Brazil 70 – After Tropicalia – New Directions In Brazilian Music In The 70sVarious
CD (Item 464545) Soul Jazz (UK), 1970s — Condition: New Copy
A much-needed look at the post-Tropicalia years in Brazil – a time when cultural activity wasn't as politically explosive as before, but still continued to thrive at a highly creative level underground! The work of these years carries many inspirations from the Tropicalia years of freedoms – but it also often turns the focus towards the personal a bit more – drawing on individual roots and regional cultures for some of the elements in the music, and often pushing the sounds towards even more experimental levels! Some of the straighter modes of before have given way to more of a hippie aesthetic – but that approach is never nearly as self-indulgent as it is in the US, and more just an indication of how underground some of the musicians and ideals have gone by this point. As usual with Soul Jazz titles, the collection comes with great notes that really get at the music and the period – and the CD features 19 tracks that include "Amor" by Secos E Molhados, "Tinindo Trincando" by Novos Baianos, "Punhal De Prata" by Alceu Valenca, "Passara" by Jaime & Nair, "Sai Do Sereno" by Gilberto Gil, "Corista De Rock" by Rita Lee, "Sete Cahorros" by Nelson Angelos & Joyce, "Ingazeiras" by Ednardo E O Pessoal Do Ceara, "Contendas De Sincora" by Mar Revolto, "As Adventuras De Raul Seixas Na Cidade De Thor" by Raul Seixas, "Pontos De Luz" by Gal Costa, "Mane Joao" by Erasmo Carlos, and "America Tropical" by Novos Baianos. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Independent UK rom-com about Tom, a local gardener who moves at a lethargic pace when it comes to matters of the heart. But when he falls insatiably for gorgeous Polish au pair Anya, the entire village gives him the push he needs to win her heart. A truly homegrown effort, almost the entire village of Kingston Bagpuize in Oxfordshire was involved in the making of the film. Young mums helped with the sales and publicity. Retired folk provided the drivers and props. The local Women's Institute organised a catering effort, and all the cast and crew were lodged in village homes for the duration of the shoot. In return for its spectacular voluntary effort, the village owns a 'Golden Share' of the film meaning that clubs, schools and societies will benefit from any future profits.

3. | Gilgamesh | ||
Something or someone epic beyond words, such as Gilgamesh himself. Something or someone worthy of having an epic written about them/it. Example 1: Billy Mayes was the most gilgamesh pitchman ever.
Example 2: Those shoes are just gilgamesh. |
1. | gilgamesh | ||
Gilgamesh was an historical king of Uruk in Babylonia, on the River Euphrates in modern Iraq; he lived about 2700 B.C. ...For ur info he's not a gimp!!!! Read some books:) What more do you want!!!! He's a historical figure
2. | gilgamesh | ||
An adaptation of the Epic Of Gilgamesh hero, meaning something along the lines of mega awesome or pwnage. "I just got us tickets to the Wailers."
"That's fucking gilgamesh, man." |
4. | gilgamesh | ||
Noun: (alternatively Gilga)
Gilgamesh was the name of a World of Warcraft avatar played by a wife who was using the VoIP service Ventrilo to cyber with the male players of other avatars in her husbands guild. When the husband posted this information to the WoW Onyxia server forums, the entire ordeal engulfed the WoW community over the weekend of 8/10/2007 before ultimately being quelled by forum moderators. There is some reason to believe the entire story was faked, however, the name Gilgamesh has become synonymous with cheating, loose women in the WoW community. That blood elf chic is a total Gilgamesh, she gives hawt ventsecks.
5. | Gilgamesh | ||
1. noun. A villian in FF.
2. adj. Used to describe something pointless. 3. verb. To spam. Needs more Gilgamesh!!!
6. | Gilgamesh | ||
The name for a very large penis. A person who has a large penis may name it this. chick 1: "Hey you see that guy over there?!"
chick 2: "Yeah? chick 1: "Well i totally saw his Gilgamesh when he banged me last night!" "There's a chick over there! Are you ready for this Gilgamesh?" |
7. | gilgamesh | ||
The god of rock!! also the word mesh can be used as an adjective when something is beyond awesome. Also you can use the prefix "Gilga-" with other words. Gilgamesh is more of a state of mind then a word or character. You must earn the right to be in the presence of Gilgamesh. To truly understand this phenomenon is beyond your control. He must communicate with you using a medieval process referred to as hairot...that can only be learned after completing the memorization of the Greek alphabet. n. "I'm feeling something in this room, Gilgamesh is among us."
v. "Dude that is so mesh!!" prefix. "Those beans are Gilgastuck." |

So I have a question... (which I hope might stir up some discussion)
It seems a very 'nice' thing to do to go in & be with prisoners, or to write to them & help them to deal with a life of (for many of us thankfully) unimaginable stresses. ...seems humane, compassionate and all that. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it (& personally derive great satisfaction & personal benefit).
But I'm concerned. What happens when people get out, or get ready to get out. I know that at least in my area, the residential dharma centers require folks to be 'out' and 'readjusted' (for a period of at least 1 year) prior to applying to be residents in a practice environment. I'd hazard that most of the folks I know currently or recently um 'released' from residential dharma facilities entered from very unstable places [recent divorces, depression, job transition etc.].
While I don't imagine that dharma centers could HOLD all of the folks who are making the transition from the 'inside' to um, the 'inside', I believe we have a responsibility to the folks with whom we have cultivated relationships. If you have been working with a serious practitioner over the course of YEARS, isn't there a commitment that could extend beyond the confines of the institution?
Folks need our support even more as they make the transition to the so-called 'free world'. (And honestly, I imagine that making the transition from prison life to monastery life might just be EASIER than making the leap from the corporate world to monastery life. I'd like to see more openness to welcoming a well grounded member of our prison sanghas into our outside institutions with the same rigor and questioning that we might have for other residents (rather than the flat policies I've seen). Is having a prison record enough for you to want to exclude someone from YOUR local sangha? Do you know?
Are there practice environments out there in the rest of the US that have less strict policies than the ones I've run into?
What responsibility do we as a community have to the people we as individuals and 'vassals' of institutions support?
Does YOUR community have a 'policy' on parolees and/or recently released? Are you in alignment with this policy?
Wonderful insight on that last paragraph! I like that idea! And agree with it if that's what an abbot or whomever decided. The term "adjustment" period in this topics beginning makes me think that one particular center sees it differently than that, but certainly your idea here has a lot of merit to it.
And I like the idea of a probationary period. I believe they do that in Plum Village, as well as the Theravada one I checked out. Interestingly the Theravada wouldn't let you do long term residential unless your main focus was Theravada.
I couldn't imagine taking in anyone without a probationary period, really. Never know. And before that period surely there'd be some past familiarity necessary between all.
Onegaishimasu, a good thing to keep in mind is that while some individuals can't fit in some communites, some communities can't fit into an individual's life. Plum Village didn't or wouldn't work for Claude Anshin Thomas, but he kept going and found a way for himself to share himself with others. A teaching that worked for me and still works is Koyo Kubose's admonition to: "Keep Going."
In gassho,
Onegaishimasu, I met a former catholic monk who now runs a print shop. One day he said to me: "If Jesus was here now on this earth, would you follow him? I wouldn't." I had to agree that I probably wouldn't follow him either. Each person finds their own way. What was difficult then is difficult now. I think this is the best way to understand the world situation.
In gassho,
Thank you for telling me about Prem Rawat. At this time, I do not feel that I would benefit from following his path.

Starting a business usually involves committing personal finances, no more so than at the beginning, when banks are loathe to extend credit.
Women and minorities are offered tactics for honing their approach to angel investors, who are largely white and male, from an entrepreneur who consults in the field.
Angel investors have been banding together in groups, a development that benefits both the financiers and the companies they fund, says a former entrepreneur who chairs the nation's largest angel network.
Angel investors are funding companies at the seed and start-up stage, as venture capitalists retreat from that market, says an angel investor and former entrepreneur.
Raising capital at any stage of a company's growth is challenging and requires creativity and tenacity. However, these hurdles are especially difficult to conquer at the earliest stages of an enterprise's development, the author says. This article discusses where and how to raise capital at the seed level and growth stages.
Convertible debt and a discreet amount of bank credit are available to entrepreneurs seeking substantial loan financing for early-stage ventures, says a company founder turned private investor.
No growing company survives and prospers without some debt component on its balance sheet whether it's a small loan from family or friends or a line of credit from a regional commercial lender.
Small business owners must become literate about their company's books without becoming accountants in order to deal with CPAs, keep on top of operations, and prevent fraud, says the co-founder of an accounting services firm.
An important area of financial literacy for entrepreneurs concerns the ability to establish an effective commercial banking relationship and to prepare a loan proposal. No small or growing company survives and prospers without some debt component on its balance sheet.

7. | Pootie Tang | ||
1. | pootie tang | ||
An underrated and often overlooked movie about a Blaxploitation type character who fights crime with a belt and speaks in nonsense words that everyone understands. Pootie always respects the ladies. He is like a surreal Undercover Brother. Sa-da-tay, my damies! Pootie says "Don't baaaang tha dillies!" It's a movie title and the name of that movies main character. Do you really need an example?
2. | Pootie Tang | ||
greatest movie every, pimp, smooth, mack, ice cold. i gots to say da nae nae

I gonna sign yo pity on the runny kine.
Sa-da-tay, my Daimee. runny kine??? Don't ask... I don't know either.
4. | pootie tang | ||
Definetly the greatest movie ever! Pootie fights crime with a belt and speeks a funny ass language that everyone understands. Hes a rapper, super hero, and a role model. Sada-tah
wada-tah capah-town your my main damie |
5. | Pootie Tang | ||
The best ultimate player ever. Pootie Tang made a sweet bid for that disc.
6. | Pootie Tang | ||
1.) A role model human being, someone everyone should aspire to to follow in moral compass as well as style. A Pootie Tang knows when/where/why/how to act like a bad-ass motherfucker in a respectful and proper manner while being a role model for children and treating the ladies with respect. Slick dancing moves, fly clothes, and and ass-whippin' belt aren't required but are certainly smiled upon.
2.) A BAMF, but respectful and proper one at the same time. 3.) A character from the popular film "Pootie Tang" played by Lance Crouther. In the film Pootie tang is a Super Hero who help save the people of Chicago from Lector Corp., an evil corporation that sells fast foods, cigarettes and alcohol to children. Throughout the film Pootie Tang teaches right from wrong, whips bad guy's asses with his belt, and talks complete jibberish because he is jut too damn cool for words. 4.)Abbriviated form: P-Tang 1.) Wow man, that Chuck Norris is almost a regular Pootie Tang!
2.) JB: That Pootie Tang, boy he is just one bad-ass motherfucker, he is just so fly and awesome and he always kickin' somebody's ass, and treatin' the ladies all nice like and goddamn we talkin' 'bout coolness off the meter! Lacey: Yeah and he's a BAMF too. 3.)Quote from Movie-- " Pootie Tang will draw you a picture of how he gonna kick your ass, then mail it to you ten days in advance. The picture gets there right? You're goin', "What the hell is this?" and then Pootie Tang knocks on your door, Promptly kicks your ass and you still won't know what happened to you!" -JB 4.) Yo P-Tang can you come help me with this real quick? 5.)Just ask yourself, "WWPTD"-- What Would Pootie Tang Do? |

BRADEN RIVER — With an air of discipline that would have made their old coach proud, the Braden River High School football team hit the field for spring practice May 1.
The practice was the first of the year and just one day removed from Josh Hunter's resignation from the sideline. And although no one could've blamed them for crumbling from the recent tragedy they endured, the Pirates marched onto their practice field in determination.
Interim head coach Ed Volz ran the team through the basic drills that will become the routine for the Pirates next season. And, with the exception of the unison handclaps that echoed off the surrounding trees, the coaches yelling instructions and the pounding of cleats on grass, the field was silent.
All were focused on football. Coach Hunter wouldn't have had it any other way.
The news of Hunter's resignation came about a month after the tragic death of Assistant Coach Doug Garrity.
According to Florida Highway Patrol reports, Hunter was driving his Ford truck at about 11:50 p.m., March 21, at the on-ramp to Interstate 75 at State Road 681 in Nokomis. The truck veered off the road and overturned after Hunter failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway, Florida Highway Patrol Public Affairs Officer Lt. Chris Miller said.
In the weeks that followed, Hunter tried to resign on several occasions. But instead of accepting it, Athletic Director Bob Bowling urged Hunter to continue.
"He came to me and said, 'I can't do it,'" Bowling said. "I said to him, 'Don't tell me that. What would you tell one of your players if he came to you and said, 'I can't do it?''
"It was hard, because of course, I had compassion for him, but at the same time, I put my foot in his back and told him to get back to work," Bowling said.
Hunter pressed on as hard as he could.
"Some days, you'd go down there, and it was like he was back to his old self," Bowling said. "Other days, his arms would be folded and he'd say, 'What am I doing here?'"
Finally on April 29, Hunter and his wife met with Bowling.
"He told me again he couldn't go on," Bowling said. "He said that the teaching didn't bother him but the coaching did — that's where his heart was. He said he was sorry that he was letting me down, letting the kids down and letting the school down. But I told him — he wasn't letting anyone down.
"Josh did everything he could to overcome this, but nobody really knows what he's going through," he said.
Bowling met with the team the following morning to tell them the news.
"Coach is like my second father," said Pirate Chris Garcia. "It's a sad day for a program on the rise."
Pioneer Pirate
Hunter was tapped to start Braden River's football program when the school opened in 2005. Hunter played high school ball at Southeast High School before heading to Division I-AA at Eastern Kentucky. Before Braden River, Hunter coached at Lakewood Ranch.
"When we first hired him, we were looking for someone who was big on discipline — that was one of our biggest things," Bowling said. "He taught those kids right. He taught them that there was a right way and a wrong way to act, and he set a good example for them."
Rallying around their coach, the inaugural Pirates built Braden River's tradition for gridiron excellence almost immediately. Last season, the Pirates earned their first playoff berth and even beat favored Palmetto in the Class 4A-Region 3 quarterfinal game.
"He started our football program, and he has done everything we've asked him to do," Principal Jim Pauley said. "He established a first-class program. It's a huge loss for us."
In many ways, Hunter personifies Pirate pride. His papa bear stature appears menacing but hides a soft side that touched many students on and off the field.
"The general public doesn't understand what coaches do for kids," Bowling said. "Some of these kids don't have parents, or don't have a dad, and coaches fill that void. Sometimes, that's the only person they gravitate to. And he was there for all of them.
"He gave them a lot to hold on to," he said. "And with all the tragedy we've experienced, I don't want them to forget that part."
Moving forward
Although Hunter will no longer be on the sidelines, he will remain a physical education teacher at Braden River. Volz will serve as interim head coach this spring.
"We're going to keep things going the best we can," Bowling said. "And slowly, we'll put the Band-Aids on. We've preached being a family here from day one, and right now, that's what we need."
Pauley agreed.
"There have been a lot of tears shed, and there's no playbook here to tell us how to handle this," Pauley said. "But like a family, we have to draw together and do what's best for our students. That's our job."
The Pirates are scheduled to play their spring game May 28 against Riverview.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) � Sitting on a dirty straw mat on the parched ground of southern Afghanistan, Masooma sank deeper inside a giant black shawl. Hidden from view, her words burst forth as she told her side of what happened to her family sometime before dawn on March 11, 2012.
Lindsay Lohan, Nicolas Cage, Pamela Anderson, Kim Basinger and Dionne Warwick have more in common than just a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. They're all part of the riches to rags club—celebrities that have managed to go from millions in the bank to flat broke—and OKMagazine.com has the rundown on what's behind stars' falls from financial grace. Lindsay Lohan's many legal woes, stints in rehab and outstanding IRS debts have left her financially in the hole It seems hard to believe that one day you can have a fortune, and the next day nothing, but it's happened to a multitude of actors, actresses, singers and athletes Media finance expert, Mandy Calder, weighs in on the subject, explaining how it's possible to go from big bank to bankrupt.. literally overnight. OK! News: Find Out What the Real Housewives Get Paid "It's a combination of several factors," Calder tells OKMagazine.com. "Mismanagement plays a huge role, along with overspending, poor financial planning and an inability to believe one day you may no longer be commanding the huge salary you currently are, that you'll no longer be a star. "A lot of celebrities believe their own hype—believe they are more talented than anyone else and that they will be top of their game and in demand for the rest of their lives. Both Pamela Anderson and Nicolas Cage have managed to blow through fortunes, forcing them to file for bankruptcy "Big mistake! For probably ninety-five percent of celebs that just isn't the case. You're going to shine bright and earn the big bucks for a relatively short period then you're likely to have a career, and demand lull, and your earnings are going to suffer accordingly. "A lot of celebrities believe they're never not going to be a star, they start living the lifestyle—private jets, huge homes, entourages, crazy shopping sprees, champagne, parties, the A-list life—and in a way, they kind of have to live that lifestyle to be seen as being a star. RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN SPOTTED TOGETHER AT JAY-Z CONCERT "I mean, if you're just shopping in Walmart no-one's really going to be interested, you've got to be seen to be buying the right things and going to the right places because that increases your star value…which in theory means you will earn you more money in the future. "But, when the big paydays dry up and you're still living that life, you're in major trouble. Stephen Baldwin filed for bankruptcy in 2009, his ex-sister-in-law, Kim Basinger, filed in 1993 "What happens quite often, particularly I think with music stars, is they're often a big huge success then it tails off very quickly, because the industry is very fashion orientated—they're like one hit wonders or something— then, they don't have any income coming in anymore. "So, having committed themselves to living the A-list lifestyle they no longer have any money to support it. A lot of stars just don't realize they have a very limited shelf life." Watch: One Hit Wonder Girl Songs from the 2000s Another major financial pitfall is the dreaded tax bill. "The classic way stars go broke is from tax demands," Calder says. "They don't put any money aside for their tax bill and that's what the majority of them end up being bankrupt by….they haven't put aside for their taxes and when the time comes around they've spent all their money and they have nothing else coming in and they have no money to pay up. "With musicians as well, they often get a record advance—a large lump sum. They sign up for record deal, get a lump sum in advance, but again what they don't appreciate is that not only do they have to pay tax on that, but there's no more income until that advance has been recouped. Teen idol Corey Haim was 'broke and destitute' when he died at age 38 in 2010 "So, say they get half a million dollars in advance, there's no more income until they've sold probably 3 - 4 million dollars worth of records because, obviously, off that comes management fees, marketing, advertising, expenses and they have to recoup the advance sum, so chances are they're not going to see any more income for two or three years after their initial advance, and they're limited in what they can do to earn money elsewhere as they are signed to a contract. "Some of them, that's their only hit anyway.. so they don't earn any more income period." Kelly Rutherford Files For Bankruptcy After Bitter Custody Battle Leaves Her Broke Another issue is that many stars just have no interest in the whole financial side of their business, and although they enjoy earning and spending the money, they have no interest in keeping track of their finances—often placing blind trust in their management team to do so on their behalf—leaving them open to opportunists taking advantage of them. "Elton John is a prime example of a star being taken advantage of," Calder explains. "He actually took his former manager of 23 years, who was also his ex-boyfriend, to court to try and recoup the millions of dollars he claims were mismanaged by him. Anna Nicole Smith was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1996, Dionne Warwick filed earlier this year "Elton John discovered he had a $20m hole in his finances and had no idea what his money was being spent on! During court proceedings there was a shocking run down on Elton's overspending and mismanagement of his finances—he was actually paying more than $75,000 a month in interest payments to the bank, despite him having a net worth in the mega-millions. "Elton famously wouldn't look at his accounts himself, and when his accountant handed them to him he would just rip them up..he just wasn't interested in the accounting side at all. OK! GALLERY: NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, DAVID BURTKA, ELTON JOHN & DAVID FURNISH HIT UP ST. TROPEZ WITH THEIR KIDS "In court, the defense said to Elton, 'well you must of known what was being spent on what' but he didn't, he didn't have a clue! "For instance it came out that he had blown through $60 million in a 20 month period—$455,000 in one year on flowers alone—and Elton had no clue! "Luckily for Elton John his fortune is so great, and he continues to earn the big bucks, so it didn't ruin him, but a lot of smaller range stars aren't so lucky." When Elton John took his ex-manager to court for mishandling his finances it was discovered he had blown through $60 million in 20 months!

BACK TO THE FUTURE was one of my favorite films of the 1980's. I saw it many times theatrically, even more on video. I spent the summer it came out on a skateboard (which I bought because of the film), listening to the Huey Lewis filled soundtrack on my Walkman.
However the sequels never really had much impact on me. Part 2 was kind of fun, but I didn't care for Part 3.
It wasn't just the films themselves not being as good as the original, there was something off about them.
Part of it was because of an unanswered question I always had.
Why did Michael J. Fox have a different girlfriend?
Elisabeth Shue replaced Claudia Wells, who played Jennifer in the first film. It had nothing to do with Shue or her performance. In 1989, when Part 2 came out, Elisabeth Shue was a favorite of mine. If I was to name my top ten films at the time it would include BACK TO THE FUTURE as well as two of Shue's films, KARATE KID and ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING.
But Claudia originated the role. It wasn't the same without her. Seeing the final scenes in Part 1 recreated in Part 2 with a different actress was wrong.
Before the internet, and before ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, we just had to guess as to why the change in actresses. It became equally mysterious as, since BACK TO THE FUTURE, I haven't seen Claudia Wells all that often.
I always wondered what happened. I decided to look into it.
Before BACK TO THE FUTURE, Claudia did a lot of episodic TV work. This led to her starring in a pilot for an Ed Asner sitcom in 1984 called OFF THE RACK.
According to one report, Claudia was then cast in BACK TO THE FUTURE during its first incarnation. This was when Eric Stoltz was to play the lead. After being cast, her sitcom OFF THE RACK was picked up for six episodes. So, she had to drop out of the film.
Actress Melora Hardin, today best known as Jan in THE OFFICE, took over her role.
As well all know, the producers decided they didn't want to go with Stoltz after beginning filming. They cast Michael J. Fox instead. Then it was thought that Hardin was too tall to play opposite Fox. By this time, OFF THE RACK had been canceled so they brought back Claudia.
The rest is history. BACK TO THE FUTURE came out and was a smash hit. It was loved by critics and audiences alike. As Marty's girlfriend, Claudia had a few important scenes in the film, especially the finale, flying off to the future with Marty and Doc.
Claudia went on to star in a few more TV shows, including the TV version of FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH.
She played Linda, the Phoebe Cates role.
In 1989, the first sequel came out. Only, Claudia wasn't in it.
Why she wasn't there has been the subject of much speculation. If you read various websites, you will hear all sorts of different reasons. It wasn't even mentioned on the first DVD release of the films.
The real reason, according to Claudia herself in an internet posting (that I was able to confirm by emailing her) was a sad one.
Claudia was asked to return to the sequels, but sadly, her mother was sick with cancer. She couldn't go and film with that going on in her life. Some things were just more important than movie roles.
They then went with Elisabeth Shue.
So, What Ever Happened to Claudia Wells?
Claudia left the business and has gone into retail.
Since 1991, she has owned Armani Wells, a "stylish, high-fashion men's apparel" store in Studio City CA, selling clothes for "60% to 80% below retail value". You can visit their website here.
In an internet posting in 2008, she wrote the following.
I am very blessed and happy with a 12 year old- almost 13- son, named Sebastian. I have a thriving men's resale shop in Studio City, California, called Armani Wells. in Studio City. This week marked was our 17th year at the same location. www.armaniwells.com. I still have a love for acting and haven't closed that door. In Febuary, a film I starred in with Ian Hart, called 'Still Waters Burn' comes out. Bottom line, I love my life, it's turned out beautifully, even without having done the sequels! Family is very important to me and God has always taken care of me and my son.
Here is a current photo of Claudia and a DeLorean from her website.
In an email, to make sure the above posting was really from her, she responded that it was. She added "I own a woman's resale shop in Studio City called Claudia Wells at 11288 Ventura Blvd, SC, CA 91604. 818-985-5855...My men's store is now 18 years old and my son is a straight A, remarkable young man, who's 14!"
She hasn't completely given up her former career. In addition to starring in the independent film STILL WATERS BURN (which is available on DVD and at Netflix), she has appeared at fan conventions. In her new role as a fashion consultant she appeared on the VH-1 reality show AMERICA'S MOST SMARTEST MODEL.
When you think about it, raising a family and running a business, that has been in the same location for almost twenty years, especially in this economy, is more difficult than a film career.
Not to mention it is also more rewarding.

It's an opportunity to remind children about maintaining good dental health. The month of February is known as National Children's Dental Health Month and dentists across the country are educating parents and kids about the topic. Our Brad Vivacqua has the details.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- We all know that maintaining a health smile for a lifetime begins when children are young. In recognition of Children's Dental Health Month, Fidelis Care is joining dental providers across the state to educate parents and kids about dental health.
We visited one dentist who has been talking to parents about staying on their children about brushing and flossing. He says there's a connection between good oral hygiene and overall health and wellness.
Here's some tips that parents can follow to help their kids maintain a health smile. Kids should be brushing at least twice everyday and clean between their teeth. Children should also limit snacks, eat nutritious meals, and visit a dentist regularly.
Members of Fidelis Care say there's no reason not to get your child to the dentist.
Dr. Gideon Ochiabuto of Quality Family Dental said, "The only way you can clean between the teeth is to floss. So, parents should also supervise and have their children do that. Flossing and brush twice a day."
Fidelis Care Marketing Director Tom Julian said, "It's just a reminder out there that the programs we have, Family Health Plus, Manage Medicaid, Child Health Plus, they all cover dental care. With little or no cost so people should get to the dentist and live a healthier lifestyle."
Parents and teachers are encouraged to visit the American Dental Association website to learn more tips and information regarding dental health.

Research in the section explores broad population biology questions relevant to patterns of malaria transmission and vector control. Ecological, behavioral, genetic, and molecular approaches are used in our research. Studies are conducted at National Institutes of Health facilities in Rockville, Maryland, and at the Malaria Research and Training Center (MRTC) in Bamako, Mali. The MRTC is the result of NIAID's long-term collaboration with Malian scientists and physicians at the National School of Medicine. The MRTC is now a well-equipped, highly productive program where research is led and executed by Malian staff.
Research at the MRTC is focused on malaria but also addresses other vector-borne diseases, such as leishmaniasis. This exceptional research center provides NIAID researchers with unique opportunities for field-lab studies. In our research projects, we seek discoveries that improve understanding of phenotypic diversity in vector species, its adaptive value, and epidemiological consequences.
Major research questions include:
Inquiries about predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships are welcome.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi EMC 2415 Teardown
Teardowns provide a look inside a device and should not be used as disassembly instructions.
We got our hands on Apple's newest tablet, the iPad 2 on March 11, 2011. Follow us on Twitter to get all the latest updates.
Check out MJ's video analysis of all the cool stuff we found in the iPad 2!
- View:
- Single page
Edit Step 1 — iPad 2 Wi-Fi EMC 2415 Teardown ¶
Finally!!! The iPad has come back to iFixit! And this time, it has a 2 at the end of its name, hence the iPad 2!
After a much awaited debut, the iPad 2 is expected to fill in the gaps left by the first generation iPad.
Tech Specs:
1 GHz Apple A5 dual-core processor
512 MB of LPDDR2 RAM
16/32/64 GB internal storage capacity
9.7" LED-backlit glossy Multi-Touch display with IPS technology (1024 x 768)
HD (720p) Rear-facing camera + VGA Front-facing camera
Edit Step 2 ¶
A thickness comparison. You can definitely see the tapered edge of the iPad 2 when it's side-by-side to the old version.
Our guess is there are no more clips holding the front panel in place -- now it's glued à la 4th Gen iPod Touch.
With the iPad's new tapered-edge form factor, big iPod Touch jokes are sure to run wild.
Apple summarized the changes in 6 short phrases. "Thinner. Lighter. Faster. FaceTime. Smart Covers. 10-hour battery."
The 10-hour battery life is the same as the original iPad, but it's impressive considering the device is also thinner, lighter and faster.
Edit Step 3 ¶
A new model number graces the iPad 2: A1395. Thank you, Apple! That's much nicer of you than the twenty-six billion iterations of MacBook Pros you called model A1286.
Apparently, the iPad 2 is not as 1337 as the original iPad.
The sole speaker grate can be found on the bottom-left of the back of the iPad 2. We're not fans of mono, but stereo will have to wait until iPad 3.
Edit Step 4 ¶
Without further ado, let's begin tearing this iPad 2 apart!
Unlike the original iPad, it looks like we need the help of a handy dandy heat gun to remove the front panel.
With the adhesive loosened after a healthy dose of heat, we go to work on prying up the front panel with a plastic opening tool.
Edit Step 5 ¶
And just like that, it's open. No clips, just tons of glue.
As much as we hated trying to remove the clips in the original iPad, this much adhesive is even more of a pain. Be ready to crack your front panel if you dare open it! We'll be investigating the best way to get inside over the next few weeks.
Edit Step 6 ¶
A few screws here and there hold down the LCD screen. Not a problem for the iFixit's 54 piece bit driver kit.
Edit Step 7 ¶
Lifting off the LCD exposes the iPad 2's battery; A 3.8V, 25 Watt-hour unit. That's just a hair more than the original iPad's 24.8 Watt-hours, so any improved battery performance can be attributed to software and other hardware improvements.
Also listed on the battery is a capacity of 6930 mAh, which may appear to contradict the already mentioned 25Wh at 3.8V ((25Wh/3.8V)*1000=6579 mAh), but 3.8V is the listed nominal voltage, not the average voltage. The average voltage of the battery over a full charge/discharge is closer to 3.6V leading to a more accurate calculation ((25Wh/3.6V)*1000=6944 mAh).
After disconnecting its cable, the display can be removed from the iPad 2.

HCG EZ Drops' new synthetic HCG formula has surpassed natural HCG in quality, effectiveness, and safety.
Orem, Utah (PRWEB) October 09, 2012
HCG EZ Drops has unveiled their new HCG diet drops formula, which is said to work as well as the traditional formula, but without the hormones. HCG diet drops are designed to help individuals lose weight quickly, without exercise. The traditional drops contain hormones that were originally discovered in pregnant women.
It was found that those specific hormones targeted stubborn fat deposits in the body, especially around the waist, hips and thighs. "Since some individuals aren't able to take hormones or who are worried about how the hormones may react with their individual body chemistry, we felt adding a hormone-free option was essential," says founder Dave Sherwin.
"The hormone-free version of HCG EZ Drops works just as effectively as the traditional formula, but is designed for individuals who want a version without the hormones. Users can still lose weight just as fast and without the exercise or starvation that most of today's fad diets demand." Individuals who do the HCG diet will typically utilize the drops a few times per day, especially right before meals.
There is a strict diet plan that individuals are supposed to follow while taking the drops, because the drops convert the body's fat stores into usable fuel, delivering approximately 2,000 calories per day. Men and women then take in between 500 and 800 additional calories from their diets each day.
According to research, those taking the HCG drops should experience between 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss per day, although that number may differ from one person to another. HCG Wellness, LLC provides health and wellness products specifically designed to help individuals lose weight quickly and meet their weight loss goals. Those interested in the non-hormone version of HCG diet drops should visit their website at http://hcgezdrops.com.

Aveo Pharma: 'Crossover' Ate My Kidney Cancer Drug Survival Benefit
Updated with stock price.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (TheStreet) -- Final overall survival results from the phase III study of Aveo Pharmaceuticals' (AVEO) kidney cancer drug tivozanib were released Tuesday night, and as expected, tivozanib-treated patients were at a greater risk of death than those treated with Onyx Pharmaceuticals' (ONXX) Nexavar.
At the median, the difference in survival was just two weeks. Tivozanib-treated patients reported a median overall survival of 28.8 months compared to 29.3 months for Nexavar patients.
However, when overall survival in the study was analyzed over two years, the relative risk of death was 25% higher in the tivozanib arm relative to the Nexavar arm. [Hazard ratio = 1.245.] While survival trended against tivozanib, the greater risk of death was not statistically significant.
Aveo has struggled for months to assuage investor concerns about the confounding results from the tivozanib study in advanced kidney cancer patients. Tivozanib met the primary endpoint of the study by delaying tumor regrowth by almost three months more than Nexavar (11.9 months vs. 9.1 months.) However, this significant improvement in progression-free survival favoring tivozanib did not help patients live longer. Last August, shares of Aveo fell from $14 to $8 when the company first disclosed FDA's concerns about the confounding survival analysis from the tivozanib trial. Aveo shares closed Tuesday at $7.89 but were down 11% to $7.04 in early Wednesday trading. Aveo believes overall survival of tivozanib was snake bit by a study design that allowed patients treated initially with Nexavar to receive effective, subsequent therapy, including tivozanib. Of the 257 patients who started the study on Nexavar, 74% "crossed over" to receive treatment with other kidney cancer drugs, including tivozanib and other so-called VEGF therapies like Pfizer's (PFE) Sutent or GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) Votrient. By comparison, 36% of the patients treated initially with tivozanib went on to receive additional kidney cancer drugs, including 10% who received subsequent VEGF therapies. In certain smaller subsets of patients, overall survival trended in favor of tivozanib over Nexavar, the opposite of what occurred in the study as a whole. Some of these alternate survival analyses were pre-defined in the study's statistical analysis plan, while others were not, a company spokesman said.Select the service that is right for you!

June 04, 2010 | Tips from Travellers > Hope, Climbing & Caving
View a larger image on flickr.com
Recently I had the good fortune of checking out REO Rafting Resort near Boston Bar. What a great place! Not only do they have whitewater rafting down a range of Class 1 - 4 rapids, but a bunch of other activities - all set in a remote, wilderness location.
Besides the good food (and it was really good), I loved the rock climbing wall. They have a relatively easy, outdoor wall (although be warned - it looked easier than it actually was, as I found out first hand!), tucked away in a forest clearing, with a couple of different "routes" to challenge yourself.
Even if you aren't into rafting, be sure to check out the rock climbing and other amenities at REO Rafting Resort.
(Oh, and the picture above is of me scaling the wall, horrible technique and all! :) )

Also in this episode: Indian industrial giant Mahindra announces that it will not sell trucks in the United States, the acclaimed racing documentary Senna is now available on Blue-ray and special guest Dax Shepard drops by the Autoweek studio ahead of his upcoming movie.
What do Aston Martin and Mahindra have in common? And the Senna documentary hits Blue-ray. That's right, this is a slightly different episode of Autoweek TV. Plus, we've got a special guest star coming up who's a legitimate gearhead. You'll have to stick around for that.
I'm Greg. Let's make it happen.
Aston Martin cracked the top off the V12 Vantage roadster on Wednesday. It packs 512 hp and the stunning good looks. The engine is naturally aspirated. There's a sport mode, and, as expected, lots of carbon fiber.
Just 101 copies will be produced, Autoweek has learned, and none are coming to the United States.
Speaking of that, let's talk Mahindra. Aston Martin to an Indian truckmaker? It's a natural transition, right? But like the V12 Vantage roadster, Mahindra will not be coming to the United States, at least anytime soon. The industrial giant said this week that it will not sell trucks here, citing the state of the current market and regulatory changes. The company has failed to win required approvals to sell its truck here.
And on a lighter note, the much-praised Senna film has just come out on Blue-ray. It won the Best Documentary award at Sundance and chronicles the life of Formula One star Ayrton Senna. For the back story on the movie, head to autoweekracing.com.
Now I'm going turn things over to Dax Shepard. He stars in the hit show Parenthood on NBC, and he's got a new car movie coming out called Hit and Run. Enjoy the trailer, and enjoy the drive.

Firstly, I do not see anyone "tampering" with the thread. I see a suggestion made that perhaps in order to do multiple subjects justice, that there be a split of the 2 main discussions. While it is true that using some of the current/past conflicts is necessary to illustrate a point being made, there may be merit in having a separate thread (as Michael and Seeker both noted) for discussion of the current military incursions and our actions/reactions as druids. Perhaps a split is not the answer at this time, but limiting the use of a particular situation for illustration of a point/opinion is. Otherwise, the main topic of discussion (which seems to me to be whether military service is compatible with a druidic lifestyle) will be derailed into a detailed discussion of some of the current military incursions and will take away from the discussion at hand.DJ Droood wrote:I wonder how Brianna feels about having her thread tampered with?
In other words, no one is using any heavy-handed moderation as those participating in the discussion are playing nice and not running with scissors. However, it might be easier for those reading and participating to stick to one discussion at a time.
