Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins! (PFRPG)
A most unusual adventure for 1st-level goblin characters. The Licktoad goblins of Brinestump Marsh have stumbled upon a great treasure—fireworks! Yet unfortunately for them, the tribe member responsible for the discovery has already been exiled for the abhorrent crime of writing (which every goblin knows steals words from your head). To remedy this situation, the Licktoads' leader, His Mighty Girthness Chief Rendwattle Gutwad, has declared that the greatest heroes of the tribe must venture forth to retrieve the rest of the fireworks from a derelict ship stranded in the marsh. In order to prove themselves as the Licktoads' bravest goblins, the PCs must complete a series of dangerous dares, from swallowing bull slugs and braving the dreaded Earbiter to dancing with Squealy Nord himself. Yet even once they've proven their mettle, the adventure is just beginning. For the ship in question is far from uninhabited, and Vorka the cannibal goblin would like nothing better than a few tasty visitors.... We Be Goblins! is an adventure for 1st-level characters in which the PCs play a horde of malicious and murderous goblins, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest RPG. The adventure takes place outside the town of Sandpoint in the Pathfinder campaign setting, but can easily be adapted for any campaign world. It also serves as a preview of Pathfinder Player Companion: Goblins of Golarion, and as an optional prequel to Pathfinder Adventure Path's upcoming Jade Regent Adventure Path. Written by Richard Pett. This special 16-page Pathfinder Module was initially made available for Free RPG Day on June 18, 2011. Note: Due to the special nature of this product, it is NOT part of the Pathfinder Modules Subscription. We Be Goblins! is sanctioned for use in Pathfinder Society Organized Play. Its Chronicle Sheet and additional rules for running this module are a free download (232 KB zip/PDF). Pregenerated characters are available here (803 KB zip/PDF).

Get Smart About Lead Hazards
Brought to you by the National PTA®.
Make a lifelong commitment to improving the health of your family by starting to make a difference around your home. If you suspect that your home has lead-based hazards, take these simple steps to help protect your family.
- Get your home tested for lead hazards, especially if it was built before 1978.
- Get your children tested if you think they have been exposed to lead.
- Keep paint intact and in good condition. Clean up any paint chips or paint debris around your house using a wet sponge or rag.
- Keep dust levels down by cleaning regularly with an all-purpose cleaner or a cleaner made specifically for lead.
- Wash children's hands often, especially before they eat, to remove any lead that may cling to their hands.
- Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed animals regularly to rid them of lead dust.
- Keep children from chewing on painted surfaces, as these surfaces may contain lead-based paint.
- Make sure your children eat a well-balanced diet that is low in fat and high in calcium and iron. Children with good diets absorb less lead.
- Take precautions before renovating or remodeling a home built before 1978. Contact your local EPA for guidelines.

Do you think this ( one syringe) will be enough?? id like to really plump my lips. I feel like my upper so much smaller so, i want your opinion for a sexy look dr.s :) friends....all comments very welcomed ... adding pics now...a dded this thing wants me to say more but I dont know what to say :0) I can ask....how long will this restalyne plump last? and how much more is the actual permanent... more
"Excellent results with Restalyne,..."
I recently moved back to Edgewater and was looking for a specialist to "balance" some of the irregular / asymmetrical concerns that I had with my face. I did my research, and decided on Dr. Taj Khan.. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, FACS. My consultation was reassuring. Dr. Khan was patient and addressed all of my concerns in detail. He saw what I saw, and I felt comfortable with his... more
"Bags, Crepinesss, Wrinkles from..."
In May, I had restylane injected in my eye troughs - the first cosmetic procedure I'd ever had done. In my research of doctors, I thought I had been thorough and decided on Dr. TG Khan of Hoboken and Edgewater. I had found only positive feedback of him online. During the consultation the doctor initially said he didn't think there would be much of a difference if I had the injection done. He... more
Had Restylane for my tear trough area and although it's been only 24 hours since the procedure, I can see a big difference already. I had no discomfort and very little swelling/bruising that should be gone within a couple of days. Very happy and will be back when it's time for a touch-up. Thank you Dr. Wallach! Highly recommended. more
"Restylane Under Eyes (Tear Troughs)..."
Quite painless, some bruising that was not too bad, instantly gratifying results. Dr Schwarcz tends to be conservative with treatment so as not to over do it, he told me this at the outset and told me to come back if I needed more. When the swelling went down I thought I did need a little more - went back a month later and he made it perfect. Wonderful experience, so happy I got over my fear... more
"Restylane for Under Eye/cheek..."
I made the move to NYC a few months ago and due to the environment change, not to mention the added stress of moving alone to a new city with no job, my skin started to break out pretty bad. Ever since my late teens I've always tried to take good care of my skin, wearing spf everyday and always trying out the latest skin care innovations. A month later when I followed up, my skin had... more
"Poor Outcome - Manhattan, NY"
I was expecting from all the reviews here to have a great result but it wasn't. I wanted to brighten up my face, especially the parenthesis around my mouth. Wait time was minimal and Dr. Krant answered all my questions, but I should have stopped when she said "You might not think it's worth $800." For my first treatment, she said she could only soften the lines, not do much improvement... more
"I'm a Guy and Didn't Want to Look..."
I'm a guy and definitely didn't want to look like I had anything 'done'. Dr.Krant used restalyne in my tear trough area. It was my idea because although the rest my face is ok this area was hollowing out, looking tired. The results were absolutely amazing. I couldn't be happier. more
"Under Eye Hollows. Been 4 Weeks and..."
I researched all of the possible side effects and I knew that getting the right doctor was really important for the delicate eye area. It's been 4 weeks and I am very happy with the results. I used to stare in horror at my reflection in the subway on my way home, people used to constantly ask if I was tired, or comment that I work too much. Not anymore! The procedure was pretty quick, about... more
"I Look Great! - New York, NY"
I found Dr. Robert Anolik because of a magazine article about him. He's just so impressive. I have been bothered for the past 10 years about what I call "my face falling down." My friends laugh at me but I thought I looked older than all of them. Anyway, I talked it over with Dr. Anolik and we discussed the options of carefully placed filler (he recommended Restylane for me). I was hesitant... more
"Very Happy with Results! - New York, NY"
I chose this procedure to treat under eye bags and i chose this doctor because i felt i could trust her with this delicate task. more
"Dr. Friedler's an Ace! - New York, NY"
I took the plunge due to the fact that we cannot defy gravity forever and the bad habits acquired along the way. After seeing the results-such renewed vitality in my smile and overall appearance- absolutely no regrets!!! more
"First Time Botox & Restylane - New..."
This is my first review for Dr. Jessica Krant, and it has been only 5 days since my botox and restylane. This is my review so far. I will update this review regularly. Since my 41st birthday is next month, I thought it was high time to take care of issues that have been bothering me. As of late, I was starting to get some lines next to my eyes, hollows under my eyes, 11's were in need of... more
"Excellent Communication and..."
My NLF were getting pretty deep and I was very self-conscious about how aging they looked. Obviously this is an elective procedure, but I don't think it's shallow to want to improve your appearance. I feel great about the results and will keep returning to Dr. Krant for the upkeep. She asked and listened to me about what I wanted (restylane for my NLF) and then gave me her... more
"Great Experience For Facial Fillers..."
I did this because my face was looking hollow and I did not feel good about how I was aging. He technique was amazing. I look younger and more refreshed. more
"Excellent, Trustworthy Doctor - New York"
Sagging eyelids No pain, downtown a few days, great results more
"Highly Recommend Dr, K - New York, NY"
To look my best (for my age) and feel good about how I look. I have had Botox and Restylane between the eyes before and had the area touched up by Dr. K. But I was interested in a better look around the lips and chin, a difficult area to achieve a natural look. I had heard that filling the lip line, even just the outline, as in my case, not volume, was somewhat painful. Dr. K offered an... more
"Restylane/Perlane for Those Commas,..."
I am a 56 yr old woman and had very pronounced commas (or parenthesis)on the sides of my mouth. I am somewhat satisfied with the results (although I liked it better when it was still swollen). Would I do it again?... absolutely. I should of done it sooner. My doctor told me of a fat transplant procedure which is permanent and I plan on returning to the same plastic surgeon who performed my... more
"Chronic Under Eye "Swell Bags" Due..."
I am a 50 year old female and I had restylane injections done in my tear troughs two years ago. They looked good but had these unusual bumps or ridges in the malar area underneath. I had the filler reduced with an enzyme a week later but still had a bump on the left side. Then last April I had a blepharoplasty and while the surgery looks good, the ridges came back full force under both eyes... more
"Hollow Under Eyes Filled in - White..."
Had hollow under eyes filled in, look 100% better; wish I had done this sooner! No pain or black and blue mark bruises. As far as cons none. I've so much money on concealer/powder and always felt self conscious because it never looked natural. Can remaining Restylane be saved for later use if not all used in first visit? more
"Restylane in Forehead Looks "Worm-like""
Help! I had restylane injected into my forehead and it looks almost "worm-like" now. it bothers me so much and i really want to remove it.i heard you can inject Hyaluronidase to dissolve it, but how much does that cost and how many times do you have to do it in order for it to be fully dissovled? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!! im devastated! more
"Restylane Done Under Eyes Worth It!"
Had it done over a month ago under eyes. I'm 44 and I take after my father's side of the family with the extremely tired looking eyes. I called them my bags but hollows probably described as well. People asked me if I wasn't sleeping or if I was ill or had allergies all the time. Tried every home remedy for years (ice and green tea bags, allergy pills, creams including prep H. The... more
I can say that i am very happy with the results. I am 42 and even though i have good genes, i was sort of suffering ( or i felt like it ) from some fat loss just between my high cheek bones and nose sides. So i had a doctor inject with me with restylane. i will be taking photos each and every day to verify what i see to be true! I just love the results. I had my cheeks ( just the... more

Harold Medlock and Malik Aziz each offered compelling arguments for why they should be this city's top cop.
"We don't tolerate crime," said Aziz, 44, a deputy chief of the Dallas - yes, that would be Texas - Police Department.
And where you find "guns, gangs and drugs," he said, you'll find Malik Aziz.
Medlock said as much, and echoed the recent refrain of City Manager Ted Voorhees.
"We're not going to tolerate crime," said Medlock, 55, who is a deputy chief with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. "One crime is one crime too many, and one victim is one victim too many. And not acceptable."
Aziz and Medlock are finalists from a field of 131 applicants, according to Voorhees, who introduced both Tuesday at the Kiwanis Recreation Center and later at the Westover Recreation Center.
"The next thing I plan to do is take them to a bank robbery," Voorhees, 48, humorously told the noon audience, "and see how they handle it."
Voorhees later said he will decide before year's end, if not sooner, who will replace Tom Bergamine, the 58-year-old chief who closed out a nearly four-decade career amid a community-polarizing racial-profiling controversy that led to an equally controversial City Council-imposed moratorium on police consent searches.
The finalists were peppered with inquiries on everything from drinking while driving, property crimes and community interaction, particularly involving youth, and our political landscape.
"How are you going to cut through" the politics, Tim Dunn, a lawyer, wanted to know, and do the job you will be hired to do?
"I'm a cop," Medlock said.
"I'm like Harold," Aziz said.
Both said the issue of racial profiling is best dealt with through transparency and documentation.
Medlock is personable and engaging, with something of a sense of humor and some apparent local knowledge.
"I know the Fayetteville Police Department," he said, "and I know the city of Fayetteville. And I will be accountable to you."
Medlock has been married "to the same woman for 31 years," and he grew up the son of a Baptist minister.
He has spent the past two years as a security planner in his department in preparation for the recent Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
Aziz appears somewhat reserved and grew up the son of a truck-driver father and schoolteacher mother, and he is the father of two, including a 15-year-old daughter with her eye on attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
"It's a great opportunity," Aziz said about potentially becoming our next police chief. "It's a perfect fit. ... Your community will be my community."
Your turn, Mr. Voorhees, and while some may have a preference, crime doesn't care about your choice either way, because crime never sleeps.

Sharp, Erin Hiley; Coffman, Donna L; Caldwell, Linda L; Smith, Edward A; Wegner, Lisa; Vergnani, Tania; Mathews, Catherine (SAGE Publications, 2011)[more][less]
Abstract: Using seven waves of data, collected twice a year from the 8th through the 11th grades in a low-resource community in Cape Town, South Africa, we aimed to describe the developmental trends in three specific leisure experiences (leisure boredom, new leisure interests, and healthy leisure) and substance use (cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana) behaviors and to investigate the ways in which changes in leisure experiences predict changes in substance use behaviors over time. Results indicated that adolescents' substance use increased significantly across adolescence, but that leisure experiences remained fairly stable over time. We also found that adolescent leisure experiences predicted baseline substance use and that changes in leisure experiences predicted changes in substance use behaviors over time, with leisure boredom emerging as the most consistent and strongest predictor of alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use. Implications for interventions that target time use and leisure experiences are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/756 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: There has been very little research investigating leisure boredom and risk behaviour among adolescents in South Africa. Using a qualitative approach, this study investigated adolescents' perceptions of leisure boredom and risk behaviour during free time. The sample of participants comprised three groups of adolescent: a community group, a school group and a group who had dropped out of school. Participants documented their free time experiences by taking photographs that were later discussed in focus groups. The findings showed that the participants were bored in their free time mainly because they had nothing to do. The low socio-economic environment where they lived contributed to occupational deprivation and imbalance in their free time, maintaining or 'trapping' the adolescents within the situation and contributing to feelings of boredom. The participants spent much of their free time 'hanging out' on street corners or in backyards, which allowed them to socialise, but inevitably led to boredom. Participants felt that boredom was part of life, although some perceived it to be 'dangerous' because it often led to risky behaviour. In conclusion, the study showed that for the participants, leisure is an occupational concern due to the occupational deprivation and imbalance occurring within their free time. Occupational therapists should consider how leisure boredom influences adolescent health, wellbeing and development, and plan interventions accordingly.

Abstract: Background: HealthWise South Africa: Life Skills for Adolescents (HW) is an evidence- based substance use and sexual risk prevention program that emphasizes the positive use of leisure time. Since 2000, this program has evolved from pilot testing through an efficacy trial involving over 7,000 youth in the Cape Town area. Beginning in 2011, through 2015, we are undertaking a new study that expands HW to all schools in the Metro South Education District. Objective: This paper describes a research study designed in partnership with our South African collaborators that examines three factors hypothesized to affect the quality and fidelity of HW implementation: enhanced teacher training; teacher support, structure and supervision; and enhanced school environment. Methods: Teachers and students from 56 schools in the Cape Town area will participate in this study. Teacher observations are the primary means of collecting data on factors affecting implementation quality. These factors address the practical concerns of teachers and schools related to likelihood of use and cost-effectiveness, and are hypothesized to be "active ingredients" related to high-quality program implementation in real-world settings. An innovative factorial experimental design was chosen to enable estimation of the individual effect of each of the three factors. Results: Because this paper describes the conceptualization of our study, results are not yet available. Conclusions: The results of this study may have both substantive and methodological implications for advancing Type 2 translational research.

Abstract: As the push for evidence-based programming gathers momentum, many human services programs and interventions are under increased scrutiny to justify their effectiveness across different conditions and populations. Government agencies and the public want to be assured that their resources are being put to good use on programs that are effective and efficient. Thus, programs are increasingly based on theory and evaluated through randomized control trials using longitudinal data. Despite this progress, hypothesized outcomes are often not detected and/or their effect sizes are small. Moreover, findings may go against intuition or "gut feelings" on the part of project staff. Given the need to understand how program implementation issues relate to outcomes, this study focuses on whether process measures that focus on program implementation and fidelity can shed light on associated outcomes. In particular, we linked the process evaluation of the HealthWise motivation lesson with outcomes across four waves of data collection. We hypothesized that HealthWise would increase learners' intrinsic and identified forms of motivation, and decrease amotivation and extrinsic motivation. We did not hypothesize a direction of effects on introjected motivation due to its conceptual ambiguity. Data came from youth in four intervention schools (n = 902, 41.1%) and five control schools (n = 1291, 58.9%) who were participating in a multi-cohort, longitudinal study. The schools were in a township near Cape Town, South Africa. For each cohort, baseline data are collected on learners as they begin grade 8. We currently have four waves of data collected on the first cohort, which is the focus of this paper. The mean age of the sample at wave 3 was 15.0 years (SD = .86) and 51% of students were female. Results suggested that there was evidence of an overall program effect of the curriculum on amotivation regardless of fidelity of implementation. Compared to the control schools, all treatment school learners reported lower levels of amotivation in wave 4 compared to wave 3, as hypothesized. Using process evaluation data to monitor implementation fi147 delity, however, we also conclude that the school with better trained teachers who also reported higher levels of program fidelity had better outcomes than the other schools. We discuss the implications of linking process data with outcome data and the associated methodological challenges in linking these data. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/749 Files in this item: 1

"Paradise in the middel of nowhere"Anmeldt av en hotels.com-gjest den feb 26, 2013
Et fantastisk hotell og dertil bra service! Ikke alle prater like bra engelsk uten at dette er problematisk. Veldig bra frokost! Du kommer til å synes beliggenheten er meget bra eller meget dårlig. Hotellet ligger for seg selv i et rolig område. Beregn ca 15 min med taxi (NOK 100 tur/retur) dersom du ønsker å dra til phuket sentrum. Anbefales på det varmeste og jeg kommer gjerne tilbake!

"Stille og rolig hotell nærme stranda"Anmeldt av en hotels.com-gjest den feb 23, 2013
Veldig bra hotell som ga den lille hjelpen og servicen ekstra som gjorde oppholdet minneverdig. Stranda på den ene siden og gate på andre siden med flust av skreddere, restauranter og butikker. Også bare ca. 15min. til Patong for den som vil reise til en litt mer travel og bråkete by for blant annet shopping. Betjeningen var også blant annet veldig hjelpsomme for å finne turer rundt om kring, blant annet Phi Phi. Rommet ble rengjort etter eget ønske; trykker på en knapp ved utgangsdøra. Var ingenting å klage på der. Eneste minuset var litt dårlig engelsk blant noen ansatte, men det synes jeg at man må forvente. Alt ordnet seg uansett. Anbefales!

"June Staycation"
The resort is an great hideout for those who really want to rest and relax. Love the environment and facilities in the Grand Pool villa. The down side is that there are too many times of room servicing in a day (3 times per day) and the cleaning is not thorough. They mostly clean the upper storey very well but the cleanliness in the lower storey needs […] to be improved. They do not clean the pool unless you tell them to. Another downside to visit during the raining season, had many days of power supply failure during the stay. Although there are some backup lights but it's very miserable as the aircon and TV are not working especially you are staying in the villa for the whole day. There was even once the door bell wasn't working due to power supply failure, a housekeeper entered my room while I was sleeping which I felt very intrusive. And, the villas are very close to one another so some housekeepers will talk very loudly to each other outside the villa which can be quite annoying and disturbing. Due to many days of power supply failure, they compensated me with a basket of fruits and a free dinner on my last day of stay. Overall, I'm still very satisfied with the stay as it is away from the noisy city and the service is good. I really get to rejuvenate and recharge my energy in a quiet environment. Love the huge and comfy bed and the pool. The Wi-Fi is really fast and smooth and it's free! The spa is awesome but needs to improve on the gym room with more equipment.

"Lush luxury stay away from the crowds ..."
Villa Zolitude was the perfect getaway for us. We spent lazy days in our private pool reading and relaxing surrounded by beautiful lush green scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would most definitely recommend to anyone looking to get away from the beach-side madness in Phuket. You are limited to the resort food & beverage due to location, but […] we found it quite good and not too expensive. The spa was lovely, but a little on the expensive side, although while we were there they had a 40% off treatment deal which made it more reasonable. My husband did the thai cooking class which was a great experience and good value for money. We stayed right up the top of the hill in Villa 408, which we loved as it seemed more private than the others. Les merVerifisert Expedia-gjesteanmeldelse
"Very nice villa & hotel!"
Just returned from 7 nights in a grand pool villa. The hotel was a little too remote and secluded compared to what I was expecting as it took approx 20 mins + taxi ride to go to places of interest. However, the remoteness was equally a plus point as its up in the hills with wonderful green views. The villa itself was very spacious with a generous […] pool. I initially felt the villa didn't match my expectations as the marble style in the decking area gave a dirty look although was actually clean. The pool tiles also didn't give impression of high quality but were fine. Think I was being picky really. The pool is not temperature controlled so was a little on cold side which provided a fun daily challenge to ease ourselves into the pool! Breakfast was ok, expected more as the options weren't great but enough to mix things up each day. Room service food options were better. Staff were fantastic. They were very responsive and efficient. Some staff particularly stood out for politeness. One thing to point out... We were there at a time when there were hundreds if not thousands of Cicadas (type of locust). They didn't really bother us much as they stayed in trees and were actually hard to locate however they were super noisy throughout the day. Apparently they appear every 17 years so possibly not there for much longer! Overall a great hotel and would recommend to those not too fussed about being far from the beach or places of interest.

"Amazing Experience"
We stayed here for three nights and it certainly wasn't long enough. Although it's a bit of a trek to get there and around the property, it's well worth it for the seclusion, great service, and relaxation. We had a Deluxe Pool Villa which was nestled in the jungle and didn't have a view. Our only regret is we didn't upgrade to the Grand Pool Villas […] that have a view of the bay. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet every morning. The on-call cabs at the resort will take you anywhere. Chalong bay was close which has boats that go out to all of the islands. And we trained at Tiger Muay Thai every day which was just a mile south. The resort was so accommodating - of the five hotels we stayed at in Thailand this was our favorite. The only negatives were the massive amounts of mosquitoes, but the hotel provided some bug spray, and the fact that we ran out of hot water before we could fill up the jacuzzi tub. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting a more sophisticated vacation away from the hustle and bustle of trashy Patong Beach. Les merVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser

"Stunningand luxury villa"
Fabulous villa and excellent service. Worth every penny! Love the 3 sided open to above windows with great view! The villa has 2 storeys which IMO is too big for the 2 of us and our 9 month old. But would be perfect if the in law joined us. Didnt realize there were 2 separate washrooms in the villa. Room got cleaned twice a day! Can't really think […] of anything to complain about the service. Everyone was super friendly and professional. The only downside is its quite far from everything else. Closest beach is nai harn beach which cost 500thb to get there. Takes about 20 mins. Perfect place for a relax getaway! Les merVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser

"Peace and zolitude"
Loved this resort, and so glad I chose it after shopping around for the perfect place to stay. If you want peace, privacy and quiet this is the place. It's nestled in the hills and has amazing views. Each villa has a pool and private deck. I thought it was well worth the money. Each villa also has a kitchen like area in the sala with a fridge which […] is very convenient. The spa was wonderful, great ambiance. I can't wait to visit again. One thing though that people should know, there are lots of stairs but if u are into fitness andbthe outdoors, the climbing up an down is no problem, there are also wagons to pick you up.

This resort was absolutely fantastic! We could not have been happier and more impressed with the beauty of the resort and the quality of service we received. From the moment we arrived to the last minute we were there the staff did everything they could to make us feel welcome and help us with any request we had. We booked a deluxe pool villa and all […] I can say is wow. The bed was comfortable, everything in the room was luxurious, clean, and chic. The view was breathtaking. The breakfast included with the room was a wonderful buffet with anything you could think of offered. All of the other meals we had there we enjoyed immensely as well. The resort is "off the beaten path" and the only sounds you hear are coming from nature or the splash of your infinity pool. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and romantic, with impressive attention to detail, then this is your place. I would recommend it to anyone. Les merVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser

"A truly memorable expeience"
It's a brilliant hotel to visit and truly a memorable experience! Not very baby friendly though with lots of steps and potential hot spots. We really wished we had gone there before we had our baby! The hotel staff are extremely friendly and though they have just one restaurant, the food is very good... The location of the hotel is in line with the […] experience promised - a bit aloof / exclusive but difficult to find if you're self driving as we were. The local maps and people are not familiar with the hotel. The beaches are a bit of a drive with the Patong night market and beach taking a good half an hour to drive.

這次的旅遊分別在Deluxe 及 Grand都入住了一晚, 由於是慶祝生日, 所以特別安排了酒店的BBQ 及 Candle Night Dinner, 豈料最後食物變得食之無味, 棄之可惜, 因為在Deluxe的 BBQ那晚整個過程有數不盡的蒼蠅,蝴蝶等的小昆蟲, 但在中程更閃出山貓一隻, 果真驚嚇。而另一晚是生日的正日, 安排了Candle Night Dinner, 結果, 才在吃餐前的麵包時, 就見到燈光有巨大的倒影, 一看之下原來有光計身驅不計腳就有比頭還大的蜘蛛, 馬上回房間叫人來處理, 當然服務員也是有求必應的來打發牠走, 及把我們的食物餐桌椅都移回房間內, 但在移動的過程其實也引了好幾隻的蝴蝶蜜蜂進房間內, 我們隨後又要驅趕一番, 定下來的時間菜全都涼了, 牛扒硬了, 還有看過那隻毛蜘蛛後, […] 根本不會再有胃口吃什麼。另外, 去出發之前的一個月就已經請酒店安排生日蛋糕, 殊不知來的是10元4個的mini紙包蛋糕仔, 有點太失望, 要是這樣我自己去買還比較好。 另外值得讚許的是酒店的服務員都很親切, 效率也很高。酒店的餐廳只有一家, 但性價不錯, 早餐也好吃。但真的如果你是害怕昆蟲和冷清的人就真的要三思, 因為附近真的沒有別的聲音, 除了蟲叫, 人氣比較弱, 因為在深山附近也沒有什好玩好去的地方。但他們的環境真的不建議做Dinning in Villa的服務。不過房間本身是很好很舒服的。 Les merVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser

Yesterday I asked your opinion on what the fitness topic of the day should be and I got an overwhelming response for "running" (those of you who wanted strengthening exercises don't worry, next week we'll be back to building muscle). I want to talk for a minute about how I got into running. I literally started running to impress the husband. We had just met and were spending time together, I knew he ran a lot so I suggested we get together to run in order to spend more time with him. When he agreed I went out to my local Nordstrom Rack and bought a puma tracksuit, and puma shoes that were cute. If he didn't know that I was a poser when he saw my outfit and non-running shoes, he most certainly figured it out when we were .02 miles into our run and I couldn't breath and almost passed out. So, my relationship with running started out more than "rocky". Fast forward almost three years later and I can run without dry heaving which is a small miracle. Coupled with my doctor husband's tips (he is a DPT in case any of you are new here-- which is a doctor of physical therapy) I am going to note his comments in purple italics so when you see that, he is talking! I am going to try and help you a)begin running b)improve your running c) or simply not throw up when you run further than the length of a driveway.
The Basics: GEAR
Last year I wrote about how important it is to find the correct shoe to run in. Not all feet are the same and thus, not all running shoes are created equally. If you have any hope of being a successful runner you are going to need the right shoe--just like a chef needs a quality set of knives or a competitive swimmer needs spandex. The last thing you need it to injure yourself because you don't have the right amount of support. Unfortunately, when I began running I chose shoes based on which colors I liked and which were the "cutest". I also made the mistake of not doing my research and trusting the sales associate at the local Foot Locker. My first tip is to find a specialty running shoe store. Most runners choose to run in Brooks, Asics, Mizuno or New Balance. You might find some people who prefer Nike or Adidas but honestly, these brands are more focused on trendy sneakers or what I like to call "kicks". The brand is not so important as the fit. You should be choosing shoes based on your gait. At most specialty shoe stores, employees are trained to access gait either by watching you walk barefoot or watching you run on a treadmill in the store.There are three categories and everyone falls into one of them. (*Note: You should replace your shoes every (roughly) 500 miles. The reason? Support breaks down and materials degrade and you need to maintain the correct support. To extend the "life" of your running shoe do NOT wash it in the washing machine! Try not to get them wet at all and my no means put them in the dryer! If your shoes get wet place them in the sun to dry. And also unlace your shoe and take them off properly, do not push them off your heel as this will break down the support faster!)
Understanding Pronation
Pronation is the inward rolling of your ankle when you are walking or running. A "neutral" foot absorbs the impact of a landing evenly from the heel to the ball of the foot. This is what everyone ideally wants to happen, and if your foot isn't naturally like this you either supinate or overpronate, which can be fixed with corrective footwear!

supination, via |
overpronation, via |
The Basics: Starting Out
I am not kidding you when I said that I felt like puking when I started running, and that meant running to and from the mailbox. If you have never ran before you are going to have to start slow. Like really, really, r e a l l y slow. Once I realized that it took letting my body adjust and get strong I found Hal Higdon's Couch to 5K program. (A similar one that other people really like is Jeff Galloway's which you can find here). You should always, always, always stretch before you do any workout! I wrote about stretching during week four of this series, and I hope you read it because it is so important! Another key aspect to a successful run is breathing. So many times I would forget to breath and make myself dizzy! Big breaths in and out!
Assuming you are all stretched, warmed up, in the correct shoes and hydrated, you are ready to go...so now what?
Good Form Running
Last year I had the opportunity to attend a Good Form Running clinic put on my a local athletic/running store in town. They filmed us running in our running shoes, and then filmed us running with bare feet. In every case, running barefoot automatically corrected bad running form because the body's natural instinct is to protect itself from injury. When you choose the correct shoe, hopefully it will help you get one step closer to running "correctly" (yes there is a correct WAY to run!) but there are also some other things you should keep in mind to get the most out of your running wether you are running track, training for a marathon, or just running to stay in tip-top shape. Take a look at the chart below and then I will discuss them below.
The Basics: Strength Training
You might be surprised by this, but strength training is key to being a successful runner. If you have weak muscles you are going to struggle when you run, you might hurt yourself if you over-do it and you will psych yourself out. Add lunges, calf raises and cross training like cycling or the elliptical to your workout routine!
The Basics: Let Go of Stereotypes
One thing I have had to get over are the stereotypes that you couldn't be a real runner if you had to stop and take walking breaks. I still to this day take walking breaks if I feel like I need them. Taking short 10-15 second walking breaks to catch my breath increases the distance I am able to run by 50-100%. My heart rate stays pretty elevated, even when I slow down for a short time so my body is still working hard. Letting go of stereotypes that you have to be able to run x amount of distance in x amount of time is so important because everyone is different and some people are just naturally inclined to be "better" at running. Just like some of us are naturally artistic or musically inclined. It's just the way it is, but it doesn't mean anyone and everyone cannot do it!
I hope you got something out of this terribly long post on running--- these are just my thoughts for beginners, if anyone has further questions please feel free to e-mail me! Last thoughts? Running takes time, it takes building muscle, conditioning and endurance. Do what you can and forget the rest! If you feel sick, power walk for a minute or two and then try and jog again. Increase your distance by .01 miles at a time. Stretch and cross train. You will be running before you know it!
* no nutrition or recipe this week since this post was already so long!

CARMEL, Calif., Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- By loading sickle red blood cells with cancer fighting drugs and programming them to burst open in tumors, scientists have found a novel way to deliver large amounts of chemotherapy into oxygen-starved tumors that have proven difficult to treat in humans. The research featured on the cover of the October issue of the Journal of Controlled Release builds on a breakthrough cancer treatment chosen by Wikipedia as a scientific event of 2013. The new method exploits the unique tendency of jagged, crescent-shaped sickle cells to target and stick to the walls of tumor blood vessels. When programmed with photo-radiation, the drug-loaded sickle cells burst open in the tumor and deliver fourfold more drug to breast cancers in mice than similarly-treated normal red blood cells and free drug. This method can be used to deliver numerous chemotherapeutic agents to a broad spectrum of human tumors. The research is reported by Dr. David S. Terman of Jenomic Research Institute, Carmel California and colleagues at the University of Florida
In the study, the sickle cell were loaded with drugs and precisely programmed to burst open 15 hours after injection when the vast majority of the sickle cells had accumulated in the tumors. At this critical time point, the ruptured sickle cells spilled their drug cargo on the tumor cells achieving drug levels in tumors that far exceeded those of free drug and similarly treated normal red blood cells. The treatment can be used in all humans not just those with sickle cell anemia since the sickle cells can be obtained from sickle cell precursor cells grown in the laboratory. In the accompanying cover story, journal editor Kwon Park praised sickle cells as novel, innovative and potentially more flexible than nanoparticles for delivering cancer-fighting drugs to oxygen-deprived tumors hard to treat in humans.

Though Hmong eagerly accept new ideas, villages as isolated as Teu La preserve the old culture intact. Houses share a suburbia-like sameness: all built on the ground with a dirt floor and no windows. Inside: a stove and an open fire pit, family bedrooms along one wall, the guest bed—a bamboo platform—at the end of the living area.
In Teu La 20 such houses hunch just below the ridgeline. No ceremonial or public building or even a shop punctuates the uniformity. Markets? The nearest is several days' walk away.
Chong Houa, 33-year-old headman of Ban San Phu, has explained the rationale of the traditional village layout: "We must build every house so you can see a distant mountain from either the front or back door. It is our rule.
"Before building, we dig a hole a few inches in diameter. In it we place as many grains of rice as there are people in the family. If the spirits move the grains during the night, another site must be found."
Presumably a neighbor wouldn't dare jostle the grains to preserve his view. Hmong women don't like to be photographed in their work clothes. When one of the young men in Teu La asked me if I would photograph his sister the next morning dressed in her good clothes, I agreed.
All night a monsoon rain attacked Teu La. Clouds still wreathed the village the next morning, but outside our door the muddy hillside shimmered. Dozens of self-conscious mothers and young girls stood waiting to have their pictures taken. The boy must have been brother to every woman in town. Many wore colorful sashes and blouses with delicately embroidered collars. A few had massive silver necklaces.
Moments after birth every baby receives a simple necklace to warn the spirits that he's not a slave and belongs to a family. The women's silver necklaces reflect family wealth. The more prosperous wives have five-bar models—made from five of the heavy silver bars called "Meo money," used in the opium trade. Some of them are available for sale, but the price varies. So be prepared for using extra cash. John, with his camera, helped me fulfill my promise. Father B would see that prints reached the village. The farewells had a come-again warmth.

European Painting before 1900, Johnson Collection The Birth of Venus Made in Italy, Europe1635 or 1636 Nicolas Poussin, French, 1594 - 1665 Oil on canvas * Gallery 276, European Art 1500-1850, second floor E1932-1-1 The George W. Elkins Collection, 1932 |
LabelThe subject of this grand mythological painting remains a topic of lively debate: some see the birth of Venus, some see her triumphal parade, and others see the sea god Neptune's marine procession. There is even disagreement as to whether Venus is depicted at all. The woman in the center might instead be Galatea, a sea nymph who is often shown riding in a cockleshell chariot drawn by dolphins. As reflected here, Poussin exercised great skill in introducing multiple meanings and rich ambiguity into his paintings of classical themes. This painting used to belong to Catherine the Great and still bears a Russian inscription on the frame and a Hermitage Museum inventory number on the lower left corner of the canvas. It was sold by the Soviet government in 1930.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |

By Michael Hill The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. - A cadet quitting West Point less than six months before graduation says he could no longer be part of a culture that promotes prayers and religious activities and disrespects nonreligious cadets.
Blake Page announced his decision to quit the U.S. Military Academy this week in an online post that echoed the sentiments of soldiers and airmen at other military installations. The 24-year-old told The Associated Press that a determination this semester that he could not become an officer because of clinical depression played a role in his public protest against what he calls the unconstitutional prevalence of religion in the military.
"I've been trying since I found that out: What can I do? What can I possibly do to initiate the change that I want to see and so many other people want to see?" Page said. "I realized that this is one way I can make that change happen."
Page criticized a culture where cadets stand silently for prayers, where nonreligious cadets were jokingly called "heathens" by instructors at basic training and where one officer told him he'd never be a leader until he filled the hole in his heart.
In announcing his resignation this week on The Huffington Post, he denounced "criminals" in the military who violate the oaths they swore to defend the Constitution.
"I don't want to be a part of West Point knowing that the leadership here is OK with just shrugging off and shirking off respect and good order and discipline and obeying the law and defending the Constitution and doing their job," he told the AP.
West Point officials on Wednesday disputed those assertions. Spokeswoman Theresa Brinkerhoff said prayer is voluntary at events where invocations and benedictions are conducted and noted the academy has a Secular Student Alliance club, where Page served as president.
Maj. Nicholas Utzig, the faculty adviser to the secular club, said he doesn't doubt some of the moments Page described, but he doesn't believe there is systematic discrimination against nonreligious cadets.
"I think it represents his own personal experience, and perhaps it might not be as universal as he suggests," said Utzig, who teaches English literature.
One of Page's secularist classmates went further, calling his characterization of West Point unfair.
"I think it's true that the majority of West Point cadets are of a very conservative, Christian orientation," said senior cadet Andrew Houchin. "I don't think that's unique to West Point. But more broadly, I've never had that even be a problem with those of us who are secular."
There have been complaints over the years that the wall between church and state is not always observed in the military. The Air Force Academy in Colorado in particular has been scrutinized for years over allegations from non-Christian students that they faced intolerance. A retired four-star general was asked last year to conduct an independent review of the overall religious climate at the academy.
There also has been a growing willingness in recent years by some service members to publicly identify themselves as atheists, agnostics or humanists and to seek the same recognition granted to Christians, Jews and other believers. Earlier this year, there was an event on Fort Bragg that was the first known event in U.S. military history to cater to nonbelievers.
Page said he hears about the plight of other nonreligious cadets in part through his involvement with the West Point affiliate of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. The founder and president of that advocacy group said Page's action is a milestone in the fight against "fanatical religiosity" in the military.
"This is an extraordinary act of courage that I do compare directly to what Rosa Parks did," said Mikey Weinstein.
Page, who is from Stockbridge, Ga., and who was accepted into West Point after serving in the Army, said he was notified Tuesday of his honorable discharge. He faces no military commitment and will not have to reimburse the cost of his education.
