Rockets face must win
Throw out whatever cliche you like.
Backs against the wall, do-or-die, there's no tomorrow.
They all apply to the Kelowna Rockets who find themselves in a must win situation tonight in game five of their best-of-seven Western Conference final with the Portland Winterhawks.
The Rockets trail the series 3-1 after dropping the last three games.
Kelowna's only win came back in game one, a week ago, when they erased a 3-0 deficit and beat the Winterhawks 5-4.
Since then the Rockets have managed to jump out to a quick lead only to see Portland come back all three times.
In order to have a chance to come back in the series the Rockets will have to stay out of the penalty box. Over the first four games of the series the Rockets have been shorthanded 29 times - the equivalent of nearly one full game.
They have given up eight goals to Portland's power-play while scoring just three times on 14 opportunities.
Assistant coach Dan Lambert says they have to come out and play as they did in game one.
"If we can do the things we want to do as as team whether it's in the offensive zone, the neutral zone or the defensive zone - if we play that way we can play with this team. But we can't do it for 20 minutes and think this game is over."
There are still 300 tickets remaining for tonight's fifth game.

The Rockets are also encouraging fans to wear white tonight as part of the Rockets Playoff Whiteout.
Kelowna Firefighters will again be selling Playoff Whiteout T-shirts at the game with all proceeds going to the firefighters' charities.
"Games one and two were the loudest I have heard our rink, and it really gives us a big boost to hear our fans that loud," said Rockets defence man Damon Severson of two sellout crowds at Prospera Place in games one and two.
Faceoff is 7 p.m.

Fit & Happy: Eating VS. Exercising "You can't outrun a bad diet!!!"
By: MEREDITH NIXON, March 27, 2014
I have learned through many years of religious workouts and dieting, I am certain that…"You can't outrun a bad diet!!!" So, if you're like me, 110% dedicated to your workouts; the sweaty cardio sessions, lifting weights, your daily runs/walks and you're still not seeing results, it's time to realize, you're losing the race. Or perhaps you have achieved your goal, but have difficulty maintaining your ideal weight? Either way, it's time to look at your diet.
Do you find yourself saying things like, "I exercise so I can eat whatever I want", or "I exercise because I love pizza and ice cream." When exercising to lose weight, you simply cannot outrun your fork and spoon by hitting the gym or going for a run. One pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories. If we look at it from both perspectives, diet & exercise, it takes consuming 3,500 calories to gain one pound. Therefore we need to burn 3,500 calories to lose that pound. A lot of eating = a lot of exercising!
Exercise is essential for cardiovascular health, increasing lean body mass to achieve a healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) and is a #1 priority in for one's overall mental and physical wellbeing.
-Assess where you are with your diet by keeping a daily food journal. Multiple studies have proven that something as simple as keeping a journal will double your weight loss.
-Get rid of the junk. Give your kitchen a clean eating make over. Start preparing meals from whole fresh, natural ingredients. Processed foods are not good fuel. Stick with plenty of water, protein, fresh vegetables and fiber.
-Eat smaller portions and more frequently. Portion control is a huge proponent in weight loss and maintenance. Most people don't realize they're eating 2, 3, even 4 servings at a time! Check nutrition labels and see how much and exactly what you're eating.
When you are exercising regularly and providing your body proper nutrition, your metabolism will be kicked into high gear. Most likely, this means you are going to be burning through calories faster than ever, leaving you hungrier than ever. Here are a few tips on balancing eating and exercise.
-Snack wisely; choose natural foods that are high in protein, low in fat, sugar and carbohydrates. Try Greek or coconut yogurt, raw veggies, whole-grains, and healthier fat choices, (I.e.) all-natural peanut butter, string cheese, or a handful of nuts and seeds.
-Eat After You Exercise. You absolutely need to refuel your body in order for it to function properly and to see results. Eat a meal that contains both protein and good carbohydrates within one hour of your workout. Try turkey or chicken roll ups, or scrambled egg whites and Ezekiel toast. If you can't stomach a meal, a protein shake or bar is an excellent option (if you research healthy ones and read the labels).
-Eat your calories…do not drink them. The easiest way to avoid wasted excess calories is to banish high calorie, sugar packed beverages for good! Your liver responds to these beverages by turning extra sugar into fat. Many popular energy drinks, pre-made iced teas and soda contain sugar, artificial ingredients, and coloring. Instead, drink a minimum of 64oz of water a day. Try a water enhancer with no additives, zero calories, etc. for some no calorie flavor. Whatever you do… avoid drinking sugar filled empty calories.
Related Content
-Pay attention to how you feel Look at your overall performance, strength, endurance, and how you are feeling physically. When you feel your best, your hungriest or times when you don't feel good. Try adding your exercise and how you feel to your daily journal as well. You may want to consider the guidance of a professional and have help in designing the best most efficient diet and exercise program for you.
Remember, abs are made in the kitchen and strong hearts and positive mental/physical wellbeing are the result of time well spent in the gym! Together you can achieve your optimal health & fitness.
Eat Clean, Train Hard and you're sure to be Fit & Happy!

Justin Bieber parasailing with Chantel Jeffries
Justin Bieber has been parasailing with rumoured new girlfriend Chantel Jeffries in Panama.
Justin Bieber has been parasailing with Chantel Jeffries in Panama.
The 'Never Say Never' singer fled his legal woes in the US - where he was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an expired license and resisting arrest after he was caught drag racing in Miami last week - to go to Central America, where he is enjoying some down time with his rumoured new girlfriend.
Chantel, 21, was riding alongside Justin, 19, when his rented Lamborghini car was stopped by police in the early hours of last Thursday (23.01.14) and is thought to have been accompanying the star for a whole week.
She wrote on Twitter earlier today: ''God's plan is the best plan,'' and aside a picture of her in a bikini: ''Panamanian tan.''
As well as soaking up the sun, Justin has been having crisis meetings with his mentor Usher, manger Scooter Braun and mother Pattie Mallette about his career.
As well as facing legal problems in Miami, Justin could also potentially face felony charges after an incident where one of his neighbours' homes was egged, causing $20,000 of damage. Officers for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department said they will soon be submitting evidence to the District Attorney, who will then decide whether to press charges.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The University of North Carolina at Wilmington made history Friday electing the first African American woman to chair the board of trustees.
Linda Pearce was sworn in as the new chair of the UNCW Board of Trustees at a meeting on the university campus. She has been a UNCW trustee since 2005.
As the first African American female chair of the trustees, Pearce has set her standards high.
"I feel an overpowering responsibility to make absolutely sure I do the very best I can because others coming behind me may be judged by my performance," Pearce said Friday.
Pearce is the CEO of Elderhaus, an adult daycare facility in Wilmington.
Pearce holds a master's degree in adult education with a concentration in gerontology. After completing her education in the 1970's, she worked at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., for 13 years. She returned to her hometown of Wilmington in 1980 to care for an aging aunt. A year later, she founded Elderhaus.
Pearce will serve as chair of the UNCW Board of Trustees for the 2012-2013 academic year.

SAA is planning Ole Night Out for the evening of Dec. 8. Students can sign up in groups of up to five and SAA will then match those groups up with alumni based on their interests. Ole Night Out is free and open to all students, regardless of class year.
Student do have to provide their own transportation, but SAA will accomodate those without access to cars by pairing them with alumni in Northfield.
The participating alumni live not only in the Northfield area, but also in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs. According to Nicole Callies '06, coordinator of SAA, Ole Night Out offers students a unique opportunity to form connections to Oles beyond campus. "Indirectly, it is a networking opportunity," Callies said.
This semesters event will mark the second Ole Night Out, which SAA started last spring as a way to reach out to alumni and promote an interactive relationship between current and past students. "The point is to connect the two, for students to get off campus and see life off the Hill," Callies said, adding that the event is "as much for alumni as for students."
Callies said that the event last spring was a big success. A number of great relationships even formed after the dinner dates. She cited one group of men's track athletes who had an especially great experience. After their dinner with the family of the alumni, the family sent them care packages and came to their track meets.
Most of the alumni will be more recent graduates, but Ole Night Out will include alumni of all ages. SAA has been working through the Alumni and Parent Relations Office and Alumni Board to find former Oles to host current Oles.
Callies presented the idea for Ole Night Out to the Alumni Board at their annual meeting and said they were very excited about the event.
The SAA is in its second year of operation. As the group grows they hope to foster more interaction between students and alumni. More than anything, SAA hopes Ole Night Out and other events, such as Backpack to Briefcase, will all be "ways for alums to hang out with students" said Callies.
The Backpack to Briefcase event features a raffle as well as information about the SAA. The prizes are one-on-one consultations with alumni in their area of expertise.
Last spring was a bit of an experiment for Ole Night Out, and there was so much student interest that many students were disappointed when they did not get to participate. Callies said SAA has planned things a bit differently this year in hope of accommodating all interested students. "If it continues to be a success, Im sure well continue," Callies said.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
All-in-one desktops may often boast touch screens these days, but we're glad to see HP offer a competitive alternative for those content with a traditional mouse-and-keyboard interface. The unflashy $949 HP Omni 200 5380qd might lack a touch screen, but it makes up for it with fast application performance and competent home entertainment capabilities. We might like to see a larger display for this price, but even with only a 21.5-inch LCD, this all-in-one will meet the needs of most mainstream home users content to ignore the touch-screen bandwagon.
The overall design of the Omni 200 suggests inviting simplicity. The matte black plastic chassis features rounded edges and a sturdy-feeling heft. It's not as elegant as an iMac, but the Omni also doesn't feel fragile. Even though you won't be touching the screen directly, the Omni still gives the impression that it can withstand the occasional bumps and general rigors of service in a multiperson usage environment.
While HP isn't the only vendor to stick with a 21.5-inch screen in a midrange all-in-one desktop, the list is certainly smaller than those that offer 23-inch displays in the same price range. Acer, Dell, Gateway, and Lenovo, among other vendors, all have 23-inch touch-screen all-in-ones starting at $800 or so, which leaves HP with only Apple and Sony in the 21.5-inch minority. The smaller screens match the 23-inchers in offering 1,920 x 1,080 display resolution, but if we were shopping for an all-in-one to serve as a den or dorm room entertainment device, we'd still prefer the larger display for better viewing at a distance.

We don't have a perfect direct comparison for the Omni 200 5380qd among our previously reviewed all-in-ones, but we can take a look at a few near-recent models to see how the HP's value proposition matches up with those of a few older PCs.
The HP's screen might be the smallest of three systems, but its graphics card is the fastest. It also boasts a fast Intel Core i5 CPU, which translates in our benchmark charts below to some of the best all-in-one performance we've ever seen. The 1TB hard drive seems to the de facto universal standard for now, and while we might also like to see a Blu-ray drive in the HP for this price, the Omni's smaller screen would make it hard to distinguish Blu-ray quality over that of standard definition DVDs. HP certainly saves costs with the small, non-touch display, but also seems able to pass those savings on to customers by way of faster computing components.

The HP Omni 200 demonstrated stellar performance across our application tests. The Acer Aspire Z5700-U3112 might have a CPU with a faster core clock speed, but the combination of the HP's discrete graphics card, 6GB of RAM, and a CPU with twice the cache as that of the Acer pushed the Omni ahead of its older competition on ever test. The only exception came with our multimedia multitasking test, in which Apple's iMac ) (rumored to be replaced soon), continues to lead. Among Windows 7 PCs, the HP comes in second on our multitasking test, and overall it will provide sufficient performance to handle any mainstream task you throw its way.
Given the better-than-average AMD Radeon HD 5570 graphics card in the Omni, we also tried a few recent games on the HP, with great success. We tried Crysis 2 and Metro 2033, two demanding first-person shooters, and both games were quite playable at full resolution and better-than-minimum graphics quality settings. This PC's gaming prowess has its limits, and if you push the graphics quality too high, you will run into choppy frame rates, but we expect that for at least the foreseeable future, the HP Omni 200 will run any game you care to play with acceptable smoothness and image quality.

I asked Trump what he thought the letter would accomplish and what he might get out of a lawsuit, if one ever happened. Eleven years ago, in a settlement with the city of West Palm Beach concerning air traffic over Mar-a-Lago, he was awarded the land where the West Palm Beach course sits today. He's all lawyered up, all the time.
In answering, Trump was unusually circumspect. "At the end of the day," Trump said, "I think you'll find I will get not just one course in the Golf Digest top 100, but several. On merit."
Trump knew that I love golf in Scotland. . . .
He pays attention and one day he showed me pictures of the 1,500 acres of linksland, in Aberdeen, that he had purchased. He described his plan to build an enormous seaside golf resort there, with at least one course and possibly three. The pictures looked luscious, and I knew my Trump tour would be incomplete if I didn't see the land. Last September, I got myself to Aberdeen, and the manager of the Scottish project called Trump International Golf Links picked me up at the airport, and we made the off-road drive to Trump's land. It was astonishing.
I'd never seen duneland like it, so windswept and untamed and vast. In places there were rows and rows of towering dunes, lined up like knotty limbs on an ancient Sequoia. The dunes there are bigger than the biggest dunes at Ballybunion in Ireland or at Bandon Dunes in Oregon or at Cruden Bay inScotland. To create holes in your head, all you had to do was look around. You'd hike up a hill with sand in your shoes and the wind in your face, and you felt as if you were home, or in golf's home, anyway.
Trump's late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born in Scotland, and the Scotland project is dear to him. Ashley Cooper, a guilded Wall Streeter before he joined Trump, wanted a piece of the action on the Scottish project, but Trump refused to give it to him, and recently he and Cooper went their separate ways. Trump doesn't like to share, not outside the family. One of the reasons he's so deep into golf is that he thinks the courses and clubs will be good businesses for his children. (Trump has five; the youngest, Barron William, is one.) He also thinks they will be good places to conduct business, good places to meet useful people and good places for an enjoyable, competitive game.
Whatever he builds in Scotland, I don't imagine it's ever getting a British Open. The men at the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, curators of the Open Championship, aren't interested in new and don't care about the best this and the biggest that. They're still sane, thank God. The very idea of Trump won't fly with them, at least not for the world's oldest golf championship. Taking a page from their book might be a good thing for him, and maybe he will.
But could Trump build a course there that would get a European Ryder Cup? We're getting way ahead of ourselves the course is not even permitted yet but sure he could. For starters, if you're really hell-bent on hosting a Ryder Cup, you can buy your way in. Last year the Ryder Cup was held outside Dublin at the K Club, owned by a rich man named Michael Smurfit, who reached deep into his pocket to get the event.
Trump is a talented and ambitious and restless man, and he can probably fulfill his golfing dreams. All he has to do is build a course that matches his exalted description of it. Really, with five courses, he's only starting. After I had visited all the Trump courses and got off the final plane, Trump called me. For a while there, he was calling me often. A joke in our house became, "It's Donald again." But I like him. I can see why others don't, but I do.
"Well," Trump said, "Michael, you have now completed your Trump golf tour. Tell me: Of all the Trump courses, which one would you say you like most?"
I blurted out my answer.
"Scotland," I said.
Trump did not miss a beat.
"That is a very interesting answer," he said. At times his speech is amazingly deliberate. "You did not say a course, but a property. What you are saying is that my land in Scotland has the potential to be the site of the greatest seaside golf course in the world."
Of course, I had said nothing like that. The funny thing is, though, he was reading my mind, the way a career .400 salesman does. What he said, it's exactly what I think.

The arctic blast is driving down more than just temperatures.
The deep freeze is bad for business. Brutal cold is keeping consumers home.
Lots of would-be customers decided they would rather stay home in warmth than venture out to the stores.
Fellini's Pizza in Buckhead, normally bustling with customers, was relatively quiet.
"It's a little slow but just for this week," said manager, Ramon Martinez.
Café Sunflower in Sandy Springs on Monday night had to bring in space heaters to keep the handful of customers they did have warm.
"It was freezing. Nobody wanted to come out," said Cynthia Black, a manager.
Black said the brutal blast bruised business, but did not put a total chill on sales.
"Yesterday, I got more 'to-goes' than people actually dining," Black said.
Ace Hardware store at once got the best and the worst of the arctic blast.
The good news is the unforgiving cold drove customers to buy "heaters, ice melt, weather stripping," said Becky Eskew, who works at the store.
The bad news is frigid temperatures freeze water, which breaks pipes, and in the case of Ace Hardware, sent a jet of water shooting down from the ceiling into the middle of the store.
Despite nature's toughest punch, however, Eskew said sales were still brisk.
"It's not going to hurt. People are still coming in," Eskew said.

Clinical Trials
Posted By pcfadmin On March 23, 2011 @ 7:42 pm In | No Comments
Clinical trials are underway to develop better ways of preventing, detecting and treating colorectal cancer. Answers to common questions about clinical trials and where to find them are discussed below.
A clinical trial is one of the final steps in the extensive research process for confirming the effectiveness of new medical advances. These trials are crucial not only for finding ways to better treat colorectal cancer, but also to find improved ways of detecting it early and preventing it in the first place. How do I find a colorectal cancer trial?
Your health careprofessional can help you locate colorectal cancer trials you are eligible to join and can help you enroll in a study. Remember that the types of trials you are eligible for will depend on your medical history. Cancer prevention trials typically enroll people who have not had cancer (and may have higher cancer risks), while treatment trials involve a group of patients who have the same type of cancer.
In addition to speaking to your health care professional, you can also learn about clinical trials for colorectal cancer on the Internet. The following Web sites can serve as good starting points:

Jean Jacques Rousseau
Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) "Citizen Rousseau of Geneva", writer, musician and political theorist, penned the well-known Social Contract in 1762. While his controversial writings contributed to the Romantic Movement and allegedly inspired the French Revolution, he emerged from fairly humble beginnings.
Jean Jacques Rousseau was born in Geneva, Switzerland, 28 June, 1712, the second son of Isaac Rousseau, descendant of French Huguenots, and Susanne Bernard (who died a week after he was born). Young Jeans Calvinist father went into exile when he was charged with poaching and tried to slash his accuser.
Sent by his maternal uncle to a parsonage for basic religious schooling, Rousseau endured the severe straits of harsh discipline that would later form his basis of hatred towards authority. With school finished he attempted a few unsuccessful apprenticeships. The practically orphaned Rousseau (who felt he was responsible for his mothers death) spent much of his spare time alone exploring his first love, nature, which he escaped to in life as a vagabond in 1728. His wanderings led him out of Geneva to Sardinia then France, where he met Madame de Warens, who for the next ten years provided for him an education and much needed moral support and maternal love. At this time Rousseau converted to Catholicism.
1742 and living in Paris, Rousseau hoped to establish himself in a musical career, unsuccessfully proposing a new system of music to the Academy of Sciences. He published musical theory and wrote for the opera, attracted the attentions of King and court, but ended up concentrating on the development of his political theories towards social reform. He also met Therese le Vasseur who became his mistress with whom he had five children. They married near the end of his life.
It was not until 1750 that he won his first prize for an essay A Discourse on the Sciences and the Arts, its basis being that man (from his naive state of goodness) had become corrupted by society and civilization's progress. In 1755 he published his Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, stating that original man was preferable while isolated from the corruption of social institutions; that vices develop out of a society where man starts to compare himself to others and becomes prideful. Catholic theologians concurred that humanity had not sufficiently advanced, yet disagreed that man was innately good. Rousseau eloquently expressed the problems of `law and order with greater clarity than most other of his contemporaries like Diderot and Voltaire, whom he eventually parted ways with, but he was heavily criticised for his condemnations as well. He reconverted to Calvinism around this time, causing some conjecture as to his mental health, which however was a legitimate concern for the rest of his life.
Rousseau wrote The New Eloise (1761) next, which escaped censor and was one of the most widely read works of the Romanticism period. He published Èmile in 1762, his `heretical education reform treatise. His next and most controversial work, The Social Contract (1762) while starting with the opening line "Man was born free, but he is everywhere in chains." suggested that there was still hope for mankinds future, that he is essentially good, a `noble savage, if only he realised the importance of a state of nature and worked to disarm the constraints of society. The publication of these two works caused uproar among French Catholics and Calvinist censors who were deeply offended and publicly burnt the books. Orders for his arrest were issued. Enduring this persecution but becoming paranoid and insecure, Rousseau lived in exile in Prussia and later England, to live with Scottish philosopher David Hume for a period of time. He returned to France under a false name after accusing Hume of disloyalty.
Rousseau continued to work in secret on his Confessions (1764 1778), inspired by St. Augustines Confessions as well as the Essays of Montaigne. His last opus proves to be a progressively more and more disquieting assay of self-justification, Rousseau seeming to need to plead his case for posterity, confess his sins. The lyrical Reveries of a Solitary Walker (1782), marks a period of inner peace for Rousseau in his declining years. On 2 July, 1778, while staying with the Marquis de Giradin in Ermenonville, just north of Paris, Rousseau, after taking one of his routine morning walks communing with nature, died of apparent apoplexy (or brain hemorrhage as its now known). He is buried in The Pantheon in Paris alongside Victor Hugo, Francois Marie Arouet, Voltaire and Emile Zola. As he says at the start of his Confessions, comparing himself to other men, If I am not better, at least I am different. His writings to this day are still well-known and widely available.

Rousseau's philosophy of love
I know precious little about Rousseau; I have only a cursory knowledge about some of his biggest ideas. But I have read a few things about Rousseau that piqued my interest, particularly with respect to love. My question is for the Rousseau experts here: could you explain to me Rousseau's take on love? What did he say about it? How did it fit into his view of things? It would be much appreciated.:)
Abbe Raynal, another alias of Rousseau-Saint Germain"
Introductory Doubts concerning the relations between abbe Raynal, Gioachino Cocchi, Charles Nicholas Cochin, Baron von Gleichen*, Dupin de Franceuil, Madame d'Epinay and comte de Saint Germain, have been expressed,11-17-2006, at http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15023&page=7 as follows: To begin with, when St Germain-Gioachino Cocchi "is in town", in 1748, theater lovers all around fall to his charms only, a "Dupin de Francueil" with a dubious theatrical expertise stepping quietly aside Furthermore, as Abbe Raynal and Baron von Gleichen are registered today among Mme d'Epinay's "elect few", often visiting her "salon", one can only wonder how St Germain is avoided when Cochin(CNC)- living nearby** btw at his Cheville cottage(Goncour)-took then(1770-80) his chances drawing the former's portrait for his " "Histoire philosophique " and the latter, the dane, was a friend of Cochin/Cocchi/St Germain." With Dupin, Saint Germain and Rousseau in the meantime "enlisted" among Cocchi's aliases , it's now time inviting monsieur "Guillaume Thomas François Raynal", who has so much in common with our hero, to the club. His portrait by C.N.Cochin…. http://c18.net/ra/ra_pages.php?nom=ra_presentation (same portrait "shortened" at http://www.antiquemaps-fair.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_23&products_id=2066. Also see http://pagesperso-orange.fr/dboudin/zGalerie/Raynal.html for more info on Raynal, his biography, works and portraits-including another one in profile resembling a rather heavier "Grimm".) …is of interest not just because of his casual attire- an indication of his close relations with the portraitist of "our" Rousseau and Ben Franklin-but also because it is, we believe, a "true" design*** providing us with the actual face characteristics of the subject in question Also to be praised therefore for likeness the unknown artist of his other portrait in relative Wikipedia article.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Guillaume_Raynal2.jpg ....the more so because of better depicting- in semiprofile- his rather long and dropping nose,shared by -other portraits of-"Grimm" and "Saint Germain". * Another alias of Saint Germain (as Goethe just disclosed to me personaly) to be examined in further down this thread. **This statement is wrong: At the time of writing I was still mixing up Epinay sur Seine, north of Paris (where Mme d'Epinay lived) with Epinay sur Orge, south of Paris, the "seigneury" of our hero (as Augustin Henry Cochin) near Versailles. Cheville is to the south as well. ***Raynal's portrait by Cochin and Rousseau's bust by Houdon( http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/jahd/ho_08.89.2a.htm) speak for themselves as to the common identity of the two sitters.
Jean Jacques Rousseau.
Readers of "Friedrich Melchior Grimm (revisited)"*(footnote 1) are perhaps aware of certain, recently added, footnotes and modifications therein seriously affecting the french philosopher's true identity and fame! Because (hold your breath please): Rousseau was but another alias of comte de Saint Germain*(2)... ....ie Gioachino Cocchi, aka Augustin Henry Cochin, Melchior Grimm, Willibald Christ. Gluck, Marquis de Chastellux, Bricaire de La Dixmerie, Dupin de Franceuil, Carl Ludwig Cocceji, Alexander Serg.Stroganov, Ser. Saltycov, Nikolay Saltycov*(4), possibly Peter Sem. Solticof, Alessandro Cosimo Collini (Voltaire's secretary)..abbe Raynal, baron von Gleichen, baron von Holbach, Dr Helvetius (see "Abbe Raynal" in next thread) ….. ....and "Rousseau"! Method used to reach this conclusion: With Rousseau's talents- common with the other aliases of Saint Germain (music, botany, philosophy)-his writings concerning Mme D'Epinay's relations with Grimm and his "falsity of character" as initial indications, Rousseau's whereabouts were added to the detailed mastertimeline, as mentioned in above thread, including relevant data of all other aliases: Rousseau's presences and absences (basicaly Paris, London, Italy and USA -in the making) fully coincide with those of other aliases with the exception of Collini (whose book on Voltaire, "Mon séjour auprès de Voltaire et lettres inédites que m'écrivit"- including letter xchange, is "suspect of slight*(3) misinformation", just like Rousseau's "Confessions" and other books on "Saint Germain" and his aliases!). Well aware of my finds gravity and significance, I really wish to openly debate the issue (Rousseau's identity only, NOT the relevant implications) and kindly invite members or other readers of this site with sufficient interest and skill, to declare their willingless to defend "old" Rousseau*(5) and, if needed, also call any "outside assistance", preferably French cousins or friends. Cheers.

"They" -alltogether-will certainly "haunt" opera to eternity, there is however specific evidence as well: "Don Juan triumphant" points to Gluck's "Don Giovanni"-defined presently as a "ballet"-produced in Vienna 1761, ie early in Gluck's reformation period (1761-67), ie Leroux expresses a wish for his triumphant return . The phantom's persian companion-guard points furthermore to the "Gullistan" (Persia) history of the family, including our hero's Nikita "K" ancestor, himself as well as his grandson (Stroganov) who spent sometime in Persia. *3: On June 12 (1756) Collini leaves allegedly Voltaire's service (Geneva-Delices). However Augustin Henry Cochin's first Paris (Epinay) record is dated June 2nd of same year. *4:Nikolai Saltykov, Paul I's tutor for a time , succeeds Potemkin in the Russian war ministry in 1791 and as from 1802becomes head minister of Russia. One should add here "L.H.Nicolay", also Paul I's tutor (1769) and a poet, whose biography at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Heinrich_von_Nicolai seems rather "incomplete". Also see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/simon-finland/2016541790/page2/ (L.H Nicolay's memorial, a "knight's temple", propably Saint Germain's, at Monrepos,Viborg, Carelia, near St Petersburg. ) *5. Rousseau's "lettre sur la musique francaise", just read(late February 09), clearly demonstrates that the author is the same person as Gioachino Cocchi. (The same conclusion is also to be reached via Diderot's: "Jacques le fataliste et son maitre" and "Rameau's nephew".) *6: As from early March, 09, the article on Gluck (by classical music professor M.Zwiebach) has been removed, possibly because of yourstruly's relative comments on Gluck's true identity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
I've been studying The Social Contract all today. And though I didn't read the whole thing, I think I'm already a fan of Rousseau. I have a thing for idealists, who still had faith in human goodness, and the possibility of a Utopian Society. Or maybe it's just the fact that I just studied Mandeville right before Rousseau, so I was kinda happy to find out that there were still good people in the world :lol:
Jean-Jacques Rousseau on education
Jean-Jacques Rousseau on education We are born weak, we need strength; helpless we need aid; foolish we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education. This education comes from nature, from men or from things. The inner growth of our organs and faculties is the education of nature, the use we learn to make of our growth is the education of men, what we gain by our experience of our surroundings is the education of things We are each taught by three masters. If their teaching conflicts, the scholar is ill-educated and will never be at peace with himself; if their teaching agrees, he goes straight to his goal, he lives at peace with himself, he is well-educated. Now each of these factors in education is wholly beyond our control, things are only partly in our power; the education of men is the only one controlled by us; and even here our power is largely illusory, for who can hope to direct every word and deed of all with whom the child has to do. Viewed as an art, the success of education is almost impossible since the essential conditions of success are beyond our control. Our efforts may bring us within sight of the goal, but fortune must favour us if we are to reach it. What is this goal? As we have just shown, it is the goal of nature. Since all three modes of education must work together, the two that we can control must follow the lead of that which is beyond our control.

Music Monday: Nelly's In-Shape "M.O."
Written on October 28, 2013 at 10:59 am , by Lauren Cardarelli
Nelly was one of the first rappers I listened to. Although I consider myself more of a country girl (um, his collab with Florida Georgia Line in this summer's smash hit "Cruise (Remix)" was the soundtrack to my windows-down car rides…), back in my early teens my friends and I would "Ride Wit" him en route to field hockey games, sporting Band-Aids on our cheeks and all—just like he did. Yes, it was a trend that lasted a few weeks in my preppy shoreline town. Don't ask.
I've followed Nelly's career ever since, and when his seventh album, M.O., was released last month, I couldn't pop it into my running playlist fast enough. "There's a bunch of good workout songs on it," Nelly told me when we recently chatted. "From top to bottom, I think you'll find there's a lot of great music on there to do your thing." He called me "sweetheart" at the end of our conversation, I might add, but I digress.
Featuring Nicki Minaj, Pharrell, Nelly Fertado, T.I. and others, Nelly's newest pace-pushing beats are sure to get your rear in gear as you take your runs indoors. And if you're anything like Nelly, maybe that athlete mentality will translate into your career. "The competitiveness, the will not to quit and basically being in attack mode definitely helped me," he says, explaining that the new album's title not only stands for his home state of Missouri, but also "Method of Operation."
So what is the workaholic's method of staying in shape? I mean, don't mess with those biceps! "The majority of the men in my family are super duper skinny, so the hardest part is putting the weight on," he admits. "If I'm working, I probably get to the gym three times a week. I'm not going as heavy, just trying to maintain." And when it comes to cardio, you won't find the singer on the treadmill, but on the court. "I think basketball is the best cardio in the world, especially with all of the movements—the stops, jumps, the agility part of it and just the constant running."
When I asked the former vegetarian about his diet, Nelly couldn't emphasize enough the importance of watching what you eat. To keep his pumped-up physique, the artist tries to take in a lot of protein and loves turkey burgers. "When I started filming The Longest Yard—they wanted me to play a running back—I started eating chicken and turkey again because I only had two months to get as big as possible." Another staple in Nelly's daily eats? Oatmeal. "I eat a whole lot of oatmeal with cinnamon. I'll chop up some bananas and put some raisins in it." Whoa, Nelly! We're impressed!
In honor of his new album, here's a Nelly-fied playlist (a nice mix of old and new) to "Shake Ya Tailfeather" to. Sporting a Band-Aid? Optional, but strongly encouraged.

2 Recipes For a Heart-Healthy Mother's Day Brunch
Written on May 10, 2013 at 9:24 am , by Karla Walsh
There are few better ways to show mom how much you care than breakfast in bed. That tray of goodies—perhaps pancakes with sausage or Eggs Benedict—sure tastes great, but may not be too nice for her health, though.
New research found that a meat-free diet can cut risk for heart disease by 32 percent, so the two vegan recipes below from The China Study Cookbook, will keep mom's heart happy, too. By the way, all of the dishes in the book are not only vegetarian, but vegan!
Scrumptious Apple-Filled Turnovers
Serves 8
- 3½–4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1 tablespoon Sucanat
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2½ teaspoons instant (fast rise) yeast
- 1½ cups warm water
- 3 cups apples, diced finely
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped
- ¾ cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- Mix all the turnover ingredients together in a bowl. Knead with your hands for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Separate into 8 balls; cover, and let rise for 40 minutes.
- Once turnovers are covered, prepare filling by mixing all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
- After 40 minutes, roll out each ball to a diameter of about 3 inches. Place one heaping tablespoon of filling into the center. For each turnover, fold the edges together to form a half moon. Pinch the edges together with a fork so there are no openings.
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Let your turnovers rise on the counter for 15 minutes, then place turnovers on nonstick baking sheet.
- Bake at 425˚F for 20–25 minutes.

Taste and Tell: Slow-Cooker Vegetable and Chickpea Curry
Written on February 18, 2013 at 9:05 am , by Karla Walsh
The recipes in FITNESS magazine can't really be as easy and tasty as the mouthwatering pictures in the magazine make them look, can they? Some readers write in and say they are a bit skeptical, so I (quite an amateur when it comes to the kitchen), decided to put a dish to the test. My hands know their way around a keyboard way better than a cutting board, so believe me when I say everything that I can do, you can as well!
The evening I needed dinner, I was going to indoor cycling class soon after work—meaning I didn't have much prep time the day of. This also meant that I would need something filling (it was going to be a late meal) yet nutritious (so I wouldn't undo all of that hard work at the gym). I stumbled upon a yummy-looking fix: Vegetable and Chickpea Curry.
The evening before, I took about 20 minutes to chop all of the vegetables and scooted them into my little slow-cooker dish with the rest of the ingredients to be cooked, which I then placed in the refrigerator. When I came home to change for my workout, I poured in the vegetable broth, put the meal into the slow-cooker and flipped it on high.
By the time I returned from class, my kitchen smelled like an Indian restaurant. I stirred in the light coconut milk and prepared some quick-cooking stove top brown rice, and dinner was ready!
I surprised myself and a pal who joined me for dinner with the gourmet result, which really looked fairly similar to the image in the story, and the taste lived up to the description from the recipe developer. Click below to see the side-by-side pictures and get the recipe to try yourself.

Filmmaker Aims for "World Vegucation"

The food movement occasionally seems skewed toward the super-serious (Michael Pollan), the sexy (PETA) or the surreal (Supersize Me). But Marisa Miller Wolfson, a fairly new vegan, is bringing a little levity to the issue with her new film Vegucated. Her unique perspective and six-week experiment trying to persuade three carnivores to embrace a more produce-based diet caught our attention, so we reached out to her to learn more.
Can you tell us more about your personal transition to veganism?
I lived with vegetarians for seven years and rabidly defended my right as a Midwesterner to eat my meat. I thought vegans were from outer space—way too radical. Then I saw a documentary that showed how animals are treated on farms, and I went vegetarian on the spot, and went vegan three months later after I read more about health and environment issues. The whole process felt crazy: to have all these stereotypes of vegans and then suddenly call myself one. The first few months were a little tricky, but I lost 15 pounds and felt amazing, so I stuck with it.
There have been a few movies and books recently related to the topic of eating less meat, but Vegucated seems to be told in a different "voice" than many others. How did you decide to make your film stand out?
I had toured around the country showing award-winning documentaries on this topic and decided to make a film that appealed to a slightly different, younger crowd. I wanted to make it highly entertaining, charged with personality and I wanted people to laugh more than they cry, even when they're getting exposed to powerful information. I used to do comedy.
Keep reading to discover how the film's stars are eating now and to learn how you can find a happy veggie medium.

Celebrate Meatless Monday With the Founder's Favorite Meal
Written on October 31, 2011 at 5:43 pm , by Karla Walsh
Last week at Food Day, we were able to connect with Sid Lerner, founder and chairman of the growing Meatless Monday movement. The group asks us all to cut back or eliminate meat on Mondays, with an overall goal to reduce meat consumption by 15 percent worldwide.
Lerner resurrected the Meatless Monday trend in 2003 with this focus on health and the environment. It originated during World War I to help conserve resources for the war effort. "People have different reasons why they participate, whether it's ethical, or to lower fat and cholesterol intake," Lerner says. "It's a small change you can try each week that's good for you and good for the planet."
Reducing meat consumption can lower the overall carbon footprint (did you know animals raised for meat emit more gas than our transportation systems?) and water usage (1,800 to 2,500 gallons of water go into a single pound of beef, while one pound of tofu requires 220 gallons).
Lerner mentioned that, thanks to support from big names like Oprah, Paul McCartney and Mario Batali, 50 percent of Americans polled in a recent survey said they are aware of Meatless Mondays, and 28 percent claim that it affects how they eat. We couldn't think of a more fitting way than pulling our slow cookers out of the back of our cabinets to give one of Lerner's favorite Monday recipes a try!
"I love chili. It's tasty, colorful, high in protein and you can make it a million ways. I like to say, 'If you think chili needs meat, you don't know beans,'" Lerner says.
For a one-pot meal to try on future Meatless Mondays, keep reading.

What's It Like to Be the NBA's Only Female Scout?
Written on October 4, 2011 at 1:45 pm , by Karla Walsh
Looking at the crowd of scouts on the sidelines at the NBA pre-draft camp about five years ago, you might not have even realized that there was a woman in the mix. "I suited up in baggy sweats and put my hair up in a baseball cap," says Bonnie-Jill Laflin, the first and only scout for the men's basketball league. "I didn't want to be judged by the way I looked or be treated any differently than the men. But I was inspired to be my true self when one of the men in the crowd came up and said, 'As long as you know what you're doing, who cares what you look like?'"
Today, the former Miss Dallas-Fort Worth is enjoying her career—without disguises—and is spreading the word about achieving her dreams and supporting causes close to her heart.
What was your career path like to become an NBA scout?
I actually started as a cheerleader, first for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA and later for the San Francisco 49ers NFL team, because I heard that was the easiest way to get into the industry. Then I went back to school at the University of Texas for my broadcast journalism degree to pursue sport broadcasting. I covered the Los Angeles Lakers, and the general manager and owner of the team asked if I was interested in becoming a scout for their organization. They knew I had knowledge of the game and what to look for in a player.

Heavy rain have washed away several roads in Kanawha County, WV.
One family in Eden's Fork is concerned their washed out road could prevent them from receiving medical treatment.
Lisa Fannin is a single-mother who works from home to take care of her child.
"You know, I'm the one here 24/7 and I'm the one that has to be responsible for this child," she said.
Her son, Steven, is in a wheelchair and prone to seizure every six to eight weeks which sometimes require his mom to take him to the hospital.
"I make sure when I go to bed at night, if something happens I can get up, put him in the car and take off or an ambulance can get to me," said Fannin.
There's only one road leading to Fannin's home. The bad weather washed the road away and created a giant hole making getting in and out much more difficult for Fannin and her son."When I lay down at night, I have enough to worry about. I don't need to worry about my road," she said.
Fannin and her neighbors called the West Virginia Division of Highways to voice concerns.
The DOH responded several weeks ago by placing a temporary metal sheet on top of the hole. But the problem wasn't fixed. "We have to go all the way around because the hole is continuing to cross the road," she said. Fannin says she's tried several times recently to contact the DOH about the growing problem but hasn't heard back. So 13 News made a few phone calls. Brent Walker, head of communications for the DOH, told me the department is swamped with pages of complaints.
13 News asked him specifically about this problem and he said the department is aware of the damage. He said once drains around the county are unclogged and water removed, repairs will be fixed.
"I know everyone's roads are torn up and swamped, but I feel like this is very serious," said Fannin.
In order to contact the DOH with road damages, call them at (304) 558-3505.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- The body has never been found but Gregory O'Bryan is still going to prison for the murder of Sullivan University Student Andrew Compton.
Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry held a conversation with O'Bryan before he sentenced him. "The defendant tied up Compton with electrical wires after providing him with alcohol and engaged in sex with Compton," says Judge Perry.
The most graphic details in Monday's sentencing were read by the judge: "Defendant then dragged Compton's body into his bed, and the defendant -- you, Mr. O'Bryan -- then went to sleep. When the defendant awoke, the defendant then had sex with Compton's corpse, which was in a state of rigor mortis."
O'Bryan now admits that Compton died during sex and that he later disposed of the 18-year- old's body in a garbage bin.
"The way that Andrew's slim, thin body was treated was barbaric, cruel, disturbing and inhumane," says Angela Compton, victim's mother.
O'Bryan and Compton met on an online dating site in October of 2010. Since then, both police and Compton's family have been looking for his body and answers.
During a victim impact statement, Angela Compton asked, "How could anyone dispose of such a sweet and innocent child as he was like he was garbage?"
Before O'Bryan was sentenced, Compton's mother read a two-page statement.
"You did not take responsibility for it then," Angela Compton said to O'Bryan. "Will you now?"
"She did a fantastic job in there, I think she expressed what any mother would feel in this situation," says Lisa Cartier-Giroux, Assistant Commonwealth Attorney.
Compton's body was never discovered despite several days of searching at a landfill in Medora, Indiana.
Cartier-Giroux says, "I don't believe we will ever find the body based on the information I have on how it was ... disposed of via our trash system."
Compton's family did not want to be interviewed; however, the following statement was read after O'Bryan was sentenced:
"It has been an extremely and devastating, exhausting, heart wrenching and emotional journey that will never be over as long as we're on this Earth," said Angela Compton.
As part of the plea agreement, O'Bryan cannot appeal the sentence. He will be eligible for parole after serving 17 years.

I wonder what precedent this sets for 6.0? A new talent every 15 levels works well for zero through 90, but what if we only see 5 more levels in 6.0? Do we not get a talent? Do they just give us one at 95 because it's the end and, if so, what happens at 7.0? Could we see 15 levels for 6.0?
Where's Chromie when you need him ....
Shepherd57 said...
If Blizzard decides to stay with the same talent system in 6.0 and if they give us a seventh teir they will more than likely just give your talent points at different levels. so in 6.0 we can level to 95. 95-11=84 and 84/7 equals a new talent every 12 levels starting at 11 we get one tier of talents every twelve levels. We wouldn't get cool abilities at the classic levels of 60,70,80, and 85 but the break down would be something like: 11, 23, 35, 47, 59, 71, 83, and 95.
RedMosquito said...
There's also the possibility - and I think it's pretty likely - that Blizzard will add one, maybe two more talent choices with the next expansion. So instead of getting 6, you get 7 or 8.
Until we know how many levels we have and how many talent choices we have, I think it's a little pointless to speculate. They'll simply divide it again to whatever fits the new paradigm.
Drakkenfyre said...
Chromie has been stated as a female by Blizzard in the official magazine.
I would hope that they would build expandability into the system for the next expansion, but honestly, I expect a full talent system rebuild again, and they will deal with it then.
Their stated goals with the upcoming system just isn't going to work, and it's going to be like all the other times, "We wanted to eliminate cookie-cutter builds, and other (things), but it didn't work out, so we're redoing the talent system again."

Right- or Left-Side Sleeping: What's Worse for Heartburn?
Can your sleeping position affect heartburn pain? According to several studies, the answer is yes. A study published in The Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology found that "the total amount of reflux time was significantly greater" when study volunteers lay on their right side, as opposed to their left side, after eating high-fat meals. Immediately after eating the meals, the researchers had the volunteers lie on one side or the other for four hours while devices measured levels of their esophageal acidity. In addition to the greater amount of reflux time, the scientists also found that the "average overall acid clearance was significantly prolonged with right side down."
Another study published in The American Journal of Gastroenterology found similar results. In that study, researchers fed chronic heartburn sufferers a high-fat dinner and a bedtime snack and then measured their reflux as they slept. The right-side sleepers had greater acid levels and longer "esophageal acid clearance," wrote the researchers.
Why does sleeping position affect heartburn? Although the reasons aren't exactly clear, scientists theorize that right-side sleeping relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, which is situated between the stomach and the esophagus. Normally when you swallow, your lower esophageal sphincter relaxes to allow food to flow down to your stomach and then closes. But if the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes abnormally or is weakened, stomach acid can flow back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn. Left-side sleeping, say researchers, may keep the junction between the stomach and the esophagus above the level of gastric acid.
Elevating the head of your bed by six to nine inches allows gravity to work for you by keeping the stomach's contents where they belong. Some other tips to help ease the pain of heartburn include:
- Maintaining a healthy weight. Excess pounds put pressure on your abdomen, pushing up your stomach and causing acid to back up into your esophagus.
- Knowing your food triggers. Everyone has specific triggers that set off a bout of heartburn, such as alcohol, chocolate or fried foods. Keeping a food diary of all the foods you eat and your reaction to them will help you spot your trigger foods.
- Quitting smoking. Smoking decreases the ability of the lower esophageal sphincter to function properly.
- Refraining from lying down after eating. Wait at least two to three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed.
- Avoiding tight-fitting clothes. Clothes that are tight around your waist put pressure on your stomach and the lower esophageal sphincter.

First Passage
Somewhere Of Not the Same Place
Hunger. Must EAT. Need.... Something. Where am I? Who am I?
"WHO AM I?" Screams a voice in a dark as black pitch.
Who was that? Was it me? Or not me?
"Who cares if it was you, or I, or the dead, or anyone? When in here, all is dark and sanity is lost. Give in." responds the darkness
"NOOOO!" screeches the voice again.
Who is this? What is going on.....? HUNGER. Must find.......what? Light? Family? Food? Help?
"Prey is what you want." Something sinister and cold purrs deeply.
No, we, I, must resist. Must fight! Why? What am I fighting?
"What is the point of resisting me? I am what you want. What you need to make you powerful." Whispers the blackness.
"Because of sanity and reason!" A ghost responds vehemently.
"None of that will matter when I get out and the hunt begins." growls a demonic presence.
"STOP TALKING!" yells the first voice again raggedly.
"Only when I win." state the three other voices in unison.
The voice screams again in pain and longing for something it doesn't remember then all goes silent.

Posted by Greg Kasavin on February 26, 2011
Check out our beautiful new wallpaper image design by our artist Jen Zee, something we cooked up in preparation for PAX East. We have it in 1920×1080 and 1680×1050.
If you study this image closely it will give you an impression of some of the different places you'll go in this new world of ours.
