The Gaslight Anthem have just released a new video for the title track of their new album that we just recently gave an 8. Andrew Gilstrap said, "American Slang is a big step forward for the Gaslight Anthem, showing more consistency and ambition than The '59 Sound. Naysayers might point to them as a band that's found its niche, and is content to explore all the nooks and crannies of that niche. But a good listen to the way sharp guitars weave their way through the songs, or to the way drummer Benny Horowitz lays down lockstep rhythms that hearken back to a kind of rock 'n' roll that not made much anymore, and it's obvious that the Gaslight Anthem are hammering away at something important. If not for them, then for a lot of us who love straightforward, ragged-soul rock 'n' roll."

Guitarist Erik Martensson once aspired to have a career in motocross. But after being involved in a crash and during his subsequent recovery, he began focusing his time on guitar and soon discovered his true calling. Today, Martensson not only splits his time between his own hard rock band Eclipse and the "super-group" W.E.T; a project that also features Robert Säll (Work of Art) and Jeff Scott Soto (Talisman), but he's also written and produced songs for a variety of artists.

Product description
Developed for the Israel military forces and battle tested in real-life combat, Krav Maga has gained an international reputation as an easy-to-learn yet highly effective art of self-defense. Clearly written and extensively illustrated, Complete Krav Maga details every aspect of the system including dozens of hand-to-hand combat moves, over 20 weapons defense techniques and a complete physical conditioning workout program. All the moves are described in depth from beginning Yellow Belt to advanced Black Belt, yet they are easy to learn because one of Krav Maga's strengths is its simplicity. Based on the principle that it is best to move from defense to attack as quickly as possible, Complete Krav Maga offers fast-escape maneuvers from attacks and holds. It then follows them up with specific counterattacks, including punches, kicks and throws. The authors show how anyone (big or small, man or woman) can practice self defense by using Krav Maga to protect weak spots, exploit an assailant's vulnerabilities and turn the attacker s force against him. Complete Krav Maga teaches the reader how to get in shape, gain confidence and feel safer and more secure every day.

From The Braces Cookbook, these two recipes are for foods that area easy to eat with braces, including a crustless quiche and a cranberry splash punch. Keep these handy for the next time your child gets his wires tightened at the orthodontist.
This super-quick recipe calls for just six ingredients, but it produces a beautifully sliceable egg-and-cheese quiche. Pre-shredded cheese and a packaged biscuit-mix make it extra easy and very light.Servings: 6-8Ingredients
3 eggs3 tablespoons vegetable oil1½ cups milk½ cup packaged dry biscuit mix1½ cups shredded Swiss cheese1 (6-ounce) can crab meat, drained and flaked apartDirections
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.2. Grease or spray a 9-inch or 10-inch pie pan or quiche dish. 3. In a large bowl, with a whisk or fork, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, and milk. Stir in the biscuit mix (it doesn't have to be perfectly smooth). Pour mixture into pan. 4. Sprinkle on and stir in the cheese and crab meat. 5. Bake at 350 degrees: 60 minutes for a 9-inch pan or 50 minutes for a 10-inch pan; top should turn a golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.Variation: Substitute mild cheddar cheese for the Swiss and ½ cup crumbled cooked bacon or shredded deli ham for the crab. You can also add ½ cup thawed chopped spinach. All versions freeze well.
This hits the spot when your teeth are sore and you need a little sparkle!
Servings: 1
4 ounces ginger ale (chilled)
4 ounces cranberry, cran-grape, cran-cherry, or cran-raspberry juice (chilled)

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

The United Nations said it had reached an agreement with Syria on an inquiry into the use of chemical weapons, but did not say UN inspectors would be allowed in.
Two UN envoys went to Damascus on Tuesday for two days and held talks with Syria's deputy prime minister and foreign minister, a brief UN statement said.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
"The discussions were thorough and productive and led to an agreement on the way forward," Friday's statement said, without giving any other detail. It did not say UN inspectors would be allowed in.
Ake Sellstrom, the chief inspector in the UN investigation team, and Angela Kane, the UN high representative for disarmament, were to report to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the trip.
Ban has demanded widespread access to investigate all allegations of the use of chemical weapons in the 28-month-old conflict. Syria has insisted that the UN only investigate its claim that rebels used chemical weapons in the town of Khan al-Assal on March 19.
The UN says it has received reports of 13 chemical attacks in the conflict.
Britain, France and the United States say all the attacks were carried out by President Bashar al-Assad's forces. Russia, Assad's main ally, says its inquiry found that rebels used sarin gas in Khan al-Assal.
Source: AFP
Journalists silent about whether Obama administration has "proof" that Assad's regime used chemical weapons.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon says there is no military solution to the conflict, as UN increases death toll to over 100,000.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Novalis Dresden
Travel Blogs from Dresden
... journey even given the road works and we arrived in Dresden just after 3pm (left Berlin at 1230) For a small(er) city it was quite busy. The hotel is nice and central and we walked to dinner. The city is amazing - considering most of it was destroyed by allied bombing in WW2 its been rebuilt and the buildings still look like they are hundreds of years ...
Crossing the border and Dresden
... he became King he had the money to build it. He was also known as a partier. He had between 60-100 parties a year and when his son was married the party lasted a month. August II died as King of Poland and even Hough he was buried there, his heart is buried in the church according to his last wishes. The legend goes that if a single woman walks past it, the heart will beat. The day ended with dinner at a local ...
... not that many. Dresden was almost completely obliterated by the allied forces in World War Two, the destruction still so evident. We remembered reading quite a bit about it when we were in Berlin. The city has a great feel though and they have done a good job of mixing the old with the new. Although it seems a little odd in a way. Just a few very old majestic buildings mixed in with the new.
Back to the hotel where we sat with ...
Amazing Architecture
... river, a fair amount of private homes that look beautiful and of course parks and outdoor areas. Because we are on a river, there are a high number of restaurants and outdoor areas. Like much of Europe, you get the impression that people eat out a lot...probably not all that different from what we have at home. We just aren't sitting in ancient communities with 500+ year old buildings surrounding us.
OK, rest time now and decide where to go for dinner.
Museums and Churches
... and I think it might be because they're like 3D picture books. And I loove picture books. Of course everything is "interesting" to look at and read about. But I think museums also give you an experience of being led through those many different specific emotions that you may get from those objects.

"The Canons Cabin was clean and well-appointed, with gracious hosts, and absolutely beautiful surroundings. We appreciated the little homey touches, such as nice quilts and interesting artwork on the walls. Already looking for dates for our next visit. As seasoned NM travelers, we were looking to be off the beaten path, but within comfortable driving distance (an hour, or so) of some of the more popular Northern New Mexico spots, in case we wanted dinner in Chimayo or to wander the plaza in Santa Fe. This little cabin fit the bill perfectly. We drove the beautiful forest roads north of Gallina, headed up to the Ghost Ranch area and explored the Echo Amphitheater, attended feast day dances at the Pueblo Ohkay Owinge (highlight of the trip by far), ate a pretty good pizza from Mamacita's, devoured delicious green chile burgers at Papa Joe's in Gallina, had wonderful meals at La Cocina in Espanola, Rancho de Chimayo, and the Plaza Cafe in Santa Fe. We also visited Napoleon Garcia, the Storyteller, on the Abiquiu plaza, and spent our early mornings and sunsets sitting on the porch of the cabin, overlooking the quiet little village and beautiful scenery. A wonderful visit. Thank you Gracie and Felix!"Guest: Doug Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 19, 2015View listing

The economy is a shambles. Banks aren't lending. Consumers aren't spending. Visits to doctors, dentists and hospitals are falling as consumers delay preventive care and elective surgery to save money. Few are buying cars or homes, much less luxury goods or expensive meals out. It's no wonder the nation's employers are struggling with what may seem like a suddenly bloated workforce.
If your organization is like most, you've probably at least considered responding to the financial and credit crisis by cutting jobs. But that may be the wrong thing to do because just one lawsuit can wipe out any potential savings from job cutting.
In fact, the only people prospering during this prolonged recession might be employment lawyers. Already, the American Bar Association is reporting in the ABA Journal, "Lots of layoffs translate to lots of work for employment lawyers."

Massage for Cancer Patients: Indicated or Contraindicated?
By William C. Handley Jr., LMT, Oncology Massage Therapist
Years of constant research have developed numerous new treatments to eradicate cancer or at least prolong the quality of life of a person living with cancer. As a cancer survivor, I can give firsthand testimony that most cancer patients feel abandoned in the time they need the most support."You have cancer" will be some of the scariest words you will ever hear in your life!
Most of the family members and loved ones of a person diagnosed with cancer will tell that person they will be with them and support them all the way through their battle with the disease. I'm sure, without a doubt, that their intentions are true. But in the eyes of the person living with the cancer, the support usually comes from a distance. Due to fallacies and myths, most people that are intending to support a person living with cancer actually will distance themselves from the person fighting the disease. These fallacies, myths, and lack of education and facts can lead the supporters to think they can hurt a person battling cancer by touching them, hugging them, or even that they can catch the cancer by being in contact with them. This simple distance is more noticeable to the person living with cancer because they need the close support and touch of their loved ones. When you have a life-threatening disease, a touch or hug develops a lot more meaning than just contact.
Massage therapy is one of the most relaxing forms of touch available. Massage therapy also has many health benefits, but there have been concerns that massage therapy actually can cause the cancer to spread. Most massage therapy schools taught that cancer was a contraindication for massage. The two main concerns of how massage therapy could spread cancer involved its effects on circulation and the cancer tumors. Research continues to dispute the original concerns that massage therapy can spread cancer. The support to dispute this myth grows each year through credible experts and numerous studies.
Oncology massage therapy actually is a combination of many styles of massage incorporated into one session. The differences in the styles and techniques used with cancer patients are noticeable, both visually and physically. Oncology massage is a non-invasive technique, specifically adapted for individuals of all ages and types of cancer. Cancer patients should only receive massage therapy from a therapist educated in oncology massage. A therapist uneducated in the adaptations of these styles and proper techniques actually can cause the cancer patient to develop different conditions and even cause the death of the patient. There are contraindications and precautions for a cancer patient to receive massage therapy. This list has grown over the years to become more complete and ensure that those who are educated in oncology massage also are educated in what they should not do and what they should be cautious of.
Acceptance of massage therapy for cancer patients from medical professionals has been a continuing educational process for the medical institutions, physicians and the oncology massage therapists. The medical institutions require credentials and protocols for treatment and procedure manuals. This means a massage therapist must be able to produce documentation and certification that he or she has had education in massage for cancer patients, in addition to the standard education in massage therapy. The therapist also must have detailed protocols for treatment that give an outline of the therapy plans for each stage of cancer, such as: pre- and postsurgical protocols, chemotherapy and radiation protocols, lymphedema protocols and scar tissue protocols. The therapist also must provide a correctly formatted procedure manual under the requirements of a joint commission.
The physicians must be educated in the benefits of oncology massage and how to properly refer patients with a correct prescription and diagnosis. This is another educational responsibility of the oncology massage therapist - to meet with these physicians and provide them with hard, undeniable evidence of medical studies. The best evidence has been patient testimony after a physician sends their first referral.
The oncology massage therapist must obtain additional education and training through qualified instructors. There are now several classes available in this modality of massage therapy. Cheryl Chapman and Tracy Walton offer very informative continuing education classes. Gayle MacDonald recently joined with Dr. Sandy Canzone and developed a 300-hour certification course in oncology massage. Sloan-Kettering Memorial Cancer Center also offers a continuing educational course in oncology massage therapy. Courses such as these are vital and should eventually be mandatory for a massage therapist to be able to provide massage therapy for those living with or surviving cancer. Mandatory requirements will help give a more credible recognition and acceptance of this therapy.
Standard massage therapy performed by a generally licensed massage therapist and without additional specialized education in cancer should be considered a contraindication for cancer patients. However, oncology massage therapy provided by a properly educated oncology massage therapist is a definite indication for those living with or surviving the disease.
William Handley Jr. currently heads up the oncology/mastectomy massage therapy program at Cabell Huntington Hospital in West Virginia and is the director of Tranquility Massage Therapy. He is a cancer survivor and the first certified cancer/mastectomy massage specialist in W.V., where he developed and implemented the state�s first oncology/mastectomy massage therapy program.
