- Studio: Columbia Pictures
- Release Date: Oct 28, 2009
- Starring: Michael Jackson
- Summary: Michael Jackson's This Is It will offer Jackson fans and music lovers worldwide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts that would have taken place beginning this summer in London's O2 Arena. Chronicling the months from April through June, 2009, the film is produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. Audiences will be given a privileged and private look at Jackson as he has never been seen before. In raw and candid detail, "Michael Jackson's This Is It" captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his final show.

Negative: 3 out of 32
[An] extraordinary documentary, nothing at all like what I was expecting to see. Here is not a sick and drugged man forcing himself through grueling rehearsals, but a spirit embodied by music. Michael Jackson was something else.
Watching it, I saw him from some new angles -- painful as well as celebratory -- and I realized that this isn't it: This, as with Elvis' posthumous career, is only the beginning.
An up-tempo and upbeat concert documentary that celebrates, rather than mourns, the last hurrah of a pop-culture touchstone.
This Is It delivers neither the full-on Jackson stage experience or a revealing portrait of his complex mindset. Yet it does not dishonour his memory and you can't deny the power of the music.
Neither a true concert film nor a strict behind-the-scenes documentary, This Is It is, like Jackson himself, a real hybrid.
For a man who so desperately wanted to show us perfection -- or at least project the illusion of it -- Jackson would never, ever want us to see this film.

AnneG.Jan 26, 2010I watched it at 20th century in Nairobi. It was packed and people were screaming. Kenyans L.O.V.E Michael !!! Understand this haters, mike is universal, he will never die and your hate for him creates even more love for him.The negative press did nothing in 20 years! He has God's favour.… Expand
BarbaraGNov 1, 2009This film is redemptive not only for Michael Jackson but also for his fans and hopefully his critics. We see the genius of the artist but we are also glimpse a mature person in control of his body and his team. The deference given to Jackson by his director and the entire group puts the audience on notice that this guys delivers, and that there is not a single person involved in his productions now or in the past that wasn't in awe of this mans talent. The show is fabulous and more than once my husband or I breathed a "unbelieveable" sigh. I am so glad that I got to see Michael the 50 year old man working, directing, creating, and leading not just performing. This is s side of Jackson we haven't seen in the media, a focused, mature, and balanced adult. Additionally, the way he is able to push his body (frail or not) to limits should silence those critics who said he could not deliver. I cannot imagine now being 50 something myself having kept that pace, I ache after a hike! Bravo Mr. Jackson, God gave you a gift, a gift that you shared with the world -- Be at peace.… Expand
KuntayO.Oct 28, 2009The master working on his masterpiece. That's what i'd call this movie. "This is it" offers a focused, proffessional but at the same time humble and friendly man who was set to give the world the most spectacular show in the music history. The majority of the movie is about Michael Jackson being a performer, improvising his dance-steps and giving his all when singing songs like "Human Nature" and "Earth Song". People who are not really fans of him should see this movie just to see what this man was all about. To get his message to the world that people should start "loving each other" and "care for our world". Any Michael Jackson fan will probably see this movie no matter what, but those who are afraid to see a frail looking MJ shouldn't worry. Michael Jackson was on top of his game and was ready to deliver on what he promised people years ago. "You ain't seen nothing yet".… Expand
AshmeedMNov 12, 2009This is it was a great documentary. I am lost of words to describe it. It is most enjoyed on the big screen or IMAX theater. I highly recommend you get a view of this.

scottm.Nov 2, 2009My family loved this movie of MJ. We see it as a tribute to his talents. Nay sayers i believe were not MJ fans to begin with. The movie delivered exactly what it said it would, a behind the scene look at a great entertainer at work. Not a perfect concert film. The concert would have been amazing, and i have no doubt would have hit every note! MJ always delivered.… Expand

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – If Tyler Moore was a building, he would be a thick skyscraper. If he was a tree, he would be a large-trunked live oak. If a car, think a big Cadillac.
You get the picture. Moore is tall (6-foot-5) and wide and carries his 312 pounds around like it's no big deal. He hopes to move around SEC defensive linemen next season in the same fashion.

Auditor praises Vt. action on tax districtsMay 20,2013
MONTPELIER Vermont State Auditor Doug Hoffer is praising lawmakers for passing legislation to clean up glitches in the states so-called tax increment financing program.
Tax increment financing is a public financing method that provides communities with a means to fund redevelopment and infrastructure improvements. A community is allowed to borrow money against the future growth in property tax revenue within a designated TIF district that is made possible by the improvements.
Last year, then-Auditor Tom Salmon issued a report saying that some cities and towns had not handled their TIF districts properly and therefore owed money to the state education fund a finding disputed by the municipalities.
Hoffer said the bill passed by lawmakers should clear up ambiguities in the law that likely contributed to the problems.MORE IN Vermont NewsBARRE A human rights advocate would like the state to give parents whose children have been...

US actor Charlie Sheen and his new wife Brooke Mueller are planning to attend counselling sessions following an alleged conflict between them over the Christmas period.
The Spin City star - who married property investor Brooke last May - was arrested at a ski resort in Aspen on Friday, where the couple were spending the festive season.
"They were fighting at a dinner in a friend's house and it continued until the next morning," a source told People.
"Both of them were drinking and neither was supposed to be... things got out of hand."
Both he and Brooke will undergo counselling and Charlie will get anger management counseling."
Police, who confirmed the 44-year-old was suspected of assault, menacing and criminal mischief, have released him on an $8,500 bail agreement.

Integrate stretching into your daily life. (Waiting on line, talking on phone, work breaks.)
Tea Time!
Fall – the season of soups and boots – is my favorite time of year because of, well, the soups and boots thing. Not to mention glorious foliage. Also: TEA, steaming mugs of fragrant tea sipped on chilly November mornings. So, this being a chilly November morning, let's talk tea: herbal tea, health and wellness.
Herbal tea isn't really made from tea—which is a specific kind of plant. Herbal tea an infusion of leaves, seeds, roots and bark extracted in hot water. I have nothing against tea tea. In fact, I drink quite a bit of green tea, but herbals do have specific properties that are believed to be health-promoting. I say "believed to be" because, if you're looking for large-scale, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trails on herbal tea and its health benefits, you ain't gonna find them. (Those kind of studies cost tens of millions to mount and are generally financed by pharmaceutical companies.) But you will find enthusiastic endorsements by herbal tea drinkers, naturopaths, herbalists and others. And you will find centuries of use in cultures that value herbal remedies. Here are a few commonly available, potentially health-promoting, counterclockwise herbal teas to consider this fall:
Peppermint is believed to be a stress-reducer. It's also known for its ability to ease nausea, abdominal discomfort and bloating (holiday overindulgence, anyone?), relieve sinus pain and maybe even clear the skin. Personally, I find this tea peps me up. (I mean mood elevation not energy boost.)
Lemon Balm tea is thought to lift the spirits, ease digestion and help with sleep. And there is some science behind the sleep claim. Yes, clinical trails. Researchers have investigated lemon balm's use in treating insomnia and anxiety, but most of these studies used a combination of lemon balm and other herbs like valerian, hops and chamomile. The University of Michigan Health System cites a preliminary clinical trial that compared the effects of a product containing lemon balm and valerian root with the insomnia medication triazolam, or Halcion. The study found that the herbal combination was just as effective as Halcion at improving the participants' ability to fall asleep and quality of sleep.
Chamomile – wonderful, soothing, grandmotherly chamomile– is considered to have calming, sedative effects and muscle-relaxing properties. It may also be a boon to the immune system – the enduring strength of which is a key to a counterclockwise life — due to plant-derived compounds called phenolics. Plus, it smells wonderful.
Ginger tea is renown as a great digestive aid, used to curb nausea or settle an upset stomach caused by motion sickness. Ginger is rich in Vitamin C and Magnesium, as well as other healthy minerals, and is believed to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, fight respiratory issues and boost the immune system. And it grows in sidewalk cracks.
Rooibos tea – a tasty new favorite of mine – is high in vitamin C and has thus been touted for its antioxidant properties, which may protect against disease and mitigate signs of aging. I don't know. I just love the taste of it. Rosehip tea, like rooibus, is a vitamin C powerhouse. I don't like the taste, so it doesn't get a separate listing. So there.
Nettle Tea is rich in B vitamins, iron and calcium. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties that make it beneficial in treating arthritis, diabetes and even heart disease.
The thing about these health and wellness claims is: maybe yes, maybe no. But there's no downside to trying a cup.
Please write in with your go-to herbal teas.Filed under Posts | Comments (2)
YES! There is an anti-aging "magic bullet." It's called physical activity.
The thing about joy – the best thing about joy – is that it comes unbidden.
You can (if you are very very lucky) find yourself sipping a glass of Brunello and nibbling a chunk of local pecorino as the Tuscan sun glints off a field of sunflowers. And it is lovely. And it is wonderful. And you are happy to be there. But the moment doesn't grab unexpectedly at your soul. It doesn't shoot a bolt of electricity from the soles of your feet to the top of your head. Maybe it's because you worked hard for that moment. You planned it, set it up, made it perfect.
Alternately, you could pull yourself out of a warm bed at 5:20 on the chilliest morning of the year after a not-great night's sleep. You could be thinking (not-entirely-positive thoughts) about the 6:15 Barre3 class you have to get to and the semi-grueling ballet class that follows and the long day of writing after that. And you could walk out the back door of the house into the cold, black morning and, with that first inhale, you could be — you are! — almost knocked silly by an overwhelming blast of joy. I mean full-body, electric-charged, all-encompassing bliss. Unasked for. Unplanned. Boom.
Here's why I decided to share that moment in today's post rather than write about what dogs can teach us about anti-aging (which is what I thought I'd be writing about when I woke up this morning): I want to acknowledge the power of the unexpected. I want to embrace the idea that you don't always have to work so very hard to get to a good place. It may be that, occasionally, when we least expect it, without the gritting of teeth and the straining of muscles and the writing and checking off of lengthy to-do lists (yes, I am referring to myself here), good stuff happens. It may be that cultivating a life-long openness to that possibility, to the unexpected glory of surprise is as viable a path to a counterclockwise life as, say, kale salad and cross-fit.Filed under Posts | Comments (6)
Stop. Breathe. Chronic stress harms the hippocampus, the brain's main memory center.
Fall is in the air
Here are two scary stats for you:
Seventy percent of people older than 70 take blood pressure meds. Yes, you read that right: 7 out of 10. More than 30 million men and women.
And…25 percent of older people who fall and fracture a hip die within a year. Eighty percent are left with mobility problems severe enough that they are unable to walk a city block.
Why am I passing along this depressing information? Usually I'm all upbeat and full of beat-the-clock energy and brimming with just-do-it spirit. It's not that I'm feeling grouchy today. Au contraire. Things are going very well for me on my latest counterclockwise journey (my quest to dance in The Nutcracker this holiday season). But I feel compelled to comment for two reasons:
First, these two equally depressing, seemingly unrelated health statistics are, in fact, closely related. People who take blood-pressure-lowering medication are at significantly increased risk for serious falls. This according to a study published last April in JAMA Internal Medicine. (Other drugs commonly prescribed for older people including anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs and sleep medications can, in the words of a Yale geriatrician who studies falls, "directly affect your balance.")
And second (here's where I switch back to my just-do-it self): This is AVOIDABLE. ("This" being both the taking of such medications and the falling.) Why do 30 million older people require medication to lower their blood pressure? Elevated blood pressure is not a natural consequence of aging. It is a natural consequence of an out-of-shape heart and stiffened arteries…which are not a natural consequence of aging. They are a natural consequence of lack of exercise, poor diet, obesity, smoking – the decisions we make (or don't make) and live by every day. And the decisions we make today at age 40 or 50 or 60 WILL have consequences when we are 70 or 80 or older.
Why not have those be good consequences?Filed under Posts | Comments (2)
Stay energized with vitamin B-rich foods. (Leafy greens, beans, meat, seafood, and eggs are good sources.)
Ditch "The Rule"
Here it is today, short and sweet:
Why, when we encounter or read about a vibrant, curious, active, creatively alive older person is that person "the exception that proves the rule." Because, as we all know, "the rule" is old equals cranky, crabby, frail, sedentary, sexless, useless. And the rule abides.
Why, when we acknowledge that an old person is (you choose): a productive documentary filmmaker (Frederick Wiseman, 84), a brilliant naturalist (E.O. Wilson, 85), an astonishing modern artist (Carmen Herrera, 99), a #1 Billboard entertainer (Tony Bennett, 88) , an avant-garde dancer and teacher (Anna Halprin, 94) are these interesting, engaged, productive, still-growing people all "exceptions that prove the rule" – the rule being getting older sucks and nothing good will come of it and your best days are behind you.
Isn't it time we consider that these "exceptions" actually challenge the rule? Isn't it time we reconsider what aging means – or can mean – if we remain curious and open to experience, if we work to keep ourselves strong and healthy, if we stop buying into "the rule?" Time to ditch the damn rule. Read this elegant little essay by Lewis Lapham (who will be 80 this January) with accompanying portraits in last Sunday's New York Times magazine. And think of each one of the "Old Masters" profiled in the story as examples of – not exceptions to – aging.Filed under Posts | Comments (6)
You've heard it before … Now do it: Make time for 30+ minutes of cardio-vascluar activity 3-4/x week.
The ease in the effort
I've been thinking lot lately about finding the ease in the effort. This is what my supremely talented Barre3 instructor, Summer Spinner, (yes, her real name) says as we are holding the most challenging pose of the morning. It's that pose that requires every muscle – including those you never knew you had – to fire. There's a way of achieving this by tensing everything, from inner thigh to outer glute, from multiple layers of abdominals to the entire back body. When I first find my way to this pose, here's what happens: My neck tenses, my shoulders lift and my face scrunches up. Then I hear Summer say, "now find the ease in the effort," and the entire posture changes for me. I release my neck and slide my shoulders down. I untense my face. I close my eyes. I take that breath that I didn't realize I was holding. And everything goes deeper. "Ease" is not what I'd call it because all those muscles are still very busy. It's more a place of stability, almost peace – "the calm within the chaos," which is another thing Summer says.
I know I know. You're reading that and thinking: Spare me the New Age hoo-ha. But really, I am here to tell you, this is important stuff. I'm not just talking about what happens for me in a Barre3 class. I'm talking about the bigger lesson I am learning because of this. I am talking about an attitude, an approach to counterclockwise living.
Finding the ease in the effort is, for example, a way to change that demanding, insistent, relentless self-talk (I am going to eat an anti-aging diet, damn it, with 8 cups of veggies and 4 ounces of lean protein and nothing white ever — except cauliflower) to a calmer, saner, happier I am going to enjoy and delight in healthy, mindful eating. It's a way to change I am going to put in my 3 days a week of cardio and my 3 days a week of weights and remember to stretch at least 15 minutes, damn it to I am going to live in my body and enjoy and delight in physical activity.
When you try so hard, the trying takes over. It becomes all about trying, and what you are doing and how you are experiencing what you are doing is lost in the effort and the sweat and the scrunched up face. Believe me. I know. This is one of most challenging lessons I am trying to learn. (But trying to not try so hard.) I am so surprised that finding the ease in the effort is so much harder than finding the effort.
Here's what Mikhail Baryshnikov has to say on this subject: "It is harder to be relaxed on stage than to produce high powered virtuosity." Think on that.Filed under Posts | Comment (0)
Dark chocolate (70% cacao) is YES! an anti-aging health food. Enjoy a square a day. The flavinoids help lower blood pressure and improve lipid profile.
Life ends at 75
That's how long I want to live: 75 years.
So begins Ezekiel Emanuel's awful, depressing, wrong-headed essay in the recent issue of The Atlantic. Emanual, director of the Clinical Bioethics Department at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and head of the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania, is a hale and healthy – and productive – 57. But he imagines a dire future for himself. He imagines that when he reaches 75, life will not be worth living.
Why? Because he equates getting older with being incapacitated. He writes, "our older years are not of high quality." Really? Tell that to Betty White (82) because I guess she didn't get the message.
Why is life not worth living past 75? Because, he writes, we not only slow down mentally (he gets to this after several slit-your-wrists paragraphs about dementia), but "we literally lose our creativity." Really? Tell that to New Yorker essayist Roger Angell (94) who is writing some of his best work right now.
Tell that to the consistently brilliant E.O. Wilson (85) with an extraordinary new book just published. The New York Times calls him "wise, learned, wicked, vivid, oracular." And, apparently a full decade past the end of his useful life.
If those reasons don't resonate, Emanual ends the essay with the ultimate guilt trip: Think of the burden you'll be to your kids. Worse yet, those years after 75 — the sickly, frail, uncreative, awful years? – will "inevitably become [your children's] predominant and salient memories" of you.
Wow. Kill me now, so my kids' salient memory will be when I rocked out at an ACDC tribute band concert this past summer.
I am just disgusted with Mr. Emanual and with our culture's fear and denigration of what it means to get older. Thinking old, thinking the worst possible scenarios about getting older, is a shortcut to the unsatisfying, unhealthy and unhappy life Emanual imagines for himself.
Me? I imagine (and am joyfully working toward) an entirely different future. And you?Filed under Posts | Comments (2)
Keep chemicals off your skin! Read, really read, those ingredient labels for body products.
Exploring the Uncomfort Zone
Counterclockwise living is not just about kale salads and Crossfit. And thank goodness for that, as neither is – or is likely to be — a part of my life. (I hate kale, but not as much as I hate the whole Anointed Superfood of the Year thing. As for CrossFit: Did it, escaped without serious injury – unlike many people – and moved on.)
What I mean, more broadly, is that living a healthy, engaged life that actively promotes vitality and youthful energy involves far more than eating well and moving one's body. It is, as I've written about here and in my book, about nurturing a kind of bring-it-on attitude. It's about purposely (bravely) stepping out of one's comfort zone to take on challenges, to try new things. Being inquisitive and adventuresome is a hallmark of youthful energy. It is in the Uncomfort Zone that interesting things can happen.
You know how trainers will tell you to vary your exercise routine to create "muscle confusion"? If you do the same exercise routine every day, your muscles adapt and soon are not working as hard. You're on the treadmill for the same 50 minutes, but you're really getting 25 minutes of a decent work-out. If you switch it up and engage different muscle groups, you give your body a new challenge, and it is forced to answer the call. You begin to make progress rather than merely holding steady.
It's the same with other routines in your life. You've spent a lot of years, decades probably, getting good at whatever it is you do. It's likely that, at mid-life, you have adapted to that work. It is easier, less challenging. Admit it: You are on auto-pilot. (I am speaking about — and to — myself here too.) How about pushing yourself into the Uncomfort Zone? How about doing something you are NOT already good at? How about going back to the BEGINNING of some learning curve…just for the heady, scary thrill of it?
That's what these folks did. (You really, really want to click on this link!)
And it's what I'm doing right now as I take on the (self-inflicted) challenge of re-learning ballet (I stopped taking lessons at 12) and dancing The Nutcracker this season with the Eugene Ballet Company.

Fall: the BEST counterclockwise season
Because Fall is my favorite season,, and because I feel I must make a case for it given the whole but everything is dying and the weather is turning crappy and vacation time is over litany I hear from autumn-detractors…I hereby declare that Fall is absolutely the very best counterclockwise season.*
My reasons are simple and, if I do say so myself, compelling.
1. Soup. Fall is the season of soup. In fact, I just made my first soup of the season yesterday: mushroom barley from the very first Moosewood cookbook. (Secret ingredient: tamari) I also adore a later Moosewood recipe for black bean soup. (Secret ingredient: dried apricots) If you make soup yourself, you get the pleasure of the cooking – contemplative, anti-stress, much chopping of veggies and fragrant sautéing of onions and garlic — plus the pleasure of the eating. Not to mention the deep pleasure knowing that you are nourishing both body and soul because, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" notwithstanding, there is an alchemy to soup. It is magic elixir in a bowl.
Also…It's difficult (and dangerous!) to consume hot soup quickly. This is a real benefit. Eating slowly not only increases enjoyment and creates a greater window for kitchen-table interaction, it allows the sensors in your stomach to communicate to the brain that you are getting full. All good news for the counterclockwise lifestyle.
2. Flannel sheets. Fall is the season of flannel sheets, whisper soft against the skin, warmed immediately by the body, deeply, satisfyingly sensuous. (I just changed my sheets yesterday – while waiting for the onions, garlic and mushrooms to sauté, in fact.) Flannel sheets on an autumn-cool night: the best. I take that back. Flannel sheets on an autumn-cool night with the rain shushing and hissing outside…that's the best.
What does this have to do with an invigorated, weller-than-well counterclockwise lifestyle? Good, restful, deep sleep, that's what. Significant research links good sleep with health in general, with disease prevention, resilience, weight control and other hallmarks of anti-aging.
So stop mourning the end of summer with all that skin-aging, cataract-causing sunshine! Embrace the fall.

Eat curry! Curcuminoids, the active ingredient in tumeric, has proven anti-inflammatory and liver-cleansing properties.
Counterclockwise brain
Counterclockwise is a belief, an attitude, a behavior (well, more like a set of behaviors). Counterclockwise permeates everything we do, all our choices, our activities, our relationships, our moods.
And our brain.
I write a lot about the body. This week, a few updates about the brain, the sharp, resilient, problem-solving, challenge-loving, creative counterclockwise brain. The brain you want until it's time to go skydiving for that one last time. (My end-of-life fantasy.)
So here's a summary of some recent research I've been reading:
The brain and physical activity. Being active can reduce your risk of cognitive decline by as much as 38 percent, according to a meta-analysis of 47 studies done by a group of Australian researchers. This activity-brain health connection (exercise increases circulation which means more blood to the brain which means a healthier brain) has been known for a while. It's the meta-analysis that's impressive here. If you haven't paid attention to this particular benefit from exercise, now would be the time.
Obesity and cognitive decline. You know what I'm going to say, right? Well, hear it again: According to a BIG (10,000 people) longitudinal study in the Journal of the American Heart Association, people with BMIs greater than 30 had a 79 percent increase in their risk of cognitive decline compared to those with BMIs under 25. Although the whole BMI measurement thing is quite a bit less than perfect, this is a study to pay attention to. Obesity (defined as a BMI in excess of 30) is implicated in so many health problems. Cognitive decline is now on that list.
Another reason to drink green tea. Researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, report that green tea extract enhances cognitive functions, in particular the working memory. It was a small study. But still, given that anti-oxidant-rich green tea has already been linked to other health benefits like longer telomeres, why not drink a cup or two (or three) every day?
And yay for yoga. A group of 60-plus year olds showed significant improvement in immediate and delayed recall of verbal and visual memory, attention and working memory, verbal fluency and processing speed after 6 months of practicing yoga compared to a matched group of non-practicers. Again, it's a small study (87 people) but…as there's almost nothing better for flexibility than yoga…and it's a mood-enhancer and stress-reliever as well, why not get out the mat?Filed under Posts | Comments (2)
Trans-fat (as in store-bought bakery items)? Really? You know better.
One BIG thing
Last week I wrote that there was no one "big thing," no single secret to living a healthy, weller-than-well counterclockwise life. I said that "the small stuff" was all there was. Let me amend that.
The small, everyday choices we make (or don't), ARE important. Consider the excellent list of small actions taken by several readers who responded to last week's post.
But, truthfully, there are a few BIG-ticket items, one-off significant changes that can make a huge difference in how and how quickly (or slowly) we age. The obvious one is smoking. Quitting smoking is probably the single most important health decision a person can make. But I am betting that none of you reading this are smokers, so let's move on. Here are my top 5 BIG things. (And I promise never to lie to you again).
1. Eat breakfast. You wake up your metabolism and signal your body that you don't intend to continue starving it. (Remember, you just fasted for 8 or 9 or 10 hours. Your body is now concerned. If you don't deal with that concern in the morning, your body will want to store as many of the calories contained in the next meal you eat as fat – to guard against starvation.) If you've never heard of the Sumo Wrestler's "Diet," this is how it works: Starve the body all day, then eat all your calories at once. Then go to sleep. That's how Sumo Wrestler's put on all that weight. They DON'T eat 7000 calories a day. They eat a moderate 2500-3500. At one meal. Of course, breakfast is nutrient-dense, protein-rich, calorie-controlled. Greek yogurt, blueberries and chopped almonds, for example. Sorry, pan au chocolat n'est pas bien.
2. Trade your desk for a standing desk (or even a treadmill desk). Sitting is the new smoking! Sitting for hours negates the fitness benefits of the time you spend in the gym or the lovely long walk you took with your dog. I'm sorry. It's true. Proceedings of the Mayo Clinic just reported that, for every hour of sitting, you wipe out 14 percent of the health benefits of one hour of exercise. That means 7 hours of sitting puts you back at square one.
3. Sleep 7 hours. Or, gasp, even 8 if you can manage it. (I can't.) I've gotten along on 6 hours a night for years and years because I love early mornings but can't seem to get in bed until 11 (and then read for a half hour). By "gotten along," I mean I have the energy to do what I need and want to do during the day. But the health and antiaging benefits of 7-8 hours of sleep are undeniable.
4. Find and/ or cultivate a fitness buddy or posse. Friendships grounded in physical activity (as opposed to meeting up for drinks or dinner) are rich and rewarding, a fun way to stay on track, a great way to keep moving and stay accountable. When I hooked up with the Sweat Chicas, my fitness life got a HUGE boost.
5. Eat (mostly) plants.Filed under Posts | Comments (4)

This was my HG conditioner for YEARS. Loved it, until they sold out and changed the formula. Now it is loaded with silicone and it is horrible. Really, if you are going to use conditioner of this quality, just go to the dollar store and get their cheapest brand and save yourself the money.
I'm still so disappointed that the formula is completely different and cheaply reformulated. :(

I love this! I have been looking for a good shampoo/conditioner for a long time. I came across this and wow! It makes my hair look GREAT. Moisturizes very well! I will continue using this product. If you have dry/damaged hair, I would recommend this for sure.

I didn't think it was possible to be in love with a Shampoo and Conditioner like this, but well, I am totally and utterly in love with these by Nexxus!!. I found the 1L bottles and bought both the Shampoo and Conditioner. I've never used it before and now i wish i had been all along. The shampoo leaves my hair sooooooo soft while i'm washing my hair with it. And this matching Conditioner, Humectress, Ultimate moisturizing Conditioner is Divine as well!!!!. They both leave my hair feeling really,really soft after. And i love the scent of both. Almost Candy, Vanilla smelling to me, and i love that smell!!. I'm anxious to see how long the liter bottles will last me. My hair is Platinum/white blonde, and because of all that i've done to it, they are extremely dry and very fragile. So i needed something like this to help with the dryness. And they do, both of them!!. I highly recommend these!!.

Favorite conditioner! I use it along with the Therappe shampoo and argan oil in my hair and it's perfect. My hair feels luxurious and soft with this stuff. It smells absolutely amazing (a tropical coconut scent) and it's so creamy. My hair feels nice and detangled after I use this. I absolutely love it, totally recommended!

This is my HG conditioner. I focus this on my ends then rub the remainder in to the roots of my hair. One thing love about this is that it smells AMAZING. My hair length is below my belly button and i can get split ends plus dryness easily. After using this, my hair is easier to comb through and is very moisturizing. Can't wait to get another cool curvy looking bottle (:

I bought this in conjunction with the Therappe shampoo (a liter of each, nice pairing btw) and sadly I'm running pretty low. I use way more condish than poo so I guess that should be expected. Anyway, I really like this conditioner when I wear my hair curly. I get very defined curls that feel super moisturized and smooth. Slightly weighed down, but I don't mind since I'm wearing it curly. That being said, I do not like to use this before I flat-iron my hair. This is too heavy for a straight look...it does seem to weigh my hair down and leave a residue that does not work well with a flatiron. I tried it several times and hated the result (even after using a small amount of this and making sure I rinsed it out thoroughly), so I reserve this for when I wear my hair curly. I don't think this is good for thin/fine hair as it doesn't provide much volume/bounce. Coarse/curlies will appreciate this as a rich thick condish IMO.

My hair feels so icky after using this. I'm so disappointed. It feels dry with a layer of oil (or silicone, really) over it. My hair is still poufy but feels weighed down. ICKY. What a horrible waste of money.

I bought this thinking it would be the best conditioner I could buy at a drugstore but I was wrong, and wasted my money. This hardly does anything to my hair, when I rinse it out it's as dry as it was after I shampooed. It gets one point for smelling good, and another for not further drying my hair. It just doesn't do anything at all.

The wild things--with their mismatched parts and giant eyes--manage somehow to be scary-looking without ever really being scary; at times they're downright hilarious. Sendak's defiantly run-on sentences--one of his trademarks--lend the perfect touch of stream of consciousness to the tale, which floats between the land of dreams and a child's imagination.
This Sendak classic is more fun than you've ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that there's no place like home. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Midweek Mysticism: Neuroscientist goes to heaven
Very early one morning four years ago, I awoke with an extremely intense headache. Within hours, my entire cortex—the part of the brain that controls thought and emotion and that in essence makes us human—had shut down. Doctors at Lynchburg General Hospital in Virginia, a hospital where I myself worked as a neurosurgeon, determined that I had somehow contracted a very rare bacterial meningitis that mostly attacks newborns. E. coli bacteria had penetrated my cerebrospinal fluid and were eating my brain. ... For seven days I lay in a deep coma, my body unresponsive, my higher-order brain functions totally offline.He continues, "There is no scientific explanation for the fact that while my body lay in coma, my mind—my conscious, inner self—was alive and well. ... my brain-free consciousness journeyed to another, larger dimension of the universe." It's interesting that Dr Alexander continually refers to this dimension as "the afterlife", so certain is he that this will be his experience following his actual bodily death. Many mystics, and others who have had similar episodes, will confirm his diagnosis. It is as "real" as the world around us right now. Actually, there's no reason to suppose that this life is not a spiritual experience too, a sort of Out of Bounds course to make us ready for higher states of being. But back to Alexander's account: what he experienced was a full-blown tour of "heaven", beyond intermediate states, which often occurs very close to death. Remember, his brain was being eaten alive by bacteria and the thinking/emotional part was completely closed down. This was the big bazooka. In this life many people get introductions to higher-level states. The first serious one is being bathed in "divine light". Beyond that lies an initial tentative out-of-body excursion which includes the powerful moment of an address by a superior being. For both experiences, one remains in touch with this world and can see it. Alexander had temporarily lost his brain-led ability to be in this world. His spirit/consciousness simply floated up into levels above where others were aware of his plight and greeted and guided him, as described in the article. As he so eloquently puts it: "My near-death experience ... took place not while my cortex was malfunctioning, but while it was simply off. ... According to current medical understanding of the brain and mind, there is absolutely no way that I could have experienced even a dim and limited consciousness during my time in the coma, much less the hyper-vivid and completely coherent odyssey I underwent." There are many such testimonies around describing in minute detail the glories of an afterlife. Science, as always, crowds them out, either from a belief (and it is a belief) that they are plain wrong, or from a deep prejudice that they cannot be right. If we -- the human race -- are fully to come to terms with this life as it truly is, we must stop listening to the wilder fringes of scientific opinion, such as Richard Dawkins, and accept that "there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in [their] philosophy". FACT! John Evans ... who is the author of The Eternal Quest for Immortality: Is it staring you in the face? Available from Amazon and all good booksellers.

Eskom to complete CSP design by 2013, commission plant in 2016Back

Speaking at the Solar South Africa conference, in Johannesburg, he said that the parastatal wanted to push the technology boundary through the completion of what would be the largest CSP plant in the world.
The design of the plant would have to be finalised by 2013, MacColl said. "We hope to commission the plant by 2016, which gives us two-and-a-half years of build time. By mid-2013, we have to finalise the design for the plant, with molten salt central receiver our preferred option," he told Engineering News Online.
In line with the environmental-impact assessment (EIA), Eskom hoped to build a 100-MW central receiver demonstration plant with molten salt as a heat transfer fluid. It would appoint an owner's engineer as the first step in the commercial process, to support it in the development and execution of the project.
But, the engineering design, finding a suitable firm to work with Eskom as an owners engineer and preparing the package to go out as an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to the market, remained a challenge, MacColl said.
The utility was currently assessing a large number of applications, after a request for expressions of interest for the provision of EPC services was put out in April.
It would appoint an EPC contractor and a planning and design contractor by 2012.
Should Eskom not start construction by 2015, and should it change the proposed design from the envisaged central receiver plant, it would have to revise its approved EIA.
Possible plant specifications included capacity factors suitable for base-load operation, and two tank storage systems, with molten salt, designed to operate the power plant as a base-load plant. The plant would have a dry-cooled or hybrid-cooled design to ensure efficient use of water. Further, all auxiliary power would be sourced from the national grid and backup would be sourced from diesel generators, with the life-of-plant being a minimum of 25 years. A water supply contract has also been secured with the Upington municipality.
The land on which the CSP plant would be built was adjacent to the 5 000 MW solar park, in Upington, for which the South African government has committed R18.6-million to complete a feasibility study.
"This is exciting in that we are now collaborating with government to do a conceptual layout that would add value to both solar parks as opposed to treating them as separate entities.
"Eskom is working quite closely with government and their consultants on a design for the park that will share a common ground, servitude and services – this will make more sense for the country than working as separate entities," MacColl told Engineering News Online.
Advantages of the land selected for the demonstration site included it being a good solar resource, with a plant capacity factor of 70% and high solar insolation of 8 kWh/m2 a day, and that it had the potential capacity of at least 600 MW, made up of the 100 MW from the CSP demonstration plant and the 500 MW from a commercial plant.
It was also in close proximity to existing transmission lines, national and main roads.
Meanwhile, Eskom is also changing its position on photovoltaic (PV), driven purely by the need to better understand PV, he said. "Eskom is taking progressive, small steps with regard to this technology, which we believe is an emerging and mature technology."
Two tenders to generate 1 MW of power from PV for the Kendal power station, in Mpumalanga, and the Lethabo power station, in the Free State, were out. The 1 MW would be used internally, for example, to power pumps and compressors.
Eskom is also installing PV at a parking facility at its Megwatt Park offices, in Sandton.
However, he said in line with moving towards cleaner technologies, CSP was the "technology of choice". But, MacColl said the utility would also look to PV and a combination of other technologies in future.
"Eskom strategic drivers require a large scale diversification into lower carbon technologies, and this diversification will be based on South Africa's solar resources and the advantages of central receiver with storage, making the choice of the CSP demonstraion plant project an attractive option, " he concluded.

Looking for a fun person to get to know and...
Looking for a fun person to get to know and spend time with. Life is too short to waste time in bars trying to meet real people. I love spending time in the outdoors, especially fishing and am looking for someone who is outgoing as well. I am attracted to people who are independent, confident, and not afraid to be themselves. Outgoing, fun, and career oriented, but still easy going. Someone who would be willing to jump on a plane last minute, but also content with just spending time at home watching a movie. A person that is genuinely fun to be with in any situation, maybe a little silly and can laugh at herself. Someone who thinks family is very important too.
Camping , Cooking , Fishing/Hunting , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing
Football, Hockey, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
I like pretty much most animals, but not the hugest fan of cats and small, lap dogs; don't really consider them real dogs.
Middle of the Road
Low-key bars, dive bars, and artistic/eclectic spots. Not a huge fan of the club scene and would rather have an intelligent conversation and get to know someone.
Favorite movies: Citizen Kane, Pulp Fiction, After the Wedding Favorite Music: John Butler Trio, Walk the Moon, mostly alternative rock music. I like almost all foods and trying new things TV Show: Family Guy, Wicked Tuna
I love to fish and do pretty much anything out on the water or outdoors. I think life is too short to waste a weekend at home, but at the same time I thoroughly enjoy just sitting at home after a long day and watching a good movie.

Gary Cooper of Safety National
New to town
Send this to a friend
- Diana Barr
Safety National hired Gary Cooper as association manager in its underwriting department. Cooper, 57, most recently served as a deputy insurance commissioner for Nevada.
Where did you go to school?
I went to Fort Hays State University, a small liberal arts college in Hays, Kan. I also went to the Loyola University School of Law and got my law degree in New Orleans.
You switched to insurance?
Pretty much my first real job was in insurance. I was a claim adjuster for six years and learned an awful lot about insurance and how important insurance is to people. And I had to talk to a lot of attorneys. I got interested in learning more about the law, so I went to night law school. I stayed in insurance after I graduated and passed the Louisiana Bar because I liked it, I enjoyed it.
Your new role?
To act as a liaison between Safety National and state regulators and to facilitate a conversation to strengthen the self-insurance-group concept in their eyes. Also I have a staff of six association underwriters that I manage.
I love live music, mainly blues and jazz. I've been to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival 21 times and hope to go again this spring. I'm also an avid reader. I like to read American history stuff. I like to go out to eat, drink a little wine.
