"I am a board certified psychiatrist. I provide psychiatry outpatient service in South Hampton Roads, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth and Chesapeake. If you are struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder or difficulty focusing on task but talk therapy alone not resolving your problems, I can help you with medications. If you are taking medications for your mood, or anxiety, but not feeling better, I can help you adjust your medications. I provide psychiatry medication management for self-pay patient with a reasonable rate because I choose not to take insurance, thus reducing administrative cost."
"I am a psychiatric provider serving clients and their families who need personalized care, flexible scheduling, the option of in-office or psychiatry appointments, and a provider who listens. Healing is based on a solid foundation and treatment plans that are personalized and adjustable as time passes. My ideal client wants to find answers and take steps as fast or as slow as she/he is ready. My background ranges from Family Practice originally, and later, Psychiatry. A diverse upbringing in the Philippines and Africa allows for a multicultural approach to psychiatry."
"We treat all types of relationship problems and their aftermath. These include relationship red flags, dating after divorce, infidelity, parent-child strain, blended family issues, relationship strain due to substance or porn abuse and difficulty leaving toxic relationships. Relationship problems can overpower even the most successful people, filling us with embarrassment and shame. Asking for help is a demonstration of intelligence and strength, not weakness. That's why we're committed to your success, privacy, and dignity from the moment we connect with you."
"Having trained as a psychiatrist, an art therapist, and a Jungian analyst, I approach each individual as unique. I focus on the value of that uniqueness and encourage the development of individual solutions to the problems and suffering that individuals bring into treatment. I view anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and problems in relationships as manifestations of unsuccessful attempts to adapt to both the outer world of collective demands and the inner world of one's own individual feelings and needs. Being healthy in the world means balancing the needs for individuality with needs to fit into the collective world."

"My ideal clients are those 18-years-old and older that may be seeking assistance with substance abuse and/or mood disorder concerns. It's important that I meet my clients where they are, not where I or anyone else thinks they should already be."
"MY WORK WITH THE PATIENT: As a psychiatrist with over 30 years' experience serving patients, I understand the need to work with the patient to develop an understanding of all factors that are playing a role in the present state of mind and body, such as family, work and social environments, leisure activities, and physical health."
"Seeking treatment can be an intimidating process but by doing so you are one step closer to where you want to be. I extend a warm, engaging, and personable approach to psychiatric care. I have successfully treated many people who are new to mental health treatment. My practice focuses on breaking social stigmas of addiction and helping people overcome body image issues, sleep disorders, anxiety/stress management, and the challenges of academic and professional lives."

My bad), the Haggerty to see the Rauschenberg show (amazing), the Tory Folliard Gallery to check out the new "Streetwise" show, Spackle (which was also closed. Their bad.), Paper Boat to see the Lisa Congdon show one more time, White Whale (also closed. Their bad.), the Green Gallery to see the "Kind of Abject" show, Dean Jensen to see the "Big, Big Bangs" show again and Villa Terrace to see Richard Haas' architectural drawings.

Transforming Birth Fund is devoted to changing our modern ideologies around becoming a parent. We value thinking of obvious solutions for problems we never intended to face. Some things are so obvious. Something like tracking your ovulation cycle as a natural birth control is common sense. However, we've become so dependant on others we fail to think for ourselves. At Transforming Birth Fund we live by four pillars. These pillars deal with before, during, and after your pregnancy. They promote being the best receptacle possible for developing healthy, and happy child.
Our Three Pillars:
Pillar 1 – Holistic Health & Healing
Most pharmaceuticals are meant to treat what already occurs in nature. Practicing yoga, meditation, and eating well will significantly improve your prenatal health. At some [point we seem to have forgotten that everything in existence came from this planet in some way, shape, or form. Why not look to nature for answers rather than tricking our bodies? Healing either happens or it doesn't. If we use too many synthetic drugs, how can we identify when we've healed ourselves? "Let food by thy medicine." ~ Hippocrates
Pillar 2 – Birthing Abroad
We believe in having a squatting birth. It is far better for a women's health. Logically, it also makes sense to work with instead of against gravity. In the temples in Egypt, the Goddess Isis is depicted giving birth in a squat position. With a midwife (goddesses Hathor & Tawaret) on each side, she looks calm and strong. She's encased in a sort of tomb or shrine, reflecting and focusing on the task ahead. The Goddess Isis represents life, death, rebirth, healing, and nurturing. The way she is depicted in the Ancient Ruins is one of our inspirations for this site.
Another aspect of giving birth abroad is that your baby will receive dual citizenship. The vaccination requirements are different. There also will not be a standard birth certificate. This is refreshing because birth certificates are said to be used as collateral for US debts. There is a serial number or CUSIP on them, and older birth certificates literally say authorized by "The American Bank Note Company."
Pillar 3 – Homeschooling
Homeschooling is so critical. First of all, it guarantees more one-on-one attention for your child. Homeschooling also gives you the freedom to go at a different pace than the average. You can cater a curriculum to your child's speed of development and interests. Focusing on creativity & exploration in the first several years is crucial because the soul is feeling out the body. The more questions you allow the child to ask, the faster they'll learn. They won't become bored or burnt out either.
Homeschooling and mindfulness teaching are extremely important post-birth. In continuing the transformation of your birthing experience, it is necessary to educate the new soul you've brought into the world in a very special way.
We are spreading awareness and mindfulness daily. We're passionate about helping new mothers to make more thoughtful choices for their families. Click the donate button to contribute to the holistic spiritual raising of offspring.

Comfort Zone
Timothy: I slipped my bare feet into a pair of shoes to take the dog for his walk around the yard one morning. This particular morning dawned with a half-foot of fresh snow and single digit temperatures. My wife was appalled. "You'll get snow in your shoes!" she said, much like a police negotiator trying to convince some poor soul not to jump.
My dear wife and I have different climatological comfort zones. One summer, Donna was weeding her flower beds. The outside air temperature was somewhere between freshly flowing lava and the inside of one of those microwave pizza rolls! I would occasionally check on her by scraping the frost off a window and stare at her in disbelief from my refrigerated sanctuary. I must have looked like the Boy-in-the-Plastic-Bubble as she waved happily to me while tending her garden.
Donna: I'd like to think I didn't sound quite that horrified, but I just can't fathom going out into the snow with bare feet just shoved into any old shoes. I could never be comfortable without first swathing my feet in two pairs of socks before encasing them in my fur-lined boots.
My feet can be warm and comfortable with an extra pair of socks, but what happens if being comfortable is no longer comforting? There's a saying, "if you keep doing the same things, you'll keep getting the same results." When I was single, I had often wondered why I wasn't meeting good Catholic men who were marriage and family minded. I enjoyed hanging out with my friends, going to bars, and participating in civic events. It was comfortable and easy, but it had little to do with my faith and the future I wanted.
At Mass one Saturday evening, our pastor announced that they were short on help for the parish carnival that night. Anyone willing to cajole people into parting with their money was needed to work for a few hours in the gambling tent. Not exactly my thing, I tried to find a reason why I shouldn't volunteer that night. I was a bit uneasy not knowing anybody who was going to be working there, but how hard could it be?
I was put to work at one of the booths spinning the "Lucky Number Wheel." The people with whom I was working turned out to be a lot of fun. We started a bit of a rivalry with the booth across from us run by the men's Renewal team. A tall, good looking blond man with a megaphone and glow-in-the-dark glasses continually tried to steal our players. One of the ladies in my booth kept egging me on to go talk with him, but at that moment I felt shy, awkward, and uncomfortable.
Finally, at the end of the night, I stopped at his booth and put down a few quarters. No matter what number the wheel spun, he just wouldn't pick up my quarter! Yes, that good looking blond became my dear husband. Taking a chance, stepping beyond my comfort zone, led me to meet the love of my life!
Marriage has taught me quite a bit about getting out of my comfort zone. We were both in our thirties when we married and had lived on our own for quite a while. I think we were both used to doing things our own way. Routine is reassuring, but it can be stifling and limiting as well.
While we were still dating, Tim encouraged me to attend the renewal weekend at our church. It would be two days spent with women I didn't know, listening to speakers, and faith sharing. That was just something I would never consider doing on my own.
However, I registered and showed up that Saturday morning. I was ready to bolt before it even got started. I carefully plotted out my exit strategy as I was extremely uncomfortable. Little by little, and talk by talk, I began to see that I needed to be there. In the afternoon, as we spent time before the Blessed Sacrament, I felt God's presence in a way I had never before. That weekend turned out to be life changing for me!
I returned the favor a few years later. Tim had been reading, no, devouring, the works by our now favorite author, G.K. Chesterton. I read about a Chesterton conference that was being held roughly a five hour drive from our home and signed us up to participate. A long drive probably wasn't high on his list of things he wanted to do, but Tim took the chance and went. We heard excellent speakers and met a lot of tremendous people, some with whom we continue to keep in touch. To top off the weekend, a photo Tim took was used for the cover of their next Gilbert Magazine.
Stepping beyond where we are comfortable can pay dividends many times over. Developing an appreciation for sitting quietly or getting actively involved can change you in ways you might never imagine.

HUDSONVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — Joan Miller made it to the Rainbow Grill Thursday night with friends, drawn out by deceiving sunshine. She usually eats there three times a week, but this brutal winter has forced her to cut back.
"At least half, I could say," Miller said. "It really hurt this winter. I can tell the waitresses didn't get the tips, you know. People can't get out."
A bitter winter that has beaten up roads and roofs also has taken a bite out of restaurants — a big bite for some.
At the Rainbow Grill in Hudsonville, sales were down 10% this January compared to January 2013.
"Sales have been down because people just can't get out," said owner John Zondervan. "You've had times when roads are closed. People can't get out of their driveways. It's just cold."
On a normal Thursday night, the restaurant would be packed and there would be a line for a table, Zondervan said. But this Thursday night, there were empty tables.
The Hudsonville Rainbow Grill has been open 10 years; the one in Grandville since 1954, run by the same family for three generations.
As winters go, Zondervan said, this has been one of the worst for business.
"My father he says it's been the roughest one since the 1977-78 storms, yeah," Zondervan said. "Restaurants really depend on weekends. We've had a lot of storms, snow on the weekends. It's been rough all around."
The cold and snow have slowed retail sales across the country, but not nearly as much as it has hurt restaurants, according to national reports.
Restaurant sales were down 0.6% nationally in December and 0.7% in January after a record November, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures quoted by the National Restaurant Association.
Experts blame not only the cold, but also high heating bills leaving consumers with less to spend.
The Michigan Restaurant Association says it has heard from restaurants around most of the state that January was bad.
"We've definitely heard that restaurants were feeling that impact of people not wanting to leave their houses in January and not dining out as much," said association spokeswoman Adriane DeCeuninck.
The only possible exception — northern Michigan restaurants where all that snow drew tourists, she said.
At the Rainbow Grill, it has forced the owner to cut back hours for his crew.
"You feel bad for your staff because you're constantly cutting hours, so while sales are down here, they're also working less and so they're taking home less," Zondervan said.
And that has been hurting waitresses like Martha Wierenga.
"We get the $2.65 an hour as all waitresses do, and so we really rely on our customers to come in," Wierenga said. "Like everyone else, we have bills to pay."
They expect a lot of pent-up demand once spring finally arrives.
"A lot of it's just seeing the sun, and people are itching to come out," Zondervan said. "They're sick of being inside. They'll come when the sun comes out and it warms up."

The Moto-Raptor from Rocky Mountain Radar is one of the only cordless, wireless, motorcycle-only radar and laser detector systems on the market. With 360-degrees of detection right around the bike, the Moto-Raptor warns you in advance of approaching policeman with speeding detection equipment turned on whether they following you, in front of you, or coming at you from the side.
Mounting the Moto-Raptor
Rocky Mountain Radar's Moto-Raptor is an absolute piece-of-cake to fit. You mount it under the nose of the bike with a bracket and two little screws, then run a wire to your battery. You should use a cable tie on the wire so that is doesn't catch on anything hot, then you just have turn your Moto-Raptor on.
The wireless helmet speaker and receiver mount's to the side of your lid with the speaker tucking nicely into the lining.
Wireless Radar Warnings
The wireless mount needs charging and once live it automatically connects to the detector when you turn the engine on. It beeps to tell you it's live and a little blue light on the end of a flexible rod allows you to see any action from the detector at night.,
This visual portion of the detection unit takes a little getting used to, but the blue light next to your nose turns out to be an excellent warning mechanism. The detector beeps very slowly once it detects a signal and as you get closer to the source both the beeping and blue light flashing increases
The laser detection is instant with no gradual sound increase -- basically, if a laser is pointed on you and you detect it, jump on the brakes fast.
I also have a Rocky Mountain Detector system in my car and that one has a laser blocker built in. It scrambles the signal so that the police get a false reading which gives you a little time to slow down. This detector for the motorcycle doesn't have such a mechanism which is unfortunate because I have seen its value personally in my car. Hopefully one day Rocky Mountain Radar will include a laser blocker in the Moto-Raptor model.
Final Thoughts on the Moto-Raptor
I have to say the Moto-Raptor is very easy to use, very technologically friendly, and gives you piece of mind wherever you ride.
Everyone that rides a motorcycle needs a radar detector. Whether you are riding in PA and need warning of the police behind the bridges and trees or in Ohio or Massachusetts where moving radar is their weapon of choice, there is never a journey that a detector wouldn't give you piece of mind.
Let's face it, who from time to time doesn't break the speed limit even if its only a little?

The international anti-apartheid movement to isolate South Africa also started at grassroots level, and became so powerful that governments were forced to follow suit
This from my latest in the National:
In a remarkable interview last November, the Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert cautioned that unless it could achieve a two-state solution quickly, Israel would "face a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights, and as soon as that happens, the state of Israel is finished". The reason, he said, was that Israel would be internationally isolated. "The Jewish organisations, which are our power base in America, will be the first to come out against us because they will say they cannot support a state that does not support democracy and equal voting rights for all its residents."
Jewish communities in western countries have long been Israel's trump card against international pressure, because they mobilise support for Israel and restrain critics by painting opposition to Israel's policies as motivated by hostility to Jews – a toxic accusation in a world still sensitive to the horrors of the Holocaust. But what was palpable during the Gaza conflict was the diminished enthusiasm of young Jewish people abroad for Israeli militarism, and the increasing willingness of many to openly challenge Israel.
This change is personified by Jon Stewart, the Jewish-American comic whose Daily Show is the premier vehicle of contemporary American political satire. Stewart mercilessly mocked American politicians for their slavish echoing of the Israeli narrative during the Gaza conflict. "It's the Möbius strip of issues," he sarcastically enthused. "There's only one side!" Clearly, the younger, hipper Jewish liberal mainstream exemplified by Stewart intends to judge Israel on the basis of its actions, rather than express morally blind ethnic solidarity.

text: Gunblood is fun gun shooting western game which requires good reflexes and gaming instinct but also you need to have patience. This game itself can get very addictive because every time you lose a match you start from beginning so you will most likely play till you finish all levels. There is a highest score table inside the game and if you want to find your name in it you have to take good care of the bonus levels which come into act every third level. In the bonus levels of Gunblood The Western Shootout you have to shot and blow the empty bottles but if you miss them and hit the man who throw them instead the level is failed. But you do not have to worry because this levels are only bonus levels to get you bigger score and if you fail them it is not game over. So basically to win this game after level starts you have to move mouse over chamber and hold it there for 3 seconds and after it as fast as possible aim and shoot your opponent(head preferred). That is basically pretty much it and also as you go higher in the levels your opponents get faster and more difficult. If you get bored starting from the beginning every time you have been killed you can check and use some nice cheats at Gunblood Western Shootout Cheats. We hope that you will have fun and enjoy while playing Gunblood.

Moments. The biggest ones that make your heart leap. The most insignificant ones that escape your consciousness. The ones when you laugh till your belly hurts. The ones that you'd rather others not know about. There are, too, the quiet ones when time stands still, and those pauses that seem to take far too long to skip. They make up our lives, our passage here in the world we know, and they make more difference, in the lives of the people who love you, than you think they do.
When I was on the cusp of my teens through to my twenties, I hated being photographed. I didn't know how to smile for the camera and I certainly didn't like the way I looked. All that changed when I started dating the love of my life. Suddenly, I was desperate to record every waking moment spent with M, determined not to let those times slip away because…really, I have the memory of a goldfish and I don't want to forget the moments that we share. Never mind the huge cystic pimple on my nose when I headed to London to visit him, never mind the crooked teeth, I just wanted to capture as many smiles (awkward ones too) as possible.
When I moved to London, I dabbled in very (very) amateur photography. It started with food photography and styling, and then I tried my hand at taking travel shots. M often rolled his eyes at me for trying to take photographs of him too, but hey, good or bad, we now have tonnes of memories to fill the album with.
Now that we have children, I make it a point to do a family photoshoot once a year, much to the horror of M initially. "A few hundred bucks spent on photos?!" That's what he used to say until he saw the coffee table albums I put together and realised how precious it was to be able to thumb through beautifully captured moments of the kids growing up and of our family just hanging out together. It has come to a point where he goes, "Let's get A (our usual family photographer) to take our photographs again this year!" Because you see, sometimes when life gets tough and discouraging, M and I often snuggle up in bed at night to look at our family photos, and that is all it takes to get us back up on our feet again.
Not all photoshoots are created equal though. I had one where the photographer physically moved our body parts (can I just say we were absolutely stiff and it was hard for the photog to move us too) so that we looked perfect for the shot; while that works for people who aren't as stiff and are more intuitive at posing for photographs (I am absolutely envious of people who know how to work the camera), M and I just end up looking and feeling ridiculous and self-conscious because we aren't naturals in front of the camera.
When Gideon from Grow Old With Me approached us to do a photoshoot, the first thing I did was to check out his portfolio to make sure that our styles align. As we aren't good in front of the camera, we needed a photographer who can coax genuine emotions out of us and that's what I saw in his work with other families. Eyes squeezed shut amidst hearty laughs, flailing arms that end in the biggest hugs, thoughtful, quiet exchanges, knowing smiles. And that's exactly what we got out of the hour we had with Gideon.
He made an effort to get to know us, what we do, who we are, how we parent; he even knows what makes us joyful and what makes us tick. My kids usually take pretty long to warm up to people but they took to Gideon very quickly. He has a way with children, getting to their eye levels, asking questions and playing games with them; that is pretty much how he worked his magic to get Faith and Ethan to be at ease and just hang out as they usually do with us. It didn't matter if two cameras were clicking away. The entire session was easy, comfortable and it felt like we were catching up with an old friend. Many shots were taken while we were still chatting away with Gideon, some were taken in the midst of a guided conversation we had with the kids, and others were captured when we were just having a grand ol' time being outdoors. Sure, the children did whine a little because of the heat, but that's to be expected anyway.
The best thing about Gideon is he wants to be there. He shared that Grow Old With Me came about because it was a natural progression to grow with the newlyweds that he has photographed, as they begin their journeys in parenthood. He recognises the ups and downs of parenthood, and sees each photoshoot as an opportunity for the family to bond. It is this that drives him to capture the moments that might have otherwise gone unnoticed in our daily lives, and I am thankful that he shared this ethos with us. Our exact sentiments, really.

I heard from Gideon that Grow Old With Me is looking to plan some activities that would help parents better capture moments with their children, and I honestly can't wait to see how that pans out.

Spotlighting CAMPEP Accredited Medical Physics Programs
With the new ABR rules in 2012 (see http://www.mdphysics.com/new-abr-certification-rule), if you intend to enter the field of medical physics, it would be beneficial–if not necessary–to plan ahead and to carefully choose which Medical Physics program you are going to attend. Starting in 2012, you must be enrolled in or have graduated from a CAMPEP accrediated school in order to qualify to sit for the ABR exam. Many schools offer medical physics programs, but not all are accrediated by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Educational Program (CAMPEP). mdphysics is planning to post some information on each school that offers an accredited medical physics program for those who are planing to pursue a degree in medical physics. Each school will be spotlighted in its own post, so if you have comments to offer regarding any of the programs, you may write them in the appropriate post.

Stanford offense 'vanilla,' Arizona coach says
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, September 14, 2011
Despite scoring 101 points in the first two games, Stanford's offensive approach so far has been "vanilla," according to Arizona coach Mike Stoops.
"They haven't shown nearly what they did a year ago," he said.
He gets no quarrel from Cardinal coach David Shaw on that score. "That's fair," Shaw said Tuesday.
That's not to say Stanford will employ any razzle-dazzle in Saturday night's Pac-12 opener against Arizona in the desert. But teams rarely show their full arsenal in one-sided victories over nonleague opponents.
The gloves may come off against Arizona, which lost to No. 9 Oklahoma State 37-14 after clobbering Northern Arizona in its opener 41-10.
This is nearly a meaningless statistic after just two games, but Stanford is ranked second in the nation in rushing defense, allowing 51 yards per game. Arizona meanwhile is averaging just 58 yards on the ground.
With good reason, the Wildcats rely on Nick Foles, who like Stanford's Andrew Luck is a big, talented quarterback from Texas who figures to go high in the NFL draft. Stanford got the best of Foles and the Wildcats last year 42-17, but the last time the teams met in Tucson, Arizona won a wild 43-38 shootout on Nic Grigsby's 57-yard run on a draw play with just under three minutes left.
"That was a tough one," Luck said. "Like the Wake Forest game (a 24-17 loss in 2009), I try to put it out of my memory."
Asked if Saturday's game might be a similar shootout, Shaw said, "Gosh, I hope not. I didn't like the way that one ended."
His team is much better and deeper on defense than that Stanford team was. The Cardinal showed at Duke that they can beat the heat and keep pressure on the quarterback. Safety Delano Howell, who had the worst case of cramps, is fine now, Shaw said.
Briefly: The Wildcats probably won't know until Thursday if Juron Criner can play. The conference's leading receiver last year had an appendectomy early last week and missed the Oklahoma State game. "If he's playing," Shaw said, "you'd better know where he is." ... A Duke defender had contact with Chris Owusu on the play in which a tipped pass was returned for a touchdown by the Blue Devils. Shaw didn't call the contact interference but Stanford sent a tape of the play to the officials for another look. Owusu said he was falling down before the pass got to him. "As a ref, I don't know if I'd make that call either."

Nectar of the golf gods
It also means that I can wax rhapsodic about all sorts of nonalcoholic beverages, since I've had ample opportunity to try as many as I can. From Blenheim ginger ale (and Vernors and Jamaican ginger beer) to Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray Soda to sweet tea, if it's cold and tastes more interesting than water, I'll give it a shot.
But now I've found it. I've found the drink I can take with me to the grave. Because now they're putting Arnold Palmers in cans. An Arnold Palmer, in case you don't know, is a mixture of half tea, half lemonade, and is without question one of the best drinks on earth. I was introduced to them when my friend Malcolm Gay (who just picked up a James Beard award ... nice work there) ordered one at the legendary Blueberry Hill. Since then I've been an avid fan of the drink.
Look: lemonade is a great drink, but it is flawed because its overwhelming sweetness and tartness make it difficult to quaff in quantity (the citric acid can also cause a little problem). Ice tea is drinkable unto infinity, but even with a twist of lemon and some sugar, it kinda just lays there. Oh, but the Arnold Palmer! A strong tea bite with mellow lemon sweetness as an aftertone. A nice jolt of caffeine, but nothing you couldn't drink all day. And I do. The canned version, produced by canny Arizona, is even made with Splenda, so it's pretty low calorie. (I know, talk of calories is against the ideals of this site, but I'm looking for an all-day drink here).
The website says they're planning on making one-gallon fridge-ready jugs. Oh, boy.
(speaking of drinks, Randall Roberts, another friend (and a James Beard finalist himself), writes the popular Drink of the Week column for the Riverfront Times. This week sounds pretty sinful. Check it out.

While giant snowdrifts are a commonplace in some parts of the world the last few weeks have seen the UK hit by some of the worst snow in decades causing this giant snow canyon to form in the Lake District.
Although Quebec City has warm summers with average highs of 25C, the winter brings extreme cold with average highs of just -6C, lows of -18C and an average of 124 inches of snow over the 165 day season. If you thought getting your car de-iced and out the driveway were a struggle over the last few weeks, take a look at these photos for some real wintery conditions!
And I thought clearing 6 inches of snow off my drive last week was a chore. I think we should count ourselves lucky looking at those! A driveway is one thing but digging out your entire house is another!
It seems that the only way to commute is to build yourself a car igloo or employ alternative forms of transport. I'm afraid I can't say I've ever had to park my snowmobile on the roof of my house and use a skylight or window as my front door in the UK!
Here's one money saving way to insulate your home in the winter months, it's certainly cheaper than fibreglass and why not save on electricity as well as the heating bill by using nature's very own fridge!
While Quebec City may be one of the snowiest metropolitan areas in the world, the village of Damls in the Austrian Alps was officially named the World's Snowiest Village with an average of 9.3 metres of snow per year.
Damls sits at an altitude of between 1430 and 2100 metres in the Northern Alps and receives such an incredible amount of snow due to stalled weather patterns behind the mountains. The consistent and massive snowfall makes the town an incredibly popular ski destination with 93km of ski runs, 22 lifts, 16 cross-country ski trails, 22.5km of winter hiking trails and a 3.5km natural toboggan run. It really is a beautiful place.
While the extremes are a benefit to Damls, this isn't the case when the snow hits hard in Russia. Check out these pictures of a real Russian winter.
With the big freeze about to set back in here, taking a look at the pictures above makes what we've just experienced look like a little bit of winter frost! It will certainly make me think twice before I give up on getting my car out on a morning.
While the Canadian and Russian winters are notorious, here are some more places famous for their dramatic snowfall come winter:
Mount Rainier is actually a 14,203 foot high active volcano, part of the Cascade Mountain Range, situated in Pierce County, Washington in the Mount Rainier National Park just south of Seattle. Between February 1971 and 1972 the mountain saw 1224 inches of snow, a new record for the USA!
Mount Baker, Washington
Mount Baker is another active volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range and sits around 4000 feet lower that Mount Rainier at 10,781 feet. Despite Mount Rainier seeing a record amount of snow between February 1971 and 1972, the official 'snow season' falls between July 1st and June 30th and ts during this period that Mount Baker saw the record snowfall for a single season, a staggering 1140 inches! Photo credit
Silver Dollar Lake, Colorado
Although the average yearly snowfall at Silver Dollar Lake, Colorado isn't too dramatic, on the 14th April 1921 this area witnessed the largest amount of snow in a single day in US history. Records show that the snow began at 2:30pm, by the afternoon of the following day 75.8 inches had fallen and by the time the storm subsided an astounding 87 inches of snow had fallen!
Syrcause, New York
Due to the nor'easter snow and lake effect from the nearby Lake Ontario, Syracuse in the state of New York takes the crown of 'America's Snowiest City'. The city, with a population of over 140,000 has received an average of 115.6 inches per year in recent times and has a massive record snowfall of 192.1 inches in a single year. The state of New York in general is the snowiest state in the US, of the 15 cities with the highest annual snowfall, 10 of them are situated in New York.
Even Europe doesn't miss out on monster snow, check out this wall of snow on the Grobglockner Pass going into Croatia.
Here are the official stats for the snowiest places in America:

Website will tell you who died in your house
Published 1:31 pm, Tuesday, October 15, 2013
A South Carolina man has a website with one simple purpose: telling you if someone has died inside your home.
Roy Condrey is the co-CEO and president of Diedinhouse.com, which shows homeowners — or potential buyers — whether or not someone died inside a residence. It's an especially ghoulish line of work for some, but for those purchasing or selling a home it could mean thousands of dollars.
It's harder to sell a house for top dollar — even one with every modern amenity — when a buyer knows that something grisly has happened there. It creates a headache for realtors and sellers alike.
The inspiration for the site came when a tenant renting Condrey's Columbia, S.C., property told him the house was haunted. Condrey just assumed there was a law to require disclose a death in a residence, but discovered there is not. He also found that some states have laws that permit sellers and agents to not disclose such information.
"It occurred to me that a service which told people who died in their homes before they moved in would be popular," says Condrey. "It's harder to find things like this out than you think."
Houston real estate agent Danelle Reed with Martha Turner Properties reminds that Texas is a non-disclosure state.
"Per the Texas Association of Realtors Seller's Disclosure form it is not a requirement to disclose a non-violent death that occurred on the property. However, a violent death — like a murder — must be disclosed," Reed said.
Reed adds that it is her company's policy to instruct sellers to disclose any and all material facts that pertain to the property in order for the buying public to make an informed decision.
California and Texas are where Condrey says he gets the most traffic. In California, there are many famous murders and deaths and a fascination with the macabre.
In Texas, you can find the Clear Lake home where Andrea Yates drowned her five children in a bathtub in June 2001. You can also find the Fort Worth home of Chante Mallard, who in late 2001, hit a homeless man while drunk driving and left him bleeding to death on the hood of her car in her garage while she continued to party. She was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison in 2003.
You can look up reports on the homes of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, murder victims Jose Menendez and Kitty Menendez, and actor Phil Hartman. Condrey shows me records on the house where the Clutter family died in Kansas, the case that was detailed in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.
Condrey and his small team of developers had been working on the site for a year before launching it on June 1.
Condrey says they've processed thousands of information requests. After a user plugs in an address, his site scours a multitude of sources to deliver information on previous owners and whether or not anyone met their demise inside the residence.
The stigma of a death in a home, especially a violent killing, can linger forever.
"It would bother me if I knew someone died in my house," says Condrey. "For instance, I couldn't live in a house where there was a murder-suicide."
A quiet death, Condrey says, would be easier for some to deal with.
Some realtors shun what Condrey does, he says, mainly because he costs them money on what they call "stigmatized properties," but he says he's just providing a needed, legitimate service to the public. He's begun to notice some realtors coming around to the site and even running searches on their own, which means tides are turning.
There was the story of Janet Milliken who moved from California to Pennsylvania in 2007 with her two children, after her husband had died. She bought a house for $610,000, which she later found out had been the site of a murder-suicide a year and a half earlier.
The Milliken family was still reeling from their own experience with death and having curious kids coming by on Halloween to gawk at their home as the place where a man killed himself and his wife didn't help matters.
Milliken sued for fraud and misrepresentation, claiming the owners and real estate agents duped her. The judge ruled against her, saying Pennsylvania state law does not require agents to disclose such events to buyers. She's since appealed to the state Supreme Court.
"Some people don't have a problem with knowing someone died in their home," says Condrey. "But when you remind them that this knowledge could affect their home values, they change their tune."
Condrey has been a guest on numerous morning shows, and he's even done Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, which was a shot in the arm for business. Response has been positive, Condrey says.
Nearly 8,000 likes on Facebook and 54,000 page views aren't too shabby for a site that works on what Condrey calls a small budget with only three people on staff. Of course, not everyone buys the $11.99 report, but they still gawk.
Aside from prospective home buyers, Condrey also hears from ghost hunters and those with a morbid curiosity looking for new places to visit.
People are more apt to be OK with a death in home decades and decades back. After all, people spend hundreds of dollars to stay at the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast Museum, he says. A more recent or gruesome death is harder to deal with, it seems.
I've checked my own apartment and it's clear, if you were wondering. Would it change my mind about my Montrose two-bedroom space? I would probably think twice about staying another year.

Tomas Borge, Sandinistas' last surviving founder, dies aged 81
Tomás Borge Martínez, the last surviving founder of the Sandinista guerrilla movement that overthrew Nicaragua's US-backed rightwing dictatorship in 1979, died on Monday night. He was 81.
Rosario Murillo, the wife of President Daniel Ortega, announced the death in a simultaneous broadcast on several radio stations. Murillo, who also serves as a government spokeswoman, did not give a cause of death, but the military had said previously that Borge was being treated for pneumonia and other ailments.
Borge joined Carlos Fonseca Amador and others in 1961 to found the National Sandinista Liberation Front. It was named after Augusto Cesar Sandino, who fought against US military intervention in Nicaragua in the 1930s. Ortega joined the front later and became its leader.
"Like Carlos Fonseca, he [Borge] is one of the dead who never die," Murillo said in the emotional announcement, her voice appearing to break at times. "He will always be with us in the Sandinista Front." She said memorial and funeral plans would be announced later.
Borge was an incendiary speaker, combative personality and avid admirer of the communist governments in Cuba and North Korea. He was central to both the overthrow of Anastasio Somoza Debayle and the establishment of a junta which later became an elected Sandinista government. He became the target of the Contra rebels supported by the Reagan administration.
Jailed twice by Somoza's brutal dynastic dictatorship, Borge was himself accused of human rights violations as the powerful interior minister during the elected Sandinista administration, which governed from 1985 until 1990 when it was voted out of power. He worked from a six-storey building that bore the slogan "Guardian of the People's Happiness," and controlled the police, immigration agents, jails and even firefighters, often using his nearly unbounded powers to punish the Sandinistas' enemies in the press, Catholic church and private business.
Miskito Indians living along Nicaragua's Caribbean coast alleged Borge orchestrated the displacement and killing of Miskitos suspected of anti-Sandinista activities, said Marcos Carmona, president of Nicaragua's Standing Commission on Human Rights. He was also accused of ordering the killing of 37 opposition members in a jail in the city of Granada during Ortega's first term in office, something Borge always denied.
A staunch defender of the Sandinistas and Ortega, who won back the presidency in 2007 and was re-elected last year, Borge once wrote that "the return of the right is inconceivable" and pledged before the 2011 presidential election that the Sandinistas would stay in power "forever". Asked that year whom he most admired, he responded: "First, Fidel Castro. Second, Fidel Castro. Third, Fidel Castro. Fourth, Fidel Castro. Fifth, Fidel Castro."
Congressman Jacinto Suarez called Borge "a transcendental figure in Nicaraguan history, not just for his founding of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, but for his fight to free the Nicaraguan people from Somoza's dictatorship. He added: "I knew him for 40 years and we always had a friendly relationship, but due to his strong character it was impossible not to have some kind of rift with him."
Renowned Nicaraguan writer Gioconda Belli, a Sandinista who later broke with the movement, said: "For a good portion of the Nicaraguan revolution, Tomís Borge sought to embody its free-flowing, original character," Belli said. "Grandiose and unpredictable, he could be tough with one hand and extremely generous with the other. He was a good friend of his friends. After 1990, I have the sense he gave up his revolutionary illusions ... He ended up a tragic-comic figure."
Belli said on Monday that Borge's death "has made me very sad". She said: "I feel as if an era of Sandinismo died with him, notwithstanding the fact that he did not end his life as valiantly as he once lived it."
Borge was born on 13 August 1930, to a poor family in the city of Matagalpa, north of the capital. He left university before graduating and dedicated himself to the struggle against the hated Somoza family, which ran Nicaragua almost as an extended plantation from 1937 until it was toppled by the Sandinistas in July 1979.
Economists estimate the Somozas owned about 20% of the country's arable land, as well as sugar mills, banks, credit companies, cattle ranches, fishing fleets, construction companies, florists and other businesses.
In 1956, Borge was arrested and jailed for three years on charges of involvement in a plot that ended with the assassination of dictator Anastasio Somoza Garcia by the poet Rigoberto López Pérez. Borge escaped from jail and took refuge in Honduras, El Salvador and Costa Rica.
After returning to Nicaragua, Borge helped found the Sandinista movement.
In January 1978, the Somoza regime was seriously weakened when opposition journalist Pedro Joaquin Chamorro, editor of the newspaper la Prensa, was murdered by a hired gunman named Domingo Acevedo and four accomplices. Chamorro's widow, Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, blamed the assassination on officials in the former Somoza government, who fled into exile after the dictator was toppled. All five gunmen were later convicted, but Mrs Chamorro pardoned them after she was elected president in 1990.
Imprisoned for subversive activities at the time of Chamorro's killing, Borge was liberated in August 1978 by a Sandinista commando force that attacked the National Palace, took legislators hostage and traded them for a group of Sandinista guerrillas who then escaped to Cuba.
Borge became minister of the interior after the Sandinista victory in July 1979 that toppled Somoza Debayle, the son of Somoza Garcia.
As interior minister, Borge was accused of expelling and harassing clergymen during the war against the Contras, imposing strict censorship of the press and closing media outlets
In August 1982, the Rev Bismark Carballo, director of Catholic Radio, was arrested by Sandinista police, stripped naked and taken to a police station. The official press at the time said he had been attacked by a jealous husband who found the priest with his wife.
At about the same time, Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega and four priests were expelled from Nicaragua, accused by the government of helping the US-backed Contras.
A businessman allied with the opposition, Jose Castillo Osejo, claimed he was taken to Borge's office and was beaten by the minister.
Borge also imposed strict censorship on la Prensa, whose director, Mrs Chamorro, defeated the Sandinistas and was elected president in 1990.
During Borge's time in power, the government created Sandinista defence councils known as "the eyes and ears of the revolution" which exist today as citizen empowerment councils run by Murillo.
The reputation of Borge and other Sandinista officials were hurt by what Nicaraguans called the "pinata" – the hurried distribution of confiscated properties to Sandinista officials in the weeks before they left office after losing the 1990 election. A former comrade, poet and priest Ernesto Cardenal, wrote a book alleging that Borge was a millionaire, something he vigorously denied.
After Chamorro's 1990 election victory, Borge became a congressman for the Sandinista National Liberation Front and was serving as ambassador to Peru when he fell ill.
Borge is survived by his second wife and four children.

Hello, Lovely Ladies
Here, I am with my first review of Eva Mini Deo. Since, a long time I was looking for this but, couldn't buy it because of its non-availability. As soon as I looked at it, I couldn't resist buying it.
8ml for Rs.30
Shelf Life:
2 years from the manufactured date
My Experience:
Packaging: The packaging is quite good a pocket size tiny-miny deo that doesn't bother me if kept in my handbag and it totally convinced me with its fragrance.
It has other two mini variants in blue and orange packaging. It comes in a cute slender packaging. Mine has a girly pink color. The bottle comes with a nozzle spray. Quantity is 8ml, of course for Rs. 30 it's good enough for me what more I can expect at this price? Due to its light-weight and pocket size it comes very handy while traveling. Just throw it in your bag so that you can use it anytime wherever you want to.
Fragrance: The fragrance is floral with a musky touch to it, not too over-powering though. The shelf life of 2 years is pretty good. But, I would suggest better use it up once you start using it. I have noticed that the fragrance lasts for a long time. But, it just smells doesn't really provides a 100% protection against sweat. Overall, I would say if you want an inexpensive deo with a decent fragrance for short time go for it.
- Cute packaging
- Pocket size and light-weight so, easy to carry
- Inexpensive
- Fragrance is good and not too over-powering
- Available in different variants
- Contains alcohol
- I am not sure how much helpful it would be in summers
- Quantity – Here, I will give it a benefit of doubt as for the price its good enough for me looking at the fragrance.
MABH Rating: 3.5/5
Do I recommend?:
If you're looking for a pocket size deo spray, or soon you're planning for a traveling, or if you're looking for a change from your daily fragrance then, go for it as it won't hurt your pockets.
Will I repurchase?:
I won't be regular with this but, maybe I will come back to it whenever I want. Next, I will try the other variant not this one. But, will keep coming back to it.

This memorandum is in response to your correspondence dated October 6, 1975, requesting clarification of the required strength of flywheel guards.
The requirements of 29 CFR 1910.217(b)(1) applies to flywheels on all presses regardless of their distance in height from the floor, with construction such as described in 29 CFR 1910.219(b)(1)(i). In addition, the design of the brackets is intended to be of such strength to contain the wheel if the shaft should break or the wheel come off. A widely used basis for design of these brackets is the ability to support twice the static weight of parts to be contained. There is no provision for the guard to retain fragments in the event of disintegration.

I read Gregg Erickson's letter defending Sen. Elton and attacking Republicans with utter amazement at his disregard for the truth.
Related Link:
Blocked then blamed
In his defense of Sen. Elton, he said that Sen. Adams had been denied a seat on the Senate Finance Committee two years earlier. If he checked the Senate Journal, Jan. 19, 1999, page 10, he would see that Sen. Adams was appointed to the Senate Finance Committee. If he had paid attention for two years he would have noticed that Sen. Adams served on the Finance Committee during the 21st Legislature (1999-2000).
To borrow a famous analogy, I know Sen. Adams, and Sen. Elton is no Sen. Adams. Unlike Sen. Elton, Sen. Adams did not lose a seat on the Finance Committee.

Martinez: Philosophy bearing fruit
Roberto Martinez was always confident Wigan could play their way out of the Barclays Premier League relegation dogfight.
The Latics find themselves five points clear of the bottom three following four wins in their last five matches after adding a 2-1 victory at Arsenal on Monday night to memorable triumphs at Anfield and over leaders Manchester United.
"I always believe the only way you can get out of relegation is by playing well," the Wigan boss said. "If you do not get the results, you need to find a way to win, but it is not about short-term ambition, to sneak a win here or there, because that is not going to be enough."
It is some turnaround in fortunes, with Wigan having plummeted to the foot of the table following a run of eight consecutive defeats from mid-September to early November - which were followed by four on the spin in January.
Martinez has always defended his philosophy of staying true to their passing game, building the team around the likes of livewire Victor Moses - who caused Arsenal's defence all sorts of problems last night - and it is one which now has started to deliver.
He added: "The system suits our players, you have to be a bit different to get an advantage if you are brave enough to get on the ball. We are flexible enough to change it, and we have had to adapt in certain games.
"However, systems do not win you games, it is the attitude of the players."
The manager accepts it has not been an easy path back towards top-flight survival, which had for so long looked out of reach.
"Because we started so poorly and were in the bottom positions, it takes confidence away," he said. "It was an uphill battle to have that belief, I want the team to be brave and arrogant on the ball.
"That takes good results, probably this week will be a very important moment in our season. Now is the moment to regroup, recover and make sure we approach the next four games with the same intensity."

I liked this movie. I am not a poker player but do gamble on horse racing. Even though the movie is a little long I never lost interest. They moved the story line along well and explained the poker action to non knowledgable viewers. It also worked on various levels, family relations, legal thriller and all the various situations Molley faced.
Loved it from start to finish.
Jessica Chastain is a bad ass in this movie! From her acting, her outfits, her confidence in tough situations.
Great portrayal of a female lead without any nudity ! Bravo
Idris Elba has some great dialogues in this as well.
Go see it!
Production was great!
This movie was excellent!
Best movie Ive seen in years. And that its a trie story is unbeleivable. Molly was able to re-invent herself at every challenge she faced with grit, smarts and determination. Which is evident in that after retiring from running her poker games she became a CIA anti-terrorism analyst and Molly caught Osama Bin Laden a few years later!
Great story,want to see it again, Chic has a set.
Not quite as boring as Manchester By The Sea...but it really comes close.
Molly's lame.
I had no expectations about what this movie was about; don't even know how to play poker; didn't even know it was based on a true story. This was fantastic story! Well done and wow, to the real Molly Bloom. You got balls bigger than any guy I know. I'll be reading your book also!
seems like most viewers went to see Chastaine, not the movie.
This movie is only for those with high iq

While there are obvious virtues to using cell phones and the internet, technology is simultaneously making children vulnerable and exposing them to exploitation and danger. Cyber bullying, gaming, webcams, social networking, sexting, inappropriate content, blogging, identity theft, revealing too much private information, email, instant messaging, chat rooms and online sexual predators can harm children of all ages.
Male or female sexual predators are not always stereotypical creepy people and may be surprisingly pleasant in appearance and charming in nature. Some are sexually explicit from the start and others slowly seduce with attention, kindness and gifts. Some are content to simply exchange sexually explicit materials and others seek in-person meetings or sexual encounters.Children can be victimized face-to-face or by words and pictures or photos sent in the mail or electronically. Without recognizing the danger, some adolescent children may be unknowingly lured by and attracted to dangerous online offenders close to their age even if they are not a child molester. It is critical to have open communication with children of all ages to avoid these serious issues.
Minimize Online Exploitation of your Children:
- Communicate regularly with your children and talk to them about sexual victimization and online danger.
- Teach your child how to access resources appropriately and how to use the internet responsibly.
- Make the following information clear to your children:
- Do not meet people in person that you met online.
- Do not provide your photo to strangers or upload photos of yourself to online services. On Facebook, limit the viewing of your photos to friends.
- Do not give out personal information such as your name, home address, school name, or home or cell phone numbers.
- Do not download pictures from strangers or unknown senders.
- Do not respond to inappropriate messages or postings that are evocative, suggestive, obscene, belligerent, or harassing.
- Do not assume everything on the internet is true, honest or legitimate. People are often dishonest online and online communication may be true or false.
- Know what your children are doing online and where they are going online by spending time with them while they are online.
- Always have access to your children's computers – keep track of their logon passwords, if necessary.
- Do not allow computers in children's bedrooms. It is much more difficult for a sex offender to communicate with a child when the communication is visible to other members of the household.
- Use blocking software and parental controls provided by service providers. Chat rooms can be a great place for children to make new friends and to discuss important and interesting topics, but online sex offenders are known to prowl chat rooms and their use should be carefully monitored. Parents should use parental controls and blocking software but should not rely on them. There is no substitution for communicating with your child and knowing what they are doing firsthand.
- Maintain access to children's online accounts and occasionally check children's e-mail. Be aware that your child can also be contacted through regular mail. Do not let your child perceive you as a snoop. It is important for your child to know what you are doing and why.
- Find out what computer safeguards are in place at other locations where your child has access to a computer. (School, library, friends' homes.) There are multiple unsupervised places where a child could encounter an online predator.
- Block your home telephone number from appearing on other's Caller ID. Use Caller ID on your home telephone so callers need to unblock their telephone number to connect
Signs That A Child May Be At Risk:
- Child spends excessive amount of time online, especially at night. Offenders are online at all times however, most work during the day and troll for pornography and child victims at night.
- Child quickly changes the screen or turns the computer monitor off when a parent enters the room. Children looking at pornography or having sexually explicit conversations do not want others to see.
- Child gets angry when he or she cannot get to the computer.
- Pornography is found on a child's computer. Sex offenders often supply children with pornography to initiate sexual discussions and for seduction.
- Child receives phone calls from adults parents do not know or makes calls, sometimes long distance, to unrecognized numbers. Sex offenders are excited and thrilled by online communication but also engage in phone sex and in-person sex. Sex offenders will provide their numbers to children who are unwilling to give them theirs. They can easily obtain phone numbers with Caller ID and some provide toll-free numbers or tell children to call them collect to prevent their parents from knowing about the relationship.
- Child receives mail, gifts, or packages from someone the parents don't know. Offenders often send letters, photographs, airline or bus tickets, and gifts such as cell phones and webcams as part of their seduction.
- Child becomes withdrawn from the family and friends. Sexual victimization can change a child's personality and sex offenders may strive to intentionally turn a child against their family.
- Child uses someone else's online account. Children can use computers out of the home – those belonging to a friend or a library, for example. Cyber criminals may provide children with a computer account in order to facilitate communication.
What To Do If You Suspect Your Child Is In Contact With A Sexual Predator:
- Do not hesitate to ask your child questions and to talk about your suspicions.
- Review contents of your child's computer(s) and other devices regularly. If you don't know how, get instructions from someone who does know how to do this. Sexually explicit communication and pornography signal an issue.
- Monitor your child's access to all types of live electronic communications such as chat rooms and instant messages and monitor your child's e-mail. Online sex offenders often meet potential victims via chat rooms and they usually continue to communicate via e-mail.
- Let your child know what is considered inappropriate online.
- Discuss the dangers of online sex offenders and predators.
- Understand that even if your child participated willingly in any form of sexual exploitation, your child is the victim. The offender bears the full responsibility for his or her actions.
Steps To Take If Your Child Has Been In Contact With A Sexual Predator:
- If you feel your child is in danger, make a report to www.cybertipline.com and contact your local law-enforcement agency immediately. You can also contact your local FBI branch , or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 if:
- Your child (or anyone else in your household) received child pornography
- Your minor child is sexually solicited by someone who knows that your child is a minor (under age 18)
- Your child receives sexually explicit images from someone that knows your child is a minor
- If you find evidence of pornography, sexually explicit images, e-mails etc., keep the computer or device turned off to preserve evidence for law enforcement use. Unless directed to do so by law enforcement, do not copy inappropriate images or text.
