Medicaid spending for home- and community-based care soars, report finds
Nursing home admins, DONs see salary bump in latest report
Nursing home spending expanded to $46.9 billion in 2007 from $42.7 billion in 2001, while HCBS spending rose to $16.7 billion from $9.2 billion during that period, the study said. The number of people receiving Medicaid coverage for services in licensed assisted living settings increased by 43.7% between 2002 and 2009, the study found. HCBS Medicaid waivers cover services in residential settings in 37 states, while 13 states provide coverage directly through state Medicaid plans. That marks a departure from the past when Medicaid paid only for nursing home care. Medicaid now pays for assisted living care for some 131,000 elderly adults nationwide.
Non-institutional options for long-term care typically cost less to states, are preferred by consumers, and have "created a shift in the supply and utilization of nursing homes over the past several years," according to the report. Between 2001 and 2008, the national supply of nursing homes declined by 1.6%.
The report, "State Medicaid Reimbursement Policies and Practices in Assisted Living," can be found online at www.ncal.org.

Best of … job interview accessories
Written by: Lindsay Shugerman
October 3, 2011
Filed Under Best of, Job Search
Contributed by Lindsay Shugerman, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru
Looking for a way to improve your odds at a job interview? The things you take with you to the interview could be more important than you realize.
That's right! The job interview accessories you select could make a difference between you and the other candidates. Here are our top picks for must-have goodies for your next job interview.
Executive binder
Keep everything organized and accessible
Leave the bulky brief cases and messy backpacks behind when you head off to an interview. You'll look and feel more organized with your critical papers in an understated leather binder. No more searching through a cluttered briefcase while an interviewer looks on. The binder a truly elegant way to carry a few extra copies of your resume, your references, any notes you have for interview questions, your business cards, a notepad and pen.
Sleek, thin access to documents and the Internet on the fly
For those times when an interview asks for a document you didn't bring, or you need to show off online content, an affordable tablet is the perfect job interview accessory.
Today's extra-thin, lightweight profiles won't weigh you down, and the up-to-the-minute styling will show your interviewer that you're on top of the latest in technology. Choose a simple case in titanium or leather for the most professional look.
One tip, though. If you bring tablet to your interview, make sure you know how to use it! Nothing's worse than watching a nervous interviewee struggle with technology!
A fine pen
In the age of styluses, the pen is not dead
Make sure the pen you take to your job interview says you care about quality. A standard plastic ball point pen might work for filling out forms, but it won't give you an edge over the next job applicant.
But a unique writing instrument like this Celtic pen from GaelSong is the right choice for any interview. Its elegant styling and fine detail are sure to catch the eye of managers, making you stand out from the crowd. That little edge could be the difference between an offer and a "thanks, but no thanks."
Business cards
The last impression matters, too
When your interview is over, make sure you have professional business cards to leave with everyone in the interview room.
For most positions, the best choice is a classic design in subdued colors, like the many business-focused choices from iPrint. But if you're applying for a more creative position, choose a business card that shows your style. Make sure you choose a font that's easy to read. Size, color and style all play a role in readability, so check your business card proofs carefully. And by all means proof for spelling and accuracy – nothing's worse for your interview than handing out a business card with a misspelling or incorrect phone number.

DECEMBER 23rd 2016
Seasons Greetings dear friends and fans of The Idle Hands. The time is almost upon us to move forward into a new year and to now make this formal announcement.
After much consideration we have come to a mutual decision that The Idle Hands will not continue as a band.
We (Dave, Jamie, Phil & Paul) send our deepest heartfelt thanks to all of our wonderful families, loyal fans, friends, followers and promoters around the uk and the world, for your amazing love and support over our many many years together. A time during which we've seen the band go from strength to strength and rise to a highly respected position on the UK Blues Rock scene.
We can never thank you enough for your love, loyalty and passionate support for The Idle Hands music and performances. There were some tough times but there were stacks of laughs and plenty of amazing gigs and album reviews which we will never forget, and of course you were always there for us.
We hope you will continue to listen to our cds, watch the live YouTube footage and remember the good times, and our website will remain live for cd sales.
But now it's time to say a massive Thank You, Goodbye and to move on. Stay Safe in 2017 as we send you a final farewell and wish you a Peaceful Happy Christmas from The Idle Hands. Dave, Jamie, Phil, Paul. xxxx
November 2016 - Phils recovery continues well.
JUL '15 - Phil is making a steady and positive recovery and we thank everyone for their wonderful support
MAR '15 - 2015 GIGS CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS - See Tour Dates for details
FEB '15 - Darlington Blues was wonderful, super club, team and audience, look forward to next time!
JAN '15 - Halifax show was excellent we had a superb night, big thanks to all who joined us there!
JAN '15 - Thank you to Ben and his team at The Independent Sunderland for your superb hospitality.
JAN '15 - HAPPY NEW YEAR - Looking forward to seeing you and promoting our 'Feeding The Machine' cd
Many thanks to John F for these fantastic images from Sedgefield Rock and Blues Club.
"In the time honoured tradition when all creative musicians must search for the holy grail of pure artistic inspiration which creates and reinforces their own identity a seminal moment occurs, like Robert Johnson standing at the crossroads The Idle Hands have now been overwhelmed by their own magic to produce an album of song potions for the heart, body and soul, the results are electrifying. "Feeding The Machine" is much more than just another blues/rock album as it has depth and variety with every song containing something different for the listener to latch onto. From the blues/funk groove of "Read Your Mind" to the stylistic mississippi porch dobro sounds of "Your Song Goes On" it also has the added bonus of some very momentous tracks just waiting to be discovered that must be given pride of place in this album. "Sad Again" is one of those such tracks which is a sentimental guitar blues instrumental reminiscent of Gary Moore and Snowy White which avoids some of the pitfalls of a clichéd power surge solo, with the recording defying overkill relying on just pure emotion which pulls your heart strings in tune with the song."Full review
"The intro' to the album gives you a raw and rockin' blues number, 'Fever', introducing the talents of Dave on guitar and Phil on blues harp. Following this, 'The Devil And The Deep Blue' is an 'in the groove' blues rock track with some great rhythms. Moving towards rock n' roll, 'Get Up And Dance' adds a different flavour. 'Read Your Mind' however, is a classic rock number with great vocals from Phil, with a bit of funky stuff towards the end which all adds to the interest."Full review
Band: The Idle Hands=3rd, Drummer Paul Heydon 2nd, Bassist Jamie Burns=3rd
Amongst some very respected names! Thank You Blues Matters Writers!
A fabulous feature in 'Classic Rock presents The Blues' magazine Issue 3.

How to pick the perfect nudist spot?
We all share a common interest: The love for being nude. And when someone pronounces the term "nudist" or "naturist" we think of those friendly naked people gathering around the swimming pool or in the woods in their birthday suit. Because we consider ourselves equals, outsiders easily tend to believe that we're all the same. The same type of people with the same interests and the same things to say. But that's certainly not true. We can be anyone, we can be postmen, lawyers or dancers, we can be interested in fast cars, old movies or poetry, we can be straight, gay or bi. We are a bit of the whole population, who just happen to like being nude.
Because we're such a diverse group, we like different things and have different expectations, even when it comes to nudism. Some of us like to make new friends while others prefer to have some time on their own. Some like the small campground with no wifi and barely electricity and others prefer the big all-in resorts. Some come for the activities, the sports, the sunbathing or the environment. In order to avoid any frustration or embarrassment, it's important to pick the right spot for your nudist getaway, even if it's just for the afternoon.
Read the rules
The best way to get at least an indication of a place is to read their ruleset, which can often be found on the website. Even though we're not big fans of places with a 200 page list of what you can and cannot do, you can learn a lot from these rules:
- Pets: Certainly not every nudist place allows pets, so if you're planning to bring the dog it's better to check first.
- Singles: Especially single males are sometimes refused in order to keep the male/female ratio balanced. If you're planning to go as a single, you should check if they don't have a policy against that.
- Body decoration: There are nudist places where tattoos and piercings (especially genital piercings) are not allowed.
- Transportation: Motorised vehicles are sometimes not allowed or only allowed in designated areas. This counts especially for motorbikes.
- Smoking/alcohol: In the beginning of naturist camps, they used to maintain a high standard for health, excluding the use of alcohol and cigarettes. Although this is not that common anymore, there are still places maintaining this rule.
- Clothing: Some places call themselves nudist places but are actually clothing optional. If you don't feel comfortable being nude around textiles, it's better to check this first.
- Children: Some nudist places are adults only. If you're traveling as a family you should make sure that the place you're going allows children.
Read the reviews
There are plenty of websites where visitors of a certain place can leave a review. The most famous one of all is probably Tripadvisor. This information is often pure gold, but you have to know how to read the reviews. Here are a couple of tips:
- Don't trust a single review. Everyone can have a bad experience in a nice place or a good experience in a crappy place. If there are only one or two reviews, they may not be 100% trust worthy.
- Read the positive and the negative reviews. People have different expectations and what's important to them might not be important to you. We've read complaints like "No TV in the room", "bar closes at 10pm" or "no other visitors", some people may actually see that as advantages.
- Check who wrote it. The expectations of a 70 year old single male might be a bit different than those of a couple in their twenties. Or a group of friends or a bachelor party or long term travelers.
Based on the reviews of others it's often a lot easier to determine whether or not a certain place will be something for you. Some things that are particularly interesting to check in these reviews are the quality and cleanliness of the facilities, whether it's a crowded or rather a quiet place and if there have been any sex-related incidents. Some swingers clubs also go under the name of nudist clubs, this is typically something you can find in the reviews.
Next to Tripadvisor there are many other sites providing reviews, blogs for example, like our own Naked Travels. Just google the place you want to go to with the word review and there's a big chance you'll find some info.
We also like to state that in order to help others, it's nice if you write your own reviews of the places you go as well.
If you still have some questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with the owners of the place. Some things that can be important to you, you just can't find out on the internet. For example if you want to know if you can have a shaded spot for your tent, which kinds of beer the bar sells, if they have a changing room for your baby or what the temperature of the water in the swimming pool is. Those things you have to ask.
If you haven't picked a certain place yet, you could also ask the help of your local Naturist Organisation. They can send you a list of places to go to, especially if you have special requirements. For example a list of places which are accessible with a wheelchair. They will be happy to help you on your way.

Well, the Aries 3" bull bar has, and it's awesome. It features true stainless steel construction and a removable skid plate that fears neither death nor mother nature.

The bar also provides a good place for your auxiliary lights, with pre-drilled mounting holes. As the bar is of a bolt-on, no-drill design, you can mount the auxiliary lights without drilling holes in the bumper, thus preserving the trade-in value of the vehicle. The bull bar also prevents damage to the front end from parking lot accidents, preserving both the good looks and the good value of your vehicle.
Give your full-size pickup truck or SUV a hardy look with Aries 3" bull bars. Built with heavy-duty steel tube construction, bull bars are designed to withstand the rugged environment of a hardworking lifestyle, from the cattle rancher on the open range to the industrial man of the asphalt jungle. Aries 3" bull bars feature an easy, no-drill application for quick installation on your truck. They also come with pre-drilled auxiliary light holes along the crossbar to accept fog lights, off-road lights or other aftermarket lights. One thing that makes the Aries 3" bull bar unique is its removable skid plate. This detachable plate is made from stainless steel and features a brushed finish to resist scratches and rust. Because the skid plate can be removed, you can easily customize the look of your truck. The bull bar skid plate features an aggressive cutout design and offers excellent protection for the front end and underside of your truck from stones, branches and other debris.

Good popcorn movie. As a kid raised in the 90's, some good nostalgia in this one. Dacre Montgomery and RJ Cyler were good. Bill Hader was annoying as Alpha 5, though.
A child of the 90s here. I grew up watching this and loving it. This movie was great and I especially loved the cameo in the end with Tommy and Kimberley.
In some ways this movie has really great moments that make you care for the characters and felt like a respectful reimagining of the Power Rangers Series. But some characters are not really enjoyable and lack depth (looking at you yellow ranger), the final boss is a let down, and it feels like it loses some of the original cheesy charm (it does have its own cheesy but its not really the same). If you like the first Power Rangers, you may find this movie more enjoyable than you think you should. I think its a serviceable action movie for even non fans too (though not really anything amazing). Also there is a pretty sweet cameo in it that Power Rangers fans should enjoy.
A fun throwback to our childhood show. The target audience is a bit younger than that of the original power rangers generation of fans, but I still enjoyed it. Angsty teens abound!
As someone who has watched power ranger tv shows, this was amazing! I also noticed great cameos!!!! Fight scenes were exciting, and the "morphin" wasn't as cheesy as the tv shows, so that was a relief! The villain may be too scary for younger kids. 5 out of 5
The actors were atrocious both the Power Rangers and Rita. Don't waste your time watching this, stick with the cartoons.
I thought the movie move way too slow for me but once the action finally started it was ok.
As an origin story, it works well. On the other hand, this movie is all over the place as far as mood goes. The persistent 'edginess' is really gratings; it's as if the producers wanted to take the camp of the original show and replace it with distilled essence of Ozzy Osborne.
they named it power rangers but the actors and the riders of this move suck and the move is not good bad move of 2017 up to you if you what to see it!! the courtoons of the power rangers is way better not a move i thout it was :(

Zordon: These are them? They are so small.
Alpha 5: Funny, I said the same thing.
Zordon: You mean to tell me that the fate of the universe, is placed in the hands of these children?
Zack Taylor: The universe? That's a big place.
Alpha 5: They're teenagers, somewhere between infancy and full maturity. It's hard to explain, really.

Latest email from Bob Lefsetz
How come your favorite artist can't make another album like the one you lost your virginity to, that saved your soul after the breakup, after your mom died?
When you start off, your goal is to open the door. You knock so hard. At first no one is paying attention. If you persevere, and have talent, eventually people notice and the door opens. You pass through, THEN WHAT?
You've got so much to say, so much to prove. If you can just plead your case in front of the masses, if you can just get acclaim, your life will work. But it doesn't. You may make some dough. If you're smart, you may still have some of it. But, you've got relationship problems. Your kids are no better behaved than those of your high school classmates. And, when you release new material, no one cares. If you play live, people only want to hear the hits. You can't get on Top Forty radio, classic rock plays your past hits, but wants nothing to do with you now. If not exactly depressed, you're defeated. And you've earned the right to take no shit, no direction from anyone.
That's where Rick Rubin comes in. He tries to get you back to the garden. Back to the space you were in when you cut those great hits of yore. He's not a sycophant, he's a trusted ear, telling you to keep writing because what you've come up with so far...just isn't good enough.
You'll listen to Rick because of his rep. Because of your raw desire to have an impact again. You've lost your way, and you want to get back on track.
There was context in the old days. A game that you understood how to play. Now, you might have a board, but the rules have evaporated and even though you've still got a few game pieces, you don't know what to do with them. Rick gives you context.
Rick reminded Metallica how great those pre Black Album records were. Told them to forget about the casual fan, to make a record for the hard core. The results have been universally accepted, even revered, as a return to form. But the process was hell on the musicians. Sometimes torture. But they did it, because they wanted to feel they still had something to say, were vital, they wanted to be back on top.
Your favorites are lost. They know how to do it. Round up all their buddies and turn on the computer and lay something down. But, since they're not living four to a room on ramen, there's no urgency. They believe good is good enough. And good enough was NEVER good enough.
I'm not talking about Clive Davis programming. Telling you you suck and that you need to work with the usual suspects and record the music of hack songwriters. I'm talking about a coach. A manager, who tears you down and then inspires you.
Every great athlete has a coach. Some of the best football coaches are hated. They play mind games. In order to get their charges to deliver their best work. This is what we need in the music business.
Rick did it with Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond and now Metallica. He brings them back to the garden. He talks music, tells them how much he loves their classic work. And then implores them to make more.
It's not repeating yourself. It's being INSPIRED in the same way. So you can recapture the essence.
It's true. Most people are not waiting for the albums of aged acts. So, it's hard to get psyched up. But first and foremost you're a musician, not a star. Deep down inside you want to do your best work. Not crap like Rod Stewart, doing it solely for the money and fame, but something that truly resonates with your audience, that you're proud of.
Rick Rubin has been able to put a spell on old artists, do such a mindfuck on them that they dig down deep and prove how great they are to him. We need more Rick Rubins.

Although someone in Britain dies every minute, many people risk missing out on having their end of life wishes met and leaving a mess behind for those close to them because of a reluctance to talk about dying, death and bereavement and make end of life plans.
That's why the Dying Matters Coalition was set up by the National Council for Palliative Care in 2009, with a remit of raising public awareness about the importance of talking about dying, especially amongst people aged 55-75 and GPs (as after family and friends it is GPs that people most want to turn to for information on end of life issues). With over 17,000 members, including probate specialists, charities, care homes, hospices, doctors, hospitals, funeral directors and major employers including BT, Dying Matters is active across England in working to break down barriers around end of life issues.
New ComRes research released in May, coinciding with Dying Matters Awareness Week, found that although more than half of Brits (54%) have been bereaved in the last five years, discussing dying and making end of life plans remains a taboo for many. Yet despite a reluctance to talk, most people can see the benefits of more open discussion about dying: 78% of the public and 88% of GPs agree that if people in Britain felt more comfortable discussing dying, death and bereavement it would be easier to have our end of life wishes met.
Our research found that just over a quarter of people have asked a family member about their end of life wishes and less than a third have talked to someone about their own end of life wishes. As probate specialists know only too well, only 37% of the public have written a Will. Moreover, just 31% have registered to become an organ donor or have a donor card and a mere 8% have written down their wishes or preferences, should they become unable to make these decisions themselves.
It is not solely the general public who are failing to talk about dying or set out their wishes. Only a third of GPs have asked a family member about their end of life wishes and 35% have talked to someone about their own wishes. Just 56% of GPs have written a Will, almost half have not registered to become an organ donor or do not have a donor card and only 7% have written down their end of life care wishes or preferences. It would be interesting to know if members of the legal profession are any more willing to talk about dying and death!
Despite, or perhaps because of, the reluctance of many to discuss end of life issues or set out their wishes, most of us do have serious concerns about end of life issues. 82% of people said they would be concerned about being a burden on those close to them if they were dying, and nearly three in four would be concerned about what would happen to their family after their death. Bereavement support was also a major issue, with just one in four people who have been bereaved reporting that they received the support they needed.
Talking about dying is rarely easy, but unless all of us become more adept at doing so it's hard to see how we will get our wishes met when we are alive or avoid leaving a mess for those who have been bereaved. Writing a Will can be a really important step, but we really need to go beyond this if we are to get our wishes met when we're alive, including about how and where we want to be cared for when the time comes.
Members of the legal profession have a key role to play here, not least by engaging with people who have come to write a Will or who have been bereaved and not shying away from conversations which may be difficult.

Plans call for Highway 1 at the north end of Big Sur to reopen by April 16, a month to the day after a 60-foot section slid into the sea, Caltrans said Monday.
An Oakland contractor will take on the $2.5 million emergency, temporary repair to allow the road to reopen.
Condon-Johnson & Associates will drill vertical soil nails today to stabilize what's left of the crumbling roadway, according to Caltrans.
The highway continues to remain closed to all traffic, including emergency vehicles and pedestrians.
The two-mile closure runs from just north of Bixby Bridge, about 85 miles north of Cambria, to Palo Colorado Road, about 15 miles south of Carmel.
All Big Sur businesses and parks remain open and accessible from the south via Highway 1.

THINK of literary blockbusters and London, Paris and New York are often the locations many authors rely on to set their stories.
But unlike writers of chick lit, where glamorous settings are often used to satiate the fantasies of those on fly and flop holidays, Geraldine O'Neill is shunning the trend to champion the small towns instead - and a rather typical one in particular.
Last November, Stockport scooped the accolade of being the most average town in the country, so it's refreshing that an author who is considered to be in the same writing league as Maeve Binchy is helping put the former hat-making town on the literary map.
"I think it's good to feature other places in books and Stockport was an obvious choice for me as I have family ties there," she says.
Geraldine, 49, who was brought up in Scotland, moved to the town with her husband and two children in the mid-80s and it was here, while she was working as a teacher at St. Ambrose Primary School in Adswood, that she re-discovered her love of writing and started experimenting with short stories and novel-writing.
"I started writing from an early age and won several prizes as a schoolgirl, but they always tended to be for very serious subjects like baptism," she recalls with a laugh.
"When I went to teacher-training college my writing was restricted to academic subjects and then for a few years while I was concentrating on my career and bringing up my children I did no writing at all."
In fact, it was only when she emigrated from Stockport to Ireland with her family in 1991 that her writing really took off.
"I'd belonged to a writers' group in Stockport for a while and it had been so useful and so much fun that I really wanted to join one when I moved to Ireland.
"But when I rang up the library I was informed that there wasn't one. Fortunately for me, the librarian was quite proactive and she offered to advertise and help set one up and we've been going for the last dozen years."
Her latest book, Tara's Fortune, is being published later this month and is the sequel to Tara Flynn, a book set in Ireland in the 1930s.
The new book takes up the plot in the 1950s - an era when huge droves of Irish people moved to the north west, hence the south Manchester connection.
"My writing is always fictitious and is never based on any experiences I've had, but I do write about places that I've lived in and know well," she says.
"One of the joys I get from writing is the research side of things as it's always fascinating to learn about areas connected with your family.
"And, as my husband comes from Stockport and we return to visit relatives very regularly, it's always easier to carry out research.
"Some of the best sources of information are the local books that people write as they give you a really good insight into what the town looked like in those days. People love nostalgia and you get a great feel for the time with the black and white photos of the trams and the fashions that were popular.
"Writing about Stockport in days gone by is bound to stimulate locals' interests and I'm really looking forward to seeing the reaction it receives over here."
Geraldine, who has recently scooped a two-book deal on top of the four-book deal she is just completing, isn't sure whether there will be another sequel to the Tara sagas, but in true literary style, the ending does have scope for more.
"I've decided to take a career break from teaching special needs children so I can devote more energy to my writing," she says.
"I'd planned for Tara's Fortune to span a couple of decades like the first one but it ended up covering just two years."
"Books write themselves and although you guide them you can never truly control them. If they need more depth to the period you are writing about then you have to devote the space, you can't just skim over them."
Tara's Fortune is published by Orion on November 18.
Hello and Tara to good old Stockport

This Trip: FROM 2014.12.25 TO 2015.01.04
Obviously December isn't the best time of the year for a trip to the chilly northern China, but the pros brought by the absence of crowds were significant especially at the most popular attractions such as the Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Site Park, Great Wall of China, and the Forbidden City. Also due to the fact that destinations in Europe closest to our home are mostly "asleep" during the Christmas and New Year period, we decided to enjoy a vacation in China where all attractions, shops, and restaurants, etc. open and glow as usual, not to mention we couldn't wait any longer for a Christmas with Chinese deliciousness.
We would never have traveled a long way just to visit Xian if not for the Terracotta Warriors. Tourist Bus Line 5 (306) (fare: CNY7) from East Square of Xian Railway Station also stops at Huaqing Hot Springs before arriving at Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Site Park. The bus journey takes about 1 hour. Both sites are must-see. Please note that for those who are completely Chinese illiterate would have difficulties making this trip and probably surviving a day in Xian. All foreign visitors we saw were accompanied by their Chinese friends.
Of course it was worth all the hassle getting to Xian for the Terracotta Warriors, we also visited Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Da Ci'en Temple, Xian City Wall, Ancient Cultural Street of Shuyuanmen, Bell Tower and Drum Tower, and also the Great Mosque, before departing for Beijing.
BEIJING - day 1 - Tianmen Square > Forbidden City > Jingshan Park
One wouldn't spend more than 1 hour at Tianmen Square, from there walk northward to Forbidden City. There should be lots of tour guides before and at ticket areas. Bear in mind the tour these guides offer lasts only 2 hours during which they rush yours so that they can start another with the next group of tourists. We spent almost a full day to tour around this magnificent palace. We do not recommend paying CNY250 for a 2-hour tour. After the visit at Forbidden City, continue north to Jingshan Park. Walk up to the summit to enjoy a panoramic view of the Palace.
BEIJING - day 2 - Temple of Heaven > Great Wall of Badaling
Temple of Heaven was the place where emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) held the Heaven Worship Ceremony. It is China's largest and most representative existing masterpiece among China's ancient sacrificial buildings. First built in 1420, the 18th year of the reign of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644), it was enlarged and rebuilt during the reigns of the Ming emperor Jiajing and the Qing emperor. A visit should last 1.5-2 hours. To go to the Great Wall of Badaling, take Subway to Jishuitan and then walk 450 meters eastward to Deshengmen Arrow Tower for bus no.877 (green-and-white official buses). Instead of taking a pulley or cable car, we walked up, as this must be the best way not to miss all the stunning views on the way up.
BEIJING - day 3 - Beihai Park > Shichahai and Houhai Hutongs (+Prince Gong's Mansion)
Beihai (Northern Sea) Park is one of the oldest, largest and best-preserved ancient imperial gardens in China located in the city center. It was a nice place to spend our morning on that beautiful day, before going into the Hutongs. People say that the real culture of Beijing is the culture of the Hutongs and Courtyards. In the past, Beijing was composed of hundreds of courtyards around the Forbidden City, and these lanes stretched out in all four directions, connecting the different kinds of courtyards in the city. The lanes have their own layout and structure, and when viewed from the air the combination of the lanes and courtyards resemble a chessboard with delicate gardens, fine rockeries and ancient ruins this makes them a wonder in the world. Because of the cross interlacement of the lanes every houses connected to the other, making it easy for local people to keep in touch with their neighbors. Therefore, once one enters any of the lanes, one can feel the deep and warm relationships among people, which is rarely found in this modern world. Prince Gong's Mansion is a must-see.
BEIJING - day 4 - Summer Palace > National Stadium the Bird's Nest > Beijing National Aquatics Center the Water Cube
We spent one full day in Summer Palace but still that wasn't enough. It is huge. When we got back to Beijing City for the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, it was already dark. We spent a moment there admiring the night lights of both constructions.
BEIJING - day 5 - Lama Temple > Confucius Temple > Dazhalan Hutongs
In the morning on the last day, we spent around an hour in each of Lama Temple and Confucius Temple. We should have grabbed a breakfast before starting the day, as there is almost no eatery in the area. Dazhalan is another famous area of Hutongs. Here was our walking route: Liulichang Culture Street -> Da Shi Lan Xi Jie -> Da Guan Lou Cinema -> Jiuwan Hutong -> Qian Men Da Jie -> Zhu Bao Shi Jie.

Steroids are used by 100% of bodybuilders that are skilled and I might move as much to state that 90% of the sportsmen that participate in the countrywide inexperienced stage employ anabolic steroids. Clearly, handful of these athletes are recognizing to use that is steroid, especially now intime. Anabolic steroid use hasn't been more of an anti-social habits than it is today, as well as the preconception is currently getting worse constantly. Qualified bodybuilders must be noticeable and state that they denounce the utilization of the very medicines that assisted these achieve their latest reputation or they experience significant effects.

If that player hasbeen branded using the judgment of employing illegal and prohibited materials to achieve their position every one of that's in critical risk. Thus, you'll discover hypocrisy that is nauseating not only in bodybuilding but in numerous athletics.

I'd criticize their behavior.
Anabolic steroids are synthetic versions of hormones that human body produces naturally. Their main role is to assure increased physical performance in all sports and athletic pursuits. Steroidal compounds enhance stamina, strength, weight and size of muscles and may improve the energy levels during physical training. Oral and injectable steroids posses the ability to increase athletic performance, have a positive effect on red blood cells production and bones density. The steroids are used in accordance with requirement and needs of any athlete individually. There are special compounds which are not suitable for women and a series of anti-estrogen products which main role is to counter the eventual side effects of steroids use and to restore natural testosterone levels of the human body. These compounds nowadays became an important part of muscle building process among professional athletes and bodybuilders, as well as regular people, males and females that have the goal to become more attractive and exhibit good looks.

Jon Huntsman Jr. has ended his bid for the presidency.
So what went wrong? A lot, but the simplest explanation may be the best.
Here it is from Ed Morrissey: "He governed in Utah as a conservative in a state controlled by the GOP, but talked like a centrist who despised conservatives. Huntsman's expensive and embarrassing flop really isn't much more complicated than that."
[youtube IV8HFHkX3PA]
In essence, Jon Huntsman lacked the temperament necessary to be president. His announcement that he would "take the high road came had a whiff of moral arrogance," as George F. Will put it, created a stench that never really left his campaign. As Will rightly noted, there is always a candidate who runs who doesn't much care for the party whose nomination he is seeking.
Huntsman seemed to believe that he was above it all. In his calls for civility, he was often uncivil–saying, for example that "they pick corn in Iowa," he told CBS's Early Show, "and pick presidents in New Hampshire."
He snidely tweeted, "I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy," suggesting, if not declaring, that the primary voters who have their doubts about both theories might be batty. He called Mitt Romney, the man he is now endorsing, a "perfectly lubricated weather vane" who has been on "three sides of every issue."
His daughters, who were campaign surrogates, attacked the other candidates with a parody of Justin Timberlake's song "Sexy Back."
"We're bringing Huntsman back, the rest of them is one big circus act. We're right behind the guy who's right on track," they sang in a song released in late November.
The song was an attack on all of the candidates, in the most demeaning of tones. But now Huntsman wants the candidates to stop attacking one another. Morning Joe's Joe Scarborough actually argued that he was "not enough of a hater to win," but Huntsman slug mud with the best of them, especially at Ron Paul–who he tried to portray as a crazy, old uncle.
But the real reason that the Huntsman campaign faltered was its confused messaging. On the one hand, he wanted to be the conservative candidate who had backed school choice in Utah (the truth was a lot more complicated), who had cut taxes, and who could talk tough with the Chinese in Chinese; on the other hand, he was a maverick figure who rocked out in a band and drove a motorcycle and who recycled John McCain's old slogan of "Country First."
Tactically, he failed to divide the Mormon money backing up Mitt Romney by being something of a Mormon in Name Only. It didn't play well in Salt Lake City that he wasn't very religious and was raising his adopted daughter in her native Hindu faith.
He also failed to get the mainstream conservative money, because Romney had already taken it. He didn't campaign in Iowa; he canceled his appearance at the Republican Leadership Conference; he skipped debates; and he focused too much on later states, New Hampshire and Florida, to win any of the early earned media. He failed to qualify for the ballot in Arizona and Virginia, and he made the same mistake that Rudy Giuliani had in running for mayor of Miami, only this time as Mayor of New Hampshire.
His biggest tactical error is that he had trusted John Weaver, who ran the failed presidential campaigns of John McCain in 2000 and 2008. Weaver continued the slurs against Republicans and the Right that John McCain had made his bailiwick. "There's a simple reason our party is nowhere near being a national governing party," Weaver told Esquire in June 2011. "No one wants to be around a bunch of cranks." He also attacked the Republican field as the "weakest since 1940."
But the Republicans were a governing party after 2010, and Weaver's analysis undercut all of the efforts by Tea Partiers and limited government conservatives who had worked to make it so. The thinking was that in playing for the moderate, Independent vote, Huntsman could win enough non-Republican votes to win the primary. But that failed to consider the political realities on the ground: the country's independents had swung decisively for the Republican party in 2010, and there was little reason for them to leave.
If the Republican field is weak in 2012, as Weaver contends, it is partly because of the weakness of Republican presidential candidates like George W. Bush and John McCain to articulate the differing principles behind their governing philosophies and those of their opponents. Additionally, the Republican losses in 2006 and 2008 make it really hard to field a good candidate when there are too few candidates who survived the Bush backlash.
Perhaps Huntsman's largest fault is that he didn't consider that there is already a candidate in the race who is the moderate–namely, Romney. From now until the general election, I would expect Huntsman to launch a new campaign… to be Romney's s Secretary of State. That could be Romney's way of defending himself from the left-wing critics who say he has turned too far to the right.

Introduction by Maria Höhn (Vassar College)
The Croft Institute (University of Mississippi) has partnered with the African-American Studies Program to bring to campus a collection of photographs and oral history about the experience of African-Americans in Germany during the Second World War and throughout the struggle for Civil Rights. The exhibit, created by Maria Höhn of Vassar College and Martin Klimke of the German Historical Institute and HCA Heidelberg, shows how Germany emerged as a critical point of reference in African-American demands for an end to segregation and for equal rights. We are very proud to be able to bring this international perspective on an important aspect of American history to the U.M. community.

Blog Posts & Testimonials
for you and your family
Being newer to the area, I was in need of a dentist. A co-worker of mine had suggested I visit Dr. Starr. After my visit at Laser Dentistry of Erie, I couldn't thank my friend enough! The office had so patiently worked around my busy work schedule in order to get me in and taken care of at a time that was convenient for me. I had to visit the office several times that week, and each time, I felt so welcomed. Melissa was the first to clean my teeth, and she was so helpful and descriptive about everything she was doing. She used great analogies to help me understand what was going on in my mouth. She made the comment that the office staff "holds themselves to high standards", and I couldn't agree more! They take pride in their work, and it shows. Everyone was so professional. Lucia then completed my second cleaning - where again, she was so wonderful. She made me feel comfortable and eased any anxiety that I was experiencing. Dr. Starr and his assistant, Toni, were so patient as they worked on my teeth, allowing me to have breaks when needed. I am very pleased with their work, and their attention to detail. I'm actually excited for my next office visit!
From initial contact to when you walk in the door, you are treated with such care and concern that you almost forget what you are there for! The Doctor and Staff are wonderful! If you are not coming here, its your loss!
Always prompt and professional. The staff is frondly with me and each other, and all seem to be genuinely collaborating on my dental health.
I have been a patient of Laser Dentistry for many years. They are a top notch office There is never much of a wait. Everyone goes over and above to make sure that as a patient you are comfortable with all procedures. The equipment and technology is amazing! Had my 6 month check with Michele yesterday. She was delightful and made cleaning my teeth a breeze. A+++++!
Dr. Starr and his staff are amazing! The best dentist experience I've ever had! They made me feel comfortable and right at home! Finally going to the dentist is not something to fear or get anxious about.

This state has a wealth of anglers who are creatively efficient at catching game fish, but as a group they have been woefully ineffective at furthering their sport through conservation and political efforts.
Therein lies the reason for the surge of optimism about the new Florida Conservation Association (FCA). The fledgling sportfishing organization, formed in January to confront the cancer eroding Florida`s once-fertile fisheries, is the offspring of the Texas-based Gulf Coast Conservation Association, now known as the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) and Florida`s Everglades Protection Association.
The CCA has wielded substantial influence in Texas as the fulcrum for outlawing the commercial harvest of redfish and trout and the establishment of a very successful redfish hatchery.
Following the guiding hand of the CCA, there is reason to believe that the FCA can have a similar impact in Florida, as well as joining with neighboring states to combat regional problems and concerns. Sister associations have been formed in all the Gulf Coast states, and the movement is shifting to the Atlantic Coast.
``I`ve been concerned with trying to find a voice in Tallahassee to express the sportfishing viewpoint. The FCA presented a new angle through its connection with (the CCA). That organization seems to be a very organized group with a proven track record in (fishery) conservation,`` said Gordon Cooper, a Fort Lauderdale attorney who is president of the newly formed Broward County chapter of the FCA.
The strength of the CCA in other states has been solid financial backing and a broad membership base, combining wealthy sportsmen and blue-collar anglers. It has been successful with fund-raising campaigns similar to those pioneered by Ducks Unlimited for waterfowl conservation.
Certainly, Florida presents the same potential, given effective leadership. Other FCA chapters have sprouted in Dade County, the Upper Keys, Bradenton, Sarasota, Pinellas County (St. Petersburg area), Tampa, Jacksonville and Pensacola.

Engaging Minds is the brainchild of Sally Bibb.
Sally's passion for working with organisations to make them successful and inspiring places had already been the fuel for two organisational development consultancies and numerous projects when she decided to focus all her professional energy into her strengths work. Strengths-based recruitment and development brings extraordinary benefits to organisations and their people alike, and Sally was hearing success stories again and again from her clients.
A CEO told Sally, three months into a project, that her strengths work was transforming his business. An HR Director started sending text messages reporting amazing results. And a government department got wind of the work and wanted to know more. Virtually everyone who comes into contact with SBR sees the benefits quickly — staff turnover falling, productivity rising, sickness absence dropping and engagement shooting through the roof.
Sally realised she must take the strengths work to the widest possible audience, and so the Engaging Minds strengths-based consultancy was born. It's as much a mission as a business. The mission?
To turn organisations into places that are hugely successful because they are full of passionate people doing what they love.
Everyone's a winner. And the mission extends beyond organisations — Sally's dream is to help people of all ages and in all walks of life to understand their strengths and what's important to them so that they find work that they truly love and succeed at.
Clients frequently tell us that that we're different from other consultants because of the results we achieve and the lengths that we go to support them and make the projects successful. We're proud of that. We have specialist, up-to-date knowledge, many years practical experience and, just as important, we LOVE what we do.
