A Spirited '76 Salute to Old Blighty
Saturday, March 4, 2006
George Balanchine's "Union Jack" has elements of football halftime shows, the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, and Popeye the Sailor.
It is as lock-step precise as a military drill, and the wit is no less sharp. This great big ballet, with its cast of 72 New York City Ballet dancers, steamrolled across the Kennedy Center Opera House stage Thursday night for the first time in a quarter-century, and once it was over one could still feel the ground shaking. Or maybe that was just weakness in the knees. A large part of the genius of this ballet is you don't just watch it, you feel as if you are in step with it.
Balanchine created "Union Jack" in 1976, when he decided to mark the American Bicentennial by honoring Great Britain. Such a Balanchine thing to do. The Russian emigre, a sentimental man even though that quality rarely surfaced in his ballets, wrote that his intention was "to celebrate the English and what they have given us." He was grateful to London for its warm reception of his work, when he was just starting out with the Ballets Russes in the 1920s and when his own New York City Ballet performed there decades later.
But if gratitude informed "Union Jack," it is not through a misty-eyed approach. Balanchine drew on the pageantry of military ceremony for its first section, the formulaic aspects of Cockney theater for a mime-and-slapstick sequence in the middle, and the infectious bounce of a hornpipe dance for the third section, a salute to the Royal Navy. The affection is clear, but Balanchine smartens it all into a deeply moving display that speaks about more than British tradition. "Union Jack" locates art in civic life, in political pomp and folk dances and in maritime signals.
In the finale, the dancers wave little flags (their arm movements spelling out "God Save the Queen" in semaphore), an enormous Union Jack descends behind them and the orchestra strikes up "Rule, Britannia!" And it's like a medals ceremony at the Olympics: Even if it's not your anthem being played, you can't help but be moved by the power of nationalism.
But the true wonder of this ballet is its presentation of ceremony as substance, as not just empty routines but as a meaningful display of something (respect and tradition, for starters) better shown through the body than stated in words. "Union Jack" seems so simple -- lots of marching, quite a bit of standing stiffly at attention, some cheerful jiggety-jigging -- but it gets at the fundamental power of dance. And not just dance but the sharp, swift neoclassical Balanchine brand of ballet.
There is not a whole lot of ballet dancing in this work, but it is incorporated with maximum impact. Against a whimsical storybook illustration of a fortress arch, with banners waving, regiments of Scottish and Canadian Guards march in, dressed in tartans and grouped according to clan (Lennox, Dress MacLeod, Menzies, and so on). It's all very serious and formal, and the brief moments of highly technical footwork by the leaders reflect and refract this. Especially fine were Teresa Reichlen, Sofiane Sylve, Yvonne Borree, Damian Woetzel and Nikolaj Hubbe, all with the supremely commanding air of someone whom you'd gladly follow into battle.
As the Pearly King and Queen, Nilas Martins and Jenifer Ringer injected the right amount of warmth and comic excess into their "Costermonger Pas de Deux." The third section underscored Woetzel's grandeur as a showman in a sailor suit -- equal parts corny and technically impressive -- and Reichlen as the majorette of a most winsome contingent of pinup girls. Balanchine, dipping into his Broadway and Hollywood background, wasn't above a healthy helping of cheesecake.
"Union Jack" capped a satisfying and balanced program, which opened with Balanchine's chipper pick-me-up "Ballo della Regina" and then moved on to Christopher Wheeldon's darkly poignant "Klavier."
"Ballo" was Balanchine's 1978 tribute to Merrill Ashley, a tall, broad-shouldered ballerina who could move like the wind. Megan Fairchild, in the leading role Thursday, is a compact soubrette dancer, so the effect is very different. She doesn't produce the stretched-out shapes and lines that Ashley could etch with such quick clarity. But she is charming and buoyant, and the difficult allegro steps posed no serious problems for her. Benjamin Millepied was her partner -- not a lot for him to do, but he showed himself well. The ballet did not come across as a top-shelf work, but then, minus a masterful leading dancer, it isn't one.
Wheeldon unveiled "Klavier" about a month ago. Accompanied by Beethoven's "Adagio Sostenuto" from the "Hammerklavier" Sonata in B-flat, it is steeped in melancholy. Drenched, actually -- but beautifully so. A fallen chandelier rests on the stage floor, and the dangling cords that we are to believe once held it over the dancers' heads look like cobwebs against the black backdrop. The lighting is somber, and the dancers are dressed in floating garments of sheer black, the barest silhouettes of Edwardian formal gowns.
What's remarkable in this work is the way Wheeldon through-choreographed it in a running current -- not necessarily matching the music step-for-note but perfectly attuned to its mood. "Klavier" is an especially fine showcase for Wendy Whelan's articulate pliancy, though the cast of 10 was excellent throughout. There is among the dancers a sense of hesitancy and unfolding, a wish to reveal but an inability to do so completely. It is like conversation caught in the throat, where what is most interesting is what is unsaid.
This program repeats tonight.

grumpy1510 Review
As a former poster said, the holes don't line up. I didn't know what that meant then. Now I do. On the console that I received, if you screwed the cam blots in until they were tight as I usually do, they were too short. They did not extend into the precut holes far enough for the cam nut grab and dhold the bolt. After breaking several cam nuts trying to force them on, I went to the hardware store to try to buy some longer cam bolts, but could not find any. Then I called the company to send me some more cam nuts to replace the ones that I had broken. Then I backed the cam bolts out enough by unscrewing them about 1/8th of an inch so they were long enough for the cam nut to attach. It seems sturdy enough now. The assembly instructions are good, but there are 17 steps and a lot of bolts and screws to put ind. Took me about 20 to 25 hours of actual assembly time. Later found a comparable piece at a nearby furniture store for about the same price already assembled. Would not do this again.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Fine
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality once you get it put together. MDF not real wood mostly.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate description, except for saying it was solid wood.when it was MDF.

MLA Business Proposal: Gamer Spot
I want to start a place that kids and adults can come to buy games and rent games in northeast around the corner from caster streets. I hope to provide a reasonably priced video games and consoles to everyone. I also will ofter free shipping. I will also partner with a local Game-Stop.

So Ive been looking at a few f2p mmos just to pass the time and recently came upon Dofus. Its a fairly simple game but while playing I noticed something that might be useful to FFXIV.
The merchant system allows you to set up a shop and then go offline with the shop still up. This might be useful for those who cant leave their computer/laptop/PS3 on all the time to sell things overnight wouldnt it? I mean I remember in FFXI I never turned off my computer or playstation2 because I wanted to set up shop but knew it wasnt particularly a healthy thing to do to my machines.
What do you guys think?

Food was great, the wait staff was curtious and quick. It's nice to get out of San Antonio and this place is not too far but gives you that ""in the country feel"". We will definitly be returning. My only complaint is their wine selection, their lack of a good White Zinfandel.
We went to My Place because we heard about their fantastic burgers and chicken fried steak. It lived up to the hype because everything was great. The Guacamole Burger was awesome! It was fairly busy, but the waitress was sweet and took good care of us. They have a great patio too (which was being prepared for a party on the upcoming weekend). We did say hi to the owner on our way out, who we saw a few times up front throughout our visit. The waitress said he does a lot of the cooking and if he isn't, he's making sure the food is prepared correctly and consistently. He can keep doing what he's doing because it's absolutely worth going back.
What a horrible experience.
The owner seemed to only care about himself and not help the servers, who were running their behinds off! When our party spoke to the owner, he just said, "Well, I'm sorry you feel that way." REALLY??? The servers were slammed and the owner only helped two tables. He made sure that those tables had full glasses of water and tea, but the tables surrounding those could go with empty glasses until the servers showed up. If you are not a team player, how do you expect your servers to respect you?

Toasted buns for one thing! Totally comfortable environment. Relaxed! Anytime we go there are always police and fire folks eating there. So you know it has to be good! Great for kids, big menu for them, Beer, Wine, and Margaritas for you! Homemade mashed potatoes kick the pants off of fries everytime. Plus, they'll substitute veggies for your fries. LOVE it!

Olympic flame comes to Switzerland
The Olympic flame has arrived in Switzerland, home of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), en route from Athens to Brazil where the 2016 Games will be staged.
The torch was greeted by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the seat of the UN in Geneva, the Palais des Nations. IOC President Thomas Bach and Prince Albert of Monaco were also there to receive the flame.
The flame represents a "beacon of solidarity with all the people of the world," said Ban Ki-moon at a ceremony to mark the event. He also paid tribute to a first-ever team of refugees who will compete at the Rio 2016 Games.
"For the first time, talented athletes who have been forced to flee their homes will get the chance to chase gold," Ban said. "I will be cheering for them."
The flame traveled later on Friday by boat to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, home of the IOC.An eight-man rowing crew delivered the flame to Rio organising committee chief Carlos Nuzman, who lit a cauldron outside the museum on the banks of Lake Geneva.
It will stay there for the weekend before resuming its travels to Brazil on Monday. The Rio 2016 Olympic Games will start on August 5.
Ban and other officials received the flame following speeches and a ceremony at the UN headquarters.

Two Dothan pre-K facilities just procured state funding thanks to help from Troy University's Project Pre-K to K Transition.
Two Dothan preschools were recently awarded state funding through Alabama's First Class Pre-K Program after going through Troy University's Project Pre-K to K Transition.
Eastside Childcare Learning Center, located on Columbia Highway, and Pal-A-Roos Daycare, located on Hodgesville Road, are two of 122 new First Class classrooms throughout the state this fall.

A crossover with over 1,000 horsepower is the perfect addition to this year's SEMA Show.
If Santa Claus' sleigh isn't quick enough this year for delivering toys to kids around the world, Old Saint Nick should considering borrowing the Santa-Fast from Hyundai. The highly modified Santa Fe packs a ludicrous 1,040 horsepower (776 kilowatts), and the crimson paint even fits Kris Kringle's style.
The Santa-Fast is the result of Hyundai and Bisimoto teaming up again for a wild custom vehicle for displaying at the SEMA Show. The tuners install a build a unique 3.8-liter V6 with new pistons, upgraded cams, and stronger connecting rods. The extra strength is necessary to handle a biturbo arrangement that runs at a maximum 39 psi (2.7 bar).
Unlike the standard Santa Fe, the Santa-Fast is purely rear-wheel drive. Bismoto engineers a unique setup with a six-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear differential from a Hyundai Equus. Drivers can slam through the gears through a custom console-mounted shifter. Four-piston brakes make sure this crossover has stopping power that's on par with its ability to accelerate.
So far, Hyundai only has a rendering of the final design. There's now a huge cutout in the grille for feeding air to the intercooler. The crossover also hunkers down over a set of 19-inch wheels. We look forward to seeing this beast at the SEMA Show that runs from November 1 through 4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We also hope Hyundai releases a video showing how quickly the 1,040-hp engine can hustle the crossover.
Last year, Bisimoto's Tucson with over 700 hp (522 kW) showed that the company could build quite a potent crossover. In 2013, the tuner really proved that it was able to get big power out of a Hyundai by taking a Genesis Coupe to 1,000 hp (745 kW). The two-door used a similar powertrain as the Santa-Fast by fitting a 3.8-liter V6 with a biturbo conversion.

US National Debt
Why Americans should be concerned.
Presented by S. Abrass and M. Remaklus
So What Do We Owe?
As of April 15th 2014 the United States Government is 17.577 trillion dollars in debt. THe largest percent of the debt is owed to Americans themselves. After that, there is social security, federal reserve, the military, and then all the countries we've been borrowing money from to get us out of debt. In doing so, however, we are just gaining more debt because eventually that borrowed money needs to be paid back. So in a sense, getting out of debt is putting America into more debt.
Looking at Past and Future Debt
The chart above displays the National Debt from the year 1790 to a predicted 2030. Major spikes in debt were shown to be associated with monumental events, such as wars and The Great Depression. While looking at the latest spike in the graph, matching up to about 2015, the spike is larger than the Civil War, WWI, and about the same as The Great Depression. We have not yet reached the height of WWII, but the projected rate of our debt is suspected to get up to the same level by year 2040. This is an alarming statistic, considering there is no real reason that our numbers should be going up this fast, and there is no real plan for what to do.
The National Debt Clock is a real time website that actually shows the National Debt growing. It shows what exactly the debt is growing in, what an individual would have to pay to work off this debt. By looking at the debt one can certainly see the alarming rate of growth and the idea of just how hard it will be to even make a dent in the national debt.
What Does the Constitution Say?
So how did this happen? Shouldn't there be something in the Constitution that prevented this from happening? Well, yeah, but when looking at the Constitution it vaguely sets up a plan for these debts and how we are going to pay for them. It states in Article 1 Section 8, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States." So the government can potentially take taxes from Americans in order to pay off this debt. How much would it take though? According to the Debt Clock it would be around $55,000 per person. That's including every single adult, child, and baby, employed or not. So if there is a standard five person family, those parents would have to pay $275,000 for their family. That's a crazy amount of money even for a well off middle class family. So what if it was just the taxpayers? It would cost each taxpayer $152,000. Now this five person family owes around $300,000. Hooray.
For the full Constitution:
Who is Going to Pay?
Elmo is right. You. The children of America. The ones who didn't have the choice and who didn't put America into this situation in in the first place. It's just getting worse. The graph shows the numbers surpassing the income that American Government has been bringing in. So what happens when we're just too far in to get out?
That was just in 2009. Imagine now, five years later, with the debt up to 17 trillion. The debt is growing faster and at an alarming rate. Whether or not Elmo is completely credible, he gets the idea.
Why This Should Be Scary For You.
You should care because you have to deal with it. The future generations are the ones who have to carry this weight and pay off the debt. The officials making the debt had the knowledge that they wouldn't have to see the aftermath. The coming generations do. It is predicted by some that the national debt will reach 25 trillion in 2015. That's next year, that's double the debt right now.
So we know the numbers, 17 trillion in debt. What is that though? Really how much money is that? Well, here are some facts to put this into perspective.
If right now you were to start spending a dollar every single second, it would take you more than 31,000 years to pay off this debt.
If you taped a trillion $10 bills together, end to end, and wrapped them around the world. It would go around 380 times. That amount of money would still not pay the national debt.
If Bill Gates were to give every single penny to the national debt, it would cover cover the US deficit budget for 15 days.
So this is all pretty alarming. What can you do about it? Well for now, get others informed. Care about the issue and find out who is going to fix the problem, and vote for them.

If you are looking to adopt a bird, keeping a parrot as companion is not a bad idea at all. Parrots can be the best amazing companions you can ever have as they are highly minded, tricky and talkative creatures like us human beings.
So if you really eager to buy a parrot, please read on to know all sides of a parrot.
Parrots are species
Parrots are quite different from all other pets like dog, cat and rabbits. But do you know parrots are species not breed like other pets. Parrots come in 402 species in the world, with different body language and different genera. So you can easily buy a parrot of your choice, colour and genera.
Parrots are loud and messy
It is a myth that has been created by earlier generations that parrots are wild, loud and messy many a times. It depends on the person and training given to the pet. Screaming is something that usually people teach to their parrot for getting any one's attention. Instead of screaming one should teach an acceptable noise gesture for calling someone.
Do parrots bite?
Yes, Parrots do bite but in a very rare case. Parrots follow the biting action especially in the case when they feel some sort of threat from you or when they are disturbed in some sense. In case you observe your pet is annoyed or upset then, do not try to pinch them at all. Try to teach them the friendly attitude skipping all signs of aggression and anger.
Parrots need good interaction
It is not enough to leave a parrot in its cage with its own belonging. A parrot always demands for a good interactive environment for living. Parrot have an active mind which can be used by you as a part of investigation process. As you all know parrot are good copycat so in that case train your parrot in a way that they learn good habits in order to develop a friendly behavior.
What parrots eat
Parrot diet contains a lot of dark coloured fruits and vegetables which are full of nutrients, vitamins and proteins like pineapple, berries, orange, mangoes, banana, plum, apples in fruits and carrots, beets, spinach, mustard, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, corn in vegetables.
Parrots' Illness
The parrots are good enough in hiding their illness. Generally parrots does not show any sign of illness unless they are extremely sick. So if you are a parrot owner, you need to be very careful and attentive in catching the signs of illness

A New York ferry captain who sailed his vessel into a pier, killing at least 10 and maiming dozens more, was under police guard in hospital last night after making a suicide attempt.
Richard Smith, 55, a 15-year veteran of the Staten Island ferry, is in a critical condition after slashing his wrists and shooting himself twice in the chest with a pellet gun.
On Wednesday afternoon, sailing at high speed in strong winds, the vessel ploughed into a pier on a routine return trip from Manhattan.
Survivors report seeing maimed bodies as passengers made what one called a "cattle stampede" for the exit.
After the accident Mr Smith, who neighbours described as a quiet man who likes to mend old cars and play classical piano, travelled the three miles to his home and locked himself in his bathroom where he made the suicide attempt.
He was found by shipmates after leaving a three-word telephone message for his wife that said: "I am sorry."
Along with the rest of the crew he will be tested for drink and drugs if he recovers, though a more mundane theory for the catastrophe is that he forgot to take medication for high blood pressure and blacked out.
The Staten Island ferry is a joy to tourists and commuters, offering spectacular views of Manhattan's skyline and the Statue of Liberty.
On a morning trip yesterday Roger Acosta, a 41-year-old film editor, described it as one of those New York experiences that can make you feel like you are in a movie.
"I call it the most mellow form of transport in New York City and the thrill has never worn off," he said.
Mr Acosta, who has been making the trip for five years, said that when cars were still allowed on board a few years ago, a driver fell asleep, awoke with a start, and drove into the water.
"Someone jumps off every once in a while. We all stop and throw them a life jacket," he said.
On Wednesday afternoon the serenity was replaced by panic. Evoking memories of the September 11 terror attacks, when office workers were told to remain in buildings that were about to collapse, passengers were advised to stay seated as the vessel was ripped open. As then, the official advice didn't make much sense to anyone, and people ran for their lives.
One 24-year-old man was so badly injured he had to have both legs amputated after what was supposed to be one of his last commutes before moving to Manhattan.
His father said: "I'm worried how he's going to cope when he finds out he doesn't have any legs."

My coauthors and I are happy to share with you our recent publication on
team members' learning.
I hope you will enjoy the reading!
Kind regards,
Title: At the origins of learning: Absorbing knowledge flows from within the team
Abstract: Empirical studies document a positive effect of collaboration on team productivity. However, little has been done to assess
how knowledge flows among team members. Our study addresses this issue by exploring unique rich data on a Swiss funding program promoting research team collaboration. We find that being involved in an established collaboration and team size foster the probability
of an individual learning from the other team members. We also find that team members with limited experience are more likely to learn from experienced peers. Moreover, there is an inverted U-shaped effect of cognitive distance on the probability of learning
from other team members.

UC500 series questions (switch model and SIP ability)?
We are thinking of implementing a UC500. Currently we have a number of CE 500TT and TC switches. Could we use these existing switches or would a UC500 deployment require us to replace the 500's with 520 switches?
I do not see much documentation for the UC500's support of SIP trunking. Is SIP trunking supported in the UC500 and if so, where can I find documentation on how to implement it?

25 U.S. cities where salaries go the furthest
Updated 9:59 am, Wednesday, September 21, 2016
Texas is the place to be when it comes to getting the biggest home for your buck, according to a new list from Glassdoor.
The job and recruiting site listed the Lone Star State's biggest metropolitan areas – San Antonio, Houston and Dallas – among the country's top 25 cities where salaries go the furthest.
RELATED: What a $400,000 house looks like in different cities across Texas
The website crunched data on base salaries and home values for an overall cost of living ratio "because housing (mortgage or rent) is the biggest expenditure for people across all U.S. cities," Glassdoor states.
The ranking compared the U.S.'s 50 largest cities, and statistics are derived from the company's 25 Best Cities for Jobs report published in May.
RELATED: Two Texas cities top the nationwide list for highest percentage of millennials living with mom
News Channel
"This report shows that where you live and how much you earn are directly tied to one another," Dr. Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at Glassdoor, said in the report.
"Though there are certainly other financial factors to consider when taking into account total cost of living, this data reinforces that pay typically goes further in mid-sized cities versus big metropolitan areas where there is often tighter competition for housing."
RELATED: Study: 8 well-known U.S. companies that may not be around in 2017
In this list, top-rated cities have cost of living ratios as high as 50 percent, while an expensive city like San Francisco has a ratio of 11 percent.
"Noticeably missing are some of America's biggest cities," the report said of the top 25 list. "That's because many of them have some of the highest median home values in the country, bringing down their cost of living ratio (even with higher than average median base salaries)."
The report also included each city's number of job openings.

Almond Meringue Cookies
Recipe by Bergy
Here is alittle sweetie for those that crave a treat - Just have one cookie and you will be fine - even maybe 2 but no more. This is a Splenda recipe. Caution read the review abd then decide if you want to make them!
Top Review by Soup Queen
"A" for effort, but these really didn't cut it for me. I tried using Splenda in meringues before, and I think since sugar is such a major component of meringues, it just doesn't work with Splenda. I will say that at first taste, I was ready to throw the whole batch out, but I didn't. I am eating them and they are growing on me a little, but I still doubt very seriously if I would ever make these again. On the positive side, I learned that it is possible to beat egg whites too much (they got kind of grainy) and that I can't triple this recipe and keep it all in my Kitchenaid bowl.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 egg whites
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 3⁄4 cup Splenda sugar substitute (or use real sugar if you dare)
- 1⁄3 cup blanched almond, chopped
Directions See How It's Made
- Prehat oven to 250 degrees F.
- Line a cookie sheet (or two) with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place egg whites in a totally grease free bowl and beat until frothy (medium speed) Add cream of tartar, beat at high speed until soft peaks form.
- Beat in the almond extract and the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time.
- Continue to beat until the meringue is shiny& stiff.
- Gently fold in the almonds.
- Drop by tbsp onto the parchment covered cookie sheet.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, then turn the oven off, do not open the oven door and let the cookies sit for another 30 minutes Remove from the oven and cool ON THE BAKING SHEETS before trying to remove.
- Keep in tighly closed tins.

Handling money is part and parcel of our lives. However, very few have finance handling skills. As such, it becomes very necessary to undertake finance literacy courses. With regard to this, this article explores a number of reasons why everyone should undergo finance handling training. Read on to know why you need to be financially literate.
To begin with, finance literacy enables you to understand the amount of income at your disposal. The major reason why most people mismanage their finances is because they do not seem to have a clear knowledge of the amount of money they earn. Once you know the amount of income at your disposal, you are most likely going to become a careful spender of what you have.
In the same vein, you need financial skills in order to know how to wisely invest your money. Once you know the income at your disposal, you need to know the most lucrative and affordable investments and ones that have fewer risks. Every day, people either fail to invest or make the wrong investment decisions, leading to self-created financial woes. Getting financial literacy skills ensures that you do not spend all the money you earn. It helps you invest. It not only helps you invest but also helps you put your money in the best investments out there. For instance, you will find many old people who are languishing in poverty simply because they did not invest while they could or they invested in the wrong investments.
Finally, literacy enables you to manage your debts. Some people are always besieged by perennial debts while they have the capacity to clear the same debts. In this case, they are not indebted because they cannot they pay but because they do not have enough debt handling acumen. Finance literacy helps people wisely handle their liabilities and live debt-free lives.

What Belly Dancers Need to Know About Low Carb Diets
There are a myriad of reasons to follow a restricted carb diet and many people are heeding this advice. The idea of low-carb diets is to lower the amount of carbohydrate intake so the body will begin to burn fat for energy rather than carbohydrates, therefore dropping weight quickly, increasing energy, and avoiding low sugar slumps. So how will this diet affect a belly dancers performance on and off the stage?
What Are Carbs?
Simply put, carbohydrates are a category of food that breaks down quickly into sugar. They come in the form of complex and simple carbohydrates and are contained in fruits, starches, and even vegetables. They are used to fuel the body and are a good supply of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. While carbs are the body's quickest source of energy, too many of them can wind up as storage on a person's body contributing to obesity and insulin resistance.
Low-Carb Diet Theory
The theory behind low-carb diets is that significantly reducing carbohydrate intake will increase the efficiency of insulin, amplify weight loss, and fuel the body with fat rather than with sugar. While cutting out carbs may seem counter-intuitive to gaining energy, it actually can sustain energy levels better because there is no significant drop in glucose levels after eating a meal high in protein like there is with a meal high in carbs.
Since cardiologist Robert Atkins first introduced the low-carb diet in the 1970's, its popularity has soared. Other diets have branched off from his original Atkins Diet including The Zone, Protein Power, and most recently, The South Beach Diet. There are a smattering of critics who claim that a low-carb diet can encourage a diet high in saturated fat, leading to heart disease and other cardiac problems. However, most plan proponents praise its fast effects and rave about how even their energy levels are.
Low-Carb, High Impact
While there may be some controversy regarding low-carb diets' place in society, there is no question that it yields dramatic effects when used for weight loss. Many people who have tried countless other weight loss diets state that their only or biggest successes come from low-carb diets. In addition to fast, efficient weight loss, low-carb diets also sustain energy levels as the body burns long lasting fat for energy.
Low-Carb Diets and Belly Dancers
Low-carb diets still leave wiggle room for some carbs, and it would be beneficial for belly dancers to take advantage of that room just before entering the belly dance studio. Eating a handful of strawberries before class will allow the body to draw on that short burst of energy for a better performance. Just ensure that the carbs that are eaten are healthy choices to take advantage of the fiber and vitamins available to bolster each belly dance.
The most successful way for belly dancers to take advantage of the benefits of a low-carb diet is to remember that belly dancing is a fitness regimen. Therefore, the diet should provide ample calories to sustain muscle performance and the carb choices that are eaten should include only those that are best for the body, such as fruits and vegetables. This will help to make performances the most enjoyable to perform as well as to watch.

It bypasses that issue and provides a compatibility layer to work more intuitively with software. Even a VIRTUAL_DOCUMENT_ROOT would at least let admins do some intelligent rewriting. Its obvious the mod_vhost_alias was not thought out in this context, why is there so much resistance to maybe adding the variable or the switch? All other commands understand VirtualDocumentRoot but no one thought to fix it in a mod_vhost context. We all know that the 3rd party developers are not going to change this as they are not well-versed in apache and write code that runs on many webservers (thats why they write in Perl and PHP and Java). That to me means we should do our best to accomodate them and update vhost_alias so that it functions properly. Its a bug, no one wants to admit it though :) If someone else made such a fix would there even be acceptance of it by the apache team? Or are hearts hardened and this is seen as not a bug but a 'feature'.

Turner makes Owls cull
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Owls boss has been struggling to turn the fortunes of the South Yorkshire outfit around after they were relegated from the First Division last term.
Veteran goalkeeper Kevin Pressman (pictured), striker Mark Robins and defender Robbie Mustoe are just three notable players to head out the Wednesday exit door, with Pressman being handed a testimonial by the club.
Alan Quinn, Steven Haslam, Derek Geary, Leigh Bromby, Paul McLaren, Brian Barry-Murphy, Dean Smith, Terry Cooke and Jon Beswetherick will all need to find pastures new in the summer.
Goalkeeper Chris Stringer has been forced to retire on medical advice after failing to overcome blood clot problems following operations on both of his calf muscles.
In contrast, Turner has offered one-year deals to Jon Shaw and Lewis McMahon while Matthew Hamshaw and Richard Evans will have a chance to prove their fitness in pre-season after the pair were sidelined with knee injuries this season.
Turner revealed the necessity to change the personnel in his squad, as he looks for a better campaign in the Second Division next season.
"It was important for us to have a change of personnel at the club," Turner told the club's official website.
"I will be bringing in new players over the summer who have the strength, competitiveness and discipline to succeed in Division Two.
"There were a lot of tough decisions for me to make. I could have sat on the fence with a few players but I felt we needed a change."

I understand that the key in this games design was simplicity but I still think it's more simple then it should be. It should at least have a save feature, becouse it's very long to play trough in one sit!
Also I think it's way too easy. (And I rarely complain about easy difficoulty, I hate hard games!) There is no chellenge, every monster falls easily, even the bosses (in fact they die easyer than normal monsters!) you rarely get hit at all and there are plenty of healing items anyway.
In all this simplicity the battles are still too complex: the fights could be automated becouse you only need to use the normal attack, the rest are useless. The 'reckless strike' is not only useless, it's also dangerous becouse with that it's almost garanteed that you get hit.
It's not explained what the unlockable armores do if they do anything at all. However even if they are just eye candies there either should be more of them or the diamonds should be more scarce becouse I unlocked the first two right on the first level and the last one on the second level and then the lots of diamonds I found were useless.
i feel like a treasure hunter... at the beach
good idea, but i felt like i was just sweeping through th efog to find random coins, and only looking for enemies that werent a ghost or a skeleton...
boooring, but could do better.
Incredibly long and easy, I gave you 4 because I think this game would be really good if you made the monsters a little stronger, the power ups fewer, and the maps a LOT smaller. (The ability to go back to previous levels would be nice too.)
I liked where you were going.
First, what I liked. I really enjoy the old-school feel of Flixel, and I think you really captured a lot of that in a creative way in your game. The game kept me engaged, or at the very least engaged to be engaged (I had a pressing issue I had to attend to halfway through, and came back to the paused game). I actually enjoyed 4-button control scheme, although it did have its downfalls which I will discuss later. I generally enjoyed the dungeon-crawler feel the whole game gave, and the clear image that your bosses were getting larger and larger.
However, without re-hashing Gankachi's review, the difficulty balance was way off - I could easily slip past most monsters without a fight, and the boss battles compared with most monster battles. Maybe that was just because the dice rolled in my favor, but I'll never know.
That leads me to the interface, I know what was *supposed* to be happening, but I felt that without explicit explanation the battle hud was hard to understand, tough to follow, and it really broke gameplay by having it off in the corner. Sometimes I didn't know I was fighting until two moves in because of this. Then when battle finished, I kept holding my finger on the last move I had made (usually up) and I would move that direction a little bit before I could stop myself. There has to be some way to integrate the flow of battles and movement better.
As far as sound, I understand why there was no music - it's not your forte (hehe) and/or you had a deadline, but no sound is inexcusable. You download sfxr, pop out a few sounds you like, convert them to MP3, embed them in the class of your choosing, and then use "FlxG.play(SndVarname);" whenever you want the sound to be played. It is no more than 15 minutes worth of work, and it gives IMMENSE feedback to your players who can hear. Especially when your graphics are so minimalist, you can't ignore feedback.
That said, silence can be just as effective as a sound, but only when it is used in contrast to sound. Example: "2001 - A Space Odyssey" if you watch the scenes where they're in space - they are 100% MOS and it really adds to the effect of the movie. Now watch any silent film (in silence), and the silence isn't a tool nor is it an effect, it's just... there, but I digress.
Finally, it's okay to own up to your mistakes. Don't blame deadlines, search Newgrounds for "Robinson Crusoe: The Game" - that was made ground up in 3 days. Know your limitations, and try to work around them or work through them. Don't stop making games, and don't stop making them better.
I'm sorry...
You know, I'm usually nice and I try to find the best in each game I play... but I didn't find anything on this one.
First of all, the game isn't any story or anything, you just wander around killing paople because you're bored or something, and even if the reason is on the description, you shuold try to put a text to tell why.
Second of all, the moves: I found simple tiles usually practicable in the game suddenly un practicable, you cannot climb up the stairs and there are random doors on the last level.
Then, even if the idea of collecting crystals for a magic armor is good, it's just too simple because you are done when you are done on level 2 and there are way more you can collect but as it doesn't do anything...
For the attack, defense and lives thing, it's a good idea, but I didn't really see the difference between new armors and more defense.
The monsters stuff is just strange too. I beat all the bosses in 3 attacks, but I just dies fighting a flaming thing... Not fair; and the attacking board under the battle isn't explained, so it's not totally understandable for everybody.
You also have the sound problem. I don't know it there should be a music or anything, but if you can hear the flixel sound test when you turn up the sound, you cannot hear any music or sound. I think you should add a backgrounds music, some walking sound, and, maybe, at least a sound when you attack, if you don't want to put a sound per attack.
Then, last but not least, the end. You made a last boss, really easy by the way, which is the end of it, for no reason: you just kill him and then, you win. If you wanted to show the number of death you made, re-read the script, you made a mistake and it just shows the line, plaus if you restart you restart on level four, with 2 attack, 2 defense and 8 lives, and as you cannot go back, it's just impossible.
If I had a question t ask you about this game it is "Did you even test it?!" You should try the game before posting it, and if you cannot test it on your computer, you should at least remove it when you see the mistakes you made...
Thank you for taking the time to write up and explain your thoughts on this. I do appreciate it. I'd like to answer some of your issues :)
The answer to many of your issues is simple: not enough time. This game was made entirely and exclusively for a contest with a deadline. I spent lots more time getting the mechanics of the game working, and ran out of time to balance the difficulty as much as I would have liked. Many things I intended to include or get working had to be left out or removed at the last minute to prevent the game from breaking. Things like: going back up the stairs to previous levels, choosing and implementing sounds and music, adding more areas to explore, a decent ending screen, etc. So, yeah, no music/sound is a feature, not a bug lol ;)
I did make the conscious decision not to add any dialog or story to the game. I wanted to keep it simple and leave it open to the interpretation of the player - based on the surrounding locations, etc. This would have worked better with maybe 2 or 3 more levels and lots more variety of monsters.
In regards to the doors on the last level, I wanted to give it the appearance of a decrepit, decimated hellish area... as if this lower-level had once been full of rooms and corridors until something tore it up a long time ago.
If I had more time to tweak I would have focused on tweaking the mechanics so that it's not so finicky. I've heard people claim that the game is impossibly hard, and others say how easy it was to finish (1-hit bosses, etc). Had I worked on my random numbers a little bit it might have been more sane.
I still really like this game. I think it accomplished what I set out to do with it: make a fun little game with a simple mechanic in a limited amount of time on my own and play with Flixel in the process. It's not nearly as polished as I would like, and I may revisit the mechanics for a future game - perhaps a remake or something.
I encourage you to check out my other game: http://www.blastingagent.com for a more complete game, and I have a few more that are being worked on to be released (hopefully) very soon! Thanks for the comments, and you don't need to apologize - I would be just as critical of any other game! I just hope you can see a little bit of where I was coming from and why I made certain decisions :)

Toronto mayor Rob Ford toured some areas of the city on Tuesday that were hardest hit in the flash flood that overwhelmed its infrastructure the night before, including the water systems, hydro and transit.
"[The goal was] to learn and to educate and to be able to explain to the taxpayers what's going on," Mr. Ford said.
Systems knocked out at an Etobicoke Hydro One station were still not up and running Tuesday afternoon. Lower voltage systems, stored in the basements of buildings, were submerged in 300,000 gallons of water. Pumper trucks were still on site attempting to suck out the remaining water.
The station and another that was also flooded supply power to 500,000 customers. Both were off-line on Tuesday while crews removed water, increasing the strain on the remaining power grid.
Earlier in the day, the mayor had urged people to conserve electricity as hydro crews work to restore power fully.
"We're hanging on by a thread," he said.
Treatment facilities for waste water down the road from the Etobicoke station were without power for nearly six hours on Monday night, according to Lou Di Geronimo, general manager of Toronto Water. The outages, combined with a record amount of rainfall in just a few hours, forced crews to work well into the night to avert a disaster, Mr. Di Geronimo said.
"This plant experienced significant flow increase. It essentially went off the charts," Mr. Di Geronimo said. "When we get hit with that much rain water at one time, it can flood the plant. If we flood the plant and lose the ability to treat sewage, it will be out of service – not for hours, but it could be days and weeks."
Workers had to run their systems manually and use auxiliary power to prevent flooding at the facility, which serves 660,000 people in the west end of the city as well as industrial areas and the airport.
The mayor also toured west-end Kipling subway station, which was flooded with as much as three feet of water, although much of it had been pumped out by Tuesday afternoon. The station, along with three other subway stops, was closed until all the water can be removed and damage assessed.
The mayor said he hopes to sit down with department heads later in the week to determine the total cost of the flooding and look at options for similar disasters in the future.
"Hopefully, there won't be a next time, but realistically speaking, there's probably going to be a next time," he said, adding that the total cost will likely tally in the millions.

The girls ran out to heft cardboard, shake its contents, but it was too heavy to budge. So I dragged it into the kitchen where we slit it open and pulled out the insides.
Stacks of books. Beautiful blue-faced books. Stacks I forgot were coming. And my heart leapt a bit.
On the pages were the collective efforts of sixty-plus mothers. Hours and hours of text read on my computer screen. Days of research, mulling, crafting and re-crafting words. Dozens of emails exchanged.
There it was. Finished and bound. Ready to crease open.
A book that's been in the making for two years.
Have you seen it? Deliberate Motherhod: 12 Key Powers of Purpose, Order, and Joy.
If not, I can recommend it to you without reservation. Ten women who care very much about the profession of motherhood teamed up with April and Saren @ Power of Moms to contribute chapters on topics like patience, love, growth, balance, optimism, peace, and priorities. One topic for every month of the year. Or, however, you'd like to read it.
The book speaks to every mother who cares about the kind of life she is giving her children. As well as the life she is creating for herself. We are touting it as a guidebook for mothers who want to thrive, not just survive.
Full of honest personal stories, thoughtful perspectives, and inspiring ideas, Deliberate Motherhood will help you focus on the most important elements of raising a family. It will help you sift through the unimportant and refocus on the facets of motherhood that matter.
I know almost all of these women personally. They are mothers I admire, mothers I look to and learn from. They are imperfect, like all of us, but striving. Striving to pare down when necessary, build up where crucial, and put first things first.
A few contributing authors you might know and already love:
Linda Eyre
Saydi Shumway
Shawni @ 71 Toes
Saren Loosli
Sarah @ Clover Lane
April Perry
I had to re-read my chapter on patience and give myself a good talking-to the other night, remind myself of the tools I wrote about two years ago. Ones I ought to be implementing more frequently to keep things cool, fizzle my sizzle.
Saren and April, who did the last of the leg work on this book and took over when everyone else burned out, (seriously April - you kept this dream alive. Bless you), are anxious to make the book available to everyone. We get no kick-back. All authors volunteered their time, so I'm promoting it here for the sole purpose of support. With a hope that when you read it, you will feel connected and lifted by mothers who care like you do.
Click here to buy a copy. Or to read excerpts or download the PDF version, click here.
There is nothing like the pure joy of childhood.
Nothing like the wonder of watching little people live in the moment.
Or run into your arms.
There really is no greater work. As Daniel Webster put it,
"If we work upon immortal minds, and instill into them just principles, we are engraving on that tablet that which no time will efface..."
I'd like to give away two copies here. Just leave a comment on this post if you'd like a chance at receiving one and I'll do a random draw come November. And of course, I'd be delighted to ship international.
