I recieved a bi-lateral hip injection with synvic and am feeling much better already.Dr. After he was finished Dr. "
It went as described above. I had to have two nerve blocks to determine if she was in the correct place. She and I both knew after the first nerve block that she was indeed in the correct place but MEDICARE demanded that a second be performed which in my opinion was a total waste of taxpayer's money because Dr. the right place the first time."
I like the nurses that do the work. I think they are very good. They also run tons of promotions. Some are for some expensive facials and such and you get them at a really good price. Their marketing seems to have a way of getting you to buy things you "
The surgery went very well, and since I was very relaxed by sedatives I don't remember most of it. I do remember being aware during closure and speaking to both the surgeon and Dr.
The fact that she took the time from her very busy schedule to understand my wishes and go above and beyond to accomodate them meant a lot to me.
I would ask for Dr. "

Although it is a 65 mile round trip for me, I am very pleased with the way I am being treated at OSS. I seldom have to wait past my appointment time, nor do I wait long, once I am in an examining room, to be seen. The staff are all very cordial and friendly as well as professional. They truly seem to listen to everything I have to say and explain their diagnosis in terms I can understand. After several months of trying epidurals and physical therapy for my back and leg problems, surgery was recommended.A lumbar laminectomy/discectomy operation was preformed on May 30, 2012, and so far all is healing well. I was told it was a text book operation with no problems. I am healing well with no complications so far. It is still too early for total results, but I notice most of the numbness and tingling has went away in my legs. I look forward to the neck/upper back operation to hopefully relieve the pain and discomfort in my neck and head that I continue to experience."
This is what happened. He sedated me. I would not use him again. I and charged for sedation. His billing department is very difficult to work with. They were non responsive, and they over charged me. They tried to bind the account of his assistant with his account. It took me four, and a half months to get a refund. It was very stressful to me. I would not recommend him."
He doesn't push drugs. If you have some problems and surgery can me dangerous, he will find the nerve that is creating the problem. He will cut it off from the brain so it will stop reporting to the brain. He does pain management, epidural, acupuncture, and massage. He has another doctor in his office. He is the most practical. He will prescribe pain medication if they are very carefully managed. He is very respectful and kind. The only communication problem is with a language "
After a very harrowing 12 hours, I finally was able to get ambulance transport to there seemed quite focused on their job and how it could contribute to patient recovery, from the doctors and ICU nurses to Housekeepers and the people who delivered my meals. I'm fussy when it comes to hospital and medical care, having grown up in a medical family, and "

Some are calling it a real life case of the Grinch stealing Christmas in Richmond. The musical came to town over the weekend, but a power outage brought the show at the Landmark Theater to a screeching halt.
The Woods family rememberS what happened when the room went dark at the Saturday show.
"30 minutes later... pow," explained Lisa Woods.
"The Grinch said, 'I didn't do that,'" recalled little Riley Woods.
Broadway Richmond released a statement saying the musical was impacted by a power outage in the vicinity.
"It was a very big outing for our family and unfortunately we haven't been able to find out if there are going to be any refunds," said Jim Woods.
The family says they spent $300 on tickets alone.
"And we'd like to get what we paid for," said Lisa. "It was the kids' Christmas and their birthdays."
Little James Woods celebrated his birthday the day before the show.
"I just hated it," said James. "I really wanted to enjoy this show."
The theater released a statement over the weekend.
"Patrons who attended the matinee performance are welcome to exchange their tickets at no additional charge for the 8pm performance or the Sunday 6:30pm performance," read the statement.
But it was based on availability.
"Unfortunately it turned into a bad experience," said Jim. "So we are hoping they can help us out and do the right thing for us and everyone that was affected."
We have been in constant contact with Broadway Richmond. They say they are working on a joint statement that could come as early as Wednesday morning.
We got a message from at least one family saying they were contacted by the Landmark, and will be getting a refund.
The Woods family is still waiting.

Crouton-Topped Garlic Soup for Two Recipe
"Pan roasting the garlic gives this soup a rich flavor, while a touch of cream lends body. The herbed croutons enhance the soup's taste and add texture, but it's the freshly grated cheese that make this dish taste like heaven!"—Carolyn Kumpe, El Dorado, California
- 10 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large onion, halved and sliced
- 1-1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup cubed sourdough bread, crusts removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup Gruyere cheese or shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- In a small skillet, cook garlic in oil over low heat for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the heat; set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook onions in butter until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Add the broth, thyme, bay leaf and reserved garlic. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Stir in cream; heat through. Discard bay leaf.
- For croutons, place bread in a small bowl. Combine the oil, rosemary, salt and pepper; drizzle over bread and toss to coat. Place in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Divide soup among four bowls. Top with croutons, cheese and parsley. Yield: 2 servings.

The beloved children's fable The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, came to life this holiday season at the State Theatre in Austin, TX, December 4-29, 2002, under the direction of Scott Kanoff. Well-known Broadway lighting designer Richard Winkler (Evita, Fame: the Musical Tour) used the High End Systems Catalyst™ System for the first time. He also specified eight Studio Spot® 575s and four Studio Color® 575s, controlled by a Flying Pig Systems Hog 500 console.
"Catalyst is a new tool that will help revolutionize the industry--it will take us to the next level of theatrical presentation," said Winkler. "Sound in the last 10 years has become the major important design element, along with lighting, scenery, and costumes--and video is on its way. The advent of the Catalyst will help move things forward at a very rapid pace."
The Catalyst system combines the power of digital media with the creativity of automated effects lighting. In The Little Prince, Catalyst is called into play when a character must draw various images--a sheep, a rose, and others--which are illustrated in the book.
Said video designer Colin Lowery, "The script has little line drawings that one of the characters draws on a sketch pad during the show, so we wanted to have it appear like the audience was seeing what he was drawing in real time. What the original stage directions say is to have an artist backstage with an overhead projector doing the drawings with grease pencils. Instead, we enlarged the drawings from the script so that they would be bigger, put them under the transparency sheet and a Wacom Tablet--a pressure-sensitive drawing pad that enables you to draw in Painter and Photoshop. I have a computer that's hooked up to the Wacom Tablet, so I plugged the video out of that computer into a deck so that anything that was happening on the computer screen was also being recorded on a tape."
Lowery's son traced the artwork. "A complicated drawing would probably take three or four minutes and you probably have 30 seconds of onstage time in which you would see the drawing," Lowery explains, "so we had to speed it up like crazy--in some cases 900%. The drawings were white on black, so we'd make changes with the background color, drawing speed, shape, and other parameters, and create a new movie. My programmer would just replace the file in Catalyst with the new file."
Winkler marveled at Catalyst's features. "Catalyst allows phenomenal flexibility as long as you have a video content creator and a lighting programmer who are capable of making the content changes available to you in the theatre," he adds. The speed at which changes can be made is important. "We had ideas and we changed and modified images within three minutes," Winkler says. "Without Catalyst, any changes would typically be done out of the theatre, usually overnight, it would be costly, and you were never really sure exactly what you were getting until the next day. By having Catalyst and Apple's Final Cut Pro software on-site, we could make the changes and load them into Catalyst immediately."

All enrollment fees collected by new members from November
3rd – November 13th will be donated to Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare
Planet Fitness locations will also collect non-perishable food items to benefit each organization
Guilford, CT - In the spirit of Thanksgiving and giving back to those in need, Planet Fitness, the innovative health club franchise known for its Judgment Free Zone® and affordable prices, today announced a charitable promotion that allows new members to "name their own price" to join, with 100% of the enrollment fees donated to Connecticut Food Bank or Foodshare. The state-wide initiative to end hunger will run from November 3rd to November 13th at 29 participating Planet Fitness locations.
Prices at Planet Fitness are extremely affordable. New members pay an enrollment fee and then just $10 a month. As part of the "Name Your Own Price" to join campaign, Planet Fitness is offering an enrollment fee as low as $5, which will be donated to Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare – two local organizations that share in the mission to provide nutritious food to local people in need. As a result, members can join Planet Fitness and have access to a healthier lifestyle while making a difference to end hunger for their neighbors at the same time.
"At Planet Fitness, we offer a non-intimidating environment where everyone can feel comfortable while working toward achieving a healthier lifestyle," said Dr. Charles Anderson, Chief Wellness Officer, Planet Fitness CT. "We are thrilled to partner with Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare to help provide nutritious food to those who need it most, especially during the holiday season when there is increasing demand for food assistance."
Connecticut Food Bank distributes food and other resources to more than 650 local emergency food programs throughout six counties in Connecticut, and Foodshare serves 300 community partners in two counties.
Hunger directly impacts all of the local communities Planet Fitness serves, so in addition to the "Name Your Own Price" to join campaign, participating locations will also be collecting non-perishable food items for each of the food banks in bulk.
"Planet Fitness is a great partner for us because they are giving the community the opportunity to help in a very meaningful way, and helping to raise awareness for the growing need for food in Connecticut," said Nancy L. Carrington, Connecticut Food Bank's President & CEO. "November is an ideal time to build awareness of the food insecurity faced by more than 520,000 people in Connecticut, however, hunger is an everyday problem in our state. We are grateful to Planet Fitness for their community partnership to help end hunger."
Planet Fitness is known for "no" judgment and intimidating gym situations. Through the "Name Your Own Price" to join campaign, Planet Fitness is also saying, "No to hunger in Connecticut."

CATEGORIES Movies"I'm Billy Crystal, and I approve these Oscars." So says eight-time host Crystal in the newest behind-the-scenes video for his ninth time as Academy Awards emcee. What does Crystal have in-store for Hollywood's biggest night?
Judging from the two-minute clip, lots of movie-loving! Crystal calls the Oscars the "grandaddy" of awards shows, while exclaiming that the future nominees will all be "excellent." (Guess that means Crystal knows "J. Edgar" won't make an appearance at the ceremony; tip your waitress.)
The video is part of the relaunch of Oscar.com in the week before the nominations are announced on Tuesday, Jan. 24. The 84th annual Academy Awards, with Crystal as host, air on ABC on Sunday, Feb. 26. Check back to Moviefone in the next month for wall-to-wall Oscar coverage.

Opera 9.62 Closes Security Holes
Norwegian provider Opera Software is releasing almost weekly security updates for its Opera browser. Version 9.62 is to address what the company deems two of its most critical security problems.
Opera Software found that its browser was subject to cross-site scripting attacks due to a bug in the links panel (see the advisory).
Another security breach designated as even more severe targeted the history search function. Passing certain parameters to the function could allow scripts executing arbitrary code to be injected into the search results page (see the advisory). Users are warned that if they opened public demonstrations of this issue, they could have altered certain Opera settings and that these settings need to be restored manually. Upgrading to 9.62 does not repair these settings.
The update to 9.62 is recommended for all Opera browser platforms (Linux, Windows and Mac OS X among them). Next to the security patches, the release also provides the Presto 2.1.1 rendering engine. Various download locations for the popular platforms are available.

Halloween in Palo Alto
Original post made by Zoya on Oct 23, 2009
I do not see many houses decorated around my neighbourhood. I moved from East Coast where Halloween is a big deal, residents get really creative, though there has been a strong tendency lately towards less scary stuff, but there is still plenty of non-scary Halloween themes.
on Oct 23, 2009 at 3:54 pm
I am afraid I have to disappoint you.
City of Palo Alto doesn't care any more about Halloween. Neither do downtown businesses or organized communities.
Things have changed from 30 years ago when kids and parents used to have fun on this day.
My advice - go to Campbell, Los Gatos, or Foster City for their safe-street Halloween on Blythe, Bainbridge, and Decatur Streets.
What is a safe-street? They are designated streets where children of a city, town, or community can go and parade around safely in costume after dark. There are local volunteers watching the streets to make sure the people on the safe-street are not harassed, or attacked in any way.
Years ago, many children would have gotten hurt by older children, or adults, who think it's cute to give little children a bad time on Halloween night. To prevent this, a group---in Foster City, it is the Foster City Rotary Club---would sponsor these streets to make sure that an area is safe for the children to parade around in costume.
Palo Alto Rotary club could take a note!
on Oct 23, 2009 at 4:08 pm
I agree, Palo Alto is not much fun on Halloween night. Try Belvedere street in San Francisco. Belvedere is actually blocked off for about 3 or 4 blocks, so the children can walk in the street. Each house has over done themselves with out of this world decorations. There was nothing too frightening, but very fun Halloween Decor.
My favorite was this house that was decorated as Kung-Fu Panda, where they actually had people dress up as the characters and blasted music and danced for children.
on Oct 23, 2009 at 4:19 pm
It varies a lot. Some neighborhoods get inundated with kids from out of town and other neighborhoods get very few. Some houses go overboard on decorations (look out for the flying saucer on Vernon) but not necessarily all in a particular neighborhood. Kids dress up in elementary schools which usually have a parade, and Stanford Shopping Center usually has trick or treats for kids in costume on the day. Kids do go round trick or treating but wait until after dark. This year being a Saturday I expect they will stay out later, sometimes we get teenagers much later and they are sometimes asking for canned goods for food banks (much better idea), very few come trick or treating for Unicef.
The kids get a great deal of candy at school, particularly the elementary schools. Peninsula Bible Church on Middlefield is holding a Harvest Fest during the afternoon with carnival type games, but no scary costumes. Stanford Shopping Center usually does something and I think Cal Ave might, but not downtown. Watch the PA Weekly next week and the Daily and Post and you might get some more ideas.

The Texas Rangers used to go to spring training trying to fill out a starting rotation and hoping to get out of last place in the AL West.
When the Rangers report to Arizona this week, they will have Japan's top pitcher and four returners who won at least 13 games among at least seven potential starters. That despite losing their No. 1 starter in free agency.
They will also be taking the first step toward a quest to get to their third consecutive World Series. They insist there will be no hangover after being so agonizingly close to winning it all last season.
Michael Young, their longest-tenured player, says Texas is every bit a championship team and just wants to prove it.

What Happens After I Launch My New Membership Management Solution?
For every client, the day their new membership management solution goes live is exciting.
The past few weeks (or months) have been spent cleaning up existing member databases, updating the membership directory and organizing all of the old data.
But the reality is that the work has just started. As they say, "welcome to the first day of the rest of your life."
Hopefully during your implementation period you took advantage of all the training and have been learning how to use your new membership management solution.
So what are some key things you should be able to do to better manage your association right after your new software is live? Here's a short list of key action items and management tasks that will test how well you understand your new software.
- Link an individual's membership record to an organization and identify an individual as the primary contact of an organization.
- Manage member relationships from individuals to individuals, organizations to organizations and individuals to organizations for example.
- Set up an event and take event registrations with the event management software in your system. Know how to run event registrant lists and reports for managing your meetings.
- Launch your membership Web site to your members and give them members-only content.
- Send out an e-mail marketing campaign to notify members about the new members-only Web site and how they can update their profile, fill out an online membership application, search the membership directory, register for an event, purchase merchandise, make a donation and/or renew and pay their membership dues order.
- Process payments for event registrations, new memberships, renewal memberships, merchandise items, subscriptions, donations, etc.
- Run a report to see who has filled out the new visitor registration form on the association Web site. Target them to join and register for an event if they have not already done so.
- Run queries and reports to see how many new and renewed members you have added to the membership database since you started using the new association maangement software.
- Reconcile your accounting records by using the accounting reports (GL Ledger detail, Cash Flow Report) and other payments queries.
- Be able to know how many merchandise/subscription items were purchased and how to fulfill those orders using the merchandise fulfillment/subscription fulfillment or inventory management/warehouse processes.
- Be comfortable using the association management software to make your daily business practices run smoother and save you time.
If you are not able to complete these items during implementation or right after, then you should add them to your list of future tasks to complete. Also look for resources from your software partner including upcoming trainings, recorded webinars – or consider scheduling additional training for you or your staff.
The key to a successful membership solution implementation is that it gets used properly to manage the association and make life easier for members and the staff. And with proper training and practice, you'll be using it to deliver better association management.

General questions about upgrading memory
What is memory?
Memory or RAM is a piece of hardware in your Compaq Presario Laptop 1200-XL502 that holds software applications that you are working on. It serves as temporary working space between your computer's hard drive and CPU.
Why add memory to my computer?
Adding memory will improve your Compaq Presario Laptop 1200-XL502's performance. Specifically, it will speed up opening new applications, running multiple applications at once, and switching between software applications (multi-tasking).
How does additional memory improve performance?
One task that additional memory speeds up is opening a new software application. Let's take this as an example. When you open a new application on your Compaq Presario Laptop 1200-XL502, your computer's CPU fetches the application from the hard drive and stores it in RAM memory. It stores it in RAM because RAM is very fast relative to the hard drive. When RAM gets full, and you open a new application then the CPU needs to kick out one of your open applications, put it back on the slow hard drive, fetch the new application from the hard drive, and place the new application in RAM. Basically, it swaps the applications.
This game of swapping wastes time. Ideally, your computer could have an infinite amount of RAM. Then your CPU would fetch an application once from the hard drive, save it into RAM, and never need to kick out another application. There is no such thing as infinite RAM, but you can max out the RAM on your computer by adding the maximum amount of memory to each socket.
How do I max out the memory on my system?
The maximum RAM your Compaq Presario Laptop 1200-XL502 can support is 320MB, and your system has 1 sockets.
To max out your RAM memory, add the maximum amount of memory to each memory socket.To find out how much RAM each socket can support, divide the system maximum RAM amount by the total number of sockets in your system. For example, if your system maximum RAM is 2GB, and your system has 2 total sockets then the maximum amount each socket can support is 1GB. If one of the sockets is already filled then you can always remove the existing module and replace it with a higher capacity module.
Will adding memory void my warranty?
No. The 1975 Magnusson-Moss Act prevents OEM manufacturers from disqualifying a warranty when 3rd party memory is used. For more details, please see the Magnuson-Moss Act.
What is memory speed?
Memory speed refers to the amount of time that memory (RAM) takes to put data into its memory or send it out. Your device's memory will have an upper limit on the speed at which it can operate.
What is a memory kit?
A memory kit is a number of memory modules sold as a unit or a kit. For example, a 1GB memory kit will contain two 512MB modules. This is written as (2x512MB).
What is the difference between RAM & Hard Drive Memory?
RAM and hard drive disk space are both referred to as memory which can be confusing. RAM is a series of memory sticks in your computer that temporarily holds software applications and documents that you are working on, prior to saving it. Once saved, the documents or software applications are saved permanently on your hard drive. If you are running low on disk space on your hard drive you can consider purchasing a portable hard drive or flash drives to store your files on.
About your Compaq Presario Laptop
What type of memory do I need?
Your Compaq Presario Laptop uses PC100 type memory.
What is the maximum amount of memory that I can add?
Your Compaq Presario Laptop can support up to 320MB of computer memory. For optimal performance install the maximum amount of memory in each socket.
How much memory does my system have now?
Your system comes standard with 64MB of RAM. If you have upgraded your system then you may have a different amount.
What are banks and sockets?
A bank is a group of memory sockets. A socket is where a memory module is inserted. A bank can have one or more sockets.
One or more of the sockets in your system is already filled with memory. When you upgrade your system, you can either add memory to one of the open sockets and/or remove memory from a filled socket and replace it with a higher capacity memory module.
How many banks and sockets does my Compaq Presario Laptop have?
Your Compaq Presario Laptop 1200-XL502 has 1 banks of 1 sockets each for a total of 1 memory sockets.
Is there anything else I should consider prior to upgrading my Compaq Presario Laptop memory?
- Although the BIOS will address 320MB of memory, the amount available to the system will be less than 320MB depending on computer resources.
How do I know that Black Diamond memory will work with my system?
OKmemory tests each RAM module to ensure compatiblity with your Compaq Presario Laptop system. The memory modules listed above are guaranteed to work in your Compaq Presario Laptop 1200-XL502. Learn more on how to install memory in a Compaq Presario Laptop 1200-XL502.

Rector Breaks Scoring Record in Spirits Victory
Asheville, NC- The Salem College Basketball Team traveled to western North Carolina to play against the Warren Wilson College Owls. For the second consecutive game, the Spirits only suited up five players. After a slow start, Salem College pulled away to lead at half-time 44-20. The Spirits ran the floor well as they scored on numerous fast breaks. Despite having no substitutes for the five starters, the second half continued to go Salem's way as they defeated the Owls 83-40.
Kelsey Rector (FY, State Road, NC) broke the school single-game scoring record with 31 points. The previous record of 27 was held by Alex Ervin and Shakila Springs (2006-2007 season). Courtney Sauer (FY, Carthage, NC) had a career scoring night with 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Michala Michaux (So, Morganton, NC) scored 15 points dished out 12 assists (school record) and had 7 rebounds. Jasmine Glenn (So, Winston-Salem, NC) led the Spirits in rebounding with 12 to go with her 7 points and 8 steals. Stephanie Wilson (So, Morganton, NC) scored 6 points, grabbed 6 rebounds and stole the ball five times for Salem College (8-14).
The Warren Wilson Owls (1-15) were led by Georgia Aton (11 pts, 4 reb), Curry Aton (7 pts, 8 reb) and Laura Dison (6 pts, 11 reb).
Salem College will play their final game of the 2007-2008 season on Thursday, February 14, at home as they host Bennett College. Tip-off time is 7 pm.

Cupcakes that can potentially penetrate your skull and screw around with your brains.

These cool/cute/gnarly Half-Life inspired headcrab cupcakes were made by artistic-aviary aka Liz.
I knew there was a reason to collect all those coins. Check out this hand-blown Mario Bros scene pipe and look for that green "vine" to get you into the clouds.

This ship is worse than the Divina!
The food that we ate in the restaurant was the same as the Divina on the same day. But the food was cold when it was supposed to be hot. Boring. Thank goodness for the Indonesian waiter: always a smile for his Australian table. Tried to be efficient but the food was slow coming and cold. Divina wins points here. The Maitre D' was past his use by date. Could not smile. In fact it was a game we Aussies played to see if we could get a smile out of him. Managed by exception.
Often the tours we wanted to go on were not available because "there were not enough people!" They were mostly expensive: we could have done better tours through research on both the Devina and Splendida.
The ship was supposed to go to Palermo but it didn't. Went to Tunis instead.
Either our cabin was dirty or our food was contaminated by other pax not using the tongs available but using their hands. Both my wife and I ended up with very heavy chest infections. When I opened the door to the cabin at night I was able to get a good night's sleep.
Having had issues on the Devina my suggestion is that neither ship is worth the money.

Mogens 'Johs' Johansen lives and works in Frederikshavn, Denmark and makes about two thousand pipes each year. Many of his shapes may seem familiar, and this is because he carved many pipes for Bjarne. After Mogens drills the tobacco chamber, mortise, and airway, he fits a preform vulcanite or acrylic stem (each having a tenon turned on them, though some are fit with a separate tenon) and works insanely fast, which is part of the reason that his pipes are so affordable.
Many of his shapes are variations on Danish Billiards, Brandies, Dublins, and Freehands, which could be finished either smooth, sandblasted, rusticated, or a combination of these textures. Spot carving is often employed on smooth pipes to cover a flaw, while retaining the beauty of the grain. The price simply can't be beat for a handmade pipe.
47 Johs pipes in this category, 6 new.

Souls on 'The Line' | Guatemala City sex workers turn to fútbol for a sense of who they are
Media fascination with Las Estrellas' story is evident in the trailer from Estrellas de la Línea. The ponytailed coach is Kimberly, a fashion designer for sex workers and transvestites.
Of football documentaries that favor the human element there is no shortage of late. One of the most recent is Estrellas de la Línea, screened at English-language film festivals as The Railroad All-Stars, about Guatemala City sex workers who in 2004 organized themselves as a football team.
Estrellas has made appearances at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and most recently the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival in New York following a premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2006.
Filmmakers and Las Estrellas themselves do not hide that their grab for attention began as just that. Frustrated at efforts to gain respect for their plight through the political process, the women seized on a suggestion to organize a team in a Saturday amateur women's league, the domestic Campeonato Femenino (see 30 Nov 04). Las Estrellas' first match in Sept '04 came against the girls' team from Colegio Americano, the elite American School of Guatemala, and almost immediately publicity flowed. Much of the debate afterward was framed by this one match.
Las Estrellas arrived at the event bearing a 10-point manifesto, "Vindication of the Prostitutes of La Línea." "The prostitutes of La Línea," the document begins, referring to the four-block downtown section alongside La Avenida del Ferrocarril (Railroad Avenue), "are women before prostitutes" (see Tim Kantz, " 'Prostitution Is a Job Like Any Other,' " EntreMundos, Jan–Feb 05). Akin in some way to the prototypical feminist treatise, Mary Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" (1792), the document tipped off Las Estrellas' opponents to the women's identity. They had not made this clear to tournament organizers.
Journalist Andrés Cepeda, who was helping the film crew, states in an Associated Press interview that the women's presence represented "an intentional, confrontational act to provoke two polar opposites within society, without violence, to experience and observe their reaction."
With film cameras rolling, the legitimacy of Las Estrellas' protest became clear. Kantz in his article in EntreMundos picks up the narrative:
The Colegio girls complained to the tournament's administrators that they feared catching contagious diseases from the team of prostitutes. The administrators, claiming that the Stars and their followers used profanity in their cheers, kicked them out of the tournament and kept the Q1,000 fee [$125] the women had paid to enter the event.
Estrellas lost 5–2 to the Colegio team, but the game propelled Las Estrellas on a cross-country journey for friendly matches against journalists, policewomen and other sex workers. Among the 11 team members that Kantz names, all are mothers, with 39 children among them. Team members come from Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, an indication of Guatemala City's long-standing lure, dating back to the 1870s, to the sex trade and to traffickers of women and girls.
Three days before their inaugural match with Colegio Americano, Estrellas players get fitted for kit at an abandoned city lot doubling as their practice field. As always, a cameraman chronicles the moment. (Rodrigo Abd | AP)

Did your relative wear the Bonnet or the Cap? If yes, then their publication 'War Cry' might contain information. And accounts of their missions to towns around New Zealand might also contain information on the people they encountered. War Cry began in 1883 and has been indexed 1883 - 1919.
Lady Barker's book mentioned that at Ohau near Palmerston North, the Army Mission converted all the families except for one stubborn Catholic family. I took note because it was probably my Catholic family.
Did you have a relative in one of their Children's Homes? Residents have been recorded but the records only start at 1915 although the Homes began in 1900.
They also ran homes such as Hodderville Home near Waotu, Putaruru. A farm of 2350ac where boys 12-19 came as assisted immigrants in the 1920's. (see The War Cry 27th Jan 1934). Another was the Public Schoolboys Scheme.
You can contact them to search these records @$40. Write to 202 Cuba St, Wellington. The Archives is shifting to their Training College Facility in December. The new address will be 20 William Booth Grove, Upper Hutt. Please make an appointment. Or you can contact them by email at the Salvation archives.
No plans are in the air for putting their records online yet but they may do in the future.
Bethany Home. Who remembers this maternity home or others they ran? The nation wide Salvation Army maternity records can be accessed by writing to the Bethany Centre 35 Dryden St, Grey Lynn, Auckland.

This is interesting Lyn as my father-in-law and his brother were placed in a Salvation Home for Boys near Eltham during the 1920's.ReplyDelete
roll on the records being put on line so we can do our own researchReplyDelete
When I contacted them in 1991 about my father (Eltham Home 1913 to 1920) they had destroyed all personal files. They just had a record of the admission and release dates. Name of relative (just surname, no address) and whether any fees had been paidReplyDelete

vacation rental description
Perfect for 2 Families or Your Extended Family to Share! "The Anchorage" The perfect spot to drop your vacation anchor!
The perfect vacation spot to drop your anchor!
Just steps (less than one football field) to the powdery,
white, beach located directly across the road through a
private, tropical beach entrance.
Backyard, in-ground, private, heated (to 80 degrees F), swimming pool! Relax with a cold cocktail while sitting on one of the submerged stools, or maybe enjoying a fun game of water volleyball is more your style ...
You are sure to find a perfect balance of
relaxation and fun in the sun here on our
mid-island location on Fort Myers Beach, Florida!
Our lovely beach home is a duplex. It is perfect for two families vacationing together or
one big family to spread out! We refer to the two sides as Sunrise and Sunset which
together comprise The Anchorage. Our beach home boasts tasteful, tropical, airy
furnishings. Relax on the lanai, dine under the large umbrella-ed deck or take a cool
shower in your own private, outdoor shower. Just steps to the beach for some of the best
shelling in the country, midnight star gazing and awesome sunset celebrations all at half
the cost of staying beachfront. No need to worry about wandering
little ones; we have 2 beach carts to carry your treasures (kids, coolers, towels, chairs,
etc) to the beach effortlessly.
Heres the basic layout of our beach home which rents in its entirety.
Right Side (Sunset)
You can enter the right side of the house (Sunset) through the screened lanai. There are two bedrooms on the ground level floor. They are best described as suites. Both offer views to the in-ground swimming pool and have separate outdoor entrances. The suites can be connected to each other through a door that can be left locked for privacy or open for company. Each of these bedrooms has its own half bathroom, queen bed, living area consisting of chair, couch and TV as well as small lanai. Suite #2 has a bonus room consisting of shower, full sized washer & dryer, microwave and dorm refrigerator. The private, outdoor shower can be accessed through the hallway the leads to these bedrooms and upstairs.
Upstairs you will you find the family room, dining area with table that comfortably seats 10, kitchen, 2 decks, full sized laundry facilities, 2 bedroom (1 king and 1 queen), full bathroom and bar area with stools and dining area. Both decks are outfitted with tables and chairs. So, on the "Sunset" side, all 4 bedrooms are connected interiorly or can be locked out for privacy.
Sunset & Sunrise also have a set of double hung sliding barn doors that connect the upstairs main living areas which can be opened for convenient passage between the separate sides or closed for privacy (similar to adjoining hotel rooms that connect).
Left Side (Sunrise)
The left side of the house (Sunrise) has a separate, private entrance. Think of it as a private apartment. It contains a small deck with table and chairs, family room, full bathroom, bedroom (king), loaded kitchen, bar area with stools and dining area. Again, it does contain a sliding barn door that provides easy interior passage to Sunset if you leave the door open …
Our kitchens have everything you need and more:
refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, stove/oven, coffeemaker, toaster, blender,
silverware and dinnerware and all the gadgets you will need whenever you are cooking in.
So, to sum up the whole house,
5 bedrooms 2 kings and 3 queens
2 full baths + 2 half baths, 1 shower, 1 private outdoor shower
Sleeps 10
2 kitchens
There are two, full size laundry facilities one upstairs and 1 downstairs.
Our AC and ceiling fans throughout the house will be sure to keep everyone in cool
All in all, this house offers extraordinary fun, comfort, and convenience to enjoy an
unforgettable vacation with your family and friends. It is absolutely perfect for couples,
families, and family reunions. Hope you can drop your anchor with us soon at The
Anchorage! To see more photos of the beach home email your request to us today using the contact information provided. Please check the calendar before sending your request to save yourself time. Our calendar is up dated frequently and is up-to-date!

How About a Piano Instruction Vacation Right on the Beach?
Return from your vacation with more than just photos: combine sun and fun with learning for a truly memorable getaway.
You are invited to unwind on one of the loveliest beaches around...
Stay in the Piano Guy's beach home (7 Time Emmy Award Winning host of public television's The Piano Guy with Scott Houston) located on Fort Myers Beach, Florida for your next vacation.
Have you always wanted to be able to sit down at a piano and play a few of your favorite tunes? Nows your chance.
Maybe this vacation will be one that will allow you to knock one of your lifelong dreams off your to-do list.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an accomplished player trying to hone your piano playing skills, take us up on our invitation for an extraordinary exclusive travel experience that includes a beach vacation that becomes the foundation on which you'll enhance or develop your piano playing abilities. Our beach home is set up with everything that you will need to accomplish this goal:
- Piano with headphones
- Scott's video instruction
- Fake books (the tunes)
- Scott's printed instruction books
All this is provided at no additional cost to you while you are our guest in our lovely beach home! There is a piano in both Sunrise and Sunset. You can work at your own pace in Scott's home on a gorgeous beach. Sounds like the perfect vacation, doesn't it! What? You say that you simply want to be a "beach bum" while on vacation, no problem. We can help you with that too!
The Anchorage is located on Estero Island, a seven-mile stretch of ocean- front which is filled with shopping, dining and entertainment. You can enjoy parasailing, jet skiing, volleyball pits, live music, eats and drinks all within walking distance.
Right down the street you will find nice recreational facilities including tennis courts, basketball, and a large pool and water park featuring water slides and lifeguards for the kids. For the adults there are 3 Olympic sized swim lanes!
My favorite beach activities are biking and running along the ocean while watching and listening to the dolphins splash beside you! Our daughter still loves blowing bubbles and the all-time favorite activity of flying a kite up and down the beach.
The Anchorage is located mid-island which provides a quiet, private, tropical beach experience, but is still close enough to Times Square (entertainment district) for the times when you want to take a walk on the "wilder side." Here at the Anchorage, you will be sure to find a perfect balance of relaxation and fun in the sun! The Anchorage is only a 2
min. drive from a Grocery store (approx. mile.) A pharmacy, movie theater and medical Center are also close. Since the SW Regional International Airport (RSW) is only about a 25-30 minute drive (19 miles) with available taxi, shuttle and limousine services readily
available, transportation is never a problem.
This is an awesome location on the island, a beautiful section of pristine, sandy beach, wonderful shelling, and a wide variety of water sports are available, including jet skiing, sailing, snorkeling, parasailing, wind surfing, swimming, fishing, and boating. Non-beachy favorites include catching a movie at the theatre, putt-putting, shopping at Time Square on the island or upscale shopping at Coconut Point. There is also a world-class golfing nearby and at the south end of the island is Lovers Key State Park, voted one of the top ten beaches of the America's!
For those non-beach days, there is Tin City and Caribbean Gardens in
Naples, Naples Zoo, Naples Pier, the Ford and Edison historic homes
in Fort Myers, live theater, the Shell Factory, Shell Museum on
Sanibel, shelling on the beach on Sanibel, Sun-splash Water Park,
Casino boat, Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins baseball spring
training, mini-golf, amusement parks, the Fort Myers Beach Community
Pool with slides, a fabulous local library, Imaginarium Childrens
Museum, the Calusa Nature Preserve,
3 hours to Disney / Universal / Seaworld
Attractions; 2 hours to Tampa featuring Busch Gardens, museums, fine
restaurants, or world-famous Fort Lauderdale / Miami / South Beach.
Closer to home, Sanibel Island 20 minutes and Lovers Key Park (one of
America's 10 best beaches) 10 minutes to the south.
Driving times to major cities include: Fort Myers, Sanibel Island,
and Bonita Springs (15 minutes); Naples (30 minutes); Miami and
Tampa (two hours); and Orlando, Disney World, Universal Studios, and
Cape Canaveral (approximately three hours).
Excursions to the Everglades National Park and Key West available

service, respectively. A world-class sailing school, great restaurants
and bars with nightly live entertainment are right down the street!

I also found a little grey pattern cardigan that fits well over it for $2.
The Good Will receives several brand new items from local Target stores so I scored two brand new Merona tops. The lace tank was $5 and the long-sleeved stripe top was $4.
Madden girl shoes for $4. I do not usually purchase used shoes because shoes tend to adjust to the owner's feet over time and purchasing pre-owned shoes can cause discomfort to your own tootsies, however, these appeared to have hardly been warn. Plus they are Steve Maddens!
I found these loafers still with tags and at an extra 50% of at a Buffalo Exchange. Took them home for $11.
Happy Thrifting!

Achtung Baby (Remastered)
This album is Mastered for iTunes. By the end of the '80s, U2 already ranked among the planet's rock titans. Rather than rest on their laurels, the quartet tapped into throbbing club beats and ambient electronic sounds to create 1991's Achtung Baby. The band's spiritually inspired idealism and bracing guitar textures remain. What's strikingly new here is a groove-driven approach that puts fresh meat on U2's previously lean sonic bones. Bono is equally adventurous as a lyricist, adding a potent erotic charge to his themes of redemption and unity. "Even Better Than the Real Thing" and "Mysterious Ways" pulse with transcendent passion, while "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World" marries salvation with sensuality. From the metal-tinged fire of "Zoo Station" to the smoldering grandeur of "One," the band creates music both timeless and boldly contemporary. From its first track to the last, Achtung Baby is a risk-taking work that re-defined U2 for the rest of the '90s.
