach. Our highly efficient estimates lead in turn to substantial gains for forecasting various risk measures at horizons ranging from a few days to a few months ahead when taking also into account parameter uncertainty. As a practical rule of thumb, we find that two years of high frequency data often suffice to obtain the same level of precision as twenty years of daily data, thereby making our approach particularly useful in finance applications where only short data samples are available or economically meaningful to use. Moreover, we find that compared to model inference without high-frequency data, our approach largely eliminates underestimation of risk during bad times or overestimation of risk during good times. We assess the attainable improvements in VaR forecast accuracy on simulated data and provide an empirical illustration on stock returns during the financial crisis of 2007-2008.

Officials from the Customs Service, which is leading the investigation, were pressuring students and others believed to be involved in the ring to talk or face prison time.
One such suspect, Christopher Tresco, 23, was working as a systems analyst at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the schools raided on Dec. 11. According to the Boston Globe, Tresco is alleged to have been operating near the top level of the piracy ring, dubbed DrinkOrDie. As a result of his involvement, several MIT computers were seized, including at least one server.
A Gateway store in Pennsylvania also was involved in the raid, and one of its employees was questioned. Additionally, employees at the companies that made the pirated software are also under suspicion. The pirated goods include the Windows XP operating system, computer games and even recent hit movies such as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." In all, the investigation touched 27 cities and five countries.
In Tresco's case, authorities allege he was using MIT computers to conduct at least some of his illegal activies. What was he supposed to be doing? Maintaining the security systems for MIT's Economics Department.
You've heard this sort of story before, that it's the insiders you have to watch out for as much as outside intruders. But the DrinkOrDie episode brings it to light in stark fashion.
What could MIT have done to detect Tresco's allegedly illicit activities? E-mail filtering software may have helped. Tools such as Baltimore Technologies' MIMEsweeper, SurfControl's SuperScout and Marshal Software's MailMarshal scan the content of e-mail messages looking for predefined keywords that indicate a potential security breach or simply non-business activity. In this case, if the tool was programmed to flag "DrinkOrDie," or the larger "warez" ring, Tresco may have been caught.
The same vendors have products that scan the content of Web sites and monitor the sites employees are visiting. Here again, such a tool may have alerted MIT if Tresco was indeed up to no good, given the ring allegedly operated its own site, www.drinkordie.com, which has since been shut down.

Surrounded by trees, waterfalls and tropical wildlife, this Amazon tribe is a world away from the beaches of Rio.
These striking photos show members of the indigenous Dessana tribe, which is situated nearly 3,000 miles away from Brazil's capital.
It is only accessible by boat from the city of Manaus - where England will play their first World Cup game in June this year.
Photographer David Lazar, 30, captured a series of portraits of tribe members, including a young boy with piercing green eyes and a Dessana chief in full head dress.
He also photographed children playing pan pipes, colourful Macaw birds sat on a tree branch and a mother and grandmother kissing a small child.
Mr Lazar, from Brisbane, took most of the photos in two Dessana villages in the rainforest, but also travelled thousands of miles south to the Iguazu Falls on the Argentine border.
'I travelled by boat to reach the Dessana tribe who live on the bank of the river and still honour their traditional roots and customs,' he said.
They were such a peaceful and friendly people. The chief wears traditional face paint, a full feather head dress, and his smile shows the warmth and happiness of the peaceful tribe.
'You can see from the picture of the mum, grandmother and baby together how family and community play an important role in the raising of an Amazonian child.
'The children in the forest also happily play together. The feathers in the boys' headdresses are made from a Macaw bird, and these are worn to mark the identities of tribal groups.'
He said he hoped the images would show an alternative view of Brazil, which is also due to host the Olympic Games in 2016.
It is such an amazing and vast country,' he said. 'The cities and beaches are all great but there is another Brazil that need to be seen.
"Thousands of miles from the Dessana is another amazing sight, the Iguazu Falls. The legend tells of a story about a God who had planned to marry himself to a beautiful woman named Naipí.
'When he found her fleeing with her mortal lover Tarobá in a canoe, the God split the river in two out of fury, condemning them eternally inside the gushing waters of the falls.'
Mr Lazar, who has also travelled to Bangladesh, Kenya and south east Asia to photograph locals, said he enjoyed capturing scenes that 'defy time'.
'I am drawn to subjects that do not reflect the modern world - I like to capture scenes that could have been taken 100 years ago,' he said.
'I find this type of subject interesting as it is very different from my usual life in Australia and I enjoy capturing and sharing these scenes of the world that most people don't get to see.
'I especially love portrait photos, and capturing expressive, unique and powerful faces that evoke a sense of emotion in the viewer.'
Mr Lazar said that he managed to interact and photograph tribes by 'smiling', 'engaging with tribe members' and 'using phrases in other languages'.
