On 17 July, President Barack Obama spoke at a campaign rally in Roanoke, Virginia. It was a typical event for an incumbent president who is seeking a second term. In his remarks, he offered his vision of government's role in spurring entrepreneurship and creating jobs in the United States:
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the internet so that all the companies could make money off the internet."
They built that: how a Republican lie turned into an alternate universe

Helmut Newton at the Annenberg Space for Photography
The king of kink comes to LA in an exhibition of large format photography
As the photographer credited with defining the genre of black-and-white fashion photography, Helmut Newton is nevertheless rarely found outside the pages of books and magazines. That's why our ears perked up when the Annenberg Space for Photography announced plans to exhibit over 100 large-scale images from Newton's first three books "White Women," "Sleepless Nights" and "Big Nudes." For LA-based photography enthusiasts, it's a chance to marvel at life-size prints from "the king of kink."
Accompanying the photographs are two documentary films on Newton. "Helmut by June" is a personal look at the photographer's life by his wife of 56 years, June Newton, while "Provocateur" is an original film commissioned by the Annenberg Space for Photography that addresses Newton's influence on fashion, women and photography. Whether you go for gender reversal, light play or architectural composition, Helmut's oeuvre has a hundred ways to hook you.
"Helmut Newton: White Women, Sleepless Nights, Big Nudes" was originally organized for the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston in 2011. However now in LA, the show will run at the Annenberg Space for Photography 29 June through 8 September 2013, at which point it will embark on a European tour.

The following two statement in the copyright text in the schema files (e.g. http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd ) concern me: * This document and the technology which it describes are distributed under licenses restricting their use, copying, distribution, and decompilation. * No part of this document may be reproduced in any form by any means without prior written authorization of Sun and its licensors, if any. Considering the first point, we need to determine what license the files are under. Seems we need written authorization for the second point. The concern regarding copyrights for the schemas came to mind whilst testing the geronimo eclipse plugin, eclipse prompted me to acknowledge the Sun license at http://developers.sun.com/license/berkeley_license.html when caching the j2ee schema files (e.g. http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd ). I can't find anything to confirm that the berkeley license displayed by eclipse is the correct license for the schemas. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Hi, I am overweight (5'9" weigh 225 lbs) and carry most my weight in the mid-abdominal section. My measurements are 43" on the butt 43" on my waist. I want to undergo the procedure. At my original consultation the doctor advised he could extract a maximum of 2.5 Litres of fat. I really hope he can do more. Will all the fat that is extracted be injected back into my buttocks? If so, how much volume (inches) can I expect to gain in my butt and how much can I expect to lose on my waist?
Doctor Answers 6
Brazilian Butt Lift.......Proportions
Hey Curious In Toronto!
Yes, it is all a matter of proportions. Having a measurement of 43 both of your waist and your hips means you are pretty straight. Removing fat around your waistline (not just your abdomen) will significantly reduce this number, maybe even to 36 or 38. The largest reduction I have seen in one of my patients from liposuction of the waistline alone was 8 inches. Not that everyone can lose that many inches, but it can make a huge difference in your shape. Then you will have curves!
As far as how much fat can be removed.... It depends on your health, how much fat you have in that area that can be removed, as well as the surgeon who is performing the procedure for you and the setting in which they work. In some states, there are regulations which limit how much fat can be removed in a doctors office (sometimes as low as 1000cc). There are also recommendations by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons as to how much can safely be removed if the procedure is done in an outpatient surgery center. If the procedure is performed in a hospital and you spend the night, more fat can safely be removed.
Without seeing you it is difficult for me to know how much fat you have to be removed from that area, but judging by your height and weight and your statement that you carry most of your weight in your midsection, I would have to say that 2.5 liters is awfully low! I often remove 6-8 liters from that area.
Also, if you are concerned about how much fat you will be getting placed back into your buttocks...... 2.5 liters of liposuction typically equals about 1 - 1.2 liters of fat after all of the excess fluid, (blood, oils from dead fat cells and tumescent solution) is removed. That will only provide about 500 - 600cc of fat per cheek.
You should also take into consideration that your BMI is over 30 (Actually it is 33.3). When your BMI is over 30 it has been shown that patients tend to have more complications. Weight loss to bring your BMI below 30 would therefore be a good idea to make the surgery safer for you. You will still get a beautiful result!

Brazilian Butt Lift
You are right " It is a matter of proportions".
You may be able to take out 2.5 liters from the abdomen. Not all that is pure fat, there is a lot of fluid and dead cells. The fluid need to be removed, fat washed and the pure fat transfered. The other issue is onece you remove 2.5 liters from the abdomen, what will happen to the skin of the abdomen?
The shaping of the buttock include removing excess fat around the buttock to shape the buttocks. Removal of fat of the lower back and love handles, around the illiac crest is paramount to shaping the buttocks. The back curves and the waist curves are very important is shaping the buttock, may be more important than the actual fat transfer volume.Look at Brazilian Butt Lift as body contouring surgery, rather than just injecting fat into the buttocks. Injecting fat into the buttocks without body contouring will get lost with all the bulges of the lower back and love handles, illiac crest areas.

Its a proportions issue
Its more complicated, it depends on the type of body that you have and the results you are wishing to gain from this prosedure, if you're looking for a second opinion be sure to send us some image so that we can evaluate and make a better assesment your desired result, but at this point it is too early to tell.

Brazilian Butt Lift - A Question Of Proportions
Brazilian butt lift or fat injection into buttocks is becoming more popular. The procedure starts with liposuction to harvest the fat needed for enhancement of the buttocks. There is a science in the injection, from the way the fat is harvested, treated to prepare it for the injection, and the way it is injected. Also shaping of the buttocks involves planning to obtain a pleasing result. There are different shapes to buttocks and the injection has to correct the the appearance not just make it larger. Also liposuction technique can help reshape by working more on the hips and waste line to start the process. As for the volume removed, it depends on available tissue, health of the patient and safe limits set by the medical community. a few states such as Florida have placed safe legal limits on amount of fat that can be removed. As for the amount injected, if there is adequate supply of fat up to 750 cc or more can be used to augment the buttocks.

Book Review: The Crystal Scepter by C.S. Lakin
Published 11:30 am, Monday, February 4, 2013
C.S. Lakin delivers yet another brilliant, earthy, complex "fairy tale for adults" in The Crystal Scepter, the latest in her series The Gates of Heaven. Lakin weaves qualities of Shakespearean drama, historical fiction, fairy-tale adventure, mythical magic, and a fantasy style not unlike C.S. Lewis yet wholly her own.
A young king, Pythius, who murdered his own father for his crown and who will stop at nothing for the ultimate prize (of immortality and supreme power) pays the ultimate price-but his endeavor to circumvent his fate eventually seals it.
Meanwhile, Perth, a fisherman's son with an unlikely past, discovers that "the heart of the matter is a matter of the heart" when-shrimp of a boy that he is, and often ridiculed-he vows to protect his village from an evil sea monster and sets off on a hero's journey to fulfill his promise, realizing his destiny instead.
The Crystal Scepter is not something to read when one is tired or harassed by the day-when I read it at night I swiftly became frustrated at the many layers of significance to each passage, the richly allegorical prose, and the apparently unnecessary repetition of certain points.
However, reading it on a Sunday afternoon was delightful, enlightening, and such a fantastic ride that even knowing the Greek mythology (the story of Perseus and Medusa) that is the heart of the tale, there was so much else woven in that I could not anticipate the ending. I had goosebumps with the last sentence, left with an overall sensation of appreciation, peace, musing, and hope.
I am unfamiliar with the scripture that is referenced, but this seems to be Christian fiction that all faiths (or those without a recognized "faith") could enjoy. (There is also a wonderful discussion/reading guide at the back.)

Wil Cordero applauds after scoring the go-ahead run in Montreal's seven-run seventh inning against Philadelphia. Montreal moved within two games of the Phillies and Marlins in the NL wild-card race.
Paul Chiasson/AP
MONTREAL - Wil Cordero hit a pair of two-run doubles as the Montreal Expos rallied from an eight-run deficit and beat the Philadelphia Phillies 14-10 Tuesday night.
Montreal fell behind 8-0 after five innings, and were trailing 10-4 before scoring seven runs in the seventh, highlighted by Cordero and Jose Vidro's two-run doubles.
The Expos won their third straight and moved within two games of Philadelphia for the NL wild card.
Ricky Ledee had his first two-homer game and drove in four runs, and Mike Lieberthal had three hits and two RBIs for the Phillies, who have lost four straight and are 1-7 on a season-high 13-game road trip.
Todd Zeile and Brian Schneider singled off Terry Adams to begin the seventh. Zeile advanced to third on Endy Chavez's forceout, then scored on a wild pitch.
Pinch-hitter Jose Macias singled and Brad Wilkerson hit an RBI single off Dan Plesac to make it 10-6.
Williams struck out Orlando Cabrera for the second out before Jose Vidro hit a drive just to the right of the foul line on the left-field wall to draw the Expos to within 10-8.
Williams pitched around Vladimir Guerrero before walking him intentionally and Cordero followed with his double to right-center to the delight of the crowd of 12,509.
Zeile, batting for the second time in the inning, hit a grounder off Williams' glove, which caromed toward second baseman Chase Utley. Utley made a diving attempt at the ball which glanced off his glove into right field, allowing Cordero to score and make it 11-10.
Pirates 4, Marlins 3: At Pittsburgh, Jason Kendall, upset at not being traded along with Brian Giles to San Diego earlier in the day, hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning and Pittsburgh beat Florida.
Kendall singled ahead of Craig Wilson's run-scoring single in the first and doubled in the fifth, then hit his sixth homer after Marlins starter Mark Redman hit Tike Redman with a pitch in the seventh.
Kendall's three-hit night came hours after his best friend on the team, Giles, was dealt to the Padres in a long-rumored four-player deal. Kendall expected to be included, and Giles told reporters the catcher was disappointed he wasn't traded.
Cubs 7, Cardinals 4: At St. Louis, Mark Prior allowed three hits in eight sharp innings, and Randall Simon and Aramis Ramirez hit back-to-back home runs in a six-run third inning as Chicago beat St. Louis.
The Cubs won for only the third time in 14 games at Busch Stadium the last two seasons, and moved a half-game ahead of the Cardinals for second in the tight NL Central.
Brewers 7, Reds 1: At Cincinnati, Doug Davis pitched a four-hitter and Milwaukee won its eighth straight game. Geoff Jenkins had a career high-tying four hits, including a two-run homer, as the Brewers extended their longest winning streak since a nine-game string in 1997.
American League
Tigers 5, Indians 4: At Cleveland, Craig Monroe and Dmitri Young hit home runs as Detroit won its second straight game for the first time in six weeks. Nate Cornejo (6-13) snapped his five-game losing streak and gave the Tigers their first winning streak since they won three straight wrapped around the All-Star break.
The Tigers, who already have 97 losses and are threatening to break the 1962 New York Mets' modern record of 120 in a season, snapped an 11-game skid Sunday.
Cleveland lost for just the seventh time in 20 games since August 6 as Cornejo held the Indians to four runs and nine hits over 7 1-3 innings.
Jamie Walker got five outs for his third save.
White Sox 13, Yankees 2: At New York, Frank Thomas hit a huge grand slam against Roger Clemens, propelling Chicago to a big win.
Thomas homered high off the foul pole near the left-field upper deck and Magglio Ordonez followed with another long home run off the front of the center-field bleachers as the White Sox beat up the Yankees in a matchup of division leaders.
Esteban Loaiza (17-6) improved to 6-1 since the All-Star break, allowing one hit in seven innings and leaving with an 11-0 lead. He tied Toronto's Roy Halladay for the AL lead in wins.

Ian When we smudge in the context of the drum, we want to get all those outside influences away, what we might be bringing in. So when we come to that drum we only want good feelings. So when we smudge, it is a way of purifying ourselves and those that sit there at that drum so that no negativity comes around there. We only want good feelings when we are singing. And it projects when we are singing that we have no negativity around that drum.
FvR: What is the significance of using sage?
Ian: Sage is one of our four medicines. You can either use tobacco, cedar, sage or sweetgrass. It is just whatever is available to smudge that drum..
FvR: Would you describe for me the basic structure of the song you were singing.
Ian: The lead singer will start off the beat, an appropriate beat and timing and hell let out a lead. And only the lead singer will sing that first part. Its like a chant; he brings in the melody and hell sing the melody and thats the first part of that song. And then the rest of the singers, all of us together, including the lead singer will come in and second that. Well sing it and then repeat it. After that part is done youll hear check beats, sometimes called honour beats and those will come in and thats right in the middle of the song. And then the second body of the song comes right after that and that is basically the same part as the first but it cuts off after the lead. So you go into the second part, the second body of the song and then you are done. Each time through the whole song is called a push-up. Youll have four of them in a song. So it is basically repeating that whole thing, four times through. So thats how its broken up.
FvR: By push up you mean once through?
Ian: One time through is what we call a push-up. Thats from the beginning, the lead, right to the end. Thatll be a push-up, and then you will have one more. Its usually four times. Sometimes youll have intertribals and it will be five or six. So the MC or whoever is running the powwow will let you know how many times youve got to go through. If he says six times, thats six push-ups.
FvR: I noticed that it is not always the same person leading.
Ian: Well if you go back ten years or even less there used to be only one lead singer and he was the only one that led. But now there are so many singers coming up, that now theyre using all the leads. But that first person that does the first lead is usually the lead singer. So if other people are doing leads they are just coming in with that one part. But the lead singer is the one that does the first one. We have six lead singers that do leads, but we only have one boss and thats the guy you just spoke to (Eddie Robinson) and he does the lead. He sets the right tempo for the drum, for those dancers, and for the appropriate song. So even though he is not doing the second lead he is still the boss man.
FvR: Can you tell me the significance of the honour beats?
Ian: I have heard a lot of different stories, and some say they represent those thunder beings or gunshot fire. But those drums were around a long time before the gunfire came. But for dancers and singers usually it just is, if you listen you know where that song is broken up. When that honour beat comes in, different dancers do different things . Out of respect the traditional dancers will raise their eagle feathers and same with the jingle dress dancers, they will raise their fans and take those prayers up. But its more of an individual thing. But that honour beat is basically breaking up that song in the middle and when you listen to it you know where you are in the song. You got to keep your ears open when you are dancing.
FvR: What qualities would a judge be looking for in terms of a good drum?
Ian: Well it varies with different powwows. But most judges when they have a ballot and they are judging a drum, they judge all the leads. That the leads are strong and clear and the beat is in unison. You cannot have sticks going off a bit. They all have to be going at the same time, and its important that all of them are singing the same song. You dont want someone to be singing a different part of some other song. That drum area, usually they want it clean. No garbage, cigarette butts, whatever, things that you bring there. They want that area clean. It is just out of respect for the land and stuff. It reflects on you as a singer, your area. And they want to make sure that the honour beats are straight and that you stop on time. Everybody is singing on time, everybody is singing in unison, like its one voice. So its a lot of pressure for singers. Thats why we practise a lot so that we all sound like one voice.
FvR: Would you describe for me your feelings when sitting at the drum.
Ian: It is an awesome feeling. When you are sitting at the drum and your week may have been kind of heavy, and you get there and you see all your brothers and all your friends and you sit at that drum, all that practice that you put in and all that effort, it shows when you sit at that drum and start singing. And when it starts flowing and it starts to speed up your heart starts racing and youve got this big smile on the inside. You just sing your heart out. And hopefully your spirit shows through and you just sing for the people. And thats an awesome feeling. It fills you full of pride. It is all that time and effort you put into singing. Yeah its amazing.
FvR: How much practice does it take?
Ian: Well Im not done practising. Practising is non stop. You never stop practising. You know, if your ego gets in the way and you think that you are a good singer, you know then you dont practise. But we are always striving to be that much better, because we come up with new songs. Its not the same songs all the time. So you got to practise them. Make sure you have them down pat. So practising never ends. It is all about practice.
FvR: Ian would you talk about the origin of the song you were singing?
Ian: The type of singing that we do as a drum group is original style, or Northern. Its just straight vocables. There are no words in the songs. Thats just the style we prefer to sing. So I composed that song as a straight song and it can be used for intertribals or for whatever the lead singer thinks sees fit. It is all about the tempo. Today we used that song for our grand entry and we felt that it fit for this moment so thats why we sang it today. It was an honour for me to sing one of my songs.
FvR: Would you consider it to be an honour song?
Ian: Well, every song is pretty much an honour song if it is used appropriately. It comes from my spirit. We were told by a lot of elders and a lot of other singers that an honour song is one that you can sing really hard and that everybody at your group knows, one that will add spirit to the event, wake everybody up, set the tone for whatever purpose it is used for. So yeah, by all means it is an honour song.
FvR: Does the song have a name?
Ian: It is track number 7 on our CD. You know when we sat down and we were naming songs it kind of has a little flavour to it We like to put names to it; it is about individuality. Thats called Ogee Style and it kind of sets the tone about who we are as a group and where we are at. You know we could have just called them all straight but we wanted to add names to them. A lot of the songs, if you go back ten, twenty years they just say straight, straight, grass, or whatever. We came up in the generation where we listened to different styles of music and we just kind of add our own flair and our own touch to it. I called it Ogee style, That kind of suits me.
Me and Eddie grew up around the same time listening to that old school hip hop and R&B and whatever. Well its from the schoolyard we grew up in different areas of Toronto. It is kind of like taking the playground and bringing it to the drum. There is just that good feeling. Thats who we are, us singers, dont want to be all stoic. We just came to sing straight songs. Suits and ties and thats all good. Thats all about your individuality, your spirit. What you bring to that drum. We just happen to bring playground. Schoolyard. Thats about it.

Project DescriptionWhen an art collector and his wife asked us to design and build them a new home, we used their extensive collection as the genesis of the residence. Artwork fills the lower level. This sub-grade gallery is the conceptual "heart" of the home. The art flows from the main gallery into the circulation spaces of the other levels, spilling out into the hallways and vertical atriums. These "arteries" give the residence its name
The main level is clad in limestone and contains the living spaces-the living room, kitchen, dining room, and his and her offices. Five upper level bedrooms – for the couple, their two children, and two lucky guests – cantilever dramatically. They take the form of cedar-wrapped boxes with expansive wood windows screened by aluminum louvers. The deep overhangs taper down to a thin knife edge.

I decided I would try the Hollywood Lashes Semi-Permanent Lash Extensions after driving past the salon for several weeks, wondering if I should have them done for my holiday in Greece.
I have never had anything like this before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the process of the beautician applying each lash extension, one by one to my own lashes was actually quite relaxing as I didn't know how I would react to someone fiddling around near my eyes.
I wasn't overwhelmed by the resulting lashes. They were more obvious than my own lashes but for me the whole effect wasn't obvious enough. I do think this may have been the beautician's interpretation of what I would like though because I treated my daughter to a set a few days later and she arrived home with a long and lovely set of lashes that looked totally glamorous.
On holiday, my own semi-permanent lashes basically took the place of mascara. My eyes never looked naked at the pool or the beach which meant I didn't have to worry about being waterproof.
Around day five of the holiday though, I started to find the odd stray lash extension, which was strange because they looked very false and seemed to leave a big space where they had fallen from. A couple of weeks later, my Hollywood Lashes Semi-Permanent Lash Extensions, along with my holiday, were a distant memory.
I wouldn't become hooked on continually having these lashes because I don't think, for me, the effect was dramatic enough for them to replace a good quality mascara, but for a holiday I might try them again, if only to avoid the panda-eyed effect around the pool.
I actually looked up on the internet to find out if there were semi permanent eyelashes out there as I loved wearing falsh eyelashes so much but was sick of them only lasting a few days maximum and I came across the Hollywood Lashes website. I spent a while reading about the lashes and getting more and more convinced I needed them so then looked to see which salons did them. At the time I was living in Leeds and I found a salon called Boudoir Beauty that offered them so i immediately called them up and made an appointment to have the lashes applied.
When I went to have my lashes done, I simply had to lie down on a kind of bed (like in a doctors) and the lady put some protectors over my bottom lashes to keep them out of the way and also a band around the front of my hair to prevent any hairs falling down and getting stuck to my eyelashes. Then I was asked to close my eyes while she got to work. Around an hour and a half later she was finished and gave me a mirror to have a look, I was really happy as she had done them perfectly with longer ones in the outer corners and more lashes applied to give them a voluminous look without being too 'drag-queen'. I was told not to get them wet for 48 hours and then just not to use eye make up remover with oil in it.
I had quite a few comments from my colleagues at my work place about my eyelashes and 2 of the girls actually went and had theirs done at the same place as they thought mine looked so good (commission please I think Boudoir Beauty! Haha). I also met my boyfriend at a stage when I was constantly wearing these lashes and he would always go on about how lovely my eyes were (kept it quiet for the first few weeks about the lashes lol).
When the lashes are being advertised, it states that they last up to 3 months but I found that they looked really good for about 2-3 weeks then more lashes would start shedding and I would need to have them redone. If you don't fiddle with your eyes and the lashes I reckon you could probably get away with about 4 weeks before you would need them refilling.
I personally never got a refill as they were only about £20 less and obviously the lashes that aren't refilled will need refilling a couple of weeks later so I would always go for a new full set.
I think the eyelashes look fabulous and are definitely worth the money considering you pay around £15.00 a time for normal false lashes that last 1/10th of the time so if you do the maths there it is worth your while. In Leeds I was paying £55.00 a time which seems to be pretty reasonable. I am now living in London and have found a place that offers them for £50.00 which seems very good, especially considering its London, so may add more to this after I have tried them out in March (for my holiday)!
A word of warning, these lashes are extremely addictive! I felt bare without them once I'd got used to them and always went to get them done again as soon as I could get an appointment (sometimes not for a few weeks as they are so popular!).
Hollywood Lashes
Hollywood Lashes Ltd are a UK company who provide semi permanent eyelash extensions that *can* last up to 3 months. - I would note that personally after 2 weeks of having them applied almost half of them had fallen off, so I don't see how you could wear them for 3 months with no infills without them all falling out.
I have never had any other brands of eyelash extensions applied and was told that Hollywood Lashes are by far the best.
The lashes are applied individually, and each extension is applied directly to an individual, natural lash, one lash at a time via a qualified Hollywood Lashes technician. - perhaps this was the problem with mine, as whenever they fell out I would see that 2 or 3 of by lashes were attached to the 1 extension. So perhaps I had them applied by someone who wasn't the best example of the product.
The spiel from the company is that "Hollywood Lashes are weightless, waterproof, weatherproof and flexible due to a medical grade" I found that I could definitely feel the weight of them when I wore them, I was told that I should avoid getting them too wet (by the beauty therapist) and if I did get them too wet they did seem to fall out quicker.
I paid £65 for a full set of lash extensions which included a promotion of a free infill for the first time I had one. I wasn't told how much an infill costs after the first free one, and since I won't be having it done again I don't really need to know! Salons where I live charge around £65-75 for a full set and £30-40 for an infill. It all sounds fine when you think they are going to last 3 months, not so much when it's every 2 weeks you need an infill. The cost would therefore be approx £170 for 10 weeks use.
What happens at the salon
You will probably have to have a patch test of the glue to make sure you are not allergic, at least 24 hours before the application. I see that you are supposed to have 1 or 2 lashes applied as a test. I was not offered this option I just had a small blob of glue put behind my ear. Assuming everything is ok this is what would typically happen at an appointment -
I asked for the natural look which took about 50 minutes. I was told not to wear any makeup for the appointment.
My eyelashes were cleansed and then dabbed dry. The beauty therapist used a special sticky plaster type pad to stick my lower eyelashes so that if I blinked during the treatment my lower and upper eyelashes wouldn't stick together because of the glue.
Each individual eyelash was applied with tweezers, she told me that she used medium lashes in the middle and the longer ones on the outer edge. Once she had finished each eye she used this hand pump thing to blow air on the lashes which wasn't uncomfortable but I really really didn't like it, it just felt strange and I would have preferred to have just be left to dry!
I get the impression that some of the problems I have had were because the therapist applied the long extensions to premature lashes which couldn't hold them up, they kept drooping in my eye which was really irritating.
It isn't really painful having the extensions done but it is a bit irritating and I did really want to blink all the way through the treatment!
Once the treatment is complete, you will have to wait for a few minutes with your eyes closed, and then open them really slowly.
Once they were first done I was really happy with them, they looked really nice and I would still recommend them for a wedding or a honeymoon or a big holiday, but for everyday it is a massive amount of hassle. Also since I think the therapist who did mine wasn't really that good I would go on a friend's recommendation if you are having these done as you really don't want them drooping in your eye or waking up to find 10 have fallen out when you are asleep - I thought there was a spider on the pillow! This can look quite uneven, at one point I had one eye that had quite a lot of extensions and the other only had 2 left. I looked a bit mad.
There is usually no need to wear mascara after these are applied, but because they were so droopy I had to.
I would say if you have hayfever it would be a bit silly to get these done as they make you want to rub your eye anyway and with hayfever making your eyes itchy you are just asking for trouble!
Aftercare- you are not allowed to use oily makeup or makeup remover near the eye, do not go near water for at least 2 hours after they are applied and don't let a stream of water like the shower hit the eyes directly.
You also cannnot get your eyelashes tinted or permed whilst the lashes are on, but these can be done before. You have to use only water soluble mascara - I have no idea how you can check this though? My mascara doesn't have an ingredients list. You can't rub your eye either, which you don't realise how much you do until you aren't allowed!
All in all - if you have a great beauty therapist who does this for a decent price and does a good job I think it would be worth getting these done if you need long lashes for a couple of weeks. I wouldn't really bother for everyday as the expense and the hassle really isn't worth it.
In this review, I am going to talk about Hollywood Lashes from two points of view, the customer and the therapist, as I am both to Hollywood Lashes.
About Hollywood Lashes
Hollywood Lashes Ltd are a UK company who provide semi permanent eyelash extensions that can last up to 3 months. Hollywood Lashes were one of the first semi permenent eyelash extension brands and are by far the best. They add definition, volume and length to your lashes, they transform the eyes and are ideally suited to special occasions such as weddings, balls and parties as well as everyday living.
Hollywood Lashes were introduced into the UK in early 2005, the lashes are made of a soft, curved, synthetic material. Each individual extension is applied directly to an individual, natural lash, one lash at a time via a qualified Hollywood Lashes technician.
Hollywood Lashes are weightless, waterproof, weatherproof and flexible due to a medical grade, odourless and quick drying adhesive, designed to be applied to natural eyelashes. This specially formulated adhesive is the perfect bonding agent to create fabulous full, luscious eyelashes which can last up to 2-3 months depending on the life cycle of the client's natural lashes.
Individual Lash Extensions originated in Asia and since the introduction of the treatment to the UK, its popularity has escalated as more and more salons offer the treatment.
The Hollywood Lashes Kit boasts products of the finest quality and are reasonably priced. They are not the cheapest, but not the most expensive, and are by far the best, so I don't mind paying more than other products, and am definately happy to pay less than some companies charge, when their quality isn't even as good.
I trained in Hollywood Lashes last August at Ellisons training academy in Coventry. To apply Hollywood Lashes to a client, you must have attended a training course and have a certificate, which you are provided with on the day.
The application of Hollywood Lashes is not difficult and easily mastered. The main thing with this is practice, rather than knowing what to do. You are provided with a manual to help you if you forget, and I would recommend practicing on as many people as you can soon after, so it sticks in your head. I have been doing this on clients now since last August and am now fully confident, which I was from December.
The Hollywood Lashes training course will teach you through the basics such as client consultation plus every aspect of application. Theory and practical, removal, aftercare and trouble shooting is included in the course.
Hollywood Lashes main training venue is in Leeds. As well the our Leeds training venue they also have venues at Liverpool, Northampton, Shrewsbury, Bristol, Ipswich, Bath, Stockton on Tees, Ellisons at Coventry, Lancaster, Scotland and London along with mobile trainers who can visit your salon and carry out the training there, but this will have an additional cost and there must be a minimum of therapists. The training course is 1 day and is £180 per student.
Training is provided by skilled trainers who hold Teacher Training Certificates City & Guild or equivalent. The certificate you are issued with is recognised by the Guild Of Beauty Therapists who have accredited both Hollywood Lashes and all trainers.
I found the training I did very useful, the trainer knew what she was talking about and was willing to help out. At first I was worried I wasn't going to get the hang of it, but I soon did.
I purchased the Hollywod Lashes kit when I did the course, and have not run out since, I still have plently of applications left and have been using it frequently since August last year. Each kit includes everything you will need to start. In the kit you will get an: Instruction Manual and a CD Marketing Material which includes consultation cards, aftercare advice and pictures you can use to advertise which I have found very useful. This kit costs £295.00 excluding VAT, which takes it to about £320. You don't need to purchase anything on top of this to apply the lashes, it contains everything you need including a variety of sizes of black lashes and a pot each of blue, brown and purple lashes. The coloured lashes only come in one size which is the longest size, so you have to trim them all done once applied and they don't always apply so well but I have never used the blue or purple lashes, even though when I trained I was told they were extremely popular, I think this was a lie! As well as the lashes, you get a selection of glue, lash remover, all the tools you need such as tweezers and scissors and also a black volume up mascara. All the products in the kit are of high quality.
If you run out of any of the products in your kit or simply require more you can order them from Hollywood Lashes. As well as products to use, you can also purchase additional items for retail, such as the mascara and eye make up remover which is suitable for use with the lashes.
Hollywood Lashes also sell marketing material, such as brouchures and posters, although these are quite expensive, for £25 brouchures it will cost you about £20 and for an A2 poster it will cost you £10. Personally, I don't think the poster they sell is fantastic, especially for the price but it's better than a handmade one.
If you have read any of my previous reviews, you will have seen I have reviewed the Hollywood Lashes mascara - Volume Up. As my review stated, it really is excellent and it costs about £9, which isn't unreasonable. It works brilliantly with the lashes, so if you are a customer to Hollywood Lashes I would recommend it, and if you are thinking of doing Hollywood Lashes, it is definately something I would recommend retailing.
I recently placed an order with Hollywood Lashes and they have provided me with some 'Aftercare Kits' which include a mascara, eye make up remover and a eyelash comb. This isn't available on the internet but this actually saved me money than if I had of purchased the items seperately.
Your Natural Lashes
Just a quick bit of information about your natural eyelashes, so you can understand how long they last and why, and also why you can only attach a certain amount of extensions.
The human eyelash growns between 7-9mm in length and they are located in distinct rows on the eyelid. There are 90-160 eyelashes on the upper eyelid whilst the lower eyelid has only 75-80 eyelashes. The eyelashes on the upper eyelid are coarser and longer than the eyelashes on the lower lid. The eyelash grows for approximately 30 days and then rests for the rest of its life. An average life span of the eyelash is approximately 3 months, this is why Hollywood Lashes can last no longer than this, as it is attached to your own lash. For applying Hollywood Lashes, the eyelashes are split into 3 categories:
Mature - These are the longest eyelashes that are fully grow and could be prone to falling out at any time.
Premature - The premature eyelash is relatively new growth and has appeared through the eyelid by pushing out a mature eyelash. These eyelashes are very short and weak and not yet strong enough to carry an eyelash extension.
Healthy - The healthy eyelash has been growing for 2-4 weeks and is strong enough to carry an eyelash extension throughout its life. These are the eyelashes that an extension is applied to.
Applying the lashes
Before you have the full treatment, a patch test should be carried out on you, this is to ensure you are not allergic to any of the products. You should go into the salon 24 hours before the treatment and have 1 or 2 lashes applied to the outer corner of your lashes, most people don't have a problem but if you feel any irritation or swelling, you should contact your salon immediately and you shouldn't go ahead with the treatment.
To apply the natural look it will take you approximately 1 hour - 1 1/2 hours and for the glamour look it will take you approximately 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours. For a natural look approximately 25 eyelash extensions are applied per eye and for the glamour look approximately 35 eyelash extensions are applied per eye. The usual look you will give your client, is shorter lashes on the inside of your eye and longer on the outer corner, but this will always depend on the clients wishes. The application is simple, it is quite fidely but you get used to this. You have to cleanse the lashes, it is always best if the client doesn't wear eye make up prior to the treatment. Then you individually apply each lash, to do this, which one pair of the tweezers, you section out the eyelash you want to apply the extension to, then you select the correct sized extension, swipe it through the glue and then 'drop' onto the lash 1/3 of the way down. Rub it up and down on the sides and ensure the extension is attached. You then have to wait a few minutes for the glue to dry to ensure you don't get the other lashes stuck to it. The kit does come with a 'blower' but I don't like using this, it is quite like a balloon pump and quite large and to blow this in the clients face isn't comfortable, so I leave the lash to dry itself. You carry on doing this for the whole treatment, and as it takes a few minutes to do each eyelash, this is why the treatment takes so long. king sure you apply the extension to the 'healthy' lash will ensure longer lasting extensions. Mature lashes will tend to fall out first and will not have a very long life span and premature lashes will not have enough strength to hold up the extension. Eyelash Extensions are only applied to your upper lashes and never your bottom lashes.
How they feel & look
I have these done myself as well as doing them to clients, so I can also tell you how they feel and look from a client's point of view. Unfortunately, as you have to keep your eyes closed through the whole treatment I can't do these on myself, so I have to get someone else to do them. You must be lying down to have the treatment done, the therapist will tape your lower lashes down with a tape similar to micropore to ensure no glue gets onto these, sticking them together. The therapist will then tape the top layer of your upper lashes up in the same way, this is so they can apply the lashes to the underneath layer first to ensure you get as many in there as you can. They always say doctors are the worst patients, well I think beauty therapists must be the worst clients. I know I am a nightmare when I get these done, for some reason I just can't stop blinking when someone touches my eye, this does cause a bit of a problem, it makes it more difficult for the therapist to apply the lashes, but it can be overcome with a bit of patience, so if you're a blinker, warn the therapist before you start. Throughout the treatment, you don't feel anything, it's quite relaxing really, lying down and having your eyes closed for 1 hr and 1/2, just be careful not to fall asleep!
Applying the lashes, or the glue doesn't sting or irritate your lashes, it is comfortable throughout, I know alot of people worry that it may be painful but it really isn't. If you have ever had your eyelashes tinted, you may have experienced some discomfort or stinging, you won't feel any of that with this treatment. You may get a bit bored, especially as you can't read a magazine, but you will probably have a friendly therapist who will talk to you, or you could always take an Ipod to listen to some music. Even though you are lying there for 1 hr and 1/2, it really doesn't seem that long, it feels more like 1/2 hour. Once the treatment is complete, you will have to wait for a few minutes with your eyes closed, just to make sure all the glue is dry. You will then have to slowly open your eyes. The therapist will then remove the tape from under your eyes, now this is the only painful bit in the treatment, its just like removing a plaster, but it only lasts a second. You will then be able to see your beautiful lashes.
Once you're eyes are open, you don't feel they are there, they don't way your own lashes down. This is why they are so good for everyday wear, you can't feel they're there. The lashes look really natural, even though they are obviously a lot longer than your own lashes they never look fake. They are the same colour and size as your own lashes and blend in perfectly so you don't see a join. As they are individual, they just look like your own lashes, but much longer. They really do make a difference to your face. Your whole eye is opened up and looks fuller and brighter without looking over the top and the best thing is they look so natural. There is usually no need to wear mascara after these are applied, but if you do like to wear quite a bit of make up you may want to still apply some mascara, I did, but only when I was going out. I think eye make up is one of the biggest things to keep you looking awake, and these are great, you can just get up, quickly apply a bit of foundation and go, as your eyes will already look awake and beautiful.
The one thing I must say, is that the therapist can't work miracles, if you have hardly and lashes, you can't have that many extensions, you can only have them attached to what's there so you must be realisitic with your expectations. Also, if your eyelashes aren't perfectly curled and in a perfectly neat line, then the extensions won't be, to be though this makes them look more natural, no one has perfect lines of lashes.
How they last
Hollywood Lashes last as long as your natural eyelash does, which generally is about 3 months, but it would be unrealistic to say that every single extension will last that long. Naturally you will always get some lashes that naturally fall out earlier than others, so so will your extension. When the extensions come out, they don't pull your own lashes out, they come out when that does, which happens daily and is painfree. You will just notice more that an extension has come out, as you know they are there and that you will worry it has come out, but it is perfectly normal. When the extensions come out, they don't look uneven and un-natural, as you have so many in there that it won't be noticable. If you don't treat them very well, and don't follow the aftercare advice, then they also won't last as long. It is recommended that you keep then topped up and attend maintenance appointments, about one every 3 weeks, this will replace any missing lashes and will keep your look full. If you leave them till 3 months, then you won't have them all in and they will look a little patchy, so then you can just trim them down a little bit so they are less obvious and they will all shed naturally in time.
Contraindications to the treatment
If you suffer from any of the following, Hollywood Lash Extensions are not suitable for you, however, if the contraindication is temporary, you can get the treatment when it has cleared up:
Dry Eye Syndrome, Keratitis,Conjunctivitis or any other contageous eye disorders.
If a client has Glaucoma or Cataracts it does not affect a client's suitability to the treatment, they are still able to have it done. Other contraindications to the treatment are:
Weak eyelashes, allergies to the adhesive or tape, styes, cuts, abrasions and swelling in the area, blepharitis, recent operations or scar tissue in the area. Contact lenses must be removed prior to the treatment and if you are suffering from particularly bad hayfever and your eyes are watering, the bonds won't stick so you will have to wait till this isn't happening.
This is the advise on how to take care of your lash extensions, to make sure they remain looking as good as they did when they were first done:
For the first 2 hours:
Do not allow water to contact the eyelashes.
For the first 2 days:
Do not wash eyes or lashes with hot water or steam the face and avoid swimming, jacuzzi or steam bath/sauna.
Do not cover the eyelash area as it may cause eyelashes to curl, break or overlap each other.
Do not get your eyelashes tinted or permed whilst the lashes are on, but these can be done before.
Use only water soluble mascara.
Do not apply mascara on adhesive area as mascara remover will weaken the bonding on Hollywood Lashes.
Use only oil free eye make up remover.
Use in a downward motion, do not rub side to side as this can loosen the bonds.
Most of all, do not rub the eyes.
It is recommended that you book for your first maintenance session 2-3 weeks after the application, where any lashes that have fallen out will be replaced.
To keep up the lashes, you should attend regular maintenance sessions on a 3 week basis to keep the full look. By this time, the premature lashes will have now grown into healthy lashes for you to attach the new extensions to. This cycle will repeat itself month after month so there will always be a constant supply of healthy lashes to apply new extensions to.
Removal of lashes
If you no longer want your lashes in, then they can be removed by the therapist that did them, never try and remove them yourself as you could end up damaging your own lashes. It is a simple procedure and will take about 30 minutes. You can also just have one or two lashes removed, but this must still be done in the same way. In the Hollywood Lashes kit you get a 'De-bonder', which you apply to each lash with a cotton bud and gently loosen the bond. The client won't feel any discomfort at all.
How much they cost to get done
Average prices for the natural look are £70-80 and average prices for the glamour look are £80-90. This does depend on where you are, if you are in London the prices will be much higher and you are looking to pay in the £100's and if you are in more Northern regions, prices tend to be less, so you are looking to pay the lower figure. You will find alot more salons in London do this treatment, and the more north you go, the less you will find it. I do this in my salon in Warwick, but in that area, there is no one else that does it.
How Hollywood Lashes compare to other lash extensions
I have had other semi-permenant eyelash extensions applied to my lashes and Hollywood Lashes are by far the best and in my opinion the only ones that actually last until your own lashes shed. They look so much more natural. Other eyelash extensions that I have had applied look obvious, aren't fully attached to the root and they are too heavy for the lashes, so end up pulling my own lashes out - very painful. It wasn't just the therapist either, I know she is fantastic at her job and it was just the products. Hollywood Lashes have never done this to me or to any client I have done, they all come back.
There are so many differences between Hollywood Lashes and traditional eyelash extensions. For a start the appearance - Hollywood Lashes look natural and soft, just as your own eyelashes do where are traditional eyelash extensions look hard, inflexible and are obviously false. Hollywood Lashes are extremely strong and are permenant until the loss of your own eyelash at the end of the cycle, traditional eyelash extensions are weak and have a short life, it is easy to lose an extension and the loss is noticable. You apply about 25-30 individual Hollywood Lashes where as traditional eyelash extensions are knotted together with a bulbous end, making it more obvious. Hollywood Lashes have a long life, making them suitable for everyday wear but traditional eyelash extensions have a short life span and are not condicive to daily wear and tear. Hollywood Lashes are weightless, flexible, seamless and deceptively real but traditional eyelash extensions are hard, uncomfortable and obvious. And last but not least, Hollywood Lashes last for 2-3 months where traditional eyelash extensions last 3-7 days maximum.
Customer Services
Although it does take a while for them to pick up, everytime I have contacted Customer Services they have been very polite and helpful and have always tried to get me the best deal. This is why I always do telephone orders rather than ordering over the internet. The website does not always have the latest offers, where as if you call them, they will give you them, which saves you quite a bit. They will also tell you over the phone whether an item is out of stock and how long your order will take. They are also very happy to answer any questions you have about the products with great knowledge. I have never had a problem with Hollywood Lashes so have never had to call up with a complaint.
If you are thinking of having semi-permenant eyelashes applied or thinking of training to do them, then Hollywood Lashes are definately the ones to choose. They are by far the best in the market. They make such a difference to your eyes, they really open them, and you don't have to wear make up. They are natural looking and feeling, they are easily applied and removed and they are the only ones that last until your natural lashes shed.

Just when you thought Rachel Maddow could not get more cloyingly annoying, she outdoes herself again.
There she was on her MSNBC show last night, talking about about how she must interview Dick Cheney about his memoirs, seeing how he'll be appearing on "Dateline NBC," "Today" and "Morning Joe" (video after page break) --
Former vice president Dick Cheney has a book now. I have not read it, don't have a copy yet. But thanks to Charlie Savage at the New York Times reading it, we know that while Dick Cheney was unconscious for weeks last year after heart surgery, he "had a prolonged vivid dream that he was living in an Italian villa, pacing the stone paths to get coffee and newspapers."
We also know that his one regret about his time as vice president is that he did not start enough wars. Mr. Cheney's book says he argued for bombing Syria in 2007.
Mr. Cheney's first interview about his book will air Sunday on "Dateline NBC." He'll be on the "Today" show Tuesday and then "Morning Joe" on Thursday.
Will Dick Cheney ever be on this show, will he? I very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much hope so. Someday.
Maddow must think her liberal viewers consider this sort of thing charming, as opposed to infantile.

Considerations arising in the context of burgeoning concerns about the environment can provoke an exploration of issues that have significance both for environmental education in particular and education more generally. Notions of the 'greater whole' and 'systemic wisdom' that feature in some strands of environmental discourse are a case in point. It is argued that interpretations of these notions arising in currently influential scientific and systems thinking understandings of nature that attempt to overcome a corrosive separation of humankind and nature through a dilution or dismissal of the distinction between the human and non-human, self and other, require critical evaluation if they are not to bring their own dangers. Merleau-Pontian understandings of object constitution in a subjectively informed life-world and ideas of the 'selving' of natural things are drawn upon in developing a non-discursively grounded interpretation of systemic wisdom. The latter is taken to raise questions that have considerable transformative potential for conventional views of knowledge and its curriculum organisation.

Mar 28, 2013 - The Associated PressArrest follows woman's death
CASPER -- A man has been arrested after a woman was found dead in Casper in a suspected case of domestic violence.
Police say the 34-year-old woman was found by officers responding to reports of a woman screaming and gunshots early Wednesday.
Thomas Miller is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder and aggravated assault.
One neighbor said she and her boyfriend woke up to the sound of gunfire. When they went outside, she said they heard a woman screaming about her daughter.
Police believe alcohol played a role in the slaying.
State's pension officer charged
The man in charge of investing Wyoming's pension system funds is on leave after being charged with insider trading.
The Security and Exchange Commission charged John Johnson on Tuesday. He's accused of buying shares of technology company Foundry Networks, Inc. in 2008 after a friend tipped him off to the company would be sold for about $3 billion. According to the complaint, Johnson made $136,000 in the deal.
Johnson wasn't working for the Wyoming Retirement System at that time. He was hired by Wyoming in 2010 and became the chief investment officer in April 2012.
The system's executive director, Thomas Williams, said Johnson was immediately placed on administrative leave and no longer is directing investments for the pension system.
Johnson's secretary didn't return a telephone call seeking comment.
Coal giant to meet in Gillette
GILLETTE -- Peabody Energy says it will hold its annual shareholders meeting in Wyoming to highlight the importance of the coal-rich Powder River Basin.

Top 10 Restaurant Dishes of 2011
F&W editors are united in our love for eating out, but when it comes to our favorite restaurant dishes of the year, our choices are extremely diverse. One of us adored a sea urchin-coconut risotto from a $185 tasting menu; another, $7 pig-ear wraps. And two editors swooned over two very different duck recipes.

This article randomly mentions that Jane Hunt recalled Richard Hunt's excitement for working for Jim Henson, and that he would perform puppet shows in high school. Where did she recall his excitement? Does anybody have any exact quotes from her? --Minor muppetz 03:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind! I just noticed that Jim Henson: The Works was cited. But an exact quote would still be great for this article. --Minor muppetz 03:44, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I feel like there is a picture of Jane Hunt's cameo at Sardi's on the wiki somewhere, but I just did a bunch of different searches and couldn't find it. Happy to learn as I go along, and thanks for all your patience! Max riverbottom 02:35, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
- I love when I go to add a comment, and realize I already said it! Still can't find the pic, but it's a great cameo with a big scream and a close-up, and if someone who has the know-how to capture screen shots could do it, 'twould be a great addition to the page! Max riverbottom 14:18, May 13, 2010
- I finally got my PC back, so I can give it a go as well. You mentioned a close-up and a scream, Max, but can you suggest anything else to help us ID her? General appearance, or else the time mark on the DVD? -- Andrew Leal (talk) 20:25, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Here are the main close-ups of "Screamers" in Sardi's. --Justin 20:54, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
That's her in the blue in the picture on the left. Max riverbottom
- Cool! Do you want to use that image of her, or perhaps when we're she's not in hysterics? --Justin 11:12, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
- Yaay! This looks awesome! Sorry I didn't have time to rewatch the scene and find the time mark for a good close-up. I love this page! Max riverbottom
- I was going to point out that one episode of The MuppetCast was a video podcast featuring her, if we wanted to use that as a comparison. --Minor muppetz 15:33, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

NYCATA/UFT is the sole professional organization for art educators in New York City and Region 8 of the New York State Art Teachers Association (NYSATA). Our members include K-12 public school art teachers, common branch and special education licensed teachers, non-public school art teachers, art administrators, and university and museum art educators with expertise in sculpture, photography, film, fashion, advertising, architecture, drawing, painting and other visual arts.All UFT members in these categories are members without a fee and are entitled to vote in any NYCATA/UFT election.
Our mission is simple: to encourage and support art educators in their profession and to advocate for quality art programs at all levels of education and in our communities. We accomplish this by:
- keeping abreast of policies and legislation that affect our field, disseminating information about them and responding to them in writing to appropriate policy-makers;
- sponsoring activities and events that highlight the work of art students and art educators and the process and content of art education;
- informing our colleagues, school communities and legislators of our philosophy, purpose and activities by disseminating our materials at the UFT Spring Conference and New Teacher city-wide meetings and by exhibiting student art work in the NYSATA School Board show and Albany Legislative Exhibit;
- participating in the Chancellor's Advisory Board on the Arts (if it exists); and
- collaborating with other organizations that share our concerns to develop a strong political voice, provide increased opportunities for art educators and students, and raise awareness in our society about art education resources and the critical need for art education for all students.
We also provide professional development for art educators by sponsoring meetings, conferences, retreats and trips that meet the professional needs of our members and a forum for them to network and socialize with each other.
Finally, we aim to recognize outstanding art students, art educators, and artist-teachers by sponsoring annual NYCATA/UFT Student Art Awards, student art exhibitions, artist-teacher exhibitions and receptions and awards ceremonies. We also recognize outstanding art educators, administrators and advocates at our annual conference and work to raise awareness of outstanding school art programs.

There are many benefits to learning to race walk. For me, the benefits of race walking are very personal. When I was introduced to race walking I was an injured high school runner who was told I would never run competitively again. Back then, race walking was a vechicle to continue to compete. Within weeks of switching from running to race walking I discarded my knee braces and never desired to run again.
Now I have lost the competition bug, but I still race walk for the health and weight control benefits. Race walking enables me to stay fit, feel strong, and keep the pounds away.
Low Injury Risk Competition
For many, race walking's biggest benefit is as a replacement for another sport. Countless injuried runners come to race walking looking to maintain a competitive lifestyle. Race walking's significantly lower injury rate, as compared to running, allows many to continue to compete after injuries
Superior Cardiovascular Benefits with Lower Injury Risks
It's not uncommon for a trained race walker that has mastered the efficient form of race walking to achieve heart rates over 200. This is not to say that you should stress your body that hard, but with race walking you can raise your heart rate in a similar fashion to running, but without the same injury risk.
Save Significant Time During Your Workout
Let's face it. Very few of us have lots of time to spare. While a pedestrian walker averages 3 miles per hour and a power walker averages 4 miles per hour, it is not uncommon for a race walker to average 6 or 7 miles per hour. This can more than double the amount of miles you can complete in the same amount of time. If weight loss is your goal, then with the same amount of time dedicated to exercise you can burn more than double the amount of calories.
Full Body Workout
While not scientifically measured, race walking enthusiats have often boasted of race walking's superiority over running in terms of what percentage of the body's muscles are actively engaged during the activity. For running, 70% of the body's muscles is that stat often thrown around. For race walking we say 95%. Whether these numbers are accurate or not is not overly important. What is relevant is the comparison between the two disciplines. Proper race walking technique uses muscles neglected by runners. If you watch a runner and race walker side by side it should be obvious that a race walker is moving their arms (and thus more actively using their muscles) than the runnner. The same is true for the body's core and pelvic region. As we inspect the legs we see a more balanced ulitization of the hamstrings and quads in race walking over running as well as a greater utilization of the calf and shin muscles.
Increassed Range of Motion
In line with the full body workout benefit is the increased range of motion race walkers attain. Individuals learning proper race walking technique move through a greater range of motion than their pedestrian walker or running counterparts. This is both from a combination of the actual technique and the exercises race walkers utilize to warm up. The combination is a dynamic age-reducing duo. Go to an old age home. What do you notice? For me it was the lack of range of motion of the elderly. The older residents walked with very short steps and barely moved their body through any range of motion. So keep yourself young, race walk, and improve your body's range of motion.

For Jesuit Fr. Jeff Putthoff, his ministry at a Camden, N.J., a technology training center, is his declaration about the future of the church as well as his answer, for the moment, to unsettling questions he poses to himself about what it means to be a priest and to be a Jesuit. They become particularly pressing questions in this era of dwindling numbers and resources, a time he refers to as a period of "diminishment."

From football stars to factory workers, more than 100,000 Italians turned out in the city of Turin on Saturday to pay their last respects to Giovanni Agnelli, the playboy-turned-tycoon who built the car-maker Fiat into an industrial empire.
The country went into collective mourning while his family scrambled to hold on to the reigns of its crumbling empire.
His death, at 81, from prostate cancer, brought tributes from every walk of Italian life, from the Pope to politicians and even the exiled former king, Vittorio Emanuele.
"Giovanni Agnelli was a protagonist of Italian life for more than half a century," said an emotional Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, while the President, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, said his death had left "a great vacuum on the Italian scene".
Mr Agnelli, who was Fiat's honorary chairman, is seen as the individual whose genius in the car industry contributed most to Italy's postwar rise from poverty to the world's sixth-richest state. But the company that once provided 50per cent of Italians with their cars and was the symbol of Italian industrial success and style has floundered under crippling debts in recent years. Sales have plummeted and only a third of Italians now drive Fiats.
The markets passed their own verdict on Mr Agnelli on Friday: Fiat shares jumped at the prospect that his death might ease the way for General Motors, which owns 20per cent of Fiat automotive, to buy the family out.
Hours after Agnelli's death, his brother Umberto emerged from a family meeting to try to rescue its legacy. But analysts expect that Giovanni's shy grandson, John Elkann, 26, may eventually be called upon to rescue the family name. Mr Berlusconi has even suggested that the Government would step in to save Fiat.
Mr Agnelli was as at home with ordinary Italians as with monarchs and world leaders. He was friends with Henry Kissinger and George Bush snr, while managing to talk his way into opening a factory in the Soviet Union.
His glitzy playboy reputation - Anita Ekberg, Rita Hayworth and Pamela Churchill Harriman all fell for his charms - only added to public admiration.
The son of a Bourbon princess, he was a lover of fast cars and beautiful women. "I don't like talking about women - I like talking to them," he once said.
Italians feel his loss for cultural as well as political and financial reasons. As Mr Berlusconi once put it, "Many of us first kissed a girl in a Fiat 500. Fiat is in all our hearts."
