OSCE needs stronger institutions, focus on commitments, say participants in PA's Helsinki +40 Washington seminar
COPENHAGEN, 19 November 2014 – The second leg of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly's Helsinki +40 seminar series has concluded in Washington, with six current and former Assembly presidents, members of the U.S. Congress, diplomats, experts and academics considering how the OSCE can most effectively promote good transatlantic relations and respond to new challenges, particularly in light of the crisis in Ukraine.
The need for an East-West bridge that inspired the creation of the OSCE remains acute today, but the capacities of OSCE institutions, particularly its parliamentary dimension, must be strengthened, and there must be renewed focus on adherence to the Organization's core principles, the participants said.
The OSCE PA's Helsinki +40 Project is a series of international seminars at leading think-tanks that bring together diplomats, politicians and scholars to evaluate the OSCE's past and inspire reform ahead of the 40th anniversary of the Organization's founding document, the Helsinki Final Act of 1975.
Statement by OSCE PA human rights chair on the five-year anniversary of the death of Sergei Magnitsky
COPENHAGEN, 14 November 2014 – On the eve of the 5th anniversary of the death of Sergei Magnistky, the Chair of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly's human rights committee, Isabel Santos (MP, Portugal), has called for an end to impunity in Russia and greater attention to the persistent link between corruption and human rights transgressions across the OSCE area.
"The killing of whistleblowing Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky on 16 November 2009 captured the attention of the world, but still, five years later, has not brought the change to his country that its citizens deserve. Let us mark this anniversary by remembering why Magnitsky's life was taken – that is, for speaking truth to power. Let us renew our call for an end to impunity in Russia, not only for the people who killed this true patriot, but for the systemic corruption, human rights transgressions and lack of rule of law that have led to his and other unacceptable deaths there," Santos said.
"We must also remember why Magnitsky's case continues to have meaning far beyond Russia: On an almost weekly basis we hear of instances across the OSCE area and in the wider world in which state authorities abuse their power to silence those who expose lapses in the rule of law. Lawlessness and corruption continue to erode human rights. I applaud the numerous countries that have imposed visa bans and asset freezes on Russian officials implicated in Magnitsky's killing, but the OSCE and the international community must do more to demand adherence in Russia and beyond to the norms of a civilized and just world," Santos added.
OSCE parliamentarians to observe upcoming elections in Moldova
COPENHAGEN, 14 November 2014 – OSCE parliamentarians will observe the upcoming parliamentary elections in Moldova and provide leadership for the OSCE's short-term observer mission.
OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Didier Burkhalter has designated Emin Onen (MP, Turkey) as Special Co-ordinator to lead the short-term OSCE observer mission for the 30 November vote. Arta Dade (MP, Albania) will serve as Head of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Delegation, which will include parliamentarians from 23 OSCE participating States.
"An election that adheres to OSCE standards will be important for political stability in Moldova. In a clear demonstration of the importance that the international community attaches to this vote, more than 50 of my fellow parliamentarians from throughout the OSCE are coming to observe. We look forward to our work," Special Co-ordinator Onen said.
President Kanerva decries 'unacceptable restrictions' on Ukraine border observers, urges reform before OSCE Permanent Council
COPENHAGEN, 13 November 2014 – OSCE Parliamentary Assembly President Ilkka Kanerva (MP, Finland) criticized "unacceptable restrictions" on what OSCE observers on the Ukrainian-Russian border are able to report and called for broad Organizational reform in an address today before the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna.
"In order to achieve consensus on deploying the [OSCE Observer Mission at the Russian Checkpoints Gukovo and Donetsk on the Ukrainian-Russian border], unacceptable restrictions were condoned in its mandate," Kanerva said before the Council, which approved the Mission in July.
"Let's be honest: The Mission is restricted to report only on what it sees pass through the official crossings along the tiniest strip of border. If we are not permitted to do it right, the question is, is it worth doing at all?" he added.

Running and Lower Body?

Running and Lower Body?
|Wed, 11-11-2009 - 5:15pm
Hey everyone! I'm back at the gym again (after a very long time!) and am loving it more than ever. I do have a quick question though. Is it okay to do cardio, such as running, on the same day you do lower body weights?
|Thu, 11-12-2009 - 7:49am
It depends on the kind of running. If you're seriously running, no, but if you're just running to get in some cardio, I would.

Tinted windows prevent bright sunlight from damaging your car's upholstery and pale moonlight from making you fall in love with your steering column. Avoid glares with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $44 for tinting of two windows (an $89 value)
- $125 for tinting of five windows, plus any quarter-windows (a $229 value)
Tinting specialists outfit windows with an Aegis Advantage HP or Flex Film tint, both backed by lifetime manufacturer warranties. With the second option, the small quarter-windows that are common on two-doors and sedans will also be treated at no extra fee.
The Three Tinters
The Three Tinters' window-wrapping prowess has earned the business a distinguished client roster that includes the Ritz Carlton and Jim Ellis Volkswagen dealership. Offering residential, commercial, and automotive tint services, technicians at the 3M-authorized business are well-acquainted with windows of all sizes, and possess an aptitude to outfit windows in snug-fitting films that press cleanly against the glass without sagging, overlapping, or looking like they were actually just drawn on with markers. Films such as Aegis Advantage HP strong-arm the fiery sun from crossing clear thresholds, therefore preventing scorched interiors or sun-damaged seats.
They stayed after hours to finish my tint job, and it looked awesome! Still looks great too!Mark R., Yelp, 9/11/13

A proposal for allowing slot machines at Massachusetts racetracks faces opposition from Gov. Deval L. Patrick and anti-gambling groups. "I am not persuaded that we get jobs at the tracks," said Patrick, who favors a plan for freestanding casinos. The bill's sponsor, House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, said the legislation would save jobs at the state's four racetracks.

Airport Connector Road to Open
Road Links 895 with Richmond International Airport
Getting to Richmond International Airport is about to get a little faster.
The 1.6-mile Airport Connector road – which links Airport Drive with the Pocahontas Parkway (Route 895) – opened to the public Jan. 14, culminating a two-year construction period and years of planning. The new route, constructed by Transurban as part of the state's Public Private Transportation Act, provides a more direct link to the airport from points south via the Pocahontas Parkway and I-295.
The new road connects to the existing portion of Airport Drive at Charles City Road, then travels through the Seven Hills industrial park and connects with the Pocahontas Parkway, where travelers can head south to I-95 or north to I-295.
The road is considered an extension of the Pocahontas Parkway, so commuters who travel both will pay just one toll. Only customers using the Airport Drive Connector and traveling between the airport and Interstate 295 will pay $1.25 at the ramp linking the connector to Pocahontas 895. The toll will be collected electronically, with payment made by E-ZPass or Visa/Mastercard credit or debit cards. Other commuters will pay their normal tolls on 895.
Officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony today to celebrate the road's completion and take a tour of the new road.
"The Airport Connector Road is a showcase of how the commonwealth can use public-private partnerships to create jobs, improve our transportation network and strengthen our economy," Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean T. Connaughton said.
Transurban, the long-term manager that operates and maintains Pocahontas 895, agreed to finance and construct the nearly $50 million Airport Connector Road as part of a public-private partnership with VDOT established in 2006. The project did not require Virginia taxpayer funding and was supported through a loan provided by the federal government and backed by Transurban.
"As a long-term operator, Transurban is always looking at ways to improve service for its customers and work collaboratively with its partners, "said Tony Adams, Transurban's vice president, major projects. "This project will benefit the airport, local travelers and businesses and fulfills a long-term goal of VDOT and Henrico County."

good unpretentious French restaurant?
Looking for a good French restaurant to celebrate double birthdays. La Lunchonette is closed for the weekend, and that is the type of palce I'm looking for. Not fancy (bad weather expected) but definitely good authetic French food. Recommendations appreciated!
re: oldone
i would skip montparnasse and Le bateau Ivre. I have been to both recently and neither has good food. Le Bateau Ivre is by far a better atmosphere for a birthday. The atmosphere is fun but the food is at best mediocre
Cosette, on 33rd St., b/t Lex & 3rd, is a small, cozy French bistro with nicely-prepared classic dishes.
Gascogne, on 8th Av., b/t 17th & 18th Sts., has very good food, and the menu emphasizes dishes of that eponymous region in France. Unfortunately, the weather this weekend is probably not going to be conducive to sitting in their lovely back garden. But the interior is small, cozy and very charming.
For classic bistro fare I'm fond of Le Pere Pinard on the L.E.S. I sent a French family I know and they loved it. Totally unpretentious.
you could also go to jubilee on 54st between second and third. The food is yummy, but the atmosphere is not that great (a bit sedate and on the older side)-very pleasant.
re: Pernod
Love Le Gigot - but just got home from Pearl Oyster Bar and Le Gigot was closed - there was a hand written sign in the window - I suspect they might be closed for the weekend.
Chez Lucien on 1st avenue near Houston is one of the best meals I've had in NY. It is not stuffy and is a cool french bistro. Some people don't like Jules on St-Mark's place but I liked it very much. It is not pretentious and not too expensive. There is live jazz also which makes for an interesting atmosphere.
re: cricri7
I don't mean to be negative, but I ate there recently as well and was very dissappointed by the food. The atmosphere was really nice, but my steak au poivre was chewy and the sauce was flavorless.
re: livetotravel
We have been going there for years!
Another spot with underrated french bistro food is Cafe Charbon in the LES. It's at Orchard & Stanton.
How about Village? I Had a wonderful meal there and the space is nice.
62 W 9th St, New York 10011
Btwn 5th & 6th Ave
Try "26 Seat" on Avenue B between 10th & 11th. www.26seats.com
Great little place...it only has...26 seats. Was just there tonight. Consistently good food at a reasonable price. Friendly staff. Mussels are excellent. French onion soup is also wonderful.
re: chung.william
I had a very bad experience at 26 seats and will not go back. I made reservations a couple weeks before hand and when I showed up at the restaurant it was empty except for one other couple. However, the staff insisted on seating us at a shared table even though there were three two person tables empty. When we asked to move to another table, they refused. Those tables remained empty the entire time we were there. Talk about feeling like a second class citizen.
re: foodluvngal
It really isnt great. the food is too heavy and service wasnt really great
re: fschil
Cafe D'Alsace has (sadly) deteriorated since it first opened - check recent posts before you consider going there.
re: fschil
We were at Cafe d'Alsace for dinner last week.
Our first time dining there and, so we don't know whether it deteriorated. Anyway, we weren't impressed at all with the frozen-dinner-picture-on-the-box-looking dishes and the very gimmicky beer service. Service was very spotty and inconsistent.
I wished I checked recent posts before we went.
re: fschil
We have been going to La Boeuf for over 30 years. It is where our daughter learned how to behave in a "grown up" restaurant and is still our place for big doings. Every time we go and drop a bundle elsewhere we wonder why we didn't go to La Boeuf. You absolutely get a wonderful meal (appetizer, soup/salad, entree with about 4 sides, and dessert, the chocolate mousse is not to be missed) for about $40 prix fixe. I know the rap is that the crowd is older; so what, you can hear your companions and enjoy the meal. Still one of the great bargains in the city.
re: baconstrip
and what could be more charming then eating in a place where the chef/owner has his own art work hanging on the walls!
We've only been to Brasserie LCB once, sometime early this year.
The cassoulet is one of the better oned I've had in this country, my wife liked her steak frittes, and the place has that belle epoquish ambiance to it, complete with long white-aproned French waiters - I'm not sure whether you view this as "pretentious", but it's quite authentic in my view.
Decent wine selection and pricing, too.
Check out Jean Claude on Sullivan Street in SoHo. It's been there a while, and it's really tasty and not at all pretentious. Very chilled out for the neighborhood. Their scallop appetizer and skate entree are great.
From what you're saying, I'd suggest Jarnac in the West Village. It's small, cozy, great food, unpretentious and not loud. I hate Alsace, was okay with Le Gigot, but I think the downtown feel is closer to what you're looking for.
I agree with the poster who mentioned Boite en Bois on W.68th it's a great, old-fashioned French restaurant. Reservations here are de rigeur because the place is small.
I would add Montrachet to the list.
They're at 239 W Broadway (between Walker Street and North Moore Street)and it's a pretty low key place with very good food.
re: raybird
I used to go there often quite a few years ago. I walked by a few months ago (didn't eat) and it looked the same as ever, basically the same menu too.
re: raybird
eh. I think it's slowly going downhill. Nothing remarkable. I ahve tried most of the restaurants recommended and don't feel any of teh food comes close to La Lunchonette.
La Luncheonette is my regular call. I just wish they had pommes frites. The fish dishes are especially good and the owners and servers are very nice. I like that the ambience is low key and not too precious.
re: hopegoode
I have always wondered about this place, but hadn't yet eaten there. Years ago, I lived in that building, but I don't think the restaurant was there then. Any other dishes that you'd recommend - or suggest skipping?
re: ashea9167
Though it's annoyingly loud, I agree with you. It gets bad press, but I really enjoyed my entire meal there.

PeterCC's 24-Hour L.A. Food Tour, Saturday Edition
- PeterCC Jun 15, 2012 12:44 PM
[I was going to wait until tonight or tomorrow morning to post this, but it seemed like kinda a slow day, so I thought, "Why not now?"]
Below is the final schedule of stops for Saturday evening, with the dishes I plan to order. I will try my darndest to stick to my list, but everything is subject to change, based on traffic, wait times, availability, new specials, etc. Asterisks still mark the restaurants I haven't been to before...
6 PM - Animal*: Pig tails, "buffalo style," celery, ranch; foie gras, biscuit, maple sausage gravy. (~60 minutes, $36+)
7:30 PM - Red Medicine*: Heirloom rice porridge, egg yolk, hazelnuts, ginseng, echire butter; add Santa Barbara red uni; a.k.a. "uni congee". (~45 minutes, $27+)
9 PM - Hatfield's*: "Croque Madame", yellowtail sashimi, prosciutto, sunny side up quail egg, grilled brioche; Bobo Farms foie gras, apple-rosemary "butter", caramelized cippolini, molasses toast . (~60 minutes, $43+)
10:30 PM - Leo's Tacos*: Tacos al Pastor; tacos de lengua. (~15 minutes, $2+)
The biggest change to the schedule is that _all_ of the stops are now new-to-me restaurants (I removed Shunji, the only place I'd already been). In the original thread, I had also mentioned replacing Plan Check with a mystery spot, which I had planned to be Gjelina, as they _were_ serving Beavertail oysters from my home state of Rhode Island. I think, though, I will like Hatfield's much better (thanks for the rec, Lambster).
Not sure if Leo's will actually happen after all I'll have eaten by then, but we'll see. Not gonna beat myself up if I can't stomach it (no pun intended).
Final Google Map for Saturday: http://goo.gl/maps/HI2F (Yes, it is a bit circuitous, but I have reservations at both Red Medicine and Hatfield's that necessitate this order of stops.)
On the Road: 5:30 PM
Arrive Home: 11 PM
Duration: 5.5 hours
Cost: $108 (before drinks, taxes, and tips)
If anyone has any additional comments or suggestions, I'll be checking this thread regularly, even while "on tour" (cellular reception permitting).
[The original discussion thread is here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/852040]
re: raytamsgv
I will, thanks! Expect words and pictures.
re: ipsedixit
I am counting on the fact that I'm arriving at Animal before it opens to get a seat quickly, and I'll order the two dishes I'm having right away. The durations listed are just estimates anyway. However, I do have a reservation at Red Medicine at 7:30 PM, so if need be, I'll take whatever's left over of my pig tails and foie gras to go.
Likewise, my reservation at Hatfield's is at 9 PM, but since I'm ordering only one dish at RM, I'm hoping a 45-60 minute time frame at RM is realistic. And I've built-in travel time and a little bit of cushioning between each stop, so I should be able to get to Hatfield's on time.
Luckily Hatfield's is essentially my last formal stop, with Leo's being a rather open-ended stop that I may not even make, so I'm not going to rush out of Hatfield's. In fact, I expect to slow down as the evening progresses (as I eat more), so I'm definitely planning on taking my time with the two dishes I'm having there.
After all, it's not a how-much-can-I-eat contest, I want to taste and enjoy the food too! :-)
re: PeterCC
Animal has always had great and efficient service and I'll bet an hour is generous for your needs.
re: Servorg
Thanks Servorg, that's reassuring. I figure, they have such a small space, and are fairly popular, and I don't hear horrible things about the service or wait, that they must be at least a semi-well oiled (or should I say greased?) machine.
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention/ask, what do people know about how the parking is at each of my stops? Animal's site mentions offering valet (how much?), and free meters after 8 PM (which wouldn't apply to me). RM's site mentions a managed parking lot next to the restaurant. Hatfield's site mentions valet ($7) or meters on Melrose. Does anyone have anything to add, any tips/tricks for parking at any of these locations?
re: PeterCC
if you're willing to spend a few minutes to look and walk a little, you should be able to score street parking within 3-4 residential blocks of all three locations. As with any LA locale, pay close attention to restricted parking signs, esp for the first 2 stops. East of Highland near Hatfields, I don't think there's much residential zone parking restrictions. Not sure about the west side. Just try not to venture too far east on Melrose because Sat is movie night at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, an extremely popular event.
re: soniabegonia
Great advice, thanks soniabegonia!
re: PeterCC
As sonia said, parking shouldn't be too hard. I'm in the Animal/Hatfields area a lot, and I notoriously avoid paying for parking, but the good thing is, there are a lot of easy places to find parking.
- Animal, go a block east or west of Fairfax, and there should be street parking without restrictions, especially since you're not planning to stay too long.
- Hatfields, should be open meters on Melrose by then, and they're free after 8pm. If not, Highland north of Melrose or Melrose east of Highland are both pretty reliable for finding spots.
- Red Medicine, should be parking either on Wilshire or San Vicente.
I'm excited for you, what an awesome plan (for both days). Who knows, I may even see you at one of your Sunday stops in the SGV! Anyhow, I know you've already got everything set, but if you can squeeze in one more taco, you could consider El Chato on La Brea/Olympic (in an auto body shop parking lot). You'll already be driving down La Brea, and it's on the way to Leo on La Brea/Venice. It's a messier, tastes better because it's late at night kind of taco, love it.
re: mikeop34
Very useful, thanks mikeop34!
Do you have a reservation at Animal too? They are crazy right now, I tried calling every day for the past two weeks to get a res before the Foie ban. They didn't return messages and didn't answer their phone the first 50 times I called. I finally got a res on a Sunday night. :)
Parking is like the lottery- sometimes theres a spot right there, sometimes it takes forever to find one if you don't want to valet. What I would do is give yourself ten minutes to look for free/metered parking, and then give up and valet if you don't. Most places valet is ten or less but then you have to tip too. I just hate paying to park!
re: sarahbeths
I get the feeling Peter plans to eat at the bar (which should be no problem since he will be there right when they open).
re: sarahbeths
No, since they don't do Open Table, and I wasn't able to get through either, I'm taking a risk. I figure as a solo diner, arriving before they open, worst-case scenario I'll sit at the bar (which I know is tiny). If I don't get seated quickly, I may cut the pig tails and just have the foie, since it won't be there in a few weeks, to keep myself on schedule.
I hate paying to park too, and especially tipping after paid valet! But I don't want to stiff the attendants, they're not the ones getting the $7 or $10 valet fee (not directly, at least). I guess we'll see what my luck is both in getting into Animal and in finding parking for it. I'll probably hit the area around 5:30 PM, so I should have plenty of time.
Tip for the start of your journey: get to Animal earlier than 6 if you want to ensure a bar seat. I got to the door right on the hour last Sun and just missed the last bar seats. Ended up waiting 1.5hr to try the foie gras biscuit (like you for the 1st time). Unimpressed by the food after all the hype, but that's another thread...
re: bulavinaka
Isn't the mobile gorging going off tonight (Saturday night)?
re: Servorg
Yes, Servorg's correct. Can't wait! :-)
re: bulavinaka
It's tonight, not last night. I was up late at a poker game last night, posted the stuff on the Shunji thread after and went to bed, and then got woken up early this morning, so I'm on 4 hours of sleep. Ugh. Hoping to catch a nap before the gorgefest. :-)
Since I took Shunji off tonight's schedule, I squeezed in a quick visit yesterday right at their 6 PM opening and sampled just a few dishes, including the foie, the tomato agedashi tofu, and the kisu, shirauo, and suzuki.
re: PeterCC
Oops! I guess you'll be sleeping upright tonight - my bad. I don't think mumus are vogue for hitting up these eateries, but maybe a nice loose set of sweat pants with a long drawstring might work...
You're from Rhode Island? Big appetites come from the mighty-mite state (along with/congrats to Miss Rhode Island/USA). You mention the beavertail oysters - how would you describe them?
re: bulavinaka
I've raided my wife's old maternity clothes... Just kidding!
You know, I haven't had beavertails in a long time, so I can't really give a good description right now. If I find them at a local place again, I'll have to reacquaint myself with them and then I'll let you know.
re: PeterCC
Found this: Beavertail- These oysters are harvested from the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, in Rhode Island. Beavertails are very clean and deeply cupped. There name comes from the fact that there size and shape resembles a beaver's tail. They have and elaborate briny flavor with hints of sweetness.
re: wienermobile
Thanks, I thought about pasting in the same or similar description found online too, but I figured bulavinaka was asking my personal opinion of them.
First Stop: Animal
5:30 PM - Freeways are crazy but I just hopped on Olympic and stayed on until I got to Fairfax, then up past Beverly. Didn't take very long and scored a meter spot right in front of Canter's. Just waiting for the restaurant to open.
5:40 PM - Lots of people loitering. Some are definitely waiting for Animal to open but I can't tell about others. I'm hoping the restaurant isn't all booked for reservations at 6 PM.
5:50 PM - Count about 15 people definitely waiting for Animal.
5:55 PM - Make that about 20. Is this normal or just pre-foie ban fever?
6 PM - Bar fills up right away. People without reservations are told there will be a wait.
6:05 PM - One seat opens at bar, which I manage to get.
6:10 PM - Order the pig tail and foie gras and biscuit, with a Sünner Kölsh. Two other people at bar ordering pig ears.
6:20 PM - Got the pig tails. Will review later.
6:40 PM - Got the foie gras. Will review later.
7 PM - Out of the restaurant.
Second Stop: Red Medicine
7:10 PM - With no traffic, I arrived at Red Medicine in less than 10 minutes. Looking for parking.
7:30 PM - No luck with parking. Long line at Saban. Taking a chance with 1 hour parking a block away.
7:40 PM - Had res but decide to sit at bar so I'm not taking up a table for two. I order the uni congee and just a ginger beer (still feeling the Sünner Kölsch from Animal).
8 PM - Uni congee arrives, smelling like a bowl of butter. Will review later.
8:20 PM - I tap out, asking for a box for about half the congee. (I can hear some of you chuckling out there!) Trying to decide if I should push my Hatfield's res to 9:30 PM.
Third Stop: Hatfield's
8:30 PM - I call to move the res to 9:30 PM.
9 PM - It takes about 20 minutes to get from RM to Hatfield's, and I find meter parking about a block away in front of a California Chicken Cafe. I may take a half hour siesta to digest the congee before my res. :-)
9:35 PM - After my nap (not really; listened to NPR, so same difference--kidding!) I walk in a few minutes after my appointed time and am told table will be a few more minutes. I see the bar has plenty of seats (3 or 4) and decide to eat at bar (full menu served, though prix fixe and tasting menu not usually served).
9:40 PM - I order Bees Knees (Bellringer Gin, Albuquerque honey, lemon) and the foie. Waiting to see how bursting I am after before I order croque. Taking my time...
10 PM - I am served the foie gras. It is the largest piece of foie gras that I've had recently, beating both Animal's and Shunji's. Review forthcoming.
10:20 PM - I order the croque and the Bitburger Drive (non-alcoholic) since I do have to drive.
10:35 PM - I am served the croque.
Hmm, that's what I get for posting and editing, I'm now past the 2-hour editable window.
Third Stop: Hatfield's (cont.)
10:45 PM - I leave the restaurant (croque review forthcoming).
Fourth Stop: Tacos Leo
11 PM - I arrive at La Brea and Venice. I see Tacos El Gallitos on my left, Tacos Leo on my right. I park, order the al pastor to go.
11:15 PM - I receive my al pastor, in a small, flat, square piece of foil. This will be my midnight snack, as I am stuffed!
11:30 PM - I am home!
12 AM - I'm about to try the al pastor taco. And then I will pass out.
re: PeterCC
Congrats! Thanks for the update. I hope you will have a good recovery.
re: PeterCC
epic. props to you good sir.

Reviews of Alien: Resurrection 1997
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Not a great movie, but a fun, elseworldsy, Metal Hurlant adventure in the Alien universe. Also, Joss Whedon's prototype for Firefly.
better than the third movie but not great.
My second favourite Alien film. Great cast. Weaver still rocks. Script is a bit weak, but its a simple plot well told. The sets and aliens make it worthwhile.
Drunk and slept through half the movie, but still saw more than I needed to.
What a sad, miserable and disappointing final chapter to an anthology with so much potential.
I couldn't find myself rooting for anyone. Respectable and decent actors were found at their worst and the farfetched, tasteless story didn't help.
Certain elements of this film looked better than the other alien movies (such as the alien) but only time is the credit for that.
Even though at times it was suspenseful, I hate that I had to watch this.
Reborn. Alive... Again. Living... With a new purpose.
In this ship... This massive star ship... Something has been preserved. Something terrible... Something horrible... Something that should have remained a forgotten hell of the past...
But, by man's desire to play God, it has come back... It has been re-awoken... And this time will be the last...
Because those with power will finally see... Nothing good ever comes out of playing God...
Hopefully this truly will be the last time... For humanity's sake...
After all... Mother's dead...
And there is no more.
Well, I have to get some grading done while doing laundry and it was this or Last Airbender so this it is...
Watched the special edition. A weak 4th attempt that had little to do with the previous 3 movies. Still enjoyable as an action/sci-fi flick, but I have high expectations in this franchise and it didn't meet them. EFX were still top notch and extremely juicy. I really enjoyed the underwater scenes with the aliens. I did not enjoy the ending and for some reason I actually felt bad for the baby alien dying at the end and I really should not have.
Ripley pega taaaaaanto como "chica Whedon". Y esa tripulación de contrabandistas espaciales protoFirefly que se marca el colega... Yo que sé. A mí me ha gustado.

|Big win for Obama: Bracket looks better at UNC win
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 04 April 2009 18:22
North Carolina, the team Obama chose to win the championship, surged into the title game with an 83-69 win over Villanova on Saturday night.
The Tar Heels' victory moved Obama into the top third of the 5 million-plus people who entered ESPN.com's pool.
Obama's picks were looking shaky after the first three teams he forecast to reach the Final Four - Louisville, Pittsburgh and Memphis - lost in earlier rounds. Those misses dropped the president into the bottom half of the entries.
North Carolina is the favorite Monday night when it takes on Michigan State for the championship.

Style it your way!
Every woman wants her clothes to fit her perfectly and that is the biggest advantage in buying ready to stitch material. All you have to do is go to your tailor or designer and select a style according to your taste and the latest trend. You can choose if your neck should be high neck or low neck; regular fit or slim fit: choose the sleeves - short/semi long / long sleeves.
Nowadays women prefer to adopt different styles and customized outfits to stand out in the crowd. For them even the texture of a dress material is crucial. The touch, the very feel of the attire, the work on them and the comfort factor all go hand in hand when it comes to choosing a salwar dress material. A huge disappointment hits them when the dress they love is not available in their size. Had there not been beautiful ready to stitch, customizable salwar material, their dreams of wearing a good fitting salwar kameez in the pattern they love would never have come true!
When it comes to getting hold of the right unstitched anarkali dress material, you have nothing to worry about! If you want unstitched suit pieces according to your taste, preferences and the current trend, then visit Pothys Boutique where you will find all types of unstiched suits in different fabrics like georgette, chiffon or cotton and in a wide range of colours for both women and young girls.

It's Wedding Season!!!
Weddings are an occasion where everyone wants to look their best. Every woman loves getting dressed for a wedding, even if it is not her own! But it can be tricky deciding what to wear to the main events, which are the muhurtham and the reception. Also, the smaller events like the bridal shower, mehendi, nalangu and next-day brunch sometimes also come without a prescribed dress code. Don't worry! We've got your back there. In order to avoid all sartorial guessing games, we've broken down the looks, both by occasion and preference.
While the functions vary according to each family and their traditions, most mehendi and sangeeth have a few things in common: it's an evening affair, and the family (meaning ladies of all ages) will be there. Consider keeping your look classic. It's always better to play it safe — while adding your own signature twist. A statement-making, traditional soft silk saree is the perfect showpiece for a mehendi or nalangu ceremony and you can pair it with a traditional potli bag and necklace to add more grace to your traditional look. It's a combination that'll earn praise from everyone around.
For main events like wedding and reception, you can try a lovely kanchivaram saree with traditional motifs and long earrings. Go with classic colour combinations to stand out in the crowd.
This wedding season, Pothys Boutique has stocked up a collection of sarees that are perfect for any wedding that you're going to this season!
Look lovely in this 1.Green Vasundhra Pattu saree and match it with this 2.Traditional Necklace Set and a 3.Potli bag.
Dazzle in this 1.Blue and Purple Samudrika pattu saree. Pair it with this 2.Long earrings and 3.Bangle.

Magical Patola Weaves
Patola sarees are some of the finest hand-woven sarees. They are well known for their bright and vibrant Indian colours. Patola sarees generally have basic design motifs like animals, flowers, human figures and birds. But nowadays modern geometric patterns interwoven with traditional folk motifs are becoming more popular. They are single Ikkat woven sarees made out of silk. The name 'Patola' is derived from the word 'Patulu' which is its plural form.
This type of saree was once worn by only royalty and aristocracy. Both the warp and weft threads are wrapped to resist the dye according to the desired pattern of the final woven fabric to create the patola saree. This process of tying is repeated for each colour that is to be included in the finished cloth. The technique of dying both the warp and weft before weaving is called double ikat. The bundles of thread are strategically knotted before dying. These are made in Patan, Gujarat, India. The sarees are created using the resist dying technique. It can take from six months to one year to make a saree.
The Rajkot Patola sarees are vertically resist- dyed (single ikat). Every saree is one of a kind as it is created entirely with the imagination and skill of the weaver. It is no wonder they are called the 'Queen of Silks'.
Pothys presents you the most beautiful and enchanting Patola Silk Saree in your dream colours and designs. The silk threads have been blended it with care and precision to meet your high expectations.

I've been thinking about this one for a long time...
One of my fitness instructors seems a bit unprofessional to me but I like her as a person and continue to do her classes. Examples of unprofessionalism are:
1) No proper warm-up prior to cardio work to the point where I have noticed participants stopping to stretch out a cramp because their muscle wasn't warmed up properly. This hasn't happened to me because I know my body well enough to warm it up but some newbies to exercising may not know what to do or how to do it properly.
2) Some cues which she provides in bodysculpting seem contrary to everything else I've read and been told. For example, she says that it is "cheating" to have your elbows pressed against your sides when doing a bicep curl but I have always been told to "glue" your elbows to your sides, keep the wrists firm and curl the forearms.
3) She talks about her personal life during the cooldown segment to the point that she forgets how long we have held the stretch on the right leg (over 2 minutes) and then hurriedly gives us 10 seconds on the left leg. This also happens during weight training where she either sometimes forgets to exercise the opposing side of the body or does not do the same number of reps.
4) Her music is too fast for the class.
5) In a constantly joking manner, she rants about our form, technique, etc. as a way of getting us to do the workout. In other words, instead of saying, "You can do it!" She's more likely to say, "Suck it up!"
6) She is not empathetic to all age groups, particularly seniors, who would sometimes appreciate a more modified version of a movement.
7) If you miss one of her classes, she takes it to heart and questions you about your absence.
I don't want to report her because I don't want to jeopardize her job. She is wildly popular and her classes are always packed. What would you do about this?
|Thu, 06-19-2003 - 9:06pm
You're in disagreement with her music, motivational techniques, and her methods of teaching.
What to do - YOU don't take her classes, let everybody else do what they want.
Some of my teammates are motivated by "you suck"....others are motivated by "you're so awesome"....its important to know what motivates who.
But in a class environment there are plenty of people going to be offended, as well as there are going to be plenty that like whatever method of motivation she chooses to use.
As for if she's doing something technically wrong/incorrect in the instruction - if you insist on taking her class you might ask her personally, but non-confrontationally, after class why she says that about the elbows (or whatever the issue is) because you've heard differently and listen to what she has to say.
Believe me, in my "immersion training" groups....I'm hated by the half that want no part of having to live up to my expectations and the challenges of the course, and I'm loved by the half that can't wait until they can live up to the challenge the environment and requirement presents.

The other half just leave?

As for the music, if there is a general consensus that the music is too fast, it is your responsibility to tell the instructor.
Personally, I LOVE that style of teaching, I like pain and being yelled at. I enjoy being told to 'suck it up', it makes me want to push myself harder.
I would agree with what the other person posted, if you don't like that style of teaching, I suggest you take other classes, because there are PLENTY of instructors who aren't like that. I am a piano teacher, I don't teach like that either, I push kids as hard as I can and if parents just want me to babysit, then I am not the right teacher.

On working one side more than another, I've found some instructors who do that. Over 15 years ago, I did jazzercise and someone made a joke about how she'd love to see if Judi Missett Sheperd was lopsided from behind because the routines weren't always equal on both sides. I've also had an instructor on the opposite spectrum where everything was equal, even if it didn't matter. If we did 20 "over the tops" facing one way, we'd have to do 20 "over the tops" facing the other. If it bothers you, maybe you could jokingly say something about being lopsided.
Overall, if you don't like the class, it's your time. Is the rest of the class worth taking the bad? I love my Saturday AM advanced step class and it's pretty crowded for 8am. Someone I was talking to said something about how she didn't like that class and didn't find it challenging but loved the Tuesday class. I don't like the way the Tuesday instructor teaches at all! So, it comes down to personal preference and how you want to spend your time. A nice instructor isn't enough for me.
|Fri, 06-20-2003 - 10:47am
We're not talking about a class in the gym...we're talking about several days spent paddling down rivers thru rapids at night, rappelling, swimming down rivers, trekking across the land doing navigation by compass, and trail riding and trail running, etc. etc.
Lots of people are wanting to taking on the challenge....about half of them are up to it when they find there is no quit, out, or rescue except for self-sufficiency and self-responsible behavior without emotional response but with intellectual and rational response required if survival is an option.
So prior to actually getting in with no option for out - when they opt out we have a way to get them out of the environment without any hassle to them.
|Fri, 06-20-2003 - 1:17pm
1) Lack of warm-up. I'd check the posted times for classes and see if there is anything saying that people should warm-up before the class. Regina, one of our instructors, has participants warm up before the class because it is an advanced (which implies they know how to do that on their own) class and because the time limitations would mean dropping some of the more intense work in order to fit it all in. Given that knowledge I would want to know if there is some such statement in regards to her class. IF there isn't I would suggest, to HER not her boss, that one be put up and use specific examples of people who have had to stop and stretch during class as justification.
2) Her cues being different than what you've read or believe. This is one of those areas where we all have problems. Weight training is highly controversal in many ways, the one thing that we all agree on is that it is beneficial. Where the problems come is that not everyone believes that to get those benefits require the same sort of routine, intensity, diet, etc. I believe in lifting heavy, period. I don't think that doing 35 reps with a lower weight is anywhere near as effective as doing 6 reps at a higher weight. Why? Well, we won't get into the huge long discussion on that, just suffice to say it is MY belief based on MY research, backed by dozens of professional athletes, trainers and bodybuilders. Does that make my way the one right way? nope, just right for me and others who share it. So... what I'm saying here is that it is a given you won't always agree with others on stuff like this. As long as she isn't teaching improper/dangerous form I'd let it go.
3) She's a jabber. That's a personal quirk, you can't change that, trust me millions of folks have tried all over the world to change our ilk, it isn't changing. In the future you can break the stretch and move on if she's lost track of time, it may prompt her to move on.
4) Her music is too fast for the class. Ack, I won't go there. I find ALL music too fast in classes because I just can't keep up. I've never found a way around it. You're on your own here!
5) In a constantly joking manner, she rants about our form, technique, etc. as a way of getting us to do the workout. In other words, instead of saying, "You can do it!" She's more likely to say, "Suck it up!" Again, personal quirk. Some people like this. When I was in boot camp one of our girls fell out of a run. She was just not doing well at all with the physical aspect of training. She had to go down for a retest the next morning and since it was "before light" she had to be accompanied. (A girl had been raped the previous month, nobody traveled alone by order of the CO) So, I was sent. For the first 1/4 of the run she was doing ok, and I would call out encouragement when she ran past the bleechers where I sat. By the half way point she was about to drop out and I was worried. I asked to run it with her and the company commander being the sadistic jerk he was said yes. I tried talking nicely to her, it wasn't doing it. I started berating her for being a whimp and she perked up. She finished the run, the whole time I was telling her to "suck it up" and "stop whining like a little girl". There are some people who like it, and some people who like that approach of "encouragement". I suspect if you were in Michelle's shoes you would have done better with the positive words of "you can do it" and "just a little bit more". It is a personality trait, you can't change them, you have to choose to ignore it or not be around people whose traits bother you.
6) She is not empathetic to all age groups, particularly seniors, who would sometimes appreciate a more modified version of a movement. What level is her class? Regina is a GREAT trainer, and I absolutely adore her, but I wouldn't dream of stepping foot in her class, it is not made to accomodate the inept, unwilling, out of shape or elderly. That doesn't mean Regina isn't empathetic, it just means that the class was not designed for those groups, if you come back in two hours she'll be teaching a beginners class that is!
7) If you miss one of her classes, she takes it to heart and questions you about your absence. Ah, here is the essence of a good instructor, though it would suck to be put on the spot that way. She cares enough about participants and I suspect has a tinge of self-doubt about her performance so she asks if something is wrong. Take her up on it. Ask if the class is at a higher level than you may have realized and if that is why she doesn't do warm ups. Tell her you are having a hard time keeping up with the music or are concerned about some of the older women or that there aren't modified versions of exercises for the less fit. I bet she would appreciate the honest feedback!
Good luck, hope this helps some. Again, it is just my take from knowing our instructors and their classes.

At the end of the day it boils down to: 1)No one can please everyone all the time; 2)Everyone has their own style and preferences; 3)I should make my concerns/questions known to my friend/instructor but do it diplomatically; and 4)I can walk away and not look back with any regrets.

1)What do you mean by "proper warm up"? The length of a warm up is dependant on certain factors like the type of class, temp. of room, speed of music, type warm up moves used, age of participants. Does she stretch in the warm up? Warm up stretches have been a bone of contention forever & a day. Post workout stretches are important, but many professionals feel they're counterproductive in the warm up. I prefer to do them, but many don't.
2)Bodysculpting cues - I can only address your example. A relaxed muscle generates more power than a tense one. For biceps curls one should relax their upper arms along their sides, not allowing the elbows to lift during the curl, as opposed to "gluing" them. Movements should be performed in a relaxed, but controlled fashion, thus increasing muscle capicity & reducing the risk of injury a tense muscle creates. There are many ways of doing things & different things work for different folks, so unless she's doing something you feel endangers you/others feel free to disagree w/ her methods/cues. Otherwise it needs to be brought to her or her boss's attention.
3)Are you bothered by her discussion of herself or her loss of focus? The first can be considered unprofessional, but many people like to feel they know their instructor, so this as fine as long as she shows interest in her participants as well. The loss of focus IS unprofessional & should be addressed.
4)Music tempo - This is actually one of my pet peeves. It has become the norm for many instructors to use inappropriately fast music. Most instructors & participants don't comprehend that how you move NOT how fast you move is what makes for a good aerobic workout. Don't expect this to change, but you should mention it.
5)Style of motivation - This varies instructor to instructor, class to class. Just as you are unique so is everyone else, so what works for you won't for everyone & vice versa. It's not a matter of professionalism. In my weight lifting & kickboxing workouts I use both types of motivation, but w/ my seniors for example they receive nothing but praise.
6)Awareness of & modifications for EVERYbody - An instructor's job is to cater to the needs of the the majority. They should provide options for all levels, but this ability only comes w/ time, experience & above all the knowledge that modifications are needed. So, let her know.
7)If I have a participant that is always in class, then fails to show one day I am concerned for their welfare, not offended by their absence. I ask what happened because I'm concerned. Many people let me know ahead of time (of their own volition, not my instigation), if they can, so I don't worry. It never occured to me that this was unprofessional of me or that people might view this negatively, so I can't help you w/ this one.
I don't if this helps, but there's my two cents for what it's worth.
Good luck & take care.
