This Week… starting December 20, 2010
Note: The Bici-Ruta will be discontinued until after New Years.
Note: So that our readers can better plan their holidays, we are including a list of all of the Festivals and Fiestas that will be held throughout the interior of the State of Yucatan for the remainder of December. Every one of these events is special and we hope you all take this opportunity to explore the interior of this wonderful state.
Municipal Fiestas This Week
Oxkutzcab: Orange Festival: Began on Dec. 10
This is the 26th annual Orange Festival in Yucatan. Those 26 years have seen this festival grow into an international event. Buyers of both citrus fruit and livestock are all on hand to make certain that they get their fair share of the agricultural wealth of the state. Events will be available for the entire family and Juicer Akil will provide free orange, tangerine, and grapefruit for all who attend the festival.
Tizimin Fiesta: Dec. 15 through Jan. 10
This is a huge fiesta in the heart of Yucatan's horse country. Visit the Tizimin Website to see loads of pictures of this great area. Tizimin is that large municipality that borders the Gulf of Mexico and Quintana Roo, as well as extending far into the interior of the State. This gives this municipality access to all of the best of the entire peninsula. Their festivals and fiestas are always "must attend" events.
Tixpéual Festival: Dec. 17 through Dec. 20
This is the annual "County Fair" of this municipality. Tixpéual is bordered on the north by Tixkokob, on the south by Kanasin and Acanceh, on the east by Seye and Tixkokob, and on the west by Kanasin and Merida. Did somebody say "location-location-location?" Tixpéual is one of those places where, when you tell folks you live "in a village on the Yucatan Peninsula," you neglect to add that it is practically in sight of the city. The ethnicity of almost half the population of Tixpéual is Otomi and that is the language they speak. Read more about Otomi History. Since there are fewer than 300,000 Otomi left in Mexico, this group of people is one of the treasures of Yucatan. We hope you take a look at this little municipality. Great things are coming from here in the not too distant future.
Espita Fiesta 10 Day Event: Dec. 19 through Dec. 28
This fiesta is in honor of the niño Dios. Espita is in the East-Central part of our state, just to the east of Dzitas and just under 2 hours from Merida. Lots of cattle ranches and cowboys here, and all of the good food and leather work that goes along with them. There will be bullfights at this fair, along with a 15 km cattle drive from Sucilá to Espita. You can also find beautiful ramilletes in Espita.
Municipal Festivals and Fiestas: Week of Dec. 20 – 26
Tunkas Fiesta 5 Day Event: Dec. 20 through Dec. 24
This fiesta is in honor of St. Thomas the Apostle. Tunkas is located just this side of Izamal. Look in Tunkas for huipiles, hammocks, and pottery. Tunkas (Wall of Stones) belonged to the Chieftanship of Cupul during the pre-Histanic era. It is the product of an ancient Mayan civilization that is mentioned in The Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel. About half of the population is Mayan today and that is the language of all the indigenous people of Tunkas.
Sotuta Fiesta 1 Day Event: December 23 (only)
This fiesta is in honor of San Idelfonso, Archbishop of Toledo, who was responsible, in large part, for the unification of the Spanish liturgy. He died in 667. Sotuta is the ancestral home of Nachi Cocom and the ancestral home of the family of assassinated Governor Felipe Carrillo Puerto. If you are a history buff, Sotuta is the place for you. If you are a shopper, this is cowboy country – so look for great leatherwork here!
Municipal Festivals and Fiestas: Week of: Dec. 27 – Jan. 2
Peto Fiesta 7 Day Event: Dec. 27 through January 2
This fiesta is in honor of the Virgen de la Estrella (the Virgin of the Star). Peto is also a rural municipality, so lots of leatherwork here – but there are also at least 3 fantastic jewelry shops in Peto and at least one of these families creates the marvelous high-end jewelry sold in the better shops in Merida. Any fiesta in Peto is a great excuse to find out just what wonders may lie in the heart of Yucatan.
Tizimin Festival 9 Day Event: Dec. 29 through January 6
This event overlaps with the fiesta that begins on Dec. 15 and ends on Jan. 10. The focus of this event is on agriculture, livestock, industry, and artisans. If you are looking for an "After Christmas Sale," we suggest that this event might be just the ticket. The event includes celebrations in honor of the Three Kings, with Jan. 6 being the biggest celebration, and is just the first of the celebrations in January. You are cordially invited to come back yet again, Jan. 28 – 31, for the Fiesta in Honor of the Virgen de la Candelaria. Don't forget to visit the Tizimin Website.
In the City of Merida
Las Posadas and Rama in Yucatan
If you are anywhere in Mexico between December 16 and Christmas, you are likely to see one of these candlelight processions Las Posadas that reenacts the search of the Holy family for a place for Baby Jesus to be born. And/Or, in Yucatan, on any given night during Advent (the 24 days leading up to Christmas), you could find a group of neighborhood children at your door carrying las ramas and a picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe. They will be singing songs and collecting money. You are invited to visit Yucatan Living's article on these wonderful traditions and joyous celebrations.

The college dreams of thousands of students who are illegal immigrants moved closer to fulfillment Wednesday after the state Senate approved a bill that for the first time would give them access to public financial aid.
Part of a two-bill package known as the California Dream Act, the measure would allow undocumented students who qualify for reduced in-state tuition to apply for Cal Grants, community college waivers and other public aid programs. To be eligible, they must be California high school graduates who attended schools in the state at least three years, and demonstrate financial need and academic merit.
The Senate vote brought relief to Brian Lee, a UCLA undergraduate who was brought to the U.S. at age 4 from South Korea and fell out of legal status when his mother did not renew their visas. Lee, a biology major who hopes to become a dentist, said the chance to apply for financial aid would help him finish school more quickly and alleviate the stress of working multiple under-the-table jobs. As it is, he has worked for two academic quarters to pay for each term he attends.
"I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel, finally," said Lee, 24, who has completed just two quarters in more than two years.
Carlos Perea, a 19-year-old undocumented student from Mexico who attends Santa Ana Community College, said the bill's passage would help him achieve his goal of transferring to a four-year university. He wants to major in political science and work for a nonprofit organization when he graduates.
But opponents decried the bill, AB 131, saying the state could not afford new spending, particularly on illegal immigrants.
"It's against the rule of law for benefits to be given out to people here without legal status," Sen. Doug La Malfa (R-Richvale) said in an interview. "People are just insulted. The state is out of money and we are opening a new door here for more funds to be expended."

Constipation is closely linked with the problem of boils. This is because our body removes the toxins through the colon and the skin. When a person is constipated the toxins which cannot get eliminated through excretion are eliminated via the skin.
Our skin reflects the internal state of our health. The presence of boils on the bum or elsewhere on the skin can be due to the following:
• Accumulation of harmful toxins in the body.
• Genetic factors.
• Lack of proper diet.
• Weak immunity
• Stress.
Our skin is often referred to as the body's first line of defense. However, it has to face the constant onslaught of the sun, cold, heat, humidity, harsh soaps, chemicals and perspiration. Therefore, we often get rashes, boils, rosacea etc which causes a lot of awkwardness.
Unfortunately, the antibiotics that are used to cure skin boils only suppress the infections. They do not uproot the problem but only alleviate them for some time. This can lead to serious consequences as the internal problem can aggravate due to lack of a proper and timely treatment.
For our skin to be free of boils on the bums or elsewhere it is essential that the organs such as kidneys, liver, lungs and colon eliminate the toxins effectively. If there is constipation then the colon gets choked with fecal matter. The toxins that are required to be eliminated as soon as possible get stuck within the body for hours and spread toxins. The body makes an attempt to cleanse the filthy conditions due to constipation by filtering out the toxins through the skin.
This leads to the following:
• Skin becomes overburdened.
• Its pores get clogged
• Eruptions may occur in the form of bum boils or boils elsewhere on the skin.
There are several natural methods by which one can prevent constipation and detoxify the body to avoid bums or other boils. They are:
• Fasting
• Avoiding colas, junk and processed food.
• Intake of cabbage juice.
• Black walnut tincture.
• A high intake of water
Thus, we find that a therapeutic fasting coupled with detoxification can prevent constipation and the subsequent boils on the bum or on other places.

Social media hasn't always been kind to Kris Jenner. The Kardashian matriarch recently had her Instagram account hacked, with the culprit writing some pretty hateful tweets about current son-in-law Kanye West and the newest man who could someday be added to the clan, French Montana. However, this isn't the first time Kris has dealt with hackers. She previously had a showdown over some fake messages on everyone's favorite microblogging site — Twitter.
Kris noticed something suspicious when tweets about poop showed up on her feed in 2012. Though she found the messages kind of amusing, she pointed the finger at members of her own family, causing mild Kardashian drama.
Even if Kris' Twitter tale ends in laughter, plenty of other celebs have been up in arms after their feeds were violated. So which stars have found themselves victims of unauthorized tweets?

UNC research: Counseling programs reduce heart-disease risk
Reaching patients outside the exam room is proving more important – and cost-effective – in the battle against heart disease, according to research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The study, by a team led by Thomas Keyserling and Stacey Sheridan from the UNC Center for Health Promotoion and Disease Prevention, was published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine.
It indicates that web-based and live counseling programs can reduce the risk of heart disease in high-risk patients. Further, it suggests that web-based programs are especially affordable.
The study showed that for the 385 participants who were at moderate to high risk for heart disease, factors that would affect chances for heart disease, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, self-reported dietary intake, physical activity and medication adherence all improved.
Besides health outcomes, the research compared costs of web-based and live counseling. In-person sessions cost $207 per patient, while web sessions were $110. Both approaches were well received by participants, with 75 percent saying they would strongly recommend this program to others.

Kim Philby's voice to be heard at Trinity during inaugural Cambridge Spies Symposium
Posted: April 26, 2014|
The voice of one of Britain's most notorious traitors will fill the walls of his old college today as experts, members of the public and maybe even a few former spies gather to delve into the murky world of the infamous Cambridge spies.
In a story which has served to fascinate long after its main players are dead and gone, the "Cambridge Five" will take centre stage today at the inaugural Cambridge Spies Symposium, held in the city which nurtured notorious double agent Kim Philby and his comrades Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt John Cairncross and Donald Maclean before they became spies for the Soviet Union in the Second World War and beyond.
The symposium at Trinity College will hear a lecture given by Philby to the KGB in Moscow in 1977 where he was living as exile, which will be played for the first time after being repatriated from the Russian intelligence archives.
This extraordinary speech could shed some light on Philby's time in Moscow where he lived as an exile until his death in 1988.
"It's almost ironic really as he was turned to the Soviet Union while he was here, and now so many years later we have got him back again," said Professor Christopher Andrew, professor of contemporary and modern history at Cambridge University.
The former official MI5 historian said he hoped the symposium would help to bring more information forward about the spy ring, which has fascinated historians for so many years.
Cambridge itself is at the very heart of this hotbed of intrigue and suspicion, according to Christian Bak, one of the conferences organisers and a PhD candidate at Christ's College.
He said: "I think there was something quite unique about Cambridge in the 1930s which made this scenario possible.
"Cambridge and particularly Trinity College had this liberal outlook which was quite unusual at the time, particularly as it was at the heart of establishment."
Mr Bak added: "I think it is important for us to take a look at them individually and as a group in their context so we can try to find the red threads tieing this together."
Fear and suspicion of facism played an integral role in the radicalisation of the men, according to Mr Bak, but some of the spy ring may also have been rebelling against the sexual norms of the time as Blunt and Burgess were both gay and Maclean was bisexual.
The history of espionage in Cambridge can be traced back as far as the 16th Century, according to Prof Andrew who will deliver the the keynote address on intelligence in Cambridge starting from the work of Elizabeth I's spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham, who attended King's College, to Philby and his comrades in the 1930s.
A huge number of English intelligence agents were recruited from Cambridge during the reign of Elizabeth I, whereas in the 1930s the Soviets were recruiting heavily rather than MI5 and MI6.
He said there were comparisons to be made between the Catholic spies of the 16th Century and the Soviet agents of the Cambridge spy ring.
Treason, suspicion and undercover activity all make for a thrilling tale but there is much to learn from Cambridge's history of espionage.
Prof Andrew said: "I think understanding the way that young people can get radicalised is very important.
"Some of these people might be less likely to do it if they were more aware of the consequences shown in a situation like this.
"We cannot read the history of British Soviet relations and leave this stuff out."
Another voice will be heard from beyond the grave as Professor Stuart Purvis and Dr Jeff Hulbert will present the only known recording of Guy Burgess speaking.
The recording was obtained through a Freedom of Information request to the FBI and contains Burgess' description of a visit to Winston Churchill's home before he became Prime Minister.
The symposium will also see further discussion of Kim Philby's friendships by best-selling author Ben MacIntyre and a study of Soviet recruitment in Cambridge, Massachussetts, as Svetlana Lokhova also examines espionage at MIT.
The Cambridge Spies Symposium will be held from 9.30am until 4.30pm in the Winstanley Lecture Theatre at Trinity College, Cambridge.
Who were the Cambridge Five?
The infamous Cambridge spy ring was recruited by Soviet intelligence while at the university in the 1930s.
Trinity College alumni Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and Donald Maclean, who studied at Trinity Hall, all passed secrets to the Russians during the Second World War and beyond before being unmasked in the 1950s.
Maclean and Burgess fled to the Soviet Union in 1951 following a tip-off from Philby, who was later also outed as a spy.
Blunt confessed under interrogation from MI5 in 1964 in exchange for immunity.
In 1961, KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn said there had been a 'Ring of Five' prompting feverish speculation as to the identity of the fifth man.
It is widely accepted that another Trinity student John Cairncross was the fifth, who had been at the university at the same time.
The group were recruited by charismatic Austrian Dr Arnold Deutsch.

Crime watch link gets streetwise
Posted: December 30, 2013|
HE'S the eyes and ears of 700 city centre businesses, and during the festive period Nottingham's first crime reduction ambassador has been working to clamp down on a gang of illegal street traders and shoplifters.
Andy Evans, 23, was appointed two months ago by the Nottingham Business Improvement District (BID), which has 700 members and aims to boost income for businesses by attracting more visitors to the city centre.
His role is to act as the liaison between retailers, police and other agencies in the city centre in a bid to reduce crime and share information about prolific offenders.
Illegal street traders who pose as Big Issue sellers and shoplifters targeting fragrances and gift sets have been the focus of attention.
Andy said: "During the run-up to Christmas we have been working with the police to identify specific trends and what items have been targeted. The main things that have been targeted are fragrances and gift sets, which is what you would expect so close to Christmas. We also work closely with the police on targeting prolific offenders.
"Businesses that have had issues with begging or illegal street trading near their buildings have had a lot of support from us. We have managed to move some of these people on.
"The illegal street traders are an ongoing issue, but the offenders are starting to learn that we are going to continue to target them.
"It is a daily problem in the city centre. It's a small number of people – about five or six – but they are prolific.
"The BID is not only about encouraging people to come into the city, it's also trying to make sure they have a great time when they are in the city.
"It's reassuring to both the police and the retailers to have that point of contact. Working together is the only way we will beat these issues."
Sam Slater, 23, of Long Eaton, a retail assistant at Ted Baker in Bridlesmith Gate, said: "It's great that there is now that link between us retailers and the police. The police are busy so it's great to have someone like Andy who can come in to the shop, rather than us take up police time."
Andy spearheads the BID's team of four street ambassadors, who gather information on crime. He uses the BID's radio system – which is used by 180 businesses and the police – to share information. And he also works closely with owners of clubs, bars and restaurants in Nottingham to gather information on drugs use and other illegal activity, such as the use of counterfeit banknotes.
Chief Inspector Shaun Ostle, head of city centre policing for Notts Police, said: "We have always worked with the BID.
"The police are really keen to support Andy.
"It's a massive improvement to have a link between us and the stores."

Those of us who are on a tight budget can't always afford to replace the stock heads, especially after we just spent so much on the drum(s). I don't really have the money to buy a new snare head, on account of some medical and dental bills that recently arose, but I'm going to have to scrape together some cash and buy one anyway, because I have a gig tonight. Had they provided better heads, I wouldn't have to replace the head so soon. Even had they charged a little extra for the price of the drum, that would have been fine. I would have been willing to pay a bit more for the drum if it had come with decent heads. I don't really think I should HAVE to pay more for something that, to me, should be such a given, but I'm willing to if that's how it has to be.
To me, it's kind of like buying a car. You know that, eventually, you'll have to replace the brake pads, but you also know that the pads which came on the car are of decent quality, and will last quite some time before you have to worry about it. They don't sell you a car with brake pads that fall apart after a few months, because they want that vehicle to function perfectly, as soon as you get it, and function properly for some time before you have to replace any parts. Sure, you can replace all the parts you want with what you would prefer, but you don't HAVE to quickly replace parts to make sure the vehicle is still drivable.

Tony Nicklinson, the 57-year-old man suffering from 'locked-in syndrome' has won the first stage of his High Court case, after a judge ruled yesterday against a Ministry of Justice application to have the case struck out.
The MoJ had stated in a preliminary 'strike out' application that a case such as this, which is seeking a dramatic change in the law to allow a defence of necessity for a murder charge, should not be heard by a court, but rather should rightfully be debated in Parliament.
However, lawyers acting for Mr Nicklinson, who describes his life as 'miserable and demeaning', successfully argued that his case should be heard on its very particular set of facts. They claim that this would not open the flood-gates, and instead would allow courts in future to decide such harrowing cases on their individual merits.
Mr Nicklinson was left paralysed by a stroke in 2005. He is unable to speak or move but is completely conscious of thought. His injuries mean that he must communicate by blinking into a computerised device which translates his thoughts into speech.
Mr Nicklinson's wife is his primary carer. She spoke yesterday about how she has witnessed her husband, who was previously an active man who played rugby and was described by colleagues as a typical 'alpha' male, become sullen and tearful on an almost daily basis as he struggles with his plight.
Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme, she said: "We are asking for it to be legal for someone to end his life," she said.
"If you knew the kind of person he was before, life like this is unbearable for him. He realises as he gets older things are going to get worse," she added.
In argument yesterday, counsel for Mr Nicklinson successfully argued that the MoJ had not produced any argument which was sufficient to justify striking out the action.
"The MoJ case is that necessity can never afford a defence to a charge of murder," said Paul Bowen, for Mr Nicklinson.
"[But they] cannot establish on the balance of probabilities that his case has no real prospects of success," he added.
Mr Bowen explained that Mr Nicklinson's case was an act of euthanasia or assisted suicide which represented "the only means by which his suffering may be brought to an end and his fundamental common law rights of autonomy and dignity may be vindicated".

I wanted to buy a camera and they had the best deal when it came to quality and price. I tell them I want it and they start grabbing the display one. Really? Can you at least lower the price because I'm not paying this much for a used one? "No, this is the lowest price we can sell this item, but this one has never been used." Oh. Suuuure, it hasn't. Fine, I'll take your word for it.
I went out to eat after I left the store and inspected the camera there. There's finger prints on the lens and a number of pictures and videos taken from inside the store. I decided to take it back and they're shocked I'm doing this. Big surprise! They said they can order me a new one (thanks for not suggesting this in the first place when I asked for a new one) from another store, but it'll take a couple of days. They said they'd call me when it came in. Of course, they didn't.
So I finally get ahold of the new camera. It has the attachments already attached, there's no batteries, and once again the lens is coated with finger prints. It shows more signs of use than the display camera.
I'm going to try to get my money back today. I'll let you know how smoothly that goes.

Ever since Beyoncé announced that she was pregnant during this year's Video Music Awards, fans, the press and naysayers alike all want to know the same thing: Is Beyoncé's baby bump for realsies? In one corner, fans are rooting for Beyoncé, standing by their girl and her proclamations that she is indeed carrying Jay-Z's baby. But in the other corner, naysayers are calling shenanigans to Bey and her bump, convinced that there's no bun baking in her oven. We have no idea what is true and what isn't, but we have been curiously inspecting the evidence and have decided to round up all the conspiracy theories to see if we really do have another Roswell on our hands…
In October on the Australian TV show Sunday Night, Beyoncé announced that her child was due in Feburary 2012.
According to the naysayers… Sorry Bey, but the math just doesn't add up! A video released today (above) shows Bey gushing about her pregnancy and showing off a rather large baby bump on the set of "Countdown," which was filmed on September 23, 2011. In the video, Beyoncé states that she is 6 months pregnant… which would make her 9 months pregnant in December… and 9 months is traditionally the point at which the baby decides to emerge from the womb… so it looks like Mamma Bey needs to get her story straight!
"Don't be ridiculous," say the fans… Beyoncé is known for being extremely private, and any discrepancies here can be explained away by the simple fact that Bey wants her real due date to remain a secret. There's a reason this video came out, and moreover a reason why Bey is so careful to state the date at the start — Beyoncé doesn't do anything by accident, and fans believe this is perfectly engineered to keep the birth as private as possible, much like her wedding to Jay-Z, the actual event of which was kept closely under wraps.

Some quick Monday bullets for you. We've got some more killer content coming up as the week gets going by the way.
• Gareth Barry has been told he's a "no-go" for the June 12th clash with the Yanks. Will Capello go offensive with either Lampard or Milner in the hole? Or will he play it safe with the knowledgeable, but limited Michael Carrick?
Currently, I see England starting with 4-4-2 with Peter Crouch and Rooney up top, which relegates Joe Cole to the bench. If Rooney goes it alone up top for the Queen, then Cole maintains his position wide left with a 5-man midfield of Lennon, Gerrard, Lampard, Cole with Carrick holding.
• A fantastic and high-praising article authored by none-other-than Everton skipper Davie Moyes on Landon Donovan and his World Cup teammates today in the Times of London. Moyes mentions Donovan's name in concert with Rooney and Messi. Wow.
• Word from the English press is that Jamie Carragher has handled the bulk of practice snaps in central defense with John Terry, but most expect Ledley King to start. Matthew Upson's been troubled with a fever and virus.
• Noted pressman-across-the-pond Oliver Kay tweeted the following about England's lackluster tune-up today against the Platinum Stars, South Africa's strongest domestic team:
FT Platinum Stars 0 England 3. Spain, Brazil, USA etc won't be quaking in their boots
• Reuters columnist Simon Evans on Jay DeMerit.

Southern Pines Garden Club set for 65th annual tour
The 65th Annual Southern Pines Garden Club Tour will be held Wednesday, April 10, featuring homes and gardens in Southern Pines and Pinehurst.
Old Field Cottage - 610 Old Field Road - Southern Pines
A short narrow country lane, Old Field Road, meanders through the pines between Highland and Weymouth Roads with "Old Field" cottage the only home facing it. Built in 1926 during the heyday of Weymouth, it is a hidden gem. Maureen Clark has added creative renovations for use and comfort. Her collection of North Carolina contemporary artists features Thomas Link, Tom Grubb and Nancy Tuttle May among others.
Home of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Dretel - 111 Calloway Place – Southern Pines
The world of Dressage combines elegance, strength and grace. It is a world familiar to Rhonda and Alan Dretel, and a lifestyle perfectly showcased within their home. Sweeping stands of poplars mark your journey through pastures sparkling green beneath the pines, slowly revealing the heart of Fly-Away Farm.
The Shamrock Cottage – 45 McCaskill Road – Pinehurst
Just shy of 100 years old, the Shamrock Cottage was built in 1917 by Warren Bicknell of Cleveland, Ohio. At the time he combined his first and last names ad called the cottage "Warbick." A world-class golfer, Roland MacKenzie, bought the home in 1963 and completely renovated it. The present owner, a MacKenzie heir, has retained the spirit of the house and this premier golf family. Her grandfather, W.C. Fownes, founded Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh.
Home of Mr. and Mrs. John Skvarla - 615 Linden Road - Pinehurst
This stately English country house aptly named "Whitehall" is located on historic Linden Road. It is surrounded by a leafy canopy of mature magnolia trees. A graceful drive leads to a beautiful fountain and the home beyond. In the late 1920s when the house was built, an unusual construction technique invented by Thomas Edison was used — 18 inch thick walls made of two courses of cement and rebar steel with an air pocket between to act as insulation. In 2003, the home was acquired by Elizabeth and John Skvarla.
Clara McLean Hospitality House/The Healing Garden - 20 FirstVillage Drive - Pinehurst
In April, 2012, Clara McLean House opened its doors. Offering overnight accommodations in an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere, "Clara's House" is a place to call home for patients of FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital and their loved ones. Tastefully decorated in muted hues of tan, green, and blue, the 20,000 square foot house exudes a welcoming warmth.
Just behind Clara McLean House lies the Healing Garden. Created and designed by volunteers in the style of a classical English garden, this green sanctuary evokes feelings of peace and tranquility. Visitors are treated to a series of garden rooms including a colorful children's garden, a secluded secret garden, a Monet-inspired rose walk, a cascading water garden, a wildlife garden, and many other features. The Clara McLean House and the Healing Garden are funded by community support through the Foundation of First Health.
Tickets for the tour can be purchased in advance at the Country Bookshop in Southern Pines and Lyne's Furniture in Pinehurst. Tour tickets are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the tour. Day of the tour tickets can be purchased at The Campbell House or at any home on the tour. Driving directions are also provided. Luncheon tickets for the Country Club of North Carolina are available the day of the tour at the Country Club and are $17 inclusive. A tour ticket is necessary to enter the gates at The Country Club of North Carolina. Additional information can be found on the website www.southernpinesgardenclub.com.

Ali: Labor of loveWritten by Sanya Ali | | firstname.lastname@example.com
I wasn't sure what I was getting into when Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller assigned me this special issue covering the American Red Cross summer benefit CD.
It began with the tongue-in-cheek question, "Are you a lover or a fighter?" I've never been a fighter, so I answered "lover." "Great, you are in charge of the Red Cross CD issue," he said (Staff Writer Amanda Tindall received the "fighter" assignment with last week's Military Yearbook issue).
When it came time for a briefing, Miller made me aware of a few key details of the project. The CD had not yet been completed but preparations began in January. At least 20 stories would need to be written. Then, he told me about the cause — the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio. For those of you who don't know Miller, he's very passionate about his causes. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous about the project.
Looking back, working on this issue was a collection of pleasant surprises.
My first revelation: I never knew the breadth of the Red Cross' mission. I believed the Red Cross was just an annual blood drive.
RELATED: Summer CD of local music to benefit American Red Cross
I have learned during the past few weeks that the Red Cross is a far-reaching organization that has touched lives affected by many different disasters. Be it a personal health struggle or a natural disaster, the Red Cross has been there to provide support and assistance. I had the pleasure of talking to Tim Yenrick, CEO of the Northwest Ohio branch, and Amanda Aldrich, their communications specialist.
Yenrick was so pleased with the results of last year's project, which raised more than $10,000, that he was more than ready to jump on board this year.
Aldrich filled in the gaps in my knowledge of our local Red Cross. I also spoke with Bo McComas, a volunteer with the Red Cross who informed me about the projects the Red Cross has been involved in during the past year alone. McComas serves in both the Disaster Relief and Service to the Armed Forces wings of the organization, so he sees a wide range of cases in which the Red Cross has made an impact.
I also heard a powerful story from a Red Cross beneficiary.
Tina Zeiter lost her home in a fire last year around the time she was planning to host her daughter's wedding. Thankfully, the Red Cross stepped in. They fed, clothed and housed Zeiter and her family and helped them rebuild. They've now been in their new house for three months. That is the kind of story people need to hear.
The second happy surprise: The musicians we worked with for this project are total gems. When I heard the CD for the first time, the sheer talent of these men and women struck me. Nearly every song on the CD is an original; there's only one cover. Put together, the tracks truly epitomize a real Toledo summer, whether they are explicitly about the Glass City or not.
The fact that Miller, the musicians and the project's sponsors are willing to give up time and resources for these causes gives me so much hope for journalism. This type of selflessness proves that newspapers are not just corporate entities. They are groups of caring people who want to give more than just a story to help address important issues.
Toledo Free Press Staff Writer Sanya Ali is project editor for the 2014 American Red Cross benefit CD issue. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chinese sign Rat
1972 corresponds to the Rat's year.
Rats are creative, problem solvers, hyperactive workers and very social. They have charm and outgoing personality but under the surface there is a shrewd and luck seeking character, sometimes aggressive. They are very curious and want to learn about everything. Their search and quick decisions often lead to complications, both in business and love. They take big risks and seldom have the one and same partner, they are often viewed as unserious. Risk takers that love game and hazard in all its forms
Rats are often charming and attract admirers. They have an active personality and can easily get a lot of friends. Party and big events are their melody, preferably of the more exclusive sort. Rats are smart and succeed well in what ever they get involved in. They adapt to the external environment and see possibilities where others dont. On the surface the Rat seems calm and under control, but their sometimes uncertain and aggressive character can cause big problems.

193. Roc Boys (And the winner is)... - Jay Z - Directed by Chris Robinson
January 1st 2009 23:43
Another great hip hop video from the master of the genre - Chris Robinson. This time he has Jay Z and a great track to work with in Roc Boys (And the winner is)... This clip is full of gangster iconography and a really strong narrative that weaves its way through the clip with the aid of titles. It is beautifully shot and features cameos from Mariah Carey (playing a gangster mole) and Sean 'Puff Daddy / P Diddy" Combes who also produced the track. Great samples and a killer riff (not disimilar to his girlfirend Beyonce's Crazy In Love) make this a memorable track with a great clip to go with it - enjoy

Antiplatelet Therapies: Aspirin at the Heart of New Directions

When introduced over 100 years ago, aspirin was prescribed as an analgesic drug to arthritic patients for pain relief. The prevalence of users grew quite rapidly and to this day, aspirin remains widely used in clinical practice. The popularity of aspirin resulted not only from its analgesic properties but also from a second benefit recognized later as an anti-platelet effect. It was this important activity of aspirin that made it one of the most recommended drugs for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The anti-platelet effect of aspirin emerged from the first few case reports published in the early 1900s and was described as a mild bleeding. The molecular mechanisms involved were described in 1971 and constituted the irreversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 enzyme and prevention of platelet aggregation. Today, the contribution of aspirin to our understanding of cardiovascular health persists and remains considerable. Observations from large cohorts of aspirin users generate massive amount of valuable information used in the identification of factors influencing the potential risk for cardiovascular diseases, including sex, age and genetic predisposition. Aspirin and the path of discovery leading to its anti-platelet activity has taken a hundred years was based on manifestations of effects observed in its users, and it remains a successful strategy for the identification of new avenues to treat cardiovascular diseases associated with hyper-platelet activity. The contribution of aspirin to the understanding of cardiovascular diseases and to the design of effective treatment and prevention strategies, remains of high importance in our society.

Get a strike with Rhino bowling shoes
If you're a firm believer in what-you-don't-know-can't-hurt-you, then go ahead and borrow or rent out your bowling shoes. But do you know what's been in them or rather who's been in them? No? If it bothers you to use gear that others have previously used, then it might be time to invest in some of your own bowling equipment.
- You can use your own bowling shoes. Who knows what kinds of bacteria you'll find in rented shoes. If I were you, I'd use my own shoes. Every time! Good quality equipment like Rhino bowling shoes and Rhino bowling balls are sure to improve your game.
- Another problem with renting out shoes is that they may not fit you well and you will perform worse with ill-fitting shoes. The sliding soles let you slide and move on the lanes easily. Moreover, soft-soled bowling shoes don't scuff up the lanes. They improve your overall game by helping you maintain good posture and balance.
- Athletic tennis shoes and the like may offer proper cushioning initially but you may find your feet and body ache later. If you're a seasoned player, you'll be more comfortable in performance bowling shoes that pro bowlers use. They generally have one sliding sole and one non-slip for easy movement.
You can choose a single color or multicolored shoes to suit your personality. Large sports shops will give you a chance to try them on first or you can order online if you already know your size.

Hi, my name is Meinard. I'm a 29 year-old guy living in Hawaii. I enjoy watching my LAKERS play ball and anything that involves hanging out with my family and friends.
So why did I start this blog?
I've been reselling thrift store items on Ebay for five years now. I'm not here to lie to you and tell you that reselling thrift store items will make you a millionaire, or that you should retire from you're job to be a full-time reseller. That's not why I started this blog. The truth is that reselling probably won't make you a millionaire, but reselling can be a great secondary source of income for anyone!!
The profits that I've made from thrift store reselling pays my monthly phone bills, credit card bills, and even my student loan payments. And I still have enough left aside for "beer money" and taking my girlfriend out to dinner. It's not rocket science and I'm confident that anyone can do this.
With this blog, I hope to create a place where resellers can connect and share ideas. I wanted to create a venue where I can share my passion and teach others how to do the same thing.
I'm not an expert by any means and I realize that I still have A TON of things to learn. But what I do have is years of experience that have brought me many successess and failures. I plan to share those lessons with you so that you can avoid the mistakes that I've made and hopefully-with some persistence and a little bit of luck-you will start making additional income as a reseller too!!
Good luck with the treasure-hunt!

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Tourney face-off an early preview for LLHS, BHS
The Los Lunas and Belen volleyball teams faced each other in the opening game of the Tournament of Champions Gold Bracket over the weekend — a preview of their upcoming district matches.
The Tigers won their battle against the Eagles in three games on Friday, but both teams finished the tournament going 1-2 after facing tough competition.
After winning every game in pool play to earn the a No. 1 seed, Los Lunas entered their match against Belen Friday night with confidence, said coach Amy Bell. What resulted was a 25-17, 25-20, 25-21 Tiger win over the Eagles.
"We played pretty well but so did Belen — they're a scrappy team," said Bell. "Overall we played very well as a team. Everyone contributed and played with a lot of energy and enthusiasm."
Belen coach Dominick Romero said his team played from behind the entire match.
"We were on the verge," he said. "There were opportunities but we couldn't put together any long runs or rallies. They made a few more runs in first set, enough to give them the lead. They've got some good personnel."
The Tigers moved to the winner's bracket semifinals, where they came up against 2012 Class 4A runners-up Piedra Vista. The Panthers came out quickly and controlled the match, winning 25-20, 25-12, 25-20. Los Lunas then moved to the third-place game, falling to the host Santa Fe High 25-20, 25-21 and 25-22.
"Piedra Vista is a very good team," said Bell. "They haven't lost a match all season and we were a little intimidated. I wasn't disappointed."
However, Bell said she was disappointed in the final game against the Demonettes.
"They were in all three games but we made far too many errors," Bell said. "We made it too easy for them to earn points. We were basically giving them points."
Bell said sophomore hitter/blocker Jordan Holland and sophomore setter Kelsey Bell, the coach's daughter, had particularly good showings during the tournament.
Belen moved into the consolation bracket on Saturday, also facing a state semifinalist in defending Class 3A champion Pojoaque Valley. The Elkettes won 25-15, 25-12, 25-14 sending the Eagles to the seventh-place game, where Belen lost game on but roared back to defeat Las Vegas Robertson 23-25, 25-15, 25-20 and 25-11.
Romero said going in, that his team wanted to be in the Gold Bracket, citing Pojoaque as a solid opponent.
"That team is phenomenal, really solid, just a real fluid team," Romero said. "We saw our draw in the Gold Bracket and knew we'd face tough competition all weekend."
Things came together for the Eagles against the Lady Cardinals, Romero said.
"We led pretty much throughout," he said. "The girls were solid and sharp throughout all four sets and really took care of business in the last three. It was great to leave with a win."
Senior hitter Victoria Spragg was named to the Tournament of Champions All-Tournament team for the second tournament in a row.
Los Lunas (2-6) played Class 5A Albuquerque High at home on Tuesday then travels to Albuquerque Eldorado tonight. Results of those matches, as well as Valencia High's match against Albuquerque West Mesa tonight, are available online at www.news-bulletin.com in our "Web Exclusive" story.
Belen (5-4) now has the week off to prepare for their District 6-4A opener at Los Lunas High on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

Is it a coincidence that Africa's most troubled region is also its least integrated? SIMON ALLISON explores why central Africa has failed to make any progress on regional unity, and what this means for its future (no, it's not good news). After all, a region is only as effective as the sum of its parts.
October 25th is Central African Regional Integration Day. Few people know or observe this holiday because the citizens of Africa's poorest and most conflict-prone region have little to celebrate.
The Organisation of African Unity, the predecessor of the African Union (AU), established the African Economic Community (AEC) when its member states signed the Abuja Treaty in 1991. The AEC is based on the premise that regional integration solves all manner of ills: trade imbalances and barriers, social disunity, cross-border tensions and poor living standards. Name it and regional integration will fix it.
In the places where it has happened, regional integration has helped kickstart moribund economies and enhance regional security. Not every region, however, can boast impressive results.

The announcement that Daniels will become president of Purdue University led to speculation that he is eager to make a mark in the roiling universe of higher education.
Certainly, the nation's colleges require much greater fiscal discipline, and Daniels will provide some of that.
But he wouldn't have taken the job if it was just about cost-cutting. The recent tumult at the University of Virginia is a microcosm of a broader conflict: the staid, slow- moving university pitted against the business exigencies of a competitive future. The Virginia faculty rallied to the defense of Teresa Sullivan, the president, spurring a protest of 2,000 people on campus and condemnation of the board of trustees for its secretive tactics. The professors won this round. But the debate in Virginia was not over whether the university has to change, but how fast. Such conflicts are likely to proliferate.
