After-school programs to receive funding
Nine more organizations will receive grants that provide special academic enrichment opportunities for students.
The 21st Century Community Learning Center Grants range from $50,000 to $150,000 a year. While some of these funds go to schools, the grants support programs offered outside of school hours.
"The programming provided by these new grantees, plus the 36 programs we already fund, helps provide meaningful and safe opportunities outside of regular school time to the young people in these areas," said Sue Burgard, who oversees the 21st Century Community Learning Center program in South Dakota. "The Department of Education is pleased to be able to support these important efforts."
21st Century Community Learning Centers provide a range of high-quality services that support student learning and development. Academic enrichment, tutoring and mentoring, homework help, music, arts, sports and cultural activities are supported by the grants. The learning centers also offer literacy and other educational services to families of participating children.
The program is authorized under Title IV, Part B, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The learning centers are intended to assist students from high-poverty and low-performing school areas.
A total of 42 schools, nonprofits groups and community organizations applied for grants. Projects are funded for a period of five years, based upon successful implementation and annual reviews.
This year's grant recipients join 36 grant recipients already serving 60 sites across South Dakota.
2009 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant recipients

text: Consumers in Victoria, Australia will receive an increase in a bonus from the Australian government to buy new homes. The increase to the State's First Home Owner Bonus will provide important stimulus to the first home builders' market, says the Master Builders Association. The state bonus was extended by 12 months and increased from $5,000 to $11,000. In addition, regional first time home buyers will have more money to spend, the Association said, as the additional regional bonus will increase from $3,000 to $4,500.

The Real Population Problem: Too Few Working, Too Many Retired
It's not the total number of people that should be causing worry, but the number of retired people relative to those still working. Across the world, the ranks of retirees are swelling as the ranks of those working—and paying taxes to support retirees—are not keeping up. Something—or someone—has got to give.
So Much for That Merit Raise: The Link between Wages and Appearance
If you think that your career advancement is based solely on your productivity, think again. As hard as it may be for Horatio Alger fans to accept, workers who are taller, thinner or better looking than the rest of us can have an edge.
Basel II Will Trickle Down to Community Bankers, Consumers
Initially, Basel II will affect only the world's largest banking organizations. Eventually, the impact will trickle down to others. Some regional and community bankers, for example, might find it more difficult to survive. Consumers, on the other hand, could wind up with lower rates on home mortgages.

What is the Gospel?
God, being totally perfect and righteous, creatively made and designed everything in awesome, absolute splendor so that all of creation would worship Him and magnify His name. Because of the rebellion of Adam (the first created person), all of humanity and creation are now broken, entirely tainted and corrupted by sin to the core, and are in dire need of restoration and redemption. Now all people are born with a sinful nature and willingly rebel against the holy God and are fully deserving of and destined for damnation and a conscious hell. However, in His unfathomable kindness, God sent His Son Jesus to restore and redeem humanity, ultimately making all things new. Jesus came to the earth as fully God and fully man, suffered in every way imaginable, lived the perfect life no one else could, and was brutally murdered on the Cross in our place and for our sins. He was placed in a tomb for three days, then raised to life where He is now seated next to God in Heaven. He overcame sin, Satan, and death, while purchasing new life for all who turn from sin and trust entirely in Him for hope and salvation.
This Good News through Jesus is totally an act of grace from a compassionate and merciful God to the undeserving. No one can come to God through religious works or good deeds, but only through trusting that what Jesus accomplished on the Cross on their behalf can make them right with God. In other words, being loved by God is not earned through obedience; rather, one who has been accepted by God's grace through faith in Jesus is called to and enabled to obey. This Gospel is both the way a person enters into the family of God and the necessary source of their continual growth as a follower of Jesus. It is simple enough for a child to understand, yet deep enough for one to meditate on throughout life with a constant need and craving for more.

This exhibition was mounted in conjunction with the first Chester H. Kirk Collection
Conference, "Information Resources for Alcohol Research," May 16-
18. sponsored by the Brown University Center
for Alcohol and Addiction Studies, the Brown University
Library, and the Stepping Stones Foundation. Materials on display
include books, pamphlets, posters, broadsides, newspapers,
videotapes, and ephemera from the Kirk Collection and other
holdings of the Rockefeller, Sciences, and John Hay Libraries.
The exhibition at the Rockefeller Library is organized topically, focusing on subjects such as the manufacture of alcohol and alcohol's use as medicine. The Rockefeller exhibition also includes materials dealing with the history of Alcoholics Anonymous and the research on the Brown campus dealing with addictive behavior.
At the John Hay, the exhibition traces the temperance movement in the United States from the 18th century through the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. The Sons of Temperance, Washingtonian Society, Order of Good Templars, Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Father Mathew Societies, Anti-Saloon League, the Prohibition Party, and other groups contribute books, pamphlets, broadsides, songsters, photographs, and even a temperance board game.
The Hay exhibit pays tribute to World War I's crucial role in the history of American temperance. The consumption of alcohol was severely restricted in wartime, and advocates of national prohibition secured passage of the 18th amendment to the Constitution. Glass magic lantern slides published for use in temperance lectures to soldiers and sailors during the war are among the most unusual and most interesting artifacts of this era. Converted to 35mm format for digital scanning by Slide Makers, Providence, R.I., a small sample appears here:
|"We Invite Your Attention ...," the introductory slide for a temperance program modified for wartime use.
|"Harry Lauder says ..." American temperance groups borrowed existing British wartime temperance slides like this one featuring the words of famed music hall entertainer Harry Lauder.
|"Fooling with the enemy ..." Another British slide modified for American soldiers and sailors, with the image and words of warning of Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe.
|"U.S.S. 'The Recruit' ...," an aerial view of the U.S. Navy recruiting center at Union Square on 14th Street in Manhattan.
|"Alcohol has sometimes been erroneously described as a shock absorber ..." A civilian temperance message now serves as the caption for a battlefront image.
|"Of the Poison Brand." Medical and scientific testimonials to alcohol's toxic effects.
|"Where Quick Wits are Needed Alcohol Slows Wits and Confuses Action." A slide tying the temperance message to wartime aviation
The John Hay Library exhibit also devotes special sections to the works of Timothy Shay Arthur, author of Ten Nights In A Bar-Room, and to the scores of other authors, composers, and publishers who supplied the advocates of temperance with novels, children's literature, and temperance speeches, skits, and songs, including a special display of twenty "Battle Hymns of the Cold-Water Army" from Brown's sheet music collection. Temperance graphic art is honored as well. One of the most remarkable examples is "The Tree of Intemperance", Nathaniel Currier's famous 1849 etching. Popular as this image was, nearly a quarter of a century passed before Currier & Ives added the companion "Tree of Temperance" to the list of morally-uplifting decorative prints to be hung on the walls of American parlors. See larger image.

Lawrence Tech offers a wide variety of opportunities for students looking to study abroad for a full semester or participate in other international experiences that range from one week to an entire summer. Study Abroad is a wonderful opportunity to explore a new country and a new culture. Many students take advantage of their extra time to also visit places outside of their host city or even host country.
Study abroad programs have expanded to include opportunities in Germany, France, England, Italy, and Mexico to name a few, as well as volunteer abroad opportunities. The university also hosts educational tours every summer to different countries around the world, sometimes for credit.
Going overseas for a summer term or a semester is the best way to develop as a leader with a global view. There is no better way to understand and appreciate the history, culture, and language of foreign society than to participate in an international experience opportunity.

Keynote papers
at the 2012 conference will be presented by a
number of leading experts from around the world on topical CFD
Martin Sommerfeld
studied aeronautical engineering at the Technical University Aachen and received his Diploma in 1981.
He completed his Doctoral degree at the same University in 1984. Then he spent one year at Kyoto University Japan on a research fellowship.
In 1986 he moved to the Institute of Fluid Mechanics (Prof. Durst, University Erlangen), headed the Two-Phase Flow research group and completed a
Habilitation "Modelling and Calculation of Particle-Laden Flows using the Euler/Lagrange Approach". In October 1994 he was appointed
Professor of Mechanical Process Engineering (University Halle). In 1997 he received the DECHEMA Award for contributions to multiphase flow measurements,
modelling and numerical prediction.
Martin Sommerfeld organised a continuing series of workshops on two-phase flow predictions, ASME symposia, the Int. Conf. on Multiphase Flow
(ICMF 2007) and several other international conferences. He has 150 reviewed journal papers and 160 conference papers. His research activities
are concentrated on fundamentals of dispersed multi-phase flows for developing physical models describing the transport phenomena, including experiments
and direct numerical simulations. The developed models are implemented in the Euler/Lagrange approach for predicting technical and industrial multi-phase
flow processes.
Rajat Mittal
is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University (JHU). He received the B. Tech. degree in aeronautical engineering
from the Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur in 1989, the M.S. degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville in 1991
and the Ph.D. degree in applied mechanics from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in 1995. He joined the Center for Turbulence Research
Stanford University, Stanford, CA, as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 1995, where he conducted research in the area of turbulent flow simulations. Subsequently,
he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Florida where he taught from 1996 to 2001. Before coming to JHU he taught at George

Thread: Metformin after hysterectomy??
Metformin after hysterectomy??
I am new to this site. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1998 and began Metformin in 2000. I have been on it ever since. I just had a vaginal hysterectomy on December 1st (kept ovaries). My hysterectomy was for uterine fibroids and a prolapsed uterus - not for PCOS. I had to stop the metformin for the surgery, but started taking it again - having some of those awful side effects again too -bummer. Anyway, wondering if anyone has had a hysterectomy and kept taking metformin? What has been your experience?
I had a hysterectomy in May and really wasn't officially diagnosed with PCOS until about October. Like you the hysterecomy was for other reasons but my doctor seemed to hope it would correct my excess androgen levels as well. Well when that didn't happen she sent me to an Endocrinologist who then diagnosed PCOS. He put me on Met pretty much at my insistance and I think it is really beginning to help me but I've only been on it for about 3 weeks. I think my blood sugar is more stable which is helping me not crave carbs as much and my face seems less oily. I am trying to change my eating habits but it's tough. I have lost a couple pounds but know I need to continue to make changes in my lifestyle if I want to really get better. I have diabetes very strongly in my family and had gestational diabetes with my last child so I am really expecting to stay on Met for the long term. I did find that now that I have had a hysterectomy my Endo didn't think my PCOS even needed to be treated since I wasn't trying to concieve but luckily after some discussion he agreed to let me try Met.Pam770
A hysterectomy will not address your PCOS issues. The met will help address the IR and control the PCOS. I'd definitely keep taking it.Christy (35) married to Scott (47) since 5/12/12

I agree with the other ladies. PCOS is not just a hormonal disorder (and your body will still be producing hormones since you kept your ovaries, and it would even if you hadn't), it is also a metabolic one. Met will help you to avoid metabolic syndrome which often goes hand in hand with PCOS (high cholesterol, diabetes, etc.). I am nearing menopause but will continue to take Met (even if I wasn't diabetic I would, too). PCOS doesn't end with a hysterectomy or menopause; in fact, that's when the scarier health concerns tend to arise and when treatment for insulin resistance is most important.

rock what you got
Secretly…I really like this song.
Secretly…I really like this song.
When I decided to go on my journey of losing 100lbs I did it purely for me. I was tired of being tired. I was tired of eating, and eating and feeling horrible. It's funny because now I've got people asking me how I did it and if I feel any different. I feel a lot different honestly. I can run up flights of stairs without getting winded. Heck I can even walk up 8-12 steps without getting winded. I have more energy. I am proud of myself – which I haven't been in a while. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel – knocking off another 50-60 by summer.
So what's the biggest change?
My wardrobe or lack of it. I have spent the past few days doing a deep clean of the clothes I can no longer wear because they are too big. I've got four 55 gallon trash bags full of clothes to give to Goodwill now. So now my problem isn't not having clothes because they are too small. Now my problem is not having clothes to wear because everything is too big and needs to be thrown out. It's a great feeling. I kept some things from a few years ago that I really liked and they fit pretty good back then. Now they are baggy on me. My clothes are the biggest change.
I've got enough to get me through until March I think. March should be when I hit my second goal and can actually buy clothes for the long haul. It will be so nice. I am not looking forward to actually buying a whole new wardrobe either. My rough guess is that it will be $1k-$1500 (at the least) since I'll be buying dress clothes and everything. Clothes are expensive. Good thing I can do it in short bursts.
Auto-tuning has become pretty big within the music world. Especially within the hip-hop and R&B genres. This video made me laugh pretty good.
I was emailed a link for an ad on Craigslist for an 'after rapture pet care.' Here's a clip of the ad;
I am here to offer you pet care service for after the rapture. As an atheist, I will surely still be here on this earth post rapture and would love to look after your pets for a small fee and make sure they are still well taken care of after you and your family have been raptured. You will be able to look down on them from heaven and see them being well cared for by me and living happy, healthy lives. Do not let my atheism scare you! I am a moral and loving pet owner and would never do harm to any animal.
For a small deposit of only $50, you can be assured that your pets will be well cared for from the time that you are raptured until the end of their natural life. They will get adequate amounts of food, water, and shelter as well as plenty of exercise and socialization as I would imagine there will be a lot of pets that will be abandoned by Jesus the pet hater that will need to be cared for.
Really? For only $50 you will look after my pets? How about disruptive middle school students?
This is why people think we are irrelevant.
I have been following Los for awhile on his blog. He's got some funny stories. He just posted about his recent encounter with Enterprise Rent-A-Car. It's sad but so funny. Click here to read it. Here's a clip;
Dear Enterprise Rent-A-Car, I am the customer who you told you would not rent a car to because I had an out of state license and a debt card.
Dear Enterprise Rent-A-Car, I am the customer who you told there was nothing you could do and to please leave.
Dear Enterprise Rent-A-Car, I am the customer who you told, had I had a GA drivers license, you would rent a car to me.
I just read this article on AOL's homepage. Here's what it says,
"On a British Airways flight from New Delhi to London, first-class passenger Paul Trinder wakes up to find the corpse of a woman who had died in the economy cabin in the seat next to him. Upon complaining, Trinder — a frequent flier who logs 200K miles per year with the airline — is told he will not be compensated and should just "get over it."
I guess this is a whole new definition of customer service.

International Eucharistic Congress Dublin 2012
Themes and Highlights
I participated in the 50th International Eucharistic Congress, held in Dublin from 10 -17 June 2012. It quickly became apparent that the Catholic Church in Ireland was taking this high profile opportunity to confront the scandal of abuse in the Irish Church in an honest, humble, and very public way, admitting responsibility and asking the Lord for healing for the victims and for the Church.
- In a penitential act of atonement, the Papal Legate to the Congress, the Canadian former Archbishop of Québec, Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Prefect of the Vatican's Sacred Congregation for Bishops, went to Lough Derg, that mystical place of pilgrimage, where he met some survivors of abuse.
- Then, with thoughtful words of contrition, the principal Penitential Liturgy of the Congress devoted an entire section of prayer to expressing sorrow for the sins and omissions of the abuse crisis.
- Again, Cardinal Sean Brady, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland, in a moving homily at one of the principal Masses of the Congress, apologised to Ireland and to the world for abuse perpetrated by clergy and other servants of the Church, and for the inadequate and self-serving response sometimes given to such abuse by those in positions of responsibility in the Church.
- Finally, in unequivocal words, Pope Benedict XVI called that abuse "appalling" in a video message to a packed Croke Park at the Closing Mass of the Congress.
- And in general, desperate to lift this dark shadow, the Congress was literally peppered by prayers and calls and exhortations for an authentic and lasting spiritual renewal of the Catholic Church in Ireland, both personal and institutional, so that such abuse or its concealment can never happen again.
At the same time, the tens of thousands of people who attended the various events of the Congress also experienced the central purpose of the Congress. If I can borrow from the words of Archbishop Fouad Twal, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, the Congress proclaimed and celebrated the on-going miracle of the presence of Jesus Christ who abides in his Church in the wonderful mystery of the Eucharist. The Eucharistic Christ remains forever the source of our joy and of our hope and of our commitment to the authentic renewal of our lives and of the Church.
Nowhere was this more graphically illustrated than in the Eucharistic Procession which for ninety minutes wound its way from the Congress Campus through the streets of the local area to the south of Dublin's busy city centre. This huge procession was an act of faith and joy in which thousands participated prayerfully, and it was a timely act of witness for the Irish people that Jesus Christ wishes to dwell in their midst now and always.
I thought that the whole Congress was an intense moment of communion with the Lord and with the Church universal. For although the vast majority of participants were Irish, there were pilgrims from all over the world including more than 200 Cardinals and Bishops from the five continents. The universal character of the Congress was not lost on the Catholics of Ireland. Many expressed their grateful appreciation that bishops, priests, religious and lay pilgrims had come to Ireland for the Congress from all over the world.
It was like the fond embrace of the universal Church for the Catholic Church in Ireland for everything the rest of the world had received from Ireland over the centuries and for this particular moment in the history of the Irish Catholic Church. It was the universal Church saying to the Church in Ireland: "Your shame is our shame; your pain is our pain; your sorrow is our sorrow. And at the same time, your hope is our hope; your commitment to renewal is our commitment; your determination to safeguard is our determination; your joy in Christ is our joy too. We are brothers and sisters in Christ, not in any sentimental or facile sense, but in a profound spirit of communion in Christ, in our mutual need for conversion and in the desire for true holiness."
The principal liturgies and Masses were impressive, devout and well organised. To my eye, they seemed very well attended, even in some very persistent rain! In general, I enjoyed the liturgical music and I was pleased to note some good quality very sing-able settings of the new texts of the Mass which we could well adopt here.
And it was so uplifting to be among the nearly 80,000 participants who had gathered for the Congress Closing Mass at Croke Park, Dublin's Gaelic Sports Stadium. In the pre-Mass programme, we were uplifted by songs and hymns from wonderful choirs, from the singing sensation from Northern Ireland 'The Priests', and from the operatic soprano Celine Byrne, whose rendition of "O Lord my God" was extraordinarily moving. The Principal Celebrant at the Mass was the Pope's Special Legate to the Congress, Cardinal Marc Ouellet, while our own Cardinal O'Brien was one of the principal concelebrants. The whole Croke Park experience was a true festival of faith in Jesus Christ and an explosion of joy and thanksgiving which will surely gladden the hearts of Irish Catholics.
The Congress also included an impressive number of talks and workshops each day from morning until evening around the Congress Campus situated at the RDS Arena and in Simmonscourt. These workshops were nearly always oversubscribed. I know that from experience because I could not gain entry to any of the ones that I fancied. And no, there were no concessions for bishops. We were all cheerfully equal in the queues! It seemed to me that the numbers which frequented the Congress on each day amply justified the expense and effort to which the Catholic Church in Ireland and the Archdiocese of Dublin went to in order to host and stage the Congress. It was a hugely impressive undertaking, and there was throughout an enthusiastic and positive atmosphere among participants who showed a real thirst for prayer, for catechesis and for deeper communion with Jesus Christ.
During the Congress I never forgot that Ireland has been traditionally and until relatively recently arguably the most practising Catholic country in Europe. Throughout its history, Catholic Ireland has contributed massively to the evangelisation of Europe and of the world. Ireland has provided priests and religious in prodigious numbers for the whole English speaking world and for the mission lands. No other Catholic community of its size has contributed so generously and so valiantly in the name of Jesus Christ to the propagation of the faith, to the education of children and young people, to the care of the poor and needy, and to the welfare and healing of the sick than has the Catholic Church in Ireland. And, as we know well, Scotland has benefitted too from the spiritual treasury which is Catholic Church in Ireland. That was largely why I chose to attend the Eucharistic Congress in Dublin.
I left the Congress wishing that more priests and people from Scotland had been able to be present. They would have enjoyed it and the Irish would have been so pleased to see them. I hope too that the Congress will lift the hearts and the spirits of Ireland's bishops, priests and people, and give the Catholic Church in Ireland a vantage point from which She can once again commend Herself to the Irish people in the unfolding and shaping of Ireland's future, contributing faith, wisdom, and massive experience of what is required for human flourishing and for the common good.

Obviously a San Francisco-Texas World Series was not going to match Philadelphia-Yankees in the ratings game, but it has not landed in the tank.
with Game 4's ratings the best ratings to date - opposite Sunday Night Football - the Series is 8 percent ahead of the 2008 Series between the Phillies and Tampa Bay.
San Francisco's market provided a 36.3 rating and Texas 31.8. That Giants' rating was the highest in the Bay Area since Game 7 of 2002, when the Angels beat the Giants.
Is that good news? Not really. What we really need are horrible ratings that will dissuade the networks from being interested, allowing the MLB Network to telecast the entire postseason, which would also allow day games and not so many of these forced stoppages between series.
MLBN's postgame shows are far more insightful than ESPN's, if you take away the fawning on-field interviews. The best combination is Greg Amsinger as the host with Billy Ripken and Kevin Millar. And the amazing thing - and it's also true with the NFL Network - is that the house network are far more truthful and critical than ESPN.

in Rostock-Laage.
With the first ASTA (Aircrew Synthetic Training Aids) Full
Mission Simulator (FMS) now introduced and the Cockpit Trainer
(ECT) already in operation since early this year, the German Air
Force now can use two ASTA training devices to perform simultaneous
training at the same Main Operating Base (MOB). This provides
greater flexibility in delivering the training syllabus to the
The Eurofighter consortium will deliver a total of 19 Full
Mission Simulators (FMS) plus Cockpit Trainer/Interactive Pilot
Stations and associated ancillary devices to the five air forces
that have ordered Eurofighter Typhoon.
In March 2006 the first Cockpit Trainer was accepted and entered
into service. Following this achievement the ASTA development
programme continued at pace leading to a new and improved software
release. This incorporated increased functionalities and
capabilities thus enabling use on the ASTA Full Mission
The FMS has a 13 channel 360 degrees high resolution Visual
System, which allows a higher degree of immersion for the pilot
into the operational environment.
The next ASTA software release is planned for later in 2006 and
will be used by all the Nations for Operational Training.

text: Here's the Intrade betting market contract for "Barack Obama to be re-elected President in 2012." As you can see, not only have the odds of reelection fallen, the contract has decisively broken through both its 50-day (brown line) and 100-day (purple line) moving averages. Now, I am not a professional technical analyst. But I am pretty sure that when stocks do that, it's usually seen as a negative sign, especially if it happens on higher trading volume, the case here.

The National Lacrosse League
(NLL) has announced that the 2009 NLL Entry Draft will be held on Wednesday,
September 9 at 7pm ET in the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, NY.
The draft will consist of six rounds. The league's eleven member clubs will select players from the top NCAA programs and Major Junior Lacrosse Leagues in Canada. The Rochester Knighthawks currently hold the top two selections in this year's Entry Draft.
The Washington Stealth will not select until the third round of this year's draft. Their first round pick was dealt to Toronto in 2006, in the deal that put Stealth Captain Colin Doyle in Red and Black. The Stealth does not hold a second round pick due to the deal that brought Jamison Koesterer to the squad from the Buffalo Bandits last month.
The Stealth currently hold the 29th and 30th picks of the draft in the third round. They also have the 49th pick (5th round) and the 58th pick (6th round). Despite not holding a pick until the third round, Stealth President and General Manager Johnny Mouradian is confident they can find top-notch talent in what is being touted as one of the deepest drafts in recent memory.
"The number of impact
players coming out of the US and Canada is making this an extremely deep and
exciting draft," said Mouradian. "We are working to move up in the
draft with a trade, but there will undoubtedly be guys in the later rounds that
will challenge our veterans for playing time in January."
The Stealth begin play for the 2010 season on January 9 at the Comcast Arena. Season tickets are currently on sale and start at just $75. For ticket information, log on to www.stealthlax.com or call 877-MY-75-TIX.

Sadie Frost
|Sadie Frost
|Sadie Liza Vaughan
19 June 1965
Islington, London, England
|Years active
|Gary Kemp (1988–1995)
Jude Law (1997–2003)
|David Vaughan (deceased)
Mary Davidson
Sadie Liza Frost (born 19 June 1965)[1] is an English actress, who currently runs fashion label Frost French and has designed the kitchens for a new development in the East End of London.
Early life[edit]
Frost was born in Islington, London[2] to psychedelic artist David Vaughan, who worked for the Beatles, and his then-16-year-old muse, actress Mary Davidson.[1]
She has described her childhood as a "chaotic but positive experience,"[1] as she was born in Islington but spent much of her youth in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire after her parents separated. Her parents had six relationships between them, which gave her 4 sisters and 5 brothers, including fellow actresses Holly Davidson and Jade Davidson; primary school teacher Jessi Frost, brothers called Gabriel Jupiter and Tobias Vaughan; and a sister named Sunshine Purple Tara Velvet.[3]
One of Frost's stepfathers – the rock photographer Robert Davidson – was a follower of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh cult, who forbade the children to say the words "No" or "Sorry"; during her father's colour-therapy phase, he insisted that everybody in the house wear orange and he wouldn't let them eat anything that was red. They also had to take showers wearing tracksuits, and they were forced to refer to objects as the most opposite they could think of as a test of character, for example calling apples elephants.[1]
Frost appeared in a Jelly Tots advertisement at age three and appeared with Morecambe and Wise at age five. She attained a scholarship to the Italia Conti Academy,[3] but after an early eating disorder,[4] she gave up acting at 13 and attended Hampstead School.[5] On graduation she left home to escape her parents, and at 19 she appeared in the play Mumbo Jumbo at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, directed by Nicholas Hytner.
As an actress, Frost has performed in: Press Gang and Casualty.[6] Her first film role was in Diamond Skulls, though her most memorable film appearance is as vampire Lucy Westenra in Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992. She earned her living mainly through appearing in music videos, including for Pulp's song "Common People", Planet Perfecto featuring Grace "Not Over Yet '99"; and various productions for Spandau Ballet where she met first husband Gary Kemp. Frost and Kemp appeared together in the 1990s film The Krays. They appeared in two more films together, one of which was filmed while they were separated: 1994's Magic Hunter, which required them to participate in a love scene.
Frost took a role opposite Jude Law in Paul W. S. Anderson's directorial debut Shopping. After marrying Law and having three children with him, she cut down on her acting commitments in the late 1990s, and moved into producing and co-founding the production company Natural Nylon.
In 1999, she co-founded the fashion label FrostFrench with her friend, Jemima French. The label started in lingerie and expanded into clothing collections. FrostFrench won Elle Magazine's Designers of the Year Award 2004. In 2004, she wrote, presented and produced a short lived series What Sadie did next... for E4, and in 2005 appeared in Eating with...Sadie Frost on BBC2. In March 2006, Frost flew to South Africa to part-fund an orphanage for the Homes of Hope project. In September 2006, aged 40, she posed nude for Canadian photographer Bryan Adams for a PETA anti-fur advert to coincide with London Fashion Week.[7] In 2009, she made her West End debut in Touched ... For the Very First Time, a new one-woman show by Zoë Lewis, directed by Douglas Rintoul and produced by Imogen Lloyd Webber.
In January 2010 she starred in the play Fool For Love alongside Carl Barat, formerly of the Libertines. The play showed at the Riverside Studios theatre.
Personal life[edit]
When 16 and dancing in a music video, she met Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp. They married on 7 May 1988 and their son, Finlay, was born in 1990. Frost and Kemp were married for five years and separated; they divorced on 19 August 1995.[8]
She met Jude Law during the work on the film Shopping. They married on 2 September 1997 and had three children: son Rafferty (born 1996), daughter Iris (born 2000) and son Rudy (born 2002). Frost and Law divorced on 29 October 2003.[9] Frost named model Kate Moss as Iris' godmother and BBC Radio 1 deejay Nick Grimshaw as Rudy's godfather.

rahat lokum
by Sean
Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Bülent Ortaçgil - "Suna Abla". In 1973 and early 1974, Nick Drake was alive. In Turkey, Bülent Ortaçgil was alive too. Drake visited France, he visited Milan. Ortaçgil recorded Benimle Oynar Mýsýn. They didn't meet, I don't think. But I like to imagine that Nick changes his plans, that he and Françoise Hardy altered course en route from Bologna. That they made a quiet, secret trip. It looks so difficult, there on the map - by boat from Italy to Greece to Turkey, or by road through the Iron Curtain, through a mess of Eastern European countries. But Nick coulda done it. He could have rented a baby blue car, driven with the windows down, long hours of happiness, his friend Françoise sitting next to him, she singing "Northern Sky" and he smiling at the silliness of it, smiling and driving.
And imagine they make it. They arrive in Istanbul. Françoise has heard about this folk club, down near the university. So they drop in and meet the owner. He's pretty hip, with a long moustache and thick-frame glasses. He serves them a strong tea in small cups. He speaks english pretty good. They ask about music and he says: "Oh-yes, oh-yes. There is music here. Tomorrow night. There is open mic." And they grin at this, Nick and Françoise, at the idea of an open mic in Istanbul. They walk through the streets that evening, smelling smells, seeing mangy cats on old stone walls. In the morning they are woken, in separate rooms, by the muezzin's call to prayer. They walk around, to the market. Nick Drake buys a handful of cardamom pods, just to hold in his hand and smell, till he finally lets them fall off and into the breeze.
When night falls they go back to the club. They are excited, buzzing in their bones, giddy with the feeling of a new city - with the room full of strangers singing songs.
Nick decides to play. He's one of the first and he shuffles bashfully to the stage, taking the offered guitar. Françoise claps heartily. He clears his throat and he plays "Which Will". And he's no more than a few lines in when already there are some murmurs in the room. There are exclamations of surprise, whispers. Nick is not used to having his songs recognised and for a moment he misunderstands, thinking he's offended them in some way. But then he sees the nodding faces; the handful of them that are singing along, under their breath. Some of them know him. Nick's always wanted to be famous, always wanted to have people sing along, but no not here on this day of strangers, on this night in Istanbul. He finishes the song but his face is downturned, hair over his eyes, and he is quiet when he goes back down to sit with his friend and sip his tea. Someone offers them a hookah and he says "No, no," turning away into the shade.
Bülent is next. They all know him there. The Turks clap for their friend. He nods to them. "Thank-you," he says, in turkish. Then he turns to Nick and Françoise. "Welcome," he says to them. Françoise smiles, "Teßekkür ederim," she says, clumsily. Nick says nothing. Then Bülent Ortaçgil plays.
He plays "Suna Abla". He plays it tenderly, carefully, but also gladly: he takes pleasure in the chorus and especially the short syllables at its end. His girlfriend's there on stage, hands held behind her back, relaxed as she sings. "La da-da," they go. Bülent's thinking of Five Leaves Left, which he loves so much, and there's Nick Drake in front of him, Nick Drake hunched over, staring at his fingers. Bülent Ortaçgil sings in turkish but he sings for anyone who will listen; anyone who knows dawns, dusks, entre chien et loup.
Six months later, Nick Drake is dead.
(And Bülent is still performing.)
(Thank you Dylan.)
The Knife - "Heartbeats (OneMusic Session)". The Knife, twice in one week?! Why yes. A year ago, The Knife played on BBC's One Music, and on the show they performed "Heartbeats". It's a strange version, so much heavier than the pinball fizzing of the original, like all of the song's joy has been sunk deep deep in the ocean, where only anchors can trawl. While the synth-lines still run up and down, a voice twisted up in itself, it reminds me more of José González's acoustic cover than of The Knife's original take - they're both tugging the same threads from the song, pulling till there's nothing left in their hands. It's a song for a love dead and buried; yeah, for something drowned.
[pre-order Silent Shout (where this does not appear) / buy Deep Cuts, where "Heartbeats" originally appears / buy José González's Veneer]
Dave at Popsheep has posted some lovely tracks by Colin Blunstone, which he says reminds him of Final Fantasy, but there's a ton of Joao Gilberto there, too.

Winner of the Cat Power contest to be announced next week. Wonderful submissions (and lots more by email, too). Go a-browsing.Posted by Sean at February 2, 2006 6:41 PM
What a wonderful write-up! Sounds great...Posted by Matthew in London at February 3, 2006 8:54 AM
Sean, thank you so much for posting this version of "Heartbeats" - I didn't even know that it existed!Posted by Matthew at February 3, 2006 10:41 AM
Wow, another post from STG that is totally lifted up into greatness - for me that Bülent Ortaçgil write up is up there with the beautiful Camera Obscura post a little while back. Excellent job guys!Posted by Bad Haired Barber at February 3, 2006 10:59 AM
gosh, you have such a way with words. beautfulPosted by icemonster at February 3, 2006 1:08 PM
ah! did you get this from the ilX thread?Posted by TAO at February 3, 2006 1:57 PM
ahh wonderful post you guysPosted by dan at February 3, 2006 8:49 PM
as a new yorker who is originally from istanbul, i totally admired the write up. benimle oynar misin is such a sweet song, hopefully you ll get to post that in the near future as well. i believe you ve been to istanbul before?? also, i love the original heartbeats by the knife, this one you posted sounded a little weird i thought.Posted by cenk at February 3, 2006 10:59 PM
SEAN YOU LYING SON OF A BITCHPosted by Snail Lover at February 3, 2006 11:04 PM
I'm pretty sure that version of "Heartbeats" is the one I'm going to end up with on my end-of-decade lists in a few years - I doubt "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye"-level stateliness makes itself obsolete as quick as arresting chintziness.Posted by James at February 4, 2006 7:50 PM
A lot of obscure foreign music lately....Posted by John at February 5, 2006 3:21 AM
"in separate rooms"Posted by Anonymous at February 6, 2006 12:13 AM
really really good music and the writing was awesome.Posted by cole at February 6, 2006 9:44 AM
1) Didn't get this from ILX although maybe my source did.
2) I had read somewhere that Nick and Francoise were friends, and Wikipedia does confirm that, but then Wikipedia is a lying SOB so who knows.
3) I am glad some of you liked it.
4) re "in separate rooms" - i know!Posted by Sean at February 6, 2006 9:52 AM
I love your Bülent Ortaçgil story. I can definitely see it happening.
So many of the catpower contest submissions were really good. I imagine it would be hard to pick a favorite.Posted by Red Ruin at February 6, 2006 7:39 PM
Haha, Sean, you're right about the Knife - this slow version's ace! It's like Jose Gonzalez covered the Knife version, and then the Knife covered the Jose rendition! Karma? Comeuppance? Who knows - but it's awesome! xxPosted by Nicola at February 7, 2006 7:49 AM
many lovely things come from turkey and this track is no exception. the story really made me smile, being a big fan of nick drake and having lived in turkey briefly. thank you!Posted by lisa at February 7, 2006 9:50 PM
Is it just me, or does the Heartbeats MP3 go silent with a minute to go?Posted by Michael Williams at February 8, 2006 9:36 AM
if you want I can YSI the rest of the 2 tracks from the One Music sessionPosted by TAO at February 8, 2006 9:25 PM
I been a fan of "the knife" since - well since karin was in "Honey is cool" a weird indie band from the outskirts of Göteborg, Sweden sometime in the early -90's - Yeah, you guessed it , I'm Swedish ;) - but this song just blew my mind. totally - beats the album version by miles. oh and TAO - YES please put up the rest of the session on YSI - send it in my mail - just remove NOSPAM - I'd be forever thankful!!!Posted by Pete at February 9, 2006 7:00 AM
Whoa - the girl from Honey is Cool is the girl in The Knife? (!!!) Dan posted a honey is cool song here ages ago, which I still love and listen to a lot. It all comes together!
and i'd love to hear the YSI too.Posted by Sean at February 9, 2006 7:11 AM
Yeah, It's the same girl ;) and "Nach Heart" was a damn excellent track too ;) tho they have done funnier and better - a classic is the immiment "oh my daddy" where karin screams w a little girl's voice - "I want a daddy with sugar on, a sugar daddy..." Sean, add me on msn and i can send u the rest of their stuff if you'd be interested - its my email ;)Posted by Pete at February 9, 2006 7:24 AM

Great soil ... Everyone wants it, but not everyone has it. So, how can you build great soil while also capturing waste streams to reincorporate into the natural earth cycles (and generate free food for your flocks and other animals)?
Some Small Farm started four years ago with less than 1% organic matter soil, on land that had been overgrazed year after year into little more than solid clay. The farm now produces bountifully from the application of soil-building principles to the land.
Speaker Bio
John Moody is a homesteader and farmer in Kentucky, who, after discovering his diet was literally killing him with duodenal ulcers, began to transition to real, local foods and local food distribution. He started to work to protect the ability to raise, grow and have access to these foods as a board member for the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense fund. Eventually, he relocated his family to 35 acres of land to put his learning into practice.
