Reiki Circles , sometimes referred to as Reiki Shares, are gatherings of Reiki practitioners to practice the healing art of Reiki as a group. Some Reiki circles are exclusive, open only to trained Reiki practitioners. An exclusive Reiki Circle is a gathering where practitioners can let their hair down a bit. These circles are meant as occasions to socialize with other Reiki healers, support each other's paths as healers, and to exchange Reiki treatments with one another.

Open Reiki Circles are invitational types of gatherings which allow the general public to come and experience Reiki in a group setting. Public circles are mainly intended to bring awareness to Reiki and to help educate anyone who is curious about learning about Reiki. These gatherings also help to promote Reiki practitioners in the area. Many regional Reiki Circles are scheduled weekly or monthly at the same time and place. Attendance may be free, by donation, or require a small fee ($5.00 to $10.00).

What is Reiki?

Five Tips for Hosting a Reiki Circle

Search for a Reiki Circle in Your Area

This is an index of Reiki circles or Reiki shares that meet routinely. Reiki shares are a wonderful way for Reiki practitioners to socialize with and learn from other practitioners. My goal in compiling this index is that everyone who wishes to attend a Reiki circle will be able to locate one in their region.

Pause in Joy Reiki Circle
Region Where Circle Meets: City of Angeles Reiki Circle, Los Angeles, 90036
In Brief: I have been facilitating Reiki Circles in Los Angeles for the past 5 years since arriving from Scotland. I create a space for like-minded souls to bask in the collective consciousness using Reiki energy. Reiki is not a theory. And it is time to PUT DOWN the books on energy. These bi-monthly Reiki Circles are community based for those looking to plug in each month to the Spiritual Conscious Life-Force Energy in a group setting. It give those who have never experienced Reiki a chance to see, feel and know what it is all about.
What Participants Need to Know: The Reiki Circles, are for both newbies and students of Reiki to collectively connect monthly. As the power in all of us collectively is stronger than the power of one of us this energetic fusing of our intention has brought amazing stories of change in people's lives. This gathering focuses our attention on ourselves, others wellbeing, stronger health, success, determination, balance, enlightenment, happiness and more joy to create a unified field of pure positive energy that we can use every month.

The Circle is in two parts. The first part consists of a beautiful guided meditation to create a sense of peaceful and calm for our energies to gentle mingle together. Each person receives the gift of a one-to-one "healing attunements" while in this serene space of meditation to clear blockages, form clarity, increase empowerment, release toxins that no longer serve you. Each circle produces its own special vibration and has created epiphanies for some, clarity for others with a deep sense of connectedness to ocean of consciousness.

The second part is when we send the powerful energy of Reiki utilizing our group's energy since the healing attunement. This massive unified positive healing energy is transported through time and space to our families, friends, projects, dreams, businesses and aspirations. Participants are asked to bring symbols of those people and things that need our energy; photographs of loved ones, vision books/boards, head shots, scripts and yes I have even had dogs in the center of the circle. Those students attuned to Reiki will hold the energy for those not attuned, as a chorus of chanting AUM's fused with the Kotodama linking our Reiki intention to form energy for the highest good.

USUI Mikao Sensei (1865-1926), Founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho)

Reiki is a healing practice that originated in Japan. Reiki practitioners place their hands lightly on or just above the person receiving treatment, with the goal of facilitating the person's own healing response. In the United States, Reiki is part of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).

What is Reiki ? - Reiki is a Japanese term.

【霊】Rei means something miraculous, ethereal, transcendental and sacred.
【気】Ki means the atmosphere or something subtle or the energy of the universe.

The Japanese words "霊気 Reiki can be defined as a miraculous and sacred energy of the universe, which sustains all life (Reiki is the name, used by Usui Sensei, for the universal/cosmic energy). The word "REIKI" is a common noun in the Japanese language. This cosmic energy is called with a variety of names - "Chi" in China, "Ki" in Japan, "Prana in India, "Mana" in Hawaii etc.

PRACTICE - Reiki is based on the idea that there is a universal (or source) energy that supports the body's innate healing abilities. Practitioners seek to access this energy, allowing it to flow to the body and facilitate healing. Reiki is generally practiced as a form of self-care. Reiki can be received from someone else and may be offered in a variety of health care settings, including medical offices, hospitals, hospices and clinics. It can be practiced on its own or along with other CAM therapies or conventional medical treatments.

USES - According to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey, which included a comprehensive survey of CAM use by Americans, more than 1.2 million adults had used an energy healing therapy, such as Reiki, in the previous year.

The Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai (meaning the Usui Reiki Healing Method Learning Society) is the Reiki organization in Japan dedicated to keeping the Reiki teachings alive. The group holds regular meetings throughout Japan, where they meet to practice Reiki and receive Reiju empowerment for cleansing, purification and to strengthen their ability to access Reiki. I would like to incorporate some of the Gakkai's practices into our Reiki shares, including doing attunements at each meeting. I feel that it is important for all of us Reiki practitioners to regularly practice Reiki for the healing of the Self.

We will start with clearing and grounding exercises and a 10 minute discussion/practice on a Reiki topic chosen for each meeting then proceed with the Reiki group sessions of 15 - 20 minutes per person, depending on the size of the group. We will end with light snack and drinks and have a brief open forum for sharing and feedback.

South Carolina

Carolina Reiki Clinics
Region Where Circle Meets: Carolina Reiki Institute, Inc., Columbia, South Carolina
In Brief: These Reiki Circles began in 1998 as a way to educate the community, to make Reiki treatments available to those who could not afford private treatments and as a way to give Reiki students a place to practice on others as well as to get feedback from each other. We meet the first Tuesday of each month in the a.m. and the first Thursday of each month in the p.m. These circles are open to everyone, but registration by phone or email the day before is required.
What Participants Need to Know: Participants need not have any prior experience with Reiki and can expect to receive a treatment from the group as well as to participate in the giving of Reiki if desired.

To facilitate the group process, we begin by joining hands and balancing our energies together. Participants who haven't been attuned/initiated into Reiki will receive a "temporary" attunement to allow them to experience what it is like to give Reiki. Instructions are given as to how to proceed.

Participants, who are attending just to receive a treatment and do not wish to give treatments, are treated first and then are free to leave.

Once we have completed this balancing, one person lays on the Reiki table(s) and everyone else gathers around and gives that person Reiki. Some lay their hands directly on the person receiving and others work off the body. Group sizes vary, so there may be anywhere from two to six on one. As each person's treatment is completed, they join in giving to the next person until all participants have received their Reiki treatment.

Afterwards, there is time for questions, comments and discussion.

Share with us the wonderful feeling of joy and peace that Reiki brings. Our Reiki/Energy Share Circle is for practitioners to offer their services as a way to "give back" to the community, for those that are curious about Reiki and have not had an opportunity to experience it.
What Participants Need to Know: We do Reiki Shares a little bit differently... most of our participants are gifted. Let us know if you are interested in receiving messages received during your Reiki Session :) Please feel free to bring snacks to share. People tend to hang around after Reiki and enjoy each other company. It's also helpful to recharge and ground with food after giving and receiving Reiki.

I always have Benedryl on hand.

Assessment for Instruction
Dr. Douglas Fisher, Contributing Author
There are any numbers of assessment tools that teachers can create (or buy) to help them plan instruction. It's not the assessment that matters to me, but rather the ways in which wise teachers use the information they gain from the assessment to inform their instruction. I've come to think that we should stop saying "formative assessment" because almost every assessment that I've used could be either formative or summative, depending on how I use it.
To use assessment tools formatively, I think that there are several important considerations. First, the assessment has to be clearly linked with a learning target or objective. If students (and teachers) don't know what students are supposed to be learning, it's hard to measure that learning. Further, students may not be giving it their best shot if they don't know what it is that they're supposed to be learning. When assessments come out of the blue, disconnected from learning targets, the data are of questionable use.
Second, students need success criteria. In advance of an assessment, during the learning phase, students should know what quality work looks like. They need examples and non-examples as well as good and great examples. When this happens, expectations are clear and student performance can be measured against an agreed upon standard.
Of course, teachers need a lot of tools to use. There are literally hundreds of ways to check for understanding. These tools can be organized into several categories, including oral language, written language, non-verbal, projects and performances, and tests. The tool that is used has to be consistent with the learning target and success criteria. A mismatch may lead to incorrect identification of students' needs.
When these systems are in place — students know what they are supposed to be learning, understand what success looks like, and their teachers select appropriate tools — the information gained from the data collection can be used to inform instruction. When there are breaks in this chain, assessment is of little formative use.

Hull's Robert Snodgrass apologies on social media for diving v Crystal Palace
Robert Snodgrass is a diver
There was a crazy match at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday, as Hull and Crystal Palace played out a maddening 3-3 draw which failed to help either side's relegation problems.
Hull broke the deadlock in the 27th minute in a hugely controversial moment, as Tigers forward Robert Snodgrass fell in the Palace box, the ref bought the dive, and the Scottish international picked himself up to convert from the spot.
It was clear that Snodgrass hadn't been fouled in the box by Eagles defender Scott Dann, yet the Hull striker had no problem in conning the official at the time.
After the match however, Snodgrass has said sorry.
Turns to social media
Holding his hands up high, the Hull forward admitted it wasn't a penalty, but he tried to explain why he fell to the floor.
Some fans appalled Snodgrass for his apology, while others used the tweet as a way of lampooning Hull's star player.

Apologies from my end it was never a penalty, but genuinely thought defender was going to slide, so tried to ride the tackle

@robsnodgrass7 @BBCMOTD would've been better if you told the ref that on the pitch.

Watch & Listen
Brandy Rayana Norwood , known professionally as Brandy, is an American R&B singer-songwriter, record producer, television entertainer, actress, and film producer.
Born into a musical family in McComb, Mississippi and raised in Carson, California, Norwood first appeared in a supporting role on the short-lived ABC sitcom Thea in 1993. Her engagement led to her own star vehicle, successful UPN sitcom Moesha in 1996, and resulted in roles in the 1998 horror sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and the TV films Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997) and Double Platinum (1999), two of television's best rated special programs.
In 1993, she signed a recording contract with Atlantic, releasing her self-titled debut album a year after. Following a major success with Grammy Award-winning "The Boy Is Mine", a duet with singer Monica, and her second album Never Say Never in 1998, a series of successful records established her as one of the most successful of the new breed of urban R&B female vocalists to emerge during the mid-to late 1990s.
The RIAA ranks Norwood as one of the best-selling female artists in American music history, having sold over 8.5 million copies of her five studio albums in the United States and over 25 million albums worldwide, to date. Additionally, she has won over 100 awards as a recording artist.[2] In 1999, Billboard ranked Norwood among the top 20 of the top pop artists of the 1990s.

It was lovely to have met you as we found you to be a very sweet natured person with a lovely personality, you must surely be a great asset to your company albeit the sad reasons that you bring help to your clients through your work. I wish you and your family well for the future.
A private client: asbestos team
I very much appreciate all the hard work you have put in to bring about this satisfactory outcome and thank you for your patience.
I just wanted to say thank you personally for your compassion and support you gave over the sadness of this dreadful disease to both of us. It was a pity Mr C did not survive long enough to see the outcome but I know he would have been reassured knowing that at least some justice had been made and for me to be financially more secure. Although things will never be the same, life has to move on and friends and family are keeping me very busy.
Thank you for your letter with the result of my asbestos enquiry. We would like to pay a big thank you for your work and efforts in representing me which we appreciate very much. All the best for the future from us both.
I just wish to express my thanks for the work that you and your office did on behalf of myself and my late husband. Best wishes.
Just want to say again thank you for all of your hard work with my case. It feels good to know I have finally got closure.. may I wish you all the very best for the future.
We have heard the general public say that Moore Blatch are expensive, but there are no other solicitors we would rather have representing us and handling difficult and emotional cases for us. We have used you in situations that we have had difficulty in during the last 30 years, all of which have been handled with such care and sensitivity. Thank goodness we have such an outstanding firm of solicitors in Lymington and Southampton to represent us when the need arises.
Well done Moore Blatch, may your endeavours long continue and succeed. We just want to say a big thank you. You are very much appreciated by us and many more of your clients. Please do not alter or change.
A private client: clinical negligence team
Sarah Stanton is very thorough when she's committed to the case. She provides you with her complete backing.
I had a fantastic impression of Eleanor. When I had to chase stuff up, she always got back to me. She was organised in terms of the reports she needed, and was approachable. She worked well.
Nothing was too much trouble. There are no words I can say to let people know just how grateful I am to everyone at Moore Blatch. A company where you really are put at ease, during what is a very difficult time. From my heart, I thank you all.

Top 3 Deadly Mistakes To Avoid On Your Second Interview

Job Seekers are also exposed to best articles for career growth and development. Click Here to Subscribe for Job Alerts We strongly advise graduates not to pay money before getting a Job. Report fraudulent jobs to [email protected]
You have just gone through the stress of a first interview and luckily you have aced it. The hiring manger now wants to bring you in for a second one. Congratulations on that step!
"Just because you got through to the second interview doesn't really guarantee you the job" says Muthoni Ndegwa, a Client Services Manager at Corporate Staffing Services Limited, a leading recruitment firm that offers career advisory services that includes interview coaching and CV writing. A second interview is no different from the first. You need to handle it, just as you did the first one to guarantee you placement in the company.
So What are the Mistakes People Make in Second Interviews?
1. Refusing to prepare
Naturally, most people assume that you don't need to research the company since you have already made it to this stage. Probably many have not. After all, what else is left to do? All you have to do is continue being a delight, which isn't a bad thing. However, don't make the mistake of just going for an interview without having prepared adequately. Most of the time, you find that in a second interview, you are likely to meet new interviewers, hence the more better reason you should prepare well.
Instead, prior to the interview conduct a background check on the company on their website and social media pages. You never know what you may have missed that may just come up during the interview. The new knowledge will make the interview process flow smoothly as it makes conversing easier.
2. You Think it's Time to Make Bold Requests
Just because they gave you a chance to come for a second interview doesn't mean, you get too comfortable and start making unrealistic demands. These include crazy ideas like wanting to have a one on one meeting with a company executive or being given a sneak peak view into company information that is only reserved for employees.
Some even go to the extent of arriving three hours before the interview, since they want to 'hang around' with the employees to learn the company culture. Keep calm! You have not been hired. Just because they called you in for the second interview doesn't mean, they think you are the best candidate. Be humble. However, don't strain much. If you need anything, like to use the restroom just ask. Just avoid asking for things you know very well you don't need.
3. Getting Too Casual in Your Conversations
At this point of the interview process, it's natural to feel like you know some of the interviewers you interacted with the first time on a personal level. It's therefore easy to let down your guard and start sharing information that is too personal. The truth is that no matter how relaxed you feel; keep the conversation as professional as possible.
What you need to keep in mind is that, this is still an interview like any other. It's not a casual meeting you would have with friends to discuss what's trending on social media. However if you have something personal that you think is relevant to the interview, there is no harm in sharing.
Making it to the second interview stage, should be a great accomplishment that you should be proud of. However, while at it, don't walk into the room like the jobs is already yours. This is still an interview, to determine if you are the best fit but that doesn't mean being too uptight. Instead carry yourself in a professional way that might just be the reason you are given that offer letter at the end.

Children's Well-Being Improving
July 9, 1999
The lot of children in the U.S. is improving and, in fact, they are thriving, according to a federal study from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
- The infant mortality rate fell from 10.9 deaths per thousand live births in 1983 to 7.2 deaths per thousand in 1997.
- Children under 18 constituted 26 percent of the population in 1998 -- down from 34 percent in 1970.
- The study concluded that, for the first time, Hispanic children outnumber black children in the U.S.
- In 1997, rates of serious violent crime by juveniles between 12 and 17 hit 30.7 per 1,000 youths -- the lowest level since 1985 and well down from the peak of 51.9 in 1993.
Births to girls age 15 to 17 continued a downtrend from 38.7 births per 1,000 girls in 1991 to 32.1 in 197 -- although this figure is still higher than in most other industrialized countries.
The proportion of children living in high-income families has increased from 17 percent in 1980 to 25 percent in 1997; however, the proportion living in extreme poverty rose from 7 percent to 8 percent.

The Largest Selection of Used High Security Safes in the USA
Updated 2017 Inventory
High Security Safes
"Medium Security" Safes*
Depository Safes
As many of you know, we provide "real information" & guidance
For the first time in our history, we're opening our doors to everyone, from safe dealers to commercial customers, to private consumers. Since we have the largest selection of pre-owned "burglary protection safes" in the country, we're sure we'll have a safe to meet your requirements.
Call or email us now with your specific needs and we'll come up with a solution!
40 year old Chubb / Chatwood-Milner Monarch Model 642817 / reconditioned & refinished
30 year old Chubb Bankers Treasury / Model 342019 / reconditioned & refinished
27 year old ISM Treasury TRTL-30x6 / Model TR6529 with new fascia panel / reconditioned & refinished
35 year old ISM Jewelgard TL-30 / Model F3024 / reconditioned & refinished
50+ year old Mosler Record Safe / Model 3360A (4-hr.-350) / Before Shelves Installed
We have been in the "reconditioned" safe business since 1904. Back then it was called the "used" safe business, but since we rarely sell used safes "as is", we call them by a more appropriate name.
The only products we will resell are ones that are in good working condition and that once they are reconditioned, can be warrantied and relied upon for a lifetime of use. Damaged parts are repaired or replaced. Locks, if not operating successfully, are repaired or replaced. Products are refinished (unless the finish of the used product, when received, is in excellent condition). Sometimes it's difficult to tell if one of these products is reconditioned or new!
How do we obtain used equipment? We come across equipment in a variety of methods. Usually, these products come from companies that are moving, expanding, upgrading, closing, etc. We find these products from all corners of the USA and sometimes overseas. The majority are products that were standard models produced by manufacturers throughout the world, yet we do come across many unique customized models as well.
We usually have from 300-500 used products in stock. We have a full shop and staff prepared to repair, recondition, modify and refinish these products, so if the product you select needs to be outfitted with a custom locking system or interior, we can make it happen.
There's Nothing We Can't Do. To give you an idea of what we have done in the past, we've modified a double door fire protection safe and made it into a double door vault door. We've reduced the depth of a large steel safe so it could fit through a narrow doorway. We've outfitted a large safe with multiple locking compartments and drawers. We've even taken a safe with a right swing door and modified it to swing to the left.
Burglary Protection Safes and Vault Doors. The burglary protection equipment we resell are those that, once reconditioned, are equal to (or stronger than) the security level to which they were manufactured We will not resell a burglarized safe where the barrier material has been removed, thereby compromising the security level. (It is important to note that we occasionally repair and resell safes that were attacked where there is only external cosmetic damage...think of an automobile that has damaged fender or broken light.)
Reconditioned Fire Protection Safes and Insulated Files. People sometimes ask us if one of these products ever went through a fire. The answer is no. We would never resell a fire protection product that went through a fire as it would no longer qualify as such a product. We would never purchase such a product in the first place.
Warranty. Unless otherwise noted, all reconditioned equipment comes with a one year mechanical warranty as it pertains to product defects. Locks in excellent working condition come with a 90-day warranty. (If a lock is replaced at our discretion with a new lock the warranty is then extended for one year.) We reserve the right to repair or replace anything found to be defective or non-operational.
How We Operate It is important to note that the insurance industry looks to us to provide accurate information to them about the products we promote to their clients. We therefore have chosen to always take "the high road" and do the right thing for our customers.
At Empire, you can buy with full confidence that you will get exactly what you asked for. We appreciate the opportunity to guide our clients to the appropriate product(s) for their use, and give them enough information to help them make a responsible decision. Whether you purchase new or reconditioned, you can be sure you'll get what you pay for.

A longtime favorite of fans and critics alike, The Horse Flies blend Americana roots with indie rock, ethnic percussion, poetic songwriting, and a fierce, percolating groove. With a love of both the traditional and the modern, The Flies have consistently explored the intersection of the two to create a musical world all their own. Part trance-inducing minimalism, achieved through a neo-primitive approach to fiddle music, and part folk-rock American gothic, achieved through emotive singing and haunting original songs, The Flies are recognized for their intensity, integrity, musicianship, quirkiness, and creativity.
"The Horse Flies churn out swirling, addictive songs, blending tradition with invention." Rolling Stone

Who would have thought that billable hour inflation would follow a bimodal distribution?
The intuitive prediction is that very few people would have perfectly clean, not at all dubious billables; most people would fudge a little bit, but probably in the <10% or 10-30% range, and then numbers would taper off as you approach the more serious levels of fraud.
When we conducted our poll about how many of your billable hours were dubious [Rounding up 2 minutes to 0.1 hours, unnecessary research, billing two clients for the same travel, describing stapling papers as "preparing documents for trial," and straight up fraud.], there was a large grouping in the cheat-a-little ranges, and less as you get higher. But, the two highest categories caught us by surprise.
24% of you said that you didn't fudge your billables at all. We admit a bit of a mistake in creating the poll (and it wouldn't be scientific either way) in that we didn't include a category for people who do flat fee billing. So, we don't know if those people answered they don't fudge billable hours because they can't, or if they didn't answer the poll because it didn't apply, or if they picked a category that reflected the flat fee equivalent: halfassing.
The next highest category was the other extreme. 21% answered that more than 150% of their billable hours were dubious, a claim which is itself dubious, and could either refute or confirm their response.
The rest of the responses were pretty much as expected, 19% said less than 10%, and 20% said that 10-30% of their hours weren't on the up-and-up. After that, it trailed off.
This leaves us with the question of what the average rate of dubious billing was, so we took a weighted average. Now, we're dealing with ranges, so what we did was just take the average of each range. None at all = 0%; <10% = 5%; 10-30% = 20%; 30-50% = 40%; 50-75% = 67.5%; 75%+ = 87.5%; 150%+ = 100%.
The result is that 34% of billable hours are in the grey area, or beyond. Don't feel too bad though, that's probably close to the rate of discount your client is going to ask for. In the end, it all evens out.
Except of course, as we learned on the latest episode of Blind Drunk Justice (Season 3, Episode 2), there are a few people who under bill. We have no idea how to factor that number in.

Wrestling: O'Reilly wins it for mom
ST. PAUL – Bailee O'Reilly soaked in the moment.
His final high-school match ended in victory with a 13-11 decision over Jackson County Central's Dalton Wagner for the Class 1A 160-pound championship Saturday.
O'Reilly won his second state title, becoming the first Goodhue wrestler to win a pair of state titles. With a heavy heart, O'Reilly went to his knees and pointed to the heavens, honoring the person he wanted to win a state title for.
"Last year, I wanted to do it more than anything for myself, my coaches and stuff," O'Reilly said. "This year, I want to dedicate it to my mom."
On Sept. 29, 2008, Bailee's mother, Jamie, passed away at 32 years old after battling cancer. Bailee is the oldest of her five sons.
"That was special to have my last high-school match out there and do it for her," O'Reilly said. "That meant a lot."
"It's special. A mother is special to all her children, but there's always something special about a mom and her boys," said Wildcats head wrestling coach Josh Grant. "I'm happy for him because he's worked for it. He has a 3.5 GPA, he's a great leader, he's a great person. Bailee's a true champion in every aspect and you can't ask for more than that."
Reaching the finals after a 14-3 major decision over Westfield's Colton Krell, that set up a showdown between top-ranked wrestlers in O'Reilly (170) and Wagner (160).
After an early take-down and a near-fall, O'Reilly looked dominant early with a 7-2 first-period lead. But that lead evaporated in the second period and victory looked like it could slip out of O'Reilly's hands after Wagner got a near-fall as time expired in the second. Then in the third, Wagner took an 11-10 lead after escaping O'Reilly's clutches.
A younger O'Reilly would have been kicking himself over that points swing. But over time, O'Reilly has managed to be a more aggressive wrestler with a short memory on the mat.
"It disappeared in his head. It was like, 'OK, now I got to go and keep scoring,'" Grant said. "He didn't panic at all and I didn't panic, either."
Instead, O'Reilly got a hold of Wagner's ankles for a take-down and an 11-10 lead. After Wagner tied the match with an escape, O'Reilly again got a hold of Wagner's ankles for the match-deciding take-down.
"I wanted to keep attacking," O'Reilly said. "It was a fun match. That's what people want to come here and watch. I just got out of position that one time and paid for it. But I kept attacking, kept going for it and paid off."
Grant added, "What's great about Bailee is he's always aggressive. He doesn't have a slow mode. He figured out a couple years ago you have to wrestle at a really high pace and score a lot of points to win these type of matches. He's got great defense and you put in that hustle factor and that's the makings of a champion."
And being the first two-time champion for a program that has been as traditionally solid as Goodhue, that's a feat a mother could love.
"It's pretty awesome. It's something I never really thought could happen," O'Reilly said. "But it's here and it's super exciting to make history like that. It means a lot for the school and a lot for my family."

Stockholm, Coffee and Chocolate a Nice Surprise
Stockholm Travel Blog› entry 2 of 4 › view all entries
November 15th, 2007 – by: richardAmsterdam
I was take by a friend to Chokladfabriken which combines the ultra modern cafe (of course this is still Sweden) with a view of the chocolates and cakes being made on site . For those with more time it has
workshops of chocolates tastings (yum).
I did a fair bit of chocolate tasting myself and they have some really wonderful combinations. I was totally torn between the chocolate lavender and their chocolate mints. Both tasted very pure and like the finest organic aromatherapy oils I have ever smelled.
They also have some Scandinavian flavors like cloudberries, lingonberries, licorice fudge decorated with sea salt (kind of an acquired tasted) .
Swedes like their coffee strong. And they like it with a cake or a cookie so much so, that there is even a word for having break for coffee and cake �" fika. How civilized is that!
I also found another wonderful Swedish winter tradition of hot chocolate. Walking around the atmospheric old part of Stockholm called Gamla Stan. Nearly all of the cafes served a piping hot chocolate in big rustic mugs. Brillant at chasing away the winter chills or warming up some romantic conversation.
Thank u Stockholm for such a nice surprise.

New York, NY (PressExposure) August 30, 2011 -- 5W Public Relations, one of the 25 largest independent Public Relations firms in the U.S., today announced the addition of Footzyrolls to its diverse roster of fashion/retail clients. Footzyrolls is a unique collection of rollable shoes available in a variety of trendy, fashion-forward styles.
After years of strutting around in painful stilettos and carrying around a large evening bag with an extra pair of shoes, sisters Jenifer and Sarah Caplan founded Footzyrolls. Every girl's solution to burning feet during a night out, these rollable shoes are available in a variety of styles and colors that mimic the latest trends. In addition, Footzyrolls will be launching two new collections: Footzyfolds, a more structured fully lined shoe for additional comfort, and Komfyz, a microsuede shoe lined in faux fur. Prices range from $20-$40. Celebrity fans of the brand include Cynthia Nixon, Alexis Bledel, Leslie Mann and Ginnifer Goodwin.
"5WPR is very excited to be named PR Agency of Record for Footzyrolls," said Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5W Public Relations. "We have an outstanding roster of fashion clients, and Footzyrolls is a truly unique brand that will add diversity to our company. We believe we can successfully increase awareness about their brand in the marketplace and with the media."
Beyond rollable shoes, the collection also consists of FootzySocks, FootzyFlops, Heatz reusable instant heat packs and fashion tape.

Just a funny image.
I would love to see this form your point of view, but I just can`t seem to shove my head that far up my a**.
And yeah I know last post was in `06. :)
Down with Bush! And lol to the cannon. How . . .unfortunate . . .
To me, the only thing the picture portrayed was that Bush thought he had a big wanker. Course...I have a dirty mind. Ewww! Bad pictures! *barfs* ::continues on to think about Ashton Kutcher::
Okay then...righty-oh. Who cares if any one gets made fun of. You make fun of people. Don`t try to deny it. I dun know you, but you sure as hell cuss an awful lot, (yes, I know I just cussed)and most people do make fun of people. It`s natural. If a person does not want to be made fun of any longer, they either cry about it, and it continues, or they take a stand and get up in the other persons face. I know what I just said was irrelvant but oh well. :D
Who cares if we make fun of Presidents? I hate bush, and Kerry`s an idiot. There we have it. Get over it. I can`t believe I just spent this much time rambling about th
clearly you do "give a sh*t" or you wouldn`t be having a conniption about people saying they don`t approve of dubya.
Would you have supported Kerry if he had been president? I doubt it. Would you have left the country? Again, I doubt it. So leave our liberal jokes alone.
Anyway, the internet doesn`t belong exclusively to America. Other countries are allowed to make fun of him! Don`t tell me to leave the country, I`m not even in it.
I bet that`s not what you said with clinton!
"if you don`t like the fact that he`s your our president. quit actin like a f*ckin dick head and leave the country. but, c`mon, give the man some respect! i don`t give a sh*t if you don`t approve of him bein the president, but get over it, he is, support him"
"i use my freedom of speech to say that i disagree w/ somethin and ya`ll jump down my mother f*ckin throat"
geez, ppl need to learn to take the internet with a grain of salt.
crazychick07, you`re tired of ppl talking sh*t about him? too bad. it`s about time you got used to it, cuz it won`t stop soon. and who the f*ck are you kidding with this voicing your opinion sh*t? you were the first one to use your freedom of speech to flame the author of the drawing for using his.
Thank you!
yeah, calm down, crazy chick...i support bush too...it`s just a little pro-democrat humor....not that i`ve really EVER seen anyting pro-republican posted on A-I-B.com
Why would you leave the country just because of one person? I love this country. I don`t love the president. The two are different, learn that. Four years and there will be someone else, but the country will ultimately be the same. Our building blocks will never change.
To CrazyChick: Why is it that whenever someone takes a shot at George Bush certain people go with that old chestnut of a knee jerk resonse -- "leave the country."
Remember freedom of speech? Or humor? Would you prefer censorship? You certainly have the right to not like that post and speak out. And the people who created it have the right to express themselves as well. Welcome to the free world. Try and enjoy it. You can always photoshop a picture of Kerry with his head up his ass and send it in. Stop complaining about everyone else complaining, lighten up and have some fun.

Fancy a drink? The whole truth about Ireland's relationship alcohol from Dr Michael Mosley
You feel you deserve a glass of wine with lunch, yet do you know how your body will be affected? Kicking off our drink special, Dr Michael Mosley, health guru and creator of the 5:2 diet, reveals some unexpected effects of the way we drink.
Over the rest of our drink special, our writers look at other aspects of our nation's drinking, including drink and sex, the way we drink, young people and alcohol, regulations surrounding our boozing, and Twink tells her personal story about why she decided to give up her beloved glass of wine.
The heavy drinking singer Frank Sinatra once said, "Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the Bible tells us to love our enemy". And that neatly encapsulates our love-hate relationship with the demon drink.
Humans have been getting intoxicated for thousands of years, but what do we really know about this time-honoured ritual?
Time, I think, for a bit of scientific enlightenment
Alcohol is bad for us. Really?
When I was at medical school I was told that the definition of an alcoholic is someone who drinks more than their doctor, and my fellow medics were certainly hard drinkers. I don't think anyone would be surprised to learn that alcohol, drunk in large amounts, and particularly if you binge, is bad for you. But what is the impact on health of modest, steady drinking?
Well, the UK's Chief Medical Officer Sally Davies recently claimed that there is no safe level of drinking. If you are drinking 14 units of alcohol a week, the equivalent in Ireland of 11 standard drinks, then apparently you are still increasing your chance of dying by around 1pc.
So does that 1pc figure sound scary?
Sir David Spiegelhalter, Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk, at Cambridge University, has crunched the numbers and put some context on the "1pc chance of dying" claim.
"An hour of TV watching a day, or eating a bacon sandwich a couple of times a week, is more dangerous to your long-term health", he says. "It all seems to come down to what pleasure you get from moderate drinking."
But is the report, anyway, right to claim that moderate drinking is worse for you than total abstention?
Critics point to numerous studies which have shown that while heavy drinkers die younger than non-drinkers, moderate drinkers (those averaging 1-2 drinks a day) tend to live longer than total abstainers.
The main reason is that while moderate alcohol consumption raises your cancer risk (by a very small amount) it also appears to reduce your risk of heart disease.
It does this by making your arteries expand (therefore reducing your blood pressure) and by making your blood less "sticky" (so it is less likely to clot). So the overall impact of moderate drinking seems to be positive.
A recent study in the US, for example, which followed more than 14,000 adults aged 45 and older for 24 years, found those who drank up to 12 units per week had a lower risk of developing heart failure than those who never drank alcohol.
Yet even with big studies like this you can never be quite sure that it is the alcohol drinking that is providing the benefit and not something else. Perhaps the non-drinkers were in poorer health to start with?
The best way to measure the impact of moderate drinking would be to take a group of abstainers and randomly allocate them to alcohol or water, then follow them for many years.
Well, a study along those lines was recently published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Researchers at Ben-Gurion University in Israel took 224 teetotal volunteers (all of them type 2 diabetics) and randomly allocated them to either a medium-sized glass (150ml) of red wine, white wine or mineral water for their evening meal, every evening, for two years.
The wine and water were provided free of charge and the empty bottles collected afterwards to make sure they really were drinking regularly.
So what happened? Well, red wine drinkers will be delighted to hear it was the group drinking red wine who came out on top, with the white wine drinkers a close second. They saw significant improvements in their cholesterol levels (their levels of HDL, the "good" cholesterol, rose) and the quality of their sleep also improved, compared to the water drinkers.
Interestingly, the people who got the biggest benefit (and the only ones who saw improved blood sugar control) were those whose livers broke down alcohol particularly slowly, meaning the alcohol hung around in their systems for longer
This was a smallish study done for a relatively short period of time, but it adds to what I think is compelling evidence that the occasional glass of wine is unlikely to do harm and may well do good.
What does alcohol actually do to your body?
When you chug down a glass of alcohol it swiftly passes into your stomach. If your stomach is empty then alcohol will irritate your stomach lining, making blood vessels swell, increasing the speed and amount of alcohol that is absorbed into your blood.
If, however, you have something to eat before you drink, particularly something that is fatty, then this will act as a physical barrier to the booze. Instead of being absorbed in the stomach, the alcohol passes through a valve called the pyloric sphincter and into your small intestine.
The small intestine is where most alcohol is normally absorbed. It takes much longer to get into your blood stream, and so to your brain, by this route than by stomach, which is why you get drunker faster if you haven't eaten.
If you drink on an empty stomach then your brain typically gets a peak alcohol hit somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes after drinking. If you eat before you drink then peak levels are delayed by at least an hour, maybe more
Once alcohol hits your brain it depresses your inhibitory centres. Contrary to what it may feel like, alcohol is not a stimulant. When I drink I normally have about an hour of uninhibited fun, before I go into a slump. Drinking doesn't make me good company.
With alcohol in your system, your liver now gets to work, busily breaking it down. First it turns it into a mildly toxic substance called acetaldehyde. This then gets converted into vinegar (acetic acid) and eventually into carbon dioxide and water.
It is the build up of acetaldehyde (which is more toxic than alcohol) that causes flushing and makes hangovers such a painful experience.
Your liver can break down roughly one unit of alcohol an hour. Drink faster than that and you will get smashed. Keep on drinking heavily and you will eventually destroy your liver.
Does alcohol affect us all in the same way?
Well, no. If you or your ancestors are from North East Asia, then chances are that you will have a less effective version of an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which speeds up the removal of acetaldehyde. If you can't clear acetaldehyde from your system pretty swiftly then you will find booze hard to handle.
I, like about 10pc of Europeans, have the inefficient version of this enzyme. Considering how bad alcohol sometimes makes me feel, my wife is astonished that I drink at all.
My wife is not a big drinker, which is just as well. If a woman decides to try and match a man drink for drink, she will normally get drunker, quicker. That is partly because women tend to be smaller, but also because they have less muscle and more body fat. Some alcohol gets absorbed by your muscles, removing it from your system, but fat and alcohol simply don't mix.
Hormones also play a part in metabolising alcohol and a woman who goes drinking just before she has her period will find she needs less booze to have the same effect
In men booze tends to add to sexual desire, but take away from performance. In women the effects are subtly different. They not only become less inhibited when they drink heavily, but the alcohol also causes a small rise in testosterone. That's why the loudmouth pick-up artist in the bar who was so obviously repellent at the beginning of the evening, begins to look far more alluring after a few drinks.
Does mixing drinks make you drunker?
Broadly, no. How drunk you get is mainly down to how much alcohol you drink, though fizzy drinks are the exception. If you decide to start your evening with a glass of champagne (or sparkling wine) then the carbon dioxide in the drink will open the pyloric sphincter valve linking your stomach to your small intestine. When that happens the alcohol passes into your system faster, and you get drunk faster.
This, of course, may encourage you to go on drinking. But it could also mean you drink less.
In an experiment we did recently for my BBC series, Trust Me I'm a Doctor, we decided to test out a plant extract called kudzu, which has been used by the Chinese to treat alcoholics for at least a thousand years. The claim is that the plant increases blood flow to the brain, so people feel the effects of alcohol far more quickly. They will then, so the theory goes, unconsciously slow down their drinking.
But is this really what happens? To find out we recruited a group of young men and women willing to have two nights out in the name of science. Before starting we gave them all pills to swallow: some got kudzu - others a placebo. None of them knew which they had taken
A couple of hours after taking the pills, we gave them free access to a bar for 90 minutes, with a choice of beer, wine or spirits.
We carefully recorded what they drank before sending them home. A week later we did it again, except this time those who had had the placebo got kudzu, and vica versa. So what did we find?
Well, when they swallowed a placebo they averaged seven units of alcohol a head. And when they took kudzu it was 5.5 units, 20pc less. This is broadly in line with other lab based studies that have been done in the US
But before you rush out to buy kudzu extract, beware. Our test, and those in the US, involved giving each volunteer 500mg of the active ingredient. But in the UK we couldn't find any brands of kudzu that, when tested, contained what they said on the label. Some contained almost nothing. So, maddeningly, kudzu does seem to be safe and appears to reduce excess boozing, but there isn't yet a reliable product on the market.
Is there an effective hangover cure?
Yes and no. Although kudzu may reduce the amount you drink, there is no evidence that it, milk thistle, or any of the other herbs and potions that are touted around as hangover cures have any significant impact once the evil throbbing begins. The best way to treat a hangover is to take pre-emptive action.
Firstly, if you are planning on drinking to the point where a hangover seems probable, then avoid dark-coloured drinks. The darker the drink, the more likely it is to contain chemicals called congeners that will add to near-death experience some of us are familiar with. Vodka is the binger's friend
If I have had too many drinks (in my case that means more than two pints of beer or a couple of large glasses of wine), then I drink plenty of water and take a couple of paracetamol before heading for bed. The head-splitting headache that accompanies a typical hangover is partly caused by dehydration.
The next morning, soon after I stagger out of bed, I gulp down lots of tea, water and another couple of paracetamol. I have an orange (to try and replace a bit of vitamin C), and if I'm up to it, a greasy breakfast. Then, with a silent vow of "never again" I take the dog for a long walk.

text: By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Michael A. Lantron, Commander, Navy Region Hawaii Public Affairs Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, visited more than 500 military personnel assigned to commands throughout the Pearl Harbor area Aug. 17 for an all hands call at Sharkey Theater on Naval Station Pearl Harbor as part of his tour of military bases on the island of Oahu. The visit was part of Pace's tour of military bases to thank military personnel for all they have done during his 40-year military career. "I have come a long way to say what is most important – thank you," said Pace. Through his hour-long speech and response to questions, Pace regularly spoke on his admiration for the men and women who serve the country and their role in how the country operates. "Your job is important. One percent of the people in America, including yourselves, are protecting the other 99 percent," said Pace. "What you do here every day maintains the peace and stability in the Pacific." Following the all hands call, Pace shook the hand of every person who attended the event and presented them with an official coin. "Having him shake everyone's hand was one of the coolest things I've ever seen," said Electronics Technician 3rd Class Brandon Sharp, assigned to Naval Station Pearl Harbor. "It was great to see him bring all of the branches together in one place." Pace took the position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in September 2005 and will visit bases worldwide to show his appreciation of military personnel prior to being relieved by the current Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Mullen.

Danish lifestyle brand, Georg Jensen, has just dropped a fierce new video campaign and it kicks ass at breaking old school conventions, just like the powerful women that front it.
Titled You Can Never Be Too Much You, the campaign centres around female empowerment (hell yeah) and places the limelight on five influential women:
- Award-winning director, Susanne Bier, from Denmark
- Champion boxer, Cecilia Brækhus, from Norway
- Motorcross rider, Behnaz Shafiei, from Iran
- Comedian, Sarah Kendall, from Australia
- Female chef, Dominique Crenn, from USA
Directed by Laerke Herthoni, the short celebrates each woman's success within her respective industry and pushes the 'don't apologise for being you' philosophy throughout.
Of course it also previews a selection of stunning homewares and accessories, which is just what the century-old brand is best known for.
We love this for the beautifully shot landscapes. We love it for the uplifting mantras. We love it for encouraging women to be fearless.
You can watch the campaign below.
