Let Urban Retreat at Harrods give you the Gift of Beauty this Christmas. During the run up to party season, a girl needs a little help to ensure she is looking her most fabulous best. This year, why not opt for the best of the best with a superb 'Jewel Package'. Well, they say that diamonds are a girl's best friend, and with a little help from Urban Retreat you will know that statement is true! With packages such as Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby and Pearl, all including an ultimate pampering session, there will be no lady left disappointed this year!
Urban Retreat invites you to envelop yourself in ultimate luxury with the help of a shining team of hair, makeup and skincare specialists. This is a present guaranteed to delight a loved one or a well deserved treat to you. Any choice from the specially selected packages of indulgent treatments will leave you glowing with inner radiance, allure and glamour.
On hearing of these wonderful 'Jewel Packages', I knew I had to get someone to try it out! A friend was lucky enough to sample the Pearl Package (£110) and was truly delighted with it all. This package capture's the true lustre of the ocean's most precious jewel, leaving you glowing with classic elegance. It includes the following:-
• Blow-dry
• Custom manicure
• Makeup Application with the Daniel Sandler Team
• Glass of Champagne
Here is what she said:-
"On entering Urban Retreat, it really was a fabulous salon – A true Retreat in the middle of Urban London. James was waiting for me for a wash and blow-dry. He gave me a very good wash and the most wonderful blow dry I've ever had. He used large rollers to ensure full body – it was the best blow dry I have ever had. The end result was my hair was full bodied, bouncy and beautiful.
A delightful girl Jenni arrived to do my manicure. I had a cut, file, moisturise, soak, cuticles, buff, base coat, two colour coats and a top coat. At the last minute one of my nails had a very small hair on it, so she started from scratch again on that nail. I commented that it was ok, but she said it had to be perfect! Included was a hand and lower arm massage – all very nice!
I then moved on to have my make up done. I've never had my make up done for me before, so I was a little bit apprehensive! Adel was lovely – gentle and friendly. She asked and I explained that I prefer the natural look. She explained every action – foundation, concealer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blusher, lipstick and gloss.
Overall, I found the whole experience wonderful. I left the Urban Retreat feeling like Pretty Woman – my hair was bouncy and beautiful, my nails were buffed and gorgeous and my make-up was a real treat – I felt great. The staff were gentle and friendly, helpful and attentive, thorough, professional and polished. I was told the complete package would take 1 hour 15 minutes – in fact it took 1 hour 40 minutes, which shows that each person took their time to do a good job. There was a really nice atmosphere – very buzzing and happy."
This all sounds amazing; what a treat! And, with the Pearl Package being the cheapest, just imagine what it will feel like with the Diamond Package at £450? A voucher for any treatment at Urban Retreat in Harrods will make a remarkable gift for many this Christmas – or in fact any time of year.

I would love to share my recent experience with our readers, and highly recommend it to those who will be visiting or who live in Northern Ireland. The Galgorm Resort & Spa is nothing but true delight throughout and if you ever get the opportunity to stay here, you will not be disappointed! With a stunning setting and extensive grounds, Galgorm offers a perfect luxurious experience – one in which you can relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Their Spa is something else altogether!
The Thermal Spa offers you the chance to experience the ancient rituals of bathing in cold, cool, warm and hot environments to aid detoxification, purification and relaxation. The infinity hydrotherapy pool contains massage jets to ease away tensions while the heated cabins provide varying degrees of heat and humidity aimed at targeting different parts of your body including your respiratory and circulatory systems, your muscles and your skin. An invigorating rub with ice from the ice fountain will truly awaken the senses while a spell in the experience shower will prepare your skin for further treatments or maybe a relaxing soak in our outdoor hot-tub.
The World Class Spa at Galgorm is a true haven of peace and tranquillity – it really is a magical place. I had the ultimate pleasure of experiencing two treatments at the Spa, and to say I was calm and relaxed is an understatement! On first walking into the spa, you are overwhelmed of the peacefulness and I knew then that I was in for a right treat! Starting with a truly magnificent Hot Lava Shell Massage followed by a fantastic Deluxe Manicure, I left feeling like a different person.
My 'me time' experience was then followed by a delectable dinner at Gillies Bar which had no faults whatsoever. And then, what lady could refuse sampling a few cocktails from the cocktail bar! Here (if you're lucky) the gorgeous Jamie can conjure up mouth-watering drinks effortlessly – I have to recommend the Artic Mintree, totally divine!
As a truly wonderful gift, I feel that a Gift Voucher from Galgorm Spa would be unique and unexpected! With treatments available for men and women, couples, mum's to be plus much more, there really is something for everyone. So go on, I urge you to give your loved one a truly wonderful experience!
Another wonderful experience which I had during my visit was a tour of Belfast's historical sites, with NI Black Taxi Tours. Their Belfast Black Taxi Tours are the best way to explore Belfast. The guide was knowledgeable and completely unbiased. He picked me up from the hotel and after the tour dropped me at the best spots for some retail therapy. Recommended!
Please visit http://www.galgorm.com for further information and spa treatment prices.
For those who have been to a Build-a-Bear workshop, you will agree with me that it is the most enjoyable, exciting thing you can do with your child. For those who have not been there, I have to ask you 'Why Not?' I completely urge you to visit a store and explore it for yourselves.
As a family, my Fiancé, two boys and myself went to the Build-A-Bear Workshop. We were greeted at the door by an enthusiastic assistant and manager Glen, whom then introduced us to Roisin and Alana, who really got us all excited about the experience ahead of us. If all the staff at Build-A-Bear Workshops are like these assistants, then you will definitely get in the spirit within seconds!
What soon became apparent was a genuine care for the child in question. This is totally for the children, with the emphasis being on giving the little ones experiences (and bears!) that they will not forget. All the staff were extra friendly and completely in tune with the kids. It was refreshing to see this kind of attitude as opposed to everything being about profit.

Education investments continue at record levels
August 21, 2012
Claims by the Official Opposition that education is of declining importance to the Provincial Government are unfounded and inaccurate, the Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Education, said today.
"This government is committed to providing a quality education to all students in Newfoundland and Labrador," said Minister Jackman "While student enrolment has actually decreased 17 per cent, by over 14,000 students since we took office in 2003, our investment in support of K-12 education has increased a dramatic 47 per cent, from $591 million to $867 million this year."
Minister Jackman noted that the education system in Newfoundland and Labrador is better resourced today than ever before.
"Despite misleading comments from the Opposition critic, our children are not receiving a second-rate education," said Minister Jackman. "Since 2003 our per-pupil investment has increased 77 per cent. In 2008, we introduced a new teacher allocation model, with an annual investment of over $32 million. If the old formula was still in effect, there would be 822 fewer teachers in our system today. In fact, at 11.9 to 1, Newfoundland and Labrador has the lowest student-teacher ratio of any province in Canada."
To meet the needs of students in the 21st century, the Provincial Government has invested in new curriculum, new technologies, and skilled trades programming. The Provincial Government has also eliminated standard school fees, extended the free textbook policy to include high school students and continues to invest in music, theatre and visual arts programming.
Since 2004, about $567 million has been allocated for school infrastructure throughout the province. Nine new schools have opened, 10 more are in various stages of planning or construction and 12 major extension and renovation projects have been completed. In addition, more than 1,700 repairs and maintenance projects have been undertaken. This level of infrastructure investments is unprecedented in the province's history.

If you are a regular reader of my column you likely know that I much prefer an organic approach to farm and gardening and that I believe that building healthy soil produces healthy food. As I continue to learn more about pest control and fertility the more I have come to understand why healthy plants and animals have an edge over their synthetically doped counterparts.

A storage building toward the front of Grant County Park in Crittenden was vandalized last week with vulgar words painted on metal siding.

Tina Gordon finally got the call on Jan. 3 that the Gordon family had been waiting on for more than 60 years.
"I was so excited," she said. "I couldn't wait to go and tell Cliff."

9 Lives /Paws for Life: a London based cat rescue working to save the lives of cats in danger of unnecessary euthanasia and those who have no home or need a new home. 9 Lives cats were rehomed from 1996 to 2007. Since 2007 all cats we have saved are Paws for life cats. 9 Lives specialised in rehoming cats which were elderly, disabled or had a chronic medical problem. Paws for Life welcomes these cats in need and will also help to rehome any cat in need of a new home.
We believe that while quality of life exists, no cat should be prematurely killed.
We hope you will enjoy "meeting" our lovely cats. Many have had a rough time until they came to us. Some were strays, some were unwanted pets, or their owner may have died or could no longer care for them for other reasons. Many are elderly, some have health problems; but you can be sure that Paws for Life will do everything possible to find loving homes for them where they can stay for the rest of their lives. We do not kill while quality of life remains; the life of every cat is precious. We hope that by visiting here you will understand that not all cats are young and in the best of health. We believe that every cat should have the chance to live out its life in love and comfort regardless of age and while quality of life remains. Too many cats are killed because they are considered too old to settle in a new home, but we have proved time and time again that they do just that, and bring lots of love to the special people who have given them that chance. Kittens grow into cats, and cats get old just as we do. Age is not a crime. Please click here to see some lovely cats waiting for a new home, and please think about our 'pensioner' cats before you go.

ALC students often study abroad and use their credits toward their majors and/or minors. Study Abroad programs are offered in a variety of Asian countries including, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
From Our Students
"I studied abroad in Singapore during Spring 2012 at National University of Singapore. Singapore is an ideal place to go abroad as it offers top-notch education and is a hub to Southeast Asia. During my semester there, I got to learn about how Singapore has risen as a cosmopolitan city-country in few decades, experience the modern architecture and green technology, and even travel to many neighboring countries at an affordable price. Studying abroad leads knowledge to understanding as you observe and immerse in a new culture. It is a privilege; if you get the opportunity, go for it!" -Ellie Park"I had the opportunity to study at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong in Spring 2012. I got to meet a bunch of locals and people from all over the world, many of whom are my good friends today. Because Hong Kong is centrally located in Asia, I was also able to backpack through 9 other Asian countries, hopping from country to country. I saw tons of culture. I suffered through my fair share of painful mistakes. But through it all, I truly had the time of my life. So much so, I've decided to spend a good decade of my adult career working in Hong Kong. Study abroad! Experience new cultures, broaden your horizons, and have the best semester of your college career. The memories I made and the lessons I learned in those 6 months will stay with me forever." -Paul Ogawa
UCLA International Education Office places students with university partners worldwide. Students must transfer the credit back to UCLA—up to 24 upper division units offered through study abroad may be applied toward an ALC major. Once you have chosen a program, work with the ALC counselor to determine what courses may be applied to your major. Deadlines to apply are usually between six and nine months before the start of a program.
Petitioning for ALC major/minor credit
After you return from study abroad, please follow the steps outlined below to petition for major and minor credit.
Petitioning for Language credit for non-ALC students
If you are a non-ALC student who wishes to receive language credit from your study abroad program for your major, minor, or university requirement, please follow the steps below.

Cochise County deputies and officers from the Tombstone Marshal's Office discovered a pipe bomb in a house where a man's body was found late Thursday.
The city marshal's office called Cochise County around midnight after the man's body was found in the home across from a KOA campground, said Carol Capas of the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.
Officers suspected the pipe bomb and the CCSO bomb squad and two technicians from the Arizona Department of Public Safety were sent to Tombstone, Capas said.
The residence and other outbuildings contained the pipe bomb, about five pounds of ammonium nitrate, electric and non-electric blasting caps, a binary high explosive and a large amount of fuse, Capas said.
The explosive were disposed of safely, Capas said.
There was no identification or cause of death released for the man found in the home.
The Tombstone Marshals Office continues the investigation, Capas said.

The National Economics University ( NEU ) of Vietnam presented an honorary doctoral degree to the President of Laos Chummaly Saynhasone at a ceremony in Vientiane on August 28.
The president was honoured for the contributions he has made to the development of education-training and science-technology and the comprehensive cooperation between the two parties and nations in general.
Speaking at the awarding ceremony, President Chummaly Saynhasone thanked Vietnam for its great support for Laos in recent times, saying that he feels honored to receive the honorary degree from one of the most prestigious universities in Vietnam.
The NEU began to train officials for Laos from the 1963-1964 academic year.
Apart from training Lao students through cooperation programmes between the two governments, the university has also cooperated with the Lao side to hold many seminars addressing necessary issues to help the cause of national development in Laos.
The cooperation contributes to strengthening the special friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries./.

All Half-True statements involving Tim Pawlenty
Medicare "only has about 50 percent of it paid for by either premiums or payroll taxes, and the rest is deficit spending ... or debt spending."
"For decades before I was elected, governors tried and failed to get Minnesota out of the top 10 highest-taxed states in the country. I actually did it."
"From 1960, the year I was born, until the time I became Governor in 2003, the average two-year increase in Minnesota state spending was 21 percent. … we brought that down dramatically, to about 1.7 percent per year."

Stockton is a melting pot and much more.
From it's beginnings during the Gold Rush years, Stockton has attracted all types of people with myriad beliefs. Over the years Stockton has had many events that have helped shape more than our little community.
While the headlines in recent years have screamed about greed, crime and being the center of the financial meltdown of the first decade in the 21st century, there have been far many more good things that never made it to the papers beyond our community.
Good stuff happens in Stockton
Stockton has been an All American City twice, 1999 and 2004
We have University of the Pacific. It is the oldest chartered university in California; its date of charter is July 10, 1851
The Asparagus Festival has been here at the end of April for 26 years.
The Stockton Symphony is the third oldest, continuously performing orchestra in California Only the San Francisco Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic are older.
We have the oldest Sikh Gurdwara in both the US and Canada. It was founded in 1912 and the orginal building still stands at the site.
Good Deeds. Done Dirt Cheap!
Some of the the events that shape our community are done with very little in the way of resources. Some have been the result of hundreds and thousands of hours by unpaid people. They may not consider themselves to be volunteers as much as people with a vision of better things.
What can you be?
Where do people you see around you fit in? What are the limits to what they do?
We don't know unless you share with us. We don't have a special knowledge. You know more about your world than we do or ever will. If you share with us the stories and profiles of those special individuals and groups that touch you world, we can let others see what the Real Stockton is.

I hope you'll consider giving your support to the massive prison strike going on in Georgia right now. Inmates at several institutions in the state have coordinated the largest prison strike in U.S. history as a collective fight for their rights to educational opportunity, decent health care, access to their families, and an escape from cruel and unusual punishment.

Zin is a hip hop Pacifica Radio legend living in Houston who has a show called S.O.S. Radio in Texas. He also is an up and coming hip hop crooner, kind of like Nate Dogg, but with a Southern twang. He has a new album out called "Mental Graffiti," which is definitely some conscious mellow music to ride to. I touched down with the man with many faces, so that he could let y'all know a little bit about his personal history as well as his new album.

Ishmael Reed is one of the most read writers of his generation, along with Toni Morrison and Amiri Baraka, living in America. In 1962, Reed co-founded "East Village Other," a well known underground publication at the time, and was a member of the Umbra Writers Workshop, which helped to give rise to the Black Arts Movement. He has published nine novels, four collections of poetry, six plays, four collections of essays and a libretto. He currently lives in Oakland, and I approached him one day while he was visiting KPFA's studios to ask him what he thought about the state of affairs between the police and Oakland's Black community, with the backdrop of the police murder of Oscar Grant and, in a separate incident, the police murder of Lovelle Mixon, after Mixon allegedly killed four Oakland police officers.

Childbirth is a painful and difficult experience for most women, but Toya Murray says for her, it was torture. Like many other incarcerated women across New York state, she was shackled immediately before and after giving birth. "When it was due for me to have my baby, they shackled my hands and feet when I went into labor to go to the hospital," Murray said.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This climb is the next line right, perhaps 10meters, from the obvious line, Fuzz. The route starts in a tight stembox, and the crux of the climb is getting up out of the stembox into a right-facing corner. This is done on an awkward undercling handjam and juse below a 1.5" or 2" cam placement. The climb soon thereafter becomes a left-facing corner, but remains 2" or red camalot for quite some time, providing an enduro pump after the technical crux.Enjoy!
1.5" to 3.5". Crux is on 1.5-2", so take lots of those.

The Brookfield Zoo has a new arrival -- a baby boy giraffe that weighs 173 pounds and is 5-foot 9-inches tall.
The suburban Chicago zoo announced the birth on Tuesday. Zoo officials say mother Jasiri had the baby on June 21. The male calf is her first birth -- and experts say he could grow to 18-feet-tall.
He's the 59th giraffe born at the zoo. His father, Hasani, is on a breeding loan to Brookfield Zoo from Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, Kan.
Visitors to the zoo can see the mother and baby with the rest of the giraffe herd.

The final round of the 2011 British Open gets underway on Sunday as the field tees-off at Royal St. George in Sandwich, England. Because the third major of the year is across the pond, the time difference makes for an early start on Sunday morning, with the broadcast set to begin in the wee hours of the morning on the West Coast. But while coverage begins early, the final group of the day, Darren Clarke and Dustin Johnson, tee-off some three hours later as they battle for The Open Championship.
ESPN has the broadcast rights again on Sunday and will be with the British Open until it concludes in the early afternoon on the East Coast. The broadcast begins at 6 a.m. EDT and is set to run until 1:30 p.m., or whenever the final group finishes its round.
In addition to the broadcast, ESPN will also provide an online stream of the final round. The stream will begin at 6 a.m., at the same time as the broadcast, and can be found at ESPN3.com.

text: Well the verdict is out- these new Meshuggah re-releases claiming to be re-mastered are in fact a ploy for you to spend your hard earned $ on cool looking jewel cases and booklets-that's it. Not that this amazing album needed to be remastered in any way I was at least expecting to hear some oomph in volume/loudness. Guess what-there was none. I feel duped. Their is no change in sound quality from the original release-none. I listened to it in my car and my killer home audio-same sounding cd. This is b.s. The jewel case is an interesting design, but that is the only difference, hardly a reason to buy a cd. The extra songs are demo versions of songs off the DEI, and they are pretty pointless. Actually the song Aztec Two-Step is from the None ep, I never heard before. This song is actually pretty damn killer!. So if you never heard the song, just download it off iTunes and save yourself some $. I was prepared to buy the other new Meshuggah remasters, but not after hearing this one. Plus why re-release Contradictions Collapse w/the none ep? They just did that less than 10 yrs ago. Nuclear Blast dropped the ball on this one and it's just to get new Meshuggah fans to spend money since Meshuggah are now the hot metal act at the moment. I want my $ back for this scam of a so-called remaster!!!

I want to add this, but instead of taking it to my profile, it would take users to their own profile, and if the person wasn't logged in, then it would take it to say a login / register page.

I mentioned on Facebook and Twitter that there had been more adults coming every day to our club this week – which I originally called a "kids' club". The reality is that there have been activities for kids, youth, and adults.
We have had new adults every day. We've been learning the same verses as the kids – and actually, we've been doing the same crafts as the kids! Except that we fight over the colours more.
Tomorrow is the last day of the club – the grand finale!
By the way, it's also the last day of school! Well, actually, there is no school – just a closing program at Hannah's school. So we're all going to go in the morning to cheer her on – then on to the Vacation Bible School at night.
Here are the adults, gathered around for the study. Tonight we learned a great Gospel verse from James – God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. (Jam 4:6b)

DermaTopic (Deficient)
Herbal nourishment for atopic dermatitis.
According to Traditional Chinese Medecine, atopic dermatitis generally is a manifestation of "excess" (see DermaPhyte above) or deficient blood; these disorders usually respond quite well with TCM herbs.
Within TCM, "blood deficiency" symptom patterns include: pale or lavender colored tongue, chronic eczema with thick, dry, dark flaky skin with itching, crusting, lichenoid thickening of the skin and possible, fatigue, low back ache and weak limbs.
This formula is a combination of a classic blood nourishing formula (Si Wu Tang) and a wind pathogen dispelling formula (Xiao Feng San). These protocols have recently been made popular through the work of Steve Marsden, DVM.
There are three variations to this formula that specifically targets three major symptoms:
Si Wu Xiao Feng Yin modification #1 for purulent lesions includes: dandelion, forsythia and honeysuckle.
Si Wu Xiao Feng Yin modification #2 for hot spots includes: phellodendron, kochia, plantago.
Si Wu Xiao Feng Yin #3 for severe itch, includes: lithospermum, peony and moutan.
ORIGIN: Si Wu Xiao Feng Yin, Four Materials Dissipate Wind Beverage.
INGREDIENTS: Rehmannia root, red peony root, cnidium, angelica, schizonepeta, ledebouriella, mint, angelica pubescent, bupleurum, ginseng, jujube.
COMBINATION: Add Herbisone for strong allergies. Add Hot Spot External for topical cooling poultice.
- Itching.
- Allergic dermatitis.
- Puritis.
- Swelling.
- Cracking + peeling.
- Crusting + scaling.
- Fatigue.
- Insomnia.
- Weak limbs.
- Pale tongue.
- Lichenification.
- Scratching leading to redness.
Ideally mixed in with food twice a day. OK for extended use.
Small cats & dogs: 1/2-1 small scoop mixed in with food.
Medium dogs: 1-2 small scoops mixed in with food.
Large dogs: 2-3 small scoops mixed in with food.

Mr. Cattelan had just announced, in a New York Times article, that after his Guggenheim retrospective, he will retire. Reading this, we'd pictured the slim, refined Italian in tennis whites, sunglasses and a visor, sitting in a deck chair overlooking a golf course in Tampa, clutching a gin and tonic. The image was laughably discordant.
He's not exactly retiring. "I call it retirement, but it's about ending a period of work, and a certain type of practice. I'm not saying I won't do anything else. I'm just reinventing myself."
Preparing for "All" was a reckoning. "It was painful to work on it. I thought, maybe it's time to close a gate and open another one. Retiring, so to speak, was a good way to have freedom."
He handed us copies of his pictures-only magazine, Toilet Paper, which he will continue to produce, in retirement. "Whatever we do is going to end down there," he said of its title.
Toilet Paper is loaded with surreal images sprung from Mr. Cattelan's seemingly inexhaustible imagination. Some are touching: a young man holding the hand of a woman lost in an alcoholic stupor; others, tangily threatening: a rubber band, taut, aimed at a nipple. Its title reads as a self-deprecatory paean to print: we may sing to the high heavens the praises of the Internet, but nothing consumed online will ever be handy in the face of an empty roll.
"There is no story" to the display at the Guggenheim, Mr. Cattelan said, as there is no story to Toilet Paper. The nonhierarchical installation "has been fantastic to make peace with my mistakes, because works I don't want to see anymore are as important as the ones that are most sought after."
Along with iconic figures—the pope felled by a meteorite, a miniature, kneeling Hitler, a mini J.F.K. in a coffin—a persistent image in his oeuvre is himself. He's placed a pair of mini Cattelans in a bed; hung himself from a coat hook; emerged from the floor of a museum. "I've always used the classic formats. Popes—there are hundreds of years of portraits of them. Animals, horses—a super extra classic subject. Evil—a super extra classic subject. The self-portrait is another classic format. Maybe I abuse it a little bit."
He's initiated his art dealers, taping Massimo de Carlo to a wall, outfitting Emmanuel Perrotin as a giant pink penis/bunny rabbit. Market savvy—"My position is extremely independent"—he is unapologetic. "In the end, I'm the one producing. You can be the greatest dealer in the world but if you don't have the thing to sell, you're just an empty case."
In the '90s, having had no academic training, he used his art to teach himself "the rules of the art world." His ideas of it were "completely naïve."
From the vaults: 11 years ago, the author of this article ran the U.S. office of the London-based Art Newspaper. Next door was the office of the Milan-based magazine Flash Art, run by Massimiliano Gioni, now curator at the New Museum. The floor was populated by therapists of various kinds; the purring of their noise machines and the soporific odor of their aromatherapeutic oils drifted into our offices. The building once housed the studio of Marcel Duchamp. All of this is worth mentioning because it was the setting into which, occasionally, a tall, angular fellow Italian would enter to confer with Mr. Gioni, who was then, as is now well-known, doing public appearances as "Maurizio Cattelan."
Mr. Cattelan and Mr. Gioni, along with Ali Subotnick, now curator at Los Angeles's Hammer Museum, would go on to open their subversive "Wrong Gallery" in Chelsea, which was no more than a glass door. In 2006, they curated the Berlin Biennial, and opened a fake Berlin branch of Gagosian Gallery, merely a storefront embellished with a burnished plaque—knocks to the funny bone of the art market, then at its peak.
Mr. Cattelan once worked odd jobs, like custodian, postal worker, cook. For him, art was the triumph of imagination over tedium. "Becoming an artist for me was a way to save myself," he said. "It was a tool to emancipate myself, to escape a previous life of just surviving.
"I thought, in one or two years I could find myself without a penny. I thought, 'Are you willing to go to the lowest degree of life on the street?' and I thought, 'Yes, rather than have another day at this factory.'" His pieces have recently sold for millions of dollars.

Enjoyed your Maurizio Cattelan Surreal Squirrel Story & interview. Fairly certain this would have prompted a few new ideas by Maurizio, squirrels & death themes he mentioned serving as inspiration, but this squirrel one best not bent over a table, even with a gun. Yesterday in Central Park was passing some weedy growth after visiting 57 St galleries & suddenly a rustling– a giant squirrel bigger than a breadbox or even a really big rabbit popped up only 3 feet away — no, not large as a Yeti but considering his huge puffed tail, perhaps thinking so — confidently ambled & hopped through the undergrowth toward a few giant trees trunks felled by the storm now corpses but clearly otherwise had just been quite strong judging from their look.
Besides, over the past week following the Woodstock FB gallery dealer daily close up photo's who found a squirrel hit by a car — dying, but blinked at her so she picked it up & through a great deal of love & nurturing been healing it. Wow!

Johnson County Library Issues and Engagement Forum: The Kansas-Nebraska Act
- When: Thursday, February 16, 2012, 6:30 p.m.
- Where: Johnson County Central Resource Library, Overland Park
- Cost: Not available
- Age limit: Not available
- Categories: Library, Community
The Johnson County Library will play host to an issues and engagement forum about the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at Central Resource Library, 9875 W. 87th St., Overland Park.
Attendees can join fellow residents to discuss how they would advise President Franklin Pierce, who in 1854 faced a choice that would have a profound impact on the future of the Unites States. Should he give settlers in Kansas and Nebraska the right to vote on whether slavery would be permitted, or should he focus on practical considerations like the economy rather than moral rhetoric?
The forum is part of the library's 2011-2012 Legacies of the Civil War series. To register, call 913-826-4600 or go online to jocolibrary.org/civilwar.
Interpretive services and other accommodations for those with special needs are available by contacting library staff at least one week in advance of the program.

NZ Police want big brother powers
Alt Tv/Fleet FM Breakfast News
NZ Police want big brother powers
Police want the power to fingerprint people without the need to arrest or lay charges against them. The proposal was among those presented at the first in a series of public meetings last night outlining possible changes in the review of the 1958 Police Act. The new Act is expected to be passed into law next year. Police would like to be able to use the latest technology -- which includes mobile fingerprint scanners and, in the future, eye scanners -- while working on the streets, for checking against the national database. Chairman of the Council for Civil Liberties Michael Bott said this would be a concern. "The ability for police to, in a sense, fingerprint anyone, not even for the suspicion of a crime is a worrying trend and it's got Orwellian overtones that should be resisted," he said. At a time when there is an investigation into ill tempered, low intelligence recruits, at a time right after a major inquiry into Police rape culture which discovered that there was evidence of Police Officers raping, assaulting and lying to cover one another and concludes that Police Culture will not be able to change on their own, at a time when top police chief Clint Rickards and two of his cop mates were put on trial for 3 separate rape allegations – at this time do we honestly want to give cops MORE unrestricted powers like taking your fingerprints or eye ball scan for no reason whatsoever? We live in a democracy where the individual has rights and these rights are protected by the government a society that allows it's Police to take anyones fingerprints, not even for the suspicion of a crime, that's called a police state.

Allen skated onto Jackalopes ice and stole Game 1 of the South final. And as we've been shown the past two years, it's not a series until the Jackalopes go down 2-0. But I don't think Paul Gillis and his team want to roll the dice with another such situation.
It's a seven-game series, and I still like Odessa to win because the Jackalopes have displayed an ability to win on the road. Then again, so did Allen on Friday.
I didn't get to watch but the last five minutes of the game, but heard through the grapevine that two of Allen's goals came after dubious non-calls by Kevin Graber. Can anyone confirm or deny that?
Up north, it seems like the fans in Rapid City are taking umbrage with my Shreveport in five prediction, as one blog reader e-mailed me to say that on the Rush message board, "They're ready to welcome you with burning torches and pitchforks."
What do I say to that? Get in line. By the way, it seems another CHL blogger also sees the North final my way.
Finally, did any of you expect to see this movie (much better than I was expecting, by the way) and expect to run across a former CHL player's name in the credits? And since the movie was shot in Pittsburgh and after reading this story, it indeed seems to be the former member of our beloved Austin Ice Bats on film.
My friends, this is why you always stick around for the credits.
but (speaking of Pittsburgh hockey movies with former CHL/WPHL players) how does it compare to Sudden Death?
[ZR, you know Sudden Death lost any sense of realism when we were expected to believe the Vice President was attending Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. We know that no VP -- regardless of party -- would ever do that. Oh yeah, add the fact that Jean Claude Van Damme "acted" in it. -- GR]
I have to say, I take offense at the comment "burning torches and pitchforks" -- that makes us in SD comparable to the KKK -- something that I think is down-right offensive. Yes, I'd love you to come to a game up here in SD, to experience how the team has been able to rally a community that knew little to nothing, for the most part, about hockey, into a die-hard hockey town. Yes, I know the conference/divisions will most likely always give your posts a Southern edge, but it still would be nice every once in a while to see a positive, rather than a negative or tongue-in-cheek reference to the Rush...
While I may not always agree with you on your opinions/predictions, etc, and have often wondered what seems to be the reason you seemingly "attack" our Rush, I know it's the way of things, in journalism, in hockey conference/divisions, etc. At times, you have been spot on in your reporting and assessments of not only the Rush, but others. I look forward to continuing to read your blog in the future, and maybe one day seeing your opinion/outlook of the Rush change slightly.
[I don't believe the torches and pitchforks was a Klan reference, more like Frankenstein. I went to the Rush forum and read the posts, and they are what they are. -- GR]
Wow , you are as well liked in Rapid City as Heibert is by Kim ! I really don't think many outside the Rapid City area think the Rush can beat Bossier either. Many of the same folks that never thought Colorado would be swept I bet ! That is what makes the playoffs what they are.
For the record, I have stated that I would welcome you to RC with chocolate chip cookies and a basket full of puppies. It's just our way.
Picking a team to win a series is a far-cry from saying the other team has no chance to win the series.
IMO the match-ups favor the Bugs so I agree with Greg, and many others that think the Bugs will win the series. On the other hand I will be in no way shocked if the Rush are able to knock the Bugs out. No one in any sport can predict winners without fail.... there is a reason they play the games.
This just in.......black helicopters seen leaving the NRH area......headed north towards the Black Hills......

Pupils at Kew Green prep school learn to develop games with their Xbox controllers
2:00am Tuesday 24th June 2014 in News By Amy Dyduch
Schoolchildren proved they had top tech skills when they learned how to create their own video games.
Year 6 pupils at Kew Green Preparatory School, which said it places an emphasis on ICT, learned how to make their own video games with the help of education technology specialists ComputerXplorers Middlesex.
The children used Xbox controllers to design worlds and characters, while using programming language.
From September, primary schools throughout the country will have to teach computing classes with the emphasis on how to code and programme following Education Secretary Michael Gove's sweeping curriculum changes.
Neelam Parmar, head of ICT at the school, said: "This is such a fantastic opportunity for the children.
"With the help of ComputerXplorers we are ensuring that our pupils develop an early understanding of technology and how to use it in everyday learning."

TIFT COUNTY, GA (WALB) - George Wallace was one of the employees at the C.O.I Tift County site who was told about the closure Friday.
And said the news was very hard to swallow. "This company was up and running for a long time, and it was a prosperous company. And to just see it fold like this, it's a hurtful feeling."
The Tennessee based company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy at the end of July. And during the re-organization had to cut funds which led to their decision to close their Tift County location. "We distribute food to a lot of major restaurants like Ryan's, Applebee's Shoney's," said Wallace.
A company spokesperson said it was the Chapter 7 bankruptcy of RoadHouse Bar and Grill that left the company four million dollars in the hole. "Every company is like that. You know the economy is going down, and we just got to keep our heads afloat," said Wallace.
This is actually the second time this has happened to Wallace. "I was working right down the road at Tifton Aluminum when the same thing happened,"
But now the Tifton-Tift County Chamber of Commerce is working to help George and the other 200 employees find jobs. "We are trying to be self-reliant about the situation and have a committee called First Focus on Local Business," said President and CEO, Brad Day.
That group is made up of local and state agencies such as the state department of labor, the department of economic development and local temp agencies. "We bring the resources of the state and local government, the non-profit sector, and of the Chamber of Commerce, the local businesses, to help the folks that will be looking for work," said Day.
So that once COI's doors close for good, the people who worked there will still be able to use their skills throughout the community elsewhere.
Severance packages will be made available to some of the employees based on their years of service. The Tifton-Tift County Chamber of Commerce are already marketing the site to other potential businesses.

Prevent Kidney Disease
Learn more to reduce your risk of kidney disease and take the pledge to #preventkidneydisease.
A pack a day can pack a painful punch to the kidneys. In addition to causing lung cancer and lung disease, smoking is also associated with kidney disease, kidney cancer and bladder cancer. Smoking slows the blood flow to vital organs like the kidneys, causing damage. Think of smoking as stepping on the accelerator for any disease that you may have. So if you have kidney disease, smoking can make it even worse.
Diseases that damage the kidney, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, are also worsened when you smoke. Smoking can interfere with medications used to treat high blood pressure making them less effective and uncontrolled or poorly controlled high blood pressure is a leading cause of kidney disease. Smoking also can directly result in narrowing of blood vessels that leads to hardening of the arteries. Hardening of the arteries leads to nephrosclerosis, which is a form of kidney disease.
Quitting smoking is difficult, but it is one of the most important lifestyle changes that you can make to protect your kidneys and impact your overall health. To help get you started, the National Kidney Foundation offers 5 Tips to Quit Smoking.
Visit www.BecomeAnEX.org to find out more about quitting smoking, your triggers and other tools and resources. You'll find a free online plan that can help pave the way on your quest to quit, as well as logs to help you track your smoking patterns.

Somatics: Yogas of the West
According to Michele Miotto, a yoga teacher and teacher/practitioner of Body-Mind Centering in Santa Cruz, California, BMC teaches that each body system (e.g., the muscles, the skeleton, the fluids, the organs) initiates and supports movement uniquely. To aid her students in gaining greater awareness of their bodies, Miotto offers yoga classes that incorporate BMC principles. In these classes, she explores how the organs provide a sense of volume and internal support for the musculoskeletal system. For example, to help students connect with their large intestines so they can release more deeply and move more naturally, Miotto may use water balloons as props to simulate the movement and quality of their organs.
Continuum's founder, Emilie Conrad, says that its emphasis is on "the body as a process rather than a bounded form." Conrad believes that the teachings of Continuum can help us to explore all the interconnected levels of existence, from the movement of our smallest cell to what she calls "the dynamic flow of a human being," to larger groupings such as society, the planet, and beyond. As Bonnie Gintis, an osteopath and Continuum instructor in Soquel, California, says, "Continuum is more a philosophy of life than an exercise technique."
Since bodies are mostly made up of water, Continuum emphasizes fluidity. The breath is considered the source of all movement. Creating wave motions within the body by using a variety of breaths and sounds is an important component of the discipline. Continuum can help anyone, including yoga practitioners, gain mobility and fluidity. Also, because Continuum can be approached so gently, it can be especially useful in healing from very serious injuries like spinal cord trauma.
Moshe Feldenkrais was an Israeli physicist and judo black belt who developed his somatic work to rehabilitate his own crippled knees. After much intensive research and experimentation, Feldenkrais concluded that simply stretching and strengthening muscles wasn't the best way to transform the body. Instead, the nervous system had to be retrained to send different messages to the muscles.
Over decades, Feldenkrais developed not only a hands-on method for this retraining, but also more than 12,000 "awareness through movement" lessons that can be taught to larger groups. By slowly and gently moving the body in the most efficient ways, these lessons allow the nervous system to learn new and better habits of movement and posture.
"Feldenkrais is much less demanding than yoga," says Michael Curnett, a Feldenkrais practitioner in Santa Cruz, California. Curnett thinks yoga students sometimes encounter difficulty in yoga poses simply because they don't understand how to perform one of the needed actions�say, for example, they struggle with Headstand because they can't get a lift through the spine. Because Feldenkrais lessons break down activities into very small components and don't require much muscular effort, they can help yogis learn to integrate the spine into movement one vertebra at a time.

LONGVIEW,TX (KLTV)- In Harrison County, a roaring blaze stopped interstate traffic for several hours, and caused hundreds of evacuations. It started around 11 a-m Sunday on Lansing Switch road, near Interstate 20, just west of Hallsville. It started on Lansing Switch road as a spark, but within minutes it was roaring, and threatening dozens of homes.
"The winds made it really tough to contain it and stop it, we had several spots we thought we had out initially and the wind kicked it back up," says west Harrison county firefighter Blake Lyon.
5 departments were called to the blaze which had to be fought for hours.
"Hope this doesn't spread this far, it was just flames shooting out of the trees, coming across the hay meadow and coming this way," says area resident Ritchie Thompson.
The fire quickly moved into the tree lines, and homeowners were preparing for the worst. I-20 had to be shut down for hours. Hundreds of residents had to be quickly evacuated, some as they were fighting the fire themselves.
"Everybody was grabbing garden hoses and shovels trying to put it out themselves till the fire department come here, I hate to see it happening," says evacuated homeowner Craig Twombly.
Farmers tried to save their hay with the fire coming at them.
"What started out as a small fire because of power lines down turned into what we call tell so far about 60 acres," says Lyon.
After over 6 hours the fire was contained. One firefighter did receive minor injuries to his hand. According to fire crews, no homes were damaged.
The interstate has now been re-opened.

"Transformers: Fall of Cybertron" PC Version Image Quality Comparison
Many of you may be considering getting the PC version of "Fall of Cybertron", but may be wondering how the graphics hold up on the PC. I figured I might as well do a quick comparison of the graphics settings so that you all know what you're getting.
Overall the graphics look quite nice. They won't win any best graphics awards, but the art design works well and is visually appealing.The PC version does have graphics settings, but you only get it in the form of 4 presets, Extra, High, Mid, and Low. The game is capped at 60fps, and with a GTX 570 it runs buttery smooth on all settings for me.
All screenshots were captured at 1920x1200 with the Steam screen shot tool. I recommended opening each image in it's own tab, as it makes it easier to see the differences. Since uploading an image into my post also causes it to be compressed down to 110x688 I'll also include a link to the uncompressed image below each of the screenshots.
OK, so let's get into some comparisons.
In these shots it's fairly easy to see the difference between High, Mid, and Low. Mid lowers the texture resolution and simplifies the lighting, and Low drops the texture resolution even further. The difference between Extra and High is a bit harder to pin down though. As far as I can tell the only difference is that Extra adds a filter that softens the image a bit.
Let's look at another scene, this time with a large draw distance.
Once again I have a hard time seeing any difference between Extra and High other than the softer image on Extra. The real surprise here is how well Mid and Low hold up. Despite the significantly lowered textures, they still look decent, and I feel that the lower quality would not detract from immersion at all.
OK, so let's do one last comparison between Extra and High.
At first I thought that the softness of the Extra setting was supposed to be a depth of field filter, but this shot shows that the depth of field is a separate effect from the softness, as both Extra and High seem to display the depth of field at the same quality. Please note that the lighting difference on Prime is due to a flickering light in the hallway, and is not due to graphics settings.
When it comes down to it, I would recommend running the game on the High settings. Without the blur filter the texture details are sharper, and there appears to be no loss of quality in other areas. My best guess is that the blur filter is supposed to be post processing anti-aliasing, but doesn't work very well as there are still jaggies. To get a better effect you could run the game on High, and force FXAA through your GPU drivers.

High school pitcher and potential first round pick Stephen Gant died Tuesday of an apparent suicide. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
From the article:
"We are all deeply saddened for Gloria, Tony, his brothers and sister as well as the many friends that Stephen had. All we can do is be supportive for the family and be there for them."
I had Stephen ranked as my 91st best right-handed pitching prospect, but he should have been much higher in retrospect. Here's what I said about him:
Stephen Gant, RHP, 6'1 175, TN, HS: A Vanderbilt commit, Gant's fastball usually sits 88-90, but has been reported as high as 93. He has a clean effortless arm action and maintains his velocity well. Mixes in a promising low 70s curveball as well.
I will leave him on the list at number 19 to honor his memory and so that he won't be forgotten. The number reflects his age, and is also the reverse of his original ranking.
