The five-time Tony Award nominated hit, Sister Act, is bringing its' musical graces to the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts for a limited run. This Broadway comedy begins March 4th and runs through March 9th.
Sister Act, based on the blockbuster movie, tells the story of disco diva Deloris Van Cartier who has dreams as big as her hair. After witnessing a murder, she hides out in the one place no one will find her...a convent! Disguised as a nun and under the watchful eye of Mother Superior, Deloris discovers her own voice and inspires a group of nuns to find theirs.
Sister Act is directed by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks (Guys and Dolls, Smokey Joe's Cafe) and composed by Grammy and Golden Globe winner, Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Enchanted, Little Mermaid).
The Associated Press calls Sister Act, "In a word divine. This is a musical that hits all the right spots, achieving something close to Broadway grace. It will convert you."
Ta'Rea Campbell brings to life the character of the fabulous Deloris in this touring production. Campbell's impressive resume includes: Disney's The Lion King, as well as, The Book of Mormon and Little Shop of Horrors. Campbell garnered much experience and knowledge from working in these various shows. One of the first shows she starred in was Little Shop of Horrors, which was also directed by Jerry Zaks. Campbell states, "I was young and eager. I soaked up everything."
Campbell was a fan of the Sister Act film, which starred Whoopi Goldberg. She was attracted to the role of Deloris because she believed, "it was a great opportunity to do a lead role." She also liked to the comedic aspect of the musical. Campbell excitedly acclaims, "I was able to create my own Deloris. I have fun in this role!"
Campbells' favorite moment in the show is the spirited musical number Raise Your Voice, when Deloris teaches the nuns how to sing.
One of the main themes of Sister Act is going after your dreams. When trying to reach your dreams, Campbell advises to stay focused, and to set small, attainable goals. "Anyone can dream. I did not want to be famous. I wanted to be good."
Sister Act is a must-see, fabulous comedy event with plenty of Motown, soul and funk inspired music that will have you grooving down the aisle. Campbell proclaims that one should see this show for the laughter, music, sequins and big hair. She continues, "The music is amazing and there is more sequins than anyone could ever need."
Sister Act plans to raise the roof off of the Kravis Center beginning Tuesday, March 4th at 8:00 p.m. through Sunday, March 9th at 2:00 p.m. Tickets start at $25 and may be purchased at the Kravis Center's Official Website: www.kravis.org/sisteract; by calling the Box Office at (561)-832-7469 or 1-(800) 572-8471; or in person at the Kravis Center Box Office located at 701 Okeechobee Boulevard in West Palm Beach. Group discounts of 10 or more receive a discount and may be placed by calling 561-651-4438 or 561-651-4304.
Beyond the Stage: Join us for a free musical presentation by the Hilltop Missionary Baptist Church Choir at 7:15 p.m. on March 4th and the students from the Broadway Artist Intensive on March 7th at 7:15 p.m. in the Dreyfoos Hall Lobby.

Maggie Q
Honolulu, Hawaii
"I got smashed in the face with a piece of two-by-four, which left one side of my face completely black for two weeks. I'm also deaf in one ear where my eardrum was blown out in an explosive stunt."
- Maggie Q
A huge star in Hong Kong, Maggie Q gained fame in America because of her memorable butt-kicking roles in Rush Hour 2, Mission: Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard.
Maggie Q BiographyBorn to an American father and a Vietnamese mother, Maggie Denise Quigley was born on May 22, 1979, and she was raised among the palm trees and golden sand of Honolulu, Hawaii. Her destiny, however, awaited beyond her picturesque island home, and at the age of 18 she moved to Hong Kong to pursue a career in modeling.
Maggie Q's unique look made her a popular attraction, and before long she was gracing the covers of major publications. She was offered her first big-screen role in 1999's The Legendary Tai Fei. There was just one problem: She didn't actually speak Cantonese, meaning Maggie had to learn all of her lines phonetically.
maggie q in gen-y copsAdditional roles -- and plenty of voice coaching -- followed in 2000 with the immensely popular Gen-Y Cops, an action film produced by Jackie Chan. Chan was so impressed with Maggie's acting that he had her cast in Manhattan Midnight (2001), and included her in his own film, Rush Hour 2 (2001). She teamed up with Chan again in 2004 for Around the World in 80 Days and also starred opposite Tom Cruise in the highly anticipated Mission: Impossible III (2006).
maggie q is named no. 17 in 2008 top 99In 2007, Maggie Q had several roles in American movies, including Live Free or Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, Balls of Fury and The Tourist.
Maggie Q continued to build her resume in the U.S. in 2008 when she was cast in Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon., and she ranked at No. 17 in AskMen.com's Most Desirable Women of 2008 list.

"We'd love to get an Apple, because a lot of the software we're used to is on the Mac,"
Lol - middle-class anarchists.
Since the end of September, a small – but growing – group of protestors has set up camp outside the Federal Reserve Bank building on San Francisco's Market Street to demonstrate against corporate greed, government inaction, and the squeezing of the middle and lower classes. The Occupy movement currently claims encampments in …
Lol - middle-class anarchists.
They're not anarchists, since they tend to want more government intervention (bankers in jail, higher taxes on wealthy, more regulations on banks, "something" to fix underwater mortgages), not no government. And "middle class" is completely consistent with "we're the 99%".
Lol - you are making assumptions based on your own prejudices and then projecting them on other people.
You're copping the down-votes a bit there, but I think I know what you're trying to say (beyond the humour).
The truth is they probably are middle-class, the lower class can't be squeezed anymore, and now the middle-class are feeling it and they don't like it.
Odd that if they are so energy starved they are using such large machines. Surely an Atom based netbook would be a far better idea.
Also no sign of solar, which is very odd given the off-the-shelf availability of solar phone chargers.
Last, but no least, if you have a 12v charger, and need 5 volts for phones, the easy route is to connect the 12v to a pair of 6v lead acid batteries as used in some UPS's, motorbikes and alarm systems, then you can use the centre tap between the batteries and have two 6volt sources, far easier to work with.
So are you
The 12v to 5v problem solved, use a car kit.
Despite that oversight, I'm well impressed at how they have taken tech to the front line, I've watched live streams from NY and SF, they are uploading high quality video within an hour or so of big events.
This is now the future of protest, it's easy to ignore a two hour demo outside an office building but a continuing 24hr media event is more noticeable.
Global Corporate Apple products, then?
Far better to use a switching converter, you can get 90+ percent efficiency off the modern crop of DC-DC switchers if you're a bit careful with the design.
Center tapping a pair of batteries is a recipe for tears, you'll kill whichever battery you use the most current from in fairly short order, it's a common problem with truckers attaching 12V gear to the centre tap of their truck batteries.
Re: Switching regulator. They should use the bike to cycle to Caltrain, get off at Santa Clara, and ask a passing engineer for something they'll probably have lying on their desk. Better still, use a Honda petrol powered generator. Wait...
This is when most revolutions start - nothing much happens until the middle class start feeling the pain. See France, 1789 or Russia, 1917 for examples.
"This is when most revolutions start - nothing much happens until the middle class start feeling the pain."
The poorest in society are perpetually downtrodden, voiceless and hopeless, and always have been. Historically, revolutions come and go and the poorest stay poor.
The middle classes do have a voice and may even have power.
Such a shame that so many are easily duped because they're gullible enough to trust the media. Sad how we each have more access to current information than all of our ancestors combined, yet I believe we're less well-informed than we've ever been since Johannes Gutenberg built his first printing press.
If you continually charged from one battery of the pair, then sure, it would upset things, but they have multiple phones requiring charge, so allow hookup to both sides of the centre tap and things will even out.
In theory, yes, it's possible to balance it out but it's something that'd need monitoring, far better just to 'do it right' in the first place for a few quid. Of course, as a quick and dirty hack it's very do-able.
Sir, what we are witnessing luckily is a diversion. The middle class luckily is too well mannered to do revolutions. Trouble starts when the lower end of the upper class gets cheeky or starts feeling the pain.
As examples to the point look at HRH Prince Philippe Orléans, the man culpable of starting the trouble in France, and the traitors who killed Rasputin, dukes to a man, and a bit lower on the scale, Uljanow.
Let's hope this won't happen to us, as even upper class greed usually is a lot less lethal than what those criminals let loose.
It is somewhat funny since Apple is more of a walled garden type of computing system. A windows box is more free in the sense of what you can hack hardware/software wise and variety of available software.
Though Linux is simply where it's at if we're talking about the openness of systems here.
Unless the loading on the two 6V batteries is *exactly* equal, one of them will fail sooner than the other. Also, an appliance connected to one battery can't be connected to an appliance connected to the other battery without causing a short circuit.
Most car chargers use dissipative regulators, here wasting 7/12 of the energy being generated. A home-made version with a "simple switcher" IC would be more efficient.
"Most car chargers use dissipative regulators, here wasting 7/12 of the energy being generated. A home-made version with a "simple switcher" IC would be more efficient.
Not true. If they did, even a mediocre single USB charger would need to dissipate 4W which is not possible in the sort of compact non-ventilated enclosures normally encountered. Car phone chargers are almost always based on the venerable MC34063 or one of its many clones which is a switcher and perfectly capable of >80% efficiency when hard at work charging a phone, and will comfortably deliver up to one amp of current even when situated in a confined space.
I suggest to the protesters they simply go and retrieve any cigar lighter type chargers they might have already got free with their devices and wire those directly to their battery. (And possibly not bother with power guzzling large-screen equipped computers at all.)
"More than a few IT administrators complaining about underfunding should pop down to their local protest and learn a thing or two."
That rings hollow when management expect a professional service to be run on a shoestring and expect everything to work properly. No comparison.
"That rings hollow when management expect a professional service to be run on a shoestring and expect everything to work properly. No comparison."
Actually the opposite - I'd take management down there and show them what their IT department is going to look like with the amount of funding they give. As soon as they realize they may have to peddle to keep their pr0n flowing I'm sure a degree of flexibility will be found.
Clearly, you need to read more BOFH articles... :-)
"in front of the Federal Reserve Bank building on San Francisco's Market Street to demonstrate against corporate greed, government inaction, and the squeezing of the middle and lower classes"
If they are hanging out in front of the Fed, they demonstrate against *Government Action* resulting in the squeezing of the middle and lower classes. Which I approve of.
"Corporate greed" is rather irrelevant to anything. And besides ill defined. Might as well protest against the greed of the Unitary Repubocrat Party of the United States.
Money printing at the say-so of economists and bankers whose ideas go back to some confused dude whose teachings can "be much easier adapted to the conditions of a totalitarian state" (quid google) is the real problem. MORE government inaction please!
"Corporate greed" is what made bankers think that they could get away with fraudulently buying and selling worthless "collateralized debt obligations" and bankrupting their firms and then believe that they still deserve to be given all their bonuses only this time paid out of public funds taxed from the poorest in society. We bailed out their broken banks and they immediately went and awarded billions to themselves to spend on champagne and private jets. That's what "corporate greed" means, and that's why it's entirely relevant.
Spot on! The way the system currently works is that financial conglomerates lobby governments to reduce their taxes, remove regulation, ignore insider trading and generally look the other way and whistle while the bankers stuff their pockets.
At any mention of more regulation, they start bleating about wanting to keep 'level playing-fields', when in reality they're secretly paying millions to lawmakers to tilt the playing field their way. They privatise the profits and nationalise the losses.
Worse than pirates
So that only large corporations could afford compliance?
Your regulators happily missed the developing liquidity crisis in 2008. So you want to add more warm bodies in the hope that they will not notice something like that coming in the future? Do the same thing over and over again in the hope of achieving a different result - how is that called?
But, of course, it is likely that by "regulation" you mean an armed sailor assigned to watch bank CEOs expenses and bonuses or a leather-clad commissar who will tell the bankers who they must give money to and who they must not ask to repay this money back.
I looked at the website of that pathetic organisation to try find out what is it that they actually want, but all I could find is the ultra-left farce like "freedom for all from all", "freedom for students to teach teachers", "put a stop to greed once and for all" and other crap like that.
Revolution? More like a small fart in the park...
How about just rolling back some of the deregulation?
Canada had it's banking crisis awhile back so didn't deregulate to the extent that other countries did and so didn't have to fund massive bailouts. I'm sure there are other examples.
"Your regulators happily missed the developing liquidity crisis in 2008. So you want to add more warm bodies in the hope that they will not notice something like that coming in the future?"
No, what people want are regulators that aren't completely bought by the people they are supposed to regulate. Pay attention, please!
The day that almost the entire financial sector is shut down (and those that are working, are doing so remotely from home). I'd understand if they did it during the week, but who on earth do they expect to hear them on a Saturday?
Seems a bit silly, but I am willing to be enlightened to the logic behind this...
A lot of them have jobs to attend to to avoid starving completely during the week?
Just a guess.
I would guess it has to do with continuity. Or else, simply to maintain their protest space against being reclaimed by "the man".
I've read that the bottom 99% extends well into the $500k range so almost everyone who sees the protesters in passing on a daily basis are part of the 99%.
Considering that most of the corporate cogs who fall within the 99% do not like having it brought to their attention they are part of the problem because they're "just following orders" == doing their jobs, the will to see the protesters pushed out must hang in the air heavy enough to be tasted. The only way to impress is 24/7, can you really not hear the poo-pah'ing that would be sung were they to only maintain a M-F/9-5 protest schedule?
Fair point, people need to be able to eat.
However, from what I gather the point of the protest is to be seen and heard by those they are protesting against,no? As someone said earlier: "Better to hang in there like a boil on the neck of the moneyed interests".
How can you achieve that by not protesting when those very people are there? I mean, the city is probably totally empty of financial workers (and the "top 1%") on a Saturday. All you'll really get is tourists. I liken this idea to protesting in an empty room. It might make you feel like you are doing something about it, but fundamentally nobody can hear or care about what you say.
I don't know, perhaps they should try to get alternate days off work, so that at least the protest has people there during the week (like the US protests, they've been there for weeks now, not just the odd Saturday). I don't feel they will achieve anything with the current plan, but they are free to try.
Is more of a slogan really, as you say, the top part of the 99% make $500k a year. However the 1% are making gazillions a year, inequality in the US has been skyrocketing since the 80s
Pick one:
a) Mom was home from work and told them to get out of the basement.
b) Studies have shown that Tier 5 Product placement for iCr@p a la BOFH are more effective on Saturday.
I personally am trying to get past the line "media blackout" of this anyway -- seems like they've been part of a NYT love-in since day one -- but maybe nobody reads the NYT anymore?
@ James Micallef (Posted Friday 14th October 2011 13:37 GMT)
Indeed per Prof. G. Domhoff of the University of California at Santa Cruz who cites no less an authority than the CIA, the U.S. now ranks lower (#93) than Iran (90), Russia (82), and China (81), India (56) and Egypt (45) in income equality. See Table 7 Table 7: Income equality in selected countries at the link below.
"inequality in the US has been skyrocketing since the 80s"
So bloody what. If they did something illegal, rage to law enforcement. If the government did something stupid or immoral to help them, de-elect the offenders at the next opportunity. If no one did anything wrong, except get rich, then your definition of "doing wrong" is stupid.
erm, pay law makers to change laws in their favour (de regulation of the banking industry etc),
get tax payer bail outs with which they pay themselves bonus after bankrupting their banks (and soon their countries) - while the rest of us lose jobs, income and savings values (not to mention then refuse to loan that money out so the economy gets going again)
as for someone earlier complaining the protesters are using apple laptops - and apple is a corporate giant. We'll most of these people are middle class - most likely they would have a mac as they personal laptop, so you would rather they bought a windows/linux machine just for the protests?
as as I remember it, corporate giants like MS/Apple didn't bankrupts themselves and ask for a bail out - instead they kept growing and kept people employed.
These protests are against corporate greed as in stealing our money greed, not as in over pricing their 'you want-but don't need-but have a choice' premium products greed.
the way do do protests is to apply for a permit, get 1000s if not 100,000s of people together for a weekend .. bands .. speakers .. make a definite statement
camping out for weeks in parks is just boring ..
all for public protest mind you .. was a anti-war and civil rights marcher in the 60s and early 70s
just saying it's a lot more effective to have an event .. get tear gassed .. get out .. make big news
oh .. and the banksters don't give a shit .. go after the politicians that enabled and are still enabling them .. follow the money .. [hint: .. Goldman-Sachs]
Sorry, but that technique might have worked during the 60s and 70s, but today, when the corporate media controls everything, they'll control the message of any "organized" event. Better to hang in there like a boil on the neck of the moneyed interests, as the Occupy folks are doing. (cf. Tahir Square)
"The way do do protests is to apply for a permit, get 1000s if not 100,000s of people together for a weekend"
The last time we, the people, did that, we where completely ignored and the Government took us into a War on the basis of faked, sexed up, Intelligence.
^^^^^ see title
Long running protests have been done as well with equally poor success. Have you ever seen the protest against the war in parliament square. It has been running for about 10 years now, it got reduced significantly thanks to a law change, but it is still going.
Or how about the Greenham Common peace protestors. They had camps there for 19 years, and the only thing that moved the missiles was a treaty.
Protests get ignored, that is the way with protests. The only thing the governments will respond to are thing that might lose them an election. And even then, other things may make them ignore that as well.
What about this one?
Poll tax
'nuff said. Now run along and stop being silly.
Some gestures are just plain ridiculous.
Mounting a side cart to a couple of push bikes and dragging around a gennie powered by biogas or ethanol to recharge people's phones makes a lot more sense.
Even charging car batteries offsite with filthy coal and biking them in would make more sense.
Just free Ice Cream, and it appears that they are throwing a collective tantrum when they don't get it (much like a small child).
As for power conversion from 12 volts to 5 volts, I can supply a resistor of proper value and a 5 volt regulator, it should work just fine. Simon would be proud. Pour me a beer!
Would that be a 7805, then?
Congratulations, you just found an even worse way to downstep the voltage than what they've been using!
(you'd end up wasting 7/12 of the energy that way.)
Normal inverters are about 80% efficient when running under load. Cell-phone chargers are usually 80 - 85% efficient, which means that the step up/step down they've been doing is in the ballpark of 60% efficient.
Using good quality 12V 'cigarette lighter' type chargers would take them to 80 - 85% efficiency in one simple step.
"Linux machines are always nice, given Linux is having the same revolutionary effect on the industry as we are on society..."
So insofar as the desktop is concerned... none whatsoever?
(Desktop Linux user ever since '97 before anyone accuses me of trolling - just appreciated the irony)
Strangely, the first company to spring to mind when I think about linux and the industry is IBM, that well known hotbed of all things counterculture.
"The group were having to run a 12 volt supply, convert it to 150 AC and then back down to five volts for phones and the portable radios used to maintain emergency contact." ==========================
unfscking believable...
I have a little plug in device that plugs into the cigar socket of my car that provides a nice 5 Volt supply with adaptors for all my gadgets that run off it.
I run my boat lighting and radio and my laptop etc. off 12 Volt DC using multi outlets that you get in Halfrauds or Maplins etc.. Have a solar panel that trickle charges the large "Leisure" type battery during the week...
These city idiots should have been speaking to campers and caravaners who use 12 volt supplies when camping up at sites that don't have mains hookup.
You can pick up the outlets in any well-stocked car accessory store, too.
And the chargers are cheap, too, unless you buy them at an Apple store.
I've used the same setup(12V battery, solar panel, chargers) when out kayaking, so it works fine in just about any scale... ;-)
Automobiles are symbols of corporate greed.
So lets get this straight.
These guys are running a bare-bones PC, fom a bare bones power supply.
This is to communicate via the mobile phone network (Large Corporate Enterprise) with their chosen ISP (Large Corporate Enterprise) into the Internet (Hugely reliant on Global Corporate Enterprise) and put their point of view over, using such as You Tube, Fartbook, Twitter, etc (All Bloody Great Global Enterprises) so that individuals can see what they are doing by accessing the Internet (Been there) via there ISPs (Again).
Everyone is using PCs and Laptops (Oh, dear, stuff which has to be products of more global enterprises).
All to protest about - er- global corporate enterprise.
I daresay there's not a few items of trendy Nike, Adidas etc clothing being worn (Really small scale local manufacturers, yes?).
And, after all that, what is the bike powered by? A human (?) and they are powered by what? - A nice Global McDonands? Corporate Fast food?
Kinda pathetic, really.

Baseball Drops Twin Bill Against ETSU on Saturday
May 4, 2013
CHICAGO – The UIC baseball team (20-24) held a lead in both games against East Tennessee State (27-19) on Saturday afternoon, but the Buccaneers carved out the doubleheader win by final scores of 7-3 and 6-5 (11), respectively. Junior John Coen and redshirt senior Alex De LaRosa paced UIC at the plate with four hits apiece as sophomore Tyler Detmer, redshirt junior Ryan Boss and senior Joe Betcher each tallied three.
"I thought we played better in the second game and I do think we made improvements this week," said head coach Mike Dee. "With that said, we still lack some consistency in executing fundamentals and given a little more time I think we will get better at that."
The Flames jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first game after two innings of play. ETSU responded quickly in the third with three runs and finished out the contest with seven unanswered runs to claim the series' first contest.
After the first two innings, UIC recorded just four hits compared to 11 for the Buccaneers. Flames' starter Tomas Michelson lasted 7.1 innings and allowed all seven runs with four strikeouts. ETSU's starter Kerry Doane notched his 10th win of the season and his ninth complete game to go along with seven strikeouts.
In game two, the Buccaneers lit the scoreboard first in the third inning with three runs. The Flames turned around and plated two runners in the bottom half of the third on RBI-singles from Boss and De LaRosa.
ETSU stretched their lead to 4-2 in the fifth as Derek Niesman was able to trot home from second base after an errant throw by the UIC shortstop. The Flames retaliated in the sixth with three runs as De LaRosa and Betcher began the frame with back-to-back singles. After junior Alex Jurich advanced both runners up one bag off a groundout, redshirt senior Ryan Shober scored De LaRosa with a sac fly to right field. On the next at-bat, Coen sent Betcher across the dish with a single up the middle to give UIC a 5-4 edge.
The Buccaneers wasted no time knotting the score at 5-5 with a single run in the seventh, which remained the tally through regulation.
Neither team scored in the 10th frame, but ETSU's Andrew Green sealed the deal with a solo homer in the 11th to give his club the one-run win.
Sunday's series finale will commence at 12:05 p.m. CT.

Not one of the candidates for NDP leadership will really replace Jack Layton. Jack brought the party to what it is today, and instead of looking for a replacement, we need to look at who will be best to move our party forward and lead us to government in 2015. With this in mind, it became easier to start to decide who I wanted to see leading our federal party.
We have an embarrassment of riches in our leadership candidates, and it wasn't an easy choice, but I've decided to support Romeo Saganash for leader of the New Democratic Party.
Going into this race I knew very little about Romeo. I kept an eye on his campaign during the 2011 federal election and was interested in seeing what he could accomplish. I was intrigued when he put his name forward as leader. Romeo was the first Cree lawyer in Quebec and the first Cree Member of Parliament. He is now the first Aboriginal person to run for leadership of a major Canadian party.
He's a trailblazer and an inspiration.
His is an amazing story that is symbolic of the colonial history of Canada and the struggle for cultural survival that Aboriginal people have faced in this country. Romeo was born in the bush, on his reserve in northern Quebec, part of the last generation of Aboriginal people to do so. At 7 he was taken from his family and sent to a residential school where every effort was taken to strip him of his language and culture.
The fact that he moved forward with his studies, finished law school, and became a leader of his people says something about his abilities – moving beyond the traumas of the residential school system and the cultural genocide imposed on Aboriginal peoples, to today, running for party leader and, potentially, Prime Minister. It's heartwarming and inspirational, just like the man himself.
The initial idea of Canada's first Aboriginal person running for Prime Minister drew me to Romeo, but more important to me was his substance as an individual. Would he have what it takes to lead us to government? If there, what kind of government would Romeo create?
I believe he does have what it takes and I believe he will have a remarkable ability to bring Canadians together, begin to heal wounds and move us forward as a country. I see Romeo as a unifier – of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, Quebecers and non-Quebecers, English and French, rural and urban. Early on as MP he has been striking a chord for reconciliation, for the need to come together as Canadians. I believe that the legacy of Stephen Harper's government will be a need to reunify Canadians, to bring us together by putting an end to divisive politics. We need a unifier at the helm in Ottawa.
Romeo Saganash played a key role in the negotiations that led to the signing of the Paix des Braves agreement between the Government of Quebec and the Grand Council of the Crees. He also helped negotiate the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Romeo is a negotiator and through that experience he has become a unifier. He's adept at looking across the table with empathy to understand the other side and move forward with a plan.
I believe that we are well past due to engage with Aboriginal communities and strike a better deal across Canada to improve access to opportunity, improve quality of life and equitably fund education for Aboriginal students. After talking with Romeo about his experience negotiating on behalf of the Cree in Quebec, I'm certain that he has the background to navigate this and the ability to communicate the needs of all involved, bringing forward some reconciliation between the government and Aboriginal people in Canada.
In selecting my candidate I also tried to imagine the 2015 federal election. I imagined the candidates standing at podiums and giving speeches, heading across Canada to meet with people, and standing up for these people in the leaders' debates. Would they have a vision that Canadians could rally behind and could they effectively express that vision?
Romeo will appeal to people through his down-to-earth nature and his positive attitude. It's that attitude that has come to define our party – the party of hope, the party of optimism, the party of love. I believe it's essential that we choose a leader who exhibits these qualities. Romeo will move our party, and in turn, the country, forward through positivity.
He'll put the well-being of people on the table by fighting for workers, fighting for everyday people, for opportunity, equality, the environment, for the future. He'll work to ensure that Canada is successful because all Canadians are successful. Canada can become the land of opportunity – for all – and find the social justice that our party fights for.
Canada needs us to forge ahead with a more positive and hopeful political movement, and I believe that Romeo Saganash will be the New Democratic leader who can best bring the party and the Canadian people together to create a better government.
I am proud to support Romeo Saganash for leadership of the New Democratic Party.
"Canada prospers when we share this vision for a strong, healthy, fair country. It prospers when we share in the effort of making that vision a reality and it prospers when we share in the benefits of our accomplishment.
I am running to lead the New Democratic Party of Canada, to become Leader of the Official Opposition and to become Prime Minister after the next election because I believe that, together, we can make this vision a reality." –Romeo Saganash
I invite you to join me to work for a more hopeful future behind Romeo.

Indiana Jones Adventure Birthday Party (36 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
My son loves the Indiana Jones movies so for his 8th birthday we decided to plan his birthday around that theme.
Since his birthdcay is close to Halloween, it gave us an opportunity to incorporate items we could find during the Halloween season such as snakes, spiders, cobwebs, candy and other styling props.
For his invitation, we took pictures of him in his Indy gear and used those throught the Journal Invitation. We created the journal with elements from an Indiana Jones Journal we purchased as well as clip art found online. We wrapped each journal in kraft paper, tied it and added stickers. It resembles the journal that was delivered to Indy in the movie.
I also created a different invite for sale in my Etsy shop, A Boy's Life. www.aboyslife.etsy.com
For the Adventure Dessert Bar, I used crates that I stenciled to represent top secret items from one of the movies as well as skulls, spiders, bugs and snakes. I also some had old books, a cross and little globe. It all addes to the adventure theme. The Adventure Banner was created by using a stencil and adding map paper to the back. I found the luggage at Hobby Lobby. I also used a piece of faux leather fabric for the backdrop.
The Holy Grail Drink Bar features some more skulls and snakes. I created the backdrop using 8x8" map paper and taping it together on the back. I created the Holy Grail banner, drink tags and sigange which is also for sale in my A Boy's Life shop. I added some chevron burlap ribbon to the water bottles along with a little age tag. We covered the juice boxes with kraft paper and a skull sticker. I also used some netting, old books, a large globe and my favorite go to display piece to store straws and cups.
We made blow guns out of PVC piping and I added some twine around them to dress them up for the theme. Long cotton swabs served as the darts.
Our favor bags for the party were small, drawstring muslin bags which I stamped with a map stamp. Kids filled them with candy from the dessert bar. We also gave out wooden airplanes that the kids could assemble at home. For school friends, we made fedora-shaped crayons and packaged those up in the little Kraft bags and added a tag. Party favors were displayed in a little suit case with a small explore banner on top. We also put cotton candy (spider webs) and plastic spiders in little cello bags along with a topper. The kids loved it!
The cake...I saw one like it online and my son had to have one like it. We added some palm trees, candy rocks and Indy on the top.
You can find the Indiana Jones Party Printables at www.aboyslife.etsy.com

Tundra swans,
like most waterfowl, are managed cooperatively by federal and
state agencies. To provide for the effective conservation of
tundra swans a specific plan, the "Management Plan for Tundra
Swans" (Ad Hoc Tundra Swan Committee 1998) was developed with the
cooperation of federal, state and international partners. The plan
provides for the conservation and management of tundra swans while
allowing for a variety of benefits to society. These benefits
include aesthetic, educational, scientific, and recreational uses
that are compatible with the status and welfare of the species.
Subsistence hunting for tundra swans occurs in Canada and Alaska,
and limited hunting in the U.S. is permitted when populations are
within established population goals. A Tundra Swan Hunt Plan has
been developed as part of the overall management plan to establish
guidelines and frameworks for tundra swan hunting seasons.

The lead actor of the wildly popular television show "The Vampire Diaries" tweeted a special Earth Day message today about the Reject and Protect movement. The movement involves the controversy over the building of a proposed tar sands pipeline and any possible effects it may have on the surrounding land. Whether you agree or disagree with Reject and Protect, one thing has become clear about Somerhalder and that is his commitment to the environment. For Somerhalder, Earth Day appears to be every day and that's a very good thing. To celebrate the day, here is a look back at some of Somerhalder's most inspiring moments.
After the slideshow, make sure to comment below or tweet (@rektokross) your favorite Earth Day cause for the chance to win a gift card for one of these super cool tee-shirt from Somerhalder's charity. One lucky winner with the best comment/tweet will be chosen.
The Ian Somerhalder Foundation
We've already featured Somerhalder's foundation -- The IS Foundation -- on The Examiner here but its certainly worth multiple mentions. The IS Foundation aims to empower, educate, and collaborate with people and projects to positively impact the planet and its creatures. The IS Foundation also believes in behaving in full collaborative spirit by joining with other Non-Profit, For-Profit, and governing bodies globally to help numerous causes such as ending deforestation, planting trees, eliminating pesticides, healing the planet, and ending animal cruelty.
"Years of Living Dangerously" correspondent
Somerhalder has been featured as a correspondents on "Years of Living Dangerously," a Showtime series about the future of the planet. Joined by Arnold Schwarzenegger and other celebrities, Somerhalder traveled around the world to talk with different people about issues that impact our environment. You can catch "Years of Living Dangerously" Sunday nights at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.
Animal Advocate
Somerhalder has been vocal about the ethical treatment of animals. About animal testing, he famously wrote on Instagram: "Wow. This is a bummer… Do we really need to test on animals still? We can send missions to mars yet we still test on animals-guess what? It's NOT NECESSARY!!!!" He was also the Celebrity Monarch in the 20th annual Mystic Krewe of Mardi Paws dog parade this past March. The parade is in Somerhalder's home state and garners much-needed attention for local charities.
RYOT Work
Somerhalder has been quite active with RYOT, a news-based organization that also helps to promote social change. Somerhalder even dropped by the South by Southwest festival this year to join the RYOT panel titled, "Companies, Non-Profits & the Future of Impact" to discuss the importance of nonprofits and for-profits coming together to change the world for the better.
Congress testimony for wildlife preservation
Somerhalder testified before Congress to promote wildlife conversation. In an attempt to get Congress to consider H.R. 50, a multinational special conservation funds reauthorization act, the actor spoke about the sobering statistics of endangered species such as tigers, apes, elephants and rhinos.

Winnemucca to the Sea Highway
The Winnemucca to the Sea Highway was developed with the idea to establish a continuous, improved route branching from I-80 in Winnemucca, Nevada through Medford, Oregon and on to the Pacific Coast to Crescent City, California. In the mid 1950's there was no direct route linking these regions. Community leaders from points along this proposed highway formed an association. The association worked with state and local governments to obtain funding for the planning, construction and upgrade of the highway. The original proposal was to create one highway, number 140, applied to the complete route. However, this idea never came to fruition. The current traveler actually follows seven different highway numbers: US-95, State Route 140, US-395 State Route 62, I-5 US-199 and US-101. In 1962, the paving of 117 miles to Lakeview from Denio was completed. The Winnemucca to the Sea Highway was dedicated in September of 1962 at Doherty Slide, east of Lakeview.
Highway US-95 leaves north of Winnemucca connecting Nevada and Oregon. Before continuing on to Idaho, the route branches into State Route 140 into Denio, NV. Denio is the last stop for gas for over 100 miles. Rolling desert sage brush eventually transforms into rolling ocean surf at the end of the 494 miles of scenic western views.
Winnemucca displays a 13 foot diameter driftwood log that was washed ashore in Crescent City in a 1964 flood. It was dedicated as a highway marker in 1965.

90...or something.
1) A lot of times I don't finish what I start (like this post for example).
2) I'm moving to Germany on Feb 3, eeek!! What? Have I mentioned this before?
3) I'm really starting to doubt my ability to run a marathon.
4) Some days this blog is the only thing that gets me out the door to run. I feel like I'm letting you guys down if I don't.
5) I'm really excited about moving to Germany but I'm also secretly terrified because I don't speak a lick of German and every time I try to practice I find myself speaking Spanish (which can be very confusing).
6) My husband and I have absolutely no clue about where we're going to live when we get out of the Army.
7) Up to this point I've only ever lived in Texas or Oklahoma.
8) The running community will play a major role in our choice of cities to live in when we get out.
9) I feel like I need to run a marathon in the next year or I never will.
10) I'm going to be without a cell phone and computer for possibly a month (or longer) and that really gives me anxiety.

a marathon is supposed to freak you out and you're supposed to doubt your ability to do it. it's 26.2 miles in one run. if you weren't freaking out you wouldn't be normal. but all that makes it so much sweeter when you finish. Girl, you can totally do it! On top of your awesome family, you have a whole twitter and blogger running community behind you.
Best of luck in Germany - I am excited to hear about the adventure. Lucky for you you'll be on base (right?) so english is spoken there!!

whoa, germany! somehow i missed that...oh right, being 2 weeks behind in my google reader. oops!!

Yeah, I think it's normal to have doubts about running a marathon too, but don't let that stop you!!
My husband and I were stationed in Germany while he was in the Army and we loved it! The people there are so friendly and welcoming...don't worry about not speaking the language, most Germans speak English too, especially the younger generation because they learn it in school. It's a beautiful country. While we were there my husband ran 4 marathons; Frankfurt, Wuerzburg, Prague and Paris. You'll have a great time!

I'm with you on the cell phone thing, my 2 week honeymoon was kind of freaky too. My family had ways to get in touch if need be, but still. Plus they are the types who would say "We wouldn't want to ruin her vacation with bad news!" and not call even if they should, LOL.
I bet Germany will be a blast! Sure, a learning curve and probably stressful... but you'll settle in and I bet you'll love it!

My friend moved to Germany in September for an exchange year, and he loves it! He didn't speak a word of the language either, but he loves it now.
I know your situation is different to his, but you'll be fine!

You're #1 is so funny -- reminds me of ME!
I know you've talked about Germany ... but it feels like all of a sudden it is just coming up SUPER fast! Good luck! I have never been out of the US, except to Tijuana - which doesn't really count. I would be excited, but terrified of being in a new place and not knowing the language. This is exactly why I haven't gone to Europe yet. Some day!
OMG #10!! Eek --- no really, GOOD LUCK!!!

When I was in the army the MWR center gave spouses language lessons once we got to our base - does that still happen? I spoke "Sp-rench" (spanish french) for the longest time . . .and still do more often than I choose either language correctly. Good luck with the language - technology has come SO FAR . . . I'm sure there's an APP for that( that's cracking me up).
I would LOVE to virtually train with you to do a marathon and then we could meet in real life and run it. I think that would be very motivating; however, I'm not sure a marathon is in my plans for the next 365 days . . . UGGG Sorry.
It's all going to be okay - just enjoy all that is about to occur in your life. I'll be thinking about you.

You are so brave going to Germany. That will definitely be an amazing experience. Just think of all the stories you will have to share! :) P.S. I left you a little surprise on my blog!

I-9 Verification
An important first step for new employees is to complete an I-9 Verification.
Purpose: To ensure that all new employees are authorized to work in the U. S.
All new employees of the university (both citizen and noncitizen) must complete a Form I-9 no later than the actual beginning of their employment to indicate that they are authorized to work in the United States. International employees who are not U. S. citizens must be prepared to present documents to support that they are authorized to work in the United States; the types of documents may very greatly depending upon their status.
U. S. citizens must present documents that establish identity and employment authorization. An example of a document that establishes both identity and employment authorization is a U.S. Passport. Some examples of documents that establish identity are a driver's license issued by a state; an ID card issued by federal, state or local government agencies; a school ID card with a photo. Some examples of documents that establish employment authorization are a social security card or a birth certificate. For service, staff, professional, and faculty this verification process is completed at UHRS in Administration Building, Room 350 on or before your first day of employment at the university. The list of acceptable documents to be submitted are shown here .

These glow-in-the-dark handcuffs might not be the most practical method for restraining a disobedient slave, but there are times when the heaviest-duty hardware is overkill. I didn't just write that. What I meant to write was, there are times when all I need is a little show. Last week my favorite slave begged me to go to a lights-out dungeon orgy. I always like to be able to find my slave in the dark. Just before entering the dungeon, I exposed these to a strong light source and secured on cuff to Jorge's wrist. Then I cuffed Jorge to a pole in the darkest corner and let the glow act as a beacon to any and all passersby. I kept the glow-in-the-dark key around my neck and wandered off into the gloom, signaling in my own special way. After an hour or so, the glow weakens, but I can carry a pocket MagLite® for the express purpose of replenishment. An extra key is included, just in case one gets lost.

Convenience Sampling
Mike Battaglia
Convenience sampling is a type of nonprobability sampling in which people are sampled simply because they are "convenient" sources of data for researchers. In probability sampling, each element in the population has a known nonzero chance of being selected through the use of a random selection procedure. Nonprobability sampling does not involve known nonzero probabilities of selection. Rather, subjective methods are used to decide which elements should be included in the sample. In nonprobability sampling, the population may not be well denned. Nonprobability sampling is often ...

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Robert Cohen, Associated Press
FERGUSON, Mo. — A black teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer had his hands raised when the officer approached with his weapon drawn and fired repeatedly, according to two men who said they witnessed the shooting that sparked two nights of unrest in suburban St. Louis.
The FBI opened an investigation Monday into the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who police said was shot multiple times Saturday after being confronted by an officer in Ferguson, a suburb of 21,000 that's nearly 70 percent black.
Authorities in Ferguson used tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disperse a large crowd Monday night that had gathered at the site of a burned-out convenience store damaged a night earlier, when many businesses in the area were looted.
Police Chief Tom Jackson said members of the crowd threw rocks at police and gunfire came from the crowd, so officers used tear gas and shot "beanbag rounds" meant to stun them. Jackson said police blocked off the area where most of the looting and vandalism occurred the previous night out of concern that cars passing by might hit demonstrators in the street.
St. Louis County police spokesman Brian Schellman said there were at least five arrests and no reports of looting. He said police using loudspeakers were urging people to go home.
Authorities were vague about exactly what led the officer to open fire on Brown, except to say that the shooting was preceded by a scuffle of some kind with a man. It was unclear whether Brown or the man he was with was involved in the altercation.
Investigators have refused to publicly disclose the race of the officer, who is now on administrative leave. But Phillip Walker said he was on the porch of an apartment complex overlooking the scene when he heard a shot and saw a white officer with Brown on the street.
Brown "was giving up in the sense of raising his arms and being subdued," Walker told The Associated Press on Monday. The officer "had his gun raised and started shooting the individual in the chest multiple times." The officer then "stood over him and shot him" after the victim fell wounded.
Dorian Johnson offered a similar account when he told KMOV-TV that he and Brown were walking home from a convenience store when a police officer told them to get out of the street and onto the sidewalk. Johnson said they kept walking, which caused the officer to confront them from his car and again after getting out of the vehicle.
Johnson said the first time the officer fired, he and Brown got scared and ran away.
"He shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, and he started to get down," Johnson said. "But the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots."
"We wasn't causing harm to nobody," Johnson said. "We had no weapons on us at all."
Walker said that he did not see a scuffle or the circumstances that preceded the first gunshot.
The St. Louis County Police Department refused to discuss Johnson's remarks, citing the ongoing investigation. But county Police Chief Jon Belmar previously said that an officer encountered Brown and another man outside an apartment complex, and that one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car and they struggled over the officer's weapon.
Jackson, the Ferguson police chief, said there's no video footage of the shooting from the apartment complex or from any police dashboard cameras or body-worn cameras that the department recently bought but has not yet put to use.
Brown's parents and their attorneys asked the public to share any information and videos they might have related to the shooting.

On the basis of Vayikra 11:8, is it permitted to work as an employee at a grocery store as a cashier (not the owner of the business), which would entail touching packaged yet non-kosher food items when you need to scan them? I am asking solely from an employee vantage point, not an owner – the employee making no direct benefit from the transaction other than an hourly wage to scan items and work the till.

Since the question is asked based solely on Vayikra 11:8, the answer is (as quoted by Rashi there, but this is the generally accepted view) that there is no issue with touching them, except in connection with the Temple at the time of the holidays of Pesach, Sukkos and Shavuos (or any other time a Jew wanted to be there).
This means that even for a Kohen, the only prohibition of becoming impure is for a dead person. Animal meat is not an issue for anyone, absent some other requirement to be pure for a Temple service purpose.
That being said, there are other potential issues with doing business with non-Kosher food. See for example here. However that has to do with a different, Rabbinic prohibition where someone may come to eat from the food. Vis-a-vis this verse, there is no prohibition to handle the non-Kosher per se, rather it is prohibited to handle it when it would take away from the holiday obligations in the times of the Temple.

Review: Women's prison show 'Orange Is the New Black' may be Netflix's best original yet
The female prison dramedy "Orange Is the New Black" is the fourth Netflix original series to debut this year (all 13 episodes of the first season should be available to stream after 12 a.m. Pacific tonight), and battling it out with the horror series "Hemlock Grove" for the lowest profile. "House of Cards" was the splashy, expensive acquisition, bought out from under the noses of HBO and company, starring Kevin Spacey, directed by David Fincher, and arriving with all the polish and fanfare of a premiere cable drama. The new season of "Arrested Development" was the resurrection of a beloved comedy series that was canceled much too soon in the mid-'00s. And yet each was something of a disappointment: "House of Cards" felt formulaic and emotionally empty, while "Arrested Development" struggled to recreate the old magic with the characters mostly separated.
"Orange Is the New Black" has a creative pedigree (creator Jenji Kohan was responsible for Showtime's "Weeds"), but also has a relatively unknown leading lady in Taylor Schilling. Netflix has been promoting it heavily of late, and even ordered a second season before the first had debuted, but I had no idea what to expect when I began watching the first of six episodes made available for critics to review. At first the show felt merely like a pleasant surprise — Kohan and company surpassing the most minimal of expectations — but as I began buzzing through one hour after another after another(*) in that addictive Netflix way where episodes are stacked appealingly in front of you like Pringles, I was feeling genuine enjoyment. "Orange Is the New Black" is perhaps the least-heralded Netflix original so far. It's also the most satisfying.
(*) For a company specializing in streaming video, Netflix has a remarkably terrible streaming player for press, one that frequently tends to crash when you so much as pause the action for a moment. I say this not to complain about the not-so-terrible burdens of being a TV critic, but to illustrate just how much I was enjoying the show. The Netflix player for press is so aggravating to use that I'd have stopped after maybe two episodes if I'd found "Orange" to be even average. Instead, I watched all six, frequently cursing the people who wrote the original code for Java.
Once again, Kohan finds herself telling the story of a pampered white woman whose life is turned upside down by an involvement in marijuana distribution. This time, our heroine is Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a secure Brooklyn hipster who dreams of her artisanal soap line being available for sale at Barney's, but who as a younger woman dated a drug trafficker named Alex (Laura Prepon) and occasionally did money runs for her. Alex gets busted, Piper is named as a conspirator — not long, she notes ruefully, before the statute of limitations would have run out — and takes a plea to serve 15 months at a women's federal penitentiary.
The series is based on a memoir of the same name by Piper Kerman, who served as a consultant on the series, and the fictionalized Piper serves as our initial, relatable entry point into prison life. On her first day inside, one of the prison counselors evokes the name of a classic TV series set in another prison, telling her, "This isn't 'Oz.' Women fight with gossip and rumors." "Oz" creator Tom Fontana would describe incarcerated lawyer Tobias Beecher as "the HBO subscriber," and there are ways in which Kohan uses Piper in similar fashion. But she's also aware that her heroine has led a fairly pampered, ridiculous existence — in one episode, a present-day storyline about the vengeful head of the kitchen staff (an unrecognizable, Russian-accented Kate Mulgrew) trying to starve Piper is contrasted with flashbacks of Piper and her fiancé Larry (Jason Biggs) struggling through a five-day juice cleanse, and she makes Larry promise not to watch new "Mad Men" episodes until she's released — and quickly begins filling in the blanks on the women around her. Through Piper, we get to learn how the prison ecosystem works — the voluntary segregation by race, the legal and extra-legal aspects of the prison economy — but we also find out, through flashbacks and present-day dialogue, how the other inmates put themselves here and how incarceration has and hasn't changed them from the person they were before they were given a jumpsuit and an ID number.
It's with those stories — how a shy undocumented teenager from Jamaica grew into one of the prison's most feared elders (Michelle Hurst), the difficult gender transition a fireman made to wind up as the resident hairstylist (Laverne Cox), the way certain lesbian inmates (like Natasha Lyonne's recovering addict) feel when their current lovers prepare to return to men on the outside — that "Orange" becomes particularly engrossing. Schilling makes a good set of eyes and ears, and also deftly handles the show's abrupt transitions from dark drama to ridiculous comedy, but it's the series' clear-eyed take on women's prison culture as a whole that stands out the most.
I should say that I was never particularly fond of "Weeds" when I watched it, finding a lot of the comedy to be overly pleased with itself. Most of the comedic parts of "Orange" didn't especially work for me, either. But it's a measure of how well Kohan and company nail the character and sociological stuff that I ultimately didn't care how few of the jokes were landing. (And on the occasions when a gag does work, like a pair of black inmates doing a prolonged imitation of rich, spoiled white women, it works brilliantly.) And what's remarkable is that no matter how big and broad some of the humor and performances get, it never winds up undercutting the characters or the stakes. Pablo Schreiber hams it up as an obnoxious guard who sports a porn star mustache and will smuggle in contraband in exchange for sexual favors, but when a moment requires the audience to take his character seriously — say, when he moves Piper to the brink of tears while smugly taking liberties during a pat-down — it works.
"Orange Is the New Black" is not, as the counselor notes to Piper, the next "Oz." There's the occasional threat of violence, but the series is much more interested in how a group of women from a variety of racial and socio-economic backgrounds try or fail to connect when placed in the same enclosed space for months or years on end. But it evokes "Oz" in a very, very good way: it doesn't feel quite like anything that's been put on television (if we're still calling Netflix "television") before.
I had no plans for this series beyond the couple of episodes I expected to watch before writing this review. Now, I can't wait to find time to watch the rest of this first season.

What a fun idea for a nursery or youth space! Building a terrarium is a great project to do with your kids that is easy, inexpensive, and a great way to bring life into a space.
Check out these easy to follow directions on how to make your very own, courtesy of cookie mag.
Lay out your ingredients on newspaper: potting soil, horticultural charcoal from a nursery (which keeps stagnant water from stinking), a top layer (sheet moss for a moist terrarium, sand or pebbles for an arid one), a container, plants, and decorations.
Spread a layer of charcoal in the bottom of the container (about 1/4 inch deep for a small vessel, 1/2 inch deep for a large one). Top with a layer of potting soil (from 1/2 inch deep for shallow-rooted plants to 2 inches deep for larger plants). If you're making a mossy terrarium, put down a layer of sheet moss, folding and gathering it to create little hills and dales.
Remove the plants from their pots and dig them into the soil. For moist containers, pierce the moss with your hand and place the plants inside. For dry ones, plant into the soil, then cover the surface with sand, pebbles, or both.
Add toys, rocks, and such, then pour a cup or so of water over the top. If there's standing liquid after a few hours, just water less next time.
Your plants will need to be cut back or replaced eventually, but with the right care (about a cup of water once a month) and in the right light (bright but filtered), they'll be part of your children's indoor playground for years to come.

Vitamin C and Kidney Stones
There is no evidence that vitamin C causes kidney stones.
Indeed, in some cases, high doses may be curative. A recent, large-scale, prospective study followed 85,557 women for 14 years and found no evidence that vitamin C causes kidney stones. There was no difference in the occurrence of stones between people taking less than 250 milligrams per day and those taking 1.5 grams or more.
This study was a follow up of an earlier study on 45,251 men. This earlier study indicated that doses of vitamin C above 1.5 grams reduce the risk of kidney stones. The authors of these large studies stated that restriction of higher doses of vitamin C because of the possibility of kidney stones is unwarranted.
Around three quarters of all kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate; unlike some other stone types, these can form in acidic urine.
Although vitamin C does increase the production of oxalate in the body, there is no evidence that it increases stone formation. Vitamin C tends to bind calcium, which could decrease its availability for formation of calcium oxalate it also has a diuretic effect, it increases urine flow, providing an environment that is less suitable for formation of kidney stones.
Vitamin C could also prevent other types of kidney stones. Less common forms of stone include uric acid stones, that form in gout, and cystine stones, which can occasionally be formed in children with a hereditary condition; these stones are not side effects of vitamin C. Other stones include those made from calcium phosphate, which dissolve in a vitamin C solution.
Acid urine, produced by ascorbate, will also dissolve the struvite stones that often occur in infected urine.
Vitamin C in Preventing and Dissolving Kidney Stones
The very common kidney stone, calcium phosphate stone, can only exist in a urinary tract that is not acidic.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C's most common form) acidifies the urine, thereby dissolving phosphate stones and preventing their formation.
Acidic urine will also dissolve magnesium ammonium phosphate stones, which would otherwise require surgical removal. These are the same struvite stones associated with urinary tract infections. Both the infection and the stone are easily cured with vitamin C in large doses. The common calcium oxalate stone can form in an acidic urine whether one takes vitamin C or not.
However, if a person gets adequate quantities of B-complex vitamins and magnesium, this type of stone does not form. Any common B-complex supplement twice daily, plus about 400 milligrams of magnesium, is usually adequate.
Ascorbate (the active ion in vitamin C) does increase the body's production of oxalate. Yet, vitamin C does not increase oxalate stone formation. Furthermore, you can avoid excessive oxalates by not eating excessive amounts of rhubarb, spinach, or chocolate.
Natural Supplements for Kidney Stones - Renalis
Renalis addresses diet-related kidney stone formation. As diet is an important component to general kidney function, the nutrients found in Renalis support healthy kidney function and may discourage stone formation.
Natural Therapies, including Renalis, may help to ease the pain and spasm that accompanies stone passage, while ensuring kidney health and limiting the potential for future stone formation.
Nutrients including;Hydrangea, Chanca Piedra, Aloe Vera, Magnesium citrate, and Vitamin B6 work synergistically to ensure nutritional adequacy. Thus promoting the health of your urinary tract, exerting an alkali loading effect, providing reductions of urinary calcium levels, and assisting with the passage of developed stones.
Overall, Renalis may provide you with the best option for maintaining kidney health and reducing your chance of stone formation.
Ingredient List for Renalis:
- Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) - Hydrangea has
mild diuretic activity and has traditionally been used to treat kidney
stones and prevent their formation.
In certain cases managed only by a physician, a botanical formula including hydrangea has been used to assist with passage of calcium oxalate or phosphate stones that are no larger than 5mm in diameter, and in patients who are in good health.
- Chanca Piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) - An herb with a
long historical tradition in South America for patients with kidney stones,
Phyllanthus has a body of scientific evidence supporting its use.
In sixty-nine patients who tend to form calcium kidney stones, administration of Phyllanthus capsules for three months reduced urinary calcium levels when compared to placebo.
- Aloe vera - Aloe is better known for its laxative and
wound healing effects.
However, aloe also is useful in patients who tend to form kidney stones. One of it constituents, emodin, has mild diuretic activity. As well, aloe binds calcium and can rapidly decrease the growth rate of calcium crystals in the urine.
- Magnesium citrate - This form of magnesium has added
benefit with both components exerting effects in patients prone to kidney
stone formation. Magnesium increases the solubility of calcium in the urine
and decreases its absorption leading to decreased formation of calcium
oxalate (making up 90% of kidney stones).
Citrate increases urinary magnesium citrate levels and decreases urinary oxalate.
- Vitamin B-6 - In a study of over 85000 women, the results
showed that lower levels of vitamin B6 are associated with increased risk of
developing kidney stones.
The authors suggest that large doses of this vitamin may reduce the incidence of kidney stone formation. Children with a history of kidney stones have benefited from supplementation with vitamin B6, thereby reducing levels of urinary oxalate resulting in no stone formation in a 1 year follow-up, as well as resolution of abdominal pain and blood in the urine.

Chanel's Fall 2009 presentation included many classic pieces like tweed skirt suits, long wool dresses, black and white pieces, and knits.
What was unexpected was the bold geometric bodysuits, the low belly button cut dresses, frilly cuffs, and the silk pants.
Apart from the black and white pieces, green and pink were also thrown into the mix.
What I loved the most from this collection, were the plastic Chanel bags. They had compartments for your classic quilted bag, your Chanel No.5 perfume, your sunglasses, your lipstick, your foundation compact, your iPod, and even your iPod earphones.
I can't wait to see some carrying this bag. Lily Allen will no doubt get this as a gift from Uncle Karl.

Benjamin Harrison -- 23rd U.S. President -- Benjamin Harrison was commanding officer for the 70th Indiana Regiment, a unit he raised. He participated in various action including Sherman's march to the sea. He attained the rank of Brigadier General.
Rutherford B. Hayes -- 19th U.S. President -- Rutherford B. Hayes was very active in the Civil War and was in fact wounded five different times. He attained the rank of Brevet Major General.
Andrew Johnson -- 17th U.S. President -- Andrew Johnson served as military governor of Tennessee. The state had seceded, but Johnson stayed loyal to the Union. He was given the rank of Brigadier General. He did not participate in any military actions.
