Policy: 2.02
Title: South Florida State College District Board of Trustees
Legal Authority: Florida Constitution Article 1, Section 9 and Article IV, Section 7; Florida Statutes: 1001.61-65, 112.313, 112.52; State Board of Education Rule 6A-14.024
Office of Primary Responsibility: President's Office
The South Florida State College (SFSC) District Board of Trustees is a body politic and corporate entity. The terms "District Board" or "Board" as used herein shall mean the SFCC District Board of Trustees, and its members.
The Board has been given the responsibility and authority to carry out all powers and perform all duties provided for in the Florida Statutes (FS) and the State Board of Education Rules but only when acting as a Board. No individual member or committee of the Board shall have the power to act on behalf of the Board, unless specifically and legally authorized to do so by action duly taken by the Board. In case of unusual circumstances, ad hoc committees of the Board will act on matters for which the committee is appointed, which action will be confirmed and approved at a regular Board meeting.
The District Board shall consist of a certain number of members as required by appropriate governing law or rule.
The primary role of the Board is to establish policies that will allow the president to administer the college effectively and efficiently. The Board is the sole official policy making body of the college. The Board shall be responsible for determining which programs and services are needed to serve the educational needs of the district and for determining the effectiveness and efficiency of the programs and services in meeting those needs.
The president and administration are responsible for operating the college under those policies and programs and for advising the Board on such matters.
Members of the Board shall serve without compensation but shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their service as members. Expenses of the members shall be reimbursed in accordance with policies and procedures established by the college.
To continually improve their knowledge of community colleges, Board members should commit themselves to attend conferences, seminars, and meetings that pertain to their responsibilities, duties, and powers.
Board members should maintain the highest levels of integrity in the performance of their duties. Accordingly, all members of the Board shall avoid any conflict of interest or appearance of impropriety. Any member who has direct or indirect interest in any matter presented to the District Board shall notify the chair of the Board of that potential conflict and shall not participate in any discussion, decision, vote, or proceedings of the District Board in connection with that matter.
The members of the Board shall be covered under the college's indemnity insurance policies, to indemnify and protect the Trustees when damages are sought for alleged negligent or wrongful acts while acting in their capacity as members of the Board.
Regular meetings: Regular meetings of the Board shall be held in accordance with a schedule determined by the Board at its annual organizational meeting or as necessary to exercise their power and perform their duties. Notice of each regular meeting will be published in accordance with Florida Statutes.
Organizational meetings: The Board shall organize itself at the beginning of each fiscal year to select a chair, a vice chair, and other officers as deemed necessary, and to establish the dates, times, and location for its regular meetings.
Special or emergency meetings: Special or emergency meetings of the District Board may be called by the chair or by a majority of the members of the Board. Notice of special or emergency meetings will be made in accordance with Florida Statutes. No business shall be conducted or transacted in special or emergency meetings other than that which pertains to the purpose of the special or emergency meetings as set forth in the notice.
Conduct of District Board meetings: Except as may be otherwise provided by Board policy, the conduct of the meetings shall be governed by Roberts Rules of Order.
A majority of the voting members of the Board shall constitute a quorum. The voting method shall be determined at the discretion of the Board chair.
Except in an emergency as determined by the chair, the Board takes official action only on items which appear on the regular agenda. The agenda may be modified by a majority of the Board members present. The agenda may include a consent agenda with a variety of issues designed for one Board motion and vote. Upon request of any Board member, any issue may be removed from the consent agenda.
An individual or group may present an item for consideration by submitting the item in writing to the President's Office before noon, 14 days prior to a Board meeting, or at a time designated by the president. The Board chair may choose to recognize individuals or groups for public comment at such times designated on the approved agenda.
The District Board approves, disapproves, tables, or refers specific recommendations of the District Board to the president.
Complete and accurate minutes of each meeting shall be maintained in an official book to be located in the President's Office.
The Board officers elected by and from the Board of Trustees shall be a chairperson, a vice chairperson, and such other Board officers as may be determined by the Board. The Board officers shall be elected annually during the annual organizational meeting, or whenever a vacancy occurs, and at such other times as decided by the Board. Each Board officer shall hold office until the next annual organizational meeting or until a successor has been elected.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the vice chairperson will assume the office of the chairperson whenever the term of the chairperson ends or a vacancy occurs, but only if the current vice chairperson is willing and able to assume the office of chairperson. Unless otherwise decided by the Board, a new vice chairperson will then be elected. To allow each Board member an opportunity to serve as a Board officer, it shall be the practice to elect a vice chairperson who has been a member of the Board for the longest period of time without serving as a chairperson.
Any officer of the Board of Trustees may be removed from office by a majority vote of the Board members present during any regular meeting in which a quorum is present, or during a special meeting called for that purpose in which a quorum is present.
The Board may appoint an attorney who is not a member of the Board to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The attorney shall render legal opinions, represent the Board in legal proceedings, review and prepare legal documents, and attend meetings of the Board. The attorney shall call the Board's attention to any action or proposed action which is contrary to federal, state, or local laws, or to the policies of the college, or to contracts between the college and any persons, association, corporation, or governmental entity.
Members of the District Board of Trustees of SFSC are appointed by the Governor of Florida and confirmed by the Senate in regular session FS 1001.61 (2). The suspension and removal of a member of the District Board of Trustees of a Florida community college is governed by the procedures set forth in Article IV, Section 7 of the Florida Constitution and Title X, Chapter 112, Section 52, and Title XVLIII, Section 1001.61 (4) of the FS. Causes for suspension or removal are outlined in these provisions and due process is afforded the affected trustees as defined in the Florida Constitution Article I, Section 9.

"Geography Club" comes in at a most opportune time, when the world is slowly learning to embrace that being different is not taboo.
Based on Brent Hartinger's acclaimed, best-selling young adult novel, "Geography Club" is a fast, fresh coming-of-age movie that tells a real and powerful story unfolding in every high school around the country – a story of kids hiding their true identities in plain sight, even as they feverishly pursue their hearts' desires.
The MTRCB, local (Phils.') censors board gave it a PG rating (viewers below 13 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or supervising adult) and highly commends the movie as "Sweet and sensitive coming out, coming of age movie based on the first novel of the young adult series/play of the same name. Nuanced direction and performances make this a must-see and highly recommended."
The movie introduces us to a group of high school students who could go from popular to respectable or respectable to popular but can't go anywhere from outcast. This is what Goodkind High's Geography Club is for. This secret society – with a name so nerdy it keeps the curious away – is actually a covert classroom refuge where a group of outcasts are about to navigate the clique-mined social terrain of the American high-school…and the not-so-straight-forward map to fitting in, coming out, first loves, and last hopes for making it through a teen world that is trickier to maneuver than ever.
Russell Middlebrook (played by Cameron Deane Stewart) has since been looking for something but can't quite figure it out. Russell is the everyman. With his boyish good looks, and affable personality, Russell has an easy time staying under the radar while he struggles to find his sexual identity, and the chucky Gunnar (Andrew Caldwell), his best friend faces the historic teenage challenge of finding a girlfriend and losing his V card.
When Russell gets involved with another closeted student, his life begins to take a new direction. This hormonally charged search to find himself is the driving force behind a supposedly official after-school club unlike any other. The sign on the door might say Geography Club, but its members are actually exploring the perilous, and sometimes hilarious, landscape where sexual identity, sexual attraction, peer pressure, parent problems and the awkwardness of Health Class all converge in a head-spinning maze.
They start out trying to protect their one big secret among themselves. Russell is dating Trish (Meaghan Martin), a sweet but sexually motivated young lady – even as he is falling for the football jock Kevin (Justin Deeley), who won't ever reveal the truth to his macho teammates Nolan (Grant Harvey) and Jared (Dexter Darden). Min (Ally Maki) and Terese (Nikki Blonsky) tell everyone they're really just best friends. And then there's Ike (Alex Newell) who is trying on every identity in the book. They know they are different, but at least they're not in daily danger like the bullied geek Brian Bund (Teo Olivares). Yet, when Russell's sexual orientation is suddenly exposed to the whole school by the ultra-popular Kimberly (Allie Gonino), the members of the Geography Club begin to panic. Together Russell and the members of the Geography Club must make the toughest decision of their lives…help Russell cover up his recent scandal or stand together as one and open up the Geography Club to any student who is proud to be different?
Entertainment Tonight hails "Geography Club" saying that, "Every year sees the release of one film so culturally important it should be required viewing. This year, that film is Geography Club."
"Geography Club" opens on February 5 in cinemas from CrystalSky Multimedia.
Director Gary Entin speaks with GLAAD about his new film "Geography Club" and bullying
Geography Club, the new film produced by Huffington Pictures, distributed by Breaking Glass Pictures and based on the award-winning Brent Hartinger novel of the same name, follows a group of LGBT teens who form a secret support group at their high school. The film will open in theaters in New York, Toronto and Los Angeles on November 15 before rolling out to additional cities. Geography Club picked up the Audience Award for Best First Feature at this summer's Outfest LGBT Film Festival in Los Angeles and stars Glee's Alex Newell, Hairpsray's Nikki Blonsky, Drop Dead Diva's Justin Deeley and Pitch Perfect's Cameron Deane Stewart.
GLAAD had the chance to speak with the film's director, Gary Entin, about differences between the film and novel and why the story of Geography Club is important to tell. Check out the trailer below and read on to see what Entin had to say.
Gary's new headshot:
Edmund wrote the screenplay; Gary directed. The Entin twins, 27, are gay and now live in Los Angeles. They are sons of well-known Fort Lauderdale attorney Alvin Entin.
After the screening Gary and Edmund (and two of the film's producers) answered questions from the audience at O Cinema in Miami Shores. The twins posed with members of the Alliance For LGBTQ Youth in North Miami, the community sponsor of Thursday's presentation.
From the Geography Club website:
Based on Brent Hartinger's best-selling critically acclaimed novel, Geography Club is a smart, fast, and funny account of contemporary teenagers as they discover their own sexual identities, dreams, and values. 16-year old Russell is still going on dates with girls while having a secret relationship with football quarterback Kevin, who will do anything to prevent his football teammates from finding out. Min and Terese tell everyone that they're just really good friends. And then there's Ike who can't figure out who he is or who he wants to be. Finding the truth too hard to hide, they all decide to form the Geography Club, thinking nobody else in their right mind would ever want to join. However, their secrets may soon be discovered and they could have to face the choice of revealing who they really are.
The film is produced by Michael Huffington (Arianna's ex) and presented by Shoreline Entertainment.

Responsible for Oregon's cross country, middle distance and distance runners, associate head coach for track and field and cross country Andy Powell is in his ninth year with the University.
Powell, working in conjunction with the staff in the training of the men's and women's distance runners, ensures that all student-athletes receive extensive individual attention, assists in recruiting all middle distance/distance runners, and oversees administrative functions related to the conduct of a successful cross country program — including team travel, equipment and assisting with the Bill Dellinger Invitational.
He has coached some of the most successful runners in recent Oregon history, like Elijah Greer, Matthew Centrowitz, Galen Rupp and Andrew Wheating. Centrowitz ran to a third-place finish in the 1,500 meters at the 2011 IAAF World Championships, and a year later, placed fourth in a thrilling London Olympics 1,500 meter final. Rupp was the 2012 Olympic silver medalist at 10,000 meters.
Powell helped Oregon capture back-to-back NCAA Men's Cross Country championships in 2007-08 plus the runner-up trophy in 2009. He also assisted to the Ducks to their first-ever NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship in 2009 followed by a second-place trophy at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships. In 2010, the men were second indoors and third outdoors. The Ducks returned to the podium with a fourth place outdoor finish in 2013. Oregon has also captured seven straight men's Pac-12 titles.
Oregon had one of its strongest middle distance seasons on record in 2013, with Elijah Greer sweeping both the NCAA indoor and outdoor 800 meter national titles, a first in UO history. Additionally, Greer won his second straight Pac-12 800 meter title as he capped a remarkable senior season. Mac Fleet was also a national champion in the 1,500 meters, while the Ducks garnered 10 distance and middle distance All-America awards in 2013.
The 2011-12 seasons saw Centrowitz win both the NCAA Outdoor and USA Championships title at 1,500 meters and also saw All-American performances from Greer (800 meters), Luke Puskedra (10,000 meters), Steve Finley (3,000 meter steeplechase), A.J. Acosta (1,500 meters), Trevor Dunbar (5,000 meters) and Parker Stinson (10,000 meters). Centrowitz also captured his third straight Pac-10 title at 1,500 meters, while Finley took the steeplechase crown. In the fall of 2011, Puskedra was the third place finisher at the NCAA Cross Country Championships.
In 2010, Powell helped guide Wheating's remarkable double at the NCAA Championships, where the 2008 Olympian became the first man in 25 years to win both the 800 and 1,500 meters. Wheating also anchored the Ducks' indoor distance medley relay national title, and was also part of Oregon's dramatic 1-2-3 sweep in the NCAA Outdoor 1,500 meters.
A year earlier, Powell played an important role in mentoring perhaps the best individual season in the history of men's collegiate distance running. Rupp became the first person ever to win six distance races during the same academic year. Rupp was the 2008 NCAA individual cross country champion, the 2009 NCAA Indoor 3,000 and 5,000 meter champion, the 2009 NCAA Outdoor 5,000 and 10,000 meter champion, and anchored Oregon's winning Indoor distance medley relay team. He was also the Pac-10 cross country medalist and won the league's 10,000 meter title and capped his collegiate career by winning the title at the USA Track and Field Championships at Historic Hayward Field. He was named the USTFCCCA and Pac-10 Division I men's track athlete of the year and was also honored as the NCAA Division I Academic All-American of the Year for all sports.
On the track, the Oregon men continued to amass honors on the individual and team fronts. Wheating won his NCAA first title at 800 meters in 2009 to go along with Rupp's six distance wins, while the distance crew counted Pac-10 wins from Wheating (800), Rupp (10,000), Chris Winter (Steeplechase) and a 1-2-3 sweep in the 1,500 meters led by Centrowitz, Rupp and Wheating. In all the distance runners tallied 79 points towards Oregon's school-record 158 point total and third straight Pac-10 crown.
The 2009 season also saw Rupp set the American indoor record at 5,000 meters (13:18.12) and the American indoor collegiate record at 3,000 meters (7:44.69) as the team men broke every school indoor mark between 800 and 5,000 meters, plus the distance medley record. Not surprisingly, Oregon was named the USTFCCCA's Division I program of the year for 2009.
The year before served as a precursor to the remarkable 2008-09 season. Wheating won 11 consecutive races before finishing second by .01 in the men's 800 meters final of the most exciting race of the entire 2008 NCAA Track and Field Championships. Rupp meanwhile finished second in the 10,000 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials to qualify for his first Olympic Games. In 2007, Rupp earned a World Championships 10,000 meters invitation after he placed second in the USA and NCAA Championships — an event he raced to an American collegiate record during the season (27:33.48).
Postseason success is nothing new to Powell who served as a volunteer coach at Columbia University during the 2004-05 season and worked with distance coach and director of track and field Willie Wood.
As a Stanford athlete, Powell stood out as one of the nation's top middle distance runners. He still ranks among the school's all-time best in the 1,500 meters (3:40.65) and just missed an Olympic Trials bid with the nation's top freshman mark that season. That same campaign, he competed on the Cardinal's NCAA champion track and field squad and placed eighth in the Pac-10 Championships 5,000 meters (14:18.75) as Stanford took second as a team. In cross country, he ran on the Cardinal team that finished fourth in the NCAA Championships in 2000 and won the Pac-10 title.
As a prep at Oliver Ames High School in North Easton, Mass., near Boston, he won U.S. junior titles as a senior in the 1,500 meters (3:49.81) and 5,000 meters (14:51.81) after he ran a state mile record of 4:02.7. The Foot Locker Cross Country qualifier also won titles as a high school athlete in the Pan American Junior Championships, Golden West Invitational, and Millrose Games.
His wife Maurica Powell is an assistant coach for the Ducks and was a decorated Stanford middle distance runner and All-American. The couple have two sons.
Andy Powell Has Guided UO Athletes to:
14 NCAA Titles
16 Pac-10 Titles
81 All-America Awards

About Me
d began to masturbate slowly as he looked at me. Its tail was rather long and with a good soft, dark foreskin, which was pulled back from the bell end. He asked me if I wore a bathing suit or shorts, as she looked beautiful. wore a pair of blue cotton panties was a perfect fit, and when I moved my legs to show that cotton was hard against my fury overloaded. Then he asked me to lie down, which I tblop did, and knelt beside me. It was a straw, but have suddenly increased their pace to pay more and ran his left hand gently on my cock stiff. Then he went and began to finger my ass, pushing cotton in me. He was very friendly and I was really into it. His cock, still pumping steadily in his right hand was hitting my face. Without a word, he told thes down between my legs and leave for a moment his cock to a large extent failed me. With both hands, lifted my legs and pulled my pants so my legs were now on their shoulders. He bent down and began to masturbate his cock against me, keep the two together in one han
|d, two cocks in movement as such. He had wet his finger and his left hand was pushing gently, and then two fingers in my tblop ass. After a few seconds, let go of my cock and slid down her cheeks between my buttocks. He put the end of his command in the input and gently but firmly began to fuck me. (I was a virgin, by the way, and did not want the huge cock inside me, but still felt good going in and out ). I had my own cock and masturbates furiously now, so much so I pull away from him and kept a few seconds each time, I felt the cool air in my hole before his hot slippery cock slid into me. None of us can last much longer, however, and soon the wit,h, a loud groan that was running. He staggered to his feet, and the first splash of semen fell on my chest as I shot my own shop. He arrived with three boxes full, and when he fell to his knees again in my head, I reached out and grabbed his tail. He gently pulled me and another current pulse of his sperm. What a day. And I always thought fishing was boring!

Zero emissions, cheap, available technologies
Dear Editors,
Cheap and available technologies that save money and can reduce carbon emissions to zero already exist.
Instead of using fossil fuels, we can convert vehicles to compressed air or even water electrolysis propulsion. [1][2]
Factories, buildings and houses can stop using fossil fuels for heating and electricity and convert to take advantage of the World's huge geothermal potential. [3]
These technologies are safe, cost-effective and available for sale.
[1] Cars that can move cheaply on compressed air!
[2] Cars that can move cheaply on salt water!
[3] Widespread geothermal potential!
How can this article on costs run for so long without ever addressing the question of why?
Why have costs escalated way beyond the escalation of either material and labor costs? Why haven't the come down with labor saving technology?
Don't just tell me that the 3rd generation plants, which were designed to be way cheaper to build, turn out to be way more expensive. Explain the cause of that.
How much of it is regulation and environmental review — stuff that could be fully eliminated with political will — and how much of it revolves around the immutable physics of actual construction?
Come on, people.
Considering so much of the equipment in different types of thermal plants (coal/nuclear) is common, why should there be a sharply divergent capex for nuclear plants? Compared to a coal PS, a reactor, its housing and its primary coolant circuit are different, So will be its fuel delivery. Why is the cost differential growing so much? Is the bigger spending going into reactor safety capital works? Or is much of the cost due to regulatory obstacles leading to project slippage and commissioning delays? These are questions from an engineer. I can't answer them.
Diversity is a key concept in economics for safety. IMO the energy needs of any particular market or nation are best served by a portfolio of energy sources. Thus even if nuclear costs more and with slanted analysis and assumptions it is both clearly cheaper and simultaneously more expensive, nuclear needs to be included at somewhere above an insignificant level.
In Florida, Progress Energy seems to have ruined its big Crystal River nuclear plant by doing some construction work the wrong way. The fiasco raises doubts about the ability of utility companies to manage complex, costly facilities. The Tampa Bay Times newspaper has full coverage.
One company in one state and not an energy producer at that is hardly a refutation that on a macro level it is wise as a country for nuclear to provide somewhere in the range of 10 to 35 percent of electrical capacity.
Progress Energy (Florida and the Carolinas) has four nuclear plants, including the non-operating one at Florida's Crystal River. Florida's other large electric utility, Florida Power & Light (FPL) has lower rates and appears to be operating its two nuclear plants quite well.
One day u'll look to see that n-energy is gone/ oh tomoro may rain, so i'll follow the sun
When it comes to the costs of the french nuclear programme, this newspaper might have graced itself to look into the recent court of audits report on the subject. The journalists might have found a table of inflation adjusted building costs for all PWRs operating.
http://www.ccomptes.fr/fr/CC/documents/RPT/Rapport_thematique_filiere_el... p22-23
The knowledge of the french language required to understand these tables is low.
the bottom line is that the last 4 rectors average 1400€/kW and the first two in the 70s were at 835€/kW. This is not twice higher, even though it is an impressive increase.
Very interesting read.
So much depends on the discount rate/ cost of capital.
And also on the price of energy.
With a 60 year life, each cent of revenue per kWh, gives a net present value per kW capacity (running at 60%) of:
- $2,415 at 1% real interest (this beats the 30 year yield on inflation indexed treasury bonds)
- $1,880 at 2% real interest (Investing at this rate, Congress could repay the Chinese, whilst skimming a very fat profit)
- $1,507 at 3% real interest (With a big government investment at this rate, social security would just about be affordable.)
(N.B. the reason private agents won't provide the capital, is the threat of arbitrary political interventions, regulations and appropriations, as per the track record.)
So much depends on the long run cost of energy too. Let's take a 2% real rate. At present:
- Italy pays $0.370/ kWh, meaning each kW of capacity has a net present value of $69,600 (minus distribution costs). If such prices are stable, nuclear would be a good investment.
- the UK pays $0.199/ kWh, with a net present value of $37,400 minus distribution costs.
- New Jersey pays $0.158/ kWh, giving $29,704 per kW of capacity, less distribution costs.
- North Dakota pays just $0.070/ kWh, with a net present value of just $13,200 per kW of nuclear capacity, less distribution costs.
If energy prices aren't going to collapse, then even an expensive generation III French plant at $5,400/ kW of capacity looks attractive - for much of the world. The difference in net present value of revenue stream minus construction costs, allows for a more-than-adequate set-aside for decommissioning/ waste/ insurance.
Frankly, the only baseload options are coal, gas, hydroelectric and nuclear. If it weren't for the regulatory overhead, political uncertainty, and financial market inefficiency, nuclear would play a role more reflective of its productive potential.
If China really does bring capital costs firmly beneath the $2k mark, and as the gas glut starts to ease (10-20 years?), some governments will surely be tempted to put the capital forward for nuclear.
Don't forget operating costs. For example, the operating costs of the french fleet of PWRs are 22€/MWh. It is not negligible when the average price of electricity (without transport) is around 55€/MWh.
Your numbers do make for a less enthusiastic assessment.
Taking your figures of 55€/MWh revenue at source, and operating costs of 22€/MWh, that's 0.033€/ kWh in net operating income.
Running on average at 60% for a year (assuming unchanged real prices), each kW of capacity generates 0.6*365*24 * 0.033 = 173.45€.
Summing over 60 years with 2% real interest rates, that comes to 6,200€ of net present value for each kW of installed capacity.
Factor in decommissioning and Europe's high prices, and those returns look modest but respectable.
If China and South Korea are building reactors at under $2000/kW though (1,524€), the profit potential is enormous. And on every continent, it is nice to have a substantial hedge against rising fossil fuel prices.
I would not argue with Italian prices of electricity, in Italy photovoltaic produces 1 kWh for less than 0.13 EUR and the price is still falling, even with today high prices for a small storage I as customer could beat the 0.37 EUR.
"IN HAIYANG, ON the northern Chinese coast, and at Sanmen, farther south, an international consortium led by Westinghouse is well into building two AP1000s, ..."
To be clear, there are two at each site.
"... the sharp drop in gas prices caused by new sources of supply ruled out new nuclear plants in any market where the two energy sources compete freely."
But the price of gas is currently below the cost of producing shale gas; that can't go on forever.
Historically, the US chose uranium in nuclear reactors because she needed the by-product plutonium to produce nuclear weapons. Thorium in contrast is much safer than uranium and is much more plentiful. China is at present carrying out some preliminary research on thorium based nuclear reactors, but it will take decades before these could be commercialised. To expedite commercialisation, it would be desirable for all the major industrial countries co-operate to develop thorium based nuclear reactors.
There's also a reasonable prospect of being cheaper.
It's even more reasonable to consider those predictions woefully optimistic.
As reasonable as for the hype about renewable energy? Realistically, any wonder technology is unlikely to be all that is promised; it's a known human bias to overestimate the benefits and underestimate the drawbacks.
Costs keep rising because the current giants of the nuclear industry keep adding ever more modern technology to control a reactor that differs little from 1950s designs, and it doesn't work as well as they'd hope.
A radical rethink and redesign is precisely what's needed, as in any industry that's failing to compete effectively; the failure of one business model and product line is not the eternal destruction of its technology. Writing off all future avenues of research in any field is counterproductive, especially with climate change biting ever closer at humanity's heels.

It's in a really bad neighborhood…several miles from my house. It's also surrounded by a mote…a mote filled with animals exclusive to this area. Yes, we have "different" things in our bodies of water…down here…and that's not some stupid "pollution" joke.

Stevie Richards
(Wrestler -
Michael Manna is an American professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Stevie Richards. Also known by his ring names, Steven Richards and Dr. Stevie, Manna previously worked for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and, briefly, World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Manna is a two-time world heavyweight champion, having held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship once, and the TRP World Heavyweight Championship once. He held the WWE Hardcore Championship 22 times and was a two-time ECW World Tag Team Champion.
In 1999, Richards would sign with the WWF in a full-time capacity. He made his WWF debut on the August 15, 1999 episode of Sunday Night Heat, helping out his old tag team partner, The Blue Meanie. The two briefly became a tag team before Richards took on the gimmick of an impersonator. Mocking various then-current characters, he appeared as an Acolyte, a Dudley Boy, and a member of the Brood until briefly settling on Mick Foleys old Dude Love persona. Once he was done with the Dude Love character, Richards would go on to portray Test, Chyna, and Chris Jericho before suffering an ankle injury. He returned to a stint on WWFs tertiary shows (Jakked and Metal), in which he largely found himself on the losing end of several matches.
Richards returned to the main roster later that year with an entirely new look and gimmick, cutting his hair short and wearing a suit and tie, and cutting promos condemning the risque content of WWFs programming and preaching conservative values (mocking the WWFs then-problems with the Parents Television Council organization). He became a full fledged villain forming a stable known as the Right to Censor, changing his ring name to Steven Richards and becoming a manager and partner for his recruits, including The Godfather (renamed the Goodfather), Bull Buchanan, Ivory, and Val Venis. When Chyna was featured in Playboy magazine, Richards demanded a match between Chynas associate Eddie Guerrero and Val Venis. After Chyna had pantsed Richards leaving him in his white socks and blue briefs, costing Venis the match, Richards and his stable feuded against her.

|A (private) Letter to my First Born Child on his Sixth Birthday.
|A (private) Letter to my First Born Child on his Sixth Birthday.
|Written by OHmommy
|Thursday, 24 July 2008 19:00
Dearest Jay,
Today you turn six. Yesterday you were practicing how to display six on both hands. After cautiously researching all possibilities you determined the sixth finger needed to be your thumb.
Thumbs up, for six.
Yesterday, I repeatedly asked you to stop growing in which you giggled and replied that if you do not grow up then who will build me a roller coaster and pool on our front lawn. I do not necessarily need those in front of the house; however, these items represent happiness to you. Not a day goes by without your grand engineering plans for them. You want to be an engineer, a dentist, and even perhaps a hunter. Whatever you may become I know you heart will always be true. You have a heart of gold, dearest Jay.
Your love for our family is extraordinary. Fifi adores your gentle nature and enormous smile. Your voice naturally rises a number of octaves when speaking to her, "Tortellini, Fettuccine, My Fifi-ini." Lola, however loud and domineering, is able to listen to your schemes and together you execute them with perfection. She is your parrot, repeating your words of wisdom. You are your father's only son and together you explore the man's world of hardware stores, fishing creeks, and the biking roads. You look forward to building Legos with him in our dining room which you have baptised the "Lego room." You are my first born and forever have earned a special place in my heart. You made me a mother. Last month you asked me to stop singing to you at night time, only to realize my frown. I am still singing to you, per your request, every night. You heart is full of compassion and love.
You can dance. Sort of. Santa gave you a radio and shortly after you got your first library card. We frequent the library in search of boy band CDs. You are still so innocent, sweet, and untainted when you break out your moves. It is a good thing that we did not attend any weddings this year.
Every single night after you say your prayers in English and in Chicago, you thank God for the same thing. "Thank you God for the... Best. Day. Ever!" I have stopped asking you to pick just one thing to focus on being thankful for, because I realize that you are right. Even after the most boring and most un-eventful day you smile and thank him for the best day ever. Everyday with you is.... the best day ever.
You are sensitive and slowly learning how to deal with your emotions. "I stubbed my toe, really bad. And. I didn't EVEN cry!" Everyday I remind you about the strong men in your life you idolize and how they use words and not tears. Your father, grandfathers, Uncle Mike, Billy, and Phil are people that you adore. "That killed. But, I didn't EVEN cry."
"Peace" and "Awesome" and "Dude" are part of your everyday vocabulary now. When you utter those words you begin to strut like your father did when he was courting me.
Making friends for you comes naturally. On our trip to Chicago, you adopted Izabela, as your "best friend in Chicago." The last time we went to the pool, you adopted a boy two years your senior as your "best friend at the pool." With each friendship you make, I build your confidence up by telling you how friendly you are to other children. You have already started to stress over the fact that you do not speak Polish and making friends in Poland will prove difficult, on our vacation. "No one will understand me speaking." I convinced you that they will be amazed with your monkey bar skills and that friendships are built on strength anyways.
Haircuts can only take place on a Saturday morning. That is when Barber Joe treats the customers to free donuts. This year, you became a fast food connoisseur. At school you earned Pizza Hut coupons, you learned about the latest Burger King toys from commercials, and to keep baby Fifi awake on long rides home we have had our fair shares of McDonald's ice creams turned blizzards.
Sweet sweet Jay. I was a young 25 when I held you for the first time and cradled you in my arms. For months I would not allow anyone to hold you, you were mine. You slept curled up, on my chest, an hour each day for nearly a year. For that hour, the outside world did not exist. The phones were turned off, we had no cell phones or high speed Internet then, that hour belonged to us. I tried hard to synchronize my breathing to yours and inhaled your delicious baby scent. That hour belonged to us. I was never able to reproduce that special time with the girls. You are special to me. You made me a mother and forever we are bound.
Most of the time I have no idea what I am doing. For that I apologize to you, my first born. I have no time to read parenting books or research how to raise a son. I am trying to do the best that I can and offer you my love, confidence, and compassion. And I know that I am doing an acceptable job when you approach me in the morning, in your Power Rangers PJs and with smelly breath, whispering.... "Sweet little mousie Mama, your handsome guy is awake for the day."
And no matter how long my night was I turn to you and whisper back, "Good morning, this is the best day ever."
Thumbs up, for six. I can't wait to see how the next year unfolds.

China is a large country with one-fourth of the world's population whose strong demand growth since 1982, in conjunction with growth in other economies, has increased the competition for oil. Simple supply and demand forces have raised the price consumers must pay for oil and created a scramble for new resources. But what has become of China's internal efforts to increase domestic production?
According to February's World Oil's Outlook 2006, China is the world's fifth largest oil producer. The Russian Federation (9.3 million bopd), Saudi Arabia (9.1 million bopd), US (5.0 million bopd) and Iran (3.9 million bopd) produce more than China at present. In 2005, the country produced 3.4 million bopd from 576 oil fields.
Historically, China has grown its production steadily at 1 – 2%/yr, which is in line with the rest of the world's demand growth.

Maternal and Child Health
Children's health is impacted by where children live, work, play and go to school. It is also affected by virtual influences of television, video games and the Internet. Safety measures and health education are important for children's well-being, as well as access to health care and preventive services. KHI researchers and KHI News Service journalists study and document health conditions, risk behaviors, programs and policies important to the health of Kansas children and mothers.

Attributed to André-Charles Boulle
French, Paris, about 1710
Gilt bronze
H: 2 ft. 6 1/2 in. x D: 2 ft. 8 in.
Each element of this chandelier-the curving arms, drip pans, and candle holders--is stamped with a crowned C, showing that the chandelier must have been either repaired or resold between 1745 and 1749. In February 1745, Louis XV, king of France, issued an order that all new and old objects made entirely or partly of copper be taxed. As a result, all pieces that passed through the workshops of the bronze casters and dealers between these years bear the small stamp showing that the tax had been paid. The chandelier's small size indicates that it was probably made for a library or private apartment. Its shape and square section arms are characteristic of the work of André-Charles Boulle. An engraving published in 1710 by Daniel Marot inspired this design.

♦ I'm a wayfaring writer at The Wall Street Journal, and a photographer. Previously I was a Page One editor at the Journal responsible for projects such as this one. I edited the WSJ's project on the end of privacy, a Pulitzer finalist.
Some people call this "long form" but there's a better word for it. Storytelling.
♦ I've lived and worked as a journalist in New York, New Delhi, Hong Kong and small-town America, where my family published a century-old newspaper.
♦ After more than a half-decade as a Page One editor at The Wall Street Journal, I've returned to writing my own stuff. This involves welcome travel after years in a cubicle. So here's a piece on Himalayan traffic jams. And one on Cambodia's handmade bamboo trains.
♦ On Page One I edited many of the WSJ's most ambitious projects. In WSJ lingo these are the Page One "leders." I edited "The Lobotomy Files," an extraordinary reporting achievement by Michael M. Phillips, and led its online presentation. Aside from special undertakings like these, I edited many narratives and investigations, and lots of "A-Heds."
♦ As an editor I've worked with brilliant reporters on coverage of:
The veracity of Truman Capote's masterwork "In Cold Blood." Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev's embrace of Islam at his mother's urging. A man who got a federal criminal record because he mishandled a clogged toilet. A woman's six-year descent into all-but-incurable tuberculosis.
♦ Not to mention articles about:
Vietnam's bride kidnappers. America's housing crisis. Stretch limos that are too long. Midwives who murder babies. A Chinese family's nightmare. FBI informants who snitch on their girlfriends. Getting naked in Vermont.
♦ In 2013 I edited the WSJ's portraits of the young woman who was raped in New Delhi, and her close friend who was with her during the attack. These two profiles say more about India than almost anything else you will find on the subject.
♦ In my earlier reporting life, I wrote about:
The world's fastest ocean liner. An unusual parade in the American midwest. India's out-of-date doorknob technology. The slaughter of Nepal's god-king and royal family. Great Britain's unhappy mercenaries.
♦ In 2009 I traveled as a photographer to Cambodia for a project on slavery for Marie Claire. In the early 2000s I was the WSJ's correspondent in New Delhi, India. I wrote about the September 11, 2001, terror attacks from Islamabad, Pakistan.
♦ Photography has shown up in The Wall Street Journal (some examples here and here), Marie Claire, The Daily Beast, dearly departed Newsweek and other publications, and has been exhibited at the Exit Art gallery, New York; Photographic Gallery, Front St., New York; Chrystie Street Gallery, Chrystie St., New York; ABC No Rio, Rivington St., New York; the Southern Indiana Center for the Arts; and the Edward Hopper House, Nyack, N.Y.
♦ The most recent photography can be seen at Starve Hollow Road, named for the holler (as you will pronounce it in Starve Hollow) where I grew up.
♦ For all your Jesse Pesta news, there's always Twitter @jessepesta. Until then:
♦ April-June 2014: "The Lobotomy Files" is honored by the National Press Club and receives the 2014 Ancil Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism. This is the second project I've edited to receive Ancil Payne notice: In 2010 (see below) Farnaz Fassihi's outstanding reporting on Iran, "Hearts, Minds and Blood," was recognized.
Describing "The Lobotomy Files," the judges said: "We are particularly impressed with the ethical consciousness" behind the determination to do the story right, "for the man who was still alive."
♦ March 2014: After six years as a Page One editor, I returned to reporting for the WSJ as a traveling writer with a focus on South Asia.
♦ October 15, 2013: The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists honors the Journal's reporting on tuberculosis with the Daniel Pearl prize, its highest award.
♦ May-July 2013: The Journal's Page One series on privacy, "Watched," is honored with the APME's First Amendment reporting citation for large newspapers and receives the Deadline Club's Public Service Award. The Journal's tuberculosis investigation also receives the Deadline Club's science award.
Describing the TB project, the judges said: "The series has the potential to save many lives around the world ~ possibly our own."
♦ October 2012-Spring 2013: Served as master's program adviser for investigative reporting at the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism at Columbia University's graduate journalism program for the 2012-13 academic year.
♦ April 16, 2012: "The End of Privacy," The Wall Street Journal's coverage of the erosion of privacy in the U.S., is named a finalist for the Pulitzer prize in explanatory reporting.
♦ January 2012: The "Federal Offenses" project, exposing the surprising ways in which little-known laws can snare unwary Americans, wins a top National Press Foundation award.
♦ June 3-August 5, 2011: Selected photos on exhibit at the Exit Art gallery in New York as part of the gallery's Contemporary Slavery exhibition.
♦ March 26, 2011: Represented The Wall Street Journal in a presentation at Yale Law School to discuss personal privacy and the online advertising business.
♦ September 25, 2010: Spoke about my friendship with Danny Pearl at Music for Humanity, a concert commemorating Danny' life and work.
Here is a video of my remarks. The speaking begins about a minute in.
♦ July 1, 2010: "Famed Liner Steers Clear of Scrapyard" is published in the WSJ, breaking the news that the tiny group of ship lovers I wrote about earlier on Page One are about to pull off the impossible and buy their beloved SS United States superliner.
Accompanied by photos of the rarely seen interior of the ship, and a video.
♦ April/May, 2010: The WSJ's Iran coverage, "Hearts, Minds and Blood," wins the Society of Professional Journalists award for outstanding foreign correspondence, the Overseas Press Club award for outstanding reporting abroad, the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and the Payne Award for Ethics.
♦ April 8, 2010: Represented the WSJ on a Nieman Foundation panel on fairness in journalism.
♦ Oct. 3, 2009: Interview on WABC's "John Batchelor Show" about the SS United States:

For the First Time Ever, I Want My Boys to Watch Football
I am not a sports fan. I might even describe myself as the anti-sports fan. Occasional viewing is fine, and so is mild fandom, but for many years I neither encouraged nor approved of sports-obsessing. (In my mind the only things worth obsessing about are politics, Springsteen tour dates, and the odd celebrity scandal). It all seemed silly, pointlessly aggressive, and boorish (sports, not politics. OK, maybe both).
When I first got married I made my distaste for sports-watching immediately known–and no sport was more disdained by me than football. I must have read a New York Times editorial at some point in which I learned that domestic abuse cases spiked on Super Bowl Sunday. I would stand in between my husband and the game on the TV and announce this fact each time I found him watching. He wasn't really enough of a fan to overcome the power of my withering glare and incessant preaching. Eventually, football went away.
It went away until my boys found it and brought it into our home with passion and glee. At first, I tried the same tactic that had worked so very well on my husband. I had no luck. A trusted friend advised me: If you can't beat them, join them. They are going to watch it anyway; if you don't get involved you'll be cut out of the equation. I suppose this argument could be made to all sorts of things that I am not about to try watching with my boys (ahem), but for football, it worked. I watched. I followed. I encouraged their insane fandom. Read the rest of this entry →

Videos of Woman Giving BJ to Microphone - Gotta Love the Art World
- topic:
- Videos
- Sex
- Portfolio Spotlight
Oh artists. You can get away with anything, can't you? You can tell a woman to give a microphone oral sex in a performance you call a "sonic piece" or whatever other euphemism for BJ you want to use, and she'll do it. Three times for three videos, one with an audience. (The below vids are definitely suggestive and probs NSFW)
Not sure who the woman is, but the artist responsible for the video trilogy simply titled 'Blow Job' on the 'Tube is Wojiech Kosma, who's known for creating "speculative aesthetic interventions in public and gallery spaces". Like I said earlier, whatever you want to call it!

any one have any idea what kind of mic that is? I would guess a shotgun mic but it looks to short. Maybe a Royer ribbon mic?
By rob enderle
Look, I like a good suck and swallow as much as the next guy...probably even more than the next guy but art?
These are pathetic blowjobs when you compare it to the tons of great amateur porn you find on the net.
Great blowjobs can be true works of art. None of these blowjobs even come close to great.
Theyre so bad that a few minutes into it, you feel like just telling them to give it up and rub one out yourself.
I saw once a rotting side of meat in a glass cage and it was called art.
There was also an 'artist' in our city who took a dump on a blank canvas and that was supposed to be an artistic statement.
Im pretty sure that these same people could pick their nose, take a piss and forece themselves to vomit and consider all these things to be art.
Im not sure if clipping my nails is art or not, I guess I will have to spend more time on the subject.
By Neraven
The first one is actually pretty good for it being an uncomfortable hunk of metal/plastic. Just keep that in mind. She gave her best shot the first time, then probably got sick of it, hence why the other two are a lot worse.

This idea does havee some potential. Jimi Hendrix knew how to use feedback... clearly he was on to something!

Sunset Park
Artist Statement
In a process bordering on the devotional, I participate in laborious collecting and making. Gathering from high-end homewares and thrift-store finds, I begin my experiments in the studio, pushing my objects to the limits of the minimal, the maximal, the technical, and the symbolical. In order to arrive at a new way of engaging with my materials, I combine methods from high art with everyday practices. Pulling from all aspects of life, I braid, tear, stuff, knot, paint, airbrush, and decorate. Remnants of material culture are pastiched into color-coordinated, aestheticized objects that bring disparate ideas together in unified forms.

Quoted from npgillis
Ya know, caffeine sucks calcium out of your bones. I am 36 years old with the bones of a 70 year old woman. Why? low calcium intake and high caffeine intake. I suspect I am not the only O with this problem... especially with so many coffee lovers out there. I urge you to wean yourself off caffeine, not just coffee.
Quoted from type_O
Hello Latte Lovers,Heres what worked for me, in giving up coffee. First get serious esophagus damage and then as an extra incentive I was injured in an accident and developed painful acid reflux from a hiatal hernia. So by being in a lot of pain, I hardly noticed the two days of head aches when I stopped coffee cold turkey.Ill apologize if that testimonial seems harsh or scary. But Id like to make the point that coffee can really injure you eventually, if you are an O. Previously Ive mused that coffee is really the devil. Its that seductive for me. I wonder if this will sound pathetic, but I actually went into Starbucks, ordered a huge cup of joe and I took it to a comfy chair where I simply breathed in the aroma. Talk about missing my addiction. Then I got myself a far less satisfying cup of herbal tea, which I drank.On the positive side, I have noticed that Im more centered without the caffeine/coffee. Even while I still tend to worry about possible cancer risks, etc.. I think exercise helps my peace of mind / mood, too. Years ago I came up with a personal rule which is supposed to be part of my philosophy, yet somehow I didnt follow through when I knew coffee didnt really seem good for me. That rule / concept is: Discipline is inevitable.Well in the past I didnt use discipline about my coffee vice, and now my discipline choices are no longer internal will, but forced or external discipline. So you can take charge now, or be forced into it later by health problems.So I hope everyones 13th step with this coffee habit, can be to substitute something more positive and healthy, and in the long run more rewarding than coffee.P.S. lol, once I invented a drink at starbucks which I named the 13th. step, but that was supposed to be for people whod had to much alcohol the previous night. ... well it was funny at the time. Best to you all, type_o
Quoted from Edna
"Research has shown that drinking coffee causes a significant loss of several vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B and C, calcium, iron, and zinc."......That said, if I personally were a Type A, I would stick mainly to green tea (also a beneficial for your type) instead of coffee, because coffee also raises cortisol levels and that is something that no one--especially a Type A--needs. I think coffee should just be an "occasional beneficial", if there is such an animal, even for A's. Maybe like 3x per week, so 1 cup every other day or so? Sound doable?.... Studies have shown that coffee seems to worsen the symptoms of persons with high blood pressure, and can nullify the effect of high blood pressure medications, making expensive drugs useless."
Quoted from jsgrierson
As an A I occasionally use coffee, and it is a total treat for me. I order a soy latte when out and feel like a million dollars. Despite the horrific info. above I will probably keep on doing this...Jenny
Quoted from Edna
However, when you do enjoy your occasional coffee, truly do enjoy it and revel in its beneficial qualities for you as an A!
Quoted from pkarmeier
ruthie, where are you getting your roasted dandelion root ? That might be a good thing for me to try as I am continually searching for a coffee substitute.
Quoted from Victoria
I finally found a brand in tea bags that is more like coffee, to my taste. It is Traditional Medicinals brand. . Roasted Dandelion Root.
Quoted from ruthie
Back in the dark ages I used to own a HFS--don't know how we all survived Adele Davis. ruthie

Immerse yourself in true-to-life music and tighter bass tones in unmatched comfort with the Creative Aurvana Live!2. With cutting-edge driver technology and meticulous acoustic tuning, it delivers a natural and faithful audio presentation to fulfill your entertainment and communication needs.
Modeled after its award-winning predecessor, the Creative Aurvana Live!2 is designed to deliver true-to-life acoustic performance with tighter bass. The headset is powered by 40mm Bio-Cellulose drivers for impeccable audio while the earcups' premium protein faux leather cushions with memory-foam provide excellent seal against external noise. They also provide unmatched comfort for extended wear.
Constructed with accurate 40mm Neodymium drivers with bio-cellulose diaphragm and meticulously tuned, Aurvana Live!2 delivers audio so authentic, it's as if you're in a live performance!
Bio-cellulose is a natural fiber which has extremely fine fiber and high purity. Using cutting-edge biotechnology processes, this material is compressed to produce an ultra-thin diaphragm that is ideal for headphone drivers, delivering sound velocity comparable to an aluminium or titanium diaphragm, while giving warm and delicate sound of paper ones. The result is faithful, crystal clear and detailed highs, coupled with remarkable deep and rich bass tones.
The headset use a high-purity, tangle-free, flat audio cable with an inline microphone and a one-button remote with volume adjustment for hassle-free communication on your smartphone. The cable can be detached for storage or retrofitted with another cable of your choice.
To use this product with notebooks or PCs with separate audio and microphone connectors, you may use the Sound Blaster Audio/Mic Splitter Adapter (available separately).
Padded with premium protein faux leather and memory-foam, the earcups provide you with unmatched comfort over extended periods of usage.
Aesthetic and lightweight, the Aurvana Live!2 is styled in two alluring color options and enforced with a metal alloy headband for added durability.
The flat-fold earcups is ideal for audio monitoring and convenient storage. A soft microfiber travel pouch is also included for portable convenience.
The Live! 2 offers a great frequency range 10Hz to 30 KHz and thereby deliver a great balanced sound still pushing the bass as the priority. With the PC, we barely had to adjust the sound equalizer. Listening to the Pop, Hip-Hop, Electro, Dance and Electronic Dance Music was sheer bliss using this earphone. That is when we found the bass was very controlled and give it required punch to the tracks. Vocals are pleasantly enjoyable and trebles were nice. Overall, we found that this pair manages to produce great audio details at both high and mid-range volume levels. Even at the mid-range, the details are not compromised despite of the controlled bass.
Aurvana Live!2
Treble is accurate, vocals are clear, and musical instruments are fleshed out well with detail in both string instruments and percussion… Overall, we enjoyed our time with the Creative Aurvana Live! 2 headphones. It performs well on most genres of music, and just as importantly, is comfortable enough for long periods of wear, even if you're on the go constantly.
Aurvana Live!2
Creative has paid very close attention to detail with the Aurvana Live!2 and the result is nothing short of amazing. The headphones feel very premium and are a joy to use for long hours thanks to its light weight. They are very comfortable, well put together and come with some nifty additions like the detachable cable and in-line controls.
Aurvana Live!2
Nicely made, comfortable, "quality" product. Excellent sound, detailed, controlled with great separation. Firm, "Colourful" base without being over-bearing. Very efficient, absolutely no need for a headphone amp. Performance exceeds price point.
The headphones delivery superior quality sound and is lightweight to wear. The look and build is also trendy and attractive. It is absolutely worth the money I spent.
I am not an audiophile expert. The sound from the CAL2 is crisp and bright. The bass is not boomy that it affects the mids and the highs are not ear piercing. The ear pad is soft and comfortable and the pressure is not too strong to cause headache while tight enough such that you can still tilt your head back without dropping the headphone. The flat wire is good as it does not get entangled easily. The build in microphone is a plus point. Overall this is a nice and trendy headset suitable for all ages.

Hi, I'm Beth, an Urban Yoga Monkey… see a video of me teaching here.
It is my intention to offer a method of Yoga that awakens the heart. The bodhichitta (awakened heart) moves with gentleness (compassion) clarity/precision, and openess. When these 3 principles are directed towards our emotional and physical bodies, a relationship towards union and integration is possible. For me an honest yoga practice will cultivate awareness at all times, bring me closer to my authentic self dissolve conflict between any 'should be' and what presently 'is'.
I have 10 years practice of the Yogamonks method. I qualified in yoga teaching with The Yoga Alliance in New York, have studied Psychology, have a BA Hons in Dance (LCDS/ Conservatoire) and recently began studying Thai Massage and integrative cranio-sacral work. The source of my unique style of Yoga comes from the esteemed Jonathan Monks who conceived the method over 20 years of self-practice.
My teaching is inspired by my deep interest in learning patterns, taoism, mahayana buddhism and finding the appropriate application of Eastern holistic methods to Western lifestyles. I have a deep desire to deliver a method that allows the individual to discover their authentic selves physically, emotionally and spiritually right here in the heart of our urban capital.
For the last 22 years, I've trained to professional level in classical ballet and contemporary. I went on to study African dance, and dance Salsa and jazz for fun. I have worked for some of London's top choreographers such as Hofesh Schecter, Lea Anderson, and Saju Hari and have has enjoyed dancing the repertoire of Henri Oguike and Jiri Kylian (NDTII) Performance venues include the Royal Opera House and The Robin Howard Dance Theatre (The Place). I enjoy practicing Capoeria (Cordeo de Oure) and Tai Chi, both of which allow for freedom and spontaneity to arise from form.
My teaching draws strongly on the applications of the Tai Chi principles of grounding and softening and tibetan-buddhist practice.
I'd like to pay homage to my teacher Jonathan Monks as well as those drawn inspiration and received support from such as David Sye (www.yogabeats.com) and Mestre Poncianinho. All of these teachers have compassionatly drawn my attention towards the divine intelligence housed within and continunally strip back the layers that create unnecessary tension and dis-ease in my daily existence.
I am currently teaching all over London in the city's top health and fitness clubs to all levels of practioners. I teach professional dance companies this method to increase artistic and performance ability. I have also taught in the US and Europe and look forward to sharing this joyful, dynamic and unique practice with you!
