Skinny Raven Half Marathon
Sunday, August 17, 2014 -- 9:30 AM
Course Overview
The half marathon is the most popular of the Big Wild Life Runs. In 2013, 1,243 registered and 1,012 crossed the finish line.
The 13.1 mile course begins in the heart of downtown Anchorage. Runners wind through downtown streets and then head out onto the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail at 2nd Avenue. The course veers east at Westchester Lagoon and continues on the Chester Creek Trail to Goose Lake where runners will loop back toward Westchester Lagoon and downtown Anchorage. The course is USATF certified.
***Marathon and Half Marathon Course Detour
The bridge is out, but we're still running!
Due to the Westchester bridge collapse earlier this summer, the BWLR racecourse has been diverted to avoid the void in the trail. Racers will make a sharp left turn just before the downed bridge as they exit the tunnel and make their way through the Westchester neighborhood across 13th Avenue and down U Street. Runners will rejoin the trail at Westchester Lagoon with Marathoners and 49k runners taking a right and half marathoners heading left to the Chester Creek Greenbelt. The Marathon course is certified and will remain a Boston Marathon qualifier.
Field Limit
The half marathon field is limited to the first 1500 entrants.
The half marathon starts and finishes at the intersection of 6th Avenue and F Street adjacent to Town Square Park in downtown Anchorage. In the past start time has been 9:30 AM.
Time Cutoff
Half-marathoners must finish by 3:30 PM in order to receive an official time. If runners are not finished by the cut-off time they may finish the run on their own without the benefit of aid stations or finish line support.
Registration Goodies
- Long-sleeved technical shirt
- Finisher's medal
- Professional timing
- Food and beverage at the finish line
Awards are given to the top three over-all male and female finishers as well as the top three male and female finishers in each 5-year age group. Awards will be distributed in Town Square Park. All awards are based on gun times -- the time elapsed from the sound of the start gun to when a runner crosses the timing mat at the finish line.
Aid Stations
All aid stations will have water and Gatorade®. The event does not provide food at any of the aid stations; this is a "BYOGu" event, so be sure to pack some with you if needed. Aid stations are located approximately every 2 miles. For exact locations, please see the half marathon course map.
Medical Support
Two medical tents will be available to runners, one at the start/finish and one at Westchester Lagoon. Medical personnel will patrol the entire course and provide medical support as well as transportation for injured runners.
Race Tip: Write your full name, age and emergency contact person and phone number on the back of your bib. This is vital information for medical personnel if you should become disoriented or incapacitated. It's also a good idea to include any drug allergies or relevant medical conditions.
Beer Garden
Broken Tooth Brewing will provide a beer garden in Town Square Park exclusively for runners 21 and over. Those planning to partake in this well-deserved post-race treat must have a valid ID card on their person as well as their race bib. No one, no matter how old you are, will be admitted to the beer garden without proper ID.
Post Race Showers
The Hotel Captain Cook has invited runners to shower at the athletic club after the race. The club is located on the lower level of the Hotel, just show your bib at the desk. 939 W. 5th Avenue.

The month of October is nearly the end of the year, and it turns out we are way below where we were in the beginning. We have the second worst performance, year to date, since 2001 – the worst being the worldwide crash of 2008.
In fact, in the last six years, since 2005, this is only the second NEGATIVE year-to-date return for the Nifty.

Bold As Love
Vocals: Page
Original Artist: Jimi Hendrix Experience
Original Album: Axis: Bold As Love (1967)
Albums: Hampton Comes Alive, Live Phish 01, Live Phish 09, Hampton/Winston-Salem '97
Debut: 1988-07-07
Historian: Craig DeLucia
Jimi Hendrix is revered by most fans of rock-and-roll, and is seen by some as the most talented musician to ever take hold of an electric guitar.
Trey has noted his affinity for Jimi on many occasions, going so far as to pay tribute to him almost every time Phish has played on his birthday, November 27. On 11/27/92, Trey referred to Jimi as the greatest electric guitarist ever. And to close that show, Phish played its version of Hendrix's classic "Bold As Love," one of four Hendrix covers that Phish has played over the years (see "Voodoo Chile," "Fire" and "Izabella").
Phish has always chosen to play "Bold as Love" as a straight cover, without altering the song's feel from the original. The song's raw energy, especially in the swirling closing jam segment, seems to make it a fantastic (albeit somewhat rare) choice as a set-closer or encore. In fact, since 1992, it has only been played elsewhere a handful of times. References to various colors in the lyrics give the light crew a great opportunity to augment live performances with a wonderful visual spectacle, especially when the band reaches the "rainbow" line.
Despite being one of Phish's oldest and truest covers, the band seems to reserve the song from heavy rotation to avoid spoiling it. After two years of regular play from July 1988 to April 1990, followed by two years on the shelf until its reappearance in November 1992, "Bold as Love" was only played a few times each year before disappearing post-hiatus in 2003 and 2004. However, the song returned in full force in 2009 with performances in Asheville and Shoreline.

A United Kingdom recycling expert has finally solved one of the recycling industries biggest mysteries: how can waste toner powder be recycled?
While empty printer and photocopier cartridges can be reused or broken down to recover the metals and plastics, currently all forms of toner powder are land filled or incinerated. This is estimated globally at around 2700 metric tonnes per month.
Angus Carnie of 300 Recycling recently noted that he has had a fantastic response from all over the world for his solution to reuse the toner powder as forensic finger print powder.
Carnie says that the complicated nature of the composition of toner powder really was a challenge "but I had excellent support from manufacturers, and cartridge recyclers, and after many false starts, I discovered waste toner powder would make an excellent core material for forensic finger print powder."
"Ironically, one of the other big issues was what to do with the different colours of toner, but I found that they were ideal for identifying finger prints on dark surfaces such as car dashboards," he says.
With crime globally an ever-increasing issue, this innovation is surely an excellent solution that should be considered by all toner producers and recyclers.
This is wonderful. I am a HUGE advocate for "reuse/recycling" on a daily basis. I too would like more information on this topic if possible. The department I work for is building a new office which will include more eco-friendly materials and practices. If we can better use our old cartridges then we must and will. We are all responsible for the carbon footprint we leave on this Earth.

Thanks for the great comments. Finger print powder is only one of my uses I actually have several but the one the media find most interesting!I have a new website which will be live next week www.300recycling.co.uk
Posted May 7, 2010 05:21 PM
Really? wow. Yeah I'm a Criminal Justice Major working on a BA in Legal Studies and just recently took a forensic lab class in whihc we did fingerprinting. On numerous occassions I commented that fingerprint powder was probably toner. I mean my dad use to work for a copier company so maybe I am a tad more familiar with toner, but I'm suprised this didn't dawn on anyone sooner.

Mooresville, NC (February 5, 2013) – When every second counts … More than 1 million people in the U.S. have heart attacks each year, but many of them don't recognize the signs quickly enough to get the help they need. Not everyone experiences sudden, severe chest pain — other symptoms, such as sweating or lightheadedness, can signal a heart attack.
February is American Heart Month, and Lake Norman Regional Medical Center's Senior Extra program is committed to helping you recognize the signs of a heart attack — being aware of the symptoms can help save your life or the life of someone you know.
Know the signs
In the movies or on TV, a heart attack is obvious: The actor suddenly clasps his or her chest in pain and crumples to the ground. But in reality, the signs and symptoms are different for everyone. Although heart attacks can come on suddenly, most come on slowly with mild pain and discomfort. Warning signs include:
Chest pain or discomfort are the most common signs for both men and women but women are more likely to experience other symptoms such as pain in the jaw or back, shortness of breath, or nausea. The more signs and symptoms you have, the more likely it is that you're having a heart attack.
Act fast
Because the signs can seem mild, people often wait too long to seek help. If you suspect you're having a heart attack (even if you're not sure):
Familiarize yourself with heart attack symptoms and put an emergency plan in place to ensure that if a heart attack strikes, you'll get the immediate care you need.
About Senior Extra
Ever-changing advancements in health care allow us to live longer and improve our overall health. Providing the latest information about health advancements through monthly seminars and events is just one facet of Senior Extra. To sign up for a free membership, visit www.SeniorExtra.com.

Georgia State will have home and away conference games in men's basketball for the next three seasons against Delaware, Wilmington, Northeastern, Virginia Commonwealth and William and Mary in the new basketball schedule format announced by the Colonial Athletic Association on Tuesday.
The partners in women's basketball are Hofstra, UNCW, Northeastern, Old Dominion and VCU.
The format includes 18 conference games and is similar to the recently completed six-year schedule that was adopted before the 2005-06 season. Each team was assigned five permanent partners that they play home and away during each season. The remaining six conference games include two opponents at home, two opponents away and two opponents home and away.
The schedule, with dates, will be released in early September.
Each school submitted a list of five preferred permanent partners in rank order to the conference, with only the top choice guaranteed. Each school received a minimum of three of its five preferred permanent partner choices in the final schedule, according to the conference. Georgia State's top choice was Wilmington, because of geographic proximity.
The home-and-away opponents for the 2011-12 men's season are Drexel and James Madison.
The Panthers will play Old Dominion and Towson at home, and George Mason and Hofstra on the road.

Thanks Doug! I would certainly like to know if there was any discussion at all about possibly going to a divisional format. I get the impression that this is a no-go because the VA teams don't want to be split, but now that we've been in the league for 5 years, I was wondering if the mood has changed at all?

@itsmeagain…I should have clarified….I meant traditional North-South divisions.
Definitely, would not want us to be in the North division of anything in the CAA. And if that were the case, then I would rather the CAA use this system that a system in which the GSU is in the North division.

Venita S.Grain Valley Branch
Need something to do on a cold winter's day? Want to learn something new? Just want to have fun?
Did you know that your local branches have fun, educational programs? Here are just a few in our area that are coming up soon:
The 2012 drought brought dry, hot summer weather and not much relief through the fall. Our grass turned brown, our water bill went up, and our young trees died, but the drought affected much more than just our lawns.
If you've read a few of my blogs, you may have noticed that I can be a little frugal. Over the past few years, I've come to appreciate thrift stores, ferreting out the best happy hours in town, and discovering the joys of upcycling on Pinterest. Well, there is an upcoming program at the Riverside Branch that's right up my alley.
One day last week, my mother got a surprise in the mail. She received a large envelope of pictures from one of her cousins who lives in Springfield that we had not heard from in years.
Many of these pictures once belonged to my great-grandmother and featured my grandparents, my mother, and her sister as children. My mother loved going through all the pictures – so many memories. But most of all, she was thrilled to hear from her cousin. Sharing family photos and stories is a great way to reconnect with family that you don't see often.
Are you selling your house this spring? Do you know what it takes to prepare your home for sale?
Believe it or not, MCPL is a great place to go for information about the Kansas City metro area. If you are interested in becoming acquainted with some of our local venues, we have several ways to provide access to the communities you are curious about.
Spring has sprung! Have you been enjoying the outdoors? Have you been working in your garden, planting and pruning? Does it need a little something special? How about a water feature?
It's that time again...Family Reunion Time! Clueless on how to get everyone and everything together? Come on out to the North Independence Branch on Tuesday, May 28th for the program How to Organize your Family Reunion.
Our presenter has 25 years of organizing experience, with lots of ideas on themes, mailings, and how to get help from others to put your reunion together.Make this year's reunion the one they'll be talking about for years!

good day pack
March 12, 2011
backpack has a lot of good features for a day of skiing/boarding as well as general use. Goggle pocket is nice. Great size for women. Can fit the necessities but isn't overly bulky.
Excellent backpack
August 17, 2012
I love Dakine packs. I decided to get this backpack after I a] hiked post-ski season to the top of my local ski area with my skis bungee-corded to my old school backpack a few years ago (that was an interesting experience) and b] borrowed my friend's similar pack skiing a few times and loved it. I like how it's small enough to fit my small frame (I'm 5'2, 110 lbs) but still large enough to hold stuff (food, extra clothes, etc. or a few books/binder/etc. stuff for school). I also like that it is water bladder compatible. Goggle pocket is handy too. Overall very satisfied. Plus you can't beat getting it for almost 40% off.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value
July 01, 2011
It is very good product with build quality, great design and performance. It is compact, but still large. Many possibilities for use, but still easy for use
I need it to do it all from college to skiing
May 27, 2011
My brothers have the guys version of this backpack and it has been so great, I needed one of my own. I would rate the volume it holds as medium. i can get a computer and a large binder inside. The ski holders work great. While your boots probably wouldn't fit inside the back pack, your lunch and other gear would and your hands would be free to carry your boots.
Extremely Happy
February 20, 2011
I purchased this back pack recently because my old Dakine backpack finally gave out on my after many years of use. I am very happy with this purchase and the Heli Pro. It has a pretty good carrying capacity for how small the backpack really is. I love the versatility of it. Within one day, I can be carrying my books and binders around campus and then later out shredding on the slopes. My only complaint about the back pack is the lack of a water bottle holder. But in my opinion, since the pack is designed to be camel back ready, this is a forgivable feature that is easily worked around with all the buckles that you can attach a bottle to.
December 05, 2010
This backpack is adorable. It is also extremely useful for girls who do not like keeping their wallets, keys, etc. in their pockets on the mountain. I love the fact that it's water pack compatible. Only problem is the straps on the clips. Unless there is a way to fix this, the length of the 4 straps is way too long. I like to have my backpack flush against my back while i ride and these straps are all over the place. If anyone knows how to fix this let me know!
Great Snow Pack
May 30, 2011
This is a well-designed pack for snow outings. It's designed to carry skis or a snowboard. Because of this it has a good amount of straps/features that are only for this- using it for other outings might be annoying because the snow features add to the bulk and weight of the pack. I got the black lace print which is really cool looking. The pink accents might be too feminine for some, but I like them. Overall, this is a great pack for snow outings.
Love it...Life Changing
March 20, 2012
I have neck/back problems and I have a hard time carrying my skis (I'm 5ft, 110lbs) because they are HEAVY. This backpack has changed my life. I can strap my skis to the backpack and the weight is very manageable. I wish I would have bought this backpack sooner. Genius!Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Great value

Here is a quick list of some of my favorite restaurants in Buenos Aires for less than
30 40 pesos per person (about $10):
Cumaná – Northern Argentine Cuisine (Rodriguez Peña 1149, Recoleta)
There is always a long wait, the tables are ridiculously close together, and you can barely read the menu the place is so dark, but it is consistently good and the prices have gone up only a few pesos in the past couple of years while many other restaurants have increased prices by 50%.
What to order? Cumaná has pretty standard Argentine food like pizza and empanadas, but they also have northern Argentine cuisine like locro (beafy goodness stew), lentejas (lentils) and cazuelas (umm don't know translation, google it). Personally, I can never go wrong with a couple of empanadas and the cazuela vegetales rusticos.
Sarkis – Armenian Food / Middle Eastern Food (Thames 1101, Villa Crespo)
This Middle Eastern/Armenian restaurant has the best ranking on Guiaoleo.com, an online guide to Buenos Aires restaurants, because it is damn tasty. The idea is to order a lot of little tapas style plates (full or half orders), and go with a big group of people to try an assortment of goodness. Or, as I tend to do, go with a small group and order a varied spread.
What to order? I always have to order hojas de parras rellenas (stuffed grape leaves), ensalada belén (roasted eggplant, red peppers, white grapes, and almonds or cashews yum), morrones asados (roasted red peppers), puré de berenjena (eggplant puré). Most of these plates cost around AR$12-18 pesos. If you want something meaty, the beefy shlong with yogurt sauce served over a crisp greasy piece of pita is always a table favorite. I think I want to go tonight.
Chan Chan – Peruvian Food (Hipolito Yrigoyen 1390, Congreso)
Chan Chan brings Peruvian flavors to BA with excellent meals that are quite affordable. The restaurant's decorations are random – murals of meadows and fields with rabbits hopping around (funny enough, conejo, rabbit, is on the menu), and of course it wouldn't be complete without a Virgin Mary statue.
What to order? Every table gets a basket of bread and canchita (Peruvian corn snack) with two sauces – one with a spicy kick. Ceviche is always extremely fresh – no fishy taste here, and huge portions are enough for two people to share. My favorite is the grilled fish, it comes with white rice and a boiled potato – simple and delicious.
Oui Oui – French Inspired Café / Brunch (Nicaragua 6068, Palermo Hollywood)
This small café has become quite trendy which is a turn off, but they do offer delicious brunch options, reasonable prices, and it's a great ambiance.
What to order? Something off the daily special menu! Order a special breakfast combo like the Tony (eggs Benedict) or the Gallo (yogurt, fruit, granola).
Los Sabios – Vegetarian All-You-Can-Eat Buffet / Tenedor Libre (Corrientes 3733, Almagro)
Anyone who studied abroad with me can attest to Los Sabios being my obsession during the 9 months I lasted as a vegetarian in BA. In this tenedor libre (all you can eat buffet), owned by a Taiwanese family, I would pile my plate with vegetarian macrobiatic food, with the occasional asian dishes fried rice/noodles/egg rolls and the healthy Argie staples empanada/french fries/pizza thrown in the mix. Right next to my first apartment, I would fill a to-go container for 7 pesos or dine in for the AYCE (yes, I just made an acronym for all you can eat) for 13 pesos. The prices have gone up about 50%, but still a good deal at about AR$35 pesos.
What to order? Usually they have around 30 or more options plus desserts but this changes daily – don't go to late or a lot of good things will be gone – and if you are a serious eater and want to try new things, get a seat facing the kitchen so you can see when they come out with trays of new food. My favorites dishes are the seitan, garbonzo and pepper salad, potato croquettes, and this tofu bean sprout thing. I also make sure to take full advantage of the salad bar with bean salads, broccoli, beets and other green goodnesses.
**NOTE: This was written in 2009 and updated again in 2011, but I'm sure when you are reading this, the prices will have increased again in this ever inflating economy we live in.

The van needed sweeping out, but it was not a problem. It just would have been nicer if it were swept.

'WWE Vintage Collection' TV Report #148 – April 3rd, 2011
Shown on Sky Sports in the U.K.
By Stephen Lyon.
This week: The final show in a series of 'Hall of Fame-themed' episodes. Matches featured this week were Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Ravishing Rick Rude (September 1989) and Shawn Michaels vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley (May 1996).
Plus Hall of Fame induction speeches and videos for Classy Freddie Blassie (June 1994) and Rowdy Roddy Piper (April 2005).
The Show:
A Hall of Fame induction video for Classy Freddie Blassie aired. Photographs of him wrestling in his prime aired, interspersed with Blassie commenting on his career.
This video was followed by Regis Philbin's speech inducting Blassie, during the induction ceremony held on June 18th, 1994 at the Omni Inner Harbor International Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland, the night before the '1994 King of the Ring' pay-per-view event. Philbin put over Blassie, saying he was a long-time good friend of his, and was the first and greatest wrestler guest that he ever had on his chat shows. Blassie's speech aired, with him detailing how his first ever wrestling match pay-off was $1, which didn't ever cover the cost of purchasing his wrestling license ($5), let alone travelling expenses. Blassie talked about nightmare car trips, travelling with both Vince McMahon (Jr), and on another occasion, Captain Lou Albano.
Next, a clip aired from the June 26th, 1984 edition of 'WWF Tuesday Night Titans', where in a Piper's Pit, Piper famously smashed a coconut over the head of Superfly Jimmy Snuka.
A Hall of Fame induction video for Rowdy Roddy Piper aired, followed by an edited version of his induction speech, from the induction ceremony held on April 2nd, 2005 at the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, California, the night before Wrestlemania 21.
1) Rowdy Roddy Piper went to a double count out with Ravishing Rick Rude (w/Bobby Heenan in his corner). This match took place at Madison Square Garden, New York, on September 30th, 1989. Announcers for this match were Tony Schiavone & Hillbilly Jim. Before the match, backstage comments from both participants aired, obtained by Lord Alfred Hayes. This was mainly a brawl between both men. Piper started strongly, but Rude gave him an atomic drop and a bearhug. Rude switched to a reverse chinlock, and had Piper in a backslide for a nearfall. Piper scored a nearfall of his own with a roll-up. Rude managed to nail Piper with a top rope fist drop, but the two then brawled down the aisle (where they were counted out) and back to the ring, where Piper grabbed a ringside chair and nailed Rude with it, as well as laying out referee Danny Davis.
A Hall of Fame induction video for Shawn Michaels aired.
2) WWF Champion, Shawn Michaels (w/Jose Lothario in his corner) defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley. This match aired on the May 13th, 1996 edition of 'WWF Monday Night Raw', taped in Sioux City, Iowa on April 29th, 1996. Announcers for this match Vince McMahon & Jerry Lawler. Michaels flirted with Helmsley's unnamed guest female valet seated at ringside. Michaels dropped Helmsley on his nose and frequently worked it over. Michaels missed a splash into the corner and Helmsley took control. Mr Perfect walked out and watched the match from the aisle, with Vince and Lawler questioning which of the two wrestlers he was scouting. After a commercial break, Helmsley scored a nearfall after a neckbreaker. Helmsley atomic-dropped Michaels, but HBK monkey-flipped Helmsley into the corner, before nailing him with a flying clothesline off the ropes. Michaels hit a top rope elbow drop for another nearfall. Helmsley went for a powerbomb, but Michaels gave Helmsley a Frankensteiner instead. Helmsley went for a pedigree, but Michaels backdropped him, then superkicked him for the pinfall win.
Closing thoughts: Decent show, but I am glad the 'Hall of Fame' theme is now over, and the show can get back to showcasing at least three or four matches each week instead of promo videos and speeches.

Budget cuts are in the works at the University of Vermont.
UVM president Thomas Sullivan says the school needs to reduce the general operating fund by $5 million. Sullivan says it's due to cost increases and a drop in research grants. The president says he and trustees will work with university deans, vice presidents and faculty to figure out where to make those cuts.
Proposals for balancing the budget are due Feb. 15.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

Washington, DC has plenty of fun places to hang out after work with friends or coworkers. Where are your favorite happy hour places? Please include the name of just one restaurant or bar, the location and why you like it. Is it a fun atmosphere, do they offer great specials, what type of crowd does it attract, etc? Share Your Experience
JR's on Sundays
- Always a fun crowd, and it's pretty tough to beat $2 Skyy Vodka doubles and 80's videos! There are two "shifts" - 4:30 - 6:30 or so is less crowded, then 7:00 - 9:00 or later can get really packed crazy! Address: 1519 17th St. NW Washington DC
- —jbflowers
- The Doubletree hotel on Rhode Island Avenue NW has a really good happy hour from 4-7 and it has $5 appetizers, $3 beers and cocktails starting at $4. They have an outside patio too which is great for people watching. I like the ambiance and the decor inside, I think it's been recently updated. Oh and on Thursdays, we bring our dog to their doggie happy hour. He gets free treats and we get good drinks and the chef grills up food right on the terrace.
- —Guest Lisette Bandera
- CAFE CITRON IS ALWAYS FUN... I LOVE THEIR HAPPY HOUR BECAUSE THEY HAVE GREAT DRINK CHOICES UNDER $6.. FROM 4 TO 7 30. THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT SELECTION OF PITCHER COCKTAILS ... my favorite is they give ...FREE..... PINK BOAS AND TIARAS TO BIRTHDAY GIRLS & BACHELORETTES..
- —Guest LOVE TO LIVE
Science Club
- Science Club never fails to please. If the upstairs bar gets crowded, make your way to the downstairs bar. The food is vegetarian and it is excellent (i am not a vegetarian myself either). Go for happy hour, stick around for the music after 9.
- —Guest shoude522
Sabor Cafe
- My favorite place for happy hour is Sabor Cafe on Georgia Avenue, NW Washington, DC. I have gone there with friends and family. It is a beautiful space that offers live jazz music and wonderful food. I have gone at different times and always felt comfortable and welcome. I strongly recommend it.
- —Guest Sandra Nunez
Laughing Man's Tavern
- Fun place to sit back and laugh it up with good friends. They serve a funny dish with watermelon. Address: 1306 G Street, NW, Washington, DC
- —Guest Trish
Science Club
- Science Club is a nice, central (downtown) spot for weekday happy hours. The specials include generous pours of decent wine, and the front patio is an added bonus when the weather cooperates. On chilly or gray days, the narrow, intimate space provides a cozy hangout to unwind in after work! Address: 1136 19 St. NW Washington, DC

Old memories from my uncle's great-grandfather, "Almacenes el Lobo".
Old memories from my uncle's great-grandfather, "Selfportrait".
I've never met my uncle's great-grandfather, but my father has always said good things about him.
I can think what he must've been like through the objects that I found in his huge old home.
Everything in his house tells stories about him.
Objects such as his old cinema projector and films, his photo cameras, newspapers, books…
His old pictures taken with his cameras help me know him better.
Unfortunately some of his old pictures were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War by my grandmother because they contained nudity, so she was scared at that time by the censors , they were hard times and she just wanted to protect her family.
Here are some of his photos that my father saved from oblivion.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Consumers are slightly more satisfied with their credit cards after a new disclosure law came into effect in February, with American Express being the top pick for the fourth year in a row, an annual survey showed.
The J.D. Power and Associates poll released on Thursday showed that satisfaction rebounded from a 3-year low in 2009.
"The Credit Card Act has motivated the issuers for clearer more transparent communication," said Michael Beird, director of banking services at J.D. Power." Consumers are a little more empowered to know a little more at what's going on in with their accounts."
But only a third of cardholders who received disclosures as part of the law said they completely understand their credit card terms, the survey found. Sixteen percent of card customers said they did not receive the disclosures.
The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act, or Credit CARD Act, is intended to protect consumers from credit card companies making unfair rate hikes and charging exorbitant fees. It was passed in May 2009.
J.D. Power's customer satisfaction index rose 9 points to 714 on a 1,000-point scale, up from 705 points last year.
The survey showed that people who keep their balances from month to month -- who are more sensitive to interest rate hikes -- are "significantly more likely to say that CARD Act disclosures improved their understanding of their credit card terms," Beird said.
J.D. Power said its online research, which was conducted in May and June, shows that consumers view their relationship with credit card companies as an "ongoing game of cat and mouse, with each side trying to outsmart the other."
For the fourth year in a row, American Express Co, the largest U.S. credit card company by sales, ranked first in the satisfaction survey, helped by its rewards program, followed by Discover Financial Services. JPMorganChase, the largest issuer of Visa branded credit cards, which had ranked above average last year, fell below the average.

Rita Ora has spoken about getting naked for a magazine shoot, her upcoming role in the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie and saying the big 'L' word to her boyfriend Calvin Harris.
In the latest issue of Elle Magazine in the UK, Rita has appeared on the cover showing a fair amount of side-boob.
"I thought I was really covered up, it's just the bottom nipple," she told the 2DayFM Breakfast Show.
"It's just a tiny bit of the boobage area... it was a bit cold on set I have to say."
On whether or not the singer was nervous about the shoot, Ora says that she felt comfortable doing it.
"I was nervous, but you know, it was all controlled and I think it's just part of somebody's artistic vision and to me the way it's shot and the way it looks is what really matters," she continued.
"There's ways of shooting things without it looking unclassy or tacky."
Ora will also make her acting debut in the upcoming Fifty Shades Of Grey movie as Mia Grey, Christian's sister.
"I've nearly finished (filming)," she said. "I've done it for a few months in Canada, and it finishes literally in about a weeks time, so I'm kinda nearly done my part."
"But it was so much fun... it wasl literally the best thing ever."
Rita Ora is also currently dating Scottish DJ/producer Calvin Harris, and when asked about who was first with admitting their feelings, the 'I Will Never Let You Go' singer remained pretty private.
"I mean I'm not going to tell you the exact moment that it happened because it's between us two, but I can tell you that it was very mutual, it happened at the same moment."

Will same sex marriage damage the family?
Proponents of same sex marriage suggest it is an issue of equality - human rights - an end to discrimination.
Opponents object firstly on religious grounds, that it is unnatural. That it breaks tradition. Racism, sexism are often supported by religious views and tradition. Weak arguments in this case as well.
The argument that perhaps resonates most is that same sex marriage will damage the family unit, damage, children, damage society.
I propose gay marriage has no significant impact on heterosexual families. So this argument also fails.
Agree or disagree?
Closing Statement from Obey No1kinobe
Thanks All. I guess society hasn't collapsed with the introduction of civil unions or gay marriage in some states and countries. In fact there wasn't too much debate about the consequences.
Most objections related to changing the traditional definition of marriage. My understanding is some of these related to marriage having a spiritual or religious dimension. Some just think homosexuality is a defect, unnatural or worse. I expect these views are not limited to religious people.
I agree it is a change to the definition. Those for and against need a stronger argument than their personal or religious views. I respect that marriage is an important institution and should not be changed lightly. However, I still find the argument in terms of civil rights and ending discrimination based on sexual orientation compelling. Considering the arguments against I note none really presented a rationale that this change would be harmful in some tangible way.
I think we have a right to be free from the religious views of others and pursue happiness that does not harm others. I think we should end unjustified discrimination.
There was sense in some of the comments that SSM is going against some natural laws, will impact families or even threaten the continuation of the human race. I suggest that what same sex couple does not and will not impact heterosexual couples, and the the human race is in no danger of dropping population growth.
My own opinion is that some just oppose the normalisation and acceptance of homosexuality. Some religious folk expressed a respect for everyone regardless of sexual orientation. This gives me some hope.
This may not be the most important issue in the world right now, unless it directly affects you personally or a loved one. It just seems something relatively easy that will improve the situation for many ordinary people who love someone but are denied the right to marry.
Thanks all.

Mar 1 2012: What I think we mostly concerned is all about children. No one intends to let their children suffer from rumors and gossips, and no one wants to become the target that everyone hates. Therefore, let's think about the most basic question, why do or don't we accept same-sex marriage? Is there anything wrong to accept it? Or is it because of the bias we have? Or is it about the human extinction we concerned? If so, is it possible for a homosexual to have a heterosexual marriage happily ever after and raise their kids healthy and happy at the same time?

Oleda Baker is a young and vibrant 72 year old woman. When she was the tender age of 12, she began hairstyling for friends and family. Her father was so impressed with her talent that he offered to pay for beauty school. Oleda had different plans, though. When she was 26 she decided to uproot her family and travel to New York to begin a career as a model. She claims that the agents were very impressed that she appeared to be only 19 years old. As her modeling was taking off, she discovered that the beauty industry was lacking new and improved methods of skin treatments. This is when she began the Oleda company. She states that the most important aspect of controlling age is the types of nutrients that are put in and outside of the body. Oleda's product line has grown to litereally over hundreds or different types of beauty treatments and anti-aging products.
The official website of the Oleda company includes various pieces of information. A person can explore their product lines, view information about the company and obtain tips on anti-aging. There is a video from Oleda explaining her mission and suggesting that any questions can be addressed to her. She promises that every email will be answered. The website also presents consumer testimonials, free shipping on order over $60 as well as a complete print catalog.
The prices of the products vary. At the low end, a person can locate several products for fewer than $10. On the higher scale, an individual may be looking at around $150. There are several types of merchandise to choose from. A person may be interested in hair, skin or eye products. Pearls and gift items can also be located. The Oleda line also carries a men's section, weight loss products and a gift portion. Detailed information about each product can be obtained from the site as well.
Product Details
Each piece of merchandise may be viewed from the website. Detailed facts about each item are proudly displayed. These may include benefits, suggestions on use and how to complete a person's goal. Nevertheless, only a few items give an idea of the type of ingredients that are present in the products. These include but are not limited to simple active ingredients such as aloe, ginger root, green tea extract and tee tree oil.
The Good
- Oleda's website is filled with information about the products, helpful tips and company facts.
- A person can shop for Oleda's merchandise right from the site.
- Free shipping is offered on orders larger than $60.
- Testimonials are complete as well.
The Bad
- A list of every active ingredient is not present for products.
- A money back guarantee is not given and they do not offer a free trial.
- Some of the products are fairly expensive.
- Third party testimonials and personal reviews could not be found.
The Bottom Line
Oleda and Company Inc. claim that they know the secret to looking younger and feeling vibrant. They suggest that what a person puts into their body is as important as what skin care treatments they use. Unfortunately, an active ingredient list is not present anywhere on their website. While we do admire Oleda's holistic approach to fighting aging and encourage a healthy diet, we just don't have enough info about these specific products to determine if they live up to the manufacturer's own mission statement.

The Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism was born out of the tragedy of the Murrah bombing in 1995. It was the intention of the survivors and family members of the victims to create an institution that would look forward and help prevent future terrorism.
The Institute has a long history of innovation and accomplishment, beginning with three knowledge bases, one of which, the Lessons Learned Information Sharing knowledge base, is the United States governments official repository for lessons learned. Hard science research sponsored by the Institute created an explosive detection device being used by our soldiers around the world.
In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security challenged us to become a training center. Our signature law enforcement training program, InCOP, has been embraced by over 450 agencies nationally, to include the New York City Police Department.
We are currently creating a series of college courses in counter-terrorism that will ultimately, with the approval of the regents, become a degree path in the criminal justice program.
We are proud to be associated with Rose State College and see our future together and with mutual benefits and opportunities.

Assuming you mean something attainable on an established server...and not including realm first titles. .
I would say, myself, that the three hardest titles you can get now are:
Justiciar: While AV rep isn't hard to get, WSG and AB reps are, and require you put up with people in BGs. At least along the way you'll get a lot of the achievements for...
Battlemaster: Even more achievements that require you to spend all your time in BGs. I wonder if this would be easier using rated BGs whenever possible, since you'll have a bit more control over your success that way.
Professor: Twenty rare artifacts means you have to spend a vast amount of time farming for this, flying over Kalimdor for Night Elf and Tol'vira artifacts especially. It is entirely possible for the RNG to decide not to let you find some of the rares, either. Enjoy making another cinnabar bijou!

I survived! It has officially been a little over 24 hours since my procedure. I'm going to go in depth as far as what these past 24 hours have been like but here's some info about me first:
29 years old, 105 lbs, 5'4, "moderate" level of cellulite. Cellulite since the age of 11.
Area treated: back of both thighs, from just above my knee all the way up to just below my butt
Time of procedure with laser: 1 hour and 15 minutes (from the time Dr. Petti started and finished)
Other treatments tried: lipodissolve in 2007 (really painful injections that were supposed to help treat cellulite..so much for that!), creams, massages, etc.
So yesterday at 8AM I checked into Dr. Petti's office for my procedure. I was on her "operating table" by 9:15AM, and they started treating me around 9:45AM (it takes around half hour to prep the area, let the vicodin sink in, etc). I was done at 11AM. Although I did not fall asleep during the procedure, I was extremely relaxed, but aware of what was going on at the same time. Also, I should mention that I started getting a sore throat/minor body aches the day before my procedure (cold/flu, probably from the stress of everything) but it had no affect on anything at all.
The first 15-20 minutes were the toughest/most painful part of the procedure, which was when Dr. Petti began to numb the area. I wouldn't exactly call it a 10 on the pain scale but maybe a 7 during a few moments. I have a low tolerance to pain though and am a complete wimp when it comes to anything painful. After the numbing part was through though, I was a happy camper, and the "laser" part felt like a massage to me lol..I'm not kidding haha. And that of course is the bulk of the procedure, so I was extremely content with how easy the procedure part ended up being.
Not to mention..Dr. Petti was so gentle and caring throughout the entire procedure..as were her nurse (Jennifer) and her tech (Sharon). All three of them were so kind to me from start to finish, even when I started getting choked up a little when I said how much I hated being in a bathing suit or anything that showed my legs because of my cellulite. They were so sweet and so caring, I cannot tell you how blessed I feel that they were the ones looking after me before/during/and after my procedure. It was kind of fun hanging out with them haha.
My boyfriend picked me up, and still no pain at all yet. He set me up on his bed where I ate and slept. I also recommend by the way bringing crackers, a sandwich and some other snacks with you to eat right before the procedure. I had breakfast, but by the time 9am hit, I was pretty hungry and did not want to take the vicodin on an empty stomach. My stomach is very weak and get nauseated quite easily though, so I know for me I need to have a decent amount of food in it in order to prevent any nausea. And as soon as my boyfriend picked me up after the procedure, I chowed down on another sandwich lol and ate a bunch more once I got to his place. Also, I have been LIVING off of pineapple juice for over a week now, so I drank a bunch of that too. And had a really big dinner.
Dr. Petti called me in the evening to check up on me and I was feeling great. At around 8pm though, that's when I started experiencing my first bit of pain while walking around the house. I couldn't really walk anywhere without me feeling A LOT of pain in my thighs. But the pain was very minimal, if not non-existent while I was laying down or sitting…so I tried doing that as much as possible.
The second problem that came up yesterday night was when I realized I needed to go to the "bathroom" after eating all that food lol. Going pee isn't that much of a problem through that hole in the garment (although the only way I can do it is squatting because I don't want to get anything on the garment..yet another hassle I guess). But anyway, for the life of me, I couldn't bring myself to go to the bathroom through that hole in the back while sitting down. :( I was too afraid it would get the garment dirty, but I also didn't want to pull it down at all since I remembered Dr. Petti saying not to remove the garment at all. So needless to say, I never went to the bathroom that night. Dr. Petti mentioned today though that it's ok to pull it down a little, and man that made it so much easier! For those of you guys getting cellulaze done to your thighs AND butt..I'm not sure how that would all work. Also, getting front and back of thighs done also seems like it would be extremely difficult to go to the bathroom as well (number one) since I have to squat when I go. I feel for you guys!
And lastly, I had a similar problem like the previous poster LaurelC did. For some reason, I started crying uncontrollably and couldn't stop, for about 15 minutes. Maybe it was the vicodin in combination with my level of sadness for having to go through this procedure to begin with, and me feeling hopeless about my bathroom situation lol. Like I said before though, I'm a total wuss, and kind of overly emotional at times.
24 hours later though, I am feeling pretty dang good! :) Dr. Petti saw me this morning and although I am very swollen, she was pretty surprised by how little bruising I had. Pinneaple and those bromelain supplements really work I guess! She also removed the little drainage sheets I had underneath the garment and on them was a little bit of watered down blood, but that was it. I had no leaking through my garment except for a little bit of blood on the back of it, but that was all. No crazy amount fluid or anything like some of the other posters.
Dr. Petti, did end up using foam pads and she put them underneath my garment, and she said they are for "smoothing out the skin and contouring it" not for the purpose of soaking up any drainage. She said I should rotate them from horizontal to vertical and back and forth 3 times a day. I felt soooo much better with the pads in though! I feel like they allow my thighs to move less when I walk and also provide additional padding when sitting down/laying down. And 24 hours later, I also have permission to take a shower, but I think I'm going to hold off on that until tomorrow or maybe even the day after that because it is extremely painful putting the garment back on once it's taken off. And as far as me rotating the pads..haven't really gotten to that yet lol.
So although as of right now I am totally walking like I'm 99 and I feel like I'm in a world of pain when I have to walk around..when sitting/laying down I hardly feel anything at all! Just a little bit of tightness around my legs, but that is it. Another note: unless I was hopped up on pain meds, there is no way I'd be able to go to work today based off of how painful it is to walk around. So hopefully you guys can take a few days off if you are planning on getting this procedure done, because I definitely wouldn't say you can go to work the same day or the next day without being extremely uncomfortable.
So anyway, those are the pros and cons in a nutshell. I have my next follow up appointment in 7 days, next Thursday May 24th but I will keep you guys in the loop if I learn anything new or my status changes. Much love!
Everything you need to know about this procedure :) - Torrance, CA
I survived! It has officially been a little over...
I survived! It has officially been a little over 24 hours since my procedure. I'm going to go in depth as far as what these past 24 hours have been like but here's some info about me first:
It has almost been a week since I had the...
All in all though, I would say that the worst pain is the first 3 days, but after that it gets better with each day. One good thing about the swelling going down is that the garment isn't so terribly tight anymore, so I can sleep a little more comfortably now. Your legs will feel really tight and itchy after this procedure though, so don't expect to get a good night sleep. I honestly have not had a sound night of sleep since I've gotten this done, and normally I am a very good/deep sleeper.
I've been looking at my legs through the garment though, and in the past there would be a bunch of horizontal lines/ridges that would be visible through pants, but as of right now there aren't any. I know I am still very swollen though so that's not really evidence of anything, but just hoping that my thighs will look like that once the swelling goes down.
So all in all, I guess you could say I do see a difference, but only because of the swelling. If definitely has been a painful experience and inconvenient in a lot of ways..I kind of wish I got this done during the colder months because it has been too hot lately to be in this garment! Anyway just glad that the worst of it seems to be behind me now. Hope that helps and I'll update you guys again once I talk to the doc in a few days :)
Saw Dr. Petti today! I'm 8 days post procedure and...
I will post up pics for you guys at the 2 week mark, and then again at the one month mark. Hope everyone has a great memorial day weekend!
Hey everyone, I have been ill so that's why I...
So it has been over 3 months since I had my procedure and the back of my legs still hurt a little, and there is a dark looking tint to them still as well. Just looks like the back of my legs are bruised still.
As far as cellulite, there has been a reduction, but I still have it. Again, I'm going to say maybe 50-60% less. Hope that helps and good luck to everyone with what they decide!
Excellent in all regards..if I could give Dr. Petti and her staff 10 stars I would. She is the most caring, sweet, genuine doctor in the world, and so is her staff. I think someone posted negatively on Dr. Petti on here about a consultation (or Dr. Petti's staff?) but I honestly don't know how that could even be possible...everything from my consultation to the procedure couldn't have been better. I would not want to go with any other doc but her, and I'm so grateful that I was able to have her as my doctor.

Sorry to hear you have been ill, ihatecellulite. So, I know you still have another 3 months in the 3-6month window, but I'm curious if things didn't improve any more and a 50-60% reduction was the final result would you do it again, or do you not think that amount of improvement was worth the discomfort, downtime, and money?

Congrats ihatecellulite! I think 50-60% improvement is GREAT and you still have room to go with the coming months! Lotsalipo, I think that anything above 50% is amazing. Seriously, if someone said I can give you 50% less cellulite in 3 months, you wouldn't have believed them. This is something that many of us have been cursed with for years - and 50% improvement is significant! We have to set realistic expectations. We all want perfection- but that's just not realistic sadly! But we can make ourselves better and be grateful for all we do have. It's a risk that it will work for a person's particular body type. I just knew that I was willing to try it for the possibility of having improvement. Turned out, I was one of the lucky ones. But this website and this little community is so great. I felt so supported and loved by all these strangers- but we all shared a common goal and there is nothing like girl love to get your through rough times. Like my friend on here Aging Maven, we take risks and in the end, need to be grateful for what we do have in life, not focus on what we don't have. I wish you loads of luck Lotsalipo. It's a tough road in the beginning healing, but hopefully you will achieve a nice level of improvement that will have you in those shorter skirts come New Years Eve! xoxo

I'm taking bromelin and arnica. Let me know I'm going to dr D Thursday for my 4 weeks so I'm hoping this swelling goes down!
Any advice would be great.
I also think that the antibiotic Keflex really messed with me. My stomach has been crazy for 3 weeks :(

Sounds like your cellulite was pretty minor so maybe that's why you can't quite tell?

I am 3 weeks out today and personally really don't see an improvement. I still have bruising and minor swelling more so on the back of my legs which might just take longer to heal.
I'm really discouraged though since minor was grade 2 small I expected to see immediate results. I'm going to him on June 14th for my 4 weeks so I might schedule my smooth shapes then. I just don't know what to think :(
I know patience is key. I'm also been under a lot of personal
stress so I'm sure this is adding to it. And the garment has been so tight on my stomach and hot I just couldn't take it anymore.
Especially when you don't see results it's discouraging!
Just going to hang in there I promise to make a post soon, life has just been nutty!

As for my progress, I am 3 weeks out and unfortunately after the swelling went down I still have about 50% of my cellulite. But at least it has improved somewhat.
I still wear the garment every night because when I don't wear it I wake up sore. I feel like I go 2 Steps forward then 1 step backward lol..I guess I need to focus on the improvement I see and realize that I need to be patient, and do a final assessment at 3 months as to whether or not this was procedure was worth it.
Time will tell ladies! August 15th is the 3 month mark for me..it sounds so far away :(

What??? You are three weeks out and have 50% improvement??? That's awesome! Why are you bummed?!?!?! We need to be realistic- my best friend (who is the only person I told about this) reminded me that I told her before the procedure that if I got 50-75% improvement I'd be so happy. I'm at that point now. And I was getting greedy and wanting more. We need to be realistic. If we had it bad to start out with, 50-75% improvement is pretty darn good. And I'm only at 5 1/2 weeks. We all knew going into this that 3-6 months is the place to get to, with continued improvement over time. Not to mention I am 43. I have 43 year old skin. I'll never have my 22 yr old body back (and man, was it fabulous!). All I can do is take care of what I got. So focus on that 50% improvement!!!
Keep your chin up ihatecellulite. 50% improvement after 3 weeks I think is pretty darn good!

So maybe I should wait on smoothe shape? They said they give me 2 sessions and I know the OR nurse had it and looked amazing in 2 weeks!!!

Oh and I forgot to mention my tidbit on the garment..go with a garment that is comfortable and clips in so that you don't have the issues LaurelC did with the zipper digging into your skin. Mine is called Veronique.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on all of this ihatecellulite. I would love it if you would post a picture of the garment you used so we can see what the clips look like as opposed to the zipper.
Hope your healing continues to go great for you!!

What are your thoughts on everything so far..are you going to get this procedure done?

Like wearing those foam pads..is a must! Yes they might be just a little bulkier than wearing the garment alone, but you need the extra cushioning after this procedure. When I have a bruise, the last thing I want to do is keep traumatizing it/putting excess pressure on it..but that's what we're all doing when we sit/lay down. So people definitely need to get the foam pads and wear them for a week post procedure. If your doc doesn't have them and/or isn't using them on you, that is not cool! Why would a doc not have them? Well because they are expensive, and just another cost they would have to worry about that can be avoided.
Yes, the pads need to be alternated which is a pain but definitely worth it in the long run for optimal healing.
Secondly, exercising and massage in the first 1-2 weeks is absolutely insane! If it's bruised, and it's jiggling and still hurts, don't do it.
Thirdly, if your doc recommends additional procedures immediately after your treatment, please don't do it. We all know that it takes 3-6 months to see true improvement..all we need to see results after Cellulaze is time.
Ok I think that's all I have to say for now! ;0

Good to hear an update from you ihatecellulite! I'm glad to hear the swelling is going down for you & making the garment at least a bit more tolerable.
Looking forward to hearing more & hope your healing continues at a quick pace!!

Thanks for the info on going to the bathroom tho lol, I definitely have to pull the garment down for #2..but I guess that's just a minor inconvenience. Also jealous that your garment is shorter..that would help with my clothing situation but I guess I'm not going anywhere anyway.
So no foam pads for u huh? U should post a pic of u in ur garment..I wanna see it! (or email it to me!). And I just noticed you are in los angeles as well..that's crazy, all along for some reason I thought u and your doc were out in Texas lol. Do you know how many procedures your doc has done? And how are u doing since the whole nordy's thing..I was seriously worried about you after reading that :( Let me know girlie!

Fazhionista: thanks for keeping me in your thoughts! Dr. Petti was the only doc I saw and in my opinion, the only doc I needed to see. I definitely was hoping for a better price though, but even so I did not feel the need to shop around and do other consults. When it comes to something this risky, it's always best to go with someone you have faith in. Dr. Petti is kind, I believe her to be trustworthy, and as far as I know she has done the greatest number of these cellulaze procedures in the los angeles area. Hope that's helpful! :)

I have a consult with Dr. Petti in June. Did you have consults with anyone else? Looking forward to hearing about the next week for you and your after pictures! Hope you have a speedy recovery!
