There is something to be said for the notion of pure performance - acting stripped down so the physical setting is discarded, leaving only the voice of those on a stage and your own imagination. If you were one of the lucky few who managed to snag a ticket to the one off reading of John Osbourne's renowned play 'Look Back in Anger' on Friday 6 July 2012 at the Duke of York's Theatre in London, pure performance was demonstrated for you in spades.
It's difficult to call this a review – since the play will never be performed again in this setting or form it would be churlish to attempt to do so. Instead, we'll describe and examine what we saw as best we can, as ultimately the reading served as a window into the actor's craft in a way we've possibly never seen before. The performance was part of The Royal Court at The Dukes of York's Playwright's Playwrights season, where a writer would pick an existing play of their choice and direct it in less than two days. Look Back in Anger was chosen by Polly Stenham, an award winning writer whose first play 'That Face' featured Lindsey Duncan and Matt Smith in its first performance in 2007.
The reading took the form of five actors sat on chairs on stage – the set actually dressed for a separate play performed every evening entitled 'Posh', a fact that is somewhat ironic considering the piece's subject matter. The ensemble took the form of Benedict Cumberbatch, Rebecca Hall (The Awakening; The Prestige; and the currently filming Iron Man 3), Matt Ryan (The Tudors, Torchwood), Anna Maxwell Martin (Becoming Jane, South Riding), and Julian Wadham (The Madness of King George, The Iron Lady). With a cast like that, we knew we were in for a bit of a treat, and thanks to the depth of the subject matter, no one disappointed. Osbourne's play is a ferocious, dark, moving and very funny examination of the young of the mid nineteen fifties in Britain. Children born during the Second World War, all the characters are fractured and directionless, and most importantly very, very bored with their lives. The play is of course famous for coining the phrase 'Angry Young Men', terminology that has entered the lexicon of both public life and popular culture, as well as bringing a depth of social realism to the stage that until it's first performance had never been attempted in such a manner.
As the lead character Jimmy, Benedict Cumberbatch gained the lion's share of the piece, as well as the greatest gamut of emotions. While it would be very simple for an actor to simply remain seated and read the lines by wrote off the page, Benedict was an animated presence through – though first impressions seemed against that, as at the start he simply lounged in his chair, crossed legs outstretched, with the script held directly in front of his face so no one in the audience could see him. But of course, this was all part of his portrayal of the character, for Jimmy when we meet him is reclining lazily, reading the Sunday papers. This theme of seated theatrical physicality stayed throughout the entire reading, with Benedict acting out the stage direction of the script, plus his own embellishments, as it went along. On numerous occasions you gained the sense of someone constrained by the requirement to sit, an obvious desire to be up and around that stage, thrashing and trashing it as Jimmy's self control slips and returns. As well as being furiously funny and angrily impassioned, some moments of the play allowed Benedict to demonstrate his famous ability to cry on cue, as well as his gifted vocal and impression skills, changing his accent through numerous permutations and countries as Jimmy's comedically bitter rage continued to spiral out of control. There was one other little residual thought that came over us having seen Benedict's reading of Jimmy – this would have been Sherlock Holmes had he been born without his intellect but retaining his desire for new experiences and the resultant frustrations when he couldn't attain them.
While none of the other cast were required to perform the sheer passion that Benedict imbued into his reading, all were superb. Rebecca Hall played Jimmy's wife Alison with gentle sweetness and a bubbling, latent frustration and fear at her husband. Most notable was her interaction with Benedict, at times giving the sense that despite being sat a couple of feet apart, both could have been performing the play properly through their very vocal work. Benedict and Rebecca are of course playing husband and wife in the upcoming BBC/HBO First World War Miniseries 'Parade's End', due to screen later in 2012. We were already looking forward to the series immensely, but having seen the pair perform so intimately together onstage our expectations for the Mammoth Screen production are now simply through the roof.
As Cliff, Matt Ryan is an unknown to us, but he imbued the role with the suitable degree of level headedness, nobility and sweetness that makes him a perfect counter to Jimmy's nature and the situation the household finds itself in. While not above joining in with Jimmy, and doing his best to be a strong friend to all in the cramped house, Cliff requires a degree of quiet realism compared to his counterpart's ferociously changeable moods, and he is consistently the better man – he clearly loves Alison in his own way, and shows it physically apart from the ultimate, sexual stage. Matt gave the reading its caring heart and a sense of normalcy against the chaos of the emotions of others and the events that ensue.
Anna Maxwell Martin is one of those memorable actresses that appears in numerous productions in small roles but makes a distinct impact. The same was true here. Absent for the entire first act, her role as Alison's friend Helena allowed her to exhibit a degree of the true ice queen initially, her steely and quiet hatred of Jimmy palpable, before softening in a manner that would have been shocking to an audience of the mid nineteen fifties. She is ultimately a strong person who realises the error of her actions of her own volition, and is thus a catalyst for Jimmy to do the same by the close.
The company was rounded out by Julian Wadham, playing both Alison's father Colonel Redfern and narrating the majority of the stage direction from the script. A man by his own admission who is out of touch with 'the modern world' – or more than likely, by his title, this Post-war era - Redfern, though brief, is a role that requires a degree of sympathy and warmth, and Julian imbued his reading with plenty.
The sense throughout the entire performance was a distinct sense of pleasure from the entire cast, all enjoying the experience and each other's reading of the words on the page immensely, listening and watching when they were not reading themselves. This performance of Look Back in Anger was a truly unique experience for all involved, and us as an audience. The chance to see actors performing at this level after only rehearsing two days beforehand makes us long for a full production with this ensemble, but we'll content ourselves with the chance to see Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall portray another fracturing marriage and all the attendant emotions later this year in Parade's End. As it was, this reading gave us that true window into how actors approach material near the start, before it can be refined into a full production for an audience, night after night. It was a fantastic privilege of an afternoon, and provided an electrifying experience.

This book is part of a series and readers who have not read the previous books will be lost. The language is medieval and previous explanations from the author on the world he created would be useful. Despite the unfamiliar names and the references to pre-existing wars, the overall storyline is interesting and not that hard to follow. However, you have to wade through a lot of confusion first.
Malgwyn, a soldier in his own right, has been summoned by the king to act as a negotiator for two warring groups. On his way to negotiations, he stops to visit King Doged, an ally struggling to retain control of his kingdom. After Doged is murdered, Malgwyn changes course and seeks to avenge the slain king.

The authors describe the introduction and use of the problem-oriented record on a short-term psychiatric inpatient unit where treatment is provided primarily by nurses and psychiatric aides. The introduction of the new system required careful planning, staff seminars, and individual supervision. Its use has permitted informational deficiencies to be more quickly identified and corrected, treatment planning to be more effective, staff skills to be improved, and the quality of patient care to be assessed. The authors believe the problem-oriented record is clearly superior to the narrative chart on a unit where treatment is provided by multi-disciplinary teams.

Thursday Things
Happy Thursday! So I took a longer vacation from blogging than I'd hoped, but today I just had the itch to write. This summer has turned out 10 times busier than I thought it would be. Remember those carefree summer days from childhood? Yeah, what are those? :) Nearly every weekend we've had plans. Weekdays seem to be flying by with work, working out, being Oliver's mom, freelancing and just generally running from here to there. So without further ado, here are some of my latest musings.
1) On Saturday I went to my friend and fellow blogger Sun's house for a "My Favorite Things" party. In addition to our regular potluck-style spread, we each brought 4 of our favorite things under $5 (I'm guessing there were about 10 of us girls there). Since one of my favorite things is cooking, I brought some of my favorite spice blends from Penzy's. In return, I got a bunch of cool gifts from other girls. One of Laura's favorite things is Trader Joe's Sweet and Spicy Pecans.
Since taking my first bite, I have been completely obsessed. I never (read NEVER) snack on nuts, but these are amazing. Along with my cookie butter and TJ's sushi, I will always add these into my cart.
2. Farmers market season is here! I went to my first market of the season in Greendale (a suburb of Milwaukee) on Saturday and it was hopping. And no, I don't care if I sound like a grandma using that word. Everyone and their dog was out and about. Brenton was out of town for a bachelor party, so I treated myself to lots of fresh veggies and lilies.
The best part? They were only $5!
3. I am beyond excited for Laurie's wedding on Saturday! I've been hoping for good weather for her and James all week. Supposedly this heat wave is supposed to break, so that's a blessing in itself! Either way, I know their wedding will be absolutely gorgeous. Her shower a few weeks ago even gave me an idea for my newspaper column.
This month's Gatherings was all about hosting a bridal shower. The food and photos were some of the best that Brenton and I have done since starting Gatherings in June 2012. I got that aqua pitcher at our church rummage sale and I am in love with it. What it's holding is even better, a fruit salad sangria. To. Die. For. I especially love the boozy fruit that sinks to the bottom when all the sangria is gone. I may or may not have had that for breakfast the next day.
Question: What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Thursday Things
She's alive! This week has flown by with work, running and everything in between. So without further ado, he's what I've been up to lately.
1. I had no idea yesterday was National Running Day! It was pretty dreary around these parts, so I didn't get to run outside. But every chance I get I'm hitting the trails with Oliver.
Laurie wrote a touching post about why she loves running, which made me think about my own running journey.
I love running because it gives me the chance to think. I have my BEST ideas when I'm either running or in the shower (TMI but who cares!). I have been known to completely lose myself in thought and suddenly I've gone another mile without even realizing it. 95% of the time I'm also running with Oliver.
Running bonds us like nothing else. There's nothing Oliver loves more than scampering with the wind blowing through his floppy ears. I honestly think Brenton is missing out (he doesn't run unless he's being chased). Sometimes when I listen to music I say to myself, "Oliver would love this song" because it seems like his cadence is in perfect rhythm with whatever I'm listening to. If he could talk, I'm sure he'd say his favorite band is the Black Keys :)
Oddly enough, I hated running before I rescued Oliver. If I had to run, I much preferred a treadmil and running outside scared me. Now I'd glady exchange the treadmil for a run outside. Whenever we get back from a run, Oliver sticks to me like glue and follows me everywhere. Does anyone else experiences this?
2. My Gatherings column in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was published on Sunday. It was all about going into uncharted territory in the kitchen. Although I can make a TON of complicated foods (like eggrolls, homemade pasta and cakes galore), I can't make Minute rice to save my life. I kid you not. I don't even buy rice because it tastes like crap whenever I do try to make it. It's either burnt, too watery, gummy or just inedible. So for me, tacking risotto was quite a feat. Brenton helped me with the stirring part but I measured and cut everything. I was thankful for his help because putting on a spread like this isn't easy. You have to time everything out perfectly, style each dish and take photos. Brenton took this picture and did a fabulous job. He's so talented!
3. I'm so excited for the weekend! Brenton and I are watching "Life of Pi" tomorrow night, which I heard was really good. We have leftover homemade mac and cheese and pulled pork in the fridge for dinner, but I'm having a mad craving for Asian….again. On Saturday, my mom, my nephew Triddy (i.e. Tristan) and I are going antiquing in Lake Geneva, Wi. Bring on the bargains and vintage finds. Speaking of vintage, I posted a decrepit chair on here a month or so ago and I finally finished reupholstering it! It looks fantastic, and I can't wait to share it with everyone.
Question: Any weekend plans? What do you love about running?
Thursday Things
Happy, happy day. Not only was I able to score a nice run with Oliver today (it's finally in the 40s!), but our Florida vacay is coming up shortly (I won't say exactly when for fear of stalkers, robbers, i.e. bad people), but I will make sure to post a recap when we get back.
Since we are going to the tropics (anything south of Tennessee sounds like the tropics at this point), I needed a swimsuit. Since I've been wearing the same suits since I was 17, I figured it was time to upgrade.
I ended up going to Kohl's and choosing this colorblock suit from Chaps. I really wanted something strapless (i.e. no tan lines), and this suit spoke to me right away. I have a very classic style when it comes to clothes, partly so I can wear some of the same pieces for years and years. Here's a pic of the model wearing it as a halter.
I've also been writing about food like it's my job (which is why you haven't seen too many recipes lately). Since I test all of the recipes I include in my articles, I haven't had time (or enough meals in a day) to cook "me" food. Still, I've been making tons of delicious things. Check out this article I wrote on Passover and another I wrote on Egg Decorating. As part of the egg decorating article, I got to experiment with natural dyes and make these bedazzled eggs. Since you decorate them after they're blown out, they last forever.
Not bad if I do say so myself!
Question: Do you decorate for Easer? Also, what's the longest you've owned a piece of clothing?
I'm not ashamed to say that the jeans I'm wearing now are at least 9 years old. At least they still fit!
Thursday Things
Happy Thursday! As we speak (or as I type, rather), I'm making my second Alpha Bakery Banana Bread of the week. We're headed to Appleton for a funeral tonight, and Brenton's family could use some comfort food (don't we all?!). Unlike my healthified version from Monday, I don't have any white whole wheat flour or cacao nibs. So I'm making this loaf exactly like my dad and I used to make it, complete with walnuts because every good banana bread needs nuts. Here's what else I've been up to:
1. When it comes to comfort food, there's nothing higher on my list than a casserole. After writing this article for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, I discovered that you can make a casserole out of pretty much anything (baked mac and cheese, lasagna, even a breakfast strata).
One of the coolest things about researching and writing this article was that I got to interview Bobby Deen! (yes, that was an inaudible squeal) He was the epitome of southern charm and so down to Earth. He has a complete chapter on casseroles and one-dish meals in his new book, "From Mama's Table to Mine." I included a recipe for his Mexican Fiesta Casserole, which fed Brenton and I for days (the consequence of making any casserole in a two-person household).
2. I've been living in Zensah's Seamless Power Running Jacket. The fabric is ultra breathable, soft and moisture wicking. You can tell this is a quality fabric as soon as you pick it up (I was introduced to Zensa when I first tried their compression socks). One thing I especially like about this jacket, besides the thumb holes, is the pocket in the back. Most people would use this for a key. I use it for poop bags. #TheLifeOfADogOwner

Sorry I've been a little MIA since Monday's delicious Ginger and Pear Butternut Squash Soup post. Truth be told, this week has not been great. I don't know if it's this Wisconsin winter that has no end or the fact that my hair is all about static these days (and don't forget the pale, dry skin!), but this time of year has me dreaming of spring. So in Thursday Things format, here's what I've been up to lately.
1. I've finally cleaned my coffeemaker!
Before you go all Martha on me, let me tell you what this machine has gone through. It's almost 7 years old. It got Brenton and I though college and this cruddy old thing was how I got addicted to coffee. After all that, you'd think we could show it a little more love. But no. It hasn't been cleaned this whole time until this week (ok, we have cleaned the pot but not the actual machine). I actually used this Capresso Cleaning Solution.
Basically it's a powder that you dissolve in water and you run it through your coffee machine. This really helped get rid of the grime and anything that was left behind we whipped away with a paper towel. I'd have to say, I really think our coffee tastes better now that we've cleaned the machine.
2. Tuesday was a treat. The day started out with me checking my personal email (of course). Well I guess someone else had the same idea because my account was on lockdown due to their attempt to break into my account. After a solid 30 minute freak-out, I was able to get back into my account and change my password.
Well, later that same day I was driving down the interstate and a stone hit my windshield and it cracked! Thank goodness a repairman could drive to my house and fix it.
3. To cheer myself up, and anyone else who's having an off week, here are some cutie-pie pics of Oliver. Enjoy!
What a good sport :)
Question: Have you been having an off-week too? What happened? Feel free to vent/complain. This is a judgment-free zone!
Thursday Things + A Candy Giveaway
I have Christmas on the brain, which means my thoughts today are completely scattered and random. Here's what I am doing/craving/thinking about:
1. I think Oliver is conditioned to sleep during the day. I worked from home today in light of the major storm hitting the Midwest (Snowpocalypse maybe?). I think because we're usually at work during the day, he reserves his energy for when we get home — which includes him flying around the living room and whining to go outside. But from 8 am – 4 pm, he's pretty much a vegetable.
2. With only a few weeks until the Icebreaker Marathon Relay, I'm getting more serious about training. For the past few weeks, I'll jump on the treadmill and run a comfortable 9 minute mile pace. Then I'll crank up the speed to 8:27 or 8:00 and try to maintain that for a mile. Then I'll go back go jogging and repeat 2 or 3 times. I'd love to know how my teammate Laurie is tackling this :) Our goal for this race is to have fun, but I still want a good time.
3. I am reading the most amazing book. It's called "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks." It's about a woman from the 1950s who dies of cervical cancer. Her doctor took samples of her tumor which multiplied to be the first immortal human cells, which are still alive today. They've been used to create the polio vaccine as well as other medical advancements. I'm less than halfway through, but I am completely transfixed. I love how this novels interweaves science with the story of Henrietta's actual life.
4. Enstrom Candy Giveaway!
I've been munching on the Almond Toffee from Enstrom Candies for the past week. As someone who LOVES candy and often makes her own (I've tried my hand at English Toffee and Lollipops), I consider myself an connoisseur.
Enstrom's toffee is buttery and rich. With chunks of almonds and a milk chocolate coating sprinkled with crushed almonds, this candy is is as gourmet as it comes.
Now here's where you come in: Enstrom has offered to send one lucky She's on the Run reader a 1-pound box of Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee! I'll leave the giveaway open until January 2, 2013. To Enter (Mandatory): Like Enstrom Candies on Facebook AND leave a comment here telling me what you favorite candy is.
And don't forget! You still have until Christmas to enter my giveaway for a set of William Bounds Salt and Pepper Mills (an $80 value!).

Thursday Things
It's been way too long since my last Thursday Things post. I have a ton of good post and reviews to share, but today I just need to rant (in a good way!).
What I'm eating for dinner:
Laurie posted this recipe for Spaghetti Squash and Sautéed Vegetables a few days ago, and with a ton of squash on our hands, I couldn't wait to make this. Like most of my cooking, I used her recipe as a guide and made it my own using what I had on hand. I made more of an Italian version that features olives, Italian spices and Parmesan cheese.
Italian Spaghetti Squash and Sautéed Vegetables
Inspired by Laurie
Serves 4
1 spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 zucchini, sliced
1 10-ounce bag frozen, chopped spinach, thawed
1 large tomato, diced
1/3 cup sliced olives
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 -2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cut the spaghetti squash in half, and put in a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, and continue boiling the spaghetti squash for 15 minutes. While the squash is boiling, add the olive oil and zucchini to a large pot and sauté for about 7 minutes, or until lightly brown. Add the diced tomatoes, spinach, olives and spices and continue cooking. Remove the spaghetti squash from the water (tongs work well for this), and with a fork, scrape the sides of the squash into the skillet with the other vegetables. Finally, add the cheese, and mix until all the ingredients are combined and heated through.
What I'm eating for breakfast:
Chobani is, by far, my favorite brand of Greek yogurt so I'll try pretty much anything they make. However, as someone who despises anything pineapple flavored (I LOVE fresh pineapple though), I was skeptical to try their 2% Pineapple yogurt. I have to say though, this is my favorite of their line. It's so fresh and fruity without tasting artificial at all. YUM!
What I'm coveting:
Contrast Collar Blouse from The Limited
This blouse…and just about anything from The Limited. This is my favorite clothing store and about 50% of my closet is from here. But whatever they're showing on their website now is especially calling to me. The tunics…the sheath dresses…the coats. Swoon.
What new gadget I just love:
As someone who brings lunch to work 90% of the time, I know how hard it is to cart salad dressing. Either you bring a full bottle or make a mess trying to fit it into a small Pyrex container. So I was thrilled when I saw this Dressing-2-Go Container from Stonewall Kitchen. At only $4.95, I know I'll be getting a lot use out of this. Now if I only I had fresh veggies in the house to make a salad :)
Question: Tell me, what's your favorite clothing store? Chobani flavor? Gadget?

How to burn ISO disc images | 40 comments | Create New Account
The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
How to burn ISO disc images
I have found that the easiest way to do this is to use two programs: Disc Utility (DU) and Hand Brake (HB). If you have a collection of .iso files, simply open DU and from the "File" tab, select Open Disk Image. Locate the folder your .iso file is located in and select it. A new Finder window will pop up and provide that .iso in a folder containing usually two sub folders: AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. Now open HB and click the "Source" tab. It will ask you for video files. Find the Finder window containing your .iso sub folders and select the VIDEO_TS folder. Then create a destination you would like your output video file placed. Select the format of video you desire, found on the right column in HB, and select "Start" at the top left.
How to burn ISO disc images
the best way to burn .ts files ( or to make an original DVD copy of YOUR PERSONNEL DVD's) is to copy them with "mac the ripper" and burn them to dvd with "burn" ( the software called "burn"), it is fast and easy! just make sure you change the format to dvd master, you can also do data and audio cd's and dvd's.

Let's take a look at the models, designers, and tastemakers who most impacted the fashion world this year. More
This top agency has announced an initiative to be "ageless, raceless, and weightless," but is this just a giant publicity stunt? More
ast night saw (the filming of) the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show–the show itself doesn't air until December, but that's roughly how long it'll take to make sense of what happened.
Ahead, see deeply silly outfits on supermodels like Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Doutzen Kroes, Behati Prinsloo, Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne, Jourdann Dunn and many, many more. More
Last night saw (the filming of) the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show–not to mention, the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show pink carpet. Yes, dozens upon dozens of the world's top models gathered to vogue before the show–from your warhorse Angels … More
Last night, Glamour's 23rd annual Women of the Year Awards took place in New York, drawing out some famous women from rather disparate industries: from the show business side came Lady Gaga, Lena Dunham, and Lily Collins; from fashion, models like Karlie Kloss and Coco Rocha; from activism, Liya Kebede and Malala Yousafzai. Here's the red carpet. More
Gisele Bundchen just knows no other way. More
Last night, the Museum of Modern Art hosted a tribute to Tilda Swinton in New York City which, predictably, lured out some of the city's more fashionable denizens, including Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld, Alexa Chung, Jessica Biel, Karlie Kloss and more.
Here's what they work, ranked on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being Most Tilda). More
Last night saw the Fashion Group International's annual Night of Stars Gala–drawing out some of the industry's best and brightest (and tallest). Check out what a host of designers and supermodels wore, featuring Kate Upton, Doutzen Kroes, Alexa Chung, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls and, yes, Miley Cyrus. More
When you hear Coach, what do you think? More
If you like fashion and breasts and attractive people in sexual situations, hold onto your pants because CR Fashion Book has a spread with your sexually liberated and/or pervy name on it. More
We supposed it started with the Met Gala. Then that L'Officiel cover with Kane West where the couple appeared to be having sex. Now, Kim Kardashian's weird, inexplicably effective circling of high fashion's periphery has brought her to the cover of CR Fashion Book, the fancy collectable high fashion bible from Carine Roitfeld. If this isn't a sign of
the fashion industry's shameful lack of originality Kim's unexpected versatility, nothing is. More
I wonder what she will say when people ask her if she got The Karlie? More
There are few models bigger than Karlie Kloss at this moment, so as a result of the fashion industry's supersaturation of specific faces, we tend to see a lot of hers. When I read that Kloss did another editorial for Vogue to accompany a story from Plum Sykes regarding her experience at Austria's Viva Mayr clinic, I was admittedly not particularly eager to see the shots.
However, these are totally awesome. More

Heavy, Tired and Painful Feet and Legs are a Common Symptom of Bartonella
As you probably know or have heard of, bartonella is a co-infection of lyme disease. Many people have it although I don't know the percent of people with this co-infection. One of the symptoms of bartonella is painful legs and feet. It always amazes me that I wake up in this condition, as if I have been walking many miles in heavy snow while I have been asleep. Not only does it feel like walking through heavy snow, it also feels as though somehow the bottom of my feet have been clobbered with a heavy object, such as a baseball bat. One would think that after a night's rest, your legs and feet would have no excuse for being so tired and painful while taking your first step out of bed.
Depending on what activities I do on any given day, my painful, tired and heavy legs are directly effected. There are days that cooking dinner is quite a difficult task if I haven't given my legs plenty of breaks.
I have come across something that I find quite amazing and helpful with this debilitating symptom! I tried it for the first time today and I am so glad I did! It is a magnesium oil that I sprayed and massaged directly on to my legs and feet. Within five minutes, I noticed a decrease in the pain level. Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer and I certainly benefited from it's use.
Because this worked so well for me, I am not dreading cooking dinner for my family tonight. We shall see how long the effects last, but I am totally thrilled with this product.

ARCH ENEMY premieres JUDAS PRIEST cover track, "Breaking The Law"
Tags: arch enemy > breaking the law > Judas Priest
This October/November, metal icons ARCH ENEMY will be returning to North American soil to tour in support of their new, critically acclaimed album, War Eternal! To celebrate this momentous headlining trek, the band will be releasing a split 7″ with KREATOR, who are direct support on the run. Available starting at the Baltimore show tonight (October 23), be sure to purchase this exclusive transparent red 7″ (limited to 500 copies) at the merch table; a dark red 7″ (limited to 500 copies) will also be available on KREATOR and ARCH ENEMY's European tour, which sees ARCH ENEMY as direct support.
ARCH ENEMY covered the JUDAS PRIEST classic "Breaking The Law" for this special release; to hear their version of the track, head over to Revolver Mag for the premiere.
Michael Amott (guitar) comments: "When we do covers, we have a tendency to pick somewhat obscure songs. However, the iconic 'Breaking The Law' anthem by JUDAS PRIEST is anything but that of course! This just started with a fun jam in the studio, and during the process, we tried to make it sound as ARCH ENEMY as possible – it turned out pretty f'n cool, and here it is…Enjoy!"

Sophia Bush inspired by Beyonce Knowles
Actress Sophia Bush said that singer Beyonce Knowles has taught her to be more confident and love herself.
"Beyonce convinced me to do my Maxim cover. I was like, I am a grown woman and I can do whatever I want. I was like, Hey, I'm allowed to feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm allowed to push the envelope. I'm allowed to have the conversations with the women who are in my audience that no one wants to talk about," showbizspy.com quoted Bush as saying.
"No one wants to talk about owning our bodies and the way we feel in them. We are so sexualised by everyone else that we don't spend a lot of time saying, 'No, this is my body, and this is for me.
"I feel confident when I feel strong. I think any time that you sort of achieve something new, that does it, too. The women who come to me everyday, whether I run into them on the street, whether we're talking on Twitter or Instagram, we're having inspiring, real, meaningful conversations, and if I can give them permission to do that, then they can do the same for me," added the actress.

An X-class solar flare -- the biggest class of solar flare -- has erupted from the sun straight towards Earth, and geomagnetic storms are on the way.
August 24 and 25 saw a surge in solar activity, with NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory capturing a series of stunning photos of three coronal mass ejections.
IRIS is NASA's newest toy for studying the sun. It just observed its first solar eruption, and it was a doozy.
A new video shows a burst of light leaping off the sun that is so massive the space agency gives it an X-class rating, which denotes the most intense of all flares.
The sun is getting seriously busy, erupting in its first X-class solar flares — the most powerful flares it can emit.
On 1 May, an enormous plasma flare erupted on the sun — and was captured by NASA's fleet of Heliophysics satellites.
NASA on alert for more after-effects of geomagnetic storm to satellites and spacecraft.
As magnetic fields on the sun rearrange and realign, sunspots appear in unstable configurations that lead to eruptions of solar flares.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory records a glowing light bulb-like billowing tower of plasma on Sunday that was more than 100,000 miles across.
An iPhone case maker has come up with a new design that offers to keep stray light from creating purple halos in photos and videos.

DIY Ambilight: Because your TV isn't big enough already
You'd think that a 55-inch, full-HD LCD television with surround sound system connected to an enormous media pc, XBox 360 and a PS3 would be enough for a man who actually mostly plays PC games in a different room and watches TV on his phone on the train trip to work. But you'd be wrong.
Dave of DaveNewson.com is the latest of major nerdy tinkerers to take on the DIY challenge of Ambilight – a TV enhancement where the colours from your TV are projected onto the wall behind it. There are some sane reasons for doing this – improved immersion and less eye-strain when watching in the dark being the main ones. But mostly, Dave did it because it looks "cool as hell". Click here to see it in action.
Want your own Ambilight system? There are a few different ways of setting this up apparently, but essentially you will need a strip of colour-changing LEDs, a micro controller, a PC to play media from, a 5 volt power supply, a TV, and a way better understanding of electronics than me. Click here to read the really quite detailed How-To on DaveNewson.com.

GMS Short-Term Sessions 2014-2015
The Governor Morehead School for the Blind is offering nine different one-week Short -Term sessions to students (K-12) with visual impairments from all across North Carolina.
The Governor Morehead School for the Blind will educate, advocate, and provide resources for all North Carolina students with visual impairment, their families, and the professionals who serve them.
In order to maximize individual success, the Governor Morehead School will link our initiatives to the unique needs of students with visual impairment, their families, and the professionals who serve them.
This repositioned state school for the blind will provide the right resource for the right student at the right time by:
Alice Zincone, GMS Teacher, Named NCAEA Special Needs Art Educator of the Year 2014-15!
The GMS Campus is jubilant that one of its own, Art Teacher Alice Zincone, has been named the NCAEA (North Carolina Art Education Association) Special Needs Art Educator of the Year 2014-15!
She will receive her award at the NCAEA statewide conference in New Bern being held on October 23-26, 2014.
In addition, at the Conference, Ms. Zincone will be presenting on "Art Experiences for the Blind and Visually Impaired." This presentation will identify resources within the art room, county and world to help students with visual impairments enjoy the art room experience. High-tech and low-tech materials for adapting lessons or enhancing lessons with more tactile elements will be covered. Samples of student artwork will also be presented. Additionally, an overview of making and using tactile graphics and 3D printing will also be included.
Ms. Zincone attended East Carolina University and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Design in 1989. After working as a jeweler and designer for 7 years she returned to ECU and earned a BFA in Art Education in 1998. She worked for Johnston County and Wake Co. Schools for 7 years before coming to GMS in 2006. She earned her National Board Certification in Art in 2010 and is a Certified Teacher of the Visually Impaired. In addition to her art and art education experience, she has experience as a performer, instrumentalist and songwriter and was named as one of ten in the Independent Weekly's Best Musical Directors in NC (2004) for her participation in Millworker, a locally written and produced play about life in cotton mills in the early 20th century. Ms. Zincone loves all animals, the outdoors, and has 3 cats.
Because of your generous support, the GMS PINK OUT was a huge success. We raised $313.50 to be donated to the Pretty In Pink Foundation.
Pretty In Pink Foundation's mission is to provide financial assistance to uninsured and underinsured breast cancer patients with quality, life-saving medical treatment regardless of their ability to pay.
Thank you for helping to raise awareness in our fight against breast cancer.

The Situation is getting even richer ... now that he 's locked down ANOTHER 6-figure check to be the face of a new tanning salon business ... TMZ has learned.
Sources involved in the deal tell us ... Sitch just signed a 6-figure contract with the Boca Tanning Club. We're told The Situation's deal was pretty sweet -- because along with the FAT paycheck, the company he runs with his brother -- MPS Entertainment -- also got an ownership stake in the business.
We're told Sitch wants to open FOUR new salons in Jersey within the next year -- and he's already recruiting friends and family members to work in the shops.
Calls to Boca Tanning have not been returned.
His 15 minutes aren't over yet?? Go Away already dude, he is obnoxious as hell. Our Country is broke but were still paying millions of dollars to losers like him to show his face and name still. Got to Love our country
The initials MPS actually stand for My Penis Sells. lol
Get all the skin cancer you want over at Boca Tanning, but we will just call it the "situation".
You know any company using this twit is just as foolishly run as his bank account. Ignore him for 10 years and most likely he's living in a box trying to tell people he use to be famous. Better yet, he's ODed on crack and we never see him again. Rest in %*#& dumb ass.
OK, so u look like a smurf, act like a jerk, and u make tons of money. PLUS HE'S NOT EVEN FROM JERSEY! I hope he's getting hit hard with Jersey Taxes from Gov Fred Flinstone!
Another Grease Ball - SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS HE DOING FOR SOCIETY! ANOTHER JACKASS MAKING MONEY AND THE IDIOTS OUT THERE WHAT THE STUPID SHOW.... LETS GET WITH THE PROGRAM PEOPLE.
He is one ugly little man.
he ceratinly as not as dumb as he looks thats for sure !
alot of haters here but he's at least starting businesses and investing , and laughing his dorky face off all the way to the bank .,.,
smart move especially for an uneducated douche ..,.,,
It is a damn shame when Americans who are intelligent, hard working, and deserving are out of work and guys like this are getting six figures for doing the opposite. There truly is no justice in this world.
Does this idiot realise tanning beds have been linked to fatal skin cancers (melanoma). Somone will eventually sue his arse off!
Yeee go sitchy boy! I wish I was this guy hes so hot and lucky!
Gawd, this dude looks 60 years old!! How old is he? JMO, he needs to steer clear of the ole tanning bed for awhile!!
I'm happy things are jumping off for him but I think, in this economy, opening FOUR more salons right off the bat is not a good idea. Keep the one he has for a year to see how well it does and if it's still going well then he can open another one. IMO, he's starting off too fast.
Companies that have stores all over the US and have been in business for decades are closing their stores.
Mike is such a trouble maker! I love the show though and catch all the news at realityaired.com. I can't wait for the fight with Ronnie.
He's the new douche bag for skin cancer. For so many of youth-people who hate black skin but love getting brown, black and red to the touch. Happy cancer and early aging!

It commemorates an ancient Jewish rebellion against oppression, during which the Temple in Jerusalem was miraculously recaptured from pagan hellenizers and rededicated to the worship of God. The candles of Hanukkah celebrate that rededication. They also help brighten the long winter nights. . . . I also want another miracle. But if it does not come, we will make a human miracle. We will give the world the special gift of our Jewishness. We will not let the world burn out our souls.

Source Notes: "Miracles for a Broken Planet," McCalls (December 1972). Potok quotes his father on the eighth night of Hanukkah 1938. The father tries to console the son, who wishes that God would stop the Nazi persecution of the Jews just as he allowed the Maccabees to recapture the Temple of Jerusalem from pagan hellenizers.

Compliance Countdown: June 2013
Within 12 Months
Jan. 14, 2014:
Flight Crewmember Duty and Rest Requirements
This final rule amends the FAA's existing flight, duty and rest regulations applicable to certificate holders operating under domestic, flag and supplemental operations rules. The new requirements eliminate the current distinctions among domestic, flag and supplemental passenger operations and are based on time of day, whether an individual is acclimated to a new time zone and the likelihood of being able to sleep under different circumstances. This rule places a joint responsibility on the certificate holder and each flight crewmember to report for a flight duty period (FDP) properly rested. In order for the crewmember to report properly rested, the certificate holder must provide the crewmember with a meaningful rest opportunity that will allow the crewmember to get the proper amount of sleep. Likewise, the crewmember bears the responsibility of actually sleeping. A pilot who reports for duty without being properly rested is prohibited from beginning or continuing an FDP until he or she is properly rested.
July 4, 2014:
Taws Equipage for Canadian Aircraft with Six or More Passenger Seats
Transport Canada (TC) announced on July 4, 2012 new regulations that would improve safety for small aircraft that fly into remote wilderness or mountainous areas where the danger of flying into terrain is highest. Under the new regulations, commercial operators will have to install a terrain awareness and warning system (Taws) in turbine-powered airplanes with six or more passenger seats. Operators will have two years from implementation to equip their airplanes with Taws. The regulations comply with the International Civil Aviation Organization's standards and bring Canadian regulations close to those of other aviation authorities, including the U.S. and European Union. Canada's TSB also recommended the wider use of Taws to help pilots assess their proximity to terrain. Operators will have five years to equip with an enhanced altitude accuracy function.
Beyond 12 Months
Jan. 1, 2017:
European Union Tcas Version 7.1 Rule
The FAA has published an Information for Operators regarding an EU mandate that certain operators use the latest version 7.1 of the traffic alert and collision avoidance system (Tcas II) software. Although the International Civil Aviation Organization does not require that version 7.1 software be installed for international flights in new and existing aircraft until Jan. 1, 2014, and Jan. 1, 2017, respectively, the EU mandated that all aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of more than 12,500 pounds or with an authorized capacity to carry 19 passengers have the upgrade installed by March 1 this year. However, aircraft with Tcas II version 7.0 that were certified before March 1 this year have an extended deadline of Dec. 1, 2015, to comply with the mandate. The FAA recommends that operators of aircraft with Tcas II installed and that plan on operating in EU airspace need to ensure that version 7.1 software is installed to comply with the EU implementing rule.

News & Events - University of Wisconsin System
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEUW System Contact: Sharyn Wisniewski (608) 262-6448 or pager (608) 551-1331
June 9, 2000
MILWAUKEE - University of Wisconsin System President Katharine C. Lyall today (06/09/00), at the UW System Board of Regents meeting, announced a new program that will enable all UW campuses to harness the commercial potential of their research discoveries.
The project will support the commercialization of university inventions working with a new subsidiary of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) called WiSys Technology Foundation, Inc.
"We are very excited about the potential of this new project," said President Lyall. "It should bring new dollars to our campuses, just as WARF has helped UW Madison recapture money from its research inventions for decades. WiSys will provide incentives to our faculty and staff to see their research programs through to the point that products and processes are developed to benefit the 'real world.'"
In briefing the Regents, University General Counsel Elizabeth Rindskopf-Parker noted that already three new inventions are in the WiSys pipeline and will be pursued for commercial licensing. In all, eight inventions have been identified in the six months that the WiSys program has been under development.
"While it is too early to make predictions on the long-term success of this new venture," said President Lyall, "this is an auspicious beginning."
WiSys will pursue the patent and licensing of inventions created at UW institutions with the exception of UW-Madison, under the direction of General Manager Elizabeth L.R. Donley and her team of professional colleagues at WARF.
The systemwide effort will be supported by the UW-Milwaukee Office of Technology Transfer, led by Associate Provost William Rayburn and Technology Transfer Manager K. C. Lerner.
Also on Friday, UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Nancy C. Zimpher announced the creation of a new position, Senior University Legal Counsel for Technology Development. She has appointed P. J. Boylan, who has more than 15 years of university legal experience and considerable intellectual property experience, to this new post.
With the addition of Ms. Boylan, said Zimpher, "we have established a first-rate team that will meet the challenge of making technologies and research resources developed at all UW System institutions more available across Wisconsin."
The UW-Milwaukee office will provide technical services and support for all UW System campuses with the exception of UW-Madison.
Leaders of WiSys and the UW System expressed optimism about the advantages that this partnership will provide for patenting and licensing inventions created by systemwide faculty and staff. Funds realized from these efforts, said Lyall, will be used to invest in other educational and research programs.

Our values, Our traditions, Our Country
Jason Kenney believes we live in a Canada where people who declare their loyalty to Canada when taking their Citizenship Oaths should do so with FACES uncovered- should do so openly. No veils.
Having been born in Europe, I have been a Naturalized Canadian since the 60′s. I was only 7 years old when I became a Canadian. My parents swore my loyalty in my behalf. Some day I hope to it again on my own, even though it would be only ceremonial for me, because I am as Canadian as a Hockey Puck. But I cannot imagine participating in a citizenship ceremony without having the Canadian judge and the newly minted Canadians being able to SEE my face and to see on my face my deep appreciation for all that this country is about. This country is NOT about people hiding who they are. We not hiders. We not subservient. We are not serfs or slaves. We do Not subordinate our freedom to any human being. Those of us who are of faith, submit only to a higher power, which most of us call God.
Thank you Minister Kenney, for standing up for our values, our traditions and our Country. – CA

Judy: Bowman "Playing Games", Irresponsible With Severance Stance
Winnipeg Mayoral Election – Judy Wasylycia-Leis calls her opponent irresponsible for pledging to get rid of severance cheques for politicians who aren't being severed. What's irresponsible about saying people who choose to leave political office should not ask taxpayers to give them bonuses for doing so? Let's tell the truth. It's not severance. It's legal looting. What's irresponsible about calling for an end to it? Please read the report by clicking on the link below and let me know what you think.

The Importance of Science, Reading, Math & Phys Ed
Over the last couple of weeks, few local talk subjects have grabbed my brain like the one about education and the question about why Manitoba Grade 8′s tested so poorly in Science, Math and Reading. Truth is compared to the rest of the world, Canadians as a whole don't test nearly as well as they used to. It's too easy to say many other countries have advanced. So don't worry be happy. Of all the communications I have received, none was more stunning to me than the teacher whose specialty is phys ed. Not only was he distressed about phys ed being eliminated in so many high schools, even when he taught PE, there was very little physical activity being done in the class. These are his words.
"I received a physical education curriculum that, if followed correctly would have the students sit for three quarters of the class while I would impart the information presented in the curriculum. This at a time when children's fitness levels are at a dangerously low levels. I had to alter the curriculum and make significant changes to address the inherent lack of physical activity reflected in this document.
It is about time when teachers can "be real" and express the real problems with our educational system without any fear of backlash or negative repercussions.
Charles I would suggest that you invite teachers to your program that can speak freely and candidly about, in their opinion, are the real but often hidden factors troubling our educational system. In their words real talk and not political jargon that at the end says and contributes nothing but vague and useless information!"
If you are a teacher or retired teacher, I wonder how much of this speaks to your experience. If you're a student or former student, do you think the teacher is on to something. 1) Not enough phys ed. 2) Not enough physical activity in phys ed. 3) Not enough real talk inside or outside the classroom. 4) Too much jargon.Too little substance.
What do you think?
