Pull up bars and rope climbing, timed sprints and free weights. No, it's not a middle school gymnasium. It's where locals can get one of Park City's newest workouts, CrossFit Miners Town, and it is much harder than a typical gym period.
The new business, which opened in June, is building a model on tried-and-true workout techniques with a crossfit twist.
Whether it's running, weight lifting or resistance training, owner and trainer Michael Lynch believes in the crossfit method where members of the gym perform a number of tasks during a session, moving between workout stations. The goal is simple: never stop moving.
CrossFit uses a competitive atmosphere to push participants to the next level, using a combination of weightlifting exercises and cardiovascular activities, and all the while Lynch is there driving members toward their goals.
An introductory workout could include a wide array of activities, all with the purpose of jarring the body into weight loss and building muscle as members bounce from set to set. Squats, pull ups, burpees, thrusters. Repeat.
"We don't isolate muscle groups here," he said. "Crossfit is bigger than coming in and lifting weights. It's a paradigm shift, a style of working out, an ability to break through mental barriers so that you walk away with more self-confidence."
Experience and athletic ability are not a requirement to join, Lynch said, with a handful of his members in their 70s. The fitness program, designed specifically to be general, could benefit grandmothers and Olympic athletes alike, he added, setting a baseline for each new member and starting from there.
More than once, members walked through the doors with a single objective. No, not weight loss or better muscle tone, though both are side effects.
"People come in all the time saying their biggest goal is to be able to do a pull up," Lynch said. "It's a common goal, and one that is very attainable here."
Lynch has seen a wide range of abilities when people first join, with some not able to do a full squat on their first try. But before long, their confidence and abilities shift toward becoming stronger.
"That's the thing about crossfit," Lynch said. "It gets into your blood. You drink the Kool-Aid."
Lynch is a California native who moved to Park City with his wife more than seven years ago. Before taking on his first business, he worked in architecture firms in the local area. But the desk job was wearing on him, the original prompt for Lynch to get into crossfit. After his first session more three years ago, Lynch, a high school and college athlete, said he was hooked. And from there, his wife became hooked. Then his mother.
"It was an eye-opening experience," he said. "There was a lot more that I needed to do to be fit."
New members receive a free intro to the program where they can learn how crossfit works. After another three beginner sessions during which Lynch works one-on-one to develop form and explain the way the system works, members join a class and would work with others to improve their time in completing workouts or push themselves to do more.
And Lynch pushes people to talk, to get to know the people they are working out with, an aspect of suffering together, he said. People discuss their goals, their diets, where they started, and the gym is even hosting a Paleo-Diet Challenge that members can participate in.
"This becomes a social club to those who keep coming," Lynch said. "It's amazing to see the community interaction that forms here. Friends tell friends who tell friends. Pretty soon we have neighbors and groups of friends who all become crossfitters. It's a built-in support system."

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Perennials
Seaweed for Plants
by Robert Kourik
Long ago, gardeners who lived near the ocean learned that seaweed was good for their plants. Exactly how it works is difficult to pin down, but scientists have found in seaweeds a veritable soup of plant-growth stimulants, vitamins, chelating agents, trace minerals, enzymes, and amino acids, all of which influence the growth of plants in different ways.
Robert Parnes in his classic Organic & Inorganic Fertilizers (Woods End Agricultural Institute, 1986; $40) says, "Perhaps the most important merit of seaweed is its content of assimilable organic materials, in particular the growth hormones."
Seaweeds contain small amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. On a dry-weight basis, seaweeds contain up to 1.2 percent nitrogen, 0.2 to 1.3 percent phosphorus, and 2.8 to 10 percent potassium.
Several university studies have shown that seaweed can produce dramatic results in plants: geraniums produced more flowers per plant; grapes were sweeter; gladiolus corms grew larger; and cucumber yields increased 40 percent and the fruits suffered less often from softening and rotting. Improved yields after seaweed treatments were measured in potatoes, sweet corn, peppers, tomatoes, apples, strawberries, okra, and oranges. Better frost tolerance, increased seed germination, and greater capacity to absorb trace elements were other documented benefits for plants.
Seaweed for Gardeners
When gardeners talk about using seaweed on their plants, they are usually referring to a brown algae, specifically the one known as knotweed or rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum). It's common off the coast of Norway but also grows along the American coast from northern Maine to Canada and throughout northern seas. The seaweed industry had an early start in Norway where seaweed supply was abundant, hence the "Norway" on the labels of many seaweed products.
The seaweed product that's been around longest (40 years) is Maxicrop. It is normally sold as a concentrated dry powder that you mix with water and apply to plants as a spray. But it is also available as a liquid concentrate, as are most other seaweeds.
Most liquid seaweed fertilizers are extractions manufactured by hydrolysis, and most of the basic research done with seaweeds (by T. L. Senn, formerly of Clemson University) used this form. You might read about liquid seaweed products that are "cold-pressed" or "enzymatically digested", but little research exists regarding these materials. Seaweed is also available as a dry meal intended for adding to soil. Liquid concentrates cost more than the powders, but they are much easier to mix with water.
Another seaweed fertilizer is derived from California bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana). It is offered only by Peaceful Valley Farm Supply, whose catalog claims this fertilizer is more potent than ascophyllum-based products, but I haven't seen any research to back up such claims.

First let me point out the cleverness of the title. I'm sleep deprived, and I managed to channel it to a creative end. Or something like that. Now that my sleep is gone I figure let me make a smokey eye out of my dark circles (the make-up equivalent of making lemonade out of lemons if you will). Enter Chanel Illusoire Illusion d'Ombre shadow.
Illusoire comes in a round pot and an applicator that while cute, I ditched fairly quickly. The texture feels like a light cream, almost mousse like. It's very soft and blendable and even if I hadn't been so sold on the co our, the texture itself would have tempted me. However, the colour is truly what woke me up from my nap to write this review.
Illusoire is a very shimmery taupe-grey with a hint of purple to my eye. I once bought Bobbi Brown's Galaxy cream shadow hoping it would be the perfect grey for a quick smokey eye. Alas, while that hope was shattered as quickly as my belief that carob was a legitimate replacement for chocolate (it's not, don't even try to convince me). However, Illusoire is everything I had wanted Galaxy to be and more. It lends itself to a quick smokey eye with a great depth of colour. It's not too cool or flat a gray for me to feel uncomfortable with it. The complexity and shimmer of the colour make me feel so polished and glam in a swipe.
The lasting power, well it's pretty decent worn alone. I have never experienced a cream shadow that didn't crease on me without primer. I laugh defiantly in the face of companies that claim their cream shadows won't crease, and Chanel has me still laughing. However, I can get eight hours wear with a primer underneath. So maybe I'm just smiling at the lasting power claims then.
Bottom line? Run, don't walk to get this if you love a great shadow for a very wearable, quick smokey eye. And rob a bank on the way because it will cost you a pretty penny.

About 80 percent of children and young adults with cancer will survive. Unfortunately for many children, surviving cancer is only half of the battle.
Childhood cancer survivors require specialized, long-term follow-up care. Sometimes a patient's treatment can impact their health and quality of life for years to come. Effects of treatment may include learning disabilities, growth and physical maturity complications and more.
Identifying and treating these problems early helps cancer survivors lead a full life, including school, work and a family of their own. So, any survivor of childhood cancer who has been off treatment for two years should be enrolled in a cancer survivorship program.
Our team of healthcare providers offers a Survivor Toolkit that helps cancer survivors be their own advocate.
After undergoing treatment for a rare form of cancer, Trisha Henry Gaffney was eager to put her health problems behind her. The last thing she wanted to do was dwell on the effects of her illness. With help from the Survivor Program, Trisha was able to take control of her future. Read more.

On Sustainable Business Models, and Comparing Apples to Oranges
The American Society of Media Photographers' program, "Sustainable Business Models: Issues & Trends Facing Visual Artists," held September 27 in New York City, can be viewed online via ASMP's video library. Speakers and panelists provided useful context and insights into the current marketplace for photography, as well as thoughts on how professional freelancers might adapt their marketing and licensing in today's economy. A warning, however: Along with provocative insights, the afternoon panel also included the predictable, banal observation that photojournalists have no role to play now that "everyone has a cellphone," and statistics on how many images are uploaded to Facebook or Instagram each day or each hour or each minute. If you're like me, you find these comments irritating. Because the first comment is untrue, and the second is irrelevant to any discussion of the professional photography business.
Yes, news editors trolled Instagram to get images of the aftermath of the Empire State Building shooting, but those image sales had no impact on the market for photos by professional news photographers: If amateur cellphone users hadn't been on the scene, we simply wouldn't have had any images of the carnage. Yes, a zillion snapshots of cats, babies and plates of food are shared on social media every day. What bearing does that have on what a professional photographer offers to clients or their audience?

Sure, it's nice to look at this $19 million Deer Valley monstrosity and imagine a man knocks on your door one day to tell you that Dick Cheney, having to pay off outstanding student loans at Wyoming, donated to a sperm bank and wamm-o, next thing you know you're on the Jackson Back 40 riding a horse called Ol' Paint listening to "Dad" regale you with stories about starting voluntary wars and, here, indeed is your share of Halliburton stock options.
But for the rest of us, $19 million is as untenable right now as $900k, or even $90k.
And that antiquated notion of home ownership is nothing more than a relic from the generation who left us with a $13 trillion debt, gadgets whose lifespans are two years (max) and Microsoft Windows - until perhaps now.
Take a gander at this 8-minute video on how to build, (yes, own) and live in a tiny house. Three-hundred square feet = an $8/month electricity bill, no maintenance and, when it comes time to remove the shingle and head for greener pastures, it fits on a trailer. ...So like, no HOA dues either:
'Course, this notion may ring less true in the land of four-plus children, but the lesson is clear: We can all do more with a little less.

CT Scans Could Raise Cancer Risk...
Last year, host of NBC's Meet the Press, Tim Russert, shockingly collapsed and died from a heart attack, after apparently just passing a cardiovascular stress test.
It raised questions about typical heart tests. And now, new findings in the Archives of Internal Medicine claim commonly prescribed CT scans could increase the risk of radiation-induced cancer.
CT scans use radiation to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of an object and are often used to detect things like brain tumors, stroke, aneurysm and the extent of trauma-related injuries.
In the study, scientists claim if men, ages 25 to 75, and women, ages 55 to 75, received CT scans every five years there would be an additional 42 cases of cancer for every 100,000 men and 62 more cases of cancer per 100,000 women.
The researchers say even though the increased risk is small, doctors should be careful to limit their patients' exposure to radiation.
And in 2007, some experts came down hard on conventional stress-testing and angiograms.

Fierce Warriors: How to inspire our daughters to pursue remarkable careers in science and technology
Many of us are guilty of inspiring our children to pursue the quixotic quest of athletic immortality rather than exalting the virtues of math and science in our everyday lives. Even my mathematically inclined son told me that he would like to be an NBA player but only if he doesn't make it into the NFL. Well at least he's learned the importance of having a back-up plan.

When people recognize her these days, Madeleine Stowe notices, they tend to whisper and give sidelong glances rather than come up and chat. "I think they're a little scared of my character," she says with a laugh. Fair enough. Victoria Grayson, East Hampton's lady of the grandest house, a 24,000-square-foot nest on ABC's hit drama Revenge, is a force to be reckoned with. To maintain her social standing, she must keep the lid on her Pandora's box of a past, and to that end Stowe's regal Grayson seems prepared to perpetrate untold wickedness. Inspired by Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo, Revenge is a riveting stew of lies, sex, murder and greed smothered in endless reserves of cash—a mix so addictive that in the show's first season it beat out a long-running Wednesday-night competitor, NBC's Law & Order: SVU. Stowe's character, fond of Leger bandage dresses and Louboutin heels, presides coolly over the feast, a gorgeous sphinx whose history has yet to be revealed.
The actress is something of a riddle herself. In 1994, at the height of a movie career that included acclaimed turns as the aristocratic beauty who wins Daniel Day-Lewis's trapper heart in The Last of the Mohicans and the constantly deceived wife of Tim Robbins's philandering cop in Short Cuts, she quit Hollywood and moved to a 400-acre cattle ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas. "I'd worked with the best filmmakers on the planet," Stowe says. "But there were other things I wanted to do, other lives I wanted to live. I just got to the point where I wanted to be somewhere else."
She has settled into a leather sofa in the lobby of Santa Monica's Casa del Mar hotel. Wearing a black fitted motorcycle jacket over a black turtleneck and black leggings, and black lace-up heels that fall somewhere between biker chic and nun shoes, the 53-year-old Stowe effortlessly turns heads. As her friend Mudcat Saunders, a Virginia-based political strategist, drawls, "Madeleine is one of those women who are 10 times more beautiful without makeup." Much like her TV character, Stowe is notable for her penetrating eyes, erect bearing, deliberate diction and thoughtful speech. She and her character have complexity in common, too. Indeed, before the Revengerole came up, Stowe told her agents she was through with acting. But Grayson's cunning appealed to her, she says, as did "her capacity to love but to be so damaged that she would in essence annihilate herself and the person that she loved at the same time."
"Madeleine's character could have been the most one-dimensional, typical villain," says Emily VanCamp, 26, who plays Grayson's nemesis. "But she's brought so much humanity to this woman. As much as Victoria does these terrible things, you feel for her. You really want to know where she's been."
When Stowe returned to Hollywood, audiences wondered the same about her, and the answer was simple, if surprising: She'd been living life as a cowgirl. When she and her husband, actor Brian Benben (Private Practice), moved to Fredericksburg (population at the time: under 7,000), they went Western. The couple rode horses, cleaned stalls and raised cattle. They threw Fourth of July barbecues, set off fireworks at their lake and hiked for miles. After their daughter, May, was born in 1996, "Maddy would put the baby in her pouch and take her along, too," says Carolyn Kyle, who ran the ranch with her husband, Ted. "Maddy was always in jeans, a flannel shirt, a straw hat and sunglasses."
Stowe commuted for Hollywood projects—The General's Daughter with John Travolta, The Propositionwith Kenneth Branagh—but left celebrity decorum on the tarmac. One night in Texas, Ted Kyle, now 75, saw her drive past with Benben in her white Ford pickup and "noticed something in the window," he says. "I couldn't make it out. Later Maddy told me she'd thought it would be funny if she mooned me. She's a fun, fun person." When a gaggle of cowboys dared her to snack on a pair of bull testicles, freshly harvested and briefly seared in the branding fire during a castration roundup, "well, she jumped right in and ate them," says her friend Kellie Macy, the Kyles' daughter. "That is so her."
At night on the ranch, the Kyles would sit on the back porch and tell stories about the area, including one about Quanah Parker, a famous Comanche chief whose mother was a white woman kidnapped by the tribe as a young girl. The abduction of white children by Native Americans was common in Texas in the mid-19th century, and Stowe became obsessed with the phenomenon. "I started doing research," she says. "If these kids survived, they'd often become so acculturated that when their parents finally found them, they never wanted to come back." The experience of being caught between two worlds resonated. "I guess," she says, "I always felt that way myself."
The eldest of three, Stowe grew up in Eagle Rock, then a working-class L.A. neighborhood. Her mother was Costa Rican, from a well-to-do family that counted presidents of that country in its lineage. Her father, born into a poor Oregon family (his father was a gravedigger), was a self-taught civil engineer prone to rages. "Sometimes he would come home at night and destroy everything in the house," says Stowe. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 28 and forced to retire when Stowe was six, he was eventually confined to a wheelchair. "He would fall off chairs and his bed, and my brother would have to pick him up," she recalls, adding, "He was six foot one." The disease also took his memory, making communication rudimentary. "He'd answer questions monosyllabically," she says. "He watched one television station and smoked two packs of Winstons a day. But as a child, you have great devotion to your parents." Stowe would hover over him with water lest his lit cigarette fall into the sofa. "I don't want to go dark," she says, "but it was full-time care."
She didn't bring friends home. "I was always afraid of being deeply humiliated," she says, and that fear left its toll. "I don't think, Oh, I wish I'd had another life, but it did create a split in me," she admits. "I always had a recessive quality. I could never come out of the shadows too well. When I did and my film career was really going, it would create a certain stress level, and I would sort of disappear. It was as if I didn't want to be exposed too much."
Fredericksburg afforded her privacy and freedom but didn't erase her anxieties. "As a mother, I was always looking under my daughter's bed and checking her closet every single night with the idea that somebody might take her from us," she says. "It was my worst nightmare." It was also the genesis for a passion project. With her thirties behind her, Stowe found herself "unmoored." She made a few movies—Impostor with Gary Sinise, a TV version of The Magnificent Ambersons, the destined-for-video Octane—but "it was a lost period for me," she says. "The pieces weren't coming together. In your thirties, you've come into your own. It's a glorious era—most women now have children in their thirties. When the forties creep up, unless you're so crazy driven, they just knock you on your behind."
Stowe decided to focus her energy—and create a role she could get excited about—by turning her research on Native American abductions into a movie. In 2003 she and Benben finished the first draft of Unbound Captives, a sprawling Western about a white woman whose children are taken by Comanches in the 1860s. "I have a very romantic sensibility," she says, "and at its core, this is a large love story. I wanted the landscape and characters to be inextricable in an almost otherworldly sense. I think love is an otherworldly thing that we can't define easily. I can't." That year, 20th Century Fox, seeing it as a project for Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott, offered $5 million for the script but no role for Stowe. "Without a moment's thought," she says, "I turned it down."
Stowe didn'tgrow up dreaming of becoming an actress. She studied piano with renowned Russian pianist Sergei Tarnowsky, who'd taught the young Vladimir Horowitz and whom she regarded as a surrogate father. "He had two grand pianos, side by side," she remembers. "He'd sit on the bench with me and place his fingertips on my wrists to see if they were loose. I always remember his hands."
Music was one escape, films were another; she drank up their fantasy worlds and idolized the characters who inhabited them. "In the late '60s and '70s, there were Pacino and Hoffman and De Niro and Nicholson, and they blew your mind," she says. "I loved the sprawling epics, like Doctor Zhivago." Stowe spent a year at the University of Southern California, studying journalism and film, and earned gas money working as an usher at a playhouse in Beverly Hills. There she met Dennis Quaid, her first date and the first boy she kissed. "I was very shy," she says. "He told a friend of mine he thought I was a virgin, and he couldn't take that responsibility. Very sweet!" When the two worked together on 1998's Playing by Heart, Stowe reminded Quaid that they'd dated. "He said, 'Did we . . . ?' I said, 'No. We didn't.' "
While handing out playhouse programs, Stowe was spotted by legendary agent Meyer Mishkin, who asked if she had ever been interested in acting (she hadn't). A few months later, they met, and after she performed a scene, he signed her. Stowe became one of the rare actresses on his roster at the time. Mishkin was known for handling men, among them Lee Marvin, Richard Dreyfuss and Charles Bronson.
Far from being intimidated, Stowe was invigorated by the macho company; she's always been a guy's kind of girl. Several years ago, when Oscar-winning screenwriter and director Paul Haggis (Crash) invited her and Benben to one of his "boys' night" gatherings, her husband declined, but Stowe accepted and spent the evening on her own with Haggis, Oliver Stone, Josh Brolin and other men she calls "mega-intelligent." She attributes her desire to bond with the opposite sex to her incomplete relationship with her father: "I didn't know him. I found myself gravitating toward very powerful men. I have a real ease when I'm around them, because the need to connect to them has always been great."
Under agent Mishkin's direction, Stowe's acting career grew slowly. As a wide-eyed Mary in 1978's The Nativity, she convinced a befuddled Joseph (John Shea) that she had conceived their child through an angel—a far cry from her steamy embraces with Kevin Costner in a 1990 movie called (coincidentally) Revenge and a comic grapple that same year with Jack Nicholson in his Chinatown sequel, The Two Jakes. "I felt very free," Stowe says of those scenes. "I still do." Which explains Victoria Grayson's lusty Revenge interlude with an old beau played by James Purefoy. "The network was like, 'Oh my God, what are we going to do with this?' " says Stowe. "But it's psychological. You're not seeing anything explicit. I feel very relaxed about it." Nor does she expect Benben to object. "Brian did Dream On!" says his wife. "He had at least one naked woman in bed every episode."
Though she has lived with Benben since late 1980 and has been wed to him for nearly 26 years, Stowe claims she's "the worst person" to approach for marriage tips. "I've never known a perfect marriage," she says. "We've definitely had peaks and valleys. I hate saying that marriage is work, because I don't think of it that way, but sometimes you find yourselves on different paths. Then you converge again. I think our convergences are longer in duration than our separate paths." It no doubt helps that she considers Benben "the funniest human being you'll ever meet."
It was 1992's The Last of the Mohicans that made Hollywood stand up and take notice of Stowe. "She was absolutely terrific," says Michael Mann, who helmed the movie. "As a director, you start out imagining what you want the character to be. With Madeleine, she was all that and more. She could be extreme, and you can only do that if you're totally authentic. In every way—intellectually, hormonally—she was this character. She gave everything to those moments."
And those moments begat more moments. She landed roles in Short Cuts, China Moon and Blink. She starred opposite Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys and joined Drew Barrymore, Andie MacDowell and Mary Stuart Masterson for an all-female gunslinger posse in Bad Girls. It was going on location for that film, which was shot near Fredericksburg, that convinced Stowe to buy up a chunk of Texas and relocate.
She stayed there for more than a decade. Then, six years ago, she and Benben moved back to L.A., where Stowe continued to revise and peddle her script. "This is my thing, and Brian's stepped away from it," she says. "He's an unusual man that way." Different actors and directors showed interest, but the movie never lifted off. Then she turned 50 and had an epiphany: Instead of playing the lead (a woman now much younger than she), Stowe would direct. "I'm visually oriented," she says. "It seemed like the right thing to do." Since she made that decision, Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz have signed on to star, Oscar winner John Toll (Braveheart) is on board as the cinematographer, and the funding is falling into place. "I'm on fire with this idea of what I want this film to be and bringing together these incredibly gifted people and having a dynamic conversation," she says. Director Terry Gilliam, known for his works of mad genius (Brazil, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus), gives his 12 Monkeys star a thumbs-up. "Madeleine's been so determined to do what she wants to do in her own way," he says from his home in London. "She's pigheaded and smart, and she knows film. She's got it."
Unbound Captives is not Stowe's only passion project. In 2008 her friend Haggis invited her to Haiti to meet Father Rick Frechette, a physician and Catholic priest dedicated to providing the country's poor with essentials for living. Haggis heads up Artists for Peace and Justice, a group that helps fund Father Frechette's work with the St. Luke Foundation for Haiti, and he asked Stowe to join him for the same reason he asked her to be the centerpiece of his boys' night: "She's ballsy, and she can hold her own."
Many celebrities have gravitated to Haiti, but, Father Frechette says, "it's easy for us to see who's here for adventure and who's here for commitment. From the start, Madeleine was here for commitment. We engage in a lot of dialogue about a lot of things: the horrors we see, the things we're planning, what crazy idea might be worth trying out. Her feedback is poignant and astute and wise." Ironically, the exposure-phobic actress has persuaded the priest to increase his visibility. Stowe burnished his website and accompanied him to Washington to explain his progress and the need for funds.
Since 2008, Stowe has flown to Haiti several times a year. If she's in the country on a Thursday, she goes with Father Frechette and his team on their weekly trip to Port-au-Prince's public morgue, helping to slip bloated corpses into body bags and tucking a rosary into each before taking them for burial. "It's tragic," she says. "Little babies are the hardest to see. The men have to light cigarettes and drink rum to obliterate the stench—which I can't do because I'd be on the floor. These guys are committed to taking the dead on to the next world. They sing incredible Creole songs." The work is difficult, but Stowe loves it. "It connects me to the living," she says. "I see these broken bodies as a reminder of what has to be done down there."
Once again, her father's specter looms. Caring for him, Stowe says, gave her the wherewithal to persevere through the most heart-wrenching moments in Haiti: "While I'm there, I experience the joy of the people who are living. When I come home, I weep. It's a little like PTSD. But within a week, I'm dying to get back there." In October at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, Father Frechette's order of priests, the Passionists, will present Stowe, Haggis and the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli awards for their support in Haiti.
With her TV show, her film project and her commitment to bringing attention to Haiti, it's unlikely that in the near future anyone will be asking where Madeleine Stowe has gone. Still, the star predicts, she will "probably continue to drop off the face of the earth from time to time." In your fifties, she believes, "you really want to put the burn on, to do as many things in life as possible, go where you haven't been, experience what you haven't experienced, leave a body of work that's significant to you. I feel very good about this period of time."

Here are solutions to some common problems with importing video from a digital video (DV) camera.
This can occur for the following reasons:
The DV camera is not powered on.
The DV camera went into standby mode. Some DV cameras will go into standby mode if the DV camera is in the record (Camera) mode with a tape in it and no video or audio is being sent to or from the camera.
To fix the problem, do one or more of the following, and then try again:
Verify that the DV device is connected properly to your computer with an IEEE 1394 connection or a USB 2.0 connection.
Verify that the DV camera is powered on and in VCR (playback) mode.
Switch off the DV camera and then switch it on again in VCR (playback) mode.
Make sure that a videotape is properly inserted in the DV camera, and then verify that the tape loader on the camera is completely closed. Try importing video again.
This message occurs if you are capturing video at a higher quality setting on a volume or partition that is using the FAT32 file system. The file system is used by MS-DOS and other Windows-based operating systems to organize and manage files.
To fix this problem, do one or more of the following:
Reduce the amount of video you import using Import Video.
Choose a lower video setting for your imported video.
If your computer's hard disk has multiple partitions, and one is formatted using the NTFS file system, go back in Import Video, and then save your video to that partition.
Convert your file system to use the NTFS file system, which does not have a file size limit.
Close any open applications.
Convert your file system to use the NTFS file system. To learn more, see Convert a hard disk or partition to NTFS format.

Last week I got asked to do a last minute booking – super stylist Joey Bevan needed a hairstylist for a major relaunch for international make-up brand, Kryolan. I've been planning to go this event with my dear friend, (and fellow make-up geek!) Ana, in anyway, and it was because of her that I actually ended up doing the hair for the event, under Joey's watchful eye!
The event was held at the Chemistry Centre in Burlington House, which tied in perfectly with Kryolan's strap line, Make-up is a Science.
The launch had 6 key looks, using Kryolan's amazing products, and the make-up looks were truly extraordinary! The looks were Beauty, Theatre, Body Art, Cinema, Special FX and Fashion.
For the official photos, please have a look HERE
I've had a brilliant time playing with Annabelle's Wigs, using them for volume, length, a colour change for one of the models, and a winge (fake fringe!!)
For the fashion look, I've made a hair bow using the model's natural hair.
For the body paint model, the whole head was covered with silver pin curl grips (in this picture, it's still unfinished) This was to complement the futuristic feel of the body paint (which included a Kryolan QR Code!)
For the cinema look, inspired by Audrey Hepburn, I've had to use quite a few hairpieces, including a fake fringe, as the model's hair was much lighter than the colour we wanted. Isn't she gorgeous!
For the theatre look, I've tonged the model's hair, then used a wig to bulk out her own hair. I then used some of Annabelle's Wigs Clip in Extensions to bulk out her hair even more, and to add more length. The look was finished by spraying Kryolan's white hairspray at the roots.
The beauty model's hair was set to acheive big curls, then we used TWO of Annabelle's Wigs 3/4 wigs to boost her hair.
Unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of the special fx models, but you could have a look at the inspiration here.
I've been using Kryolan since I've starting playing with make-up, and I was so excited to hear that they have revamped the range!! I've been so inspired by the brand video, which you can see here. It's a short film to show the heritage of the family-owned brand, and you'd even be able to see how they manufacture some of their products!
The key products of the range for me are the following –
Lipstick in LC334 – This bright orangey-pink lipcolour feels really moisturising on the lips, and it's a surprisingly wearable shade given how bright it looks in the tube.
Shimmering Vision Palette – I just HAD to invest in this for my kit!! Gorgeous cream colours that blend like a dream, can't wait to use this in shoots!
Make-up Blend: Created to be mixed with cream make-up to make it smooth or dilute, whether it's foundation or lipstick, this little bottle of wonder is set to be a kit staple now.
Eye Shadow Primer: A tiny drop blended across your lids is all you need for eyeshadow to stay put, without any creasing.
All of these products will be available at the new look Charles Fox in Covent Garden, London. I've paid them a visit yesterday, and it really is a make-up junkie's dream!!

- Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving. Chop three maraschino cherries and pat dry; arrange cherries and reserved pineapple around edge of pie. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and caramel topping. Dollop remaining whipped topping onto center of pie. Sprinkle with pecans; top with remaining cherry. Yield: 10 servings.
Reviews for Banana Split Cheesecake
"Another recipe for a tropical punch also called for pineapple sherbet and I've been to 5 stores and starting to believe it doesn't exist! lol Does ANYONE know who carries it??"
"it was good, but I left off the marachino cherries and the chocolate and caramel syrup because I had a diabetic guest who turned down a serving of glazed carrots so he could eat the dessert. We didn't miss the cherries or the syrup. However, 1/3 cup of pineapple wasn't enough to sprinkle on top. Next time I'll put all the pineapple in the filling. Carolyn Williamson"
"This was awesome. My husband loved it"
"This recipe is wonderful. Could not find the pineapple sherbert so I used orange sherbert. Oh boy, could not imagine it tasting any better. Made it for two birthday celebrations and it was a BIG hit. Absolutely Yummy! Husband has told me not to lose this recipe."
"Actually because of lent I have not made this yet, but will on Easter. I live in L.A. - and "typical midwest" means, get the same taste at the end, but brad about how you had to cook the pineapple have special imported cherries etc. Now that I think of it I will add fresh pineapple to the topping, YUM"

Matobo Dam
Matobo Dam exudes a sense of peace and tranquility just like the rest of the Matobo National Park. The dam provides a view that brings solace to one's heart. Visitors can fish in the dam and those with boats (with electric motor or paddles) are allowed in certain areas of the dam. Pony trails are also available around the Dam area.
By road from Bulawayo: Take Robert Mugabe Way in the city centre; this turns into Matopos Road which continues south some 30Â km to the park boundary. This is a two-lane tarred road. A single lane tarred road continues to Matobo Dam and Rest Camp. The remaining roads in the park are gravel or earth, but suitable for most vehicles.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
In the United States, about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports, and more than 3.5 million injuries each year, which cause some loss of time of participation, are experienced by the participants. Almost one-third of all injuries incurred in childhood are sports-related injuries. By far, the most common injuries are sprains and strains.
Obviously, some sports are more dangerous than others. For example, contact sports such as football can be expected to result in a higher number of injuries than a non-contact sport such as swimming. However, all types of sports have a potential for injury, whether from the trauma of contact with other players or from overuse or misuse of a body part.

ZF-8919: Zend_Validate_Float/Int does not work with setlocale
When Zend_Validate_Float and Zend_Validate_Int are used without giving the locale parameter, then PHP's internals are used.
In detail floatval and strval. floatval is not dependend on the locale. The problem is now that when a user uses the following code:
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_AT');
$valid = Zend_Validate_Float();
$valid->isValid('1,3'); // -> false
Any user would expect that the validator now uses PHP's/the environments locale settings and the string 1,3 returns true.
In fact 1,3 is converted by floatval to 1 as floatval seems to support ONLY english notation.
In past Zend_Validate_Float used Zend_Locale also for PHP internal detections. But I was said to revert it due to "performance"-reasons. So the question is now:
Should we document this PHP bug and note that Zend_Validate_Float supports only english noted strings (and not solve this php bug), or should we force to use the localized detection (with performance degration) when a non-english string is detected (or the detection fails on english strings when no locale parameter has been set)?
Note that this works:
$valid = Zend_Validate_Float('de_AT');
$valid->isValid('1,3'); // -> true
Please give me a note how I have to solve this problem so it conforms ZF policy.

Just FYI to everyone, tomorrow I fly out for the Skepticon conference in Missouri which I am certain will consume me the whole weekend (it always does!), and then immediately after that I'm flying to the UK and spending ten days all over the south of England, so I am also unlikely to find time for much else but all the things I want to do when I'm there (since I normally don't get to travel abroad much at all). And then immediately upon getting back it's my birthday.
In consequence, you shouldn't be surprised if my attendance to comment moderation and blog posting slows down beyond normal until December. Please be patient until I'm back.
P.S. Thank you Ohioans! You went for Obama and saved us all. Now I don't have to worry about the Supreme Court becoming evil.

Signing a book is probably the simplest form of marketing that an author can perform. For the book's owner, an author's signature can instantly transform a mass-produced item into a personal treasure.
Getting a book signed-in person provides the opportunity to meet a favorite author and usually includes the chance to hear them read. Book signing events near you can be found in your local media or you can check author and publisher websites. Another great way to get your books signed is to attend book fairs and literary festivals. Both provide opportunities to have books signed by up-and-coming authors before they hit the big time.
But you can also buy signed books without meeting the author. Try rare bookshops and their catalogs, rare book fairs, and right here at AbeBooks. Generally speaking, signed first editions will usually be more expensive, while later editions signed by author are often more affordable.
Some authors tour regularly to promote their latest releases and will sign huge numbers of books (Salman Rushdie and Ken Follett are both prolific signers). Authors nominated for awards such as the Man Booker Prize or the Pulitzer Prize will also often sign many copies in the period leading up to and immediately following the announcement of the winner. When an author signs many books, those copies can be very affordable. Other authors tour much less after becoming hugely successful, making their signed books more scarce, and therefore (sometimes) more valuable. Obviously, the supply of signed copies comes to a halt - and their value often increases - with the death of an author.
Sometimes the signature of a famous illustrator can be as important as that of the author. Quentin Blake has illustrated and signed many of Roald Dahl's books, as has Hunter S. Thompson's illustrator Ralph Steadman. A book signed by both the author and illustrator is especially prized.
When looking for signed books, you should be aware of the following terms:


text: "Thank you. I'm very proud to be here and I'm really very happy and if it seems like I'm not, it's just that so many people that I love ... that are so happy for me ... have a different scene ... they're a bit higher up, but I know that my mom and my dad and my brother and Fred and so many people that I love are with us. First I would like to thank Clive Davis. When I came to Clive, I was really awkward, arrogant, couldn't really sing, I had pretty clumsy movements, I had a lot of guts ... not a whole lot of talent ... but he had faith in me and let me go out of the gate ... just a colt ... and stayed with me. Thank you, Clive. And I want to thank my present company, Columbia, whose being so kind to me at this time. And the three women who shepherd me all through my years ... Jane Friedman, Ina Minebeck and Rosemary Carol. It's like at the Academy Awards, isn't it? I want to thank all of the musicians that I have collaborated with ... it's a collective, it's a brotherhood. I want to thank my musicians in the 70's, especially the late Richard Soul and Ivan Kral. And in recent years, I would like to thank Ala Veray and Tom Verlaine. I have a very small crew ... probably the smallest crew in rock and roll ... but they are very loyal, and through the years from my late brother Todd Smith, to Yip Wan to Barry Dorier, god bless you, god bless our crews. We are nothing without our crew. And I would like to thank my family ... the support I get from my beautiful daughter Jessie, and my son Jackson, who will be playing with us tonight. And my present band, Tony Shanahan, J.D. Dougherty ... who has played drums with me since 1975 ... and my good friend and collaborator, but most of all my good friend and champion, Lenny Kaye. Many of you may not know that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has a program to aid musicians in need. As a tax-exempt organization, they have the capabilities and the resources to help musicians in need, and so we encourage the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation to help our musicians in need, as well as to encourage us and to give us accolades who are not so in need. Please let's all help our musicians. And musicians in need, know that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation exists. Please call upon them. Lastly, my late husband, the great Fred Sonic Smith, once predicted a long time ago ... actually right before he passed away ... at the end of 1994, we had an argument in the kitchen while I was peeling potatoes and he said to me, "Tricia, one day you're going to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." And I said, "No way" and he said, "Yes you will, and you're not going to like it, or you might feel rebellious, or you might feel guilty because I'm not in it, and I'm clearly the better one." And he was. But he asked me please, to accept it like a lady and not to say any curse words, and to make certain to salute new generations, because it is the new generation that will re-define the landscape of rock and roll, and together they have the power ... an unprecedented power ... to unite and make great changes in our world, to make our world a better place ... for sometimes we have tried and failed. So I salute the new generations. And I thank everyone who has encouraged me through the years and all the people that come to our concerts and help me when I forget the words ... which is all the time. And I accept this wonderful honor in the name of Fred Sonic Smith. Some people say that it took a long time for me to get here. I have to say, I never expected to get here, so it seems like it was just a second. But my mom really, really wanted to be here with you. She loved rock and roll. She loved it so much, she answered all my mail for over 25 years and right before she died ... I mean hours before she died ... she said to me, "Tricia, did they save the Stone Pony?" I said, "Yes mommy." She said, "Good. Did you get in the Hall of Fame yet?" I said, "Not yet, mommy." And she said, "Oh, I'm not going to make it, but when you do, sing your mother's favorite song, the one I liked to back you." So mommy, this is for you."
