Each noncompetitive Curves facility invites female fitness-seekers to move through a 30-minute circuit of hydraulic resistance machines designed to promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. Shunning cumbersome weight stacks, the hydraulic gadgets adapt to each exerciser's body weight and fitness level to complement her individual abilities, subsequently decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. And because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing unsuspecting grapefruit. Experienced trainers are always nearby to help clients manage their machine maneuvering, and a soundtrack of fun, upbeat music includes cues to let women know when it's time to move on to the next station or break for an air viola solo.
Popsicles, lemonade stands, street festivals?all of these are synonymous with summer, but none so fully encapsulates the spirit of the season as just one day at Jefferson Community Pool. Families can splash around in the pool's crystal-clear waters during open-swim sessions held throughout the summer months. The pool also hosts swimming classes that teach students how to stay afloat and what to do when they encounter a rubber ducky in the wild.
Snap Fitness's around-the-clock gyms enable members to work on their physical well-being with a cornucopia of fitness equipment. With 24-hour access, members don't have to let The Man tell them when to help themselves to Snap's strength and cardio equipment, which features built-in TVs and other media diversions. For those who exercise during conventional hours, Snap's friendly, unintimidating atmosphere welcomes patrons of all ability levels, unlike schoolyard dodge-ball squads. Members also enjoy nationwide access to all Snap Fitness locations, ideal for working out while traveling. For a dose of custom advice, patrons can seek out a personal-training session with a certified coach, who helps them assess and address their fitness goals. Clients reap the benefit of individual attention as a personal trainer helps them tackle weight loss, prepare for an arm-wrestling competition, or unveil the mysteries of arcane cable-weight machines.
When Daniel and Tirzah Hawkins tied the knot, they bore more than typical wedding-day jitters?combined, the couple carried more than 100 pounds of extra weight. Today, the pair of certified personal trainers have shed the extra pounds, but they remember their deeply personal struggles on the road to fitness. That?s why they established Where to Start, a haven for the out of shape and overwhelmed. Personal training, group fitness classes, and gym memberships jump-start workout routines and get clients moving, boosting health and overall wellness.
For more than 35 years, guests of Courthouse Fitness have conquered every hindrance to personal health, taking advantage of a multilayered approach that addresses fitness, diet, and broader facets of well being. Beyond basic features such as weight training, cardiovascular equipment, and immobile floors that force walking, membership grants access to more than 320 group fitness classes that populate each week's schedule, integrating practices such as Pilates and yoga along with aqua Zumba and Jazzercise. Courthouse Fitness's follow the philosophy that being fit means being empowered to embark on any kind of adventure you want. A core tenet within that philosophy is the belief in fun.
The staff does not emphasize a rating system or hierarchy, instead evaluating progress in terms of whether clients become more able to experience an enjoyably active life. Onsite childcare providers take care of young ones while parents work out, and many youth activities also keep kids busy, including swimming and special-needs dance classes. Courthouse Fitness is also part of a network of 70 clubs in the Pacific Northwest; members can work out at those facilities as guests when on the road.
Staffed entirely by DMV–certified instructors, Oregon Driver Education Center has been filling potholes in the knowledge of novice and experienced drivers since 1987. The center's masters of the open road send teens and adults on the path to earning their driver's licenses and maintaining clean driving records with comprehensive DMV drive test prep courses and defense driving classes. With an intimate understanding of the unique challenges facing Oregonian motorists, ODEC also offers an Xtreme Driver Control course that focuses on navigating vehicles through rain, ice, and throngs of rabid snowmen. Additionally, the center's specialty courses teach precautionary practices to medically at-risk drivers.

In 1982, teachers Sam and Lori Mammen started ECS Learning Systems at their living room coffee table in Bulverde, Texas. From the beginning, our company mission has been to create quality, innovative K-12 resources that make teaching easier.
As a leading publisher of state-specific test-prep materials, ECS is pioneering the concept of Integrated Test Prep. This approach encompasses six essential stages of test preparation: diagnose, teach, practice, evaluate, remediate, and reinforce. Traditional test-prep programs focus solely on targeted test practice, creating an imbalance that compromises sound teaching practices. With the TestSMART® and TAKS MASTER® series, teachers can embark on a path to Integrated Test Prep. This balanced approach supports a strong curriculum, varied instructional methods, and targeted test practice.
We have also compiled the best resources available for Spanish/English and Special Education teachers and students. Our comprehensive product catalog includes thousands of activity books, workbooks, test-preparation materials, and other resources for reading, writing, and thinking skills.

Her breasts are barely holding up that dreaa.
She needs to get her grill fixed.
ANd bootie implants. Fug.

Mouth always open, fly in bugs.
Drop mouth Megan, sew it up, close the mouth or something.
Well i think she looks pretty, and if you don't like her or Vanessa then don't post. I like them both, but certainly Vanessa a lot more!
Why are we comparing Megan and Vanessa???? They are both equally beautiful to me.
Jess : 10/20/2007 at 1:08 pm

Country star Miranda Lambert was recently kicking it debut-style with her new Platinum Tour. Redken coloris Amanda Craig from Nashville's Studio Gaven tells us exactly how Lambert acquired her 'do.
Starting back to front, I applied Redken Chromatics 8AG and Chromatics 9AB, and equal parts 30 vol. for Miranda's base, leaving on for 5 minutes. Miranda is a 6/7 base, so using 8AG and 9AB bumped her base and cut out any trace of red.
I then applied Redken Argan-6 Hair Oil for Dry Hair to her ends for protection and shampooed her hair while holding the ends. Afterward, I used the base to cover the baby hair around her face, leaving on for 5 minutes, shampooed, and rough dried her hair.
Next, I applied Redken Up to 7 and 20vol, creating just a few highlights on the root. Then, I balayaged Up to 7 10vol between foils for pops of color. You can also balayage Chromatics 9NGB 10vol to add depth and make the blonde pop. Let process for 20 to 30 minutes, checking on it every 10 minutes.
After processing, I shampooed Miranda using Redken Diamond Oil Shampoo and Conditioner to strengthen the hair and boost the shine and smoothness.
Before blow drying, I sprayed pillow proof blow dry express primer both as a heat protectant and to cut down on blow dry time. I then added Redken velvet gelatine 07 cushioning blow dry gel to create an amazing silky blowout with added volume.
For frizz control and added texture, I finished with outshine 01 anti-frizz polishing milk and a touch of fashion waves 07 sea salt spray. Miranda loves her hair to have texture so this combination gives her that rock-and-roll look that she craves!

The debut of Madden NFL's new suite of career modes—called "Connected Careers"—seemed to be drowned out by the noise of E3 and by the announcement that same day of the game's new real-time physics engine. That's a gameplay enhancement gamers could easily understand. Connected Careers wasn't so easily reduced, and as such, its debut sounded like Madden was getting rid of some bread-and-butter game modes.

14th December 2010
A Colorado sheriff's department mistakenly exposed a sensitive database
that contained names, addresses and other details on about 200,000
people, including confidential drug informants.
Thousands of pages of confidential information collected by the Mesa
County Sheriff's Department were vulnerable from April until November
24, when someone tipped authorities, according to the Associated Press.
A system administrator moved the database to what was believed to be a
secure server, a county spokeswoman told the news service. It was first
accessed by an outside computer on October 30. Other computers continued
to access it over the next 25 days.

Windells is a year-round action sports camp based in Brightwood, Ore., about 45 minutes from Portland. The camp hosts winter sessions for snowboarding and skiing, and summer sessions for skateboarding and BMX. Much like Woodward, pros are encouraged to come visit and ride with the campers, but Windells is a little more looser -- the pros are allowed to 360 off of the camper's cabins.
In the above video, Portland area BMXers Shawn McIntosh and Paul Cvikevich session Windells concrete. And with them is special guest Bruce Crisman, who recently joined the 2hip team and seems to be emerging back onto the BMX scene. Video by Ben Hucke.

Print 05 & Converting 05 -- Show Offers Total Package
August 2005The Mailing & Fulfillment Center originated in 2003 at GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO, with 33 exhibitors occupying 11,000 square feet of exhibit space. The center has nearly doubled in size every year since. Exhibitors here will display their latest equipment and technology solutions geared toward print professionals seeking diversification in their company's service offering.
"Printers have much of the infrastructure already in place to be able to offer this service, with the addition of some specific equipment and expertise," adds Delmontagne. "Many are already embracing mailing services as a way of adding value for their customers who create direct mail programs."
Package printing specialists who want to adopt the latest print production workflows, as well as commercial printers diversifying into folding carton, label and other converting businesses, will both find valuable sessions among the 80-plus educational seminars being presented.
Industry observers have been remarking on the convergence of printing and converting technologies for more than a decade, and this convergence underlies such integrated, comprehensive trade exhibitions as PRINT 05 & CONVERTING 05.
The trade show will feature more than 200 companies displaying equipment and other products designed for folding carton converting, label printing, flexible packaging and other packaging applications. These exhibits will occupy about 425,000 net square feet.
Hot New Market
A related possible growth market for commercial printers will be highlighted in a special exhibit focused on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and related technologies. Attendees will see the latest in this cutting-edge technology, including printed antennas, smart tags, printed batteries and circuits, differing radio frequencies and antenna designs, and other uses and applications for RFID.
RFID is emerging as a growth avenue for printers because familiar commercial printing processes can easily be adapted to handle the right combinations of coatings and substrates, and because America's leading retailers and other large organizations are actively promoting RFID.
As of presstime, GASC officials were expecting eight exhibitors in this special area devoted to vendors of RFID-related products—inks, substrates, presses, software and the like for producing RFID tags and labels in a variety of forms and formats. GASC has recognized that RFID is a potentially lucrative and profitable diversification option for commercial printers, especially those with previous or existing tag and label production expertise.
Complete information about exhibits, seminars, special events and other features of PRINT 05 & CONVERTING 05, including the versatile "Attendee Assistant" planning tool, are available at www.print05.com. Online hotel reservations and online registration are also available. Visitors are urged to make arrangements early. Hotel space is expected to be limited.
Hall of Famers To be Honored
The Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame will welcome four new members during the annual Gold Ink Awards and Hall of Fame Banquet held during PRINT 05 & CONVERTING 05 Monday evening, September 12. Joining the distinguished ranks of the men and women who have been a leading force for their own companies, as well as the industry at large, are:
* Thomas Engdahl, CEO, Brown Printing, Waseca, MN;
* Roy Grossman, CEO, Sandy Alexander, Clifton, NJ;
* Michael Marcian Sr., president, Corporate Press, Landover, MD; and
* Donald Samuels, managing partner, Pictorial Offset, Carlstadt, NJ.
A special Printing Industry Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award will also be presented to Regis J. Delmontagne, long-time president of both NPES The Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies and the Graphic Arts Show Co.
Four print production executives will also be honored by PrintMedia, Printing Impressions' sister publication. They are: Dora Braschi Cardinale, executive vice president of print production, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia; Anthony Crouch, director of design and production, University of California Press; Ken Lantz, senior vice president and director of print creative services, Foote Cone & Belding New York; and Barry Meinerth, senior vice president, production and fulfillment, Time Inc.
Advance registration for the gala event is required. For more information on attending, call Mike Cooper at (215) 238-5434 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Nadine and Charlie Music Video Competition The music group Nadine and Charlie would like to see some brickfilms made to go along with some of their tracks, and they're putting up 300 quid to help inspire people to do it. This contest is very simple: Pick a Nadine and Charlie tune (see below) and animate a brickfilm to go with it. Nadine and Charlie will choose their three favorite videos and award the directors with prize money. There are 7 tracks available for you to animate. You can find them in downloadable form here. The top 7 tracks in this list are downloadable: -Basic Instinct I recommend you download all seven of them and give them a good listen before deciding which one to use. I also recommend that you listen to them because they're pretty cool. Nadine and Charlie will award the following prizes, based entirely on what they decide to be their favorites 200 British Pounds for first place How much is a Pound? At the time of this posting, 1 British Pound = ~$1.72 US, which puts first place at about $345 US. Your video must be a brickfilm in the classic sense of the term. That means it needs to be stopmotion animation and you need to be animating LEGO, Mega-bloks, et al. Don't put any titles or credits during the music. You should certainly include titles and/or credits, but put them before the music starts or after it ends. By submitting an entry in this contest, you are giving Nadine and Charlie the rights to use and distribute your film to promote the band. It's very important that you understand this before starting on a video. As usual, cooperative efforts are welcome and encouraged. Just make sure prize distribution between you is agreed upon ahead of time in case you win anything. Also as usual, you may use absolutely no material for which you do not have distribution rights. This includes recognizable trademarks, so if you end up with LEGO logos that are visible, you need to blur them out before submitting your video. The "no-copyright rule," as it's come to be called, should be much easier to observe in this contest since there's no need for music or sound effects. The due date for this contest will be Sunday March 12th. Your film must be finished, uploaded, and downloadable by the end of that day (by California reckoning). To submit your entry to the contest: -Upload your finished film somewhere it can be downloaded with relative ease. As usual, an ftp directory will be provided for people who need it. -Send an e-mail to email@example.com containing the following information: The names of all participating directors; the brickfilms forum names of all participating directors; a link to the download location of your film; and a statement saying "Dear Nadine and Charlie, I understand that by submitting this film to this contest I am sharing with you its distribution rights should you decide you would like to use it in the promotion of your band." ——————————– Here are lyrics to the songs: |

Mm "Signs of Life" maybe. The band gets the videos but I have no right to distribute the finished work? Do I need to get their approval first? |
January 4, 2006 at 6:46 pm #155787 | |
Stefan |
Good question, PE. Do we get the right to distribute the work (at least by putting it online on our homepage, but possibly also on a DVD with a collection of our work)? Stefan. |
January 4, 2006 at 6:48 pm #155789 | |
RevMen |
My understanding is that the rights will be shared. I will clarify this with the band, though. |
January 4, 2006 at 6:53 pm #155791 | |
Stefan |
Of course, the text above doesn't say "exclusive", so it'll be nonexclusive (though I'd be happier if the word "nonexclusive" was in that sentence, for clarity). However, do we get the nonexclusive right to distribute the song along with the video, which is quite something else. Stefan. |
January 4, 2006 at 7:08 pm #155798 | |
RevMen |
The way I interpret this, you'll be able to use your film in any way that doesn't include making a profit. This seems perfectly fair to me. I have a question for the community on this contest: Would anyone take objection to me entering it? It's true that I have a head start on you guys by about 2 days. It's also true that I've helped organize it, but the judging is completely up to Nadine and Charlie. |

hey that sounds cool. WoW. a real big comp you got there but im not going to enter. Oh yeah, id love to but i just CANT do it. The time it would take and i probably wouldn't fit in enough animation. Oh well. I must give myself time before i enter any competition really. Im still quite a n00b…i'll have to improve my anmation and writing. oh well! sammy O'feelgood |
January 4, 2006 at 7:35 pm #155812 | |
RevMen |
I don't think so. I've listened to all 7 of them and don't recall hearing any. edit: Sammy, I would urge you to consider making a film for this. Making a music video is a great way to get started in brickfilming. You don't have to worry about voices, sound effects, or choosing music, and the exact length of your film is already decided for you. |

The world changed a little bit last week when the Brits foiled the latest terrorist plot. One side effect is that electronics can't be taken on many flights, and they likely won't be for a while. That means that people who travel with laptops may now have to check their favorite tools. It takes some preparation to do that safely. Here are a few tips to deal with that situation and to make sure that your laptop survives the baggage hold.
There will obviously be lots of tips out there these days to deal with this situation. These are just a few to get you started.

American Airlines said Wednesday it will cut domestic flight capacity by up to 12 percent and start charging $15 for the first checked bag to deal with economic conditions. Meanwhile, Alaska Airlines told its pilots not to expect a "solid raise" in the face of rising fuel costs. The pilots set up an informational picket line Tuesday in Seattle.
The government has entered closed-door discussions aimed at helping cellphone customers avoid expensive termination fees, which often are $175 or more for bowing out of a service contract early. Under a proposal before the Federal Communications Commission, such fees would be capped and penalties lifted within a specified time frame.
If the state's legislature approves, operation of the Pennsylvania Turnpike for the next 75 years will be turned over to a group led by Citigroup and Spanish toll-road operator Abertis Infraestructuras, which submitted the winning $12.8 billion bid earlier this week.
In a White House policy change announced Wednesday, Cuban-Americans will be allowed to send mobile phones to family members in Cuba.

I don't know, but I've simply flavored rice pudding with a little rum and orange zest, then brulee'd the top (like creme brulee.) That was pretty delicious. Just another spin on your idea.
Simple flambé process in this case is to serve the puss, heat the spirits table side, light, and pour in a slow drizzle over the dessert in front of guests.
Practice is a good idea. Very easy once you get the knack.
For added effect, pour with one hand about two feet above the dish while sprinkling cinnamon powder onto the flame. Cinnamon, behind wood bark. Burns and sparkles - thanks to Commanders Palace for teaching me this trick.
Well played.

Lucas Promises Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011
Re:Sorry, but many of us disagree (420 comments)
I agree that much of the acting in the prequel was bad; Jake Lloyd as kid Anikan and Natalie Portman as Padmé stuck out as the worst. I do think though that the reason for the vanilla dialog was to make it easier to translate and dub the movie for international audiences. The more colorful dialog from Harrison Ford in the original series probably was somewhat lost in translation. The romance in the second film between Anikan and Padmé just came off as cliché. There were also large plot holes. With the advanced technology of Star Wars, one would think that the doctors would have detected that Padmé was pregnant with twins a lot sooner than when she went into labor. Also, the 'She died of a broken heart' line was just way too corny.

Being a photographer, you will regularly face the issue of sending multiple images/files at once. There are many options for digital file transfer out there like getting your own FTP, sending multiple emails, or fedex'ing digital drives, but I have a easy solution that will work for most: YouSendIt.com
Sending a file using YouSendIt.com is easy:
- You start by creating a free account with them. Only takes a few seconds.
- You either login to their website or download their MAC/PC compatible software (see screen shot above).
- You enter the recipient(s), choose your subject line, chose the file(s) you want to send up to 100 megabytes and click send
- Your file is then uploaded to yousendit.com's server (if you chose multiple files or a folder, which is only available using a paid account, they are zipped and then uploaded unless you choose otherwise)
- Download links are sent to you (the sender) and your recipient list via their regular email inboxes. At that point they have 14 days to just click the link from that email and download the file to their computer (up to 100 times each file). It's very easy!
Want to be able to send files larger than 100 megs (up to 2 gigs) or multiple files or folders at once? That will cost you a monthly membership fee. You can see the various paid account options and services [CLICK] HERE. I personally use the "PRO" account option for $9.99/month.
I like yousendit.com because it is quick and easy and does not put additional strain on my website server, especially when sending clients huge files.

Was Dr. Laura's Interracial Love Advice Racist?
But the rest of her advice...well, we can't really call it advice, can we? Dr. Laura gets paid to help people with their relationship problems, and she absolutely did not do her job with this caller. She ignored the problem and instead made it all about her issues. So, not only did she come off as racist, but she also came off as selfish and incompetent.
On Wednesday, Dr. Laura kicked off her show with an apology: "Yesterday, I did the wrong thing. I didn't intend to hurt people, but I did. And that makes it the wrong thing to have done. I was attempting to make a philosophical point, and I articulated the N-word all the way out—more than one time. And that was wrong. I'll say it again—that was wrong."
What do you think? Is Dr. Laura racist? Was her advice helpful or hurtful? And does her apology seem genuine, or is she just trying to save her show?

There was an explosion at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant in Japan after an earthquake and tsunami rocked the area.
Three years have passed, what event is it having on the world scene today.
70 sailors from the carrier Ronald Reagan are suing Tokio Electric Power Company claiming they have become ill while performing relief efforts in the region.
There are also report of mutated sealife being found throughout the pacific ocean region.
Can all of this be contributed to the Fukushima nuclear diaster? LETS TALK
Fukushima for the Masses
What's the latest with Fukushima, and what does it even really mean for our future? How do suppressed inventions curb free market technology? Also a special message to Hollywood's Russell Brand, a former classmate of Philip's, and how his mainstream message is decieving and harmful.
Ebola & Fukushima: The Human Shakedown! - The LanceScurv Show
The Ebola virus and the Fukushima Nuclear disaster, two seemingly unrelated and unfortunate things are actually two sides of the same coin whose purpose is to rob and steal the free will of those who operate on a higher frequency.
So you think this sounds like a plot from a common science fiction flick that Hollywood turns out in a dime a dozen fashion?
Well think again.
Today we will hear a thought provoking and informative word from a man to whom I have the utmost respect for not only because of his oratory skills and ability to teach concepts that most could not even understand, but because of his genuine sincerity and concern to want to elevate those around him into a higher plane of existence.
It's quite rare to hear a man speak as powerfully as my Brother Dave LA, so when the opportunity to absorb his expressions arrive, all things must halt because I understand the value of what he shares.
That being said, Brother Dave will connect those two headline grabbers and cause you to see why they are related and give you the remedies to offset any scenario that the network news rather you cringe ineffectively in fear from.
This conversation is about empowerment and information that you surely wouldn't receive if you depended solely on the mainstream media to take you mentally and spiritually where you needed to go.
Free flowing dialogues like this are truly rare so I hope that you enjoy it and share your thoughts, opinions and viewpoints in the comment section so we can continue this particular flow and grow in preparedness and wisdom.
God bless you and thank you so much for taking the time to listen, you are much appreciated.

Fukushima Daiichi The Destruction of the BioSphere
in Spirituality
The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth, a closed system (apart from solar and cosmic radiation and heat from the interior of the Earth), and largely self-regulating.[1] By the most general biophysiological definition, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The Fukushima disaster threatens all life on our planet.

Fukushima Update: Action Steps and Solutions
in Health
An unprecedented threat will unfold over the next 18 months starting with November, 2013. This threat has all the makings of a perfect storm, potentially leading to catastrophic mayhem across the entire hemisphere. This threat concerns the precarious moving of vast amounts of damaged radioactive material from the nuclear power plant at Fukushima.
Dr. John Apsley will be with us again to update us on the latest radiation exposure dangers and to reveal the secrecy rules to bar journalists from reporting the latest radiation threats coming from Fukushima. Dr. Apsley will outline the extent to which the Japanese Government is now foisting radioactive risk upon its citizens and the rest of the world by utilizing these secrecy laws. He also covers with newly released FOIA documents the egregious under-reporting of fallout which hit the west coast of North America shortly after the Fukushima earthquake of March 2011.
John Apsley is a physician, researcher, author and publisher. He will be discussing his new series of books entitled, The Regeneration Effect and Overcoming Advanced Cancer; Curing verses Controlling Cancer. He has degrees in Medicine, Chiropractic and Nutrition and is board certified in Acupuncture and Meridian Therapy, Spinal Disability Evaluator and Insurance Claims Reviewer.

Join us in the discussion:
Our Guest Rev. Askala Gem Morrison addresses the nuclear fallout from Japan's damaged Fukushima Nuclear Plant and how it affects us all.
Rev. Askala Gem Morrison has been a beacon of light in the Caribbean Community in the Tri-state area of New York/New Jersey/Connecticut where for more than 20 years she educated individuals and her radio show audience on the merits of natural holistic and traditional remedies. She has also made presentations to the public at health forums including the Marcus Garvey Holistic Center in Brooklyn. She has helped to make many aware of the harm of pollution in the air and water that affects us directly and the foods we eat, as well as possible harm from pharmaceutical drugs. She has guided many to good health.
Rev. Askala feels that it is not only Japan and the West Coast that are affected, because all the oceans are connected – and all the skies are one. The entire planet is in peril. However, Rev. Askala tells us there is hope.
Fukushima, Footbull, and the Everloving Kanye

On tonight's episode, we are going to address some of the craziness popping about on the news. For example, Jonathan Martin has been claiming that fellow Dolphins player Richie Incognito had been bullying him through text messages, leaving threatening and harassing phone calls, and other stuff. Everyone else is saying Martin's just a big wuss bunny. We'll also touch upon Kanye West's ridiculous self-confidence and how important it is that the world realizes what a genius he is. We'll talk about Fukushima, we'll talk about Stupid White Suburbanite Women, and other stuff.

The meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is nearing its third anniversary and the disaster and radiation are still being felt around the globe, most recently in the North American west coast where the hit is being felt by Canadians, Mexicans and US citizens alike.
It is believed that an area of ocean as far as ten miles distant from the nuclear power plant was contaminated by the disaster in March of 2011. With ocean tides and sea life which is by no means confined to only miles within the ocean, that contamination was easily spread. It presents its most dangerous form in radioactive seafood and fish, which can be caught nearly anywhere and brought to the table in various countries. Surprisingly, seafood captured on the Pacific coast may be far more likely to contain radionuclides from the disaster than seafood from the Sea of Okhotsky, which is actually much closer to Japan. The world ocean currents are said to be responsible for this trend.

Picturesque Petra
Fabled hiding place of the Holy Grail in the Indiana Jones epic 'The Last Crusade', there is plenty to excite the imagination in this ancient Jordanian city. Archaeology rules in Petra, so if it's old that you like, you'll find it here and then some – this city was established around the sixth century BCE on the slope of Mount Hor.
Don your dishdasha (if only for the novelty of asking friends: 'Hey, do you like my dishdasha?') and go biblical with a donkey ride through theSiq. Its massive rock crevices dotted with ancient cave dwellings lead to the famous Treasury Building, which appears dramatically as you round the bend. Petra has long been home to Bedouin tribes, but was hidden from the rest of the world until its rediscovery by a Swiss explorer in 1812. His jaw would have dropped at the sight – and 200 years on, it will have the same effect on yours.
Petra's Top 10
10. The Ad-Deir Monastery Reached by a flight of 800 rock-cut steps, this enormous temple is even larger than the Treasury, although not quite as intricate. |
5. Nymphaeum This huge fountain of flowing water in the middle of the desert is dedicated to water nymphs. See if you can spot one… |
9. The Colonnaded Street A fantastic Roman ruin marking the main processional route for ceremonies. |
4. Qasr al Bint (Palace of the Pharaoh's Daughter) Temple Built from stone, probably to worship Dushara, a Nabataean God. |
8. Roman Theatre Originally built by the Nabataeans, but enlarged into a 7,000-seat amphitheatre by the Romans. 1,500 years later, performances are set to return – which is a relief to the actors who have had to wait on a lot of tables! |
3. The Place of High Sacrifice and the Tombs of Wadi Farasa The steep walk is challenging (two to three hours, depending on the path taken), but so worth it. |
7. Byzantine Church Newly excavated, the intricate mosaic floors are still intact. |
2. The Siq Forms the mile-long creviced, narrow gorge leading to the city of Petra. You can walk or catch a donkey. |
6. Petra Archaeological Museum The museum showcases a small number of the artefacts found on the site. |
1. The Treasury (Khazneh) Truly iconic, this monumental royal tomb carved in rose-coloured rock is unforgettable. |

Petra Events
Petra Moon hosts an annual pilgrimage to Wadi Rum for the Perseids Meteor Shower in mid-August.
The three-week Amman Summer Festival was launched in1981 by Queen Noor and now includes events at many centres throughout Jordan in late July and early August.
Distant Heat in July is an all-night rave in the Wadi Rum desert. Perfect setting, really, since there's no one around to complain when it gets too loud!
The New Year's Eve Bash in Wadi Rum features Bedouin musicians, folklore show, dancing around the fire and fireworks, much feasting and riding of desert beasts.
When To Go
March to May is the best time for a visit. The temperatures are warm and the wildflowers are in bloom.
It can be surprisingly cold in winter and snow sometimes falls on Petra. At night, desert temperatures drop very low even in summer.
Ramadan, around November, is not great for visitors as eating or drinking in public during the holy time is forbidden, and most stores are closed.
Getting Around
Getting to Petra from Amman can be tricky. Hiring a taxi is an option and should only cost around 50 dinar.
You could hire a car, but it is surprisingly difficult to get your hands on a road map.
Once there, walking or riding a donkey or horse are good options!

Review: 'Ted' Is Just Damn Funny, Inspires Lots of Punny Headlines
Movie Reviews By Luke Mullen on June 29, 2012 | Be the First To CommentSeth MacFarlane is one of those hit-or-miss type guys who seems to have been missing a lot more than hitting lately. Though his big TV show, Family Guy, started off well, the most recent seasons have succumbed to format fatigue. The show's penchant for cutting away to complete non sequiturs has worn out its welcome and, even worse, it's committed the cardinal sin of comedy – it's just not funny anymore. Add to that his attempts to recapture the original Family Guy magic with shows like American Dad and its spin-off The Cleveland Show, and it would be easy to say that MacFarlane is kind of stuck in a rut. So why not try a feature film? MacFarlane's predominantly a TV guy, and one who's been down on his laughs recently so, despite its hilarious trailers, the odds seemed to be stacked against his new film Ted. In case you happened to have missed the aforementioned hilarious trailers, Ted is a movie about a young boy who wishes for his teddy bear to come to life. John Bennett is not exactly the most popular kid on the block. Even the little Jewish kid who gets his ass kicked every day hates John Bennett. The poor kid just doesn't have any friends. So when his parents give him a big stuffed teddy bear for Christmas, he names it Ted and wishes that Ted could come to life and be his best friend forever.

For the past eight years, PIAC has been involved as a participant and critic of the process of electricity restructuring in Ontario. Our participation included representation of a coalition of small volume residential consumers, the Vulnerable Energy Consumers Coalition (VECC) in proceedings before the Ontario Energy Board, as well as submissions to various parliamentary committees and deliberative bodies and research and advocacy concerning the impacts of proposed reforms.
From the start, the Ontario process seemed to be driven more by assumptions and opinion than by reality and common sense. There was considerable policy pressure for a new way of doing things. In 1995, the new provincial Progressive Conservative government was confronted by the task of dealing with a vertically integrated electricity monopoly, which had accumulated considerable debt arising from questionable nuclear plant development. This was in addition to patterns of excessive maintenance and operating costs possibly arising from years of ineffective operational scrutiny. Ontario Hydro was not subject to the control of the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), the independent regulatory authority, and was pretty much at liberty to disregard the OEB whenever it made findings on different aspects of Ontario Hydro's generation and transmission policies and rates referred to it by the Minister.
The MacDonald Commission, appointed by the new government in 1995 to study competition in Ontario's electricity system, released its report in May 1996. The report gave the government confidence it could fundamentally change the system of monopoly generation and transmission such that electricity could be supplied more efficiently to all customers in a competitive framework, and it could recover Hydro's stranded debts for generation assets no longer useful (write-offs in 1997 totaled over 7 billion and most expected that sum would double, if not triple). The Commission's base case assumptions about a competitive electricity market assured the government that it could lower wholesale electricity prices, eliminate the stranded debt and get revenue equivalent to tax from the new entities. This would be done through a strategy that unbundled Ontario Hydro's functional components and introduced competition into the generation market through open access and partial privatization.
The next year, the government released a white paper that confirmed the government's intention to open up Ontario's electricity market to subject Ontario Hydro to the "discipline of the marketplace". The White Paper of 1997 proposed the dismantling of Ontario Hydro into generation and transmission companies. It also set out that the monopoly elements of the electricity system in transmission and distribution would be regulated by the OEB with an opportunity for local distribution companies to earn a market-based rate of return. Creating a competitive supply market would encourage private investment in generation. An Independent Market Operator (IMO) would attend to the safety and security matters of electricity exchange and to dispatch power.
The Energy Competition Act, enacted late in 1998, put in place the necessary statutory reforms to administer the new regime. A Market Design Committee, reporting in 1999, gave detailed recommendations setting out requirements for market participants, appropriate accounting and governance procedures for the IMO as well as potential market power mitigation. The OEB, in turn, developed processes and procedures to regulate, for the first time, the transmission and distribution monopoly elements for the new entity. The OEB also devised rules for the licensing of participating retail marketers and the system policies associated with the maintenance of the default supply of electricity. Distribution and transmission rates were set in accordance with standard regulatory practice. Finally, Ontario Power Generation (OPG), the new generation company of the old Ontario Hydro, was made subject to a market power minimization agreement that mandated the devolution of 65% of its generation assets to private sources over a ten-year period. OPG would also have to rebate to customers revenue from prices in excess of 3.8cents per kilowatt-hour.
When the market for electricity trading finally opened (after several delays) in May 2002, the government believed that the design of the market would cause the price offered by the generational components of the system (OPG and private power) to be responsive to the demands of customers. The demands of end-users would, in turn, be shaped by the resourcefulness of the retailers in offering choice in terms of both product and commodity price. High demand would spur entry into the generation sector by private investors. Higher prices, brought about by such periods of high demand, would provoke price responsiveness by end-users and cause a lessening of demand and a reduction in price.
That was the theory. It wasn't really a plan of deregulation, since its operation required much more regulation than before. The privatization of generation assets was intended to prevent OPG from using its market dominance to eliminate competition. Local municipal distribution companies and the distribution arm of Hydro ONE were now given an opportunity to earn three or four times what they previously earned under the old regime. Significant costs were incurred to establish and to operate the new regime. New charges, such as that to pay off Hydro debt, appeared on customer bills. The extension of competition to retailing meant a proliferation of questionable and outright fraudulent marketing practices that misrepresented both prices and processes to irritated residential consumers. Sleepy follow-up by the government and regulators made problems worse.
But the coup de grace for the plan was the emergence of evidence that there were shortages of supply. The IMO's Market Surveillance Report of October 2002 concluded:
"There is a serious shortage of generation capacity to meet Ontario's growing demand for electricity. If steps are not taken to address this situation, Ontario could face even more serious reliability problems next summer, leading to the possibility of supply interruptions and continued upward pressure on prices during periods of peak demand."
By the time of its November 11 announcement, the government was facing a triple whammy:
The public reaction to these events was, in no small measure, ignited by the government's own overly-rosy predictions of the benefits of competition, which were likely due in part to the government's reliance on the views of private industry proponents who had something to gain from restructuring. As well, there seemed to be a built-in mindset that somehow the infusion of entrepreneurial ambition into the operation of the electricity system would bring certain benefits for everyone. The sad sack nuclear program of Ontario Hydro certainly gave credence to the view that a dramatic change was needed. The fact that the price of electricity was almost 40% higher in the states that border on Ontario was no check on the dreams of competition theorists and would-be utility saviours.
The current government's solution is a little like putting a finger in a hole in the dike. Obviously, if demand does not abate and/or new supply is not developed, the taxpayer is going to be heavily subsidizing electricity ratepayers. The government must act swiftly to develop new supply and to closely monitor the electricity spot market to prevent California-style generator profiteering, now that there is a disconnect between supply and demand. Long-overdue requirements for a certain percentage of renewable energy in any distribution customer's package would greatly assist alternative energy producers. Cost- effective savings mechanisms for consumers are needed. These include the wider application of interval meters to reward customers for adjusting their electricity use so as to reduce peak demand. While it is remarkable that the elaborate electricity restructuring plan should be jettisoned so quickly, it is not the time to re-fight old battles. Ontario's electricity customers want understandable measures and results, however they are to be delivered.

A Knitting Novella
Stanley's life took a left turn at a knitting shop and hit a dead end. The closest thing he's had to a relationship breaks things off to date a "nice boy," and none of the pretty young things in Boulder's limited gay scene do it for Stanley. He needs to reevaluate whether working as a floor designer for a series of craft stores is really where he wants to be.

Despite being to Hyderabad before, I haven't seen much of the city yet. The last time I was here, was for a two-day workshop where I hardly had enough time.
Although from what people have told me, I have mentally travelled across the city. Plus, I have tried Hyderabadi biryani and I love the chai here. I really like the feel of being in Hyderabad, I have met a few people and really love how friendly they are.We went to the Sailing Annexe near the Husain Sagar lake, I really liked the place and the view.
Life's a travelling show
We have a house in France but we're mostly touring around the world with the group. We are like nomads. We make our stages, props, costumes and everything connected to what we need for the plays. Since we travel so much, life is pretty hectic on the roads. We have a rule that our children have to be educated. So as part of our bandwagon, we have a school on the bus where the kids study. It's a tough life, because we have money issues, especially since the Government doesn't help us financially.
Tour across India
When we came to India on a national tour, we went to Mumbai and saw a couple of plays like Samuel Beckett's " Waiting for Godot". In fact we are actually closely connected to the Kapoor Family. Shammi Kapoor's wife, who is English, has seen us perform. You can say that she helped us get our India tour on the roads and that's how we got connected to Prithvi Theatre.
We have also been to Kerala, where we really liked the Kathakali dance; we've been to Thiruvanthapuram, Delhi, Bangalore and Bhoopal. This is the first time I have come with just my wife to Hyderabad. In fact, Mohammed Ali Baig and I are trying to get our show, "Indian Tempest" to Hyderabad next year.
First solo show
My father was big on theatre. He loved it so much that he incidentally passed away while delivering a monologue. So handling a show alone was not just about my first time without the entire group, but it was also like facing my fear.

There appears to be a certain stigma behind clinical trials. When introducing it to others, many people automatically think, "I would not like to be a 'human lab rat'or a 'professional guinea pig'."This assumption is outrageous and very stereotypical.
If you opened your medicine cabinets, all of those medications have gone through clinical trials and people volunteered to help put that medication on your shelf. Without clinical trials and people willing to participate in trying the new medication, we would have no new developments in medicine.
Before I get into the basics of what a clinical trial is and explain both the pros and cons, let's take a minute to remember that every drug started out as an unknown chemical compound that has undergone years of research until it was made available to others.
To begin, a clinical trial is a human research study designed to answer questions about new therapies for certain diseases. It begins as a chemical compound produced in a lab and then it is tested on animals. Slowly but surely, it moves on to being tested on humans. These studies are funded by pharmaceutical companies that want to observe the drug and make sure that it is safe to be put on the market.
There are different types of clinical trials, more specifically there are four different types of phases; Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.
Phase 1 studies are open to all healthy normal volunteers. By "normal"it means that the individual does not have the disease or disorder that the drug proposes to treat.
Phase 2 studies usually target the patient population for the indication that the drug proposes to treat. The main objective is to look at the safety of the drug and any signs of efficacy (whether the drug works) in this patient population. Basically, a Phase 1 trial determines the dose ranges of a particular drug and a Phase 2 trial determines whether the drug actually works within that dose range.
Phase 3 studies are pivotal studies in which the main objective is to determine whether the drug works in comparison to a placebo (sugar pill).
Lastly, Phase 4 studies are conducted after the drug is approved by the FDA, but labeling issues need to be addressed.
There are potential benefits and risks associated with participating in any trial. As a volunteer you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time during the study.
You should always do your part as an active participant and gather as much information about the trial. It is also beneficial to ensure that all questions are answered by the study doctor and staff before starting the trial.
The participant is compensated for travel as well as for being a participant in the study.
At Breakthrough Clinical Trials, we also run a Parkinson's support group.
Breakthrough Clinical Trials has a clinical trial available. The clinical trial is a Phase 4 study. The objective of this study is to determine whether 1mg/day of Rasagiline is more effective than a placebo in improving cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease – cognition after 24 weeks of treatment.
The 3 main components are (1) documentation of cognitive decline compared with premorbid abilities; (2) documentation of impairment on neuropsychological testing; and (3) lack of significant functional impairment that would make the patient more appropriate for a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease Dementia (PDD). The study targets non-demented men or women 45 through 80 years of age with idiopathic Parkinson's.
For more information about the study or general questions visit, Breakthrough Clinical Trials in the Wellness Village at ParkinsonsResource.org/spotlight/breakthrough-clinical-trials/ and upon entering your name and email address, you will be directed to them.
