Tia and Tamera Turn 34: How They've Grown Up in Hollywood (PHOTOS)
The identical twins turn 34 today, and Celebuzz has compiled a very special birthday gallery to show how the two have changed over the years.
And for those who can't get enough of the sister act, we even have a little Tia and Tamera trivia…
Sister, Sister was developed specifically for the twins. They landed a deal after a producer saw them on the set of Full House. Their brother Tahj Mowry made regular appearances on the show, and they often accompanied him to the set.
The premise of the show was simple — they played twin sisters who were separated at birth and reunited after a chance encounter. Hilarity ensued as the they took on topical issues of the day, such as teen angst, sibling rivalry and body image issues.
The two now appear on the Style network reality show Tia & Tamera. Its first season focused on Tia's pregnancy and Tamera's wedding plans. This season, Tamera got the happy news that she's expecting a baby.
The two are super-close. In fact, in a recent interview with Celebuzz, Tia shockingly revealed that she'd actually try her sister's breast milk! Watch the video below:

I am old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart.
Oh, so this is why you have kids.
Ten years! It's true. And it's equally true that Yung Washcloth has never been topped. Let this give you all something to aspire to in Twitter's second decade.
Time for your weekly edition of the Deadspin Funbag. Got something on your mind? Email the Funbag. Today, we're covering raw chicken, ham, in-laws, Christmas, and more.
Alex Ovechkin turned 30 yesterday. While that fact jolts you into realizing your own age, let's check out what gifts the Capitals captain received:
Deadspin turns 10 years old today; we're proud of what our site has done, even though we'll look like self-aggrandizing assholes if we talk about it. It's hard, when you're working here every day, to think of the stories that have really stood out, or stood in for other ones that stood out, so we asked the editors of…
Dr. Dre is 50 today. Fifty! He is truly getting up there. But what to get the rapper-slash-Apple VP-slash-mogul who has everything? How best to prove that you didn't, ahem, forget about Dre? I have some ideas.
Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz, one of the least polarizing and most objectively audio-visually soothing singers in rock 'n' roll history, is a half-century old today. This has attracted the notice of the official magazine for the American Association of Retired Persons, which is far more Twitter-savvy than…
I have two kids with birthdays coming up and as much as I would like to sidestep the Birthday-Industrial Complex, it's no easy task. There are two levels of peer pressure in the birthday universe: the peer pressure exerted on your children (not that I really care about that) and the social pressure exerted on you,…
OK, Dwyane, that yacht is pretty cool, but "Way of Wade" is still a terrible catchphrase.
We could all use a friend like Pau.
It was Jon Gruden's birthday Saturday so ESPN decided to celebrate in a way sure to make everyone involved uncomfortable. There was a Gruden-through-the-ages slideshow. The Washington Redskins cheerleaders brought him a cake. There was half-hearted singing. Gruden mention how he was blushing. Mike Tirico made sure to…
Goddammit, Adam Jones. Now I'm just hungry for Popeye's. And also cake.
A.J. Francis was a four-year starter at defensive line for the Maryland Terrapins. He was not selected during the NFL draft last weekend, but he did sign a free-agent contract with the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. His day only got better from there.
The perfect Michael Jordan profile is some sort of journalistic unicorn by now—what's there to say about a guy about whom too much has been said already?—but Wright Thompson's story for ESPN is the closest we'll get to it.
Deron Wiliams's wish list reportedly consists of just two teams: the Dallas Mavericks and the Brooklyn Nets. For a little extra-contractual love, the Nets drove a big old truck up to Williams's Soho home today, in honor of his 28th birthday. They also left a pair of children, but considering Williams's wife Amy is the…
Judging by the countless professional photographs and edited montage videos that tend to come out of these productions nowadays, Dwyane Wade had a more expensive and corporate-sponsored birthday party than you this year.
Of course he did. [via]

Monsanto... Unstoppable?
"Monsanto as a company lies, incredibly, about what they are doing. They bribe officials around the world and they seem to treat the world as their toilet. That's not right for the rest of us." –Urban Dictionary
You've probably heard about Monsanto as they have been all over the news for all the wrong reasons. Just recently, on March 26th, Obama signed H.R. 933, a 240 page government budget bill; buried inside was section 735. Written to benefit the big bad GMO birthing monster that is Monsanto.
This rider, attached to a COMPLETELY unrelated bill, protects Monsanto from federal courts and allows them to plant GMO seeds even if they are found to be harmful.
Section 735, appropriately nicknamed the "Monsanto Protection Act" by Dave Murphy, co-founder of Food Democracy Now, effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale and propagation of genetically modified seeds and crops. This means that if a study shows GMO's to be harmful to our bodies, the law can't do anything to stop Monsanto from CONTINUING to plant and grow any one of their 13 new GMO seeds!
Let's not forget that GMO labeling still isn't required, so there's a good chance GMO's are sneaking into your diet. Just last year, Wal-Mart, agreed to carry Monsanto's GE Sweet Corn: the first ever GMO corn on the cobb sold directly to the consumer! No testing necessary; from their science lab to your dinner table these self-pesticide producing plants aren't even required to have a label. Now that is definitely not a Healthy Surprise!
As consumers we need to EDUCATE ourselves about what we're putting in our bodies. We need to speak up and not let big corporations get away with this! Take a stand by participating in the March Against Monsanto happening everywhere May 25!
Find the March closest to you.

By cutting expense, OMC achieves positive bottom line
Oconee Medical Center reports a positive bottom line last month. But make no mistake about it, revenues above expenses do not translate to higher income from patients. "We actually achieve it primarily by expense management," Hunter Kome, vice president for operations explains in an interview airing today on 96.3/WGOG NEWS. Kome says the last five months of the hospital's governing year will be more challenging, partly because the summer months are less busy. He estimates the federal sequestration triggered by the "fiscal cliff" will cost OMC about $500 thousand or more before the end of the year, September 30.

5 Reasons Why Storage Is Leading In The Cloud
25 Jan 2013 | No Comments | posted by Avnet SellCloud | in Uncategorized
Cloud Storage In The Spotlight
A survey of almost 200 cloud-focused executives found that storage is the most popular cloud initiative, as organizations rush to deal with escalating data growth and disaster recovery requirements.
The promise of implementing cloud storage incrementally and increase it over time is very attractive to companies as they scale their operations.
The survey of more than 200 people, almost all of whom attended Cloud Computing Expo in New York in June or Amazon AWS re: invent in Las Vegas in November, was conducted by TwinStrata, a cloud storage vendor.
Continue on and see what executives are saying about cloud storage.

Ivory Coast's political crisis was deadlocked Tuesday, African mediators said, after the latest diplomatic mission to the country failed to get strongman Laurent Gbagbo to step down as president.
"There is still a stalemate," Nigerian president and Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) head Goodluck Jonathan told reporters after talks with envoys who met Gbagbo and his rival Alassane Ouattara on Monday.
Three west African presidents and Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga were briefing Jonathan after a day spent shuttling between the bitter rivals, locked in a deadly stand-off since a disputed November 28 presidential run-off.
Odinga said that Gbagbo and Ouattara had agreed to meet, but this was categorically denied by the camp of internationally recognised election winner Ouattara, whose camp is besieged by Gbagbo's troops in an Abidjan hotel.
Jonathan left the debriefing to attend to party business and said he would return to the talks later in the day.
"The team is still meeting now. I will come back to meet with them. So we will continue with the discussion but ECOWAS' position as issued in the communique after our (December 24) meeting still stands," he said.
The meeting was later adjourned but "may resume" when Jonathan returned, Nigeria's Foreign Minister Odein Ajumogobia told AFP.
ECOWAS agreed at its last summit that Gbagbo must cede power to Ouattara or face military intervention by the regional bloc.
West African regional military chiefs met in Abuja last week and set in motion plans to oust Gbagbo if negotiations fail, according to a Nigerian defence spokesman.
A follow-up meeting to fine-tune the "last-resort" plan is scheduled for Mali on January 17 and 18.
"We are dialoguing," Jonathan said, stressing that any resolution to the crisis, in which almost 200 people have died and which threatens to plunge Ivory Coast back into civil war, would take time.
"Don't expect that if there is a major crisis in a country, you just jump in in one week and that matter is resolved. It takes a lot of international pressure to convince people like that," said Jonathan.
Ouattara's camp denied an earlier claim by Odinga that the rivals were prepared to meet after mediators "broke the ice" in Abidjan, with aide Ali Coulibaly saying the assertion was "completely false".
After Gbagbo accused former colonial power France of plotting against him, President Nicolas Sarkozy said that France's 900 troops in the country had no reason to get involved in "the internal affairs of Ivory Coast".
French Defence Minister Alain Juppe said that France's Licorne mission, bolstering UN peacekeepers, would not "take the initiative" to launch an armed intervention in the presidential crisis, but would defend its nationals there.
Ouattara on Monday appeared to rule out further talks despite the mediation, saying: "For us, the discussions are over."
With the clock ticking, a senior US State Department official said that Gbagbo, who has relatives in Atlanta, Georgia, could seek refuge there but that the offer would not last long.
"We want to see him leave. If he wishes to come here, we of course would entertain that as a means of resolving the current situation," the official said, requesting anonymity.
Ivory Coast's Independent Electoral Commission as well as the UN declared Ouattara the winner, while the Constitutional Council said that Gbagbo won.
Both men have been sworn in as president and Gbagbo claims there is an international plot to depose him after more than a decade in power.
Jonathan has said that ECOWAS will decide on Tuesday how to handle the impasse, amid unconfirmed reports of mass graves filled with Ouattara supporters since November's vote.
Gbagbo, who retains control of the army, rejected the ECOWAS attempt last week to persuade him to step down and end the crisis that has sparked international condemnation and fears of a civil war.
Tensions have risen steadily since Gbagbo and Ouattara both claimed victory in the presidential run-off vote that it was hoped would end a decade of crisis but has instead sent thousands fleeing the west African nation.
The UN says that at least 179 people have been killed in post-election violence but that it has been unable to fully investigate because of attacks on its personnel, while UN rapporteurs said they feared the violations being committed amounted to "crimes against humanity".

Continued high vacancies and little change in rents in May show tenants are benefiting from recent supply increases to the market, according to the latest figures from SQM Research.
The national rental vacancy rate slipped to 2.2 per cent last month from 2.3 per cent in April, but remains well above the 2 per cent figure a year ago, the research company said on Tuesday. The average weekly capital city rent was unchanged in May from April's figures of $528 for houses and $416 for units.
Sydney's overall vacancy rate was unchanged at 1.7 per cent in May, but down slightly from the 1.8 per cent figure a year ago. Brisbane (2.3 per cent) and Hobart (1.8 per cent) were also unchanged on the month.
Melbourne's rate ticked down to 2.4 per cent from 2.5 per cent. Canberra also saw a reduction in vacancies, down to 2.3 per cent from 2.5 per cent in April, as did Darwin (to 1.4 per cent from 1.6 per cent).
Adelaide was the only capital city to see a rise in vacancies, to 1.6 per cent from 1.5 in April, but compared with the same month a year ago, vacancy rates are higher in Darwin, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth.
The figures showed that April's jump in vacancies was likely to reflect a sustained growth in supply of apartments, rather than being a temporary spike, and that this would continue to strengthen tenants' hands in negotiations with landlords, SQM managing director Louis Christopher said. The figures also come a day after the Real Estate Institute of NSW said increasing apartment supply in Sydney drove a rise in rental vacancies for the second straight month in May.
"Rental growth so far this year has been patchy as a result of the moderate increase in supply of available rental properties and I believe vacancy rates will continue to gradually rise over the course of 2014, with the longer term view that the large increases in building approvals will translate to higher vacancy rates in 2015 and 2016," Mr Christopher said.
"Overall it is going to be increasingly difficult for landlords to lift the rent for the foreseeable future."

James Meena
James Meena, Opera Carolina's General Director & Principal Conductor since 2000, consistently earns critical acclaim for his artistic vision and dynamic presence on the podium. The breadth of his repertoire is captured in the standard works of Mozart, Puccini and Verdi to contemporary works including Carlisle Floyd's Cold Sassy Tree and Victor Davies' Transit of Venus.
Mo. Meena made his debut at his home company, Opera Carolina, conducting Roméo et Juliette, which was greeted with unanimous praise. The Charlotte Observer said he was, "…leading the Charlotte Symphony in a sure reading of Charles Gounod's difficult score…the musicians sounded Thursday like they were working comfortably under Meena's baton. The string section produced an unusually warm sound for a pit ensemble." Of another performance of Verdi's Il trovatore, the same publication said, "…he is a singer's conductor, attentive every moment to the singer's art, though not afraid to unleash the orchestra when appropriate… a firm hand at the musical helm." Mo. Meena's Portland Opera performances of Verdi's Falstaff were also greeted with acclaim. Opera Canada said, "Mo. Meena conducted this difficult and complex score with brilliance, clarity and precision, always supporting, never overwhelming the stage action." Likewise, in his Sarasota Opera performances of Puccini's La rondine, Opera magazine commented, "Mo. Meena conducted with keen affinity for the sheer beauty of the score...the orchestra realized Puccini's transparent instrumentation with sensitivity and panache."

In the operatic world, he has conducted legendary singers Mo. McCracken, Mignon Dunn, Marilyn Horne and Jerome Hines, as well as Diana Soviero, Renee Fleming, Denyce Graves, Jerry Hadley, Mark Delavan and Marcello Giordani.
In the twelve seasons since becoming General Director & Principal Conductor of Opera Carolina, Mo. Meena has expanded the Opera Carolina season from 3 to 4 main-stage productions, as well as adding an annual Gala and Holiday concerts. He expanded the Education touring company from 8 weeks in 1999 to 17 weeks in 2005. Since 2000-01, the Opera Carolina has presented six regional premieres, including Cold Sassy Tree and Susannah by Carlisle Floyd, the company's first productions of Der Rosenkavalier, Nabucco, Macbeth and Les pêcheurs des perles, and the regional premiere of Richard Danielpour's new American opera Margaret Garner starring Denyce Graves, in April 2006. Through Mr. Meena's personal efforts, the Charlotte performances of Margaret Garner were recorded and broadcast over National Public Radio's World of Opera program.
Since 2000, Opera Carolina's budget has increased from $1.9 million to $3.5 million, and has posted positive fund balances in each of these years, with the exception of those immediately following 9/11. Mr. Meena is a native of Los Angeles, and a graduate of the Carnegie Mellon University and Baldwin Wallace College Conservatory of Music. His conducting teachers included Thomas Mihalak (New Jersey Symphony), Robert Page (Cleveland Orchestra), Rudolph Fellner (Pittsburgh Opera), and Boris Halip (Bolshoi Ballet), with whom he also studied violin. Mr. Meena served as an Assistant Conductor to Andre Previn, Gunther Schuller, Michael Tilson Thomas, Anton Guadagno, and Anton Coppola. For several seasons, he was Associate Conductor of the Pittsburgh Opera, for which he made his operatic debut conducting Die Zauberflöte. He made his professional debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony conducting Haydn's monumental oratorio The Creation. Mo. Meena was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award by his undergraduate alma mater in 1997 for his commitment to visionary excellence and growth of cultural institutions.

High frequency blister sealing machine advantages:
The advantage of High Frequency sealing for blister packaging is the strength of the sealed flanges. The heat builds up evenly, in a very controlled way, from the inside of the plastic and the dosage of energy can be set very accurately. High Frequency sealing is also called Radio Frequency sealing. HF / RF sealing creates a bond that is equal or greater in strength than the material itself. The seal is consistent, nearly clear and uniform in appearance.The principle of High Frequency sealing is based on electro-magnetic heating of non-conducting materials such as plastics. During the sealing process, the plastic layers are joined under light pressure between electrodes that are connected to a high frequency power generator. The molecules in the plastics start to vibrate and this vibration heats the plastic up to a temperature where the welding of the two layers takes place. The changing polarity of the HF waves passing through the plastic generates heat - just the right amount, very quickly. After the sealing cycle, the HF energy is shut off while the equipment holds the plastic sheets together for a very short time to cool under pressure

Right-Wing Bloggers Use Terror Attack To Launch Another False Attack Against Obama
Blog ››› ››› ADAM SHAH & ZACHARY PLEAT
Conservative bloggers are denouncing President Obama for his statement condemning a terrorist attack against a church in Egypt on New Year's Day. These bloggers are falsely claiming that, in the words of Jim Hoft, "Obama is making up Muslim victims" of the attack. In fact, there were reportedly Muslims wounded in the attack.
Ace of Spades' Gabriel Malor followed up on Hoft's attack, claiming that Obama "create[d] Muslim victims" of the bombing. And Pam Geller wrote today that the president's statement "was grotesque, misleading, and deceptive."
All three blogs quoted Obama's statement that "[t]he attack on a church in Alexandria, Egypt caused 21 reported deaths and dozens of injured from both the Christian and Muslim communities." Hoft explicitly drew the conclusion that Obama had falsely claimed that there were Muslims among the fatalities saying of Obama's statement: "Not true. All 21 of the victims in the attack were Christian. No Muslims died in the attack."
Of course, only people intentionally trying to gin up phony outrage would read that sentence and argue that Obama was trying to claim that there were Muslim fatalities and hoping that no one would fact-check the claim. Who knows? Maybe Hoft really believes what he wrote. But a rational person would see that Obama was saying that there the injured came from both the Christian and Muslim communities.
And it is true that there were Muslims among the injured. Indeed, Hoft included a quote from a Catholic Online article saying: "All but eight of the injured and all the fatalities were Christians from Saints Church, located on the eastern side of the coastal city.." Furthermore, Agence France-Presse reports that according to Egyptian authorities, "The hospitals have taken in seven deceased and 24 injured persons, eight of them Muslims."
All three bloggers also falsely suggest that Obama refused to call the church bombing an attack on Christians. Geller, for instance, wrote: "These were jihadi attacks against Christians. Islamic supremacists slaughtering non-Muslims. Does Obama the mourn the deaths of homicide bombers as well?"
In fact, Obama made very clear that this was an attack against Christians. Indeed, in the very next sentence after saying that "[t]he attack on a church in Alexandria, Egypt caused 21 reported deaths and dozens of injured from both the Christian and Muslim communities," Obama stated: "The perpetrators of this attack were clearly targeting Christian worshipers, and have no respect for human life and dignity."
President Obama's statement concluded with the following line:
The United States extends its deepest condolences to the families of those killed and to the wounded in both of these attacks, and we stand with the Nigerian and Egyptian people at this difficult time.
If only these right-wing bloggers had responded to the attack concern for the victims, regardless of religion, rather than launching another desperate attack on Obama. Alas, that was not the case.

Hitting the Airwaves
Matt giving his impressions of Orissa to a reporter from a local TV station
Lauren and Liz
An Introduction to Sufism
On 31st December 2009, we visited the famous tomb of Saint Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi. Nizamuddin was a Sufi (the inner, mystical element of Islam) Muslim saint of the 14th century. Side by side his tomb is the tomb of Amir Khusru, one of India's greatest Muslim poets. It was a transformational experience. The Pir (chief warden) of the tomb, a direct descendant of Saint Nizamuddin, personally received us and took us inside the tombs. He allowed us to touch the tombs, which were covered with flowers and scarfs. He picked up some scarfs that had been gifted by worshippers and wrapped it around our necks. We prayed together inside the tombs. Outside, Kawali music (a local form) was being played and then the loudspeakers called the noon prayers.
The shrine gets visitors from all faiths, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, and Christians. It feeds hundreds of poor people from different faiths every day, and several thousands per day during the holy month of Ramadan. We ended our tour with a sit down snack meal with the Pir. Many of us had never been to an Islamic shrine before and none of us had entered a Sufi shrine. In an era when media reports keep stressing the radical extremist face of Islam, one wishes more people would visit the Nizamuddin Shrine and learn about Sufism. It can dispel lots of myths about Islam. I was reminded of a couple of lines from Gandhi's favourite hymn: "Ishwar, Allah Tere Nam: Subko Sanmati de Bhagwan". Translated roughly as: "Your name is Ishwar (Hindi for god/lord) or Allah, Oh Lord, please bless everyone with this wisdom."
In The News
A leading daily newspaper of Orissa, Dharitri (the Earth), carried three stories about the visit of the American University (SIS Intersession Study Abroad India) students to India. Here are brief summaries:
The main story headlined: "American Students Visit Ravenshaw", says that the Registrar of Ravenshaw University (Mr Malay Mohanty, fifth from left, the photo also shows Mr Subrat Singhdeo - who was the India coordinator- to the extreme left) received a delegation of students from American University who are in India as part of a course on human security. They first spent a week in Delhi and then visited several places in Orissa: including Bhubaneswar, Puri, Konark before coming to Ravenshaw University. The delegation is guided by American University Prefessor Amitav Acharya and includes seven students (all the names in Oriya language are given). 50% of the assessment of this course will be based on interactions and site visits.
The next story (to the right) is headlined "Acharya Chamber Very Attractive". It describes the donation of some 330 books on international relations made by Prof Acharya, an alumnus of Ravenshaw and currently professor at American University, since 2007 to the Kanika Library of Ravenshaw University. These books are part of a special collection which the newspaper calls Acharya Chamber of International Relations Book, which is housed inside the Library. According to students, from this collection of books on international relations, one can get much information about other countries of the world. On this visit, Prof Acharya made a further donation of 20 books which included Barak Obama's bestseller, "Dreams of My Father", as well as Prof Acharya's own recent book, "Asia Rising".
The inset news item quotes American University students saying that Orissa is very calm and quiet compared to Delhi. It is very hard to do research in Delhi because it's so crowded. There is no such problem in Orissa.
As background, Ravenshaw University (www.ravenshawuniversity.com) traces its origins to 1868. It was founded as a college by the then British Commissioner of Orissa, T.E. Ravenshaw, who was concerned about Orissa's development after a major famine struck the region, killing hundreds of thousands of people. It has since evolved into one of the oldest and most famous educational institutions in India. The University is where almost all the political, academic and administrative leaders of Orissa were, and still are, educated.
What a fitting backdrop for educating ourselves on human security! Famine, education, achievement, all come together at this institution.
P.S.: Professor Acharya studied here for his BA from 1976 to 1980 and lived in the East Hostel, which is adjacent to the main building.

Odissi Dance photos
One of the most fascinating aspects of the culture of the state of Orissa, besides its long-standing, well-preserved historic temples, its distinct culinary flavor, the hospitality of the people, is its dance. The traditional dance of Orissa is a language as well as it is an embodiment of religious stories. We were fortunate enough to attend, on this short trip, two fantastic acts: the Odissi dance performance of the Orissa Dance Academy, and the Gotipua acrobatic dance performed by the young boys from the artisan village. Both were captivating, exhilarating and inspirational in their own ways.
We went to visit the Orissa Dance Academy at around 7pm on Wednesday, when night dance classes were still taking place. On walking through the gate, I got a peak at a group of young dancers rehearsing their routine. They stepped in unison as the teacher clapped his hand to keep rhythm. Our interaction with the Dance Academy allowed us to learn about the single stances and dance moves in each act and what they represent. With regards to content, there are two main types: the one that tells the stories from religious tales and the pure act that focuses more on the ensemble of moves. In religious dances, three principal and most common steps are: the tribhanga (derived from the pose of Lord Jagannath, patron lord of Orissa), the bhramari, and the khandi. Each of them has multiple variations that were singly demonstrated to us by the dancers. A sense of continuity and perfection was felt throughout each act because there is one move that connects all: whether it be the flute-holding posture of Lord Krishna, the mirror-holding in the hands of the female dancer, or peacock pose.
The technicality requires not only stamina but also a great deal of full-body coordination and balance. The eyes and their movement play an important part in the dance, for the emotions they reflect and exude. Another aspect that kept me watching was the sparkling and delicate outfit of the dance crew, which helped enhance the visual effect greatly. We watched the dancers with much admiration and excitement, camera flashing, eyes wide open and smiles lingering. I pondered upon how amazing it is for the people to be able to preserve such a beautiful cultural element, which has taken and will take generations for its continuation.
It is a tradition that has resisted the powerful absorption power of globalization. It is for the pride, the respect and the endearment for this culture from each dancer that keeps Odissi dance from being essentially commercialized, lost or forgotten. Had money been the motivator, the dance masters would be putting its tradition at the mercy of market preference, which will not stand the test of time. Instead, these dance masters certainly has a long-term vision in mind. These days, dance groups like the Orissa Dance Academy travel the world to introduce their culture and tell their stories. The younger dancers will dance until around thirty years old, when they become a dance teacher and continue the cycle, passing down their knowledge and passion for Odissi dance.
The six Gotipua boys came to us at our resort in Puri showcasing their talents for acrobatic dance. Most of them are 5-12 of age, but the level of discipline, concentration and resilience they display were quite respectable. Their act spanned 45 minutes, with remarkable coordination, leaving us all at awe. Each has a role to play in marking it a successful performance, but you could spot out a couple that really anchored the act. They did tumbling, body-staggering, and everything in between. Once again, the full-body coordination and the articulate eye movement still characterize and distinguish these Indian dances to any others in the world. What I found interesting, as my first impression told me, was that these boys dressed like girls; and I felt guilty of mistaking them for being girls. Upon my inquiry, it turned out that the dance is a boy-only given this traditionally patriarchic society, not for the reason that the girls' body cannot handle the movements. These boys have also traveled to Europe and California to perform and have had some stage experience. At the end of the act, we gave them some a couple hundred rupees to "encourage" them in their effort, but as told, the money would be evenly shared among them. Indeed, the dance wouldn't have been as good without any single one of them.

Immediately upon finishing this book I wasn't quite sure what I thought about
The Eternal Husband
. However, I've had a couple of days to contemplate and I think I've got a better grasp on how I feel towards it.
I read an article somewhere that called this story a psychological duel. Although that is, I guess, what was eventuating on the surface, I think I prefer thinking of this story as a study of the male psyche - or at least of a couple of specific types of male psyche.
Velchaninoff is a representation of the alpha male. Although he is, at the time of this story, somewhat down on his luck, he has enjoyed a privileged position amongst other men (and women) in that he was very handsome, well-off and completely charming. What's more - he had the attitude of the alpha male: domination is a natural state and he seldom feels true guilt in that domination.
At the commencement of the story, Velchaninoff is probably at his lowest ebb. His looks have faded with age somewhat and a shift in financial position has left him poorly although not destitute. I propose that despite this, Velchaninoff is still very much an alpha male from the inside out and that this is made evident as the story progresses.
When Velchaninoff first runs into Trusotsky he doesn't recognise him. Given that he had spent a year in an adulterous relationship with Trusotsky's wife in Trusotsky's home, I think this says alot about Velchaninoff's attitude as an alpha male.
Trusotsky is a classic submissive male. He will not only be dominated by an alpha male, I believe he longs to be dominated this way. However when we are introduced to him in this book, there are a few question marks. His visit to St Petersberg seems to be one of revenge. We see an interplay between the two characters much like a game of cat and mouse and it seems like Velchaninoff is the hunted and Trusotsky is the hunter. But neither character is in his true position in the relationship and the roles are played very uncomfortably by both parties.
The fact is that Trusotsky adores Velchaninoff much like a submissive would adore the dominant alpha male. He is completely uncomfortable being the aggressor and there are signs that he wants to resume his classic submissive role.
Just some observations about Trusotsky. He married an attractive woman using his status as the attractor. His wife used him for position in society but sought out dominant males for the purpose of conducting a sexual relationship. It's uncertain whether Trusotsky enjoyed any type of sexual relationship with his wife, but their inability to conceive could either point to a sexual disfunction in Trusotsky or is an indicator that the relationship itself had no sexual basis.
When Trusotsky chose to marry again, it was to a beautiful young girl who very obviously spurned his attentions. Given that there were many girls in this family including a mild and more submissive option in Katia, this tells me that Trusotsky yearns to resume his role as a cuckold. The marriage itself is important to him, but not the relationship and I believe this is because of his own feelings of inadequacy. The fact that he introduces Velchaninoff to see how she behaves in the society of men, tells me that he's making sure he's picking the correct woman to resume his place as the eternal husband (or cuckold), a position that he has a deep-seated desire to resume. I believe the only reason this marriage did not eventuate was due to the insistence of another future alpha male who succeeded in dominating Trusotsky sufficiently to warn him off.
His final choice of a wife was the same as all other choices, with the wife immediately attempting to secure Velchaninoff's attentions. So he had indeed picked well.
That's enough for this post. I may continue with further observations I made throughout the book. Anyone have any comments on this view?

October 2009 Abstract Supplement
The 2009 ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting

GILZ Is a Novel Regulatory Protein in RA
Beaulieu1, Elaine, Ngo1, Devi, Cheng1, Qiang, Santos1, Leilani, Smith2, Malcolm, Leech1, Michelle, Morand1, Eric F.
Monash University, Clayton, Australia
Repatriation General Hospital, Adelaide, Australia
Glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) is a glucocorticoid (GC)-induced transcription factor with recently described inhibitory effects on T cell and macrophage function via binding to NFkB and AP-1. Its expression and function have not previously been reported in RA. We herein report GILZ expression in human RA, and novel regulatory functions in FLS and human endothelial cells.
GILZ was detected in synovial sections from normal and RA subjects, and in cultured RA FLS and umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), using immunohistochemistry, qPCR and immunoblotting. The effects of GILZ overexpression on RA FLS and HUVEC cytokines and chemokines were examined, and GILZ effects on whole blood leukocyte adhesion and rolling interactions with HUVEC were examined in a flow chamber.
GILZ was detected in normal synovium in lining and sublining layers. Compared to normal synovium, synovial sublining and endothelial GILZ were significantly increased in active RA. In RA FLS, the GC dexamethasone (Dex) potently and highly significantly upregulated GILZ mRNA and protein, with up to a 150-fold increase in mRNA within 4 hours which was GC receptor-dependent. In contrast, TNF and LPS significantly inhibited both endogenous and Dex-induced RA FLS GILZ expression. RA FLS release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 was inhibited by GILZ without affecting proliferation. Unexpectedly, GILZ was also expressed in synovial endothelial cells and cultured HUVEC. HUVEC GILZ was significantly increased by Dex and inhibited by TNF. TNF also induced leukocyte rolling and adhesion interactions with HUVEC, which were in turn inhibited by restoration of GILZ. This was not due to an effect of GILZ on HUVEC release of the chemokines IL-8, RANTES, IP-10 and MCP-1.
We report the first expression and functional data regarding GILZ in human RA and human endothelial cells. GILZ expression in RA FLS is exquisitely sensitive to induction by GC, and its expression inhibits FLS cytokines. GILZ is expressed in vascular endothelial cells, where it inhibits leukocyteendothelial interactions. These findings identify GILZ as a novel regulatory protein in RA.

Very good accomodation in a special environment. Top class location. Noisy airco.
The setting of the hotel and the historic aspect of the building itself were outstanding. We enjoyed sitting by the pool and our room was clean and quiet. We were very disapointed not to be allowed parking in the hotel or surrounding areas due to wedding guests. We had difficulty checking in due to the wedding in the hotel vestibule and on finding our room there were no soap and shower gel.The wedding party spoiled our pool and dining experience. The 'chill out' bar was closed and wedding guests children were allowed free run of the grounds. We dined in the restaurant which was very noisey from the wedding celebrations beneath. We ordered white wine and were given red and I was given steak with chips instead of potatoes. We found the whole experience far from the calm relaxing time we were expecting. I feel the wedding should have been more contaied by the hotel.
Beautiful hotel magnificently restored with really interesting pieces of furniture and antiques. We were travelling from south of Spain into France and the hotel was a bit out of the way from our direction but it was a very pleasant diversion.
Friendly, efficient staff. Lovely gardens and tasteful decor. Good size room and bed. Good food. Bath sealant needed replacing.
The position, grounds, ambience and ease of parking The staff were not very attentive and there was a lot of noise from the street until 04.00
Exceptionally beautiful building. Very friendly receptionist. Located right in the center of town, with free car park. Nice warm pool. A nice time travelling experience! No satellite tv. Food in the restaurant was a bit over complicated and as a result not very nice taste wise.
Everything, don't tell anyone else, excelent breakfast Restaurante menu too fussy, pretenstious, didn't try it
Room was very quiet and comfortable and the hotel was very stylish additional cahrge to access spa
We really enjoyed the quiet environment,the restaurant, the excellent service provided by the staff and the easy internet access The hotel was fine but we thought that the cost to play golf was excessive especially given that we could not bring our clubs from Australia and therefore needed to hire everything.
Organization and staff helpfulness. They gave us a room that did not have English language Television even though they knew we were English speaking. They had rooms with English TV but made no attempt to correct our matter. We stayed 5 nights.
Well designed hoteL (don't mind the appearance of the hotel) . Do ask for a room with view on the golf course though. Nothing to do with the hotel as such but our car got seriously damaged on the parkingplace in front of the hotel. Alas the perpatrator was unknown (no note left) and there are no camera's on this specific part . So better park your car in eg garage.
Good quality room and peaceful surroundings. We arrived a day early and the staff were happy to add on another nights stay at the same rate as the prebooked nights.
The staff were outstanding. Very helpful and pleasant. The rooms were luxurious, and the quiet was above average. The road/driveway leading to the hotel. It could also use a ramp to bring luggage up from the car.
Within easy reach of several popular beach resorts and yet being in a quiet location. Good sized room with terrace overlooking part of the course. Dinner expensive and disappointing. Free underground parking.
Spacious room with a lovely balcony/view. Nice big bed (not two twins pushed together). Very ugly and run-down appearance from the outside. Location was horrible (very far from the beach, and nearest town). Not at all luxurious (no furniture or amenities in the room). Fitness center was a joke. I would classify this hotel as a low 3-star, definitely not a 4. Elevators to the fitness center didn't work for two days.
Welcome of all the hotel's staff and manager very smily and helpfull Beautifull bedroom with high confort standard Very nice with children very good diner and fine wines, but some dishes not enough hot when served
The quietness and the scenery the following morning.
It's so convenient for everything; motorways,sea & beaches, cities,mountains,& some really nice resteraunts. I think the resort was designed/built for Spring/Summer/Autmn occupation;it is not easy to keep the apartments warm in Winter.
Setting, facilites excellent.a little far from th town. Lack of toiletries. no hairdryer
very good value for money, staff informative and friendly. suitable for what we needed - self catering apartment, adequately furnished. we had use of car so out-of-town location not an issue
Excellent design of the rooms, great landscaping of the grounds. Location near two supermarkets, so very convenient for families. Extremely helpful and friendly staff - we were lost getting there and the night clerk sent her son to drive around town until he found us. Other requests -for a corkscrew, to fix the hot water - were answered right away. We'll definitely recommend it to friends.
Very clean and quiet and well equipped rooms. Included an equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer combo. The grounds are neat and tidy with very nice landscaping. Internet did not work in the room. The staff repaired it, it worked one day, then quit again. I used the wifi near the office. Parking was on- street and sometimes we were not able to park near our room.
In a crisis situation when our flights home had been cancelled, the staff were so helpful and supportive, accomodating us at short notice. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. n/A
I thought the staff were very pleasant. We broke the plastic key and a guy came and let us in at 11.30. He could not have been more pleasant.
Friendly helpful staff. Good sound proofing to the rooms. Modern easy to clean accommodation. All basic cleaning products where there for you to use. Really pleased to have a washing machine when travelling with a small child. Kitchen was quite well equiped. Feeble shower - very low pressure. No towel rails or hooks in the bathroom. No drawers or shelves to put clothes in except at floor level and very high hanging rail. Impossible for children to put clothes away. No kettle/coffee maker in the kitchen.
it is an excellent summer resort. It has all the facilities one would need, a fully equiped kitchen. The rooms are new and confortable. The garden and the pools look very good. In addition, the small town of l'escala is a nice place to spend some quiet time on the costa brava. the hotel is difficult to find. We were unable to contact the hotel the evening we arrived due to a wrong phone number that we were provided in the confirmation email.
At another instance, the cancellation policy was not applied correctly at this hotel. I was charged cancellation fee, despite having cancelled the reservation in time.
very comfortable room that included a kitchennet; seaside vicinity; avalability of a free parking lot in room internet connection was slow; room soundproof was insufficient; sauna was out of order
Rooms have a tiny kitchenette with fridge, sink, microwave and two hot plates- there is a large supermarket at Delfin Verde camp site down the road. 10m outdoor pool and 8m indoor pool plus v basic gym (weights and 2 exercise bikes/ 2 treadmills). Good breakfast buffet. And few minutes from a massive lovely beach!! Fantastic Gym was v hot, saw one woman working out in her swimming costume! Resto slightly overpriced I thought.
confortable, large room with kitchen facilities, free use of indoor wellness installations and tennis court and parking, friendly service Part of the equipment of the fitness room was old and difficult to use, the sauna for men did not work. the season was not started in april: the closest food shop was 8 km away.
An excellent base to explore the Costa Brava. The hotel is modern, well designed, and well run. The Catamaran restaurant serves excellent food, beautifully presented, at very fair prices. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The surroundings of the hotel are a little depressing - empty apartment blocks and chalets, broken pavements, and a rather run-down air. Although this is obviously outside the control of the hotel, it does affect your impression of the place. It is a pity that such an excellent hotel should be let down in this way.
The room was very nice and very spacious so was the breakfast. Accidentally we got a smoking room that was replaced as soon as we asked. The dinner was nice and the whole atmosphere in the hotel made us feel welcome. The hotel is very isolated so eating out is not a real option
Location, proximity to indoor and outdoor pools quietness. We had self-catering accommodation within the hotel complex which was generally good but the equipment for cooking was completely inadequate
Very good place, 100% 4 stars. Excellent stuff (Leila and other receptionists does her best to help you), very good breakfast (2 types of sparkling wine, salmon), clean rooms - they washed our dirty dishes while we were away! Very good restaurant. Swimming pool is nice to relax. No regrets - this place was good. the sea could be a bit cleaner - but this is what you have if you have a sandy beach.
Very clean & comfortable for a budget hotel. The room,altough quite small in the roof space,had air con,tv,full bathroom,hairdryer & balcony ! The food was of excellent quality,& quite a good choice bearing in mind what i paid. Only grumble was the very early dining hours,but this is typical of a Spanish tourist hotel which caters for children & all nationalities. I imagine this hotel dates from the 60's. The dark blue & white exterior colour scheme doesn't really help 2 enhance it's appearance. Maybe a brighter.lighter colour would change the rather austere look.
good value for money, for the size and number of guests the evening buffet was fine. a decent choice and plenty. the hotel owner was very nice and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Nereida. The staff were very good and the food most enjoyable. We would certainly return.
Good value, comfortable (for price) room. Good variety of food. Nothing particularly
We were very impressed with the deal we got for half board. The meals were excellent with a good choice. We stayed for 2 nights so not sure if menus would be sufficiently varied for a longer stay. The hotel is conveniently located and our room was very comfortable. There is limited hotel parking but not available when we stayed and I believe there is a charge, but not difficult to find nearby free street parking. The plumbing was a little noisy but not intrusive.
Restaurant ,hotel position,service,friendliness,and excellent value. Rooms rather small.
We have stayed before 2 years ago, and love the position of the hotel, and the character of the old hostal part, now combined with the new extension and gardens. The waiting staff are excellent, discrete and efficient. Having booked 2 rooms in April,1 Family and 1 Garden, then cancelled the Garden and specified the Family room was for 3adults, it was disappointing to find we were not in a Family room, but squeezed into a Garden room & could not change due to the large number of conference guests
Excellent location and would have been beautifully quiet had not building work being carried out. Restaurant food delicious. Staff lovely. Would go back when work finished. Shower great! Should have been told about the building works when I rang as said I wanted a quiet de-stressing break with my husband. Room walls/doors could have been cleaner. Would have loved a kettle/coffee/tea facility in room and more pillows.
everything - the view/the beach/the staff - it was the highlight of our trip to spain & france. I hope to return again w/ family. the food was excellent - gourmet & perfectly proportioned but expensive - the only other places to eat are some distance away requiring a drive or the lovely walk to L'Escala
The approach from the carpark view of the sea through the reception area is teriffic. The location of the hotel on the sea shore if fantastic. We stayed in September and had wonderful weather and a sea view room. Excellent food and not too expensive. The reception manager Zaida who speaks perfect english was very helpful and kind. We will definitely return to this hotel. There was nothing we did not like
Location by the sea offering a fantastic seaview, good restaurant and a good starting point for visiting nearby interesting places. Difficult to find hotel especially in the dark. A GPS is recommended. If address is not found on the GPS, look up the hotel in Google Earth and get the coordinates. It's a shame that not all hotels provide their locations by giving coordinates. No TV in room.
The hotel manager was extremely helpful. The food at the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast - and the waiting staff - superb. A truly wonderful experience. The cleaning staff could have done better by checking that the toilet rolls were absent and the soap dispenser was empty. It was a small problem but annoying.
This hotel is right on an amazing stretch of beaches in a quiet town. The seaside rooms have perfect views of the bay and are a stone's throw from the water. There are walking trails and Roman ruins. The continental breakfast was great, the restaurant had a delicious gourmet menu. and the little bar just off the beach was a great place to grab a few beers and soak up the great atmosphere.
Fabulous place and area but room and particularly bathroom are too basic. For example no fridge for our wine, no glasses to drink from and no table on the balcony to put them on! See above
Most nice hotel I ever stay in my trip! Very special! Change the doorlock in 121.
Small and friendly, fantastic beach nearby, food excellent in restaurant paid seperately, very Spanish, pool quiet. Jacuzzi room beautiful but no outdoor area and facing concrete wall when small window opened, moved to another room still very nice but no jacuzzi but still good, but were able to sit out and we preferred this. We would go back as we have visited many times over last 15 years but wouldnt suit everyone as a long drive to get to it from main road through unlit fields. 5 km approx.
The room was clean and quiet and the food is fabulous and cheap! The free breakfasts are really a great start to the day. The hotel should have some beach equipment for rent...some simple little beach chairs and umbrellas to rent. It's not a great beach anyway, no shade whatsoever, so renting out simple, easily carried beach stuff would have made it worthwhile to actually use the beach. We had to drive a long way, everyday, to get to the beaches with shade!
for its class,this hotel is very well run in every sense,and it deserves the success it is getting for its restaurant qualities. none
Nice and comfortable rooms, location is very good: close to l'estartit but far enough to be relaxing and not too touristic. Also close to the beach! swimming pool and outside view of hotel was not very inviting, but for the rest is was excellent!
It is off the beaten track so aa very peaceful stay in an area that becomes overrun with holidaymakers in the summer. The airconditioner is limited I assume to conserve but shared a family room for four and could have done with a bit more!
Very nice place close to the sea. Good and cheap restaurant. Excellent to relax. Rather far from the city if you're not by car.
restaurant quality no
Good value, good room, friendly staff. Enjoyed the evening G and T watching the Swifts and Bats from the balcony. Outside needs tarting up a bit. Need transport ideally to get around.
Relaxed and easy going style of service. This hotel is in a country location and a car is probably essential as the nearest village is at least a 30 minute walk. The food was good and excellent value. The owner and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The exterior of the building could do with a bit of maintance.
Lovely hotel in great location. We will return at the first chance we can. Great beach ,nearly deserted midweek .Thanx
Friendly staff. Good restaurant. Close to the coast and to the towns of Pals and Petrallada. Ample free parking. Free WiFi.
Good parking To much noise inside, doors slamming etc, and a lot of traffic passing by
Overnight stop only therefore not much time to enjoy hotel pool or the town. However it is ideally situated for any family visiting the coastal area of Costa Brava and is away from the built up, tourist areas.
No bar. Decor is dated.
Clean and friendly hotel. Location spot on convinient for everything in Torroella.
room, pool and location
I only stayed one night, just to sleep, so I cannot answer very well. The bathroom smelling, it was not good at all. Maybe they had a problem that night.
the staff was nice but the room was simple, the bathroom was not nice
Small but comfortable hotel in the historic town of Torroella, very clean and relatively spacious rooms. basic breakfast but good. very good value for money
I was staying at a wedding at that time, so we just went to sleep and had breakfast. Price quality is ok If the guests don't speak catalan, the hotel staff should adapt accordinly
We had a poolside room and it felt like we had our own world. We had a wonderful view to the mountains and the pirate castle. The appartment itself was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was excellent. We really liked it and would recommend it to everyone.
On the edge of town close to the beach the apartment was basic but very clean and reasonably priced. Nothing negative but a few things that you need to be aware of: You get all appliance and utensils on site but nothing in terms of complimentary items, no soap, dish cloths, washing up liquid, tea, coffee, milk etc.items that you either have to take or go out and buy. No electric kettle in the apartment. Tea bags out there are very expensive. We have just returned from an autumn half term break and a lot of the shops, supermarkets and restaurants had already closed until next year.
I was surprised how complete it was(washing machine,oven,micro,bath,safe,etc.) Nice view, good location.Free use of complete gym as an extra.For sure will go back there.
the water in the room (wash basin and shower) was too much chlorinated, we smelled with chlorine all the three days we spent in the hotel
We had an early flight which was made easy by staying at the Santa Anna hotel. a very relaxing stay, enjoyed using the pool and spa . rooms very well furnished and friendly staff. Free hotel bus to the airport.
Hotel very clean and fresh. Excellent breakfast, Car Parking very poor, and residents should not have to pay extra for overnight parking. Swimming pool and car park is very much a "work in progress".
A very welcoming hotel, well situated in centre of town but most convenient for beach etc. Pool and parking greatly appreciated. Hard towels and noisy doors.
the central location and easy access to the everything in the town of l'Estartit, the staff where very friendly and always helpful, although being in the centre of the town could be noisy at times, this is an excellent hotel
very good location and breakfast up on the roof !
Among the things I mostly appreciated were the kindness and availability of personnell, the internal parking place, the really good food and the acceptance of our dog at the hotel. It was a really nice and pleasant stay.
friendly welcome it was raining!
room was very clean/ hotel is based in the center of the city/ very confortable and "easy"/ great for scuba divers. breakfast can be improved.
the hotel was very comfortable, extremely clean and the food was very good. Waiters very helpful. Fridge in room was a big bonus
Friendliness of staff, great location and views by the Sea Promenade (currently being rebuilt after a punishing winter storm)
Pool and beach Views, all rooms terrace Rooms a bit old, curtains, cover
Very well positioned, on the "front", but quietly just away from the crowds.

The sequel to Divergent will be something of an Australian affair, with young Sydneysider Keiynan Lonsdale joining Naomi Watts and Jai Courtney among the cast of the second instalment of the Young Adult (YA) franchise.
Insurgent, which is now shooting in Atlanta, Georgia – home of television's The Walking Dead – sees most of the cast from the first film returning.
Shailene Woodley and Theo James once again star as Tris and Four, the rebellious young lovers who refuse to stay in the boxes society has confined them to, with Woodley's co-star and love interest from the YA tearjerker The Fault in Our Stars, Ansel Elgort, also back on board as her brother Caleb. Kate Winslet reprises her role as Jeanine, leader of the Erudite faction, and Courtney is back as Eric.
It was announced last week that Watts has signed on for all three remaining films in the series, which is based on a trilogy of novels by Veronica Roth (as with The Hunger Games book-to-film adaptations, the final book in the series, Allegiant, will be filmed in two parts).
Newcomer Lonsdale expressed his excitement in a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday morning: "So it's out! I will be playing Uriah in the Divergent series!! If only you could see my face right now, I have a permanent smile haha!"
Uriah did not appear in the first film, though he was in Roth's first novel. She noted the omission in a blog post a little over a year ago, after visiting the set of the first film, and promised he would be in the second film "if we are fortunate enough to make another one".
"It is understandably disappointing when a favourite character doesn't make it on screen," Roth wrote. "However, what I do think is encouraging is that the people working on the movie are taking the role of Uriah so seriously and taking so much care to get him right."
The casting of Lonsdale represents a significant break for the 22-year-old who has just released his first single on iTunes and whose biggest role to date has been on the ABC-TV series Dance Academy.

- Jury is still out Review by Patricia
I have been taking this product for 4 weeks now and I "think" that there may be an improvement in my joints but as yet will not give a double thumbs up in support of it. The jury is still out but I remain hopeful that what could be progress is not wishful thinking.

- Partner swears by them Review by Karen
My partner has taken these and as the commercial on the Television states, in ten days you will notice the changes - and he does. He hunts a lot and has noticed a huge difference in the recovery of his knees and mobility is a lot better as a result of taking these. Would highly recommend.

- Very good Review by Cheryl
As a 57 yr woman with both patents requiring joint replacement surgery I'm picking my genetics are stacked against me. I carry old sports injuries to knees which in the last 10 years have niggled on me when exercising.
I have used glucosamine and chondroiten in the past but found it upset my stomach.
This product is well tolerated and also has reduced the pain when exercising considerably.
I will continue taking this product.

- Best ever! Review by Marianne
I've tried other joint care products before. This one is by far the best for my creaky knees and for the arthritis that has developed in some of my finger and toe joints. I have far more flexibility and the swelling has reduced dramatically. I'm on about my third order of the product. As soon as I took a break for a few weeks, the swelling increased and my knees became painful again.

A corporation has a more complex business structure than that of a proprietorship or general partnership. A corporation is a distinct legal entity separate from its owners. It is formed under the authority of a state government. If you own a corporation that does business in more than one state you must comply with that state's laws regarding qualifications of a corporation.
There are two types of corporations. They are designated a "C" corporation and an "S" corporation. The IRS classifies corporations for tax purposes. The State of Alabama defines C and S corporation for state tax purposes by IRS elections. Some states do not tax corporations at all. C corporations are taxed as separate legal entities from shareholders and pay their own taxes. Where as the profit of an "S" corporation is taxed to the shareholders.
Ordinarily the procedure needed to form a corporation is that a subscription for the capital stock must be taken and a tentative organization created. Articles of Incorporation must be filed with the local Probate Judge, who will file them with the Alabama Secretary of State.
- Limited liability for the stockholder to a fixed amount of investment
- Ownership is easily transferred
- A corporation is a separate and distinct legal entity
- Capital is easier to obtain
- Stability and relative permanence of existence
- Delegated authority
- Activities might be limited by the charter and various laws
- Minority stockholders could be exploited
- There are a lot of government regulations and required reports
- Less financial incentive for the manager
- Double-taxation - income tax on corporate net income and also on salaries and dividends in C corporations
S Corporation
An S Corporation is a legal corporation that is afforded special tax treatment under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under state law, S corporations retain the normal features of a C corporation, to include limited liability, but for federal and state tax purposes are treated much like a partnership. However, the stockholders must report corporate income, loss, deductions, and credits on their individual tax returns. You must file the appropriate form with the IRS to obtain subchapter S status.
- Limited liability for the stockholder to a fixed amount of investment
- Ownership is easily transferred
- Separate and distinct legal entity
- Capital is relatively easy to obtain
- Stability and relative permanence of existence
- Delegated authority
- Taxed similar to partnership
- Activities might be limited by the charter and various laws
- There are a lot of government regulations and required reports
- No more than 75 shareholders
- S Corporation can not own more than 80% of any other corporation
- Restrictions on who can own stock
- Stockholders must be resident or citizens of the USA
- Only one class of stock may be issued
Procedures for Incorporation
The following procedures apply to the formation of an Alabama (domestic) for profit corporation under Title 10-2A, Code of Alabama, 1975, as last amended.
- The proposed name must be reserved with the Corporations Section of the
Secretary of State. If the name is available, then a Certificate of Name Reservation
is issued. You can accomplish this requirement by writing or calling the Corporate
Section of the Secretary of State. The number and address are located at the
end of these instructions. The State of Alabama requires that the name contain
the word corporation, incorporated, or an abbreviation of one of the two.
- Complete the preparation of the Articles of Incorporation in the format
described in Section 10-2-2.02, Code of Alabama, 1975, as last amended. The
necessary forms can be received from the Corporate Section of the Secretary
of State or legal counsel.
- The Certificate of Name Reservation issued by the Secretary of State, Articles
of Incorporation, and applicable filing fees must be presented to the office
of the Judge of Probate in the county in which the corporation's registered
office is to be located. When submitting the Articles of Incorporation you
must have the original copy along with two confirmed copies.
- The Judge of Probate then reviews, and if acceptable, certifies the Articles
of Incorporation and retains the original copy. One of the copies is returned
to you along with the Certification of Incorporation.
