A new Bupa report highlights the ways in which dance can contribute to the emotional and physical wellbeing of over-65s, and urges policy makers to pay special attention to dance when looking at ways to promote fitness in older people.
The report shows how dancing is especially beneficial in improving the health and fitness of older people beyond other types of exercise. As well as improving coordination, reaction times, muscle endurance, flexibility, gait and strength - which all reduce the risk of falls in older people - it is proven to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of conditions as diverse as dementia, arthritis and Parkinson's disease. It also carries with it a social element that can help improve confidence and reduce isolation.

In Brief
- Supplies of wind and solar energy on accessible land dwarf the energy consumed by people around the globe.
- The authors' plan calls for 3.8 million large wind turbines, 90,000 solar plants, and numerous geothermal, tidal and rooftop photovoltaic installations worldwide.
- The cost of generating and transmitting power would be less than the projected cost per kilowatt-hour for fossil-fuel and nuclear power.
- Shortages of a few specialty materials, along with lack of political will, loom as the greatest obstacles.

In December leaders from around the world will meet in Copenhagen to try to agree on cutting back greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come. The most effective step to implement that goal would be a massive shift away from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy sources. If leaders can have confidence that such a transformation is possible, they might commit to an historic agreement. We think they can.
A year ago former vice president Al Gore threw down a gauntlet: to repower America with 100 percent carbon-free electricity within 10 years. As the two of us started to evaluate the feasibility of such a change, we took on an even larger challenge: to determine how 100 percent of the world's energy, for all purposes, could be supplied by wind, water and solar resources, by as early as 2030. Our plan is presented here.
Scientists have been building to this moment for at least a decade, analyzing various pieces of the challenge. Most recently, a 2009 Stanford University study ranked energy systems according to their impacts on global warming, pollution, water supply, land use, wildlife and other concerns. The very best options were wind, solar, geothermal, tidal and hydroelectric power—all of which are driven by wind, water or sunlight (referred to as WWS). Nuclear power, coal with carbon capture, and ethanol were all poorer options, as were oil and natural gas. The study also found that battery-electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles recharged by WWS options would largely eliminate pollution from the transportation sector.
Our plan calls for millions of wind turbines, water machines and solar installations. The numbers are large, but the scale is not an insurmountable hurdle; society has achieved massive transformations before. During World War II, the U.S. retooled automobile factories to produce 300,000 aircraft, and other countries produced 486,000 more. In 1956 the U.S. began building the Interstate Highway System, which after 35 years extended for 47,000 miles, changing commerce and society.
Is it feasible to transform the world's energy systems? Could it be accomplished in two decades? The answers depend on the technologies chosen, the availability of critical materials, and economic and political factors.
Clean Technologies Only
Renewable energy comes from enticing sources: wind, which also produces waves; water, which includes hydroelectric, tidal and geothermal energy (water heated by hot underground rock); and sun, which includes photovoltaics and solar power plants that focus sunlight to heat a fluid that drives a turbine to generate electricity. Our plan includes only technologies that work or are close to working today on a large scale, rather than those that may exist 20 or 30 years from now.
To ensure that our system remains clean, we consider only technologies that have near-zero emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle, including construction, operation and decommissioning. For example, when burned in vehicles, even the most ecologically acceptable sources of ethanol create air pollution that will cause the same mortality level as when gasoline is burned. Nuclear power results in up to 25 times more carbon emissions than wind energy, when reactor construction and uranium refining and transport are considered. Carbon capture and sequestration technology can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants but will increase air pollutants and will extend all the other deleterious effects of coal mining, transport and processing, because more coal must be burned to power the capture and storage steps. Similarly, we consider only technologies that do not present significant waste disposal or terrorism risks.

Trojan Women will open this weekend, February 28 through March 3, at the Rockford College Cheek Theatre located at 5050 East State Street, Rockford, Ill. The play will run Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Euripides's play follows the fates of the women of Troy after their city has been sacked, their husbands killed, and as their remaining families are about to be taken away as slaves. However, it begins with the gods Athena and Poseidon discussing ways to punish the Greek armies because they condoned Ajax the Lesser for dragging Cassandra away from Apollo's temple. What follows shows how much the Trojan women have suffered as their grief is compounded when the Greeks dole out additional deaths and divide their share of women.
Adult tickets are $10, while seniors and students are $7. Group rates are also available. For tickets and more information, contact the Box Office at 815-226-4100.

Inflammatory changes—including microgliosis, astrocytosis, complement activation, cytokine elevation, and acute phase protein changes—are thought to represent, at least in part, a response to the early accumulation of Aβ1-42 in the AD brain [3-6]. It appears that Aβ or its fibrillated form is recognized in the CNS as a molecule that needs to be cleared and provokes activation of microglia and astrocytes.
Immunotherapy aimed at Aβ vaccination in AD transgenic mice raised unprecedented hopes for an effective treatment of AD. On the efficacy side, there is clear evidence that Aβ immunization in mice induces a clearance of Aβ plaques and improves associated cognitive disturbances [7-13]. It appears that the induction of antibodies to Aβ plays the primary role in the vaccine-mediated clearance of Aβ from the brain, as passive transfer of Aβ antibodies has shown similar beneficial neuropathological effects [13].
The recent clinical trials of AD immunotherapy failed because of unexpected neuroinflammation, and a major concern may be attributed to potential proinflammatory consequences following Aβ immunization, which may lead to overactivation of microglia, even leading to acceleration of neurodegeneration.
Brain inflammation causes inhibition of neurogenesis both in the basal continuous formation of new neurons in the intact hippocampal formation and in the increased neurogenesis in response to a brain insult. The impairment of neurogenesis depends on the degree of microglia activation, irrespective of whether there is damage or not in the surrounding tissue. While neurogenesis appears to be increased in the brains of patients with AD, progressive cell loss is still observed [14,15]. This may be due to the disruptive micro environment to neurogenesis in the AD brain which may be toxic to new neurons [15].
The beneficial effect of immunotherapy on Aβ clearance could be exploited, avoiding inflammation by controlling microglial activation and supporting neurogenesis. This could be prominent amongst those factors that determine whether immune therapy will be successful as a treatment for AD patients [16].
Plaque clearance as a result of immunotherapy may depend on multiple mechanisms, one involving direct interaction of antibodies, or F(ab')2 fragments, with the deposits resulting in disaggregation, and another involving cell-mediated clearance, possibly involving Fc receptor activation. The two mechanisms may occur independently, or may operate in tandem, with cellular removal of amyloid-β after disaggregation [17].
However, Fc regions of antibody-antigen complexes, amplified by cellular mediators and activated complement, via Fc receptors (FcR), may initiate the inflammatory response [18].
No data are available so far on the quantitative decrease of Aβ concentration necessary to reduce Aβ deposition and the amount of antibodies required for efficient immunotherapy which might at the same time avoid additional inflammation.
Modulation of the FcR pathway may be an efficient practical therapeutic approach for controlling autoantibody-mediated inflammation induced by self-antigens or antibodies in immunotherapeutic strategies for treatment of AD. One of these is the administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), which has well-recognized antiinflammatory activities independent of the antigen-specific effect [19].
Another approach may be passive immunization with antibodies devoid of Fc, which may prevent overactivation of microglia and, thus, attenuation of autoantibody-triggered neuroinflammation. The ability of single-chain antibody 508F(Fv) to dissolve already formed Aβ fibrils suggests that only the antigen-binding site of the antibodies (Fab) was involved in modulation of β amyloid conformation and not the Fc region [20]. Studies with F(ab')2 fragments of anti-Aβ antibodies using in-vivo topical application demonstrated that the mechanism does not require Fc receptor-mediated cellular activation in plaque clearance by immunotherapy [21].
To definitively ascertain the role of microglial FcR in Aβ immunotherapies, APP Tg2576 mice bred into FcR-/- mice were used [22]. Data show that microglia isolated from FcR γ-/- mice exhibit almost no uptake of anti-Aβ immune complexes via FcR. Aggregated Aβ was readily scavenged by both FcR-γ+/+ and FcR-γ-/- microglia in the absence of anti-Aβ. Thus, there did not appear to be any defects in the non-FcR-mediated Aβ uptake by microglia in the FcR-γ-/- mice [22].
Fc receptors also interact bidirectionally with complement receptor proteins [23-27]. Complement activation in AD brain has been proposed to be especially crucial to the phenomenon of "bystander lysis," in which healthy neuronal tissue adjacent to plaques is thought to undergo nonspecific injury and degeneration [28,29].
Proinflammatory cytokines may be involved in the interaction of Fc receptors and complement biosynthesis, as IL-6, shown to modulate production of both C3 and C9 complement proteins following immune stimulation [18,23-25]. C9 is an integral member of membrane attack complex, which is the mechanism for complement-mediated cell lysis, raising the possibility that activation of Fc receptors may very well clear Aβ, but might drastically increase local inflammation and neuronal injury in the vicinity of Aβ plaques in the process [3]. Furthermore, in a recent paper, Kemermann and Neumann [26] claim that IL-6 is interfering with the production of new neurons, since it diverts neuronal progenitor cells to become astrocytes rather than neurons.
It is believed that the discovery that the diseased adult human brain is capable of neurogenesis in response to neuronal loss will be of major relevance for development of therapeutic approaches in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
It is tempting to believe that the beneficial effect of the immunotherapy might stem less from alleviation of the toxic agent and more so from promotion and/or restoration of neurogenesis, all resulting in a normal number of functioning neurons.

Style on the Run
By Shopping Guru
from Binbrook Ontario
Quality plus. Comfy and stylish to say the least. Always tempted to buy a pair for indoor and finally did. I bought the brown,which is a rich chocolate and fit me fine. Bought a half size down and they are a good fit. I ran into someone that had a pair for years ,a little beat up,but she can't take them off. I am assuming that mine will last that long. Really like the choice of colours. I love brown.
Beautiful shoes
By Georgian
from Toronto
Beautiful shoe and very comfortable. I purchased the copper ones - suede is very soft, like butter. The only problem I have with them is the colour coming off on my socks.
Great look, ok fit
By Ruby Rose
from Barrie
This is a good looking shoe. I was wanting something that just skimmed my ankles so as to wear with skinny jeans and these fit the bill.Speaking of fit... I found them to be a bit too big. I am a solid 7 and these feel a bit too roomy, even with thick socks. I think the 6 would be too small though.
Lovely shoes
By Rosemary
from Burlington, Ontario
I loved these when I put them on my feet. I wear a size 8 and have a wide foot and they fit me perfectly. When I stood up to walk it was a different story, I could not keep my balance in them. Had to hold on to the wall in order to,walk. I think it was the fact that there was no support so very reluctantly I sent them back. They still deserve a five.

from sask
The tie broke right as soon as I took them out of the box. THinking that Shopping channel had probably given me some reject pair ... that someone else had wrecked and sent back. I like the slipper.... I fixed the tie myself and will never buy another thing from the Shopping Channel ever again. The snow owl boots...they sent the wrong ones and now that winter is here they are taking there sweet time with the exchange I sent my return very quickly they've had it for over a week and a half and still have not processed my exchange I will never shop shopping channel again.Manitoba Mukluks I will buy from your site direct.

Love them!!!!
By Kim
from Ontario
These are by far the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever put on my feet! It feels like you are not even wearing them they are so light and soft. I would recommend them to anyone. I am sure this will just be the first of many pairs I own now. This pair is super soft so they stretch a bit I would suggest buying a half size too small as I feel mine fit a little big now that I have worn them. Everywhere I go people ask me where I got them. And I think it is wonderful that we are supporting a great cause at the same time. Buy them you will not regret it!!
too short and narrow
By miss shop alot
from Vancouver Island
I am so disappointed. 2 different styles turned out to be way to narrow and too short. I ordered 8 which is my shoe size and they were VERY VERY tight and too short. These actually made my feet tingle they were so small fitting and the other pair I could not even get my foot into:( I thought moccasins and mukluks would be made a bit wider for comfort. Sadly I sent them back and wasted shipping and return fees for 2 pairs in different styles. I will probably try a style from Manitobah Mukluks that are made right here in Canada to see if I can get a proper fit as the materials and sole are really nice. Sorry to give a 1 star.

from Ajax, Ontario
I waited and waited for a year before finally ordering from this line. I was excited to try these Paddle mukluks. I ordered the copper colour, size 7. When they arrived (late - very late), they were not a nice spicy copper colour as depicted in the picture. They were more of a muddy brown. There was a bit of a mark I(like a bald spot in the suede) right on the top of one shoe. The laces would not stay done up, even when I was just sitting on the couch and not walking anywhere. And the left shoe was much looser than the right. All in all, quite disappointed after waiting for a year to try this brand. I returned the shoes and will not be ordering from this line again.
Comfort that looks Great!!
By Melinda
from Torrance, Ontario
I am so glad I saw these on TSC when I did. I was able to afford them by paying in installments! They are so comfortable to wear and they look great.
Nice and comfortable
By magpie
from Edmonton Alberta
These are very soft suede and comfortable. They fit true to size but not sure they would fit someone with a wider foot. Unfortunately the tie was far too long and wouldn't stay tied up. Within 4 minutes of doing them up and walking around the house it was undone and I was tripping on it. Sent them back since I knew I wouldn't wear them due to this frustrating issue. Very nice quality though.

Is it Time to Change Your Weight Lifting Routine
Variety is an important part of life, particularly when it comes to exercise and reaching training goals. A weight lifting routine should never remain stagnant, even if the goal is maintaining muscle strength. When the body gets used to the routine, it is time to make a few changes to keep the muscles strong, flexible and capable of keeping up with individual goals.
Body Adaptations:
A key reason behind changing a workout routine is the adaptability of the human body. The only way to build muscle strength, reach weight loss goals or keep the body in top shape is regular exercise that changes when the body starts adapting to the routine.
The human body is designed to adapt quickly to conditions around it, including the use of energy for exercise. When a weight lifting routine is pursued too long, the body will adapt and stop making the same gains that were seen previously.
When the body adapts to the current weight lifting routine, weight loss will reach a plateau and the muscles will not strengthen at the same rate. As a result, it is not possible to continue into a state of growth or obtain the same benefits to the body.
Boredom Consideration:
While the main reason to change up a weight lifting routine is the plateau, it is also important to consider the possibility of developing boredom. A routine that follows the same number of sets, the same repetitions, the same weight and the same exact pattern will eventually become boring.
When the exercise becomes boring, it is possible to lose interest in getting involved from the beginning. Over time, that lack of interest in exercising will result in skipping, skimping and ultimately losing muscle mass that requires starting from the beginning.
It is important to regularly make changes to ensure the routine does not become boring. Even small changes like alternating a new exercise into the mix will help reduce the risk of growing boredom throughout the routine.
Timing to Change Routines:
While every individual is different, a general rule of thumb to follow is changing the routine every eight to 12 weeks. Those who are new to exercise can make changes and adjustments to the routine every 12 weeks while fit individuals will want to make adjustments every eight weeks to maximize the potential growth, flexibility and weight loss results.
Despite the general rule, it is important to listen to the needs of the body. If 12 weeks have passed and the body is still sore from the routine, then it is best to wait longer before making any changes. Sore muscles are a sign that the body is still struggling to adapt to the exercises. Ideally, soreness should reduce each week until the exercises seem easy.
When the exercises seem easy, it is time to increase the weight, add more repetitions or change to a completely new exercise that works the same muscles. The change will allow the muscles to work more effectively and ensures that a plateau is avoided.
Importance of Changing Routines:
Weight lifting is an important part of maintaining a healthy body, but it is still important to change the routine on a regular basis. Not only it is possible to reach a plateau, but the impact on health will reduce when the body adapts to the current exercise routine.
It is important to change the lifting exercises on a regular basis to get the maximum results and reach personal goals. Whether the goal is building muscle, increasing flexibility or even losing weight, it is important to avoid a plateau that prevents making strides toward a personal goal.
Changing a routine in exercise is the key to reaching for better health. The body needs to make constant improvements and changes to avoid getting stuck and not making any further progress. The best way to manage the routine is constantly making small changes and regularly adjusting for larger changes. Maximizing the results is about adjustments and regular changes that prevent adaptation to the exercises.

Since I have never been a smoker, I have never been interested in anything that had something to do with smoking. However, unlike some people, I never made smokers feel bad about their habit. You know those people that start coughing or start doing something else in order to show just how much smoking bothers them, well I was never one of them. I always thought that those kinds of gestures were rude and unnecessary.
However, when I found myself one day in an airplane sitting next to a guy who had a cigarette in his hand, I have to admit that I was relived because smoking was banned in an airplane. I really didn`t want to sit next to someone who would create a cloud of smoke around me. You can imagine my surprise and how much I was confused when he put the cigarette in his mouth and started smoking. The very first thing that I noticed was that it didn`t smell at all, but that didn`t help me figure out what was going on.
Not wanting to be rude, I patiently waited for a flight attendant to see him and tell him to put it out. However, when she saw him, she said nothing and I was confused, to say the least. I thought that she didn`t see him after all and I was sure that she will say something the next time. When she didn`t, it occurred to me that I was probably missing something.
I decided to ask the man about it directly. Since I was always a bit of a shy kind of guy, I was never really good at starting a conversation, so I hesitated a lot. And I guess that the men noticed because he turned to me and asked what I was so nervous about. When I told him that I had no idea why his cigarette did not smell and why the flight attendant didn`t say anything to him, he told me that what he was using was an electronic cigarette that was perfectly safe for him and the people around him. It did not smell because the thing that looked like smoke was actually vapor.
For someone that was not interested in smoking, it turned out that I was more than interested in this pretend smoking. I was fascinated and the idea of having different flavors to choose from really appealed to me. The more I listened about electronic cigarettes, the more interested I was in getting one and giving it a try. Of course, the man offered me to try his out, but I thought that that would be rude.
As soon as I got home, I went online and found out that all the things that the man said about them were true. I was determined to get my own and see what it was all about. Of course, it took me quite some time to eventually choose the flavor and the style, but I eventually went for a pen-style cigarette with nicotine free vanilla flavored cartridge.
Now, I don`t go anywhere without my e-cigarette and I actually enjoy it when people get confused just like I was confused. I guess that there are still a lot of people who haven`t heard about electronic cigarettes, but if I were to judge these devices on the basis of how enjoyable they are, I think that soon, more and more people might start using them. They are really as great as they look.

Angels Over Altus
A formation of Navy Blue Angel F/A-18 Hornets from Naval Air Station Pensacola (Florida) follow a KC-135 Stratotanker from Altus Air Force Base on the way to Grand Juction, Colorado, to perform in the First Mountain West Airshow. The Blue Angels exhibition team—named by its pilots after a Manhattan nightclub—turned 65 this year. The team has flown more than 10 different aircraft in its history, starting with four Grumman F6F-5 Hellcats flown in the "diamond" formation. Today, the squadron flies six modified F/A-18s. For more photographs from the September 21st airshow, see the Altus Air Force Base Web site.

(Monday, May 13, 2013) For its price, it does stand up to the test. I tried it with & without a sweetener. Both times the flavor was amazing. Recommended for anyone looking to try something a little unique. Golden Monkey Superior Organic (Thursday, January 31, 2013) Delicioso!!! This tea has replaced my morning coffee!!! Golden Monkey simply the best tea! (Monday, December 10, 2012) The name is exactly what it is; Golden Monkey Superior Organic. A long time ago I got both Teavana and teas etc Golden Monkey to see the difference; the difference is clear from the second you open the bag, teas etc Golden Monkey smells beautifully and makes a more beautiful brew in all respects. This tea has just the right level of boldness - roasted, honey peach - and caffeine, but it feels that there is something beyond the caffeine that is tickling my brain. Golden Monkey (Saturday, December 08, 2012) This is a family favorite: clear, earthy flavor and no bitterness whatsoever. Can't say I've noticed any caffeine jitters--just delicious. Golden Monkey (Monday, May 07, 2012) I really enjoy this tea. This tea helped me quit coffee. It gave me the energy and focus I was looking for and the taste was good as well. It's good (Monday, April 30, 2012) Sweet and intoxicating. I don't know if I stored it wrong, but it seemed to get moldy after a while. Organic Golden Monkey Superior (Wednesday, March 14, 2012) This tea tastes great...I drink it with milk. I have to be careful as to what pot size I make for myself. I made a 8 cup pot the first time I bought it and WOW, talk about the caffeine jitters! So watch out-it packs a punch. You Starbucks folks with love it. Occasional (Saturday, March 03, 2012) Not your regular black tea; more green influence. Mild but distinct flavor. Unique (Friday, February 03, 2012) A well balanced flavor that sticks to your tongue.

It has become my first cup every morning. It has a nice balanced flavour from first to last sip. best yin/yang (Tuesday, November 15, 2011) This is the smoothest of black style teas. no need to add sweetener it has a slight natural sweetness to the nose and taste. I can't say I would ever switch teas ! I can't start my day without this tea (Wednesday, September 14, 2011) I've tried other Golden Monkey tea, but none compare to this one. It's easy to brew, hard to oversteep, great for company, and tastes wonderful! Depending on leaf quantity and brew time it can be sweet and mellow, or bold with a sweet aftertaste. I love it! fantastic (Friday, September 02, 2011) this is a fantastic tea smooth and flavorful Golden Monkey (Monday, July 11, 2011) This was one of the free samples that I requested with a recent order. I am typically bad about trying them sticking with my old favorites. But yesterday I needed a pick me up and so I decided to live on the edge! I was pleasantly surprised at the smoothness of this combination and enjoyed it so much I brewed a second cup on the spot! Now I am adding this to my favorites list. Excellent! (Wednesday, May 18, 2011) A black tea that's a lot like an oolong with a decent caffiene kick. Nice amber color, herbal/citrus aroma. Flavor is smooth, no astringency. my version of a daily cup of joe (Tuesday, May 17, 2011) Great tea by itself sweet or unsweetened. Great for dessert if you add 1 tsp of peppermint to the pot. Shear Bliss (Friday, May 13, 2011) Great flavor, no astringency. Good for multiple steepings. I will definitely order more of this. Glad I tried it! AWESOME BLACK GOLD (Monday, May 02, 2011) THIS TEA IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BLACKS FROM THE YUNNAN GOLD REGION; SMOOTH AND FLAVORFUL. Bold (Saturday, March 12, 2011) This tea has a very bold flavor. Not my favorite black tea. Very nice (Wednesday, January 26, 2011) Have really enjoyed this tea. A very nice black tea flavor. Not too strong, but just perfect! Thanks so much! Golden Monkey superior organic tea (Monday, January 17, 2011) This tea has a very strong but not bitter taste to it. I would definitely recommend this tea to everyone because this is very enjoyable and full of flavor tea. ok (Tuesday, January 11, 2011) its a littel bitter but good with honey. Golden Monkey (Wednesday, October 20, 2010) This is my FAVORITE tea. It gives me that extra kick in the morning to get me going. The flavor is full bodied and savory. The aroma is wonderful. Recommend to any tea drinker Golden Monkey (Wednesday, September 08, 2010) This is the best black tea I have ever drank, not that I have drank that much, mind you, but it is delicious. Great depth (Thursday, August 19, 2010) This tea is wonderful, the first bit of flavor is multi-layered and then finishes smoothly, no astringency, no bite, just a nice ending, inviting you to take another sip! Golden Monkey the best (Monday, August 09, 2010) This is the best black tea I have ever tasted. It is naturally sweet and fantastic in the morning. Golden Monkey the best (Saturday, July 24, 2010) this golden monkey is the best black tea i have ever tasted. it is fabulous in the morning or evening.will definitely order more Bold, smooth and sometimes milky (Monday, May 31, 2010) The first steep is bold, smooth and stout a great wake-up type tea. Honestly though, I look forward to the 2nd and 3rd steeps most on this one. I can get some serious milkiness from those steeps. Fantastic tea. My Every Day Tea (Friday, April 02, 2010) This is, hands down, my favorite tea, and is how I start every morning. It's smooth, mellow and light enough for daily consumption. Love it! Pretty Good Golden Monkey (Wednesday, March 31, 2010) This is a nice soothing tea with no bitterness it's a very laid back version of the Golden Monkey that I usually drink. Smooth yet Strong (Saturday, February 27, 2010) Golden Monkey organic is easily my favorite tea. Not only is it extremely smooth, but also has just the right amount of caffeine to keep you awake throughout the day. Also, even if you allow the leaves to seep for a long while, the tea never becomes bitter. I would definitely recommend it to everyone! Golden Monkey (Saturday, February 27, 2010) Love this one. It can stand a little longer steep...it won't get bitter...just to enhance the lovely flavor. What a great tea (Monday, February 15, 2010) I received this tea as a sample and just love the flavor. One of my favorites! Thanks. a different kind of black tea (Wednesday, February 03, 2010) this is definitely something different! it's strong like a regular black tea, but has a very good quirky taste to it Monkey Man (Monday, January 25, 2010) This tea was sent as a sample; it was REALLY great. It will now be "in stock" in my tea cabinet. A Great find. A new favorite (Friday, January 22, 2010) Fragrant, flavorful, no bite. Savor this tea just by itself, or better yet, with a piece of chocolate. Slightly Bitter (Thursday, January 14, 2010) This one was a good tea, but slightly bitter.. the rich golden color was nice though, and the tea was very robust. Golden Monkey (Tuesday, December 29, 2009) Nice tea for something different...soothing Excellent (Friday, December 11, 2009) I received this tea as a sample. Very glad I did. This is a robust tea that is not bitter. Very enjoyable. Has a rich taste. Best Tea (Wednesday, December 02, 2009) Out of the ten or so teas I ordered, this one was the best. It has a robust, complex flavor that is surely not to disappoint. A great black tea (Saturday, November 21, 2009) Whenever I want a cup of black tea, this is my hands down favorite. Best tea I've ever tasted (Tuesday, October 13, 2009) I cannot eat chocolate -- it gives me a migraine -- so I brew this tea really strong (4-5 t. per 8 oz of water) and then drink it with a small amount of sugar and light cream (not milk). It is sublime! Even after steeping for an hour it is never bitter and the chocolte overtones have made it easier for me to give up one of my favorite foods. Although my version looks more like coffee, and purists will argue that I'm not experiencing the true nature of the tea, I adore it. Disappointing (Sunday, October 04, 2009) Much much much too mild for our taste - mild to the point of lacking flavor. With so many good teas to choose from, don't pick this one. Wonderful (Sunday, September 20, 2009) This must be the first truly high quality tea that I have tried, because it is in a class by itself. No other black tea that I've had can compare. Incredibly smooth, never bitter, and with a beautiful rich aroma. Worth the extra money. WOW (Monday, September 07, 2009) im not sure if this is the best tea i ever had,but when i think of the best tea i ever had , this is one of the first that i would think about, its so captivating, it takes you through various stages, first the leaf smell then when brewing,then the calm smooth flavour, very nice tea.everybody should try this.thanks. OMG! This is so good! (Wednesday, July 15, 2009) For the past year I have been buying my Golden Monkey from another source but tried this one when I decided to switch to an organic. This tea is SO good -- MILES BETTER than the non-organic that I had been buying. Even after steeping for over an hour, it's still delicious with no bitterness. A subtle black tea? yes (Sunday, July 12, 2009) I really like this tea. It has subtle and wonderful flavor tones that I don't usually find in a "black tea." The best tea (Tuesday, July 07, 2009) Thank you teasetc.com for the free sample of Golden Monkey tea. It is really phenominal. I had the first cup today and this tea will be on my next order with you. Worth every penny! (Friday, May 22, 2009) This black tea is a little more expensive than some, but you definitely get what you pay for! Normally I like cream and sugar in my black teas, but this one is absolutely delicious on its own! Golden Monkey (Tuesday, March 31, 2009) This is my favorite black tea. Golden Monkey is rich and fragrant, and satisfying. I usually enjoy this tea in the afternoon with milk and honey. If I have time I'll make a pot in the morning too! wonderful! (Monday, March 30, 2009) The aroma of both leaf and cup is so fine... the taste is good, too, mind; very smooth. But it is the aroma that really wins me over. best yet (Thursday, March 19, 2009) Love this tea. best black tea I,ve had yet. Great original tea flavor. I dream of Golden Monkey (Saturday, March 14, 2009) This is an incredible tea. I really didn't know what to expect when I got my sample, but this is a mind blowing black tea. I was a Darjeeling, Assam and Lapsang freak, but this tea will have to be added to the list, someplace near the top. Thank you! Organic Golden Monkey (Sunday, March 08, 2009) This tea is superb. Beautiful golden, twisted leaves brew up to a rich and flavorful cup that makes you feel as if it is imbuing you with the strength of warriors. And did I say it tastes really, really good? Smooth and Flavorful (Tuesday, February 03, 2009) I really enjoy black teas, but tend to stick to the basics such as English Breakfast. I tried the Golden Monkey and am pleasantly surprised!The Golden Monkey has a wonderful smell in the bag that follows through into the cup! The tea is smooth with a steady taste. Love it! This tea is my favorite (Monday, December 15, 2008) I really enjoy this tea. It is never bitter. The color is a lovely golden color and I like to watch it brew in my clear travel mug. My favorite tea so far! organic golden money (Sunday, March 09, 2008) I love this tea! Very smooth and not at all bitter, even with a little overbrewing. Four minutes makes the perfect pot for me. Best black tea ever (Tuesday, February 20, 2007) This by far is the best black tea I've ever had. It has a lingeing finish that lures you into wanting more. |

Heart disease can take many forms, but the most common types are listed here. In the video below, Dr. Glenn Barnhart, medical director of Swedish Heart & Vascular Institute, provides an overview of cornary artery disease.
Coronary artery disease
This most common type of heart disease occurs when a thick, fatty substance called plaque builds up inside the arteries, making it hard for blood to flow and carry oxygen to the heart.
Heart-muscle damage
Damage to the heart muscle reduces its pumping power and allows blood and other fluids to back up and circulate in other parts of the body. The heart is at risk of becoming oxygen-deprived.
Rhythm disorders
When something happens to disturb the heart's internal electrical signal, it can't pump the way it should. It may beat too fast or too slow, both of which can lead to cardiac problems.
Valve abnormalities
Four valves control the direction and flow of blood as it enters and leaves the heart. Valve disease keeps the valve from opening and closing the way it should. A narrowed valve blocks the normal flow of blood, forcing the heart to work harder to force the blood through. In a leaky valve, some of the blood leaks backward, which also affects blood flow.

-- are ramping up his bush helps students continue getting low interest loans the president is calling on congress to stop rates from doubling the nearly 7% in July.
Well -- student loan debt topping a trillion.
Dollars my next guest says maybe time to turn the spigot off.
Friedman foundation president CEO Robert and Lowe joins us now Robert good to see -- -- coming it's a seven.
Point four million students would be affected immediately if these rates -- it would happen by the way in July right before the elections so.
President Obama once those -- that's one of the big reasons he's pushing for this now.
Absolutely you know it's really tragic they were politicizing initiative so important and must also be very clear road they're here.
We're not talking about a doubling of the rates the rates were reduced in 2007 to 3.4 percent from six point 8%.
All the we're talking about as those rates going back to the 2007 -- which by the way were said by com.
-- anyway but you don't have a lot of -- setting when one kind of governments have programs starts it's so hard to get rid of this just shows that we've all known that this is an example by the way.
I don't -- -- let Republicans off the hook either because they want to -- two point or seven point four million votes as well so they are unlikely to stand in the way of these these rates staying where they are artificially low correct.
Well that's exactly right you know look.
We've got a situation where the the rates are fixed by congress.
The loans are provided by congress you have a monopoly situation you know.
We live -- one -- most -- societies in the world except when it comes to education.
Now why shouldn't maybe there's a simple explanation -- as you can -- -- but.
Why shouldn't colleges.
He called in to for some kind of responsibility here I mean why is it always fall on the taxpayer if a guy doesn't pay off his loans to the -- he's -- to.
Don't colleges have a certain amount responsibly for get -- money back.
Lastly colleges should be more responsible individuals should be more responsible but really this is coming about because the federal government is basically giving free money.
It's giving yours and my money and it's gonna continue to do so for the dream of having everyone go to college education and that's great.
But if you look at it -- 40% of the kids -- are going to college don't get their bachelor's degree in six years.
We have no metrics on how this money's being spent.
You know what if we were to say okay you can get a college loan at 3.4 percent but only if you graduate in four years or did you graduate in five years.
For three years to measuring three years -- rates 2%.
That -- -- there's lots of ways to -- satisfies this incentives work out as it is we're creating a new generation indebted to the government right.
That indebted to government and you and I as taxpayers are gonna pay for that that's another one trillion dollars on top of the 103 RD out there in.
It's just gonna create this huge education bubble -- then go back to K12 education.
Because when kids get into college or spend the first year were mediating anyway a lot for a lot of kids.
You know we've are your double paying education from K12 all the way through and the taxpayers bear the brunt parents I'm halfway through pay for my daughter's college and I'm.
At the same time Paper body else's that's the way it is right now are Robert and low Freedom Foundation that named after the good guy -- -- good to see if.

I give props to this guy for writing a good, authentic piece about his experience as a stay at home father.
But, does he think that a woman- sorry, mother- doesn't feel the need to throw "hatchet into a tree" or to find time for some solitude in a boat, in the middle of nowhere, just like him…away from her children, to reassert her independence? (Most of the time, this becomes the derivative experience of locking the bathroom door, and calling to Calgon for some solitude.)
The experiences he shares in this piece strike me less as a "man's experience" than just the experience of parenting. As I read it, it seemed no less similar or regular than the hundreds of stories from my friends who are mothers (minus the being stared at like an exotic animal part).
I think as a society we make this mistake so often- delegating things or experiences as "male" or "female", "manly" or "feminine", when they are merely human experiences. I think our society, and species, is just on the verge of moving in the direction of taking people as individuals, and not an embodiment of a set of gender values. Very much on the cusp- with a long way to go; but, I do see the glimmer of what I consider to be an enlightened perspective.
Does he as a man process things differently than a woman? Oh yes, I don't deny that. We are most definitely not the "same". But, we are so much more the same than different, and I think we're catching on to that.
Reading this article, there were places where it struck me that the writer was only suffering through any small amounts of questioning his manhood because society has told him all his life that what he's doing is women's work. It's only women's work because women have been doing it. And, from that repetitive behavior have our social norms been born. Regardless of how progressive he and his wife- or his readers, or me, or you- are, we've nonetheless been fed these "rules" and stereotypes all our lives in a thousand subtle ways.
Is the "female energy" more nurturing naturally? Yes, I believe so. But, the spirit of masculine and feminine, I believe, is less about whether you have a penis and more about who you are. We all carry masculine and feminine within us.
What I'd argue is that what he was really recounting was the struggle of an individual against the all too powerful pull of losing yourself to your children and their needs. Again, his experience didn't seem much different than what most mothers experience, especially ones with a strong sense of self, who also have other goals in life. It's a balancing act between individual and family unit, rather than some sort of pioneering experience for men. He just chose to frame it in what I would consider the more traditional framework of men jumping into traditional female roles. And, I'm not even sure he realized that.
The Manly Job of the Stay-at-Home Dad
It might not look it to the casual outside observer, but stay-at-home dads are a tough breed. Behind all of the dangling diaper-bags, strollers, children's songs, and dried-up drool is a very capable man. A man who can transfer two snoozing children, one on each arm, from the mini-van through the heat of the day — unlocking the door to the house and slipping them into their respective beds without waking them up. A man who, on little to no sleep, must plan for any and every situation, magnificent or mundane. A man who must learn not to panic through bouts of uncontrollable backseat tears and screams while driving in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic. A man who truly knows the value of taking a long, deep breath.
Stay-at-home mothers feel these same stresses. But the ways men deal with them are another matter entirely. As proud and contented as I feel with my children, and as comfortable as I am with the choices my wife and I have made, there are definitely times when I find myself desperately needing to do something specific to assert my manhood. I daydream about spending weekends with a few buddies in the mountains, throwing a hatchet into a tree, or finding the time to grab a paddle and spend hours of solitude on a river in a canoe.

NFLPA decertifies; NFL locks out players.
The NFL's labor situation has gone from bad to worse.
Talks between the owners and players broke down Friday, and the NFL Players Association decertified. In response to a federal antitrust suit filed Friday, with three Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks among 10 players listed as plaintiffs, the NFL put a lockout into effect, sources told NFL.com.
With this contentious fight moving from the conference room to the courtroom, months could easily pass before the owners and players reach a new collective bargaining agreement.
Somebody dial 911.
NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith gave NFL owners an ultimatum Friday afternoon, asking for 10 years of audited financial records from the owners. Smith said the NFLPA would need those financial records before the union would agree to extend talks beyond Friday's negotiating deadline. The NFL declined.
"I dare any one of you to show an economic indicator the NFL has fallen on hard times," Smith said Friday night outside his Washington office.
"We think mediation is the fairest and fastest way to a reach an agreement that works for the players and the clubs," commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday night. "And we believe ultimately this is going to be negotiated at the negotiating table. But they've chosen to pursue another strategy, and that is their choice.
"But we will be prepared to negotiate an agreement that is fair to the players and fair to the clubs."
Federal mediator George H. Cohen said Friday night that he saw "no useful purpose" in extending the negotiations. If both sides ask for his assistance later, he said he would welcome more mediation.
"The parties have not achieved an overall agreement," Cohen said, "nor have they been able to resolve the strongly held competing positions that separated them on core issues."
Decertification was the union's biggest card to play in negotiations, and it finally played it. That sets the stage for a long, contentious court battle between the owners and players that could drag on for months and months and threaten the 2011 season.
By decertifying, the union cleared the way for individual players to file antitrust lawsuits against the NFL, which opted out of the collective bargaining agreement in 2008. It renounced its right to represent the players in contract bargaining.
The union — now operating as a "trade association" — filed an injunction Friday in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis to block NFL lockout. New England Patriots QB Tom Brady, Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning and New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees are the primary plaintiffs, and a ruling is expected at some point in the next month.
The case was assigned to U.S. District judge Patrick Schiltz, not his colleague David Doty, who has overseen NFL labor matters since the early 1990s and has several times ruled in favor of the players. The lawsuit still could end up in front of Doty. New cases are randomly assigned to judges when they're filed but are sometimes reassigned to others on the bench with expertise in a certain issue.
"Not once have the players asked for more money during this negotiation," Brees wrote Friday night on Twitter. "That is a FACT. I don't expect anyone to feel sorry for us. … Past players sacrificed a great deal to give us what we have now in the NFL, and we will not lay down for a second to give that up.
"We have a responsibility and at some point you just have to stand up for what is right."
The NFL, in a statement, said it had offered to split the difference in the financial gap and to ultimately reach the players' asking price by the end of a proposed five-year CBA. The NFL also said it had offered a rookie salary scale for first-round picks, guarantee no reduction in veteran pay, reduced offseason workouts, retain the current 16-game regular season and establish a new $82 million fund for improved health coverage for retired players.
NFLPA counsel Jim Quinn called the NFL's statement "a lie," saying the league's last offer would roll back player salaries back to 2007 levels. Smith said the NFL last proposal would have reduced the salary cap from "$149 million to 2009 to $141 million in 2011" and added that 2012 cap would have been $148 million, also less than the 2009 cap.
Smith said the players' union was willing to extend the negotiating window a third time but was only willing to do so if the owners agreed to present 10 years worth of audited financial data for all 32 teams. The owners balked, and the union decided the deal on the table wasn't as favorable as the one it could forge once the court challenges play out.
"They said, 'Trust us,' but when it came time for the verification, they told us it was none of our business," Smith said. "The measure of our association is the men and their families who fight for the only thing they can bestow to each other: a better game, a safer game and a recognition from those who own for common respect."
Simply, from the players' and owners' perspective, there wasn't much pressure to compromise now — and there won't be until July. This is the league's first work stoppage since 1987.
"I'd say to fans — I don't think we're going to lose the season," said Gary Roberts, a law professor at Indiana University-Indianapolis and a labor relations expert. "We might lose the preseason, and we might lose a couple of games in the regular season. But I can't believe they won't get a deal done in time for most, if not all, of the 2011 season."
Now that the union has decertified and the CBA has expired, the NFL can do one of two things: Lock out the players or declare an impasse and institute new work rules. Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney said Friday night that the lockout was the likely course of action.
"We're going to make that decision in the next 24 hours," Rooney told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I would say we're probably headed in that direction."
At the stroke of midnight ET, the lockout became official, sourced told NFL.com.
In the 52-page lawsuit filed Friday, the players are seeking a declaration that NFL salary cap, draft, franchise tag and other restrictions violate the Sherman Antitrust Act, according to SportsBusiness Journal. The suit also seeks a declaration that NFL teams pay all contractually owed amounts to players regardless if lockout continues.
If Doty grants the injunction to prevent the lockout, the NFL could appeal that decision. During the appeals process, the league likely would be forced to take the players back and impose work rules. The new "trade association" then is expected to file an antitrust lawsuit.
At the same time, the league could ask the NLRB to decide on a charge that the union did not engage in serious bargaining. The NLRB, if it sides with the league, could file an injunction in a federal court seeking to block the union's decertification. A union cannot file an antitrust lawsuit, so decertifying was critical to the players' strategy.
With the dispute now in court, both sides could end up with a deal they don't like.
Goodell had emphasized that negotiation was better than litigation. The case now goes to Doty — who already has ruled against the owners, denying them access to more than $4 billion in TV money during a lockout — and has been favorable to players in other rulings.
With the league seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in concessions, the players weren't willing to move much in negotiations unless the league opened its books fully and justified the proposed cuts.
"No one is happy where we are now," NFL lead negotiator Jeff Pash said. "I think we know where the commitment was. It was a commitment to litigate all along.
"The absence of an agreement is a shared failure. I think (fans) should be disappointed."
