They were careful not to change the words, which appear as subtitles in classical Hebrew script.
For Kirke it was being paid to pretend to play the oboe that heightened her affair with classical music.
In 2007, she became the first classical musician to be named to the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world.
"If I had my life to do over again," he says, he would be a classical musician.
In the carving, the temple is depicted with a classical pediment front and a colonnade of columns supporting the structure.
Let us enquire by what singular series of accidents, such a man crawled to the summit of classical reputation?
He overthrew the classical ideal of art, and enthroned the ego in its room.
The author shows that he knew as minutely as extensively the whole round of classical literature accessible to his times.
So much for what may be called the classical and reference department of the library.
He soon became the most popular leading man in Paris, not only in the classical rpertoire, but in contemporary novelties.
1590s, "of the highest rank" (originally in literature), from classic + -al (1). Classical music (1836) was defined originally against romantic music.
[I]n general, as now used, the term classical includes the composers active in instrumental music from somewhere about 1700 to say 1830. Hence the list includes among the great names those of Bach, his sons, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Clementi, Dussek, Pleyel, Cramer, etc. The next step beyond the term classical is "modern romantic," the composers of which school may be taken to include all the writers for pianoforte from about 1829 (when Mendelssohn published the first "Songs without Words") down to the present. The term romantic in this sense means strongly marked, extraordinary, intending to tell stories and the like. ["Music, Its Ideals and Methods," W.S.B. Mathews, 1897]But already by 1880s it was acknowledged the term had a double sense: Music that had withstood the test of time, as well as music of a style contrasted to "romantic." Later (early 20c.) it was contrasted to jazz (in this sense more often with reference to the orchestras than to the music itself). Still later in contrast to popular music generally (mid-20c.).

Author Bjorneboe's Book Reviews
Moment of Freedom
The narrator is a courthouse in an Alpine principality, who in his spare time is writing a "History of Bestiality." The discovery of pornographic photos involving leading citizens of the town sets him to trying to remember his past, including rebellious school days, wanderings in Germany and Italy and his time as a refugee and art student in Stockholm during World WAr II. He ruminates on the nature of evil and his own cowardice in not having the courage...
POWDERHOUSE is the second volume in the "History of Bestiality" trilogy by the Norwegian writer Jens Bjorneboe. It is set in a surrealistic mental hospital in Alsace. A bizarre cast of doctors and patients are woven around a series of therapeutic lectures on such topics as the permanent witch hunt, capital punishment, and the role of the heretic in history. By turns gruesome, lyrical and funny, this explosive book bursts the bounds of genre....
The Sharks
Describes the voyage of the bark Neptune across the pacific in 1899. The ship is a microcosm of the world. Conflicts erupt at the very beginning. As the ship's medical officer, the narrator/second mate feels himself caught in the middle. Tension builds up to a mutiny, but a typhoon forces all to cooperate to save themselves. ...
The Silence
In the third volume of the "History of Bestiality" Trilogy, the narrator is sojourning in an unnamed country in North Africa. The narrator's alcoholism becomes a metaphor for European wealth-addiction and its effect on the rest of the world, and the inevitablilty of revolution. The narrator talks with a black African revolutionary and an American Vietnam veteran, and steps out of time and has conversations with Columbus, Robespierre, and God. ...

With the signing of Mike Mitchell safety is absolutely not a need anymore for the Steelers.
I would love for Mike Evans to be the pick. If not then Dennard would be terrific and the second pick of Robinson would be ideal.

For the love of all things holy, no. I'd gladly take Bridgewater first overall if I had the pick. Strictly personally I don't think Manziel has significant value in the first three rounds, much less seventh overall.

Worst case scenario there for Philly if everyone goes as is there. I'd hope to trade back at that point. I'd probably prefer a rush Lb over CB with Dennard going right ahead of us.

A champion for appreciative advising
By Megan Sexton, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1421
Each year, thinkers and doers from all over the world come together for the TED conferences, dynamic events featuring lectures in Technology, Entertainment and Design. Attendees have called it "the ultimate brain spa," and TED is known for sending people home energized about the possibilities for the future.
It's a gathering that's made for people like USC education professor Jenny Bloom.
At the TED Global 2012 gathering in Edinburgh, Scotland, this summer, Bloom was invited to give a short presentation about how a positive approach can be used to create sustainable behavior change. In three minutes, she made her case for how people in countries with poor sanitary conditions can be taught to change the way they wash their hands, a simple change that can truly save lives.
Bloom, a clinical professor in the College of Education's department of educational leadership, is a true believer in the power of a positive approach. It's a belief that guides her role in what's called appreciative advising -- a way of working with students by asking open-ended questions and then carefully listening to the students' responses.
"It's advising that moves beyond asking, 'What classes are you going to take?' It's about getting to know students, their life goals, their career goals – and helping them make a plan for accomplishing the goals through inside and outside the classroom actions," Bloom said. "And it's about reminding advisors how important it is to believe in their students and how important it is to open doors of opportunity for them."
Bloom knows first-hand the difference individual attention can make in a student's life. After finishing her undergraduate degree at Illinois State, she wasn't sure of her career path. People stepped up and helped her along the way, leading her toward jobs where she advised students.
"I've had a whole series of people who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. They opened doors for me," she said. "I can't pay those people back, but I can pay it forward every day."
Bloom spreads that message to students, as director of USC's master's program in higher education and student affairs, and in appreciative advising workshops around the country. Her journey to TED is just one of her trips this summer; she's presenting at conferences around the country about appreciative advising, and in the past few months she's presented at universities from Johns Hopkins to the University of Minnesota. An appreciative advising institute is scheduled in Charleston at the end of July, with participants coming from around the country.
Bloom cites data collected from a number of institutions to back up her beliefs. The preliminary numbers indicate that students who have been appreciatively advised are retained at a higher rate.
"It's very, very hot right now. The power of it is that I'm able to take research-based as well as common sense strategies and put them into a framework that gives people what they need to help students," she said. "I think we're at the tipping point where people are realizing appreciative advising is the way advising should be done."

I am sure the girl pedaled faster rather than peddled. The two words mean very different things.

How awful! As a mom to a 12 year old girl, I immediately did something I should have done years ago - I went onto the Megan's Law site and typed in my own zip code of 94301. I urge everyone to do the same. There are 6 registered sex offenders right HERE and now I know what they look like.
Just a good thing to do. Let's stay alert, watch over ALL our kids and help them feel safe.

Great idea Cynthia. I just went to the site but I was not able to do the search. Can you share thd link that you used? Thanks

Why does an incident like this change your view about your kids biking to and from school? In the morning and when school gets out in mid-afternoon, there are lots of eyes on the street!
Truth is that many more kids are injured or killed as passengers than abducted by strangers. But since most of us drive every day, we underestimate the risk of injury inside that familiar metal box, and wildly overestimate the risk of abduction by strangers.
Plus this incident is reported to have occurred at 5:16 pm. Sunset was at 5:38 today. So if your middle school student doesn't have a buddy to ride with at that hour, maybe it's a rational choice to pick them up.
I agree with the comment above: "I am glad that this girl's parents taught her to ride a bicycle so she was able to outrun this guy." She also screamed loudly, which may also be a sign of wise parenting.

If you're afraid of stuff happening to your kids when they bike to school, then just bike along with them. Maybe do some errands afterwards before you bike home. You'll be amazed how much more fun this is than driving your kids to school every day.

This is speculation, but this man's picture looks like one of the sex offenders who lives on Alma. Would be worth having this girl look at the picture on familywatchdog.us:

Tough to find journalists who know the language. Or is the problem with the copyediting?

Problem is spellcheck. Peddling is very different from pedaling.
They can edit away at posts they don't like, but posts that point out their spelling errors are ignored. It is hard to take serious an article with such a whopper!

I see the Palo Alto Online staff removed my previous post without explanation. I was providing the Megan's website link, as well as some statistics about child safety. I was also informing residents that I am offering free self-defense classes to all students and staff through our local schools. Sorry if I did something wrong... (?)

According to the Family Watchdog site -- but not found on the Megan's Law registry as far as I can tell -- there's a registered sex offender living on Oregon Avenue, roughly 12-15 blocks from the site of this incident. From the photo and description at the Family Watchdog site, this man is a very close match to the description and sketch in the article.

This whole story sounds fishy. There are so many things that are not right about this story that I suspect the girl made it all up. It would not be the first time this has happened. A woman recently claimed a man tried to steal her child from her arms, and now she has been arrested for making false claims.

SC groups getting $2M for health care law outreach
From the Associated Press:
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Three South Carolina groups are receiving a total of $2 million to help South Carolinians sign up for insurance under the federal health care law.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced winning recipients Thursday of the Navigator grants. The $67 million went to 105 organizations in states that are letting the federal government run their online insurance marketplaces.
South Carolina is receiving $750,000 more than the federal agency previously said it set aside for community groups in the state.

Big country gasses far less than some of the more muscular fighters
Big country gasses far less than some of the more muscular fighters
for the most part it is pointless, but there are definitly some fighter who benefit from having to get down to 265. Brock Lesnar and Tim Sylvia are the first two that come to my mind.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
I imagine the 265 limit is Tim's toughest opponent these days
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
There's just not enough high level fighters/athletes of that size to warrant a division at the top end of the sport. If you're a young, legit 280lb+ athlete you're going to be pushed into something like American Football.
Pretty sure that Josh Barnett vs Semmy Schilt at UFC 32 (?) was a super heavyweight fight.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
Ah American football. The only sport with a higher concussion/minute average than mma and boxing combined.

Frankly, I think the iPad Mini's price point is spot-on considering the ridiculous price of the iPad to begin with. Every version of the Mini is exactly $170 less than its 10" counterpart. If you're already into getting raped by Apple's high prices on EVERYTHING, then $170 off of a $499 price tag for a screen just 2 inches smaller should make your rear not hurt as bad.
Shut up and stop complaining. All you idiots that keep paying Apple's ridiculous prices are the direct cause of this. If it wasn't for my company buying me every Apple product I own, then the only Apple product I'd own would be my Apple TV, the only Apple product that is worth its price.
Everyone I speak to wont be getting one, If they want an iPad they get an iPad. If they want something smaller they get an iPod.
Its priced too high to be any competition to other 7inch tablets so its a flop even before its available.
If they really wanted it to be popular they should've had it at a lower price. At that price it will be the last tablet people will buy.
iPad Mini Retina Display coming in 6 months LOL
I don't much care for the price point given it's mediocre specs. Yes, specs aren't everything, but 512MB's of RAM is a huge letdown. Games that are going to push this thing to the max are going to be starving for RAM.
I'd really like to see some new (useful) features come to iOS. It's getting a bit stale and blackberrish.
I think they should have tried launch at $299. It would have given it such a boost and ended up in millions of kid's stockings for Christmas
The price /vs value for my money says I'm not buying one. I'll wait patiently for the next version.
Are people really complainin about $30??
the main problem i see with the ipad mini is that people can get a different tablet the same size for cheaper and get a higher resolution display than what the mini offers. this is the reason i think it fails but thats just me. why take a step back from retina in a new product just to offer it in the next upgrade?
Google and Amazon clearly have an opening especially if they easily out spec the iPad mini at a lower price
This will be a "miss" and longtime Steve acolytes will say, "see, Steve never wanted a Phablet in the first place." watch...
yeah the price is a little steep(should of been between 250-275 dollars for the base model),but im still buying one since i was going to buy an ipod touch 5thgen for 299 dollars. mainly will be used for entertainment purposes and when i don't want to use my ipad2.i also like the size of the ipad mini for using inn my car.
Its clear that Apple were never going to release a $/£200 iPad regardless of its size & memory. If it had the retina display & an A6X chip like the new iPad 4th Gen will do then it would have been pushed to again the more expensive price bracket. iPad Mini's main function seems to be to obviously match the exact iPad 2 specs with a little extra boost in certain areas to make the iPad 2 obsolete. Looking at the Apple site you can't even find the iPad 3 but then again why would you want to buy that when its the same price bracket.

WASHINGTON -- The inside story on how the U.S. Secret Service busted the international hacker ring that targeted Dave & Buster's, along with several other U.S. retailers in 2007 and 2008, has been published by Ars Technica.
The hackers stole data from 240,000 credit cards. About 81,000 of those cards were breached at 11 Dave & Buster's stores in Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Texas, resulting in more than $600,000 in losses to issuing banks and other institutions.
According to Ars Technica reporter Nate Anderson, U.S. authorities used a wide range of powerful investigative weapons and partners from Europe through the Middle East to crack the case.
"The Dave & Buster's case does make one thing perfectly clear," said Anderson. "When the government intends to take you down, the resources at their disposal are phenomenal."
As Vending Times reported in July, one of the hackers was recently sentenced to seven years in prison and ordered to pay $975,000 in fines and restitution. | SEE STORY

Rascal Flatts apologizes for ACM lip-synching
Listen to Rascal Flatts on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Rascal Flatts is well-known and loved for its sweet melodies and harmonies, usually delivered pitch-perfect to their crowds of adoring fans. However, when the trio performed its new single, "Rewind," at Sunday night's Academy of Country Music Awards, things seemed a little too flawless.
Critics were quick to pick up — and comment —on the fact that the band probably was lip-synching their way through the high-profile appearance. (Yahoo Music's own Chris Willman noted, "There was no doubt in anyone's mind that what we were hearing was straight out of the studio.")
Wisely, the Flatts didn't even try to skirt — or, worse, blow off — what was obvious. On Monday night, the band posted an apology on their social media, admitting to lip-synching due to lead singer Gary LeVox losing his voice shortly before the telecast. "We've never done it before, and we obviously aren't very good at it," they observed.

I'm trying to find an image of someone using an ipad (or other tablet) taking a picture of another person (preferably a business person),or something similar to this. I've searched all the search engines and the stock image sites. Maybe I'm not posing the search question well.Any help will would be appreciated.
Chris,I searched as well to no avail. Usually when you want something very specific like that its hard to find. Have you thought about just having a photographer doing one custom image for you? Perhaps you could even just contact a commercial photographer to see if they have something like that already.
I agree with Shawn 100% for something like that, you better ask some one to photo it for you.It shall be simple and may not create problem with copy right , if you use it as commercial .Now a day taking photo is simple one, almost of mobile phone price > 50 $ is already has camera .
Open google image and search image using different keywords. If this will not work, login to forums related to photography and search image there. If you still do not find image hire someone who provide photo service.
You should do a search in Google with this words "men take a photo with a table or iPad", and then go to a Google images.
can not find anything for you, self portrait ipad, i tried.
Hi ChrisjChrisj! If you can't find on the net, I suggest you just provide one! Business people with iPad are all over the place. You can use any digital camera. You just ask a permission first to that person before you take a picture of him/her. Just explain it well. Or, ask a friend of yours that has an iPad to dress like a business person and take a shot! That would be fun, right?

Lucelia Artist Award
2005—Andrea Zittel
Andrea Zittel is the fifth winner of the museum's annual Lucelia Artist Award. Since the early 1990s, Zittel has been developing her designs for living. She formed a corporate entity A-Z Administrative Services in 1992 to facilitate the production of her furniture and her cellular and housing unit designs. In 1994, she opened A-Z East in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, N.Y., as a place where her A-Z Enterprise designs could be tested and evolve.
"I have been using the arena of my life and day-to-day activities as a site for exploration and experimentation," said Zittel. "By using myself as a guinea pig I often use my own experiences to try to construct an understanding of the world at large. I use my work in order to try to comprehend values such as 'freedom,' 'security,' 'authority' and 'expertise.' I am interested in how qualities which we feel are totally concrete and rational are really subjective, arbitrary or invented. Since I think that 'Art' is often seen as an area of expertise, a field requiring a vast body of knowledge in order to understand, I hope that my work ultimately bridges the most basic human concerns with those of contemporary artistic concerns."
Zittel was born in Escondido, Calif., in 1965. In 1988, she received a bachelor of fine arts degree from San Diego State University, and went on to earn a master of fine arts degree in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1990.
Zittel's sculptures and installations have been shown widely in the United States and Europe, particularly in Germany and the United Kingdom. In 1999, she had two large scale works on view: "A-Z Pocket Property," a 54-ton floating concrete island anchored off the coast of Denmark that was commissioned by the Danish government and "A-Z Point of Interest," two large artificial rock formations located at a busy entrance to Central Park that was commissioned by the Public Art Fund.
In 2000, she moved most of her experiments in designs for living to A-Z Enterprise West in Joshua Tree, Calif. Zittel also co-organizes "High Desert Test Sites," an ongoing project that provides free space for artists interested in creating long-term or experimental projects in the desert. Zittel's work was included in the 2004 "Biennial Exhibition" at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. A major touring exhibition of her work, titled "Andrea Zittel: Critical Space," opens at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston in October 2005. Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York City and Regen Projects in Los Angeles represent Zittel.

Newsweek gave no context to Sen. Clinton's criticism of "un-Christian" immigration proposal
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
A Newsweek article regarding Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) criticism of a recent immigration bill suggested that Clinton was seizing on the opportunity to inject religion into the debate. In fact, numerous religious leaders have leveled similar criticism at sponsors of legislation that would critics say would punish "good Samaritans."
In an article in the April 3 edition of Newsweek, White House correspondent Holly Bailey reported that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) was "elbowing for attention" and "whacked the GOP with the Bible" when she "impl[ied that] anti-immigration proposals were not only hardhearted, but un-Christian." Bailey's wording suggested that Clinton was seizing on the opportunity to inject religion into the debate. In fact, numerous religious leaders have leveled similar criticism at sponsors of legislation that would critics say would punish "good Samaritans."
Clinton, speaking about the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act (H.R. 4437) at a March 22 press conference, said: "It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scripture, because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself." She was referring to a section of the bill, which passed the House of Representatives in 2005, that threatens up to five years of imprisonment to anyone who:
assists, encourages, directs, or induces a person to reside in or remain in the United States, or to attempt to reside in or remain in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such person is an alien who lacks lawful authority to reside in or remain in the United States.
From the April 3 edition of Newsweek:
Instead, the immigration debate has split the GOP, with many Republicans in the House and Senate, worried about alienating voters, openly opposing the president. In December, the House tossed aside the worker program and passed a bill that features tougher security at the Mexican border -- including Tancredo's cherished fence -- and crackdowns on illegals who are already here. "You can't ignore him," says a GOP leadership aide who wouldn't be named because he wanted to keep his job. "The administration doesn't want to hear this, but a lot of Americans think he's right."
In the Senate, Republicans, led by John McCain [R-AZ] and Arlen Specter [R-PA], have been working to come up with a compromise that would include border security, a guest-worker program and a way for illegal immigrants to "earn" citizenship. But Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist [R-TN], a presidential contender with one eye on the anti-immigration vote -- and the other one on outflanking McCain -- has threatened to put forward his own get-tough plan this week if the senators fail to come through.
It's not just Republicans elbowing for attention. Last week Sen. Hillary Clinton whacked the GOP with the Bible, implying anti-immigration proposals were not only hardhearted, but un-Christian. The bill, she said, "would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."
As Media Matters for America noted, Clinton's argument is one also voiced by various religious organizations and leaders. In a March 1 statement issued on behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which "strongly opposes H.R. 4437," Washington, D.C., archbishop Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick warned that the bill "would extend to U.S. citizens ... including those, such as our own parishioners, who offer, in an act of mercy, basic sustenance to an undocumented migrant." In a March 22 New York Times op-ed, Cardinal Roger Mahony, Catholic archbishop of Los Angeles, wrote: "As written, the proposed law is so broad that it would criminalize even minor acts of mercy like offering a meal or administering first aid."

Good Shoe...but over exagerated.
By Cindy
from Redfield, AR
This shoe is made of good quality materials, but "walk on air" is a bit of an exaggeration. I think they would be good for in and out of the house use like slippers with a good sole. They were a bit long on my feet and the sole felt hard. I think they would feel comfy to people who don't have sensitive feet.
Not cushy enough
By tomtom
from Salt Lake City, Utah
I need more cushion so thought "Walk on Air" would be the solution but,sadly, they don't have adequate cushioning for my poor old feet.
Oh my! They are so comfortable.
By George
from Prescott Valley, AZ
Upon trying them on, she wore them the rest of the day and continued to gush about how comfortable they are.

Top notch well made product
By Gigi
from Louisiana swamp
I suffer from sometimes swollen feet and have difficulty finding shoes to accommodate this. These slides feel like they have been custom made for me, if the feet or swollen or not, they fit!! They are a quality shoe and are so comfortable, I am ordering the black also. They do not slip sideways, and hold the foot steady. Wonderful, wonderful shoe!!
Like walking on a board
By Redrover
from Conchas Dam, NM
No cushioning at all. Otherwise seemed well made. I returned them.

The Rice Alliance announced the most promising Life Science companies at the 8th Annual Life Science Technology Venture Forum in Houston this week, the largest life science venture capital conference in the Southwest. Life Science companies from all across the U.S. showcased their new ventures for an audience of more than 420 attendees, including investors, venture capitalists, industry representatives, business leaders, advisors/mentors, service providers, and entrepreneurs.
Cynthia A. Doerr, M.D., partner, Essex Woodlands Health Ventures said of the presenters, "This is one of the most mature groups of healthcare-related company presentations that I have reviewed in Houston, and I intend to follow their progress closely."
The one day event culminated in an announcement of the Most Promising Life Science Companies chosen from more than 40 competitors and judged by the Rice Alliance Life Science Advisory Board, based on the companies' elevator pitch presentations. The exercise simulates meeting an investor on an elevator and having only 90 seconds to convince them to invest in your company.
In addition, five other new life science technology companies were pre-selected to present their 10 minute business plan presentation at the forum, and as one of the chosen five, were also named a Most Promising Life Science Technology Company. Rice Alliance Managing Director Brad Burke, announced the winners of the Most Promising Life Science Company awards at the event. "It is rewarding to see companies that hold such promise to improve people's lives by curing cancer, treating chronic pain, improving neonatal care, diagnosing previously undetected hypertension, and addressing other diseases." Top Five Most Promising Companies, based on their business plan presentations:

Fitzpatrick Slams Albany Culture
Evoking a Watergate-era quote, a veteran Central New York prosecutor says ``There's a cancer in the state Legislature.''
Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick made the comment Tuesday in Albany. He and the other 61 district attorneys statewide support a bill to give them more power to root out government corruption.
Fitzpatrick says proof of the cancer is that more than 30 state officials have been hit by scandal over the last seven years.
He says local prosecutors work closely with federal prosecutors who have handled most of the corruption cases. But Fitzpatrick says Albany corruption is a crime against New Yorkers and has cost millions of dollars.
The Republican was paraphrasing then-White House Counsel John Dean, who told President Richard Nixon in 1973 that there was a cancer on the presidency.

Organizers announce first wave of 2014 SXSW performers
Organizer's behind next year's South by Southwest Music Festival have already booked the first wave of performers.
The initial lineup for the Austin, Texas event features acts like home state rockers Los Lonely Boys, British metal band Bring Me the Horizon, and singer-songwriter Jessica Lea Mayfield, who previously worked with the Black Keys.
As it stands now, the lineup includes a total of 183 acts. But "Rolling Stone" points out that that's only a small portion of the more than 2,000 performers who will take one of the many stages at South by Southwest when the list is complete.
The 2014 gathering is scheduled to take place March 7th through the 16th.

Mitral stenosis
Mitral stenosis
Mitral stenosis is a heart valve disorder that narrows or obstructs the mitral valve opening. Narrowing of the mitral valve prevents the valve from opening properly and obstructs the blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. This can reduce the amount of blood that flows forward to the body. The main risk factor for mitral stenosis is a history of rheumatic fever but it may also be triggered by pregnancy or other stress on the body such as a respiratory infection, endocarditis, and other cardiac disorders.

Got aggressions that need to be worked out? Love heavy music? Wanna be as lean as Tommy Lee? Kirsten Potenza and Cristina Peerenboom, who love drumming, dance and fitness, have developed what may be the next major phenomenon in exercise: Pound. Slamming drumsticks into the floor as hard as you can while doing specially tailored Pilates and cardio routines might seem like raucous fun, but this is no "get physical" fad. The gals have developed special resin sticks ("ripstix") that provide resistance that goes beyond wood. The room takes on a primal, almost hypnotic feel when everyone is pounding in unison. There are no self-conscious leg-warmer types here, either. The instructors wear faded rock tees and Chucks. The classes are packed and very loud (some participants wear earplugs). If it sounds like the pit at a rock concert, it kinda is — especially the post-show euphoria part. Only here, you're the rock star. Classes are currently available at local Crunch Fitness locations. poundfit.com.

Say you're a die-hard soccer fan who wants to watch the Galaxy when they're out of town, or even a particular foreign match. Unless you've got a super-amazing cable package, you're out of luck, because your local sports bar isn't likely to change the channel from golf. Fortunately, the folks out at Alpine Village have dedicated themselves to showing every possible match. (And, yes, that's the same Alpine Village where you celebrate Oktoberfest every year.) They show everything they can when they're open, and even extend their hours for high-profile matches. That means every elimination-round match, as well as every Germany and every Croatia match, no matter when they air. Finally, footie fans, safe harbor! 833 W. Torrance Blvd., Torrance.

If there were an alien invasion, or an outbreak of Ebola virus, or nuclear fallout on the Westside, self-contained neighborhood hub Mar Vista Lanes would be the place to hole up for a few weeks. Besides air hockey, a full arcade and $10 unlimited bowling from 9 p.m. till midnight Monday through Thursday, Mar Vista Lanes is home to Pepy's Galley, the pirate-themed diner that serves up Mexican and continental fare (or whatever else you might want — "If we have the ingredients, we can make it special for you because Pepy's here to please!" a note on the menu reads). That's not all — the building also houses a divey, mirror-walled bar that has a jukebox stocked with indie deep cuts (Battles, Panda Bear, Funeral-era Arcade Fire), and a bowling supply shop run since 1974 by mustachioed pro Phil Yoakum. 12125 Venice Blvd., Mar Vista.

The 3-mile Tomato Pie Walk in Silver Lake sounds like no big deal until you realize it involves climbing up 735 steps and down 610 steps. Somehow you end up right where you started — the Tomato Pie Pizza Joint. It's a serious workout, followed by a serious helping of pizza. The Los Angeles Stairstreet Advocates, led by Dave Ptach, organizes this walk most Tuesday nights. It's an uncommonly intimate experience, for L.A. The stairs bring you right up to people's living room windows, at an hour when they're getting home and cooking dinner and watching TV. It's nearly urban, yet it's also secluded. Great views, too.

Baring one's body (especially the belly area) obviously takes a certain level of confidence and comfort, but covered or uncovered, moving the tummy and hips in a focused and sensual manner is not easy. At Dance Garden L.A., even the most timid will learn to love doing both if they keep up with classes. The intimate Atwater Village studio, owned by dancers Jenna Rose and Zahra Zuhair, offers extensive bellydance instruction for all levels and ages, with styles including Bellydance, Tribal Fusion, Bollywood, samba and more. All are welcome, but the woman power is especially palpable and always encouraging, never intimidating. "Magical" Mondays offer all levels of belly moves throughout the evening, while Tuesdays focus on specific skills such as cymbals and veil work. Hump night belongs to scene queen Princess Farhana, who attracts students ranging from housewives to burlesque babes to punk chicks. We recommend this one both for her witty repartee (and Hollywood rock-scene anecdotes) and for the kick-ass — or rather kick-abs — workout. 3407 Glendale Blvd., Atwater Village.

Move over, Dita Von Teese. Burlesque isn't just for the stage anymore, thanks to Hells Belles Burlesque, a five-person troupe whose training ranges from ballet to fire dancing, which has transformed the centuries-old seductive art form with a rock & roll twist. Tucked in a high-rise dance studio near Hollywood & Highland, the troupe teaches classes and workshops to students of all stripes, who explore their sexuality in a comfortable, safe environment — and get a pretty serious, sweat-inducing workout. The one-hour classes include classic burlesque moves and intense choreography performed to the likes of Aerosmith's "Crazy," while students tone their muscles and increase their flexibility between hair swings. It's also a big confidence booster and cheap therapy for women going through tough times in their personal lives, says Hells Belles' Natasha Vee, whose class is wildly popular. The group also offers bachelorette-party packages and special-occasion classes if you prefer to conduct your thrusting a little more privately. IDA Hollywood, 6755 Hollywood Blvd., Hlywd.

Mares Flexa 5-4-3mm Women's Wetsuit
Dive Pink & Fight Breast Cancer, Includes a $10 Donation
Dive Pink & Fight Breast Cancer, Includes a $10 Donation
The Flexa family is the highest expression of Trilastic. Flexa uses different thickness for different areas of the body, 100% ultra-stretch high quality neoprene, with unparalleled finish and attention to detail. Suit is equipped with a Back Zipper with smooth neoprene flap for more comfort and isolation. New rubber tag custom closure and back zipper puller with leash. Back Protection System (BPS): an additional layer of neoprene stitched in the back provides additional comfort and thermal protection.
Trilastic concept was born out of intelligence and superior stylistic technology. The concept offers versatility in a wide range of environments and transcends various water temperatures with minimal layering. Too much material in the wrong places can result in pointless bulk and unnecessary buoyancy. The idea is to minimize the thickness in the regions not requiring critical heat retention and making the suit easier to duff and don. Thinner more flexible neoprene, gives you more comfort. Overwhelmingly accepted, the materials for this concept start with a high tech plush material cushioning the skin and generating warmth, superior sealing materials and construction lock in the water that your body warms. A super elastic materials properly placed provide a greater range of movement. This combination of materials, their arrangement in specific areas creates a line of intelligent wet suits.
The BPS takes inspiration from the Mares BCD line. By adding a wide additional neoprene layer in the lumbar region, the diver benefits in multiple ways. The added neoprene adds warmth to a critical area of the body. It also fills the empty space in the back that sometimes allows water to seep and move causing the diver to get cold faster. The added neoprene also adds padding and protection to the back when wearing a heavy cylinder system on the beach or boat deck.
Custom neck closure system allows for an easy customization of the neck fitting. Velcro neck folds in on itself when needed to eliminate snagging of the plush lining or neoprene. Flexa has a front zipper with skin-on-skin zipper seal for superior water seal. Supratex knee pads, protection made of anti-scratch polyurethane not only looks sharp, but is engineered for high strength and protection without compromising flexibility. The linear design moves in line with your body while still guarding this high wear area.
The internal thermo plush lining is soft, smooth, durable and allows increased freedom of movement, guaranteeing extreme mobility. Its refined finish keeps you warmer yet, prevents the suit from retaining water promoting fast drying between and after diving. All seams are triple glued and double blind stitched for superior strength, durability and waterproof seals. The Flexa 5, 4, 3mm Neoprene Trilastic suit comes in multiple sizes and is black in color.
DIVE PINK & FIGHT BREST CANCER! For every Pink Suit sold $10 will be donated to fight breast cancer
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.
Reviewed by 3 customers
The suit arrived in just a few days, the same great service and shipping I've come to appreciate from Leisure Pro.
love this suit for diving in Roatan, Bonaire. Has the warmth needed but it is ready to get on and off.
I love this wetsuit! I got it as a hand-me-down from a friend so I'm not exactly sure what size it was but i would say it was an extra small. I'm 5'3" and small chested; I found it perfect for my body type and it adjusted itself to the curves of my body, including my butt which is on the big side for a girl my size. I dive in caribbean waters and it stays perfectly warm. I used it mainly on night dives or at the end of the day when i started getting chilly after a full day of diving. It's super durable, I can attest to this cause i was wearing it one day when we got pushed into some sharp rocks. Not one single tear or snag.

#8 Men's Lacrosse Upends Sixth-Seeded Saint A's, 14-6, Advances to NE-10 Semifinals
Links: Box Score
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – Sophomore midfielder Tim Towler (Topsfield, Mass.) buried a career-high five goals for the hosts, leading the third-seeded and No. 8 Merrimack College men's lacrosse team to a 14-6 blowout victory at home over sixth-seeded Saint Anselm in the opening round of the 2014 Northeast-10 Men's Lacrosse Championship on Tuesday night at Martone-Mejail Field.
The Basics
Score: #8 Merrimack 14, Saint Anselm 6
Records: #8 Merrimack (11-4) | Saint Anselm (6-9)
Location: Martone-Mejail Field | North Andover, Mass.
How It Happened
Entering the NE-10 Championship as the No. 3 seed, Merrimack blew past Saint Anselm by outscoring the Hawks in every quarter in Tuesday's first round, including a 7-2 edge in the first to set the tone.
The Warriors took that five-goal lead and made it a seven-goal edge after 30 minutes before both sides traded goals in the third; leading by a 12-5 margin after 45 minutes, Merrimack wrapped up its first postseason victory since a 13-12 NE-10 Semifinal win in 2012 with two more goals in the final frame to account for the final margin of victory.
Towler's five markers led all players on the turf Tuesday and highlighted a group of eight total Warriors who find the twine, including two-goal efforts from junior Andrew Vivian (Slingerlands, N.Y.) and freshman Tucker Schwarz (Tallahassee, Fla.), as well as individual tallies off the sticks of senior Mike Perdie (Wading River, N.Y.), junior Jamie Shand (Massapequa, N.Y.), sophomore Ryan Poirier (Warwick, R.I.), sophomore Scott Corcoran (Haverhill, Mass.), and senior Paul Gallagher (Simsbury, Conn.).
In net, freshman Dom Madonna (Liverpool, N.Y.) improved to 9-2 on the year after posting eight saves, while junior Morgan Green (Portsmouth, R.I.) manned the final 4:45 in net and added three saves in a quick span.
Inside The Numbers
- Merrimack outshot Saint A's by a 48-34 margin on the night, including a 27-17 edge in shots on goal
- The Warrior defense finished with five caused turnovers, including a team-high two disruptions from freshman Brennen Morin (Wilbraham, Mass.)
- Merrimack controlled the ground balls category (39-32) and was successful on 20-of-24 clears, with Corcoran scooping up a team-high 10 ground balls
- Merrimack's man-up offense went 2-for-4 on the night while holding Saint A's off the board on five extra-man opportunities for the Hawks
Up Next
With the win Tuesday, Merrimack will take its talents to Syracuse, N.Y., to square off with reigning league and national champion Le Moyne, the No. 2 seed in this year's NE-10 Championship, on Friday (May 2). Opening faceoff is set for 1 p.m.

Faith No More Announces First New Album In 18 Years
Listen to Faith No More Radio on iHeartRadio
Faith No More has officially announced plans to return with their first new album in 18 years.
Bassist Bill Gould tells Rolling Stone the as-yet-untitled record will be out in April of next year, and he says it will be a totally independent product. Gould is producing the album himself, the band is recording it in their own Oakland rehearsal space, and they plan to release it on their new imprint, Reclamation Records.
Gould says it feels like they "own the future" more than ever. And he adds that part of that future will include a full U.S. tour behind the new album, although they haven't booked any specific dates just yet.
Faith No More plans to release the first single from the upcoming album on November 28th as part of Record Store Day's Black Friday event. The group debuted the track - titled "Mother [[expletive]]" - earlier this summer at a concert in London's Hyde Park.

Cost Of Jindal's Efficiency Contract Has Nearly Doubled
The price tag has nearly doubled for Gov. Bobby Jindal's hiring of an outside consulting firm to recommend new ways to balance the state budget.
The contract for Alvarez & Marsal was worth $4.2 million when the New York-based company was hired in December. But the contract since has been bumped up to $7.4 million, according to the Legislative Fiscal Office.
In June, the consulting firm's report outlined proposals to save the state $2.7 billion over five years, either by cutting costs or increasing state revenue.
The fiscal office says the administration's contract costs increased because Alvarez & Marsal is helping state agencies to implement its recommendations.
Costs for the consultant could grow even further, because the contract doesn't end until December 2016 and new tasks could be added.

Allan Arbus, "M*A*S*H" Psychiatrist, Dead At 95
(Los Angeles, CA) -- Actor Allan Arbus, best known for playing psychiatrist Major Sidney Freedman on TV's "M*A*S*H," has died.
"The New York Times" says Arbus died last Friday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 95. The New York-born actor also made regular appearances on shows such as "Taxi," "Starsky & Hutch" and "Matlock" in the 1970s and 1980s. But it was for his role on "M*A*S*H" that he is best remembered. Arbus was married to photographer Diane Arbus who took her own life in 1971, two years after they divorced. He is survived by his second wife Marieclare Costello and three daughters.

Computers Are Making Us More Coordinated
Using computers is improving your motor skills.
Scientists have released new research showing that clicking on all those cat videos is actually improving your fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination.
The study shows people's ability to translate training that involves moving a mouse and clicking items on a screen reveals that the human brain is able to apply the same skills to other tasks that require using hands.
Moving a pointer onscreen with a mouse is also changing the way we think and perceive three-dimensional space.
The researchers say this means computer games can be used to help stroke patients improve their motor skills.

Microsoft Defends Windows RT, Says It Will Get Better with Time
Shane McGlaun

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Microsoft's Michael Angiulo
(Source: Business Insider)
Windows RT may already be turning to vinegar
Microsoft continues to defend its sagging Windows RT operating system. So far one of the only products that run the operating system is Microsoft's own Surface RT tablet, which has seen very low sales. Earlier this month, sales of the Microsoft Surface family of tablets
missed targets
and analysts reduced their sales forecasts.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer continues to insist that Surface is a "
real business
", but sales figures suggest otherwise. Major Microsoft partner Samsung has
that it won't be releasing a Windows RT tablet in the United States because of poor demand. Samsung has left the door open to introduce a RT device later if the market demands it. So far, that demand seems unlikely.
recently had an interview with Microsoft corporate vice president for Windows planning Michael Angiulo. During the talk the Microsoft executive spent some time focusing on what makes Windows RT important for Microsoft.
Angiulo stated, "It was a ton of work for us and we didn't do the work and endure the disruption for any reason other than the fact that there's a strategy there that just gets stronger over time. Looking at things now like power performance and standby time and passive [fanless] form factors. When we launched windows 8, it was really competitive with a full-sized iPad. A lot of that was made possible by the ARM [chip] architecture."
In addition, Angiulo talked a bit about complaints of legacy software not working on Windows RT. He said, "People are talking about legacy desktop software not running, but they don't think about the customer benefit of only running modern apps. The only apps that you install from the Windows store are the kind, that as a customer, you can manage your rights to."
Angiulo also believes that ARM-powered tablets will have a higher percentage shipping that feature mobile broadband because the devices have longer battery life the comparable Intel platform devices. Battery life is a big selling factor for ARM-powered devices, and increased power consumption continues to be a downside to Intel hardware in the tablet and mobile market.
"I mean, if you wanna break down someone's door, why don't you start with AT&T, for God sakes? They make your amazing phone unusable as a phone!" -- Jon Stewart on Apple and the iPhone

What type of carrier do you use?
As a mum to four, I have tried out almost every type of baby carrier there is. I have a few personal favourites, and ones that I found worked better at certain times. I noticed the book Babywearing by Maria Blois and I think it would be a fantastic read for anyone that is pregnant. When I was pregnant with my first, I was overwhelmed with all of the choices for carriers. I never knew there could be so many different styles, and finding the best one was difficult. Over time, I finally settled on a few that I liked for different occassions. I prefer buckle carriers or mei tais for longer trips, and I like ring slings for quick trips to the store.
So, what type of carrier do you use? Do you use different carriers depending on where you are going?

I also have four children and have tried out just about every carrier out there. I love ring slings for newborns, hands down I think they are the best option out there. I also think wraps work well for young babies.
After around 4-6 months old the Ergo, a type of structured carrier, is the very best in my opinion. I like that it feels so secure and I can chase around my older kids without worrying that my youngest will tumble out. I have also had success with mei tais for older babes.
I sometimes carry my two youngest at the same time (they are only 16 months apart). When that is the case, the oldest goes on my back in the structured carried and the baby goes in the front, usually in a wrap. I have seen some women use two ergos for tandem carries.

Well with my first son I used a different type of carrier which I know you have used as well. I am now about to start the sling carrier which wraps the baby up a lot more securely and everything. I guess there is no best option, you just have to see what you like and what is comfortable for you and your baby. I don't know which one I will like most, but I will see what happens after I have my second one.

I find a lot of my clients like the wrap type slings - while they are a little more involved to put on they are really versitle. At one of our Pregnancy and Parenting Network get togethers the women had the opportunity to try out the diffferent types of wraps - you can see the photos on this thread of the forum.

I was summoned one evening by old L'Amour, to my uncle's room.
The head of every young French nobleman is full of two things, honor and L'Amour courtois.
The hey-day in my blood was tame; I had no desire to fall into L'Amour at that season.
She obeys, demanding favour only for a little statue of Eros: "L'Amour est un vertu rare."
L'Amour propre de ceux qui l'ont recherch s'est trouv bless de ses refus.
A L'Amour satisfait tout son charme est t—When love is satisfied all the charm of it is gone.
L'Amour, L'Amour, toujours L'Amour, with Count Anthony Hamilton!
L'Amour est le roman du cur, / Et le plaisir en est l'histoire—Love is the heart's romance, pleasure is its history.
Finally he mounted the rostrum, and his lectures on L'Amour were the talk of the gay city.
"Pour les mes bien nes, L'Amour ne compte pas le nombre des annes," said Mr. Wenham, with a gallant air.

House and Senate tax committee members are finally putting pen to paper and drafting comprehensive reform legislation. Industry groups are getting nervous as lawmakers have warned that key parts of the Internal Revenue Code are on track for major changes or outright repeal.
Of particular concern to AED and NAEDA is the fact that "last in, first out" (LIFO) tax accounting method and like-kind exchanges (LKE) are apparently both in the crosshairs. Lawmakers are looking for revenues everywhere and LIFO in particular is a big target.
Because Senate Finance and Ways & Means Committee meetings have been private, we don't have certain information on what has been discussed or decided at this point. However, we have heard from sources that LIFO and LKE are in danger and action is needed to inform Ways & Means Committee Republicans about the importance of both.
If you have 10 minutes, please send a personalized letter to your lawmakers, particularly if you have a location in the district of a Ways & Means or Finance Committee member. Thanks to AED, in a cooperative effort, they have made it easy as possible to send a letter by following these steps.
1. Download a pre-drafted letter urging lawmakers to protect LIFO and/or LKE here:
a. LIFO
b. LKE
2. Place the letter on your company letterhead and complete the bracketed information specific to your company. Don't forget to address the letter(s) to your senators/representatives. Save the letter and convert to a PDF file.
3. Look up your lawmakers' tax staffer and e-mail the letter to her/him. A complete list of tax staffers can be found here.

Sens. Paul, Cruz: We'll Filibuster Gun Control
(NEWSER) – If Harry Reid goes forward with a possible gun-control measure, he'll face a filibuster, say three Republican senators. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee have penned a letter to the Senate majority leader, saying, "We will oppose the motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions." They don't actually use the word "filibuster,"Politico notes, but their meaning is clear. The bill would expand background checks and toughen rules on interstate gun trafficking; it could also contain amendments limiting clip capacity and some assault weapons, though those measures wouldn't pass, Politico adds.

BOULDER, CO -- ShelfX's Vending Fridge is officially rolling off the production line. The unique take on automatic retailing won the National Automatic Merchandising Association's Innovation Award two years in a row.
Royal Vendors (Kearneysville, WV) is manufacturing the Vending Fridge, a novel merchandising system features a "smart shelf" equipped with sensitive scales that know the exact quantity and identity of products stocked on it. The machine also "knows" what customers remove or return to the shelf, and adjusts accordingly before processing the payment. Through wireless communication, the machine updates a customer's account and bills automatically.
New Vending Fridge customers begin by downloading the ShelfX app onto their mobile phones to create an account. They then point their phones at the Vending Fridge to scan a QR code that unlocks the door of the refrigerated merchandiser, allowing access to foods and beverages inside. Customers can also use an NFC-enabled XCard, which functions the same as the app, or swipe a credit card.
ShelfX is targeting Vending Fridge placement at hotels, retail stores, gyms, schools and libraries in need of flexible food vending solutions. It can merchandise a wide range of items from sandwiches and salads to fresh fruits.
