These guys specialize in paddle board rentals, and even offer a paddle board class to help you with getting your balance figured out before you take to the lake on your own. Paddle boarding isn't every person's idea of fun. Fortunately they offer paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, inflatable islands and aqua bikes as well. If 'aqua bike' doesn't ring a bell, they are those two-person tricycles with giant inflatable wheels that you may have seen looking ridiculous on the water. And their rates are very reasonable. If you happen to be here on one of those rare sunny summer days in Kelowna, you won't regret checking them out. They are tucked away in a nook of the lake, so you're not going to float away if you get tired too tired to paddle back. That seems important to me. – Lauren S., Front DeskMore Info View on map

Why Hydraulic Fluids Fail
Instructor: Greg Livingstone, Fluitec International
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Wednesday, June 11, 2014 at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m. Central Time
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
It is well known that hydraulic fluids are prone to contaminant ingression, leading to premature component wear. However, there are many other reasons that hydraulic oils could fail. This presentation reviews the common failure mechanisms in hydraulic fluids, how to test for them and what actions should be taken. Case studies are used as examples throughout.
Presenter Biography
Greg Livingstone is the Executive Vice President of Business Development at Fluitec International based out of Jersey City, New Jersey. Greg has been involved with lubrication contamination control and condition monitoring for the last two decades. He's a Certified Lubrication Specialist and has held industry leadership roles in several committees including ASTM's Turbine Oil Analysis and Problem Solving committee and STLE's Power Generation and Wind Turbine technical groups.

UFC boss promises all 14 cast members of 'TUF 17' an official UFC fight | News
"This season is so f---ing good, and I was so happy with all the guys, I told them, 'Every one of you guys are going to fight. You're going to get one more chance in the UFC. Every guy here is going to get another chance in the UFC,'" White said at a Thursday media session promoting this weekend's UFC 156 event.
"The Ultimate Fighter 17" is currently airing Tuesday nights on FX. Two episodes have aired to date, and the show has generally been well received by MMA fans for a revised feel to the show, as well as one of the stronger casts in recent memory.
White's revelation is a staunch departure from his recent handling of the cast from "The Ultimate Fighter 16," which was widely panned for its dull fights and resulted in just four fighters (including the season's two tournament finalists) earning an official UFC appearance following the exhibition matches from the reality competition series.
While the UFC boss' revelation was surely fantastic news for the 12 "TUF 17" contestants who did not qualify for the final bout which takes place on April 13 at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale White said his matchmaker wasn't exactly thrilled with the challenge of adding 14 new fighters to a roster already bloated by the recent shuttering of UFC sister promotion Strikeforce.
Of course, that didn't do anything to change the UFC boss' mind.
"Joe Silva wants to f---ing kill me," White joked. "'It's impossible! It mathematically doesn't work.' I told him, 'Mathematically make it work.'

What can I say about this palette! It is so beautiful. It is not as 'naked' as the first palette however with the colours being neutral but not so much 'I'm not wearing any makeup' appropriate. Some absolutely beautiful and feminine looks to be created from this palette.

Ever since I purchased this palette, I reach for it every single day. The pigmentation is fantastic, glides on smoothly, and is true to pan. The colours not only pair well together with others in the palette, but also in conjunction with other colours from other NAKED palettes. Many people call this palette (as well as other NAKED palettes) their HG for a nude eye, and it's no wonder they do. This palette delivers! It's also fantastic for travel because you can create a wide variety of looks without carrying half a dozen different eye products.
The only colour I had a bit of time adapting to was Dust, which has quite a fair amount of fallout. A solution that has worked for me has been to apply minimal product at a time, and patting this colour on the desired area.

Urban Decay Naked3 Eyeshadow Palette ($52.00 for 0.60 oz.) includes twelve eyeshadows, each 0.05 oz. (equivalent of a full-sized eyeshadow), in hues of pink and brown. It also includes a dual-ended eye brush. The case is a rose gold metal with "waves" indented across the exterior. Overall, it's a really lovely palette filled with eyeshadows that are highly pigmented, soft, blendable, and easy to use. With ten of the twelve, they wore well for just over eight hours without fading or creasing. Darkside was my favorite shade, as it was somewhat unusual, and it wasn't too frosted. Dust was the worst performer, which isn't unexpected, as it has a fair amount of glitter, which makes the texture less smooth and results in fall out during wear. Trick had minor fall out during wear, but it applied better and had more color payoff.


text: bareMinerals The Hidden Agenda Ready Eyeshadow Duo ($20.00 for 0.10 oz.) contains two shades: Stealth (apricot chiffon) and Undercover (glistening granite). This is one of seven new duos for spring/summer. Each duo is packaged in a rubberized plastic compact with a full-size mirror inside and a sponge-tipped applicator. Each eyeshadow is the size of the average full-size eyeshadow (0.05 oz.).

The Queen Mother of England made this charming hotel her base when she visited Albi, the native town of the artist Toulouse-Lautrec. In 2010, Unesco classified this episcopal city, a medieval gem constructed in red brick, a World Heritage site. Just as the royal visitor did, appreciate the gentle way of life, the spacious rooms opening onto the beautiful park, and dinners in the restaurant or terrace, with magnificent views of the river Tarn. With a glass of Gaillac in hand, discover the beauty of post-Impressionist landscapes whilst learning how Albi witnessed the birth of Catharism and, during the Renaissance, supplied pigments to the greatest painters of the age.

text: Diversity & Engagement Promote Greater Diversity within the Le Moyne Community and Increased Engagement between the College and Other Communities Regionally, Nationally and Internationally Inspired by St. Ignatius of Loyola's capacity to find God in all things, Le Moyne seeks to build a respectful, welcoming campus culture that celebrates difference and models inclusion. Uniqueness is expressed through gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical and mental attributes, and religious and political beliefs. A Catholic, Jesuit college has a particular responsibility to provide an environment for the safe and nurturing exploration of difference, while also offering rich, ample opportunities for students to pursue the Jesuit ideal of "education in dialogue with the world." STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 5:1 Continue to strengthen the focus on the multicultural and diversity aspects of recruitment and retention of faculty, administrators, staff and students. Create an environment of inclusion so that each person is welcome, will persist and will flourish. TACTICS A. Institutionalize and standardize search processes to include a wide array of diverse sources. B. Establish recruiting and hiring targets for diversity that are annually reviewed by senior leadership. C. Continue to increase the mix of diversity (including international and other under-represented populations) among Le Moyne students. Senior leadership and the Board of Trustees will continue to review enrollment targets for diversity annually. D. Revise EEO policy and rename it, "Diversity and Inclusion." Fully integrate the Diversity and Inclusion policy across the campus. E. Continue to improve and increase physical access to campus environments. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 5:2 Develop comprehensive assessment, awareness, training and programming in cultural competencies in order to foster the understanding: "I need your difference." TACTICS A. Develop learning outcomes for cultural competency related to diversity, including definitions such as emotional intelligence, listening, empathy, multicultural etiquette and respect. B. Implement a Le Moyne Diversity and Inclusion module as part of overall orientation for students, student employees, resident advisors and employees. This module will review definitions of diversity, the College's Diversity and Inclusion Policy, process for airing concerns and development of multicultural competencies. C. Implement Diversity and Inclusion training across the campus for all students and employees. These will be live programs that will explain the meaning and impact of Diversity and Inclusion, reinforce the strong commitment of the College to Diversity and Inclusion, and give attendees practice in multicultural competencies. D. Once training and orientation are launched, continue established orientation programs for all new students and employees and continue to offer programming for current students and employees. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 5:3 Expand Diversity and Inclusion concepts and practices across all campus activities and events. TACTICS A. Highlight Diversity and Inclusion through service learning, study abroad opportunities, service immersion experiences and academic programming, emphasizing diversity as a core competency for life and work in a globalized world. B. Collaborate with Mission and Identity, Human Resources, Student Development and other departments and divisions to ensure that students are exposed to effective Diversity and Inclusion practices across residential and dining experiences, arts and athletics, etc. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 5:4 Develop a campus-wide approach to Diversity and Inclusion. TACTICS A. Appoint a point person(s) for Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, to coordinate efforts between Academic Affairs and Student Development and other departments and divisions across campus. B. Continue to provide programming related to Diversity and Inclusion across campus and oriented toward the public. C. Create a coordinated approach to promote, publicize and celebrate diversity on campus and in the community. D. Proactively seek ways, as a College and as a community, to support diverse students and employees. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 5: Increase alliances and partnerships, both locally and globally. TACTICS A. Create a centralized Web site to coordinate and categorize information on all of Le Moyne's community partners and projects (local, international, research, service, grants, etc.), with links to the Le Moyne College Magazine, The Dolphin, Echo, etc. Seek multiple means to promote awareness about Le Moyne's achievements in this regard, in connection with priority number six. B. Prioritize strategic projects and relationships with the external community (e.g., L.I.F.T.), and in service to local, regional, national and international partners.C. Set and monitor goals to increase the number of international students on campus as well as participation rates in study abroad programs, while deepening our already established global relationships with partnering institutions of higher education. Investigate faculty exchange programs. D. Take a leadership role in solving key issues in the community: host community fora (on campus and in the community in cooperation with civic leaders) on critical topics, engage faculty expertise and contribute to demonstrable change.

Things I liked:For my first airsoft gun I didn't know what to expect. Although the overall performance and build up of this gun was alright. Although plastic takes up a good percentage of this gun it was still light enough for me to hold for a period of time. I also liked the removable butt stock feature although it doesn't exactly change the weight of the gun instead give it more of a MP5K look.
Things I would have changed:I would mainly change how the gun feeds the BB's. Instead of it going through the scope I would have instead just gone for the BB's in the magazine feature. The BB's in the scope feature is also a nuisance since you have to constantly shake the gun just to get a few BB's into the chamber. Also the material for the suppressor since whenever I fired it always fell off after at least a few shots. Lastly the semi auto I would have improved since it rarely ever works; it always misfires.
What others should know:I would recommend buying this gun only for kids who are just getting into airsoft. It's price is reasonable and it will give them the necessary practice towards operating an airsoft gun.
Things I liked:Awesome rate of fire, durable I dropped it like ten times, still works like new, long battery life
Things I would have changed:Change it to were the hopper is not in the scope
What others should know:BB's go in the scope
Things I liked:awesome value for money and works really well
Things I would have changed:nothing

Google will start to use a model similar to Picasa Web's premium plans to let you buy more storage for different Google services, including Gmail. So for $20 a year, you'll get 6 GB that can be used to store photos in Picasa Web Albums and to send or receive messages in Gmail. It's unclear whether Google intends to add other services, but Google Docs and Page Creator are possible candidates.
You can manage your storage options from this page. Here are the current plans for upgrade:
* 6 GB ($20.00 per year)
* 25 GB ($75.00 per year)
* 100 GB ($250.00 per year)
* 250 GB ($500.00 per year)
(Note: Initially, the price for the 6 GB option was $1, but Google quickly changed it to $20.)
In February, Sergey Brin announced that Google "will start selling additional storage capacity to e-mail users with extraordinary needs". While not many people need more than 2.8 GB for storing mail, the unified storage could be more useful because you can manage it dynamically, like a virtual hard drive.
So the good news is that you have more storage options: Picasa Web costs much less, you can upgrade your Gmail storage in case you run out of space and GDrive is closer. The bad news is that others offer better prices: Yahoo Mail offers unlimited storage for free, Flickr gives you unlimited storage for $25 a year and Microsoft's SkyDrive is already here.

Ledisi to bring her upbeat show to Stranahan TheaterWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
On her new disc, Ledisi sings, "Give me a mic and I'll rock it."
Or give her a phone. The R&B star's enthusiasm is contagious, almost as catchy as her songs on "The Truth."
She took a break from tour rehearsal in Atlanta to talk about the CD released March 11.
"I had to let go of a big relationship, and instead of feeling bad about it — I went through that stage — I felt really good because I felt renewed, like I had a new person I was finding out about and doing things I had never done. So instead of singing sad, slow love songs about letting go, I wanted everything to be upbeat," Ledisi said.
"Then I started noticing that I was getting the love I deserve from people and just even people noticing me. I didn't know that I let myself feel so low, then I got higher because I started paying attention to me."
Songwriters and producers Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony noticed.
"When I started working on the song that became 'I Blame You' with Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony, Claude said, 'You look good! What is going on with you?' " Ledisi recalled and laughed. "I'm just happier. The fact that he could tell, I said, 'I think we should write a song about blaming someone else for that happiness.' "
The exuberant hit, "I Blame You," opens the disc and includes a nod to Lionel Richie, name-dropping "Dancing on the Ceiling" in the chorus.
"Rock With You" pays tribute to Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin with Ledisi singing, "I say a little prayer for you."
"I like to keep the spirituality throughout and sneak it in. It's a big part of it for me, and having fun and referencing the people before me," she said.
Empowering women also is high on the list for the soul singer.
"I just want women to feel lifted, that they can actually say what's wrong or what's right, for the man to give the love they deserve, yes, all the time. Or just be brave and just live and work hard for that happiness. Nothing is perfect, but always exude that confidence of wanting the best and acquiring it for yourself and others around you.
"I'm very direct and fun and sassy and playful," Ledisi said. "And it doesn't matter which size or curves, hairstyle — none of that matters. It's about how you stand for yourself. And I can't wait to show that on stage."
Since releasing her 2000 debut, New Orleans native Ledisi Anibade Young has shown up on the charts with "Alright," "In the Morning," "Goin' Thru Changes," "Pieces of Me" and "Stay Together."
And the Grammy-nominated artist has scored high-profile fans, performing six times at the White House for Barack and Michelle Obama.
"Every time I see them, I'm amazed and I come outside of my body sometimes, like, oh my God, this is the president of the United States, the first lady, you're talking to casually about music, what's the best Stevie Wonder song? I mean, literally, we're sitting here talking and it's so surreal. But they're really just so down to earth that you forget sometimes and then you remember as you're leaving," she said and laughed.
Ledisi will bring "The Truth Tour" with special guest the Robert Glasper Experiment to Stranahan Theater at 7:30 p.m. April 22. Tickets range from $29.50 to $49.50.

text: Legendary is a brownish red with subtle gold micro-shimmer and a satiny shine. I found this one to have a more pronounced sheen compared to the other three shades I tried. This was also the most opaque. It is similar to Shiseido Mystery, MAC Underworld (which is several shades darker and browner), Bobbi Brown Blackberry, MAC Dark Deed (which is redder), and MAC Kittenish (which is lighter, less brown).

iPad to gain facial recognition camera and new speaker array? [Patent Watch]
The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office published a patent submitted by Apple today that indicates the use of a facial recognition camera as well as a new speaker array for use with the iPad. The patent shows off three and four speaker arrays to help give off better audio at increased ranges. Also indicated in this patent is a camera that will include facial and location orientation. This will allow the camera to reorient itself depending on if you are chatting with it in landscape or portrait mode. Stay with us to find out what else Apple has patents on.
The patent goes on to explain that the orientation sensor may be provided by a compass, accelerometer, an inertial sensor, or other device. It would be provided by the selection of the orientation of the display, the shape of the touch input or image recognition of the listener.
The speaker array is simply a different arrangement for the use of three or four speakers placed around the device in a non-collinear arrangement. This would allow for the iPad's audio range to cover high range tweeter and a lower range speaker.
Also an interesting note in this patent appears to be a new iPad stand that utilizes a magnetic type backing to hold the iPad. It is unclear whether we will ever see this stand but it is interesting to see that Apple could be working on it nonetheless.

iPad to gain facial recognition camera and new speaker array? [Patent Watch]
@dave I was totally thinking the same thing! lol
If you've ever experience Cisco's Telepresence you may understand a little more. The idea is to make video communication as close to face-to-face as possible so that means talking to multiple people on the other end works with local "surround sound" and it sounds like the voice is coming from that person's mouth on the screen. Its more immersive.
Its possible that with this Apple could make the sound seem as if its coming from a particular person and then with facial recognition it could give you information about the person who is talking when they start talking. That would be pretty handy in business situations when you don't know everyone you're talking to.
If iPad has the above enhancement then it may also certainly have this as well...http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/08/apple-may-add-speed-...
keep watching
These posts about patents make me sick. Every time. Hey look, I've patented the idea of making negative comments about patents in the context of blog entries. You cannot do so now without the threat of civil action. after all, the idea is not blatantly obvious, and is in fact quite innovative.

FOLLY BEACH — On a recent afternoon, Adam Griffith flew a kite at the county park here, a kite with an aerial camera attached.
Down the beach, College of Charleston geologists hoisted a surveying rod and set up imaging equipment, using lasers to put together precise, 4-D records of how much sand is on the beach. Later, they will use multi-beam sonar to map the sand channeling and silting in Stono Inlet.
Not only is the sought-after Folly Beach County Park groin-and-renourishment project under way, so is one of the more intense studies of what difference it makes — good or bad.
If the project robs sand from nearby shorebird rookery and feeding grounds, the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission has agreed to remove the groin, a wall built into the surf to partly dam the flow of sand in the current along the shore.
The study is cutting-edge and could be invaluable. It involves hot-button environmental issues, such as the groin, renourishment and shorebird rookeries. It provides a rarely seen close-up, a real-world visual model of how sand moves in a rapidly eroding environment. That could give coastal managers a better read on how to protect the beaches here and in other places.
Griffith is a research scientist with the developed shorelines program at Western Carolina University. The geologists are professors Leslie Sautter and Scott Harris.
The research will involve students from a team that just won national academic awards for using the technology to map seafloors.
But this research, as student Robin Banner said, "will make an impact."

In England and Wales it is defined in the Children Act 1989 as "all the rights, duties, powers, responsibilities and authority which by law a parent has in relation to the child and his property". It is the starting point for recognition as a parent under the law.
In Scotland it is described in the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 as the responsibility:
to safeguard and promote the child's health, development and welfare;
to provide, in a manner appropriate to the stage of development of the child—
(i) direction;
(ii) guidance,
to the child;
if the child is not living with the parent, to maintain personal relations and direct contact with the child on a regular basis; and
to act as the child's legal representative.
Having parental responsibility for a child means that you can take decisions about matters such as education and religion and that you can consent to medical treatment for the child.
In Scotland a broader range of people can apply to the courts for parental rights and responsibilities – this is most relevant to lesbian co-parents and any awarding of these will only be done if it is deemed in the best interests of the child.
For more information about parental responsibility, Rights of Women have produced a free legal guide on what it means and how to apply for it: www.rightsofwomen.org.uk.

What's the latest in hair care and hair health? If you've been getting the same cut or using the same shampoo since the Clinton administration, or if you've been despairing over thinning hair for years, it's time to look into new and exciting options for your hair.
Faster, More Precise Color
You may have given up on coloring your hair when it meant spending the entire day in the salon. But with new color techniques, you're no longer chained to your stylist's chair for hours. "New techniques for foiling and balayage are much quicker than the one-hour wrapping time we were used to years ago," says Rowena Yeager, stylist and owner of Salon Wish in Streetsboro, Ohio. "The products we use to color the hair today are also far more gentle than in the past."
"Balayage" means "to sweep" in French. It literally involves the stylist painting colors directly onto chosen hair strands. It is applied with a sweeping motion, sparingly at the roots and heavier towards the ends. It is less time-consuming than traditional color approaches, and it also looks much subtler. It's more complicated than traditional approaches to color, so if you want balayage, ask about your stylist's training and experience.
Many salons now offer what they call a "shine shot" added to your color. "It aids in the condition and shine of the hair and in the longevity of the color," says Yeager. "Once our guests have a shine shot, they ask for it again and again."
New hair lighteners can now be used without heat, says George Gonzalez, stylist and owner of George-The Salon in Chicago and a former freelance stylist for TheOprah Winfrey Show. "Added heat can open the cuticle, which can leave your hair dry or looking brittle. Therefore, processing your color at room temperature could be beneficial in maintaining healthier hair when you get blonde highlights."
Going Organic
The big trend in hair care products today is the move toward organic choices. "People care more about what goes on their hair and their skin," says Yeager. For example, many organic lines offer sulfate-free shampoos and other products, which are generally milder and more moisturizing, and particularly beneficial for people with damaged, dry, or frizzy hair.
Paraben-free styling products are another popular option. "Parabens are chemicals used to preserve the shelf life of your shampoos, conditioners and styling products," says Gonzalez. "I feel the more that we can avoid using chemicals, the better."
Many of the new conditioning treatments available in salons today use nanotechnology, meaning that the protein or moisturizing molecules are small enough to penetrate the hair without using heat. "That means you don't have to sit under a hot dryer to get all the benefits of conditioners," Gonzalez notes.
Your products, style, and preferences can also be customized to a degree that was never possible in the past. "Technology has allowed us the ease of saving formulas, hair care, and skin care notes on the computer so that we can give you precisely what you want," says Yeager.
Restoring Hair
When you think about hair loss, you may picture Uncle Fred's bald spot or Dad's receding hairline. But surprisingly, women actually make up 40% of people dealing with hair loss -- and there are more ways than ever to treat it. You need to be careful. Although people with hair loss spend more than $ 3.5 billion a year in an attempt to treat it, most hair loss treatment products and techniques on the market are useless. What's new and what really works?
Men have more effective options for medical hair loss treatment than women do. Finasteride, the generic name for brand-name drugs Proscar and Propecia, is the "gold standard" drug for male hair loss, according to Jeffrey Epstein, MD, a hair transplant surgeon with offices in Miami and New York, and past president of the Florida Society of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It lowers the body's levels of an androgen called DHT, which shrinks hair follicles and eventually leads to baldness.
Another drug, dutasteride (Avodart), has the same effect. "It's a stronger drug, so there was the hope that it would be even more effective than Propecia, but so far, studies don't show that," says Epstein. "These drugs have also been tried in women who are postmenopausal -- you should never become pregnant while taking them -- but it's not clear whether they're as effective in women as in men."
For women, minoxidil (Rogaine) is the primary medical treatment available. It's used topically and has some effectiveness. About 20% of women report moderate hair regrowth after using it. Doctors may also prescribe spironolactone, a type of blood pressure medication that also slows down the production of hormones that can lead to hair loss, and hormones or oral contraceptives. Both of these treatments are used in women that have hair loss secondary to hormonal abnormalities such as those with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
But what's really advanced in recent years is the surgical capability to do more complete and more natural-looking hair replacement. "The state of the art for the last decade has been follicular unit transplantation, or FUT," says Epstein. In FUT, hair from an area of your head that's not yet balding is grafted to the thinning area, in naturally occurring groups of 1 to 4 hairs.
"Once, the most grafts anyone would do was about 1,500 to 2,000," says Epstein. "Now, we can routinely do 3,000 grafts, which offers much more impressive results. With a bald scalp, we can fill in the frontal half with reasonable to good density in just one procedure. For women, smaller grafts allow us to place more of them in a single procedure and treat not only female pattern hair loss, but also hairline advancement. So women can have a high hairline restored back down." The small size of the newer grafts also creates a more natural appearance.
Of course, to obtain the hair for the transplant, you have to remove it from your head (or, less commonly, another part of the body), a process called follicular unit grafting (FUG). New techniques for this process make it much easier -- and the results are virtually unnoticeable.
"Today, we can use a technique called follicular unit extraction, which means we don't have to make an incision at the donor site," explains Epstein. "The grafts are harvested one at a time with tiny 0.8 mm punches, which then heal as essentially undetectable dots in the scalp. This leaves patients with no detectable donor site scar. They can cut their hair even shorter than before, or even shave their head." Not everyone has the expertise to use this newer approach, and it takes a lot longer than FUG -- around eight hours.
On the Horizon
What might be the future of hair restoration and replacement? There are a number of approaches in the works, but none has been shown to work yet in scientific studies, says Epstein. "The holy grail would be cloning, or hair multiplication. If you could take parts of the hair follicle ... and multiply them, and implant them back in the scalp to get new hairs growing, that would be the ideal. There's a lot of research going on into that."
But it's nowhere near ready for prime time, nor is the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP). With this approach, doctors take blood from individual patients, isolate the growth factors, and inject them into the scalp. "This may stimulate the regrowth of hair, and may also help with healing of a donor site," says Epstein. "But it's still unproven."
One new advance that Epstein says does appear to be effective, based on general experience, is laser light treatment. "In men who are actively shedding large amounts of hair, getting laser light therapy twice a week for about six months does seem to stop the shedding in about 75% of them, and stimulate regrowth in a smaller group. It's still a little controversial; there hasn't been a lot in the literature yet."

Trophoblast is *weird* so no one is really sure. It is difficult to research because it's adapted for an environment that's difficult to recreate in a lab (inside a uterus, in the lining, which is mostly natural killer immune cells from another individual) and we can't really go looking during a pregnancy. I've seen some studies showing persistent remodeling effects up to seven years postpartum and others (like this one) that suggest that the majority of the remodeling is gone by 2 years postpartum.
I wonder if some trophoblast are carrying genes that mean they persist longer, or their remodeling effects persist longer. I would like to know!

Training the Joint by Joint Approach
Core Pendulum Theory
Training=Rehab, Rehab=Training is a 12+ hour, 6-disc set shot on-location over a weekend at an Equinox Fitness Club in New York City. It documents Dr. Weingroff's continuing efforts to reinvent and redefine the language between the rehabilitation and performance enhancement training landscapes. And while there are plenty of examples for those who just want the exercises, these DVDs are more about designing your own blueprints based on common rules that medical professionals and personal trainers should honor.
Charlie Weingroff, writing about this material...
The goal of my DVD set is teach non-medical professionals the SFMA with restrictor plates. There will be no breakouts, no manual therapy, and no treating pain.
There's a huge void where non-medical folks don't have the tool(s) to work side by side with medical clinicians with the same template. Non-painful dysfunction is the FMS; you will learn how to get into those patterns with my DVD, and you will leave the painful patterns to those that are qualified. If that happens to be you anyway, all the better.
Topics will be typical injuries you see when the joint by joint goes wrong, the core pendulum theory, and understanding the inner core.
But I also hope I am not going to disappoint anyone as this version of the material, like I said, will be the SFMA with restrictor plates. There will be no breakouts, no manual therapy, and no mechanism to treat people with pain.
What I want is for non-medical and medical folks to be able to use the same template to answer one of the MAJOR things I don't care for, which is folks using the FMS in the presence of pain. After this DVD, you will know how to start to unfold the roadmap when you work with someone in pain. But I will not be the ones to give you tools that you may or may not be qualified to use. I respect that many non-medical clinicians are quite capable particularly manual therapists with an exercise background. I just don't think it is appropriate to potentially put a chainsaw in the hands of a 4-year old. It's not the right thing to do, and it's also not really possible to put into a DVD.
I thoroughly explain why the rules are so clear when the FMS yields pain, but also demonstrate how the SFMA can also take you to swings, deadlifts, get-ups, push presses, etc.
What should be very enticing is that when non-medical folks are working with people in conjunction with poor physical therapists, you will clearly be the one that gets that person back to function, not the PT.

Just a few questions i hope i can get an answer to before i go out and buy the game.
1) Are there invisible walls - Or rather, are they omnipresent in the game? Does it ever stop you from going anywhere when you're just trying to hop along a path or what looks like a steep incline? Comparing it to WoW (which has virtually no invisible walls, the ones that are there are usually out of reach), how good or bad is it? Guild Wars 1 is an example of what i mean with 'bad' by the way, where you run up to the things constantly. The most important thing here is whether i'm constantly going to be stopped when i'm trying to explore the world, and i can't get up an obvious path that's blocked off by an invisible wall.
2) What are the options for customizing your character, mechanically? Is it only items and skills, or are there talents, glyphs or stats (ala wow and diablo 2) you can customize? Is the only mechanical difference between one warrior and the next the weapon and the skills they have equipped or is there more?
3) How fast is levelling? I'm going to play with at least 1 more, and i don't want to rush to 80. We want to take our time and just have fun along the way. Is the game made in such a way that levelling goes quickly regardless of what you do or does it allow you to take it easy?
4) Are the zones as big as they look? I'd like the game to really 'feel' big - That there are areas in the game where i don't feel i HAVE to go in order to get everything, if you know what i mean. Like in WoW, if you pass an area you didn't have to be before you immediately start thinking about what quest you missed or are going to get, this feels pretty annoying to me since it holds the world back from 'coming alive'.
5) It might seem like an irrelevant question to most, but can you go into houses and buildings, or are most of them locked off? I hate how especially Korean games never actually let you go inside anything unless it's a massive castle with a 15 square mile throneroom.
6) On a scale of 1 to 10, how "open" and fleshed out is the world? 1 being something like a Korean game with a mostly featureless landscape with little to no small details and pretty much 0 buildings you can go into, 10 being like Skyrim where everything is handplaced, handcrafted and there's pretty much nothing you can't explore or go into, and there's no mountain you can't climb.
7) On a scale of 1 to 10, how consistent is the world? 1 being the schizophrenic WoW style where one zone flows into the next like a brick through a wall of wodkabottles, to 10 being like (again) Skyrim where all the areas blend into one another so seemlessly that the world truly feels like it's one big place.
8) Will there be any world customization at any point? With this i primarily mean player housing, but also guild housing, fortresses or anything else managed by players, instanced or not.
The game world is very important to me. As you may have suspected, i'm looking for an MMO that comes as close to an Elder Scrolls game as possible as far as exploration and the feel of the world goes. The game has to feel consistent across the board, not just within a zone or dungeon, and it has to offer something beyond the beaten path, something that rewards you for thinking "i wonder whether i can get up there". I already saw some jumping puzzles in GW2, but they look rather artificial for this purpose - I wonder if there's more that isn't explicitely designed to be explored, but the game lets you do it anyway.

2) There are tons of customizations outside of weapon skills. There are the heals, the utility skills, the elites. Then there are runes, sigils and gems. There are dyes and town clothes and from 1-79, easily acquired transmutation stones. Lev80 items use a higher quality of transmutation gem that are very rare drop or purchased from the store. There are NOT as many armor styles as GW1 and unlike GW1, the stats vary across types. I prefer the old GW1 way.
3) Levelling is pretty fast. 1-15 seems to be pretty average levelling experience. 15-30 seems to sort of slow down. I don't know why. It could be perception, but I don't think so. I remember the 15-25 zones in particular being a chore. After you hit 30, the pace seems to snowball faster and faster.
4) The zones are deceptive. They're big when you're on the west side and you want to be on the east side for a DE or something. However, they're not quite as big as the size of the worldmap seems to imply. The zones themselves are wide open for the most part, unlike say SWTOR. However, the zones are instanced, like planets in SWTOR, and there's usually only a handful of portals to different zones in each zone.
5) This is hit or miss. It largely depends on your race/city. Divinity's Reach has a lot of buildings and stuff you can go in as does the 'home' instance inside of it. Hoelbrak has a lot of structures you can enter, but the 'home' instance is a large meadhall.
6) This is also hit or miss. The Syvlari lowbie areas are pretty cool. The human lowbie areas are boring as all hell. The Charr areas seem to be the 'best' in terms of what you're describing. I'd give it a 6 overall.
7) This is a peeve of mine. The human areas are BORING. The Syvlari areas are VERY cool as are the Charr. Once you get out of the 15-25 zones for each, you begin to be dumped more and more into 'common' levelling areas. These are sometimes very cool and sometimes blase. Again, the Charr areas seem to be the most engaging. Probably anothe 6 overall.
8) Not in the game currently unless you count guild claiming things in WvWvW, which I wouldn't. They have stated this is an intended feature we'll see at some future date.
The game world is NOT as open as WoW's, but is certainly not noticeably as 'on rails' as SWTOR's. Graphically, it's GORGEOUS. Much prettier than anything in WoW or SWTOR.
You know, if I had to liken it to any other themepark's world design, I'd say it was closest to LOTRO.

1. So far I've encountered only two invisible walls that couldn't be explained by a steep incline or other geographical feature, and both times are when trying to swim out to the sea. I'd say it feels a lot like WoW in that sense, but of course more restrictive because areas are zoned (so you need to portal to go from one area to the next) so the surrounding area is blocked, but so far haven't found any instance (except for those I mentioned before) where the terrain tells me I could go on but an invisible wall doesn't let me.
2. There's also traits in different areas depending on class that can alter how skills work (things like, for example, add extra effects like burning to some attacks, do an AoE when your health reaches X%, and things like that). Basically you have 6 trait lines for each class, you get 70 trait points you can earn (one for each level starting at level 10), and you can apply them to any of the lines, every line increases a certain stat the more points you put there, 30 points being the max you can put on a particular line. At 5, 15 and 25 points you get minor traits that are predetermined for each line, and at 10, 20 and 30 you get a major trait that can be picked from a list (IIRC there are 12 possible traits for each line, you can pick up to 3). Plus you get your stats in gear, and usually each piece of gear has a slot for a rune or sigil. Also some of those give extra effects or stats depending on how many you have of them (kinda like set bonuses in WoW)
3. Leveling can be very fast or very slow, depending on how you go about it. There were people that got to level 80 in 3 days, I've been playing since release and have one level 53 and one level 20 so far. There's still lots to go when you reach 80, though, since you still get XP but you get skill points when you "level", so you still need to keep "leveling" if you want to buy more skills, the top tier of elite skills cost 30 points, and the best gear in game needs skill points to craft as well. Also this game is perfect for playing with other people, if you level too fast you can go back to play with your friend and you'll be de-leveled to the area level, so you don't overpower him much (you'll still be a bit more powerful due to better gear).
5. In my experience, depends on the area. You can go into buildings where it makes sense. For example, in human cities it's common to see lots of locked doors while you can go into stores and public areas, but don't really remember seeing any closed doors in sylvari or norn cities, for example.
6. I'd put it on a 8. There are of course areas you can't go into because of the zoned nature of the game, but there's a LOT to explore, and a lot of interesting things to see, plus one of the selling points of the game (and something I've found to be true so far) is that if you see something off in the distance, chances are it isn't just decoration, but somewhere you can actually go to.
7. Again, 8. You won't find things like in WoW where you can go from a desertic area to a lush jungle and then to a snowy area, mostly the world makes sense. I lowered it from a 10 because it's not as open since you do have to go trough portals.
8. Guild halls are planned, but most likely they'll be instanced and separated from the world like in GW1. Also once you capture a keep or structure in WvW with your guild, you can display its banner on it (limited to 1 structure per guild) Other than that, probably not, but we don't know for sure.
What can men do against such reckless hate?
There are invisible walls, but not very many. You really have to push to the edges of the zones to find them.
Your character's choice of weapons is the main thing. You also have skills and traits that you can customize your character with.
Leveling is very fast. Almost everything you do gives you XP (fighting, crafting, gathering for crafting, exploring, daily achievements to name a few). It adds up quickly. I would estimate maybe 100-150 hours of playing to reach 80 casually on one character.
The zones are good size. There are waypoints all over the zones for quick travel that can make them seem smaller, though.
Some shops, bars, and "public buildings" are open. If the door is open, you can enter. Some others are instanced areas, like the Queen's Throne Room in the human city of Divinity's Reach.
I would say 7 or 8. The zones are quite open and fleshed out, I think. I never got the feeling that they ever thought, "Oh! Better put something over here." The zones make sense and there are caves in the mountains :)
I would give this one an 8. The zones make sense between themselves. There is no running from a snow capped mountainous zone into a desert zone. If there is some variance between the zones, it happens gradually. Say you run from a snowy area into a more moderate zone. The moderate zone may start out with a little snow and mountains and gradually slope into the more moderate valley of the new zone.
They say there should be sometime in the future. Right now, no world customization exists.

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?
Instead of not really adding to what everyone else has said (already some really good posts on the subject), I'll ask you this:
Do you worry this much over paying $60 for a single player game? Would you ask the same questions of a game like Skyrim or KOTOR?
Either way, I think GW2 is more than worth the $60. And there is no subscription. So basically, it's a AAA MMO for the same price as a SPRPG. I don't think you can go wrong there. On top of that, it's got more content than even Skyrim has. And way more than COD: Black Ops would ever dream of having.

But, it plays smooth, and has beautiful graphics. Much like dating a gorgeous model, who doesn't speak your language. All of the aesthetics are there, but there is no substance.

Its a theme park MMO in a genre where at least 3 games I can think of do it better.
Now: Skyrim
In terms of what the OP is describing, I think GW2 may be the game for him.
Considering he said he's playing with another - I assume a husband/wife type deal - a good leveling experience is what he's looking for.
He's in luck - GW2 has great leveling (if nothing else...) and exploring is pretty well done as well.

A AAA MMO has customer support, something sorely lacking in GW2, at least it was the first month then I gave up trying to get any response. It also fixes bugs, exploits and patches in a timely manner.
GW2 IMO is a AA MMO

The definition of triple A is a game that brings innovation and new features with top of the line graphics and replayability that appeals to enough people to bring a healthy profit over the long run. A game that overcomes the initial hype and release period of a game's release. (first 12 months)
Since the GW2 fanaticism will die off significantly over the next few months as it gas already started. I would not call GW2 a AAA mmo. Also GW2 did not innovate enough, is f2p and theme parks are losing their appeal greatly.
The next AAA mmo will be a lot different from what we're used to.

I don't think you'll notice any invisible walls, unless you try to reach certain vistas from a ... unusual ... aka not intended path. Generally you'll follow the natural land limitations, which depend on territory. Underwater exploration adds another element and so do reaching hard to reach places. You can't really compare it to WoW, because in WoW flying anywhere is a form of cheating your way to anywhere that does't exist in GW2. GW2 is nothing like GW1 regarding invisible walls and a lot of other things. If you want to think GW2 as a evolution of something, I'd go with Warhammer.
The first 5 abilities (buttons 1-5) are hardcoded to the weapon you have equipped. You can equip two weapons swappable in combat, out of a colleciton of 4-5 (When talking about 1H weapons, the main dictates the first 3, the off-hand the other 2). Beyond that you get an extra 5 abilities (buttons 6-0) that you can pick yourself and another 3 (buttons F1-F3) that are dictated by your build. You are given 80 points to distribute in a talent like system, although only the incements of five really matter.
The aquatic combat has its own set of 1-5 abilities, though the selection of weapons is more limited.
Levelling is extremely fast. In fact, if you have all the materials for it, you can level to max in a day just from crafting. For new characters levelling is still pretty fast, especially if you combine adventuring with crafting. Ultimately your level doesn't matter, because you're downlevelled when you enter a low area (say you're level 50, when you return to a starter level 5 area, the game downscales you back to level 7 or so). The downscalling is sort of percentage based, so max level characters with best gear will be extremely powerful compared to their actual counterparts, so the game will be a lot easier for them, just not completely trivialised.
Drops are based on your actual level, so completing low level content makes here as much sense as pushing to max level.
The map icon that shows the 100% completion of the area will probably compel you to complete everything. Areas are big if you don't hop around from waypoint to waypoint (and that's expensive, about as much as dying twice). The game is obviously not as big as WoW has become after the numerous expansions and at the moment only about a third of the total map mass presented is explorable.
A bit of a hit and miss. In most you won't be able to enter, but in a good portion of them you will. Worthly mntion here are the starter towns for each race, which are big. While you won't be able to enter in every building there, they feel like actual towns, unlike most mmorpgs, in size, design and NPC density and chatter.
I'd lean towards Skyrim as far as world design goes, just keep in mind about 5 regarding buildings.
GW2 is a zone based game, unlike WoW and Skyrim which are a seamless experience. That means that to move to the next zone you'll visit specific exits (usually dictated by roads). The zones are rectangular is size and adjucent next to each other. If you zoom out a map and you see for example a snowy territory, it may expand in two zones and half of a third. So not all zones are entirely different from the one next to them, although they do have their individual characteristics.
As far as PvE goes, no.
In PvP, and in WvW to be more specific, which is a four zone territory that three servers fight for dominance a guild can claim and upgrade a supply camp, tower, keep or the Stonemist fortress (I put them in terms of size and cost). The posession though is epheremeral, the enemy can claim them back (siege and take them) and the whole server vs server resets each week where a new set of servers are pitted against each other.
You'll probably get your money's worth out of the game. The long term appeal is up to you.

Just to respond to this quickly: I'm still amazed by people who expect customer support to be 100% available within an hour for everyone right after a game launch. Many people in beta never report any problems because 'there's no point' or they just want to try a free demo of sorts. Then, with a big influx of people at launch, you hit problems you simply could not have anticipated beforehand, since you cannot simulate 100,000 or more players testing your software - Such a huge crowd is bound to find a lot more bugs than your QA department ever can simply because of the added manhours.
Hence, if you buy a game at launch (especially an MMO), be prepared to spend some time trying to get things to work on your own. It usually takes a month or two before the customer support can manage to work through the backlog, after which the launch issues are mostly either fixed or at least known. You can't just quickly put 200 extra people on customer support for 2 months either - They need training to learn the company's support tools aswell as to learn the rules and procedures, and after those 2 months they can leave again. It's an investment that over the long term just does not make sense.
I'm speaking from experience in both software development and customer support here by the way. Anyway, back to the topic!
At the moment, yes, $60 is a heft investment given my financial situation and the fact i'd have to spend it twice (for my GF) ;p
I haven't actually bought any games for months now (aside from a few sub $5 ones in the steam sale last summer), im just looking for something we can play together. We looked at some F2P MMO's, she rather likes Fiesta Online (of all games), but it's not really my cup o tea, hence i'm looking for something decent :)
And you're right!
Thanks everyone for the well argumented answers - As soon as the budget allows GW2 will have 2 more players :>

We had our 24 week appt with today. Overall
it was a good appt. BP was a little high, which we
expected. My OB didn't tell me the exact readings. I'm
still getting pretty good readings at home, and my
kidneys are not leaking protein so no PIH diagnosis
yet. She did change the BP criteria slightly... She
wants me to have lab work (kidney and liver tests)
done any time my diastolic (bottom number) stays above
86 for several hours. The criteria had been if both
stayed 140/90 for several hours. So I could be
looking at a lot of lab work in the coming weeks. [:(]
Baby B performed well during the non stress test
(NST) again. Very active and a good heartrate. [:)]
OB wants to see me again next Wed, March 3rd.
Then we see the Peri again on Wed, March 10th. I guess the weekly appts are starting, but that is good since the scary third trimester is quickly approaching.
In other news... my wonderful team at work threw me a surprise baby
shower yesterday. They were so sneaky! Tim was even
in on the surprise, and it was great to have him
there. It was so much fun, and it meant so much to
me! Baby B got tons of great things... lots of
clothes, a bouncy seat, a bath tub, a humidifier, and
so many other great things! No doubt about it I work
with the best group of people!

A man spent his birthday in jail after leading law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit that ended with a jolt -- literally.
According to a Dorchester County Sheriff's Office incident report, Michael McCroan, 40, of Dorchester, was arrested on various charges after a deputy on patrol at about 12:15 a.m. March 16 spotted a vehicle driving at high speed, well above the posted 55 mile an hour limit, near Wire Road and Stokes Bridge Road near St. George.
The deputy got behind the vehicle, a gold colored Kia Soul, and activated lights and siren, only to see the vehicle speed up and drive erratically, apparently in an attempt to evade the deputy. The subject accelerated up to 100 miles an hour and turned onto Sandridge Road before turning onto a dirt road. The driver, later identified as McCroan, then suddenly stopped his car, jumped from the vehicle, and fled on foot, continuing to ignore verbal commands to stop.
Unfortunately for McCroan, the deputy was able to catch up to the subject and deployed his Taser, which hit McCroan in the back and caused him to fall off a fence he was attempting to scale. Because McCroan would not put his hands to his sides as ordered, and because the deputy did not know if the subject was armed, he gave the subject another five-second cycle to bring him under control and was soon able to place the subject in handcuffs, according to the report.
McCroan was arrested on several charges, including failure to stop for a blue light, resisting arrest, driving under suspension, and driving with an open container of alcohol, and transported to the Dorchester County Detention Center.

Anna Valentina Murch
Benaroya Hall, The Boeing Arcade
3rd Avenue and Union Street
Seattle Symphony 1% for Art, Seattle City Light 1% for Art
In SkyTones, Anna Valentina Murch uses light to replicate the changing colors of the sky in the Boeing Arcade of Benaroya Hall, home to the Seattle Symphony. Located in five niches along the upper level of the Boeing Arcade, concealed horizontal lines of fluorescent lights with color filters are programmed to create an abstract reference to a dissolving twilight. The five niches, each with three-foot radius corners which amplify the illusion of depth, connect horizontally. Each niche has its own dimmer, so the effect not only changes from top to bottom, but from south to north across the length of the arcade. Three different programmed sequences run during concerts.
The artist states the "modulation of color and light affect the atmospheric quality of the entire Boeing Arcade. As the west view of the sky is hidden by the building, this horizontal band of subtle, dissolving light will create the illusion of seeing a sky through the building."

New Music: Missy Elliott – "Triple Threat" & "9th Inning"
'You newcomers better sit back and take note'
Missy is warming up for her first album release in seven years by flexing her bravado and reasserting her place in hip-hop on two new releases titled, "Triple Threat" and "Ninth Inning".
With some help from Timbaland on the production and contributing verse, Missy gets aggressive while reminding us that her ability to rap, dance and sing makes her a force to be reckoned with:
Guess who's back. Yup, I'm the best/I'm that chick cuz I'm a triple threat/ 250 mill. Who can top that? I slap whoever say I'm irrelevant/ God, I'm pissed, mad and upset. Music is dead. We make it resurrect.
Meanwhile, On 9th Inning, Missy and Timbaland continue slaughtering the new music of today while boasting about what they've done in the music industry. Missy yells over the track, 'How many of y'all got a catalog this long? Don't worry, I'll wait. Did y'all forget? I think y'all forgot. They think we done. All we do is make hits' while Timbaland says in his verse:
Ain't no real artist… […] All you hear in music is the chorus, but that's okay Timmy's back. End of story.
Take a listen to both tracks below:
Okay, here goes the honesty. There is something about 'Triple Threat' that sounds a little dated, like it could have been made about 6-8 years ago and then resurrected, however, I appreciate Missy's wordplay. Especially, considering the type of Hip Hop that is getting played on the radio nowadays. Her flow is sick!
One of the things that is noticeably missing from both records is Missy's signature vocals. Some of her hottest records featured her singing, and even though we got a taste of it on J. Cole's "Nobody's Perfect, she decided to focus solely on her lyrical ability on both of these tracks. (…Which is fine because she definitely had a lot to say].

Summertime in Moncks Corner means two things for school-aged children, vacation and summer camps.
For about 30 elementary and middle school girls it means the annual Lady Stags Softball Camp, which ran from June 3-6 at the Moncks Corner Youth Fields Complex.
This camp helps us to get the word out to the younger girls as to how we do things with the Berkeley softball team, said Lady Stags Coach Boogie Grooms. If you start teaching them how do things right at an early age, thats less you have to work to correct later on when they get older.
Grooms along with 2014 Class AAA All-State first team selections Blake Ponder and Brooklyn Stone ran the girls through an assortment of fielding, throwing, hitting and baserunning drills over the course of the three-day camp.
The weather was perfect, Grooms said. No rain to contend with this week and it wasnt too hot.
We were able to get a lot of good work in.
The 2014 Lady Stags won their second consecutive Region 8AAA championship before bowing out in the Class AAA Lower State semifinals.
We are getting better every year, but next year we want to work from day one to get playoff ready, Grooms said. Its no longer just about winning a region championship. We want to be prepared to make a deep run into the playoffs.

Consolidated Grants ProgramRegional Mobility Grants Program

WSDOT's public transportation grants help provide access, mobility and independence to Washington residents. Made possible by state and federal funds, these grants, along with regional mobility grants, provide transit services within and between cities, purchase new buses and other equipment, provide public transportation service for the elderly and people with disabilities, and improve public transportation in and between rural communities.
Many types of organizations may qualify for WSDOT's public transportation grants including:
WSDOT awarded state and federal grants in July 2013 for 107 projects through the state's competitive and formula public transportation grants program. The grant funds are purchasing approximately 84 vehicles and providing transportation for people living in rural areas, people with special transportation needs and the general public in 38 Washington counties.
WSDOT created a consolidated grant application process in 2003 to combine the applications for state and federal public transportation grants. Timelines for all state and federal funding awards were brought in line with the state biennium. This allowed applicants to submit their proposals for all types of grant funding just once every two years instead applying separately for each type of grant program.
