Chiropractic is a complete system of healthcare focused on restoring, preserving, and optimizing health by natural hands-on care.
Where conventional or "allopathic" medicine focuses on curing illness through surgery and pharmaceuticals, the goal of chiropractic is to optimize health with a non-invasive approach that does not use drugs or surgery. Chiropractic's primary avenue of care is manipulation of the spine and the framework of the body.
The spine is an important structure that houses and provides protection for the spinal cord, while providing mobility for the upper body. This dual requirement of strength and flexibility makes the spine a very complex structure, with multiple joints at each spinal segment (the vertebrae) forming the spinal column.
When these joints (also known as articulations) are not positioned or functioning normally, it can affect the nerves exiting the spine. Chiropractic care attends to irritations along the spine by manually repositioning these joints. This is a chiropractic "adjustment."
The word "chiropractic" comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (action), and simply means "done by hand." Note that the word "chiropractic," while a bit awkward, is the actual name of the profession. A chiropractor practices chiropractic (not chiropracy, chiropractics, or even chiropractic medicine).
Chiropractors are licensed professionals who are trained to diagnose and appropriately care for or refer patients for the care they require. Accordingly, they continually assess their patients from dual perspectives, asking: What might I do for you, as well as, what might you also need today beyond my abilities?
Chiropractic patients often visit their chiropractor periodically in order simply to relieve irritations - to get "adjusted." Individuals also seek chiropractic care for back pain [2], headaches [6], joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains, as well as non-musculoskeletal conditions including allergies, asthma, and digestive disorders [7]. Some chiropractors further specialize in orthopedics, sports injuries, neurology, pediatrics, nutrition [8], internal disorders, or diagnostic imaging.
Due to its focused hands-on attention to the spine, the profession is often thought of by its tools and by its avenue of care. Chiropractic, however, is not just about manual care of the spine, although it has certainly built a reputation caring for that often troublesome piece of anatomy. In chiropractic, care of the spine and nervous system (which is of fundamental importance in human health) is the way to optimize the health of the whole human system and not just a means to relieve back complaints.
A basic philosophy of chiropractic is that the body naturally seeks the proper balance among all the systems of the body, and that these systems are meant to work together. A second basic principle is that proper structure is necessary for proper function. If a structure is impaired by injury or stress, its function can be adversely affected.
For example, when our spine (structure) is not positioned normally, it can irritate the nerves exiting the spine. And when spinal nerves are irritated, they don't function normally and can affect the function of the tissues they interact with. This "end-organ" effect is the central interest in chiropractic care. The relief of localized discomfort at the point of irritation is also an objective of care.
Thus chiropractic focuses on the integrity of the spine and its surrounding tissues as a means to enhance normal human function and health.

I've heard about these Sour Punch Bits, a new type of sour candy that's a spinoff of Sour Punch Straws. I found a box of them in a candy store called Rocket Fizz in old town Pasadena. Unlike Sour Punch Straws that come in a clear cellophane package, these new Bits come in a movie theater sized box. I'm not the biggest fan of Sour Punch Straws, but seeing these new variety I couldn't help but want to give them a shot.
The box these Bits come in is very attractive. The box's design isn't too busy, it has a bright yellow background with their signature logo and Punch faces puckering. It also has colorful illustrations of strawberries and watermelon on it, so it's vibrant and delicious looking.
Opening the box, you find a small plastic bag that takes up about half of the box inside. It's tightly sealed and keeps the candies fresh and safe. Opening the package, I get a whiff of the candies: they smell like cardboard. Ooooh yeah.
The candies are thick little tubes, striped with color and sanded with sour sugar. They clump easily and feel slightly squishy to the touch.
The flavor is tart and fruity, but I wouldn't call them sour. The sour sugar coating has a sour edge to it, and you really don't taste it until the end of the candy's flavor. Speaking of the candies flavor, it's very…plastic, more so than the original Sour Punch straws. It starts out sweet, then the berry flavor kicks it. It's…also just sweet. The watermelon shows up giving it a lighter fake "watermelon" taste we know so well. The flavor ends with "red" flavor akin to Twizzlers, then dissipates.
I would eat the normal Sour Punch Straws over these any day. I shared the rest of my package with friends, and they all really liked them, so what do I know. Since buying these I also seen a lemon and tangerine flavor, which, I am interested in trying despite not liking this flavor. It just goes to show that certain candies will speak to some and not others.

1. Setting up a hair-removal lasering session without first getting a consultation.
Not all skin or hair is created equal! You should never let a technician near your skin if she or he has not spoken to you at length—or had you fill out a detailed questionnaire about your medical history, remarks Rothenberg.
2. Going to the most inexpensive hair removal center you can find.
The old adage is true: You get what you pay for. And when it comes to hair removal, remember that the technician is wielding a hot, potent laser (often at your most sensitive body parts) so don't Scrooge out. Ask for credentials, what kind of training the technicians undergo, and how many years the center has been in business.
3. Waxing, shaving or tweezing in between lasering services.
Your technician cannot get a sense of your hair growth cycle if you're masking it with do-it-yourself removal between appointments. So hands off! And if you can't stand the re-growth, cluster your appointments closer together until you've reached a point of smoothness that you can tolerate.
4. Skipping appointments.
A good hair removal expert creates a schedule for you that is based on your hair growth cycle. The point? To make sure you're getting lasered at times in the month that maximize hair "fallout." Skipping sessions throws off your schedule, delaying the hair removal process and making it less efficient, explains Rothenberg.
5. Sunning areas you're striving to smooth.
Heat and UV rays stimulate hair growth. So the more sun exposure these spots get, the more hair you're going to battle. Who knew?
6. Cheating on your hair removal guru.
Stick with one regimen and one technician. That specialist knows your skin and what it can tolerate, as well as your hair's growth cycle. Stopping by a hair lasering center on vacation because you couldn't fit in the appointment before you left is a no-no. For the best and the fastest results, you must commit!

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
trends, remodeling
Frugality, comfort and warmth top homeowners' priority lists in a National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) poll of top builders and developers for CBS Moneywatch. The poll found that while the economy has prevented most people from starting major renovation projects, many are taking care of the smaller jobs. We'll handle the repairs that must be made (siding or leaky roofs) but hold off on the bigger stuff.
Here are some highlights.
1. We'll remodel bathrooms. Dennis D. Gehman, president of Gehman Custom Remodeling, told CBS Moneywatch: 'Bathrooms are the hottest project; we think it's due to the economy.' Builders report that homeowners want those bathrooms to be Zen-like.
2. We'll warm it up. Cold, minimalist décor is giving way to cozier, earth-toned design. (We're all for that!)
Bathrooms will top remodeling lists in 2011 as homeowners desire warm, earthy and Zen-like bathrooms to retreat to. Photo By Michael Shopenn.
3. We'll get outside. George Christiansen of Pequot Remodeling Corporation told CBS Moneywatch: 'It appears that people want to sit outside again and are staying at home more frequently.'
4. We'll be more vigilant in hiring. 'Folks are finally getting the message that it is important to look closer at the companies they are considering for their project," Darius Baker of D & J Kitchens and Baths told CBS Moneywatch. "They are asking the questions we have been telling them to ask for years.'
5. We'll pay cash. Home-equity credit lines have dried up. Most of us will only renovate to the extent that we can afford it.
6. We're tearing down walls. Contractors report that they're removing interior walls and opening up the spaces in older houses to modernize them.
Outdoor spaces will grow in popularity as homeowners sit outside more often. Photo By Grey Crawford.
7. We're going for the bronze. Metallic tones are trending warmer; bronze and distressed hardware will be big in the coming year.
9. We'll keep on going green. Green materials and energy-efficient upgrades continue to rule the market.
10. We'll plan for the future. Builders say many clients are thinking about their retirement years and putting in easy-opening cabinetry, hand-held showers, and more accessible kitchens and baths.
Are you planning a remodeling project this year? We'd love to hear about it!

This Orem violinist and composer has conquered Carnegie Hall and Tchaikovsky but considers herself "just a normal kid."
At first glance, 13-year-old Aubree Oliverson might seem like an ordinary girl. She's on the swim team, runs track, enjoys reading, shopping and hanging out with her girlfriends—but that's where similarities end.
She and her father, Stephen, a pianist, just released their third CD called "Dance of the Fireflies," which Aubree describes as "neoclassical with a new-ageish twist," under the name Moon Light. The petite violinist has also spent more time in the spotlight than most accomplished adult musicians, gracing the prestigious Carnegie Hall stage and logging more than 100 performances in 2010 alone. "I just love performing," says Aubree, a wisp of a blonde who at once exudes a mature poise and bubbly, girlish demeanor. "I don't get nervous very often when I'm performing. With an audience, they're there to enjoy, and I just want to touch them and make them feel happy."
Aubree began piano lessons when she was just four years old and played for a few years before her dad brought home a violin "on a whim," she says. "My mom said, 'Well, I guess we need to find a teacher.'" Violin struck a chord. "I was all right at the piano, but then I started the violin, and it just clicked. You can express more on the violin than on the piano, and that was one of the things that got me."
Most recently Aubree soloed with the Utah Symphony, performing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, considered among the most technically difficult works for the violin. Performing it is one of the crowning achievements in a violinist's career. "That was awesome. There's just something about performing with a symphony that I can't get enough of," Aubree says as though she were gushing over a cute boy or the latest Twilight movie. "I just love having the orchestra behind me and the conductor watching me."
Aubree has been recognized three times as a state and national winner for composition—her style spans chamber works, solo violin pieces, piano solos and duets—and earned a comparison to a "modern Mozart" by Tootlee.com, an online forum devoted to showcasing children with extraordinary talents. The New York Arts Ensemble twice named her a "composer of great promise." She soloed at Carnegie Hall in 2010 following a win in the Utah division at the Stradivarius International Competition—and received a standing ovation. "I want to touch as many people as possible with my music," she explains.
Katy Perry's "Firework" by David Osmond, Aubree Oliverson, Nathaniel Drew and Salt Lake Pops Orchestra
Practice makes perfect: Aubree practices 5–6 hours daily and up to 11 hours a day when preparing for a competition
Favorite piece: Dvorak Violin Concerto
Favorite violins: A French-made violin she used for her last Utah Symphony performance; she also loved the 1721 Guarneri del Gesù violin she used on her most recent CD album release "Dance of the Fireflies."
Words of Wisdom
"Keep going if you love what you're doing, and try to do your best. Everything will work out."

MOUNDSVILLE - There will be a lot of anxious players on both sides of Bellaire's visit to John Marshall this weekend.
When the teams lock horns Friday at 7:30 p.m., the Big Reds will be looking to erase the memories of their week one setback to Steubenville Catholic, while the Monarchs are just beginning their season after enjoying their bye week.
"Our kids are excited, ready to play and have that itch to get out there," said John Marshall head coach Rick Goodrich. "We're behind the 8-ball a little bit having a bye week already, but we tried our best to take advantage of the extra week of practice to iron our some wrinkles and shore up some areas."
The Monarchs haven't seen live competition since a scrimmage against Marietta late last month.
"We're light years ahead of where we were last year at this time," Goodrich said. "I am not sure that transfers to a bunch of wins or not, but we're much better than we were."
Bellaire, meanwhile, is looking to break into the victory column after falling victim to the turnover bug against the Crusaders during a 55-35 loss last Saturday at Nelson Field.
"It was obviously a little somber (earlier this week), but we have to live, learn and move on," said Bellaire head coach Jose Davis. "Last week was such an emotional roller coaster throughout the entire game, but we can't dwell on it. We got back to work and we're focusing on John Marshall."
Outside of cutting down on their turnovers and mental errors, Davis wants his Big Reds to control the things they can control.
"We have to finish plays and drives," Davis said. "A lot of that just relies on us taking care of the ball. We must correct and avoid unforced errors. We have to be more consistent for four quarters on both sides of the ball."
The Big Reds' offense was once again potent when it was clicking. Senior quarterback Spencer Badia threw for 192 yards, while Tyler West and Hunter Westlake were impressive on the ground.
Nick Patrone, Kenny Hess and Brendan Ross all proved to be solid options at wide receiver.
"They're good and they're going to score points," Goodrich said. "We're not going to stop them, but we hope to slow them down and make them earn what they get. We have to limit their big plays. Tackling in space is what concerns me because their receivers are skilled, so if you miss a tackle, they're off to the races."
The Monarchs' offensive game plan will be slightly different than Bellaire's spread, no huddle, air raid. John Marshall will look to grind things out behind a solid offensive line and with senior running back Trevor Hardesty, who is a transfer from Cambridge.
Aaron Bishop will serve as the Monarchs' quarterback.
"Hardesty is a leader on both sides of the ball for us," Goodrich said. "He's fit in really well with the other kids and they've responded well to him. Aaron has done a nice job (at quarterback) and we're looking for him to be a leader. We want him to manage the game and keep everyone together."
The Big Reds' defense was touched up for more than 400 yards of offense by the Crusaders, but the challenge that JM presents is much different than Steubenville Central.
"We saw them scrimmage and we know they're big, physical and fast," Davis said. "They run downhill at you, so we'd better line up and be ready to play physical to stop the run. If we can't do that, it's going to be a struggle for us. When you're talking about Goody's teams, there are no secrets about what they want to do, so we have to prepare for that."

Today, Obamas media mouthpieces are showing him crowing about how he is going to trash our constitutional Rights. They are doing their job of making him appear to be the Savior of all mankind, the King of America! A Ruler who controls all the country! He is the Master of America!
He has plans to do what Hitler could not do-disarm ALL citizens! If he has his way, all Americans will be forbidden to possess firearms. To him, the Second Amendment is a piece of trash. But, if you read the writings of the Founding Fathers, they were unanimous that civilians should possess firearms.
Obama has admitted in his book that he hates the US Constitution, because it limits what the government can do. Absolutely correct! That is its only purpose-to protect our liberty! But, Obama has plans to totally gut out the protections of the Constitution. If he has his way, all Americans will be the losers.
The Sheriff is the most powerful law enforcement officer in any county. It is his or her job to protect the citizens of his county. They pay his salary. His first obligation is to his fellow citizens. He has no responsibility to carry out the unconstitutional ravings of an iron-fisted tyrant in Washington, DC. And, he does not have to enforce law that does not meet constitutional standards.
At this time there are several brave sheriffs around the country that say that they will not enforce Obamas tyranical edicts. This takes courage. I hope that they can stand firm. I hope that there are other law enforcement officials who are not intimidated by Obama. It sure would be better for America.
I heard a talking mouth on who said that it is the Sheriffs job to enforce ALL laws-good or bad, he cant pick and choose! This idiot does not know what he is talking about! NO law enforcement person has to enforce unconstitutional law! If they do, its because they want to do so! How do I know?
Please read the following:
The General rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of it's enactment and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.
Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it...
A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the lend, it is superseded thereby.
No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it." - 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256
NOBODY in America is bound by Obamas unconstitutional anti gun edicts-they are NOT LAW!!!

Atomized Mist used for Dust Control
CalTrans rented eight DustBoss DB-60s for dust suppression on the Doyle Drive project, with on-site training supplied by the manufacturer.
Dust Control Technology
The Presidio remained open to the public during demolition, so the contract called for a control plan to prevent dust from leaving the project boundaries.
Demolition of the old structure involved approx. 4700 linear feet of roadways, including 150 spans, yet the plan allowed complete road closure for just one weekend.
One full-oscillation DB-60 can cover nearly 125,000 square feet more than (11,600 square meters) with a highly efficient dust-trapping mist.
When completed, the new parkway will reveal striking views of the Presidio and San Francisco Bay.
Originally constructed in 1936, Doyle Drive is a busy thoroughfare that carries thousands of cars per hour in peak traffic periods. In 1990 it underwent a full seismic evaluation and was determined to have reached the end of its useful service life, deemed structurally and seismically deficient due to the ravages of time and continuous use. Its replacement will be an entirely new Presidio Parkway design, including two short tunnels, a wide landscaped median, and engineered transitions to city streets to ease traffic and improve safety. When completed, the new parkway will also produce a dramatic visual change, as the bulky concrete Doyle Drive structures are removed to reveal striking views of the Presidio and San Francisco Bay.
In spring 2010, Phase I of the project got underway, with the construction of a tunnel and detour roadway to shift traffic completely off Doyle Drive. Demolition of the old structure, which involved about 4700 linear feet of roadway, including some 150 spans in three distinct structures, began in 2012. Yet the plan required that the road be completely closed for just one weekend to demolish the entire length.
"There was only a 57-hour window to demolish the existing structure and complete construction of the bypass before we had to reopen the roadway to vehicle traffic," explains California DOT (CalTrans) resident engineer Andrew Yan. "The structure was divided into four main components, all to be demolished within the same time frame. It was a tall order, but we planned every detail."
The takedown required a fleet of 40 pieces of demolition equipment, including 20 hydraulic excavators outfitted with a variety of work tools, such as hammers, grapples, pulverizers, and shears. Crews also used backhoe loaders, track loaders, wheeled loaders, and articulated dump trucks, all running continuously to meet the tight deadline.
Because of its proximity to the Presidio, a historic national park that remained open to the public during demolition, the contract called for a dust control plan to prevent all visible dust from leaving the project boundaries while work was underway.
"In some places, the public areas were less than 100 feet away from the demolition activity," Yan says. "There's also a residential neighborhood and business corridor adjacent to Doyle Drive. "We also had to consider the nearby marsh, wetlands, and forest, as well as the wildlife within those habitats."
With dust suppression such a high priority, CalTrans researched several equipment options to supplement traditional water trucks and manual spraying. "Because we had simultaneous demolition in four distinct locations, we needed dust control over a very wide area," Yan says. "But the manpower we could commit to that was limited. The initial equipment designs we reviewed didn't convince us that they could deliver the coverage we required."
Yan remembered that another CalTrans project, the Oakland Bay Bridge West Approach in San Francisco, faced similar dust suppression issues. Engineers had successfully controlled the demolition dust on that job with large atomized misting units from Dust Control Technology (DCT), Peoria, Ill. After reviewing specifications on the various models and discussing the project requirements with DCT, he arranged a rental of eight DustBoss DB-60s, with onsite training supplied by the manufacturer.
The DB-60 is a large-scale suppression unit with special atomizing nozzles that create an engineered mist, sizing the droplets specifically for optimum dust control. A powerful 25-hp fan launches the droplets over long distances, allowing one full-oscillation machine to cover almost 125,000 square feet with a dust-trapping mist.
The DB-60 is one of the few suppression technologies that are effective on both ground level dust and airborne particles. When particle sizes or service environments dictate, DustBoss designs are also engineered to allow a wide range of customizations, including the company's variable particle sizing technology. Using a variety of nozzle sizes, shapes, patterns, and flow, DCT can tailor the mist output to suit specific dust particle sizes and extreme conditions.

Perhaps the most iconic of all John Hardy styles, the Bamboo collection has come to represent all that we stand for: strong design, traditional jewelry-making and a dedication to sustainable living. With bamboo a central element in the Balinese way of life, used in food, building and decoration, this versatile tree-like grass, often called ''nature's gift to mankind'', is a natural source of inspiration for this core collection.

Dear SocialFolders user,
For the past 2 years we have attempted to ease the way people upload and backup the photos, sounds and videos of their online services. It has been an exciting journey, which unfortunately comes to an end.
While many people are still actively using the service, and some new ones sign up every day, we haven't been able to make a viable business out of it. More funding would be needed to maintain existing channels, develop new ones and provide the support which you are entitled to receive as a user. We keep dozens of millions of files in sync; there is an infrastructure cost to it which we cannot cover anymore.
As a result, we are stopping the service today. Your files won't be synchronized between your hard drive and your online accounts anymore. Of course the local versions of your files won't be affected by this operation. You can save them in another location of your hard drive, or on an external storage.
If you are a paying user, in order to get a refund please email firstname.lastname@example.com within the next 30 days. Monthly subscriptions will be totally refunded for the current month. If you are on a yearly plan, we will refund the period remaining until the next anniversary date of your subscription.
Be assured that we don't keep any of your data on our servers. The information used to connect SocialFolders to your other online accounts has been permanently deleted from our system.
If you are looking for a replacement, you might want to have a look at Otixo. While this is not exactly the same service as SocialFolders, there is an overlap and it offers some pretty cool features.
Thank you again for your interest and support. Please contact us, if you have any questions or comments. We'll still be around and we'll be happy to answer.

Karen Alsager was a top hitter for the Vandal volleyball team from 1987-90. She was a two-time First Team AVCA All-Northwest Region selection and a two-time First Team All-Big Sky honoree in 1989 and 1990. In 1989, she tied the Idaho school record with 513 kills, then broke the record a year later with 524, a mark that currently ranks fifth. Her 4.75 kills per game in 1989 also is a former school record and now ranks fifth. For her career, she nailed 1,416 kills and had 68 double-figure kill matches, both of which rank fifth at Idaho. Her 126 career service aces rank sixth. She holds three of the top seven single-game offensive performances in school history with 33 kills twice in her career, which formerly were tied as the school record, as well as one 31-kill game. Her 41 block solos in 1990 led the team and also ranks ninth at Idaho all-time.

(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) - Saudi Arabia has arrested seven youths suspected of having links with the Al-Qaeda network, the Saudi Interior Minister Prince Naif announced yesterday.
"The arrests were made a few days ago in Makkah. These individuals are being interrogated to determine if they had links with Al-Qaeda or any other terrorist organization," stated Prince Naif.
Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia announced that it has referred 90 terrorist suspects to the courts to stand trial. Since September 11, Saudi Arabia has questioned more than 2,000 individuals, and arrested several hundred. Working with the U.S. and other governments, it has contributed to the breakup of Al-Qaeda cells and the arrest of numerous individuals.

2. Unsolicited Proposal Program at APEX Art: Applications accepted Oct 11 – Nov 8, 2013 — online only Submit your idea for a curated exhibition.
Now in its 17th year, apexart's Unsolicited Proposal Program open call is accepting submissions for exhibition ideas starting October 11, 2013. Three winning proposals will receive funding and administrative support from apexart to present their show in its Tribeca space.  The Unsolicited Proposal Program asks for idea-based, 500-word proposals for curated shows of three or more artists that examine a compelling idea. Exhibitions can be about any topic that the organizer finds compelling—successful shows have been selected about everything from television to mapping to literature. No prior curatorial experience is required and we invite submissions from people of all backgrounds. Proposals are anonymously evaluated by an international jury of 150 people from all disciplines. Votes are processed through a unique apexart-developed crowd-sourcing computer script to determine which three proposals received the highest scores with no direction or interference from apexart or its staff.  The three winning exhibitions will be presented in apexart's 2014-15 season. Proposals are accepted online at apexart.org/unsolicited.php from October 11 – November 8, 2013. You may also visit this page for FAQs and other guideline details.
3. The Journal for Artistic Research (JAR) invites original submissions for future issues from artists worldwide, with or without academic affiliation. The journal is open to submission from all artists who wish to reflect on and expose artistic practice as research, who are interested in exchanging ideas and processes with a group of engaged peers and, thus willing to contribute to the ongoing debate about research in the arts. Submissions that should be considered for JAR5 need to be made before November 15, 2013.
JAR is a peer-reviewed journal, publishing original research from artists of all disciplines. Published twice a year, with currently four issues accessible online, the journal is unique in its field, marrying the rich-media and social networking capabilities of online publishing to peer-review and scholarly rigour.With the aim of displaying and documenting practice in a manner that respects artistic modes of presentation, the journal uses the Research Catalogue, a free-to-use online tool that allows the weaving together of text, image, audio and video material.JAR is open to all possible approaches to the publication of research including those that use little or no text. The Research Catalogue also enables collaboration, allowing multiple authors to work on the same document simultaneously and submit to the journal as a team. Articles that are not accepted for publication in JAR can be self-published, free of charge in the Research Catalogue.
JAR is a free open-access resource, with an international readership and a growing pool of renowned artistic and academic reviewers. The journal's issues are non-thematic and submissions are considered by an experienced editorial board, in a rolling fashion, as they are submitted. To submit an article, contributors are required to register for an account on the Research Catalogue, and use the writing space to layout and expose their research. JAR provides editorial guidance and technical help with these processes.
Interested contributors should first acquaint themselves with previous issues at www.jar-online.net (the inaugural issue JAR0is a good place to start) and then contact the journal to discuss the suitability of their material and receive advice on progressing towards submission.
The next issue, JAR4, will be published in November.
Send your correspondence to Barnaby Drabble, Managing Editor, Journal for Artistic Research:Â email@example.com
4. Call for Critical Writing Proposals:JARÂ is published by the Society for Artistic Research.
gorse's website will publish shorter pieces of criticism [1], narrative essays and interviews. We are not currently considering fiction or poetry. Please send a query, or the first 500 words of your proposed essay, to info [at] gorse [dot] ie. Work should be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable as long as you tell us straightaway if your work is accepted for publication elsewhere. We will do our best to reply to all queries, but if you don't hear back from us within six weeks please feel free to submit to another venue. Please note that as our resources are limited, we are only in a position to offer contributors a token fee. Finished pieces for the website would ideally be between 500 to 3000 words.
We are interested in the potential of literature, in literature where lines between fiction, memoir and history blur (Sebald, Cendrars, Bolaño, Joyce), in experimental [2] writing, in fiction in translation, in the unconventional and the under recognised, in the personal essay (Sontag, Dyer). We are a literary journal equally interested in the arts (fine art, photography, architecture, film, music), in culture, in politics. We're looking for smart writing, not academic.
1. "I. The critic is the strategist in the literary battle. II He who cannot take sides should keep silent. III. The critic has nothing in common with the interpreter of past cultural epochs. IV. Criticism must talk the language of artists. For the terms of the cenacle are slogans. And only in slogans is the battle-cry heard…â€Â Walter Benjamin ↩
2. We acknowledge the word 'experimental' is not without its problems. (See John O'Brien on this point: "If Sternewere writing today, he would be labeled a postmodernist, but what sense would that make, given when he was actually writing? As far as I am concerned, the history of fiction is one of invention, oftentimes playful and conscious of itself, but always pushing limits in terms of what it is and what else it can be. But I absolutely do not think of a Sterne or a Joyce as "experimentersâ€: they didn't experiment, they made these remarkable books whose ingenuity and art are rarely seen in other writers or matched. Their works are finished and complete achievements, not experiments.â€) 'Experimental' is not weird for the sake of weird, it is innovation. ↩
Created in 1993, Emergency Grants provides speedy funding for visual and performing artists who have unanticipated, sudden opportunities to present their work to the public, or who incur unexpected or unbudgeted expenses for projects close to completion with committed exhibition or performance dates. The grants are intended to support the creation of innovative and experimental work, and are meant to assist individuals and groups when there is insufficient time to seek other sources of funding.
Requests are primarily granted to artists who are "emerging" and have few sources of financial support. Emergency Grants is the only active, multi-disciplinary program that offers immediate assistance of this kind to artists working anywhere in the United States.
Emergency Grants applications are accepted year round; there is no deadline. Applications are accepted online only; please refer to the application requirements below. Grants are determined on a monthly basis by the Emergency Grants Panel, a volunteer committee of established artists. In 2012, grants ranged in amount from $350 to $2,440; the average grant was $1,165. Go here for more information

Price: $335.00
The Luminox Navy SEAL Original Series Watch came about when the Navy SEALs were looking for a more dependable watch for night missions. Luminox's Swiss luminescent technology was the perfect solution. Unlike other watches that use a luminescent paint or a "push to light" system, Luminox uses micro gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules) that are always lit, ensuring instant readability no matter the conditions.
Today their watches are worn by the Navy SEALs, U.S. Air Force pilots, FBI and AFT agents, Secret Service officers, Border Patrol units, Coast Guard officers, SWAT teams, and more. The hands and hour markers glow continuously for more than 25 years with no need to expose the watch face to light or push a button.
Not available for shipment outside of the U.S. and Canada.

Serwanga Wins Long & Triple Jump at TCNJ Lions Invitational
EWING, N.J. (4/27/13) – Senior Isaac Serwanga won both the long jump and the triple jump in his first meet of the season at The College of New Jersey's Lions Invitational on Saturday, April 27.
Serwanga launched himself to 14.38 (47-2.25) in the triple jump and 6.90 (22-7.75) in the long jump. This marked Serwanaga's first meet of the year as he rejoined the track & field team after completed full seasons with the football and basketball teams.
Sophomore Tumi Akinlawon and freshman Jake Scinto went 2-3 behind Serwanga in the long jump. Akinlawon leapt to 6.87 (22-6.50) while Scinto reached 6.84 (22-5.25). Scinto went on to take second place in the high jump as he cleared 1.98 (6-6). Junior Omar Jarrett was fifth at 1.93 (6-4).
Freshman Bryan Oslin recorded a PR in the pole vault. He cleared 4.65 (15-3) to place second in the event. In the final field event of the day, junior Alec Bingaman finished fifth in the javelin with a best toss of 53.66 (176).
Freshman David Pugliese had a big day in the middle distance. He won the 1500 at 3:54.61 and was the top collegiate finisher in the 800. His time of 1:54.13 in the 800 was fifth overall, with the four runners in front of him belong to professional running clubs.
Princeton went 2-3-5 in the 110-meter hurdles. Senior Richard Sheldon was the runner-up at 14.53, followed by sophomore Rob Mohr at 14.61 and freshman Greg Caldwell at 15.10 for fifth.
The Tigers host the Ivy League Heptagonal next weekend, May 4-5 at Weaver Stadium.

ZF-7352: Resource_Translate should test registry
Line 78 in Zend/Application/Resource/Translate.php
If I want to use this resource with a module bootstrap
I must set a registry-key or it will overwrite any other translate object, which is registered there, even if I just want to use it straight from the module bootstrap.
$bootstrap = $this->getModuleBootstrap(); // A shortcut I wrote
$translate = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('translate')->getTranslate();
So it should test the registry before
if (!Zend_Registry::has ($key)) {
Zend_Registry::set($key, $this->_translate);
If I understand correctly; you're trying to bootstrap the translation resource twice, but want the second time ignored?
Closing as won't fix because it doesn't make any sense to bootstrap the same Resource Plugin twice.
If you feel your issue was misunderstood please comment and reopen.
I wanted to use the translate-plugin within module bootstraps also, but depending on the order they are executed, one will overwrite the other. As you can see this report is from July, so I dont know exactly, what I wanted to do that time. Now I would say, that it may be useful, if a second call will just add other language files to the object from the registry, instead of overwriting the it. Just as a suggestion :) This will allow users to add additional module based language files.
Issue reopened. Will evaluate later.
Fixed. Thank you for reporting the issue!

You can use Windows Photo Gallery to make changes to your pictures. You can improve the exposure and colors, change the composition, and remove red eye—all without using a separate editing program.
Open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.
Digital workflow is a term used by digital photographers to refer to the order in which pictures are edited. Following the correct digital workflow can make a big difference in the quality of your edited pictures. The Fix pane in Windows Photo Gallery has arranged the various changes you can make in the best order, starting with exposure adjustments and ending with red eye removal. Though you can make changes to your pictures in any order, we recommend that you follow the workflow by working from the top of the Fix pane down.
Why edit your photos in this order? Imagine, for example, that you want to correct the color balance in your picture. If the overall exposure is wrong (the picture is too dark or too light), it will be difficult to identify the correct color balance. Only by correcting the exposure first can you be sure the colors also look right when you reach that step.
You can edit the brightness and contrast in your picture by moving the sliders for those controls, but it's much easier to click Auto Adjust in the Fix pane. Auto Adjust optimizes the brightness, contrast, color temperature, and tint of your picture all at once. Even after you click Auto Adjust, you can continue to adjust the exposure and colors on your own if you don't like what Photo Gallery has done automatically.
You can confirm when you've made a change by looking in the Fix pane for the check marks that appear next to the control after it has been used to make a change.
If you're reluctant to click Auto Adjust, you shouldn't be. You can always click Undo to restore the picture to its previous state. Likewise, if you change one of the exposure or color settings and don't like the result, click Auto Adjust again to return to the setting that Photo Gallery recommends.
Most digital cameras have an exposure mode that allows you to take pictures in black and white, simulating black-and-white film. As a general rule, though, we recommend taking pictures in normal color mode. The reason? While any color picture can be turned into a black-and-white image on the computer, if you take it in black and white to begin with, it's not possible to add the original colors back in.
In Photo Gallery, there's an easy way to simulate black-and-white photography, and it's actually a lot more flexible than the black-and-white mode on your camera. Click Adjust Color in the Fix pane and you'll see the Saturation slider. If you move the slider to the right, you'll increase the intensity of colors in the picture. What's more interesting, though, is what happens if you move the slider to the left. The intensity of color is reduced, and if you move it all the way to the left, there's no color at all—the picture becomes black and white. You can use this technique to create pictures with just a little color or no color at all.
Perhaps you want to change the composition of your picture from horizontal to vertical using some creative cropping. Or maybe you want to create a black-and-white version of a special picture. You can do all these things in Photo Gallery while keeping an unchanged version of the original picture. Before you start editing, double-click the picture, click File on the toolbar, click Make a Copy, and then click Save. This creates an identical copy of the picture in the Gallery, which you can preserve in its current form, or edit separately. And remember that if you ever want to undo all of the changes you made to a picture, click the arrow next to the Undo button at the bottom of the Fix pane, and then click Revert to Original.

By night, they're ruthless hunters that stalk their prey with a keen sense of sight and smell. By day, they're playful, loving companions for millions. Today, cats outnumber dogs as America's favorite pet. Worshipped in ancient Egypt and persecuted during medieval times, domestic cats over the centuries have been feared and adored. As comforting companions, cats provide therapy for the elderly and autistic. But as dramatic sequences show, the behavior of cats is never far removed from that of their cousins in the wild.

More: Congratulations on the new season of The Wendy Williams Show.
Wendy Williams: It is going to be bigger and better than ever! I am so excited, yet I feel so new at this, and green compared to talk legends that have been on television for a while.
More: Who is on your wish list to put in the hot seat?
WW: Hayden Panettiere, who is starring in Nashville. Shia LaBeouf, who is one of my favorite movie stars. I also love Kevin James of King of Queens, I have seen all of his movies and my son and I are huge fans. Kerry Washington of Scandal would be great, especially because it is political season—which of course means I would also love the Obamas and the Romneys. We would talk to them in a smart, fun and Wendy manner.
More: Is it accurate to say you had a slow start after the show launched?
WW: It is like any business, so yes, it was a slow start. I compare it to pedaling uphill. When I think about where we are now, I feel like a well-oiled machine. However, I am not anywhere near where I want to be.
More: Where do you want to be?
WW: I am not sure I will ever feel comfortable saying we got it made and we are a sure thing. In my world, it is public opinion that really counts.
More: Your ratings are huge and you are landing a real A-list guest lineup. What comes to mind when you think of where you began and where you are today?
WW: Oh my gosh! So many things have been tweaked with the show. Although we weren't broken, we have had to fix things here and there. For me personally, I have developed a lot as a host of a daytime program. I am very comfortable in front of the camera, I am comfortable doing live television, though I am self-conscious about things such as, did I ask the right questions? did I offend that guest? Today I feel very sure of myself as a host. Although there is always room for growth, I feel really good about the position I am in now.
More: Which is?
WW: Daytime TV is geared to women, and now that I am 48 years old it is such a sweet spot for me as a woman. I mean, just being in my forties is a sweet spot. I am really enjoying this time in my life. I am embracing every birthday, I have a 12-year-old son, I am a proud parent, and a proud wife to my husband of 14 years. I feel I have so much in common with my audience. I want to be a decent role model for my family and my audience. Being on daytime TV allows me to do that.
More: You mentioned twice that you are in your forties. That seems important to you.
WW: Yes, it is. Age is just a number, on one hand. On the other hand, age is relative to the information you are dispensing. Yes, my body might have changed, but I am also proud to say this is the same body that birthed a child and survived three miscarriages and thyroid disease. Forget the number. In my book, it is not over until you lie down and say, It is over!
More: That's a lot to go through.
WW: When I was pregnant with our son I gained 103 pounds and was on bed rest. I am a tall, meaty girl. Through my own determination, I have a body that I am proud of. Yes, I have to watch it every single day. I grew up in a body conscious family. I mean, I was on my first diet when I was in first grade; my parents monitored my food when I was in first grade. It wasn't until recently that I developed a healthy relationship with food. If I were on Mad Men, I would have to be thin and wear a pencil skirt, because my character would need to be sexy. But if you were to ask me why I got my job, I would say it is because I am entertaining. My job has nothing to do with my weight. I don't feel the pressure to be thin. But, being a woman, I do want to be sexy, especially for my husband.
More: Speaking of the past, you have a dark one.
WW: I do have a past.
More: You have admitted to abusing drugs.
WW: Yes. It is all a part of the cleanup. You take a long hard look in the mirror and say, "You have so much potential—don't waste it." I was raised in a loving household in New Jersey. I had so many advantages that people don't particularly have. A black woman, I had two parents who are not only college graduates but have master's degrees. My older sister is an attorney and my brother is a schoolteacher. I mean, I was raised in a solid middle-class lifestyle and yet here I was screwing it all up with a drug habit.
More: Many people might think, how did a kid who grew up in such a positive household get hooked on drugs?
WW: Access. I grew up in Ocean Township, New Jersey, where there were plenty of drugs. When you ask why did I do it, the answer is, because I could get away with it.
More: After the passing of Whitney Houston, you were quoted as saying, "It's been almost 15 years since I smoked last from a crack pipe and it's been almost 15 years since I waited on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx for my drugs."
WW: Yes, that was my reality.
More: Did something happen that encouraged you to get clean and sober?
WW: I just looked in the mirror one day and decided I wanted more for myself, so I stopped. I decided I didn't want that lifestyle anymore. I just stopped and never looked back.
More: Just like that?
WW: I have never been tempted to go back, and yes, I know I will always be labeled as that. I am fine with all of that. The more of us who get clean and pass the message, maybe the more people will follow in our footsteps and get healthy too.
More: Because kids learn so much from the Internet, have you shared your history with your son so he gets it from you and not from downloading a published report?
WW: My son knows the score with me. My husband and I sit and talk to him. We don't give him more information than he can handle. If he comes to us with questions we give him a straight answer. When I talk to him about drugs, I tell him there is no way he will be able to pull one over on me if he tries them, because I did it and will be two steps ahead of him in terms of what to look for.
More: I read somewhere you said, "That is a period I can now laugh about." Can you explain why this is now a laughing matter?
WW: The drugs are sad, but some of the antics and the time I sat waiting in my car or standing at a pay phone are comical to me. I remember being paranoid, which to me is now dark humor. Look, you have to find the humor in your escapades and know that is not the same person.
More: You are also being an advocate, encouraging people to steer away from drugs.
WW: I have spoken to many people about the perils of being caught up in addiction. I would love to be a national spokesperson for "Just Say No." I want someone from Washington to call me up and point me in the direction they need me to go. Look, drugs are not a black thing or a white thing. They destroy anybody and everybody who uses them!
More: What do you see when you look in the mirror?
WW: With no ego being involved, just a woman who knows the struggles she went through to get to where she is today, I am very proud of myself. I am proud of what I have accomplished in my career, I am proud of the relationship I have with my mother and father. I am a responsible member of my community, I am a devoted wife and mother, and through it all I got people laughing. I really feel like a survivor, so no matter what you throw out at me, I will survive it!
More: I read a report that stated Howard Stern has been labeled the King of All Media while Wendy Williams has been labeled the Queen of All Media.
WW: Isn't that fabulous? I'll take it. (laughs)
The Wendy Williams show will begin airing new episodes on September 10.
