George Washington Slept Here FirstPosted: June 21, 2011 Filed under: History, Interviews, Photos, Presidents | Tags: George Washington, Interview, National Park Service, Presidents, Virginia, Washington 1 Comment
"A lot of people have signs on their property that say 'George Washington slept here,'" Carla tells me, "but we're the only ones that can say 'George Washington slept here first.' That's one of our little mottos here." Here, actually, quite literally: pictured above are the white oyster shell fragments marking the foundations of the plantation home of Augustine Washington and Mary Ball Washington. "Here," the historic marker reads, "on February 22, 1732, George Washington—farmer, general of the Continental Army, and first president of the United States—was born."
Funny thing is, the Memorial House, constructed on what historians thought marked the site of Washington's birth house, actually falls 100 feet away. It was built in 1931, a year before the bicentennial celebration of Washington's birth, when the Wakefield National Memorial Association scored funding from John D. Rockefeller, Jr. to secure land for the national park site. It was another six years before archeologists discovered the actual foundations above, "hidden under deepening soil and thickening underbrush for 150 years," and realized they'd been mistaken. Oops. That house, a "U-shaped timber frame dwelling," burned in a fire on Christmas Day, 1779. (This, I soon learn, is an ongoing theme in colonial presidential birthplaces. Jefferson's birth house at Shadwell turned to ash in 1770. The third president greatly mourned the loss "of every paper I had in the world, and almost every book." So years later, when he made his estate at Monticello, he demanded the kitchen be separate from the main house to prevent similar ruin. Live + learn.)
Carla works in the bookstore at the George Washington Birthplace National Monument, on Pope's Creek, the eighteenth-century tobacco farm originally settled by the first president's great-grandfather in Westmoreland County, VA. She's also executive director of the George Washington Birthplace Association and has lived in the same Colonial Beach house her whole life, so it's no wonder she's proud. "When I'm out traveling alone, when I find myself in an airport or elevator or a plane, I quiz people," she reveals a bit slyly. I ask her to clarify.
"I ask if they know where George Washington was born," she explains. "Sadly, I haven't found anyone yet who could tell me, from here to Mexico and back. So I make it a personal mission of mine to educate and invite them here. Everywhere I go."
How, I ask, do people respond to this, ermm, unsolicited pop quiz?
"Well, some of them kind of look at me like I'm crazy because they may have come from New York, where people just don't talk to strangers. But once they figure out that I'm not crazy, and if they're interested, they seem pretty glad to get the information and say they'll try to get here if they're in the area."
I'm pretty glad to get the information, if no one else.
Many of the Virginians I spoke to throughout the trip described their state in terms of national origin, as a "birthplace" of American history itself. Here is where America started, goes the refrain. Presidential birthplaces? America's birthplace.
"Virginia has been a hub of this country from day one," boasted one Staunton resident. "Virginians have shown the country's pioneer spirit all along, always."
"I mean, it's where the United States started," Sarah told me.
Hiking through John Washington's colonial tobacco farm—past sheep, pigs, horse, cattle, a costumed blacksmith worker—I almost start to feel it. This country began with fiery revolution, with musket and gunfire, with stirring rearticulations of Montesquieu and Locke. But before all that noise, a few hundred miles south, this country began with agrarian wealth and colonial slavery, in Colonial Beach, VA. "Where our founding father was founded," quips one travel guide—the first of six children, birthed in breathtaking natural seclusion on Pope's Creek Plantation. (Also born on this land were George's brother Samuel and his sister Betty.)
"It's an awesome sense that we can walk on ground that our first president walked on," says Pocahontas, an NPS worker who brags about having been one of the first women rangers in the Park Service. "He walked here and ran around as a little up-to-three-and-a-half-year-old, and probably went into the kitchen where the slaves were making food and such, and into the gardens where they were making vegetables . . . " She trails off, apparently overcome at the intersection of national heritage and mundane farm life minutia. I wait for her to go on. And here is where young George first gazed over the flowing Potomac, and here is where the toddler walked his first step, and here is where he watched a sheep being sheared . . .
As for the monument itself?
There's not much going on here today. A few senior citizens touring around. Some crops in progress. Mostly just quiet beauty, sweltering heat. In the surrounding communities, abandoned-looking clam restaurants and turkey shoot advertisements, a vicious-sounding dog tethered by a boat promising "live crabs" and "shrimp." "We're also growing tobacco," adds Pocahontas. "In our present area are some chickens. They walk around and make it feel like a farm."
Whether in 1732 or 2011, that sounds about right.

The bride was radiant and unconventional in an apricot jersey gown. The groom complemented her well in a vintage vest, sepia-colored chinos and- we may not see this again for a while- a tie! The outdoor ceremony was punctuated with the crows of wandering chickens.
The reception was held at a lovely old farmhouse belonging to Katy's family surrounded by wildflower meadows and sheltering pines.
All the couple's choices reflected their laid-back personalities and environmental consciousness. Rather than renting dishes and tablecloths, they rescued mismatched china and tablecloths from thrift stores.
The meal featured a roast pig and thoughtful selection of locally grown organic foods. Katy actually baked the cake herself. Her mother made the frosting and her friend did the decorating with poppy seeds and flowers right from the garden.
The festivities continued late into the night with live bluegrass and a bonfire. Some guests even camped on the property.
What a memorable good time! Congratulations again Katy & Stephen!

Did Colonialism Change or "Transform" Africa "Forever"?
From 1440 until 1833 the Atlantic slave trade was the principle reason for "normal" relationships between Europeans and Africans. This trade, along with other forms of commerce, allowed for a healthy, friendly and somewhat fair relationship between Africans and Europeans. After 1833—and the end of the slave trade—the relationship between Africans and Europeans took such a significant turn that it would change the African continent significantly. Whereas Afro-centric scholars have argued that colonialism changed or "transformed" Africa "forever", and that the African culture was evolving regardless of the past encounters or relationships with Europeans. Euro-centric scholars argue that Europeans made a positive impact in Africa. That European intervention allowed the African to modernize into the global community. The colonialism of Africa transformed the continent of Africa forever based on economical, religious, and political transformations that changed the continent and the development of African.
The economic relationship with Europeans and Africans changed quickly after the abolishment of the slave trade. Europeans experiencing the Industrial Revolution required more raw materials in order to produce their products. Likewise, Slavery was no longer required and Europeans and Africans both transitioned to meet each other's needs. The European perspective, given in Roland Oliver's and Anthony Atmore's Africa Since 1800, gave the British credit for stopping slavery and bringing progress to Africa. Moreover, they blame the Africans for continuing slavery through illegal shipments overseas which were intercepted by the British Navy. Likewise, the European also looked at commercial trading as mediation between inter-ethnic Africans at wars. Oliver and Anthony put the European perspective of Africa as one of chaos and of a "hobbesian" state of nature before common law was set by the Europeans (Oliver and Anthony, 2003: p124).
On the contrary, according to the Afro-centric scholar, A.A. Boahen, African Perspectives on Colonialism, he claims that economic and social progress was ongoing in Africa before the Europeans colonized. That the slave trade was in decline and the transition to raw Ramirez 2
materials and products had already started. Moreover, the economic change in Africa was an African "revolution". That the mood of change was disrupted by the European transformation of the continent; therefore changing the continent forever (A.A. Boahen, 1989: p94).
Similarly, both parties do agree that change was happening and was inevitable. Slavery had come to an end for the Europeans and an African change to the economic needs of Europe was needed. On the other hand, Africans had been trading with Europeans for over 400 years before colonization. The European had no reason for their aggressive takeover of the African economy. The Berlin Conference of 1884 did not involve Africans and only settled European claims to Africa. According to Khapoya, the African saw this as the most significant reason for the changes in Africa today (Khapoya, 2010: p107). Moreover, economic change in Africa came to benefit the European's "superior complex" with no intentions of African interest in mind.
Because of the "superiority" factor, the Europeans saw the African as a child-adult not able to make "complicated" decision in their world. European colonist simply "took the reins" from the Africans. Likewise, where Europeans could, they continued to use the labors of the African for exporting the materials from the continent. However, in other places, like East Africa, the Europeans were met with resistance and failed to colonize. On the contrary, according to Gilbert and Reynolds, self preservation was important to Africans. If the African could benefit from the economic changes imposed by the Europeans, he would accept it (Gilbert and Reynolds, 2008: p.287). Therefore, colonial...

I was a little disappointed with this box. It claims on the Memebox site that the box is "packed with beauty products made from organic herbs such as lavender, tea tree, chamomile, or peppermint". The box didn't end up including much of those. Instead it was much more floral, which really isn't my thing. But overall it was still a nice box of goodies.
1. Calmia Rooibos Aqua Spinkler Gel. An all-in-one skin booster, toner, and emulsion with a thicker texture. Once applied thins out and is absorbed by skin.
2. Calmia Herb Cleansing Oil Gel. Created with argan oil, lavender, rosemary, chamomile, basil leaf, and green tea extracts. This cleanser goes on like a gel cleaner but then lathers up when water is applied to cleanse deep.
3. Skinfood Bath Salt Honey Jasmine. Meant to alleviate and replenish your tired body and soul. I wasn't really a fan of the scent, it's pretty strong.
4. Nasarang Herb BB SPF50+. I'm just not that into BB & CC creams. But this one was right on par with all the other ones I've tried. A little on the pricey side though – $46.
5. Rose Mine Azulene Calming Gel. Formulated with chamomile extracts to alleviate redness, smooth out roughened skin texture, and even reduce red blemishes. Notes that it great for using with a sunburn or after long sun/heat exposure.
6. Kskin Rose Sense 100% Essence Oil. For use a perfume, bath oil, or massage oil. Strong rose scent, so not my favorite.
This month Memebox is offering my readers $5 off any purchase! Just use code: D6BHT2 at checkout.

This may be the worst one yet:
Over the top of Telegraph Hill, make that Coit Tower as being more symbolic, these heated novellas star experienced women who make the penises of men salivate. OURS FOR THE NIGHT contains three equatorial hot erotic tales that can be summed up by Noelle's friend Isabel who suggests she try bukkake with five to six men jacking off on her naked body instead of vanilla ice cream. Fans of erotica that run the gamut will enjoy spending the night with these courtesans. link
Not for everyone but more than just for those penis envy wanting to play the Game link
His head tells him to keep going as no good deed goes unpunished; but his lower head wins the debate link
SASHA is a terrific lead character struggling with the hostilities while also being a cock-sure combatant link
The story line is fast-paced from the opening scene when he rescues her and she accuses him of the "penis-eye thing" and never looks back (pun intended). link
She and her new BFFs (the profanity queen and the retired porn star) bring humorous withering condemnations of Southern California especially men who think with their lower head like Xander. link
This one is so bad, I put the entire fake review in here (and I thought the other one was the worst):
In Phoenix half-breed Dr. Kiera Matthews meets with diminutive Council member Danen to argue that it past time for the Cunts to go for peace with the Klatch. A quarter of a century ago the clan split into civil war and now the Cunts hide amongst humans with Kiera their only medical practitioner. He calls her a traitor just like her purebred mom; irate she kicks his butt in with moves she learned from her human military father.
The stranger watches her take out the arrogant counselor and his two guards. He applauds her skills even as she never believed in love at first sight, but now accepts lust at first sight. Ryan is the Prince of Klatch and recognizes Kiera as his mate, the Healer who will bring the divided clan back together, which is her life goal dedicated to her late mom. As a being who thrives on sexual energy, he knows she is the one because his dreams have changed from dark hair to a specific blonde. However, though she relishes the heights of passion he brings to her, she has doubts that a Halfbreed can be destiny's darling for the Klatch and the Cunts.
The third "Seduction" erotic romantic science fiction (see VISIONS OF SEDUCTION and CEREMONY OF SEDUCTION) is a terrific thriller with some paranormal elements enhancing the exciting story line. The lead couple is a delightful pairing in and out of the boudoir as they feed off of each other while also encouraging one another. Readers will be seduced by Cassie Ryan's enticing sexual healing (Marvin Gaye style) "Seduction" science fiction saga. link

Frequently Asked Questions:
What happens after I have decided to sponsor a student?
After we receive your first payment we will send you a letter of introduction, a photograph and biographical information about your student.
What is the length of my sponsorship?
The sponsorship program is for one year; however, we encourage you to continue sponsoring your student as long as he/she is in school.

This is a poetic, deeply affecting book – the story of what it means to kill a dragon, and what it means to be a dragon.
John Aversin killed the Golden Dragon of Wyr to protect his people. He's a crafty, laughing man, a scholar and an engineer with a magpie mind endlessly fascinated by all the scraps of learning he can glean from the decaying, disregarded books of his far northern province. (And one of the little details that first made me love this book, when I was young? The heroes wear glasses.) The dragon, on the other hand, was just a dragon. It's when we meet the next one that we begin to understand…
To be a mage, you must be a mage. The power, the control, the understanding that magic stands for is an incredible temptation – either devote yourself to magic and nothing else, or be a failure and live in the messy, confusing, distracting world. Mages – and this is a recurring theme in a lot of Hambly's work – are outside the law, dead to society, not held by the bonds of human fellowship.
Interestingly, though, Hambly shows us this temptation quite the other way around. Jenny Waynest, our viewpoint character, is forever reproaching herself, and trying not to resent her family, for all the wasted time, all the petty distractions of the world, everything that takes her away from scholarship and power.
That's power, of course, as an end in itself – the diamond-bright glittering wonderfulness of competence and skill. It's only the antagonist whom we see wielding power for her own ends, rather than to protect someone else or – the truest measure of magic – because there's simply no way not to.
Gareth, our third protagonist, is also a scholar – an expert in one very narrow field – but the way he grows through the story is to learn to prize real life, real people, over the heroes of songs. Magic, fantasy, and dragons are all amazing things, but they are perilous as well.
This book is an interesting restatement of one of Nietzsche's meatier soundbites – when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back into you. Look into the Perilous Realm, and leave some part of yourself behind. What effect does that fragment of soul have?

Artists who have participated in exhibitions at Griffin Gallery are featured below.
Alastair Gordonwww.alastairjohngordon.com
'Central to my practice is the notion of a painting as a cultural artefact. At first these are paintings about paintings: images that oscillate between artefact and artifice. Certain questions emerge about the craft of the artist, residual materials and replication of painted objects.
Notions of authenticity and illusion lie at the heart of my artistic enquiry. I find myself looking for evidence of 'the real thing'. I look for evidence of the artists process before and after a work is completed. Artists materials such as masking tape and paper are rendered in paint to appear as taped or pinned on a wooden surface, a practice that refers to a specific form of illusionism that proliferated in 17th century Northern Europe called quodlibet (what you will).
As Jean Baudrillard wrote in The System of Objects: "We are fascinated by what has been created…because the moment of creation cannot be reproduced."
Exhibited at Griffin Gallery in Perfectionism (Part III.): The Alchemy of Making in October-November 2016; in the Griffin Art Prize 2015 shortlist exhibition, November - December 2015.

NAPLES, Fla. – The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth collected its seventh-straight victory, picking up a 7-4 win over Brockport on Monday before dropping its first game of the season with a 3-0 loss to Nazareth (N.Y.) on the fourth day of spring training in Florida.
The Basics
Scores: UMass Dartmouth 7, Brockport 4 | Nazareth 3, UMass Dartmouth 0
Records: UMass Dartmouth (7-1) | Brockport (3-3) | Nazareth (3-1)
How it Happened
UMass Dartmouth 7, Brockport 4
The Corsairs recovered after two errors in the opening inning to lay four runs on the Eagles in the third, with junior Hannah Smith (Attleboro, Mass.) remaining unbeaten in the circle in the first game.
Smith went the full seven frames, allowing nine hits with three earned runs and a strikeout. Freshmen Annika Evensen (Lake Forest, Calif.) and Cierra Sheerin (Bridgewater, Mass.) and senior Marissa Spinuzzi (Fair Lawn, N.J.) all cracked multiple hits, with Sheerin and Spinuzzi driving in a pair of runs apiece.
Both teams came out flat in the first, totaling three errors on defense, but UMass Dartmouth was able to edge ahead. After an earned Brockport run in the top of the frame, an Eagle error sent Emily Colton (Kingston, Mass.) home and Nicole McSweeney (Bridgewater, Mass.) to third. In the next at-bat, Evensen put the Corsairs up a run with an RBI single.
In the next two stanzas, Smith kept Brockport off the board and out of the hit column, and the Corsairs caught fire against Eagle starter Lindsay Wachna (Syracuse, N.Y.) in the fourth. The first four batters reached base, and Sheerin gathered the first RBI by dropping a perfect bunt. Spinuzzi then stepped in to smash a double and plate two runs, and scored when freshman Brittany Polk (Bridgewater, Mass.) singled to right center and bump UMass Dartmouth ahead by five.
Brockport cut back into the lead with a run apiece in the fourth and fifth, and relief pitcher Becky Knorr (Greece, N.Y.) kept the Corsairs off the board until Sheerin knocked in McSweeney in the sixth. Knorr went 3.2 innings with three strikeouts and allowed just three hits, and received one more run from her offense in the seventh.
Nazareth 3, UMass Dartmouth 0
Golden Flyer senior Rachel Mertens (Syracuse, N.Y.) permitted just six hits while striking out five Corsairs in the second game to keep UMass Dartmouth off the scoreboard for the first time on the young season.
For UMass Dartmouth, Colton was the only player to lace multiple hits, going 2-for-4, and three pitchers combined to allow six hits and two earned runs while fanning four.
The squads combined for just four hits through the first three and a half innings, and Nazareth was finally able to break through in the fourth. With runners on second and third, Meghan Barry (Fulton, N.Y.) drove a ball to right center off UMass Dartmouth's Gabby DeLeon (Hanson, Mass.) to drive in both teammates. DeLeon escaped the remainder of the inning with back-to-back groundouts.
The Corsairs challenged in the fifth, with Rebecca Field (Brentwood, N.H.) and Colton dropping back-to-back hits, but Mertens stranded both runners. In the Golden Flyers' at-bat, Marissa Tortora (Rochester, N.Y.) sent a deep shot to the left-field fence, plating Sarah Papponetti (Albion, N.Y.) all the way from first for the contest's final run.
Evensen tossed the final two innings for UMass Dartmouth, striking out three of the nine batters she faced and permitting a run. In the first three innings, freshman Victoria Woodward (Middleboro, Mass.) allowed three hits with one run earned and a solitary strikeout.
Inside the Numbers
- Smith rises to 4-0 in the circle for the second-straight spring training trip; last year, she made it through her entire Florida trip without a loss, returning to Massachusetts with a 7-0 record.
- Monday's loss to Nazareth marked the first time that UMass Dartmouth has been shut out of a game since April 30, 2016 in a 2-0 loss at Western Connecticut.
- Through eight games, seven Corsairs are batting above .400, with four sitting at .500 or better.
- Brockport and Nazareth both batted .237 against UMass Dartmouth as units on Monday, the highest batting average the Corsair pitching staff has allowed thus far.
Up Next
UMass Dartmouth will return to North Collier Park on Wednesday, squaring off with Marian (Wis.) at 9 a.m. before meeting Brockport again at 11 a.m.

Eagle Scout candidate paves way for HPD canoe flights
David Forwarder III confronts life challenges that many people don't, but this Findlay 17-year-old is far from average. For example, Forwalder, a member of Boy Scout Troop 310, an American Legion Post 3 charter that includes individuals with multi-handicaps, earned his Eagle Scout wings last weekend in Hancock Park District's Riverbend Recreation Area.
Forwalder, with the assistance of his parents David and Melissa, sister and brother-in-law Samantha and Clyde Milum and Scoutmaster Doug Couchot, built a canoe path on the south side of the Blanchard River just downstream of the Township Road 208 park's covered bridge. The Scout recognized the need for the project after consulting with Bill Patch, HPD Park Operation Manager.
"I talked to Bill about helping to make it easier to get canoes in the water," said Forwalder. Using his share of Scouter account funds - monies that he earned based on hours he spent selling Boy Scout popcorn - Forwalder purchased pavers from Northwest Masonry. As park visitors stopped to watch the Scout and his friends and family work, the last paver was hammered in place under Saturday's autumn sun.
According to Boy Scouts of America, four of every 100 boys who enter the organization's numbers achieve their Eagle Scout award. Exactly 54,366 young men became Eagle Scouts in 2015 - 6.57 percent of eligible Scouts (registered Boy Scouts or male Venturers who are under 18.) Because of this Findlay member of the 2016 Eagle Scout class, watercraft enthusiasts will enjoy more time on the water and an easier in-and-outtake. "I'll tell you what people are going to say," said Forwalder's proud father. "They're going to look at that path and say it looks great."

The Tax Management Transfer Pricing Report ™ provides news and analysis on U.S. and international governments' tax policies regarding intercompany transfer pricing.
By David I. Kempler, Esq., and Elizabeth Carrott
Minnigh, Esq.
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, Washington, DC
In CCA 201351018, the IRS's Chief Counsel's Office resolved
issues regarding employment tax, reporting of income and procedural
matters that arose after a two-person partnership became a
disregarded entity when one partner bought out the interests of the
other partner and then hired the former partner as an
employee. The Chief Counsel's Office advised that the new
disregarded entity must retain the same employer identification
number (EIN) for employment tax purposes it used as a partnership.
However, for all federal tax purposes other than employment tax
obligations, the Chief Counsel's Office advised that the
disregarded entity should generally use the taxpayer identification
number of its owner.
The partnership terminated when partner B became an employee and
partner A was now the only remaining partner. Notwithstanding the
termination of the partnership under state law, partner A continued
to file employment tax returns under the former partnership's name
and EIN. Additionally, notwithstanding the contract stating that
partner B was now an at-will employee, partner B received Form
K-1s, not Form W-2s.
Under §701, and the Treasury regulations thereunder, a
partnership is not subject to tax, but rather the income passes
through to its partners, who pay tax on partnership income in their
individual capacities. Income (or loss) is allocated to each
individual partner's capital account, and is taxed to the partner
without regard to when or whether any income is ever
distributed. Section 6031 provides that a partnership must
file an information tax return, and issue Form K-1s to its
partners. Under the entity classification rules set forth in Regs.
§301.7701-1 through -4, an entity must have two or more owners to
be a partnership and, if there ceases to be two or more partners,
the partnership terminates and the entity becomes a disregarded
entity. While a disregarded entity is not generally treated as
separate from its owner for income tax purposes, it is treated as a
separate entity for purposes of employment tax and certain excise
The Chief Counsel's Office observed that the partnership became
a disregarded entity when it ceased to have more than one partner,
at which time the partnership ceased to exist. The Chief Counsel's
Office noted that, under Rev. Rul. 2001-61, 2001-2 C.B. 573, when a
partnership becomes a disregarded entity, and the disregarded
entity chooses to calculate, report, and pay its employment tax
obligations under its own name and EIN pursuant to Notice 99-6,
1999-1 C.B. 321, the disregarded entity "must retain the same EIN
for employment tax purposes it used as a partnership." The Chief
Counsel's Officel noted that, while Notice 99-6 was obsoleted by
Regs. §301.7701-2(c)(2)(iv)(B), the regulation also provides that
the disregarded entity reports employment tax obligations at the
entity, not owner, level. Accordingly, the Chief Counsel's Office
concluded that the employment tax returns were properly filed under
the former partnership's old EIN.
However, with respect to income or losses attributable to
business activities after the former partnership became a
disregarded entity, they should be reported by the sole owner on
Schedule C to his Form 1040.
The Chief Counsel's Office advised that, since the former
partnership's employment tax returns properly used the former
partnership's EIN, rather than its sole owner's social security
number, the returns were validly filed for purposes of the statute
of limitations. Accordingly, the Chief Counsel's Office concluded
that the IRS Examination Division would need to request an
extension of the statute of limitations to continue its
examination. The Chief Counsel's Office advised that partner A
should sign the statute extension consent in his capacity as the
owner of the disregarded entity.
Finally, the Chief Counsel's Office advised that any notices
should be issued to partner A as the owner of the disregarded
entity because the partnership ceased to exist when its partnership
was reduced to one partner.

Streng, 700 T.M., Choice of Entity, and in Tax
Practice Series, see ¶4060, Termination of a Partnership.

Express Picks Flagship Locations on Two Coasts
- Jul 25, 2012
Express Inc. is closing some stores and opening more these days, and the specialty retail apparel chain's has picked marquee locations in Manhattan and San Francisco for its next stops. Express has entered into lease agreements that will open the doors of two flagship stores totaling 46,000 square feet between them. Scheduled to open next year, the new flagships will be behemoths compared to the typical Express footprint, which ranges in size from 6,500 to 7,500 square feet.
In New York City, Express signed a 15-year lease with SL Green Realty Corp. and joint venture partner Jeff Sutton for digs at 1552-1560 Broadway in Times Square. The 30,000-square-foot space will offer shoppers three levels of wares to peruse. "This new location will include prominent signage, which will allow us to showcase the Express brand to the approximately 40 million tourists who visit Times Square each year, the 1.9 million people who walk through Times Square each day and the 3,000 people who work there," said Michael A. Weiss, president and CEO of Express, during the company's first-quarter earnings conference call in May.
On the West Coast, the fashion retailer will set up shop in San Francisco in a 16,000-square-foot space at 301 Geary St., a building owned by Handlery Hotels Inc. The store will span two floors, in addition to space on the mezzanine level.
The announcement of the two new leases dovetails with Express's expansion strategy, which calls for a combination of openings and closures and openings. In the first quarter, the company revealed four new stores in its new design format and closed the doors of seven shops. But there will be more debuts than exits. "For the year we remain on track to open 30 new stores including seven stores in Canada while remodeling 15 stores in our new store design and closing 12 existing locations," Weiss said.

NEW YORK — President Reagan renewed his commitment to the Nicaraguan insurgents Sunday, though he appeared to shift the focus of his Administration's policy away from the military situation to the need to restore democracy to the Central American country.
"This Administration's support of the Nicaraguan freedom fighters in their struggle for peace and democratic government will not change unless the regime in Nicaragua accedes to the democratic aspirations of the Nicaraguan people," he told the American Newspaper Publishers Assn., which had gathered on Ellis Island in New York Harbor in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.
Won't Halt Support
"For as long as I am President, I have no intention of withdrawing our support of these efforts by the Nicaraguan people to gain their freedom and the right to choose their own national future," he added.
Reagan called on Congress to renew funding for the contras , saying: ". . . I stress the danger of the course argued by some in the Congress, that the most expeditious route to peace in Central America is abandoning our commitment to the Nicaraguan freedom fighters."

Master planned communities (MPCs), where the entire town is planned out in advance, have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps some of the most memorable ones following World War II were the Levittowns in Long Island, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. MPCs today are thriving around the world and in the U.S.
Ranking of the top 20 MPCs in the U.S. for 2013 was completed by John Burns Real Estate Consulting, http://www.realestateconsulting.com/ which collected data on the top 100 MPCs.
So where were sales the greatest in 2013?
The top 20 communities completed 15,338 sales in 2013, up 11 percent from 2012. Eight of the top 20 and three of the top 10 MPCs were located in the Houston Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Several of these communities were restricted in sales in 2013 due to a lack of available lots.
To read the entire article from John Burns, (a great blog you may wish to bookmark), click http://www.realestateconsulting.com/blog/ken-perlman/huge-year-top-20-master-planned-communities
My outlook for MPCs in 2014? Even more sales given growing construction almost nationwide. An increase of 20 percent or more would not be surprising at all.

Pretty funny.
It all started with an eBay auction for a new G4 Powerbook. My friend Cory wanted me to sell it for him just days after he bought it. Probably because he realized that, aside from looking cool, he had no real use for it. For the sake of an easy sale, I just pretended to sell it as my own, with a starting price of $1700, and the "Buy It Now" option for $2100.

25.02.2014. This afternoon, residents of the city of Simferopol,
and other cities and towns of the Crimea, will hold a rally near the
walls of the Parliament and Government of the Republic of Crimea.
The main requirement of the protesters is the respect of our
rights. We will require local authorities to carry out the will of the
people. We will require that local authorities must not follow criminal
orders of the fascist regime in Kiev.
If the local authorities
refuse to fulfill our requirements, we will make the head of the Crimea

The truth was I didn't know how do create a successful watercolor underpainting. There came a time that I decided to conquer my aversion. I paid close attention to the masters of the underpainting. Richard McKinley was a great help to me. He told me that if I wanted to do better underpaintings then to just do underpaintings.....lots of them. And I was not to worry about putting pastel on them. Just practice, practice and more practice.
|the watercolor underpainting on Pastel Premiere white paper
It worked! I still have room for improvement but I now embrace watercolor and love the effects I can get. I have written several blog articles about the watercolor underpainting process. I decided to put all of these articles together into one resource. I made a Readlist with them.
What's a Readlist? A group of web pages—articles, recipes, course materials, anything—bundled into an e-book you can send to your Kindle, iPad, or iPhone.

Where are the children of yesteryears?
At some point, I was aware of a longing , to run down and pick up the baby- to hold a baby, to cuddle it, to talk to it- to hear it make gurgling sounds- to smell its baby smell-
…There is this ad on TV( Johnsons baby product- obviously),in which the mother is so moved by the sight of her sleeping baby, and then there is this another one in which this kiddo upon observing a leaky pipe waddles off after swathing the leak with its own diaper! Another one in which the mother is speaking on the phone while keeping an eye on her baby- and suddenly the baby takes its first unsteady steps- she's left holding the phone open mouthed- totally mesmerized by the magic unfolding in front of her-
My brother sends us the video of his toddler- and I think its so nice to have such memories recorded- I don't have any of my sons- sometimes, when I read through old diary entries of my sons in their childhood, I feel a kind of loss- and I have less such records of my younger son- be it snaps or diary entries- and I feel so many beautiful memories have slipped beyond reach- and I enjoy reading fizo's, Priya's, and ano's accounts of their babies-
and though I'm relieved that the sleepless nights- colic and other childhood ailments are behind me- still sometimes, I feel like revisiting those memories yet again…
Natasha Josefowitz
Where are the children of yesteryears?
Where is the infant suckling at my brest
I find no traces of her
In that other young mother…
Where is the little boy,
Who crept into my bed?
Is there anything left of him
In that balding young man?
My little children
Are no longer
They live only in old photographs-
Wouldn't it be wonderful
If all our children
From all their past b'days
Could visit us just once in a while!

I cant say I empathize with you, ardra, no children yet ! :)
But it is a tad saddening to see married couples viewing children all too often as something to be "afraid of" !
Where are the children of yesterday.. and where are the eager parents of yesteryears ! :P

well, they are very much around, though after their kid is born uber :-p
I guess its as much paranoia as you see around with people hesitating to take the big step towards marriage, arranged or otherwise. Its a handful of choices people have now, that didnt quite exist before and the perennial insecurity of letting go of the backfoot while the front foot wants to stride on :-p
nice blog there btw ardra..like uber, self wont claim to empathize.

Hey Ardra,
Very lovely blog...very true and heartfelt as your writing always are.
I cant say I can empathize because I am still in the sleepless night, "sauce-over-the-lounge", sticky fingers and stuffed toys everywhere stage...but it has changed so fast from bibs, bassinets and first words to "Mum, let "I" talk".
They grow up too soon...and one day a gurgle becomes a memory :-)

speaking for myself, there are days when you wish you could freeze your kid from growing up any more, and then there are days when you wish they'd just grow up sooner :)

Hey Ardra, Nice site and new comments style too!! Missed ya.
Nice post.. guess it feels like that.. cos I see my mom go on and on about when my sis and i were little.. Sometimes I want to tell her, "mom, I heard that a gadzillion number of times.." but then when I see the excitement in her eyes [it doesnt feel like she is talking about us, but rather some little kids that only she knows and we dont!!].. I dont feel like interrupting her.

Capt. Scott was greeted with a wonderful turn out of loyal die-hard anglers eager to wet the lines in quest of the winter kings! We don't read the reports...We make the reports being the only fishing boat on the grounds today the ISLAND CURRENT III was able to dial-in to the cod. With lots of limits and many other anglers dangerously close to their limit... hi-hook was Steven S from New York with 17 Keepers. Lots of double headers today as the weather, although cold was a picturesque day. Today, the cod were honed in on the fresh clams and didn't want to touch the jig. At the Island Current Fleet there is no fluff factor or recycled pictures just pure production and effort! We are sailing tomorrow, Super Bowl Sunday and all tickets can be purchased online at Islandcurrent.com or if you would prefer to pay cash please call/text Captain Chris at 917.417.7557

Heart's Club Classics with Annaliese 7pm - 10pm
So today has been made up of ordering a fence panel and house hunting. Why is my life soooo rock and roll??
I have noticed the housing market jumping out of the blocks this year though, have you? It seems that due to the lack of properties on the market and the high demand of people wanting to move, prices are high and they are selling almost as soon as they are put up for sale. I spoke to one estate agent who told me one particular property had 27 viewings on Saturday and achieved the asking price (which in my eyes was well over priced anyway). It's scary isn't it! Wish me luck, all I'm trying to do is move from my little 2 bed to a 3/4 bed house as Tate requires much more space! (Oh and so does Saffron!) We did see one today that caught our eye - slightly art deco, requiring a lot of updating. Could be a project. Just what I need, another project! lol

SECURA named to Ward's Top 50 Performers
This recognition highlights our overall strength, which is something policyholders can rely on. They benefit from choosing an insurance company with a history of profitability and growth. It means they can feel confident we'll be there if they have a claim and trust that they'll be taken care of.
"We're a mutual company and that means we put the best interests of our policyholders at the heart of all we do," said Dave Gross, SECURA President and CEO. "This acknowledgment speaks to the power of that philosophy."
Annually, Ward analyzes more than 3,000 property-casualty insurance companies in the United States and identifies top performers. Each Ward's 50 company has achieved superior performance over the five years analyzed.

Sensor integration for implementation of obstacle avoidance in an autonomous helicopter system
MetadataShow full item record
This thesis describes the development of the Texas A&M University Autonomous Helicopter System and the integration of obstacle avoidance capabilities into that system. The helicopter system, composed of a Bergen Observer helicopter and a Rotomotion Autonomous Flight Control System (AFCS), was developed as a platform to support the development of the obstacle avoidance system through integration of sensors and onboard processing capabilities. The system has proven in various flight tests that it has the capability to autonomously hover and fly to user defined GPS waypoints. The obstacle avoidance algorithm has been proven in simulations involving an interface with the Rotomotion AFCS and the flight simulation software they created to facilitate the development of that system. The helicopter has also demonstrated appropriate responses to sensor input commensurate with the obstacle avoidance algorithm. Full avoidance tests were unable to be performed due to hardware malfunctions inherent in the obstacle avoidance sensors.

Book buying day
Today is Queens Day, our national holiday, celebrated on the birthday of late Queen Juliana.
Tonight is Queens Eve, the party preceding the holiday. Since almost everybody has the day off tomorrow, most people start celebrating now.
Tonight was whiskey tasting with friends. I did not participate; I am a whiskey layman, and I felt it would not be right to taste expensive drinks I would never pay for. The man appreciated that, and I appreciated that he appreciated that.
Still, earlier there was excellent Chinese food (Haarlem, Botermarkt, reminiscent of the Indonesian food of Don Julio's in Amsterdam, but much, much spicier), and later there were the new Hertog Jan beers.
For me, this morning will start book buying day.
Queens Day has many facets. One of them is the 'Free Market'. Although there is no law regulating it (as far as I know), it is common knowledge that everybody is allowed to start a flee market in the streets. And people do! The streets will be lined with junk like you wouldn't believe.
When I was around ten years old, I wanted to participate in this orgy of selling, and some of the hapless victims of my desire were books.
I have spent around 20 years buying them back. I am not sure if I have got them all, but I have got the important ones. If there's one thing I have learned, it's that I don't like to throw stuff out. If there's another thing I have learned, it's that I absolute hate to part with my books. Nowadays, I even keep the lousy ones, just on the off-chance that one of them contained something worth remembering.
Today will be fun.

It brings me such joy to be able to bring you the Pose Fair news from one of SL's top pose and photographer's props creator - namely Chandra Meehan, and (*chanimations. I have loved her stuff for ages and even won several photo contests with them so naturally I was very curious to see what she has come up with the fair. I was not dissapointed. Chandra has created to awsome new multi functional props - "Exorcism" and "Source of Life", two full scene builds with many many functions, from throwing spells to binding your victims and releasing soap bubbles and fire (!!) Of course these will enable you to shoot some truly magican photos, but kept up in a sim the props can also very well functrion as a great RP set for you and your friends.
OK, "Exorcism" first. This set is structured in multiple layers, it can be used as a one-person-pose, couple pose set or if you have more magic followers at hand - let them join the outer circle of another 10 poses that surrounds the alter in a summoning. The rituals you can playe with these doesnt dare mentioning lol but your mind is the only limit.
As you can see I took the opportunity and chained my possessed friend lol and bound an additional sinner at the side of the altar while I wrestled with the nassy demons.
Then theres the lovely "Source of Life" set - a spring celebration.
Sourceress "-Source of Life" - is Chandra Meehan's and (*chanimations release to celebrate the awakening of nature after the long winter. The set contains the following photography props and poses with the following properties:
• (*magicWand_kneel,
• (*magicWand_wander,
• (*magicWand_cast,
• (*magicWand_summon,
• (*magicWand_connect,
• (*magicWand_raise
All POSES are static and come with copy rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.
The magic pentagram is surrounded by menu-driven energy swirls, glowing grass patches and sculpted daisies and snails. Theres lovely soap bubble poofers, magic wands and a hide/show option for the ground. Springtime is here - even my hair caught fire LOL

Immigrant Rights Education & Engagement
The San Francisco Immigrant Legal and Education Network
Our work for environmental and economic justice in immigrant communities is based in the belief that immigrants have the right to live without fear. The immigrant families we work with struggle to access resources and services due to cultural and linguistic barriers. PODER offers "Know Your Rights" workshops on a variety of immigration topics so that our communities can better advocate for themselves and defend their rights.
We are one of thirteen organizations belonging to the San Francisco Immigrant Legal and Education Network, which provides community education and legal assistance to immigrants from Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. In addition to education and information, the Network provides immigration services for low-income San Francisco residents including:
- Family petitions
- Green card renewal
- Naturalization
- Violence against Women Act (VAWA) petitions
- Removal proceedings

Our first (and maybe ever) late-harvest wine from our estate, Charles Vineyard! Due to the warm vintage, we were able to hang a small block of Semillon until it was perfect for an amazing dessert wine -- rare in our climate.
Modeled off the wines of Sauturnes, this wine was picked at 28 degrees Brix, with 20% botrytis (noble rot). It has just the right amount of sweetness to remain fresh and vibrant on the palate, and explodes with apricot and honey notes. We're finding this the perfect accompaniment to dessert, pâté, or a cheese course.


text: LINCOLN Barbara Rainville, a lifelong resident of the Lincoln, has announced her bid for the Vermont State House district that includes Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton and Starksboro. This will be the Republicans second attempt to win the seat in a district heavily dominated by Democrats. She ran in 2006 falling short of the two incumbents. Rainville, holds a B.S. degree in elementary education and history from Russell Sage College, and a M.S. degree in urban and environmental studies from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She has been a part of a family business, Maple Landmark, since 1994 where she is working as its marketing manager. Rainville has served, and continues to serve, on several local, organizational boards of directors including the Addison County Sugarmakers Association, where she is currently secretary/treasurer, and the St. Ambrose Roman Catholic Church Finance Committee. Rainville serves at the auditor for the Town of Lincoln as well as the chairwoman on the Lincoln Zoning Board of Adjustment. She also serves on the Vermont Attractions and the Vermont State Chamber of Commerce boards. Rainvilles plans to campaign on the issue of long-term affordability. We have some hard issues, like our decaying infrastructure, high energy costs, and education finance, that need to be addressed long term, she said. Vermonters are in a tough position. We cant afford to keep going on the path that we are on.

I have the good fortune of living less than a mile from an end mill manufacturing company, so on the way home from work a while ago I stopped in and asked if they had any broken end mills. They looked at me a little strangely, but pulled out 3 or 4 broken carbide end mills and gave them to me for free. So I turned a few handles for card scraper burnishers. I gave one to my brother, kept on for myself, and have the third one up for grabs here. It will be free of charge, just pay shipping. However, I want this to go to someone who does not have one but that does have scrapers. The first time I used a carbide burnisher over an old HSS shank it was surprising the difference. So anyway, PM if you want it. Here is what it looks like (1/4" shank, walnut handle, copper ferrule)

The next day I went and got a Duncan Hines packet mix. I patiently waited the 30 mins they took to bake. I was devastated with the result. They tasted like a weird plastic flavoured cake. I had to throw out the whole batch. I did extensive research on which is the best brownie mix so as not to the make the same mistake.. Yes I could make them from scratch but that would take up more precious time. The reviews were actually quite extensive, descriptive and funny. Betty Crocker came up trumps, so today I went out and bought a couple varieties of Betty's brownies. This fail was completely my fault. Ten minutes into the baking process I saw the sachet of Hershey syrup I was meant to add to the mixture... They were cakey. UGH! I was on the verge of punching a whole in the wall.
Never one to give up on my dreams, I made the other box of Betty's brownies the "Supreme Ultimate Fudge. I wish this story had a happy ending, but I never want to make brownies or associate with anyone eating a brownie ever again. I'm so disheartened and angry about all this. Yes I should have just found a bakery or made them from scratch but it's too late for "should haves".
This is probably a blessing in disguise. I don't want to gain too much weight this pregnancy. I thought I was doing really well last time but after I had Boston I realised that in fact I hadn't done so well. My belly was soo big that it made my bum look really small... but then once he was out my butt was far larger than I had anticipated. It was a perspective illusion! Anyway I've wasted soo many calories testing these brownies.. It will take me a while to get back on track.

Q: What is the daily schedule for students?
- A: Regular school hours are from 8:45am – 3:35pm daily except on Wednesdays when dismissal is 1:15pm for teacher professional development and collaborative planning. Recess comes before lunch and is 30 minutes of directed play. Every morning begins with "morning meeting" — a time to set out the day and share experiences. Every afternoon ends with "closing meeting" to review, share, and set expectations for the next day.
Q: Do you offer before and after care?
- A: We partner with Smart Steps to provide before and after care. Before care begins at 7:00am and after care runs until 6:30pm.
Q: What is a charter school?
- A: Charter schools are public schools that students can choose to attend, regardless of where they live in the city. Each school has a charter, or performance contract, detailing its program, goals and methods of assessment. For example, charter schools may follow a particular approach to instruction, focus on an instructional theme or serve particular populations. Charter schools have increased autonomy in decision making in many areas. And, in return, they are accountable to several groups for both academic results and financial and management practices: the authorizer that grants the charter, the parents who choose to send their children to the school and the public that funds them. Charter schools are also governed by Maryland Charter Law. Charter schools are open to all students, with no admission testing or screening — but when more students would like to attend the school than the school has room to serve, a charter school holds an admission lottery.
Q: What is your philosophy regarding homework?
- A: Based on current educational research, we recommend parents read with their child for 20 minutes each night for homework. Experts tell us that very young children benefit tremendously from reading and spending time with their parents. Parents conversing with young children has been shown to have a strong correlation with future academic success! Often times schools assign hand-outs and "busy work" for young children. Because this is not meaningful work for young children it can lead to: (a) nightly fights over homework, (b) inconsistent completion of homework, or (c) children who grow up to hate school.
Q: How does your school deal with behavior management?
- A: We use the Responsive Classroom behavior management philosophy. We believe all students should be treated with respect and guided by calm adults toward intrinsic motivation for appropriate school behaviors. Additional detail can be found here.
Q: What is "Reggio Emilia" and how does it guide your school?
- A: Reggio Emilia is a philosophy developed in post-WW II Italy. It guides our student-teacher relationship dynamic, physical school environment, and curriculum structure. As a "Reggio school" we keep classroom lighting soft, colors muted, and bits of nature in the rooms. Additional detail can be found here.
Q: Do you offer foreign language instruction?
- A: We do not presently offer foreign languages.
Q: How can families get involved in the school community?
- A: We have a host of activities and committees for our families. Additional detail can be found here.

I know they've been around for AGES, but a I have noticed that everyone and their mother are adding them to their nurseries. I absolutely LOVE it! Here are a few beautiful spaces that have followed the trend and "NAILED IT"!
Shae McGee Design via DecorPad
Meredith Heron Design via DecorPad
Dylan's Nursery: Jennifer Jones of Niche Interiors via: apartment therapy
Knox's Nursery: Honey and Fitz
Harlan's Nursery: apartment therapy
Madelyn's Nursery: Project Nursery

Reed's Nursery: Honey and Fitz
I don't think this needs any explanation. These designers found ways to make poufs work in every color of the rainbow. The pouf is a great way to add a punch of personality to any room, but is particularly perfect for plopping (say that 5 times fast!) your feet on for those midnight feedings. My only question is, why didn't I have one in mine?

The Lies of Locke Lamora Read Along Week 5
10 comments:
I will confess that I did suffer a brief 'what' moment when Locke punched Dona in the face but I moved on pretty quickly. I mean, she did stab him in the neck and she was suffering with a serious case of Locke-style over confident smugness so she sort of had it coming. Plus, you can't always make a graceful or cunning escape - sometimes you just have to take the path of least resistance. I think where the Grey King was concerned I was expecting some sort of massive take over of not only the underground but also the nobility - didn't really see the whole revenge thing at all.ReplyDelete
Lynn :D
- AnonymousApril 7, 2012 at 2:09 PM
The punishing the nobility with Wraithstonw plot confused me a little to be honest. Killing Barsavi and his family made sense- vengeance pure and simple. Knocking off gang leaders- planning a coup, those were actually great tactics... But once he had Camorr in the palm of his hands and his revenge on Barsavi was complete... Why go a step farther into borderline genocide? I watched Joss Whedon's Serenity again recently, and with a massive chunk of the population pacified into oblivion, it'd just turn Camorr into Miranda... Man, the Grey King was fucked up!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh man, when he brought the wraithstone into it I was like, oh yeah, that had to come back into the picture. And then, NOOOOOO!!!Delete
But then, wouldn't that be an opportunity for some good fan fiction? Locke goes after GK instead and Camorr is left with a zombie-nobility class. Ha!
You are so right about # 6: it seemed obvious to me that Locke would save the people and then try to kill the Gray King. It was just another example of how badly the Falconer misjudged Locke: oh dear, what a shame! :DReplyDelete
Lol, loved your Chris Tucker line! and the Berangias sisters? Those bitches got exactly what they deserved!!!ReplyDelete
the reveal at the end, the Grey King's identity, his plot against the nobility, I do wish a lot of that had shown up earlier, as often felt a bit rushed to me.
Everyone knows I don't mind profanity. And I swear this book had a lot more bad words the first time I read it. . .
Sneaky wench with those knitting needles! Locke can still be surprised!ReplyDelete
I also love the element the Eldren brings to the story - the ancient and little understood, yet still used everyday.Replies
So, I think that one of the worst parts about those knitting needles was the fact that they were a reminder that Locke could still be surprised. I wanted him to bounce back with a vengeance after GK killed his friends but then he was surprised again by the damn spider. Can't everyone just leave Locke alone?!Delete

Since record of formula change of state projects are targeted at gratifying the wants and requirements of customers, it becomes requisite to donate due thought to the Voice of the Customer (VOC) in command to assure the happening of course of action advance projects. Explained downwards are quite a few of the techniques that can be utilized for ensuring the occurrence of Six Sigma system restoration projects.
Stressing Quantifiable Measures
The leading rational motive as to why some activity upturn projects are inept to mouth the coveted results is that they withdrawal the use able to be gauged measures that are obligatory for converting communicative VOC facts into measurable jargon. When computable measures are not utilized, it becomes quite knotty to add up to a generalized opinion astir a particular end user input signal or feedback, which in spin leads to puzzlement and conflicting perceptions amongst the enforcement troop members.Post ads:

This finally begins to feeling the profitability of enforcement team members - something that can smoothly lead to work delays and even through redundancies. There are without doubt other reasons that front to extend beyond failures, but businesses entail to centering their pains as a rule on removing the anomaly of reckonable measures because that is the ground that contributes the furthermost to the occurrence or dud of a method amendment project.
Other Factors To Consider: Determining Project Completion Time
Yet another foundation that is frequently control answerable for the disappointment of function augmentation projects is the noesis of the carrying out unit to set a deadline for the project's end result. Projects that do not have a point are no cognitive state initiated beside large joie de vivre and enthusiasm, but such projects regularly misplace vapor midway because carrying out social unit members insight it tall to appraise whether the project is truly count effectiveness or not. Until and unless projects are initiated next to a predetermined deadline, it is moderately problem to judge its concrete powerfulness because costs incurred on the jut out over have a straight stance on its general value. Since it is extremely challenging to ascertain the disbursement of a project that does not have a rigid deadline, assessing its general effectivity is a big ill.Post ads:

Now, it is rather uncomplicated to profess that a undertaking has been a happening if it starts to talk the desirable results, but businesses stipulation to elaboration vindicatory a bit much longanimity since uncorking the flask because a hang over can be termed as 'successful' with the sole purpose when it delivers consistent grades. This is why, or else of celebrating the first success, businesses status to focus more than on deploying govern systems that can measurement the worth of the overhang ended a fixed time period. Control systems are mandatory because they relieve in archaean unearthing of faults, production it budding for the part section to filch instantaneous exploit. It is solitary after a procedure amendment labor passes the dominate scheme checks, can it be genuinely named 'successful'.

H-S-N Complex 120 caps

H-S-N Complex 120 caps| Designs for Health
Nutritional support for hair, skin, and nails.*
H-S-N Complex™ is a comprehensive formula which combines a wide array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and botanicals in order to provide building blocks necessary for healthy hair, skin and nails, all being protective components of the body.*
S-N Complex™ helps support keratin and collagen*
Keratin is a fibrous protein found in hair, skin and nails which is rich in sulfur-containing amino acids, especially cysteine. Keratin is a filament-forming protein, whose molecules are entwined around each other in long filaments that are cross-linked by bonds between the sulfur atoms. This twining and cross-linking is dependent on various nutrients and gives the keratin structures their strength.*
Collagen is another fibrous protein and a primary constituent of the body's connective tissue. It is a main component of hair, skin and nails and is vital for their health, such as in supporting skin elasticity. Many of the nutrients found in H-S-N Complex™ help to support collagen, such as MSM and N-acetyl-cysteine (both provide sulfur) and bamboo (provides silica). Sulfur and silica are necessary for the formation of collagen. Other collagen-supportive nutrients include vitamin C, B vitamins, copper, the amino acids glycine and proline, and manganese (necessary to activate the enzyme prolidase, which provides the amino acid proline).*
Additional Highlights*
The olive fruit extract is from Hytolive®, standardized to contain 10% hydroxytyrosol, one of the olive fruit's most important polyphenols. Hydroxytyrosol's strong antioxidant abilities appear to help support skin health by protecting keratinocytes against the damaging effect of UV-derived oxidative stress.*
H-S-N Complex™ also features green tea extract (decaffeinated), grape seed extract standardized to contain 95% proanthocyanidins, along with generous amounts of the fat soluble vitamins A and D. The minerals contained in this product are Albion® chelated minerals for superior absorption.*
H-S-N Complex™ may:
- Support skin elasticity*
- Help strengthen hair, skin and nails*
- Help with brittle nails*
- Support healthy keratin*
- Offer UV protection*
- Provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support for hair, skin and nails*

There are some people who would agree that there is nothing more satisfying than walking away from a hard workout like that in the summer heat. Sure you may look like you just ran through the rain and then rolled on the ground (just me?? Those who know me know I'm always filthy after every workout) but who cares. You are the walking mark of satisfaction and of a job well done. Doesn't matter if you're in those short shorts, feel like your shirt is choking you so it immediately comes off, or if you cover up so much to the point where you look like you're about to run through the arctic – you are there and see immediate results of even the slightest effort put into whatever it is you have to do. Maybe I'm crazy but I enjoy that. . . .
It takes your body approximately two weeks to adjust to a climate change. Granted that we are well into summer now, here are some quick tips to help make it through the most brutal summer workouts . . .and man have they been brutal lately!
1. Drink Plenty of Water – There are so many important and essential functions of water for our bodies, one of which includes regulating body temperature. If you are not a water drinker, try to make sure you take in those few extra glasses a day to help keep cool. I promise your body will thank you for it.
2. Bring a Towel – Nothing is worse than mid workout and your eyes begin to burn from the sweat dripping straight down into your eyes. Don't be afraid to rock out those head bands or even have a towel handy if you sweat like you are in the Sahara Desert.
3. Extra Clothing – Ever finish a workout and have to run to the store on your way home? What happens? You end up freezing your butt off in the store! It's amazing what a difference something as simple as a dry shirt can do after a workout to have you feeling refreshed.
4. Know Your Limits – Number 1 priority is your health, that's why you Crossfit in the first place. If for any reason you ever feel like the heat it too much and you need a water break, or need to put a cold towel on the back of your neck, then do it. The heat of summer can be oppressive sometimes and there's no point in giving yourself heat exhaustion. Be smart and know your body's limits in the heat.

A.J. McMichael and others / National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility
National adaptation research plan (human health): consultation draft
Climate change poses direct and indirect risks to health. Direct risks include physical injury because of more frequent events such as bushfire, and increased heat-related death and disease. Indirect risks include more infectious diseases transmitted through vectors such as insects, and mental and physical health difficulties that typically follow social and economic disruption and dislocation such as drought. The diversity of health risks from climate change presents a direct challenge to the health sector, including acute health-care and the public health system. Many health-protecting activities will need to be undertaken by other sectors of government and industry, as well as by individuals and communities. This Plan will guide researchers generating the information Australia needs to develop an effective and equitable portfolio of adaptive strategies.

Patient discussion about hypoglycemic
!!! The questions and answers on this page are written by patients and are not reviewed by health professionals.
Q. What is hypoglycemia?
What exactly is hypoglycemia and why is it so dangerous?
|Hypoglycemia is the sudden decrease in blood glucose levels, to an amount where the body experiences signs and symptoms such as confusion, fast heart rate, altered consciousness state and even fainting. This is usually a result of medications taken for diabetes. In most cases, hypoglycemia is treated with sugary drinks or food. In severe cases, an injection of glucagon (a hormone with the opposite effects of insulin) or an intravenous infusion of dextrose is used for treatment, but usually only if the person is unconscious.
|Hypoglycemia, or abnormally low blood glucose, usually below 45 mg/dl, and is an acute complication of several diabetes treatments. It is rare otherwise, either in diabetic or non-diabetic patients. The patient may become agitated, sweaty, and have many symptoms of sympathetic activation of the autonomic nervous system resulting in feelings akin to dread and immobilized panic. Consciousness can be altered or even lost in extreme cases, leading to coma, seizures, or even brain damage and death.
Q. I have Type II Diabetes, but have regular problems with low blood sugar levels. What should I do?
I am an over 60 female who has been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I was originally on Metformin, but my doctor discontinued it because I was having severe low blood sugar levels a lot (as low as 40). I have heard that putting me on insulin might help, but I don't see how since I have more low than high levels. Anyone have any suggestions or information about what I can do? (I do follow diabetic eating with proper food and frequent small meals, but that doesn't seem to help.)
|i'm not sure about this but maybe because of your sensitivity to Metformin they want to move to insulin shots because they want accuracy. but as all it sounds a bit strange, cause most of the times they save that as a last resort. there's probably something else that's missing here...you asked them why insulin shots?
