Very accommodating for appointments, quick and friendly. Great deal! The cold air machine is a really nice benefit also!
Highly Recommended!
Jessica B - Apr 2, 2016
I just had my third treatment here & I'm super happy. Judi & her assistant are amazing! This procedure HURTS. There's no getting around it. But they do their best to make it as comfortable as possible. The cool-air system helps A TON. I also like the facilities. You can tell that Judi and her husband really took time to consider the environment. It's super clean, and I would even say "cozy." Tattoo removal is slow and painful, but I'm already seeing results, & Judi makes it bearable!
Highly Recommended!
J.B. - Feb 19, 2016
I just had my second treatment here, so I've got a ways to go yet... but I'm really pleased thus far. First, Judi & her assistant are super kind & friendly! 5 stars! The facilities are clean & inviting. I know this might be kind of a silly detail, but the warm colors actually make me feel more relaxed during an otherwise stressful procedure. I saw results even after just my first treatment. Nothing drastic, but that's to be expected. I think it's progressing very nicely... Super happy!

Wolfensburger Pass Hot Chocolate
Recipe by bullwinkle
I was asked if I would post some more recipes from my Kitchen Keepsakes cookbook. So, here is one. I haven't timed how long this take to make so they are a guess. The cook time includes time for it to cool. The recipe states this makes 15 ( 1/2 cup) servings but I have gotten only 12 ( 1/2 cup) servings.

I arrived at Charles de Gaulle on a Thursday morning to have a long weekend in Paris. It felt like my very first time.
After hopping in a taxi, I asked to go to La Maison Champs Elysées. Located a few steps away from Avenue Montaigne, the most fashionable street in Paris, the hotel was the perfect place for a three-day gateway.
After a warm welcome, the receptionist showed me around. Lucky me, I was shown to one of their elegant, stylish and new Couture Rooms. If fashion is a key word in your vocabulary, this is the place to be.
Re-launched in July 2011, La Maison Champs Elysées offers a new twist on classic Parisian hospitality. The hotel features 57 rooms, 17 of which are the aforementioned Couture Rooms. The name couldn't be more self-explanatory. Designed by Martin Margiela, the Couture Rooms are what makes this hotel very special. The first thing that comes to my mind is elegance, essentials, simplicity and… white. There are beautiful linens, a spacious closet (for all those shopping bags!) and large bathrooms. Each room is different, from the size to the small details, even if they are all decorated in white.
Some might have heard of the Curiosity Case Suite, a twist on the expected. Everything in this room is painted black. The walls, the parquet, even the sheets (have you ever slept in a black bed?). Curious is not only the color of the room, but the big closet in the lounge which displays various objects from all over the world. Its truly something you need to discover for yourself.
I stayed for one night only, but managed to catch every particularity of La Maison Champs Elysées. The restaurant La Table du 8 is something special when you first walk in. Almost surreal. Many details remind me of my room. White linens cover all the tables giving the the illusion they're floating.
Alas, it was time leave La Maison Champs Elysées, off to meet my friends Laura and Madlen, both coming from London. They jumped on the Eurostar and few hours later they were in Paris. Isn't it easy? As we had many things to celebrate, we had to stay somewhere special. We really wanted to experience Paris like a Parisian and so decided to stay in the best part of town, the 16th arrondissement, the capital's most elegant district.
We were very excited to see each other again and anxious to check into our residence for some much needed gossip. At La Réserve we were met by a very handsome concierge who showed us to our apartment and explained the details. This establishment has a daily housekeeper, exclusive valet parking, a home chef and a fine selection of wines and Champagnes. He explained that a broad range of five star hotel services are also available on request, including a professional chef who can handle all meal requests, special occasions, or receptions.
The fourth floor of the building has a large, fully-equipped kitchen with direct access to the dining and living room. Upstairs on the sixth floor were our three double bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms. Parfait. Each bedroom and living area is equipped with a large flat screen TV, but most importantly views of the Eiffel Tower. The interior is sleek and elegant topped off with contemporary décor.
Each morning, the housekeeper came to prepare our breakfast. Everything we had requested was there: fresh baguette, tea, coffee, orange juice, selection of cheeses and cold meats, smoked salmon and eggs cooked to our preference. Pure indulgence at our own pace. She offered her ironing services, which came in handy.
From that moment on we knew we would enjoy a relaxed and carefree visit in an environment that felt like home. Although we were quite tempted by the broad choice of in-home personal care services, we decided not to opt for the massages, hairstyling, manicures and pedicures. Paris was calling and we had shopping to do.
Those three days were truly magical. Made magnificent by real hospitality. Paris, I'll be back.

The Galápagos Way of Life
Life of the locals that seems to be overlooked
As tourists head over to Darwin's Research Center, they pass through a few hotels and families along the side of the street. Bicycles and motorcycles, or "motos" seem to be the most popular form of transportation around Puerto Ayora. Above is a father riding his daughter around in his bicycle. Where were they going? Who knows. Where are their shoes? Unknown of their financial situation, I wonder how they feel when they see tourists with huge backpacks and expensive cameras walk past them every day.
The Galápagos Islands - Untouched beauty or booming industrialization for growing tourism? Throughout my trip, I came across many sites that were under construction. This makes me wonder how the islands will be in the future. Will there be any "untouched beauty" left? What happens when the other islands become filled with people migrating from the mainland? I'm sure the government of the Galápagos and Ecuador would never allow that to happen.
Island Watchdogs
Dogs are among the many invasive species that have taken over the islands. Controlling these species, along with human migration, are the biggest challenges the Galápagos have to face every day. The policeman overlooks the boats from the port to make sure nothing out of the ordinary is occurring.
Here's how an average house in the island of Floreana looks like.
The population of Floreana is rather small with only about 100 people reside on this island. Above, the roof doesn't seem very sturdy and the front porch area seems to serve as an outdoor living room with chairs, shelves, and a hammock. It's very common to have hammocks in front of the house. Many people use it to relax or even people-watch. I'd assume Floreana is a place where a multitude of generations will be raised there and everyone knows everything about each other.
Childhood in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz has its' similarities with being raised in the states. Above, the young girl has on mickey mouse ears. This signifies the strong influence the United States' culture has worldwide. These children seem to be so carefree. The boy seems to be really concentrated on not falling off his tricycle while the girl gladly assists him. Would we ever see a group of young children alone on the streets in the United States? Probably not.
Then again, childhood in the Galápagos is very, very different from the United States and the rest of the world.
Once an untouched set of islands, people from the mainland Ecuador and the rest of South America began to migrate there because they sought opportunity in the tourism business.
What happens when people migrate and settle on the islands? They start a family. Schools and other businesses were built for the convenience of the locals. The Galápagos Islands are still a developing part of the world. Not everything is as commercial or at convenience for people like how it is in the United States.
There aren'y any set playgrounds for the children in Floreana, a less populated island than Santa Cruz. Above they are seen improvising and using material around their front yard to have fun. I remember walking past them and seeing them run around with a smile on their face. They seem to be happy with the little that they have.
Many migrate to the islands in hopes of working and making money off tourism. Everywhere I'd go in Puerto Ayora, I'd see an elderly looking woman along with a few family members (sons, daughters, husbands) running the stands and gift shops. I could imagine if you're not a tour guide, business owner, or working in construction, making a decent living in the Galápagos may be hard.
Meet Jacinto, a local tour guide in the Galápagos. He grew up in Puerto Ayora where he resides with his family. He has been a tour guide for years and was able to provide a ton of insight to the group at Rider, including information about the climate and land iguanas to places to visit that won't have many tourists.
When I asked him what made him become a "guía turística", he responded with although it's mainly to support himself and his family, he couldn't imagine having any other job. He's passionate about these islands and wants to inform as much people as he can about the Galápagos. In his free time, he enjoys surfing and exploring the islands.
The Galápagos is in fact a booming place to work and live for the Ecuadorians in the mainland. Do we continue the economic growth of the islands to accommodate the demand of tourism or put it on hold for the benefit of the nature and wildlife? It's a very difficult decision that Galápagos natives have to face every day.
With locals facing these types of decisions, it's imperative they have a proper government to lead them forward.
This shot was taken in front of our hotel. A peaceful rally was held for the then-upcoming election. This rally was in support of Leopoldo Bucheli Mora, mayoral candidate from the Movement of Provincial Identity (MIP) Party. People were riding in motos, buses, and trucks across town to the MIP headquarters. They were honking their horns while waving flags and donning shirts in support of Bucheli Mora.
On Leopoldo Bucheli Mora's campaign website, it states that if he wins he is willing to improve the following: Environmental, Economic, Social Cultural, Human Settlements, Mobility and connectivity and energy, and political institutions. Bucheli Mora won the election this past February.
"Biodiversidad somos todos" which literally translates to "We are all biodiversity."
I found this while roaming around Floreana. The saying pretty much sums up what the Galápagos is all about. The islands contain species of all kinds and a unique ecosystem. Like the rest of the world, from the locals to the tourists, the people you meet come from all over the world in all shapes, ages, and sizes. Despite the differences, everything and everyone seem to come together.
This is where I found all of the locals at night. This small strip just a few blocks away from the port was a place where people went if they wanted to have a delicious meal for cheap. At night, there was almost no room in the middle of the street because there were many tables out. And almost all of them were always filled.
Music was blasting in the different restaurants, people were laughing and smiling, and simply enjoying themselves here at Charles Binford Ave.
This was a Puerto Ayora favorite. Every night there would be different games being played. On many days, it would be volleyball while other days it would be soccer, basketball, or even skateboarding. An evening outing for the locals would be to come out and watch the games being played with their friends or family.
Meet Señora Norma Jeria Moya. Norma is an extraordinary woman I was able to befriend during my visit to the islands. She owns her own shop, in which she resides upstairs from, that is only open from Thursday to Sunday evenings. When I asked her why she was only open four days a week, she responded with the fact that she has two other jobs. She's a school teacher during the week and works at a marine reserve as well. On top of all those jobs, she still makes it home on time to cook dinner for her family every day.
We shared some great conversations each night about the island life in the Galápagos and what it's like to live in New Jersey and the rest of the United States. It's nice to know that if I ever decide to go to the Galápagos, she has guaranteed me a place to stay.
I'm glad I was able to spend part of my last night with these people. I met one of the guys a few days into the trip and he invited my friends to hang out and jam out to some tunes at the market.
Most of them don't have cell phones and barely use social media. Time or money doesn't worry them. The main thing that matters to them is the company of family and friends. Each night when they're done working at the gift shops, docks, tourist sites, etc., they meet up here with a couple of beers and all of the instruments and begin the singing the night away. The more, the merrier. What was theirs was ours.
The motto of Ecuador is "Ama La Vida" which translates to "Love Life." They're willing to share their native culture and island life with whoever is willing to listen.

Middlesex also offers an Intensive Academic English course (Pre-Sessional) that ranges from 5-17 weeks depending on your level of English. Successful completion of this course would meet English language entry requirements. For more information on applying for the pre-sessional please email email@example.com.
If you have achieved a qualification such as a foundation degree or HND, or have gained credit at another university, you may be able to enter a Middlesex course in year two or three. For full details of how this works see transfer students.
An Economics degree builds both subject specific and transferable skills, making it an ideal study choice for launching a career across both the public and private sectors: from banking and finance, to economics consultancy.
Economics graduates have progressed to work for leading companies, including: John Lewis, Nokia, O2, World Trade Group, Cyprus Government, IBM, Halifax, Natwest, Canadian High Commission, Arwens and Fratelli.
You could become an economist, accountant, analyst, or statistician and work across government departments and think tanks, banks (both high street and city), insurance and accountancy firms, private consultancies, and charitable and not-for-profit organisations.
We encourage our students to either undertake a paid work placement during their studies as a year long assignment between year two and three, or to undertake an internship; either full-time over the summer following your second year of study, or part-time throughout the course of your final year.
The paid, year-long work placement exempts you from paying tuition fees for the full academic year; ensuring you gain the necessary practical skills to embark on your chosen career.
Work experience in the form of placements and internships greatly improve graduate employment prospects, and students who take part achieve excellent academic results through applying their learning in a professional setting.
Our specialist Employability Service and London location ensure that every year our students and graduates gain prestigious placement opportunities.
Our Employability Service can help you to develop your employability skills and gain valuable work experience. We provide workshops, events and one-to-one support with job hunting, CVs, covering letters, interviews and networking.

You have a good connection with the camera, great eyes! Good looks. You just need better photographers to work with. Also practice daily so you can improve and show more emotions, facial expressions, etc.
over exposed...too bright.
over exposed...washed out details
over exposed, out of focus, bad crop
Just my novice opinion.....

If you want to work in this business and have a non traditional look, then it is important to balance the basics of marketing with personal expression and branding.
For anyone on the client side, we would have no clue as to what you look like today. Did you used to have a Mohawk and are now blonde or are you brown two tone? Are these wigs, etc... therefore we pass on you without a second thought. Not good.
Next the photos are awful. They do nothing for you. IF this is a hobby and you are having fun mm, then cool, if as your third person bio seems to imply, you want to make a real go of it, then understand your market, rise to the level of your competition and prove your worth to the client base. None of this is easy, but all of it is mandatory.

* Brazil Q3 GDP growth much weaker than expected * Brazilian electric utilities up on government offer * Brazil Bovespa falls 1.3 pct, Mexico IPC down 0.29 pct By Danielle Assalve SAO PAULO, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Brazilian stocks slipped on Friday after data showed Latin America's largest economy grew far slower than expected in the third quarter, though shares of electric utilities gained. Mexico's IPC index fell its most in over a week, while Chile's bourse gained for a second straight day. Brazil's economy expanded just 0.6 percent in the third quarter from the second quarter, according to government data released on Friday. That was half the pace expected by analysts and below all forecasts in a Reuters poll. "It was horrible, the number was half of what everyone was expecting, just very bad," Jankiel Santos, chief economist with BES Investimento in Sao Paulo. Brazil's benchmark Bovespa stock index fell as shares linked to domestic demand, such as consumer goods manufacturer Hypermarcas SA and retailer Lojas Renner SA slipped. Profit-takers sold off shares of steelmakers and mining firms. Favorable analyst recommendations and rosier hopes for a U.S. budget deal drove the shares higher in the previous session. Shares of steelmaker Gerdau fell 3 percent, while iron-ore miner Vale dropped 0.9 percent. Both stocks rose their most in over a month on Thursday. Electric utilities lent support after Brazil's government late Thursday offered greater compensation to the sector in return for accepting sharply lower power rates as part of a concession renewal deal. "Even though the amount was less than what the companies wanted, it's above what the government had proposed paying," said Joao Pedro Brugger, an analyst with Leme Investimentos in Florianopolis, Brazil. "This was a victory for them, albeit small, as they were able to exert a little pressure on the government." Shares of Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA, known as Eletrobras, jumped 20 percent and those of Companhia de Transmissao de Energia Eletrica Paulista, known as Cteep, rose 9 percent. Shares of Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras dropped 1.25 percent after the company cancelled an order on Thursday for drill ships, cutting its $76 billion new rig program by almost a fifth. Mexico's IPC index fell as gains by retail giant Wal-Mart de Mexico were unable to offset losses by telecommunications firm America Movil. Still, the index is on track to close the session with a nearly 2.7 percent weekly gain, its best since early July. Chile's IPSA index gained 0.24 percent as shares of fertilizer, lithium and iodine producer Soquimich rose 1 percent, contributing most to the index's gains.

Many schools only offer the school-leaving component of the IB, the Diploma Programme, but increasingly we are seeing schools taking on the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Primary Years Programme (PYP). The Diploma Programme (DP) is rapidly becoming the foremost pre-University educational experience. Top universities from around the world recognise its rigour and versatility, its stringent examination standards and its holistic ideals of independent thought, ethical guidance and international-mindedness.
The IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) is a post-secondary education programme, taken by students around the world between the ages of 16 and 18. It is an equivalent qualification to the UK's A-Levels, the US's AP exams, and the Scottish Highers System. The IBDP is internationally well-regarded, and can afford its students entry into universities and employment around the world.
The strength of the DP is in its depth and breadth. Students are immersed in a range of subjects (from six groups) and to depths of inquiry traditionally associated with programmes that have fewer subject requirements, for example A-Levels. The core components of the DP - Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Extended Essay (EE) and C.A.S - bolster the traditional subjects and consolidate learning, knowledge and, perhaps most importantly, thinking skills and their application.
It is the breadth of knowledge, married with the depth to which each subject is studied, that really sets the IB apart.
An IBDP student must take 6 subjects, as well as completing an independently researched Extended Essay, participating in Theory of Knowledge, and carrying out 150 hours of Creativity, Action, and Service. Only upon completion of all these components is an IB graduate awarded the full IB Diploma.
This is usually the student's mother tongue, and will require fluency in the language chosen.
Students can choose to take a language without prior study (ab initio), or can build on pre-existing knowledge of a language.
Students choose from a range of Humanities subjects, including but not limited to, History, Geography, Economics, and Anthropology.
Any of the traditional Science subjects can be chosen here, as well as Environmental Systems & Societies.
Students may only take one Maths subject, and can do so at a wider range of levels than usual.
The Arts choices include Visual Arts, Theatre Arts, and Music, and may be dropped in favour of another Humanities, Language, or Science subject.
All 6 of the IBDP subjects carry a subject 'level'; at least 3 subjects must be taken at Higher Level (HL), and no more than three are taken at Standard Level. Some students choose to take an additional HL subject, but it is advised to discuss this well in advance with your school or education provider. As a rough indication of the difficulty of each level, the IB advises approximately 240 hours of teaching time for HLs and 160 for SLs.
One of the IB's additional compulsory aspects is TOK (Theory of Knowledge). This, combined with the EE, constitutes the additional 3 bonus points that students may accrue. To fail both TOK & the EE is a failing condition of the Diploma, no matter the student's academic attainment. Theory of Knowledge is an interdisciplinary study in critical thinking and encourages discussion of the extent & limits of knowledge in an epistemological fashion. Students are assessed through an essay and an in-class presentation.
The other compulsory aspect of the 3 bonus points is the Extended Essay, a 4,000 word study in a subject and specific area of the student's choice. Although students are usually strongly encouraged to write their EE in a subject area that they already take, the World Studies EE option represents an interdisciplinary Humanities-based option which is not a stand-alone IBDP subject.
The final compulsory element of the IBDP does not give final IB points to Diploma students, but must be completed in order to attain the full Diploma. CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) requires students to undertake 150 hours of Creativity, Action, and Service over the 2 years of the IBDP, encouraging well-rounded and community-aware students. Rather than viewing them as another hoop to jump through such as the Duke of Edinburgh hours, they are a unique opportunity to gain credit for your interests outside of school, and it is for this reason IB graduates are so well regarded by Universities and Employers. You will be surprised by how much you can already sign off, almost anything can 'count' for CAS. Though it seems taxing at first, completing CAS hours will turn out to be a welcome excuse to get a break from studying, and embrace new and old hobbies!
The IBO prides itself on the Learner Profile of its students. The aim is to nurture students who are "principled", "risk-takers", "open-minded" and "thinkers". The organisation's dedication to creating a community of life-long learners well-versed in the values of citizenship and moral practice is clear.
The programme offers a chance for the all-rounder to shine, whilst simultaneously providing those with a clear focus of their ambitions with a worthwhile grounding for further study - no skills are lost too early, and universities and employers are the first to acknowledge and appreciate the knowledgeable, balanced and hard-working student that the IBDP helps to nurture.

IT was a storm in a beer mug. Only it threw up the dross of racial discrimination that floats under Mumbai's cosmopolitan facade. Cafe Leopold created a furore on June 19 when it denied two South African ladies entry into the pub ostensibly on racial grounds. Though the management retracted its statement later, racial discrimination became a cause celebre with everyone, from director Shyam Benegal to actor Sunil Shetty, denouncing it. The National Human Rights Commission dashed off a showcause notice to state chief secretary P. Subramanyam, expressing shock "to read that the two stewardesses of South African Airways were denied entry into the bar of Cafe Leopold at Colaba only because they were black. As prima facie this constitutes a serious violation of human rights, suo motu cognizance is taken". It instructed Subramanyam to submit his report by August 4, failing which "the commission may proceed to take such action as it deems proper".
Cafe Leopold insists it was a flash in the pan that flared up. Reconstructing the incident, Farhang Jehani, one of Leopold's coproprietors, said two South African women entered his cafe at 2 pm that day. While they were waiting for their parcel order, two men who, according to Jehani, had been drinking beer since noon, walked up to the girls, requesting them to accompany them to the pub. "My waiters tell me the girls were initially unwilling, but were persuaded after a while." When the waiter refused them pub entry, the two men "tried to pick up a fight with my uncle Rashid Dohmiri who'd had a particularly harrowing day due to a surprise excise raid. In a moment of irritation he said what he did." Which amounted to barring "entry to African Blacks" into the permit room. And to specify "Kenyans, South Africans, and Nigerians" were particularly unwelcome. While the embarrassed girls left in hurt silence, "the boys left after threatening to insult us tomorrow".
Which they did by going to the press. Since then the complainant, variously described as Manoj Shetty and Hormuz, has yet to resurface to clear up Leopold's allegation that he "was trying to pick up the girls and that Dohmiri just said that to get rid of the two boys who had a habit of getting drunk and picking up girls". The girls, reportedly with South African Airways, are also now incognito. Cafe Leopold, recommended by Lonely Planet to international tourists, has been given a clean chit by the Association of Restaurants and Hotels (AHAR) which found it a lapse caused more by momentary irritation rather than ingrained racism.
"But if he wanted to get rid of the boys, why insult the black girls?" asks P.A. Sebastian, a human rights activist who, along with activist Colin Gonsalves, two years ago set up an African students' panel after Nigerian student Dola Abiodun Tunde was shot dead by Mumbai's anti-narcotics cell. Following the incident, 5,000 African students had protested against the "differential treatment based on race and ethnicity and a deliberately biased application of criminal procedures with excessive police torture" of black undertrials as opposed to that of other foreign prisoners. The two activists, along with African students, while accepting Leopold's explanation, complain of the pervasive racial discrimination blacks face in their day-to-day interactions in Mumbai.
Says Sebastian, a regular at Leopold: "Management permission has to be taken by stags if they want to enter the pub. But they may turn away blacks while permitting whites. Now let's accept the management's reasoning that it disallows guests from crossing over to the tables of strangers to prevent the cafe from becoming a pick-up joint. But this happens only with black students; whites are allowed such casual friendships."
SUDANESE student Dave (name changed on request) who had a similar brush with Leopold stopped frequenting it. "My friend and I were talking to two German girls at the next table. Since we had to speak loudly to be heard, the girls suggested we move over. The waiter said we were not allowed to do so." While Leopold may be doing this to avoid the tag of a 'pick-up joint', nothing explains why Dave wasn't allowed entry into another pub HQ, also at Colaba, while his Indian friends were. "Fortunately, the guards let me in for five minutes. I ran after my friends to tell them about my problem. They left along with me."
Michael, leader with the Nigerian Students Committee and a student at NIIT, says even speaking to Indian girls invites abuses. "The girl's often made to feel so vulnerable that she wants to shift elsewhere. Sometimes Indian men follow us for a distance, somehow threatening so that even female classmates feel embarrassed to be seen speaking to us. I've had people throw stones at me when talking to Indian girls. Once, right outside the hostel where I'm staying."
Sebastian relates how a taxi driver, once seeing him with a bunch of African men, asked him: "Saab, why do you mix with these types? I never stop for these kaala log." A syndrome that afflicts even paanwallahs who often turn away these boys. Recalls Sebastian: "Once I was at Gokul when a waiter insisted a group of African students pay before eating. When they protested, he said a few weeks ago one African had left without paying up! Would he try this with Indians?"
Khalid Yahya from Sudan has to put up not just with kaalia and kaala bhoot calls, but also endure some Indians reaching out to feel his hair and body while travelling in a train. "Somehow they make you feel out of place, as though you aren't wanted here," he says. Dave and Michael have withstood similar assaults. "When they see an African man they think he's only made for sex. While travelling to Bandra in a local recently, I tried to make room for a very decent-looking man. By the time the station came the man had groped me all over. A similar incident occurred again, this time with the man urging others in front to push me. I lost my temper," says Michael. Dave says he has had men follow him several times, making jeering and abusive gestures. Once at a restaurant while he innocently returned the smile of an Indian stranger, the man sent a note across which read: "I love Africans. Why don't you join me?" An African student was allegedly beaten up in the university for resisting such advances.
Once Michael was asked to get up from a seat in a Bandra train, while another time he got into a fracas for simply giving a torn rupee note in a bus. "While the conductor abused me, others shouted at me to get off. There are five million Indians in Nigeria. They are not discriminated against. Why are we being treated so badly in this country?" asks Michael plaintively.
John, studying economics at Wilson College, is by now used to people jumping away from him "as if I was somehow dirty". His first day at college was an emotional nightmare. "Nobody would sit in the row where I was sitting. Even as the rest of the class filled up, my row continued to be empty. In a class of 40 students only one had the decency to come and introduce himself." He faces similar behaviour at restaurants where he's served last even if he's the first to enter it, or have salt and pepper given after the food is all served. Sometimes he has to walk off without water, which is not given even if requested for. And face the continuous flood of abuses. "Even if I can't be abusive. And if I can't speak Hindi, it's because I've no Indian friends," says he.
Says activist Gonsalves: "Racism is ingrained in the Indian psyche. Even the judicial system is prejudiced. Not only do they believe all blacks are criminal elements, they use outdated racist terms like 'Negros'." "Racism is a problem even Indians face. If you check with the colleges you'll know that over the last four years, there has been a significant drop in the number of students coming in here from African countries. The stories we carry back aren't pleasant," says Michael. Adds he: "I, for one, will never allow my brother back home to come here."
(The African students spoken to were willing to be identified only by their first names.)

[TechKnowledgy 2014] Free Technology Tools for Struggling Readers
[Virtual TechKnowledgy 2014 Webinar by Jennifer Mitchell]
[Virtual TechKnowledgy 2014 Webinar by Jennifer Mitchell]
Unfortunately, students who struggle with reading have a history of failure and usually do not have the background knowledge they need to succeed. Technology can help struggling students become productive, independent, and achieve while accessing the general curriculum. To encourage our students to become life-long learners we should guide them to self-select the technology tools that are most beneficial. This session will demonstrate free and low cost tools that are available to ALL students. We will answer the questions: what reading tools? who can use the tools? and when can the tools be used?

Home world of the Protectors. The Clock was the first superhero to emerge in this reality, followed closely by Nightmask. Both were non-powered heroes who used firearms, wits and martial arts to fight crime. The Amazing-Man was the first super-powered hero, and other super-powered heroes followed shortly thereafter. As America entered World War II, The Clock and Nightmask decided to give up superheroing and enlisted, feeling that the powered heroes could fight crime better than they ever could.

'Home Is Where the Heart Breaks'
By EDWARD HIRSCH
By Czeslaw Milosz. Translated by Czeslaw Milosz and Robert Hass.
By Derek Mahon.
By Seamus Heaney.
. B. Yeats wrote: "We make out of the quarrel with others rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry." In "Provinces" Czeslaw Milosz continues his own running argument with himself about the nature and character of experience. He surveys the country of old age even as he summons memories of his provincial Lithuanian childhood, confirming his first vocation -- "To glorify things just because they are" -- even as he tallies a lifetime of displacements and losses. "Ai, my dead of long ago!" he laments: "Nobody remembers you, nobody knows about you." He recalls coming "From a remote province, / From a remote continent / Where I had learned the nature of the State."
"Provinces" presents a lucid, deceptively straightforward, haunting self-portrait. "You would like to hear how it is in old age?" he asks at the outset of the 13-part sequence, "A New Province," and the question reverberates throughout the volume. So does the answer. "Certainly, not much is known about that country / Till we land there ourselves, with no right to return." The poems about old age, like Rembrandt's late self-portraits, have a penetrating honesty, the character of reports from a strange front. The poet is amazed by what has befallen him: curious, appalled, enraged, bemused, bewildered. He cannot reconcile himself to the faltering body. Not even his much-vaunted art, "the only remedy for sorrow," not even leaving behind a few "durable" verses seems compensation for mortality. Deprived of harmony, he refuses to "pretend to the dignity of a wise old age," or to turn away from life.
Yet there is a powerful dialectical tension, a metaphysical dispute at work in "Provinces," about the conflicting claims of immanence and transcendence, the temporal and the eternal. "I am submerged in everything that is common to us, the living," he declares, praising the ordinary physical realm, naming what is good: "Gloria, gloria, sing objects called to being." Nonetheless, he finds himself entering "the age of the mind," remembering the faraway past and acknowledging what Dante calls "the inborn and the perpetual desire . . . for a God-like domain," always remaining conscious of the "steel-gray nothingness" that lurks "in the very brushwood of existence." Death is everywhere in these poems, an encroaching absence. Hence the concluding prayer of "Either-Or": May we not care about what awaits us after death But here on earth look for salvation, Trying to do good within our limits, Forgiving the mortals their imperfection. Amen.
In "Provinces" Czeslaw Milosz continues exploring his own version of the meditative lyric, refusing to rest on his laurels or to be imprisoned by his "Collected Poems 1931-1987," which surely is one of the monumental splendors of poetry in our age. Consequently, he joins the ranks of other great poets of old age, such as Robert Penn Warren and W. B. Yeats himself.
Derek Mahon is a key Northern Irish poet trying to "achieve a synthesis / Of the archaic and the entirely new." The stately, measured quality of his verse often belies its discordant subject, the essential dislocation and cultural estrangement at the heart of his enterprise. He writes, as he notes, with "the curious sense / of working on the circumference." He is an ironic, self-questioning, skeptical outsider with a sensitive historical antenna, critical of his native Ulster Protestantism, alienated from Roman Catholic Ireland. There is a highly traveled quality to these poems as the poet moves between places, continually turning away from and then back toward his divided country.
"Selected Poems" brings together the best of six principal volumes: "Night-Crossing" (1968), "Lives" (1972), "The Snow Party" (1975), "Poems 1962-1978" (1979), "The Hunt by Night" (1982) and "Antarctica" (1985). It includes a fine group of verse imitations -- poems written freely in the mode of such French poets as Gerard de Nerval, Rimbaud and Corbiere. There are variations after Rilke and Pasternak, poems about artists (Uccello, de Hooch), philosophers (Heraclitus, Wittgenstein) and emblematic writers in exile (Brecht in Denmark, Ovid in Tomis). These cosmopolitan poems stand as a kind of esthetic counterpoint and corollary to meditations set on solitary beaches and wasted places, in disused sheds and abandoned garages where he hears silence reverberating, the plaintive voices of the lost and forgotten.
"Selected Poems" follows an arc from the opening lyric, set in Carrowdore Churchyard at the grave of Louis MacNeice, to the concluding one in memory of Albert Camus. Mr. Mahon is a poet of memorials, of necessary departures and guilty homecomings, of self-lacerating wit and existential grief. "What middle-class twits we are," he tells a fellow Irish poet in "Afterlives," "To imagine for one second / That our privileged ideals / Are divine wisdom." He then describes returning home by sea after many years: And I step ashore in a fine rain To a city so changed By five years of war I scarcely recognize The places I grew up in, The faces that try to explain. But the hills are still the same Grey-blue above Belfast. Perhaps if I'd stayed behind And lived it bomb by bomb I might have grown up at last And learnt what is meant by home.
Elsewhere he recognizes: "home is where the heart breaks."
In Derek Mahon's exemplary poems displacement is all. History lurks in every shadow. And home is an elusive concept, a region of dark reckonings, a ghostly, alien domain.
"Seeing Things," Seamus Heaney's new collection of poems, is a book of thresholds and crossings, of losses balanced by marvels, of casting and gathering and the hushed, contrary air between water and sky, earth and heaven. "Where does spirit live? Inside or outside / Things remembered, made things, things unmade?" the poet asks. These questions are given special urgency by the death of his father, whose memory hovers over the volume. As he tries to hold this and other spirits in place he finds himself caught between realms. The title, "Seeing Things," refers both to the solid, fluctuating world of objects and to a haunted, hallucinatory realm of the imagination.
The book commences with a translation of one of the most famous passages in Virgil's "Aeneid" that suggests the burden of the collection. When Aeneas prays to the Sibyl of Cumae for one more meeting with his departed father, "the way down to Avernus is easy," she tells him, explaining the golden bough: "But to retrace your steps and get back to upper air, / This is the real task and the real undertaking."
"Seeing Things" is divided into two sections. Part One is mostly elegiac. The poet listens to Philip Larkin's shade quoting Dante, summons up his "undrowned" father walking into the yard ("His step unguided, his ghosthood immanent"), and lovingly recalls a host of dead friends, among them the painter Edward Maguire, the archeologist Tom Delaney, the biographer Richard Ellmann, the poet John Hewitt. Sounding "the music of what happens" has always been central to Mr. Heaney's project, but here he finds himself burdened by existence itself. The turning point is the concluding sestet in the sonnet "Fosterling": Heaviness of being. And poetry Sluggish in the doldrums of what happens. Me waiting until I was nearly fifty To credit marvels. Like the tree-clock of tin cans The tinkers made. So long for air to brighten, Time to be dazzled and the heart to lighten.
Time is indeed dazzled and the heart lightened in the long poem "Squarings," the second half and principal glory of the volume. This highly symmetrical, solidly rigged poem consists of 48 12-line poems arranged in four sections of equal length, each proposing a dominant metaphorical and meditative terrain: "Lightenings," "Settings," "Crossings," "Squarings." An ambitious, dialectical poem of the mind, "Squarings" is Mr. Heaney's attempt to "Secure / The bastion of sensation" and capture luminous moments, to take the measure of time by coding images and reading portents from the past, to squint into sunlight and credit the marvelous. It is a visionary poem of memory and supposition, of "seeing things" and things seen.

ARLINGTON, Texas – Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre said Friday that he's going to play for the Dominican Republic in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Beltre, 33, batted .321 with 36 homers and 102 RBIs for the Rangers in 2012. He also won his second consecutive Gold Glove at third base.
Beltre played for the Dominican Republic in the WBC in 2006, but did not participate in 2009. Beltre talked to Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, who has said earlier this offseason that it's up to the individual player if they want to compete in the WBC. Beltre said it's an important event for his country.
"The fans over there in our country, they take a lot of pride in what we do here," Beltre said. "Obviously, it's the biggest sport in our land. I don't think they're happy the way the last two WBCs ended up. I think guys have a little edge. They want to prove they are better than what they showed the last couple of WBC and I'm hoping to be a part of that."

Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her - how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way.
Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car.
But when her mother abandons her the day after her 16th birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way.
Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself.
Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.

It was an interesting and really weird story...Maren is a tough little cookie...good thing or she would have never survived this...
The ending when she warns him....the ending line of this book was awesome!
I have listened to several of Julia's performances...she was actually the reason I gave this book a chance....and I am glad I did!
I dont think this is an appropriate question for this book..LMAO!!!!!
** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **
This is an interesting take of cannibalism in everyday society...Maren has been this way since birth, causing her mom to move around all the time to protect her child....well when Maren turns 16...her mom has had enough and leaves her to fend for herself...leaving a note saying she was sorry, and some cash with Maren's birth certificate....Maren goes in search of her mother, and her unknown father...meeting others like her along the way and learning there is more people out there like her than she had ever known..

Big Finish for Last Year's Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Squad
Patrick Michels
More photos here in our slideshow.
For most fans, there isn't much of the last Cowboys season that'll be remembered too fondly -- but for the team's cheerleaders, who gathered up for one last time for a year-end performance last week, 2008 drew a tearful adios.
The crew of dancers, some of whom are undoubtedly headed for bigger and better things next year, put on an elaborate two-hour show onstage at the Bass Performance Hall Wednesday night in Fort Worth, where the seats were filled with friends, family, and flocks of young dancers.
Along with the main attraction, and their riffs on football, freedom, and what it's like to be a cowboy, the show also included a few numbers from the Junior Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, video biographies on a few dancers, and a ventriloquist song-and-dance number. One of the puppets was dressed as a cheerleader too.
All of which is just to explain a few of the things you might be wondering about when you check out our slideshow. And yes, that's the *audience participation* part of the show where you'll see the big guy with a feather boa around his neck.

By Jim Forsyth SAN ANTONIO, Feb 23 (Reuters) - With a growing number of U.S. Baby Boomers reaching old age, there's a risk of a significant increase in highway fatalities, according to a report. Currently, just over one in six licensed drivers in the United States are 65 and older. But that figure is tipped to reach one in five by 2025, according to the study by TRIP, a transportation industry-sponsored research group that works to improve highway conditions.

Iraq's "Day of Liberation" – as George W. Bush called it – was supposed to begin with a bombardment consisting of 3,000 U.S. missiles delivered over 48 hours, 10 times the number of bombs dropped during the first two days of the Persian Gulf War in 1991.
Iraq War as War Crime
Bush's Dirty Secret: Bribing Iraq Insurgents Not to Fight
It is impossible to keep up with all the Bush regime's lies. There are simply too many. Among the recent crop, one of the biggest is that the "surge" is working.
The real purpose of the "surge" was to hide another deception. The Bush regime is paying Sunni insurgents $800,000 a day not to attack US forces. That's right, 80,000 members of an "Awakening group," the "Sons of Iraq," a newly formed "US-allied security force" consisting of Sunni insurgents, are being paid $10 a day each not to attack US troops. Allegedly, the Sons of Iraq are now at work fighting al Qaeda.
US Marines deploy in south Afghanistan
Some of the 3,200 U.S. Marines slated for a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan's volatile south have begun arriving at the region's largest base following a call from Canada for more troops there.
Iraq invasion was "successful endeavour"-Cheney
U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday declared the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a "successful endeavour" in a visit to Iraq that was overshadowed by a suicide bombing that killed at least 25 people.
"If you look back on those five years it has been a difficult, challenging but nonetheless successful endeavour ... and it has been well worth the effort," Cheney told a news conference in Baghdad after meeting Iraqi leaders.
TVNL Comment: For Cheny, this is a success. Disaster was the plan. Stealing Iraq's oil was the plan. Creating a situation where the US was forced into spending it's wealth to enrich Cheney's friends in the defense industry was the plan. Invading Iraq has been a success for the people who live on war. It is a success for Cheney.
Tories call for full Iraq inquiry
Speaking on BBC1's Andrew Marr show, Mr Hague said "clarity" was needed on the future for Britain's deployment in Iraq.
And he demanded: "It is very important to commence the full-scale Privy Council inquiry into the origins and conduct of the war, because if we are not going to start it now, five years on from the beginning of the war, then when on earth would we have such an inquiry?
Toxic world fallout from Iraq invasion
"Bush's foreign policy has been a failure and it will be judged on Iraq. He will bear responsibility for an unnecessary and costly war that violated international law, alienated allies and distracted us from the core issues of terrorism, Afghanistan and stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.
"This has to be the worst managed foreign policy of any president since the Second World War. Even if in the medium term Iraq becomes comparatively peaceful, would it be worth the cost? I do not think so."
U.S. Troops Kill Iraqi Girl On Roadside
U.S. soldiers shot and killed a young Iraqi girl after firing a warning shot at a woman who "appeared to be signaling to someone" along a stretch of road where several roadside bombs had recently been found, a military official said early Thursday.
