Acupuncture Affects Brain's Ability to Regulate Pain
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Acupuncture has been used for over two millennia in East-Asian medicine to treat pain. Using brain imaging, researchers have provided novel evidence that traditional Chinese acupuncture affects the brain's long-term ability to regulate pain. Their findings show acupuncture acts as more than a placebo, and can activate receptors in the brain that process and dampen pain signals.

FORT PIERCE -- The city is interested in measuring the public's interest in the development of community gardens.
Website and paper-based surveys have been developed to help identify the interest, suitability, and demand of the idea.
"We have received several suggestions from residents asking us to gauge the interest in promoting community gardens within the City," said Nicholas Mimms, deputy city manager. "This is the first step in the process, which I hope will result in community gardens being available in several of our neighborhoods. Using this survey, we hope to hear from local people who are genuinely interested in obtaining a plot of land and participating in a community garden project, either for themselves, for their organization, school, or community group."
"Community gardens offer a wide range of benefits, so I won't be surprised if we are inundated with positive interest in the project," said Mr. Mimms. "Not only are community gardens an obvious source of fresh fruits and vegetables, they also provide an opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people, reduce stress, improve well-being, are a good form of exercise, are a chance for children to learn where food comes from, and generally provide a great opportunity to spend time outside enjoying nature."
To complete an online community survey, visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/MBKZFSQ.
Surveys are also available in the city manager's office at City Hall or by contacting Brittany Athey at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Home > Innovation > Spring 2011 > Self-Serve Prior Authorization
Some prescription drugs require pre-approval from a patient's health insurance plan before the pharmacy can fill them. This process, called prior authorization, has traditionally been done by phone and by fax a cumbersome and time-consuming procedure for doctors, patients and pharmacists. No more.
The Real-Time Self-Serve program from OptumRx makes the process of accessing needed medications faster and more efficient, all the while ensuring appropriate safety checks and balances. This capability resides in a new online channel for prior authorizations that integrates plan, member and physician data that's available 24 hours a day. Prescription Solutions is the only major Pharmacy Benefits Management firm offering this service.
Linked systems
Real-Time Self-Serve lets our Claims and Prior Authorization systems 'talk' to each other for the first time. So now physicians can submit information electronically that previously had to be collected manually.
Sixty percent of the time physicians receive an instant approval. If required, a further clinical review typically can be completed in less than 72 hours. Also, physicians and health care professionals can use the new service to check on the status of a Prior Authorization request, even if it was not submitted online.
The Real-Time Self-Serve program is helping to make health care simpler, more consistent and more responsive for our members. Meanwhile, physicians and other health care providers can spend less time on routine administration and more time with their patients.
Status: Real-Time Self-Serve is currently available to registered health care providers.

There is more to nutrition during cancer and cancer therapy than getting enough calories and protein. The foods you choose also help you cope with side effects, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chewing and swallowing difficulties, and taste changes.
As each person's individual medical profile and diagnosis is different, so is his or her reaction to treatment. Side effects may be severe, mild, or absent. Be sure to discuss with your cancer care team the possible side effects of treatment before the treatment begins.
Sometimes, cancer treatment causes temporary changes in the way foods taste. Some foods might taste metallic, bland, or have other unpleasant tastes. Taste changes can affect your appetite and desire for food. Use some of the suggestions below to make food taste more desirable:
Eat with plastic utensils.
Choose and prepare foods that look and smell good to you.
If red meat, such as beef, tastes or smells strange, try chicken, turkey, eggs, dairy products, or mild-tasting fish instead.
Marinate meats with sweet marinades or sauces.
Try tart foods, such as oranges or lemonade, which may have more taste. A tart lemon custard might taste good and will also provide needed protein and calories. (If you have a sore mouth or throat, tart or citrus foods might cause pain or discomfort.)
If smells bother you, try serving foods cold or at room temperature, turning on a kitchen fan, covering foods when cooking, and cooking outdoors in good weather.
Try using bacon, ham, or onion to add flavor to vegetables.
Visit your dentist to rule out dental problems that may affect the taste or smell of food.
If foods taste bland, use extra seasonings, spices, and flavorings.
Drink lemon or other tart flavored drinks to stimulate saliva and taste.
Keep your mouth clean with rinsing and brushing.

Pretty Bones
by Aya Tsintziras
Publisher: Lorimer
Publication Date: Sept 2, 2011
Page Count: 160
Source: Purchased
Add on Goodreads
Raine has a family, good grades, best friends, and a boyfriend who loves her. But then anorexia takes over, and her life spirals out of control. Her efforts to hide her condition are finished when she collapses at a school dance. Although she's whisked away to treatment, Raine isn't ready to accept who she really is and get the help she desperately needs. For Raine, coming-of-age means coming closer to death.
Usually I stray away from books with this subject matter. Without being too vague, it's just something that I don't fancy reading about because it's pretty uncomfortable stuff. I had to give this book a chance though, especially after reading this blog post about how the idea of this story came to be.
Pretty Bones is a frightening look into the mind of a teenage victim of anorexia. Although people may be quick to judge or express their complete confusion as to what could lead someone to resort to starvation, this book pretty much sheds light on how this disorder isn't something that should be brushed away with the mere shake of the head. Through Raine, we see how it is something that can infiltrate your way of thinking and become a factor in every single minute of how you live your life.
I certainly didn't expect this novel to be so sad and dark, but I think that is why I liked it. There is no prettying up Raine's story and every thought of hers, however simple or complicated, is so damn honest. It's almost scary how much truth there is to Raine's 'logic'. Everything is so matter-of-fact. This book actually reminded me of Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak (a favourite of mine). Similar to Anderson's novel, it is easy to be so frustrated with the protagonist and at times I just wanted to shake Raine out of her stubbornness. …But then at the same time, I could fully understand why she thinks the way she does and why she feels so unpretty.
A character definitely worth noting is Dylan, Raine's boyfriend. I was surprised at how forgiving Dylan seemed to be over and over again, but I think his presence in Raine's life (even when he wasn't physically there) was one that was much needed. I think he (and Sascha, too) represented a fine line between what could make or break a person. Even though Raine's mother tries to put her into therapy, there was still something slightly disconnected about her actions. Dylan might be a little corny at times, but I never doubted his concern.
On a slightly lighter note, it was pretty cool to be able to visualize the setting and Toronto landmarks so surely. For me, at least, I think that's some of the reason why I felt so affected by Raine's story. I've totally walked down those same streets and I've probably bought drinks at the same Starbucks that she frequents. I don't want to say I can ~relate~ to her, but well, you know.
Despite the fact that my brain felt numb and quite unsettled after reading, I did enjoy this book and I would definitely recommend it. It's some seriously thought-provoking stuff.

Shipping and Handling Chap. 5"And
checkmate." Cloudcover declared, effectively trapping Breeze's king and ending the chess game. Breeze scrutinized the board for several seconds before sighing and sweeping the remaining pieces of the board with a hoof."That's the fourth game in a row you've won," the red pony grumbled indignantly.Cloudcover grinned. "I've always been somewhat of a whiz at this game. Better luck next time, mate. Shall we set up again?""Nah," Breeze replied. "We've been at it all day," he glanced at the clock. "Literally. It must be a slow day for shipping in Equestria.""Did anyone get assigned a job at all today?" Cloudcover asked."Yeah," said Breeze. "Haven't you noticed that we haven't seen Ditzy in a couple hours?""Ah, right," said the white pegasus, scanning the room to confirm that the mare was not present. "Sorry, it's hard to concentrate with those two always yelling."He pointed th
Shipping and Handling Chap. 3"Muffins!"Ditzy burst through the door of the employee lounge, leapt into the air, and flew straight across the room to the breakfast table. An entire muffin was already in her mouth before her hooves even touched the floor again. The grey pegasus chewed contently for a few moments."Hungry today, are we?"Ditzy snapped out of her muffin trance, and turned to glance at the pony who had addressed her."Hi Breeze!" she greeted cheerfully after managing to swallow the large quantity of muffin she had been chewing."Hey." Breeze replied, flashing a friendly smile. "So, how'd that first job go yesterday? Did you manage to fulfill your client's request?"Ditzy nodded enthusiastically and proceeded to tell her co-worker all about the previous day's assignment. "Well, sounds like an easy one, but I bet Candyfloss planned that, it being your first assignment and all" Breeze answered when her story had concluded. "But still, you
Shipping and Handling Chap. 2 The next thing Ditzy remembered was waking suddenly. She would have immediately taken the opportunity to pass the whole incident off as a dream, had she not looked up to see Autumn Breeze standing over her."Hi." Said Breeze bluntly. "You passed out, so I put you on the couch. I'll give you a second to collect yourself, in case coming to grips with your situation makes you faint again."He chuckled a bit, but Ditzy hardly heard him; her head was positively swimming with thoughts as everything Dr. Candyfloss had said and done began to make sense. Dr. Candyfloss was glad to hear I wasn't separated from my husband... she thought, ...because that would mean that there had been poor choices of romantic partner made. He wouldn't hire a matchmaker that had failed to match herself up! One after another, the rest of Candyflos
Shipping and Handling Chap. 6"Happy Birthday, Dinky!"The tiny unicorn squealed with delight as she gazed upon her surprise party. The backyard of the little cottage had been transformed into a veritable filly's wonderland. Several tables were laid out, covered in festive tablecloths and adorned with balloons. A mountain of colorfully wrapped gifts was piled in on one of them, and the rest were laden with large amounts of sweets. There was even a huge custom birthday cake, a real one, professionally prepared at Sugarcube Corner, instead of the muffin topped with a candle Dinky was used to receiving on her birthday.Many of the fillies and colts from Dinky's class at school stood in the yard as well. Dinky immediately recognized the trio who called themselves the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as well as Pipsqueak, the new colt who had moved from Trottingham a few months earlier. Twist, the geeky but friendly filly who sat next to Dinky in class,
Shipping and Handling Chap. 7"Mister Autumn Breeze, please come to my office. I have an assignment for you.""Looks like the boss needs me," Breeze said. "I'll catch you later, Ditzy. Good luck on your assignment, if you get one today."He leaned in much closer to the female pegasus. "And
good luck with you know who," he whispered, giving his head a twitch in the direction of a certain blue unicorn, who was ignoring the pegasi and flipping through a magazine as usual."I hate being stuck here alone with Glow," Ditzy whispered back."Don't let her get under your skin," Breeze replied quietly. "You know she's usually just full of idle threats and empty insults."Breeze got up and trotted over to the door. "Anyway, see ya'.""Bye," Ditzy replied, watching her coworker trot down the stairs.Silence reigned for a few moments. Ditzy slowly made her way back toward the side of the room where she and Breeze had been sitting, as far as possi

I'm sorry, boss
" Ditzy mumbled, shrinking back a bit. "Uh
it won't happen again?" Her apology was phrased more like a question. "Oh, right. Sure. That's believable
" the larger pegasus snorted, twisting his black baseball cap haphazardly. "I mean, what are the odds of Ditzy Doo screwing up another delivery? I mean, that never happens..."Ditzy winced at the harsh sarcasm in her superior's voice. Still, she managed to work up the nerve to ask the inevitable question."So

Shipping and Handling Chap. 8Dinky Doo trotted back and forth in front of Twist, like a military sergeant addressing a private."Alright, Twist, let's go over it one more time. I know we can figure out what's going on."Twist sighed and flipped back to the first page of the notebook yet again. "Dinky, are you sure we're not just on a wild goose chase?""Yes, I'm sure!" Dinky replied, pounding her front hooves for emphasis. "My mom's hiding something; that much is obvious. You and I need to find out what it is."Twist rubbed her chin with a hoof for a moment as she thought. "You know, Dinky, usually parents have a good reason for doing what they do. Even if you're right, and your mom really is keeping something from you, maybe it's for the best that it stays that way. Did you consider that?"Dinky's gaze fell. "I
I did think that," she said softly. "That's why I've been feigning ignorance, even though it'
Shipping and Handling Chap. 11Tick. Tick. Tick.It was strangely quiet in the employee lounge at Equestria Speedy Shipping Services. The only sounds were the ticking of the wall clock, and the low, vibrating hum emitting from Watt, as was normal for him when he was actually sitting still. Glow and Cloudcover had already been sent on assignment, and, more worryingly, Ditzy hadn't shown up yet at all.Breeze glanced once again at the clock. "Where in Equestria is Ditzy?" he asked absently to Watt. "She's been a little late before, but she should have been here over an hour ago.""Maybe she's taking the day off," Watt suggested.Breeze frowned. "Maybe. But I think she would have told me yesterday if she was planning to take vacation today."Watt squinted, thinking hard. "Maybe she got abducted by spaceponies, then?"Breeze stared blankly at his coworker, who apparently was under the impression that spaceponies wer
Shipping and Handling Chap. 9A warm, cheerful summer morning always succeeded in lifting the spirits of the residents of Ponyville, and this morning was no different. The sunlight bathed every inch of town with its soothing rays, signaling to everypony the start of another carefree summer day. It seemed there wasn't anypony for miles who was anything less than perfectly content.Anypony, that is, save for a certain grey pegasus, who was slowly being consumed by her own anxiety.Ditzy trudged silently toward the front doors of Equestria Speedy Shipping Services. She opted not to fly for once; her distracted state of mind combined with her already poor vision had led her to several aerial accidents this morning alone, leading to a few hundred bits of property damage, and a splitting headache for the pegasus.Ditzy couldn't understand what was holding her back anymore; a whole month had passed since Breeze had visited for dinner, yet the mare still hadn't told Dinky the truth about her job.
Kindness's Reward Chapter 5Chapter 5Trixie found the days passed by quickly and peacefully from there. She began to develop a routine. By the time she awoke Fluttershy was making breakfast, typically oatmeal, a warm and filing meal that started the day right. Trixie would take her mornings easy, still recuperating. She had gotten her books back from Twilight, and would review them, often in the garden if the weather held. She would then usually accompany Fluttershy into town in the afternoon, having lunch with her or just taking the chance to stretch her legs. She began to fill out little by little, her coat gleamed once more, and she regained her former energy. Only one thing stood between her and true health. That was why, nearly a week since her first visit, Trixie found herself in the Ponyville library again, Twilight Sparkle staring at her."Absolutely no magic?""None at all." Trixie shook her head. Twilight frowned."What happens if you try?"Trixie shuddered. "Nausea. Trixie would rather leave it at tha
Kindness's Reward Chapter 3Chapter 3Trixie made her way down the stairs unsteadily the next morning, feeling rested but hungry. She realized as she walked down that she was being watched. Looking around, she found a white rabbit standing on a small end table, glaring at her. It made her feel unwelcome, but Trixie just glared back at it."Do not mess with Trixie, rabbit, or she may make you part of her next routine."The rabbit did not look amused. A noise distracted her, and Trixie looked up to realize the birdhouses hanging from the ceiling were occupied, small sparrows talking to one another from their houses."What kind of house is this?" Trixie just stared on. Another bird emerged from a larger house. It was a robin that began to whistle a tune. To Trixie's surprise, a silky voice sang back, wordlessly, in perfect key."Good morning- oh, Trixie!" Fluttershy entered the room from the kitchen. Trixie realized she had a light blush on her face and immediately scolded herself. Why was she blushing?"Would you,
Kindness's Reward Chapter 4Chapter 4The next morning, Fluttershy and Trixie shared a breakfast of oatmeal again. Trixie found it easier to get around and ate almost an entire bowlful. She realized most of her original wounds were healing nicely, and while her side was tender it wasn't painful to move, usually."The others will want to know you're up." Fluttershy said. Trixie glanced down at the floor."Will they really care?""They're my friends too." Fluttershy responded. Trixie nodded, understanding what she meant."Shall we... go out?" Trixie asked. Fluttershy paused."Are you...are you sure? They could come...""Trixie has healed excellently under such adept care." she smiled at Fluttershy, who blushed slightly in response. "Besides," Trixie said softly, "she promises not to exert herself. She doesn't want to spend a single day more bedridden.""Okay. A day out would be...nice." Fluttershy smiled. Trixie nodded and waited as Fluttershy cleaned up breakfast. They made their way to the door. That same rabbit
The Party Hasn't Ended Part 6The Party Hasn't Ended Part 6 starring Twilight Sparkle and a special guest star"I do hope Rarity and the fillies are OK
" thought Twilight as she battled her way through the driving rain. "I don't want to imagine what damage Applebloom and her friends have done to the boutique by now, stuck inside out of this storm!"Her hooves splashed up muddy water as she trotted, soaking her legs, while about her the storm continued to ravage the little town. Trees bent in the growling winds and the rain was now almost a vertical wall that she had to struggle through. The umbrella she had brought from the library had long since been blown out of her telekinetic grip, and had spiralled off into the deepening darkness.Twilight was almost at Rarity's boutique when a pony came rushing up to her out of the gloom. It was Nurse Mercy, the head of the Ponyville hospital, and she was in such a hurry that she almost ran straight into the unicorn pony."Oh, Twilight Sparkle!" Mercy shout
Kindness's Reward Chapter 2Chapter 2Trixie awoke slowly, feeling an odd peace about her that she hadn't felt in a long, long time. Her entire body tingled pleasantly, her muscles were entirely relaxed, and she found a smile on her face. She stretched a little and opened her eyes.Almost immediately her mood fouled. There was less light than last time, but she could still make out the same yellow ceiling as before. She quickly remembered where she was and why. That pegasus, she had... tricked Trixie. Tricked her into accepting food and aid, Trixie realized. She wasn't sure what exactly the pegasus had done wrong. But the indignity of it infuriated her.Trixie looked herself over and gasped slightly. Her body was more bandages than not, her legs entirely covered and several pads held to her sides with medical tape. She realized her muscles were relaxed thank to several damp clothes placed around her shoulders and hips. She shook them off and immediately regretted it, yelping as her bandages rubbed and made her aw
Kindness's Reward Chapter 6Chapter 6Trixie groaned and stretched as she woke up. Her legs felt like lead. Opening her eyes revealed a familiar ceiling. It was the middle of the night, a half moon providing only just enough light to see by. Trixie wondered if she could go more than a week without passing out anytime soon. She glanced up as if to see her own forehead, and focused for a moment. Sure enough, a pale blue light emanated from her horn."Hah hah!" she shouted in excitement. A murmur caught her attention. She looked over and found Fluttershy asleep on her stool, just like a week ago. Trixie smiled and chuckled. She gazed on at Fluttershy for a moment, before a small part of her reminded her of her situation. Her smile turned into a deep frown. She forced herself out of bed on the far side from Fluttershy."I've taken enough from you." Trixie whispered. Her horn continued to glow as she enveloped Fluttershy in a magical aura. She gently lifted Fluttershy from her seat and pulled back the covers. She slid
The Party Hasn't Ended Part 7The Party Hasn't Ended Part 7 starring Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie and all the inhabitants of PonyvilleTwilight was still lying on the floor of the library, but Dash and Pinkie were no longer beside her and Zecora and the others were nowhere to be seen. She stood up and as she did she noticed that sunlight was streaming in through the windows. She opened the door to the library and looked outside. It was a beautiful sunny day. A light breeze ruffled her mane, while above her fluffy white clouds floated serenely against the blue vault of a summer sky."Is... is this really a dream?" she wondered. But it all seemed so real! Twilight didn't know what she'd been expecting gloomy forests, twisted buildings, labyrinthine streets filled with grotesque illusions maybe?She was about to go outside when she stepped on something lying on the floor. It was an envelope! She floated it up for a closer look.To Twilight Sparkle! From your bestest friend forever, Pinkie Pie!<
The Party Hasn't Ended Part 9The Party Hasn't Ended Part 9 starring Rainbow Dash and Pinkie PieRainbow Dash stood at the end of the cloud-colonnade and looked over the edge, gazing down towards the surface of Equestria far below her. Tears fell steadily from her rose eyes and she watched as each tear spiralled down through the night air until it disappeared. It would be so easy to just fall forwards, to keep her wings furled tight against her sides, and to just spiral down to the earth herself until she disappeared as well!It was then that she felt somepony approaching her along the colonnade, from the direction of Cloudsdale Flight School's hall where the Autumn Sky Ball was coming to an end. She didn't turn her head, but sobbed and rubbed the tears from her eyes."Just go away!" she whispered harshly at the unseen newcomer. "Can't you see I just want to be alone?""Oh, Miss Dash," It was a cultured voice, soft and resonant, and Dash immediately recognised it. "Thank goodness I've found you at las
The Party Hasn't Ended Part 8The Party Hasn't Ended Part 8 starring Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie and the rest of the cast of Friendship is MagicApplejack, an affectionate smile on her face, had been watching Twilight and Big McIntosh and listening to their conversation the whole time. She turned to Rarity and said "Naw don' those two jus' make the most adorable couple?"Rarity looked at them and beamed. "Oh, most ASSUREDLY Applejack. They're like a dream come true!"Twilight's eyes flicked open. A dream come true. A dream? Where had she heard that before? Somepony had said something about a dream, and for her to be careful. But who had it been? Suddenly she heard Zecora's voice echo in her head."Hear my advice and heed it well, lest the dream should draw you under its spell; Do not forget that all you see is shaped from the dreamer's memory.""This.... this is all wrong!" Twilight said, her voice tinged with horror. She pulled out of Big McIntosh's embrace. "Everything is perfect
too perfect!
Shipping and Handling Chap. 4"Attention employees. It is now five o'clock. Your shift is over for the day. See you next week."Breeze stomped his front hooves in satisfaction upon hearing the intercom message, and quickly cantered out of Equestria Speedy Shipping Services' Headquarters. Once outside, he bent down and extended his wings, ready to take off."Hey Breeze! Wait up!"Breeze turned to face the source of the familiar female voice, looking up as Ditzy Doo descended and (for once) landed successfully."I just got back from a job," Ditzy panted. "Are we done for the day?""Yep," Breeze replied. "Candyfloss just announced it was closing time. We're done until Monday.""Alright, I guess I'll head home then," Ditzy said."Which way are you headed?" The male pegasus asked. "Towards Cloudsdale?""Well

To be conscious totally - to be conscious.! To use the symbol of flowers for consciousness is multi-meaningful. It is not only a symbol - because consciousness is factually a flowering in man. When man flowers, comes to his omega point, suddenly there is a burst of flowering. That flowering is of consciousness.
But man as he is is just a seed. He is not conscious, he is not a consciousness. This will be difficult and very humiliating, because we go on thinking that we are conscious, and this is the most fatal belief - dangerous, poisonous - because if you think that you are already conscious then there is no possibility for you to flower. If a seed thinks and believes that it is already a tree, already flowering, then there is no possibility for the seed to grow. It has deceived itself completely.
Gurdjieff has said that you are in a prison - but you can come to believe that you are not in a prison, that this is your home. You can decorate your prison in such a way that it begins to look like your home. You can even be proud of it, you can boast of it, your chains can become your ornaments. It depends on you. You can interpret, and this interpreting is, in a way, very satisfying because then there is no need to fight against this imprisonment. Then you can be at ease. It is very convenient.
All human beliefs are conveniences, but dangerous. Because of them the possibility to evolve is nullified completely, negated completely. The prisoner can think that he is not a prisoner, but already a free man. This is convenient to believe because then there is no burden. But then this prisoner can never be free. So Gurdjieff says that the first necessary step towards freedom is to recognize the humiliating fact that you are a prisoner - only then does growth become possible.
The first thing about this sutra that I would like to say to you is: be completely aware that you are not conscious. This is the first step towards awareness.
You are not conscious at all; you live an unconscious life. Whatsoever you are doing is a robot-like thing, mechanical. For example, you are listening to me. You are listening to me, but you are not aware of the fact that you are listening. Now you can become aware after I have said it, but you were not previously. For a moment you can become aware that you are listening to me, but only for a moment, and then you will slip again into unconsciousness. Then you will listen to me, but not as a conscious being; you will listen to me like a mechanical thing.

AMG Review
Craig Butler
Thelonius Monk: Straight, No Chaser is an absolute treasure trove for jazz aficionados in general and Thelonius Monk devotees in particular. Most viewers who do not fall into either camp should still find a lot to enjoy in Chaser, but be warned: some people never were able to "get into" Monk's music, and those people may find Chaser less rewarding. That's largely because the bulk of Chaser is made up of wonderful, rare archival footage from concerts that the jazz legend gave in 1968. It's a little disappointing that there's not more depth to the interviews, which could have led to a better understanding of Monk the person. But the fact of the matter is that Monk was a mystery; he suffered from some form of unspecified mental illness that made relating to other people, or revealing much of himself to others, very difficult. With that in mind, Chaser succeeds quite well, for it presents enough information about the man to leave audiences as puzzled as many of his long time acquaintances were by him. As mentioned earlier, however, the real gold of Chaser is in the performance segments, which reveal Monk as a true genius of both composition and interpretation -- and a man with a style of playing the piano that was truly his own. ~ Craig Butler, Rovi

Honda XL350 Grass Tracker by Phil Little Racing
At first glance, Honda XL350 Grass Tracker by Phil Little Racing looks like Honda C70 1970-1984 edition. But, in fact this bike is dirt bike style, in hand of Phill Little, it could looks like Grasstrack.
In concept, Little Phil chose the mainframe-style of speedwaymotor. This stiffly framework as a support of the grasstrack modification. For the manufacture of other chassis components, Phil submit to his brother, Ric Little.
Middle Frame supported by two aluminum plates as thick as 5/16 inch, polished with red anodize. The hang-tank got from Merritt Cody Shop, Minneapolis. It makes more obvious impression of tracker.
To tame the brunt of the wind and the drift field due to change in the chassis, the rear suspension was added. This has further strengthened character of grasstrack bike.
Front fork found from Bill Cody Racing. Honda XL350 engine was chosen because the machine that had been reliable. Of course it also have enough power even if invited to hit the snowy tracks.
Kawasaki KX100 2012, following the necessary for using the right tool of the race, this dirt bike is the best and perfect motocross bike to bring the challenge of rider competitiveness, and begin to enter the transition into the big class of 250cc full-sized lites competition.

Derby recreation center closedApril 02,2013DERBY An indoor community recreation center in northern Vermont has closed due to financial problems.
Community National Bank has taken over Indoor Recreation of Orleans known as IROC in Derby on Sunday after the facility failed to pay its mortgage for months.
The chairman of the board and executive director said he hopes that the facility can be purchased and continue serving the entire community.
The center has a pool, skating rink, gym and offered fitness and recreation programs, as well as basketball, volleyball and soccer leagues.
The Caledonia Record reported that IROCs board of directors could not raise enough money to secure a low-interest loan to pay off about $1 million in debt. The facility also needed $150,000 in maintenance.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Lawmakers complained to the states top health care reform official Thursday they...

At Indiana University Bloomington, only 4 percent of the students claim they are African American or black.
When I first saw that percentage I was shocked. That number seemed surprisingly low. But when I got to campus I noticed the number is actually understandable. Diversity is something that is definitely encouraged and promoted at IUB. It is actually achieved.
Just walking around campus you will see students from many races and nationalities. I've seen Caucasian, Korean, Chinese and Mexican students in the span of a few seconds of looking around me. There are many different shades of skin color roaming the campus.
It feels great being at a place where there are students of every race and nationality who are willing to become your friend.
Some students don't know English or barely know it. Some students know multiple languages. There are many students from different countries with many diverse backgrounds that have interesting stories. It's pretty cool to meet new people and see what they've done in their life and learn about it. It's a good experience to hear people speak a different language and wonder what they are saying, just like they are with the Americans speaking English.
Then there are some interesting responses when people answer why they came to Indiana University Bloomington or how they ended up at IUB.
Some say they got the most financial assistance from IUB; others say they just wanted to get away and start their life fresh. People have told me that they came to IUB partially because of the campus and how beautiful it is. Some students have said they wanted to be at a very diverse campus. Many students are taking classes about different world cultures because they are interested in learning about cultures.
I've met students from my dorm who lived in California, New York, Illinois and other states before they came to Indiana University Bloomington. That was only in a single day that I met all these great people.
During my time on campus I probably will meet students from most states, if not all of them. There are students from every state attending IUB. The only area that isn't represented at IUB is Antarctica.
Accepting people for who they are is encouraged here and at many other colleges and universities.
People have always told me to treat others the way I would want for them to treat me. Whether you're at a big school or a small school, there are some great and interesting people that are just waiting to meet you.
Just be friendly and be willing to strike up a conversation with a stranger. That person could end up being a good friend for the rest of your life, or even your husband or wife.

This is basically a slot machine. You have to try to spin the slot machine as many times as you dare until you hit $5,000. When you hit 5K, you win. If you hit a natural triple, meaning all 3 slides say the same thing, you get a $2,000 bonus! But, like Afghanistan would, watch out for that bomb! If it hits you, you lose all your cash, that slot is bombed, and you can't score in it anymore for the rest of the round. Each time you win, more cash adds to your total. After any successful win, you can print out your success in certificate form. If you stop, however, you get anything that you have won up to that point, not including the round you played.
BTW... no real money is offered... Dumbnut.

trick to growing "Florida Beauty" is keeping the soil at

loose the lower leaves... to wet and you'll loose the whole plant.
Since they are inexpensive one can afford to experiment until you

Thank you so much, I'm really glad that you enjoyed it, whoever you may be! This message made me smile :)
Well, I've just uploaded the last picture and I'm feeling much more emotional than I ever thought I would feel about a blog!
2012 was so much better for me than I first expected. I met new people, I formed new friendships, I passed 6 exams, I visited new places but, most importantly, I felt the happiest I had ever felt.
The blog was a really good way for me to record the year. I look at the photos now and remember the place where I took that photo, what I'd been doing that day and sometimes even how I was feeling when I took it.
It also really stretched my creativity and improved my photography. I started off the year, semi-interested in photography and decided to set myself the challenge of taking a photo every day during a rare (sugar-fuelled) moment when I felt like I needed a challenge. I've now finished the year with a burning passion for photography, a new camera and a more creative eye. I now see things as potential photographs and I often feel strange when I don't go out with my camera. Oh, how a year can change things!
I have several people to thank for their support for this blog over the past year. So, thank you…
- To my parents for putting up with me on the days where it was 11:30PM and I still hadn't taken a photo, for helping me chose which photos to put up, for reminding me to take a photo but mostly for being the supportive parents they've always been.
- To my grandmama for checking my blog regularly and being very encouraging.
- To Harry for teaching me about the rule of thirds. I swear it's changed my life!
- To Rachel, just for being there when I came up with the idea and thankfully not telling me that it was completely stupid.
- To my friends, for listening to me bang on about my blog.
- And, most importantly, to everyone on Tumblr who liked, reblogged, followed or even just looked at my photos. Your support honestly means a lot and it is all very encouraging. Seeing that people enjoy my photography makes me smile and motivates me to do even better.
No matter what happens though, I know that I will be eternally grateful for 2012 and the things that I've experienced.
I wish you all the best for 2013 and I hope to see some of you at my new main blog!
Thank you all again,
Sophie xo1st Jan with 1 note

Nestled in the hills of west-central Pennsylvania is a small town with a population of about 6,000. On your average day, Punxsutawney appears to be a normal town. People go about their business at a normal pace. Everything is good….and then February rolls around and things get wild.
February 2nd marks the celebration of Groundhogs Day, a tradition that has been going on for 125 years and what some claim is the oldest tradition in American history. Festivities start days before with crowds of up to 40,000 flocking to this small Pennsylvanian town about an hour and a half northeast of Pittsburgh. What drives this mass of people to venture out into the cold brutal Pennsylvania winter weather for days? It's to see Punxsutawney Phil, a local celebratory groundhog who is woken up from his 6 month slumber just to tell us the weather. How famous is he? He's nationally known from being on Oprah to having a whole movie based around him. His time to shine however comes once a year on February 2nd where he makes the prediction heard across the U.S. People march up to Gobblers Knob, just outside of the town to get a prime spot to watch him. Gates open at around 3:00AM EST with pre-prediction fireworks and other festivities. The weather prediction itself occurs just after dawn which is around 7:25 AM EST. His prediction is pretty simple. If he is pulled from his den and sees his shadow, it's time for him to head back to bed to dream of groundhog things because there are still 6 more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, spring is near and nap time is officially up.
Records indicate that there have been 113 recorded Punxsutawney Phil Groundhogs Day observations. Out of those 113, Phil has seen his shadow 98 times and not observed his shadow the other 15. That indicates that he has seen his shadow 87 percent of the time and has predicted 6 more weeks of winter for each of those years. Many take his predictions to heart while others sit back and question them. Just how accurate are these Punxsutawney Phil predictions? Well a study done by Stormfax.com shows that he is accurate only 39 percent of the time. So should we really trust him? Maybe it is time to pick a new groundhog to listen to. There have been many groundhog weather predictors emerging around the U.S. including General Beau Lee from Georgia and Sir Walter Wally of North Carolina. Aside from their normal job of being a groundhog, these chucks are nice enough to share their Meteorology knowledge once a year to the country. However it is unlikely that these groundhogs are any better at predicting the weather than Phil. So why does Punxsutawney and other towns across the U.S. do it? It's not so much done for the weather prediction, but more so to keep a long lasting tradition alive. There's nothing better than having a reason to celebrate and I'm sure those 40,000 in Punxsutawney couldn't agree more. Have a Happy Groundhogs Day from everyone at Weatherist!

Vin Diesel has urged critics to give Ben Affleck a break after they took aim at his casting as Batman in the "Man of Steel" sequel.
Bing: Lex Luthor to be in 'Man of Steel' sequel?
Diesel, who passed on the lead role in "Daredevil" before Affleck took it on, insists he doesn't care who plays the Caped Crusader, but the Oscar winner will be more than able to handle the role.
He tells the Huffington Post, "Let him live is my motto, let him live. Let Warner Bros. hire whoever they want, let Ben do whatever he wants. He got an Oscar, give him some credit. Leave him alone."

Fans of Batman who are unhappy with Affleck's casting have launched an online petition in the hope of changing movie executives' minds.
Affleck will suit up alongside Henry Cavill in the sequel.

Partnership bill is good for U.S. and Israel
It is unfortunate that the authors of the recent commentary, "Don't let Israel discriminate," (April 30), distort the purpose and the effect of the U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act. This bill merely states that the State of Israel is designated as a country that is eligible for the Visa Waiver Program.

I'm having trouble finding a charging/transmitting accessory for an iPad mini. Details inside. (self.ipad)
submitted 1 year ago by [deleted]
I just got an iPad mini and I was looking for something to transmit to a radio station and charge my iPad at the same time. It needs to be a lightning bolt connection, which is what's giving me a little trouble. I'd like it to do both through the same cable like I used to do with my iPhone. Does such a product exist?
[–]utnow 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I hunted for such a product for a long time before settling on what I have now...
Your easiest option is to spend $30 on the converter and use whatever wire you're using now.
But that might not be ideal for you (it wasn't for me... just because I don't like extra parts).
This is what I finally found that is just perfect for my needs... your milage may vary...
It's a bluetooth audio receiver that works perfectly with the iPhone5 or iPadMini. You plug it into your car's power port, and then use a 3.5mm/3.5mm audio wire (included) to plug this thing into the AUX input on your car, or into an FM transmitter, or whatever. It's got a standard USB port on the top that provides 2.1amp power (fast-charge) so you can use whatever power cord you want (like a lightning cord from apple... or whatever) to plug in your device when you want to.
What I've been loving about it is that I'm not chained to the wire if I want to hear music. My wife can plug in to charge her phone and we keep listening to mine via bluetooth. Plus it starts automatically when I get into the car. Pretty nice setup to be honest. Sound quality is outstanding.
But other than that... I really don't know of a product that fits your exact description yet. Sorry. I've certainly looked.

Thanks for replying. I'm considering something like what you posted, but I'd like to find what I'm specifically looking for if I can.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Whole-grain cereal. Check. Spinach salad. Check. You're doing everything you possibly can to make your diet healthy, right? Maybe not. The truth about the nutrients in these foods -- fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals -- is that many of them aren't completely absorbed by your body. "Age, illness, and meal composition can all affect how much of any one nutrient reaches your cells," explains Marie Dunford, PhD, RD, author of Nutrition Logic: Food First, Supplements Second (Pink Robin Publishing, 2003). Unfortunately, it isn't possible to know exactly how much of any one nutrient you're actually getting, says Dunford. But by combining the right foods in the most nutritionally smart way, you can maximize your nutrient intake. The four meals on the following pages all look healthy enough. But we'll show you how, by switching a few ingredients, you can make them nutritional powerhouses.
Your Current Breakfast: Raisin bran cereal with reduced-fat milk
Why It's Good: A cup of raisin bran packs in about a quarter of your fiber and folic acid needs and half your iron quota for about 200 calories. The milk adds protein, B vitamins, and, of course, calcium.
The Catch: Excess fiber can interfere with the absorption of calcium by pushing food through the digestive tract too rapidly for the mineral to be absorbed.Make It Over
Your Current Lunch: Turkey salami, lettuce, tomato, and cheese on a roll with reduced-fat mayo
Why It's Good: Turkey salami has half the calories and about a third of the fat of regular salami. The tomato gives you lycopene; the lettuce offers fiber.
The Catch: Let's face it: This is still nothing more than meat and cheese on a refined-carbohydrate roll. (P.S. Just because it's reduced-fat mayo doesn't mean you can have double.)Make It Over
Your Current Dinner: Pan-fried tofu with brown rice, chickpeas, and red-pepper strips
Why It's Good: The tofu is a lean source of soy protein, which experts say you need to prevent heart disease. Brown rice has more cancer-fighting nutrients than white.
The Catch: You don't absorb as much protein from vegetable sources. And the rest of this dish is so boring and tasteless, we can't imagine you would prepare it more than once.Make It Over
Salad with spinach, a few mushrooms, and onions seems like the perfect low-cal meal, but certain omissions are keeping this version from providing the biggest nutritional bang. In fact, the salad bar is one of your best opportunities for maximizing your nutrient intake, and it's no place to be stingy with ingredients.What to Look For

Farmers being asked to share their stories, photos
By Sally Voth
Farmers and ranchers across the nation are being asked to share their stories, and those involved in Shenandoah Valley agriculture are sure to have some good ones, according to Shenandoah County extension agent Bobby Clark.
The American Farm Bureau Federation is partnering with the Smithsonian National Museum of American History on the Agricultural Innovation and Experience Project, and Clark is enthusiastic about it.
"I think this is a great way for farmers to tell their story," he said Thursday.
With Virginia being one of the oldest states in the union, its agricultural history is richer, Clark pointed out.
"I think [Cooperative] Extension is probably interwoven into many of the innovations over the last 100 years," he said.
For example, the mechanical reaper was invented in Steeles Tavern, and Virginia Tech has a research farm and museum there now, according to Clark.
Plus, the business structure of poultry farming -- larger companies own the chickens and feed and do the marketing while contracting with farmers to raise the birds -- got its start in the Shenandoah Valley, he said.
In the past 25 years, Clark said he's witnessed some major agricultural innovations, too.
"Now, we have farmers who never plow or disc, and may never plow or disc for the rest of their careers," Clark said. "We have the technology to do that today, and that's great for profit and the environment."
Other innovations include soil nitrous testing, the proliferation of soybean farming in the valley and genetically modified crops.
"I bet you it will be amazing to read the stories farmers will be able to tell and [see] the pictures they will be able to show," Clark said.
Those interested in contributing to the exhibit are encouraged to look through old photo albums, talk to relatives and consider the changes they've witnessed.
