Calcium, the most common mineral in the body, plays an essential role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone and tooth formation.
Studies indicate that calcium plays a role in blood vessel contraction and dilation which affects blood pressure.
A constant level of calcium is maintained in body fluid and tissues so that these vital body processes function efficiently. More than 99 percent of body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth; the remaining 1 percent is found in blood, muscle, and the fluid between cells.
Calcium is lost from the body every day in urine and feces, and trace amounts are lost in sweat, shedding skin, hair, and nails. The lost calcium is normally replaced by calcium from food. If your diet does not contain enough calcium or if you don't absorb enough calcium from your food or supplements to replace the lost calcium, the body breaks down bone to get the calcium it needs.
To absorb enough calcium, your body also needs vitamin D. Your skin can make vitamin D when it is exposed to direct sunlight. Other sources of vitamin D are fatty fish, eggs, liver, butter, fortified foods such as milk and multivitamins. People at risk for having too little vitamin D are elderly adults, those in institutions and some people with chronic neurological or gastrointestinal diseases. People living in northern latitudes may need supplements in the winter to maintain adequate vitamin D levels.
According to the Office of Dietary Supplements of the National Institutes of Health, the amount of calcium you need each day depends on your age:
Children ages 1 to 3 years need 700 milligrams (mg) a day.
Children 4 to 8 years old need 1,000 mg a day.
Children 9 to 18 need 1,300 mg a day.
Adults ages 19 to 50 should get 1,000 mg a day.
Ages 50 to 70: Men should get 1,000 mg a day; women should get 1,200 mg a day.
Both men and women older than 70 should get 1,200 mg a day.
The best way to get calcium is from food. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends a minimum of three cups of nonfat or low-fat vitamin D-fortified milk or equivalent milk products each day.
A consistent level of calcium in the body's fluids and tissues is needed for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and transmission of messages through the nervous system. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake throughout a person's lifetime can help build and maintain proper bone mass, helping to prevent osteoporosis.
Calcium from dairy products in combination with a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy can help keep blood pressure in check and help prevent the absorption of dietary fat; this helps decrease blood cholesterol.
Calcium may need a boost from other nutrients to help achieve these health benefits. In most studies that looked at calcium and prevention of disease, milk was the major source of calcium. In addition to calcium, milk contains potassium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin A. The extent to which these other components work with calcium to prevent conditions is not known.
To ensure you consume enough calcium each day, start with food and drink. Calcium in food is better absorbed by the body than calcium in a supplement. The additional compounds in dairy products act with calcium to promote its benefits. Strive to consume at least three calcium-rich foods daily such as low-fat or nonfat yogurt, 1 percent or skim milk, low-fat ice cream, calcium-fortified orange or grapefruit juice, low-fat cheese and low-fat cottage cheese.
Also, look for foods with added calcium such as rice and some breakfast cereals.
If you're lactose intolerant, don't avoid dairy products. Lactose intolerance is easy to manage.
Aged cheese and yogurt tend to be more easily digested by people who are lactose intolerant; eat them in small quantities along with other food. Foods made with active or "live" cultures, like yogurt or buttermilk, are also easier to digest because their "friendly" bacteria help digest lactose. Other options include lactose-free milk, lactose-free cottage cheese and nondairy sources of calcium, such as calcium-fortified soy milk, tofu, baked beans, almonds, broccoli, kale and other dark green leafy vegetables, and canned salmon and sardines with the bones. For canned fish, you need to eat the bones to get the calcium.
Vitamin D is necessary for your body to absorb the calcium you get from foods or supplements. You can get vitamin D from foods fortified with it or by spending five to 30 minutes in the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at least two times per week. Adults 19 to 50 need at least 600 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day; those 51 and older need 800 IU a day.
Although lots of foods contain calcium, for the most part, people are still not meeting the recommended intake.
If you're not consuming at least three calcium-rich foods per day, consider taking a calcium supplement. If you use a supplement, however, don't depend on it to meet your calcium needs.
A good bet: Take a 500 mg calcium supplement each day and try to get the remaining 500 to 700 mg of calcium from food. In order to absorb the most calcium, you should take only 500 mg or less at one time.
Calcium supplements come in different forms, such as calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. Some have vitamin D added to them for extra benefit. Calcium carbonate is affordable and is also found in some antacid tablets. Because it relies on stomach acid for absorption, it is absorbed best when taken with food. Calcium citrate is absorbed the same with or without food and is good for people with low stomach acid.
Research indicates that calcium citrate is absorbed better than other supplements, such as calcium carbonate. But to enhance a calcium supplement's absorption, take it with a citrus-based food, such as orange juice.

DEFINITION of 'Resistance (Resistance Level)'
A chart point or range that caps an increase in the level of a stock or index over a period of time. An area of resistance or resistance level indicates that the stock or index is finding it difficult to break through it, and may head lower in the near term. The more times that the stock or index has tried unsuccessfully to break through the resistance level, the more formidable that area of resistance becomes.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Resistance (Resistance Level)'
Resistance and support levels are widely used by experienced traders to formulate trading strategies. For example, if a stock is approaching a very strong resistance level, a trader may prefer to close the position rather than take the risk of a significant decline if the stock uptrend reverses.
On an interesting note, resistance levels can often turn into support areas once they have been breached. In a strong uptrend, investors and traders will embark on a buying spree once a stock conclusively breaks through resistance, sending it sharply higher. But traders and investors who missed the move may wait on the sidelines for a better price. This pent-up demand can become a source of support for the stock as it approaches the earlier resistance level.

Tertiary Education
Commonwealth Supported Places
The government supports domestic students undertaking higher education by funding Commonwealth Supported Places (previously called 'HECS' places). These places are subsidised by the government so that students only have to pay 'student contribution' amounts for their units of study. Although Commonwealth Supported Places are mainly offered at undergraduate level at public universities, they are also available in some fields at postgraduate level and at some private higher education providers.
Students who do not have access to a Commonwealth Supported Place will generally be required to pay full fees, which are set by the relevant provider. While fee-paying places are not subsidised, the government offers the FEE-HELP or VET FEE-HELP loan schemes to assist eligible fee-paying students to pay their tuition fees. Fee-paying places are mainly offered at private education providers and at postgraduate level at universities.
Higher Education Loan Program
The HELP scheme offers a suite of loans for different types of study. The scheme provides income-contingent loans to eligible higher education and vocational education students to assist with tuition costs.
HELP loans are not available to pay for items like equipment, textbooks or other items specified in the 'Additional costs' section.
HECS-HELP assists eligible higher education students enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place to pay their student contribution amounts. Under HECS-HELP, eligible students can use a loan or receive a discount for up-front student contribution payments of $500 or more. There is no limit on the amount of HECS-HELP an eligible person can use.
OS-HELP assists eligible students enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place to undertake some of their undergraduate studies overseas. Eligible students are only entitled to two OS-HELP loans over their lifetime.
FEE-HELP is available to assist eligible higher education students enrolled in a fee-paying place at an approved FEE-HELP provider to pay their tuition fees. There is a limit on the amount of FEE-HELP a person can use over their lifetime. This is known as the FEE-HELP limit, and is the same limit that applies to VET FEE-HELP.
VET FEE-HELP assists eligible students undertaking certain Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications at diploma and advanced diploma level, at an approved VET FEE-HELP provider, to pay for their tuition fees. Students in some subsided places in Victoria and South Australia are also able to access VET FEE-HELP. Providers in other states and territories will be able to start offering VET FEE-HELP for subsidised courses during 2013 and 2014. The Commonwealth is also working with jurisdictions to implement a trial of the extension of VET FEE-HELP to certain nominated certificate IV qualifications, which commenced in South Australia and Victoria in 2013.
Some universities and higher education providers also charge a student services and amenities fee to higher education students. SA-HELP is available to assist eligible students to pay this fee.
More information regarding Commonwealth Supported Places, eligibility criteria for HELP loans and a list of approved FEE-HELP and VET FEE-HELP providers is available from the Study Assist website at http://studyassist.gov.au or by calling the Department of Industry student enquiry line on 1800 020 108.
Australian Government Department of Human Services
The Department of Human Services is responsible for the development of service delivery policy and provides access to social, health and other payments and services. It was created on 26 October 2004 as part of the Finance and Administration portfolio.

Applying for Youth Allowance and Austudy
You need to lodge your claim for Youth Allowance or Austudy online. You should submit your claim 13 weeks before you start studying to ensure you are paid from the earliest possible date. If you lodge your claim later, you may have to wait longer for your payment to start. You can apply for a payment before you have course confirmation — just include your intended course details. Don't worry if these change, as you can update them later.
To make a claim, visit www.humanservices.gov.au, go to Centrelink Online Services and register or log on. You can use the self-service facilities at a Centrelink service centre if you do not have access to the internet.
If you are experiencing difficulties in your life or have complex needs, you can call or visit your local Centrelink service centre for help.
All Youth Allowance, Austudy and ABSTUDY students studying a higher education course or a preparatory course at a higher education institution (university, for example) are entitled to a Student Start-up Scholarship for each year of their course (two payments per year) to assist with the high up-front costs of textbooks and specialised equipment.
In addition, the Relocation Scholarship provides assistance with the cost of establishing accommodation for Youth Allowance or ABSTUDY students undertaking an approved scholarship course at a higher education institution who are:
- dependants living away from the family home for study; or
- independent students who are disadvantaged by personal and relationship circumstances and are unable to live in the family home.
Remote, rural and regional students receive a higher Relocation Scholarship payment rate for the second and third year they are required to live away from home to study.
The Relocation Scholarship is indexed annually.
Students who decide to take out a Student Start-up Loan will be required to repay the loan through the taxation system. The loan is repaid when your income reaches the amount where the Higher Education Loan Programme (HELP) debts become payable. For more information, visit www.humanservices.gov.au.
Recent changes to Youth Allowance, Austudy and ABSTUDY
On 1 July 2012, the personal income test threshold increased from $236 to $400 ($405 in 2013) a fortnight for full-time students and apprentices to enable them to earn more before their benefit payments are reduced. The maximum amount that a student can accumulate in their income bank also increased — from $6000 to $10,000 ($10,100 in 2013). Australian Apprentices can accumulate up to $1000 in their income bank.
A Student Assistance Estimator is also available on the Department of Human Services website, which allows students to enter their parents' income level and family type to gain an indication of the level of support they might expect to receive under the government's changes to student income support.
Assistance for Isolated Children
The Assistance for Isolated Children (AIC) Scheme provides financial assistance to families of primary, secondary and certain tertiary students who do not have reasonable daily access to an appropriate government school due to geographical isolation or because they have a special health need or disability.

Youth Connections
Youth Connections is a programme that helps young people stay in school, return to school or find alternate pathways that lead to attaining Year 12 or an equivalent certificate II qualification.
The Youth Connections programme is flexible and individualised for each young person. Youth Connections focuses on improving life skills as well as educational and personal development outcomes for young people facing significant difficulties.
For more information about Youth Connections, visit your local Centrelink service centre, visit http://transitions.youth.gov.au or speak with your school career adviser, welfare officer or teacher.
Skills for Education and Employment (SEE)
The Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) programme assists jobseekers whose basic English, reading, writing or mathematics skills are making it difficult for them to get a job or undertake further training. The programme helps to build the confidence and skills needed to get work or undertake further training.
For more information, visit your local Centrelink service centre or Employment Services Provider, phone 13 38 73 or visit www.industry.gov.au/see.
Employment assistance
Job Services Australia (JSA) is the Australian Government's national employment services system. JSA providers are organisations contracted by the government to provide employment services and are available across Australia in more than 1700 locations. They can provide or connect you to a wide range of government initiatives to give you the right skills and training you need to find and keep a job.
Connections for Quality is available on the Australian JobSearch website to assist you to make an informed choice when selecting your JSA provider. You will be able to access information about the range and diversity of individualised services offered by the JSA providers in your area. For more information, visit http://jobsearch.gov.au/connectionsforquality.aspx.
JSA will provide you with one-on-one assistance and tailored employment services.
Your JSA provider will work with you every step of the way by getting to know you and your individual circumstances. A consultant will offer assistance that will help you find and keep a job.
This assistance could include a range of services such as:
- help with writing a résumé
- provision of information about local employment opportunities
- tailored Employment Pathway Plans to suit your circumstances
- work experience opportunities
- access to new skills or qualifications
- help to overcome other barriers to employment.
If you are claiming Youth Allowance, are under 22 years of age and have not completed Year 12 or an equivalent qualification (certificate II or above), you must have full-time education or training, or a combination of study, training and other approved activities in your Employment Pathway Plan.
Your JSA provider will work with local employers, Registered Training Organisations; state, territory and local governments; community and health services; and other organisations. They will know where the jobs are and what to do to help you get one. You may have access to training, skills development and other flexible assistance when you require it. This includes gaining work experience and access to other initiatives.
Work experience activities can be part time, casual or full time and either paid or unpaid. Work experience will help you to gain new skills or further develop relevant workplace skills. It will also give you an opportunity to demonstrate your skills to potential employers, meet new work contacts and stay connected to the workforce. Taking part in work experience activities also provides opportunities for on-the-job and formal training that will increase your chances of getting and keeping a job.
Work experience activities can include:
- Work for the Dole and other voluntary work
- Green Corps environmental activities
- work in a social enterprise
- Drought Force
- Defence Force Reserves
- other employment and training programmes.
Other initiatives can also help you to overcome barriers to getting a job. You may be eligible for one of the following programmes:
- Australian Apprenticeships Access Programme — a free, nationally recognised industry training programme that gives you basic skills to help you secure an Australian Apprenticeship.
- Skills for Education and Employment (SEE Programme) — free training to improve your reading, writing or maths skills.
- New Enterprise Incentive Scheme — training, mentoring and support to help you start a small business.
Your JSA provider can offer you specialised services if you are assessed as being highly disadvantaged. Depending on the type of disadvantage you face, you can access specific services to help you find a job. Higher levels of funding and more assistance are available to help you if you are highly disadvantaged.
If you are homeless, a person with disability, an at-risk young person or experience mental health issues, your JSA provider will help you to get the support and assistance suited to your circumstances. This could include mental health support services, counselling, rehabilitation services, financial counselling or anger management programmes.
All JSA providers can deliver specific services to meet your needs if you are a highly disadvantaged jobseeker. You may also be given the choice of attending a specialist JSA provider, which operate in many locations across Australia (a youth or disability specialist, for example).
You can contact Centrelink to determine your eligibility for Job Services Australia assistance by calling 13 28 50. Alternatively, you can visit your local Centrelink service centre, which can be found at http://humanservices.findnearest.com.au.

Disability Employment Services
Disability Employment Services (DES) can help individuals with injury, disability or a health condition to secure and maintain sustainable employment. The services focus on the needs of jobseekers, with an increased emphasis on employment, skills development and education and training.
There are two separate programmes within DES. These include the Disability Management Service and Employment Support Service.
- The Disability Management Service provides assistance to jobseekers with disability, an injury or health condition who may require flexible ongoing support but are not expected to need regular, long-term support in the workplace.
- The Employment Support Service provides assistance to jobseekers with permanent disability who are assessed as needing regular, long-term ongoing support in the workplace to retain their job.
Disability Employment Services are delivered by a network of organisations — both large and small — around Australia. Disability Employment Services providers can work with you to develop an individual programme that focuses on your strengths and abilities, and the barriers you face in getting a job. Once you are placed in a job, your provider can also support you in the workplace if you need help to keep your job.
The 'Connections for Quality' page on the Australian JobSearch website contains useful information about DES providers in around the country. It includes the type of service that each provider offers, where the premises is located and how that provider will work with you. It can assist people with disability to make informed choices about which DES provider will best suit their needs. Participants can see how providers have helped other participants and the relationships the provider has in the community to assist with their individual needs and their pathway into employment.
For more information about how Disability Employment Services can help you, phone a JobAccess Adviser on 1800 464 800 or visit http://jobaccess.gov.au. To locate local Disability Employment Services providers, visit http://jobsearch.gov.au/connectionsforquality.aspx.
If you have a disability or mental health condition and are already in employment, you may also be eligible to access a range of services, including the Job in Jeopardy Assistance service and other assistance available through the JobAccess service. For more information, phone a JobAccess Adviser on 1800 464 800 or visit http://jobaccess.gov.au.
Assistance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jobseekers
The Department of Human Services, including specialist Indigenous Customer Service Officers, provides Indigenous jobseekers with advice and assistance about employment, including access to Job Services Australia and ABSTUDY.
Specialist Indigenous Job Services Australia members are available in some locations. The Department of Human Services can tell you if there is one in your area. For more information, visit www.humanservices.gov.au.
Indigenous Wage Subsidy
If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person and registered as a jobseeker with the Department of Human Services or a Job Services Australia provider, you may be eligible to attract the Indigenous Wage Subsidy when an employer offers you employment.
For more information, visit www.employment.gov.au/indigenous-wage-subsidy-iws or phone the Indigenous Employment Line on 1802 102 (Toll Free).
As of 1 July 2013, the Indigenous Wage Subsidy is no longer available to jobseekers in regions where the Remote Jobs and Communities Programme (RJCP) operates. However, RJCP providers have a range of measures available similar to the Indigenous Wage Subsidy, such as the Employment Pathway Fund and Wage Connect.

Indigenous Cadetship Support (ICS)
Indigenous Cadetship Support links Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tertiary students with employers in a cadetship arrangement involving full-time study and work placements. It assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students by providing funds to cover living costs while studying, as well as paid work experience during holiday and semester breaks throughout the year.
The Indigenous Cadetship Support Programme is not asset or means tested, and is open to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students studying for their first undergraduate degree.
For more information, visit www.employment.gov.au/indigenous-cadetship-support-ics or phone the Indigenous Employment Line on 1802 102 (Toll Free).
Indigenous Mentoring Pilot
The Indigenous Mentoring Pilot (the Pilot), which is to operate from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015, provides one-on-one intensive culturally appropriate pre-placement and post-placement (up to 26 weeks) mentoring support to voluntarily participating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jobseekers in 20 Employment Service Areas. Priority is given to jobseekers in JSA Service Streams 3 and 4.

Agilyx lands $22M from investors led by Kleiner Perkins
Send this to a friend
- Erik Siemers, Business Journal staff writer
Agilyx Corp.'s method of turning waste plastic into crude oil has now produced a roster of big-name investors.
The Tigard-based company on Thursday announced it has closed a $22 million Series B round, led by prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
The round also features participation from some giants in the world of waste and energy: Houston-based Waste Management Inc., the nation's largest waste industry player with $12.5 billion in revenue last year, and Paris-based Total S.A., one of the world's biggest gas and oil exploration companies with annual revenue of nearly $225 billion.
In addition, the round included participation from previous venture capital investors; Vancouver, British Columbia-based Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, London-based Saffron Hill Ventures and Portland-based Reference Capital, which each contributed to a $4.25 million Series A round in April 2009.
Amol Deshpande, a member of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Beyer's GreenTech Investment Team, will join the Agilyx board of directors.
The inclusion of such big-ticket names lends further validity to the market acceptance of the company's technology, said Agilyx CEO Chris Ulum.
"No question that this is a huge milestone for us," Ulum said.
Founded in 2004 when it was known as Plas2Fuel, 30-person Agilyx has developed a technology that efficiently melts waste plastics, turning it from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas that is condensed into a synthetic crude oil.
The company is credited with being the first to sell crude made from waste plastics to a commercial refinery.

- We love to dine at ArtistaOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/18/2014We dine at Artista before attending a production at the Hobby Center. They really know how to take care of a show crowd. Prompt service without feeling hurried. The food is delicious if a bit pricey and the wait staff is excellent.I would recommend this to a friend.
- I love the food and the service.LisaVIPDined on 11/17/2014The service is awesome and it is always a pleasant experience. The food choices lunch or dinner is just superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- AverageCharlesDined on 10/19/2014Went there before show at Hobby...wasn't bad but no wow factor...service was averageI would recommend this to a friend.
- Price has gone way up. Too expensijm4cloudDined on 10/19/2014Prices are too expensive for the quality and amount of food you receive. I am not eating here again.Special Features:
- Perfect for the theaterFirecrackerVIPDined on 10/19/2014Delicious food - great service - and so nice when attending the theater.Special Features:
- KeithKeithDined on 10/19/2014The service was excellent and the food is very good. We had a wonderful time.Special Features:
- Special Eventhawk23nightoutDined on 10/19/2014My wife and I always dine at Artista when we drive down to Houston for a Broadway play. It is a rare treat for us as we have a disabled child and we have to hire a caretaker and it makes the evening quite costly. However, it is worth it as the ambiance and service are always outstanding.Special Features:
- Sometimes great and sometimes not!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/19/2014I have been here several tines always before a show. The past two times my food was terribly prepared and had to send it back. Burned lobster and over and under cooked steaks. Sloppy presentation and our waiter was terrible and they weren't even half full. Use to love dining here before a show but for the price I tjjnkni might find another option before s show.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingWandaDined on 10/19/2014Having dined here on several previous occasions, I was extremely disappointed ! The service, food quality and the noise level have all declined. The service was extremely slow. Hostess offered black napkins when we sat down, but never returned with the napkins. My fellow diner ordered the chicken salad sandwich, which came with such a small amount of chicken salad on the sandwich, she could not taste chicken. Following the meal, we waited almost 15 minutes for the waiter to return with the check. The noise level was very high. Seems the presence of some VIP diner caused lots of running and noisy conferences between staff members. Overall, not a good experience. The rest of the theater season I will dine elsewhere.
- impeccable service, excellent foodJunaidaJDined on 10/18/2014we had pre-theater dinner at Arista - food, ambiance and service was excellent and will be visiting again. Be sure to reserve table a few weeks early if you want your time slot - it gets busy 1.5 hours before theater start time.Special Features:
- Poor food and servicefoodie567Dined on 10/16/2014Our table was horrible - upstairs by the service kitchen. None of the staff knew who was doing what. Food was cold and some of it had to go back. The coffee was cold and stale. Not a good experience at all.Special Features:
- Always good foodMagnificentVIPDined on 10/15/2014Artista is a wonderful place to go for a meal or for a meal before a play. Excellent food, always great service. Ask for Cici and let her take care of everything. Naomi runs the place and works hard to treat guests as VIPs. Great wine list too. Ask for a table outside when the weather is nice and enjoy the view of downtown.Special Features:
- Not too KindTerryDined on 10/14/2014We had an elderly gentleman who has difficulty walking. Our reserved table was upstairs. We were early, prior to a show, and although many tables downstairs were open the host stated that they were reserved as well. He could have switched tables if he wanted to. Although our guest made it up the stairs, it put an overall damper on our experience. I realize that I should have let you know this prior to our arrival but I still feel you were inconsiderate in not resolving the problem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely fantastic!BrieDined on 10/13/2014Absolutely delicious with fantastic ambiance and views. The 3-story glass windows provide a great view, especially during the intense rain storm outside. This lunch was such a special treat for my in-laws out of town from New Zealand. They can't wait to come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for before show!Ingrid61VIPDined on 10/4/2014We always go before a show, the service is the best food is superb! The wine list is great, and the service staff they are always great! we always try to get the chef special, but if not the Churrasco is great, the sea bass is very good!Special Features:
- kellyDined on 10/4/2014We went before a show, very convenient! . There was not a show on the main stage so things at the restaurant were calm. Im sure if there was a big show it would have been different, more crazy ,louder. We would go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 10/3/2014I don't envy management at Artista. During shows at Sarofim Hall in the Hobby Center, Artista is slammed from 6 to 8 with diners on a short string angling to get to opening curtain. But on nights without such shows, there is often barely a trickle of diners as was the case this past Friday evening. Even so, Artista seemed short staffed even with the small crowd. While we still love the food-especially starters such as the crawfish tacquitos and any seafood entree-the prices have gone way up over the last year. I get there is a captive audience on show nights and price your menu accordingly, but it will keep us away for a while as there are many other spots not charging as much. And don't get me started on the ridiculously priced wine list.Special Features:
- Love this locationKatherineDined on 9/28/2014The food is amazing and the staff are like ninjas. So quick and always treating you like kings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeJNPWDined on 9/28/2014Return visit for 1; excellent as usual. 2 new visitors enjoyed wine, appetizers, and excellent meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunchiheartyeemeeDined on 9/28/2014We had a great lunch then went to the matinee, which made a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Food and service were wonderful, and the restaurant is comfortable and very nice.Special Features:
- Pre Show havenMorese1VIPDined on 9/27/2014We had a lovely dinner at artista prior to seeing our show. I made a 545 reservation and was immediately reassured the table was ours until the show. Our waiter was attentive and the food was delicious. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AlwaysVIPDined on 9/27/2014What is it with some waiters and pouring wine? They expect to be tipped on the full amount of the bill, which I agree, but then they leave you alone after the food is served as the wine is self service. I understand sometimes they get busy and/or do not notice for a few minutes, but I poured entire bottle myself, even though the waiter was not that busy and saw my wine glass near empty several times. Restaurants- train your wait staff!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/27/2014Good food and great service. Artista for lunch and the matinee TUTS performance is the perfect entertainment combination.Special Features:
- Good experiencFeeeeeeedMeVIPDined on 9/26/2014I've been here a number of times, but this time for a work-related lunch. Our waiting was good at timing things, and our lunch was fantastic. We both had the roasted salmon and it was the best salmon dish I've had in a long long time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Show stopperElizabethDined on 9/24/2014Dinner at Artista is a must before a show --- the food was fabulous! Don't know which I liked better -- Artista or Victor, Victoria!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's a treat to visitStephanieDined on 9/21/2014Artista is absolutely lovely: the food, the service, the atmosphere - it's expensive, but worth it. It's a perfect little pre-theatre indulgence, and as an added bonus, you can walk directly into the Hobby Center.Special Features:
- DisappointedLjmcDined on 9/20/2014Too pricey for what is served. Good was good for 3 of 4 of us. Much too loud to carry on a conversation. Sorry. Was hopeful it would be better.Special Features:
- Perfect for a show at Hobby CenterYumB4ShowDined on 9/18/2014We decided to try Artista out so we wouldn't be late to our show. Our server was amazing!! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and curious. The food was pricey, but so yummy! We recommend the scallops and steak...mmmmm Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fine Restaurant for Lunch GroupTJinABDined on 8/28/2014Perfect atmosphere for a group of seven, round table, well appointed, low noise level (although it was not busy the day we were there), very open and bright space, high ceilings. Great choices on the menu...South American fusion...Seafood Paella was fantastic!Special Features:
- Lovely eveningsendlimesDined on 8/23/2014A fun dinner out while taking advantage of Houston Restaraunt Week? Everything was delicious, our only complaint was a cup of lobster bisque that was served "cool", but this was remedied quickly by our excellent waiter.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/22/2014Went to an HRW dinner Friday night with 4 of us. Although there was no public performance at the Hobby that evening, there was a local group hosting a function in the theater, so there was a bit larger crowd than there otherwise would have been. The 4 of us enjoyed the empanadas, tuna taquito and salad for starters. I really liked the shrimp masala with polenta--4 grilled shrimp atop a bed of creamy polenta with a small cup of masala to spread as you wish. I added a side of the sesame spinach and enjoyed the flavor combinations greatly. The only dish that wasn't enjoyed was the plantain crusted chicken. Iris did a good job as our waitress for the evening as others have mentioned.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Texan2theboneDined on 8/22/2014The service was perfect. The food was good but the Emanadas were a little over fried.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go elsewhereFoodieVIPDined on 8/22/2014My parents went here several years ago and we returned before a performance at the Hobby Center. Unfortunately the best thing we had all night was the plantain chips which came as a starter. The lobster bisque was too salty to finish. The beef with chimichurri sauce was edible, but nothing exciting since that sauce was used for the plantain chips. The plantain crusted chicken was like regular fried chicken from any fast food joint. The fish dish suffered from poor fish selection and was a bit overcooked. The ambience was great, but the food failed to live up to my expectations.

No more Mister nice guys. The cardigan sweaters and friendly local John Michaels are gone, and have been replaced with power suits and a pit bull attorney. I make both observations in a complementary manner. They looked great in blue suits and a pit bull is the best of the best if you want representation in the law.
We now know all about Tolls, Statues, and Memorialization. We are into phase two of driving the Woodmont train down the track, an accelerated track, a fast track, and a short track.
I'm all for getting this thing done. Many in town would like to return to their day jobs and their life before Andres Dway.
So let's all toot the whistle, ring the bell and get going.
Let's fix this thing post haste.
First fix the number. Everyone knows that 1300 dwellings is a fudge number and even if approved it couldn't be built. Let's be reasonable and save a lot of time and effort and a train wreck, and get a real number on the table. 500 is over the top for 650 acres of ledge, wetlands and hillsides in Londonderry. Let's begin with 300 and let the high priced dream team show us how and why they should be built in our town.
Next to save time before the third party reviewer parachutes in, how about fixing some details up front. Over and above the fudge number of dwellings, there are little things like a 25yr flood drainage standard (Hundred year flood systems are regularly overwhelmed in southern New Hampshire.) One inch drainage pipes all over 650 acres will save a lot of money no doubt, but they will not save time in getting a master plan approved. These and many other "little " details have to be dealt with before this train leaves the station.
So let's get moving. Portsmouth can not be moved to Londonderry. Wanna push that? Sounds like a train wreck in the making.
Best you watch the video of last night's meeting for a full feel for phase II of Woodmont.
The suits and the "Tolls and Memorials" are best seen in context.
This is the section of the December 14, 2011 planning board that related to the Woodmont Commons Project.
This is my signed report on last nights meeting. (Full disclosure: the drainage detail was supplied but a PE Civil Engineer who has been looking things over for our group. His full set of observations will be shared when they come in. Hopefully by that time the applicant will have done a resubmission.)
I'm not a journalist, but I play one on TV.
"Jack Falvey Et al:" provides a hometown analysis of Woodmont Commons. Since attending the design charrette offered by the developers of the project Jack has been asking questions, you too have been asking questions, many to Jack himself. He has provided thoughtful analysis from his point of view and shared it back to the questioner and a growing list of Londonderry residents wanting of more information.
As they become available we will provide these questions to our readers and the search engines. We hope to provide a broader view of the project through the eyes of someone that came to town in the 1960′s. Jack raised a family here, volunteered in local government and founded his company "Making the Numbers" after a career at Gillette. As a motivational speaker and a prolific writer with major media outlets his views on the project may take you by surprise!

Flushing the contents of passenger-car commodes onto the tracks is a time- honored tradition in the 160-year history of passenger-train travel, and a practice born of necessity, Amtrak officials say.
But tradition or not, state prosecutors think Amtrak needs some toilet training in order to protect the environment.
``We don`t think it`s appropriate,`` said Dennis Bayer, an assistant state attorney.
The Putnam County State Attorney`s Office charged Amtrak last week with three counts of commercial littering, a third-degree felony, for allegedly dumping ``raw sewage`` from its trains into the St. Johns River and its tributary, Rice Creek, in north-central Florida.

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Crossposted from: http://thehumblei.com/2012/09/29/have-we-weaned-ourselves-from-the-dunya/ The idea of weaning the soul away from the world, even as a child is weaned off the breast, is a cornerstone of Islam's teachings. Most men's hearts, though, are engrossed in this world; are captive to its vanities; and harbour intense love for its appetities. Beautified for mankind is the love of desires – for women, children, hoarded heaps of gold and silver, branded horses, cattle and plantations. Such are the comforts of the life of this world; but with God is the more excellent abode. [3:14] True piety, then, is not about what we profess outwardly; it is what we are and aspire to inwardly. Whoever aspires to the harvest of the Hereafter, We increase his harvest; and whoever aspires to the harvest of this world, We will grant him something thereof; but in the Hereafter he shall have no share. [42:20] How may we know if our souls have been weaned off the world or not? We only have to ask ourselves: 'What do I really desire?', 'What do I most hunger for?' For no matter what you offer it, or put into its hand, the unweaned child cries for the breast! Nothing can quiet it until it is laid to the breast. Thus, what is it that stills our mind or quenches our desire? If it is worldly pleasures and comforts, fame or status, or the constant urge to take a comfort trip to the local shopping mall, then our souls have yet to be weaned away from worldliness. Al-Busiri, the poet, reminds us: wa'l-nafsu ka'l-tifli in tuhmilhu shabba 'ala hubbi'l-rada'i wa in taftimhu yanfatimi – 'The ego is like a child; ignore it and it will grow still suckling. But if you wean it, it will soon lose its desire for the breast.' The things of the world are beautified for mankind since they can and must be used to live in this world. Yet they are only a means to an end; they can never be made an end in themselves. Man must never lose sight of his final destination or his ultimate goal: 'But seek the abode of the Hereafter in that which God has given you, and do not forget your portion of the world; and be kind, even as God has been kind to you.' [28:77] Weaning isn't, therefore, to be without the world. It is possible to have things of the world and yet be weaned from the world. Ibn Taymiyyah was once asked as to the proper relationship the believer should have with wealth and other material goods. He offered this timely piece of advice: 'We must view wealth much as we do the toilet, in that we resort to it whenever needed, but it has no place in our hearts.'1 Of course, weaning is something of a gradual process. If a suckling child is weaned off the breast too suddenly, without a suitable substitute, it can cause great distress; haste can seriously harm. Likewise, weaning ourselves from the world (dunya) must be done by degrees. In respect to the degrees of worldly detachment, or zuhd, imam Ahmad b. Hanbal said: 'Zuhd is of three degrees: Firstly, leaving what is prohibited (haram); this is the zuhd of the masses. Secondly, leaving what is uncalled for of the lawful (al-fudul min al-halal); this is the zuhd of the elite. Thirdly, leaving whatever distracts you from God; which is the zuhd of the gnostics ('arifin).'2 The first level is an obligation on each Muslim; the second, highly desirable; the third, the sought after goal. I'll conclude with what Shaykh Jalil Ahmad Akhoon, a contemporary shaykh of sulukor spiritual wayfaring, said about detachment by degrees: As one begins to fill their hearts with love of God and His remembrance, love of dunyais gradually driven away. Imagine it to be a plane journey, he said. If, while the plane is still on the tarmac, one peers out of the cabin window, other airplanes and the airport buildings look large and imposing. But when the plane takes off and gradually climbs upwards, those very same objects appear to look smaller and smaller; until they seem insignificant and just disappear. Likewise, as we make a serious effort to fill our heart with love of God, and as the heart soars higher and higher in its journey to Him, dunya becomes tinier and tinier in its estimation, until it dwindles or disappears. And God is the Granter of grace. ≈ 1. Majmu' Fatawa (Riyadh: Dar 'Alam al-Kutub, 1991), 10:663. 2. Cited in Ibn al-Qayyim, Madarij al-Salikin (Riyadh: Dar Tayyibah, 2008), 2:181.

AP Religion Writer
A canon lawyer alleging a widespread cover-up of clergy sex misconduct in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has made her most detailed claims yet, accusing archbishops and their top staff of lying to the public and of ignoring the U.S. bishops' pledge to have no tolerance of priests who abuse.
Jennifer Haselberger, who spent five years as Archbishop John Nienstedt's archivist and top adviser on Roman Catholic church law, also charged that the church used a chaotic system of record-keeping that helped conceal the backgrounds of guilty priests who remained on assignment.
Haselberger said that when she started examining records in 2008 of clergy under restrictions over sex misconduct with adults and children she found "nearly 20" of the 48 men still in ministry. She said she repeatedly warned Nienstedt and his aides about the risk of these placements, but they took action only in one case. As a result of raising alarms, she said she was eventually shut out of meetings about priest misconduct. She resigned last year.
"Had there been any serious desire to implement change, it could have been done quickly and easily with the stroke of a single pen," Haselberger wrote in the affidavit, released Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by attorney Jeff Anderson. "The archbishop's administrative authority in his diocese is basically unlimited."
The archdiocese has for years pledged it was following the national bishops' policy, known as the "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People," which lays out a series of requirements -- from conducting background checks to alerting parishioners about offender priests and barring guilty clergy from parish assignments. Archbishop Harry Flynn, who led the Minneapolis archdiocese until retiring in 2008, was an architect of the 12-year-old plan.
But Haselberger said she discovered in 2008 that the archdiocese hadn't conducted background checks on most priests since the early 1990s. When she drew attention to the lapse, she said she was told to eliminate references to the date of background checks in a form pledging a priest is suitable for ministry.
Haselberger said scattered among storage locations throughout the archdiocese, she found priests' records, including the history of allegations against them, their compliance with the monitoring program and evidence of their misconduct. "The presence of so many files in so many different locations meant that often important information did not make its way into the priest's personnel file," she said.
She also said the archdiocese gave inaccurate information to auditors hired by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to monitor dioceses' compliance with the child protection plan. Haselberger noted the auditors didn't have access to church files to check whether the archdiocese's report matched the records. "They would have found out that it did not," she said.
Auxiliary Bishop Andrew Cozzens said in a statement that Haselberger's "recollections are not always shared by others within the archdiocese." He said the archdiocese was taking steps toward "greater transparency and accountability."
Since the clergy abuse scandal began in 1984, then erupted into a national crisis in 2002, the American church has been flooded with revelations -- from civil lawsuits, grand jury inquiries and the bishops' own research -- about how dioceses consistently put the interests of the church above victims. Still, Haselberger's accusations stand out because of her credentials and timing.
She is the highest-level official from a U.S. diocese to make claims of a cover-up. A canon lawyer educated at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, she served as a judge on church tribunals in Minnesota and was trained through the U.S. bishops' conference on child safety and monitoring guilty clergy.
Also, Haselberger is coming forward in what Anderson calls "real time." The bulk of previous disclosures about U.S. bishops sheltering abusers had been made years, if not decades, after the wrongdoing. Haselberger alleges a cover-up is happening now in Minnesota.
When Haselberger's allegations were first made public, in a series of reports last September by Minnesota Public Radio, the archdiocese initially defended its record on preventing abuse. Since then, Nienstedt has apologized for any mistakes and said in a deposition he hid some information on accused clergy from police. A task force Nienstedt formed to review how the archdiocese handled abuse claims released a report in April conceding "serious shortcomings" by church officials.
Haselberger said the Rev. Kevin McDonough -- the archdiocese's vicar general or top aide for 17 years, and brother of White House chief of staff Denis McDonough -- never accepted the discipline plan American bishops adopted in 2002 that streamlined church law so guilty priests could be barred from ministry or removed from the priesthood altogether.
