Tommy Trojan, a life-size bronze statue that symbolizes the University of Southern California's school pride, sits in the middle of campus surrounded by what looks like a campground.
There are bags of Doritos, cookies, Red Bull energy drinks, sleeping bags, cots, an air mattress, two leather couches, backpacks, tables, trash cans, laptops, sunscreen, an electric guitar, music, even the book "Every Spy a Prince: The Complete History of Israel's Intelligence Community."
Those are some of the essentials for protecting Tommy Trojan, a serious business that started Nov. 20 with a party.
It's rivalry week in Los Angeles, with UCLA and USC's crosstown football classic kicking off at 7 p.m. today at the Coliseum.
It's tradition for UCLA fans to pull all sorts of pranks on USC and vice versa.
It's known as "Beat 'SC Week" if you're a UCLA fan and "Troy Week" if you're a USC fan.
The Victory Bell, given to the school that wins the game, sits in front of Tommy Trojan, too. Over the past decade, UCLA has held the Victory Bell just once, after its 13-9 victory in 2006.
The "Trojan Knights" group is responsible for scheduling round-the-clock security to protect Tommy Trojan, which was wrapped in towels and plastic, then covered in masking tape to protect it from desecration.
'Trash-talking all around'UCLA fans weren't so careful this year, waking up the other day to find cardinal and gold paint on the Bruin Bear. Many were on message boards raising questions about student security.
"Part of me is pleased, it's their comeuppance," said Madison Ainley, a 22-year-old junior and philanthropy director of the Trojan Knights. "Last year, they got us. But the tradition is about sportsmanship and athletics, and pranks don't fall under that."
Wink, wink.
Pranks during rivalry week are nearly as old as the rivalry, and activities leading up to the game are plentiful.
UCLA had a bonfire Monday night while USC had its pep rally last Friday. The school newspapers staffs of The Daily Bruin and Daily Trojan have played a flag-football game since at least 1950.
The Daily Trojan won last week's game, 39-38. The bands battle, too, and there are rugby games and golf and hockey games.
At UCLA, students could trade in USC or red T-shirts for a free UCLA shirt. Last year, the Bruins had a bonfire with no fire. This year, there was a real fire and singers and dancers. The football team took the stage, and UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel energized the crowd, asking them if they were ready for today's game.
Even UCLA Chancellor Gene Block did a little trash-talking.
"Football can be a learning moment," Block told the UCLA crowd.
"There's a lot to be learned in a loss. It would be a great learning experience if USC had four losses."
USC is 7-3 and usually plays in this rivalry game with a Rose Bowl berth or national championship game berth on the line. Not this year.
UCLA is 6-5 and almost certainly needs a victory today in order to be invited to a bowl game.
Moved to NovemberKan Ng, a UCLA senior global studies major, has season tickets and is going to the game. He attended the bonfire.
"I came to support the team," Ng said. "Hopefully, there will be more interest. The atmosphere is different. Last year, there wasn't even a real fire."
Said UCLA junior Suzannah Powell, who's graduating next year: "This was my last chance to go to the bonfire. It's equalizing. There are people from every clique here. No one is here because they're in a bad mood or taking finals."
The game has been played on the first Saturday in December for the past five years, but this year it was moved to November and many students went home for the Thanksgiving holiday, curtailing some of the activities.
"Given the fact it's the UCLA Bruins, the excitement is up a little more but people are so down about the football team based on what happened last month," said Josh Jovanelly, sports editor of The Daily Trojan. "The general sense is that we've kind of fallen off our pedestal. At the same time, it's UCLA week. A lot of us are leaving for Thanksgiving."
But no one was leaving Tommy Trojan, even on Thanksgiving. They had plans for a catered Thanksgiving dinner for 25 people.
"You're with all your best friends," said Nate Cohn, a junior film production major at USC.
Some should leave the Trojan more often. Senior John Griswold, an industrial engineering major, slept outside Tommy Trojan five nights last week and showered only once during that stretch. He had no class last week.
On Monday night, Ainley said a group of about 30 UCLA fraternity members arrived on campus and congregated at Tommy Trojan. The Trojan Knights called the Department of Public Safety.
Ainley said shortly after that, five SUVs pulled up and escorted the UCLA students off campus.
Since USC is a private university, anyone without a valid student identification after a certain hour can be asked to leave.
"(Public safety is) just as excited as we are to guard the Trojan," Ainley said. "We tried to keep it classy and just told (the UCLA students) to go back to Westwood."
Crosstown rivalry


text: Although the instantaneous usage of our cluster shows 90-100% utilization at any point in time, when processing accounting records from Torque, we calculate usage around only 50%. The reason this is occurring is because we are actively using preemption on a number of classes. When a job gets preempted, which happens frequently, all accounting information is lost when the job is requeued. If the user has requested not to be requeued, then an E record is generated and the system usage is recorded. It would be beneficial to us to have an accounting record generated when a job is requeued. This could serve the purpose of both finding the "cost" of preemption as well as allow us to account for total system usage as we see from the instantaneous usage. So my question first is has someone already added this feature? If so, can this be rolled into a release? And if not, I guess that we're on our own here and will investigate adding this ourselves. Thanks, Bill

It was a sunny day here in Munich. Thankful to have the day off, I tightened my dirndl, the traditional dress for Oktoberfest. The dirndl is a gift to women and men alike. It fastens in the front lifting the breasts and accentuating the waist enhancing the womanly figure of all that dare to wear the dirndl. With the girls up and ready, I jumped on the 164 bus with more than sixty eager guests making our way to the train station. The train ride into the city center was quick and entertaining. Hundreds of people sported their Oktoberfest dress and some traveled with beer in hand ready to drink their day away.
I was with friends of friends that day. Everyone was Aussie and ready to have a good time. I quickly bonded with a Aussie girl who helped me find the Lowenbrau tent, where I waited for twenty minutes until I ran into more Stoke staffers and friends. We waited outside the doors in the heat. My cheeks started to redden, and I grew inpatient. Just then a good looking Kiwi from the campsite welcomed me with a huge hug. He and friends had a table outside the tent and after a friendly invitation, I joined them for a stein.
The Kiwi was a fire fighter in Dublin and came with a friend who owns a marketing company in Dublin. The steins were delicious and the conversation was good. The friendly fire fighter slowly became too friendly and I excused myself to the toilet. The security guards welcomed me into the tent as I walked past the front doors, where an hour earlier I waited impatiently. I took that as a sign from God to join the fun into the tent.
Thousands of people surrounded tables all throughout the beer tent. It was like walking into a VIP party where everyone is considered VIP. Thankfully I easily spotted the Stoke staff amongst the 10,000 festival goers. I joined them and quickly forgot about my need to pee. The tents go completely mad when certain songs come on. For example, when the life band begins to play "Sweet Caroline," the crowd goes mad. People hop up into their benches with their stein in hand. Some take the liberty to stand atop the table. It's glorious.
A newly made friend and I scouted out a good place to sit. We made friends with the people next to us mostly because they had food. The three of them had ordered enough food for five people. So once they left the table, Strappy and I helped ourselves to delicious sausages, potatoes and pretzels. Life couldn't be better. Drinking the best beer around, eating free food and having good laughs all afternoon.
The boys were gunning to ride the rides all day. So as we finished our steins, we made our way out of the beer halls and toward the roller coaster. Not many know that Oktoberfest includes a giant carnival with rides and carnival games. The roller coaster is not just some set-it-up-in-a-day-dinky-roller- coaster. It was a full out roller coaster with multiple upside down loops and drops. I doubt riding it after two steins was the smartest move, but after giggling my way through the whole ride, I can tell you that riding the roller coaster at Oktoberfest is a highlight of my trip. It was amazing. We also rode another upside down ride called High Energy. From up there, you see the tops of all the halls and all the thousands of people enjoying the Oktoberfestivities. It was a beautiful sight. The sun was setting to the West and the sight was magnificent.
The boys wanted to display their manliness by playing a shooting game. They were sweethearts and won me a little lamb. The lamb paired with the rose they bought me earlier made me a very lucky girl. I had drank steins in Oktoberfest, ate delicious food, rode rides and was making my way back to the campsite via taxi. Life was good.
That concludes my first experience in Oktoberfest. As a tease, the first experience has nothing on the second. Oktoberfest is amazing.

i have a range of angular data (0-360) degrees in a vector, and I want to only keep specific elements in this Vector. I want to only keep values that meet the following criteria for vector x...
22.5 <= x < 67.5 & 202.5<= x < 247.5
Any help you could provide would be great. I can get rid of the values < 22.5 and >=247.5 but the middle values I'm having an issue with.
Please let me know if you have a way of doing this.

About the Book
St Clement's Hospital was built as the Bow Workhouse in 1848-49. It was used as emergency accommodation for sick and helpless paupers from the City of London, before being converted to an infirmary and then a psychiatric hospital. It suffered from fires, war-time bombs, and reorganisations of the National Health Service, before finally closing in 2005. There is a detailed timeline at the end of the book.
In 2012, the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson gave approval for the conversion of the derelict site into a community owned housing development. The City of London & Cripplegate Photographic Society were invited to make a photographic record of the site before development started. There was an exhibition of some of the photographs in this book, together with those of other Society members, in the Genesis Cinema in the Mile End Road late in 2012.

In my next life, I would love to come back as a professional photographer specializing in interior spaces. Pretty specific don't you think :-) But when you look at all the great spaces that photographers get to peek into and capture, who would not want to do this for a living:-)
I first came across the name Bjorn Wallander in an issue of Style At Home Canada magazine and was instantly drawn into the beauty of each space he captured. To view his full portfolio, I advise viewing his amazing site.

Frankie, perhaps I should have italicized that word *terminology* in the p.
169 phrase "terminology has been refined." Semantics are still the issue.
The legal field has long used "preponderance of the evidence" to mean as
little as a 51% v. 49% likelihood. The genealogical field adopted the term
but raised the bar drastically. Many people who came into genealogy with a
legal background were confused and not particularly happy over the different
standards applied to law's long-recognized term. So the term has been
changed. But there's not a nickel's worth of difference in the "old" (and
now often-quoted) definition of p-o-e that Lee Shepherd published in NGSQ
back in '87 and the GPS definition given in that '99 NGSQ article (and in a
predecessor in Ancestry Magazine in '98).
Beyond that, considerable efforts have been made, among those who publish
and lecture on the subject evidence, to standardize somewhat a number of
other evidentiary terms that, in the genealogical field, seem to follow the
Humpty-Dumpty standard of "the word means whatever I use it to mean" <g>. A
couple of dozen terms on which general agreement was reached was covered in
the NGS-Richmond conference syllabus under the special double-session on
evidence that Chris Rose, Helen Leary, and I were asked to do. If you were
there, you'll have the syllabus. If you weren't, a photocopy of the material
for that session can be ordered from the NGS Library or from the Allen
County Public Library, which offers a photocopying service covering any
genealogical periodicals in its holdings.

Stolen Pixels #198: Breen Fortress, Part 4
Dr. Breen makes a difficult choice ... and faces the consequences.
Nice one :)
And the band is gone, just like that. I'll never forget...whose-it, whats-it, and Joe.
muy bueno gracias
Ah Shamus, you're more devious than the Announcer. Promising us that someone will die in this comic, then killing some characters who never even had camera time in the first place. You cur!
Metro knows what's happenin'
Not bad for a guy who's been combine-erised.
Good one.
Nice comic! And number 200 s coming up!
Heh. I liked it.
Not the band! ;o hehe, hilarious
I don't know if you are being ironic, but apologize for crippling the beautiful Spanish language.
YAY! Metro and Breen live! That's always good.
Good one
Has Metro been a criminal mastermind before? He really knows how these people think.
Oh, she's good. If only every talk-show band could die in an explosion - no, wait! Sorry. Murder is bad.
No, not the band!!
Clever. ;)
My bets the paid audience is gonna be next :P. But what happened to the metro wanting the zelda pre-release copies. Shamus explain yourself!!
They had camera time, they where in one panel. He even linked the panel.
"Now I'm going to have to hire a new band."
Hire? Hahaha! Good one, Breen. Seriously though, be careful when kidnapping a new band. Some of them could be rebel infiltrators. You'd be amazed at the damage a man can do with a trombone.
Hah, that was a great twist indeed! Didn't see it coming. This is pretty good so far.
I have no idea in which country "muy bueno" is acceptable. "Muy bien" is correct, methinks. He could always say "Muy bonito", but that would be a bit weird.
Also, we don't take kindly to folks who use 3 words and call it a "post".
Well, Metrocops are actually still fully human. That's why they get shitty armor and weapons. You rise in rank in the Combine as they alter you more and more. But yeah, Metro is surprisingly savvy for your average mook.
Haha, never saw it coming.
I think it could have been better if the last panel was cut out and used for the next comic. More shock value and such. Then again I'm not the one who makes comics and articles for money...
Dr.Breen *killed* Combine Bassist
Dr.Breen *killed* Combine Drummer
Dr.Breen *killed* Combine Guitarist.
"Muy bien" can be used, I grant you that, but it would translate as "very well", not "very good". Native Spanish speakers everywhere can use "muy bueno", generally because they're eliding the subject -- and the verb estar, which carries about zero content. "[Este episodio está] muy bueno". It's somewhat colloquial, but not even the RAE could fault that construction -- again, outside of there being no punctuation.
As for the post being too short, I cannot defend it. It is short, indeed. But please don't say "we don't take kindly to folks who", it seems like you're about to dispense some frontier justice on the guy :P
Aw, man! Not Joe! I always used to laugh when he did that thing... you know what I'm talking about, right? That thing! Yeah, that one.
Our lives are surely dimished. Curse you, Administrator! CURSE YOU! *ineffectual fist-shake*
Aaaand here comes my nit-picking. Estar would be pretty faulty here. "Ser" is much better, since generally, when you say "esta" it means "it looks" instead of "is". For instance, "ella esta joven" means "she looks young", but "ella es joven" means "she's joven". English language is complicated too, but Spanish is more so.
Hilarious, thank for another superb pixel!
Nice subversion of the whole "Tonight someone DIES" thing. Well played, Shamus, well played.

text: Indoor surface reactions of ozone with terpenes and other unsaturated VOCs may be more important than we previously imagined. In this research, we combine modeling and experiment to provide a better-than-order-of-magnitude estimate of the influence of indoor surfaces on overall conversion rates for the reaction of ozone with terpenes and other unsaturated species. This model combines well-understood transport limitations with reasonably-understood surface kinetics and adsorption isotherms to provide conversion rates (1/h) that can be compared with removal rates for ventilation and gas-phase reaction. For non-terpenes, the reaction probability has been shown to be 10 to 1000 times greater on surfaces than in the gas phase (non-terpenes). Incorporating this range, we show that ozone removal rates at surfaces probably approach their transport limits under typical conditions; this is due to rapid surface reactions. These transport limits appear to be approached even for relatively unreactive, volatile, terpenes such as 3-carene. Since walls represent greater geometric surface area than carpet, and transport is limiting, most of the conversion is taking place on walls. The most uncertain factor in this analysis is the enhancement in the reaction probability over gas-phase reaction probabilities. To overcome this uncertainty, we measured the surface reaction probability of 3-carene adsorbed to glass in a plug-flow reactor. We found that the surface enhances the reaction probability by a factor of 10 to 50. Further, the reaction probability decreases with increasing humidity, probably due to competition for surface sites between ozone and water. In conclusion, ozone surface reactions with terpenes, at typical gas-phase levels, may overwhelm any background reactivity of indoor surfaces and may be responsible for a substantial fraction of ozone and terpene removal indoors.

More glory for Paula
Paula Radcliffe has been voted female athlete of the year by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
Moroccan middle distance legend Hicham El Guerrouj was the surprise choice as male athlete of the year.
He beat off the challenge of new 100m record holder Tim Montgomery to win his second consecutive athlete of the year award.
For Radcliffe, the honour caps a fantastic year in which she ran the fastest-ever woman's marathon in only her second race over the distance.
The 28-year-old, who ran a time of two hours 17 minutes 18 seconds in Chicago last month, also won the London marathon when she made her debut over the distance earlier in the year.
She also laid her track championship title jinx to rest by winning the Commonwealth Games 5,000m title in Manchester in July.
She followed up that success with the European 10,000m crown in a European record time a week later.
Radcliffe beat off Montgomery's girlfriend Marion Jones and Mexico's 400m runner Ana Guevara for the prestigious award, which is voted for by a panel of athletics experts.

Remember when August jobs came in at much lower than was expected and everyone was crowing about how bad the report was and the new recession we were sure to enter?
As it turns out (as it always is with employment data, it tends to be volatile over the short run but in the long run it tends to smoothe out) the growth for August was 192,000 jobs.

Farewell to the Wood-trimmed Boat?

Do we still want exterior wood on our boats today? Is synthetic a fair substitute? When we stepped aboard the 36-foot Island Packet Estero for a test sail, I guess I shouldnt have been surprised to see that the familiar teak caprail was gone. For more than 30 years, the varnished caprail (usually finished in Cetol these days) has been one of Island Packets signature features.

Regional Reviews: Philadelphia
Art and My Way
Art is the story of three longtime friends: Serge, who has just spent a small fortune to buy a 4-foot-by-5-foot, white-on-white painting by a trendy artist; Marc, who is so judgmental that he takes Serge's decision to buy the painting as a personal affront; and Yvan, who is so eager to avoid arguments that he tells people just what they want to hear, which only leads to more arguments. It's a slender story, but one that provides the opportunity for a lot of comically indignant speeches. Despite the premise, Reza doesn't spend a lot of time satirizing the world of modern art; instead, she concentrates on what the reactions to the painting reveals about the characters' personalities. The characters are smart, but the humor is accessible, wavering between highbrow and slapstick. The one glaring problem with Reza's play (translated from the French by Christopher Hampton) is that there's never a satisfying explanation of how these three men became friends or what binds them together. (Late in the play, we learn that Marc once served as Serge's mentor, but that doesn't seem convincing.)
Martin's quick-moving production features three of Philadelphia's top actorsTony Braithwaite as Marc, Ian Merrill Peakes as Serge, and Pete Pryor as Yvan. Each actor gets a chance to be both amusing and aggravated. Peakes and Pryor get to have laughing jags that turn their faces red, while Braithwaite glares at them, complaining that he has not lost his sense of humor. Pryor makes the most of a monologue in which he tells of an argument with his fiancée and his family. The way Pryor jiggles his hands while imitating the way Yvan's fiancée dries her nails is a marvelous comic touch. Dirk Durossette's sleek set complements the piece perfectly.
Art is no masterpiece. It's thought-provoking, but not too deep; it's funny but not side-splitting. But Martin's production shows that with the right trio of actors, it can make for a wonderful night of comedy.
Art runs through June 12, 2011, at Act II Playhouse, 56 East Butler Avenue, Ambler, Pennsylvania. Ticket prices range from $27 to $33, with discounts available for students, seniors and groups, and may be purchased by calling the box office at 215-654-0200, online at www.act2.org or in person at the box office.
Revues like this rise or fall on the talents of their performers, and My Way has four very good ones: Ellie Mooney, who is sly and playful on songs like "All of Me"; Carl Clemons-Hopkins, suave and powerful on "I'm Gonna Live Til I Die"; Danielle Herbert, sassy and sexy on "You're Cheatin' Yourself"; and Fran Prisco, who epitomizes the happy hipster on "I've Got the World on a String." They occasionally use a bit of Sinatra's phrasing (such as the line "You give me a boot" in "I Get a Kick Out of You"), but mostly put their own stamps on the classic material. Prisco provides brisk and efficient direction, and Mooney's clever choreography makes good use of the limited playing area. All four voices are unamplified in the Independence Studio's tiny space, backed by a hard-swinging jazz duo, Alex Bechtel and Andrew Nelson.
The between-songs dialogue pays tribute to Sinatra, but doesn't paint him as a saint. There are mentions of his many marriages and affairs, and pointed references to his dated (to put it kindly) views on women. The musical program relies heavily on theme-oriented medleys; for instance, a "cities" medley includes numbers like "Chicago" and "I Love Paris." (This medley makes it clear that, three decades after Sinatra recorded it, "L.A. Is My Lady" still sucks.)
Sure, things seem a little musty and corny here at times. If you're not a Sinatra fan, this show won't change your opinionand even if you are, it's still not a must-see. But the high spirits of the cast make My Way an enjoyable time in the company of songs that seem like old friends. On the night I attended, one of the stars briefly forgot some of the lyrics, then laughed off the mistake. Like Sinatra himself, My Way is less concerned with perfection than with having a good time.
My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra runs through June 26, 2011, at the Walnut Street Theatre, 825 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Tickets are $30 and are available by calling the box office at 215-574-3550, online at www.walnutstreettheatre.org or www.ticketmaster.com, or by visiting the box office.

Disclosure: I was compensated for this post, all thoughts are my own
The Mission
You have $25 in your pocket. You want something hot, fresh and bold to add to your summer makeup bag, but you cant do anything with 25 bucks at a makeup counter. That's like one lipstick! Take your $25 and head over to Rite Aid!
While I was in Hershey, PA. We were given an impromptu mission to head to the local Rite Aid with $25 and pick three products to keep you looking your best this summer. Check out what I picked below:
Maybelline Color Elixir Orange Aglow, $8.99
You know good and darn well I can't walk into a drugstore without picking up at least one piece of Maybelline. Maybelline Color Elixirs are so great for the summer because they are well pigmented, shiny and have awesome staying power. I picked up Orange Aglow because Orange lippies have been my summer staple for well over four years. Even though this color is more of a sheer coral, it's still beautiful.
Maybelline Color Show Coral Crush, $2.99
Yes, yes, more Maybelline. Whatever I can't stop! For the girl that has too many coral nail shades there's only one thing you can do- BUY MORE CORAL NAIL POLISHES! Maybelline Coral Crush is a pink toned coral, almost leaning towards salmon with a creamy finish. Grab your seche and turn up the shine on this baby!
Rite Aid Renewal Sport Sunscreen SPF 50, $8.99
While spray sunscreens use in children is being questioned, I'm grown and I love a spray sunscreen. As a matter of fact I love all sunscreens but the spray kind is just easier to work with. Rite Aid's sunscreen provides UVA/UVB protection, 80 minutes coverage, and it's water resistant!
Total: $20.97 (there's money left for gummi bears and a juice. WIN!)

The debate has been further complicated by misframing a second question. Assuming that climate change warrants our attention, what should we do about it? This issue is too often presented as a choice between environmental protection and economic growth: you could save the planet or you could consume endlessly, but you could not do both.
This second dilemma involved a conceit about consumption. Imagine a world in which people fly endlessly around the world, drive enormous cars and eat doughnuts all day. If each of those activities were carbon-neutral, none would make a spot of different to climate change, yet we would still have a problem with them. Gluttony is an age-old dilemma, but addressing climate change has more to do with the carbon intensity of production than it does with consumption. Technology is the invisible key.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive system of health care with a continuous clinical history of over 3000 years. TCM includes acupuncture, herbology, massage, dietary therapy and exercise. These therapies work with the natural vital energy inherent within all living things to promote the body's ability to heal itself. This system of health care is used extensively by one-quarter of the world's population residing in Asia and is rapidly growing in popularity in the West.
How Does It Work?
TCM is based on an energetic model rather than the biochemical model of Western medicine. The ancient Chinese recognized a vital energy behind all life forms and life processes. They called this energy Qi (pronounced chee). In developing an understanding of the prevention and cure of disease, these healing practitioners discovered that this energy flows along specific pathways called 'meridians'. Each pathway is associated with a particular physiological system and internal organ. Disease is considered to arise due to a deficiency or imbalance of energy in the meridians and their associated physiological systems. Acupuncture points are specific locations along the meridians. Each point has a predictable effect upon the vital energy passing through it. Modern science has been able to measure the electrical charge at these points, thus corroborating the locations of the meridians mapped by the ancients. TCM uses an intricate system of pulse and tongue diagnosis, palpation of points and meridians, medical history and other signs and symptoms to create a composite medical diagnosis. A treatment plan is then formulated to induce the body to a balanced state of health.
What Can I Expect?
Many conditions may be alleviated very rapidly by acupuncture and TCM. However, some conditions that have arisen over a course of years will be relieved only with slow, steady progress. As in any form of healing, the patient's attitude, diet, determination and lifestyle will affect the outcome of a course of treatment. Patients are encouraged to actively participate in their healing process. Although TCM can treat most conditions, there are circumstances that can be dealt with more effectively by Western medicine. In such cases, your acupuncturist will recommend you contact a Western medical doctor. Acupuncture and TCM should be seen as complementary to Western medicine.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
In the hands of a comprehensively trained acupuncturist, your safety is assured. Acupuncture needles are sterile, single-use and disposable.
Is Acupuncture Painful?
Acupuncture bears no resemblance to the feeling of receiving an injection, since the main source of pain from injections is the larger diameter, hollow needle and the medication being forced into the tissue by pressure. Acupuncture needles are very fine and flexible, about the diameter of a human hair. In most cases, insertion by a skilled practitioner is performed without discomfort. You may experience a sense of heaviness or electricity in the area of insertion. Most patients find the treatments very relaxing and many fall asleep during treatment. In some cases, your practitioner may also recommend herbs or dietary, exercise or lifestyle changes.
What Does Acupuncture Treat?
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture and traditional Oriental medicine's ability to treat over 43 common disorders including:
* Gastrointestinal Disorders, such as food allergies, peptic ulcer, chronic diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, gastrointestinal weakness, anorexia and gastritis
* Urogenital Disorders, including stress incontinence, urinary tract infections, and sexual dysfunction
* Gynecological Disorders, such as irregular, heavy, or painful menstruation, infertility in women and men, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
* Respiratory Disorders, such as emphysema, sinusitis, asthma, allergies and bronchitis
* Disorders of the Bones, Muscles, Joints and Nervous System, such as arthritis, migraine headaches, neuralgia, insomnia, dizziness and low back, neck and shoulder pain
* Circulatory Disorders, such as hypertension, angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis and anemia
* Emotional and Psychological Disorders, including depression and anxiety
* Addictions, such as alcohol, nicotine and drugs
* Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders
* Supportive therapy for other chronic and painful debilitating disorders

Experience a profound sound healing session with Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls, Indian flute, channeled Toning and Reiki; a unique use of modalities only taught only to a select group of healers trained in Spain by her teacher Nubia, a Sufi healer, who lives her whole life in complete meditation. The healing session will include opening meditation, chakra clearing, energy work and a grounding closing meditation to lead you into wholeness and balance within. Join us on a shamanic healing journey that may help release physical, spiritual, and emotional blocks. Some of the music played developed out of the musical traditions between India, the middle east, and the east which took inspiration from the rules of ancient vedic chanting, persian folk, sufi, and middle eastern music. During the journey you will be laying down, so please wear comfortable clothing and bring a blanket, mat, and pillows.

Her lineage includes many musicians born with the rare musical ability of perfect pitch. Her family members include past performers at Carnegie hall, authors of published guitar method books, and authors of channeled spiritual literature. One of the more prolific healers, her great grandmother, used be called in to homes in her village in Italy to offer energy work as the priests performed the transitional last rites ritual.

What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy involves a process of adapting yoga very specifically to the various needs of an individual over time. This uniquely ancient and therapeutic approach is for people, including those who assume they can't 'do yoga,' in all stages of wellness. Yoga Therapy can address a broad range of physical, mental, and emotional concerns. Your personal goals can be approached through this process, so please consider what you are seeking prior to your first consultation. Following the consultation, your teacher will design an appropriate practice, which you will be asked to do at home on a regular basis. After a series of weekly visits, the duration of time between appointments will reduce, until you may be seen once monthly, or even every other month for practice refinement.
Danielle is available by appointment.

What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda (pronounced 'Ah-yur- vay-dah') is a 5,000- year-old, time-tested system of medicine that originated in India, integrating science with the art of natural healing. The word Ayurveda translates as "knowledge of
life". The goal of Ayurveda is to preserve the health of a healthy person. Health is more than "an absence of disease". Rather than merely pacifying symptoms, Ayurveda seeks to address the 'root cause' of imbalances and aims to reverse them. Unless the cause is removed, the symptoms will never be cured. True health comes from a balance of physiological systems, emotional state and thoughts. Ayurveda offers practical and natural solutions to prevent most diseases. Ayurveda has become increasingly popular in the United States and around the world due to its relevant principles. The most important concept Ayurveda offers, is Prakriti – Body Constitution – It is a blueprint of your genetic makeup, your personality and physical characteristics. This distinguishes Ayurveda from many other healing sciences. Everybody is different and there is a meaning behind that difference. Once we know the meaning, we can literally change our life. Ayurveda respects each individual Prakriti and offers individually suited diet and lifestyle plans to restore balance. Ayurveda health plans are based on unique individual care, thereby not adhering to the "One size fits all" motto.
Ayurveda as a system of healing.
Life presents us with opportunity as well as challenge. Given that we don't live in a bubble, we are faced with numerous influences that affect our health on a daily basis. Many of these influences stem from our choices that we make, including diet, lifestyle, exercise, unprocessed emotions an physical and emotional stress. Additionally, there are factors that are beyond our control, such as water and air pollution, environmental influences and harmful chemicals in the food supply, etc. As we interact within the world, both our internal and external worlds will undoubtedly get jostled out of balance. In order to maintain harmony and health, it is important to pay attention to the individual constitution to strengthen the body, mind and consciousness.
Ayurveda has traditionally been used to address the root cause of imbalances in the following areas:
