I love this.
Rose Absolute with Fortifying Jojoba Essential Oil by Aura Cacia is an oil that I use in combination with others to produce a fragrance. Roses I have the privilege of being amongst in warmer weather, and I enjoy their fragrance. In the colder weather, this product enables me to continue to enjoy their smell.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Good ingredients
Rose Absolute with Fortifying Jojoba Oil by Aura Cacia which is really a wax is remarkably similar to our skin's natural sebum. This makes it ideal for oil cleansing and helping to unblock pores. Jojoba oil is low on the comedogenic scale, so it's unlikely to clog pores (my skin is picky and I do just fine with jojoba). Rose essential oil is also skin loving and therapeutic. This oil smells great when you open the bottle. The only thing I don't care for is the smell once the oil is exposed to the air I'm applying it to my face, but this is probably a personal preference - it doesn't affect the quality or benefits otherwise.
Good size for travel, healthy ingredients, good results on skin.
Slightly fishy smell once oil is exposed to air.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

India's indigenous H1N1 vaccine will be ready only in April 2010, so the Union health ministry has activated its contingency plan to import and stockpile vaccines to inoculate healthworkers.
Health ministry estimates put the number of health workers at risk of getting H1N1 infection at 28 lakh. "The number of doses to be imported will be finalised this week, but the initial order will be at least 28 lakh vaccines," said Vineet Chawdhry, joint secretary, health ministry.
"If the companies seek marketing approval after trials, these vaccines will also be available at chemists," said Chawdhry.
The decision, however, means that the earliest India can start inoculation will be December as these vaccines will be tested for safety on the Indian population before getting a nod for use in the country from the Drug Controller General of India.
Australia will begin immunising people against swine flu in 10 days, while the US, Canada, Europe and China starting vaccination in October.
MedImmune, Sanofi-Aventis, Baxter International, CSL Biotherapies, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Novartis are among the companies providing H1N1 vaccines to these countries.
Pune-based Serum Institute of India Ltd, Bharat Biotech and Panacea Biotec are working on indigenous H1N1 vaccines.
"Four international vaccine manufacturers have shown interest — GSK, Novartis, Baxter and recently, Sanofi Aventis — in doing clinical trials called 'bridge trails' in India once we make a commitment to purchase a minimum amount," said Dr V.M. Katoch, secretary, department of health research, ministry of health.
Approval for the trials will be fast-tracked because of the pandemic situation, but it will still take a month before trials begin.
"The protocols will be ready next week and the trial will begin in a month. They will take six to eight weeks," said Dr Katoch.
Only one dose of the vaccine is needed to offer protection against H1N1, which has killed 225 people in India.

The Empire Strikes Out: Baseball's Historic Role in U.S. Foreign Policy
Robert Elias, Ph.D., Author; Professor of Politics, University of San Francisco
Though baseball has been widely recognized as a barometer of U.S. society, less examined has been its long-standing role in U.S. military, diplomatic and globalization policies, and in promoting the American way abroad. Elias reveals a colorful and often startling cast of characters, illustrated by dramatic slides, both from baseball and foreign policy. He tells how baseball has been compelling on and off the field.

text: My friend and I, who is a big elite gymnastics fan, were talking and got on the subject of elites who hadn't gone pro (ie still had NCAA eligibility) but were currently focusing all effort on the Olympics in 2012. Got into lengthy detail about if Bridget Sloan, Ivana Hong, Rebecca Bross (even pasts like Patteson, Shawn, Luikin, Memmel, any of the magnificent 7) etc. decided to announce intentions to go to college and compete after elite. We wondered who would be the biggest toss up and garner the most interest from everyone. But then i thought, surely something like this has happened before. Shayla Worley? Ashley Priess? Courtney Kupets? Ashley Miles? Mohini Bhardwaj? No one really came to mind as highly publicized recruits that had Florida, Utah, Georgia, Alabama and UCLA fighting tooth and nail to land.

The call for parents to stop sharing beds with their babies is not so simple in Tauranga with local health providers saying the habit is "very typical".
New research says babies who sleep in the same bed as their parents are five times more likely to die than those sleeping separately - even if the parents are non-smokers and have not taken drugs and alcohol.
Tauranga GP John Gemming said Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Sids) was "very clearly a risk" and people needed to recognise that.
"It's a bit like we know smoking kills, we know seatbelts save lives, we know having babies in bed dramatically increases the risk of that baby dying," Dr Gemming told the Bay of Plenty Times.
"Why would mothers choose to ignore these findings? I'm not aware of any valid reasons."
Dr Gemming said bed sharing was considered traditional but parents needed move on from this to help save lives.
Independent midwife Zoe Lo-Giacco said although she promoted the safety message around bed sharing, she understood why many mothers did it and it was "very typical" in Tauranga.
"I understand there have been tragedies around skin-to-skin bed sharing but babies have been in the womb for nine months.
"To take them from that environment and put them in a cold cot, on their back, and leave them to cry can be quite horrific for mum and baby," Ms Lo-Giacco said.
"It's not natural, mums can't do that, it's very difficult.
Ms Lo-Giacco said wahakura were the answer.
The tightly-woven flax baskets sit on the bed to allow bed sharing while also allowing the safe sleeping environment as bassinets.
Health services in Waikato, Hawkes Bay, Canterbury, Rotorua and Otara have taken part in a Pepi-pod Programme. Pepi-pods were similar to wahakura and provided the same bed-time safety for babies.
The University of Auckland research showed a five-fold increase in the risk of Sids, even if the parents did not smoke.
Bay of Plenty coroner Wallace Bain last week released his findings from an inquest into the death of a 2-month-old baby.
The baby slept between his parents tummy-down with his head resting on a tri-pillow every night. He died of positional asphyxia.
Mr Bain asked parents to avoid bed sharing because such deaths were "100 per cent preventable".
How can I protect my baby?
Have a smoke-free pregnancy and household.
Place babies on their back for sleeping.
Breast feed babies.
When asleep, clear baby's face and head free from hazards that can lead to suffocation.
Sleep with baby in your room for the first six months.
Ensure your baby sleeps in its own bed, especially if premature, born small or your family is not smoke free.

AFI Awards
Kenny make a splash at the AFI Awards?
Given that Australians haven't been very enthusiastic local film consumers in recent years, one imagines the major lure for tuning in to the AFI Awards will be star watching, the hosting talents of Geoffrey Rush and the television shows and actors nominated.
Having said that, this year's crop of films includes the popular antics of Kenny, the dunny king, although the voters may prefer Ray Lawrence's Jindabyne.
On the star-watching front the always glamorous Cate Blanchett
will present an award, as will Heath Ledger and Sam Neill. Teens
keen to catch a glimpse of Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter) will
be happy to know he is also on the presenters' list, thanks to his
turn in the coming Aussie film December Boys.

The famous American husband and wife Khloe Kardashian Odom, the sister of Kim Kardashian, and Lamar Odom of the LA Lakers, introduce their joint perfume project. The unisex fragrance named Unbreakable is to be found on the market just before Valentine's Day.
Of course, the fragrance symbolizes their so-called "unbreakable" relationship, and since Lamar had always wanted a unisex fragrance, they tried to launch something that they will both like. Apparently Khloe loves the perfume so much that she has been using it since it was completed.
The composition opens with notes of Italian bergamot, sparkling clementine, Asian saffron and green apple. The heart includes a bouquet of African Geranium, jasmine, lily of the valley and red fruit, lying on the base of dark chocolate, tonka bean, vanilla and Texas cedar wood.
Top notes: bergamot, clementine, saffron, green apple
Heart: geranium, jasmine, lily of the valley, red fruit
Base: dark chocolate, cedar, tonka, vanilla
Khloe and Lamar Unbreakable will be available at Perfumania from February 12, 2011 as Eau de Toilette spray in bottles of 100 ml.
I have to say, that the notes sound very well thought out and promising. I like that its unisex! I also loooove Khloe. I am not a huge fan of the rest of the family, but this girl keeps it real. I follow her, and cant wait for her and her hubbys new show. Thanks guys!
sorry i have to be the buzz-kill, but i've had enough kardashians to last me a life time. i wouldn't even consider trying/buying it.
Oh, I CAN wait so much to test this .... Hi, hi, hi !
Sounds interesting for unisex... Although I am expecting it it be sweet, hopefully the "masculine" elements of citrus and cedar tone it down.
I will be surprised and pleased if this fragrance displays intelligence - I don't really expect that from the Kardashians.:/
Surprisingly, I am also excited to try this too. I guess I just have a soft spot for a unisex fragrance, but it seems very feminine when I look at the notes. I will have to try it to find out!!!
this is def on my must sniff list! i have a suspicion this might smell a little like covet from sjp..... in any event , i love their concept, and i have a good feeling about this one! : )
I cannot wait to smell this!!!!!!
This sounds quite nice, indeed! I am so glad that some celebrities have FINALLY decided to release a unisex scent and let the wearers decide (we DO anyway!)...
Bright and slightly sweet citruses with a spicy- floral saffron note and a bit of sour green apple sounds lovely. Pelargonium (African geranium) would balance the feminine flowers of muguet and jasmine with the red berries giving it a bit of a tart twist! The base sounds divine with the bitter dark chocolate and sexy vanilla being balanced by the warmth of tonka and the dry sweet cedar...
I am actually VERY intruiged by this (maybe more than any celebuscent to date) and would LOVE to try this one! The bottle is not really unisex though, and some men (who buy on such factors) may think it is too girly; but I (personally) am more concerned with how the "juice" smells! ;)
What a wonderful Valentine's Day release! Thanks Sanja...as always! :)

Since gambling sites have come such a long way, it goes without saying that the customer support provided by each site has also improved dramatically since the first games were played online. While some are unhappy with the general state of customer support at gambling websites online, others are ecstatic by just how expansive some site's customer service department is. If you ever run into problems while playing any sort of gambling game online help is just a click or a call away which is much more convenient than it was 10 years ago.
It has not only been the casinos that dominate the field of wagering online. Newly founded investment firms are steadily taking hold in the market place, and a surging investment vehicle called binäre optionen is gaining a lot of interest from market investors of all shapes and sizes. Through the presence of internationally recognized brokers like banc de swiss and anyoption recreational and professional traders have become intrigued. We can thoroughly recommend finding a binary options broker that is right for you as the potential returns on your money can be unsurmountable.
Of course with sites that are new to the industry you can expect a bit of a lag behind in their customer service but with today's technological advances the learning curve for new gambling brands is smaller than it has ever been meaning that if there are customer service deficiencies they will be fixed in a matter of no time. Below we will briefly describe to you how customer service at gambling websites became what it is today as well as all the nuances featured in the customer service of today's best sites.
Call Support
When customer service for gambling sites was in its infancy, the only way to resolve problems with games and/or your account was to email or call the customer service department. The problem with email was that some people ended up waiting days before ever receiving any word on the status of their problem. A similar problem arose with calling them because customer service only operated at certain hours of the day and if your problem arose outside of operating hours you were out of luck and would have to wait hours and, once more, sometimes days before resolving your conflict.
Realizing that this was an inefficient way to go about handling customer support, many sites evolved their customer support staff so that they could operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. This meant that even if on Christmas, you were playing at a gambling brand and had a problem, you were still able to reach the bottom of that situation without having to wait. Now this is a small advance in customer service that really paved the way for the future and made the lives of players around the world significantly easier.
Live Chat
Live chat customer service is a newer tactic that is just now beginning to be implemented by just about every gambling institution new or old. This, for some people, is favored over calling because not only do they not have to dial a phone number and sit through a bunch of automated directions, they do not even have to leave their computer in order to get their conflict resolved.
Live chat is very simple and allows you to talk to a customer service representative via a chat much like AOL Instant Messenger or Facebook chat. Through this tool you are able to freely communicate and chat with your customer service representative until your problem or issue is resolved. The problem that lovers of this form of customer service support find is that live chat, unlike calling, is not available all the time. Only at certain hours of the day do most sites offer live chat which means that if you are having trouble with your account at 2 in the morning you may be out of luck or will simply have to make a phone call because most sites' live chat customer supports do not operate all the time.
Personal Experience
The difference between customer support of the past and the online customer support you will find today is the personal nature of the experience. Gambling brands are really beginning to understand that the happier they keep their players, the more profitable the site will be. Because of this you will see almost every site offer players the best bonuses and promotions which can help them earn themselves hefty sums of extra cash. Customer Support is more of a behind the scenes kind of deal but in recent years they are revamping their whole support system to cater to the specific needs of their players.
On top of that, gambling brands are becoming incredibly efficient at identifying glitches in their software and repairing them before they every even become a customer service issue. The fact of the matter is that the brands of today are on top of their game in just about every sense of the word and if problems do arise you can expect them to be fixed quicker than ever before. We have even heard people comment that the customer support offered by their favorite gambling site is better than the customer support offered by cable companies and internet providers. That alone is a testament to how far the industry has come since it was first begun back in the early 1990s.
This last point goes without saying for most people, but it is worth repeating that all information shared with a customer service representative at your brand of choice is all kept private and confidential. No more do players have to worry about account information and other personal information being leaked because the cyber security used by these sites is the most advanced and up to date.
In the past people were wary about sending emails or chatting about things like their bank account and other personal information because there were all types of hackers and thieves who looked to hack that information and use it illegally. Nowadays the gambling sites that we know and love use some of the best technology that money can buy ensuring the safety and security of every last player account on their site. In the past you heard about player accounts being hacked and abused all the time, but since the early 2000s the reports of accounts being hacked have dropped off significantly.

Anyone on earth, even a monkey could win once or twice at a gambling site, but not as many people can win on a consistent basis. Being able to win and then expand upon your winnings is what separates the talented players from the ones who just play for fun and don't put much thought into the whole process. There are a number of different things you can do to help make your gameplay more consistent but at the end of the day it really comes down to how much you play and practice.
If you go into the play thinking that every game and every bet is based off of luck you could not be more mistaken and should expect to lose a decent amount of money. While many games are based around luck, nearly every type of game type has an element of skill or strategy in it and until you learn those strategies you can expect to remain being an inconsistent player.
Hunt Weak Zebras
If you have ever seen a lion hunting in the wild you know that instead of picking out the strongest zebra in the pack he picks the weakest zebra because he knows that he will eat much more easily that way. When you are playing you should play with the mindset of a hunting lion and take advantage and feed off of the weak players surrounding you. With that being said it is important for new players to not be the weak zebra who ends up getting eaten by the lion. The weak zebra and weakest player is easy to spot out so if you are a new player it would be a good idea to avoid looking weak.
Taking advantage of weaker players at gambling sites is different with each game you play. The place where inexperience hurts you the most is at the online poker tables. This is because poker makes it easy for experienced players to tell who is weak simply by observing the way they place wagers and handle their cards. The players who constantly raise and re-raise may think that they are about to bluff a player out of a hand but in reality the more experienced player will call your bluff and when it comes time to turn the cards you realize your mistake once it is already too late. Being able to differentiate between smart, strong players and the weak players who will be easy to make a dollar off of only comes with practice. You can read as much strategy as you want but until you actually get out there and put it to use all that strategy is just words written on the internet.
Play Odds
Making smart bets on games that are favorable for the person making the wager is an easy way to earn some money while playing online. For example, a game like online poker is not a game with good odds for you if you haven't played a lot because the game of poker requires a lot of skill and practice to be talented. Just like you cant pick up a basketball and make every shot you take you cannot pick up a game of Texas Hold'em and expect to win every hand you play.
A simple game like roulette that you could for example play is great for beginning players because the types of bets you make range from having incredibly good odds to odds that seem more impossible than anything. For example, in roulette you can wager on whether the ball will land in a black or red space meaning that you have a 1 in 2 chance of winning your bet. But at the same time you can also place a bet on a specific number that you think the ball will land on. Since there are 36 numbers on a roulette wheel your odds go from 1 out of 2 on the first bet to 1 in 36 on the second. Obviously trying to guess the exact number is a lot more difficult than simply guessing whether the ball will land on red or black. Before playing any game you should read about how the game actually works and just how easy it is for you to make away with some cash. If you neglect to find out about the odds of certain games you will end up playing games with terrible odds and more or less be throwing your money away on a consistent basis.
Bonuses, Promotions
When some people hear about bonuses and promotions that are offered at online brands their first thought is that they are a scam and because of that players will stay away from them. The reality is that gambling sites run promotions and bonuses in order to keep their players satisfied as well as attract new players. If you stay away from minimally involved bonuses and promotions you are hurting yourself and on top of that preventing yourself from earning some very valuable free money.
The better a site or website is the more inclusive and beneficial their bonuses will be. If you pick a shady or inexperienced online brand to play at you will quickly notice that their bonuses are more of a waste of time than anything. The great thing about bonuses and promotions is that you can find out all about them before ever signing up and playing. You can also read the terms and conditions of most bonuses and promotions so you are aware of just how you go about turning your bonus money into cash.
These are just a few of the ways that you can turn your time spent into a payday. Winning big at gambling brands may not be the easiest thing in the world, but winning consistently on a slightly smaller scale is not very difficult at all.

Booth Newspapers- Grand Rapids Press, Saginaw News
Northern Ontario offers mix of urban and wilderness experiences
SAULT STE. MARIE, CANADA - There was a time when a vacation in northern Ontario meant a float plane, a remote lake, four guys, and all the walleye they could catch. The fish, the planes and the lakes are still here. But increasingly, the vacationers are couples, families, even honeymooners.
"What's happened is the groups of guys are bringing along their wives and their families," says Al Errington, who's operated a resort on Lake Wabatongushi in the Chapleau Game Preserve since the 1970s.
"It's a wilderness vacation instead of strictly fishing," he says. "There's a lot of very nice resorts in this area now."
At Errington's Wilderness Island Resort (www.wildernessisland.com), amenities include comfortable rooms and waterfront cabins, all with hot showers, along with a dining room that serves prime rib and other "really nice meals."
There's no road to the resort, 200 miles north of Sault Ste. Marie. Visitors come by the Algoma Central Railroad, or by float plane. There are no televisions. And largely because the customers want it that way, some of the cabins are lit only by propane lamps. Outdoors, the experience can include fishing, of course, but also swimming, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, or excursions to view moose, bear, loons and other wildlife.
The wilderness is still the major attraction of Northern Ontario. But these days, visitors can decide just how civilized they want their wilderness experience to be. Most North Ontario visitors also get a taste of the cosmopolitan, with one or more nights in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, or other gateway cities.
Larger cities such as Sault Ste Marie and Sudbury offer a full range of accommodations, fine dining, museums, art galleries, shopping and other trappings of modern life, all within a few minutes of spectacularly scenic wilderness that stretches for hundreds of miles.
Crossing the International Bridge into Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, is generally a painless experience. Because of lower traffic volume, the wait at customs is much shorter than at downstate crossings. Passports are not required for surface travel between Canada and the United States. Customs officials recommend that all travelers carry a birth certificate and photo ID such as a driver's license.
Perhaps the most popular gateway to the Canadian wilderness is the Agawa Canyon Tour Train, operated out of Sault Ste. Marie by the Algoma Central Railroad. The one-day excursion takes visitors more than 100 miles into the bush, stops for two hours in the Agawa Canyon, and then returns to the Soo.
The Agawa Canyon tour leaves the Soo daily at about 8:30 a.m., reaches the canyon for a two-hour layover about noon, and returns to Sault Ste. Marie station by about 5:30 p.m.
Most riders stay in the Canadian Soo for one or two nights. Hotels such as the Water Tower Inn and the Holiday Inn offer packages and will handle ticketing for their guests. The railroad's website, www.agawacanyontourtrain.com, includes a list of hotels and package plans. Phone: (800) 242-9287.
For those who want more than a couple hours to explore Agawa Canyon, the Canyon View Camp Car is a converted caboose that functions as a sort of mobile housekeeping cabin. The car, designed to sleep four people, is hauled up to the canyon, and parked on a siding for up to four days.
Included in the package is the use of two canoes along with
a screen tent, outdoor eating area and campfire pit. Occupants
bring their own food, and are free to explore the area until the
train returns to haul them back to the Soo.
The Algoma Central Railroad, which operates the Agawa Canyon Tour, also runs a passenger train three days a week on the same tracks north to Hearst, Ont., 296 miles north of Sault Ste. Marie. It's that train that serves Errington's Wilderness Island and other resorts along the way. The train operates on a flag-stop system, which means you can get on and off pretty much anywhere.
One popular trip is an overnight excursion to Errington's. Travelers head north on the railroad one day, spend the evening and night at Wilderness Island, and then catch the return train the next morning. Travelers can buy train tickets directly from the railroad, but it's more common for the resorts and lodges to make transportation arrangements for their guests, according to Michael Morrow, Algoma Central's passenger marketing director.
A brand new cultural attraction, tentatively set to open June 4, is Eagle's Earth Cree and Ojibway Historical Centre, at Constance Lake First Nation near Hearst. The center will provide access to kayaking and rafting trips on the area's wild rivers, as well as a restaurant serving authentic native cuisine, a re-creation of a native village as it might have appeared 7,000 years ago, an RV park, and overnight lodging in cabins or teepees.
Shuttle service will be provided between Eagle's Earth and the Algoma Central station in Hearst. The centre can also be reached by automobile on Highway 11, the northern branch of the Trans Canada Highway. Eagle's Earth is expected to be open year round, with winter activities including dogsledding, snowmobiling and cross country skiing.
Northern Ontario is so vast that it's impossible in a short article to even hint at the number of lodges, resorts, outfitters, attractions and float plane operators.
Here's a quick guide to major attractions and contact information for the region's major gateway cities. Another useful contact is Ontario Tourism, at (800) 668-2746 or www.ontariotravel.net.
# A guide to plane services, cabins and other outdoor attractions is available from Nature and Outdoor Tourism Ontario, at www.noto.net. Sault Ste Marie, across the International Bridge from the Michigan city of the same name, is the favorite entry point for Michiganians driving to Northern Ontario.
The Canadian Soo is a pleasant town with a riverfront boardwalk, several fine hotels, parks, and such attractions as the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Center (see accompanying story). The town has welcomed a number of Italian immigrants over the decades, and has a number of highly regarded Italian restaurants, including the New Marconi. The best known attraction is the Agawa Canyon Tour Train, which departs daily in summer from a downtown station.
A new Website, www.northernontario.com, gives potential travelers an introduction to the Soo and the surrounding area. The Algoma Kinniwabi Travel Association publishes on-line and printed guides to the region's attractions: (800) 263-2546; www.algomacountry.com.

Large tree crashes into two homes in Santa Cruz
Dolores Street closed until Thursday
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Santa Cruz firefighters responded to Dolores Street in the Seabright neighborhood Wednesday evening after a large tree crashed onto two houses.
According to Central Fire District Battalion Chief Walsh, it happened shortly after 9 p.m., between 6th and 7th avenues, blocking Dolores. There was one person in each home, but no one was injured. The drought and wind are believed to be contributing factors to the tree's fall.
The cypress tree that fell is about 4 feet in diameter.
Walsh said each home had exterior damage and said the tree did not break into either structure. "They were very lucky," said Walsh.
Dolores Street will remain blocked through Thursday until Santa Cruz County Public Works crews arrives to clear the roadway.
Power was knocked out to 4 residences. Pacific Gas & Electric crews responded and should have power restored by Thursday morning, according to Central Fire.
Fire officials clarified early reports and said a transformer did not blow following the crash. "The loud explosion was likely the sound of the tree falling," said Walsh.

Hyundai Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Yep my car has 61000 miles on it. The dealer was after me the last time I was in to get it changed @ 60k. I wanted to do it myself and save a few bucks. I bought it used from Enterprise and it had 34k miles. I drive about 5000 miles a month for my job.
Also is it okay to use a C-clamp to push the caliper piston back into the bore when changing the brake pads? The diagram shows some fancy tool that I should use.
I guess you drive a little more than average so just drain what you can from a warm transmission and fill it back through the dipstick. Pour the fluid in slowly and after 3.5 quarts start the engine and keep checking til is is in the lower range on the stick.
Use Hyundai SP-3 fluid and get five quarts. There is no filter to change
A shop with a trans flush machine would be able to replace as much as 90% of the fluid and you will be able to do about 30%
The front pistons are pushed back and you can use a c clamp, I like the disc piston tool (Less than $10) as it is easier to control. I open the bleeder and keep it upright to push the fluid out the bleeder and not back through the ABS hydraulic valves into the reservoir. There is less chance of pushing rust or dirt back into very expensive parts that way.
Let me know what I can do to help you with this
Thank you

Cristina DonàView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Introspective, profound, socially aware, and often (self-)ironic at the same time, Italian singer/songwriter Cristina Donà established herself as an artist with a strong personality -- and, in many ways, an original one, too, in terms of both music and lyrics. She's a unique talent who's been able to create around herself a relatively vast following of fans, and also get extremely positive feedback abroad. To put it simple and straight: along with Carmen Consoli, she's the most important female musician to emerge from Italy in the second half of the '90s. Born in Rho, in the outskirts of Milan, on September 23, 1967, Donà (real name: Cristina Trombini) decided to start making music when she was 17, inspired by the records of Bruce Springsteen. In the meantime, she studied art and worked as a set designer for theatrical works and videos (one of them being Litfiba's "Gioconda"). At the end of the '80s she started making concerts in the clubs of the Milan area both alone and with her own band, called Lullematt, playing cover versions of songs by the likes of the Waterboys, Neil Young, and U2. An opening slot with Afterhours in 1991 was the beginning of an important friendship and collaboration with their leader, Manuel Agnelli, who would produce her first two albums. In 1995 Donà was one of the finalists of Livorno's contest Premio Ciampi, and in 1996 her song "Terra Blu" -- included in the various-artists CD Matrilineare -- created a certain curiosity around her name among music fans and critics. Her debut album, Tregua (1997), was a well-crafted collection of songs, a perfect balance between rock electricity and acoustic nuances, with lyrics both intense and poetic. Considered by many as one of the most interesting Italian records of that year, eventually it would win the important Targa Tenco prize as the best debut album. In 1998 Donà took part in The Different You: Robert Wyatt e Noi, a tribute CD dedicated to the erstwhile Soft Machine drummer, who would be the most important guest on the following year's Nido (in the song "Goccia," subsequently released as a single), the record that confirmed Donà's talent in making ends such as pain, tension, love, and sweetness meet and mold into heartfelt and touching ballads. In 2000 Donà published the book Appena Sotto le Nuvole, a collection of poems and short stories, followed in 2003 by the travel log God Less America, co-written with journalist Michele Monina. Meanwhile, in 2001 she played at the Wyatt-curated Meltdown Festival in London, where she met Cousteau's Davey Ray Moor, who would be the producer of 2003's Dove Sei Tu. Thanks also to a remix of the single "Triathlon" by Subsonica, the record sold pretty well and considerably widened Donà's audience. In 2004 she guested on Telepathy, the debut of Moor's new project, Stellar Ray, and released Cristina Donà, her first record sung in English, including the Dove Sei Tu songs translated with the help of husband Davide Sapienza and Moor. Distributed in 33 countries by Rykodisc, the album received excellent reviews, the most important a four-star rating by Mojo. In 2005 the music magazine Il Mucchio Extra released a live acoustic CD recorded in 2002 with Manuel Agnelli and Marco Parente. Having moved from Italian indie label Mescal to Virgin, in 2007 Donà released the more polished La Quinta Stagione. She then entered London's Abbey Road Studios in order to record a new album including acoustic renditions of some of her most famous songs. ~ Aurelio Pasini

Happy Christmas yer arse! I'm looking for essays, non-fiction stories, and artwork about Kirsty MacColl and your experiences with her music. It could be the first time you heard one of her songs, or how her backing vocals on that one Smiths track captured your heart. Maybe her lyrics spoke to you in a certain way, or she was the soundtrack to a memorable night.

Over the weekend I ran into an friend who owns one of Milwaukee's awesome indy bookstores. I'd mentioned to him in the past that he should carry zines, and he's always hemmed and hawed about it.
When I saw him on Sunday he said he was open to having a discussion about it. So I'm asking for talking points to convince him. I think it would be great, as MKE doesn't have that many places that carry zines.
Questions I'm anticipating:

Rated 'R' for Red Carpet
Butt cheek! Hipbones! And a generous amount of side-boob! Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian and more stars have us covering our eyes with these revealing dresses. Here's what we're hoping not to see on awards show red carpets this season (or ever again)
Posted on
1 of 8
may be a multi-hyphenate superstar (model, TV host, blogger, singer ), but no matter what role she's playing, you can be sure you're going to get a good look at her long legs. She's even exploring advanced slit techniques, from the hip-high double split to the sliced micromini.
2 of 8
Though is used to garnering attention for her prodigious behind, it was her other assets that got people talking when she wore this black-and-white dress to an N.Y.C. event. Only time will tell if the mom-to-be trades looks like this for less revealing numbers in 2013!
3 of 8
There's no doubt that has a sick bod – and she spent all of 2011 showing it off in microminis. Her skin-baring approach in 2012 was slightly more sophisticated. She stuck to illusion looks that offered very strategic cover (while still giving a glimpse of her granny panties and sequined behind).
4 of 8
daring, dazzling Atelier Versace gown was certainly risqué enough from the front, thanks to its zigzagging cutouts. But it wasn't until she turned around that we were able to confirm that, nope, you really can't wear underwear with a gown like this.
5 of 8
We prefer our swimwear confined to the beach, and ideally unphotographed. , on the other hand, likes to drape hers in a see-through sequin tunic before hitting the red carpet. Next time, Lea, may we suggest an actual dress?
6 of 8
Let's hope Victoria's Secret paid swimsuit model Doutzen Kroes overtime for showing off her assets in what was ostensibly a gown. Much like her famous employer's teeny-weeny bikinis, this fringed, cut-out and sheer black gown left very little to the imagination. (Don't believe us? Check out all the angles here).
7 of 8
When daring to bare on the red carpet, there's yowza and then there's yikes! Tragically, Adrienne Bailon's super-sheer, super-short mini fell squarely into the latter category when a gust of wind hit that front ruffle and revealed quite a bit more than she intended.
8 of 8
We find it hard to leave our cozy bedsheets too, Anja Rubik, but that doesn't mean you should wear them out of the house. Thanks, though, for proving that there are things even a supermodel can't pull off.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Not-So Obvious Pricing:First and foremost, VytoCor advertises a single low price for their basic shared hosting account. However, as many of our reviewers have pointed out, you shouldn't let that number fool you! You'll have to sign up for an entire year to get that price, and if you decide to do anything shorter, you'll be paying a higher premium. Granted, this is hardly a deal breaker, but we felt you should know, especially as so many of its users have been talking about it.
Throttled Service:On a more disturbing note, we've also been hearing reports that VytoCor throttles the performance of accounts as soon as their 30-day money back guarantee has expired. Apparently, once the safety nets are off the company will drastically reduce the overall performance of the site, so much so that it's noticeable on the front-end. We can guarantee these reports are true, we've certainly heard it from enough of its user base to think it's not probableat but certainly plausible.
No Notifications:To dive into another area of this complaints, it appears that Robert Harris 's technical support can be somewhat lackluster. Most noticeably, its users have been reporting a lack of reports. In other words, their accounts have been removed, modified, or even been down without any sort of notification of a change in service. It appears this is a tactic to avoid being blamed for server problems. At least, that's what its users have been saying. The common trend is apparently the need to pester and badger the technical support representative until, finally, they admit to a server-side problem. Obviously this is a terrible way to run a business, and it appears the reseller hosts are suffering the most because VytoCor is only selling web hosting packages, they don't write code nor create the website or domains you buy from them. they use premade templates to add infomation to.
Lack of Knowledge: On another note, it also appears that VytoCor's support representatives have been unable in a lot of cases to solve the problems its users have been facing. Frequently, reviewers have called up a tech support agent, only to have their situation either exacerbated, or worsened.
Slow Service: Lastly, we're hearing reports that the tech support service with VytoCor is somewhat slow on the upkeep. It often took users days to hear back from an email ticket, and not even a live chat for this so called reputable hosting vendor site.
Broken Links: A slightly more bizarre, though no less common, complaint, is that VytoCor frequently breaks all the links embedded within a website, and with no obvious cause. One morning, many users awoke to find their links simply broken. As mentioned earlier, tech support didn't appear to be of much help, and in all but a few cases, our users moved on to a different hosting company.
Database Errors: users have reported more database errors than most with VytoCor. It appears housing a database with VytoCor is somewhat risky, often leading to overloaded requests or sites that simply don't function correctly because of it.
Slow Website Transfer: Apparently, moving your website from either another VytoCor server or another web host can take quite a bit of time. we get reports that a basic website transfer can take as much as 30 hours to complete: A truly unpleasant number of hours, if you bank on your website daily for your own livelihood. Still, we're not seeing quite as many reports as we usually do in this section, and believe it or not, VytoCor's uptime appears to be some of the worset in the business.
This report was posted on Ripoff Report on 08/19/2014 01:17 PM and is a permanent record located here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/robert-d-harris-vytocor-web-solutions/memphis-tennessee-38111/robert-d-harris-vytocor-web-solutions-vytocor-web-solutions-vexel-multimedia-scam-artist-1170836.

In saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, then pour into large mixing bowl. Let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix flour, salt and baking soda.
When butter has cooled, add both sugars and whisk or beat until combined. Mix or beat in egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix until only a little flour is visible. Add chocolate chips and nuts, if using, and mix to incorporate thoroughly. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place golf-ball-size mounds of dough on silicone- or parchment-lined baking sheet 3 inches apart. Flatten slightly with palm of hand.
Bake in preheated oven until cookies are golden brown and no longer look wet, 12 to 15 minutes.
Let cookies cool on baking sheet about 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.
Variations: Use white chocolate chips instead and macadamia nuts; a combination of white and dark chocolate chips; M & Ms; raisins instead of chocolate chips plus 1 cup rolled oats; or another dried fruit such as dried cranberries.

Variety, Bay of Plenty coroner Dr Wallace Bain tells us, is the spice of life.
If anyone knows a thing or two about variety it's Dr Bain.
His career's encompassed pharmacy and law culminating in a doctorate in Medico Pharmacy law.
And when it comes to assessing our national sport he's no an armchair critic, he's the real deal. He's played at senior club level, chaired the NZRFU's Super 10 and Super 12 judicial committees and, in the lead-up to the 2003 and 2007 World Cups was an IRB judicial commissioner. Commentators regularly seek him out for his expertise.
He's had first-hand local body experience, serving a term as Waitomo mayor in the mid 1990s, has owned three pharmacies and had a foot in the corporate camp, as chairman of directors of two pharmaceutical companies.
Then there's Wallace Bain the author. In the early 1980s the mad-keen trout fisherman co-authored Tongariro River and Lake Taupo's Southern Shores. He classifies it as an 'ABC of how to fish the area'. The first print run of 5000 sold out, ditto a second of 3000. He muses it's probably due for an update.
Being busy is integrated into his psyche. He was heavily involved in the restructuring of the coronial reforms that
introduced 16 full-time coroners country-wide. At the time of his present appointment he was the King Country-Taupo coroner.
The Bay of Plenty job's far bigger. When he arrived in Rotorua he was faced with a backlog of 380 cases and he's picking he'll have dealt with 450 by this year's end.
To the onlooker the coroner's role was tailor made for Wallace Bain who specialised in medical and pharmaceutical law, lecturing on it nationally and internationally and who's description of himself is a 'people
Bereaved families facing the stress of an inquest find his professionalism tempered with compassion. Outside
the courtroom he's witty and entertaining.
But don't be fooled into assuming he's all `Mr Nice Guy'; he has no time for bureaucratic shilly-shallying, acknowledging he doesn't "muck around''.
When the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) took eight years "looking at'' aerial topdressing pilot fatigue Dr Bain
delivered a bollocking that galvanised officialdom into action. Following a string of State Highway 30 fatalities on
one-way bridges his criticisms saw them widened.
He's presently plugging for action in areas as diverse as parent-infant co-sleeping, water safety and hunting. "Yes,
it is frustrating when recommendations aren't acted on, especially as it's a coroner's job to help prevent future deaths in similar circumstances.''
What of this high achiever's early years?
The son of a pharmacist (his father, Athol Bain, was the country's oldest registered pharmacist when he died last year aged 94), Wallace studied pharmacy not because his father insisted on it, rather that he'd been in the science stream at Hamilton Boys' High. Principal Aubrey Baigent was the first non-family member to have a profound influence on him. He reflects that it was Baigent who steered him away from surfing and sport to become more academically inclined.
"During the 7th form he asked me to come back for another year as head boy, I guess he recognised I had leadership potential.''
His second mentor was Pharmacy School chemistry professor, later Dean, Don Griffin. "He had an enormous influence on me, not just as a teacher but as my rugby coach, he taught me valuable life-winning skills.''
Wallace Bain played hooker in the Petone Pharmacy Team. "That was probably the most memorable time of my life belonging to this wonderful working men's club.''
Wallace and his wife to wife-to-be, Juliet, became 'an item' at Pharmacy College. One thing Wallace has never been is work shy. In the early days of his marriage he had three jobs _ sole charge of a Pakaranga Pharmacy, coaching science and maths students and at a KFC outlet "where I really learnt what life was about.'' He also did
regular night pharmacy stints.
However, he'd always had a hankering for the law, his late mother Mollie (nee Speakman) was New Zealand's first woman detective.
It was during the second Arthur Allan Thomas (murder) trial that his attention became focused on a law degree.
He dropped into the trial to watch the judicial system in action.
Three years on he graduated from Otago University with first class honours.
Before starting as a fully-fledged lawyer he was back behind a dispensary bench as a locum pharmacist close to
his employers-to-be, Hamilton law firm McCaw Smith and Arcus. "I closed the door of the pharmacy where I'd been
earning $100 a day at 9pm on a Friday night and went upstairs on Monday morning for my first job as a lawyer to learn I'd be on $88 net a week.''
He describes the following two years as "unbelievable training'', but when a Te Kuiti lawyer offered him a job in 1980 he didn't hesitate. "My wife was from a farming family in the area, I loved the outdoors, I thought I'd go for a year to 18 months, but remained until I came here [Rotorua] in 2007.''
Over those years he was a partner in what became Lamb Thomas & Bain, working across the legal board, before
specialising in medical law.
Te Kuiti introduced him to King Country rugby _ he chaired the Pio Pio club for close to a decade. "We brought in some overseas players, got to be the area's champion team.''
So what's Wallace Bain's analysis of Wallace Bain?
"I'm just an ordinary Kiwi bloke who views the glass as half full even if it's empty; I'm equally happy rubbing shoulders with scrub cutters or judges.''

Million dollar winner named in Wadena
WADENA — Mike Snyder doesn't know what prompted him to buy two lottery tickets on that day in November.
But he has a million reasons to be glad he did.
Snyder, 67, stood with his wife Lea, both wearing black sweatshirts with the word "winner" stitched on the front, at the Jefferson Street Holiday Station Tuesday as Minnesota Lottery officials presented them with a large check for $1 million.
As friends and family gathered for the presentation at the Holiday Station Store, Lea Snyder asked one how she was doing. The friend's reply — "not as good as you" — generated laughs from the gathering.
This is the fourth year Snyder purchased a Minnesota Millionaire Raffle game ticket. He typically buys one. But on Nov. 18, he decided to get two and spent $20. The second ticket was the winner.
Friend Larry Kreklau, Wadena, regularly meets with Snyder for coffee. Snyder was at Kreklau's home earlier Tuesday morning to fix a fuse.
"He's as good a guy as you can hope for," Kreklau said. "He's down to earth. ... It couldn't happen to two nicer people."
Lea and Mike Snyder said they weren't sure they realized their good fortune yet and never imagined this would happen. Mike Snyder played the Millionaire Raffle, the only game he does play, because he said it offered the best odds, but hoped for a win of $5,000 or maybe $25,000.
"We are excited but you don't think this will ever happen," Lea Snyder said.
Mike Snyder said he was asleep too early to see the numbers drawn for the raffle on New Year's Day. But up early the next day, he saw the winning numbers displayed on the TV. They looked familiar and he was pretty sure he had a winner. He put his DVR on pause. He checked the numbers against the ticket. He went to wake his wife.
"He got me out of bed at 6 a.m. in morning to show me the numbers," Lea Snyder said. "It's a very humbling feeling."
Mike Snyder said he told his wife 'you need to wake me up or tell me I'm reading this wrong.'"
He wasn't.
The win came just days before his birthday. The Snyders said this windfall will help make their retirement easier and financially secure.
"We're not going to go out and blow it," Mike Snyder said. "We might buy one toy."
That toy may come with eight wheels and the money will help fund those annual trips to see the Twins in spring training, courtesy of Sun Country.
Jenny Canfield, Minnesota State Lottery acting executive director, said the Snyders were notably calm when they claimed the prize at the lottery office.
"If you want somebody to keep a secret tell Mike and Lea Snyder," Canfield said.
Self-described as quiet and conservative people, Lea Snyder said they are still getting over the shock of the win.
After they confirmed the numbers, the ticket sat on Mike Snyder's desk and they kept the secret until Jan. 6 when they went to Rosemount to authenticate the ticket at the lottery office.
"You want to talk, yet you still don't believe it," Lea Snyder said.
"I didn't believe it until they put the money in my bank account," Mike Snyder joked.
When they did tell family and friends of their good luck, they found people had a hard time believing them. The couple has three children, a son and two daughters, and seven grandchildren. They stopped to see son Mike on their way back from claiming the prize.
Mike said his dad and stepmother kept the secret all through dinner and then when they said they'd won a $1 million, he thought they were joking. Even when they showed him a rather blurry photo taken at the lottery office, he said: "where did you get that made?"
Then Mike and his wife Karen realized it wasn't a spoof but was true.
"They are just kind people," Mike said of his dad and stepmother.
They didn't expect the win to change anything about the parents. Karen said it's the first time she's known anybody who actually won the lottery.
Lea and Mike Snyder are originally from Iowa. He's from Spencer. She's from Riceville. She teaches piano and works at Tri-County Health Care birth unit. She said she loves her work and plans to continue to work a few more years. Mike Snyder worked for Sears and later owned his own business Mike's Appliance Repair, before retiring about a year-and-a-half ago. He said initial plans are to donate to the tornado recovery fund and their church and then feel more secure in their retirement.
The Holiday Station received a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket with Steve Schmitz, general manager, accepting the oversized check on the store's behalf.
The other $1 million prize from the Jan. 1 drawing was sold in Steele County and has not yet been claimed. The Minnesota Millionaire Raffle players have until Jan. 2, 2013, to claim the prizes. And Canfield said there are still three $100,000 Raffle prizes unclaimed with two purchased in Hennepin County and one in Mille Lacs County.
Since 1990, the lottery raised more than $2 billion for state programs with the general fund receiving more than $1.2 billion to fund areas such as education, public safety and health and human services. More than $800 million has gone to fund critical environmental programs, the state reported.
Kreklau picked up a Millionaire Raffle ticket while he was at the Holiday Station store. He said: "I was hoping the luck would rub off."

It's only two weeks into the season and some players have started with a hiss and roar while others are performing below expectations. No doubt fantasy owners will be thinking over whether to stick with the status quo or pick up the in-form player.
Gareth Widdop (Dragons), 66 points at $214,000
The Dragons' back has been a revelation this season after leaving the Melbourne Storm and now taking over fulltime kicking duties. His side have had an easy run so far with big wins over the Tigers and Warriors and face an injury-hit Sharks team tomorrow. Buy.
Cameron Smith (Storm), 83 points at $452,000
He's the highest paid in his position but he hasn't been showing it in the opening two weeks. He should come right but at that price he's probably worth a sit for a while until he proves himself. Sell. Brisbane's Andrew McCullough ($368,000, 130 points) or Nathan Peats (148,000, 54 points) are good replacements.
Anthony Milford (Raiders), 54 points at $172,000
Milford had a huge game against the Knights on Monday, scoring 40 fantasy points. He's taken the kicking duties from Jarrod Croker, who struggled with a hamstring injury but still scored 30 fantasy points. He doesn't look pretty doing it but if he keeps kicking, he's worth a buy. Buy.
To add or not to add
This week also sees a few big names return to action.
Todd Carney($270,000) returns for the Sharks after missing the opening two games in 2014. He may be a big name but in terms of Fantasy there are better cheaper options in the halves such as the Titans' Albert Kelly (114 points at $251,000). My advice - Don't add.
Manu Vatuvei ($310,000) also returns after missing last week's defeat to the Dragons. The big back is a dangerous pick-up as he can be easily boom or bust and being injury prone doesn't help his cause. My advice - Don't add.
Glenn Stewart ($272,000) is back for Manly for their clash with the Eels on Sunday. There is potential for a blowout in this game as the Eels were handed a comprehensive thrashing by the Roosters last weekend. If the Sea Eagles deal to the Eels it can bring bad news for players such as Stewart who gain points from high tackle counts but he's a decent option if you need to replace Sonny Bill Williams, Paul Gallen or Shaun Fensom in your side who are all out this week. My advice - Add.
Nathan Peats will start for the Eels at hooker against Manly after sitting out a club-imposed one week suspension. He is the best value for money player in Fantasy with massive potential. He should play a full 80 on Sunday after scoring 54 points in the season opener against the Warriors. At $148,000 he's almost four times cheaper than Cameron Smith and I know it's only one week of data in but has so far out performed the Storm hooker. My advice - Add.
Johnathan Thurston has been in great form and faces the 0-2 Warriors at home. Jason Taumalolo is also worth a look. Manly backline should fire against the Eels so eye Jamie Lyon, Cheyse Blair, Daly Cherry-Evans and even Steve Matai.
Nathan Peats
Johnathan Thurston
Daly Cherry-Evans

Candidates care
Steamboat Springs What I see is a list of people who are passionate and care for this community. We all need to remember that Wednesday morning after all the votes are counted, regardless of who wins there is no perfect candidate and we still get to call each other friends and neighbors.

Tough case
If Wall never had to submit to any alcohol related test, there is no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt whether he was intoxicated or not. If charges were pursued, this would get thrown out due to procedure not being followed and no proof of BAC.

Wait on Wall
Innocent until proven guilty not guilty until proven innocent. I'll wait and see.

New friends
People are always coming and going here. Sometimes, they come back. One of the first people I met in Steamboat was very welcoming. After a few months, I asked that person why he was so welcoming to new residents; He replied: "Friends are always moving away, so its very important to make new friends!"
- localthinker
Something special
We really do have something special, and people have different opinions of the path to protecting this caring community and friendships we share.

'No' on rec
I wonder if people voting on this issue realize that they already face a significant increase in property tax due to the combination of a big raise in assessed value this year and the freeze in in the school mill levy. A new tax burden for a rec center will not help affordable housing or the cost of living.
- ziggy
'Yes' on rec
Do you want to live in a soul-less resort town or a world class location for healthy living, neighborly interactions, and raising a family? If you want the later, please vote yes!

Router edge
1 Attachment(s)
I'm looking at doing this edge on a cut piece of 1"x1" to finish off the bottom edge of my kitchen cabinets. Can I buy a router bit to do this edge, do I need to use a table saw blade, get out my pocket knife and so some carving or what??????
That should be a store bought shape---Go to one of the router bit sites and see if you can find a match---you will not find that one in a Home Depot---
Looks like its a "3 bead edge"
I have the worlds worst memory for names----but I believe I have that profile--so it is fairly common----Jim or Woodworkbykirk might know---
Any box store should have that as a stock molding.
you might get something similar but not exact. i cant get that profile at a big box store or at my trim supplier.. its definitely something youd need a shaper for or atleast shaper knives outfitted on a table saw. it can be done on a router table but it would require quite a bit of setup time and several passes
199 Attachment(s)
This is as close as I could find. http://www.toolstoday.com/p-5241-var...uter-bits.aspx
The bit will cost more than the molding....
mlcswoodworking.com, item #8799 ($25.00 and shipping is free.................)
I'll have to check out that web site...I don't think I've ever paid less than $35 for a large bit
199 Attachment(s)
When I need to exactly replicate a molding I take a piece of step flashing or other scrap tin and trace the profile onto it. Then I cut along the lines with my tin snips and fine tune it with a file. Bring it to a tool maker and have him make a cutter for my molding machine.
He can bang one out on his milling machine in a couple of minutes, and its cheaper than buying a router bit, assuming you can find one to match. Of course my cutters are made from HS steel and not carbide, but I rarely need to mill up enough stock to need the durability of carbide. Plus HS steel sharpens quickly if needed.

I believe universities should create transformative spaces that propel students into their careers with excitement and critical awareness of their roles as citizens and professionals. My goal is to facilitate students' active participation in the knowledge generation process with attention toward real world analysis and application of course concepts. I hope to support each student on their quest to find their scholarly path and voice, fostering creativity, curiosity, and attention to social justice along the way. Through discussion, collaborative inquiry, and applied experiences in the community, I strive to create settings where students feel comfortable openly and critically examining course material. I also try to identify opportunities for students to engage in community-based activities in order to make learning local and bring our vast university resources, of which our student body is a critical one, into the community.
I encourage students to bring their whole selves, particularly their multiple identities, prior education, personal and professional lives, and communities, into the classroom. I use a variety of activities, such as small and large group discussions, photovoice, and community-based projects, to create opportunities for students to explore and challenge the material through scholarly and lived experience lenses. This is not to suggest that all critiques are equally valid and useful; part of the power and purpose of the classroom is to learn to present compelling critiques and generate novel insights or applications of academic material. This is an exciting space to share with students and I look forward my own new "aha" moments that occur each quarter I have the privilege of co-learning with UWB students.

Through multiple strands of research that mix paradigms, media, and methods, I seek to identify how we, as scholars and community members, can create and support settings that foster health, empowerment, and social justice. My work focuses on understanding and promoting adolescent health and well-being with particular attention to contextual risk and protective factors, culture, and youth as agents of social change. My primary substantive focus is on sexual health, broadly defined. I am also interested in the footprint community-based researchers and universities leave in the communities with which they collaborate. In this line of work, I attend to the process and outcomes of community-based research with youth and adults, university-community partnerships, and student engagement in community-based learning and research.

Fort Worth's Near Southside is quietly developing into one of the city's most formidable culinary corridors.
The embarrassment of riches is evident all along Magnolia Avenue. Anchored toward its western end by the nationally lauded Ellerbe Fine Foods, fresh-faced upstart Temaki Sushi and craft cocktail mecca the Usual (to name just a few), the eastern end of Magnolia is likewise no slouch -- home to Yucatan Taco Stand, Paris Coffee Shop, a clutch of eagerly anticipated, yet-to-open bars (including the Boiled Owl Tavern) and, now, a wonderful little curio called Shinjuku Station.
The brainchild of Tokyo Cafe's Jarry and Mary Ho, along with Casey and Elyssa Kha, Shinjuku Station has been open and quietly tinkering with its menus since March, and celebrated a weeklong grand opening in mid-July.
There is an almost palpable sense of movement within the spare, homey space (kudos to whoever assembled the restaurant's playlist, favoring the likes of Arcade Fire, Phoenix and the Killers). The room also features lots of exposed brick and ductwork, as well as sleek banquettes and a small bar. Out back is an expansive patio that should be buzzing whenever summer ceases its scorching wrath.
Modeled on the Japanese izakaya (which translates as an after-work pub that also serves food), Shinjuku Station, which was once intended to link up with Fort Worth's (now derailed) light rail line, offers an atmosphere unlike any other eatery in the city. Apart from a few favorite dishes (such as the savory tok fries, transplanted from Tokyo Cafe), the menu will likely keep evolving over time.
Shinjuku's emphasis is on small, strikingly presented plates -- although sushi is also offered here.
At lunch, the focus is on quick, easy and refreshing. The menu is dominated by bento boxes and rice bowls, with several options. Diners can let Shinjuku do the heavy lifting (the $15 "healthy" bento box includes a selection of tuna and salmon sashimi, a spinach salad, and a crab salad roll) or assemble their own lunch for $11, with a variety of choices, from chilled green tea soba noodles to roasted shishito peppers.
A quartet of donburi (rice bowls, $7-$12) provides a variety of textures, from the more traditional beef bowl, with its sliced beef drizzled with a sweet, spicy sauce, to the more alluring chirashi don, a riot of fresh sashimi and Japanese veggies served over lightly seasoned sushi rice.
Dinner is where Shinjuku Station's adventurous side comes out, spiking happy hour with a few truly gorgeous, exotic entrees. (Speaking of drink specials, don't miss the specially created cocktails, including the $8 cu-berry-tini, a wonder of fruity herbaceousness.)
The showstopper entree is, unquestionably, the ishiyaki ($23), which allows customers to play chef, searing paper-thin strips of Kobe beef on a scalding hot Japanese river stone. The effect is borderline narcotic: wielding chopsticks and maneuvering the meat onto the steaming stone, hearing it sizzle, watching it curl and plucking it off less than five seconds later, then dressing it with several varieties of mushrooms and dipping it into a slightly sweet soy sauce laced with ginger and green onion.
It's a delicious, evanescent bite, redolent of earthy flavor from the mushrooms and tasting faintly of fire. The only complaint is that it's over far too soon.
There are other highlights. The Hokkaido scallops and tuna tartare ($8), served on a lotus root crisp and dotted with roasted rice pearls, looks almost too beautiful to eat, but it's impossible to restrain yourself; the okonomiyaki ("Japanese pizza," $7) has a peculiar appearance but a rich, succulent flavor, thanks to nubs of pork belly. It's tucked amid more conventional Japanese fare like edamame and steamed rice.
Those who want to simply sip Sapporo and nosh on sushi rolls can do that. But taking a risk at Shinjuku -- try the magnificent peppercorn tuna sashimi ($15), which combines fierce heat and breathtakingly fresh fish -- yields tremendous rewards.
Let the helpful staff guide you; give yourself over to the smart, relaxed space; and use Shinjuku Station as a jumping-off point, a way forward into Magnolia Avenue's foodie future and one of the city's more exciting new restaurants.

More than 16,000 prospective freshmen have been admitted to UCLA for the fall, representing about 20 percent of the nearly 80,500 who applied, the university announced Thursday.
The prospective class of 16,177 students includes 9,539 California residents, about 84 percent of whom are expected to graduate in the top 9 percent of their high school class, according to UCLA. The prospective students represent nearly every state and 74 countries.
"The ever-increasing demand for a UCLA education and the competitiveness of our admissions process are testaments to our value as one of the world's most prestigious universities and the destination point for exceptionally talented and motivated students,'' UCLA Chancellor Gene Block said. "Our admitted class represents the wide range of backgrounds that a public institution like UCLA should reflect.''
Admitted freshman have until May 1 to state whether they intend to actually enroll at the university. Transfer students have until June 1.
UCLA has set its enrollment target for in-state students at 4,100 students, up 100 from last year. The target for on-residents remains at about 1,600, according to the university.
The admitted in-state students are 43 percent Asian, 26.3 percent white, 21.3 percent Latino and 4.2 percent black.
Across the entire UC system, 82,850 students were admitted, up 3.2 percent from last year. All nine campuses increased admission offers to out-of-state students, increasing the overall number from 18,846 last year to 22,761 this year, according to the university.

Very nice gun you have there - I have a fullsize 9mm version and a compact 9mm version.
As some know I got my first HK a few weeks ago. So far I am loving it! As expected the gun had 0 failures! Feed excellent! Almost no ramp needed seeing as how it is almost direct from mag to bbl. Gun is super accurate! i love it. I have been shootin my 1911 for years and I shot this gun the first day I got it better than I shoot my 1911. The only pic I have of the target is rapid fire at 50 feet. I know it is not that great. lol I find it funny how I can hit a can from 150+feet but cant keep my rapid fire in a tighter group. lol I will be shooting it again this weekend so I will have to post another report. Here are some pics. Hope you all enjoy!
Very nice gun you have there - I have a fullsize 9mm version and a compact 9mm version.
DA is not to bad. It is heavy but nothing you cant work with. I dont use the DA seeing as how you can have the gun cocked and locked!Originally Posted by Vom Kriege
Yes, I keep both of my USPs cocked and locked
Thats the way to go :-DOriginally Posted by Shipwreck
The DA on all of the USPs that I have tried have all been heavy. A couple where smooth but heavy, but a couple of them had really bad DA triggers. C&L would be the way to go on a CCW, but for a duty weapon that might not be an option.Originally Posted by -gunut-
Yeah it would suck not being able to do cock and lock. The DA pull on the HK feels just like my 92fs's. So it would be kinda the same as carrying a berettaOriginally Posted by Vom Kriege
Exactly. It really is no different than any gun of this design - DA/SA w/ an external hammer. Only the new DAK or LEM triggers, or striker fired pistols will really be different.Originally Posted by -gunut-
Many of the standard DA/SA has the safety on the slide - so U don't have the option of cocked and locked - that's why I like USP
The only DA that I "like" to use out of all of my DA/SA pistols is my Walther P99... It's a joy! My Sigs are little heavy in the DA mode and therefore not as "fun" to shoot in the DA mode. I'll say this though, when I HAD to pull my Sig 226 and shoot, I did not even notice the heavy first trigger pull... All I really remember is that the gun worked! Thank God! In them tight spots muscle memory kicks in and all you care about is that it goes bang... Target shooting is another matter...
Someday, I'd like to have a H&K! :wink:

Project Details
Geordie Pool wanted a funky ecommerce website to reflect their products and to appeal to the sort of customers who buy them. They also wanted to be able to update the products themselves, and to update areas of the website, such as the rotating carousel on the homepage. The process of choosing and buying the products, ranging from impulse purchases such as cue cases to more considered purchases such as American pool tables, had to be simple and intuitive.
Using strong Pool and Snooker imagery, Engage Web completely rebranded Geordie Pool with a new logo and new website, constructing the website to both perform well for customers and for Google, with its search engine friendly URL structure.
The website was constructed using WordPress, offering the ease of use and the search engine friendliness of the WordPress system.
