So I don't live in the USA and can't buy that new-ish Never Wet super waterproof double spray stuff. Tyvek is hard to get a hold of where I live too. But ever since the Never Wet stuff came out, one of the first things I thought of doing if I had it was to make a flat tarp with Tyvek, and then spray the heck out of it with NW.Anyone done this yet? Or something similar? Or is this where someone (probably Anna) links to a thread and makes me look foolish...... but HA! I already did a quick search and read all of this thread:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=78641No tarp test there.It just seems that because Tyvek is very water resistant and fairly cheap, that add this spray and it would be really good for things like tarps. Though I hear that it rubs off easy, but a tarp does not get that much abrasion. Maybe someone has a TT Sublite they could spray with it?I want to read about more experiments and see more nerdy pictures people!Edit: typos :/

That's funny Cesar,thanks for making me laugh :)
I like it :)
Tyvek 1443 has a hydrostatic head of 7622mm while Tyvek 1460 is 1270mm. That is enough to stop most rain. Tyvek is made from polyethylene which is naturally hydrophobic. Neverwet is Superhyrophobic and probably will not change the hydrostatic head like all other DWR treatments.Adding neverwet to tyvek will probably not make much of a difference. It will however add weight.
My take is that anything you apply to Tyvek will reduce its breathability and if you do that then you've destroyed its best quality. I agree that Tyvek 1443R--the material we use in the Sublite--is remarkably water resistant. However, it does absorb some water and takes much longer to dry out than a coated fabric. For that reason you would want to think twice about using it in wet environment, at least if you intend to carry it.-H
Yeah, I can see why one would not want to spray a Sublite considering the issue of breath-ability--thanks Henry. A tarp on the other hand, I would still be interested in seeing if this would be an effective thing to do. While Tyvek is very water resistant, NW could in theory make it waterproof and unable to absorb any water. And cheap to boot.Just a brainstorm I had. I am surprised there seems to be not as much experimentation with NW now that it has been on the market for some time.

SPOTTED: Miley Cyrus, one of our favorite young starlets, doing some yoga on the beach… in a little black bikini! While vacationing in Costa Rica with fiancé Liam Hemsworth and his family, Miley Cyrus got to take a break from all the craziness and just relax. And nothing's more relaxing than some yoga on an exotic beach, right?
Throughout the years, surfers from all around the world have been drawn to Costa Rica's surftastic waves and warm waters, so you know Liam and Chris Hemsworth had to test it out! While the brothers were out catching some waves, Miley Cyrus stripped down to a little black bikini and sneaked some yoga time in. She even shared a pic with her Twitter followers and humbly tweeted, "Rare 2 get a moment to thank the universe for all my blessings in the form of yoga in a place like this."
Like some other celebs, Miley Cyrus is on a gluten-free diet and she is constantly being snapped by the paparazzi going to and from the gym. Whatever she's doing seems to be working for her! Over the past few months, we've been noticing a change in Miley Cyrus and her general appearance; she's ditched her "good girl" look and long beachy waves in favor of the "bad girl, rocker chick" look, complete with bleach blonde punky pixie cut. And that cheeky little black bikini of hers fits right into her new look!
What do you think of the new Miley Cyrus? Hot or not? Steal this yogi's little black bikini look with the Bel Air Bandeau from Vitamin A and Rio Ruffle Scoop Bottom from Vitamin A Silver.

The Modern Pillory
12:00 AM, Jun 8, 2002
The prime minister has recently declared that he opposes public Internet pillorying in principle but does not know how it can be stopped, because the Internet is and should be freely accessible. Moreover, according to the prime minister, he does not have the budgetary power to fund a counseling program. In the prime minister's benign world, good sense will prevail, and the people will find their own solutions, aided by the public "reporting" system. Terrible but true!
The legal philosopher and pedophile Mr. Brongersma, veteran senator in the Dutch Labor Party, has campaigned his whole life for understanding for his pedophilic countrymen. He began this campaign in fearless fashion after he himself served a prison term for taking unwelcome intimate liberties with a minor. Despite a finding that the liberties had not been entirely unwelcome by the minor in question, which from a logical and formal standpoint would have been exculpatory, the justice system marched ahead. This was in the 1950s.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Brongersma gradually rehabilitated himself. This period saw the invention of the birth control pill, sexual liberation, and acceptance of homosexuals. Why not allow pedophilic sex, under the strict proviso that the child must accept it voluntarily and willfully, with no coercion? This enlightened credo has since been abandoned, in favor of that of the hoi polloi, to the effect that a child is not a whole being but is devoid of sexual appetites, until he becomes an adult.
We are far from the concept that Brongersma attempted to promote. Instead, we assert that everything is controllable and manageable. How and why do we achieve this control? Merely by imagining it!

Outfield: Mets interested in Cory Sullivan
Troy Renck of the Denver Post believes the Mets are interested in free-agent OF Cory Sullivan, who was non-tendered in December.
The 29–year-old Sullivan, who bats left-handed, is a career .279 hitter, with a .330 OBP and just eight HR in 927 at bats for the Rockies, during which he hit .269 away from Colorado.
I'm thinking Sullivan must be viewed as a potential replacement for Endy Chavez, who was traded to Seattle, since he is most known for his defense. However, isn't that what Jeremy Reed is for? My guess is the Mets once expressed interest in Sullivan, knowing they might trade Chavez, but before they acquired Reed.
The Padres, Rangers, Marlins and D'Backs have all been linked in rumor to Sullivan during the off-season.
Speaking of back-up outfielders…
The Red Sox are close to signing free-agent OF Rocco Baldelli to a one-year deal, according to the Boston Globe.
I have been sent a lot of e-mail from readers who wanted to Baldelli. I don't get the love affair. He's a good hitter, sure, but he's getting older, he is struggling with a unique 'energy-depleting health disorder,' he was in search of a guaranteed contract, and the Mets already have Fernando Tatis, Daniel Murphy, Ryan Church, Angel Pagan and Reed, and are also apparently interested in Sullivan. So, it's nothing against Baldelli, it's just, I am not sure where he fits in.

Best In Show Daily's Senior Editor Christi McDonald reports on the newly formed "Canine Alliance," a grassroots organization formed in the wake of this year's Crufts dog show. On March 16, a large group of fanciers gathered in Birmingham, England, to discuss the fallout from this year's requirement that 15 "high profile breeds" undergo veterinary examination before being allowed to compete in the Groups. Representing the views of breeders, exhibitors and judges in future negotiations with the Kennel Club, the new organization has adopted the motto, "Responsible for Pedigree Dogs." Learn how the group voted to petition the Kennel Club to acknowledge that the system used at Crufts 2012 is flawed and find out how you can lend it your support.
In today's Breeder Buzzwords, the "Apollo of Dogs" is profiled as a Colossus that inspires awe. Easily admired – even adored – the Great Dane is a sculpted tower of strength, dignity and elegance with a legion of devoted worshipers.

Grassroots Movement Begins in Reaction to Crufts Barring Dogs from CompetitionBy Christi McDonald
On the evening of March 16, 2012, following the Crufts dog show, 320 fanciers gathered at the National Motorcycle Museum near the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham, England, to discuss the fallout from this year's requirement that 15 "high-profile breeds" undergo veterinary examinations before being allowed to compete in the Groups. As most of our readers know, six of those Best of Breed winners were not approved to continue on to the Groups, including the Basset Hound, Bulldog, Clumber Spaniel, Mastiff, Neapolitan Mastiff and Pekingese.
The initial agenda for the meeting was, according to well-respected judge Andrew Brace, "to point out to the Kennel Club that the way the 15 breeds were targeted and humiliated at Crufts is unacceptable." more
Much of the breeder's language is derived from domesticated livestock or veterinary science. Veterans who've spent a lifetime perfecting their own family of purebreds use agricultural and medical terms with confidence. When noted breed authorities get together, the dialog that results can effortlessly span the broadest topics, although the words spoken will often have the narrowest of definitions. more

|The Game Story:
|ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. — Starting 0-3 in Commonwealth Conference play was not something the Elizabethtown College men's lacrosse team would allow to enter its collective mind. The Blue Jays played with a vigor against their rivals from Messiah and Cory Boushell scored his first hat trick of the season in a 10-8 win at Wolf Field Wednesday afternoon. The victory moved E-town right back into the thick of the league playoff race with a showdown against Albright in its home finale looming Saturday.
Sean O'Neill's 10th goal of the year at 10:41 of the first quarter answered an early man-up marker for the Falcons (6-3, 1-1 CC). O'Neill, Derek Kline and Donnie Krausse each scored their 10th goals of the season in the win, giving the Blue Jays five double-digit goal scorers this season.
Messiah went back in front a few minutes later behind James Baden's 12th goal. Nate Nester assisted on a Falcon goal for the 12th time this season by setting up Baden.
Wednesday's game was close all the way, an expected outcome from two bitter rivals. The game was knotted after a period and the Jays (6-5, 1-2 CC) held a 5-4 edge at halftime.
Momentum stacked up in E-town's favor during the third quarter, as the Blue Jays secured goals from Krausse, Shawn Corcoran and Kline to pull ahead 8-5. Just 15 minutes stood between the Jays and a third win over Messiah in the last four seasons.
Nester opened the fourth quarter scoring 1:36 in off a pass from Brian Meenan. Meenan had two points entering the showdown with E-town, but he exploded for five points on two goals and three assists.
O'Neill's 11th goal of the season (second of the day) restored the three-goal lead for E-town, but again Messiah drew close. Kevan Schellenberg found the back of the net for his team-leading 28th goal at 7:34. Heath Kupecky scored MC's first and last goal. Kupecky's late strike with 1:45 remaining had the Falcons within one at 9-8.
The Blue Jays would not falter on this day, though. A pair of tough one-goal defeats solidified head coach Terry Corcoran's squad for the opportunity presented to them. Boushell capped the hat trick and the game with a goal in the final 45 seconds after Messiah sent goalie Steve Kozuhowski out of his goal to act as another defender.
"Turnovers were the difference in this game" commented Corcoran. Were they ever. The Blue Jays forced many and the Falcons contributed to a few. In the end, Messiah turned it over 20 times to the Jays' 12.
"This was a huge game for us, not just because of the rivalry, but also because we needed to get a 'W' in league play," said E-town's seventh year head coach. "Our guys are starting to come along and now we've got a huge one with Albright Saturday."
The defense has been steady all year and Wednesday was no exception. Starters Dillon McDevitt, Nick Thompson and Jason Kelley laid the foundation against the Falcons. Reserves Matt Frey and Brian Boring upheld that foundation. With help from the middies, E-town was able to keep Messiah's two leading scorers nearly dead silent. Schellenberg and Kyle Sproles had 57 points between them coming into the game, but left with only Schellenberg's fourth quarter goal to speak of.
Boushell totaled five points with a pair of helpers to go along with his three goals. He ran his goal scoring and points streaks to six games each. O'Neill chipped in three points for E-town and Kline had his first multi-goal game in the last seven.
Messiah's 37 shots topped E-town's 31, but the Falcons didn't generate a majority of those attempts until the fourth quarter. There, they ripped 15 chances towards the E-town cage. Brendan Corcoran stopped seven shots for the Jays.
Though they went 0-of-3 on the man advantage, the Blue Jays had their best game possession wise, with 18 successful clears on 19 attempts.
Elizabethtown will recognize its nine seniors prior to Saturday's game against 11-1 Albright. The Lions are in their inaugural season and are 1-0 in conference play after knocking off defending MAC Champion Widener last Saturday. The lacrosse team encourages the campus community to come out and show their support Saturday at 1 p.m. at Wolf Field. Admission, as it is to all regular season home games on campus, is free.

WICU/WSEE air local anti-violence spots
In an excellent and creative approach to try to stem escalating teen violence on Erie's streets, Lilly Broadcasting has enlisted sports celebrities who hail from our city to send a positive message to anyone who will listen. The group is Erie Athletes Against Violence and the first spot has hit the air from Jovan Johnson and we have it here at P&T.
We will update this post as the other videos in this series go public.
Former Erie weatherman leaves live set for son's birth
Former WSEE weather man Dave Price, who is currently on Fox 5/New York as co-anchor of Good Day New York, got an e-mail on his phone Wednesday (12-12) in the 9:00 hour of his newscast. It was telling Price that his wife was in labor, and to go to the hospital right now.
The interview with "Homeland" star Mandy Patinkin would have to wait…
This clip is making the rounds on Inside Edition and the entertainment news shows.
We wish Dave and his family all the best.
Thomas to leave Nexstar
WJET/WFXP News Director Lou Baxter tells P&T that he's on the lookout for a new primary anchor to partner with Sean Lafferty. Kim Thomas will leave at the end of the month to join the office of State Senator-elect Sean Wiley.
Lou continues:
Kim has done a great job for us the past 6 years ago, having spent the last two of them on the anchor desk with Sean Lafferty. We wish her the best of luck. We have launched a nationwide search for her replacement. In the interim, Sean will solo.
Tapes and resumes to email@example.com.
Erie news goes HD
Lilly Broadcasting has broken the High Definition barrier for daily local news in Erie.
WICU and WSEE are producing and broadcasting their news products in HD. In addition, on Monday WICU debuted their new 16:9 aspect ratio designed news set, complete with both a news desk and interview station. A brand new HD graphics package accompanied the transition, which looks big market.
Watching over a couple days you can really get the sense of what a huge undertaking this is. A month ago we began to see the beginnings of local HD origination with some syndicated programming broadcast in HD. All of the field cameras and editing equipment, studio cameras, new switchers, production suite, weather computers, and all the minutia has now been converted to the new system.
Cummings to lead Lilly newsroom
TV News headhunter Rick Gevers is reporting that Pennsylvania native Bill Cummings returns to the Keystone State to become News Director of WICU & WSEE/Erie.
Cummings replaces Lisa Adams, who steps down from the ND role after 18 months. Adams will continue to anchor newscasts at the duopoly.
Bill Cummings comes to the Snow Belt from the significantly warmer market of Yuma, AZ where he directed the news efforts of KSWT-TV, since February. Before that he worked in Tallahassee and Tucson. The Erie gig will be his third set of call letters in 2012.
Editors Note: HT to Sylvester for the head's up.
Edinboro native to appear on NBC's 'The Voice' Monday
A dozen summers ago, the family singing trio Westbrook, based in Edinboro, was a headlining act at the very first Kingdom Bound By the Bay music festival that I was part of producing when managing WCTL radio. The group had released a CD and received some national airplay for their tight familial harmonies.
Fast forward to the fall of 2012, and a member of the new generation of Westbrook's will make a national splash on NBC Monday night on "The Voice." Celica Westbrook, Edinboro native and 16-year old budding pop star now based in Nashville, will most likely appear on Monday's blind auditions that air locally on WICU at 8:00 PM.
Celica has been working with Nashville producer Keith Thomas, and has several songs released on YouTube and iTunes, yielding over 420,000 views of her music. Now she's going for a chance to work with a world-famous singing coach and the ultimate possibility of scoring a major label deal.
Celica's older brother Graham is back in Erie, attending Mercyhurst University pursuing an Intelligence degree. He'll be watching, and you can cheer for Celica too, by watching "The Voice" Monday night on WICU.
More on Celica:
West Coast pipeline continues for JET/FOX with addition of Truong
The TV business casts a wide net, and in the past several years Erie's TV newsrooms have been inhabited by journalists and meteorologists from across the country. It's not a universal trend, since there are many Erie and western PA natives on-the-air. But WJET/WFXP has a new addition to their weather team, and she booked some major air miles to get here. News Director Lou Baxter explains in an e-mail to P&T:
Meteorologist Jason Berry left us last month, and is now working for Weather Central, our weather graphics provider, in Madison, WI. He is training TV station meteorologists around the country in the use of their weather graphic systems. His replacement will be Meteorologist Linh Truong. She joins us off the air this week, and will likely make her debut on the air in a few weeks.
Linh is originally from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, but is coming to us from Sacramento, California. She has two degrees from San Francisco State University; BA in Radio & TV, and a BS degree in Meteorology. She has also completed all of the work necessary for her CBM designation. Linh previously worked as a meteorologist at a TV station in Redding, CA (KRCR~Ed.). She is a member of the AMS and the Asian American Journalists Association. We are excited to have her join our team. And we knew she'd be a great fit for Erie when she told us her favorite thing to do when not working….bowling!
Meanwhile, meteorologist Tom Atkins is currently away on company business, so meteorologist Amanda Gabeler is filling in for us. Amanda is from Rochester, NY and was formerly chief meteorologist at a station in Utica, NY. She will be with us until Tom returns.
Thanks to Lou for clearing up some of the confusion about the personnel changes on upper Peach.

Ultra-high-speed magnetic bearings
current magnetic bearings are based on reluctance forces. A magnetic flux in the air gap between the stator and rotor generates these forces, whereas the flux is regulated by stator currents. In this magnetic bearing type, the rotational speed is limited due to increasing eddy current losses in the rotor and stator iron; a limited actuator bandwidth; and a high reactive power demand. Therefore, magnetic bearings have only been successful up to rotational speeds of a maximum of 120,000 rpm. To overcome... (read more)

OKLAHOMANS who obey the law by purchasing auto insurance should cheer Insurance Commissioner John Doak's support for an effort to punish those who don't.
Doak, a Republican, is backing legislation by Rep. Mike Christian and Sen. David Holt, both Oklahoma City Republicans, that could cost drivers their license plates if they don't have liability insurance. Drivers would be given a temporary sticker for their vehicle and be fined each day until insurance is bought and verified. The bills also would increase fines for driving while uninsured and create administrative fees for uninsured drivers. Revenue from the fees would go to law enforcement and to pay for the state temporary insurance plan.
Doak's agency estimates there are about 560,000 uninsured drivers in Oklahoma. They cost the state nearly $9 million in unpaid insurance premium taxes each year, but "those millions of dollars are just the beginning," he said.
We're among those who've criticized Doak for hiring practices and for spending $170,000 to outfit his anti-fraud unit with shotguns, body armor and police-style vehicles. He's on target, though, in trying to reduce the number of uninsured drivers in Oklahoma. This is a long-standing problem, one that's understandably frustrating for the many who do follow the law.
Making words count
Gov. Mary Fallin's latest State of the State speech ran 4,750 words. It took 50 minutes to deliver, including applause. In comparison, President Barack Obama's second inaugural speech was 2,095 words. Obviously, we found far more to like in Fallin's speech than in Obama's, but we would note that brevity and clarity are virtues in public speaking. President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is around 275 words. The Declaration of Independence is roughly 1,300. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech is about 1,650 words. Even Winston Churchill's stirring "we shall fight on the beaches" speech in 1940 was shorter than Fallin's — approximately 3,950 words. Audience members can hear the best speeches just once and quote specific lines by memory, while other speeches are remembered not for what was said, but for the feeling of audience relief when they finally concluded. Strunk & White's famous composition advice also applies to speeches: Omit needless words.
Difficult to understand?
Although his colleagues insist he's an intelligent legislator, House Democratic Leader Scott Inman's typical method of operation is to act deliberately dense. This week the Del City Democrat noted Gov. Mary Fallin's tax cut would reduce annual state revenue over $100 million and that only an additional $170 million is available this budget year. When you throw in the spending increases endorsed by the governor, Inman insisted, "We simply don't see how the math adds up." Here's how: The tax cut affects only half the fiscal — not calendar — year, reducing revenue $40.7 million for the budget year and leaving $129 million for increases. House Democrats could make a serious argument against Fallin's tax cut. Instead, Inman pretends he doesn't know the difference between the calendar and fiscal years. House Democrats want to regain legislative clout. They won't get it the way Inman is going about it.
It ain't working, Scott
Inman's hectoring about fiscal responsibility apparently doesn't apply to the government his party runs in Washington. In his taxpayer-funded press release on the State of the State speech, the minority leader says not a word about the fiscal insanity taking place under the leadership of Barack Obama and U.S. Senate Democrats. Yet he did manage to borrow lines from the Obama script in invoking class envy, saying he hopes the governor recognizes that an "ethical government meets the needs of all its people, and not just the most privileged few." The Republican tax cut proposal would save money for most Oklahoma taxpayers; GOP economic development plans would create or save jobs, not just for "the most privileged few" but for middle-class citizens as well as for those who the pay the most taxes. Class warfare arguments haven't been working for Oklahoma Democrats, so we question why Inman keeps making them.

Best: Hulk Hogan may ruin Impact, but he just made that person's life
I've seen firsthand how the smarkiest, coolest wrestling fans can turn into giddy fanboys around Hulk Hogan. He may not know how to involve himself effectively in a television broadcast anymore, but the fact remains that he was the face of not one but two companies for a very long time, and always a perennial fan favourite. I may not agree with his role on Impact pretty much ever, but this is a man who genuinely knows how to treat fans, and the fact that he is still so well loved remains a testament to how legends to a little kid get to stay legends when those kids grow up.
Worst: Hogan has been around forever, might be suffering from dementia
Hogan claims that he's been around to see the company grow from teeny tiny to FULL FLEDGED MONSTER, BROTHER.
2012 gave us Aces & Eights, forgotten storylines, terrible ratings and buy-rates, and Brooke Hogan. Not everything that happened this year was bad, but Hogan is delusional if he thinks the company is in some kind of golden age that tops everything else it's ever done. It's lost some of its best wrestlers, replaced them with people who probably shouldn't be wrestling in the worst indie company you can think of, and regressed to glorifying the most socially unacceptable of opinions. I'm sorry, brother, but no. Just…no.
Worst: Six hulking dudes are chased off by one angry dude
So you're telling me that big bad Aces & Eights, guys fueled by anger, an unshakeable gang mentality, and the cast-off wardrobe of Sons of Anarchy seasons 1 through 4 are afraid of a guy who runs like John Cena with a boner? Bully Ray is arguably in the best shape of his life, and I wouldn't want to tussle with him, but you are six guys with a bat, a hammer, and a combined wrestling experience of at least 30+ years who have a deal saying Impact security can't interfere with you being there. I'm gonna pull my best Howard the Duck face and say really? Really? There's no way you can overpower Bully Ray and a man pushing 60 who can barely drag himself into the ring? Reallllly?
Worst: Hey Bully, maybe you should reconsider those blade jobs
Just because Ric Flair is gone and you're about 75 pints of blood short of your Blood on TV quotient doesn't mean Bully should keep blading himself. I'm personally not a fan of blading in the first place, but jeez. Is there anyone who thinks this looks okay?
Worst: Who ya talkin' to, Jeff?
I hope Jeff Hardy pins up glamour shots of his opponents, talks to them to get himself ready for his matches, then takes them home to put into a Martha Stewart-inspired scrapbook he keeps in his hope chest, alongside a memory quilt Terri Runnels made from her old tube tops, and empty manic panic containers from 2001.

Winter Wonders is back with its Christmas market, a big wheel and lots more attractions in Brussels, in November 2015.
A 15th edition which will be promoting foreign cultures. First and foremost, the City of Quebec, through an artistic installation called Boule de Neige and the food market with produce from the Canadian province.
Not forgetting the magnificent Christmas tree that has been donated by the city of Riga and which, standing 22 metres tall, will dominate the illuminated Grand-Place.
The 2013 edition was crowned 3rd best Christmas market in Europe, behind Strasbourg and Dresden.
New in 2015
Information about this year's Christmas market will become available in due course
New market area
This year, the Winter Wonders ice-skating rink will be located on place de la Monnaie, where, newly renovated, it will welcome young and old in a magical decor.
The new configuration re-draws the market area into a ring and allows for more fluid traffic. This change has also allowed for the chalets to be brought into place du Marché aux Poissons, also making the market more fluid and easier to navigate.

Dose escalating cohort driven study. 6 planned cohorts.
HE3286 has a potentially new mechanism of action that may improve the current therapeutic options available to patients with metabolic disorders, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In preclinical experiments, HE3286 has shown to have anti-inflammatory activity associated with corticosteroids but without the side effects known with corticosteroid use, such as immune suppression and bone loss. HE3286 has demonstrated glucose-lowering and insulin-enhancing effects in several preclinical mouse and rat models of insulin resistance. In these experiments, HE3286 lowered blood glucose levels and prevented progression of hyperglycemia and HE3286 appeared to enhance insulin sensitivity.

Growing list of wellness services available to seniors
DETROIT, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Health Alliance Plan (HAP) is adding acupuncture and chiropractic services to its Flexible Health Options Benefit for Medicare Advantage members beginning January 1, 2009. HAP's growing list of services to promote wellness encourages Medicare beneficiaries to choose activities and services they want, while putting money back in their wallets.
HAP offers a Flexible Health Options Benefit to members of HAP Senior Plus and Alliance Medicare PPO plans that reimburses members up to $20 monthly ($240 annually) toward the cost of fitness classes, swimming, yoga, Tai Chi, weight training, or other activities at any gym, fitness facility or health club either at home or abroad. Members may also choose a qualified weight management program like Weight Watchers(R), LA Weight Loss(R) or Jenny Craig(R).
"With the holiday season upon us, this is a great time to be thinking about wellness resolutions for 2009," said Karen Wintringham, vice president, Medicare and Public Sector Programs, Health Alliance Plan. "So, if you just can't resist a second helping -- know that in January,
you can take advantage of HAP's weight loss or exercise Flexible Health Options Benefit to help shed those holiday pounds."
Since the Flexible Benefit was first launched in January 2008, more than 600 HAP Medicare Advantage members have used it. This number is expected to grow in 2009 with the addition of two reimbursable complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) services.
Beginning January 1, 2009, HAP Medicare Advantage members can elect to use their benefit reimbursement of up to $20 per month for acupuncture or chiropractic services not otherwise covered by Medicare.
Approximately 20 percent of American adults have received chiropractic care, and an estimat

eavenly length." The phrase first arose in connection with Schubert's music in the midst of Robert Schumann's justly famous 1840 review of Schubert's Symphony in C Major, subsequently known as "the Great." In the annals of writing about music, Schumann's essay is one of the celebrated documents of the nineteenth century: among other connections, it memorably relates Schubert to the city of Vienna, the figure of Beethoven, and Romanticism. The phrase "heavenly length" is a favorite tourist stop in Schumann's essay, the place for which it is best known, the place one wants to see first off upon visiting the essay, unless one would rather be pleasantly taken aback by happening upon it in the course of rambling through the entire review. I will not so ramble here, despite the numerous fascination on offer throughout the review. Instead, I propose to reflect on what happened to that singular remark, how it has colored the mainstream reception of almost all of Schubert's instrumental music, and what we might ourselves discover upon reconsidering the issue of length in this music, particularly as it occurs in the pieces he wrote during the last three or four years of his life.
On the other hand, I cannot simply walk away from Schumann. The following excerpt should give some flavor of his famed review:
Here we find, besides the most masterly compositional technique, life in every fiber; coloring down to the finest gradation; meaning everywhere; sharp expression in detail; and in the whole a suffusing Romanticism such as other works of Franz Schubert have already made known to us.
And the heavenly length of the symphony, like that of a thick novel in four volumes by, say, Jean Paul, another who can never come to an end, and indeed for the best reason, to give the reader something to chew on afterwards. How this refreshes, this feeling of rich and ubiquitous abundance, so contrary to one's experience with others, when one always dreads being let down at the end and is often sadly disappointed.
Notice in these passages Schumann's emphasis on how we are left after listening to Schubert. The experience of listening to his music stays with one—it is not a thin, or a wavering, experience. Plenitude is clearly valued here.
In contrast to Schumann's ebullient praise, however, the more commonly voiced perception has always been that Schubert's instrumental works are simply too long, too repetitive. The acknowledged lengthiness of many pieces by Beethoven is said to be justified by an often monumentalized process of development and transformation—Beethoven needs his great expanses in order to establish and then complete a momentous global agenda. Schubert's lengthiness enjoys no such global justification. In fact, it is often considered to be his telling flaw. Some fifty years after Schumann's review, in 1892, Eduard Hanslick put the case sharply when he said, "If truth be told, everything about this symphony except its length may be deemed heavenly." About fifty years after Hanslick, the influential English critic Donald Francis Tovey helped perpetuate the popular idea that Schubert could not in fact handle large forms—that he substituted odd digressions and even mere repetition for the type of consequential and evolving substance one finds in the compositions of Beethoven and Brahms. For example, Tovey comments on Schubert's finales: "The enormous sprawling forms of the typical Schubert finales are the outcome of a sheer irresponsibility that has involved him in little or no strain, though he often shows invention of the highest order in their main themes."
Tovey's juxtaposition of thematic invention of the highest order with formal irresponsibility brings us back to Schumann's famous phrase and, more particularly, to its afterlife. For in referring to the great length of Schubert's symphony as heavenly, Schumann begins a long tradition of apologizing for this perceived flaw: yes, the music is too long, but it is heavenly. The notion of heavenly length became a way to express the idea of beauty prolonged solely for its own sake, to acknowledge the goodness of such beauty without fully condoning the fact that it goes on for so long in Schubert's music. As Stravinsky once quipped, in a perhaps unconscious trope of Schumann's remark: "So what if I doze off occasionally when listening to Schubert, as long as I always find myself in Paradise when I wake up?" (This is an interestingly ambivalent comment: in effect he say that the puts him to sleep, but it's nice to wake up to.) Or take Alfred Einstein's fervent declaration that "Schubert lives in the paradise of pure music making from which Beethoven was driven." This, too, is ambivalent: though Schubert may be said to live in Paradise, it is Beethoven who shares and expresses our human burden here below.
German musicologist Robert Werba considers the trope of heavenly length as part of the quaint bric-a-brac of a now outmoded image of Schubert and his world, an image that Werba captures in his phrase "die wienerische Musizierseligkeit" (the blessed state of making and hearing music in Vienna). Schubert is viewed as an innocent, blessedly plying his oar in the golden flow of Viennese melody. Who could blame him for not knowing when to stop?
Outmoded it may be, but this image of Schubert dies hard: what has been cast off in his biography is often sustained in treatments of his music. It is admittedly hard to ignore those gemütlich elements in his music that so charm us, and it is fun to think of them as distinctly Viennese. Even exceedingly sophisticated and up-to-date analyses of Schubert's music still cling to the idea of Schubert's lyricism as heavenly. Amid an ingeniously detailed analysis of Schubert's late instrumental music, for example, Peter Gülke points to the chaotic and disruptive outbursts that often occur in the middle of movements such as the Adagio of the String Quintet, and he observes that Schubert thus pays dearly for his "lyrical paradise." Beauty is here figured as a kind of heavenly state that cannot be sustained without a price. Or is it that beauty should not be sustained? For Gülke goes on to maintain that the presence of these same "disruptive forces" actually protects Schubert from the suspicion of overindulging in sensuous beauty: in other words, by including this often harrowing music, Schubert gets away with something we basically disapprove of, something indulgent, dissipated, weak. This attitude in turn motivates a ready response from the other side of the same playing field, namely, why should we disapprove of Schubert luxuriating in beauty? What puts both these views on the same field is that they both represent Schubert's lyric beauty as luxuriating, paradisiacal; both sides allow the polarity of beauty versus control, indulgence versus progress, leisure versus work, to define their experience of the music.
In spite of the longstanding attraction of such views, I would submit that Schubert's music is not about relaxed beauty, spun out at great length simply because there is less teleological impulse, less closural gravity than in music like Beethoven's. Schubert is not Beethoven on sabbatical, with a license to linger; this is not some languishing diffusion or even a sublimely indifferent, Olympian stasis. Instead, Schubert explores effects and worlds unknown to a Beethoven—his music puts into play a different physics. Thus, Schubert's pieces are not just longer, they work differently. They constitute a different order of musical being.
If the lengthiness of Schubert's instrumental music cannot be justified in the way that it can in Beethoven's music—where length seems necessary for the completion of an imposing process—how can it be? One could argue that, in Schubert, the great length is just there. In fact, it is more than just there—Schubert seems to want to make an issue of length; he seems to be telling us something by the way he makes us always aware of the sheer length of his music. Before we can speculate on what his message for us may be, we need to ask just how he in fact marks his music as being long.
he most obvious way
Schubert does so is by repeating big chunks of material quite literally, or repeating them with only one parameter changed, as, for example, with a change of key. This gives his large-scale forms a relaxed and spacious quality; they are not in a hurry, not always charging around getting things done. Especially striking is when he does this in so-called development sections; this strikes not a few critics as creating a kind of decompression at precisely the wrong moment in the life process of the sonata-form movement.
It is not just his treatment of form, though, that is marked as long—Schubert's themes taken by themselves are notable for their sheer length of utterance. What could be more exquisitely and fluidly romantic than the opening of the Violin Fantasy? It draws its first breath over eighteen slow measures, its theme arising and coalescing from the texture, like a subject taking shape.
But even when Schubert puts together a more obviously sectionalized theme, he manages to underline the quality of lengthiness, of sheer extent. Most themes in and around the Classical style rely on the notion of paired phrases as a means of comprehensible articulation. This can be a wonderfully simple mechanism, by which an initial phrase calls forth an answering phrase, as in the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. A more complex examplemay be found in the slow movement of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony, where a movingly expressive theme unfolds over the same underlying structure. In the theme from the slow movement of his String Quintet, Schubert is clearly working with phrases, but he sets them up one after the other in great parallel stretches. This type of parallel construction of phrases is more paratactic than hypotactic—more additive than hierarchical—and thus, at the level of its construction alone, such a theme will sound longer. And although there are interim arrivals, intermediary cadences, he does not close the circuit by returning to the opening tonic harmony until after fourteen long bars.
(These interim arrivals are in fact on the wrong keys [F-sharp and A]; the real arrival [on E] sounds locally like an added extension! Once again, length is placed at the foreground, for Schubert makes what would be the normative syntactic arrival sound like an addition to the length of the passage.)
Another significant factor here is the 12/8 meter (twelve notes per bar, heard as four beats containing three eighth notes apiece), a compound meter which at this slow tempo makes each beat into a space that can be filled. This is an emblematic meter for Schubert; it gives him something like a canvas. (He fills the spaces of the canvas quite floridly when the theme returns at the end.)
And even the notes themselves of Schubert's themes, their motivic content and shape, project a sense of lengthiness. Charles Rosen has discussed how the motivic content of Schubert's themes often explores a space around a center. This is a way of breaking down motivic energy—his motives grope out into the surrounding space; they do not build up potential energy and replicate themselves implacably throughout the piece (as happens, for example, in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony) The result is a slower sense of temporal unfolding.
In short, whereas a Beethoven can make us forget how long some of his music is, Schubert seems to want to remind us at every turn. He gives us time to take in his themes, as if they were works of visual art we could inspect at our leisure, or landscapes through which we could wander.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich is expected to announce his decision Wednesday whether to spare the life of a Springfield Township man scheduled to be executed June 14.
The Ohio Parole board voted 7-0 to recommend that Kasich grant clemency to Shawn Hawkins, 42.
Kasich went into a meeting 10 a.m. Tuesday with his general counsel.
"Don't infer anything from that," Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said Tuesday afternoon.
Hawkins was convicted and sentenced to die for killing two men, Terrance Richard and Diamond Marteen, who were found shot to death in a car in Mount Healthy on the morning of June 12, 1989.
"The board is not confident in the death sentence in this case, but is also not convinced that Shawn Hawkins is innocent," the board said in its May 12 ruling.
Hawkins' family and supporters insist he is innocent.
Since taking office in January, Kasich has allowed four executions to take place and followed the recommendation of the parole board each time.
The last death sentence commuted in Ohio was that of Sidney Cornwell of Mahoning County, whose death sentence was reduced to life without parole by Ted Strickland in November 2010 - the last death sentence case handled by the former governor.
Kasich himself has said there is "considerable doubt" about the Hawkins' case. Kasich, a supporter of the death penalty, has several options. He can:
Reject the parole board's recommendation and make Hawkins the fifth Ohioan executed this year.
Follow the recommendation and commute Hawkins' sentence to life without parole.
Make another decision.
Recently, Kasich told reporters, "We are not going to go forward with an execution where we are not certain."
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters calls Hawkins' innocence claim "total nonsense."
On May 17, Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Dennis Helmick denied Hawkins' request for a new trial on the 22-year-old murder charges.
Anthony Covatta Jr., Hawkins' attorney, had argued there is new evidence to be examined and that Hawkins' trial two decades ago was so shoddy that a new trial was needed. Assistant Prosecutor Ron Springman insisted all of Covatta's arguments have been decided by courts and that none of the evidence was new.

I heard of tyvak, bought some but don't know how to use it. Could anyone help me out?
You can paint it, stain it by buffing paint into it and then wiping it off, you can stitch into it and melt it (carefully!!)
It's a neat product... just start experimenting! :D

My Blog My Art
Treat it just as you would any fabric - it has the additional benefits of melting/distorting. If you iron it (between baking parchment) you will get a totally different result to if you heat it with a heat gun. You can stitch on it before melting, or after - though sometimes it can become really hard, so you risk breaking needles. Don't forget the ventilation when melting, especially if you've added paints too.
It makes great hinges, book covers, beads.... for the latter try wrapping a painted (both sides) strip of tyvek around a knitting needle, then wrap some wire over and then melt with a heat gun - you can use threads and seed beads too - but make sure the thread is 'natural' - as heating can melt through the thread and all the beads fall off - go on, ask me how I know!!! and be careful things can get hot, so don't melt and grab the bead off the knitting needle, use tweezers, cooking tongs whatever. Have fun
Thanks a lot both for your help. I'll give it a try.

America's Biggest Killers: The Chart Anti-Gunners Don't Want You To See

What we are hearing from bloviating gun control advocates in America is nothing short of emotionally driven irrationality.
According to statistics assembled from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Center for Disease Control and the Federal Government, firearms related homicides are minuscule in comparison to other the other "big killers" in the United States.
If we look at homicide statistics in the United States it's clear that more murders are committed with knives, bats, hammers and poisons than with firearms. As Kurt Nimmo recently noted, " the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outpaces the number of murders committed with a rifle."
The facts, not the drivel being spewed by the anti-gun propaganda machine, leave us wondering why some State and Federal lawmakers are so adamant about restricting the sale and ownership of handguns and rifles, especially since the majority of gun owners – close to 99% – have never committed a violent crime in their lives, let alone used a gun to do so.
Here is the chart they never want you to see:
The chart above proves that politicians and those who would disarm Americans by going so far as to call for a repeal of the 2nd Amendment have ulterior motives – or they're completely ignorant of the facts.
Perhaps their goal is to trigger a revolution in an effort to implement a total police state over the American people.
It wouldn't be the first time that a government has tried something like this.
