. It's a pain that is
to the touch on the left side of his neck. Doesn't look swolen and doesn't feel light a knot. It hurts or is sore when he turns his head. Don't think it's a pulled muscle-he said it just feels sore right around his throat area, but on the outside. any ideas on what this could be?

Then it feels like it is swollen. I've had problems with the left side of my neck just swelling when I get nerveous. I can take a tylenol or just calm down and all is well. Should I be concerned?

Also, I have a knot in my right nipple that was
for about 2 weeks before my period. The swelling has went down but the
is still there and makes me nausaus to touch. I was trying to see if it had went away by feeling both nipples at the same time. I had my daughter 4 yrs ago and still have milk. Something that looked like pus or yellow milk oozed out and then blood. Now when I go to check it's still blood. I've had it going on 3 weeks now. Do you know what it may be?

I once found a similar "knot" on the bottom in back of my neck. It turned out to be a sebaceous cyst (covering over a cyst with a normal body tissue that we have) Another reassurance the doctor told me that if it was moveable, it was a good sign. I could finger the outline and was able to slide it around in very short distances. It never got larger. I forgot about it. Years later I realized that it went away. This is just a comment, not a diagnosis is intended.

For a while, I had a recurring sore throat (more like the little "knot" feeling you get just before it becomes very sore). My voice also came and went... got very hoarse and then would return, unexplicably and without rhyme or reason. Long story short, when I was finally diagnosed with a hypothyroid condition and began treatment, the sore throat feeling and hoarse voice discontinued, as well as major clinical depression I had suffered for 4 years. Just a thought; one never knows...

For the past few weeks I have been having trouble sleeping. I had a
form on the back of my head on the left side, right at the base of my hairline, maybe a couple of inches from my ear. It was sore, hot and 2 or three inches around. I have no idea how it got there. It stayed on my head for about three days and was only sore for the first day. It went away on its own.

Again, no bruising and it doesn't appear to be a

pain on the same side as the bad shoulder which started a few days ago. It's like it's adding a new spot every day or so. My lower back is now starting to mildly hurt. Am I being paranoid or could there be something wrong? I had some Excedrin Back & Body at my house, so I took some of that which helped for a few hours.

I have a small lump on my
, it is on the right side about halfway up. It is quite small, probably not much bigger than a pea and it feels like it is located on the neck muscle (of course I suppose it could be behind it and pushing the muscle, I am not qualified to say but I don't think so). I have played sport before and it feels to me exactly like the kind of scar tissue you can get after a pulled muscle.

in : Allotments
I usually enjoy those first couple of weeks in September after my holidays, when things are starting to get autumnal. Then all of a sudden, without rhyme or reason, I feel I've had enough...
Where does the old season end and the new one begin? For allotmenteers it can feel like something of a continuum - these days you can buy excellent plug plants of winter lettuce and oriental greens that will take you right through winter, if you haven't got round to planting more traditional vegetables like sprouts and parsnips.
I usually enjoy those first couple of weeks in September after my holidays, when the dahlias are still in full swing and things are starting to get autumnal. Then all of a sudden, without rhyme or reason, I feel I've had enough. Out come the bean poles, then goodbye sunflowers and good riddance courgettes.
Then there's the question of what to do with the glut of tomatoes. This year I decided to invest in a passata machine having enviously seen a friend's one in action. Once you've tasted home-made passata, you will never go back to the shop-bought variety again - the vibrant taste is incomparable. I also like freezing batches of tomato soup which can be pulled out at unexpected moments to share with friends.
Our current favourite is tomato and rosemary soup. Just place a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan on medium heat, throw in about a kilo of tomatoes cut in half, add half a pint of chicken stock (or vegetable bouillon), three stems of rosemary, three large crushed garlic cloves and a pinch of chilli powder (the chilli should be a faint taste). Keep on a medium heat for around 45 minutes then use a hand blender to liquidise about half of the soup. Pass the lot through a sieve, add salt to taste, then serve with crusty sour dough bread.

Congratulations on the new blog Lila! How exciting!
I can relate to that feeling of "having enough". It's one of those things that comes naturally when in the garden. As seasons change you realise certain things have to go and the clear out begins, only to be replaced with the new.
I don't think I've ever seen a passata machine? I think I will have to investigate it now.

My children are counting down the days to summer vacation.
I smile at their joy, but I'm also worried.
It's no holiday for Momma.
The past few years I've been fortunate: This newspaper granted me a leave the summer I moved back to Minnesota. The following summer, a family friend helped me out in exchange for room and board. Last year, my parents moved in to give me an assist.
These summer breaks from the routine helped in many ways: I saved on child care costs, which surpass my monthly mortgage payment. I had other grown-ups around to help me with everything from grocery runs to swim lesson drop-offs and pick-ups. And, as a treat, I sometimes could take one kid on an outing while the others stayed behind. I even got some exercise, leisurely biking to and from work instead of being on minivan duty from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or later.
Alas, no one is rescuing me this summer.
But that's OK. I'll make do with an expensive and intricate patchwork of child care, summer lessons and camps and activities, vacation days, work-from-home days and prayer.
Of course, the kids won't always be with me this summer. Sometimes, they'll be with their dad.
When the kids are with their father, I'll miss them and wish they were with me so I could create an expensive and intricate patchwork of child care, summer lessons and camps and activities, vacation days, work-from-home days and prayer.
Can I ever be happy?
I really don't know.
But at least I'll get to be unhappy this summer while watching HGTV and drinking coffee in the peace of a quiet home.
Oh, wait.
Scratch that.
To help stem the flow of money leaving my bank account, I'll be axing cable this summer. For the sake of my kids, I'm hoping to disable all of our home screens during the daytime hours. Only after they've ridden their bikes, gone to the pool, explored the nature center across the street, read some library books and drawn some pictures will they be allowed to turn the screens back for some "wind-down time" after dark.
Not sure if they'll be able to handle it. Not sure I'll be able to handle it.
In the meantime, we started off summer in a perfect way: After the children got back from spending the long Memorial Day weekend with their father, I took them straight to the beach before the sun set. We built sand castles, dug our toes into the warm sand and swam through the cold lake to the buoy ropes, twice.
This is summer in Minnesota, after all. We must savor it, every day of it, no matter the cost.

Mexican cardinal: Church must speak out against drug cartels
April 14, 2010
A Mexican cardinal has underlined the determination of Church leaders to fight against drug traffickers. Cardinal Francisco Robles Berlanga of Monterrey said that while civil officials have the primary duty to combat the drug trade, "we cannot escape our responsibility as a Church." He explained that the role of the Church is to stress the dignity of the human person, thereby countering the appeal of illegal drugs and organized crime. The cardinal's statement comes at a time when competing drug cartels have engaged in a series of violent assaults on their rivals, leaving more than 80 people dead.

As the United Nations prepares its final push to ratify a controversial gun treaty, the U.S. Senate is set to approve the measure which critics say will not only give away U.S. sovereignty but directly attack the individual gun rights of American citizens, according to a report published Thursday at Stand Up America.
Democrats still hold the majority in the Senate.
Known as "the U.N. small arms treaty," the measure would regulate private gun ownership, according to firearms rights watchdog groups.

Would you make a good writer?
Would you be interesting to read?
Is it worth picking up the pen?
These are questions every author wonders about.
Unfortunately after formal schooling, many are hard-pressed to read, and even more so – to write.
School has always been a mandatory grind of pretending to give a damn about information that's really for the birds.
All the highly successful people know this and self-educate.
So most people had a crappy start in writing.
But not all is lost…
If you posses some of the qualities below – you were born to write.
#1 Trait of Successful Writers: You read books from an early age.
And you stuck with it, reading a few books here and there into adulthood.
Why this is critical:
You will develop a style, a voice from everything you've ever read, subconsciously.
You will be more interesting to read, as you will pull bits and pieces from tens of thousands of pages.
Your diction, your style, your rhythm, your edge…
…develop over time, reading other works and living life.
People will know and recognize your writing style.
It's transparent.
Which is why it's impossible to be fake on a long running blog.
Reading a lot, early on in life is everything.
Otherwise, you're playing catch-up.
We're not just talking about reading to have a large vocabulary.
In fact, that's counter-productive.
In my opinion, using long words makes you difficult to read, and makes writing come off snobbish and try-hard.
Just get your message across. You don't need to be fancy-pantsy about it.
This isn't school, where you get super extra brownie points for using long buzzwords taught during class.
This is Creating. This is Art. Your Voice is You.
#2 Trait of a Born Writer: You have a creative mind.
You find normal life boring and mundane.
You want an adventure, some kind mission, a struggle between good and evil, not the nonsense haze of people's vague opinions.
Sometimes your antics get you into trouble. Sometimes they don't.
Basically, you are looking for an escape, a way to do something out of the ordinary.
Hell, Ray Bradbury was so bored of regular life, he watched movies everyday for several hours. Oleg Vorslav quit school, real quick.
Stephen King got heavy into drugs.
In fact many writers drink, to take the edge off, and just pour everything out unto the paper, and review it later.
It's the same pattern.
If you are creative, if you find things people take seriously – funny as hell…
And if you don't really fit in all that well…
My friend, pick up the pen, the world needs you.
#3 Trait: You're Introverted: You can handle being alone for long periods – in fact, you enjoy it.
Let's break down what writing actually is, physically.
You're sitting there, alone, for hours at a time, wearing out your keyboard.
Hammering out thousands of words, forgetting to eat, and slowly going a little crazy and more cross-eyed.
This much focused alone time would drive an Extrovert berserk, unless they are truly focused.
It's refreshing for an Introvert.
Yes, we have the upper hand in writing, and here's why:
We live inside our heads.
If you can take that atmosphere, and type fast enough to splash it out unto a notepad document, before it slips away from you – you just wrote a masterpiece.
It's not easy.
But it's not hard either.
It either flows, or it doesn't.
#4: You're Disciplined: You do what you need to do.
You're not always going to want to sit down and write.
There will be distractions, there will always be something.
If you know how to manage your time, and optimize your day, as well as be disciplined enough to stick with something, after it loses it's initial appeal…
You can write.
And if you don't worry too much, you can write a lot.
Just know doing anything day in day out isn't easy, even if the task itself is easy.
It's the consistency that's not easy.
And you're not going to get better, unless you write some garbage first.
You're not going to run a marathon before jogging around the block first.
So, become focused, have a routine, and function like clockwork.
Write regularly, but at the same time, never pressure yourself.
#5: You're Computer Savvy.
Writing with a pen and paper is obsolete(except your journal), and here's why:
It's much slower than typing. You can type infinitely faster, even if you're not skilled.
If you write a lot, you will become skilled at typing(promise).
It's like playing the piano, on a keyboard.
You think and your hands do.
No weird disconnect between.
It's like talking.
Also, digital formatting allows you to write a near infinite amount, where as you eventually run out of paper and have to flip pages, with old-school pen and paper.
Learn some very basic computer skills.
Its fun to figure out something new.
#6 Bonus Round: The Secret
You're Selfish.
You probably write more for yourself, than the readers. You enjoy it. And if someone else gets a laugh or something useful out of it – all the better.
It's a win/win/win situation for you to write, and you do it 'cause you want to.
I just cranked out 900 words before most everyone even got out of bed.
Cause I have a problem, that's why.
I get these ideas in my brain, and they keep me awake, until I get up, shower, shave my face, pour some coffee, and hammer out a text document.
Sometimes I post, Sometimes I don't.
Point is the ideas are there, and I enjoy writing them.
Getting back to the subject matter:
If you have the above qualities, there's no reason not to write something here and there.
Go for a walk, an idea will come to you.
Sit down and write it out.
Who knows, someone might like it.
All the Best.

How Riding Your Bike Makes You Happier
By Clair Cafaro
So now we know that riding our bikes increases brain fitness ("Your Bike-Your Brain"). And you already know that riding your bike makes you feel great (those bugs in your teeth are evidence of your ear to ear smile). What you may not know is that what you're thinking about while you're riding and your experience on the bike actually changes the physical structure of your brain. (I'll give you a moment to let that sink in). As author Sharon Begley points out in her book "Train Your Mind – Change Your Brain "the brain devotes more cortical real estate to functions that its owner uses more frequently and shrinks the space devoted to activities rarely performed. That's why the brains of violinists devote more space to the region that controls the digits of the fingering hand".
So the physical experiences we've had lead to more neural connections taking up more space in our brains. However, even more fascinating is that merely thinking about an activity leads to the same changes. In a 1996 experiment at Harvard Medical School, neuroscientist Alvaro Pascual-Leone had volunteers practice a simple five finger exercise on the piano over 5 days for 2 hours each day. As expected the brain space devoted to these finger movements grew, taking over less used grey matter. Here's the amazing part, a separate group of volunteers were asked to simply think about doing the exercise (hands remained stationary) for the week, dedicating the same amount of practice time. Pascual-Leone found that the region of the brain that controls piano playing finger movement expanded in the same way for volunteers who merely imagined playing the five finger exercise. In other words, your thoughts are changing your brain. While the implications of mental practice for mastering a skill are enormous (and well documented) the skill of practicing happiness is much more elusive. The idea that happy, joyful thoughts beget more happy, joyful thoughts is supported by the Hebbian theory (Dr. Donald Hebb) of "neurons that fire together wire together". The Dalai Lama tells us that the "most powerful influences on the mind come from within our own mind…happiness is something we can cultivate deliberately through mental training that affects the brain." Cultivating happiness is just another way of saying "bike ride".
Actively nurturing the positive emotions you experience while you're on your bike throughout your day and not just for the hours spent riding, will result in more neural connections devoted to keeping you happy. Relive, time and again the sense of accomplishment, the sheer joy of feeling your heart pound in your chest as you crest that final climb just in time for the morning sun to greet you. You catch yourself grinning at the thought that you've just made another joyful neural connection.

A few weeks ago, I suddenly found myself in the mood for pie. I want to blame the mini apple crisps we posted a little ways back – the filling would be phenomenal for a full-sized pie – but, whatever the case, I thought maybe my seasonal clock was just out of whack. When I think pie, I automatically think of pumpkin, apple, ones with two pastry pie crusts. You know – pie pie! Then it occurred to me that not all pie needs be baked and served warm with ice cream dripping off of it. While there's no sane reason to deny such a treat its day on the table, there are also chilled pies. Let's just say, to every season – pie, pie, pie. Or something like that.
This recipe uses a really scrumptious crust with a surprise ingredient – curry powder. Before your eyebrows shoot right off your forehead, just go with it for a minute, 'kay? We weren't altogether sure of the curry either, but it really adds a special, wonderful twist to this recipe. And it smells phenomenal baking!
The crust is simply graham crackers, melted butter, brown sugar and the curry. We used regular 'ole McCormick brand yellow curry, the kind that's a little sweet without a lot of heat. You crush the graham crackers, mix it all up and pat, pat, pat into your dish. Bake! You're done with the cooking part.
Did you hear me? No. More. Cooking. The rest is merely assembly and chill time.
Slice up a few of these. Use them all! No skimping. These will become the next layer in your pie.
Like so. Just keep layering the bananas till you've slice and used all four of them.
Whip up 8 ounces of regular cream cheese and some brown sugar. Gaze at it and think how yummy just those two ingredients taste together. Try not to dip in a spoon and taste it…too much.
We get by with a little help from our friends – this time, The Captain!
The Captain and the heavy cream meet up. Fluffiness happens. Lots and lots of spiced fluffiness. Spiced fluffy things are good things.
The cream cheese mixture and the fluffiness are folded together to create and even more awesome pile of awesome. It's awesome. Really awesome. Like, super fluffiness.
And now for the finishing touch, some reserved crust gets sprinkled on. The curry mentioned above swings by for another boost of yummy aroma. We are lucky pie eaters.
If you practice the fine art of patience and chill this for an hour or two, you'll get a refreshing pie that stands at attention when wedged and removed to a plate. Where your fork awaits to do your bidding. It's going to be a grand day now, thanks to this pie. It got rave comments when I made a second one for work. Serve this with pride at any spring or summer gathering. Or office cubicle. It's easy, refreshing, tastes phenomenal and – what else do you need?
Banana Rum Cream Pie
from Gourmet, March 2007
Prep Time: 30 minutes (plus chill time in fridge) Cook Time: 10 minutes Level: Easy Servings: 8
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs from 9 (4 3/4 – by 2 1/4-inch) crackers
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon curry powder (preferably Madras)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
- 1 cup chilled heavy cream
- 4 teaspoons dark rum
- 4 firm-ripe bananas
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Stir together crumbs, butter, curry powder, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl with a fork until combined well. Reserve 1 tablespoon crumb mixture for garnish and press remaining crumb mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake crust 10 minutes, then cool completely in pie plate on a rack, about 20 minutes.
Beat together cream cheese, zest, and remaining 6 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Beat cream with rum in another bowl with cleaned beaters at medium speed until it holds soft peaks. Gently stir one third of whipped cream into cream cheese mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whipped cream gently but thoroughly.
A note here from us: We found that adding that initial one third of the whipped cream didn't make the mixture as light as anticipated. With our first pie, the cream cheese and initial one third whipped mix still tended to be heavy when folding in the rest of the whipped and it just wanted to stay on the bottom. When folding, make sure it's all integrating. Fold firmly and make sure to pick up from the bottom of the bowl, but don't over fold.
Thinly slice bananas and arrange evenly over bottom of crust. Spread all of cream filling over bananas, then sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over top. Chill pie, loosely covered, at least 1 hour.
The original recipe suggests chilling the pie for only about 20 minutes, but we realized this wouldn't be enough time. We started by gradually checking on the pie by gently touching the creamy top layer through the plastic wrap cover. Once it was completely set, as in it didn't give at all when barely touching it, we pulled it out and sliced.
I made a second pie for work and the next day when I brought it in, it still tasted great, so this is one you can make ahead. I wouldn't make it more than one day ahead if serving guests, though, since the bananas, as they tend to do, will get more and more sweet and start to go fast.
Also? We used low-fat graham crackers for the crust! A (little) nod to health and all. It went great with all that creamy, fluffy filling. (Nod)

Towering columns, magnificent caverns, battered Civil War-era mining equipment – there truly is no other place like the Bonne Terre Mines in Missouri.
The Bonne Terre lead mine was the first in the St. Joe Minerals lead mine network, and was a key supplier of lead during the Civil War. The town and the vast mine underneath it was a target of Price's Raid in 1864. Ultimately the mine was active for over 100 years, getting shut down in the 1960's after a century of digging deeper into the Earth.
When the mine was abandoned the pumps that kept it dry were turned off, resulting in massive flooding that filled the entire tunnel network. Today, the pumps are used occasionally to maintain the water level where it is – leaving much of the first floor dry and creating a shoreline of sorts. Tours are offered via foot and boat, giving visitors an opportunity to explore the

We're wrong to think 1980s is all about Thatcher, says TV historian
Historian Dominic Sandbrook has argued that the 1980s would have been the same even if Margaret Thatcher had fallen under a bus.
The author, who has previously examined the 1960s in his book White Heat and the 1970s in books including State Of Emergency and Mad As Hell, has now turned his attention to the 1980s for a new documentary series.
Writing in the Radio Times, he explained: "Just as we so often misremember the '60s, so I think we've been getting the '80s wrong, too."
The decade will be the subject of The 80s With Dominic Sandbrook, starting on Thursday August 4 on BBC 2 at 9pm.
The academic and TV presenter, who is a visiting professor at King's College London, said: " No other prime minister has ever been so closely associated with the way we remember a particular decade.
"It would be easy to talk about the '60s without mentioning Harold Wilson, the '90s without John Major.
"But the '80s without Thatcher? Unthinkable. Whether you love or loathe her, she dominates the story."
However, Mrs Thatcher did not have the impact people thought she did, Sandbrook, 41, has argued.
"I think that if Thatcher had fallen under a bus in 1979, the story of '80s Britain would have been much less different than we think," he said.
"Mass unemployment, conflict in the coal mines, even wine bars and shoulder pads were probably all coming anyway.
"The truth is that the Iron Lady has become a convenient get-out, a way for the rest of us to pretend we live in a country that somebody else made."

A cyberwar is flaring up between Ukraine and Russia in what could be a beginning to a physical fight.
Last week a group of unidentified men took control of several communications centres in Crimea, which are maintained by Ukraine's telecom provider Ukrtelecom JSC. They wrecked cables and knocked out almost all landline, mobile and internet services in the region.
It now seems that event was so that wireless equipment could be illegally installed in order to spy on the mobile phones of Ukrainian MPs.
Valentyn Nalivaichenko, the head of SBU, Ukraine's' security service, has confirmed that an IP-telephonic attack is under way on mobile phones of members of Ukrainian parliament for the last few days.
"Telecoms gear at Ukrtelecom in Crimea was illegally and in violation of all commercial contracts, was installed that blocks the phone of all Ukrainian deputies, regardless of their political affiliation," he said.
Meanwhile the Ukrainian hackers or sympathisers have been getting busy themselves, hacking the website of Russian state-funded news channel RT on Sunday and changing all references to "Russia" and "Russians" in headlines to "Nazi" and "Nazis". The attack lasted only 20 minutes but was just the beginning.
A group of hackers in Ukraine who call themselves "Cyber-Berkut" have boasted about defacing at least 40 Russian news websites on their Facebook page with the image above, which shows a Nazi Swastika over Crimea.
On the Russian social network Vkontakte, 13 community groups set up in support of the new interim government in Kiev have had access to Russian IP addresses blocked. According to Moscow-based news website Lenta, a page appears when users try to access the groups, stating that the groups have been locked down by "the Russian Federation".
At the moment there is a fear in the Ukraine that Russia could expand its military activity to include distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to bring down crucial Ukrainian servers. They have done during other conflicts in Estoniam and the 2008 South Ossetia war with Georgia.

Leading Choreographers Raise Concerns Over UK Contemporary Dance Training - Full Press Release
Thursday, 9 April, 2015
Press Release - Background History
In 2013, myself/DV8, Helen Shute/Hofesh Shechter and Farooq Chaudhry/Akram Kahn - supported by other prominent companies/choreographers/dancers - approached the senior management of London Contemporary Dance School, to express our concerns about the lack of rigour and technique of many LCDS graduates.
After 5 months of emails, calls/conversations and meeting with LCDS senior management, but making little progress, we decided to request a meeting with the Chair of LCDS's board.
We provided a list of suggestions in advance of this meeting, called "WAYS FORWARD": ideas and pointers, to be jointly discussed, to help refocus the training LCDS offer and improve the standard of their graduates. We asked the school to provide their past 5 years of employment figures (Destination of Leavers), showing clearly who got work in the dance sector as a more objective way of measuring the issue and moving forward.
Meanwhile conversations with students, teachers and choreographers suggested many of the problems we were identifying extended to Trinity Laban and Northern School of Contemporary Dance, as well as LCDS; three of the UK's key contemporary dance-training institutions.
So we then approached Trinity Laban to provide us with their Destination of Leavers (DoL) statistics. The figure quoted on their website of 98.9% includes non-dance work as well as further study, so we asked them to clarify how many of their graduates were specifically in paid dance employment as performers, teachers, or choreographers.
As both LCDS and Trinity Laban couldn't provide the DoL statistics we asked for, we contacted HESA (the Higher Education Statistics Agency) to obtain these figures for the three schools. The statistics reinforced what we had originally suspected (see statistics below) – that students from these colleges were three times less likely to work as a dancer or choreographer than leading comparable schools internationally e.g. Juilliard Dance Division (NY) and PARTS (Brussels).
We accept the situation is complex, but felt that unless we made our concerns public, there would be a continued lack of urgency about addressing and improving the quality of UK contemporary dancers. We need and want these three training institutions – they have produced many great artists: choreographers, dancers and teachers - we would just like them to produce more.
- Lloyd Newson, Artistic Director, DV8 Physical Theatre
The Press Release in Full:
Britain's leading dance companies, Akram Khan Company (AKC) , DV8 Physical Theatre and Hofesh Shechter Company (HSC) have raised concerns over the standards of training in UK contemporary dance schools. All three companies are having to employ dancers from overseas because they cannot find British trained, contemporary dancers of sufficient calibre.
There are three main contemporary dance schools in Britain: London Contemporary Dance School, Trinity Laban, and Northern School of Contemporary Dance. Artistic Directors Khan, Shechter and Newson have decided to go public with their criticism of these institutions, as they are increasingly dismayed by the declining standards they witness when holding UK auditions. They are unconvinced that the schools are able to provide training that reflects the demands and needs of the professional dance sector.
"As leading contemporary dance companies, we would hope to employ graduates from these institutions, which are all in receipt of public subsidy as well as student tuition fees. Unfortunately the students, more often than not, lack rigour, technique and performance skills. I have spoken to ten other British Dance companies who share this view."
- Lloyd Newson, Artistic Director, DV8 Physical Theatre
'My dance training has been and still is like an old friend, who guides me, who I debate with and who helps me through many obstacles, in my life and in art. I am concerned, that somewhere, somehow, the training the young dancers go through in the UK are not supporting them in the rigour, technique, and discipline that I am looking for in a dancer. Instead, the 'training' of the UK dancers today, have become the very obstacles that the training was meant to overcome.'
- Akram Khan, Artistic Director Akram Khan Company
"Working in the UK I get to know and care about the under-graduates of our major training institutions who attend our workshops and company classes. It's disheartening when it comes to auditions to see these UK students with potential and enthusiasm consistently outclassed by fitter, stronger and more versatile counterparts from Europe, Asia and the USA. We must find a way to level the playing field and work together as a sector to address the widening gap between our requirements as employers and the skills with which UK graduates emerge which starts with a complete lack of high quality, professional contemporary dance training for school age children in the UK and continues into a passive approach to addressing this already existing disadvantage head on at undergraduate level."
- Hofesh Shechter, Artistic Director, Hofesh Shechter Company
"Are the schools really serving their students and the wider dance industry? I certainly believe their teaching methods have fallen behind the needs of the market."
- Farooq Chaudhry, Producer, Akram Khan Company
Khan, Shechter and Newson wanted to find out how many of the school leavers of recent years actually found work in the sector. While not all dance students might envisage a career as performers, the three choreographers felt that this was still the main measure to judge the schools against. Destination of Leavers figures provided by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), highlight the low number of UK contemporary dance graduates finding paid employment as dancers or choreographers; for the three main contemporary dance schools this figures lies between 31 and 35%. In comparison, the Juilliard School in New York has a 90% employment rate.
Since 2000, Akram Khan's company have employed 51 dancers; only 4 were UK trained. In contrast 57% of the dancers they employ have graduated from P.A.R.T.S, (Brussels). Khan, Shechter and Newson are adamant that action is required if we hope to reverse this trend.
Comparing Destination of Leavers Statistics:
Destination of Leavers figures provided by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) for the three main UK Contemporary Dance Schools, highlight the low number of UK contemporary dance graduates finding paid employment as dancers or choreographers:
|No. of graduates working as full or part time
paid dancers or choreographers
In comparison, 90% of graduates from The Juilliard School, New York are working as paid dancers or choreographers.
Additionally, Arts Educational Schools London (ArtsEd) have provided us with details of the per-cent of their Musical Theatre graduates who are working within performance within a year of graduating:
2012 - 96%
2013 - 100%
Although these students have studied Musical Theatre rather than contemporary dance, we feel that these statistics are a clear indication of what UK performance graduates could be achieving.
Foot Notes:
- Information for NSCD, LCDS and Laban sourced from Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) Destination of Leavers Survey and Student Record
- The "Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE)" survey asks leavers from higher education what they are doing six months after graduation.
- The figures for "No. of graduates working as full or part time paid dancers or choreographers" were checked and verified by HESA on the 8th of April 2015
- Juilliard statistics provided by Juilliard (Sarah Adriance and Katie Friis)
- ArtsEd statistics provided by ArtsEd (Chris Hocking)
- 2012/2013 were the most recent figures that were available from HESA at the time of data extraction as student surveys and records for 2013/14 graduates had not yet been collected/compiled (for LCDS, NSCD, Laban).

Lloyd Newson was contacted by Jenny Morgan, Miranda Pennell and Professor Jonathan Rosenhead in August 2012, who asked him to sign a letter of protest against the appearance of the Israeli dance company Batsheva at the Edinburgh International Festival.
Lloyd refused their request and his response, along with the original letter, can be found below.

What's Your Point Of Difference In Web Design or Development?
Posted on March 21st, 2009 by admin
"We do web design and development" doesn't work. "We do low cost PHP/MySQL" doesn't work either. There are too many who do that and your head isn't going to stick up in the mob. Low cost is a bitch anyway. "I am the best programmer" or "We have a great team" is just as flawed. […]

- Should have time frame (eg 20 mins max)
- Should be first to reach certain score (lets say 20)
- Should be enforced combat system (like in UFC) where no too much hesitation and running allowed, but focus on combat and exchange of skills
- No spells should be banned
- People are allowed to spec accordingly to their opponent (to counter spells, not to ban them)
- People are allowed to customize gear before the fight according to their opponent (to counter spells, not to ban them)

- Visible leaderboard for TV purposes with basic statistics and info (build for example)
- Broadcasters with deep knowledge of the game and good broadcasting skills
Well this is as much as i could think of in 2 mins. Of course, not all is rule related but also related to broadcasting. This is coming from high ranked SC/WC3/SC2/WoW pvp player. If u need more assistance i could provide you with my paypal for donations! :))

People will just stop playing (like me). Good thing Hots is near It was always fun to farm and hope a big bang item will drop that u can cash out.. Now? Lol... Back to forums and trading.. A player that comes with 5 euros gets so much gold that u cannot farm in 50 runs.Quote from KingKongor
biggest mistake of blizzard so far, dont they realise that this will destroy the entire economy ?
items that were 1b are now going to be 24b basicly
price cap is 0.02c per mil so you can buy 12500m (12.5b) for 250 euro
good luck finding good items on normal gold AH now
they will only be p2w now.
0Luckly, i sold all mine before the patch Well it seems now only people that love the game will play it, not the ones trying to earn from it.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion

no...paragon lvls = normal lvls = gain only basic stats - depends on your class 3+1+1+2 (main stat,off stat,off stat, vitalita)
I know how it works in the game. I was suggesting it as a possible addition to the game.
0Kyosukekano posted a message on Paragon level increases resilience.. or I would at least like that.Posted in: PvP Discussion
With each paragon level you receive a certain percentage of reduced crit dmg and crit chance on you.
Make it so that up to paragon level 50 you get the most benefit out of it, and that you can level paragon with pvp tokens.
What do you think?

How You Can Make Money From Home Doing What You Love, With Information Products Marketing: The PERFECT Home Based Business
Are There 10 Top Home Based Business Opportunities or Ideas?
Or, is there just one "Best" home business opportunity?
Almost everyone is searching for a legitimate home based business opportunity so they can make money from home. It's a fact, right. Especially in these challenging economic times.
Millions of people dream about starting their own home based business. Are you one of those millions? It's great if you are, but please don't be like many of the dreamers who either chase after every new "opportunity" and never really succeed, or dream and dream, but never start. Or, they do start some kind of home business and then give up too soon because success doesn't come as fast as they expected so they lose hope, or don't know what to do next.
Now is the time to see your dream become a reality!
Imagine yourself earning a comfortable living of $60,000 or $100,000 per year, or even more from home doing things you love. Or maybe you would rather just earn an extra $500 or $1,000 a month to help with the bills or to buy a few toys.
Imagine being able to stop being a wage slave forever and going up to your boss with a big smile on your face as you say "take this job and shove it" (in a friendly way, of course :-)).
Imagine yourself in a beautiful new home, a new car, or a new boat.
Or how about being able to spend more quality time with your family?
Think of the freedom you'll have when you can take lots of great vacations without having to get an OK from a boss for the time off.
If you're nearing retirement age like me, imagine being able to retire with money to spare. No more worries about Social Security going bankrupt.
OK. So, enough already about all that. Right? Who doesn't imagine or want at least some of these things, if not all of them?
There are a lot of advertised home based business "opportunities" that promise all of the above and more. But, as you probably already know, not all of these so called opportunities are real opportunities. If you've ever tried to make money from home with multi-level marketing or envelope stuffing or any of a hundred other "opportunities", you know what I mean. Isn't it true that….
Many of these so called "opportunities" will have you spending so much time and effort just to earn a little extra money that you could end up earning less than the minimum wage. Yuk! Sometimes there are so many demands on your time and money that the business ends up owning you, instead of you owning the business. Well…
I know that's not the kind of opportunity you're looking for. Don't waste any more of your precious time and money trying out the "next great opportunity" and then the next, and then one more, until you feel like quitting altogether. Isn't it time to stop spending money on every new opportunity, and to finally start earning some money?
Are you a mom who just wants to stay home with the kids and earn income from home.
Or, maybe you hate your lousy job and want to quit so you can work from home.
Or you just lost your job in the latest round of layoffs and need to earn money from home to survive.
Maybe you're a retiree who needs extra income to supplement your meager Social Security checks.
Don't you wish you could discover a legitimate home business that would allow you to live richly, doing what you love from home?
I thought you would say "Yes". But, what are the best home business opportunities for you to consider?
Here are my top ten home based business ideas:
1.Information Products Marketing
2.Information Products Marketing
3.4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9., And 10. All the same, Information Products Marketing. Well, you get the picture. I am convinced there is only one "Best" home based business opportunity, not 10 top opportunities. And the best opportunity is marketing information to people who need and want it.
This information products marketing business, sometimes called info marketing or infopreneuring, is excellent for taking advantage of the marketing power of the internet.
Do you want to start a profitable internet business? Then, market information. About 80% of the people searching on Google or other search engines are looking for information.
Sure, sometimes they are looking for free info. But, people will also pay well for information that saves them time and money, helps them earn money, or that solves a problem they are desperate to have fixed. They will even pay you for information that could be obtained free by doing research. You do the research for them, compile the information, add your touch to it, and people will pay you to save them time and effort so they don't have to do the research.
For example, if you have black mold in your basement, and you're trying to sell your house quickly, wouldn't you be happy to pay someone to tell you exactly how to get rid of that nasty mold fast and protect you and your family from the mold?
I like to call the information products marketing business the PERFECT™ home based business. Each letter in the word P.E.R.F.E.C.T. stands for one of the 7 characteristics a successful home business must have.
It must be:
And, it must:
Fit with your desired lifestyle
It must be:
E-Friendly (uses the internet and e-mail for marketing)
Testable at low risk
Information products marketing is the best home based business because it has all 7 of the above characteristics in spades:
1.Profits are extremely high compared to most other businesses, up to 90% or more of sales revenue.
2.The business is easy to set up and operate, especially if you choose an information topic you have a passion for that meets the needs of a profitable market.
3.It's a real business where you will be providing information of real value to people happy to give you their money in exchange for your products. Not a MLM or envelope stuffing scheme.
4.Once the business is set up and running you can have more time than ever to spend with your family, or for vacations, hobbies, and activities you love.
5.It's a perfect business to make use of the internet as a marketing channel. You can profit heavily with website, blog, and e-mail marketing.
6.You can be competitive with unique information products. Even big companies can't run over you because you put your own special slant on your information based on your knowledge, experience, and personality.
7.You don't have to bet the farm or sell your first-born to finance the business. You can run inexpensive tests to see if your ideas will work before you expand to maximize your success. You can start small and build a thriving business with a very low investment.
So, what are you waiting for? Forget about all those other so-called "home business opportunities" that waste your time and money. Get started on your own home based information products marketing business today.
Once you're convinced too that Information Products Marketing is the PERFECT home based business opportunity for you, and I hope you are, the next step is to take action and get started on your own Info Marketing Business today. Become an infopreneur. It is an exciting business to be in.
See your dream become reality with some initial fun learning and then by following seven action steps for success:
First, learn everything you can about the information products marketing business. Learn how successful information marketing businesses are started and how they make money. What will you need to do, what skills will you need, and what will you need to learn, in order to succeed? Who has already succeeded and is willing to teach you the ropes so you don't waste time and money learning the hard way? Then, take directed action until you succeed and don't give up.
Take action by following these seven action steps that will lead you to success in the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. information products marketing home based business:
1. Passion: Find a information topic or subject you can be passionate about that matches your core desires and leverages your strengths.
The Passion step means determining your core desires (what you really, really want), and identifying your passion(s) and strength(s). This is a required first step that will help motivate you and greatly increase your chances of being successful. You are much more likely to succeed in the long term if your business is centered around something you are passionate about.
2. Economics: Find a profitable market before you create any products. If there is no profitable market for the products or services you intend to offer, it won't do much good for you to be passionate about them.
The Economics step means finding profitable markets that resonate with your core desires, passions, and strengths that you identified in the first success step called Passion. If you can't find a market that fits completely, at least find one that you are strongly interested in, or think you could become strongly interested in. But, if a market is not profitable, it doesn't matter whether or not it matches your passions. Find a profitable market before creating any products.
3. Research: Learn everything you can about your intended prospects and your market, about products or services already being bought in your market, and about your competitors. But, don't get paralyzed by analysis. Learn what you can quickly and move on to the next step.
The Research step means doing additional research on the market(s) you identified in the Economics success step, on the product(s) you think you may want to offer, on your potential competitors, and on your prospects. The purpose is, in part, to make sure you know exactly what kind of products are being offered to your market, where they are being offered, where your prospects may be searching for solutions, what kind of sales copy and offers are being used, who your competitors are and what they aren't offering that your prospects need (that you could offer in your product).
4. Find Your Business Model: For most businesses and markets, there are at least several different business models you could follow and be successful. Choose the one related to your information products home business that sounds best to you, the one that makes best use of your strengths, and the one that sounds like the most fun.
The Find Your Business Model step means deciding what business model is the best fit for your personality, skills and interests, the one that most closely matches what you would like to do in the future, and even the one that sounds like it would be the most fun for you to do. The business model you decide on will include your choice of Marketing Channel (online, e-mail, offline, or a combination), Product Category (determined by the degree of content created by you), and Sales Process (direct linking, opt-in, sales page, or content site, for example).
5. Establish Your Product Line: Create or find products to offer to your prospects.
The Establish Your Product Line step means you create or find information products that resonate with your core desires and passions. And of course, they must be products that your clients are willing and able to buy. Think about creating a long term business and not just a short term income stream. So, don't just create or find one product, plan for at least several related products in your product line. You should have products at various price points so prospects can buy your less expensive product first. As they develop trust in you and your products they will buy your more expensive products also.
6. Complete Your Marketing Machine: Your marketing machine will almost certainly be more than just a website. Whatever is required for effective marketing in your information products marketing home business, make sure you have it set up and tested to make sure it is working properly. At a minimum, you need a way to reach your intended prospects, you need an offer to present your products or services to them, a way to take payment, and a way to follow up with your prospects and customers to build your relationship with them and continue offering them value and products.
The Complete Your Marketing Machine step means creating everything needed to attract prospects and convert them to paying customers, including for example, web pages to get prospects to opt in to your e-mail list or to sell or presell a product, a series of autoresponder e-mail messages, order pages, download pages and so on. Another way of looking at it is, once you have at least your first product created, or your first affiliate product selected for affiliate marketing, how do you get it marketed? How do you get orders and get paid for them? Your marketing machine accomplishes all of that, and what your marketing machine looks like will depend on which sales process you have selected for your business.
7. Traffic and Conversion: Getting prospects to view and read your offer is Traffic. Without traffic, you can't get any orders. But, getting prospects to take the action you desire on your offer page is Conversion. That action could be getting them to opt in to your e-mail list or getting them to place an order for one of your products for example. If you have millions of people viewing your offer, but nobody takes your desired action, you won't get any orders either. Once you have your marketing machine set up, getting both Traffic and Conversion is critical.
The Traffic And Conversion step means getting traffic and converting that traffic into orders. If you build your web site, they will come. Right? WRONG! In order to get the traffic you need you must give people a reason to visit your opt-in page, sales page, or content web site. There are many free and paid methods to get traffic to your web site. Getting traffic is one thing. Converting that traffic to orders for your product is another. You need to be able to convert the traffic into orders to be successful.

The nation's single-family housing market is springing back to life, and the luxury market is budding right along with it.
Luxury homes have received a healthy boost from historically low mortgage rates, increased buyer confidence and burgeoning interest from foreign investors looking to capitalize on favorable exchange rates.
One bellwether of the recovery: Toll Brothers, the largest luxury home builder in the United States, reported that fourth-quarter revenues (ended Oct. 31, 2012) were up 48%, and new orders were the highest level seen since 2006.
The fact that home builders are asking for price cuts from their suppliers is no...

Petrichor (pronounced /ˈpɛtrɨkər/; from Greek petra "stone" + ichor the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology)
is the name of the scent of rain on dry earth.
(Thank you Wikipedia)
Petrichor Review is the love child of three young editors digging for viscera, for the fleshy inner-workings of things. We believe writing & art are forces for joy and illumination, but only if observed.
Emma Nichols: Editor-in-Chief
Emma Nichols enjoys writing that makes her feel elated, upset, uncertain, disturbed, intrigued, in love, and a little bit turned on. She believes everything has been done before, but sees no reason to give up the attempt. She loves being shown the strange hiding within the mundane. Her favorite punctuation mark is the oxford comma, closely followed by the semi-colon.
Pete Viola: Poetry Editor
Pete Viola is recovering from an acute sense of self importance. As such, he has grown resistant to haughtiness and false gravity. He has come to prefer strange little jokes over hollow platitudes, and brief, concise pieces that meet modest goals over broad works that starve, lost in their own sweeping expanses.
Sean Case: Fiction Editor
Sean Case thinks writing is important and is happy so many people still do it. Send him something weird, but not for weirdnesses's sake. He likes good food passages and good descriptions of smell. Don't worry about clean endings. He thinks they're unnecessary and often disappointing; he likes to be left hanging.

The beauty of the next couple of days is that baseball fans across the country are mostly happy people. We can wallow in our dewy optimism and hope about the coming season — even if it's completely unfounded.
But sure as the seventh inning follows the sixth, that optimism will sooner or later fade and yield to brooding, Monday-morning quarterbacking of pitching changes and lineup decisions and maybe even long strings of profanity directed at the television. (Hey, nobody's perfect…)
It will be periodically interrupted flashes of distilled joy — a steal of home, a walk-off homer or knee-buckling strikeout pitch — that make it all well worth it.
For Chris or I, the honeymoon won't last longer than nine innings. One of us, fair to say, is probably going to be miserable on Monday morning. No fan wants to see an Opening Day loss, let alone to his team's most hated rival.
But that's for Monday. For now, consider this an open thread for fans of all teams to share your favorite Opening Day memories:
I'll start with mine — exactly 14 years ago today — and ask Chris to add his later if he's got a minute.
My favorite Opening Day memory is not of a game that I was at — or even saw on television.
It probably says a fair bit about my level of participation in middle school that I can remember with crystal clarity slouching low in my desk in English class on April 2, 1996 with a mini white Sony AM/FM radio concealed in backpack — but for the life of me I can't remember my English teacher's name.
I trailed the headphone wire under my sweatshirt and rested my head on my arm to conceal the bulky mid-90s version of ear buds.
The class room wasn't that big, and I totally got busted. But not before I heard the Yankees' first rookie Opening Day shortstop in 35 years — a guy named Derek Jeter — smack his first career home run out of Jacobs Field in Cleveland off an aging Dennis Martinez.
David Cone gave up two hits in seven innings and the Yankees won the game 7-1. The rest of that season worked out pretty well, too.

Yesterday as expected the House passed HR 5639, the National Institute of Standards and Technology Improvement Act of 2016 by a voice vote. There was only eleven minutes 'debate' on the bill before the vote was taken, but there were no words spoken in opposition to the bill.
As I mentioned in my earlier post there is only one cybersecurity provision in the bill, but it is more of a face-saving slap at the NSA than an effective legislative provision.
The bill, if it reaches the floor of the Senate before the end of the session, will almost certainly be considered under their unanimous consent provisions where it will be passed with no debate and no vote.
