Quote:We were actually just responding to the fans who said that they really loved the "Family-Heavy-Metal-Tree" which we created [check it out HERE]. Headbanger's Journey was more of an exploration of the culture and controversy of heavy metal, and it wasn't really about the history of heavy metal. So there was a big piece of the story we had left out. And since we got a lot of feedback to the "Family-Tree", it spawned the idea to turn that into a TV series.
Quote:People feel an identification with music, there is a certain attitude to the music; a certain way of dressing and it brings people together. But my academic background also can be a hindrance; we don't want to make metal out as a pure scholarly thing since at the end of the day, it's just entertainment and there for people's enjoyment.
Quote:VH1 Classic aired all our other projects, so it was a no-brainer to pitch the Evolution Series to them first. They like metal; they have an audience for metal; and the series was a big success. Beyond VH1 Classic, there are not a whole lot of networks that would commit of doing a massive show on the history of heavy metal. But with that said, VH1 understood why we wanted to do an episode on extreme metal but felt that the music was too extreme and the bands were too obscure for their network.
Quote:The reason you probably haven't watched MTV in a long time is because they don't show music anymore. Unfortunately MTV and a lot of other channels have become reality and teen life-style channels.
Quote:If down the line some networks actually want to air this, then we will have those conversations. But given the fact that this is a fan funded episode, online seems the best place to air it.
Quote:Yes, we do get some royalties, but believe me, they are nowhere near what we need to finance the work. That's why, in the past, we did go to networks for the funding. Believe me, if us here at Bangor would be sitting on a pot of gold, we would already had made the episode.
Quote:Eric Greif has been enormously supportive of our work. He is a hugely important figure in the extreme metal scene; obviously by managing Chuck Schuldiner's band Death. He is actually someone who has been really helpful in providing ideas and suggestions on how we can make this episode happen.
Quote:Good question, but we are hoping that the final chapter of the extreme metal episode is going to touch on some of the bands that helped transform the genre to what it is today. A couple bands I have in mind are Gojira from France, Enslaved from Norway, and Opeth as well. We actually could turn the Opeth story into part of the discussion on why this impulse to move away from the extreme sounds, to be doing something more progressive, more folky. I am interested in talking with Mikael [Åkerfeldt] about that; maybe in his point of view there are limitations to extreme metal, I don't know.
Quote:We actually have a few ideas if we are not successful on this first campaign. We will launch a second one next year among other things, since the fans want this to happen and frankly we hate failing here at Banger Films.
Quote:We are working on two feature film documentaries right now. One is on the life story of Alice Cooper and we are really excited about this one and hope to release it at the Toronto Film Festival next year.
The other film is actually our first non-music one, and it's about the history of Satan. Looking at the culture influence of Satan in modern times, and why the idea of Satan continues to be a part of film, TV, literature, music and media. On why the Devil just doesn't go away even though we live in a time of great skepticism. We already interviewed Linda Blair [the possessed child in The Exorcist], the head exorcist at the Vatican , and Zeena Schreck - the daughter of Anton LaVey who was the founder of the Church Of Satan. We also already interviewed the occult film-maker Kenneth Anger and many, many others.
Quote:We have obviously interviewed Bruce Dickinson, since in the Eighties, when the whole satanic panic was exploding, they were in the middle of it. [referencing to Iron Maiden's 1982 release of The Number Of The Beast, which led to their branding as Satanist by some Christian Groups].
We also interviewed Arthur Brown, since back in the Sixties and Seventies he was actually called the Devil by many people. Beyond that we are actually trying to steer away from focusing on metal because we have done so much on metal and we want to broaden our horizon and look on how the Devil is influential on other parts of life.

That Mayhem interview is priceless.
Written by Valentin B on 27.10.2012 at 03:05
but seriously, I'm more interested in the Satan documentary than the one about extreme metal, but that's because I feel like I don't have much more to learn about it.

Thx. Even thought it was an interview afterall, I thought since it doesn't pertain to a band at all, I will take the article approach. Not to toot (sp) my own horn, but I think it actually came out pretty good with the paraphrasing and all.
Will def. do something like that again.

Well, you could have taken the normal interview approach, even though it wasn't with a band. Lucas and I took that approach in 2008 when we reviewed the organisers if Dutch Doom Days. And we posted it as an interview and not as an article
And to be honest it worked really well http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/interview.php?interview_id=481

Editor's Note: Since you've all been good and read parts one and two of this excerpt from Zero Configuration Networking: The Definitive Guide, by Stuart Cheshire and Daniel H. Steinberg, it's time to have a little fun. In this code-heavy final installment, the authors take what they've shown in the previous sections and apply it to creating a game, using Zeroconf/Bonjour for the networking and Swing for the GUI. Each instance of the game advertises itself on the network and browses for potential opponents. While the game of tic-tac-toe is trifling--and this implementation doesn't even bother enforcing the rules, since that's off-topic--what you'll find here are the essentials of creating a self-networking Java game, or any kind of collaborative application, on the LAN. Note that you can also download the code directly from the book's example page. Enjoy!
Tic-tac-toe is a game ordinarily played on paper by two people sitting near each other. The board is a three-by-three grid and usually one player marks squares using X's and the other using O's. The players alternate marking the squares, trying to end up with three of their marked squares in a line (i.e., across, down, or diagonally).
In the Zeroconf version, players register service instances of type
_tic-tac-toe-ex._tcp and browse for other players. The game program has two main classes,
TicTacToe and
TicTacToe browses for other players and displays the list of what it finds. It also opens a listening socket, advertises it with DNS-SD, and then fires off an independent background thread to sit and wait for incoming connections.
GameBoard can get instantiated in two ways. If the user clicks on one of the discovered players in the list, then we make a new
GameBoard, and start a
DNSSD.resolve( ) running for the named service. When the newly created
GameBoard object receives the
serviceResolved( ) callback, it connects to the specified host and port and begins playing the game, listing for messages received over the network from the peer, and sending messages to the peer every time the user clicks in a square. The other way a
GameBoard can get instantiated is on the receiving end of a connection request. If another user clicks on us in their list, then our
TicTacToe background thread will receive an incoming connection request. In this case it also makes a new
GameBoard object, but in this case no resolve-and-connect is needed, because the TCP connection is already open. A player can have any number of active games, connected to different opponents, at once.
Figure 8-1 shows the
TicTacToe class's browser window showing the list of discovered opponents on the network.
Figure 8-1. Window displaying available opponents
Figure 8-2 shows a
GameBoard window for a game in progress with a player called "Mike."
Figure 8-2. TicTacToe game board
Note that the purpose of this example is to demonstrate the Zeroconf-related aspects of writing a Java program. As a result, this example does not try to implement the rules of tic-tac-toe; for example, it does not enforce that the players are supposed to take turns clicking squares.
Each time you run the program, it asks the system for a new unallocated TCP port to listen on and then advertises that port number to its peers using DNS-SD. One of the benefits of DNS-SD is that, because it advertises port numbers as well as hostnames and addresses, programs are no longer restricted to using fixed, hard-coded port numbers. This means you can write a program and it can use any available port when run, instead of your having to apply to IANA to get a new well-known port number reserved for every program you write. There are only 65,535 possible TCP port numbers, and they'll run out quickly if every person in the world gets one reserved for every program they write. In addition, even if you get a well-known port number reserved, you get only one, so that doesn't help when you want to run two copies of your program on the same machine. You'll see that, with the TicTacToe program, you can run as many copies as you like on the same machine, which can be very helpful when testing, especially if you're working on your laptop computer on an airplane and don't have a whole network of machines available.
Most Unix systems allocate dynamic TCP port numbers starting at 49152 and working upward. If you have some kind of personal firewall running on your machine, ensure that it is configured to allow incoming connections to high-numbered ports (49152-65535). Otherwise, the firewall will do exactly what it is supposed to do: prevent your networking program from receiving any incoming connection requests. Most firewall programs don't give you any feedback to tell you when they've silently discarded an incoming connection request, so this can be quite frustrating to debug if your program is failing and you don't realize that the personal firewall is the cause. The TicTacToe program window title shows the port number it's listening on, so that you can cross-check with your firewall settings and verify that your personal firewall is allowing the necessary packets through.
Our TicTacToe program calls
DNSSD.register without specifying an instance name, so it automatically gets the system default. When it gets the
serviceRegistered callback, it updates the window title to show its advertised name. You can try some experiments to see how Multicast DNS name conflict detection works. If you run a second copy of the TicTacToe program on the same machine, you'll see the second copy gets the same name with "(2)" appended. If you plug your Ethernet cable into a network where your name is already being advertised by another TicTacToe program, you'll see your window title update to show a new name. You can also change the system default name while the TicTacToe program is running, and you'll see that it gets informed of the new name and updates its windows. On Mac OS X, you set the system default name by setting the "Computer Name" in the Sharing Preferences.
The TicTacToe program also pays attention to its own advertised name in order to exclude itself from the list of discovered games on the network.
Example 8-7 shows the source code for TicTacToe.java, and Example 8-8 shows the source code for GameBoard.java. You can compile them both directly on the command line by typing
javac TicTacToe.java and then run the program by typing
java TicTacToe, or you can use the Makefile shown in Example 8-9. The Makefile builds the classes, placing them in a subdirectory called classes, then makes a Java jar file from the classes, and finally runs the resulting jar file with
java -jar TicTacToe.jar.

You have now seen how to implement a basic service in Java and advertise it using DNS-SD. The TicTacToe application registers and browses for services of type
_tic-tac-toe-ex._tcp. You have resolved services and provided the underlying plumbing to send and receive messages. The remainder of the code managed the GUI elements.
With just a few lines of code, you can add DNS-SD advertising and browsing to your own Java programs.

International Escape Artist & Entertainer Curtis
- Serving:
- Serving California
If you are looking for a magic show featuring a world-class escape artist, look no further. Unlike other magicians, I focus on escape artistry that will leave the audience completely mesmerized.
With years of professional experience, I customize my magic shows to display breathtaking escape tricks that will leave you and your guests mesmerized. I reach out to such events as large corporate functions, reality television, trade shows, and special guest appearances.
If you are looking for a stunning magic show that will blow your mind away, look no further. My magic shows consist of events that are featured in various television spots, headliner shows, disappearing acts, and close-up acts. With a great spark of charisma and energy, I keep my performances upbeat with excitement. Having been featured by and with such high-volume figures as Larry King, Paris Hilton, Tony Curtis, E! Entertainment, and Gene Simmons, as well as tours around the world, I promise nothing short of exceptional performances that will keep your amazement alive.
Specializing in escape tricks, I can perform other such tricks as making people disappear, comedy skits, and sawing a person in half. My escape shows can be as simple as freeing myself from handcuffs to as extraordinary as escaping a death trap. Other tricks include escaping being buried alive, escaping restraint by a straitjacket, and escaping a locked, enclosed water chamber with handcuffs on. I can make my tricks as personal or as staged as you wish. No matter whether you feature my acts in a personal dining room or on a large stage, you will never experience a dull moment.
Because I seek to make my performances interactive, as well, I can, upon request, have the audience engage in my performances as part of the act. You get to experience the fun, as well as have the time of your life.

text: My DS had his 9-month checkup last Thursday. He remains in the 85% percentile for height (29.25 inches!) and 60% percentile for head circumference. But - he has dropped from the 25% to the 5% percentile for weight - he is only 16 lb, 11 oz! He is crawling, pulling himself up to standing, and otherwise doing everything he "is supposed to" at this age...it is just that he is so darn skinny. Should I be worried? The clinician said that "he's doing great", but that I should bring him back in another six weeks for a weight check and that I should increase his solids intake from 3 times/day to 4 times. I have upped his solids and he seems ok with it. Any thoughts on this? I know I should not worry, but I am losing confidence looking at such a low percentile. I am wondering if he is taking after my body type - I am a small-boned Filipina; 5"6 and 100 lbs. I get slack from the IL's too, since my nephew is 2 yrs old and 35 lbs...the implication is that I am starving DS or something. Help! TIA!

Note: Firm is out of business. Do not use these products. Please discard or destroy these products.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: "Molly" and "Betsy" Cribs
Units: About 400 (This recall was first announced in Dec. 2001)
Manufacturer: LaJobi Inc., of Cranbury, N.J.
Hazard: The cribs have cut-outs in the end panels that can allow young children to get their heads entrapped, which can pose a strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC is aware of the death of a one-year old girl whose head and neck became entrapped in the headboard cut-out of the "Betsy" style crib in 2003 in Mississippi, following the 2001 recall. No additional incidents or injuries have been reported.
Description: This recall involves both "Molly" and "Betsy" style wooden cribs. The end panels on the "Molly" style cribs are made of solid wood with openings on both sides. The end panels on the "Betsy" style cribs are constructed with wood slats. The model numbers are printed inside the headboard at the bottom.
Sold at: Juvenile specialty stores nationwide from May 2000 through September 2001 for about $700 for the Molly model and $650 for the Betsy model. The cribs have not been available at retail since 2001. This re-issuance is voluntarily being undertaken to both alert consumers who may still have these cribs in their possession and to especially alert thrift stores and other similar second hand stores that these cribs should not be given away, sold or continued to be used.
Manufactured in: Italy
Remedy: Consumers should stop using these cribs immediately and contact LaJobi to receive replacement end panels which eliminates the hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.

Energy Secretary Nominee Dodges Question On Gas Exports
By editor • Apr 9, 2013

A U.S. Senate committee held a confirmation hearing for Ernest Moniz on Tuesday, who has been nominated to be the U.S. Energy Secretary. Moniz says he will retire from MIT, where he's a professor of physics and energy systems. He would advocate for the Obama administration's "all of the above" energy strategy, which calls for continued fossil fuels development and supports nuclear energy, wind and solar.

I've always been fascinated by borders. The first one I ever crossed was between my home state of Maine and Canada, when I drove to Quebec to dust off my high school French and to camp outside one of the oldest European-settled cities in the Americas. In college, I swapped my French for Spanish and spent a semester in Chile where one of my most vivid memories was an epic bus ride from the capital of Santiago that puffed up a long series of switchbacks to scale the Andes until it descended into Mendoza, Argentina on the other side. On the way back from my honeymoon in Bali several years ago, my new wife was somewhat taken aback when I seized on a routine stopover in Seoul to drive to the heavily fortified demilitarized zone (known as the DMZ) that separates North and South Korea just to peer across the border into one of the world's most isolated countries.
But nothing taught me more about the importance of borders -- and the power of international education to transcend them -- than the year I spent in Mexico as a Fulbright-Garcia Robles Fellow from 1998 to 1999. My mission was to learn how Mexican companies were seeking to take advantage of new trade opportunities with the United States. I was based in Monterrey, Mexico, a bustling industrial city in the northeast where I studied at the Monterrey Technological Institute, a first-rate university, and interned in the corporate finance department of Grupo Financiero Banorte, a major Mexican bank. Working side-by-side with Mexican colleagues to develop business opportunities along the border taught me the value of commerce in fueling economic integration. I like to think I played a small role in building what would later become Mexico's powerful new middle class.
While in Mexico, I eventually visited 27 of the country's 31 states, as well as the federal district that hosts Mexico City. And, of course, I crossed the churning U.S.-Mexico border many times, in addition to rural land crossings from Mexico to both Guatemala and Belize. In each instance, observing the patterns of movement of goods and people, and the economic and cultural interactions, was a keen lesson unto itself.
My Fulbright scholarship was an essential experience that gave me the diplomatic skills and analytic abilities to work across borders, whether they are political, cultural, or economic. Today, as a senior advisor on Western Hemisphere issues at the State Department, my work entails advancing U.S.-Latin American relations by modernizing our policy to embrace a more globally-minded hemisphere -- and one where mutual understanding and cooperation easily crosses the border.

Opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi burn a Freedom and Justice Party office Friday in Alexandria, Egypt.
A U.S. citizen killed on Friday in Alexandria, Egypt, site of anti-government protests, was identified as Andrew Pochter, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo told NBC News on Saturday.
Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, said the 21-year-old student was from Chevy Chase, Md.
In a statement, the school said Pochter was an intern at AMIDEAST, a nonprofit group not affiliated with Kenyon that is engaged in international education, training and development.
"We are providing appropriate consular assistance from our Embassy in Cairo and our Bureau of Consular Affairs at the State Department," a State Department said.
Al Jazeera and Reuters, both quoting doctors and Egyptian security officials, and the Egyptian state news agency MENA reported Friday that Pochter died from a stab wound to the chest in Alexandria.
Gen. Amin Ezzeddin, a senior security official in Alexandria, told Reuters that the American was using a mobile phone camera near an office of President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood as it was being attacked by protesters. He died at a military hospital, Ezzeddin said.
At least 80 other people have been wounded in the Alexandria protests, MENA reported.
The protests are part of the buildup to nationwide "June 30" demonstrations marking a year since Morsi's election. Morsis opponents hope to force early presidential elections, citing a range of social and economic issues.
Morsi's supporters have promised that they will also take to the streets to defend the Muslim Brotherhood-backed government.
"There are no services. We can't find diesel or gasoline," Mohamed Abdel Latif, an accountant, told Reuters. "We elected Morsi, but this is enough."
Charlene Gubash of NBC News contributed to this report from Cairo, Egypt.
- Egyptian clerics warn of 'civil war' ahead of mass protests
- Morsi: Political division threatens Egypt's democracy
- Egypt's Islamists rally to show Morsi support — and warn opponents
- Egypt's Coptic Christians say they are 'no longer safe'

I am a SAHM so I rarely leave DS. I own my own business of training horses, lessons and I sometimes judge horse shows. I have an ALL DAY horse show to judge tomorrow from 10 am until ? pm. Horses are my passion in life, and I am very excited about the show. This will be the first thing I have done since DS was born a YEAR ago.
DS will be with DH and his grandma here at home all day. From all the books I have read, DS is best decribed by Dr Sears as "High Needs". He has a BAD case of Mama's Boy.
I am very sad about leaving him and it is taking away my excitment for the show. I am worried he will fuss all day, like he does sometimes when I do leave him. I feel guilty for enjoying my horses.
I can't back out of the horse show b/c I am getting paid. Please help

This morning I drew the king of cups as the daily card. I should have know that on a rainy morning like this the cups would come to visit. The cups always suit me though, I find their energy very relatable.
Looking at this card I see a man on a beach, on a starry night, concentrating, eyes filled with wonder. I believe he is contemplating ideas, watching the seed of creation unfold. In his cup are all the possibilities that live in his imagination.
The magical part about the king is that he rules his kingdom, meaning that anything within his creative self, anything he can dream up, will have the potential for success. If he dedicates and applies himself he will be able to do anything…he has the potential for success in every sense of the word.
How fitting for me to draw this card. I have felt like I need to dedicate myself to what I love and follow my dreams…regardless. To draw this card is a sign for me to trust that feeling. I know that I am meant to be doing something amazing and so I shall pursue that. I know that my visions and dreams are divinely guided…as are yours. Let's trust them.
Today marks the start of my last week here in London. I am sad, but I am also ready for home. I feel like things will be amazing when I return home and I am ready for the adventure. I think I will look at home with open eyes…I know there is more to see there than what I ever realized. So I'm ready to rock and roll!
I am on my way for coffee with one of my great London friends. I get to visit with him one last time before I leave. He is leaving for Italy this afternoon…so this is our last chance. So glad i met him. I am thankful for the wonderful people here.
I don't know when I will be back in London again, but it will be soon. London has become a part of me. I don't know how or why I'll be back, but it will happen! When I want something I make it happen😉
All the best,

Zambrano recently attended Texas Municipal League financial officer training and requested to be appointed as the city's financial officer. He said the appointment of an officer is necessary to prevent the city from falling into economic hardship and noted that Gregory was bankrupt in 2012.
"We need to adopt strategies and policies for our city," Zambrano said.
Zambrano said he will schedule a class which will review ways to implement subdivision ordinances and discuss ways to attract housing to Gregory. He said one concern he has regarding Gregory's ability to attract housing stems from water infrastructure, specifically in conjunction with Tianjin Pipe Company's (TCPO) use of the resource.
"What attracts housing is infrastructure," Zambrano said. "Every time TCPO opens their water valve, we lose pressure."
The TCPO facility is under construction and will produce seamless steel pipe.
Zambrano said the city's upcoming process to create a budget will be more complicated this year than it was in the past.
"Each city department will have to submit a budget," he said. "A budget is not done overnight. We have to have a series of workshops."
Mayor Freddy Garcia said the Council will schedule budget meetings for late July or early August.
In other business, the Council discussed the possibility of appointing Robert Daehn as the city's official building inspector.
"I met him and talked to him," Zambrano said. "He is very knowledgeable."
Mike Henry currently performs building inspecting services for the city, although the city does not have a contract with him.
Garcia instructed city staff to compare the cost of Daehn's services to Henry's, which the Council will discuss at a later date.
Alderwoman Kristina Zambrano said a proposed meeting that city staff will partner with the San Patricio Economic Development Corp. to host will need to be rescheduled for September. The meeting was originally scheduled to be held July 14, but Gregory-Portland ISD Superintendent Paul Clore requested a later date, during which Stephen F. Austin Elementary School will be available to host the meeting. The Economic Development Corp. has requested meetings with several local communities to establish economic initiatives and discuss the possibility of constructing a Del Mar training center within San Patricio County.
Kristina said Economic Development Corp. staff have identified Sept. 9 and Sept. 23 as possible dates to hold the Gregory meeting.

About the Author: Rebecca Gustafson serves as USAID/OFDA Press Officer with the New Zealand Earthquake response DART.
I started getting calls about the terrible earthquake in Christchurch almost immediately after it happened. It was clear that the devastation was great. My heart went out to those who lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods, and I couldn't help but wonder if USAID would send a team to help those searching for survivors.
The office I work for at USAID is one most Americans have not heard of. With a staff of 250 people based around the world, USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) is smaller than many of the bands of the U.S. Military, but with an important mandate, to save lives and alleviate suffering. We are charged with leading the U.S. government's response to international disasters, maybe 70 or so natural disasters and complex emergencies each year, on behalf of the American people.
So when information on the quake in Christchurch began to filter in, we immediately started discussing possible international assistance and what we could provide if needed. USAID has agreements with two of the most skilled Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams in the world -- Fairfax County Virginia Fire and Rescue Department and Los Angeles County Fire Department -- who are always ready to deploy in the aftermath of an earthquake or other catastrophic disaster. We reviewed the options through the night and stood ready to respond should it be needed.
Knowing there is significant search and rescue capacity in the region that is best placed to assist in Christchurch, I went to work Tuesday morning thinking it would be another busy day in the office. It is a good thing I am always packed and ready to deploy because I and five of my OFDA colleagues were headed to Christchurch just after noon.
We are meeting up with the Los Angeles County Urban Search and Rescue team and then heading directly into Christchurch. Once on the ground, we will immediately go into rescue mode. Our USAR team will join forces with the USAR personnel from New Zealand and other international teams they train with all year to assure that every place a survivor might be found is thoroughly searched.
Our USAR team will have more than 70 highly trained technical experts and a cargo aircraft full of equipment to aid in making rescues in collapsed buildings and structures. Most of the team members were part of the international effort that rescued more than 130 people from the rubble in Haiti, and we hope to save some lives in Christchurch.
So when you see the awful pictures coming out of New Zealand, and you wish you could do something to help -- know that you already are. USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance is fully funded by the American taxpayer, and we are going to do our best to make a difference in Christchurch and wherever else our help is needed.
If you want to further assist those in Christchurch, please make a cash donation to a reputable organization working in the disaster zone.
To get up to the minute updates on the US search and rescue efforts in Christchurch, follow me on Twitter @DARTgirl and @USAID.

Rebecca in New Zealand writes:
Thank you! I was in Christchurch on Tuesday, and as an American, I was quickly whisked away, but the support of the Embassy and all the Americans who have come to help this small country makes me proud and happy. Thank you for all you are doing.
Jess in New Zealand writes:
As an Aucklander I have been physically unaffected by the earthquake in Christchurch, but we are a small country and it is impossible for anyone in New Zealand to not be emotionally affected.
I, and I am certain everyone in the country, have been deeply touched by the support from around the world. Thank you all - the US Government, the American people, and most especially the members of the USAID/USAR team taking time away from their families and risking their safety to help. It is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks guys and good luck. donations can be made to redcross.org.nz
Jens in New Zealand writes:
As an American who was in Christchurch during the earthquake, I am proud to see my country offer its assistance to New Zealand during this enormous tragedy. New Zealand so often provides its own citizens and resources to the international community during crises overseas. The whole world stands with Christchurch.
Mike in New Zealand writes:
As a citizen of Christchurch, I would just like to say a big thank you to you all, for coming over away from your family and friends to help us. I hope that you come back one day (for free) when this is all over and see the real beauty that this city has to offer, instead of this mess.
Thank you and god bless you all.
Ruth in New Zealand writes:
I hope that you know your being here is appreciated. It means a lot to see the support we are receiving internationally.

Amy in New Zealand writes:
I am also an American who was in Christchurch on the 22nd of February and made my way to the Antartic Center. I can not tell you how impressed I was with the Embassy staff who looked after us. Amazing folks who do their job well. USA should be proud to have them working for us.
Rev in New York writes:
To all those in the USAR Team from American,who went to NZ and gave their precious time-effort and much appreciated support to the people of Christchurch....Let me take this moment and on behalf of every Kiwi-both here in the USA, across the world & NZ to extend to each & everyone of you ses a very big warm appreciative Thank You (Kia Kaha)......Always will be remember Thank you Guys

I just got back from the pedi., and she wants me to start with rice cereal for my 4 month old. My daughter has just turned 4months, but is pretty small (11lbs, 2oz). She has been exclusively breast feed, and I wasn't planning on solids until 6 months. She is very healthy otherwise-- i.e. great head control, alert, reaching, laughing, talking, etc. She doesn't have those signs that she wants to start with solid foods, but I am concerned with her weight. I don't produce a large amount of milk. I really have been just able to keep up with her, even with pumping. This is my first, and I am just not sure if I should take the pedi advise and start with the solids, or if I should wait another month or so, and see if my daughter starts showing signs of wanting to eat food. I am scared that she will start to become malnourished. HELP! I need some advice!! :)

This was a snowy night on Monday evening on December the 28th. It was a pretty snow so I opened my back door to see if I could get a good picture and I was surprised that it turned out as good as it did.

Breastfeeding and Weight
By Health Day
But now, a brand new report suggests breastfeeding may not help in one important area the battle against obesity.
The study included nearly 14-thousand infants...born at 31 different hospitals...who were followed for more than a decade.
At an average age of 11-and-a-half, the children who had been exclusively breastfed for a minimum of the first three months of life did not see a measurable benefit in the weight department.
There was no significant difference in the percentage of overweight or obese kids when comparing the breastfed group with a control group.
But the researchers are quick to point out that breastfeeding still had many other benefits, including fewer gastrointestinal infections and less atopic eczema in infancy. Improved cognitive development at age 6.5 years was also found in the study participants.
The take home? Breast feeding provides a fantastic start...but does not appear to offer long lasting effects that will ward off obesity.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the health news that matters to you and your family.

Large majority in favour of deploying Patriot defence systems
On 14 December, a large majority in the German Bundestag voted to deploy Bundeswehr Patriot air defence batteries to Turkey. The purpose is to protect Turkey, a partner within NATO , from potential Syrian attack. Turkey is more immediately affected by the violence in Syria than any other country.

A total of 461 Members of the Bundestag voted to adopt the Government's motion for a deployment mandate. There were 86 votes against and eight abstentions. Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle was glad to see the Bundestag express such strong backing. Germany will deploy up to 400 soldiers to help boost NATO's integrated air defence on the Turkish-Syrian border. The deployment is planned to comprise two Patriot missile defence batteries from Germany, with the mandate running until 31 January 2014. The United States and the Netherlands also intend to station a number of Patriot batteries in Turkey.
Defensive deployment
Minister Westerwelle reiterated that this deployment was "purely defensive". For Germany, he declared, it went without saying that we would help Turkey, our NATO partner, to defend itself against an external threat. It has been made very clear that the remit does not include establishing or monitoring a no fly zone over Syrian territory. Minister Westerwelle emphasized the importance of being prepared for "eventualities on the border" especially since the Assad regime was crumbling.
The German soldiers sent to Turkey will be serving under NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and the NATO chain of command. Where they are to be stationed will be decided in close liaison with the participating states and Turkey. The mandate also covers the deployment of German soldiers who will undertake reconnaissance and surveillance duties on board AWACS aircraft.
The NATO Foreign Ministers gave the go-ahead for the deployment of Patriot defence systems in Turkey, as that country had requested, at their meeting on 4 and 5 December. The objective is "to defend the population and territory of Turkey and contribute to the de escalation of the crisis along the Alliance's border", to quote the Foreign Ministers' statement. The United States, the Netherlands and Germany are the only NATO countries to have the most advanced version of the Patriot missile defence system.

February 20, 2013 —
A property owner near Hawley has withdrawn plans for a proposed dog sledding and snowmobile plan that neighbors had expressed concerns about. The Lackawaxen board of supervisors held a conditional use hearing about the project on January 22, during which several members spoke about negative impacts from noise.
On February 15, the property owner, Michael Mancino, who with his wife Allison owns the Vanderbeek Farm, sent a letter to the supervisors apologizing for any inconvenience they had caused and also withdrew the application.
He wrote, "Frankly, I didn't consider all the matters that you justifiably raised, nor did I expect the reaction from my neighbors, whose concerns were so eloquently expressed. Rather, I was looking at this as another community activity that would be enthusiastically embraced by visitors to the area as well as my neighbors, in a safe and secure setting. I believe my zeal clouded some of the other factors that you as supervisors have to consider, and rightly so. Needless to say, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to present my idea and I appreciate your thoughtful response."

Get on board. It's the Department of Education's answer to a runaway bus system that, for year, was costing taxpayers dearly and forced cuts in service.
Now, after success with a pilot project on the Big Island, school officials are giving it a try with some 30 schools in the Pearl City and Waipahu areas.
But, in order to get the bus rolling, families need to get their children registered before school starts on Monday.
"Make sure your children are registered," said DOE Facilities Deputy Superintendent Ray L'Heureux. "As you can imagine, with this many moving parts, it needs the right data and that data in this instance takes the form of children registering for the bus. If they don't, then we really don't know what capacity we need."
L'Heureux estimates that about 3,500 students will be affected by the new system.
At Aiea Elementary School, the principal was preparing for a meet-and-greet with families in an effort to boost registration.
"This year, it is lower than last year," said Principal Kate O'Malley. "We are not sure why we are working with the bus company."
The new system will allow the DOE to track actual use of the school buses. The test project on the Big Island allowed school officials to work out the bugs on new GPS equipment.
It was exactly a year ago that the DOE cut 100 school bus routes because of runaway costs.
Families were forced to find alternate ways to get their children to school. And the city did what it could to add extra buses to ease overcrowding since families had little notice.
The DOE also changed criteria for who was eligible for bus service. O'Malley worries for her sixth-graders, who face what she believes is one of the most dangerous walks to school.
"They have to walk around the stadium next to 6-to-8-lanes of highway so if I were a parent I would be nervous," said O'Malley.
O'Malley hopes the system can be tweaked for safety's sake. School officials are crossing their fingers that this new school year will get off to a better start.
Once this pilot gets underway, the DOE expects to expand it islandwide and then statewide.

I used this many years ago, until it was taken off the market...when that happened I went online and bought any I could find !! Some came to me with Japanese, German and Italian... When it was gone, I cried.... I'm so very happy I can get it again....I get the most compliments from people who want to know what fragrance I'm wearing... Will definitely be buying more....
Written by Claudine on May 20, 2014
The first time I ever wore Maroc was in the late 80's when I worked at the mall in a nice department store. It's the only perfume I ever wore and loved. I've been looking for years and just the other day I decided to visit FraganceNet and when I saw that they were selling it after all these years, I ordered one immediately! I am so happy I took the chance because it's worth every penny. Even my son thought I smelled nice and that means so much coming from him. lol
Written by peg on February 10, 2014
I also wore this fragrance back in the 80's and the men flocked to my side and i have been looking forever and just happened upon your site and was so excited that i ordered it right away and i will continue to come to this site for my MAROC...Thank you so much ..
Written by sable48 on July 18, 2013

A holistic perspective sees health as a dynamic state of balance with considerable resilience in the overall system. A healthy person can withstand a certain amount of stress and bounce back. This is because the human body's ability to heal includes various self-regulating mechanisms that maintain overall balance, which is known as homeostasis.
However, after experiencing sudden, intense stress [3] or moderate stress that is constant over a period of time, the body's ability to regulate itself becomes compromised and health declines, slowly or not so slowly. Stress causes the body to lose its ability to rebalance, to restore homeostasis.
Unless they are addressed, the stresses of everyday life - environmental [4], emotional [5], physical, financial [6], social etc. - can combine with an individual's genetic predispositions and result in declining health and wellbeing.
At the simplest, most obvious level, it appears that Reiki [7] treatment helps lessen the impact of stress, releasing tension from the entire system. Not only does the person move toward his or her own unique balance in body, mind and spirit, but also, depending on the level of physical health when Reiki begins, the body's own healing mechanisms often begin functioning more effectively.
How exactly does Reiki release tension and help the body heal? That question has yet to be answered. Although there is increasing research evidence documenting the effects of Reiki (such as lowered heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones; increased immune strength), we have only broad theories as to what causes these effects or the pathways through which the healing occurs.
The multileveled, rapid response to Reiki suggests a complex process that engages many body systems, simultaneously or in quick succession, shifting the body from domination by the "fight or flight" (stress) response to the relaxation response, and supporting the body's own healing mechanisms. (For more information about the relaxation response, see the Mind-Body Therapies [8] section.) Some researchers theorize that Reiki's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing effect is triggered on a subphysical level, perhaps in what science refers to as the biofield.
The biofield is the term medical science has adopted for the intricately layered vibrational energy field that is said to surround and penetrate the physical body. The biofield is extremely subtle and there is as yet no conventional scientific technology that can document its existence or otherwise study it directly. However, for thousands of years, traditional, indigenous, prescientific medical systems have recognized a balanced, evenly pulsing biofield as the foundation of health and wellbeing, and seen any disruption of this balance as the beginning of illness.
The healing traditions of indigenous cultures around the world use vibration to restore balance through ceremonial drumming, through instruments such as the didgeridoo and the tamboura, and through chanting, overtoning, and humming. Moreover, the therapeutic value of vibration in the forms of sound and music is increasingly supported by science. Perhaps Reiki's benefits occur through the same vibrational mechanism, a process which likely involves increasing coherence and decreasing dissonance in the system.
One theory is that the Reiki practitioner's hands carry the energetic vibrations of the recipient's wellness. The effect of Reiki could be seen as a shift in attention in which the recipient becomes aware of the wellness that exists deep within his or her being regardless the current level of health. Reiki could then be understood as entraining the recipient back to health in a process similar to the way grandfather clocks in the same room self-adjust to the rhythm of the dominant clock, or in the way we relax when in the presence of someone who is deeply peaceful. Reiki seems to connect the practitioner with an inner source of peace no matter how he or she feels in the moment.
Many therapies aim to restore balance in the biofield-acupuncture [9], qigong [10], shiatsu [11], and yoga [12]/pranayama to name a few. Reiki appears to be the subtlest of these therapies, balancing the recipient through subtle Reiki vibrations rather than through manipulation or even the gentlest force. It is also possible that Reiki, which some practitioners consider more akin to meditation [13] than to energy therapies, does not originate in the biofield, but rather arises from an even subtler source: what physicists have termed the unified field.

Very good limerick, Tromboniator. I'm going to continue it:
"I personally", said the Jester
(Who she loved, and would shamelessly pester),
"Think your dress a disgrace",
But she purred: "Let's embrace".
He answered "Don't make me laugh, Esther!"

This spirit of innovation has allowed us to develop and market patented and industry-leading products for screen cleaning (ScreenDr®), tangle-free earbud/headphone storage (The Nest™), laser lens cleaning (CleanDr® featuring Zero Clearance™ Technology), radiation-shielded laptop desks (LapGuard™), and optical disc repair (SkipDr®). We market these products through some of the largest retailers in the U.S. and have sold almost ten million units of our original product, SkipDr, making it arguably the most successful CE accessory in history…at least until it's surpassed by ScreenDr, The Nest, or something else we'll surely invent as new CE technologies, and their attendant problems, continue to emerge.
