Viktoria represents a bit of a mystery.
AS A native to the cold wintry landscape of Kiev, her positive and happy disposition is a stark contrast to the sprawling and domineering city that surrounds her. Her physical attributes are no less mysterious and alluring with a full head of raven black hair balanced by snow white skin and eyes that pierce straight to a mans heart.
Both a fashion model and a trained dancer, Viktoria is no stranger to working hard and pushing her limits. In her spare time she enjoys walking the boards of a local theater and feels modeling is a natural blend of both acting and dancing. A lover of "Paris Fashion" as she puts it, Viktoria believes a silk scarf is the perfect accessory.
When worn by the lovely Viktoria, we are inclined to agree.

Love the idea that people could have seen her in the window from the outside. Very sexy girl.

olena and viktoria could be a dynamic duo.. both have excellent features but the two together a bit of sensory overload I think both looked better ontheir separate galleries would like to see each of them but only on individual galleries

|sirstefanofb Australia
The site of these two gorgeous girls standing totaaly naked on blocks, brought fantasies to mind of an ancient egyption slave market... my mind took me back through time, where I was fortunate to out-bid the opposition and purchased both girls for my private 'collection'. I had better stop there as I'm sure you dont want to read what happened to them, once we arrived home, now do you?... Sir Stefan
|don Canada
two beauties . . . . Viktoria looks sweet and innocent and Olena looks hot and . . . . . well . . . . not innocent!
|ardunbye United Kingdom
Olena and Viktoria T. duo A MEMO TO PETTER:I and many like I has only got 2 I's which R not enough for us(as in bus,not shoes)to take in all that's lovely about this set. Now those in HawaII have a couple spare I's and if I get glasses, I will have 4 I's. So, I'm getting glasses and moving to HawaII THEN eye'll be happy.
|Mark United States
Olena and Viktoria Olena and Viktoria are a fantastic duo! Fabulous pairing of the duo as they provide a beautiful compliment to one another. Art at its finest! Each are exhibited on those blocks as true works of art. Nudity in a pure and artistic form. Absolutely wonderful!

Viktoria T set shots Flippancy first: I just could not see a tea set anywhere. (-T.set shots). Now the real stuff:- Usually I enjoy Hegre's girls for their aesthetic value BUT Viktoria brings out the baser animal instincts in me and I would love to be very naughty with her. (very naughty indeed).
|Jason Chang United States
She is very beautiful and somewhat tanned. I love tan. Just wish that she was in the new model so I can see the xxl pics. Some great closeup pictures, by the way.
|Andrew United States
truth and beauty Viktoria is beautiful, sassy, and elegant - I really like the extreme closeup - it doesn't work with every shoot - this one is extraordinary - talk about being there!
|steve turner Australia
Viktoria As a full time pro photographer for 20years working in advertising and fine art she is possibly the best i have seen she works with the photographer and the result is brilliant,if she comes to Australia she has my booking now

|ardunbye United Kingdom
Viktoria portraits They say 'A picture's worth a thousand words' and if true, all these pictures end "..ck her".
Viktoria T It is a wonderful set, including "Viktoria Elegance". She has a breathtaking beauty. Wish her a great future, maybe we will see her again on this site.Hope so :-) Hannes
|Jeff-USA United States
Viktoria Frencheuse I have to say Petter that this is some of your best work yet. A nice long set of this raven haired beauty, crystal clear photos featuring her taking everything off. I much prefer your studio sets where the model ends up totally nude from head to toe. I felt Viktorias previous set was ruined by the fact that you had her leave her boots on, but you made up for that in this set, i love how your have her sexily remove her cute boots to reveal her very pretty bare feet! She has stunning bare feet, rivaling any of your models. I also have to comment on Photo 101, this is one of my favorite poses of all time.I love how her shapely legs are up in the air showcasing the soles of her stunning bare feet!!! I only wish this exact same pose was featured in every one of your photo sets!!! All told a beautiful model with a great body posed perfectly. Keep up the great work and i'll remain a happy member!! Thanks a bunch.
|wilson United States
very excellent
|Randy United States
Viktoria is a stunning woman! The lighting and posing of Petter's gallery is beautiful.
|steve turner Australia
A Stunner There are models /supermodels/and Viktoria, a comment from someone who shoots 365 days a year worked with the worst and best this is a prime example of how to get it right, she cant do a bad pose and PH has the know how to shoot her,work with her, and get the crops right. In my opinion her work is some of the best i have seen ever..Steve from Sydney Australia
|GERBOU France
Wonderful very erotic set. Viktoria offer us all what we want and like to see of her magnificent body, still enlighted by a perfect setting and perfect lighting. By the way, what means 'frencheuse'? I'm French, but never heard that word before.
|Jim United States
Viktoria Now that I have taken a closer look, I can see why most people vote this sweet woman as their number one choice. although Yanna is my numero uno, by far, I now see what Viktoria has to offer. She is supernova hot.
|luv_yanna United States
Excellence! This model is just devastatingly beautiful, she is a great poser and she really comes "alive" in her pictures. This kind of artistry can only come from a collaboration of great model and great photographer. I am in awe and I can not express how much I appreciate what I've just seen.
|Ralph Moellers Germany
The new design Very, very well done everybody. The new website design is excellent and makes a good site even better. Thank you for offering 3000 pixel archives now. I had to download pic by pic before. Thanks a lot! ralph

Steve the photographer Australia. Book her in for me if she comes to Sydney.
|luv_yanna United States
Stunning woman. Here is a model that is quite nearly perfect; she is beautiful and her beauty is captured so well in these photos. With all her stunning features, I have to single out her breasts for even higher praise. Mr. Hegre has photographed her breasts so perfectly that I will be seeing them in my mind for days to come.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes
Best Argument: Yes
Audience Favored: Yes (65%)
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Bye Windows, hi Android
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Of course Android-based PCs can replace Windows! Have you really looked at Windows 8.x's adoption numbers? Microsoft defenders like to spin them, but the bottom line is that neither consumers nor enterprises are buying it.
That leaves an opening for another desktop system. That system can be Android. It's already popular. It's already the dominant operating system on both tablets and smartphones And, unlike Windows 8.x's Metro interface, Android interface works just fine on PCs.
You don't have to believe me. Lenovo and HP believe users want Android on the desktop. You know, the world's number one and number two PC manufacturers. Two other companies you may have heard of, AMD and Intel, also see a future for Android on the PC. Last, but not least, there's this little business named Google backing up Android.
Does Microsoft have any PC friends left? I don't think so. With Surface, Microsoft has annoyed the hell out of its partners.
With Windows wounded and Android's already the top operating system on two of the big three personal computing platforms, why can't Android be number one not all three?
It can happen.
Android is no PC saviour
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: Sales of desktop and notebook systems are plummeting as consumers choose to spend their money on smartphones and tablets, so PC OEMs have to come up with ways to make PCs sexy again. And one idea that some OEMs are trying is replacing Windows with ... Android.
Yes, Android. The same Android operating system that powers hundreds of millions of smartphones and tablets.
No one has explained the theory behind this to me, but I think it goes something like this. People aren't buying Windows-powered PC, but they are buying smartphones and tablets by the millions. Many of these devices are powered by Android, so the reason that people aren't buying PCs much be down to the fact that they aren't running Android. So, all you need to do to sell PCs is put Android on them.
Hmmm, while I'm all for innovation, I really don't think that this is going to amount to much, and it certainly won't disrupt the PC market.

Hops has been used as a calmative, nervine, stomachic, sedative and hypnotic. It has been considered especially useful in alleviating nervous stomach conditions and in helping produce sleep. It is also a diuretic and vermifuge. One of the most popular folk uses is in a "hops filled pillow" which, when used to replace a standard pillow, is said to produce non-narcotic sleep.
Hops has an overriding bitter taste due to the antibiotic bitter acids, humulone and lupulone. These irritating bitter acids, together with volatile oils, stimulate (primarily through irritation) the urinary tract and the lungs to purge themselves of toxins. This results in diuretic and expectorant effects. The oils also trigger the production of digestive fluids, aiding efficient digestion.
The sedative and antispasmodic properties of hops are apparently due to the various flavonoids present in the flowers of the plant.
Contain bitter compounds that have a sedative effect and relieve smooth muscle spasms, increase the flow of urine and are antiseptic. Hops is an excellent herbal source of niacin. It has been used to treat insomnia, painful urination, urinary tract infections, spastic colons and anxiety.
Culpeper wrote: "…to open obstructions of the liver and spleen, to cleanse the blood, to loosen the belly, to cleanse the veins from gravel, and provoke urine. The decoction of the tops of Hops, as well of the tame as the wild, works the same effects. In cleansing the blood they help to cure the French diseases, and all manner of scabs, itch, and other breakings-out of the body; as also all tetters, ringworms, and spreading sores, the morphew and all discoloring of the skin. The decoction of the flowers and hops, do help to expel poison that anyone hath drank. A syrup made of the juice and sugar, cures the yellow jaundice, eases the head-ache that comes of heat, and tempers the heat of the liver and stomach, and is profitably given in long and hot agues that rise in choler and blood. Both the wild and the manured are of one property, and alike effectual in all the aforesaid diseases."
The sedating aspect of the herb on the nervous system was not lost on early practitioners, either. Though hops were at first thought to engender melancholy, Ellingwood considered it specific for marked cases of nerve irritation and wakefulness where anxiety and worry are the cause. He recommended it for the following pathologies: hysteria, insomnia, acute local inflammations, facial neuralgia, delirium tremens, and sexual excitement. King's went on to add: "They are principally used for their sedative or hypnotic action – producing sleep, removing restlessness, and abating pain, but which they often fail to accomplish. A pillow stuffed with hops has long been a popular remedy for procuring sleep. Hops, as well as lupulin, are useful in delirium tremens to allay the morbid excitement and vigilance, while at the same time it exerts its stomachic effects. It is extremely efficient in dyspepsia where restlessness and a brooding disposition are prominent features. Fermentative dyspepsia, with consequent eructations, often yields to hops or lupulin. Externally, in the form of a fomentation alone, or combined with boneset or other bitter herbs, hops have proved beneficial in pneumonia, pleurisy, gastritis, enteritis; also as an application to painful swellings or tumors."
Hops has and is being used in China primarily as a disinfectant to treat various forms of leprosy, tuberculosis, bacterial dysentery, and, most recently, antibiotic resistant staph infections.
Indicated Usages - External:
Has been used in the following:
Uses: Hops makes for a bitter tea. For that reason, we use it most often in tincture combinations pertaining to problems sleeping, stress, anxiety, and stomach and liver problems. Like many other bulk herbs, we add it to many dishes (salads, meat dishes, soups, stews, etc.) in small amounts for added nutrition and fiber without affecting the flavor. Hops can be used to benefit men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing) and children. It can be used as often as you would like.
Storage: It should be kept in an airtight container and stored in a dark, dry, and cool place.

I was delighted to receive such a generous amount of hops in the mail today. I right away made a good amount of tincture and looking forward to using it for amy nervous stomache which I have had since childhood, and some insomnia issues due to menopause. They look beautiful and have enough to share with friends who are going to make blends out of them too.
Posted by Lisa Hauri on 11th Oct 2013
We have 2 horses and we trim their feet ourselves. Giving them each a couple handfuls of hops (mixed in wheat bran and some other herbs from this site) about half an hour before we trim and they will just stand there for hours. Makes the chore a little bit easier. We also give our horses Chaste Tree berries - I left feedback there as well.

Gear looks fine. Your well over hit cap and soft expertise (almost hard expertise cap).
If you can, change your sigil. Your defense capped without it, so spend a few Valor Emblems and get the Sigil of Awareness Sigil of Awareness - Item - World of Warcraft
Any particular reason why you skipped over Black Ice? That boosts the dps on your Howling Blast and Frost Strike, which increases threat. Same with Glacier Rot.
Drop Virulence - your almost Hit capped without it, so it's not worth a single point, let alone two. I would drop Deathchill, as I find that's only good for initial agro for AoE pulls - if you need Deathchill to hold agro, chances are your DPS is going to pull agro later into the fight, anyways.
Merciless Combat is useless for Tanking - it only comes into affect at the end of a fight, and you need help for the whole thing.
Icy Reach is a horrible talent. It only works for the initial pull on bosses and then goes to waste. Use Death Grip, if you want to do a range pull or Unholy Command.
Hungering Cold - people like this, I don't. I depend on my HB too much during AoE pulls. If it's a CC fight (like most trash is in Ulduar25), I don't use HB. In my opinion, drop it.
I only put 4 points into Killing Machine. From what I read, the rank determines the proc/minute the talent has. So, rank 1 is 1/min, rank 2 is 2/min, etc. With four ranks, I get a proc every 15 seconds, as opposed to a proc every 12 seconds, but I get a free talent point.
So, if you take my advice, that frees you up with 8 talents. Which, go perfectly into Black Ice and Glacier Rot, which should fix your threat problems (your looking at a 30% dps increase for your frost spells).
My talents: The World of Warcraft Armory
Now, on to Glyphs.
If your frost tanking, Glyph of Howling Blast is a must. HB puts out as much damage as Obliterate (more if it crits) and procs with Rime. Having as many enemies frost fevered as possible is a must, to reduce damage done. This would take care of your Diesease Glyph and smiplify your rotation, since you won't be needing to cast Pestielnce as much.
Unbreakable Armor isn't great. The Glyph doesn't make it much better. I think unglyphed, I had it absorbing normal melee attacks from a Ulduar boss for about 1/4, and those are the light attacks. As well, Death and Decay isn't going to be a major agro holder. It's good for initial agro, but it's not going to work in the long wrong - it's too weak and takes up too many runes.
My opinion, replace Death and Decay and Unbreakable Armor glyphs with two of these three: Obliterate, Frost Strike, or Rune Strike. These three are your threat abilities. If you are going to hold an enemy's attention, these are the guys who are going to do it for you. You need to boost them up, if holding threat is a problem.

Act 2 No 5. Song: I fired each barrel (Mr Grigg)
Act 2 No 6. Finale: Have pity, sir! (All)
Rita is left alone and sings a song contrasting the shepherd's happiness with her own loneliness ('Only the night wind'). But the old shepherd now approaches, and reassures Rita; finally he reveals himself, and he (Vasquez) and Rita sing a rapturous duet of love and restored hope ('A guard by night').
Adolphus Cimabue Grigg, an English traveller, now enters. He has come with his camera to capture the local scenery ('From rock to rock'). But he himself is captured – by Sancho and José, the brigand lieutenants – as the first stranger to pass ('Hullo! What's that?'). José and Sancho celebrate with a call to dance the bolero, a request which mystifies Mr Grigg. He is informed by the brigands that he must become leader of the band, and husband to Inez.
The ancient rites of the Ladrones now commence with a flamboyant Dance. Mr Grigg is duly invested with the Sacred Hat of office ('Slave, take my robe … Hail to the ancient Hat!'), and the Company sing and dance in celebration.
Act II
The second act opens with a song from Count Vasquez, who, in his capacity as an old shepherd, is acting as guard to Rita ('Wake, gentle maiden'). His place is taken by Sancho, who promptly falls asleep. José and Inez now enter. They have formed a plot to kill Sancho, so that they are free to marry each other. According to their scheme, the new captain (Mr Grigg himself) will kill Sancho, and then be killed in his turn in retaliation by the rest of the band. The two sing a stirring duet ('Let Hidalgos be proud').
Rita, alone, sings of her increasing concern, and of her hope that Vasquez will come to the rescue ('He will return').
Sancho, however, has overheard the plot while ostensibly asleep, and now warns Grigg of what is planned. Fulfilling his fears, in a blood-curdling trio, Inez and José inform Grigg that he must provide them with Sancho's head ('Silence! Silence! … Who'd to be Robber-Chief aspire'). Overwhelmed, Grigg now also falls asleep.
Sancho now decides to desert his comrades, leaving Grigg to the mercy of Inez and José. On Inez and José re-entering, Grigg describes to them his desperate but unavailing attempts to despatch Sancho ('I fired each barrel'). Rita now seeks his aid ('Have pity, sir!'), which he gallantly offers, but the situation is saved by Count Vasquez, who enters with a group of soldiers. The brigands decide to join the army, Count Vasquez and Rita are reunited, and Mr Grigg returns with relief to London. The opera ends in high spirits as all join in a general dance.

Clojure has a couple of macro-like features built right into the reader, providing shorthand notation for commonly needed constructs. However, unlike real macros, which are built on a sound conceptual framework that guarantees arbitrary composability (macro calls can contain macros and expand into other macros), the different macro-like features in the reader don't always play well together.
Consider the following piece of code:
(defmacro foo [x] `(map #(identity %) [~x]))
At first sight, nothing looks wrong with this, other than it doesn't do anything useful. But any use of this macro causes an error message:
(foo [:a :b]) java.lang.Exception: Can't use qualified name as parameter: user/p1__3328
What's going on here? The error message hints at a problem with a function argument. The only function being defined is here
#(identity %), which uses a shorthand notation for function literals expanded by the reader. Let's see what the macro call expands to:
(macroexpand-1 '(foo [:a :b]))
(clojure.core/map (fn* [user/p1__3328] (clojure.core/identity user/p1__3328)) [[:a :b]])
So here's the problem:
#(identity %) is expanded by the reader into
(fn* [p1__3328] (identity p1__3328)). This is a perfectly valid function literal, but the other reader feature used here, syntax-quote, doesn't know about function literals. It takes the expanded function literal as an arbitrary form and does namespace resolution on all symbols. This leads to a namespace-qualified symbol for a function parameter, which is not legal Clojure syntax.
Moral: use reader features sparingly, ideally one at a time. Except for syntax-quote, they only save you a couple of keystrokes, a convenience that you may end up paying a high price for in terms of debugging time.

What people are saying about Truly Nolen of Tempe
I have been a Realtor in Scottsdale AZ for over 20 years. I have met and know a lot of people in the pest control business. Five years ago my families home had termites coming through the ceiling when returned from a holiday. One of my calls was to Truly Nolen. I chose your company because of the great warranty special you were offering at the time. A year after the service was completed I came to find out that the "free 5 year warranty" did not exist. It seems the sales person, who is no longer with the company sold me a warranty your company didn't offer. Within a week 3 of your employees met me at my home to work it out. Truly Nolen honored the warranty. I was happy. Every year I receive a call to schedule an annual check up with one of your State Certified Inspectors. Yesterday Brandon Gillespie showed up at my door. He is why I decided to send you an email. Brandon was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. When I opened the door the first thing I noticed was a big smile and "Hi I'm Brandon with Truly Nolen". It was 8am on a Monday morning we had a home full of family from out of town and recently been hit by the flu. I let Brandon know our circumstances and he was extremely respectful, thorough yet considerate and very patient with us. He identified numerous pests inside and outside. He offered plenty of tips and discussed your services in detail. Because of people like Brandon and your company doing the right thing, I will be happy to refer my family, friends and clients to Truly Nolen.

Although divided into seven parts, La Canzone dei Ricordi presents an admirable homogeneity and unity of inspiration. It expresses nostalgic dreams, regrets of days and things long gone. The first section can be considered as an introduction: the dreamer recalls … It is as delicate in its inspiration as in its orchestration. The second section evokes the colourful song of a stream: rippling muted strings suggest the continuous murmur of water, and playful woodwinds the soft breeze. The third, twice interrupted by the same refrain, is a serenade. Pizzicato strings and lively arabesques on the clarinet allude to a strumming guitar. The fourth is a sort of barcarolle portraying a little boat as it drifts away upon the sea, while Halcyons soar in the sky and Sirens sing mysterious songs. The fifth relates how, for a brief moment, the murmur of the breeze carries back lost illusions and deceptive hope for love. The sixth part is the longest and starts in a restless and sombre mood: the woods were witness to betrayed love. There is a sudden moment of brightness when a calmer section follows, taking over the melody stated by the orchestra at the very beginning of the piece. This is a song of regret and, at the same time, of thankfulness. The seventh part concludes the cycle in the same way it began, as the dreamer visualizes once more those lost days of love.

Las Vegas
10 April 1997
Las Vegas
Las Vegas pre-production - Icon in the making. The huge golden arch arrives - and looks awesome, visible from some distance beyond the stadium.
Pre-production, Vegas.
The blur rolls on. Its going fine, no major disasters, but still agonisingly slow. Its like pulling teeth waiting for the disparate parts of the production to arrive from literally all over the world. Yesterday's great and glorious victory was the installment of the upper arch - the (huge) top piece of the arch that sits above the P.A. It arrived on Tuesday and was assembled on the floor of the stadium, making quite a sizable and extremely yellow building, with ample room to wander round inside. After much muttering about wind loading and some rumbles of doom about not being able to use it everywhere, all of which I chose to ignore, the thing was hoisted aloft by crane and all was well. Its pretty magnificent, the scale and the colour are wonderful. Its visible from a long way away - outside the stadium - which of course it will be in many of the stadiums that we play. An icon is in the making. Last night under lights it looked fabulous and the ropelight chases are just out of this world. Mark Fisher, architect of the staging and another key collaborator, were just laughing ourselves silly. Should give the band a thrill to see it from outside the stadium when they get here. The stadium sits on the arrival flight path for the airport, so with a bit of luck they'll see it from the air. A plane lands in Vegas every 90 seconds, bringing in the hordes of cash wielding hopefuls...
Video world continues to crawl along.
There's been much angst and concern over screen feeds, software control and many other things which are way out of my hands. However, the one third of the screen which is up and running has been tweaked and adjusted and looks very good. Clear, bright & stable, so there's enough encouragement to keep morale high, though Monica Caston, our show video director, has been firmly planted in hell for a good while now. I'm doing O.K., frustrated and encouraged. Its a waiting game and time is not on our side, so I am careful to chose my moments of direct involvement wisely. An amount of pessimism and nay-saying is coming from the usual quarters, - the endless angst and drama over the simplest tasks - but overall morale is high and whingeing is encouragingly low (certainly compared with the ZooTV pre-production experience). We have an extraordinary amount of great people on staff, who are are most keen and helpful in finding solutions, rather than pointing out how difficult all this is. Consequently much of the old battle ground has given way and my task is mainly to keep the vibe buoyant and firmly squash any negativity when it emerges. Still, we have very definitely won - getting through the early battles at the design stage has reaped huge benefits here.
We have got a good deal of lighting programming done, and a daily routine is emerging. We programme through the night, go to bed around 4 or 5am, get up at noon or 1pm, bagel with Bruce at 3, catch the shuttle bus to the venue at 5pm, dinner in catering and start all over again. Its looking good. People keep asking me how I feel now I can see how it looks after so long in the design process. The odd thing is, having looked at the models and CAD renderings for so long, when you see it in the flesh, you feel like you've seen it before. It looks EXACTLY like the CAD drawings, so as well as being new and exciting, it does also look terribly familiar. As they say, "it'll be nice when its finished".

Phenylketonuria (fen-ul-ke-toe-NU-re-uh) is a birth defect that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in your body. Phenylketonuria is caused by a mutation in a gene that helps create the enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine.
Amino acids are the building blocks for protein, but too much phenylalanine can cause a variety of health problems. People with phenylketonuria (PKU) — babies, children and adults — need to follow a diet that limits phenylalanine, which is found mostly in foods that contain protein.
Babies in the United States and many other countries are screened for phenylketonuria soon after birth. Although phenylketonuria is rare, recognizing phenylketonuria right away can help prevent serious health problems.
Newborns with phenylketonuria initially don't have any symptoms. Without treatment, though, babies usually develop signs of PKU within a few months. Phenylketonuria symptoms can be mild or severe and may include:
The most severe form of the disorder is known as classic PKU. Children with untreated classic PKU usually develop obvious, permanent mental retardation.
Less severe forms of PKU — sometimes called mild or moderate PKU — have a smaller risk of significant brain damage, but most children with these forms of the disorder still require a special diet to prevent mental retardation and other complications.
A woman who has PKU and becomes pregnant is at risk of another form of the condition called maternal PKU. In the past, people with PKU may have been told it was OK to stop following a low-phenylalanine diet once they'd reached their teen years. But, doctors now know that if a woman doesn't follow the diet prior to and during pregnancy, blood phenylalanine levels can become out of range and harm the developing fetus. Because of this, and other reasons, doctors recommend that anyone with PKU follow the low-phenylalanine diet for life.
Although babies born to mothers with high phenylalanine levels may have complications at birth, most don't actually inherit PKU and won't need to follow a PKU diet after birth. However, these babies have a high risk of being born with:
Seek medical advice in these situations:
A genetic mutation causes PKU. The defective gene contains the instructions for making an enzyme needed to process the amino acid called phenylalanine. Amino acids are the building blocks for protein. In a person with PKU, this gene is defective, causing a complete or near-complete deficiency of the enzyme. Without the enzyme necessary to process phenylalanine, a dangerous buildup of this amino acid can develop when a person with PKU eats foods that are high in protein, such as milk, cheese, nuts or meats. This can eventually lead to serious health problems.
For a child to inherit PKU, both the mother and father must have and pass on the defective gene. This pattern of inheritance is called autosomal recessive. It's possible for a parent to have the defective gene, but not have the disease. This is called being a carrier. Most often, PKU is passed to children by parents who are carriers of the disorder, but don't know it.
Both parents must pass along a copy of the mutated PKU gene for their child to develop the condition. If only one parent has the PKU gene, there's no risk of passing PKU to a child.
The gene defect occurs mainly in people from Europe and the U.S. The disorder is much less common in Asians and Latinos. Africa has the lowest rates of phenylketonuria.
Children of mothers who have PKU but who didn't follow the PKU diet during pregnancy also may be affected. Although these children don't often have PKU, they do have serious consequences of the high level of phenylalanine in the mother's blood.
Untreated PKU can lead to:
PKU is generally diagnosed through newborn screening. Once your child is diagnosed with PKU, you'll likely be referred to a medical center or specialty clinic with experience in managing PKU. In addition to a doctor who specializes in treating PKU, you'll also need the assistance of a dietitian with expertise in the PKU diet. Most medical centers with a medical genetics department will also have a dietitian trained in PKU management.
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to arrive well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment.
Your appointment time may be limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time with your child's doctor. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For PKU, some basic questions to ask include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Newborn blood testing identifies almost all cases of PKU. All 50 states in the United States require newborns to be screened for PKU. Many other countries also routinely screen infants for PKU.
If you have PKU or a family history of PKU, your doctor may recommend screening tests before pregnancy or birth. It's possible to identify PKU carriers through a blood test.
A PKU test is conducted a day or two after your baby's birth. In the test, a nurse or lab technician collects a few drops of blood from your baby's heel or the bend in your baby's arm using a needle or lancet. A laboratory tests the blood sample for certain metabolic disorders, including PKU. The test isn't done before the baby is 24 hours old or before the baby has ingested some protein in the diet to ensure accurate results. If you don't deliver your baby in a hospital or are discharged soon after the birth, you may need to schedule a newborn screening with your pediatrician or family doctor.
Your baby may also have additional tests to confirm the diagnosis, including more blood tests and urine tests. You and your baby may also undergo genetic testing to identify gene mutations.
If your baby's blood sample shows a high level of phenylalanine, he or she will need to be fed a special formula. Your doctor and dietitian can help you find the right type of formula to feed your baby.
The main phenylketonuria treatment is a strict diet with very limited intake of phenylalanine, which is mostly found in foods containing protein. Doctors used to believe it was OK for a person with PKU to stop the diet in adolescence, but today, doctors recommend sticking to the diet and PKU formula for life. Without PKU formula, your body can't get enough of essential nutrients called amino acids that are crucial for growth and general health. For example, the amino acid tyrosine is usually a byproduct of phenylalanine metabolism, a process that doesn't occur in people with PKU.
A safe amount of phenylalanine differs for each person. Your doctor will determine a safe amount through regular review of diet records, growth charts and blood levels of phenylalanine. Frequent blood tests will monitor PKU levels as they change over time, especially during childhood growth spurts and pregnancy. In general, the idea is to consume only the amount of phenylalanine that's necessary for normal growth and body processes, but no more.
Another possible addition to the PKU diet may be a supplement called neutral amino acid therapy powder or tablets. This supplement may block some absorption of phenylalanine. However, this is an emerging treatment that hasn't yet been well-studied. Ask your doctor or dietitian if this supplement is appropriate for your diet.
Because the amount of phenylalanine adults can safely eat is so low, it's crucial they avoid all high-protein foods, including:
Children and adults should also avoid foods, including many diet sodas, and medications made with aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal). Aspartame, found in many artificial sweeteners, releases phenylalanine when digested.
Adults and children with PKU also have to limit portions of lower protein foods, such as:
Low-protein rice, pasta noodles and crackers are often fine to eat without calculating the phenylalanine content.
It's key to remember that too much of a good thing can sometimes be harmful. Even if you're eating approved foods, eating too many at one time can be dangerous. Consider the total amount of phenylalanine in all the foods you eat when planning your diet.
You might wonder how someone, even a baby, can get all of the necessary nutrition with these dietary limitations. The answer is a formula — a special nutritional drink or supplement for people with PKU. The phenylalanine-free formula provides protein and other essential nutrients in a form that is safe for people with PKU.
Because regular infant formula and breast milk contain phenylalanine, babies with PKU instead need to consume a phenylalanine-free infant formula. A dietitian can carefully calculate a sparing amount of breast milk or regular formula to be mixed with the phenylalanine-free formula. Parents introduce solid foods with low levels of phenylalanine to children with PKU on the same schedule used for other infants. These foods replace the phenylalanine a baby has been receiving from breast milk or formula and need to be precisely figured into the daily phenylalanine intake.
Older children and adults continue to drink a protein substitute formula daily, as directed by a doctor or dietitian. Your daily dose of formula should be divided between your meals and snacks, instead of consumed all at once. The formula for older children and adults is not the same as the one used for infants, but it works on the same principle. It acts as an essential nutritional substitute and is continued for life.
The need for a nutritional supplement, especially if your child doesn't find it palatable, and the limited food choices can make the PKU diet challenging. But, it's the only way to prevent the serious health problems people with PKU can develop. Families need to commit to this lifestyle change wholeheartedly, realizing that it may be difficult but not impossible.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the drug sapropterin (Kuvan) for the treatment of PKU. It works by increasing your tolerance to phenylalanine. The drug is for use in combination with a PKU diet. But, it doesn't work for everyone with PKU. In approving the drug, the FDA directed that studies continue because there are no long-term studies on the drug's efficacy and long-term safety.
If you or your child is following a low-phenylalanine diet, you'll need to keep records of the amount of phenylalanine eaten every day to be sure you're sticking to the specific, individualized dietary guidelines recommended by your dietitian.
To do so, use a food diary or computer program that lists the amount of phenylalanine in baby foods, solid foods, PKU formulas, and common baking and cooking ingredients. To be as accurate as possible, measure portions, using standard measuring cups and spoons and a kitchen scale that reads in grams.
Buying some of the many low-protein products, such as low-protein pasta, rice, flour and bread, which are available through specialty food retailers, may add variety to your diet.
These products provide some variety, and they allow people with PKU to eat lunches and dinners that more closely resemble what everyone else is eating. Like the PKU formulas, these products can be expensive, but you might consider splurging on a few favorites with the money you save on dairy and meat products.
Whether you buy special low-protein products or not, you can be creative with foods you can find at your local grocery store. Here are some ideas for serving up three daily meals and a snack with low amounts of phenylalanine:
You can transform the same basic lower phenylalanine vegetables into a whole menu of different dishes, using a little creativity — and a lot of seasonings. Herbs and flavorings low in phenylalanine can pack a flavorful punch. Just remember to measure and count every ingredient and adjust ideas to your individualized diet. Talk to your doctor or dietitian if you have any questions. If you have any other health conditions, you may need to consider those too when you plan your diet.
Living with PKU can be difficult. The combination of a limited diet, expensive groceries, regular blood tests, detailed food records and frequent visits to the doctor can make for trying and frustrating times. If you have a child with PKU, it can be difficult to explain why he or she can't eat "normal" foods. And, mealtimes and snack times can be a battle. The following strategies may help:

Formerly an xperl user back in classic wow, in TBC, i basically drag out class raid frames or party raid frames and have heals hot keyed to 1-6. I heal like i tank, with every major thing hot keyed
Ok this goes out to all the healers out there.
My old main is a t6 resto shaman that has been benched since 3.0. As a shaman the spec I played the best and enjoyed the best (felt like it contributed the most) was restoration. However upon 3.0's release I realized how much of a pain healing is, from a ui perspective. Prior to 3.0 I had used a clique/xperl combination to get all of my healing done, but it tended to lead to bad pvp reaction times, especially in an arena setting (they were good in pve) and definetly created some tunnel vision (again, noticeable in arena, where I played only casually).
MY question is, how do you heal? Note I do a lot of 5/10/25 man riads, and pvp is definetly a lower concern. But I would like to play my best in both, and I've had trouble creating a ui/hotkey/addon setup that I felt just WORKED with healing (contrarily, tanking now seems to just feel right, and as a result I benched my shaman).

I use xperl for healing. I never really learned to rely on Clique or any other real healing addon. Xperl and decursive for the easy removal of magic and disease on people. I have hot keys 1-7 and rely on those the most. I don't see a slow reaction time unless the brain is being slow in its reaction time.
I use grid and decursive for my healing with my heals hotkeyed... I'll get a screen shot up a little later of my priests UI in a raid. It use to be pretty crazy healing before grid, but now I just watch the big box and occasionally make sure people aren't standing on top of me.
On my Holy Pally I use healbot continued.
I use it for both PVP and PVE and have been using it since I was level 20 (I originally used it to keep track of blessings in 5-mans). I can't say it will work for anyone else, but it is ingrained in my play style.
I use Healbot for casting my large array of heals, yes all 3 of them. I also use the extra healbot click bindings for BOP and BOF. I have tried grid and clique.. but in my opinion they never compared to healbot.
I also use healbot continued, best addon I've used by far.
I do what Lizana does; drag out all of the classes onto my screen. I don't use much in terms of healing oriented addons, just Decursive and Visual Heal (great for me to avoid overhealing as best as I can). I don't do it where I set a hotkey for each person I'm going to heal or anything like that; a lot of the time healing feels pretty intuitive to me, much more so with the benefits paladins have gotten in 3.0
I use Grid + Clique on my Priest, they are very good.
Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.
I use healbot on my shaman for healing the raid and removing poison/diseases/curses. I I need to heal main tank, I just keep him selected and use my hotkeyed spells. Makes it also to do the start/stopping heals while precasting on maintank.
I often use this macro.
/cast healing wave
I let it run for 2 seconds and when tank hasn't lost health I press button again or else I let the heal land.
I'm assuming the OP was referring to addons (so I'm not including beverage preferences).
I use Healbot Continued and mouseover macros to heal. I enjoy using HB because it is simple to use and set up. In addition, It has up to five mouse button spell assignments (and can be combined with Alt+, Ctrl+, and Shift+ clicks) and mouseover macros work with the interface.
I also use HB on all my alts as it is useful for monitoring hp/mana status, monitoring buffs, and removing debuffs. Plus, you can non-healer cast class abilities via the interface (Intervene, for example).
I highly recommend Healbot.
As for my addons, from a restoration druid PoV, I've used Grid for as long as I can remember, and not too long ago I also got Decursive placed just close to it, so I can easily remove curses and poisons. My hotkeys are a joke, though, having placed healing or healing related spells on 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, q, e and f.
I also did a little testing on mouseover-macros, but I found that to be a bit harder raidwise, since that would require me to remember and know the others in the raids character looks and/or positions for each encounter. The healthbars over their heads will only create a mess on the screen, and I found it easier to just add debuffs to the Center Icon on Grid so I would know who needed heals and not.
Heard about HealBot, though. But since I could do the job with Grid I saw no reasons to change.
I played a resto shaman pre 3.0 as well. I used grid, totemus (which no longer works), and just keybound my chainheal to - which i programmed on my mouse to be the thumb button. From there I would just click grid and click my thumb button. Tada...welcome to 25man raiding Had earthshield keybound to my mouse wheel when it was pressed and vent keybound to the second smaller thumb button on my mouse. Only buttons i ever had to use my keyboard for was potions and my oh shit buttons, which most of the time I just clicked them. Grid worked very well for pvp as well as you can set it up to show when earthshield is up etc etc.
[2-07-08 08:57 AM] Enelrad: hahaha, that and you're ugly! Ugly tanks tank better
[3-19-08 02:23 PM] Enelrad: Im really a 12 yr old boy from GA
Notice: You are currently banned from the shoutbox.
I use Grid and Clique mostly. It's probably not optimal for PvP, but works very well for PvE stuff and that's my focus. I like to be able to heal people without deselecting the boss - you'd be surprised what information you can pick up from seeing what the mob is doing.
ZOMGBuffs is good, but then... all paladins know that, and its not healing exclusive. It does have a very handy Beacon of Light tracker now though.
Fayre - Soldiers of Azeroth, Aggramar(EU)
We are recruiting! See here for more details.
Grid is amazing. Seeing incoming heals, buffs, debuffs, agro, etc etc is invaluable and Grid does not take up much space, allowing better environmental awareness.
I have used XPearl, PitBull, Clique, etc, etc, but with 3.0 all I have been running is DBM, Grid, and Omen. Its all a raider needs. For PvP, I find Grid works well but a bigger unit frame that allows easy evaluation of who to mana burn, purge, shield, etc is prob more helpful.
Healbot + Decursive combo
Have 9 different spells/functions bound to Left/ Right Click + nothing/shift/Ctrl/Alt
those are deep in my memory and automatic whichever i want to cast
as well as you can set it up to alert you (colorwise) which of your targets is missing which buffs, who's got/pulled aggro (significantly reducing reaction time) /incoming heals etc
that leaves hotbar for pots/fiend/ power infusion /fade etc
I've never seen the appeal of Grid. Looks so ugly to me. I use AGUF, decursive, and some form of HoT timer for my dr00d. 1-6 R and F are bound to healing spells. 2-6 are for various healing spells, R is a hover button, F as an oh shit button, and 1 is a focus target spell which is usually on the tank (sometimes switched with ToT macro for random damage encounters like Shade of Aran). I also use Aloft which does an excellent job of showing peoples health bars over their heads around me to give me an idea of where on the battlefield the damage is.
Grid + spells hotkeyed strategically for my best use pattern.
Has worked well since the major UI change that disabled logic. (When logic was available I used a very different setup but that's long gone of course.)
Heal bot + Spellreminder
Heal bot makes it an easy set of key+click combos and doesn't burdon my ability to stay as mobile as I can as a paly.
I might drop spell reminder to get rid of some clutter but it is nice to have to remind you bacon of light is about to drop. Nothing worse then healing some dps after he rips agg thinking you are healing the tank as well, only to find Bacon has timed out and he is probably on the floor.
I'm currently not using any UI or healing addons except Visual Heal to see if I'm going to way overheal or etc (it also shows other healer's healing incomming on that target if they have it too). Other than that I stopped using xperl because it was locking WoW up, I'll try it again soon probably. I just drag raid groups into screen from the raid interface.
I have everything I ever use hotkeyed. 1-0 on num row, 1-9 on number pad, F1-F12 for DMG and situational spells. E is mass dispell, G is Guardian Spirit (ran out of other hot keys)
Also I hit shift+v to display firendly health bars so I can watch the action in front of me rather than staring at side bars all the time.
hotkeys =win, clicking takes too long imo.
I am using Grid and mouseover macros myself. (e.g., /cast [target=mouseover] Greater Heal).
(1) Making good use of Fitts's Law. The idea is to make target acquisition (of an arbitrary group/raid member) via the mouse as fast and reliably as possible.

Tenta Nakara
is possibly the only Luxury Tent - Island Resort on the entire Island
of Phuket. The lack of electricity on this small - unspoiled Island
hideaway enhances the genuine feeling of inner peace. Guests are provided
with oil lamps and candles used for light while electricity are generated
and used only in the restaurant area.
Our commitment is to give you nature in the most natural way, to preserve the environment with its rustic simplicity, unobtrusive design and attention to comfort without compromising the ecosystem.
Strategically located on the idyllic island paradise of Koh Nakha Yai just off the East Coast of Phuket, Tenta Nakara is a Luxury Tent - Beach Resort which offers its guests breathtaking views of Phang Nga Bay, pure white sandy beaches and the serenity of being almost in the center of newly discovered rainforest.
While its seclusion allows guest complete privacy and a retreat from urban life, Tenta Nakara is still within minutes of Phuket's essential services and attractions.
The property rests on the slope of the ridge above a golden beach with clear water. From the top of the property, it falls away dramatically to the beach providing each square foot of property with panoramic ocean views of Phang Nga Bay and stunning beauty of surrounding islands. The small private beach with fine white sand gently slopes into the calm Phang Nga Bay.
It is everything you've ever dreamed of for a perfect retreat but never believed you could find until now.
|Luxury tent accommodations under the palm trees and the stars in
permanent tent structures comfortably furnished with wooden floors,
raised 6 ft bed, en suite bathroom with shower, washbasin and flush
toilet. Chill out at your own outdoor terrace. All units have magnificent
view of Phang Nga Bay and stunning beauty of surrounding Islands.

|Boat Service
Once in Phuket : Charter Taxi to Ao Por about 20 Kms. From Phuket International airport and about 30 Kms. from Phuket Town. To get to Ao Por take route 4027 east from the Heroines' Monument, then turn right at the sign for Ao Por about 10 kms. in and follow along for a few kilometers. Naka Yai Island is just minutes (6 kms.) off the North-East Coast of Phuket Island from Ao Por (Por Bay).
Naka Yai Island features only one small village on its west side. The island is rapidly changing from a fishing village into a fairly exclusive resort location. The views out across Phang Nga Bay are simply breathtaking. The longest beach on the east side has chairs and umbrellas for rent. It fills up in the afternoons with day trippers.

What is the barrel length?
The 2014 Rawlings Mach Senior League Baseball Bat (SLMC10) features a 10.5" barrel in length.
What other drop weights are there?
The 2014 Rawlings Mach (SLMC10) Senior League bat only comes in the -10 length to weight ratio or "drop."
Did the 'Mach' take place of the 'Machine'? I have never bought a Rawlings bat, and am a little reluctant to do so. Is this a legitimate concern and should I expect the same results from this bat as we've gotten from COMBAT, Demarini and/or Easton?
This 2014 Rawlings Mach: (SLMC10) Senior League bat is the newest composite model in the Rawlings lineup, but features a different design than the Machine (SLMACH). The Mach features a two-piece design that should provide a player with more trampoline effect than the one-piece design of the Machine. Most of the bats in Rawlings' product line feature alloy barrels, but the little feedback we have received on the Mach indicates it's a pretty solid choice. It should offer performance that tests the limits of the BPF 1.15 performance regulation.
Product Description
New for 2014! Hit like a Machine this season with the hottest bat in the Rawlings lineup! The Mach is a two-piece fully composite design that utilizes Rawlings' new Max CFD Technology that maximizes the carbon fiber density of the bat. By adding more fibers and less resin, a stronger bat is born that exceeds the competition in fiber content. This creates a bat that will perform better and last longer. Also new to the Mach this season is Barrel Flex Technology. For those that are unaware, barrel flex and trampoline are essentially the same - the more flex a barrel has, the greater the performance. In fact, the Rawlings Mach has 55% more barrel flex than the closest competitor! While field testing the Mach, over 90% of the players that swung it chose it over all other bats in head to head competition! The handle of the Mach is also Flex Tuned to give it increased flex from the previous model. The new Rawlings Mach is proudly made in the U.S.A., and is the product of the finest materials and countless hours of R&D. Rawlings: The Mark of a Pro! The SLMC10 features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Garcinia cambogia is a well known extract that is mostly used for weight loss purposes. As much as it is commonly used in Asia and specifically in Indonesia, millions of people from all across the globe are slowly appreciating its significance. That is why we can dare to talk about it in such a setting. Are you suffering from weight issues? If yes, this is the kind of all natural products that you have been looking for all this time. In combination with intensive physical exercise (like Insanity), garcinia cambogia extract can be very effective… Just to note, although garcinia cambogia is mainly used for weight loss purposes, where it was discovered, it is used for the treatment of a diverse range of illnesses.
What makes garcinia cambogia so effective?
The most active ingredient in garcinia cambogia is known as Hydroxycitric acid (HCA). This is the main substance which effects weight loss by suppressing food cravings, burning up fat, burning up carbohydrates and sugars and also ensuring speedy metabolic functions. Therefore, when we talk about garcinia cambogia, it is also important to note that HCA is the main effect stimulant. You can read on to get to understand many other benefits of garcinia cambogia.
The benefits of garcinia cambogia
One of the many benefits of this product which we must take note of is that it is generally cost-effective. This means that, if you cannot get it in its natural form as an extract, you could still buy it from the all sorts of stores at an affordable price. Therefore, apart from it being natural and safe, it is also pretty much cost effective. This simply means that, if you are not using garcinia cambogia extract for weight loss needs, you are just being ignorant.
It is also important to note that garcinia cambogia is not associated with any kind of side effects whatsoever. Numerous studies have been conducted on the product and up to date, no one has ever recorded any substantive side effects. Therefore, when you are using this supplement, you don't have to worry about any complications like the ones you would have to put up with when using synthetic pills.
This product is also known for regulating blood sugar levels. It does this in a fast and safe manner. We all know that sugar and fat are major contributors to weight gain. That means, if it does not encourage the two elements, losing weight is pretty much achievable in your case. Therefore, garcinia cambogia scores on fat burning, reduction of blood sugar levels and appetite suppression. Remember that no side effects have been recorded up to date.
Don't know where to find garcinia cambogia? There are plenty of retailers on the Web, but make sure you only order for reputable Web sites. If you would prefer to lose weight with physical exercise, I highly recommend that you read this review of Insanity, an advanced workout program that has already helped thousands of people get fit in just a few weeks.

Eve Arnold, the photographer who was most famous for her strikingly informal images of Marilyn Monroe has died three months before her 100th Birthday.
Arnold was born in Philadelphia in 1912 but moved to London in the 1960s, where she lived in the same Mayfair flat for forty years. Her photographic agency, Magnum, of which she was the first female member in 1957, announced yesterday 'with great sadness' that the photographer had 'passed away peacefully' on Wednesday.
Although Arnold was much more than a celebrity photographer she became best known for her decade long collaboration with Marilyn Monroe. In an interview in the Observer, Arnold said that when they first met 'we were two young women starting out in this quite male world, so we just played together, had the most fun we could.' Arnold's images of Monroe – of her brushing her hair in an airport mirror, or leaning out of a car window on set - cemented not only Monroe's iconic status, but also Arnold's reputation as a photographer who was able, as a woman, to capture images that her male contemporaries were not.
As a photojournalist, Arnold was as interested in photographing the poor and dispossessed as she was in capturing the egos of film stars. The photographer's last pictures, in the late 1990s, were taken in Cuba on a return trip to the island. In 2002 she described the experience by saying 'about five years ago I went to Cuba to photograph a woman I had photographed when she was about eight. She lived on the beach then, in terrible conditions, and she drew me a picture of the house she would have liked, in the sand. Well, that little elfin-like child had become this big impressive woman, with that house, not far from the beach. And I loved doing that story, and it seemed to me to be a good place to end, a happy ending'.

Larisa tastes like sugar almonds, like honey, like ripe figs, like all things sweet, forbidden, Oriental, mysterious.
Larisa loves nothing more than taking her clothes off, lying back as she is here on a magic carpet and sucking smoke through a water pipe. Watch her eyes grow bigger, her lips more sensuous as she slowly gets higher and higher and finally floats away.
Pure ecstasy captured exclusively in Larisa's film début.

Left, Michelle's latest Vogue cover is the April issue, and right, her first cover in 2009
Not since Jackie O has a First Lady become such a focus for fashion press and the media in general – wowing time after time with her elegant outfit choices that are experimental, appropriate and completely mixed in terms of price range, as well as having the best First arms we've ever laid eyes on – or as the Vogue interviewer for what is her second cover of the American magazine describes her - "she has inspired a modern definition of effortless American chic."
Wearing a blue and burgundy sleeveless Reed Krakoff dress, Mrs O was shot by superstar photographer Annie Leibovitz, a woman known for her huge-scale theatrical fashion shoots. In the interview, Michelle talks at length about upgrading her husband's non-chalant dress sense, as well as a bit about her own style, "I always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves. That's what I always try to do. . . . I also believe that if you're comfortable in your clothes it's easy to connect with people and make them feel comfortable as well. In every interaction that I have with people, I always want to show them my most authentic self."
Both Barack and Michelle Obama were interviewed in the issue by Jonathan Van Meter, who was was privy to all of the photo-shoot action in The White House on the day. "Who picked the music? I love this song." The President said during the shoot as Leibovitz played the Black Eyed Peas song Where Is the Love? to get them in the modelling mood. It seems even the photographer herself, who has photographed all of the hugest stars of our time, was hugely taken in by the couple, telling them "There's a lot of huggin' going on…you're a very different kind of president and First Lady."
It seems the couple are also masters of banter, and quite the hilarious two-some. While Michelle was explaining that they stay in so much because they want to spend time with their young daughters, Barack butted in fully grinning with "Although, as I joked at a press conference, now that they want less time with us, who knows? Maybe you'll see us out in the clubs." "Saturday night!" says the First Lady. "The kids are out with their friends. Let's go party!" "'The Obamas are out in the club again?' " says the president, laughing. "Let's put it this way: I did an awful lot of socializing in my teens and 20s." And, we fall in love all over again.

- Special Education Medical Review Training for Registered Nurses
The summer session of the course, "RNs in Special Education," is underway, and will conclude August 5. The 6 week fall session beginning in October is full.
The goal of the course is to assure competence in special education medical review by those RN's over the next two years while the gap in available ISBE-licensed school nurses is expected to narrow. This free, internet-delivered, instructor-facilitated, guided study course runs for six weeks. The course will continue as long as there is demand. Space is limited to 90 students each session.
The course is designed to meet the training requirements of Rule 226.160, Special Education Medical Review, which allows opportunities other than education licensure (i.e., training, testing) be provided for currently employed staff to become qualified to conduct all components of a student's Medical Review. Portions of the rule took effect October 2013 and portions will take effect on July 1, 2016.
This course does not confer certification or Professional Educator License endorsed for school nursing or any rights and privileges of certified staff. The rule change allows time for more nurses to obtain ISBE licensure/endorsement in school nursing while assuring the competence of currently employed registered nurses to conduct the student evaluation component of Medical Review and assist in planning, implementing and evaluating the Individualized Education Program that a student's special education team may create, as required by ISBE rule. RNs who successfully complete this course will be able to continue to provide such evaluation and services in special education through the course of their employment in any Illinois public school as long as RN licensure and professional development requirements are met.
RNs who are being asked by their administration to take this course and did not already submit their materials must meet the following requirements and send documents via email only, to firstname.lastname@example.com. No mailed or faxed documents will be accepted due to privacy concerns.
- Cover letter of application with name, contact information (email and phone), nursing degree held (diploma, associate, bachelor's, master's) and statement that the RN is not nor has previously held ISBE Professional Educator License endorsement in school nursing (formerly called certification);
- Copy of current RN licensure (expiration date of May 2016);
- Proof of current employment in an Illinois public school or co-op (pay stub with salary and SSN redacted). Applicants with promises of future employment will not be taken;
- Letter from a school district administrator indicating the RN is required to take this course in order to provide educational evaluation or instructional judgment of students as a result of medical review as required by Rule 226.160 subsection (a)(5) for students being evaluated or re-evaluated for special education services; and that the district currently has no or an insufficient number of licensed/endorsed (e.g., "certified") RNs that would bring the district into full compliance with Rule 226.160 at this time.

In February 2010, the Learning Disabilities Association of America issued a white paper, The Learning Disabilities Association of America's White Paper of Evaluation, Identification, and Eligibility Criteria for Students with Specific Learning Disabilities. NASDSE did not formally respond to the white paper, believing that researchers and practitioners across the country with far more knowledge and experience would provide a better response. Now that has happened. A paper, A Response to the Learning Disabilities of America (LDA) White Paper on Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) Identification was released in December 2010. Please find attached the original Learning Disabilities Association of America white paper and the response by leading researchers and implementers.
