|Images of Ungoliant
Ungoliant was an evil spirit in a form that greatly resembled a massive spider who dwelt in Avathar prior to the First Age.
Ungoliant's origins are shrouded in mystery. It is thought that she may have been one of the Maiar, or a lesser spirit, whom Melkor corrupted long ago, but she is not listed among the Ainur. It is also said that she came from the darkness above the skies of Arda, leading some to believe that she may be an incarnation of darkness or emptiness itself.[source?] What is known is that during the Age of the Trees she had disowned Melkor and lived independently in Avathar.
After Melkor sowed discord among the Noldor and fled Valinor, he sought Ungoliant's aid in his attack on the Two Trees of Valinor. She helped Melkor infiltrate Valinor by shrouding both herself and her ally in webs of pure darkness. Once within Valinor, Ungoliant drank the light from the Two Trees after Morgoth wounded them with his spear. She also drained dry the Wells of Varda so that nothing remained of the Light of the Two Lamps save that of the Silmarils of Fëanor. After this terrible act, Ungoliant and Melkor fled to Middle-earth to escape justice at the hands of the Valar.
In order to gain Ungoliant's assistance, Melkor had promised to reward her, "Yea, with both hands", and after their flight from Valinor, the Dark Lord indeed gave her many gems of the Ñoldor. However, he withheld the Silmarils in his right hand, having desired them too greatly to allow the Great Spider to devour them. In response, an enraged Ungoliant attacked Melkor as punishment for his perceived betrayal. Having grown far larger and stronger than before by absorbing the light of the Two Trees, the Gloomweaver would have killed Melkor had not the Balrogs come and saved their master.
Overcome by the Balrogs' fiery whips, Ungoliant fled to the Ered Gorgoroth in Beleriand. There, she had many offspring, including Shelob, which spread throughout the Ered Gorgoroth and gave it a reputation as a place of horror. Ungoliant herself eventually disappeared from history, but her final fate is not precisely known; it is said that she went into the forgotten south of the world shortly before the First Age, and some have said that she eventually let her ever growing hunger overcome her and devoured herself at last. [1] In contrast, a rough sketch of Eärendil's voyages by Tolkien suggests that he slew Ungoliant in the south.
The name is pronounced [uŋˈɡoljant]. In the form Ungoliant the name is technically Sindarin, but is a direct loan from Quenya Ungweliantë (ungwë + liantë: "dark spider"; pron. [uŋʷˌɡʷeliˈante]); the strictly Sindarin form being Delduthling "dark terror spider."
She is also called "gloomweaver," Virilomë [ˌviriˈlome]) (Wirilomë in Vanyarin) which becomes Gwerlum ([ɡʷerlum]) in Sindarin.
Other version of the legendarium
In The Book of Lost Tales, Ungoliant's history is even more mysterious then what is implied in the published edition of The Silmarillion. Here, even the Valar did not know of her origins, and she was portrayed as a primeval spirit of night, and believed to be a creature bred of the darkness of the Void.
Also, Melkor and his companions encounter Ungoliant in her lair (here, known as Arvalin) by coincidence while fleeing from the Valar.
Melkor and Ungoliant are shown to be on much friendlier terms with each other than what is shown in later version of The Silmarillion, as Melkor willingly offers the jewels that were stolen from the Elves, apart from the Silmarils (the Theft of the Silmarils ocurring before the Darkening of Valinor, in this version).
After the Darkening of Valinor, instead of fleeing with Melkor, Ungoliant immediately flees southwards towards her lair, and successfully eludes the Valar.
In adaptations
2012: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey:
- While discussing the darkness that has fallen over Mirkwood, Radagast describes the spiders there as "[s]ome kind of spawn of Ungoliant".

The beauty of early spring is fleeting. New blooms won't wait for you to finish up that project in the office, so drop what you're doing and head south of San Jose, where wildflowers brighten the fields en route to Pinnacles National Park.
The region, including the 24,000-acre park itself, is one of the best spots in central California to see the season's color. And the wide-open landscape looks much as it must have in the state's early ranching days.
Pinnacles is a showstopper with lupine and poppy meadows, towering spires of volcanic rock, miles and miles of hiking trails, and lots of wildlife, including healthy bat and raptor populations.
But that's only part of the fun. The journey has its own rewards, with a winding, scenic drive; side trips for hiking, picnicking, and wine tasting; and a final stop in San Juan Bautista to see the historic mission. Here's your mile-by-mile guide to a leisurely, daylong celebration of spring.
Heading south on State 25: quiet open spaces
Hit your odometer's trip meter 40 miles south of San Jose at the intersection of U.S. 101 and State 25. Heading southeast on State 25, known locally as Airline Highway, you'll pass not-yet-ready berry stands (for berries, come back in July) and apricot orchards full of fluffy white blooms.
Mile 11: Cruise through downtown Hollister, the farming and ranching community with the shaky (earthquake-wise) past.
Mile 13.4: Jog left on Nash Road to follow State 25, and make a quick visit to Bertuccio's Produce Stand for dried apricots, pistachios, and other trail snacks. If you haven't packed a picnic from home, stock up here and at the Veranda Cafe & Bakery a few miles ahead in Tres Piños.
Mile 19.9: It's the perfect marriage of urbane cuisine and small-town charm at the two-year-old Veranda. Grab a frothy latte and bagel to munch on the porch, where you can watch the sleepy goings-on in the tiny town of Tres Piños.
Mile 21.3: Pass by the small San Benito County Historical Park. There are places to picnic here, but prettier spots lie ahead. Just down the highway, you'll find swaths of lavender lupine, set off by luminous green fields ― now, this is California spring.
Mile 26.5: Get your first view of orderly rows of vineyards as the road starts to climb. The county's viticultural areas ― Cienega Valley, Limekiln Valley, and Mount Harlan, among others ― grow grapes in cool weather; Mount Harlan does so in distinctive limestone soil. (You'll sample the results of these influences a bit later in the day.)
Mile 27: Look north for vivid yellow wild mustard brightening the meadows.
Mile 33.9: Cross the San Benito River; here the gnarled oak branches are full of soft green new growth.
Next: The rocky towers

After the "final" release of of GENESIS 2.3 in March 2006, development efforts shifted towards GENESIS 3 (G-3), a 21st century neural simulator without the limitations of GENESIS 2 and other simulators that were developed in the late 1980's and 90's. At this point, G-3 is still in the development stage.
The main home page for the GENESIS simulator is at http://genesis-sim.org. It is devoted primarily to G-3 and serves as the repository for downloads and updates of the G-3 Developers Release. It also supports the GENESIS Documentation System, and has many resources for users of GENESIS 2. Be sure to click on the tabs for Documentation, Models, Libraries, and Education for recent GENESIS 2 documentation and user contributed materials.
The new web site has improved forums (replacing those on the Sourceforge site) that allow users to attach files to postings. It also provides the ability for GENESIS users to add new content such as simulations, documentation, and tutorials. The Sourceforge genesis-sim-users mailing list is the best means of obtaining individualized help with GENESIS 2 or 3. You may subscribe at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/genesis-sim-users.
This page at http://genesis-sim.org/GENESIS contains links to older GENESIS 2 material, as well as some recently added material. Most of this is also accessible via links from the main genesis-sim.org page.
Although GENESIS 2 is user-suported, rather than being being actively developed, users continue to contribute new libraries, documentation, and simulation scripts. Questions posted to the genesis-sim-users mailing list usually receive a prompt response. GENESIS 2.3 continues to be widely used used for large network models consisting of multicompartmental neurons, and for projects in modeling courses, such as the recent Latin American School on Computational Neuroscience (LASCON V).
Although GENESIS 2.3 was intended to be a final release of the GENESIS 2 series, it has continued to evolve, with modifications needed to efficiently implement synaptic plasticity in large networks and many contributions from users. This has made it necessary for a new November 2014 GENESIS 2.4 release.
The GENESIS 2.4 release includes:
The revised "Ultimate GENESIS Tutorial Distribution" was used as course materials for the tutorial Constructing biologically realistic neuron and network models with GENESIS on July 26th at CNS 2014, presented by Hugo Cornelis.
You can download it as:
UGTD2-CNS.tar.gz or UGTD2-CNS.zip
More information about the "UGTD" is below.
Some recently added GENESIS 2 tutorials and simulations
Ultimate GENESIS Tutorial Distribution
This is a complete self-paced GENESIS modeling course, combined with GENESIS binary and source distributions and installation instructions. It provides an easy way to get everything by downloading a single package. The latest version may be browsed from this link.
VAnet2 - An efficient hsolved GENESIS version of the Vogels and Abbott (2005) model that was used in the Brette et al. (2007) review of network simulators. It serves as a tutorial on the use of hsolve with network models in order to achieve speedups by a factor of 10 to 20. The 'VAnet2-batch.g' script is intended to be extended for testing GENESIS spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) implementations with hsolve. This script would be a good starting point for models that use more realistic cells and connections.
ACnet2 - An auditory cortex model that also serves as a tutorial and template for creating neocortical network models.
fMRInet Is a variation of the ACnet2 model that illusrates how to provide unusual stimuli, such as the effects of the electromagnetic fields that are produced during an fMRI experiment. This is done by using a 'script_out' object to provide the stimulus at clocked intervals.
GENESIS 2.3 supercedes version 2.2.1, and has a number of changes in the simulator source code to allow use on a greater variety of platforms, including Intel and AMD 64 bit processors, MacIntosh with OS/X, and Microsoft Windows with the Cygwin environment. It includes Kinetikit Version 11, Version 2 of the Purkinje cell tutorial, some new objects and enhancements of existing ones, plus revised and updated documentation. For more details of the new features in GENESIS 2.3, see the section on Changes Introduced in GENESIS 2.3 in the GENESIS 2.3 Reference Manual.
PGENESIS 2.3 now has support for MPI as well as PVM. It should run on almost any parallel cluster, SMP, supercomputer, or network of workstations where MPI and/or PVM is supported, and on which serial GENESIS itself is runnable. There have been many updates to the documentation for this new version.
We expect that GENESIS 2.3 will be the last GENESIS 2 release, before we begin preliminary releases of GENESIS 3. Therefore we encourage all GENESIS users to upgrade to this (hopefully) final GENESIS 2 release. Please see the GENESIS Downloads section below.
This contains the CVS Repository for the latest GENESIS development versions, as well as public forums for reporting bugs or compiling problems, and for discussing issues related to GENESIS development.
We are developing a completely new version of GENESIS, to have a modular architecture with plugins and multiple interfaces. This will allow the use of multiple simulation engines such as MOOSE (http://moose.sourceforge.net/) or Neurospaces (http://www.neurospaces.org/). In addition to greater simulation speed, this will offer greatly improved capabilities of interfacing GENESIS 3 with external programs, other simulation environments, web-based applications, and visualization tools. Read about our plans for GENESIS 3 here.
Download the GENESIS and PGENESIS distributions
The final (March 2006) releases of GENESIS and PGENESIS version 2.3 are now available for download. In addition to the full GENESIS distribution with source code, precompiled binary versions for Linux and Windows with Cygwin are also available. The binary versions for Mac OS/X are now available to download from the the Sourceforge GENESIS development site http://sourceforge.net/projects/genesis-sim.
Use this link to browse the GENESIS archive and download the newest release of GENESIS, PGENESIS, and more. Be sure to read the README file for the GENESIS archive. This contains a description of new features in the latest versions of GENESIS and Parallel GENESIS (PGENESIS), and will allow you to determine which files to download.

What is BABEL?
How to join the GENESIS Users Group, BABEL
The existing BABEL web site (http://www.genesis-sim.org/BABEL) with its libraries of GENESIS simulations and other material is being incorporated into a new GENESIS site, which will be announced soon.
The updated collection of user-contributed material from BABEL, including the archive of GENESIS models, is available here.
New features on the way are:
GENESIS developmemt now involves contributions from many users and developers from outside the Bower laboratory. Therefore we have recently had a yearly GENESIS Users Meeting (GUM) to bring together GENESIS users and developers to discuss user needs and developer priorities. The 2005 meeting was held March 31 - April 2 in conjunction with the World Association of Modelers (WAM) First Annual Biologically Accurate Modeling Meeting (BAMM).
This meeting combined a day of tutorials on realistic neural modeling techniques followed by two days of scientific presentations. The meeting's overall objective is to promote communication and collaboration between users and others involved in realistic biological modeling and to provide an introduction to other interested scientists. Because of the enthusiastic response to this meeting, it was repeated again as WAM-BAMM*06, held March 22 - 25, 2006. In addition to tutorials and scientific presentations, the 2006 meeting included a workshop and open discussion on GENESIS 3 development issues. The next GUM will be held in 2008. Details will be announced on the GENESIS site and through the GENESIS users mailing list.
Bug Fixes
If you experience any trouble installing or running GENESIS, be sure to check the forums at the main site for GENESIS 2 development, http://sourceforge.net/projects/genesis-sim. The CVS repository at this site will be kept up-to-date with the most recent bug fixes. The Bug-fixes directory at the GENESIS ftp site, currently contains fixes for older versions of GENESIS. If there are significant fixes for GENESIS 2.3, they will also be added. The README file and the file compiling.problems describe any patches or changes that have been added, and provide hints on solving common compilation problems.

STAT is weak...You'd think that he's strong but smaller forwards is pushing him around. Maybe he is fools gold...
Haven't posted in a while so hope everyone is ok and had a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now that I got that outta the way, where's the game thread? Didn't check the schedule but this game is nationally televised bang up with Memphis on TNT(for those not in the NY area like me). Old friend Zack Randolph is out so we should be able to handle the Grizz. Knicks on a four-game winning streak and playing better defense to boot!!! Enjoy the game everybody!!!!
STAT is weak...You'd think that he's strong but smaller forwards is pushing him around. Maybe he is fools gold...
2 personal fouls withing 1.5 minutes, great job Amare!
edit: and Carmelo's hurt, great!
pls don't let anything happen to 'Melo..We NEED him..
Damn the Grizz are harassing Shumpert right now
doesnt look good for melo hes in serious pain
Holy **** Melo's injured I'm pacing around the house
What the f*** was taking dantoni so long to call a timeout??? The team looks lost and he just sits there. Sometimes you need to burn a quick timeout to get things on track.
Real Talk
and hes back
Damn I got scared for a sec, thank god it wasn't serious.
Melo is back in the game...looks like he still hurting, hopefully it's just pain.
Jorst can light it up from behind the arc..

"Growing up with my brother," Garcia laughed. "Everything was zombies with him."
Garcia headed the zombie workshop at the Coastal Bend College library Thursday, where she taught those in attendance a quick and easy fake blood recipe along with zombie makeup 101.
Garcia became interested in FX makeup early on when she and her older brother would take their family's camera, along with whatever else they had, and make zombie films.
"I just got used to doing the makeup for him," Garcia said. "So I started to like zombies, too.
"That was always my job. The filming, the editing and the makeup."
Though Garcia claims it's just a hobby, the ease of which she applies the liquid latex and cakes on the dulling layer of skin colors and the concentration on her face seems to tell a different story.
But in a world where Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero reign over the male-infused special FX makeup market in television shows like "The Walking Dead" and films like "Night of the Living Dead," she doesn't really seem to mind.
"Do I feel awkward?" Garcia questioned. "No. I just fit in with all the other guys. I always have. It's nothing new or different for me."
And having only taken art classes in school and helped out in theater productions, she's basically self-taught.
"YouTube is wonderous," Garcia laughed. "It's my best friend. You can find anything you need as long as you do the research."
Along with FX make-up, she has a bit of filmmaking in her blood as well.
"It's just stuff I do in my back yard," Garcia gushed. "They're mediocre, but to my family, they're great."
Garcia held the class as part of the Beeville Zombie Walk taking place July 21. For more information about the event, visit www.facebook.com/beevillezombiewalk.

Skip to comments.L.A. Times pulls columnist's blog over Web fake
Posted on 04/21/2006 6:32:11 PM PDT by Liberty1970
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Times has suspended the blog of a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist who posed as an Internet reader to defend his own column and attack his conservative foes.
The Times apparently learned of Michael Hiltzik's multiple identities from another blogger, Patrick Frey, who was slammed by the columnist under a pseudonym. Frey, author of a blog called Patterico's Pontifications (www.patterico.com), traced the writer back to Hiltzik's computer.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
And the Pulitzer Prize is a measure of....??
(Just like the Nobel Peace Prize is a measure of....?)
Yet another Pulitzer phony - ya gotta love it.
Which Freepers were his conservative foes?
But he still gets to keep his job. Typical.
TRANSLATION: "We're going to act concerned until you forget about this story, then we'll do nothing"
Katia Dumas STRIKES AGAIN!
Multiple personalities huh??
They are morphing into Cybill now ?? ... *L*
hey Sam ... here's another Pulitzer Prize winner for ya
Its hard to believe that a 'reporter' feels the need to blog anonymously. And then trashes people that he writes stories about. What scum.
Need to practice some gun control.
it's all in tha wrist, dawlin'
10-15 years ago Microsoft used to employ such tactics (employees posing as independent voices) to push the mindshare of its business products.
What a dipstick.
"See! People LIKE me!"
ha ha
"hey Sam ... here's another Pulitzer Prize winner for ya"
Being a fraud is clearly a prerequisite.
Jeeze, another lying liberal MSM phony gets caught lying and cheating. This is getting to be an every-day thing.
Er, uh...your pulitzer, maybe??
Great graphic - keep 'em coming!
It's more like, "LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Times has
suspended the blog covered up the evidence of a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist ..."
Is that a cock? Or is it a pullet? (sorry, I'm been naughty again!!)
You can't have a pullet if you don't have a cock.
There is song over this country about a farmer who brings his rooster and hen to the fair, but they run off, so he is running down the street after his poultry shouting at everyone: "Someboby please, please, catch my cock and pullet."

Hawaiian Airlines will begin offering nonstop flights between Honolulu and Brisbane, Australia, three times weekly starting November 27.
Hawaiian will become the only U.S. carrier to operate service to Brisbane.
Adding Brisbane service will increase Hawaiian's weekly flights between Honolulu and Australia to 10, with daily services already operating to Australia's largest city, Sydney.
President and CEO Mark Dunkerley said Brisbane would serve not only as the airline's second gateway to Australia, but also as an important new source of tourism to Hawaii.
"Australians love Hawaii as a holiday destination, and visitor numbers have grown steadily since Hawaiian inaugurated service on the Sydney-Honolulu route in 2004," Dunkerley said. "That service reawakened Australian awareness and interest in Hawaii, which had been under-served for over a decade."
Hawaiian's Brisbane service will add more than 40,000 seats annually between Australia and Hawaii, and will increase its total seat numbers from Australia by 38 percent.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority estimates that Hawaiian's Brisbane-Honolulu service will generate $83 million in visitor expenditures and $9 million in tax revenue annually for Hawaii.
Centrally located on Australia's East Coast, Brisbane is the capital city of the State of Queensland, home of the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, world heritage listed rainforests, iconic outback locations and the renowned leisure regions of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
Brisbane is also a key hub for onward travel throughout Australia, and Hawaiian's new flights will be timed to connect with same-day services throughout Queensland and to other states, through a partnership with Virgin Australia.
Ticket sales for the new service will start at a date to be announced.
Hawaiian Airlines HA 443 will department Honolulu at 10:20 a.m. every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, cross the international dateline and land in Brisbane at 4 p.m. the following day, in time for onward connections to destinations throughout Australia. Journey time is approximately nine hours.
The return service, flight HA 444, will depart Brisbane at 6:35 p.m. every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, cross the international dateline and arrive in Honolulu at 8:05 a.m. the same day, providing not only an early arrival into Honolulu, but the ability for passengers to connect with onward Hawaiian Airlines flights to Maui, Kauai and Hawaii Island.

Of course, if you're looking for carb-conscious Superbowl recipes, there are plenty of good ideas on the blog and even a round-up of 50+ Low-Carb and Gluten-Free Superbowl Appetizer Recipes, but since the entire east coast of the U.S. is snowed in, it seems like soup is a good menu choice for lots of people. There's not much snow right now at my house, but I know we'll have plenty more snowy days before spring, and when we do I have a few containers of this soup in my diet-friendly freezer!
I did change the recipe slightly for this update, using a whole package (19.5 oz.) of sweet turkey Italian sausage, which makes this a more carb-conscious recipe. Lentil are high in fiber too, so I think this soup would be a good choice for any type of Low-Carb eating plan with that change. And more sausage, mmm. I love all the flavors in this soup, hope you enjoy.
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
1 package (19.5 oz.) turkey or pork Italian Sausage (use turkey sausage for South Beach Diet)
2 tsp. olive oil (or more, depending on your pan)
1 onion, diced into small pieces
1 cup brown lentils
6 cups homemade chicken stock (or use 3 cans chicken broth plus a little water)
2 tsp. ground fennel (do not leave out)
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. rubbed sage (dried)
1 12 oz. jar roasted red pepper
South Beach/Low-Carb Suggestions:
With turkey Italian Sausage, this soup would be acceptable for any phase of the South Beach Diet. Lentils are considered a "good carb" for South Beach, but limit them to a small serving for phase one. With the generous amount of sausage in this soup, plus the high-fiber in lentils, this would also be a good choice for most other Low-Carb eating plans. You could use less lentils and more sausage if you wanted a soup that was even lower in carbs.

Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.
It's Easy to Love Soup with Lentils:

You know fitness is important for your health and well-being. And you want to get more active, but your days are a blur of work, household chores, errands, and time with family and friends. Setting aside enough time to sleep — let alone exercise — can be tough.
So how can you find time for fitness? The key is to be flexible and make fitness a way of life. And remember all physical activity — not just formal exercise programs — adds up to a healthier you.
Fitting in fitness at home
Time spent at home doesn't have to be couch potato time. To make fitness a priority at home:
- Wake up early. Get up 30 minutes earlier than you normally do and use the extra time to walk on your treadmill or take a brisk walk around the neighborhood.
- Make chores count. Mop the floor, scrub the bathtub or do other housework at a pace fast enough to get your heart pumping. Outdoor work counts, too. Mowing the lawn with a push mower is a great way to burn calories. Raking and hoeing strengthen your arms and back, and digging works your arms and legs.
- Be active while watching TV. Use hand weights, ride a stationary bike or do a stretching routine during your favorite shows. Get off the couch to change the channel or adjust the volume.
- Involve the whole family. Take group walks before or after dinner. Play catch. Ride your bikes. It's best to build up to about 30 minutes of continuous activity, but you can exercise in shorter bursts, too.
- Get your dog into the act. Take daily walks with Fido or Fluffy. If you don't have a dog, borrow one. An enthusiastic dog may give you the motivation you need to lace up your walking shoes.
Work out at work
To fit in more physical activity while you're on the job:
- Make the most of your commute. Walk or bike to work. If you ride the bus, get off a few blocks early and walk the rest of the way.
- Take the stairs whenever you can. If you have a meeting on another floor, get off the elevator a few floors early and use the stairs. Better yet, skip the elevator entirely.
- Take fitness breaks. Rather than hanging out in the lounge with coffee or a snack, take a short walk. Or invite colleagues to join you for a walking meeting.
- Start a walking group. The regular routine and the support of your co-workers may help you stick with the program.
- Put it on the calendar. Schedule physical activity as you would any other appointment during the day. Don't change your exercise plans for every interruption that comes along.
- Take it on the road. If you travel for work, plan ahead. Bring your jump-rope or choose a hotel that has fitness facilities. If you're stuck in an airport waiting for a plane, grab your bags and take a walk.
More tips for fitting in fitness
Here are a few more ways you can add more activity to your routine:
- Get more out of errands. When you go to the mall or grocery store, park toward the back of the lot and walk the extra distance. If you have a little extra time, walk inside for a lap or two before you start shopping. Keep a pair of walking shoes in your car so that you're ready when you find a few minutes for exercise.
- Get social. Make a date with a friend to hike in a local park, or take a family trip to the zoo. Try a dance club, hiking group or golf league. Encouragement from others can help you stay with a new activity.
- Team up. Sign up for a softball, soccer or volleyball team through your local parks and recreation department. Making a commitment to a team is a great motivator.
- Join the club. Sign up for a group exercise class at a nearby gym or fitness center. The cost may be an added incentive to stick with it.
There's no single best way to fit physical activity into your day. Your lifestyle, job and family responsibilities will point to the most convenient time and place for fitness. Do what works for you — and make daily physical activity a habit you keep.

Sparta high school students are being recognized nationally for their work in cleaning up the planet. The founders of Polar Bear International made a trip to the high school Monday.
They are the world's leading polar bear conservation group, and a leader in climate change. They say the students in Sparta have done a great job of creating a vision for a cleaner planet... and then motivating the community to follow. One example, working with Century Foods to help recycle as much as possible. "They took it out on their own to start changing to make sure that the town and it's future generations have clean air and clean water," says Polar Bear International Founder Robert Buchanan, "what a wonderful gift." "It means the world to have someone from such a large organization come down and speak to us about what we're doing and to be proud of it, it's an awesome thing," says Sparta H.S. junior Makenzie Schure.
Polar Bear international also gave an award to Century Foods. They say the company has 600 employees but an almost zero percent carbon foot print. Sparta High School also collects recyclables from Century Foods, the money earned goes towards helping save polar bears.

World court draws new Peru-Chile maritime borderap photo
Chilean nationalists show their displeasure at the recent world court ruling in Santiago, Chile on Monday.
LIMA, Peru The United Nations highest court set a maritime boundary between Chile and Peru on Monday, granting the latter a bigger piece of the Pacific Ocean but keeping rich coastal fishing grounds in Chilean hands.
Chiles president, Sebastian Pinera, expressed profound disagreement with the International Court of Justices ruling. He called it a lamentable loss.
Perus leader, Ollanta Humala, also addressing his nation on television, said he was satisfied that the court had, in his view, recognized Perus argument that no maritime treaty previously existed between the South American neighbors.
Less than 100 Chilean fishermen protested the ruling in the northern port of Arica and police dispersed them with water cannon after some hurled stones at a military barracks. Police announced four arrests.
No other disturbances were reported after a verdict whose anticipation had been an obsession for Perus news media but which is expected to have little effect on cordial ties between neighbors whose economic interdependence has grown.
The ruling announced in a European courtroom ends a decades-old dispute over nearly 38,000 square kilometers (14,670 square miles) of the worlds richest fishing grounds the areas annual catch has been estimated at US$200 million.
Peruvian historian Nelson Manrique called it an intelligent verdict that is not going to please anyone but its also not going to bring anyone to fits.
The case filed in 2008 by Perus then-President Alan Garcia was a matter of national pride for Peruvians, some of whom maintain rancor over a 19th-century conquest. Chiles three northernmost provinces were seized from Peru and Bolivia in the 1879-83 War of the Pacific.
Bolivia lost its coast in the conflict
Humala, a former army officer, said Monday is one of the days that will mark my life and I feel proud to have lived as a soldier and now as a politician. I feel prouder every day to be Peruvian.
The national anthem then played.
Peru had sought a sea border perpendicular to the countries coast, heading roughly southwest. Chile insisted the border extend parallel to the equator.
The court, whose rulings cannot be appealed, compromised by saying a border already existed parallel to the equator extending 80 nautical miles from the coast. From there, it drew a line southwest to where the countries 200-mile territorial waters end.
Patricia Majluf, a leading Peruvian fisheries scientist, said the area up to 80 miles (128 kilometers) that remains in Chilean hands is where the Chilean boats fish the most.
All the anchoveta is fished in that zone, she said. The species of anchovy is converted into fish meal for an insatiable global market that uses it in animal feed, fertilizer and fish oil pills.
After Peru, Chile is the worlds No. 2 exporter of fish meal. The two nations share the worlds richest fishing grounds the cold Humboldt current.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Grand Valley helps Stuff the Bus
Posted on September 12, 2013
More than a dozen boxes of school supplies donated by Grand Valley students, faculty and staff members were collected on Thursday, September 12 at the Eberhard Center as part of the Heart of West Michigan United Way (HWMUW) Stuff the Bus campaign.
The 14 boxes of donated supplies included the most-often needed school supplies, along with some personal supplies that students would need to get ready for school in the morning. All of the donations will be distributed to students in need at schools in Grand Rapids, Godwin Heights, Cedar Springs, and Godfrey Lee.
"The response from Grand Valley is a huge part of our effort to help 600 students who wouldn't normally have access to these supplies," said Misti Stanton, program manager for HWMUW Schools of Hope. "This will help stuff the bus, which in turn will help students and teachers in our community. We're always very thankful for Grand Valley's support."
This is the sixth year that Grand Valley has taken part in the Stuff the Bus program. Grand Valley's portion is organized by Linda Masselink, Michelle Holstege, and Jeff Mutch.
"This is a great turnout, and I'm very happy with it," Masselink said. "I'm happy for the students, and the teachers, and I'm very excited that we get to participate in this amazing program every year."

DocuClub in January!
Our January DocuClub will take place on Wednesday, January 27, 7 p.m., at the 92YTribeca, located at 200 Hudson Street (at Canal). You can take the E, 1, or 6 trains to Canal.
We will screen a rough cut of UP HEARTBREAK HILL by Erica Scharf. The documentary chronicles the lives of Thomas, Tamara and Gabby – three Native American teenagers in Navajo, New Mexico –as they navigate their senior year at a reservation high school. As graduation nears, they must decide whether to stay in their community– a place inextricably woven into the fiber of their being – or leave in pursuit of opportunities elsewhere. Largely isolated from mainstream America, they hesitate to separate from their families and traditions, rooted to home in equal parts by love, obligation and fear. Tribal elders urge members of the younger generation to leave, acquire an education or learn a trade, and return home with the skills to help their people. But, with an unemployment rate near 58% and a per capita income under $4,600, Navajo has few prospects. Thomas, Tamara and Gabby each bear amazing strength and promise, but all are products of their environment, and it is the same community that has set before them so many challenges that now asks them to become the leaders that will reshape the Navajo Nation. Their battles to shape their identities as both Native American and modern American lie at the heart of the film.
Director Erica Scharf has spent much of her career in documentary film and television. Most recently, she worked as an editor on Investigation Discovery's documentary television series, THE SHIFT. She has shot, produced and edited numerous episodes of THE FIRST 48 (A&E). She directed and edited MARNEE: A GARAGE SALE RETROSPECTIVE, which was the First Place Winner at Movie Making Madness 2005, and edited CIY (Best Short Film, 2007 Aspen Shortsfest). Other credits include SWAT (A&E), MIAMI INK (TLC), and LAST SEEN ALIVE (Discovery). In 2005, Scharf was the Assistant Editor on GOD GREW TIRED OF US (Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award, 2006 Sundance Film Festival). Scharf is a graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and has a B.F.A. in Film and Television.
Producer Christina D. King's body of work spans news, documentary, and film. After producing broadcast news in her home state of Oklahoma, King went on to associate produce the documentaries ELECTION DAY (PBS), BAD BLOOD, and human rights projects for the ACLU. Recently, she line-produced WE SHALL REMAIN: TECUMSEH's VISION directed by Chris Eyre and Ric Burns. King also field produced for Michael Moore's recent documentary, CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY. A Native American of Creek/Seminole/Sac & Fox descent, King has a B.A. in Film Studies and Mass Communication from the University of Tulsa.

His first feature film, SMOKE SIGNALS, won the Audience Award and Eyre received the Filmmaker's Trophy at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival.

A Cheyenne/Arapaho Native American, he earned his M.F.A. in Film and Television at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
Editor Cindy Lee has worked extensively in documentary and narrative film, television, and commercials. Her feature editing credits include NO END IN SIGHT (Academy Award nominee 2008, New York Film Critics Circle 2007 Best Documentary, Sundance Special Jury Prize 2006), HOTEL GRAMERCY PARK (Special Jury Mention, Tribeca Film Festival 2008) and MANHATTAN, KANSAS (SXSW Film Festival 2006). She holds a B.A. from Wellesley College and an M.A. from Lund University in Sweden.
Editor Isaac Wayton honed his editorial skills while cutting short form documentary films, as well as various television and web projects. His documentary short, CHILDREN IN THE FIELDS (2004), has been used by multiple foundations to raise awareness about the lax child labor laws among migrant workers in the United States. He has collaborated with music artists Keith Urban and Sir Paul McCartney to create unique featurettes for the artists' websites. His television credits include MYSTERY DIAGNOSES (Discovery Health), THE DETONATORS (Discovery), and IT TAKES A THIEF (Discovery). Wayton received his B.F.A. in Film and Video from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

...People come to the fest to walk main street and troll for celebs. I heard Ben Affleck was creating quite a crowd, and I passed Michael Chiklis today. The sidewalks are continuously blocked by flocks around someone 'famous'. I am so outa da loop that I am not recognizing many faces in these spontaneous crowds. I passed by one gaggle yesterday, and did not recognize the guy who was signing autographs. Then a young lady said she wanted to tell him how much she loved him on General Hospital. Main Street is always good for a chuckle.
At a panel yesterday on Media Marketing, a panelist referred to 'District 9' as an "independent film,†because it had a budget of $30 million. The crowd groaned. More proof that the 'indy film' label has become as ubiquitous as 'fat free'...

Independent Documentary Filmmaker Seeks Outreach and Marketing Intern
I am an award winning documentary filmmaker based in Brooklyn, New York who is just finishing a new experimental short documentary about remembering called FORGET ME NOTS.
I am seeking an intern who can help me research the markets I have targeted for the distribution of this film and to help me focus my audience outreach strategy. This person must be able to employ critical thinking skills, work independently and be familiar with Mac computers. Knowledge of Excel and/or FileMaker are a plus.
This is an opportunity to get hands on experience for a very small company (rather than answering phones at a big firm) and would be ideal for someone studying marketing/outreach and/or a documentary film student who wants to learn what grass roots distribution is all about.
To learn more about the film and my work please visit www.dempseyrice.com
To ask questions or to apply for the position please email a resume and cover letter stating your experience (as a student or professional), why you are interested in working for a small production company and what you bring to the table.
Thank you!

No. 1: Hanalei Bay - Kauai, Hawaii
Somewhat off the beaten tourist path on Oahu is the quieter island of Kauai, home to what some argue is the finest beach on Hawaii's long list of fine beaches.
Hanalei Bay beach on the island's north shore is a secluded two-mile crescent of undeveloped white sand sandwiched between sparkling blue water and green forested mountain. It's a favorite of locals for surfing, swimming and snorkeling.
"The sheer beauty of Hanalei Bay is breathtaking," Dr. Beach said. He ranked Hanalei Bay No. 1 in 2009 and has called it his favorite beach in Hawaii.
Of course, Hanalei Bay's claim to best beach in Hawaii is highly debatable. Dr. Beach himself has ranked these in previous years as the nation's best beach: Fleming Beach Park on Maui; Hanauma Bay; Kaanapali; Poipu Beach; Kaunaoa Beach; Wailea Beach and Kailua Beach Park.

A conversation with interior designer Sharon Carroll by Jane Bollinger
Sharon Carroll is an interior designer.
She helps create personal living spaces that reflect the kinds of lives her clients want to enjoy in their homes. The job involves more than constructing functional spaces that meet the homeowners' needs; Carroll also wants her clients fulfill their personal desires for finding fun activities and pleasurable pastimes to enjoy in their homes. Fun, enjoyment and pleasure are important words in Carroll's working vocabulary.
In the life of any homeowner, a construction or remodeling project, or a makeover (whether large or small), is a big decision, and throughout the process, Carroll not only is the project planner and coordinator, the one who oversees a team of subcontractors, she's also a listener and a hand-holder to her clients.
An interior designer is not the same as an interior decorator, who helps find and choose furniture and window treatments, make decisions about fabrics, colors and accessories. As Carroll explains the difference, "Designing is a systematic approach to a creative process. The end result interprets the occupants' taste in an attractive, functional space."
Many of Carroll's clients are what we locals call "second homers," but much of the advice she has to offer and the philosophy she advocates also offer a good foundation for "first homers," who are taking on similar projects.
Recently we asked Carroll to share some of her philosophy about designing a living space.
Q: What do you see as the goal when you take on a project for a client?
A: Obviously the primary goal is to get the project done right, and as close to on-time and on-budget as possible. But besides that, each person has a time of the year, or a season, or a couple of weeks or weekends when they can get away, when their work life or personal life is slower, less hectic. Quite often it ends up that part of my job is assisting that person to make plans for how to have fun, unwind, kick back and enjoy their personal time more fully in their home. Especially while the process is going on, I want them to let me worry about moving their project forward.
Q: What are some of the functions you help homeowners with?
A: Always in the planning phase, we sort out something they would really love to do, how they want to enjoy the fruits of their place. Amazingly, it's usually something quite simple and really very attainable. Maybe they picture themselves playing board games at the kitchen table with their kids, or sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner with the whole family, or sipping iced tea under the shade tree with a friend, or working in the herb garden, or sharing locally grown food and laughter with neighbors or friends, or working on that novel they've been writing, or just enjoying a glass of wine on the porch, or on a winter weekend enjoying an afternoon activity in the snow and then indulging in a hot toddy [to take off the chill], or even sitting at the computer working on a report that is due on Monday morning.
Q: Once the homeowner has identified this little scenario as you've just described, where do you go from there?
A: While moving the project forward, we keep that "little event" in mind and plan it to happen. These moments are the things that keep us going in our busy, hectic lives. I encourage my clients not to take these "little events" for granted. Too often a whole weekend or a whole month goes by, and we find we've gone from morning to night forgetting these things that nourish the spirit. Look around and appreciate your home, with all the challenges and time and money you have invested. The dividends are pleasure.
Q: What are the steps involved in a project of designing or redesigning a living space?
A: The most important part at the beginning is to plan the spaces to function easily, efficiently and enjoyably for how the homeowners live, and to set priorities, also to agree on a budget and get a monetary commitment in dollars. Setting a timeline is essential and working toward each milestone. And then there's the] ordering, and taking deliveries; by the way, there can be surprises. It's a process. You can't shortchange or shortcut the process.
Q: What does a designer bring to this project?
A: Each client, each project requires a blending of form and function. [A designer needs a] strong working knowledge and relationships with capable, honest tradespeople in the area to pull together a cohesive working team to accomplishment (for the short term and long term) not simply a house but a home.
A designer has to be able to interpret, plan and complete how the clients want the home to look and function. She needs a sense of style and balance and an understanding of the use of color, materials and textures, plus the ability to pull a cohesive working team of professionals together who will turn a house into a home, not only for the short term, but also for the long term.
Ideally, as the occupants and functions of the home change over the years, a designer will have a long-term relationship to assist in the future.
Q: How does one choose a designer?
A: Besides the obvious, look at their portfolio to see their finished work as to their capabilities. Talk with the designer who did your friend's home if you like it.
Ask what professional organizations they belong to and what organizations they have they been involved with as a volunteer or on a pro bono basis and for how long. What are their avocations and interests, their passions? These areas are what breathe life into the designer and, most importantly, your home.
As with any professional, choose someone you feel has the experience, depth of knowledge, skills and time in the profession to get the job done. Someone with whom you are comfortable working, in whom you have confidence in to see progress made, and someone who can create that spirit you look forward to upon arriving at your home.

From Dust ReviewBy Jake Gaskill - Posted Jul 28, 2011
It is hard to appreciate all of From Dust's successes without actually playing it yourself. There are some noticeable A.I. and control issues for sure, but the environmental-based design and vibrant presentation offer something so refreshing that, if you're open to it, you can't help but be swept up by it.
The Pros
- Refreshing and unique strategy experience
- Stunning elemental and environmental effects
- Physics-based design = tons of replayability
The Cons
- Villager AI not the brightest at times
- Framerate and texture issues
From Dust Review:
Part Lemmings, part Populous, part environmental simulator, From Dust, the new downloadable title from Another World creator Eric Chahi and his team at Ubisoft Montpellier, is about as unassuming as a game can get. After all, it's a game that, at least on the surface, is about picking up dirt and water and messing around with lava flows. But beyond these deceptively simple mechanics likes a game that drips with a perfectly realized sense of wonderment, isolation, and out-of-time-ness that truly sets it apart from the current and upcoming flock of 2011 games (Look out Journey!).
Be Kind To Your People
What's particularly striking about the tonal and thematic elements (rebirth, enlightenment, survival, mysticism, etc.) at play in From Dust is how perfectly they (assumedly) mirror what the creepily masked tribes people must surely be feeling as they struggle against the elements on their quest to reunite with the spiritual wisdom of their lost ancestors. As their world-shaping overlord, aka The Breath, it's up to you to ensure your people's survival by harnessing the elements and using the ever changing world as pallet on which to play out your geological puzzle solving.
The primary campaign plays out over a series of maps designed to take advantage of a number of different elemental factors, but each plays out according to the same overall structure: find totems, build villages, protect the villages long enough to open a portal to the next map, repeat. There are hidden memory runes scattered around the maps that serve as secondary objectives, shedding more light on the villager's culture, rituals, and beliefs. There are also knowledge stones that grant your villages permanent powers (protect from water and fire) that supplement their selectable powers (evaporate all the water on the map, ability to generate endless amounts of dirt for a limited amount of time, turn all water into frozen jelly etc.).
With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility
In order to set up villages and acquire these powers though, you have to give your worshipers a safe and stable path to them. Considering you'll be battling lava flows, tsunamis, wild fires, exploding trees, and torrential downpours, this is never a simple proposition. Thankfully, the game's primary mechanic lets you pick up a pulsating orb's worth of matter (water, lava, earth) as well as certain trees in order to shape the world and keep your villagers safe, or safe long enough to advance. Need to get your little guys to a distant island or across a raging river? Grab some lava and build a land bridge, but be careful you don't start a wildfire. Or find the source of the river and use some earth to divert the flow to another part of the map. It's up to you.
In later stages, you'll be tasked with spinning several plates at once, which can create some particularly hairy situations. For instance, one map has a volcano on one side and a periodically overflowing lake on the other, while another features incoming and outgoing tides on both ends. So not only do you have to carve out a walkable path for your dudes, but you must also make sure the villages have proper protections around them as well, and while that can seem almost impossible at times, because the game is simulation based, there's always a logical solution.
Still, there were plenty of times when the AI would map out a path that was unnecessarily perilous for my travelers, forcing me to rework my carefully thought out plans to accommodate their puny, human brains. This can be especially troublesome on later maps where it can force you to have to restart a map after 30 minutes or so of battling. The controls can also be a bit imprecise at times on account of having to use the thumbsticks to "paint" terrain, an issue that should be rectified on the PC version (coming out August 17)
It's Like Your Own Lost. Not Really.
What truly makes From Dust's world molding special are the liquid physics. The seas undulate and ripple with striking realism, and lava slowly crawls its way down mountainsides with the perfect amount of viscosity, and watching them interact on such a large scale and with such detail is spectacular. The final stage is especially draw dropping in scale as you are granted unlimited power over water, lava, earth, and plants in order to create a map entirely of your own design. There's nothing quite like causing a towering mountain to rise out of the ocean or watching as a volcano you've created under water slowly build itself into an island before your eyes. It's so much fun in fact that there really should be an option to just be able to play around in an endless sandbox like this one upon completion of the game.
Another upside to the simulation structure is that there are multiple ways to solve each scenario, so there's plenty of replayability too. You can power through the game in five to six hours if you really buckle down, but it could easily be double or triple that if you feel like creating Rube Goldberg-ian solutions to each map, or, like me, you just feel like staring at the gorgeous world laid out in front of you, occasional texture pop in and framerate stutters aside.
Once you've finished the campaign, there are also 30 one-off challenges that are more focused than the campaign maps, and range in difficulty from scenarios that take 10 seconds to beat to ones that take 10 minutes or so. There aren't any time limits, but you are timed, and there are leaderboards for those looking to prove their lava-wielding might to the world. It's certainly apparent in the campaign, but these challenges really drive home the complexity and skill behind the game's technological wizardry.
There's Something Special About Playing God
It is hard to appreciate all of From Dust's successes without actually playing it yourself. There are some noticeable A.I. and control issues for sure, but the environmental-based design and vibrant presentation offer something so refreshing that, if you're open to it, you can't help but be swept up by it.

Expert Q & A Answers About adapting to SCI
My partner's spinal chord injury makes me feel self-conscious...what are some ways we can bring equal pleasure into the bedroom?
I'm very attracted to a man with a spinal cord injury, but when we've tried to be intimate, I find that I'm very self-conscious because the focus is more on my pleasure than his. I'm used to there being an obvious sign of a man's arousal (erection) and I feel awkward being the only one who appears to be aroused.
My husband has a spinal chord injury and now won't even touch me. What can we do to fix our marriage?
My husband sustained a spinal cord injury just a year after we married. Since then, he's not interested in sex, and never touches me. In fact, even when I hug him, he pushes me away as soon as he can. I have begged him to go to marriage counseling with me to get help but he refuses. His refusal to even try to work on our problems has made me resentful and I have stopped trying. I live in one part of the house and he lives in the other and we don't spend time together at all without fighting. Part of me thinks "leave and get a life," and part of me still loves him and feels sorry for him, and wants our marriage to work. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Its fake...... nice one
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
hahaPatrick Ewing was to return to the court, continuing his illustrious career as a 10-minute a night backup to his pupil Yao Ming.
"I'm not making a comeback. I"m just here to help fill an injury hole," said Ewing... supposedly.
ClutchFans reported Thursday that Patrick Ewing was activated by the team, but instead it was the 8th straight year of an April Fools Gag done by the site
Every year a joke situation seems to present itself due to a situation with the team, and 'Ewing Activated' made sense. Jeff Van Gundy has been scooping up anything with New York ties and Kelvin Cato's injury has left the Rockets in need of some interior work.
I used the official Rockets site to backup the claim, renaming it to "ROOKETS.COM", and "photochopped" the press conference photo, adding background, shading, faded logos and microphones to a past Ewing photo.
It was funny to watch the reaction of some, both those who were fooled and those who weren't. This is the 8th straight year of an April Fools joke on the site, and it's expected/anticipated by the majority of the site's fans. As a result, trying to slide one by most is like trying to slow-pitch a cantaloupe past Mickey Mantle.

April FOOLS? That was a joke?

yea its fake. i was lookin on the hoston site and quoted it. a lil late, i no

3 Super-veggies for a Quick Beauty Boost!
Some of us switch up our lipstick shade more often than our diet. While we may go from nude to coral or berry to fuchsia in just a matter of weeks, when it comes to salad, we always stick with romaine.
But Susan Bowerman, a registered dietitian and assistant director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, says that when people get into eating ruts they risk more than boredom: They may also be depriving themselves of essential nutrients that can boost both health and beauty.
Every fruit and vegetable contains slightly different phytonutrients. To get the full balance, you should be eating a wide variety of different colors every day. If you haven't been doing this, here are three new "shades" of food to try now:
1. Blood oranges. The deep red flesh of the citrus fruit most loved by vampires comes from anthocyanin. This hard-working antioxidant not only helps protect your heart and eyes, it also has anti-inflammatory and collagen-building properties that keep your skin looking its best.
2. Seaweed. Seaweed is an alphabet soup of vitamins and minerals: It's loaded with vitamins A, C, E, K and B, as well as iodine, selenium, calcium and iron. Packed with fiber, seaweed can help control your appetite, and some animal studies even suggest that it can help you burn more body fat. Look for sheets of seaweed on supermarket shelves and use them for wraps (instead of bread), or crumble them into salads, stir-fries and scrambled eggs.
3. Kohlrabi. This member of the cabbage family looks like a humungous Brussels sprout that might have been grown on Mars. But what kohlrabi lacks in beauty, it makes up for in health benefits. Both the purple and green varieties are super-low in calories and rich in minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals. Incredibly versatile, kohlrabi can be eaten raw, roasted, steamed, stir-fried, barbecued and even made into home fries.
