ATN Canada to Produce and Broadcast 100 Episodes as a Tribute to 100 Years of Indian Cinema
TORONTO, Sep. 4, 2013, 2013 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Asian Television Network International Limited (ATN) (TSX-SAT), Canada's largest South Asian Broadcaster, is pleased to announce that it will produce a Canadian television series of 100 Episodes as a tribute to 100 Years of Indian Cinema. The series will feature 100 celebrities from the world's largest film Industry with an International perspective. The series will feature exclusive interviews with stalwarts of the Indian Film Industry including Movie Stars, Producers, Directors, Music Composers and Playback Singers.
ATN Canada has reached into the depth and breadth of its own massive archives to enable it to embark on a deep nostalgic dive into the memory-land of Indian cinema. The forthcoming new series is planned with a special Canadian flavor as most of the icons and glittering stars of the Indian cinema have at some time or the other during the past 3 decades, either visited ATN in Canada or have been interviewed by ATN on location. The names of these icons and the mega stars are numerous and each one is in some case immortalised and treasured in our collective memories, in the films and recordings and in other cases are still with us as glamorous and as larger than life as ever.
The production is based on the interviews and shared moments with the icons of the Indian cinema who, while on foreign soil and away from the film studios, have dropped their guard and opened up to show their real personal warmth and their real personal charm that, amongst other things, makes the production very unique and original. It is a labour of love, as the archives and the library go back in history when the concept of ATN as what it is to-day was a mere hope in the future. The series will be produced at ATN's new High Definition Studios and Broadcast centre. The series will use precious footage from its vast original Canadian Production Archives, some of which may not be available anywhere else in the world.
ATN's Tribute to 100 Years Of Indian Cinema will include Exclusive interviews with Mega Movie Stars from the Hindi Film Industry such as Raj Kapoor, Devanand, Dilip Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Hema Malini, Rekha, Sridevi, Shahrukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Sunny Deol and Producers & Directors like Yash Chopra, V. Shantaram, Ramanand Sagar, B. R Chopra, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Mira Nair & Manmohan Desai to name a few.
It will also include Mega stars from the Southern film industry such asDr. M.G. Ramachandran, Shivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan, Rajanikant, Kamala Hassan, Prabhu Deva, Jaya Pradha, and more and artists from the Punjabi Film Industry such as Gurdas Mann, Aryan Babbar, Om Puri, Sonu Sood, Diljit Dosanjh, Narender Chanchal, Rupinder Handa & Divya Dutta ATN will pay its tribute through outstanding Singers such as the Nightingale of India Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Oscar winner A R Rahman, Mukesh, Asha Bhosle, Ghulam Ali, Jagjit Singh, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and others. ATN will also showcase Canadian success stories' contribution to Indian Cinema such as Deepa Mehta, Jaspinder Narula, Harbhajan Mann, Lisa Ray, Adnan Sami, Raghav and many more.
"It has been a privilege tohave been involvedwith the Canadian Broadcast Industry and the Indian Film Industry. My Father, a lawyer turned film producer was a Pioneer in Indian cinema. He was one among the first in Southern India to Produce a Feature Film with sound. Based on his tremendous Goodwill,I have had the honour of interviewing several of the above mentioned Extraordinary Celebrities from the Indian Film Industry. As the Founder of ATN in Canada I am delighted to be blessed with this opportunity to be associated with the Centenary Celebration of Indian Cinema" said Dr. Shan Chandrasekar President and CEO of ATN.
The series will commence in September 2013 and run for 52 weeksat prime time on ATN HD and other selected ATN affiliated Channels.

Vikki's Ramblings
Well let me start by saying THANK YOU to you all for your words of comfort, your prayers, thoughts and good wishes for my sister.
My sister was on the ventilator for 10 days. She had 2 stents in. They do not know how long she was without oxygen or the long term effects either. She experienced major paranoia and forgetfulness. She tried to leave the hospital and just walk out even tho no one was there to get her. She told 2 of nieces and my sister that she hated them and would never forget that they were "doing" this to her.
After all this the Dr's still cleared her to go home......
GREAT!!!! If only.....
The first thing she did was NOT to light up a cigerette and continue to chain smoke. To act like we were punishing her by not getting her a bottle of wine. To want to continue the lifestyle that landed her there.
What would be great is if I could bring myself to NOT care!!!!
I am going home tomorrow. The plan originally was to gonfor work and helpnwithnsome things in my old stores. But then things happened with my sister. So I will be driving up there, stopping in Nashville to pick up my niece.
I will be working but I will also be visiting with my family and my sister in the hospital. I'm not sure if it's looking good or not for her....... I guess these things take time.
I am hoping to meet up with Neicy and Linni but will see how it all falls into place.
I will try to jump on and visit with you all just depends on if I have free time.
Please keep my sister in your thoughts and prayers
My sister had a heart attack early today and is in the hospital. She is currently sedated and on a ventilator. Her blood pressure is still high and they want to keep her under while they try to bring it down. They are unable to tell us anything else until after this.
So I am asking for prayers and all your positive energy.....
Last night my hubs and I were snug in our bed. The lights had only been turned off for maybe 10 minutes or so. Normally we would play a game or 2 on our iPods or he will read the news to me.
I heard footsteps walking across the floor upstairs. I waited a minute and didn't hear any more so I said to my hubz "did you hear Garrett come in?". He said no but he must have.
Ok Garrett is my 21 year old step son and his room is right over ours. He is many things but quiet is not in that list. So I don't think anything more and proceed with what I was doing ( reading).
Well the next thing I know I hear a little mini Cooper pull up, keys in the door, and pound pound pound up the stairs. Then I hear the shoes kicked off one by one, the cell phone and keys drop to the floor and a plop on the bed.
So if those last noises I heard was Garrett coming in and making his normal noise what were those other foot steps we heard???????

At the insistence of Republicans, the plan includes an estate tax that would allow the first $10 million of a couple's estate to pass to heirs without taxation. The balance would be subject to a 35 percent tax rate.
Many House Democrats want to impose a higher estate tax, bringing back the levels in place in 2009. They persuaded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to allow a vote on the change, arguing that the higher estate tax would affect only 6,600 of the wealthiest estates, and would save $23 billion. [See a slide show of top congressional travel destinations.]
"It doesn't create jobs, it adds to the deficit," Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said of the lower estate tax. "Is that the message this Congress wants to send at a time of high deficits?"
In 2009, individuals could pass $3.5 million to their heirs, tax-free. Couples could pass $7 million, with a little tax planning, and the balance was taxed at a top rate of 45 percent.
The estate tax was allowed to expire for 2010. But under current law, it would come back in 2011 at even higher levels, with a top tax rate of 55 percent. Democrats said their plan to reinstate the 2009 tax is still more generous than current law; many Republicans said the estate tax should be done away with altogether.
"I don't like this bill, but I like even less the notion of raising taxes on average Americans," said Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif.
Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ill., said Thursday that he won't vote for the bill because it doesn't make the tax cuts permanent.
"A two-year extension of the tax code is not going to encourage the kind of investment that's going to begin to create jobs in this economy," Pence said on NBC's "Today."
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell said any changes to the bill would derail the entire package, putting millions of Americans at risk of a significant tax increase next year.
"Now it's up to our colleagues in the House, and we urge Democrat leaders to resist playing political games and making partisan changes so that American taxpayers won't be hit with a huge, job-killing tax hike on Jan. 1," McConnell said.

So what are we doing now, reporting on every shooting that occurs to drum up the gun issue? How about Hollywood forfeiting any future gun violence movies for the sake of saving lives, after all, the killers must be getting their ideas somewhere.
Paul...thats just a littke insensitive. Someone was gunned down today and lost their life. A family.is mourning yet another casualty caused by a person with a gun. No matter which side you are on this debate...he WAS killed by a person with a gun. It should be reported, of course, any life is important and the violence should be brought to everyone's attention!! It wasn't a walk by "clubbing" or a man attacking him with a hammer....he used a gun. The very thing everyone wants so bad to possess.

Davy Jones, lead singer of the Monkees, has died, the Martin County Medical Examiner's office confirmed this afternoon.
"The district 19 Medical Examiner's Office has been notified of the death of Mr. Davy Jones. We are currently evaluating whether or not the Medical Examiner's Office will take jurisdiction," according to a statement read by spokeswoman Rebecca Shortridge.
"It is quite a shock," said Helen Kensick, Jones' publicist of 50 years.
Kensick said he died of a heart attack this morning in Indiantown, where Jones keeps horses.
In his last conversation with The Palm Beach Post in mid-February, Davy Jones was upbeat, chatting animatedly about his three 2-year-old racehorses and his wife Jessica Pacheco, a flamenco dancer who performed in Stuart on Feb. 23.

The couple was in the middle of remodeling their beachfront condo in Hollywood.
They had just returned from a cruise onboard the Grand Princess, where Jones performed. It was a great family trip, Pacheco said, because Jones' daughter, Jessica, and her son, Phoenix, 8, had joined them.
"David bought his grandson a pirate's hat, and he wore it all over the ship," said Pacheco, who married Jones in August 2009.
They had been traveling so much for the past year, Pacheco said, that coming home to Hollywood "felt like a honeymoon."
Last summer, for their 45th anniversary, the Monkees toured in Great Britain and the United States.

After the UK leg of the tour, Jones told The Post that he had not been feeling great, but he got a stress test and the doctor told him he "had the heart of a 25-year-old."
"You know how it goes with touring - they don't pay you to sing, they pay you to travel," he said. "The doctor says my heart's so good, the door's open to do any kind of exercise I want."
Jones has raced horses for years, and his favorite exercise at home is swimming in the ocean. He had performed shows in New York over Presidents' Day weekend.

After Hard I think Breach is pretty much a lock for Coachella next year, absolutely smashed the tent. best set of the weekend for me. Close second was Flylo and Busy P's tribute to Mehdi is something I will never forget.
That you think looks make a person happy about themselves, and look the way you do, tells the rest of us how truly unsatisfied you must be. I look good, and I lead a happy life. How does debating with hate-mongers make my life seem unsatisfying to you? Isn't that basically your mantra?
This is you... +150 lbs. -Fanbase +a stupid ass hat you think makes your head look smaller. (It doesn't.)
It's amazing how the joke never gets old.
Excuse me, but I am widely regarded as being the most handsome man on this board by far, so any insults you try to throw my way with regards to my appearance will be summarily dismissed by the masses. I wouldn't even dare attempt question my sexuality, were I you.
But then again if I were you, I'd be a dumb dick.
You've spent almost thirty years questioning your own sexuality. Why would anyone else bother? You look like a transexual doppelganger of Vincent D'Onofrio. If that doesn't scream, "Most handsome man on the internet," then I surely don't know what does.
Then again if you were me, you'd have more to show for your years on this planet than a stretched-out sweat-stained hat, and a host of faceless net-addicts to boast your genetic faults as human perfection. You really almost fooled us... rly.

Well they're probably going to do it the right way. PAY ATTENTION BREMERTON.
Due to the age of the building, I would expect there to be some hazmat stuff.
The Goldberg Pile in downtown crapsville, was just a pile of rubble with lead paint debris seeping into the groundwater.
It appears they've already marked areas for excavation and removal from the site.

It's a school that's centered completely around its students and meant to give them the best college experience possible, and I can say with complete confidence that Rice University will definitely be receiving an application from me this fall."
"By the end of the program, I have to admit that I had become utterly enraptured by Rice University in all aspects: the campus, students, professors, and culturally rich society.

This is just what "-q..." is for. The argument "-q30m" tells sendmail
to flush the queue every 30 minutes (e.g. look for mail, that have
been queued for some reason or another and retry to send any message
found in the queue).
So, if this argument was actually given to sendmail before the reboot,
then its strange, that you didn't see any try to send the mail.
sendmail (in the usual configuration) would have send a warning to the
sender if it still failed to send the message after a couple of hours
and would have given up to send the message after some days. But this
only happens while sendmail tries to resend the message, so if your
users didn't see any warning about problems to send mail, it's likely
that sendmail actually did not retry to send the mail. (Check your
So maybe, due to some problem, that i'm unable to analyse from here,
the "-q30m" didn't make its way to sendmail's command line, although
it was given in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail?

How many times have you sat down to write and thought, for just one sencond, you were going to check in on Facebook, Twitter, just a few emails and then your prime writing time (and if you are like me, your brain) has gone the way of the dodo bird and you really didn't get the important stuff done.
Or worse, you just don't feel like writing at all.
Think about your favorite athlete. What if that person woke up one morning, decided they had stayed up late reading a really good book, with sick kids, watching _________ and that they didn't really feel like they were at their best to play that day. Absurd, right?
Think about it. When warming up for a game, ball players listen to music to prevent distractions from anything else. Singers are often heard before their performance, pacing and singing scales, keeping the voice warm. We need to have the same consideration for our brains.
When it is time to write, it is time to write. No social media, no google. Just get the music that inspires you, notes if you are a planner (me!) and go. Distractions are always going to be there, it is our responsibility to hone our ninja discipline and face the task at hand with a mind set in determination. If we train ourselves to block these out, our opportunity to have success will be significantly enhanced.

St. Francis Health Center estate closes, seven years later
June 24, 2009 4:00 AMA major health system losing money in the current recession is not necessarily noteworthy. But one local system's deficits -- exceeding more than a half million dollars since 2005 -- might raise a few eyebrows.
Those debts belong to longtime Lawrenceville institution St. Francis Medical Center and its affiliates, which closed in 2002.
It turns out that between paying off creditors, ensuring pension benefits are properly disbursed, settling lawsuits and dealing with any number of unexpected complications, the successful closure of a hospital can be a time-consuming and costly process.
Earlier this month, with little fanfare, Common Pleas Judge Frank Lucchino formally terminated the receivership for St. Francis, writing that "all outstanding claims ... along with any right to repayment said creditors may have, is hereby terminated and forever disallowed."
With that, St. Francis Medical Center officially was no more.
Still, it took longer -- by one month -- to close the books on St. Francis than it did to buy the land, plan and build a new Children's Hospital and then move that operation to the same plot of Lawrenceville property where St. Francis stood.
"In an estate this size, I don't think it's unusual," said John R. McGinley Jr., an attorney at Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, who has overseen the various legal matters for the St. Francis closing.
At the same time, he allowed, "It is interesting that we're closing this up as the new Children's opens."
The process started in August 2002, when the St. Francis Health System petitioned the court to approve a $150 million sale to the UPMC Health System and Jameson Health System in New Castle after years of growing debt.
St. Francis, which had been founded by two nuns 137 years earlier, struggled financially its last years.
Changing demographics in Lawrenceville and the emergence of new hospitals in Pittsburgh suburbs eroded its patient base.
In its final years, fewer than half the hospital's 471 beds were filled on many days, while more and more of its patients were on Medicare or Medicaid.
While its doors were open, though, the Sisters of St. Francis of Millvale made sure no one was ever denied care, regardless of a person's ability to pay, said Tony Ceoffe, executive director of Lawrenceville United, a resident-driven community group.
He remembers fondly a hospital that represented a big part of Lawrenceville's identity. "It was a community-based hospital. From the janitor, to the receptionist, to the anesthesiologist, they all lived in Lawrenceville," said Mr. Ceoffe, 47, who grew up just a few blocks away from the hospital.
They took particular pride that "their" hospital saved Liberace's life in 1963 when the pianist was rushed to St. Francis in kidney failure after inhaling fumes while cleaning one of his trademark costumes.
In gratitude, Liberace became a generous benefactor and, in 1986, the sisters dedicated the hospital lobby in his honor.
Sixteen years later, in its final days, that lobby would be the setting for the sale of hospital furniture, plants and books, as the building was emptied of everything but memories.
Resolving the legal issues associated with the closing, though, would not happen so quickly. Mr. McGinley and his colleagues faced a formidable task in 2002.
Some 13,000 people with a stake in the sale had to be notified: 2,271 employees, 7,095 potential pensioners, 61 tenants, 67 secured creditors and 3,198 potential unsecured creditors, as well as the state attorney general and the Sisters of St. Francis of Millvale.
Still-valid professional contracts with physicians had to be resolved and settled, in one case for less than one-tenth of the contract's value.
Early on, Mr. McGinley said, officials decided to put St. Francis into receivership instead of filing for bankruptcy as the Allegheny Health and Education Research Foundation did in 1998, to keep the proceedings within the state court system. "We felt we could get money to creditors faster than with bankruptcy."
Two major claims had to be addressed early on, Mr. McGinley said, one by bondholders that settled for about $100 million and another by pensioners that paid out more than $8 million. "Until you got these big contingency claims settled, you couldn't pay the others."
A group of former employees in New Castle, Lawrence County, also filed suit, saying they had been wrongfully denied severance payments. That case was eventually settled for about 38 cents on the dollar.
There was the predictable debate among the 839 creditors about who should be paid first, raising the possibility of "litigation gridlock for many years to come," according to one court filing. But that got settled, and the creditors were paid early on, at least those that officials could find, Mr. McGinley said.
The service they hired to find creditors ran into a few dead ends.
Some creditors, including a marketing firm, a photo supply vendor and a data electronics company, had gone out of business. Some had been sold. In a few cases, firms such as an orthopedic service company and an information services vendor, never responded to inquiries.
Not all of the 7,000 pensioners were easy to reach either, and others made claims to pension benefits that needed to be verified. Nearly 40 pension-eligible former employees had died, so the legal heirs needed to be tracked down. As late as this April, one last person was found to be eligible for a pension payment of $953.98.
Attorney fees ranged from $100,000 to $700,000 a year, Mr. McGinley said, but that covered two lawyers working on day-to-day legal matters, eight to 10 others pitching in as special situations arose, plus employment specialists, medical record specialists and two mediators, among others. Eckert Seamans reported just under $80,000 in legal fees in St. Francis' most recent annual tax filing.
The process also involved learning new skills.
Because the New Castle facility didn't close down immediately in 2002, Mr. McGinley joked, "I was operating a hospital for a while."
Actually, he hired some experienced hospital executives to handle day-to-day operations ,but he was regularly meeting with the clinical staff, trying to keep it intact through the transition. "There was a fair amount of resentment" about the sale, he recalled.
Although St. Francis reported losses in its last annual tax forms, money from the sale of its various assets left about $100,000 in the St. Francis account at the time of the final dissolution, money which Mr. McGinley said would be transferred to a community foundation run by the Sisters of St. Francis.
Mr. Ceoffe said Lawrenceville was proud to be home to the new Children's Hospital, with its gleaming towers and national reputation for pediatric care.
But it's not a replacement for St. Francis in the eyes of longtime Lawrenceville residents, he said, even all these years later.
"There are those childhood memories that stick in your mind. These are the things you are familiar with and comfortable with.
Any time a huge piece like that leaves, it takes away from the fiber of the community."

Garcinia Cambogia A Long-Standing Tradition
The Garcinia Cambogia Fruit
The use of African remedies to address many common ailments is a long-standing tradition that is often passed down through generations. Like other cultures, using treatments such as teas, herbs, and essential oils is a very strong part of one's heritage. It is more than simply an inexpensive way to cure common health issues.
Many parents may use cool baths and popsicles as a way to bring down a child's fever. But warming the feet or putting potatoes and onions in the socks are traditions that many people are unaware of. Onions are used in many different cultures to draw toxins from the blood or from a wound. Garcinia Cambogia has been found to be one of the best natural aids.
Some families are aware that chamomile can help ease the pain of a colicky infant. Senna and catnip are African remedies that can also be effective in providing relief. The use of an egg for teething is another remedy many people are not aware of. Many remedies are safe and require limited use common ingredients or herbs. One such ingredient is garcinia cambogia fruit from dr oz.
When healing needs to occur from within the best remedies may involve African foods. Traditional foods are high in fiber and offer many health benefits. They are also easy to grow in small garden plots. Yams, cassava, maize, rice, millet, and many other grains are common in the traditional diet.
While African foods in a traditional diet have plenty of starch, they also include vegetables, nuts, and lean meats. The key feature of the African diet is simplicity and use of unrefined ingredients. It is the lack of refinement or processing that helps people stay healthy.
Like dishes from other countries African foods often include spicy vegetables like chili peppers. These staples are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. They also help keep tissues healthy as they contain plenty of vitamin C.
Breakfast foods are often light but provide plenty of energy for the day. Kunu is a form of millet porridge often eaten for breakfast. Bean cake or akara is another breakfast staple. In some regions boiled yam and plantain provide plenty of energy and fiber.
For lunch soups made with a variety of vegetables are common. Pounded yams, rice, or semolina is also served with soup. In most cases processing of foods for meals is very minimal. Many of the vegetables and starches are pounded or ground instead of being cooked at high temperatures, which sometimes breaks down nutrients.
Many foods offer greater health benefits when eaten raw or as close to raw as possible. African remedies make use of the herbs, plants, and fruits that are plentiful in tropical climates. Many can be found around the world in groceries and whole foods stores.

Essentials Of Protein
Protein plays a very important role in our body. Our body contains at least 45 percent protein and regulates and repairs tissues and generates new cells in our body. It can be found in other body fluids but cannot be found in urine and bile. Protein is also used in making hemoglobin which is from the red blood cells and also helps build up heart muscle. This molecule is said to be the "building blocks of life" and without it, our body will not be able to function since we need protein to have muscle contractions and it is also essential for the proper functioning of the internal organs. Protein can be found in certain foods such as cheddar cheese, chicken breast, canned tuna, tofu, yogurt, and milk. When it comes to fish, salmon contains high amount of protein.
There are different kinds of protein. Complete protein came from animals like fish, pigs, cows, and lamb that provide milk and meat. These food sources have the complete nine essentials of amino acids yet incomplete protein can be found in vegetables since they only have at least eight of the amino acids. Protein is used for building up the muscles and repairing them. It is needed for muscle contractions, transporting nutrients throughout the body, and maintaining water balance. It is also needed to keep skin, nails and hair healthy. But too much protein in the body may cause damage to the kidneys and an individual who eats more meat may cause high cholesterol level or gout.
Having a balanced diet will provide an individual enough protein and will not need any health supplements. You can start using www.essentialspure.com essential oils when you cook to add more flavor and lighten things up. However for those that struggle with weight gain a natural supplement can help to increase ones appetite. Such weight gain pills will provide a needed boost in appetite to help you consume more protein. The recommended amount will depend on the individual's age and health but usually two to three servings will be enough for the daily requirement. Eggs are a good source of it but one should not eat more than four eggs a week since it is high in cholesterol. You can look for a recipe that only uses egg white or you can substitute eggs with tuna fish or canned tuna since it contains 40 grams of protein. To get a complete list of protein rich foods, check online or your nutritionist so that you can create a healthy daily meal plan.
Green Tea and Weight Loss
Green tea has always been part of the daily intake of the people in many Asian countries, with China and Japan predominant in the consumption and the growing of this herb. It has always been known to be very good for health and this has been proved scientifically, and covered on weight loss punch among others.
It has a definite effect on the reduction of heart disease, lowers incidence of cancers, prevents death of brain cells and helps patients suffering from Parkinson and Alzheimer. Its use in the Western world has vastly increased ever since it has gained the reputation of being helpful for weight loss.
The components of this tea that helps health are polyphenols and caffeine. Polyphenols strengthen the cells in the body while helping to weaken cancerous cells. They also stimulate fat oxidation which is why it is so important to losing weight. They do this by inducing thermogenesis which induces the process of heat production which then burns the fat. Caffeine acts to stimulate the metabolism and thus the burning of calories so necessary for reducing weight.
The benefits of green tea for weight loss are noticeable only if substantial quantities of tea are consumed daily. This is suggested at 8 cups a day, something that is excessive to Western minds. In Asia, it is consumed throughout the day in small quantities. To help out in this, scientists have come out with supplements that have the tea extract as one of the main ingredients. These are so concentrated that one table spoon of the extract is equal to 8 cups of tea, and will therefore work well to reducing weight.
There are no side effects in the consumption of this herbal tea either directly as tea or in the form of extracts. So if you form a regime of drinking green tea you can do so for the rest of your life. It also helps to increase endurance and this in turn will allow you to sustain any exercise routine, which in turn can definitely be a help to weight loss.
What To Expect While Using Garcinia Cambogia Extract
Garcinia Cambogia Extract is also known as Irvingia Gaboneses, and the mango diet has become one of the more popular diets including the African mango extract as the main ingredient. Not only can the diet help with weight loss, but an added benefit is the control of cholesterol in the body. The fruit comes from a tree indigenous to the West African region. It was used as a staple in diets and for various medicinal purposes. However, within the last 20 years, western civilization has realized the health benefits of the mango, and the fruit has been changing lives every day.
The extract aids in losing weight by assisting the body with the fat burning process. The metabolism is increasingly accelerated with this diet naturally with no stimulants to avoid jittery or anxious feelings. Many are familiar with the hormone that contributes to weight gain called Leptin. The extract acts as a Leptin regulator by raising the levels of the hormone and lessening food cravings. The diet has a way of delaying gastric emptying resulting in food being digested much slower. In short, the body stays fuller longer and with the regulation of Leptin, pounds are dropped quickly and significantly. A final and very important factor in this diet is the great source of soluble fiber that further aids in the suppression of an appetite. Fiber also has the familiarity of being a natural laxative that helps in getting rid of waste in the body.
As noted, the Garcinia Cambogia Extract diet is a healthy and successful way to assist in weight loss. Highlighted benefits include a strengthened metabolism, the regulation of Leptin, slower digestion of food, and a natural fiber to rid the body of waste. Several scientific studies provide valuable data to show the effectiveness of the mango diet with the extract being the primary ingredient. Naturally, a healthy exercise regime can only help with the overall weight loss product. If you'd like to know what is garcinia cambogia extract dosage and reviews, please visit weight loss punch.
The New HCG Diet
As the problem with obesity gets greater in the world, scientists, doctors, and every day people try to come up with the cure for it. Some of these ideas have had some validity and some were scams developed to take advantage of people with weight problems. The latest trend in curing the problem of obesity has been the HCG Diet. HCG is short for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is the pregnancy hormone that is produced at the time of conception. The presence of HCG in the urine is what makes women test positive on pregnancy tests. It is also what makes women sick when they suffer the condition referred to as morning sickness. Now, this hormone is being used as a weight loss product.
It is said that when HCG is taken, the body is able to tap into its supply of extra fat and utilize it as energy. This is what causes the decrease in appetite and eventually the weight loss. The HCG diet consists of an exercise plan, a massive reduction in the daily intake of calories, and the ingestion of HCG drops. Some women on the HCG diet are dropping down to only consuming 500 calories a day. The HCG is reported to suppress the appetite which prevents the feeling of hunger when such drastic changes are made in the diet.
The normal starter kit for the HCG program includes a 26 day supply of the drops, the vitamin B complex, and an HCG diet manual that explains what to eat and how to eat it. The kit also includes diet recipes, HCG drops Protocol, helpful tips, a grocery list, and free support as we've found reviewed at hcgonlinebuy.com. Although the idea of using the pregnancy hormone to lose weight does sound a bit far fetched, the leading HCG retailer claims that its customers have a ninety percent success rate with the substance.

South Wales Guardian Opinion
6:00am Wednesday 8th August 2012 in News
DESPITE earlier negative publicity and the forecasts of the doom merchants, what a spectacle the London Olympics are proving, with each day producing a clutch of GB medals and myriad inspiring stories.
Which all bodes well, you would think, for future sporting stars already looking ahead to the Rio Olympics of 2016 and beyond.
Or does it? Amid the current flagwaving euphoria, it is easy to overlook the fact the Government has conceded that school sports provision is "patchy".
After the Olympics are over the task must surely be to boost participation on the back of Team GB's Olympic success – but how can that be tackled in this age of austerity?
Our swimmers may have flopped, but the performances of Britain's female rowers at Eton Dorney have been phenomenal.
However, the long-running issue of the number of girls who ditch sport once past the age of 16 remains the elephant in the room.
While the old maxim "catching them young" is as true now as it ever was, whether a talented youngster comes under the wing of an inspirational teacher remains a matter of luck.
More than half the gold medals won by British athletes at Beijing were claimed by former private school pupils – yet just seven per cent of the UK population are educated privately.
Claims that this results solely from a non-competitive ethos fostered by leftwing councils are laughable.
Lord Moynihan, head of the British Olympic Association, was right to brand this: "One of the worst statistics in British sport."

Run The Planet is proud to introduce our new affiliate Run.com, the best running route resource on the web. If you are looking for a new Newcastle running route, or want to share your favorite Newcastle running routes with the rest of the word, Run.com is the place to be.
Try using Run.com to find a run, or publish a run of your own.
The waterfront between Speers Point and Warners Bay is a great place to run. Start at Speers Point Park, and follow the foreshore path down as far as Cherry Creek and back. The views of the lake are fantastic. The path is concrete, so to avoid hard impact, run next to the path on grass or dirt wherever you can. There are plenty of places to get water along the way. The return trip is about 9-10 kilometers, and mostly very flat.

If you live in Mylapore, considered to be the hub of the cultural activities in the south Indian city of Chennai, you can now spend time listening to the music of the masters of Carnatic music.
Step into the local branch of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan which is a neighbour of the famed Sri Kapaleeswarar Temple, sign up for a fee and step into a cabin where you can sit down, put on the ear phones, choose from a huge choice of Carnatic music that is digitized and sit back and enjoy it.
The Bhavan's TAG Digital Listening Archives unique facility was launched on Sept. 12 evening by N. Murali, President of The Music Academy here.
For now, you pay two hundred rupees as subscription for the facility which offers over 1000 hours of music of the masters.
And if the facility gets a huge response, it could be expanded.
Officially, this is an initiative by TAG and by the man who heads this business corporation, R T Chari. Chari joined hands with The Music Academy, shared his huge collection of music on all kinds of formats and after digitization, launched the TAG-Music Academy Archives in 2008.
Rasikas, researchers, students and musicians can sign up here and enjoy the recorded music. The Archives have now been shared at about 9 centers, some collleages and some sabhas.
This week, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan launched the facility in what is certainly a central space for rasikas. Mathew Chacko, Managing Director of Precision Informatics (Madras) Pvt. Ltd., Chennai has developed and donated the software.
The digital equipment for the archives have been donated by Ramu Endoments, Chennai.
Chari, an engineering grad and successful entrepreneur caught on to Carnatic music much later and says he was enthralled by it. He went on to organise concerts in Chennai's suburbs where his factory is located, and recorded the music.
In time, many private collectors have donated copies to the TAG-Academy's archives and Chari says the team is at the hard tast job of cleaning the taped music, digitizing it and releasing it.
You can contact the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Chennai at 91-44-2464 3450

Andy Lau, Maggie Q & Sammo Hung. A trio I would have never thought to see on the big screen together, join forces for director Daniel Lee's (Black Mask) epic tale.
AP Photo: Kin Cheung
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I saw the lineup…especially with Maggie Q (Mission Impossible III, Live Free, Die Hard) thrown into the mix. I was quite anxious however to see Andy Lau's (House of Flying Daggers) performance as well as Sammo Hung's, mostly cause I hadn't seen Sammo on screen in quite awhile.
What I got was a great interpretive story that was a cross between 300 (the graphic novel inspired Zack Snyder film) & Glory (the brilliant 1989 film directed by Edward Zwick). Funny enough, the tag line for Glory was "Their innocence. Their heritage. Their lives. Nothing would be spared in the fight for their freedom." That's basically what was delivered by Lee…a artistically painted picture partially depicting the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Luo Guanzhong.
This wasn't Crouching Tiger or House of Flying Daggers. This was grander story with a much more aggressive graphic styling (a la 300).
Now, my complaints..
Ummm, firstly…way not enough Maggie Q at all! I recently stumbled upon an article on NYTimes.com ("Stuck in Asia, Dreaming of Hollywood") discussing about how this film was to be "her most challenging role". Yea, it could have been if she'd been given more to work with. As it stands, we get only a 20min glimpse into what could have been a truly breathtaking villainess being born. Sammo as Luo Ping-An was charismatic in small bits and pieces. Not sure if his stint as Action Director had anything to do with the choice of roles. The sequences were sometimes brilliant and sometimes hard to figure out, with many of the shots being very close shot. However, I have to give him props for the fight scene involving the young Zhao Zilong and Cao. That scene reminded me a lot of old the spaghetti westerns such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or Once Upon a Time in the West. My last "grr"…I wish I'd seen it in the native Mandarin Language, with English Subtitles…cause watching it in English was not great, but that's like most translated films.
If you live for action, love Andy Lau and have even a inkling of what the novel is about, I'd recommend checking it out, especially on the big screen with all the great cinematic effects.

New Year, New Webfetti
Jan 4th
Happy 2011, everyone! I can't believe it's the start of a new decade already…it feels like just yesterday we were all preparing our underground tunnels for Y2K. Ahh, memories. Come to think of it, I think there might still be some snack packs down there!
Anyway, moving on…
I have quite a few resolutions for 2011, but the one I'm most excited about involves YOU! Webfetti is hard at work creating an awesome, new homepage that allows you to find your favorite tools faster and easier than ever! I can't give you a sneak peek at the moment, but as soon as I James Bond my way into the super-secret design room, I might be able to give you all a taste of what's to come. Keep your eyes peeled!
In the mean time, the winter is the perfect season to curl up on your couch with a warm blankie and send your loved ones some 'fetti. While everyone is packing on their winter pounds, you can be giving your Facebook page some flavor with fun Layouts or adding some flair to your friends' walls.
Seriously, how can you resist this?
The answer: You can't! It's the cutest Glitter Graphic ever!
Go grab your laptop and put on those pajamas of yours, because tonight you're spending the night in with Webfetti!
OMG, I'm on the Naughty List
Dec 21st
Has it really been over a week since I've blogged? I am SO sorry I've been MIA…that's so naughty of me! Christmas season always stresses me out…I've been playing Energizer Bunny for the last couple of weeks, just going and going and going.
In between shopping trips, I've been baking batches of cookies. In between baking sessions, I'm at the post office sending Christmas cards. When I'm not at the post office, I'm planning my fabulous and eagerly-talked-about New Year's Eve party. Whew! The list is never ending, but I think I've finally completed my Christmas tasks. Bonus! Also, I've found myself totally glued to Webfetti the last couple of weeks. I'm constantly sending Christmas/Winter 'fetti to my Facebook friends and I can't stop updating my Layout! I'm obsessed!
I wanted to show off some of the chill-tastic winter Smileys and Christmas Graphics that I've been sending the most this holiday season. Brace yourselves…here we go!
Jenni's List of Most-Sent 'Fetti
Head to Webfetti now to seach and send some festive 'fetti! Note: The "Bite Me" Graphic works well for those exes who may or may not be consuming your thoughts this Christmas season. It says "You suck" AND "Happy Holidays," all in one. What Christmas card can do THAT?
So, will you send any of my fave holiday 'fetti to the special people in your life? Let me know which are your ultimate picks!
'Tis the Season to Be Jolly
Dec 10th
I know you haven't heard from me in a while because I've been super busy getting ready for the holidays (sorry!), but today's blog post is more of a bitchin' sesh…online therapy, if you will. Retail therapy is more my thing, but I figure this is worth a shot, right?
I know the holidays can be rough. You're busy dealing with annoying in-laws, hanging decorations, cooking feasts, spending your hard-earned cash on your third cousin's children (who have yet to thank you for last year's presents) and oh, right…working! Stress, stress, stress! I think it's time people start remembering that Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace and joy, instead of pushing, shoving and road rage, hm?
The holiday season is becoming longer and longer. It used to begin in mid-December, but recent years have been pushing December forward little by little. Before you know it, it's the first of November and Santa is at your local mall! WTF?! This Christmas, I'm going to ask you all a favor. For ONE day in the upcoming weeks, I would like you to sit back at home with your family and take it all in. Smell the pine, listen to the children laughing and enjoy the feel of your cozy, snuggly couch. All too often we forget about the most important parts of the season- being thankful for what we have. While you're busy cookin' up a storm and untangling Christmas lights, don't forget about the little things that make the holidays worthwhile.
Wait… How did he get in here? Whoops… (Sorry, but I just had to!)
Anyway, this Christmas be sure to honor the holdiay for what it's worth. Smile at a stranger on the street, help someone carry their shopping bags and shovel old lady Timmerman's driveway so she doesn't throw her hip out on the ice again. Let's all take a breather, send our loved ones some Webfetti and just take a chill pill.
Whew! Now that that's off my chest, I'm going to go finish writing my letter to Santa. Peace out, everybody!
My Backwards Thanksgiving Blessings
Nov 24th
I'm so glad it's almost chow-down time! This year, I have tons to be thankful for, and I plan on celebrating by spending the holiday with my family and friends over good food, good wine and some seriously intense Wii marathons! Last year I must have worked off my entire Thanksgiving meal within an hour by rivaling my sisters in Wii bowling and fencing…SUCH an awesome way to shed those stuffing calories!
Seriously, though, I have a ton to be thankful for this year, including my amazing friends and family, my new digs and my AWESOME job here at Webfetti, just to name a few. But instead of dedicating this Thanksgiving to the people in my life who I thank every year for their constant love and support, I would like to dedicate this holiday to the people in my life who have made me realize just how lucky I am to have those genuinely good people in my life in the first place.
To you, crazy, lying ex-boyfriend who broke my heart. Thank you for teaching me that not everyone appears to be what they seem. Because of this, I am more appreciative of the people in my life who choose to protect my heart and cherish it, than those who don't deserve an ounce of my attention. I've also realized that you can't put all of your eggs in one basket, because the basket might turn out to be a pathological liar and then you'll have no eggs left…and that just sucks.
To you, evil, insensitive co-worker. Thank you for teaching me that beautiful people are not always so beautiful on the inside and that it truly is personality that counts. The fact that you have a sweet boyfriend gives me hope that there really is someone out there for everyone. Also, the fact that I saw you walk out of the restroom with toilet paper on your shoe confirms my belief in karma. Thank you and I wish you the best of luck.
To you, obnoxious gossiping relative who calls way too often. Thank you for teaching me that some things are just better left unsaid. Also, thank you for taking such an interest in my personal life, as I realize you must just be living vicariously through me…which is flattering in a weird way. Also, it's good to know that there really is "one in every family."
Last, but not least,
To you, Facebook friend who feels the need to tag me in horrible, unflattering pictures for the world to see. Thank you for teaching me about the power of the Internet. If it weren't for you and Perez Hilton, I wouldn't be as cautious about how I behave in public. Also, you make me thankful for each and every average picture that ends up online. Oh, and you also make me thankful for Photoshop.
That pretty much concludes my backwards Thanksgiving blessings. I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Turkey Day. Sit back, relax and stuff yo' face. After all, you deserve it.
Get Off Your Tush and Vote!
Nov 2nd
What's up, y'all? Today's blog post is not only about something that I'm passionate about, but it's also something you've been doing your entire life. Whether you realize it or not, you've been VOTING since you were a wee one in your diaper and bib. Did you prefer the pureed peas or the pureed bananas? Did you want superman pull-ups or spiderman pull-ups? Did you pick your nose or your wedgies? Kidding…kidding. But in all seriousness, everyone should exercise their right to go vote today. The best part about our country is that we have a right to express our opinions…so why not vote? Besides, if you don't vote, you have no reason to complain if you don't like decisions that have been made. That's just how it works, kids.
Webfetti is celebrating Election Day by featuring three new Graphics for you to post on your walls to spread the word about voting. Check 'em out…
Well, which Graphic will YOU be rocking today?
Also, speaking of voting, I need your opinions. I think you'll be happy to know, things with me and my new love intetrest are moving along just swimmingly. (He's pretty easy on the eyes, too!) We've been on a handful of dates in the last few weeks, but we're looking for something fresh, new and out of the ordinary for our next date. Which of these fun date ideas seems like the best option for our next, exciting adventure together?
- Cheering on our favorite teams at a hockey or football game (with beer and hot dogs, naturally).
- Teleporting back to Medieval Times with dinner and an interactive show.
- Running around a glow-in-the-dark room playing an intense game of laser tag.
- Picking a random spot on a map and exploring the chosen area for the day.
Think about it and let me know which option you think I should go with. In fact, you can think about it when you're online to VOTE. <– Like what I did there? Hehe.
It's Never Too Soon For Turkey…or Tofurkey. Whatever Floats Your Gravy Boat.
Nov 1st
Happy Monday all of my loyal followers and 'fetti first-timers! I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween weekend! I just LOVE seeing all of the little kids dressed up and running from door-to-door in their adorable (and occasionally disturbing) costumes. Have you ever noticed that there's always that ONE kid who grabs a handful of candy from your bowl and runs away after you specifically said "please take one"? This year for me, it was a boy dressed up as Snooki from The Jersey Shore. And no, I'm not kidding.
Anyway, now that our fond memories of vampires, mummies and bats are officially "so yesterday," we can focus our attention on bigger and better things, like THANKSGIVING! There's nothing I love more than a day completely devoted to four of my favorite f's: family, friends, food and football. Fashion took the day off. I was not at all surprised when I entered the mall this weekend and found that Halloween decorations are no-longer. Christmas and Hanukkah decorations are up, but it seems the shopping mall may have forgotten about Thanksgiving! Instead of having Santa come to the mall for photos, I think we need to get a turkey up in that joint! We can't neglect November holidays!
This past month, our Halloween graphics did SO well, that we want to give you all a head-start sending Thanksgiving loot. Try and send even more than you did for Halloween. The Pilgrims and Indians would be proud. Here are some of our new Thanksgiving graphics, hot off the press for you to gift:
Well, what do you think of our new swag? Do you have any fun plans for Thanksgiving this year? Here at Webfetti, we're already preparing for the joyous occasion, and there's even talk of having a formal, sit-down dinner one night! After all, work family is just an extension of your own family, right? You do spend the majority of your days with your co-workers. If this employee soiree happens, I can be extra thankful since there's a good chance I'll be sitting across from some serious hunks. Let's just hope I don't get stuck breaking the wishbone with the office don juan (cough, cough, Skip Smiley, cough cough).
So tell me, what are YOU thankful for this year?
A Good Scare Does More Than Cure the Hiccups
Oct 27th
Not only is Halloween awesome because it's the one day a year you can dress up as scandalously/ frighteningly/ freakishly/ comfortably as you want without being judged, but it's also the perfect excuse to scare yourself silly. A little adrenaline never hurt anyone, right? A good scare is like a dip on a high roller coaster, dropping from a plane when you're skydiving for the first time (yes, I did that and it was insane), or watching your fave football team tie in the last quarter of the Super Bowl (go G-Men), so I've put together a list of my top ten favorite movies to watch around Halloween that will hopefully scare the hell out of you! (See what I did there…scare the hell out of you, hehe.) Maybe you'll try out some of my recommendations and have yourself a little movie marathon this October 31st.
Note: Some of these flicks might not be appropriate for the kiddies, so have your remotes ready to fast forward OR stick to 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.' Capiche?
10. Hocus Pocus- Who doesn't love a good Disney flick? So fun!
9. The Nightmare Before Christmas- Halloween + Christmas = coolest concept ever.
8. Halloween (naturally)- It's hilarious watching scared babysitters…unless you're the babysitter.
7. The Shining- "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
6. Beetle Juice- It's a horror, comedy and fantasy in one. Oh, and director Tim Burton is at his best!
5. The Exorcist- It'll honestly scare the bejesus out of you…and anyone within a one-mile vicinity.
4. Scream- Courteney Cox Arquette and David Arquette. 'Nuff said…Ohh, the good 'ol days.
3. Saw- It's so gory you might need a puke bag…and that's just awesome.
2. Friday the 13th- People should know camp isn't always about pranks, kumbayas and bonfires.
1. Psycho (The Original)- The shower scene is enough to scare you away from your bathroom for at least a month and it's quite possibly the best horror film of all time…not to mention it's the perfect movie to get extra close and cuddly to your honey
Anyway, don't forget to check out all of Webfetti's spooktacular Halloween graphics! Mwahahaha. Also, I'd love to hear what your favorite Halloween flick is, so shoot me a line!
Meet the Skipster and Then Go Shower…
Oct 26th
What's good, ladies and gents? You all know I'm guilty of being a bit of a gossip, so why would I skimp on the details about our new hire, Skip 'The Skipster' Smiley! Skip will be the face of SmileyCentral, and will work hard to keep you informed about the hottest new apps, news and water cooler gossip…oh, and himself (which seems to be high on his priority list).
He's already made quite an impression on the office staff, and is very…er… interesting. Not to mention, his outfits have most definitely added some zest to the workplace. But don't worry, I won't let anyone steal my thunder around here. We all know who rules this office runway.
I've conducted a mini-interview with our new anchor to give you all a small dose of Skip (trust me, you'll thank me it's not a larger dose). If he needs to be straightened out, though, I think we all know I can train 'em well!
: Skip, what would you say is your most unique quality as the new reporter for SmileyCentral?
: My unmatched charm and ability to woo the ladies with only my natural scent. Next…
: Wow. So, if you could "woo" one lady from history with a breaking news story, who would you choose?
: Has anyone ever told you you're eyes are beautiful? They look like the marble countertops in my kitchen.
: Um, okay. Thanks. So would you say you have a natural ease in front of the cameras?
: Everything about me is au naturale, if you know what I'm sayin'…
: Last question. I heard you also have an interest in freestyling. If you could report one SmileyCentral report to the tune of any rap, what would it be?
: Gangsta's Paradise. I know how to roll wit the homies.
Friend Skip on Facebook here!
Well, there you have it, folks. That's 'The Skipster' in a nutshell! Stay tuned for more news from me (and Skip), and pray that I don't get stuck alone with him in the elevator. Down, tiger! Ohh, the price of beauty…
By the way, do you have a 'Skip' type in your office? I want to know if there are more of these guys out there…haha.
What's Yo' Status?!
Oct 20th
Hey everyone! Today's topic is one that is near and dear to all of us…
Facebook Statuses.
I'm not talking about Facebook relationship statuses, which have (somehow) become the pillar of legitimacy when it comes to declaring yourself single or taken. I'm talking about your actual Facebook statuses, where you complain about your day, brag about your too-good-to-be-true jobs, quote Lady Gaga and inform the public that you're doing laundry in your basement and to come find you if you're not back in five hours. Well, I have good news for you!
With the growing popularity of Smiley Chat for Facebook, Smiley Central has now given you the ability to inject Smileys into your statuses! If you've downloaded the Smiley app on Facebook, you'll now see a little Smiley face appear next to your status bar, like this one:
Once you click on the little happy face, you'll see a box where you can select classic or seasonal Smileys (like the one below, which happens to be decked out for Halloween):
To spruce up your status with a Smiley, simply click on the little guy of your choice and you'll see a code appear in your status bar. Once you post your update, the Smiley you've selected will appear:
How baller is that?!
In case you haven't yet, it's time to get with the program and download this awesome app! Now, when you want to tell the world how much your boyfriend cried while watching Titanic, you can say it with a Smiley!
Well, what do you think?!?!
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not…
Oct 12th
Hey! How's everyone doing on this bright and beautiful Tuesday? I'm all smiles (just in case you were wondering), not only beacause our brand new app, Smiley Chat for Facebook, is getting some AWESOME stats and reviews in the news, but ALSO because I have a new crush who seems too good to be true! Ahhh!
So, Smiley Chat is spreading like wild fire and users are loving it almost as much as I'm digging the hot, new guy on Glee. Yeah, I said it. The blond Glee hottie isn't my crush though…well, I mean…he's not my main crush. I'm writing to you, my loyal Webfetti fans, to get some solid dating advice. Don't steer me wrong! I have a few questions that I would like answered before I proceed to overthink this potential relationship (hehe). I may be flirtatious and outgoing, but I want to make sure I don't do anything to sabotage my love connection now that he seems to be interested back! Keep your fingers crossed!
First and foremost, how long is it appropriate to "date" before things become Facebook official? 3 days? 3 weeks? 3 months? Help me out!
Secondly, I can't cook! What if my crush (who we shall call "Ringo" until I'm allowed to disclose this important information to the public) is a great chef, and the most extravagant delicacy I can make is Easy Mac? And no, I'm not kidding…
Also, Halloween is coming up! YAY! This spooktacular holiday is one of my fave times of year, so aside from sending "Ringo" the most adorable Halloween Graphics from Webfetti, should I ask him to come to a costume party with me?
Maybe I should just send him this…
Is that too forward?!? Haha.
Anyway, I'd love to hear what you all think of a) Smiley Chat for Facebook and b) my dating crisis. Send me your thoughts and be honest! Until next time, peace, love and happiness!

Pastor Joseph Brown was born in 1983, the son of Pastor and Mrs. Larry Brown. He was raised in a Christian home from the time he was an infant. He grew up attending the Marion Avenue Baptist Church. Joseph was saved at the age of six and during his Junior year of high school he surrendered to God's calling to preach.
After graduating from High school, he attended Oklahoma Baptist College. Upon entering his second year of college he enrolled in Hyles-Anderson College where he would complete his Bachelor of Science Degree in May of 2006. Soon after he graduated from college he was ordained into the ministry as a preacher of the gospel.
Joseph joined the staff at Marion Avenue while attending college. He served as our Assistant Pastor for seven years. Joseph's father, Pastor Larry Brown, resigned the pastorate to go into full time evangelism in March of 2011. In July of 2011, the church membership overwhelmingly voted Joseph in as our new pastor. Pastor Joseph has a vision for Southeast Iowa, and for the world. In addition to the pastorate, He is the founder of the Our Time Youth Conference which reaches hundreds of young people for Christ. He has a tremendous burden for the next generation. We are thrilled that God led him to this ministry.
Pastor Joseph Brown and his wife Charity have one son, Aaron and one daughter, Hannah.

The Midland Interlopers
Britain's railways were Nationalised in 1947, and the old London Extension became part of British Railways' Eastern Region. During this time, the former LNER locomotives maintained the services but, when the Midland Region took control in the late 1950's, the LNER types were replaced by ex-LMS designs. The most prolific of these was Sir William Stanier's 'Black 5' 4-6-0's, which were the LMS equivalent of the Gresley V2 or the Thompson B1. Throughout the later years of the London Extension, the Black 5's (so named because they were of the Class 5 power rating and always painted black) handled the greater percent of trains on the line until services were withdrawn in 1966. This example is No. 45062, heading a football special through Whetstone on 25th May 1963. Ex-LMS Black 5, No. 44984, leaves Leicester Central on the last through working to Marylebone - the 17.15 from Nottingham on the 3rd September 1966. To honour the occasion, a wreath was hung on the front of the locomotive's smokebox. This locomotive was a last minute replacement for another class member, hence No. 44984 was in a filthy external condition. However, it kept to time to London and also on the last working out of Marylebone to Manchester later that night. Although not regular performers on the London Extension like the Black 5's, Stanier's 5XP 'Jubilee' express passenger 4-6-0's did make several appearances on the line for special trains. The Jubilee's were William Stanier's development of Henry Fowler's 'Patriot' 4-6-0's, and were once the top link locomotives of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). The Jubilee seen to the right is British Railways No. 45622, NYASALAND. The photograph shows the locomotive at the head of a train, loaded with football fans full of anticipation, as it headed south through Whetstone to the 1963 F. A. Cup final between Manchester United and Leicester City. The Leicester fans were to be disappointed as Manchester United won 3-1 - Dennis Law scoring one of their goals.
