FringeNYC Renews Hope for Tri-State Lesbians: Dating Pool Expanded
Hello Queer Sisters. This is Doris Anderson, Executive Director of the Self-Identified Lesbian Community Center. The New York International Fringe Festival opens this Friday, August 10th and runs through Sunday, August 26th.
The Fringe will bring with it lots a woman from out-of-town, both regionally and from overseas! This is the perfect opportunity to meet women here on a staycation for dating and perhaps more importantly, for casual sex. As we all know, the lesbian community can be a tough place to find opportunities to engage in sex without a mandatory commitment*—so this is the perfect time to take advantage of a carefree romp as lots of these gals will be leaving at the end of August!
Here are a few hot tips for you to meet women while you are “Fringing” as they say:
- Actually go to see shows! You can get off to a great start by attending my event “IN HEAT: Is She Hot Under Her Collar of Under Her Skirt?” premiering this Friday, August 10 at 5:00 p.m. at the Gene Frankel Theatre. This is only the first of my five shows. FringeNYC thinks I will be doing a spoken word interpretation of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” Everyone is going to be in for a big surprise when they find out this is really a dazzling show for lesbians and our allies!
- Take your cell phone out of your face! While you are in line waiting for tickets or standing around in the lobby, nothing cock blocks an introduction more than pretending you have an important text message sucking all your attention. This is a good chance to practice being available, if not for a relationship, at least for meeting new lezzies.
- Carry your business card. Nothing is slicker while you are “networking” than to slip your contact info into another sister's hand. Then, if you never hear from that person again, you don’t have to be totally embarrassed because you can tell yourself it was “for business.” (If you don’t have a business card, please contact me for how you can pull this together fast.)
- Are you a gal on a budget? With tickets costing between $15-18 for FringeNYC, how can you possibly see more than one show? Well – there are tons of folks running around with “Participant Badges” that get them into shows for $5. (These are people who have worked on individual shows and they extend far, far beyond the cast.) Buddy-up with one of these badge holders and together you can walk up to the theatre before each show and purchase one $18 ticket and another for $5 – total: $23. Split this and you each get in for $11.50!
- As always, there are a lot of online and in-print press outlets that claim to be inclusive of covering LGBT events. But, what a surprise, it happened again. Gay male shows have almost exclusively received all the attention from certain “Gay” press, which I won’t name. But, I am going to take this opportunity to highlight the lesbian shows in the Fringe that pass The Anderson Test. (They contain characters and/or content about Queer women and are written, at the very least, by a woman— whether queer or not.)
Please support these shows:
IN HEAT: Is She Hot Under Her Collar or Under Her Skirt?
See you at FringeNYC!
Sexy Hugs,
Doris
* I am all for commitment, but if you are not finding people who aren’t relationship -ready, you can at least be have a roll in the sack! Why should gay men have all the fun?

yay choice!
see, cuz choice is something for ALL THE HUMANS!

Venkys is the prominent supplier of chicken products to various International Quick Service Restaurant chains in India like Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Domino’s, TGI Friday and Vista Foods.
Right from its inception Venky’s has been engaged in research and development on a continuous basis to develop various innovative products to meet the latest trends and tastes of its clientele, resulting in the development of a whole range of Ready-to-eat, Freezer-to Fryer and Easy-to-Cook products based on three types of cooking, i.e. Flash fried, kettle cooked and oven cooked products.

At Venkys, we understand the language of taste well, and, have honed it to perfection, to provide the best-tasting and hygienic products to our prestigious customers.
In the rapidly growing urban areas, where the life styles are fast, and people are “always-on-the move” Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) are becoming increasingly popular – especially among the Generation Next. Within this group of customers, a niche market is emerging fast among health-conscious consumers, for less-fatty products.
To cater to this fast-growing segment of consumers, Venkys has entered the hospitality industry with the launch of “VENKYS XPRS” to serve their customers with a range of healthy, hygienically cooked, and yet reasonably priced chicken delicacies.
The first VENKY’S XPRS restaurant was opened on Jan 2010 at F. C. ROAD, PUNE. Products served here are, mainly, Roast & Grilled with minimum use of oil which helps to keep healthy & fit. The products are marinated with top-quality Indian spices to give an authentic Indian aroma and taste. The menu is designed in such a way that everyone can enjoy these mouthwatering delicacies. The interior of restaurant also reflects the new generations’ life style. Hygiene and cleanliness are the hallmark of VENKYS XPRS restaurants.
All in all, VENKY’S XPRS experience gives you the good and lasting impression Encouraged by the tremendous response from our customers; Venkys started two more restaurants, one at EAST STREET, CAMP and the other at KOREGAON PARK, PUNE. One more restaurant will soon be opened at Andheri near Lokhandwala Complex, Mumbai.
Venkys is led by a team of highly professional managers, and motivated staff driven by enthusiasm, pride and skills to benefit from the opportunities that lie ahead. We are poised to grow, and expand the VENKYS XPRS network and open our restaurants all over India and overseas, in the near future.

National
League for Nursing, Inc.
It is not too soon to set goals for the next educational
and professional steps in your career path. The future
job market for nurses and nurse educators is very bright!
So when you have completed your undergraduate program
in nursing, we encourage you to consider one of the
most in-demand and rewarding areas of nursing specialty
practice today — the professional role of nurse
educator. The National League for Nursing,
a member professional organization representing nursing
faculty and leaders in nursing education, continues
efforts to promote diversity in nursing education through
active partnership in important programs like Ventures
Scholars.
A career in nursing education provides you with the
opportunity to teach in programs that prepare practical
nurses (PN) and registered nurses (RN) for entry into
practice positions. In addition, nursing faculty teach
in graduate programs which prepare advanced practice
nurses, nurse educators, and nursing administrators.
They also teach in doctoral programs which prepare nurse
researchers and leaders in complex healthcare and educational
organizations.
Faculty who teach in practical nurse, associate degree
and baccalaureate programs are required to hold a master’s
degree in nursing. Most baccalaureate and higher degree
programs require a minimum of a master’s degree
and prefer the doctorate for full-time teaching positions.
Many nurse educators have a clinical specialty background
which is often blended with coursework in education.
Individuals may complete a post-master’s certificate
in education to complement their clinical expertise
if they choose to enter a faculty role.
Nurse educators have the
unique opportunity to shape the next generation of nurses
as they share their expertise in educational settings.
Nursing faculty may also engage in scholarly inquiry
that will further illuminate the nature of teaching
and learning, demonstrate the value of increased diversity
in nursing and nursing education, and ultimately shape
future educational processes and outcomes.
The
Promise of Nursing Regional Faculty Scholarship Program
is designed to address the nursing shortage by providing
scholarships to help expand the number of faculty prepared
to teach in pre-licensure nursing programs.
The
National League for Nursing (NLN) Career Center
provides more information about careers in nursing education,
an area where current nurse educator jobs are posted,
and links to other useful websites.
“Great
Moments in Teaching” shares stories
from nurse educators. Nursing faculty continually articulate
that the most positive aspect of their role is the interaction
with students.

Quest
Scholars Program
QuestBridge promotes meritocracy in America by uncovering
exceptionally talented, self-motivated students from
low-income and/or minority communities and linking them
with the nation's premier colleges, prep-schools, graduate
programs, professional schools, enrichment programs,
scholarships and internships.
Currently, only 3% of students attending America's
best 146 colleges are drawn from the lowest fourth economically-only
9% from the lower half. Over 50% of low-income students
who score in the highest percentiles on standardized
tests never apply to or attend 4-year colleges. America's
educational institutions are missing out on scores of
talent needlessly.
QuestBridge aims to change that.
The QuestBridge College Match is a program that finds
exceptionally motivated and academically talented, low-income
students and "matches" them with full four-year
scholarships to some of the nation's best colleges and
universities.
In 2004, QuestBridge matched 45 students with full,
four-year scholarships to Amherst College, Bowdoin College,
Grinnell College, Rice University, Santa Clara University,
Trinity College, Wheaton College and Williams College.
We also had many students admitted to these schools
who received really strong financial aid packages, and
in some instances, also received school-specific scholarships
such as the Tyng Scholarship at Williams and the Chamberlain
Scholarship at Bowdoin.

"We developed the Object Store in direct response to our customers who were looking for a cloud storage solution to supplement their CDN - a solution that is easy to manage, and is scalable and inexpensive. Our customers need a platform that can grow with their business needs and the Object Store offers them just that. The time has come to think beyond expensive and proprietary storage solutions in favor of cloud storage." MORE >
The OneVantage™ Object Store provides a highly scalable and reliable permanent object vault for publishing and storing digital content which can be served by the CDN. It is a cloud-based replicated HTTP object store used to persistently store media content for content origination within a CDN. It supports file ingest from content management systems via multiple ingest protocols and originates that content for both linear and VOD applications. In essence, Object Store provides the root of the CDN hierarchy and serves cache misses from multiple CDN tiers downstream. Based on standard HTTP delivery, it offers a scale-out architecture for redundancy and storage expansion in which several nodes are interconnected to form a common storage cluster with a single virtualized namespace. Its key features and benefits include:
Scale-out Storage
Object Store can scale to billions of files and petabytes of storage. It runs on clustered commodity servers incorporating the latest hardware technology. Disks and nodes can be easily added to accommodate growing storage needs without service disruption. With the addition of each node comes additional I/O bandwidth and transaction processing capacity so growth is linear. As the storage grows so does ingest and delivery capacity.
Resiliency and High-Performance
Object Store is designed to provide multiple levels of redundancy, employing both mirroring and automatic failover to achieve high levels of fault tolerance. At the same time, Object Store leverages the same scalability techniques employed by HyperCache to achieve high performance in delivering that content to end-users. This provides a unique combination of resiliency and performance.
Full CDN Integration
Independent content providers can upload and manage their own content through separate accounts. Object Store supports a simple back-end interface that is easy to integrate into a content provider's content management workflow. At the same time, the Object Store front-end interface is implemented by the same HyperCache technology deployed throughout the rest of caching hierarchy. This results in a highly optimized interaction between Object Store and the rest of the CDN.
Immense Capacity
Scales to petabytes of storage
Linear Scale-Out
I/O bandwidth and request processing scale with storage
Extremely Durable
Fully redundant and highly available
Non-stop Operation
In-service capacity expansion and in-service software upgrades
High Performance
Highly-scalable read-write access and no central database
Flexible Content Management
Content can be managed through traditional file transfer APIs or popular REST-based cloud storage APIs
Separate Authenticated Accounts
Content providers can independently manage their content
Live and On-Demand Applications
Supports redundant live encoder feeds and HTTP adaptive streaming
Full CDN Integration
Content providers can seamlessly upload, manage, publish, and monitor

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific …
"I remember this is the very first bottle of shampoo I purchased, on my own, with my babysitting money. I just remember when the wind catches your hair, it just was all you could smell and you knew your hair was extra clean." - Linda aguirre, San Francisco, CA
"I used this when it first came out & loved the smell! It's wonderful...Luscious & sexy...so glad I found it again!" - Joanne, Horsham, PA
"Dear Mr. Orton, I was so happy to see Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific back again. My four daughters and I used it. I have looked and looked for it over the years. I used to show pedigreed cats and always washed them with it before a show. All of the judges commented on how great they smelled. Thanks for finding it." - Cathy, Columbus,
"I began using Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific in High School. I’m not sure, but I think it's what really caused my husband to fall in love with me. Ha! I've been looking for this shampoo for years. We will be married 30 years soon, so I thought it would be a fun surprise for our anniversary. Thank You." - Margaret Seybert, Moorestown, NJ
"I cannot believe I found someone that has this shampoo! I have been looking for it quite some time. Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific! has the best smell ever. I had lots of compliments. I can't wait to order this shampoo and have my daughter and granddaughter experience the wonderful smell!" - Nancy Lumsden, Oxford, AL
"I first used this shampoo in 1975-'76. I had moved to Hawaii. You would think that with all the lovely tropical flowers there, the scent of my hair would have been the last thing anyone would have noticed. But there was not a single person I met who did not ask me what the lovely scent was that I was wearing in my hair! That was no fancy perfume scent at all, just my Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific! shampoo. After it was discontinued, I tried many imitations, including shampoo, conditioners, perfumes, even air fresheners, in an attempt to re-create the fragrance in my hair. No luck! Until I rediscovered the original Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific! right here at The Vermont Country Store! How can I ever thank you?" - Teresa Windmiller, Grove City, OH
"When I was young my two sisters and I would walk up to Coffman Drug Store (little drug store in our neighborhood for years) and they had a wall of penny candy and just about everything a kid could want. I bought some "Gee your hair smells terrific" and was hooked. I ran out one day and we all walked to Coffman's to get some more. I couldn't find it on the shelves and went to ask the clerk and for some reason, I got completely tongue-tied and couldn't get it out correctly. The clerk kept saying "What?" So my two sisters finally shouted together - "She is trying to say - GEE YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC!" We still laugh about that. We also wondered not long ago why they took it off the shelves." - Cheryl Shigaki, Woodbride, VA
"It is said that the sense of smell is the sense most closely related to memory. Being able to smell GYHST shampoo after more than 30 years brought back a flood of memories of summers at the lake with my best friend. Thank you for making it available again!" - Joe S, Tampa, FL
"I'm so excited to find this shampoo again. I always used this when I was in high school and people would really walk up and tell me how good my hair smelled. I can't wait to try it again to see if it still has the same effect. I'm so happy to have finally found this shampoo once again." - Linda, Richmond,
"Such a wonderful thing to be able to experience something I so much enjoyed in "my younger days." The smell brings back so many wonderful memories. And to the Vermont Country Store, Thank You. You Now Have A Loyal Customer. I will be doing a lot more business with you !" - Julie, Ilion,
"Hi I just purchased 4 bottles of the Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific! conditioner. I was disappointed to find that the bottles are small and that the smell was not the same. So I was ready to return it. My curiosity got to me so I used it this morning. Surprisingly, I was so happy to find that the conditioner does smell the same after you use it! I plan to now keep my 4 bottles and to share this story for you all who think that this is overpriced for a small bottle! It is a great buy to have this original scent back again. Remember, the original formula was discontinued. Thank You Vermont Country Store for remaking this fabulous product into a safe formula that works and smells (on your hair) the same as it did when I was in junior high! Who needs perfume when your hair smells so great? Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - Mary B., Port Huron, MI
"I love GYHST because in the summer when you perspire, all you smell is the fresh, clean scent of the product, and not the sweat! I've been waiting years to see this product again! Thank you, thank you!" - Puela, Los Angeles, CA
"Used this shampoo and conditioner in the '70s. My boyfriends would always say, "Damn, Your hair smells good!" I liked hearing that." - Sherri B, Pottstown, PA
"I was in 8th grade or there abouts, and we all had the Dorothy Hamill hair cut and this is the shampoo we all loved. We would say, ‘Gee, your hair smells terrific,' and laugh." - Vicki R Robinson, Snellville, GA
"I grew up on the beachy shores of Long Island. This scent takes me back to the 70's, beachy days, Noxzema, disco, ocean breezes and a carefree wonderful time. It's amazing how this one product can capture an entire moment in time!" - Kathy Baker, Carrollton, TX
"I have been looking for this shampoo forever. I used it when I was a teenager, and it rocks. Now I can get it from you-all. I will have to hide it from my daughter because it is a little high but so worth it for myself. It brings back the memories of yesteryear. Thanks!" - kim morsund, duncan, OK
"In the 1970s it was my favorite shampoo, and I am glad I found it again. I love the smell." - Christine Filuta, Troy, NY
"I must admit, I had to do a double take, as I was half asleep hearing this on the news this morning. Wow, am I excited to be able to order this wonderful, amazing Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific product again! What the heck happened to it? I am ordering it for my daughter for Christmas as a surprise and for myself to bring back such wonderful memories of the feeling of clean and smelling terrific, and the comments I received. This shampoo and the Flex products are just such a clean and inviting scent. Thanks, I can hardly wait to shampoo my hair, and I think my daughter will be one of the first here in Clarkston to have comments and heads turning to say, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!" as she has beautiful long hair and she shampoos every day. I would order more for all my friends and family; however, the economy, well, end of story. But everyone will soon be asking, "Where do I get that?" "You are kidding!" "Wow, how did you hear of that?" etc. So thank you so much, and now I will complete my order!" - Debbie Weiss, Clarkston, MI
"Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific -- the smell that I can remember smelled so good, sexy, fresh, and clean; the smell really does take me back to the days of my youth and my innocence in Detroit, Michigan. Those were the days!" - Karen Brock, Tazewell, TN
"I got this for my daughter for Christmas, and she screamed when she opened the box and then she cried like a baby. I cried, we were laughing and crying, she was so happy, she told all her friends on Facebook and they all were asking where I got it from and how I thought of that gift. She is 35 now, and I used to use it on her hair when she was six, until I could not find it anymore. This was the best gift, seeing my daughter laugh, cry, and look so surprised and happy!" - Deb Malone, Glendora, CA
"When I saw the story on The Today Show, I almost fell out of my chair with excitement. I called my mother with tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe after
"Back in the 8th grade a boy by the name of Kevin Brown would always sit behind me and sniff my hair. It's funny because he would say, "Gee, your hair smells terrific." And I would laugh and say, "That's the name of my shampoo." I'm so glad I found the shampoo again. Thanks." - Lynn Woodruff, Hackneyville, AL
"My shower has become a time machine to the fountain of youth." - Mellisa Adler, Davenport, IA
"Seeing how I was only 2 years old in 1979, I'm sad to say I had to miss the 70's. But I kept hearing about this product and seeing vintage ads and it made me curious. I shave my head, so keeping my scalp clean is essential. This only took about a nickel size drop to get my head clean and everyone else is right, the smell is out of this world. I'm very happy to say that I have tried this now and love it and will gladly buy it again!" - Clint, Muskegon, MI
"This is a memory that I have from many years ago. In 1979 I underwent emergency brain surgery for a ruptured blood clot in my brain. I had used Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific that morning. The doctors that performed my surgery shaved my head completely, and at 19 that was a really big deal. I kept the bucket of "my hair" for many years. Every time that I would lift the lid all you could smell was how good my hair smelled. It really did smell TERRIFIC. That has been almost 31 years ago and I would love to find that on shelves today. People just don't know what they are missing today by not having that truly good smell after you have washed your hair. I was 19 then and I am soon to be 50 this year. I want to have that terrific-smelling hair again!" - Donna Thornes, Salisbury, MD
"I used Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific in high school and I loved it. I have been looking for the product ever since. I was so happy when I found it at the Vermont Country Store. This product brings back a time in my life when my hair smelled great and life was a lot easier. I cannot wait to walk into a store again and hear someone say, GEE, YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC. Thank you for carrying this product. I am so happy i finally found it again after all these years." - Sheri, Deerfield beach, FL
"My mom used to use this shampoo and conditioner when I was a kid. I remember the smell of her hair and was so overjoyed when I found this product. I placed an order and received it in mail, I'll be ordering more for sure! THANK YOU SO MUCH for carrying this. The order was quick, efficient, and most of all professional! Thanks again, VCS!" - Raymond S, jamestown, NY
"I have been looking for this for years. Thanks for making it again. I LOVE THIS SHAMPOO. It makes me feel like a teenager again. Thanks so much." - Brenda Holt, muncy, PA
"I absolutely HAD to purchase this shampoo, having used it and loved it as a teenager in the simpler 1970s. It's truly terrific, and I'm overjoyed that my first purchase from VCS is such a memorable one. I used this shampoo for the first time in several decades and it was like being a teen again! Thanks much!" - Jan L., Mandeville, LA
"My friends and I would not go out until we all used this shampoo. It was the best-smelling shampoo ever. Nobody will ever beat this stuff. Excellent!" - Glenda Williams, Saint Marys, PA
"I, along with so many others, am THRILLED beyond belief to see my most favorite shampoo is available again! I was bummed for years when I found it had been discontinued--WHY, I wondered long, and longingly. I began my shampoo love affair as a freshman in high school, and actually, really, honestly DID TELL the girl who always sat in front of me for morning gathering in my dorm, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!" I DID! From the time she told me that was its name, I was hooked! And I thought FOR LIFE! THANK YOU for bringing that thought back to possible LIFE for me! ~ Can we buy a CASE??" - Anna Marie Holmes-Butterick, Bishop, CA
"We have very soft water, and I have trouble getting most shampoos to wash out of my hair. When I saw this shampoo, I remembered how fabulous my hair was in the '70s. It is exactly the same! My hair is magically young again! So clean and bouncy. Thanks." - katrina crawford, southport, NC
"I too have been searching for this shampoo and conditioner for 20 years plus. So I am happy to learn that VCS carries it! Thanks for the memories! I love the smell and I get compliments galore! Will buy again and again." - Theresa Valdespino, Bronx, NY
"I remember this shampoo from the '70s. I also buy the Body on Tap and LemonUp shampoos, also from the '70s. I have found that going back and forth between the three shampoos, they last for an extremely long time. I am about to place my order for all three shampoos again. I can't believe they are available again; never thought I would see them again! I am extremely fussy about my hair." - Karen Peyton, East Point, GA
"I used this shampoo as a teenager. Also the other three shampoos you offer, LemonUp, Body on Tap, and Herbal Essence [now Country Herbal]. These were my four favorite shampoos and I always got them every month when shopping for "my" supplies with my parents. It was so great to see them again, and of course I ordered all four. Just as I remember, too. I hide these for my personal use, as I have five daughters. Thank you so much for making them available again. They are a little high in price but something is only worth how bad you want it, so the price did not matter to me. I would have paid more." - Brenda Marchione, Claymont, DE
"For years I've wanted to know for sure just how terrific GYHST smelled. Well, I picked up a bottle in 2007 . . . and lo and behold, the bottle was all true! I'd use it whenever I felt I needed to smell terrific, or just for fun! Awesome product, available for a new generation of girls who want to smell terrific for their fellas!" - Sara, Greenfield, MA
"I was in shock when I saw Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific. I have been searching for it for years. It's something I will never forget from my high school days. Everyone used to ask what perfume I was wearing. I just loved it and never forgot it. Thanks for bringing it back." - jerri Holmes, Simi Valley, CA
"My daughter, who is 17, tried my Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific and said that it worked better for her dandruff than the dandruff shampoo!" - Heather Harvey, Fairbanks, AK
"I just ordered my GYHST shampoo and conditioner. I haven't had any since high school. I cant wait! My co-workers think I'm crazy . . . but wait 'til I walk in and they say "Wow, what's that great smell?" I will then flip my hair all around so they can say, "Gee, Terri, your hair smells terrific!" I'm so excited." - terri gomez, two harbors, MN
"I was curious if the description written when I first saw it was true or not, so I told myself I will order and try it. Indeed, it is very true -- my hair smelled terrific! My officemates asked me what shampoo I use because the smell is kind of unique, they said. I wrote to Vermont Country Store and told my story. Then I suggested that there should be a conditioner to go with it. And my wish came true! The conditioner came to life." - Linda aguirre, San Francisco, CA
"Love the product! It brings me back to a time when I was a teenager, with no cares or worries of the future, just about how nice it was to be young and alive!" - Mj Naumann, prospect Harbor, ME
"We are getting this for my mom for her birthday. She loves this shampoo, and it reminds her of her younger days. She recently heard that they were still selling this online, and it was the only thing she asked for for her birthday! Hope you keep selling it, I'm sure she'll want to keep buying it for years to come!" - Paige, rockford, IL
"Old memories of better times now gone." - Ylsa Bello, Miami, FL
"When I was a teenager, I loved the scent of this shampoo! One day when I went to the dentist, he remarked, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!" True story!" - Susan, Spring, TX
"Thanks so much for bringing this favorite back! I used this in high school and always enjoyed it." - Susan Edquist, Downey, CA
"When our daughter, now 36, was small, we used Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific on her hair, and after every shampoo, she would go to her dad for him to smell her hair and tell her, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!" It is a treasured memory in our family, especially for her dad. I think I'll buy some for his Father's Day surprise." - Lynda, Warm Springs, GA
"I am only 23 years old and can remember clear as day the smell of this shampoo. My mother bought a bottle when I was about seven or eight years old. She found it who knows where, at a old mom-and-pop store, and when I used it I fell in love. Today I am much older but still love that fragrance. I bought three bottles of the shampoo and conditioner. I am giving my mother a set for her birthday. She is going to flip!" - Rachael, Troutville, VA
"I have been looking for this shampoo for years. My friends and I would not go out anywhere until we all used Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific. I was heartbroken when I couldn't find it. Now I have, and I will be telling all my friends about my find. So glad to see it again. I am sure it will bring a lot of old memories back once I use it again. Good ole' memories." - Glenda Williams, Saint Marys, PA
"I just laughed out loud when I saw this product offered at The Vermont Country Store! My friends and I would love to act out the TV commercial with each other! We all used it on our feeble attempt at Farrah Fawcett hair, and LOVED the way it made our hair smell!! Thanks for the memories, VCS!! Think I might just splurge and buy some for a sweet trip down memory lane!"-Mary, Morton, IL
"I don't know why they stopped selling GYHST shampoo & conditioner. The shelves were always empty and the store couldn't keep it in stock, 1989 was the last time I was able to purchase any, until now. I bought enough to keep my hair happy for at least a year. love it, can't wait to get it, and I'm serioulsy thinking about not washing my hair 'til I get it...lol" - Theresa Glasgow, Clute, TX
"Well, after decades of trying other shampoos and especially conditioners, when I saw you had this I couldn't believe it. I wondered if it was and would do, the same for my hair, which is very fine and straight.I bought both the shampoo and conditioner. I tried it. The very first time I used them I finally was able to experience a good hair day. The shampoo cleans and the conditioner is not heavy. It is the perfect combination for my hair type.And, of course, my hair smells terrific!! Thank you, VCS!" - Kelly Khuri, Jeffersonville, IN
"I used GYHST shampoo and conditioner around 1975-1977, and I'm pretty sure it helped my husband fall in love with me! I hunted for this shampoo and conditioner for many years, and I am happy to be able to buy it again. I think the Old version back in the 70's was stronger-smelling, however I do like the new one. My hair is oily, and this product gets it squeaky-clean and very manageable. Even though it is a little different than in the old days, I do like it very, very much. I give it an A+. I hope to be able to order it again, after my current supply runs out! - April Callahan, Lexington, SC
"I literally CRIED when I smelled this shampoo (just like I cried when they took it off the market years ago). THANK YOU for bringing this back to us. It reminds me of being a young 13-year-old girl and attending the Bay City Rollers concert in 1976! (ha, ha!)" - Tracie, Portland, OR
"The reason I love it is because I have always liked mild-smelling , long-lasting smells in shampoos and lotions since I was a teen back in 1975. I met my husband in 1976 and have been married 36 years, and he has forever told me that the thing he has never forgotten the most is the soft smell in my hair when we met and for a couple of years after that. I used GEE YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC until I couldn't find it anymore." - Isabel Calderon, Spring, TX
"There everyone was...50+ kids all awaiting outside the mess hall doors to enjoy the lunch feast. I just got out of my shower and I had no time at all to put on makeup or even deoderant! I was in the middle of the entire group feeling utterly and completely naked. And that's when I heard it: A miraculous voice chiming from behind me, "Wow, your hair smells AMAZING!!!!" And that's when every eye in the entire 30-foot diameter of a crowd turned to me and the audiance erupted with, "That's you?!!?" and, "I was wondering what that was!!!" All I had to say was, "Gee, my hair smells terrific!!" as all self-conciousness evaporated away, and from that moment on at camp, I was known as "that girl that smells frickin' awesome." - Brooke, Rio Linda, CA
""My dearest best friend is Gloria. She's the popular gal who draws a crowd everywhere she goes. She and I hit it off at her 8th grade party, and after all these years, I'm still amazed she chose me. I am proud to say she's my best friend of all. On Friday nights we'd spend hours getting ready for the BW dances. "Gee, your hair smells terrific," I'd say. "Thank you," said Gloria. "What shampoo do you use?" I asked. Gloria answered, "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific." "Thank you, but what's the name of your shampoo?" "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific." Grrrrrrrr... This volley went on and on to the point of ridiculousness. We were easily entertained in the 9th grade. Between us is endless chatter, hysterical laughter and experiences so exciting, fun, and daring they could not be imagined, reproduced or topped in a million years! Enjoy your new-old shampoo, Gloria! Wish my nose was 1,000 miles longer so I could get a whiff of your terrific-smelling hair :( You'll need to come up with some adjectives worthy of describing it for me.AMA AFF RMA LOONEY-TOONY-neet-neet. From- Hey Hey Hey This is the Venus-21502 (10-4;Roger)" - Trina Firey, Frederick, MD
"I used this product while in high school back in the late 70s. I loved the smell!! In fact, when I was at the swimming pool and jumped in to get my hair wet, the lifeguard (male) would comment on how good my hair would smell. From then on he would say, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!!" When I found the shampoo on your website I had to buy it. I bought one for my daughter and one for myself. My daughter also loves the smell. I use it ever so sparely, as I am saving it. Also bought the conditioner and love it." - Nancy ,Topeka, KS
"I can't believe I just saw this product for sale again! I used it in the 70s and can remember some of my friends laughing at the name until they smelled it! I've told my daughters and others about my favorite shampoo. I'll never forget being in the local pub and leaning forward to talk with a guy friend. He thought I was joking when he asked what made my hair smell so terrific. In those days there was smoking everywhere, yet my hair still smelled so good despite the room full of smoke! I've often wondered why no other manufacturer ever made a shampoo/conditioner that had such a scent that was so remarkable that people would ask what it is. I'm having a great time reminiscing my teens! " - Sue Curtice, Rochester, NY
"I've been looking for this delicious shampoo and conditioner for years. I loved it so much, and when it wasn't available anymore, I was devastated. The smell was unique and sexy and fresh and everything good!! My teen years and early 20s were scented beautifully thanks in part to this product- what happy fun times! I still enjoy my life and finding Gee Your Hair Smells Terific once again has given me another reason to smile and to say, "Gee your store is terrific!" Thank you, Vermont Country Store." - Mary Shaw, West palm beach, FL"
""I just can't say how much this shampoo meant to me!! I first used it when my husband and I were going through a rough patch back in 1972, and I can now remember how happy I felt when, after using it the first time, he actually nuzzled my hair and he said, ""Honey, your hair smells so good..in fact, your hair smells terrific."" I was so disappointed when this wonderful shampoo was taken off the market. Through the years I searched for it, and it wasn't until just yesterday I started to remember how good I felt after using it, and just for giggles I put ""GYHSG"" in a search engine and your store came up!! Well WOW, and knock my socks off -- there it was, that wonderful shampoo of years ago!! I'm buying it now and hopefully forever, if you should decide to keep selling it!!! Please do!!!"" - Lori White, Buffalo, NY"

Non-DSicrimination: NPD not separating DS and DSi sales in monthly report
David Riley, separated data won’t be passed out to the press, but NPD clients will be allowed to witness the beginning of the DSi’s glorious conquest. Even money-counters need money, after all.
Guess we’ll just have to hope that Nintendo spills the beans in a moment of success-intoxicated honesty. Stranger things have happened.

The Reverse Ring
The Winter Massanutten Trail Circuit Run
February 22-23, 2014
Entry for the 2014 Reverse Ring will open in the last week of January. Watch this space for the link to the online entry.
This late February tradition is back again to haunt a handful or two of trail runners this year – the Reverse Ring. 2014 will be the ninth running of this semi-invitational event. The Reverse Ring is a roughly 71-mile counter-clockwise circuit of the Massanutten Trail, and it will be held in 2014 on February 22-23. The “semi-invitational” label means that there is only one requirement to get in: a runner must have successfully completed a fall running of The Ring and be a member of the “Fellowship of The Ring.” Very simple - and an absolute requirement. (List of Fellowship Members)
Those eligible to run (see first paragraph) should enter by February 19, 2014. If you have questions about the run, e-mail Mike Bur ([email protected]) or Quatro Hubbard ([email protected]). We will also be looking for a small handful of volunteers to help on race weekend, so if you would like to come out and play for a few hours please let us know.
2013 Entrants
2013 Volunteers
Mike Bur
Quatro Hubbard
Brian Schmidt - Woodstock Tower
Hillary Peabody - Edinburg Gap
Tom Simonds - Moreland Gap
Stephanie Wilson - Crisman Hollow
Kathy & Bob Fabia - Camp Roosevelt
Bill Wandell - Veach Gap/Roving Aid
Caroline Williams - Signal Knob (finish)
The Details for 2014 22 cutoffs for runners in the Reverse Ring:
The first is at the Moreland Gap aid station, 30.4 miles into the run. Runners need to arrive by 3:30 PM in order to continue on the full course. That means that a runner who starts at 6 AM will have 9 1/2 9:30
- Woodstock Tower 14.2
- Edinburg Gap 22.4
- Moreland Gap 30.4
- Crisman Road 36.8
- Camp Roosevelt 46.1
- Veach Gap 62.4 (unmanned)
- Finish 71.1
The access road to Powells Fort Camp is closed at this time of year, so there likely will not be aid at that point along the Massanutten Trail. If someone is willing to do it, we may have a volunteer hike or bike his or her way into that area to provide some aid and note your arrival time at Powells Fort Camp. Otherwise, the first aid runners should anticipate will be after 14.2 miles at the Woodstock Road crossing. The same situation will apply to the traditional halfway point on the orange trail, the Crisman Road crossing aid station, as the runners descend from the Kerns Mountain section of the trail. Crisman Road is closed at this time of year, and aid will only be available if volunteers can hike it in from the end of the paved section of that road. If not, runners will be doing the 15.5-mile section from Moreland Gap to Camp Roosevelt without aid. And of course, the notorious 25-mile long night section along the east ridge of the Massanuttens, from Camp Roosevelt to the finish back in the Signal Knob parking lot, has not had formal aid in the past. We plan to once again pitch a tent at the junction of the Veach Gap Trail and the Massanutten Trail, about 8.7 miles from the finish. There will be aid in the tent, and it will provide shelter in case any is needed during the night-time hours up on the east ridge of the Massanuttens. There will also be a clipboard for a self-reported arrival time at this un-manned aid point.

Quentin Tarantino's 20 Coolest Movie Characters Of All Time
>>IMAGE.
20. Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), "Death Proof"
The list begins with one of Tarantino's scariest creations: a charming serial killer who prefers killing unsuspecting females with his stunt car following some delightful conversations. After years of family-friendly material, Russell triumphantly returned to the muscular badassery of his "Road House" days.
19. Fabienne (Maria de Medeiros), "Pulp Fiction"
Obsessed with potbellies and known to leave behind priceless watches, Fabienne is only given a few "Fiction" scenes but quickly establishes an exotic flair as Butch's better half, and becomes the wide-eyed soul of the film's middle third. Without de Medeiros, Bruce Willis' samurai sword-wielding louse doesn't really have a moral compass.
18. "Nice Guy" Eddie (Chris Penn), "Reservoir Dogs"
The late Chris Penn delivered his most memorable performance as the steely thug who foils Mr. Orange's undercover plot in Tarantino's debut. Although "Nice Guy" Eddie doesn't snag as much screen time as the suited thieves, his presence is the lynchpin of the blood-soaked finale.
17. Elle Driver (Darryl Hannah), "Kill Bill"
Years of forgotten Daryl Hannah moments (yes, there were two "Grumpy Old Men" movies in there somewhere) were atoned for with her tour de force performance as Bill's other lethal gal, who happens to despise "Kill Bill's" heroine. Without her slimy presence in "Volume 2," the second half of the Bride's journey becomes a lot less interesting.
16. Sgt. Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz (Eli Roth), "Inglourious Basterds"
The Bear Jew really, really hates Nazis in "Inglourious Basterds," and Tarantino bestowed his pal Eli Roth (the director of "Hostel," if you were wondering) with one of his war epic's most stomach-churning scenes. If you thought the Hebrews in "Munich" kicked ass, you've never seen Donny Donowitz take on the Third Reich...
13. O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu), "Kill Bill"
There's the anime prologue, and then the decapitation, and of course, the "House of Blue Leaves" battle centerpiece. O-Ren Ishii had some kick-ass compatriots by her side in "Kill Bill Vol. 1," but how many other female mafia bosses have had RZA songs written about them? After the child's play of the "Charlie's Angels" movies, Liu here was allowed to kick some adult ass with Tarantino.
12. Django (Jamie Foxx), "Django Unchained"
Don't be fooled by the flashier characters surrounding him: the titular character of Tarantino's latest film is just as intensely likable and downright crafty as his friends and enemies, but operates with a slower tongue and quicker trigger finger. Years after "Ray" made him an A-list star, Jamie Foxx displays a fearlessness of physical expression, flashing a sharp, searing anger with just the wiggle of a finger and a "I like the way you die, boy."
11. Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman), "Pulp Fiction"
There's a reason why Thurman's gorgeous black bangs and disinterested gaze were front and center on the "Pulp Fiction" poster: as the dreadfully unhappy and serenely drug-addled Mia Wallace, Thurman reinvented the "mobster moll" archetype. And her "ketchup" joke was actually funny!
10. Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), "Inglourious Basterds"
With a ridiculous accent, broken vernacular and hit-or-miss superstar asked to embody him, the character of Aldo Raine could have easily stuck out like a sore thumb in Tarantino's World War II re-imagining. But Brad Pitt ran with the assignment at hand and turned the hard-headed Basterds leader into a comic masterstroke. In between strong dramatic turns in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Moneyball," Pitt demonstrated his versatility in arguably his strangest role to date (okay, "Interview with the Vampire" probably wins, but still).
9. Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), "Django Unchained"
Tarantino has created a lot of bastards (and, er, Basterds) in his past scripts, but there's a special place in movie hell reserved for Calvin Candie, the guilelessly sinister plantation owner who serves as Django's biggest hurdle in "Django Unchained." In a startling change of pace, DiCaprio recognizes just how much a little Southern charm can mask an absolute and almost childish ruthlessness within his character's uber-racist bones. The owner of "Candieland" and the biggest Francophile in the pre-Civil War South presents the most interesting wrinkle in Tarantino's latest adventure.
8. Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), "Pulp Fiction"
The hulking embodiment of fear in "Pulp Fiction," Marsellus Wallace was the antithesis of the jittery robbers in the film's diner scene -- brutal and calculating, the character controlled the seedy world of Tarantino's plot until a "hillbilly" named Zed turned that world upside down (and ugh, no pun intended). Forever the bruising kingpin, Rhames shook off supposed tough guys like Travolta and Willis with a single medieval sneer.
.
6. Jackie Brown (Pam Grier), "Jackie Brown"
As the highly anticipated follow-up to his most critically beloved film to date, "Jackie Brown" is Tarantino's least "epic" film thus far -- even the genre exercise "Death Proof" is more self-serious about its tone -- and whizzes along with a crackerjack plot that never becomes too fussy or overly dramatic. The soul of the film, of course, is Pam Grier, the veteran actress who headlined a handful of Blaxploitation flicks in the 70s and enjoyed a career revival with her measured performance as a flight attendant with her eye on a bag of money. Whether she's sharing tender moments with Robert Forster or gunning down her biggest threat, Grier holds nothing back in "Jackie Brown," and Tarantino's third film soars because of her presence.
5. Winston "The Wolf" Wolfe (Harvey Keitel), "Pulp Fiction"
The Wolf makes the Top 5 of this list because let's face it: he's such a cool character that "Pulp Fiction's" final third allows for a lot of sloppy plot development just so Harvey Keitel can pulverize the scenery, one slick order at a time. The fast-driving problem-solver helps Jules and Vincent efficiently dispose of a body and its splattered brains while nimbly handling both of their egos -- and looking fresh as hell to boot. Further proof that Keitel killed this performance: compare it to Tarantino's tonally challenged work as Jimmie in the film, and you'll see just what a boon Winston Wolfe is to "Pulp Fiction."
4. Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), "Reservoir Dogs"
Before he showed up as the secretly psychopathic Budd in the "Kill Bill" movies, Michael Madsen rattled "Reservoir Dogs" with a gleefully deranged, thankfully doomed character that stands as one of Tarantino's most interesting creations. Vic Vega, better known as "Mr. Blonde," is completely devoid of nerves: when Harvey Keitel's character is yapping at him, Madsen's madman shrugs off the insults, and when a cop is tied to a chair, Blonde doesn't think twice about helping him out with that pesky ear. In a story about honor among thieves and non-thieves, Mr. Blonde is stuck in the middle as a soulless mercenary, with a type of bone-deep carelessness that makes him truly a nightmare.
3. Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), "Inglourious Basterds"
Christoph Waltz's character in "Django Unchained," Dr. King Schultz, almost made the cut for this list, but it's hard not to think of that performance as a great variation on Waltz's first stroke of Tarantino-bred genius. As the dastardly Nazi colonel nicknamed "the Jew Hunter," Waltz was given the role of a lifetime and lived up to the arduous task: Hans Landa is charming, witty, likable, and also, an unrepentant murderer, dashing the hopes of the Allies until a fortuitous flip-flop in the final act. Waltz, not his marquee co-star Brad Pitt, owns "Inglourious Basterds," and wrings each movement and turn of phrase of as much panache and dread as humanly possible.
2. The Bride (Uma Thurman), "Kill Bill"
Easily Tarantino's most complex character to date despite lacking a proper name through 90 percent of "Kill Bill," Thurman's journey for vengeance was so epic that one mere film could not contain it. But for all the bloodlust and blood-splatter, "Kill Bill" would fall apart if not for the deep sorrow that Thurman nestles deep within the character throughout both volumes; a killer whose dreams of a normal life have been violently dashed, the Bride must mechanically destroy her enemies for ruining her one shot at humanity. And when she is finally reunited with her daughter and wins that freedom, "Kill Bill" becomes an undeniable crowd-pleasers. Nos. 1 and 3 on this list were both nominated for Academy Awards for their respective performances; nearly a decade later, Thurman's omission is still glaring.
1. Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), "Pulp Fiction"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?" Tarantino films -- and specifically Tarantino's style of dialogue -- would be viewed totally differently had he not created Jules Winnfield, the standard-bearer for the mix of lyrical conversations and virtuosic violence that has come to define the director's scripts. Jackson's sweaty curls and mutton chops shook with every syllable leaving his mouth, and his extended monologues about European McDonald's and foot massages were almost as rapturous as his now-famous favorite Bible passage. Yet, as much originality as Jackson injected into the character, Jules was always meant to be a throwback: like Caine, the "Kung Fu" character he quickly references in the final scene, the hitman is inclined to walk among the world's various troubles and visit them with grit and fortitude. He's trying real hard to be the hero of "Pulp Fiction's" universe of drugs and violence, and for that, we're likely to never forget him.

Re: hlsearch being off not respected
Hi
I have the hlsearch box deselected in Tools->Options->ViEmu. It seems to turn on/off the functionality correctly if I toggle the state and press OK, but if it's off, when I restart VS, hlsearch is always back on (though when I go into Options the checkbox is correctly saved as unchecked).
This is 2.0 in VS2005.

A storm cloud rumbled in the distance as the Chester Rotary Club’s annual HOG (Happening on the Green) event opened last Wednesday afternoon on the Chester Village Green in Chester. As barbeque dinners were served, libations consumed and conversations initiated, the storm hit with a vengeance, blowing down tents and scattering the 100 or so folks who had arrived before the storm just before 5:30 p.m. The storm hit quickly, upending the food and information tents. Screams could be heard as one of the large dining tents came down in a gust of wind. But, within about 15 minutes, it ended quietly. The Rotary members picked up the pieces, reset the tents and began the party anew. Those with tickets continued to arrive, as DJ Scott Fisher turned up the music and the HOG finished as it began, on a happy note.

Planet Rose Karaoke
219 Ave. A
New York, NY 10009
212-353-9500
Karaoke is meant to be cheesy. So don't do it in a posh, private room with a dozen of your closest friends. Sing your heart out in a lounge that looks like a 13-year-old girl decorated it (zebra print and hot-pink furniture are in no shortage here). Planet Rose Karaoke in the East Village is an old standby, yes, but it's our guilty pleasure. It's where we turn when we want to let everyone know that no, we don't actually think we sound great when we attempt to sing the instrumental part of "Bohemian Rhapsody," but we're still having a good time doing it. Planet Rose features a songbook with more singles than you'll ever have time to look through, affordable drink specials to fuel your night, and special rates for large groups and birthday parties. Songs are free with the purchase of a drink on weekdays and during happy hour (4 to 8 p.m.) on Fridays and Saturdays. After 8, they're just two bucks apiece. 219 Avenue A, 212-353-9500, planetrosenyc.com (10009)

Bob Durick of Struthers "found" Ella when he bounced her under his truck in New Castle, Pa., in March 2009. She was just a kitten and was living on the street. Although she was missing some fur and was a little bloody, she ate some of his leftover spaghetti, climbed into his truck and fell asleep on his lap. Several minutes later, dinner was all over his lap and front seat. Apparently she was allergic to Italian food.

Awesome !!!
The Radisson SAS Hotel in Limerick, Ireland is such a great hotel. At check in you are met by Great welcoming Smiles. Vivian, Sinead, Berlyn, and Geraldine invite you to experience all the hotel has to offer : Free wireless internet access point, Good breakfast and a wonderful property. Even tho the hotel is geared mostly for business travelers they welcome vacationing guest and have a lot to suggest (take their suggestions)for you to do. I was directed where and what to do, they provide great help in getting acclimated to the Irish driving expirence and grat conversation when i was not out and about. The rooms are beautiful and spacious with all the necessiary amenities, if you don;t find it in the room just call the desk and you'll have it.
I could not have stayed at a better hotel. Thank you Radisson SAs Limerick. You will definately get my business again. You surely show how hospitable ireland and what it has to offer. Keep up the good work Guyz.

Pleasant surprise
I was not sure about this place when I first booked, but once I was there, it felt like home.
This is a very simple facilty. It is a dorm-style room with 3-4 beds per room with a shared bathroom. Considering I was sharing the room with other people, it was very quiet. Once nice thing is the kitchen facilities. A full kitchen with toasters, coffee maker and rice cooker. It saves a lot of money from having to eat out.
This hotel is perfect for people who just need a place to sleep, and don't require any special services. Although there is Internet connectivity and a phone with free calling to major Canadian cities.
Overall, a nice stay.
Unique Quality: No unique qualities. No special services. Just a bed and bathroom.

Major Disappointment
This hostel was hostile. As in: cramped, dark, cold, very poorly and cheaply furnished room (3 of us were crowded into a space the size of a small bathroom). I was "welcomed" with a massive overcharge of $60 because my plane arrived late (advertised as "$60/per hour if you show up after a certain time - in actuality, even if the manager only spends ten minutes checking you in, you still get charged the full $60). Really sad to be writing this, because in general I support local businesses and hostels. But this one? I would only recommend it to people I didn't like.

Two buildings in Canberra rank high in the stakes for being the most hideous looking buildings in Australia – both these buildings are beside each other. One is the High Court of Australia and the other is the National Gallery.
Ok, so you have got it – I don’t like the building and for this reason it was not for some 12 years after moving to Canberra that I actually decided to have a look inside. I thought to myself – it’s what on the inside that counts.
I guess what one thinks of the inside (or indeed the whole set-up) is very much dependent on whether one is there at Her Majesty’s (or is it the Governor-General’s?) invitation to appear before the learned judges ,of this the highest court in Australia, or whether one is visiting at ones own volition.
To remove any doubt my reader may have – I fell into the latter category.
Inside this cavernous monstrosity are three small court rooms and a suite of administrative and judicial offices. The balance of the building, volume wise by far the greatest part, is a giant multi-story lobby and staircases.
You might think I don’t like it internally either. This is not the case and in spite of the 1980’s bright orange carpet or perhaps because of it I actually quite like it internally and it is certainly worth a visit. The 1980’s public areas décor/colour scheme, which is continued into the courts themselves, was personally selected by the Chief Justice of the day.
As noted earlier the High Court of Australia is the highest court in the Australian judicial system and first sat (in Melbourne) in 1903 when it comprised 3 Justices. It increased in size until 1946 when it reached its current size of 7 Justices appointed by the Governor General. The Court transferred to Canberra in 1980 – the building was opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The main entrance of the Court is approached by a long ceremonial walkway replete with water cascade feature which runs the length of the walkway.
Most of the courts work relates to appeals against decisions of other courts though there is no automatic right to have an appeal heard by the court. Decisions of the High Court on appeals are final. Other activity relates to cases involving the interpretation of the constitution (brings to mind the iconic and classic Australian movie “The Castle”) and those involving a principle of law deemed by the court to be one of major public importance.
A small but interesting display of historical items is located in the main lobby while the walls are modestly and tastefully adorned with some reasonably interesting artwork including a six piece mural by Jan Senbergs designed to reflect on the history, functions and aspirations of the Court.
The Courtrooms
Court 1 – which is used for all ceremonial occasions and in all cases where the Full Bench of the seven Justices of the Court is required to sit was closed for refurbishment when I visited.
Court 2 – is used where a full court of five Justices is required – see picture.
Court 3 – is for matters dealt with by a single Justice.
All the courts are of modern layout with Australian wood featuring heavily throughout.
Court Guides are on hand to introduce you to the history, role and operation of the Court and its building. On days when the Court is not sitting information sessions are offered in the Public Hall and Courtroom 1 at 11:00am and 3:00pm. On Sundays, one session is held at 2:00pm. Outisde these hours guides are generally available to answer your questions.
If the Court is sitting, you can watch proceedings.
Court sitting details
Normally, the Court sits in Canberra for two weeks of every month, except for January and July when it is in recess. High Court sittings are open to the public. Normal Court sitting hours are from 10.15 am to 12.45 pm and 2.15 pm to 4.15 pm.
General opening hours
9.45 am to 4.30 pm Monday through Friday, except public holidays
Sundays from midday to 4.00 pm. (Though I missed it on my recent visit one of the guides informed me that some form of music or choir recital is planned on Sunday afternoons for the remainder of 2013).
The Chambers Cafe is open Monday to Friday from 9.45 am to 3.00 pm and on Sundays from 12.00 pm to 4.00 pm.
Admission fee: free
While near Lake Burley Griffin or browsing through the sculpture gardens at the National Gallery, you will hear tolling of bells, almost throughout the day.
The sound comes from the National Carillon, located on Aspen Island at Lake Burley Griffin. It was a gift from the British Government to the people of Australia to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Capital.
According to travelmallaustralia.com, the National Carillon has 53 bronze bells andis large by world standards. The pitch of the bells ranges chromatically through four and a half octaves. The bells each weigh between seven kilograms and six tonnes. Cast in England by John Taylor & Co., they are fine examples of the art of bellfounding.
The National Carillon tower rises to a height of 50 metres, allowing the music of the bells to drift across Lake Burley Griffin and through Kings and Commonwealth Parks. The tower is lit at night, providing a magnificent landmark in the National Capital. Recitals are performed throughout the year by local and visiting carillonists. All styles of music are represented, from arrangements of popular songs to compositions specially written for the Carillon.
The NFSA (to save words) was established to collect and preserve audio-visual material with enduring national cultural significance. As such, it provides a resource for researchers and also presents exhibitions and events. The collection holds over 1.3 million items and can be searched online. All that is very worthy, but what is there to interest you, the tourist? Well, when you visit (free), you can go to the theatre and watch a constant screening of Australian movies or documentaries. You also have access to a library and a shop where you can purchase all manner of books, souvenirs, or copies of movies (DVD). There also is a small cafeteria should you need refreshments.
When we visited recently, there was a display of posters for Australian films – film posters apparently were highly individual in different national styles until recently. A unique dimension was added by the inclusion of Polish posters for Australian films: quite different from those released locally for the same films!
The building housing the NFSA is interesting in its own right. It was built in 1929-1930 and served for over 50 years as the headquarters for the Institute of Anatomy. The style is called “Stripped Classical” – I guess that refers to the columns at the front. More interesting, however, are the ‘Art Deco’ touches throughout the building, mixed with representations of Australian wildlife: the skylight with its central platypus is an excellent example.
NB. The NFSA website contains very useful information on how to best preserve your own personal audiovisual material.

I was unsure whether to put this tip under 'things to do' or under 'off the beaten path', because so few visitors seem to get far beyond the Parliamentary Triangle! Finally, I decided that it definitely comes under the category of something to do: and something a little different at that.
The Royal Australian Mint opened in the inner suburb of Deakin in 1965. Since then, it has produced over 12 billion coins. Entry is free and there is ample parking, with free barbecues in the grounds. Inside, you can look at displays including a museum of coins from throughout Australia's history. On working days, you can watch the coins being produced. You can even mint your own $1 coin from a special press which is available to the public. Commemorative and collector coins are also available for purchase from the shop. Open weekdays 0900-1600, weekends and public holidays 1000-1600, closed Christmas Day and Good Friday.
On the southern side of Lake Burley Griffin is a series of imposing building, all of which, the exception being the library, have been set amongst trees so some of their lines are not immediately apparent.
One of these is the High Court of Australia. It lies between the National Gallery and Questacon (science museum) and around springtime, with the international flags adding even more colour, it makes a delightful place to go for a stroll.
If u want to learn how the coins are make in Australia, do make sure u drop by the Royal Australia Mint. The mint provides u with abundant information on the history of australian coins and the process of coin making. Special highlight is that u can mint your own AUD$1.00. It is machine operated which require u to slot in AUD$2.50 in order to mint your own AUD$1.00. WARNING!!! the process is very fast, the next thing u know, your own AUD$1.00 coin has been made... hahaha.. but it is a great souvenir.
Over here, u can even get some of those uncirculated coins and also those halogram coins. However, it is very very expensive!!! (sad)....:(
open:
mon - fri (9am - 4pm)
Sat, Sun $ public holiday (10am - 4pm)
closed during xmas n good friday
The High Court of Australia is the highest court in the Australian judicial system. The functions of the High Court are to interpret and uphold the Constitution, to interpret Federal law and hear cases referred from other courts. It is one of Canberra’s most prestgious public buildings.
Open 9.45am to 4.30pm and entry is free.
you can operate a coin press to mint your very own $1.00 coin. And yes, it is legal tender. You'll also see a fascinating collection of coins and watch from the elevated viewing gallery as money is being made.
You can see the world of the champion athlete from the inside as you tour the complex.
The AIS tour is not to be missed, you get to see how champion athletes train and live and all tours are conducted by elite athletes. The tour incorporates Sportex - an exhibition of interactive sports displays, videos and tributes, as well as the latest sports technology. You also get to see athletes train in such sports as - Gymnastics, Basketball, Swimming etc.
National Capital Planning Exhibition Centre
The centre gives a good background about this 'planned' city and helps you gain a perspective that is otherwise impossible. It is also a great place to view the Lake.

Did you mean?Try your search again
To me it looks like a radar station, or maybe it is a part of the meteorological station? It is situated on Mt. Malak Rezen, on the way to Cerni Vrh. Whatever it is, it's a nice motif for a photo. And maybe somebody can help me with more info?
Updated Oct 10, 2006
Do you love snow? If yes, you can see some even in mid-July! There is some hardened snow left on northern slopes. We came across a patch on the way down to Aleko. As you can see on the pic, you can walk on snow, dressed in shorts! And I didn't feel cold at all, after all, it was 25'C...
Updated Aug 1, 2006
If you're climbing Cherny Vruh, don't forget your zoom lens. The views are great from all sides of the top, so make sure you go around. On one side, you can see Rila mountain, still covered in snow here and there. On the other side, you can see a big blue lake in the distance. On the side of the pub you can see Sofia down in the valley. Zoom in, and you'll be able to see some of Sofia's landmarks: NDK, Alexander Nevski Cathedral, the big parks, the street grid... You can also see other parts of Vitosha, some stone rivers, fieeds, forests, distant hills...
In short, get your camera ready the moment you mount the gondola/chair-lift or start climbing!
Updated Aug 1, 2006
Takes around 2 hours from Aleko, there are several trails, some very steep, some easier. The views are worth it. On the top, there's a small pub at the Meteorological station, where you can also bring your own food but I recommend the traditional mountain pub "cuisine" : bean soup, lentis soup, real herbal tea... Enjoy the fresh air, spectacular views, stone rivers...
There are buses leaving from Hladilnika Bus-stop. One goes to Simeonovo where you can take the gondolla to Aleko (there's a shelter, restaurants, skiing facilities there). Another goes to Moreni Hotel from where you can walk to Aleko. Also you can take a bus to Dragalevtsi and take the chair-lift from there. Buses are more regular on weekends.
If you take the short cut to the top you have to be very careful. The last time we went with VT members Rusket, Childish, Backpackermoose, Sheep&Co in July 2006. On the way back we took a shortcut down a steep, rocky and muddy path. Unfortunately, Marit slipped and fell, hiting her leg on a rock. Good thing she didn't break anything. So if the path is muddy, bettter take the longer, but safer, trail!!

Address: Vitosha Mountain
This tip is meant for my friend Pocketpiglet, cause he is so fond of bungyjumping. As you can see I was only testing, cause I had no rope. Looks like it is not high enough for me. But Piglet is a lot smaller, so I guess this would be a nice place for him to jump.

There are more than 1500 species of plants within the boundaries of the national park. Some of them are endemic, and some endangered. Especially this high the flora is vulnerable. So dont pick any, and take care where you put down your foot / drive your bike!
Updated Jul 30, 2006
The moraines, also called stone rivers, are typical for Vitosha National Park. The largest ones are up to 2 km in length and 50 m in width.There are eight of them, left by anxient glaciers. Many of the granite rocks are rounded by natural forces. The most spectacular one is said to be the one in the Zlatni Mostove area (Golden Bridges). The ones on my pictures are from the area around Cerni Vrh / Aleko.
Written Jul 30, 2006
The meteorological station on top Cerni Vrh was finished in 1935, and is still in use. But it also serves as a shelter in case of bad weather, there is a restaurant serving excellent bulgarian food (see restaurant tips) and the mountain rescue service has a base there. Start and stop point for many hiking and mountain biking trails.

Address: Cerni Vrh
This monument near Cerni Vrh must be for Aleko Konstantinov, writer and democrat: The nickname he gave himself in one of his short stories, Shastlivetsa (The Lucky Man) is written under the relief face on the rock, and the square plaque down right of the relief is a memorial of 100 years of tourism, 1895 - 1995. Konstantinov invited people to climb Cerni Vrh, and 27 august 1895 300 of them did, which is considered the beginning of mountain tourism in Bulgaria. But what is the meaning of the years (numbers) 1899 - 1959? The man was born 1 january 1863, and was assassinated 23 may 1897! I would appreciate help to clarify this, from locals or others!
(Pics 2 & 3 are closeups of the same motif.)
Updated Jul 30, 2006
Address: Cerni Vrh, Naroden Park Vitosha
Cherni Vrah (meaning The Black Peak) is the highest peak of Vitosha mountain (2290m) and the 4th highest one in Bulgaria.
It is easily reached form Sofia. There are a lot of routes leading to Cherni Vrah from different parts of Vitosha mountain but the most popular one is the route from Aleko. How to get to Aleko see my transportation tips. From Aleko there is a route to Cherni vryh but we usually take a shortcut and the whole journey takes about 1.5h (using the shortcut; on the road it is a bit longer). Of course, you can take the lift from Aleko to Cherni Vrah too.
Usually it is very windy and most of the time it is clowdy there. The weather changes there very fast so I recommend you to get up early if you want to go there. And put on properly clothers and shoes.
On the top you may have sun bath, climb the rocks, enjoy the views, take pictures, and have bean soup (the last one is a must).

Subcellular
Biochemistry, Volume 25: Ascorbic Acid: Biochemistry and
Biomedical Cell Biology
Edited by J. Robin Harris. Plenum Press, New York, 1996.
Reprinted with permission, ©1996.
Ascorbic Acid and Connective
Tissue
Ivonne Pasqualli Ronchetti, D. Quaglino,
Jr., and G. Bergamini
1. SCURVY AND VITAMIN C
Observations of deficient wound healing in sailors suffering
from scurvy have been reported by explorers and physicians
since the sixteenth century, together with the observation
that citrus could have curative properties. Thereafter,
Wolbach and Howe (1926) found that in scorbutic guinea
pigs there was a deficient production of intercellular
matrix which could be reversed by administration of citrus.
The discovery, isolation, and chemical characterization
of vitamin C was performed in the early thirties. Since
then, several studies have been carried out with the aim
of characterizing the cellular and matrix defects in scurvy
and the effect of vitamin C on the healing process in
species unable to synthesize ascorbic acid, such as guinea
pigs and humans. Several models have been proposed, including
animals made scorbutic during fetal development (Rivers
et al., 1970) and postnatal growth (Barnes et al., 1970),
and cultured organs and cells grown on chemically defined
media in the absence (Jeffrey and Martin, 1966) or in
the presence of various concentrations of ascorbic acid
(Russell and Manske, 1991).
The great majority of these studies, however, were performed
on vitamin C-deficient guinea pigs and pointed to the
delay and to the histological, biochemical, and mechanical
features of healing of skin wounds or after laparatomy.
It was observed that vitamin C-deficient animals exhibited
persistent hemorrhaging; impaired production of granulation
tissue, such as reduced vessel formation and collagen
production; and slowed gain in wound strength (Lanman
and Ingalls, 1937; Hunt, 1940; Hartlett et al. 1942: Bourne,
1944). These early data were confirmed in a recent study
on pregnant sows with a hereditary defect in synthesizing
ascorbic acid, in which severe pathological alterations
were observed in the uterus and in the placenta as well
as in the fetuses on administration of a diet depleted
of vitamin C. These changes consisted of hemorrhages,
hematomas, and general edema in both placenta and fetuses
and in impaired ossification of the fetus skeleton (Wegger
and Palludan, 1994).
The distribution of ascorbic acid in wounded and intact
skin of guinea pigs was investigated in an attempt to
elucidate requirements of vitamin C during tissue repair,
and the authors reached the conclusion that in the early
stage of tissue regeneration there is a gradient distribution
of ascorbic acid in areas surrounding the wound depending
on the local physiological requirement (Kim et al., 1994).
Experimental vitamin C deficiency in humans was assayed
in the early forties by Crandon (1940), who underwent
a skin incision after six months on a diet essentially
free of ascorbate. Failure in the reparative process,
together with deficient formation of inter-cellular matrix
and vascular elements, were histologically observed in
a biopsy of the wound taken ten days after a skin incision.
Similar results were later confirmed by Wolfer and coworkers
(1947).
Since then, numerous investigations have demonstrated
that in vitamin C deficiency the principal failure of
wound healing was impaired synthesis and secretion of
collagen (Robertson and Schwartz, 1953).
2. COLLAGEN AND VITAMIN C
The great majority of studies on the effects of vitamin
C have been performed in vitro; on cultured cells of different
origin and have pointed to the role of ascorbic acid in
collagen synthesis, maturation, and secretion.
In the early sixties, with the development of electron
microscopy, Ross and Benditt (1962, 1965) observed in
experimental scurvy a defective progression of labeled
proline through the altered cysternae of the rough endoplasmic
reticulum to the Golgi and the matrix. These results might
be interpreted as impaired processing of collagen and
storage of underhydroxylated molecules within the endoplasmic
reticulum of fibroblasts. which were stimulated to synthesize
collagen during wound healing in the absence of vitamin
C. An enormous number of studies performed in the sixties
demonstrated that the principal failure in wound healing
during vitamin C deficiency is the scarce synthesis and
secretion of collagen due to impaired hydroxylation of
proline residues in collagen types I and III (Gould and
Woessner, 1957; Gould, 1958).
Synthesis and maturation of interstitial collagens up
to their final cross-linking into insoluble cross-banded
fibrils is not the subject of this presentation, but it
is necessary to mention some of the steps involved in
the maturation of collagen molecules in order to understand
the effects of vitamin C. Like the great majority of secreted
proteins, procollagen molecules are synthesized in the
rough endoplasmic reticulum and require posttranslational
modifications before being extruded from the cell. However,
collagen is a rather peculiar protein. First of all, the
molecule is formed by three polypeptide chains that assume
a specific helical conformation due to the high content
of glycine which occupies every third position along most
of the length of the three polypeptide chains. Moreover,
collagen is characterized by the presence of hydroxyproline
and hydroxylysine formed by specific hydrolases during
the molecule assembly; furthermore, some of the hydroxylysine
residues undergo O-galactosyl and O-galactosyl-b-glycosyl
substitution. All these post-translational modifications
are necessary in order for collagen to be secreted from
the cells as procollagen.
In the extracellular space, procollagen is further modified
by enzymes which cut the C- and N-terminal portions of
the molecule and make tropocollagen suitable for self-assembly
into banded fibrils. The last enzymatic modification of
the collagen molecule is by lysyl oxidase, which initiates
a series of reactions leading to the formation of stable
intermolecular cross-links. As far as lysyl oxidase is
concerned, in vivo, this enzyme activity in rat skin does
not seem to be significantly affected by excess of vitamin
C in the diet; on the contrary, lysyl oxidase was inhibited
in a concentration-dependent manner in an in vitro assay
in which lysyl oxidase activity of chick embryo bones
was measured in the presence of increasing concentrations
of ascorbic acid (Quaglino et al., 1991). A similar reduction
was also observed by Faris et al. (1984) in cultures of
rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells.
With time, collagen undergoes other modifications such
as glycosylation and additional intermolecular cross-linking,
that do not suggest a role for vitamin C, but may be particularly
relevant in pathological processes.
2.1. Collagen Hydroxylation
As already mentioned, collagen contains the unique amino
acids hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, which are necessary
for the stability of the molecule and for its complete
maturation. The synthesis of these amino acids occurs
posttranslationally during the assembly of the polypeptidic
chain (Uitto and Prockop, 1974), is independent of the
age (Brinckmann et al., 1994), and is catalyzed by prolyl
and lysyl hydroxylases in the presence of oxygen, a-ketoglutarate,
ferrous ions, and ascorbic acid (Hutton et al., 1967;
Kivirikko and Prockop, 1967). Ascorbic acid has been found
to be specifically required for the decarboxylation of
a-ketoglutarate in the prolyl-4-hydroxylase reaction,
where it may act as a com pound necessary for the reduction
of enzyme-bound ferric iron formed during proline hydroxylation
(Yu et al., 1988). In fact, ascorbate is not stoichiometrically
consumed during prolyl hydroxyletion (Tuderman et al.,
1977), and the reaction may continue for several cycles
in the absence of ascorbate, but then the reaction ceases
and vitamin C is required as a quite specific compound
to reactivate the enzyme (Myllyla et al., 1978). Hydroxylation
of a number of proline and lysine residues, at specific
sites of the nascent collagen molecule (Uitto and Prockop,
1974), is necessary for the polypeptidic chain to undergo
peculiar conformation and glycosylation of some of the
hydroxylated lysyl residues; all these steps are necessary
for the secretion of the procollagen molecule.
Hydroxylation of prolyl and lysyl residues may also occur
in vitro. Protocollagen, the unhydroxylaled form of collagen,
was isolated from cells cultured in the presence of the
iron chelator a,a-dipyridyl; moreover, the in vitro hydroxylation
of prolyl residues by prolyl hydroxylase was shown to
be dependent on the structure of prolyl-containing substrate
(Berg and Prockop, 1973a). Therefore, during the formation
of procollagen, prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases serve to
prepare the molecule to assume the correct conformation
necessary for its thermal stability and secretion (Uitto
and Prockop, 1974). In fact, underhydroxylated and underglycosylated
collagen has been shown to be retained within the cell
and to accumulate into large cyloplasmic vacuoles (Koss
and Benditt, 1965; Olsen and Prockop, 1974: Harwood et
al., 1975). The persistence within the endoplasmic reticulum
could be explained, at least partially, by the fact that
the underhydroxylated chains undergo a delay in the triple
helix formation and may stably associate with protein
disulfide isomerase, a multifactoral endoplasmic reticulum
resident enzyme, which is the b-subunit of prolyl-4-hydroxylase
(Bassuk and Berg, 1989). Therefore, prolyl-4-hydroxylase
specifically binds the non-triple helical procollagen
chain, playing a role in its intracellular retention (Olsen
et al., 1973). Similar retention has been observed in
a strain of fibroblasts harboring a deletion of 180 amino
acids in the pro-a2(I) chain, which causes a delay in
the molecule folding into the triple helix and in collagen
maturation (Chessler and Byers, 1992).
In the absence of vitamin C, underhydroxylated procollagen
molecules are not only retained within cells (Dehm and
Prockop, 1971), but are less stable and more temperature-sensitive(Berg
and Prockop, 1973b). Procollagens with different hydroxyproline
content were shown to be sensitive to pepsin digestion
at temperatures lower than physiological, and the phenomenon
was directly related to the extent of hydroxylation. Therefore,
at 37EC, hydroxyproline-deficient molecules might not
be in triple helical conformation within cells and could
be most sensitive to proteases (Rosenbloom et al., 1973).
This may imply that, in vitamin C deficiency, the impaired
collagen production is partly due to its cellular retention
and partly to its denaturation and destruction by unspecific
proteases within the cell.
Cell strains isolated from patients suffering osteogenesis
imperfecta, a connective tissue disorder caused by mutations
in the genes encoding type I collagen and affecting procollagen
chain association, were shown to increase procollagen
synthesis upon addition of ascorbic acid to the culture
medium, as well as the synthesis of BiP, an hsp70-related
stress protein, which was found to bind pro-a1(I) chains
stably (Chessler and Byers, 1993). This could be a mechanism
for retaining genetically altered and abnormally hydroxylated
(and/or glycosylated) collagen molecules inside cells.
As BiP synthesis is stimulated by ascorbic acid, this
could be an additional mechanism for preventing secretion
of abnormally configured collagen molecules.
2.2. Collagen Gene Expression
Human dermal fibroblasts and rabbit articular chondrocytes
were shown to produce higher amounts of collagen in the
presence of ascorbic acid in vitro (Hata and Senoo, 1989;
Hering et al., 1994); moreover, ascorbic acid was shown
to overcome the reduced proliferative capacity and to
ameliorate the reduced collagen synthesis of elderly human
fibroblasts (Phillips et al., 1994).
A stimulatory effect of ascorbate has been largely demonstrated
on the synthesis of collagen types I and III and recently
shown for collagen types II and X in chondrocytes (Leboy
et al., 1989; Hering et al., 1994) and for collagen type
IV in cultured rat skin epidermal cells (Ohkura et al.,
1990). On the contrary, a negative effect of vitamin C
has been described for collagen types V and VI in cultured
bovine aortic smooth muscle cells (Leushner and Haust,
1986).
These data might be explained by the fact that ascorbic
acid seems to play a role in collagen synthesis also at
the level of gene expression and/or mRNA stability in
cultured fibroblasts and chondrocytes (Lyons and Schwartz,
1984; Geesin et al., 1988; Sandell and Daniel, 1988; Quaglino
et al., 1989; Kurata and Hata, 1991; Kurata et al., 1993;
Phillips et al., 1994), as well as in vivo (Quaglino et
al., 1991). However, the mechanisms involved are still
not completely known. It is worthwhile mentioning that
the majority of studies of the effect of vitamin C on
collagen gene expression have been made in the presence
of connective tissue-modulating growth factors, such as
epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor
(TGF-b), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) (Hata et al.,
1988; Appling et al., 1989; Kurata and Hata, 1991; Phillips
et al., 1992; Geesin et al., 1993).
During the first weeks of vitamin C deprivation, scorbutic
animals exhibit reduced food intake, which correlates
with the rate of weight loss and with the decrease of
collagen and proteoglycan synthesis (Chojkier et al.,
1983). Later it was shown, however, that reduced collagen
mRNA expression and synthesis can be observed in several
tissues of vitamin C-deficient guinea pigs, which may
not be simply related to the reduced food intake or to
the role of vitamin C in the hydroxylation of proline
residues in collagen; therefore, other more complex mechanisms
and interactions among different cell products seem to
be involved (Gosiewska et al., 1994). In vitamin C-deficient
animals, elevated levels of IGF (insulin growth factor)
mRNA and of IGFBP (insulin growth factor binding protein)
mRNA have been identified, which seem to be responsible
for the inhibition of the IGF-I-dependent functions. Removal
of these inhibitors by specific antibodies restores collagen
gene expression. Therefore, vitamin C deficiency seems
to induce the synthesis of inhibitors of IGF dependent
functions, such as collagen gene expression (Goldstein
et al., 1989, Peterkofsky et al.,. 1994; Gosiewska et
al., 1994).
Rather interestingly, vitamin C has been shown to stimulate
transcription of the gene and accumulation of mRNA for
the pro-a1(I) chain but has failed to stimulate transcription
and increase of the mRNA for the pro-a2(I) chain in fibroblasts
from a patient with a2(I)-chain defective Elhers Danlos
syndrome (Hata and Senoo, 1992; Kurata et al., 1993).
This may indicate the presence of different regulatory
elements responsible for transcriptional activation by
vitamin C in pro-a1 (I) and pro-a2 (I) genes in normal
fibroblasts (see also Chapter 3).
In a study we performed on the effects of excess of vitamin
C on collagen of growing rats, an increase or collagen
deposition as well as mRNA expression was observed in
the aorta after more than 10 days of treatment (Quaglino
et al., 1991).
According to some authors, ascorbic acid might stimulate
collagen gene expression through lipid peroxidation; vitamin
C, in fact, may induce lipid peroxidation with the formation
of aldehydic compounds, and some of these, such as malondialdehyde
have been shown to stimlulate collagen production and
raise procollagen a1 (I) mRNA levels in vitro (Brenner
and Chojkier, 1987; Chojkier et al., 1989). Moreover,
both lipid peroxidation and collagen production induced
by ascorbic acid have been shown to be inhibited by a-tocopherol,
a lipophilic antioxidant, or by iron chelators, suggesting
that the two processes are correlated and that an appropriate
redox state might be an important mechanism in controlling
collagen gene expression in vivo (Geesin et al., 1991).
More recent data, however, seem to point to a different
interpretation of the role of the ascorbate-induced lipid
peroxidation on collagen gene expression (Darr et al.,
1993). It has been suggested that lipid peroxidation and
collagen synthesis are coincidental but dissociated, as
metal chelators used to abolish the iron-ascorbic acid-induced
lipid peroxidation may also inhibit prolyl hydroxylase
and, as a consequence, collagen production. Moreover,
cell-impermeable iron chelators have been found to be
good inhibitors of ascorbate-mediated lipid peroxidation
but ineffective in inhibiting collagen synthesis (Darr
et al., 1993).
In any case, almost all studies on the promoting effect
of lipid peroxidation by vitamin C were performed in vitro;
the effect of vitamin C-induced lipid peroxidation might
not be so relevant in vivo. Under physiological conditions,
most of the iron is bound to proteins, and vitamin C might
prevent lipid peroxidation instead of stimulating it (Mukhopadhyay
et al., 1997). Moreover, the role of ascorbic acid in
vivo is generally considered to be one of cellular defense
against oxygen toxicity and lipid peroxidation (Chakraborty
et al., 1994) through a mechanism of free radical scavenging
followed by its conversion to dehydroascorbic acid. Collagen
indeed is susceptible to fragmentation by superoxide anion
with liberation of small hydroxyproline-containing peptides
(Monboisse and Borel, 1992), and, in vivo, vitamin C could
protect collagen from degradation by hydroxyl radicals
in the presence of oxygen.
Therefore, collagen synthesis, maturation, and secretion
as well as collagen degradation are tightly bound processes,
and vitamin C seems to be involved at different levels
of the whole process.
3. ELASTIN AND VITAMIN C
From the early studies on the effect of ascorbic acid
on collagen production, it was observed that vitamin C
deficiency did not affect elastin synthesis and secretion,
although it greatly influenced the degree of its proline
hydroxylation. In the presence of vitamin C, hydroxyproline
in elastin accounts for about one third of the total amino
acid content (Uitto et al., 1976), and proline/hydroxyproline
ratio in elastin is approximately 1:1; on the contrary,
in both skin and aortas of vitamin C-deprived guinea pigs,
the proline/hydroxyproline ratio in elastin was 20:1 (Barnes
et al., 1970). Though underhydroxylated collagen cannot
be excreted from cells, underhydroxylated elastin is secreted
at a normal rate (Rosenbloom and Cywinski, 1976) and,
similar to collagen, in a colchicine-sensitive way (Uitto
et al., 1976).
An influence of vitamin C on elastin synthesis was described
by Scott-Burden and coworkers (1979), who found that heart
smooth muscle cells in vitro incorporated radioactive
valine, an amino acid prevalent in elastin, to a greater
quantity in the absence of than in the presence of ascorbic
acid. Moreover, the elastin produced and secreted in the
absence of vitamin C underwent the cross-linking process
in the extracellular space more rapidly than that produced
in the presence of ascorbic acid (Scott-Burden et al.,
1979). Similar findings were published by DeClerck and
Jones (1980), who found that the amount of insoluble elastin
in the extracellular space was inversely proportional
to the ascorbic acid concentration in the medium. Therefore,
proline hydroxylation in elastin is not necessary for
secretion or for molecule assembly and cross-linking;
on the contrary, underhydroxylation in vitamin C deficiency
seems to favor elastin assembly and its stabilization
into the polymer. Moreover, hyperhydroxylated elastin,
produced in vitro in the presence of ascorbic acid, was
shown to contain more free lysine residues and to turn
over more rapidly (Dunn and Franzblau, 1982). At physiological
temperatures, both in vivo and in vitro, tropoelastin
molecules undergo a process of self-assembly into fibrillar
structures called coacervates (Cox et al., 1974; Volpin
and Pasquali-Ronchetti, 1977; Bressan et al., 1983, 1986).
This phenomenon also seems to happen in vivo and to be
a prerequisite for enzymatic cross-linking of tropoelastin
molecules, through the oxidative deamination of e-amino
groups of lysine residues on adjacent molecules by the
enzyme lysyl oxidase (Narayanan et al., 1978). The inhibition
of the molecular assembly by hyperhydroxylation of proline
would lead to a less cross-linked stable polymer (Urry
et al., 1979).
In order to investigate whether an excess of ascorbic
acid could modify in vivo the assembly of the elastic
fibers, we treated growing chicks and rats with excess
of vitamin C in their diet and drinking water, respectively
(Quaglino et al., 1991). Animals were killed after various
treatment times and the aorta examined by electron microscopy,
in situ hybridization, and biochemical methods. After
30 days treatment, the ultrastructural organization of
the aortic elastic fibers appeared to be significantly
affected by vitamin C treatment compared to control animals
(Fig. 1); in situ hybridization revealed a decreased expression
of elastin mRNA on slices from the aorta of vitamin C-treated
rats (Fig. 2); moreover, stereological measurements on
electron micrographs showed a significant increase in
collagen and decrease in the elastin content in the aortic
wall of treated animals (Fig. 3).
FIGURE 1.Electron microscopy of 30-day chick
aorta. Animals were fed a standard diet (a) or a
diet supplemented with 0.2% ascorbic acid from hatching
(b). Chick aorta is composed of layers of smooth
muscle cells (SMC) among which there are several
elastic fibers (E) and a few collagen bundles (C).
Vitamin C seems to cause an increase in collagen
bundle deposition and a decrease in elastic fiber
assembly. Bar: 1 Fm.

corresponding to exons of 18 to 36 of human elastin
and exposed for autoradiography. Animals treated with
an excess of vitamin C show a decreased expression
of elastin mRNA compared to control animals. Bar:

analysis of the rat aorta in 50-day old animals grown,

added to the water. Treatment causes an increased
deposition of collagen bundles and reduced amounts
of elastic fibers, whereas no significant changes
were observed in the cellular component or in the
remaining extracellular matrix.
4. MATRIX GLYCOPROTEINS AND VITAMIN C
Relatively few studies are available on the effects of
vitamin C on synthesis and secrction of matrix molecules
apart from collagen and elastin; however, in a number
of studies occasional mention is found of fibronectin,
proteoglycans, bone matrix glycoproteins, and elastin-associated
fibrillin (Schwartz et al., 1982; Kielty and Shuttleworth,
1993).
Ascorbic acid has been shown to stimulate in vitro differentiation
and production of matrix molecules by adipocytcs (Taylor
and Jones, 1979), fat-storing cells (Senoo and Hata, 1994),
chondrocytes (Leboy et al., 1989; Aulthouse, 1994), myoblasts
(Nandan et al., 1990; Mitsumoto et al., 1994), and osteoblasts
(Franceschi and Iyer, 1992). In this latter case, vitamin
C has been shown to be taken up by the cell through a
specific transport system (Wilson and Dixon, 1989) and
to influence osteoblast differentiation in a rather unusual
way. The expression of the osteoblast phenotype is regulated
by a series of factors, including growth factors, glucocorticoids,
parathyroid hormone, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3; however,
differentiation and mineralization seem to require the
presence of an extracellular collagen matrix. Vitamin
C has been shown to be necessary both for the production
of the collagen matrix and for the expression of osteoblast
markers, such as alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin,
whereas it seems to have no effect on the level of osteopontin
mRNA (Franceschi and Iyer, 1992). In recent years, a number
of papers have pointed to the effect of ascorbic acid
on the differentiation of bone cells. Ascorbic acid has
also been shown to enhance the effect of retinoic acid
on mRNA expression of pro-a1(I) collagen and of alkaline
phosphatase in an immortalized strain of rat osteoblasts
in culture (Choong et al., 1993). Ascorbic acid was found
to stimulate cell proliferation, together with collagen,
non-collagenous protein, and alkaline phosphatase synthesis,
in pig bone cells in culture when added after cell confluence,
suggesting that it may interfere with cell differentiation
(Denis et al., 1994).
Ascorbic acid, in association with b-glycerophosphate,
was found to stimulate matrix mineralization by inducing
an increase of neutral metalloproteinase in matrix vesicles,
which may be able to degrade proteoglycans favoring mineral
precipitation (Brooks et al., 1994). Once again, vitamin
C, b-glycerophosphate, and dexamethasone induced an increases
of the mRNA level for collagen type 1, osteocalcin, bone
sialoprotein, and alkaline phosphatase in association
with the development of bone nodules in an in vitro system
(Malaval et al., 1994). In all these studies, ascorbic
acid seemed to act as a promoter for collagen synthesis
and secretion, whereas subsequent cell-matrix interactions
seemed to influence cell shape, metabolism, and differentiation
(Aulthouse, 1994). In fact, bone protein synthesis was
blocked by inhibitors of collagen triple helix formation
(Franceschi and Iyer, 1992), but these inhibitors were
ineffective if added after a certain amount of normally
hydroxylated collagen had been produced (Franceschi et
al., 1994). This could mean that bone cell differentiation
depends on vitamin C for the synthesis and secretion of
the first collagen matrix and that it may continue also
in the absence of ascorbic acid due to the already established
cell-matrix interactions.
Addition of ascorbate to cultured calf aortic smooth
muscle cells was shown to increase collagen secretion
together with fibronectin and proteoglycans and the phenomenon
was associated both with changes in cell morphology, from
elongated to polygonal, and with an increase of the cell
growth rate (Schwartz et al., 1982). These findings could
be the result of the first deposition of a matrix collagen,
stimulated by ascorbic acid, followed by changes in cell
metabolism that are regulated by cell-collagen interactions.
The effect of ascorbic acid on the production of proteoglycans
is rather controversial. Edward and Oliver (1983) found
that both hyaluronate and sulfated glycosaminoglycan synthesis
by human skin fibroblasts was affected by vitamin C. Kao
and coworkers (1990) found that ascorbic acid stimulates
the production of glycosaminoglycans in cultured fibroblasts,
whereas Pacifici (1990) observed that in chick chondrocyte
cultures the secretion of keratin sulfate and chondroitin
sulfate-containing proteoglycans was not affected by ascorbic
acid in the culture medium.
In a recent study, vitamin C was shown to negatively
influence the synthesis of aggrecan and to abolish the
lag phase for decorin synthesis in cultured rabbit articular
chondrocytes (Hering et al., 1994). The production of
laminin and fibronectin was also shown to be increased
by vitamin C added to the cultured bovine trabecular meshwork
cells (Yue et al., 1990), suggesting a possible influence
on cellular adhesion molecules.

Aubrey Replenishing Moisturizing Lotion Honeysuckle CoQ10 -- 3 fl oz 2 2
Absorbs quickly, non-greasy This is a good moisturizer for hands. Absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. December 26, 2012
Wonderful, but short shelf life When I first got this I was so excited because finding this natural fragrance in a lotion is rare, and it reminded me of childhood spent playing in the creeks with honeysuckle growing all around and smelled amazing and felt wonderful on the skin. Unfortunately after about 2 weeks it started to smell weird, like almost a spoiled smell, like when fresh flowers go bad, or something similar. They need to work out the preservative mixture or something. That was quite awhile ago so maybe they've improved it since then, and it was a larger bottle so perhaps the smaller 3 oz is designed to last as long as its full, I can't say. October 25, 2012

Mill Creek Botanicals Styling Gel Extra Body -- 8 fl oz 1 1
Not great Ok so I'm not normally a gel user but a hair dresser said I should try it because I have wavy/curly hair. It's nice ingredients and holds hair, but it didn't give me volume(I air dry my hair) and my hair was crunchy. I will definitely go back to mousse! April 11, 2009

Effects on the skeletal system are common. In older populations Calcarea phosphorica covers many cases of arthritis, especially when the ligaments are affected and when stiffness is a prominent symptom. Many cases may resemble Rhus toxicodendron; the stiffness can be so intense that it verges on a constriction that almost defies movement. Patients suffering from such stiffness have to walk about to achieve some relief. It can be a very debilitating and uncomfortable state. Limping can appear suddenly after hearing bad news. Stiffness of the cervical region, especially at the borders of the trapezius muscles, is a strong characteristic of this remedy. This stiffness is greatly aggravated by a draft of air. These people are worse from draughts in general, but the cervical area suffers from an exaggerated sensitivity.
Calcarea phosphorica, Rhus toxicodendron, and Cimicifuga are the main remedies for stiffness and pain in the cervical region that is aggravated by draughts. In Cim. the stiffness in the cervical region can become so severe that the brain feels as if it is enclosed within a cloud. With Rhus-t the accompanying feeling is one of irritability. Their stiffness makes them irritable and restlessness. They want to move about and are unable to stop or sit quietly for even five minutes. Rhus-t. patients are also inclined to rub their necks a great deal. Calcarea phosphorica does not demonstrate such restlessness; they sit quietly, and their mind grows more and more dull. The Calcarea phosphorica aggravation usually consists of a stiff neck coupled with a dull and sluggish the mind; it is as if the circulation to the brain has been compromised. Both Rhus-t. and Calcarea phosphorica have the inclination to move the neck and crack it, and the noise that comes from such cracking is impressive.
It is interesting to observe that nowadays, for most people, there exists a vulnerability to stress in the cervical region. It seems that almost everyone experiences stiffness of the neck, especially when fatigued. Most particularly, however, this stiffness arises when an individual perceives that the extent of his responsibilities exceeds his capacity to fulfil them. It is also quite liable to arise when a person's desire to perform in accordance with the expectations of others is frustrated.
The muscles, tendons, and ligaments are lame, weak, and sore, often from straining them or due to cold weather. Interestingly, the extensors tend to be more affected than the flexors.
Glands and Swellings:The glands and lymph nodes also suffer from malnutrition. They are often swollen and sore. The tonsils and adenoids are particularly affected; enlarged tonsils and adenoid growths are symptoms that are well verified. We also see swellings of the cervical, inguinal, or mesenteric lymph nodes. Calcarea phosphorica like Calcarea carbonica is useful in polypi of the nose, uterus and rectum.
Modalities:We mentioned three causes for the development or the aggravation of a Calcarea phosphorica case: causation or aggravation due to bad nutrition, bad news, or bad weather, i.e., cold and wet. The special aggravation from melting snow is a striking sign, especially in cases of rheumatism and arthritis. Draughts of air can very easily provoke complaints, and any change of weather definitely aggravates symptoms. Whenever the patient goes without a hat, walks on the floor with bare feet or gets his feet wet, he catches a cold. He can have chills running up his back. While the occasional patient may, due to the phosphoric element, be warm-blooded, he still experiences the aggravation of his localised complaints in cold, wet weather. The aggravation from cold extends to food as well; ice-cream, frozen foods and drinks tend to cause colic or diarrhoea. Other foods and drinks that may have a similar aggravating influence are fruit and cider.
Another strong modality is that exertion, especially mental exertion, may bring on complaints. Physical strain, such as lifting, also has negative consequences (back pain, etc.).
Calcarea phosphorica is aggravated by thinking of complaints and by consolation. Dentition and puberty are critical points in the development of young Calcarea phosphorica individuals. Heat generally ameliorates, as does warm, dry weather; the same is frequently true of lying down. Some complaints are also ameliorated by washing with cold water.
Appearance: Calcarea phosphorica individuals tend to be tall and lean, even scrawny, and have an appearance different from the 'pasty' appearance of Calcarea carbonica people. Both have a flabby abdomen, which is often large, but which in Calcarea phosphorica may also be sunken. Calcarea phosphorica's complexion is less chalky-white and tending more to dirty-white or brownish than Calc.
Weakness and Fatigue: Weakness and fatigue on all levels is a marked characteristic of Calcarea phosphorica. The weariness is worse from going upstairs. The individual wants to sit down and not get up again. There is a predisposition of the lower limbs, abdomen and sacrum to 'go to sleep' and thus the individual is unable to rise from his seat.
Weakness and languor may occur during menses or pregnancy, with leucorrhoea, with diarrhoea, in dentition, and after acute diseases. Exertion, especially mental, makes these people feel weak, but so does physical exertion, even just the act of talking. Vexation may also induce states of weakness.
On the physical plane, muscular flabbiness is characteristic of Calcarea phosphorica, and quite often flabbiness of the lower abdomen is a prominent feature. As the Calcarea phosphorica state develops, an individual who may have been muscular and energetic loses his stamina, often rather precipitously; his muscles lose their firmness and strength, and he begins to put on weight. Flabbiness begins to pervade the whole organism.
Some further general qualities of Calcarea phosphorica are: Sensations of crawling or tingling, numbness and coldness are characteristic, as the protagonist of the 'tissue remedies', Schissler, perceived; they often accompany pains and convulsions due to anaemic states. There is a tendency for the sensations to occur in small spots. Trembling, especially of the arms and hands, is also a symptom that frequently accompanies other ailments, such as uterine complaints, headaches and bellyaches. The discharges of Calcarea phosphorica persons generally tend to be albuminous; they contain albumen and look like the white of an egg. The tendency to perspire, especially around the head in sleep, as mentioned in the section on the Calcarea Child. Calcarea phosphorica may also be indicated for convulsions. Schissler gave as a special indication 'Convulsions without fever in teething children.' In children, we may see convulsive starts when they lie on their backs, which cease when they lie on their sides. In convulsions of children, however, to secure the best effect, the remedy must not be given when the child is in the throes of the convulsion. In young persons whose bodies are developing, the remedy brings on epileptic spasms after suppressed menses due to bathing. Attacks of spasms go through the body like an electric shock, so that she falls down, last about a minute and occur up to thirty times a day.
Calcarea phosphorica has a tendency to produce very strong aggravations that may last for 10-20 days, which is considerably longer than for most other remedies. It is very important to differentiate an aggravation that is due to the healing process from an aggravation that comes from an involuntary proving!
Other remarkable modalities: the urge to stool may be attended by pain in the head; gastric or uterine symptoms are often accompanied by headaches. Hering's proving produced the following strange observation: 'Great desire for tobacco-smoking; headache relieved.' Changes of weather will often aggravate or bring about a headache, which extends downward: from the forehead to the nose, or the from temples to the jaw. It may be connected with rheumatic pain and tearing in other parts, e.g. from the clavicles to the wrists.
As discussed above, there are very often problems with the bones of the skull: hydrocephalus (often with diarrhoea and vomiting), delayed closure of the fontanelles, soft, thin skull bones are pathologies which Calcarea phosphorica affects. Sometimes we see a tottering, large head in a child, the neck being too weak to hold it properly. The bone pains prefer the region of the sutures and have a drawing, tearing, rending quality. The scalp tends to be itchy and sore, which has led to the cure of impetigo or eczema of the scalp. Falling hair [alopecia areata) or the hair being of poor quality can frequently be observed.

Visiting Toy Story Land & Flights of Fantasy Parade @ Hong Kong Disneyland
May 7th

**.
A Magical Weekend at Hong Kong Disneyland – Attractions, Rides, Shows and Food
May 1st
Posted by vkeong in Entertainment | (7,931 views) had the opportunity to visit the new Toy Story Land (more on the upcoming post) as well as catching the Flights of Fantasy Parade which we missed during our last visit.
That being said, we still have not thoroughly explored Hong Kong Disneyland, get on all the rides and watch all the shows they have. So you can imagine how huge the theme park is and there are just too many things to see and do. I will recommend at least a two days tour if you are serious to fully enjoy Hong Kong Disneyland.
As soon as we reached Chek Lap Kok International Airport, we took a taxi to Disneyland’s Hollywood Hotel where we were staying to meet up with our personal tour guides. The taxi ride (~HKD137) was recommended by the airport staff as the cheapest and fastest way to Disneyland, as compared to taking the MRT and Airport Express or bus.
3D2N Stay @ The Villas, Sunway Resort
Jan 5th
Posted by vkeong in Bandar Sunway | (5,924 views) perfect place for couples who seek to celebrate special occassions with utmost privacy – no babies, no families so no noisy kids running around. And with only 17 villas around, there would only be a maximum of 34 guests at anytime.
Just to be clear, I am not ‘invited’ to stay here and then write this post to promote them whatsoever. We actually own a SIVC (Sunway International Vacation Club) membership that we signed up with when we just started to work. Yeah we were young and stupid. Frankly speaking if not for the membership, I don’t think I would even consider staying here. But it is good to experience nice things once in a while, we gotta enjoy life sometime.
Anyway, this building behind the small pond is actually a restaurant-cum-reception of The Villas called the Pavillion. You can also think of it as your very own private restaurant, where you will be having most of your meals – breakfast, evening cocktails and romantic set-dinner (if you booked one).
Since The Villas is pretty much off limits to everyone except the guests and staff, you have to be driven in by the butlers. The best spot to park your car would be at The Duplex‘s car park. There are plenty of parking space here and it is free of charge as well. If you are not familiar with Sunway and could not locate The Duplex (it’s pretty tricky to find this place) you can also park your vehicles at Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa. Then from the hotel lobby, you can take the hotel’s swimming pool, walk across it and follow this staircase which will lead you to The Villas.
If that is still very confusing, then the easiest way would be to tell Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa’s reception that you are checking into The Villas. They will know what to do and send someone to pick you up. Don’t worry about the parking ticket, you will given another one that looks like a room card that will let you get out for free later.

Later still, when the immediate threat of plague had abated, the dance continued in a more politicized form. The Church had used its symbolism to emphasize the futility of human vanity in the face of mortal destiny. The secular community now used it to underline and celebrate the common fate of all classes of society.
The Danse Macabre which the Bones Band performs today is a bit of all of these things -- a ritual to dispel danger, to acknowledge the ultimate domocracy of the grave, as well as to celebrate Life itself by honoring the dead, and affirming the continuity of existence. It is by this celebration of death, indeed, that we reclaim the joy of life, and assert our communion with all that have gone before.

The Party of Free Life of Kurdistan, a banned PKK offshoot, also uses Qandil as a springboard for attacks on Iranian territory.Iranian artillery units often fire at Qandil, and Turkish warplanes stage bombing raids against suspected rebel bases there.Turkey already has been pressing the U.S.-backed Iraqi government to clamp down on Kurdish guerrillas who use Iraq as a base. Ankara and Tehran fear Kurdish success in creating an autonomous region in northern Iraq encourages their own Kurdish minorities.PKK rebels attacked a Turkish army outpost on Saturday, killing six soldiers and wounding 11.Last week, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani urged Turkey and Iran to stop bombing northern Iraq's Kurdistan region.In comments Friday to the United Nations General Assembly, Mr. Talabani said the bombing is victimizing many civilians. He called on Turkey and Iran to use diplomacy and dialogue to ease tensions with Kurdish rebels.

Good Indian-Chinese food is hard to find. It's beloved in India, the most popular kind of restaurant cuisine after Indian food itself, the creation of Indian-Chinese restaurateurs cooking to local taste--heavy on the chiles, scallions, ginger, and soy, some sugar, plus lots of frying. Masala 2 Wok is singly dedicated to Indo-Chinese cooking, with just a handful of Thai dishes thrown in for the heck of it. You'll find everything from chicken lollipops (here dubbed "drums of heaven") to chilli paneer and "Szechwan" shrimp. For the gobi Manchurian, cauliflower is thinly battered and fried until it is quite golden and crisp, napped with a spicy-sweet sauce. The green chile vinegar on the side sends it into the stratosphere.

Institute for Constitutional Studies Events:
George Washington University Law School
, where I teach, is home to the
Institute for Constitutional Studies
, a terrific center run by the constitutional scholar
Maeva Marcus
. The ICS puts on
a series of wonderful events
, some of which are open to the public and some of which are seminars for grad students and/or junior faculty from any school.
I've found that fewer people know of the ICS than should know of it, so I wanted to flag it for grad students, junior faculty, or members of the public in the DC area who might want to come to an event. For example, I just received notice of a terrific seminar for graduate students that the ICS will be hosting in the fall taught by Mark Tushnet:
The Rights Revolution in the Twentieth Century
(.pdf link to flyer advertising the seminar). If you're interested, check it out.
For the record, the Institute for Constitutional Studies has no affiliation with the Center for Constitutional Studies, the Institute for Humane Studies, the Institute for Justice, or the People's Front of Judea.

Make no mistake, everyone in USF Softball is rooting for Ken Eriksen this weekend in OKC... including Team USA/Texas legend Cat Osterman.
When you travel with a Delta Platinum member, you do things like drink free screwdrivers at 6:10 a.m. in the Crown Club. So I write this from the skies between TIA and Memphis with a pleasant buzz as we eventually head to Will Rogers International Airport for an historic moment in Bulls history.
I'll try and give you as much color to this weekend as we can here, but on the field it comes down to this; we gotta win today against Oklahoma and Keilani Ricketts, who Ken Eriksen compared to Babe Ruth (also, apparently Ken knows him some Sir Mix-A-Lot), or we gotta win four in a row to get to the Championship Series. It's a tough road to hoe, but honestly that's not why I flew out here. I'm here because as of 1pm today, The Curse is broken, and this entire trip is a celebration.
For those of us that suffer with the Bulls not just on Fall Saturdays or during men's basketball, the glass ceiling for USF has always been competing to the end. After four near-misses, a team wearing USF colors is competing on the biggest stage in their sport. This isn't the farthest any team sport has ever gotten at USF (women's golf in '87 finished fourth in the NCAA Championships, men's soccer has 3 quarterfinal appearances, and our now deposed co-ed rifle team won several NCAA individual national championships), but it is the first time a "spectator-friendly" team sport has made it to the big stage. And it's so appropriate that softball is the team to break through. Ken Eriksen has been a fantastic USF alum and coach for decades, and seeing him finally getting a chance to vie for the title is wonderful.
Plus this team is just so incredibly likable. We love Ilaura on the iTalk series, Feed The Mouse, Eriksen doing things like getting the students fired up just by pointing at them during a techno song when the beat switches... even Laura Fountain appropriately pointing out the horrendous umpiring during the Super Regional. They seem like such nice kids, and they play their butts off, which is all you can ever ask from any Bulls team. So we're here to cheer them on to victory... but make no mistake, we are the clinical definition of happy to be here. And having some Spurs-Thunder in town makes it all the better for an NBA junkie like me.
I'll add as many
drunken degenerate drinking and gambling stories tales from the road as I can this week. Plus Jamie will be joining us tomorrow, which is good because corrupting him is one of my favorite pastimes. But no matter the results on the diamond, this is a celebration, and plenty of diehard Bulls are making the trip. It's been a long time coming.

Democrats urge gubernatorial run by House Speaker
04/28/08 6:34AM
House Speaker Gaye Symington got a rousing reception from Vermont Democrats at a party dinner over the weekend, with former Governor Madeleine Kunin and others urging her to run against Governor Jim Douglas.
Symington got a standing ovation Friday night at the ninth annual Curtis Awards dinner in Burlington, but she was noncommittal about running. The Jericho Democrat says she won't decide whether to run until after the Vermont Legislature winds up its 2007-2008 session, which could be this week.
Douglas is expected to seek his fourth two-year term in the November 4 election. His only challenger so far is Progressive Anthony Pollina.
Pollina also attended Friday night's event, but wasn't introduced from the stage and got no crowd chants urging him to run. Neither did former diplomat Peter Galbraith, who has also said he may run.

PEACE AND COMFORT
PEACE AND COMFORT
Much more beautiful than the pictures show. Every year several of my family get together for a weekend to get together for a little sight seeing, shopping and fellowship. At our Fall/Winter get away, we had discussed going to Lancaster and Gettysburg. I found the property in Jan., but did not act on getting arrangements made until many "help me" calls to Barbara at the end of March. She was so helpful and kind in every way, even down to sending me directions. From the time we drove in the lane we felt like we were home. The grounds are beautiful, the house and cottage comfortable, just like being at home. The house has everything you will need,and the scenery will melt the stress away. The remarks after we all got back home were the same, wishing we had spent more time at the farm.

Beautiful Farmhouse
Beautiful Farmhouse
This was our second time staying at this vintage farmhouse and, once again, we had a fantastic time. Although the house is full of historical charm, it is also well-maintained with modern amenities (washer, dryer, flatscreen TV, cable) that helped make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed cooking dinner in the fully equiped kitchen and relaxing afterwards in the adirondack chairs with a glass of wine. The owners even left a basket of Pennsylvania goodies and coffee! We will definitely be coming again and would recommend this property to anyone. It's the perfect fall destination as it is convenenient to several pumpkin patches and the National Apple Harvest Festival.

Amazing extended family getaway
Amazing extended family getaway
Our extended family, including grandparents, numerous adults, and children from teens to age 5 stayed for four nights in June. It is a beautiful property with something for everyone. The pictures don't even do it justice. The variety of rooms is great for allowing a large group to spread out. The pool was a hit every night for the entire family. We loved grilling outdoors and family dinners at the outdoor picnic tables. I wish we had a few more days to just sit and enjoy the porch. Easy access to Gettysburg and the Amish country make good day trips. Owners make you feel like you are staying at a family home. I would highly recommend this farmhouse without hesitation.

History lover's dream!
History lover's dream!
Staying at the Anthony Farm was an extrordinary experience. I got to sleep in a house that was standing when the battle in Gettysburg was actually happening a few miles away. It was an opportunity to live in an historic home for a few days. The modern things were in place, bathrooms, laundry, pool, and a kitchen that was clean and updated without destroying the farmhouse ambiance. We were able to take advantage of the closeness of Hershey Park, Gettysburg, and even Harrisburg. We also enjoyed the solitude of long walks, sitting by the pool, a campfire at night and mugs of coffee on the front porch at dawn. If you love history, or peace and quiet, or having your family reunion without intrusion from other groups, I highly recommend visiting the Anthony Farm in East Berlin, PA. Every one of us, from age 7 to 62, had a fantastic time!

I just returned from a week long vacation with family. The property is gorgeous and well maintained. The house has everything you could possibly need. The house is beautiful and tastefully decorated. My favorite place on the property was the pool house. It was a great place to read and relax. The owners are so friendly and accomodating. The property is a short drive to Gettysburg. I hope to visit next summer. To sum up: If you are planning on visiting this area please consider staying here. You will not be disappointed.

Fields of Dreams
Fields of Dreams
My family and I were looking for peace and quiet for our summer vacation. And we found what we wanted in this wonderful, bucolic setting. How big is 83 acres? BIG! Big enough to feel like you're the only people for miles around. The only things to keep us company were the fields of corn and the silence, which is all the company we desired. The house itself is a rambling gem of antiquated charm, complete with wavy, time-worn, wide plank floors and all of the appropriate touches that make a house a home. And since the temperature hit 90 degrees every day, the in-ground pool was a welcome, cooling respite. But this farm, first and foremost, is about solitude, and I can't pay this property, and the owners who tend to it with loving care, a higher compliment than this: for one week in July 2010, we found our field of dreams.

My husband and I spent a week at this beautiful farm and loved every minute of it! Barbara and Forry have restored all the buildings beautifully and were very pleasant to do business with!

WOW! This place is a must see!
Our family spent a week here in July 2009 and we are so glad we did. This property is outstanding! Barbara has paid close attention to detail in her decorating style. The farmhouse and little cottage are just adorable. We loved the swimming pool. This place is definately geared toward the family, but would also be suitable for a bunch of couples. There is so much to see and do in Gettysburg, which is only about a 15 minute drive away. We carved out a day to see Washington D.C. which was only 1 hour and 40 minutes away (to the subway). Everything you need for a week of family fun is right here! Just pack your bags. You won't regret this one.

Great for Divers
Great for Divers
My husband + college age daughter just spent a long week-end in W. Palm scuba diving and LOVED staying at the Patio Island......it was CLEAN -CLEAN CLEAN !!! and for a "dive friendly" hotel, that is not always the case. The owner is friendly + informative on local attractions. The beach is a very easy walk. The bed was really comfy! The kitchen well appointed......it was just a great stay! And they allowed our dog to come on vacation also ! Good job, we will be back soon !

A Litte Taste of Paradise
A Litte Taste of Paradise
This is our 2nd visit to 'Paradise' & that is just what it is. Located on Singer Island, it is smack in the middle of all kinds of neat places to eat, shop, enjoy the beach & water sports. Allen, the owner and his staff members George & Jimmy make you feel not like travelers, but rather like visiting royalty. They are more than attentive to every request & make you feel like your happiness is the most important thing in the whole world to them. The cottages are adorable, decorated in 'Old Florida' style - and very tastefully I might add. They are also clean, clean, clean. If your vacation plans include a trip to Singer Island, Paradise is a must try!

Hotel Paradise & Cottages
Hotel Paradise & Cottages
This is an old-style Florida hotel and cottage complex. It reminded me of a place my family lived in for a short while when I was a small child in the 60's. We stayed in cottage #1 for a week. The inside was clean and in good shape. It is has a fully equipped kitchen. There is one common washer and dryer for the complex, and though it was always empty when we went to use it, there was usually someone right behind us to use it. The Tiki hut is a nice touch, and several residents would sit outside in the evenings and socialize. Everyone is very friendly, both the staff and those staying there at the time. Though the most direct route to the complex takes you along the edge of a not-so-desirable area of Riviera Beach, once you cross the bridge onto Singer Island the neighborhood is better with condos, resorts and nice neighborhoods just past the complex. I never felt unsafe in the complex or neighborhood. The complex had ample parking available when I was there. A public beach is only a few minute walk away--no need to take your car unless you are lugging a lot of beach equipment. Though there minimal nicer or even chain restaurants within walking distance, driving north on Singer Island or on US 1 will get you to several within about 5-10 minutes. There are several small eateries in the immediate area, as well as a marina restaurant. The owners/managers are onsite and were very friendly, always asking if we needed anything when they saw us. This is not a high-class resort complex, but it is a well-run, well-kept economical facility that is worth the stay if you are on a budget, and based on that standard deserves 5 stars compared to comparable facilities.

Third stay, and still a charm!
Third stay, and still a charm!
True to it's name it is a piece of " Paradise". I have made this the only place for my friends and I to stay when we visit Singer Island for SCUBA diving (the Blue Heron Bridge which is two blocks away, is in the top ten of dive spots in the USA). I have stayed here three times in the last few months and will return again, and again. The rooms are spotless, decorated in a Florida island theme, and very comphy beds. The whole property is very well maintained with a large tiki hut in the courtyard where everyone gathers to share there stories of the days activities. The property also has grills to cook your seafood catch of the day too. There are many great restaurants, bars, stores, and the beach within walking distance of the hotel. Allan the owner is very accomadating to your individual needs, just a phone call away when you need him if he is off property. He has always been helpful with recommendations of local activities happening in the area. I highly recommend this resort to everyone (as long as you leave a room for me)!

was awesome!! relaxing!! hospitable!! the owner Alan was just super fantastic and really went out of his way several times in our 2 week stay to make all us feel welcomed. thank you so very much for that. i should mention that the crowd was a bit older and very quiet. which was okay with us. love + miss the tiki hut and bbqs!! its a little shady gettin to Singer Island + Riveria beach as the are just before is a little suspect, but the Cottages themselves were pleasant, clean and everything you could ask for in a get away spot. its very close to an awesome, quiet +clean family beach. I've seen many beaches, and Riveria beach was NICE!! theres a great walkin trail over to the inlet, make sure to ask Alan about it if that your thing. and the marina is worth checking out. also, right up the way is John MaCarthur (i think) park which was beautiful. the sushi place + Johnny Long Boats both served fantastic food. at reasonable prices. and the West Palm Beach Kennel Club's poker room is about 10 miles away if thats your thing. if your lookin for an awesome, affordable + relaxing get-a-way ...look no further.

Comfortable, Clean and Affordable Budget Vacation.Guest comment entered by owner
Comfortable, Clean and Affordable Budget Vacation.
My daughter (a college senior) and I wanted to spend a week at the beach without spending alot of money. Patio Island Resort fit the bill. We stayed in a Studio cottage with queen bed and sofa sleeper and large screen TV. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare simple meals and there are gas grills in the courtyard. There is a very pleasant tiki hut with lots of seating to enjoy coffee in the early morning, eat outdoors or mingle with other guests in the evening. Most guests in the other cottages were there for 2 or 3 months during the winter and all were very friendly. Allan, the proprieter, was always available for anything we needed and offered lots of info about things to do, places to eat, etc. We did not have a car but that was no problem as everything we needed, a small grocery, beaches, the marina and lakeside park and restaurants were all within walking distance. It wasn't fancy but it had all we needed for a relaxing time. We enjoyed our week there and would return anytime. In fact, I have recommended it as a great place for my parents to spend the winter months.

Gorgeous & Historical Lakeshore Estate is Perfect Mix of Relaxation, Activity for Every Age
Gorgeous & Historical Lakeshore Estate is Perfect Mix of Relaxation, Activity for Every Age
Without a doubt one of the most enjoyable, unique and memorable places our extended family has ever stayed. There were enough activities to keep us all busy throughout the day, while there were also ample areas in which to relax in quiet. The town of Bigfork was easily accessible by car, yet not so close to impact our feeling of "getting away from it all". It was the perfect balance of comfort and nature, and the daily activities could be molded to fit any age–from my 15-month-old daughter to my 86-year-old grandmother: Morning walks around the property; peaceful mid-morning kayak rides; lazy lunches on the dock; afternoon crafts on the lawn; delicious dinners in the lodge; post-dinner kickball games on the field; and lively card games into the wee hours. The amazing on-site caretakers knew the property well, beautifully maintained everything inside and out, respected the privacy of all the guests, but were still readily available when we needed things. The owner was great in getting our trip planned, professional and trustworthy in all financial dealings, and flexible as to our large group's needs. Will definitely plan a future weeklong stay there for a future family reunion. A+ in every regard!

...The most relaxing wonderful time
Dear Jim, We just received a beautiful album of our time spent at Sentinel Pine last summer with a group of our friends. It has prompted us to thank you for the most relaxing wonderful time we have had in many years. First, Sentinel Pine is like heaven on earth, the accommodations so very comfortable, the natural setting and the layout of the grounds afforded everyone privacy while at the same time a sense of community if we wanted it. The lodge brought us back to days of summer camp yet there was no summer camp I ever attended as elegant and rustic all at the same time! There was nothing we needed that you and Robert and Carol hadn’t anticipated. We stayed at Point House which by far is so luxurious. The many trails encouraged us to keep up our exercise routine with daily walks and slow jogging. The fresh air and the adventurous surrounding made us feel healthy. With all sorts of activities right at the site you could spend the entire vacation right here. Sentinel Pine is a rare treasure that you’ll want to come back every summer. If you are looking for the “Taste of Montana” Jim has a list of his favorite restaurants. We tried them all and pass his recommendations on to future guest. These are a few of my wife’s favorite things: Morning coffee out on the patio, with view of lake and morning mist and mountains--like Heaven on earth, the nightly show of stars that you could reach out and touch, the deer roaming freely, playing ball at "The Fenway Ball Park", & just plain ole lounging around Trips to Glacier National Park! As a retired colonel in the Army, staying at Sentinel Pine with my wife and friends this past summer was one of the best rest and relaxation we have yet experienced. From the moment we landed in nearby Kalispell Airport, our vacation was beyond our expectations. Thank you for sharing it with us.

All 20 of us had a wonderful vacation
Jim, let me thank you again for the use of your place on Swan Lake. All 20 of us, from young to old, had a wonderful vacation. You really have a little piece of heaven there. Sentinel Pine is both beautiful and relaxing. If you recall it was a bit chilly in the mornings that week and so we began each day drinking our coffee in front of the fire in the main lodge as we planned the day’s events. Most of us came from the record breaking heat wave on the east coast so it was a wonderful way to start our day. Each day though it soon warmed up and we loved spending our afternoons hanging out on the dock and boating on the lake. Some of us went horseback riding, others drove up to Glacier, or did a bit of fly fishing and hiking while others simply curled up with a good book and took in the great vistas. Of course tubing down the river was a thrill we won’t soon forget. I also have to say I loved the kitchen in the lodge. With food from the nearby grocery stores you had everything else we needed to easily put together good meals for our gang. The accommodations were more than comfortable and having multiple homes gave every family the space they needed. The highlight of our week was the family baseball game on your ball field where “The Jacks” bested “The Joes” by 4 runs. Please give my best to Robert and Carol. They had the place in pristine condition when we arrived and took care of our every need. They couldn’t have been more hospitable. Thanks again – we truly love Sentinel Pine.

An exceptional vacation experience...
I rented The Sentinel Pine this summer with several friends as a group of 16. It was an exceptional vacation experience, wonderful in so many ways, and I would give it a “10” on a 1-to-10 scale for sure, and recommend it to anyone! The houses and cabins were everything featured in the website—and more, by a lot. The beds were new and immensely comfortable. We swam just about every day—cold but invigorating and fun! The dining room and cocktail area were stunning with their views, and the kitchen could have easily handled a group much larger than ours. The caretaker Robert and his wife Carol were there to help in every way, always with a big Montana smile. Financially, an incredible deal when we look at everything we got. This is a one-of-a-kind place in an amazing location. My only regret is that my wife of 45 years, who passed away a year ago, couldn’t enjoy this incredible place with me.

I give this my absolute highest recommendation!
My family and friends rented The Sentinel Pine in August 2011 and we had the best vacation experience possible. Simply stated, this is a very beautiful and incredible property. The location was easy to get to being directly on Swan Lake and just 15 minutes from downtown Bigfork. The grounds at Sentinel Pine were awesome because there was something for everyone to do. Myself and my 7 year old stepson took advantage of many of the amenities available including the tennis courts, baseball equipment, fishing, kayaking, swimming and boating, and our favorite, diving off the 6 foot diving board into beautiful Swan Lake. On the property there are plenty of open areas to peacefully relax, play some Frisbee, or have a game of croquet. The accommodations were great as they were typical Montana and blended in perfectly with the property. I had a beautiful view of the rolling lawn and the water just outside my bedroom window in the Sentinel House. The Main Lodge was awesome as well. It is tastefully decorated and is a great gathering place for meals, chatting on the large front porch, or for some evening cocktails. The owner, Jim, had left a great informational package for all the guests with suggestions on the surrounding areas activities as well as his personal reviews of many local restaurants. I took his recommendations and visited some local establishments and I was never disappointed. Someday I hope to return to the Sentinel Pine for another visit. I would give this my absolute highest recommendation--what a great time we all had!

I highly recommend Sentinel Pine Estate
Our group of 7 couples had a wonderful time at Sentinel Pine Estates in August 2011 and wished we could have stayed longer. We loved the setting, the deer roaming around, the dock, the kayaks, the canoe...everything was lovely. The location is perfect; close enough to Bigfork (a couple people rode their bikes into town) but with a feeling of seclusion. The large kitchen and pantry were great for our group and we had most of our meals there. We all enjoyed the piano and the porch, especially in the evening. Robert graciously gave us a boat ride and helped with parking the RVs and getting supplies to the houses. We also appreciated the history and photos in the lodge and the Point House. Your home, the Point House, is very comfortable and we spent lots of time on the terrace watching the skiers and boaters. I highly recommend Sentinel Pine Estate for families and groups of good friends. There is enough space for privacy, yet you are all together.

Our Experience Was Absolutely Wonderful
Our experience at Sentinel Pine was absolutely wonderful. The property provided all the activities we wanted, such as tennis, basketball, baseball, volleyball, swimming, and just about anything anyone could have wanted including rest and relaxation. While the website sold us on the facility, the reality is Sentinel Pine was absolutely perfect for a group such as we were with varying tastes and requirements. The dining room was first class, yet casual and comfortable. We thought the views of the lake and mountains made our food tastier and our meals and conversations longer and more relaxing. The dock area was perfect for all our needs. Kayaking and canoeing on this smooth lake was a pleasure. The dock area was perfect for swimmers, sunbathers, and for those who us who preferred shade. As a night-time bonus, we all thought the dock was an ideal spot to view the beautiful Montana sky, complete with shooting stars and occasional orbiting satellites. Absolutely awesome! Of course the area outside of the property was very interesting and lots of fun too. We visited Bigfork, Whitefish, Kalispell, and, of course, the spectacular Glacier National Park We were delighted with your recommended dining guide and points of interest. Your spending so much time with us before the trip (hours) planning our activities took all the guesswork out of exploration and made it easy to personalize our daily itineraries. The property caretakers Robert and Carol were friendly, helpful, and available for any questions or assistance. Regarding the cost of our trip: we all agreed that the cost for staying at Sentinel Pine was well worth its price and is an experience we would repeat without hesitation as it totally exceeded our already high expectations. Thanks for the opportunity to share such a beautiful place in the world with us.

Hellenvilliers Vacation Rentals Show this location only Back to top
- 7BR/4.5+BA – Sleeps 0-17 – Hellenvilliers #667358a
Overview of Hellenvilliers Vacation Rentals
Hellenvilliers Vacation Rentals: Refusing Distance
Settled in the northern curl of Normandy, within the Eure region, is Hellenvilliers. This tiny hamlet may seem unassuming to passing travelers. Its population swells to a meager 800, and its borders are flooded to fields. It's a picturesque community that seems to lack any true tourist appeal. Instead, however, it offers a closeness to countless towns and attractions; marking it the ideal destination for any family. It's near everything you need. Allow Hellenvilliers vacation rentals to charm and the village itself to satisfy. Miles can now be conquered.
Hellenvilliers Accommodation: Always Simple
Sharing crowded city streets and tiny hotels is not what you deserve. But you fret that all your adventures wait within France's upper-regions; where strangers will follow your every attempt to learn. But Normandy travel does not have to be a tedium. It can, instead, be serene. Let Hellenvilliers keep you from the tourist soaked cities. Grant your family languid mornings and country beauty. A short journey will provide all the thrills, but the distance will be enough to calm. It's easy.
Normandy Travel: Diversity
From your Hellenvilliers accommodation, travel mere miles and find an abundance of culture. Drive to impressive La Havre, where you will be met with cliff-side views and massive cathedrals; such as the Church of St. Joseph, which features one of the tallest bell-towers in the country. Hurry then to nearby Rouen. This capital city features countless museums and artistic structures, like the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, which has an unrivaled collection of Monet paintings. You'll be surrounded with design. And then wander to Mont-Saint-Aignan where scholars scrutinize the architecture. Seek the past with ancient chapels, libraries and homes. Each will amaze and each is close.
Hellenvilliers Vacation Rentals: Escape
Never again force yourself to the chaos of crowds. Instead grant yourself (and your family) the chance to revel in the separation Hellenvilliers will bring. Let the horizons blur a little and find the quiet you need. You can have your fun and then retreat. It's the perfect vacation.

The Hobbit Stays in New Zealand
After an extended labor dispute, lots of heated words, two days of talks, and some sweeteners from the government, Peter Jackson’s two-film production of The Hobbit will stay in New Zealand. To keep the film in the country, government officials agreed to introduce legislation to ensure the labor problems won’t flare up again, offset $10 million of Warner Bros.' marketing costs, and give a tax rebate of up to $7.5 million per film. Now that that's settled, we return to our regularly scheduled "not hearing very much about New Zealand" programming block. [NYT]

It is obvious to anyone holding a mobile device in one hand and the Web in another that the potential in making one available to the other (and vice-versa) can barely be imagined. However, it will also be clear to anyone with any mobile device and subscription that that promise is one that has yet to be fulfilled. This paper briefly touches on a number of issues that I believe to be currently standing in the way of fuller cross-pollination between the Web and mobile technologies.
About Expway:Expway is a company with an initial background in Audio/Video metadata. Over the years it has applied its experience gained there to other fields, the most relevant to this workshop being binary XML and EPG/ESG (Electronic Program/Service Guide) applications. Expway participates actively to the XBC, SVG, and CDF (when it'll be there) WGs, as well as in various industry fora such as MPEG, DVB, TV-Anytime, and 3GPP.
As a content and service provider our experience has been mostly in the development of programs to access Electronic Guides and various types of audio/video metadata. In doing so we have found that the hardest part of such projects was the creation of user interfaces that were at once appealing, usable, portable, and supportive of the required functionality, as well as well integrated (or at least integratable) into the surrounding information ecosystem (which for us is heavily based on XML and Web technologies).
Problems pertaining to usability are mostly independent from the technologies being used, though scalable formats do help to a degree in adapting UIs to the variety of screen size ratios. Generally they boil down to the ways in which one may expose the desired functionality within the bounds of a small screen, and be friendly to users that for the most part do not have pointer devices. The experience that was gathered over the years in designing UIs for fixed devices has not yet found its equivalent for the mobile world. It could be that the acquisition of such experience may be sped up if the industry were to work together on the creation of best practices documents.
Regarding the ability to create appealing and portable UIs that integrate well with XML and Web technologies, after having reviewed a number of options our current preferred solution is SVG Tiny, and the arrival of APIs such as JSR-226 to integrate it further into the devices' OS strengthens that choice. That being said, we regularly need to emulate functionality that would be readily available using XHTML or a small subset of XForms. As such, we would be much enthused to see the arrival of a standard combination of at least these three. This would however require some work, notably on the XForms side since its "Basic" profile is already hard to implement on mobile devices, not to mention it being combined with other vocabularies.
The Use Cases for the Web on mobile devices cover almost the entirety of those that apply to fixed devices — with the possible exception of the more complex uses — and add to those needs specific to mobility. A prime example of such needs is location-based services: one is rarely lost in a city looking for a friendly bar while carrying one's desktop computer, but in such situations one is likely to be carrying a mobile phone. Location-based services are currently heavily underused despite the fact that they could easily provide a killer-app for mobile users. It may be that what is missing in this area is a standard way of integrating location information into existing Web technologies.
Similarly, despite their limited textual input abilities mobile devices could constitute very powerful data gathering apparels. Voice notes, pictures, location information — a wealth of new applications could be built atop these capacities that are not as readily available to, or useful on, fixed devices.
The two most frequently cited differences are screen size and input methods, and while these certainly influence the user's experience they may not be the most useful aspects to look at. In fact, considering these limitations first is part of the problem more than the solution: altogether too often we look at mobile devices as "limited" or "constrained" devices when it might be far more productive to look at them from a different angle. Indeed, in many ways they present solid advantages over their Personal Computer ancestors. You can keep them around at all times, take pictures with them, talk into them in ways that are far less frustrating than desktop or laptop computers. There is evident value in making what is available to fixed devices present on mobiles as well, but this shouldn't come to the detriment of putting those devices' specific advantages to use, something we feel is altogether too often a limitation of many vendors' approaches.
Another major difference that is rarely touched on is that the vast majority of connected mobile devices are currently heavily phone-orientated, which is a starting-point very different from that of other end-user computers. Two things can be done about this fact. One is to try to eliminate it, effectively creating a type of PDA that you happen to be able to plug a headset into. This alleviates the design constraints on the device and is a path that is being attempted by some constructors. Another is to use it as an advantage in order to develop new voice-based interfaces. It is surprising that little has been done based on this latter approach, despite the fact that the mobile user's experience is often primarily vocal.
Overall, the different experience that is the mobile one is only a problem if we attempt to constrain it (eg to a phone with some extras) or work against its specificities (eg by trying to get concepts from a desktop OS onto it).
Despite recent improvements, the "Desktop Web" experience can barely be called seamless, uncomplicated, and reliable. When it is, it happens thanks to massive amounts of heuristics and processing power thrown at the problem of broken content, a strategy not readily portable to devices with less processing power.
Making the "Mobile Web" experience seamless, uncomplicated, and reliable would require content producers to provide content that is more standards-based so that more of the devices' power could be used for rich UIs and interesting applications. This of course brings about the problem that existing Web content producers will not take mobile users into account before a given critical mass is reached, while at the same time that critical mass will not happen while the content remains as dreadfully insufficient as it is today in most countries. This leads us directly into the next question..
There are two possible kinds of fragmentation: content-based fragmentation, and technological fragmentation. The former happens when a given kind of content is more or solely appropriate for a given use, and is by and large not a problem: one does not expect Chinese content to be read by non-sinophones, equally one does not expect a desktop to want to scan bar-codes in a supermarket to know if the same product is cheaper elsewhere. Technological fragmentation on the other hand is a more serious problem, part of a larger set of axes:
There is no ideal solution to the above set of tensions, but there may be a way to partition the problem-space so as to provide technological continuity over the gradient of device capacities and uses in such a way as to favour the development of the Web as the all-encompassing platform that it should be.
First, stop "down-profiling" technologies. It may be just a naming issue, but names reflect intent. One shouldn't have "Foo" and "Foo Basic", "Foo Tiny", or "Foo Lite". If the core technology doesn't work on mobile devices, then it's bloated. This doesn't mean that all the complex and, ultimately, fun and innovative features found in such languages as SVG or XForms must be eliminated. They correspond to the needs of real users that shouldn't be excluded. But the norm, or at least the baseline, for these technologies should be what is available to the greater number. Currently, content creators are asked to downgrade their content to be available to all, when the brunt of extra work and complexity should be carried by those that have advanced needs — especially so as they are the users with the best ability to develop or install more advanced software. For the current spectrum of W3C technologies we would thus have on one hand "Foo Core" technologies, able not only to be implemented and used on mobile devices but that in unison with other "Core" technologies, and on the other hand a variety of "Foo Advanced" technologies that would build atop the core ones. There would indeed be fragmentation at the advanced side, but it would be situated where people are able and motivated to deal with it.
This could lead us to a gradient of technological levels. I do not mean to imply that the gradient below is the best or only option, but it has a general shape that appears to be practical to me in resolving the tensions between the various axes along which technology can be specified. Implementation details are left as an exercise to the Web community at large.
The Web community has recently been through fits of tension between various W3C working groups, between the latter and initiatives such as the WHAT WG, or in debates that surrounded the creation of the CDF and WebApp WG/Activity. In hindsight it appears that the blame for these commonly unconstructive behaviours is distributed amongst players — equally or not is not the question. One thing that we can learn from these tensions is that none of the entrenched positions will convince any of the others, and that by sticking to them we are only adding further fragmentation and delaying a viable Web encompassing more than one class of devices. This outline is an imperfect attempt at burying the hatchet and inviting discussion towards reaching a middle ground acceptable to all parties.
It is a simple fact that the vast majority of content creators work based on implementations and not on specifications — likewise tool-makers, who are only indirect content creators. Content compliance therefore stems directly from implementation conformance.
It has been mentioned on several occasions that conformance certification would be a way to make user-agents more standards-compliant, at least on mobile devices. This is an avenue of thought that needs to be re-explored in the light of a new situation that is different from that that existed when the W3C was created. It may be that today's user-agent makers are not as reticent to certification as the tagsoup eaters of olde were. Certification, of course, requires fairly heavy resources if only in the creation of complete and coherent test suites, and would pose problems in terms of possibly excluding Open Source implementations, of who gets to validate test suites, or faced with inconsistencies in specifications who gets to decide how they are resolved. If sufficient interest can be demonstrated, it would be desirable for the W3C to make a decision as to how certification of compliance to Web technologies can be carried out, whether within its bounds (and perhaps only for technologies for which there is consensus to do so) or in a separate organisation that would nevertheless need to have very strong links to the Consortium.
Testing as a whole will simply never go away, but by enforcing stronger conformance — possibly through certification — it could be alleviated. The current W3C process is insufficiently strict on testing and in fact Working Group resources tend to suddenly thin as test production starts to loom on the horizon. If certification is eventually not retained as an option, the process needs to be strengthened to enforce the production of tests in a far more stringent fashion.
Discoverability on the Web currently happens through search engines, which are very biased towards textual content: audio, video, multimedia content in general, and services are poorly discoverable. Such problems are not exclusive to the Web however. For instance, the television industry, faced with a sharp increase in the number of available channels — and, hopefully, services — have needed to create technology in order to provide electronic guides to users.
It would be strongly desirable for the Web community to coordinate with other players that have encountered this problem already in order to converge towards a common solution. Current standards such as TV-Anytime provide first building bricks that could be further Webized (TVA is already XML based, which helps) in order to integrate them with Web technologies such as RDF and enable the production of such metadata in a distributed manner.
In terms of higher-level technology, a lot of what is needed is already present, but needs to be far more integrated, as well as trimmed down in some cases. As such, the work being started in the CDF WG is encouraging but needs to be maintained under pressure in order to produce results in a timely manner. Also, it would desirable for it to be more ambitious in practice than its charter indicates and for it to pay special attention to satisfying both "evolutionary" and "revolutionary" requirements.
In terms of data and interfaces there is a need for more than what is currently available. Common access to location information, and common ways in which mobile applications can manipulate Web content are required. Convergence of electronic guides technology with what has been developed for AV content is strongly desirable.
Finally, at the infrastructural level it is likely that the volume and complexity of information will require a common standard for binary XML, as currently being investigated by the XBC WG.
In theory, there is no such thing as the Mobile Web. Any notion of a "Foo-specific Web" is dubious at best, and very likely an oxymoron in the end. The Web is meant to be fully inclusive, and being specialized to any device class, industry, country, language, or usage is antithetic to its very essence.
That having been said, the following propositions need to be considered:
In his thought-provoking essay Is There An Artificial God? Douglas Adams makes a good case for using such fictions as dragons or money, irrespective of whether we believe in their existence or not, to better understand and manipulate the world in which we live. And indeed, the Mobile Web may be a useful fictitious entity to believe in for a while. This is the approach that I have chosen to follow throughout this paper, in order to take a closer look at specific advantages and disadvantages of mobile devices. It doesn't provide a conceptual architecture — which should be no different from that of the simple, unadulterated World Wide Web — but hopefully contributes a little to the definition of both the problem and its possible solutions.

The Web Compatibility Test for Mobile Browsers combines in a single page a number of Web technologies that we believe are the foundation for a better Web experience, especially on mobile devices.
Using a very visual scheme of a set of squares whose color depend on the proper implementation of a given technology, it helps assess at a glance where a given browser might be lacking to support this improved Web experience.
The test is available at:
You can also check how the test has evolved through the CVS module view.
The squares are roughly sorted by order of difficulty: the first row tests "baseline" technologies, the second row corresponds to technologies that are already widely used today, and the third row tests for support of technologies that we believe will be important in the near future.
The following technologies are tested as of today:
Fluid page widths, defined in percent of the screen width, often depend on the
min-width and
max-width properties to avoid turning unreadable on small screens. The former property is tested here.
min-width)
PNG, a bitmap image format, supports transparency and alpha channels, that are useful in building appealing visual effects
The HTTP protocol allows data to be sent gzip-compressed when the client advertises its capability to uncompress them (through the
Accept-Encoding header), thus saving bandwidth.
HTTPS
The
HTTPS protocol is used to establish secure and encrypted connections on the Web.
Tests if the UA supports HTTP cookies (through Javascript).
iframeinclusing of XHTML-served-as-XML content
Tests if the UA supports XML content-types by loading an XHTML document with the content-type
application/xhtml+xml.
XMLHTTPRequest
XMLHTTPRequest is at the core of AJAX, allowing to update a subset of an HTML page without requesting a new full content transfer
SVG allows authors to define vector-based graphics, that can be scaled up and down, fitting well the needs of mobile devices. Serving it gzip-ed allows to reduce the data sent through the network.
CSS Media Queries allow authors to constrain CSS rules to specific contexts, for instance so that they only apply to screens of a given maximum width. The
min-width feature is tested here.
This test checks support for loading and applying one of the popular JavaScript framework - in this case, JQuery. These frameworks are an increasingly important part of the Web experience.
SVG also supports animations, that can be used to create appealing interfaces
IRI (Internationalized Resource Identifiers) allows to write Web addresses with any character of any language and script in the world; IDNs (Internationalized Domain Names) ensures that the DNS resolution works also on non-ASCII domain names.
The Document Object Model allows Web developers to trigger and notice browser-based events (e.g. a mouse click); Mutation events are triggered when a piece of a Web page is modified (e.g. by a script); they are particularly interesting on devices with small screens, where the user might not notice that a change occurred in a non-visible part of the page.
canvaselement
The
canvas element defined in HTML5 offers a Javascript graphics API
contenteditable
The
contenteditable attribute makes rich text editing of any element possible. Support for this attribute is tested.
CSS3 introduces a number of new selectors, allowing more fine-grained styling, leading to better layouts. The
nth-child() selector is tested here.

Ronnie and Rhonda Bryan watched from inside their West Monroe, LA, home as authorities flooded their yard and arrested a man suspected of killing his ex-wife and sparking an 11-hour search for their 4-year-old boy.
Parked on their private, dead-end drive sat James Calvert, 41, who was wanted in Tyler on a capital murder charge for the killing of Jelena Radovanovic Sriraman, 30, and suspected of kidnapping his 4-year-old son, Lucas Calvert.
"They had their guns drawn and were telling that man to get out of the car, and he doesn't get out of the car," Rhonda said.
Authorities say Calvert shot and killed Sriraman on Wednesday afternoon in Tyler before taking off with their son. West Monroe Police said he led them on a short chase before officers barricaded him in on Tyler Drive in West Monroe, LA.
"It was just eerie that it started in Tyler and ended on Tyler [Drive]," Rhonda said.
During the arrest, West Monroe Police said Calvert sat silently in his car.
"[He] just sat there with his hands on the steering wheel, so they ended up having to break the window and getting him out of the car and handcuffing him," said West Monroe Police Major. Jeff Terrell.
"Four minutes later I see a little boy, and that surprised me, and I heard the policeman say, 'Buddy, you okay? You doing alright?' You know, they left him in the backseat of the car while all this was going on, while they were getting his dad out. The little boy was just calm, he didn't cry or anything," Rhonda said.
Police transported Calvert and his son to the West Monroe Police Department. Calvert was placed in a holding cell until booked into the Ouachita Parish Correctional Center.
Louisiana Child Protective Services took care of Lucas until he was reunited with his 5-year-old sister and stepfather Thursday evening.
"The children had been asking for him. They knew what happened to their mother; they were very distraught. Everyone thought it was in those children's best interest to be reunited with the stepfather who loves them and has been caring for them as a father figure," said Shari Pulliam, the Child Protective Services Media Specialist.
There is a long road ahead for this family now left to pick up the pieces after Jelena's tragic death.
"We are going to work with the stepfather and make sure he has all the resources at his fingertips to make sure that these kids have the grief counseling they need to get through this tragic event," Pulliam said.
Meanwhile, capital murder suspect, James Calvert, sits in a Louisiana jail cell, after shaking up this quiet West Monroe neighborhood.
Louisiana officials believe he will be extradited at the first of next week.

On September 25, 2012, Lennard Lewis died at his home of a seizure disorder. On the surface it appeared to be of natural causes. That is until East Baton Rouge Coroner William Clark, M.D. began looking around for the reason Lewis had the seizure disorder.
The Coroner traced down Lewis's medical records and discovered that he had been shot in the head 20 years ago.
"Mr. Lewis had a seizure disorder," says Clark. "His ultimate cause of death was related to a terminal seizure event. Subsequently from that it was determined that the reason Mr. Lewis developed seizures was secondary to being shot in the head in 1992. We determined that the manner of death in this case would be a homicide."
Dr. Clark then turned over his findings to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's department. "We are looking into the 1992 incident," says Sheriff's spokesperson Casey Hicks. "We are trying to figure out who was the lead agency on that shooting."
State law allows for murder prosecutions to stay open indefinitely, meaning who ever shot Lewis in 1992 could be prosecuted for his murder. It is very rare, according to the District Attorney's office, to successfully prosecute a case this old.
The Coroner is convinced the shooter is responsible for Lewis's death. "The combination that resulted in his death was directly related to there being still a bullet in his brain that caused him to have seizures," says Clark.
Officials say no arrests were made in the 1992 shooting because Lewis had no memory of who shot him.

By Marisa Ramiccio
You told yourself you'd have just one bite. But that one bite turned into a whole slice ... and then that one slice turned into two slices. Some foods are just that addicting. But, chances are, the foods that you're addicted to aren't that good for you. Why is that? And what are these ridiculously addictive foods that are so bad for you?
Potato Chips
Famous potato chip slogans that taunt a consumer's inability to eat just one chip are quite common. If you've ever tried eating just one potato chip, you've probably found that it's pretty close to impossible. So what makes potato chips so addicting? The salt. Salt triggers the pleasure center of your brain, and that makes it difficult for you to stop eating. Unfortunately, if you consume too much salt, it throws your body into a tailspin. Usually, excess salt is secreted through your urine but if your kidneys can't process it fast enough, the excess will be stored in your cells. This can lead to problems like water retention, potassium deficiency and high blood pressure.

French Fries
This other type of tasty tuber is also hard to resist. But when it comes to french fries, it's the combination of salt and hot potato that makes them tough to put down. Whether they're baked or deep fried, that hot and fluffy potato contains carbohydrates, which has an effect on the brain's pleasure center similar to that of cocaine. Fry that potato in oil, coat it in salt and you have an unhealthy, albeit tasty, side dish.
Refined Flour
You've just sat down to dinner at a nice restaurant and the server brings a complimentary basket of freshly baked bread and butter to the table. You push the basket aside as your will power tells you to just wait until the meal comes. But as the minutes tick by, your stomach tells you to go ahead and have a slice of bread – after all, it will just go to waste if you don't eat it. But before you know it, half of the bread in the basket is gone.
If refined flour products weren't so addictive and regularly eaten, there wouldn't be a problem. As mentioned, carbs have a drug-like effect on the brain. They produce a natural high by causing the body to release dopamine, a neurotransmitter that's responsible for the regulation of the pleasure center in the brain. Foods like pasta and white rice can have a similar effect. Your best bet is to go with whole grain varieties of these products.
Chocolate
Many chocolate lovers call themselves chocoholics, and for good reason: Chocolate is ridiculously addictive. But it's not so much the taste or texture that has chocolate lovers going cuckoo for cocoa; it's the fact that it affects the same brain cell receptors as heroin. Researchers at the University of Michigan found that chocolate lovers lost their craving for chocolate when given an injection of naloxone, a drug that is used to treat those who have overdosed on heroin.
Ice Cream
If you've ever sat down with a pint of Rocky road without eating it all in one sitting, you deserve a pat on the back. Sugar has a similar effect as salt, and when either of those are paired with fat, you're left with one heck of an addictive food. One of the best examples of that is ice cream, which of course contains both sugar and fat. Pies, cakes and other pastries are all just as bad.
Related: 5 Simple Ways To Overcome Food Addiction
Cheese
Cheese pizza, cheese fries, cheese nachos and cheeseburgers are just a few of the cheesy foods that people like to indulge in. The reason? Caesin. It's a substance found in cheese that has been shown to produce opiate-like effects in the brain. Cheese also contains milk, which has been shown to contain trace amounts of morphine. Researchers say that this is to help a child bond to its mother, but it also helps your brain bond to cheese.
Soda
You may be thinking of kicking your soda habit, but if you do so, expect to deal with caffeine withdrawal. Symptoms include headaches, depression, insomnia and fatigue and they can begin up to 12 hours after your last sip of soda and last for up to a week. So if you're thinking of giving up your severe soda habit in order to lose a few pounds or cut back your sugar intake, be prepared for some of these symptoms. Of course, your caffeine addiction may not be limited to soda; coffee, tea and energy drinks all contain high amounts of caffeine as well.
Related: The Dangers Of A Junk Food Addiction
Bacon
Bacon isn't just a breakfast food anymore – it can be found on burgers, in ice cream, candy bars and salads to name a few. But why is everyone so obsessed with bacon? Meats in general tend to be addictive because they produce an opiate-like effect on the brain. In fact, researchers have found that opiate-blocking drugs can halt the effects of meat on the brain.
Cookies
Cookies are just like potato chips – you can't eat just one. That's because when sugar hits your tongue, it triggers the release of opiates in the brain. When sugar enters the bloodstream, it raises your blood sugar levels and your pancreas produces more insulin, which converts sugar to energy. This is what gives you that temporary sugar high, but it also sends you crashing down a short time later.
Doughnuts
Who can resist a hot, fresh doughnut? But they're so fluffy and full of air, you end up eating half of the box just to fill yourself up. The problem is doughnuts contain both sugar and fat, like ice cream, so they produce a one-two punch of addiction.
Studies show that certain foods – particularly foods that contain sugar, cheese or meat – contain substances that trigger the same receptors in the brain that are triggered by drugs. Once those receptors are triggered, you begin to crave more and more of that addictive food, and before you know it, you've consumed enough servings to feed your whole family.

DEPARTMENT OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY
CLINICAL: For fiscal year 2011, the Department of Otolaryngology had 3,737 cases, a .5% decrease from FY10. The number of visits decreased .4% at 24,448, with work RVUs at 86,893, a 1.28% decrease from 2010. Decreases were due to several physicians on medical leave, one for the full year, and two for several months. New clinical initiatives in the Department of Otolaryngology include an addition to the current Pediatric Otolaryngologists. adding Dr. Amy Whigham to serve pediatric needs. A new clinic is slated to open in Clemmons, and will serve general and pediatric patients. Dr. Drew Plonk, present resident, has been recruited to help open this facility. Dr. Eric Oliver, neuro-otologist, has been successfully recruited to both fill a growing demand in otology and related skull base tumors. In addition, he has become the leader of a new Vestibular Center initiative to coordinate a multi-disciplinary treatment approach for patients with vestibular issues.
Five clinical faculty were chosen for Best Doctors in America: Drs. J. Dale Browne, Christopher Sullivan, Brian Matthews, John May, and Neal Goldman. Dr. Catherine Rees Lintzenich is directing a new multi-disciplinary Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship Program to address multi-faceted care of patients.
ACADEMIC: For fiscal year 2012, The Department of Otolaryngology has 12 residents. In collaboration with the Department of Neurosurgery, plans are progressing for the development of an Endoscopic Skull Base Program to include the recruitment of an Endoscopic Head and Neck Surgeon. An outreach mission to provide otolaryngology care to the Dominican Republic is being developed in conjunction with Hanesbrands.
The Temporal Bone Lab allows residents to practice drilling techniques under guided instruction. Our restricted 6 station lab is being moved into a new, larger area with additional workstations and plans for both video equipment and updated drills and microscopes. Ultimately, this will allow all residents to work simultaneously with instructors, and will also allow continuing education courses to be taught to outside otolaryngologist.

Shannon --- Don't worry, you were by far the best caretaker we've ever had! Actually, my mom told me on the phone today that she wishes she'd sent you a Christmas card, you did such a good job.
The bananas were really just an experiment. I figured it was worth a shot to see if they were as hardy as the citrus, and since they're not I'll be glad to pass them on to folks who can use them better.
I was very glad to hear you got the four-wheeler out --- I was a bit concerned you might not be able to. It did thaw enough to unstick the golf cart today, which was a nice treat when coming back from mailing chicken waterers.
Thanks again for being such a great house-sitter!

Unlike OPM, (Other People's Money), which is a good thing, OPC, (Other People's Children) can be a pain, particularly when dining at a restaurant.
I can't count all the times when we have had a meal disrupted by unsupervised kids let loose by their parents. Inevitably, the parents continue their meal in serene ignorance of the ensuing chaos. Or at least they pretend not to notice.
I dedicate this picture, taken at a North Vancouver restaurant, to all those who understand why it is funny.

Securing the Walker Art Center for Future Generations
“I had a feeling of goodwill toward the people of Minneapolis particularly, and it was my desire to live here all my life and to do all possible toward the upbuilding of the prosperity of the community.” —Thomas Barlow Walker, founder of the Walker Art Center
In 1927, T. B. Walker founded the Walker Art Gallery with the gift of his extensive art collection. Many generous donors since have left their own legacies by making planned gifts to the Walker Art Center.
The Legacy Circle was established to honor those individuals who have remembered the Walker in their wills and financial plans. Since its founding in 1991, the Legacy Circle has received generous support from dedicated friends who have recognized the need to ensure access to the Walker for future generations by including the museum in their estate, creating a life income plan, or making one of a variety of other planned gifts.
Through their foresight and generosity, Legacy Circle members make a crucial difference in upholding a sound foundation for the future growth and vitality of the Walker Art Center.
Joining the Legacy Circle
You don’t need to be wealthy to leave a legacy, and there are many options for planned giving to the Walker. The following are examples of ways you may make a charitable donation through planned giving and become a member of the Legacy Circle:
- Include a gift to the Walker in your will or revocable trust. You may wish to leave the Walker a bequest for a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. Your gift could include cash, stock, bonds, or personal property. The Walker could also be named to receive the remainder of your estate or as a contingent beneficiary, if other beneficiaries do not survive you. Your estate receives a charitable deduction for your bequest to the Walker.
- Designate the Walker as a beneficiary in your retirement plan. Retirement plan assets may be subject to very high taxation rates at your death. Designating the Walker to receive retirement plan assets can provide an important gift at considerable tax savings.
- Name the Walker as a beneficiary or owner of an existing life insurance policy or purchase a new policy to benefit the Walker.
- Establish a life income trust that enables you to receive income for life while making a gift to the Walker. This type of planned gift allows you to obtain an income tax deduction, reduce your estate taxes, and protect your financial security during your lifetime.
- Assign tax-advantaged gifts of securities, property, or art to be made over time, during your lifetime.
- Designate a gift of art that the Walker has agreed to accept.
Celebrating the Vision of Legacy Circle Members
Planned gifts help support the Endowment Fund, which has long been the financial driver for the Walker’s budget and has allowed the institution to flourish artistically and become a model in the museum field. The principal of the Endowment Fund is invested to increase over time, and the Walker uses the income it generates to support general operations and innovative, multidisciplinary programming.
Your gift can also support the Walker’s general operation or be applied to particular programming or art acquisitions. New work and new scholarship are expensive to produce and support, but planned gifts from Legacy Circle members ensure that artistic excellence will continually be upheld at the Walker.
In addition to potential tax benefits, Legacy Circle members receive special benefits that include:
• Exclusive invitations to Walker events and programs, including events with the executive director and curators
• Recognition on the Walker’s donor panel (if desired), and
• Recognition in the Annual Report and in other Walker publications (if desired).
We encourage you to join the Legacy Circle and help sustain the financial foundation of the Walker Art Center for generations to come. Rob Sherer, Director of the Annual Fund, would be pleased to answer any questions you may have regarding planned gifts to the Walker and Legacy Circle membership. For more information, call 612.375.7562 or e-mail [email protected].

Adirondack Park Agency Delays Logging Rules.
Adirondack Council Spokesman John Sheehan notes that a regular permit requires public input and a vote of the agency’s commissioners. That would not be required with the proposed General Permit.
Empire State Forest Products Association President and CEO Eric Carlson says what’s being referred to as clearcutting is a misnomer, and the new permitting process has been needed in the Adirondacks for some time.
Adirondack Park Agency Spokesman Keith McKeever says the Agency has never taken consideration of the General Permit off the board.
McKeever says the APA is still accepting public comments and plans to meet with stakeholders within the next two weeks.

Viceroy Maldives
A true haven for the discerning adventurer, Viceroy Maldives provides innovative levels of seclusion and luxury, set within a spectacular locale.
The resort leaves no detail unanswered, with Viceroy's unparalleled service complimenting perfectly designed elemental interiors and carefully crafted lounge areas.
Five dining venues, including the alluring Middle Eastern-inspired décor of the central Treehouse, offer everything from casual beachside meals to intimate fine dining experiences with a wine cellar and a private chef's table.
This stunning resort is awash with the colourful palette of nature; turquoise waters meet the deep blue sky, twinkling purple and orange as the sun sets and the island lights up.
The Viceroy Maldives is a glistening gem in the middle of the Indian Ocean; suspended luxury living under a Maldivian sky awaits.
Essential Information
Highlights
Beach Villa with Pool
Cloistered on the water's edge, the Beach Villas offer generous living spaces surrounded by a lush screen of greenery. Past the shower and the tub in the bedroom's spacious en-suite bathroom, you’ll discover a door that opens out to the villa's private garden. The intimate garden area holds an outdoor shower and oversized private pool on the sundeck, leading directly onto the soft sand of the beach or up to the open spaces of the living area.
Deluxe Beach Villa
Nestled between lush gardens and the soft sand of the island's edge lie the Deluxe Beach Villas, with private pools and incredible views beyond the windows of the soaring interiors. Each of these Deluxe Beach Villas have floor-to-ceiling windows, ceilings that rise above the master bedroom, spacious living rooms and en-suite bathrooms with their own outdoor showers nestled in private gardens for freshening up. The villa has a second floor loft, where the daybed provides additional space for lounging or just soaking in the panoramic views. A second bedroom with two twin beds and an attached bathroom, makes this villa ideal if you want to bring the whole family along or just if you want some extra space to spread out in and relax.
Water Villa
Live suspended over the lagoon in a spacious Water Villa, each one positioned a considerable distance away from neighbours. Overlooking the soothing lagoon views, the villas are expansive and full of light while retaining an intimate feel. From the tiered deck, choose to relax in the private pool or dive off into the lagoon’s seductive blue waters.
Deluxe Water Villa
Perched atop the lagoon, enjoy the bright spaciousness and privacy of the Deluxe Water Villas. From the deck, dip into the private pool or just relax, savouring the sweeping views. The generous spaces in the two-storey Deluxe Water Villas allow for personalised living, and feature a second-floor loft with convertible furnishings that provide a relaxing spot on a lazy afternoon to enjoy the beauty of the sun setting into the Indian Ocean.
Royal Villa
The largest of its kind, the Royal Villa combines absolute privacy with ultimate space and amenities. The generous living room overlooks the lagoon through floor-to-ceiling windows, and the split-level deck holds a 60sqm into the lagoon or the private plunge Jacuzzi off their individual decks, each furnished with sun loungers and an outdoor shower. Designed for unparalleled seclusion and luxury, the master suite is designed for privacy and savouring the views of the lagoon and Indian Ocean.
Vista
For dinner, flavours of the East and West are prepared and presented in a contemporary style, whilst preserving the authentic flavours of each origin. A culinary journey of enlightenment, no matter how well travelled you are.
Treehouse
The Treehouse lures you in with its exotic flavours of the Middle East and features a selection of hot or cold mezzes from the region.

So winter is around the corner, and I'm trying to bulk up, but every Tuesday I get together with some friends and we play football for some time, tonight it was 4 hours, sprinting for 4 hours burns alot of calories. What would be the best way to combat the calorie loss, what are some good calorie dense foods that I should eat after this much excercise. Tonight I made a shake with 3 tbps natty pb, 1 small container of yogurt, 1 banana, 3 scoops of whey. Comments/suggestions?
