Historical Traveler Reviews Cumberland House Gatwick Horley
Really enjoyed our stay the night before our honeymoon and the night of our return from egypt.
The rooms are very comfortable with tea and coffee facilities and the best shower I've used in a very long time!
Lovely english breakfast in the morning.
Will certainly stay again.
Great Hosts! Wonderful Accomodation.
Stayed at the Cumberland House on June 10th, for one night. Carmel was a sweetheart. She collected us from the airport and made two trips due to the six people in our party. All the rooms were well appointed and each had a fan to help cool the air. Just happened that we came on a 30 degreee day but still found the rooms comfortable with windows that opened. We really enjoyed the wonderful accomodations and superb breakfast. Clive met us in the morning and returned us to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Carmel gave us great direction for a short walk to the downtown to poke around in the morning. As others have said Six Belles is an interesting pub just a 2 minute walk away. It has lots of history within it's walls. * Just a note... we wanted to run a tab for the 6 of us for dinner and drinks and that meant we had to stay inside the pub. They have a very nice outdoor patio but you need to pay as you go out there, I believe. Food was good and pints were right. The old church yard next door was interesting as well. Check it out if you need a little stroll after dinner.
All in all... I would highly recommend the Cumberland House for overnight stays as well as longer ones. It is central to the area around the Gatwick airport and only a 30 minute express train ride into Victoria Staton in London. Cheers!
Clean,Comfortable,Welcoming and Great Location
This was our first stay at Cumberland House but certainly not our last. The first good thing of note was the property was easy to find with clear easy to follow directions not the usual panic or squabble about whos fault it was because we were lost!. Next the welcome from Carmel and Clive was warm and genuine and it just kept getting better when we were led to an excellent, clean room with everything the weary traveller needs. Next morning we were provided with a hearty, well cooked ( not swimmimg in grease) breakfast and later we were provided with an efficient transfer to Gatwick. On our return from the States we were met by Clive and taken the short distance back to Cumberland House where our car was waiting for us. All in all this was a great stress free experience and is highly reccomended.
Just the facts, Ma'am
This B&B is about 5-10 minutes from Gatwick Airport. The owners provide transportation to/from during their listed hours, otherwise it is a 5 pound taxi ride. The owners are extremely gracious and helpful. It is about a 3 minute walk down to the Six Bells Pub (restaurant) which is not to be missed if passing through this area. Although the B&B backs up to a relatively busy street in Horley, we slept with the windows open and were not disturbed. Our second floor room was comfortable, not opulent, but very clean and utilitarian. The full English breakfast will 'set you up for the day'. Due to its small size the owners are able to be responsive to guests needs and requests. If passing through the Gatwick airport area, this B&B is an excellent alternative to the large hotels, both in price and service.
A Very Welcome Rest!
We recently traveled to North Africa and returned to our home via London where we stayed at Cumberland House. What a delight! We had a wonderful time, and our hosts Carmel and Clive could not have been more generous and accommodating! We found them both to be helpful and considerate, particularly as we had a small baby with us, and were made to feel very welcome.
We would highly recommend Cumberland House to all travelers!
What a shame
We stayed here for one night before leaving for a holiday. We found Carmel very welcoming and hospitable both on the phone and when we met her in person. Our room was comfortable and clean and breakfast was good. We also enjoyed a meal at the Olde Six Bells pub that they recommended. What a shame then that during our lift to the airport, Clive found it acceptable to air his racist views.
Home away from home
We have been guests at the Cumberland House several times over the years when traveling through Gatwick.
It is a very convenient location, and Clive and Carmel are the most gracious of hosts. We hope to continue visiting in the future and the Cumberland House will always be our choice of where to stay. Highly recommend!
English hospitality combined with Irish charm
My wife Elizabeth & I needed a stopover near Gatwick en-route from Inverness to Paphos, Cyprus. Our initial enquiry to Cumberland House, by email was answered within minutes by Carmel. That kind of response is always very helpful when planning any kind of trip. Carmel's email contained all the relevant details to enable a booking to be set up. The offer of free collection from Gatwick and return there the following morning courtesy of Carmel's husband Clive, was gratefully accepted. The welcome at Cumberland House on a very cold and frosty night was unbelievable. Clive helped us in with our luggage while Carmel fixed us up with a glass of delightful hot mulled wine. After a perfect night's sleep in a warm, comfortable room, we woke up to some delicious aromas escaping from Carmel's kitchen. Refreshed after a great shower - English B&B showers can be very temperamental - they can either scald you you or freeze you to death, but this one was superb - plenty of pressure, combined with an ease for getting the temperature just right. We knew by the smell of freshly baked bread coming from the kitchen that the breakfast was going to be something special- it was..!! Perfect poached eggs with sausage & bacon, washed down with pots of piping hot coffee. Clive and Carmel are English & Irish respectively - a great combination..!! They obviously enjoy what they are doing and it shows. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Elizabeth & I stayed with them again on our return from Cyprus. A different room this time, but every bit as clean and comfortable as the first had been - and, yes another great shower & another great breakfast....
Cumberland House
I first stay at Cumberland House in September of 2003, spending an entire week while visiting with a friend. In 2004 they were sadly booked up and I had to stay elsewhere. My, Cumberland House had certainly spoiled me and when I came back through on that particular trip I took a chance that they'd have a room and stopped by and they did have a room for me. It's always a bit like coming home. And the wonderful breakfasts! I stayed again in 2005 and now in 2006 and I must say that Carmel and Clive always take very good care of me. They provide transport to and from Gatwick, and did I mention the breakfasts? Despite being close to the airport it is very quiet and Six Bells Pub is just down the road and Horley is a great town for shopping and meals. I will always try to book in to Cumberland House when I am passing through Horley and I know I will be treated very well when I do.
An Excellent Stay
Last November 2005 I had a long journey from Cornwall to Gatwick with the National Express coach and needed somewhere comfortable to stay overnight near Gatwick Airport. I was very fortunate to find Cumberland House. I was made to feel very welcome by Carmel and Clive, both on the telephone when booking and on arrival. My room was spacious and comfortable with all mod cons and breakfast next morning was an excellent start to a very long day travelling to Florida! Highly recommended.

The effects of subcutaneous injections of human erythropoietin (rhEpo) on the circulatory response to submaximal and maximal exercise were studied in healthy male subjects (n=15). Hemoglobin concentration [Hb] increased from 152 g · l−1 to 169 g · l−1 and in parallel maximal aerobic power (Vo2max) increased from 4.52 to 4.88 l · min−1. There were no significant changes in heart rate, ventilation and blood lactate concentration during the exhausting run. Compared with infusion of red blood cells, there was no significant difference in the increase in Vo2max per gram increase in [Hb]. Systolic blood pressure at 200 W increased from before rhEpo treatment to afterwards. It was concluded that slow (rhEpo treatment) and acute (red blood cell reinfusion) increase of [Hb] resulted in similar increase in Vo2max.

In mid-July of 2011, I was diagnosed with a form of testicular cancer referred to as "non-seminoma". I was told that this particular form of cancer is slightly more aggressive than it's relative "seminoma". Luckily, i was also told that it had been discovered in its ealier stages, and that it is very treatable. So the doctors began to do what they do best and, started taking the first steps to help my recovery. Along with removing the cancerous testicle, they also thought it best to run a few more tests to see if the cancer had done what it is typically known for- spreading or in doctor lingo "metastasized".. Shortly after a CT scan I had received the unfortunate news that the cancer had indeed spread. It was now in both of my lungs. And to be completely honest- that was a scary day. However, with the immediate and endless support from my friends and family, I soon realized that cancer is not something to fear, but rather something to embrace, and use to benefit not only my own character, and strength but, also the strength of those other men and boys out there who are currently, or will eventually have to fight this disease.
And that's where "Save The Marbles" comes into play. I've received support in so many different ways, that have made this "journey" easier for me to deal with. There are a lot of guys out there that need the same kind of support. Not just emotionally but, financially, mentally, and physically. Save The Marbles' goal is to be able to offer that support in every way we can, just as I received it in the most difficult time of my life; immediately and endlessly.

I'm working with a client who had several WordPress installations on a shared bluehost account, and there were so many issues involved with it, mainly with the database server reaching it's load (it was only 11 Mbs?!) and we were being throttled because of this. I ended up moving him to a VPS Solution.
He wants met to set up a failsafe, or redudndant solution for his site. I know I can use Round Robin DNS, but that doesn't help in the case of a server going down because of cached dns paths. What is the best solution for load balancing and redundancy?

Cardioversion: Electrical Cardioversion
For electrical cardioversion, your doctor first gives you a medicine that relaxes you and controls pain. Then your doctor places paddles or patches either on your chest or on your chest and back, depending on your doctor's preference.
The paddles or patches send an electrical current to the heart. The electrical current stops the heart momentarily. When it resumes beating, the heart usually starts in a normal rhythm.

Hello everyone. Little Miss Ivy is getting a lot of ear infections these days. She sees a naturopath so I have lots of different things I am doing to clear them up. They usually clear up in a few days but then she will get another one the next week. The doc says that they don't usually prescribe antibiotics for ear infections unless they don't clear up within a few days. Ivy's always seem to clear up but then they come back. The doc says there is probably still a little fluid in there and the bacteria just keep growing. My hubby really wants her to be put on antibiotics. So I thought I would check here since I know our cleft babies are prone to ear infections. Has your child had multiple ear infections? How many times have they been put on antibiotics for it??
ear infections and antibiotics
Ivy Amelia born at home 6/19/10, Cleft Palate/Lip, �EP with�Silver Boob ( .�Y .�) and rockin' cloth
Lily 8/08/01 Big sis!
My daughter's had 2 ear infections. One was pretty mild and went away with antibiotics. The second one was stubborn and stuck around so we had to do a second round of a different antibiotic and also ear drops. She's been clear for about 4 months now.
I understand the concern for antibiotics. Have you had ear tubes put in. That might be a better approach because that could solve the problem and not just treat it. Even with antibiotics the ear infections won't go away if her ears can't drain. I know they like to wait until palate or other surgery to put tubes in but you may want it done sooner.
I haven't done antibiotics yet. I don't really want to..I am not a fan of using them. Rather I am not a fan of the overuse of them. But Dh thinks she should have them. So I just want to see what other kids' doctors are doing for them. We see the ENT in April

Lily 8/08/01 Big sis!
Mario had fluid in his ears before the tubes, but never got infected enough for anyone to see. He had tubes placed when he got his palate repair (even though the stitches didnt hold) and had 6 ear infection in less than a year! The only way to get rid of them was with antibiotics. Without antibiotics life is HELL! Personally I would do the antibiotics to save your DD some pain, but thats my personal opinion. If you dont feel 100% comfortable with it dont.
They ended up having to replace his tubes 3.4.11 because they werent working because of the fluid build up. When they went in to take them out he had granulomas ALL around BOTH of them so THATS what was causing all the continuous infections.
I asked the surgeon why she thought this happened and she said it was most likely from all the reflux and vomitting he did. He JUST got a Nissen today so hopefully that will help a lot keeping the tubes in working condition.
Does Ivy have reflux at all?
Jude had ear tubes and they fell out within weeks because there was so much mucusy drainage. Since his tubes were put in, he has had constant ear infections and drainage. The 3 ENTs we've seen all think it wont clear up until after his palate repair. Jude's had antibiotic ear drops 8 times and oral antibiotics once in the last 6 months. Right now his ear drums burst again because of the mucus build up. My husband wants us to go see the ENT again for antibiotics. I really don't feel comfortable with the amout he's already gotten. Judes infection clears up with the antibiotics and then gets bad again after they're done. I don't think antibiotics are necessarily the right path anymore.
What natural remedies are you using? I've tried Lavender and it seemed to work ok. What did your naturopath suguest?
Wife to Q, Mum to B (7) - Autism, J (5) - BCLP & nonverbal Autism, A (4)
Hi everyone. Thanks for the input. Here is what I do for Ivy's ear infection:
*I put "ear oil" in her ears 3-4 times a day. It has St Johns Wort and garlic and olive oil and soem other stuff. I get mine from my Doc clinic but they have similare stuff at Fred Meyer's natural section. I put in a couple drops then plug her ear with a piece of cotton ball.
*She takes a dropper full of Vitamin D each day for immune system support
*Just today I finally remembered to pick up a tincture for immune support that has Echinacea that she will get 3-5 times a day
*Today I also picked up homiopathic earache tablets. I am giving her a half dose of that.
*This is the weird one....my doc told me to put her in "warming socks" at bed time. So I get a pair of cotton socks and get the wet with warm water. I put them on her then put her in fleece footy PJs. This is supposed to pull the congestion down from the head to the feet (don't ask me how). So this encourages the fluid to exit the ear canal or whatever.
*She also told me to rub a small amount of castor oil on my fingertips and massage the area behind her ears an down to her neck where the Eustacian Tube is to promote drainage.
*She also said that I can rub castor oil on Ivy's belly from ribs to pubic bone and this will promote the growth of white blood cells
I also asked her about fevers since I know that fevers are just the body's way of fighting infection but i also know you shouldn't let them get too high. She said that 102 is fine to get to. If is goes to 103 then try to lower it.
I give Ivy infant tylenol soemtimes when she is really uncomfortable or her fever gets too high.
It's a lot of stuff to remember to do so I forget parts all the time. I am just wondering if it may be time to try antibiotics. My doc says that mainstream docs aren't prescribign them much anymore for ear infections so I just wanted to see what others were doing. I am thinking about trying a dose of them to see if it clears up. Sounds like some of you aren't having luck with that technique either though

Lily 8/08/01 Big sis!
I'm not a big antibiotic fan either, but we did use them with Averie. She didn't have a lot of ear infections, but she did have one persistent one that lasted for two months, and we were a week away from palate repair so I finally wanted it GONE and it took amox to get rid of it - her antibiotic drops weren't working because the gunk that was draining out of her tubes was so thick that the drops wouldn't make it through and in to her ear canal.
It seems like, from what you describe the way they are happening, Ivy is probably having one continuous infection, that simply is improving with treatment and then gets worse again, rather than multiple going away and coming back. It is true that a lot of mainstream docs avoid antibiotics as well because studies have shown that generally they do not clear up the infection any more quickly. However, our kids are different. Their ears do not drain the fluid like NCA kids do. Our kiddos are more prone to ear infections that are longer lasting and more severe as a result. You might consider doing one round of antibiotics to see if it does a better job of getting rid of the infection. If it continues to persist I would not continue to put her on meds, but one round shouldn't hurt.
Also, to let you know, Averie has not had a single EI since her palate repair. She does jack with her tubes pretty much constantly - I don't know if they bug her or if it's just her thing to mess with her ears, but they seem to be working and ever since that one nasty one cleared up we have had no issues! She did, however, have to have a third set of tubes placed (lost one, it was replaced at palate repair, and then both it and the other one came out about six months later) because of persistent fluid, but no infections in the fluid, it was just affecting her hearing which is why we had them replaced. Our ENT told us it can take 7-8 YEARS for the muscles of the palate to "learn" their job after palate repair...
B 12/04, A 2/09 (cleft palate), ^i^ 11/14, Rainbow Baby girl arriving 10/15
Just wanted to put a plug in for chiropratic adjustments. They are completely painless and work great for reflux and EI's. Not that I haven't had to use drugs to help with both. Our cleft affected dd is 5 and has had only two ear infections, she's had one set of tubes which are out now. My other kids never had too many EI either so I wonder if it's the gene's! I use garlic and olive oil drops with a cotton ball too. The trick is to catch it early, once it get's flaming usually antibiotic's are the way to go.
Megan, mom to dd 12 (cycstic fibrosis), ds 10 (cycstic fibrosis), dd 9 (unilateral cleft lip & palate), ds 7 and ds 2..
I talked to the doc today and we are going to do a round of antibiotics to see if it clears this up. I really hope it does because I hate seeing Ivy in pain!

Microphone Techniques for Improved Pickup of Stage Performances
Effective microphone pickup of stage presentations has always been difficult because of the wide area covered on stage, location of actors in different places at varying distances from the microphone, and pickup of ambient noise. This paper describes a study of microphone placement techniques utilizing the stage floor surface to reflect sound out to the microphone at the stage apron. Measurements have been made of a variety of microphone types ranging from the single element dynamic cardioid microphone to the condenser shotgun microphone. Data is presented for usable acoustic gain before feedback, effective area of microphone pickup, and microphone frequency response for each type of microphone tested and in each placement position.

This is a coastal region. The Black Sea, beaches and marshes are characteristic of the area of Schleswig-Holstein. The capital city is Kiel with its lively streets, sea air and lots of sun. At Schleswig, you can go to St. Peter's Cathedral or see the Viking Museum. At Plön, there is a castle and, if you visit Bad Schwartau, you will see life in a spa town.

Mars City Shadowrun
Barry Goldstein
Troll gangster-imposing and deadly. But soft at heart? Probably not....
An 8 ft tall troll with dark red/tan skin and curled horns, Barry would cut an imposing figure even without his gang jacket and grenade launcher equipped assault rifle. Drinks heavily, mostly to forget is childhood-he was cast out of his family at puberty, when he goblinized, and scavenged the barren areas of CalFree State before joining up with a metahuman go-gang and terrorizing the small settlements of the area. He took the name of the first man he killed: Barry Goldstein.
With the law closing in on his gang, he took off for Mars, where he figured he could find some bodyguard work. He was taken in by Mad Martians boss Yoleus, and remains immensely loyal and grateful. Age 24. 1 1/2 years on Mars. Became an MM leader after Y's death & the merge with the Problem Children.
Got infected with CFD at some point, and was responsible for the deaths of many others in the gangs. On the loose on the surface of Mars.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
Showing results 56-62 of 62
Tim looks at the comic book landscape as it stands in late 2009 and identifies the Top 10 Ongoing Series right now. Punisher? Green Lantern? Uncanny X-Men? Scalped? Guess which series takes the top spot.
With "Scalped" #27 in stores now, CBR talks with writer Jason Aaron about the Vertigo series' current arc, "High Lonesome," which examines the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of book's cast.
Over the next few months, more than one hundred collected editions will be hitting the shelves at a store near you. Which ones are worthy of shelling out the big bucks? Tim takes a look and gives a run down of his Top 20.
In this week's spine-shattering installment of When Words Collide, Tim delves deep into Jason Aaron's personal history as he matches wits with the noted comic book writer in "Jason Aaron: The Superpro Years."
CBR News speaks with "Scalped" writer Jason Aaron about his new arc, "Gravel in Your Guts," as well as the writer's future plans for the Eisner-nominated Native American crime saga from Vertigo.
Things went well as five comics made the jump and two more easily could have, while even Wheelie makes something of himself, Logan deals with the Hulk's grandkids and one Chimera tries to become somebody.
With the relaunch CBR adds a dedicated reviews team to its team of contributors. Check out what they had to say about "Action Comics," "Amazing Spider-Man," "Scalped," "Secret Invasion" and more.

How about we allow people with reputation >= 5000 to see deleted questions & answers?
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
I agree with Michael Mrozek, people don't need to see ALL deleted question, but they should always be able to see their own questions that were deleted.
Expecially considering that questions are deleted without prior notice.
Why would they need to? 10k users can see deleted posts, but that's because they also have the ability to vote to undelete them, which is hard to do if they're invisible. If users can't undelete posts there's no reason for them to see deleted posts in the first place

Louise Osternin, left, from Sweden, and Gary Erb from Colorado came through the Texas Panhandle recently on a friendship mission to Cuba.Ron Marlow/Globe-News Humanitarian mission workers stop briefly in Amarillo area
By RICKY GEORGE
Globe-News Staff Writer
Friends of Cuba bound for the island nation stopped briefly near Amarillo, not knowing what reception they will receive at the U.S. / Mexico border.
The small group stayed Sunday night at the Peace Farm outside Amarillo and departed Monday for Oklahoma City. They are part of the eighth "Friendshipment" humanitarian mission organized by Pastors for Peace.
The caravan, which has around 200 participants, set off from Spokane, Wash., on July 6. The group split to take different routes across the country and will eventually meet in McAllen. They will cross the U.S. / Mexico border, then travel to Tampico, Mexico, to fly to Cuba.
About 500 tons of aid will be shipped to Cuba, according to route coordinator Corrine Kohut. Five mobile libraries and other vehicles such as ambulances are part of the aid. Raw materials to manufacture antibiotics will be shipped as well.
American government officials have given different responses to the Friendshipment volunteers when they reach the U.S. / Mexico border, according to Kohut.
U.S. Customs officers seized a school bus that was part of the convoy, she said. Some of the volunteers went on a hunger strike until the bus was released 23 days later.
On the fifth Friendshipment, two customs agents attended the orientation the caravan members before crossing the border, Kohut said. The agents said anyone who crossed the border would be arrested. The volunteers decided to cross anyway, but no one was arrested.
Kohut, fellow coordinator Chris Laroche and four other "caravanistas" set out from Washington and went through Missoula, Mont.; Douglas, Wyo.; Boulder, Colo. and Denver. In Denver, three more riders climbed into the VW van painted with the caravan's ideals.
One of the folks who came aboard in Denver was Ben Jordan. The 20-year-old is a student at Denver's Metropolitan State College and a member of Coloradans for Cuba.
The trade embargo with Cuba is not only hurting the Cubans, but it also is damaging U.S. businesses, according to Jordan.
"Canadians are gobbling up tourism, nickel mining and other markets," he said.
Thirty years of the embargo has not budged Castro, Jordan said.
"Nothing has shown any promise," Jordan said.
A different perspective came from Martin Osterlin, a Swedish national traveling as part of the caravan with his wife, Louise. Both are architects in their home country and have traveled to Cuba before, Osterlin said.
"We think it's necessary to let the Cubans decide for themselves how to develop their society," he said.
Meeting Americans out on the road has been a good experience, according to Osterlin. The van with its slogans in green and purple paint always starts conversations at gas stations and restaurants.
"We've met a lot of love and warmth," he said.

How do I change the permissions for a specific group that I have created?
Say for example I create four new users named Anna, David, Carl and Eva and I also create two different groups which I name technician and normaluser. Now when I have created these groups and users I move Anna to the technician group and David to normaluser.
But here is where I'm stuck, I dont know howto give the technician group 'rwx' or full permissions and give normaluser group 'rx' and the rest should just have 'x'.
I've tried with the command chgrp {-R} [group] [file|directory] .. But that kind of messed up my whole system, cause that command changes the group of all the stuff. Also I can't seem to find anything that works with chown {-R} [user]{:group} [file|directory].

ELECTION: S.D. council candidates balance district, citywide issues
The battle for the District 1 seat on the San Diego City Council appears to be finely balanced between neighborhood issues and the bigger city picture.
Councilwoman Sherri Lightner and retired businessman and former pension board President Ray Ellis are trying to show that they can juggle the needs of La Jolla, Carmel Valley and University City while navigating issues such as the city budget, water rates and pension reform. Both candidates have said that they can get the job done for the constituents in District 1 while representing San Diego as a whole.
But Ellis and Lightner have defined themselves with contrasting styles throughout the race.
Lightner won the seat in 2008 against former city administrator and flight school founder Phil Thalheimer, who ran a well-funded campaign with grass-roots support. Before joining the City Council, Lightner was the president of the La Jolla Town Council and La Jolla Shores Association as well as the secretary of the La Jolla Community Planning Association.
"You know me," Lightner said at a debate in front of the La Jolla Rotary Club Tuesday. "My kids grew up here and I have lived here for 20 years. I am proud to run on my record of service."
Supporters, such as Councilman Todd Gloria, have said Lightner has been a tireless advocate for the neighborhoods she represents.
"I would argue she is good on citywide issues such as her water policy, but I would agree 100 percent that no one can match her knowledge of her community," said Gloria, one of Lightner's biggest public supporters.
While Gloria and other members of the Democratic Party have been actively campaigning for Lightner, there has been a notable absence of support from the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council, a group that traditionally supports Democrats such as Lightner.
Lightner's record has at times clashed with the group's position ---- she backed the Proposition B pension overhaul, for one thing ---- which has kept the council from endorsing her.
The councilwoman has often been a swing vote on various city issues, which hasn't gained her much Republican support either.
Ellis has support of the county GOP and notable Republicans such as Mayor Jerry Sanders. He has also touted endorsements from Republican-turned-independent Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher and Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs, a Democrat.
Ellis got to know some of the city's political heavyweights through his volunteer work with organizations such as Voices for Children and Second Chance. Additionally, his work with the Balboa Park Conservancy and appointment to the San Diego City Employees' Retirement System board bolstered his political resume to a point Sanders said Ellis could someday make an excellent mayor.
Ellis frequently uses his work on both boards and involvement with the passage of Prop. B, the initiative to switch most city new hires to 401(k)-style plans, as examples of how he has helped the city as a whole.
"I think we did great work while I was there (on the retirement board), but I realized I could do more," Ellis said. "That is why after discussing it with the family, we decided to run for City Council because as your City Council member in District 1 I can take those collaborative skills and that willingness to work together and bring that to City Council to produce results for taxpayers and our citizens."
Political consultant John Dadian, who is not involved in the District 1 race, said it is important for candidates to focus on broad issues as well as neighborhoods, especially in the northwestern region of San Diego.
"Ray is looking at the Prop. B vote and thinking people are considered about the city as a whole, but in District 1, they look at themselves as different from the rest of San Diego," he said. "In that district, one of the keys is knocking on doors and having people get the chance to get a feel for their personal representative."
Ellis finished ahead of Lightner in the June primary by four percentage points, but didn't receive the majority needed to avoid the Nov. 6 runoff election.
An incumbent hasn't lost a City Council election in 20 years.
The election is on Nov. 6.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
Could a Good Night's Sleep Guard Against Alzheimer's?
Or it might just mean that Alzheimer's disease causes sleep disturbances, he added.
"So far, there is no evidence that sleeping pills reduce Alzheimer's disease risk," said Cole, who also is associate director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, David Geffen School of Medicine. "Like problems with sleep, people treating the sleep loss with sleeping pills still have increased Alzheimer's disease risk. You wouldn't want to lose too much sleep worrying about sleep loss as a cause or consequence of Alzheimer's disease until we learn more."
Dr. Sam Gandy, director of the Mount Sinai Center for Cognitive Health, in New York City, said sleep appears to be necessary to clear the brain of toxins like beta amyloid.
"There is accumulating evidence that beta amyloid and other metabolites are cleared during sleep, so there is probably at least an effect of sleep dysfunction on beta amyloid accumulation," Gandy said.
"That does not exclude the possibility that amyloid regulates sleep," he said. "That should be testable, by transferring cerebrospinal fluid from sleep-deprived animals into non-sleep-deprived animals to see whether that causes sleep dysfunction in the recipient."
For this study, Spira's team used data from 70 adults who took part in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Those in the study, who had an average age of 76, reported how well they slept, while the amount of beta amyloid in their brains was measured with brain scans.
The researchers found that those who said they slept less -- around five hours a night -- and those whose quality of sleep was poor had more plaque build-up than those who slept longer and better.

I am quoting a part of Python documentation: "A program doesn't run any faster when it is read from a .pyc or .pyo file than when it is read from a .py file; the only thing that's faster about .pyc or .pyo files is the speed with which they are loaded."
I don't understand what does it mean when it says it doesn't affect the running time but the loading time? Could someone please explain it a little deep that I can understand completely?

The last two weeks or so, Caleb has had red cheeks. It reminds me of someone that has been outside for a while in the snow. He's never had them before so it's odd to me. I haven't mentioned it yet to his card. We go to his appointment on the 25th so I'll definitely bring it up then. His sats are still 78-84 and his energy level still seems to be the same. Some days, he won't even have them but other days, they're bright red. My mom had mentioned to me that she knows sometimes high blood pressure can cause rosy cheeks. I know it may not even be anything but it's just weird that he's never had them before and now he does all of the sudden and it's not a constant thing. Anyway, anyone else ever dealt with this and do they look red to you or am I just crazy? lol
Red cheeks all of the sudden? Pic.

Alexa started to get rosy cheeks... like even a bit redder than your son's in that picture. I brought it up to our cardiologist. He wasn't concerned. It is intermittent and not a constant. I'll be interested to hear what your card says. I will tell you that Alexa has slightly high blood pressure, but did prior to the rosy cheeks - and it hasn't gotten higher. Caleb is CUTE!

haha, no we are in Florida. No cold or wind. That's what I think he looks like, wind burn but it's not the case. Anyway, it's weird. I talked to one of his old NICU nurses tonight and she mentioned it may be allergies so I think I'm going to go over everything we've done in the last few weeks to see if I've added anything new.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 1989
Running Time: 76
Director: Henri Pachard
Company: VCA Pictures
Cast: Randy Spears, Fred Savage, Vanessa (I), Jamie Gillis, Sharon Kane, Keisha (I), Barbara Dare, Caroline Laurie, Bionca (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Knowing that the two main players in this hot little drama are Sharon Kane and Keisha, which would you suspect plays Fire and which Ice? Which is not to say that Keisha is exactly icy... she's just a little too careful about whom she picks a lover, although considering what happens to her with Tim (Savage), maybe "careful" isn't quite the right word. In any case, hot-blooded Aurora (Kane) always manages to trip Susan's (Keisha) boyfriend and beat them to the bed before Susan does, which causes Susan a great deal of unhappiness, the viewers a great deal of pleasure watching it all.
That Aurora certainly is devious. Who else would plot to have her new (married) boyfriend catch his wife and the laundress (Dare, Laurie) in a girl/girl embrace, get him to divorce her, and then marry him, all to regain the family homestead? And the girl/girl action doesn't stop there. Be sure to catch Keisha and Bionca towards the end. (You've already seen Bionca earlier riding a dildo stuck in Randy Spears' mouth). And all this is only part 1, if you can believe it. With a lovely cover shot, the first in this series is a must for stores who push quality.

LONDON (AP) - The head of the Church of England says the current
economic crisis shows that slavish devotion to economic dogma can
be as dangerous as blind obedience to a political ideology.
In an article published in Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams warned of the dangers of
forgetting the costs to individuals in the rush to defend a system.
He mentioned the erosion of pensions, job losses, and the impact of
the financial crisis on the Third World.
Williams has previously described "unbridled capitalism" as a form of idolatry.
In the Daily Telegraph article, he drew a parallel with the Nazis, who he said had created a system of principles which ignored "the human face of suffering."

Finding a natural solution
by Allison Martin
Delicious, Nutritious, Product Review, Juice
Most days I just don't have time to make breakfast. It's the most important meal, though, so usually it's a Larabar and juice for me. I like Larabars because the ingredient list is short and they are delicious. My favorite bar, the Apple Pie, is just dates, walnuts, unsweetened apples, almonds, raisins, and cinnamon. That's it! They also have Cinnamon Roll, Lemon Bar and Banana Bread bars.
So what to sip with this delicacy? I recently stumbled upon a delicious cherry juice called Cherry Pharm. The cherry juice is not from concentrate (although apple juice from concentrate is added). It contains the juice of 50 tart cherries, and accounts for 2 servings of fruit. Plus, the tangy zing wakes me up on the way to work.
Problem solved. A satisfying and yummy breakfast that will keep you going all morning.

Brentwood Corporation, Molalla
Estimated annual savings: $86,000
SierraPine Composite Solutions, Medford
Estimated annual savings: $588,700
Vigor Industrial, Portland
Estimated annual savings: $190,000
An on-demand dust ventilation system is helping Brentwood to control airborne particles and debris, eliminating the need for new dust collection equipment and saving the plant an estimated $86,000 in annual energy costs.
The EcoGate® On-Demand Ventilation System improves the capability and energy efficiency of the plant's existing dust collectors. Equipped with three new variable frequency drives for existing fans and one new master control station, the system senses when airflow is or isn't needed to a machine and uses a series of automated gates to direct capacity to other workstations. Brentwood now has room for additional pieces of equipment in the plant at limited additional energy cost.
Over $257,600 in cash incentives from Energy Trust covered nearly 50 percent of the project's upfront cost. The new system is estimated to save more than 1.3 million kilowatt hours of electricity in annual energy consumption.

Simple behavior changes and maintenance improvements at SierraPine resulted in significant and persistent savings —helping the manufacturer reduce its energy use by 11.3 million annual kWh.
Although SierraPine had participated in capital energy-saving projects, company personnel were skeptical they would find much energy waste in the operations and maintenance of plant equipment by implementing Strategic Energy Management. For 11 months, SierraPine and Energy Trust worked together, walking through all areas of the facility to examine equipment, review operating schedules and procedures and look for energy-saving opportunities. "Strategic Energy Management helped us set aside time to give energy efficiency more attention," said Wayne Ralph, electrical supervisor. "Doing that paid off by reducing our annual energy costs by $588,700."
With technical assistance and over $200,000 in cash incentives from Energy Trust, SierraPine improved the operation of refiners and modified equipment schedules to minimize idle operation. "Had it not been for Strategic Energy Management, we might not have seen the enormous penalty of using the previous design," said Ralph.

Pino Masnata, Futurist: A Life in Science and Art
The Poetry of Pino Masnata from 1919 to 1968 took the Futurist parole in liberta (free-word style) into a psychological depth that was unusual for the Futurist artists and very different from the poetry of the movement's founder F. T. Marinetti. Roberto Masnata will talk about his father's poetry and show images of the graphic poems never before seen in the United States.
Poet Andrew Joron will open the program with a demonstration of the theremin, an electronic music instrument invented by Léon Theremin in 1920. The performer creates sound by means of two radio frequency oscillators, without touching the instrument.
After the talk: Andrew Joron; composer Charles Amirkhanian, Artistic director of radiOM and Other Minds, San Francisco; and Margaret Fisher, translator of Pino Masnata's Gloss of the 1933 Futurist Radio Manifesto, RADIA (not radio) will join Roberto Masnata to discuss the legacy of Futurist art in poetry and the electronic arts. A reception follows.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Human posture indicates a lot about a person, but comic book superhero posture says just as much about the artist. There is a school of thought, founded by Dr Alexander Lowen (a student of Reich), which posits that emotions are stored in the body. The way we stand, move, and our aches and pains are all be the physical expressions of a repressed emotion. Over time, these stored feelings can become so ingrained in our bodies that they're visible to the naked eye.
Now I'm paraphrasing here, since I lent my copy of Bioenergetics to a friend, but as far as I remember it, the idea is that a person's posture indicates their emotional state. The idea that stuck most clearly in my mind is that a man who holds his chest forward is showing himself to be more aggressive or confrontational, and that a man who instead leads with his pelvis is passive. From a biological standpoint I can see some logic in this, since a man's pelvis contains his genitals, which are relatively exposed and undefended and so sticking them out would make a man rather vulnerable. In terms of leading with his chest, where armored with muscle, it is standard practice to equate this sort of posture with aggression, to the extent that men regularly bump chests at sporting events and other masculine bonding rituals.
According to the same theory, a woman who leads with her chest forward is more vulnerable. In arching her back to protrude her chest and ass, her back curves and her stance is weaker. This can be seen in the way a woman's posture is changed by wearing very high-heeled shoes, it makes her appear more sexually available and less aggressive. Conversely, a woman standing with her pelvis forward, leading with her pelvis and leaning her torso back on it, denotes a more aggressive female stance. Biologically, unlike men, women have reproductive areas which are much better armored by bone and fatty tissue, and so leading with the pelvis first can be said to be more aggressive from that point of view as well.
It's really interesting to look at these ideas in the context of comic book superheroes. These different postures of the sexes are seen over and over again in the stance of superheroes, drawn in radically different ways by artists. I've always found it fascinating to look at the way different artists draw the same character, entirely changing a character and the story they're creating simply by changing the posture of that hero. Some artists will draw every male and female character with similar body-types and similar posture (which I've often thought says more about their own attitude to life than it does depict any of particular character or storyline), while some artist will draw different postures for different characters. There are artists who use their art to show an awareness of how different posture (as well as different physiques) will create a dramatic change in that character's power and mood, and in this way, move a story along with subtle visual cues.
The first artist who's depiction of posture dramatically jumped out at me was Arthur Adams back in the 80's. His stylized drawings of women depicted them arching their back to what would be a painful degree, if they were real. With large breasts throw forward, and round asses protruding, his women aren't just well-endowed, they're standing with an extreme arch in their backs. He creates a sexually available posture for his female characters. His male characters generally have slightly less of a curve to their back's, though they also have their chests strongly forward. This makes sense, these men are superheroes and when they're going up against evil, they're usually meant to be pretty aggressive. While I enjoyed the way he drew, I initially had a hard time swallowing this sex-kitten postures that he gave his female characters. Eventually I came to rationalize it in the following way; Adams is depicting women who won't ever have to be able to defend themselves because they have superpowers. Therefore they are able to lull their foes into a false sense of security by appearing so sexually overt. They gain a sullen power, as if to say "Screw you, I don't have to stand up straight, I've got superpowers."
John Bolton's honest, straightforward characters immediately impressed me, since they are literally that – straight. Their posture is unadorned and erect, they do not need to slouch or arch in order to show their power, they simple present themselves with the healthy posture that they were born with. This simplicity lends his characters an honesty and integrity that perhaps not all characters warrant, but for me, whenever I read his stories, I can't help but trust these heroes. He never draws them with any physical imperfections, no arching backs, or jutting chests. They're super heroes in the clearest sense of the word, perfect physical specimens. There's no posturing in the posture, no need for them to show off anything because they are strong enough to be able to just be in the world. He draws people with a serenity and solidity of stance, their posture shows them to have a confidence and a power that regular humans just can't keep up with. By giving them such serene, erect posture, he reiterates their position as more than human.
Increasingly in the last year Amanda Conner's drawings of women have impressed me. She has an ability to create a very different physical type for different female superheroes, as well showing their dramatically different postures, appropriate to age, power level, and character. It is a breath of fresh air. One of my favorite examples of this has to be her fantastic drawings of Supergirl in Wednesday Comics, who looked younger, smaller, and less developed than I'd previously seen her. Most importantly, she stood straight. No arching back, no busty seduction posture. She suddenly had all of the integrity and forthrightness of a corn fed, middle-America Superman, (as it should be.) Meanwhile Conner's simultaneous take on Power Girl gave us an extremely well-endowed woman, happy to arch her back for a cover shot, but usually too busy throwing her back into a punch to stand up straight. As a super hero, Power Girl's sexually available stance dramatically contradicts her incredibly aggressive attitude. It works because one look at her costume shows us that she's consciously using her secondary sex characteristics to throw off her foes, but more than that, it works because Conner manages to make it look like a pose she's throwing, not her actual posture. There's layers to the character there and it's cleverly done.
These are just three examples of the ways that artists depict super heroic posture in comic books, but it's something I always take note of. Perhaps it's because I grew up learning about things like Alexander Technique and Bioenergetics, or maybe it's just because I have a fine art training so I spent a lot of my youth drawing people, but whatever the reason, I've always enjoyed looking at how superhero posture is depicted, and trying to read the meaning behind it.
I found this article to be very interesting. Thanks for sharing it .
The concept that emotions are stored in the body is not new. It has been taught by yogis for 4000 years.
I've been teaching Iyengar yoga for 20 years, and my students have often called me a mind-reader.
Well I can't read minds, but I CAN read their bodies.
It's quite easy for the trained eye to discern if somebody is angry or lustful or joyful or grieving or dishonest, etc.
Those yogis must be hella old.
Great post.
Interesting post. Thanks Sonia. The analysis of the different art styles rings true. I do wonder, though, about the Bioenergetics theory about men "leading" with their pelvis. Maybe that's a sign of passivity — but I can also read it as a lustful pose, telegraphing a man's desire for sex but not necessarily anything about his specific style in bed.
Heh. Specific style.
"Toad style is immensely strong and immune to nearly any weapon…when properly used, it's? almost invincible!"
Awesome idea for a column.
Another interesting article. John Bolton's back-ups in the Classic X-men reprints were some of my favorites.
Great contrast analysis on Amanda Conner…I never noticed that before…but looking over her stuff in Power Girl 12 after reading the article, I can see how much of Power Girl's personality and confidence is painstaking portrayed through her gait and positioning…
Weird and intriguing….
My favourite artist for drawing body language through posture and stance, etc is Frank Quitely. Sometimes I wish they'd just hire him to do layouts for characters in several different titles at a time (he could handle that assignment, right?).
Very interesting article! Drawing characters myself, I really need to incorporate this into my work.
And I agree with stealthwise re: Quitely. He actually made Superman slouch in his Clark Kent guise!
Pretty inspired topic.
Personally, I always thought that the posture of superhero characters was due to their being based (I assumed) on weightlifters and supermodels, probably used as artistic references. Otherwise why would heroes (especially female ones) always look like they're posing for a shot? Of course, by the 90's, the exaggeration of anatomy (muscles for men, T&A for women) to absurd levels made this pointless. But yeah, GOOD artists should always draw characters in realistic postures. (Depending on context of course- what's the best posture when you're holding a collapsing building for example? )

Other Women's Voices: Translations of Women's Writing Before 1700
The majority of these women were nobility, but writings from other women are also available. These include the works of Sei Shonagon, a prominent literary figure and attendant at the Japanese court in the 10th century, and Rabi'a al-'Adawiyya, of Basra, Iraq, who may have been a freed slave living in the 700s. Available texts include drama, prose, poetry, biography, visionary literature, history, memoirs, and letters that shed light on how women viewed such diverse topics as war, crime, class, sexuality, sex roles, and especially religion, in the particular contexts in which they lived. The website offers a biographical portrait of each writer with pertinent facts, though little additional historical context is provided.
