GOLDEN, B.C. - A 29-year-old snowboarder from Alberta has died following an avalanche near Golden.
Mounties say they received a call Friday from Alex Lee who was with the his friend Shane Schroeder at the time of the avalanche, which happened in an out-of-bounds area near the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.
The Lee, who called for help, escaped unharmed.
RCMP and search-and-rescue teams responded and airlifted the Schroeder to hospital in Golden.
He was pronounced dead the same day and the coroner is investigating.
Schroeder is described as an avid snowboarder who lived for his time in the mountains. According to the Calgary Herald, Schroeder was an electrician from Edmonton.
A Facebook memorial has been created. Lee wrote on the page, "Yesterday (Friday) was probably the hardest day in my life. I was with Shane when the avi (avalanche) occurred but was helpless to do anything."
"Everybody needs to know that he saved my life."
Lee said he called for help and is trying to raise money to pay for the rescue. He feels it could be upwards of $30,000 dollars because there were helicopters and rescue dogs involved.
Ben Tanasichuk with Golden Search and Rescue tells Infotel News there is absolutely no cost associated with the rescue and recovery spearheaded by his organization.
People, mistakenly thinking the family will be in tough financial straits due to the cost of the rescue, are donating money in droves.
"There'll be zero cost," Tanasichuk says.
He's sent the Shane Schroeder Memorial Facebook page a message informing them that the family of the victim will not be getting an invoice.
The Canadian Avalanche Centre's website lists the danger level in the Purcell Mountains as considerable in alpine areas, meaning human-triggered avalanches are likely.

Confirmation that they're working on two or more games?
[...]may be necessary to change specific duties, projects, schedule or direction on short notice[...]
Would be nice...but likely just jumping in to help Nintendo out (like how they helped with Mario Kart 7)
Confirmation that they're working on two or more games?
Asked for the name and if any other Rare folks are there, hope he replies:
Also, MobyGames says he worked on DN Forever, but further research shows he did while at 3D Realms, and the 3D Realms' site confirms he left the company in 2007; right on time to be a last minute addition during Prime 3 which he is credited at.
Plus his Linkedin page (as barren as it is for guests) shows he is still in Austin, so he's extremely likely still at Retro!
All this time I thought Keyboard Tapper was related to music! lol
BTW, Rhys was one of the Engineers for DKCR. :)
Naughty Dog Vs 343 Industries Vs Retro Studios.
like have a guy standing out in the middle of the parking lot with a lime green shirt on and a coded letter, and somehow it'd all lead to guessing what direction you're taking
you can send me my check later guys, I'm a patient man
For protection, I'll keep the name a secret, now he's a Level 3 Animator at Retro.
are animators levels now or something.
Soo... let's celebrate?

Right, that was the main motivation, I forgot. :P

This is in addition to the 2011 hire of a Senior Character Artist from Vigil is still the Senior Character Artist at Retro. This one also worked on Darksiders 2.
More as I find them.
Was Senior Character Artist at Vigil for three years, now Level 3 Character Artist at Retro.
Worked on a number of Vigil games, including creating characters and props for both Darksiders! :O
So 4 so far; 2 proper, and 2 contract. All artists!
(Also OH MY GOD I'M ONLY 5-6 HOURS UP THE ROAD FROM RETRO!!)
Why not just keep the contract folks, make a 3rd team damn it. :(

Its pretty uncommon in Japan, but pretty common in USA. Hence the Naughty Dog guy who joined Retro.

E3 is very likely, hell what if it's at GDC?

I wish Vigil folks were flocking to Retro, one of the recent folks at Retro actually tweeted a lead designer from Vigil saying that Retro is hiring. GET ON IT!!!
Oh, I read the entire thread before posting! I laughed hard at that, so hard. I'm in the hallway on campus with students from other classes lining up to go to their class. They all looked at me like I was insane.

Not that many though. :( But it is nice to know what 2012 hires they did, they killed the recent hires section of their page early in 2012 so we were left in the dark for most of it.
Wow you're on it today, so we see they have been hiring Vigil staff recently... I wonder what they got cooking.
I know this is a few months old, but you still had a chance to help them move I think. My girlfriend got a job at some epub magazine place and they were on Kramer Lane right by (what I assume is) the old address. The first time I dropped her off, either the end of November or beginning of December, I saw one of the buildings right by hers had the Retro logo on it. I drove around and saw a bunch of dudes outside smoking right by parking spaces that said "RETRO STUDIOS ONLY" on them. Thought that was pretty cool. A week later, the logo was gone and parking spaces were repainted. So they probably didn't finish moving until December or so.

Just thought I'd share this... mostly unremarkable story, haha.

My brother and I had often urged her to put into systematic order the underlying directives of a personal cuisine which had long since excited far more than a neighborhood appreciation. It was at this juncture, partly to comply, chiefly to distract her keen unhappiness, that she decided to spend another summer in Michigan, taking with her, needless to say, the mimeographed sheaf of recipes she had compiled, some eight years before, for the Women's Alliance.Rombauer's biographer Anne Mendelson, in her book Stand Facing the Stove: The Story of the Woman Who Gave America The Joy of Cooking, has a less romantic explanation:
It was not a terribly pracical plan, but it matched her view of her position in society. The idea that gradually took shape in her mind was the simplest thing that could be jammed between a pair of endpapers by a woman of minimal formal education and little trained ability of any sort: a cookbook.Whatever the case, within a year, Rombauer had assembled 500 recipes and published the book herself in St. Louis. It cost her $3,000, or approximately half her savings. The Joy of Cooking took what was then a novel approach to cookbook-writing, long the preserve of home economists who were more concerned with the science of food than with cooking it. (They were actually quite fascinating; to learn more, read Laura Shapiro's excellent book Perfection Salad: Women and Cooking at the Turn of the Century.) Writes Rombauer's grandson Ethan Becker in the book's 75th anniversary edition:
A complete amateur with no official credentials, [Rombauer] nonetheless knew that neophyte cooks somehow learn faster in the company of a friend. This small, chic, witty and immensely forceful woman appointed herself that friend.The Joy of Cooking took a refreshingly commonsense approach. Its very first instruction: "Stand facing the stove." (This directive, sadly, seems to have been eliminated from the most recent edition, which came out in 2006.)

Lansford man has probation revoked; sent to state prison
A Lansford man was one of three who had their probations revoked after hearings in the Schuylkill County court.
Anthony Edward Pascoe, 26 , of 201 Kline Avenue, Lansford, had his probation revoked by Senior Judge D. Michael Stine.
Stine, following a hearing, found that Pascoe violated three conditions of his probation by failing to report timely to his probation officer, he possessed illegal drugs, and he failed to keep up his payments schedule of fines and costs.
He was re-sentenced on a charge of simple assault to serve 10 to 24 months in a state correctional facility with credit for serving 60 days in the county prison . Pascoe pleaded guilty in Aug. 2010, to assaulting two people in the parking lot of a restaurant in Tamaqua and was placed on probation. It was revoked in January 2011 and he was re-sentenced to again serve a probation term but again violated the conditions.
Justine M. Meyers, 28, Pottsville, had his probation revoked by Judge John E. Domalakes for violating terms of his probation. He was re-sentenced on a charge of disorderly conduct to serve four to 12 months in the county prison with credit for spending 30 days in prison. His maximum date for release was reset at Aug. 16, 2012.
Meyers had pleaded guilty in November 2008 to a charge escaping from custody of law officials and disorderly conduct and was placed on probation. It was revoked in June 2009 and he served time in prison and was out on probation when the second violation occurred.
Robert Britting, 27, Pottsville, had his parole revoked by President Judge William E. Baldwin for violating its terms and he was recommitted to the county prison to serve the balance of his original sentence and his 232 days of liberty were disallowed. The court will not consider any application for parole until Sept. 1, 2013.
Britting pleaded guilty in November 2006 to credit card fraud and was placed on parole. His parole was again revoked because he failed to report on time to his probation officer or keep up payments on his costs and fines.

Transfer Options Beyond The Outright Sale
Jul 19, 2010
Transfer Options: Beyond the Outright Sale
It's nice to have options. Haven't we all heard that before? It's something many business owners would probably say and sigh with relief when they realize that 'selling' a business isn't the only way to exit that business. In this article, we'll dispel this myth and talk about the many options available to exiting business owners.
Today, a large number of Baby Boomer business owners face the challenge of meeting their retirement needs with illiquid wealth tied to their privately-held businesses. According to an NFO WorldGroup study performed in 2002, the number of business owners planning to retire was expected to increase from 50,000 per year in 2001 to 750,000 per year by 2009. Now, more than ever, it is crucial for owners to become educated about their options.
There are primarily seven (7) different options by which a business owner can transfer the interests in a privately-held business:
· Employees
· Charity
· Family
· Co-Owners
· Outsiders (owner retires)
· Outsiders (owner stays)
· Initial Public Offering
Employees & Family
Liquidity is the primary concern when considering a transfer of a business to employees or family. One might naturally believe that these individuals don't have the financial wherewithal to buy out the owner. Whether or not this is the case, it doesn't have to limit the succession planning process. Take a look at the following options:
ESOPs Provide Tax Benefits
An owner may transfer shares to employees, through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) without the employees ever contributing any money to the owner's exit strategy. Their liquidity simply isn't a factor. Furthermore, since 1974, Congress has supported ESOPs by way of tax incentives. These incentives make an ESOP an attractive Exit Vehicle for an owner–even if the owner has no true desire to help their employees.
Estate Planning Within an Exit Strategy
Regardless of their liquidity, family members can in fact play a key role in an owner's business exit. If an owner has provided for his financial needs independent of the business, he can gift shares of the Company to family members. Over a long enough period of time, these gifting programs can coordinate with an estate plan to manage estate taxation. In addition, transfers to family members can occur in a fast growing business through a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust. These powerful estate planning tools can provide significant tax savings to the exiting owner.
A Leveraged Buyout Option
Employees and Family Members can also utilize the existing assets of the Company to construct a Leveraged Buyout of the owner's interest. In this scenario, the Company takes on more debt and therefore more risk to accomplish the transfer. If the employees and family members are willing to assume this risk, the owner can make out quite nicely.
Co-Owner Transfers
The existence of more than one owner creates yet another option. This ownership structure often comes with a Shareholders agreement. The Agreement dictates the terms by which one owner may purchase the interest(s) of the other owner(s). These interests often have a pre-determined Value. A co-owner transfer makes for a clear-cut transaction, as long as the pre-determined Value meets the exiting owner's Goals.
Outside Buyers will generally pay the highest price to an exiting business owner. The higher up front Value takes into account all possible synergies of the deal (i.e. economies of scale provided by the Buyer, back office savings, cross-selling opportunities, etc.). Most often in this scenario, the owner will sell to a competitor and leave the business entirely.
What about the owner who wants to sell to an outsider without completely leaving the business? Good news—this owner has yet another option. With the intention of using Capital and Management to improve the operation, a Private Equity Group can buy or invest in the Company. This is an attractive option for the owner who wants to keep a hand in the business since The Private Equity Group often asks the owner to 'stay on' and run the business. Both cash and shares are offered to motivate the owner, thereby meeting his financial goals and allowing him to keep his 'job'. This option can present the best of all worlds.
Larger companies, those worth $100mm or more, can offer their shares in an Initial Public Offering. This type of transaction allows the 'general public' to purchase ownership in the Company. In turn, the Company accesses 'public capital' and its shares trade on a public exchange. When considering this option, an owner must assess the public company costs. The business will need to spend the time and money to report to its shareholders, which can sometimes lead to a short-term mindset. Nonetheless, this option can provide the owner with a high level of liquidity.
Isn't it nice to have options? It isn't necessary for a business owner to simply 'sell' the business and walk away cold turkey, unless of course, that's what he wants. After examining our brief discussion of transfer options, an owner can begin to ask questions that will lead to an Exit Strategy that meets his or her personal Goals.

A site no longer appearing in a directory does not necessarily mean it has been removed; it may have been forwarded to a more appropriate category or temporarily "unreviewed" because it was returning error messages. Also, the processes behind the adding of a site to the directory's database, updating the public pages to display that listing, and appearing in the dmoz.org search engine are independent; one may be ahead of or behind the others. I will note, however, that ODP looks askance at multiple listings or deeplinks for the vast majority of businesses (e.g. non-Fortune 1000 companies).

Pushing more and more for 3D to become a wordwide theatre movement, RealD continues to grow.
RealD is partnering with Chinese entertainment company SMI Corporation Limited to outfit 100 screens across China with its patented 3D technology.
Installation has already begun, the companies said Thursday. The technology will be deployed in the Stellar chain of theaters, which currently operates more than 40 locations in roughly 20 provinces and cities in China.
China's massive population makes it a tantalizing target for movie companies looking to capitalize on growing international box office receipts. IMAX, Dolby and other companies that offer premium movie-going experiences have been busily expanding into the country in recent years.
"This partnership with RealD will combine the world's most cutting-edge 3D cinema technology with our five-star multiplexes, bringing Chinese audiences a brand new movie-going experience," Bruce Ren, president of SMI International Cinemas Limited, said in a statement.
The deal means RealD now has commitments to equip 2,000 3D-screens in China.

OAKLAND — Pilates, the popular core-strengthening workout, is making a splash among Oakland fitness enthusiasts.
The latest in a growing number of Pilates studios around Lake Merritt and North Oakland is Pilates ProWorks, which will hold a grand opening on Jan. 18. The studio offers a more amped-up approach to Pilates, turning the often slow-paced and sweat-free exercise into a high-energy workout. It also offers TRX classes, barre workouts and some spa-like features including a juice bar and detox cleansing plans.
Pilates has long been popular in high-income areas and urban centers such as San Francisco, but the relatively high price of classes at private studios have made the workout less of a fad in lower-income areas. Oakland, though, has seen an influx of studios in recent years.
One month memberships for unlimited Pilates ProWorks classes start at $125. Pilates ProWorks has four Bay Area locations. The Oakland studio is at 3303 Lakeshore Ave.

Good situation for both Palmer and the Tigers. Gives them both a chance to see if he can still play. Would love to see him play again. Lot of great memories.
The Tigers have invited 19 players to spring training this year and it's an interesting mix of guys trying to stick with a major league team, prospects, and some familiar faces. Most surprising among those is Dean Palmer who retired last year. Another familiar face is Mike Rivera who came up through the Tigers organization and was traded to San Diego.
The list of prospects invited includes Tony Giarratano, Mike Rabelo, Maxim St. Pierre, and Jack Hannahan. (I know that in the case of some of these guys I'm using the term prospect loosely)
Other invitees include: Nelson Cruz, Craig Dingman, Sean Douglass, John Ennis, Andrew Good, Matt Roney, Mike Bynum, Doug Creek, Brandon Harper, Sandy Martinez, and Kevin Hooper.
The most conspicuous absensce maybe that of Kyle Sleeth, the top pick in 2003.
Good situation for both Palmer and the Tigers. Gives them both a chance to see if he can still play. Would love to see him play again. Lot of great memories.
I always thought Mike Rivera was going to be solid. Chalk it up as another incorrect prediction, although now that he's back, it'd be nice to see him turn it around.
Maxim St. Pierre has one of the coolest baseball names. Too bad he can't hit.
Rivera shocked a lot of people that season he came roaring out of Spring Training. He just couldn't keep it up. Maybe he can regain his posture, and atleast make it to AAA.
Palmer has zero shot of making the roster, barring an injury to anyone not named Dean Palmer.

Japanese artist Rockin' Jelly Bean (rockinjellybean.com) uses B-movie poster styles from the 1950s and 1960s to create giant-breasted, wasp-waisted babes who pout and shriek melodramatically as sea monsters attack them. In less skilful hands, such Barbie doll-proportioned girls would seem like little more than the result of a fevered teenage boy's imaginings. However, when combined with 1950s horror-movie lettering and phrases like "attack of the bikini snatchers", the result is so overdone that it's funny rather than sordid, poking fun at gratuitous sexualisation of women in the past while enjoying the chance to flash a little nipple in the present. This is the neat contradiction of retro art.
Rockin' Jelly Bean tempers his generously endowed subjects with a sense of mischeif, be it a chocoholic devil-doll or a bikini spilling B-movie babe.
The bright, witty collages of Peter Quinnell (peterquinnell.com) are full of vintage photos of glamorous models interspersed with consumer goods and suggestive elements such as fruit and parted, shiny lips. "I look for strong and colourful images with a certain superficiality; often [using] old advertising images designed to be liked and to sell," he explains.
The juxtaposition of women and consumer goods satirises old-school advertising techniques – to Quinnell, this is essential: "Humour is very important to me – the sexual elements in my work are light and amusing rather than pornographic and exploitative."
Peter Quinnell's Ladyporn
There's a similarly tongue-in-cheek feel to Arn0's work: the French illustrator typically references slick, 1970s and 1980s airbrushing and Miami-style retro slickness to create sexually charged portraits of physically perfect boys and girls. He says that a sense of glamour so extreme that it carries a hint of parody is vital to his images: "A previous agent used the expression 'hyperglamour' to describe my work to clients. I like that because it evokes hyperrealism and glamour, in the dual definition of suggestiveness and of a magic spell."
Adopting particular styles, especially long-established ones such as the 1950s pin-up or 1970s poster art, allows illustrators to hold up a sort of lens that filters how we view the subject-matter. However, at the centre of almost every sexually charged image is a human body – usually a female one. How you go about portraying this can make all the difference between classy and trashy.
Peter Quinnell's Watches5
A delicious tease
Almost all the artists we spoke to underlined the fact that the image must be beautiful – one of the pivotal differences between sexualised art and pornography is that it tends to idealise women rather than displaying them as a collection of fleshy bits.

Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida
My son parked in a handicapped parking space and got a ticket. We fought the ticket using the following defense but it was held to be valid. We are considering an appeal and would like to know:
1) How likely is the defense below to be found applicable?
2) How do we file an appeal specifically?
Florida Statutes, Chapter 316, Section 1955(1) states that "Only a warning may be issued for unlawfully parking in a space designated for persons with disabilities if there is no above-grade sign as provided in s. 553.5041."
The requirements of the sign as found in s. 553.5041(6) state that "Such a sign erected after October 1, 1996, must indicate the penalty for illegal use of the space." The sign is in excellent condition and is not 13 years old. Therefore, it must indicate the penalty for illegal use of the space in order to comply with the statute.
The sign does not indicate the penalty as required by law so it does not comply with Florida statute 553.5041(6).
1 Answer from Attorneys
Did you have a court reporter? Did you tape it and supply the tape to the clerk? Without a record, you won't be able to appeal. How to file can't properly be answered on this forum. An appeal is not something you do on your own. You need to hire an attorney to handle this as soon as possible as there also time limits you face as well.

Convention center announces artist series
The Fairfield Arts & Convention Center has announced its 2014-15 Sondheim Artist Series.
The artist series is now in its sixth year at the convention center. Convention center executive director Rustin Lippincott said the series is about celebrating the rich and diverse entertainment that graces the center's stage and enriches the quality of life for residents.
The series will be called "Your Center, Your Artist Series." It will feature 21 performances, including three special attractions.
"Regardless of your tastes, something at the convention center will entertain and inspire you," Lippincott said. "The community is very important to the convention center, whether it be through the programming or helping other organizations. We're a strong economic driver for Fairfield, and this artist series is a way for us to say thank you to the community."
Convention center events and marketing manager Mandy Mellum said she hopes the community views the center as the hub of the community, which is why the center has reached out for public input in its artist series. Earlier this year, the center held an online vote to decide which of two country artists would perform during the artist series, a contest won by Sammy Kershaw.
Lippincott said he is excited the Stephen Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts will host two nationally touring Broadway acts. One of those is "Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story," an English-based troupe which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The other Broadway act is the 2010 Tony Award-winning show "Memphis: The Musical." Another performance Lippincott cannot wait to see is the Holiday Ice Spectacular.
"This will be the first time we'll have ice skating on the Sondheim stage," he said. "It involves a synthetic type of ice put down on the stage. It allows the spins and dancing that we see on an ice rink."
The final show of the artist series is a concert by Iowa native Simon Estes. Estes has announced that he intends to perform a show in all 99 counties in Iowa.
"Not a week goes by that someone doesn't ask me when Simon Estes is coming here," Lippincott said. "We're going to involve the Fairfield High School choir, which is 200-plus students."
Mellum said she is looking forward to "Cherry Poppin' Daddies," which is a collection of songs sung by the famous "Rat Pack" of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
"This show will revitalize that era of music," she said. "We're also throwing around the idea of hosting a public swing dance after the show."
The schedule of artists is as follows:
Sept. 11: Rockin' Country Tour with "Blackhawk & the Outlaws"
Sept. 18: The Fab Four – The ultimate Beatles tribute

So maybe it should be more clear.

Just because the Toronto Marlies are back in the playoffs for the first time in three years does not mean coach Dallas Eakins wants to savour the experience by dragging Round 1 out the maximum five games.
Eakins, whose division leaders are the favourites against the Rochester Americans, wants his team to use full advantage of home dates at Ricoh Coliseum on Thursday (7 p.m.) and Saturday (3 p.m.) to put Rochester on the ropes back at Blue Cross Arena next week.
"I don't love this being a five-game series," Eakins said on Tuesday. "But the way our team is built with our size and certainly our fitness level, the longer the games go, the longer the series goes … the good thing is that we've already played Rochester 10 times (with a record of 7-3). We're quite familiar with them.
"They're very deep as well. With their big club (Buffalo) not making the playoffs either, they have Marcus Foligno, Corey Tropp (and Luke Adam) back. So they have some depth on their forward lines. You look at their lines in their last game and it's almost carbon copy to our roster. I expect every game to be a one-goal game, low-scoring, tight-checking, with a little bit of nasty."
Every game in the Rochester regular-season series was decided by a goal, three in overtime. But Eakins thinks playing in such conditions has steeled his team, helping make it the AHL's best in team defence.
"When you're No. 1, you certainly have great confidence," he said. "All these one-goal games have us in a real comfort zone. If we're down one, or even, or up by one, our group seems to be okay with that, which is a good feeling for me."
Mike Zigomanis, the 31-year-old leading scorer and shepherd of this team, thinks the Marlies are ready for prime time.
"The young guys will find out that every shift means something, just like in the NHL," Zigomanis said. "Whether it's two minutes or 20 minutes, we're going to throw it all out there."
Matching up the Marlies vs. Americans
Ben Scrivens won the equivalent of the NHL's Jennings Trophy with a 2.04 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. If he falters for any reason, big Jussi Rynnas won 11 games as well as getting some NHL work. Buffalo native David Leggio was a workhorse for the Amerks with a career-high 54 games played, 28 of them wins. He started the final 23 games and made a league-high 1,579 saves, but was 29th among all AHL goalies with a 2.63 GAA.
Once Jake Gardiner gets acclimatized to new teammates, he'll give the Marlies a huge advantage, Toronto has a pair of tough stay-at-home types in Korbinian Holzer and Mark Fraser. Meanwhile, Brayden McNabb, T.J. Brennan and Amerks' penalty leader Joe Finley all saw some time with the Sabres this season.
Toronto has been putting 21-goal scorer Greg Scott on the fourth line because of the big traffic jam ahead of him. But beware Rochester's Marcus Foligno, NHL rookie of the month in March, as well as scoring five AHL game winners this year. Another AHL freshman, Phil Varone, has 41 assists.
Toronto brass will be hoping Joe Colborne picks this series to bust out of a second-half slump and that Carter Ashton comes alive after getting blanked in 15 Leaf games, while he was minus 10.
Special Teams
The Marlies had the AHL's top penalty killing and 10 short-handed goals. Mike Zigomanis, Marcel Mueller and Simon Gysbers all reached double figures in power-play assists. Toronto sometimes employs five forwards on the power play, but Gardiner will change that on the first unit. Brennan and Derek Whitmore combined for 15 power-play goals for Rochester.
Dallas Eakins has been getting some heady praise the past two seasons from his superiors, his players and the media, but now has to justify it with some playoff success. Ron Rolston of the Amerks (brother of Brian) did a great job in the stretch with a record of 4-0-2 to squeeze his team back into playoffs.

Bitter Orange
In this Article
- What other names is Bitter Orange known by?
- What is Bitter Orange?
- How does Bitter Orange work?
- Are there safety concerns?
- Are there any interactions with medications?
- Dosing considerations for Bitter Orange.
How does Bitter Orange work?Bitter orange has many chemicals that affect the nervous system. The concentration and effect of these chemicals can change depending on the part of the plant and the method used for preparation. These chemicals can squeeze blood vessels, increase blood pressure, and cause the heart to beat faster.
Are there safety concerns?Bitter orange is LIKELY SAFE for children and adults when taken in the amounts found in food. Bitter orange essential oil is POSSIBLY SAFE when applied to the skin or inhaled as aromatherapy.
But bitter orange is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken as a supplement for a medical purpose such as weight loss. Bitter orange, particularly when taken with stimulants such as caffeine or caffeine-containing herbs, increases the risk for high blood pressure, fainting, heart attack, stroke, and other severe side effects.
There are reports that bitter orange can trigger headaches, including migraine and cluster headaches, in some people.
Bitter orange can cause sensitivity to the sun. Wear sunblock outside, especially if you are light-skinned.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Bitter orange is LIKELY SAFE during pregnancy when used in the amounts found in food. However, it is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when used in medicinal amounts. The effects of bitter orange on breast-feeding infants aren't known. Stay on the safe side and avoid using bitter orange during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
Diabetes: Some evidence suggests that bitter orange may interfere with blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Use with caution and monitor blood sugar levels closely.
High blood pressure: Some studies suggest that bitter orange, especially in combination with caffeine, can increase blood pressure in healthy people. Other studies have found no such blood pressure elevation. To date, there haven't been any studies looking at the effect of bitter orange on blood pressure in people who already have high blood pressure. Don't take a chance. Avoid using bitter orange, especially in combination with stimulants such as caffeine, if you have high blood pressure.
Glaucoma: Bitter orange might worsen glaucoma. Avoid using it if you have this condition.
Heart disease: Using bitter orange, especially in combination with caffeine or other stimulants, might increase the risk of serious side effects in people with a particular heart problem called "long QT interval syndrome" (named after the wave pattern made by a electrocardiogram).
Irregular heartbeat (heart arrhythmia): Some studies suggest that bitter orange, especially in combination with caffeine, can increase heart rate in healthy people. Other studies have found no such effect on heart rate. So far, there have been no studies of the effect of bitter orange on people who have an irregular heartbeat. Avoid using bitter orange, especially in combination with stimulants such as caffeine, if you have an irregular heartbeat.
Surgery: Bitter orange acts like a stimulant, so it might interfere with surgery by increasing heart rate and blood pressure. Stop taking bitter orange at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

Consumer Affairs / Choosing Classes Is No Child's Play
A Web search for after-school enrichment classes for children will generate hundreds of thousands of results, and for good reason. These days kids can fill their minds with knowledge, experience new things and dabble in pursuits that their parents could only dream about - and all in just one afternoon a week.
Apart from the familiar standbys - chess, music and ballet - your little prince or princess can also learn circus acrobatics, capoeira or Samurai Aikido martial arts.
The confusing abundance of choices and parents' second thoughts about whether they chose the right class for their child and whether the child is enjoying himself, contribute nothing to parents' peace of mind.
"There are a few reasons for the tendency among parents to send children to several classes," says Dr. Edna Katznelson, a clinical psychologist from the Kibbutz Seminary and Tel Aviv University. "Some parents are not home [in the afternoons] and are looking for a substitute for quality parenting time. Modern psychology gives [parents] the feeling that they lack expertise in many areas and need experts. Parenting time is not properly appreciated, and quite often parents actually work more and are with their children less, specifically due to the enrichment classes."
Katznelson says that the parents' guilt is also a problem. If they do not have much time or energy to spend with their children, parents try to compensate with an enrichment class that resembles a shared activity, such as reading a story aloud or going to the park. Another reason is that parents view the classes as a social activity.
"This may be true for children with a social problem, but most kids can invite friends over to play and be invited by others without the framework of the class," says Katznelson. "Children don't need so many enrichment classes, especially not young children who are at pre-school until 4:00 P.M., or children whose parents need to work overtime to pay for the classes."
"If a parent has money and wants to invest in their child, that's great," says David Ben Nissan of Paamonim, a non-profit organization that helps families learn how to balance their household income and expenses.
"If a person can only afford one class, he should make sure his child chooses an activity he will attend regularly," he says.
Parents can minimize the risk and frustration of a child quitting an enrichment class half way through the year by discussing the option with the child and making sure they really want to go, and are not signing up out of peer pressure.
If a child is going to take music lessons, Katznelson and Ben-Nissan suggest borrowing an instrument or buying one second-hand, until the child decides this is what he really wants.
If you are feeling guilty about not registering your child for a class taught by a former Israeli pole vaulting champion, you can relax.
"Exclusivity is totally unnecessary," says Ben-Nissan. "Classes at public institutions such as youth community centers should cost NIS 150-NIS 200 a month for a weekly class, which is usually enough for a child."
Private classes can cost up to NIS 200 per lesson, and if a family has several children the total cost can be in the tens of thousands of shekels a year.

Veraz Networks, Inc. announced that mobile operators in Asia and other rapidly growing markets can deploy Veraz products to realize an up to ten-fold increase in voice capacity between existing mobile switching centers (MSCs). Veraz's I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways allows service providers to cost-effectively accommodate the growing demand for mobile operators' services. This solution is part of a practical stepwise migration to IMS and NGN.
To increase capacity among MSCs, mobile operators in rapidly growing markets have historically been forced to either build out their own transmission network or lease increased TDM transmission capacity from network providers. Veraz's voice compression technology uses VoIP to increase the capacity of existing TDM transmission links by compressing up to 10 E1s onto a single E1, while preserving high voice quality.
By enabling compressed VoIP over TDM using an IP media gateway, Veraz allows mobile operators to accommodate increased traffic on their existing TDM transmission links while avoiding the expenses of building a transmission network or leasing additional TDM transmission capacity.
"As operators think about a migration to VoIP and IMS, simple steps can be taken that have an immediate ROI effect," said Doug Sabella, CEO of Veraz. "We recognize the complete conversion to IMS will not happen overnight, but believe it can be accelerated with solutions that provide great value today while also serving as an integral part of an overall IMS migration plan."

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Some Clear Channel Communications Inc. radio stations are switching to a liberal talk format, Broadcasting & Cable said Tuesday.
The company said it would change four stations -- including stations in San Diego and Ann Arbor, Mich. -- to progressive talk within 60 days. The stations will carry Air America Radio's Al Franken and Randi Rhodes, as well as other syndicated talkers and local hosts.
"In certain local markets, listeners are clearly finding progressive talk radio entertaining and informative," said John Hogan, Clear Channel chief executive officer. "We've been delighted with the ratings generated by our progressive talk radio stations."
Clear Channel's Portland, Ore., outlet, KPOJ-AM, went from No. 26 to No. 3 among adults 25-64 after switching to progressive talk earlier this year.
In July, Clear Channel signed a deal to broadcast Air America Radio on its Miami outlet, WINZ-AM. The Palm Beach Post reported Clear Channel decided Air America Radio was a good fit for the Miami market -- given the success of Michael Moore's anti-Bush movie "Fahrenheit 9/11."
"We saw some impressive numbers from stations doing this format," said Clear Channel-Miami general manager Peter Bolger.

A COMPANY has secured the future of Scouting troops after they issued a desperate plea for help to fix their leaking hut roof.
Earlier this year members of the 6th Banbury Beavers, Cubs and Scouts launched an appeal to raise £15,000 to repair damage caused by vandals climbing on the building and throwing debris onto the roof.
Supporters of the troops began contacting local businesses for help and donations before Hawkins Group of Companies, based in Banbury, offered to undertake the work for free.
Geoff Fraser, chairman of the 6th Banbury executive committee, said: "The roof was in danger of collapsing and we were under threat of closure. We were using mops and buckets and only had about half of the floor area to use because it was soaking wet.
"Thanks to Hawkins the future of the 6th Banbury scouting troops is secure. We needed to get £15,000 for a new roof and that would have meant getting a loan. However Hawkins offered to do it for free, although we did make a £2,500 contribution."
Mike Hawkins, commercial director of Hawkins Group of Companies said: "When we saw the poor state of the roof and the water it was awful and we felt compelled to help.
"Smiths of Bloxham and MG Scaffolding also assisted us for free and helped us to give something back to the community."

I started a new job last Monday, but I managed to get this wall hanging finished. I haven't started anything else, which explains why my sewing area is still halfway organized :wink:
This is just a Dresden plate wreath with some border fabric and a fabric bow stitched on in a few strategic places. I sprayed the ends of the bow with some sizing, then wrapped them around a couple of kk2000 cans until they dried to get some curl in them.
I should be able to keep this to decorate with this season as long as DD doesn't take a liking to it!

I haven't gotten any odd looks for the softtop yet (at least not to my face). Reminds me, anyone planning on hitting NH for thurs fri sat? Maybe meet a few of you if you're up there. Look for the kook on the white softtop and ratty old wetsuit.

Luck of the Draw Earthen Vessels, the Sandra Organ Dance Company is currently showcasing Luck of the Draw, the 13th annual Black History Month Dance Concert, an evening of contemporary dance by choreographer Sandra Organ Solis. Of the nine dances featured, Delight Songs was the winner — the choreography was concise and the performance lighthearted. Trios, duets and solos unfolded on top of an enchanting soundtrack. The voices of children recounted a metaphoric play-by-play of the movement of the dancers — "I am an airplane, I am the dream in I have a dream, I am the goddess of a fruit tree" — leaving the viewer to ask: Is the choreography reflecting the text, or are the children describing the dance as they see it? Another gem of the evening was Rock Paper Scissor (2004). Four dancers decked out in combat fatigues tumbled, wrangled and saluted against a backdrop of blocky, graphic hand signals. While I deeply appreciated the equal-opportunity partnering of women and men, women and women, and men and men, the potential political punch of this dance fell a bit short. Also of note was Rails, Rows and Seasons, a vibrant premiere directly inspired by Four Seasons, a painting by Houston artist John T. Biggers. Noteworthy performers of the evening include Paola Georgudis, Courtney D. Jones and Candace Rattliff, who each delivered a brightness with their dancing that transcended the execution of the choreography. Through February 27.

Paradise Hotel Catastrophic Theatre takes on playwright Richard Foreman's wayward and terribly unfunny dissection of sex. Foreman, the darling of underground New York theater, is an acquired taste, but this dank, existential sex farce — loosely inspired by the wittier, less obnoxious originals of Georges Feydeau — is a mess. Still, Catastrophic deserves credit for a flawless production. The costumes (by Tiffani Fuller) are clever, and the set (designed by Greg Dean, who co-directed with Troy Schulze, also arts and culture editor at Houston Press) is witty and candy box-ideal for a sex farce. The sound design (Greg Dean again, and Chris Bakos) couldn't be better, and given what the actors have to work with, the performances are exquisitely shaded. Who could act any more insanely in heat than Matt Carter as Frankie Teardrop, who runs his tongue over his pencil-thin moustache and twitches out of control, yet remains steadfastly loveable? So too does George Parker as Martin X, in a most becoming green satin dress throughout, and Kyle Sturdivant as oh-so-gay Professor Percy Kittens, who's impaled with bouquets of roses and implores us to "Look at me, look at me." Then there's voluptuous Jessica Janes as voluptuous Jessica Juggs, on permanent boil for a physical encounter, and master of ceremonies Drake Simpson, as Drake Van Dyke, an oily confection complete with phallus and red fez. The characters, such as they are, are searching for — wait for it — Hotel Fuck. Of course, once they get there, as if in a bus-and-truck No Exit, they can't leave and no one ever has sex. There's also a foreboding, omnipotent voice that controls the action and makes them repeat sections when things go askew. They fall down, bounce back, shoot themselves and then are resurrected. An entire evening with everyone saying "fuck" every other sentence quickly loses all shock value and whatever little humor it started with. There's one shining moment: Janes sits at a table, and all is blissfully quiet. A platter is held behind her head, as if a halo. She wears a tiara. The light seems to emanate from inside her as she slowly spins a tale of ecstatic memory. She's a penny-ante Madonna, and our heart goes out to her. It's the only part of the bawdy vaudeville that touches us, because it finally shows some real emotion. The rest is Benny Hill on a bad day. A very bad day. Through February 26. DiverseWorks ArtSpace, 1117 East Fwy., 713-522-2723. — DLG

The War of the Worlds The Martians have landed — on the FrenetiCore stage! This is an ambitious, at times sparse, true re-imagining of the 1978 concept album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. FrenetiCore's production is nothing short of zany. Best described as a dance-centric rock-opera extravaganza, The War of the Worlds features very little onstage dialogue and singing, but rather heavily relies on voice-over narration, dance choreography and silent acting to move the production along. With minimal set design, panoramic video projections set the tone for each scene. In the first act, we are introduced to the narrator, his love interest, the Martian and the three-legged fighting machines. The Martian, who resembles more of a swamp thing than a little green man, undoubtedly steals the first half of the show with his almost-sexy wiggle dance and orange death ray. Act two opens with the dance of The Red Weed — a noxious Martian plant taking hold on earth. In skintight metallic-red body suits, three dancers excellently interpret this role with the quintessential acro-dance stylings of Rebecca French. With two sizable musical numbers in the second act, we hear strong vocal performances by both Ekanem Ebinne and Robert Thoth. The mix of science fiction and musical theater, with a dash of Victorian nostalgia and interpretive dance, adds up to a kooky yet enjoyable romp to the Red Planet. 5102 Navigation Blvd, 832-426-4624. — RT

Kids investigate ancient media technology (floppy disk, vinyl record, etc.)
I first watched it on an iPod, so I didn't see the translations, but I actually kind of liked it better when I couldn't understand what the kids were saying in French. That left me feeling as isolated from them as they feel from the gadgets they are investigating, which in turn made the uncanny moment at about 2:40 all the more wonderful.

I Pod VideoReviewing: Apple I Pod Apple 30 Gb I Pod Video Aac/Mp3 Player White | Rating:
I originally got this iPod Video when it first came out as a birthday present. My daily commute takes about one hour one way and spending that time listening to music instead of staring at a wall was a good reason.
To start, I was very pleased with the iPod at first. It had a nice, sleek design and was easy to just put into my pocket when I wanted to use it. The earbuds were also comfortable, even though they did have their moments when they fell out every now and then. The first peeve I began to develop abou the iPod though was the batterly life. My cellphone outlived the iPod's battery by up to five hours, with the iPod battery being dead after 4-6 hours max.
I moved to Maryland over the summer and had my iPod in my backpack during the move. I got one hell of a surprise when I took it out: the screen had a black spot in it and the iPod wasn't working. This was pretty weird to me since I had no hard things in my backpack which might've done the damage and how fickle the iPod really was.
If this happens to you, forget about fixing it. Apple offered to fix the screen for $200. Considering this thing cost my mother almost $400 to begin with, something that lasted only three months isn't worth it's expense. If you're going to buy an iPod, just buy a Shuffle. Too expensive, too short-lasting.
