Shit off originates from the ancient tribal island of Poon, where small creatures known as Poons, spoke in the forgotten language of Poonish. These creatures were very harsh little creatures, and the most common word or phrase they said was "Shit off", meaning to fuck off, in a nicer way.

Whether you're living with
impotence, low-libido we have reliable information to help you
manage and treat your personal sexual health conditions, If you are
concerned about erectile function, it's important to understand what
erectile dysfunction really is. Failing to have an erection one
night after you've had several drinks — or even for a week or more
during a time of intense emotional stress — is not erectile
dysfunction. Nor is the inability to have another erection soon
after an orgasm. Nearly every man occasionally has trouble getting
an erection, and most partners understand that.
uses holistic cure for
sexual disorders
Dr. Roy receiving
award at Delhi
Can sexual problems be cured?
The success of treatment for sexual dysfunction depends on the
underlying cause of the problem. The outlook is good for dysfunction
that is related to a treatable or reversible physical condition.
Mild dysfunction that is related to stress, fear, or anxiety often
can be successfully treated with counseling, education, and improved
communication between partners.
Can sexual problems be prevented?
While sexual problems cannot be prevented, dealing with the
underlying causes of the dysfunction can help you better understand
and cope with the problem when it occurs. There are some things you
can do to help maintain good sexual function:
When should I call my doctor?
Many men experience a problem with sexual function from time to
time. However, when the problems are persistent, they can cause
distress for the man and his partner, and have a negative impact on
their relationship. If you consistently experience sexual function
problems, see your doctor for evaluation and treatment.
What causes sexual problems?
Sexual dysfunction can be a result of a physical or psychological
Physical causes -
Many physical and/or medical conditions can cause problems with
sexual function. These conditions include diabetes, heart and
vascular (blood vessel) disease, neurological disorders, hormonal
imbalances, chronic diseases such as kidney or liver failure, and
alcoholism and drug abuse. In addition, the side effects of certain
medications, including some antidepressant drugs, can affect sexual
desire and function.
Psychological causes -
These include work-related stress and anxiety, concern about sexual
performance, marital or relationship problems, depression, feelings
of guilt, and the effects of a past sexual trauma.
Who is affected by sexual
Both men and women are affected by sexual problems. Sexual problems
occur in adults of all ages. Among those commonly affected are those
in the geriatric population, which may be related to a decline in
health associated with aging.
How do sexual problems affect men?
The most common sexual problems in men are ejaculation disorders,
erectile dysfunction, and inhibited sexual desire.
Sertraline (Zoloft), Paroxetine (Paxil),
Citalopram (Celexa), Fluoxetine (Prozac), Amitriptyline (Elavil),

Other culprits
This inflammation of the prostate gland can be either acute
(usually caused by a bacterial infection) or chronic (usually
not caused by an infectious agent). Symptoms include pain
during urination, more frequent urination, and — possibly — a
discharge from the penis or fever. Severe prostatitis can
cause erectile dysfunction directly. In milder forms, the
condition can produce painful ejaculation, which can certainly
interfere with sexual pleasure and may lead to erectile
dysfunction. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat
the problem, but it can take several weeks for the infection
to clear and for normal erections to return.
In this uncommon disorder, some of the connective tissue
inside the penis thickens, causing the penis to bend at an
angle when erect. When the condition affects the tissue
involved in erections, it can cause erectile dysfunction.
Peyronie's disease is most common in men over age 40. Many
treatments — including oral vitamin E, verapamil injections,
and ultrasound — have been tried, but their effectiveness is
uncertain, in part because the problem sometimes improves on
its own. When the problem is severe enough to cause pain
during intercourse or prevent penetration, surgery may be
needed to straighten the penis.
An injury to any of the nerves and arteries necessary for an
erection can lead to erectile dysfunction. A pelvic fracture
can cause these kinds of injuries because many nerves and
arteries run along the pelvic bones. In addition, injury to
the brain, spinal cord, abdomen, or, of course, the penis can
impair nerves or blood vessels involved in erections. Such a
problem may be temporary or permanent, depending on the
severity of the injury. Even something as commonplace as
prolonged exercising on a rowing machine or bicycling on a
seat that's too hard can cause erectile dysfunction by
injuring some of the nerves or arteries in and around the
penis, in many cases, cutting back
on such forms of exercise or, for example, switching to a
softer, wider bicycle seat will solve the problem.
not suffer in silence!
More then 100 Million men are affected with erectile
dysfunction world wide. Unfortunately majority of them suffer
silently with their condition and do not prefer to discuss
with any one. Erectile dysfunction can have profound physical
and psychological impact on an individual, leading to loss of
self esteem, increased anxiety and depression. Furthermore
isolation and emotional withdrawal may adversely affect a
man's relationship with his partner.
For centuries, sexual problems has been presumed to be the result of
mental (or psychogenic)
disorders, and countless millions of patients have either undergone
ineffective psychiatric treatment, and many people do not know that,
in most cases physical rather
than psychological causes are responsible for impotence. In 80-90
percent of cases of chronic impotence, the cause is not in the mind
but in the body and if a person is "YOUNG
AT HEART" physical improvement can be obtainable and he
can enjoy sexual bliss throughout the life.
It is now well understood that sexual health is a very important
component of overall well-being.

Erectile dysfunction
occurs when a man has repeated problems sustaining
an erection. Without treatment, ED can make sexual
intercourse difficult. The condition, sometimes
called impotence.
An erection occurs
when blood fills two chambers known as the corpora
cavernosa. This causes the penis to expand and
stiffen, much like a balloon as it is filled with
water. The process is triggered by impulses from
the brain and genital nerves. Anything that blocks
these impulses or restricts blood flow to the
penis can result in ED.
Who Gets ED?
becomes more common as men age, but it is not a
part of aging. At age 40, about 5% of men
experience ED. At age 65, this number jumps to
between 15% and 25%. But this does not mean
growing older is the end of your sex life. ED can
be treated at any age.
The link between
chronic disease and ED is most striking for
diabetes, nearly one out of every two men with
diabetes experiences ED. Other conditions that may
cause ED include cardiovascular disease,
atherosclerosis (weakness of arteries), kidney
disease, and multiple sclerosis. These illnesses
can impair blood flow or nerve impulses throughout
the penis.
Symptoms of ED
Erections that is too soft for sex. Erections that
last only briefly. An inability to achieve
erections. These symptoms may occur every time sex
is initiated or only some of the time.
ED usually has
something physical behind it, particularly in
older men. But psychological factors may be to
blame in 10% to 20% of men with ED. Experts say
stress, depression, poor self-esteem, and
performance anxiety can short-circuit the process
that leads to an erection. These factors can also
make the problem worse in men whose ED stems from
something physical.
Stop smoking. Avoid
alcohol and substance abuse. Keep your diabetes
under control. Exercise and maintain a healthy
Lifestyle choices
that impair blood circulation can contribute to
ED. Smoking, excessive drinking, and drug abuse
may damage the blood vessels and reduce blood flow
to the penis. Smoking makes men particularly
vulnerable to ED. Being overweight and getting too
little exercise are other possible risk factors.
In some cases, ED can
be a warning sign of more serious disease. A 2010
study suggests ED is a strong predictor of heart
attack, stroke, and death from cardiovascular
disease. The researchers say all men diagnosed
with ED should be evaluated for cardiovascular
disease. This does not mean every man with ED will
develop heart disease, or that every man with
heart disease has ED, but patients should be aware
of the link.
Many men with ED are
able to improve sexual function by making a few
lifestyle changes. Giving up smoking, losing
weight, and exercising more often can help by
improving blood flow. If you suspect a medication
could be contributing to ED, talk to your doctor
about adjusting your dosage or switching to
another option.
Research suggests
avid cyclists suffer more ED than other athletes.
The trouble lies in the shape of some bicycle
seats that put pressure on the perineum. This area
between the anus and scrotum contains arteries and
nerves vital to sexual arousal. Cyclists who ride
for many hours each week may benefit from seats
designed to protect the perineum.
It's natural to feel
angry or embarrassed when dealing with ED. But
don't forget that your partner is also affected.
Talking openly about ED will help your partner
understand the diagnosis and treatment options.
This will reassure your partner that you haven't
lost interest.
There are several
forms of male sexual dysfunction, including poor
libido and problems with ejaculation. But ED
refers specifically to problems achieving or
maintaining an erection. Men with ED often have a
healthy libido, yet the body fails to respond. In
most cases, there is a physical basis for the

DENVER — Jonathan Lewis returned to the scene of the crime Thursday night.
Less than spittin' distance from where Lewis dropped a state title match a year ago, the Windsor junior 120-pounder began his quest for another Saturday night performance with a 9-1 victory over Thomas Jefferson's Zion Rivera in the first round of the Class 4A State Wrestling Championships.
"I wanted to get back here and prove that I have what it takes," Lewis said moments after his victory at Denver's Pepsi Center.
The Wizards went 10-2 in the first day of the tournament and leads the 4A competition with 34 points, ahead of Discovery Canyon (28), Thompson Valley (24) and Broomfield (17).
Last season, Lewis dropped a title match at 106 pounds, and has worked his way through a knee injury hoping for more than a repeat performance, running his record to 37-9.
If he thought his first-round performance passed expectations, Windsor assistant coach Milo Trusty convinced him otherwise.
"I wrestled iffy," Lewis said after a review of his mistakes with Trusty, where he was reminded that his next performance would have to improve if he hoped to advance.
"I'm not looking forward at all," said Lewis, who is oddly sporting one gold and one maroon contact lens. "If I do, there won't be a Saturday night. I have to wrestle better (today)."
Lewis' mindset holds true for the entire Windsor team, two-time defending 4A state champions.
"It's way too early," Windsor head coach Monte Trusty said.
It's never too early to score bonus points, and the Wizards piled up their share Thursday as Lewis' victory was preceded by bonus-point victories by sophomore 106-pounder Josh Villa (39-10) and senior 113-pounder Joel Saloman (45-2).
Lewis raced to a 7-1 lead, aided by a takedown/near fall move that put him up 5-0. He added a third-period takedown to his total, and is now two matches away from being center state on Saturday.
"I have to stay focused and not get ahead of myself," Lewis said. "Right now, all I'm thinking about is my next match."
Lewis will face Montezuma-Cortez sophomore Levi Gross (22-10) in this afternoon's quarterfinals.
Villa made the most of his first-ever appearance at the Pepsi Center with a pin over Montrose's Terrell Banuelos in 2:46, but his victory, too, wasn't up to Milo Trusty's standards.
Villa and Milo conducted a mini-practice session in the corridor of the Pepsi Center, working on fireman's carry takedowns and defense of a high crotch.
"That's what I've been working on all season, and I didn't do either very well tonight," Villa said. "I also don't think I finished my shots well enough."
Villa will take on Discovery Canyon freshman Sam Turner (33-5), who won his quarterfinal match via a technical fall, in this afternoon's quarterfinals at 1.
"I think my first (tournament) match is always my toughest," Villa said. "I sort of have to get the drags out. Now I think I can step forward, loosen up and go for it."
Another quick start for the Wizards is essential if they're to keep pace with Discovery Canyon.
"I know that I have some things to fix," Villa said. "I'll do what I need to do."
Windsor senior 182-pounder Cosme Martinez (43-8) added to the Wizards' win total and bonus points with a pin, but plans to perform better in the next two days.
"I didn't have my top-notch stuff," said Martinez, who utilized several high-crotch takedowns to set up his pin.
"I've kept the same philosophy of taking care of my business and the team situation will take care of itself," Martinez added.

Our Facilities
Our land expansion is complete.
The elephants now have unrestricted
access to the entire 2,700 acres of natural-habitat
which has been
doubled-fenced for their privacy and protection.
The new Asian habitat
is 2200 acres, the African habitat is 300
acres, and the Quarantine facility is 200
Since the arrival of our first Asian
elephant in 1995, The Elephant Sanctuary
has led the world in the quest for
providing a true natural habitat refuge
for sick and needy captive elephants.
Since our inception we have had many
We appreciate the opportunity to introduce you to The Elephant
Sanctuary and enlist your support for our on-going
The Sanctuary opened its doors to Asian elephants in the Spring
of 1995. The facilities consisted of
one small barn and 40 fenced acres.
Over the next five years the
expansion included a new 9000-square-foot
elephant house and 200 acres of fenced habitat. During
this time seven needy elephants found permanent
refuge at the Sanctuary.
In January of 2004 the Sanctuary opened a 300-acre
African elephant facility and
welcomed our first three African elephants .
The remaining land, all 2440 acres,
will become the heart and soul of
our new expanded Asian elephant habitat.
In honor of its new usage, this land
has been dubbed Asian Elephant Country.
The expanded Asian habitat will accommodate
our rapidly growing herd of Asian
elephants which as of February 2006
numbered 16 females, ages 32 through
In September 2005 we completed
construction of our expanded
Asian elephant facility which includes a 17,000 square
foot state-of-the-art elephant house
and 2200 acres of habitat with a 25-acre
spring-fed lake. In January 2006, the
resident herd migrated to their new
home, making
possible the rescue
of the Hawthorn elephants.
The completion of the 20 mile fencing
project to enclose the entire 2700 acres coincided with the completion
of the new Asian elephant house. This new elephant house and secured
habitat increases our holding capacity and gives all resident
Asian elephants access to more than 2400 acres.

About the Sanctuary
The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, founded in 1995, is the nation's largest
natural habitat refuge specifically developed to provide a haven for old, sick
or needy elephants retired from circuses and zoos. Since inception the Sanctuary
has rescued numerous Asian and African elephants living in deprived environments
throughout North America. The Elephant Sanctuary encompasses 2700 acres of old-growth
forest and pasture, springs, ponds, streams and a 25-acre lake on the outskirts
of Hohenwald, Tennessee—85 miles Southwest of Nashville.
Our primary objective is to provide a spacious and rich natural environment in which our elephants can fully exercise their sensitive, intense, socially gregarious, complex and exceedingly intelligent natures.
The Elephant Sanctuary also focuses on research and education. We
encourage non-invasive research intended to contribute to the conservation
of this endangered species in the wild. In July 2001, Katy Payne
and a team of scientists collected data on our elephants' auditory
signals and footfalls to further her groundbreaking work on elephant
communication. Education about elephants and the crisis they face
is a daily event at The Elephant Sanctuary.
Returning captive elephants to the wild is not an option. Accordingly, it is our responsibility to provide them a life of peace and relative freedom until they die. When we do that and provide a setting that permits quality scientific research that contributes to the survival of their counterparts in the wild, The Elephant Sanctuary will truly accomplish its mission.
African Elephant Habitat Expansion
New African Elephant Barn
12/13/03: Construction Update
The hydronic floor heat has been installed, the concrete floors poured, the keeper area is framed and the plumbing and electric is nearly finished. The translucent walls are mesmerizing. Daylight as well as the moon's illumination flows into the elephant house, creating a warm and comforting effect, something the elephants will definitely benefit from.
View Slide Show
Tange, Zula and Flora are ready and waiting to begin their new life at the Sanctuary. Luckily for us they possess mega amounts of patience. I cannot say the same for the Sanctuary staff and others who are anticipating this monumental move. The Sanctuary staff has worked diligently to insure that the construction project move forward at a reasonable pace but weather conditions and unforeseen delays are to be expected. Due to these delays it is unreasonable to expect that the elephant will arrive before the end of the year, as we had hoped. We are now shooting for a January 1 completion date with elephants arriving soon after.
11/12/03: Construction Update
Construction is behind schedule but that is to be expected with such a unique building project. Volunteers are coming in on weekends to paint the pipe and inside walls while the contractor works during the week to complete the project.
9/15/03: Construction Update
Due to an exceptionally wet Spring and Summer, construction of the African elephant barn was delayed by several weeks. Our target completion date is still this Fall but more likely November instead of September as we had hoped.
Once the torrential rains subsided and the site work was complete, the work crews wasted no time pouring the footers and erecting this environmentally conscious—elephant friendly barn, we call the Ele Eco-Barn.
Architect Cary Dunn spent hours designing the perfect combination
of function and ingenuity. This building
is designed to conserve precious natural resources while providing
a functional and ele-friendly environment. Two huge plastic cisterns
collect and store rain water for the facility's endless water needs
while the polycarbonate wall panels, which allow natural sun light
in, make the elephants feel like they are outside year round.
The interior concrete walls are under construction and the concrete slab around the interior of the building is poured and is curing. Many of the steel corral post have been set and the building's steel frame has been erected.
Update 9/19/03: The metal ceiling and roof are almost complete and framing has begun for the wall panels. The overhead doors are being installed which will make way for the plumbers and electricians.
A single item with a price tag of $33,500, that may, if we are lucky, never be used, was an easy target for dismissal. After strenuous resistance from Scott and Carol, the Sanctuary co-founders, everyone involved understood why the hoist system was one line item that would not be trimmed.

Overall Experience
Great stay!
September 27, 2016
I was truly impressed by the customer service that the manager displayed while I was checking in. I somehow booked a smoking room and when I got to the specific room the smell was horrible. I started sneezing instantly! I have serious allergies and asthma so I had to request another room. Luckily one was available and Brian quickly accommodated. This hotel is very convenient to the Virginia Beach Town Center and is right next door to the Crowne Plaza (which is also a part of IHG). I was very surprised when the manager told us that we had access to the amenities over at the Crowne Plaza such as the breakfast buffet and bar, etc. I would stay here again but also pay attention to booking a non-smoking room next time. I was sure that all hotels were non-smoking by now but overall, it was a great stay.
Great value for area
September 25, 2016
GReat value, comfortable stay (other than the odor upon first entering the room)
Good hotel but
September 23, 2016
This hotel is not bad but not great. The front desk staff are nice and helpful. I'm personally not a big fan of the general manager. I don't think he's necessarily a bad manager, but not a hospitality industry manager. My one major complaint about this hotel is that the internet is extremely slow. Web pages would time out because of the speed. You also had to get the new password from the front desk every Sunday morning. The location of this hotel is really nice though. It's about a 10 minute walk to town center and about a 10 minute drive to the beach. Their member specialist was really good and very attentive, but unfortunately I'm not sure that she works there anymore since I did not see her for my last two weeks during my stay.
Comfortable bed and great service
September 21, 2016
Comfortable bed and great service. The wireless could of been better but I'm not complaining about the overall experience.

Donati, Patten power Wilmington in playoff rout of Fairview
GROVE CITY -- Wilmington's Tyler Donati and Alex Patton made the most of every opportunity they had Saturday. The duo combined for 366 yards on just 20 carries as they led the Greyhounds to a 47-0 win over Fairview in a Class AA quarterfinal game at Grove City High School.
Donati ran for 201 yards on 11 attempts, while Patton needed just nine rushes to gain 165 yards.
Donati scored the first of his three rushing touchdowns on Wilmington's first offensive play of the game, when he broke through the line and went 80 yards to the end zone.
Wilmington (8-2) added two more scores before the end of the first quarter.
Josiah Bloise made the score 12-0 on a 15-yard pass from Cody Llewellyn, and then Patton's 36-yard touchdown gave the Greyhounds a 20-point lead.
Donati and Patton both scored again before halftime to make the score 34-0.
Patton provided another huge play to start the second half, returning the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown.
Donati's third touchdown capped the scoring late in the third quarter.
Shannon Jackson had 93 yards on 23 attempts for the Tigers (6-4).

It's quite a demanding task that Dallas Brass has taken upon itself - tackling the broad, diverse scope of the American musical landscape in concert.
"It's a pretty big statement, to do that justice," said Michael Levine, the director of the six-piece brass group, as well as its trombone player. "There really is only so much we can get done. I tell our audiences it would take us three months to cover the entire American musical journey.
"But we start in the time of George Washington and go up through the decades, play some early jazz, some of the great American composers like [Aaron] Copland and [George] Gershwin. We do some [John Philip] Sousa marches, Broadway, music from movies. We want to give an overview of how rich our American music culture is."

Dallas Brass perform the theme to the "Pink Panther" during a show.
Dallas Brass will perform its "American Musical Journey" concert at 7 p.m. April 1 at the Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School auditorium. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at either the Hollidaysburg Area Junior High School or Senior High School or at the Hollidaysburg Area YMCA.
The concert is sponsored by the Hollidaysburg Area Music Parents Association and the Altoona Mirror and "is intended to be an educational enrichment opportunity for the students, as well as an entertaining evening of great music for the community," said Scott Sheehan, the director of bands and the music department chairman for the Hollidaysburg Area School District.
Dallas Brass - originally formed in Dallas, Texas, 30 years ago - consists of Levine; D.J. Barraclough, trumpet; Luis Miguel Araya, trumpet; Juan Berrios, horn, alto horn and flugelhorn; Paul Carson, tuba; and Ben Handel, drums and percussion.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Dallas Brass "American Musical Journey" concert
When: 7 p.m. April 1
Where: Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School Auditorium
Tickets: $10. They can be purchased at either the junior or senior high school or at the Hollidaysburg Area YMCA.
"I like to call it an innocent venture on my part," Levine said of the group's origins. "I wanted to put a group together to play weddings, ceremonies, receptions. Then I thought, 'Gee, we could do more than that,' so we got into social events. Then we decided we could go beyond that and do concerts."
"We strictly do concerts now. No more weddings," he added, with a laugh.
The group has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City, which Levine called "daunting," considering that "every incredible musician ever has been on that stage." It also has played at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and overseas, as well as sharing the stage with late comedian Bob Hope and performing for U.S. presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush, according to a release.
It also performed in Hollidaysburg in 2008.
"We wanted our current students, as well as the community, to have a similar musical experience," Sheehan said. "The group is comprised of world-class musicians who are incredibly gifted in sharing their enthusiasm and excitement for music, as well as the many benefits that music offers."
Levine wants to take the group's shows beyond just "entertaining."
"[We want it to be] fun, informative and entertaining," he said. "If I could choose one word, it would be 'fun.' We want people to come and have a good time. I think of it as a show more than a concert. We have blocking, choreography, elements of the theater.
"People don't just come to listen; they come to watch. We want it to be more than five or six guys sitting in chairs, staring at music stands."
The group will also work that day with Hollidaysburg music students and will share the stage with them during the evening's performance.
"The students will have an opportunity to rehearse and attend a workshop in the afternoon," Sheehan said, "which will culminate with both the junior high and senior high bands performing with the group in the evening concert."
Levine said working with students is "a big part of our mission."
"We want to inspire kids, to motivate them to practice and embrace the arts," he said. "Bringing them onstage and performing with them, that makes an impact on them."

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
THURSDAY, Nov. 29 (HealthDay News) -- Lower school grades among depressed adolescents are linked to behavior problems, not their depression, a new study finds.
Researchers examined data from thousands of U.S. teens who were tracked through their middle and high school years and as they moved into early adulthood.
Unlike students with depression, those with behavior problems such as attention issues, delinquency or substance use had lower GPAs than others. The study also found that delinquency and substance use were associated with receiving lesser educational degrees, while depression was not.
Students with two of these problems typically earned lower GPAs and lesser degrees than those with one problem, and some combinations of problems had more harmful effects than others, according to the study, which was published in the December issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
For instance, substance use worsened the educational risks associated with depression, attention issues and delinquency. Having depression did not, however, increase the educational risks associated with attention issues, delinquency or substance use.
"Behavior problems including attention issues, delinquency and substance use are associated with diminished achievement, but depression is not," study lead author Jane McLeod, a sociology professor and associate dean at Indiana University, in Bloomington, said in a journal news release.
"Certainly, there are depressed youths who have trouble in school, but it's likely because they are also using substances, engaging in delinquent activities or have attention issues," she added.
"There's a fairly sizable literature that links depression in high school to diminished academic achievement," McLeod noted. "The argument we make in our study is what's really happening is that youths who are depressed also have other problems, and it's those other problems that are adversely affecting their achievement."
McLeod said the findings suggest that schools should reconsider the approach they take to dealing with students with behavior issues.
"Perhaps, they should think about moving away from punitive approaches toward approaches aimed at integrating these students into the school community," she suggested.

Adam Levine brings a semi-autobiographical sitcom to NBC
Boy. Adam Levine and Gary Hong really want to make a TV series about their friendship.
According to Deadline.com, the Maroon 5 singer and "The Voice" coach and his "Community" writer pal are developing a single-camera comedy about their experiences as best friends and roommates.
Levine and Hong previously developed a karaoke bar comedy, also about their own experiences, in 2011, but that didn't go forward.
A new season of "The Voice," still featuring Levine, will premiere this fall on NBC.

Bringing Communities Closer in Calgary
By Mario Toneguzzi, Calgary Herald
Calgary's Ahmadiyya Muslim and Jewish communities are holding their second scholarly dialogue.
"In a gesture of reciprocal hospitality, the second of a two-part Muslim-Jewish dialogue will be held at the Bait-un-Noor Ahmadiyya Mosque" on Wednesday, said Rabbi Shaul Osadchey, of Congregation Beth Tzedec.
"In the first meeting of the Jewish and Ahmaddiyan communities held at Congregation Beth Tzedec, rabbis and Islamic scholars discussed their respective views on the subject of the meaning and relevance of their religion's holiest scriptures," he said.
More than 250 people attended and for many of the participants, it was their first time to visit a synagogue.
The next dialogue will feature two presentations about the application and relevance of religious law in the lives of adherents of Judaism and Islam.

History of the Turks and Caicos Islands
The history of the Turks and Caicos Islands can be traced back to early European explorations of the Americas. The first recorded sighting of the islands now known as the Turks and Caicos Islands occurred in 1512. In the subsequent centuries, the islands were claimed by several European powers with the British Empire eventually gaining control. After the islands' settlement, the 18th century African slave trade brought many Africans to the Turks and Caicos Islands. Their descendants form a large part of Bahamas' population. The islands were governed by the British indirectly through Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Jamaica. When the Bahamas gained independence in 1973, the islands received their own governor and have remained a separate autonomous British Overseas Territory since.Then was tooken by American people.
Prehistory and early European contact[edit]
The first inhabitants of the Turks and Caicos Islands were Amerindians, who migrated from the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) around AD 700. After approximately 300 years, pottery styles suggest that these local inhabitants of the islands established a unique culture. The people inhabiting the islands in the Bahamian archipelago up to the period of contact are known as Lucayans.
Prehistory and early European contact[edit]
How the islands gained their name is unknown. One reference states that the islands were named after Ottoman-era pirates and was named Turks and caicos relating to the Spanish term for cays or keys. Some refer to the presence of cacti with, what appeared to them to be red fez-like structures on their tops, but this not likely to be true, since the fez was unknown to Ottoman Empire before 1826.
The first European to sight the islands was Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León, who did so in 1512. Spanish slavers frequently raided the islands, enslaving the Caribs of the islands. Only a year after first being discovered, the entire archipelago was completely depopulated.
Colonial history prior to settlement[edit]
During the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, the islands passed from Spanish, to French, to English (subsequently British) control, but none of the three powers ever established any settlements.
From about 1690 to 1720, pirates hid in the cays of the Turks and Caicos Islands, attacking Spanish treasure galleons en route to Spain from Cuba, Hispaniola, and the Spanish possessions in Central America and Peru. The islands were not fully colonised until 1681, when salt collectors from Bermuda built the first permanent settlement on Grand Turk Island.
The salt collectors were drawn by the shallow waters around the islands that made salt mining a much easier process than in Bermuda. They occupied the Turks only seasonally, for six months a year, however, returning to Bermuda when it was no longer viable to rake salt. Their colonization established the British dominance of the archipelago that has lasted into the present day. Huge numbers of trees were felled by the Bermudians to discourage rainfall that would adversely affect the salt mining operation. This deforestation has yet to be repaired. Most of the salt mined in the Turks and Caicos Islands was sold through Bermudian merchant houses on the American seaboard, including in Newfoundland where it was used for preserving cod.
The agricultural industry sprung up in the islands in the late 1780s after 40 Loyalists arrived after the end of the American Revolution, primarily from Georgia and South Carolina. Granted large tracts of land by the British government to make up for what they lost in the American colonies, the Loyalists imported well over a thousand slaves and planted vast fields of sisal.
Though in the short term highly successful, the cotton industry quickly went into decline, with hurricanes and pests destroying many crops. Though a few of the former cotton magnates changed to salt mining, just about every one of the original Loyalists had left the islands by 1820, leaving their slaves to live a subsistence lifestyle through fishing and hunter-gathering.
Bermudian century[edit]
Bermuda spent much of the 18th Century in a protracted legal battle with the Bahamas (which had itself been colonised by Bermudian Puritans in 1647) over the Turks Islands. Under British law, no colony could hold colonies of its own. The Turks Islands were not recognised by Britain either as a colony in its own right, or as a part of Bermuda. They were held to be, like rivers in Britain, for the common use. As a result, there was a great deal of political turmoil surrounding the ownership of the Turks (and Caicos).
Spanish and French forces seized the Turks in 1706, but Bermudian forces expelled them four years later in what was probably Bermuda's only independent military operation. The Bermudian privateer, the Rose, under the command of Captain Lewis Middleton, attacked a Spanish and a French privateer holding a captive English vessel. Defeating the two enemy vessels, the Rose then cleared out the thirty-man garrison left by the Spanish and French.[1]
A virtual state-of-war existed between Bermuda and the Bahamas through much of the Eighteenth Century. When the Bermudian sloop Seaflower was seized by the Bahamians in 1701, the response of Bermuda Governor Bennett was to issue letters-of-marque to Bermudians vessels. The legal struggle with the Bahamas began in 1766, when the King's representative in the Bahamas, Andrew Symmer, on his own authority, wrote a constitution which legislated for and taxed the Bermudians on the Turks. The Secretary of State, Lord Hillsborough, for the Crown, issued orders that the Bermudian activities on the Turks should not be obstructed or restrained in any way. As a result of this order, Symmer's constitution was dissolved. The Bermudians on the Turks appointed commissioners to govern themselves, with the assent of the King's local agent. They drew up regulations for good government, but the Bahamian governor Shirley drew up his own regulations for the Turks and ordered that no one might work at salt raking who had not signed assent to his regulations.
Following this, a raker was arrested and the salt pans were seized and divided by force. The Bahamas government attempted to appoint judicial authorities for the Turks in 1768, but these were refused by the Bermudians. In 1773 the Bahamian government passed an act attempting to tax the salt produced in the Turks, but the Bermudians refused to pay it. In 1774, the Bahamians passed another, similar act, and this they submitted for the Crown's assent. The Crown passed this act on to the Bermudian government which objected to it, and which rejected Bahamian jurisdiction over the Turks. The Crown, as a consequence, refused assent of the Act as applied to include the Turks, and, in the form in which it finally passed, the Bahamas, but not the Turks, were included.
The Bermudians on the Turks continued to be governed under their own regulations, with the assent of the royal agent, until 1780, when a more formal version of those regulations was submitted for the assent of the Crown, which was given. Those regulations, issued as a royal order, stated that all British subjects had the right ("free liberty") to rake and gather salt on the Turks, providing that they conformed to the regulations, which expressly rejected Bahamian jurisdiction over the Turks. Despite this refutation by a higher authority of their right to impinge upon Bermudian activities on the Turks, the Bahamian government continued to harass the Bermudians (unsurprisingly, given the lucrativeness of the Turks salt trade).
Although the salt industry on the Turks had largely been a Bermudian preserve, it had been seen throughout the 17th century as the right of all British subjects to rake there, and small numbers of Bahamians had been involved. In 1783, the French landed a force on Grand Turk which a British force of 100 men, under then-Captain Horatio Nelson, was unable to dislodge.
Following this, the Bahamians were slow to return to the Turks, while the Bermudians quickly resumed salt production, sending sixty to seventy-five ships to the Turks each year, during the six months that salt could be raked. Nearly a thousand Bermudians spent part of the year on the Turks engaged in salt production, and the industry became more productive.
The Bahamas, meanwhile, was incurring considerable expense in absorbing loyalist refugees from the now-independent American colonies, and returned to the idea of taxing Turks salt for the needed funds. The Bahamian government ordered that all ships bound for the Turk Islands obtain a license at Nassau first. The Bermudians refused to do this. Following this, Bahamian authorities seized the Bermuda sloops Friendship and Fanny in 1786. Shortly after, three Bermudian vessels were seized at Grand Caicos, with $35,000 worth of goods salvaged from a French ship. French privateers were becoming a menace to Bermudian operations in the area, at the time, but the Bahamians were their primary concern.
The Bahamian government re-introduced a tax on salt from the Turks, annexed them to the Bahamas, and created a seat in the Bahamian parliament to represent them. The Bermudians refused these efforts also, but the continual pressure from the Bahamians had a degrative effect on the salt industry. In 1806, the Bermudian customs authorities went some way toward acknowledging the Bahamian annexation when it ceased to allow free exchange between the Turks and Bermuda (this affected many enslaved Bermudians, who, like the free ones, had occupied the Turks only seasonally, returning to their homes in Bermuda after the year's raking had finished).
That same year, French privateers attacked the Turks, burning ships and absconding with a large sloop. The Bahamians refused to help, and the Admiralty in Jamaica claimed the Turks were beyond his jurisdiction. Two hurricanes, the first in August, 1813, the second in October, 1815, destroyed more than two-hundred buildings, significand salt stores, and sank many vessels. By 1815, the United States, the primary client for Turks salt, had been at war with Britain (and hence Bermuda) for three years, and had established other sources of salt.
With the destruction wrought by the storm, and the loss of market, many Bermudians abandoned the Turks, and those remaining were so distraught that they welcomed the visit of the Bahamian governor in 1819. The British government eventually assigned political control to the Bahamas, which the Turks and Caicos remained a part of until the 1840s.
One Bermudian salt raker, Mary Prince, however, was to leave a scathing record of Bermuda's activities there in The History of Mary Prince, a book which helped to propel the abolitionist cause to the 1834 emancipation of slaves throughout the Empire.
Bahamian and Jamaican jurisdictions[edit]
The islands remained part of the Bahamas until 1848, when the inhabitants successfully petitioned to be made a separate colony governed by a council president under the supervision of the governor of Jamaica. This arrangement proved to be a financial burden, and in 1873 the Turks and Caicos Islands were annexed to Jamaica with a commissioner and a Legislative Board.
The islands remained a dependency of Jamaica until 1959, when they received their own administration under an administrator, although the governor of Jamaica remained the governor of the islands. When Jamaica was granted independence from Britain in August 1962, the Turks and Caicos Islands became a crown colony. From 1965 the governor of The Bahamas was also governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands and oversaw affairs for the islands. When the Bahamas gained independence in 1973, the islands received their own governor.
Local autonomy[edit]
|This section needs to be updated. (January 2016)
The salt industry, along with small sponge and hemp exports, sustained the Turks and Caicos Islands (only barely, however; there was little population growth and the economy stagnated) until in the 1960s American investors arrived on the islands and funded the construction of an airstrip on Provo Island and built the archipelago's first hotel, "The Third Turtle". A small trickle of tourists began to arrive, supplementing the salt economy. Club Med set up a resort at Grace Bay soon after. In the 1980s, Club Med funded an upgrading of the airstrip to allow for larger aircraft, and since then, tourism has been gradually on the increase. It is common for foreign couples to be married in the Turks and Caicos Islands today.
In 1980, the ruling pro-independence party, the People's Democratic Movement (PDM), agreed with the British government that independence would be granted in 1982 if the PDM was reelected in the elections of that year. The PDM lost the elections to the Progressive National Party (PNP), which supported continued British rule. The PNP's leader, Norman Saunders, became chief minister, and won the 1984 elections. However, in 1985 Saunders and two associates were convicted in the USA on drug charges.
The PNP emerged victorious from the following by-elections, but on 24 July 1986, the governor dissolved the government and replaced it with an advisory council after a report on allegations of arson and fraud found that the chief minister post-Saunders, Nathaniel Francis, along with four other PNP officials were unfit to rule.
Under the careful guidance of the governor and the advisory council, a new constitution of the Turks and Caicos Islands was created and elections held in 1988, with the PNP winning by a landslide, and Washington Misick becoming the new chief minister.
Elections in the Turks and Caicos Islands were held on 24 April 2003 and again on 9 February 2007 with the PNP, led by Michael Misick, winning both.
The islands' political troubles in the 2000s resulted in a rewritten constitution promulgated on 9 August 2006. In April 2006, Premier Misick reaffirmed that his party saw independence from Britain as the "ultimate goal" for the islands, but not at the present time.[2] In 2008, after members of the British parliament conducting a routine review the administration received several reports of high-level official corruption in the Turks and Caicos,[3] Governor Richard Tauwhare announced the appointment of a Commission of Enquiry into corruption.[4] The same year, Premier Misick himself became the focus of a criminal investigation after a woman identified by news outlets as an American citizen residing in Puerto Rico accused him of sexually assaulting her[5] although he strongly denied the charge.[6]

people- check out this link for some great Primal ideas if you haven't already
Ha I feel the same way about corn starch I stopped using it after reading Omnivore's Dilemma, after the author pointed out that pretty much every processed food comes from corn or soy. And there's no way I could ever find corn starch in the wild, or make it on my own, it can only be made by industrial processes...Definitely not Primal!
Anywho, what else will everyone do for Thanksgiving? I'm really trying to find ways to make celebrations more about doing things than eating, does anyone have any good family traditions? Touch football? Everyone going for a walk after dinner? Family card or board games?

people- check out this link for some great Primal ideas if you haven't already
This is soooo strange. I'm very excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas but I couldn't care less about starchy grainy traditional parts of it. I just don't crave it anymore. I do agree that you have to have some appropriate substitutions if you're gonna go that route. After all, it's a tradition.
Griff, good call on cauliflower "mashed tators". I was thinking maybe a bit of mashed sweet potatoes just for the heck of it, but that's even better.
We're probably going to be cooking for a big family this year neither one of whom are primal so I'm going to have all the regular goodies made for them. They are the kind of people who might literally have a heart attack if there are no real mashed tators, stuffing, or pies.
But I will also be making some broiled veggies, cauli mash, crustless pumpkin pie and that should make me very happy. Oh, instead of traditional turkey, I think we might go with some nice ham.
By the way, where are you going to be getting your turkeys from? I checked the local farms and they range in price between $60 and $75 depending on weight. That might be kind of pricey for me.
I'm going to do turkey, gravy, mashed cauliflower, green beans with butter/almonds, and some kind of dessert. I was actually thinking I could make a berry or pumpkin pie with an almond flour crust. My daughter tried the pizza I made over the weekend and her first comment was that the crust tasted like pie crust.
Oh, that sounds good. I've read before from the poeple who tried making pie-crusts with almond or coco flour that it's a bit hard to handle.
What about pumpkin mousse? I've never made it, but it seems like you could do something creamy and custardy and delicious in little ramekins, no crust required.
Wow, so many great ideas! I live in Canada so Thanksgiving is coming up in a couple weeks!! I'm just cooking for myself and my b/f though, so I don't have to worry about pleasing a posse of CWers. I'm terrified about Christmas with the in laws though...hopefully I can show them the light when my b/f sings my thanksgiving praises! Anyway, since this is my first holiday gone primal, I really wanna have a lot of fun with it and experiment. My b/f has given me license to primalize the whole works, but he wants cranberry sauce and I dunno how I'll monkey that one. The stuffing will be breadless. maybe something with fruit and nuts? Not too sure yet.
I'd love to have squash of some kind, are there any that aren't too starchy? I'd be happy with just the pumpkin pie filling the bill, but squash with butter and a sprinkle of nutmeg....mashed potatoes got nothin' on that!
Use fresh cranberries Pandora! I've never made cranberry sauce from scratch, but it seems that if you used some nice spices you could at least cut down on whatever sugar is usually there. I'm starting to really want mashed cauliflower drenched in butter...
You are what you eat,and what you eat eats too - Michael Pollan
Every year I attend a pot-luck thanksgiving at my sister's church. I haven't quite decided what to bring this year, but will keep watching this thread.
I wanted to say something about the gravy problem everyone is having. I've been playing around with making curry each week and found that before I add all the seasonings, it looks/tastes/acts like cream of mushroom (with ground beef in it lol). I bet if you were to brown some beef, collect the drippings, add coconut milk and some small cut mushrooms.... primal cream of mushroom?
On that note, use coconut milk in place of the normal wondra(or flour)/milk(or water) "roux" that most people use to make the gravy. I would recommend finding a brand you like first, as some can be unexpectedly sweet or coconut-y (even if labelled as unsweetened), and experiment before the big day.
I think we should, as a community of pioneers, reinvent Thanksgiving. Rather than try and mimic the current one, blaze a new path and decide on new "traditional" dishes to serve that fall in with our way of living.

I'm not saying that *nobody* has done this; merely that I'm not aware
of any public source of any such model, nor have I ever heard of
anyone seriously working on one.
It may just be that other sorts of older modeling techniques serve
adequately well. Or it may be that many people have done this and few
have published. Or it could be that I didn't plug the right keywords
into google. ;-}
