Deception Island (62°57'S, 60°38'W)
The beach is black. Volcanic gravel and soot have begun to bury the remains of the whaling station on Deception Island. Part of the South Shetland chain, it is the safest harbour in Antarctica. In fact, it is one of the safest harbours in the world – despite the fact that the island is the cone of an active volcano. The caldera collapsed about 10,000 years ago and it left an almost circular harbour surrounded by scorched black walls.
The entrance is called Neptune's Bellows. It's a narrow slice in the volcanic ring that requires careful maneuvering around the large rocks that rise up to just below the surface. From the window of my cabin the façade of Cathedral Crag appears close enough to touch. The Ushuaia's captain knows what he's doing.
Deception Island is a place where the dead are buried twice. The graves from an abandoned whaling station were covered by an eruption in 1969, which also destroyed two nearby Chilean research bases. The station closed in 1931 when the Depression cut the demand for whale oil.
Built before the advent of factory ships, whales were dragged on shore, cut up, and their blubber was boiled for its valuable oil. The industrial teeth of this enterprise stand out on the black shore. Rusted boilers and massive storage tanks, disintegrating barracks and other buildings are home to the spirits that haunt this place.
Deception is a restless place, not at peace with itself. Perhaps it is the fact that you are walking on the surface of an active volcano, and 10 centimetres below you feet the temperature of the soil is too hot to touch. The island is a living thing, more powerful than the humans who have occupied it on and off since the first sealers arrived in 1829. But there is something else here, something you can't quite put your finger on.
Old whaling boats lie nearly buried by the water's edge. Whalebone is scattered on the beach, ignored by the penguins and fur seals that live here. Rusting oil tanks, covered in graffiti, stand out against the black background. This island is a testimony to human greed and the relentlessness of geological processes. The same forces that tore Australia from Antarctica millions of years ago are still at work. Humans came and nearly annihilated the whales, seals and other creatures. Now we're working on the krill and the fish. And we are doing this as we alter the chemical composition of the atmosphere and the oceans which are acidifying due to the vast amount of carbon dioxide they are trying to absorb. It's not a pretty picture, and the starkly beautiful wreckage of Deception Island lends itself to morose thinking.
Suddenly, the ghosts are chased away by the shrieks of bathing suit-clad Antarctic swimmers heading into the choppy brown water. Flags are unfurled. Sweden and Norway are here. These students seem unfazed by the water temperature which is around 1 degree Celsius.
My feet feel the cold even before I get to the water's edge. It takes forever to peel off the layers needed here to protect one from the wind. The volcanic gravel is like black ice cubes beneath my feet. Dash to the water. Leap into the waves. Dive.
Heart, are you beating?
The cold sucks the air from my lungs as I break the surface. Okay, good. I'm now a member of the Arctic and Antarctic Swim Teams. Just to be sure, I get Hans to video me coming out – again. By this point I'm pretty sure that the Antarctic is much colder than the Arctic, but it's hard to tell. I'm comfortably numb.
The promised thermal bath has been drowned by the tide. There are times where you can lie in a pool on this beach and wallow in 70 degree C water inhaling sulfur fumes that rise from the bowels of the earth. But not today. Today, it's just cold. We all dress as quickly as possible and head to the zodiacs, which are pitching around in the surf, each held fast by its driver standing knee-deep.
Then, I feel it. A sense of elation out of proportion with the event. It's not just the swim, but perhaps the water was the trigger. It's the realization that I'm in a place that few people will ever see. I am enthralled by Antarctica. We all are.
We keep muttering that there are no words, and indeed there are not. Sailing through the magnificent Lemaire Channel (aka "Kodak Gap") where the mountains and glaciers rise out of the crystalline blue sea and the sun sets into the mist above the peaks, we hang on to the gunwales of the Ushuaia. It can't be this magnificent.
"Antarctica has changed my life." I heard this statement many times in the final days of the expedition.
What will this experience do for the students? How will it affect their lives? What choices will they make? How will the experience of Antarctica influence their decisions? Will they stay connected? Will the rest of us?
I've been back just over week now and find part of me is still below 60oS. Reading the Facebook postings and emails of the students, I see this is a pretty common reaction. In the end, we can't really know how this kind of experience will change us. We can only see the major influences in our lives at a distance, through the rearview mirror.
Let me try an experiment (Photo credit: John Crump)

Not comfy boots
"I was looking for a pair of slim and classy riding boots. But these really failed. If you have skinny legs, try the narrow, because medium is too wide. The bottom part is a bit too heavy and kind of weighs me down when I walk with it. The upper leather part is soft but the bottoms are very hard, hopefully they'll soften after wearing for a long time. The only good things are: it looks like they're weather-proof and seal the heat pretty well. Even it's kind of wide for slim people, medium still looks nice. But overall it does not look like it's worth of the dollars. They look inexpensive."

Health care costs are rising around the globe, forcing organizations of all types to take a close look at their benefits programs. Adopting a private health exchange is an increasingly popular way of mitigating this rapid inflation. Mercer Marketplace℠ is a private exchange solution developed for US organizations that wish to strengthen employee engagement, reduce costs, and simplify their benefits administration. Mercer offers the largest range of benefits products and carrier options available—a true marketplace for benefits.
Employee Benefits
Forces at play are mandating sweeping changes in the design and shape of your organization's employee benefits plan. Total annual benefits costs per employee continue to outpace both workers' earnings and inflation, while new legislation and regulations add layers of complexity and additional expense. On top of all that, a shortage of critical talent is adding pressure to offer competitive benefits that will attract key employees.
Global Benefits
Global organizations are a vast mosaic of local divisions, each with its own unique benefits needs. Mercer can help multinationals deliver employee benefits that provide economy, efficiency, and consistency across the globe yet allow local divisions to compete for critical talent, attract expats, and retain key employees.
Health Benefits Administration
In the ever-changing landscape of employee benefits, delivering health and retirement benefits that are competitive, cost-effective, and compliant with new legislation takes vigilance and expertise. Engaging Mercer to administer your health benefits allows your HR department to weather the changes while keeping your strategic mission on course.

Gov. Deval Patrick is standing by Massachusetts' casino gaming law. That's despite defeats in local casino referendums in Milford Ttuesday and East Boston and Palmer earlier this month.
Patrick says the law is working as it was intended, to allow communities to accept or reject a casino deal.
"I think this is something we can do well if we do it the right way," Patrick says. "I think the framework of the legislation is the right framework. This has never been central to our economic growth strategy. It's – for most people – harmless entertainment."
Patrick notes that while Milford voters overwhelmingly rejected a foxwoods casino, a Springfield proposal passed easily this summer.
Meanwhile, a recount of the casino referendum in Palmer, which lost by 93 votes, is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Skip to comments.Federal Judge Upholds State's Tough Assault Weapons Ban (CT's Whole Anti 2nd Law Upheld)
Posted on 01/30/2014 6:14:50 PM PST by raybbr
HARTFORD Gun control advocates were buoyed Thursday by a federal court decision in Hartford that upholds Connecticut's toughest-in-the-nation assault weapons ban, calling it a constitutionally valid means of balancing gun rights and the government's interest in reducing gun violence.
"The court concludes that the legislation is constitutional," senior U.S. District Judge Alfred V. Covello wrote in a decision published late Thursday. "While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control."
The legislature enacted comprehensive restrictions on ownership of semiautomatic weapons and ammunition early last year in the emotionally charged weeks following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. Troubled gunman killed 20 first-grade students and six women with a now-banned AR-15 Bushmaster assault rifle his mother bought.
A coalition of gun owners, gun sellers and sports shooting organizations sued in U.S. District Court to block enforcement of the law and overturn it on constitutional grounds. The plaintiffs argued that the state's ban of 138 weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines is vague, discriminates among different categories of gun users and, most significantly, infringes on their Second Amendment right to gun ownership.
(Excerpt) Read more at courant.com ...
Screw him and the lying horse he road in on. I hope this is appealed to the SCOTUS.
Infringe, infringe, I know what that word means.
Burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights = shall not be infringed.
Abortion at any time for any reason is Constitutionally protected and cannot be touched...
Don't try that in Texas woman.
I love how these Federal Judges keeping finding that my rights are subjected to the whims of Police power. Funny, I didn't see anything in the Constitution that says "This right void where prohibited"
many in govt can't handle the fact they have only limited power.
Facts not proven.
Not a single criminal was burdened by that unconstitutional law.
Only law=abiding citizens had their rights violated.
I guess that we're all criminals now, in the eyes of the corrupt federal government.
By "Federal judge" they mean a Bill of Rights-hating, leftwing commie lib activist, right?
Uh, which Amendment is that? Is that found next to the "right" to abortion in the Constitution?
I now understand how and why it was that Jews in Europe surrendered everything without a fight and then dutifully lined up for death camps and mass graves.
We're living a repeat - even though we're armed, we line up in order to be systematically disarmed while the police are militarized and the government and media declares Conservatives to be a threat to security and the state.
We had a federal assault weapons ban for 10 years that basically did nothing to reduce crime. So how does the judge explain that?
How can such legislation possibly be constitutional?! Not only infringe upon, but to "burden"?
"Covello was nominated to the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut by President George H.W. Bush on April 1"
Circuit Court of Appeals will reverse this decision.
Ith that the thtuff on the hem of my thkirt?
Never mind that the empirical evidence is fewer guns, more crime.
Another FedMob judge who can't read the Constitution.
A right such as the Second Amendment is INTRINSIC to the human condition.
THEREFORE it cannot be "balanced"by any other factor OR "norm".
It is a PILLAR of support of human principles.
It stands on its own by right of Natural Right of Preservation and supernatural right from God.
Anything from God cannot be "balanced" by any other thing because it is INTRINSICALLY GOOD>-
Au Contraire, any other norms outside of the Bill of Rights are inferior to the INTRINSIC right to Self-DEFENSE AGAINST TYRANNICAL GOVT which is EVIL>
THE GOOD can never be balanced Against Evil.
Evil is the absence of good.
Therefore this ruling is evil in its intents and authorship, as it goes against both Man and God.
What a specious argument. We now have enough evidence to show that broad gun liberties, not quite up to what we have via our Bill of Rights in the Constitution, improve "gun" violence rates.
Furthermore, what do you do about a government that sells guns to Mexican drug gangs? What do you do about a government interested in controlling and suppressing speech via targeted IRS tax-harassment? What do you do about a government interested in dictating to its people?
Compliance with Tyranny is Treason.
Looks like the Brown Shirts are wearing Black Robes nowadays.
If the government protected the right to bear arms the same way they protected the "right" to an abortion you would see:
1) Guns and gun safety taught in schools
2) Schools would hand out bullets
3) Children as young as 14 could buy guns without their parents knowledge or consent
4) No restrictions on gun sales regardless of mental illness
5) No registrations on gun sales
6) Gun store clerks would tell customers how to violate any gun laws
7) Gun control advocates wouldn't be allowed to protest within 100' of gun stores
8) There would be laws against the media publishing the names of gun owners.
More children (people younger than a month old) are killed by abortion than guns.
Another political hack in a black muumuu insisting that the plain language of the 2nd Amendment doesn't mean what it says.
So the foregoing information post about his ruling is false. There was no ruling???
This idiot was appointed by that other idiot Bush I.
Are you sure?
Once more we reminded exactly what of idiots the Bush Klan really are.
From the Heller decision:
We know of no other enumerated constitutional right whose core protection has been subjected to a freestanding interest-balancing approach. The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of governmenteven the Third Branch of Governmentthe power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon. A constitutional guarantee subject to future judges assessments of its usefulness is no constitutional guarantee at all.
The judge in this case gets an "F" in Constitutional Law.
So Covello is a Harvard creature-—— there's a surprise.
Depressing, isn't it?
All I know is that the NRA helped rush the NY law into Federal court and the lawyers did a lousy job arguing. Because they rushed this into Fed court, they completely screwed up a couple of cases winding their way through State court which were doing quite well up until Skretny's ruling.
Judge Covello has just issued his decision. Unfortunately, we did not fare well. Judge Covello denied our motion and granted the States in its entirety. Not totally unexpected, and we were prepared all along for this possibility. CCDL is in this for the long haul, and you can be sure we will be filing an appeal forthwith.
Here is the decision. [click on this link>>] Decision and Order (pdf)
Source: Connecticut Citizens Defense League, Inc. Blog
It would be a great thing for America to have a Prez Admin with NO Ivy Leaguers.
And the same for the Supreme Court.
Those are chilling photos. Did they apply for guard camp positions as well?
For anyone interested [includes quotes from the judge on this case] . . .
Federal judge upholds Sandy Hook gun law
They are elitists for the most part - not too many William Buckleys left there.
They have unlimited power, they don't have unlimited authority.
We are no better off than an abused wife holding up a restraining order to fend off her attacking husband.
"government's interest in reducing gun violence"
No such animal exists. guns are by nature passive. and are completely devoid of human attributes. they are made of wood, metal, plastic. this is result of failing to educate. the judge is a stupid moron.
He can read it, he just isn't constrained by it.
This clown makes it up as he goes along.
I've read a number of stories posted here on FR that an overwhelming majority of people are not registering their firearms and magazines. Hope it's true.
"While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control."IOW, government interest isn't constrained by the Constitution. Thanks raybbr.

OSP Rudra Jerkbait
The O.S.P. Rudra Jerkbait is able to produce intense flashing effects thanks to its flat sides and erratic action. Two stationary weights affixed inside the belly of the bait improve balance, especially on the pause, and three smaller ball bearings generate additional inertia, helping to impart the Rudra's big rolling movement. The lip is also precision-engineered with the proper material and shape to create a strong darting action, as well as, a tight wobble even at a normal retrieve. Extremely durable thanks to a unique internal, honey-combed body construction, the O.S.P Rudra Jerkbait has the fish-like actions and realistic detailing to get those big, less active bass to strike.
7 Colors

Customer Reviews
Comments: I still have some from back in the days when it was only avalible in Japan. You get what you pay for... This is top quality stuff. I only wish TW would carry some Japanese colors. It's more convient and cheaper here.
From: Hmoobmuas: Clovis, CA
Comments: One guy's "over-priced rubbish" can be another guy's main jerkbait. This is a great jerkbait. I have 3 or 4 favorite jerkbaits, and Rudra is normally the fist one I use. I have caught hundreds of fish on this, including some fish over 7lbs. It definitely attracts bigger fish than smaller jerkbiat like Vision 110 does.
From: MK
Comments: This is a nice jerkbait, it has a nice side to side action resistance I could not detect any and I was using a light action mod fast rod.
From: Count
Comments: Another over-priced rubbish. Hard to work with. I'm using a 12-20lb SC5 stick, yet the resistant from this bait is still able to hinder the retrieve.

Reviews for this host's other properties
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!
A little romantic house near lake como. It's a historic stone house, which has been restored beautifully. Perfect for two persons, but also possible with two kids.
- Quality assured accommodation

Ansett Frequent Flyers Can Have Their Two Bobs Worth For Two Bob22/01/2002
Ansett Global Reward frequent flyers will be able to fly Virgin Blue to have their say at the Ansett creditors meeting on January 29, with the low fare carrier offering a limited number of return flights to Melbourne for 20 cents (plus taxes and levies)
Virgin Blue has been surprised that Ansett customers have not been given their chance to redeem points during recent months on unsold seats.
To help a handful of those people out, Virgin Blue is offering to recognise their points for their return flight to Melbourne, taking 60 former Ansett Frequent Flyers to Melbourne on January 29 so they can attend the Ansett Creditors meeting and put in their '2 bobs worth for 2 bob'.
To take advantage of this special offer, Ansett frequent flyers simply need to apply at www.virginblue.com.au and be prepared to pay 10 cents* each way plus any additional taxes, charges and the Ansett levy.
Virgin Blue spokesperson, Amanda Bolger said, "This is a great chance for people who feared their points may have been worthless and we thought it would be a good opportunity to help these creditors to have their say at the meeting."
Virgin Blue will make 60 return seats available, ten from each state that Virgin Blue offers direct flights to Melbourne, including Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Launceston and Canberra.
To register, Ansett frequent flyers must have a minimum of 25,000 points, the average amount required by Ansett for a return domestic flight. Normal Virgin Blue special fare conditions will apply.
Those who secure the special offer flights will be notified within 24 hours and will be contacted by Virgin Blue staff who will request a faxed copy of their last Ansett statement for verification of points. All registrations must be completed by 4pm Thursday January 25.
Passengers are responsible for all expenses during their Melbourne visit and Perth guests will need to make their own arrangements for an overnight stay the nights before and after the Ansett Creditors Meeting.
Seats have been reserved on flights designed to get Guests to Melbourne in time for the meeting and leave that evening. Passengers wishing to stay longer can do so, subject to the availability of special discount seats.
"Virgin Blue does not have its own frequent flyer program as we question the worth of existing programs, which are currently under review by the ACCC and rarely deliver anything but frustration and disenchantment. We believe real loyalty is inspired by long-term sustainable low fares and unbeatable customer service.
While Virgin Blue has no plans to introduce a frequent flyer program, the exceptional circumstances surrounding the Ansett situation inspired us to make this one-off offer to the Ansett frequent flyers who will now be able to voice their opinions at the meeting without having to dig deeper in to their pockets", finished Amanda Bolger.
Virgin Blue currently services every State and Territory in the country. The airline recently announced an $8.2-million trading profit for the half year ending September and is currently expanding its fleet of brand new Next Generation Boeing 737 aircraft.

Mixed Martial Arts
Mixed Martial Arts, commonly known as MMA, is a combat sport that incorporates a wide variety of techniques and skills by combining the arts of Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu. MMA Fighters need to be strong as well as highly conditioned. Fighters train to develop explosive movement and conditioning to last round after round. If you want to become lean and muscular while you train your body like a real fighter, you want to take MMA classes.
MMA Conditioning
This is a circuit-based MMA class that uses striking, and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground. Training stations featuring sprawls, clenches, knees, punches, elbows, kicks and ground and pound.
Boxing packs a serious punch and delivers an incredible workout. It's one of the best ways to get fit and one of the toughest fitness programs out there. Boxing classes offer you an athletic workout that gives you the opportunity to take out your aggression on a 120-pound heavy bag, relieve stress and learn some effective self-defense techniques. Every single muscle in your body is pushed to the limit during a boxing workout, so you will burn fat and create lean muscle, resulting in a leaner, more toned physique.
Boxing Conditioning Classes
We pack the most basic and effective set of punches into the class and combine it with footwork, drills and overall conditioning. Boxing Conditioning Classes keep your heart rate and metabolism up long after the workout is over, resulting in less absorption of calories as fat and less weight gain.
Ultimate Boxing Levels 2 and 3
For intermediate and advanced boxers, this is the class to expand your skills. This is a fast-paced class with pads work, and teaches defense, counters, advanced footwork, angles and advanced combinations and light sparring. You need to know your basics for this class, so check with the instructor for placement.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport. It uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. Often referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science of Eight Limbs," Muay Thai makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight points of contact, as opposed to two points (fists) in boxing and four points (hands and feet) in sport-oriented martial arts. It's a form of unarmed combat that is appropriate for everyone, including children. Muay Thai is famous for its incredible conditioning.
Thai Kickboxing Conditioning
Thai Kickboxing Conditioning teaches basic punches, kicks, knees, footwork, Thai combinations and conditioning. Class features heavy bags, is offensively based and run in short intervals with the intention to keep members working a lot and resting a little. This class is a great place for beginners to learn their basic skills and a great place for advanced student to get some intense Thai conditioning.
Muay Thai Kickboxing levels 2 & 3
This is the class for intermediate Thai Kickboxing students. These classes offer plenty of conditioning and the opportunity to improve your techniques. This class works on all aspects of Thai Kickboxing, including kicks, punches, knee strikes, elbow strikes, clinching, footwork, defensive strategy and counter-striking. This class incorporates pads, bags and light sparring. You need to know the basics of Thai Kickboxing for this class, so check with the instructor for placement.
Most real-world confrontations don't take place standing up, so Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling classes take place almost entirely on the ground. Unlike boxing, they don't rely on brute strength. Part of the appeal is that smaller men and women can triumph over heavyweights. These arts will enhance your coordination, balance, flexibility and total body conditioning.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art, it's a way of life that promotes physical fitness, building character and going beyond the traditional arts. Jiu-Jitsu focuses on grappling and ground fighting. We teach how to defend completely against a bigger, stronger person by using leverage and proper technique, most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person.
Submission Grappling
Submission Grappling focuses on clinch and ground fighting with the aim of obtaining a submission using submission holds. Fusing the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Folk Wrestling, Sambo and Judo, this class focuses on transitions from your stand-up to your ground game by using leverage and technique to control your opponent. And it's a great workout.

Thin Your Blood and Support Healthy Blood Flow
My powerful blood circulation supplement, Circulate®, helps:
- Support healthy circulation and blood flow
- Promote your body's normal blood-clotting mechanism
- Support vascular health
- Thin the blood
- Maintain the health of artery walls
- Provide powerful antioxidant support
Maintaining a "healthy heart" goes far beyond just taking care of your heart itself. It's critical to pay equal attention to the other parts of your cardiovascular system—specifically, your arteries, veins, blood vessels, and your blood itself. In other words, your circulatory system.
For some time now, a natural enzyme called nattokinase has been at the core of my nutrient recommendations for circulatory health. And I picked clinically studied NSK-SD® nattokinase for Circulate for its potency. I've combined this effective enzyme with a remarkable undersea wonder called Seanol®, along with mixed tocotrienols for extra antioxidant and cardiovascular support. Circulate addresses these three top cardiovascular markers all at the same time: vascular health, blood clotting, and circulation—in just two capsules per day.
Keep your blood flowing freely as you age
Healthy blood flow is an important part of overall cardiovascular health. Fibrin is one of the most important components of blood viscosity—it acts like a net to stop bleeding and is a normal and necessary part of the healing process when you cut your finger. Plasmin is an enzyme that helps dissolve and break down fibrin to keep your blood flowing normally.
Nattokinase resembles plasmin closely enough that it actually breaks down fibrin. Plus, it stimulates your body's natural ability to produce plasmin on its own, to help support normal circulation, blood flow, and blood viscosity1. The nattokinase in Circulate includes the full research dosage of 2,000 FU (fibrin units) of nattokinase per day, which I believe is critical to its effectiveness.
A super antioxidant for healthy arteries…
Circulate also includes an incredibly powerful sea-based antioxidant called Seanol®. It's derived from a unique brown seaweed called Ecklonia cava, which grows more than 100 feet beneath the sea, deep off the coasts of Japan and Korea. Seanol is truly a superfood, giving you both polyphenols, standard in most antioxidants, plus phlorotannins.
And where most antioxidants are water soluble, meaning they're expelled through your urine quickly, Seanol is 40% lipid (fat) soluble, so it stays in your body much longer—outlasting other antioxidants and helping to provide strong antioxidant support.
Seanol is great for maintaining healthy blood flow, too
Seanol goes a long way in helping to support the endothelial lining of your blood vessels. Plus, it helps generate nitric oxide, which keeps your arteries relaxed and healthy. In a clinical study, participants given 300 mg of Seanol per day (the dosage in Circulate) for six weeks had measurably improved blood flow and circulation.
The perfect partner for total heart health
To round out Circulate, I added mixed tocotrienols. These are powerful antioxidants that fight lipid peroxidation, which can damage the cells in your blood vessel walls. As members of the vitamin E family, tocotrienols have tremendous antioxidant power to help reduce oxidative stress in the body and promote healthy blood vessels which in turn support overall cardiovascular health.2
Circulate not only helps support healthy circulation, but also helps thin the blood, and provides antioxidant protection all at the same time.

Top Definition
Co-opted from the first episode of television show "Daria", it refers to a common courtship ritual amongst teenagers, in chronological order. "Movie", for going to see a film; "Burger", for having a bite to eat; and "Backseat" for the sexual activities that take place in the back of a car.
"They've been going out for a while and he's been getting upset because other guys have been asking her out. And she saying she can't help it if she's attractive and popular. And besides, nobody ever said they were going steady, and if he does want to go steady, he's got to do a lot more than just movie-burger-backseat, movie-burger-backseat, because there are plenty of guys with bigger backseats waiting to take her some place nice!"

Reaction Knock Wedge Sandal
"Got a great reaction from my husband when I wore these Kenneth Cole sandals. Had read a review about the zippers making noise when walking. I don't hear anything from the zippers on my sandals and I was really listening for noise. They are a little higher than my comfort level which is why I put 4 stars, but I'm hoping to get used to the higher heel."

comfy and sleek
"I wanted something for the office that wasnt a stiletto, and these are perfect. Look dressy with work slacks and even dress up jeans on casual days. They are alittle narrow, but with the elastic its just fine (my feet are also slightly wide, but never wide enough for wide shoes..) I also love these have rubber extended up the bottom of the heel so when you drive or walk stairs it protects the back of the heel, so no scuffs and no slips when driving. Very nice design."

Virgin Australia welcomes draft ACCC approval of expanded Skywest Airlines Alliance22/03/2012
Virgin Australia today welcomed the ACCC's draft approval of its expanded alliance with Skywest Airlines.
The alliance, which was granted interim approval on 25 January 2012, will allow the two airlines to jointly contract with corporate customers, offering them an integrated travel solution including scheduled and charter services to regional, domestic and international destinations.
Virgin Australia Group Executive of Alliances, Network and Yield, Merren McArthur said the expanded alliance would enhance the airline's ability to meet the growing demand from the resources and mining industries.
"We welcome the ACCC's draft approval for our proposed expanded alliance with Skywest Airlines today.
"The alliance will allow us to offer corporate customers a comprehensive travel package integrating Skywest's charter services with Virgin Australia's extensive domestic network.
"It will also allow us to extend our Velocity Frequent Flyer program to Skywest's charter services, enabling joint corporate customers to earn frequent flyer Points and Status Credits on those services and access preferred seating, priority check-in and Virgin Australia lounges', Ms McArthur said.
Virgin Australia said the alliance was an important part of the airline's strategy to increase competition in the Australian corporate travel market.
The ACCC is expected to make its final ruling following receiving further submissions from the applicants and interested parties in relation to this draft.

Jackall Mudsucker 110
The Jackall Mudsucker 110 is one of the latest top-of-the-line Japanese hard baits to reach the U.S. Jackall baits are created using the latest materials and design technology. The prototype of each of these lures is designed on a computer to generate a 3D image of the lure, which is then cut into the actual bait in a matter of minutes. This process allows Jackall to get the lure from idea to design to creation much faster, enabling them to get the baits into the hands of their pro staff in a matter of days or hours. This gives Jackall a great advantage; they are able to tweak a lure to perfection and present it for sale much faster than their competitors. Jackall is raising bass fishing to a whole new level with this sophisticated technology and their new materials and designs.
The Mudsucker is a great topwater bait that features a cupped mouth that pops, gurgles, and bubbles on the retrieve. The Mudsucker will walk-the-dog, twitch like a popper, or a combination of both for a unique topwater action that bass can't resist.

Customer Reviews
Comments: This lure rocks, it's crazy with some of the things it does when you walk it, a must have lure! Another good bait from Jackall, thanks tackle warehouse for always having the best selection anywhere, can you guys build a tackle warehouse in Michigan?!!
From: Mrbond007: East Lansing, MI
Comments: I love this lure. It has remarkable action when you change up your retrieve. It pops, jumps, glides and spits water causing the bass the want to kill it. It fishes almost like the Lucky Craft gunfish, which to me is the best topwater bait ever made. The mudsucker works best on light line and medium action rods. You can't go wrong buying your lures from tacklewarehouse. I have spent well over a thousand dollars on lures and I buy them all from these guys. They are the best no matter where you shop. They have the best selection and price that you can find anywhere.

The library partners with faculty in developing students' critical thinking skills, especially in the areas of identifying, accessing and analyzing the quality of supporting data or evidence used in argumentation and reasoning. The Association of College and Research Libraries calls these skills "information literacy": "a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed, and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."
Woodruff librarians can work with you towards these goals in a number of ways:
- Providing research instruction classes
- Building on concepts in multiple, shorter sessions
- Creating a specialized course research guide for students
- Building library resources and skills into assignments
- Consultations with students or student groups
Research Instruction ClassesWe can give your students research demonstrations and hands-on practice in an interactive library session in the library or in your own classroom.
NOTE: Our assessment of student learning in library sessions has shown that students learn the library content BEST when the following apply:
- the class has been given a research assignment in advance
- the library session is close in time to the assignment due date (i.e. no more than 2-3 weeks in advance of the due date)
- the professor attends the library session
- the library session includes active learning
To arrange library instruction for your class:
- contact Erin Mooney (firstname.lastname@example.com, 404.727.6863); OR
- contact the appropriate Subject Librarian for your class; OR
- use the online Request a Library Class form
Building on Concepts in multiple, shorter sessionsBreaking a research assignment down into 4-5 smaller assignments or segments provides an opportunity to develop students into researchers and monitor their progress along the way. Librarians can be involved by providing short sessions focused on the particular skills needed at that point in the assignment. To get some ideas for ways to have the librarian work with your class in multiple, shorter sessions, see what this professor at the University of Massachusetts did.
Course Research Guides
- Librarians can prepare research guides tailored to your classwork to assist students with library research.
- Guides serve as portals for students to begin their research for your course, as well as offer guidance in effectively using research resources.
- These guides can augment a library instruction session or stand alone.
Assignment Design Assistance
Create effective library assignments to best meet your students' research needs:
- We can brainstorm assignment ideas with you (or see Creating Effective Research Assignments) and talk about elements of past assignments that have proven to be successful.
- We can recommend and suggest methods, ways, and resources to teach students research skills.
- We can review assignments to make sure we have the resources students will need to sucessfully complete the assignment, as well as to provide appropriate support when students have questions.
Research Consultations
- Request personalized research consultations for your students with subject librarians who have extensive knowledge of the resources available in their respective disciplines.
- Consultations allow students to have a research experience tailored to their needs.
- Consultations can augment a library instruction session or serve as a stand alone service.
- Students can sign up for a consultation using the Request a Consultation form.

Bills Beat Blog

Top 10 team "seriously considering" Zack Martin
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 5 2014 8:34AM
The 2014 NFL Draft is only a few days away and the lack of definition even at the top of the order is laying the groundwork for what could be one of the more compelling first rounds in recent memory.
Adding to that intrigue is the incredibly connected Peter King of Sports Illustrated, who published a whopper of a Monday Morning Quarterback just three days ahead of the start of the first round. It has insight into Houston with the top pick, St. Louis, Jacksonville and other various selections in the first round.
The most interesting note that could pertain to the Buffalo Bills revolves around Notre Dame offensive tackle Zack Martin. Last week,
WGR wrote that the Bills' ninth overall pick could be a toss-up
between Martin and North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron. According to a league source Buffalo really likes and are very impressed by Martin, a two-year captain at Notre Dame and a four-year starter at left tackle.
Perhaps adding fuel to that fire, King named
Martin "this week's Hottest Guy in the Draft."
"Mayock surprised me the other day by saying he thought Martin will come off the board "between nine and 13 … He's too good. He's too safe. He's about as safe a player as there is in this draft." Mayock told me Sunday he saw a Notre Dame practice last summer in which Martin had to be shifted from his usual spot, center, to guard because of an injury, and when he watched the tape of the practice, "It looked like he'd been playing guard for years.'' I know one team in the top 10 seriously considering him."
- Peter King
Read between the lines. NFL Network's Mike Mayock, who also doubles as the color commentator for Notre Dame broadcasts, says Martin will be gone between nine and 13. King says one team in the top 10 is "seriously considering him." And, while the Detroit Lions could use a tackle, the overwhelming thought has been that they'll go for a receiving option or a cornerback.
Judging from the comments sent via Twitter or on the actual latest WGR mock draft itself, Martin going to the Bills is not a popular notion amongst fans of the team.
However, the simple truth is this: whether you like it or not, the Bills like Martin. And, with him being described as one of the safest, cleanest prospects in the draft (two adjectives to describe Texas A&M's Jake Matthews, who the Bills also like very much) it's not hard to draw the conclusion.
This all goes to the wayside if a player the Bills like more than Martin (Matthews, Clemson' Sammy Watkins, Auburn's Greg Robinson, South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney) ends up falling down the draft order, perhaps calling for an attempted trade up. However, if it falls the way it's expected to with none of those players available, and the choice is between Eric Ebron and Zack Martin, don't be at all surprised if it's the Notre Dame offensive tackle that will be the newest Buffalo Bill.

Skip to comments.Cancer clinics are turning away thousands of Medicare patients. Blame the sequester.
Posted on 04/03/2013 4:02:28 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Cancer clinics across the country have begun turning away thousands of Medicare patients, blaming the sequester budget cuts.
Oncologists say the reduced funding, which took effect for Medicare on April 1, makes it impossible to administer expensive chemotherapy drugs while staying afloat financially.
Patients at these clinics would need to seek treatment elsewhere, such as at hospitals that might not have the capacity to accommodate them.
If we treated the patients receiving the most expensive drugs, wed be out of business in six months to a year, said Jeff Vacirca, chief executive of North Shore Hematology Oncology Associates in New York. The drugs were going to lose money on were not going to administer right now.
After an emergency meeting Tuesday, Vacircas clinics decided that they would no longer see one-third of their 16,000 Medicare patients....

Life is a terminal disease. Throwing good money at attempting to disprove that theory seems ludicrous.
I see.... I guess Obama's plan is kicking in earlier than I expected.
I watched my own son die of Acute Lymphoma several years ago. And to deny cancer treatments *JUST* because of money makes my blood boil.
AF 1 needs to be grounded. And no vacations for the obamas or bidens until this is figured out.
I can't imagine a Republican President spending tax money on partying while cancer patients are dying from being denied life saving drugs. He would be drawn and quartered by the press- and rightfully so.
This administration is a complete failure and disgrace.
The medical racket has already been quite interlinked with government for a long time.
Obamacare stole $750 BILLION from Medicare and the Washington Post blames the Sequester?
The Washington Post is a criminal organization.
My sincerest condolences to you.
Sorry for your loss. I lost both of my parents to Liver Cancer and Leukemia.
Now you know that the Democrats had other plans to kill off people even before they got to the Death Panels.
OBAMA AND DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL, AND WE ARE THEIR TARGETS. It's as simple as that, yet half the voters last November reelected this marxist traitor and his Senators/Representatives.
As the cartoon character Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy and he is us".
Death Panels are really the (unspoken) key to fixing SocSec and Medicare financials.
Even one year sliced off the avg life expectancy makes a huge improvement.
Are you kidding?
Ya want good health care in the U.S.?
Ya better have lots and lots of money, or damn good medical insurance.
I watched my FIL die over the course of two years. He was was in his mid 80's and very ill. The carte blanche medical proceedures that were permitted in his case resulted in a cost that exceeded the ammount of money he made in his entire lifetime.
On top of that, the whole process seemed very un-natural to me. I do not want that. My time is my time. I just want to finish well. Because of medical intervention, he did not finish well.
I am sad.
Gee, I am reminded of my tagline everyday.
So it boils down to...who is to blame for the sequester? I think a lot more people than we'd like are blaming us. It is we who are sending people headlong to their deaths.
How are cancer clinics being affected by the sequester? They might be affected by Obamacare, but not the sequester.
Thank you, He had good Doctors and a great facility.
It just hurts because he was in his early twenties and his wife and him had just had a baby, his whole adult life was ahead of him and 'poof', it was over.
I think a commercial should be made showing Obama livin it up and. The slow death of the cancer patients. There needs to be pushback.
It's about cash flow. Gotta keep the cash coming in and out or the clinic's in trouble (nothing wrong with that). Never mind ObastardCare, our long-standing Medicare is what he's cutting...to make sure it hurts the right people. The providers we have in the here and now are being threatened to punish them and keep them in line.
It's rather unsavory, really. Ghoulish, if you will.
I'm so sorry.
My son is a leukemia survivor. He was 3 months old when we caught it.
Then let me make that decision that is enough is enough, along with a privatized SSI system and allow me to buy a policy post 65 and tell the legacy of Pres Johnson to fry ice.
To think one of these Obamaton Apparatchiks who probably have all the data on us to say ya or nay is everything against me being a man or women of liberty and understanding what our founders gave us.
The boys of Point Du Hoc must be rolling over in their graves for what this usurper has done to our country in the last 5 years..
Hope you never get sick.
It is not just because of "money" but because of OBAMA and how he has rejected all offers to change the formula by which the sequester funds are cut.
OBAMA is doing this for political theater, using eldelry cancer patients as props. A 2% cut in increased spending and this is how he acts?
If this happened to me I know where I would go to die. The steps of the US Capitol or chained to the WH fence while the obamas par-tay with Hollywooders.
0bama's Death panels are here. By his own hand.
But they are gullible enough to think Republicans want to throw them off a cliff.
At some point you have to stop feeling sorry...
God bless
See, don't need any death panels .... just make the sequester cuts hurt as much as possible ....
"The care will likely be more expensive: One study from actuarial firm Milliman found that chemotherapy delivered in a hospital setting costs the federal government an average of $6,500 more annually than care delivered in a community clinic."
It's not about the money, it's about the control. The commies want to shut down the small clinics in favor of the hospital. Hospital administrators can be readily controlled through state and federall bureaucrats and the administrators will have no trouble controlling the providers. Greater numbers of medicare patients will funneled into fewer facilities, and bureaucrats and administrators will be rewarded for keeping costs down.
0-care is so bad that it might collapse before it implodes the US economy; that's why we are seeing Dim senators trying to repeal and delay some of the most onerous provisions such as the device tax.
Good point, if situations were reversed, the Rats wouldn't hesitate one second about doing it.
Pass time to get serious and start fighting like them.
Exactly. The scurrilous propagandist worked in the BS real well.
Life is a terminal disease. Throwing good money at attempting to disprove that theory seems ludicrous.
You're sick.
I am sorry...I've got some deaths looming myself. All you can do is smile at the memories.
here in Washington state, we passed a $30 car tab initiative many yrs ago and STILL it gets blamed for every deficit in every dept...
this is the standard operating procedure....the citizens make a tiny little in road in taxes and it'll ripple like it was a tsunami...
I thin eventually more of the public will be placing the blame on everyone, Republican and Democrat, who is not addressing Medicare responsibly. Medicare could singlehandedly bankrupt the nation; we could be at the point where the gov't feels pressured to neglect everything else in favor of spending money on Medicare and Social Security. Look at the tens of trillions of dollars that had at one point been promised for it. Eventually, we are gonna have to figure out where it is all going and what can be done to stop it from bankrupting our nation. Perhaps for starters asking those who can afford their own medical care to go ahead and do so. And maybe at some point more people might start wondering if frantically trying to keep everyone alive for 95 or 100 years or more is absolutely necessary. It would understandably be considered callous, but what happens when everyone from the richest down to the working class feels themselves buried by out of control tax burdens and finds out the education, national defense and the military, science, universities and everything else could get neglected because of Social Security and Medicare?
Let's all hope that none of your loved ones (if you have any) look to you for emotional support when facing a health crisis.
As I understand it, those affected are on traditional, government-paid Medicare, not the privately-administered Medicare Advantage programs.
Not that they aren't coming for the private Advantage plans eventually. If it works, these people want to destroy it.
Too bad the gutless Republicans can't get out there with the megaphones that ObamaCare STOLE over 700 billion from Medicare and there is MORE to come from this disaster.
so who permitted all these procedures on your FIL?...
you can't force care on someone if they are of sound mind or their poa refuses it....
it is sad...
I'm sad my mother had to die a slow death....I wish we had pushed her to get chemo and all that ...but it was her choice...
even though I am totally against prolonging life just because you can, there is also something called giving "hope" to the very ill....
one would think the pubs could pull off a tv offense once in a while seeing how the rats and bamey boy give them so much ammuntion, but that would be SMART so there you go....
"to deny cancer treatments *JUST* because of money makes my blood boil."
do you advocate increasing taxes to pay for cancer treatments or borrowing from the future or cutting spending
please don't say cut waste and abuse.
Sure, In the words of that famous Surgeon General. They would jus probably die of something or the other anyway.
You really want to align yourself with this moron?
Get a head start, exit now. Take some of your humanist/libertarian friends with you, heck throw an exit party.
If that doesnt work then try 80 to 95, then shucks 60 to 70, and when the kids get in charge 30 might seem reasonable.
That would be a good start. If we are willing to deny care why not just start up the Soylent green rooms.
I had my Chemo Treatment at my Oncologist's Office.
My 90 Year Old Father has the same Oncologist (for Lymphoma)and he just sent him in for a CAT Scan.
I have read that Medicare will start to cut back on funding Radiology Testing for Patients over 75. Could just be hearsay, but I am starting to wonder why the Dr. sent my Dad in for testing. His Blood work was a little low, but no Lymph Node swelling or complaints.
Yet, seniors keep electing them. I suspect that as they turn on the pretty music, dim the lights and show you the flower movie that right then seniors will begin to suspect something's up.
"Soylent Green is progress"
Actually, he was not ready to go and wanted every procedure possible.
It was his call but he suffered a great deal as a result.
I have no idea what I will want if I end up where he was but right now for me, it does not seem right.
Yep. My thoughts too. It is Obamacare.

If you're like most pregnant women, you've been showered with questions and comments from well-meaning family members, friends and strangers. Still, I find it amazing when someone asks a pregnant woman, "Are you dilated?" I'm not sure there's any other time in your life when someone would feel free to question the state of your cervix. Still, the question comes up fairly often.
As you near your due date, your health care provider may do a vaginal exam to determine your baby's position inside your uterus. If there's any question about what part of your baby is coming first and its relation to your pelvis, your health care provider may confirm the baby's position with ultrasound. He or she may also do a cervical exam to check whether your cervix has begun to open (dilate) or soften (efface) in preparation for birth.
It's easy to pin your hopes on the results of a cervical exam, but the information you get from a cervical exam is limited at best. The measurements from a cervical exam are only estimations, so two different health care providers could have different results. In addition, the results don't predict when you'll go into labor. You could be dilated 2 to 3 centimeters and 30 percent effaced for days or even weeks before labor actually begins. Also, a cervical exam can be uncomfortable and may cause spotting or increased vaginal discharge for the day. Sometimes the information isn't worth the trouble.
One of my colleagues describes the cervical exam as a disappointment: You're disappointed if you learn that you're not dilated, and you're disappointed if you're dilated but still pregnant the next day.
In my own practice, I don't do routine cervical exams if I can be sure of the presenting part from a tummy check. If a woman wants to know what her cervix is doing, however, I'm happy to do the exam — and if a stranger wants to know the state of your cervix, you can always say that your cervix is fine and then ask kindly how theirs is doing.

I had a cervical check two weeks ago, on a Monday. It didn't stop hurting until that Sunday. Then they wanted to do another check that next Monday and I said no.I'm in the home stretch and am going in every week, at 38 weeks now, and they want to check every week but I'm saying no until I actually go into labor and admit myself. I do not care to know since women can be dilated and not even be in labor. False hope.
Thanks for this. I just had my first cervical exam (36 weeks) and found it to be a very painful procedure and felt pain for a full day afterwards. Also, I had quite a substantial amount of bleeding which was stressful. My physician informed me that I am supposed to have this exam done on a weekly basis until I deliver. However, I wondered if this exam did more harm than good considering it doesn't predict any risk or when we can expect to deliver. Your post confirmed this for me and I will refuse to do this exam again.
When I was pregnant with my first daughter, at my 34 week checkup they told me I was 2 cm dilated and 60% effaced....I stayed 2 cm until they induced me(fluid level dropped due to bad sinus infection) at 38 weeks 2 days. I did continue to soften as when I was induced I was 90% effaced. With this my second baby I am 1cm dilated and hope that at my next apointment its progressing even though I know from past experience that even if I dilate further its not indicative of labor being really soon.
I was told at my 38 wk check by one dr, I was 0 dilated, but 80% effaced. At my 39 wk check (w/my dr)I was told 0 dilated, 60% effaced. Obviously, the "results" of the internal exam depends on the practioner. At 40 wks (my dr) said that I hadn't changed from the wk before. I'm now 41 wks dilated 1, but no mention of effacement was made this time. My dr wants to schedule me for an induction in a few days, with more "unnecessary" testing between now and then. I just had the Bio-fetal profile/stress test done yesterday and it was absolutely normal (per my dr's own words "perfect")-NO ISSUES! But he wants me to have another one today and he also did not like me questioning him for the reason to have another done. Too bad! Doctors need to learn to listen to their patients as we also have some say in the care we receive and are capable of educationing ourselves on childbirth. I hope my little man comes soon on his own. Fingers crossed!
I was dilated to 2cm for about 2 weeks prior to going into labor with my second daughter. During that time I also had several bouts of false labor. This was good news to me anyway, because with my first daughter I wouldn't dilate even though I was in labor.
I agree the cervix check is just weird. It never seems to tell anyone anything. There were 5 of us pregnant at the same time. This was the results
#1 - Dilated 2 effaced 40% for 2 weeks - C-section
#2 - Never dilated or effaced C-section
#3 - Dilated 8 for 6 hours effaced from 0% to 100% for about 15 minutes
#4 - Dilated 2 for a few hours with no efface. Then went from 2 to birth in 15 minutes.
#5 - Dilated 3 for the last trimester.
what to eat while pregnant
When I reached about 36 weeks, I seemed to get a check every time I went in, and each time I heard "Nada. Your cervix is hard as a rock." This was what I heard from 36 weeks until the Cervadil kicked in at the hospital. After 48 hours of very painful Pitocin-induced contractions (my blood pressure had spiked due to the pain of being in LABOR, go figure!), I had still not dilated beyond 2 cm and ended up having a c-section. There were about eight total cervical checks and each time my husband and I got our hopes up and each time they were dashed in about 30 seconds. Although emotionally it truely is lose-lose when you don't get the news you want, medically the check still has value, and it's only a few uncomfortable seconds out of many more to come in a woman's life and when it comes down to it, the baby will be born one way or another. Without the check, my sister in law would've had no idea she was dilated to five cm halfway through through her pregnancy with multiples and could have created complications for no good reason.
I had my 38 week appt yesterday and declined the exams. I was basically told that "well it's your body but you're not making the right choice" The doc was just upset that someone told him no. I did tell him why. The reasons they aren't a good idea. he said I was making things up. Good riddance!
