The neck ache date: 5ft 8in actor Corey Feldman dwarfed by statuesque blonde during night out in Hollywood
Actor Corey Feldman was dwarfed by his statuesque blonde date on Tuesday night when he arrived at a West Hollywood nightclub with her towering over him.
At 5'8", the 41-year-old former child star isn't short by Hollywood standards but the mystery woman who he walked hand-in-hand with into Bootsy Bellows Supper Club was head and shoulders above the Lost Boys star.
Little and large: Corey Feldman was towered over by his blonde date when they arrived at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood on Wednesday
Looking like the cat who got the cream, Feldman smiled smugly as the tall busty beauty walked beside him in a little black dress with such a plunging neckline that her leopard print and red ribbon bra were seen underneath. Just like Dorothy in Oz, she topped off the sexy ensemble with sky high ruby slippers.
Feldman could have easily been mistaken for another notorious ladies man and 80s star, Charlie Sheen, as he wore a black trilby hat with a silk scarf wrapped around it, a black and white detailed shirt and black trousers with a fancy floral details.
Added to the somewhat outlandish outfit were a pair of dark sunglasses - even though it was the dead of night - and a cheeky grin.
Thumbs up: Corey looked very pleased with his hot date despite the height difference
The little and large couple were headed out for a night on the town to the swanky nightclub Bootsy Bellows that is co-owned by Scream actor David Arquette.
The celebrity hotspot on the Sunset Strip is a favuorite
with VIP partying stars such as Katy Perry and Leonard DiCaprio, who
lounge on the pink couches and watch burlesque dancers and life-sized
puppets perform in the funky club.
Former Surreal Life star Feldman appears be to enjoying the single life after divorcing second wife, Susie Sprague, in 2009 following a seven year marriage that was officiated by M.C. Hammer on the reality show.
The couple have a eight-year-old son, Zen, who they got embroiled into a bitter custody battle over following their tumultuous split. Feldman was also married to actress Vanessa Marcil from 1989 until 1993.
Hollywood bachelor: Twice divorced Feldman has been divorced since 2009 and seems happy to play the field
As a child star, the California native was a special friend of Michael Jackson, and he was often controversially seen by the side of the King Of Pop and was a regular at Neverland ranch before the friendship soon turned sour.
'He did real damage in my overall life. I was a 12-year-old boy who was hurt by his family and ignored by people at school,' Feldman told a Los Angeles court during Jakson's child molestation trial. 'The biggest thing that Michael's done to children is befriending the ones that are in need and then abandoning them.'
After becoming a teenage heart throb in the 1980s in The Goonies, The Lost Boys and Stand By Me, alongside tragic star River Phoenix, Corey's career hit the rocks in adulthood.
Best friends: Feldman (right) starred in the 1987 vampire hit The Lost Boys with Corey Haim, who died in 2010
He went on launch a reality show called The Two Coreys on A&E
with best friend and License To Drive co-star, Corey Haim, who ultimately succumbed to drug addiction and died prematurely from related health
problems in 2010.
Following a few bumpy years out of the spotlight struggling to find work, Feldman recently revived his role of Edgar Frog in two Lost Boys spin-off movies and appeared in Six Degrees of Hell and The Zombie King last year.
He will soon be sharing all the secrets of the dark past he has put behind him that includes being emancipated from his family at 15, in an upcoming biography called Coreyography, which will be released in October.

Green house is no more.
Well, there is pretty much nothing left of my green house. We had some pretty strong winds.
Looks like my green house coconut is going to face winter with out all the added heat. Did get some damage and lost a frond which isn't good. It had barely any fronds to begin winter with after the infection. The new fronds still haven't started to regain size either so this can be interesting. Especially since I put it near a south facing wall with some protection from rain and this winter is supposed to be mild. Can't expect much from a sickly coco though.
- US_Marine
I would definitely try to put up a temporary structure. I would use some pvc and leave it open till they call for bad weather. A sick coco probably won't make it other wise.
lol the wind was crazy huh? And the green house was just an easy up. Wasn't meant to last even though I would like it to. The UV rays weakend the material and the wind just ripped it to pieces.
Heres the coco, coco # 2:
As you can see its not in the best condition. But thats pretty much how it looked and how much growth it had this summer. All that stunted growth... But for the most part the fronds are still ok. The soil did get soaked. But it should be alright anyway. I did plant it in a fast draining sandy mix for that reason. I didnt really expect this one to be alive this long. But its chances of survival isn't good at all if those fronds dont start returning to normal even if the temps were warm. But I won't let it freeze.
Heres how everything else is doing:
coco # 1
This guy really never gave me problems until I bought the one above.It ended up getting infected as well. I stopped most of it, but I guess I havn't stopped it all the way. I think it still needs to be sprayed again but I'll have to wait until warmer weather. It does look ratty but by this time next year it should make a good recovery. It does have a pretty bad infestation of palm aphids. I can't seem to get rid of them! lol. Soapy water doesnt kill them either. Other than that it is still growng, and I am amazed how beautiful that one frond is. Its such a dark green, I've never seen a Golden Malayan with dark fronds like that, well from a frond that was outside in full sun. All the newer ones and a few of the older ones were starting to darken up before being infected. Now they have died back and lightend/ yellowed a bit.
Almost time. lol
- US_Marine
Marine we got some of those winds too but nothing like yall. We are heading into round #2 of windstorm 2012.
@ chadec- Sorry man, I didnt see your post until now. But yeah that could work. Thought about it a bunch of times. What I like about that idea is its pretty easy to set up and take down and you can make it a big as you want.
@ earthworm73- Yeah it was crazy over here! I thought there would still be a large amount of leaves on the trees passed December,but for the most part the wind and rain took care of that. lol Hopefully round 2 for you guys won't be bad.
@ jimhardy- Thats another good idea. How do those stand against strong winds? And do you have experience on making taller and wider ones?
@ ericthehurdler- You'd think.But I really havn't tried it yet. But I must ask myself, what will I do when it gets too big? lol. Eventually it will get big.And idk how you would protect it then. Just looking around at the washy's, cidp's, queens etc I can already tell it will be a challenge to protect a mature tree.Just imagine trying to protect one of them in winter.. Thats why I am rather glad I have a Golden Malayan, at least it will only get about 60ft, instead of 100ft like a tall.lol But I really want to find a fiji dwarf. Its supposed to be a true dwarf and would be perfect. I just can't find any.

Little Russian March (from Symphony No. 2)

- Ensemble:
- Series:
Little Russian March (from Symphony No. 2) composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). Arranged by Richard Meyer. Orchestra. Masterworks; SmartMusic; String Orchestra. Highland String Explorer. Form: March. Masterwork Arrangement; Romantic. Grade 2. Conductor Score & Parts. 36 pages. Published by Highland/Etling (AP.24941).
It was while visiting his sister in "Little Russia" (an area of Southern Russia known better as the Ukraine) that Tchaikovsky got the idea to compose a new symphony based on songs he heard from the inhabitants. The first performance of the new symphony (his second) took place in Moscow in 1873, and was revised eight years later. This march (the symphony's second movement) is actually the tragic wedding march from Tchaikovsky's discarded opera "Undine". Simple chromatics, hooked bowings, and staccato and marcato bow styles make this charming work an excellent teaching piece for young orchestras. Perfect for contests! This title is available in SmartMusic.

A media organization covering the media is reflexive enough, but how about adding documentary filmmakers to the mix? "It was journalists reporting on journalism, and we were working as journalists covering that," says Kate Novack, producer and writer of Page One: Inside the New York Times, a sprawling vérité group portrait of the Gray Lady's media desk. The paper's reporters and editors get the War Room treatment, with ornery vet David Carr playing Carville to Brian Stelter's fresh-faced Stephanopoulos, and inside baseball industry chatter presented as front-page news. "It was treating the New York Times newsroom as if we were reporting in the field," says director Andrew Rossi. "Our beat was them."
Not all documentaries realize the journalistic promise of the form, but the husband-wife team of Novack — a former media reporter for Time magazine — and Rossi (Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven) brought a warranted reportorial rigor to their subject. Though understandably eager to lift the skirts of the hallowed publication ("It's like a cross between a law firm and Congress," Rossi says of the 41st Street HQ), they also spotted a major breaking story and reported it out. When Rossi approached the paper in mid-2009, the institution was freshly reckoning with the industry-wide fallout from the world economic crisis, with magazines shuttering; dailies, like the Times, instituting mass layoffs; and readership flocking from print to online aggregators. Along with corporate dealings and industry analysis, the media desk was busy monitoring its own bid for survival.
"We wanted to cover, almost as a primary document, the New York Times in what we viewed as a historic moment — not just for the Times, but for journalism and the way the culture processes information," Novack says. "People were talking about the digital revolution leaving a lot of dead bodies on the side of the road," says Rossi, and with the merits of old-school outlets suddenly questioned in the era of Gawker and HuffPo, it was time to take stock of what actually goes on at an institution like the Times and to consider what would be lost if the old lion became extinct.
After six months of pitching everyone from staff writers to soon-to-be-former executive editor Bill Keller, Rossi was granted unprecedented access to the newsroom, where he witnessed everything from the rise of WikiLeaks and the launch of the iPad to Carr's spectacular mano-a-mano dressing-down of Vice magazine's Shane Smith and Stelter's continuity-confounding 90-pound weight loss. Once inside the newsroom, Rossi had to earn the trust of the professional skeptics who were his subjects. "I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I was almost openly hostile toward him," recalls Stelter. "I knew he was a journalist who was doing a job, but I didn't want to go out of my way to try to help him. I didn't want to be perceived as the kid who was auditioning for the movie." In the Times newsroom, "no one wants to be the guy walking around with the camera behind his back, following his every move," says Rossi. Not even camera-ready Carr, who convinced Rossi to ditch plans for a profile and expand the cast to Stelter, media editor Bruce Headlam, and Tim Arango, who was promoted to Baghdad bureau chief during the shoot.
Rossi, who kept things lean by acting as his own sound- and cameraman, took the classic vérité tack of simply showing up every day and letting the camera roll. "He would just sit there and kind of wait. A lot of the time, there was nothing interesting going on," recalls Stelter. But when something of note finally did happen, "we barely noticed he was there." Meanwhile, back at home, Novack did her own reporting, following leads and trends and messaging Rossi about whom to trail next. "I would compare the relationship that we had to his being a reporter in the field and me playing the role of an editor," she says. Novack and Rossi also conducted interviews throughout the shoot with outsiders like the New Yorker's David Remnick, new-media pundit Clay Shirky, and Gawker's Nick Denton, whose perspective "helped take us outside of the bubble."
There were three editors working simultaneous to the shoot, pulling out self-contained scenes like the aforementioned Vice smackdown and keeping track of the larger narrative for a film that kept expanding in ambition and scope — and didn't wrap shooting until after a version of the film debuted at Sundance in January. "I approached it almost as literary journalism," says Rossi. "Where it feels all right to go on some tangents before returning to a more conventional, heroic narrative," with the Times, as well as its reporters, playing protagonists fighting for their livelihoods.
"It's interesting as a documentary filmmaker to make a movie about journalists," says Novack. "So many of the issues that you're grappling with they're grappling with also," from questions over how best to gather and present information, to simply — or not so simply — following a story. Yet such self-reflexivity always runs the risk of becoming an irrelevant echo chamber, something that Headlam ruefully confronts in the film when trying to discern between "a real story and a media story." For Stelter and his colleagues, it's crucial that they not cover media, "as a navel-gazing exercise in what our friends in cocktail parties are doing. It has to be about citizens getting information."

appraiser talking to previous owner?
Is it common practice or even legal for an appraiser to talk with the previous owner of a property? The reason that I ask is that I purchased a property (my only) about a year ago and have recently been trying to refinance. Everything was seemingly going fine until the appraisal came back way short of what I was expecting (higher than what I owe, but not good). I have not seen the appraisal report yet, but from my conversation with the lender (who was upset with me), the appraiser talked with someone who he seemed to believe was the previous owner who told him that the well water on the place (this is in an area with wells but the property has no well yet) was "bad" - which is news to me and my paperwork from the seller (as well as just not correct at all).
My main problem would come in right here. The previous owner is far away, seemed to be hard to reach (especially in such a short period of time), and I doubt so dumb as to incriminate himself so flagrantly. The appraiser more likely talked to a local estranged (for good reason) relative of the seller (who was renting out the property illegally and did not want to stop -and didnÂt- simply because I owned the property) or the private/professional investor that holds the note. I would add here that the appraiser never talked to myself or toured the property - it is a sloped small acreage and they did take pictures from as far as I can gather 1 of the gates. The appraisal also was received by the lender 1 week late (customary?).
If the appraisal was legitimate and just lower than I expected, I can live with that (not that IÂd have much of a choice) - but I feel that something just isnÂt right here and IÂd appreciate any advice.
Have you spoken with the appraiser directly and/or asked for the report? You're depending on rumors to make sense of things and it's really not going to help much if you do that, only confuse the issue more. If the appraiser is from a reputable place/company then I'd stick with what he says and look at the report. After all, he doesn't have a personal interest in your place, but if he has been misled, should know about it, rather than be suspected of being under handed.
Am I missing something? You say there is no well but the appraiser says your well is bad? If that is true, I would find a way to prove there was no well.
If anything, nothing is selling which would account for your low appraisal. If the appraisal bothers you, pay someone yourself to do another one.
Thank you for the replies.
I have never spoken to the appraiser or even his "office" - I have left polite messages that request that he call me. He called on a Saturday (the Saturday after the Tuesday on which the appraisal was "due"), I returned the call on Sunday (left a message) and the report was at the lender on Monday.
I donÂt know how appraisers work in other areas but here it seems that the requirements are a small pickup, a cell phone, and a color printer (or access to a Kinkos or similar) - a ladder would be going the extra mile. They are not employed by firms or have employees other than their spouse - there are literally hundreds of "companies" in my area that could have been called upon. -A search of his name and company information place him right as his house as expected.
I apologize if that sounded too negative, they provide a valuable service but IMO reputation depends on whom you talk to and they are not generally hired based on it.
There is no well to be tested (wish that there was). The county has an extensive (and easily searchable) list of wells - it is needed for septic approvals.
Sadly, the damage is done and I have moved on - as did the lender (who could blame them). I do not really expect to ever see the appraisal report - It would make for an interesting hobby for a while though.
Thanks Again.
"I do not really expect to ever see the appraisal report - It would make for an interesting hobby for a while though."
If you paid for the appraisal, you have the right to a copy.
(p.s. I don't know if the link below is an up to date reference, but you do have a right to a copy)
Here is a link that might be useful: Rules on providing appraisal reports.
I agree, if you paid for the appraisal you must get a copy. Who requested the appriasal--loan company? Have you paid any fees yet? Did you fill out an application and pay for investigation reports like credit reports and pay for this. Did your lender just turn you down and will this effect your credit report for future request. Without a well you may not be able to refinace it as a livable piece of property. Is your lender a bank or??

Hello again, The internet is bad here even when "they" say it is good. Not really strong enough to get many photos with my entries and I have some great photos.

When were not doing the school work the kids are really very lovely and have incredible imaginations that the other day had us spending an hour adventuring in the garden making potions, escaping eagles and retrieving hidden keys - all of this inspired by a couple of not ripe olives. While I love being with the kids when they're in happy mode the hair pulling frustration I've felt when trying to get them ...

For lovers of history, culture and fine food, life would simply be incomplete without a visit to Rome. The cradle of western civilization and the peak of the renaissance, Rome is a city so rich in its historical and cultural lineage that it's difficult to sum up in just a few words. Over its 2,500-year history, Rome has given us the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, the Pantheon and St Peter's Basilica. Less fixed in bricks and mortar are the gifts of fantastic cuisine and fine wine. Speak to anyone who lives in the city and they'll say the way to experience Rome is not only through its monuments but through its restaurants, its piazzas and its bars.
Whether you're looking to tour imperial Rome or sneak away with your partner to the Trevi Fountain, Rome is an endlessly generous city to its visitors, who often decide to come back time after time.

The friends that I had planned to stay with in Stockholm were away for the weekend and so had to find a place to spend a couple of days between Oslo and Stockholm. Had planned to have reached them already but hadn't anticipated the breakdown obviously.

To the lakes
A nice bus ride with a very jolly Norwegian driver to Sweden looked a lot like driving in northern Minnesota. Flat rocky lakeshores with pines and birches and cabins. No wonder half of Scandinavia moved to MN. Mora is the town where they make the carved red horses called Dala. So there are statues everywhere and shops selling 500 kroner 2" high Dala. So much money, so I just took a picture instead. We took a great all day bike ride up to Orso and had lunch by the lake. All ...

There's probably no better way to wind down from nonstop New York Fashion Week coverage than with this video from Jimmy Kimmel. The late night host had his producers hang out at Lincoln Center and interview fashion week attendees about those lesser-known (read: totally fake) designers, including the likes of George Costanza to Willy Loman. And even when presented with a fake image of a model walking down the runway with a watermelon on his head, one fashion week enthusiast had quite the response: "It's called fashion. Look it up." Good advice.

GelaSkins vinyl iPod protectors announced
GelaSkins has announced its new line of protective vinyl iPod skins. Featuring over 100 designs ranging from fine art prints to graffiti style street art, the $15 adhesive protectors are available for 4G and 5G iPods, the iPod mini, and iPod nano. "GelaSkins are easy to apply thanks to a special textured adhesive technology, which channels air out and prevents the formation of bubbles," explains the company. "Even after extended use, GelaSkins remove cleanly leaving no residue on the iPod. Their low-profile design adds almost zero bulk, so the iPod will still integrate perfectly with other accessories such as its dock or the iTrip."

I'd be more interested if they offered a plain black or clear one, like invisibleSkin, and with a scroll wheel cutout. Seems like it's an outstanding alternative to the sticker option.
Posted by LC Angell on April 18, 2006 at 10:56 AM (CDT)
My mistake…they do offer a wheel cut-out that you don't have to use.
Now about that all black option…I would totally sacrifice the mirrored back for the plain black vinyl if it meant good protection.
Posted by LC Angell on April 18, 2006 at 10:58 AM (CDT)
nice, i would buy one only 15…
Posted by LC Angell on April 18, 2006 at 11:25 AM (CDT)
I would definately buy one if it was available in clear, plain black, or plain white.

Heyyy, not only do they have a number of nice designs, they also have good taste in music! Way to go, GelaSkins!

there are loads on the net(for example ebay) cause i had one on my 5g ipod since i got it so they are most likely to be avalabe.

wow, so inovative that decal girl have been doing exactly the same thing, including an amazing clear skin for ages. plus they are only $8.
Posted by LC Angell on April 18, 2006 at 6:45 PM (CDT)
Does decalgirl offer one with a click wheel cutout? That's my only concern before I buy a decalgirl.
Posted by LC Angell on April 18, 2006 at 7:56 PM (CDT)
Considering all the other vinyl sticker options out there, these are pretty expensive.
Posted by LC Angell on April 18, 2006 at 9:28 PM (CDT)
Yes, DecalGirl has covers for the clickwheel and center button, but you do not have to use them. There are very good quality stickers. I've been using them here and there since the Mini. Just be patient when putting it on to avoid any mistakes.
Posted by LC Angell on April 19, 2006 at 2:16 AM (CDT)
Sean, maybe you could give me a link to one of the Decalgirl covers with a clickwheel cutout? All the covers I can find have "full" protection.
Posted by LC Angell on April 19, 2006 at 9:33 AM (CDT)
First the product site is easy to use, the product itself is interesting creative, a lower cost model would increase sales volumes, but the over all idea is great. I am waiting to see what the product looks like. I should have mine in a couple days and than I will post pictures. Good idea -
Posted by LC Angell on April 19, 2006 at 2:51 PM (CDT)
Do they print on transparent vinyl or white vinyl? Are the stickers cut to spare the display or is the display covered by transparent vinyl?
GelaSkins does not provide answer to this question.
The reason i don´t offer Shufflesome designs for the iPod Nano or iPod Video is because i haven´t found a technology that would allow for high quality printing on transparent vinyl.
What´s the use of a cover that spares the display? It´s a bad compromise in my view.

Not an improvement
Last Tuesday's bad storm proved the effectiveness of the new Rosedale Beautification Program which eliminated two traffic lanes. It effectively jammed up essential Emergency vehicles. Traffic was slowed to a stop and First Responder vehicles - fire, police, and ambulances - were hopelessly stalled.
Thanks again to our leaders for this wonderful beautification "improvement."

I am attempting to come up with a new Abortion position, that balances the equation of three individuals with equal rights and synthesizes the philosophical motivations behind both the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice positions. I am calling this position True Life Equality or more literally Pro-Choice with a Pro-Life twist. To establish logical consistency despite the biological differences between the sexes requires one to think outside the proverbial box. In a pregnancy both the male and female contributed a single cell, their own DNA to the embryo so it is quite literally, 50-50 father and mother. To achieve equal rights between the mother and father, I advocate that it be legally required for the mother and her doctors to make reasonable attempts at informing the father. If there is a situation in which the mother feels the father should not be informed, it should be addressed using law enforcement agencies and the Court systems. I would also advocate that any organization offering maternal leave must also offer paternal leave and cannot discriminate on the basis of sex. I am sure most new mothers would appreciate it if their husbands to could take time off after the birth and give themselves a much needed respite. It has been documented that men rape women and women rape men so in the cases of rape, once found guilty, the rapist would forfeit their rights to the child, regardless of their gender. We have achieved equality between the mother and father and must now extend the reasoning to the third life involved, the unborn child. In the United States of America we believe in individual rights and I advocate that these individual rights extend to the fertilized zygote, since it is now possible that it has unique DNA. The mother has rights to her body and can choose to give birth or have an abortion but she does not have the right over the body of the unborn child. The mother can choose to abort or more accurately to deny life support to the unborn child, but the parents and doctors must attempt to preserve the unborn child's life, regardless of the mother's choice to abort or carry the unborn child to term. Very little would change, the only noticeable change would be that doctors would now develop new techniques to remove the implanted embryo without damaging it. If the operation is successful, the removed embryo would be stored using cryopreservation. The success rate for storing cells and achieving a successful implantation is only 10-30% at best but could be improved upon with more trial and error. This idea may repulse some of you as ideas of human experimentation come to mind but I must remind you that the current process places the aborted embryos in biological waste containers for incineration. As doctors would do for any born human being, they will attempt to preserve life, even if the odds are not so good. On to practical matters, the cryopreservation would be expensive but the cost would be reduced with demand. I would also advocate taking preventative measures to reduce abortion, such as subsidizing contraceptives such as condoms and birth control pills as well as pregnancy tests. With this position, we can achieve equal rights between the mother, father and unborn child as well as reconcile the differences between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. What do you think?
Moderated Comment
Your position stated in your post is one that I haven't heard before. Kudos to thinking it through. Maybe your idea will take hold as an option but not graduate to be a forced procedure. I haven't heard anyone speak of the situation when birth control fails. It seems that a woman who makes the responsible decision to use birth control, whatever the method, isn't exempt from the pro-life argument. I'd like to hear someone address this issue. Let's discuss the practical facts. Having a child has very permanent effect on a woman's body. The man merely stands by and waits for the child to be born. There is nothing he can do to help the process. Why should anyone tell a woman what she has to go through medically?? Why should a woman give up the right to make her own medical decisions – men have the same rights to ask for or refuse medical actions. Why is abortion any different? Should a woman be forced to undergo a harvesting procedure as you mentioned in your post? See below for more.
Furthermore, mothers have a greater responsibility and obligation to her child(ren) than the father right from the moment of conception. Aren't we disgusted when we hear that a mother has turned her back on a child and ask "how could a mother do that" while we merely shake our heads at the absent father as if it is common place. There are exceptions but that is the most common view. I understand that some men want parental rights but there is no parent unless the baby is born and until that point the pregnancy is solely within the woman's bodily control. She is only one who can speak for the baby. Men always have the literal ability to walk away while pregnant women have absolutely no way to do that. Men don't want to be forced to be a parent with all of its lifelong consequences nor do women. There are many facets to pregnancy but let's get back to basics. The government should not be able to tell me what I have to do with my body. Ultimately, a woman should only to answer to her god.

This chapter discusses the current evidence base for policies that could address socioeconomic status (SES) health gradients in the United States. The present volume has documented an enormous amount of research on the linkages between SES and health, but there are still relatively few studies that rigorously establish the effectiveness of particular policies or interventions in reducing those gradients. Given the difficulty in developing randomized evidence for many types of interventions related to social determinants of health, we argue for conducting policy analysis from a Bayesian perspective. This Bayesian approach combines information on best available theory and evidence regarding probable health benefits and costs of an intervention, providing a framework that also incorporates the probable costs of inaction. The second half of the chapter adopts a ladder metaphor to classify policies and interventions that could reduce SES gradients in population health. Using this framework, we consider the evidence base for various types of policies, focusing primarily on the social determinants of health, under the rubric that "all policy is health policy." We conclude by discussing promising strategies for future strengthening of the evidence base for policy, including the role of health impact assessment.

So about 4 months ago I goofed up and forgot the priming sugar step on bottling day. I have left the flat bottles of beer just sitting since then, too lazy/bummed to correct the problem.
I just ordered my first kegging setup, and it seems to me I should be able to simply transfer the bottles into the keg, and then force carb it, with the end result being drinkable beer in just a couple days.
My main questions are, does anyone have pointers on how to get the beer from bottles into the keg while minimizing oxygenation? And is there any reason why my plan wouldn't work?
I think you idea is good, however the difficulty will be in moving the beer from the bottles to the kegs.
You might be able to pour them gently into a bottling bucket and then using a racking can setup, into the keg.
Another idea is to buy the cooper carbonation drops, open each of your bottles, drop a drop into the bottle and re-cap.
Kegged: Kolsch IPA, Light Rye IPA, Bourbon Barrel Porter
Primary: Blueberry Honey Mead,
Secondary: Blueberry Honey Mead
Aging/Conditioning: TOD Clone, Oatmeal Stout
Bottle Priming/Conditioning:
On Deck: Black Lager, North German Pilsner, Hopped Lager, Imperial Lager
I just did this with about a case of bottles that we're not consistently carbed. You'll want to minimize splashing. For the first few bottles, I had the keg laying on its side. I gradually increased the angle of the keg to keep the beer from flowing out the top. Then I added CO2 and made sure to burp/purge it a few times to get the air out and increase CO2 concentration. Then threw it in the kegerator. Since mine were already cold and partially carbed, it only took a week to carb up. It tasted, fine last weekend.
I would purge the keg with CO2. As long as you keep a nice blanket of CO2 in the keg, all the way up to the lid, you can just up-end the bottles and pour away without worrying about oxidation.
Immature: A word boring people use to describe fun people
In your case, you have a lot more than I did. Perhaps, sanitize your bottling bucket and racking tubing. Then carefully empty the bottles into the bucket, connect tube to bucket spigot, put tube in keg, open spigot and transfer. If the tube doesn't reach the bottom, just run it down the side so the beer doesn't drop in.
I wouldn't worry about the temperature or gas absorption. The beer won't be exposed that long and it's not under pressure.
Personally I think the easiest thing to do is uncap, add carb drops and recap.
Trying to transfer effectively to a keg opens up the possibility of oxidizing the beer and then it's a waste. Simply purging the keg will not purge the o2 that might be in the beer from transfer
Probably won't expose it to anymore oxygen or air than it already has since there would have been little, if any CO2 generated while it was capped in the bottles.

For five generations these musicians from Sembonar Koil have preserved a precious legacy playing the nagaswaram.
Guru bhakti and practice are the two most important aspects to be successful.
Sembonar Koil, a hamlet near Mayiladuthurai (Mayavaram), is synonymous with the nagaswaram, having produced five generations of vidwans. A talk with the fourth generation nagaswara vidwans 88-year-old S.R.G.Sambandam and 77-year-old S.R.G.Rajanna revealed the rich heritage the family has nurtured. The duo's paternal grandfather Ramaswamy Pillai was the asthana vidwan of the Mysore Samasthanam and the first nagaswara vidwan to cut a 78-rpm record. Uncle S.R.Dakshinamurthy Pillai had two sons who were also performing as Sembonar Koil Brothers, of which only S.R.D.Vaidyanathan is alive.
Fifth generation musiciansSambandam's sons have taken over the baton from him and are now playing as fifth generation musicians. Rajanna's sons, however, are not pursuing this line of music. Why? Rajanna felt that if his sons took up nagaswaram, it would cause ego problems and rift in the family. But he did not fail to give them a sound knowledge of Carnatic music. Their father and uncle were the first ever siblings duo to perform together. Sambandam and Rajanna did gurukulavasam and learnt music from their maternal grandfather Pandanallur Gurusamy Pillai and later from their maternal uncle Venugopal Pillai who had acquired a rich experience by accompanying the famous Tiruvengadu Subramania Pillai in his concerts. Both of them mentioned with reverence and gratitude the support of Tiruvavaduthurai Adheenam, Dharmapuram Adheenam and Tiruppananthal Math to nagaswaram and its growth. They were happy that the Tamil Nadu Government was running nagaswaram and tavil schools all over the State. The brothers recall fondly the opportunity they got to rub shoulders with greats such as T.N.Rajarathinam Pillai (grandfather had insisted that they listen to TNR, whose music would hone their skills), Tiruveezhimizhalai Brothers, Keeranur Brothers, Tiruvidaimaruthur Veerusamy Pillai, Tiruvengadu Subramania Pillai, Karukurichi Arunachalam, MPN Brothers and A.K.C.Natarajan. Tavil vidwans Needamangalam Meenakshisundaram Pillai, Nachiar Koil Raghava Pillai and Valangaiman Shanmugasundaram Pillai accompanied them in concerts. Apart from Valayapatti A.R.Subramanian for whom they have great regard, they have great respect for Haridwaramangalam A.K.Palanivel, Tiruvalaputhur T.A.Kaliamurthy, Tirukkarugavur T.D.Sivagurunathan and Tirupungur Murugan. It was Tiruppananthal Marimuthu Pillai who was the permanent tavil for them for more than two-and-a-half decades.Their grandfather had made an innovation called Rakthi Melam which they consider an invaluable family asset. It is a musical form which is played in Misra gathi in Thatthagaram. No lyrics and no specific raga. People thronged to attend their concerts to listen to Rakthi melam played after the main item.Those were vintage days when they played mallari alongside other nagaswara vidwans signifying the commencement of the procession of the Mayuranathar and Abhayambika, presiding deities of Mayuranathaswamy temple, Mayiladuthurai or when MS sang the Oonjal songs at the wedding in the family of Pakkirisamy Pillai, even as they played the same.They also fondly remember the days of playing Theertha Mallari during Kadai Mugam, which falls in the Tamil month of Aippasi. Max Mueller Bhavan has made a recording of the brothers as early as in 1980. The brothers consider playing in Kerala temples as a great experience in view of the complete silence that prevails there during concerts. They have travelled abroad widely and were the first to present Vadya Vrinda on Singapore radio to the accompaniment of flute, violin, and tabla.Not having completed school is perhaps the only regret they have in life, the impact of which they felt more while travelling abroad. According to them, guru bhakti and practice are the two most important aspects to be successful. They were made to practise from 4.30 to 6.30 a.m. on a daily basis. The practice, which included vocal too, would continue after a two-hour break. They had to practise seated in front of a large mirror. This helped them correct the mistakes in postures and expressions and polishing them.
Postures, expressionsThe nagaswaram had to be held straight and parallel to the ground. At no point of time while playing, should the `anasu' touch the ground. The accent was more on learning the sahityam properly and then playing it on the nagaswaram. They have great admiration for the way Pandanallur T.R.Dakshinamurthy Pillai used to practise for hours together without any semblance of tiredness. Similarly, they used to be awestruck on seeing their father and uncle try some abiprayam and prayogams late night after returning from their concert.The Kalaimamani award in 1980, the T.N.Rajarathinam Pillai Memorial award, Tiruvengadu Subramania Pillai Centenary award and the recent one from Valayapatti Nadhaalaya Trust are noteworthy among the many titles and awards that they have won. Playing as brothers is advantageous and their advice is that siblings should always play as a duo. Good and clean habits and a disciplined life would help one overcome the strains, they say. That nagaswaram runs in their veins becomes evident when they inform that Sambandham's ward Mohandoss, who is now playing with his brother S.R.G.S.Vasanthakumar, has never had any formal training in nagaswaram and that it all came just like that. Thus the legacy continues.

Price spiral forces many families to alter their diet pattern in Malappuram district
Malappuram: Life is an ordeal for a large number of ordinary people in the district with the increasing prices of essential commodities. With the price spiral affecting families in the lower tier of society, many are forced to change their diet pattern.
Although the price rise here is relatively less when compared to other parts of the State, it has had a direct impact on thousands of families who depend on daily wages for a living.
The average increase in the price of rice is around Rs.3.5 a kg.
The people here prefer 'Kuruva' rice and its variants to other popular varieties such as 'Jaya' and 'Matta'. Kuruva rice is currently sold at prices ranging from Rs.16 to Rs. 18 a kg. Last year, it was sold for Rs.14 or Rs.15.
'No big impact'
"If we take the price of Kuruva as an index, then we have not suffered as much a price increase as projected in the media," says Shuhaib K., managing partner of Three Star Trading Company, a firm that does wholesale and retail grocery business in major towns in the district.
The rice variety '1001', second only to Kuruva and popular among ordinary people, is now available for Rs.15-16 a kg. Last April, it was sold for Rs.13-14.
The 'Matta' rice also witnessed an increase of Rs.3 a kg. Shops in Malappuram towns currently sell good quality Matta for Rs.18. Last year, its price was Rs.15 a kg.
However, Mr. Shuhaib's argument finds few buyers in the district.
"Our budgets have gone up tremendously, and we are looking for ways to reduce household expenses. If it is so hard for us, imagine how severe and unmerciful it is for the poor," says Rahmat Habeeba, wife of an MLA from the district.
M.K. Hasan, who works as a private security guard and whose 10-member household spends about Rs.4,000 a month on victuals, says he was forced to cut down his budget. "Some of the essentials have now become luxuries," he says.
Some items spared
The price spiral has spared few items.
The prices of coriander and salt have shot up greatly. Coriander is sold at Rs.70 a kg as against Rs.35 last year. Iodised salt costs Rs.7 a kg and the non-iodised variety Rs.5. There is an increase of Rs.2 in salt prices, which is about 40 per cent.
Coconut oil is sold for Rs.60 a litre as against Rs.50 last year. The price of sugar has increased from Rs.13.50 last year to Rs.16.
The prices of vegetables, meat, fish and milk too have begun to drain the purse of the common man. Tomato costs Rs.20 now against Rs.10 last year; ladies finger Rs.14 (Rs.10); and small onion Rs.20 (Rs.14). However, the prices of plantain, banana, chilly, potato, and large onion witnessed no major change.
Many fish varieties are unaffordable for the common man with seer fish being sold for Rs.300 a kg and pomfret Rs.250. Beef too costs Rs.80 a kg in the district. The price of chicken has increased to Rs.90 a kg.
Not to offend consumers, some manufacturers have reduced the quantity. For example, a 500-gm sachet of a soap powder that cost Rs.10 last year is currently available in 400-gm sachet for the same price. "The reduction in quantity is hardly noticed by consumers," says P. Moideenkutty, proprietor of Manu Store at Valiyaparamba.
K. Pocker, a fruit dealer at Kottakkal, says the increase in fruit prices has not affected the buying pattern of the people.
However, other shop owners do not agree. While Mr. Shuhaib's business dipped 20 per cent, Mr. Moideenkutty has suffered a 30 per cent slump.
Close monitoring
The district administration says it is vigilant against any malpractices or extortion by retailers. "We have increased surprise checks to prevent hoarding," says District Collector M.C. Mohandas.
He said a monitoring committee would soon be convened to step up vigil against malpractices. Inspection of ration shops too had been increased. Mr. Mohandas said special attention was being paid to make available foodstuff to tribal colonies in the district.
