Absolute Death generally eliminates bed bugs within 30 day of treatment, providing infestations haven't been established over 60 days. Absolute death offers the organic approach on eliminating bedbugs vs the synthetic treatment that is normally used with other pest control companies.
The great benefit of using an organic treatment is the toxicity level oppose to the synthetic product which is man made. Organic treatment is made of essential oils, which only requires you to vacate treated area for 4-5 hours vs 24 hours or more when a synthetic product is used. However, we can use the traditional approach if preferred by client.
Absolute Death can provide same day pest control services for those emergency situations. In often cases exterminators can be dispatched promptly and be at your front door within an hour if you live in Brooklyn, Manhattan – NYC, Queens, Staten Island or the Bronx. We are very discreet with our arrival. We use unmarked vehicles for your privacy, so your next door neighbor doesn't have to know you have bed bugs.
We provide affordable rates, although an organic solution is chosen by client.
Our technicians are extremely professional with adequate insignia on uniforms which informs clients who we are. Technicians are very knowledgable with many years of experience, in fact our senior technician acquires 22 years plus, of on field experience which still services our clients today. Best Regards,

Most any cool rice-noodle salad is great for us in the summer. We've made this off-and-on since it was in the magazine, and here's what we've changed. Thin-slice the herbs rather than chopping. Add 1/3c basil, if you have it. Have everything prepped & at room temp, keeping the five components separate til serving (noodles, dressing, shrimp, greens, nuts). Rather than toss all together, put noodles in serving bowls then top with portions of greens, shrimp, nuts (as if you were serving VN bun). Then put dressing on top.

Waw, do I like those brushes! This may sound a bit noobish but is there a specific way so I can import these in photoshop?
Thx for the response!
Thanks for the compliments, everyone!
Sorry it has been so long since last I updated. The real world has been keeping me busy, but I have found enough time to put city and nation names on the map. I've pinched the name components from a glossary of Scandinavian/Old Norse place name components, to keep consistency with the Norse inspired fiction of the setting.
Attached is the preview of the map at 50% zoom. Next will come the scale, legend, and compass rose. I don't think I'll be putting on a fancy border, as I don't want to distract from the map itself (which is the entire point of the venture).
Let me know what you think.
Its alive!
My only critic is your Ocean color choice, it See it As a Lot distracting
Very nice map indeed. I agree the ocean colour is bit off-putting, but the map is darn good! Don't ask me what colour it should be, I've no idea!
I think the contrast of things is great, and there's a good bit of detail in everything. Nice work!
Thanks for the compliments!
I've reduced the opacity of the ocean blue by 10% and it now matches the luminosity of the plains green, so it now fits well visually.
I've also begun work on the key and scale, which goes well so far. No need for an updated preview yet, as there's not enough change worth showing.
I only would put the oceans grey tones to multiply and reduce opacity by 30%
So I've finished adding the key, scale, and compass rose. It's also worth noting that the continent has had its name changed to Aeviheim to fit with the rest of the norse place names and the fiction of the setting (which there is about 10,000 words written on so far, but that's another story).
The image, however, is rather large. Even the 50% scaled version is too big to upload to these forums. This map is, after all, meant to be printed out on an A1 piece of paper.
So, since I can't upload it here, I've uploaded the 50% scaled preview image to my own site for easy access. Let me know what you think, and if anything could be improved. If not, this will be the final version, and I'll post it in the completed maps section.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Children as young as six were sparing on Saturday as a part of the Louisville Fencing Center's monthly competition.
Young fencers are taught the basics of the Olympic sport and given a chance to show their skills. The competition was also designed to help students prepare for a stricter tournament experience.
"They're psychologically ready for everything they have to deal with, plus it's kind of fun. The kids get to come out and spar a little bit, it's not like a classroom environment," said Ken Hagen, a fellow fencer.
The Louisville Fencing Center is located in the 1400 block of W. Muhammed Ali Blvd. They provide fencing summer camps for kids ages six and up, starting in June.

Best Auricular Acupuncture Areas for Unilateral Migraines
Acupuncture is an often used and effective option for the non pharmaceutical treatment of migraines. There are a host of options when treating patients with migraines with regards to the theory underlying your treatment point selections to the actual techniques used.
Auricular acupuncture (a microsystem of acupuncture using points in the ear to treat a broad range of conditions) is an often used modality as it is easy to apply and is effective for a number of conditions including problems in the head and brain. A study was recently performed by researchers at the Women's Headache Center at the University of Turin in Italy looking at the best auricular zones for the treatment of unilateral migraine pain in women.
A small initial study involving 15 women experiencing migraine headaches found that the most effective areas were the antero-internal part of the antitragus, the anterior part of the lobe and the upper auricular concha ipsilateral to the side of pain. With auricular needle stimulation in these areas pain was controlled within 30 minutes for a period of 24 hours (or more, the study concluded after 24 hours).

Baby Fat in a Bottle
Some babies aren't born with baby fat—they get it from a bottle. Or so a growing number of studies suggest. Advocates of breastfeeding have long suspected that bottle-fed babies face a greater risk of obesity later in life than their breastfed nurserymates do. Now researchers seeking to understand the ever-expanding obesity epidemic have found evidence that they're right. At a recent conference sponsored by both the University of California at Berkeley's Center for Weight and Health and the California Department of Health Services, experts analyzed data from studies worldwide. The most compelling research came from Scottish scientists at the University of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University. They studied 32,200 Scottish children and found that those who were breastfed during infancy were 30 percent less likely to become obese as children. How to account for the findings? One possibility is that breastfed babies are better "programmed" against overeating later in life, because parents who use bottles tend to overfeed. Babies fed on breast milk have also recently been shown to have lower levels of leptin, a protein associated with obesity, than formula-fed infants. And some suspect that because most infant formula is made with sucrose rather than lactose (the natural sugar in breast milk), bottle-fed babies may be more likely to develop a preference for processed sugar. To be sure, no one is suggesting that breastfeeding is a magic bullet against obesity: All sorts of environmental and genetic factors contribute to the tendency to put on pounds. But the mounting evidence of the effects of infant nutrition is hard to ignore.

WAYNE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Teachers spent Monday in the cafeteria at Wayne High School. They weren't in front of the classroom, for a change. Instead, they were seated in small groups -- as students.
John Strebe, a teacher himself, gives workshops like Monday's at Wayne all across the country. The goal -- to help teachers improve their lessons and get kids more involved in what they're learning.
With nationwide discussions about improving test scores and raising standards in education, Strebe aims to make learning more interactive. He split the Wayne teachers into small teams and made the day about working together to compete for points.
"What I'm trying to let teachers do is experience a classroom where the classroom has been structured into learning teams, not in rows like we often see kids," Strebe said.
Strece said too often teachers seat kids in alphabetical order in the classroom. As an eighth-grader, he said, that meant he sat in the back row of his algebra classroom and felt detached from what he was supposed to be learning.
"Suppose the teacher had put an equation on the overhead, and I had a partner. And after a period of time, I could lean over and say, 'Did you get this? Oh, you didn't. Show me how you did that,' " Strebe said of the team-based methods he teaches.
Stephanie Smith, a high school English teacher, said the techniques are useful in the classroom.
"If you don't keep [the students] engaged, then they disconnect and you've lost them," Smith said.
Smith said Strebe's team-building methods allow teachers to reach out to kids who are otherwise "unreachable."
"They're disconnected before they come into the classroom because maybe they have a lot of things going on outside of school," Smith said. "They like to have ownership, they like to be able to choose and have some say-so in what they learn."
Strebe said in the 26 years he's been doing these workshops and using the methods in his own teaching, he has heard positive feedback from kids and teachers, who say the experience extends beyond the classroom.
"When you go out to work for a company, you're going to have to work with other people and you're going to have to share with them your ideas," Strebe said. "They're going to criticize them, critique them, they're going to praise them, they're going to add to them."
As a bonus, Strebe said, students do better on standardized tests because they get more out of what they are learning and their relationships with their classmates.
"If you can get kids to care about one another, it's going to affect learning in a positive way, but I have an idea it's going to affect their lives in a positive way, too," he said.

enchanted fragrance i have wanted this fragrance since i saw it but found the eau de parfume to heavy and did not suit me, this being a lighter scent still has all the allure but not so cloying. i would recommend it to try if you find the perfume abit over powering. i love it and think it makes you feel that extra bit special when wearing.

As the first decade of the 21st century draws to a close, a quick reminder of the remarkable cannabis-related reforms in Montana:
2001: Two years after Montana NORML volunteers penned a House Resolution calling upon federal authorities to end the prohibition of industrial hemp, the Montana legislature legalizes the crop, and directs the Department of Agriculture to develop rules regulating implementation. (The Department finally issues its first permit in 2009.) Nationwide, support for treating marijuana as a legal substance hovers around 31%.
2004: Montana legalizes medical marijuana by citizens' initiative. Montana NORML publicizes the signature gathering campaign and rallies support in the public. The initiative passes by a record margin of any other state at the time. More people voted for marijuana than George W. Bush (who won decisively in Montana). Nationwide, support for treating marijuana as a legal substance hovers around 34%.
2006: Missoula County voters pass Initiative #2, which calls upon government law enforcement agents to treat adult marijuana use as their lowest possible priority. County officials later amend the initiative to apply only to misdemeanors, causing great public outcry. The trend continues, and support for legal marijuana nationwide reaches 36%.
2009: The state legislature considers more marijuana legislation (good and bad) than in all previous sessions combined. The medical marijuana scene in Montana goes commercial, with lots of display advertising and storefronts opening in many cities, sending some cities scrambling to regulate — or temporarily ban — them. Over 5,000 patients registered, with as many as 500 new applications being sent in every week. Nationwide, support for legalizing marijuana approaches (or exceeds) 50%, with support strongest in the West, where most people want to legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol.
It was tremendous decade of reform, to be sure.
The Road Ahead:
Much work remains. The "wild west" character of the medical marijuana scene will likely provoke a backlash in the 2011 legislature. Patients & Families United and the new Medical Growers Association will need to be alert and ready to defend the interests of patients and caregivers against bad bills that unjustifiably restrict medical marijuana.
Montana NORML will push for both regulation and decriminalization bills in the 2011 legislature, and we're hopeful that in 2010 we (or our allies) will locate legislators with the courage to introduce them.
If you'd like to support our efforts, please join our mailing list, be our Facebook fan, follow us on Twitter, and consider making a donation. The future looks bright for cannabis reform, but we need all the help we can get.

The Poor are God's people!
Who is "The Poor"? who do you believe is poor people? I used to believe I was poor because I didn't go to college or because my family wasn't at the right place at the right time or worse of all because I was black. Many people who don't have Money are following God; many of them have close relationships with Jesus Christ; and would rather go broke than to sin and stray from him. I want to read to you Zachariah 7:10 And oppress not the Widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor, and let none of you imagine Evil against his brother in your heart. Many people all over this planet are poor because they decided to stop Sinning and started following Jesus. This world oppresses many of us financially simply because we have turned away from the world and started following Jesus in complete obedience. I also want to read to you the very next verses Zachariah 7:11-7:12 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words of which the LORD of host hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of host. Many "Poor People" are that way because we refuse to take advantage of people. Many people are rich because they are willing to rob, steal, and kill for monetary gain.

So, while I'm not Princess fan, I think it makes far more sense to spend the effort to eat in the Castle and see some characters.
Cindy is ok (actually excellent for MK), but there are only a few good things on the menu (I suggest the porkchops) and the cast members are overly stressed out
Now this isn't the end of the world but when you have a restaurant this hard to get a table at you expect better. They need ot bring back the old chef!!!

dear people making avengers 2:
either have cap actually use his utility belt
or make him fight evil sans pants.
there are our demands.
I've come to the conclusion that Cap's utility belt is entirely for storing snacks and travel-sized toiletries.
He doesn't use guns, so it's not bullets. He only has the one gadget and it's basically a giant frisbee. He never once bandages up a teammate.
Ergo: Cracker-Jack and Old Spice.

The Costs of Paying – Private and Social Costs of Cash and Card Payments
AbstractDespite the central role of payments in theoretical and policy oriented economics, there is surprisingly little known about the costs of different payment instruments. We estimate social and private costs of cash, debit and credit card payments in Sweden in 2002. The combined social cost of providing these payment services is approximately 0.4 per cent of GDP. Debit and credit cards are socially less costly than cash for payments above EURO 8 and EURO 18, respectively. Corresponding thresholds for consumers' private costs are somewhat higher. Data indicate a too extensive use of cash relative to card payments in terms of both private and social costs.

Bits & Pieces
Bits & Pieces lures the listener into an ear-catching, evocative sonic terrain, an acoustic metaphor of current political and economic crises. At first impression Bits & Pieces seems only like a haphazard accumulation of static noise, dirt, and interference on the listener's radio, but the radiophonic work soon turns into the precise acoustic image of a protagonist's footsteps on a brittle, fragile, inconsistent surface: literally and conceptually walking on 'breaking ground', audibly de-constructing, re-evaluating, tearing, revising and editing his world.
This conceptual work, which focuses on the destructive process of 'progress', was made especially for radio transmission on Radius.
Sound sculptor and media artist Timo Kahlen (born 1966), nominated for the German national "Sound Art Prize" ("Deutscher Klangkunst-Preis") in 2006, has presented his experimental media work in more than 90 solo and group exhibitions since the mid-1980s. Exhibitions include "Tonspur expanded: The Loudspeaker" (Vienna 2011), the "60x60" project (New York 2009), "MANIFESTA 7" (Italy 2008), "Sound Art 2006" (Marl, Cologne, Duisburg), "Wireless Experience" (Helsinki 2004), "Zeitskulptur" (Linz 1997) and "Timo Kahlen: Works with Wind", which inaugurated the Kunst-Werke Berlin in 1991.

Phoenix teens organize Dance-Off to save Coyotes
Al Rankin | Sep 24, 2009 | Comments 3
A plucky group of Glendale area teens aren't going to let the Phoenix Coyotes go without a fight.
Drama gripped the Coyote's bankruptcy proceedings last week as several teens burst into the courtroom and challenged prospective buyer Jim Balsillie to quote, "Bring It". Chaos erupted and several members of Balsillie's entourage were ejected from the court during the fracas.
Justice Redfield T. Baum, while initially skeptical of the motion, was nevertheless impressed by the ragtag group's dedication. Baum admitted that the case of Globex Inc. v Parkfield Rec Center did provide some precedent and court recordings show him musing that the plan was "just crazy enough to work".
Balsillie's lawyers objected strenuously, citing that there was no need to 'bring it' and that 'it', in fact, had already been brought. Observers say the Judge remained unswayed and categorized the use of double finger snaps by the Balsillie camp as "awkward".
When later asked for comment a suspiciously confident Balsillie hinted at trouble ahead for the courageous troupe. "Let's just say next week (lead dancer) Tatum Johnson might be having a … change of heart." Balsille then tented his fingers, dismissed the reporters and began to laugh ominously.

Sacramento, Calif. • That killer mentality Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin was looking for before tipoff Tuesday?
Utah's still searching for it. And with each close defeat - with each road loss the backsliding Jazz pile up - Utah's early-season vision of the playoffs continues to fade.
Faltering down the stretch yet again, the Jazz watched a slim fourth-quarter lead over the Sacramento Kings turn into a 103-96 defeat at Power Balance Pavilion.
Jazz-Kings box score: http://bit.ly/A82qIU
The loss erased one of Devin Harris' best offensive performances for Utah (15-18), and it continued a disturbing trend a Jazz team that's dropped four consecutive games started before the All-Star break.
For three quarters, Utah can hang. Then the fourth arrives. Without a closer, the Jazz's offense stalls. Lacking lockdown defenders, Utah watches opposing wings soar. And by the time Kings (12-22) forward DeMarcus Cousins had poured in game-highs in points (22) and rebounds (18), and fearless Sacramento guards Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Thornton had combined for 39 points, it was simply more of the same for a Jazz squad that's technically spent the last six weeks performing as one of the NBA's worst teams.
"I really don't know," said center Al Jefferson, who sighed heavily during the statement. "I don't know. It's just [we] make simple mistakes, miss shots. I don't know. It's like the same song on repeat. I don't know. I can't put my hand on it."
This is known: Utah's losses are starting to mount, and the team's lack of traction is becoming unavoidable.
The Jazz started the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season a surprising 9-4. Since then, Utah is just 6-14. It walked off the hardwood Tuesday stuck in fifth- and last-place in the Northwest Division, two games behind Minnesota and Denver. And while the Jazz can still eye the cutoff point for the Western Conference's eighth and final postseason spot, Utah's now just 3.5 games ahead of 14th-place Sacramento, which began the season as a near certainty to end the year dreaming of falling lottery balls by the time late April rolled around.
Factor in the Jazz's imposing March schedule - upcoming home contests against Houston and Miami; a five-game road trip with matchups at Dallas, Philadelphia and Chicago - and Utah's uneven record could force the team to become sellers at the trade deadline, even though the organization is holding ground now.
The Jazz's inability to either maintain or build upon leads is also creating a deja-vu effect. Jefferson's gone from saying it feels like the team's riding a rollercoaster to watching the same videotape on endless repeat. And while Corbin continues to point out Utah needs to learn how to win close contests, four of the Jazz's five starters are experienced veterans who long ago should've figured out how to finish what they begin.
In contrast, all five of Sacramento's starters have four years or less of experience - Thomas is a rookie, Cousins is in his second year - and the youngsters carried the Kings when the minutes counted most.
"We've got to understand, when we get a team on the ropes, man, especially on the road, you can't afford to let 'em hang around," Corbin said. "You've got to push it up to that six points, to 12 points, 15 points, and then you've got to control it from there. And we could never get that separation. They stayed close and they made the plays down the stretch."
Former Brigham Young University guard Jimmer Fredette scored just five points in eight minutes for the Kings, who played their first home game since agreeing Monday to a tentative deal with the NBA to remain in Sacramento and build a new arena for the 2015-16 season.
"I came into the arena [Tuesday] and so many people - not just our players, but people here working - were all just excited," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "This is huge for our team and our city and the franchise to do what they're doing with this basketball team."
Notes • Jazz forward Paul Millsap (bruised left heel) left the game with 2 minutes, 19 seconds left in the fourth quarter and didn't return. He'll be re-evaluated Wednesday for Utah's home game against the Rockets. … The Jazz are open to making a move before the March 15 trade deadline to improve the team, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned, but a deal isn't imminent. Utah doesn't feel pressure to immediately move starting big men Jefferson and Millsap to make room for youngsters Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter, and the Jazz are still evaluating a team that has nine contests remaining before the deadline. But Utah remains open to moving Harris, league sources said, while reserve small forward C.J. Miles could be made available in the right situation. … Jazz guard Raja Bell missed his third consecutive game due to a strained left adductor. Josh Howard started in his place. Corbin said he'll consider keeping Howard in the starting lineup after Bell returns and moving Gordon Hayward to the bench, but nothing has officially been decided. … Kings owners Gavin and Joe Maloof addressed fans midway through the first quarter, and were joined by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson during the second period. "There's going to be a beacon of light shining bright in 2015," Gavin said. Johnson added: "We did it. ... We're going to see basketball here for many years."

On 10 April the first
turbine on DanTysk Offshore Wind Farm was installed from the Pacific Osprey.
The DanTysk OWF will in the end consist of 80 Siemens 3.6MW wind turbines
giving a total output of 288 MW.
Pacific Osprey is able to
transport up to 11 WTG for each installation trip and can transit fully loaded
in up to 3m significant wave height. With its 1200mt crane and high capacity
jacking system designed for offshore wind farms the Pacific Osprey is expected
to have a turn-around time throughout the summer of 2-3 weeks for a full
installation trip. The first turbine was installed in only 16 hrs.
Swire Blue Ocean assists AF Decom Offshore with decommissioning the H7 platform for Statoil and Gassco.
The H7 compressor installation in the German sector of the North sea has been removed as planned and without serious incidents.
This platform stood on Norpipe and came on line in 1977. Its compressors were used to maintain pressure in the pipeline, which carries gas from Norway's Ekofisk area to the Norsea Gas Terminal at Emden in Germany.
The compressors were shut down in 1999, but the installation remained operational until 2007. It was then disconnected from Norpipe and shut down, with all personnel removed.
Statoil has been responsible for the removal project on behalf of H7 operator Gassco, while AF Decom Offshore AS has served as the removal and disposal contractor.
Key sub-contractors are Swire Blue Ocean, which provided the jack-up vessels used for the removal, and Deep Ocean as the company responsible for the project's subsea operations.
Gassco project manager Alf Kristian Haugaland is satisfied with the way the work was done, and says that everyone involved is worthy of praise.

Uncommon Apples
Api Étoile
Like little stars.
Topics: Design, Imprint, Life News
When, oh, when will someone invite me to Dubai? I've read about it, watched reports and talked to plenty of people who have spent time there. It's a long flight from New York and unless someone was to send me, I'm not sure I'd ever choose just to go. Perhaps if I had a layover on my way to Australia I'd carve out a day or two, because the emirate fascinates me. My yearning to be the beneficiary of such a generous invitation has been renewed of late by Brusselssprout, a Dubai-based arts organization.
Even for someone who spends his days poring over books of all sorts, from time to time one lands on my desk and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Such was the case with Brusselssprout's first book, "Dubai Graphic Encyclopedia." The title is straightforward enough, as is the content – scores of alphabetically arranged monochromatic images commonly associated with Dubai. But with hardly any descriptive text and the simplicity of the illustrations, what is one to make of this book?
Seeing in Dubai the 18th century English aesthetic ideals of the beautiful, sublime and picturesque, the people behind Brusselssprout first started out with magazines (free to download here) that graphically reinvent the city of Dubai, citing the likes of Andy Warhol and Rem Koolhaas. In issue one, they dubbed Dubai "as the first genuine work of art in the 21st century" – hyperbolic to be sure. The past 12 years have indeed yielded beastly development there, though the real changes started in the late 1960s with the discovery of oil and the eventual forming of the United Arab Emirates in 1971. But there is no doubt that recent building projects in Dubai, beholden to global economic booms and busts, have, from an outsider's point of view, morphed it into a locale that makes Las Vegas seem quaint.
Leafing through this catalog of Dubai's visual touchstones and tropes – from aircraft to camel, henna to skyline – becomes an exercise in pattern recognition, which is equal parts brusque and appropriate. Yes, there are the remnants of the region's distant history seen in minarets and gutrah (traditional cotton head wraps worn by men) but the buildings, cars, traffic signs and Western logos of today's Dubai dominate this visual landscape. This dominance of the contemporary does not diminish the past, it simply equalizes everything, which is disturbingly reassuring, and ultimately very telling.
In the April 2008 issue of Print, I reviewed "With/Without," a book published by the incomparable magazine Bidoun. This anthology dedicated to Dubai focused on how the emirate functions by virtue of a complicity that makes it impossible for the past and present to fuse, resulting in free zones where anything goes, regardless of religion, nationality, sexual preference or personal taste. Like that volume, the "Dubai Graphic Encyclopedia" provokes thought, though in this case with far less direction, which is the point, I think. What do I know? I've never been there. Someone invite me!
I'll give Brusselssprout the final word on the book's aim: "What the first edition Dubai graphic and visual encyclopedia presents is a reality that acts as a counterpoint to all the excess of attempts to decipher and understand Dubai."

The debate has been going on for as long as cheerleaders have been competing in nationwide competitions. Even with cheerleading evolving to the point where the cheerleaders experience injuries similar to that of the athletes, the debate still continues and the jury is still out. Is cheerleading a sport?
If you ask the cheerleading team at Cater High School in Rialto, the answer is an
emphatic YES. Cheerleading is a sport, without question, but several others have a different opinion when asked the same question. However, if you look up the definition of the word Sport in the dictionary, it describes exactly what cheerleaders do, even more than a football player or any other type of athlete; except for maybe golf.
Most people on the other side of the argument refer to cheerleading as an activity or a recreational event, because people who play sports are athletes and people who cheer are cheerleaders. That makes for a very good point, until you look up the text definition of the word athlete and athletics, and once again it makes the cheerleaders' argument a lot more credible.
The Carter cheerleading team is made up of two squads, the Varsity team and junior varsity team, similar to many of the sports on campus that have varsity and junior varsity teams as well. The varsity team consists of 17 members, both male and female, who regularly cheer at most of the athletic events both home and away, and they regularly compete in cheer competitions as well. The 13-member junior varsity team just about keeps the same rigorous schedule.
The only difference between sports teams and cheerleading teams at Carter High School is that the cheerleaders participate in their events with no help or financial support from the school, while most the other sports programs receive some type of funding or support.
"I don't see how people can say cheerleading is not a sport. We do the same thing the other sports do; we compete, we practice, we train, we condition. Since we do all the things the other sports do we should get the same benefits," said senior Breanna Tillman, the varsity cheer captain at Carter High.
In addition to cheering for the other sports teams on campus these young ladies go much further. They spread cheer throughout the community and attempt to give hope to the hopeless, as well as mentor youth in the community. Some of the community activities the young ladies take part in include volunteering with the Candlelight Cancer Foundation, spending time reading to young cancer patients, participating in cancer and leukemia walks, helping to bring more awareness to breast cancer during National Breast Cancer Month. They hold a study hall on campus as well as mentor and tutor youth. They recently walked in the Rialto Christmas Parade, and during the holidays they go Christmas Caroling at Loma Linda University Medical Center. They do all these community activities while representing the school, cheer at the other sports events, maintain a 2.5 grade point average or better and win cheer competitions, but get no support financially or otherwise from the school. That alone should say a lot about their love and dedication to being a cheerleader.
Carter's varsity cheer co-captain, Morgan Scholtz, is extremely proud of the hard work and dedication the young ladies put in to being cheerleaders. In fact out of all the sports programs on campus cheerleading tends to be one of the most successful.
"We work hard to get ready for the season. We have to be well conditioned and have good physical strength to do the stunts and routines we do. You have to be strong to be the base of the pyramid. We put in just as much time in our sport as other athletes do in theirs, if not more," said Scholtz.
Some of the success the Carter cheer team can boast of is placing first and second at JAMZ Coaster Classic competition in 2010 and being invited to compete in the JAMZ national competition in Las Vegas in February 2011. They have also won some competitions in the past; however, the young ladies can't admire their accomplishments because the award-winning trophies are not on display at the school.
"We are all proud of these young ladies. They put their all into the cheer program to make it a success. If we were able to get support from the school they could do even more positive things in the community and on campus," said the Booster Club board members. "The Cheerleading Booster Club and parents play a big role in helping to organize fundraisers and travel arrangements for the competitions and other events," added Charlene Cannon, Booster Club President.
All of the financial burden of entering competitions, travel to competitions as well as room and board falls on the cheerleading team, Booster Club and parents. However, through hard work and dedication they find a way to get it done. The cheerleaders also have to buy their own uniforms and fund their basic events, which is over $1,000 for varsity and over $800 for the junior varsity program.
When you hear the passion and excitement in the cheerleaders' voices when they talk about their competing and being a part of the team, their enthusiasm is no different than a basketball or football player. They get the same rewarding feeling and a greater sense of self-confidence. Regardless of how the administration feels towards cheerleaders and competitions, this is a very rewarding experience for the young ladies.
"Being a part of the cheerleading team has taught me a lot and helped me in a number of ways. Because we do this without support from the school it has taught me to persevere and stand on my own, it has helped me interact with different people, and as captain it has helped me become more assertive and outspoken," said Tillman. If you ask any athlete how participating in a sports program has helped him, he'll probably give a similar answer.
Just like football, basketball, baseball programs or any other sports program that often have youth camps to teach younger kids the basic fundamentals of the sports so they can be better prepared when they begin to compete, the cheerleaders hold similar youth camps. The cheerleaders at Carter host a mini Cub Camp for area elementary school age children, and they teach them the basic fundamentals of cheering, so they too can be prepared when they begin to compete.
"How could golf be considered a sport and not cheerleading when cheering requires more conditioning and involves more physical activity? If you take the ball and club away from golf, all you have is walking, so if that's a sport cheerleading should be a sport too," said Tillman.
No matter which side of the debate you are on, you have to agree these young ladies deserve credit and support for all their hard work and dedication they show towards cheerleading, the community and the other sports they cheer for, win or lose.

Polar-grizzly bear hybrid found in Canada

Sooo… GTA. Possibly one of the most famous series of crime simulators in gaming history… and I am a massive fan. I have all the games on PC, PSP, GBA, DS and PS3. I am only 19 years old, but I have grown up with these games. They were my childhood, and I couldn't be more happy. Never really was one for the story, but for the freedom that came with the games. Out of all the games, I will admit that Chinatown Wars is my favourite. If its one thing that game taught me, is that if I ever want to get into any type of trade, drug dealing is the one. Its a strange thing to like in a game, but it really added an aspect the game that was very different, but worked so well. GTA V is not looking like a disappointment either. I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time. The new "3 trailers in one" preview has given an insight into the 3 main characters, and I can tell that Micheal is probably going to be my favourite. Probably like a lot of people, I can't wait until the 17th of September.

The only equipment you need to walk is a good pair of walking shoes, but you do need something else for something called Nordic Walking. It's a little like cross country skiing, without the skis.
Trainer, Caroline Bloomquist says, "Nordic walking is walking with poles that were designed to help the cross country team work out in the off season. The poles add the upper body into what would normally be a lower body activity, so we're using muscles of the upper body which helps increase the heart rate, which expends more calories."
"I do aerobics, I do spinning, but I have a lot of arthritis, I can't do any of the step or things that are jumping. And this is truly walking," says Nordic Walker, Carolyn Goldman
Instructor Caroline Bloomquist says adding the poles while walking engages more muscle groups, and that increases your heart rate.
If you want to try Nordic Walking, Robert Sherman's Fit Studio in Bethesda has three classes a week, weather permitting.
You can do it on your own, but don't grab your ski poles out of the closet. Poles for walking have rubber tips to grip the ground. Caroline says, "The poles help with coordination and balance, so once you get the coordination of the natural swing and use the poles as an extension of your arms, anyone can do it."

For instance, we broke it down as Chilled Hors D'ouevres, Hot Hors D'ouevres, Entree and Dessert. You can play around with the titles until you get it to reflect the meal you are serving. Wish I'd ordered more!"
"These menus look very sophisticated and classic. The print and paper quality is excellent. We are very,very happy with this product!"

Avalanche buries, closes part of Alaska highway
Valdez, AK, United States (4E) – A portion of an Alaska highway buried by avalanches on Friday and Saturday will be closed for at least a week, according to officials of the Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT).
The portion between Richardson Highway's Mile 12, out of Valdez, and Mile 64, north of Thompson Pass remained closed on Monday, a DOT statement said.
The mix of large and small avalanches–natural and blast-triggered—also crossed the Lowe River at Keystone Canyon forming a dam and flooding the valley upstream. About 100 residents of Alpine Woods subdivision were asked to voluntary evacuate, said Sheri Pierce, public information officer for city of Valdez.
The DOT said the dammed water is receding, but remains dangerous for crews to begin clearing the road section buried under 30 feet of snow. The largest avalanche, which was 60 to 70 feet high and between 900 to 1,500 feet long, buried an area along the 368-mile-long road, according to DOT spokesman Jeremy Woodrow.
No one was hurt in the avalanches. A fuel truck en route from Valdez to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson outside of Anchorage was trapped between two avalanches for about 90 minutes on Friday until he was rescued by a DOT crew.
With the only road into Valdez closed, barges are being used to deliver food to stranded residents of the port city with a population of about 4,000.
"The airport and port facilities remain fully functional. The City of Valdez has confirmed that there is plenty of gasoline and heating fuel oil in town to serve local needs during an extended road closure," Holly Wolgamott, deputy city clerk in Valdez, said on Monday, according to Adn.com.

Photos: Fujitsu pitches Windows 8 hybrid tablet at the enterprise
Summary: Fujitsu's 'split personality' Q702 Windows 8-based tablet will be aimed directly at business users. But has it got the chops to go up against the raft of other Windows 8 devices?
3 of 5Image
Alone, the tablet weighs around 850g, making it on the heavy side for the class.
Combined with its keyboard dock, it weighs 1.7kg, making it only a little lighter than many traditional 15-inch laptops, and heavier than most ultrabooks.
The tablet's internals can be specified by the buyer, and can include an Intel i3 or i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and solid state drives (SSDs) up to 256GB.
It also comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, and provides the option for adding in a 3G or 4G mobile data module.
The Q702 comes running Windows 8 as standard, but Fujitsu is providing the option to downgrade it to Windows 7.
Image: Ben Woods
While Fujitu is targeting BYOD users with the enterprise-centric Q702, the company still expects to sell the majority of units through the traditional IT buying cycle rather than to consumers directly.
"Businesses are now properly reviewing their estate, and thinking more proactively about where the tablet form factor can deliver the productivity gains," Shaw told ZDNet.
"Some of the hype and buzz around tablets is just starting to subside a little bit and business are starting to realise that tablets can [provide] real productivity gains for the right users."
Given its enterprise roots, it's little surprise the Q702 offers some handy features omitted on other tablets, such as a USB 3.0 port, HDMI-out and microSD expansion.
Image: Ben Woods
Placing the tablet in the dock adds more connectivity options that include additional USB (2.0) ports, an RJ45 (ethernet) port, and a VGA output.
When docked, Fujitsu claims the battery life of the device is around 10 hours. As a tablet on its own, that drops to around 4.5 hours.
The battery on the base of the dock can be replaced by the user.

According to importer Terry Theise: "After the elegant doughy 09, this has the most adamantly delineated fruit of any vintage yet and also the most adamant dryness. The usual quetsch and red currant appear, but with an obdurate length and a surmise of nettles and cress. A litmus test: if you like this, you like dry Riesling. (Bear in mind the sample I tasted was 10-days in bottle and probably didnt show all its vinosity.)"

Peter Molyneux's first experimental title with 22 Cans is Curiosity, a potentially million-player title that has people chip away at a cube until one person hits the final piece and uncovers the ultimate secret inside. Peter Molydeux, a digital parody of Molyneux, has created a trailer for Curiosity using a few exaggerated quotes (and some not so hyperbolic).
"It will make the God Particle seem smaller than an atom," Molydeux (correctly) states. Molyneux has described Curiosity as something that "is so valuable, and so life-changingly important."
Molydeux's trailer posits that this discovery is "about to change life as we know it" and "it will be covered in the media for all eternity," while Molyneux has previously said "It's so amazing I think it will appear on news reports."
In response to Molydeux's trailer, Molyneux has offered a few hints as to Curiosity's secret, tweeting that he thinks the parody "is truly amazing. It's not a message, it's not an advert, it's not a job. I am loath to give more clues."
Curiosity will support microtransactions, with items ranging from $0.50 to $50,000. The game launches on August 22 for iOS, Android and PC.

Φ Do you remember what you were doing when the light bulb went off in your head that said,"I want to be a writer".
I didn't have that "light bulb moment", it was more of a looking down a long dark tunnel and seeing a light, you know the light is very far away but, you know you must walk towards it to get out that dark tunnel. As I was walking towards the light I was constantly thinking what am I going to do once I reach the light. I had many ideas and somehow writing was a natural fit for me, cause I was able to articulate what the experience and journey was like walking down the tunnel to the light.
How do you dissuade those negative voices that other people put in your head and keep it moving?
As I decided to make some real and significant changes in my life I decided I wasn't gonna let negative things people think or said about me, have an effect on how I was going to live my life, how I pursued my dreams and how I thought about myself. I was tired of trying to be what other people seen me to be so negative stuff didn't mean nothing.
When did you get your first big break; the one that led to the most notoriety?
I guess I started to gain notoriety when I appeared on Comedy Central's Colbert Report. I was a guest on the show and did an interview about my book, Changin' Your Game Plan: How to use incarceration as a stepping stone for success. I have been on the Wendy Williams Experience, in The New York Times, The New York Daily News (Twice) and numerous other media venues. But I still have to grind. I think we're all looking for that big break, but we have to be prepared to put the hard work in to make our own big break.
Writing requires a lot of discipline, how are you able to find time and the mental fortitude to sit down and write a complete book? And have you ever had writers block and what's the cure?
To be honest with you, I'm working on two books right now at the same time. Of course when I was in prison I had all the time in the world to write, so it wasn't a matter of discipline. Now that I'm out, it's been very hard to write cause I have so much going on. I tell people to write three pages a day and after a hundred days you have your book complete. But I need to follow my own advice. I wear many hats and as an independent author I have to write, publish, market, promote and sell the books and that leaves time for not much else. I never really have had writer's block, cause I write non-fiction I don't have to create characters and scenes and so forth. I write with the passion to convey a message and/or information which can have an impact on someone or groups of people.
When you first got out of prison what was the biggest adjustment for you; did you feel like you were out of style or that technology had changed? And what was it that you found the most awkward in your readjustment back into civilian life?
I didn't have a big cultural shock when I got out of prison. I had pretty much stayed abreast of all the advances that were taking places while I was gone. I read a lot and though I never been on a computer, I knew how they worked and all I needed to do was get in front of one and I knew I would catch on fast and I did. Learning to use a cell phone was a lil' challenging at first. I didn't worry about being in style; I was worried about building a life so style was the last thing I was worried about. When you're a real man, doing real things you will always be in style.
Tell us a about your most recent work?
I'm working on a book and documentary titled, From Prison to Prosperity: The Randy Kearse Story. Can you give me a brief description of what it's about? It's the autobiography of my life, before during and after the trials and tribulations.
What is the point of in-sighting interest in your book; the most compelling, the part that you read and it just hooks you?
That, I'm not your stereotypical black man; come from a broken home, dysfunctional family, fatherless, household story of a young black male who got caught up in the streets that I'm not; a product of my environment. I'm a product of my choices.
How did you survive in prison?
I focused on the future. While some guys were glorifying who they used to be, I was striving to become. To rise above the circumstances and walk away a new person. I stayed to myself and stayed out of frivolous prison nonsense.
What resonates the most in your mind when you think about prison?And how do you use that emotional recall to help guide you through the rough patches in life?
How people are wasting valuable time. How the street and prison mentality is so poisonous. I use that emotional recall by remembering that time is our most precious commodity, something we are given as a birthright, but we are only given a certain amount of time, and if we squander our time, we'll look at the time we had and realize we have nothing to show for it.
In closing; for those brothas and sistas out there headed on that one way path to destruction what's the one prison story you could tell them that would make them just abruptly change course?
One day a guy called home and his girlfriend told him that she was leaving him, he yelled at her, he screamed at her, he threatened her, he cried to her, but when it was all said and done, she left him. He went to his cell and hung himself later that night. Prison is not a joke, people die in prison, prison is not this glorious cultural place that makes you a man or woman, it's a place of pain misery and suffering.

Gunungan » The Gunungan has three sides. The good (positive) side, the evil (negative) side, the shadow sid. The over-all shape of the mountain (the Gunungan), reveals at the base a number of steps leading up to two temple doors. On either side of the doors stand two Raksasas, giant gate keepers, who guard our spiritual temple. At the beginning of the performance, when the music begins to play, the dalang symbolically opens the temple doors. And invites his audience to enter the magical world of Wayang where our perceptions will change.

gamelan javanese
The gendhing (also written, as in the old orthography, gending) is a class of gendhing structures used in Javanese gamelan music. Gendhing can also be used to refer to gamelan compositions in general.
Gendhing is the longest and most complicated of the gendhing structures. It is typically played in a slow irama, although it may have faster sections. Gendhing are sometimes classified by which elaborating instrument is most prominent, called gendhing bonang or gendhing rebab. Gendhing never use the kempul or gong suwukan. source : courtessy from Wikipedia
