The Comedy Central Roasts are a series of celebrity roast specials which air on the Comedy Central cable network.
Between 1998 and 2002, Comedy Central produced and televised the annual roasts of the New York Friars Club.
- 1998 – Drew Carey, Roastmaster Ryan Stiles
- 1999 – Jerry Stiller, Roastmaster Jason Alexander
- 2000 – Rob Reiner, Roastmaster Michael McKean
- 2001 – Hugh Hefner, Roastmaster Jimmy Kimmel
- 2002 – Chevy Chase, Roastmaster Paul Shaffer
After the original five-year agreement expired, the network began producing its own roasts in the same spirit.[1] The first, featuring roastee Denis Leary (and produced by Leary's production company, Apostle), aired on August 10, 2003 and was the most watched program in the channel's history, excluding episodes of South Park.[2]
Some roastees have stated that certain topics are off-limits. Pamela Anderson, for example, prohibited jokes about her Hepatitis C infection. Joan Rivers disallowed jokes about her daughter, Melissa. Others, like David Hasselhoff, have imposed no limits on the topics.[3] Although Charlie Sheen initially agreed to no restrictions on his roast, he later said during an interview with Jay Leno that he requested jokes about his mother to be edited out of the broadcast.[4]
During Charlie Sheen's roast, Steve-O made the joke "The last time this many nobodies were at a roast, at least Great White was playing", which was removed from broadcast on Steve-O's request.[citation needed]
During Denis Leary's roast, comedian Lenny Clarke, a friend of Leary's, said there was a carton of cigarettes backstage from Bill Hicks with the message, "Wish I had gotten these to you sooner." This joke was cut from the final broadcast.[citation needed]

Many of the jokes were also directed at Courtney Love for appearing to be inebriated (but claiming to have been sober for a year), Bea Arthur's masculinity, Andy Dick's ambiguous sexuality and Lisa Lampanelli's full figured body as well as her attraction towards black people.One of the audience members was Anna Nicole Smith.
|Jason Alexander

Special, pre-taped, guest appearances were made by Leonard Nimoy, Sandra Bullock, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel, and Clint Howard. The Leonard Nimoy sequence which originally opened the broadcast on Comedy Central (Nimoy and Shatner were shown having an argument over the phone) was omitted from the DVD release, while many pre-taped sequences and jokes told during the roast itself were added back in after originally being cut.
Many celebrities were shown prominently in the audience, including Adrian Zmed, David Carradine, Roger Corman, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan, Rene Auberjonois, Rosalind Chao, Mark Valley, Carrie Fisher, Scott Hamilton, country music star Brad Paisley, Reno 911! stars Cedric Yarbrough and Niecy Nash, and stand-up comedian Brian Posehn.

|John Stamos
|August 16, 2008
The Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget was announced on June 26, 2008[10] and first aired on August 16, 2008.[11]
Saget's Full House co-star John Stamos was the roastmaster. The roast included Susie Essman, Greg Giraldo, Brian Posehn, Jim Norton, Jeff Garlin as fictional Full House executive producer Saul Schwartz (though he broke character at the end), Gilbert Gottfried, Jon Lovitz, Norm Macdonald, Cloris Leachman, and Jeff Ross.[12] Pre-taped appearances were delivered by Sarah Silverman, Lewis Black, and Don Rickles. Full House co-stars Lori Loughlin, Jodie Sweetin, and Dave Coulier were shown in the audience along with Growing Pains star Alan Thicke, Rex Lee of Entourage and Quantum Leap & Star Trek: Enterprise star Scott Bakula throughout the roast. Alonzo Bodden was also in the audience. Artie Lange was scheduled but did not show at the roast because he had entered a rehabilitation center.
It was later revealed that Saget was highly offended by the jokes aimed at Candace Cameron and the Olsen Twins.[13] The DVD was released on December 30, 2008.Norm Macdonald's set was notable in that it avoided racy content and featured intentionally cheesy and antiquated jokes.[14] He later revealed that the material was taken from a book given to him by his father that contains jokes meant to be told at retirement parties circa 1950, and that when the roast's showrunner asked him to be "shocking," he decided to go in the opposite direction of the usual roast humor.[15]
|Lisa Lampanelli[18]
|March 16, 2009
The Comedy Central Roast of Larry the Cable Guy was taped on March 1, 2009.[17] This marks the first time that a previous roastmaster has become a roastee. On February 12, 2009, the roasters were announced to include Nick DiPaolo, Jeff Foxworthy, Greg Giraldo, Toby Keith, Jeffrey Ross, Reno Collier, Maureen McCormick, Warren Sapp, and Gary Busey. Bill Engvall made a pre-taped appearance.
This was the first time that a roast was broadcast in 16:9 high-definition.This is not released on DVD.

The Comedy Central Roast of Joan Rivers was taped on July 26, 2009.[19] The roasters included Carl Reiner, Gilbert Gottfried, Mario Cantone, Whitney Cummings, Tom Arnold, Brad Garrett, Robin Quivers, Greg Giraldo, and Jeff Ross. Donald Trump made a pre-taped appearance and Melissa Rivers came from the audience to roast her mother. Other audience members included Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, Alan Thicke, TJ Miller, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris.This is not released on DVD. It was released on the Comedy Central Emmy Consideration DVD sent only to members of the Consideration program.
|Seth MacFarlane
|August 15, 2010[23]
Roasters included Jeff Ross, Pamela Anderson, Lisa Lampanelli, Hulk Hogan, Jerry Springer,[20] Whitney Cummings, Greg Giraldo, George Hamilton,[21] and Gilbert Gottfried, Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan made pre-taped appearances, and William Daniels reprised his role as the voice of KITT. Seth MacFarlane was the roast master and was his first appearance on the show. The audience included John Slattery, Craig Robinson, Christina Milian, Hasselhoff's two daughters, Hayley and Taylor, Hulk Hogan's son, Nick, and fellow Baywatch alumni Alexandra Paul, Nicole Eggert, Gena Lee Nolin, Traci Bingham, Angelica Bridges and Jeremy Jackson. To close the show, Hasselhoff sang "This Is The Moment" from the musical Jekyll & Hyde, which he formerly starred in.[22]
This was also the final roast in which Greg Giraldo participated. Giraldo died on September 29, 2010.The DVD of the special was released in January 2011.
|Seth MacFarlane
|March 15, 2011[28]
The Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump was originally taped on March 9, 2011.[25] Roasters included Whitney Cummings, Lisa Lampanelli, Jeffrey Ross, Marlee Matlin (interpreted by friend and business partner Jack Jason), Gilbert Gottfried, Anthony Jeselnik, Larry King, Snoop Dogg, and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.[26] Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Ice-T, Russell Simmons, John Legend, Lindsay Lohan, Joel Madden and David Foster were in the audience. The roast consisted of jokes toward Trump's hairstyle, his show The Apprentice, and his family. Jokes were also made about Jeselnik's fame (or lack thereof), Matlin's deafness, King's age, and Jersey Shore. Several roasters paid respect to Greg Giraldo, a Comedy Central Roast regular, who died on September 29, 2010. Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was highly criticized for his performance; as a result, Comedy Central pulled several of his jokes from the television airing of the roast.[27] This roast was dedicated in memory of Greg Giraldo. This was also the first time someone served as roastmaster more than once, as Seth MacFarlane also roasted David Hasselhoff.This is not released on DVD.
|Seth MacFarlane
|September 19, 2011[30]
The roast was taped in Los Angeles on September 10, 2011, and was broadcast on September 19, 2011, exactly one hour after the premiere of Ashton Kutcher's first episode of replacing Sheen on Two and a Half Men.[30] Roasters included Mike Tyson, Jeff Ross, Anthony Jeselnik, Steve-O,[31] William Shatner, Kate Walsh, Jon Lovitz, Patrice O'Neal and Amy Schumer. Slash made an appearance playing his guitar during Sheen's entrance.[32] Harvey Levin from TMZ.com was scheduled to appear but ended up not doing so. During an interview on The View, Sheen's ex-wife, Denise Richards stated that she hadn't been invited to appear and, while she thought roasting her ex-husband could be humorous and that he would be able to take it, she feared it would have a negative impact on their daughters.[33] Sheen's famous family members, Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen, were unable to attend as they were promoting their film The Way,[34] although Sheen appeared in a commercial for the roast, spoofing his film Apocalypse Now. Brooke Mueller, Aaron Paul, Maria Menounos, Corbin Bernsen, Duane Chapman, Michael Boatman, Kristin Cavallari, Patrick Warburton and Richard Kind appeared in the audience. Seth MacFarlane made his third appearance as the roastmaster. A montage of Sheen's film and television work were featured, though due to legal reasons, clips of his tenure on Two and a Half Men were never used. In the UK and Turkey, on the network which Two and a Half Men airs, The Roast of Charlie Sheen aired directly after Kutcher's first Two and a Half Men episode. This was O'Neal's final television appearance before his death on November 29, 2011.With 6.4 million viewers in its original debut, this roast was the highest rated Comedy Central Roast to date.[35]
|Jane Lynch
|August 12, 2012[36]
|The roast was taped in Los Angeles on August 4, 2012 and aired the following week on August 12. Jane Lynch served as roast master.[36] Roasters included Jeff Ross, Katey Sagal, Carrie Fisher, Ellen Barkin, Anthony Jeselnik, Seth Green, Amy Schumer, Wayne Brady and Gilbert Gottfried, and also featured a surprise appearance by Roseanne's ex-husband Tom Arnold. Sarah Chalke, Blake Anderson, Alicia Goranson, Michael Fishman, Chris Colfer and Fred Willard were in attendance. Sharon Stone had been announced as one of the roasters, but dropped out for unknown reasons prior to the event. The final surprise of the night was Roseanne's choice to close out the show by legitimately singing the last two lines of the Star Spangled Banner, in an effort to finally redeem herself for her infamous and controversial rendition of the American anthem at a nationally broadcast baseball game in 1990.
|Seth Rogen
|September 2, 2013
|On July 9, 2013, Franco announced that he would be on the next Comedy Central Roast.[38] The Roast aired on Labor Day, September 2nd.

Cancelled roasts[edit]
In 2008, a roast for musician Willie Nelson was planned to coincide with the release of his box set, One Hell of a Ride, but was ultimately cancelled, according to Jeff Ross.[41][42][43]
A roast for musician Kid Rock was announced in November 2010 and scheduled for January 2011, but was later replaced by the Donald Trump roast.[44] Rock's roast was rescheduled for August 2011,[45] but was replaced again, this time by Charlie Sheen's roast.[30] Both Kid Rock roasts were reportedly replaced because Rock insists on them taping the roast in Detroit, which Comedy Central wouldn't agree to.
The first international roast aired on Comedy Central New Zealand on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 and the roastee was prominent Māori comedian, Mike King.[46] Also roasted in New Zealand was rugby commentator, ex rugby player, and ex of Miss Universe Lorraine Downes, Murray Mexted.
Comedy Central Africa also roasted veteran South African performer, actor and songwriter Steve Hofmeyr on September 11, 2012. South African comedian Trevor Noah was the roastmaster for the evening.
In April 2014, Comedy Central Africa hosted a second roast and roasted South African businessman Kenny Kunene. The Roastmaster was British comedian Jimmy Carr[47] and included a dais of local personalities. Roasters included comedians John Vlismas and Tumi Morake, socialites Khanyi Mbau and Somizi Mhlongo, TV presenter Dineo Ranaka, OFM (South Africa)'s former host Rian van Heerden and music personalities PJ Powers and Jack Parow.[48]
In May 2013, Comedy Central Latin America roasted Mexican comedian Héctor Suárez, hosted by his own son Héctor Suárez Gomís.

Covering banking: Covering failures
Banks are still failing at a fast clip, and though the bulk of the failures have been concentrated in a handful of states, like Georgia and Illinois, they can happen anywhere and at any time.
Scott Trubey, a banking reporter with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, says he's handled the large quantities of Georgia bank failures by cultivating a network of sources that provide him not just with tips, but with analysis that helps him draw his own conclusions. For every bank on his beat, he tracks quarterly FDIC data—some of which is synthesized for him by a local research firm (many of the big securities firms do this kind of work in their analyst reports etc.) The data can lead to a story all by itself, if an interesting trend appears; or it can be used to monitor which banks are on the cusp of failure.
Knowing that it's a really bad sign for a bank to have a Texas ratio above 300 percent or a capital ratio of under 3 percent, and using the power of deductive reasoning, Scott knows which banks he should be preparing backgrounders for, so that in the event of failure, he's got information at the ready and doesn't have to scramble as much for story content.

When a failure occurs, you'll usually hear about it first in a press release. Failures of state-chartered banks often are announced by state banking regulators before the FDIC announcement appears, so be sure you're on the distribution list for releases from your state banking agency. The FDIC and OCC also have feeds you can sign up for or otherwise monitor. You also should monitor enforcement actions that any of the bank regulatory agencies announce against the banks they supervise; these can be signs of trouble. When regulators spot a problem, they will try to clear it up quietly and/or through an informal enforcement action, under a Memorandum of Understanding or MOU. Banks will disclose MOUs in their quarterly/annual SEC filings. If the MOU does not lead to a solution, a formal enforcement action is the next step, and if the bank still fails to do what's required of it (to raise capital, to address a soundness issue, etc.) then that's a bad sign for the future of the bank.

hi, i m 25 years old,and 1 year ago i came from Pakistan to Australia,i had bit fair color there.and my complexion is being dark here in Australia.i m very depressed because my husband doesn't like me and my color,please help me,
i have dark circles in my eyes and my husband hates me when he see my dark underarms which are dark since i came here.my hands and foot are very dark especially fingers joints.well i forgot to tell u that i m 8 months pregnant.please suggest me,that how can i make my ful body color white.thanks
Hi Shiza, hyperpigmentation is part of pregnancy. Dark spots appear and become worse as it nears 9 months. Some of them fade away after a few months of giving birth. Some stay as stubborn dark spots.
Other thing, you can't use any skin whitening product if you're pregnant because these are acid-based exfoliating products that penetrate skin. Not good when a fetus is developing.
After giving birth and AFTER nursing, that's the right time and it will be safe for you to start your own skin whitening regimen.
We are offering two soluions - the topical products - skin whitening soap, lotion, cream - work differently (externally) from the skin whitening pills (internally).
The topical skin whiteners work faster because they are directly applied on skin, exfoliate and/or peel skin faster to remove the dark skin spots, but the results are cosmetic. The pills slowly work from the inside out like vitamins or dietary supplements, and take time (months) to build its foundation, but the antioxidant effects benefit overall skin and body health, with a side effect that is skin lightening.
So you see, they work differently from each other. You can do either, or both.
Bookmark this page so when you're ready, it will be easy to find. :)

YouTube is great for this kind of thing. It took me about a month to get the hang of the 3 ball cascade. I bought 4 soft stress balls from the Pike Place Market. They were about $6 each. Juggling 3 items with two hands is easier that 2 items with one hand. You can learn to juggle by taking a 10-minute break now and then, from doing your work. Ultimately, I want to learn to juggle 4 balls, but this 3 is good enough for now. 17 months ago

Author(s): David E Weissman MD
Background Oral opioids are among the most commonly prescribed drugs in palliative care. Despite national analgesic guidelines, the use of excessive intervals for short-acting oral opioids continues to pose a significant barrier to good analgesic care. Understanding the pharmacological rational for dosing intervals is key to proper prescribing and patient counseling.
Short-Acting Oral Opioids Short-acting products are administered as either single agents (oral morphine, hydromorphone, oxycodone and codeine) or as combination products containing acetaminophen, aspirin or ibuprofen. For all these products, the peak analgesic effect occurs in 60-90 minutes with an expected total duration of analgesia of 2-4 hours. Standard reference sources generally cite a 4 hour dosing interval for the single-agent opioids, but 4-6 or 6 hour intervals for combination products (PDR, Micromedex). However, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) Clinical Practice Guideline (1994) recommends dosing intervals for all short-acting opioids at an interval or every 3-4 hours, an interval more consistent with patient reports of pain relief and the half-life of oral opioids.
Is there a danger to more frequent drug administration? There is no danger of dosing intervals as often as every 2 hours for single agent products (e.g. morphine), in patients with normal renal function, as the peak effect will be reached in 60-90 minutes and there is rapid renal excretion. For combination products, the concern is excessive acetaminophen. Thus, if patients need opioids on an every four hour basis, it is appropriate to change to single agents without acetaminophen and/or add a long-acting opioid product so as to keep the total daily acetaminophen dose at less than 4 grams.
Note: Transmucosal fentanyl citrate and oral oxymorphone have different pharmacokinetics than the agents mentioned above and are dosed differently – see Fast Facts #103 and #181.

Havøysund Tourist Route by Reiulf Ramstad Architects
Reiulf Ramstad Architects have completed a winding concrete ramp to facilitate walking from the roadside down to the seaside in Havøysund, Norway.
Description from the architects:
The objective is quite simply to single out and magnify the experience of walking from the roadside down to the seaside at this very special place. Therefore a chief concern was to slow down this movement and make the path itself a means of refocusing the experiential mode: a measured, restrained approach that creates awareness.
The primary functional concern was universal accessibility. Instead of opting for a dual solution with staircase and ramp, we came up with the notion of making the ramp the common entryway and develop it into the integral character of the project. Because of the inclination of the site, and in order to create the reductive motion, the ramp had to be very long. The winding river of the path prolongs the approach and in so doing opens up new perspectives and experiences for the visitor.
Located in the extreme north of Norway, in a landscape almost lunar in its barren and inhospitable beauty, the facility should ideally be completely self-sustainable in terms of power input and waste output. The general notion was to create a human detail in the vastness of the landscape that is as timeless as the landscape itself and that brings attention to the relationship between the duration of experiences and the hugeness of the spatial circumstance.

Nice incorporation of the ramps. The curves of the ramp and the concrete finish work great on the shore. I wish there were places like this in my country.I bet a lot of people who visit this place have a blast taking some photos.

Very nicely done. The juxtaposition of the concrete and the cliffs blends very well. Love the forms and finish quality of the material.

Both Pattie Smith and David Byrne have offered up their own tributes to the late Lou Reed. Smith penned her tribute to the Velvet Underground rocker in the New Yorker, while Byrne's tribute appeared in Rolling Stone.
"I searched for the significance of the date - October 27th - and found it to be the birthday of both Dylan Thomas and Sylvia Plath," Smith began. "Lou had chosen the perfect day to set sail - the day of poets, on Sunday morning, the world behind him."
Byrne recalled meeting Reed in his New York apartment in the Talking Heads early days:
"Lou was talking a mile a minute and going through tubs of Haagen-Dazs ice cream while he suggested some variations and adjustments we might make to some of our songs. He began to play our song 'Tentative Decisions' (a very Lou song title, no?) but he played it way slower than we were doing it. He was showing us how the song might be as a ballad."

India's Chemical Sector Goes Global
Investors Look for Opportunities in a Huge Market
9:13 AM MDT | May 20, 2008 | Natasha Alperowicz
The huge opportunities for the chemical industry in India were the main theme of the first annual joint Chemical Week/Indian Chemical Council (ICC; Mumbai) conference held recently in Mumbai, which attracted some 250 participants and was preceeded by a CEO roundtable. "Potential investors are changing their views on India," said Deepak C. Mehta, managing director at Deepak Nitrite (Pune) and former president and vision committee chairman of ICC. "Whereas before investors' choice was always China or India, it is now more like China and...

Wind instruments > Bassoon and Violoncello
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Sonata B flat major K. 292 (196c) for Bassoon and Violoncello (Basso continuo)
編集者: Henrik Wiese
通奏低音の実現: Wolfgang Kostujak
16.00 €
Urtext Edition, paperbound
ページ: 39 (V, 14, 10, 10), 大きさ 23,5 x 31,0 cm
Did Mozart intend this work to be a duo for two bass instruments, or – as the simple basso-like manner of the second part suggests – a sonata for bassoon and keyboard instrument? We will probably never know the answer because the autograph has gone missing. Our edition allows different instrumentation; it not only contains scores for the duo version but also one so it can be performed as a solo bassoon sonata, following the style of the time with a figured bass realization. And cellists – who are not blessed with many works by Mozart – will appreciate the version of this endearing work for cello and figured bass.

September 26, 2013 By Louis Zacharilla
Could you identify the Renaissance if you were living in it? Or if it arrived in your home town? We love to tag our era, no matter how inaccurate. Here we are in "The Digital Age." (Not long ago, it was "The Space Age.) Since the dawn of "The Nuclear Age," we have lived in an "Age of Anxiety," a phrase made familiar by a great Leonard Bernstein composition. At its inception the Intelligent Community Forum coined its own phrase, "The Broadband Economy," to give a blanket description to a global technological phenomenon.
We name eras to give order to the unpredictable quarks of time. I joked with my history professors, as I do now with audiences that the Renaissance began predictably. People went to bed on the third Sunday of October 1502 and woke-up to learn that the Late Middle Ages were over. What happened next? Politicians promised that there would be no new taxes and an enterprising artist in Florence began making t-shirts that read, "Kiss Me, I Started the Renaissance."
It did not happen that way. The overlap and linkage between one period and the next ensures that causes will always be blurred. However, we DO know that there was a flourishing and a rebirth of culture. Communities became canvases of a new type. The printing press and other technologies and discoveries accelerated the introduction and distribution of ideas. Learning – especially a rediscovery of old truths (the Greek Classics) was now central to forces pushing societies forward. Observation, the essence of the scientific method, was similarly introduced. The period that followed enlightened wider segments of the population. The seeds of democracy emerged in Europe and in North America and finally reached all shores. Science infused itself in daily life mandating collaboration. We saw a period of progress led by learning, technology and the emergence of "open source government."
Sound familiar?
The cliché states that "history does not repeat/but that it rhymes from time to time." I would argue against that. I believe it does repeat because there are universal truths. The challenge for every era is to give a new voice to these old truths. To refresh community narratives so that they help us recover our best attributes and sustain us for at least three generations.
This lands me in one of the unlikely symbols of the new renaissance, the American state of Ohio. Why Ohio? I have been asked this question since we chose to locate our first North American Institute for the Study of the Intelligent Community on the campus of Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio.
There are three reasons: OneCommunity, Dublin and Columbus.
During the end of a miserable dark age in Cleveland, when nearly one in every three adults fell into the still sadness of poverty, a nonprofit called OneCommunity deployed a community-based broadband network to facilitate what is now the foundation of a new knowledge economy. At our Institute's symposium in October, you will hear Lev Gonick, the group's founder speak about how the network became the new railroad. So much so, that by 2005, Intel had named the region one of its there "Worldwide Digital Communities." In 2008, we named Lev's partner, Scot Rourke, our Visionary of the Year. The re-energizing of the troubled region is unstoppable. Today, OneCommunity's network extends 2,000 miles and it has introduced innovative ecosystems like its Fiberhood project to encourage entrepreneurship.
Further to the south, Dublin, Ohio, known for its Memorial Golf tournament, played on a golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, demonstrates that size truly does not matter. With a mere 42,000 souls, the community, which rests on the edge of 15th largest metropolitan area in the nation, the state capital Columbus, creates more jobs than it has people to fill them. "Rest" is the last thing Dublin does. It too started with a broadband network which led to the region's first new hospital in decades and sustains and girds more Fortune 500 companies per capita than any other place in the USA. Dublin's Deputy City Manager led the economic development and that is why Dana McDaniel was given the 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award by the Intelligent Community Forum. Dublin has the luxury of saying to companies that do not have the potential necessary to fulfill its vision of an Intelligent Community, "thanks for your interest, but we have no room."
There is room in nearby Columbus. In fact, the two communities share room in places like the TechColumbus incubator. They share the resources of the largest private research institute in the world, Battelle, and certainly benefit from being near and connected to the Ohio Supercomputer and America's top-ranked metropolitan library. While there is no art of a Michelangelo type, culture and the pursuit of excellence are robustly expressed in the competitive and rigorous expression of American football. Non-sports fans persistently underestimate the positive role of athletics on cultures and behavior. It was important to the ancient Greeks and is no different today, although shoulder pads, masks and helmets seem to be better!
The bottom line is that these two communities lead the state's recovery and, with Northeast Ohio, have layered a knowledge economy atop an industrial powerhouse that many gave up for dead. Brookings demographer William Frey reported that Columbus is one of a handful of cities that has reversed the brain drain so prevalent in the post-Industrial Age. It produced 29,000 jobs in a two-year span.
What you find today in Ohio are Intelligent Communities and an Institute for the study of them. There is a lot going on there. The rust and the dusk of a dark period for this part of the world appear to me to be vanishing. A rebirth is underway. It does not happen overnight, nor does it come without pain. The first Renaissance lasted 300 years. We cannot wait so long now. If you can find rust in Ohio's clichéd "rust belt," please send me an email.
About the Intelligent Community Forum

Whether in industrialized or developing nations, communities are challenged to create prosperity, stability and cultural meaning in a world where jobs, investment and knowledge increasingly depend on advances in communications. For the 21st Century community, connectivity is a double-edge sword: threatening established ways of life on the one hand, and offering powerful new tools to build prosperous, inclusive and sustainable economies on the other. ICF seeks to share the best practices of the world's Intelligent Communities in adapting to the demands of the Broadband Economy, in order to help communities everywhere find sustainable renewal and growth. More information can be found at www.intelligentcommunity.org.

Health A-Z
Blood pressure (low) - Causes of low blood pressure
Throughout the day, it is normal for your blood pressure to vary depending on what you are doing.
Stress at work, the temperature outside and your diet could all affect your blood pressure reading.
Each time you have your blood pressure measured, it's important the test is carried out under similar conditions to ensure results are consistent. If you have a low blood pressure reading, your GP will first consider everyday causes that might have affected it, before considering possible underlying causes.
Everyday causes
Many factors have a daily, or even hourly, effect on your heart and circulation. Below are things that could affect your blood pressure and, in some cases, may cause low blood pressure.
- The time of day - your blood pressure falls overnight and rises during the day.
- Your age - your blood pressure usually increases as you get older, but a drop in blood pressure from movement or eating is more common with age.
- How stressed or relaxed you are - you have lower blood pressure the more relaxed you are.
- How much exercise you do - initially, exercise will raise your blood pressure, but if you are healthy and exercise regularly, your blood pressure will be low when you are resting.
- Temperature - a warm temperature may cause your blood pressure to fall.
- If you have recently eaten - blood will be used for digesting food in your stomach, so the blood pressure elsewhere in your body will fall.
Underlying causes
If your blood pressure is still considered low after taking into account everyday factors, such as those listed above, there may be another cause. Some possibilities are explained below.
Some types of medication may cause low blood pressure, including the following:
- blood pressure lowering medication
- beta-blockers - medicine that may be prescribed for a problem with your heart
- alpha-blockers - medicine prescribed to lower blood pressure for people with high blood pressure (hypertension) and those with prostate gland problems (the prostate is a small gland only found in men located between the penis and bladder)
- some antidepressants
Your GP will discuss possible side effects with you when prescribing medication and your blood pressure will be carefully monitored if you are considered to be at risk of hypotension.
Dehydration can occur if fluid is lost, either through skin from excessive sweating in hot weather, or from the gastrointestinal tract as a result of vomiting or diarrhoea.
Serious illness or conditions
If you have a short-term (acute) illness, your blood pressure will be measured regularly as it is a good indicator of how severe your illness is. A heart condition, such as heart disease or a heart attack, can also cause low blood pressure because your heart may not be able to pump blood around your body.
Neurological disorders
Neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, are conditions affecting your nerves. Low blood pressure can occur if part of your nervous system called the autonomic nervous system is affected.
Your autonomic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that controls bodily functions you do not actively think about, such as sweating and digestion. It also controls the widening and narrowing of your blood vessels.
If there is a problem with your autonomic nervous system, your blood vessels could remain too wide, and this can cause low blood pressure.
Hormone problems
Having a condition that affects production of certain hormones in your body, such as diabetes or Addison's disease, can also cause low blood pressure.
Addison's disease is where the immune system attacks and damages the adrenal glands, which are two small glands located just above your kidneys. They produce hormones that control your blood pressure and maintain the balance of salt and water in your body.
Low blood pressure can also occur if your adrenal glands become damaged, for example because of an infection or a tumour.
Serious injury and shock
Low blood pressure can be caused by serious injuries or burns, particularly if you lose a lot of blood. Low blood pressure can also occur if you go into shock after having a serious injury.
Septic shock and toxic shock syndrome
Septic shock and toxic shock syndrome are caused by bacterial infections. Bacteria attack the walls of the small blood vessels, causing them to leak fluid from the blood into the surrounding tissues. This causes a significant drop in blood pressure.
Anaphylactic shock
Anaphylactic shock, or anaphylaxis, is caused by an allergic reaction. During an allergic reaction, your body produces a large amount of a chemical called histamine, which causes your blood vessels to widen, leading to a sudden, severe drop in blood pressure.
Cardiogenic shock
Cardiogenic shock occurs when your heart cannot supply enough blood to your body, leading to a drop in blood pressure. This can happen during a heart attack.
Other causes
Other possible causes of low blood pressure are listed below.
- miscommunication between the heart and brain - low blood pressure that occurs after standing for long periods of time (neurally mediated hypotension) happens when your body tells the brain your blood pressure is too high, when it's actually too low; this causes your brain to slow down the heartbeat, further reducing your blood pressure
- anaemia - a condition where the amount of haemoglobin in the blood is below the normal level, or there are fewer red blood cells than normal
- prolonged bed rest
- your genes - some research has suggested that low blood pressure is genetic. If your parents have low blood pressure, it is possible you could inherit it from them
In some cases, there is no obvious cause of low blood pressure.

Spartacus and his outnumbered rebels make one last attempt to win freedom in an epic final battle against the Romans led by Marcus Crassus.
Crassus learns that a fellow prominent Roman is attempting to steal the glory of defeating Spartacus he feels is rightfully his. Spartacus aims to secure a bargaining chip he can use against the Romans and celebrates the memory of a fallen brother.
Spartacus and the rebels arrive at a crossroads. With the relentless Crassus driving his men hard in the pursuit of Spartacus, the conflict between Tiberius and Caesar escalates.
Their forces pinned in on a snowbound, impassable ridge, Spartacus and Crixus come into conflict over the method of escape. Crassus discovers it increasingly difficult to control the actions of those closest to him.
As Crassus leads an onslaught against the rebel-occupied city, Gannicus finds himself trapped behind enemy lines. Tiberius is tasked by Crassus to hold a celebration in honor of a man he despises.
Spartacus puts a plan in motion to weaken Crassus' forces and gain the upper hand. Betrayal threatens to foil the plan.
The possible infiltration of a Roman spy causes tension to mount between Spartacus and the men under his command. Crassus resurrects a long abandoned form of Roman punishment to teach his soldiers a brutal lesson.
Spartacus considers striking a deal with a band of marauders to ensure his people stay supplied and fed. Crassus' son Tiberius makes a bold and fateful decision.
Spartacus leads a daring assault to provide food and shelter for his people. Crassus builds a fearsome army and receives an unexpected visitor.
Spartacus continues to assemble a formidable army and outwit Rome's finest commanders. The desperate powers of Rome are forced to turn to the wealthy and ambitious Marcus Crassus to aid in the campaign against the rebellion.

Dwindling supplies and a superior Roman enemy brings the rebellion to its knees. Spartacus must restore hope to his people, as they careen towards their final confrontation with Glaber's army.
Spartacus must convince his people to unite against the imminent Roman assault. Lucretia struggles to be free from the commands of men who threaten her fate, and Glaber's ruthlessness has consequences.
Spartacus gets a chance for vengeance when a prominent Roman is captured, but will he satisfy desire at the cost of the greater good? The intrigue amongst Glaber and the women surrounding him heats up.
Spartacus and his rebels try to increase their numbers by freeing fighters enslaved in foreign wars. Lucretia seeks to recruit one of her husband's former gladiators to outmaneuver powerful Romans.
Betrayed by the Romans. Forced into slavery. Reborn as a Gladiator. Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment.
On the heels of the bloody escape from the House of Batiatus, the gladiator rebellion, lead by Spartacus, continues, striking fear into the heart of the Roman Republic.

twitcher: (n) 1. somebody or something that twitches 2. a birdwatcher who will go to extreme lengths to spot rare birds
After getting busted being drunk and defiant one too many times by her parents, wild and impulsive Trin is shipped from Ohio to Ecuador to spend the summer before her senior year with her estranged uncle Marcus (Marco) Flint. At Marco's hacienda/hotel Trin is forced to work harder than she ever has taking care of the current guests -- a group of fanatical "twitchers," who will do anything to capture a look at the native birds of Ecuador. While she was restless and unhappy in Ohio, Trin doubly yearns to escape the stinging, biting Amazonian elements, the Quechua Indian squatters camping on her uncle's expansive property and, especially, the twitchers, who wake her up at ungodly hours to spot birds and throw odd requests for materials and services at her. Were it not for Benton Reynolds, one of the twitcher leaders, and his interest in her, Trin is sure she would have run into the jungle-covered mountains to find a saner place to be exiled. But Benton, the boy with the biggest birding badge and binoculars, may just be the one who shows Trin how to stop her restless twitching and find peace in her own skin, no matter where she is in the world.
Katie succeeded. She strove and rose and finished and won. Even before she started to crawl, my dad was calling her Katie-did, kind of like the cricket katydid, only while the crickets are experts at camouflage, my sister stood out like a shock of giggle and grace and bright color in the bland backdrop of our Ohio town. She fluttered into rooms, all long limbs and blond strands. She'd settle in a spot and blink and preen and laugh and live. And every eye would be on her. When she fluttered away, she'd made an impression. A deep, lasting one. And she never even tried.
And it occurs to me that I hate these birds. I hate that all these people travelled thousands of miles to come and look at them. To catch a fucking five-second glimpse at one so they could say they did. Then talk about how it made their year. How it completed their lives. Just like Katie made people feel full and whole and happy by simply smiling in someone's general direction.
Don't get me wrong. I love my sister. She's good to me. I'll just never be as good as her.

The staff, level of service and facilities are excellent. If you require a secure , secluded "getaway" its definitely worth a visit. If, on the other hand you are seeking a wild social life involving other guests etc , then its not really designed for that purpose. The Spa and the "Carnivore" are reknowned, and there are notable places to visit locally.

Whilst I understand we would be staying in a STANDARD room, I found the room the be sub standard. We could not even shower in the room as the shower door could not close and the water went all over the floor. The finishes in the room were not good and the bathroom walls had three different shades of white painted on them which were indicative of a very bad touch up job. Food great and Spa facilities very good as was the service.Review by: Enid Dettmer

Whilst we only had 1 night at this hotel we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is in a beautiful setting & excellent value for money. It was a bit costly to get to the hotel from the airport but once there it was great value for money. It's proximity to a game park allowed an easy visit within limited time. The staff were very friendly & helpful & unlike many other places in Africa the facilities all worked well!Review by: Russell Hogg

Selected this hotel because didn't want to stay in Johannesburg for 1 night between flights. It is a distance from Johannesburg International airport about 1hour, but it is a beautiful relaxed hotel with character. Rooms have a real African feel set in lovely gardens. Also in the grounds, had great dinner at Carnivores (different african meats) worthwhile cost Zar175( $aus 30). Next morning had treatment at spa,just heaven and only Zar 350. So turned overnight stop to great time.Review by: Cathie Compton

The hotel is in a fantastic location and has good facilities. Rooms are not kept very clean and we had an incident where a fan was brought into our room while we were out and a bottle of wine was knocked over and left broken. When housekeeping was called they did a very poor job of cleaning up the mess. The next day when cleaning was again done we still found that pieces of broken bottle had still not been removed nor had the floor been vacumed and wiped. I would return to the hotel ony because of the spa and the outdoor facilities but would not really recommend it to others as from a cleanliness point of view a lot needs to be done.Review by: Nirvana Jagessur

We stayed here for 5 nights. Fabulous hotel with excellent and friendly staff. About 45 minutes away from OR tambo airport but near enough to places we wanted to visit. They also recommended us the tour company which has provided us with excellent day to day trips (Boateng Gape tour). Wonderful selection for breakfast provided in Summerhouse restaurant. Dining at Carnivore restaurant is a must try experience for the meat eaters. The night drinks we have at the Gin Box was just the perfect way to end the night. Drinks were dirt cheap and comes with free bags and bags of crisps. This hotel is more like a resort, an oasis of calm and peace. The swimming pool, spa and sauna were the bonuses.Review by: Lani Harper

Really Nice
Nice appearance with light and dark gold with some black, upon opening the bag I got a nice Amaretto like aroma. Tobacco is not damp and it loads well and I sat there and drew through the pipe and the sweet taste was there for several minutes, when I lit the pipe a real nice pleasant sweet Amaretto taste from start to finish and I keept the pipe in my mouth and still got the taste for some time. Very little dottle, no more than one relight.
I ordered five tobacco's from Boswell and this is my Number one and I will reorder larger amounts.
