A presidential tradition: Congratulating newly elected Congressional leaders.
President Obama, vacationing in Hawaii, spoke by phone Thursday with newly re-elected Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio.
The president also dialed up re-elected House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The White House statement on the latter conversations:
"This morning, in keeping with long standing tradition on the opening day of a new Congress, the President completed a call with Majority Leader Cantor and Democratic Leader Pelosi.
"The House leaders relayed that a quorum of the House has been assembled, a Speaker and Clerk have been elected and that the 113th Congress is ready to receive any communication that he will make.
"The President thanked the two leaders, congratulated them and extended well wishes to all Members of the new Congress."

Every November, the Omaha Playhouse performs A Christmas Carol to sellout crowds. But what the audience doesn't see are the awkward, funny, strange and inspiring moments that happen long before the curtain opens. In Casting Call to Curtain Call, a one-hour documentary, we follow the process of bringing the play from the page to the stage from the initial auditions to the final curtain call.

Fiesta Friday Nights at the de Young Presents Live Music from the Golden Age of Film and Artist Fellows Showcase
This event is expired.
Wilsey Court
6:30–8:30 p.m.
Live Music
Orchestra Nostalgico is a nine-piece band that primarily plays film music, mostly by Nino Rota. As the legendary big band Club Foot Orchestra—who pioneered the resurgence of live accompaniment for silent films—was going into hibernation in the mid-1990s, their cellist Matt Brubeck received a commission to put together an evening of music by Nino Rota, the quintessential film composer best known for his scores for The Godfather, Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, and nearly every film ever made by Federico Fellini. Brubeck gathered together many of his Club Foot colleagues and others, first settling the group into a lengthy residency at Bruno's, and then down the street at Foreign Cinema. The personnel gradually shifted, as did the set list, incorporating film scores by Bernard Herrmann, Ennio Morricone, and John Barry, as well as a little bit of Lennon/McCartney and some originals by band members. A CD, Club Foot Orchestra Plays Nino Rota, preceded a name change to Orchestra Nostalgico. In addition to appearing all over the Bay Area, the group has played for Fellini and Rota festivals in Seattle and San Antonio, as well as the Festival Mozaic in Paso Robles.
The current lineup includes Steve Kirk, guitar; John Hanes, drums; Sheldon Brown and Phillip Greenlief, reeds; Chris Grady, trumpet; Catharine Clune, violin; Tom Yoder, trombone; Myles Boisen, bass; and Joshua Raoul Brody, piano.
Hands-on art making for the entire family is offered every Friday Night.
Monotone Marvels: What happens when you pick a color and stick with it? We'll make some monotone marvels as we think about how artists use a single color to explore mood and the impact of less. Meet our museum artists and create your own piece of art to take home.

Making predictions is dicey business. But it's customary (and fun) to imagine what the New Year will bring in tech and determine how topics and trends that surfaced in 2012 will evolve. With that in mind, here are some of the areas that I'm keeping an eye on in 2013.
• RIM comeback? These haven't been kind times for BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion, which probably did more to usher in the smartphone era than any other company. By last January, with the BlackBerry franchise very much in decline, RIM replaced longtime co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie.
Current CEO Thorsten Heins faces a major test on Jan. 30 with the global launch of BlackBerry 10. The newest BlackBerrys will include a touch model and one that exploits a traditional BlackBerry strength — physical keyboards. I liked what I saw of very early prototypes, but they were just that, early prototypes. It remains to be seen not only what pundits think of the new phones but, more important, what the consumers and businesses that RIM needs to attract as buyers think.
Having enough compelling apps to compete against Google's Android phones, and especially Apple's iPhone, is critical. And even if the phones are well received, it doesn't mean RIM will have a winner at the cash register. Many folks (me included) like Windows Phone 8, for example, but such devices still lag behind the market leaders. I would by no means consider RIM down for the count in this fast-changing market. I wouldn't bet the farm on a major turnaround, either.
• Apple TV. Forgive me if you've heard this one before, that Apple intends to reinvent the TV market, blah, blah, blah. But Apple CEO Tim Cook lent credence to the rumors when he admitted to NBC's Brian Williams that TV is "an area of intense interest. I can't say more than that."
Apple, of course, already sells the Apple TV set-top box and could try to tame the TV experience by doing more to jazz up the product, perhaps with iOS-style apps and games.
But longtime Apple follower and Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster expects something more ambitious: a real Apple-branded television. Speaking at the recent Business Insider Ignition conference, Munster predicted that Apple would bring out a 42- to 55-inch TV set next November that's priced between $1,500 and $2,000. Features would include a simplified TV interface and remote control, voice control, FaceTime and apps.
As they say in TV Land, stay tuned.
• Sales of Windows 8. OK, so Microsoft had its big launch party for Windows 8 in 2012. But next year is when we really start to measure Win 8's impact. The early reception is mixed. I appreciate the fresh touch-friendly, tile-based interface in Windows 8 and give kudos to the company for trying something radical. But people have been fretting about how dramatically different Windows 8 looks and behaves — for starters, no more traditional Start menu.
Microsoft also confused matters by introducing two main flavors of Windows 8. An RT version is optimized for mobile devices running ARM-type processors and is incompatible with all the legacy Windows software out there, though it does run a special version of Office. Then there's the full Windows 8 version, which will run older programs. Microsoft charges $499 (on up) for the RT version of its much-ballyhooed Surface tablet.
Sales have reportedly been extremely soft so far, though distribution has also been limited. Microsoft says it's adding retailers. Still, that doesn't bode well for the Intel-powered Surface with Windows 8 Pro, when it comes out in a few weeks, at $899 on up.
• Kindle Phone. Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos won't spill the beans on rumors that his company is working on a smartphone. What he will say is that Amazon doesn't make a whole lot of money selling hardware such as the Kindle Fire HD tablet. Instead, the payoff comes when you're lured into Amazon's vast content ecosystem for books, movies, TV shows and games. Does a smartphone that runs some version of the Kindle Fire/Android-based operating system fit into the strategy? In 2013, we may find out.
• The Internet of Things. It's not likely to happen in a big way immediately. But you're going to hear a lot more about the Internet of Things, sometimes referred to as M2M (for machine-to-machine communications). Verizon identifies M2M as one of the key business tech trends for 2013. What is it? Think physical objects that connect to other physical objects and, ultimately, to you through the Internet.
Verizon believes that such connections now cover much more than smart-energy delivery and smart cars. The company points to elaborate networks of sensors that will have an impact on health care, the first consumer-ready wave of automotive telematics and more.
One example from Mark Bartolomeo, a Verizon global vice president: When you buy a soft drink, distribution companies can deploy "intelligent vending machines" to stay well-stocked based on consumer preferences.
• Mainstream 3-D printing. It seems like magic: You can create an honest-to-goodness physical model from a digital model. But 3-D printing is very real and has been used by industry for some time.
The technology shows mainstream promise. Three-dimensional printers contain the metals, plastics and other materials required to make a physical object.
A company called Shapeways, for example, lets consumers design and print a variety of 3-D objects, from rings and iPhone cases to little toy statues.
Retailer Staples recently announced plans to launch a 3-D printing trial in three European countries early next year with other countries to follow. Using this so-called Staples Easy 3D service, you'll upload your digital model to Staples, then be able to pick up the finished item in the store.
Meanwhile, nascent 3-D printers for the home have been very expensive but are reaching more-affordable levels. A Brooklyn company called Solidoodle plans to start shipping the third-generation Solidoodle 3-D printer in January at $799; a second-generation model costs $499. And Solidoodle is selling a $43 2-pound spool of plastic filament that would help you create your item.

There is no denying the recent history of ethnic violence and turmoil that divided the Balkans in the 1990s. Consequently, the incremental return of foreign and domestic visitors to Montenegro, as well as Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, represents a significant return to stability almost ten years after the fighting stopped. And the particular interest of many tourists in the biology and cultural geography of the region makes clear the potential usefulness of "green" branding for Montenegro to distinguish itself from its competitors in the Mediterranean, and to resurrect the country's political image and visitor appeal through targeted environmental practices and promotions. The ability to embellish its "eco" credentials and image through complementary partnerships and policies that sustain both tourism and the nation's economy would allow Montenegro to strategically and successfully position itself in the Adriatic travel market over the long term. Collaborative management and branding of World Heritage sites and transboundary parks for sustainable tourism will also enable Montenegro, and its former allies and foes, to restore the social and biological integrity and connectivity of a shared landscape severely degraded by a decade of war. In this manner, tourism can be a critical catalyst in overcoming the negative imagery and distrust which still impedes the Balkan's ability to achieve greater political integration and prosperity in an increasingly unified Europe. 349861 bytes application/pdf en The Haworth Press West Balkans Tourism Conflict Transboundary Tourism -- Montenegro Balkan Peninsula Branding post-conflict destinations: recreating Montenegro after the disintegration of Yugoslavia Book chapter journal article

Williams (eds) SUSTAINABLE TOURISM: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE, pp. 221-237. 0750689463 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/2066 The phenomenal growth of tourism experienced by the East Asia-Pacific region in the 1990s, nearly double the world average, has played a formative role in reuniting and empowering countries long fragmented by conflict and genocide. Stimulated by an increase in disposable income and leisure time, greater political stability and openness, and aggressive promotional campaigns, tourism is further credited by proponents with discouraging unsustainable practices in environmentally sensitive areas, while simultaneously creating greater opportunities for women and ethnic minorities to participate in the development process. As a result, governments throughout the region are now busy (re)positioning their countries as "authentic" destinations for visitors interested in local culture and nature. However, not every country or community in Asia will succeed as a tourist attraction, and those that do may discover the economic benefits less consequential than the social costs, as residents find their governments more intrusive and traditional practices rendered inauthentic for tourists' consumption. The challenges of balancing such development with environmental conservation – and the possibilities offered by tourism in reconnecting an area long defined by its history of conflict, through expanded networks of travel and communication – are the focal points of this case study on Con Dao National Park in southern Vietnam.

Four decades later, Captain James Cook arrived by boat to map Alaska's extensive coastline for Great Britain. Soon thereafter, intrepid Russian colonialists sailed from Siberia to establish the first European settlement on Kodiak Island, and almost 30,000 adventurous goldseekers disembarked from steamships in 1897 in transit to the Yukon and Klondike mines. Today, almost one million visitors reach Alaska by boat each year during the brief summer season (May-September). Though many come aboard ferries of the state's famed Alaska Marine Highway System, most sail on one of 32 vessels owned by twelve cruise lines that now ply the inland waters of Alaska and the Canadian Pacific – and their popularity is growing almost exponentially. 1050051 bytes application/pdf en CABI Publishing/Butterworth-Heinemann Alaska Cruise tourism Cruise ships -- Alaska Cruising North to Alaska: the new 'gold rush' Book chapter

A central tenet of this argument presumes that tourism can help ensure environmental conservation and simultaneously, both employ and empower women and ethnic minorities. Yet, the selling of local people and their practices as tourist "attractions" too often transfigures the social history and culturally-constructed landscapes of the destination by mediating the formation of identities long defined through gender, behavior, and belief. This chapter, therefore, highlights the evolving roles of women and men in the globalization of tourism, as they decipher and interpret their history and "place" as visitors and denizens of locations increasingly (re)defined by the images and discourse of travel marketing. More specifically, it examines the interplay between gender and tourism by drawing attention to the 1) manner by which our spatial and cognitive experiences as hosts and visitors – and the resultant choice of destinations and leisure activities for either enjoyment or employment – are shaped by cultural constructions, perceptual images, and social practices of gender and sexuality, including prescribed clothing and physical appearances, ritualized behavior, and notions of work and equity; and 2) venues where tourism, as an industry and a socioeconomic sphere of human activity, might engender positive change at the local and international levels in existing social, environmental, and financial conditions. In so doing, the following research is intended to encourage both critical – and creative – appreciation and further discussion of the direction and discourse of tourism development and marketing in the magnification and marginalization of cultural traditions and local heritage. 1698133 bytes application/pdf en_US CABI International Gender Tourism Gender posed: the people behind the postcards Book chapter
Ringer, Gregory D., 1951- (University of the South Pacific, Suva, Fiji, April , 2004)[more][less]Ringer, Gregory D., 1951- 2006-01-10T18:50:51Z 2006-01-10T18:50:51Z 2004-04 The Journal of Pacific Studies 26 (1-2): 131-150 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/2092 Tourism has grown to become the dominant service industry in the world in the 21st Century and a common prescription for funding sustainable community development throughout the East Asia-Pacific region. Certainly, there can be no denial of tourism's potential to provide meaningful economic alternatives for indigenous residents. However, the marketing of rural communities and island nations as tourist attractions may also transfigure the dynamic historically and socially-constructed landscapes of the destination through the reformation of local identities and cultural patterns of behaviour. To encourage a proactive approach to tourism, planning must therefore be sensitive to the social morphology of the destination community and the intersect with tourist activities. To encourage such a process, this paper adopts a geographic perspective to examine the qualitative effects of ecotourism on the Micronesian island of Kosrae as it moves from a subsistence-based, conservative, patriarchal society to a tourism destination in the global economy. In this manner, the cognitive perceptions and practised lifestyles of residents and visitors and the recreational space of the destination are distinguished from the inhabited place of local people, and the social structure, meaning, and cohesion of Kosraean culture more meaningfully clarified.

Where only recently, "adventure tourism" referred to the possibility of abduction and death for foreign tourists, the term once again suggests the possibilities offered by a country whose national parks and protected areas remain among the world's most significant, culturally and ecologically. Like much of sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda has endured decades of ethnic violence, institutional mismanagement and international neglect, poverty, and disease. Yet, recent increases in disposable income and leisure time, improved political stability and openness, and aggressive tourism campaigns have fueled the boom in tourism both locally and intra-regionally. As a result, tourism – and more specifically, culture- and nature-based ecotourism – is now one of the most important sectors in the regional economy, and governments throughout East Africa are busy (re)positioning themselves as international destinations. Certainly, not every country or community in Africa will succeed as an attraction, and those that do may discover the economic benefits less consequential than the social costs, as governments become more intrusive and traditional practices are rendered inauthentic for tourists' consumption.

The language and practices of â wellness tourismâ which prevail in Oregon differ significantly from those widely applied in Europe, where the concept is firmly established, both legally and culturally. Consequently, the ideas highlighted in this paper are intended to support further discussion of the critical benefits of health-related tourism for Montenegro. In addition, the visitor experiences and data from Oregon may encourage further consideration of alternative resources and preventive therapeutic treatments that would complement existing curative facilities, and provide meaningful opportunities for small- and medium-sized hotels and tour operators in Crna Gora (Montenegro). 127326 bytes application/pdf 1 1 Wellness tourism Oregon Healthy spaces, healing places - sharing experiences of wellness tourism in Oregon, USA Article

To confront the growing social and natural problems, many sub-Saharan countries are now turning to ecotourism, with governments and residents alike attracted by suggestions that ecotourism can simultaneously sustain communities and the natural environments which surround them. Indeed, the success of nature-based tourism in Uganda — now the fastest growing sector in the country — makes clear its potential for economic development. Such windfalls do not come without social costs, however, and the manner in which ecotourism develops directly affects the sustainability of local areas. Yet, tourism proponents throughout East Africa continue to stress upscale facilities and the desires of affluent international visitors over the quality of choice afforded indigenous people in conserving their natural heritage and traditional practices. The challenges and opportunities of such an approach are highlighted in this examination of sustainable tourism and wildlife protection in Uganda's newest protected area and former game preserve, Katonga. 140286 bytes application/pdf en_US Africa Ecotourism Uganda Environmental conservation Natural resources -- Management National parks Sustainable communities & ecotourism in Uganda: the Katonga Wetlands Conservation Project Article

As a result, there exists tremendous need for additional research on the long-term effects of tourism on emergent destination communities. In response, this study presents the preliminary findings of research among residents and visitors to the twin Alaska "ghost" towns of Kennicott and McCarthy and the implications for a new direction in tourism studies, one that recognizes a socially-defined landscape often overlooked in the traditional literature of tourism and outdoor recreation in protected areas in Alaska and worldwide. 263631 bytes application/pdf en_US Elsevier Alaska Tourism Environmental perception Cognitive images Wilderness National parks Kennicott (Alaska) Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve (Alaska) McCarthy (Alaska) Wilderness images of tourism and community Article

DMAE – Dimethylaminoethanol & The Effect on Skin
Dimethylaminoethanol, better known as DMAE, is an antioxidant membrane stabilizer. When taken orally or applied topically, it helps to firm, smoothe, and brighten skin. It also enhances the effects of other antioxidants like alpha lipoic acid and Vitamin C ester. As a result, DMAE works best when used in combination with other nutrients and an antioxidant base.

DMAE may be best known by its reputation as an oral cognitive supplement, but it also has a great effect on skin. Topical creams that include DMAE aid in tightening the muscles that keep your skin looking healthy to diminish the appearance wrinkles, lines, and sagging. Perricone MD includes DMAE in 16 of his products because of its effect on skin and useful interactions with other ingredients.
DMAE performs two different roles in the body. It both produces the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain and acts as an antioxidant cell membrane stabilizer. DMAE's antioxidant action comes from this ability to strengthen the cell membrane. DMAE can do this because its structure allows it to insert itself between components of the cell plasma membrane and help protect the cell from free radical attack.
When DMAE functions as an antioxidant and helps keep the cell membrane intact, this reduces stress to the cell and inhibits production of arachidonic acid and other chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation.
As skin gets older, it undergoes many changes, including:
- Wrinkling
- Discoloration
- Mottling, or patchy skin
- Broken blood vessels
- Decrease in radiance
- Loss of firmness
The common complaint of "gravity taking its toll" doesn't fully explain why so many people develop sagging skin as they age. There are cellular and nutritional factors at play when skin's appearance changes as it gets older.
What are some of these factors?
- Free radical damage
- Muscle sagging
Free radical damage
Free radical damage accumulates throughout our body as we age. Free radicals are oxygen molecules that have lost an electron through their interactions with other molecules. This makes the oxygen molecule extremely unstable. Since molecules always seek stability, these unstable oxygen molecules try to bond with extra electrons in order to fill their own electron shells.
Most of the time, these free radicals take the electrons from healthy cells, creating detrimental a chain reaction. In order for one free radical to stabilize itself, it has to destabilize another cell, resulting in a new free radical. Free radicals are also created by natural bodily processes like breathing and digestion, as well as environmental factors like sunlight, cigarette smoke, and pollution.
The body has a natural method of defense against free radicals, and the key to this defense is antioxidants. Antioxidants do their job by providing the extra electrons unstable free radicals need. Once the free radical has this electron, it becomes stable; this prevents the destruction of otherwise healthy cells.
Watch this video for more information on DMAE:
However, antioxidants can't always keep up with all the free radical damage that occurs in the body, especially if the body is under oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can be caused when prolonged sunlight exposure or ingesting harmful substances make too many free radicals for antioxidants to neutralize. That's why it's important to use supplements and eat healthy, antioxidant-rich foods in order to increase the store of antioxidants your body can use in its battle against free radicals.
Muscle sagging
Muscles contract when the brain sends a signal to the targeted muscle. The signal travels along a nerve which ends a short distance before it makes contact with the muscle. At the tip of the nerve is a bulb full of chemicals including acetylcholine. The nerve releases the chemicals, and they trigger the muscle to contract.
Acetylcholine is an important component of this process because it acts as a "wake up call" for the muscles. When acetylcholine makes contact with the muscles, the muscles respond with tone and movement.
However, both the production of this important chemical and its effect on the muscles decrease as the body ages. This is one reason muscles start to lose their tone. When muscles behind the face lose tone, the skin begins to sag.
In addition to DMAE's antioxidant role in protecting the cell membrane from attack by free radicals, it also fights against sagging muscles. DMAE does this by promoting the production of acetylcholine, a chemical responsible for creating muscle tone. By triggering a response that tones the muscles, the result can be firmer, smoother skin with fewer wrinkles. DMAE is an active ingredient in Perricone Cold Plasma, for example, and provides a lifted and firm appearance to sagging skin.
Unlike many other skincare products, such as Retin A, which only reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, DMAE actually works to address the root of the problem to help reverse muscle sagging. DMAE treats the cause, not the symptom, of loss of firmness in the skin.
DMAE is considered a safe substance with few to no side effects or adverse reactions, and it's well tolerated by patients. The only reported side effects come from using a DMAE supplement; if more than the recommended dose is ingested, DMAE can cause muscle tension, headaches and insomnia. So always read labels carefully and follow product directions to ensure DMAE is used correctly.
All of the products containing DMAE have a special Perricone discount available as well.

Teaching Children to Play With Fire

A broken jaw is a break (fracture) in the jaw bone. A dislocated jaw means the lower part of the jaw has moved out of its normal position at one or both joints where the jaw bone connects to the skull (temporomandibular joints).
Dislocated jaw; Fractured jaw; Broken jaw; TMJ dislocation
A broken or dislocated jaw usually heals well after treatment. But the jaw may become dislocated again in the future.
Complications may include:
The most common cause of a broken or dislocated jaw is injury to the face. This may be due to:
Symptoms of a broken jaw include:
Symptoms of a dislocated jaw include:
A broken or dislocated jaw requires prompt medical attention because of the risk of breathing problems or bleeding. Call your local emergency number (such as 911) or local hospital for further advice.
Hold the jaw gently in place with your hands while traveling to the emergency room. A bandage may also be wrapped over the top of the head and under the jaw. The bandage should be easily removable in case you need to vomit.
If breathing problems or heavy bleeding occurs, or if there is severe facial swelling, a tube may be placed into your airways to help you breathe.
Temporarily bandaging the jaw (around the top of the head) to prevent it from moving may help reduce pain.
Treatment for a fractured jaw depends on how badly the bone is broken. If you have a minor fracture, the fracture can heal on its own. You may only need pain medicines and to follow a soft or liquid diet for a while.
Surgery is often needed for moderate to severe fractures. The jaw may be wired to the teeth of the opposite jaw to improve stability. Jaw wires are usually left in place for 6 to 8 weeks. Small rubber bands (elastics) are used to hold the teeth together. After a few weeks, some of the elastics are removed to allow motion and reduce joint stiffness.
If the jaw is wired, you can only drink liquids or eat very soft foods. Have blunt scissors readily available to cut the elastics in the event of vomiting or choking. If the wires must be cut, consult a health care provider promptly so they can be replaced.
If the jaw is dislocated, the health care provider may be able to place it back into the correct position using the thumbs. Numbing medicines (anesthetics) and muscle relaxants may be needed to relax the jaw muscles.
The jaw may need to be stabilized. This usually involves bandaging the jaw to keep the mouth from opening widely. In some cases, surgery is needed to do this, particularly if repeated jaw dislocations occur.
After dislocating your jaw, you should not open your mouth widely for at least 6 weeks. Support your jaw with one or both hands when yawning and sneezing.
Do not attempt to correct the position of the jaw. A doctor should do this.
Safe practices in work, sports, and recreation, such as wearing a proper helmet when playing football, or using mouth guards, can prevent some accidental injuries to the face or jaw.

Hunger Games Interview with Josh Hutcherson!
Some people disagree with me, but I think the most important character in The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins (for ages 12 and up) is Peeta. Therefore, I also think that the actor who plays Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) has the most important role in The Hunger Games movie (rated PG-13), in theaters March 23. In my eyes, for the movie to really work, Peeta has to be just right. That's why I am so excited to read this interview with Josh talking about Peeta because it sounds like he really gets him. It makes me even more excited to see the movie!
Q: How did you prepare for the role of Peeta, a baker who becomes a fighter? Did you have to train in baking and fighting before the movie?
Josh: [Laughs] Actually, one of the things that drew me to The Hunger Games so much is how much I felt like myself and Peeta had in common. I think we're very much the same person. We have a very similar outlook on life . . . about being genuine with people. I think that's something that Peeta always is. He's very good at working with people. He's very outgoing, and he really believes in not letting anything change you. You always need to make sure that you are true to yourself and you're being the truest version of you. For me, that's kind of how I've been throughout the movie business. People can really change you and you can sort of lose who you are. But I've always believed in maintaining myself as a person.
As far as preparing for the role, I felt like I was really already there mentally. You know, the books give a lot of insight into the characters, which is really great. So, having that as a reference was awesome. And Suzanne Collins was great. I had a great conversation with her. She asked me if I had any question about motivations, to just give her a call and she would happily talk it out with me.
As far as the baking and fighting goes, I actually love to bake, funnily enough. That's another thing Peeta and I have in common. I've always been into cooking and baking. And with the fighting element, Peeta doesn't fight a whole lot in the first Hunger Games. So, I didn't have too much training for that. I did, however, put on 15 pounds of muscle weight for the role to get that beefier, been-lifting-bags-of-flour sort of look. Basically, I was eating a ton of protein and working out every day, lifting a lot of weights and stuff like that. Peeta is "farm boy" kind of strong, so he's not like the cut surfer model type. He's a little bulkier and a little bit bigger, so that's what we were going for with the look.
Q: Do you think Peeta would be a friend of yours in real life?
Josh: I definitely think so. We'd definitely get along because we'd pretty much have the exact same view about life, and our demeanor would be very similar.
What do you think? Isn't he perfect? Leave a Comment! And if The Hunger Games is your favorite book, don't forget to vote for it in the Kids' Choice Awards!

Posted on 01/23/2012 9:03:02 AM PST by Mount Athos
A crude new method of making methamphetamine poses a risk even to Americans who never get anywhere near the drug: It is filling hospitals with thousands of uninsured burn patients requiring millions of dollars in advanced treatment a burden so costly that it's contributing to the closure of some burn units.
So-called shake-and-bake meth is produced by combining raw, unstable ingredients in a 2-liter soda bottle.
The influx of patients is overwhelming hospitals and becoming a major factor in the closure of some burn wards. At least seven burn units across the nation have shut down over the past six years, partly due to consolidation but also because of the cost of treating uninsured patients, many of whom are connected to methamphetamine.
Burn experts agree the annual cost to taxpayers is well into the tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
Your public health dollars at work
Yet another reason not to have "free" medical care. Do meth; live with the consequences.
"The improvised system first emerged several years ago, partly in response to attempts by many states to limit or forbid over-the-counter access to pseudoephedrine. Since then, the shake-and-bake recipe has spread to become the method of choice."
Watch a new law will pass.... We'll need two forms of ID to purchase 2-liter sodas at the pharmacy now.
Good thing healthcare will be free soon.
That should clean out the gene pool...
Pardon me. Minor correction
Reminds me of the old Irish saying, "You'll know them by their limp".
Or "whisky plates" on chronic DUI convicts- stay far away from those cars.
The Food Nazis would like nothing better than an excuse to ban soda.
Meth is the most evil drug ever invented. It is producing lots of brain damaged people who are incapable of work...so they'll get an SS disability check you and me have to pay for. Death penalty for meth dealers is a good idea
See the post above yours; meth is candyland compared to that stuff..
What is krokodil?
I live in North Florida, where the meth biz seems to be booming, and when one of these "work accidents" occurs, the injured guy's buddies dump him on the ground in front of the door of the hospital and take off.
Real simple solution for this problem: Don't do drugs.
No sympathy here.
Krokodil: The drug that eats junkies
Yet another cost of the drug war. Churches and families can protect against drug use; governments can't. All they do is create an avalanche of unintended consequences: costs, crime and corruption.
Meanwhile, it has now become impossible to get the only over-the-counter medicine that actually helped my sinus condition.
In the libertarian delusional utopia all drugs are legal and everyone will live happily ever after. Drugs like meth and krokodil are extremely addictive after the first use. It turns users into psychopaths who will do anything, and I mean anything, to get their next hit. So don't be surprised when you are leaving your cocaine and ecstasy fueled orgy at 2 a.m. that you are mugged and killed by a meth addict. Do you know how to create a libertarian? Take a conservative and remove all common sense.
"Lets mix caustic household chemicals that react vigorously when exposed to air in a flimsy container within inches of our face, just so we can get high, drop out of society, fail at life and die young. What could go wrong?"
Meth isn't as evil as krokodil. Look it up... eww...
Ah, you beat me to it. Didn't see your post.
Looks like The War On
The Bill of Rights Some Drugs is having Unintended Consequences....
So we make drugs legal in the US.
More people start using the drugs , but they start seekin a higher level of high. Sothey start cooking these things in their kitchens. They add a littls gasoline sone paint thinner. maybe even a little propane.
Bathtub gin during prohibition was nothing compared thi this stuff, and if we m,ake drugs legal they can go buy the fixin's right over the counter.
Another argument against legal drugs. Legalising drugs is stupid.
A libertarian is a liberal who wants a tax cut
krokodil is as evil as meth...I hope it never makes its way to America. So far only Russians make and consume it.
Darwin often works in strange and mysterious ways.
But the butt-hurt libertarian haters have certainly swarmed out of the woodwork for this article...
According to this, the Meth heaviest-use states do not agree with the article.
Oregon #1, Hawaii #2...
With a link to the map version.
Im on a phone. Im not so savvy.
Sorry. I was not referring to your thread.
I was referring to the AP story.
It will get here eventually. Nasty stuff, but there's no shortage of people here that will go for it.
I had an acquaintance in college ("friend" is too strong a word, he was the roommate of a drinking buddy of mine) who was absolutely fearless. He tried anything, including just about every illegal substance known to man.
He once told us that "Crack" was the only drug that scared him, and that he'd never do it again. Said that he was high before he exhaled the smoke.
I've occasionally wondered if 1) He's still alive and 2) What he'd think of Meth and today's other drugs that make Crack look quaint and anachronistic.
I think that those who advocate for drug legalization equate today's drug use with a couple of joints of 60's Panama Red. Sez me, it sounds like the difference between shooting a bullet, and throwing it.
If all drugs are legal, everyone will not live happily ever after. Many people will kill themselves with drugs, perhaps even more than now. And gradually the addiction gene, if any, may diminish in the gene pool.
The one thing that will happen for sure is that drugs will be cheaper; there is no reason they should cost more than over-the-counter medications. And common sense tells me that is going to lead to less crime. You can argue that increased usage will offset this to some extent, but I am convinced that the net effect on crime can only be positive.

So first episode was pretty cool. I loved it.
It was really interesting to have a quiet girl be a heroine, and I'm wondering where it's going to go with her riding the Rideback. I immediately saw the two possible stories of "underdog against the government or rising through the challenges" and "replacing x sport with y sport". So far, it feels like either would be good. I'm hoping for a minor (very minor) romance plot to accompany the main plot, just to see how the characters evolve.

With the game clock winding down and one final shot left, you always want your most clutch player to have the ball leave their fingertips. The L.A. Lakers feed the ball to Kobe Bryant, the Miami HEAT get the ball to Dwyane Wade, and so on. The Utah Jazz, on the other hand, use a different approach on who should take the last shot.
"It doesn't really matter," Andrei Kirilenko told HoopsWorld. "I think we have a pretty expanded team. Anybody on this team has the possibility of making the shot. I think our best chance is when we stick together and play as a team; we've already proved it many, many times that when we stay together in one way or another, we play the best game."
"We have a lot of guys on this team who are pretty good in clutch situations," added Ronnie Brewer. "D-Will, in some games, has taken the last shot, Mehmet and Booze have taken the last shot. Sometimes Paul [Millsap] is in there; when we need a big shot, we'll put Paul in so he can take the ball to the basket and even Kyle Korver. So we have a lot of guys on this team that can make the big plays in big times. I think anybody on this team is capable of doing it so I'm confident in all of these guys to take the last shot."
Obviously, the Jazz are pretty confident in their teammates, but they all can't have their hand on the ball, so who is the leader of the pack of multiple options?
"Deron [Williams] is obviously our first option," said Korver. "But we have other guys that can get it done and if not, we have guys spotting each other on the side of the rim."
That seems to be the common trend around the Jazz locker room. Even though Deron is meant to be the set-up guy, the Jazz would rather see the ball fly out of his hands.
"D-Will," Carlos Boozer said quickly. "I think D-Will has proven to hit big shots throughout the course of the season. He wants the ball in his hands at the end of the game. He has the ball in his hands the entire game actually, so I'd say D-Will."
Deron plays for a franchise that has seen point guard great John Stockton set up shots time after time, but with a big-bodied guy like Deron, it's not always pass first and shoot later anymore. Matt Harpring, a long-time veteran gives his perspective on the differences of Deron and his former teammates, Stockton and Tim Hardaway.
"Deron is definitely emerging as a great player in this league," said Harpring. "And he'll continue to grow. The more experience he gets, the better he'll get at the game-ending shots, so he's definitely coming into his own.
"He's kind of unique in that he has kind of a big body for a point guard," continued Harpring. "I've played with smaller guys. I've played with guys like Tim Hardaway who is tall and lanky. He's [Williams] a little bit different than Stockton was. Stockton was lighter and smaller and Deron has a bigger body. He makes himself a tough match-up."
Head Coach Jerry Sloan, who has seen quite a bit more point guards in his time, takes some pressure off of Deron as 'the guy' and goes back to the 'whoever's open' attitude.
"Point guards don't always have to take the big shot," said Sloan. "They pass it to the guy that's open. John Stockton was here for 19 years and the idea was to run the offense, get the ball to the guy that's open, if no one's open you take the shot. That's what execution is about, not just trying to break one individual down all the time. I think that's what always gave us a chance to win a lot of games. I don't care who takes the shot, just as long as they make it. I look pretty smart then.(smiling)"
Seems simple enough, but who does Deron think can shoot the clutch shot?
"All of my teammates. I think all of them can make the clutch shot to win the basketball game."
If the opposing defense is to ever put pressure on Deron at the end of the game, an entire team of options to make the last shot is nice to have.

This is an collection of Inner Sanctum Mysteries, an oldtime radio show from the 1940s and 1950s. If you love a good horror story, you'll love these. You get all these (and many others plus more of the same genre):
Plus many more related shows from the same era. Relive the magic of oldtime radio!

"Worth the listen if you know what you're getting."
This is a collection of radio dramas. It is very long because it contains most of the episodes of the series. I found it generally fun and worth the listen especially while doing mindless drudgery. It was easy to listen to without getting lost since it is a collection of half-hour episodes.
Yes, and I have. I love re-discovering these old radio shows.
The shows are very old and in some cases not well preserved. Old Time Radio should spend some resources in restoring the sound. some episodes are unintelligible. Frankly with so many episodes, they could have left some of the worst preserved out. Also, the shows include the advertising in the original episodes. Its interesting to hear the commercials and sponsors of days gone by but not when they are in every single episode. I got really sick of hearing about Lipton Tea and Bromo Seltzer. Edit some out!
Pointless question.
You can't beat the value: 60+ hours of content. With the understanding that some of the material is (very) dated; the sound quality is not great (in some cases terrible because of the age and lack of preservation of recordings in the 30's to 60's); and some of the episodes are actually repeated because they were remade for later shows. Regardless, for one credit there is plenty to love here if (big if) you're into radio shows.
"Too much repetition"
I loved hearing the old radio programs but on some the quality is very poor wihich may be unavoidable due to the age of the recording. There are a lot of the stories that are repeated at least one or more times.

An external scholarship is a scholarship granted to a student from an external Donor. For example, a high school, church, or club.
Payment to Student's Account
External scholarship award(s) can be dropped off in person at Raider Connect or can be mailed to:
Office of the Bursar
Wright State University
3640 Colonel Glenn Hwy.
Dayton, OH 45435-0001
Please make checks payable to Wright State University. If the check is made payable to the student, the student must endorse the check. Unendorsed checks will delay payment of the award to the student's account. Please include the student's name, University Identification Number (UID) or last four digits of their Social Security Number on the check or a letter attached with the check to ensure it is posted to the correct student account.
External scholarship funds will not be credited to a student's account until the check has been received by the Bursar's Office. The full amount of the scholarship check will be applied to the current term the student is registered. The Bursar's Office does not hold funds to disburse over future terms. If the Donor would like the scholarship to be split between two semesters, separate checks need to be mailed prior to the Fall Semester and Spring Semester fee payment due dates.
External scholarships cannot be designated to pay for specific fees (for example, books, tuition, housing, etc.). External scholarships are posted as a credit on the student's account and any excess funds shall be issued to the student in the form of a refund. External scholarships are applied to a student's account regardless of their registered hours. If the Donor requires the recipient to be full-time, the Donor needs to request the student provide proof of full-time enrollment prior to the check being mailed to Wright State University. If the student does not enroll at Wright State University, the scholarship monies will be returned to the Donor.
NOTE: External scholarships are considered part of the student's financial aid package, and the external scholarship award(s) may effect other types of aid already awarded to the student. Upon receipt of an external scholarship check, the Office of Financial Aid will record the external scholarship as an additional resource and check for over-awards.
If you are receiving Post 9/11/Chapter 33 GI Bill benefits, please contact a VA Certifying Official in the Veteran & Military Center before applying for an external scholarship to determine how the scholarship may impact your benefits. Not all external scholarships are refundable.
Student/Donor Relationship
Wright State University believes any award granted to a student by an external scholarship Donor is an agreement between the student and the Donor. Wright State University encourages all communication and inquiry requests take place between the Donor and the student (for example, grades, proof of registration, billing statements, eligibility, payment dates and amounts, etc.). On a case by case basis, Wright State University will attempt to provide assistance when communications fail between student and Donor.

IronUp and Autism.
I have a two year old and a four year old that are autistic. They are hard to give medicine to but with the IronUp YASO Health I don't have much troubles because of the great grape flavor.
I like the grape flavor because it makes it easier for my kids to take.
I don't like that it discolors their teeth but if you have good dental hygiene it won't discolor. I usually brush my kids teeth after I give them the IronUp to prevent this from happening.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Deputy Blake Gardner is in the process of training a new drug dog named Oskar. His old drug dog, Enzo, is slowly easing into retirement life after 10 years of hard work for the Emery County Sheriff's Office. Deputy Gardner said, "Oskar arrived on June 8, he is a Dutch Shepherd and is 2-years-old. He came from Holland. He is not certified for patrol work yet, but he is certified in narcotics. He should be certified in patrol work by Thanksgiving. Enzo was certified in patrol, narcotics and SWAT. Oskar will be a dual purpose dog, trained in narcotics and patrol.
"In order to be certified they must pass obedience, agility, tracking, evidence searches, building searches, physical apprehension and the laying on of teeth in their training. He will bite and hang on until given the command to release. Enzo was trained to only respond to my command and Oskar will be the same way. Right now Oskar will go to some of the other officers, but when he is fully trained he won't do that any more. Enzo could sit in the middle of the floor and people would call him but he wouldn't respond to anyone but me.
"Oskar trains at the Utah Police Academy in Salt Lake and will be certified as a canine police officer. In Enzo's years with the Sheriff's Office he participated in seven apprehensions and seized more than $9 million in illegal drugs. For eight years, Enzo and I patrolled I-70.
"When Oskar searches and picks up the scent of the drugs he will scratch where the odor is the strongest. Oskar responds to commands spoken in the Dutch language. The funding for Oskar came from the Emery County School District and the drug task force. He cost $5,000. We've had a lot of help in preparing for this new dog. Christensen Ready Mix and Magnuson Lumber donated the materials for his new kennel at my home in Cleveland. He lives at my home and we're on the same shift. We are always on call to assist our office as well as other agencies needing assistance.
"He could help with search and rescue, but he is not a blood hound and tracks by ground disturbances only. The drive in the dog leads him to want to bite at the end, so he could only search by leash; because he can't differentiate between the good guys and the bad. We also visit the schools and do demonstrations.
"I will take him into the junior high schools and the high school and he will do random locker checks. The lockers aren't opened, but he could tell if the odor was there. He is trained in five odors, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
"I had an interest in working with a drug dog and talked to Sheriff Lamar Guymon about it. Deputy Martin Wilson had a dog named Alex for six or seven years before we got Enzo and it was just something I wanted to do. Oskar is not mean or vicious, but on command he will go and attack. If there are any problems within the jail facility itself with the inmates, Oskar can go and help. It's all just a game to the dog, he's not mean but he is capable of going and biting. As his trainer he responds only to my commands. When he is fully trained, when I tell him to lay down; he will be there laying down when I get back. He will also defend me if he thinks I am threatened.
"I really like this work and enjoy working with the dog. It's amazing to me what the dog will do and it is a challenge to get them to do it. You get very attached to the dogs, they make good companions because they don't talk back. Teaching the dog discipline is one of the most important things. When you tell him to do something you need to make sure he does what he was told to do. We don't feed him any table scraps or anything like that, then we know for sure when he goes in on a search warrant that he is only searching for drugs and not seeking out scraps and he's not distracted by food.
"It's fun for the dog or he wouldn't do it. Oskar always wears an electronic shock collar. This is so he can be controlled from a distance. It is like having insurance so I can be in 100 percent control of the dog at all times.
"I'd just like to keep Enzo at home until he dies. He's getting old and with his arthritis it's hard for him to jump up on cars and things like that. He'll just get to stay home and be a dog now, and I'm looking forward to working with Oskar for many years."

Danny VanWagoner, who now owns the Paul C. Christensen home in Castle Dale, held a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony of the San Rafael Bed and Breakfast that he is opening in the historical home.
The open house was held on Oct. 4 and Castle Dale Mayor, Neal Peacock cut the ribbon to officially open the San Rafael Bed and Breakfast. The home, located at 15 East 100 North, was built by Christensen in approximately 1906.
Christensen was the first dentist to serve the Castle Dale community and lived and worked in the home for 15 years. The home is listed on the historical register for its social and architectural value.
VanWagoner decided to do renovations consistent with the architectural style of the home. Van Wagoner believes that guests will enjoy their stay with him and it rivals accommodations anywhere for its unique look and atmosphere.

The Veterans Day Program at Castle Dale Elementary School was held the evening of Nov. 11. Mike Scow opened the meeting by announcing the Veterans Day program. He said it was a celebration of those who have done so much for us by serving in the armed services. Dave Brinkerhoff a Veteran and a member of the Utah Highway Patrol gave the opening prayer.
The flag ceremony and the pledge of allegiance was led by the Boy Scouts of America local troop. The Emery High School Choir presented a wonderful special musical number entitled "You Raise Me Up".
The Veterans video tribute by Wayne Roberts was shown by Willie Frisbie. For many years Frisbie has played taps on his trumpet at the funerals of veterans. In the awards ceremony veterans in the audience were asked to stand as their branch of service was called.
Then each veteran received a certificate of honor handed out by the Scouts. The statement on the Certificate of Honor read as follows: "This certificate is presented in recognition and grateful appreciation for your service in the United States Armed Forces in the name of freedom and democracy, and for allegiance to God and country in courageously protecting our liberty and independence."
Scow then spoke of the reasons why we celebrate Veterans Day and thanked those who have served and are serving their country. "Thanks to all those who fought for and willingly sacrificed to protect the freedoms of this great country," said Scow.
Following the close of the program refreshments were served.

Two Lips Cherub Sandals
"I just love my Two Lips Cherub Sandals. It's nice enough to wear for casual day time get together, or just to run around town to do your errands. It's extremely comfortable. It's my go to sandals when the weather is warm, which is almost always in the sunny California. The silver color is great, but I just wished it is available in purple, my favorite color. :) Thanks DSW!"

"I dont know what they were thinking making a sandal where the strap is so small they wont go on. I ordered a 7.5 and I always wear a 7 thinking the straps would fit better. No, that is not the case. You have to strech the strap and shove your foot in. It took me forever to find this shoe, I do not like the ones that go in between the toes, so I will keep working on these & hope for the best."

"I was not only disappointed with the sizing, but the sandal looks like a little girls sandal in person compared to the picture....not very good quality and DSW has a lot more items priced the same that I can choose from. This will be returned."
