NEW YORK (MainStreet) Real assets have been in real trouble lately. Commodities prices, particularly popular precious metals, have been sinking fast. Counter to common expectations, "safe havens" such as gold have been particularly disappointing. Precious metals weren't so precious in September, falling 5.63%.
"Markets were choppy during the summer amid speculation that the Federal Reserve would begin the process of slowly tightening its monetary policies," says Christopher Burton, senior portfolio manager for the Credit Suisse Total Commodity Return Strategy. "Removal of this risk in the near term may be accommodative of risk appetite and further aid the economic recovery. It may also increase already heightened risks of inflation eventually overshooting expectations. Commodities have been increasingly driven by commodity specific factors, helping to lead to reduced correlations. We continue to expect commodities to provide valuable diversification benefits amid heightened periods of uncertainty."
The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return lost 2.55% in September as 12 out of 22 index components posted negative returns:
- Energy declined 4.31%, with every segment of the sector lower. Natural gas prices fell as analysts say mild weather resulted in weaker-than-expected demand. Libya's crude oil production recovered to nearly 40% of its prewar capacity, while fading worries over tensions in Syria and Iran helped ease risks to crude oil supplies from the Middle East, lowering oil prices.
- Agriculture decreased 1.94%. Corn, soybeans and soybean products declined amid favorable crop weather as the growing season transitioned to harvest. Livestock was the best performing sector, up 1.70%.
- Industrial Metals increased 1.57%. The Federal Reserve's surprise decision to leave its bond-buying program intact gave support to base metal prices. Chinese industrial profits were reported to be up sharply for August compared with the prior month and year, which boosted demand expectations.
With the commodities index basically flat for the year to date and gold heading for its first annual loss in 13 years, should investors still consider commodities as a sweetener to their portfolio performance? Nicholas J. Johnson and Greg E. Sharenow, portfolio managers for Pimco, believe so. They say that the future of commodity returns doesn't look that much different than the past.
"From the late 1990s until the 2008 financial crisis, most commodities experienced double-digit annual real (i.e., inflation-adjusted) price growth, a period known as the commodity 'supercycle,'" Johnson and Sharenow wrote in a recent analysis. "While we agree that commodity price appreciation won't likely mirror the supercycle, we do not believe this should necessarily imply a negative view on commodity returns going forward. Overall, while the supercycle may be dead, the outlook for commodity returns today seems broadly consistent with historical returns, and commodities remain an important tool for hedging inflation risk."

Dr. Dennis Gross Customer Reviews
Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic Acid Plus Retinol Brightening Solution - I'm 37 with very oily, acne, hyper pigmentation skin. Used so many products never got much results. This product has cleared my acne & really brightened my skin. I will never stop using this.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hydra-Pure Firming Eye Cream – I had been using this for quite a while before I had switched to another product trying to save a buck. NEVER again! This product is truly the best I've used so far (and there have been many). My eyelids aren't puffy anymore and my eyes just seem lifted alleviating that droopy eyelid look. Best product ever!!!
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad - I tend to protect my face from the sun more than my body, so my face is always a few shades lighter than my body and it's always bothered me. These tiny towelettes give great, lasting color without a strong self-tanner smell. My skin likes them, no breakouts. I also love his EZ4U face wipes for when I don't care to have any extra color :)
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hydra-Pure Firming Serum - I really like the combo of the two pads supplied in the jar and think that it does what it says it will do for your skin. I am fair and nearly 60 years old and love how clean I feel after a scrub and then the pads are used. Follow it with the serum for maximum results and be sure to wear sun screen as you have exposed your skin surface more now that it has been treated. This system works and works well for daily or every other day use. You can control how long you leave on phase one. Play with that for your personal result.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare All in One Cleansing Foam - I have tried many facial cleansers and this one is the very best if you have sensitive, combination, acne prone skin. The foam is much better than gel or cream cleansers and the ingredients will clear up your skin without drying it out. I am really looking forward to trying other MD Skincare products after using this cleanser!
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad - I got this as a sample with another order, decided to try it ,thinking it would just be like all the others. Well was I WRONG...I cut the application in half so therefore I get two out of each pack. It looks so natural and I forget I put it on until I slowly notice a color to my face like a natural tan ...awesome product would HIGHLY recommend.:)

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Last month's flash flood near the Waldo Canyon burn area damaged some pipelines linked to the Colorado Springs water system, and now crews with Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) are working to protect the pipes from further damage.
The Waldo Canyon Fire destroyed vegetation in a roughly 18,000-acre area in western El Paso County in late June and early July, including areas near the Northfield Water System in northwest Colorado Springs. The fire left a wide open area for erosion and flooding, and the city was hit with a huge rainstorm July 30, which caused the flood and the damage to Northfield.
"These rains coupled with the fire have really caused us some incredible challenges," Andy Funchess, CSU Field Operations Manager for Water System Operations, said.
CSU officials said a wall of water and debris traveled at about 800 cubic feet per second during the flood.
"All that velocity, all that water, all that debris is coming down here," Funchess said.
The Stanley Canyon Tunnel, which is the primary delivery system of water from Rampart Reservoir to the Pine Valley and McCullough treatment plants, was not damaged, but the Pine Valley Pipeline, which serves as the Stanley Canyon Tunnel's backup option, was impacted.
Two creek crossings were destroyed, which compromised structures, and parts of the access road were washed away. As a result, some parts of the pipeline are now exposed and undermined.
"Just recently we went over the (Pine Valley) pipeline, rebuilt major portions of the Pine Valley Pipeline to put that back in service to really use it as a reliable source, a secondary source supply, in the event that something happened to the Stanley Canyon Tunnel," Funchess said.
The Stanley Canyon Tunnel, which now has no healthy backup pipeline, serves 75-80 percent of the city's water supply.
"The Stanley Canyon Tunnel, which is the primary source which is under the ground, is in fine shape, fine condition. Our water system is still strong, we just want to put those secondary sources back together so that we have a back up plan," Funchess said.
Officials said they are working with outside agencies to repair the pipes as soon as possible because more storms in the area are expected. But repairs are anticipated to take a long time.
"It's going to be months if not years before we actually get this pipeline in working condition again," Funchess said.
Repairs are expected to cost more than $1 million.
"We don't have contingent budgets for what ifs? We just don't set aside money like that so I don't have any current budget. I can tell you that a lot of the projects we have in place will be deferred," Funchess said.

Did you know that the bacteria found in pet waste poses health risks to you and the community? I never really thought about it, but the stuff that comes out of your adorable dog isn't quite as cute, and it can even contaminate the water supply. Hopefully you are one of the responsible pet owners that picks up after your dog. I know I am. My husband even cleans up our own yard regularly.
With Bags on Board, you can be both a responsible and fashionable pet owner. Bags on Board are refillable dispensers that attach to any leash. The dispensers contain leak proof bags that allow you to quickly and safely dispose of your dog's waste.
Picking up poop has never looked so good! The Bags on Board refillable dispensers come in a variety of sizes and colors.
You can even design your own dispenser! I was sent one of the Design Your Own Dispenser kits for review.
The kit came with a dispenser, 15 bags and 2 printable "skins".
It was so easy to create our dispenser! The website is very user friendly. You first choose a background image. We decided to upload my blog background as a picture and use that instead. Then you can upload pictures to add to your dispenser. Of course I wanted my sweet Chloe's face on mine.
You can also add clip art and text. We tried some sunglasses on Chloe but decided we wanted to see her eyes, and we added her name. Check out our finished product!
I will say that the printing wasn't all that easy. We had a hard time getting it lined up. The problem could have been with our printer, though, because we had to pretty much stick our hand way up into it just to put the skin in. We never did get it perfect, but you can't tell. They send you a regular piece of paper to use to practice, and if you have a copier, I would suggest making multiple copies so you can keep practicing if it doesn't line up perfectly the first time.
We applied the skin to the dispenser, and attached it to Chloe's leash. I love it! Now when we take Chloe for a walk, we have our poop bags right there on the leash.
We had a lot of fun creating our dispenser and I highly recommend this product!
Bags on Board also makes retractable leashes, which we also received. The leash comes with a built in dispenser, and two extra rolls of bags.
Unfortunately the small leashes that we received are for dogs up to 45 pounds, so we couldn't try it out with Chloe. However, my mom has two small dogs that she walks all the time, so she was excited to try out the leashes for me.
She really likes the leashes and will probably never go back to a regular leash again! This gives her dogs a little more freedom, and she can easily stop them from going too far with just a push of a button. She has her clean up bags attached to the leashes, so they will always be available when she needs one.
Bags on Board can be purchased at major pet supply stores such as PetSmart and Petco, and online at Amazon.com.
Mandatory entry: (This must be done in order for any optional entries to count) Visit Bags on Board and tell me which other dispenser you would like to own.

Training & Racing: The Shoot
Photography by Ben Ingham
By all accounts, Rapha's Training and Racing photoshoot in Norway earlier this year was one of our most intrepid yet. The isolated location of the island of Måløy and its harsh conditions defined the shoot and made it a very memorable experience, producing some incredible photography. We caught up with the riders on the trip to ask them about their exploits and the products that helped them discover a beautifully stark place.
See the new collection, shot in Norway »
Tom Southam, writer and ex-pro racer.
Can you describe the location?
Isolated, ancient, frigid, frozen, dark, deep, chilling and it really messed with your depth perception.
Describe the conditions you were riding in.
Apocalyptic at times, they were really bad, some of the worst that I've ridden in. Honestly, I wouldn't normally bother riding in that sh*t. Heavy snowfall at times, always some sort of precipitation, and a harsh cold that went straight through you. Even the locals thought that going outside was a stupid idea. It felt more like standing on the deck of a fishing boat out in the North Sea than riding a bike.
Which products did you find were best in these conditions/ most impressive?
Gloves, the lined mid-weight ones and the Pro Team Race Cape as I like to stay dry. I normally really struggle with cold fingers, I have Reynaud's syndrome, meaning that I go through agony if my fingers get cold. Although they did get a chill, once we'd been riding for a bit they warmed back up. That is a great quality in my eyes. All of the Deep Winter stuff worked well.
Which is your favourite product to wear off the bike?
Transfer Jacket. It's pretty cool that piece, I go everywhere in it.
Apart from good quality kit, what helps you to motivate yourself during the winter?
The idea that if I want to enjoy riding my bike on a nice day, I have to go out on the shit days to prepare for it. Plus the need to feel some sort of weather on my face and not just be staring at a computer screen. You know that bit in the Doors film, when Jim Morrison hops up on the car and starts yelling, 'How many of you people know you're alive? How many of you people really know you're alive?'. Well, I figure if you go cycling in the rain then you do really know you're alive at least, and not dead yet. So that.
What stands out in your mind as a memorable moment on the trip?
The first day, when we made the bikes up in the old guys' fishing shed. The local boys came and sat there in their shed, totally bemused by us while the rain hammered it down on the deck outside. These guys were dressed head to toe in full-on fishing overalls, and they looked older than anyone should ever be; weathered and bent into funny shapes. After we finished building the bikes and set off to go cycling, one of their wives came running out of a house with a piece of paper with a phone number, saying, 'If you really have to go cycling in this weather, take my phone number in case you get into difficulty.' They thought we were mad, which, of course, we were.
Can you sum up this experience in one word?
Almost… 'Post-apocalyptic.'
Lesley Sharpe, fine art printer and former track racer.
How did you find the experience in Norway?
I'm not a pro, or an ex pro which most of the other guys seemed to be, so I had a challenge on my hands but was determined not to give up, push myself as hard as I could and learn as much as possible. Turning myself inside out became part of the daily routine, which by the end of the shoot became addictive. I was also expecting some Norse hymns and burning churches but think we were just a fraction too far south for such rituals.
Can you describe the location.
Growing up on the west coast of Scotland and having cycled around the inner and outer Hebrides and ferry hopping from island to island, the northern Norwegian landscape seemed familiar yet uncanny. The few roads that twisted and winded around the fjords towards Måløy, where we were based, were reminiscent of the Golden road and lunar landscapes of Harris and on our journey towards the lighthouse we passed through scattered villages with grass roofed dwellings, painted red and yellow, and small fishermens huts on islets that seemed to float on frozen lakes.
Describe the conditions.
Rain, hail, sleet, snow and wind, basically everything but sunshine with temperatures a couple of degrees above and below zero.
Which products did you find worked best in these conditions?
Deep Winter Tights, bibs and soft shell rain jacket would be my favourite combo. You don't even notice wearing them. Chamois Cream and Embrocation saved my life (just don't shave your legs before applying the embrocation cream. It hurts).
What helps you to motivate yourself during the winter?
I can't help recount the The Third Policeman by Flann O' Brien whenever I describe to someone what it feels like when riding my bike, when one of the characters explains what happens to people who spend most of their lives riding bicycles, their personalities get mixed up with the personalities of the bike as a result of interchanging of the atoms of each of them. Like mastering a craft, your tools disappear and the act of doing becomes second nature. To experience that is a motive in itself.
What kinds of food did you eat?
We had fish soup cooked for us by the lady who owned Ulvesund Fyr, the lighthouse, on the first night and then cooked for each other every day until leaving. Dom would wake early and cook us breakfast as we were the first to ride. We'd return and prepare dinner for the boys… We ate lots; scrambled eggs and salmon on pumpernickel bread, oat pancakes, bacon wrapped honey roast chicken, spaghetti bolognese, baked salmon with roast tomatoes, apple tart, stewed pear and bread and butter pudding, home-made elderflower and red berry water, sweet cheese, chocolate shakes, New York cheesecake and lots of fish. And I couldn't stop munching 'non-stops' (fruit flavoured M&M's) after a ride.
What stands out in your mind as a memorable moment on the trip?
Refusing to hold on to the car whilst descending in the pouring rain cause I was having too much fun. Riding past the most beautiful white sandy beach towards Vagsoy. The fish huts and crashing waves at Krakenes Fyr. The light. Learning how to ride better, and faster. Meeting some great folk and cooking for everyone. Having the luxury to ride everyday. Seeing the frozen lakes for the first time. The climbs and descents. Cups of hand ground coffee before a ride.
Can you sum up this experience?
Some would call it purgatory. I would call it sublime.
Dominique Gabellini, vétéran coureur et bon viveur.
Can you describe the location.
Unusual, rustic, convivial, cosy, warm. A complete contradiction with the unfavourable weather conditions.
Describe the conditions you were riding in.
Hostile, adverse, harsh, unwelcoming, aggressive, inhuman, inhospitable.
Which products did you find most impressive?
Deep Winter Gloves. Exceptional performance in the unfriendly weather.
Which is your favourite product to wear off the bike?
Fantastic well cut fitted green trousers (Touring Trousers) - can I keep them?
What helps you to motivate yourself during the winter?
Training for racing. Summer fitness depends on winter miles.
What stands out in your mind as a memorable moment on the trip?
Bottom lip and eyeballs frozen, we took a welcome stop to a restaurant where the host allowed us to have a shower and served a fish soup.
Can you sum up this experience in one word?
Kirsti Ruud, amateur racer.
Can you describe the location.
The place is a lot like what I'm used to (being a Norwegian) but at the same time nothing like what I've seen before. The lighthouse was a really nice spot, right by the water and off a narrow winding road that takes you around the lake. Perfect for cycling.
Which products did you find were best in these conditions?
The lobster gloves (Overmitts), the yellow Rain Jacket and the Merino Base Layers for sure – they're the best pieces of clothing I've ever owned. I always use them under my clothing in the winter time, cross country skiing in Norway.
Which is your favourite product to wear off the bike?
I liked the blue Transfer Gilet, and the Old Gold Hooded Top. The black City trousers the guys were wearing were also cool.
What helps you to motivate yourself during the winter?
I don't ride as often in winter-time. I usually go cross-country skiing, but if I do ride I usually have friends that tag along. That helps a lot. If not I usually think of the feeling I get after a ride, a warm shower and the couch.
What stands out in your mind on the trip?
Coooold! The ride back from Knutholmen, after a lovely fish soup lunch. The great dinners at the lighthouse with Dom's French accent buzzing in the background. Can we do it again?
Michelle Blaydon, brand consultant and ex-pro racer.
Can you describe the location.
Breathtaking. Remote and interesting. I had no idea Norway was so beautiful. The weather was bad but because it was so beautiful it was motivating (if that makes sense).
Which products did you find most impressive?
I had a few products that once I wore them once I kept them on every ride as I was scared not to have them in case I got cold: Deep Winter Gloves, they really are the best gloves I have ever had for cycling. My hands didn't feel the cold once (not even at the end of a four hour wet and snowy ride). Deep Winter Tights, they kept me warm the whole ride. I was also surprised at how warm the Merino Leg Warmers are. I was scared that I was only given shorts and these leg warmers to wear but my legs were fine - in dry conditions I would be happy to wear these and know I would be warm enough. The Rain Jacket: it keeps out the worst conditions so you are always warm and dry on the inside. I love it. And the Merino beanie: a super-small and light thin layer but essential at keeping your head dry and warm under your helmet.
Which is your favourite product to wear off the bike?
The Merino Hooded Top (Old Gold) - love, love, love. Oh and theTransfer Jacket - warm!
What helps you motivate yourself during the winter?
If I am cold I am going home, warm kit means I will stay out and enjoy myself on the bike. The winter is a special season on the bike - it is fun to be out in challenging conditions but you can only do this if your kit is going to look after you and keep you warm. Rapha kit looked after me on this trip - I loved every ride.
What stands out in your mind as a memorable moment on the trip?
I loved getting ready to get out and just explore. We did this one coastal ride that I will never forget - it goes down as the most beautiful and best ride I have ever done.
Can you sum up this experience in one word?

that's fantastic. that's what we all cling to…the beauty of our sport without regard for whether andy schleck will succeed again or whether chris froome is dodgy or not. the more i ride the more i care about seeing things like your norway shoot, and the less i care about whether anyone likes wiggins or not.

We have come to a decision. Since Apex posted his warning on March 11th in the Political Forum, we noticed that things were a bit calmer for awhile. But it has started back up again. There is a constant feeling of walking on eggshells for fear that someone will blast you with a cutting comment. Instead of staying calm and on the topic, a good majority of threads are sliding off into personal attacks that have no business in the forum. We have had enough. Here's what is going to happen. Personal attacks are defined as any of the following:
1) Name calling, such as dumbass or idiot, just because someone has an opinion that is different than yours. You can think an idea is stupid and say, "I think that idea is stupid because..." and then go on and explain WHY. But, if you resort to saying, "You are so stupid for thinking that", there will be consequences.
2) Hurling insults about the person, person's family, life, etc. There is absolutely no need to drag that stuff into the forums, let alone disagreements.
3) Regarding the problems in the Political Forum: Doing nothing but blaming things on conservatives and/or liberals does nothing to further the topic being discussed, and in fact often leads to the kinds of problems we're now having to resolve. If that's all you have to say on a topic, consider staying silent.
4) Any other attacks on a person or their opinion simply because they disagree with you. These are up to GAM. Don't do 1 & 2 and you should be ok.
5) As well as the personal attacks, we have had enough of the flame baiting. Do not try and PROVOKE a reaction from others with comments that are close to the edge of the rules. In return, do not respond to the flame baiting. If you participate in either side of this, expect the consequences.
If someone breaks these rules, here are the reprecussions:
1) For the 1st offense, you will be given an automatic 24 hour timeout.
2) For the 2nd offense, you will be given a 3-day timeout.
3) The 3rd offense, you will be given a 1 week timeout.
4) If you continue to break these rules after the repeated warnings and timeouts, you will be given a permanent ban and will not be welcome back on the forums.
We truly do not want to have to ban anyone, but it has come to the point that something more has got to be done. The forums have become an unpleasant place for many people to hang out on and we can't have it that way anymore. This is not directed at any specific person(s). It is intended for EVERYONE. We want everyone to feel free to come and enjoy their time here so please, have fun!
*UPDATE June 4, 2006*
GotApex Forums appreciates thoughtful, *participatory* discussion of various topics. Keeping in mind that this is not a news site, 'link only' posts and threads with no original content will not be allowed.

Ryan is also the founder of his own record label/music production company called "Rubbah Slippah Productions."

In 2007, Ryan released the highly acclaimed "RSP CREW (Vol. 1)" compilation album. The album featured a select group of local singers from the Big Island.

In 2008, Ryan looked to widen the genre of island music with the release of his follow up solo album called "Hawaii & Beyond." The effort was proven a success after Ryan was nominated for a "Na Hokuhanohano" award in the R&B album of the year category.

Aia I Hi'ialo
In a culture that honors the legacies of the past, this Hawaiian trio of talented musicians pays homage to their roots while creating a unique and progressive sound that leaves their mark in contemporary Hawaiian music.
This worldview is the essence of Hiikua's music, which is either composed or performed by Kalehua Krug, Kamuela Kimokeo and Blake Leoki-Haili. The group's name derives from the Hawaiian word that literally means "to carry on one's back." Hi`ikua accepts this responsibility and intends with each song to achieve that goal: to speak of their history in words and music; to enjoy each moment of that expression, and in sharing this with you, to hope that their message will find its way into the future.
The music on Aia I Hi`ialo reflects the fond memories of Hi`ikua's parents and grandparents, the things that they taught, and the messages that they shared. These memories are often the source of inspiration for mele that are written to help remember important life lessons. Learn More
Dance is universal. Regardless of what language or culture you call your own, if you witness hula, you always identify it with Hawai'i. This small speck of land, in the biggest ocean on Earth, connects Hawai'i with the world and often that connection is through hula. We are not confined to dance hula with just our feet. What brings hula to life is that the hands as well as the music, tell the story of the people of Hawai'i. The music resonates from our hearts and souls and comes to life with hula.

SALE: Global Citizen
Regular Price: $15.98
Special Price: $2.00
Lucien Kouassi was born in the Ivory Coast, West Africa, where he was taught the guitar and sight reading by American folk singer, Lisa Sammet, then Peace Corps volunteer in his country.
This set him on a musical journey that began in West Africa, trailed across Europe, and finally the USA, where he acquired a degree in Music and Business at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This is why Jamallad is said to be one of the greatest beneficiaries of the Peace Corps
In his formative years Lucien studied Classical Guitar and Folk, to later cross over to Pop, Rock, Reggae. However, the west African Music Cavasha, which is the precedent to Soukous and Makossa is the undertone of Lucien's music.
At the end of the College years Lucien became known as JAMALLAD and has since been writing and performing music that explores the human condition in a distinctive style that is his own. The repertoire reflects the global culture that Jamallad has so fortunately enjoyed. He sings in various languages
s.Backed by four other musicians he packed clubs form Eastern Pennsylvania to the Jersey shore ( Long Beach Island), Through Delaware, Ocean City Maryland, Virginia Beach, and every coastal state southward to the Florida Keys ( Key West) for Spring breaks for several years before relocating to Los Angeles.
Now in Hawaii, Jamallad has teamed up with partner Chetanaa Petra Zoeller to co-write and produce a world class album titled Global Citizen which is about to come out. A must hear album.
Lucien has always understood himself as a messenger, and uses his music as a vehicle.
Jamallad's Music is conscious music
His music brings important messages across in a fun, upbeat way. His talent and inspiration allow him to communicate to a broad audience, in various musical styles; i.e.
World, Reggae, Rock, Pop, Afro Pop, and Folk.
The topics range from world peace, environmental issues, to relations( from personal to global). Some songs are just plain fun dance songs.
As an artist, I want to reach as many people around the world as possible. I want to have a positive impact with my music, provide for myself, my loved ones, and all those who are involved. I seek to educate, inform and stimulate while entertaining. Making music is as vital to me as breathing.
The Music and Us
For the longest time, artists, by enlarge have talked about a big " They ",
separating ourselves from the responsibility of it all.
We believe that the talent of music that we have gives us a great tool for
Communication .
Freedom of speech makes it possible for people in the arts, especially music,
To freely talk about any and everything. Lots has been sung about: love, sex, anger
It is our belief that in our days, music is a great tool for unifying, raising awareness,
sharing our common Hopes, fears, aspirations, and for giving comfort. We believe in a
humanitarian purpose to the music we make.
It is a window to the soul, yours and ours. We feel blessed that the world is listening
To the voice of wisdom that comes through us. We therefore aim at making music that serves
How This Album Came About
In November 2005 I landed on Maui, Hawaii, full of hope.
Little did I know what I was in for. I suffered a fall that would partially paralyze
me. With this unfortunate accident came my greatest blessing, for it lead me to
Chetanaa and Tana.
The mother and her nine year old son took me into their home, and embarked
on a difficult journey with me. It was the compassion and love they had for me,
that created the magic: In order to help my spirit stay strong, Chetanaa offered to facilitate the production of this album, thus giving me a purpose. As I kept getting worse, she set everything aside,
and I became her full time occupation. ( By the way, did I mention that I was completely broke and uninsured ?)
The Neurosurgeon's prognosis was very debilitating for someone hoping for a singing career. My voice,
I was told would never be the same. It felt like a death sentence. Hence, I postponed the surgery , prioritizing the album, in the event that I would never sing again after surgery. However I could no longer postpone it when my condition became unbearable. This album is proof that I came out of surgery victorious.
It is the greatest gift of love that I have received since my birth. I am sharing this gift of a second chance with the world .

Health statistics and health information systems
The goal of WHO's work in health statistics is to improve country, regional and global health information. This information is vital for public health decision making, health sector reviews, planning and resource allocation and programme monitoring and evaluation. WHO contributes to improved health information through its activities in the three following areas: the Global Health Observatory, the common gateway to the wealth of WHO data and statistics, analysis and reports on key health themes; standards, tools and methods for data collection, compilation, analysis, and dissemination and country measurement and evaluation, collaborating with countries on data collection, analysis and approaches to address priority data gaps and strengthen country health information systems.
Country Accountability Framework
The Commission on Information and Accountability for Women's and Children's Health delivered its report with ten recommendations in September 2011. The multi-stakeholder workplan to implement the Commission's recommendations focuses on: (1) strengthening of country mechanisms and practices for better accountability for health with special attention for women and children in the 75 countries referred to in the Commission's report, and (2) the improvement of global accountability mechanisms and practices.
The Global Health Observatory
The Global Health Observatory is a single point of entry to WHO's data and analyses on health priorities, providing comparative health data and analysis on the heatlh situation, trends and determinants to inform global and country decision making.
Users can download data sets in various formats, display data for selected indicators, health topics, countries and regions, and download the customized tables in Excel format.
Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) tool
The Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) is a health facility assessment tool designed to assess and monitor the service availability and readiness of the health sector and to generate evidence to support the planning and managing of a health system. SARA is designed as a systematic survey to generate a set of tracer indicators of service availability and readiness. It has been developed by WHO in conjunction with global partners to fill critical data gaps in measuring and tracking progress in health systems strengthening.

Make sure you know how to use a bivy!
By Monty
from Pa
About Me Avid Adventurer, Military/Law Enforcement, Professional/Guide
Comments about The North Face Simple Bivy:
Bivvies were intended to be used for fast alpine overnight and not warm weather rain shelters, tarps fulfill those adventure necesities.That said, this bivy is great for fall, winter and early spring weather. I've use it for muontaineering and alpine mixed climbs when condensation is kept to a minimum. In summer I recommend a tarp and a mosquito net instead. This is one of my favorite pieces of gear because it is light, small, reliable and, above all, allows me to be independent and free of loud stinky tent-users =p. Warning: Some people might not be able to sleep without the "safety" of tent walls against wildlife. I personally love this thing.

All In All....Great
By Benion
from Cookeville, Tennessee
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I've used this product once so far. All in all, what a great piece of gear. I packs so small! I'm 5'11'' and about 195lbs. I brought along an Alps self-inflating mat to keep me off the ground, and a tarp to lay underneath it. The only thing I lacked was a sleeping bag. I just had a sheet. I was sleeping beside a waterfall, so it got chilly on April 7th and 8th in Tennessee. I recommend this if you don't mind sleeping in a small area, but it has a zip area for you to open up and look out of. Good stuff for lightweighters.
Not Waterproof!
By Adventureforthesoul
from Bloomsburg, Pa
About Me Avid Adventurer, Environmentalist
I used this bivy on a spring break trip for 8 days, it rained 3 nights out of that trip, and my sleeping bag weighed about 20 pounds the next day after the rain, it is NOT waterproof whatsoever. If you plan on staying in a shelter or under a larger canopy tarp then it should be fine. I also used this Bivy in February in the Adirondacks, and it was great for winter conditions where the water stayed frozen, it kept me nice and warm in the winter.
My First Bivy
By Nitz
from Santa Barbara, CA
I compared this bivy to the Minimalist from REI. REI wins on color, but I chose this bivy because it will zip completely shut to provide total coverage (the REI leaves a hole that is only covered with mesh).I have yet to try it in rain, but it has worked to keep me dry from outside moisture (while also breathing just fine), leaving my sleeping bag dry in the morning. I have used it while backpacking in the Sierra in October, a few days after a measurable snowfall.On the negative side, I like to have the ability to have a hidden sleeping spot, and the colors of this bivy are only moderately camo-like. Not a deal breaker this time.

If you love the lineup, let's here your thought about it here!!!
If you love the lineup, let's here your thought about it here!!!
Please check out my blog Sleeping is Giving In for some great mixes and other good things!
Way better than last year (minus fri/sat headliners)
Best lineup since 08... even with the underwhelming headliners. The festival is back on the right track for sure.
2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012b, 2013a, 2014a
I am really really ridiculously excited for Blur and The Stone Roses. The other headliners are pretty weak, but the undercard is fucking top notch. That Violent Femmes reunion, in particular, came out of left field.
Dude!!! Trent Reznor, Maynard, Ian from the Stone Roses, Beach House, the XX, Passion Pit, Modest Mouse, BLUR!!, Sigur Ros!!, New Fucking Order! Grizzly Bear, Nick Cave!! AMAZING FUCKING LINE UP!!!!!
Best lineup in years. The AF, AC, BE, BSS thing was pretty cool but this lineup is some serious business.
Not to sound like a broken record, but yes... best lineup in years. I don't care if Saturday and Sunday has weak headliners, it just means that I can get out of the parking lot quicker
"The Future is Unwritten"
This lineup is fucking awesome.
The amount of people i'm friends with on Facebook who said "WHO THE HELL ARE BLUR AND THE STONE ROSES" is insane. I'd guess 25 people posted that exact status.
But ya, weak/weird headliners and billing at the top, but overall very solid undercard.
Check out my concert photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/ameeps/

At first - I was PISSED. But now that I've looked past Phoenix and RHCP, I'm stoked to be a music fan.
But, where's the folk? usually there's at least a little folk - I've seen Gillian Welch, Nickel Creek, Trampled By Turtles at Coachella...maybe I'm missing something, but they don't seem to have much this time around.
Janelle Monae, Spiritualized, Loco Dice, Cloud Nothings, Paul Kalkbrenner, Blur, El-P, Kurt Vile, Nick Cave, Sigur Ros, Moby, Grizzly Bear, The Shouting Matches, Four Tet, Modest Mouse, Japandroids, Savages, Jessie Ware, Booka Shade.
I cant really be the only one excited for RHCP? Am I? I mean, if you don't hop festivals around the country when else will you get a chance to see them?
FUCKING INTENSE. RHCP can go fuck themselves. Everyday is fully stacked, to say the least. A little choked there's no The Knife, but i'll get over it.

Biggest disappointment is the massive amount of conflicts. I need this to start this weekend.
Underwhelming headliners for sure...but still excited to see most of them, and the undercard is just fucking phenomenal.
Friday: Blur, Modest Mouse, Lou Reed, Passion Pit, Of Monsters & Men, Divine Fits Japanroids, Alt-J, Jake Bugg, Skinny Lister, FOALS
Saturday: Phoenix, The Postal Service, Dropkick Murphys, Two Door Cinema Club, Franz Ferdinand, Violent Femmes, SMD, Allen Stone, Ben Howard, Vintage Trouble, Reignwolf
Sunday: RHCP, Vampire Weekend, The Faint, Tanlines, Rodriguez, Pretty Lights, La Roux, Tame Impala, Father John Misty, Hanni El Khatib
Props GV for bringing Jake Bugg in. I think he's only 16 or 17. Very dylanesque.
Hella Stacked. I just don't get how they couldn't get a real headliner considering Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode, Tool, Neil Young, Eminem, Black Sabbath were all available
This is one of the strongest undercards I have ever seen. Props to GV. So much amazing punk

DMA OFFERS MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION SERVICES TO MEMBERSWashington, DC, February 25, 2009 The Direct Marketing Association (DMA), in conjunction with the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB), today announced that, beginning March 1, 2009, it will offer members access to an independent mediation and arbitration service for the purpose of resolving commercial disputes involving DMA members. The service, which is tailored to address the unique aspects of direct marketing, is being provided in response to member requests for a simple, low-cost, efficient means to resolve commercial disputes that arise between organizations. Mediation and arbitration will be conducted over the telephone by qualified mediators and arbitrators provided by the CBBB. Through DMA, the CBBB will have access to industry experts and other professionals who will assist with individual cases. Specifically, industry experts will be drawn from DMAs Ethics Committee members who specialize in specific areas of direct marketing. Whenever the CBBB requires access to a specialist, DMA will select the appropriate person(s) to assist. The specialist will not be informed who the disputing parties are, but will be provided input on case-specific matters. Specialists from the broader DMA membership may be drawn upon as well, depending on demand and requirements. The first three-hour mediation or arbitration hearing will cost members $2000, with an hourly rate being applied thereafter, and the parties involved in the dispute will collectively decide in advance whether or not the decision will be binding. If the parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution, the mediator will put the agreement into written form and send the agreement to both parties. Although DMAs Guidelines for Ethical Business Practice empowers the Association to resolve consumer complaints regarding member organizations, they did not address the issue of commercial disputes relating to member organizations, said Senny Boone, DMAs senior vice president of Corporate & Social Responsibility. This service, which combines CBBBs dispute resolution experience with DMAs industry knowledge, was designed to help our members resolve commercial disputes in a quick, cost effective, confidential manner without the need to rely on the court system. For more information on DMAs mediation and arbitration services, please contact If you are a CBBB-accredited business, you may also have dispute resolution options available through your local BBB, in addition to the mediation and arbitration provided by this program. Please contact your local BBB for more information about the benefits of accreditation. If you have questions, you may also contact Rod Davis at email@example.com.

K-12 Outreach
STEM opportunity for middle and high school teachers
Ohio Northern University was recently awarded an eTech Teacher Planning Grant for Middle and High School Math, Science, and Technology teachers. We began the program by hosting 30 teachers from Hardin, Hancock, Allen, Wyandot, Marion, Auglaize, Shelby, Logan and Putnam Counties in a one week workshop integrating technology and engineering concepts into the classroom. Click here for further information.
Engineer Your Life
The Ohio Northern University College of Engineering is a member of the Engineer Your Life (EYL) coalition, a group of organizations that are committed to repositioning engineering as an exciting and rewarding career choice for young women. Find out why you should consider engineering as a career by exploring the EYL website at: http://engineeryourlife.org/
Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science (TEAMS) is an interscholastic competition that helps to prepare students for tomorrow's world – today. Students learn how the math and science concepts they are learning in high school are applied to real-world problems. The TEAMS program encourages tomorrow's engineers to work cooperatively and think critically. Awards are given at the local, state, and national level. TEAMS is sponsored nationally by The Technology Student Association (TSA). TSA is a national, non-profit organization of middle and high school students who have a strong interest in technology. TSA was chartered in 1978 and since then over 2,000,000 students have participated in its program. Members learn through challenging competitions, leadership activities and community service. Information is available at www.tsaweb.org.
ONU has been a local host for the TEAMS competition annually since 1987. We currently rank in the top 10 competition sites annually for the number of participants; with approximately 25 school districts and almost 500 students involved in the competition each year. In addition to the testing facilities, ONU sponsors a portion of each school's competition fees and provides lunch.
For more information, contact Peg Hibbard at firstname.lastname@example.com or 419-772-2370.
Engineering Pathways
This camp for students entering their sophomore or junior year in the fall is part of the ONU Summer Honors Institute. Hands-on activities will give students in this course an understanding of three basic engineering fields: civil engineering, electrical/computer engineering and mechanical engineering. Classroom and laboratory activities will include application and use of strain gauges, tensile testing of metals and use of programmable logic controllers. Students will have the opportunity to compare computer generated theoretical data to experimental data taken in a wind tunnel, experiment with closed loop control systems and write a program using the Java programming language. Field trips will be taken to enhance student knowledge of engineering and encourage students to interact with practicing engineers.
For more information, contact Prof. Laurie Laird at email@example.com.
Camp GEMS
Camp GEMS (Girls in Engineering, Math and Science) is a summer camp designed to develop interest, excitement and self-confidence in young women entering grades 7 or 8 in the fall. This 4 day, residential camp for 48-64 young women is typically held at the end of July. The camp features hands-on activities in math, science, engineering and computers. A class ratio of 8-12 students per teacher is emphasized to encourage maximum interaction and instruction. The camp is designed for the all-around student, not just those who excel academically.
Campers will have the opportunity to meet other girls from Ohio, gain self-confidence through hands-on activities and experiments while enjoying other camp activities such as a scavenger hunt, swimming and sports. Most important will be the girls' opportunity to associate with camp counselors who are students at Ohio Northern University majoring in engineering, pharmacy, math or the sciences. These mentors will help the girls assess their own values, set goals, and give them first-hand knowledge of career opportunities.
The camp also offers many all-camp activities such as swimming and tennis. All sleeping, eating and instructional activities are located on the campus of Ohio Northern University.
For more information, contact Prof. Laurie Laird at firstname.lastname@example.com or explore the camp website at http://campgems.onu.edu
The purpose of Engineering Exploring is to provide the youth of America the opportunity to look into the world of engineering as a career choice and to participate in engineering activities. This is accomplished through community organizations that can provide an effective Exploring program. Engineering Explorer posts are involved in a variety of programs and projects featuring training, skill development, and service projects and are supported by such organizations as the National Society of Professional Engineers and local industries and universities.
The T.J. Smull College of Engineering is currently working with the Explorer Post located in Findlay, OH and works with this post three to four times per year to provide on-campus activities and learning opportunities for young adults.
For more information, contact Dr. Eric Baumgartner at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2009 7:56 pm Post subject: I think I got a great deal
I stopped at Dick's sporting Goods Store this afternoon . I had a coupon for $10 off a $50 purchase plus a coupon for 150 points . I was looking at the Deer hauling carts on sale for $60 and debating on whether or not to buy one . One of the associates said "I have a deal for you" . I'm thinking yeah , right . The carts they sell now are Field & Stream made by Ameristep and sold exclusively at Dick's .
They had one of the Ameristep Grizzly Deer Carts marked at $89.95 . He said it had been in the store for a couple years , was the same as the Field & Stream except for the packaging . He said you can have it for 50% off and we will honor your coupons . It rang up for $59.97 and then $29.98 at 50% off . He then subtracted the $10 , added tax and I paid $21.40 . I think I got a great deal !!!
Now I need some deer to haul ! [:)]...[:)]
