Dimitrov Pulls Double Duty On Birthday; Bryans To Face Nestor/Zimonjic
Rome, Italy
by ATP Staff
Birthday boy Grigor Dimitrov had many reasons for celebration Friday at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia.
After reaching the semi-finals for the first time at an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament with victory over Tommy Haas, the 23-year-old Bulgarian teamed up with Czech Lukas Rosol for a comeback win in the doubles quarter-finals. The pair edged Marin Cilic and Santiago Gonzalez 4-6, 6-4, 10-8.
Dimitrov and Rosol, who faced off in the Bucharest final a couple weeks ago, are making their partnership debut this week. For a place in the final, they will face another new pairing, Robin Haase and Feliciano Lopez.
The Dutchman and Spaniard dismissed third seeds Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo 6-3, 6-2 in 45 minutes, converting three of their four break point chances against the Monte-Carlo finalists.
Dimitrov will face the winner between Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray in the singles semi-finals Saturday evening before his doubles match. Nadal was the last player to double up at a Masters 1000 tournament, winning the singles and doubles title (w/Robredo) in 2008 at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters.
Top seeds and defending champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan advanced to a semi-final meeting with No. 6 seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic, who last week snapped their 24-match winning streak with triumph in the Mutua Madrid Open final.
The Bryans were to face Haas and Radek Stepanek in the quarter-finals, but the German retired from his singles match against Dimitrov with a right shoulder injury.
The American twins are looking to win the Rome title for a fourth time and also claim their 99th team title overall.

Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon

Portals |
Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon (January 13, 1674 – June 17, 1762) was a French poet and tragedian.
Crébillon was born in Dijon, where his father, Melchior Jolyot, was notary-royal. Having been educated at the Jesuit school in the town, and afterwards at the Collège Mazarin. He became an advocate, and was placed in the office of a lawyer named Prieur at Paris. With the encouragement of his master, son of an old friend of Scarron's, he produced a Mort des enfants de Brutus, which was never produced on the stage.
In 1705 he succeeded with Idoménée; in 1707 his Atrée et Thyeste was repeatedly acted at court; Electre appeared in 1709; and in 1711 he produced his finest play, Rhadamiste et Zénobie, considered as his masterpiece despite a complicated and over-involved plot. But his Xerxes (1714) was only performed once and his Sémiramis (1717) was an absolute failure.
In 1707 Crébillon had married a penniless girl, who had since died, leaving him two young children. His father had also died, insolvent. In three years at court he had gained nothing and aroused considerable envy. Oppressed with melancholy, he moved to a garret, where he surrounded himself with dogs, cats and birds, which he had befriended; he became utterly careless of cleanliness or food, and sought comfort only in smoking.
In 1731, despite his long seclusion, he was elected to the Académie française; in 1735 he was appointed royal censor; and in 1745 Madame de Pompadour presented him with a pension of 1000 francs and a post in the royal library. He returned to the stage in 1726 with a successful play, Pyrrhus; in 1748 his Catilina was performed with great success at court; and in 1754, aged eighty, he appeared his last tragedy, Le Triumvirat. His only son Claude was also an author.
Crébillon was considered by many to be superior to Voltaire as a tragic poet. The spirit of rivalry induced Voltaire to take the subjects of no less than five of Crébillon's tragedies (Semiramis, Electre, Catilina, Le Triumviral and Ahreeas), as his own. The so-called Éloge de Crébillon (1762) (the title meant ironically), which appeared in the year of the poet's death, was generally attributed to Voltaire, though he strenuously denied the authorship.
There are numerous editions of his works, among which may be noticed: Œuvres (1772), with preface and éloge, by Joseph de La Porte; Œuvres (1828), containing D'Alembert's Éloge de Crébillon, (1775); and Théâtre complet (1885) with a notice by Auguste Vito. A complete bibliography is given by Maurice Dutrait, in his Étude sur la vie et le théâtre de Crébillon (1895).

Vitamin E and Fatty Acids May Ease PMS
Study Suggests Supplement May Provide Relief for Symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome
By Denise Mann
WebMD Health News
Reviewed By Laura J. Martin, MD
Jan. 19, 2011 -- A supplement containing vitamin E and essential fatty acids may help reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Brazilian researchers report in Reproductive Health.
Of 120 women with PMS or the more severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), those who took 1- or 2-gram capsules of vitamin E and a combination of gamma linolenic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and other polyunsaturated acids daily showed marked improvements in their PMS symptoms at six months, compared to women who received dummy pills.
The capsules were provided by the Brazilian supplement company Hebron Farmaceutica.
The women who received the higher 2-gram dose of the new supplement showed greater improvements in PMS symptoms than those who received the lower 1-gram dose, the study shows.
PMS symptoms were assessed over six menstrual cycles using the Prospective Record of the Impact and Severity of Menstruation (PRISM), a standardized tool that measures PMS symptoms and their intensity.
Precisely how these supplements combat the symptoms of PMS is not fully understood. But the researchers speculate that the essential fatty acids may affect production of chemicals called prostaglandins, which, in turn, reduce the effects of the hormone prolactin. Too much prolactin or an abnormal response to this hormone may cause PMS symptoms.
The physical and emotional symptoms of PMS symptoms can range from the mild to severe; they usually begin five to 12 days before menstruation and disappear once menstruation starts.
"The results of the current study present some evidence in support of the use of essential fatty acids in PMS patients," conclude researchers who were led by Edilberto A. Rocha Filho, MD, of the Federal University of Pernambuci in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil.
The new supplement was safe and the fatty acids did not raise women's total cholesterol levels.
Potential PMS Remedy
"A lot of women don't like to talk about PMS because it is the brunt of bad jokes, but PMS symptoms are no joke and can range from the annoying, like acne and bloating, to serious mood and sleep disruptions," says Donnica Moore, MD, president of Sapphire Women's Health in Far Hills, N.J. "PMS is a serious medical problem that affects a majority of women to varying extents."
"This PMS remedy in the new study can't be interpreted as a cure, but it is very promising option for women with PMS," she says. "The only cure for PMS is menopause."
Other PMS treatments include oral contraceptives which stop ovulation, exercise, antidepressants, calcium and vitamin D supplements, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, Moore says. "Some women respond to all of the above, and some don't respond to any."
More PMS treatments are needed, agrees Samantha Meltzer-Brody, MD, director of the perinatal psychiatry of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Center for Women's Mood Disorders.
"Currently available treatments only help half of women with PMS, which means that the other 50% continue to struggle. So anything that shows a promise, such as essential fatty acids, and has minimal side effects, would be a useful contribution," she says.
Women who think they may have PMS should keep a daily mood-rating diary and follow their moods for two months consecutively, she says. "Really track how your mood fluctuates and correlate it with your menstrual cycle."
The first step is to make lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet and taking a daily multivitamin, exercising, minimizing caffeine intake, and getting good sleep, she says.
These may help minimize PMS symptoms. Also, "Talk to doctor about available options, which would include oral contraceptives and antidepressants," Meltzer-Brody says.

Massive young clusters (YCs) are expected to host intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) born via runaway collapse. These IMBHs are likely in binaries and can undergo mergers with other compact objects, such as stellar mass black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs). We derive the frequency of such mergers starting from information available in the Local Universe. Mergers of IMBH-NS and IMBH-BH binaries are sources of gravitational waves (GWs), which might allow us to reveal the presence of IMBHs. We thus examine their detectability by current and future GW observatories, both ground- and space-based. In particular, as representative of different classes of instruments we consider Initial and Advanced LIGO, the Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope (ET) and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We find that IMBH mergers are unlikely to be detected with instruments operating at the current sensitivity (Initial LIGO). LISA detections are disfavored by the mass range of IMBH-NS and IMBH-BH binaries: less than one event per year is expected to be observed by such instrument. Advanced LIGO is expected to observe a few merger events involving IMBH binaries in a 1-year long observation. Advanced LIGO is particularly suited for mergers of relatively light IMBHs (~100 Msun) with stellar mass BHs. The number of mergers detectable with ET is much larger: tens (hundreds) of IMBH-NS (IMBH-BH) mergers might be observed per year, according to the runaway collapse scenario for the formation of IMBHs. We note that our results are affected by large uncertainties, produced by poor observational constraints on many of the physical processes involved in this study, such as the evolution of the YC density with redshift.

Brendan Graham
Brendan Graham (born 1945)[1]) is world famous both as an Irish novelist and a music composer. Graham was born in County Tipperary. Although he is now an inhabitant of Mayo with his wife and five daughters.
Irish Novelist[edit]
Brendan Graham has published a best selling series of three novels, The Whitest Flower (London, Harper Collins, 1998), an Irish No. 2 best seller, The Element of Fire (Harper Collins, 2001) and The Brightest Day, The Darkest Night (Harper Collins, 2004). The Whitest Flower (1998) was a number 2 bestseller in Ireland, and was translated into German as Die Irische Nacht (Berlin, Rutten & Loening, 2000). Described as a documentary novel of the Great Famine, it is currently a text at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Element of Fire (2001) is a continuation of the Whitest Flower story. Widowed by Ireland's Great Famine, Ellen Rua O'Malley flees her native land for Boston and the New World: with her are her two surviving children, Patrick and Mary, and the 'silent girl' whom Ellen has found wandering among the hordes of the dispossessed. In 2004 Brendan published The Brightest Day, The Darkest Night. The story continues to track the life of Ellen Rua O'Malley. This novel was as vast in scope and powerful storytelling as its predecessors. Three women... Two armies... One enduring love. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, it was a powerful, sweeping novel which explores the themes of forgiveness and longing, and the changing role of women, set free by war from the protection of their men.[2]
Music Composer[edit]
Brendan Graham is one of Ireland's most famous lyricists and song writers. In an article about the song tradition of Ireland, legendary scribe Con Houlihan wrote…
'Some of the best poetry being produced in this country today is in the form of song – Christy Moore and Brendan Graham and Jimmy McCarthy are touched by genius.' Evening Herald, 26 Mar 08.
Whilst in a full page, feature article, the Irish Times described Graham as a 'Musical Midas in the Mayo Silence.' Irish Times, 20 Dec 07.
He wrote the lyrics for Rolf Løvland's "You Raise Me Up". Løvland was inspired to write the song after reading The Whitest Flower, Graham's first novel.[3] "You Raise Me Up" was a huge international hit for Irish boyband Westlife. It has been covered by different artists almost 400 times. You Raise Me Up has been awarded ''Million-Air'' status by the American Performing Rights Society BMI. To be included in this exclusive roster a song must have been broadcast over one million times on American radio. This definition equals at least 50,000 broadcast hours, or more than 5.7 years of continuous airplay. It is the most downloaded sheet music song of all time.
Graham also composed two of Ireland's winning entries in the Eurovision Song Contest: "Rock 'n' Roll Kids", which won in 1994, and "The Voice", the winner of the 1996 contest.[4] He also wrote the 1976 Irish Eurovision entry, 'When', which was sung by Red Hurley, and the 1985 entry 'Wait until the weekend comes', performed by Maria Christian. He wrote several songs for Celtic Woman, including "O, America". Also, for a similar group, Celtic Thunder, Graham wrote songs including "My Land ", "Voices", and "Always There" (written especially for a CT member Emmet Cahill).
When the British composer,Paul Mealor, wrote a lullaby for Prince George, son of William and Katherine, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Graham was invited to write the lyrics. It is entitled "Sleep On". Graham has many critically acclaimed projects and collaborations.He has worked with a diverse range of artists including Josh Groban, Westlife, IL Divo; New York Metropolitan's Young Ok Shin, Sissel, Celtic Woman, Secret Garden, Elaine Paige; Australia's Kate Ceberano, Brian Kennedy, Eimear Quinn, Katie McMahon, Anuna, Daniel O'Donnell, Ronan Tynan, Katherine Jenkins, Russell Watson, The Irish Tenors, Nashville's Hal Ketchum, Tommy Cash and jazz vocalist & No.1 hit songwriter for Garth Brooks – Benita Hill; as well as acclaimed artistes within the Scottish and Irish traditions, such as Roisin Elsafty, Fionnuala Gill, Karen Matheson, Alyth McCormack, Sean Keane and Dervish.
Entries in the Eurovision Song Contest[edit]
- "When" by Red Hurley, Ireland, (Eurovision Song Contest 1976), 10th place
- "Wait Until the Weekend Comes" by Maria Christian, Ireland, (Eurovision Song Contest 1985), 6th place
- "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" by Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigan, Ireland, (Eurovision Song Contest 1994), 1st place

The second song I have chosen to add to this list is Papercut By Linkin Park. This song keeps you going the beat is strong and the lyrics are intriguing to say the least.
This next song is by the Rolling Stones, who hasn't heard of the Rolling Stones?! Paint it black has been featured in more then a few movies and a couple of television shows. It gets you going sometimes!
This song is mostly made adrenaline pumping by the backup music not even the main singer, Amy Lee. This song is Bring me to Life by Evanescence
Now, we have completly missed techno on this trip so far! Let's not forget about Darude and Daft Punk? This song in particular is by Daft Punk and it keeps you moving! Welcome, Sandstorm!

Special Olympics made history when the State of New Jersey Senate Education Committee passed legislation that school districts must make an effort to ensure that students with disabilities have opportunities to participate in sports equal to those of other students through Special Olympics Unified Sports® programs.
Washington, D.C. – Special Olympics Unified Sports, an inclusive sports program that combines individuals with intellectual disabilities and partners without intellectual disabilities on teams for training and competition, is a significantly growing program that has direct results in building more inclusive school climates. This news is especially significant as this legislation passed during the third annual Special Olympics USA Games, hosted by the state of New Jersey, bringing 3,500 athletes from across the country to compete in 16 Olympic-style sports, with 10 of those sports being Unified Sports, making these Games the most inclusive to date. To help fund the Unified Sports programs, Special Olympics New Jersey has secured a $200,000 legacy grant through the Walmart Foundation. Funding will expand Unified Sports programs in 75-100 New Jersey school districts. This legislation builds on federal law guidance that was issued by the U.S. Department of Education in January 2013 to schools throughout the United States encouraging access to sport for students with disabilities. New Jersey will comply with the federal law as well as promote greater inclusion of student athletes with disabilities. "As the Special Olympics are being celebrated in New Jersey this week, we are reminded of the difference that team sports can make in the lives of children with disabilities by promoting acceptance and inclusion," said Governor Chris Christie. "Involvement in sports instills a strong work ethic and an understanding of the importance of teamwork in our students as they participate in their sport of choice. This legislation will afford all New Jersey students, regardless of their disability, the opportunity to grow as athletes and members of a community." School districts are now required to ensure that a student with a disability has an equal opportunity to participate in physical activity programs, existing classroom activities that involve physical activity and athletic programs in an integrated manner to the maximum extent appropriate to the needs of the student. The legislation also allows for the provision of reasonable modifications or aids or services necessary to provide a student with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in any of the aforementioned physical activities. Under the provisions of the bill presented by State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, in consultation with Special Olympics New Jersey and other adapted sports organizations, may establish interscholastic athletic programs for students participating in Unified Sports programs developed by the school districts. Additionally, the association may require a coach of a Unified Sports program of athletics to receive training specific to that program. There are already many Special Olympics Programs across the United States that are partnering with interscholastic athletic associations, but this legislation opens the doors even further with New Jersey serving as the model that can be replicated nationwide. "This legislation is a landmark for social inclusion and Unified Sports. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience playing a sport – no matter your ability level -- and people with intellectual disabilities are no different," said Janet Froetscher, CEO of Special Olympics. "This bill has unified the entire New Jersey statehouse around this cause and we want to see this bill multiply and see other states adopt Unified Sports and encourage teachers, educators and administrators to make an effort and ensure students with disabilities are included in team sports.""This is a tremendous step for inclusion for young people of all abilities in this great state," remarked Chris Tobin, father of Colin, an athlete. "We have watched so many young stars grow through Special Olympics New Jersey, and it is wonderful to know each of them will now have these same great opportunities in their schools with all of their peers.

Rare film of the 1986 Challenger explosion, taken by Jeffrey Ault of Orange City, Fla., and licensed by the Huffington Post has emerged. It is perhaps the only amateur recording of the event on film, and online it has been made available exclusively to The Huffington Post.
Jeffrey Ault built a 5-foot tall replica of an Apollo-era Saturn V rocket for an elementary school science project. In high school, when NASA was conducting tests of the space shuttle program, he routinely wrote to the space administration requesting mission reports, collecting them in a file that he still has to this day.
So when he had the opportunity to attend the launch of the Challenger space shuttle while visiting Florida in January 1986, he was thrilled.
Ault, who was 19 at the time and visiting from southern California, attended the launch with his parents, Bernice and Robert, and his friend Bill Graber. He filmed the event with his Chinon Super 8 film camera while Graber snapped photos.
Like many home movies, the film sat untouched in a box in Ault's house for decades. Until last week, it had been 26 years since he had seen the film, which The Huffington Post licensed from Ault.

The Distance Imperative: A Different Way of Thinking About Public Official Corruption Investigations/Prosecutions and the Federal RoleNorman AbramsUCLA Law School November 1, 2010 Loyola University Chicago Law.Journal, Vol. 42, p. 207, 2011 UCLA School of Law Research Paper No. 10-29 Abstract: The "distance imperative," as coined here, is a shorthand label for the bundle of concerns that, individually or taken together, create the need to achieve some "distance" between public officials suspected or accused of corrupt acts and the public criminal enforcement agencies that might investigate and prosecute them. There are many explanations for why and where investigations are undertaken and prosecutions are brought in individual cases. Addressing the distance imperative in isolation is a kind of thought experiment focusing attention on this factor, largely to the exclusion of others. By way of illustration, corruption in a police agency presents a set of special distance issues both because of the nature of a police organization and the concerns that arise when the police investigate "one of their own." Related issues arise when corruption is suspected within the agency of prosecution or among judges. Similarly, when high level officials in local, state or the federal government are investigated and prosecuted for corruption, the need for some distance is heightened because of concerns about political influence affecting the integrity of the criminal enforcement process. The article a) surveys various categories of governmental agencies – different agencies tend to present different kinds of distance concerns; b) reviews the diverse ways for achieving distance; c) explains the large federal role in dealing with political corruption and how this comports with distance imperative analysis; and finally d) suggests the formulation of investigatory and prosecutorial policies to reflect distance imperative concerns. The distance imperative approach highlights the links between such diverse legal phenomena as the use of special prosecutors to pursue instances of corruption, the existence of internal affairs bureaus in large police departments, and the reasons why the federal government is involved in enforcement efforts against local public official corruption. The article suggests that policies involving the distance imperative should be established to provide some guidance in implementing the Department of Justice's Political Corruption priority. These could serve as a model for developing comparable principles in other areas of federal priorities relating to the prosecution of state and local crime.

There don't seem to be cold spots like my Viking Pro Series.l like the bottom freezer, the compartments and drawers really help.One suggestion for improvement is a filtered water dispenser, and perhaps one long drawer in the fridge for trays.

This fridge looks great, but unfortunately it is not energy efficient and the build quality is very poor. We have had several problems with it in the first 2 months of ownership. The unit is also loud and occassionally drops the temperature by 10 degrees. It would also be nice if the unit had an interior water fill like some of the other kitchen aid units.

Terribly Disappointing
By reno2014
from Montclair, NJ, United States
My produce rots prematurely in the drawers and I wind up storing most in our prior KitchenAid fridge now in the basement , the ice maker's water filter leaked and damaged our hardwood floors, and the french doors flap open no matter how gently we close the doors. We bought this in February 2014 for a new kitchen. The French doors have bounced open from the start, and the friendly repairman said that's the nature of this fridge. It's lame, is what it is. Makes my husband crazy that a follow-up press is required every single time, and with three kids, you can be sure that doesn't always happen. NO, the alarm does not sound if the door is only slightly ajar. The strong seal of a SubZero has me wishing we'd just gone for it. Worse yet, in June the waterfilter cracked open (how?? repairman supposes it happened at the factory and took time to become prob) and flooded our kitchen, damaging the brand new hardwood floors. The fridge doesn't hold as much as I'd expected, but I have no complaints about the freezer or icemaker. The freezer is well designed and functions perfectly well. All in all, a disappointing purchase. If you can afford this fridge, you may want to save elsewhere and upgrade to the Sub Zero.
Great unit
By jdpinmanks
from Inman, KS, United States
we love this built in French door refrigerator. We built our home two and a half years ago and put this refrigerator in and have had no issues. We love the way the freezer compartment is set up for organization and the ease of use of the top refrigerator is awesome.
Refrigerators replacement;
By Kitchen savy
from Toronto, ON, Canada
Our kitchen aid built in refrigerator had to be replaced. We did stay with Kitchen aid, although I had a concern, as we had a lot of trouble with our first One. Hopefully this one will be much better. I do like the style of it. And so far it is working well for me. Looks great in my kitchen, and it is very functional.
Excellent design
By Joan Meryl
from La Quinta, CA, United States
The layout of the french door refrigerator with the bottom freezer unit is a perfect combination for a busy housewife who loves to cook. I'm constantly in and out of the frigerator getting ingredients which are so easy to locate. The shelving is so functional allowing me to basically design my own interior space.
Kitchen Aid Refrigerator

from Peyton, CO
This refrigerator was the finishing touch of elegance to our new home. We have used Kitchen Aid products for many years relying on the combination of their reliability and quality combined with the elegant appearance. This product remains in line with our expectations!
Great refrigerator
By Heetercarol
We owned the same refrigerator in our previously home and loved it so much that we replaced a working GE refrigerator with our new Kitchen Aid I think the best feature is the ice making no ice or water falling on the floor.
Good Looking, Easy to Use
By Jerimiah
from Vista, CA, United States
After 13 1/2 years our old refrigerator went out. We needed a 42 inch wide to fit the space. The Kitchen Aid met our requirements at a reasonable price. I gave it a "Good" rating at this time. After we have used the product a little longer, I hope to give it an "Excellent" rating.

That bit of glittery self-satisfaction is well deserved. Threading through the album's nicely paced mix of pop and R & B tunes is the autobiography of a gay man on the cusp of his 30th year, one who has learned that chasing his muse is the surest way to outpace his demons.
"It's kind of my theme song at the moment," Gold says of "Where the Music Takes You," the pop-inflected first single from the album. "It just makes me feel good."
That good feeling is no less apparent but more hard-won on some of the album's meatier tracks.
"When can I let go of those disappointments, unmet needs," Gold croons against the backdrop of a lush, '70s-style horn riff at the beginning of "Play It Back," a reflection on what it means to be possessed by the past. "I'm tired of always having two minds about it all."
Gold can be forgiven the occasional moment of ambivalence. A child singing star who began performing jingles and voiceovers at an age when most of us were still learning not to eat glue, Gold was also steeped in the Orthodox Judaism of his parents' home in the Bronx.
"I'd have to take my yarmulke off when I went into the recording studio," Gold recalls. "Learning to transition between those worlds was helpful -- some of the other showbiz kids around me were obsessed, but my identity as a Jew gave something else that was also important to me."
Gold says that while inhabiting the dual and sometimes dueling influences of his childhood could be confusing, it also helped him to cultivate the skills he would need as an artist who brings a clear political perspective to his work.
"Moving from one social space into another allowed me to take a step back and get a better look at both of them," he says.
Gold's sharp-eyed social critic gets to take center stage in "Mr. Mistress," a talk-to-the-hand farewell to a married man who's chasing gay booty on the down low, and "Feeding the Fire," one of the rare songs about addiction that manages to be serious without becoming shrill.
But on the album's most satisfying tracks, Gold turns the bright light of his mind's eye inward to take a closer look at his own experience. The sonic buzz-saw edge of "Soul Killer" rips into the closet door of internalized homophobia, and "I Can Forgive You," a ballad suffused with the feeling of release that comes with letting go of regret, features the singer at his most vocally expressive.
"['I Can Forgive You'] was initially about the end of a five-year romantic relationship," Gold says, "but now when I sing it, it's more about family and what it means to heal those relationships."
Keeping his muse in sight has helped Gold navigate troubled waters. It has also allowed him to create honest and distinctly original work in a business where "breaking the rules" is generally a ploy for packaging a product, not producing it.
"I've reached a place in my life that I like," Gold says. "I don't have to choose between having a social consciousness and making some really good grooves."
"Transport Systems" is now available in stores.

'Love in a Mist' by jackyp
Jacky Parker is member jackyp on ePHOTOzine. Here, she shares with us some tips and tricks to help you get the best out of flower shots with your Nikon camera.
Jacky has long had a fascination for flowers and plants, and it was while she was studying for a diploma in horticulture eight years ago that she was first introduced to floral photography.
"Part of the course involved producing a thesis including some photographs. Although I had been married to a professional photographer for 20 years I had never shown any interest in photography. So I asked him to lend me a simple camera (point and shoot) to capture the images for my thesis," Jacky remembers.
'Nose Dive' by jackyp
This was when Jacky's love of flower photography really began. "From the very first images that I produced, I realised how fascinating it was to get involved with the flora & fauna and how I could really observe the intricate details of flowers," Jacky enthuses. "It was obviously very useful to have my own personal tutor to hand, who gave lots of help & advice!"
Jacky's husband, who is a Nikon user, advised a suitable beginner's DSLR, the Nikon D300. "I use a
NIKKOR Micro 105mm f/2.8 lens. I still use the lens (my favourite) but have upgraded the camera to a Nikon D700. This is the combination I am most at ease with," explains Jacky.
So what other kit does Jacky use to create her stunning images? "In my bag I also keep a 16-35mm NIKKOR wide-angle zoom and an 80-400mm telephoto zoom for wildlife. I also use various Lensbaby lenses and optics with macro attachments and a Sigma ring flash."
'Darling Buds of Summer' by jackyp
To get good shots, it's important to know your subject well, believes Jacky: "It is important to have as much knowledge as possible about the subject you are taking, which is why I specialise in flower photos.
I am happiest in amongst wildflower meadows where no two pictures are ever the same. I try to avoid bright sunlight, thus avoiding harsh shadows, so I tend to shoot early morning and early evening. My favourite flowers at the moment are probably poppies and corn marigolds with their striking vibrant colours and paper like petals."
'Daisy' by jackyp
"I very rarely use a tripod as I like to get 'down and dirty' in amongst the flowers. I like to use a minimum depth of field to obtain maximum bokeh and it is this bokeh which I consider to be a very important creative part of the picture," explains Jacky.
For those that are interested in getting more involved in flower photography, Jacky believes that drive is key: "I guess my biggest tip is that if you have a passion for the subject, then the pictures will appear."
So what's next for Jacky photographically? "My next two pieces of equipment I hope to get are a tilt-shift lens and a NIKKOR 50mm f/1.2 manual lens, which is the king of bokeh!"
For more information on Jacky's images and to see more of her stunning photos, take a look at her portfolio, Jacky Parker Floral Art.

Hi, We (Father with two sons) are open for a hunt later this year. Interested in Elephant/Lion hunt... Any offers are welcome and discussion will be continued from there. Thanks
Welcome to AH. That is a way to start with a bang. So, how many of these combos are you after? 1, 2 , 3? Trophy Elephant or Tuskless? What kind of hunt are you looking at for a Lion?
Reinis Welcome to AH. Now the real question is how may of the combo packages are you looking for. 1 - 2 Or 3. With Lion Quota and permits, most will have been taken by now. Now if it 1 lion and 1 elephant WE have Tanzania that these are available in the same block and our Chris Morro may be able to help you as each hunting block is allotted few lion on quota. Namibia - Check with Jerome to see if his group has any slots for this fall. Zimbabwe - WE have Buzz and Martin that maybe could help you out again there are only so many lions to go around. Now 2 or 3 Lion & elephant hunts South Africa will be your country to look at and i am sure some one will post on here for you. Good luck.
If u want a reputable outfitter look toward mozambique with johan calitz. He has a lion leopard buffalo hunt for $74,000. Im sure u can add elephant to that. Theres only one lion on quota left and if u are interested u better hurry. Be very careful as you just did a very risky thing. U just admitted u have a great deal of money and are looking to spend some. The wolves will be pm'ing you. Make sure u post those pm's in the public forum so the members here can help you beat down the bogus offers. And please believe me when i tell you that there are some people that will send you a pm who eill most likely scam you. Please be very careful.
Welcome to AH hope you enjoy the site. As TAP commented look around and find what you would like to do, and remember if it sounds to good to be true it most probably is, Elle and Lion in a combination will be a pricy hunt no matter which way you cut it, decide where you would like to go... PS. Elle ivory from Mozie are not exportable to the US it can go to Europe and some others but not Sate side. There are many reputable outfitters out there, and AH members will guide you into the correct frame of mind into selecting reputable outfitters and areas. Once again the cheapest will not be the best, and not all outfitters are sharks there are more than 1 or 2 reputable guys operating in Africa and a couple of them on this site. My best always.

What kind of materials may I request?
You may request materials not owned by Hunter Library or not available from UNC-Asheville
or Appalachian State.
You can request the following:
Books, book chapters, journal articles.
Recently published books (within the past six months) may not be available via ILL.
Often libraries don't own or lend new books.
The following are not always available:
- Textbooks
- Dissertations/Theses
- Videos/DVDs
- Other Non-Print Media
How many requests can I make?
There is no limit on the number of items you can request from ILL.
- If you have many requests, submit them in prioritized order.
- If you are working on a large project and anticipate a large number of requests, please contact the Interlibrary Loan Office at 828-227-7274.
How long does it take for me to receive my requests?
You should plan ahead when you need to obtain materials through interlibrary loan, because the wait time can be unpredictable. Once we submit a request for your materials, it depends upon how rare an item is, how quickly the lending library processes your request, and shipping times.
- Articles are generally delivered electronically and may take as little as 1 or 2 days, but can take considerably longer.
- Books: usually 1-2 weeks
How will I know that my requests have arrived?
Once the requested item gets to WCU you will receive notification directed to the email address you provided when you created your Loan Shark account that it is ready to pick up.
How long may I keep ILL materials?
This is determined by the library that lends us the item. Due dates are printed clearly on the yellow ILL slip attached to your item. Please request renewals in a timely manner, or return your materials by the due date.
Our ability to obtain materials through interlibrary loan is dependent on our abiding by the rules and conditions set by the lending library. If we fail to return their items to them on time, they may refuse to lend to us in the future.
Patrons who do not return the materials we borrow from other libraries on their behalf may have their Loan Shark privileges suspended or revoked.
You may request renewal of an interlibrary loan item one time so long as the library that lent it to us did not designate the item "non-renewable." To do this, log in to Loan Shark.
- Click "Stuff I have Checked Out" under the View menu on the left.
- In the list of Checked Out Items, click the transaction number of the item you want to renew.
- Click the "Renewal Request" button at the top of the page.
IF the lending library grants the renewal, a new due date will appear under "Check Request Status" within 2 business days.
Where do I return ILL materials?
Return them to the Circulation Desk on or before the due date. Please DO NOT return ILL books in the library's outside book drop.
This is something ILL staff will have to do for you. Please contact the Interlibrary Loan Office at 828-227-7274.
What does "an outstanding request" mean?
It means we have requested the item for you, and are waiting for another library to supply it.
Getting materials through interlibrary loan takes time. If you are in a hurry, contact the Reference Desk at 828-227-7465 (or 866-928-5424 toll free). They may be able to help you find materials free through one of Hunter Library's online databases.

Whats this set up worth? (pics)
So im looking to sell my board, ive been out of the sport for years, and not sure whats its worth. Heres what I know
-K2 Illusions - Board was bought in 2004 for 600-700$ - Bindings are all Lamars ive had around for awile - Its a park board -pretty heavily worn/scratched -kemper boots, made without a liner so please, im gunna sell this locally, what would be a fair price? http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...e/DSCN0691.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...e/DSCN0694.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...e/DSCN0695.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...e/DSCN0696.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...e/DSCN0699.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...e/DSCN0703.jpg |
25 bucks and yes I'm serious.
Son of a monkey! focus button that shit!, it's like looking through someones reading glasses.
lol well I think you could dupe someone into it for $100 flat. For example, if you have a yard sale and you post the board out with the boots in the bindings and a sign that says "ONLY $100 FOR THIS COMPLETE SET UP" I think you'll get a quick buyer (at least thats true here in LA)
if your selling online I'd say you could use better pics too. |
donate it to charity for some good karma!
boots and bindings are worth nothing, board you could get anywhere between $50-$150 depending on who you sell it to and how much they know
Boots and bindings are worth zilch. The board would make a nice bench. :dunno:
why does snowboarding gear do not retain any of its value? granted I come from a photography background and don't know much of resale value of snowboarding gear. I could sell any one of my lenses for 80-85% of what I paid for it.

King's Highway 404 (pronounced "four-oh-four"), also known as Highway 404 and colloquially as the 404, is a 400-series highway in the Canadian province of Ontario connecting Highway 401 and the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) in Toronto with East Gwillimbury. The 50.1-kilometre (31.1 mi) controlled-access highway also connects with Highway 407 in Markham. Highway 404 provides access to the eastern edge of Richmond Hill, Aurora and Newmarket, in addition to the southern edge of Keswick.
Construction on the freeway began soon after the completion of the Don Valley Parkway, with the first section south of Steeles Avenue opening in 1977. Over the next twelve years, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) undertook a continuous construction program to build the freeway to Davis Drive in Newmarket. This was completed on October 24, 1989. Since then, the route has been expanded in width and extended by 15.5 km (9.6 mi) to Woodbine Avenue just south of Ravenshoe Road in the town of East Gwillimbury. Future proposals may one day result in an extension to southeast of Beaverton.
Highway 404 is one of several freeways in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) with High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes; the southbound lane was one of the initial projects in the province and opened on December 13, 2005. The northbound lane opened on July 23, 2007.
Route description[edit]
Running parallel to Highway 400 approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) to the east, Highway 404 extends 50.1 km (31.1 mi) on a north–south orientation between Highway 401 and Ravenshoe Road. There are 16 interchanges along its length, mostly of the Parclo A4 configuration. Exit numbers on the freeway start at 17, suggesting that the length of the Don Valley Parkway was considered in distance calculations; there are no exit numbers posted on the parkway.[2][3]
Officially, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) jurisdiction over the freeway begins as the opposing directions of travel diverge south of the Highway 401 interchange.[note 1] Northbound, two lanes from the DVP are joined by a third from the eastbound collectors of Highway 401. These narrow to two lanes before merging with a single lane from westbound Highway 401 immediately south of Sheppard Avenue. An additional two lanes from westbound Highway 401 converge and form a separate carriageway with no access to Sheppard.[4] Southbound, the freeway is divided into two carriageways, both of which provide access to the DVP. The outer carriageway also provides access from Sheppard and to Highway 401, including the westbound express lanes, while the inner carriageway is intended for DVP-bound traffic. The HOV lane also provides access to westbound Highway 401 via a dedicated tunnel, which passes beneath the other southbound lanes.[5] To the east of Highway 404 is the Consumers Road office park. To the west and north of Sheppard Avenue is Fairview Mall, which has its own connection with the southbound lanes.[2]
The highway continues directly north along the old Woodbine Avenue right-of-way to just south of Steeles Avenue, where it diverges to the west before continuing north. From just north of Sheppard, a northbound HOV lane is present alongside the central median. Southbound, the HOV lane continues as far as Highway 401. Alongside Highway 404 to the east is an industrial warehouse and commercial office area, while on the west is a suburban subdivision of North York. Northbound, the freeway is six lanes wide from Sheppard Avenue to Finch Avenue, where one lane diverges onto an off-ramp, re-emerging north of Finch. Southbound, it is six lanes wide from Steeles south to Sheppard.[2]
At Steeles Avenue, the freeway enters the Regional Municipality of York. To the east are industrial units, while on the west are residential suburbs. This land-use persists north to the Highway 407 ETR interchange, a multi-level stack interchange with two flyovers. North of Highway 407, the freeway crosses Highway 7, where the HOV lanes transition to standard through lanes. The freeway passes west of Buttonville Airport and encounters an interchange with 16th Avenue. It narrows and the central barrier ends; a grass median taking its place between the opposing lanes. The land-use density continues to drop, with the appearance of some open spaces and farms interspersed with industrial and commercial buildings. By 19th Avenue, just north of the Honda Canada headquarters in Markham, the land-use is agricultural on both sides of Highway 404. Highway 404 continues north, forming the eastern boundary of the municipalities of Richmond Hill, Aurora and Newmarket. North of Wellington Street, the highway reduces in width to four lanes, which is its configuration north through East Gwillimbury.[6] The route continues, passing east of the community of Sharon, eventually curving northeast and terminating at an at-grade intersection with Woodbine Avenue immediately south of Ravenshoe Road (York Regional Road 32).[2]
Initial construction[edit]
A freeway east of Highway 11 was planned as early as 1954, when the province extended Highway 48 south from Port Bolster. A large cloverleaf interchange was constructed with the Toronto Bypass, and plans formulated for a dual highway around the east side of Lake Simcoe, connecting with Highway 11 near Orillia or Gravenhurst. This route was dropped when Metropolitan Toronto began planning for the northern extension of the DVP in 1957, as subdivisions encroached upon Woodbine Avenue north of Highway 401. The six-lane expressway was to follow the alignment of Woodbine from its southern terminus at Lawrence Avenue to north of Steeles Avenue, where the Department of Highways (DOH) would continue the road as a "new King's Highway".[3]
In 1959, the DOH announced that they would construct and maintain the new route once the DVP was completed to Highway 401 and designate it Highway 404.[7] The proposed route of the freeway was presented at a special delegation on December 13, 1960 by Harold Barry, a representative of the department.[8] Design work started in 1973,[9] and construction began following the awarding of a C$6.9 million contract in March 1976. This contract included construction of the Finch Avenue interchange, overpasses at McNicoll and Van Horne Avenues and 4.5 km (2.8 mi) of six-lane freeway between Sheppard and Steeles Avenues.[10][11] Shortly thereafter, on April 20, Ernest Avenue and Van Horne Avenue were closed to traffic at Woodbine.[12] The first section of Highway 404 between Highway 401 and Steeles Avenue opened in late 1977, including the flyover ramp from southbound Woodbine Avenue.[13] The freeway was separated by a grass median with a steel beam acting as a barrier between the lanes. Construction north of Toronto proceeded quickly, with the contract for the section from Steeles to Highway 7 being awarded in 1976[13] and the section opening on November 10, 1978.[14] The next extension, to Stouffville Road (then known as the Gormley Side Road), was opened ceremoniously on December 9, 1980 by minister James Snow;[15] the segment north of Highway 7 was four lanes wide.[16]
The section of Highway 404 north of Stouffville Road was the subject of considerable controversy when work began to clear the route on May 15, 1981 before the completion of an environmental assessment. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications was charged with violating the newly enacted Environmental Assessment Act, which it contested came into effect after construction of the Highway 404 extension had begun.[17] Minister James Snow was charged with violating the act, and called upon to resign. The Minister did not resign, but paid a $3,500 fine. Despite the issues surrounding it, the extension between Stouffville Road and Bloomington Road was opened ceremoniously on the morning of August 10, 1982.[18]
Construction on the segment north of Bloomington to Aurora Sideroad was already in progress by this point. It was opened to traffic in late September 1985.[19] Construction on the 6.5 km (4.0 mi) section from Wellington Street to Davis Drive began in early 1986, and the section opened to traffic on October 24, 1989 at 8:30 am. This final segment cost $22.1 million, ending the continuous construction program undertaken since 1973 at a cost of $83.3 million.[9]
Studies and environmental assessments into various extensions began almost immediately after the completion of the route to Newmarket in 1989; it would take over a decade for any northward progression to take place. In the interim period, work went into expanding the six lane freeway through Toronto and Markham. In early 1998, the MTO announced plans for two contracts to widen Highway 404 south of Highway 7. The first contract converted the grass median into an additional lane in each direction with a central barrier between them. High-mast lighting was also installed, replacing the unique luminaires used on the freeway. The second contract resulted in an additional lane in each direction on the outside of the existing freeway south of Steeles Avenue, making it ten lanes wide. The proposal to eventually convert the inner lanes into HOV lanes was announced at the same time.[20] The next year, Highway 404 was widened to six lanes between Highway 7 and Major Mackenzie Drive.[6]
On June 23, 1998 the Minister of Transportation, Tony Clement, made a formal agreement with the Region of York to expand the route through the region. The MTO formally announced this on August 28, 2000: a three contract project to widen and extend Highway 404. The first contract added an additional lane in each direction in the grass median from Major Mackenzie Drive to Bloomington Road. A second contract then extended those two lanes north to Aurora Sideroad. These two projects both began in the summer of 2001 and were completed in December.[6] The third contract called for a four lane extension from Davis Drive to Green Lane and the reconstruction of Green Lane into a four-laned arterial road between Leslie Street and Woodbine Avenue.[21] This contract began shortly after the announcement in September 2000. The extension was opened to traffic on February 8, 2002 at a ceremony attended by York North MPP Julia Munro and York Regional Chair Bill Fisch.[22][23]
On June 19, 2003, Transportation Minister and Oak Ridges MPP Frank Klees opened a new interchange at Regional Road 73 (16th Avenue). Traffic was permitted onto the ramp following the ceremony, also attended by Thornhill MPP Tina Molinari.[24]
One of the three original HOV lanes in Ontario opened on Highway 404 in late 2005; the other two were the lanes on Highway 403. In early 2004, construction began on a new ramp to westbound Highway 401, curving beneath the southbound lanes of Highway 404. On December 13, 2005, the southbound HOV lane was opened to traffic.[25] Work on the northbound HOV lane began shortly thereafter, opening at 8:30 am on Monday, July 23, 2007.[26]
On May 16, 2006, the MTO announced plans to extend Highway 404 by 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Green Lane to Ravenshoe Road at the south end of Keswick. The first contracts were awarded later that year for the construction of the northbound bridge over Green Lane,[27] followed by two structures over Mount Albert Road, west of Woodbine Avenue, begun in late 2008 and completed in 2009.[28][29] By April 2011, the extension had been cleared and graded.[30] Completion was originally scheduled for December 15, 2012 with landscaping work to continue the following spring.[31][32] However, due to soil conditions and utility relocation issues, the project was delayed by nearly two years. The C$99 million extension opened on September 17, 2014.[33]
Long term proposals by the province call for Highway 404 to be extended to Highway 12, between Sunderland and Beaverton. This extension would follow a new alignment to Port Bolster, east of which the freeway would incorporate the existing two lanes of Highway 48. The extension has drawn criticism from various environmental groups who claim it will only serve to accelerate urban sprawl north of Toronto.[34]
