Béla Tarr (born July 21, 1955 in Pécs, Hungary) is a Hungarian film director, screenwriter and two times actor.
Tarr was born in Pécs, but grew up in Budapest in a working class family. His mother took him to a casting by the Hungarian national television (MTV) at the age of 10 and he finally won the role of the protagonist's son in a TV-drama adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Apart from a smaller role in Miklós Jancsó's 1986 film Szörnyek évadja (Season of Monsters), Tarr never tried acting again. He began to realize his interests with film-making at the age of 16 by making amateur films and later working as a caretaker at a national House for Culture and Recreation. Most of his amateur works were documentaries, mostly about the life of workers or poor people in urban Hungary. His amateur work brought him to the attention of the Béla Balázs Studios (named in honor of the Hungarian cinema theorist, Béla Balázs), which helped fund Tarr's 1977 feature debut Családi tűzfészek (Family Nest) at the age of 22. Tarr shot the film without any budget with non-professional actors (participating in the film only by "friendship" and without any salary) and on original locations in six days. The film was faithful to the "Budapest School" or "documentarist" style popular at the time within Béla Balázs Studios, maintaining absolute social-realism on screen. Many critics thought they detected in the film an influence from the directorial work of John Cassavetes, though Tarr denied having seen any of Cassavetes's films prior to shooting Családi tűzfészek. (The film was eventually released in 1979).
After completing "Családi tűzfészek" Tarr began his studies in the Hungarian School of Theatrical and Cinematic Arts. The 1980 piece Szabadgyalog (The Outsider) and the following year's Panelkapcsolat (The Prefab People) continued in much the same vein with smaller changes in style. The latter was the first film by Tarr to feature professional actors in the leading roles. With a 1982 television adaptation of Macbeth, his work began to change dramatically; comprised of only two shots, the first shot (before the main title) was five minutes long, with the second 57 minutes in length. Not only did Tarr's visual sensibility move from raw close-ups to more abstract mediums and long shots, but also his philosophical sensibility shifted from grim realism to a more metaphysical outlook similar to that of Andrei Tarkovsky. Tarr himself considers Rainer Werner Fassbinder as his main influence and idol.
After 1984's Őszi almanach (Almanac of Fall), Tarr (who had written his first four features alone) began collaborating with Hungarian novelist László Krasznahorkai for 1988's Kárhozat (Damnation). A planned adaptation of Krasznahorkai's epic novel Satantango took over seven years to realize. The 415-minute film finally appeared to international acclaim in 1994. After the epic he released a 35-minute film Journey on the Plain in 1995 and fell into silence until the 2000 film Werckmeister Harmóniák (Werckmeister Harmonies), occasionally shot in very intense circumstances. The film itself was very warmly welcomed by critics and the Festival circuit in general.
Many if not most of the shots in these later films are up to eleven minutes long. It may take months to do a single shot. The camera swoops, glides, and soars. It circles the characters, it moves from scene to scene. It may, as in "Satantango," travel with a herd of cows around a village, or follow the nocturnal peregrinations of an obese agoraphobic drunk who is forced to leave his house because he's run out of booze.
After Werckmeister he began filming The Man From London an adaptation of Georges Simenon's novel. It was scheduled to be released at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival in May, but production had to be shut down because of the suicide of producer Humbert Balsan on February 10, 2005 and there were disputes with the other producers over a possible change in the film's financing. Finally it was greenlighted and could be finished in 2007. It premiered on the Cannes Film Festival the same year and was released worldwide in 2008.
For many years, none of his work was available on DVD (except in Japan). But recently, Werckmeister Harmonies and Damnation have been made available on a two-disc DVD in Europe, courtesy of Artificial Eye. Both films are now available in North America on separate DVDs from Facets Video. Tarr's early works; Family Nest, The Outsider, and The Prefab People; are also available on DVD in the USA, courtesy of Facets. Facets was supposed to release Satantango on DVD on November 28th, 2006, but was delayed until July 22, 2008. ""Artificial Eye"" released the film on November 14th, 2006. A comparison of the two DVD editions has been posted at

"So, I finally decided that I needed personal trainer to motivate me to exercise. I've gone to a few trainers over the years but it wasn't until I found Juliet that I realized what it means to have "personalized" training. She has a multi-faceted approach to training. Not only does she focus on aerobic exercise for cardio health and resistance training for muscle fitness but she also focuses on flexability exercises and training for balance, agility and coordination. She is professional and is always there to provide that little push to keep me going. After just four months of training, I look more fit and feel healthier than I have in years. Lately people have come up to me to say how good I look. Thanks goes to Juliet, she is pretty much AWESOME!" - Shirley Chang
"I've been with Juliet for almost 2 years... about 6 months after starting training, I sprained my ankle and she immediately modified my workout to accommodate the injury.
Due to misdiagnosis from the doctor's, it was discovered that I had a couple torn ligaments and required surgery. She was awesome during this process! She reserved my normal workout time for when I was ready to come back to training after the surgery and has been very proactive in my recovery.
Additionally, Juliet has spoken with my physical therapists to incorporate their suggestions for a speedier recovery into my workout, is very conscientious about not aggravating the injury, and all the while still pushing me to do my best!
She even went above and beyond the call of duty for a trainer by taking me to the doctor after my surgery to get the cast cut off when I couldn't find a ride!
I highly recommend her as a great trainer and person." - Becky Harrison
"I've been training with Juliet for over two years. Even with my irregular schedule, I have managed to maintain a healthy weight and athletic physique thanks to her training and the techniques she has taught me.
Before I trained with Juliet, my weight fluctuated. I could never seem to keep it off and maintain. Her method of resistance and core training really works. I lost 15lbs in the first month of training, and built muscle.
I have been within the same 10lbs range ever since that weight loss, and when I step up the amount of sessions per month, I look and feel even better. Juliet is also very knowledgable in the areas of physiology and ergonomics. Being a professional drummer, I have often picked her brain about proper body movements and posture. Her advice has always helped.
I can't recommend Juliet enough. She's a must if you care about your body and your appearance." - Steve Hass
"Juliet is the best trainer I have ever used. She is devoted to her clients' well-being, dedicated to their improvement and enthusiastic about their progress. She has trained me for about 5 years and, as a result of her knowledge and hard work, my aches and pains have disappeared, my osteoporosis is no longer, and my body has changed (for the better).
Not only that, but I'm much stronger and have more energy.
There is no one I would recommend more highly." - Sue Salenger
"Juliet is great!!! She is very dedicated and helpful in keeping you motivated. You can tell you are working with a professional that cares about you.
She keeps in mind your previous injuries to design a workout that can help you without harming you.
I highly recommend her!! It is hard to find personal trainers as good and caring as her!!!" - Alexandra Lee
"To find a personal trainer in LA all one has to do is:
a) throw a rock, b) swing a dead cat, or c) go through an exhaustive research and interview process.
For me the answer was C. I interviewed 6 different trainers in the Hollywood/LA/Studio City area and made my choice - Juliet.
I have several injuries due to poor training technique and age (50!) and I needed someone who could communicate and work with my physical therapist as well as advise me on proper nutrition, weight training, goal setting and motivation. Most of the trainers were proficient in some areas but weak in others. Juliet has the perfect combination of skills and experience. But that is only the beginning.
Juliet is also sweet, kind, and really hilarious (at the appropriate time, of course - she does not spend our sessions lobbing one-liners at me). She has a no-nonsense approach to fitness and a broad range of knowledge on the most up to date training and nutrition approaches/theories. She is therefore able to adjust every workout appropriately to accommodate whatever complication you might bring her. For me it has been labral tears, patellar problems and rotator cuff shenanigans. She works carefully through every session ensuring a great workout with little risk of compounding the injuries.
Her knowledge of proper nutrition is also invaluable. I have been working with her for only a few months and my progress has been remarkable.
I could go on and on. I have just re-signed with Juliet for 16 more sessions and I look forward to every session. Please feel free to contact me for additional details about this wonderful professional." - Neil Monaco

N.D. PSC grants Legumex licenseThe North Dakota Public Service Commission on Aug. 1 granted Legumex Walker Sunflower LLC its requests for grain handling licenses on old Anderson Seed Co. locations in Durbin and Selz, N.D.
By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
BISMARCK, N.D. — The North Dakota Public Service Commission on Aug. 1 granted Legumex Walker Sunflower LLC its requests for grain handling licenses on old Anderson Seed Co. locations in Durbin and Selz, N.D. The PSC will fight, however, to get $1.6 million it thinks is owed to farmers because of a state grain lien law.
Anderson Seed, a sunflower processor, based in Mentor, Minn., stopped buying grain in February and legally was declared insolvent on April 9. Many assets of Anderson Seed and all of St. Hilaire (Minn.) Seed, a dry edible bean company, in February were sold to Legumex Walker of Seattle, Wash., whose parent company is in Winnipeg, Man.
Anderson Seed had North Dakota warehouse licenses that expired July 31 at Durbin and Selz, making the discontinuance issue moot, the PSC decided. Legumex Walker purchased most assets of Anderson Seed in North Dakota and Minnesota, and has a pending attempt to purchase the company's Redfield, S.D., plant. Durbin has a 305,000-bushel grain storage site and Selz can hold 347,000 bushels.
At its meeting Aug. 1, the North Dakota PSC asked Jon Jensen, based in Grand Forks, N.D., the agency's temporary special assistant North Dakota Attorney General, to oppose Legumex Walker Sunflower LLC's assertion in the insolvency case. Legumex is asserting that its purchases of seed inventories at Anderson Seed facilities in North Dakota were in the "ordinary course of business."
The PSC has received claims from farmers totaling about $2.7 million. That includes $2.1 million in cash claims and $760,000 in credit sales. The agency hasn't yet evaluated whether the figures are accurate or which state they belong in, says Illona Jeffcoat-Sacco, the PSC's regular counsel. She says the agency is still sorting out claims from the bond and from an indemnity fund in North Dakota that pays out only on price-later contract claims.
Jensen told commissioners he'd file a motion within two weeks with Cass County District Judge Wickham Corwin in Fargo, N.D. He said it seems clear Anderson Seed was "in the process of liquidating all of its inventory," when selling the grain. He added that it appears Legumex Walker is "hoping to avoid the statutory producer liens that North Dakota law provides."
Jensen noted the PSC has separately reached an agreement with Legumex in which the company will pay nearly $1.6 million to farmers if Corwin decides against its claim. In urging Jensen to fight the Legumex Walker claim, PSC Commissioner Kevin Cramer suggested lawyer fees for the motion effort be paid from the $1.6 million.
Jensen said there may be complications surrounding who gets paid because Anderson Seed's business was not only in North Dakota, but also in Minnesota and South Dakota. A court may need to decide whether North Dakota could recover the funds only for farmers in that state, or whether the funds would be pooled for distribution to the other two states as well, he said. Cramer suggested Jensen's legal costs on that issue be recovered from the amount received from the motion.
"At least initially, it appears all or a majority of the seed that Legumex purchased, which they would be then providing compensation for, was held in North Dakota facilities," Jensen said. It gets tricky because some of the seed was delivered from out-of-state producers, he added. Former PSC Commissioner Tony Clark in early May told Agweek that Legumex Walker had made some transactions on Jan. 13 with a final value of $480,000.
Commissioner Bonny Fetch, an administrative law judge, said the Anderson Seed issue is a "hot item" among counterparts. She said Minnesota and South Dakota counterparts characterized the case as looming and large.
"In South Dakota, it's a pot ready to boil over," Fetch said. She didn't know what actions South Dakota will pursue, but her informal talks with an official from that state indicate legal action may be coming. "I think they are maybe still waiting to see what we're going to be doing," she said.
South Dakotans have lost an estimated $2.6 million, according to the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission, which has given farmers up until Sept. 18 to file claims against a $100,000 bond.
In other pending cases involving other failed North Dakota grain elevators, the PSC has:
•Renewed the grain buying license for Falkirk (N.D.) Farmers Elevator. The elevator still has some dry bean inventory at Falkirk, but the license is discontinued for the company's Hazen, N.D., facility. No other license applications have been submitted from anyone else at Falkirk. Cash claimants have been paid, the PSC said, but the agency has not been notified of the status of credit sales contracts.
•Filed briefs in the Grabanski Grain, Grafton, N.D., federal bankruptcy case. After the briefs, due Aug. 3, the bankruptcy judge will decide the status of unpaid claims. The PSC is recommending paying out the cash claims at 100 percent, as they represent a smaller amount than the bond. Unpaid credit sales contracts could be covered at 80 percent by a state indemnity fund.

Many thanks to fantastic volunteers who rang the bell for The Salvation Army to make a difference for so many in Tippecanoe County!
IU and Purdue Alum ring out some friendly competition to raise much needed dollars. It's a holiday tradition that's part rivalry but mostly about giving. Each holiday season, local Purdue and IU alumni ring at the same location for the same amount of time on two different days, hoping to raise more money than the other group.
"I grew up in Bloomington and never pass up an opportunity to beat IU, even if this is the only thing we beat them at this year," said Max Bales of West Lafayette. As a board member of the Purdue Club of Tippecanoe County, Bales said he's volunteered for the bell ringing since he moved back to the area a few years ago.
Bob Modlin, who was ringing for the IU Alumni Association West Central Indiana Chapter, said he moved to Greater Lafayette in the 1960s. He thinks the rivalry between the universities still is strong.
"A lot of people ask, 'What do you got an IU club here for?' " he said.
Every second that a bell rings brings the opportunity for giving – giving so that a neighbor's lights can stay on this month, children will have food to eat, and homes can stay warm. What a tremendous gift to give someone this Christmas!

The Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality has been a fixture in The University of Texas (UT) Department of History since 2002, offering a forum for graduate students and faculty to present papers and works-in-progress for discussion in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere.
Our goals are to build a community of scholars interested in exploring the benefits and challenges of incorporating issues of gender and sexuality into their work, and to maintain a historically informed discussion about the field of gender and sexuality studies across academic disciplines. Because our primary focus is to include presenters engaging in different methods and styles of research, gender and sexuality are not topics that we see as narrowly defined. Instead, our goal is to explore the creative and scholarly potential of gender and sexuality as fields of inquiry.
Dr. Jacqueline Jones, panelist at Gender Symposium discussion on "Gender at Work,"
Sept. 23, 2010
When and where we meet
The symposium meets every other week to discuss student papers or pre-circulated chapters, hold panel discussions, or listen to a talk by a faculty member or visiting scholar. Typically, meetings last about two hours and are held on Fridays at 12noon-2:00 p.m. in the Garrison Hall Conference Room 1.102. Our meetings are open to all.
Each year, the symposium invites prominent outside scholars in gender or sexuality studies to campus for a formal talk, as well as activities that offer the visiting scholar the opportunity to meet and discuss research with UT graduate students from a variety of disciplines.
Graduate student-oriented and graduate-run organization
As a graduate student-oriented and graduate student-run organization the symposium maintains a commitment to offering grad students opportunities to have their work reviewed by peers, create ties with students across disciplines, and build relationships with faculty members and visiting scholars. We are funded primarily by the History Department and the Office of the Dean of Liberal Arts, but receive additional funding for special programs from other programs or departments at UT. The faculty advisor is Professor Laurie Green.
Want to participate?
To participate in the symposium as a presenter, panelist, speaker, performer, etc., please see our Call for Presenters page or directly contact the symposium's organizers, Samantha R. Rubino and Michelle Daneri at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Camden Centre 'House of Nations', 1 Judd Street, London WC1H 9JE (Transport Euston or King's Cross St Pancras)
This special Olympic charity event features a first time London screening of 'Return to Mexico City' and Tommie Smith in a live Q&A
Return to Mexico City Narrated by Keifer Sutherland, is an award-winning documentary about the lives of Olympic athletes Dr Tommie Smith, and John Wesley Carlos, who shot to fame during the 1968 Olympics, when they performed the black power salute upon collection of their medals for the 200 meter dash finals. After setting a new world record time of 19.83 seconds, gold medallist Dr. Tommie Smith and bronze medal winner John Wesley Carlos bowed their heads and raised a black-gloved fist toward the sky as the national anthem played.
Now one of the most enduring pictures in the history of sport, the protest made by Tommie Smith and John Carlos represented not only the American struggle for racial equality but also the universal struggle for basic human rights.
In this inspirational talk, Olympic gold-medallist and sports icon Dr. Tommie Smith discusses his experiences of the Olympic Committee, his relationship with other athletes, his personal beliefs, and his work with young athletes today.
This afternoon event will attended by star names from the world of sport and entertainment.
Finally, we invite people who wish to stay on afterwards to have a drink and some food before watching Mo Farrah in his bid for gold in the 5000m. Plus the relay sprint finals.

Ah, the Radian - one of the first bikes I ever bought "new" ( for me that means under 4yrs old) - excellent bike - with the 2 exceptions you have already noted - the lack of range, and the lack of wind protection.
Anyways, looking forward to reading about your adventures.

Great start to your RR. And a trip with real purpose too.
If you had done your RR in real time I would have been happy to buy you a meal and a tank of gas as you passed throuh Lexington. Maybe next time.
My neighbor got a Radian last summer and rides it a lot compared to the bikes he had before. I'll show him your thread to show him what his bike is really capable of.
Looking forward to more.

Day 2: IN - MO (510mi)
Day Two:
May 22, 2012
Lanesville, IN Oak Grove, MO (510 miles)
Some things in life are just providential. If Ive learned anything from this trip, thats the most consistent lesson I have experienced. When I learned about tentspace on ADV I started searching for people on my route to put me up for the night. I was especially interested in finding people early on in my trip knowing that I was inexperienced with motorcycle maintenance. My primary concern was if something went wrong with the bike, I would be screwed. So I made an effort in my planning to be sure that in my first week of riding Id be heading towards someone with motorcycle experience.
Unfortunately, out of five or six people on tentspace that I contacted throughout the states prior to my leaving Virginia, only two responded to my request. One however had relocated and was unavailable to host me. But thankfully enough TooTallRacing was excited to provide a bed and warm meal for me on just the first night of my long journey. After a few emails back and forth once TTR heard where I was headed, he informed me about his own adventure to Alaska and back last summer on his BMW1200GS. He sent me some of his pictures which only got me more excited to be going to Alaska.
When I got to his house, he and his wife had a spaghetti dinner and cold beer waiting. We enjoyed talking about his trip and he was full of suggestions on routes to take and places to stay such as Thompsons Eagle Claw motorcycle campground in Tok. This is still one of my favorite places on the whole trip. He even gave me some contacts in Anchorage that later ended up providing the most important support to me.
In the morning we had some coffee with coffee cake and TTR showed me his decorated garage with his bikes, photos, and license plates. Without much of a plan for the day I thanked him, said goodbye, and headed west hoping to camp somewhere past Kansas City. I went through Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri through lots of fields and strong wind, but the sky was blue and the air was warm.
I felt comfortable riding all day except for fighting the wind. I learned quickly how to ride from my core so I wouldnt exhaust myself bracing with my arms and legs. I found it especially tricky learning to balance the bike through all that wind while passing eighteen-wheelers. Feeling the counter-wind-effect while passing and anticipating the degree of gust that was going to hit me after passing was difficult not to overcorrect. It slowed me down and tired me enough that I didnt make it all the way to Kansas City.
At some point in the middle of the day just after stopping for gas I was getting on the highway when my oil light came on. Of course I immediately panicked and pulled over in the most un-ideal location; the on- ramp to a highway and a sloped gravel shoulder. I struggled attempting to get the bike on the centerstand and was unsuccessful. I called my mentor in Virginia freaking out and of course all he says is, How many miles have you been since you left Virginia? (Probably 700) Well put some oil in it! I felt like an idiot .duh!
I filled the bike with ¼ quart oil and of course the light went off. I rode some more and ended up stopping for the day at a KOA just 30 miles from Kansas City. After unloading all my gear I was able to get the bike on its centerstand at a flat location and check the oil. It definitely didnt have much so I topped it off and hoped for the best. I had just enough daylight to set up camp and make dinner with my alcohol stove. It wasnt exactly my style of camping next to cars and families close to the highway but it worked for the night. I wanted to get some good rest for an early start tomorrow and hopefully make it all the way to Denver.
Quote of the day:
This is an excerpt from my journal ..Camping next to a family of kids. Baby wont stop screaming. I want to smother it.
May the road rise up to meet you

There are many in the motorcycle community who hold the UJM in small regard. Pay them no mind! Your mentor showed good sense in recommending your Radian. The wave of Japanese I-4s was a revolution in power, design elegance, & reliability. There are a host of good reasons that they became "universal". BTW....I even think that the Radian is still a handsome bike, despite it's age (and the unfortunate, but probably necessary, plastic windshield)

Day 3: MO-CO (660mi)
Day Three:
May 23, 2012
Oak Grove, MO – Denver, CO: 660mi
I woke up in Oak Grove to a beautiful morning with pink and orange sky. I was excited to get on the road fast hoping to get to Denver and stay with an old friend I hadn't seen in 14 years. While I was packing up the bike I saw a tall man just two sites down from me with his gorgeous Rhodesian ridgeback. They came meandering by and I saw him eyeing the bike while I was eyeing his dog. He asked where I was headed and when I told him Alaska he said he wished he was on the same trip. However, he was on his way back home to California in his new Rubicon jeep.
As it turns out this was the meeting of another Adventure Rider, LongTallSally….again, another providential encounter on this trip. We talked for an hour about good rides and good bikes as well as some of his own adventures. It just so happened I was planning on being in California later in the summer to work at the San Francisco Zoo after riding to Alaska and he lived in the Bay area. So I got thorough advice on sites to see and routes to take while traveling through California, not to mention, a friend to ride with while I was there.
The time flew by while we chatted so I told him my plans on getting to Denver, anxious it was getting late. It turned out he too was headed there for the night to meet a friend. We exchanged numbers and I got a head start leaving the campground but it was nice to know he'd be right behind me.
I rode through the entire state of Kansas that day with a wind advisory of 35mph gusts of wind. I had to stay tight on the bike, knees and elbows tucked, leaning forward over the tank and holding my head just above the tachometer. My neck got sore from bracing and I felt the bike leaning left the whole day to compensate. When I got off for gas I felt as if I was unable to stand straight and my spine was permanently kinked to the left.
At one point I could see a dust storm like a mini tornado spinning across the ground. It was moving towards the road and I anticipated it may cross the same time as myself. Sure enough I watched it get closer to the road as I got closer to it and I braced myself while I rode through it. It felt just like the eye of a storm, remarkably quiet in the middle.
Kansas may be the worst state I have been through, hence my riding through it as fast as possible. However, I found it interesting seeing the landscape change. The flat plains on the east are yellow with fields of wind turbines. As you head west the plains develop small hills and the land turns greener and scattered with oil rigs. Yup, that's about it.
After one of my many stops for gas, LongTallSally eventually passed me on the road. I rode behind him for awhile until I eventually lost him as I needed to stop AGAIN for gas. As I crossed into Colorado I could feel the temperature starting to drop and the sky looked like rain. I spent the last hour riding in one of the heaviest downpours of my trip. I could hardly see through my visor and was having to crack it open to see the lines on the road which then just stung my face with sharp rain. My hands went cold and numb with my gloves soaked through. I knew my next investment in Denver would be proper gloves.
There weren't any cars to follow and then suddenly I saw lights behind me and sure enough it was LongTallSally. Knowing my predicament and still 30 miles from Denver he got in front of me and gave me lights to follow into the city. It was rush hour and I was thankful to have him in front keeping an eye on me.
The rain subsided and LongTallSally pulled off the highway to his destination knowing I was okay while I continued to my friend's house. Just before getting there I saw the car in front of me go through a flooded section of road. All I saw was the wave of water tower over the driver's window. I tried not to panic knowing I had no choice but to ride through what looked like a foot of water. I maintained the throttle and told myself not to touch the break and we glided through getting only my feet submerged.
When I made it to my friends I felt it was a miracle. It may not be the longest day of my trip but certainly the most miles along with the most challenging weather. It is just providential I made it, thanks to LongTallSally.
Plan tomorrow:
Get some fucking waterproof gloves!
Quote of the day:
I stopped at a gas station and a cute hippie chick came up to me and said, "You passed me on the highway back there. I like your bike. I can't believe you're a girl!"
May the road rise up to meet you
And wind be always at your back

Your body is made up of some 60 trillion cells. In every moment of every day, these cells conduct more than a million different kinds of biochemical reactions. Health is simply the reflection of how efficiently these reactions occur.
Unfortunately, cells can't always work as they should. When they lack energy, raw materials or "trigger" nutrients, at least some of their chores are left undone. The same is true is they're damaged by free radicals, bad fats, or excess sugar.
Although Pure Essence is only 13 years old, our founder and chief formulator has been designing supplements for over 30 years. In 1984, he founded Rainbow Light Nutritional Systems, Inc., where he created the world's first "food-based" supplements, the world's first "green food" complexes, the world's first line of digestive enzymes, the world's first therapeutic enzyme products, and so on. So, even if you've never used a Pure Essence product, you've used something that he created, or that his creations inspired.
Now, with the Cellular Concept of Health as his guide, he's created the world's first supplements that combine the best of evidence based nutrition with the ancient wisdom of the world's great holistic medical systems. That means that our multiples provide thousands of phytonutrients that are missing in others; nutrients that are absolutely vital to complete cellular health. And, it means that our condition and organ specific formulas are more supportive than any others you will find.
In short, the Cellular Concept of Health translates into supplements and nutraceuticals that not only support health, but actually build it. This means, in turn, that you'll feel better, stronger, more energetic and more alive with our products than with any other supplements on Earth. It also means that in every product we make, you'll address not just symptoms, but they're underlying cause.
There has simply never before been anything like Pure Essence. Of course, words are cheap. But, experience is not, and our products provide the ultimate nutritional experience. Because of that, they're guaranteed beyond any condition.
So, the next time you're deciding on whose product to use, give us a try. We cost a bit more, because our products contain so much more than others. But, it's what they contain that produces the results they provide.
Educating our customers is the cornerstone of all that we do at Pure Essence Labs. It is our hope that each time we educate a customer that we increase the level of accountability to our competitors. Please stop by our website frequently to check for new updates as they become available.

TUESDAY - April 26, 2011
WILMINGTON - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that in federal court today Senior United States District Judge James C. Fox sentenced ERIC RICARDO DAVIS, 21, Tarboro, North Carolina, to 106 months' imprisonment followed by three years supervised release.
A Federal Grand Jury returned a Criminal Indictment on July 16, 2010. On January 31, 2011, DAVIS pled guilty to unlawful possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(1) and 924.
According to the investigation, officers responded to a shooting near the high school on February 11, 2010, and found the victim had been robbed and shot in the leg twice. DAVIS was spotted fleeing the area shortly after the shooting. Officers learned that DAVIS and another person forced the victim to walk with them at gunpoint while they went through his pockets. The victim fled and DAVIS and his companion began shooting at the victim. When DAVIS was arrested, the victim's cell phone was found on DAVIS, along with one round of ammunition. After his arrest, DAVIS waived his right to silence and admitted that he shot the victim because he believed that the victim was the person who shot him several days earlier.
DAVIS was previously convicted of possession of a weapon of mass destruction, common law robbery, and a previous conviction of possession of a firearm by a felon.
This case was part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods(PSN) initiative which encourages federal, state, and local agencies to cooperate in a unified "team effort" against gun crime, targeting repeat offenders who continually plague their communities.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Rocky Mount Police Department. Special Assistant United States Attorney Glenn Perry was the assigned Prosecutor.Mr. Perry is a prosecutor with the Pitt County District Attorney's Office.District Attorney Clark Everett has assigned him to the United States Attorney's Office to prosecute federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force criminal matters.This has been made possible by a grant funded by the Governor's Crime Commission.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

Slime- whats your experience?

If by slime you really mean the product, Slime, as in the green stuff you pump in and leave, it's only mediocre in my experience. I've used it in wheelbarrows and lawn tractors and the like. It helped a bit on those that already had leaks. Generally though, after a trying Slime we'd replace the offending tire & tube. Never found it to work worth a darn on bead leaks or tubes. No experience with the pre-slimed or coated tubes.
If you mean generic fix-a-flat cans of goo, I've had them work ok on tubeless tires with a nail hole or such. Very messy, but reasonably effective. Will not work with a ruptured tube.
As for other Slime like prevatives, I've had some work quite well, but most did not.
I still have my tire plugs and tube patches, and they get used. Haven't been able to beat them with any cans of goo. I do tend to like the cans of goo in my lawnmower and wheelbarrow tires and such. Things that get ignored for months until they are flat. Seem to have less problems with them when gooed.

Top Gear On Ice: Range Rover Evoque vs Audi Q3
Do these suburban show-offs have the all-weather traction to match their pseudo-suv overcoats?
Posted: 05 Apr 2012
Last week, this road was under attack from WRC cars, on shakedown before Rally Sweden... sweeping between snow banks, oblivious to what lay beneath. If you were to cut out a portion of this surface, it would look like some sort of frosty sandwich. Gravel at the bottom, snow in the middle, icy crust on top. And today, we've added a garnish of Range Rover, a three-d oor Evoque in festive red. With its terrain-response system in the most suitable setting - Grass, Gravel and Snow - it digs down into the layers, drawing two lines in the tundra, up to its wheelnuts in winter.

Former Education minister Joseph Kamotho has hit back at Mutula Kilonzo for alleging that he lied to teachers over a pay hike 15 years ago.
Kamotho, who was a long serving minister in President Moi's government said he never politicised the teacher's issue. While refuting claims by Mutula, that he lied to teachers during 1997 salary increment deal, Kamotho said he honored the deal with the teachers at that time.
"I paid teachers as agreed in their first deal in 1997 and I want Kenyans to know that I never lied in the deal that was entered between teacher's representatives (Knut), the Ministry of Education and Teachers Remuneration Commission," he said. Following the current teachers strike which has paralyzed learning countrywide, Mutula has accused Kamotho of playing games with teachers over the 300 per cent salary increase.
The teachers have downed tools asking the government to honour the completion of a 300 per cent pay hike agreement it entered with them 1n 1997. "I did not lie to teachers over their increment, I have never lied to teachers and what we agreed was that i was to pay them 34 per cent salary hike and I did so," he said yesterday in Kirungu Catholic Church during a memorial service for Mzee Johnston Mwethera in Mathioya.
"I sat down with their (teachers) leaders, TSC (Teachers Service Commission) and we strike a deal which I completely honored," he added while. Kamotho claimed the teachers entered a second deal with president Moi and therefore he should not be blamed for failing to pay them.
"They met with Moi together with TSC and my work as a minister was to gazette the agreement and not to pay up, I later moved to another ministry," he said. Kamotho said the government was to pay teachers a 300 per cent hike in five fiscal years but they refused (1997). He said the teachers went to Moi's home in Kabarak where Moi agree to pay them in three years.

Or to those who are looking to connect Asperger's Syndrome or video games with sprees of violence.
Please, from someone who has sat in a somewhat similar, yet entirely different seat as the Newtown families impacted by this tragedy, and for that matter anyone else — save your judgment. Instead, seek to listen and understand. Allow those who suffer to heal in their own manner, at their own pace. And understand that "birds of a feather flock together" is just a euphemism.

I was replenishing my cotton ball supply and this red thing comes out of the bag. Of course it didn't dawn on me to read the packaging so I was confused as to what it was. At first I thought, somehow, someone had snuck one of those rubber pop-up things from the 90s into my bag, or maybe a little mouse hat or something. Once again, instead of looking at the bag, I googled what this thing could be and about 10 minutes later, I came across "Cotton Ball Holder" as the answer. I'll admit that I was a little disappointed to discover that this wasn't the pop-up toy.
This was around the time when I decided to look at the packaging and saw "FREE CUTEX COTTON BALL HOLDER" but there still wasn't an explanation on how to use this thing so I didn't feel too bad for not looking at the bag sooner.
I'm guessing that either this is a new item or people are just throwing these away when they find them in their bag (which is what I was about to do), because there isn't much talk about them on the internet, or anything on how to use them...Or maybe everyone is a lot smarter than me and doesn't need an explanation about how to use these haha but anyways...
Apparently you just put a cotton ball in the little cup part and apply nail polish remover to the cotton ball. You hold the rubber part on the other side and are able to wipe away nail polish without messing up the rest of your manicure. Kinda handy if you ask me. Sometimes when I want to change my toe nail polish, I end up messing up my fingernails if I had painted them first so this is smart. However, I still think this looks like a hat.

LibreOffice 4.1 helps resurrect old files
By Stephen WITHERS
Last month I wrote about some of the problems involved in keeping old digital documents accessible.
Although word processor files are generally not a huge problem unless you get too far behind the curve, things just got easier in this respect with the release of a new version of the open source LibreOffice suite.
LibreOffice 4.1 includes the libmwaw library, which converts from a bunch of old-school text formats including AppleWorks/ClarisWorks, BeagleWorks/WordPerfect Works, MacWrite, Mariner Write, Microsoft Word (back to version 1.0), Nisus Writer, and WriteNow. The full list is here.
libmwaw doesn't claim to be perfect, but the screen grabs published with the LibreOffice 4.1 release notes (a before-and-after pair is reproduced above) suggests it does a respectable job.
LibreOffice 4.1 is still a bit green ("suitable for early adopters and private power users" is how The Document Foundation puts it), but if you'd like to try it, start here.
